Retired Pima County Superior Court Judge Edgar Acuña died at his home early Tuesday. He was 64.
Family and friends remembered Acuña as a loving family man who intimidated younger attorneys in the courtroom, but was always fair.
"We're obviously all heartbroken," said Judge Richard Fields. "Ed always had this gruff appearance, sort of like George Patton. A lot of people used to be afraid of his mannerisms, but he was as soft as he could be on the inside. He was intelligent and considerate."
Acuña grew up in Westminster, Calif., and obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Arizona. He received his law degree from Western State University College of Law in Fullerton, Calif. He spent time in the Arizona Attorney General's Office, Pima County Legal Defender's Office and in private practice. He was an associate faculty member at Pima Community College and became a court commissioner in January 1993.
In December 1996, then-Gov. Fife Symington appointed him to the Pima County Superior Court bench, and he retired Sept. 30, 2011.
Gloria Acuña, who was married to Acuña 39 years, said his three grandchildren were "his everything."
"He was loyal to his family and friends, and he was a hard worker," Acuña said. "He started out with nothing and built what we had."
When their two children were small, the judge coached their son's baseball team, Gloria Acuña said. Over the last 20 years they were involved in a golf group, and over the last 10 years they went on wine trips with another group of friends.
Her husband also enjoyed hunting and was a "great storyteller," she said.
Retired Pima County Superior Court Judge Frank Dawley called Acuña "the ultimate family man," but also remembered his sense of humor, his ability to poke fun at people in a nice way, his talent for cooking a "mean steak" and his love of Mexican culture.
Professionally, the judge was level-headed and always able to maintain his perspective, Dawley said.
Gloria Acuña said she could tell when her husband had a particularly stressful case, but he always tried to shield his family from his work. She did know, however, that he became impatient with unprepared attorneys.
Former Assistant Pima County Public Defender CeCelia Valentine regularly appeared before the judge for more than six years. She called the Arizona Daily Star from her new job in Houston to express her condolences to the judge's family.
"He came across as really gruff to attorneys, but he was always fair and he gave a good trial," Valentine said. "He required everyone to be prepared and to be honest and to do your job. I always liked appearing in front of him."
Valentine remembers introducing her parents to the judge and him mentioning the fact she had probably warned them he was grouchy. Her mother covered for her and the judge never failed to ask about her parents after that, Valentine said.
In addition to his wife, Acuña is survived by his children, Alec and Andrea; and his grandchildren, Ayden, 11, Austen, 7, and Amaya, 2.

Pro-Israel Group Tries to Smear the Protesters
Posted on Oct 19, 2011
NEW YORK—A right-wing, pro-Israel group called the Emergency Committee for Israel has released a commercial that portrays the ongoing protests against the cozy relationship between government and corporations as anti-Semitic.
The ad begins with a voice-over claiming that some political leaders are sympathetic to Occupy Wall Street, followed by sound bites in which Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and commentator Eliot Spitzer make statements in support of protesters.
Viewers are then asked to consider what the protests are really about and shown clips in which supposed protesters connect Jews to the media and the financial industry and berate an elderly man wearing a yarmulke. Then the voice-over asks: "Why are our leaders turning a blind eye to anti-Semitic, anti-Israel attacks? Tell President Obama and ... Pelosi to stand up to the mob. Hate is not an American value."
As the OWS movement becomes a threat to entrenched power, smear campaigns against it are sure to come from the political and media establishment. Fortunately, there are reporters at Liberty Plaza who can see through such efforts. As one of them, I can tell you that I have not witnessed any acts of anti-Semitism and that there is even a growing Jewish presence inside the park.
All of the Jews I have met at Liberty have seemed comfortable among the protesters. Men wearing full beards with their hair in side curls have talked freely with just about every kind of person in the park and one group has even erected a sukkah—a temporary hut in which Jews pray to celebrate the festival of Sukkot. The only heated conversation I heard between Jews and non-Jews was on the subject of whether children should be raised with religious instruction—a topic that struck me as appropriate and necessary for a group of people that have gathered to talk about the kind of world they want for themselves.
Social tension is to be expected in the microcosm of society that protesters have created at Liberty Plaza. While the gathering may not perfectly replicate the social relationships of American society at large, its members are inevitably drawn from the public, and they bring with them a fair measure of its diversity of values, customs and beliefs, including, without a doubt, some ugly ones. —Alexander Reed Kelly

Gov. Pence signs first executive orders
Gov. Mike Pence has signed his first executive orders after being sworn in as Indiana's 50th governor Monday morning.
The governor signed six new orders which address ethics practices for state government, government efficiency and transparency, and impose a moratorium on new regulations.
The orders also require certain state agencies to develop family impact statements, set a goal of procuring three percent of state contracts from veteran-owned businesses, and establish a separate Office of Energy Development.
Pence proposed the family impact statements during his campaign. He says he wants to ensure that "intact married families" aren't hurt by state rules. He says the reviews aren't meant to disadvantage single-parent or other families.
Another order signed by the Republican governor switches the state board overseeing teacher contract negotiations so that it reports to the governor's office. Former Gov. Mitch Daniels transferred that board in 2011 to the state schools superintendent's office. Democrat Glenda Ritz took over that office Monday from Republican Tony Bennett.
Pence also signed eight orders continuing various boards and offices and continuing Western Governors University Indiana.
Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma, Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long, Democratic House Minority Leader Scott Pelath and Democratic Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane met with the new governor for about an hour Monday afternoon.
The leaders said they talked mostly about workforce development during their meeting in Pence's Statehouse office. Bosma says Pence looked for areas of bipartisan agreement. Long says it will be a change for Pence from the rancor of Washington that he experienced as a congressman.
Statement from Republican Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma:
"I have known Gov. Pence since our law school days; he is a man of great integrity and will lead our state to our shared goals of fiscal integrity and job creation. I have had the privilege of working with Lt. Gov. Ellspermann when she was a legislator in our chamber. Together, we will reach our mutual goal of taking Indiana 'from good to great.' "
From Sen. Tim Lanane (D-Anderson):
"I told the governor I appreciated his comments about being the governor of all the people. While it's obvious, I think it was important for him to have said that and for the people of Indiana to hear that."
From Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker:
"We wish Gov. Pence the best on his first day in office, and we look forward to seeing his full legislative agenda soon. We hope it will focus, as he pledged, on jobs and the economy and not on issues that will divide our state and put certain Hoosiers at a significant disadvantage."
Indiana Republican Party Chairman Eric Holcomb:
"With Gov. Mike Pence and Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann at the helm, Indiana's greatest days lie ahead."
The contours of Pence's first-year agenda are slowly taking shape now that he has assumed office and the key strokes will likely come in coordination with the General Assembly.
Pence was set to meet with his economic development team later Monday.
New Executive Orders:
Directive to name an agency ethics officer and to hold an annual legal and ethics conference
To promote transparency and integrity, this Executive Order mandates good, sound ethical practices which are currently in practice in State government. This includes requiring every state agency to name an ethics officer and requiring the Inspector General's office to hold a legal and ethics conference every year.
Promoting government efficiency, transparency, and superior performance through Program Assessment Comprehensive Evaluation (PACE)
This Executive Order ensures that taxpayer dollars are being spent efficiently and that Hoosiers can more easily see how their tax dollars are being spent. The order calls for a review of programs (PACE) that will allow the Pence Administration to review all agency performance metrics and requires OMB to develop a plan for performance-based budgeting. The review will help create user-friendly measures of performance that will be reported on the Indiana Transparency Portal. It also requires that the State develop a plan for making all state contracts electronically searchable on the portal.
Promoting job creation, economic development, and freedom by ordering a moratorium on regulations
In an effort to cut red tape, this Executive Order temporarily stops the creation of new regulations until the Office of Management and Budget can assess the costs and benefits of current regulations and recommend ways to reduce regulatory burdens. Exclusions are made for regulations needed to create jobs, reduce state spending, repeal existing rules, or address cases of emergency, health or safety.
Creation of family impact statements in certain Indiana state departments and agencies
Recognizing the economic advantages that intact married families offer children, this Executive Order requires the following agencies to assess the impact any new regulation will have on families by developing a Family Impact Statement:
· Family and Social Services Administration
· Department of Workforce Development
· Department of Child Services
· State Department of Health
· Department of Correction, and
· Criminal Justice Institute, including its Victim Services Division
The Family Impact Statements are a tool agencies will use to ensure that new regulations do not discourage the formation and well-being of intact married families, ensuring that all families have a level playing field.
Establishment of the "veteran business enterprise preference" presumption
This Executive Order establishes a goal of procuring three percent of state contracts from veteran-owned businesses, similar to, but not competing with the goals for, women-owned and minority-owned businesses. It recognizes the higher-than-average unemployment among veterans and seeks to increase job opportunities and encourage entrepreneurship among veterans.
Creation of the Indiana Office of Energy Development
Acknowledging the importance of low-cost energy to Indiana's economy, this Executive Order separates the Office of Energy and Defense Development (OEDD) into the Office of Energy Development (OED) and the Office of Defense Development (ODD). It tasks OED with developing and implementing a comprehensive energy plan for the state. It calls for ODD to focus on the growth of the state's defense assets and industries.
Rescinding Executive Order 11-07:
This Executive Order requires the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board to return to its historical practice of reporting to the Governor.
Continuing Executive Orders:
Continuation of the Governor's Emergency Advisory Group
Continuation of the Indiana Toll Road Oversight Board
Continuation of the Indiana State Trauma Care Committee
Continuation of the Office Of Public Finance
Continuation of the Indiana State Historical Records Advisory Board
Continuing WGU Indiana in partnership with Western Governors University to expand higher education opportunities for Hoosiers through on-line competency-based education.

I always look forward to the weekend; my hubby is home, I have help with the girls, and we get to go do fun stuff together as a family. This weekend was extra special because my younger brother came home from college for the weekend! My girls LOVE their "Bubby." They get so excited to see him, and never question whether or not he wants to play play-doh with them for hours at a time.
|My brother, sister, and me
The highlight of this weekend was getting to play music with my brother again. He is an amazing bass player, and he filled in at our church for our bass player who happened to be out of town this weekend. I play keyboard, so we got to play together again for the first time in years! He did an amazing job, and I have to say that every time someone gave him a compliment, my chest got a little bigger. I'm so proud of him, and can't wait to watch and see all that he is going to be and accomplish. Love you bro.
Jamie decided that raking the yard would be a good project for the afternoon, (he also wanted to try out his brand-new "clog-free" rake that he had just purchased) and before too long, had a few really big leaf piles that the girls just couldn't resist. Somehow, piles of leaves are much more fun when you're little. You don't notice the sticks, poky stems, spiders, dust, stuff in your eye, etc… They had a blast! We were picking stuff out of their hair (and other places) for hours. I think it was worth it, though.
Thank you God, for family, and for the wonderful moments that we get to spend together. May I look for joy in each one of them, and may I never take them for granted.

An ancient synagogue in Na'aran, near Jericho, was vandalized overnight Thursday with swastikas and pro-Palestinian slogans.
The vandalism was discovered early Friday morning, when local settlers came to the synagogue to pray. They found swastikas and pro-Palestinian slogans in Arabic, among them "Palestine belongs to us," sprayed on the walls, floors and beams at the entrance to the synagogue. An ancient mosaic was vandalized as well.
Various MKs condemned the incident.
"I call on the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to address the damage to the synagogue as if it were a mosque," said MK Michael Ben Ari (National Union), warning that failure by the authorities to address the issue could trigger acts of revenge.
Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein, meanwhile, said the incident was not surprising, adding that it proved Jewish sites should remain under Israeli sovereignty if they are to be preserved.
"Small wonder that the Palestinians, who destroyed and desecrated the findings on the Temple Mount, have no qualms about desecrating an ancient synagogue," said Edelstein.
MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) said she would convene an urgent meeting at the Knesset to discuss the incident.
Also on Friday, a fire erupted at a synagogue in Elad. Firemen were able to salvage two Torah scrolls.

Year-End Poll Results: Worries and Risks
Worrying is an inevitable part of life; the important thing is not letting those relationship, work, and money worries hamper our enjoyment of life. Worrying too much can prevent us from ever trying new things. So as part of our best of 2007 coverage, I posed two poignant questions: How many risks did you take in 2007, and what was your biggest worry?
Not surprisingly, 40 percent of readers named money as their biggest worry in 2007, while love life was a distant second with 19 percent of the votes. Fortunately, you guys aren't letting those worries get in the way of taking risks: 64 percent of you took anywhere from one to five big risks in 2007, and 10 percent of you said you've taken well more than 15 risks in order to push yourself and grow. Way to go!

UPDATE: Black NHL player Wayne Simmonds says he's not going to comment any more on a fan throwing a banana peel on the ice as the Philadelphia Flyers forward was attempting an overtime shootout goal against the Detroit Red Wings in an exhibition game in London, Ontario Thursday night.
"It was unfortunate that this incident happened but I am above this sort of stuff," said Simmons in a statement Friday. "This is something that is out of my control. Moving forward, this incident is something I will no longer comment on so I can just focus on playing hockey for the Philadelphia Flyers."
Simmonds drew strong support from other NHL players on Twitter. St. Louis Blues forward Chris Stewart tweeted: "The incident that happened in london tonight involving my best friend wayne simmonds was simply disgusting, its 2011 ppl need to grow up."
London native Logan Couture of the San Jose Sharks tweeted: "To hear what happened tonight to him in my hometown is awful. No need for this in sports, or life."
NFL running back Reggie Bush tweeted Saturday: "Much respect to Wayne Simmonds for taking the high road and not responding to the racist act of an ignorant fan!"
PREVIOUS: A fan threw a banana peel at black NHL hockey player Wayne Simmonds during a Philadelphia Flyers-Detroit Red Wings exhibition game in London, Ontario Thursday night, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman condemned the "obviously stupid and ignorant action" on Friday.
Simmonds, a right winger, was moving in on Red Wings goalie Jordan Pearce during a shootout when a fan in the upper deck threw a banana peel on the ice as an apparent racial taunt. Simmonds scored anyway but the Flyers lost 4-3.
The 23-year old winger told the paper he saw the banana peel out of the corner of his eye:
Hopefully, that wasn't directed towards me being black. Because if it was, that's just somebody being ignorant.
Peter Luukko, president of Comcast-Spectator which owns the Flyers, issued a statement on the incident Thursday night, according to Yahoo Sports:
It appeared as though a fan threw an object onto the ice during the shootout. Unfortunately, we weren't able to identify the individual.
Bettman weighed in with a statement Friday saying:
We have millions of great fans who show tremendous respect for our players and for the game. The obviously stupid and ignorant action by one individual is in no way representative of our fans or the people of London, Ontario.
San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture tweeted: "Wayne Simmonds is a good friend of mine. To hear what happened tonight to him in my hometown is awful. No need for this in sports, or life."
Willie O'Ree, who became the NHL's first black player in 1958 and now heads up the league's diversity program, said in a 2008 interview that he endured racial taunts in his playing days:
If you speared me or butt-ended me, I went after you. But when it came to racial remarks, I let it go in one ear and out the other. If I responded to every word that was said to me, I would have been in the penalty box all the time.

|Barrage Of Goals Sends Oregon Past Fresno State
FRESNO, Calif. -- The Oregon Ducks scored a season-high 18 goals en route to a convincing 18-8 win at Fresno State on Wednesday afternoon.
The victory marked Oregon's first of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation season. The Ducks are now 6-7 overall and 1-3 in conference play. Fresno State fell to 2-10 overall and 0-5 in the MPSF.
Oregon junior Shannon Propst continued her stellar play, scoring a career-high five goals, dishing out two assists and totaling a career-best seven points against the Bulldogs. Propst's first assist of the day, the 58th of her career, went to Sami Kiser at the 19:39 mark in the first half and it moved Propst past Jen May for fourth on Oregon's all-time assist list.
Propst's five goals are tied for the most goals scored by a Duck in a single game this year. Junior Hayley Milner, who finished with four goals on Thursday at Fresno State, has accomplished the feat twice.
Also recording hat-tricks for the Ducks were Kiser and Nikki Puscz. Devon Frazer, Ashley Inman and Olivia Pyne were responsible for Oregon's other three goals. Inman, a senior, matched a career-high three assists today as well.
After falling behind 1-0 less than four minutes into the game, Oregon responded by scoring the next seven goals to take a 7-1 lead with 16:17 remaining in the first half.
But Fresno State kept the game close and out-scored the Ducks 4-2 over the final 16 minutes of the half to cut the deficit to four (9-5) heading into the locker room.
Out of the halftime break, Oregon blitzed the Bulldogs with four-straight goals to push its lead to eight, 13-5, with 21:30 to go in the game. The first three goals of the half were scored by Propst, while Puszcz tallied the fourth.
Fresno State would draw no closer than seven the rest of the way and the Ducks cruised to a 10-goal victory.
Oregon won the draw control battle, 20-8, and out-shot the Bulldogs, 28-18.
Caroline Federighi and Salliebeth Finnegan split the time in goal for Oregon. Federighi made four saves in the second half, while Finnegan posted two in the first.

To the right, an interesting t-shirt I spotted on the way to The Big Tent this morning.
I cannot fathom why girls would knowingly hook up with boys who, they know ahead of time, would encourage them to abort their child after an oopsie. Pro-life boys, at least, would accept responsibility.
And what difference does it ultimately make? Fathers have no say in the life or death of their preborn children anyway. Pro-life boys will lament the death of unique human offspring created together; pro-choice boys will not only celebrate finding perpetual free sex, but also excapism from fatherhood.
Seems to me this girl is a walking advertisement for a good time at the DNC….
Whatever. Moving on, I thought you might like to see my working environment, so here's a photo of me this morning with my fellow bloggers in the background:
Yesterday I received an anti-McCain condom here; today it was a button.
Also, greenness is huge here; our table service is even compostable. There is a compost trash can next to the regular and recyclable trashes. Some of my conservative friends will worry I've gone to the dark side because there is an element of environmentalism I connect with. Earth and everything in it is God's creation and should be treated with respect.
But as I explained to a fellow blogger yesterday, who became beside himself when I said I didn't believe in the theory of global warming, liberals have taken a good thing too far, worshipping the earth as god and placing a higher priority on plant and animal life than on human life.
I told this fellow about Barack Obama, btw. He didn't believe me.
Famous people also drop by The Big Tent. Dan Rather is speaking upstairs right now on new media and MSM (which, I caught him saying, he didn't consider himself a part of when I ran up to get a photo). CO US Senator Ken Salazar dropped by a little while ago.
By sheer "luck", the only other conservative blogger and I happened to sit by each other today(! ), Conn Carroll of the Heritage Foundation.

EPA's Report on the Environment
Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Wadeable Streams
Freshwater benthic macroinvertebrate communities are composed primarily of insect larvae, mollusks, and worms. They are an essential link in the aquatic food web, providing food for fish and consuming algae and aquatic vegetation (U.S. EPA, 2006). The presence and distribution of macroinvertebrates in streams can vary across geographic locations based on elevation, stream gradient, and substrate (Barbour et al., 1999). These organisms are sensitive to disturbances in stream chemistry and physical habitat, both in the stream channel and along the riparian zone, and alterations to the physical habitat or water chemistry of the stream can have direct and indirect impacts on their community structure. Because of their relatively long life cycles (approximately 1 year) and limited migration, benthic macroinvertebrates are particularly susceptible to site-specific stressors (Barbour et al., 1999).
This indicator is based on data collected for EPA's 2008-2009 National Rivers and Streams Assessment (NRSA) and EPA's earlier Wadeable Streams Assessment (WSA). Wadeable streams are streams, creeks, and small rivers that are shallow enough to be sampled using methods that involve wading into the water. They typically include waters classified as 1st through 4th order in the Strahler Stream Order classification system (Strahler, 1952). Sites were sampled in two periods, 2000-2004 and 2008-2009. Crews sampled 1,282 wadeable stream sites during the first period and 1,162 during the second period throughout the contiguous U.S. using standardized methods (U.S. EPA, 2013b). Sites were sampled between mid-April and mid-November. At each site, a composite bottom sample was collected from eleven equally spaced transects within the sample reach. The WSA and NRSA are based on a probabilistic design, so results from the sample sites can be used to make statistically valid statements about the percentage of wadeable stream miles that fall above or below reference values for the indicator.
For this analysis, the 48 contiguous states were divided into nine broad ecoregions (U.S. EPA, 2013a), which were defined for the analysis based on groupings of EPA Level III ecoregions (Omernik, 1987; U.S. EPA, 2015). Benthic community condition was determined using a Macroinvertebrate Multimetric Index (MMI), which reduces complex information about community structure into a simple numerical value based on measures of taxonomic richness (number of taxa); taxonomic composition (e.g., insects vs. non-insects); taxonomic diversity; feeding groups (e.g., shredders, scrapers, or predators); habits (e.g., burrowing, clinging, or climbing taxa); and tolerance to stressors. Separate metrics were used for each of these categories in the nine ecoregions, based on their ability to best discriminate among streams. Each metric was scaled against the 5th-95th percentiles for the streams in each region to create an overall MMI, whose value ranges from 0 to 100 (Stoddard et al., 2005).
Once the overall MMI was established, a set of relatively undisturbed sites was selected to determine the range of MMI scores that would be expected among "least disturbed" sites. A separate reference distribution was developed for each ecoregion. Next, the MMI score for every sampled site was compared with the distribution of MMI scores among the ecoregion's reference sites. If a site's MMI score was below the 5th percentile of the regional reference distribution, the site was classified as "most disturbed." This threshold was used because it offers a high degree of confidence that the observed condition is statistically different from the "least disturbed" reference condition. Streams with MMI scores above the 25th percentile of the reference range were labeled "least disturbed," indicating a high probability that they are similar to the relatively undisturbed reference sites. Streams falling between the 5th and 25th percentiles were classified as "moderately disturbed." In addition to national totals, this indicator displays MMI scores for the nine ecoregions.
What the Data Show
Based on the MMI, 20 percent of wadeable stream miles nationwide were classified as "least disturbed" with respect to benthic macroinvertebrate condition in 2008-2009, compared with 27 percent in 2000-2004 (Exhibit 1). Stream miles classified as "most disturbed" accounted for 56 percent of the total in 2008-2009, compared with 44 percent in 2000-2004. These changes over time were statistically significant. In 2008-2009, the Coastal Plains region had the largest proportion (71 percent) of wadeable stream miles classified as "most disturbed." In contrast, the Western Mountains and Xeric regions had the largest percentages (44 and 42 percent, respectively) of wadeable stream miles classified as "least disturbed" in 2008-2009.
- Although the probability sampling design results in unbiased estimates for the MMI in wadeable streams during the April-November index period, values may be different during other seasons.
- Reference conditions for the MMI vary from one ecoregion to another in both number and quality, which limits the degree of ecoregional resolution at which this indicator can be calculated.
- This indicator provides an assessment of change between two points in time. Some of these changes are statistically significant, and some are not. Detecting long-term trends will require more years of data.
Data Sources
The results shown in this indicator come from EPA's 2008-2009 NRSA (U.S. EPA, 2013a), which includes 2008-2009 data as well as revised estimates of 2000-2004 conditions that were originally published in EPA's 2006 WSA (U.S. EPA, 2006). Data from individual stream sites can be obtained from https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/nrsa.

Is It Safe to Have a Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck at a Private Facility Not a Hospital?
Is It Safe to Have a Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck at a Private Facility Not a Hospital?
Doctor Answers 21
Is it safe to have a Mommy Makeover in a private facility in a private facility and not a hospital?
Is this an accredited facility
Will there be a board certified anesthesiologist administrating my anesthesia and monitoring me? How many times has my plastic surgeon performed this procedures before. What do the results look like? You missy look for many, many before and after photos. Are there scars around the belly button, or does the belly button look unnatural? If so, keep looking.
Is the Surgical suite accredited by JCAHO (Joint Commission) and /or AAAASF? Who will be in the OR with you. Who will be monitoring your progress after surgery? These are just a few questions you need to ask. I have created information and guidelines for women who are interested in having the best possible results from a mommy makeover.

Breast Reduction & Tummy Tuck Procedures Are Frequently Performed in Outpatient Surgical Facilities
Breast reduction and tummy tucks are frequently performed in outpatient surgery centers. When having outpatient surgery, it's important to make sure that the facility is fully accredited and certified at both the state and federal levels. It's also important to make sure that both your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist are board certified as well.
When cosmetic surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, certain criteria must be met. Patients need to be in good health otherwise and they must have a support system in place. Safety should always be a priority. When patients have co-existing medical problems, they should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation before surgery. Depending upon the results of these studies, inpatient surgery may be indicated.
Every patient's situation is slightly different and because of this, some patients should have outpatient surgery while others should have inpatient surgery. This decision is determined by multiple factors. These include the overall health of the patient, the nature of the procedure, the surgeon's preference and the patient's support system. The vast majority of cases can be done safely on an inpatient basis. This has the added advantage of significant savings and the convenience of home during recovery.
Hospital vs. Surgery Center for Mommy Makeover
The answer to your question is a resounding YES. Board Certified Plastic Surgeons can only operate in certified surgery centers or hospitals. Therefore, by definition, if you are going to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, then your surgery will be done in a certified surgery center. Ask to see the credentials of your anesthesiologist and your plastic surgeon. Ask to speak to a few of the plastic surgeons patients who had similar procedures to see what level of care they got at this private facility.
In Hawaii, most of the cosmetic surgeries are done in private facilities by highly qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. I am certain that North Carolina has the same quality facilities and also highly qualified plastic surgeons.

Private Facilities vs Hospitals for Procedures
If you are in good health, are an appropriate candidate and plan to have your surgery at a Certified Ambulatory Facility, than it is safe to have both of these procedures outside the hospital.
As a patient, you want to review the certification of the facility and to review the credentials of your anesthesiologist. Facilities that are AAAA (Quad A C) certified, are held to the same standards as the hospital. They are regularly re-inspected to make sure the safe standards are maintained.
Additionally, you need to carefully consider your immediate post-op recovery. Will you be staying at the facility and will you have access to nursing care. The first 48 hours following these two procedures especially when done together, are painful. You will want to review pain management, and how you will be assisted to get out of bed, as well as deep breath and cough.
Finally, you will want to know how you will reach your doctor in the event of an emergency.
Mommy Makeover at Private Facility vs. Hospital
The answer will depend on multiple factors. First, what is your health status, and are you a candidate for an outpatient procedure? You may need to be cleared for surgery by your Family Medicine or Internal Medicine Physician. Next, what is the certification status of the surgey center? National certifications will help keep high standards, (i.e.; AAAASF, JCAHO, Medicare). Also, the choice of Anesthesiologist is important. We use a Board Certifeid Anesthesiologist for our cases. Further, make sure the Plastic Surgeon has admitting privileges at a nearby hospital just in case. With that said, most cases can be done safely in an outpatient setting. Do talk with your Plastic Surgeon if you have any concerns.

Surgery at a private facility.
It is safe to have surgery performed in a private facility. Facilities that specialize in plastic surgery can offer the same degree of safety but a more private experience. It is absolutely imperitive however that the surgery facility be fully accredited, the surgeon board certified.
Learn more: http://www.jaimeperezmd.com
Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck in a Private Facility
Whether it is safe to have these procedures performed together (in any location) will depend on your specific medical history, physical examination and selection of surgeon. You need to make sure that your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon who works with a board certified Anesthesiologist who works in a fully accredited surgery center or hospital.
I hope this helps.

Surgery outside a hospital
I either perform surgery in a hospital or an accredited facility through what is called Quad A or (AAAASF). If a patient has significant medical issues I will always do it in the hospital. Most patients prefer my facility because I think it is less stressful for the patient. Both are safe and offer different advantages.
Learn more: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Private facility vs Hospital
For any cosmetic surgery, I recommend you have your procedure at an accredited facility (such as an AAAASF accredited surgery suite/facility) or a hospital. Accreditation ensures that certain safety parameters have been met. Talk to your PS about the private facility. Visit the facility. If you do not feel comfortable, then you can always opt for a hospital.
Safety of private surgery centers
Safety is a very big issue in plastic surgery these days. In many ways you are actually safer at a private facility been in the hospital because one in 20 people that are hospitalized get a hospital infection. The risk of infection at a private facility is minimal. You should, however, check to see that this facility is accredited by AAAASF or AAAHC, the two main accrediting bodies. As an inspector for AAAASF myself, I can tell you that this organization takes outpatient safety in its accredited facilities very seriously. There are inspections and high standards which the facilities have to pass in order to be accredited so just make sure you do your homework.

Play: "Driving Miss Daisy"
Group: Dramatic License Productions
Venue: Dramatic License Theatre, Chesterfield Mall (upper level next to Houlihans')
Dates: March 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27
Tickets: $22-$25; contact 636-220-7012 or www.dramaticlicenseproductions.com
Story: It's 1948, and Atlanta banker Boolie Werthan is concerned about his 72-year-old mother, Daisy. The widow Werthan has been involved in another automobile accident caused by her increasingly reckless driving. Boolie decides that Mama has taken her last spin behind the wheel, and puts out an ad for a driver.
When he interviews an engaging African-American gentleman named Hoke Coleburn, he finds the man's solid work record and genial demeanor to his liking and hires him to chauffeur his cantankerous mother. After a fitful start dealing with the irascible Daisy, Hoke slowly wins over her begrudging acceptance and, eventually in the course of his 25-year tenure, her friendship as well.
Highlights: Alfred Uhry won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for this brisk and bright one-act play, which cleverly observes the changing social scene in America through the budding relationship between an elderly Jewish lady and her black driver. It's the first of Uhry's trilogy of works that delve into the Jewish experience in 20th century Atlanta, including "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" and "Parade." The initial off-Broadway production starred Dana Ivey and Morgan Freeman, while a current Broadway revival features the talents of James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave. Freeman reprised his role in the 1989 film that co-starred Jessica Tandy and Dan Aykroyd.
Other Info: The current presentation by Dramatic License Productions is a breezy, 75-minute bit that showcases the talents of three of St. Louis' finest performers under the watchful eye of director Annamaria Pileggi. On a simple and straightforward set designed by Courtney Sanazaro-Sloey, Pileggi's trio of players, namely Sally Eaton, Dennis Lebby and B. Weller, precisely demonstrate their craft in honing fine characterizations of three distinct personalities.
Eaton embodies the fierce independence of Daisy as well as her obstinacy and snippets of prejudice that reveal themselves in conversations with her son as well as Hoke. Importantly, though, she's able to reveal Daisy's innate decency as we see Atlanta move from the Jim Crow era into the Civil Rights period and the subsequent regeneration of the city.
Lebby has portrayed Hoke in four different productions and continues to shape the character with nuances and inflections that show Hoke's perspective on America in the mid-20th century. He's as capable delivering a line with deadpan comic timing as he is depicting Hoke's quiet but firm anger at the injustices endured by blacks for the greater part of his life. Weller rounds out the portrayals with a well-modulated interpretation of Boolie that shows his compassion as well as his trepidation at being identified too closely to the Civil Rights movement lest his business suffer.
In many ways, "Driving Miss Daisy" is a small show, a series of vignettes that gradually reveal the growth of a nation through the development of the relationship between two individuals. It's not so much a work filled with dramatic ebbs and flows as a steady ride aboard the train of social change. The sound design by Joseph Pini keeps us posted on the various eras through a judicious selection of pop tunes of the day, while Jane Sullivan's costumes (and the subtle graying of Weller's hair) suitably indicate the time and place, complemented by Ian Stoutenburgh's lighting and Peggy Knock's properties.
Watching "Driving Miss Daisy" is a lot like a visit with familiar old friends, made all the more agreeable by stellar acting in Pileggi's affecting treatment.
Rating: A 4 on a scale of 1-to-5

parametric equations
Hi Everyone:
I have two parameters,x==3 t, and y ==9t^2. I plot them and get my
Then I get my rectangular equation, i.e, y==x^2.
Now I parametrize the rectangular equation ,y==x^2 and I get completely
different parametric equations. Both plot the same graph. However,when I plug
in values for t, in the first case,that is,t=Table[{t,{3 t, 9 t^2},{t,4/3}] I
get x=4 and y =16.
On the other hand when I do the same operation with the parametrized equation,
t=Table[{t,{-1 + t, (-1 + t)^2, {t,4/3}] I get x=0, y=0. I used this very
simple example because that how I discovered that my parametrization of
complicated equations was not giving me the same results as the original
parameters- even thought the graphs coincided. What am I doing wrong?

"Discover A Way To Get
...If you have seen a travel club or timeshare presentatiion and didn't purchase
Wed 3:43pm
Dear Fellow Traveler,

We had a "Brain Storm"
We decided to "bypass" our retail distributors and offer our
membership directly to the public. By doing so, we could eliminate
all the mark up that the distributors have to put in the membership price.
Retailers have huge overhead
A retail distributor has to contend with marketing costs that exceed $300 per couple that come in for a presentation. It takes 4 to 5 couples to gain one sale. So 5 couples times $300 per couple equals $1500 in marketing cost per sale. In addition, they have about 25% in sales commissions they have to pay out to their sales staff and management team. With a $4,000-$5000 averarge sale, that means they are paying out $1000-$1250 just in sales commissions.
It goes on with product costs, office rent, admin staff cost, monthly utilities etc...
This is huge savings...
We are able to offer to offer you the same Luxury Resort access of people that purchased $5000-$7000 travel club memberships

The people of Utah have no use for a criminal justice system that cannot admit when it has made a mistake.
And the evidence is strong that our system made a very serious error indeed in locking Debra Brown away from her three children for 17 years for a crime that, according to the only neutral official to have recently examined the evidence, she did not commit.
It speaks well of our state that the Legislature has passed, and a judge has invoked, a law that recognizes that police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges and juries are human and capable of error. The 2008 law allows those convicted of serious crimes to seek reversal of their convictions, based not on much-decried "legal technicalities" such as jury instructions, incompetent counsel or Miranda warnings, but actual hard evidence that they really did not commit the crime.
What now appears to have been no more than circumstantial evidence proved enough for a jury to convict Debra Brown of murdering her friend, former employer (but no relation), Lael Brown, in Logan in 1993.
After reviewing the evidence, including new-found testimony by witnesses who saw Lael Brown alive when prosecutors originally alleged he must have been dead, 2nd District Judge Michael DiReda ordered Debra Brown released. She walked out of the Utah State Prison Monday afternoon.
Innocence is no technicality.
The statute does not allow prisoners to demand a new trial based on a rehash of old information or the hiring of a more silver-tongued attorney. It demands the introduction of real evidence that was not known at the time of trial.
To win their freedom, those who invoke this law must convince a judge that they are "factually innocent." That is a heavy burden for a defendant to bear. It is more imposing than the original trial, when the presumption of innocence supposedly cloaks the defendant, and prosecutors must prove their case "beyond reasonable doubt."
It is sad, but not surprising, that the Logan Police Department, author of this wrongful conviction, meekly says only that it stands by its original investigation, and that Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff only tweets his admission that the ruling is not worth appealing, hoping not to be associated with this sad case at all.
Those who supposedly stand for law and order in Utah are right to shrink from the spotlight today. But Brown's supporters, including her three now-grown children, her attorneys, and the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, may rightly celebrate this reversal of fortune.
