With Irene wreaking her havoc this past week on the East Coast, we felt it most appropriate to remind everyone about keeping your financial records safe. Natural disaster can strike at any time. As a result, we need to remind ourselves it is important to backup records in case a disaster comes our way. Without a disaster plan in place, you could face confusion, high levels of stress, or even financial ruin. The following information will show you how to backup your records so you can be prepared in case disaster strikes.
Document Your Valuables
Annually, go room-to-room in your home or business and document each item. Include the value and condition of each item. Here are some methods you can use to document items:
1. Take photos of items
2. Video record items
3. Document on paper the items
4. Input item information into a software program, such as Word or Excel
Backup Your Records Electronically
One of the best and easiest ways to safe-keep your records is to make sure everything is in electronic form. Consider scanning paper documents, photos, and receipts into electronic format. Once all records are in electronic format, you can make copies that you can use for your backup. Backup copies on an external hard drive, CD or DVD, flash drive, or an online storage service. Remember, once you have converted your documents to electronic format, do not automatically assume that you should dispose of them. Certain documents, such as birth certificates and social security cards, preferably should be kept in their original paper format.
Store Records in a Safe Area
Store records in a secure and remote place, preferably away from the town you are in. Consider family members that are willing to assist you (and you can also return the favor for them too). Another option is storing electronic information using an online storage service. There are several companies that offer this service at a very reasonable cost.

If you claimed the right number of dependents and standard deductions on your 2016 federal income tax return and you still ended up owing the IRS, you're probably looking to avoid a repeat performance next year. Luckily, there are several ways to increase your chance for a refund (or at least reduce the amount you'll owe) and you don't have to be a tax whiz or accountant to take advantage.
Here are 11 ways you can pay less in federal taxes for your income return next year.
Contributing to a retirement fund is an important way to ensure financial independence in your golden years, but it can also convey short-term tax benefits. In most cases, the contributions you make to your 401K and IRA plans are tax-deductible and are not included in your taxable income at the end of the year. (Note: If you didn't contribute to an IRA in 2016, you still have time. You have until April 18 to contribute up to the maximum amount and shave off a good chunk of your tax bill. Filed your taxes already? That's OK. You can file an amended return to reflect the contribution.)
There's a distinct tax benefit to home ownership. The interest you pay on your mortgage is tax-deductible, and the interest is front-loaded. For the first several years, most of your mortgage payment goes toward interest, which will drastically reduce your adjusted gross income at tax time. Want an extra boost for your taxes next year? Consider paying January 2018's mortgage payment in December to get a tax benefit before the end of the year.
You probably know charitable donations can be itemized and deducted from your income, so you'll want to save receipts anytime you donate cash or items to charity. You can even deduct miles you travel for volunteering or other charity work.
"Miles you travel on behalf of a charity are deductible at 14 cents per mile for 2017," said Gail Rosen, CPA.
Starting a home business can provide you with a new source of income and allow you to take deductions off any income the business generates.
These deductions include business costs you incur throughout the year, a portion of your mortgage and utilities if you use a home office and the cost of goods needed to keep your business running. You can even deduct startup costs.
"Any expenses that are incurred before the first sale are 'start-up costs,'" Rosen said. "These costs cannot be deducted until the first sale. Then they are deducted over 15 years and you can deduct the first $5,000 in the first year."
If you hunt for a new job in your field this year, you can write off some qualifying expenses as you search. There are exceptions, but potential write-offs include things like clothes or travel.
"If you looked for a new job in 2017, you should be aware of the income tax deduction that may be available with respect to job-search costs," Rosen said. "Qualifying expenses are deductible even if they do not result in a new job being offered or accepted."
Many employers offer flexible spending plans that let you contribute toward yearly medical expenses pre-tax. These contributions typically don't count toward your taxable income.
Many medical and dental expenses are tax-deductible. According to Rosen, the cost of getting to and from medical treatment is deductible at 17 cents per mile, plus the cost of tolls and parking, and dependent expenses are also deductible.
"If you cover the medical cost of dependents, these can be deducted. Additionally, if you are covering the costs of an individual who would qualify as your dependent except that they have too much gross income — for example, an elderly parent — you may be able to deduct these costs as well," said Rosen.
Current and former students have many eligible deductions and credits related to their education expenses. Paid student loan interest and tuition and fees can be claimed as deductions. Eligible current students can also access the American Opportunity Credit, which can cover up to $2,500 annually for four years, and the Lifetime Learning Credit, which can cover up to $2,000 per tax return.
Homeowners who install solar energy systems in their home can get back tax credits at up to 30% of the cost of installation. This credit will begin to decrease after 2019 so you may want to act soon if you're planning on installing solar panels.
As an added bonus, solar energy can significantly reduce your energy bills.
We've named several tax credits above, but there are more, including credits for adopting children, the cost of child care and low-income households. Tax credits are more valuable than deductions, as they reduce your taxable income on a dollar-for-dollar basis, so make sure you're taking advantage of every option.

We get it. Doing your taxes is no fun, especially if you know you're going to owe money. But as with any project on which you procrastinate, leaving everything to the last minute can lead to errors, both large and small, and some of those errors could cost you serious money.
If you've gone and done it, though, and are still looking at that pile of tax forms over there in the corner, we've compiled a list of six quick-and-dirty tips that could keep you from making some obvious, and not-so-obvious, mistakes when you finally sit down and tackle the task. They could also help you maximize your tax refund.
You might wonder how anyone could forget to sign their tax form, but this simple process is one of the most common tax mistakes, according to the IRS. Just like forgetting to sign a check or a contract, it means your return isn't valid. Usually, there isn't a penalty or interest associated with this error (since you've already included a check or electronic payment if you owed), so the IRS will just send a notice asking for a valid signature, but it will delay the processing of your return. If you're getting a refund, that too will be delayed.
So check, double-check — heck, triple-check — that you signed or completed the e-signature process before filing your return. Also, check out these last-minute filing tips from the IRS.
Math errors are also a very common mistake made by folks in a hurry. Fortunately for most people, the IRS corrects any miscalculations, so there's no need for filing an amended return. But these mistakes can mean the difference between you thinking you're getting a refund and the reality that you actually owe taxes, so be sure to check your calculations carefully.
One way to help you avoid math errors is to file electronically so the calculations are done for you. Bye-bye, No. 2 pencil! So long, calculator!
Did you have a side hustle early last year? A freelance design gig for a friend's business? If so, you're going to need to account for it, regardless of whether you received a W-2 or 1099 from whomever paid you. That's because, while there's an IRS threshold for filing these documents by employers, there's no similar threshold for claiming the income. Income is income is income. If you made money and don't report it — and the IRS catches it — it's going to cost you penalties and interest at best, and open you to a possible audit at worst.
It's easy to forget these things when you're in a hurry, but they can end up saving you some serious money and are well worth the extra time to figure out if you qualify. So if you're just claiming the standard deductions because you're under the gun, you might want to take a deep breath and check out TurboTax's list of 10 commonly overlooked tax deductions that can keep you from overpaying the tax man.
Filing for an extension is a great idea if you're down to the wire and don't really understand your tax situation. But remember that an extension gives you an extra six months to file your paperwork, but not an extra six months to pay any taxes due. So, if you're confused, tax pros recommend doing a quick calculation of your taxes, filing for your extension and making any required payment of taxes you think you owe. This will help you avoid penalties and interest once you get your final calculations together.
You gave up. You shoved, slammed and jammed your return through and now it's full of mistakes that are going to cost you money by way of penalties or because you've left money on the table. It's a much better idea to file the extension, then get the help you need from a tax professional to ensure you're not overpaying your taxes.

When I was living on my own and working my first job, I decided to do my taxes myself.
I had no real idea how to file taxes, so I made a lot of mistakes. And because I was utterly clueless, it cost me. I missed important deductions and credits. Even worse, I messed up the math.
I ended up owing money to the IRS because of my errors, but I learned a lesson. Afterward, I did my homework and made sure I did my taxes correctly.
Don't make the same mistakes I did. Find out how to do your own taxes — the right way.
The government doesn't require everyone to file a tax return, so the first step is to figure out if you actually need to file. Three main factors determine if you need to file your taxes:
If you're single and under the age of 65, you have to file taxes if you make more than $10,350 a year. If you're married, filing jointly and your household income is more than $20,700, you also have to file a return.
If you make less than those annual amounts and are a dependent on your parents' taxes, you do not need to file an individual return.
If you're still not sure if you have to file a return, the IRS recently launched the "Do I Need to File a Return?" tool. It's a questionnaire that takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once you're done, the IRS will give you a recommendation on filing a return.
You were probably always taught that the tax filing deadline is April 15. Though that's normally true, this year is an exception. In 2017, you have three extra days to complete your taxes because tax deadline is April 18.
This year, April 15 is a Saturday, and the IRS doesn't allow the tax deadline to fall on a weekend. The following Monday is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. The IRS closes their offices that day, so the whole nation gets an extra day.
When learning how to do taxes, remember that if you're going through a hardship or will be unable to file your return by April 18, you can get an extension. By filing a tax extension request, you can get up to six extra months to complete your return.
An extension can give you a reprieve in filing your return, but if you owe any money to the IRS it's still due by April 18. If you miss that deadline, you could owe late fees and penalties. (Unpaid taxes can also damage your credit report.)
When you're preparing to do your taxes, collect the necessary documents ahead of time. It's common for forms to trickle in slowly, so keeping a folder specifically for tax documents can help you track everything you need.
Here are some common documents that you may need to file your taxes:
W-2: A W-2 is a form your part-time or full-time employer sends you. It shows how much money you made in the past year and how much you paid toward taxes, Social Security and Medicare.
1099: If you earned more than $600 by freelancing or working a side-gig such as driving for Uber, your client will send you a 1099 form. The form shows how much you made last year, but unlike W-2s, no money was taken out for taxes.
Other income records: If you worked a side hustle but made less than $600 for a client, you won't get a 1099 but you still have to report that income. Keeping a spreadsheet of your earnings or having a separate business bank account can help simplify tax time.
1098: If you made interest payments on your student loans, your lender will send you a 1098 form saying how much interest you paid last year.
1095-A: If you got health insurance through Healthcare.gov, the government will send you a 1095-A form. This says you had qualifying coverage for the year.
Interest earned: If you earned interest from any savings accounts over the year, your bank will send you a form. This will show how much interest you gained.
Bank account routing number: To get your tax refund as quickly as possible, it's a good idea to sign up for direct deposit when you file your return. To do so, you'll need your bank account number and your routing number.
Expenses and receipts: If you landed a new job, moved to advance your career or attended business conferences, you can deduct associated costs. Make sure you keep receipts to use when you do your taxes.
While you can certainly do your taxes the old-fashioned way, using the paper forms can lead to errors. There are many options that can help you file your taxes more accurately:
Tax software: You can file your taxes electronically using available programs such as TurboTax or Credit Karma's free filing tool. Some options are free but others have a fee, so choose a program based on your preference. If you make less than $64,000, you can use the IRS' free filing tool.
VITA sites: If you need more hands-on aid and make under $54,000, you can get free in-person help. Try using an IRS-trained volunteer at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site.
Hire a tax professional: When doing your own taxes is too confusing or complicated, hire a tax professional. They can handle your taxes for you and ensure you get the maximum refund available.
When choosing which option is best for you, consider how complex your taxes are. If you're employed and have a side-hustle, but don't have a business partnership or many investments, using software may be more than enough.
But if you run your own business, own a rental property or have investments, your taxes may be complex enough to warrant professional assistance.
In the early stages of your career, you are unlikely to have enough deductions to make it worthwhile to itemize. Instead, you can claim the standard deduction of $6,300 and reduce how much of your income is taxable.
But you may be eligible for certain credits or deductions, even if you don't itemize. Credits reduce what you owe in taxes, while tax deductions lower your taxable income. Both are valuable items to consider when doing your taxes and can help you get your maximum refund.
Here are some of the most common credits and deductions:
American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC): The AOTC is worth up to $2,500 per year and includes money paid for tuition and other related expenses.
Charitable Donation Deduction: If you donated money or items to a nonprofit organization, you may be able to deduct the value on your taxes.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): The EITC is a valuable credit that 20% of eligible people miss out on because they don't claim it on their taxes. The average EITC recipient gets an average of $2,482 by claiming the credit — you could be eligible if are a low-income earner.
Home Office Deduction: If you work from home or run a business from where you live, you may be able to deduct up to $1,500 on your taxes.
Lifetime Learning Credit: With the Lifetime Learning Credit, you can deduct up to $2,000 in qualifying education expenses.
Student Loan Interest Deduction: If you made payments on your student loans, you can deduct up to $2,500 that you paid towards interest on your taxes.
Tuition Fee Deduction: With the tuition fee deduction, you can deduct up to $4,000 in college tuition and other fees.
There are also ways to cut down your property taxes.
When it comes to filing your taxes, you must file both a federal and state return. If you lived in multiple states last year, you need to file a return for each state you resided in.
The only time you do not need to file a state return is if you live in a state that does not charge income tax. There are seven states that fit in this category:
You can submit your federal and state returns using tax software or you can mail in the tax forms. Depending on where you live, where you need to send the forms may change, so check the IRS website before putting them in the mail.
If you're eligible for a tax refund, you can track your return's status and find out when to expect your money by using the IRS' "Where's My Refund?" tool. If you opt for direct deposit, you can expect your refund in as little as 10 days after filing.
If instead of a refund, you owe money to the IRS, you have different payment options. If you use software to prepare your taxes, you can usually pay the money owed electronically through the program.
If you did your taxes on your own or didn't pay electronically, you can use the IRS payment tool. Just make a payment through your checking account on the IRS website.
If you owe more than you can pay upfront, you can contact the IRS to set up a payment agreement and make monthly installments.
Figuring out how to file taxes for the first time can be confusing, overwhelming and stressful. Managing the process on your own can be difficult.
Using this guide — and the help of tax software or a professional — can help streamline the process and ensure you handle your taxes correctly.

If someone claiming to be an FBI or other federal agent shows up at your home or office and demands money — you could be in big trouble.
Not in trouble with the police, but actually you should call the police — because anyone who shows up unannounced and demands money on behalf of the government is a crook trying to catch you off guard.
According to a police report, Seattle police are still looking for a main who posed as an FBI agent and stole $128,000 from a Seattle money wiring service.
Police say the man was wearing a suit and flashed what looked like an FBI badge to the owner of Red Sea Finance. The business was actually closed, but when the owner saw a man who appeared to be a government official, he opened the door.
The FBI also recently issued a warning about a phone scam that spoofs an FBI office phone number.

Soccer Program Associated With Increased Activity In Students With Higher BMI
JAMA Pediatrics Study Highlights
Kristine Madsen, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues examined the effect of the community-based, after-school soccer and youth development program, America SCORES, on students' physical activity, weight and fitness.
Among students with a higher body mass index (at or above the 85 th percentile) SCORES "significantly increased" moderate-to-vigorous physical activity after school (by 3.4 minutes per day) and on Saturdays (by 18.5 minutes). However, there were no significant group differences in the change in physical activity, fitness or weight status among all students, according to the study results.
The participants (n=156) came from after-school programs in six schools within a large urban school district. Three schools were picked to receive the SCORES after-school program.
"Existing community-based programs such as SCORES can increase physical activity among low-income youth, particularly those most at risk for weight-related comorbidities," the study concludes.

When I was growing up we didn't have supermarkets. Everything was seasonal. Spuds, wonderful dairy produce, but limited diet. My winters were tormented by the smell of cabbage. In Ireland it was obligatory to boil cabbage for three hours. The vitamins were thrown out with the water. I have made stock where I have carefully thrown away all the juice and just kept the over-cooked vegetables. My mother would certainly have been proud.
I start every day with strong decaf coffee, French country bread and a fried egg. I'd rather not have anything if I can't have the egg. If I'm working, I'll have water, bread and M&S's wonderful unpasteurised Canadian cheddar for lunch. I make my own ravioli. I roll it in a hand-turned machine. I love coffee but 20 years ago discovered I was allergic to the bloody caffeine. I used to drink about three cups and would be in a state of near-suicide.
Although I cook a lot, I can't make fish. I don't think any man can; it requires too much daring and attack. One of my favourite meals is spaghettini with tomato sauce, parmesan and red wine. In Italy they know how to serve a decent meal. My favourite restaurant is Le Logge in Siena - it looks like an apothecary shop. I recently discovered Esca in New York - the best fish restaurant I have ever been to. I've never seen so many varieties of fish.
I gave up meat 10 years ago. I was having lunch recently with Glenn Close and had sea bass garnished with pieces of red stuff which I thought were chopped-up red onions. It was only when I realised they were bacon that I began to feel ill. Chicken seems to be in everything. I have high hopes God is going to turn out to be a chicken. St Peter will ask people if they eat chicken, and if they say yes he'll reply, 'It's not the place for you'.
When I'm not working, I go out for lavish lunches with my friends, drink too much, and spend the afternoons trying to sober up. I have discovered the importance of water. It's amazing how much booze you can put away if you drink twice as much water.
I have a glass or two of red wine with dinner. I love big Italian red wines and New Zealand whites. Brandy is my tipple: I can't keep the stuff in the house, because I would drink it by the gallon. My biggest sin is chocolates from L'Artisan du Chocolat, in London. You have to get a second mortgage in order to buy a small box of chocolates. I don't worry about my health. In response to a scare about butter I remember John Mortimer saying, 'Am I really going to give this up for an extra two weeks in the old folk's home in Lyme Regis?' That is the rule I live by.
Cocoa is rich in nutritional goodies such as magnesium and polyphenols that have benefits for the heart. Dark chocolate is best for its higher cocoa and lower sugar ontent.
Decaf coffee
People who are exquisitelysensitive are best off opting for decaf brews and should choose coffee beans that have been decaffeinated using either carbon dioxide or water-based processes, as these avoid the use of solvents.
Spaghettini with tomato sauce
Tomatoes are especially rich in lycopene which has been linked with a reduced risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Lycopene is more readily absorbed when combined with oil, so a sauce is ideal.
Dairy products are quite common instigators of food sensitivity-related reactions which include a blocked nose, sinus congestion and catarrh. Unpasturised dairy products or goats' cheese are often less of a problem.
Red and white wine
It seems John drinks enough wine to increase his risk of a range of health issues including liver damage, heart rhythm irregularities and stomach ulcers. However his water intake helps.
Country bread
The main ingredient in French bread is white fl our, which has very little nutritional value. John should switch to whole rye bread.
Fried egg
The most predominant fat in eggs is monounsaturated - a type of fat that is believed to help protect against heart disease. For most people, an egg a day will not increase the risk of heart disease.
Pasta, which contains little more than refined wheat flour, is actually a quite un-nutritious food, and is therefore not a particularly healthy basis for a meal.
Drinking water can help general well-being and is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and some cancers. Drinking water with alcohol helps protect the body from toxic effects of alcohol.
Eating fish gives relative protection from heart disease, depression and dementia. Good sources of the health-giving omega-3 fats include salmon, trout, mackerel, herring and sardine.

Latest update May 23rd, 2017 12:55 AM
Guyana no longer in semi final race
By Sean Devers in Barbados in association with Star Party Rentals & Payless Variety Store
With just 17 points from four matches, three defeats and a draw, Guyana are at the bottom of the points table and with just two games remaining are no longer in contention for a place in the semi-finals of this year's Regional four-day cricket tournament.
But 26-year-old Skipper Leon Johnson's aim is to register consolation wins in their remaining games against the Leeward Islands in Antigua and Trinidad and Tobago at Providence.
"Our performance in this tournament has been very disappointing, especially our batting and even if we get maximum points from our next two games we cannot qualify for the semis. However we have to win for Guyana and for pride," Johnson stated.
The left-hander, who missed the first three matches due to a knee injury, scored 70 runs from his two innings and heads the Guyana batting averages with 35.
The GCC player hinted that Guyana could use the remaining matches to give some younger players some exposure.
"We have a very experienced team here with seven players playing International while young (Tagenarine) Chanderpaul has just returned from the Under-19 World Cup so I don't know why we are doing so badly" Johnson wondered.
The Captain who looked the most positive of the batsmen on show said that although the game plan was to try and rotate the strike more he did not feel that the first session of the match when the openers laboured for two hours to score 44 runs was a major reason for CCC winning their fourth consecutive match against Guyana at the 3Ws Oval.
"We seem to beat CCC in away matches and in the last two years we got the better of them at Providence and in St. Kitts but I don't think the first session cost us this match. While we would have liked Tagenarine and (Assad) Fudadin to score a bit quicker the ground was not cut until the second morning and the lights made it a bit difficult for the batsmen to see the ball early. But that is not an excuse for our batting in this match," Johnson, a former West Indies youth Captain, explained.
Apart from Shiv Chanderpaul who missed the first two matches, Narsingh Deonarine is the team's most experienced batsman but the talented left-hander is going through a bad patch and has scored five ducks in the four matches so far and his confidence seems very low.
Asked why were the batsmen batting so defensively, Johnson opined that when you are not getting runs you sometimes worry about staying in the side and you could unconsciously take less chances and play less shots because to want to bat long and don't get out.
Guyana's bowling has been decent if not destructive this season but in this game Johnson feels the opening bowlers bowled too many 'four' balls which allowed the openers to build a solid foundation for their team and score at a rapid rate.
"We allowed them to score too freely but you can't take anything away from the way (Shacaya) Thomas and (Chadwick) Walton batted," Johnson pointed out.
Fudadin is the only Guyanese with 200 runs (249) and has two fifties but he has batted eight times and his six other innings have produced less than 100 runs, while Wicket-Keeper Anthony Bramble (192) and Tagenarine Chanderpaul (146) are the only other batsmen with over 115 runs in the tournament.
Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul (27) and fellow West Indies Test spinner Devendra Bishoo (13) are the only Guyanese with more than seven wickets.
The Guyanese draw the bye for this weekend before travelling to Antigua for their next against the Leewards.

Have I damaged my breast implant by doing too much activity?
Hi I had a breast lift and implants 2 weeks ago dual plain 375cc on my left and 350cc on my right today I was vacuuming with my left hand and I started to feel pain at the top of my left breast I know feel like the muscle at the top of my left Breast is sore and uncomfortable have I cause damage by doing to much?
Doctor Answers 10
It's more likely that you have a mild injury to your tissues than damage to your implant
Typically we recommend to our patients that they refrain from activities like vacuuming and lifting for a few weeks after surgery so as to avoid possible injury to the healing tissues around the implants. The implants themselves are very durable, and I often demonstrate this to patients in consultation by doing everything from twisting them violently to throwing them against the floor! It's the tissues that are fragile. Healing capsules take several weeks to develop strength, and if you over stress them with activity you irritate them or tear them. Don't forget that the muscle is also intimately attached to the capsule because the implant is under it, and the more you use that muscle, the more you strain the entire complex. This type of injury to the tissues can lead to pain, swelling, and in some instances bleeding around the implant that could require surgery to remove the blood. This last thing is unusual, and it is not subtle, in that if it occurs you would likely have massive acute swelling of the breast with very noticeable pain - much more than a "sore muscle feeling." Chances are that you have strained your healing tissues, just like one would strain a muscle by working it too hard, and you should treat it the same way - with ice, rest, and anti-inflammatory medication. If the pain is severe, or if you notice any visible changes in the breast, like swelling, firmness, or discoloration, you need to be evaluated immediately to be sure nothing worse has happened. Good luck.
Did I damage my new implant?
Modern breast implants are very durable and it is unlikely that you damaged the implant itself. It is much more likely that you are feeling muscle pain secondary to the activity. This is not unusual and should resolve. Of course, if in your judgment, this represents a very unusual circumstance, I also recommend that you contact your plastic surgeon
Breast Implant Damage?
Thank you for your question.
After your #breast #augmentation surgery it is typically recommended to stay away from particularly strenuous movements and lifting for up to 6 weeks. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. Always contact your #boardcertified plastic surgeon if you have concerns about soreness or any new and sudden changes in the feeling of your breasts/ #implants.

At two weeks, assuming your recovery has otherwise been uncomplicated, it is unlikely you have damaged anything. It is your bodies way of telling you it may be a bit too soon for such activity. This all will improve over the next few weeks.
Pain on vacuuming 2 weeks after breast augmentation
Two weeks after breast augmentation surgery, especially if implants are placed beneath the chest muscle is too early to be doing vigorous upper body activity like vacuuming or weight lifting. It is unlikely that you have damaged the implant however your discomfort is a sign that you need to be less active. Of course it is important that you check with your plastic surgeon for advice.

Too much too soon
Sounds like you should be ok but ya you probably over did it for 2 weeks after surgery. The breast muscle is sore for about a month and anything that upsets it will really feel awful for a while
No damage to breast implants
You did not damage your breast implants. You may have pulled a muscle. This sort of event is very common early in the course of recovery. At 2 week you can do most things. You may experience some discomfort but you will be well. As you increase activity let common sense, your surgeons advice, and pain be your guide. My Best, Dr C
Pain after breast implants
Thank you for your breast implant question.
- It sounds as though the use of your pectoral muscles, doing your vacuuming, pulled the muscle.
- It is very unlikely that you have damaged the implant.
- But call your plastic surgeon, explain what happened and get clarification about what exercise and housework you should be doing at this stage. Best wishes.
Breast implant damage from overactivity
Breast implants are very durable, and it is highly unlikely that you damaged them from overactivity. More likely is that you stressed your chest wall muscles and are sore due to that. As long as your breasts look even, without significant swelling that corresponds to the pain (which could indicate bleeding) then there is little chance that you did any lasting damage to the muscles. If you are concerned you should contact your Plastic Surgeon to be evaluated. In the mean time, rest your chest wall muscles and resume activity slowly.

The Ins and Outs of Co-signing a Loan
Whether you're a borrower or a co-signer, understand your responsibilities before you sign on the dotted line.
By: Navy Federal on September 25, 2015
It's no secret lenders reward more creditworthy customers with better interest rates and sometimes even fewer fees. So if you have poor credit (or no credit history), having a more creditworthy individual co-sign when applying for credit can be beneficial. But whether you're a borrower or a co-signer, it's important to understand co-signing before you put your signature on the dotted line. Here are some crucial questions to help you understand how it works.
What is co-signing?
Co-signing means that two parties are applying jointly for a loan. The individual who is intending to use the loan is known as the borrower. The person who is helping them secure the loan is called the guarantor. Being a guarantor involves more than merely vouching for the other party. As a guarantor, you take on the financial responsibilities of the loan. If the borrower doesn't repay the loan, you'll be responsible for doing so.
What is your responsibility as a co-signer?
Once you co-sign a loan, you assume all the financial responsibilities of that loan. That means if you co-sign for a car—even if you never drive it—you're still liable if payment isn't received by the lender. This can include the full amount of the debt as well as any late fees or collection costs. It's important to seriously consider whether you're willing to put your own financial well-being at risk for the loan.
When does it make sense to co-sign?
There are a number of occasions when co-signing a loan may make sense, such as when an individual may not be able to obtain a loan without help due to poor or nonexistent credit history. Parents may need to co-sign a student loan for their child, who has no credit history. However, be wary about co-signing with people who may be only a part of your life temporarily. Even after you part ways, your loan obligations will remain.
How does co-signing affect your credit?
As the borrower, this is a great opportunity to improve your credit. You may be able to significantly improve your credit with regular on-time payments of the loan, so it's important to be diligent about payments. If you fail to meet your obligations, your credit will suffer—as well as that of your guarantors. As a guarantor, be aware that co-signing for a loan may make it more difficult to get a loan of your own approved. The debt will be reflected in your credit and may make it appear that you have more debt than you can safely handle. If the borrower is late on payments, it will also reflect poorly on your own credit. You're putting your own credit at risk by being a co-signer, so be careful to consider whether the risk is worth the benefits.
The bottom line:
Choosing to co-sign a loan is a major commitment. It links the borrower and guarantor for the life of the loan. It's important to consider whether the borrower can handle payments. As a guarantor, you don't want to co-sign a loan that you don't have the ability to repay if the borrower fails to do so.

I read with interest the article by Fischer and colleagues (October 2006),1 wherein they describe the characteristics of systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated interstitial lung disease in patients who presented with an initial diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux (GER) was one of the clinical features that was identified by the authors1as being indicative of the presence of SSc-associated interstitial lung disease. However, GER is very common among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most commonly encountered idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Raghu and colleagues2recently demonstrated with the use of 24-h pH monitoring and esophageal manometry that GER was present in majority (87%) of patients with IPF, almost half of whom were symptomatic. Furthermore, the same group3reported stabilization and even improvement in pulmonary function test results over a period of 2 to 6 years in a small series of patients with IPF who were treated with anti-GER medications alone. Similarly, the presence of autoimmunity in IPF is well known and was highlighted in a review.4Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) are demonstrable in serum in as many as 10 to 20% of patients with IPF.5Presence of anti-topoisomerase antibodies (that produce a nucleolar pattern on immunofluorescence testing) among patients with IPF has also been reported.6 The authors of the current study1 had, in fact, recently demonstrated by means of a retrospective analysis that ANA positivity (with a nucleolar staining pattern) occurred in 25 patients with IPF (8.8%), more than half of whom also had presence of anti-Th/To antibodies.7 The small number of patients with ANA positivity, absence of cutaneous features of SSc in all the patients, and lack of differences (in clinical features, pulmonary physiologic-cum-gas exchange parameters and survival) between patients with ANA positivity and those without, as well as between patients with anti-Th/To antibody positivity and those without makes it difficult to substantiate the authors' conclusions of attributing the pulmonary fibrosis as being related to SSc. The fact is that pulmonary fibrosis (occurring in the setting of both IPF and SSc) is commonly associated with the presence of GER as well as autoimmunity, and differentiating idiopathic from nonidiopathic entities often remains a challenging issue for treating clinicians.
The author has no conflicts of interest to disclose.
The authors have reported to the ACCP that no significant conflicts of interest exist with any companies/organizations whose products or services may be discussed in this article.
We appreciate Dr. Singh's interest in our article.1 We agree that it can sometimes be challenging to differentiate nonidiopathic forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD) from idiopathic forms. It was in this light that we identified the unique features of systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma (ssSSc)-ILD in patients who otherwise would have been categorized as having idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
As stated in our article, the diagnosis of ssSSc was made only if the patient had at least three or more manifestations that were typical of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We chose these manifestations based on the proposed diagnostic criteria for ssSSc.2
Consequently, a patient with ILD, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and a positive test result for antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) would not have been considered to have ssSSc. ANA positivity can occur in IPF patients, and thus we did not solely rely on this in our analysis. Rather, we highlighted the specificity of nucleolar staining for ANAs.3In fact, in our previously described cohort of IPF subjects who were anti-Th/To-positive, we argued that, on retrospective analysis, those with ANAs revealed by nucleolar staining, and particularly those with Th/To antibodies, appeared to have had ssSSc-ILD.4
Dr. Singh states that antitopoisomerase antibodies have been reported in patients with IPF and suggests this could produce a nucleolar staining ANA. A closer review of the referenced article shows that 18 of 41 IPF patients (44%) had antibodies to DNA topoisomerase II.5However, only 3 of the 18 patients had a positive ANA finding obtained by Hep2 cell substrate, and the pattern of immunofluorescence was not reported. Furthermore, to our knowledge, the presence of antitopoisomerase II antibodies in IPF patients has not been confirmed by another group, although it has been reported in Japanese patients with SSc-ILD.6 Additionally, antitopoisomerase II antibodies should not be confused with antitopoisomerase I (anti-Scl-70) antibodies, which are highly specific for diffuse SSc and give a nucleolar pattern on ANA testing. Notably in our study, while all six patients had ANAs revealed by nucleolar staining, only one patient showed antitopoisomerase I (anti-Scl-70) antibodies. We believe that our case definition for ssSSc-ILD accurately differentiates those patients with ssSSc from those with IPF, and that this distinction is clinically useful.

Entry Five
Mother and Father are still furious with Sebastian. It's been two weeks now and they still won't let him out of the house alone. It's getting boring because Sebastian won't play with me. He says I told on him, which I didn't.
Everyone is very angry at the moment. Sebastian is angry at Mother and Father for keeping him in the house and for yelling at him and Mother and Father are angry at each other. I don't know why. They are arguing more often now. I don't like it. Sebastian won't let me cuddle him when they argue at night anymore. He says I should learn to grow up.
I don't have anyone to play with now Sebastian's gone all moody. I just help Mother around the house but she gets annoyed and says I'm in her way so I just sit outside in the sun. The hottest days of the summer have gone and Father says it's going to be autumn soon. I think he's telling the truth even though it's still really warm and sunny. I trust him because he always tells the truth.
I was really bored the other day so I asked Father if I could go to the farm with him but he said no. I don't know why people won't let me be with them. It's really lonely. I only have you diary.

Orca renovations is a one man show. Prices were similar to other quotes for the same job but, other contractors included all materials in, Orca's prices were customer suplied and there seemed to little idea of what would be required for the job in advance. I made many runs to the hardware for "things" at the last minute. MAKE sure you contract outlines word for word what you want with this company including days and hours when they will be working. Be prepared for half days and an hour here and there. These company is messy! Tile dust all over the house for weeks. I had to replace plumbing because they cleaned their tools on my new granite counter top and bathroom sink. I removed no less than three pounds of grout from the trap. If the plumbing they did hadn't leaked, who knows what that would have cost me in a plumber. Did I mention the water leak that caused the new dining room ceiling to turn to mud.
Yes Orca tore out the new tile in the new shower and fixed their leak, they did repair the ceiling in the dining room and repainted, they did cash the cheque the day it was handed to them and left me feeling like I got second rate work done at cadillac prices. The promised three to five day job took three weeks and was dirty hell the whole time. In order of compensation for the brutal job they did I was offered a bottle of "booze". I spent hours repairing the damage that was done after they left. They earned $350/hr for the time they spent here (before repairs) and my time is worth a bottle of booze? Unless it is a straight tile job I can't recomend this company.
As an addition to my first post I would like to add that ORCS 's repair, the one he claims to have dealt with fairly in his retort failed again after the review was written. Because of the negative review, Luc Villenueve refused to deal with the problem and I had to hire another contractor to come in to fix his improper bathtub installation which cost me an additional $2900 and another flood in my dining room. Upon trying to reach ORCA renovation for several months it was discovered while serving papers at his stated business address that he was no longer there but had fled to Victoria B.C without leaving a forwarding address. I know I will never see my money but I am glad ORCA is no longer working in the National Capital area.
I Luc Villeneuve owner/operator of Orca Renovations would like to respond to the feedback provided by client Kay.
I feel it is important to mention that the client Kay did not have any contact with Orca during this project, it was client Kevin who presented as acting client and who represented on behalf of this project.
Orca responded to the client Kevin regarding the incidents stated. Which were addressed at client Kevin's discretion and satisfaction. Had there been contact with Kay or knowledge regarding any of Kay's dissatisfaction, Orca would of dealt with it promptly and professionally.
Orca Renovations offers competitive rates, and stands behind their work. Client satisfaction is what Orca has built their reputation on. With each client I am honest and forthright, advising them if there is anything regarding Orca's work that they are not happy with to let me know, it is important for all parties involved. And if ever a client is not satisfied with Orca Renovations, Orca will work with the client to make it right, and see it through.
Orca had two staff for the majority of this project, the project consisted of demoing and reinstalling one complete bathroom and in a second bathroom installing flooring, sink and a toilet. In the statement provided by Kay regarding $350 per hour, this would mean that the initial project would had to of been completed start to finish in nine hours.
Orca included in the contract 90% of all materials needed to complete the project and the remainder were the responsibilities of the client. Due to client preference, changes in materials were made. The client did then obtain purchases of their choice that were in the contract, and therefore the bill was adjusted accordingly.
This project was initially completed on schedule and on client satisfaction. Unfortunately after completion of the project the client notified me of a leak and therefore in order to make the repairs, it did extend the project.
Within one hour of being contacted of the leak, Orca responded and was on site. Immediately Orca apologized, took responsibility for the situation and offered the client another contractor at Orca's expense to repair the leak, if the client was not satisfied with the quality of Orca's work. The offer was declined and Orca then proceeded with the work and made the repairs.
Approximately 2 weeks after completion of the repair, the client Kevin again contacted Orca stating the client had found grout in the trap and that the client had taken it upon themselves to remove it. I then offered financial compensation for any inconvenience the client might have encountered because of this, the client again declined.
Certain materials require drying time, therefore full days were not required. It was made clear to the client before start date that dust would be unavoidable, and as always Orca did do a final clean up.
And yes, on final project completion of the repair as a show of good faith I did offer the client Kevin a bottle of his choice, and once again it to was declined. And to note, this was in no way a offer of compensation for any inconvenience they might have encountered.
An unfortunate situation did occur, I took responsibility, my apologies were given, the repair was made and compensations were offered. I honestly feel Orca made every effort to rectify and complete the project to the client's satisfaction.

Who was the Man in the Iron Mask? And Other Historical Mysteries (Penquin Classic History)
Who was Elizabeth I's true father? Who really murdered the princes in the Tower? Did Buckingham poison James I? And who was the Man in the Iron Mask? These, and a host of other tantalizing mysteries that have caused speculation and scandal down the centuries, are explored in Hugh Ross Williamson's hugely enjoyable book. Using the techniques of modern detection, he has re-evaluated the evidence, examined the characters and motive, and used the known facts of the cases to come up with solutions both controversial and fascinating. Shattering myths and propaganda, he exposes a grisly catalogue of murder, lies, intrigue and conspiracies. Discover, for example, the political frame-up surrounding the Gunpowder Plot, the secret identity of Charles I's executioner and Elizabeth I's involvment in the murder of her lover's wife, among others. This book of whodunnits should appeal to all historical sleuths who find the darker corners of the past a happy hunting ground.

Whether you are a student or seasoned expert, we have curated some great resources for you to bookmark that can help you find a home for your next psych-law manuscript.
See below for direct author submission links to traditional peer-reviewed journals, international information on open-access publishing in psyc-law, or even publishing through the in-house EAPL-S publishing process (did you know our publications undergo peer-review and are featured in the APA PsycArticles database?).
Thinking of publishing in an open access journal? Here is your ultimate guide to understanding the new world of online and open access publishing featuring information written by our amazing international representatives.
Open-access (OA) publishing is a hot topic. By publishing OA, anyone in the world can have free online access to your work. This PhD Comics video provides an excellent explanation of what OA is, and what its benefits are. There are two primary routes to OA publishing. The "green" route—self-archiving of publications—is free of charge, but typically involves an embargo period which delays OA publication, and often requires self-archiving of pre-prints. The "golden" route—publication in OA journals—involves payment of an article processing fee by authors (or their institutions), but makes articles immediately available online, free of charge to the reader. Each route has its advantages and disadvantages.
The purpose of this article is to review developments and funding opportunities for OA publishing in various countries around the world. Most of the country-specific information has been provided by local representatives of the European Association of Psychology and Law – Student Society. Nevertheless, the information in this article is relevant across all scientific disciplines. Before reviewing the general information, however, I will highlight some OA journals that are particularly relevant to the field of psychology and law.
This is a summary of a presentation on grant writing in psychology and law (forensic psychology) given by Professor Ray Bull at the Student and Early Career portion at the annual EAPL conference. Professor Ray Bull teaches courses on forensic psychology and conducts research in the area at the University of Leicester, UK. As of June 27th, 2014, Professor Ray Bull is also the President of the European Association of Psychology and Law.
(i) propose research of very high quality
(ii) be of value not only within the research community but also to potential users/beneficiaries in the 'real world'
(iii) demonstrate value for money (but not necessarily be 'cheap')
(iv) convince the reviewers/readers of your (the team's) ability to deliver
(v) mostly be written in plain English. [Your proposal is likely to be seen by many people, including some who will not be familiar with your particular specialisation. Detail and specification may necessitate the use of disciplinary terminology and this will be clear to the peer reviewers, but the ideas you wish to convey and your reasons for doing so should be easily apparent to a wide audience.]
To have any chance of achieving this you MUST ask lots of people to help you improve your (draft) proposal.
1. Have I clearly formulated the problem, have I put it in context of contemporary scientific and theoretical debates, and demonstrated the way in which my work will build on existing research (e.g. by others) and make a contribution to the area?

Zen Master Kanye West Breaks Up Brawl Between Paparazzi With Warm Hug
Subscribe to PopCrush on
We never thought we'd say this, but it seems like Kanye West and Olaf from Frozen have something in common: They both love warm hugs.
It was only in July 2013 that Kanye West and photographer Daniel Ramos entered into a scuffle outside of LAX, a fight that resulted in West being charged with misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft. It wasn't the first nor last time West would find himself in an altercation with paparazzi, the rapper famously (though somewhat understandably) getting into a heated argument with a shutterbug perched outside his home at 4 a.m. roughly two months after the LAX incident.
For now, however, it seems like all that is behind him, with West shockingly changing his attitude towards the ever-persistent paparazzi in this footage obtained by TMZ. On Friday February 19, the rapper was filmed outside LAX once again where he signed autographs, answered some questions, and seemingly broke up a fight between two photographers.
In the midst of the paparazzi madness surrounding West, two photographers got into a heated but brief brawl while vying for a shot of the star. Punches were thrown, legs were kicked, and violence seemed imminent before West, in a surprisingly personal and humane gesture, stepped in between the brawlers and embraced one of the stunned photographers, hugging him into a quiet stupor.
Meanwhile, TMZ's videographer asked the fashion and music mogul if he might have a third baby with his wife, Kim Kardashian, to which he replied with an enthusiastic grin, "Perhaps."
While West seems to be having a mellow moment, the rapper hasn't abandoned his plea for assistance with his self-described $53 million debt. When asked if whether he thought Facebook innovator Mark Zuckerberg would step in, he responded amicably, "I think he might end up helping out."
Who knows—maybe the pararazzi that West saved will donate something to the fund.
