Chemical Characterizations
Prior to the comprehensive approach to enhancing the Agencys chemical management program announced by Administrator Jackson on September 29, 2009, EPA had used the Chemical Assessment and Management Program (ChAMP) to develop screening-level hazard, exposure, and risk characterizations for chemicals produced or imported in quantities of 25,000 pounds or greater a year to identify possible priorities for future Agency action. Although ChAMP has been superseded by the enhanced chemical management program, information developed under ChAMP is being used in the enhanced program. The description of the overall characterization process and the information EPA developed on specific chemicals remain useful resources and can be accessed through this page and through the High Production Volume Information System (HPVIS).
This page contains links to information that was developed under the Chemical Assessment and Management Program (ChAMP), and that has now been archived. Archived information remains on the site as a useful reference, but is no longer actively updated by the Agency and is indicated by this symbol

Long-Awaited DC Metro Audit Will Be Released By GAO Thursday
(David Schultz, WAMU -- Washington, D.C.) A long-anticipated federal audit of Metro will be released to the public Thursday, according to a spokesman at the Government Accountability Office.
We've reported on Transportation Nation in the past about several Metro governance criticisms and scandals. The GAO says it expects to complete the audit of Metro and its governance structure by Thursday and may release it to the public then, or it may allow Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski to review the report or 30 days before making it public.
Mikulski requested the audit nearly two years ago after the deadly Red Line train crash.
Since then, the GAO has been looking into the way Metro makes decisions and governs itself. Many prominent local leaders, especially Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, have been calling for sweeping changes in Metro's governance, and this report could provide them with the momentum needed to enact those changes.
To listen to the radio version of this story, go to WAMU.

A few months ago, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores asked Made + Remade to host a Blogger Challenge in which five bloggers — three regular M+R contributors and two more popular crafting bloggers — could pitch their design ideas for the mantel at HGTV Holiday House. We shared the inspiration board for Holiday House with each of the bloggers, and they created mantel decorations using products from their local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store, among other items.
We were so excited to see the results of this Blogger Challenge. And it was really hard keeping them a secret — until now, because we're thrilled to (finally!) share the five bloggers' Christmas mantel designs with you.

Assassination Vacationby Sarah Vowell
Staff Pick
Leave it to Sarah Vowell to roam across America in search of the motivations and culture of political murder. Obsessive, edifying, and, of course, witty, Assassination Vacation is unlike any other historical tourism or travel writing book you'll ever read.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. With Assassination Vacation, she takes us on a road trip like no other — a journey to the pit stops of American political murder and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advantage.
From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. The resulting narrative is much more than an entertaining and informative travelogue — it is the disturbing and fascinating story of how American death has been manipulated by popular culture, including literature, architecture, sculpture, and — the author's favorite — historical tourism. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored and we make detours to see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are all kinds of lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult.
"What do you get when a woman who's obsessed with death and U.S. history goes on vacation? This wacky, weirdly enthralling exploration of the first three presidential assassinations. Vowell (The Partly Cloudy Patriot), a contributor to NPR's This American Life and the voice of teenage superhero Violet Parr in The Incredibles, takes readers on a pilgrimage of sorts to the sites and monuments that pay homage to Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, visiting everything from grave sites and simple plaques (like the one in Buffalo that marks the place where McKinley was shot) to places like the National Museum of Health and Medicine, where fragments of Lincoln's skull are on display. An expert tour guide, Vowell brings into sharp focus not only the figures involved in the assassinations, but the social and political circumstances that led to each — and she does so in the witty, sometimes irreverent manner that her fans have come to expect. Thus, readers learn not only about how Garfield found himself caught between the Stalwarts and the Half-Breeds, bitterly divided factions of the Republican party, but how his assassin, Charles Guiteau, a supporter of the Stalwarts and an occasional member of the Oneida Community, "was the one guy in a free love commune who could not get laid." Vowell also draws frequent connections between past events and the present, noting similarities between McKinley's preemptive war against Cuba and the Philippines and the current war in Iraq. This is history at its most morbid and most fascinating and, fortunately, one needn't share Vowell's interest in the macabre to thoroughly enjoy this unusual tour." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Any writer who can put James A. Garfield and Lou Reed in the same sentence leaves me in slack-jawed awe. But a lot of Assassination Vacation is like that. History is so often thought of as the province of the ponderously academic that it's a treat when an amateur — in the oldest and best sense of the word: a person who engages in something for the love of it — reminds us that it's an essential part of who we are." Charles Matthews, San Jose Mercury News
"Vowell could make a trip to the DMV interesting....Part travelogue, part history text and part memoir, Assassination Vacation is more fun than it has any right to be — a bizarre road trip into some of the most searing moments of the nation's past with one of our most amusing storytellers at the wheel." Stephen Kiehl, Baltimore Sun
"Cutting through cant with a satirical scalpel, [Vowell] is the history teacher we all wanted in school: whip-smart, hilariously self-deprecating and gifted with the power to make the invisible appear vividly before our eyes." Ariel Gonzalez, Miami Herald
"Museums and tourist spots often seem like dead, airless places, as flat and static as postcards, but Vowell makes you realize that they, and history itself, is a lot more dynamic than that." Greg Beato, San Francisco Chronicle
"A learned, engagingly discursive, funny, sometimes even jolly ramble....Vowell makes an excellent traveling companion, what with her rare combination of erudition and cheek." Bruce Handy, The New York Times Book Review
"The book is a hoot — entertaining, bemused, even educational....You will annoy your spouse by wanting to read the best parts out loud....The thoughtful and thought-provoking musings of a genuine patriot ? one who loves her country even if its policies disappoint her." Adam Woog, Seattle Times
Cambridge don Helen Moralesand#151;recently transplanted to a new job in Californiaand#151;has written a rousing travel book centering on the life and legacy of Tennessee native Dolly Parton.and#160;and#160; Apart from being a distinguished philologist, Morales is an avid country-music fan.and#160; For years she has especially admired the great country singer, songwriter, actress, and all-round smart cookie Dolly Parton. The Dolly Parton trail she traces is set entirely in Tennessee.and#160; It takes in key sites of Dollyand#8217;s life, from the Grand Ole Opry, where Dolly became a star, to Sevierville, her birthplace, to various homes occupied by Dolly and her gigantic family, to schools she attended. Helen also visits the institutions that have helped immortalize the singer, including the Country Music Hall of Fame, where relics of Dollyand#8217;s life are displayed as those of a saint.and#160; If this is starting to sound like a sacred pilgrimage, well, in a sense it is.and#160; It culminates at the town of Pigeon Forge, where the Dolly Parton Annual Parade is held, featuring the star herself as Grand Marshall, enthroned on a float.and#160; Helen was accompanied on her trip by her husband and their pre-pubescent daughter, Athena, who operates as aand#160; matter-of-fact foil to the authorand#8217;s own romantic and sometimes misguided English notions about American popular culture.and#160; Itand#8217;s good chemistry and makes for a hilarious read.
A star par excellence, Dolly Parton is one of country musicand#8217;s most likable personalities. Even a hard-rocking punk or orchestral aesthete canand#8217;t help cracking a smile or singing along with songs like and#147;Joleneand#8221; and and#147;9 to 5.and#8221; More than a mere singer or actress, Parton is a true cultural phenomenon, immediately recognizable and beloved for her talent, tinkling laugh, and steel magnolia spirit. She is also the only female star to have her own themed amusement park: Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Every year thousands of fans flock to Dollywood to celebrate the icon, and Helen Morales is one of those fans.
In Pilgrimage to Dollywood, Morales sets out to discover Partonand#8217;s Tennessee. Her travels begin at the top celebrity pilgrimage site of Elvis Presleyand#8217;s Graceland, then take her to Loretta Lynnand#8217;s ranch in Hurricane Mills; the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville; to Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; and finally to Pigeon Forge, home of the and#147;Dolly Homecoming Parade,and#8221; featuring the star herself as grand marshall. Moralesand#8217;s adventure allows her to compare the imaginary Tennessee of Partonand#8217;s lyrics with the real Tennessee where the singer grew up, looking at essential connections between country music, the land, and a way of life. Itand#8217;s also a personal pilgrimage for Morales. Accompanied by her partner, Tony, and their nine-year-old daughter, Athena (who respectively prefer Mozart and Miley Cyrus), Morales, a recent transplant from England, seeks to understand America and American values through the celebrity sites and attractions of Tennessee.
This celebration of Dolly and Americana is for anyone with an old country soul who relies on music to help understand the world, and it is guaranteed to make a Dolly Parton fan of anyone who has not yet fallen for her music or charisma.

"Most of all, I loved living in a foreign country! I was able to walk to get my groceries, to class, and to parks. I lived with roommates from the U.S., Spain, and France. It was great to be able to experience a different culture and lifestyle! I also loved having a whole month to travel around Europe! I was able to go to the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Scotland! It was an experience that I will never forget!"
Picturing Change, street photography in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau
"The most memorable feeling was probably how foreign I felt; not only was I a white female in a predominantly Asian culture, but I was a white female with a big camera taking pictures of a predominantly Asian culture. Being a photographer while attempting to be a traveler really changed the playing field for me, and it made me realize how essential it is to immerse yourself in many cultures, rather than look at everything like a fish bowl."
Jews and Judaism, Netherlands/Germany/Czech Republic/Poland
"The most memorable moment for me was connecting experience with place, there is so much art that has been created in response to the events of WWII, it was rewarding to be in the place where these events took place and to see the way a community can rebuild and how they are still rebuilding after such events."

So, what's the big deal?
By Stephen J. Dubner
This "Football Freakonomics" question is a tricky one. Which incentive is stronger for an NFL player: Landing a big contract or winning the Super Bowl?
It can be devilishly hard to find out what truly motivates people to do what they do. There are a lot of reasons for this. Different people have different preferences -- an incentive that works for a while might wear off over time -- and it's dangerous to rely on what people say about their motivation, since most of us are concerned about saying "the right thing."
It's better, therefore, to measure actual behavior -- in this case, for instance, how players perform before and after signing a big contract.
That's what Brian Burke of Advanced NFL Stats did for us, analyzing all multi-million-dollar contracts for NFL running backs since the 2000 season, a sample of 28 contracts. He found that in the year after signing their big deals, these running backs averaged 0.3 yards less per carry. That's a pretty startling drop. It could be interpreted in at least two ways:
» Once he got his money locked up, the running back had a weaker incentive to perform well.
» The running back got his new monster contract because he was performing out of his mind -- and was bound, therefore, to fall back to earth a bit. So the team made the same mistake that a lot of stock-market investors make: they bought high.
And let's not forget that the running back is now a year older, and running backs tend not to age gracefully.
Burke also looked at the performance of running backs, quarterbacks, and wide receivers on Super Bowl-winning teams. Once again, he saw a drop-off from the Super Bowl season to the following season: 0.41 yards per attempt for quarterbacks; 0.43 yards per target for receivers; and more than half a yard per carry for running backs.
Again, you could interpret this data to mean at least two things:
» Winning the ring was the main incentive, and once that was accomplished the player's motivation fell.
» It's hardly surprising to see such a steep fall because these players obviously had an aberrationally good season in order to win the Super Bowl in the first place.
Truth be told, asking whether money or winning is a bigger motivation is almost a trick question, like asking whether pizza or hamburgers are the better food. They're both great. Getting paid and getting a ring are both profoundly strong incentives.
It will, however, be interesting to watch how players are incentivized by big money now that big money is getting harder to come by. As the "Tilting the Wage Scale" section in the accompanying graphic makes clear, guaranteed contracts are shrinking mightily. The top three picks in the 2010 draft (Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy) each received an average of $41.7 million in guaranteed money. Then came the lockout, and a new deal between the owners and players. In 2011, the top three picks (Cam Newton, Von Miller and Marcell Dareus) each received an average of just $21.1 million (or should I say "just"?) in guaranteed money.
So we're at the beginning of a new era for cash incentives in the NFL. Which, theoretically, makes winning a Super Bowl even more valuable. Will we therefore witness a sea change in players' motivations?
Probably not. The fact is that we are all constantly responding to private incentives and collective incentives. A football player wants to do well for himself and he wants his team to win. But private and collective incentives don't always align.
Consider the phenomenon of penalty kicks in soccer. Statistically, a kicker is most likely to succeed by kicking the ball down the center of the goal, since the keeper almost always jumps either left or right. So if a kicker truly wants his team to win, he'll be more likely to choose the center. But that rarely happens. Why? Because if a kicker goes right or left and the keeper makes a great save, he can attribute his failure to the keeper's great play. If he goes down the center and fails -- well, he'll be considered a fool for the rest of his days for even thinking about kicking the ball down the middle. So while we might think that he's got the team's incentive at the front of his mind, his private incentive -- to not go down in history as a fool -- is probably just a little bit stronger.

Companies Announce a Collaboration for the Development of AMP-110 - An Innovative Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis and Other Autoimmune Diseases
New York, NY/Rockville, MD (Vocus) August 25, 2009 -- Amplimmune, Inc., a Maryland-based biotechnology company, and Fast Forward, LLC, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's subsidiary devoted to bridging the gap between research and drug development, today announced a collaboration to support the development of Amplimmune's AMP-110 therapeutic candidate. This novel and proprietary biological molecule, or biologic, is specifically designed to target and prevent the abnormal immune responses associated with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.
The agreement with Amplimmune is the third in a series of growing partnerships between Fast Forward and emerging biotechnology companies. "We are pleased to partner with Amplimmune to advance the development of new treatments for MS," said Dr. Timothy Coetzee, President of Fast Forward. "AMP-110 represents an important inventive approach to inhibiting inflammatory responses in multiple sclerosis." Adds Dr. Coetzee, "Modulating the immune system by using costimulatory and coinhibitory biologics is an active area of research and has significant potential in developing new therapies for MS. AMP-110 fits our profile for supporting innovative and promising new treatments for MS."
"Fast Forward's support provides a strong, independent and scientific validation for developing Amplimmune's AMP-110 for treating MS," said Mr. Michael Richman, President and CEO of Amplimmune. "Building on the exciting discovery of

PIC: Robert Pattinson Rocks a Full Beard
Can he sparkle through that scruffle?
Robert Pattinson stepped out in L.A. on Monday with a full beard! The Breaking Dawn star kept his look laid-back in a baseball cap and plain tee. See more pics of Rob's beard.
PHOTOS: The many sexy faces of RPattz
Despite the frenzy surrounding the 25-year-old's luscious locks, Pattinson isn't too tuned in to his tresses. "If you don't care whether your hair's clean or not, then why would you watch it?" he quipped to Extra in 2009. "It's like, I don't clean my apartment 'cause I don't care. I have my apartment for sleeping in and I have my hair for just, you know, hanging out on my head. I don't care if it's clean or not."

ZODB has the concept of "storages", "databases" and "connections". When an application thread wants to get access to persistent data, a connection is made to a database. The database is backed by a storage. There are very few database types and connection types. Maybe one or two of each. But there are many storage types, including a single file (FileStorage), an Oracle database (OracleStorage), a set of BerkeleyDB databases (bsddb3Storage), memory (TemporaryStorage), many disk files (DirectoryStorage), and so on. If ZODB is to be used, it'd probably be a good idea for Chandler developers to start out using FileStorage. It keeps all data in one single file. It's the most widely used and most well-tested out of all the available storages. When it comes time for stress-testing developed software or scaling beyond the limits of a single file, switch to bsddbStorage or one of the other storages. Then again, bsddbStorage has historically had some of the same limitations of FileStorage (one huge "pickle" file, high memory utilization), so it might not even be worth it to use it in favor of FileStorage. Maybe experiment with DirectoryStorage instead. Also, FWIW, there is also an updated bsddb library for Python at http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/. It supports the latest bsddb versions. I'm not certain why it's not shipping with Python itself yet, although I think I've seen some rumblings on the Python-dev list which make me think it will be included with the next major Python version.

Alpha Longboards was started by Kent Lingeveldt, out of a need for longboards in Cape Town. Why -Alpha- ? Because they believe that with the purchase of an Alpha Longboard comes the beginning of a culmination of a lifelong dream for some, and the re-awakening of a dream for others. Each board is handcrafted in the Alpha workshop by Kent who is an avid longboarder. Alpha was started as a custom board shaping company, but has now developed a standard catalogue range that is constantly growing. They maintain that they sell a lifestyle, not a product. Their most recent creations entitled 'Local Legends' is a series of custom stencil artwork by in-house artist Kenan Petersen. First in this beautiful range is the Nelson Mandela board and retails at about $250 each. Personally I just want to hang one on my wall.

The Silver Falls Trail Marathon made me scared. I looked at the elevation chart and was seriously about to poop my pants... I mean - you guys saw it! It turns out that in truth those hills were HUGE but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Run Wild and the State Park want to keep the trails in good condition there are only so many available spots for runners. I was given a bib by a friend who couldn't run the race anymore because she had to go on a business trip out of town (no one tell on me!). I have been wanting to do this race for a while but it is always so hard to get in, so running as Kystyna gave me the perfect chance.
The start wasn't until 8:30 for the full marathoners which was perfect because I didn't have to wake up too early and didn't have to rush to drive down. My friend Laura met me at my place around 6:30 and we left around 6:45 to get there just before 8. Since there are so few runners it wasn't a big deal to show up only 40 minutes from the start, there aren't any corrals or anything - we all just stood in a field and then started running. How I imagine cross country probably is. I actually had no clue which way the start was going to go until people started running... so that was kind of funny.
I had almost no expectations going into this race. I had been having some tendonitis in my right foot (I talked about it in my video) and figured it would become and issue and with the elevation chart I didn't want to expect anything pace-wise so I really just tried to enjoy the scenery, which wasn't hard to do. It was such a beautiful morning. I was a tad bit underdressed, but I guess I would prefer it that way than over dressed. We ran on single track trails, through a TON of huge mud puddles, and even had to do a river and a creek crossing which was a lot of fun. Joe and Kara would have been proud of me.
My favorite part of the race trail and scenery wise was between the 14.2 station and the 19.1 station (which another runner told me was really more like mile 20). The trees were tall, the path was covered in pine needles and fog was filtering through the pine branches and tree trunks. I was also blessed with time to run on my own here and have no other runners around. Though I liked being with others - there is truly something about being on your own in nature. I tried to start to take the pace pretty easy since my foot was hurting, but then I realized I could run slow on it, or faster on it and the end result would probably be the same, so I just picked up the pace.
There were many times that I considered dropping out of the race because of my tendonitis... afraid that maybe I had hurt myself worse than just some inflamed tendons... but when I got to the 19.1 aid station, I just kept going. A friend from Team in Training passed away last week and in the very early miles of the race (1 or 2) I decided to dedicate my fight through the mud and elevation to her, so there was no way that I was stopping. There was only one more aid station before the finish.
|I'm not sure where this picture was taken during the race but I don't look muddy enough for it to be near the end.
At about 22 miles there is a large stair case that you have to go up, then you get to go behind another waterfall, then there is a steep uphill with switchbacks. I had already chosen to walk all of these things which gave me time to admire the waterfalls, I mean how could you not? I was surprised to see the 23.5 aid station at the top of the steep incline and knew that I was super, duper close and decided no matter what my foot felt I was just going to Keep Moving Forward (I told myself that one million times during this race, best mantra ever) and get to that finish. There was one more hill that I had planned to walk up because I heard that it was hilly and muddy (trying to run in a lot of the mud up those hills would have caused you to slide backward = worthless effort, so walking was way better) but once the ground became more stable I started running up it and left two guys in the mud.
This was the longest that I have ever been on my feet running! I definitely could tell the difference in the amount of fuel that I could take in. I had two Island Boosts and almost two full sleeves of clif shot blocks. There were even times when I felt hungry. I did really appreciate my Montrails though, I'm glad that I had a trail shoe that was light and didn't take on too much water and mud, not to mention have pretty good traction. Also - I'm positive that running in my ProCompression helped my calves on all of the inclines!
I was so amazed that I finished this marathon. Under my time goal of 5 hours also! I know that if it wasn't for my tendonitis I would have been able to finish at least 10 minutes faster - if not more. My quads were never fatigued and I could have pushed the pace on the flats and definitely could have used the downhills to my advantage. But I have no regrets, I did the best that I could with my conditions for that day, I finished and I fought for Lisa the whole way.
Soon it was time to drive back home to see Austin and put my foot on ice (again, and again) and tell him the whole story. This was one of my favorite marathon experiences and I am definitely going to go back next year, healthy, and crush my time from this year. I'm planning on taking the week of from running to heal my foot/ankle, then get back into it so that I can reach my goal of running 2,013 miles this year. Less than 300 miles to go!
Have you ever pushed through physical pain/injury in something before?
Ever stepped in a mud puddle that went up to your mid shin?
How are your goals for the year going?

US-Backed Al Qaida War in Syria Has Now Spilled into Lebanon

TRIPOLI, Lebanon — A small but increasingly vocal number of Lebanon's Sunni Muslims are backing Islamist leaders' calls for regime change in neighboring Syria and voicing their fierce discontent with their own government, a sign that the sectarianism splitting Syria may be deepening Lebanon's longstanding divides.
Rallying in the central square of this northern city, hundreds of men, many of them followers of the Salafi branch of Sunni Islam, have spent more than two weeks protesting the detention without charge of dozens of Sunnis in Lebanon and calling for the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
Inspired, they say, by the largely Sunni uprising in Syria, the group has refused to leave the square, even after clashes with security forces last week ignited days of fighting between Sunnis and minority Alawites in Tripoli. Sectarian tension has worsened during 14 months of Syrian unrest as Syrian refugees and wounded fighters have flooded into the city.
"What happened in Syria — and in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen — let us smell the beautiful smell of freedom," Omar Bakri Mohammed, a prominent Salafi leader, said Tuesday, surrounded by supporters in al-Nour Square. Criticizing the Lebanese government for closeness to Assad, he said that the sit-in would encourage authorities to "take us seriously for once in their lives," darkly hinting that the protesters may in the future want to remove the Lebanese government entirely.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers in June plans to launch a certification program for building commissioning. Called the Commissioning Process Management Professional, the program is intended to help building owners, developers, operators and others determine whether building systems and equipment are designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained properly. The program is being developed with input from a host of other interested buildings groups and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Details, including eligibility requirements and fees, are available at www.ashrae.org/certification.

Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery (SIEA) Flap
In superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap breast reconstruction, Mass General plastic surgeons use skin and fat from the lower abdomen to create a new breast after mastectomy.
Learn more
Mass General offers many options for breast reconstruction, including:
SIEA Flap Breast ReconstructionIf you have a mastectomy to treat or prevent cancer, breast reconstruction can surgically recreate a natural-looking breast. One option for breast reconstruction is a superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap procedure.
In a SIEA flap, the surgeon first excises skin and fat from the lower abdomen. This process does not require removing any of the rectus abdominus muscle, which houses the artery and vein that serve as the primary blood supply to skin and fat of the lower abdomen.
The excised abdominal tissue, or "flap," is then transferred to the mastectomy area. There, blood flow is restored by reconnecting the artery and vein to a set of vessels in the chest wall. The surgeon then shapes the flap to form a new breast.
Unlike the DIEP flap, the SIEA flap does not require making an incision in the abdominal muscle (incisions are made only in the skin and fat). SIEA flaps thus generally involve less postoperative pain than DIEP flaps—and no increased risk for hernia formation.
Please note: A SIEA flap leaves a scar that extends along the lower abdomen, from one hip to the other. As a result, the recovery period may be longer than with breast construction with implants or tissue expanders.
Why Choose Mass General for Your Procedure
- Harvard affiliated
- 500+ breast reconstruction procedures per year
- Coordinated care with your entire cancer team
- Highly experienced in the latest procedures
Are You a Candidate for SIEA Flap Breast Reconstruction?You may be a good candidate for SIEA flap reconstruction if you:
- Prefer to reconstruct one or both breasts using your own tissue
- Have sufficient tissues in your lower abdomen to create one or both breasts
- Have never had surgery on your abdomen
- Are not a candidate for implant reconstruction
- Have had radiation administered to your chest wall
- Have had failed reconstruction using a breast implant
You may not be a good candidate for SIEA flap reconstruction if you:
- Have had a Cesarean section or hysterectomy (because these procedures may eliminate vessels that must be present for the SIEA flap to be successful)
- Lack sufficient lower abdominal tissue to create acceptable breast volume
- Have had abdominal surgery (e.g. an abdominoplasty)
- Smoke (or quit smoking only recently)
- Have diabetes
- Are obese
- Have an overly large abdominal pannus (hanging flap of tissue)
- Cannot tolerate anesthesia for long periods of time
Other Flap OptionsDepending on your particular situation, other flap options to create the new breast may include:
- Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap: Uses tissue from the lower abdomen
- Latissimus dorsi flap: Uses tissue from the upper back
- Superior or inferior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP/IGAP) flap: Uses tissue from the buttocks
- Transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous (TRAM) flap: Uses tissue from the lower abdomen
- Transverse upper gracilis (TUG) flap: Uses tissue from the inner thigh and underlying gracilis muscle
The TUG flap and SGAP/IGAP flaps are generally used with patients who lack enough abdominal tissue for the DIEP or SIEA flap.Breast Reconstruction at Mass GeneralOur plastic surgeons have extensive experience in all types of breast reconstructive techniques, including the newest and most innovative procedures. When appropriate, we combine techniques, using flaps, implants and nipple tattooing to achieve the most natural-looking outcome.
All forms of breast reconstruction after mastectomy have inherent risks, which will be fully discussed during your consultation.

Kim Lopez Claims Prize from Friday's Mega Millions® Drawing
DES MOINES, Iowa - A Cedar County woman decided to have her Mega Millions® ticket validated while she was at a local retailer and discovered she'd won a $40,000 prize.
Kim Lopez, 45, said it was sort of a fluke that she even purchased the ticket for Friday's drawing.
"My husband is the one that buys the ticket regularly and he said, 'Do you want me to get you one?'" Lopez said. "So I gave him some money and he got me one with the multiplier."
The next day, New Year's Day, Lopez went back to the Casey's where her husband had purchased the tickets and decided to have hers checked while she was there.
"I handed her my ticket and asked her if she could swipe it and see if I won. And I got that, 'Woo hoo! You're a winner!'" she said. "And her eyes got real big and she said, 'You won forty thousand!'"
Lopez, who is a nurse from Durant, said she was in such disbelief she couldn't even get her phone to work right so she could call her husband. When she finally did get a hold of him, he was just as shocked as she was.
"Well at first he didn't believe me and thought I was teasing him, but when I said it twice he believed me. We're pretty tickled. I was expecting five or ten bucks and wound up with forty thousand," Lopez said.
Lopez said she and her husband recently purchased a lot to build a new house on, so she plans to use some of her winnings to pay for that as well as contribute to her two children's college funds.
"I always play the multiplier. If you win and you didn't play the multiplier it just makes you mad, so I always play it," Lopez said.
Lopez claimed her prize Monday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. She purchased her winning ticket at Casey's, 504 Fifth St. in Durant.
The winning numbers in the $242 million Mega Millions drawing on Friday were: 10-12-13-35-56 and Mega Ball 9. The Megaplier® number that night was 4. Lopez's ticket matched the four white balls and the Mega Ball to win a $10,000 prize. Because she added the Megaplier option to her ticket, Lopez multiplied her $10,000 win by four to claim a $40,000 prize.
There was no winner in Friday's Mega Millions drawing.
Players can multiply their prizes (except the jackpot) with the Megaplier up to four times. The cost is $1 per play.

More than just a collection of vendors, the farmers market brings together area businesses, local farms and community members to mingle over a shared love of fresh produce, hand-crafted goods and conversation.
Every Thursday evening and Saturday morning, local vendors gather at Wiswall Park to sell everything from fresh corn, greens and potatoes to jam, spices, cookies, pies and jewelry.
Co-chair of the farmers market committee, Cyndi Pastore, said, Local agriculture is not just veggies. We have maple syrup, herbs and local artisans too.
Most vendors are from the immediate Ballston area, but some come from farther away places like Scotia and Galway.
The Ballston Spa Business and Professional Association runs the farmers market. Each vendor must be a member of the organization to sell products at the market.
Pastore owns Morningview Farms on Goode Road. She sells certified organic produce that she grows on her farm, as well as fresh eggs. Pastore said she has doubled her sales over past year.
The Ballston Spa farmer's market is a small, quaint group of vendors, Pastore said, usually no more than 20.
"This is not like in Saratoga. We are much smaller, but we're good with that," she said.
For small local businesses, going to the farmers market is the best form of advertising.
Richard and Helen Stutzenstein have been setting up shop at the farmers market for three years. They sell maple syrup and honey from their farm in Greenfield Center.
The Stutzensteins said getting involved in the farmers market has been great exposure for them.
"This has been a good avenue for our product. We have gotten our name out there and have generated a lot of clientele," Helen Stutzenstein said.
Barbara Develin sells hand-blended spice packets for $3.95 at the market. She uses no salts or preservatives. Develin's spice packets come with recommended recipes and some of her concoctions are there for tasting.

Carnegie, Art Association updates art display
Newnan Carnegie Library and Newnan-Coweta Art Association partnered to present a variety of art for the grand opening of the building, and the art association has continued the display with rotating exhibits.
There is an art gallery on the second level, and the display has been freshened for the spring. "Our program and meeting room attendees really enjoy strolling through the art gallery. The Newnan-Coweta Art Association has once again provided us with a wonderful variety of paintings," said Amy Mapel, Carnegie director. The NCAA artists being displayed for spring 2014 are: Ellen Guilloury, Martin Pate, Sheri Anderson, Helen Hayes, Cecil Cornwell, Rusty Sharp, Suzanne Caldwell, Sandra Carter, Sandy Holcomb, Mary Ann Madsen, Barbara Kelly, Karen DeFelix, Ellie Farrington, Marc Stewart , Ken Hamilton, RL Hughey & Debbie McNeil, Faye Holzaepfel, Matthew Swab and Rebecca Wayne. NCAA meets the third Thursday each month, September through May, at the Harriet Alexander Art Center on Hospital Road at 7 p.m. An art demonstration is presented each month. Visitors and new members are welcome.
Restored by the City of Newnan, the Carnegie has brought back library type services in the downtown area. The bottom floor of the building serves as a reading room and the second floor as a meeting space.
Among its many offerings, the Carnegie brings popular magazines and newspapers, computer workstations and Wi-Fi access, a gallery for local exhibits, meeting rooms with warming kitchen and programs for adults and children. The Carnegie serves the public with a non-circulating reading room, children's area, and an art gallery. It seeks to be an integral part of the community by offering print and electronic materials.

THS member and Thomas R. DuBuque Research Fellowship recipient Amy Davis sends the this news about the Parkway Theatre in Baltimore.
For additional news, go to the Baltimore sun article here http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-12-20/business/bs-re-city-chooses-maryland-film-festival-proposal-for-parkway-theatre-20121220_1_parkway-theatre-bdc-baltimore-development-corp
Wonderful News! Maryland Film Festival, in partnership with 2 local colleges, has been chosen to revive the Parkway, which has been closed for over 30 years. I hope that Ziger/Snead – a topnotch Baltimore architectural firm – will save as much as possible of the magnificent interior while creatively reinterpreting the space for its new multi-use life. The 1915 Parkway was designed by architect Oliver Birkhead Wight. It originally seated 1,100. According to theater historian Robert K. Headley, it was modeled after the Strand Theater in N.Y. and the Rialto (originally West End) Theater in London. My photo book, "Flickering Treasures:Rediscovering Baltimore's Forgotten Movie Theaters," will be published before this project is complete, but I'm excited about including as much as possible of the Parkway's latest chapter. www.facebook.com/flickeringtreasures

Welcome ToMAKEUP.COM

Happy New Year from all of us at MDC! We hope you rang in the New Year with a bang – and if you didn't, we won't judge you one bit for flaunting that sparkly liner anyway. As you dust off the remnants of last night's glitter, we thought we'd give you a preview of the five biggest beauty trends we're looking forward in 2014 (patience has never been one of our strong suits). Ready? Let's start with…
1) Lined in White
It's not often that a runway trend works in everyone's favor, but this is definitely one of them. White eyeliner was seen everywhere from Kenzo to Tibi, and the graphic lines were bold, fresh and so perfect for spring. If you're a newbie, try lining your bottom waterline with white liner to ease into this look – it'll make your eyes look brighter and wider.
Product picks: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Cuff; Lancôme Le Caryon Khôl in Chalk White
2. Moon Shine
Half-moon manicures are the new French – and we're totally okay with it. Feel free to stray from the traditional nude and white color combo and experiment with metallics, pastels and even textures. We're so enraptured by this look, we may just be planning a tutorial in the next few weeks.
3. Dream On
This spring, we're predicting that eyelids everywhere will be swathed in the softest, prettiest garden hues. Sheer eyeshadow shades like lilac, baby blue and sage green were seen all over runways like Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs, and we're swooning with the dreaminess of it all. Stay away from harsh lines and diffuse with a blending brush for a sheer, subtle wash of color.
Product picks: Yves Saint Laurent Pure Chromatics in No 13; NARS Trio Eyeshadow in Cap Ferrat
4. Bare-Faced Beauty
The prettiest phrase in our beauty vocab? Au naturel. As much as we obsess over bright colors here at MDC headquarters, we're staunch believers in rocking the "no makeup" makeup look too – and the designers agreed. Heavy makeup was swapped for dewy luminizers, rose-hued lip balms and soft, smoky shadows at Alexander Wang and Chloé – tres chic!
Product picks: Yves Saint Lauren Touch Éclat; Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream; Benefit Watt's Up!
5. Get Lippy
Orange, red, purple, pink…in 2014, bolder is better when it comes to your pout. Don't be scared to go out of your comfort zone – why not try a punchy ombré lip or pretty tangerine shade? Start with a balm if this is new territory for you, and venture out from there with silky lipsticks or matte pencils. We'll be sharing our favorite orange lip colors later this month, so stay tuned...
Product picks: Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock; Giorgio Armani Rouge D'Armani Lipstick in 600; NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Never Say Never
Which of these trends are you excited to start wearing in 2014? Any that we missed? Tell us in the comments!

How is Oasis Backpackers' Mansion Lisboa rated on other websites?
Oasis Backpackers' Mansion Lisboa Reviews from the Web
Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
One of the best hostels, the whole package! Everything from location, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, was amazing! One can walk anywhere, the pub crawls are awesome, and even just the beautiful patio where its so easy to meet people! Most of all, Taylor's walking tours give you an inside on the city's amazing history with his funky spin on it, cannot miss his walk a must do! — Lu, Canada (2013-09-08)
Best Hostel in the world! The Oasis is an excellent hostel. The two buildings are very charming and all the rooms are always kept very clean. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Although it's a hostel you get the feeling that you're at home. I've never stayed in a better hostel. Just great! — Judith, Switzerland (2008-10-06)
The Best I have stayed in many hostels and this is one of the best. The location is not bad. Very hilly streets. There is a smallish park overlooking the harbour. You can sit there and watch the locals while having a beer. That was so relaxing just sitting in this park. The staff were so helpful in every request. Great suppers and only 5 euros and cooked by a Portuguese lady. I would stay there anytime. — Stew, Canada (2008-02-18)
I've just arrived home from three nights at The Oasis in Lisbon and I have to say that it is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The hostel is decorated in a very stylish, contemporary and modern way, giving it the feel of a boutique hotel! Having only opened in 2006 all the walls still have a freshly painted feel about them and the dorms are really comfortable with thick mattresses and substantial wooden bunk bases, none of that squeaky metal crap! There is a bathroom on each floor, and they are quality with a choice of power type shower, or one of those huge shower heads, which feels like you are being rained on! The staff are truly amongst the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met working at a hostel. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were always on hand to answer any questions. The clincher, or feather in the cap of this place though is the food and drink! They run a happy hour from 8 to 9 p.m., serving cocktails at 2 euros a go, while the food, cooked and served by an authentic Portugese Mama, is absolutely blinding! You will usually have a main meal and pudding for only 5 euro each! A very decent place indeed -- I'll be back this September, that is for sure! — Ollie Taylor, English (2007-05-16)
Of all the hostels I have stayed in (over forty) this is right up there with the best. The big common room (with very comfortable seating and free internet access), dining area and kitchen make socialising easy, which is always good when traveling solo and nice big, clean bathrooms which come as a relief after weeks spent in hostels with varying standards. There were free Portuguese classes and nice, home-cooked meals and beer served up at reasonable prices every evening which again made everyone get to know each other well and it really did feel like a home away from home. The only small downside is that it's a little tricky to find but it is within a few minutes walk of the main nightlife in the city (Barrio Alto) and Lisbon is small enough to ensure that it isn't an issue. Stay here if you can. — Charlie (2007-02-05)

2015 Partners
Few properties around the world deliver an opportunity on this scale to tap into a city-invading celebration that engaged food-loving consumers obsess over, plan for and turnout to attend in their hundreds of thousands.
The Festival presents a world-class suite of events and marketing programs that deliver a unique and powerful platform for brands to engage with and leverage from.
Without the support and passion of our partners, the Festival wouldn't be the internationally acclaimed celebration of food and wine that it is today.
If you are interested in partnership opportunities, please contactp Natalie Zaibak, Partnership Manager on 03 9823 6108 or email@example.com who will discuss the various options.

The Santa Rosa City Council on Tuesday decided to hold a special meeting to discuss the performance of its city attorney.
On a 4-2 vote, the council agreed to schedule a closed-door meeting to air disagreements that have flared between some council members and City Attorney Caroline Fowler.
The decision was clearly an uncomfortable one for the council and Fowler. Councilwoman Erin Carlstrom said it was awkward to be publicly discussing Fowler as she sat across from them. But Carlstrom said she nevertheless supported having the discussion as a way for some members of the council to work through their issues with Fowler.
"This is a long-standing conflict between a substantial portion of our council, and I think it's in everyone's best interests to have the opportunity to have a productive conversation," Carlstrom said.
She said she believed a facilitator and possibly even an outside legal expert should be called in to help moderate whatever the council does during its discussion. She said the meeting was in part about "re-establishing the rapport and the relationship between our city attorney and council members who are going to be here for quite some time."
Councilwoman Julie Combs requested a closed-door conversation be scheduled after she solicited a second opinion about some of Fowler's legal advice from the state Office of Legislative Counsel. That opinion contradicted the advice Fowler gave to Councilman Gary Wysocky during a tense council meeting last October that he would be committing a crime by publicly discussing details of labor negotiations.
Fowler's last performance review was just completed in the spring, but Combs said the council didn't have the Office of Legislative Counsel's opinion at that time.
Vice Mayor Robin Swinth stressed that she supported holding a closed session only if it was clear that it was not another performance evaluation of Fowler.
Mayor Scott Bartley and Councilman Ernesto Olivares voted against the measure. Combs, Swinth, Carlstrom and Wysocky voted in favor.
"I'm still not sure I really understand what's going on here," Bartley said at one point.

Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence to Spark Innovation
By Connor Child
A new center at Utah State University that will offer an array of services to help aspiring entrepreneurs both on and off campus is expected to open later this month at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business.
Mike Glauser, executive director of Entrepreneurial Programs at the Huntsman School, worked with Jim Davis, head of the Management Department, to create the center. He said he is eager to see students and others utilize the center to create thriving businesses.
"More people than ever before are trying to start and operate their own business," Mike said. "Unfortunately, the failure rate is quite high. Our new Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence will help aspiring entrepreneurs increase their chances for success."
The center will give students the opportunity to participate in competitions and learn basic principles of running a business. Budding entrepreneurs may also come to the center to get constructive feedback on ideas and build their network.
Mike, who is the founder of numerous successful startups such as Golden Swirl Management Company and Northern Lights, said the Huntsman School offers a host of resources that can help entrepreneurs. All of those resources will be concentrated and easily accessible at the Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence.
"One of the best ways to learn about creating a new business is to hear from those who have done it before," Mike said. "We have many faculty members at the Huntsman School who have a wealth of entrepreneurial experience. We look forward to helping local entrepreneurs succeed as they take advantage of the Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence."

Pets of the week: Jake and Finn
Jake and Finn are playful, fun, active brothers. These boys are inseparable and follow each other around all the time. Whether it's exploring, napping or eating, they love doing everything together. Jake and Finn would prefer to live indoors where they can receive plenty of attention from their new family. Finn can be a little feisty so the boys would do best in a home without children. These neutered brothers have good litter box habits.
The public is invited to come meet the shelter rabbits, learn about proper bunny care and find out if a house rabbit is right for their home. Jake and Finn are at the Ventura County Animal Shelter, 600 Aviation Drive in Camarillo in Kennel 419. Their animal IDs are A576816 and A576815 and their joint adoption fee is $100.
Shelter rabbits are also available for adoption Saturday at Petco in Camarillo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Oct. 20 at Ventura Pet Barn from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Rabbit nail trims for a suggested $5 donation and bunny compatibility dates are available during this time as well.

Connecting todoist Accounts
I am looking into choosing a todo list software for myself and my wife. I like your ToDoist product but I would like to be able to share projects between the two of us. I need to be able to make notes and attach files to a task. I also need to be able to have the ability to share tasks with my wife. For example, I see we need milk so I add it to our shared Grocery List and she is notified that we need milk. When one of us picks it up and checks it off, the other is notified that they picked it up. I know you have WeDoist, but this feature is not worth $24 a month for only two of us. I'd be happy to get premium accounts for myself and my wife at $58 a year vs. $288 a year for WeDoist. What are my options?
All responses
Hello Adam,
Todoist Premium allows you to add task notes and upload files to notes, but unfortunately it doesn't have a sharing option yet (we will consider adding it in the future, though).
Right now, you have the following options as alternatives:
1. Use the "Email tasks to this project" feature which will allow you to send a task to Todoist via email. This way, you can simply send a "Buy milk" task to Todoist.
2. Share your login credentials with your wife and you can both use the same Todoist account.
3. Upgrade your Todoist account to Premium and then create a new Todoist account which could be free and contain only this one shared project and you could share the login credentials of this shared account.
Best regards,
Please let me know when you add sharing. Until then, I'll have to use something else.
Hello Leslie,
If you'll keep your Todoist account, you will receive a notification via email once sharing becomes available. We will also announce it on our Facebook, Google+ and Twitter channel.
Best regards,
Sharing option soon, please!
Yes for sharing options!!
Please add soon. I really enjoy the Todoist interface and speed however it's missing this critical sharing feature. It's tempted me to switch to other platforms however I am patiently waiting for now.
yes, I agree -- there are a number of weaknesses, but not sharing is at the top of the list -- if I find another more suitable platform, I will switch -- sure wish Yahoo hadn't killed Astrid - sigh

Since its ad hoc creation, LeeFest has continued to grow and improve at an almost exponential rate. Mostly this has happened naturally, but for the parts we play as organisers we try our best to stick to a few principles that we believe make the festival what it is.
The reason LeeFest ever happened in the first place was because of the desire to have fun. So the main aim of every year is for everyone involved to have amazing fun throughout the entire process, from the organisers to the audience.
Organic vs. Bigger and Better
We want the festival to grow organically. However, as organisers we don't just sit back and wait. We believe in using our energy and enthusiasm to improve the festival every year, making it bigger and better in every way that we can – but making sure we do it at a rate, and in a way that is right for the event.
Keeping the festival non-profit is a safeguard to protect everything that the festival stands for. Ensuring that any profits are split between charity and being put back into the event means it can never fall prey to the natural greed of man. The audience get an event that is entirely worth the ticket price and everybody coming together to support a good cause creates an amazing atmosphere!
We believe that LeeFest should be about offering opportunities and inspiration as well as an entertaining weekend for the audience. We offer opportunities to unsigned artists to play alongside seasoned professionals. That way the amateurs can learn a thing or to from the professional experience, and we're pretty sure the pro's learn a thing or two from the emerging talent's energy and creativity! Not just for the musicians though, we also offer opportunities for people to get involved in all aspects from tech crew to creative design for the festival and even building the site. It's all about learning from each other and being constructive. Check out all opportunities in our Collaborate section.
Bringing People Together
LeeFest started as a community of 150 young people in a back garden, and it has now grown to 2500 people in a field but we try to keep the same vibes. Although being centered around young people we have now reached out and have an audience of all ages, shapes and sizes. It's one of those events when everybody comes together to celebrate life.
Clean and tidy
Our little piece of countryside amongst suburbia is beautiful, so we make sure we leave it exactly how we found it!

Chanterelle Tacos
Meaty chanterelles take center stage in these quick vegetarian tacos. The serrano chile packs a punch; use a milder pepper, like jalapeno, for less heat.Adapted with permission from "Super Natural Every Day: Well-Loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen" by Heidi Swanson, copyright 2011.

Buckwheat Crepes with Mushroom Filling
The crepes can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic wrap, up to two days; or frozen, wrapped in paper towels (to absorb moisture when thawing) and plastic wrap, and placed in a freezer bag, up to one month. Thaw completely before filling. The mushroom filling can be made two days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. When Martha made these crepes on Cooking School episode 404, she made a half recipe and finished each serving with a fried egg.
Chanterelle and Egg Sandwiches
These open-faced egg-and-mushroom sandwiches taste terrific on their own, but when lobster is in season, it makes a delicious add-in. Spoon 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cooked lobster meat over each serving.

Cooking with cedar planks, a northwest Native American tradition, involves heating the wood to release its aromatic essence, which the food absorbs as it cooks.

Ahi Poke Over Fried Rice PancakesBy · Feb 01 2011 · Comments
While watching TV the other night my husband turned to me and jokingly said, "You know, I am the muse to your cooking." I responded with an aggressive glare. He stumbled, "But, you are the muse to my consulting. " He is a consultant by profession and I am still glowing in the wake of this complement… So while I am reluctant to give him too much credit for my culinary creations, he does indeed play a major role in my dishes and this recipe is one of them. After a sour experience with sushi at age 15, I had sworn off the idea of ever putting raw fish in my mouth again. It was my "muse" that encouraged me to get back in the sushi game and for that I am extremely grateful. This dish is simple, elegant and if I do say so myself, absolutely delicious. You can serve this in smaller portions as an appetizer or first course or as a light main course.
- 2 fresh ahi fillets, sliced along the grain of the fish into ½ inch pieces
- ½ cup Ponzu Sauce, available in the Asian food section at most grocery stores
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups freshly cooked brown rice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup packaged and fried chow mein noodles, available in the Asian food section at most grocery stores
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Combine fish, ponzu sauce and scallions in a shallow dish. Using tongs gently stir and flip the fish so each piece is coated with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Whisk together the sour cream, cream, ginger and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the rice, fold the butter and scallions into the rice while the rice is still warm from cooking. Transfer this mixture to a food processor. Add the ginger, salt, lemon juice and chow mein noodles. Pulse until well incorporated and sticky. About 2 minutes. Remove the rice mixture and roll into silver dollar sized balls. Using a spatula or your palms, press the balls down into a ½ inch thick pancake.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add the rice pancakes and fry for 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes onto a paper towel to dry. Arrange the pancakes on a plate and top with a spoonful of the ahi, followed by a dollop of the sauce. Serve immediately.
