Health Hotline: Doctors answer questions about skin care and plastic surgery
Ravell Call, Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Protecting your skin from excess sun is one of the best ways to avoid potentially cancer-causing exposure.
Applying liberal amounts of sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every 2 to 3 hours will offer adequate protection from the sun's damaging rays, said Dr. Adam Taintor, a dermatologist at Intermountain Healthcare's Alta View and Riverton hospitals.
"Most of us fail to reapply sunscreen because we get busy, " he said. However, reapplication is especially important for extended period of sun exposure.
He said a good moisturizer with sunscreen is the best way to protect skin on a daily basis.
"Make sure you have broad spectrum (sunscreen) that covers UVA rays of the sun and UVB," he said. "You need both to protect your skin."
Taintor, along with Dr. Brian Reuben, a plastic surgeon at LDS Hospital's Avenues Specialty Clinic, took questions Saturday from the public regarding medical concerns and cosmetic procedures dealing with the skin as part of the Deseret News/Intermountain Healthcare Health Hotline.
The hotline is offered to readers through a partnership between Intermountain Healthcare and the Deseret News. It covers a different health topic the second Saturday of each month.
Numerous calls were regarding body contouring following major weight loss.
Rueben said among the chief concerns for weight loss patients is the safety of the surgery.
"Most of these bigger procedures should be done in a hospital setting or at a well accredited outpatient surgical center," he explained.
He also noted that patients should strictly follow their post-operative nutrition regimen to avoid potential health setbacks.
Along with body contouring, Reuben performs general plastic and reconstructive surgery including breast augmentations, abdominoplasty and other procedures. He also performs permanent skin rejuvenation procedures in which fat deposits are moved throughout the body to eliminate wrinkles.
For those patients seeking slow the affects for aging from wrinkles, Reuben said Botox can be a safe, temporary solution if conducted appropriately.
Non-permanent procedures, such as Botox injections, are less costly per service but don't last as long and often need to be redone, he said.
"Botox is more of a preventative measure, to try to prevent wrinkles from happening," he said. "If you have really deep wrinkles, it can soften them. But sometimes fillers actually give additional volume into those areas and help (reduce) those wrinkle lines."
Because the cosmetic and plastic surgery industry is not well-regulated in Utah, Reuben advises patients who are considering a procedure to conduct extensive due diligence to ensure that their provider is a properly trained plastic surgeon.

Capturing aerial footage of vintage World War II airplanes and world-class aerobatic aircraft required a unique set of production tools.
Director and cameraman Jody Eldred used a combination of Sony XDCAM HD optical camcorders and the new XDCAM EX solid-state memory camcorder to stand up to high speeds, extreme gravity pulls, wind, turbulence and tight spaces.
The event was the "Gathering of Mustangs & Legends" air show in Columbus, OH, which brought together a collection of more than 50 legendary World War II fighter pilots and one of the largest gatherings of P-51 Mustangs since the end of the war.
The crowd was treated to a stunning aerial demonstration of historic P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft, current U.S. Air Force aircraft and aerobatic demonstrations by world-famous pilots, including the world champion woman aerobatics pilot Patty Wagstaff.
Eldred had four crews shooting throughout the four-day event using the PDW-F350, the new PDW-F355 and the new PMW-EX1 XDCAM EX camcorders. Each camera was chosen for a specific application, according to Eldred, because there was a range of different shots and environments he was trying to capture.
Footage shot with the optical disc cameras and the solid-state SxS ExpressCard media used in the PMW-EX1 seamlessly matched and cut together well during post production, Eldred said.
The crews used the PDW-F350 and F355 camcorders primarily as the A cameras to capture the beauty shots and fly-bys, Eldred said. The PDW-F355 also was used to document more than 20 hours of interviews with some of the most famous P-51 fighter pilots in the world.
Some of most dramatic footage was captured using a fisheye lens adaptor with the XDCAM-EX1 and mounting it inside the cramped cockpit of Wagstaff's plane, inches behind her head. The camera provided HD POV documentation of her 12-minute demonstration, sometimes at 10Gs.
A military C-130 cargo aircraft was used as an aerial camera platform for most of the air-to-air footage. Using both XDCAM camcorders, Eldred and his team shot footage straight out the back of the plane.

Raiffeisen, a leading Swiss bank, is the first bank in Switzerland to offer Cronto's Visual Transaction Signing Solution as next-generation protection for their online banking customers. Available to customers today, CrontoSign will help to defend online customers from most advanced attacks poised by Trojan malware specifically targeting online banking.
Pascal Dürr, Head of Electronic Channels at Raiffeisen, Switzerland, says: "We have been looking for a solution that can offer both the security of transaction signing and the user experience that meets the expectations of our 840,000 e-banking customers. We chose CrontoSign for our customers because it offers strong security, yet is extremely simple to use. "
The CrontoSign solution will be known to Raiffeisen customers as "PhotoTAN", and is recommended by the bank both for secure login and payment authorisation. During the login process, the CrontoSign image will be displayed on the webpage and the PhotoTAN App would automatically recognise it using the camera of the smartphone. Then, similarly to the security cards currently used, a unique password will be shown to the customer to complete the login. The advantages of the PhotoTAN App are really highlighted when customers use it to authorise their payment instructions: in addition to the confirmation code, the App will decode and display the payment information – for example, amount and recipient. All this information is securely transmitted from the bank to the customer's mobile phone using the CrontoSign image that is unique to every customer and every transaction.
"There are over 3 million logins and over 5 million payments per month initiated by Raiffeisen`s e-banking customers and we are proud to be working with Raiffeisen to enhance the security of these transactions", adds Igor Drokov, CEO, Cronto.
Raiffeisen's customers can now download the PhotoTAN Raiffeisen Switzerland App from Apple App Store or Google Play. More information is available at www.raiffeisen.ch/phototan
To experience the CrontoSign technology first-hand, please download the CrontoSign mobile app for your iOS or Android device and try it with the demo account at www.crontosign.com.
Cronto Limited is a leading provider of secure visual transaction authentication solutions for online banking, based upon Visual Signing Technology born out of leading edge engineering research undertaken at the University of Cambridge. For more information, visit www.cronto.com.

Tourist Receives 15-Week Sentence In NZ
German tourist jailed in New Zealand for smuggling lizards
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A German tourist was sentenced to jail time Wednesday after he admitted trying to smuggle native New Zealand lizards out of the country — the second such case in five weeks.
Manfred Walter Bachmann, 55, was also ordered to be deported at the end of his 15-week sentence.
Bachmann, an engineer who is originally from Uganda, was caught with 13 adult lizards and three young reptiles in the southern city of Christchurch on Feb. 16 by Conservation Department inspectors.
The District Court in Christchurch was told nine of the 11 females were pregnant and expected to give birth to one or two young in the next few weeks. The reptiles had a value of 192,000 New Zealand dollars ($134,000) on the European market.
Prosecutor Mike Bodie said Bachmann had acted with two other tourists to try to smuggle the protected lizards out of New Zealand.
The court heard that Gustavo Eduardo Toledo-Albarran, 28, a chef from Carranza, Mexico, gathered the 16 lizards from South Island's Otago Peninsula.
He then drove back to Christchurch with Thomas Benjamin Price, 31, of Gallen, Switzerland, described by prosecutor Bodie as the prime mover in the venture. Price was listed on court documents as both a stockbroker and unemployed.
In Christchurch, Price met Bachmann and gave him sealed plastic tubes containing the reptiles. The three men were arrested soon after.
Price admitted possessing the lizards and Toledo-Albarran admitted illegally hunting them. They were ordered into police custody Wednesday until March 29 and warned they faced prison terms.
Bachmann's lawyer, Glenn Henderson, described his client as "a courier — a bit of a dupe in the middle."
But Judge Jane Farish rejected the claims.
"I don't buy into what he's said about being naive or being a dupe," she said. "This was clearly premeditated offending. Given his age and his traveling, he's not that naive."
Another German national, Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, was caught at Christchurch International Airport late last year with 44 small lizards stuffed into his underwear as he tried to board a flight.
In late January, Kubus was sentenced to 14 weeks behind bars and ordered to pay a 5,000 New Zealand dollar ($3,540) fine. He will be deported to Germany at the end of his prison term.

In a game in which he did not allow many baserunners, Joe Biagini said he was most satisfied with the way he pitched out of the stretch.
The Giants prospect gave up one hit and two walks while striking out two over seven innings Friday night as Class A Augusta routed Savannah, 11-0.
Biagini (2-0) gave up a leadoff single in the top of the first to Yucary De La Cruz and hit Eudy Pina with a pitch. After fanning Maikis De La Cruz, he walked Kevin Plawecki to load the bases. And at that point, things did not look good for a pitcher who entered the game with a 6.38 ERA.
But Biagini (2-0) came back to retire the next two batters on line drives.
"The first inning, I was in the stretch and it was a battle to stay over myself and stay in a position to compete," he said. "It felt good to be getting into a groove, I haven't experienced that much. After the first, the innings started going quickly."
The right-hander, who turns 23 on May 29, walked Jeff Reynolds with one out in the second, then retired the next 16 batters before turning things over to the GreenJackets bullpen.
Biagini has struggled with runners on base, allowing South Atlantic League foes to hit .340 in those situations. With no on one, that number drops precipitously to .141.
"They just want me to stay over myself mechanically," Biagini said. "Sometimes I go off to the side a little bit and don't keep my shoulder in. It's not a huge deal, it's making sure that I'm going toward the plate and everything is consistent as I release the ball."
In his previous three starts, the 2012 26th-round Draft pick had allowed 11 earned runs on 13 hits over 8 1/3 innings. The biggest difference on Friday, Biagini said, was his work with runners on base -- even if there weren't that many of them.
"I think honestly it was more of the stretch," he explained. "I believe that my windup has been pretty effective. Half of my innings, I've noticed, there haven't been a lot of runners on base, which is nice. When I was getting into the stretch, I was getting into trouble. My struggles this season have been consistency from the stretch. If that happens and my stretch is not effective, it turns into a big inning.
"As I've learned over the years, you make your most important pitches out of the stretch. It hasn't been terrible, but it would be nice to improve my consistency and I believe that I'm going in the right direction. It's always nice not to have to go the stretch."
Biagini has plenty of ties to the Giants. His father, Robert, pitched in the organization in 1981-82, getting as far as Class A Advanced Fresno. And as a kid in Santa Clara, Calif., he was a fan.
"I grew up being a Giants fan my whole life," Biagini said. "I watched Jeff Kent and [Barry] Bonds and Rich Aurilia and Jason Schmidt and all those guys. I was really happy, my family was happy with the Giants, more or less staying local. To get the chance to play for the team I rooted for as a kid is amazing. God has blessed me with the chance to do that."
Ian Gardeck tossed a hitless eighth and Stephen Johnson struck out one and walked one in the ninth to close out Augusta's fourth shutout of the season.
Offensively, Mitchell Delfino slugged a grand slam and Ben Turner went 3-for-4 with three doubles and two RBIs for the first-place GreenJackets.

The chart is broken like a Trump campaign. Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.
Portfoliomangler used to brag that this stock always bounces back immediately from a sell-off down to $1.75, because it was "cheap" at $1.75. So why not $1.35? Huh? Huh?
A lot of pain happening here. See you under $1.00 soon. Hold on to those round-trip tickets!
Don't panic! Walk, don't run to the nearest exit. The fire department is on the way. LOL!
Nice try. Better luck next time.
The fermentation is almost complete. This thing is ready to bottle and sell. If it closes below $1.39 today, the longs better be wearing diapers tomorrow. Don't eat the SCOBY!
Just found out that XingTea had 0% growth over the FIVE YEAR period between 2010 - 2015. So this brand is going nowhere, and may actually be in decline. Now we know why New Age sold for cheap:
From Bevnet dot com, Nov. 3, 2011:
"... Xing showed about $14 million in sales last year (2010), as per data from Symphony/IRI, which does not include many smaller, "up and down the street" accounts and Wal-Mart"
From Bevnet dot com, May 23, 2016:
"...Xing is sold in 40 states and internationally, with retail information firm IRI showing sales of close to $14 million in the 52-week period ending Jan. 24, 2016."
30% annual growth over five years is not bad.
The Denver Post
by Jason Blevins
January 2, 2015
"Aspen Pure has been bottling water from an aquifer beneath the San Luis Valley in Alamosa for 12 years. The company's 15 Alamosa employees also bottle for private labels, which make up the largest segment of the bottled water market.
Aspen Pure, which is owned by New Age Beverage, has logged 30 percent annual growth for the past five years, vice president of sales Rob Curtis said.
The key to battling Nestle's Pure Life and Arrowhead, PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's Dasani is to find a niche, Curtis said. Aspen Pure's bottle is larger — 24 ounces — and fits in a bike's water bottle cage and car cupholders. Aspen Pure water is sold at Denver International Airport and at Whole Foods stores in Colorado and neighboring states.
"It's always a struggle to work against those guys with the deep, deep pockets. We try to keep a local appeal," Curtis said. "It's a growing, competitive market. It seems like these days, everyone wants to start a bottled water company. You see people pop up, and they are gone in a year."
They have to wait until after the deal closes to announce the secondary offering, so they can maintain the artificially inflated stock price and get the highest possible VWAP. That was the purpose of the LD Micro dog & pony show - to keep the stock inflated up till the time the deal closes. After that, they drop the hammer. That's how OTC stocks work.
"...You were either dropped on your head at birth or are attempting to pry shares out of the hands of good people for yourself"
So stop whining and do something about it. Fight facts with facts! Instead of using Brent Willis' own biased LinkedIn page as fodder, try using valuetime's method of quoting archives from the New York Times or some other reputable journal. Don't you even know how to defend yourself, or are you just going to sit there and watch him take this stock down? You are pathetic.
BTW, having all that extra sugar extends the life of the live colonies inside the bottle for a longer shelf life. It makes for good business sense in one respect, but they sacrifice good will with the customer by diluting the traditional health benefits of Kombucha with excess sugar. And everybody knows that a long shelf life means "less healthy". Vegans are well aware of this.
Lol, they just add extra sugar during the fermentation process and call it "proprietary". Any Kombucha maker could do it if they didn't want to scare away their health-conscious base of customers.
"...You haven't tasted Bucha."
Ask me any question about the small print on the bottle that you wouldn't be able to see on the Internet, I can prove I have them. I still have 4 unopened bottles in the fridge. You shouldn't lie about me so much.
By increasing sugar content by six fold, Bucha loses the built-in base of healthy Kombucha drinkers. But if they lower their sugar content to be in line with regular Kombucha, they lose the ability to mask the vinegar taste, and forfeit any potential soda converts.
"...Doesn't taste as good as regular soda ? Huh ?"
Does it taste 3x better than regular soda? Because that's what it costs.
"...You obviously haven't tasted Bucha..."
Yes I have. I posted my review in a previous message last week. Tastes like wine cooler. I prefer soda. Or regular iced tea - which Bucha does not taste like. As I said in my previous review, maybe they should put this stuff in the wine cooler aisle. At least that would make sense. What they are doing now is trying to sell a wine cooler flavored product in the expensive refrigerated healthy section to people who are accustomed to liking inexpensive sugary drinks. That makes no sense whatsoever.
First of all, it doesn't matter if Bucha has the best tasting Kombucha on the shelves if customers don't buy it. I don't even think Bucha's target customer is the traditional Kombucha drinker. There is WAY too much sugar in each serving for Bucha to be healthy. That is to say, 6x the amount of the leading brand (GT's), and the largest amount of sugar out of all kombucha's on the market. Forget health-conscious consumers. The real target consumer for Bucha is soda pop drinkers. But how do you convert soda drinkers to Bucha - a product that doesn't taste as good as regular soda, that still has too much sugar, and yet costs 3x more than a regular soda pop? That is an uphill battle my friend. They can stuff the channel all they want to make it look like consumer demand is strong, but that will only last so long.
This stock is all about XingTea and Aspen Water now. Bucha will likely not catch on with the consumer. However, if it's true that Xing and Aspen really do $50 million in annual sales, then Bucha's $3 million in annual sales doesn't amount to a hill of beans either way. Without XingTea and Aspen, this is a 30 cent stock, and the market well understood that. It was trading in the $0.30's before Willis stole Xing out from under the original owners. It probably doesn't matter much if Bucha fails, but if Xing stumbles under Willis, then watch out below.
I already told you. GAAP EPS will be negative every quarter. And the more Bucha bottles they sell, the more they will lose on the bottom line. Soon, the market will figure it out.
You do realize that most of the good news is already priced into the stock, don't you? You think the stock will pop after the deal closes? Why do you think that? Does the market not expect the deal to close? I doubt it. It's already priced in. I had to teach this lesson to portfoliomangler in regard to the LD Micro presentation. He thought the stock would rocket above $2.00 after the conference, but the reality was that the good news about the acquisition was already priced in, and the stock sold off on the news. Similarly, the stock will likely sell off on the news when the acquisition officially closes, it's simple market mechanics. Buy the rumor, sell the news.
Oh, I see you bought a round-trip ticket. How exciting!

CHICAGO, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include the EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG-Free Report), Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM-Free Report), Volkswagen AG (OTC:VLKAY-Free Report), Tata Motors Ltd (NYSE:TTM-Free Report) andDaimler AG (OTC:DDAIF-Free Report).
Today, Zacks is promoting its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Get #1Stock of the Day pick for free.
Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
"Springtime for Putin"
The crisis in Ukraine and the confrontation with Russia will not automatically bring new U.S. Liquified Natural Gas, 'LNG,' projects through approval, development and commercialization, even in the medium term, let alone substantial, lucrative exports to Western, Black Sea and Baltic LNG import terminals. Nor is such gas entirely available, although politicians, and producers, on both sides of the Atlantic wish it were already so.
Fortunately, many of those import terminals already exist, and could be expanded to accommodate more imports from abroad: Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, along with (eventually) North America. There is also enough North American supply to send overseas at a profit at the current price differential.
The probability, and the opportunity of more U.S. LNG plants being constructed have certainly increased. The good thing is that there is abundant North American shale and coal bed gas, several pipelines to the Atlantic coast, and many motivated companies with capital eager to fund such projects. However, political support has been lukewarm, particularly in New York State, Quebec and in Washington, DC, but the geopolitical situation could change minds and attitudes, or at least reduce some of the obstacles. Ottawa and Mexico City are entirely onside.
The main beneficiaries continue to be the best shale operators, such as EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG-Free Report), among others.
We're Moving at a Faster Pace
It takes a year or more to get environmental and other approvals, and another two to three years and billions of dollars to construct new LNG liquifaction plants and export terminals. Some players have been burned in the past, and there is no assurance to them that these projects will be as lucrative as they appear on paper. However, nearly twenty of them are already mooted for the U.S. East coast.
Thus far, Canadian action on the Atlantic side has been muted, but two oil pipeline projects with high chances of approval and actual construction are in the works. None of these plans nor the U.S. gas plants, will be fully realized before 2018, at the earliest, so, in the short term, the EU, and the Ukrainians, will be mostly on their own. Nevertheless, as indicated earlier, they are not without options, or bargaining power and resources of their own.
3 Foreign Auto Stocks Ready to Burn Rubber
The surge in auto sales in 2013 and an optimistic outlook for 2014 have put the automobile sector in focus. Global auto sales hit a record high of 82.8 million units in 2013, per the data provided by IHS Automotive.
While most automobile manufacturers were hit hard by the recession, the resultant pent-up demand is working in their favor now that employment rates are improving and consumers have recovered from the impact of the recession.
A plunge in car sales in the years following the recession have led to an all-time high average age of vehicles on U.S. roads of 11.4 years. This is resulting in significant replacement demand. Moreover, with the recovery of global markets, sales in other nations are also improving.
Asian countries, especially China and India, are recording impressive sales growth and are expected to account for a large part of the growth in the auto industry over the next 5 to 7 years. Even the European automobile market is beginning to show improvement.
Globally, 2 of the 3 largest selling automakers in 2013 were non-U.S. companies – Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM-Free Report) and Volkswagen AG (OTC:VLKAY-Free Report). Moreover, the Auto-Foreign industry has a Zacks Industry Rank of #13 at present, which translates into a Positive outlook. Meanwhile, the Auto-Domestic industry has a Zacks Industry Rank of #99, which refers to a Neutral outlook. Thus, it would be a good idea to invest in some foreign auto stocks that are performing well.
Here are three automakers based outside the U.S. that are looking good at the moment:
Japan-based Toyota is the leading automaker in the world in terms of sales and production. Its product portfolio consists of a full range of models from passenger cars and minivans to trucks as well as related parts and accessories.
Toyota is currently trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.7x, which is significantly lower than the industry average of 15.6x. It has a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.1x, which is at a discount to the industry average of 2.9x. Even the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 0.8x is lower than the industry average of 2.5x.
This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock is expected to report a 55.5% year-over-year growth in earnings per share (EPS) in the fiscal year ended Mar 2014.
Tata Motors Ltd (NYSE:TTM-Free Report) is the largest automobile company in India. It is also the fifth largest truck manufacturer and the fourth largest bus manufacturer in the world.
Tata Motors also has a P/E ratio of 8.5x, which offers a significant discount on the industry average of 15.6x. Its P/B of 2.6x is marginally lower than the industry average of 2.9x. It has a P/S of 0.6x, also below the industry average of 2.5x.
Tata Motors reported a positive earnings surprise in three of the trailing four quarters, with an average beat of 22.68%. This Zacks Rank #1 stock is expected to report 26.6% year-over-year growth in EPS in the fiscal year ended Mar 2014.
Germany-based Daimler AG (OTC:DDAIF-Free Report) manufactures and sells passenger cars, trucks, vans, buses, and related spare parts and accessories. This Zacks Rank #1 stock owns the premium vehicle brand Mercedes-Benz.
Daimler has a P/E ratio of 11.1x, significantly below the 15.6x industry average. Its P/B and P/S of 1.6x and 0.6x, respectively, are also substantially lower than the respective industry averages.
Daimler is expected to report a 16.9% year-on-year surge in EPS in 2014.
Bottom Line
Global automobile sales are expected to rise to 85 million units in 2014, according to IHS Automotive. Even the 100 million unit milestone is not far and is expected to be reached in 2018.
Rising sales should translate into higher gains for auto stocks. Thus, adding some automobile stocks with strong fundamentals and growing earnings to the portfolio might prove to be beneficial for investors.

Carolyn Kaster, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Scientists revealed Wednesday that they have found the first solid archaeological evidence that some of the earliest American colonists at Jamestown, Va., survived harsh conditions by turning to cannibalism.
For years, there have been tales of people in the first permanent English settlement in America eating dogs, cats, rats, mice, snakes and shoe leather to stave off starvation. There were also written accounts of settlers eating their own dead, but archaeologists had been skeptical of those stories.
But now, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and archaeologists from Jamestown are announcing the discovery of the bones of a 14-year-old girl that show clear signs that she was cannibalized. Evidence indicates clumsy chops to the body and head of the girl, who appears to have already been dead at the time.
Smithsonian forensic anthropologist Douglas Owsley said the human remains date back to a deadly winter known as the "starving time" in Jamestown from 1609 to 1610. Hundreds died during the period. Scientists have said the settlers likely arrived during the worst drought in 800 years, bringing severe food shortages for the 6,000 people who lived at Jamestown between 1607 and 1625.
The historical record is chilling. Early Jamestown colony leader George Percy wrote of a "world of miseries," that included digging up corpses from their graves to eat when there was nothing else. "Nothing was spared to maintain life," he wrote.
In one case, a man killed, "salted," and began eating his pregnant wife. Both Percy and Capt. John Smith, the colony's most famous leader, documented the account in their writings. The man was later executed.
"One amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it was known, for which he was executed, as he well deserved," Smith wrote. "Now whether she was better roasted, boiled or carbonado'd (barbecued), I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife I never heard of."
Archaeologists at Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia were somewhat skeptical of the stories of cannibalism in the past because there was no solid proof, until now.
"Historians have questioned, well did it happen or not happen?" Owsley said. "And this is very convincing evidence that it did."
Owsley has been working with William Kelso, the chief archaeologist at Jamestown, since their first burial discovery in 1996.
The remains of the 14-year-old girl, named "Jane" by researchers, were discovered in the summer of 2012 and mark the fourth set of human remains uncovered at Jamestown outside of graves. Her remains were found in a cellar at the site that had been filled with trash, including bones of horses and other animals consumed in desperation, according to archaeologists.
The discovery detracts from the happier mythology of John Smith and Pocahontas that many associate with Jamestown. The vice president of research at nearby Colonial Williamsburg, which oversees excavations of the original Jamestown site, said visitors will have a fuller view of a terrible time in early American history.
"I think we are better served by understanding history, warts and all, because I think it gives us a better understanding of who we are as a people," James Horn said.
Owsley, who has also done forensic analysis for police investigations, examined the girl's remains and how the body had been dismembered, including chops to the front and back of the head. The girl was likely already dead at the time. There was a cultural stigma against killing someone for food.
But it was clear to Owsley immediately that there were signs of cannibalism.
"This does represent a clear case of dismemberment of the body and removing of tissues for consumption," he said.

Fleming's Steakhouse - Memphis Ratings and Reviews

The food was great! I couldn't give it 5 stars simply because I asked for my steak well done and it was still red inside. The waiter sent it back and it came back correct. Our waiter Zack was absolutely amazing! He was very sweet and wasn't too pushy. Great experience overall and very romantic.
This was the first time that we were dis ...
This was the first time that we were disappointed with the food at Flemings. I had to send back my filet because it was overcooked. The second one was cooked perfectly, but did not have the flavor of past filets. My husband said the same about his and he felt like they gave him a 6 oz. instead of an 8oz.
Service was impeccable as always and they comped the lava cake due to having sent back the filet. However, the lava cake was disappointing this time too. usually it is gooey with flowing "lava" chocolate sauce. This time there was hardly any. Since it was comped, we said nothing!
It was a great experience, mainly becaus ...
It was a great experience, mainly because we had a very friendly waiter who kept us entertained. The appetizer (pork belly) was delicious and the famous potato specialty was great. The filet mignon we ordered were also good but nothing spectacular. Check In the box...done...but we probably won't be back any time soon.
Wonderfully consistent
Fleming's is our go-to place when we want a substantial meal, great entree selections, a great wine list, fun desserts, valet parking, and when don't want to feel rushed. And each time we are not disappointed. There are a few restaurants around where we know we will get what we expect each time, and Fleming's is certainly one that is absolutely consistent. Some restaurants will frequently have an "off night," but we have never experienced such at Fleming's. The service is also absolutely consistent and impeccable. We will continue returning to Fleming's again and again.
Wife's Birthday Dinner
Everything about our evening was superb. The hostess was very friendly and acknowledged us by name and immediately seated us. Our waiter, Noah, professional, accommodating with a very light hearted personality. He was simply great. All the support staff was "the best". Highly professional.
The food......can't get any better......taste, quality, quantity, presentation.
Flemings' is bit pricey; but, in this case, we got what we paid for. For us, this is a special occasion place.
Fabulous prime rib!
Lured by the prime rib dinner for $29.95 (that's 3 courses, mind you!), my husband was really pleased that it was a perfect medium rare and scrumptiously fulfilled his red-meat yearning. I had the salmon and, while it was a tad spicier than I'm used to, it was cooked to perfection and was delicious.
The manager, Alan Long, introduced himself to us and saw to it that everything was going well. And our server, Michael, was just wonderful; we will request his services again on subsequent visits. Yes, we will be back.
I was not impressed with my first time d ...
I was not impressed with my first time dining at Fleming's Steakhouse. Everything was average, but with prices that reflected something much more upscale and higher quality. It was not busy, but the server (who did not do a bad job) could have checked on us a time or two more and kept our glasses full. The filet mignon was over $40 for eight ounces, which would be fine if it had been exceptional or had come with a side. However, the filet mignon was not particularly tender or flavorful and the potatoes we ordered reminded me of the scalloped potatoes my mom used to make right out of the Betty Crocker box. The bill, for two people with two filet mignons was and two sides (no appetizers, drinks, or desserts) was $120. All in all, had the bill been half the price I would have been satisfied, but it was too pricey for only being subpar food.
Fantastic romantic birthday dinner!
Incredible, professional service! Never pushy and always informed on every aspect of the menu, all without looking at notes, a gripe with me sometimes. Yes, you may pay a bit more than at a comparable restaurant, but the service and attention make up for that, as well as the wonderful menu items.
I frequent Fleming's quite often in Memp ...
I frequent Fleming's quite often in Memphis and usually have a near flawless experience, but this experience for Valentine's Day dinner was not the norm. The service and pacing of the meals was off with my salad coming and having to ask our waiter (Noah who is highly recommended) about the other salad in my party (blamed it on a kitchen printer paper problem). Next, the filets were tough on this night and not near the quality as generally experienced. Also, I explicitly asked for the molten cake dessert to be delivered as dinner was ending due to the length of time it takes to prepare. We had to wait over 20 minutes after finishing dinner for them to arrive (once again, waiter stated that another waiter "stole" our desserts for another table). Lastly, no management ever passed table to ask how dinner was at any point in the meal. All in all, I enjoy this restaurant and will return, but the experience on this particular night was not up to the usual standard.

Herbalists usually engage in wildcrafting or cultivation of herbs, as well as diagnosis and treatment of conditions or dispensing herbal medication. Most herbal traditions depend upon constitutional analysis of the client, treating the patient instead of the disease. This book goes a bit further and explains the various occult applications of various herbs. The herbs are listed in alphabetical order along with their occult uses and remedies they claim to fix. It is important to keep in mind that personal beliefs (without wavering and doubt) in remedies and uses of these herbs are of utmost importance of the benefits gained from this book. In essence what you believe IT IS.
