Point of view
by Prof. Ranjith PREMALAL DE SILVA
Prof. Ranjith Premalal de Silva
World Environment day was celebrated last week with wide publicity.
Serious discussions surfaced as to whether our approach was for mere
celebrations in commemorating a global day or to help society and the
nation to add value in nature conservation or in improving natural
resource use efficiency without harming the environment.
Water being one of the most important natural resources related to
environment, needs to be managed properly for the present use and be
protected for the future generations. Among the water sector
institutions, National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWS&DB) is the
key main player related to domestic water use. It should be acknowledged
that the quality of water supplied by the NWS&DB is well above the
accepted standards for drinking water.
The reliability of the service and the maintenance of networks and
metering devices are also commendable. However, it is doubtful whether
the NWS&DB has a vision for water resources conservation and getting
public awareness and participation for such national endeavours. NWS&DB
should sponsor programs for watershed conservation, pollution
prevention, water use efficiency improvement and safe water disposal
mechanisms and should solicit public interest in conserving water
NWS&DB has failed to take effective measures to reduce the
non-revenue water which exceeds 40 percent on average. To recover the
cost of the operations and maintenance including the waste of 40
percent, NWS&DB conveniently puts the burden on consumers who use the
remaining 60 percent of water.
High salaries are paid for the top management of NWS&DB from the
collected revenue from consumers to manage the services efficiently and
the public should instigate action to make these high wage earners to be
responsible for public funds. In addition, NWS&DB should not limit its
services only to introduce a water sanitation policy but should also
take the initiative to invest for implementing proper water hygiene,
health and sanitation practices in our society.
Large scale sanitation projects are initiated and recommended by the
NWS&DB in view of the benefits that can be derived from these large
scale activities. A considerable amount of resources has been dedicated
to promote sanitation awareness in society, rather than wasting
resources on ineffective publicity programs.
This can be introduced to the primary schoolchildren with very little
cost. As a responsible State sector entity, the NWS&DB should work with
a prudent vision to develop the water sector rather than limiting its
scope to a profit oriented business ventures.
Running an NGO in the water sector is a very profitable business
since the international funding for water sector organisations are in
abundance. Some NGOs are flooded with funds to initiate their action
plans to advise the government to introduce water pricing and use
economic instruments to manage water. On top of the range of star hotels
are the venues for discussions/ workshops to develop strategies for
advocating how the poor subsistence farmers can be taxed for the
irrigation water under the guise of water conservation. The same group
employs another agency under cover to launch a poster campaign in the
city against such workshops claiming that the agenda at these workshops
are a conspiracy to sell public owned water to the public.
These efforts are complemented by innocent socialist activist groups
who do not understand the hidden agenda behind such efforts. There are a
number of national and international organisations involved in the water
sector, which anticipate crisis in water management, promote conflicts
in water uses and users, and deliver programs posing a grave danger not
only to the water security but also to the coexistence of our society
and the nation. It is timely that we look at the agenda of these actors
very closely to prevent them turning our water sector into a disaster.
In the recent past, discussions were facilitated based on one
individual's own research output to prove that paddy farming is not
profitable and farmers must opt for other cash crops to sustain farm
income. This effort is to prevent us having our staple food produced and
consumed in the country. Recent genuine advocacy efforts on the quality
of our rice due to contamination by water polluted with pesticide
residues can also be manipulated by interested parties to campaign
against the consumption of rice.
All these avenues create an environment to display the conflicts and
chaos in the water sector and then highlight the need of their presence
to resolve the burning issues which are shown to be beyond the control
of the Government. Concepts of virtual water imports and exports are
often misinterpreted to ascertain the need for diversified agriculture
deviating from paddy farming.
During the previous regimes, the NGO battalions were very powerful in
the political arena also due to their lavish spending on the corrupt
politicians and often got commended for their services in the water
sector. However, with the prudent policies of the "Mahinda Chintana"
identify the approaches and framework for water management.
A number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) is associated with
bogus water professionals in exploiting research grants and aid packages
from international donor agencies. Further, because of the global
accreditation of these agencies due to the adherence to the neo-colonial
agenda, local political patronage and specific involvements in
trans-boundary issues at regional level, invitations for participation
at international fora are always extended to these individuals and
global funding resources are generally reserved for these individuals.
A summer holiday in Sweden every year during the Stockholm world
water week is mandatory in their personal calendar in the guise of
presenting our water sector problems to the international stakeholders.
However, both these NGO and INGO groups have no justifiable claim to
share the sentiments of the water environment today since they have
never instigated a true dialogue with the local stakeholders in the
Development of a water policy for the country is another area where
these NGOs show their dominance. Efforts for introducing a viable policy
framework for the country were hampered by the activities of these NGO
groups or bogus water professionals sponsored by these groups. In place
of a comprehensive national water policy for the country they managed to
flabbergast the water sector with a number of fragmented policy outlines
such as drinking water policy, water sanitation policy, rain water
harvesting policy, water resources policy where each policy contradicts
the others to play havoc in the legislature.
Gender issues in the water sector are other hot themes where several
NGOs claim their stake in supporting society for gender equality. In our
society, we do not find serious problems unique to women. Some NGOs
fraudulently claim to be devoted to gender equity in the water sector
and highlight the isolated incidents in the rural society and receive
remittances from foreign donors for their activities which in fact
create social problems and become a menace to the values and norms of
the rural society. In water education too, the role of gender has been
over-emphasized on many occasions and special funding provisions are
made available to females for water studies.
Climate change research is also a very attractive research zone for
pseudo water professionals. The importance of climate change in
sustainable agriculture production for food security has been a
prioritised theme for funding. In combatting problems created due to
change in climate, it is of utmost importance to understand the true
status of climate change with respect to observed changes in the climate
in Sri Lanka. It has been a common observation that most of the local
climate change research makes an attempt to prove the hypotheses of
global climate change trends through a variety of methodological
Some of the research studies are the efforts of downscaling global
climate change and general circulation models to represent Sri Lanka
ignoring the impact of local and regional phenomenon on our climate.
In most of these models, the diversity of climate within the country
is summarised into a few categories to represent only a few zones for
the entire country. The strength that the diversity of climate inherits
is often ignored in interpreting the results of these downscaled
Precipitation is highly variable in time and geographic location and
the prediction of this critical variable by global models tends to be
inadequate for use in evaluating the national consequences of
precipitation changes on water resources. Different modelling approaches
provide considerable variability in the results which cannot be combined
to derive any meaningful predictions for the future, while the cost
amounts to a colossal sum spent by the researchers.
In addition, evidence for the analysis of climatological time series
and forecasting for long term futuristic climate status through
extension of records of a very short period is commonly experienced in
evaluating our local climate change studies. Time series expansion is a
commonly used approach where attempts are made to evaluate some vital
parameters from a limited data series to make a forecast for a totally
different period in future.
The NGO sector has taken an unprecedented upper hand in dealings in
the water sector due to the poor coordination of State actors
responsible for the water sector in the country. There are a large
number of State organisations operating with mandated activities in the
water sector.
These include the Water Supply and Drainage Board, Water Resources
Board, Irrigation Department, Mahaweli Development Authority, Department
of Agriculture, Central Environmental Authority, Coast Conservation
Department, Urban Development Authority, Agrarian Development Authority
and Meteorological Department. However, most of these institutions work
in isolation and there is no national plan implemented to organise
coordinated activities among these institutions aiming at overall
improvement in the water sector.
"Mahinda Chintana" Vision for the Future provides a sustainable
platform understanding the historical perspectives, ground realities and
future trends and scope to launch the much needed national coordination
efforts for the water sector. It is the responsibility of the water
sector professionals to launch such a comprehensive coordination network
for the water sector of the country.

I went to play care for a few days and I love to go play with my big furry pals there. I was there for 4 days in a row and mom sends me when she needs to socialize a foster. She says it helps them when I go; it makes them feel more secure. Hey! I'm willing! Everything went well and I was happy to be back home everyday. I was there yesterday also and when I came back, everything was normal.
This morning, I got out of my bed to go outside and again, everything was fine. I got back in house, got on my recliner and started to cry. I was whining and mom came to check me out. I was holding my left hind leg in a way to protect it and I was trying to lick it. Mom got worried and touched it. No problem, I let her. I jumped when she trying to move my hip.
She is worried that I have twisted something in my leg or that I am starting to have osteoarthritis in my hip. I had surgery when I was 1 1/2 years old because my previous owner had broken my hip and leg with a baseball bat. Mom is worried that even though I had the surgery 6 years ago, it is causing me problems now.
Please pray that my leg will get better. I will not walk on it at all right now as it is too painful. Mom gave me a dose of painkiller today to take the edge off and she will take me to the vet tomorrow to have my leg and hip x-rayed.
Maddie Schnoodle
In June 2005, we received a call from the shelter letting us know they had gotten a dog from a police officer who took her away from her owner. Maddie was rescued by police officers who caught her previous owner in the act of stabbing her. She has been badly abused and couldn't use her left back leg, as she had an old fracture and her muscles were atrophied. Still she was trying to run away from him. She was taken to a shelter and was spayed there, even though she hadn't emptied her bowels in a while. She was rescued and taken to a pet hospital where she had FMO surgery and treatment for Sarcophic Mange.
Regardless, Maddie was sweet and kind to everyone willing to give her a bit of love. We went to visit her daily at the pet hospital and volunteered to foster her. Of course, we fell in love with her and we bonded almost immediately. We have been doing physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for a year (which she hated!) to help her recover the use of her leg. Maddie has been doing a lot of progress; she is actually doing so well that she now is able to stand on her back legs and look over the fence!
Maddie is now part of the family as we adopted her. On top of everything she was dealing with, she was also heartworm positive. She had to go through heartworm treatment twice as the first one was not successful. We switched to a new vet and the treatment was effective the second time. She is now living a disease free life, and runs like a pro on her 4 legs and is our joy! She is the sweetest and most faithful and reliable giant. She is a very affectionate girl and loves her siblings. Whenever she feels something is not right, she protects her siblings, furry and human bravely. Her favorite activities are to chase squirrels and go out for her daily walks with us. She also enjoys car rides and tag along every I can take her.
Maddie, you are my wonder dog. After all you went through, you deserved a good life based on love and trust. Whenever I don't feel good, you are always the first to come to me and rest your head on my lap. Your eyes tell me how much you love me and you are faithful to me. I love you silly my big Schnoodle girl.
I am so happy today! My buddy Babybear, that very special little Yorkie has been chosen Dog of the Week on Dogster! What a cool choice. Babybear is one of these exceptional pups who live with a disability and who are so determined to live life to the fullest. Yep, I admit it; we have a very soft spot in our doggy heart for Babybear. He is definitely one of my heros.
Babybear has AAI and tells all about it on his page. Go check it out!
Babybear's page
Way to go Babybear!
We love you silly!

Some interesting 2012 Internet usage statistics have been moving around the blogosphere this week. One that stood out was that North America has the highest Internet penetration of any region in the world. 78.6% have access.
Kudos to us!
So what are you going to do to use all this Internet? Start a business? How about watch a movie. Or call your Mother. Or maybe you should complete that research paper from 11th grade history that you never turned in.
We know statistics like this can be so helpful in understanding some of the more complex elements of American broadband usage, access, and value. So start looking out for more blog posts, Tweets, and Facebook Updates about the story that data tells us about broadband and cable. You'll find it along with our new data hashtag, #broaddata
And if there's a particular piece of broadband or cable data that you'd like to see, you can ask us! We'll do the best we can to get it to you.

I haven't seen a bad CSB on an xi, but I assume that's caused by driving around a car with a bad TC mount. You shouldn't need to touch the CSB on a BMW that's not an e39 540 for at least 200k miles. Unless you drive around with failed mounts.
Correct. Nah I figured there is no repair faires coming around to fix stuff so I'll let it be. But I didn't order it because at the time I was doing the work it was cold (Canadian climate) and ordering it would of taken 2 weeks (Canadian shipping process) . I was a bit on a time constraint but I will certainly get to it now (Spring 2013).
So you think it would do the trick Kubica?

The Importance of Credit
Have you ever wondered why you were turned down for an apartment? Or why you did not receive a job offer you applied for, even though you thought you had nailed the interview? Perhaps it was due to your credit record. Yes, you read correctly -- credit record.
What most people do not realize is that landlords, insurance companies, and employers -- not just banks -- check credit records. Your credit report allows these companies to look into your personal spending habits, your payment history, whether you have been sued, and whether you have declared bankruptcy.
Having a good credit history is an important part of maintaining a happy, healthy, and financially fit life. A credit report is used as a future indicator of your credit worthiness, as it reveals pertinent information about your past and present payment patterns. A credit report shows whether you pay your bills on time and what existing loans you currently have. If you have paid your bills on time in the past, this is a good indication to all that you will do the same in the future. If you have problems paying bills on time (you forget to write a check for the monthly electric bill, phone bill, and credit card bill), it indicates that more than likely, you will also have a problem paying the monthly rent or monthly car payment. Landlords do not want to lease an apartment to a tenant with a shaky credit history. Likewise, an employer may not want to hire someone who does not demonstrate financial responsibility and maturity.
So you may be asking yourself, what is a credit report and how do I get a copy? Your credit report is essentially your credit history. The credit report details what credit cards you have open, what type of loans you have (school loans, mortgages, car loans), how long you have had the loans, and the amount of the outstanding balances (i.e. what is still unpaid). The credit report lists not only credit card debt, but also lists debt from utility companies, phone companies, hospitals, banks, etc. The credit report then uses these facts to generate your credit score. A computer-based program then derives your credit score by using numerous factors in a complex formula. The computer takes into account factors such as how long it takes to pay your bills, how much debt you have, the number of inquiries into your credit history, liens, and bankruptcies. The computer spits out a three-digit number, typically between 500-800, which is entered on the report. The higher the number, the better the score.
Unfortunately, you cannot see your credit score. Your credit score is available to creditors and lenders only. However, you can pull your credit report. You should pull your credit report at least once every two years to check for errors. You can request your report at a cost of $8.50 from one of three major credit bureaus: Equifax (800-685-1111), Experian (888-397-3742), and TransUnion (800-888-4213). Once you pull the report, look for inaccuracies such as accounts that do not belong to you, mistakes made by your creditors, companies that have requested your report without your permission. If you notice any errors, immediately report them to the credit bureaus.
The Road to Good Credit
Now that you understand why credit is so important, let's discuss how to establish good credit. In order to establish good credit, you need a good credit history. But to have a good credit history, you need to establish good credit. It is kind of like trying to find your first job -- employers want experienced applicants but since this is your first job, you have to work first before you can have experience. Sound like Catch-22? You may be right. But don't worry, it is not as difficult as it seems.
Here are some tips on how to establish good credit without a credit history:
- Open a bank account, whether it is a savings account, a checking account, or both. Be sure to handle the account responsibly and do not bounce checks.
- If you have services in your name, such as the electric, gas, and phone services, pay your bills in full and on time. And when you move, close the account. Do not let your roommate assume the bill from you because you are the only one responsible as long as the bill is in your name.
- Apply for a credit card. Use it sparingly and be sure to pay the card on time. If you cannot pay the full amount due, make at least the minimum payment. If you do not pay your credit card bills on time, you will be doing the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve, which is establishing a good credit history.

Power Outage Hits Cathedral City, Palm Springs
CATHEDRAL CITY - A total of 763 customers were without power today due to an electrical outage in Cathedral City and parts of Palm Springs.
Lois Pitter Bruce of Southern California Edison said the affected customers were mostly in northwest Cathedral City. She said power initially went out for about 1,400 customers at 11:54 a.m., but power was restored for about half of them by shortly after noon.
There was no estimate for when all power would be restored, and the cause of the outage was being investigated.
``We're working to get the power back quickly so we haven't isolated the specific cause yet,'' she said.
The remaining outage was affecting people roughly between Sunny Dunes Road and McCallum Way from San Luis Rey Drive to Avenida El Pueblo.
The earlier power outage bordered Gene Autry Trail on the west, which runs adjacent to Palm Springs International Airport.

Loss of voting privileges comes with the territory, and rightfully so.
We must restore them to full citizenship after they've paid their debt to society.
Once they have served their time they should be able to vote
Finished your sentence, including parole time, you should automatically get ALL your rights back
Committed the crime, served the time, paroled and good citizen.
don't know enough
some rights should be restored
they should have voting rights
definitely should have their right to vote returned even while incarcerated
Felons lack respect for the laws of this country they are fortunate enough to be living in. I would not want their "judgement" used in such major decisions as voting. NO, to felons being allowed to vote.
If a prisoner has served his/her term, I fully believe that person deserves the right to vote.
That prisoners are imprisoned, i.e., that they have had nearly all of their freedom to act as they wish confiscated, is punishment enough. Those who have served their sentences have already paid in full their putative debt to the larger society. Therefore, both groups should be allowed to vote.
The people who should not be allowed to vote are the criminals we have in the Congress & "religious" leaders who instruct their churches on the 'proper' way to vote!
There is clearly no reason to not allow a felon who is released not to vote and as far as I can see,no reason not to let all felons vote. They've probably got more at stake than most of us.
They should be allowed to vote after they have completed probation or parole.
Millions of jailed inmates, imprisoned prisoners are illegally denied the right to vote based on not having exhausted their final appeals, thus no final or due conviction. All inmates, prisoners, parolees, and ex-prisoners in California should have the franchise based on the following: 1. In 1849 California was admitted to the Union as a Free State with the following State Constitutional Article 1, Section 18: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, UNLESS FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIMES, shall ever be tolerated in this State." (caps added) One hundred and sixty-two (162) years ago, this Amendment successfully halted the expansion of Southern 'chattel slave territory' to California, it certified California as a new FREE STATE, and it provided FOR BOTH "Slavery" and "Involuntary Servitude… FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIMES…" (2) In 1975 this then 124 year slavery proviso was replaced with Article 1, Section 6, Declaration of Rights (1974/75): "Slavery is prohibited. Involuntary Servitude is prohibited EXCEPT TO PUNISH CRIME." So, while "…Slavery…to punish crime…" was prohibited in 1975, it was not abolished with the return of Citizenship rights to prisoners, including the right to vote. Therefore, California prisoners remain Slaves without the basic Citizenship right to vote. Both historically and contemporarily Slaves have never if rarely had the right to vote. So it is today in California, prisoner slaves do not have enforceable voting rights. California has been unconstitutionally holding prisoners as Slaves of the state for the past 36 years without the American Citizenship Right to Vote. Where in history have slaves had the right to vote? Vermont and Maine are rarities.
I think that people who have served their sentences should be free to resume full rights of citizenship, including voting,
If they've paid their dues to society they should all get the vote back.
All should have the right to vote.
Every US Citizen in America should be able to vote incarcerated or not!
If they finish their time and any probation or parole required, they should be able to vote. That's their right as citizens.
not sure about currently imprisoned people, but once out, even on parole and probation, they should be encouraged to vote because that's what responsible citizens do.
They served their time and paid their debt to society. They should be allowed to vote, work, attend school, marry, have kids, etc.
I think Felons in prison should have their right to vote suspended but that only Public Office or Campaign Crimes should have a lifetime bar.
If they have not been convicted of a sex offense, wanton homicide or treason their voting rights should be restored after a first time conviction. More than that, no second chances.
If our prisons are designed for rehabilitation, and they have been released back into society, they should be allowed to vote.
All should be allowed to vote.
If rehabiliation is an objective, granting/ensuring suffrage to all is a means of saying all have a stake in their country and community.
No voting rights for a convicted felony.
Prisoners and parolees – rights suspended until completion of the term of sentence. Formerly incarcerated — NO VOTING RIGHTS EVER FOR CHILD ABUSE OR MURDER OR CORPORATE FELONIES. Victimless crimes – rights restored.
I think that the formerly incarcerated definitely should have voting rights after completing the requirements of their sentences. I am less sure about prisoners but parolees should be able to vote as well as people on probation.
Voting Rights should have nothing to do with criminal convictions.
I believe that felons can earn back their rights by completing their period of probation.
It is my opinion that Felony are still citizens of the United States and they should be able to vote just as we are allowed to do! In Illinois Felonies are allowed to vote.
They should be allowed to vote. If they can vote, they will have more of a stake in the system and be less likely to be alienated and confirmed in criminal behavior. Also, much of legislation is directed at how convicted felons are treated. They should have a say in that.
Those who have completed probation should be able to vote.
Prisoners should have the right to vote in their home state, county and city by absentee ballot. No citizen should lose the right to vote.
They should have all voting rights after completing their punishment
Once they have served their time or other obligations, all should have their full rights of citizenship restored, including voting rights.
All US citizens should have the right to vote!
Until they have completed probation
If the person is in jail, he should not be able to vote unless he is there only pending charges and hasn't made bail. After the person has served their sentence in full and completed probation and/or parole, their voting rights should be restored as they will have paid their debt to society. Prisoners lose many rights being incarcerated. The right to vote is one they should lose for committing serious crimes against the nation's citizens.
I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I see it as a fitting punishment. On the other, so many people are wrongly incarcerated that it feels unjust.
Many of the people should not BE in prison. We need to reform the justice system because the current one teaches people who would not be jailed in other countries to become career criminals. We also need proper full time courses in life skills and job training for people in prisons. Career criminals in prison, especially those with a history of violence, should not vote. All others should have the opportunity.
After they've done their time, they should be able to vote.
I think that every U.S. citizen should be allowed to register and vote regardless of their status as a prisoner, on parole, on probation, or formerly incarcerated.
Everyone should have the right to vote.
No vote to dirt bags. Felonies are MAJOR crimes.
Depends. Most prisoners should not lose their right to vote, but loss of voting rights probably should be part of the sentence given to criminals who have violated the law regarding political participation, bribing politicians or fraudulent voting or such like. But that would individualize the denial, it should not be a blanket thing.
Yes, they are still citizens
Except those fairly and accurately deemed mentally incompetent, everyone should be allowed to vote.
I tried to answer the questions, and it didn't work. I think Calif's policy is reasonable, but many who have completed parole are unaware that they can now vote.
Since a small petty-theft during probation can turn into a felony. And people with way bigger crimes have the means to slip through without conviction, it is absolutely ridiculous to take away voting-rights for someone who has a felony in his history after having served his time or payed the restitution-fine.
people make mistakes…voters make mistakes…if you are a US citizen you should be allowed to vote.
We have become one of the most repressive states among the more developed countries in the world. We need to back off and look at first, putting fewer people in prison, especially for nonviolent crimes and then focus on rehabilitation again. Granting offenders the right to vote right along reminds them — and us — that they are citizens, too.Click here for reuse options!

I got submuscular 500cc silicone implants. Had deflated b cups before. My implants are sitting almost perfect only two weeks after surgery does that mean they won't hold up and my boobs will start sagging in 5-10 years?
Will my Implants Sag Since They Were Perfect a Little over a Week After my Ba?
Doctor Answers 9
Will my Implants Sag
Breast implants do not protect against time and gravity. Ptosis (sagging) occurs to women with and without implants. Larger implants are an added risk factor. Be sure to wear proper support especially when exercising.
Congratulations on a nice result, best wishes.
Settling of breast implants
Your breasts will not sag but your implants will settle over time. Your nipples will always be a bit perky and not point toward the floor. The skin stretches modrately over the years.
Talmage Raine MD FACS
Maintaining good breast shape following breast augmentation
Every one wants their implants to be up and in but due to time weight and gravity implants tend to settle down and out. Over time the implants and alas the breasts will sag as you loose some degree of skin elasticity. Using a good support bra will help.

Gravity is one of those things that never "takes a break!"
First of all, congratulations on your new look! Enjoy the fruits of your surgeon's skills and your choosing to undergo this procedure. Let's not dwell too much on negative thoughts when you should be feeling good right now, rather than worrying about what unknowns may come!
That being said, gravity, time, and aging occur for all of us, and large(r) breasts will be affected by these things more than small(er) breasts! However, your implants will not sag or deform over time, and the scar capsule your body forms around breast implants adds a bit of internal support to your breasts (especially as compared to, say, a clone of you with identical-size breasts without implants).
There is no way for you to tell what time, gravity, and your skin collagen and elastic fiber genetics will do for your breast appearance (or your facial appearance in 20 or 30 years)! Your breasts may still look fabulous in 5-10 years, or they may droop and sag some or a lot! Keeping fit, not gaining weight, and not getting pregnant or breast feeding will all help your breasts stay youthful as long as your genetics allow! But every patient is different.
The fact that you had "deflated B cups before" is one hint that your skin elasticity is not as good as some women's, and that may explain why you look good so soon after breast augmentation. But it may also provide a preview of what you might expect as time goes by, and why you are asking this quite-reasonable question!
Still, regardless of what time and gravity bring, you are wise to wear supportive bras, particularly when exercising, jogging, or riding a horse, etc. Gravity never rests, and you cannot change your personal genetics. Be glad you have the results you do, and hope that time is kind to you. If not, there are plenty of ABPS-certified plastic surgeons "standing by" to help you with whatever is needed at whatever future brings! Best wishes and Happy New Year!

"Sagging" after Breast Augmentation?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.
At this point, I think that you should enjoy your "almost perfect" breast implant positioning. The results at this point do not necessarily correlate to any "sagging" that may occur in the future. In other words, there is nothing in your description that raises concerns about the appearance of the breasts in the future.
Enjoy the results of the procedure.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_breastAugmentation.htm
This does not mean you will sag, or bottom out. You just have to wait and see.The scar that forms around your implant will help to hold it in place.
Implants and droop
If patients have sagging or deflated breasts, often the implants sit nicely after surgery. Those that have tighte skin often take a while for the implants to settle.
Implant sagging
In most of cases implants sags a little over time. However it is impossible to determine the speed or severity for that. The biggest the implant, more chances for sagging. This will depend on the quality of your tissues and if you wear or not the bra every day.
Breast Droop After Implants
Breasts over 5 of 10 years droop even without implants. Implants hasten the droop. The larger the implant the faster the droop. If your breasts look great 2 weeks after surgery that does not mean that they will droop faster over time. This is based on your tissues and their relative strength.

It was back in February when her minimal, unpretentious folk tunes first caught our interest, then we heard the slight, nostalgic song No Scholar, and now we're hooked. Today, Dacus shared a video of a new song, Map On A Wall. The clip was filmed and edited by Mackenzie Werner and Craig Zirpolo and features Dacus performing on a rooftop in Richmond, VA. The cloudy, end-of-day atmosphere matches the song's bruised, sparse instrumentation and Dacus's sweet, unornamented vox. Check it out below.

Date of Stay: June, 2010
Head and shoulders above any other RV park in the area. We have stayed here the last 3 year for 1 month or more. Only down side is only 2 washer/dryers for a 50 site plus park. Will stay here every time we are in the area. A must stay if you are in the area. Recommend you make reservations in peak season.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Under new management and things are being done to improve the park. Small patio pads. Stayed for a month. Not a great place to stay but overall not bad. All sites and roads are gravel. Picnic tables not out yet, only two washers and dryers, work OK. Friendly staff. As an overnight park is great.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Great park for snowbirds. A 55+ park. We spent 5 months and plan on going again. Very friendly park with great staff and management. Close to Tucson and Phoenix. All kinds of activities and something for everyone. Activities well planned and carried out. A must stay if you are in the area.

I'm not one who responds to ignorant criticisms of me or my work, but when Editi Effiong who's not a 'tech blogger' said that Nigerian technology bloggers are not relevant, it becomes necessary to put things in proper perspective.
First, technology blogging in Nigeria is still in its early days and as a pioneering blogger in the Nigerian technology space, I've always felt that I'm still scratching the surface. Just imagine how covering a budding startup 'industry' (use that word loosely) with little or no stories to tell has been since April 2008! For me, it's been a fun and challenging ride!
Second, that I'm a technology blogger doesn't mean that I'm obligated to cover every single tech story or topic. As a matter of fact, I started blogging to cover and profile startups and Internet companies, NOT report on the telecom industry. CP Africa recently said that "it is virtually impossible to think of startups and Nigeria without thinking of Loy Okezie."
So does my focus on startups and Internet companies make me an irrelevant technology blogger?
Third, I run the biggest and most popular technology news blog in Nigeria. We break the biggest stories around Internet companies, startups and innovations with worldwide exclusives. We also publish news (yes, we even rehash them), insightful opinion and reviews and analysis from time to time around the tech, mobile and broadband space.
So if anyone fails to remember when a Nigerian technology blog delivered really hot 'industry' news, then that person's memory is utterly useless.
On a final note, we're looking for tech reporters and writers who would cover key topical areas we're venturing into in the coming months.
If you want to be relevant as a writer/reporter in Africa's technology startup scene, then let's discuss joining TechLoy.
Oh by the way, we're gonna make those 'iRelevant Blogger' tee-shirts you see up there soon

By Doug Ireland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Numerous Southern New Hampshire towns and school districts are glad they will receive thousands of dollars in insurance reimbursements from the Local Government Center — except for Salem.
The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Salem will not be allowed to intervene in a case before the court that prevents the town from receiving approximately $100,000 owed by the LGC.
Meanwhile, the town of Derry was recently notified it will receive $368,508 and its school system will receive $755,115.
"We are happy we are getting that back," school superintendent Laura Nelson said.
The LGC, which provides health and property liability insurance coverage to communities throughout the state, was ordered by the court last year to refund $53 million to towns and school districts overcharged by the municipal organization.
Those overcharged include Salem, but the town was told it wouldn't receive any money. That's because it withdrew from the LGC more than a year ago because it could obtain more cost-effective insurance coverage through another provider.
The New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation found the LGC violated state law by improperly collecting money and retaining unnecessary surplus funds. The organization also improperly transferred assets, subsidizing one insurance pool at the expense of the others, the bureau said.
The LGC also spent millions of dollars on unauthorized items, the bureau said.
Salem was one of four New Hampshire towns to fight for refunds. Salem Town Manager Keith Hickey was a member of the LGC board until he resigned last winter. The other towns are Durham, Northfield and Peterborough.
"We're not very happy with that," Selectmen's Chairman Everett McBride Jr. said Friday. "The Supreme Court ruled we won't be getting anything. We will continue to work with the other towns."
But the Salem School District — still a member of the insurance pool — recently learned it would receive $757,172. The Salem Housing Authority was granted more than $15,000.
In addition to Salem and Derry, another local school district topping the list was Timberlane, which will get $1,065,848. School Administrative Unit 28 — representing Windham and Pelham — will receive $787,791. The Londonderry School District will get more than $139,000.
Local towns to receive town employee health insurance refunds include: Londonderry, $267,306; Windham, $152,796; Pelham, $127,463; Plaistow, $46,873; Kingston, $38,522; Hampstead, $36,026; Atkinson, $18,426; Danville, $13,916; Newton, $10,595. Some towns also receive reimbursement for dental insurance.
Despite the scandal that plagued the LGC, some town and school district officials said they will continue to buy insurance coverage and legal advice from the organization.
"We will continue to work with them and put in a system to prevent those mistakes from happening," Nelson said.
Danville Selectmen's Chairman Shawn O'Neil said the LGC provides his community with cost-effective insurance coverage and beneficial municipal programs.
"We need to do our due diligence to make sure they do what's legal, but they do bring a lot to the plate," he said. "We turn to them a lot of times. We don't have the support staff."
LGC executive director George Bald, who joined the organization in February, said he is committed to making sure communities and school districts are getting the best possible service.

Displaced workers, returning vets sought for high-tech training on the way to high-pay jobs
Grant dollars flowing into Central Lakes College are going to help veterans and displaced workers train for good-paying manufacturing jobs.
The U.S. Department of Labor awarded Central Lakes College (CLC) and three institutional partners a $13.1 million grant to expand educational opportunity in advanced manufacturing. CLC will get more money than originally projected as it works as consortium leader. Instead of $3.7 million, CLC will receive $5 million with the grant.
The coalition of CLC, St. Cloud Technical and Community College, Pine Technical College and the 360 Degree Center of Excellence at Bemidji State University will train workers for high-wage, high-skill jobs.
Thursday, CLC officials were among those gathered at Wilson Tool in White Bear Lake with Deputy Labor Secretary Seth Harris to highlight the effort at job training partnerships between employers and community colleges.
Jeff Wig, dean of career and technical programs and Staples campus at CLC, said more money was allocated to CLC to cover central costs in running and evaluating the grant.
"Definitely at the Staples campus this is going to be very big," Wig said. "We are going to have two new manufacturing programs over there. We should have 8 to 12 new staff positions for the three-year cycle for the grant at Staples."
For displaced workers laid-off because of the Great Recession, as jobs are lost to overseas competition or for returning veterans making the move to civilian life, the manufacturing jobs provide a welcome wage.
For students, there is also an opportunity to take free classes by using as Rural Minnesota CEP grant to get into pre-manufacturing classes. Those classes are designed to get students into free classes to help them be successful in a manufacturing program. A couple of the free classes are ones required in CLC's manufacturing degrees or programs. The college has been struggling to find people who are interested in taking those free classes.
"It's just hanging out there and free," Wig said, adding people just need to reach out and grab it.
Those free classes could be a stepping stone to a significant paycheck.
At Wilson Tool, Wig said the starting wage is $18 an hour. After a probationary period, those employees can expect to make $23-$25 per hour. And many are also collecting overtime. Jobs in demand include machinists and welders and those from Staples' robotics program.
"It's not unheard of for a machinist after a one-and-a-half-year program to be making $50,000, so there is definitely a quick payback," Wig said. "I think we could have placed everyone of our Staples machinist graduates last year three times. Robotics technicians are the same way."
Machinists, who may find work at Lakeland Mold or Pequot Tool in the lakes area, operate expensive computer controlled metal shaping machines. The machinists program machines for complex cutting and shaping and drilling. Wig said Pequot Tool does that very work for the Desert Eagle pistol.
The college plans to work in general areas such as reverse engineering or rapid prototyping and then meet with the local manufacturing alliance to see what exactly are the needs in the industry. Another area of focus is on the plastics industry, including the manufacturing of metal molds for plastics.
Wig said they want input from the manufacturing alliance to see where the jobs of the future will be.
"Because we have a real singular opportunity to bring some programs on board," Wig said. "It just makes it so much easier for a college to start new programs when you have this level of financial support."
To help reach out to displaced workers, CLC will have at least two people whose job is based on outreach and advising. They'll make connections with work force centers, attend job fairs and work with manufacturers and human resources professionals.
Eight manufacturers in the lakes area — from Crosby, Brainerd, Staples, Pequot Lakes and Little Falls — signed on to provide donations of cash or equipment or staff time to mentor students and to serve on advisory committees to create these programs.
"One company in Staples would like to add an entire second shift," Wig said. "Their challenge right now is they can't get enough people or they would start that expansion right now."
Students with skills will find a lot of employers vying for their talents, Wig said.
"I look at this as an economic development tool. If we can say we have a lot of people interested in manufacturing careers and going for training, that could cause companies to expand here or even locate here because they are looking to find good, trained employees."

About the training effort
■ Consortium members have been working to expand the educated labor pool in direct response to local manufacturing employer needs, with a recent emphasis evolving in the advanced manufacturing arena. The emphasis is on metals manufacturing, plastics and composites, automation technology, and rapid prototyping.
■ The Regional Advanced Manufacturing Retraining (RAMR) program created by the grant aims to counter the loss of jobs that have often moved overseas. More than 8,700 manufacturing workers in Minnesota have either lost their jobs due to foreign trade or are under constant danger of job loss since Jan. 1, 2007.
■ Officials predict RAMR will result in a pool of more than 3,900 high-skilled technicians ready to work throughout Minnesota and two counties in Wisconsin.
■ Through the program, introductory manufacturing courses, adult basic education and college developmental education will be involved to improve student retention and success.
■ Intensive student services will be provided to assist students overcome barriers.
■ Access to introductory courses will be expanded and online courses enhanced in basic manufacturing skills.
■ In addition to the college partners in the grant, 18 regional manufacturing businesses pledged their support in the form of cash, equipment and other support valued at more than $2 million. And, more than 20 other government agencies, school districts and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe also pledged their support.
■ The grant is part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training initiative, which promotes skills development and employment opportunities in fields such as advanced manufacturing, transportation and health care, as well as science, technology, engineering and math careers through partnerships between training providers and local employers.
■ The U.S. Department of Labor is implementing and administering the program in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education.
■ The plan to educate Trade Adjustment Assistance-impacted workers, veterans and other dislocated workers is built around a six-step process, with multiple exit-to-employment points throughout.
■ The grant emphasizes evidence-based program design. CLC and consortium partners are required to collect rigorous student outcome data annually and conduct final evaluations at the end of the grant period to build knowledge about which strategies are most effective in placing graduates in jobs.

The Between reality AdventuresMature
It's about me meeting Atomic betty and Kim and having adventure together because of the portals!
Prologue- A girl will open two blue portals to two cartoon worlds. She'll have adventures, she'll never forget. She will recound them by writing them down. She is speical and has a hint of magic when she speaks.
Chapter one: finding the portals adventure
I had just come back from school and was in my room, when I thought of Kim Possible and Atomic Betty, my two heroes and TV shows. Then for no reason I thought of the W.i.t.c.h's Portals and said "Portals" out loud. Then suddenly two swirly blue portals appeared. One near my poster wall(it had KP on there and AB was on my door) by the door and the other near the window. I walked into the first one and found myself in Middleton, Kim's world.
I then realised that my hands were like Kim's and not how they normal were.(real) Wade had done research on me and told Kim that I was her biggest fan and that she would find me in England. By then I was back in reality because I had walked back out of the portal. Then I went into the other portal which led me to moose jaw heights-Atomic Betty's world.
This time I had hands like Betty's. I think I might have spotted spoilt brat Penelope-black hair, white skin, brown eyes with blue eye shadow wearing a green top and a grey-black skirt- and threw cold water over her and ran back through the portal. Admiral Degil informed Atomic Betty about me and told her to find me and let me join the Galactic guardians.
So both Kim and Atomic Betty somehow located their portal to my world, then eventually ended up in my room.
We used Kim's cool purple car to stop Drakken and Shego from turning everyone into animals. Then we transported(or beamed )up into Betty's starcruiser. Once we were there, I hugged Sparky and x-5. We found Maximus' HQ and stopped him from shooting lasers at Earth with holograms of me, Betty and Kim!
Thanks to Kim's stink formula,Maximus went away. We beamed back into my room, then took photos of the whole gang (including the villains!), then one last photo of just me,Kim and Betty. We said Goodbye and Maximus vowed he would get Me, Atomic Betty and Kim, Drakken vowed that too but with Kim first, then me, then Betty as well as "You think you're all that but you're not!" line.
I closed the Voice-actived portals and went downstairs. Mummy and Daddy sort of wondered where I was and D not bothered a bit. I told them I had been in my room doing stuff.'wink'

I wanna know.....how do you count the hand stitches? Is up and down one stitch, or is up one stitch and down another stitch? I want to see those 12 stitches to the inch if it is up and down, but I guess I would need a magnifying glass. :lol:
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I wanna know.....how do you count the hand stitches? Is up and down one stitch, or is up one stitch and down another stitch? I want to see those 12 stitches to the inch if it is up and down, but I guess I would need a magnifying glass. :lol:
When I took a hand quilting class they said the stitches were counted by putting a ruler down beside the stitching and counting all the stitches that lay within one inch, including those that touch the inch on the ends. That's what I was told, anyway. :-o
Norah...Check out the site I gave to Steve earlier on the one he posted....she has great info and she shows you those stitches as well. I have not reached the 14 to an inch that she shows...so don't sweat it! :D
I have to see this..can you give the link here. can you see them? :roll:
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,,HGTV_22056_58466,00.html Here it is ...just click onto the hints and then open up Didi McElroys Handquilting programs...it is in the first one.
I'm so disappointed! I use Apple computers or a library's. The Simply Quilts webiste (and a lot of others) are not compatable with Apples, and I cannot hear from the library's computers!.
Hey Norah,
How's it?? My sister told me it was the number of loops on the needle, now I don't know about you, but I use the quilting betweens to hand sew everything with, they are the sharpest and they are small. I know I won't be able to for long with arthur and my eyes, but I sure like those needles. ANYWAY, I've not been able to get more than 7 loops on, Sheila (my sister) used to get 9 and 10, but I like seeing the thread loops in the quilt, don't you???
Sorry you couldn't stay the other morning for chat, we had a good one. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!
Finally sitting down to a DSL good time with the quilt show. I learned a lot and need to thank you for steering me in the right direction ladies. Seems I'm not doing half bad after all, and have already learned a trick or two from the shows. Very cool... ten an inch (an even Steven).
I couldn't get it to load and I have DSL! LOL Oh well, I have only handquilted one small project and after doing that, realize I do NOT have that kind of patience! And I'm with Sharon....Arthur and eyes don't help matters in that department!
But I did go check some of my MIL's quilts I have and she is at about 10 an inch.
I got the site to load but yes lots of spam. Got disusted and closed....
I don't exactly know how many per inch, but they are small . I concentrate on even no matter how many there are per......tlcquiltnut

hi, I have a problem for which I am sure STATA has an
easy solution but I couldn't to find it. I hope you can help
Here is what I need to do:
I have a string variable called disease_ICD (oldvar) which has the values of "International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – ICD 9 and ICD 10"
I need to create a new variable disease_ICDgroup (newvar) containing grouped values of disease_ICD (oldvar). The equivalent in EPI INFO is:
. Define newvar TEXTINPUT
. IF(substring(oldvar,1,3)>="001"AND substring(oldvar,1,3)<"799"THEN ASSIGN newvar ="1" END
. IF(substring(oldvar,1,3)>="A00"AND substring(oldvar,1,3)<"U99"THEN ASSIGN newvar ="1" END
. IF(substring(oldvar,1,3)>="800"AND substring(oldvar,1,3)<"999"THEN ASSIGN newvar ="2" END
. IF(substring(oldvar,1,3)>="V00"AND substring(oldvar,1,3)<"Y99"THEN ASSIGN newvar ="2" END
Note: The first three characters from oldvar are the same in all banks (more than 20 banks) which allowed me to create ranges and commands that can be used in all banks.
How do I do this in STATA?
Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger.
