Q: Tear or Round Shape for Revision?
Dr. Edwards, The question is: in redo op, is it possible to use tear shape drop implant or is it a must to go with round shape since the tear drop might turn due to the soft and stretched tissue. I have two totally opposite opinions from 2 doctors so far. Thanks
Visitor Follow-up Response:
Sorry, I have silicon now, not saline - mistake
Dr. Edwards:
I would still say the same thing. If you want to be a little larger, consider the larger implant. As you probably know the teardrop implants are textured and by virtue of the fact that they are taller than they are wider, if they do not adhere to the capsule inside, they can flip or turn. I have seen this in a patient who came to me for revision surgery. If you have a smooth implant now the capsule will be smooth and therefore the new textured implant will not adhere well. This is of course just my opinion but I would not use a textured shaped implant in a revision case without removing the capsule.
Visitor Follow-up Question:
Only one more - in redo op, undermuscular, saline, 285 cc, - one of the doctors says he would go with Mentor 295 Cohesive gel II, the other chooses Mentor Cohesive gel II, round, minimum 350 cc. He says I need more volume to solve rippling in right breast upper inner quarter. I prefer this
second opinion. Do you agree?
Dr. Edwards:
I would need to see you in consultation to give you an opinion on this. You should look at the implants side by side with an implant filled to the size you have now. 55cc would make you a bit larger. Dr Edwards
Visitor Follow-up Question:
I need it, because the breasts are very narrow now, inside the rib cage. You can see ribs on the sides. One of the doctors says the capsule if left inside would provide for extra coverage. Is this your opinion too?
Dr. Edwards:
I think it does.
Visitor Follow-up Question:
Dr. Edwards, Is it better not to remove the capsule, since it might provide additional coverage - as an extra layer, so to say.
Dr. Edwards:
It depends on how tight your capsule is, what kind of implants you have now (saline or silicone), etc. In a woman without much breast tissue, removal of the capsule can thin your tissues and possibly alter your result. Dr Edwards
Visitor Follow-up Response:
Thanks, you helped a lot.
Dr. Edwards:
Best of Luck.
Q: When Will Implants Fully Drop?:
I am 4 months post op and my breasts still haven't fully dropped. I have 425CC smooth saline unders. My nipples are still pretty low on my breasts and I have too much upper pole fullness. The right is a little bit higher than the left. Is it likely that they will drop to fill out at the bottom at this point? If not, what can be done to correct the problem? I would wait until I was at least a full year post op before having anymore surgery, but I'm beginning to lose hope of them ever fully dropping on their own.
Dr. Edwards:
The farther out you are from surgery there is a decreasing chance they will drop, especially if your nipples are low on your breasts. There will no doubt be women on the site that say their implants
dropped after 8-12 months. I would want you to wait at least 6 months prior to a revision surgery but you should visit with your plastic surgeon to review your plan. I wish you well. Dr Edwards
Dr. Edwards:
Thanks for all of your questions. I will continue to check the forum periodically to answer questions or you can contact me through my website at firstname.lastname@example.com. Dr Edwards
Thank you Dr. Edwards
It looks like it was a good session

UPDATE: East Bangor man killed in motorcycle crash remembered as hard worker by father
State police have identified the 59-year-old motorcyclist killed Saturday evening in a crash in Lower Mount Bethel Township as Donald P. Winelander Jr., of East Bangor.
Police say the crash occurred shortly after 5 p.m. when John A. Reed Jr., 33, of Easton, was traveling north on Route 611 in a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt and attempted to make a left turn onto Upper Little Creek Road.
Reed struck Winelander, who was operating a 1986 Harley-Davidson bike southbound on Route 611, according to police.
Winelander was ejected from the bike and pronounced dead at the scene by the Northampton County Coroner's Office, police say. Reed was not injured, according to police.
Police say Winelander was wearing a helmet during the collision and the crash remains under investigation.Follow @pamholzmann

Oprah's show last Friday was about "class" and a big part of it was "how can you tell what class someone is?" I thought that the replies basically showed that people judge class on very basic things and probably are wrong 50% of the time. The judgments were based on: accent, clothing, what car you drive, etc. Things that can be viewed "on the fly", rather than more permanent things like the neighborhood you live in, the education you have, the work you do, the way you choose to spend money.
If you make class = affluence (money), then anyone with wealth is upper middle or upper class. I usually think of class designations as also involving more about cultural and moral values and education and where one's ancestors came from and that sort of thing. I think there are a lot of different distinctions of class even within the larger class ranks. Like, people with a few generations of wealth who don't believe in showing off and do public service are thought of differently within their class by those who make a show of money, big houses, and throwing their influence around to get what they want and damn the rest.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Police have tacked on two more break-ins to a crowbar-wielding bandit, who allegedly has hit nine homes around the borough and pawned at least $13,000 in swag.
The latest charges accuse Lukasz Dynak, 30, of burglarizing two apartments in the same house on Foote Avenue, Sunnyside.
The alleged thefts occurred around 7 a.m. on Feb. 3.
Court papers and a law enforcement source said the suspect pried open the doors with a crowbar to the first- and second-floor apartments.
He swiped jewelry valued at more than $1,000 from the bottom apartment and jewelry, a camcorder and a camera valued at more than $3,000 from the top apartment.
A law enforcement source said cops tracked down Dynak through records maintained at a Brooklyn pawn shop where he hocked some of the items.
He was charged in the latest case with two felony counts each of burglary, grand larceny and stolen-property possession, said a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan. He's also accused of three misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief.
Dynak, who lives on the 100 block of Silver Lake Road, Brighton Heights, was previously charged with multiple burglary, grand larceny and stolen-property possession counts stemming from seven other break-ins dating to Dec. 31.
Those heists took place in Dongan Hills, Great Kills, Meiers Corners, Silver Lake and South Beach, said prosecutors. Two other jobs occurred Feb. 3 on Clove Road in Sunnyside — the same day Dynak allegedly struck on Foote Avenue in that community.

A former aide to Michael Gove yesterday attacked plans to give free meals to infant school pupils as a "gimmick" based on fictional cost projections.
Dominic Cummings, who was Mr Gove's closest adviser before he left in January, criticised Nick Clegg for over-ruling opposition from Department for Education officials. In an unusual intervention, Mr Cummings urged critics to lodge Freedom of Information requests with the DfE to prove his claims and called on the Commons Education Committee to investigate.
David Laws, the Liberal Democrat Schools Minister, dismissed the criticism as "utter b***s".
The row laid bare simmering tensions between the

BOSTON — The House Wednesday passed legislation that would create a new penalty of up to five years imprisonment and a $1,000 fine for any driver who "willfully ignores" a police officer's signal to stop and then speeds 20 miles per hour over the limit.
The bill was filed by Rep. Christopher Markey, a Dartmouth Democrat and former prosecutor who is now the highest ranking House member on the Judiciary Committee.
The "high speed chases" bill (H 1500) is one of several to clear the Judiciary after multiple pieces of legislation were tied up as the House and Senate chairs left the Legislature this winter.
The chase has to last one mile for the crime outlined in the bill to be triggered.

Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father, and was adopted at birth by a couple from Glasgow. Initially Kay wanted to be an actress and attended classes at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) in Glasgow, whilst also reading English at the University of Stirling. Her first collection of poetry, 'The Adoption Papers' (1991), won several awards including the Scottish Arts Council Book Award. Other works – poetry, fiction and plays – explore the power of language, health and sickness, the experience of being black in Britain and gender identity issues. The experience of sitting for this bust inspired a collection of eight poems, entitled 'Life Mask' (2005).

Keith Marshall had "a million people here."
"It got to the point with Keith where we had different staff on different planning periods having to take around visiting coaches," Millbrook High School offensive coordinator Jermaine Evans said. "Every period of the day there were people here."
Marshall was the fifth-ranked player in the ESPN 150 coming out of high school, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound running back that now plays for Georgia. He was a year older than Corey Cooper, a curent Millbrook wide receiver who signed with Syracuse on Wednesday, and his talent exposed Cooper to the recruiting process that would soon be bestowed upon him a year later. Both on the field and off of it, Marshall demonstrated the values Cooper needed to display as a senior leader this season for Millbrook.
"Keith Marshall," Cooper said during his creative writing class Friday, "that's my man right there."
With Marshall receiving most of the attention from opposing defenses, Cooper saw mostly single coverage his sophomore season. Defenders crammed the box, barely even disguising their efforts to slow down arguably the top running back in the country.
It left Cooper alone on the outside of the field, and Evans recalls a particular game against Broughton High School that bordered on silly. Cooper caught four passes for 235 yards — 58.75 yards per reception — and three touchdowns in a game Millbrook lost 52-26.
But despite the end result on the scoreboard, Cooper had definitely arrived.
"That was a crazy game," said Cooper, who still remembers his exact numbers. "Just crazy."
From there he endured a junior season in which Millbrook struggled with a young quarterback. Marshall was still there — now a senior — and Evans said the team had to run the ball heavily in order to stay in games.
Cooper described it as frustrating and wishes he could have kept Trey McFarland, the quarterback from his sophomore season, for the duration of his career.
But in 2012, as a senior, Cooper stepped into the role of offensive leader that Marshall had occupied before him. Evans and the rest of the coaching staff decided to move him from outside receiver to a slot, a position he likely will play for Syracuse.
He stands 6-feet tall and weighs 190 pounds, not far off from the 193 pounds Alec Lemon weighed as a freshman.
"I was thinking that because the kid is only 6-foot, 6-foot-1 he's not going to be an outside receiver in college, and we were just going to move him to the inside to let him run against safeties, linebackers," Evans said in his classroom at Millbrook. "This year he ran more crossing patterns. We tried to teach hit more how to sit down in holes in zones. We made that decision as a coaching staff for one to get the ball into his hands more in space, like with bubble screens and stuff like that."
As recruiting interest burgeoned throughout the season, Cooper reached out to new Syracuse offensive coordinator George McDonald. Cooper said McDonald first contacted him while he was a coach at Miami in 2011, then Cooper transferred those lines of communication to Arkansas, then Syracuse.
The offers piled up, with schools like Arkansas, Miami, North Carolina, Tennessee and many more vying for the three-star prospect. But he had learned from Marshall's recruitment, understood how the recruiting game worked and how to handle coaches visiting on a consistent basis. He knew what to look for without feeling overwhelmed.
"It made it a lot easier seeing Keith get recruited," Cooper said. "With him there were like three or four coaches here every day in school, in the weight room. Even schools from the West Coast."
Cooper, who at one time was committed to Louisville, took an official visit to Syracuse and gave his verbal pledge to the Orange shortly thereafter. He stayed with Brandon Reddish, who he now considers a close friend, and he bonded with defensive tackle Eric Crume and quarterback Terrel Hunt. (He makes sure to point out that he beat Hunt in a game of NCAA Football 13).
On signing day Cooper became arguably the gem of this year's recruiting class, as he represented McDonald and head coach Scott Shafer's first real win of the hectic month-long process. He was the highest rated player on SU's list, according to ESPN, receiving a grade of 78 out of 100.
Evans said Cooper is not a player who will wow you with speed or size, he just knows how to get open. And that's exactly the trait that benefited Lemon and fellow wide receiver Marcus Sales this season as they combined for more than 1,800 yards.
"If I had to think about it, he has to be like Anquan Boldin," Evans said. "Anquan is not going to blow anybody off the ball, he's not going to outrun the whole world. But you've got to be physical with him. And if you're not physical with Anquan Boldin, he beats you."
The coaches have told Cooper they want to put him in the slot, a role Lemon played for most of the 2012 season, to see what he can do right away. And if it's anything close to Boldin, the player who had 104 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl, that will be just fine.

If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score.
The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers' outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court, blasted his guys and stormed off.
The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked.

Chance The Rapper - Yolo
You only live once, which means that it's your responsibility to make every millisecond count. With that said, you're unlikely to regret spending three minutes of that precious time taking a listen to Chance the Rapper's latest single. Premiered earlier this week as part of illRoots' Radio, YOLO sees the Chi-town emcee showing off his high-speed flows as he drops verses inspired by the ubiquitous, Drizzy-popularized catchphrase. Stefan Ponce handles production duties, borrowing a sample from the arpeggiated-synth intro of SantiGold's Disparate Youth. Feeling this high-energy jam? Then keep your browsers locked for more fresh song releases leading up to the as yet unscheduled arrival of Chance's Acid Rap street album.

Slightly similar situation. I have a friend who is a bit notorious for picking the wrong guy and every time she broke up and was single again, the evil side of me would smile selfishly. But then I'd see where being alone put her emotionally and I'd rethink that initial thought. Her happiness outweighs the selfishness and possessiveness that flares up when it comes to my close friends. I have to remind myself that when she gets into a relationship, I'm not losing her...temporarily forgotten, maybe, but not tossed aside. Every relationship is a bumpy ride and when things get tough, who do they turn to? A friend. So from that perspective, you've got that market cornered.

...Every relationship is a bumpy ride and when things get tough, who do they turn to? A friend. So from that perspective, you've got that market cornered.
This is true with me. Although I sometimes regret that I've never married, being the "rock" that people turn to when they need a friendship that has never been diluted is an aspect of myself I take pride in. My close friendships have included teenagers to people in their 60s. Just last night a friend called me to say he was destitute from health problems and can't get health insurance due to a long history of illness. He had no one else to turn to, having run out of other options. I loaned him some money (not a lot as my own resources are limited) and offered a place for him to live if he needs it.

We've talked about customer service a lot here at Lifehacker. Unfortunately, poor customer service is something we all have to deal with at some point — and often it takes a lot more than politeness and persistence to get your way. Get Rich Slowly's Holly Johnson offers her best tips for tackling these difficult situations.
Picture: [email protected]/pond
A few months ago, I decided that I needed new furniture. I didn't want new furniture. My three-year-old couch and loveseat were in great condition. On the other hand, I began to realise that I had once again been blurring the lines between being cheap and being frugal. Although my furniture looked nice, it was completely uncomfortable for my back.
As someone who has had two spinal fusions, I must be very picky about where I choose to sit. And since the furniture was no longer ideal for my short stature, I couldn't actually sit on it at all. Therefore, I had been sitting on the floor for more than three years. Cheap. It wasn't necessarily my fault; I bought the furniture before my chronic pain had even started. Still, it didn't make sense to continually sit on the floor when there were obviously other options.
Since we are now free of consumer debt, my husband generously offered to upgrade our current furniture. I was stoked. After shopping at a few local stores, I quickly fell in love with a reclining sectional sofa at Ashley Furniture. And this wasn't just a reclining sectional, it was the fancy power-operated model. This meant that I wouldn't have to endure the jarring motion of manually reclining it myself.
Of course, that probably doesn't sound like a big deal to someone who doesn't have back problems. Yet, those of you who have experienced recurring pain can probably attest to what a big deal it really is. Being in chronic pain can make almost everything a burden, and it is often something small that has the potential to set off some sort of episode. Anyway, I was thrilled to be offered the option of "push button" reclining and I eagerly bought the couch on the spot.
The Unfortunate Delivery
A few weeks passed while I excitedly awaited my new furniture. In the meantime, I sold my old uncomfortable set on Craigslist and prepared my home for the new arrival. The scheduled delivery day finally came, and I was ready to enjoy some serious relaxation. Unfortunately, when my furniture was delivered I was disappointed and angry to find that the couch I received was not the one I ordered. In fact, they sent me a couch that was identical in appearance but only manually reclined. But what about my back? The powered recliner was the main reason that I had ordered that particular couch to begin with. I insisted to speak to a customer service representative and refused to let them bring the furniture into my home.
My initial reaction was to send back the wrong couch that they had delivered. However, the customer service representative calmly assured me over the phone that I would indeed get the correct couch in a few weeks. Since I didn't have any furniture to sit on, and since this was obviously their fault, the store even nicely offered to let me keep the couch they had delivered as a loaner. I was slightly sceptical of the situation, so I refused to sign for receipt of delivery. The furniture store seemed to understand and promised that they would make everything right. Despite my concerns, I decided to proceed. After all, it could be another month until my new couch arrived, and I didn't want to spend it sitting on the floor.
So, What is Taking So Long?
Several weeks went by as I waited for my order to come in. Frustrated, I called the store to check on the delivery date and status. I was completely perplexed when they couldn't find my order in their system. Something was definitely wrong. A few hours later, I received a phone call that made me feel like I was in a crazy, alternate universe. "Mrs Johnson, if you want the powered recliner, you have to pay the difference. It's a lot more expensive," said the customer service rep on the phone. "What?!?!?!?" My heart began to pound. "But I ordered the couch that I sat on in the store. There wasn't even a manually reclining option to choose." I was utterly confused as I tried to reason with the woman on the phone. Unfortunately, she wasn't having it at all. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do to help you."
My blood pressure began to rise as I began to come to grips with what had happened. I had been duped by the classic "bait and switch". I had sat on and ordered the couch of my dreams yet had received something quite different. And now they had nearly $1500 of my money in their coffers, and I felt helpless in getting them to do the right thing.
I quickly pulled myself together. Despite my anger and frustration, I knew that I was completely justified to demand the furniture that I paid for and ordered. And like a mother bear guarding her cubs, I wildly pounced in order to protect my hard-earned dollars. I pulled out all the stops as I pleaded my case for a refund or replacement.
The Moment of Truth
Harsh words were spoken. By the time our phone conversation ended, I'm pretty sure the representative was concerned where this situation was headed. The picture I had painted was not pretty. She surely must have envisioned me picketing the store, holding signs with the ugly details of their duplicity. I even threatened to contact the investigative reporter at our local news station, Raphael Sanchez. Regardless, my crazy tactics worked, and they eventually succumbed to the idea of giving me a full refund and coming to pick up their stuff. Considering the circumstances, I suppose that this is the best resolution that I could have asked for.
One would probably think that I am thrilled to have won this battle of right and wrong. You might think that I really "stuck it to the man" or something like that. However, I am anything but happy with the entire sequence of events. I'm sad and angry. I'm deeply concerned with what has become of customer service. I also wonder what would have happened if this same situation happened to someone who was unable to state their own case. What about someone who didn't have the energy or knowledge to fight for a rightful refund?
What is someone supposed to do when they find themselves in a situation like this? What recourse do we have if we find ourselves on the receiving end of bad customer service — or worse yet — being blatantly ripped off? Unfortunately, it is starting to seem like good customer service is a thing of the past. Furthermore, it appears that some big businesses have become increasingly brazen in their attempts to increase profits. However, there is no reason to adopt a victim mentality. Actually, there are a lot of steps that one can take in order to ensure justice for their particular situation.
- Start by asking to speak to a manager or supervisor. Speak to the highest-level person you can access and be open to resolving the situation with them. This is an important first step in customer service and might be enough to resolve an issue before it needs to be escalated any further.
- File a report with the ACCC. This can result in quick action in your favour. Businesses that care about their reputation do not want a negative complaint on their record.
- Contact your credit card company. If you paid with plastic, certain credit card companies can work with you to withhold payment until a resolution is reached or even resolve the issue for you. Choosing this option might be all it takes to settle a dispute. When a company's own money is on the line, they may be more willing to negotiate.
- Go online. Sites like SCAMwatch in Australia provide up-to-date information, and there are various forums that offer a great sounding board for you to complain about business and services. Don't be afraid to tell your story. You might just save someone else from having the same experience.
- Be a squeaky wheel. We've all heard the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". I have seen first-hand how a company will sometimes do what is right if you are loud enough, if only to get you to leave them alone. Don't be afraid to speak up in order to get what you paid for and rightfully deserve.
They say that a dissatisfied customer may tell as many as 20 people about their experience, while a happy customer may tell only a few. In my case, this particular company probably didn't realise that my words would have the potential to reach many, many more.
On the other hand, we all truly have a voice. Each one of us has the opportunity to vote for services, products and the way we allow ourselves to be treated. We vote with our dollars, and, thanks to the internet, our complaints may be much further reaching than could ever be anticipated. Don't be scared to take matters into your own hands if you feel that you are being wronged. Don't hesitate to speak up, loudly if needed. And don't be afraid to be that annoying, old squeaky wheel. Just make sure to keep squeaking until you are heard.

Recent crises involving adulterated and contaminated drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients have raised the profile of FDA's ongoing campaign. Janet Woodcock, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), has championed these initiatives for years, and they remain top priorities for her.
Woodcock and leaders of CDER's Office of Pharmaceutical Science (OPS) are counting on industry to implement sophisticated quality testing and production methods to help monitor thousands of products that are quickly shipped around the world. A series of standards developed by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) describes how, on a global basis, process understanding and control should be based on sound science and quality risk management.Manufacturers, for their part, have been hearing speeches about QbD and design space for nearly a decade. Now they are looking for evidence that investment in quality systems and processes will improve the efficiency of the application-review and approval process, ease the burden of plant inspections, and rationalize the postapproval drug-monitoring system.
Nasr believes that quality risk management has become sufficiently accepted around the world to define a systematic approach to pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. QbD can provide cost savings and improved systems for manufacturers, as well as efficient regulatory oversight by FDA and other authorities, Nasr said at the Pharmaceutical Technology "Quality and Process Excellence" conference in July 2008. QbD helps manufacturers overcome real-world challenges by supporting a formalized approach to quality risk management that improves product design, increases process understanding, encourages continual improvement, and better uses modern manufacturing and analytical technologies. By adopting modern manufacturing methods to ensure quality, manufacturers also can enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Offering leeway
Flexible regulatory oversight is an added benefit for companies that adopt QbD approaches. Nasr explained that by establishing a design space based on pro-duct characteristics and performance, a manufacturer may gain leeway to reduce end-product release testing and to make process improvements without further regulatory review.
Another potential reward for manufacturers that use QbD is relaxed requirements governing postapproval manufacturing changes. FDA has developed a guidance to spell out opportunities for reduced oversight of certain low-risk chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) changes. The agency's plan outlines more than 40 categories of changes that could be downgraded to allow manufacturers to report such actions in annual reports instead of filing changes-being-effected supplemental applications. Many of the reductions essentially involve administrative changes that do not need extensive CMC review, Nasr explained. Simplified reporting may apply to changes involving the following elements:

Where's one of those snazzy electronic tickers when you need it?
The National Debt has one. So do U2 fans waiting for the new world tour to start (actually that's more of a countdown).
But as TriMet approaches "100 million rides in a year," we'll have to take the public transit agency's word for it.
For the first time in its 40-year history, TriMet will reach the "100 millionth ride" in a fiscal year sometime between now and Wednesday morning.
Of course, that's a whopper of a milestone. Surely, it doesn't mean 100 million different riders. No, said TriMet spokeswoman Bekki Witt. "We measure trips," she said.
So, whenever a rider steps on a bus, MAX train or WES train, it's counted against the tally. But don't you start worrying about the number of days that TriMet operators need to take off to heal from the repetitive stress of clicking manual counters.
Sure, on the Westside Express Service commuter rail line, the conductors do a manual count. But on buses and light rail, there's actually a laser sensor that uploads ridership data to the TriMet servers at the end of the day. (We did not know that).
To thank riders, TriMet is handing out a stockpile of free items, including 100 all-day passes, on Wednesday morning between 6 and 9 at the Pioneer Courthouse Square MAX stations and nearby bus stops on Sixth Avenue.
"Weekly ridership has increased for 20 consecutive years, and this marks the first time 100 million rides have been taken on MAX and buses in a year," Witt said.
So, happy ... (what would youc all it?) 100th million ride in a year, TriMet.
Fast facts about TriMet:
•TriMet formed in 1969 after Rose City Transit faced bankruptcy.
•In 1986, TriMet opened its first light rail line, providing 19,500 weekday rides along the 15-mile line. MAX now operates on 44 miles of track and provides more than 35 million rides each year.
•Frequent Service buses began operating in 2003, and now carry 57 percent of TriMet's bus riders.
•Currently, two-thirds of TriMet's riders use the bus, taking about 66 million trips per year.
•TriMet carries more people in the Portland metro area than any other U.S. transit system its size, and more people ride TriMet than transit systems in larger cities such as Seattle, Denver and Miami.
•71 percent of riders are choice riders; they have a car available or choose not to own one so they can ride TriMet.
•TriMet's MAX and buses combined eliminate 205,200 daily car trips, or 64.7 million trips each year.
•In fiscal year 2008, riders boarded a bus or train 99.1 million times.

The hell with Vince Lombardi and Knute Rockne. After hearing this story, KG is the king of motivational speeches.
and here i am expecting kg and sheed made a porno together
Yeah, bad headline. Really bad.
Actually, I thought the headline was pretty amazing.
I am a diehard RedsArmy fan. But please-that headline has got to go. Just too gay. Thx.
Dude, that's movie-level drama. You don't hear that kind of shit from other teams. That's heart, that's real.
Funny headline, but AWESOME CLIP. Just AWESOME. Thanks! Here are some more quotes:
About his convo with Sheed:
"I said, I need 10 and 10 every night witch you, at least in this series right here… I said, I don't care what you've been goin' through… to hell with what the year is, so what?… you can make it all up right here, man… And you know, I got into him a little bit, you know I rubbed him the wrong way a little bit, and then later on we talked, he said 'You're right.'"
LOVE this one by KG about Varajeo:
"The man does one thing, and he does it well… he doesn't score a lot, he feeds off Lebron, he picks up the garbage, he does the dirty work, he's out here trying to get guys rattled, trying to get technicals, the dumb stuff, you know? The stuff that shouldn't even be in basketball, but it is."
About what fans will give us on Friday:
"I already know what the fans are gonna give us…pure Boston, you already know what it is, it's gonna be GREEN HELL….. pure energy.
I agree with the rest that headline is awful. Funny but awful.
Oh everyone just chill out about the headline. It's supposed to be funny.
Uh no, you are just giving the Laker trolls and other dumb trolls material to use to annoy the shizzle out of us.
My eyes narrowed when I saw the headline >_>
Personally, i love that quote: "If you give us 10 and 10, we are not only gonna beat these cats, we are gonna blow them out". Owned. There will never be next one like KG.
Recommendation: stop the automatic audio load on the home page soon (tomorrow?), loading it just on the post page. Takes too long, and it's gonna get real annoying once the post drops down.
The headline… if I had to vote, I'd vote to change it. Bothers too many people.
It is really funny.
I thought the headline was good and don't feel there is a need to change it.
Blame WEEI for the automatic audio load. That's not our style.
You are right, I will need to adjust it somehow once the post drops.
If you don't like the headline, give me an alternative. Maybe I will select yours, if its funnier.
Yeah, you could just change it to an IMAGE of that link, pointing to the post page, which can retain the actual WEEI link.
It's changed already. Looks fine.
What's up with you the last few days? "Don't bitch about the Ref's" over and over; "Chill out about the headline".
Just sayin.
By the way I thought the first headline was a riot.
Honestly, the refs thing is pissing me off. Not so much that people are bitching about the bad calls…. that's no big deal. But all this craziness about cheating and blaming refs for losses.
All I'm doing is trying to show people that it goes beyond the refs. But I certainly haven't censored anyone.
As for the headline… It was my reaction to the reaction.
Thank you Jon.
Occasionally complaining about refs in a very poorly officiated game is one thing, but the constant bemoaning and conspiracy theorists and spamming has just taken it way to far. Everyone deals with the refs just put that to bed
"We got, uh, the man of the hour up in this piece"
haha Maxwell is hilarious
Celtics version: KG makes an intervention on a team mate that is notorious for not listening to people, avoiding people, etc. When ANYBODY is in a funk, they avoid people, and this is Sheed. Sheed has no where to run when he's in the shower; he can't even answer a fake cell phone call.
Evaluation: tactical ambush – good leadership move – and for whatever reason, Sheed resurrected his game in game 2.
Lakers version: Ron Artest, attending the game as a fan, visits Kobe after his devastating series ending finals loss against Boston. He visits him in the shower. Ron consoles Kobe, and they have a heart to heart about their hoop dreams. A love affair begins between Ron and…the Lakers?…he signs for short money to help them win a championship.
Evaluation: suspiciously fruity…although in the immortal words of Jerry Seinfeld, "not that there is anything wrong with that."
What's funny to me about the KG thing is that he will ambush team mates when necessary.
Another famous KG ambush:
-After the story comes out about his fight with a friend and a broken thumb, Glen Davis is leaving the Health Point facility after a lonely, soul searching midnight tread mill run at the Health Point facility. He gets into his SUV and begins the drive home, but can't resist pulling into a 24 hour donut shop. He is about to order when a flashlight, held under his chin, clicks on to illuminate the face of Garnett who has been sitting in the back seat the whole time. Paralyzed with fear, Davis says nothing when the shop employee asks "can I help you?" After a lengthy stare down via the rear view mirror, the employee asks "can I help you?" again and Garnett shakes his head for 'no' and turns off the flashlight. Davis is unable to respond and drives away. At the next red light he is finally able to speak…but when he looks, Kevin is gone.
Hope Sheed puts out for the whole series….(jeezz!!!)
about time.
It took KG, the great leader until the conference semifinals to finally light into rasheed?
bout time, thats really all i can say

In the first ceremony of its kind at the region's newest military installation, command will change hands this morning of Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, which is in Algiers. Lt. Col. Todd Ford will hand responsibility of the 29-acre facility to Lt. Col. Brian J. Hardy, during a ceremony scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
The installation, viewed locally as the anchor for the neighboring Federal City campus, is home to the national headquarters for Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces North. About 1,300 military and civilian personnel work at the site daily. Counting the reservists who report for military duty periodically, 2,300 Marines and civilians are assigned there.
The job has dual responsibilities, as the installation commander also commands Marine Forces Reserve's Headquarters Battalion. As such, Ford will relinquish command of that battalion to Hardy.
A Virginia native, Ford has been stationed in New Orleans for about two years and is the first officer to command Marine Corps Support Facility, which the Marines began occupying in June 2011. He transfers to Washington D.C., to become assistant chief of staff for the Marine Corps Installations Command comptroller.
Hardy comes to New Orleans from Washington D.C, where he was assigned to the Marine Corps Programs and Resources Division's Operations and Maintenance Budget Formulation Branch.
Marine Corps Support Facility was born from the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure round, or BRAC, which brought to an end a more than century-long Navy presence in New Orleans.
Marine Forces Reserve, along with Marine Forces North, was a tenant of the Naval Support Activity's east bank campus in the Bywater neighborhood. But under the BRAC round, the Marines were to move to the Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base in Belle Chasse.
New Orleans officials opposed the move, and the state pledged up to $150 million to build new facilities for the Marines in Algiers as part of the Federal City campus, whose concept hangs on attracting governmental and business entities to New Orleans' West Bank as an economic development project.
The 29-acre installation, with the 411,000 square feet of office space contained within what the Marines call the Joseph J. McCarthy Building, was built for about $110 million at state expense. In what was a large real estate deal, the state has transferred ownership of the property to the Marine Corps.
But while Marines have occupied the facility for more than a year, the installation still isn't complete. The state owes the Marine Corps an entry on the northern side of the installation, through which deliveries will be made. Planning for that entry, designed to keep large trucks away from the headquarters building, has been underway and includes extending Paterson Road into the Marine installation, officials have said.

Okay, I'll admit it. When I first became a paranormal investigator I was excited by all the orbs I was catching. It was a while before someone disabused me of the notion that any round thing in a photo was a paranormal orb. Now I'm one of the biggest orb skeptics... however I think that 1 in 1,000 (if not more) 'orbs' could POSSIBLY be something significant.
You'll find different beliefs in orbs out there. From "look at all these orbs" all the way to "there's no such phenomena."
This month the Paranormal Citings groups discuss their beliefs in orbs. Here is what I asked them:
What does your group as a whole think about orbs? Please expound.
Do you have any tips for debunking orbs as bugs, dust, moisture and light refractions?
If your group does believe orbs can be evidence - how can you tell a true orb apart from an "orb" that is a bug, dust, moisture or light refraction?
I also asked the groups to share any photos if they were willing, so you might see some here or there.
If you have an active paranormal group that would like to participate in this blog then e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Become a fan of Paranormal Citings on Facebook and get updates on which group gets posted when. Just do a search for Paranormal Citings.

The so-called Super Committee in Congress proved to be something far different than its name suggested. There was nothing "super" about it. The panel folded last week without completing its assigned task of finding $1.2 trillion in debt reduction over a decade — just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the nation's mammoth spending obligations.
The failure allows both parties to enter the election year pointing to the perceived weaknesses of their opponents. Democrats will decry the inability of Republicans to raise taxes. Republicans will say that Democrats were too unwilling to cut cherished spending, entitlement programs especially.
Both will be right, in some measure. But none will be righteous.
The Super Committee's failure is the triumph of politics over problem-solving. The result is yet more uncertainty for a country that needs reassurance that its mounting national debt can be controlled by leaders in Washington. A failure to seriously address those issues will ultimately yield the kind of instability seen in Europe. U.S. economic and military security is on the line. Addressing that problem is first of all the responsibility of President Barack Obama, who has been far too passive in this debate.
From the start, the Super Committee was a chancy proposition — a way of putting off tough decisions that arose from last summer's standoff over raising the debt ceiling. Congress agreed to a gradual increase in the debt ceiling in exchange for cuts to be put in place by the 12-member bipartisan Super Committee. Those potential cuts and revenue increases would be presented to Congress without amendment for an up-or-down vote.
If the committee failed to act, $1.2 trillion in predetermined cuts would automatically go into effect. However, those deep cuts to defense and Medicare, among other programs, were conveniently scheduled to take effect after next year's presidential election, in 2013.
The Super Committee's failure indicates in part a deep philosophical divide about the scope and scale of government. That division, however, does not change the math. The national debt tops $15 trillion. The country can't continue on this budget path much longer without great risk.
Although the Super Committee failed, nothing prevents Congress and the president from striking a grand bargain that addresses the nation's growing debt. Nothing, that is, except a lack of will. The country wants compromise and solutions. Congress and Mr. Obama have delivered more inaction.

The Seattle Seahawks will have a target on their back from the very beginning of the 2014 season, but that won't stop them from continuing the level of excellence that their football team has maintained over the past couple of seasons.
They're in the position to do some extravagant things, but one of the most intriguing possibilities is that Marshawn Lynch may break 2,000 yards rushing this year. He certainly has the talent to do so, and now that Seattle has made some improvements around him, Beast Mode may be able to reach a new level.
A juiced-up passing game and a patched-up offensive line will be two advantages afforded to Lynch in 2014 that he didn't have in 2013, and could be the key to him hitting that milestone.
It will be interesting to see how things play out, but that's not the only exciting thing that the Seahawks could accomplish this year.

Reese Witherspoon believes it is important to "self-promote" and be confident as a successful woman but you must be wary of going too far and becoming "arrogant".
The 37-year-old actress- who was arrested for disorderly conduct earlier this month after drunkenly asking police if they knew who she was when they stopped her husband Jim Toth for driving under the influence (DUI)- believes there is still a tendency for high-achieving females to be too modest when they should be proud of their accomplishments.

Fully automated trading recently arrived to the suite of Trade-Ideas tools. We do this by first implementing a strategy created and backtested via The OddsMaker. Then we execute the strategy rolling forward via an API (Application Programming Interface) connected directly to the broker dealer. Our software, called "The Robot" sends market orders to buy, takes profits when needed, and manages risk with stop-loss orders.
Observations: Critical to be in the Top Right Quadrant
What does that mean? Stop and read our post that explains the meaning of this image.
- It is critical to create a strategy that has both a high win-to-loss ratio as well as a big difference in winning trades versus losing trades.
- Make sure that the strategy is one that you can actually follow. In fully automated mode we have the benefit of computer based executions, but with traders who use only The OddsMaker without the automated trading, it is difficult to follow a strategy that calls for an entry into 10 stocks in the same minute. Please consider all of these things when designing systems.
- Risk management ensures survival. Odds attempt to describe a probable outcome with certainty - but never in absolute terms. Each morning compare your previous day's results with The OddsMaker results we've just added overnight, see if there is big difference and if so, try to find out why. Remember that we are here to help. If you are using a strategy and your results are not what you are expecting, STOP. Talk to us and let us help you figure out where there is a problem. One on one training is available.

Clay Aiken announces he is running for U.S Congress
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 02/05/2014
Clay Aiken
has announced he is running for U.S. Congress.
Aiken, who finished second on
American Idol
second season and has become a gay activist after coming out several years ago, announced on Wednesday he is officially running as a Democratic candidate for Congress in North Carolina.
Aiken will make a bid to represent North Carolina's second congressional district in the U.S. House, E! News
The seat Aiken is running for is currently taken by Republican Renee Ellmers. North Carolina Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco may reportedly give the singer a run for his money in addition to Toni Morris, a licensed professional counselor, in the Democratic primary.
Reports Aiken was "
actively considering
" becoming a candidate first surfaced early last month.
The North Carolina primary is set for May 6 and the filing deadline is February 28.
In his first campaign video obtained by E! News, the Broadway star and runner-up of
The Celebrity Apprentice's
fifth season shared a little bit of his life story and summed up his political stance. Aiken insists he's not a politician but would rather just like to invoke some change, especially when it comes to the government's involvement with the military.
The Raleigh native's speech, entitled "Open Door," is as follows:
"I was 1-year-old, and my mother knocked on that door with only a diaper bag, the clothes on our backs and me in her arms. She needed a place to stay where she could escape from my father and start a new life. And she found that place here, in the home of a friend. For eight months we stayed in this living room and slept in a mattress on the floor. A tarp hung around the bed for privacy. I'm
Clay Aiken
, and I don't remember that time. Mom thinks that's for the best," Aiken explained.
"My father could be a violent man, who would get drunk and angry, and decide that Mom was the reason for the pain in his life. I saw later, when I was older, the pictures of her bruised face and blackened eyes in police photographs. In some ways this is where my life really began, on the floor of a living room in a small North Carolina home, where my mother and I only had each other. And she protected me, not just from my father, but from as many harsh realities as she could. And more often that not, she'd distract me with music."
"So much of who I am was shaped in those early years, and it's part of why I decided to run for Congress. I've been fortunate in my life, and if you only know the part of my story that begins with a golden ticket -- something that still seems unbelievable to me even to this day -- you might wonder what would qualify me to run. Well, it starts with a life I remember all too well: Mom working nights at Sears, clothes from the thrift store, Christmases where I might only get one small present -- that would make it a present I would cherish."
Aiken continued, "And school was the only chance I had to pull myself up, to achieve a dream I long held, to teach, to reach children like me and those who faced even more adversities than I did. For most Americans, there are no golden tickets -- at least not like the kind you see on TV. More families are struggling today than at any time in our history, and here in North Carolina, we've suffered more than our share of pain."
"The years I spent as a special education teacher for students with autism was my first window into the difference a person can make in someone's life. Then it was the years I spent with UNICEF, traveling to places of heartbreak, like the war zones of Afghanistan and Somalia, where families had been torn apart and hope was sometimes hard to find. I'm a Democrat, but it's when I was appointed by President Bush to serve on a special presidential commission to address the educational challenges of children with special needs. That was when I first realized that our problems won't be solved by only one party or the other, but instead, it's going to require all of us."
"My faith taught me to see the good in others, and the district where I'm running is represented by a Congresswoman who I believe went to Washington with good intentions. I'd like to believe people don't go there with anything else. But even though she knew that voting for massive cuts to the military was bad for our country and our district, she voted for them anyway, 10 times, after her party leaders told her to. And when her party leaders told her to vote for the government shutdown, she did, 21 times, even though she herself said it would be a disaster for the economy. And then she complained that she needed her paycheck."
"These folks hurt Carolina, they hurt our military readiness, and they led to thousands of civilians in Fort Bragg being furloughed. Cuts to childcare for 5,000 children who live on base, cuts to medical and dental clinics, and to counseling and survivor outreach for families of fallen warriors. Even free phone calls so families could call soldiers serving in Afghanistan were cut back. This is what's wrong with Washington, that a Congresswoman would go there and vote against the best interests of North Carolina military families and those who depend on the military for their jobs. To do it when you know it's wrong is even worse, and to do it because your national party told you to, well, that's what in the end convinced me that if I didn't try to do something about it, then I couldn't complain if no one else did," Aiken explained.
"I'm not a politician -- I don't ever want to be one. But I do want to help bring back, at least to my corner of North Carolina, the idea that someone can go to Washington to represent all the people, whether they voted for you or not. And maybe we can play a small part in igniting that change across the rest of our country. This is why I'm running for Congress. And in the weeks and months ahead, I'll need your help. We can all be like that friend who took my mother and me in, a friend who shelters those in their time of need, and who helps open a door to a new life and a renewed country for all of our people. Thank you for watching and God bless you all."
