Bad coffee, organ theft, and a twinkie.Mature
"Zeus. Bad." Ben looks at the dog as he flies into the back seat. He answers his phone after getting back in the car. It was Frank again with some news on the Shauna case and some information on a new one.
"Benjamin," he says.
"Some new information has turned up with the victim's remains. Our team has studied twelve previous similar cases that involved twelve other young women ages ranged thirteen to nineteen. Shauna's case, how she was abducted and the manner her body was disposed correlates with the others. We're gathering evidence from all cases but we're not left with much. We've mapped out hot zones on a state map from ranges from Erie all the way to the state of New Jersey. By averaging the victim's last seen locations with their discovered body's positions we can pin point high areas of interest for the killer. We're even going as far as scanning credit and bank card purchase records for key words of weapons and utilities that may have aided the killer. Purchases made by anyone who buys these goods will have their names put on a list just in case with criminal back ground checks done on each."
"Jesus, Frank. Can I eat breakfast first?"
"Shut up."
"Carry on," Ben drinks some of his coffee while Zeus tears up the twinkie package in the back seat.
"Well, that's all we got right now. What I was wondering is if you and your intel can check out these hot spots form time to time. We'll have dispatch send out a flash alert for the case to local districts in these towns. But, for now, I got something else brewing up I'd like you to taste."
"I hope it's better than what I got," Ben puts his coffee down and makes a face of semi-disgust.
"A man named Carlton Decker who is suspected for helping run an under ground black market was dropped off at a local hospital at three A.M. this morning."
"What's wrong with that? He can't run his illegal crap if he's in the hospital."
"Ben. He was missing a kidney and half of his liver."
"Pfftt!" Ben spews coffee on the inside of the windshield.
"Need a napkin? Yeah, the culprit knew what they were doing. They gutted him alive and left him with enough organs to keep tickin'. It seems the intentions were not murderous by the results of the biopsy but it sure as hell wasn't nice."
"Could be. Could very well be. Think you could look into it?" Frank asks.
"Yeah, send me an address and a room number to my e-mail and I'll be on it."
"Much obliged. And tell Karen just because I can't arrest her I will find some voodoo shit if she keeps hitting me!"
"Ha ha, I'll spread the word. Later guy," Ben hangs up and hears the sound of a ruffling plastic wrapper.
"Zeus. What am I going to do with you. You can't eat anymore, buddy," Ben makes a half frown, looks back at the wind shield and begins to clean up the mess. "I can't yell at you for making a mess. I'm just as bad. Karen? Could you look after Zeus for a while? Take him to the apartment and uh... ghost-dog train some or something?"
Karen appears beside him. "I saw everything. It was so funny!!" She's almost in tears.
"Uh-huh. Please? You know I don't wanna take away our decision to keep him. He is cute but I can't have him interfering with work."
"Alright. I guess I could do that. But, don't knock him yet. Maybe he could join us in crime fighting! You wanna be a detective, Zeus? Aw, look at him attack that twinkie! How could you be mad?"
Ben stares at her with a blank expression.
"Okay. This is me leaving with Zeus. Let me know if you need anything, babe!" She takes the dog into her arms and vanishes.

Obama Says Iraq's Leaders Must Hold Country TogetherRoger Runningen and Julianna Goldman
President Barack Obama said he'll decide over the next several days whether to commit the U.S. military to helping Iraq slow an offensive by militants, while warning that the conflict won't end unless Iraq's leaders bridge political differences.
Obama ruled out sending ground forces and emphasized that action isn't imminent. He said the U.S. won't be able to prop up a government that can't unify the country or bolster an army unwilling to confront the Sunni extremists who are waging a battle against the Shiite leadership in Baghdad.
"This is not solely, or even primarily, a military challenge," Obama said at the White House today. "We're not going to allow ourselves to be dragged back" into trying to keep a lid on unrest and have Iraqi leaders undermine chances for an accommodation with foes.
"This should be a wakeup call; Iraq's leaders have to demonstrate a willingness to make hard decisions and compromises on behalf of the Iraqi people in order to bring the country together," he said. "We can't do it for them."
Sunni militants have repeatedly routed the Iraqi army and advanced toward Baghdad, threatening to ignite a sectarian civil war in the country. A representative of Iraq's top Shiite religious leader today urged citizens to take up arms, according to Al-Mada Press. Iran has vowed to support the Shiite-led government, risking a wider conflict.
Multiple Risks
The gains made by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, which split from an al-Qaeda affiliate last year, pose the biggest risk to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government since the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq three years ago. They also threaten the stability of oil production in the north of the country.
Maliki last month asked the U.S. to mount air attacks against militant training camps in western Iraq. Obama has said he wouldn't rule out that option. He emphasized today that there are no plans to put U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq
Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said the U.S. increased its flights of intelligence and surveillance aircraft this week at the request of the Iraqi government. While Kirby didn't provide details, the surveillance involved unarmed drones, according to a defense official who asked not to be identified discussing military operations.
Breaking Momentum
Kirby said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has met "a number of times" with senior officials at the Pentagon to prepare military options, short of U.S. ground troops. He said the options "cover a wide range of military capabilities" intended to break the insurgents' momentum.
Obama said any additional military support is not "going to happen overnight."
Some Republicans accused Obama of failing to quickly address the threat posed by the radical Islamists.
Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, two frequent critics of Obama's policy, said that while they agreed the Iraqi government must bring about a national reconciliation, the threat now is urgent. They called on the president to order airstrikes.
"This is not just Iraq's problem," they said in a joint statement. "Our most immediate priority must be to reverse the advance of a terrorist force that is more radical, violent, and ambitious than Al-Qaeda."
John Negroponte, who was U.S. ambassador to Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and a former director of national intelligence, said the U.S. should authorize air strikes "as quickly as possible."
'Alarming Situation'
"I don't think Baghdad is under imminent threat but, still, it is an alarming situation," Negroponte said in an interview for Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend. He spoke before the president's remarks.
Another concern is oil production in Iraq, the second biggest producer in OPEC. Obama said no major disruption in oil supplies has occurred yet and that other countries in the region should be able to make up the difference if Iraqi crude production is cut. That will be "part of the consultations that'll be taking place during the course of this week," he said.
Iraq produced 3.3 million barrels a day last month, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Kurdish forces this week moved into Kirkuk to protect oil fields while part of the pipeline that exports crude oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan from Kirkuk has fallen under the control of ISIL, as has the link to the 310,000 barrel a day Baiji refinery.
Crude oil futures in New York had their biggest weekly gains this year. West Texas Intermediate for July delivery rose 38 cents today, or 0.4 percent, to settle at $106.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent for July settlement, which expires today, increased 39 cents to $113.41 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
Obama spoke before leaving on a scheduled four-day trip away from Washington to North Dakota and California.

My dad didn't throw me into a truck at the age of 12 and say, "Take her for a rip down the highway." He did however sit me on his lap while we drove on an open farm field and let me steer. After I got the hang of steering he showed me how to work the pedals and I started driving around the open field with him sitting beside me, "Woo-Hoo!" By the time I was 14 I was driving the farm truck within the confines of our family farm, contributing to the work and feeling pretty good about myself.
My education with guns wasn't appreciably different. My dad didn't give me a high powered rifle as a 10 year old but I did get a pump action BB gun to shoot pop cans with. Over time as I demonstrated safety and gained my parents trust I graduated to a pellet gun, then a .22 caliber rifle and as an older teen I was shooting a high powered hunting rifle. I had a lot of adventures in the woods, gun in my hand and loyal dog Bernie by my side.
I always felt like my parents did me a great service by teaching me to use these tools and building up my confidence. They aren't irresponsible people, on the contrary I'd say what they did was very responsible. I was privileged to have been able to learn and own these tools as part of my childhood and I wish that more people had the opportunity to live on a farm and learn to use these tools. I suspect that maybe people wouldn't feel so powerless in their lives as adults if they had been able to experience the kind of freedom, responsibility, accomplishment and personal power that comes from learning and mastering these tools.
I have teenage children and while they have missed out by not growing up on a farm I have endeavoured to do my best as their dad and teach them how to drive and how to shoot. In the same way my dad helped me along in safe baby steps I've helped them along. Driving will obviously make the lives of my kids a whole lot better but it may not be clear to a lot of people how spending time at the range or in the wild learning how to shoot can also make their lives better.
My party posted a picture of my daughter and I (with her permission) at the range to promote the idea that firearms ownership and education is an important part of living in a free society. Immediately I was hit with a series of ugly and disgusting tweets by someone who thought I deserved to be shot by my daughter and that it would be completely hilarious. This wasn't a one tweet knee jerk reaction, this was a tirade of increasingly ugly hate levelled at me and from my perspective more at my daughter. If my daughter accidentally killed me with her car or a gun its not me who would suffer horribly but her.
|My 16 year old daughter and I at the range. Shoots one bullet per trigger pull and holds 5 bullets total. Notice her trigger discipline and sense of confidence.
It was shocking to experience that level of vitriol over what I considered to be an innocent and happy day at the range. I can understand that guns are shocking and scary to people that have never been around them or used them, and Hollywood certainly doesn't help paint a realistic picture of violence and responsible gun ownership, but this issue calls for level headed, objective consideration.
Critics of gun ownership and self-defence rights portray gun owners as nuts who imagine an invasion or doomsday scenario is coming, or that someday they may have to rise up and water the tree of liberty with blood! That is not the case with me. I benefited from learning how to shoot and so has my daughter.
Experiencing first hand how powerful a gun in you own hands actually is or how powerful your own body is when using martial arts techniques under the instruction of a mature and knowledgeable instructor is valuable education on many levels. In my experience kids who receive this type of instruction become less infatuated with violence, respect their own personal power, gain confidence in themselves, understand the need for discipline, walk taller, and project a sense of power and humility that makes them both far less likely to be a bully and far less likely to be the victim of a bully.
My kids are almost adults now. I've taught them how to drive and how to shoot. I don't expect my kids will own guns anytime soon and that is fine with me, its their choice and gun ownership isn't for everyone, it comes with certain responsibilities and obligations that cut into time and resources. I've done my part to create responsible and productive citizens of the world. I trust my kids aren't going to kill anybody if they choose to drive or shoot because they have received responsible education in these matters and society will be better off because of it.
I'd like to address the tragedy of the 9 year old girl who accidentally killed her instructor with an Uzi set to fully automatic. There were a number of lapses of judgement in this case that should not have occurred. I would certainly not be comfortable putting an automatic weapon in the hands of a 9 year old. Pellet guns and .22 caliber single action rifles are far more appropriate at that age when it comes to fire arms education in my opinion. It is akin to allowing a 9 year old to drive a pickup truck in an open field by themselves and then getting run over by them. Go-karts or small ATV's are a better place to start kids learning to handle motorized vehicles.
When kids run-over and kill siblings or parents with vehicles it is usually framed as a tragic accident. There aren't hateful diatribes against automobile enthusiasts, or calls to ban automobile ownership for everyone except government employees. There aren't people expressing joy when automobile owners are killed by their own vehicle. This tells me that most of the rhetoric around guns is purely driven by emotion and ignorance.
The fact that Switzerland has a military grade rifle in almost every home and Chicago is a legislated gun-free zone ought to tell you at the very least that guns aren't the root cause of violence. I'm not a gun enthusiast, I don't enjoy shooting the way some people do, I go to the range like I go the gym - begrudgingly and not enough. I do recognize that societies tend to be better off when good people are armed and trained. In fact I consider it a requisite for a just and free society for good guys to be able to wield protective force against aggressors and I think that the more people that receive the kind of education my kids and I received, the more civil a society becomes.
People who decry gun ownership and criticize me for educating my kids fail to understand the ways in which they hypocritically contribute to a more violent and uncivil society. They have no problem asking for a state to be an umbrella corporation whose sole monopoly purpose and only tool is using force against its citizen. They fail to understand that every law they cry for from this umbrella corp is a threat to shoot someone dead for non-compliance. Think this is a hyperbolic statement? You can test it by simply disobeying any inane law and refusing to obey law enforcement. Will they start to escalate force to get compliance or will they leave you alone? If you match their escalation of force with equal and opposite protective force how do you think it will end?
The irony of the anti-gun crowd is that they can't have the society they themselves want without some individuals threatening to use guns against other individuals. They are actually very pro-gun violence, as long as the violence comes from the state. I don't think it is an accident that proponents of big government also tend to be people who have never received training or exposure to firearms. This is why they are so cavalier about asking other people from the state to use firearms to aggress against their fellow citizens. If you want to have the state use force on your behalf you should at least have the integrity to be willing to pick up the gun yourself and point it at the people doing the thing you hate. People who have grown up shooting guns tend to understand the serious power they represent and respect that power by not demanding others use it on their behalf.
The anti-gun crowd quick to decry the militarization of police never having considered that perhaps its dangerous to be a cop because of the policies they ask police to enforce, that perhaps advocating for big government is exactly what is leading to police militarization. They never consider that perhaps continuing to ask law enforcement to use more and more force against people they signed up to protect is creating the very conditions they fear so much.
Libertarians believe that force ought to be used ONLY protectively and not to control and force people and so we are the only party that can claim to consistently be anti-gun violence. We only ask government to do what we ourselves have the right and the willingness to do - protect individuals from aggression.

"The recent rise of Paul Clement from PE teacher to right-hand man for Carlo Ancelotti during title wins at Chelsea and PSG made me think of former teachers such as Gérard Houllier and José Mourinho, and made me wonder – who are the most successful former teachers in football?" muses Bill Maclachlan.
"Well, the name that immediately springs to mind is Louis van Gaal," says Bart van Hoof, and others. His achievements as a player might have been fairly modest, but he did have a sideline as a PE teacher. And as a manager, the Holland coach has won three different national leagues (with Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich), the Champions League, the Uefa Cup and a smattering of other domestic trophies. "If you watch him training," says Raymond Starke, "he still acts like a PE teacher, with his whistle and loud voice."
Raymond has other suggestions, too: Rinus Michels and Guus Hiddink. The late, great Michels taught PE at a school for deaf children before becoming head coach at Ajax. As a player, he had won the Dutch league twice; in 27 years as a manager he notched up another four Eredivise titles, the European Cup, one La Liga title, the 1988 European Championship, and a World Cup final appearance.
Hiddink, meanwhile, spent much of the 1970s and early 80s teaching PE at a school for troubled children. "I've joked I still feel I'm working with hard-to-raise kids," he wrote in his autobiography. "I had to deal with kids from tough backgrounds, little criminals sometimes. It is possible to translate that kind of work in to coaching full-time footballers." It didn't take him long to win the first of six Eredivisie titles as PSV manager, along with the KNVB Cup (four times), the European Cup, the Intercontinental Cup (with Real Madrid in 1998) and the FA Cup with Chelsea a few years back.
It's not all about the Netherlands, though. "Roy Hodgson must come close," says James Straughan. "He was a PE teacher at Alleyn's School in south London and has 12 titles to his name – not to mention nearly winning the Europa League with Fulham … as well as making Switzerland look good." He also taught at Monks Hill in Croydon in the mid-1970s. "Even then everyone wanted to play for him. He was a really intelligent, charismatic guy," his former pupil Ramzi Musallam told the Croydon Advertiser last year. "A year after he left I was reading a copy of Shoot, which did regular profiles of foreign teams. This time it was a Swedish team called Halmstad. There was a picture of their manager and it looked just like Mr Hodgson. When I realised it was him, I couldn't believe it."
Udo Lattek, suggested by Mateen Siddiqui, also inspired a certain amount of disbelief, hopping almost directly from teaching to the 1966 World Cup as assistant to Helmut Schön. Come 1970 he was in charge of Bayern Munich, winning the German Cup in his first season and going on to win three consecutive titles, as well as the European Cup. At Borussia Mönchengladbach, meanwhile, he won another two league titles, plus the Uefa Cup. Later in his career he returned to Bayern and won another five trophies, making him the most successful Bundesliga coach ever. He also won the Cup Winners' Cup and Copa del Rey with Barcelona, no less – but when Barça thrashed Bayern in the Champions League quarter-final in April 2009, he was spotted having a good old cry at half-time.
Mateen also mentioned Oscar Tabárez – El Maestro – the twice South American Coach of the Year who used to be a primary school teacher. Besides winning trophies at national and international level, he has published scholarly articles on Uruguay's decline as a footballing nation.
We propose that the Scotland and Celtic forward Julie Fleeting also be included here. It's sort of cheating, since most female footballers in the UK work a day job as well as playing, but that's not really a reason to diminish their achievements. Especially when you consider that Fleeting, who teaches PE in north Ayrshire, used to commute from Scotland to London once a week to play for Arsenal, where she won eight top-flight titles, five FA Cups and the Champions League (in Arsenal's stunning quadruple-winning 2006-07 season). During the week she trained a couple of times a week with some local Under-21s.
A final note: according to Stuart Brown, Reading's goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo should also be on the list, having nurtured the talents of Alex McCarthy, Adam Federici and Mikkel Andersen, among others. But we've not been able to corroborate word that Bibbo taught at a girls' school after retiring from playing. "Reading are also one of the teams who were managed by taxi-driving Terry Bullivant," adds Stuart. "Which probably demands another discussion, around the careers managers had between jobs." Uh oh.
"The Manic Street Preachers recently booked their tour dates around the Lions Tour in Australia," notes Mark Jones. "Are there any examples of bands/musicians who have planned tours/dates around football fixtures?"
Steve Doohan wasn't the only one to suggest Half Man Half Biscuit, who decided against appearing on The Tube one Friday night in the 1980s, on account of it clashing with a Tranmere Rovers game, but he was the only one to send us some quotes from Nigel Blackwell. Here they are: "We were happy to do the thing at first, naturally, but then I realised it would involve missing the match, which I didn't really feel comfortable about." He and bassist Neil Crossley were the ones who didn't want to miss the match ("the others weren't arsed about football much"). Channel 4 offered to fetch the band to Prenton Park in a helicopter, but they would still have to miss the first half. "We weren't particularly sold on the idea of what may have been perceived as the antics of big-time Charlies."
Sticking to the 80s, here's John Wray with a delightful story about John Peel. "In 1985, Peel booked a DJ gig in Southampton knowing that Saints only had to get past Barnsley in an FA Cup tie at the Dell to make it a Southampton v Liverpool game in the next round. Sadly for John, Barnsley beat Southampton 2-1 and on the evening of John's gig in Southampton, his beloved Liverpool FC travelled to Oakwell instead. Happily for John it was on telly and Liverpool won 4-0."
Sticking to games on the box: "In 1998, James were second on the bill on the main stage at Glastonbury," recalls James Kirk. "They asked to cut short their set, in order that they (and the crowd, for whom it was on the big screens) could watch the second half of England v Colombia at the World Cup." And quite right, too – they'd have missed a couple of corking goals, otherwise.
Sticking to … nope, not going to work, this one – we're going back to the 1980s. "Damian Lovelock, lead singer of Sydney band The Celibate Rifles, was a football tragic – very unusual for a 1980s Australian," begins Rob Moline. "I remember him on (Aussie) TV once telling of arranging an unlikely Sicilian or Sardinian tour date, in exchange for the promise of meeting Gianni Rivera. Probably Sardinia – can't find any back-up for this story, but the web says he's a Cagliari fan." Know the story? Email us please!
Last week, we scoured through some of the most unlikely football computer games of all time. But there's more …
"I've turned to the excellent and extremely comprehensive World of Spectrum site and turned up a few more footballers appearing on old ZX Spectrum game covers," emails Rayner Simpson. "The players aren't particularly obscure, but the games certainly are. Rothmans Football Quick Quiz Vol.1 (1985): a tie-in with Rothmans Football Yearbook, back in more innocent times when cigarette companies could do this sort of thing, has Peter Reid and Arsenal legend Tony Woodcock on the front; World Cup Soccer (1986): came with a 32-page book featuring an introduction from Ray Clemence (who's also on the cover). An odd choice … Clemence only ever went to one World Cup (1982) and, thanks to Peter Shilton, didn't get a game; MicroProse Soccer (1989): the Spanish version has an artist's rendition of who I believe to be Steve McMahon and Stuart McCall (who had left Bradford the previous season); and ZX Football Manager 2005 (2004) – yes, some people were still making Speccy games well in to the naughties. If I had to guess: Juninho (Middlesborough) and David Ginola (Spurs) but the dates don't add up." We particularly like the cover blurb:
"The current manager of Tottenham Hotspur has been seriously injured following a freak lawnmower-related incident. As part of a government initiative that provides top positions for unemployed Spectrum owners with beards, you've now got the job. Are you up to the job? Or could Alan Sugar do better?"
Meanwhile, Anthony Kyne got in touch regarding Alex Ferguson's Player Manager 2001. "As one of the senior developers on the game, I'd like to point out that I also disagreed with the use of Alex Ferguson, but back in the days where the high street stores ruled the roost it was the only way of getting shelf space," he writes. "I wanted to call it Andy Gray's From the Dugout! I would like to address what you put at the end of your paragraph on the game – 'Championship Manager is wasn't'. Actually it was. Eidos bought the game and team from us and some of the code from this went into making the critically acclaimed Championship Manager 2010. It was also the closest you could get to Championship Manager on a console due to lack of memory on the PlayStation back in those days."
"I recently noticed that Marseille's Josip Skoblar was the top scorer in the French league for three seasons in a row (1971-73). Is this a world record?" asked Claude Peterson in 2010.
No, Claude, that is not even close to being a world record. In fact, it's not even a record at Marseille, for Jean-Pierre Papin was Ligue 1 top scorer in five consecutive seasons (1988-1992). An impressive feat – unless you're Imre Schlosser, the most prolific striker in the history of the Hungarian league and a man who can boast of having been top scorer six seasons in a row (1909-1914) when playing for Ferencvaros. Just for good measure, he then topped the charts once more when with MTK Hungaria in 1917.
But even that achievement can be beaten: Sotiris Kaiafas of Omonia Nicosia was top scorer in the Cypriot league eight times between 1972 and 1982 (the 39 goals he struck in the 1975-76 season earned him the European Golden Boot). You will note, though, that there were a couple of seasons in that run in which Kaiafas was not No1, so if it's back-to-back chart-topping you're looking for, then you must turn to Atilio García. Born in Buenos Aires in 1914, this striker spent most of his career with the Montevideo club Nacional and was top scorer in the Uruguayan league for eight consecutive seasons, from 1938 to 1946. Now that's consistency.

"I was watching Swansea start their European adventure and it got me thinking who has the best all-time record in Europe," muses Matt Farrell. "I can't find any team that can better Coventry's record of P4 W3 L1 – a 75% win rate."
"Has there ever been a match where both opposing managers were sacked before their next game (end of season excluding)?" asks James Hamilton.
"Last weekend in MLS, Salt Lake's Alvaro Saborío readied to take a penalty, only for the match to be delayed 62 minutes for a tornado warning in the vicinity of the Colorado stadium, before scoring," writes James Grossi. "Has there ever been a longer time between a penalty award and conversion?"

I just had a breast lift w/o implants. Now I'm wishing I would have gotten implants. How hard to add them?
Would I need to wait a few months before implants could be added? What is the smallest size of implant? I nyst want a c cup
Doctor Answers 4
Once you have a lift
you should heal and assess just what is needed to make you happier. It could be an implant but if you don't need excessive size, and you have adequate fat that could be harvested, you could simply have fat grafting to the upper poles. So heal and then decide... you may end up liking what you have and not really need anything else.
I just had a breast lift w/o implants. Now I'm wishing I would have gotten implants. How hard to add them?
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient's appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue..
Implants after a breast lift.
Thank you for your question. A breast augmentation can be done after a lift. Many surgeons will stage the procedure and do a lift first and then the implants. There are many tradeoffs of staging versus single stage but if one has had a lift more than likely they can have implants once the healing of the lift has stabilized. I would recommend starting with a consult from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in breast surgery. They would be able to evaluate and make recommendations. Good luck.

It is not difficult to add implants after a lift, but you will have to wait until the lift has settled. Best of luck with your decision to move forward.

Dear [Recipients Name],
Thank you very much for offering me the position of Human Resources Director. I believe that this is precisely the kind of challenge that I need at this point in my career, and will be happy to take on this responsibility.
I do have a concern to raise regarding the salary. I feel that the compensation does not quite measure up to the level of responsibility that this job entails. It is not very different from what I am receiving at the moment, especially after we deduct taxes and health coverage. Also, it does not seem to take into account that one of my primary responsibilities is the reduction of the attrition rate, which will eventually translate into more profit for the company. With these in mind, I would like to request for a 15% increase to the original proposal.
I am quite open to discussing this further with you. Please feel free to get in touch with me at your earliest convenience. I hope that this merits your consideration. Thank you very much!

Kena came to live at the Stevenson Companion Animal Life-Care
Center in 1997. She was definitely one of the most loving cats you
will ever meet. Her long, black hair and gleaming green eyes were
absolutely gorgeous. We miss her presence daily.
It was learned upon Kena's arrival at the center that she
suffered with diabetes. Her twice daily injections of insulin kept
her healthy and happy. We were prepared to deal with possible
complications of her diabetes in the future, but we were shocked
and saddened to lose her prematurely to cancer. Kena was a joy to
care for and we will always remember her.
Rufus came to the center in July of 2015 with his twin brother,
Tiger. He is a beautiful boy. Rufus is a welcome

From the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, NT, Hong Kong
1998 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Objectives: New minimally invasive approaches for cardiac surgical procedures are constantly being developed in the hope of decreasing patient morbidity and enhancing the postoperative recovery. This report reviews the use of an upper T mini-sternotomy approach to aortic valve surgery.
Patients: Nine consecutive nonselected patients (5 men, 4 women, mean age, 66 years) underwent isolated aortic valve replacement with the use of this approach. Two patients had isolated aortic valve stenosis, three had isolated aortic valve incompetence, and four patients had mixed aortic valve disease.
Results: In all cases, an excellent view of the aortic valve was obtained, aortic valve replacement with a bileaflet mechanical prostheses was performed, and no intraoperative difficulties were encountered. Mean aortic cross-clamp time was 83 min and mean cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion time was 97 min. All patients were extubated in the operating room at the end of the surgical procedure, and there were no postoperative complications. All patients were discharged home on postoperative day 3, and there were no late complications.
Conclusion: Through an upper T mini-sternotomy, aortic valve surgery can be performed in the conventional manner using standard surgical instruments with no alteration in cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial protection routines. With this method, postoperative pain is reduced and patient recovery is expeditious.

Schumer Plans Florida Swing to Court Jewish Vote
Hoping to make up ground in a key battleground state, Democrats are sending in some of their big guns to court the Jewish vote.
New York Senator Chuck Schumer will pinch hit for Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama in the Sunshine state this weeend.
Schumer, architect of the Democrats' gains in the Senate, will speak with voters at the Turnberry Jewish Center in Aventura, Temple Solel in Hollywood and Temple Beth Shalom in Century Village in Boca Raton on Sunday, Sept. 7.
Republican John McCain has stronger than usual support for a GOP candidate in part because of concerns about Obama among Jewish voters. Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman has also provided a critical boost for McCain among Jewish voters.

Zack Greinke is putting himself in a great situation. Not only is the 28-year-old Milwaukee Brewers' ace dominating hitters again, he's doing it in a contract year. With the Brewers allegedly suspending contract talks with Greinke just last month, it looks like Greinke might take his chance on the free-agent market.
If Greinke were to hit free-agency, he and Cole Hamels would be the two most-sought-after starters. The Brewers have said they are willing to sign Greinke to a long-term extension — but based on recent pitcher deals — Greinke may price himself out of their budget.
Since breaking into the league in 2004, Greinke has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball. During his career, Greinke has accumulated 32.7 WAR — which makes him the ninth-best pitcher during that period. But Greinke also carries a bit of a stigma: In his sophomore season, Greinke slumped badly and ended his season with a 5.80 ERA. During the spring of 2006, it was revealed that Greinke had been dealing with a social anxiety disorder and depression. He pitched just 6.1 innings that year.
Even with those struggles, Greinke's overall performance has been impressive. Using our leaderboards, we can compare Greinke to similar pitchers during recent years. Greinke's WAR total puts him in elite company. The chart only sorts pitchers through their age-28 seasons — since that's when Greinke will hit the free-agent market. And because Greinke just entered his age-28 season, his WAR total should rise before he hits the market.
The top player on the list, CC Sabathia, is actually a pretty decent comparison for Greinke. Both players made their major league debuts at 20 years old, and both hit free-agency around the same age (Sabathia was 27, Greinke will be 28). That off-season, Sabathia signed a seven-year, $161 million deal with the New York Yankees. Greinke wasn't as good as Sabathia during those early years, but he was comparable.
Greinke compares even more favorably to Johan Santana. Even though Santana wasn't a full-time player until he was 23, both players have produced nearly the same amount of value through their age-28 seasons. If Greinke can muster a 5 WAR season this year, he'll actually have produced more value than Santana by the time he hits the market. Santana — who
reached free-agency was given an extension after being traded to the New York Mets right before his age-28 season — received a six-year, $137.5 million contract.
The two players immediately below Greinke — Justin Verlander and Roy Oswalt — signed extensions with their clubs and never reached free-agency. While their deals aren't comparable to what Greinke will make, they give us a good idea of why players test the market. Even though all three pitchers put up comparable numbers, Verlander made $80 million while Oswalt made $73 million.
The last two interesting names on the list are Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Cain recently signed a six-year, $127.5 million extension with the San Francisco Giants. Many analysts think Greinke will use that deal as a benchmark during his negotiations. While Lincecum hasn't signed a big extension yet, he's rumored to have turned down a five-year, $100 million offer from the Giants.
Since Cain's deal was an extension, it's reasonable that Greinke would expect to make more on the open market. While we don't know exactly what kind of deal Lincecum is seeking, it wouldn't be a surprise if Greinke was after the same contract. The Sabathia and Santana contracts give us an idea of what similar pitchers made just four or five years ago. If we adjust for inflation, Greinke could justifiably ask for something between Sabathia's and Santana's contracts. Because of his past issues, teams might be hesitant to offer Greinke such an expensive contract. But based on his performance, he deserves to be paid like an elite starter.

As any one will tell you, a bad night of drinking always starts with "lets do these Jäger shots," The Hangover does the same but just kicks it up with a little bit of the date rape drug. All that combined with Vegas sets up for one hell of a party that none of these bachelor party attendees can remember. The guys wake up in a hotel room that looks like a scene from a Hunter S. Thomson novel mixed with the added fun of a tiger in the bathroom, and a baby in the closet.
After finding babies and tigers oh my, the group soon realizes that their friend Doug (Justin Bartha) is MIA and so begins the hunt for their companion and their memory. This movie felt like the Old School sequel that I know many of you have been waiting for, all the characters where there just played by different actors and given different names. The casting is well done and each character is well played right down to little baby Carlos, aptly named that by the bearded Alan Garner played by Zach Galifianakis (The Sarah Silverman Program).
Zach has to be the real standout in this movie, as every line he delivers gets a laugh. He plays Doug's soon to be Brother in law, a strange man that he self proclaims as a one man wolf pack until he meets his fellow "wolves," they are out to "roam through the desert in search of cocaine and strippers." Though Zach is the real star of this buddy movie his fellow drunken adventure detectives are great as well. Ed Helms best known for his work in "The Office" is also good in this he plays Stu, a dentist with girlfriend issues and a missing tooth. He also belts out a wonderful musical interlude over a piano in the middle of the film.
It's little things like a missing tooth that give The Hangover it's own special twist, as the audience along with the characters wonder about where things like teeth and tigers have gone to or come from. I really want to go on and on about these little discoveries but I just can't ruin those surprises for you.
One of the good things is that the trailer ruins nothing, as in other summer comedies the trailer tends to ruin all the best jokes and really takes a lot from the whole movie. They have decided to go the route of other films and have alternate scenes in the trailer and some trailer scenes can be heard in the background of other scenes. Though the Tyson cameo was a little ruined in the trailer, later scenes with the champ make up for this in leaps and bounds.
About the only problem I had with the movie was Bradley Cooper who plays the Beanie Campbell (Vince Vaughn, Old School) character in this. He just doesn't deliver the wise ass dialog quite the way Vince can but in this 100 minute laugh fest, that is the only complaint I have. Even small roles like the those played by Ken Jeong, who plays Mr. Chow, an Asian gangster that is holding Doug hostage in exchange for $80,000 that the boys had unknowingly taken from Chow, are wonderful.
Over all the Hangover delivers everything you could want from it and more. For those of us that wished there would be a sequel to Old School some day, director Todd Phillips (Old School) has given us the next best thing, The Hangover, along with one of the best credit roll picture montages in comic history.

Brain Aneurysm
weak area of an artery supplying the brain with blood expands or bulges, it is called an intracranial or brain aneurysm.
aneurysms burst, and blood from the leaking artery seeps into the brain in more than 30,000 people every year.
1person in 15 in the United States will develop a brain, or cerebral, aneurysm during their lifetime.
Between 10 and 15 percent of them die before they get to a hospital, and more than half of the rest die within a month of the rupture. Half the survivors are paralyzed or suffer other neurological damage.
Brain aneurysms occur in people of every age, but they are most common between the ages of 30 and 60. Women are slightly more likely than men to experience a brain aneurysm.
inherited diseases
connective tissue disorders
some kidney diseases
certain circulatory disorders
Head trauma, some infections, high blood pressure and other circulatory system diseases can also cause aneurysms.
Peripheral vision deficits
Thinking or processing problems
Speech complications
Perceptual problems
Sudden changes in behavior
Loss of balance and coordination
Decreased concentration
Short-term memory difficulty
Nausea and vomiting
Stiff neck or neck pain
Blurred vision or double vision
Pain above and behind the eye
Dilated pupils
Sensitivity to light
Loss of sensation
treated with surgery to expose Aneurysm
Closed off with a clip and removed
By inserting tiny spring-like platinum coils (dozen or more) into the Aneurysm
The cells that form the innermost layer of arteries (endothelial cells) grow over the clot healing.
Size of ball can be calibrated to the size of Aneurysm
Ball has no parts to shift back into the artery to cause unwanted blood clots there.
To insert the balls requires pressing into a narrow cylinder pass through a catheter. Once through the catheter, the compressed SMP ball can be steered into the aneurysm, where a beam of laser light shone through an optical fiber in the catheter hits the SMP cylinder and causes it to return to its original ball shape, filling the aneurysm.

Kristin Clarke, CAE, is a contributor and books editor for Associations Now.
Five tips to help you meet global expectations for conference sustainability.
Association meeting planners are facing new sustainability-related expectations from their members. As a result, attention to "green meetings"—gatherings that incorporate practices and goals that lighten their environmental impact—has risen in the past three years, especially as the number of international meetings grows.
"Concern for the environment and social issues has been very prominent in Europe, and awareness is increasing all over the world, although in some developing countries it is a challenge to lift people out of poverty by stimulating economic growth in the most sustainable way," says Robin Lokerman, chief executive officer, Institutional Division, MCI Group, in Singapore. (Lokerman also chairs The Center for Association Leadership.)
"Associations that organize meetings outside the U.S. need to take environmental and social issues into account," he continues. "We see more and more of our clients reporting the 'triple bottom line'—business results (financial, content, and so forth), environmental results (impact reduction), and social results (leaving a legacy)."
This takes forethought, but the payback is worth it, notes Lokerman. Benefits include potential cost savings, lower risk, higher attendee-satisfaction rates, warmer relations with local vendors, demonstrated respect for the local culture and multicultural values, and a lighter environmental footprint.
He shares five tips to make your international event more sustainable:
Key to success is communication with members about why and how the organization has embraced sustainability at the event. Communication should continue even after the event, so attendees know how much waste was composted or recycled, the impact of a volunteer community service event, and other metrics.
"We advise our clients to ensure they implement sustainability principles for their events and clearly communicate these in their marketing materials, as well as measure and communicate the impact of their event," Lokerman notes.

The weather here has been beatuiful, the mud is drying and we have even more beautiful farm babies! Lambing season continues, we now have a total of 6 healthy little lambs...5 rams (boys) and one ewe. Last years we fininshed the season with 4 ewes and only 2 rams, so I guess it's just the boys' year this time! We also have three more ewes who we are watching closely, as they have yet to deliver.
Both our sows have delivered their piglets, with Fern giving birth a few days after Char. We have a grand total of 19 healthy little piglets! Wow!
The incubator is filling with eggs and our first chicks of the season will hatch next weekend. I've missed the soft peeping of chicks, so I'm excited about that, too. I also spotted the first goose egg of the season this week. This goose found a nice spot under the rabbit cages in the back yard. It's fairly out of the way, but I can watch from my kitchen window, so I'm hoping she sticks with this spot for hewr nest this year. I noticed this location as I moved the bantam Japanese chickens from that rabbit cage back into their summer home. It is a bottomless pen called a chicken tractor, and now that the snow has melted, I can put those birds back out on grass. It sure is nice to see them in the yard again!
The plants are coming to life as well. I noticed the first glimpses of crimson popping up through the mulch covering our rhubarb patches. The blueberry bushes are showing little buds and it looks like my rosebush survuved the winter. A few early leaves of green mark where the oregano, thyme and lemon balm are in the herb garden as well. The daffodils are poking up and I'm sure the forsythia and lilac bushes will be blooming soon, as the buds are starting to swell on the branches.
Besides all the spring excitement, I'm also looking forward to the Farm to Table conference set for next Friday & Saturday at the David L. Lawerence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. While the cost of a table for the 2 days was a bit out of our farm's advertising budget this year, we belong to the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, aka PASA. They are featuring member farms and giving free samples of products at a table there, so I've already sent them a box of our jams and mustards. Dan and I are planning on attending on Friday as well, and if all goes according to plan, we'll be at the PASA table when our farm is featured to answer questions and have some of our products to sell. I think this is really neat, but I'm also just as excited to check out what other farms in our region are doing. When I find out the actual time our farm is scheduled, I'll be sure to post it so that you can stop by and say hello if you're there!
