Should I get a breast reduction because I feel self-conscious?
I'm seventeen years old and I'm a 34D and I'm only a size UK 8. I really want to get a breast reduction because I'm very serious about dancing and having big breasts isn't exactly good for dancing and just gets in the way. They make me extremely self-conscious. So much that I can't even wear a bikini in public. In dancing I can't even wear the costumes I'm supposed to because I just cant take it and my breasts make me feel fat. Is it worth getting a breast reduction to a 32B?
It sounds like you have already answered your own question. A better question might be "What are the long term consequences of having a breast reduction?" You will have scars after surgery and the ability to breast feed at a latter date may be impaired. Pregnancy's and extreme weight gain &/ or loss may require you to have additional breast surgery such as a repeat breast reduction or a breast lift ( mastopexy ). In terms of final breast size following a breast reduction we often like to think of patients as proportional to their body size or smaller than their body size. Based upon the figures you have provide a B cup would most likely be proportional to your body size.
Consider a consult with one of the many members of the ASAPS. They are experts in Breast Surgery. You never know what you got till it is gone. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Only you and your parents, unless you are independent of them, can answer your question regarding whether it is worth getting a breast reduction. You need a consultation to find out the risks, scars, etc., as well as the cost, since this will probably be a cosmetic reduction (not large enough for most insurance companies to pay for). Once you have this knowledge, you can make an informed decision. By the way, If you are a 34, you will remain a 34 unless you switch bra brands.
Breast Reduction at a Young Age - It is not unreasonable if your breasts are excessively large or out of proportion through your body habitus. A breast reduction at that age has a higher percentage of having to reduce the breasts later in life and especially after pregnancies. However, I think it is appropriate for those with either back pain or psychological problems to undergo a breast reduction at a young age because of pure ridicule as well.
Related Questions
Can I still breast feed my future kids if I get a breast reduction?
I want to know if I qualify for a breast reduction?
Is it safe to get pierced nipples before a breast reduction?
When getting a breast reduction will there be fat pockets left on the sides (under the armpits)?
CrossFit after my breast reduction?

NAAG Issues and Research
February 2009
Headline News
- The Center for Practical Bioethics, joined by their partners the Federation of State Medical Boards and NAAG, have issued a Balanced Pain Policy Initiative Policy Brief, an outgrowth from the two Law Enforcement Roundtables that were held by the Balanced Pain Partnership Initiative. The brief suggests strategies that law enforcement personnel may use to minimize the unintended chilling effect on legitimate medical practice that the investigation and prosecution of doctors for prescription drug diversion might cause.
News from Attorneys General Offices
- Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard announced the indictment of Dr. Paul Balikian on charges of healthcare fraud and illegal prescribing of controlled substances. According to the indictment, Dr. Balikian sold his medical practice to non-physician Olena Kulakova who saw patients and used Dr. Balikian's prescription pad to order medications. Balikian returned to the clinic to practice medicine and signed off on patients' charts despite knowing that Kulakova was not a licensed doctor.
- California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced the arrest of Dr. Lisa Michelle Barden on charges of illegally obtaining prescription drugs. The Riverside District Attorney's Office filed 276 felony counts including commercial burglary, forgery, identity theft, obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, and insurance fraud. She is accused of stealing prescription pads from five local physicians and personal information from 15 of her patients. General Brown also announced last month the arrests of nursing home employees who allegedly drugged patients for the staff's convenience.
- Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced the guilty plea of the Letcher County Coroner John Cornett to seven counts of unlawfully obtaining a prescription for a controlled substance by fraud, commonly known as "doctor shopping."
- New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram announced that six defendants had pled guilty to racketeering charges for their roles in a Newark-based narcotics ring that distributed millions of dollars a year in illegal prescription painkillers. General Milgram also announced that a Livingston pharmacist had pled guilty to stealing more than $11,500 in prescription drugs by creating phony prescriptions.
- New Mexico Attorney General Gary King announced the successful prosecution of Laurel Canyon, LLC, for abuse and neglect of a resident. The company and its owners face exclusion from participation in federally funded health care programs.
- Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch announced that 30 individuals were arrested and charged with being involved in various criminal activities, including illegal distribution and sell of controlled substances.
- Funds from the $650,000 settlement with Purdue Pharma were distributed by the former Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell prior to his leaving office this month. The money was given to the Appalachian Substance Abuse Coalition for Prevention and Treatment, the Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy, and the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services.
- Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna has made the issue of prescription drug abuse a priority in his office. He will join members of SAMA, Science and Management of Addictions, on March 25 for a roundtable discussion on the issue. SAMA's Parent Advisory Council is promoting April 1 as prescription drug awareness day with the goal of encouraging consumers to regularly check their medicine cabinets for dangerous drugs just as they check their batteries in their smoke alarms.
- Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has announced a new public education campaign to raise awareness of threats posed by unsecured prescription drugs. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is sponsoring, with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, both television and radio spots designed to encourage parents and family members to secure their prescriptions.
Judicial Developments
- A Wisconsin man, Michael D. Below, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of his two-month old daughter, Madison. His attorney argued that the medical staff at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin took Madison off life support without following state law and, thus, the infant's death was caused by the hospital. The circuit court rejected that argument and the state Court of Appeals upheld the circuit court judge. Below's trial will begin on March 3.
Legislative/Regulatory Developments
- The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2001, HR 1, includes a one-year moratorium on cuts in Medicare funding for hospice programs.
- Under the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can require manufacturers to submit a risk evaluation and management strategy (REMS)when a drug first comes on the market or later if FDA becomes aware of new safety data about the drug. The FDA recently announced that it will meet with manufacturers of Schedule II narcotics on March 3 to discuss ways to reduce the problems associated with overuse of these drugs and develop a REMS for the various Schedule II drugs. Public meetings are planned for later in the spring. The FDA also announced that it was partnering with the Centers for Disease Control to support research intended to prevent unintentional drug overdoses by adults.
- Arizona SB 1311 would require physicians to answer questions from their terminally ill patients about palliative care options or refer them to someone who will.
- The Colorado legislature is considering HB 1260, the Designated Beneficiaries Bill. It would allow unmarried adults to enter into an agreement that would make each a designated beneficiary of the other. This would allow surrogate decision-making for medical purposes as well as allow inheritance through intestacy and other benefits. The form would be filled out at the County Clerk and Recorder's office.
- The Georgia legislature is considering HB 273, the Georgia Prescription Monitoring Program Act.
- The Idaho legislature is considering SB 1114, a Texas-style futile treatment bill, titled "Witholding or Withdrawing Health Treatment ─ Voluntary Ethics Committee Review.

- The Texas legislature is considering a bill, SB 911, which would license pain management clinics, making them submit to an annual review and renew their licenses every two years. Another bill is being drafted that would outlaw doctor shopping.
- The Utah House of Representatives voted down a bill, SB 117, which would have allowed physician assistants and psychologists to determine whether an adult lacks healthcare decision-making capacity. It had passed the Senate with little opposition.
- The Vermont Prescription Drug Monitoring System, which was approved in 2006, has now gone into effect statewide. Under the system, pharmacies are required to report their data on each controlled substance dispensed at least every seven days. More than 328,000 records had already been uploaded to the system in the first month of operation.
- A Vermont legislative study committee concluded that health care providers need better education about end-of-life care, pain management, and palliative care. The recommendations include requiring more training for doctors, removing insurance obstacles, and public education.
- Under consideration by the Washington legislature is HB 1165 that would require drug manufacturers to develop and pay for programs to take back unused medicines and dispose of the drugs in secure hazardous-waste facilities. Designed as a measure to protect the environment, the proposed legislation would also help to eliminate unused drugs in medicine cabinets from being diverted.
- Washington legislators are also considering SB 2639, a bill requested by Attorney General Rob McKenna, which would add new protections for vulnerable adults. The bill would require employees of financial institutions to receive training to recognize and report financial exploitation.
- HB 164 has passed the Wyoming House and now heads to the full Senate. The bill would undo a change in the law that softened penalties for first-time offenders and would make charging forging or altering a drug prescription a felony. The Senate Judiciary Committee added an amendment that would give local authorities discretion over how to prosecute first-time offenders.
Pain Management
- An article in Pediatric Blood & Cancer reported the results of a study that showed opoiod prescriptions for pediatric cancer patients while hospitalized during the last week of life vary greatly among hospitals.

He emphasized that private physicians will be treating these pain sufferers as they enter civilian life. His co-presenter, Dr. Norman Harden, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discussed the long-term management of combat-related neuropathic pain and emphasized the use of multidisciplinary teams to treat such pain.
- The Annual Meeting also heard a presentation that highlighted two of the underlying issues that contribute to the under-treatment of pain: public perceptions about opioids and patient non-compliance in the form of diversion.
Prescription Drug Diversion
- The February issue of the Council of State Government's State News magazine includes the article "Accidental Overdoses from Legal Drugs." The article grew out of the discussions at the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention meeting on the epidemic of prescription drug overdoses last December.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in February that it would be collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support research into new efforts to prevent adults' unintentional drug overdoses.

The investigation into others involved in the Internet scheme is continuing.

Dr. Visuvalingham Vilvarajah and Dr. Mireille Lalanne have been charged with three counts: engaging in organized crime, second-degree assault, and first-degree wanton endangerment in the Harlan, Kentucky, Circuit Court. The second-degree assault charges involve the doctors' alleged prescribing of large quantities of narcotics to a Kentucky woman who told the doctors she was pregnant. The baby was born drug-addicted. The investigation leading to the arrests was prompted by the large number of Kentucky residents, who had received prescriptions from the Nashville doctors and who then were arrested for drug trafficking in Harlan. Harlan County is a five to six hour drive from Nashville.
- As a result of an investigative article published in the Toronto Star, Ontario, Canada, will lead a national probe into the misuses of OxyContin. The report found that the number of OxyContin prescriptions paid for by the province's public drug plan had tripled in five years and that, in the past five years, an estimated 464 deaths have been blamed on the drug contained in OxyContin.
Other Items of Interest
- The latest issue of the Journal of Emergency Medicine includes an article discussing research that was conducted among emergency medical technicians and paramedics. The article notes that there is considerable confusion regarding end-of-life wishes. Many of the emergency responders interpreted the mere existence of a "living will" as meaning they should not attempt resuscitation. More often, patients who have clearly specified that resuscitation not be attempted are, instead, resuscitated or hooked up to respirators and feeding tubes. The article prompted an op-ed in the New York Times. Washington Post readers discussed the New York Times article in an on-line blog.
- The emergence of capacity assessment in older adults as a distinct field of study was discussed in an article in the February issue of Focus. The authors noted the need for studies of a wide range of capacity constructs, particularly focusing on clinical markers of diminished capacity, methods to improve clinical assessment, and the intersections between law and clinical practice.
- JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, published an informative article for primary care physicians regarding the issues that surround referring a patient to palliative care.
- The journal Pediatrics published an article regarding conversations between adolescents suffering from chronic illnesses and their families about end-of-life wishes. The researchers found that such conversations did not discourage hope for recovery or cause additional emotional or mental harm to the patients.
- The New York Times published an article in February, written by physician Pauline W. Chen on "moral distress" that afflicts both doctors and nurses. "Moral distress" can be caused by the competing demands of administrators, insurance companies, lawyers, and patients' families. One of the persistent issues causing such distress is a family's insistence that aggressive treatment be initiated for a patient in the last days of life.

Talk to you all soon!!!!!pixiedust:
What planning have you started so far?
Today, I went to Target and got a Mickey mouse binder, folder and notebook. We are looking at renting DVC, would love it if Swan/Dolphin has employee rates available (but we won't know this until about 60 days before we leave).
I am not banking on FREE Dining for next year b\c this year that time frame was blocked out this year. Plus I did the calculations and - we can eat 3 meals a day including 3 Character meals EXTRA and still be around $100 cheaper overall, so I think we will be paying OOP, unless they do offer the free dining.
Also, at this point, I am thinking we will NOT do matching shirts again (if you know me, you know that we usually wear them everyday), but when we were there in April, I found that I would have been much more comfortable in a tank most days....however, If the tanks I like (don't like the tight ones) go on sale for $3 or less - I will TOTALLY be getting them and have to rethink the whole thing. We will however, do "birthday" shirts on the 11th for DD birthday.
I actually am kinda banking on free dining. LOL Next year, we will be going one week later than we normally do because we want to see the cross-over between Halloween and Christmas. Plus, the tail end will overlap with "Jersey Week" and my kids will loose two days less of school.
We do not do the matching shirt thing....hubby would kill me. :D It's enough that I get a "theme" going (all Mickey shirts, all Epcot shirts, etc.). I haven't started my binder yet, but I will.
If free dining isn't offered....no skin off our nose. We'll do just fine picking up CS around the parks. We normally don't eat all that much as it is, but the table service is nice so we can try new restaurants. I think I'm going to try and convince the family to try Coral Reef.....hubby already agreed to Le Cellier (you can bet I will be online at 5:30 am on May 4th. ;)).
I'm sorry about your April trip. That is one reason why we don't give our dates and exact resort to our family & friends. That sounds horrible, doesn't it? LOL We'll tell them we're going to Disney "towards the end of October" and "we're staying onsite". We've actually had the problem of a friend wanting to join us.....hubby said no way.
OK...that's all for now. I have to merge yesterday's sales orders and do payroll.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
me me me ! :cool1: We're planning on the 19th-27th.
I actually have 2 different IRL good friends who are ALSO thinking about planning October Disney trips :rotfl: I think it would be hilarious if we all went the same time. Not really going "together", but since we all tend to think along the same lines, we'd probably all download the same touring plan :rolleyes: We shall see.
I'm in serious saving mode... and then DH's vehicle broke down on the way to work this morning (I have the new van, he has the beater that I've owned since before we even met! Poor CR-V has over 150,000 miles). So those obviously-needed repairs are eating into the savings that I had put away already :sad1:
I'm still super excited though! :goofy:
Also, I am VERY confused between FigmentChick and figmentswife :upsidedow
I am typing this from my phone on the new dis app....so will see if it goes through.......
FigmentChick is the super cool one......figmentswife.....is married to him.
Hehehe. Will type more tomorrow

I am looking for information on my grandparents. Vincenzo Michele Grieco son of Mauro Grieco and Filomena Catena was born 19 August 1890. Luisa Guiseppina Zollo/ Zolle/ Zoli/ Zola daughter of Pietro Daniele Zol?, mother unknown was born March 30, 1886. This information is from their Italian passports. I would appreciate any information you can share on their families. Thank you!
Hello. My employer is trying to establish his citizenship. His last name is Schifino. Great-great grandfather Leonardo is from Rionero, married to Madalena Traficante. Born 1868 and 1870. Need to get copies of both of their birth certificates and marriage certificate. Is there any way to get in touch with the commune in English, since I do not read Italian?

I am looking for records and relatives of my grandfather, Antonio D'Angelo. He was born in 1864 in Rionero, and came to New York in 1885.

I am looking for records of my husband's great great grandfather, Giuseppe Dipace, probably born around 1850. His wife Maria Madalena Quinto and children moved to the state of Delaware in 1904, apparently after his death. Thank you and happy new year!
Giuseppe DiPace is my great grandfather. Have you had any response to your inquiry? BTW, my mother claims he died young; however, a book on Italians in Delaware states that "Joseph de Pace, who was in Wilmington in 1904 and later returned to Italy, was the father of Daniel De Pace…" My mother also said that he was raised by priests as an orphan.

Some flowers are still beautiful even after the color and petals are gone. This photo is proof of that. Wonderful capture, Beverly :-)
After looking through your portfolio and seeing which of your works I've not previously promoted and/or commented on, I really like this piece, Beverly! … and, I'd like to thank you for supporting my work as well. Personally, I think one of the best features of S6 is the opportunity we are given to encourage our talented comrades. Just wanted to let you know how much I really admire both your art and your consistent support and kindness towards fellow artists! Instead of thanking you personally in my work's comment box, thought I'd do it in yours. ;-) I apologize for this comment being a form letter format… It's important to me to say thank you, and there are many people whose wonderful work I wish to promote (in a short period of time) as a tangible way of showing my appreciation.

Le Crabe Tambour
Description: Le Crabe Tambour (The Crab Drum) stars Jacques Perrin as the title character. An officer in the French navy, Perrin has earned his nickname through his habit of beating his chest a la King Kong after consuming a crab dinner. Stories of this eccentric but courageous warrior remain in circulation long after his involvement in the Indochinese and Algerian wars. Two of his former comrades in arms, Jean Rochefort and Claude Rich, have long suffered guilt pangs for not having stood by Le Crabe Tambour when he needed them most. Accompanied by a third veteran, Jacques Dufilho, the men decide to stage a reunion with the dying Perrin. This triangular character study (the title character is seen only in flashback) won several French film industry awards when it was originally released in 1977; still, it didn't pick up a US distributor until 1984. Director Pierre Schoendoerffer co-adapted the screenplay for Le Crabe Tambour from his own novel.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

WESTERN HO!: Jessica and Victoria Blake, founders of Notting Hill jeweler Jessie Western, are known for turquoise pieces inspired by the natural world. Now, they are launching their first diamond collection, Star Chaser.
The Blake sisters have been designing jewelry and working with stones for 23 years, and have had a shop on Portobello Road for more than a decade. They count Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Kate Hudson and Minnie Driver among their clients, and in the autumn, their jewelry will appear on Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt in the upcoming Ridley Scott film "The Counselor."
They are also set to relaunch their Web site, and aim to expand into wholesale for select clients.
Their latest collection features diamonds in various shapes, sizes and colors, as well as other precious gems mounted on gold and silver jewelry shaped like wolves, snakes, thunderbirds, feathers and leaves. Prices start at 129 pounds, or $200, for an 18-karat gold and silver diamond charm, and 399 pounds, or $621, for a white, yellow, or oxidized gold diamond band. One of the highest price points is 3,500 pounds, or $5,449, for a turtle bracelet made of diamonds.
The sisters are British, but spent much of their youth on a Seminole reservation in the Florida Everglades, have lived and traveled extensively in the American Southwest and forged close relationships with Native American artists over the years. Their designs reflect their awe of the natural world. Jessica describes a rough-cut, double blue aquamarine stone as the color of a "high mountain lake," and jewelry designs show running foxes or swimming turtles, with moving legs.
"As artists, we have an unusual viewpoint, with a passion for the unique and for gem-quality stones," said Jessica, who draws each piece in detail and sources all of the stones and materials with Victoria, an abstract artist.

I decided to do something different for the Yankees-Rays Opening Day game by listening to a couple of innings of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WCBS 880.
The due referred to as ŌĆ£Ma and Pa KettleŌĆØ by Bob Raissman of the Daily News, is always under fire. They are obvious homers, very un-fundamental in their broadcast style, and appear to, at times, have trouble seeing the action on the field. SterlingŌĆÖs over-the-top home run calls have become a part of baseball lore. I donŌĆÖt listen to much baseball on the radio anymore ŌĆō Mets, Yankees or otherwise ŌĆō as part of my job here is to provide analysis, and I donŌĆÖt feel that radio allows me to do that quite as well. When you add in all the video replay that MLB.com offers instantly, there is also tons of ways to interact with the game before radio. WhatŌĆÖs funny is my introduction to baseball as a kid was more on the radio than television.
Interestingly enough, when I do listen to the Yankees on 880, I always come away with a laugh. I particularly love when Sterling announces ŌĆ£angryŌĆØ during those rare periods of Yankee ineptitude. He was in rare form on a Sunday night in 2007, when the Yankees were struggling and on the verge of being swept by Boston. He came across as if it was an ŌĆ£affrontŌĆØ for the team to be wasting his time. I donŌĆÖt know if I ever heard him as disgusted in the last 17 years.┬ĀYou then have Waldman, who talks about the team in a way you would expect your grandmother to while watching her grandkids play sandlot ball; always in a personal and loving manner. You would think that A-Rod, Teixeira and Jeter were related to her.
Instead of disliking Sterling and Waldman, like many outside the Yankees Universe, I come to actually enjoy their games. Friday afternoon was no different, as rode the treadmill during the 7th and 8th innings of the game in Tampa; I have never laughed so much during a workout before.
For those that never have listened to the duo, think of an elderly couple sitting on the porch watching a game. ItŌĆÖs clear they do this often, and take the results of the game personally.
During the 45 minutes I listened, Sterling blew a Mark Teixeira home run call (the ball was foul) and became agitated by a Carlos Pena hit and run single against the shift. Waldman was conducting a sermon on ŌĆ£cowbell raysŌĆØ when discussing an upcoming Tampa promotion where the fans will receive a cowbell upon entering the park. Mark Feinsand of the Daily News corrected her from the press box mid-inning, telling her the proper term for a cowbell ray (I canŌĆÖt find it or remember it), but it turned out all of them are wrong. According to┬ĀBig League Stew,┬Āthe entire Tampa Bay cowbell movement was borne out of the famous Saturday Night Live ŌĆ£More CowbellŌĆØ skit starring Christopher Walken. ThatŌĆÖs not the point, but the discussion of this during a half-inning of a close ballgame just tells you what type of broadcast I was experiencing.
The point where I laughed out loud, literally, was when Sterling said after the Pena hit and run single that ŌĆ£If Pena can do it, and David Ortiz can do it, why canŌĆÖt the Yankees?ŌĆØ The shift has become a hot topic in Yankee-universe this weekend, and Sterling seems agitated the Bombers have been befuddled by it. He made it seem as fundamental as laying down a bunt.
ItŌĆÖs hard to describe my experience in words. You have to listen to this duo to truly understand what I am talking about. There has been talk in recent years of 880 replacing Sterling and Waldman with a more traditional booth. I would be very disappointed by such a development.
The Yankees are phony and corporate in just about every facet of their operation. The radio booth is the one place where I feel I can actually ŌĆ£touch and feelŌĆØ the organization. I rarely use the word ŌĆ£charmŌĆØ when discussing the Bombers. That is, however, how I would sum up John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman doing play-by-play on the radio.

CRNA Court Victory is a Win for Rural Hospitals
Besides, this case isn't about patient safety, or even access to care. It's about money.
The savings in compensation costs and the money generated by additional procedures could be considerable for rural hospitals. Merritt Hawkins & Associates, the Dallas, TX-based national physician recruiting firm, says that first-year financial packages for anesthesiologists range from $275,000 to $350,000, while CRNAs earn around $200,000.
"Obviously the return on investment is there. It's a simpler search. There are more CRNAs in the marketplace than there are anesthesiologists," says Sam A. Karam, division vice president for Merritt Hawkins. "From a sheer dollars-and-cents standpoint it always makes sense to have CRNAs. Now, that is the main reason we have seen CRNAs being more in demand."
Karam says anesthesiologists were once among the most-highly sought after medical specialists. That is no longer the case.
"From a demand perspective, is it difficult to find anesthesiologists today? No. That's a stark change from just a few years ago when the demand for them was extremely high," he says. "You will find some that actually aren't even working in permanent positions. They're working locum jobs to stay afloat."
CRNAs are not the main reason for the slowing demand for anesthesiologists. Larger factors, including the long-sputtering economy and the anticipated changes that will come with healthcare reform, have "flip-flopped" market demand away from specialists and towards primary care docs.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
16788087 (3/29/2012 at 2:25 PM)
excellent comment by Barry. I would like to add, one thing often overlooked in the conversation about utility/cost of 'CRNA vs. Anesthesiologist' is much of the value add that physician anesthesiologists can bring to the 'service' of anesthesia that nurses, by definition, cannot. Examples being; most MD Anesthesiologists are well trained and experienced with providing ultrasound guided regional anesthesia, training and experience in acute post op pain management, ability to act as a physician consultant with deep understanding of the wide breath and depth of disease states, training and experience in the use of ultrasound for cardiac evaluation, training and experience in managing a patients' preoperative evaluation, and thus saving dollars and improving outcomes. There are many functions anesthesiologists, trained and encultured as physicians, can perform that nurses, by their training and culture cannot, is not within their scope of practice, or are not comfortable with. The challenge for the specialty of anesthesiology, and especially for older generation anesthesiologists, is to show our value perioperatively and OUTside of the operating room. As noted, precision medicine is making the technical practice of anesthesiology to be a lower level function as compared to how anesthesia was practiced decades ago-thus, O.R anesthesia is being disintermediated away from needing physicians. However, there is much within the purvue of Perioperative medicine that physician anesthesiologists are uniquely qualified to do, and should step up to do, so as not to make this specialty obsolete.
Barry W. Brasfield, M.D. (3/28/2012 at 6:31 PM)
The relationships between anesthesiologists and CRNAs represent what Clayton Christiansen ("The Innovator's Prescription")would classify as a "disruptive innovation": anesthesiologists, through research and training, have rendered anesthesia care so safe that it is virtually impossible to statistically demonstrate any difference in the "quality of care." Therefore, provision of anesthesia is no longer an "intuitive" medical service, but a "precision" medical service. The marketplace will continue to adjust to this development over the next decade or more...

La Valentina bills itself as alta cocina Mexicana, the implication being a cuisine that rises above the cheesy, saucy, Tex-Mex dreck of mediocre chains. While it certainly doesn't reach the culinary heights of the haute specialties served at Eduardo de San Angel in Fort Lauderdale, nor does it exude the comforting authenticity of Homestead's south-of-the-border eateries, Valentina's spunky fare, hunky-dory prices, and fun, friendly, festive environment will with luck be enough to keep it from being voted off the food court. Stay tuned.

NC Teachers File Lawsuit Challenging Tenure Repeal
The N.C. Association of Educators filed a second major education lawsuit in a week, this time challenging the end of tenure—otherwise known as career status—for North Carolina public school teachers.
The lawsuit, also filed by six classroom teachers, argues that the repeal of career status violates federal and state constitutions by taking away basic due process rights.
"We are giving the state constitution a work out," said Ann McColl, general counsel for NCAE. "When we find that our fundamental values that we hold as a people, that are embodied in our state constitution, are disregarded and disrespected by the General Assembly, then it's time to go to court."
In a budget passed by state lawmakers this year, teacher tenure will be eliminated by 2018 and replaced with a teacher contract system. Under the new law, school districts are expected to offer one-year contracts to most teachers, while offering the top 25-percent of teachers four-year contracts and a $500 annual pay raise.
Unlike traditional tenure, career status does not guarantee lifetime job security to teachers, but does promise certain job protections, like the right to a hearing if ever dismissed or demoted.
'Going Back On A Promise'
Richard Nixon, a history teacher at Corinth Holders High School, has taught in Johnston County for 25 years and says that by repealing career status, the state is failing to honor its contract with him.
"In return for my service to the children of North Carolina the state would grant career status - a promise that as long as I did a good job, I would have a good job," he said. "In the course of my career, I have lived up to my contract. I expect my state to do the same. "
The plaintiffs argue that teachers under the new system will not have the right to protest a non-renewal of their contract, or know why they were not asked back.
Rodney Ellis, a sixth grade teacher from Forsyth County and president of NCAE, says the repeal of career status is only one part of the "full frontal assault on public education in North Carolina," citing shrinking budgets and the elimination of extra pay for teachers with advanced degrees.
Last week, NCAE filed another major education lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of private school vouchers funded by taxpayer money.
'Frivolous' Lawsuits
Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Thom Tillis criticized both lawsuits, calling the most recent one "frivolous."
"The union [NCAE] has made its blueprint clear: 'if at first you don't succeed at the polls, then sue, sue again,'" the Republican leaders said in a statement. "While union leaders are focused on succeeding in the courtroom, we'll remain focused on our children succeeding in the classroom."
Berger argues that teachers should receive contract renewals based on job performance as in many other professions, and that the current system does a poor a job of kicking low-performing teachers out of schools. He cited data from the last school year that says only 17 out of the 95,028 teachers were dismissed for cause.
The new law replacing career status provides $10.2 million to reward the top 25% of teachers, which will be chosen by local school boards.

World's Strangest Aphrodisiacs
The Philippines and Southeast Asia
In the Philippines, this sidewalk snack—a duck egg that contains a fetus about 20 days into gestation—is as common as a New York pretzel. Served by vendors who belt out their fetal wares with the chant "baluuuut," it is considered a delicacy in many countries. The egg is typically tapped, then flipped upside down. The liquid is drunk and then the egg is peeled to reveal part of a duck fetus imbedded in the white, accented by the odd feather.
Where to Find It: All over major city centers of the Philippines as well as in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Cost: As little as $1 each.

A Regular Show game is happening! Yeah-yuh!
In what may very well be the greatest news of 2013 thus far, D3Publisher has announced a partnership with Cartoon Network to publish games based on the greatest television program about a pair of retro-gaming slackers who still live like it's the 80s. D3 most recently handled the distribution of the WayForward-developed Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!, and all parties are hoping that some of that same magic will carry over to Cartoon Network's other prime time giant.
I've been waiting for this announcement ever since I was fortunate enough to interview series creator J.G. Quintel almost exactly one year ago. Regular Show is a vehicle for J.G. to incorporate all his favorite old-school pastimes, from cheesy 80s action movies to SEGA Master System gaming. A videogame -- and I don't mean those quick-and-dirty Flash games that flood the CN site -- in the spirit of his childhood favorites is the next logical frontier.
J.G. told me that if there ever was a Regular Show game, he would love for it to be either a classic brawler or a funky rougelike similar to ToeJam & Earl. Both styles sound like they could offer a wealth of possibilities, so I hope that D3 strongly considers those options when it shops around for a developer.

"Lily Hare" Showing at Quinnipiac's Buckman Theater
When all else fails, pick pockets for a living. That's what the title character of New Haven playwright Kevin Daly's piece Lily Hare does. Lily is a less-than-talented actress touring the country performing a play of poorly remembered Shakespearean speeches. After riling the audience into an unhappy riot, Lily's student Net Tambourine uses their distraction and disatisfaction to steal their stuff. This play is presented by Quinnipiac University Theater for Community and runs Feb. 28-March 3.
Lily Hare
Feb. 28-March 3, $8-$12, Quinnipiac University Buckman Theater, 275 Mount Carmel Ave., Hamden, (203) 582-3500. Performances: Feb. 28-March 1, 7:30 p.m.; March 2, 4 p.m.; March 3, 2 p.m.

knowledge, and a subgroup of the CMNR met in August 1993 to identify the key topics for review and the speakers with expertise in these topics. The workshop was convened on January 31 to February 1, 1994 and included presentations from individuals familiar with or having expertise in cold and in high-altitude topics, as well as from military commanders familiar with working and training personnel in these environments. Speakers were asked to provide reviews of their area of expertise, which in turn assisted the committee in responding to a series of 15 questions, which have been summarized into the following two overriding questions:
On the day after the workshop, the CMNR met in executive session to review the issues and draw some tentative conclusions. Committee members subsequently met in a series of working sessions to draft the summary and recommendations. The committee's report, Nutritional Needs in Cold and in High-Altitude Environments, Applications for Military Personnel in Field Operations (IOM, 1996a), was originally released in March 1996 as a preliminary report in response to troop deployment to Bosnia, and in May 1996, the full report, including 22 papers presented at the workshop, was released.
The energy requirement for work both in the cold and at high altitudes is increased. However, the increased requirement is adequately met by the cold weather operational rations currently in use. Energy in these rations is primarily provided in the form of carbohydrate. There is insufficient evidence at this time to support providing an increased amount of any specific nutrient in the cold or at high altitudes beyond that already provided in current operational rations.
Additionally, the CMNR emphasizes the critical importance of water discipline, availability of safe fluids for drinking, and a clear understanding on the part of all troops involved in operations or training in cold and in high-altitude environments of the importance of maintaining fluid intake. An impressive body of evidence has already been generated to define the nutritional needs of troops required to engage in military operations under environmental conditions of extreme cold and/or high altitudes.

Room very clean and comfortable and while not cheap for Bolivia of a high standard and well worth the (only a few) extra pounds.
Really nice town too - especially nice to be there for Easter. - Anonymous

Very similar to high end bar stools, work well, easy to put together and came with no damage. Be aware that the wood is faux, but a pretty good fake, and easy to clean. I would buy these stools agan.
I was sadly dissappointed in the condition of the stools when they arrived. The veneered seat was warped and didn't align with the stool frame at all - the base was very plastic and they appear very cheap looking in person. Would not recommend these stools to a friend.
For the price it's a great barstool. The assembly is easy and the barstool looks great in a modern setting. In retrospect I would have purchased black instead of the faux wood, but all in all, it is sturdy, good looking and I am very pleased with all three we bought! Each took about 15 minutes to assemble. We have had them for a month and have had no problems whatsoever.
Overall I like these bar stools. The air lift mechanism works really well and I like that you change the high of the bar stools to be bar height or counter height. It makes the stools more versatile. They add modern flare to your kitchen and couldn't be easier to assemble. One thing that I do not like is that the wood does not line up with the medal on the back part of the chair. I saw this in other reviews but thought nothing of it. It makes the chairs look slight cheap but over all still a good product. You get what you pay for.
We purchased this chair as we have similar barstools. Given the price point I did not have high expectations of quality but expected durability. The chair is sturdy, the assembly is straightforward with only a few pieces to put together. When paired with the other barstools in the kitchen, it is not an exact match but goes quite well. The walnut veneer is a little on the thin side but considering someone will be sitting on it, not much of an issue for us.
I purchased two of these same chairs a few years back. Wow, what a change for the worse! My initial chairs were well constructed and had beautiful walnut finished seats. The product I just received was poorly constructed (wood like seat did not fit properly within the metal frame) and was definitely NOT the same wood product as before. And did I stress 'wood like' seat?? I hope the inspector got a significant kickback when he okayed this product from China. The chair was on sale, so, I guess you get what you pay for!
Assembly directions were not the best, but overall, assembly was easy. The stools are very stylish and set off the newly remodeled kitchen. The seat drops a tad when you initially sit on it due to the hydraulic mechanism which can catch some people off guard but are comfortable.
I bought a house. Before that I was living in a small flat which a recently refurbished. I built a huge bar table and since everything is modern in the house I bought four barstools to match my design and decoration. I just like it, like the whole picture when you enter the flat. What do you know, after I finished all the work I sold it for a great deal of money.
My new bar stools give the retro feeling and look I was searching for long. Our kitchen looks amazing and my wife loves them also as they match with the decor. The curved look is great and every piece arrived in top quality. Assembly was easy and quick and since having the we enjoy every meal in the retro rush.
I am really glad I could find such simple and affordable stools. My wife was always complaining about the chairs in our kitchen as she wanted a large counter and high stools around it. When she went to visit her mother I changed the kitchen table and ordered four curved barstools. The look was amazing and my wife adores the new kitchen stools. Best price and quality. Thank you.

"Bikini Girl" Does Battle With Kara DioGuardi
By Anne-Marie
Who knew that American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi had such a killer set of...pipes? She clearly blew away 21-year-old "bikini girl" Katrina Darrell in last night's season finale when she emerged with a microphone during Darrell's rendition of "Vision of Love."
DioGuardi, a noted record producer, surprised over 30 million viewers when she belted out the lyrics and then ripped open the buttons on her dress to reveal a killer set of curves.
Darrell's facial expression, upon realizing that the 38-year-old both out sang and out stripped her, was priceless. Good thing because the Idol castoff is probably down to her last penny after having mid-season boob job. "I was going to ask what's new," Ryan Seacrest said when Darrell took the stage, "but I think I know."
Boob jobs on American Idol are nothing new. Season 5 contestant Kellie Pickler also went under the knife after she was booted off the show. Although her rep denied the 22-year-old had any "facial surgery," it's pretty obvious, even from outer space, that the country western star was on the receiving end of a few knives and needles.
So what's with 20-somethings getting botox anyway? Are they frowning more often or simply trying to keep up with a new breed of women, the super hot 40-something?
DioGuardi's strip tease is just one example of how older women are over shadowing younger girls by staying in shape. When a 20-year-old flaunts her flat abs, it's simply a matter of metabolism. But when a 38-year-old shows the world she's buff and beautiful, men take notice. Read: Sweat Together, Stay Together

Children with ADHD extra-sensitive to loss of sleep
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 03-04-2011 - 12:44pm
This article says that even less than 1 hour less sleep nightly for 6 days can make the ADHD symptoms worse.
Wow. Add that to these other articles about sleep loss triggering ADHD, connections between sleep and ADHD (here and here) and how critical sleep is (here) - well, no wonder my little girl got (mis)diagnosed with it. Her sleep was awful. Got me thinking about my little brother. He has ADHD and also had enlarged tonsils. He quit getting so sick after getting them out as an adult. Of cousre that did not "cure" his ADHD. He turned that into an asset in his adult career. :smileyhappy:
It is nearly impossible to always get "the right" amount of sleep even in "NT" (neurotypical) kids.
