Washington (UPI) Apr 13, 2010
U.S. farmers who grow genetically engineered crops can realize substantial economic benefits, but they should also be aware of weed technologies they use.
A report from the National Research Council says GE crops resistant to the herbicide glyphosate -- a main component in Roundup and other commercial weed killers -- could develop more weed problems as weeds evolve their own resistance to glyphosate. That, scientists said, means GE crops could lose their effectiveness unless farmers also use other proven weed and insect management practices.
The researchers said their report provides the first comprehensive assessment of how GE crops are affecting all U.S. farmers, including those who grow conventional or organic crops.
"Many American farmers are enjoying higher profits due to the widespread use of certain genetically engineered crops and are reducing environmental impacts on and off the farm," said Portland State University Professor David Ervin, who led the study. "However, these benefits are not universal for all farmers. And as more GE traits are developed and incorporated into a larger variety of crops, it's increasingly essential that we gain a better understanding of how genetic engineering technology will affect U.S. agriculture and the environment now and in the future. Such gaps in our knowledge are preventing a full assessment of the environmental, economic and other impacts of GE crops on farm sustainability."

New hotel plans by Zumbro River #rochmn
Plans for a new 103-room, extended hotel in southwest Rochester are starting to move ahead.
North Rock Real Estate, a tandem effort of Jeff Brown Jr. and Mike Zirbes, is proposing building a four-story Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel along the Zumbro River, next to the under construction Red44 luxury apartment complex.
Both projects are located at Mayowood Road and 16th Street Southwest, just across the river from the Apache Mall.
The Red44 developers, Minneapolis-based CPM Cos. and Roers Investments LLC of Long Lake, Minn., plan to have their 159-unit apartment complex ready to open late next summer.
North Rock hopes to start construction of the Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel in the spring. It will stand near 16th Street and along the river.
"The idea is to target people staying for a days with a place to be comfortable with unique amenities," said Brown Jr.
The hotel, as proposed, will include a large grilling patio overlooking the river as well as a pool and easy access to the adjacent bike path. Details for the hotel have not been completely finalized yet.
Next to the hotel, North Rock would like to build a commercial building of up to 6,000 square feet to house retail shops and/restaurants. Plans for that project are not as far along as the ones for the hotel.

Shigellosis General InformationÂ
What is it?
Shigella is a bacterium that causes a diarrheal illness called shigellosis.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of shigellosis include diarrhea (often bloody), abdominal pain, stomach cramps, and fever. Sometimes people infected with Shigella have no symptoms at all, but can still pass the bacteria to others.
Symptoms usually begin 1 to 3 days after being exposed to Shigella.
How long does it last?
Symptoms usually last about 5 to 7 days. Treatment for shigellosis may be available from your health care provider. People with mild symptoms usually recover on their own without treatment.
How is it spread?
Shigella is found in the stool (feces) of infected people, in food or water contaminated by an infected person, and on surfaces that have been touched by infected people. Shigellosis often occurs in toddlers who are not fully toilet-trained. Family members and playmates of children infected with Shigella are at high risk of becoming infected. Shigella can spread easily in environments such as day care facilities.
People become infected with Shigella by:
- Eating food or drink liquids contaminated by an infected person.
- Touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then touching their mouth or putting a contaminated object into their mouth.
- Swallowing recreational water contaminated with Shigella (recreational water includes lakes, streams, rivers, springs, ponds, swimming pools, hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and water park fountains).
- Not washing hands after using the bathroom or changing diapers and then eating foods.
What should I do if I have symptoms?
  - Contact your health care provider.
  - Wash your hands often.
How can I prevent Shigella infections?
  - Wash your hands with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds
- After using the bathroom
- After changing diapers
- Before bathing
- If someone in your household is sick
- Supervise young children to be sure they are properly washing their hands
  - Do not send your child to daycare or preschool if he or she has diarrhea.
  - Avoid preparing food for others while you have symptoms.
  - Clean and disinfect surfaces with household bleach immediately after vomiting or diarrheal accidents.
Healthy Swimming Tips:
  - Do not swallow water or get water in your mouth while swimming.
  - Take a shower before swimming.
  - Do not swim when you have diarrhea.
  - When swimming, take your kids on frequent bathroom breaks.
  - Change diapers in changing rooms, no poolside or on the beach. Wash hands after changing diapers.

Where Are the Men...
Don't Send a Grandpa to Do a Mother's Work
Either I have forgotten what it is like to be solely responsible for a two year- old, or I have gotten out of shape— both physically and mentally.
Where Are the Men When You Need One?
The girls are ready, trained, and waiting for their man to come find them, but the men are not finding them. Why?
Hands-On Boys
Most men work with their hands. Even whose who are stuck with an office job tinker around with a lawn mower or garden on the weekends.
Training Boys
I am often asked how to raise boys. It has been so long since my boys were 12 and 14 that I had forgotten much of what we did, but because we have the Russian boys back with us this summer, relating to them again has refreshed my memory considerably.

Kristin Cavallari's Cosmo Bikini Bash
What do you get when you add hundreds of babes in bikinis, a hot reality star, and a chick magazine? Eye candy overload!
Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari hit Cosmopolitan Magazine's Second Annual Bikini Bash in Miami yesterday for the country's largest swimsuit photo shoot. Hundreds of scantily clad women spell out the word C-O-S-M-O for an aerial photo to run in the mag's August issue.
The bubbly blonde wore a green bikini with light denim shorts. Her upcoming flick, Van Wilder 3 is slated for release on DVD on Tuesday, March 17th. (Who knew there was a third one?!)
Despite being a gal known for her party girl persona, Kristen wants to be taken seriously. She tells the MiamiHerald.com, "I want to go dark — dye my hair and do something really dramatic. Kind of the way Angelina Jolie did in Changeling, when you go into yourself and really bring it."
If by "really bring it" she means looking strung out and searching for a lost child, she could simply hold up a mirror. Ouch!

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 28)
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has called upon both the West German and French governments to act swiftly on reports that infamous Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner is prepared to give himself up for trial. An article on Brunner published in the West German magazine, Bunte, claims that Brunner is prepared to give himself up as long as he has assurances that he will not land in Israeli hands.
A deputy and chief aide to Adolf Eichmann, he was responsible for deportations of at least 128,500 Jews, and was sentenced to death in absentia in 1954 in France for crimes against humanity. Brunner, who lives under the name of George Fischer in Damascus, is 73 years old.
Wiesenthal Center officials had previously met with French diplomats to urge renewed efforts to bring Brunner to justice, and have scheduled meetings with French Justice Ministry and Foreign Ministry officials in Paris next month.
"We have contacted those officials in Paris, to get immediate clarification as to what steps, if any, are available to the French," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Center.
An official of the French Foreign Ministry said they would confirm with the Wiesenthal Center within the next day or so whether or not France will take additional steps in the Brunner case. "Our legal counsel, Martin Mendelsohn, has asked the West German Embassy to clarify the claims in the Bunte story, and to reconfirm West Germany's commitment to try him for his deep involvement in the 'final solution'," Cooper said.
Brunner, who is also wanted by Greece, Austria and Czechoslovakia, heads the Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals. Others include Leon Degrelle, former head of the Belgian SS, who was sentenced to death in absentia in Belgium after the war. Degrelle, an unrepentant Nazi, gives lectures and seminars on Nazi history, and contributes revisionist articles to publications of the notorious Institute for Historical Review, a Center spokesman said. Also on the Center's list is Walter Kutschmann, now 71 years old, a former gestapo leader, who has been identified by Simon Wiesenthal as having escaped to Argentina after the war. It has been reported that he lives in the coastal town of Miramar, Argentina, under the name of Pedro Ricardo Olmo.

A continuum model of the growth of engineered epidermal skin substitutes
Adams, Matthew P., Mallet, Daniel G., & Pettet, Graeme J. (2012) A continuum model of the growth of engineered epidermal skin substitutes. In Proceedings of the 10th Biennial Engineering Mathematics and Applications Conference, The ANZIAM Journal, Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics, University of Technology Sydney, N.S.W, C90-C109.

We present a porous medium model of the growth and deterioration of the viable sublayers of an epidermal skin substitute. It consists of five species: cells, intracellular and extracellular calcium, tight junctions, and a hypothesised signal chemical emanating from the stratum corneum. The model is solved numerically in Matlab using a finite difference scheme. Steady state calcium distributions are predicted that agree well with the experimental data. Our model also demonstrates epidermal skin substitute deterioration if the calcium diffusion coefficient is reduced compared to reported values in the literature.

While at the Gap the entire division of Gen. Schurz appeared to have run wild.
It was Schurz, as I have said, who brought Lamar and me together.
One other conversation with Mr. Schurz strongly impressed me with his exalted character and the memory of it lingers in my mind.
He and Schurz "froze together," as, brought together by Schurz, he and I "froze together."
Milroy was driven, but Schurz and Schenck held their position.
Schurz encouraged me and said he would speak to Oswald Ottendorfer about having me appointed.
Brown was governor of Missouri, and next to Schurz the most prominent leader of the Liberal movement.
I wrote to Cleveland about the matter and how it was regarded by some of his friends, mentioning Schurz among others.
Schurz made comments on the case which the Administration Senators could not answer and dared not leave unanswered.
But Mr. Schurz's much longer and more careful study had brought him to very different conclusions.

Gate 2 Content
Gate Overview
In gate two we will be dissecting our Toro Snow blower while documenting and showing the appropriate steps as we go.
Project Management:
Preliminary Project Review:
From our previous plan of assessing the challenges as early as possible and solving conflicts as soon as possible is continuing to prove effective. Our team motto being "Plan the work, and work the plan," is still very affective. At the beginning of this gate we had sat down and discussed what the roles are going to be through gate 3, which allowed us to pre-plan the work very assertively and delegate people to tasks, with checks and balances along the way so the work is being done in a timely and accurate manner. We as a group have continued to set internal deadlines with adequate time to correct/redo work as needed. This has proved itself correct in justifying team responsibilities and collaborative works for a team effort.
We as a group feel our plan is working. On the first gate we got all of our work done and to our Wiki designer only to realize we had left out a section. Because we finished everything early we had time to go back and catch and correct our missed section.
Specific Resolved Challenges:
Since gate 1 our group has lost 2 members bringing us down to only four. We lost our technical writer which has forcibly stepped up the need for us to work ahead of schedule and delegate more responsibility to the remaining members. We are finding the absence of these members very detrimental to the overall performance of our group, due to the outside workload brought in from their absence. But as in the working world, a group member may not be readily available if one gets fired, or quits, We have tried to make the best of the situation and be more organized with our group meetings. We are now meeting twice a week to discuss future plans and responsibilities.
Unresolved Challenges:
Our group challenges are still revolving around the class schedules of the individuals in the group, we are very rarely able to get all four of the remaining members into the same room at the same time for more than an hour, due to sporting events, extracurricular activities, or commuting issues. Another issue is being the 3D modeling which is in a later gate, we have already looked into the issue and assigned it to Joshua for researching a modeling program and means to render components in the program. We have lightened his load on this gate to make up for the long hours he is going to have to put in to resolve the lack of experience we all have in such field.
Complications in dissection:
During the dissection of the snow blower, we encountered stripped out screws, missing screws which were holding components on via zip ties, a missing belt from the belt drive, and cracked engine mount. These issues were resolved as we faced them. We are also as a group intending on replacing the missing screws (previously missing) and screws we were forced to bore out with the same size, and pattern screw that were previously installed by the manufacturer. Finally the last complication we encountered was due to our snow blower not being drained of its fluids. During transport of the unit, one of the member's cars fell victim to these fluids. After dissection of the gas tank we properly disposed of the fluids to a small engine shop in the Amherst area.

While dissembling our snow blower we came to conclusion that every part was intended to be disassembled except for the removal of the piston. Although some where more difficult then others we were able to remove all the components. We came to the conclusion that the piston was not meant to be taken out because the structural integrity had to be degraded in order to remove the pushed bearing assembly.

So far its only in the "planning" stage and very little code has been written, but basically our aim is to have a completely decoupled CMS (meaning the "admin" part isn't tied to the web site.)

Submitted to: Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/15/2008
Publication Date: 8/9/2008
Citation: Dunn, R.O. 2008. Crystallization behavior of fatty acid methyl esters. Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society. 85:961-972. Interpretive Summary: Biodiesel is an alternative fuel derived from vegetable oil or animal fat. Biodiesel from the most common agricultural sources has flow properties that are susceptible to start up and operability problems in cold weather. This work investigates melting and crystallization properties of two high-melting point compounds mixed with a low-melting point solvent material (methyl oleate). These materials were selected because they are commonly found in biodiesel from soybean oil and because they could be obtained in very pure form. Data from analysis of pure compounds and binary solute-solvent mixtures were employed to determine activity coefficients for both solutes. Parameters from these analyses were then employed in a thermodynamic model based on freezing point depression theory to predict temperatures where crystallization in ternary mixtures (both solutes in methyl oleate solvent) initiates. Results showed that crystallization temperature (cloud point) of biodiesel may be predicted by freezing point depression theory if activity coefficients of the mixture compounds are known. Behavior in real solutions was found to have lower crystallization temperatures than calculated for ideal mixtures. Results from this study will assist fuel producers, distributors and terminal operators in predicting cold flow behavior of biodiesel during cold weather. Results will also directly benefit scientists and engineers studying effects of low temperatures on biodiesel.
Technical Abstract: Biodiesel made from vegetable oils or animal fats has many attractive characteristics as an alternative fuel for compression-ignition (diesel) engines. However, biodiesel from the most common agricultural sources has flow properties that are susceptible to start up and operability problems during cold weather. Biodiesel from soybean oil is generally a mixture of long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters composed of 0.15-0.20 mass fraction saturated esters (high melting point [MP]) mixed with unsaturated esters (very low MP). This work investigates melting and crystallization properties of two saturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) commonly found in biodiesel from soybean oil. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heating and cooling scans curves were analyzed for both solutes and solvent (methyl oleate) in pure form. Crystallization behavior in ternary FAME mixtures was calculated by application of thermodynamics based on ideal solution and freezing point depression (FPD) theory. Freezing point depression theory required determination of activity coefficients for both solutes in binary mixtures with methyl oleate from analysis of DSC cooling curves. Eutectic points were predicted by both models. Calc. crystallization onset temperatures were more accurately predicted by FPD theory than for ideal solutions when compared with measured data from DSC cooling curve analyses of ternary FAME mixtures. This work showed that crystallization onset temperature (cloud point) of biodiesel may be predicted by freezing point depression theory if activity coefficients of the components are known.

Annoying ad on the site
Hey, Cairenn, can you do something about the ads that play sound (ie that annoying Mucinex ad)? It's really distracting, especially when I leave the site running in the background and suddeny my computer starts making noises while I'm trying to concentrate on some software engineering problem I'm working on at work =).
Ads should not play sound unless you click on them. Sending this to our ad department so they can disable it.
Sorry about that.

Although she has a tuneful voice, she is not expected to sing.
Much nestbuilding, tuneful courtship, and masculine blustering was going on, and there was little police duty for Bobby.
Piney's admonition piped up to him on a high and tuneful memory.
His blue eyes flashed fire, his whole countenance gleamed, his sing-song rang with tuneful ferocity.
"I beat her, I beat her," shrieks he, with the last note left in his tuneful pipe.
In half an hour the water was boiling merrily, causing the kettle to sing a tuneful air, that attracted the eyes of all.
Onward glides the boat; the oars rise and fall with a tuneful splash.
It was a gay old opera, tuneful, full of boisterous, innocent comedy and simple sentiment.
She laughed, and the once tuneful voice was harsh and grating.
These tuneful frogs and katy-dids must be our nightingales to-night.

Graduate income premium
What We Have Found
The labour market pays the highest premium for completion of a bachelors degree compared with any other qualification
Date Updated: October 2011
Indicator Description
The premium paid by the labour market for completion of a tertiary qualification – comparing the income of those who start a tertiary qualification and complete with those who fail to complete.
Why This Is Important
The success of an education system is manifested in, among other things, the success of individuals in finding sustainable employment as well as the level of wages that employers are willing to pay for the skills and knowledge that the individual brings to a job. There is a substantial body of evidence that shows that those with higher levels of education are more likely to participate in the labour market, face lower risks of unemployment, have greater access to further training and receive higher earnings on average.
An employer will generally employ a worker as long as there is a marginal benefit in doing so – that is, while the cost of employing that person is less than the marginal revenue that person generates. Thus, the earnings premium enjoyed by a group of graduates is a reasonable proxy measure for the value of the contribution made by that group to the economy.
How We Are Going
This indicator presents data on the earned income of young domestic students who last studied in 2003, who we call young leavers. The indicator looks at their earnings one year and four years after they left study.
We focus on young leavers in this indicator as education is likely to have more of a direct influence on earnings for these young learners than it does for older students, many of whom already hold qualifications and/or have a number of years of work experience.
The key statistic in this analysis is the ratio of median earned income among those who completed a tertiary qualification in their last year of study over the median earned income of those who did not complete. This gives the 'benefit of completion' or the premium in earned income that students who complete receive.
Figure 1: Premium in earned income for completion by qualification level for young students who last studied in 2003 - premium one year and four years post-study
The labour market pays the highest premium for completion of a bachelors degree compared with other qualifications. For the 2003 leavers, the premium for completing a bachelors degree was 20% four years after leaving study.
Those who completed diplomas, level 4 certificates and level 1-3 certificates had similar premiums for completion at 4.7%, 4.5% and 4.2% respectively, while the lowest premium was for those who completed a post bachelors certificate or diploma. The premium for completing a masters degree was 3.1 %. Most people who start a postgraduate qualification but fail to finish have previously completed a bachelors degree and will receive a lift in earnings from that qualification, hence the reduced benefit between those completing and not completing a postgraduate qualification.
The premium for completion decreased at the bachelors level, diploma level and the post bachelors certificate or diploma level between one year and four years post study. However, the earnings in the first year after study are likely to be subject to some variation as leavers will be likely to enter the labour market at different times.
While females generally earn less than males with equivalent qualifications, females enjoy a higher premium for completion of tertiary education to males. Four years after successfully completing a bachelors degree, females earned 26% more than females who started but did not complete earned. The corresponding premium for males was 24%.
Similarly, the premium for completion for females for level 1-3 certificates was higher than males (13% for females and 11% for males), for level 4 certificates (11% for females and 6% for males), for diplomas (14% for females and 4% for males), for post bachelors certificates or diplomas (14% for females and -2% for males) and for masters (10% for females and 9 % for males)
Figure 2: Premium in earned income for completion by qualification level and gender for young students who last studied in 2003 - premium one year and four years post-study
In all but two cases, the premium for completion increased for both males and females between one and four years post-study. The exceptions were for females who studied at the bachelors level, where the premium for completion reduced slightly from 27% one year post study to 26% four years post-study, and for males who studied at the post bachelors certificate or diploma level.

Tamar Braxton addresses plastic surgery accusations
Listen to Tamar Braxton on iHeartRadio
If you've been one of those people who's looked at photos of Tamar Braxton and accused her of skin bleaching, you may want to check this out.
In an article with Ebony.com, the reality star, R&B singer and mama to-be, says that she's long suffered from Vitiligo.
"Anybody with skin issues knows that that's a very sensitive subject. And that's why I've never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I've always had it, since I was a young girl. It's not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I've certainly had mine diagnosed. That's why I tan. People say, "You bleach your skin!" But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!" she says in the interview. "It's gotten worse since I've gotten pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it's more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it's hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem. It really does. But I'm done defending that. I'm not bleaching my skin and if I was bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would, but for the record, I am not."
She also says that she's never had plastic surgery, another blip that often gets tossed about in the Tamar Braxton conversation.
"I don't have plastic surgery. I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose, I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose. And when I shared that with the world, now I have Botox, and different kind of fillers. Now I touch my face, which I never touch my face…Everything is real on me," she says before adding: "After I have my baby, I might can't say that everything is real on me. I might get my breasts done. Who knows if my breasts gonna go down to my ankles–I can't do that!"

My doctor recommends a Silimed 335cc high profile silicone implant (width: 11.8cm, projection: 4.1cm), submuscular placement, when my BWD is around 12.5-13cm. Note the projection is not as much as Mentor/Natrelle brands. I do not have much breast tissue in the centre of my chest, he said that he could carefully dissect closer to the medial border so the implant would create fullness in the centre. Do you think I could get a natural result with the HP, or should I look at moderate with less CCs?
High Profile Implants 1cm Less Than BWD, Will They Look Unnautral or Create a Gap?
Doctor Answers 8
High profile implants with the wide chest
In order for an augmentation to look right the implant must be centered under the nipple and fit into the breast hand in glove so that they move and feel as one. When the chest is wide, a high profile implant can accentuate the distance and gap between, so our vote would be for a more moderate profile implant with a broader base.
Best of luck,
Learn more: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com
Concern about high versus moderate profile implants for a "natural" look
Higher profile implants will provide you with more projection and basically a more "3 dimensional and dynamic" result which is what many women want. They don't have to be so large as to be unflatteringly ostentatious. Moderate profile implants may be more "natural" but they also can be more subtle which can be disappointing for many women.
As Dr. Pousti indicated and what has been my experience, is that "natural" and specific cup sizes mean totally different things to different people. Some women who request natural results will actually be disappointed with natural results as their natural augmented breasts will be too small.
You need to communicate explicitly with your plastic surgeon. Photos can be helpful. Make sure that the two of you are on the same page prior to proceeding with the surgery.

Breast augmentation questions and cleavage
I'm not sure about some of the advice you've had. The question is to understand the difference between naturalness and appearance.
Your pictures show you are a perfect breast augmentation candidate if that's your desire. The breast envelope is firm, and you have some breast tissue, so there is decent coverage.
Augmentation will highly likely give you cleavage looking at your preop shots. Extra medial dissection will make the implants more visible, and more easily feelable and reduce naturalness of look and feel . I wouldnt advise it.
Naturalness is mostly about implant size choice (the bigger and the higher profile selected, the less natural), plus the natural coverage you have (and you have enough).
So, if you choose a smaller implant you will look more natural. Around 300cc or so as you have been advised looks fine for that. If you want to be bigger, ir more projectiong than that you will look less natural.
On your dimensions in my hands that would be a moderate plus mentor cohesive II choice, a little less projecting than you have been advised.
However, aside from the extra medial dissection advice your other advice seems sound.
Good luck.
You might also like...
Cleavage and breast implants
It sounds like your main concern is cleavage and creating cleavage by placing breast implants closer together in the center of the chest. You cannot create cleavage by placing breast implants. Trying to do so by putting the implants closer together is only a recipe for disaster. You are likely to end up with symmastia that is very hard or impossible to correct. Sometimes the illusion of creating cleavage is achieved by moving the nipple position closer to the midline of the body but that is not appropriate for every patient. You can see an example of that in the referenced web page.
The photos of the patient you posted who had surgery actually had a pretty good result given the degree of asymmetry present before surgery. Plastic surgery in general is better now than it was 30 or 40 years ago but we can only do what is possible given what we start with. Surgeons must try to instill realistic expectations in their patients before surgery. If the nipples were re-positioned slightly closer to the midline the result would have looked a bit better but that does not detract from the basically good result of the surgeon in this case.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
Will my implants look unnatural?
One of the problems with submuscular placement of implants is the wide cleavage, like you show in the photograph. However, with careful pocket dissection medially, like your surgeon suggests, it is possible to get a more natural cleavage.
You may have some upper pole fullness with a round implant, which can look unnatural. You could consider an anatomically shaped implant as this will give a more natural look.
All the best. Jonathan Staiano

Breast implant sizing
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is "I wish I was bigger".
I hope this helps.

This included the anatomy of your chest and sternum. Since the implant, if placed under the muscle, can only go as close to the middle as the edge of your breast bone this is one limiting factor. If the rib cage is flat the breast will project forward, if it is angled they will project to the side. These are all factors that can be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Markku Ounaskari, Samuli Mikkonen and Per Jorgensen
US: 9 Nov 2010
UK: 18 Oct 2010
On Kuara, Finnish jazz drummer Markku Ounaski and his talented bandmates—pianist Samuli Mikkonen and trumpeter Per Jorgensen—offer minimalist interpretations of a handful of Russian psalms and folks songs linked to the Finno-Ugric peoples. According to the album's press materials, "Kuara" means "sound" in the Udmurt language, and it's best to approach this album as a soundscape rather than a typical jazz record. Ounaski, Mikkonen and Jorgensen's sparse, abstract arrangements barely hint at the simple folk melodies. This slow-moving, pastoral music evokes the wide open spaces of the Ural region that today is home to most of the Finno-Ugric communities. Kuara is filled with overwhelmingly lugubrious songs; achingly beautiful, mournful melodies flutter through the ether and disappear in an instant courtesy of Mikkonen's delicate keyboard touch and Jorgensen's Miles-esque trumpet tone and gorgeous singing. As with most folk music, each song's melody sticks largely to one key. The improvisations, however, are what make this great jazz music. They dance around the key, providing a perfect balance between playing "in" and stepping "out". With Kuara, Ounaski and his mates have created a consistently interesting and inspired work of new jazz.

Candy Hearts

Bands like Candy Hearts are a rare breed these days. We're talking about earnest pop-punk acts that pair personal lyrics with upbeat instrumentation without playing into the pretension and posturing of today's rockstar culture. Now after spending most of the year on the road honing their craft, Candy Hearts have teamed up with New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert to release their new EP 'The Best Ways To Disappear' and if you're a fan of pop-punk, this collection of songs just might make your year.
Candy Hearts were born in 2010 when guitarist / vocalist Mariel Loveland met with guitarist Kris Hayes while the duo were in college together in upstate New York and once they hooked up with bassist Christian Stefos Migliorese and drummer Matt Ferraro they instantly knew they were onto something special. In that spirit they instantly started touring and writing and it wasn't long until Chad Gilbert heard one of his band mates blaring Candy Hearts' music on New Found Glory's tour bus.
"I don't know where they got our music from but Chad direct messaged me out of nowhere on Twitter saying that he wanted to work with us," Loveland explains, adding that things didn't really start moving forward until Candy Hearts returned from a successful tour alongside Man Overboard and she threw herself into writing. Once Gilbert heard what the band were working on he signed on to produce 'The Best Ways To Disappear' and release it on Violently Happy Records, his new imprint through Bridge 9 Records. However we're guessing that even Gilbert himself couldn't predict how much the band would progress in the process of writing these songs.
Correspondingly 'The Best Ways To Disappear' sees the bad taking a massive step forward both sonically and lyrically. "We definitely wanted this album to have more of an alternative vibe like our last one and I really think that's what Chad brought to the table with this album." It's true, while the album recalls 90s female fronted bands as well as indie crossover acts such as Lemuria, beneath the power-chords and jaw-dropping bass fills at their core these are pop songs and they've got an infectious energy that makes them sound undeniably fresh after multiple listens and countless car rides.
"Why Candy Hearts? Well, listen to them. It's undeniable. Truthful lyrics sung to a sweet, honest melody over a 90's-alt-rock-meets-east-bay-gritty-punk-rhythm," Gilbert elaborates. "A sound that would appeal to a Jawbreaker fan, a Green Day fan and even a Lemonheads fan, if you are into being nostalgic. Mariel reveals a lot in her lyrics that I think will give music fans a place to go when they need to feel like they aren't alone," he continues. "Real songs by real people wanting nothing more than to play them to people and I intend to help them."
From the saccharine pop of 'Ticklish' to the acoustically driven ballad 'Sick Of It' and palm-muted crunch of 'Miles And Interstates', 'The Best Ways To Disappear' displays the various sides of Candy Hearts' sound but also reveals that at their core the group are all about honest songwriting. "When I wrote these songs I tried to focus on them completely; I just wanted to be in a room and be able to write about the last year of my life without any distractions," Loveland explains, adding that these songs are as much of an extension of who she is as they are of the musical force that Candy Hearts have become.
"I don't think I'll ever be completely comfortable to put myself out there so much the way I do on this record but I've always wanted this band to be completely true to ourselves and that's just what our band has always been about," Loveland responds when asked how it feels to get share her innermost personal dialogue on songs like 'Matchbox'. "I write music because it comes to me naturally. I hope that by sharing my experiences I can relate to people and people can relate to my songs", she explains. "I hope that the songs I write will help people and make them feel not so alone because they know that someone else feels like they do."
Despite the fact that the situations on 'The Best Ways To Disappear' are specific, the themes of heartbreak and awkwardness are innately universal and the same can be said of Candy Hearts' music. This collection of songs is upbeat and celebratory but like life there are also moments of darkness and self-doubt which are also a part of the experience. "You are a song in my head, my voice is sore from singing it," Loveland sings during 'Miles And Interstates'. There are a lot of exits ahead of us, so we suggest turning it up and putting your foot on the gas pedal.

The Veggie Table: Apple Cobbler Oatmealby Janel Ovrut Funk in Uncategorized, September 18, 2010
September seems to be synonymous with apples. Maybe it's because apple picking is a favorite fall activity, or back-to-school images of apples start popping up everywhere. Whatever it is, I welcome fall and its bounty of apples with open arms (and apple-picking baskets)! Apples make a nutritious and filling snack to crunch on, with their high water and fiber content. The sweet, juicy apple is also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and folic acid. Maybe it's true what they say about eating an apple a day to keep the doctor away!
I love snacking on crisp Cortland apples sprinkled with cinnamon or dipping McIntosh apples into creamy peanut butter. And fall is my favorite time to bake a warm apple cobbler or cinnamon-spiced apple cake. But apples are for more than just snacks and sweets. They can be included in an array of exotic side, soup, breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes.
If a recent apple-picking trip left you looking for ways to eat up your abundance of apples, look no further than the first meal of the day. Apple Cobbler Oatmeal is my favorite fall morning meal. It's hearty oats and sweet, nutty crunch make me feel like I'm eating dessert for breakfast!
Apple Cobbler Oatmeal:
Yeild: 1 Serving
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 apple, cored and diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon crushed walnuts
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- A dash of cinnamon
Cook oatmeal on the stovetop according to instructions (with a pinch of salt, if desired). Stir frequently as it boils. Add diced apple about halfway through cooking. Remove from stove and stir in brown sugar, walnuts, milk, and cinnamon.
Looking for more ways to incorporate apples throughout the day? Here are some more of my favorite recipes:
- Baked Apple Crisp
- Cinnamon Apple Cake
- Butternut Squash Apple Sage Galette
- Crisp Apple Chips
- Kale with Apples and Mustard
- Sweet Tempeh Casserole
- Apple Bulgur
TELL US: What's your favorite way to enjoy an apple?

Andrea Clearfield: Composing East & West
Joan Myers Brown & the Audacious Hope of the Black Ballerina
Produced by Karen Smyles
August 2012
The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program unites artists and communities through a collaborative process, rooted in the traditions of mural-making, to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives. Since it began, the Mural Arts Program has produced over 3,000 murals which have become a cherished part of the civic landscape and a great source of inspiration to the millions of residents and visitors who encounter them each year.
The Mural Arts Program began in 1984 as a component of the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network, an effort spearheaded by then Mayor Wilson Goode to eradicate the graffiti crisis plaguing the city. The Anti-Graffiti Network hired muralist Jane Golden to reach out to graffiti writers and to redirect their energies from destructive graffiti writing to constructive mural painting. In 1996, Mayor Ed Rendell announced that the Anti-Graffiti Network would be reorganized into the Mural Arts Program, with Golden as the director.
In 2011 The Mural Arts Program partnered with several local social and cultural organizations to bring to light the rising issue of homelessness facing urban children and youth. Three unique art projects were created in the Mantua section of the city that made up A Place to Call Home. Friday Arts spoke with Mural Arts Program Director, Jane Golden to find out how it all came together and visited the 3800 block of Melon Street to see first-hand, how it impacted the community. WHYY 91-FM was a media partner on the A Place To Call Home project with the Mural Arts Program and produced a series of segments that focus on the issue of homelessness.

The Wolves will look to rebound today after a winless road trip, although it will be a tough task against Oklahoma City—the team with the best record in the NBA. They'll get their shot tonight at Target Center. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. on TNT and 830 WCCO-AM.
Despite finishing with a 53-24 rebounding advantage, Minnesota's turnovers and weak perimeter defense was its demise in a 103-92 loss to the Miami Heat Tuesday night. LeBron James pitched in 22 points and 11 rebounds, and he had a huge part in a 24-9 run in the second half that put the Heat back on top for good. Miami hit 12 of its 25 three-pointers—four from Mario Chalmers—and only turned the ball over 8 times compared to Minnesota's 18. Andrei Kirilenko shot 63 percent from the field and had 22 points to lead the Wolves; Kevin Love (11 points, 18 boards) and Nikola Pekovic (18 and 12) also each had double-doubles. Ricky Rubio did not play, adhering to the rehabilitation requirements of his injury.
Oklahoma City Breakdown
Tuesday's scouting report against Miami showcased a team that was very successful last season and is carrying its momentum well into the new year; the same should be said of Oklahoma City. The defending Western Conference champions own the league's best record (20-4), the highest scoring average per game (104.7 points per game) and a sizzling 12-game win streak. Their latest victory was a 100-92 win over the Atlanta Hawks where Kevin Durant exploded for 41 points, and Russell Westbrook helped out with 27 of his own.
Although some things have changed in Oklahoma City, Durant and Westbrook's habits of marking up score sheets have not. Durant is third in the league with 27.1 points per game, and Westbrook is only a few slots behind him at seventh (20.8 PPG). The Thunder looks structurally the same without stud sixth-man James Harden, who has since moved on to a starting role in Houston. He has been replaced by Kevin Martin, a 29-year-old guard who is enjoying his most efficient year shooting the ball since 2006; this includes an absolutely dangerous 47 percent rate from the 3-point line. Much like how Harden used to be, Martin is third on the team in scoring despite not starting a single game this year.
Last Time Out: April 14, 2012
Kevin Durant put on a shooting clinic the last time he came to Minneapolis, as he netted 43 points on 15-of-23 to lead Oklahoma City to a 115-110 conference win on April 14.
With leading scorer Kevin Love sidelined from a concussion, the Wolves instead leaned on 26 points from Michael Beasley and 24 from JJ Barea. Anthony Randolph had 22. The loss was the ninth in a row for the Wolves.
"We're just out there trying to be scrappy," Beasley said. "Kevin might not be here for the rest of the season. Everybody has to step up, and we're trying to finish this season with a bang."
Along with Durant, Westbrook coasted to 35 points, looking effortless at times. Nick Collison pitched in 10.
Key Matchup: Kevin Durant and Kevin Love
Although Durant can essentially score from anywhere, Love and Nikola Pekovic are going to have to hold down the paint against the Thunder. The best way to handle Durant defensively might be to push him outside and hope Alexey Shved and Andrei Kirilenko disrupt his shots with their long reaches; this can't be done if Durant is allowed to sneak into the paint. It's a tough defensive assignment for Love; he will have to keep his eye on Kendrick Perkins while also trying to defend the rim against Durant or the explosive Westbrook.
Durant, possibly the most talented scorer in the NBA, is coming off a 41-point victory where he made four threes, shot 9-of-10 from the charity stripe and—by the way—added 13 rebounds. Love must improve on his shooting, as he hit only 2-of-10 attempts in Tuesday's loss; he also didn't shoot any 3-pointers, a range that was developing as one of his strong points as recently as last season. His hand still seems to be a nuisance—he has been seen shaking it during games—and the Wolves are hoping to see him enjoy a pain-free, effective shooting game very soon.
Injury Report
No word yet on Josh Howard's timeline after suffering a hyper-extended right knee Dec. 14 at New Orleans. He's listed as doubtful for tonight's game, which really limits how the Wolves get rest for small forward Andrei Kirilenko. It also affects the guard rotation, as Minnesota will likely have four healthy guards available tonight in Luke Ridnour, Alexey Shved, JJ Barea and Ricky Rubio. The Oklahoma City Thunder enter tonight's game injury-free.
|Tonight's Probable Starters
|Luke Ridnour
|Russell Westbrook
|Alexey Shved
|Thabo Sefolosha

52 Comments on "Aaron Lewis From Staind Stops Crowd From Molesting Teen"
Gee, I'd agree with you, but…it's just not that hard to keep your fingers out of someone else's orifices. It's just not. Especially when they invariably have not just one, but two layers of clothing over them.
When's the last time you were in such close quarters with someone that you couldn't help but stick your finger in their vagina? Because it was *right there*?
Yeah, that'd be NEVER.
It's one thing to not want to risk concussion. Fair enough. But crowd-surfing is, in itself, relatively innocuous. Why can't we all just agree not to sexually assault people at concerts?
Here's a wacky idea- dint criwd surf!!!!!! Its seems ti be a great way to get a concussion not to mention getting sexually groped by a bunch of neaderthals. Its dangerous, just enjoy the music, and forget the crowd surfing!!
Well said MadLyb. ITA. Who is raising boys to think this is OK? What male would even be friends with someone who thinks this is OK? Rape culture.
FS: Yeah, she said he did seem to have more clothes ready to go. Still, though, why rip someone's clothes off like that? Unless he was wearing some kind of breakaway male stripper outfit, it's got to be painful when stuff gets yanked off like that.
Peter Gabriel's crowdsurfing was famous back then. He fully expected to lose his shoes jacket and shirt on those ventures and he always had a second outfit ready (I saw that tour on LA). Going for his pants is a bit too much though. Some people are just assholes.
I was at a concert a long time ago at a small venue. I don't even remember which band I was watching – maybe Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl, swooon). A young girl was crowd surfing, but she was passed out. Very quickly her pants were removed and shirt was off. The lead singer stopped the show and had his security team rescue her. Scary shit.
@Barb I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. But I will say that sometimes when a child screaming "please stop it hurts" doesn't work, a pencil stabbed into the chest does.
This thread makes me want to patent razor crotch self defense panties for women. Might work on that this weekend.
@MadLyb ^5
Haha ya I came to say the same thing. What a pylon.
No more! Don't tell me any more. This is my precious first born we're talking about. PFBs and festivals should not be allowed to mix.
@Violet-tell him to watch for flying soda bottles as well as doc martens. The closer you get to the stage the more shit you get thrown your way. Never turn your back on the crowd.
@Discoflux I confess, I laughed. Still am. Thank you. I always get kicked in the head because I'm too short, so I've been known to grab onto the offending shoe, yank it off and throw it.
Oh yeah @Violet make he should make sure his shoes are tight too!
@Riven. I will print this off and tattoo it to his chest! You've gotta let go as a parent but when you read this stuff it makes me a little anxious :/
*Standing Ovation* And violence toward the molesters is absolutely justifiable.
Courtney Love also stated she doesn't crowd surf anymore cuz she was not only groped by grabbed & molested.
You know it's bad when Courtney won't do it anymore.
Riven –
If it makes you feel any better, if a guy crowdsurfs over me he gets punched in the balls for thinking I would be interested in having to hold him up when I'm trying to enjoy a show.
Oh come on Lady H, yeah Aaron L may only stand there or sit on a stool while he sings but they aren't that bad (says my inner 16 year old fan girl with a crush).
@sillygurl: right on! WTF is wrong with people?
I've been to tons of these festivals and also concerts where crowd surfing is the norm, hell I've done it myself quite a few times. Not to say every guy is copping a feel, but there are plenty of pervs that will shove their hand in your crotch to pass you along or full on grab your whole boob. I've seen girls wearing bikini tops go up and surprise! They lose their top.
Oh god. Actually the eldest jr is going to his first festival this summer. I am hoping (in a sadly sexist way) the fact he's a six ft male rugby player will mean he gets an easy ride.
I would love to know of all the people who scream "BOYCOTT!!!" when a celebrity does something they disagree with are running out to buy the latest Staind album bc he did something nice.
It's the anonymity factor, just like internet bullying. You can do it fast and quick and usually have zero consequences. It's not group-think, it's individuals utilizing a group setting to hide their perverted thrills.
Nobody gets molested at a Mandy Moore concert.
@Violet every single girl I know who's crowd surfed at a show has been molested by someone while doing it. This is not a small number either.
I hate not doing something that someone who is biologically male "can" do but I'll concede on this one. Not worth it to me.
Re: the crowd surfing: GODDAMMIT I hate rape culture.
I should clarify, it didn't look like they were molesting her, they were just trying to pass her along in a giant "NODDITNODDITNODDIT!!" as she was doing it allll wrong
Not just Staind concerts. There's something about a crowd like that at concerts that think it's okay to grope random women.
No snark. Dude stops singing, goes all Orange County Choppers on fans who are molesting a 15 yr old girl. Hero. Well deserved applause. Resumes singing.
A heartfelt bravo to Aaron Lewis for doing the right thing and standing up for her.
Did anyone see that crowd surfing video of Katy Perry? Pure schadenfreude
She was wearing, like, two or three pairs of panties and a couple of pairs of tights and they were still getting through, so she stopped.
Yes Violet and she stopped doing it for that reason.
Cleo, ummm do woman often get molested at Staind concerts?
that one guy was so stupid. Yes we are starting to see things like 15 year old girls being grouped and molested by random guys as something to frown upon, dumbass. Good for the singer dude though maybe violence isn't the answer.
*Standing Ovation*
Bravo for speaking up and helping her.
Really Sandy? Lord. Another reason why the jrs will not be going to concerts without parental supervision any time soon.
Good job fella!
Yes, that was Iggy Azalea.
Well, Staind finally did something worth talking about. Kind of. Wish it could have been a better band but at least it's not ICP
I forget which musician said she always gets fingered when she crowd surfs. Iggy Azalea maybe?
Good for him !!!
Stupid idiot penis wrinkles for feeling up girls like that.
yeah that's what i said in previous thread.. good on him
Aaron Lewis is a stand up guy, this isn't the first time he has down this. Much Respect!

If you can shop, make appointments or register your car via the Internet from the convenience of your home -- or from halfway around the world, for that matter -- why can't you get your education in the same manner?
These days, many students can.
Not only are continuing education and college students completing courses at times and places convenient for them, but in recent years, more and more high-school, middle-school and even grade-school students do so as well.
At least 15 states have distance education programs for public school students, according to the U.S. Department of Education's 2004 report, Toward a New Golden Age in American Education -- How the Internet, the Law and Today's Students Are Revolutionizing Expectations. A deluge of regional and districtwide programs exist as well, and new programs are cropping up all the time.
Within the next decade, the report predicted, every state and most schools will offer some form of virtual schooling.
Virtual schools offer students and their families scheduling flexibility, course options, varied learning formats and experience that will benefit them beyond their schooling. Each program, however, is not for everybody, and a wide variety of virtual schools have emerged to cater to the varying needs of both students and the educational systems in which they learn. Though this next evolution in education shows no sign of slowing, some kinks must be worked out -- such as questions about funding and oversight in a school system that no longer fits within previously delineated geographic boundaries.
"It's relatively new even at this point," said David Griffith, spokesman for the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), comparing virtual schools -- in existence for only about 10 years -- to charter schools. "Even [with] charter schools, there's a physical location, and the geographic area where students -- the attendance -- would be pulled from is somehow limited and finite. With virtual schools, that's not the case.
"You could have students living in one part of the state attending a virtual school in another," he continued. "And one of the things we've seen is it's a question of who pays, and determining which is the student's location for the purposes of making funding calculations and that sort of thing."
In many cases, this situation has created friction among virtual and traditional schools, as per-pupil funds are drawn away from traditional schools along with students choosing to attend a virtual or charter school. In Ohio, many public school entities have begun offering online courses to compete with charter schools.
Virtual schools have also raised questions about oversight, said Griffith. "If it's removed from the local community, then who is able to guarantee the services are being delivered and students are making the educational progress they should? The local district? The virtual school on the other side of the state? The local district in which the school is being operated? Is it the state, because it does cross district boundaries? These are all issues as we move forward that are going to have to be figured out."
Virtual Learning Put to Use
For years, Florida has used virtual schools to offer students and families more options. The state has several statewide programs -- including two full-time K-8 pilots aimed at reducing class sizes and the Florida Virtual School (FLVS), a supplemental program that caters to middle- and high-school students.
Florida's Legislature has taken virtual schooling in hand and created mechanisms to fund its three statewide programs, as well as a handful of district-level programs.
"What we're providing for students is really a choice of how they receive their education," said Bruce Friend, chief administrative officer for the FLVS. "The traditional classroom environment model is not the best learning environment

Do you want to make the Internet a safer place? Maybe this is something for you.
Internet activists, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Access have teamed to launch HTTPS Now, an international campaign aimed at soliciting consumers to help make web surfing safer. HTTPS Now comprises three initiatives:
- Individuals are encouraged to use HTTPS Everywhere, a security tool for Firefox that automatically encrypts the user's browsing session by changing from HTTP to HTTPS whenever possible,
- Individuals are asked to complete the HTTPS Now survey advising whether a site uses HTTPS and how it has been implemented, and
- Website operators are encouraged to use selected resources to learn how and why to deploy HTTPS correctly. See "More information & Other Resources" at HTTPS Now.
Proper deployment of HTTPS can limit the impact of malicious tools such as Firesheep which can be used to compromise email or social network accounts.

Deus... I did a little research on the net regarding that very issue. It seems that most 'experts' agree that the Translation by Constance Garnet (The one I posted) is the most readable and accurate within the parameters of compromises you would expect in the tricky business of translating art from one medium to another.
I downloaded the Sony connect version of the brothers k and didn't like it. It is the Constance Garnet version, (The same one I did ) but it has no table of contents and therefore no way to find some of my favorite parts in the book.
I just HAD to have a way to quickly find certain passages. The Grand Inquisitor and his conversation with Christ is for me an essential part of what it means to be truly free before God. A passage with such wisdom about how giving over your mind to religious authority in the name of freedom is actually giving up your freedom. How mankind wants magic and religious trappings that are mysterious and 'holy' and therefore unknowable, An actual shield between them and God rather than a way to grow close to God. Dostoevsky I think is saying people want religious baloney far more than they want the choice to love God freely from the heart.
Reading stuff like this keeps me from giving up my own autonomous thought processes in Church when a preacher says something really stupid. (Which doesn't happen as often as you would think really. At least in the Church I attend.)
Oops sorry, my mind went off chasing rabbits for a minute...
At any rate the version I posted is identical with the Sony connect text Except I put a coupla pics of Dostoevsky in there and a fully linked TOC.
And of course my signature photo of my wife at the end of every book I do.

Huntsville, AL (SPX) Dec 26, 2012
Boeing and NASA on Dec. 20 completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage and avionics, validating the design of the rocket that will send humans beyond low Earth orbit to places like the moon, an asteroid and ultimately Mars.
The PDR is a comprehensive review that demonstrates that the design meets all system requirements within acceptable risk constraints, establishing approval for proceeding with detailed design. The first mission in 2017 will be an un-crewed loop around Earth's moon, to be followed by a crewed mission.
"Design reuse and concurrent design and production planning helped us to quickly create a core stage preliminary design that integrates heritage and new designs, all less than a year from contract award.
"This is an important element of our schedule management approach," said Jim Chilton, vice president for Boeing Exploration Launch Systems.
Boeing and NASA achieved three important milestones in the past year - System Requirements Review, Systems Design Review and now PDR. Boeing can now proceed to the Critical Design Review, the final step - expected in 2014 - that officially gives Boeing the authority to proceed into production.
Boeing continues to develop production capability for the heavy-lift rocket at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.
"We are running ahead of schedule and we will use the extra time to ensure a safe and affordable rocket," said Frank McCall, Boeing SLS deputy program manager.
The SLS program employs a growing Boeing Space Exploration workforce in Huntsville, Ala., and New Orleans, as well as in Houston; Huntington Beach and El Segundo, Calif.; Cleveland, Ohio; and Titusville, Fla.
