10 Weird Things We Did To Our Dolls As Kids
Kids are a curious, experimental bunch. We have all these ideas in our minds that we, ourselves, can't really act out, so we use our big ol' kid imaginations and use our Barbies as guinea pigs. I'm not just talking dress up, okay? Let's be real with ourselves here: If you were to go and find your old dolls, how many of them are going to be naked? Answer: Just about all of them.
What Would Barbie Look Like If She Were Proportionally Correct?
"Barbie has been the center of controversy since she was invented in 1959. The thin, busty and leggy blonde became a hugely popular toy, but her body shape has been criticized forever because she's not quite proportional. And by not quite I mean not at all.
In fact, if Barbie were a real-life person, she would be "6 feet tall with a 39″ bust, 18″ waist and 33″ hips." She would be facing serious medical issues and would basically tip over if she tried to walk on those tiny feet.
Because of the controversies over Barbie's size, she has changed a bit over the years. But she's still a seriously disproportionate doll. While a lot of people are trying to show what Barbie would look like as a human, illustrator Nickolay Lamm is trying to depict what Barbie as a doll would look like if she were proportionate."
We've put together so many cool outfits in the last few weeks inspired by everyone from Barbie to Taylor to Selena to rom-com stars!

I have mixed feelings about found object art. As an artist, I love the feeling of gathering things from the ground— it's calming. I also think that it's great to re-purpose things rather than throw them away. But, when it comes to found art pieces, I am usually not all that impressed. They often look like, hey, I just found a bunch of unrelated objects and hot glued them together. There isn't anything wrong with hot gluing a bunch of unrelated objects together, but, I feel like there is so much potential when it comes to using found objects.
All that being said, I absolutely adore the work of Sayaka Ganz, an incredibly talented artist who works with found objects and scrap metal. She is inspired by the Japanese Shinto idea that all objects and organisms have spirits. "I was taught in kindergarten that objects that are discarded before their time weep at night inside the trash bin. This became a vivid image in my mind."
I am very impressed by the fluidity of her work, despite being made of so many different parts whose only unifying characteristic in many cases is shared color. I like the idea of found object art, and I hope that my own work will be able to reflect the same fluidity of these pieces.

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge is becoming to be linked to more and more trade rumors and the latest says that Aldridge has two teams in mind if he is to be shopped out of the Pacific Northwest. If Aldridge is to be traded, the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks are to possibilities.
While Aldridge is interested in the Bulls if a trade goes down, he would also be open to a deal that would send him to the Mavericks. After all, who wouldn't want to join a contender, especially if they are able to land Dwight Howard.
Per Chris Haynes of CSN Northwest:
The source also said Aldridge wouldn't mind being dealt to the Dallas Mavericks to play in his hometown with the rising belief Dallas has a shot at Dwight Howard. Or to the Los Angeles Clippers, if a scenario such as that makes sense for the Clippers.
If the Mavericks could find a way to add Aldridge and Howard, they would have an incredible young front court.
Chances of a trade for Aldridge ultimately going down don't seem the most promising, but Portland has received their fair share of offers for Aldridge so they could soon be hit with one that would be too good to turn down.

Treatment for Heart Valve Disease
What Are the Pros and Cons of Each Type of Heart Valve?
- Mechanical valves. The advantage to mechanical heart valves is their sturdiness. They are designed to last for many years. There are also drawbacks. Due to the artificial material involved, people who receive these valves will need to take life-long blood-thinner medication (anticoagulants) to prevent clots from forming in the mechanical valve. These clots can increase the risk for a stroke. Also, some people report a valve ticking sound. It is the sound of the valve leaflets opening and closing.
- Biological valves. The advantage of biological valves is that most people do not need to take life-long anticoagulants, unless they have other conditions (such as atrial fibrillation) that warrant it. Biologic valves, traditionally, were not considered as durable as mechanical valves, especially in younger people. Previously available biologic valves usually needed to be replaced after about 10 years. However, recent studies show that some biologic valves may last at least 17 years without decline in function. This represents a new milestone in the durability of biologic valves.
- Homograft valves. Homografts are ideal heart valves for aortic valve replacement, especially when the aortic root is diseased or there is infection. The heart's natural anatomy is preserved and patients do not need to take life-long anticoagulants. However, the limited availability is a drawback in some settings.
Are There Non-Surgical Options for Heart Valve Disease?
There are alternatives to traditional heart valve surgery. Balloon valvotomy is used to increase the opening of a narrowed (stenotic) valve. It is used for select patients who have mitral valve stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve) with symptoms, select patients who have aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) but are not able to undergo surgery, and select patients with pulmonic stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonic valve).
What Happens During Balloon Valvotomy?
During a balloon valvotomy, a specially designed catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin and guided to the heart. The tip is directed inside the narrowed valve. Once there, a tiny balloon is inflated and deflated several times to widen the valve opening. Once the cardiologist is satisfied the valve has been widened enough, the balloon is removed.
During the procedure, the cardiologist may perform an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to get a better picture of the valve.
New non-surgical percutaneous procedures to treat valvular regurgitation (leaky valves) are being tested and may provide additional catheter-based treatment options for valve disease in the future.

I do not understand why so many think there has to be a creator OR evolution? Personally, I believe in both. Quite honestly, to say there is no God is like saying there is no starting point. If the Universe is constantly expanding and creatures evolving, then those two things alone prove there must be a starting point: aka - God.

Sorry I don't get on here anymore,
But my life is so good now there's no reason for me to spend it on here. I have the two best friends the world could offer that laugh with me and adventure with me. I have a boyfriend I've known my whole life and makes me smile at all hours of the day. He is easy going, funny, and perfect (literally. Who else gets a full ride scholarship to college? Like, no one.). I'm going to a wonderful college in the fall and I adore my roommate. I have a wonderful, well paying job. I know I don't have hundreds of followers, but I hope those are listening get out there and life the life you want. I did, and I've never been so happy in my life.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry refuses to take Pentagon calls
Thursday, February 20, 2014
WASHINGTON D.C. - The Pentagon said Thursday that the US military's calls to their Ukrainian counterparts have gone unanswered after at least 86 people were killed in deadly clashes in Kiev over the last 48 hours.
"We haven't been able to connect with anybody from the defense ministry in Ukraine," said Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby while speaking to reporters.
According to Kirby, the Pentagon has been trying to phone their counterparts for the entire week.
Kirby's announcement comes as the White House continues to call on the Ukrainian military to remain neutral in the conflict.
"We urge the Ukrainian military not to get involved in a conflict that can and should be resolved by political means," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney in a statement released Thursday.

- This scene does not have any comments yet!
Gunnar takes his cock out to the outside world, because there's nothing quite like him bringing out a massive dong and letting his hands work all the way around it. It's a rather hot scene that is going to keep on getting better and better as he strokes it. His dick is about to explode when he finally brings his hands down to his ass and starts playing with his hole. There's nothing like a bit of anal play to really get him started, as he shakes, shudders and moans in absolute pleasure at the masturbation he's having.

Lynn Beebe M.A. '02, Jan. 22, 2012. Resident of Capitola and a longtime county educator, basketball coach, and mentor to aspiring college students, she died peacefully after a prolonged struggle with cancer. She was 47. Serving young people was a recurring theme in Lynn's life. Most recently she worked as a guidance counselor at Scotts Valley Middle School. In her nearly 30-year career in education, Lynn served as a parks and rec leader and program supervisor; substitute teacher; instructor of gifted and talented children; single-subject classroom educator; basketball coach and athletic director; and junior high guidance counselor. In recent years Beebe also served as a private consultant and mentor to high-school students seeking admission to the university of their choice. She had a near-perfect record of getting students admitted to their preferred college.
Lynn was born in San Jose on Aug. 10, 1964, the youngest of four children and the only daughter of John W. and Janice M. Beebe of Aptos. When Lynn's parents brought the new baby sister "Dana" home to meet her siblings, her three older brothers did not approve of her name and flatly refused to call her that, instead grafting an "ie" to her middle name, Lynn. The name Dana was rarely uttered again, and in Lynn's adulthood it eventually shriveled to just the letter D. Family members were admonished not to call her "Lynnie" in front of her students, who only knew her as Ms. or Miss Beebe. Growing up with three sports-obsessed brothers, Lynn had no choice but to love athletics. And with a father and three brothers all standing over 6-feet-2 inches tall, Lynn, at 6-foot 3, also had no choice but to be tall. But it was not always easy being the tallest kid in the school, and there were times when she was teased unmercifully, an experience that shaped her reasons for getting into teaching and softened the way she related to young people. As a child Lynn loved animals and was active in Girl Scouts and 4H, raising lambs. She attended Soquel Elementary, Branciforte Junior High, and Soquel High schools, graduating in 1982. At Soquel High Lynn blossomed into a standout basketball player, leading the Knights to numerous championships, and making the all-league team in 1982. She was a dominant scorer and rebounder, with a variety of low-post moves honed on the family basketball court with her brothers. In 2010, Soquel High retired Lynn's number 32 jersey and it hangs permanently in the school's gymnasium. Until 2010, Lynn was the tallest girl ever to play hoops at Soquel High. After graduating from Soquel High School, Lynn continued her academic and athletic pursuits at Cal State University Fresno. Persistent leg injuries derailed her basketball career at Fresno State, but not her academics, as she received a BA degree in family studies in 1988, and a multiple-subject teaching credential in 1991. Lynn completed her student teaching obligations with the Fresno and Pajaro Valley unified school districts before starting her career in the Scotts Valley school district as a substitute teacher. She joined the full-time staff at Scotts Valley Middle School in 1992. Standing at 6 foot 3, Beebe could be an imposing figure in front of the blackboard. Her middle school students considered her a tough and demanding teacher, with one describing her as seemingly "8 feet tall." Parents liked her sense of humor and the results she was getting. Each year more and more parents requested that Lynn teach their children. As a 6th grade core-subject teacher, Lynn lent stability and security to kids taking their first steps as teen. Her sense of humor was never far away. Coaching basketball was one of Lynn's loves and she was a longtime junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach of the girls' basketball teams at Harbor High School. With head coach Nick Adams, she built a formidable program that won many league championships and a section title in 1986. A number of her Harbor players went on to play college basketball, many on full-ride scholarships. Lynn began work on a master's degree in 2000, first enrolling at Cabrillo College before eventually transferring to Santa Clara University. With four years of college sports eligibility remaining, Lynn rekindled her dream of playing collegiate hoops while at Cabrillo. Her one-year return to college basketball for the Seahawks was an unqualified success as she led all state community college players in scoring, made the All-Coast Conference team and was voted the Seahawks' most valuable player. Lynn was an accomplished traveler, venturing to Europe and China, among other places. In China they had never seen such a tall woman and her height stopped traffic. She loved Hawaii and visited the islands frequently over the years. She also enjoyed the high desert of central Oregon and Lake Tahoe. Lynn chaperoned many annual school trips across the country, bravely taking groups of 8th-graders to Washington D.C. and New York City. She enjoyed music, theater and Broadway musicals and was a hardcore San Francisco Giants fan, organizing an extended-family trip to Giants spring training in 2010. Lynn credited the Giants broadcast team with helping her make it through chemo in 2009 and 2010. She watched San Francisco 49er games with her father every Sunday during football season. Lynn was especially close to her niece Alyson and her two nephews Ben and Chris, and she made it her mission to ensure each was prepared to go to college and succeed there. Her mission was two-thirds complete when she died; her two nephews are recent graduates of Cal State University San Jose and her niece is set to graduate in May from Arizona State University. Lynn was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2009. She tackled cancer with the same determination and dignity that marked her academic and athletic pursuits, repeatedly enduring grueling chemotherapy and radiation treatments as doctors at Stanford University worked to slow the highly aggressive cancer that ultimately claimed her life. She died peacefully at her family home with her loved ones by her side. Lynn is survived by her parents, John W. "Jack" Beebe and Janice M. Beebe of Aptos; brother Greg Beebe and sister-in-law Monique Vairo of Rio del Mar; brother David Beebe '81 and sister-in-law Jennifer Beggs Beebe; brother Michael Beebe of Soquel; nephew Benjamin Beebe and his wife Tarin Gambello of Scotts Valley; nephew Christopher Beebe of Santa Cruz; her niece Alyson Beebe of Phoenix, AZ.; and her cousin, Michaela Wieser of Munich, Germany. Lynn is also survived by her dear friend Kristy Keyser of Scotts Valley, who never left Lynn's side during her illness. Lynn is also survived by her eccentric cat Rocco, who now lives with her nephew. Lynn was preceded in death by her grandparents Dolly and William Rodgers of Los Gatos and Margaret and Howard McCaughna of Monrovia; and her aunt and uncle, Margit and Daniel McCaughna of Munich, Germany.

Jaime Laguette-Stevens '02, loving wife, beloved daughter and cherished sister passed away on January 16 at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California after a courageous fight against cancer. She was 30.
Jaime, a Santa Barbara resident and native, is survived by her husband Spencer Stevens; her mother and father, Gerri and Stephen Laguette; her sisters, Robyn Laguette and Janelle Laguette-Skei; her grandmother, Brenda Johnson; uncle, Von Johnson and brother-in-law, Evan Skei, and of course her beloved dog, Charlie.
Jaime's last evening was spent with her husband and immediate family. She was a fighter to the end and demonstrated strength, courage and peace by conveying her love and appreciation to her family. Her courage never faltered, her spirit never broke and she maintained her defiant sense of humor to the last.
Jaime Laguette-Stevens was born on March 27, 1979 in Santa Barbara, California. She attended La Patera and El Rancho grade schools. The consummate competitor, Jaime excelled in academics, swimming, and tennis.
She is a 1997 Dos Pueblos High School graduate where she lettered in tennis, participated in student council and was elected to the 1997 Homecoming Court. Jaime attended Santa Clara University and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies.
Throughout her academic career Jaime demonstrated a tenacious drive in all aspects of her life that allowed her to excel in all her endeavors. While a full-time student, Jaime achieved Nordstrom's North American Sales Record.
Jaime's hard work and determination earned her enormous respect and recognition in her career in the footwear industry. She held several key positions, including Vice President of Operations at a local footwear company.
It was during this time that Jaime met and married the love of her life, Spencer Stevens. Spencer was working as a teacher at the Thacher School. They met on a blind date and from then on remained inseparable. They married on July 21, 2006.
Her entrepreneurial spirit found an outlet in partnership with her sister Robyn Laguette. In 2007, the sisters opened a stylish boutique and nail salon, Michele Wilder. For all who had the pleasure of meeting Jaime, her sense of style was her calling card. She possessed an elegance that accentuated her charm.
Her 2008 diagnosis of colon cancer spurred a brave and inspirational fight against the disease. Jaime immediately developed a network of "cancer warriors" that included people living with cancer, health care professionals and charity participants. Her defiance to be any less than herself was her hallmark.
After her initial diagnosis, Jaime adopted the inspirational mantra of Kicking Ass Taking Names, Repeat. KATNR! became the battle cry of her circle of supporters.
As part of Jaime's courageous fight, she worked to increase the awareness of cancer in the local community, support her peers' own battles against cancer and raised money for cancer research. Many of her fellow supporters were people she never met, people on colon cancer related message boards on a similar journey fighting a similar battle. Jaime also used Facebook to share her story with family, friends and strangers. Jaime's perspective during her illness was an inspiration to many as she fought very hard, demonstrating amazing physical strength and a spiritual maturity. She continuously comforted her friends and family, allaying their fears and focusing their efforts.
Jaime's charitable efforts were focused on the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara. She participated in an informative video produced by the Cancer Center to increase awareness and charitable contributions. One of Jaime's favorite events was the Cancer Center's Annual Walk Run. Last year, her team, Team I Heart Coco, took home the trophy for fundraising efforts! Her family and friends will continue her endeavors.

Alejandro García-Rivera, faculty member at the Jesuit School of Theology, passed away on Dec. 13, 2010 after a long illness. He inspired many to think freely, inquire uninhibitedly, and believe wholly. Originally from Cuba, his life path took many twists and turns – from a Boeing engineer trained in physics, to Lutheran minister and social activist, to esteemed scholar and author who embraced the Jesuit way of life.
García-Rivera joined the faculty of the Jesuit School of Theology in 1993 as a professor of systematic theology. His scholarship as a theologian bridged the disciplines of science and religion. "I believe wholeheartedly that we must begin to see the interconnectedness of the world, to grasp its complexity, even if our intellectual traditions have conditioned us to seek a different type of grasping," he said. He often used the term "interlacing," which he described as the artful weaving of various perspectives across disciplines to gain an insight greater than any of its components. "Everything is interconnected, and I believe God gave me such a broad journey in life so I could see the connections," he said. García-Rivera was one of the founders of a joint JST-SCU colloquium on science, art, and religion with colleagues from JST, the SCU School of Engineering, and the SCU College of Arts and Sciences. Earlier this year, García-Rivera received the GTU's highest honor presented to a teacher, the Sarlo Excellence in Teaching Award, as well as a President's Special Recognition Award at Santa Clara. He was also one of the most important voices in the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States. Beloved as a teacher at the JST's Instituto Hispano summer training institute for Hispanic ministry, he dedicated much of his life to supporting marginal communities. García-Rivera always started a course he taught in Theology and Human Suffering by saying, "It's hard to teach a class where everybody's an expert…because who hasn't suffered?" For García-Rivera, however, suffering wasn't all about gloom, unpleasantness, and pain. He saw beauty in suffering. Because if you can't see that, he said, "there's just one alternative left … and that's despair."
Here is one of García-Rivera's favorite poems, written by Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled, (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose Beauty is past change:
Praise Him.
William A. Vicik '07 died Oct. 10, 2009. He is survived by his parents, Frederic and Linda Vicik.
Michael J. Percy '07 (June 4, 1947 - May 30, 2012) Resident of Milpitas, Mike was born the son of Oran and Alta Percy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He earned a bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley and a master's degree from San Jose State University. After a long career in urban planning he retired from the City of Mountain View to pursue his law degree from Santa Clara University and ultimately started his own law practice. He is survived by his wife Katheryn, sons James (Danielle) and Matthew (Erin), and grandchildren Abigail, Owen, Isabella and Megan.
David A. Godinez '07, M.A. '10 of Morgan Hill was born in 1966 and died on Feb. 17, 2013.
Brian Edward Drocco '08, a resident of Sunnyvale, was taken from us in a car accident Feb. 24. No words can describe this loss for his loving parents, Carol and Dan, and his beloved brother, Jeff. His smile and his laughter graced our lives. It was too short a time. Brian grew up in Cupertino, attended St Francis High School in Mt. View, and graduated from Santa Clara University in 2008 with a degree in electrical engineering. He was a member of the first, very successful Solar Decathlon team at SCU. Upon graduation, Brian and a few other engineers from that team began a startup company, Valence Energy. Valence was recently acquired by Serious Energy, where Brian was currently working.
Brian loved technology, loved music, and loved being a part of Silicon Valley.
Most of all, he had a joyful optimism for life that he shared with his family and countless friends. Brian, may your marvelous, baritone voice join the choirs of angels in heaven.
Steven John Hardt-English '08, resident of San Jose, died suddenly on Jan. 17. He was 29 years old. He lost a brave 3-year fight against a disease he was so close to beating. He would make progress, accomplish so much, and then be overcome again. He was a kind, thoughtful and intelligent young man who had so much he wanted to do. We fought together as a family, yet ultimately were powerless. We miss him so much. Steven attended Booksin Elementary, Willow Glen Middle School, and Willow Glen and Valley Christian High Schools. He went on to attend the University of California at Santa Barbara and graduated from Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business in 2008 with a degree in finance. Professionally, he was most recently an assistant financial planner at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in San Jose. He developed affiliations with Rotaract of Silicon Valley and Salvation Army Silicon Valley. He was a member of SCU Leavey School of Business Alumni Network, Phi Kappa Theta Honor Society, and a California Scholarship Federation lifetime member. For 10 years, Steve enjoyed playing ice hockey in the Sharks Ice adult league and developed a love of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in which he assisted with youth and adult classes and private instruction. He is survived by his sister, Kimberly English of San Mateo, his mother and father, Michael and Pamela English of Truckee, Calf., his aunts and uncles, Peter and Kathy English, Stuart English, Scott Hardt and Leslie Wright of Los Angeles, and his great aunts and uncle, Helen Tish, Mary Rohde, Mary and John Hardt and many cousins.

WhatIWore: Looking for a fun and easy project that you can complete while cozy on your couch? Make your own jeweled knit hat, no knitting skills required! Read on for the simple steps to make your own glam beanie.
DIY Jeweled Knit Hat
DIY Chevron Striped Tee
WhatIWore: One of my must have closet staples is a heather grey v-neck tee. They're my go to weekend top and I have half a dozen in my tee shirt drawer. For today's DIY project, I'll update this basic (from American Apparel) with chevron stripes.
- Laundered Tee Shirt
- ScotchBlue Painter's Tape (I used 2" for this project!)
- Simply Spray Fabric Paint
- Tee Shirt Form or Cardboard
- Tailor's Chalk
- Ruler
- Scissors
To start, you'll want to stabilize your tee and create a barrier between the front and back layers. I used a piece of form board cut a bit larger than the width of my tee. Craft stores usually carry cardboard tee shirt forms as well. Next, align your side seams up with the edge of the board and pin the sleeves to the back. Your tee should be taut but not excessively stretched out.
Now you'll also want to tape off any areas that you don't want paint on. I did the neckline, sleeves and bottom hem of my shirt.
For the chevron design, I used tailor's chalk to help create guidelines down the center of my tee and 4.25" to either side. Depending on the size tape you use, you can play around with more wide or narrow spacing.
It's time to tape your zig zag! This step required a little patience to get all of the chevrons to match up at the points. I used a scrap piece of tape between lines for spacing, but there are a few spots where I had to space an 1/8" to a 1/4" bigger. Use a pair of scissors to shape off your chevron points. Once your taping is complete, press tape edges down firmly.
Next is the fun part! Time to spray paint! Either outdoors or in a well ventilated space, start spraying your shirt. Start with a light coat and blot excess paint from the tape. Repeat until you've achieved your desired look.
Once dry, carefully peel away the Painter's Tape. Check out those super crisp lines!
And there you have it! From start to finish, this project took me 3 hours plus drying time. The tee and paint combinations and patterns are endless! If you like this project, check out the striped sun hat and American flag shorts I made using Painter's Tape!
DIY Glitter Sunglasses
WhatIWore: This is a guest post by my intern Val. She had all of the supplies on hand for a quick, easy and free DIY! Take it away, Val!
If you're anything like me, you probably have more than enough pairs of sunglasses, with most of them being pretty similar. This is an easy way to upcycle a pair of sunglasses that is either a little more worn than you would like or just plain boring.
- Sunglasses
- Mod Podge
- Glitter
- Painter's Tape
Begin by taping off all areas you don't want to be painted. I liked the idea of covering only the top half, but you could do the whole frame or even a geometric pattern.
Next, mix your glitter with mod podge. I like very fine glitter for this project because the chunkier glitter looks too "arts and crafts" in this case. You should add glitter until the mod podge is saturated. Then go ahead and apply. Wait until it's dry and then repeat until desired coverage is reached. I only used three coats, but it may be different for different colors and types of glitter.
This is a great way to take a pair of basic cheap sunglasses and turn them into something fun! I absolutely love my pair of retro glamour inspired shades. There are a lot of variations you can use such as, glitter placement, the color(s), and the amount used. Have fun!

Easily 2012.
Not just because of the quality of her opponents, but also because of her own excellent tennis.
This year was also quite special. Beat two top ten players and two former Roland Garros champions to claim the title. Not to mention she played 3 matches that went to the final set.

text: A birth defect is a developmental abnormality that occurs while the baby is still growing in the mother's womb. Some birth defects can easily be seen while others require specific tests for diagnosis. While a large portion of abnormalities happen for unknown reasons, genetics, alcohol use and exposure to certain medications are contributing factors to many. If the abnormality is one that is visible, plastic surgery can usually help to correct the defect. Warren Clinic Plastic Surgery offers a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for children with congenital and developmental abnormalities.

I graduate BCT tomorrow. Then head to AIT Saturday. I still can't believe it, and yet here I am chilling in Class B ASUs with my family. Maybe I'll describe all I've been through during the past two months later, but honestly I don't know where to begin. I've learned and grown so much. It's a really great feeling. I can't wait to continue my training and see where I go from here. Okay, that is all.

What is VoIP?
With costs of telephone and Internet service on the rise, many are looking for ways to save money. One option is to forgo a traditional phone line in favor of VoIP service. While saving money on a phone bill is appealing, many don't know what VoIP service is or how it is used.
What is VoIP?
VoIP is an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol. Instead of using a traditional analog phone line, VoIP technology lets people make voice telephone calls via an Internet connection and bypass the telephone company completely. VoIP technology turns a user's voice into a digital signal that is sent through the Internet to the person being called. When the digital signal reaches the person on the other end, it is converted back to a traditional telephone signal. While some VoIP providers may limit users to calling only those also using VoIP technology, others provide calls to anyone with a telephone number.
Internet users can make calls using VoIP technology in three different ways: directly from a computer, by using a special VoIP phone, or with a traditional phone connected to a specially designed adapter. When using a VoIP phone or a phone that's connected to a VoIP adapter, the phone will ring, just as a traditional phone, when a call is incoming. Those who make calls directly from the computer are alerted to incoming calls by special software that is given to users by the service provider.
The main advantage to using VoIP technology is that it saves the cost of paying for both a traditional phone line and an Internet connection. Disadvantages include not being able to access traditional 911 services in case of an emergency and the fact that, depending on the provider, it might not work during a power outage.
VoIP Providers
As VoIP services have become more popular, a number of providers have begun offering the service. Some of the top VoIP service providers for residential users include Phone Power, ITP, RingCentral, Lingo, Phone.com, Vonage, Net2Phone, 8x8, Skype and Comcast.
What is Mobile VoIP?
With consumers relying on their smartphones more than ever, many are using Mobile VoIP services to cut down on costs. Instead of using the traditional wireless network to make telephone calls, Mobile VoIP allows calls to be made over the Internet using a smartphone. In order to use Mobile VoIP technology, you must have a smartphone that is compatible with the VoIP service provider you choose. Some of the top Mobile VoIP service providers are Yeigo, Fring, TruPhone and Vopium.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday praised prime minister-designate Narendra Modi for inviting Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony on Monday evening.
"This is good, we appreciate this. The way Modi has invited was very bold step taken by him. There were many hindrances, but both have overcome this, and we welcome this move. We expected that this is not a formality of scripted diplomacy," Mufti said.
"We expect that Modi has got a big mandate and Nawaz Sharif also has a mandate. So, they make proper use of it. If the relation goes well, then, it will bring progress to SAARC countries as well." she added.
Sharif has accepted India's invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Modi.
Television channels had earlier quoted Sharif's media advisor Tariq Azim, as saying that Sharif will fly to New Delhi for the event.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Sartaz Aziz is also expected to accompany him.
India has invited leaders of all South Asian countries, including Nawaz Sharif to Modi's oath-taking ceremony scheduled for May 26.
The swearing-in ceremony, to be held at the forecourt of the historic Rashtrapati Bhavan, is likely to be attended by as many as 3,000 guests, the report added.

What makes a robust sustainability report?
Sustainability reports face big challenges before they uniformly meet investor needs
By Steve O'Neill | CFO UK | Published 16:43, 05 January 12
Initial attempts at sustainability reporting could arguably be written off as 'greenwash' – a company painting a rosy picture of its charitable activities, for instance. But things have moved on quite considerably from there. Sustainability reports may be in their infancy but their future value shouldn't be underestimated.
"There's growing momentum for a move away from the marketing message to more tangible metric-based reporting," says Malcolm Preston, PwC's global head of sustainability services.
He sees increased "granularity" and "fact-based data" on what different aspects of sustainability mean to individual companies. These are just some of the essential requirements of any sustainability report that is to be of real use to investors and other stakeholders.
Gordon Wilson, a senior manager within KPMG's climate change and sustainability practice, emphasises the need to link sustainability reports to overall corporate strategy. But there are other questions to ask, he says, when assessing the quality of a report: "Is it fair and balanced? Has it made an appropriate assessment of what should be included in the scope?" This scope might differ, for example, from that applied to the financial statements, potentially extending further up and down the value chain.
Wilson also highlights the importance of metrics and key performance indicators, but stresses that these need to be sensible. For example, he says: "In a failing business it's no good to say that the carbon footprint has gone down year on year in absolute terms – because so has your business." Intensity metrics may be more relevant – taking account of an organisation's growth or shrinkage.
Consistency is another vital quality required for effective sustainability reporting. "More could be done in terms of consistency of reporting and comparables from one year to the next," says Bozena Jankowska, global head of sustainability research at RCM, a global asset management company within Allianz Global Investors.
Comparable data
Jankowska is frustrated by companies that change the metrics they report in successive sustainability reports. For investors, "it's all about trends and improvements from year to year". Effective analysis of these trends clearly requires consistent metrics.
This is a point also emphasised by Steve Waygood, head of sustainability research and engagement at Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc. "We ideally look for three-to-five-year trend data, and an explanation from the company, where the trends are poor, what they are going to do about those," he says.
Greater standardisation could help investors analyse corporate data and compare performance. "Some core indicators are sufficiently business relevant, sufficiently often, to require standard setting," says Waygood. These could include greenhouse gas emissions, and health and safety data.
"Even within the oil and gas sector, trying to compare that data on an international basis is really difficult," he says.
"We may see industry groups getting together and agreeing on a common set of industry standards, even if they are not regulated, in order get some consistency," suggests PwC's Preston. "But that will be a long process, because everybody wants to report in a way they think is fair and right for their business. What one company thinks is fair and right, another might not."
Ideally, global coordination on any such standards is desired. "It would be a real shame if we ended up, for example, with eight different ways of reporting carbon across different parts of the world, with listed companies having to report in different ways in different territories, then trying to consolidate that information. That's not a good outcome. It would be lovely if we had global standards. But don't underestimate the challenge," says Preston.
