Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – For the past eight years the Oklahoma City Gun Club's annual Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinic has been the largest in the United States. Tomorrow, September 7, the club hosts its fourteenth annual clinic and extend their reign at the top to nine years. Held just outside the city in Arcadia, OK, club president Suzi Rouse expects nearly 600 women to come out and learn marksmanship skills through hands-on instruction by more than 100 volunteers. The event has been sold out since the spring and has, unfortunately, had to turn away hundreds more interested women.
In addition to learning shooting basics on a variety of pistols, rifles and shotguns, the OKC Gun Club's clinic will instruct participants on safe firearm handling and proper firearms storage techniques. All firearms and ammunition will be provided by generous sponsors like the NRA Foundation, Benelli, DPMS Panther Arms, Glock, and Smith & Wesson.

"Women prefer to be taught by women," says Diane Danielson, NRA's Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinic Coordinator. "They have an instant connection that makes events like NRA's Women on Target so successful."
And she would know.
Since Danielson stepped on board a few years back, NRA Women's Instructor Training Courses have been springing up all over the United States. At the 2011 NRA Annual Meeting, for example, the first Women's Instructor Training Course took place under the watchful eye of Diane and two of her top female instructors. The success of that event, held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and the Allegheny Country Rifle Club, has lead to an impressive increase in the number of female Certified NRA instructors.

Fairfax, Virginia - Americans' interest in firearms has seen a surge in popularity over the past five years. More people are getting involved with the shooting sports, personal safety and hunting than ever before. And to help everyone from beginners to experienced firearms enthusiasts fully enjoy their Second Amendment rights are 178 NRA programs.
Places where we've seen the most growth are in our popular courses like NRA Basic Pistol and the female-focused Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinics, designed to introduce citizens to firearms. You can't teach these courses without being a Certified Firearms Instructor or supervising safe shooting activities unless you're a Range Safety Officer.

Fairfax, Virginia - Friends of NRA airs Sunday nights on the Outdoor Channel. Following the adventures of Matt and Jessie Duff as they travel across the country, the show focuses on one truly unique NRA experience after another.
Last week we saw them at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyoming. This week they continue their westward trek to the shores of Oregon.
Arriving first in Coos Bay, Oregon, Matt and Jessie are welcomed by the hard working members of the Coos County Friends of NRA Committee. A High Caliber Club, the committee raised $56,000 for the shooting sports in 2012. That's a lot of hard work. Well, it turns out these friends of the NRA work as hard as they play. Especially once they get out onto the sands of Coos Bay. That's where our hosts were treated to a dune buggy tour of the Bay's beaches.

Fairfax, Virginia - "Women want to learn how to shoot."
According to NRA's Women on Target program, participation in the female focused instructional shooting clinics increased by 26% in the 2012. National Women on Target Program Coordinator Diane Danielson believes she knows the reason why.
"It's all thanks to word of mouth and the nature of the program," said Danielson. "We're strictly for women, primarily the first time shooter. It's about getting out to shoot and getting over the fear of firing those first shots."
Since the program's fervent beginnings back in 2000, almost eighty-thousand women have stepped onto a Women on Target range. Though the curriculum varies per event, ladies are generally offered the opportunity to fire pistols, rifles and shotguns under the watchful eye of an NRA Certified Instructor.

Centreville, Virginia -
Ever think about attending one of NRA's Women on Target clinics?
Wonder what there is to learn?
Or maybe it's a question of what type of women go to such things? Women like Casey Saggers and Jennifer Boughton.
Now grizzled veterans of our Centreville, Virginia clinic, Saggers and Boughton came out that day for two very different reasons. Saggers, product of a Law Enforcement upbringing, was looking to buy a gun. Boughton, with thirteen years of military service under her belt, was looking for a little fun.

Brock Olivo attends a halftime ceremony on Saturday on Faurot Field to commemorate the retirement of his No. 27 jersey.
Sept. 13, 2003
Editor's Note: This story ran in the Sept. 13 edition of the Mizzou football gameday program.
by Cory Walton
There aren't many instances in the game of football these days when a team's starting tailback is allowed to participate on special teams, let alone volunteers for such duties.
The story of former Mizzou running back Brock Olivo, however, is one of those instances. Olivo, whose number 27 will be retired this afternoon during the Tigers' home opener against Eastern Illinois, was known not only for his prowess on the offensive side of the ball, but also for his diligence to all aspects of the Tigers' special teams unit.
In 1997, his senior year, the Washington, Mo., native was named the first-ever recipient of the Mosi Tatupu Special Teams Player of the Year Award, becoming the first Mizzou football player to ever earn a national honor. Olivo, who recorded nine special teams tackles in addition to his blocking duties on the return teams, harbors a sense of disbelief at being the first Tiger to receive such recognition.
"Whoever was selecting national awards over the years must have been looking at a map that didn't include the state of Missouri. I guess they must have updated it in '97," he says.
While Olivo rose to prominence with his special teams accomplishments in the '97 season, it was also a milestone year for the senior in his role as Mizzou's starting tailback.
By the end of the year, Olivo's name stood at the top of the Tigers' all-time career lists for most rushing yards (3,026), rushing touchdowns (27), and all-purpose yards (3,475).
That season, the Olivo-led Tigers earned a berth in the Holiday Bowl, the team's first post-season appearance since 1983. According to Olivo, who ran for 678 yards and found the end zone 11 times on the year, that achievement is worth more to him than any individual accomplishments.
"The Holiday Bowl experience takes the cake hands down. I'll take that moment with me further than any individual award bestowed upon me because that is what football is all about - TEAM!"
By the end of his illustrious career at Mizzou, Olivo had collected not only the Tatupu award, but three team Offensive Most Valuable Player awards, one team Special Teams MVP award, two honorable mention all-Big Eight selections, and a Big Eight Offensive Freshman of the Year distinction. He also became the first player in school history to receive the Don Faurot Most Inspirational Player Award three times.
To some, the load that Olivo bore to attain such numerous accolades would simply be overwhelming. In the case of Mizzou's all-time leading rusher, that very load and the way he prepared for it became part of his legend.
"I made my legacy off the football field in preparation for game day. Game day was easy for me because of what I put myself through in the offseason. It was a glorified workout for me. Something about wearing those colors made me feel invincible, especially when I could stop and listen to MIZ-ZOU," Olivo says.
One of Olivo's favorite training techniques is known simply as "The Hill" by those associated with Tiger football.
"I happened upon this hill one day at the beginning of the summer of '95. I remember how excited I was to have finally found a hill in Columbia, and I rushed home to tell my roommate, Ron 'Rhino' Janes, about my wonderful discovery. In typical Rhino fashion, he looked at me as if I'd gone mad," he says.
"Sure enough, we were out there mowing and weed-eating it at 5:00 a.m. the next morning. It was so steep that you could stand at the bottom and reach out with your hand and almost touch it."
Running up and down that hill became part of Olivo's training regimen. Once the strength and conditioning staff found out about the hill, according to the former Tiger tailback, they began to subject the rest of the team to its rigors.
"When it got incorporated into our summer workouts, 'Thanks a lot Olivo' was a commonly grunted sarcastic phrase," he laughs.
The intense training that Olivo took part in didn't go unnoticed by the Tigers' coaching staff, Hill remembers.
"We used to have two running sessions a day, and the players were only required to attend one. Brock ran in both of them, every time. I've never had a player equal Brock's commitment and drive," Hill says.
Throughout his career, Olivo relied on that training to give him an edge over his opponents on the field.
"I was not the fastest or the biggest or the strongest," Olivo remembers, "but when I would come face-to-face with anyone at any time, I knew that I would come out on top some way, somehow."
In the end, Olivo did come out on top. After a brief stint in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, the former Tiger tailback graduated from Mizzou in 2001 with degrees in English and communications.
Recently, Olivo spent time in Italy, where he coached football, taught English, visited family and friends and "went on adventures in food that would sometimes last for hours on end."
Now, Olivo is back in the United States, and has made his way back to Columbia to join the likes of Don Faurot, Paul Christman and Kellen Winslow on the Missouri Wall of Fame.
"I honestly have mixed emotions. Obviously, I feel honored and excited about the ceremony. At the same time, I am extremely humbled because of the company I'll be keeping on the wall."
One thing is for certain, when Olivo steps on the field to be honored Saturday, it won't be just another "glorified workout" on an autumn afternoon in Columbia.

Probing behavior of bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) on native bird cherry Prunus padus L. and alien invasive black cherry Prunus serotina Erhr. in Europe and the role of cyanogenic glycosides
- Aleksandra Halarewicz,

- … show all 2 hide
The probing behavior of bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi was studied on its natural winter host in Europe, the bird cherry Prunus padus, and on the invasive black cherry Prunus serotina, on which spring generations of R. padi do not survive. The EPG-recorded behavior of R. padi on bird cherry and black cherry showed differences in crucial aspects of probing and feeding. The period of the pre-phloem penetration was twice as long and rarely interrupted in aphids on bird cherry as opposed to aphids on black cherry. On black cherry, there was a considerable delay between finding and accepting the phloem. Aphids that had sampled phloem sap either refused to ingest it or the ingestion periods were very short. Amygdalin and prunasin (cyanogenic glycosides present in leaves of Prunus) seriously impeded ingestion activities when applied in pure sucrose diet. The role of amygdalin and prunasin in winter host plant selection and host alternation in R. padi is discussed.

My skin did not react well to these wipes. Nor my sensitive eyes. However, you can't go wrong with the price or quantity of wipes I will not repurchase because of the alcoholic scent, rough texture and its reaction to my skin.

I used to buy the Neutrogena towelettes because I truly loved the feel of them but I refuse to spend $7 for 21 wipes that end up drying up, when I leave in my travel bag because the packaging is terrible. These wipes are really good for the price!! 120 for $6?! I wear waterproof liner and mascara, so I first use Maybelline "Clean Express waterproof remover" to remove my eye makeup, then I use One wipe to cleanse my face. I bought mine online, so I don't know if I bought a refill package or if this is the normal packaging but it's not good. I suggest either use an old wipes container or after each use, store them upside down, so the seal stays closed and they stay moist. For the Quality and Value, These are my "At Home" wipes, for travel I suggest a packaging like the ELF cleansing towelettes.

I have sensitive dry skin so I have to be very picky when it comes to using any products on my face. I was using Neutrogena cleansing towelettes to remove make up. I loved it. It not only cleaned my face but made it feel fresh and alive. I was very excited to see Equate sold the same product only cheaper! Well it's not exactly the same product. As soon as I started wiping it across my face I felt stinging. Now it wasn't horribly painful but I was used to a much more pleasant experience when using the Neutrogena product. Eventually the stinging went away but I think I will go back to the product that works and makes me feel good. It may not be a good product for people with sensitive skin.

These are really good makeup wipes imo. They dont seem to break me out and is great for my oily skin! They arent the softest wipes, and the top few wipes arent that saturated, but I like them alot and have purchases countless refills. I shouldve bought it in the container before getting refills, because its quite unsanitary digging into the refill bag and plus it doesnt really close...Anyways I love these wipes and they are great for oily skin!

I hate to say that I really don't like these. Although I end up using them for convenience (since I am lazy and one of these does do a really good job at removing my makeup), I find that they irritate my skin and give me more acne. I usually have fairly clear skin but these give me little under the skin or very small zits all over my nose and chin. I also find that they dry out easily and quickly. i also don't like that it feels like a residue is left on my face after I use them that I need to rinse off--it's almost sticky feeling.
I wish I could use these, I'll probably switch to Olay daily facials and pay the extra price for them.

I don't know why I haven't bought these sooner? I Bought these facial towelettes about a week ago. Finally used one today and gosh I absolutely LOVE these makeup removing towelettes! It doesn't break out my skin, it controls my oily skin! Removes ALL my makeup which is usually liquid foundation, either that or my cc cream, pressed foundation powder,mascara, eyeshadow,blush, lipstick,gel eyeliner on my upper eyelid removes all everything absolutely everything in one wipe ! And for $6?? Pretty affordable! Besides the amazing cleansing results and the affordable price these wipes also are going to last me months! It's 120 wipes! In other words: buy them! They're the best! I love them so much! Lol definitely going to buy these again an again!

My review is for the original clean wet cleansing towelettes. I don't know if they're the same from the name on here or different but i love these wipes. They completely remove every last trace of makeup including the toughest waterproof mascara. Its amazing. I use these all the time now. They don't irritate sensitive eyes at all. I would say the one and only thing i don't like is that the texture of the wipes is a little rough on the skin. Regardless nothing removes my makeup the way these do.

I've bought these for years. I couldn't live without them. Cheap, easy, and they work. Store them upside down and they stay damp. Great for sensitive skin and eyes.

I've been buying these Facial wipes for over a Year already and I've always purchased the 2-Pack at Wal-Mart for $5 and I usually end up giving the other packet to my Mother. I finish this Packet in about 2 months since my Everyday Make-up is very light I just use My facial Cleanser to wipe the little makeup I have on, off. I mostly use these on the Weekends when I wear a little bit more Make-up than usual and These wipes are the Absolute best! They take off everything in just a couple swipes and they smell really fresh. I used to use ponds but after a while the Price was starting to take a toll on my Wallet so when My cousin told me about these wipes I quickly Purchased them and to be Honest I don't see a single difference than from the Ponds wipes. I love these wipes and I recommend these to someone on a Budget, trust me there is no absolute difference between these wipes and the Name brand ones!

Used Ponds for years then switched to these simply because they're cheaper. They work just as well as Ponds for me, though I generally use 2 each night (one for eyes and one for face) because they aren't always quite as wet as the Ponds brand though the price difference and how many you receive in comparison makes it worth it, IMO.
Love them!

Article By Steve Angelly - April 20, 2008
Having used a variety of motherboards with NVIDIA's 650i chipset during the past 18 months, I wasn't sure about the 750i's benefit over the former, although it seems to be a refresh with some nice tweaks.
The 650i-based motherboards, which include MSI's P6N SLI Platinum, have been trouble-free with performance comparable to more expensive motherboards. As I look at MSI's new offering, the P7N SLI Platinum, I wonder how much improvement over the former there is. That will be the main question to answer for this review.
As with the P6N motherboard, the P7N Platinum features an elaborate copper heatsink/heatpipe chipset cooling solution on a jet-black circuit board. The heatpipe arrangement runs from the MOSFET's to the System Platform Processor (C55 SPP), the nForce 430i Media and Communications Processor (C51 MCP) and the nForce 200.
The P7N SLI Platinum is uncluttered and has plenty of space. The use of the 430i MCP limits the motherboard to a single LAN port and a maximum of four SATA ports. This isn't a big deal for me personally and you do get the use of two IDE ports and a floppy drive port, which are located at the bottom of the motherboard. Connecting to the IDE and floppy ports can be a hassle as a long cable is needed in most setups to reach the intended device, which are mounted higher up in an ATX tower case.
One final observation is that the P7N Platinum offers three x16 PCI-Express slots that are PCIe 2.0 compatible. This is a little confusing as the nForce 430 MCP offers no PCIe lanes so apparently MSI has enabled the available 8 lanes on the nForce 200. Note that this motherboard does not support 3-way SLI.
First up is a connectivity block diagram. The nForce 750i SLI appears to be a refresh of the nForce 650i SLI chipset. However, the nForce 200 chip does provide PCI Express 2.0 features, although the lanes are cut from 32-lane capability, as found on the nForce 780i, to 24 lanes and NVIDIA's Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) is not featured on this chipset. Nothing much else appears to be changed, even the nForce 430 MCP has been retained.
Detailed specifications for this motherboard can be viewed using the following scrollable applet.

On June 24, 2013, the Senate passed by a vote of 67-27 a motion to invoke cloture on the border security amendment to the comprehensive immigration reform package. This paves the path for a full vote on the measure, which is expected to pass by a similar or greater number of "yes" votes. The amendment presented by Republican Senators Bob Corker and John Hoeven, which addresses the critical issue of border security, would increase the border patrol force to 40,000 from 21,000, require 700 miles of new fencing and implement a new visa entry and exit system at all air and seaports. The proposed plan would also allocate $3.2 billion to a high-tech border surveillance system. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz), one of the original drafters of the bill, expressed hope that the new border security amendment could allow the Senate to pass the legislation with at least 70 votes.

In 2008, the California Legislature enacted SBX1 28 which added section 19138 to the California Corporation Tax Law. As enacted in 2008, section 19138 imposed a new penalty, as specified, on taxpayers subject to the California Corporation Tax Law equal to twenty percent of the understatement of tax in excess of one million dollars for any taxable year. The penalty applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2003 for which the statute of limitations has not expired. With rare exceptions, this is a "strict liability penalty" with no discretion given to the California Franchise Tax Board ("FTB") to forgo the penalty on such traditional grounds for relief as reasonable cause, substantial authority or adequate disclosure. As enacted in 2008, for taxpayers included in a combined report, the one million dollar threshold applies to the aggregate amount of tax liability for all taxpayers included in the combined report. For purposes of computing the twenty percent penalty, "understatement of tax" means the amount by which the tax imposed by the California Corporation Tax Law exceeds the amount of tax shown on an original return or an amended return filed on or before the original or extended due date of the return for any taxable year.
On February 17, 2009, and soon after the penalty's enactment, the California Taxpayers' Association ("CalTax") filed a petition for writ of mandate in Sacramento County Superior Court challenging the constitutionality of section 19138.

Indicating tougher security action against Maoists in the days to come, the Union home ministry on Friday did away with the nomenclature of Naxal Management (NM) division and gave it the name of Left Wing Extremism (LWE) division.
The logic behind the rechristening was that it was not practical to "manage" a banned outfit that follows a clear Maoist ideology of overthrowing democracy and establishing its own rule, a senior ministry official explained.
An immediate decision that Union home minister Rajnath Singh took during the course of his first interaction with the LWE division on Friday was to push in 10,000 more paramilitary personnel in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, in addition to the already deployed 40,000 troops there.
"It is being done to fill in the gaps in key Maoist strongholds that give them advantage over security forces. We will try to deploy them within three months, or latest by the end of the year," said an official. In the worst-affected Maoist districts, the ministry will try to deploy the most capable officers who have proven their ability.
The home minister also approved a plan to increase the hardship allowance of paramilitary personnel deployed in Maoists affected areas and bring them at least at par with the allowance given to those deployed in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the North East (NE) region if not more.
Even though LWE areas have emerged as the biggest killing fields for security personnel and have consumed more lives than the conflicts in Kashmir and the North East put together since 2005, yet the hardship allowance given from constable to the level of Commandant, is the least there.
Another key decision that Singh took was to expedite road construction of about 5,477km and telecommunication projects i.e. building 2,199 mobile towers in these districts. Even though the project for 5,477km roads was sanctioned in 2010, just 2,900km have been completed in four years. The mobile tower project for improving connectivity has yet to take off.
The ministry has also decided to review all the rejected claims of land title deeds that were to be given to the tribals to wean them away from Maoists. Officials feel that a key reason of tribal angst is rejection of genuine claims in many cases as majority of tribals only have anecdotal evidence to prove their claim to their land.

Remember Me
Next up was Split Lip Rayfield, whose progressive punk-jamgrass was just as full of spunk and off-beat charm as ever. Meanwhile, Joe Purdy took the stage in the Revival Tent not too far away. An Arkansas native known for his country-chart-topping hit "Wash Away," featured in the 2004 season of ABC's television series Lost, Purdy might be compared to Jack Johnson, Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne.
Lightnin' Malcolm & Cedric Burnside gave the people what they wanted. Think a Dirty South, blues-rock version of The White Stripes. This duo brought it, oblivious to whether anyone was appreciative or not - but the fans were. Burnside, the grandson of blues great R.L. Burnside and son of famous drummer Calvin Jackson, is himself fast becoming renowned for his skills on the drums. And his guitarist, Lightnin Malcolm, who toured for years with such blues stars as Cedell Davis, R.L. Burnside, T Model Ford and Otha Turner, will tear your heart out as he shreds both traditional and cutting-edge blues licks.
Next up was dinner break and Underground Orchestra in the Outpost Tent. UO is a Los Angeles-based rock/progressive fusion band, as the members like to say, and consists of Ben Baruch, Ej Wasik, Chris Michetti (formerly of Raq) and Garrett Sayers (formerly of The Motet); Steve Molitz (Phil Lesh and Friends, Particle) joined the boys on keys for the weekend. The group killed it in both performances at Wakarusa as they rocked their particular version of jazz, funk, fusion and Middle Eastern melodies - all done in the jam band style. UO ended its Thursday show with a unique version of Daft Punk's "Robot Rock."
But, shortly after their start, Steve Kimock Crazy Engine took the Main Stage. We cut out for that, having fallen in love with Kimock a few years back at a performance with Donna Jean and Friends in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This time around, Kimock was playing with Melvin Seals on keyboards, Janis Wallin on bass and his son John Morgan Kimock on drums. Steve Kimock didn't disappoint; the show was just as pleasing as ever, with melodic tunes and rifts taking your ears as well as your spirit up and down and back and forth on waves of musical ability. He brought it to a head with "That's What Love Will Make You Do," followed by the closer, "Fiyo On The Bayou," with George Porter Jr. running over after his set to sit-in for Janis Wallin on bass. Great stuff. I wrote in my notebook: "I know I just ate dinner not too long ago, but sitting here listening to this, I feel fat and happy in more than one way."
Next, I got firmly planted in a great spot, ready for Railroad Earth to blow me away. And did they ever! Railroad Earth, I would swear, has been on Phish tour recently. And Panic tour. And has been hanging out with Dylan, and any other artists that might inspire the members of one of bluegrass' most improvisational and creative bands. Yes, I said it. Railroad Earth - which never ranked that highly in my book until this weekend - took their musical talents to a whole new level on Thursday night, and they had an out-of-this-world visual experience to match, in the form of an amazing light show that neither distracted from the music nor distorted the experience.
Next up was Thursday headliner No. 2, Gov't Mule, an admitted favorite. The band, led of course by guitar magic man Warren Haynes, opened the two-hour show with "Blind Man in the Dark" and then "Streamline Woman," which prompted me to jot down, "Nitty gritty rock 'n' roll! Particularly crisp and sharp as a knife!" (I was beside myself.) Haynes really got the crowd worked up with a rousing rendition of "Don't Step on the Grass Sam," and he kept them in a frenzy by quickly going into the sing-along favorite Radiohead cover, "Creep." The drum work on "Thorazine Shuffle" was highly impressive, and was followed by a version of "Sugaree" that was so lovingly sung by Haynes you'd have thought he wrote it. If you've ever seen Gov't Mule, you already know they encored with "Soulshine." I've seen better encores from this band, but not better shows.
Although I barely caught any of it before I crashed for the night, I did grab a glimpse of Dirtfoot's late night show on the Backwoods Stage. How to describe Dirtfoot? This Louisiana band is part redneck tribal dance music, part Cajun slam rock, part New Orleans jazz and part jamgrass, sort of. Funky sax on "Gonna Get Ya," smooth sax intro on "Back of a Stranger." The vocals are spoken on many songs, but they're nice when sung, like on "Back of a Stranger," and the lead singer's voice reminds me of Metallica. The strong polka backdrop of "Break My Bones" is fun, after it finishes catching you off guard. And that was about all the live music I could take for one day. Good night to me!

The Swan Center Performs More Breast Augmentations Than Any other Plastic Surgery Center in Atlanta, GA
For breast augmentation, Atlanta's The Swan Center is the area leader. The Swan Center's experienced board certified plastic surgeons perform more breast augmentation surgeries than any other practice in Atlanta.
Alpharetta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) December 29, 2010
The statistics are in, and when it comes to breast augmentation, Atlanta's The Swan Center performs more than any other board certified plastic surgeons in Atlanta. Women come from all around the region to The Swan Center for breast augmentation. Atlanta surgeons Dr. Bauer, Dr. Fardo, and Dr. Alderman are known for their ability to use the latest techniques to create aesthetically pleasing contours.
The Swan Center founder, Dr. Bauer, said, "The implant manufacturer's have given us feedback for 2010, and they have reported to us that we complete more primary breast augmentation surgeries than any other private practice in the Atlanta area."
When asked about The Swan Center's success with this particular surgery, Dr. Bauer continues, "Anyone can perform breast augmentation. Atlanta women come to The Swan Center because we are considered leaders in the breast care industry."
In addition, Mentor, one of the largest implant manufacturers and with breast implants being made right here in USA, invited a group of their highest volume plastic surgeons to be part of a group that meets yearly to discuss all things pertaining to breast surgery. It is called LEADS and by invitation only. Dr. Bauer is part of that elite group and works on multiple clinical implant trials.
Bauer again, "Our surgeons have an eye for aesthetic beauty and know how to enhance a woman's existing curves, creating breasts with natural curves and motion that enhance, rather than detract from, her inward beauty."
"We often find that it takes very little change for a woman to feel more beautiful and confident, and our patients are thrilled with the results they receive when they visit us," he continues.
Other advantages which have helped The Swan Center earn the accolade of performing more breast augmentations in Atlanta, The Swan Center uses cutting edge procedures to optimize results. Patients undergo surgery in one of the private, on-site accredited surgical suites, which are approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
"We believe that our surgery center offers women the best options for their breast surgery," stated Dr. Bauer. "Our location and surgical suites promote privacy, while our state-of-the-art equipment and commitment to patient safety ensures procedures go well."
The Swan Center offers multiple breast surgery options, including those with minimal scarring. While breast augmentation in Atlanta is the first choice of many women, the surgeons sometimes find that another surgery will bring greater results. Options include breast correction, breast lift, breast reconstruction, internal fold reconstruction and breast reduction. The surgeons at The Swan Center are dedicated to choosing the procedure that will help each individual patient achieve optimum results.
Patients who do opt for the popular breast augmentation procedure have several options for their implants. All fall into two basic categories: silicone and saline. Both provide advantages and disadvantages, but Dr. Bauer believes his practice performs more breast augmentations due to the wonderful patient and doctor referrals received daily. In addition, the surgeons use their expertise in helping each patient decide the implant type and method by which to perform the procedure that matches the patient goals, which is paramount.

The march of big ticket Brit pop-rock acts continues. After Snow Patrol, now comes Keane, a four pieceband best known for their melodic, piano-driven ballads like "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Everybody' Changing."
Keane is presently composed of Tim Rice-Oxley on piano and synthesizers, drummer Richard Hughes, bassist Jesse Quin and vocalist/guitarist Tom Chaplin. The band was formed in 1997 with founding member and guitarist Dominic Scott leaving the group in 2001.
In the press briefing held on Monday, October 1, Tim Rice-Oxley said, "We play sad, melancholic songs to get the misery out. Most of the time, we're okay. Some of the best songs are sad ones really. Most of the songs on the album are hopeful though."
Hey, guitars!
Keane are on tour behind their latest and fourth studio release, "Strangeland", which finds the band in a more upbeat mood. The wistful tracks, however, still get played a lot.
There's the compellingly emotive "Silenced By The Night," the bittersweet "Watch How You Go" and throwbacks to the old Keane sound, "Disconnected" and "Day Will Come." A fine contrast is in the fist-pumping declarations in "Neon River."
"Strangeland" is also the first time for the band to use guitars to tighten up the established piano-pop sound.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — U2's latest live show included a call to fight AIDS, condemnation of the 1974 car bombings in Ireland, the voice of Stephen Hawking, high-tech stage gimmicks and just over two hours of music, including most of its 2014 album, "Songs of Innocence." …

A version of the Form 1042-S instructions was released in late June 2014. It appears that the IRS re-released these instructions to correct a couple of errors. For example, see the references to line 17—the former version of the instructions mistakenly had this line listed as recipient country code and not recipient GIIN.
The 26-page instructions [PDF 395 KB] explain that Form 1042-S for 2014 has been revised to add the reporting of payments and amounts withheld under the FATCA provisions of chapter 4 as well as amounts required to be reported under the withholding rules of chapter 3.
Form 1042-S requires the reporting of an applicable exemption to the extent withholding under chapter 4 did not apply to a payment of U.S source fixed or determinable annual or periodical (FDAP) income (including deposit interest) that is reportable on Form 1042-S.
When a financial institution reports a payment made to its financial account, Form 1042-S also requires the reporting of additional information about a recipient of the payment—e.g., the recipient's account number, date of birth, and foreign taxpayer identification number.
For withholding agents, intermediaries, flow-through entities, and recipients, Form 1042-S requires that the chapter 3 status (or classification) and, when the payment reported is a "withholdable payment," the chapter 4 status be reported.

Jerry Jones: Nobody I'd rather have than Monte Kiffin
DEC 10, 2013 2:20p ET
The Cowboys gave up 490 yards and 33 first downs while never forcing Chicago to punt the entire game.
But Kiffin is still the right man for the job, according to the Cowboys owner and general manager.
"He's just got the right attitude," Jones said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. "Now, to be doing what we're doing and to fix what we're doing, there's nobody I'd rather have than him and Rod Marinelli. And where we are today, to get this fixed over the next, if you would, week or four or five days … ain't nobody I'd rather have to get it fixed.
"First of all, he knows what's happening to us better than anyone. And if there are adjustments to be made, he's the right man for the job."
Jones even went on to describe some of the defensive adjustments that he saw in the second half.
"We tried to put more pressure later in the game," Jones said. "We did hurry [Bears quarterback Josh McCown] up some. That did help us in the game. We did run some equivalent to blitzes, I'm not so sure if they weren't just stunts, but still, we did make some adjustments there later in the game."
What is probably most surprising of all is that Jones wasn't critical of Kiffin despite his defensive unit being manhandled by an offense that Jones didn't think that highly of.
"This team last night was, we didn't think the kind of team that should have been able to be that effective against us," Jones said. "I will say this, they're a good offensive team. The quarterback was able to get the ball to all those big receivers. That really gave us fits and changed it up for us real good."
McCown, a backup playing in place of an injured Jay Cutler, performed like a Pro Bowler. The 34-year-old journeyman completed 75 percent of his passes for 348 yards, four touchdowns and a 141.9 QB rating.

Two Heat Championships Later, All Of Florida Becomes A Basketball Town
There's now proof that South Florida has become a basketball town. In fact, after two Miami Heat championships, all of Florida seems to be smitten by LeBron's team.
That's at least according to data released today on the number of Florida specialty plates. It shows that the Miami Heat tag has surpassed the plates for all other Florida pro sports teams.
In 2011, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had more specialty plates issued than any other pro sports team in the state, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
But the Heat last year surpassed the Bucs, with 30,526 plates for Miami's back-to-back champions. That's enough to raise the Heat to the 10th most popular tag among Florida's 120 specialty plates.
The rest of South Florida's sports teams didn't fare as well. The stuck-in-a-slump Dolphins ranked 27th, the last-place Marlins 78th, and the won-fewer-games-than-anyone Panthers landed near the bottom at 85th.
A Heat spokeswoman was not available for comment.
Proceeds from the state's specialty plate program benefit charitable organizations. Drivers who agreed to pay an extra $25 registration fee for a Miami Heat tag indirectly gave money to the Professional Sports Development Trust Fund and the Florida Sports Foundation.
Colleges top the list of specialty plates, with the University of Florida coming in first, followed by Florida State.
Next came plates that benefit sea turtles, dolphins and panthers, respectively. So that means plates benefiting wild dolphins and panthers far outsold plates representing the pro Dolphins and Panthers.

SEATTLE -- Haven't used your Good-to-Go pass yet? You may want to watch out for the state's inactivity fee.
If you don't incur any tolls after 24 months, the state will close your account. You're entitled to a refund, but not before the state deducts $5 for inactivity.
There's still costs associated to managing those accounts, we really want people who have accounts to be users of the facility, said Patty Rubstello, Toll Development Director for the state Transportation Department.
But some state lawmakers were not pleased to learn of the fee.
The five dollar administrative fee is too large, it's not legal, at least in my opinion, said Rep. Ross Hunter.
Seven years ago, Hunter sponsored the bill making it illegal for gift cards to expire. At the time, people were upset that retailers were charging inactivity fees that automatically reduced the value of gift cards.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander, in this case, and if we're not going to let private vendors do it, I'm not sure why we would do the same thing, said Hunter.
WSDOT says the inactivity fee was introduced with tolling on the Narrows Bridge. Rubstello says drivers are warned after 18 months of inactivity on their account.
Some drivers who signed up early for 520 tolling may be hitting that 18-month mark pretty soon.
While the state delayed the start of tolling on 520, the clock on inactivity kept ticking from the time drivers opened accounts.
True, yes, it does, but presumably most of those people that signed up anticipate and expect to use 520, said Rubstello.
Rubstello says if you're not using your Good-to-Go account, you can avoid inactivity fees by closing your account early or incurring a toll on 520, the Narrows Bridge or 167.
Alternatively, you can add money to your account. That's considered activity, though you'd be putting more money into an account you haven't used.

Relationship between landslides and logging is a complex science
However, what nearly all the media reports failed to acknowledge is that while science supports the idea that logging can contribute to the occurrence of some kinds of landslides, research has not demonstrated the same cause-and-effect relationship for other landslide types. Like many things in the natural world, landslides are extremely complex and no two are exactly alike. Therefore, it's no surprise that some landslides are more susceptible to the effects of logging than others.
One way geologists characterize landslides is based on "depth." When a landslide occurs, the mass of soil, sediment, and rock that moves downslope breaks away from the underlying earth along what is known as a "failure plane." It is the depth of this failure plane below the ground surface that is often used to classify landslides. "Shallow" landslides are those where the failure plane is within the rooting zone of vegetation — generally about 10 to 15 feet below the ground surface. "Deep-seated" landslides, such as the Oso landslide, are those where the failure plane is several tens or even hundreds of feet below the ground surface.
Research into the effects of logging on landslides over the past four decades has shown that timber harvesting on steep, concave (or bowl-shaped) slopes increases the incidence of shallow landslides. Studies have found a link between timber harvesting and shallow landslides by comparing the rate of landslides in harvested areas with the rate of landslides in mature forests over long periods of time. The primary logging-related factor that contributes to more frequent landslides on steep, concave slopes is thought to be the loss of tree-root strength. Tree roots help bind soil particles together and reinforce the slope. When trees are harvested, the root systems of the cut trees decay over a period of several years. At the same time, newly planted trees haven't had time to develop extensive root systems. The slow root decay of the harvested trees combined with the limited root systems of new trees results in an overall reduction in total root strength, making the slope more susceptible to shallow landslides.
Unlike shallow landslides, deep-seated landslides like the one that occurred near Oso are not affected by root strength since the failure plane lies well below the rooting zone of trees. Then how, you might ask, could logging trigger a deep landslide? Good question. For those who believe logging influences deep-seated landslides, their rationale is based on the principle that timber harvesting increases the amount of water entering the ground and more water entering the ground can destabilize the slope. Seems reasonable right? The problem is, we don't know if or to what extent increases in groundwater attributable to timber harvesting affect water tables that are tens or even hundreds of feet below the ground surface. Groundwater flow within deep-seated landslides is often highly variable, so to say that increases in groundwater that result from timber harvesting can trigger deep slope movement is to oversimplify a very complex issue. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, there are many examples of deep-seated landslides throughout western Washington where early logging practices removed large portions of the trees covering both the landslide and the slopes above the landslide, yet there was no detectable deep slope movement.
If timber harvesting clearly influenced deep-seated landslides, researchers would have used these historic "experiments" to discern a cause-and-effect relationship just as they've done with shallow landslides. Instead, the historic record seems to support the notion that deep-seated landslides are generally indifferent to the effects of timber harvesting.
What happened near Oso the morning of March 22 is an incredible tragedy. Forty-three lives were lost and thousands more were seriously affected. As a society, we will learn from what happened and those lessons may very well lead to changes in public policy. Let's hope those policy changes are informed by sound science and a clear understanding of what we know and don't know about landslides, the factors that affect them, and the threats they pose to public safety and the natural resources we value.
Jeff Grizzel is a licensed engineering geologist in the state of Washington and a "qualified expert" under Washington's Forest Practices rules governing landslide risk assessment. He worked for the Washington Department of Natural Resources from 1994 through 2010 and is currently employed as the natural resources director with the Grant County Public Utility District in Ephrata, Washington.

Washington, D.C.-based White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group partner, Philip T. Inglima, speaks to Global Investigations Review regarding his experience with subpoenas being blocked by a judge, even when it appears that all the appropriate steps have been taken to avoid a waiver or broad disclosure of the privileged materials. "These types of subpoena requests are becoming routine now, so companies are having to be ever more careful in making disclosures or presenting evidence to the DOJ so as not to waive attorney-client privilege and work product protection," states Inglima. "Delivering limited presentations orally is one way of reducing the risk."
Crowell & Moring's White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group has been named as one of Law360's 10 "FCPA Powerhouses" for its prowess handling Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA) matters. The Law360 editors noted, "With Foreign Corrupt Practices Act experience tracing back to the firm's founding in the late 1970s, Crowell & Moring LLP has continued to make its mark in the arena, recently guiding Ralph Lauren Corp. and a Lindsey Manufacturing Co. Executive to successful outcomes in FCPA cases." The factors considered in selecting the winners included the number of attorneys at the firm working on FCPA matters and contributions to this developing area of law, including working on landmark FCPA cases, as well as client representations and outcomes.
Phil Inglima, partner in the firm's White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group and resident of the Washington, D.C. office, tells Law360 why he is concerned about the shrinking pardon power of the president, and about how his mentor helped him become the lawyer he is today in Law360's "Practice Leader Q&A."
