Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

In exchange, Intel will allow Via to continue making PC chipsets which use Intel's patented technology, say the sources at PC mainboard manufacturers, who do not wish to be named.
Intel and Via offices had not replied to a request for comment by the end of business hours in Taipei. The two companies typically will not comment on negotiations while they are in progress.
Via earns the bulk of its revenue from chipsets, but its CPUs are generating growing profits. The tiny, cheap CPUs have increasingly been adopted by designers of products like handheld PCs, low-cost notebooks, media servers and other applications where low cost, noise, heat and power consumption are strong selling points. Via's CPUs have begun to take orders from Intel in these niche markets. Via has recorded operating profits of $22.5 million in the first nine months of the year, compared to an $18 million loss last year.
Over the past decade, Via has endured an increasingly bruising battle with Intel over allegations that the smaller firm has illegally used Intel's patented technology in its chipsets. The patents cover details such as the timing of electronic signals that the chipset uses to communicate with the CPU. Intel's legal pressure has had a chilling effect on Via's relationships with the mainboard and PC makers who buy its chipsets, and Via is generally believed to have lost substantial chipset market share as a result of this.
In April 2003, Intel granted Via a four-year licence to use the disputed chipset technology. Although that deal apparently expires next year, Via contends that it is actually effective until the end of March 2008, recent press reports say. When the licensing deal does end, however, it appears Via will no longer be able to make the chipsets that generate the larger part of its revenue.
The suggestion that Via stop making CPUs in exchange for permission to make Intel-compatible chipsets has emerged as part of the ongoing negotiations over an extension of this licensing deal, analysts and other sources say.
Via recently announced a major reorganisation, with CPU and chipset operations now handled by separate business groups. This move would make it easier for Via to spin off the CPU unit as a separate company, although it has announced no plans to do so, and products which combine the CPU and chipset in a single chip might complicate such a move. Via founder and CEO Chen Wenchi now heads the new CPU business group. Ex-Intel employee Chen is generally seen as one of the key driving forces behind Via's success.
Via's revenue so far this year is 32 per cent higher than 2005. The company reported sales of $540m over the first 9 months of the year. However, revenues remain well below a peak of almost $1bn reached six years ago when Via held a larger share of the chipset market.
Notable products based on Via's CPUs include the Samsung Q1P and TabletKiosk EO Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs), a range of thin clients from Hitachi, and a notebook PC from Via's sister company Everex which is described as the world's most energy efficient notebook. Another sister company, High-tech Computer (HTC), is also rumoured to be developing a second-generation UMPC which may use a Via CPU. µ

By Angeljean Chiaramida
---- — SEABROOK — Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials will soon travel south to the University of Texas to further investigate the concrete degradation problem affecting areas of NextEra Energy Seabrook nuclear power plant.
Alkali-silica reaction is a slow chemical reaction between water, the alkaline cement and reactive silica found in some aggregates used to make concrete. ASR forms a gel that expands, causing cracks that affect concrete properties, but which can take five to 15 years to show up.
More commonly found in transportation structures like dams, bridges and roads, where it has been successfully mitigated, Seabrook Station is the first nuclear power plant to discover and report the presence of ASR. It was found in an electrical conduit tunnel located about 40 feet below ground level, in one of the deepest sections of the plant. The tunnel contains wires that lead from the control room to the rest of the plant.
NRC officials have assured the public on several occasions that the presence of ASR in some walls presents no danger to the public and that they are confident the power plant is safe. The reason for their conclusion is the conservative safety factors built into the plant when it was constructed, such as the 2-foot thick walls reinforced with a lattice of steel bars — or rebar — that maintain the load-bearing capacity of the walls and meet federal standards.
Adding controversy to the discovery of ASR at the power plant is that NextEra Energy Seabrook is currently under review by the NRC for a 20-year extension of its operating license, extending it from 2030 to 2050. Agency officials have told the power plant's owners that in order for the plant to gain approval for its license extension, proof must be provided concerning the impact ASR will have on the plant as it ages, as well as how to mitigate ASR in the plant's concrete structures if necessary.
According to NRC senior reactor analyst William Cook, he and fellow members of the agency's ASR team of experts will go to Austin, Texas, within the next few weeks for an extended visit to see for themselves the result of testing being conducted by the college on Seabrook's ASR phenomenon. The University of Texas was commissioned by NextEra Energy Seabrook to research the effects ASR could have on the plant as it ages.
"We'll go down to Austin and spend some time with the professionals working on the ASR testing because it's the only way to gain confidence in their process," Cook said. "We'll be there while they're testing the anchor bolts, doing destructive testing, which tests materials to determine what the breaking point is."
Cook said anchor bolts testing will determine how well bolts in ASR-affected concrete retain their capacity to stay in the walls and not be pulled out.
The team will also watch as the scientist working on the project at the university fabricates concrete reinforcement beams in a manner that's representative of the beams at Seabrook Station. The beams will again be stressed to judge their compressive and tensile strength.
Cook is one of about 10 NRC engineers on the team focusing on the ASR issue at Seabrook Station. He and four others were at an agency open house in Hampton Wednesday night, which offered an opportunity for members of the public to speak informally with the experts on issues related to Seabrook Station.
"I think we do our best work with the public when we are in this kind of informal setting, speaking with people one-on-one," Cook said.

Baths and brushings are great, but your pup's eyes, ears, teeth, and toes need special care too. Here are the essentials.
If you've adopted an adult or older dog who isn't used to being groomed, start by gently handling her legs, feet, mouth, ears, and head several times a day for a few weeks. Most dogs will come around to this kind of handling once they get used to it.
Out of Sight
Some dogs have periodic discharge at the inner corners of their eyes. And if this runny goo isn't removed, it can irritate your dog's skin. To clean your dog's eyes, simply moisten a cotton ball or washcloth with warm water and gently remove any discharge. A moistened baby toothbrush is gentle enough to remove dried debris from the hair near the eyes.
If you notice a lot of discharge or if it's thick and greenish or yellowish, call your veterinarian. These signs could indicate an eye irritation, known as conjunctivitis, or an infection.
Listen Up
Check your dog's ears once a week. If they look dirty, moisten several cotton balls with mineral oil, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide. Lift each earflap and wipe the skin folds and any visible parts of the ear. Never insert anything into her ear canal.
If your dog's ears smell bad or ooze thick, dark brown, or yellow-green discharge, she could have an ear infection. Call your veterinarian if you see any of this yucky stuff.
Grin and Brush It
Periodontal disease can be as big a problem for your pet as it can be for people, so make a daily tooth brushing part of your canine friend's routine.
Before you grab the brush and make for her molars, make sure you both feel comfortable with the toothbrushing process.
Get your dog used to having her mouth handled by gently massaging her lips with your finger in a circular motion for 30 to 60 seconds once or twice a day. Gradually move your finger into her mouth until you can massage her gums and teeth. This adjustment may take several weeks, so be patient.
Once she's comfortable with this routine, you can introduce a toothbrush. A soft child's toothbrush, a dog toothbrush, or even a washcloth or piece of gauze will work. Always wash your hands before and after handling your dog's mouth.
Using circular or back-and-forth motions, brush the surfaces of your dog's teeth and gums next to her cheeks. This is where most of the tartar and plaque accumulate. Wipe her teeth with a clean, damp cloth to rinse.
Only use a toothpaste formulated for dogs or a mixture of baking soda and water. Never use human toothpaste; dogs can't spit and the toothpaste will upset your dog's stomach if she swallows it.
Your dog may resist letting you clean the inner surfaces of her teeth. Don't force the issue; very little tartar accumulates there anyway.
Fend off plaque by choosing a dry food, offering her hard, crunchy treats, and providing her with pet plaque-fighting chew toys.
Happy Feet
If you have a medium or longhaired dog, you'll need to trim the hair between her nails and pads. These small spaces can trap and hide tiny mats, fleas, and debris. Blunt-tip baby fingernail scissors work well, or ask your groomer to trim these little hairs during your pet's next session.
All dogs, regardless of coat length, need their feet washed periodically to remove trapped dirt, especially after vigorous outdoor play. Clean your dog's feet and toes with a washcloth and warm water, or make careful foot cleaning part of your pooch's regular bath time.
These simple health precautions can help you and your pet avoid bigger and more costly problems down the road.

A Racine woman is in jail after allegedly telling officers she stole baby formula to sell to pay for her cancer medications.
Therese Bolton, 39, was charged in Racine County Circuit Court with one misdemeanor count of retail theft and a felony count of bail jumping, repeater. If convicted, she faces up to six years, nine months in prison and/or up to $10,500 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint, Racine Police were called to Kmart, 2211 S. Green Bay Road, on Feb. 6 for a call of shoplifting. When officers arrived, store security said they saw Bolton put three cans of baby formula in her purse and then attempt to leave the store.
Reports indicate Bolton admitted to police that she took the baby formula to help her pay for her cancer medications. Officers say the defendant told them she didn't want to ask her family for the money, and this was the first time she was stealing formula.
Bolton was out on probation from a retail theft charge last November, and her probation officer asked police to take Bolton into custody on a probation hold. She remains in the Racine County Jail on a $1,500 cash bond.
She will next be in court for a preliminary hearing Feb. 13 before Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch.

A controversial finding in the academic fraud report by former Gov. Jim Martin and the management consulting firm Baker Tilly that helped absolve athletics officials from wrongdoing was dropped Friday when a partner for the firm said the evidence did not substantiate what the report said.
The report said athletics officials and academic support officials for athletes had twice raised concerns in 2002 and 2006 to the Faculty Committee on Athletics "about students taking nominally lecture courses that did not meet and only required a 20-page term paper, and other forms of questionable independent study."
The report said the faculty on the committee "dismissed" those concerns "with reassurances that instructors had wide latitude how to teach a course." The finding was significant because it indicated that athletics officials had tried to fix what later became known as part of an academic scandal.
Martin had been steadfast in this contention, to the point of writing a letter to The News & Observer after it published a news story that questioned the finding.
Lissa Broome, a law professor and the university's current faculty NCAA representative, had told the N&O she had no memory of such concerns being raised. She told a UNC Board of Governors panel Friday that she met with several of her colleagues on the committee, and none of them remembered athletics or academic support officials raising a concern about lecture courses that didn't meet, or inordinately high enrollments of athletes in independent study courses.
Raina Rose Tagle of Baker Tilly told the panel that she wanted to "clarify" that finding. She said the athletics officials "asked a question not necessarily of the faculty athletic committee as a whole but sort of offline."
The original finding caused consternation among faculty because it suggested they had allowed a scandal to flourish under the guise of academic freedom. One of the faculty on the committee, History Department Chairman Lloyd Kramer, was seeking a Faculty Council resolution that would dispute the finding.
Tagle agreed the finding should be removed from the report. Panel members did not criticize the flaw.
"I don't think in any way it disqualifies the report in my mind," panel chairman Louis Bissette said.

Times West Virginian
Korey Harris, a defensive lineman who was recruited to West Virginia University amidst high expectations, reportedly has come to the end of the line.
Harris was arrested Friday on a charge of first-degree armed robbery, according to media reports in both his hometown of St. Augustine, Fla., and in Morgantown.
The sophomore, who played in 11 games and was credited with six tackles as a freshman, was suspended from the team by Coach Dana Holgorsen in April for violating unspecified team rules.
Apparently reinstated after the spring semester, Harris' name was removed from the team's online roster.
Football sports information director Mike Montoro refused comment on this latest incident, saying "we have no comment on individuals who aren't with the West Virginia football program."
The incident that led to Harris' arrest occurred on July 12. Police told media that Harris and two other individuals entered a Sturgis Street residence and held two residents at gunpoint.
A relative said one of the victims recognized Harris, who was wearing his WVU-issued sweatpants with the No. 96 on them. That victim reportedly told police all three intruders were armed.
Harris reportedly was being held on $75,000 bail at the North Central Regional Jail on Friday but by Sunday was not listed on the facility's website.

Illinois primary Results
by politics64, Mon Mar 20, 2006 at 07:53:31 AM EST
For all the junkies like me we have our next point of interest to bring the Progressive movement closer to the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. We came up short in Texas 28, now we have Illinois 6th! Here is the web address to the Dupage County BOE for election night results:
Go Christine, Go Laesch! There are three other Democratic Congressional primaries as well.

We have a tape library that we'd like to integrate into our SAN environment via a bridge (Dell Power Vault 35F).
How does a bridge translate SCSI device IDs to FC WWNs? Will each tape drive be assigned a WWN?
Thanks in advance.
The Power Vault 35F is most likely a re-branded Chaparral or Crossroads bridge. The bridge acts like a SCSI initiator on the SCSI side and an FC target on the FC side. "SCSI targets are selected by mapping the appropriate values into the FCP LUN field and correlating a Fibre Channel LUN value to a SCSI Bus:Target:LUN value. The Power Vault 35F acts as a single initiator on each SCSI bus, defaulting to ID 7. All commands passed through to a SCSI bus originate from this SCSI ID."
One thing to remember is that there may be two mode of operation in assigning SCSI IDs to the tape robot and drives in a library behind the bridge. You can choose auto mode, which automatically assigns IDs on boot or you can hard map them in the address-mapping table in the bridge. Use the latter, since auto-mapping IDs may reassign SCSI numbers and that would wreak havoc on your backup program! I have seen many sites with this issue. You use the bridge to create persistent bindings on the hardware side so the host OS does not get confused when scanning for SCSI targets.
You can get more information on how to configure the 35F from Dell's Web site at: href=http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/stor-sys/spv35f/

Guide Review - Kabab Cafe - Restaurant Review - In Astoria's Little Egypt
You could go with any item off the trusty menu, but regulars know that the magic lies in the often impromptu daily specials.
If you're lucky, Ali will offer the slow-cooked lamb shank. Served in a zesty tomato sauce, the succulent lamb falls off the bone and into the annals of sublime eating. When asked, Ali motioned from the open kitchen for me to come and look at the ingredient responsible for the savory tanginess: the whey from his homemade yogurt mixed into the chunky tomato sauce. Genius.
Order the mixed meze as you contemplate your entree choices. It's circled with slices of apple and large enough for two or more to share. The heart of the dish is the savory fried escarole leaves: hot, crispy, and seasoned so that each bite miraculously melts in your mouth. This should be required eating.
Don't overlook the eponymous kababs, served off the skewer with grilled vegetables. The kefta (ground beef and lamb) is the best I've had in Astoria.
I had declined desert vigorously, but Ali charmed me with his (complimentary) golden semolina honey cake. I've never been to Egypt, but washed down with a cup of mint tea, Ali's genuine graciousness makes Kabab Cafe feel so much like home.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your sewing machines! It's time for a Spring Top Sewalong!
Every time I type those words, I get really excited. And this year I'm thrilled to be able to announce yet another fun-filled Spring Top Sewalong!
Have you been wanting to sew for yourself but haven't found the time? Are you looking at your spring wardrobe and inwardly groaning? You need some new clothes! Yes I am talking to YOU! This sewalong is for YOU!!!
The Spring Top Sewalong will begin this week with a few kickoff fabric giveaways (you need to have fabric to sew a top, right??). The sewalong photo pool will open next week Monday, March 19, so you can enter your photos as early as next week.
Here's how it works:
- SEW ALONG: Sew a top/tunic/shirt/blouse for yourself. See this post for more specific top guidelines/FAQ.
- PUT IT IN THE POOL: Take a picture of your top on your fantastic self, crop it to a SQUARE (see this post for more specific photo guidelines/FAQ), and put it into our Spring Top Sewalong 2012 Pool starting next Monday, March 19, 2012.
- FILL OUT THE ENTRY FORM: After you've added your photo to the pool, complete my very short, very quick, very easy Spring Top Contest Entry Form for each top you want to enter. This will add your top to my Master Spreadsheet of Tops for judges to score, which is how we choose our "Top Tops". Note: If you decide you would like to put your top in the pool just for fun and not be entered in the competition, put your photo in the sewalong pool but don't fill out the entry form and add the words "just for fun!" to your photo description.
- Sit back and watch the fun unfold!
There's fun, you say?
Four times throughout the sewalong, I'll post a group of the best tops ("Top of the Tops," these are selected by judges scores) here on this site so you can ooh and ahh and vote for your favorite. The plan is to have two winners each week, one selected by the reader vote, and one selected by the judges' scores, and we'll have prizes for the winners: gift certificates from Made By Rae sponsors…yay!! You know, so you can buy more fabric and make more tops!!! Hee.
Of course, I'm thrilled to be able to offer prizes (thank you so much, Made by Rae sponsors!) but I hope you'll join us for the sewalong for another reason — to create something beautiful for yourself and enjoy seeing the creations of others! It's been so rewarding in the past to see you guys sewing something for yourself, so many of you for the very first time.
The Spring Top Sewalong will accept entries from Monday March 19, 2012 until Sunday April 22, 2012 at 8 pm eastern. (After that time, you may continue to enter your tops in the pool so we can enjoy them and others can comment on them, but the contest will be closed)
Since we'll be doing four rounds of scoring/prizes throughout the sewalong, I'd encourage you to enter your tops as early as possible, since most of the tops tend to come in at the last minute (and will therefore have more competition the later you enter). If a top is featured in a "Top of the Tops" post, it will no longer be eligible for subsequent rounds, even if it doesn't win that round. We want as many people to have their tops featured as possible, and as many winners as possible!
Please help me promote Spring Top Sewalong 2012 by taking a button and slapping it up on your blog. Even if you don't end up entering a top in the sewalong, it really helps me get the word out. The more the merrier!
To get the button above, copy and paste the text in the box below into a widget/gadget/post HTML area:

Carla's Inspirations says:
This is totally what I need! I bought a couple of top patterns last month and I haven't gotten around to sewing them. Next week is perfect! I will totally make something awesome.
OK, I totally have to get in on this one this year. I have zero satisfactory maternity spring tops and I am determined to sew at LEAST one!
Oh drat! I've just packed up my sewing machine before I move interstate and won't be able to use it for at least a month. Oh well, at least I'll be able to enjoy all the top inspiration!
Carla's Inspirations says:
The code for the first button is missing a / right after the img src code. Can you fix that for others?
fixes it so people can copy and paste it into their html source.
Annie says:
I was just thinking about this today and wondering when it would start! I want to enter this year!!
Karen says:
I'm so excited, I couldn't wait to post about it!
Sarah says:
angie says:
Oh I just may have to give this a try! I'm been meaning to make myself some new tops for spring…even thinking of trying a bit of knit fabric…
Crystal says:
Melissa Q. says:
I'm in! Saw this on cirque de bebe and I was intrigued as my goal as been to sew my own wardrobe for the summer. I had a shirt planned already! So, now I am motivated!!
Alison says:
I'm so excited! I can't wait to figure out what top I will make.
Jackie says:
Fantastic! I've had a top sitting here cut out for a week and a half, but I had started to think I'd never get around to sewing it – everyone else's stuff seems more 'urgent' somehow. Now I have added motivation, and the Schoolboy's requests will need to wait their turn!
kristin says:
I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna do it! Deep breaths! Thanks for hosting!
Rae says:
You can do it girl!!!
María says:
Thank you!
Lindsey says:
But it's autumn where I live – Oh well, I'll make a top anyway
Rae says:
yeah, I didn't think about that whole hemisphere issue when I named the thing way back in 2009. BUT, whatever your transitional season may be, you can still sew yourself a top!! Yay!
Stacy says:
Squeeee! I love this sewalong! I was hoping it would come up soon. I have made a few tops that last few weeks (after March 1!) and have a few more planned. I can't wait to see all the spring top inspiration.
fern says:
I feel like I've been waiting all year for this moment!!! YAY!!!
Megan says:
I'm in. Thanks for the motivation. I blogged about it here:
And I plan to update my progress as I go. Hopefully I'll be one of those early bird entries and hopefully I bought enough fabric since I bought it before I found out I was pregnant!
Shannon says:
YES! I've been wanting to sew up some spring clothes and test out my new dressform. This is the perfect motivation!! Thanks!
Shannon says:
Can someone help me post this button on my blog?? I'm new to blogging and still dumb about it. I can't get the first button code to work. It's giving me errors. I use Blogger.
Rae says:
Hi Shannon:
Sorry it's giving you trouble. I'm sure my poor HTML coding skills are to blame. Is the second button code working for you? Because if it is, you can copy and paste (ctrl+C, ctrl+V) the URL for the first image and just substitute it for the URL for the second image and it will work fine. I'll try to get it fixed though!!!
Genifer says:
Yay! Last year I followed along but was too scared to jump in. This year, I will!
StephC says:
Cool! I have two tops in the works that I'll be sure to enter.
nothy lane says:
I have a few tops on the go, and I will definitely be entering one of them.
Sylvie says:
Oh that is just what I needed to motivate me!
Thank you for hosting this again, Rae!
Erika says:
Thanks for the motivation. I have two patterns and an entire book of patterns for myself that I've been setting aside since Christmas to make "just one more thing for the kids!"
Kelly says:
Oooooohhh!! I totally forgot about it this year! I just finished sewing flower girl dresses and now I am off to the wedding for 2 weeks…I will try to crank out a couple of tops when I get back So much fun!
Steph W says:
I've missed this in years past, but this year I'm IN!
Christie says:
I'm going to join in this year too, instead of just watching! Mine will be an Autumn top hehe. I've given it a plug over on my blog too, http://joyfoolery.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/spring-top-sewalong.html
Should be fun, thanks Rae!
desiree says:
LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!! Wahoooooooo
Amanda says:
Hi Rae,
I'm also having trouble with getting either button to work on my blog. (Blogger, as well.) It could be just me, I'm a bit tech-retarded.
Rae says:
No it's not you…SORRY. It's ME who is the tech-failure.
Jenny says:
Ooooh I love that store!
Samantha says:
No, no, no…a year has passed already?! WHAT?!
I'd best get my skates on! xx
lynn says:
any suggestions for patterns? i'd like to join in but am stuck for a cute pattern!
Helen says:
I'm in! I've been lacking a bit of sewing get-up-and-go, not to mention time due to a busy family life, so this should really motivate me to get stitching. I've just bought some (yikes!) stretch viscose jersey to sew up a pattern I bought a couple of years ago, so hopefully I'll be able to post the finished top before too long!
Janica says:
Love selfish sewing!!!! Thanks again Rae; I look forward to this EVERY year! I appreciate all the work that goes into organizing this HUGE event:) Such great inspiration in the flickr pool—-love it!
Nicole says:
I attempted a top today. Fail. But I learned a lot. I think Ill try again. Thanks for this SewALong!

One In Every Group
Bit by bit, each time you talk with them, you notice one more sullen face among the smiling ones, until eventually there's a complete set of them. Why hasn't our record sold more? Why is it only double platinum? Why do we have to be successful? Why have you screwed up our lives? We're leaving. To be honest, the day that happens will be the happiest day you can remember during the whole damned time you managed them.

I noticed on the Berkeley Chess School website that they offer a summer camp program. Anyone have any experiences to share, especially regarding a 7 year old attending? Also curious to hear about the full day vs. half day programs. They've been doing the camp for 17 years and I couldn't find any reviews on the Parents Network website. Many thanks! Lise
Does anyone have information Berkeley Chess School? Does your school offer Berkeley Chess School as an alternative? How is it working for you?
Re: Seeking chess class for 10 year old
The Berkeley Chess School is the best. Check out their website berkeleychessschool.org and a telephone number 510-843-0150 All sorts of great chess learning opportunities for kids of all ages and skill levels. My kids (7 and 10yrs now) have followed their programs - summer camps, afterschool classes, tutors, chess club and competitive local team for 4 years with great success and joy. Judith

Laser-enabled liposuction provides great results for fat aspiration and body contouring in both men and women, says a new study. Many people who are interested in a body contouring procedure usually shy away when they hear the word 'surgery'. But laser-assisted liposuction surgery with local anesthesia can appeal to such patients as the technology has proved easier, faster, safer, and a more viable alternative to traditional liposuction. This is borne out by the study 1000 Consecutive Cases of laser-assisted liposuction and suction-assisted lipectomy managed with local anesthesia by Christopher T. Chia and Spero J. Theodorou published recently in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. A review of the case studies by these renowned plastic surgeons has been featured in the September 2012 issue of Cosmetic Surgery Times in the article Enlightening Combo – Liposuction with laser assistance and local anesthesia proves safe and effective.1
In their studies, plastic surgeons Dr Christopher T. Chia, M.D. and Dr. Spero Theodorou, M.D., demonstrate that laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) and suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) using local anesthesia are safe and efficient procedures for the right candidates with localized fat distribution or lipodystrophy. The plastic surgeons recently reported on a total of 1500 consecutive cases of office-based, laser-enabled liposuction using local anesthesia.
Details of the Study
The study focused on patients aged between 18 and 62 who had laser liposuction treatment using Smartlipo on various areas of the body. The most commonly treated sites were the abdomen (33 percent) and flanks (24 percent). Thirteen other body areas were also treated.
The volume of fat aspirated ranged from 50 mL to 1400 mL. The study was conducted in an over a 30 month period. Three different modalities of Cynosure's Smartlipo technology featuring different laser wavelengths were used for three sequential sets of 500 cases.
•The first set used the 1064 nm single wavelength (Smartlipo)
•The second set used the 1064/1320 nm dual wavelength (Smartlipo MPX)
•The last set used 1064/1440 nm wavelength combination of the triple wavelength laser (Smartlipo Triplex)
The different wavelengths target different issues. For instance, it was found that the combination of the 1064 and 1440 nm wavelengths was especially effective for fat emulsification. Besides breaking fat apart, the laser energy provides for better tissue contraction and skin tightening effects. Only a few cases were performed suction-assisted liposuction as laser assisted lipolysis proved safer, and more effective.
The liposuction treatment was performed in an established Manhattan-based American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery-accredited office-based practice run by the plastic surgeons.
Benefits of Laser Assisted Liposuction
The results of the study by Dr Chia and Dr. Theodorou, both consultants for Cynosure and Invasix, clearly show that laser-assisted liposuction with local anesthesia provides more enhanced results than with traditional liposuction.
•Minimally invasive technology
•Minimal complications (less than 1 percent)
•No contraindications based on skin type (patients with darker skin may experience some temporary hyperpigmentation at the incision sites)
•Slow infusion of tumescent anesthetic solution minimizes discomfort from tissue distension
•Patient stays awake with local anesthesia
•Quicker recovery
•Return to normal daily activities by day two (post-op)
Only about 7 percent of the patients in this study required a touch-up after surgery. Any issues were limited to the initial cases. Burn cases were just 0.27 percent and only one patient experienced seroma and hematoma.
Eighty percent of the patients in the study were women, though the proportion of men opting for liposuction has increased. Dr Chia and Dr Theodorou report that the number of procedures performed per patient is also rising. All this goes to prove that laser assisted liposuction with local anesthesia is a great alternative to traditional liposuction using general anesthesia.

Queen sends pigeon to Legion's auction
6:00pm Saturday 17th November 2012 in News
SOME call pigeons "the rats of the sky", but one is being sent to Oxfordshire with the Queen's blessing this weekend.
She has donated one of her homing pigeons to be auctioned in aid of the Royal British Legion.
More than 70 birds will go under the hammer, although not literally, on Sunday. All have been donated by prominent homing pigeon owners.
Organiser and pigeon keeper Keith Shipperley said he was delighted the Queen had agreed to donate a bird.
He said: "It's very rare to get one from her. We're more than delighted. The person I spoke to had to go over and above to get it.
"Some of the other names on the list are top flyers, so it's going to be interesting to see how it goes."
He said it was hard to work out what the pigeon would fetch at the legion's base in Edgecombe Road, Headington.
He said: "You sometimes get the rings being given away, but they're obviously a lot more valuable if they're attached to a bird."
One of the rings, which identify birds, fetched more than £350 on eBay.
- Viewing is 11am to 1pm on Sunday, followed by the auction, with Tony Cowan. For details call 01865 769738.

An ambulance service in Mexico has halted construction on a new building because of what it is calling unfit infrastructure.
The University of Missouri Children's Hospital has inducted two new ambulances into its fleet. The new vehicles also have side-loading doors instead of back doors that allow for two patients to be transported at the same time.

Oh, the People You'll Meet!
One of my favorite aspects of my job as a writer and editor is meeting people and listening to their stories. The stories I work on for Plymouth Magazine take me all over campus, from the PE Center to Lamson Library, and numerous places in between. And with each conversation, I'm reminded that Plymouth State's greatest asset is its people, all of whom have their own unique stories to share.
In this issue, you'll meet some of the cast and crew of PSU's production of Hamlet, seven members of the class of 2012, a student with a long and diverse record of service, and many more of the people who enrich the University simply by doing what they love. It's been a fun issue to work on, and I hope you enjoy the result.
As always, I invite you to comment on any of the stories you read, and to share your thoughts on what you would like to see in future issues.
Barbra Alan, Editor
To the Editor
I received Plymouth Magazine yesterday and read it last night. It's always a treat to see what is happening at PSU.
It's nice to see you have FSC paper in your magazine now, and that PSU has lots of terrific green projects going on. I remember vividly the days when Jim Hobart, Bill Neikam, and a few of us toiled successfully with what was called the Energy Conservation Committee. Congratulations on all the green efforts now.
With best wishes,
Peter Otis
Director of Career Development
Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies
(From 1975 to 1994, Otis served Plymouth State as director of career counseling, director of new student orientation, personnel director, and director of international student affairs.)
Familiar Faces
We received an astounding number of responses to last issue's Familiar Faces from former faculty members, current and former staff members, and alumni from a wide range of years. While there was a slight variance in some of the guesses, the following response reflects what seems to be the consensus:
From Gail Carr '74, director of continuing education for the Frost School of Continuing and Professional Studies:
Dean Jim Smith, dean of students; Dr. Douglas Wiseman (faculty in the PE department, then associate dean of undergraduate studies and then faculty in the education department); Dr. Madie Barrett, who was in the foreign language department and interim president as well as dean of the College; and Dr. David Switzer from the social science department. He was chair for a while and is still running some archeological classes. His daughter Kate Switzer works in our bookstore. All very wonderful, influential folks that helped shape our institution.

|Carle's Corner: Solid foundation in place for Falcons (12-27-13)
|Written by By JACK CARLE Sentinel Sports Editor
|Friday, 27 December 2013 02:57
DETROIT — The end result wasn't what Bowling Green had hoped for at the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
The Falcons, who were 2-10 in 2010, won the Mid-American Conference championship beating nationally ranked and previously unbeaten Northern Illinois, 47-27 on Dec. 6.
The final team goals — winning a bowl game, and beating a BCS team — for this current group of seniors who played through the 2-10 season, were there for the taking Thursday against Pittsburgh.
Pitt kicked the eventual game-winning field goal with 1:17 left in the fourth quarter in a 30-27 victory. The Falcons finished 10-4.
''In terms of our team, I couldn't be more proud of the way this group handled themselves the last three weeks, what we accomplished in five months since we started this season, and what they accomplished in our five years here as a staff,'' said Adam Scheier, BG's interim head coach for the bowl game. Scheier was named the interim coach after Dave Clawson, BG's head coach since 2009, left after the MAC title game to become head coach at Wake Forest.
Thursday's loss denied the Falcons their final goals, but the group of fifth-year and fourth-year seniors have left their mark on the program. BG was a combined 7-17 in 2010 and 2011, and then went a combined 18-9 the last two seasons.
''I'm sorry to see this group go. They brought a MAC championship back to Bowling Green, and I couldn't be more proud of them. I'm just disappointed it ended the way it did,'' Scheier said.
Dominic Flewellyn said BG had a great 2013 season.
''This one loss doesn't tell the whole season. It doesn't show we weren't a good team,'' said Flewellyn, a senior who was BG's starting left guard for last 47 games.
And even Clawson leaving and all four coordinators, including Scheier, joining him, the Falcons have a solid foundation for the future.
Dino Babers has been hired to replace Clawson.
''The program has never been in better shape. I know coach Babers will take over, and expand on that,'' Scheier said. ''There is tremendous talent, and youth, and depth coming back. There is a culture that has been established that, they know how to prepare, they know how to practice, they know how to act on and off the field.
''I really, really couldn't be prouder of the work that we've done as a staff, and the commitment that these guys have made to bring it to that point.''
Flewellyn, who was thrown into the fray starting as a freshman, feels the program is in good shape for the future.
''They have some linemen coming back who are going to be better than I was, and hopefully better than what 'Chief' (David Kekuewa) was,'' Flewellyn said. Both Flewellyn and Kekuewa were first-team all-conference selections this season. ''We've got all the skills (back and receivers) coming back except 'Jop' (Shaun Joplin).
''They have a chance to be really good.''
On the defensive side of the ball, the Falcons lose six starters, including two-time all-conference selection Jerry 'BooBoo' Gates, a senior.
''In the secondary, we have guys behind me who can play just as well as me,'' Gates said. ''On the defensive line, we lose two interior guys. But we have young guys to step in and fill the gaps. At linebacker we have D.J. Lynch (back), he's a solid player.
''We have young guys. I know they are going to play hard, they just have to get the playbook down.''
With a lot of key components in place, plus Gabe Martin, Chris Gallon, and Darrell Hunter coming back from injury and the addition of transfer Gehrig Dieter at receiver, it's going to be interesting over the next few months to see what additions and changes Babers will make in the program.
In the next month or so he's going to have to finish filling out his coaching staff, and complete the recruiting.
Then it's on to spring practice, summer drills, and the August practice sessions leading up to the season opener at Western Kentucky.
Falcon fans hope the fun ride continues.

Some of the news stories from other Long Island communities this week.
No Charges in Deadly Boat Sinking
Nassau County authorities will not bring criminal charges in the July 4 sinking of a crowded pleasure boat that left three children dead. District Attorney Kathleen Rice's office said Thursday there is insufficient evidence to mount a criminal prosecution in the case. The July 4, 2012 sinking took the lives of three children, Victoria Gaines, Harlie Treanor and David Aureliano, who were aboard the Kandi Won when it capsized and sank off Oyster Bay following a fireworks display.
A cooperative of Long Island breweries are ready to pour the first glass of an India pale ale aptly named Surge Protector. The sales will be donated to Long Island Cares and an Oceanside microbrewery wiped out by the October storm. The ale, brewed at Blue Point Brewing Company in Patchogue, will be available at Patchogue's Tap Room starting Tuesday and hits the shelves in retail beer distributors at $16.99 for a 22-ounce bottle and will be sold at bars across Long Island starting Wednesday, according to a Newsday report. Just 2,000 bottles were made, according to the brewery. The brewing effort included Blind Bat Brewery, Barrier Brewing, Great South Bay Brewery, Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, Long Ireland Beer Company, Port Jeff Brewing Company, Spider Bite Brewing Company, and Blue Point Brewery. Clare Rose Distributors signed on to pump out the product for the cause as well.
Good Samaritan Hospital Hosts Health Lectures
Each month Good Samaritan Hospital hosts a lecture series consisting of three parts, known as "Good Sam University." The hospital continues its series in February, with lectures focusing on cardiac arrythmia, keeping women's hearts healthy and aging gracefully with the help of super foods.
Malverne Considers General Store Proposal
More than 30 residents who filled Village Hall Thursday night to learn more about the future of the vacant supermarket located in Malverne's downtown. Three different supermarket chains have tried to succeed at the 344 Hempstead Ave. property in recent years, but all have failed. Deputy Mayor Joseph Hennessy explained that the village also reached out to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Kings, King Kullen, and Wild by Nature, asking them to come to Malverne, but the property did not meet any of their needs.
Huntington Considers Wind Turbine Moratorium
The Huntington Town Board will consider a 90-day moratorium on issuing permits for wind turbines at a Feb. 5 public hearing. The hearing will allow time for the Town to craft regulations regarding zoning, use, location, size, height, noise and safety requirements.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's pleas for federal aid in the wake of Hurricane Sandy may pay off, as he received a positive response from D.C. lawmakers on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal (paywall).
Cuomo said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, agreed to support a supplemental appropriations bill that should pass by the end of the year.
"He wanted to get something done this year for New York," Cuomo said, according to the Journal.
Cuomo has now requested $42 billion in aid – more than the Department of Homeland Security asked for this year, the paper points out – while New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wants $36.8 billion.
Some members of Congress have suggested that the huge sums in aid be offset by cuts elsewhere. And at least one hurdle at the aid request's passing is the looming "fiscal cliff," a package of tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect at the beginning of the year.
But Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, was optimistic that other states that have been affected by natural disasters will support New York's efforts to rebuild.
"We are reminding our colleagues that New York was there when Missouri had tornados and North Dakota had floods and Colorado had firestorms and of course the Gulf area had hurricanes," Schumer said, according to the paper. "And now we need you."

An "extensive network" of local communities have formed a coalition to prevent a 56-pad trailer park from coming to the Newtown Swim Club once it closes after this summer, Headley resident David Wagner said.
Wagner, a Headley Community Homeowners Association board member, said the group will do whatever it takes to stop the trailer park from coming to the neighborhood.
Residents of the following communities are involved in the effort: Headley, Newtown Walk, Wilkshire Walk, Kirkwood, Villas of Newtown and Raintree/Windermere. The nearby office park and several real estate companies are also involved, according to Wagner.
"We are united in our attempts to have the builder, Mike Meister of County Builders, and Dave Platt of the Newtown Swim Club withdraw the 56 single-wide pad trailer park proposal," Wagner said. "We are asking the Township Supervisors to work out a plan in which townhomes can be built instead."
The application for a mobile home park was submitted after the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors shot down a plan for townhomes because it exceeded the housing density permitted in that zoning district. Since then, board member Matt Benchener has said he would now support the townhome plan in light of the trailer park proposal.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Gallagher said Tuesday morning that he had not heard from County Builders and there was no indication of plans to resubmit the townhome proposal. County Builders has not returned a request for comment from Patch.
Wagner said the HOAs of the various communities are distributing petitions to oppose the trailer park. Those petitions will be presented at Wednesday's Board of Supervisors meeting, he said. "We are encouraging all our respective homeowners to attend that meeting as a show of solidarity," Wagner added.
The communities have held their own planning meetings, Wagner said. So far, four meetings have taken place. "All have been very well attended, averaging 35 to 45 residents."
If the effort to bring the townhome plan back to the table fails, Wagner said the group will continue to do what it takes to stop the trailer park from coming to Newtown.
"In the case of an unfortunate event such as the builders proceed with their plans for the trailer park, we will continue to fight this as far as it will go. There will be no diminished effort on our part regardless of the length of time it takes. We are too committed for that to occur."
