Based on the novel The Fighter by Albert Payson Terhune (New York, 1909).
Following the death of her father, Dey Shevlin becomes the ward of Caleb Conover, a railroad president. His enemy Jimmy Blacardo induces a country club's officials to challenge his right to membership in the organization; Dey persuades him to fight back, and he defeats his accusers. Newspapers then reveal a scandal involving the late Tom Shevlin's shady dealings, and though Conover takes the blame, Dey accuses him of using her father as a shield. In a mountain retreat, she discovers the truth from Caine, and Conover comes to her declaring his love, then returns to fight his enemies. When he hears later that Dey has drowned in a canoe accident, Conover banishes the doctor from the room and restores the girl by mental effort. He returns to the city on a locomotive that falls through a burning bridge, but he survives to triumph over his enemies.

Why Warren's Witch-Hunt Won't Work
John Berlau Senior Fellow, CEI
October 09, 2015 4:38 PM ET
Elizabeth Warren "drew blood," writes Washington Post reporter Tom Hamburger. "Elizabeth Warren Claims Another Scalp," reads the headline of an excellent piece by John Fund at National Review Online.
The "blood" and "scalp" are those of Robert Litan, distinguished center-left economist and former high-level official of the Clinton administration Justice Department and Office of Management and Budget, who until recently was non-resident senior fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution. Litan, a friend of mine with whom I have engaged in conversations and civil disagreements, committed the "sin" in Warren's eyes of going against the gospel of neverending regulation. He and coauthor Hal Singer, an economist and senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute, authored a report that questions whether the costs exceed the benefits of the Department of Labor's proposed "fiduciary rule" for IRAs, a regulation that I and others have called "Obamacare for Your IRA."
Even though Litan disclosed on the front page of the paper and prominently in his testimony before Congress that the study was funded by the Capital Group, a provider of investment management services, Warren complained to Brookings that Litan wasn't specific enough in his disclosures. Never mind that, as Fund points out, "it was Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren who, in 2012, played hide-and-seek with reporters for months when they asked for the names of her corporate legal clients." Brookings, home to many former Democratic officeholders, caved and, according to press accounts, sought Litan's resignation and received it.
Yet it's not just Litan's scalp that Warren and her allies are really going for. They want the scalps of the vast majority of American consumers and investors, because they're afraid of letting Americans use the brains under their scalps to make financial decisions. Though much of the coverage of DOL's rule has characterized it as more mandated disclosure, in fact it is Litan who makes the case for better disclosure to improve options for consumers. Warren and the DOL bureaucrats, by contrast, argue that disclosure has reached its limits due to what they regard as Americans' inherent intellectual limitations.
As Warren wrote in 2008 when she was a professor at Harvard Law School, "cognitive limitations of consumers … put consumers' economic security at risk." Warren and her co-author Oren Bar-Gill penned some other choice passages about consumers and their "cognitive limitations" — as apparently opposed to the lack of those limitations by Warren, Bar-Gill, and the bureaucrats they have anointed — in their 2008 University of Pennsylvania Law Review article "Making Credit Safer." Warren and Bar-Gill proclaimed that not only are "many consumers [] uninformed and irrational," they are also uneducable. The authors refer frequently to the "limits of learning" and "why getting smarter collectively does not work."
As described by journalist Michael Patrick Leahy, Warren and Bar-Gill "argued that American consumers are, in essence, too simple-minded to understand credit and therefore must be protected by the federal government."
This 2008 article premised on the supposed stupidity of consumers, and the need for a government intellectual elite to limit their decision-making, outlined what would become the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was created when the Dodd-Frank "financial reform" law was rammed through Congress two years later. In addition to its lack of accountability to Congress through the appropriations process — lest it become subject to the elected representatives of voters with "cognitive limitations" — the CFPB also has the power to ban not just "unfair" and "deceptive" lending practices, but loans or credit terms it deems "abusive" to cognitively-impaired consumers. (Because CEI believes consumers can think for themselves, and because we believe that the structure of the CFPB is abusive to constitutional guarantees of accountability in government, we are suing to overturn the CFPB for structural violations of the Constitution.)
And now with the fiduciary rule, the DOL has put forth a rationale similar to that of Warren for the CFPB, explicitly premised on what bureaucrats deem to be the stupidity of American retirement savers. As I have written previously, the DOL proposed rule comes right out and says in its first few pages that most Americans "can't prudently manage retirement assets on their own" and that improved disclosure won't help that much. So the DOL rule would massively increase liability and fines for financial professionals who handle 401(k)s and IRAs, unless they choose assets and an investing strategies from an approved DOL list.
"Disclosure alone has proven ineffective," proclaims the rule. "Most consumers generally cannot distinguish good advice, or even good investment results, from bad." In fact, proclaims the DOL, "recent research suggests that even if disclosure about conflicts could be made simple and clear, it would be ineffective — or even harmful."
In their paper, Litan and Singer challenge these points and stand up for American savers' intelligence and right to make investment choices. "At a minimum, before undertaking a major overhaul of the retirement savings market, wouldn't prudence call for at least trying a better disclosure standard first, before abandoning enhanced disclosure entirely?" they ask.
To address the DOL's main complaint of investors not knowing that brokers can receive additional payments from firms that manage mutual funds and annuities, Litan and Singer propose written statements to be given to investors of the exact amount brokers will be compensated by these firms when investors buy these products. I'm not sure I would agree the costs of the regulation they propose would justify the benefits. But it would certainly be better than the current proposed DOL regulation that would likely result in a massive reduction in personalized investment guidance, and that Litan and Singer estimate credibly could cost savers $80 billion over the next decade.
More importantly for our system of self-government, a disclosure approach would respect consumers and investors as rational adults capable of making decisions for themselves. What Warren's feud with Litan really exposes is a dispute among progressives — as to whether choice and competition can be improved by regulation or if choice and competition represent market failures themselves. Throughout his career, Litan has always fought for the ideal of competitive markets and sovereign consumers even if — as in his role in pursuing the Microsoft antitrust case as a Clinton DOJ official — he championed interventionist approaches that libertarians would oppose.
Fortunately, Litan's brand of left-liberalism that respects consumers' intelligence still shows signs of life. Ninety-six House Democrats, including some like Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) who are decidedly in the progressive camp, recently wrote the DOL arguing that "It is vital that the proposal doesn't limit consumer choice and access to advice, have a disproportionate impact on lower or middle-income communities, or raise the costs of saving for retirement." These members should join their Republican colleagues in freezing funding for implementation of the rule until it is rewritten to address these vital transpartisan concerns.

At Case Western Reserve University, doctoral study in sociology is focused on four areas of inquiry: the sociology of age and the life course; medical sociology; social inequality; and research methods. Within these areas, students may focus on a wide range of specific topics, such as stress and coping, health disparities, the social construction of diagnosis and disease, and the interaction of race, class, gender, age and other factors as sources of social inequality. Graduate training includes a wide array of advanced quantitative, qualitative, action, and other techniques taught through courses and one-on-one mentors hip. Students learn to integrate theory and methods and to apply them to specific substantive issues, which can range from health practices of individuals to institutional care and reform to international phenomena.
Our doctoral students pursue their education in an intellectually rigorous environment that is informal and friendly. Study at CWRU provides exceptional opportunities for mentoring and close working relationships with faculty. These opportunities include meaningful hands-on involvement in research projects such as managing data collection, preparing grant applications for research funding, presenting papers at national and international meetings, and writing and publishing collaboratively with faculty.
As part of their research apprenticeships, students have the opportunity to participate in a range of empirical projects, including some that are supported by the National Institutes of Health. Our students also have opportunities to work with researchers in other schools, including the School of Medicine, the School of Law, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, and the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.

Code- 421 (Green top) is an 'Axial' cartridge meaning the water enters at the base and travels along the length of the filter.
It has a 1 micron pre filter at the base to prevent dirt.
Following this is the SilverSafe, to kill bacteria that may otherwise breed in the carbon. The carbon removes the contaminates.
The final process is another bed of SilverSafe to assist in maintaining a bacteria free environment in the purified water.
Please note: This cartridge does NOT fit the B.E.S.T. Inline models.
This cartridge is for 'domestic style' systems that fit 9 & 3/4" sized replacement cartridge. Does not fit the B.E.S.T. Inline models.
I chose this cartridge as I had an under bench 10 inch filter housing and filtered water tap in my new caravan and needed a replacement cartridge after the factory one reached the end of its life. I already had an inline BEST water filter which I have been very pleased with over the years so it was natural to go for another BEST filter for the under bench filter in this new van. It had the same benefits of silver granules to stop bacteria growth and 1 micron filter to remove any parasites. When initially installed, I flushed a lot of water through it to remove carbon fines. I have just returned from a 2 week holiday and the filter was very effective in the removal of the chlorine taste from the mains water supply. It met all my expectations.

Enhanced Clarity at Night The As Seen On TV HD Night Vision wraparound glasses reduce night driving glare and eye strain. The wraparound design fits over regular prescription glasses for added convenience. High definition lenses work to reduce glare from oncoming headlights and other bright lights for a more clear line of sight.
Before i had to use regular sunglasses at night, with these its great to reduce the glare without reducing visibility ! changes in the car lights are so much brighter now, it actually hurts to see on coming traffic, seems weird to wear sunglasses of any type, but its a lot safer to drive with these on !
The glare is just as bad, but now it's yellow.
These don't work at all. The nighttime glare is just as bad, but now it's yellow. I will never buy an "as seen on tv" item ever again.

Mark Woods: London to become first "National Park City." Why not us?
Mark Woods @TUmarkwoods
Apr 23, 2019 at 4:04 PM Apr 23, 2019 at 9:20 PM
It's National Park Week, a good excuse to visit one of our area parks and, in my case, write another column about them.
Before I get to what's in our backyard, it seems like a good time to bring up what is happening across the ocean.
I saved a story from a few months ago with the headline: "London will become the world's first National Park City."
Daniel Raven-Ellison wrote a blog post five years ago suggesting this. His idea took off, leading to crowdfunding, partnerships and London Mayor Sadiq Khan declaring that in the summer of 2019 London will become a National Park City.
"When I started off, a lot of people just thought I was a bit bonkers," Raven-Ellison told CNN. "But whether it took five seconds, five minutes or five months, people have really awakened to this big idea that really could improve life in London."
With a long history of air pollution and traffic congestion, London might seem like an unlikely candidate for such a title. Organizers say that's one reason for doing this — to take a city that has its issues, but also has beautiful urban parks (18 percent of the city is public lands) and make it "greener, healthier, wilder."
In many ways, London is crowning itself a National Park City.
It is an aspirational title, as much something to strive for in the future as something earned in the past. So while I'm not sure I'd pick London as "the world's first National Park City," I like the idea that people there — from citizens to the mayor — view this as a worthy goal.
Organizers have dreams that go beyond London. They'd like company: 25 National Park Cities around the world by 2025. Which leads me back to Jacksonville.
Why not us?
We sure like to brag about our parks.
Visit Jacksonville touts "the largest urban park system in the country" with more than 80,000 acres, including 400 city parks, seven state parks, national parks and dozens of gardens and arboretums.
We have a string of National Park Service sites within a couple of hours, stretching from Fort Frederica National Monument in St. Simons to Fort Matanzas National Monument in St. Augustine.
In between, we have Cumberland Island National Seashore, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve — 46,000 acres of land and water, with more than 6,000 years of human history.
We have the St. Johns River, the tributaries, the ocean, the beaches.
San Francisco has been mentioned as a possibility. With one of the best urban parks in America (Golden Gate National Recreation Area), nearby Muir Woods National Monument, leaders and citizens that make public land and recreation a priority (and might embrace the National Park City idea), San Francisco makes sense.
But why not us? If any city in Florida has the potential, it's Jacksonville.
Imagine what that would mean for attracting visitors. Even more important, imagine what that could mean for those of us who live here, who would like to see our children and their children live here.
Well, there are plenty of reasons. Start with the fact that, while we're busy touting our parks, we don't put our money where our mouth is. By pretty much any measure, we spend a fraction of what other cities with great parks do.
Or look at the river. We're already seeing green algae this year, not a good sign for what's coming this summer.
Or try to imagine whether our leaders, in government and business, would do like London's Mayor Khan and embrace such an idea.
From Charlie Bennett to John Delaney, local leaders deserve credit for the parks we have today. But we have long struggled to do more with them. Mayor John Peyton established a parks task force that did good work, but when the economy tanked, few of its recommendations came to fruition.
When Lenny Curry was first elected, he talked about improving health in Duval County. While there's something to be said for initiatives such as Journey to One and his "mayorthon" — with goals like losing 1 million collective pounds — those now feel a bit like New Year's resolutions. And we still haven't made the most of our healthful places, or done enough to shed our reputation as a dangerous place for pedestrians.
We sometimes talk about establishing dedicated funding for crime, libraries and other important issues. If it were up to me, I'd vote for dedicated funding for our public lands and water — and argue that it would pay off with tourism, quality of life and more.
During this National Park Week, go ahead and dream of trips to Yosemite and Yellowstone. But enjoy what we have right here.
Imagine what it could have become.
Imagine what it could become.

Kartik Aaryan reveals what all his parents do, to keep him grounded.
With Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety having entered the 100-crore club, Kartik Aaryan is now a sought-after name in tinsel town. We, in fact, heard he was in talks with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions which didn't work out, following differences of opinions between him and Karan. Instead, he bagged Laxman Utekar's Luka Chuppi which stars him opposite Kriti Sanon. On Thursday, at the film's trailer launch event, the actor made a number of interesting revelations, including this one giveaway that's cracking us up.
Kartik was honest to admit that his parents still scold and sometimes even hit him so that the stardom doesn't get on his head and he remains grounded! Quite courageous of an actor to make such a confession publicly, right? Kartik, who debuted with Pyaar Ka Punchnama and also starred in Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, is indebted to the franchise for building his fanbase among the young generation. But it was STKS that put him in the wish list of filmmakers. Humble of his parents to not allow their son to feel like a star!
Kartik is also set to star in Pati, Patni Aur Woh along with his rumoured girlfriend Ananya Pandey. While makers were initially in talks with Taapsee Pannu, they zeroed on in Ananya, probably upsetting Taapsee in the process. It is reported that the actor might star in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal 2 opposite Sara Ali Khan as well.


Michael DeBakey was bornon September 07, 1908 in Louisiana, United States, is Cardiac Surgeon. A pioneer in surgery, American cardiovascular surgeon Michael DeBakey was a physician, scientist, and innovator, all rolled into one. He is the inventor of the Roller-pump that makes it possible to provide continuous supply of blood during operations. This invention was a milestone in cardiac surgery, as open-heart surgery would have been impossible without the use of this pump. Even as a young boy he knew that he wanted to be in the medical profession. Curious and intelligent from an early age, he had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and loved to invent things. This innate curiosity in him led him to invent many surgical devices later in his life as a medical doctor. Over a long career spanning over seven decades, Dr. DeBakey revolutionized the field of cardiology in ways too numerous to count. During his stint with the army, he helped to develop the mobile army surgical hospital (MASH) units which facilitated the fast transportation of wounded soldiers to surgical hospitals. Often regarded as one of the greatest surgeons of his time, he is credited to have performed over 60,000 operations. He was also famous for being called to treat world leaders like President Boris N. Yeltsin of Russia.
He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on September 7, 1908, to Lebanese immigrants Shaker and Raheeja Dabaghi (later Anglicized to DeBakey).
DeBakey received his BS degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. In 1932, he received an M.D. degree from Tulane University School of Medicine. He remained in New Orleans to complete his internship and residency in surgery at Charity Hospital. DeBakey completed his surgical fellowships at the University of Strasbourg, France, under Professor René Leriche, and at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, under Professor Martin Kirschner. Returning to Tulane Medical School, he served on the surgical faculty from 1937 to 1948. From 1942 to 1946, he was on military leave as a member of the Surgical Consultants' Division in the Office of the Surgeon General of the Army, and in 1945 he became its Director and received the Legion of Merit. DeBakey helped develop the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) units and later helped establish the Veteran's Administration Medical Center Research System. He joined the faculty of Baylor University College of Medicine (now known as the Baylor College of Medicine) in 1948, serving as Chairman of the Department of Surgery until 1993. DeBakey was President of the college from 1969 to 1979, served as Chancellor from 1979 to January 1996; he was then named Chancellor Emeritus. He was also Olga Keith Wiess and Distinguished Service Professor in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and Director of the DeBakey Heart Center for research and public education at Baylor College of Medicine and The Methodist Hospital.
With his mentor, Alton Ochsner, he postulated in 1939 a strong link between smoking and carcinoma of the lung. DeBakey was one of the first to perform coronary artery bypass surgery, and in 1953 he performed the first successful carotid endarterectomy. A pioneer in the development of an artificial heart, DeBakey was the first to use an external heart pump successfully in a patient – a left ventricular bypass pump.
DeBakey pioneered the use of Dacron grafts to replace or repair blood vessels. In 1958, to counteract narrowing of an artery caused by an endarterectomy, DeBakey performed the first successful patch-graft angioplasty. This procedure involved patching the slit in the artery from an endarterectomy with a Dacron or vein graft. The patch widened the artery so that when it closed, the channel of the artery returned to normal size. The DeBakey artificial graft is now used around the world to replace or repair blood vessels.
In the 1960s, DeBakey and his team of Surgeons were among the first to record surgeries on film. A camera operator would lie prone atop a surgical film stand made to DeBakey's specifications and record a surgeon's eye view of the operating area. The camera and Lights were positioned within three to four feet of the operative field, yet did not interfere with the surgical team. DeBakey hired surgeon Denton Cooley to Baylor College of Medicine in 1951. They collaborated and frequently worked together until Cooley's resignation from his faculty position at the college in 1969.
In 1969, the Baylor College of Medicine separated from Baylor University under his direction. The DeBakey High School for Health Professions, the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston at the Texas Medical Center in Houston are named after him. He had a role in establishing the Michael E. DeBakey Heart Institute at the Hays Medical Center in Kansas. Several atraumatic vascular surgical clamps and forceps that he introduced also bear his name. DeBakey founded the Michael E. DeBakey Institute at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences as a collaboration between Texas A&M, the Baylor College of Medicine and the UT Health Science Center at Houston to further cardiovascular research.
On December 31, 2005, at age 97, DeBakey suffered an aortic dissection. Years prior, DeBakey had pioneered the surgical treatment of this condition, creating what is now known as the DeBakey Procedure. He was hospitalized at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.
On July 11, 2008, DeBakey died at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, two months before his 100th birthday; the cause of death remained unspecified. DeBakey was preceded in death by his first wife, Diana Cooper DeBakey who died of a heart attack in 1972 and by his sons, Houston Lawyer Ernest O. DeBakey, who died in 2004, and Barry E. DeBakey, who died in 2007. His brother Ernest, a general surgeon in Mobile, Alabama, died in 2006. In addition to his wife, Katrin, and their daughter, Olga, DeBakey was survived by sons Michael and Denis, as well as sisters Lois and Selma DeBakey, who are both medical editors and linguists at Baylor. After lying in repose in Houston's City Hall, being the first ever to do so, DeBakey received a memorial Service at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on July 16, 2008 Dr. DeBakey was granted ground burial in Arlington National Cemetery by the Secretary of the Army. On January 21, 2009, DeBakey became the first posthumous recipient of The Denton A. Cooley Leadership Award.
In early 2008, Dr. DeBakey attended a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, honoring his life, work, and dedication to care and teaching. The museum officially opened on Friday, May 14, 2010.
DeBakey initially resisted the surgical option, but as his health deteriorated and DeBakey became unresponsive, the surgical team opted to proceed with surgical intervention. In a controversial decision, Houston Methodist Hospital Ethics Committee approved the operation; on February 9–10, he became the oldest patient ever to undergo the surgery for which he was responsible. The operation lasted seven hours. After a complicated post-operative course that required eight months in the hospital at a cost of over one million dollars, DeBakey was released in September 2006 and returned to good health. Although DeBakey had previously refused surgery, he later stated that he was grateful that his surgical team performed the operation.
