The key to becoming a good auctioneer in the world of warcraft is taking an understanding of how the different economic components in this fictional world all interact with one another and then apply analytical reasoning to this environment. Many players try to jump into discovering strategies and trying out strategies without understanding how all the pieces fit together. Same goes for pvp and pve, and it's this lack of foundational knowledge which leads to "noob" mistakes that seem perfectly rational at the time. Everyone is at a different point in the process of developing gold making strategies and so I tend to write for the largest audience: those in the middle who grasp the fundamental concepts but fail at organization and implementation. However, it is important to take a step back once in a while and provide valuable starter information.
Let's begin with how money moves in world of warcraft. Players accumulate new wealth (money that has never previously been owned before) by slaying mo nsters and completing quests. Money is lost through purchases from NPC's and repairs/spells. The game is designed so that players will easily gather more money than they spend interacting with the game world. The way that players get rich in world of warcraft is by getting other players to give them excess gold. To earn another player's gold you must offer items or a service which they value and do not want to provide for themselves due to time and/or limitations of access. An example service would be a mage teleporting a group to a major city, a player slaughtering all the monsters in a dungeon for a lower level character, or a blacksmith building a set of armor for pvp. Obviously the more professions you obtain (2 major professions per character is the limit) the more services and opportunities for making gold you posses.
This is why I stress leveling characters in order to increase your options. Keep in mind that max level professions have far more ways to make gold than one which is not maxed out yet. Your professions and character's abilities are how you provide the services, but you must also understand the two ways in which you can offer them to other players: Trade chat and the Auction house. By building an understanding of how both the trade chat and auction house function as well as how other players can impact your dealings on these mediums you will be better equipped to manage how you sell your services.
For me, making gold is the same mindset I have for making money in real life with my blogs: Provide a service people want and they will pay you for it. So how do you take what I've discussed today and apply rational analytical thought to start making gold with your characters? The answer is the same answer to the following question: What services do other players want and can you provide them?
As you answer that question, think back to how the different parts of world of warcraft interact and figure out where the following actors fall into play: the farmers, the crafters, the trade chat sellers, the auction house campers, the noobie levelers, the pvp nuts, the pve nuts, etc. Start asking yourself more and more questions and with each answer you'll slowly be building a business model for your characters.

Basically, if you never want to give one gold to another player, you need to have all professions covered and once you have all professions covered, you're set to collect the gold from other players in such an efficient way it'll be pouring in like no mañana.

When I think about how new people can make money, I tend to ignore people supplying things others can't get.
Between guildmates and a pathetic desire to have maxed professions regardless of level, utility or reason, the only things that are restricted are those things a new character couldn't offer.
I suggest to new characters, if you want more money than you are getting, you'll have to spend some time doing things you wouldn't otherwise do. Everyone has things in the game they don't want to deal with, and they spend gold to avoid it. Find something you don't mind, or even find enjoyable, that annoys other people and do it for them.
For example, go out to look for copper ore, rather than relying on what you stumble across. Or watch the AH for cheaper than average materials and assemble things people need; anyone could do it for themselves, or get a guildmate to do the final assembly, but by putting the effort over time, you can make the item for less than your purchaser could, and you can sell it for a bit more than that for the convenience (you're charging for the effort the purchaser doesn't need to make to collect the ingredients and find an idle guildmate)
You're looking for things you don't mind doing, because the increased money makes it worth it. That reduces moneymaking schemes to learning the easiest way to do things. If you're farming materials you want to learn the better places where you can easily gather your loot. If you're making hundreds of glyphs, you need to learn how to make them quickly and as painlessly as possible. If you don't care what you make, you look for what you can make easily where the profit outweighs the work, and how to get ingredients cheaper, and sell them for more, or in greater volume.
When you do the saronite shuffle, you aren't doing anything the original miner, or any other AH customer couldn't have done. They just didn't feel it was worth the effort of learning those professions, or assembling groups of guildies, and the time prospecting, crafting, disenchanting, and selling the results. If it made 10x the money, more people would do it, and the profit margin would either decrease, or you couldn't do as much per day. If it made much less, you might feel it was no longer worth it.

I think one of the biggest things to point out in the WoW economy is that there is no "used" items besides low low level bags that aren't bound. Once something is consumed, it's gone from the market forever.
Knowing this can help others understand how a consistent demand is possible and is something that you can fully take advantage of for a profit. That's why item enhancement profs are the best money makers and always will be.

There's a raiding way to make gold too, it's called GDKP, Gold DKP.
It requires players to bid (publicly) for items in a raid, ToC25 lends itself really well for it.
Anyway Markco, you might want to dig up some info about it, because it's a win-win system for everyone, undergeared, overgeared, rich & poor players.
Anyway, nice post today.
I was in a 10man ICC last night and I was bored.
The reason I like the auction house so much is that it peaks my mental interest in the game.
The economy and needs of every player and how to make gold from them is more important to me than the chance an item will drop.
While others would never stay at an auction house and craft for an hour.

You hammered the best tip, leveling more characters for max professions. Just to add a tip, level a DK to get access to two more professions. Going from 55 to 80 is super easy compared to the latter, that's why I am leveling a DK right now. Sitting at 72 trying to get 80 by next week. Then I can spend all the leveling gold on professions leveling.

If a liquid is freezing, is equation of continuity violated? As the liquid flows, some portion of it is getting frozen. The mass of the fluid thus keeps dropping. Similarly, when a molten fluid flows over a solid, its mass may increase because the solid over which it flows also melts. In either of these flows, can we assume that div u = 0, where u is the velocity vector.
The continuity equation is not violated in either of the situations you describe above. The generic continuity equation for some scalar quantity (such as density) can be written as
$\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t} + \nabla . \psi\mathbf{u} = \sigma$, (1)
where here $\psi$ is the some conseverd scalar quantity, $\mathbf{u}$ is the velocity field and $\sigma$ is the is the generation of $\psi$ per unit volume per unit time (or source term). This source term is introduced when you are adding or taking away from the substance under consideration (or indeed changing its state).
For a ordinary incompressible flow (with the fluid not changing state), the continuity equation can be written as
$\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} + \nabla . \rho\mathbf{u} = 0$. (2)
Taking the density of the fluid to be constant we find (as you point out)
$\nabla . \mathbf{u} = 0$. (3)
However, for the situation describe above, it is not this simplified version that will model the flow correctly as the density is not constant. As long as you model the substance with correct continuity equation, nothing will be violated. In fact, for the cases you speak of, you can still treat the molten metal, or melting ice and as the same continuous substance, but instead of the simplified version of the continuity equation (the divergence free condition you have stated (3)), would need to use equation (2). To model the flow only, where you would treat the solidification as a change in volume/mass you would also need to include the source term (equation (1)).
I hope this helps.

The Owenton City Council must approve the nomination before Evans can assume the role.
West said he wanted the city attorney to be more aggressive.
Two Owen County residents were arrested early Christmas Eve after law enforcement found nine "one-shot" methamphetamine labs at their home.
According to Campbellsville Kentucky State Police Post Spokesman Michael B. Webb, Tammy Snell, 38, and Barry L. Snell, 47, were taken into custody about 2 a.m. Dec. 24 at 2140 Eagle Hill Road near Glencoe.
An investigation by Kentucky State Police Trooper Justin Sams led to the home and to the arrests.

I was in Tallahassee, Florida recently to visit my elderly father. My sister, her husband, and various of their friends often take me on nature adventures when I'm down there–expeditions I would never entertain on my own. With the oil steadily encroaching on the Gulf coastline, they are particularly cognizant of how fleeting these moments might be.
Last week, the adventure involved scalloping. We motored out to a shallow grassy area off Keaton Beach and anchored in about 3 feet of water. Then we plopped overboard with snorkel, fins, and mesh bags. The scallops rest on the sand or the grassy flats, looking for predators with a half-circle of brilliant blue eyes. They can propel themselves quickly by squirting water with their muscles. (This photo was taken by photographer David Moynahan, who collected the largest sack of scallops and then returned over the weekend to capture them on film.) Because of my mixed feelings about killing these creatures and several sighting of a giant ray (yes the very ray that killed the TV nature star with sting to the heart,) my adventure was abbreviated.
My fellow hunter-gatherers filled their sacks–a bounteous harvest in comparison to my dozen and a half. And all of that bounty made for a long, long afternoon of cleaning. And scraping the guts out of hundreds of shells left me yearning for something other than seafood for dinner.
We ordered a vegetarian pizza…

Terry R. Finger
9882 Rt. N, Columbia, Missouri 65203
Ecologists have long been interested in determining factors that affect biological community structure, i.e., the species present in a given area and their relative abundances. The effects of species interactions and environmental perturbations on fish community structure is a topic of considerable interest and debate (Grossman et al. 1982, 1985, 1990, Rahel et al. 1984, Yant et al. 1984, Herbold 1984, Moyle and Vondracek 1985, Ross et al. 1985, Matthews 1982, 1986, Finger and Stewart 1987). Ecological studies of extant communities are, however, limited in their time perspective. At best, such investigations can track changes in communities over several decades, while significant alterations in community structure may only occur over much longer time periods.
Ecological analysis of the fossil record provides an opportunity to assess long-term trends in community structure (Boucot 1978). Sites where the fossil record is sufficiently complete to consider such analyses are, however, rare, especially for vertebrates. The fossil fish localities of Eocene Fossil Lake (Fossil Butte Member, Green River Formation), in and near Fossil Butte National Monument, southwestern Wyoming, provide a unique opportunity for the study of long-term trends in fish community structure. Fishes from Fossil Lake are among the most numerous and best preserved vertebrate fossils in the world, and commercial quarries in the area provide access to large quantities of fossil material in several stratigraphic sections. The purpose of this study is to document fish community structure at localities within the basin of Eocene Fossil Lake and to relate those findings to paleoenvironmental conditions. In this paper I present preliminary findings from three distinct paleoenvironments.
Study Area
Fossil Lake persisted for several million years during the late early Eocene, and at its largest size covered several hundred km2. It was the smallest and most short-lived of a system of three lakes that existed for approximately 15 million years from the late Paleocene to the middle or late Eocene. The environment was subtropical and the lake supported a freshwater fauna, although there may have been periods when at least part of the water column was saline (McGrew and Casilliano 1975, Grande 1994, Grande and Buchheim 1994). The taxonomy of the fish fauna of Fossil Lake has been thoroughly summarized by Grande (1984, 1994) and Grande and Buchheim (1994). Sedimentological studies assessing paleoenvironmental conditions have been conducted by Buchheim (1993, 1994) and others.
This paper includes preliminary findings from three fossil fish sites within the deposits of the middle and upper units of the Fossil Butte Member.
Sample Site A-1: Lewis Ranch quarry site of James E. Tynsky; SE1/4, SE1/4, Sec. 19, T.21N., R.117W., and NE1/4, NE1/4, Sec. 30, T.21N., R117W., Kemmerer 15-minute quadrangle (U.S.G.S.). This quarry is locality A of Grande and Buchheim (1994). Stratigraphically, this sample site encompassed the "18-inch layer" deposits; i.e., the F-1 deposits of Grande (1984) and Grande and Buchheim (1994). Paleontological and sedimentological evidence indicates that these are mid-lake deposits.
Sample Site A-2: The same quarry location as
sample site A-1. Stratigraphically, however, this sample site
encompassed deposits approximately 10 m above the strata
sampled at site A-1, and approximately 3 m above the "K-spar"
tuff layer (see Grande and Buchheim 1994, Figure 2). The
paleontological characteristics of this later lake stage are not
well known, but sedimentological data suggest that there may
have been periods of fluctuating salinity and depth.

Sample Site H-1: Thompson Ranch quarry site of Richard Hebdon, NW1/4, SW1/4, Sec. 22, T.22N., R117W., Kemmerer 15-minute quadrangle (U.S.G.S.). This is locality H of Grande and Buchheim (1994), located approximately 11 km northeast of sample sites A-1 and A-2. Stratigraphically, this sample site encompassed the F-2 deposits of Grande (1984) and Grande and Buchheim (1994). Paleontological and sedimentological evidence indicates that these are near-shore deposits.
The deposits sampled at site H-1 are the sandwich bed deposits that can be traced throughout the lake basin because of their distinct pattern of tuff layers (see Grande and Buchheim 1994, Figure 2). At site A-1, the top of these deposits is less than 2 m below the sampled 18-inch layer deposits, and the two deposits were considered nearly contemporaneous by Grande and Buchheim (1994). Thus, comparison of sites A-1 and H-1 provides a view of mid-lake and near-shore fish communities at approximately the same stage in the lake's history, while comparison of sites A-1 and A-2 provides a perspective on temporal changes in the fish community within the same geographical location in the lake.
Fish were collected in 1993 and 1995 (Table 1). Each locality was sampled by digging through the entire targeted stratigraphic column with techniques appropriate for the site. Similar techniques were described and illustrated by Grande (1984). At site A-1, where large, thin sheets of the deposits can be excavated, sampling was conducted in conjunction with the work of a quarry crew. Areas of 15 to 30 m2 were excavated by defining layers averaging approximately 2 cm in thickness. Within each layer, sheets were removed and split as finely as possible, typically in sublayers 1.0 to 1.5 cm thick. At sites A-2 and H-1, areas of approximately 1 m2 were excavated by defining layers approximately 4 cm in thickness. Within each layer, blocks were removed and split as finely as possible, typically in sublayers approximately 0.5 cm thick. At all sites, fish were identified to genus, measured for standard length (SL; the distance parallel to the vertebral column from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the hypurals), and recorded separately for each defined stratigraphic layer. Stratigraphic positions were determined by measuring distances from tuff layer markers.
Results and Discussion
At total of 3341 fish were collected from the three localities, including 312 very young juvenile Diplomystus less than 25 mm SL from site A-1 (Table 2).
The A-1 site, geographically located near the center of the basin, is dominated by Knightia, Diplomystus, and Priscacara. Mioplosus, Phareodus, and Notogoneus are also relatively common. Many of the Diplomystus are large, exceeding 300 mm SL, and the only juveniles in abundance are very young Diplomystus. These findings parallel those of Grande (1984) and Grande and Buchheim (1994) for mid-lake deposits. Sedimentological analyses of these deposits also indicate a mid-lake site (Buchheim 1993, 1994). The composition of the fish community at site A-1 therefore appears to be characteristic of a relatively deep-water, pelagic habitat. The presence of very young Diplomystus may be an indication of open-water spawning by this genus.
The H-1 site, geographically located near the northeast shore of the basin, is dominated by a greater proportion of Knightia than site A-1. Diplomystus is also abundant, but unlike site A-1, few individuals exceed 150 mm SL and very young juveniles are rare. Mioplosus and Phareodus are quite common, as at site A-1, but Priscacara is considerably less common and Notogoneus was not collected. These findings parallel those of Grande (1984) and Grande and Buchheim (1994) for near-shore deposits. Sedimentological analyses of these deposits also indicate a near-shore site (Buchheim 1993, 1994). The composition of the fish community at site H-1 therefore appears to be characteristic of a relatively shallow-water, near-shore habitat.
Overall fish fossil density at site H-1 is approximately five times that of site A-1. Although this difference may be an artifact of differential preservation at the two sites, the overall excellent quality of specimens from both localities suggests that the difference in fossil density may be the result of an actual difference in fish density between the communities. This finding is consistent with observations from most extant lakes, where fish density in near-shore areas is considerably higher than off-shore, pelagic habitats.
The fish community structure of site A-2, although from a site geographically located near the center of the lake basin, is very similar to that of near-shore site H-1. The sites contained similar percentages of Knightia, Diplomystus and Mioplosus, and nearly all Diplomystus were less than 150 mm SL. At site A-2 Priscacara was slightly more abundant than at site H-1 and Phareodus and several uncommon genera were not collected, but the overall structure of the fish communities at sites A-2 and H-1 were remarkably similar. Overall fish fossil density was also similar at the two sites. These findings strongly suggest that site A-2 contained a typical near-shore fish fauna, although perhaps slightly less diverse than site H-1.
Sedimentological studies of strata contemporaneous with site A-2 suggest that in the later lake stages, there may have been instability in both lake depth and salinity (Buchheim 1993, Grande and Buchheim 1994). The preliminary results of this study indicate that, in response to this instability, the fish community near the historic lake center shifted from a deep-water community to one typical of near-shore areas, but did not decline dramatically. Fish may have been able to survive in freshwater areas around the margins of the lake or the salinity may have been confined to the lower portions of the water column.
Ongoing work includes more refined data analyses to fully document the size distribution of each genus at each site, compare the fish faunal composition among sites with multivariate ordination techniques (e.g., see Gauch 1982), and investigate stratigraphic changes in fish community structure within each site. The objective of the latter analysis is to examine changes during the time period over which the targeted stratigraphic section at each site was deposited. The time involved in deposition is unknown, but is currently thought to be from a few hundred to a few thousand years (Grande and Buchheim 1994). Sampling is also underway at another locality approximately 8 km east-northeast of sample sites A-1 and A-2. This site encompasses the same sandwich bed strata as site H-1, and also appears to be a near-shore site.
This study would not have been possible without the cooperation of James E. Tynsky and Richard Hebdon, who graciously granted full access to their quarry sites. I am also indebted to Arvid Aase, who provided considerable expertise and guidance during field work. Rachel Benton, Peter Ambrose, Vincent Santucci, David McGinnis, Liz Parker, Jim Parker, and the staff of Fossil Butte National Monument introduced me to Fossil Lake and provided much encouragement and logistic support. Funding for this study was provided in part by Dinosaur Nature Association.

Smarting After Michigan Primary Loss, Rick Santorum Dons Leather Daddy Gear to Rally New Voter Base
Despite being a fervent Christian and impressive conservative, it seems Rick Santorum's faith-based campaign cannot compete with the gold-lined campaign battleship coffers of Mormon bishop Mitty Romney.
In state after state, the idiocy of the Moral Majority has been astounding. America is a Christian nation with a Godly heritage, as proven by our money and our pledge of allegiance. The majority of Americans are Christian and believe in God, our Declaration of Independence names God as our defender and liberator, yet, the majority of Christian America keeps voting for a Mormon. How many of you knows what goes on inside secretive Mormon tabernacles?
0%, because Mormon tabernacles do not let Christians enter, and yet we are letting a Mormon bishop inch closer to the presidency. If we can let a Mormon do this, I can see why the gays are having such an easy time gathering victories to allow marriage sodomy.
And it's with that I sympathize with Rick Santorum. If today's "Christians" do not have the scruples to keep a Mormon out of office, then Santorum's going to have to make new allies to keep office. Jesus broke bread with the prostitutes and lepers, so to win Santorum has now realized he'll have to consort with sinners to get into office and protect America from 4 more years of Muslim or worse, Mormon.
New Party Affiliation: Leather Daddy Republicans –
Former Political Party – Values Voters Republicans
New Political Platform – Flirt with homosexuality while maintaining Christian fervency, allow Obamacare for working class families, Be tough on Terrorists, Desegregate Church and State
Old Political Platform – Strongly Oppose Homosexuality, Trust Christians to vote for the right person, Seperation of Church and State not important, Be tough on Terrorists
This shocking photograph of Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum was just tweeted from the politician's campaign headquarters in Michigan. It is assumed after the heartbreaking loss in the state, Santorum feels betrayed by his "Value Voters" voting bloc and is entertaining a new, more impassioned community to support his agenda.
Justification: If You're A Fantastic Pro Family Republican, Does One or Two Same Sex Encounters Really Make You Gay?
At this point, some readers and many voters will be angry. They will say there is no justification for Rick Santorum dressing like a homosexual, getting drunk and possibly liquifying some fresh college intern's rusty dusty in the late hours of the night. As you look at that picture, let me ask you who is without sin.
And as proven by Stephenson Billings, one or two same sex encounters does not necessarily make you gay.
Now don't get me wrong here! I'm not advocating homosexuality. I'm just saying if Rick Santorum…just goes ahead and tinkers a bit with the backside and makes himself more gay friendly, we can get the Homosexual Voting Bloc (HVB) to turn to Christianity and help us pull a good old-fashioned SN2 mechanism, a backside attack, on Mitt Romney.
The vote in Michigan was close: only tens of thousands vote difference. With the way gays are constantly using their little mobile devices and Twitterings and Facebook all hours of the night to meet up for secret methlaced bootay calls and all the other like they do, they can also be campaigning. "Vote for Santorum, LOLzers!" And their normal friends, particularly females, who don't know international policy from Angelina Jolie's right leg will do just that.
It's painfully obvious that Christians are becoming lazy and stubborn, greedy and pathetic. The numbers of true Christians is dwindling. There was once a point in time where even a non-Protestant would have been laughed out of the GOP primaries after throwing his hat in the ring. Now, we're going to have to settle for a values-Catholic named Santorum.
I'll tell you why. If you think having an illegal Muslim in office is bad, it'll be twice as bad if we're all ruled by the Crown Money Bishop of latter day saints. America is a Christian nation, and we've already allowed a: Quaker, Islamosocialist Muslim and now possibly a Mormon to take office. What next? A Hindu. A witchdoctor? The grandchild of Josef Stalin?
The possibilities are endless. I fully support Rick Santorum's homosexuality if it means we get to keep Romney out of office. It's not gay, it's a sacrifice for making a brighter day for America. Sometimes in war you have to kill, and sometimes to get votes you have to really dig deep into the trenches and make some new stiff alliances. Go get em', Rick. America is counting on you.
ChristWire Fans Respond: What do you think of the recent evidence revealing Rick Santorum's "Leather Daddy Republican" campaign fetish in Michigan?
EJ Morrow – I feel bad for those who do not understand the morals America was built on. and why Leather Daddy Santorum would not only hurt the cattle industry, but further lower the already diminishing US population growth rate.
B. Gaul – As his Bible is bound in leather – so shall he be!
M. Angelo – He's not Jesusie enough for me, I say NO!
C. Whittire – Go Leather Daddy Go!!!
E. Alexander – Ill ride his caucasus primarily? It'll be one suuuuuuuuuper Tuesday? One things for sure he sucked at his caucuses?
E. Harvey – Same as yesterday and tomorrow. "he needs to fall backward into busy traffic."
S. D'antoni – I've been caught up with Angelina's Oscar dress all day. Now what did Santorum win an Oscar for?
B. Eagle – Depends on how he pulls it off.
JP Halper – I asked my local homosexual about this, but he said he was busy, likely being promiscuous with animals

College Hockey:Michigan State stops Michigan Tech behind Palmisano's 45 saves
DETROIT — When he stepped onto the ice in the opening game of the Great Lakes Invitational Tournament Thursday, Michigan State goaltender Drew Palmisano hadn't faced a live shot in game action for 19 days, dating back to Michigan State's 3-3 tie with Michigan on Dec. 10 when he stopped 35 of 38 shots the Wolverines directed at him.
Palmisano made up for lost time in the Spartans' 3-1 victory over tournament host Michigan Tech at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
The Michigan State senior netminder shook off whatever rust he had accumulated during the holiday break and stopped 45 of the 46 shots the Huskies fired his way. Palmisano carried a shutout through the game's first 47 minutes, turning aside the first 37 shots he faced.
"Palmisano was really good tonight," Michigan State coach Tom Anastos pointed out post-game. "He gave us a chance to win. We didn't know what to expect. The break was long break, but he had a focus when he came back."
Palmisano himself acknowledged the difficulty in playing the game with such little preparation.
"It's hard to find ice," said Palmisano of his holiday break. "But you do what you can. When we got back, you just try to get as many shots as you can.
"I felt like I was in control. Our defense had a lot of blocked shots. They kept all the rebounds out, which helped me out."
Palmisano's 47-save performance was one shy of his career-high.
"I don't really keep track of shots during the game," said Palmisano. "It seemed like they were trying to throw everything at the net and crash for rebounds."
Greg Wolfe and Chris Forfar did the initial offensive damage for Michigan State with identical-looking one-time shots from just outside the goalmouth. Wolfe gave the Spartans the lead in the first period and Forfar extended that lead in the second period.
Michigan Tech finally broke through against Palmisano and the Spartans at 7:28 of the third period on a five-on-three power play advantage. Ryan Furne blasted a shot from the point to draw MTU within one, 2-1.
Brett Perlini iced the Spartan victory with an empty-net goal with 14 seconds remaining in the contest.
MSU captain Torey Krug was quick to point out the importance of goaltending in the rebound season Michigan State is enjoying.
"Every time Palmy's gotten in the net, he's given our team a chance to win," Krug observed. "We've been in every game this season. Our goaltenders have been a big part of that. When you have Palmy, or Will (Yanakeff), you're not scared to take risks. You know they're going to make the big save for you."
Michigan Tech came into the touurnament hoping to jump-start the second half of its season.
"They got that power-play goal early and that set the tone," said Huskies coach Mel Pearson. "I thought Palmisano played a real good game. We made it easy on him though. We didn't get in front of him. We didn't get to rebounds."
Michigan State's victory vaults them into Friday's tournament final against the winner of the late Thursday semifinal between Michigan and Boston College. Michigan Tech will face the loser of that contest in a consolation match Friday afternoon.

July 16th, 2014 marked a significant event for fans of cherry pie..and murder. The cast and crew of cult classic series 'Twin Peaks' reunited for a red carpet (zig zag pattern unconfirmed) event at Silver Lake's Vista Theater in Los Angeles.
They weren't there strictly to socialize; the event on hand was a screening of 'The Missing Pieces': 90 minutes of unseen footage from David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me', the theatrical release which complimented the quirky murder mystery that aired on the ABC network from 1990-1991.
All the footage will be included in the upcoming Blu-ray box set 'Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery', which contains both 'Fire Walk With Me' along with both seasons of the series along with special features and extras.
Lynch was on hand for the event, kicking off the screening in his typical oddball style; "Tonight I would like to speak about wood. Much happiness can be had from observing a tree."
In addition to Lynch, a large portion of the original cast were on hand for the festivities, including Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Grace Zabriskie, Catherine Coulson, James Marshall, Peggy Lipton, Madchen Amick and Miguel Ferrer.
Speaking to Variety.com, Coulson (aka 'The Log Lady) stated "The show has been very good to me. Now a whole new generation is into it." Wise added, "It was one of the great experiences of my life."
There was an after-party which catered coffee, cherry pie and donuts, of course, and which marked an appearance by cast member Russ Tamblyn (accompanied by his daughter, actress Amber Tamblyn).
Starpulse detailed much of the unearthed footage, which includes more screen-time with David Bowie, more extensive scenes with Wise and Zabriskie, and an extended scene which gives more insight and closure to the baffling series finale.
'Twin Peaks' diehards can see all the extra goodies for themselves when the box set hits retailers on July 29, 2014.

An Uncomfortable Silence
When she was 37, my friend Jeanne Giles Hackney was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through an aggressive course of chemotherapy that made her so sick it almost killed her. Three years later, Jeanne looks as healthy and strong as ever. But she is aware that the cancer could have slipped undetected into her liver, her bones, her lungs, her brain. Even now, a tumor of less than a centimeter, the size of a pea, could be growing. Over the years, others could pop up, increasing in size, pressing against something vital. Like most women who have had breast cancer, Jeanne came to a harsh realization when she finished her treatments. Of course, there are the usual "how am I doing?" visits to her doctor, as well as regular mammograms. But what should a woman who has had breast cancer do when her treatment is over? A period in which she felt she was taking an active role in her own recovery has suddenly ended, and she generally finds herself in a sort of limbo. Even for the many who take drugs such as tamoxifen or Herceptin, a kind of silence descends. And they wait.
"I remember sitting in my doctor's office," Jeanne says. "I asked, 'The likelihood that I'll have a local recurrence is extremely slim, correct?'"
Her doctor said yes.
"So what's the obsession with the breast? Are you going to be checking my liver?"
"Yearly scans? Anything?"
No. Nothing.
Breast cancer patients who have four or more positive lymph nodes may be at the greatest risk for having the cancer travel to the brain. But even they are offered no follow-up screening unless they have symptoms.
As part of her practice, Rosseau has removed brain tumors from many of these women. But it wasn't the surgery that brought this issue to her attention. "The scope of the problem is such that we all know someone who has had breast cancer," she says. "It seems that every week I'm hearing about someone whom I know personally — friends, family, neighbors."
When friends of a doctor fall ill, they naturally turn to him or her for advice. They want to know whether the cancer is really gone. They want to know what's next. Rosseau couldn't find an answer. "I was alarmed to find that we don't really have a standard screening protocol," she says. "We just don't know."
In fact, not screening for metastases until symptoms appear is considered the standard of care. "It's insane," Rosseau says. "If a patient has a single, nonsymptomatic brain metastasis from breast cancer, wouldn't you think she'd like to know about it before she has a headache or a seizure?"
There was a time when waiting for symptoms to appear may have made sense, because there really was no way to detect or treat those small, early metastases. Now, technologies such MRI, which can easily detect even minuscule tumors, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which can treat those tumors — even in the brain — without surgery, are readily available. Indeed, the medical centers that have spent big money on these screening and SRS devices need to pay for the new technology by promoting their use. And in most cases, insurance companies seem willing to cover the cost.
Rosseau recently won a $65,000 grant from the privately funded Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery andNeuroresearch Foundation to establish a trial screening program — as far as she knows, the first of its kind — for women who have had breast cancer. "I'm looking at something that I can treat," she says. "I want to know who's at risk for brain metastasis. In the era when every brain metastasis had to be treated by craniotomy — and if they were multiple, then you were looking at multiple craniotomies — it made sense to kind of close your eyes and hope for the best. But it doesn't anymore, because we have a very good technology now."

One of my favorite songs! Great work on this!
hi, Chris. i just wanted to ask you how you did this. i've this project coming up at uni and we have to submit something like this. So. How did you do this. is there any tutorial?
Hola Jenna, theres no tutorial that i used honeslty I just took a look around Deviantart saw something i liked and kinda figured it out myself, basically what you do either follow an image that you would want to use to outline for your Typography something that clearly represents what your talking about then go ahead and use the paths tool and type along those paths.
Ummm. Okay, i'll try what you're telling me to do. Thanks though.
really though what you want to do is go ahead and search typography, look for tutorials that would help you obtain your goal and then from their play around if i had a way of showing you my screen and what i do Live i wouold so do it
what program did you use?
Photoshop and alot of paths, well actually for the heartbreak warfare no paths were really used but in the John Mayer: Assassin i used alot of paths
And i think the use of colors are great!!!!!
really? at some point it bothered me a little because i thought it was too much >_< i was debating on chaning it but i think ill leave it for creative advice like yours
Hahaha!!!! Thank you for calling me creative! The colors are great. They look bold and the proportion of the color red is alright as well.
I've studied typography and currently am studying Graphic Design at university... the colors are good. The bottom text is a little bit of a problem... And... that's all.
I've studied typography and currently am studying Graphic Design at university... the colors are good. The bottom text is a little bit of a problem... And... that's all.
However, I find the bold font you used for "Battle Studies...." too broad and confusing.... At first I couldn't make out what it says....
thank you for your feedback!! i know ive gotten alot of advice and comments about the bottom font >_< but not bad for a first real attempt i need to pick somethin g easier on the eyes thank you so much again!
You're welcome!
That's great.
PS: The poster was great, btw. Honestly, it looks beautiful!!!
You're welcome once again....
Very very VERY good! I love it! It's eye-catchy and beautiful!!!!
This should be on Time Square, a giant poster.
whoa thanks so much for the compliment!! i hope to make more typography's with amazing comments like yours
Pretty cool! I like where you are going with this. The only thing that bothers me the it font used for title on the bottom. Its a very hard to read font because the negative spaces that define it are sooooooooo tiny or non-exsistent. The "U" in "Studies" doesn't even look like a "U". Pretend you didn't know this song or album ever existed and took a glance at this poster on the wall somewhere. Try a different but similar font or modify the letters that are harder to read just a little bit.
could you suggest some great fonts if possible? i would really appreciate it
yeah that font is really hard to read haha!! but it is my first serious attempt i was looking for something modern and sleek,but thank you for the feedback!! i really appreciate it im buidling a whole font collection just for that purpose
Cool cool! Go for legibility... there are lots of pretty, sleek and cool fonts out there... but some letters in them are hard to read especially when densely put together. Best way to test is on a paragraph.

Texas Tech Clinches Series With 6-2 Victory Over Iowa State
Texas Tech clinched the series Saturday with a 6-2 victory over Iowa State.
March 31, 2012

LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech picked up three runs in the third and sixth innings and used a solid pitching performance from Brittany Talley to take 6-2 series-clinching victory over Iowa State Saturday afternoon at Rocky Johnson Field.
The victory, Tech's 12th-straight overall, was vastly different than Friday's series opener where the Red Raiders (29-7; 2-2) scored 19 runs, the most against any Big 12 opponent in school history.
Instead of using the long ball like the night before against the Cyclones (10-21; 0-5), Tech drove in runs with shots to the gaps, beginning with a two-run double from Emily Bledsoe in the third.
Bledsoe came around later in the inning off an Adriana Perez bloop single to left field. Despite snapping a three-game streak of hitting a home run, Perez was once again solid at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI as she also drove in Mikey Kenney off a sixth-inning single.
The performance marked Perez' fourth-straight multiple-hit game as she is 11-for-13 during that stretch with five home runs and 17 RBI.
Tech's other RBI in the game came from an Ashley Hamada single in the sixth that just got past shortstop Lexi Slater. Hamada finished 2-for-3 at the plate, joining Kenney (2-for-3) and Raven Richardson (2-for-4) with multiple-hit games.
In the circle, Talley (9-2) was strong through five innings, giving Tech the quality start it needed in the middle game of the series. Her only flaw was a two-run home run in the fifth by Erica Miller that caused Shanon Hays to turn to Cara Custer out of the bullpen.
Custer retired six of the seven batters she faced over the final two innings, earning her third save of the year.
Talley finished with only five hits surrendered while striking out three and walking one. She picked up her first victory in Big 12 play this year in only her first start thus far.
Tori Torrescano (6-14) took the loss for the second-straight day as the right-hander surrendered six runs, four of which were earned, off seven hits in 5.1 innings of work. Madison Jones worked around a hit to record the final two outs in the sixth inning.
The two teams wrap the series with a noon first pitch Sunday afternoon. Tech will be looking for its 30th win of the year which would mark the first time since 1997-99 that the Red Raiders won 30-plus games in three-straight seasons.

We have a ballot with three candidates and three ranked choices. What I'm wondering is if there is any difference between voting someone as third choice and not selecting a third choice at all. Are there any situations under which a different result could occur, like perhaps in a tie breaker?
You can use as many or as few of your votes as you like.
However, if there are three positions available or many more candidates than positions it makes sense to use all three votes.
In this election there's only one position available and only three candidates so you could just use one vote for the candidate you want to get the job as it's quite likely (though not certain) that there'll be a definitive result after the first round of voting. If you think that the won't be a result from the first round then it makes sense to use your other votes to indicate where you'd like your vote to go if your candidate is eliminated.
If there were more positions available or more candidates then your 2nd and 3rd votes would come into play once the candidate with the most first votes has been elected or if your 1st choice was eliminated.
However, if you only like one (or two) candidates then only use one (or two) votes. Please don't vote for someone - even as a second or third choice - if you don't think they'll make a good moderator.

Schools across the borough are to save thousands of pounds and cut energy use as part of a partnership with the Carbon Trust.
Croydon Council, alongside 42 other local authorities is participating in the Collaborative Low Carbon School Service Pilot which ran for ten months last year and included eight primary schools and two secondary schools.
The council's sustainable development and energy team now hopes to roll it out across more of the borough's schools from April.
Councillor Jason Perry, cabinet member for planning, transport and sustainability, said: "This programme encouraged the council and 10 of our schools to work together to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, and it had some marvellous results.
"The schools displayed insight and imagination in finding a range of ways in which savings could be made, and, by implementing a mixture of behaviour change and energy efficiency measures, showed that positive changes can be made while having a productive effect on pupils and their education.
Rockmount Primary, Upper Norwood used a simple system of red and green labels to show staff and pupils which lights could, and which should not, be switched off saving an estimated £463 and a reduction of 3.1 tonnes of CO2.
Thomas More Catholic School, Purley borrowed almost £19,000 to buy the new energy efficient fittings which should see savings of £4,100 and 23.92 tCO2 per year.
Coun Perry said: "We're hopeful other schools will see the achievable benefits and savings, and sign up to the scheme when the low-carbon schools service in Croydon rolls out in April."

New Student Orientation
New Student Orientation is the key to your successful transition into Barry University. In order to ensure a smooth transition from your home to college life, orientation is mandatory for freshmen, international students, and transfer students with fewer than 30 college credits.
During orientation you will meet with your academic advisor, schedule classes for the semester, order books, pick up your college ID, get a closer look at the residence halls, test out your commute (if living off campus), meet fellow classmates, and begin lifelong friendships.
Freshmen Students
Since this will be your first time in college, orientation is a two-and-a-half-day program designed to introduce you to university life. You and your family will learn first-hand what you can expect from your studies at Barry.
Local to South Florida? We also offer a one-day program for commuter students who would like to focus their time mainly on registration and campus resources during orientation.
Transfer Students
If you are transferring from another academic institution, such as a community college or another university, you will attend either our one-day or one-and-a-half day orientation program. You will become acclimated to the academic life on campus by meeting with your advisor and checking out the many different schools and majors we have to offer.
International Students
If you are coming from another country, you will attend orientation in August, just in time for the fall semester. Orientation will be a two-and-a-half-day program where you will become acquainted with campus life and the different services Barry offers. Stop by the Office of International and Multicultural Programs during orientation to meet your representatives who will facilitate relationships with Barry's academic and administrative departments, and government agencies.

Why do you think Americans are obsessed with looking young?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: Practicing here in Miami, obviously, it's a culture that is very into looks -- how you look, how you appear -- so I find many patients, men and women, seek cosmetic treatments to improve their physical appearance. The question is, why? I think that it's just a natural instinct honestly that people want to always look better.
Do you think in our parents' and grandparents' generations they were just as obsessed?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: Yes and no. I do think that 50 years ago people were also concerned their appearance. The difference between 50 years ago and today is that we have so many more options available … so many more procedures that are available and I think what's making things a little more attractive to people that there are nonsurgical interventions that allow people to improve their appearance. So 50 years ago, you had to do surgery or you could wear makeup, I mean those were your options, and now we have lasers. We have light devices that can improve your appearance without the risk of surgery.
How long have lasers been around?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I would say lasers have gained popularity in the last five to 10 years, but exponentially so in the last two to three years. There are lasers for everything. Lasers can't replace surgery, but there are lasers that can really achieve great cosmetic results. So we have lasers that treat dark spots on the skin, redness in the skin, loose skin -- all different types of skin problems. There are many different types of lasers and focus on whatever people are most concerned about.
Do you think we live in a youth-obsessed culture?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I do feel that we are youth obsessed. I think that in the U.S. there is definitely more of an emphasis of looking younger whereas in other countries there is an emphasis on beauty but not necessarily looking younger. So that's something that is unique to us and it's especially common in certain cities. I do think that that we have an emphasis on looking younger here in the United States. I don't think it's worldwide, but definitely here.
What is the Titan laser?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: It's actually a light device, so sometimes we use the term lasers and light interchangeably, but Titan is a light that is used to tighten the skin.
How does it work?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: How Titan works is that it heats up the deep layer of our skin which is the dermis that contains collagen, and when you heat up the dermis it kind of tricks the dermis into thinking that it was injured so that you produce new collagen and the results of skin tightening.
How does the Titan tighten the skin?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: When we do studies in the lab we know that when you heat up collagen it does two things. One is that it contracts, so sometimes you see some immediate tightening because the collagen fibrils actually contract, but long term it kind of tricks your skin into thinking it's injured and then you produce new collagen. Just like if you cut your skin and you need to produce new collagen to heal that wound, this kind of tricks the skin into thinking that it's injured so that you produce new collagen and then you get a resultant skin tightening.
Can you feel the Titan?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: You can't feel it. It's definitely something you see. It's most obvious over bony structures, so I love it for the jowls on the face and sometimes on the cheekbones, but it works really anywhere on the skin. I treat every part of the body. So I treat the abdomen, the legs, the underarms … all over … every area where you have loose skin.
Who are good candidates for the Titan?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I've seen great results on many different types of patients, but in my practice I think the ideal patient is someone who doesn't have that much skin laxity. Someone who is just getting some mild jowls in this area -- that is an ideal patient in my practice. I also like to use it on the upper part of the face to tighten where the cheeks are and then I have fantastic results in loose abdominal skin after pregnancy. That's a very common complaint. There's no real option other than a surgical intervention and this gives patients an opportunity to tighten their skin without surgery. Actually, I love it for that type of patient because they're young patients, so they have a lot of potential to regain some elasticity. Some people believe that it may be less effective or a little less long lasting in older patients, but in young patients, people tend to do very well. So these are young women who just had a baby and then one year later still have loose skin. They do really, really well and that is one of my favorite areas to treat.
What does the treatment feel like?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I always describe to patients that the Titan feels like it gets warm, very warm, very, very warm and then cool. Each pulse lasts around six seconds and so we go over each area three times and the procedure can last anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes depending on how large an area we're treating. The treatments are once a month for a series of three, at least three treatments. Sometimes we do more, but at least three treatments to see initial results.
Can you see results after the first treatment?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: That's a great question and it's a little bit complicated. As I mentioned earlier collagen contracts when it's heated so you do see some immediate tightening and that's a great effect and patients love to see that. They sit up from the procedure and you hand them a mirror and they look better instantly. But that's actually not the effect that I'm most interested in. I'm most interested in the new collagen deposition that happens over a period of time. A lot of times I talk to patients that after the first treatment, it's okay if you don't see significant results. Usually after the second and third, you'll start to see some significant tightening and that can continue up to six months after your last treatment.
Do patients ever get four or more treatments?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: It depends on the patient. Some patients after three treatments are happy with the results and decide to come back once a year for a touch up if they feel that they need that. Other patients want to achieve better results and if economics isn't an issue, then they will continue to get more treatments. The one thing I do want to mention is that the Titan does not replace surgery. When a patient walks in and pulls their cheeks straight back and say I want you to do this, it's not the procedure for that person. It gives you great results, but they're subtle results and you have to recognize that this is not replacing surgery. It's just providing an option.
Is it a procedure that, unless it was you getting it done, you wouldn't know a person had it?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: No. It's a very subtle improvement, but the woman or man who has been treated always notices the improvement, or in most cases notices the improvement, but it's definitely a subtle improvement and it's not a replacement for surgery. For younger women who would just like to notice some subtle skin laxity or looseness in their skin, it's the perfect procedure. And for women after they've had a baby and they have loose skin and don't necessarily want an abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck, it's a great option.
How long do the results last?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: We are not exactly sure how long it lasts. We know that at least two years out, you can see some improvement, but what I tell my patients is to follow up in a year and if you need a touch-up or a series of touch-ups we can always do that.
How much does it cost?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: It depends on the area you're treating. For treating lets say the face, it can range anywhere between $600 to $1,200 per treatment. For the abdomen, anywhere between $800 to $1200 per treatment.
What type of patients, economically speaking, get this procedure done?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: There are definitely two types of patients. There are patients who don't have the economic limitation and so therefore, it is definitely an option for them and not something they have to worry about. But there are other patients who need to find the money and they want to choose between certain procedures and for example, someone with loose abdominal skin would be choosing between a tummy tuck which is a very costly procedure and this, which is a little bit less expensive, it doesn't give surgical results, but it's another option. So it really depends on the patient, but women and men who are troubled by these things, if it really bothers them they'll find a way to pay for it.
Some plastic surgeons say their patients aren't as wealthy as most would expect.
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: Right, yes. And they've done studies on that. Some procedures are very, very expensive, but many cosmetic procedures can be affordable if, you know, it's a high priority for that person. I do a lot of laser hair removal and women with facial hair really will go out of their way to be able to pay for their laser hair removal because that causes such a tremendous impact on your self-esteem.
For something like that -- unwanted facial hair -- are there sometimes underlying causes of it?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: There are. There are medical things that can cause unwanted facial hair, but many of my patients I check and patients that I'm suspicious actually, in all of my patients with unwanted facial hair, I recommend that they have their hormones checked. And the vast majority of them have completely normal hormones and it's just hereditary and a normal variant, but in our society, it's not normal to have facial hair so those women will go out of their way to get that treated.
Why does the skin change with age?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: There are different things that give our dermis its volume and its youthfulness. There is hyaluronic acid, which is a sugar that's naturally found in our skin that binds 1,000 times its weight in water, so it gives us a lot of volume, it makes us look plump and our skin look very youthful. Collagen is what you can consider like a building block -- the main component of the dermis -- and elastic tissue is just another component that adds to elasticity. With aging skin we see a decrease specifically in collagen and in elastic tissue. As you age you're collagen and elastic tissue don't have the same integrity as they do when you're younger. So one of the things that replace frequently is hyaluronic acid and we do that with different fillers. Collagen was the original filler, but now our newer fillers contain hyaluronic acid and it's a gel that is injected into the skin to give it volume. And then newer devices such as lasers can increase collagen production and improve the collagen that we currently have in our skin.
What are some other devices used to improve the appearance of skin?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: There is another device. It's called Thermage and that uses radio frequency waves to heat the collagen to induce collagen production, so they both work similarly, the only difference is that the Titan laser uses light to heat the skin and Thermage uses radio frequency waves, and the results are similar.
Is one safer than the other?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I think they're pretty much equivalent. There is the general feeling that the tightness probably hurts a little bit less than the other procedure and with the radio frequency waves, there is a small risk -- a very, very small risk of skin atrophy or getting a little dent in the skin that has not been reported with the Titan.
What are the risks with the Titan?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: The main risk of the Titan is there some discomfort so during the procedure if someone didn't want a procedure that has any pain at all. It definitely has some discomfort, but for most patients it's tolerable and I'm talking to them the whole time. The other small risk are blisters, which I haven't seen in my practice, but it's definitely a possibility. Those are usually superficial and will resolve on their own within one to two weeks.
Is this safe for all types of skin?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: This device is safe in all skin types. I treat every skin type from lighter skin to very, very dark skinned patients without any problems.
How long has the Titan been around?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: The Titan has been available for three to four years, I'd say.
How widely is it used?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: It's a very popular laser because this is something that women and men frequently complain of -- loose skin on the face. And really in the past, the only other option was surgery. So this laser has offered patients a new alternative, so for that reason I think it's very popular. There are many doctors in every major city who has this light device.
What are some of the newer things that have you excited as a dermatologist?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I have a lot of patients with skin of color and in patients with skin of color the most common complaint is uneven skin tones or hyperpigmentation. So the things that I'm most interested in are new treatments for hyperpigmentation. We have a treatment that has been available for over 50 years, tried and true, very reliable, called hydroquinone, but that really has been limiting. Our treatment armamentarium, was limited to hydroquinone. Now there are some newer agents for helping to improve pigmentation and those are the things that I'm really excited about.
There are many new lasers coming out … there is always a new laser coming out. There are some new lasers that are surfacing lasers, so in the past the old lasers that used to resurface the skin, remove the entire top layer of the skin, and you had down time of two weeks or more until you're epidermis was able to heal. And now there are newer lasers that are ablated so they do remove a portion of the epidermis, but they have less down time, maybe three to seven days of down time.
What are those lasers called?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: One is called the Pearl. Another is called Fractzel, which has been available for a while and there are many new fractionated devices that are being introduced. One is the Fractional CO2 laser. So there are many new lasers that help to ablate the skin and improve the texture and appearance and fine wrinkling, but without the downtime of the old lasers. Lasers tend to be very highly regulated, they tend to be regulated because for them they are costly to make and so for them to introduced.
What are some new things other than lasers?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: Besides lasers, something that's new that a lot of patients ask me about is mesotherapy. It's not actually new. It's actually been available for years but its gaining popularity recently. Mesotherapy is injecting various different chemicals or vitamins into the skin to help either shrink fat or make it look it more youthful to improve the appearance of the skin. That really hasn't been well studied and I have an open mind, but safety and efficacy has not been established yet.
What do you think the future holds for that field?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: That's a great question. It's hard to think about what the future holds because it's a very innovative field and there's always new things coming onto the market. I think there will be a lot of new fillers because fillers are very popular -- the older fillers with collagen, the new ones are hyaluronic acid, but I think that there will always be many new fillers. The ideal filler would be low risk, so low risk of bruising, low risk of side effect and long lasting. Fillers are one area that I think are going to grow and even toxins. Botox is actually the only FDA approved botulinum toxin right now, but new toxins will be introduced into the market and I think that's another area of huge growth. Topical creams is actually a new, there has been a lot of studies on a new Botox cream that would be applied in the doctor's office and for people who are scared of needles, it would offer them an option to treat their wrinkles without using needles to inject Botox. That's something that is new and on the horizon … not approved yet, but new. So it really is an innovative area of medicine and we're always surprised by the new things that are introduced.
Do you think there will always be a demand for new things?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I think there will always be a demand for more. I mean living in Miami, you really see that this is a trend that is here to stay. That's my belief. I think, you know, just like everything there will be peaks and valleys in popularity of cosmetic procedures, but I do think overall cosmetic procedures, as long as there is safety and they are not especially expensive, women and men will always want to seek improvement if they can.
Have you ever had any cosmetic procedures done?
Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: I have. I've had Botox. Most procedures that I do on my patients I do them myself. I've done laser hair removal. I've done various lasers. I've done Botox I've done all types of procedures. I do that on purpose because I want to be able to explain to someone what to expect.

contributing to a tax-deferred retirement plan such as a 401(k), 403(b), or 457
plan make sense if a job change is looming? Those mulling a career change or seeking
a move from part-time to full-time employment may identify with this.
off, contributions made by the employee are not "lost money." Your own
contributions, plus or minus any investment gains or losses, are yours to keep.
Employer contributions, however, may be subject to a vesting schedule.
Those plans subject to a vesting schedule enable the investor to own more and
more of the employer contributions over time. Even if only fractionally vested,
that fraction is free money.
For example, consider
a part-time employee who earns $10,000 a year and contributes 6 percent -- or
$600 -- to a 401(k). Let's say the employer matches 50 cents for every dollar
contributed by the employee, up to a maximum of 3 percent of the employee's salary,
a common policy. The employee contributed $600, and the employer kicked in $300.
If the employee was only 25 percent vested upon leaving the company, the employee
departs with $75 of the employer's contribution. While it may not sound like much,
that sum represents a 12.5 percent return on the $600 employee contribution. And
this is before considering any investment earnings in the interim.
participation may involve a longer waiting period than many realize. Take, for
example, someone who plans to change jobs within the next year and decides to
bypass the enrollment opportunity in the current retirement plan. However, once
changing jobs, the investor will likely have to wait before becoming eligible
to contribute to the new plan. Those who switch jobs after a year and then hit
a six-month waiting period in the new job have delayed any participation for 18
months. Also, not every employer offers a retirement plan, so delaying participation
now may mean an indefinite delay to saving for retirement.
employees who begin contributing now begin to amass a retirement nest egg that
can grow for a longer time. It also establishes a good habit: paying yourself
first. This builds financial discipline and will come in handy when encountering
that waiting period upon switching employers. Already in the habit of living on
less, the investor is more likely to use wisely the extra cash in the new paycheck.
That six months of excess cash can be used to fund an IRA contribution, or can
be stockpiled to double-up on 401(k) contributions once eligible. For 2002, those
younger than 50 can contribute up to $11,000 to a 401(k), and those 50 and older
can contribute up to $12,000.
What happens to the vested balance after a
job switch? Depending upon the balance, you may be able to leave it intact in
the current plan. Or the new employer may permit a transfer into its plan. A third
consideration is a direct rollover into an IRA. It is very important not to cash
out the balance, as mandatory 20 percent withholding and a 10 percent early withdrawal
penalty apply. This isn't the down payment for a new car -- this is your retirement
security in its infant stages.
One final caution is to refrain from borrowing
from a 401(k), as any outstanding loan balance must be repaid shortly after termination
from the current employer.
