I have a small face with high cheekbones, I don't have wrinkles but have noticed my face is sagging a little and to me it's noticeable around the corners of my mouth. What can I do?
What Can Be Done About Sagging Around Mouth Corners?
Doctor Answers 4
Help for sagging of the corners of the mouth.
Hi! There are two non invasive treatments to lift the corners of the mouth, and there is also an operation.
1) Botox can be injected below the corners (tiny amounts!), to relax the muscle that pulls the corners down.
2) Fillers such as Restylane can be injected under the corners to create "buttresses" which support and lift the corners.
3) More definitively, a mid facelift done through the mouth will lift the corners of your mouth for a long time.
Sagging Mouth Corners: How can they be addressed
There is a simple and a more complicated way to address this.
For mild to moderate drooping, and assuming that a patient is not interested in surgery, one can use a filler (Radiesse or Juvederm) to provide volume to the oral commissure (corner of the mouth), combination to a small amount of Botox to the DAO's (muscle that pulls the corner of the mouth down). This is a temporary solution.
Assuming you are willing to have surgery and you have further indications (jowls and changes to the neck), a Facelift may address some of your concerns. However, it is important to note that too much tension on the corners of the mouth is one of the tell tale signs of an overdone Facelift.
Sagging Skin around the Mouth
Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice. If your cheekbones are nice and you are mostly concerned about the area around your lower face and mouth, then a lower facelift may be the answer. Good luck.

What can be done about sagging around mouth corners?
It all depends on the extent of the lateral oral commissure sag and the cause of it.
If accompanied by jowls, the solution to both would be either a Mid Facelift or a MACS Facelift which would lift the cheek unit causing this drooping.
On the other hand, a little corner lift of the corner of the mouth can be done as well but it will leave a scar along the junction of the lip and lower cheek.
Another way, depending on your presentation is to weaken the muscle which actively pulls the corner of the mouth down (Depressor Anguli oris) with Botox and if needed put some filler in the crease to fill it up. This works extremely well in most people but I would recommend you have it done by a doctor with a good knowledge of facial anatomy - NOT by an "injector"
Good Luck.

Jul 8, 2012 - StaffJennifer Ginnie Johnson Weber, 59, died June 7, 2012, at her home in Rathdrum, Idaho.
There will be no services.
Mrs. Weber was born June 26, 1952, in Helena, Mont., the daughter of Olen and Evelyn Johnson.
She graduated from Helena High School and later from the University of Montana where she studied social work and psychology.
She spent a few years working different jobs around Montana, but her family said the job she enjoyed most was helping people with head injuries through a program in Riverton.
Her family said Mrs. Weber was a talented woman and very crafty. They said she loved to teach others her skills, and her interests included sewing, interior design, cooking and baking, especially cookies with her grandchildren.
Cleaning her home and shopping for something on sale were two of her favorite hobbies.
Mrs. Weber is survived by her husband, James Weber; her mother, Evelyn Chapek; her stepfather, Bill Chapek of Pahrump, N.V.; her daughters, Kristen O'Connor of Idaho and Dawn Rodgers of Texas; her brother, David Hoge of Ohio; her sister, Kathy Pince; four grandchildren, Kyler O'Connor of Idaho, Drey Rodgers of Washington, Joran Rodgers and Rylan Rodgers of Texas; and her faithful dog Maxwell, who she left to keep an eye on her husband, James.She was preceded in death by her father, Olen K Johnson.

Businesses must do their civic duty and vote to keep the Greens from gaining control of Melbourne's Lord Mayor's office, former Liberal premier
Mr Kennett has supported the re-election campaign of former state Liberal leader
"They need to get off their backsides and do their duty," Mr Kennett told The Australian Financial Review.
"If you don't do your duty, don't line up to complain for what may happen over the next four years, you can't complain about the economic environment in which you live if you don't choose to discharge your electoral responsibility."
Mr Kennett said the Greens had demonstrated they were unfit to govern in the Tasmanian and federal spheres.
Preferences would be crucial as no candidate was likely to secure 50 per cent of the vote and the preference deals stitched together by other candidates meant the only two possible winners were Councillor Doyle or Greens candidate Alison Parkes, Mr Kennett said.
He said fewer than a third of the 100,000-plus voters on the City of Melbourne roll had so far cast their ballot heading into the final week of voting before polls close on Friday.
Dr Parkes, a Melbourne University accounting lecturer who has previously worked in the private sector on large projects, said it was up to businesses how they voted, but that she would bring serious business credentials to the job.
"By far and away I have got the most breadth and depth of business management experience," she said.
If successful, Dr Parkes said she would help businesses lower long-term costs by helping them to access cheaper renewable power. She would also boost the involvement of traders in marketing their precincts as well as improve public transport.
While she conceded the council had limited means to directly influence high-cost policy areas such as transport she believed the Lord Mayor could act as an advocate for change to the state government.
"You are given a microphone for a reason," she said.

Not everyone gets Lyle Lovett. He's quirky, quiet and shy. He's got courtly manners, and from all reports, is unfailingly polite. And there's that shock of wild, curly hair juxtaposed to his custom made Western suits and cowboy boots. The lanky Texan just doesn't look – or act – like a music superstar.
Then, he gets his guitar and steps up to the microphone. There's an "ah ha" moment and suddenly the sum of his parts add up to a whole other breed of cat. A very cool cat who has evolved from a bashful Texas A&M student to a musician with few peers. Yes, folks, you gotta Lovett when Lyle and his large band are in full swing.
Lovett released his 14th CD, "Natural Forces" late last month and has been on tour for the past three months. The CD is a bit darker and bleaker than 2007's "It's Not Big, It's Large," but that doesn't mean it's not worth being in rotation on your sound system.
In addition to writing five tunes, Lovett covers work by Don Sanders ("Bayou Song"), Vince Taylor ("Whooping Crane"), David Ball ("Don't You Feel It, Too?"), Vince Bell ("Sun, Moon & Stars"), Tommy Elskes ("Bohemia") and Townes Van Zandt ("Loretta").
The CDs title cut is everything a Lovett tune should be – a swinging, wide open country song that is deceptively simple, with a strong underlying message.
"Farmer Brown" and "Keep It In the Pantry" have nothing to do with livestock or canned goods. Only a gentleman like Lovett could get these two tunes by the censors. Enough said.
Lovett and Robert Earl Keene, his college buddy, co-wrote "It's Rock and Roll," when they were at Texas A&M. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at the life of a rock star dosed with a huge dollop of irony.
Vince Bell's "Sun, Moon and Stars" is a lonely lament of things lost, made more poignant by the story of Bell's near-fatal car crash that left his body shattered and his brain scrambled.
Lovett's cover of "Bohemia" is all jazzy smoothness that makes you want to wear black, snap your fingers and spend some time in a coffee house. Lovett's dry, sly wit lights up the song. It's Lovett at his best.
Lovett is a fan of the late Townes Van Zandt. He performed "Flying Shoes" at 1997 Van Zandt's funeral. He put five of Van Zandt's songs on his 1998 hit "Step Inside This House." On this CD, Lovett includes a lovely arrangement of "Loretta," one of Van Zandt's more upbeat tunes.Lovett winds up the "Natural Forces" tour at Ball Hall in Fort Worth Tuesday and Wednesday. If you don't have any plans, a trip to Cow Town to hear Lovett and his Large Band would be time well spent.
Great hall, good music and Lovett on the stage. Doesn't get much better than this.

The All Blacks will field the oldest side in their test history against the Wallabies at Eden Park on Saturday.
Coach Graham Henry has nailed his World Cup colours to the mast by naming a team of veterans that will closely mirror the starting side in the knockout phase of the World Cup.
Not only will "Ted's Army" be the most ancient starting XV in the All Blacks' 477 tests dating back to 1903, they are also the most test-hardened team in rugby history.
The combined 766 caps of the starting side - at 51 tests per player - will take them past the 750 achieved by the Springboks against the Wallabies at Bloemfontein last year.
But it is the age factor that will cause the most discussion in World Cup year.
Henry, 65, is comfortably the world's most experienced test coach and, with support from Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith, who share more than 20 years of test mentoring between them, the All Blacks of 2011 take on a juggernaut feel.
The starting team has a combined age of 433, eclipsing the sometimes-maligned "Dad's Army" England side who won the 2003 rugby World Cup final with 423 years under their collective belts.
But has Henry taken the wrinkled theory a step too far?
In his desire to plump for seasoned players, is he clinging on too long to the personnel who have served him so well? Some since his tenure began in 2004.
"I think you have to have a nucleus of experience in the team," Henry said 12 months ago when quizzed about the ageing nature of his team.
"You pick the best players but usually that correlates to their age."
One who disagrees is former Wallabies No 8 Toutai Kefu, who yesterday said this year's All Blacks are lacking fresh talent.
"At first I didn't think it would be a problem but some of the key players, their stars, are starting to wane a bit," Kefu said.
"The thing with them is they have been there done that, they've been consistent for so long.
"If there's a time for us to challenge for the mantle I think this year is the time."
Saturday's All Blacks have an average age of just under 29, lifting them past the previous oldest All Blacks starting XV who lost to the Wallabies at Athletic Park in 1982.
That side was captained by Graham Mourie and featured grizzled veterans such as Andy Haden and the "Geriatrics" front row of John Ashworth, Andy Dalton and Gary Knight.
Evergreen lock Brad Thorn, at 36, is the current father figure and on Saturday moves past Frank Bunce to become the second oldest All Black. He is one of four starting forwards in their 30s, alongside Keven Mealamu (32), Richie McCaw and Ali Williams (both 30). It would probably be five if veteran prop Tony Woodcock was fit to start.
A senior citizen status also rings true among the outside back division.
At the helm of our oldest starting backline is Mils Muliaina, who celebrated his 31st birthday on Sunday, becoming just the fourth All Blacks starting fullback to hit that milestone.
The back three of Muliaina, Sitiveni Sivivatu and Hosea Gear have a combined age of 87, bettered by just one trio - Wellington icons Allan Hewson, Stu Wilson and Bernie Fraser, in the death throes of their career against Australia in 1983.
At a combined age of 58, Conrad Smith and Ma'a Nonu are the oldest midfield since Bunce and Walter Little in 1997.
In the pack, 2003 World Cup buddies Thorn and Williams are our oldest-ever locking combo by a country mile while McCaw is the oldest to don the No 7 jersey since Ian Kirkpatrick in 1977 and Mealamu the oldest hooker since Sean Fitzpatrick retired 14 years ago.
The baby of the team plays at tighthead prop, traditionally the most gnarled member of any side. Yet Owen Franks is just 23.
Another curiosity is that McCaw will have led both the youngest and oldest ever All Blacks starting teams.
His first test as skipper, against Wales at Cardiff in 2004, featured a team with an average age of 23-1/2. Their 353 combined years scraped under the previous mark of 356 set by the revamped "Baby Blacks" who played France in 1986.
Alongside McCaw at Cardiff for the narrow 26-25 win were several teammates in Saturday's test - Muliaina, Dan Carter, Piri Weepu, Williams and Mealamu.
A week later the nucleus of that team hammered France 45-6, effectively launching Henry's eight-year dynasty.

Williamsburg Bridge and Brooklyn Rooftops

Monotype on paper

Art By Kellyann Monaghan
Kellyann Monaghan received her BFA from Moore College of Art Design and her MFA from Brooklyn College, CUNY. She exhibited her work in numerous solo and group shows nationally and internationally. Exhibitions of work included: Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn Library, Sharon Goldberg Contemporary Art and A-Forest Gallery. She recently curated the exhibit Urban Structures at the University Center Gallery at Adelphi University. She attended the artist residency La Muse, in southern France. She is an Associate Professor of Art at Adelphi University in Garden City, NY.
I use interior spaces, urban landscapes and the night sky as a journey and stage for the drama of light, air and movement. I attempt to see past the structured architecture into the otherworldly qualities of the city. I am intrigued by the way light plays on architecture, energizing and describing form. There is a mystery in the dynamics of light and atmosphere in contrast to the city structures.
There is emptiness and void in the spaces I paint and print, yet they have a quality of human presence through the mystery, atmosphere and illumination. In the recent years, I have also been obsessed with the rooftops of Brooklyn and Manhattan, where the architecture is piled upon each other. Currently the repeating forms of the satellite dishes, cranes and antennae that dominate many apartment rooftops are central to the visual rhythm in my paintings. In particular I have been inspired by the spaces of Red Hook, D.U.M.B.O., Williamsburg and Greenpoint. I have exaggerated and edited qualities from city life into dramatic compositions. The sky and the spaces between buildings are as significant as the buildings themselves. I am fascinated by the city's night sky, which reflects the ever-present human interjection of light pollution.
The monotypes are done through the process of covering a whole etching plate or sheet of plexi-glass with black ink. I subtract and wipe away the forms and shapes of light. When the image has been manipulated enough for the composition to be seen clearly, it is then ran through a press. Often awkward and surprising moments happen from the pressure of the press to the paper. My aim is to maintain an element of spontaneity and directness in the print. A fluid and spontaneous quality in the every stroke of light is very important to me. The process allows for quirky and unexpected qualities to occur. I want the prints to be as intriguing up close as they are from a distance.
The nuances of industrial light, atmosphere and architecture generate a constant awe, nostalgia and surprise. At times the awe is when you are hoping to see it and other moments it is a surprise in unexpected places. The painting and printing process is not just an analytical process for me, but is a revelation in every visual moment.

text: NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- What does being "American" mean in the marketplace? If you're a U.S. consumer, it's apparently a huge incentive. According to a 2010 survey by Adweek Media and Harris, 61% of Americans say they are more likely to buy a product when an ad says it's "Made in America." That includes 75% of Americans 55 and over, 66% of those 45 to 54 and 61% of those 35 to 44. It also indicates a premium those same Americans are willing to pay for those products. After toys from China entered the country in 2007 laden with toxic levels of lead, pesticides and chemicals, a Gallup poll found that 82% of Americans would rather spend more money on a toy if it were made in the United States. That percentage jumped to 94% when survey participants were asked if they'd pay extra for food produced in the U.S. to avoid Chinese imports. That consumer patriotism is great and all, but does it do any good when buyers are given conflicting messages about what is and isn't made in this country? Does a beer can draped in the colors of the American flag necessarily indicate an American brewer? Does a truck rambling through the rugged American landscape as a song about "our country" plays in the background necessarily indicate an "American-made" vehicle? Does the presence of the word "American" in the product's name or in its producer's core marketing agenda make that product "American"? Any good, American skeptic knows the answer. Putting on a topcoat of red, white and blue and hiding behind a heavy layer of jingoism can't hide a product's true identity. That made it pretty easy to put together this checklist of 10 "American" products that have dual citizenship at best or are hiding their true colors at worst: Prev 0 of 11 Next

Funny I got the same unit and don't recall choosing that one too.
What? You applied for a unit!
That's the problem. You should have applied for a DISTRICT.
Would have been a sure thing.
No joy here.
Yeah 0-3 for me also. Nothing new. Good Luck everyone
Nothing. Clearly Obama, NSA, and probably the IRS must be unfairly targeting us Eastmans' Montana forum members again this year.
Honestly, I can't complain though. I somehow managed to draw a great MT mule deer permit in the earlier draw that will keep me plenty busy this fall.
Nothing here either!! Now waiting on my three Super Tags!!

Trojans face undefeated Boles Hornets
By CINDY ROLLER, News-Telegram Sports Writer
Oct. 25, 2008 - CUMBY - Tonight the Cumby Trojans will face their biggest challenge of District 14-1A. The Trojans will travel to Kevin Kiper Memorial Stadium with a mission to put an end to the undefeated streak of the Quinlan Boles Hornets at 7:30 p.m.
�Our team played well in this game and we are gaining confidence in our system and what we are doing,� Cumby head coach Edward Perez recalls about the Trojans' second district win against the Dallas Gateway Gators 51-26. �The biggest factor we had going for us is that we controlled the ball on offense, and we were able to contain their speed.�
The Trojan advantage-the Hornets are missing their very valuable stinger as their running back Joe Gillard is out due to a broken arm. According to Dave Campbell's Texas Football, Gillard rushed for 3,200 yards last year. On the down side, the Hornets have dominated many of the same opponents-Simms Bowie, Dallas Gateway, and Union Hill-that Cumby (2-5, 2-0) has faced.
�We are going to have to play disciplined defense and convert every possession we have into a score and try to keep pace with their offense,� Perez explained. �We have to watch out for the big play-we have to make them earn every yard and not let them get any cheap ones because we get caught with our feet in cement.�
So far this week the Trojans are healthy and well prepared with good workouts this week. Even despite the additional burglary problems that the Cumby School has faced, the team and coaches have quickly overcome these hurdles. Added measures have been taken to secure the field house and the school to prevent any further attempts. The alleged thieves are behind bars at this time.
Much is riding on the next few games in order to secure a post-season spot. Other week 8 district matches are: Celeste (3-4, 0-2) at Fruitvale (1-6, 0-2) and Wolfe City (3-3, 2-0) at Dallas Gateway (0-5, 0-2).
�Again, the team is starting to gel, and all parts are doing their jobs well�we are all starting to hit on all cylinders and hopefully we can stay in the �W� column,� coach Perez ended.

The 25-year-old who frequently raps about smoking marijuana appreciated being on hand for Tuesday's proclamation and says, "It means a lot to me, being a kid in Pittsburgh and riding buses, and going to school and just loving Pittsburgh so much."
Khalifa's hit song, "Black and Yellow" pays tribute to the city's sport teams and was released on his first album, "Rolling Papers."
Khalifa was born Cameron Jabriz Thomaz in Minot, N.D., but attended city schools after moving here in 1996. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 2006.

Normally, I don't worry about it too much, but I'm going to be on stage co-hosting a lot of events as a Pikachu, and I don't want to appear as "just another Pikachu cosplayer who wanted to cosplay something cute a popular", I'd like to be able to take this the extra mile, and the only way I can think to do that any more is by some how being in-character. (My current pictures of my Pikachu costume are not-up-to-date, btw.) Any thoughts?

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Think you're pretty experienced at bending the elbow after a long day's labor? Then maybe it's time you tip one with the boys and girls of HHH. For more than 20 years, Bo Zaza has gathered the Happy Hour Crew on Fridays at 6 p.m. at bars in and around greater Fort Lauderdale. These are not spur-of-the-moment choices. As Zaza notes on his website, the selection is made "after weeks and weeks of extensive research, intensive analysis, careful scrutinizing, and painful soul-searching." In other words, this selfless man spends the other six days of the week locating the very best watering holes for mankind. And he invites each and every one of you to join him. Destinations for 2004 are laid out on the website, except for a few Fridays, which are slotted as "mystery picks," for which Zaza solicits votes for a handful of candidate bars. If you prefer to drink by yourself with nobody else, then check out Zaza's list of Broward County bars, which must be the most complete compilation of saloons, pubs, package stores, holes, and dives online.
So there's Fast Eddie, the balding barfly. He always tries to sell his blood for money. He drinks Honey Brown. He has track marks up and down his arms. He has a nervous twitch. He has an itch he just can't scratch. He performs at the open-mic night down the street, and he always sits at the end of the bar. Then there's Mary, who, quite contrary to popular belief, has never been with Eddie, or Freddy, in the back of her Chevy. She guards the jukebox and plays the Jam. She drinks Blackbeard Ale in flipflops bought at a yard sale. Then there's Bobby and Jenny, with their skinny jeans and thrift-store shirts, talking to Shelly and Tracy, with their high-pitched laughs and vintage skirts. They're all drinking Tsingtao and mussing their 'dos, tapping their toes and talking about the Who. Another beer? Make that two. These are the various characters who inhabit the tables, barstools, and dark corners of the Billabong Pub, an unassuming joint nestled in a strip mall behind a strip club, next door to a "massage parlor" and a Mattress Giant. Sound intimate? It is: The lighting is low (and most of the time, this is a good thing), and the crowd is forced to stand eye-to-eye with the band, as there's no stage. And if you happen to be lingering after the pub's 2 a.m. closing time on Fridays and Saturdays, you can spot Indie Rock Rob chatting up Carl the Car Salesman with the lazy eye, over a delicious flute of Lambic Frambois ($5 per glass, $10 per bottle). Readers' Choice: Culture Room
A "traditional" Irish bar located smack dab on the corner of Sleazy Street and NE Drunk Avenue in Pompano. Really doesn't sound like it should work, right? But the clientele that packs the Briny every night (especially Saturday night, when Rob Rage, the Briny's own rock 'n' roll cover band, plays) doesn't give a shit. They're just there to drink, shout incoherently, and hope the room stops spinning before they get thrust out upon the beach at 2 a.m. Actually, it's easy to think the room's spinning even if you're not drunk, since the bar is cluttered with kitschy Florida décor (mounted fish, thick ropes, life preservers, photos of people holding mounted fish and life preservers) and other assorted oddities such as encyclopedias. A word to the bar fight-inclined: The Briny has an extra-long bar top, perfect for throwing the raving lunatic hitting on your girlfriend down the bar, where your friend will have hastily set up a pyramid of beer bottles for him to smack into. Readers' Choice: Poor House, Georgie's Alibi (tie)
The lights are low. The clinking of silverware and hum of conversation, mixed with anticipation, swirls around the room. Tonight is someone's lucky night -- you can feel it. The large book is passed around the table. They must make the right decision. And then, it's go time.
"When I was young, I never needed anyone/And makin' love was just for fun..."
You listen, the sound filling your ears.
"All by myyyself... don't wanna be... alll BYYYY MYYY SELLFF."
Things have taken a turn for the worse, and it suddenly sounds like a dying cat has lodged itself in the speakers. But you can't leave; you still have a plate of food. It's just another night at Sushi Toi. The restaurant is named after owner Sushi Boy's wife, but he's the master of ceremonies. Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, it's Boi's job to coerce patrons, preferably those tanked on 15 glasses of sake (but then, they really don't need coercion), to the Sushi Toi stage to belt out tunes picked from the massive songbook. And if the stars happen to be aligned just so, you might be able to hear Boi himself sing "Lady in Red." If that doesn't drop a tear in your Kirin, you're dead inside.
Ladies who dig ladies are throwing lipstick across their smackers on Friday nights and heading to Wilton Manor's Five Points to experience the 7-month-old lesbian hot spot, Martini Cabaret. Resident DJ Daddy spins Latin and dance mixes for a crowd that's thick till 3 a.m. The digs are upscale, and martinis run around $8.50. Happy hour is 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Cathode Ray is the standard gay bar in Broward County. Described by co-owners Larry Wald and Scott Belding as an S&M club -- stand and model, that is -- the three-room bar draws a large crowd on the weekends. But if there is pretension at the 20-year-old Cathode, it's overshadowed by the ready-to-go-crazy crowd that doesn't take itself too seriously. Smokers and shmoozers pour through the door onto the sidewalk and bust sensational moves to music that ranges from Madonna and Whitney to '90s booty mixes. Formal fun includes Wednesday night's Pick-a-Trick contest hosted by Larry and live drag performances by Monica Moore every Thursday at 10:30 p.m. There's always a drink special during the relaxed happy hours, and it's unlikely that you'll go home without a new number in your cell phone. The new madness at the club is a 4-month-long drinking contest called "Cathode University, The Institution of Higher Drinking," which includes a two-tiered mock fraternity system and cash prizes to be handed out along with mock degrees at the September graduation.

Gullit seeks Nigeria post
Former Dutch international Ruud Gullit has reportedly applied to coach the Nigerian national team.
The Nigerian Football Association's secretary general Taiwo Ogunjobi has been quoted as saying that Gullit was among a dozen foreigners to have declared an interest in the position.
"Yes, Gullit is the latest to signify interest in the job," said Ogunjobi.
Last week Ogunjobi revealed that French, Dutch, German, Ukrainian and Yugoslav nationals had applied for the technical advisor's job, after Nigeria reversed their decision not to hire an expatriate coach.
Surinam-born Gullit helped Holland win Euro '88 as a player and enjoyed a glittering career with PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan, Sampdoria and Chelsea.
And he was linked with the Nigeria job when they considered taking on a foreign coach shortly before the World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea.
Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning coach Carlos Alberto Parreira and little known Milorad Urukalo, who coached Australia's 2000 Olympic team, are also believed to have applied.
Soccer-mad Nigerians are passionately divided over the issue of whether to recruit a foreign coach for the national team.
The debate gained momentum again after their first-round World Cup exit.
Nigeria went to the finals under Adegboye Onigbinde, who stepped in at the last minute after Shaibu Amodu was sacked when they failed to reach the final of the African Nations Cup in February.
Nigeria lost to Argentina and Sweden and drew with England at the World Cup, failing to reach the second round for the first time in their three appearances at the finals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has a not-so-secret weapon in store for winning over voters in three key states: Vice President Joe Biden.
Democrats are crafting a campaign strategy for Biden that targets the big three political battlegrounds: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
A shaky economy and sagging enthusiasm among Democrats could shrink the electoral map for Obama in 2012, forcing his campaign to depend on carrying the 67 electoral votes up for grabs in those swing states.
Obama sometimes struggles to connect with white working-class voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania and with Jewish voters in Florida. Biden has built deep ties to both groups during his four decades in national politics, connections that could make a difference next November.

"Lunar Prospector Against All Odds," by Alan Binder, Ph.D., is the highly personal and engaging story of how the Lunar Prospector orbital mapping mission was developed and carried out by the author between late 1989 and 2001.
While this is partly a technical story, it is much more a human interest story about how an individual can, with persistence and a belief in the value of what one is doing, overcome all odds and obstacles and achieve an impossible goal.
Further, like the Lunar Prospector Mission itself, this book was written to expose to the American taxpayer the basic flaws of an ever increasingly incompetent NASA and its major aerospace contractors.
Though the Lunar Prospector Mission was a small, inexpensive, unmanned, orbital mapping mission, the reader will, via the author's experiences in conducting his mission, become intimately acquainted with the inefficient and self-serving activities of the entrenched NASA bureaucracy and the big aerospace companies.
As such, the reader will come to understand how NASA's increasing incompetence led to
The reader will also find that the goals of the mission, originally conceived as a private effort, were to demonstrate that when missions are conducted in a commercial mode, outside of NASA rather than as a government bureaucracy-driven program, the costs are reduced by up to a factor of 10 and the time scale of development is cut by a factor of two or more.
Since the author could not find philanthropic support for such a private mission during the first seven years of the effort, he proposed the mission to the new NASA Discovery Program that was designed to show that missions could be done "Faster, Better, Cheaper."
Lunar Prospector became the first peer-reviewed and competitively selected Discovery Mission in 1995.
Four and a half years later, the mission ended its completely successful, 19-month mapping program of the moon at a total cost of just $65 million, a quarter of the cap for Discovery Missions and a fraction of the cost of normal NASA missions.
Lunar Prospector, the most cost-effective lunar mission ever flown, was the first and only Discovery Mission to really show how to do missions "Faster, Better, Cheaper."
And the author is the only scientist in the history of the NASA space program to have guided and led a mission from its inception through its ultimate success, despite NASA's resistance to the author's having total control over his mission.
After having succeeded in demonstrating the "commercial viability" of lunar exploration, the author turned to trying - unsuccessfully - to convince NASA and the federal government to initiate a commercially based, lunar exploration program with the ultimate goal of utilizing its resources for the benefit of humanity and to obtain a return on investment for the American taxpayer.
Though it is questionable that Lunar Prospector's success in demonstrating that lunar exploration can be done inexpensively as commercial ventures had any influence on the president's January 2004 decision to start a new Lunar/Mars initiative, Lunar Prospector showed it could done several years before the president made his decision.
And it is without question that Lunar Prospector did influence the provisions of the Commercial Space Act of 1998 passed by Congress.
The new book, "Lunar ProspectorAgainst All Odds" will not only show the reader the technical and human sides of an exciting lunar exploration mission, it will also demonstrate why it is vital to the nation's interests that the exploration of the moon and planets must be taken out of the hands of the bungling NASA bureaucracy, and transformed into a commercially based program that provides a return on investment as initiated.

It's astonishing how prophetic some science fiction has been. Back in 1956, two years before NASA was even created, Hal Clement published a short Sci-Fi story called "Dust Rag", about two astronauts descending into a crater on the Moon to investigate a mysterious haze dimming stars near the lunar horizon.

Schaefer Systems International has redesigned its automation web site: automation.ssi-schaefer.us. The new site design provides resources to visitors and reflects the significant changes that the picking and storage industry has seen over recent years.
"The biggest challenge of redesigning the web site was making it valuable and easy to navigate for both experienced automation professionals as well as for new companies taking the first steps into automation," explains Jennifer Gallman, Marketing and Communications Director for Schaefer's Automated Systems Division.
More and more logistics professionals are moving from a product approach to a solution-based approach that is applicable to their specific market. The redesigned automation site now provides an industry solution section that gives information on different vertical markets such as e-commerce, retail, life sciences, grocery, and industrial.
"Companies are not looking for specific equipment to fit in their warehouse anymore. They are looking for the right solution, the appropriate technology designed to solve their unique distribution challenges," states Dave Simpson, Director of Applications Engineering for Schaefer's Automated Systems Division.
The solution pages offer information on industry trends and concerns along with real life case studies and videos to review. The industry solutions area looks at the concerns that distribution centers and warehouses experience today such as aggressive throughput requirements, SKU proliferation and space utilization.
"We want our site to be a resource for professionals to reference in the industry. The materials are informative and take an educational approach," says Simpson.
The site also features unique articles, blogs, and case studies. These reference materials help the user better understand the automation process, learn about the latest technology, and address current concerns within the intralogistics industry.

Reader: If you pollute your body with piercings and tattoos, expect low-paying service jobs
While it sometimes seems that hip new restaurants require that employees have cool tattoos and piercings, other spots have strict policies against piercing, tattoos and other body ornamentation. Jenn Wohletz went after such prudey-pants policies last week, in her list of five reasons restaurant employees should be allowed to have tattoos and piercings.
But some readers pierced holes in her arguments.
See also: - Five reasons restaurant employees should be allowed to have tattoos and piercings - Five retro foods and drinks that should be resurrected - Denver's five best homegrown, fast-casual chains -- from Noodles to Chipotle
Says WillieStortz:
I like to go to restaurants where the staff has a lot of piercings and tattoos because it's a great way to teach my kids a lesson.
I make it clear to them that if they pollute their body with piercings and tattoos, then low-paying service industry jobs will be the only opportunity available to them in life.
I plan on taking my 13-year-old to Old Major for his birthday so he knows where he will end up if doesn't shave or exercise.

"People are ambivalently amped-up on celebrities. They wildly worship them. They aim their adolescent adoration at them and get bupkis back. It's depressingly dissassociative. It's idiotic idolatry. Fan magazines fan the flames of fatuous fancy and reinforce the fact that your favorite stars will never fuck you. Scandal rags rip that reinforcement and deleriously deconstruct and deidolize the idols who ignore you. It's revisionistic revenge. It reduces your unrequited lovers to your own level of erratic eroticism. It rips the rich and regal and guns them into the gutter beside you. It fractiously frees you to love them as one of your own."
-- James Ellroy

Hear hear, Richard. A genuinely insightful paragraph from a genuinely silly novella.
I've yet to figure out James Ellroy. He's either a genius or a fraud (I lean towards the former, but not by much). His novels have gotten so progressively gruesome that I'm not sure I wanna read the next one . . . but I'm looking forward to it, whatever horrors it may contain.

Don't know if I told you this or posted elswhere but he came to a film festival I went to or rather used to go to. A crime film festival. He introduced 'The Sleeping Car Murders', anyway that's a slight aside.
I also saw a good documentary about him and I lean towards quite liking him.
In documentary he tells of little old ladies coming up to him in Blockbuster telling him how much they liked the film of 'LA Confidential', he snipes back "Did you buy the book?" when he tells us the lady answers "No" he retorts; "Then what the f&ck good are you to me?!".

As the fastest growing British city outside of London, and the cultural capital of the north, Manchester is home to many important companies, all of which employ HR staff. Therefore, it's a great place to find work in human resources. The city also has a lower cost of living than London, which means salaries stretch further and housing is more affordable. You can enjoy the perks of city life, even in your first few years of employment.
Some of the UK's biggest and best-known companies are based in Manchester, such as The Co-operative Group and Kellogg, and the BBC are currently relocating much of their workforce to nearby Salford. Every large company has a human resources department, where entry-level jobs include payroll administrator and HR advisor. There is the potential to move into a more senior position, such as HR manager or head of HR.
Salaries in Manchester are lower on average than London, but higher than elsewhere in the north of England. For those with the relevant skills and experience HR can be a financially rewarding job. An entry-level job, requiring basic admin and communicative skills, typically pays around £16,000 per year, while a highly qualified HR professional can earn £45,000 in a senior role. Companies often use recruitment agencies to find staff for vacancies at all levels, in order to ensure they meet the most suitable candidates for the role.

News and information
Latest news
Watpac to build North Queensland Stadium
On 1 May 2017 Watpac was announced as the managing contractor for Townsville's $250 million North Queensland Stadium.
The Queensland Government invited Watpac, CPB Contractors and Lendlease to tender for the managing contractor role on the 25,000 seat regional stadium in February.
While all three tenderers provided competitive bids, Watpac's winning tender met the Government's requirements for maximising local job and training opportunities, including for Indigenous peoples, as well as having a long established Townsville presence and excellent stadia construction experience.
Watpac is expected to engage more than 2000 people from the Townsville region in the delivery of the 25,000 seat stadium, and are aiming for 6.6 per cent of the construction workforce to be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Watpac will use the ICN Gateway (www.northqueenslandstadium.icn.org.au) as a source for tender registrations.
Watpac's tender for the North Queensland Stadium demonstrated a clear commitment to local content. This included an impressive local industry participation plan that aims for more than 80 per cent of hours spent building the stadium to be by locals and at least 80 per cent of the value of the project to be spent on local subcontractors and suppliers.
Watpac's impressive list of experience includes sporting venues such as Suncorp Stadium, the Brisbane Cricket Ground Stages 3-6, Cbus Super Stadium, Metricon Stadium, Thuringowa (Tony Ireland) Stadium, Riverway Cultural Precinct in Townsville, the Anna Meares Velodrome and Gold Coast Aquatic Centre Redevelopment.
They have also delivered major construction projects in Townsville including Townsville Hospital Sub-Acute Facility, Ergon Garbutt Depot Redevelopment, James Cook University Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine, Lavarack Barracks Single LEAP 2 Accommodation Precinct.
Cox Architecture joins team as principal consultant
On 20 December 2017 the Queensland Government announced that Cox Architecture had teamed up with Townsville architects 9Point9 to score the coveted principal consultant role on the $250 million North Queensland Stadium.
The Cox team's elegant design, innovative facility planning and strong local collaboration, including their genuine local input and partnership impressed the evaluation panel.
Cox's design team incorporates a number of specialist consultancies with Townsville offices, including:
- 9point9 Architects
- Ashburner Francis (mechanical and electrical)
- Arup (structural, civil, traffic and transport, Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) specialists, acoustics)
- Parker Hydraulics
- RPS (landscaping and surveying)
- Douglas Partners (geotechnical)
- Cyclone Testing Station at James Cook University (specialist wind engineering).
Cox Architecture's North Queensland Stadium concept design also features:
- seating for 25,000 and the capacity to be expanded to 30,000 seats in future
- corporate facilities, amenities, permanent concessions and state-of-the-art IT throughout
- a roof design inspired by the native Pandanus tree
- a roof that covers 80 percent of the seating and is designed to resist cyclonic wind conditions
- an open grassed terrace at the northern end to allow views to the city and Magnetic Island
- generous arrival plazas and landscaped greens
- sports lighting incorporated into the stand roofing, eliminating the need for light towers
- stormwater run-off management to protect water quality of Ross Creek
- environmental sustainability initiatives
- options for future further development on the site.
Quantity surveyor and audit programmer appointed
AECOM Cost Consulting Pty Ltd has been appointed as the quality surveyor for the North Queensland Stadium.

Regional opportunities

Engaging local industry and generating jobs are two of the key objectives for the project.
The Queensland Charter for Local Content is being applied to the project, along with the engagement of the Industry Capability Network's (ICN) local content services to maximise opportunities for businesses to participate in the construction stage.
The managing contractor will be required to maximise the use of local businesses, create local employment opportunities, ensure suitable local businesses are given the opportunity to tender on work packages, identify opportunities for local industry innovation and achieve project training targets.
Local businesses with an interest in participating in the North Queensland Stadium project are encouraged to:
- establish a company profile (and capability statement) on the ICN Gateway at: http://gateway.icn.org.au and
- lodge an expression of interest (EOI) for the partial and/or full scope work packages at: www.northqueenslandstadium.icn.org.au/
There are currently 46 initial work packages listed that are associated with the construction of the stadium.
All EOIs lodged through ICN for the project will be provided to the shortlisted companies tendering for the managing contractor position, for their initial consideration as part of their bid process.
Once appointed Managing Contractor will take responsibility for procuring all of the trade packages, with the first trade packages expected to be formally tendered in mid to late 2017.
The ICN Gateway will continue to be utilised throughout the construction stage.
Strengthening North Queensland
The government has developed a local content promotion strategy and is committed to ensuring the local supply chain is aware of potential opportunities and to provide local business with a forum to promote their capability.
A suite of workshops, industry briefings and mentoring services under the banner Strengthening North Queensland will assist local businesses to improve their supply chain capability to compete for work on regional projects. For more information visit our Strengthening North Queensland page.
Engagement and consultation
The government worked closely with a number of stakeholders during the development of the business case, including the Townsville City Council, the National Rugby League, the North Queensland Cowboys and Townsville Enterprise Limited.
The design of the stadium will be progressed to incorporate the needs of anchor tenants while embracing innovative and flexible design opportunities that encourage the use of the facility for a variety of purposes.
The government remains committed to working closely with our partners and stakeholders as the project progresses.
Probity Code of Practice
A Probity Code of Practice has been established for North Queensland Stadium Project and independent probity auditors have been appointed to oversee the project.
Stadium vision and objectives
The vision: To develop a vibrant new stadium that attracts visitors and investment, celebrates Townsville's tropical climate, values the water edge environment, delivers high quality public spaces and supports urban regeneration.
Objectives: It is anticipated the North Queensland Stadium will:
- become a nationally-recognised sports stadium with world-class sustainable urban design and architecture, establishing a clear identity that is uniquely 'North Queensland'
- stimulate broad investment and economic development in the long-term future of Townsville as a major regional city, underpinned by its sporting excellence, distinct tourism offerings and strong and diverse local economy
- transform and activate places and spaces as an urban attraction that draw people to Townsville's city heart
- promote active experiences, social interaction and a broad range of sporting and cultural activities
How was the stadium be delivered?
The stadium will be delivered through a two stage managing contractor methodology.
How was the managing contractor selected?
The department called for expressions of interest (EOIs) for the role of managing contractor from 14 December 2016 to 18 January 2017. These EOIs were evaluated on the following criteria:
- capability and capacity
- relevant experience
- local industry participation and training strategies, including strategies to maximise employment opportunities for the local Indigenous community
- results on similar projects.
A shortlist of three companies was selected in February 2017 and these companies were invited to submit formal tenders before the successful managing contractor was announced in May 2017.
Which businesses with local Townville offices will form part of the principal consultant's team?
- 9point9 Architects - sports design
- Ashburner Francis – mechanical and electrical
- Arup – structural, civil, traffic and transport, acoustics and specialist in Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)
- Parker Hydraulics – hydraulics
- RPS – landscaping and surveying
- Douglas Partners – geotechnical
- Cyclone Testing Station at James Cook University – specialist wind engineering
What was the process for selecting the principal consultant?
- 17 submissions were received through a public EOI. The submissions were reviewed against capacity, experience and local industry participation criteria by an evaluation panel and shortlisted down to four tenderers.
- Each of the shortlisted participants in the design tender process was invited to submit a concept design and site master plan as a part of their submission.
- To ensure we obtained the best possible concept designs for a complex project of this size, a fee of $30,000 was paid to each of the shortlisted participants to prepare their tender submissions.
- An experienced panel evaluated the concept designs along with the full submissions made in response to the detailed tender documentation.
- The results of the design tender evaluation led to the selection and award of the principal consultancy team to further develop their stadium concept design, the project brief and the site master plan.
Was an Entertainment Centre included in the design?
The government has committed to the delivery of a best-practice regional stadium however, the importance of planning for the future is considered to be critical for the long term success of the precinct.
As part of the design tender, consultants were required to submit a concept design and site plan that included the provision for a future entertainment centre and demonstrated how these facilities could link into and support the wider development of the Priority Development Area (PDA).
How can local industry get involved?
Local industry will be provided with full, fair and reasonable opportunities to tender for the stadium project.
The government has developed a local content promotion strategy and is committed to ensuring that the local supply chain is aware of potential opportunities and is able to promote its capability.
Queensland Government will deliver Strengthening North Queensland, a suite of workshops, mentoring services and industry events.
Strengthening North Queensland will assist local businesses to understand government procurement processes, as well as how to promote their capability and position themselves to competitively tender on large scale government projects in regional Queensland, such as the North Queensland Stadium.
To ensure full advantage can be taken of procurement opportunities, local suppliers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with information about the upcoming project and the requirements that must be met to successfully pre-qualify for tenders.
Local business with an interest in participating in the North Queensland Stadium project are encouraged to:
- establish a company profile (and capability statement) on the ICN Gateway at: http://gateway.icn.org.au and
- lodge an expression of interest (EOI) for the partial and/or full scope work packages at: www.northqueenslandstadium.icn.org.au/
What will happen to the 1300Smiles stadium?
The existing 1300SMILES Stadium will continue to operate while the new North Queensland Stadium is constructed.
Detailed investigations to progress future uses of the existing stadium site will occur in due course.
Importantly, the headquarters and training field for the North Queensland Cowboys remains located at the 1300SMILES Stadium.
Will other community groups have the opportunity to use the sporting facilities in the North Queensland Stadium?
Modern stadia can be used for a wide range of sport, entertainment and cultural events.
The Queensland government is committed to maximising the use of the stadium and will work closely with Townsville City Council, sporting bodies and events promoters to ensure the people of North Queensland are provided with the opportunity to enjoy a variety of events at the new stadium.
What consideration has been given to the transport requirements for the stadium?
A review of the transport requirements was undertaken during the development of the business case.
A traffic engineering consultancy will be included in the design team in order to undertake detailed investigations and work with stakeholders to develop a suitable transport solution for the project, integrating both private and public transport.
The government considers an effective transport solution to be a critical element for the success of the project and is establishing a transport committee to oversee its development.
The committee will include specialist design consultants, Townsville City Council, Department of Transport and Main Roads, Department of State Development, Stadiums Queensland, transport providers and emergency services.
Will the stadium be called the North Queensland Stadium once it is completed?
The North Queensland Stadium is the current project name and reflects the vision to provide a best-practice regional stadium for the people of North Queensland.
In due course it is anticipated that Stadiums Queensland will negotiate a sponsorship agreement for the new stadium, assigning naming rights to the successful party.
Why is the Queensland Government delivering a new stadium for North Queensland?
The existing 1300SMILES Stadium at Kirwan, 17 kilometres west of the CBD, is ageing and will reach the end of its useful economic life within the next decade.
The government's recently announced Advancing North Queensland: Investing in the future of the north plan, identifies the North Queensland Stadium as one of five key initiatives aimed at diversifying and advancing North Queensland's economy.
The proposed Stadium is anticipated to result in jobs growth and skills development during the construction and operational phases of the project. This projected growth will be experienced in the construction, services, tourism, retail, commercial and hospitality industries within the North Queensland region.
The project is expected to generate up to 750 full-time equivalent jobs throughout the design and construction stages.
Importantly, the North Queensland Stadium project is expected to provide a much needed catalyst to revitalise Townsville's central business district.
