In "Titles & Metas" I have an option for events, but I can't figure out how to get the page title of the calendar page to be "upcoming events", which is the slug.
WordPress SEO wants to use the first event of the month as "%%title%%", and using "%%page%%" results in a blank. It seems to me that there should be a variable for slug but I can't find one.
Ideally the calendar should be "upcoming events [%%sep%%] site name" like the rest of the pages on the site.

If Claude Bébéar Speaks, French Companies Listen
By JOHN TAGLIABUE
Published: November 18, 2003
PARIS, Nov. 14— When outraged shareholders ousted the chairman of the big French chemical company Rhodia last month, accusing him of gross mismanagement, the spotlight focused on a man seen as being behind the shake-up, a man with no official role at the company but with a great deal of influence in French business.
That man is Claude Bébéar, the 68-year-old chairman of the AXA insurance group, who is described alternately as one of France's foremost champions of good corporate governance or as a sinister ''godfather'' of old-style crony capitalism. As is often the case with companies in the news here, most of Rhodia's management and most executives at its principal shareholder, the drug company Aventis, are associates of his.
Mr. Bébéar (pronounced bay-bay-ARE) admits to playing some role in the Rhodia shake-up: last spring, the head of a shareholders' association asked him to convey a message to the chairman, Jean-Pierre Tirouflet, and he agreed to do so. Yet he vigorously denies any pivotal role.
With equal force he rejects the title of godfather. ''When a godfather of the mafia speaks,'' he said, punctuating a recent conversation with a characteristic hearty laugh, ''you follow his counsels.''
(Though no one is saying exactly what the message was, speculation is that Mr. Bébéar was to ask Mr. Tirouflet to leave peaceably. Five months later, Mr. Tirouflet was out.)
In fact, Mr. Bébéar's career illustrates both a penchant for cronyism and a bent for breaking with traditions of French corporate coziness. However it is seen, he has great, often behind-the-scenes, power.
Mr. Bébéar, who entertains visitors in his spacious office in the painstakingly restored 17th-century Parisian palace that is his company's headquarters, ran AXA for decades, molding it from a small, regional insurance company into a financial giant. That has given him influence in French business. Though he gave up his chief executive post three years ago, he remains AXA's chairman.
As a young executive, he founded a discussion club, Enterprises et Cité, that now includes a sampling of the French business elite. Among them are Henri Lachmann, chairman of the big Schneider electrical products group; the chairman of Vivendi Universal, Jean-René Fourtou; and Thierry Breton, the France Télécom chairman. The network extends beyond finance to politics, and includes the president of the French Senate, Christian Poncelet. That gave Mr. Bébéar an edge in nudging the French banking system toward greater consolidation in the late 1990's.
Mr. Bébéar was also largely responsible for AXA's -- and French finance's -- expansion overseas. In 1991, he stormed the United States with a $1 billion investment in the Equitable Life Assurance group, a business he later turned into an AXA unit. That gave him credibility in international finance and helped him install Mr. Fourtou last year as Vivendi's chairman, to replace Jean-Marie Messier, who was ousted after Vivendi was crushed by debt from an acquisition spree that involved big American deals.
To his detractors, Mr. Bébéar is a corporate puppeteer in the spirit of Ambroise Roux, who was chairman of Compagnie Générale d'Électricité and a giant of French industry in the 1980's.
Mr. Bébéar, however, casts himself as a kind of Gallic Warren E. Buffett, committed not to capitalism's overthrow but to its improvement.
He supports the current drive to improve corporate governance in France, including legislation enacted last year that limits the number of boards that a corporate director can serve on and mandates board committees for auditing and executive pay, to increase corporate accountability. But he warns, ''Don't fall into the excess of regulation.''
Mr. Bébéar's belief in strong rules for capitalism has long been coupled with a strong sense of opportunity.
After graduating from the prestigious École Polytechnique, he went to work at a sleepy insurance company in Normandy. That company was the core for the group that would later be named AXA, built by picking up acquisitions at advantageous moments.
His 1996 acquisition of the Union des Assurances de Paris, or UAP, the big French insurer that successive governments had used to park stakes in privatized companies considered of national interest, gave an important impetus to the dismantling of the cross-shareholdings that characterized French capitalism. At the time, French corporations regularly owned shares in each other and sent executives onto one another's boards -- cozy relationships that were until recently still reflected at Rhodia. But Mr. Bébéar sold the stock that UAP owned in big corporations like Suez, the water utility, and ordered AXA executives, himself included, to adhere to strict limits on the number of board seats they accept.
''A board membership should cost you a month of work a year,'' Mr. Bébéar said. ''A chief executive doesn't have one month to sacrifice.''

When it comes to HPV vaccination, females are only half the story. Males can get vaccinated too. Like other vaccines, GARDASIL works to help prevent illness. GARDASIL helps prevent HPV-related cancer and diseases caused by HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18. The time to vaccinate is before there is any exposure to these HPV types.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine vaccination with GARDASIL for boys and girls ages 11 or 12. The CDC also recommends vaccination for young women ages 13 through 26 and young men ages 13 through 21 who have not already been vaccinated. The CDC states that GARDASIL can be given to young men ages 22 through 26, if they and their doctor decide it's right for them.
Additional organizations that support the CDC recommendations for HPV vaccination:
*ACS and ACOG support is specific to females
It's not too early. You have the chance to help protect your child before he or she is exposed to HPV.
Learn more about it before your child's next doctor's appointment.Get started >
GARDASIL is a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, 70% of vaginal cancer cases, and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases. In males and females ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against about 80% of anal cancer cases and 90% of genital warts cases.
GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it's important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.
Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.
The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child's health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child's health care professional.
Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please read the Patient Information for GARDASIL® [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] and discuss it with your child's doctor. The physician Prescribing Information also is available.

Fast Algorithm to Quickly Find the Range a Number Belongs to in a Set of Ranges?
Given a list of range of numbers that are non-overlapping and sorted (rangeList), and a number, write an efficient algorithm to find first whether this number exists in (some range in) rangeList and if it does exist, return the correct range.
For example rangeList = [(-1, 200), (300, 2000), (2011, 2300)]
Query 1: 1000 -> (True, (300, 2000) ) since 1000 lies between 300 and 2000.
Query 2: 250 -> (False, (None, None) ) since no 250 does not exist in any range in the list.
The best algorithm I have come up with is log N using binary search. This feels like a very common problem especially for Longitude/Latitude based searches. Any ideas to make this better than log N?

Facilitated Disaster Planning
The two biggest obstacles to creating a disaster plan faced by cultural organizations are the need for more information and manpower.
CERC was there to help in 2014-15, by implementing a one-year program to facilitate disaster planning at cultural organizations all over Maine. A team of trained facilitators drawn from FEMA Corps worked directly with 26 cultural institutions, representing a broad range of museums, libraries, and archives, to help them develop a plan appropriate for their specific circumstances. A short extension of the project allowed 4 more institutions to work with contract facilitators to create disaster plans in the spring of 2016.
This project was possible in large part because of a grant to the Maine State Museum from Jane's Trust.
Would you be interested in getting a a grant to hire a facilitator to work your organization through the disaster planning process outlined on the CERC web site? The National Endowment for the Humanities is especially interested in seeing disaster planning projects for its Preservation Assistance for Smaller Institutions grant program – the deadline is May 3, 2016. Contact CERC if you would like help pulling a grant proposal together!
How it worked:
- There were two rounds of facilitated planning – one in the fall, from September – December, and one in the spring, from March – May. Organizations had to apply to participate.
- Participant organizations were selected to represent a broad range of institutional sizes, geographical locations, collections types, and building construction. However, the most important qualification was the organization's demonstration that all the stakeholders (whether paid or volunteer staff, board members, or other governing authority members) were committed to devoting the time and resources to completing a disaster plan.
- CERC worked with participants to determine the appropriate benchmarks for the organization to achieve, based on the benchmarks identified in the Essential, Enhanced and Advanced levels of disaster planning on the CERC web site. CERC scheduled 4-11 meetings with the organization to achieve the benchmarks (the number of meetings being dependent on the benchmarks to be achieved) and "homework" was assigned to the organization between each meeting. This process required the participation of several stakeholders from within the organization – an effective disaster plan can not be the work of only one or two people.
- Facilitators ran each meeting, took notes, then compiled the results into a final disaster plan for the organization. Where appropriate, the facilitators may also help make connections to local first responders or other relevant contacts.
- In some cases, the organization's experience was turned into a case study, so that other similar organizations can get a sense of what some of the successful strategies and unexpected challenges in developing a disaster plan may be.
Is your organization ready to get planning? Take a look at (and use!) the meeting materials developed for this project under the Essential, Enhanced and Advanced disaster planning tabs.
Have questions? Please contact Ellen Dyer, CERC Coordinator, at email@example.com or (207) 287-6696.

That is the best spelling I could find, or come up with. I don't think it is correct, since I don't see it in the dictionary, and searching without the "victoria secret" prefix doesn't show the correct results.
I'm talking about the sexy clothing that woman wear. Like the stuff you can buy at Victoria's Secret.

Dick Harmon: BYU's football focus should stay on the here and now
"The Big 12 should be locking up Brigham Young and one other team right now. Assuming there's no chance of getting TCU to escape its trip to the Big East, Houston, SMU and others would happily jump their contracts to gain admission," wrote the Texan.
In the Oklahoman, veteran columnist Barry Tramel wrote last Monday it is time the Big 12 courted BYU. Under a headline that read: "Brigham Young might be what Big 12 needs," Tramel asserted: "BYU is a bonafide football school. Lavell Edwards Stadium seats 64,000, and the Cougars fill them. BYU has a national following, thanks to the Mormon Church, and even has its own network. BYUtv is on a bunch of cable systems (Cox included), which is more than you can say for the Longhorn Network.
"The Cougars also play good football. They beat the Sooners on a neutral field just two Septembers ago."
Tom Dienhart, the college football senior writer at Rivals.com, painted the Big 12 choices in case of expansion as few. He mentioned BYU first.
"BYU may be the only 'big' name the Big 12 would have a chance of luring. The Cougars begin play as an independent this fall in football. Perhaps BYU's biggest motivating factor for joining the Big 12 would be to find a better home for its other sports."
There are a myriad of other sportswriter types I could quote, but the point is made: BYU is a topic of discussion in Big 12 circles either formally or informally as this issue goes forward.
Some have suggested this A&M to the SEC deal is a car going 85 miles per hour in a 35 MPH zone and the SEC put a speed bump in the road.
But it wasn't a roadblock.
Meanwhile, BYU is poised to deliver its goal of independence: exposure. In a talk with BYUtv managing director Derek Marquis this week, he cited the comments of an ESPN executive on just how much coverage BYU football would receive this season.
"When Dave Brown was here from ESPN, he said he thought it was safe to say that BYU will have at least equal coverage and probably more coverage than any other team in college football this year," said Marquis. "Think about that statement. That is incredible; likely as much or more national coverage than any other team in college football. The other team he said that might be up there with BYU as far as national coverage goes is Notre Dame, interestingly another independent."
Not a bad gig for the present.
Once again, we have a very interesting August.

Retinis Pigmentosa is a genetically inherited eye disease that eventually leads to blindness. James "Bubba" Frigo was diagnosed almost two years ago, but before he lost his sight, he and his father decided to take a bike ride across the U.S. so James could see the country, while he still can.
The father-son duo started their journey in San Diego, and 3500 miles later, ended up in New York on "The Early Show" Friday morning to share with us the meaning of this month long trip.
Frigo recalled how the idea of a cross country tour had hatched.
"One day we were out riding across southern California on one of our regular fun rides, right after his diagnosis," said Frigo. "And he asked me, 'hey, dad, you know, could we ride across America?' I thought of the concept and I thought, man, can't we go to Vegas or something? He said, 'you know, dad, no one will ever remember us riding to Las Vegas but people will remember when I ride to New York, so how do you tell your children no?"
And so they began the ride. James currently is only suffering from night blindness, and with most of their rides taking place during the day, his disease barely got in his way.
While the disease is degenerative, James is hopeful that he won't ever go completely blind.
"The foundation for fighting blindness has given me a lot of hope there will be treatment or a cure for my eye disease within my lifetime, so there is hope I won't be blind," said James.
The Frigos got to see some amazing things on their month long journey across America, from the Grand Canyon to the nation's capital.
"We got a private tour of the capital building," said James, excitedly. "It was awesome."
This adventure was not only a chance for father-son bonding, but it was a great way to generate awareness and raise money to find a cure.
"The Foundation for Fighting Blindness has done remarkable thing. Really the awareness we want to bring to the American people is that there are millions of people out there suffering with a lot of retinal diseases," said Frigo. "We know by doing this, this will bring a lot of national publicity to the foundation. And we're just grateful to have the opportunity to do it and enjoy this time together."
The two plan on going to Niagara Falls and Mount Rushmore after their stay in New York, and then headed home to California.
For more information about the fight to cure blindness, please visit the Race to Cure Blindness website.

Low-Wage America: Keeneland Race Course
Training, 'Hot Walking' and the Love of Horses in Kentucky
NPR's Noah Adams continues his road trip north along the I-75 freeway from Tennessee to Michigan — this time stopping in Lexington, Ky., to visit the training stables at Keeneland Race Course.
He talks with three workers at the track — James Graham, an exercise rider from Ireland; Carlos Goadiana, a groom from Texas; and Maria (who asked that NPR not use her last name) a "hot walker" from Mexico.
All three jobs are seven days a week, without holidays. But despite the rigors of the track and stables — the pre-dawn muster, the long hours, the sometimes back-breaking labor and risk of injury — each finds a degree of satisfaction in the tasks, because of a shared love of horses.

Studies of bird phenology can help elucidate the effects of climate change on wildlife species but observations over broad spatial scales are difficult without a network of observers. Recently, networks of citizen volunteers have begun to report first arrival dates for many migratory species. Potential benefits are substantial (e.g., understanding ecological processes at broad spatial and temporal scales) if known biases of citizen data reporting are identified and addressed. One potential source of bias in bird phenology studies is the tendency for more "first" migratory arrivals to be reported on weekends than on weekdays. We investigated weekend bias in data reporting for five common bird species in North America (Baltimore Oriole, Icterus galbula; Barn Swallow, Hirundo rustica; Chimney Swift, Chaetura pelagica; Purple Martin, Progne subis; and Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris), and assessed whether this bias affected mean arrival dates reported using data from historical (1880–1969; N = 25,555) and recent (1997–2010; N = 63,149) Citizen Science databases. We found a greater percentage of first arrivals reported on weekends and small but significant differences in mean arrival dates (approximately 0.5 days) for four of five species. Comparing time periods, this weekend bias decreased from 33.7 % and five species in the historical time period to 32 % and three species in the recent, perhaps related to changes in human activity patterns. Our results indicate that weekend bias in citizen data reporting is decreasing over time in North America and including a 'day of week' term in models examining changes in phenology could help make conclusions more robust.

4.5 stars 6 totalReview Gary Christmas
Posted by William McCauley
Gary Christmas is all about doing the very best for his clients. He works your case to the maximum. He puts every effort possible to make you understand all the unforeseen questions you wouldn't have the knowledge of knowing. He treats you as if you were part of his family. We were lucky to have known someone who recommends him to us. He made us at ease everytime we felt concerned about certain issues
Posted by Bryan
I would recommend Gary Christmas. He is an Attorney who doesn't seem like your stereotyplcal lawyer. He was sincere and handled my case with the highest degree of professionalism. His staff was very nice each time I had a question, ( and I had alot of them). Gary fought for me and obtained a great outcome, in both cases, (the settlement and Social Sercurity). I would hire hime again if needed.
Posted by Rob
Hired Mr. Christmas for my Workers Compensation claim. He was okay when it looked like it was going to be a straight forward claim. Although I made him very aware of serious concerns at my consultation. Once things got a lot more complicated I was very aware that he did not listen to half of what I said. When he would return a call he asked the same questions over and over. I had not had any treatment for my injury but he repeatedly inquired about how my recovery was going. He thought I was being paid, I was not. He missed planned phone calls. Due to his lack of listening during our calls or meetings he would insist I was "changing my story ". I had black and white proof that I was being 100% honest. He had no faith in our ability to win at a hearing. I then realized he was not the lawyer I wanted fighting for me because he did not know my case well enough to fight for me. I informed him of my concerns over the lack of him knowing the simple facts of my case, the missing of meetings and calls and informed him I was unhappy with his servixe . He was not happy about this and he said he felt we had a personality conflict and should end our relationship. I was more than happy to do so. When I complained it was the fastest he ever returned a phone call and he was not even in the office that day. It set my case back several months but it was well worth it. I hired a lawyer that I was very pleased with. My case was difficult but with the proof I had it was easily won once we got to the hearing level. Mr. Christmas you should listen to your clients, and you do not need to act like you are superior to others. It is unbecoming and it makes you look like a snob. Lesson learned , do not pick the law firm just because you know the name from TV not always a great move. I will research if the need to hire another law firm comes up.
Posted by Henry
I am so thankful that I hired Gary as my lawyer. Him and his team has been there for me and my family. If I have a question, they've found me an answer. Other people complain that their lawyer doesn't speak with them, but any time I needed to speak with Gary, it was arranged. I was always in the loop and never felt left out. Gary is just a great guy.
Posted by Kimm
I have never been involved in a law suit before and am completely ignorant when it comes to doing so. Mr. Christmas and his staff have been extremely helpful and have explained everything in a language that I understand. There was no "legal" talk and made it so much easier for me. They have also kept me informed immediately upon any changes or notifications. I highly recommend Mr. Christmas and his staff to everyone!

250 Mathis Ferry; Suite 102
Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is William Blanton Buford. I am writing this letter in appreciation, thanks, and as a reference for Gary Christmas and his law firm.
In early 2010, I was severely injured in a fall at work that required major surgery, physical therapy, and 14 months of recovery time. Prior to this event I did not have the most favorable opinion of attorneys in general. Gary changed that. Not only did Gary meet my expectations but exceeded them on every level. Throughout my recovery the staff at Howell & Christmas were always compassionate and sympathetic towards my concerns and needs. I will point out that this case was a team effort on their part in order to handle the complexities of the SC workman compensation laws and system.
I would like to give a special thanks to Jenna. She was my first point of contact and always listened when I was frustrated and then very proactive on issues as they arose. She never failed to do what she said she would do and when she would do it.
I hope that I never suffer an injury again but would not hesitate to contact Howell & Christmas to represent me if such occurred.
In summery, I would recommend the Howell & Christmas law firm to anyone with an injury based need for legal representation.
Very Sincerely,
William Blanton Buford

Rated 4 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by OLEO Great shooter after tighting all the base and scope mounts I have the GAMO 22 Cal Whisper with the 3x9 scope, first time i shot it was all over, then I checked and retightened all the base and scope mounts.and using the lead pellets it shoots nickle groups at 35 feet and 50 cent groups or tighter at 35 to 40 yards. sighted on at 40 yrds it is 3 inches high at the 35 foot range, but the change in the crosshair size allows for dead on holds .Ya can pop moles and starlings with no problen with the help of a bench type hold on a towel or sand bag. the crossma Premier 14.3 hp all lead hunting pellet is what works best for me. 500 pellets at walmart for about $6. is is quiet as the sub sonic 22 rl. January 24, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by exjack27 has it where it counts The rifle shoots well. Most reviews condemn the scope- and yes, not the highest quality- however the scope is not your primary reason for this rifle and can be replaced. For the price- a great purchase. January 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Spike Great gun bad scope I have the .177 version of this rifle. I love the rifle the trigger pull is good and didn't need to adjust it. I love the way it feels. The scope however is garbage. I have really tight groups, but getting those groups close to the bullseye took a lot of guess work. I can visibly see the crosshairs moving when looking through the scope it is that bad. I think for the money I would get a different Gamo rifle that's cheaper and use the money that I saved to buy a better scope to put on it. January 18, 2014

AbstractIt is desirable to develop a high-efficiency lighting source for large-area irradiation of space-based crops. The key requirements for such a system include high efficiency, light weight, easy and rapid deployment, compact storage, ruggedness, and low cost. Furthermore, in order to maximize the rate of photosynthesis, it is desirable that the light source deliver an emission spectrum that matches the absorbance spectrum of chlorophyll as closely as possible while minimizing the effects of emission outside of the visible spectrum. To address these demanding requirements and overcome the limitations of alternative technologies, we propose to develop a large-area, high-efficiency, flexible sheet light source using microdischarge arrays using the combined talents of Anvik Corporation and a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, led by Prof. J. Gary Eden. The development of a new technology to enable the fabrication of large-area, high-density microdischarge arrays on flexible substrates, possibly powered by solar cells, will enable dramatic advances in the portability, ruggedness, efficiency, and light quality of light sources for space-based crop irradiation and a wide variety of commercial applications, including LCD backlighting, large-area UV-curing, decorative lighting, photodynamic therapy, and germicidal applications.

Released: Aug 01st, 1993
Running Time: 80
Company: Jocks Studios
Cast: Taylor Ray, Daemon Kelly, Brad Eriksen, Rob Lynn, Kip Harting, Jason Andrews (I), Eric Evans
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Assembled here is a seemingly young, but extremely impressive cast of guys who bring to the screen true passion and tenderness, while sexually pleasing each other in some rather intimately romantic settings (such as nestled along the beach and woods). Daemon Kelly, with bedroom eyes, shines bright as he renders a stellar performance with Taylor Ray on the beach and later with Rob Lynn in the woods. Both Taylor and Rob light up the screen with their sensuous and warm smiles. All the outdoor camera work is atop rate, as is the editing and sound. It's rather refreshing to see guys who enjoy making love and not just sex.

Automate the world!
I've been in the IT field going on 20 years now. Ever since learning how to work with DOS Batch files, the idea of automating tasks in every aspect possible became a passion for me. Taking mundane, tedious, error-prone tasks and automating them down to just a single-step procedure is a rush...Why pay 3 people overtime to manually shutdown 300 computers on a floor when you could just write a simple script file that takes 1 person all of 3 seconds to double-click on and do the same job?
This mindset has been with me throughout my IT career from its' beginnings as Desktop Support all the way through to working with thousands of computers in compute farms, to now where I work as a Perl Developer full-time doing automation!

FDA OKs new silicone-gel breast implant
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new silicone-gel breast implant, making Sientra of Santa Barbara the 3rd company in the nation to market the products.
The company says it plans to offer implants in various shapes in addition to the round implants now sold by Irvine-based Allergan and Johnson & Johnson's Mentor unit, also based in Santa Barbara.
Silicone breast implants have been controversial for many years, with critics concerned about devices leaking silicone or rupturing. Silicone implants were banned in 1992 but scientists reported they ruled out most potential health risks and silicone came back on the market in 2006.
Since then manufacturers have been required to track women who get the implants.
And last year, the director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health warned that follow-up visits and MRI scans are important for all women who receive the implants. The FDA also said most women who get the implants will have to replace them or undergo additional surgery in 8 to 10 years.
"Data on these [Sientra] and other approved silicone gel-filled breast implants continue to demonstrate a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness,'' William Maisel, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director for science in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in a news release today.
He added, ''It's important to remember that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Women should fully understand risks associated with breast implants before considering augmentation or reconstruction surgery, and recognize that long-term monitoring is essential.''
The FDA based its approval of the Sientra implants on three years of clinical data from nearly 1,800 participants. Complications reflected those found in previous studies of other breast implants, including tightening of the area around the implant, asymmetry and infection.
The FDA approval comes with conditions that Sientra must meet:
- Continue to follow the 1,788 clinical trial participants in their pre-market study for another 7 years
- Conduct a 10-year study of 4,782 women receiving Sientra silicone gel-filled breast implants to collect information on long-term complications and any possible diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and breast and lung cancer
- Conduct five case-control studies that will evaluate the association between Sientra's silicone gel-filled breast implants and rare diseases including brain cancer, cervical/vulvar cancer, and lymphoma.
Last year, plastic surgeons performed more than 307,000 breast augmentation procedures in the U.S., up nearly 4% from 2010, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
We're seeking reaction from plastic surgeons and breast oncologists.

Anyone new to anime should watch those then shows and it will be all downhill from there. Not to say those are definitely the best, but those are the shows someone new to anime would find easiest to watch and enjoy. Except Elfen Lied, that show can be depressing sometimes.

In the week since the release of the videotape and transcripts, President Clinton's words to the grand jury have been carefully detailed and analyzed by both the media and the public. Monica Lewinsky's testimony was also released, revealing more about her state of mind as a White House intern. A commentary by CBS 'Face The Nation' Anchor Bob Schieffer.
Since we spent so much time last week going over the president's words to the grand jury, I decided to spend the weekend going through all the e-mail, letters and testimony that Monica Lewinsky gave to the jurors.
Her tarty public persona aside, what struck me is how she bared her soul to the grand jury, and just how young she was and for all her fast ways how vulnerable she seemd.
Her worries were the worries of her generation. She worried about her weight and about being taken seriously. She wrote to a friend about finding someone some day, who would just give her a hug.
Instead, she got tangled up with the president. She became a small part of his life. He became the center of hers. She let herself dream that they might have a future together, live for the minute or two when he might say something nice to her.
When he felt the need and summoned her, she always brought a little gift.
One time she even brought a gift for his dog. When he gave her little trinkets she was beside herself. All my life, she wrote, everyone said I'm a difficult person to shop for, yet you manage to choose perfect presents, gifts for my soul.
All that for a book of poems and some junk. That's how it is when your are star struck and hopelessly in love
I know that what she did was wrong, but I feel sorry for the kid.

I have Snow Leopard on an early model MacBook Pro. The CD Drive has been giving me fits the last few months -- I stick a blank CD in it, and it claims it's bad and spits it out. I can go through a pile of brand-new CD's and it will choose 1 out of 7 that it wants to use, even though all the CD's come from the same package. The rejected CD's work fine on a Linux machine I have.
I need to burn an audio CD from iTunes and my thought was:
- Burn playlist to audio CD Image file (Red Book image?)
- Copy ISO file to Linux Machine
- Use Linux machine to burn audio image to a CD
But looking around, it doesn't seem that iTunes on OSX will support this. I was wondering if anyone else has accomplished this.
