I am 5'8", 140 lbs, 34-year-old mom of 2, who at 14 weighed 230 lbs. I lost 90 lbs by age 15 and have kept it off for 20 years. I am very active, running 15 miles a week. Despite this, I suffer with loose skin on the abdomen and pockets of fat on my inner thigh. I am interested in a mini abdominoplasty plus Vaser or Smart Lipo to my abdomen and inner thigh area. Can you tell me if I am suitable, what result I might expect, and how much I should be paying? Thank You!
Possible to Get Flat, Taut Abdomen from Mini Tummy Tuck with Laser Lipo?
Doctor Answers 15
Laser lipo and mini tuck-- mini results and the "mini tuck look"
Tightening just the lower portion of the abdomen will likely give you the "mini tuck look", or a flat lower abdomen with a bulging upper abdomen.
As you can see below, there is probably no advantage to laser liposuction other than being the first on your block to have the discolored skin and irregularities we so often see.
You are probably best served with liposuction alone with a superwet technique (evolution of the tumescent technique), or with a modified full tummy tuck (to keep the incision low) with a small vertical scar. This will give you your flattest and prettiest abdomen possible.
Tummy Tuck concerns
Overall you have an excellent contour given your history. However, in consideration of your history and massive weight loss, it is most likely that ANY liposcution procedure will leave you with loose skin. Not to be overly critical but in my patient experience, you will likely experience persistently loose skin in the posterior hip & flank region (muffin top) with a mini tummy tuck. In all likelhood you will need an extedended abdominoplasty if not a full body lift.

Full vs Mini Tummy tuck vs Laser Lipo
"34 year old, 5'8", 140 lbs, mom of 2, who at 14 weighed 230 lbs" - your picture looks a lot better than your description.
As pictures go, it would have been helpful to have a picture of you bent (L shape) at the waist, with the stomach muscles relaxed, as if diving into a pool. Any stomach laxity would be manifested as a "HAMMOCK SIGN".
It has been said repeatedly but it is important to repeat it - liposuction will remove and sculpt fat, regardless of all the claims out there, it is NOT a good tool to shrink skin.
Abdominoplasty is intended to bring separated muscles to the midline, flatten the tummy and narrow the waist.
A MINI tummy tuck is worth doing ONLY in women with MINOR skin laxity whose only muscle separation is BELOW the belly button. The procedure does not go above nor treat the muscles above the belly button.
I find it hard to believe that you could have had 2 full term pregnancies and NOT have a muscle separation (diastasis). If that is the case, the only procedure of benefit to you would be a FULL abdominoplasty.
Good Luck.

Tummy tuck vs mini tummy tuck
Actually, with 2 children and a 90 pound weight loss, what you need is a full tummy tuck to get the flattest tightest abdomen you can have. A mini tummy tuck will only treat the abdomen below the umbilicus and the liposuction (smart, vaser or other) will NOT lead to skin shrinkage and that will make you unhappy in the end.

Mini tummy tuck
Mini tummy tucks produce mini results, consider abdominoplasty
Good work on the weight loss, and you have some excellent diet and exercise habits. A "mini" sounds appealing, but remember that it is less effective than a tummy tuck. It removes far less skin. If you want a taut abdomen, you are best to consider a tummy tuck. Many times women worry about the longer incision with a regular tummy tuck, which is why the surgeon needs to be careful to keep the incision down low, within the bikini line. If proper attention is paid to incision placement, women do not have a problem with the longer scar, and are very happy with the appearance of the tummy (the tradeoff is very favorable). Smartlipo also sounds good but the cannula is very small - this technique is better for small fat deposits such as under the chin. I use ultrasonic liposuction. Vaser is similar. But the most important thing is the experience and proficiency of your surgeon, not brand names, because a good surgeon can produce better results than a less experienced one even if he or she uses traditional liposuction.
Yes, definitely have liposuction in combination with your tummy tuck (a full one). The price should be less than $10,000, including anesthesia and the facility.

Mini or full tummy tuck?
Thank you for the question then picture. You should be commended on the figure you have maintained after 2 pregnancies. However, if you choose to have any surgery, the full tummy tuck procedure is the only procedure that will be likely to give you the results you are looking for.
Be careful- unless the correct diagnosis and treatment plan is designed you may be dissatisfied with the end results of your surgery.
In my opinion, the mini tummy talk is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite small. The abdominal wall musculature is addressed below the umbilicus leaving the upper number wall potentially lax. The appearance of the umbilicus is not necessarily addressed sufficiently.
For most patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight loss a full abdominoplasty is necessary to achieve the desired results. Of course, there are downsides (including a longer scar and probably a longer recovery time) but for most patients the benefits outweigh the downsides. It is not unusual to see patients who've had mini tummy tuck surgery present for revisionary surgery. It is important to work with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to obtain advice (based on good ethics and judgment) to improve your chances of a successful outcome and minimize the need for further surgery.
I hope this helps.

Consider liposuction alone or in combination with a tummy tuck.
Although a full tummy tuck with some liposuction of the adjacent hips and flanks may give you the best result, you need to weigh the risks and benefits of alternatives. Liposuction using modern techniques will improve your torso shape but will not affect any underlying muscle laxity. SmartLipo has demonstrated superior skin tightening compared to other techniques but the degree of tightening still falls short of what we would like to see. From your pictures I would suggest that a more conservative approach is appropriate. SmartLipo of your torso will result in nice improvements, maintained skin tone (not tighter, and not looser) and a very easy recovery. If after healing you feel that you want further skin tightening or need muscle tightening then get a tummy tuck! Many patients looking for improvement and not perfection, just like you can be thrilled with SmartLipo or Vaser liposuction if your surgeon prefers. I have both and without question would choose SmartLipo.

Tummy tuck
Looking at the photo, I don't know if you need any tummy tuck. I haven't found any difference with laser lipo. The cost is more, and there is a small chance of a burn. I am not convinced of the benefits of laser lipo.
Mini Tummy Tuck and Laser Liposuction
From your picture it doesn't look like you really need a mini tummy tuck. Standard liposuction on your abdomen and medial thighs would do quite well. There is no advantage to "laser lipo" and the potential complications are significant. Go with the gold standard-tumescent liposuction.

Until today, I was unaware that a skull and crossbones symbolizes eternal love. Strange? Yes. Dramatic? Of course. I love the smooth white gold and diamond-encrusted "teeth" on this ring. A total 0.12 carat diamonds, it's subtle bling. With a subtle message.
I bought this ring in Vegas in September 2007. I had lusted after it for a very, very long time and it was the first time I'd ever seen it for sale. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. Six months later it's still my favorite piece of jewelry ever.

I love jewelry with a story. I lusted after this ring for quite some time based purely on aesthetics, but once the salesgirl at the Dior store in the Bellagio told me the story behind the collection, I knew I couldn't resist buying it. There are so many subtle, artistic elements that you only get with well-made and well-thought out jewelry. The hidden hearts are my favorite detail.

Dr. Susan Bartell, a national child raising expert, shares her advice for parents on how changing a few small things can lead to more motivation for the whole family.
I often find that March is a tough month for parents and kids. The excitement of the new school year is long gone, the holiday season is definitely over, the humdrum of the usual routine has become stale, and the summer is not quite yet around the corner. It can be difficult to stay motivated - to get through the school week with a smile or with the same effort as everyone applied when the teachers and activities were new. But of course, you can't kick back just yet - there are still at least a couple of months of homework, after-school activities, and commitments to get through before breathing a sigh of relief that summer is here!
So, what can you do to stay motivated? I would like to offer a few ideas that will keep you and your family smiling through the rest of the school year:
Become a tourist in your own town.
Look for one or two activities that you've never done, right in your backyard. It can be as simple as attending story-time at the library or visiting a playground that you have never explored. You'll be surprised at how something so simple can brighten the week for everyone. (Check out our calendar of activities for some immediate inspiration.)
Read a book, watch a movie, play a game.
Kids love repetition, so you have probably been reading the same bedtime books, watching the same TV shows, and playing the same board games over and over for the past few months. Shake it up a bit with some new selections. There is a world of fabulous children's books and movies that your child has probably never seen - both available free at your local library, if you don't feel like committing to a purchase. Plan a family movie or game night. You might introduce a new board game or movie (maybe one that you loved as a kid) and have some fun.
Change up the menu.
Over the next few months, introduce new foods or menus to your usual repertoire. It doesn't have to be complicated. For example, kids love themed dinners (Italian night with pizza and garlic bread, or Mexican tacos with different toppings). You can also add little surprises to school lunch boxes, or serve up weekend breakfast treats like shaped pancakes (use a cookie cutter), or how about breakfast for dinner.
Spring clean.
At first, you may not warm to the idea of tidying up or sorting through clothes or toys. But once you and your child get started, it can be not only fun, but offer a sense of accomplishment and an eye to the coming summer months.
You will be surprised at how a few changes can really brighten up the final stretch of the school year. As you introduce these small motivators, they will surely put a smile on your child's face...and that smile is sure to motivate you as well!

About a year ago I had my front 6 teeth crowned. In this year I've had two break in the middle of the night through contact with my bottom teeth, the second being very recent. My dentist fixed the first by filing down the tooth that could touch when I bit and told me that I have an abnormal grinding problem. I've never had any grinding issues until after having these crowns. Is it normal to develop a grinding issue like this after getting crowns? Or is this a different issue?
Is It Normal to Develop Teeth Grinding After New Crowns?
Doctor Answers 3
Is it normal to have tooth grinding after a crown is inserted?
No it is not normal to have tooth grinding after the insertion of a crown or filling many times this is an indication the restoration may need an adjustment, or your TMJ may be not functioning in its proper position.
Kevin Coughlin DMD, MBA, MAGD CEO Baystate Dental PC.
Teeth grinding after 6 anterior crowns
Everybody after 30 yrs of age grinds the teeth: It`s part of routine everyday stress and improper handling of the problem from dental specialist. 6 crowns in the anterior is the most demanding, aesthetic and important area of the mouth and the smile. So, it should be handled adequately. 6 crowns can easily change the occlusal relationship and trigger teeth grinding (bruxism). Before final cementation the occlusal contacts should be adjusted , as well as a week or two later. Also the very important factor- occlusal guard should be made to protect the restorations from crack and preserve them and opposing dentition for a longer time.
Teeth Grinding After New Crowns
Sometimes, the new crowns can be the "straw that breaks the camel's back". Your TMJ (grinding) issues might have been ready to happen, and then any slight change in the way your teeth meet could have been the precipitating factor in your grinding issues. See a dentist who is well-studied on occlusion, and have them evaluate your bite. You should also consider a night guard.

Houston TX (SPX) Feb 01, 2013
It would be a terrible thing if laboratories striving to grow graphene from carbon atoms kept winding up with big pesky diamonds.
"That would be trouble, cleaning out the diamonds so you could do some real work," said Rice University theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson, chuckling at the absurd image.
Yet something like that keeps happening to experimentalists working to grow two-dimensional boron. Boron atoms have a strong preference to clump into three-dimensional shapes rather than assemble into pristine single-atom sheets, like carbon does when it becomes graphene. And boron clumps aren't nearly as sparkly.
Yakobson and his Rice colleagues have made progress toward 2-D boron through theoretical work that suggests the most practical ways to make the material and put it to work. Earlier calculations by the group indicated 2-D born would conduct electricity better than graphene.
Through first-principle calculations of the interaction of boron atoms with various substrates, the team came up with several possible paths experimentalists may take toward 2-D boron. Yakobson feels the work may point the way toward other useful two-dimensional materials.
The Rice team's results appear this week in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Rice graduate student Yuanyue Liu and research scientist Evgeni Penev are co-authors of the paper.
Yakobson's lab first reported in a Nano Letters paper last year that unlike graphene, 2-D boron rolled into a nanotube would always be metallic. Also unlike graphene, the atomic arrangement can change without changing the nature of the material. Instead of the steady rank-and-file of hexagons in a perfect graphene sheet, 2-D boron consists of triangles. But boron could have vacancies - missing atoms - without affecting its properties.
That's the theory. The problem that remains is how to make the stuff.
"We are, perhaps, so close," Penev said. "Here we have conceived a material that resembles graphene, but is always conductive no matter what form it takes. What we're doing now is exploring different possibilities to connect our theories with reality."
The best method, they calculated, might be to feed boron into a furnace with silver or gold substrates in a process called chemical vapor deposition, commonly used to make graphene. The substrate is important, Penev said, because the atoms have to spill onto the surface and stick, but not too strongly.
"You have to have a substrate that doesn't want to dissolve boron," he said. "On the other hand, you want a substrate that doesn't bind too strongly. You should be able to detach the boron layer."
Then, like graphene, these atom-thick boron sheets could be applied to other surfaces for testing and, ultimately, for use in applications.
The study also calculated methods for creating sheets via saturation of boron atoms on the surface of boride substrates, and the evaporation of metal atoms from metal borides that leaves just the target atoms in a sheet.
"There are a lot of reasons boron could be interesting," said Liu, the paper's first author. "Boron is carbon's neighbor on the periodic table, with one less electron, which might bring in lots of new physics and chemistry, especially on the nanoscale. For example, 2-D boron is more conductive than graphene because of its unique electronic structure and atomic arrangement.
"In fact, comparing (boron) with graphene is very helpful," he said. "The state-of-art synthesis methods for graphene provide us good templates to explore 2-D boron synthesis."
Yakobson is thinking a step beyond the current work. "There are many groups, at Rice and elsewhere, working on 2-D boron," he said. "To appreciate this work, you have to stand back and contrast it with graphene; in some sense, the synthesis of graphene is trivial.
"Why? Because graphene is a God-given material," he said. "It forms at the global minimum (energy) for carbon atoms - they go there willingly. But boron is a different story. It does not have a planar form as a global minimum, which makes it a really subtle problem. The novelty in this work is that we're trying to trick it into building a two-dimensional motif instead of three."
The search for 2-D materials with varying qualities is hot right now; another new paper from Rice on a hybrid graphene-hexagonal boron nitride shows the need for a 2-D semiconductor to complement the material's conducting and insulating elements.
Yakobson hopes his study serves as a guideline for practical routes to other novel materials. "Now that there is a growing interest in a variety of 2-D materials, this may be a template," he said.

Review by Mark Dujsik | October 25, 2012
Perhaps we all hope that the story of our individual lives is worth the telling. We suspect Mark O'Brien's story is, despite the constant effort of The Sessions to reduce the life of a complex man in a maddening situation to simple statement: "My penis talks to me." For O'Brien, who died in 1999 at the age of 49, sex seemed to be an impossible act. As a child, he contracted polio, which left him almost completely immobile—only able to move his head—and needing an iron lung to breathe.
The Sessions is at least as forthright as O'Brien was about his experience attempting to correct his lack of sexual experience; his 1990 article about his encounters with a sex surrogate does not hold back from the graphic details—or the frustration, embarrassment, and guilt of a man who is uncertain whether having sex for the first time is worth the effort before and after he actually does. The movie, written and directed by Ben Lewin, practically ignores everything about O'Brien's life except as it relates to his sexual odyssey, turning the life of the man into little more than a curio.
Here is a man who, in the movie's prologue, managed to complete his bachelor's degree with the aid of a motorized gurney. At the story's start, he is a working journalist, focusing on the struggles of people with disabilities. The act of typing those stories and the poetry that allows him to explore his own feelings about his physical state is an overwhelming task unto itself. Without the ability to use his hands, he must place a stick between his teeth and use that to type.
It's these little details that have the greatest impact in O'Brien's story. The slightest act from the world outside—his cat's tail brushing against his nose—or what we would consider a moderate inconvenience—a power outage—become things infuriating—an all-night attempt to scratch the itch with his mind—and potentially deadly—the iron lung lacks a backup power source. An assistant administers his daily sponge baths and pushes him in a gurney wherever he needs to go (The motorized one caused too many "spectacular accidents," as he simply could not see where he was going).
John Hawkes plays Mark in a performance that relies entirely on two things: The strained inflection of his speech and his eyes. The former gives Mark's sardonic sense of humor an extra bite, since it takes a split second to register the jokes he makes with regularity. The latter, especially as lit by cinematographer Geoffrey Simpson, suggests a combination of total recognition and analysis of his surroundings and situation and a sense of grief in the conclusion.
The screenplay quickly focuses on an easy explanation for Mark's sadness when he hires a pretty, new attendant named Amanda (Annika Marks). He's infatuated with her but cannot do anything about it. He wants to be able to touch her. Despite his appearance, Mark is not fully paralyzed; he still has sensation. He goes so far as to tell her that he loves her. She might reciprocate those feelings, but perhaps his physical limitations or her fear of what others might think about such a relationship keep her from following through with the idea.
While writing an article about the sex lives of other people with disabilities, he decides he should attempt to have one of his own. That eventually leads him to start meeting with Cheryl (Helen Hunt), a sex surrogate who will help him experiment with his sexuality with the ultimate goal of having intercourse. If he can get past his insecurity, Mark believes it will be a cure-all for his woes.
Lewin whittles down Mark's conflicted being to this single thread (It goes against the spirit of the article upon which the movie is based, too, but that's a separate argument altogether). The choice is questionable, but at least the movie treats Mark's dilemma with as much respect as can be mustered from a movie that plays most of his missteps—premature climaxes and the like—for comedy. Much of that quality comes from actual content of the scenes between Mark and Cheryl, which do not shy away from reality, with her guiding him physically and vocally through the mostly awkward process.
The events surrounding the first sessions between the two feel natural, with Mark's priest (William H. Macy) acting in a more friendly than official capacity and Cheryl's husband (Adam Arkin) eschewing a more conflict-friendly response and dubbing her a "saint" for her work (Unfortunately, this attitude does not last for long), and the relationship between Mark and Cheryl finding the appropriate tension between his transference of emotions toward her and her need to keep things professional. This cannot last, and the gradual turn toward a story of unrequited love on both ends feels false.
So too does the movie's ultimate perspective on Mark's exploits, which further diminishes everything about the man to an easy-to-digest lesson about love from an almost omniscient voice-over. Again, there's a worthy story in Mark O'Brien's life, and The Sessions simply is not it.

Aircraft from Singapore have joined Indonesia's intensive search for a plane that had 102 people on board when it disappeared in bad weather four days ago.
Military and civilian rescuers have been hunting for the plane over the dense jungle and rugged mountains of western Sulawesi while navy vessels combed the Makassar Strait between Sulawesi and Borneo.
But the search efforts have been hampered by heavy rains and strong winds, as well as the rough terrain which has made communication and transport difficult.
Senior government officials apologised late on Tuesday for erroneously saying the 17-year-old Boeing 737-400, operated by budget carrier Adam Air, had been spotted on Sulawesi and 12 passengers had survived.
The missing plane was carrying 96 passengers and six crew. A copy of its manifest showed three passengers as non-Indonesians. The US embassy in Jakarta said they were Americans.
"The planes are moving, Indonesian military Boeings, two Singaporean Fokker-50s, all of them are airborne. There are three vessels (at sea) and one is going to join them," First Air Marshal Eddy Suyanto told Reuters.
The search effort is being coordinated from Makassar, Sulawesi's largest city, 1,400km east of Jakarta.
Officials had announced late on Wednesday that Singapore would be supplying surveillance aircraft for the search and that the United States was also offering unspecified aid.
"We welcome all kind of help from local people and other countries like Singapore or the USA. We become more enthusiastic with their help and devices," Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Firdaus Syamsudin told Reuters.
"The more people who look for (the plane), hopefully the faster we find it."
South Sulawesi governor Amin Syam said on Wednesday that many rescuers were worn out after following Tuesday's false alert.
Officials said the mistaken information about finding a crash site and survivors came from accounts from a local village that police then relayed to government agencies.
The circulation of the report drew strong criticism from politicians and passengers' relatives.
"I feel fooled. This is what I call playing games with the feelings of the victims' relatives," said Peter Tolitton, whose brother was aboard the ill-fated plane.
Joseph Umar Hadi, an opposition member of the Indonesian parliament's transport commission, said annual checks on planes operated by budget carriers were "very insufficient".
The confusion over the missing plane highlighted the logistical difficulties of dealing with disasters, from quakes and volcanoes to floods and forest fires, in an archipelago of 17,000 islands that stretches about as wide as the United States.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has ordered a full investigation into the condition of all commercial planes in Indonesia and what went wrong in the Adam Air case, as well as an evaluation of the nation's transportation system.
Adam Air's plane disappeared less than three days after a ferry capsized and sank off Indonesia's main island of Java.
Officials say at least 239 of those on the ferry have been rescued since it sank overnight on Friday, but nearly 400 more are unaccounted for and many dead have been unofficially reported.

NASA to grow food in space
For the first time, NASA is experimenting with growing food in space. From this December, the agency will be running the Vegetable Production System, or VEGGIE, on the International Space Station as it looks for cheaper ways to feed astronauts. Food currently costs about £6,350 per pound to send into space, so you can see why this is an area where NASA is interested in exploring.
VEGGIE is a small rig that will grow six romaine lettuce plants under LED lights, and it's thought they'll be ready for eating in 28 days. This particular strain of lettuce combines fast growth with a richness in antioxidants, takes up little space and requires no real preparation before eating. Other candidates for future testing are radishes and a special type of tomato. [Source: Modern Farmer]
Audi and Leica team up on premium compact camera
The new Leica C Type 112 is the venerable company's first camera to offer Wi-Fi and NFC – and it's designed by Audi to boot. Available in dark red and champagne finishes, it sports a 12.1MP sensor, 20-200mm equivalent zoom lens and 3in screen. It'll be out in the next week or two in the UK, priced at £550.

Software turns 2D images into 3D objects
What if, with a simple success of mouse clicks, you could take a two-dimensional photo of a simple object and turn it into a fully rotatable 3D model? That's the reality offered by 3-Sweep, a piece of software which defines and maps flat objects and transforms them near-autonomously into editable 3D objects – all the user need do is made three sweeps with his or her mouse (hence the name). Check out the impressive video to see it in action. [Source: DVICE]

- Windows Live Calendar has already appeared in numerous Metro demos as Calendar. Windows Live Contacts is now called People. Windows Live Photo Gallery morphs into Photos. Perhaps someone discovered that putting the full name of all of those apps on Metro-size tiles would drive the display font down to about 4 points. At any rate, at this point, nobody knows what the tile-ized applications will look like.
- Windows Live Messenger sits perched in a particularly precarious position, with Lync on one side and Microsoft Skype on the other. It's been integrated in various degrees into all sorts of sites and apps, including Internet Explorer, Hotmail, SkyDrive, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Windows Live Photo Ga -- er, Photos, Bing, Xbox Live, Windows Phone, the Zune (which is also biting the dust) and it's available for iPhone and iPad from the Apple App Store. It looks like Windows Live Messenger will be called Messaging, or perhaps Messenger, but it's ripe for inclusion in either Skype or Lync or both.
Tom Warren at The Verge quotes unnamed sources as saying that Messaging, Mail, Calendar, and People "are designed to be core Windows communications apps," although that characterization has to make one wonder where Skype fits into the mix. Warren also says that "the Music and Video applications are currently branded with Zune, but are built by the Xbox team. We are hearing that this branding will be removed shortly before the Windows 8 release, moving to Xbox Live for Windows as the entertainment brand for Windows 8 Music, Video and Games." One must also wonder why Xbox would retain the recently dearly departed "Live" designation.
Missing in action, so far: Windows Live Family Safety, Windows Live Movie Maker, and Windows Live Writer. It's easy to imagine Live Writer going away, absorbed by Word 15 and the new SkyDrive. But the other two aren't so readily dismissed.
We also have no idea which, if any, of the new Live-less apps will ship with Windows 8, and which will have to be downloaded from the Windows Store. Microsoft may not make that decision until it's close to the final release.
There are much greater concerns, of course. What happens to the Windows Live programs that run on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7? Remember, the ones that existed before we'd ever heard of Metro tiles? Is Microsoft going to pour any money into improving those "legacy" apps -- particularly when the revenue from all of them put together probably wouldn't pay Bing's bills for a day? If it won't run on a tile, will Microsoft turn a blind eye?
Compare and contrast with Apple's branding. We have iMail (formerly known as iMail, then iMail, and uh iMail, and iMail) and iTunes (aka iTunes, iTunes, and ... you get the idea). The toughest rebranding hurdle Apple customers had to clear came when the term "Mac OS" turned into "OS."

Five lead changes. Three tied scores. A violent collision at home plate leading to a player ejection. Just another typical Brookside Christian-Elliot Christian rivalry baseball game that wasn't decided until the late innings.
Justin Santos tripled with one out in the bottom of the sixth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Austin Vickers to give the Eagles an 8-7 lead and Jacob Olson drove in an insurance run with a sacrifice fly as Elliot Christian edged Brookside Christian, 9-7, in a thriller at Tony Zupo Field on Monday night.

Power Wheels Make Really Bad Getaway Cars
It did NOT happen in Florida. It happened in Arkansas. Twenty-eight-year-old Jamie Craft drunkenly crashed her 2001 Pontiac Grand Am into a mobile home and tried to flee the scene of the crime in the nearest getaway car: her son's Power Wheels truck. She was shoeless, pantsless, "pretty irate" and "very intoxicated" (her blood alcohol level was about three times the legal limit) when police caught up to her. Obviously, she didn't get very far. Craft is facing a whole mess of charges from driving under the influence to disorderly conduct. Lesson learned. Don't drink and drive Power Wheels. Or real cars. [Gawker]

You'll Get a Chuckle Out of this Wedding Proposal Rejection Prank [Video]
We've all seen videos of poor bastards getting their hearts broken with a rejected marriage proposal. I usually have to stop and ask myself if the video is legit or a setup to get some laughs. Let me tell you now, this video is a prank…and it's good for a laugh, especially on V-Day.
That's not to say that all public proposal rejections aren't authentic. I'm sure some, even most, are painfully all too real. And forgive me if I sound cold blooded, but I don't have too much sympathy for these guys. Common sense would tell me not to propose (especially in a public setting) unless I was 99.5% sure the response would be "yes." If you're gonna pop that question, you gotta at least discuss the topic with your sweetheart ahead of time. I'm not saying you have to give it away and ruin the surprise, but you can at least try to get a vibe on what her answer is going to be.
Since the two main participants in this video are obviously in on the prank, the goal is to get awesome reactions from the passers-by…and they do just that. It's hilarious to see the look of joy and hope, the smiles and the cell phones…and then see cheeks drop and the look of shock on people's face.

Wall Street Urges Obama to Commit the Great Betrayal
The Safety Net is the Glory of America and the Unending Wall Street Nightmare
Wall Streets leading false flag group, the Third Way, has responded to the warnings that Robert Kuttner, AFL-CIO President Trumka, and I have made that if President Obama is re-elected our immediate task will be to prevent the Great Betrayal the adoption of self-destructive austerity programs and the opening wedge of the effort to unravel the safety net (including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid). Romney favors the same betrayal, but it would be political suicide for a Republican national leader to lead the attack on the nations most popular programs. Huge majorities of Americans oppose cuts in the safety nets. A majority of Republicans oppose such cuts and Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the cuts.
The American people love the safety net because they know it is essential to a humane America. They know that it has transformed the nation. Before Social Security, older Americans were frequently reduced to poverty and dangerously inadequate health care that made the remainder of their lives dangerous and miserable. The safety net does not cover only the elderly and the sick. My father, for example, died when I (the eldest of three children) was 19 and a sophomore at the University of Michigan. Even though in-state tuition was inexpensive in those days I would have had to drop out of school. Survivors benefits allowed me to obtain a superb education and pay back the nation with service and decades of greater taxes because education increased y income. Food stamps and unemployment insurance frequently provide the temporary support that prevent tragedy and allow Americans to obtain useful education and jobs. The safety net has made America a nation we are proud of and a nation that makes it possible for Americans to recover from hard times and tragedy and to on to lead lives that are vastly more productive and enjoyable.
One of the most important reasons that more Americans support the Democratic Party than the Republican Party is that the Democratic Party is viewed as the Party that created and guards the safety net. The elements of the safety net are the crown jewels of Democratic Party policy successes.

5. austerity is the socialization of debt, false debt.
Last night the Greek parliament passed a 5 billion Euro austerity bill. Note that some 2,000 government workers were found to be hiding money out-of-country. Citizens surrounded parliament and demanded it step down; riot cops attacked (as always, as everywhere) and were met with stones and Molotov cocktails. The people aren't having it any more.

Only Democrats can start the destruction of Social Security and Medicare.
They are not privatizing, yet. But it will be death by a thousand cuts.
Cuts to these programs are not needed. That's the big lie.

Safeway says it intends to stop buying pork from suppliers that confine pregnant sows in narrow metal crates.
The nation's second-largest grocery chain joins McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's in phasing out pork that comes from pigs raised in so-called gestation stalls, which prevent pigs from turning around, moving forward or back, or lying down comfortably for most of their short lives. Animal welfare advocates have pushed for open stalls.
"It is Safeway's goal to have a gestation stall-free supply chain," Brian Dowling, Safeway's vice president of public affairs, said in a joint news release with the Humane Society of the United States. "With that in mind, the company is formulating plans to determine how it can reach that goal."
The company did not provide a target date, noting that it "has substantially increased the quantity of pork it buys from producers that have made commitments to decreasing gestation stalls in their breeding facilities" during the past several years.
The Humane Society praised the move.
"Safeway's decision to move away from gestation crates is welcome and encouraging news," said Wayne Pacelle, the head of the HSUS. "Given the scope and quantity of pork products sold by Safeway, this announcement is an important step in addressing animal welfare in the company's supply chain."
The HSUS released a report in January on welfare issues involving the crates.
Mercy For Animals documented suffering and mistreatment of pigs last year in an undercover investigation at a major Safeway supplier in Iowa, Select Farms. The organization said it was "cautiously optimistic" about the move away from gestation crates, which it called "one of the worst forms of institutionalized animal abuse in existence."
"By speaking out against these inherently cruel crates, Safeway is taking a positive step forward in improving animal welfare," said Nathan Runkle, executive director of Mercy For Animals. "We hope this announcement is more than PR hogwash and that Safeway acts quickly to remove these cruel confinement systems from its supply chain to spare millions of animals horrific misery and suffering."
The group called on Walmart, Kroger and Costco to follow Safeway's lead. The Compass Group, the world's largest contract food-service company, has stopped using pork raised in the crates. Pork giant Hormel announced in February that it, too, was ending the practice.
The use of gestation crates has been banned in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon and the European Union.

When Revenue Decoupling Will Work ... And When It Won't
As long as the Averch-Johnson effect continues to hold - which it likely will for many utilities - it may be difficult to persuade such utilities to abandon large-scale supply-side construction plans in favor of aggressive promotion of energy efficiency, even if a decoupling mechanism is in place.

The government has told East Timor the fledgling nation can't tax a lucrative pipeline from a Timor Sea gas field, in a move that has further soured relations between Australia and its neighbour.
East Timor's legal advisers believe Australia's stance gives the country further grounds to launch another round of arbitration over the Timor Sea Treaty, the agreement that governs $40 billion in oil and gas revenues that the nation wants declared invalid.
The government has been embarrassed by revelations it bugged East Timor's government offices as it negotiated the treaty and the espionage is being used by East Timor to force an arbitration in the Hague to have the treaty declared void.
Multinational energy company ConocoPhillips operates the Bayu-Undan natural gas facility in the Timor Sea, sending gas through a pipeline to Darwin for processing.
Treasurer Joe Hockey and Minister for Industry Ian Macfarlane wrote to East Timor in January saying they backed the assertion of ConocoPhillips that only Australia could tax the pipeline's activities as it had ''exclusive jurisdiction'' under the Timor Sea Treaty.
But East Timor alleges the company owes it hundreds of millions in tax revenue and it has a taxing right over income generated by the pipeline. The company and the nation are in the middle of arbitration proceedings in Singapore.
In a strongly worded reply to Mr Hockey and Mr Macfarlane, obtained by Fairfax Media, East Timor's petroleum and finance ministers, Alfredo Pires and Emilia Pires, insisted Australia's position on tax rights was ''very surprising'' and ''regrettable''.
''At no point has Australia raised an objection to Timor-Leste asserting and exercising its right to tax [the pipeline], despite being aware of Timor-Leste doing so.''
A spokeswoman for Mr Hockey said Australia's letter was an attempt to re-start a constructive discussion.
"Australia has continued a dialogue with Timor-Leste to ensure there is clarity around tax arrangements in the Timor Sea,'' she said.
She declined to say whether Australia's position on tax rights was new.
But East Timor's legal advisers insist the position is new, and therefore triggers a dispute under the Timor Sea Treaty.
The significance of this new trigger is that Australia is attempting to get the current round of arbitration, based on the argument that Australia's spying rendered the agreement invalid, thrown out because the dispute mechanism under the Timor Sea Treaty hadn't actually been activated.
Pierre-Richard Prosper, a legal adviser to East Timor, said it appeared Australia did not realise the legal significance of the letter from Mr Hockey and Mr Macfarlane.
"What they have been working to avoid, they have inadvertently achieved,'' he said. ''They have opened the door that they have been trying to close."
Dili is concerned the intervention is part of a wider and aggressive campaign by Australia over the Timor Sea reserves, which reached a new level when ASIO raided the offices of East Timor's Canberra-based lawyer Bernard Collaery. The raid prompted the International Court of Justice to issue an interim order forcing Australia to cease spying on East Timor and seal all material seized in the raid.
It comes as a confidential briefing note to East Timor claims a senior Australian diplomat told its advisers Australia was ''unhappy'' about the dispute, and told them the bi-lateral relationship was under threat. The diplomat also warned East Timor was ''going to run out of money''.

Social Media Consultant or Employee: What's the Best Hire for Your Small Business?
Most small business owners know that an active social media strategy is one of the key ingredients to a successful online marketing strategy. However, one of the main hurdles to developing a social media campaign is a lack of in-house resources and expertise that social media training can provide.
If you don't have immediate access to a social media guru, there are several directions you can take to create and maintain a successful online presence: 1) hire (outsource) a social media consultant or 2) create a permanent part-time or full-time position within your company.
Here is a brief guide to selecting which type of social media hire is best for your small business:
Outsourcing a Social Media Consultant
Every organization has different goals. Your unique social media goals will impact how an outside social media consultant can provide services to help you meet them.
If you're goal is to improve site traffic to your e-commerce site — increasing traffic by 250% or increase your social network's online following by 40% — a consultant can manage, optimize and prepare progress reports and assist in data analysis and evaluation.
Typically, small businesses find it more appealing to outsource a social media coordinator or management role, as opposed to hiring an employee. And if you choose to outsource your social media business needs, here are four important things to look for in new hires:
Does your potential candidate:
1. Have an influential, far-reaching and established professional presence online? The larger his or her influence, the more they can bring to you and your company.
2. Exhibit a willingness to cooperate with and listen to you when it comes to your company's mission and goals? A social media consultant should be technically competent and be able to relate to you and your employees at a level that reaches everyone.
3. Illustrate a passionate about his or her chosen profession? If so, your new social media hire will be equipped to demonstrate their dedication by delivering the results you desire.

'The Bachelorette' Fantasy Suite Week Recap: Shocking Exit Leaves Des Heartbroken
"The Bachelorette" is close to its final rose ceremony, but Desiree Hartsock may be a step further from finding her true love. Des got dumped by a guy whom she loved the most among the other remaining suitors during the fantasy suite date.
The episode set in Antigua started with Des and Drew's date. They attended a local festival, participated in a limbo contest and made out with each other. Their romantic dinner on the beach was ruined by rain.
Des and Drew then headed for the fantasy suite and she offered him the card. Drew was "ecstatic" and accepted it, because "I don't want to ever give up time with you." Drew told Des he's ready to propose and she admitted to camera that Drew made her feel like a princess.
Next, Des and Chris hopped a helicopter which took them to Barbuda Island. They had a picnic on the beach. During a dinner, Chris talked about raising a family in Seattle and Des said she's willing to move from California to Seatlle for the sake of love. She gave him the fantasy suite card and he read a poem for her.
Before Des reunited with Brooks, he met Chris Harrison to talk about his complicated feelings. Brooks admitted he wasn't sure if Des was the one for him, shedding some tears as he found it difficult to describe his feelings for her.
Des, on the other hand, said that she had "deeper feelings for Brooks" than for the other guys and would accept if he proposed to her. Her excitement to see him soon turned into tears as he approached with gloomy expression. She started to sob when noticing that something went wrong.
"It takes me a while when I see you again to remember what we have. I feel like I lose it," Brooks explained, asking Des not to cry and telling her that he wanted to be in love with her. "Why now?" Des asked. Brooks said that he needed more time and admitted, "I don't feel like the moments apart are hard enough."
Des told him she loved him even after he dumped her. "You're the only one that I could say that to. It sucks because for once in my life I was hopeful. It just sucks that I loved you. I do love you, regardless," she said.
After walking Brooks out, Des said, "This throws everything off, having Brooks gone. It breaks my heart. I just can't love [Drew and Chris] as much as they love me and that's not what they deserve. Honestly, for me it's over."

Nothing's quite as important as a sense of humor.
Losers of a season-worst six straight and nine of their last 10 games, the Padres were clinging to a one-run lead in the top of the ninth Tuesday night when the public address announcer at Fenway Park reported a record.
The Padres-Red Sox game had attracted 38,422 spectators – the largest crowd at Fenway Park since the end of World War II.
"When the Padres come to town, people come out," blurted reliever Mike Adams, who had just protected the lead with two strikeouts in a perfect eighth.
An inning later, with the help of an unusual, shift-triggered double play, Heath Bell, who was making his first appearance since June 13, had his 19th save and the Padres had a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox making Wednesday's series finale a rubber match.
And in a stranger twist of fate, Anthony Rizzo barely came through as the first baseman of the day while Adrian Gonzalez came up short.
"We won, the biggest thing is we won," said the 21-year-old Rizzo, who drove in the decisive run with a bases-loaded, one-out, seventh-inning grounder to Gonzalez.
Gonzalez, who went to his right to field the ball, wanted to throw to the plate for a run-saving force out. But as he spun, the ball popped out of his glove, reducing his options to only getting Rizzo at first.
"We won," reiterated Rizzo, who was one of four players who came to the Padres last December in the trade for Gonzalez. "I was just trying to put that ball into play.
"I was trying to get it through the infield. They got the ground ball that they wanted, but we got the run we needed. It was close, but we got it."
The entire game was close, and a bit bizarre.
The Padres scored their first two runs when Red Sox emergency starter Alfredo Aceves walked five straight hitters with two out in the second.
San Diego's next two runs scored the next time the bottom of the lineup came up in the third on three straight two-out hits -- a double by Rizzo off the Green Monster in left, an RBI single by Cameron Maybin, a steal by Maybin and an RBI double by Nick Hundley.
After the Red Sox battled back to tie the game against Mat Latos, Chase Headley opened the seventh with a single, advanced to third on Jesus Guzman's one-out double and raced home on Rizzo's grounder.
But the drama wasn't quite over.
Chad Qualls, who gave up a game-tying single to Gonzalez in the sixth – Gonzalez is 4-for-9 lifetime against Qualls with a homer last year and six RBI – worked his way out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth before turning the game over to Adams and Bell.
Adams got through his inning without a problem. But Kevin Youkilis singled to open the Red Sox ninth.
With left-handed slugger David Ortiz up, the Padres went into a shift with three defenders on the right side of the infield and Headley playing short.
Earlier in the game, the same shift against Ortiz had produced a Orlando Hudson to Headley force at second – the seldom-seen 4-to-5 for those keeping score at home. Before that, a Gonzalez comebacker to Latos with the shift and two runners on produced a 1-5-6 double play.
This time, Ortiz grounded the ball to Headley with the third baseman position just feet from the second base bag. Headley tossed to shortstop Jason Bartlett who made the relay to Rizzo for the ol' 5-6-3 double play.
"That was fun," said Headley, who plans to lobby Padres manager Bud Black for the title of "emergency shortstop."
"At first, I was going to take it myself, but Bartlett was right at the bag. So I tossed it."
"I was yelling at Chase to take it himself," said Bell, who was appearing in only his seventh game this month – pro-rated at around $178,500 per outing. "He was right at the bag."
Bell closed out the game by striking out J.D. Drew.
Lost in the shuffle of the post-game celebration was the effort of starter Mat Latos, who battled through a career-high 120 pitches while holding the Red Sox to four runs on 10 hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings.
"Mat was gutty, gritty," said Black. "He worked his tail off. He knuckled down every inning."
"I'm thankful I got away with some stuff and made some pitches. They take a lot of close pitches. That pushed me up in the pitch count. That was a battle. It was awesome."

Baton Rouge rapper Torence "Lil Boosie" Hatch, who was released from prison Wednesday night, will speak at a press conference in New Orleans on Monday.
The media invitation was circulated by the rapper's label, Atlantic Records.
According to the invitation, the invitation-only press conference will be hosted by both Atlantic Records and Baton Rouge-based Trill Entertainment.
Atlantic Records did not respond to questions Thursday about what topics Hatch will speak about.
Hatch was serving an eight-year sentence on drug charges at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
He was accused of murder in the 2009 killing of Terry Boyd, but was acquitted of the first-degree murder charge in May 2012.
Attempts to reach Hatch and his management on Thursday were unsuccessful.
