I had a breast reduction on 31 July. I was an 18(40) F with left about half a cup larger than right. I am now a D but the right breast has a sort of flat shape at the bottom and is sitting higher than the left breast which is nicely rounded and healed. The nipple of the right is also sitting slightly higher than the left. Can I expect this to change or improve over time or is this how it will stay? What options are there for correcting the shape and asymmetry?
Asymmetry Post Breast Reduction - Size and Shape?
Doctor Answers 3
Asymmetry post breast reduction
Hi there,
It's just a bit early to be sure about the shape and size at 6 weeks post op. At around 3 months post op, if the asymmetry persists it's likely to be a real asymmetry. These are usually easy to correct at a minor procedure if it persists.
I suggest, review with your surgeon at about 3 months post op and have a discussion about it. Don't worry - you'll either need nothing done or at most a minor correction to even it up.
Good luck.
Breast Asymmetry after Breast Reduction?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the results of surgery in the long-term.
Considering that you're only 6 weeks out of surgery, you will be better off waiting several more months (and even up to one year) before evaluating the end results of surgery. The breasts will undoubtedly change during this period of time ( hopefully for the better as far as symmetry goals).
In the meantime, I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon to communicate your questions/concerns. You should have some peace of mind that, if necessary, revisionary breast surgery is usually ( generally speaking) relatively straightforward/painless.
I hope this helps.

Typically, the breast may take up to 6 months to achieve their final settling position. I would not contemplate any breast revisions until you are at least 6 months out from your surgery.
Shape can significantly improve over that time as the breast drops and or fills out its pocket. If there are asymmetries, discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
There are a variety of options to correct shape and asymmetry. This ranges from fat transfer to further breast lifts and reductions.

The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Friday December 12 2008
Phil Woolas, the immigration minister, did not criticise asylum seekers as we suggested in the article below. He criticised the failure of successive governments, including this one, to administer asylum cases properly and said that this had caused "untold human misery and division within our communities". Our article was phrased in such a way as to suggest that these criticisms were made about him, rather than by him.
Lord Lester's attack on the government's treatment of human rights struck a chord yesterday with lawyers and civil liberties groups who are increasingly frustrated with Labour's record.
The treatment of asylum seekers and policies on equal pay have disappointed some former supporters of the government who feel it is failing on promises to protect the vulnerable and those at risk of discrimination.
"Being nasty to asylum seekers has been a recurring theme, including using forced destitution as a tool of immigration control," said Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty. "It's one of the least talked about but most shameful parts of the New Labour project."
Some critics have claimed the government's treatment of asylum seekers from Zimbabwe is evidence of a lack of serious commitment to human rights. The current policy of denying Zimbabweans asylum but in effect acknowledging they cannot return to their country has been described by MPs and lawyers as creating a Catch 22.
Fiona Mactaggart, a former Home Office minister, said recently that the policy left Zimbabweans in the UK with no prospect of work or income.
Claims that the government has been demonising asylum seekers were also fuelled recently by Phil Woolas, the immigration minister, who suggested they were responsible for "untold human misery and division within our communities".
The government is proposing measures that would restrict the access of asylum seekers to the high court.
"To say that someone who might be granted asylum on appeal is not entitled to that option is to undermine the rule of law," said Leonie Hirst, a barrister specialising in immigration and asylum law. "If the government improved caseworking at the Home Office and applied the law in the first place they wouldn't need to appeal."
The government's record on counter-terrorism has also alienated some former supporters. "The government's proposals for 42 days' detention were an iconic waste of time," Chakrabarti told the Guardian.
Gordon Brown persisted with the proposals to extend the limit on the detention of terror suspects without charge despite pressure from critics including Ken Macdonald, then director of public prosecutions, Stella Rimington, a former MI5 chief, and a cross-party group of MPs and peers, before finally being forced to abandon them in October after an overwhelming defeat in the House of Lords.
The government has nevertheless stated its intention to proceed with the counter-terrorism bill without the 42-days measures, including post-charge questioning and measures for freezing the assets of terrorist suspects already described by the courts as "draconian".
Employment lawyers have pointed to the government's record on equal pay as a further area of disappointment, describing the recent equality bill as a missed opportunity.
"The pace of change is far slower than we wanted," said Victoria Phillips, an employment lawyer.
"The bill is a real missed opportunity to get stuck in and resolve some of the problems that have been created by the legislation over the past 40 years. The proposals will not tackle the systemic pay problems that keep women earning 17% per hour less than men - 38% less if they work part-time - causing a £300,000 lifetime loss to the average woman," Jane Russell, an employment barrister, told the Guardian.
The UK was recently ranked 81st out of 130 countries in a global league table of equal pay.
Despite the Human Rights Act providing access to human rights law in the domestic courts, statistics from the European court of human rights (ECHR) show numerous cases still being referred to Strasbourg. Over the past 10 years there have been more than 185 separate findings of violations of human rights by the UK government, with it failing to implement decisions in a number of important cases. "Judgments have taken a very long time to implement," said Chakrabarti.
Lester's remarks came days after what many regard as a further betrayal by Jack Straw, the justice secretary, who publicly criticised the Human Rights Act by telling the Daily Mail that judgments under the act fuelled perceptions it was a "villain's charter".
Straw announced an intention to "overhaul" the act, despite having reassured lawyers in October that he felt it "has worked well" .
"There is no prospect at all that the government are going to amend the Human Rights Act," Lester told the Guardian. "Raising expectations in the Daily Mail that the government can get rid of the Human Rights Act and weaken the ECHR profoundly undermines Straw's own handiwork and plays into the hands of those who don't want effective rights in this country."
So what happened to the other 'goats'?
Lord Lester was appointed with other outside experts to join Gordon Brown's government of all the talents. What happened to the rest of the "goats"?
Lord West of Spithead
Security minister still going strong after quick U-turn on 42 days, saying he was a simple sailor
Lord Jones of Birmingham
Former director of CBI quit as trade minister at the last reshuffle, saying he found government discipline awkward
Lord Darzi

Lord Malloch Brown

Paterson police make $23,000 drug bust
PATERSON - Police on Wednesday arrested two men who they say were using a quiet street in the 3rd Ward as a meeting place for drug sales.
Capt. Troy Oswald said detectives arrested the suspects at 11:40 am on Wednesday on East 28th Street, near 8th Avenue, the area he said they had been using for meeting their drug customers. Detectives found 2,311 glassine packets of heroin, 20 bags of crack and $624 in cash in the suspects' car, Oswald said. The drugs are worth more than $23,000 on the street, he said.
Arrested and charged with various drug offenses were 22-year-old Rashon Smith of East 24th Street and 25-year-old Samuel Russell of East 26th Street, police said.

The Delieu family is a tour operator's dream. Michael Delieu, who works for the Army in Winchester, can only take his leave in August. But last year, the Delieus left it too late to book their summer holiday and ended up not going away at all. 'We couldn't get a last-minute deal; there was nothing left,' Michael said. This year, he and his wife, Julie, were determined they weren't going to lose out and booked a two-week, all-inclusive holiday to Kusadasi, Turkey for themselves and their two daughters in January.
Unfortunately for the UK's largest tour operators, there haven't been enough families following the Delieus' example. In January, tour operators were preaching to the public that a 10 per cent cutback in the number of holidays for sale following 11 September would mean there would be fewer bargains around this summer. This hasn't convinced enough of the traditional early bookers to commit to their two weeks in the sun.
Last week, MyTravel, formerly Airtours, was forced to issue a profits warning when it admitted it had sold 250,000 fewer brochured holidays than expected. If tour operators don't get enough bookings early enough in the season, they know they will lose money on selling late deals when they are more likely to have to discount.
The fall-off in the family market means it is still possible to get free child places for July and August, something normally unheard of at this time of year.
May and June, traditionally the months when holidaymakers can pick up the best bargains, have been particularly good this year. Last month, prices for last-minute holidays sold by MyTravel fell to an all-time low of £29 for a week in the Mediterranean and there are still deals being sold from as little as £89 for the last three weeks of June.
This is partly due to the World Cup, which has slowed bookings to the Med. But beware - don't dither for too long. If England is quickly knocked out, there is expected to be a bookings boom and prices will go up again.
Whether you will get a bargain during July and August is more of a gamble. Millions of people have still not booked their summer break. As the school holidays loom, huge discounting will only kick in if tour operators lose their nerve. In the cut-throat world of travel, if one breaks rank the others will follow.
Cut-price holiday checklist
When is the best time for a bargain?
Outside the peak season of July and August. If you are not restricted to the school holidays, then mid-June is the best time to get good deals. After the schools have gone back in the last two weeks of September and October is also a good bet.
Where can I find the best deals?
Look at Teletext where the bulk of last-minute holidays are sold. But also surf the web, where increasing numbers of late deals are advertised.
Sites to investigate include Holidays by Phone, MyTravel (0870 241 5276) and Thomas Cook (08705 666 222).
Thomson (0870 241 3156), JMC (0870 607 5085), First Choice (0870 750 0001), and Cosmos (0870 264 6100) are all worth checking, too.
Which destinations are particularly good value this season?
Many of the best bargains are for Spain. It is the number one choice for British holidaymakers, particularly families, but this year it isn't doing as well. This is partly due to the introduction of the Balearic Islands eco-tax (about one euro - 65p - per day per person), which has put many travellers off.
Bargain-hunters may be hard pushed to find much availability to Turkey this summer. The favourable exchange rate has meant it offers particularly good value for money this year. And there are fewer holidays available following 11 September when many tour operators, fearing travellers would be deterred from visiting a Muslim country, cut the number of holidays available to such destinations.
Greece is doing well this year, but there is still availability on islands such as Samos.
There are still plenty of holidays available to Cyprus - because it is a bit further to travel (at least four hours) and prices are higher because the island specialises in upmarket hotels. Cypriot hoteliers don't tend to offer massive discounts even when they can't sell their beds.
I want a really cheap week in the sun. What should I do?
If you are flexible on dates and destinations, then you can afford to take a gamble. Travel agents selling late holidays generally knock off another £50 for departures within 48 hours. You could also try a holiday auction site such as www.mytravel.co.uk where a selected number of last-minute holidays start at a reserve price of £1. I tested it out a few weeks ago and managed to buy a two-week self-catering holiday to Tenerife from Manchester for an inclusive price of £48 for two.
If I am restricted by my children's school holidays, should I wait?
Only if you are prepared to take a risk. You are very unlikely to get a real bargain if you wait until a few weeks before you plan to go away. You may not be able to get your kids into the hotel's children's club. Many of the large tour operators such as JMC, Airtours and Cosmos are still offering free child places, which should make the whole holiday cheaper than if you wait for a late deal when they won't be available.
I'm planning to go away for a week in the sun with my partner but we don't want to stay in unnamed accommodation and want somewhere quite nice. When is the best time to book?
If you book your holiday within eight to 12 weeks of departure you will still be left with plenty of choice of both resorts and accommodation.
Can I buy a cheap flight and book accommodation separately?
Yes, you can. For charter flights, try websites such as www.cheapflights.co.uk or flight-only specialists such as Avro (0870 0360111).
There are plenty of villa agencies offering a huge number of properties on the web. These include www.villadeals.com (which specialises in late availability villas up to eight weeks before departure), www.holidayleaders.com (20,000 properties), www.holiday-rentals.com (3,500 villas), www.meonvillas.co.uk and www.thevillaagency.co.uk (specialises in villas with pools in the Algarve).
You will be hard pressed to find many bargains with the low-cost airlines (in contrast to package holidays, the earlier you book with these airlines, the cheaper the seat). The advantage of booking one is the flexibility - flying out and returning on different days of the week.
Summer-sun destinations such as Faro and Spain are selling fast. Buzz has added extra flights to Murcia and Jerez in peak season. Go is offering flights to Palma for £240 return for departures on 21 July, returning a week later. It's a similar story with Buzz, which is charging £220 return for departures on 10 August, returning a week later.
Tips for bargain hunters
· Be warned: last-minute holidays don't just go down in price, they can also go up. This is most likely to happen in the peak season months of July and August.
· Watch out for hidden extras. As well as a £7 security charge per person, introduced after 11 September, you could also be paying an under-occupancy charge, for resort transfers and in-flight meals (a few months ago Golden Sun charged a couple extra for the use of the swimming pool) and booking and credit-card fees.
And if you are booking within a few days of departure you may also have to pay a Ticket on Departure charge of £10-£15 per person w ith some tour operators.
· Check the departure and arrival time when you book. Many of the cheapest late deals are for 'red-eye' night flights - not very good for your sanity if you have three children under five. And if you have to get a taxi to the airport because public transport is not running, it could cancel out any holiday savings made.
· If you like quiet, relaxing holidays and don't want to run the risk of ending up in a Club 18-30 hotel it's worth paying a little extra to know which resort you are staying in and the name of the hotel. Some of the cheapest deals only tell you which destination you are going to and the type of accommodation you will get.
· If you book your flights and accommodation separately you may not be financially protected, unless you book by credit card for a sum over £100. Flight-only charter operators such as Avro have to be covered by an Atol licence but the low-cost airlines such as Go and EasyJet are not obliged to provide financial protection. And if you book your hotel or villa direct you will have no legal redress if things go wrong - again, unless you are using your credit card.

About George Burns
His arched eyebrow and cigar smoke punctuation became familiar trademarks for over three quarters of a century. In his ninety years in show business, George Burns had time for three careers. His first two decades were spent as a small-time vaudeville performer. Later, as part of a comedy duo with his wife, Gracie Allen, he achieved wide popularity on the stage, radio, television, and in films. Finally, after Allen's death, Burns performed as a stand-up comedian and comic actor, winning an Academy Award at the age of 80. His career was resurrected as an amiable, beloved and unusually active old comedian, continuing to work until shortly before his death, in 1996, at the age of 100.
He was born Nathan Birnbaum on January 20, 1896 in New York City, New York, the ninth of twelve children born to Louis and Dorothy (née Bluth) Birnbaum in New York City. His father was a substitute cantor at the local synagogue but did not work very often. During the influenza epidemic of 1903, Louis contracted the flu and died.
After his father's death, Burns began a career in show business at the age of seven. To help support the family, he formed the Pee Wee quartet, a group of child performers who sang and told jokes on street corners. He and his brothers also helped out by stealing coal from a nearby coal yard - earning the nickname the Burns Brothers. He would later settle on this as a stage name, changing his first name to George after an idolized older brother.
Burns's early performing years were spent doing whatever he could to earn money. In 1916, under the name Willy Delight, he performed as a trick roller-skater on the Keith Vaudeville Circuit. Later, as Pedro Lopez, he taught ballroom dancing. Over the years, he tried several other names - Billy Pierce, Captain Betts, Jed Jackson, Jimmy Malone, Buddy Lanks - appearing in a wide range of vaudeville acts with many different partners. "When I first started in vaudeville I was strictly small-time," he reminisced in his book, How to Live to be 100 - or More. "I'd be lying if I said I was the worst act in the world; I wasn't that good."
By 1923, he was appearing at the Union Theatre as George Burns, comedian, when he met his future partner, Gracie Allen. Allen, ten years younger than Burns, came from a San Francisco show business family, and had also been performing since she was a child. However, by the early 1920s, she had given up her fledgling career in entertainment to train as a stenographer. Allen was accompanying a friend on a backstage visit at the theater when she was introduced to Burns. In tune with her scatterbrained image, she confused him with someone else, and called him by the wrong name for several days.
Burns and Allen made their performing debut in 1924. In his previous act, Burns was both the writer and the comedian, while his partner played the straight man. Burns initially stuck to this format in his act with Allen, but quickly learned that she was the funny one. "Even her straight lines got laughs," Burns was quoted as saying in The Guardian. "She had a very funny delivery …. they laughed at her straight lines and didn't laugh at my jokes."
Soon Burns and Allen developed the act that would make them famous: he played the bemused, cigar-smoking boyfriend and comic foil to her dizzy, muddled girlfriend. In a distracted, little-girl voice, Allen told rambling stories about her family, while Burns asked questions. "I just asked Gracie a question, and she kept talking for the next 37 years," he later recalled (quoted in The Daily Telegraph).
After performing together in vaudeville for three years, Burns and Allen were married in Cleveland on January 7, 1926. Theirs was a famously happy marriage. "I'm the brains and Gracie is everything else, especially to me," Burns once said (quoted in The Daily Mail). Later, they adopted two children, Sandra Jean and Ronald John.
Around the time of their marriage they were signed to a six-year contract with Keith theaters, which took them on tours of the United States and Europe. In 1930 Burns and Allen joined Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, and others in a headline bill marking the end of vaudeville at the Palace Theatre in New York. After this appearance, as well as appearances on the Rudy Vallee and Guy Lombardo shows, CBS signed the team for their own radio program.
The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show debuted on February 15, 1932. The team became famous for one exchange that ended that show, and every show. After a program filled with one non sequitur after another, Burns would say, long sufferingly, "Say goodnight, Gracie" and Allen would respond brightly, "Goodnight, Gracie."
During nineteen years in radio, Burns and Allen attracted an audience estimated at more than 45 million listeners. In 1940 their salary was reported to be $9,000 a week. Always modest about his role in the series, Burns claimed that Allen was solely responsible for their enduring success. "With Gracie, I had the easiest job of any straight man in history," he said (quoted in The Guardian). "I only had to know two lines - 'How's your brother?' and 'Your brother did what?"'
Meanwhile, in 1931 they signed a contract with Paramount Studios to star in short films and, when not making pictures, to play on the stage of the Publix theaters. Their first full-length movie was The Big Broadcast of 1932. In addition to many short films, the team made an average of two films a year for Paramount. Their last film for Paramount was Honolulu (1939), which starred Eleanor Powell and Robert Young.
To attract attention for their radio show, Burns masterminded several publicity stunts. In 1933, Allen appeared on radio shows throughout the country, searching for her imaginary lost brother. The joke was so convincing that her real brother, an accountant in San Francisco, had to go into hiding until public interest in him had waned. During the 1940 election, Allen declared herself a nominee for the "Surprise Party," and campaigned on various radio shows, even holding a three-day convention in Omaha. She received several thousand write-in votes.
In October 1950, The Burns and Allen Show made the transition to television. The program used the same format as the successful radio program. The following exchange was typical of their humor: "Did the maid ever drop you on your head when you were a baby?" "Don't be silly, George. We couldn't afford a maid. My mother had to do it" (quoted in The Independent).
In 1958, angina forced Allen to retire - an event that merited the cover of Life magazine. At the time, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show was then television's longest-running sitcom. Burns continued to perform in The George Burns Show, but the series only lasted one season. "The show had everything it needed to be successful, except Gracie," Burns recalled (quoted in The Independent).
Six years later, Allen died of cancer at the age of 59. Burns was devastated, and made almost daily visits to her grave. "The good things for me started with Gracie and for the next 38 years they only got better," he was quoted as saying in The Guardian. "But everything has a price. It still doesn't seem right that she went so young, and that I've been given so many years to spend without her."
After Allen's death, Burns devoted his time to McCadden, his television production company, which made such popular programs as The People's Choice (1955-58) and Mr. Ed (1961-66). Burns also appeared as a guest in various television specials throughout the sixties. However, his attempts to develop a new double act failed; he was unacceptable to the public with new partners like Carol Channing or Connie Stevens.
It was not until 1975 that Burns was given the opportunity to re-launch his performing career. After the death of Jack Benny, a contemporary and close friend from the vaudeville days, Burns took Benny's role opposite Walter Matthau in Neil Simon's film, The Sunshine Boys. The role of the ancient straight man, coming out of retirement for one last get-together with his shambling former partner, could not have been more perfect for Burns. At age 80, he won an Academy Award for best supporting actor - the oldest person to do so. "My last film was in 1939," he said at the time (quoted in The Daily Telegraph). "My agent didn't want me to suffer from over-exposure."
He followed his success with Oh God!, in which he played the deity wearing baggy pants, sneakers, and a golf cap. Two sequels followed, Oh God! II (1980) and Oh God! You Devil (1984), as well as several other comedies. None of these films was very successful, but Burns was undisturbed. "I just like to be working," he was quoted as saying in The Daily Telegraph.
Throughout the 1980s, Burns appeared often on television, hosting 100 Years of America's Popular Music (1981), George Burns and Other Sex Symbols (1982) and George Burns Celebrates 80 Years in Show Business (1983). By this time, his comic material, mostly one-liners, centered almost exclusively on his age and longevity.
Burns also published various books, including Dr. Burns' Prescription for Happiness (1985) and a tribute to his wife, Gracie, A Love Story (1988), in which he revealed that Allen was actually his second wife. During his vaudeville days, Burns had formed a dancing act with Hannah Siegel, whom he had rechristened Hermosa Jose, after his favorite cigar. When their act was booked for a 26-week tour, her parents refused to let her travel the country with Burns unless he married her. The marriage lasted as long as the tour, and then was dissolved.
Although Burns never remarried, during his 80s and 90s he developed an enthusiasm for taking out young women - which became another endless source for comic material. At 97, Burns was still writing, making stage appearances, and numbering Sharon Stone among his escorts.
Burns had planned shows to celebrate his 100th birthday at the London Palladium for January 20, 1996. However, after a bad fall in 1994, his health declined, and the performances were canceled. A few days before his 100th birthday, he was suffering from the flu, and was unable to attend a party in his honor. Burns died at his home in Los Angeles on March 9, 1996.
He has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to the motion picture and television industry and live performance located at 1639 Vine Street, 6510 Hollywood Blvd. and 6672 Hollywood Blvd. respectively.

Apr 23, 2014 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterThe new countywide museums director hopes the residents of Fremont County realize how unique the museums system is while looking forward to a "better" future for the museums in Lander, Riverton and Dubois.
Scott Goetz was named as the first countywide museums director in February and began work March 17.
Goetz created some controversy when he fired the Fremont County Museums Board of Trustees administrative assistant his first day on the job, but he said his focus is on improving the museums system.
Goetz said he accepted the position because he used to work in a similar job.
"It was an opportunity to get back (in the field)," he said.
His immediate goal is to improve the three facilities he oversees.
"It's simple, I hope they are better five years from today," Goetz said.
He said he hopes to build more consistency and sharing between the three facilities. He thinks more communication can improve museum programming.
When it comes to his vision of the museums system, he said he wants people to see how fortunate they are to have three museums in the county.
"That's not common in Wyoming," Goetz said. "(The system) is a unique asset to the county and the people in the communities."
Goetz said he wants people to know that the museums are an
important part of tourism and economic development.
He said one of his goals is to digitize and archive all the photos throughout the museums system. By doing so, he said if a resident in Dubois wants to look at photos in Lander, she could do so through the Dubois Museum.
"It's a long-term goal," he said, adding it could take years to complete, if it is ever completed. "Part of being a better system is to see consistent progress."

We are now down to just 78 players in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event after the players that had managed to successfully progress to Day 3 had to again be chopped down in size and negotiate the tough money bubble.
Once the action had finished it was the consistent performer Max Silver that held the chip lead after bagging up a very impressive 1,453,000 chips.

The bubble period was also broken today with only the top 151 players doing enough to make it into the paying positions. Many players busted before the bubble whilst a good few actually made the money before busting out. The most notable eliminations today were that of Team PokerStars Pros Jason Mercier, George Danzer and Leo Margets. They will now look ahead to the High Roller that starts up tomorrow.
Busted. AJ<KK. Happy to have made the money, but very much hungry for deep runs, final tables, and most importantly titles. 2014 lets go

NASSCO Delivers USNS Pomeroy To U.S. Navy
National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) has delivered to the U.S. Navy, USNS Pomeroy - the seventh new construction ship to be completed by NASSCO under the U.S. Navy's Strategic Sealift Program. A total of eight new construction ships and three ship conversions have been granted to NASSCO under the Navy's 20-ship Strategic Sealift Program. All of the vessels, which honor U.S. Army Medal of Honor recipients, are large, medium-speed, RoRo Ships (LMSRs). This particular vessel is named in honor of Private First Class Ralph E. Pomeroy, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Korea in October 1952. Measuring 950 ft. (289.5 m), with a beam of 105 ft. (32 m), the vessel can displace approximately 62,000 long tons when fully loaded and has more than 390,000 sq. ft. of cargo carrying space. Powered by gas turbines, the vessel will be able to sustain speeds of up to 24 knots when fully loaded.

The Strongest Link: Anne Robinson's new book show
Anne Robinson, the mistress of the killer put-down and one of Fleet Street's most famous reformed drunks, is to front the BBC's new flagship book show. Famous for presenting The Weakest Link, her new bookish chatshow will be a bit like Desert Island Discs (note to non-Brits, a famous person turns up and picks their favourite records, or in this case books, while chatting about their life). Guests will include the likes of PD James and the last surviving Mitford sister. The show begins in February.
Three years ago, I read Robinson's autobiography and there is a lot more to her than The Weakest Link. The book is called Memoirs of an Unfit Mother and the title is very apt.
It's great to see another book show coming into the fray. I always loved Desert Island Discs so I'm sure this format will work.

Yellen Backs 'Lower for Longer' Fed Rate Policy Amid RisksCraig Torres
Federal Reserve Board Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said she favors holding the benchmark interest rate "lower for longer" while cautioning that some bond-market investors may be paying too much for higher yields.
The Fed vice chairman said the central bank's low-rate policies are intended "to promote a return to prudent risk-taking" in credit markets. "Obviously, risk-taking can go too far," Yellen said today at an International Monetary Fund panel discussion on monetary policy in Washington.
The Federal Open Market Committee in December pledged to keep the main interest rate near zero so long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5 percent and the forecast for inflation doesn't exceed 2.5 percent over one to two years. Last month the committee said it will continue buying $85 billion in bonds until the labor market "improves substantially."
"I don't see pervasive evidence of rapid credit growth, a marked buildup in leverage, or significant asset bubbles that would threaten financial stability," Yellen said. "But there are signs that some parties are reaching for yield, and the Federal Reserve continues to carefully monitor this situation."
In response to an audience question, Yellen said she didn't expect financial stability concerns to grow so acute that they become "the dominant factor that should control our policy."
Policy makers need to weigh the possibility that by raising interest rates they may create another set of threats to financial stability by weakening the economy and by undermining bank capital and profits, Yellen said.
Weak Demand
The Fed vice chairman said in her remarks that she was "persuaded" by Columbia University economist Michael Woodford's theories that keeping interest rates "lower for longer" are suitable for times of high unemployment and weak demand. The FOMC's decision to tie the benchmark interest rate to economic indicators aligns with the "lower for longer" approach, she said.
Yellen said the pace and composition of asset purchases are important questions for central bankers in deciding how much stimulus to provide.
"And how long should they be held once purchases cease?" Yellen said. "Each of these factors may affect the degree of accommodation delivered."
The U.S. economy is in its fourth year of expansion after emerging from recession in June 2009. The unemployment rate stood at 7.6 percent in March, and the Fed's preferred inflation measure rose just 1.3 percent in February.
Highest Level
Reports today showed that new-home construction climbed to the highest level in almost five years, while factory production cooled. At the same time, data showed that consumer prices unexpectedly dropped last month, indicating that the Fed has leeway to keep pumping money into the financial system.
Stocks rallied and Treasuries fell after the reports, while gold rebounded from its biggest slump in three decades. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 1.4 percent 1,574.57 in New York. The U.S. 10-year yield rose four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 1.72 percent.
Minutes of the FOMC's March 19-20 meeting show members of the panel discussing costs and benefits of continued bond purchases that have pushed the Fed's balance sheet to $3.23 trillion in total assets.
Several members anticipated that it "would probably be appropriate to slow purchases later in the year and to stop them by year-end" if the outlook for the jobs market improved as they anticipated, the minutes said.
Yellen, 66, is a former San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President.

Joel Hanrahan: 'This isn't the easiest way to go into free agency'
|11.07.13 at 9:12 am ET
Joel Hanrahan wanted to watch, but only from afar.
The reliever ' who spent just more than a month as the Red Sox' closer before succumbing to season-ending arm surgeries ' reveled in his team's World Series run, but did so while in the company of his friends and family at his Dallas-area home.
Sure, Hanrahan had been coming up to Boston once or twice a month to with the team's medical staff throughout the course of the season. But this was different.
'The hardest part for me was I really wanted to come and be part of the playoffs, but I also didn't want to look like, 'Oh, we're in the playoffs and now he wants to be part of the celebration' something like that,' he said. 'My focus is trying to get healthy and I didn't want to take time away from the trainers who are trying to keep the guys on the field who are playing. I didn't want to be in the way. It was tough for me, but it was a whole heck of a lot of fun watching at home and seeing the success they had.
'To be the first time I was ever in the playoffs, and to see them win the World Series, I was a big cheerleader. But it's not how you envision your first playoff run or your first World Series championship. It was different being at home, sitting watching the games with my wife or my friends. But that's just the hand I was dealt this year. It just makes me want to work harder to get a chance to get back to the playoffs.'
Hanrahan's world has been all about recovering from the flexor tendon surgery, Tommy John surgery, and bone spur removal in his pitching arm, all performed by Dr. James Andrews in May.
Working with the same physical therapist who helped Mike Napoli get through his physical issues last offseason ' along with Red Sox specialist Dan Dyrek — the righty feels like he is ahead of the scheduled 12-15-month layoff.
He has been throwing from 120 feet, and in about 1 ½ weeks there will be flat-ground throwing. If all keeps going well, Hanrahan hopes to have thrown a few bullpen sessions by the time spring training roles around.
Another benefit from the layoff has been an improved all-around conditioning, which has included strengthening of hamstrings which were an issue starting early in the 2013 season.
'The hamstrings aren't a problem any more,' said Hanrahan, who had a piece of his hamstring taken out to serve as replacement for his elbow ligament. 'So I've had about 3 ½ months of my offseason workout and I still have three months of working out to go. I have plenty of time to make sure everything is good to go.'
And in the last week, Hanrahan has entered into a new world ' he is the fifth Red Sox free agent.
Unlike Stephen Drew, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Napoli, the reliever obviously wasn't in the conversation regarding a possible qualifying offer. But, even with the physical limitations, he has still been afforded some attention from potential suitors.
'We've had a handful of teams call, which is a nice thing to see,' he said. 'This isn't the easiest way to go into free agency. But we've had teams reach out. They're calling at this point just to check in to see how I'm coming along in the rehab. My main focus is doing the rehab Monday through Friday, trying to get as healthy as I can because obviously no matter where I am I can't help anybody out until I'm on the field playing. But the phone calls have been coming in, and that's a positive.'
Then there is the question of a return to the Red Sox.
Hanrahan pitched in just nine games with the Sox in '13, finishing six of them. But after that final outing, on May 6, it was what the organization provided that left the best impression on the 32-year-old.
'The Red Sox treated me very well for the time I was there,' he said. 'The check-ups I had with them, and the contact the training staff had with my therapist, were awesome. To see they cared that much about somebody who may or may not be back or wasn't signed for a second year '¦ To see them care that much was a great thing. We'll just have to see what's going to happen. I haven't closed any books or opened any new ones. I'm just kind of out here waiting to see how everything plays out.'

Patent Holders Strike Again
Last week brought us two patent troll stories.
Do you remember Lycos? It was sort of the proto-Google, and was, for a time in the late 90's, the most visited site on the web. Those days are now long gone, but patents that were once owned by Lycos are now being used to force Google to fork over a hefty chunk of its revenue.
Ars Technica reports that a company called Viringo bought some patents from Lycos and promptly turned around and sued Google over them. Last Tuesday, and judge awarded Viringo 1.36% of Google's AdWords program. While that amount may seem pretty small, AdWords is where Google gets most of its revenue. According to a 2012 study, Google brings in more than $100 million a day through AdWords.
Google will, of course, appeal, and it is only liable from 2012 until the patents expire in 2016. But if Google loses, the company is potentially on the hook for more than a billion dollars.
Meanwhile, in the world of podcasting, there is a patent holder called Personal Audio that claims to own the technology upon which all podcasts are based, even though Personal Audio itself doesn't make podcasts at all. In fact, Personal Audio's patent was registered by a guy who was sending out audio cassettes that he made in the 90's.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation started a "save podcasting" fundraiser and have worked to make a case to the US patent office that Personal Audio's podcasting patent should be invalidated. But last week, Personal Audio retaliated by subpoenaing the names of everyone who donated to the EFF's save podcasting fundraiser.
It's hard to look at this as anything other than an intimidation tactic, because it's unclear how donors are in any way relevant to the case, and the EFF is fighting to keep the information from making it to Personal Audio.
There is a patent reform bill which passed the house in December that would likely address the podcasting patent, but probably wouldn't have made any material difference in the Google case.

In 2008, the 12207 standard for software life cycle processes and the 15288 standard for system life cycle processes were revised in an effort that finally harmonized system and software processes as well as bringing the respective IEEE and ISO/IEC standards into complete agreement. Some users mistakenly believe that these standards are targeted only to large organizations able to make a substantial investment in a complete suite of software and systems processes. However, these standards are also the best entry point for beginning users who desire guidance on as few as a single process. This three-part article will explain how entry-level users can apply the two standards.
Standards are Names
Many users would like to believe that standards are prescriptions for product improvement, but this is not the case. Standards typically prescribe what not how. They provide the criteria for determining what subset of a universe of items qualify to be named by the standard. Generally, then, a standard considers a multi-dimensional trade space of product characteristics and defines a bounded region within that space. The subset of products falling within the bounded region qualifies for the name provided by the standard. For example, not all wireless data transmission schemes are 802.11. The 802.11 standard provides the criteria for the subset that can be called 802.11. In short, IEEE Std 802.11 is a name for a subset of wireless data transmission schemes. The name is important because it permits buyers and sellers; regulators and industry; and insurers and the insured to communicate concisely and accurately.
It's commonplace to criticize standards on the grounds that there are too many of them, but consider the alternative. Is it a better situation for a buyer to understand and select from 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n or is it better for a buyer to understand and specify the nearly infinite combination of choices that are actually possible? Although the namespaces provided by standards may be large, they are infinitesimal compared to the ranges of choices available a priori .
Electrical engineering and radio technology are mature disciplines with a well-defined nomenclature for describing their principles. Newer disciplines, such as software engineering, do not share this characteristic. Even the most fundamental of terminology is subject to interpretation and mis-interpretation. So the creation of agreed names is even more important in software engineering. These names can be vitally important in communication between buyers and sellers. For example, suppose a subcontractor is developing a software component of my system and I want to know what review practices they use. They might write a 20-page description of their practices, which I have to take the time to read, question and understand. Or, they might simply say that they use IEEE Std 1028, Software Reviews - an answer which saves both of us considerable effort and which reassures me that they use practices that, at least, meet a minimum set of responsible criteria.
Names can be a useful tool in effective communication, but problems can arise when different namespaces are created for different purposes. A geographical metaphor can explain the point. The IEEE Operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey is located at 445 Hoes Lane. That is a useful name from the driver's point of view. However, workers at the regional postal processing center use a different name, 08855-1331. For taxation purposes, the town clerk might use a name something like "Tract 15, Lot 25, Liber 227, Plat 22." If the land is ever sold, a title researcher might use a description like "the portion of the 1677 royal grant of Charles II to Robert C. Smith,

I had psoriasis on both head and body (on the head for a decade.) Two capsules of this product before breakfast got rid of all the plaques on my body; small amount recurred on one elbow after a while, but it's nothing like as bad as it was. On the head is not so bad either. Use of topical steroids much less. Easier to keep calm too. This product is on my must-have list!
Working adaptogen
Posted by Reviewer1331472 on Aug 17, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I take 2 per night, and it's fine if taken during the day as well. - It works as an adaptogen and general upregulating anti-oxidant (upregulating our own antioxidant systems) - It's a GABA-mimetic, so it should induce relaxation to some degree. - The Withanolide content is HIGH = induces neuronal growth and synaptic regeneration - It's a mild acetylcholinesterase inhibitor = more choline - Seems to increase T4-to-T3 thyroid hormone conversion Once one gets the dose and timing dialed in, and adjusts to the sedation (present in some people), it seems like a good choice.

You might not be able to read the logo for the band Nyogthaeblisz, but you don't have to. All you need to do is know that they are a hate-band, and that was enough for the promoters of the Chaos in Tejas music festival to pull them off the bill. This is an excellent article explaining why other promoters should take heed and keep such bands away from their shows.
Culture Map
For a few hours, the most controversial thing about the announcement on Friday of this year's Chaos In Tejas lineup was the revelation that Pitchfork darlings (and decidedly un-crust punk/metal/hardcore band) Best Coast would be playing the festival. Then Adam Schragin, music editor at Austinist, wrote a post on his Black Metal Austin blog pointing out that festival act Nyogthaeblisz was on a Nazi skinhead label and had contributed songs to compilations with titles like Declaration Of Anti-Semitic Terror.
Shortly after the post on Black Metal Austin, bands from other ends of the festival's musical and political spectrum — including bigger names like the re-formed UK punk bands The Mob and Antisect — threatened to pull out of the festival if Nyogthaeblisz remained on the bill. By Saturday night, they'd been yanked.
In response to the initial backlash — the Chaos In Tejas Facebook page was filled with comments from people declaring that they'd stay away from the festival if Nyogthaeblisz was on the bill — the head of the band's label, Satanic Skinhead Propaganda, posted this on a message board discussing the fest and Schragin's post:
NYOGTHAEBLISZ are not "NS" [Nazi skinhead] and they are not even white.
They are Satanic, and openly anti-semitic.
This is extreme Black Metal and this is EXACTLY why fests like this should not exist in the first place. Keep Black Metal dangerous and away from these liberal scum. This is a smear campaign with ad hominem attacks simply because the band is openly ANTI-JEW.
That right there, from "Antichrist Kramer," is the textbook definition of the phrase "distinction without a difference." But it leads to the next question surrounding Chaos In Tejas right now, which is "how Nazi-affiliated is too Nazi-affiliated"?
To the credit of Timmy Hefner, who books Chaos In Tejas, he did remove Nyogthaeblisz from the festival when it was pointed out to him that they're — ahem — "openly anti-Jew." But there are two other bands who are still on the Chaos In Tejas bill right now that people who prefer their Nazis marginalized and very far away should be aware of: Namely, Florida's Black Witchery, who put out a DVD on Kramer's label, and New Jersey death metal supergroup Disma, whose lead singer, Craig Pillard, has put out records with a solo project called Stormfuhrer. (Stormfuher's CD art looks like this, and an interview with Pillard from several years ago where he talks about the project is pretty shocking.)
Hefner was reluctant to be interviewed about this, but he did respond to an email asking about the presence of Disma and Black Witchery. "Black Witchery let SSP do a DVD… but I firmly believe they are not an NSBM [Nazi skinhead black metal] band. SSP and Kramer are connected to most of the metal scene in one way or another," he said. "Craig [Pillard, of Disma] has changed his ways, is what I'm told by everyone, and the fact that this band is members of [New York punk band] Citizens Arrest and on Profound Lore [record label] makes me believe them."
Pillard didn't respond to a request for an interview, but his bandmate Daryl Kahan sent the following statement: "Disma has absolutely nothing to do with politics, nor does the band support or condone racist beliefs or Nazi ideology of any kind. Craig may have a questionable past, but he has put that behind him and is solely focused on what the band is doing now."
That may all be true, but there are reasons to have suspicions. Death metal bands don't typically break into the mainstream, but Disma is the closest anyone working in the genre has come in a long time — the band's 2011 album, Towards The Megalith, debuted this summer by streaming on NPR, of all places, and it placed at number five on Pitchfork's Top 40 Metal Albums Of The Year list. NPR and Pitchfork — and the venues that open up to acts who have that kind of support — don't tend to endorse Nazis.
There's motive, and here's some evidence: while it's possible that Pillard has disavowed his Nazi past, and is just refusing to answer questions for unknown other reasons, he re-released the Stormfuhrer record on vinyl in June of 2010. According to an announcement from our pal "Antichrist Kramer," this reissue is signed and hand-numbered by Pillard himself.
There's some weirdness surrounding that announcement, too: Pillard's name isn't used in the announcement. When asked by others on the message board as to why not, Kramer replied: "A google search immediately tells you who it is." There may be other reasons for omitting Pillard's name while coyly stating that he's the person behind the record besides that he's trying not to jeopardize his NPR support, but it's hard to imagine what exactly they are, and Pillard's not talking…
All of which is to say: while Hefner has always come off like a reasonable person who is not overly interested in promoting Nazis, and while Pillard's bandmates may vouch for the guy, he himself hasn't done a thing to publicly disavow his Nazi background, and as recently as last summer was still actively selling a Nazi-themed record while simultaneously making a mainstream push with Disma.
And that speaks to the real point here. The threads on message boards and the Chaos In Tejas Facebook page are full of people crying out about "censorship" or "thought policing," but the fact is that there is a cost of doing business with openly Nazi bands, musicians, and record labels — even in a metal scene that prides itself on being as transgressive as possible. The fact that Disma's music doesn't have white power themes doesn't change the fact that by supporting the band, you're also increasing Pillard's platform to profit from a record he recorded to express the sentiment that "we are going downhill fast with the media multi-cultural cesspool that is being subjected to every decent white person that turns on the 'electric Jew'."
It's not censorship to say that you think that guy should have as small a platform as possible, and that a consequence of playing music with him is that maybe your band should not have access to the best venues and festivals. It's not thought policing to say that, when you release a DVD through a label whose webpage declares "die juden sind unser ungluck," people who otherwise want to attend a fun weekend of punk rock and heavy metal would rather you not be invited. And as unfortunate as it is, because Chaos In Tejas has always been a really fun time, it's not unreasonable to say that, as long as these bands are part of the bill, you shouldn't give them your money.

Hey you all!! I know that you all know some precious little "bits", and nothing is worse than a sick baby!! My sister will be 6 in September and has had 3 open heart surgeries, and spent her fair share of time in hospitals, and I have seen a need for hand made love to give to these babies. Here's what I would like to propose! I would like to start knitting hats, leg warmers, blankets, scarfs, or just whatever and donating them to children's hospitals like my local Blair E. Batson and the amazing CHOP in Pennsylvania where my sister has been. There are a lot of babies that do not have anyone there to love them or give to them and I would like to share with them some much needed love!!If anyone is interested, please let me know and we will start a knit along or a group or something for these kids. And if there is a hospital in your area that would benefit from these, we could start chain groups to benefit local hospitals!! I just want to help these kids and their families out.Give me some feed back guys!:knitting:
Great idea! I knit hats and mittens for my local elementary school. Kids are coming into the office every day looking for warm winter gear when the temps get low. It's especially appreciated after January. Stores switch to summer wear and you can't buy hats and mittens. They're out of season. That's one reason why I knit and crochet. You can have hats and mittens any time you need them.

The trainees, 550 members of the Luton Airport Aviation Enthusiasts Scheme (AES), a collective of plane spotters, and a real mouthful, have been asked to collect "invaluable intelligence" whilst they watch the planes land at the UK's fifth largest airport.
Police introduced the scheme six years ago, as a wave of paranoia following the destruction of the World Trade Centre in 2001 forced an upheaval in airport security procedures. However, the project was initially used to keep an eye on plane spotters, ensuring that Luton's anorak-clan masses were not Al Qaeda in disguise.
In 2010, Bedfordshire Police are realising the benefits of having sympathetic spotters stationed around Luton Airport. "(The AES) forms an extra layer of security for the airport," a local police officer explained. "Its hundreds of members have helped in a number of potential security situations,"
AES members are treated to a photo card and a car sticker identifying them as an authorised visitor to Luton Airport. Spotters are also given phone numbers to call in the case of an emergency, such as a hole in perimeter fences.
Despite the high profile of Luton's plane spotters, the Bedfordshire hub is a "not a fantastic airport to view at all," according to enthusiast website, Plane Mad, due to the airport's proximity to cliffs and main roads.
However, local fans are directed to Luton's high number of executive and private jets, which provide more variety than a Ryanair Boeing 737 or a Thomson Airbus A321.
