Dr. Robert D. Moore's Ratings
Dr Moore is one of the greatest doctor I have ever had! For months I was suffering from incontinence due to a vesicovaginal fistula after an open hysterectomy. I found Dr Moore via the Internet and I wrote him few questions on how to repair it in which he replied with miles of details. He gave me confidence that he's the doctor for me and thus I booked the surgery with him. As l lived in Hong Kong (China) I did not know what to do and where to stay in Atlanta, his staff arranged everything for me . So from Hong Hong to Atlanta my husband and I went for my surgery in Aug 2010. Dr Moore and his staff were wonderful and kind to us. The surgery was superbly performed and I received the best care possible. Now nearly 5 years after, I continue to enjoy good health and wonderful living. Thank you Dr Moore and your staff for restoring my health!

Dr. Moore is a great compassionate doctor. He not only spent a lot of time with me in the office but his bedside manner after surgery was comforting. After years of pain I am finally able to be active again. Thank you Dr. Moore for giving me my life back.

The staff was very welcoming and comforting which made the procedure much easier. They were efficient in explaining the steps of testing that had to be done and working around my work schedule, especially being I was out of state. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable, he spent time with me and my husband explaining the procedure. He showed visual pictures which made it easier to understand the surgery. The doctor was very compassionate toward my concerns. I appreciate the time the doctor and staff had spent with myself and husband. It made the experience very pleasurable, I would recommend anyone to see this doctor the surgery was a success.

I found Dr. Moore and his staff to be EXCELLENT. I had an operation over 2 years ago and his staff still call to see how I am doing. I originally found Dr. Moore after researching procedures through the internet and then communicated via email. After reviewing my records Dr. Moore's staff helped me coordinate paperwork, insurance, office visits, surgery, travel, hotel & even a nurse to check on me once I got home since I was out-of-state (FL). Dr. Moore & Dr. Milkos laparoscopically repaired a vesco-vaginal fistula which resulted from a previous hysterectomy performed by a Dr. in Orlando FL. I had several procedures done by several Dr.s in Florida after the hysterectomy which worsened my condition and I was about to give up before I found Dr. Moore. I thank God every day for finding Dr. Moore and for the successful operation that finally brought my life back to normal. Dr. Moore and Dr. Miklos including their professional staff are in a league of their own.

Dr. Moore was very mean and arrogant to me. Every follow up appointment I had was canceled. He seemed very annoyed at my questions and made me feel ignorant, if I did not understand what he was telling me. His inability to answer my questions in a way that I could understand made me lack confidence in his abilities as a physician. I felt his rudeness to me was very personal. He seems to value patients that are nurses or doctors which would explain the positive comments from the nurses. I was just a lay person and of no significance in the eyes of Dr. Moore.

Dr. Moore is an excellent doctor. I had my first visit with him in January 09' after going from doctor to doctor to find the source of the continual pain that I had been in for a while. He spoke with me for about 30 minutes before the exam and then over an hour after the exam, explaining in detail what was going on with me. I'm 54 years old, and I've never been to a doctor that spent that amount of time talking to me! He wrote down my diagnosis and drew pictures and diagrams to show me what was going on. It turned out that I had multiple problems causing the pain. I had surgery in March, four weeks ago. I feel amazing already, and for the first time in a long time I have hope for the future, all because of Dr. Moore and his surgical expertise. I should also mention his office staff (all of them), who are amazing. They have returned every call, answered every (multiple)question, and have the best attitude of any office I've ever been to. I highly recommend this practice.

We Can't Get Enough of Fifty Shades of Grey
The movie may have been released in February, but we still can't get...Posted April 28th
Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series is a literary sensation, thanks to its strong female hero, well-fleshed (both literally and literarily) characters and unabashed attitude toward sex. The world Hamilton has created is powerfully compelling and stunningly complex–and it gets deeper and richer, and more perilous, with every book.
Straddling the series' dominant themes of sex and power, Ardeur gives Anita fans a deeper look into the dynamics, both personal political, that have kept readers fascinated throughout the run of the series. Why is the ardeur the very best thing that could have happened to Anita, personally (aside from all the sex it requires her to have with hot men)? How is Anita's alternate United States a logical legal extension of our own? And as the series continues, what other bargains might Anita have to make with herself and others in order to keep the people she loves safe from harm?

Good relationships are key to effective engagement. These depend on clarity of expectation and acknowledging the power imbalances between people who use services and academic staff. A good place to start is creating a statement of values on which further engagement can be based. This can also help to tackle some of the practical barriers to involvement that are presented by custom and practice in academic institutions.
"It is important that professionals learn to 'let go' of some of their power for
real service user involvement to happen."
—Member of Service User Panel for Open University School of Health and Social Welfare
Effective engagement requires a strong value base and is supported by developing a statement of values and principles at the outset (Ager et. al, 2005). This should be done in partnership with people who use services and carers and offers:
Ensuring a fair and effective working relationship relies upon the following components:

The question is unanswerable, because there are so many different meanings to
the word "cult." Some are positive; some
neutral. Most are negative:
In suppressing the Falun Dafa, the Chinese government has adopted much of the terminology of the Western anti-cult
movement. The official Xinhua News Agency issued a report on
"cults" in the United States. 4 It quoted
Berkley psychology professor Margaret Singer, who was one of the few
psychologists who supported the claims of the anti-cult movement until
her death in 2003. The
report discusses "spiritual poisoning." Cults are
said to "not obey the law, they upset social order, and they
create a menace to freedom of religion and social stability. Under the
pretense of religion, kindness, and being non-political, they
participate in political activities. Some of them even practice
criminal activities such as tax evasion, fraud, drug dealing,
smuggling, assassination, and kidnapping."
The Chinese government has described the Falun Dafa as a dangerous "cult."
Some of their claims sound quite improbable:
The government appears to regard the Falun Dafa as the most
serious threat to the government since the 1989 student pro-democracy uprising. The
government has historical reasons for their fear. China has had a
history of religious and spiritual uprisings that had catastrophic effects on the
country. "In the late 1770s, the White Lotus rebellion against
the Qing dynasty was led by Wang Lun, a master of martial arts and
herbal medicine." 5 Perhaps the most
serious was the Taiping rebellion of 1845-1864 which was led by a leader
who viewed himself as the Son of God. Some 20 million died in that
revolt. 5

The best way to winterize is using a combination of the blow out method and the antifreeze method. Click here for an extensive winterizing checklist.
Start by bypassing your hot water heater. Then drain tanks, valves and any other place that water can be trapped. Then use a blow out plug to blow air through the lines and get them as empty as possible. Then, if you want to be absolutely sure you've got all the water out, pump antifreeze through the system to guarantee you haven't left any water in hard-to-remove places like toilet valves or plumping traps.
If you use the right tools and take care not to forget any of the hidden spots, you'll quickly and easily prepare your trailer for freezing weather.

Clowney says he "never thought" of skipping 2013 season
COLUMBIA — Jadeveon Clowney found out about last month's talk of him possibly sitting out his junior year in anticipation of the NFL from a phone call.
When the defensive All-American saw and heard what the media was saying, he didn't understand why he was being singled out as a candidate to do something no college player had done before.
His coaches have already dismissed the idea, but Clowney spoke about the speculation for the first time Thursday, saying he "never thought" of not playing.
"I used to play around with the boys (and say) I'm going to sit out," he said after USC's second spring practice. "But ... I am going to go to school and play."
Clowney, who is already projected to be first when he's eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft, said he isn't looking ahead to a professional career. He wants to have more than the single-season school-record 13 sacks he totaled a year ago and "try to lead my team to more wins."
Doing that can help make him a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate in 2013.
"I'm going to be ready for it," he said about the hype. "I'm just gonna deal with it, just going to keep playing like I've been playing, 100 percent. Just try to go out there and do better than I did last year."
Clowney has taken out a $5 million insurance policy through the NCAA to protect himself financially during the Gamecocks' 2013 season. The $5 million is the maximum amount allowed.
Since the Outback Bowl, when he made an incredible hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith, Clowney's been the face of college football. He did an exclusive interview with the network Tuesday that ran nationally on "SportCenter."
Sports Illustrated put on him on a regional cover last week, labeling him as the "football's next bust-out star."
"I've just been really not paying attention," Clowney said. "I've just been working out and going to class."
There's no question he's been doing the former.
The 6-foot-6 Clowney, who uses speed and power to blow past left tackles, played at 260 pounds last season. Since then, he's beefed up to 273 pounds without slowing down.
"I want to keep my speed up. I don't want to gain weight and then get slower," Clowney said. "I put on 12 pounds, 13 pounds and I'm still running the same speed so it's pretty good."
He confirmed a report from this week that he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, saying the number was 4.54.
Guys his size aren't usually putting up that kind of number, although he claims he posted faster times in high school.
While that isn't good news for SEC quarterbacks, USC running back Mike Davis is just glad Clowney is on his team.
"He doesn't hit us like he did the dude from Michigan," Davis said.
"It's good for us. I don't want to be hit that hard and I hope it's not coming any time soon because I don't want to be on SportsCenter. Not that way."

The past month has just flown by! It seems like once October gets here, the next few months come and go in a hurry! The excitement and anticipation of all the holidays builds for 9 months and then in the blink of an eye they're in our rear view mirror. Adding a 4th child shortly before this season has definitely added to the busyness. Even with all the chaos and busy schedules, this is still my very favorite time of the year. I LOVE fall!!! You will notice how much I love it by the many pictures I've taken over the last month. The foliage here is beautiful, as always, and makes it so fun to visit pumpkin patches and parks. The slideshow consists of a trip to a pumpkin patch for some friends of ours 4oth birthday celebration, a trip to a local park, Halloween, and of course, lots of my girls! :) Enjoy!

Roadside bomb kills five civilians in southern Afghanistan
Thu Sep 20, 2012 6:30PM
Roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are by far the most lethal weapon Taliban militants use against Afghan forces and foreign troops.Violence in Afghanistan has been on the rise in recent months despite the presence of thousands of US-led foreign forces in the war-weary country. The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington's so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but years into the invasion, insecurity continues to rise across the country. AZA/SZH/JR

Last week, the world lost one of the greatest songwriting collaborators of all time--Jerry Leiber.
A legendary and iconic BMI songwriter, Leiber was instrumental in shaping the sound and subject matter of rock & roll and early rhythm & blues.
The songs Jerry Leiber wrote with his longtime friend and writing partner Mike Stoller--risque, funny, tongue-in-cheek and exquisitely crafted--were able to accelerate rapidly antiquating social conventions, foreshadowing and even sparking the dramatic social changes that soon followed.
Leiber and Stoller's extraordinary perspective, wit and eye for detail transcended race and gender in ways that can still leave listeners wondering how a couple of young Jewish kids could even know some of these specifics, much less shape them effortlessly into couplets that would burst with absolute authenticity from the grooves of 45s by the Coasters, Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley, Ben E. King and others.
Here is the first verse of Leiber's Down Home Girl, recorded by New Orleans r&b guitarist Alvin Robinson, and later by the Coasters and the Rolling Stones:
Lord I swear the perfume you wear
Was made out of turnip greens
And every time I kiss you girl
It tastes like pork and beans
Even though you're wearin' them
Citified high heels
I can tell by your giant step
You been walkin' through the cotton fields
Oh, you're so down home girl
The list of Leiber and Stoller's hits is awe-inspiring: Hound Dog, Kansas City, Yakety Yak, Jailhouse Rock, Searchin', Stand By Me, On Broadway, Love Potion #9, Is That All There Is? and many, many more. Leiber's life was a testament to the power of popular music to capture our imaginations, shape our memories and transcend our boundaries and divisions.
Importantly, though, it was also a tribute to the possibilities of collaboration.
It's something I understand personally. My late parents were Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, Nashville's first professional songwriters, immensely influential in country and early rock & roll.
My parents wrote Bye Bye, Love, Wake Up, Little Susie, All I Have to Do Is Dream, Love Hurts and many other hits for the Everly Brothers, as well as Raining in My Heart by Buddy Holly, the bluegrass classic Rocky Top, and many others. To see them write and work together was extraordinary, and also a window into the unique demands of this delicate and special balancing act.
So much of art is grounded in the image of the mysterious and lonely auteur. And in a business often seemed to be driven by powerful undercurrents of ego and one-upmanship, there is something particularly poignant about two songwriters coming together for the singular purpose of creating something great and at the same time having fun--forging two burning and brilliant talents into one perfect piece of work.
I am so fortunate to have been able to witness this happen again and again while still a child. It has profoundly shaped the way I see the world and our copyright industry, and the creativity that blooms from co-writers when at their best.
It requires patience, humility, honesty and self-knowledge to work so closely with another person--especially another songwriter, a friend, a mate, a wife--to share credit, glory, royalties and even entire professional lives and reputations for the sake of the songs.
Music is collaborative, listening to and inspiring one another to greater heights of creativity. And it is still something we experience collectively.
You see a lot of headphones these days, especially worn by young people--a long way from how we once communally experienced music when listening with our friends. And while there is a level of intimacy and scrutiny that comes from listening on headphones, the sad passing of Jerry Leiber reminds me of watching my parents work, creating these beautifully crafted gems of popular culture, and then later hearing them with my friends as they thundered out of jukeboxes, car radios and rec room record players. What started as the shared vision of two became the shared experience of millions.
The songs Jerry Leiber crafted with Mike Stoller will truly live forever. It is nice to imagine that every time they are played, the spirit of collaboration and fun with which they were created is set free, a reminder of what amazing things can be accomplished when creators work together within an industry that appreciates and compensates them for their efforts.
Del Bryant, along with Phil Graham, BMI Senior Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations and Brandon Bakshi, Executive Director, Writer/Publisher Relations, Europe & Asia, hosts the BMI London Awards on 4 October. The BMI London Awards recognises the UK and European songwriters and publishers of the past year's most-performed songs on radio and television in the United States.

After another disappointing loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, Bill Belichick and the Patriots front office wasted no time in strengthening the team.
With issues all over the defense and in some areas on offense, Belichick and Nick Caserio targeted specific players to help the Patriots.
Using both the draft and free agency to build the team, Belichick has the Patriots as a Super Bowl favorite yet again.
With a multitude of moves made, the following players are the ones I believe will have the greatest impact for New England in the upcoming 2012-13 NFL season.

Osteochondrosis is one of the most important and prevalent developmental orthopedic diseases of horses. Although its specific etiology is not known, it is considered to arise from a focal disturbance in endochondral ossification. The term osteochondrosis is currently used to describe the clinical manifestation of the disorder; however, the term dyschondroplasia is preferred when referring to early lesions because primary lesions are seen in cartilage.
Osteochondrosis has a multifactorial etiology that includes rapid growth, overnutrition, mineral imbalance, and biomechanics (ie, trauma to cartilage). Genetics has been implicated in some breeds (eg, Standardbred and Swedish Warmblood). The condition mainly affects articular growth cartilage, but the metaphysis may also be involved. If the physeal metaphyseal cartilage is affected, bone contours and longitudinal growth are disturbed (see Physitis in Horses). Involvement of articular cartilage at the periphery of joint surfaces leads to regressive changes at the joint margins, dissecting lesions, and the formation of cartilage flaps or osteochondral fragments (osteochondrosis). Central articular lesions, because of weight-bearing effects, may lead to the development of subchondral cysts (see Subchondral Cystic Lesions). Axial skeletal involvement includes vertebral articular facets, which may be associated with stenosis of the vertebral canal and, therefore, ataxia and proprioceptive deficits (ie, wobbler syndrome), but the relationship between these conditions is not clear.
The clinical signs of equine osteochondrosis are difficult to characterize specifically because of the wide range of lesions and sites involved. Many cases have no detectable clinical signs and are identified on presale radiographs. Furthermore, lesions of dyschondroplasia do not always progress to osteochondrosis and produce clinical signs. In severe cases, other signs of developmental orthopedic disease also may be apparent.
The most common presenting sign of osteochondrosis is a nonpainful distention of an affected joint (eg, gonitis, bog spavin). The exceptions to this are joints in which swelling is difficult to detect (eg, shoulder joint, medial femorotibial joint) and in which lameness is more often the first sign observed. Clinical signs may be divided broadly into two categories; those seen in foals <6 mo old and those seen in older animals. Often the first sign noted in foals is a tendency to spend more time lying down. This is accompanied frequently by joint swelling, stiffness, and difficulty keeping up with other animals in the paddock. An accompanying sign may be the development of upright conformation of the limbs, presumably as a result of rapid growth. Fetlock osteochondrosis is particularly seen in younger foals (<6 mo old).
Lameness is usually absent or mild except for those sites mentioned above for which the earlier sign of joint swelling is difficult to detect. For example, lesions in the shoulder frequently result in moderate to severe lameness, muscle atrophy, and pain on joint flexion. In the stifle, some horses with subchondral bone cysts in the medial femoral condyle present with lameness severe enough that a fracture may be suspected and swelling may only be detected on careful examination. More severe signs are observed when osteochondral fragments come loose within the joint. This is often seen in yearlings or older horses that present with stiffness, flexion responses, and varying degrees of lameness. These signs are usually associated with the onset of training.
Clinical diagnosis can often be made on the basis of signalment and signs. More definitive diagnosis requires the use of some specific clinical aids. Radiographic examination has been the traditional method of confirming diagnosis; however, early lesions involving cartilage without significant subchondral bone damage will not be visualized. In the distal limb, oblique views may be helpful; in the hock, because the most common site of a lesion is the distal intermediate ridge of the tibia, the best view is a plantarolateral/dorsomedial oblique. Ultrasonographic examination of the swollen joints can help delineate articular damage and synovial inflammation and determine if osteochondral fragments are intra- or extra-articular. The most accurate way to confirm diagnosis is by arthroscopy, and most of the predilection sites are accessible except for the cervical articulations.
Scintigraphy has limitations in growing horses due to normal high activity in physes and sites of active endochondral ossification. It is a useful technique for detecting subchondral cysts and secondary degenerative changes in older horses. MRI is ideal for diagnosis of both early and late lesions but is not widely available. Also, sites that are most diagnostically challenging are generally in the proximal limb where access is difficult. Clinical pathology and the evaluation of synovial fluid is rarely helpful but can be used to eliminate inflammatory causes of swollen joints.
Management of osteochondrosis depends on the site and severity of signs. Mild cases recover spontaneously, and a conservative approach may be appropriate. In young animals (<12 mo old), this involves restricted exercise for some weeks combined with a reduction in feed intake to slow the growth rate. Particular care should be taken to ensure appropriate mineral supplementation (eg, suspected copper deficiency). It is controversial whether correcting the diet, once signs have developed, will actually assist resolution, but it may help limit or prevent further cases on stud farms. Intra-articular medication with hyaluronic acid may be beneficial, and injection of long-acting corticosteroids may help reduce swelling and improve any associated synovitis but is not recommended in young, growing horses.
Those cases considered for surgery are mainly treated arthroscopically. This technique has been successful in most affected sites, particularly the hock, stifle, and fetlock. Damaged cartilage, osteochondral fragments, and compromised subchondral bone are removed and the joint flushed extensively with sterile fluid. Prognosis following removal of discrete osteochondral fragments is good. In cases with more extensive osteochondral damage, the prognosis depends on the extent of the joint surface that must be removed. The prognosis is poor for cases with instability resulting from joint surface loss or in which secondary osteo-arthritis (degenerative joint disease) is advanced. This is often the case with shoulder osteochondrosis due to the difficulty in detecting early signs. Cases involving subchondral cysts have a guarded prognosis as they are often in important weightbearing areas of the joint and reconstruction of the joint surface is rarely possible.
