Hello, I had closed rhinoplasty about 6 weeks ago. My doctor told me he created a slight curve... Although the bump I had is now gone, I have yet to see that curve! Also, he said my nose would be less prominent...It still is! Could it be that the swelling (I thought most of it would be gone by now) is still hiding the curve and making my nose look prominent?
Where is the Curve on my Nose? Am I Still Swollen?

Nasal Tip Swelling after Rhinoplasty
Hi fashionista55555-
It will take several months for swelling in the nasal tip to subside, especially if the skin is thick. You need to be patient and keep all your appointments with your surgeon.

Swelling of nose 6 weeks after surgery
There's still quite a bit of nasal swelling this early after surgery. Also, depending on how much of a bump was removed you may have skin that still needs to "shrink wrap" or contract to the new smaller nasal framework. This takes time.
I would give your nose time to do it's healing. Also, discuss your concerns with your surgeon who'd be best able to give you a sense of how your healing is progressing.

6 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
It is very important to remember that your only 6 weeks post-op after a Rhinoplasty, a procedure which is known to produce swelling which lasts 6 months to a year. I think that your result looks quite good for this early phase of healing and will continue to improve.

Angelina Ballerina travels to Dubai in 2009
Angelina Ballerina travels to Dubai in 2009
Under the patronage of The Dubai Culture & Art Authority, one of the shows of Angelina Ballerina will be open to children with special needs.
This tour is organised by Art For All and the shows will take place in Dubai at DUCTAC –Mall of the Emirates between March 27 and 30, 2009.
There will be few shows dedicated to the schools.
Saeed Al Nabouda, Chief Projects & Events Officer in the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, said: "It has been the overall driving philosophy of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority to not only consolidate Dubai as the capital of excellence in arts and culture, but also to enhance the quality of life in our region.
"By supporting the premiere of such an outstanding theatrical production in the region, we are sure that not only children – and especially children with special needs, but all who are fortunate to witness the performance of Angelina Ballerina, will come away with a sense of wonder that will live with them as a joyous memory for years to come."
"It's enough to tickle almost anyone's inner child." The Times
This tour follows a hugely successful tour to Australia in January which saw Angelina Ballerina break Melbourne theatre ticket sales. English National Ballet has had an overwhelmingly positive audience response to Angelina's Star Performance including:
"We had a fantastic evening. It was a wonderful and fun ballet.
My daughter loved it."
"My youngest repeatedly said on the way home that it's the best thing she's ever seen. When she woke up this morning she asked if we could go again tonight!"
Helen Craig and Katharine Holabird, the creators of the Angelina Ballerina character and books, said;
"We attended Angelina's Star Performance several times, and thought it was absolutely beautiful and wonderfully funny. This sparkling and original ballet is a magical theatrical experience for young and old alike."
With a cast of English National Ballet's dancers, Angelina's Star Performance offers a unique introduction for boys and girls aged 3+ years to experience their first live ballet. Angelina's Star Performance is based upon author Katharine Holabird's and illustrator Helen Craig's successful and timeless book Angelina at the Palace which follows Angelina as she prepares to stage her own performance of The Sleeping Beauty, at the request of the Queen in her splendid palace. She even has a real life Princess, Princess Valentine, to star alongside her in the show. It's Angelina's biggest challenge yet… will she manage to pull it off? Angelina's Star Performance is choreographed by Antony Dowson, with costumes by Wizzy Shawyer based on the original Angelina Ballerina drawings and set designs from Al Riches.
Angelina's Star Performance runs for 1 hour and 20 minutes including a 20
minute interval.

Gators find replacements for two assistants in D.J. Durkin and Stan Drayton
Apparently Urban Meyer hasn't completely stepped away from his job just yet.
Along with interim head coach Steve Addazio, Meyer announced Tuesday afternoon that former UF running backs coach Stan Drayton is returning to the program and the Gators have also hired one of the fastest rising assistant coaches in D.J. Durkin.
"Coach Addazio and I worked together on this and are excited to have D.J. and Stan join our coaching staff," Meyer said in a statement. "Both guys are familiar with the plan we have for our program, our coaches and our student-athletes. It will be a smooth transition and they both bring a high level of expertise to the table and have proven to be good recruiters."
Durkin will coach linebackers/special teams, while Drayton will serve as running backs coach.
Durkin recently completed his third season at Stanford University, where he worked with the defensive ends and coordinated the special teams units, but he has ties to both Bowling Green and Notre Dame - two of Meyer's stops before arriving at Florida.
Durkin, 31, joined the Stanford staff after two seasons on the coaching staff at Bowling Green, his alma mater, where he worked with the defensive ends in 2005 before taking over responsibilities with the linebackers and special teams in '06. Following a two-year stay at Bowling Green, Durkin moved onto Notre Dame, where assisted the Irish staff in all defensive aspects with concentrated duties on the defensive ends. He worked closely with the school's all-time sack leader, Justin Tuck, in 2004.
Drayton, 38, was a member of the Gators' staff from 200 to 2007. He rejoins the Florida staff after a stint at Tennessee (2008), then coaching the running backs at Syracuse this past season. He has also worked in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.
Drayton replaces RB coach Kenny Carter will be joining former UF defensive coordinator Charlie Strong at Louisville. Known for being an elite recruiter, Drayton was named one of the nation's top-25 recruiters in 2007 following his involvement with Florida's No. 1-rated recruiting class.

Can the government sue or be sued?
Article 300 lays down that the Government of India, or of the State, ay sue or be sued by the name of the Union of India or of the State respectively. The Centre or a State can thus be sued as a juristic personality.
As regards the extent of government liability, the Article declares that the Government of India, or of a State, may be sued "in relation to their respective affairs in the like cases as the Dominion of India and the corresponding Provinces, or the corresponding Indian States might have sued or been sued", if the Constitution had not been enacted.

Lovers of the arts are certainly spoilt for choice in London, with so many world-class galleries and exhibition centres to be found throughout the city, each offering some truly fantastic displays by the world's greatest painters, sculptors, photographers and more.
One person who needs no introduction is David Bailey, with the British photographer generally considered to be among the greatest artists ever in his field, and having received the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship in recognition for his outstanding work.
Whether you're familiar with his greatest pieces or have never come across his creative genius before, now is a fantastic time to head to the National Portrait Gallery, where an exhibition dedicated to his life's work is currently on show.
Entitled Bailey's Stardust, the display features around 250 of the photographer's most striking images – personally selected by the man himself – depicting a range of unforgettable subjects and themes.
The photographs on show vary from his portraits of celebrities and musicians – including the likes of the Rolling Stones and Kate Moss – to his stunning pictures of indigenous tribesmen in the far-flung corners of the world.
Rooms are arranged thematically, with many being dedicated to the various countries and cities in which Bailey has worked – including the likes of Papua New Guinea, Delhi, Australia, east Africa and of course the East End of London.
Running until June 1st, this incredible exhibition is one that all photography enthusiasts will certainly want to see, and ranks among the most prestigious and high-quality collections ever to have been hosted at the National Portrait Gallery – or anywhere else for that matter.
Located just off Trafalgar Square on Charing Cross Road, the gallery can be accessed from several tube stations, including Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square.

He is 22 years and two hip replacements from his final appearance as an NFL referee — the 1991 AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Raiders — but Jim Tunney sounds as enthusiastic now as a rookie who just heard the coach call his number.
Indeed, that's pretty much what happened recently to the 84-year-old Pebble Beach resident, who is returning to active duty this season as one of the league's nine "observers" — retired NFL refs who attend games and evaluate officiating crews every week of the season.
"When they called and asked, I immediately said, 'Yeah, I'd like that,'" said Tunney, who during a 31-year NFL career was on the field for many games that became famous. "My job will be to go to the game with the officiating crew, but I won't be on the field," he said. "I'll sit in the press box, with a TV monitor and a hotline phone to (the league office) in New York. I'll watch the game, and I'll record every play — down, distance, yard line, any call that was made by the officiating crew, whether the call was right or wrong, and whether a penalty was accepted or declined."
Tunney's report (and reports filed by observers at every other NFL game) will be reviewed by the league, along with videotape of the game, with a goal of improving and refining the overall level of officiating.
"I've stayed involved with the league, writing rule changes every year, and observers are not a new thing in the NFL, but it's a new job for me," he said. "I feel like it's a great opportunity to get involved with the game anymore, and the nice part is I won't have to run up and down the field chasing somebody like Joe Montana around anymore."
He expects to be assigned mostly to games in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Phoenix, but says he has offered to go anywhere the league chooses to send him.
Tunney has chased the best. His NFL career began in the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1960, when he worked a game between the Chicago Bears (coached by George Halas) and the Los Angeles Rams.
"Meeting George Halas was like meeting Thomas Edison. I mean, this was the guy who literally invented professional football," said Tunney, who remembers his first conversation with the legendary coach.
"I said, 'Mr. Halas, I need your captain,' and he said, 'Tunney ... Tunney ... Occidental College?' I said, 'Yes sir,' and he said, 'Athlete of the Year?' And I said, 'Yes sir.'"
"I was nobody, a rookie official, and George Halas knew who I was."
Ice Bowl
Tunney was an alternate referee at the 1967 NFL Championship Game (Dallas at Green Bay) known as "The Ice Bowl" because the temperature at kickoff was 15 degrees below zero.
"We flew in the day before and everything was fine. The moon was out. It was cold, but not miserable. And then, that night, it began to snow and the temperature started to drop," he remembered. "We went downtown at 8 a.m. on Sunday and banged on the door of the Army-Navy Store, where, because it was Dec. 31, a guy was doing inventory. He said, 'We're closed,' but we talked our way in, explaining that we were the officials for the game and needed warm clothes."
Tunney says he was lucky that day to be merely the backup referee because he was able to sneak over to the heater on Green Bay's bench once in a while.
"Two of our officials had their whistles freeze to their lips during the game," he recounted. "Every time they pulled the whistle out of their mouths, some skin came with it."
Other big games in Tunney's career:
· "The Kick" (Nov. 8, 1970), when New Orleans' Tom Dempsey beat Detroit with a 63-yard field goal, the longest in league history;
· "The Catch" (Jan. 10, 1982), when San Francisco's Dwight Clark used a full-body stretch to snag Montana's NFL Championship Game-winning pass in the back of the end zone against Dallas;
· "The Fog Bowl" (Dec. 31,1988), during which a soupy fog reduced visibility to 15 yards during an Eagles-Bears game at Chicago's Soldier Field.
His on-field career included a record 29 postseason games, 10 championship games, four Super Bowls, and 25 Monday Night Football games — a resume that earned him the nickname, "The Dean of NFL Officials."
Tunney reminiscences fondly about legends from his officiating days — Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Paul Hornung, Montana, Walter Payton — and laughs when he recalls his on-field relationships with legendary coaches.
"Don Shula was pretty great at chewing out an official," he said. "Tom Landry could get mad, too, but what I liked about Tom was he moved on as soon as the next play began. Chuck Knox, Hank Stram and Halas ... those guys would scream at you about the same play for a whole quarter."
Tunney said the game has changed enormously during his 21-year absence, with players growing much bigger, stronger and faster. Increased physicality has necessitated rule changes for the sake of safety, he said.
"In 1960, when I started, this was the rulebook," he said, holding a pamphlet about size of a DMV driver's manual. He then held up a 2013 rulebook, more than an inch thick. "Now, it looks like this."
Rules that apply to the use of instant replay are the most-significant addition, he said. On-field positioning and mechanics, with a couple of exceptions, remain basically the same for officiating crews as they were two decades ago. And Tunney said on-field officials are appreciative of the observers, welcoming postgame critiques.
"The observers have a good relationship with the on-field officials because our philosophy is, 'How can we make you guys better?'" he said. "When you approach it like that, you're on their team. NFL officials are a family, and I'm ready to get back into the family."

Black pallbearers routinely bear the caskets of ex-presidents, mining magnates and bankers to their tombs in Lima. The peculiar tradition exists neither in provincial Peruvian cities nor in other Latin American countries with significant black populations such as Brazil, Panama and Colombia.
A historian of Peru's slave trade, Maribel Arrelucea, said that "to have one's body carried by a black is understood by many to be a symbol of prestige, just as it was in the colonial era when the aristocrats of Lima went to church accompanied by a slave." Read the full story.

If you are one of the seven million Canadians who live along Canada's coastline you already know the majesty of our great oceans. Or if you are from another part of Canada you may have visited the coast and experienced the wonder of Canada's spectacular marine life first-hand.
And spectacular it is!
Canada is home to the world's longest coastline: three oceans and a sea of arctic ice. Forty per cent of Canada's jurisdictional area is ocean. In combination, the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Ocean environments within Canada's exclusive economic zone support some of the most abundant and diverse webs of marine life on earth. Thousands of species of fish and invertebrates and hundreds of marine birds and mammals live throughout Canada's ocean environments.
For decades Canada's oceans have provided resources that form the base of cultural, economic and recreational opportunities for many Canadians. Ocean-related activity accounts for more than $23 billion annually in the Canadian economy.
But all is not well in Canada's oceans. The pressure on our ocean resources continues to grow as the demand for shipping, fishing and tourism activities continues to grow. From sea to sea to sea, the effects of industrial fishing, pollution, and climate change combine to pose a constantly increasing threat to coastal and marine environments and wildlife.
In the last century we have seen the demise Atlantic Cod on the east coast and the loss of basking sharks and many salmon stocks on the Pacific Coast. Many species, like pacific rockfish and many marine bird populations are at low abundance levels compared to historic numbers.
Changes in the environment under the surface of the sea are not easy to see, but they are taking place, and the quality of our coastal and marine environments is eroding. The effect of global warming and carbon loading in our oceans is resulting in acidification of many ocean environments and the development of anoxic dead zones. And as the Canadian population and economy grows there are increasing concentrations of toxic pollution showing up in our marine environments.
Maintaining our ocean heritage in a healthy form requires a precautionary and strategic conservation planning approach. Read more about Canada's marine heritage.

St Joseph's Mission, Daly River opened at New Uniya in 1891. Run by Jesuit missionaries, it replaced the Queen of the Holy Rosary Mission. Although missionaries set up a school for children, no dormitories were built. The mission was forced to close in 1899 due to severe flooding.
St Joseph's Mission, Daly River was opened at a site known as New Uniya by Jesuit missionaries in 1891. It replaced the Queen of the Holy Rosary Mission. A land grant to the mission from the South Australian government included 300 acres of farming land about 60 miles from the mouth of the river.
In an article published in 1892, one of the missionaries, Father Strehle, stated that:
'The blacks leave their children with us readily to educate, but our funds will not allow us to support more than 15 or 20.'
It appears that no dormitory facilities were built as the missionaries complained that parents often took their children into the bush, away from missionary influence.
As well as opening a school for the children, missionaries aimed to train older Aboriginal people in the area in farming. They encouraged young people to marry and take up fenced portions of land for growing rice, maize, corn and sweet potatoes.
These plans were not fully realised because the mission was forced to close in 1899 after buildings and farmland were destroyed by flooding.

New Super Mario Bros Wii
One of the "big" news stories over the past few weeks has been how and where Nintendo's recent
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
is climbing through the sales chart. You have probably seen the story everywhere: the game hit the 10 million mark worldwide and has surpassed Super Mario Galaxy's sales. Ok, that's nice... but so what. I think that there is more to the story about the games success than most people are acknowledging...
In the gaming world, the benchmark of sales is usually considered 1 million sold. This is the mark where most games qualify to get moves to best seller and "hit" status and generally where a game gets called a "huge success". having that thought in my mind, I decided to look at how well Mario has faired with his various games and hitting that 1 million mark... and was blown away.
According to the sales numbers listed on VGChartz.com, which may debated on occasion, Nintendo's pudgy plumber has had 64 games surpass that major benchmark. that is SIXTY FOUR separate games, all of which have sold more than 1 million copies worldwide... not including the Smash Bros. games. If you add those in, there are 3 more titles for the list. Does anyone else find this astounding? Not only are their 64
67 games on that list, but the total worldwide sales for all of those titles is over 400 million.! Its there anything that Mario touches that doesn't turn to gold?

The Audio Technica U841A is a wide-range condenser microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It is designed for surface mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications.The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power or a 1.5V AA battery for operation. A battery need not be in place for phantom power operation. The microphone is equipped with UniGuard RFI-shielding technology, which offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). The microphone includes a 7.6 m (25') permanently attached miniature cable. Its free end connects to the provided AT8531 power module via a special TA3F type connector to optimize RFI immunity. The output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM type connector. A 3-position switch in the power module permits choice of off, on/flat response or on, low-roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep filter). The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone comes equipped with a power module, a battery and a soft protective pouch. The microphone's heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicon foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone. The microphone features a low-reflectance black finish.
Features: Small-diameter UniPoint omnidirectional capsule near boundary eliminates phase distortion and delivers clear, high-output performance Offers the convenience of battery or phantom power operation Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback UniGuard RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module UniSteep filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicon foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility
Did You Know...... that while boundary mics are widely utilized in conference rooms and training applications many Audio Engineers use them as drum recording mics. It's true! Musicians and Audio Engineers can benefit from a pair of boundary mics by placing them on the floor on both sides of a kick drum, on the walls or even inside the kick drum. Have fun experimenting to find your killer drum sound.

Southern Vacation Rentals is excited to offer beautiful vacation rentals in this distinctive beachside village along the Beaches of South Walton.
A premier vacation community on Northwest Florida's gulf coast, between Panama City and Destin, Rosemary Beach embraces 107 acres at the eastern end of Scenic Highway 30A.
Founded on the principles of New Urbanism and Traditional Neighborhood Development, Rosemary Beach "brings back the notions of community, neighborhood and convenience," exuding a welcoming, laid back atmosphere for visitors and residents. Its distinctive architecture sets it apart in an already unique setting along Florida's Panhandle and has graced the covers of many magazines over the years since its inception. In that beginning, much thought went into the planning and design of the area which characterizes the walk-able, classic beach town where everything you could desire on your beach vacation is at your fingertips. Walk to the town center for an early morning coffee. Spend the afternoon shopping or dining at a favorite restaurant, only a 5 minute walk away. Or, take advantage of the wonderful amenities accessible through the network of pedestrian footpaths, boardwalks and secret pathways.

CHARITY champions raised more than £25,000 for good causes after taking part in the traditional Boxing Day Dip at Seaton Carew.
Event organisers Hartlepool Round Table announced the fantastic amount that will help dozens of town charities.
Around 300 peopel blew away the Christmas cobwebs by dashing into the freexing cold sea on Boxing Day.
They were cheered on by thousands of spectators and organisers say the event wqas another huge success.
The round table has spent the last few weeks collecting all the inrformation and totals as sponsorship money is collected.
Hartlepool Round Table raised around £2,000 for its own charitable causes from the sale of wristbans and registration fees and cash collections on the day from supporters.
Chairman Kevin Cox said: "All in akll it was a really good event. As a table we raised around £2,000.
"Based on what we know from individuals who ttok part it looks like it is going to be at least £25,000.
"It was good to see so many peolpe there. There was about 3,000 spectators despite it being a frosty mroning."
More than £3,000 of the total was raised by 10-year-old Hartlepool youngster Jasmin Mitchell for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Jasmin was presented with a trophy for her efforts by the round table atthe hweekend as reported in yesterday's Mail.
Kevin added they are thinking of reintroducing an awards night for the most outstanding dippers that the previous dip organisers The Hartlepool Lions Club held.
"It would help to honour people and raise the profile of the dip," added Kevin, who raised £600 himself on the day.
"It could also help to get people competing to raise money."

It's easier to get out of United States Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum -- ADX, as the maximum-security prison in Florence is known -- than it is to get inside.
If you're a publication, at least.
As recently as this summer, Westword was banned in accordance with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons' Program Statement 5266.09, Incoming Publications, which states that "the Warden may reject a publication if it is determined detrimental to the security, good order, or discipline of the institution or if it may facilitate criminal activity." In this case, the warden was worried about a May 23 story by Alan Prendergast, which detailed how Timothy Stoakes, a 33-year-old convict in the Colorado Department of Corrections system with a history of theft, forgery and other nonviolent crime, wanted to invoke his "right to euthanasia."
You might think a taxpayer-dollar-saving, self-imposed death penalty for prisoners would be the sort of thing the penal industry would want to encourage -- but you'd be wrong. Michael Pugh, then warden of ADX, rejected that issue of Westword -- just as he's rejected copies of not just this Denver weekly, but the Christian Science Monitor, the New Yorker and USA Today. In fact, any story about an inmate is often enough to get a publication banned, in recognition of the warden's concern that it contains "third party inmate to inmate correspondence."
Prison-break instructions in the cartoon on page 32 of the New Yorker!
But in the meantime, one of ADX's most notorious inmates -- and that's saying something of a place that once housed Tim McVeigh and Ramzi Yousef, the 1993 World Trade Center bomber, concurrently -- had no problem getting his own manuscript out of prison and into print. Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, whose 35,000-word manifesto published in the New York Times and the Washington Post back in 1995 was a key piece of evidence in solving the crimes and putting a stop to his seventeen-year bombing career, this spring sent a handwritten missive to John Zerzan, one of the editors of Green Anarchy, an environmental newsletter based in Eugene, Oregon.
Zerzan had visited Kaczynski in jail in Sacramento -- prior to the deal that sent the bomber to ADX -- and had been corresponding with him since then. So he wasn't particularly surprised when he received the manuscript, and while he didn't particularly agree with the content of "Hit Where It Hurts," either, he published it in the spring/summer issue of the newsletter.
"The purpose of this article," Kaczynski writes, "is to point out a very simple principle of human conflict, a principle that opponents of the techno-industrial system seem to be overlooking. The principle is that in any form of conflict, if you want to win, you must hit your adversary where it hurts....
"I have to explain that when I talk about 'hitting where it hurts,' I am not necessarily referring to physical blows or to any other form of physical violence. For example, in oral debate, 'hitting where it hurts' would mean making the arguments to which your opponent's position is most vulnerable. In a presidential election, 'hitting where it hurts' would mean winning from your opponent the states that have the most electoral votes. Still, in discussing this principle, I will use the analogy of physical combat, because it is vivid and clear."
Particularly to those 23 victims who survived being on the receiving end of a Unabomber package. (Three died in the blasts.)
Although Zerzan has yet to hear any reviews from the Bureau of Prisons -- or from Kaczynski himself -- following the publication of the Unabomber's latest screed, the national media has been filling him in. The Washington Post, for example, told him that under BP rules, "an inmate currently confined in an institution may not be employed or act as a reporter or publish under a byline." Which means the bureaucrats could be going after Kaczynski.
"But that talks about a professional journalist," Zerzan says, pointing out that the prisoner's missive was more like a letter to the editor -- a very long letter to the editor. "He couldn't make any money."
Fox News followed with an interview in which Zerzan was drafted to speak for the Green Anarchy group, which focuses on prison support work as well as environmental causes. "How can you publish this terrorist?" the reporter asked Zerzan. "We had two different rejoinders, but he didn't let us give either," Zerzan remembers. "The mainstream media disallows open information."
The same issue of Green Anarchy -- "free to prisoners!" (and also to anyone who logs on to www.greenanarchy.com) -- that leads off with Kaczynski's piece features another article of interest to Coloradans, both in and out of prison. "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens" is excerpted from an essay by University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill. "Looking back," Churchill writes, "it will seem to future generations inexplicable why Americans were unable on their own, and in time to save themselves, to accept a rule of nature so basic that it could be mouthed by an actor, Lawrence Fishburn [sic], in a movie, The Cotton Club. 'You've got to learn,' the line went, 'that when you push people around, some people push back.' As they should. As they must. And as they undoubtedly will. There is justice in such symmetry."
There's also a reminder: Only six weeks until Columbus Day. (Churchill has also been active in the Denver/Boulder chapter of the Colorado American Indian Movement.) "Oh, yes," says Zerzan, when the Colorado connection is pointed out. "That anti-Columbus Day thing.... It's going to be big this year."
Also big, at least this summer in Clearwater Junction, Montana (just down the road from Lincoln, the town where Kaczynski had holed up) is an official Unabomber bank. Drop a quarter in, and the structure blows up.
We're ready for our close-up, Mr. Webb: The gig seemed too good to be true -- especially to people already working with Denver's Office of Television and Internet Services at Channel 8. This spring, despite a citywide hiring freeze, OTIS was able to add an eighteen-month "transition position" and hire Dreux DeMack to fill it.
Until Friday, August 16, that is, when DeMack -- who'd moved out here for the job -- was let go. "I wasn't given a reason why, wasn't told that I was fired or laid off or whatever," he remembers. "I felt it was because of budget concerns."
Concerns that grew even larger when members of Denver City Council realized that DeMack's primary responsibility was producing an hour-long documentary on Denver since 1990 -- a time span that happens to coincide with Mayor Wellington Webb's three terms in office. First working title: Denver, a World-Class City. First rumored budget: $200,000.
Although last week councilmembers were acting shocked -- shocked! -- to learn of DeMack's duties, many of them had already been interviewed by the producer, and they'd had to approve his position this spring, when the documentary work was packaged into an eighteen-month deal that included heading up coverage of the 2003 elections for Channel 8 ("The Big Cheese," June 6). "This job was created above and beyond the existing 2002 budget," DeMack says. "It used supplemental funds."
But the first priority was the documentary, picking up where an earlier film, the one-hour Imagine a Great City, which took Denver from its founding in 1859 through the end of the '80s, left off. DeMack spent much of the past four months researching history and conducting interviews -- "some good interviews, some really boring interviews," and even interviews with some of the councilmembers who now are playing dumb (typecasting).
The best interview was with former mayor Federico Peña, "who was incredible," DeMack says. "He was so vocal, and he didn't hide anything; he didn't hold anything back. I'll regret not being able to link the Peña administration to the '90s prosperity." Although DeMack hadn't gotten around to interviewing Webb, a former city manager provided his least interesting interview, "through no fault of his/her own," says DeMack. "There were obvious slants toward wanting to make it a profile of a lot of things Webb did during his administration," he acknowledges. "You face those kind of challenges in a political position."
But those challenges are easy compared to battling budget cuts. "I felt that once the 2003 part of my job kicked in, there were going to be some eliminations," DeMack says. Instead, the documentary -- now known as The Mayor's Documentary, with a budget pegged at $87,300 -- has been dropped...along with DeMack.
DeMack isn't giving up on Denver, though.
"We moved from Oklahoma in April and bought a house -- not a cheap house," he says. "It's been our goal for a long time to live here. We don't intend to leave. The glory of this job is that in five months, I met a lot of people...a lot of people who are advocates in my post-8/16 era.
"I'm a survivor," he adds. "Television is a very volatile business, but it's one I chose almost thirty years ago."
He pauses, then says, "I don't want to burn any bridges...but a few I want to tear down."
Unless someone resurrects this one -- and already rumors are flying that OTIS has the funds to finish the documentary -- Webb is 0 for 2 on his movie career.
Back in the early '90s, when Webb wrested the mayor's chair from odds-on favorite Norm Early, former Early campaign advisor Yaphet Kotto (who'd been living in Conifer during the 1991 Early/Webb match-up) decided he wanted to make a movie on the race, called War of the City.
And, hey, since this was Hollywood, not a documentary, Kotto was willing to switch sides and star as "Clarence Chancellor," a figure modeled after former nemesis Webb.
Ready for our close-up, part two: The Webb documentary may be a goner, but OTIS has a hit on its hands with Johns TV, the public-access show busting folks who've been convicted of soliciting prostitutes. No surprise that Johns TV producer David DiManna would know how to create a crowd-pleaser: He played a critical role in the success of Flashdance.
Welder #2, to be exact.
"It was mere seconds, but a dynamic mere seconds," DiManna remembers. Although his role called for no dancing, he did get to utter the immortal words "See you later, Alex. Don't get dirty" to star Jennifer Beals.
"And I have the last joke," he says. "I still get paid every time Columbia Pictures makes a deal."

Peak performance: U.S. Senate candidate Tom Strickland has been dogged by supporters of his opponent, incumbent Wayne Allard -- and some even beat him to the top of the Fourteener the Democrat was climbing for this past Saturday's photo op. "While we were celebrating Colo-rado's special places, Allard is playing petty and negative politics," says Strickland spokeswoman Chris Watney.
But this week, Strickland finally had his campaign to himself -- even if he had to leave Colo-rado to accomplish it. On Tuesday, he headed to Jackson Hole and a fundraiser at the home of former Denverites John and Nancy Carney. No, Allard's folks weren't waiting for him on the top of Grand Teton.

FRIDAY, May 21 (HealthDay News) -- Workers participating in a large employee health program experienced improvements in cardiovascular disease risk factors, which resulted in lower cardiovascular-related medical and hospital costs in relation to total medical costs, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Quality of Care and Outcomes Research in Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke 2010 Scientific Sessions, held May 19-21 in Washington, D.C.
Kenneth Glover, M.S., of CSX Transportation in Jacksonville, Fla., and colleagues analyzed 2006-2008 data on 5,768 participants in an employee health promotion program developed by CSX Transportation to address cardiovascular disease. The program included biometric screenings, nutrition and exercise coaching, and on-site fitness centers.
The researchers found that the mean total cholesterol in employees with dyslipidemia declined from 196.4 to 185.2 mg/dL, HDL increased from 38.7 to 42.1 mg/dL, the total cholesterol/HDL ratio decreased from 5.5 to 4.9, and employees reaching LDL goals increased from 48 percent to 62.4 percent. In employees with hypertension, mean blood pressure decreased from 137.2/86.1 to 125.4/80.2 mm Hg, and achievement of blood pressure goals rose from 42.5 percent to 67.4 percent. The percentage of employees with cardiovascular-related medical claims declined from 56.6 percent to 48.3 percent, and the percentage of employees with cardiovascular-related hospital claims declined from 6 percent to 4.3 percent. Cardiovascular-related hospital claims declined from 2.5 percent to 1.7 percent.
"As a result of the program, cardiovascular-related medical and hospital costs both declined significantly relative to total medical costs," the authors conclude.
One study author is an employee of Pfizer.

Lauryn Hill pleads guilty for failure to file tax returns
Forget all about how the Affordable Care Act is going to affect the IRS, because they just wrung a guilty plea out of Lauryn Hill for failure to file tax returns. Now Wesley Snipes will have another celeb to talk things over with in the big house.
Hill admitted intentionally failing to file tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007, a stretch that saw her earning more than $1.8 million, TMZ reports. She was released on $150,000 bail, which she should have, since she apparently didn't pay any taxes for three years.
She now faces up to three years in prison and $75,000 in fines, and will be sentenced in November. That should give her plenty of time to make a run for it, turning her from former Fugee into current Fugee.

K-5ii does Kumbh Mela - DA40 gets fixed in India - DA 15 as low light lens !?
2 days before I had to leave Kolkata to face the naked sadhus and their 70 million devotees my DA 40 broke into 2 pieces while in my camera bag! It had started not focusing consistently a little earlier. It wasn't dropped.
I thought, and the DA 40 was my low light lens! I know how some of you (maybe all of you) will snigger at that admission. Nonetheless, it is sharp across the frame at f2.8. Now, I was looking at the DA 21 f3.2 and not sharp across the frame as my low light lens for events that start at 4AM like the naked sadhu procession seen above.
3 points about this:
:: 1. First of all, I did manage to use the DA 21 both as a portrait lens and to shoot stoned and naked sadhus in action at 4AM (as seen above) -- although I did have to find the still points of the melee.
:: 2. I thought why not just use the DA 15 f4.0 as my low light lens. And that worked amazingly well. Here is a shot I took just before the dawn (how I love to use the DA 15 when I'm in the middle of a crowd):
:: 3. When I was shopping for a new SD card in Kolkata the day before I had to leave for the Mela I saw a repair shop and for some crazy reason I asked them if they could fix my DA 40. One of the screws was missing and they believed a seal was missing. I didn't think I could have lost a seal as it fell apart in my bag. They said they could fix it. I said I need it by noon tomorrow (it was 3PM) they said, "No problem." And they fixed it, sort of. Sometimes the lens gets stuck and I have to twist the focus wheel. Then it works:
So, my Pentax came through. See the results all this week on my photo blog.
See Kumbh Mela, the mini-series, each morning of this last week of February on my photo blog. Kumbh Mela attracts 70 million people every 12 years. It is the most important event on the Hindu calendar and the world's largest human gathering. I slept the night before each of the 2 largest bathing days in front of the tents of naked sadhus and was able to photograph the pre-dawn, pre-procession rally you see images from above and much else.
Others must have been published their photos here already -- mine took this long because I spent 2 weeks at the Mela I've been polishing and organizing since then my anecdotes as well as my photos. This is a look at the spiritual as well as the photographic. Share the adventure, visit:

2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid Sedan - Consumer Review
23 of 23 people found this review helpful
Solid Value
By rmiddlemas on
Vehicle2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
ReviewMy wife drives this car mainly around town. She has a very heavy foot...on the gas, off the gas. Averaging 32 mpg after 28,000 miles. When I drive it on trips, I get much better mileage, over 40mp. Even though its over 3 years old, it feels, looks and drives like new. g.
I'm pretty tall and large (6'2", 240 lbs), but this car fits me extremely well (no sunroof, thankfully).
Electronic steering assist does not give great feedback, but it surprisingly makes the front wheel drive feel very solid and absolutely neutral...no FWD steering torque. Engines' integration is absolutely flawless and the transmission is seamless.
My only issue is the ride...its pretty taught...not Mercedes taught, but harsher than that. I attribute it to the high air pressures that the tires carry, and which are monitored by the air pressure monitoring devices. I may disable them and drive the tires with a few less pounds.
This is a very competent, solid car and is a screaming value. Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

We have now put 5000 miles on the Camry Hybrid, and are still impressed to the extent that we are considering purchasing another. This weekend drove the 2014 Mazda 6 (2.5 litre engine) and the Honda Accord with the 4 cylinder engine. Without a doubt, the Camry out-performs both with more power, more immediately applied. All for about the same price, Camry is a top pick.Report it

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - October 25, 2011) -
Kevin Davidson, Chief Executive Officer of BioDrain, commented on the recent accomplishments, stating, "Our latest installation is yet another significant step for BioDrain Medical as it opens the door to a number of opportunities within Florida and other markets. This surgery center is part of a much larger group of surgery centers that have demonstrated a shared commitment to promoting safety and efficiency in the surgical environment. We believe once this surgical group recognizes how effectively our system meets their needs while reducing operational costs, we will access further opportunities to install systems throughout their additional surgery centers."
Davidson continued, "While we remain committed to demonstrating the value of our automated surgical fluid disposal system to surgical centers across the country and increasing our sales, we continuously work to enhance our products and the technologies making the STREAMWAY system unique within our market space. To this end, we are pleased to receive another Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a Divisional Patent which further strengthens our intellectual property portfolio. Our patented technologies will lead to new opportunities for growth in the future."
About BioDrain Medical, Inc.
BioDrain Medical, Inc. has a fully automated, patented, FDA-cleared surgical fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates operating room workers' exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the surgical environment. Today's manual surgical fluid handling methods of hand-carrying filled surgical fluid canisters and emptying these canisters is an exposure risk and an antiquated approach to the handling of surgical fluid waste. BioDrain's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of surgical fluids resulting in: 1) reducing overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improving the Occupational State and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory compliance, and 3) improving the efficiency of the operating room (and thereby making surgeries more profitable).
BioDrain's STREAMWAY System is eco-friendly as it contributes to cleaning up the environment. Currently, approximately 50 million bloody, potentially disease-infected canisters go to landfills annually in the United States. These tainted canisters can remain in landfills for years to come. With the installation of BioDrain's STREAMWAY System, the number of canisters can be significantly reduced. BioDrain Medical, Inc. makes the operating room and our environment safer, cleaner, and better. BioDrain products are currently being represented by independent professional sales representatives that cater to the needs of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers across the country.

Blessing for North Theatre in Danville
Danville, VA - After being shut down for nearly two years, the historic North Theatre in Danville is finally reopening Wednesday night.
New owner magician Wayne Alan held a blessing at the theatre Tuesday to commemorate the opening. He bought the theatre in late November, the same month the facade of an adjoining building collapsed.
Alan said he spent a lot of time researching the theatre and the new shows couldn't be starting at a better time.
"Our grand re-opening on Saturday, August 25, is, to the day, the 65th anniversary of the actual opening of the theatre in 1947," he said.
If you're interested in tickets for Wednesday night's preview show, you can get them here.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Vanderbilt's national championship in baseball has raised the bar on campus. The Commodores have a new football coach and setting their sights higher on the gridiron as well.
Linebacker Kyle Woestmann says the football team watched the Commodores clinch the College World Series in June and believes it's time to win their own title starting with winning the Southeastern Conference.
Woestmann says the SEC crown usually gives a team a shot at a national title. The linebacker says the key is focusing on one SEC game at a time and see where they stand at season's end.
First-year coach Derek Mason also believes in dreaming big. He has talked about winning the SEC – an idea previously laughable for a program that has never won 10 games in a single season.

Description of Research ExpertiseI am an established investigator with a career long commitment to translational musculoskeletal research and in particular research focused on cartilage and chondrocyte biology, extracellular matrix and research related to osteoarthritis. Fundamentally, my research addresses the translational area of degenerative joint diseases and focuses on extracellular matrix, cartilage cell biology, cartilage tissue engineering, and cartilage response to injury. A graduate of McGill University under the mentorship of Professor A. Robin Poole formed a solid basis for a career in studying cartilage and joint-related diseases. I also trained in the labs of recognized leaders in matrix biology (Professors R Iozzo and S Jimenez at Jefferson Medical College) and have continued to work in the area of cartilage biology for more than 25 years. Significant accomplishments include Dodge and Poole being among the first to describe a new approach to use antibodies to degrade fragments of extracellular matrix as biomarkers and to identify arthritic diseases and tissue turnover; an area of study and much interest still today. Additionally, Dodge and Iozzo were the first to characterize a novel and important heparan sulfate proteoglycan, perlecan and were the team that originally identified and characterized the human perlecan gene. This molecule has gone on to be identified as critical to many fundamental processes such as skeletal development, angiogenesis, growth factor deliver, and cartilage homeostasis.
More recently, with a focus on cartilage tissue structure and function paradigms, my work has concentrated on developing innovative technologies of tissue engineering and phenotypically correct models of cartilage-like functional units. My laboratory has been a forerunner in the area of scaffold-free tissue engineering cartilage and recently published a study that clearly demonstrated our novel scaffold-less model can generate functionally relevant cartilage tissue analogs (Mohanraj B et al., J Biomechanics 2014). We have focused over the past several years on developing this platform as a generator of cartilage surrogates which also included novel approaches to grow these tissue surrogates in a pressurized bioreactor delivering a physiologically relevant load. I have combined the experiences of cartilage cell biology and tissue engineering and designed a bioreactor that can deliver physiologically relevant loads and mimic pathological stress or injury on growing cartilage analogs generated from both chondrocytes and stem cells. This provides a physiological-relevant platform to explore the mechanisms of various cell functions and how to control them.
My current goals important to traumatic injuries to cartilage, (i.e., PTOA) which is to identify molecules involved in chondroctye's early response to compressive injury and identify in a high throughput manner, therapeutics targets. A significant advance in the potential to discover therapeutics in this clinical area has been achieved by our success in creating a PTOA injury model platform that was designed to rapidly assess small molecules and drug's effects on cell after a compressive injury (B Mohanraj et al., OA & Cart 2014).
Complementing molecular and cell biology expertise, my lab has extensive experience incorporating novel imaging approaches into our research including FT-IRIS, MRI, and CT which has direct implications when considering assessing later engineered materials in vivo. We also made a significant advance in the area of imaging as a biomarker, with a study demonstrating in an animal model the use of MRI as a biomarker for early detection of cartilage changes and its ability to detect the progressive damage that occurs over time (Fenty M et al., J Mag Res Imaging 2012). As demonstrated here, I have a broad range of translational orthopaedic based research interests and nurtured innovative collaborations with biologists, engineers and clinicians which have implications in a variety of clinical areas. A cross-disciplinary approach continues to be the cornerstone of my research agenda.

Overall number of infections up slightly in Dallas County in 2008; other STDs see larger increases
For the first time ever, African-Americans accounted for more than half of new HIV/AIDS cases in Dallas County in 2008, according to previously unreleased statistics obtained by Dallas Voice this week.
The statistics show that the total number of new HIV/AIDS cases countywide remained relatively steady, going from 953 in 2007 to 961 in 2008.
However, the county saw significant increases in other sexually transmitted diseases last year, including a 44 percent spike in the number of new syphilis cases.
Blacks, who make up only about 20 percent of the county's overall population, accounted for 482 of the 961 new HIV/AIDS cases in the county in 2008, or just over 50 percent, according to the data from the Texas Department of State Health Services. In 2007, blacks accounted for 46 percent of new HIV/AIDS cases in Dallas County.
"Every year we say people should be alarmed by the numbers in the African-American community," said Raeline Nobles, executive director of AIDS Arms Inc., a service provider based in South Dallas. "They keep growing and the trend keeps increasing and now they've reached over 50 percent for the first time. This definitely is a major wakeup call for the black community in Dallas and across Texas and frankly across the United States. There is a crisis of HIV in the black community."
Bret Camp, associate executive director at the Resource Center of Dallas, an Oak Lawn-based HIV/AIDS service provider, agreed that the 50 percent figure represents "a significant milestone" — albeit an unsavory one.
"For many years, HIV was considered a gay white man's disease," Camp said. "This shows that that's no longer the only case. I think it shows we need to increase our education in the communities of color."
Dr. John Carlo, medical director for Dallas County Health and Human Services, said although the 50 percent figure is likely to grab headlines, it isn't as meaningful to him as the long-term trend, which shows that blacks in Dallas County are almost three times as likely as whites to contract HIV/AIDS.
"It's a disturbing trend," Carlo said. "It's one that's seen nationwide particularly in urban areas and particularly in the South, and Dallas is fitting into both of those categories. This is a really big concern."
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the No. 1 mode of transmission for HIV/AIDS among blacks, as with other races, is male-to-male sexual contact.
A breakdown of transmission modes according to race for Dallas County in 2008 wasn't available this week, but the statistics show that overall, 534 of the 961 new HIV/AIDS cases last year occurred in the category known as "men who have sex with men."
Nobles and Camp both cited social stigmas related to HIV/AIDS and human sexuality as one of the key factors contributing to the spread of the virus in the black community.
"We still run into significant stigmas and significant barriers to having effective dialogue about HIV prevention and what it's going to take to stop this disease," Nobles said. "The primary barrier is a lack of willingness to talk about sex, which is a primary carrier of HIV."
Nobles also noted that HIV/AIDS has increased dramatically in recent years among black women, many of whom contract the disease from men who have gay sex on "the down low." In 2007, for example, 81 percent of all new HIV/AIDS cases were in males, but 32 percent of new cases among blacks were in females.
"They have a gay lifestyle but in the public they have a wife or a girlfriend, and so the disease is crossing over rather rapidly in this particular population," Nobles said.
"They're really forced into this secretive kind of underground life that is not helpful to them or to anybody that they interact with, and certainly as a health issue not to those who they sexually interact with or share needles with."
Nobles and Camp also said they're concerned about increases in syphilis and chlamydia in Dallas County last year.
The number of new syphilis cases went from 149 in 2007 to 214 in 2008, the statistics show, an increase of 44 percent. The number of new chlamydia cases in Dallas County went from 11,922 in 2007 to 13,495 in 2008, an increase of 13 percent.
Camp said prior to 2008, Dallas County already had one of the highest syphilis rates in the country.
Nobles said increases in other STDs mean people are engaging in risky behavior, which can lead to future spikes in HIV. The STDs themselves also weaken people's immune systems, making them more susceptible to contracting the virus.
AIDS rally Saturday
The Campaign To End AIDS-Dallas will host a rally from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 21 at the Martin Luther King Center, 2922 Martin Luther King Blvd. The rally will demand a comprehensive citywide plan to address the needs of people with HIV/AIDS. For information, call Herbert Hodge at 972-513-7435 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

UFT and NYC DOE: Share the details of the Teacher Evaluation Agreement proposed
A new teacher evaluation needs to be fair and be a source of support to the classroom.
On January 17, 2013 United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew stated "last night our negotiators had reached an agreement — but Mayor Bloomberg blew the deal up in the early hours today." What were the details of that agreement that was supposedly reached?
Mayor Bloomberg responded there "were unreasonable demands being made by the United Federation of Teachers. Among the contentious issues was the union's demands that the evaluation deal sunset in June of 2015." What were the other demands and issues?
Leo Casey, negotiating for the UFT, wrote on edwize.org "During the last week, as the UFT and the DOE met long into the night in an effort to reach agreement on the terms of the MOU, we asked, again and again, more insistently at each turn, to see the DOE's draft of their application. It was not until late into Wednesday evening, barely 24 hours before the deadline, that the DOE finally gave us their draft of the application. When we read the draft, it quickly became apparent why they had resisted sharing it with us. Included in the draft were numerous scoring tables and conversion charts which the UFT was now seeing for the very first time. These tables and charts were very important: embedded in them were fundamental decisions about the shape of the evaluation system." What are the details of the scoring tables and conversion charts?
Why won't the DOE and UFT share the details of what each side is proposing? The teachers, students and parents deserve better than to be kept in the dark.
Show us what's on the table. Show us the MOU.

Heath Police Investigate Possible Child Abduction Attempt
Authorities said an 8-year-old boy said that a man tried to lure him into his car with candy just after 4 p.m. on Thursday.
The boy was getting off the school bus on Custer Road when he said a man offered him candy.
The child refused and ran to his residense. The subject started to follow him. He eventually got into his vehicle and left the area, according to the child.
The man was described as an older white male with a mustache and white hair. He had a green or faded tattoo on his right arm of a snake with possibly a skull above it.
The boy said the car was a red 2-door hatchback with a loud exhaust like a "sporty car."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Heath Police Department at 740-522-2141.
