With less than average snow fall totals last year, some resorts around Colorado are building snow capture fences or adding snow guns to build up the powder.
Powderhorn resort staff say they are not worried about packing that first layer. Sales and Marketing Manager, Gabriella Michna, says they had some of the best snow in the state last year.
However, weather permitting they may start blowing snow mid-November, a week or two earlier than last year.
"So everybody get ready and help us pray for snow because we definitely need it," said Michna.
The mountain will have three new trails this year, two glade trails and one cut trail.
Each weekend they will have live music on the sunset deck, free to guests hitting the slopes.
The resort is scheduled to open on December 13.
For those looking to learn, the resort is offering a new package deal; anyone who purchases three lessons will also get a season pass.

— Johnathan Taylor and Buddy Lamothe may never play baseball again because of injuries that left them partially paralyzed.
That didn't matter to the teams that picked them Wednesday during final day of the Major League Baseball draft.
Georgia outfielder Johnathan Taylor, a 33rd-round pick of the Texas Rangers, and San Jacinto College reliever Buddy Lamothe, the Houston Astros' 40th-round selection, were both seriously injured recently.
Taylor broke his neck in March during a game when he collided with teammate Zach Cone, the Rangers' supplemental-round pick Monday. Texas director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg said the team's selection of Taylor was "something we felt was right."
Lamothe was injured last month in a diving accident in San Marcos, Texas.

Soldiers patrol the downtown area in an effort to secure it from Mujao infiltrators, two days after Mujao fighters engaged in a firefight with Malian forces. The attack in Gao shows the Islamic fighters, many of them well armed and with combat experience, are determined and daring and it foreshadows a protracted campaign by France and other nations to restore government control in this vast Saharan nation in northwest Africa.(AP Photo/Jerome Delay)

Kravis Follows Schwarzman Underground
Henry Kravis (left) may be riding on Steve Schwarzman's coattails once again.
A breakfast presentation Kravis was to give Oct. 2 at the New York Public Library has been cancelled, according to an email sent to people that signed up for the event. No explanation for the cancellation was given, but it has our minds racing as to why, given that Kravis' buyout firm is in the throes of preparing an IPO. (The Kohlberg Kravis Roberts camp had no light to shed; no word back yet from the NYPL.)
The shy spell brings to mind the aversion to publicity that Schwarzman developed after his buyout firm went public. Schwarzman, who had been omnipresent leading up to the Blackstone Group sale, suddenly disappeared the day it was launched. As far as we can tell, he still hasn't surfaced publicly again. To be sure, Kravis has never been the media hound that Schwarzman is (was); the NYPL appearance would have been rare.
On the eve of a share sale, companies are prohibited from hyping their prospects, but they aren't muzzled entirely. (Schwarzman made his own appearance at the Public Library just four days before the Blackstone stock's June 22 debut.) If Kravis simply felt discretion was the better part of valor, why did he wait until now to cancel?
One thing is for sure: The cancellation means Kravis doesn't have to explain why his firm apparently still plans to go forward with the IPO plan, when things have gotten a bit ugly for the private-equity industry. Just how ugly you ask? With the credit markets rebelling against buyout debt and banks showing no willingness to back new deals, shares of Blackstone seem to test new lows daily. At $22.17, they are down almost 30% from their IPO price.
Those are some coattails Kravis would definitely prefer not to ride.

In a movie, an agent might be 007. For actors, it's the one ignoring their calls and getting 10% of their paycheck. When a company goes public and issues an IPO (Initial Public Offering), the agent is the person who sells or places the stocks or securities—and gets paid a nice commission to take care of all that.

Bernanke's Politic Edits
Throughout his career, Ben Bernanke has dispensed criticism and advice to the world's central banks. First, it was to the Germans, then the Japanese, and now, it's to the Chinese. And while the advice has always been based on solid economics, his rising personal prominence has heightened the risk that it may strike listeners as impolitic.
In the prepared text of a speech Friday to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, called China's fixed exchange rate an implicit subsidy to Chinese exporters. The context of the remark within the speech suggests he meant to underline that this policy is being paid for by a lower standard of living for ordinary Chinese who must pay more for goods, and consume less of them, as a result of the artificially low currency value. But his words could also be interpreted as echoing the accusations of U.S. congressmen and businesses who believe U.S. companies are at an unfair disadvantage to their Chinese competitors because of the low currency.
As an academic at Princeton University, he co-wrote a paper in 1997 arguing that Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, wasn't really targeting the money supply as it claimed it was targeting inflation and using interest rates. He was harshly critical of the Bank of Japan during the 1990s for, in his view, a failure to do more to stop deflation and boost economic growth. In 1998, he referred to Japan's economic stagnation as a case of self-induced paralysis. At his confirmation hearing to be a Fed governor in 2002, he said Japan's poor economic performance is due almost entirely to very poor monetary policy. In a speech to the Japan Society of Monetary Economics in Tokyo the following year, he delivered a lengthy speech full of advice to the Bank of Japan on how to end deflation, albeit in more diplomatic terms than he used as an academic. By this point Bank of Japan officials were used to being bashed, but they still felt a bit nervous when Bernanke would weigh in.
(To be sure, Bernanke has not spared the U.S. As an academic and Fed governor he repeatedly pushed the Fed to be more transparent and to adopt an inflation target. He continues that effort now, though behind the closed doors of the Fed's meeting rooms.)
Friday's speech was very similar to that in Tokyo: delivered to local academics, long, full of hard-nosed economics and an extensive bibliography, and chock-full of recommendations. Among them: liberalize electricity prices; end price controls on fuel; give competitive financial markets more say in the allocation of capital; base more loan decisions on sound economic critieria; eliminate quantitative measures on capital investment; loosen cross-border capital controls; and expand social services.
It was the currency advice, however, that understandably got the most attention since it's the key flashpoint in U.S.-China relations. And, sometime between the preparation of his text and its delivery, he decided to drop the word subsidy perhaps a sign of his increased awareness that words spoken by a Fed chairman have an entirely different impact from words spoken by an academic or even a Fed governor.

Raed Fattouh, a
Palestinian coordinator of supplies into Gaza, said a truck transporting
2,000 pieces of mainly wool garments were exported through the
Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing in the south of the Palestinian
territory on Monday.
The cargo was heading toward an Israeli seaport en route to the UK, Fattouh said.
Although the besieged Palestinian territory made its first export of clothes in five years, many other businesses in Gaza are still banned by the Tel Aviv regime from exporting goods.
Fattouh added that the exact date for the next shipment of Palestinian-made clothing has not been set.
Israel denies about 1.7 million people in the besieged Palestinian territory their basic rights, including the freedom of movement and the right to decent living, work, health and education.

Marketing a Practice
Often I'm asked "why do I need to market my practice?" People new to running a private practice, usually get the impression from the training courses that all they have to do is open the doors and the clients will come. I'm not sure if that was ever the case.
This page and the connected articles below are about helping you understand what marketing is and is not, and give you some tried and tested ways of proceeding.
The need for marketing will only increase. To illustrate this, here in the United Kingdom, 20 years ago there were probably less than 30,000 people running their own practices whether psychotherapy, counselling, bodywork or whatever. Today the situation is there are probably in excess of 200,000 trying to make a living. Even though the number of people taking advantage of or understanding what is offered has increased, it has not increased by that much.
To use economics jargon, the market is becoming saturated. Or is it? There are probably more people who need your help today than ever before, you could probably write your own article on the reasons for this. What is needed are a range of marketing strategies for private practice.
Here we will explore some of the basic ideas as to how marketing relates to a private practice. Clearly, the relationship you have with your clients is based on trust and highly personal. Anything you do to market yourself has to be clearly honest, free of manipulation or any of the nasty things going on out there.
After all, it may be possible to manipulate a person into having a first session with you, but the reality is you want a loyal long-lasting client, happy to pay what you're really worth.
Firstly, let's look at marketing in a simple way; this diagram may illustrate it for you.
Marketing 101 diagram.
The circle on the left is what people are willing to pay for; this certainly includes things you would never want to go near! The circle on the right represents things you are willing to do; however, some of them people will not pay for. For example, I am still looking for somebody who will pay me to be a test pilot in a mattress factory.
The area of overlap is what you are looking for: people who have needs that you are willing to meet at a fair price.
For a private practice, marketing is about communicating with people you could possibly help. It's about getting in front of individuals, speaking their language, talking about their issues and how you can help them. You can get in front of people physically, in groups, on the telephone, on the Internet, in print, on radio and television. The list goes on, but the key to it all is their language and their issues.
Market research is about finding groups of people you can easily communicate with, identifying if they have issues you can help with and are they prepared to pay what you're worth? This is why, in the strategy for a full practice, stage one and stage two are market research and market testing.
With all your marketing material I want you to ask the question who am I calling? You want somebody from your target audience to go and say that's me! If you make your material general, or talk about what you do, very few will connect emotionally with it. If you talk to your audience about their issues, then more will connect.
Once you know who you are calling to be your clients, then marketing is about finding different ways of getting your message about how you can help them in front of these people.
I hope you find here many creative ways to market a new private practice.

Hey guys! My name is Sara Líf and I'm from Iceland. Random fact of the day. In Iceland we don't have last names. If Taylor were Icelandic her name would be Taylor Swift Scottsdaugther. I think it's pretty funny how normal, classic and good Icelandic names can turn out funny when you translate them. Let me translate my fathers name for you, Godbear. My lucky number is 11 but I also like 13 and I think you know why. I was born 11.06.94 (11th June 1994) at 11:06 PM. My favorite song on RED is Holy Ground. And that song is #11 on the album. Freaky.
But anyways, enough of that. I hope you didn't get confused or anything. It will get worse, trust me. My zodiac sign is Gemini which basically means I won't shut up. I'm a perfectionist but I try not to be occasionally.
I love writing and reading. I like the smell of new books. People think that's very weird, so I smell books when I'm alone, reading in bed. I like going to the library and to the bookstore. I'm that annoying friend that always wants to go to the bookstore. No one wants to go with me.
I read newspapers backwards. I always, ALWAYS, read magazines and books in the correct order.
Iceland & northern lights.
Winter: 20 hours without daylight.
Northern lights in september '12.
Iceland in the midnight sun. This is the video
Summer: daylight for 23 hours!
We're all here because of Taylor. We all love her. I can't even discribe how much I love her. Maybe I could in Icelandic, but I think it would just sound silly in English. Taylor has had the biggest impact on my life and she means the world to me. She's like the older sister I never had. She's inspiring, her music is amazing, she's a great person and she's a beautiful soul (a pretty little mind).
I live in Iceland but I always vote for Taylor. When I can vote for her I go all giggly and I get so excited.
I think Taylor should visit us. I don't want to end up like this person. I don't know If you want to read about all of that anyway. But, in Iceland we have 13 santa clauses and we celebrate 13 days of Christmas. Children put their shoe in their window and get little presents from each and every santa clause, every night, for 13 days.
I wasn't always fearless. I had really bad "best friends." These girls weren't my friends, they didn't support me in life, they just made me feel like I was nothing and unworthy somehow. I'm really tall (5'11) and I hated being this tall for a long time because my friends were shorter than me. I have curly auburn hair. My friends were always pointing that out like it was funny to have curly hair or something. I felt like I had to straighten my hair every day.
I once asked if I should get a hair cut and dye my hair darker, they didn't listen or bother to answer. But I just went for it anyway, because I wanted to do this After I'd done it, my veeery good friends told me that they missed my old hair. Thanks for telling me that after I changed it.
I always told them I didn't listen to music because I was afraid the would make fun of my taste in music. I stopped listening to music for a while.. but music is everything to me. I've been singing since I was a little kid but at thirteen they told me I couldn't sing. I felt really bad about singing since then. I was really insecure that it was almost unhealthy.
My life changed forever when I first heard Mean, I honestly cried. The song is beautiful. I love it so much. I couldn'T believe people were being mean to Taylor. It made me feel like we had something in common. Well, we have a lot more in common than I thought!! I became a Swiftie when I heard her sing Mean. I was just a fan of everything she did before but now I'm truly obsessed.
I haven't talked to my "best friends" for years now. Because of Taylor, I became fearless. I auditioned for my school choir, which is really popular and huge. I had to sing to the choir director and I was terrified. There were so many people who auditioned and only a few made it. And you know what? I DID! I was so happy. Now I know that I can actually sing and my friends were just lying to me all along. Just to make me feel miserable, and so that they could feel better.
My happy ending: I've made a lot of amazing friends in my new school and on Taylor Connect. I'm not as active on TC as I were in the beginning because I'm really obsessed with Tumblr now. My username is taypunzel. :)
I'll be a Taylor fan forever. No matter what happens. Her lyrics keep me going and I'm optimistic about meeting her. Even though I live here. I don't miss a thing, well except going to concerts. So, I'm kind of missing out, a lot. I really, really, want an opportunity to meet Taylor or at least a chance to get to see her. I don't know if I'll ever meet her. I sometimes feel so far away, it's ridiculous. "The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours."
Just the thought of going to her concerts would make me SO unbelievably happy. I would enjoy every minute of it, cry a lot, sing the whole time and dance my awkward and nerdy dance. I'm not the best dancer, I'm not very sophisticated either. But who cares as long as everyone is having a good time?
I truly admire you for reading my disorganized chaos! You are now awesome.
I'm sorry if this is the MOST random profile you've ever read before.
YOU HEARD ME. I'M GOING CRAZY. THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING. I've been waiting for years now. And it's finally here. I'm flying from Iceland to Germany to see her live. I've had enough of waiting in Iceland for Taylor to tour here. It's not going to happen any time soon. It's such a small country. So I saved up so much money for this trip to Cologne June 19th :) section 211, row 9,...

MARIETTA - As the end of this week arrives, a new frozen yogurt shop, Whirl, will be serving up 10 flavors of frozen yogurt and all the toppings a bowl can hold.
Whirl is expected to open March 27 or 28 in the Lafayette Center.
Owner Melissa Harvey co-owns the Marietta shop with her husband, Doug Knippen. She said while the store is starting with just 10 flavors, they will change frequently.

"(Frozen) yogurt comes in 70-some flavors between the Greek and sorbets," she said. "We'll constantly be rotating flavors."
Starting flavors will include: white chocolate mousse and dreamy dark chocolate, salted caramel pretzel and peanut butter, Tahitian vanilla and classic chocolate, no fat-no sugar strawberry and cheesecake and an original tart flavor with raspberry pomegranate sorbet. The flavors can be mixed, or whirled, or eaten separately.
The frozen yogurt is either low fat or no fat, Harvey said.
Fact Box
If You Go
* Opening: March 27 or 28.
* Located at: 440 Pike St., in Lafayette Center.
* Phone: 336-7874.
* Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.
* Cost: 45 cents per ounce.
* Flavors: 10 total.
* Toppings: Fresh fruit, candies and poppers.
* Seating: 20 to 25 inside, additional outdoor seating will be available after opening.
"It's very good for you and very low calorie," she said.
Harvey said there are toppings for every kind of person, whether they are a fruit lover or craving candy.
"We have 20 cold toppings," she said. "We have up to 32 of the candy type. We have hot fudge, caramel and marshmallow."
For 45 cents an ounce, customers can have as little or as much as they want.
"The customer controls everything," Harvey said. "Some people like a little hot fudge, some people want a gallon."
Up to 25 people can be seated indoors, but Harvey said outdoor seating will be forthcoming after the opening.
Manager Jean Miller said there will be sodas and water for customers to drink while they eat their frozen yogurt.
"Along with cold drinks, there will be (hot beverages)," she said.
Harvey said the idea to open a frozen yogurt shop came after many vacations in northern Ohio.
"We go up to Lake Erie a lot," she said. "We go to Menchies. We've seen chain yogurt stores coming into Ohio. Then we started going to some in Parkersburg. People started saying, 'I wish I didn't have to go to Parkersburg,' and I started looking into (opening a store) in August and this is it."
Miller said the feedback on a Marietta frozen yogurt shop has been plentiful.
"Feedback has been tremendous," she said, adding that many residents are looking forward to a local store.
Harvey said the shop will offer local nonprofit fundraising events, where a certain percentage of the proceeds will benefit a group. She said to call the shop after this week to get more details.
Though 10 part-time employees have already been hired, those looking to work at Whirl may still have a chance.
"We are going to be accepting applications after we open for summer positions," Harvey said, adding that around six people would be hired for part-time work.
Harvey said the grand opening will be in a few weeks, after the initial opening of the store. She said she's hopeful of a soft opening, but is anticipating many customers coming through the door.
"I just hope we're prepared for it," she said.

Along the North Shore of PEI
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Stephen Lukas
We started this late August morning by making our way to North Lake, Prince Edward Island for a deep sea fishing tour. After being cancelled due to high waves, we drove further along the coast to check out the scenary, but primarily to find a place for breakfast. At the end of a beach access road, we found a completely secluded beach with some rocky shoreline to the left. I found the location for this shot around a corner after a short walk along the rocks.

Missouri Valley Speakers Series: Quindaro Underground Railroad
For Immediate Release:

Contact: Paul Smith
Missouri Valley Speakers Series: Quindaro Underground Railroad
The Kansas City Public Library welcomes Steve Collins for a presentation called The Quindaro Underground Railroad: A Unique Ethnic Unity in America's Past on Sunday, April 19, at 2 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
From its start in 1857, the Quindaro township – in present-day Wyandotte County – was an unabashedly free-state community surrounded by pro-slavery sympathizers. Amid this conflict, Quindaro residents forged a community based on multi-ethnic collaboration – a model for ethnic solidarity today. The unique personalities that combined to create the Quindaro Underground Railroad also bridged a seemingly insurmountable political gap with the pro-slavery town of Parkville, Missouri.
Collins details the history of this unique community with this illustrated presentation exploring Quindaro's founding by members of the Wyandot tribe as well as the community's role in the abolitionist movement within the Kansas Territory.
Collins is a professor of social and behavioral sciences at Kansas City Kansas Community College and past field director of a grant to preserve the Quindaro Ruins.
This presentation is part of the Missouri Valley Speakers Series, a program of the Missouri Valley Special Collections at the Central Library. The series is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Admission is free. Call 816.701.3407 to indicate your interest in attending or you may RSVP online. Free parking is available in the Library District Parking Garage located at 10th and Baltimore.

Potassium is an important mineral that the body needs to function properly. It is a water-soluble mineral meaning it cannot build up in the body. Therefore they do not reach toxic levels.
Potassium Facts:
- Hyperkalemia is a condition wherein there is too much potassium in the blood.
- Hypokalemia a condition wherein there is too little potassium in the blood.
- Potassium supplementation is important for people taking certain types of diuretics.
- Fruits and vegetable provide a high ratio of potassium to sodium.
- Most multivitamins contain potassium.
- Potassium supplements are not allowed to contain more than 99mg per dose. A dose of 500 to 3,000 mg is used by doctors for the therapeutic treatment of hypertension.
- Enough supply of Magnesium is needed to maintain the normal level of potassium in the body.
- Coffee and alcohol can increase the amount of potassium excreted in the urine.
- If you have kidney disease, you should not take potassium supplements without specific instructions from your doctor. Also, potassium supplement should not be used without a doctor's recommendation by people who are taking ibupropen, or naproxen, or potassium depleting diuretics (such as lasix and thiazide diuretics), and chemotherapy drugs.
Potassium Health Benefits:
- Potassium is a heart-friendly mineral and helps the heart in pumping blood. It controls the blood pressure and also minimizes the risk of stroke.
- Potassium is required for the proper growth of muscles. Potassium deficiency can lead to muscle weakness.
- Potassium helps in keeping iodine levels in the thyroid in proper balance.
- Potassium is important for proper nerve functioning and regulating the transfer of nutrients into cells.
- Potassium aids arthritic conditions (causing acids to leave the joints and ease stiffness).
- Potassium assists the kidneys in removal of toxic wastes by the process of excretion.
- Potassium is essential for the normal functioning of the brain. It aids in learning and memory, it also helps reduce mental stress and anxiety.
- Potassium helps in controlling headaches and migraines.
- Potassium helps in faster healing of bruises and cuts, and also helps to heal burns.
Potassium Deficiency Symptoms:
- Muscle fatigue
- Constipation
- Irregular pulse rate
- Rapid heart beat
- Paralytic ileus
- Muscle cramps while jogging
- Lack of appetite
- Mental apathy
- Muscle weakness
- Actual paralysis of the muscles
Causes of Potassium Deficiency:
- Excessive sweating
- Frequent urination (caused by diuretics medications)
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Diabetes
- High Sodium intake
- Magnesium deficiency
Daily Requirements: 3-5 gm.
Supplemental Dosage: Usually unnecessary.
How to Buy Potassium Supplement:
- It is important to be very careful in choosing a top quality supplement when buying your mineral, including potassium. Many products on the market are simply "thrown together" and many of the ingredients can end up canceling each other out or even have harmful consequences. Moreover, supplements that are not scientifically formulated generally have poor bioavailability, which means that most of the ingredients will simply pass through the system and excreted with little to no benefit.
- Choose a mineral supplement that uses the chelated form. Chelated minerals are ones that are attached to protein molecules, which in turns allows them easier transport into the bloodstream for better absorption.
Foods rich in Potassium: Potassium is found in many different foods, but particularly in fruits and vegetables. Good sources include carrots, avocados, tomatoes, apples, bananas, and oranges. Dulse, a type of seaweeds, is particularly high in potassium. Meat, fish and milk are also good sources of potassium.
Potassium Side Effects:
- Potassium taken in excess can throw off your electrolyte balance and slow your heart down to dangerous levels.
- Don't take more than 99 mg daily in supplement form because it can irritate your stomach.
- Too high a dosage of potassium supplements can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and ulcers.

I had saline implants three months ago , Im planning to get them changed to silicone since I believe they look more natural and there is much less degree risk of rupture, and also Ive been told by a plastic surgeon that once you get silicone gel implants you dont have to get that surgery ever again , (unlike saline which you have to change every 10 years), is all this true?? Is it okay to have this kind of procedure 6 months after my first surgery?
Can I Change my Saline Implants to Silicone Six Months After the Initial Procedure?
Doctor Answers 17
Saline To Silicone
You can change your saline implants to silicone implants at 6 months. I personally believe that silicone implants look and feel better in most women. Breast implants(saline and silicone)are medical devices and not designed nor should they be reported to last forever. They may and will break down over time. If that happens you will have to talk to your surgeon about options that are available to you.
Risk of Saline vs. Silicone Breast Implant Deflation
The risk of breast implant deflation for saline and silicone implants is the same as reported by most breast implant manufacturers. The lifespan of saline and silicone breast implants are also the same. Saline and silicone breast implants can feel different and look different depending on the amount of native breast tissue present.
Web reference: http://www.beautifulself.com/breastaugmentation_implants.htm
When Can I Change my Implants
Many women who are very thin and go with larger implants can have rippling or a firm feel and look to their implants. Many of my patients have been switched from saline to silicone to have a more natural appearance or decrease their rippling.
The surgery is very straightforward in comparison to the original breast augmentation. The muscle has already been stretched so patients do not feel the same pressure after their surgery. Patients are typically surprised how easy the recovery is for an implant exchange.
At six months you could do your implant exchange, that give your body enough time to heal after your first surgery.

Implant Exchange from Saline to Silicone Safe
Yes, you can change your implants safely after 6 months from Saline to silicone Breast Implants. However, few if any board certified plastic surgeons will tell you that your breast implants will last forever. I would recommend seeking a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic surgery and ask the pros and cons of Saline versus Silicone gel implants.
Breast surgery revision
It should be no problem to undergo the revisionary surgery at this point. However, you should be aware that all the risks associated with saline breast implants are the same with silicone gel implants (with the possible exception of rippling potential).
Saline implants have some advantages over silicone implants. Silicone implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they deflate and the results are seen almost immediately. When silicone implants rupture, the breast often looks and feels the same because the silicone gel may leak into surrounding areas of the breast without a visible difference. Patients may need an MRI to diagnose a silicone gel rupture. Saline implants are also less expensive than the silicone gel implants.
Some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. Each patient differs in the amount of breast tissue that they have. If a patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the final result will be similar when comparing saline implants versus silicone gel implants. If a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more natural result.
Other differences involve how the breast implants are filled. Saline implants are filled after they're implanted, so saline implants require a smaller incision than prefilled silicone breast implants. Also, many saline implants can be adjusted after surgery. The doctor can use a syringe to put in more liquid or take it out. The size of standard pre-filled silicone implants cannot be changed.
On May 10, 2000, the FDA granted approval of saline-filled breast implants manufactured by Mentor Corporation and McGhan Medical. To date, all other manufacturers' saline-filled breast implants are considered investigational.
As of 2006, the FDA has approved the use of silicone gel implants manufactured by the Mentor Corporation and Allergan (formerly McGhan) for breast augmentation surgery for patients over the age of 22.
I hope this helps.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_breastrevision.htm
Breast Implants
At 6 months you could have the surgery. I always caution my patients that just because you can, does not mean you should. If you have excessive rippling, or are unhappy with the appearance of your implants, or you are unhappy with the feel, you should seek the face-to-face advice of a board certified plastic surgeon. Make certain that you discuss all of the risks, as well as the benefits of any procedure with your surgeon. As stated before, nothing lasts forever and you will eventually have to replace implants no matter what the style, type, or manufacturer. Best of luck!
Web reference: http://www.sullivancentre.com
Breast augmentation silicone
I would say that most of the information you have posted is incorrect. Visually there isn't much difference between saline and silicone unless you have visible rippling with salines. Smooth silicone implants have less rippling than saline implants. The leak rate is about the same and there is no guarantee that you won't need another surgery with silicone or saline sometime in the future. But you can switch them to silicone after six months if you like. I think the main reason to switch is if you have visible rippling or if you can feel the saline bag through your breast tissue and you want to have a more natural feel.
Silicone implants
While you certainly can have saline exchanged for silicone implants ( as long as you are at least 22 years old) there is still a risk with silicone implants that they will need to be changed just like the risks with saline.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Replacement of saline implants with silicone implants
It is possible to change from saline to silicone implants, but silicone implants do not guarantee you will not need any additional surgery in the future. Silicone implants may feel more natural but with any type of breast augmentation there is a risk of complications such as capsular contracture or rupture which require revisional surgery.
Silicone implants can leak
Hi Vanevane,
Silicone implants can leak and some patients prefer to remove a leaking silicone implant. Unless your surgeon is talking about form stable "gummy bear" silicone implants, I think that statement is a little broad. I would ask some questions to clarify that statement.

All serious basketball players work hard right? (key term here is: serious). All good shooters can make 65/100 3′s, right?
We all play on sweet AAU teams, we all lift wieghts down at the rec center and hit the gym to shoot our shots afterwards, right?
Sounds like a full schedule of basketball, man we must be working really hard, what a great work ethic we have. We all do it, so why do only some of us stand out? Why do only some of us get college scholarships?
Luck? maybe a little bit.
With a little hard work, you know the standard amount; It's easy to go from 50/100 to 65/100 in 3′s but why is it so hard to go from 65 to 80/100….consistently?
If all you're doing is the standard amount, all you're going to get is the standard result. The hard part is the last 8% and yes even the last 1%, everyone is already doing the standard amount, if we practice enough we can all hit 65 made 3′s out of 100, but that's not going to make us stand out from a crowded market. The hard part is getting to 80 on a consistent basis, now you're in an exclusive club that only 1% of your peers are in…does this give you a better opportunity of getting a college scholarship? I think so!
Which part of your game is in the 1% club?
Notice the key words I used: "we all do this" "we all can shoot 65%", be the one that says "only I can shoot 80%!"

"Listen up. You're in trouble. Word is the Capitol's furious about you showing them up in the arena. The one thing they can't stand is being laughed at and they're the joke of Panem," says Haymitch.
I feel dread coursing through me now, but I laugh as though Haymitch is saying something completely delightful because nothing is covering my mouth. "So what?"
"Your only defense can be you were so madly in love you weren't responsible for your actions." (26.55-57)
The Games might be over, but pretending to be love turns out to be the only defense Katniss will have against the Capitol.

For those who are into Winter weather, there was a snowstorm to start the year...but it affected a small portion of northwest Arkansas. On February 1st/2nd, snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches were reported...including 5 inches in the Harrison (Boone County) area. Up to 8 inches piled up at Mount Sherman (Newton County). To check out the event on February 1st/2nd, click here.
Ice of a different nature occurred on April 28th/29th. Numerous hailstorms developed north and west of Little Rock (Pulaski County), with several reports of golfball size hail. This included areas such as Danville (Yell County), Atkins (Pope County), near Conway (Faulkner County), Jacksonville (Pulaski County), and just southwest of Heber Springs (Cleburne County). The event was covered by the Cable News Network (CNN). For more on the hailstorms on April 28th/29th, click here...and for CNN coverage, click here.
The hail event in April was one of the few big severe weather episodes in the Spring. It was uncharacteristically slow during Spring, with only 1 tornado spawned in the Little Rock County Warning Area. This weak (F0) tornado occurred a few miles west of Dardanelle (Yell County) on April 11th.
Otherwise, drought conditions began to worsen in May...with dry weather continuing in June. In both months, rainfall was 2 to 4 inches below normal in much of Arkansas...with some spots in northeast Arkansas receiving less than an inch of rain for the two month period. Newport (Jackson County), for example, reported a total of 0.74 inches of precipitation.
There was some relief in July, with at least a couple of heavy rain events. During this time of year (early Summer), it is common for large thunderstorm complexes to form in the Plains and head to the east. In many cases, the complexes will weaken as they approach the state (toward morning), with a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) left behind. This is a pool of cool air aloft that eventually moves over warmer/more unstable conditions near the ground...with thunderstorms redeveloping. That is exactly what happened during the nighttime hours of July 5th/early on July 6th...with more than 4 inches of rain produced in portions of central Arkansas. For more on the MCV of July 5th/6th, click here.
And then the hurricane season (June 1st to November 30th) got cranked up. The tropics were very active, with a total of 28 named storms! This broke the previous record of 21 storms in 1933. For a closer look at the 2005 hurricane season, click here.
One such storm, Hurricane Dennis, reached Pensacola, Florida on July 10th...and affected areas mainly east of Arkansas as the system moved inland. Eventually, the remnants of Dennis parked in the Ohio Valley for a few days...with tropical moisture sitting over Arkansas. This led to a heavy rain event on July 16th, with over 3 inches of rain in an hour near Sherwood (Pulaski County)...and flash flooding. To check out flash flooding on July 16th, click here.
The big hurricanes of the year (at least in the western Gulf of Mexico) were Katrina and Rita. Both storms reached Category 5 status (sustained winds over 155 mph) before making landfall as Category 3 (winds of 111-130 mph) systems. Katrina made landfall just southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana on August 29th...with Rita coming ashore on September 24th. The remnants of Rita had a direct impact on the Little Rock County Warning Area, with 3 to 6 inches of rain (which helped the drought situation) and 11 tornadoes produced. Wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph were also common with Rita, with a 52 mph gust at Texarkana (Miller County). For more on Katrina, click here...and for the impacts of Rita, click here.
The rain from Rita helped in the short-term...given that there was a lack of precipitation in October. In fact, there were 32 days with no measurable precipitation in North Little Rock (Pulaski County) from September 28 through October 30th...a record dry spell.
In November, the big tornado outbreak of the year occurred. On the 27th, there were two dozen tornadoes spawned from southwest through central and north central Arkansas...covering a 20 county area. The strongest tornadoes were rated F3 (158-206 mph winds)...and affected portions of Conway and Perry Counties. While there was lots of destruction in these areas, there was only 1 fatality. This outbreak and a stormy Fall pushed the tornado total for the year to 52. For a look at the tornado outbreak of November 27th, click here. For a list of tornadoes in 2005, click here.
The year ended on a dry note. It was the driest December on record, with an average of only 0.75 inches of precipitation statewide. The drought was in full swing, and continued into 2006. For some final 2005 drought figures, click here.

As Worst Fears Subside, Crude Oil Now Down $3 a Barrel
Crude oil futures dropped nearly $3 a barrel Monday and natural gas futures were down nearly 6.1% as Gustav was downgraded to Category 2 status before its expected landfall on the energy-rich U.S. Gulf Coast. Light, sweet crude for October delivery was recently down $3.84 or 3.3%, at $111.62 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on the ICE Futures exchange fell $2.58 to $111.47 a barrel. Natural gas for October delivery on Nymex was down 48.4 cents, or 6.1%, at $7.45 a million British thermal units.
Gustav has already forced preventative cutbacks in Gulf Coast energy output. Energy producers have shut in approximately 96.3% of oil production and 82.3% of natural gas output in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Minerals Management Service said Sunday. The longer-term impacts from the storm won't be immediately known, and traders and crude oil's fall reflected wider concerns about softening oil demand. Trading volume was also light as the U.S. observed the Labor Day holiday and pit trading on the Nymex floor was shut, making the market liable to exaggerated price moves.
"It's going to be several days before the industry is able to assess what sort of damage has occurred here," said Peter Van Cleve, president of brokerage T.W. Energy Consulting in Kansas City, Mo. "The fact that you've got a Category 2 hurricane impacting a major production area and we're lower is testimony to the sentiment of the marketplace." Peter Beutel, president of energy risk management firm Cameron Hanover in New Canaan, Conn., said in a note late Sunday that the market reaction "is extremely subdued." "In our opinions, had this storm come at the end of June or during the first day or two of July, it would have pushed crude up $10 and gasoline up a full quarter. What a difference two months make," Mr Beutel said.

Wednesday January 2, 2013
FLORENCE, S.C. -- Augusta State rallied from an early first-half deficit and registered a 77-74 Peach Belt Conference road win over Francis Marion Wednesday night in Smith University Center.
With the victory, the 12th-ranked Jaguars snapped their two-game losing skid and improved to 7-2 overall, 3-0 in the PBC and 2-0 in the PBC East Division. The loss dropped FMU to 4-5 and 0-3, respectively.
The victory was ASU's 16th in the last 17 meetings with the Patriots and the Jags improved to 19-1 vs. FMU under head coach Dip Metress.
FLORENCE, S.C. -- Francis Marion outscored Augusta State 8-3 in overtime Wednesday night and knocked off the previously undefeated Lady Jaguars 81-76 in Peach Belt Conference action at Smith University Center.
With the loss, ASU slipped to 8-1 on the season and 2-1 in the PBC, while the Patriots improved to 6-3 overall and 1-2 in the conference. Despite the setback, the 8-1 start still marked the best in program history for the Lady Jags.
ASU junior Jemimah Ashby matched her career-high with 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting and senior forward Taylor Ayers booked her third double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Tiara Gause paced five Patriots in double figures with 18 points while Dee Gray tallied 16 points and 15 rebounds. Jasmine Williams-Hayes posted 14 points and eight boards, Kristen Dickerson added 11 points and Camille Dash chipped in 10.
ASU led 34-26 at the half and pushed its lead to as much as 22 after opening the second half on a 14-0 run in the first 3:07. The Patriots responded with 11 straight points to cut their deficit in half before ASU stemmed the tied with buckets from Eryka Menzies and Ayers. FMU then rattled off a 15-0 run over a span of 4:05 as ASU combined seven straight misses from the field with five turnovers.
ASU junior shooting guard Ryan Weems, in the starting lineup for the second straight game, poured in a career-high 27 points and led the Jags in scoring for the fifth time in the first nine games. Harold Doby logged his third double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds and senior Travis Keels notched 10 points. Sophomore guard/forward Roman Hill grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds, while Devon Wright-Nelson and Chad July combined for 13 points and 13 rebounds
Dustin Jones and Tyler Deihl had 12 points for FMU and Evrik Gary pitched in 11.
ASU shot under 39.7 percent from the field, including just 4-of-19 from long range. The Patriots, who entered the contest leading the PBC and the nation in scoring, drained 16 treys in the contest but were held 32 points under their season scoring average. The Jags offset a season-high 20 turnovers against FMU's full-court pressure by owning a 56-31 edge in rebounds.

Kim Holmes on Missile Defense Cuts
The Heritage Foundation's Kim Holmes wrote an article for the Washington Times in which he asks the question, "Why cut missile defense now?"
About the proposed $1.4 billion cut in the missile defense budget, Holmes writes:
"It's being done in the name of 'restructuring' the missile-defense program. The administration is holding on to defenses against short-range missiles, while scaling back programs against long-range missiles – the kind North Korea and Iran recently tested.
"This makes no sense. Defenses against short-range missiles are all very fine, but they are not the missiles that most threaten the United States. That would be North Korea's Taepodong-2 missiles tested April 5, which when fully deployed, could reach Alaska and California.
"One target of the cuts is the Airborne Laser (ABL), an energy-directed weapon placed on a modified Boeing 747-400. The ABL is intended to knock down a long-range missile shortly after it leaves the launchpad – the best time for an intercept because its warheads have not yet been deployed in space."
Holmes also wonders why the Pentagon decided to turn its back on the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV), which would destroy missiles in space. Along with the Space Tracking and Surveillance System sensor program, the MKV could effectively neutralize our enemies' abilities to succeed in causing mass destruction.
Holmes puts the missile defense cut in perspective:
"It would be understandable if we couldn't afford missile defenses," he writes. "But that is clearly not the case. The $1.4 billion cut from the missile defense budget is 0.04 percent of the overall proposed federal budget. It's like a rounding error in an Obama bailout…The roughly $10 billion we spend annually on all of missile defense amounts to only 13 percent of what local, state and federal government agencies pay for 'first responders.'"
President Barack Obama would do well to know that appeasement and "dialogue" didn't stop North Korea from launching a rocket, and nothing short of comprehensive missile defense will protect the U.S. and its allies from rogue nations.
The Heritage Foundation blog also comments on Holmes's op-ed.

Santa Barbara Arts is having a reception for Ashleigh Brilliant tonight from 5-8 pm
Santa Barbara Arts is proud to present Ashleigh Brilliant as our featured artist for April. You may know him as the creator of "Pot Shots" seen in the SB News Press for many decades. We are having a reception for the artist this Thursday April 1st from 5-8 pm. We will also be presenting art journals by SBCC Adult Education's Creativity and the Imagination Class taught by local artist, Deborah Alston Wroblewski. The journals use mixed media techniques to document extraordinary life experiences through imagery. The journals will be displayed at the first Thursday reception. I had the pleasure of visiting a farm sanctuary yesterday in Littlerock, Ca and was so impressed with it that SB Arts will be donating 10% of sales during the event to Hooves and Paws Animal Sanctuary. This money is to help build shelters for the many sheep, cows, pigs, horses, and goats saved by a wonderful woman named Michelle. Specifically we would like to raise $2000 to cover transport and a large shelter for 3 rescued cows coming from Oregon. Without the funds, their fate is not good. Please help in any way you can. Anything is better than nothing. Check out this beautiful forever home to so many sweet animals who otherwise would have ended up on a dinner plate. You may also make a donation through their web site www.hoovesandpaws.org Thank you for caring.

Hey all! I just wanted to recommend a really great game here on Kong called Vorp!
It's really fun, however, over time it has kind of been losing players. I don't want that to happen… it'd be sad for such a fun game to have to close down. So I want to extend an invitation to you all and come play it! You won't be disappointed. It's really fun, especially if you like games in the action or strategy genres. So please, come give it a try!
If you need any help, just talk in chat, or in the forums, the general players are pretty friendly. And don't underestimate the advantage of playing a few practice matches before going into actual PvP.
Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you playing sometime!

Rebecca Woodberry's three-point shooting helped the short-handed San Jose State women's basketball team take a stunning 23-18 lead midway through the first half at ninth-ranked Baylor before the Spartans' upset bid was dashed in a 113-73 loss on Tuesday night.
"Short-handed is us," said first-year SJSU coach Jamie Craighead, whose team had just eight players in uniform against a Lady Bears team that won its 64th straight at home.
"It's going to be us for a while, so we've got to play through that. Really for me, it was about playing a team that we know can defend and score. And I thought if we could maybe come out of the game scoring 70 to 80 points, we could take something away from this game."
San Jose State (4-4) saw its early lead erased when Baylor (7-0) went on a 14-0 run in less than 3 minutes. Woodberry finished with 19 points, while Classye James had 17.
Arizona 79, Texas Tech 58: Freshman Aaron Gordon of San Jose scored 19 point for the No. 2 Wildcats (8-0).
Duke 79, Michigan 69: Quinn Cook had 24 points and nine assists, and the No. 10 Blue Devils regrouped from last week's loss against Arizona.

All individual records (objects) in Workbooks have a set of Sharing Permissions which control who can view and modify that record. When you create a new record, the Permissions it is given are a function of the Sharing Policies and Mandatory permissions in place at that time.
When your Workbooks account is originally created it's given a set of Sharing Policies which, by default, are open and allow the majority of Users to see the majority of records. However, if your company has purchased the Advanced Security extension you can configure the Sharing Policies to best suit your business needs.
You can see the Sharing Permissions applied to an individual record by clicking on the padlock icon in the top right-hand corner of the record. The Sharing Permissions will look something like this:
In this example, we can see that the Permissions for this Sales Lead are:
- Users in the Everyone group have Read and Modify access;
- The Owner of the record (in this case, Workbooks Demo Admin) has Read, Modify, Delete, Change Owner and Change Permissions access;
- Users in the System Administrator group have Read, Modify, Delete, Change Owner and Change Permissions access.
A User with Change Permissions access for a record can edit the permissions, either widening access to other Users or removing access, thus Permissions can be used to restrict access to records to individual Users or to User Groups.
For example, if I create a new Note it is created with the following Permissions:
This means:
- Users in the Everyone group have Read and Modify access;
- The Owner of the Note and Users in the System Administrator group have full access.
If I now want to remove access from the Everyone group and give access to a group called Managers, I can achieve this by clicking the Edit button and changing the Permissions, as shown in the first screenshot below, resulting in the second screenshot:
With these new Permissions all Users in the Manager group (as well as the Owner and System Administrators) will have access to Read and Modify this record but Users in the Everyone group will not.
NOTE: The Permissions have only been changed for this Note record; the Permission of all other Notes in the system will remain unchanged.
Using Capabilities & Permissions
Capabilities and Permissions combine to control security access across Workbooks. They provide a very flexible framework to enable you to build a security policy which best supports your business needs.
For example, if a User has the View CRM Sales Leads and Modify CRM Sales Leads Capabilities they will be able to:
- Access the Sales Leads Landing Pages from the Start menu;
- See the Sales Leads they have permission to access;
- Create new Sales Leads.
Having the View CRM Sales Leads capability does NOT necessarily enable a User to see ALL Sales Leads, only those which they have permission to view.
NOTE: It's possible to create a scenario where a User has no Capability to view Sales Leads but Sales Lead appear in their search results. This is because the permissions set on the Sales Leads in the search results give the user access. This may happen if a User specifically gives sharing permission to that User, or your Sharing Policies are not correctly configured.

His other stats are maybe even more startling.
And D Rock says he can catch too. Wow!
Wallace won't be as hard to replace as fans want to believe.
64 catches, 864 yards and 8 TDs are not that hard to make up. Whether it is one or multiple players we can replace that contribution. The sky won't fall
If Wallace is so easy to replace with just any fast guy, why aren't there track guys all over the league putting up the numbers he did over the last few years?
He's a flawed player, but not nearly as bad as his detractors make him out to be.

- Roadshow: Campaign under way for everyone to use their blinkers
Q I really like your idea of a bumper sticker advocating the use of turn signals.
Joan Rivas-Cosby
San Jose
A So did nearly 100 others who voted on slogans they would like slapped on a bumper sticker to remind others to use their blinkers. I asked for a vote on the best one and said I would order stickers and send them out to anyone who wants one.
The winner: "I Don't Read Minds, So Signal, Dammit!"
A very close runner-up was: "Be a Thinker. Use your Blinker!" Some may not like the "dammit" line, so list your preference of these two and I'll order the stickers. Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Mr. Roadshow, San Jose Mercury News, 750 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, CA 95190, and I'll mail you one.
Now signal, dammit!
Q How is the Doyle Drive project going in San Francisco?
Frank White
A Pretty good. The $1.1 billion project to replace this harrowing 1.6-mile approach to the Golden Gate Bridge will pass a milestone this spring when traffic is shifted onto a new southbound bridge and the old span is demolished.
The new road will have five lanes and a movable median barrier. This will require the closing of Doyle Drive for one weekend to demolish the old road. Work should be done by 2015.
Go to www.presidioparkway.org to receive notifications, view videos of the closure and other information. For construction updates, go to www.presidioparkway.org/project_docs/files/lookahead_dec2011.pdf.
Q Did I miss a column somewhere? Why are the metering lights on south Highway 87 to south 85 off? I hate to say I miss the metering lights, but I do.
Michael Schwerin
A More copper thieves. This meter was one of several in the area where the bad guys stole the wiring. Caltrans is not sure when the wiring will be replaced.
Q You've written before about how some neighbors get upset when someone parks in front of their house. Please ask your experts if it's OK to park in front of a friend or family member's entrance to their driveway. My son has a lot of parties, and the only place to park on the street is several blocks away. I could park in front of the entrance to his driveway, and he wouldn't mind. But is it legal?
Marcia Citta
A No. It's illegal to block a public or private driveway. Cars can be impounded.
Q What's planned for Prospect Road between Lawrence Expressway and Saratoga Avenue? I saw a bunch of no-parking signs go up. Are they going to finally repair Prospect?
A Yes, and this is personal. This is a road I often take on my daily iced tea run after Zoe-the-Roadshow-Retriever, and I finish our morning journey to a nearby dog park. Saratoga will pave eastbound Prospect between the expressway and See's Candies.
Q All the technology in the world could not help me find my lost car at a large shopping mall. The police officer that was assisting me said that "there were 50 cars" in the same predicament. No, my car was not in the Lost and Found.
I finally called my wife, and she took up to 30 minutes finding me. There were no numbers or landmarks that could have helped and I swear, Macy's moved somewhere while I was shopping.
Can your readers provide some tips on what they do in similar circumstances?
Fred Tombor
A This has never happened to me. Never! Now, if you believe that, I have some beachfront property in Alviso up for sale. Roadshow Nation: What tips do we have for Fred?
By the way, Mrs. Tombor deserves a medal.
Q I dreamed that gas would be $7.23 per gallon by Memorial Day. Even in my dream, I tried to convince myself to lower it by two bucks but could not.
Terry Betts
San Jose
A Whoa. That is by far the highest price entered in the contest to win a free tank of gas from me. Please, please be wrong.
Coming Monday: More on the toll express lanes at the 237-880 interchange. Look for Gary Richards at www.facebook.com/mr.roadshow or contact him at email@example.com or 408-920-5335.
