by John MacMurray — For most Progressives, the idea that the Republican Party got out in front of us on a major social issue is both galling, and difficult to believe.

Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.

Exclusive Video: Mike Orlando of Adrenaline Mob Discusses Recording Van Halen's "Romeo Delight"
Exclusive Video: Mike Orlando of Adrenaline Mob Discusses Recording Van Halen's "Romeo Delight"
Related Content
Adrenaline Mob have released a second video of the band in the studio covering Van Halen's "Romeo Delight."
The song is on the band's upcoming release, Coverta, an eight-track EP featuring covers of some of the band's favorite songs. Longtime Portnoy fans know about the many cover CDs he's released with Dream Theater and with Neal Morse.
Watch the first part of the video here, and check out the EP's track listing below.
Adrenaline Mob — Russell Allen (Symphony X), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), John Moyer (Disturbed) and Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp) — will kick off a US tour on March 12. You can check out all the current dates here.
Coverta is Adrenaline Mob's first CD of covers. Here's the full track listing:
01. "High Wire," Badlands
02. "Stand Up and Shout," Dio
03. "Break on Through," The Doors
04. "Romeo Delight," Van Halen (Check out the video below!)
05. "Barracuda," Heart
06. "Kill the King," Rainbow
07. "The Lemon Song," Led Zeppelin
08. "The Mob Rules," Black Sabbath
"Recording 'Romeo Delight' was an absolute blast for me," Orlando said. "I grew up listening to EVH, and from the moment I heard 'Eruption,' I was hooked for life! Tracking the guitars was such a blast, as I plugged in my white-and-black Charvel, my trusty ol' MXR Phase 90 and went right into my cranked-up Marshall JCM800, entering that EVH zone and giving my all to pay tribute to one of the greatest rock guitarists ever! We had a great time with Mike Portnoy's idea to insert a medley of kick-ass VH parts in the mid-section while going into a great treat before we head back to the final chorus!"

An Easy Solution to PVP Bounds and Cabal Hell
Philip Wadler: Pension cuts - respond to USS
The UCU has lain down its placards and ended the strike to avoid cuts to pensions. Our one remaining hope is for members to make their outrage known in the USS consultation exercise, which ends 22 May 2015. I hope everyone with a USS pension will respond. Suggested responses from UCU Left and UCU are linked; please comment below, especially to list other suggested responses.
Universities UK argue that the reductions are necessary to avoid a deficit, but their claim has been widely criticised. A group of prominent statisticians point out Universities UK inflated the deficit by assuming a buoyant economy when predicting future salaries but assuming a recession when predicting investment returns.
In 2011, Universities UK imposed vastly reduced pensions on new hires. Old hires who pay into the pension fund for forty years receive a pension of one-half their final salary; new hires who do the same receive a pension of one-half their average salary. Basing pensions on average rather than final salary may be sensible, but to do so with no little or no adjustment in multiplier suggests employers used this as an excuse to slip in a large cut; new hires receive about 2/3 the benefits received by old hires. All staff also suffered other cuts to pensions: additional caps and less good adjustment for inflation. At the time, it was predicted that within a few years old hires would be moved to the inferior scheme for new hires, and that is what has now come to pass.
Like many in USS, employees and employers alike, I am concerned that the changes will make UK academia a less attractive option for potential scholars.
Journal of Functional Programming - Call for PhD Abstracts
Journal of Functional Programming
Deadline: 30th April 2015
Many students complete PhDs in functional programming each year, but there is currently no common location in which to promote and advertise the resulting work. The Journal of Functional Programming would like to change that!
As a service to the community, JFP recently launched a new feature, in the form of a regular publication of abstracts from PhD dissertations that were completed during the previous year. The abstracts are made freely available on the JFP website, i.e. not behind any paywall, and do not require any transfer for copyright, merely a license from the author.
Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the instructions below. A dissertation is eligible if parts of it have or could have appeared in JFP, that is, if it is in the general area of functional programming. JFP will not have these abstracts reviewed. We welcome submissions from both the PhD student and PhD advisor/ supervisor although we encourage them to coordinate.
Please submit the following information to Graham Hutton firstname.lastname@example.com by 30th April 2015.
o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle)
o Student: (full name)
o Awarding institution: (full name and country)
o Date of PhD award: (month and year; depending on the institution, this may be the date of the viva, corrections being approved, graduation ceremony, or otherwise)
o Advisor/supervisor: (full names)
o Dissertation URL: (please provide a permanently accessible link to the dissertation if you have one, such as to an institutional repository or other public archive; links to personal web pages should be considered a last resort)
o Dissertation abstract: (plain text, maximum 1000 words; you may use \emph{...} for emphasis, but we prefer no other markup or formatting in the abstract, but do get in touch if this causes significant problems)
Please do not submit a copy of the dissertation itself, as this is not required. JFP reserves the right to decline to publish abstracts that are not deemed appropriate.

Data.EnumMap ?
base-compat updated for recent AMP/Foldable/Traversable changes
I updated base-compat to incorporate the AMP/Foldable/Traversable changes from base-126.96.36.199.
This update allows you to write code that relies on the new Prelude and works seamlessly with all versions of GHC back to 6.12.1, e.g.:import Prelude () import Prelude.Compat main :: IO () main = mapM_ print (Just 23)
Note that we usemapM_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m ()
from Data.Foldable here, which is only exposed from Prelude since base-184.108.40.206.

Toby Goodwin: Building ghcjs with ghc-7.10.1
I've been doing some work recently with the wonderful ghcjs. This is an incredibly exciting project, but it's still early days, and actually building the compiler can be tricky, particularly if you want to use the also-new-and-exciting ghc-7.10.1. I've created this recipe that has worked for me several times, and I hope it may be useful to others too.Prerequisites
You will need some version of ghc installed (presumably from your distro), happy, alex, and cabal. You will also need gcc and gcc-c++: if you do not have the C++ compiler you will get confusing error messages that /bin/cpp failed sanity check.
I usually create a brand new user to make a test build, so that my usual development user can keep working, even if the build fails. Then I'll copy the ghc binaries to my usual user, and repeat the build of ghcjs and its deps. (It's awkward to copy built packages, as they have paths wired into them. There is a way around this, but I'd rather burn some more CPU cycles.)Recipe
Download the ghc source.
Unpack, and configure with ./configure --prefix /home/ghcjs (or whatever the correct path is). Build with make -j5 (where 5 is one more than the number of CPU cores you have available). Install with make install
Install cabal:cabal update git clone https://github.com/haskell/cabal.git cabal install ./cabal/Cabal ./cabal/cabal-install
Ensure that ~/.cabal/bin is on path, that cabal install --help includes the --ghcjs option, and that ghc-pkg list Cabal lists Cabal-188.8.131.52.
Install versions of some libraries patched to build with ghc-7.10.1:git clone https://github.com/seereason/haskell-src-meta git clone https://github.com/seereason/ansi-wl-pprint --branch pr-base48 git clone https://github.com/seereason/wl-pprint-text git clone https://github.com/seereason/stringsearch cabal install ./haskell-src-meta ./ansi-wl-pprint ./wl-pprint-text ./stringsearch
The tar package specifies old-time by default, which causes problems, so build it with the correct flag:cabal install -f-old-time tar
I can't quite remember why the lens build needs to be pulled out, but anyway:cabal install lens
Install development version of haddock: --allow-newer is needed to cure an outdated upper-bound in haddock-api:git clone https://github.com/haskell/haddock.git cabal install --allow-newer ./haddock/haddock-api ./haddock/haddock-library
Finally we are ready to install ghcjs itself:git clone https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs-prim.git git clone https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs.git cabal install ./ghcjs ./ghcjs-prim ghcjs-boot --dev --ghcjs-boot-dev-branch ghc-7.10
That's all folks!$ ghcjs -V The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System for JavaScript, version 0.1.0 (GHC 7.10.1) Notes
I will endeavour to keep this document up to date as packages evolve. If you do encounter any trouble following these instructions, I'd like to hear about it.
An alternative approach to installing ghcjs is to use the Nix package manager: ryantrinkle has been working hard on a Nix ghcjs package. I've not had the chance to look at this yet, but will do so as soon as time permits.

My wife and I stayed here for New Year's Eve and we paid just $72 for booking early... I was told it was a mistake on the Internet and they honored the price.
We walked into the room to see few cardboard boxes stacked up and were told this is where the front desk person slept.
For a few hours of sleep I thought the price was great and the room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. I would recommend a fan in the room as there is no air circulation. They had 2 portable heaters in the rooms as well ( didn't understand why).
Another thing was their uphill drive way had frozen ice..my brand new Honda Accord barely made it up. This was the only unpleasant experience I had at this motel.

Suspect in Omaha arrest: Don't fire cops
The officers involved shouldn't lose their jobs, Robert Wagner said
By Jason Kuiper
Omaha World-Herald
OMAHA, Neb. — The Omaha assault suspect shown on a video being kicked while subdued by Omaha police officers says the officers involved shouldn't lose their jobs, but more officers should be disciplined for not stepping in.
Robert A. Wagner, 35, was in court Tuesday for a scheduled pretrial hearing, which was delayed.
He faces a charge of third-degree assault on an officer that his lawyer says is likely to be dropped, though Douglas County prosecutors disagree.
After the hearing was delayed, Wagner said police command staff at the scene didn't step in to protect him and should have. But, he said, the two officers the city has moved to fire should not lose their livelihoods. A suspension and extra training would be punishment enough, he said.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks sign first baseman Kila Ka'aihue
There's no doubt that Paul Goldschmidt is the first baseman of the present and future for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But over the Thanksgiving holiday, general manager Kevin Towers added some insurance behind Goldschmidt going into the 2013 season.
Arizona agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with 28-year-old Kila Ka'aihue.
The Hawaiian first baseman spent of part of the 2012 season -- 4 HR and 14 RBI in 128 plate appearances -- with the Oakland Athletics before being designated for assignment in June.
Ka'aihue was drafted in the 15h round of the 2002 amateur draft by the Kansas Royals, and spent the first four years of his professional career with the organization from 2008-2011.
After being designated for assignment last season, the six-foot-four left-handed batter hit .256 with 15 home runs in sixty-six games.
The Diamondbacks used Lyle Overbay and Mike Jacobs to back up Goldschmidt a season ago, although the second-year first baseman played in 145 games.

Microsoft (MSFT) late Thursday narrowly beat Wall Street's profit forecast for the December quarter, but it came up short on revenue as Windows PC sales disappointed.
Microsoft earned 76 cents a share, down 3% from the year-earlier quarter but a penny better than analysts had predicted. Sales rose 3% to $21.46 billion, vs. Wall Street's target of $21.53 billion.
It was Microsoft's second quarter in a row of lower earnings.
Microsoft didn't give specific sales and earnings guidance for the March quarter.
Microsoft shares were down 2% in after-hours trading, after the earnings release. Shares rose a fraction in Thursday's regular session.
The fiscal Q2 report "wasn't that great, basically in line with lowered expectations," MKM Partners analyst Israel Hernandez said.
Windows sales were "not that hot" considering the company has begun a new upgrade cycle with Windows 8, which debuted Oct. 26. That same day, Microsoft started selling its first branded computers, the Surface tablet-notebook convertible. Microsoft was mum on sales figures for the new device.
"The fact that they didn't give us Surface unit sales tells you something," Hernandez said.
Microsoft's Windows division saw sales rise 24% to $5.88 billion, including deferred revenue from presales of its Windows 8 operating system in previous quarters. Excluding Windows 8 presales, Windows revenue rose 11%.
Microsoft said it's sold more than 60 million licenses for Windows 8 software to date.
The company's server and tools division posted $5.19 billion in sales, up 9%, driven by double-digit percentage revenue growth in SQL Server and System Center.
Microsoft's business division, which includes the Office software suite, saw revenue fall 10% to $5.69 billion. But including deferred sales of the soon-to-be-released next version of Office, sales rose 3%. Microsoft plans to release Office 2013 this quarter. Microsoft's productivity server offerings, including Lync, SharePoint and Exchange, continued to experience double-digit percentage growth.
"Server and tools on the enterprise side is still a real winner for them," said Allan Krans, an analyst with Technology Business Research.
The entertainment and devices division, which includes Xbox video games and Windows phones, saw sales fall 11% to $3.77 billion.
And Microsoft's online services unit, which includes Bing and MSN, continued its losing ways. It lost $283 million on sales of $869 million, up 11%. Losses narrowed.
For the current quarter, Wall Street expects Microsoft to earn 78 cents a share, up 30%, on sales of $20.76 billion, up 19%.
Analysts see Microsoft's June quarter EPS up 21% to 81 cents and sales up 19% to $21.53 billion.
It's too soon to write off Windows 8, Krans says. He says sales look fairly promising, given the market conditions.
"Expectations have been tempered by the shift in the market. This is not as PC-focused a world today," Krans said. Windows 8 "certainly doesn't have the excitement of prior releases, when PCs were really the main computing device that people were using."
Tablet computers from Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) and smartphones from Apple and Samsung are driving tech spending.
Next up for Microsoft is the release of a high-end version of Surface for professionals on Feb. 8. The Windows 8 Surface Pro will retail starting at $899. The Surface Pro uses Intel (INTC) processors, has a full version of Windows 8 and can run all Windows PC software.

Savor the end of blueberry season with a dessert that moves easily from kitchen to sukkah.
Blueberry season is just coming to an end, so take advantage of this recipe to utilize the last surge of berries in these cute, pop tart-like desserts. Of course, in the United States you can buy berries almost year round, and frozen would work as well here.
The juices of the blueberries have a tendency to ooze out as they cook, even if you seal the edges as best you can: It doesn't really bother me, I kind of like the "rustic" look.
Kids - and adults - will love having their own individual pies to hold in their hand and snack on, and they're much easier for transport as well.

May 31 marks the 25th anniversary of World No Tobacco Day, but does the day really inspire anyone to think about quitting smoking? Yes it does, according to a new study led by investigators from the Informatics Program at Children's Hospital Boston and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. For the study, the research team monitored news promoting cessation and Internet search queries indicative of cessation for six years in seven Latin American nations. Cessation news coverage and Internet search queries for cessation peaked on World No Tobacco Day, increasing as much as 83 percent and 84 percent compared to a typical day, respectively. Their findings appear in the May/June issue of Journal of Medical Internet Research.
"After 25 years we didn't know if World No Tobacco Day was having a significant public health impact," said John W. Ayers, lead author of the study, Children's Hospital faculty member and recent graduate of the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Frankly, given the proliferation of awareness days, we were surprised to find large spikes pointing to interest in cessation."
Senior analyst and Bloomberg doctoral candidate Benjamin Althouse noted, "We generally think of New Year's Day as the peak time when media encourages quitting and smokers want to quit. World No Tobacco Day spikes, however, often outsized New Year's increases, like a second-chance quitting resolution."
"People who live in low-and middle-income countries comprise a majority of the deaths from the global tobacco epidemic. Our study provides initial evidence that World No Tobacco Day encourages cessation awareness and cessation interest in these countries," said Joanna Cohen, PhD, who leads the Bloomberg School'sInstitute for Global Tobacco Control. "The majority of smokers do want to quit, and World No Tobacco Day is an effective reminder and inspiration."

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
And so it begins. A federal judge has struck down Utah's law against cohabitation, saying it violates the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. The decision is a major win for polygamists and represents the slope that marriage in our country is on.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Marriage & Family
Keywords: marriage, Utah, plural marriage, polygamy, law, gay marriage, defense
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - As gay marriage becomes commonplace, other forms of "marriage" become more likely to find acceptance in the mainstream. Among the more controversial forms of marriage is polygamy, most commonly practiced in the United States by Fundamentalist Mormons, an early offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Following the death of Joseph Smith and other early Mormon leaders, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) abandoned polygamy as an acceptable practice. The church was under fire from the Federal Government for decades, at times literally, until it officially abandoned the practice in 1904. Since then, mainstream Mormonism has eschewed polygamy.
Keep family close to your heart.
However, a fundamentalist offshoot of the Mormon Church continued the practice and an estimated 40,000 individuals are said to be living in Utah within the context of polygamous marriages.
Polygamous marriage was routine practice in ancient times, particularly by the ancient Hebrews as documented by Old Testament scriptures. According to the Mormons, polygamy was a natural response to the attrition of men during the early days of their faith when they were displaced to Utah and the West.
The Catholic Church, in its two-thousand years of history, has never endorsed polygamy and has always and exclusively accepted marriage as between one man and one woman only, until death do they part.
Today, Mormon Church has done much to defend marriage, even supporting legislation to protect marriage as between one man and one woman, which is the traditional Christian definition as well as the traditional legal definition in the United States and the industrialized world.
The most recent federal ruling however, paves the way for polygamous marriages to become more commonplace and routine. In other words, polygamy will spread as Utah loses the power to enforce its own laws.
The problem with polygamy is that it isn't a healthy way for modern families to live. Although those engaged in polygamous marriages often describe themselves as happy, and their fellow wives as "sister wives" those women who have left the practice say it is oppressive and traumatizing.
One woman gave an interview to the Daily Mail. Marion Munn, now living in Britain told the Daily Mail, "The only way that I can explain it is like living with adultery on a daily basis, and having the woman come home. On top of that you have to smile and pretend that everything's okay because that's part of the culture too."
Munn explained to the Daily Mail that most women do not feel the marriages are equal, nor do they enter into them freely. Instead, women are pressured into the marriages by peers and religious practice.
Exiting the faith, particularly one in which a person is raised, can also be difficult, especially if the entire family support structure is grounded in the religion.
Also, polygamous marriages can lead to child sexual abuse. There have been some cases where family religious figureheads have engaged underage children in "marriages." Fundamentalist Mormon sect leader Warren Jeffs is serving a long prison sentence for just that crime and has been labeled as a child sex offender. While it should be understood that pedophilia and child sex offenses will occur even within the context of monogamy, polygamous religious sects with a tradition of underage marriages reinforce the practice with religious belief, making it exceptionally difficult for a child below the age of consent to escape.
Now, with the blessing of the First Amendment, these families will face less scrutiny and the danger to vulnerable children may increase.
All this is a natural consequence of permitting other forms of "marriage" to share par with traditional marriage.
The federal ruling will allow polygamous families to become open about their marriages without fearing arrest. As for the rest of us, we shudder to ponder what's next.

Among those paying their respects to long-serving Conservative councillor Colin Bothwell was the town's MP Greg Clark, who described the 70-year-old as 'warm, generous, funny and kind - a local hero'.
Cllr Bothwell passed away on Thursday last week. He had served as a borough councillor for 10 years, representing Southborough and High Brooms, but had been a Southborough Town Councillor even longer.
He was the mayor of Southborough from 2009 to 2010.
He sat on numerous committees, including six years as vice chairman of the borough's licensing committee.
William Benson, the chief executive for Tunbridge Wells council, said: "Colin was an exceptional councillor whose enthusiasm and commitment infected those around him.
"He was extremely popular within the Town Hall for his positive outlook on life and his passion for serving the people of Southborough and Tunbridge Wells. He will be sorely missed.'
Cllr Bothwell was born in Essex and moved to Fordcombe in 1962, where he worked as a herdsman on a farm.
As a hobby he took up dancing at the Court School of Dancing in Tunbridge Wells, which was where he met his wife Susan.
They married in 1967, and had two children Tracey and Paul.
Cllr Bothwell joined the Prudential insurance company in 1969 and worked for the firm for the next 30 years.
The couple moved to Southborough, Mrs Bothwell's home town, 33 years ago.
He later said of Southborough: "It's a wonderful town; I wouldn't want to live anywhere else."
He had a long interest in community issues, starting as a school governor in 1982. He became a Southborough Town
Councillor in 1984 and a Borough Councillor in 2004.
He was chairman of Age Concern Southborough for five years, and was also an ambassador to Southborough Brownies and Guides.
A member of Southborough and Pembury Rotary Club, he was also president of Tunbridge Wells Multiple Sclerosis Society, and a committee member for Southborough Twinning Association.
He was aware that he had cancer when he was appointed deputy mayor last May, but vowed to soldier on and attend as many community events as possible.
In his tribute, Mr Clark added: "Colin was a staunch Conservative, and a great campaigner for our party. But politics was never divisive with Colin. It's a mark of the man that people who were his political opponents were also among his closest friends."
A funeral service will be held at St Peter's Church, Southborough, on Wednesday at 11am. This will be followed by a cremation at the Tunbridge Wells Crematorium at 1pm. Family flowers only.

Elton John will be the subject of a stage musical as well as a film biopic in the coming years.
The John musical will be called "Rocketman," according to Sally Greene — who runs the Old Vic Theatre in London — and will be produced after the film of the same name, which is set to star "Mad Max's" Tom Hardy as John. The film is currently in production, while the stage show is some years off although the team that worked with John on his musical adaptation of the film "Billy Elliot" is already on the case.
Greene says "Rocketman" will open on Broadway before coming to England.

We used Reggae Tours to transport us to and from the airport to our resort - Iberostar Grand Rose Hall. Then, we used them for our excursion to Mystic Mountain and Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios.

Even before we...
Easy booking, excellent service, great customer service. Used Reggae Tours as transportation from MBJ to our resort Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton in Montego Bay. I was able to book online and received confirmation and directions via email. When we arrived at the airport we were greeted and then taken directly to a car and driver. The driver was polite and...
Norman and Barnes were amazing. Drove us to Dolphin Cove and made the trip educational and fun. Only book with them.
They picked us up when we cam out of the airport. Our drive while driving the 1hour 45 mins to Ocho Rios games us some interesting fact as our ride progressed. This made a long ride seem short. On the return they were 15 min early at sandals. Would book them again when needed
We booked here for our airport transfer to our hotel. Kevin met us at the airport and provided a running commentary about Jamaica, it's land and people. I've had other transfers and Kevin was indeed the most knowledgeable. He also allowed us time to be quiet and enjoy the countryside. Sad to leave our hotel, we were thrilled when Kevin...
We used them for travel to and from the airport and found them to be friendly, fast, knowledgeable and I wouldnt hesitate to use them again for transportation or one of their tours.
We had an airport transfer for our hotel with this company. They were great. Right on time, and they had some water for my son and some Red Stripe for my husband and myself ready for our arrival. Would definitely recommend!
Peter was awesome. He was waiting for us when we got off the ship in Falmouth. The drive to Dr. Caves beach was about 30-40 minutes. Time flew as Peter gave the history of the island and every thing else we passed. He was very knowledgeable and the information even kept the attention of my teenagers!!
He was right on...
A friend and I came down to Montego Bay for a wedding. We used Reggae Tours for both transport from the airport to the Grand Palladium resort but also on a day excursion to Negril. We had a different driver each time but all were professional and courteous. All the drivers were knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions...
We used Reggae Tours for airport transfers to and from Iberostar Grand Rose Hall. Our driver was waiting when we finished at customs (in a spotless, air-conditioned car - complete with ice cold Red Stripes), and he arrived an hour early for our return trip to the airport. Terrific, friendly service!

Hello! I am traveling to this resort in February 2015. Could anyone tell me what company you used for transfers from the airport to the resort and then back to the aiport? And estimated costs? Thank you!
Hello, Is club Mobay suggested or recommended? Is it needed for arrival and departure?
Thanks Tanya
my husband and I are coming in august on the carnival dream for a day - do you provide trips where we can join with other's from possibly the same ship or another ship in port on the same day?
HI. I would like to get more information on your excursions. I saw a list that goes to Dunn's falls and some go to YS Falls. I heard that Dunn's Falls in more touristy. I am traveling with a group of 7. We would be most interested in the trip to YS that includes the hiking the falls, zip lining and the stop at Pelican Grill. Is it possible to do this trip in a half day rather than a full? any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

What I've never understood is why the fans of a more serious Batman (which I admittedly, am one), don't see this show for what it is: a spoof. Everything under the sun has been spoofed at one time or another, and this show was simply Batman's turn.
I think of it like this: Batman 1966 is to "serious" Batman, what Spaceballs was to Star Wars.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Lift
Finally Getting a Lift After Many Years of Waiting. - Reno, NV
Show More I love my doctor tons! He specializes in breast surgeries, and it is evident by the work he does. He took the time to make me feel safe and comfortable, and made sure to answer any question I may have had. The day after surgery both he and the hospital called to check in with me and make sure I was feeling ok, and to see if there is anything they could do for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Murphy and his great team! I will be returning to him for all my future surgeries.

37, 5' 9-10" 150 Lbs, 1 Breast Fed Child and Weight Loss - IT'S TIME!!! Reno, NV
Show More I received so many referrals for BA and other procedures. His office and staff are welcoming, calm and professional. My consult was fairly short since I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, however I have no doubt that had I been less educated on the procedure and unclear what I wanted he would have spent much more time with me. Since the consult I have done more research on profile and saline vs gel, so I have a few more questions. I have no doubt I will be at ease when surgery day comes.

Turning 30, 1 Kiddo, Have Been Wanting Implants Since He Was Born - Reno, NV
Show More Absolutely, hands down the best. First, the surgery part was a breeze & his team is amazing. I was out before I hit the OR (or at least I don't remember what happened after his gas man gave me the happy juice). I was one of the random people that got a hematoma so he got me in the night it was determined what was going on to get it out/put in the drain even though he doesn't normally do surgeries on that day. Once again, surgery was a breeze & his team was amazing. He has stayed in touch the entire time. BA pain level has been between a 1 or 2. I am only 1 week out but I've been incredibly high maintenance & he & his team have been nothing but kind, patient & extremely professional. Call him before you consider anyone else. I cannot recommend him enough.
