I have pretty bad bumpy and red keloids under my breast folds and am getting implants removed along with the keloids. Do heavy implants have any effects on the keloids? For prevention, I am going to put sheeting onto the new scar, so was wondering which brand is preferred if I want to order silicone sheeting? I will probably order one online.
Which is the Best Brand of Silicone Sheeting for Keloid Scars After Breast Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 7
Silicone Sheeting or Occlusive Tapes for Keloid Scars
Silicone Sheeting or Occlusive Tapes may be used to 'soften' Keloid Scars. Clear, adherent, thin occlusive tapes such as Tegaderm, offer a great alternative, with same efficacy. An advantage of this clear tape is that it does not have to be replaced daily, and it may be left in place for as long as it lasts adhered to the skin (up to one week). Then it may be replaced by a new tape. In order to prevent keloid recurrence after your keloid excision, I too recommend close monitoring by your doctor, with early intervention with kenalog injection, vascular lasers and/or fractional resurfacing lasers.
Silicone Sheeting after Breast Augmentation
Thanks for the note! There is no preferred brand in my practice after Breast Augmentation, since I am not certain that silicone sheeting is effective beyond placebo for scars. If you are going to use the products, I would find the most affordable generic version. Your surgeon's office is probably the best resource. Sometimes we have samples.
Scar removal and scar treatment for breast implant scars
Keloid and thickened scars on the breast after breast surgery can be improved with a combination of pulsed dye laser, IIT, and fractional co2 laser. Breast scar revision is amazing for women who suffer with scars after cosmetic procedures.

Scar Treatment After Breast Augmentation
I tell my patients who have issues with keloid scars to get Cordan Tape. I rarely have patients that have issues with breast scars but once in awhile it can happen; especially on darker skin.
Silicone sheeting will not prevent Keloids
My advice is to consult with your board certified plastic surgeon who did your procedure regarding the scars. If you truly have keloids (unlikely as most people think but do not) silicone sheets will not prevent or correct this condition. You may need injections with Kenalog or topicals steroids which also come in form of a tape (Cordran Tape). In my practice we use Oleeva scar forms, however, other brands maybe used as well.
Silicone sheeting for scars
I like NewGel from NewMedical Technology, simply because it seems to stick better than the others and is therefore more convenient to use.

Drift 1080p Helmet Cam

Blog Entries:
I brought both cameras to Seymour today. For the record, I should point out that the Roam is Contour's cheapest model, while the Drift 1080p is not. The most significant difference that this makes is that the Roam doesn't have a replaceable battery.
I wanted to do the comparison with both cameras on goggle mounts, but I wasn't able to find my Contour goggle mount. So my comparison is done with the Roam mounted on top of my helmet and the Drift on a goggle mount. The drift goggle mount is quite good in that it's curved, quite large, and has a rough inner surface to hopefully hold better against the helmet. Having said that, all goggle mounts suck. The big problem is that with most helmets, when your goggles are on your face the mount is partly or completely sitting on the ear covers, which provides poor support.
Each brand of camera uses a different technique for clipping the camera to the mount. The Drift's system is larger and easier to handle with gloves, and in fact I was able to clip and unclip the camera from the goggle mount without taking off my helmet or gloves. I
be able to eventually do that with the Roam, but it would take two hands and I'd probably have to take off one or both gloves.
On the other hand, the clip on the Drift is kind of delicate. I broke one of my two clip-on units while figuring out the camera.
The Roam turns on and off using a large, easy-to-find switch on the camera. The Drift has a remote control that straps to your wrist (or whatever). The first difference that I ran into was the on/off beep. On the Contour, you can clearly hear the beep when you turn it on or off. Plus of course, you can feel where the switch is. With the Drift, the ON beep was audible through the helmet but the OFF beep was not. I understand the remote on the new Drift Ghost has feedback, probably an LED light to indicate if it's recording. Definitely an option worth having.
The Drift has a 1.5" square screen on the side. There's no equivalent on the Roam. I found that the visual feedback on the Drift could be brighter. At one point I thought my up/down buttons had stopped working. I eventually realized that I just wasn't seeing the focus change from one setting to the next. I'd expect that the 2" screen on the Ghost would be better for this.
Finally -- The actual videos. I found the Drift video image to be brighter, but I notice that the Drift doesn't handle changes in light levels as well. When you move from shadow to sunlight, the image is washed out for a second or two. The Roam handled the change in light level significantly better. However, the Roam video seemed flatter, as if there's less overall difference in brightness. Overall, I'd give a slight edge to the Roam video for watchability. Of course, both videos are shaky, but that's the way they were mounted.
Some other miscellaneous comments, that may or may not make a difference:
The Roam back end is WAY easier to open and close.
The Drift wrist strap could be bigger.
The Drift does not seem to have an anchor point for a safety lanyard.
And one BIG comment:
The ability to review your videos on the lift on the way up is a game changer. Sorry, but the Drift would have to
blow it on some level to lose this comparison, at least as far as I'm concerned.
I'll be posting up the comparison videos shortly. They're uploading to youtube right now.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 34-year-old man is jailed in Las Vegas on kidnapping and fugitive charges after his ex-girlfriend reported that she was held against her will for several months at Mesquite motels.
Jason Greniger was being held Tuesday at the Clark County jail pending court appearances on a felony kidnapping charge and a Minnesota fugitive warrant.
Sheena Herschbach tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she and Greniger have been together since 2009 and have three children.
She says she obtained a protective order against Greniger in 2012 and moved to California, but Greniger followed and persuaded her to take him back.
Herschbach says they moved last summer to Mesquite.
The 26-year-old Herschbach says she never felt like she could escape. She alleges that Greniger threatened her and her family.

November 28, 2015
(AP) -- About a third of the 1,506 children who died in West Virginia between 1999 and 2004 should still be alive today.
A report by the West Virginia child fatality review team shows motor vehicle crashes accounted for 237 of the potentially preventable deaths. About 75 percent of those deaths involved children who were not wearing seat belts or helmets.
Of the 38 children who were victims of homicide, 26 died as a result of abuse. More than 80 percent of those children were under the age of 5.
The report blamed another 188 deaths on sudden infant death syndrome. More than half of those deaths were attributed to such risky behaviors as adults sharing beds with infants or mothers who smoke.

The success of Triton is due to high interest in the new technology allowing fast sample cool down to 10 mK without the need for liquid helium and also the range of applications it is suited for. One key application of Cryogen-free dilution refrigerators is Quantum Information research. Charles Marcus from Harvard University recently purchased another Triton Cryofree dilution refrigerator, demonstrating the suitability of this product to this particular application. He commented: "When we were looking at options for a new cryogen-free dilution refrigerator, we chose the Triton system for his ability to rapidly cycle samples to base temperature, including dc and rf connection capability. We also like the modularity of the sample slug system allowing customization and evolution of our system."
Oxford Instruments is also delighted to be part of the Multi-Qubit Systems Based on Electron Spins in Coupled Quantum Dots project, which is a consortium led by Charles Marcus of Harvard University and funded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity as a part of its Multi-Qubit Coherent Operations program.
Collaborators include Harvard, Oxford Instruments, UC Santa Barbara, University of Maryland, TU-Delft, University of Sydney, University of Tokyo and University of Basel. The consultancy team at Oxford Instruments will be focusing on developing the Ultra Low Temperature instrumentation required for these experiments, including high density high bandwidth wiring schemes.

VLC for iPad going Universal, supporting iPhone, Touch
updated 02:40 am EDT, Thu October 14, 2010
Recent generations only, however
Applidium, who last month brought open-source video player VLC to the iPad, have submitted an update to make the app Universal, allowing recent-generation iPhones and iPod Touches to run the program as well. The app version, which does not play all video formats as its desktop version does, greatly expands the format options for audio and video on Apple's iOS mobile devices.
The free app has been reworked to take full advantage of the A4 chip found in the latest iOS devices, allowing better playback of most video files. The developers caution that hardware acceleration is not enabled for 720p playback, though performance should be improved from the previous version. Audio and video files are transferred to VLC via the "Apps" tab of iTunes.
Extensions are supported, such as those allowing the VLC iOS app to read videos from email and mobile Safari, for example. Applidium says they support the iPhone 3GS and 3rd- and 4th-generation iPod Touches as well, but do not support older models.

Destination guide: Bariloche
Useful information about Bariloche
Bariloche has a lot to offer fast friends such as Patagonian barbecue (on the spit or over coals) and juicy grilled beef. Another option is the salmon or trout that abound in local waters.
To sweeten the palate, there is dulce de leche and "facturitas" (half-moon pastries) with flaky dough and sweet filling. Don't forget about the exquisite handcrafted chocolates and sweets made from fruit or milk.
The official currency of Argentina is the Argentine Peso ($ARS). However, the US dollar (US$) is accepted in most tourist locations. Bills are available in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos; and coins are available in 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents and 1 peso.
All goods and services include a 21% Value Added Tax (VAT). As a foreign tourist, if you purchase a nationally manufactured product worth 70 pesos or more, you have the option of requesting a VAT rebate. For tax-free shopping, the vendor must provide the original Type B receipt and a Global Refund Cheque. Upon leaving the country, these two documents must be presented at Customs in addition to the item that was purchased so they can be stamped and the check can be cashed.
Official language
The official language spoken in Bariloche and throughout Argentina is Spanish.
Time zone
Before leaving on your trip to Argentina, keep in mind that most of the country is located in the GMT -3 time zone. During the summer however, some provinces fall one hour behind the official time.
Electric current
Electrical outlets in Argentina operate at 220 volts and 50 Hertz. If any of your electronic devices operate at a different voltage, you are encouraged to travel with a power adaptor.

I know you are thinking what in the heck is Carry Yourself Like a Lady, Fuck Like a Porn Star. It is a short synopsis of a guide to what a lady should be from a SexMentality viewpoint. Do we cover all the aspects? No, we would need to write a book to do that. There are specific key points we feel every lady should possess.
We break it down into two parts. The Ladies side and the Porn star side, we like to call it the great balance of power. You have a lady in the streets who is looked up to, considered someone that you wouldn't mind taking to see your mom and your family. Then there is a side that all men love to see, which is the freak in the bed. The one that makes your toes curl and keeps you standing at attention.
I understand sometimes it's hard to decipher when to cross that fine line. As a society we have become more open to sex. Its normal to see a woman with her booty hanging out of a dress and presenting herself in an unlady like manner. Yes these women get all of the attention from males but all attention isn't admirable. Truth be told, that is not what most men like to see in a woman they will consider to be wife material.
We break all of this down and more in our ebook Carry Yourself Like a Lady, Fuck Like a Porn Star.
Will be available Friday 2/11/2011 only on www.sexmentality.com

Legislation heavily pushed by Ruidoso municipal officials, to provide local governments the ability to ban the use or sale of fireworks when fire dangers are elevated, is likely to fizzle in the final couple of days of the New Mexico Legislature.
House Bill 373, sponsored by firefighter Emily Kane, D-Albuquerque, has been amended once and substituted twice while on the House of the Roundhouse. The last substitution by the full House sent the measure back to committee. Observers said it was unlikely the measure would get to the Senate.
Ruidoso Mayor Ray Alborn has been in Santa Fe four times this year to advocate for the bill that, in its original form, would have allowed counties and municipalities to restrict a wider array of fireworks when the threat of fire was high, very high or extreme.
"It's business over safety," Alborn said of the watered down version. "The lobbyists are very big in that industry and if people discount that, they better have another thing coming."
Alborn said in the committee hearings he attended, the fireworks industry would
talk about living the American dream.
"I live the American dream. I worked in my parents fireworks stand. Now my kids are working in my fireworks stand," Alborn said of testimony from the industry. He said there are many people living the American dream in Ruidoso and Lincoln County with a retirement or second home in the area. But when a wildfire occurs, locals live the American nightmare, the mayor added.
Ruidoso Assistant Fire Chief Harlan Vincent, who also testified in support of the original bill, agreed with the mayor.
"You know where we all live and we constantly prepare for the American nightmare," Vincent said. "You know, a bottle rocket, some kind of a missile, goes up and hits somewhere mid-slope on a slope like say Camelot, and we have all of those condos on top, somebody could potentially get hurt or die."
Alborn chided lawmakers who ranked business over safety.
"They're voting and they don't live in an area that's surrounded by forest. So I went crazy when I heard about it the other night. I couldn't believe it. I do think the people, the constituents, need to be aware of who voted and how they voted."
The House Floor substitute differed considerably from the original bill and the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee substitute, a March 12 fiscal impact report update noted.
While dropping the high fire danger threshold as a trigger, and leaving only very high or extreme, the latest substitute also removed the use of the National Fire Danger Rating system as the measure for determining current fire danger conditions.
Instead, the House Floor substitute based the fire danger on current drought indices published by the National Weather Service and any other relevant information supplied by the U.S. Forest Service. The New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department called the drought indices inadequate and inappropriate measures of fire risks.
"Our feeling is this substitute bill is not as effective as the original," said New Mexico State Forestry spokesperson Dan Ware. "Rep. Kane does not support it. There was enough taken out of it that it would lose its effectiveness."
Ware said using a drought index to determine the fire threat is short-sighted because drought is just one contributor to the threat of a fire turning into a major conflagration. But he said his agency knew it would be tough to get the bill approved because of the fireworks lobby.
"We had statewide support from fire departments, elected officials, the general public," Ware noted. "This bill made it further than it did last year. If this does get parked and doesn't get passed onto the Senate, it may be tried again next year."
In noting fireworks are one of the preventable human causes of wildfires, the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department wrote that in 2011 the White Fire, caused by fireworks, burned more than 10,000 near Ruidoso and destroyed five homes. Suppression costs exceeded $2.5 million with additional significant expenses to rehabilitate the burned areas.
While municipalities cannot completely ban fireworks, Ruidoso's fire chief can issue a 20-day proclamation that forbids the use of pyrotechnics. When fire dangers are elevated, the village restricts the use of charcoal grills and outdoor smoking.
"When we shut barbecuing and grilling and stuff down, that does not mean that somebody can come in and light off a firework because they feel entitled when they purchase fireworks to use them," Vincent said. "And I can assure you, if I ban fireworks on a 20-day proclamation, and we find somebody lighting fireworks off, I promise you we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law."

Mary Christine Brockert (March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010), better known by her stage name Teena Marie, was an American singer, songwriter and producer. She was known as Tina[1] before taking the stage name Teena Marie, then she later acquired the nickname of Lady Tee (sometimes spelled as Lady T), given to her by collaborator and friend, Rick James.
She was known for her distinctive soulful vocals which initially caused many listeners to believe she was African-American. Her success in R&B and soul and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards and congas. She also wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire, which she later said was her favorite album.
Mary Christine, or Teena as she was called, was the fourth of five children born in Santa Monica, California to construction worker Thomas Leslie Brockert and his wife, home renovator Mary Anne. She spent her early childhood in Mission Hills. Her ethnic heritage was Portuguese, Italian, Irish and Native American. In 2005, while visiting Louisiana, she had discovered that her paternal ancestors once lived in New Orleans.[2] [3] Brockert took to singing naturally, performing Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song by age two. She also developed a fondness for singing the songs of Motown, and her self-professed "gift from God" would become fine-tuned as the years progressed.
Brockert's parents began sending her out on auditions when she was eight years old, which netted an acting role on The Beverly Hillbillies, credited as Tina Marie Brockert. She also sang at the wedding of actor Jerry Lewis' son when she was 10 years old. Reared in a Roman Catholic household, she learned to play the piano under the tutelage of two nuns and later taught herself the guitar, bass, and congas. She would go on to form a semi-professional R&B band with her younger brother Anthony and their cousin.
In the early 1970s, after the family moved to Venice, Los Angeles, Brockert spent her adolescent years in the historically black Venice enclave of Oakwood, nicknamed "Venice Harlem". There, she would acquire a strong spiritual influence from neighborhood matriarch Berthalynn Jackson, an African American who would become her godmother.[3] [4]
While attending Venice High School, Brockert joined the Summer Dance Production, and also had the female lead in the school's production of The Music Man.[5] She also fronted a local Venice rock band "Truvair" in 1974-1975; the band's members were some of her fellow high school students.
After graduating, Brockert juggled auditioning for various record companies with studying English Literature at Santa Monica College. She credited her love of reading with helping her to write the lyrics she's known for.
In 1976, Brockert (as the lead singer member of a band she assembled which included long-time friend Mickey Boyce) gained an introduction to Motown Records staff producer Hal Davis (best known for his work with Brenda Holloway and the Jackson 5). This led to an audition for a film about orphans being developed by Motown. The project was shelved, but label boss Berry Gordy decided to sign her as a solo act, impressed with her singing but having no need for a musical group. She recorded unreleased material with a number of different producers over the next few years, before being spotted by labelmate Rick James who was immediately impressed with her sound. (Some of the earlier unreleased material has since been made available on the compilation album First Class Love: Rare Tee.) At the time, James, already established as a successful recording artist, was on tap to produce for Diana Ross but changed his mind and decided to work with Brockert. The result was debut album release, Wild and Peaceful. The album was, at one point, due to be credited to "Teena Tryson", but ultimately was put out under "Teena Marie", the name by which she would be known throughout her career. It scored Teena Marie her first top-ten R&B hit, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" (#8 Black Singles Chart), a duet with James. Neither the album nor its packaging had her picture on it, and many radio programmers assumed she was African-American during the earliest months of her career. This myth was disproved when she performed her debut hit with James on Soul Train in 1979, becoming the show's first white female guest (she would appear on the show eight more times, more than any other white act).
In 1980, her second album, Lady T, would have her portrait on the cover upon its release. It's also noted for having production from Richard Rudolph (husband of R&B singer Minnie Riperton, who died a year earlier). Teena Marie had asked Berry Gordy to contact Rudolph and secure his input as Rick James was unavailable and she felt unprepared to be sole producer of her own material. Rudolph intended for the song he penned, "Now That I Have You", to be sung by his wife, but it was later given to Teena Marie.[6] Rudolph also co-composed the single "Behind The Groove", which reached number 21 on the black singles chart and reaching #6 on the U.K. singles chart in 1980. The song would also be included on the soundtrack of on the Fever 105 soundtrack.[7] Another notable track, "Too Many Colors," featured Rudolph and Riperton's then 7-year-old daughter, Maya Rudolph, who became Teena Marie's god-daughter.
Also in 1980, Teena Marie released her third LP, Irons in the Fire, for which she handled all writing and production herself, including the horn and rhythm arrangements of her band and all backing vocals, all considered rare at the time for a female artist. The single "I Need Your Lovin'" (#37 Pop, #9 Black Singles) brought Teena Marie her first top 40 hit. This single also peaked at #28 in the UK chart. That same year, Teena Marie appeared on James' hugely successful album, Street Songs, with the duet "Fire and Desire". In an interview, Teena Marie said she had a fever at the time yet managed to record her vocals in one take. After the session, she was driven to a hospital. The two would perform the single at the 2004 BET Awards, which would be their last TV appearance with one another as Rick James died later that year.[8]
Teena Marie continued her success with Motown in 1981, with the release of It Must Be Magic (#2 Black Albums Chart), her first gold record, which included her then biggest hit on R&B, "Square Biz" (#3 Black Singles). Other notable tracks include "Portuguese Love" (featuring a brief, uncredited cameo by James, #54 Black Singles), the title track "It Must be Magic" (#30 Black Singles), and album only track "Yes Indeed", which she cited as a personal favorite.
In 1982, Teena Marie got into a heated legal battle with Motown Records over her contract and disagreements about releasing her new material.[9] The lawsuit resulted in "The Brockert Initiative", which made it illegal for a record company to keep an artist under contract without releasing new material for that artist. In such instances, artists are able to sign and release with another label instead of being held back by an unsupportive one. Teena Marie commented on the law in an LA Times article, saying, "It wasn't something I set out to do. I just wanted to get away from Motown and have a good life. But it helped a lot of people, like Luther Vandross and the Mary Jane Girls, and a lot of different artists, to be able to get out of their contracts."[10] She left Motown as the label's most successful white solo act.
Contacted by Epic Records in the Fall of 1982 after expressing dismay over her Motown contract, Teena Marie signed a worldwide deal with the Columbia Records subsidiary that also allowed her to establish her own publishing company, Midnight Magnet. Epic released the concept album Robbery, which featured the hit "Fix It" (#21 R&B), as well as "Shadow Boxing" and "Casanova Brown." The latter was one of a number of tracks Teena Marie would write over the years about her real-life romance with one-time mentor Rick James. The relationship had ended by that point, but the two would continue a sometimes tempestuous friendship, until James' death in August 2004. In 1984, Teena Marie released her biggest-selling album, Starchild. It yielded her biggest hit "Lovergirl", which peaked at #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart[11] in March 1985. It also peaked at #9 on the R&B chart. The label also released the moderate R&B hit "Out on a Limb", which peaked at #56 on the R&B chart, but didn't break the Hot 100. "14k" was featured on the soundtrack of the film Goonies (1985) but was not a hit (only making the U.S. R&B charts at #87).
In 1986, Teena Marie released a rock music-influenced concept album titled Emerald City. It was controversial with her established fan base and not as successful as its predecessors. She also recorded another rock-influenced track, "Lead Me On", co-produced by Giorgio Moroder, for the soundtrack of the box office hit film, Top Gun (1986). In 1988, however, she returned to her R&B and funk roots, releasing the critically acclaimed album Naked to the World. That album contained the hit "Ooo La La La", which reached the top of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and was her only #1 single on that chart. During her 1988 Naked to the World concert tour, she suffered a fall and was hospitalized for six months.
Teena Marie released Ivory in the fall of 1990; it scored no pop hits, but it did experience two R&B hits: "Here's Looking at You" (#11 R&B) and "If I Were a Bell" (#8 R&B).
During the 1990s, Teena Marie's classic R&B, soul, and funk records were either sampled by hip-hop artists or covered by R&B divas. Teena Marie herself is regarded as something of a pioneer in helping to bring hip-hop to the mainstream by becoming one of the first artists of her time to rap one of her singles—the aforementioned "Square Biz". In the hip-hop portion of that song, she mentions some of her inspirations: Sarah Vaughn, Johann Sebastian Bach, Shakespeare, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni. In 1996, the Fugees paid tribute to her by interpolating the chorus of her 1988 hit, "Ooo, La, La, La", into its own "Fu-Gee-La".
In the fall of 1994, Teena Marie released Passion Play on her independent label, Sarai Records.[12] Lacking the backing of a major label, this album sold less well than her earlier work, but was well received by fans.
Subsequently, Teena Marie devoted most of her time to raising her daughter Alia Rose[13] (who has since adopted the stage name "Rose Le Beau" and is pursuing her own singing career). During the late 1990s, Teena Marie made appearances (as herself) on the TV sitcoms, The Steve Harvey Show and The Parkers. She also began work on a new album, titled Black Rain. She was unable to secure a major label deal for this, and did not want to put it out on her own Sarai label in light of the modest sales of Passion Play. However, a version pressed for promotional purposes was widely bootlegged among fans. This contained the tracks, "The Mackin' Game", "I'll Take the Pressure", "Baby, I'm Your Fiend", "My Body's Hungry", "Ecstasy", "I'm on Fire", "Watcha Got 4 Me", "Black Rain", "1999", "Butterflies", "Spanish Harlem", "Blackberry Playa", "The Perfect Feeling", and "Rainbow Outro". Some of these tracks resurfaced on the later albums: La Doña, Sapphire, and Congo Square; in some cases (e.g. "The Mackin Game") in significantly reworked versions.
Her "Square Biz" was remade as "Hollywood Square Biz" on the hit TV game show Hollywood Squares from 2002-2004.
After a 14-year sabbatical from the national spotlight, Teena Marie returned to her musical career by signing with the Classics sub-label of the successful hip-hop label, Cash Money Records. She released her comeback album, La Doña, in 2004, and follow up Sapphire, in 2006. La Doña became a gold-certified success (and the highest-charting album of her career, peaking at #6 on the Billboard 200 chart) on the basis of the Al Green-sampled "I'm Still In Love" (#23 R&B, #70 Pop) and a duet with the late Gerald Levert, "A Rose by Any Other Name". Teena Marie was nominated for a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Still in Love". Teena Marie quickly followed this success with the release of Sapphire in 2006. While sales were not as strong this time (the album peaked at #24 on the Pop Chart), the release did give her yet another R&B Top-40 hit, "Ooh Wee" (#32); it also reunited her (on "God Has Created" and "Cruise Control") with Smokey Robinson, the early Motown mentor whose style she had emulated on early hits such as "Young Love". Teena Marie parted ways with Ca$h Money records after the release of Sapphire.
On September 19, 2008, Teena Marie performed in concert at B.B. King's Blues Club in New York City. Teena took this time to play a couple of finished tracks from her upcoming album, Congo Square, and she received a positive response from the crowd. Congo Square was released on June 9, 2009 on Stax/Concord Records. She has described the album as "personal and spiritual" and indicated that it was more jazz-influenced than most of her previous work. "Can't Last a Day", a duet with Faith Evans, leaked to the Internet in March 2009. Teena Marie says of Evans, "It was after I had recorded the song ("Can't Last a Day") I got the idea to put Faith on it. I've always loved Faith and her vocal style. She reminds me of me. Her correlation with Biggie — having a career with him and without him — reminds me of me and Rick. I feel like she's a younger me. Of the younger ladies, she's the one I love most."[14]
Meanwhile, with regard to her early-life inspirations for Congo Square, in January 2010 Teena Marie told Lee Tyler, editor of Blues & Soul magazine: "I wanted to do songs that reflected the things that I loved when I was growing up. Every single song on the record is dedicated to someone, or some musical giant that I loved. 'The Pressure' is dedicated to Rick James; 'Can't Last a Day' is dedicated to the Gamble & Huff sound - the Philly International sound'. Then 'Baby I Love You' and 'Ear Candy' are dedicated to Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield - with memories of riding down Crenshaw in LA in jeeps and bumping to music on ``the 808 i.e. Roland TR-808 drum machine. While 'Miss Coretta' is, of course, dedicated to Mrs. Coretta Scott King, the late wife of Martin Luther King."[15]
Sales-wise, the album proved another success, reaching the Top 20 on Billboard's Top 200, and giving Teena Marie yet another Top 10 R&B chart entry. In 2010, Teena Marie continued to be a headliner on the Las Vegas Strip, appearing regularly at the Las Vegas Hilton and other venues until just before her death.
At the time of her death, Teena Marie had completed her 14th CD and was also working on jazz and inspirational CDs. In addition, she was in the midst of her writing her memoir.
Around 2004, Teena Marie lay sleeping in a hotel room when a large picture frame fell and struck her in the head. The blow caused a serious concussion that would result in momentary seizures for the rest of her life. On the afternoon of December 26, 2010, Teena Marie was found unresponsive by her daughter Alia Rose at her home in Pasadena, California.[16] On December 30, 2010, an autopsy was performed by the Los Angeles County coroner, who found no signs of apparent trauma or discernible cause of death and concluded she had died from natural causes.[17] She had suffered a grand mal epileptic seizure just one month before her death.
A memorial service was held at Forest Lawn Cemetery on January 10, 2011. Among the luminaries who attended were Smokey Robinson, LisaRaye, Sinbad, Tichina Arnold, Stevie Wonder, Shanice Wilson and Tata Vega.
Teena Marie, who never wed, gave birth to a daughter in 1991, named Alia Rose. As of 2009, Alia Rose sang under the name Rose LeBeau.[18]
Throughout her career, Teena Marie had lived in Inglewood, California and Encino before settling in Pasadena in the mid-1980s.
In addition to Maya Rudolph, Teena Marie was godmother to Marvin Gaye's daughter Nona Gaye. She also cared for Rick James' son, Rick Jr. and family friend Jeremiah O'Neal. Lenny Kravitz posted a video in which he said that Teena Marie had taken him into her home and helped him when he was struggling early in his career.[19] Teena's hobbies included archery, drawing, and writing poetry.

Florida 4th state to sue BP over oil spill
The state of Florida filed a lawsuit Saturday against British oil company BP and cement contractor Halliburton over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, becoming the fourth state to seek damages for the 2010 disaster.
The suit, among other things, faults BP for not changing the batteries on the rig's blowout preventer. Halliburton was blamed for installing faulty cement barriers that were supposed to gird the well against oil pressure.
The 40-page complaint by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was filed in U.S. District Court in Panama City. The federal court has jurisdiction under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
Bondi filed suit on the three-year anniversary of the tragedy that killed 11 rig workers in the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi filed a lawsuit on Friday.
Louisiana and Alabama sued BP earlier and are participating in a federal trial that is ongoing in New Orleans to determine the liability of BP and others. Cities and counties along the coast also have filed.
The Florida suit focuses on the state's economic losses and includes negligence and other claims under federal, state and maritime law.
Bondi argues that the 2010 spill cost the state a variety of tax revenues, including sales taxes, gasoline taxes, cigarette surcharges and beer, wine and liquor taxes.

Zuma takes aim at top judges
By Moshoeshoe Monare
African National Congress President Jacob Zuma - likely to become the country's next president - has blasted the conduct of the judiciary and questioned the supremacy of the Constitutional Court as the highest court in the land, saying it "is not God".
He also accused Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke of declaring war on the ANC, and criticised other judges who, coincidentally, ruled against him in his corruption court appearances.
In an interview with The Star in Durban on Wednesday, Zuma said he wanted a review of the status of the Constitutional Court because its judges were capable of committing mistakes.
"If I sit here and I look at a chief justice of the Constitutional Court, you know, that is the ultimate authority, which I think we need to look at it because I don't think we should have people who are almost like God in a democracy... Why are they not human beings? I don't want to debate that now, but at the right time I'm keen to engage them before the issue becomes public.
"Because... you can have a judge of whatever level making a judgment (and) other judges turning it and saying it was wrong. (This) just tells you they are not necessarily close to God. And therefore we have to look at it in a democratic setting; how do you avoid that?" said Zuma.
He said the Judicial Service Commission should review the status of the Constitutional Court.
"That's the impression it creates (that judges can't make mistakes); that's why I am saying they are almost close to God. I think it's important to engage them, to raise these issues; they are issues that need to be looked at," he said.
Zuma, who has appeared before these judges, was asked if this would not be interpreted as bullying the judiciary. He replied: "No, you can't bully the judges, because if I say engage them, I am not saying I am going to order them around... I say let us discuss logic. They will also raise their matters. What is important is engaging; it is not instructing or bullying."
Zuma, if he becomes president, would have to appoint the new chief justice, as Justice Pius Langa is due to retire in October.
Asked if he would consider Justice Moseneke, given his clash with the ANC shortly after the ruling party's conference, Zuma said that although he would appoint competent people, he could not ignore the judge's statement.
"I think I will be very sensitive (to Justice Moseneke's statement). And I think that is precisely the reason why we always say judges should know what they say... You can't just stand up and say I don't care what this ANC (sic), and it is a ruling party. You are just declaring war. Why should you say that when you are a judge," he said.

Christmas came early for some 54 area children, thanks to the Fraternal Order of Police, Tuscora Lodge 4, that hosted its "Christmas with a Cop" event on Saturday.
Christmas came early for some 54 area children, thanks to the Fraternal Order of Police, Tuscora Lodge 4, that hosted its "Christmas with a Cop" event on Saturday.
The event, according to President Robert W. Everett, is the FOP's way of providing a positive image of a law-enforcement officer to youngsters — who were given presents they may not have received otherwise — and to their parents.
Everett commended New Philadelphia police officer Ty Norris for his dedication in chairing the event, held this year in the New Philadelphia Elks Lodge banquet facility on Union Avenue NW.
Norris, he added, "takes great pride and does a remarkable job, with everything culminating on the day of the event."
The children, ranging in ages from 2 to 14, were greeted initially by eight to 10 police officers in uniform, and at first, some were taken aback by the situation.
A few were "a little backwards and shy," but after being served refreshments by the officers, the ice was broken and the fun began.
Each child during the two-hour event received a red bag full of individually wrapped gifts specifically for them. After opening their gifts, they also received a visit from Santa Claus who spoke to each child and posed for photographs with them.
The parents were very appreciative and "a little shocked," Everett said. He added that the parents found it "somewhat unique that police were handing out gifts to their children."
The 54 children represented 19 families, and included siblings, upon which the FOP spent nearly $5,600 (about $100 per child) in donations received from fundraising efforts throughout the community.
"We are very appreciative of the donations made through our fundraiser, and to the local businesses that donated or assisted us in another way to make this a huge success," Everett said.
Additionally, the FOP owes "a lot of gratitude to our members and their spouses for contributing an untiring amount of time to make all of this happen as well."
And, "in the spirit of Christmas and giving, the New Philadelphia Elks donated the use of the facility for us to use for this event," Everett said.
Children are selected for "Christmas With A Cop" through a nomination process completed in cooperation with elementary school teachers within Tuscarawas County schools.
Everett noted that when a child is chosen, his or her siblings also get picked, and the entire family is there. "We try to get essential things — and also the gifts they want, but won't be able to have," he added.
Officers who participated Saturday represented the Dover and New Philadelphia police departments, and the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Department.
A moment of silence was held prior to the beginning for the shooting victims of the Newtown, Conn., tragedy.

The Color of Money (1986): Sequels are meant to sweep in fast to cash in on a craze before it dissipates and audiences realize they've been had. Some, though, take their sweet time, and not always by choice. One film that actually benefits from having a whopping 25 years between the original and itself is Martin Scorsese's underrated follow-up to The Hustler. Paul Newman, deservedly Oscar'd for his low-key turn, returns as pool shark and former sparkplug "Fast Eddie" Felson, now a weathered and sage old-timer intrigued and terrified by a young version of himself (Tom Cruise, natch).
Escape From L.A. (1996): It didn't work so well for John Carpenter. Not only had one-eyed badass Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) been absent for screens since 1981's Escape From New York, but Carpenter had utterly and completely lost it. No one came, no one cared, no one should have.
Blues Brothers 2000 (1998): Ditto John Landis and Dan Aykroyd's whole white-man-blues shtick minus Belushi.
Before Sunset (2004): The ideal way to see Richard Linklater's twin chat-offs is to be like its characters. Before Sunrise (1995) found instant-chemistry lovers Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke promising to meet again in six months. Nine years later, it's revealed that it took them nine years. Even with the intensity of the real-time setting, Sunset gains much from putting the viewer in the leads' shoes.
Basic Instinct 2 (2006): It was meant to happen earlier, but every male lead on the planet passed until they finally had to go with nobody David Morissey. Directors included David Cronenberg (!!) and the original's Paul Verhoeven. Only its fading, aging female lead remained on. Some 14 years later, Michael Caton-Jones gets the job, Sharon Stone looks like a Madame Tussauds doll and the whole thing turns out as depressing camp.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010): And it only took 23 years for greed to be bad. Can a Salvador sequel be too far off?

PITTSGROVE — The park map at the Parvin Lake trail head is yellowed and cracking. A bench near Thundergust Lake trail, where walkers or hikers at one time could sit and watch red-bellied slider turtles slip into the water, now has not top.
Soon, these and other battered elements of the park trails will be back in shape.
The Parvin State Park Appreciation Committee recently received a Recreational Trails Program grant of $24,000 to repair and improve several trails at the park.
According to Robert Zuest, president and CEO of the committee, the nonprofit group applied for the grants through the state Department of Environmental Protections Green Acres program.
The Recreational Trails Program is run by the Federal Highway Administration, which distributes the funds to each state. The money comes from taxes imposed on fuel used for off-highway recreational vehicle use.
With the grant, the committee is planning to repair and upgrade all of the trail heads in Parvin. This includes benches and trail maps at each one. Additionally, a new trail head by Thundergust Lake will provide horse-trailer parking for park goers wishing to ride the trails with their equine friends.
Much of the damage to the trails came from flooding in the fall of 2011.
The biggest section that needs work is called the Red Trail or the Long Trail, said Park Superintendent Vince Bonica. That had over 40 separate bridges, and between (Hurricane) Irene a couple of years ago and the flood before Irene, most of those bridges washed away.
If you do walk that trail, you end up having to walk through at least ankle-deep water, sometimes deeper in places, Bonica cautioned.
The Appreciation Committee has already replaced two bridges on Long Trail, but Zuest said the trail still needs to be filled and leveled on either side of those.
The committee has made repairs with a prior Recreational Trails Program grant, including replacing a bridge near the Thundergust Lake trail head in 2011 and the bridges on the Long Trail.
Angie Gomez of Clinton Township and Iveliz Montalban of Vineland walk the trails at Parvin as often as three times a week. And though they love the park, the two have noticed some areas in need of repairs.
They could probably fix some of the picnic areas, Gomez said.
Theres an area with slides and a playground for kids, said Montalban. They would have to fix that up and make it nicer for you to want to take the kids there.
Zuest added that the committee plans to match the funds with volunteer hours.
No timetable has been set for the work.

Critical time at Ranger
- From: NT News
- February 05, 2014
ENERGY Resources of Australia has mapped out nearly 30 per cent of the Ranger 3 Deeps deposit as it works with traditional owners to restore confidence following an acid and ore spill that has halted production at the Ranger mine near Jabiru.
Speaking after full year results were released last week, new chief executive officer Andrea Sutton said 27 per cent of the drilling program at the underground Ranger 3 Deeps deposit had been finished with the drilling to be completed and analysed by the end of the year.
Latest estimates show Ranger 3 Deeps could hold up to 30,000 tonnes of uranium oxide. The company will present the upgraded resource and reserves estimates to Traditional Owners who will make a decision on whether the deposit should be mined.
Ms Sutton said the company was working hard to rebuild the confidence of Traditional Owners in the mine after a leach tank spill last month forced the company to halt processing of its uranium stockpiles.
Relations with Traditional Owners had thawed after the company's move in September to install a $220 million brine concentrator to clean waste water properly before pumping it into the wetlands.
It is not known how seriously last month's accident has set back relations.
Uranium processing cannot resume at Ranger until the ERA gets regulatory approval and investigations are completed by both the government and the company.
Mining has ceased and the main pit is being filled in to prevent acid mine drainage problems of the type seen at Mt Todd and Rum Jungle.
The company can now only sell uranium that it buys on the spot market or processes from previously mined stockpiles. As of December 31, the Ranger stockpile contained 6756 tonnes of uranium oxide.
The high-grade stockpiled ore has already been taken, so gaining Traditional Owner approval to mine new material is crucial to the future of the operation.
Ranger produced 2960 tonnes of uranium oxide last year which was a 20 per cent drop on the previous year.

CaprylidenePronunciation: kap-RIL-i-deen
Class: Medium chain triglycerides
Trade Names:
- Powder for oral solution 40 g (20 g of medium-chain triglycerides [MCTs])
Induces hyperketonemia and provides an alternative energy substrate to glucose in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease.
After oral administration, caprylidene is processed by lipase in the gut, and the resulting medium-chain fatty acids are absorbed into the portal vein.
The ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate crosses the blood-brain barrier and is then taken up by neurons.
The medium-chain fatty acids rapidly pass directly to the liver, where they undergo obligate oxidation.
Special PopulationsRenal Function Impairment
No clinical studies have been performed in patients with renal insufficiency.Hepatic Function Impairment
No clinical studies have been performed in patients with hepatic insufficiency.Children
No clinical studies have been performed in children.Gender
No significant findings were associated with patient's response by sex.Race
No significant findings were associated with patient's response by race or ethnicity.
Indications and Usage
For the clinical dietary management of the metabolic processes associated with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease.
Allergy to milk or soy.
Dosage and AdministrationAdults
PO 40 g/day (1 packet of caprylidene powder, containing 20 g of MCTs) taken during breakfast.
General Advice
- The contents of each packet should be added to 4 to 8 oz (118 to 236 mL) of water, as preferred, shaken until fully blended, and consumed immediately.
- Administer orally once a day during breakfast.
- Caprylidene is a medical food containing a proprietary formulation of MCTs, specifically caprylic triglyceride.

The End of Days
So we didn't die!
We're all still here
With our celebrations
And good ol' cheers
But what did we learn
From this escapade?
How to live life?
How to be brave?
We were given a warning
We'd been given a date
But what did we do
Except create more hate?
We could've saved lives
Could've ended the war
If we were gonna die anyway…
What was it for?
But we just laughed it off
And ignored the chance
To live every day
Like you'd live your last
The world is corrupt
But we didn't change
Even though we thought
It was the end of days
Now what does that say…
About the Human Race?

The way to defuse the Philadelphia Eagles' vaunted "wide nine" pass rush is to run right through the heart of it. The Browns didn't have the means to do it in their preseason meeting on Aug. 24 and were mauled up front.
That's why the appearance on the practice field of rookie running back Trent Richardson was so heartening on Saturday.
For the first time, there was tangible evidence that the Browns' first-round draft pick might – might – be available for the season opener Sept. 9 against the Eagles.
Richardson has not played in the preseason and has not practiced since Aug. 6. He complained that day of pain and swelling in the knee and spent the next day on a stationary bike. He was dispatched on Aug. 8 to Pensacola, Fla., to see Dr. James Andrews. The next day, Richardson had an arthroscopic procedure done by the noted sports surgeon.
The team reported Richardson had a tiny particle of loose cartilage removed from his left knee.
It was the same knee on which Andrews performed another surgery on Feb. 3 to repair a torn meniscus cartilage. ESPN reported Richardson's second procedure technically was not related to the first one. The network also reported Richardson could be back in time to play one or two preseason games. But that didn't happen.
Richardson did not practice on Saturday. He merely rode a stationary bike on the grass field with other wounded players. He wore a black wrap over the length of his left leg.
The question now is whether Richardson can make up for lost time, get in enough practice and play Sept. 9 – and for how long.
"He's going to give it everything he's got," coach Pat Shurmur said. "This will be his first live activity. If he plays, he will be ready to go and play the whole game. We just have to be smart."
Richardson was not made available to the media.
Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert both said they were "very optimistic" about what they've seen Richardson do "behind the scenes." But they won't specify exactly what that is, though Shurmur said Richardson "is running."
"I watch him every day outside my window," Heckert said. "He looks real good right now. He's been working out and has had no setbacks whatsoever. That's all I can tell you. He's doing well."
Heckert won't rule out Richardson for next Sunday's opener, even though he has not yet joined his teammates in practice. They are off on Sunday and then ramp up for Philadelphia with a light practice on Monday. Tuesday is another off day and Wednesday will be the only padded practice of the week.
Traditionally, players who have been out four weeks, as has Richardson, need a good two weeks of practice to return to playing form. But Heckert said traditions are out the window because of practice restrictions imposed by the new collective bargaining agreement.
"There's no hitting," Heckert said. "So I don't know what practice does for you. We have one day of hitting. Now it's running and learning the plays. The one day of padded practice, even that is different. The more (practice) would be better.
"This kid's a little different cat now. I think he's ready to go pretty quick compared to some people I've been around. And shape-wise, you do not have to worry about that at all. He'll be able to do that.
"In a perfect world, yeah (two weeks of practice would be the norm), but I don't think it's a really big deal."
The surgery was done on Richardson as a precaution. So you would think the Browns would proceed with caution and ease in their new meal ticket. But maybe not.
"What is the caution?" Heckert asked. "Is it five carries, six carries, 10, 15, 20? There's not a book on it. Will he touch the ball 50 times? I doubt that's gonna happen. If he's ready to go, he'll go. I know it's not the best situation that he hasn't played in the preseason. If he gets a week of practice in, we'll see how he is."

November 30, 2015
The West Virginia Senate Select Committee on Children and Poverty held a forum in Parkersburg Tuesday, and State Senate Majority Leader John Unger, D-Berkeley wanted to hear the voices of children affected.
After taking testimony from the public, the committee gathered in a circle to discuss the challenges presented.
Stella Moon, adolescent health coordinator for RESA 5 says the committee is crossing the state and Wood County was one of the stops.
"They're talking to individual communities because poverty here may be different from poverty in the eastern and southern part of the state or even the northern panhandle and central West Virginia," Moon says.
One in three children live in poverty in the Mountain State.
"It's not necessarily the stereotypes of a family who isn't working and the parents aren't working; maybe they are substance abusers," Moon says. "It could be the family where both parents are working at above minimum wage job but they are falling between the cracks."
Moon says it's because they don't qualify for federal or state assistance, so these families barely make ends meet.

New York Schools »
Oswego County Schools
Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Schools
Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District is located at 639 County Route 22 Parish, NY and it serves grades K-12 in Oswego County. This New York School District includes the Altmar Elementary School, Parish Elementary School, Williamstown Elementary School, Middle School and High School. The APW School District is nestled in the center of some of the most beautiful country Central New York has to offer. The area is known for its access to hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and snowmobiling. Outdoor enthusiasts are only minutes from a variety of tracks and those who enjoy water sports have a number of lakes and rivers to choose from.
The Altmar-Parish-Williamstown Central School District leans towards the ideas that
all children enter the world with an inherent need to learn from their environment. This need motivates the child's behavior. When the child successfully interacts with the environment, the pleasure that one gains from it, encourages the child to continue the activity. The ability to gain pleasure by influencing the environment is the basis for motivation. If a child starts out with a positive attitude toward learning, then that pattern can carry throughout life.
All motivation revolves around some form of reinforcement - either internal (the activity in of itself is rewarding) or extrinsic (reward comes from others - such as stickers, candy, money). When motivation comes from within the child, the activity is mostly self-sustaining and leads to more involvement and learning. However, when motivation is contingent upon others, the activity is difficult to sustain and they engage in the activity for the tangible reward instead of the enjoyment or learning experience.

I tried to use a generic sql client (aqua data studio) but it seems to be generating an insert for each record. Very inefficient and takes hours for even moderate size files (50K records).
I don't have the MS SQL Server native client so I thought of implementing it myself.
Sasikanth Malladi wrote:No, I do not intend to implement my own version of jdts, which considering my task is a little silly.
What I'd like to see is an ability to do a bulk insert, say inserting 1000 records at a go, instead of one at a time. I'm assuming that such an option is possible and will be more efficient than a sequential insert.
As mentioned, my method of using a generic front end is expensive as it's inserting each record as a new insert.

Kittens – They stalk, capture, kill
Last week I spent an incredible 2.5 hours with 6 kittens. The fun never stopped. Watching and interacting with six little predators learning the tricks of hunting was simply amazing.
I took my good old FZ30 with me and shot some video. Here are the highlights:
While their moves have more enthusiasm than precision at this point, they do foreshadow the effortless elegance of an adult cat.

Modo 401 – It's getting there
In the past few days I've been discovering Modo 401. Here are my thoughts on the new version:

Lina – The arrival
In September 2006 our previous cat, Nina passed away. That year was crappy in more than one way, and the poor cat's illness and eventual death was the sad cherry on top.
After the unfortunate events the family agreed that we don't need another cat, ever.
Two months later the topic of kittens became unusually frequent. Not that we wanted a cat, ever again, because we didn't, not anymore. But if we did, we would have like a gray one, we like gray cats, and it would be really young, so we'd bring it up properly, as opposed to our other cats who were strays and picked our home as their place to live, and they had no vaccination and their medical history was unknown to us.
This theoretic cat would visit the vet frequently to keep its health in check and get all the vaccinations. It would have the litter box in the third floor bathroom, and I'd make toys so we could play, but then again, it's not that we would actually get a cat, we were just having a thought experiment.
One month later we were browsing pet related websites for candidates and eventually found a litter of 13 weeks old gray kittens.read more
