After speaking with plastic surgeon about SMAS Facelift, and he said he does the SMAS, starting inside the ear, around the earlobe and about halfway up the back of the ear. Is this truly an SMAS Facelift? What can I expect from this? What do you recommend?
SMAS Facelift Incision?
Doctor Answers (24)
Minimally invasive Facelift incisions
A minimal lift for the lower face and neck is a great option with the least downtime for facial rejuvenation. There are many minimally invasive facelift options for the neck and face, which go by several names: s lift, mini lift, short scar lift, macs lift, SMAS, lunchtime lift, etc. These face lift surgery names are confusing. Technically, all these face lift procedures differ a little, but cosmetic results are the same.
The facelift incision may be anywhere from the temple & side burns, around the ear, and upper neck. The incision varies largely based on how much lift an individual needs. The plastic surgeon will minimize the incision but maximize the lift, without creating an unnatural appearance. The incision you describe should heal well. The face lift incision, when performed well, blends and hides from view.
More important than the specific incision or technique is the rapport and relationship you build with your plastic surgeon. He/She will be able to fully explain in-person the appropriate surgical option which is right for you, without a sales pitch or pressure.
Consultation with a face lift surgeon will provide you with a personalized face lift. Speak with more than one plastic surgeon regarding face lift surgery.
SMAS Facelift incision
A facelift may involve correcting three layers:
1. Skin
2. Fat
3.SMAS - Superficial Muscle layer
A SMAS facelift tightens and repositions the Superficial Muscle layer.
The scars made to do a facelift result from two needs:
1. A large enough opening to do the surgery under the skin
2. A long enough scar to remove skin excess.
So, you need a scar to get under the skin to tighten and reposition the SMAS, and to allow removal of the excess skin and a smooth closure. By tightening the SMAS layer, the skin does not have to hold up the deeper SMAS layer and thus the skin excess can be removed and closed without over pulling the skin. This will result in a more natural result that will be more long-lasting.
SMAS Facelift - Mini facelift
The SMAS refers to the sub muscular aponeurotic system, which is a fibrous tissue that envelops the muscles of facial expression. It is this layer that is tightened and resuspended when performing a facelifting type procedure.
The incisions to access the SMAS vary from a minilift to a full facelift.
The minifacelift insision (short scar, S-lift, minilift) generally starts in the temple area, either in or just in front of the ear and around the ear lobe and behind the ear. The skin is lifted and the SMAS is tightened. Then the excess skin is removed.
It is important to speak with your facial plastic surgeon and explain what your expectations are. Generally, the mini facelift does not help if there is a lot of laxity in the neck- a neck lift or full facelift is then required.
It is important that you express all your concerns during your consultation so that you can have the best result possible.

Different Options Exist
There are a number of different incision approaches to SMAS facelift procedures. We tend to favor making the smallest skin incision possible during any facial surgical procedures, and utilize short scar/limited incision approaches in most cases. That said, the foundation of any surgical facial rejuvenation is SMAS tightening. The goal in our facelift approach is to utiliize the smallest incision possible that allows us complete access to SMAS, and the ability to elevate and tighten the SMAS in a comprehensive, natural fashion. We always utilize an "inside the ear" (aka post-tragal) incision, and extend it only as necessary. Commonly this requires extension to the upper ear/hairline, and behind the ear to the midpoint of the back side. This allows complete facial rejuvenation with minimal placement of skin incisions.
All Facelifts should be a SMAS lift but incisions will vary
All types of facelifts have on thing in common : they must address the SMAS layer by one technique or another.
The SMAS is a layer of tissue and muscle that is below the skin and is what causes jowling. It needs to be elevated / moved in order to get good results. This is done in a number of different ways depending on a surgeon's training and preferences.
The incisions used will be designed for your case to make sure they provide enough exposure for the surgeon, allow enough loose skin to be removed and are aesthetically pleasing.
So same goals for all facelifts but different incisions used to accomplish each unique case.

SMAS Facelift Incisions and Explanation
A full or "traditional" facelift addresses the sagging upper and lower neck skin and (platysmal) vertical neck bands, jowls, lower and mid nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It involves incisions from the temple scalp, along the front of the ear (inside the mid part for women), behind the ear in the crease then along or into the scalp hair behind the ear towards the back of your neck with undermining of the skin and tightening of underlying support tissues. SMAS mini-facelifts can do much of the same with smaller procedures.
A SMAS lift in general refers to any facelift technique that tightens the SMAS layer along with the overlying skin in a more youthful position making you look younger. Specifically the SMAS face lift does its magic by lifting and tightening the jowls, neck, and cheeks to a more rejuvenated position. These techniques generally produce more natural and long-lasting results than the "skin only" face lifts, and now considered by most board certified plastic surgeons as the most preferred method. Incisions can be large or small depending on if it is a traditional facelift or mini-facelift approach. Both can be SMAS lifts.
A SMAS mini-facelift, or "short scar facelift" or as I call it in my practice the LiteLift addresses all of the above except for the lower neck. The difference is that the incisions are shorter - basically the same description in front of the ear and temple scalp but ending at the level of the earlobe (in front or in back) - as much as 40% less scarring. We prefer the Lite Lift procedures as it allows us to do most of these procedures with oral sedation and local anesthesia without IV's or general anesthesia.

SMAS Facelift Incisions
It seems that you are confusing the incisions in the skin compared to the incisions in the SMAS layer. The skin incisions are ideally carefully hidden around the ear and hairline. The skin is then elevated from the deeper layers through these incisions. Subsequently the SMAS layer is opened and elevated and resuspended. I believe that the SMAS facelift is the best method available to reposition the facial fat, restore softness over the cheekbones, and to get rid of jowls.
SMAS incision
SMAS lift incision
That is a typical incision for a mini-face lift or SMAS lift. The extent of the incision behind the ear is dependent on the extent of neck skin excess and laxity. If the neck does not have significant skin excess, a MACS type incision limited to in front of ear only may be a good option.

It's been a few hours, you've just been hanging there. You've been quiet, too quiet. Usually there's music playing, or your foot steps could be heard. But today, you're quiet. Your little sister, who doesn't normally come to greet you because you lock yourself away, decides to see what you're doing. She assumes you're taking a nap, or doing some homework quietly. She runs up the stairs, eager to see, but she comes to an immediate halt. You're not doing your homework, nor taking a nap. Your music isn't playing and you aren't walking around. You're hanging there, completely still, now just like her. At this moment, her whole world shatters. Everything she has ever known, looked up to, loved, is hanging there by a thread. At this moment, her life has been changed forever. At this moment, she wishes she was hanging with you.
Before you decide to take your life, imagine who will find you. Imagine them walking into a room, and seeing you just hanging there. Whether it be your little sister, little brother, mother father, grandparents, a friend. Imagine what will happen when they find you. No, they will not say "Finally, they're gone." No, they will not say "I'm happy they did that." No, they will not say "I never loved them anyways." They will die. Their hearts will break. They will hurt, more than you ever could. They will cry, scream, and break down. They'll believe it's all just a dream, praying to wake up. Except, they won't feel that for a few seconds, or a few days, not weeks, nor months. They will feel that until the day they die. Everyday will be hell. They'll think of you ever second. They'll hate themselves for not being able to help or save you. They'll wish they could die too. They'll want to give up, just to be with you. They won't be ever be happy again. They won't smile. They won't go back to their daily routine. They'll die every time they walk past your room, or see a picture of you, or think of a memory with you. They'll think, but stay quiet. They'll visit your grave, feeling a knife go through their chest every time. And every morning when they wake up, no matter how long it's been, they'll wake up to thinking they'll see you, only to be let down once again. And every night, they will cry themselves to sleep, because even though they refuse to admit it, know you're gone forever.
Before you decide to take your life, think of your family, burying you. Yes, your own mother and father are planning your funeral. It's supposed to be the other way around, but it's not. They'll have to call the cops, sign a death certificate, pick out clothing, buy a tomb stone, a casket, pick out flower arrangements, and more; All for their child's funeral. The morning of your funeral, everyone who loves you is wearing black. Tears are streaming down their face, while their heart is breaking. Everyone who you thought didn't need you, or didn't care, are waiting in line to see you. They aren't waiting in line at a party, or a graduation, or at a wedding reception. They're waiting to see you, hands folded, lifeless, in a casket.
Before you decide to take your life, think of everyone you will be hurting. Don't you dare say no one, because absolutely everyone will be affected. Your grandparents, won't have a grandchild anymore. Your parents, won't have a child anymore. Your brother or sister, won't have a sibling anymore. Your pet, won't have an owner anymore. That person you sit next to in class, won't feel your presence anymore. Your teacher, won't have a student anymore. That time your grandparents told you no, will haunt them forever, thinking it is their fault, that you are now dead. That time your parents yelled at you, will haunt them forever, thinking if they didn't yell at you, you would still be here. That time your sibling said they hated you, will hate themselves, because they believe you would still be alive if they said they loved you instead. Those kids who made you feel bad, will wish they were dead too, because if they just smiled at you instead, you would be here. That teacher that said you didn't meet her expectations, will feel like a failure, because you would still be here, if she believed in you. Everyone, who has ever been in your presence, will hurt, because if they showed you they cared, you would still be here.
Before you decide to take your life, think. Don't just think of yourself, think of the consequences for everyone else. No one's life will be the same again. That person who God made specially for you, won't have you. That happiness that was waiting for you, will never show again. Before you decide to take your life, realize that you may be ending your pain, but you'll be starting a lifetime of everyone elses.
If you are feeling alone, and think that suicide is the only way out:
My ask is open, and I'm always here. I'll never judge you. I'll try to help you.
If you are thinking of taking your life, call:
You stupid motherfuckers, don't you dare not reblog this. Because this deserves 100K notes more than pictures of your favourite gay couple or cute cats, and yet it has 243 notes. 243 fucking notes? Fuck that. Fucking signal boost this.
I don't care how busy you are. Read this whole thing! People need to know the effects suicide has on everyone around you.
My ask is always open for anyone.
The Obama administration announced that it will be bringing back a piece of SOPA legislation that would make streaming copyrighted material a felony.
Can you believe this shit? When we finally get one off our backs, they try and bring up another bill AGAIN. We already said no to the first one, so why do they think that this is any better?
For those of you who don't know what SOPA is, it was a bill back in 2011 that the govn't tried to pass that said that posting any copyrighted music or even COVERS of said music would be considered a felony. A. FELONY.
Sign the petition below, and let's keep our internet the way we like it.
not only the action of posting covers would be a felony, but also making fanart and writing fanfiction. Please, guys. It only takes a moment to make an account and click a button. If you've ever made a cover, drawn fanart, or written fanfic, or enjoyed any of the above, PLEASE go sign this petition.
signal boost this shit
So if you're in a fandom, you're basically screwed. I don't know how Tumblr hasn't imploded because of this.
Some times I think that the stereotype of young people being apathetic is directly related to the fact that no one listens when we say 'knock it off.' Times like this, I think I'm pretty damn certain.
Actually, I forgot to comment about this.
The reason why Tumblr hasn't imploded about this is because, well kids, people really ARE as stupid and apathetic as you think they are.
It takes some REAL coaxing to get people to care about things other than penises and cats and other trifling, unnecessary things that can survive perfectly capable without their gawking and cooing.
People in the masses are dumbasses.
Because not one person will take the time to sit down and think and actually READ what's awfully important.
Let me break it down, followers for I feel most of you are perfectly capable, free thinking folks that actually has some life in the gray mater in your calcium husk.
- All that OTP, OT3, BFFships, shipping/armadas that you have accumulated over the years of really enjoying something and being a fan, it's going to fucking disappear. All. Of. Your. Precious. Websites (some questionable, some popular, some obscure). That cater. To your kinks. About your favorite pairing. Will. FUCKING. D-I-S-A-P-P-E-A-R. Yes, fanfiction.net will go down. Adultfanfiction.net will go down (painfully). AO3 (archive of our own, for those who don't know) will go down. ANY. AND. ALL. FANFICTION. WILL. D-I-S-A-P-P-E-A-R. And not only that, kids. The authors, probably totally innocent human beings (I use "innocent" very loosely), fans JUST LIKE YOU are now felons. That means, kids… FANFICTION AUTHORS. WILL BE GRADED. THE SAME WAY. A FELON WOULD. BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY ENJOYED SOMETHING SO MUCH THAT IT STIMULATED THEIR CREATIVE SPIRIT TO TAKE THE TIME AND BUILD UP THAT RESUME TO GAIN CARPAL TUNNEL BECAUSE THEY LOVE SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY EITHER TYPE IT OR PEN-TO-PAPER IT OR DO FUCKING BOTH.
- You know those… beautiful webcomics that sometimes caters to and blends in all of your favorite things? The one that immediately pops in my mind is Grim Tales From Down Below and PPG:D (all Snafu content). KISS THOSE GOOD-BYE. It's going in the incinerator.
- Oh, also… I know most of you have favorite artists from around the art WWW world. I fucking love Blackstorm and I REALLY fucking love EarlGreyxx. Blackstorm makes by far the sexiest gotdamn IchiGrimm art I've ever seen in my life. EarlyGreyxx is a surgeon with Pokemon gijinkas (gijinkas = the humanization of animals/things). THEY TOO. WILL BE. LABELED. AS FELONS. FOR SIMPLY DOING SOMETHING THEY LOVE. WHICH IS CATER TO YOU (for they're sharing this art for the world to see) AND CATER TO THEMSELVES ('cause let's face it, art is very selfish and self-fulfilling). IT. WILL. BE. I-L-L-E-G-A-L. Kiss all those art sites you believe to your heart of hearts to be better than deviantart INCLUDING deviantart that last kiss goodnight 'cause they're all gonna get fuckin' buried. That includes e-shuushuu.net simply because it CARRIES the fanart.
- Take the time to watch this balloon, think how far this will balloon. You may think it won't effect you. What about those MLP:FIM figurines you love so much made by somebody other than the folks who own MLP:FIM? IT'S GONE. Those gorge art pieces featuring you with somebody of fiction that you took the time and money to pay for? IT'S GONE (by the way, you're probably gonna be considered a felon for simply promoting this art by buying it from the artist who is also now a felon). Those awesome cross-over pieces that circulate around Tumblr? Disney meets Pokemon? Digimon meets Attack On Titan? Pokemon meets EVERYTHING UNDER THE FUCKING BLACK SUN (and the glow cloud)? You will… never… see it… again… Plain and simple.
Think of all those times when a simple fucking picture of your favorite thing brightened an otherwise shitty day.
Think of all those times fanfiction probably saved you from going to a deep and dark place that you felt you couldn't escape, remember that little window of light making you smile through your tears.
Think of all those times role-playing simply in the same UNIVERSE as your favorite thing made you feel like you could fly if only for a moment.
But then again, since this won't get nearly as much attention as a picture of a kitten or a vulture or a penis or vagina or whatever, I guess you don't give a fuck.
And the government is gonna continuously prey on that fact: You don't give a fuck.
Keep in mind kids, the ones who give less than a fuck than you is forever gonna be the gotdamn government.
Stay stupid, kids.
Love ya.
OutOfRepels: Personally, I don't reblog stuff like this. But this is important. I couldn't care less about stuff like sexual writings and art, but everything else gone? Screw that. It's why our government is currently number 3 on my top ten most hated list.
This won't be staying on my blog. But people need to know about this.
((Third time I've signal boosted about this today. I normally try to keep OOC to a minimum on here, but this is too important to just ignore (and plus this blog has the most followers anyway).
We stopped this bill once, guys. We can do it again.))
Some Nights Tumblr Version.
Based off this post.
Some nights, I stay up staring at my laptop
Some nights, I don't sleep at all
Some nights, I 'm glad that my dash is never ending
Some nights, I wish I could log off
But I still stay up, I still read your posts
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure why I'm awake at four
What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore…
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
This is it, these are ship wars
What are we fighting for?
Why don't we read fanfic already?
I was never one to sleep at night - save that for those who have a life
Post twice as much and get half as many likes, but here feels come again
To stay for a while
But that's alright; I blog from in my bed tonight
I blog because I'm wonderin' just who I, who I, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm… I have no life
Well, some nights, I wish that my dash would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared I'll hit post limit again
Some nights, I always hit, I always hit…
But I still stay up, I still read your posts
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure why I'm awake at four
What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?
Most nights, I don't know…
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Left my social life for this? Or do I have no friends because of this?
(/awkward pause where I didn't know what to write/)
So log on.
Log on.
Log on,
Well, that is it guys, that is all, scroll twelve pages down and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, and only bloggers understand
I'm not sticking 'round with my folks downstairs; Sorry to leave, mom, I had ship pairs
I'm going to be forever alone, all dried up from my laptop brightness
My heart is breaking for my OTP and the con that they call "love"
'Cuz when they look into each other's eyes…
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from…
Some terrible writers…ahhh…
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
The other night, you wouldn't believe the fic I just read about my OTP
I wish it would update already
I wish you'd tag all of your stuff, man.
Why won't you tag all of your stuff, man? oh…
I'm never logging off
Why would I ever log off Tumblr… oh …
Oh, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh.
Not only are the lyrics perfect and accurate, but the singing is pretty awesome toooooo. DEEEADDDDDD
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn't you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn't want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don't even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn't help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn't it.Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

Friendship with God: The Parable of Whiteness
God: Imagine that you are in a white room, with white walls, white floor, white ceiling, no corners. Imagine that you are suspended in this space by some invisible force. You are dangling there, in mid-air. You cannot touch anything, you cannot hear anything, and all you see is whiteness. How long do you think that you will "exist" in your own experience?
Neale: Not very long. I'd exist there, but I wouldn't know anything about myself Pretty soon, I'd go out of my mind.
God: Actually, that's exactly what you would do. You would, literally, leave your mind. Your mind is the part of you that is assigned the task of making sense out of all incoming data, and without any data incoming, your mind has nothing to do.
Now, the moment you go out of your mind, you cease to exist in your own experience. That is, you cease to know anything in particular about yourself.
Are you big? Are you small? You cannot know, because there is nothing outside of yourself with which to compare yourself.
Are you good? Are you evil? You cannot know. Are you even here? You cannot know, because there is nothing over there.
You cannot know anything about yourself in your own experience. You can conceptualize it all you want, but you cannot experience it.
Then something happens to change all this. There appears a tiny dot on the wall. It's as if someone has come along with a fountain pen and squirted a tiny dot of ink. Nobody knows how the dot actually got there, but it doesn't matter, because the dot has saved you.
Now, there is something else. There is You, and there is the Dot On The Wall. Suddenly, you can make some decisions again, you can have some experiences again. The dot is over there. That means that you must be here. The dot is smaller than you. You are bigger than it. You are starting to define yourself again—in relationship to the Dot On The Wall.
Your relationship with the dot becomes sacred, because it has given you back a sense of your Self.
Now a kitten appears in the room. You don't know who is doing this, who is causing all this to happen, but you are grateful, because now some more decisions can be made. The kitten appears softer. But you appear smarter (at least, part of the time!). It is faster. You are stronger.
More things begin appearing in the room, and you begin to expand your definition of Self. Then it dawns on you. Only in the presence of something else can you know yourself. This something else is that which you are not. Thus: In the absence of that which You Are Not, that which You Are.., is not.

Good morning Mendoza!
Alto Belgrano balcony view. Mendoza, Argentina.
Nurturing an abiding love for Latin America, I've traded big city lights for sunshine and grapes in Mendoza, Argentina. A perennial traveler and writer, I'm inspired by locals, culture and creativity. This is my patchwork.

Out to sea on the First Lady with a night-scape of the impressive Chicago skyline.
Last night, I enjoyed the longest day of summer atop the Ink48 hotel on 11th Ave. in Midtown West. Trip Advisor hosted a private event at The Press Lounge, which encompasses and indoor bar and an outdoor rooftop lounge that wraps in an L shape around the north and east sides of the building.
I was worn out from the day, so I plopped myself on a comfortable chaise lounge and soaked in the city and sunset views over the Hudson. I ended up sitting next to two New York walking tour operators, Gabriel from Graff Tours, who specializes in NY, Phili and LA graffiti tours, and David from Urban Oyster, which I thought might have something to do with oysters, but turns out the company specializes in craft beer tours.
Feeling somewhat mislead, I demanded to know his best oyster bar recommendation. (I figured I wasn't the first to be lead astray, and that he must have at least one good suggestion tucked away for safe keeping when he finds himself confronted with a disgruntled consumer.) The Upstate was his number one pick, which just happens to be conveniently located a few blocks from my apartment on 1st Ave near 6th St. Well, that was a fortuitous meeting, and I didn't even have to move a muscle. I LOVE oysters.
Gorgeous view from guest room 1106 at Taj Boston hotel. Next time around I'm booking a suite with a fireplace!

Tang Da Wu
Tang Da Wu is credited as the founder of the Artists Village, a collective that has since its inception in 1988 become synonymous with experimental art in Singapore. Tang's practice, which spans painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance art, is notable for its subtly poetic deconstruction of historical and cultural conditions. His three-part sculpture Our Children (2012) references a story from Teochew opera (a variant of the form distinct to the southern Chinese region from which the artist's family hails), in which a young boy experiences illumination at the humbling sight of a baby goat genuflecting while suckling at its mother. This image is intended as a parable of the timeless virtues of respect and filial piety, and of the importance of cultural values.
In Tang's stylized tableau, the goats are wrought in galvanized steel and glass, the act of receiving nourishment represented by a bottle of milk that sits atop the structure. The ensemble calls to mind the Chinese domestic ancestral altar, at which offerings, prayers, and entreaties to one's forebears are performed in recognition of history, ancestry, and veneration of age-old wisdom. Inscribed on the bottle, which also represents the necessity of nourishment to future generations, are the characters 林道. This refers to a forest pathway or trail, and in the sculpture is a metaphoric allusion to the theme of insight.
Our Children also demonstrates Tang's skillful distillation of concept and commentary into a visual message and a prompt to reflection. In this work, the two figures appear in dynamic tension and resemble Chinese characters, bringing to life the narrative theme in spare lines and forms. (The parable itself is less smoothly concluded, the boy tragically failing to reconcile with his mother after his revelation.) Recalling Tang's seminal early work Tiger's Whip (1991), a commentary on the exploitation of tigers for their organs' supposed aphrodisiac powers, the work sees Tang explore the interaction of nature and culture. Investigative, rather than simply didactic, his works are intended to inspire rather than merely instruct.

The trucker involved in a fiery New Haven crash a year ago that left two dead and several others injured was arrested Wednesday by U.S. marshals in South Carolina.
Scott Saunders, 51, faces 16 counts that include reckless homicide, involuntary manslaughter and criminal recklessness stemming from the six-vehicle wreck Jan. 8, 2013.
Police responded to the wreck at U.S. 30 and Doyle Road on New Haven's east side and found three cars, two sport utility vehicles and the semi driven by Saunders were spread across the highway, scattering the area with debris and glass.
Seven people were hospitalized after the crash and two later died, police said.
Suzanne K. Stephenson, 65, of Monroeville, and Sandra Dealey, 43, of Convoy, were killed in the crash, the first fatal wreck of 2013.
Both women died of blunt-force trauma.
The women's vehicles and others were hit from behind by the semi driven by Saunders, which, according to police, failed to slow down or stop as the light turned from red to green.
Four lawsuits were filed against Saunders and his trucking company, Kutzler Express, after the crash.
The family members of Dealey and Stephenson sued Kutlzer Express and Saunders, as did Marsha Sarrazin, another of the injured.
In May, four other survivors – Meredith Ritchie, Robert Gardner, Fred Pottschmidt and Ryan Swart – sued seeking restitution for medical bills, lost wages and other damages.
At least three of those lawsuits had been settled as of November.
Saunders was arrested Wednesday in Greenville, S.C., the U.S. Marshals Service said.
When deputies told Saunders they had an Indiana warrant for his arrest, he said he knew what the warrant was about, officials said.
Saunders, of Kenosha, Wis., will await extradition back to Indiana.

Reviewed Dec. 27, 2013
"These were good, and very easy to make, but I prefer the fried version. I think the wonton wrappers absorb some of the frying oil and give them a better flavor. I made these as published in "Taste of Home Christmas," which calls for plain cream cheese, but otherwise is the same. I agree with the previous reviewer that they lack something. But they're pretty good for what they are."
Reviewed Dec. 27, 2013
"These are good but don't expect them to taste like what you get at your favorite take-out place. They are missing something: ginger, soy sauce??? Not sure what. My family also prefers them with seasoning, salt, pepper, a little garlic. They are good but we were hoping for something a little closer to our favorite from the restaurants."

How to Enable Big Data Analytics for Medical Research with Structured & Unstructured Archival for EMR
Archiving for Revenue, Cost Containment, Not Just Compliance
EMR systems like Epic have revolutionized the way medical information is captured and accessed by healthcare professionals, but there's a big problem: data is often purged from production EMR systems to maintain optimal efficiency of expensive Tier-1 storage. With today's big data analytical tools, data has tremendous value and now there is a solution for retaining structured records along with all associated unstructured data, such as radiographs, registration forms, ABNs, and even dictation audio encapsulated/embedded with the EMR records, while keeping systems functioning at their peak efficiency.
Why Does Structured Data Need to Be Purged from EMR Systems?
As data storage requirements grow, EMR systems can lose acceptable responsiveness, causing frustration for users and creating system instability. Compliance documentation, which may be in unstructured formats such as PDF reports, needs to be maintained and ideally stored as a single entity with the data itself. Storing unstructured data inside of the production database can result in bloat, while linking to external storage areas loses integrated referential integrity checking.
How to Maintain Both Structured & Unstructured Data with an EMR System?
Hospitals can now keep all structured data and unstructured data, documents and media with third-party archival software, such as InfoArchive from EMC. InfoArchive integrates seamlessly with Epic and other EMR systems so that all data is accessible through the EMR interface in a transparent manner to EMR users.
Why Not Use the EMR System's Archiving Module?
Since these modules are part of the EMR system's infrastructure, too much data will bog down the system and create instability. Most EMR systems only archive for compliance reasons and not with archiving for research in mind. For example, a report may be held to meet some compliance need, but the data that generated that report is lost after the final report is archived. This eliminates the ability to run different report types on the same data. Thus, a separate archive is needed to avoid this problem, and software like Epic already allows you to link to external archives.
Why Not Just Purge the Unstructured Documents?
If a hospital is found to be out of compliance because they are missing any part of the medical record, CMS can remove accreditation, resulting in loss of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, often resulting in the closure of the facility or costly remediation and re-accreditation efforts. Additionally, the legal risks of not being able to produce documents to the court are significant.
What Is the Value of Maintaining an Archive of Structured Medical Data?
It's called "Big Data" not simply because of its sheer massive scale, but also the variety and complex nature. To be useful, "Big Data" in healthcare needs to be complete, and timely. The right data to the right provider at the right time a key component. This helps to identify clinically important trends and interactions that lead to more effective patient outcomes. Organizations are joining forces inside and outside a particular system to put their big data together in a wider, more encompassing perspective to monetize the data's value such as through clinical trials.
Never Purge Valuable Medical Data Again
Especially if you already have an EMR system, you can now retain all structured and unstructured medical data without having to worry about system limitations and stability. Implementation of an archive like EMC InfoArchive that is integrated with your EMR can lead to a new chapter in your medical research capabilities. This archive can also be a repository for any other legacy systems like PACS that you may want to move away from.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Pacific Gas & Electric Corp.'s top executive is stepping down following a "challenging year" that included a natural gas pipeline explosion in a San Francisco suburb that killed eight and left 38 homes destroyed.
The San Francisco-based energy company says Thursday that chairman, chief executive and President Peter Darbee will retire on April 30.
The September blast on a 44-year-old transmission line in San Bruno ignited a fire that raged for an hour and 40 minutes and left dozens injured. The National Transportation Safety Board has yet to determine a cause.
PG&E says in a statement that Lee Cox will serve as interim chairman, CEO and president. Cox is a former president and CEO of AirTouch Cellular and has been a member of PG&E's board since 1996.

We spotted this Plymouth at 2012 SEMA and instantly fell in love. It was built by Ray Evernham at Ray Evernham Enterprises in Mooresville, North Carolina. It's a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere sitting on a NASCAR Sprint Cup Car of Tomorrow that raced at the Daytona 500 in 2008. It's powered by a Dodge 358ci NASCAR engine that ran in both Kasey Kahne and Bill Elliott's Superspeedway cars.
The engine was detuned in order to be more streetable, as if 750hp is a streetable figure. Fuel injection for NASCAR Sprint Cup is new for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, so this engine originally ran a carburetor. FAST, a division of the Comp Performance group, supplied a fuel injection system similar to that of a Holley EFI that NASCAR Sprint Cup will be running. The engine has a FAST ECU that controls injection and timing, but it does not have coil packs like that of a NASCAR Spring Cup Car, rather a traditional distributor. It still features an MSD ignition box, but only one for the now street engine, but it does have two batteries for turning over the high torque starter. COMP also helped out with a custom ground cam because this Plymouth will see more than just a Super Speedway, although, "This car is capable of 200 mph," Ray Evernham said with a smirk.
Fuel? Yeah, it's pump gas 93 Octane in North Carolina. The team had local engine builder Darrell Hoffman help assemble some of the engine. The 12:1 compression pistons were replaced for custom ordered flat-top pistons that are shorter than the wrist pins, resulting in roughly 11:1 compression.
You will be doing a feature on this car in an upcoming issue. Rank it below and tell us what you think in the comment section. Know before commenting that we might print your comment in the magazine.

As an Equipment Lease Partner you are not only investing in equipment but you are investing in diverse markets demanding container service across a multitude of industry channels and a business that has a solid strategy for long-term success. Globally, across markets, the use of containers to move products dominate the transportation of non-bulk commodities and continues to ripple into and economically impact many sub-industry segments. For example, according to the Center for Transportation Research, in 1999 over 200 million container moves took place across the world maritime ports, and the forecast suggests strong growth in the coming decade. In addition, according to the Intermodal Association of North America, the leading trade group, 2004 marks the year that container freight passed coal as the number one source of railroad revenue in the United States. The positive statistics just go on and on, regardless of which data one chooses to analyze.
It's a significant piece of your history, your heritage and your futureģģ..
The truck rental business, a version of equipment leasing, traces its history to shortly after WWII. The United States was experiencing vast industrial growth. During this time Americas' love of the automobile was born, and the United States blossomed into a highly mobile society. People were no longer restricted by geography to realize their dreams of better jobs and retirement locations; they could just pick up and move! It was about this time that a man named L.S. Shoen saw a need to rent trailers to families so that they could pick up and move conveniently, and without the expense of hiring full service labor. He believed that there was an economic opportunity to build a nationwide company by providing the niche service, but, like all small companies he needed capital to invest in more trailers to respond to the consumer demand. So, he decided to turn to friends and neighbors for investment capital. Shoen set up the agreements that allowed the investors to own the equipment while he managed and rented it. The investor received rental income and profited from the arrangement while Shoen received a management fee on rentals. Today, this business is known as Uhaul Corporation. UHAUL is one of the largest equipment rental businesses in the U.S. and rents their equipment to hundreds of thousands of customers every year from over 15 thousand locations. They are also the largest yellow page advertiser in the United States and are ranked among the top largest self storage owner/operators, serving a very large market. To see a photo and more details of the Uhaul history, go to this link: Uhaul. But there are a number of consumer problems in the rental of trucks, namely safety, that the ContainerRental.com network eliminates to provide higher quality customer service saving time, labor and money.
Shoen wasn't the only one who thought that the Equipment Leasing business had potential. Warren Buffet, a man who through savvy investments has become one of the wealthiest men in the world, also saw the equipment leasing business to be a smart investment. Apparently, his foresight paid off. Today, Buffet's company, XTRA Corporation, is one of the largest intermodal equipment-leasing providers. With an asset base of over $2 billion dollars, a worldwide infrastructure of people and facilities, and a portfolio of service and operational support second to none, the future is very bright for Buffet's investment here. Buffet, who makes his living uncovering lucrative opportunities invested in equipment leasing because he knew there was a future in itģ.and guess what, he was very right, just as we believe that your future is just as bright as an Equipment Leasing Partner with us. Besides, 1 share in Buffets' company, Berkshire Hathaway trades in the 10s of thousands of dollars. But, with Buffets addition of Bill Gates to the Board of Directors in December 2004, it would probably turn out a good investment. But the ContainerRental.com investment threshold is much lower, ideal for smaller investors!
Another bit of history that is critical in understanding why equipment leasing has become such a successful business is the story about someone who revolutionized how we think about transporting goods, Malcolm McLean. McLean was in the trucking business and had an idea to place containers on ships, and move freight up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The idea behind this was that as the ship reached destinations his trucks could pick up and deliver the freight more efficiently by reducing trucks from the road and driver idle time due to piece meal loading requirements. The use of containers on ships decreased the amount of labor needed to handle freight piece meal, reduced theft and damage and trucks and drivers on the road thus maximizing operating efficiency. The idea of utilizing containers in this manner sparked another source of revenue. This source of revenue came from renting containers to customers that were not quite ready for their freight. Upon physically deploying this idea, it is reported that due to the efficiencies and economies realized by converting labor and idle truck expenses to mechanized processes, in the first year of this business his company made $5.5 million dollars. This was in the 1950's! It is also reported that he sold his company in the 1970's for an estimated $700 million dollars. Today the business is known as Maersk SeaLand Shipping Lines, the largest container shipping operation in the world.
McLean's system has continued to evolve, and a number of milestones have been reached. This system is used every day in cities both large and small to move freight efficiently and safely while maintaining the integrity of the contents. It is precisely this system and its proven success of established global standards, economics, security, and efficiency that we choose to grow our company. Making this choice, to build on existing success, is our competitive edge. This strategy will ensure success, profitability and long-term growth.

Exclusive - UK business lobby makes U-turn over Scottish anti-independence campaign
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's most prominent business lobby group wants to reverse its decision to be an official campaigner against Scottish independence, after some of its members quit over its stance.
The Confederation of British Industry said in a statement it had applied to cancel its registration as a supporter of the anti-independence campaign ahead of September's referendum, after Reuters reported earlier that it had done so.
"Although the decision to register ... was taken in good faith ... it has inadvertently given the impression that the CBI is a political entity," its director general John Cridland said.
"We have always said that the referendum is a decision for the Scottish people and we're not telling people how to vote."
Anti-independence campaigners have had a small lead in support in recent polls, with one from ICM on April 20 reporting 39 percent support for independence, 42 percent against and 19 percent undecided.
The CBI, the leading group in Britain representing large employers, has consistently opposed independence, saying it would cause uncertainty over currency, taxation, financial regulation and European Union membership.
Cridland said the CBI would continue to raise questions, but that it no longer believed that official registration as a campaigner was needed for it to carry out its normal functions.
The CBI's registration was condemned by some of its members who said the group had not sought their sign-off over a decision that could jeopardise their neutrality in the increasingly bitter debate.
The trade body's stance has already damaged relations with the pro-independence administration in Edinburgh.
"This astonishing attempt at a U-turn by the CBI ... leaves them without a single shred of credibility, which has been left in tatters," a Scottish government source said.
The main pro-independence business group, Business for Scotland, said the CBI was now "a public laughing stock" and urged all the CBI's Scottish members to quit the group.
Several organisations - including the BBC and Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen universities - have already resigned from or suspended their membership of the CBI because they did not wish to be linked to the anti-independence campaign.
Organisations or individuals must register as campaigners if they want to spend more than 10,000 pounds on campaigning during the official referendum period.
The Electoral Commission, which oversees the referendum, said it was too early to say whether the CBI's application to deregister would be successful.
The CBI said it would argue that its registration was void.
"The application should not have been made. It did not have approval under the CBI's normal corporate governance procedures and was not signed by an authorised signatory," it said.
The CBI says it speaks on behalf of 190,000 businesses across Britain, and that CBI members in Scotland employ around 500,000 people, about a quarter of the private-sector workforce.

And then some DAYS later we learn that the BBC are members. Not only that but they do not resign, as STV did, to remain neutral: Instead, incredibly, they remain members in suspension!
Dragged out in to the cold light of day the BBC are now shown and proven to be complicit with the No campaign and so its reputation for impartiality is shattered. How can the BBC now be seen as a credible source of unbiased information for the referendum? If they can't be trusted on this, what else can they be trusted to report on?
The whole point of the TV licence fee is that the BBC is not behest to corporate interests and takes a neutral line in its reports. For the former, how does that square up with its membership of a group representing big business? In the latter they have not only failed, they have not even tried, indeed they have been obediently repeating the CBI's anti-independence propaganda at will whilst playing down or simply ignoring pro-independence articles: This fact was academically researched by UWS. Since they have not kept to their charter, the TV tax should be repealed.
The vested interests are being revealed and the desirability of that picture is found wanting.

It's long been known that artists, for the most part, aren't motivated by money. But most would like the recognition they feel they deserve. Artist David Ellis, an outdoor painter and sculptor in New York City, has discovered how to get that recognition. You can't let your piece wait for people in a museum, you take your work to them.
For the past few weeks Ellis, 43, along with his assistants, has been painting a mural in Ralph's, an old bodega in Brooklyn. His commission? Coffee and tobacco. Other works by Ellis have fetched tens of thouhsands of dollars but Ellis says his payback for this piece is community.
"And people will see it here," Ellis told The New York Times. "Man, I could get 50 grand for something like this for a museum, but nobody would see it. But here, at least 500 people pass through each day."
Ellis sees the mural as his way of giving back to the neighborhood where he has crashed with friends on and off for 10 years. It's also his way of giving back to the owner of the bodega, Ralph Jawad, who has leant Ellis juice and cigarettes for years.
Though Jawad was skeptical of Ellis' artistic capabilities at first, even calling him a "nut," he was quickly convinced after seeing a piece Ellis did in DUMBO, Brooklyn. That's when Jawad asked Ellis to paint his bodega.

Finally, from a security perspective, they should banish Quicktime.

Jones Defends Work of School District With Increased Funds
Accountability is the word being used in Juneau, currently, when it comes to the funding of education. Both Governor Sean Parnell and some in the House Leadership have openly stated that they want to see more accountability from the school districts before giving them additional funds. Some feel that recent increases to education funding have not improved student performance. Kenai Peninsula Borough Assistant Superintendent Dave Jones disagrees with those thoughts.
SB171, calling for an increase in the base student allocation over the next three years, has passed out of the Senate. It will be heard by the House of Representatives, next. Governor Sean Parnell has already said he doesn't support the bill.

Do Travel Writers Go to Hell?: A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, & Professional Hedonismby Thomas Kohnstamm
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For those who think that travel guidebooks are the gospel truth.
The waitress suggests that I come back after she closes down the restaurant, around midnight. We end up having sex in a chair and then on one of the tables in the back corner. I pen a note in my Moleskine that I will later recount in the guidebook review, saying that the restaurant "is a pleasant surprise...and the table service is friendly."
WANTED: Travel Writer for Brazil
Decisiveness: the ability to desert your entire previous life–including well-salaried office job, attractive girlfriend, and basic sanity for less than minimum wage
Attention to detail: the skill to research northeastern Brazil, including transportation, restaurants, hotels, culture, customs, and language, while juggling sleep deprivation, nonstop nightlife, and excessive alcohol consumption
Creativity: the imagination to write about places you never actually visit
Resourcefulness: utilizing persuasion, seduction, and threats, when necessary, to secure a place to stay for the evening once your pitiable advance has been (mis)spent
Resilience: determination to overcome setbacks such as bankruptcy, disillusionment, and an ill-fated one-night stand with an Austrian flight attendant
As Kohnstamm comes to personal terms with each of these job requirements, he unveils the underside of the travel industry and its often-harrowing effect on writers, travelers, and the destinations themselves. Moreover, he invites us into his world of compromising and scandalous situations in one of the most exciting countries as he races against an impossible deadline.
"Kohnstamm brings more than just anecdotes....Notable for its spirited prose and insightful exploration of the less-romantic side of travel writing. Kohnstamm is one to watch." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[T]he best-written, funniest book of travel literature since Phaic Tan." Philadelphia Inquirer
With a gonzo writing style and adventurer persona, Kohnstamm takes readers beyond his often questionable guidebook entries to reveal a disillusioned young man struggling — and often failing — to make good on an impossible assignment.

Thomas Kohnstamm was born in 1975 and graduated from Stanford University with an M.A. in Latin American studies. He lives in Seattle.

Final Mapping the Heavens
This Thursday, my friend Dave Holmes and I will present our final "Mapping the Heavens" at the UCB here in LA. We've been doing it for about three years and it's been amazing fun. Over the years, our guests have included:
Steve Agee
Megan Amram
Kasey Anderson
Maria Bamford
Greg Behrendt
Matt Besser
Matt Braunger
Gabe Delahaye
Lena Dunham
Billy Eichner
Josh Fadem
Jason Falkner

Joey Santiago & David Lovering of the Pixies
Paul Scheer
Peter Serafinowicz
Laura Silverman
Sarah Silverman
Jenny Slate
Brody Stevens
Andree Vermeulen
That's not even half of the people, by any stretch of the imagination. If I forgot someone, it's because I have a three month old and a two year old (both born during the run of Mapping the Heavens) and they are eating my memories. It isn't because every single guest wasn't amazing in their own way. Mostly; some sucked, but such is life. I sucked at the show sometimes. Dave never did because he's amazing and brilliant and my oldest friend in comedy. I am grateful to have shared a stage with him for eleven years now, the last three on the stage of the UCB, whose original members, Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh, inspired both Dave and I to give comedy a shot.
Thank you also to the UCB's crack staff, and to United States Senator, Michele Bachmann.
