Huntington Mayor Enacts Spending, Hiring Freeze
(Huntington, WV) -- A hiring and spending freeze is in place in Huntington. Mayor Steve Williams announced the freeze late last week, the second year in a row he has done so to work on the city budget. The "Herald Dispatch" reports the contingency fund has $2.5 million in it, but most has been budgeted for.

New Brunswick -8 Newfoundland & Labrador -1
Round Robin
by Dwight Anderson
Newfoundland & Labrador took to the ice in their second game of the day against New Brunswick. NB beat the NL squad by a score of 4-2 at last year's Nationals. The NL squad looked strong in the early going but a persistent NB team scored the first goal 12 minutes into the game. Sara Mattheson skated over the blue line and wrested a shot top corner, catching the NL goal tender (Jagoe) by surprise.
The NB goal appeared to knock the steam out of the NL team. NB dominated the remainder of the first period. Robin Thompson stick handled through a maze of NL players and the goal tender to make it 2-0. Chelsea Gilbert assisted on Thompson's goal. It was late in the first when Abby Barton skated behind the NL net and made a quick pass to Sara Mattheson standing alone in the slot. Mattheson made no mistake, picking the top corner, giving NB a 3-0 lead going into the second period.
NB pressured early in the second but Mallory Jagoe made several spectacular saves. Jagoe's performance seemed to give her team some momentum. NL started to take the play to NB. It looked like they might make a game of it until NB jumped on a turnover and broke out on a 2 on 1 midway into the second. Sara O'Toole rushed up the side; hesitated, then made the perfect pass to Stephanie Roy who slipped the puck past Jagoe.
Roy's goal was the turning point in the game. NB dominated the second period and most of the third. A point shot from Sarah Sollow's 15 minutes into the second found it's way in the net for a 5-0 lead. Chantal Jaillet assisted on Sollow's goal. NB made it 6-0 late in the second when Sara Matheson banged in a rebound from a point shot by Chantal Jaillet. Ashley Duguay also assisted on Matheson's goal.
NL kept the NB machine off the scoreboard for most of the third. There were times when NL carried the play but were unable to beat Emily Hobbs. Hobb's was solid in goal for NB. NB made it 7-0 15 minutes into the third when Sara O'Toole stepped out of the penalty box and received a pass from Robin Thompson. O'Toole broke in alone. Jagoe stoned her with a spectacular save but Thompson was there to bang in the rebound.
NL finally beat Hobbs late in the third when Lesley Ann Mitchell broke in along the boards and made a crisp pass to Nancy Wadden in the slot. Wadden found the twine; breaking Hobb's bid for a shut-out.
NB finished icing the cake with two minutes to play. NL was setting up their power play in the NB zone. Abby Barton read the play, intercepted a pass, took off on a break-away and went top shelf for a 8-1 NB victory.
Sara Mattheson with the hat trick was named Player of the Game for New Brunswick. Despite letting in 8 goals; Mallory Jagoe made countless difficult saves look easy. Jagoe was awarded Player of the Game for Newfoundland & Labrador.

It appears this is a real letter* sent to a wanna-be customer from Cash4Gold.com. A friend sent me the photo of the framed letter, on C4G letterhead (see transcription below the photo):
I know that's difficult to read, so I transcribed it for you:
Dear Mr. Haberny,
After sending back your zip lock bag of gold painted rocks that you considered "14 karat gold nuggets found on a soul searching pilgrimage in Tibet with a quadriplegic hooker you picked up in Singapore", we find it is truly unfortunate that you can not understand the concept of "Do Not Contact Us Again"
Your fraudulent attempt to extort money from our seasoned geologists (who are experts in identifying precious metals) has forced us to take extreme action; this is your final warning before we contact the authorities. Your "rocks" have shown up in our inventory three times now. We will no longer attempt to return them, but will keep them as evidence. You are not entitled to any money, especially the ludicrous amount of $1,423,061.92 you demanded for your Cash 4 Gold payment. Your petition for an "ungreased, backdoor; Hammertime lovemaking session" with our telemarketer's Carol and Tracy is feral and preposterous. Your absurd request to be reimbursed for postage ($167.45, $138.33 & $142.73) is unwarranted and completely illicit. As a reminder Mr. Haberny, Ed McMahon passed away June 23, 2009. It is not only disrespectful but also utterly moronic to request that he host your birthday party at McDonalds.
This is the last time that we will be in contact with you.
Jeff Aronson

* Update: Cash4Gold tells Consumerist that the letter is fake, and definitely didn't come from them.

Ethnic tooth decay 'decreasing'
Tooth decay among children from ethnic minorities has dropped substantially in recent years.
The study looked at four- and five-year-old children in Manchester with severe tooth decay.
It found that between 1989 and 1998, rates of tooth decay among south Asian children had dropped.
The study also found that the oral hygiene in white children had improved three fold since 1989, while black-Caribbean children were "significantly more likely" to have no decay compared with white children.
'Winning the battle'
Professor Raman Bedi, director of the National Centre for Transcultural Oral Health at the Eastman Dental Institute, said the findings showed that dentists had been successful in tackling decay.
"Oral health in Britain has been and still is improving, but over the past decade we have been concerned about the inequalities between the affluent and deprived groups in our society.
"The inequality is most evident in the primary teeth of very young children.
"The dental profession has been working hard to meet these challenges and - although there is still a long way to go - evidence is emerging that we are winning the battle."
He said the improvements in oral hygiene among south Asian children could have important lessons for dentists.
Flouride tablets
"In minority ethnic groups like the South Asian community we have a great success story to learn from.
"This is a good basis to plan how we are going to manage people now entering the UK, such as refugees and families from Eastern Europe."
Dr Martin Tickle, consultant in dental public health with Salford and Trafford Health Authority, said the results were very encouraging.
"I think the results are a culmination of a number of things but one of the specific things we have done is to target a fluoride tablet programme at schools with the highest rates of decay.
"We have also been working hard at providing a consistent message to dentists and oral health professionals around reducing sugar levels and the early weaning of children."
The study is published in the British Dental Journal.

Steelers' Hampton might play against Patriots
Veteran nose tackle Casey Hampton could return Sunday after missing the previous three games with a shoulder injury.
Hampton is scheduled to practice Wednesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said today at his weekly news conference.
The Steelers host the New England Patriots on Sunday for a 4:15 p.m. game, and they are slowly getting healthier on defense.
Nose tackle Chris Hoke (neck), outside linebackers Jason Worilds (quad) and James Harrison and guard Doug Legursky (toe) are "status quo," Tomlin said as far as their injuries. That means Hoke and Worilds have a chance to play against the Patriots, while Harrison will miss his fourth consecutive game, and Legursky will be out for a second straight week.
Veteran wide receiver Hines Ward is questionable for Sunday after spraining his ankle in the Steelers' 32-20 win at Arizona. Tomlin sounded cautiously optimistic that Ward will be able to suit up against the Patriots.
Tomlin said Ward's "participation" this week in practice will dictate whether the 14th-year veteran plays against New England.

Watch this video from StudentAid.gov to learn about your responsibilities as a borrower and what you should consider when taking out loans for college.
Undergraduate and graduate student loans can be an important financial resource for students who need help getting through school and are willing to pay for their education with future earnings. As a result of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, beginning July, 2010, federal student loans are no longer made by private lenders under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. Instead all new federal student loans come directly from the U.S. Department of Education under the Direct Loan Program. This change does not impact the process of applying for federal loans, or the amount of federal aid that students are eligible to receive.
Students in CCU's College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) who are interested in receiving federal student aid should continue to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each school year that they wish to be considered for graduate or undergraduate student loans. Below are the detailed descriptions of different loan options available for CAGS students.
A Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan is a low-interest loan made to the undergraduate student for education-related expenses. The student must demonstrate financial need for Subsidized Stafford Loan eligibility. The federal government pays the interest on the loan while the student is enrolled at least half time (six credit hours per semester), and during a 6 month grace period following the student's separation from school. Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans have a standard repayment term of 10 years, and repayment does not begin until 6 months after graduation or dropping below half time status.
Graduate and professional degree students are no longer eligible for Subsidized Stafford loans. Loans made on or after July 1, 2012 will be Unsubsidized Stafford only.
Undergraduate students who are new Subsidized Stafford loans borrowers on or after July 1, 2013 have subsidized loan eligibility limited to 150 percent of the length of their academic program. The 150 percent limit means students in a four-year program will be eligible for subsidized student loans for an equivalent of six years, and students in a two-year program are eligible for subsidized student loans for an equivalent of three years. Students who reach this limitation could continue to receive Unsubsidized Stafford loans provided they meet all other eligibility requirements. Once borrowers reach the 150 percent limitation, eligibility for an interest subsidy also ends for all outstanding subsidized loans that were disbursed on or after July 1, 2013. At that point, interest on those previously borrowed loans would begin to accrue and would be payable in the same manner as interest on unsubsidized loans.
Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans are available for education related expenses to undergraduate and graduate students; there is no requirement to demonstrate financial need. The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan amount is determined by the amount the student can borrow based on cost of attendance and other financial aid awarded.
Unsubsidized Direct Stafford loans have the same terms as the Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan except that the student, rather than the government, pays the interest while the student is still in school. For students who choose not to pay the interest while in school, the interest will accrue and be capitalized. In other words, the interest will be added to the principal amount of the loan and that amount will also be assessed interest.
The interest rate for undergraduate Stafford loans first disbursed between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 is fixed at 4.45%. This rate applies to both Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans.
The interest rate for Stafford loans first disbursed to graduate and professional students between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 is fixed at 6.00%. This rate applies to Unsubsidized Stafford Loans only as graduate and professional students are not eligible for Subsidized Stafford Loans.
Interest rates on federal student loans are set by Congress, and are calculated using a base 10-year Treasury Note index with an add-on amount for each loan program. All Stafford Direct Loans are variable-fixed. The interest rate can change from year to year, but the rate for each new loan is fixed for the life of the loan. Please see below for a detailed table of 2017-2018 Direct Loan interest rates.
Effective for loans with a first disbursement on or after July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.
Most federal student loans have loan fees that are deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement. This means the money received will be less than the amount actually borrowed. Students are responsible for repaying the entire amount borrowed, not just the amount received.
The loan fee for Direct Stafford Loans disbursed on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017 is 1.069%.
For more detailed information about the Direct Stafford Loan programs visit the U.S. Department of Education web page for Direct Stafford Loans.
If students are eligible for a Direct Stafford loan (Subsidized or Unsubsidized), they need to complete an Entrance Counseling session. This session covers the rights and responsibilities of a Direct Stafford Loan borrower and is a federal requirement prior to obtaining the loan funds.
After you have completed the Entrance Counseling session, you will complete and sign the Master Promissory Note (MPN). Financial aid disbursements begin after the add/drop deadline of your first enrolled course of the semester. Course participation and attendance will be determined before financial aid is disbursed. For all CAGS students, any financial aid credit balance that remains after tuition and fees are covered will be refunded in week four of the first enrolled course of the semester.
Students who have previously received Stafford loan funds from CCU are not required to complete the Entrance Counseling Session. However, because all CCU student loans are now required to go through the Direct Loan program, students who have previously received Stafford loan funds must complete a new MPN.
Direct PLUS loans are low-interest loans made to the parent of a dependent undergraduate student attending at least half time (six credit hours per semester). A Direct PLUS loan is subject to credit approval. A parent may borrow up to the cost of education as determined by CCU's Director of Financial Aid, minus any other aid received. Students must complete the FAFSA to be eligible to receive a Parent PLUS loan.
The interest rate for Parent PLUS loans disbursed between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 is 7.00%. The Direct Parent PLUS loan is variable-fixed. The interest rate can change from year to year, but the rate for each new loan is fixed for the life of the loan. Direct Parent PLUS loan interest rates are set by Congress and tied to a base 10-year Treasury Note with a 4.60% add-on, calculated annually.
A Parent PLUS loan is disbursed in two equal disbursements — the first in the fall semester, and the second scheduled for the spring semester. Payments may be deferred while the student is enrolled at least half-time at CCU. Because of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, beginning July, 2010, all Parent PLUS loans come directly from the U.S. Department of Education under the Direct Loan Program. Parents can visit the U.S. Department of Education site to complete the PLUS request process.
Federal Direct PLUS loans have loan fees that are deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement. This means the money received will be less than the amount actually borrowed. Parents are responsible for repaying the entire amount borrowed, not just the amount received.
The loan fee for Direct Stafford PLUS Loans disbursed on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017 is 4.276%.
Many lending institutions offer education loans to students enrolled in a degree seeking program to assist them in meeting the costs of higher education. For those students whose eligibility for Federal Loan programs do not meet their financial needs, it may be necessary to look to Private Credit loans for additional assistance. These loan programs are credit based and some students may require a co-borrower to qualify. All freshman students are required to have a co-borrower, regardless of previous credit history. Interest rates and repayment terms vary by lender. If students chose an Alternative loan, we do recommend that they borrow conservatively.
Choosing a lender for your Alternative Loan is a personal decision and it is important students research available interest rates as well as repayment options and borrower benefits. CCU advises students to select a lender through ELMSelect. On this site we have recommended lenders based on the quality of products and services they provide to CCU students and families. You may evaluate each lender, and make a selection based on the benefits provided to you the borrower.
After you have research and chosen a lender, you will begin the loan application process. After the Alternative loan has been approved and the promissory note has been signed, CCU will certify the loan. Funds are usually disbursed within 3-5 business days, or the beginning of the semester.
When a student withdraws, ceases attending, or is administratively withdrawn during a semester, CCU is required by Federal regulation to determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance (Federal Pell, FSEOG, TEACH Grant, Federal Direct Stafford Loan, Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan) that the student earned as of the student's withdrawal date. Based on the withdrawal date, CCU determines the percentage of the payment period completed. The payment period is the total number of calendar days that a student is scheduled to complete prior to ceasing attendance. The unearned portion of the Title IV aid must be returned to the appropriate Title IV program(s).
Determining enrollment status for Return of Title IV funds
If prior to ceasing attendance, a student drops modules that have not yet started, the dropped modules will NOT be included when determining the student's payment period, however the student's eligibility for Title IV funds may need to be recalculated.
If a student drops modules that have not yet started after ceasing attendance in all courses, the dropped modules will be included in determining the student's payment period. Any adjustments to a student's enrollment status made after the student ceases attendance have no bearing on the Return of Title IV requirements.
Withdrawal date
The student's withdrawal date will be one of the following:
Withdrawal date for students enrolled in modules
Earned and Unearned Title IV financial aid
The percentage of the payment period the student attended is used to calculate the amount of the student's earned versus unearned federal aid funds.

Scam season heats up
By FAITH HUFFMAN, News-Telegram News Editor
April 18, 2008 - County residents beware -- 'tis the season of scams, and statistically, the rate at which these cons are attempted will only increase in the warmer weather months.
County residents have reported two such scams to Hopkins County sheriff's deputies, one perpetrated by telephone and promising a grant award, the other a letter con promising a vacation in the Bahamas and a mass of cash.
But such ploys are almost always attempts by the unscrupulous to bilk honest citizens of their hard earned cash, cautions Sheriff Butch Adams, who warns citizens to be wary of anyone offering unsolicited rewards for nothing.
Recently, a county resident reported to sheriff's officers that he'd received a phone call from someone claiming he'd won a grant award.
"He told the caller that he's got several cards, and named a few credit card companies off hand and asked which one did he want," Adams said Thursday.
There was a catch, of course. In order to obtain the $10,000 grant, the caller said, the recipient was required to provide credit card and bank information.
"When he was asked about his bank, he told him it was not of his business," Adams said. "The caller hung up and he hasn't heard anything else on it since."
Adams said the call was an obvious attempt to obtain the caller's bank and credit card numbers. Fortunately, in this case, the resident was able to forestall such efforts.
Similarly, a County Road 4700 resident reported receiving a letter from "Drew International Services Inc." of North Monticello, Ark., claiming the recipient had won a $33,975 prize and four-day Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas. It sounded too good to be true, and of course, it was.
The "notification" letter stated that the offer was a "consumer reward" from a "computer ballot drawing" from which the County Road 4700 resident's name had been selected. The letter included an "assistance check" for $3,975 "for processing fees." The remaining $30,000 was to be sent at a later time after the assistance check was "cashed" and the amount sent for the fees.
This, too, was ruled a scam and an attempt to obtain the recipient's information in order to access his bank account.
The letter also listed a phone number to contact one woman regarding further details, but it was signed by another woman who claimed to be the director of public relations for the Arkansas company.
Adams said this, too, turned out to be a false claim and an attempt to obtain the recipient's bank information so as to take money from his account.
He also warns residents to be wary of anyone offering to do asphalt work on their property, such as repaving a driveway. Scammers will often quote one amount for the job, then claim the charge was considerably more than originally agreed upon.
Adams said that while the sheriff's office has yet to receive any complaints this spring of asphalt scams, they typically do, and he wants to remind people ahead of time to be leery.
If agreeing to an offer to do asphalt work, officers recommend checking out the person's prior work through references, agreeing on a total fee (a written. signed document helps) and sticking to it.
As a general rule, residents should remember that generally "you don't get something for nothing," especially when it comes to big ticket items or monetary rewards. Be cautious, even skeptical, of such offers. When in doubt, get contact information and check a business out, or callarea law enforcement agencies and let officers check into potential scams.
And above all, don't give out personal information to unsolicited callers, persons or businesses. Doing so can be very costly.

The choices are endless, but Panasonic's G10 series of plasma HDTVs hits the mark in every respect. Not only do the sets consume less power than previous 1080p plasma TVs and score high in black-level performance, but the G10 line is THX-certified. That means movie-image reproduction on every G10 is exactly the way the filmmaker intended, giving viewers the ultimate cinema-like experience. Another notable feature is Viera Cast, which lets you access online content like YouTube, Picasa and Amazon's VOD service through your TV. Question is, Does it make popcorn?

Emotional Testimony At Manslaughter Trial
(13WHAM)Rochester, N.Y. - An eyewitness who saw an SUV careen across a playground and strike two children offered emotional testimony Tuesday about what he saw.
"I was telling the kids to get out of the way. It was too late," said Julius Lawson. Two children were injured in the crash on May 9, 2011. One of them, 7-year-old Sahmir Williams died.
Prosecutors say the man behind the wheel, James Bradley, was high on marijuana and should not have been driving because he also suffered from seizures. He suffered two seizures in the week before the incident but did not contact his doctor, said prosecutor Perry Duckles.
Bradley is charged with Manslaughter and assault. The trial is expected to last two weeks.

Alrighty then! Let's get crankin' so to speak... A Van DeGraff generator, pictured below SOON, is a wonderful tool to demonstrate the properties of static electricity while introducing Coulomb's Laws and such. Here, for your edification and viewing pleasure, is a plethora of VDG Demos.
DO NOT attempt these things for the first time in front of your students! There is nothing that will ruin a lesson quicker than doing something wrong, getting a big unexpected ZAP, and have your kids watch you writhing on the floor gasping for air... That's bad.
: In a darkened room, just turn it on and watch the parks! This is the most demonstrative way of showing the power of a spark. Introduce the numbers. It takes a potential of 50,000 Volts PER INCH for a spark to be generated in air. On a good dry day, you can get 5 inch sparks! Blue, purple, white!
Flying Pie Plates
: Place several aluminum pie plates
face down
on top of the VDG dome and turn on. They fly off one by one! If you're lucky, you can even make one or more "levitate" for a few seconds before flinging into the air. Why? Repulsion since they are both picking up the same charge.
Flying Peanuts
: Secure one pie plate on top of the dome with a SMALL amount of tape. Place in a handful of packing "peanuts". Turn on. The packing peanuts levitate momentarily then fly off like popping corn.
Light a Fluorescent Bulb
: While on, hold a fluorescent bulb by the middle near the globe, pointing it like a...well, pointer. It will light from the point closest the dome to your hand!
Side note
: If you do this with little kids, you know, ankle biters, have a kid who is wearing those annoying shoes that light up when they walk touch the dome and switch on. The little shoes light up!
Blowing Bubbles
: While the dome is charged and the VDG is running, blow bubbles at the dome. I use a battery powered bubble gun from WalMart since I have no coordination and a constant stream of bubbles is most effective. The bubbles will approach the dome and then be suddenly rejected and fly off away from the dome! This is a good demo for changing by induction.
Floating Toupe
: Obtain the typical cat or rabbit fur clump from any science supply house. Place it on the dome and switch on. The hair piece does a little dance as it becomes hugely negatively charged and tries to get away. As the edges rise, it creates a PD and sparks and falls back down.
Chain of Death
CAUTION! DO NOT attempt this with anyone who has heart conditions or wearing electronic medical supplies like insulin injectors. The large shock CAN offset these things.
With the VDG off and discharged, have one kid place and KEEP his hand on top of the dome. Then create a "daisy chain" of kids around the room by holding hands. Make sure no kid is near a grounding devise like an outlet or faucet. Crank up the VDG. After a minute or two, have the last kid in line touch a water faucet or the chalkboard. ZAP! The entire line gets discharges into the pipes and many of the kids at the end of the line will get a tremendous jolt.
Screen Shielding
: This one is GREAT! Get a large ALUMINUM screening roll from Home Depot or Loews. Large enough to make a screen "bag" that can fit over your upper body. This can be done by just sewing or even stapling the edges of two sides of a folded over sheet of screen. CAUTION: Don't be stupid or cheap and get the nylon screening! I did... Now, place the screen "bag" over your head and shoulders and approach a charged VDG. Sparks will jump from the dome to the screen. The audience will think you are getting zapped. But you aren't! The charges spread out over the metal of the screen and no charge enters where you are! From inside, all you see are little blue sparks that LOOK like they are coming for your nose.
Stop a liquid in its proverbial tracks
: This one is freaky! Mix up a thick cornstarch and water goop in a beaker; about the consistency of Elmer's glue. Now, while the VDG is running and charged, pour a small stream from above the dome like you are going to pour it so it falls right beside the dome. Watch. Go ahead! I'll wait.... As the goop comes out of the beaker and approaches the dome, you will notice the stream actually
STOPS in midair
! The pouring stops even though you have the beaker tilted!
Why, you ask? The goop is nothing more than long chain polymers that are electro-rheostatic. Whew! Big word that simply means "electrically reactive". So, as the polymers, long chain molecules, approach the Electric Field around the dome, they align to its presence and actually solidify the stuff like grabbing a a pile of pick-up-sticks! Cool!
Coronal Discharging
: Tape a thumb tack on the dome somewhere so the point is sticking diametricaly away from the dome and the base of the tack is in full contact with the dome. The dome, although charged, is fully safe to touch WITHOUT getting shocked! Why? The tack, being a point, is where ALL the charge wants to go. As the electrons pile up at the point, they jump off to their untimely death. This constantly discharges the dome. This is why many large buildings and jetliners have those pointy things sticking out from them. They discharge any built up charge.

If you had a patient who, due to finances, would have to have her Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck done separately, which would you recommend she do first?
Breast Augmentation or Tummy Tuck First?
Doctor Answers 17
Tummy tuck first, breast augmentation second
There is no real difference which procedure is performed first, however, if I absolutely had to chose one before the other I would recommend the tummy tuck first. My opinion is based on several factors including the fact that as the abdominal skin is pulled down some of the skin near the breast fold is also pulled slightly down with it as well. This will change the exact location of your breast fold incision if done if reverse so it may be better to get the tummy tuck performed first.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Which first? TT or breast aug
Dear Jen,
I would recommend you do the procedure you most desire. Breast augmentation surgery is the easiest to recover from, get instant gratification and is less expensive. It may even encourage you to jump start a new lifestyle change to help you improve your tummy.
Best wishes,

It does not matter which procedure is performed first. Either order is acceptable.
It does not matter which procedure is performed first. Either order is acceptable. To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Tummy tuck or breast augmentation; which is first?
Dear Jen,
Medically, both surgeries could be performed at the same time. But if finances are to be considered, I encourage my patients to consider the one that is of a more urgent nature.
If both are of the same importance, then performing the tummy tuck first will enable the patient to have a better decision on the size of the breast implant.
Financially when you combine both surgeries, you will usually pay the surgical facility's fees one time, and depending on the surgeon, you may benefit from combining both surgeries for a certain discount.
Best of luck to you.

Breast augmentation or tummy tuck first
If finances are an issue, you may want to hold out to do both at the same time. The facility fee will only be paid once, and doing both together many surgeons offer a discount for the second procedure. Good luck.
Breast Aug or Tummy Tuck First?
I do not think that it will matter which is done first, in terms of long term aesthetics, safety, or end results. I would suggest choosing the procedure that you would want to have done if you could only do one procedure. That should give you an idea of which you think is more important.
Which order?
It is clearly your decision-however most patients feel that breast augmentation is an "easier recovery". Both procedures have their own issues and recovery milestones, but in general a breast augmentation is less invasive and as such perceive less discomfort. Therefore, you may opt for the procedure that gives you less discomfort as your first choice.
Staging breast augmentation and tummy tuck
Breast Augmentation or Tummy Tuck
Choosing to have a breast augmentation or tummy tuck first will be something that you as the patient should decide. I recommend to improve what you are more concerned about first and then later do the other. The tummy tuck is a more involved surgery and requires a longer recovery where as breast augmentation surgery tends to be quicker. Consult with your plastic surgeon and decide from there.

According to the Saturday edition of the Chicago Tribune, Williams already has undergone one operation at Illinois Masonic Hospital and is listed in intensive care with injuries to his leg and pelvic bone. The newspaper said Williams is conscious and will need several more surgeries.
"The last thing on our minds right now is basketball and the foremost thought on our minds is that of Jay's health," Bulls general manager John Paxson said in a statement Friday.
"We respect the privacy of the family and as time goes on, we will be waiting for the family and doctors to report to us on Jay's status."
Williams was riding a new Yamaha sportbike that he purchased last week when it slammed into a pole late Thursday afternoon on the north side of Chicago. The impact broke one of his legs, and a witness said she saw Williams laying about 10 feet from where his bike came to rest.
Teammate Marcus Fizer said he warned Williams of the potential dangers of riding a motorcycle.
"I told him before, that may not be something that you want to do in your career at this time. Any number of things can happen to you," Fizer said Friday. "I tell all these young guys who like to ride motorcycles that. A lot of them still do it, though."
After the crash, Williams was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he underwent at least one surgery. A spokeswoman at the hospital referred all inquiries to the Bulls.
Paxson and coach Bill Cartwright visited Williams on Friday. Neither returned messages left by the AP.
"I'm not worried about the team or what this does for our future," Cartwright told the Chicago Tribune. "I'm just worried about the severity of his injury for his career. We just have to wait and see. Our thoughts are with him."
Chicago Police spokesman Wayne Frisbie said officers have been unable to interview Williams because the hospital is denying them access to him.
Williams was the No. 2 pick last June out of Duke, where he was the AP college player of the year in 2002 and a two-time All-American. He averaged 9.5 points last season, and was a second-team All-Rookie selection.
Great things were expected of Williams, who was believed to be the most NBA-ready of all the draft picks. He backed that up early in the season, recording his first career triple-double with 26 points, 13 assists and 14 rebounds on Nov. 11 against the New Jersey Nets.
It was the first triple-double by a Bulls player since Michael Jordan in April 1997.
But Williams struggled much of the season, eventually losing his starting spot to Jamal Crawford. Williams finished strong, though, shooting better than 60% from the field in six of his last seven games when he was paired with Crawford in the backcourt, and he vowed to build on that momentum in his second season.
Fizer said players were more concerned about Williams regaining his health than they were with him returning to the court.
"Any time a teammate is in a serious accident like this one, you just hope and pray that he's going to be able to get healthy and back to full strength first," Fizer said. "We can't worry about basketball right now."

State asks High Court to delay Ulpana demolition (JERUSALEM POST) By TOVAH LAZAROFF, JPOST.COM STAFF 04/27/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=267752
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The State Attorney´s Office on Friday submitted to the High Court of Justice an appeal to delay the scheduled demolition of the Ulpana outpost by three months.
The state is requesting a new discussion of the petition which led the High Court to order the evacuation of the 30 homes in the West Bank outpost by May 1 because they were built on land classified as private Palestinian property.
The government had originally promised the court that it would bulldoze the homes, but in the appeal submitted Friday, the state requested that it be given 90 days to resubmit its position, and that the demolition of the outpost be frozen, pending this action.
Human rights organization Yesh Din, who helped the Palestinian claimants submit the petition against the outpost in 2008, slammed the government for failing to raze the five stone apartment buildings in which 30 families live as it had promised.
Yesh Din legal consultant Michael Sfard said Friday that the government of Israel had declared war on the rule of law and the court. He added that no private citizen would be allowed to reopen a case which had been ruled on and the state´s request to delay the demolition of Ulpana breaks all the rules and laws of the game.
"In order to help settlers steal Palestinian lands, the government is ready to crush the basic principles upon which Israeli society is based," Sfard stated.
Vice Premier Silvan Shalom visited the neighborhood located on the outskirts of the Beit El settlement on Friday, speaking with local residents. Shalom stated that he hoped a legal solution could be found that would allow Ulpana residents to remain in their homes, but barring this, legislation could be passed legalizing the outpost.
In the past year, right-wing politicians and residents of Ulpana have lobbied the government to legalize the homes.
Under Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, the government initiated a policy to demolish unauthorized Jewish homes on private Palestinians property.
Ulpana residents have argued that the Beit El Yeshiva and Amana the construction arm of the settlement movement bought the land from Palestinian landowners. They received state-guaranteed mortgages and grants to buy it.
The government and the High Court do not recognize the legality of the sale.
In 2008, the Palestinian claimants petitioned the court against the outpost. In response, the state said it would raze the five stone apartment buildings in which 30 families live.
Still, earlier this month, Netanyahu said that he would work to find a solution to avoid the demolition.
Since the demolition was scheduled by the state and not demanded by the court, the government has some flexibility in this matter. But the court must accept its request.
The matter needs to be dealt with, Netanyahu said in an interview with Army Radio on Tuesday. He said that although the situation was legally complex, there were alternative solutions to the property dispute.
The prime minister added that it was important to work within the legal system.
Earlier this week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that if there was no way to retroactively legalize the homes, the state could build new homes for the Ulpana families on a 22- dunam (2.2-hectare) tract of land elsewhere in Beit El. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 04/27/12)

Unpaid plumbing inspector threatens to sue Monessen
Buzzy Byron threatened to sue Monessen, questioning the hiring of a plumbing inspector.
During its business meeting Wednesday, council accepted the resignation of Angelo Loulis and hired Glen Godla of Charleroi, both effective July 1.
But Byron, a city business owner, said he and Loulis were the inspectors. Byron claimed the two made an agreement under which Loulis would receive the $1,500 annual salary, even though the two split the work.
Byron claimed he performed the majority of inspections.
"I'm the other inspector," Byron said. "I've never drawn a penny."
Councilman Josh Retos voted against the hiring.
"I didn't know this was an issue until today," Retos said. "I did not know Angelo resigned until today. I thought we had an inspector.
"Why go outside Monessen to hire a certified plumbing inspector? Monessen has plenty of certified plumbing inspectors."
Byron told Monessen Mayor Mary Jo Smith, "the city will hear from my attorney."
After the meeting, Byron said he intends to sue Smith, City Administrator John Harhai and all council members, except Retos. Byron said he believed he was next in line for the paid plumbing inspector position when Loulis resigned.
Byron was an unpaid inspector, as is permitted under city code.
Taxes, fees due
Meanwhile, Councilwoman Lucille D'Alfonso said there are still more than $300,000 in uncollected taxes and fees.
D'Alfonso, director of accounts and finance, said there are $147,000 in outstanding garbage collection fees. Nine residents have yet to pay their sewer maintenance fees, and 482 property owners have not submitted tenant lists.
"When you take all of these into account, that's quite a bit of revenue not where it needs to be," D'Alfonso said.
Treasurer Gerald Saksun said the city has collected 92 percent of budgeted tax revenue and 99 percent of garbage fees.
In other business, Councilman William Manus said the Ninth Street drainage project has been placed on hold while the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigates an accident at the project site.
Dane Mornak of Rostraver Township-based Mornak Excavation was injured after a portion of a wall fell on his foot.
"I want citizens to know we're not dragging our feet," Manus said.
Leonard Billy, city streets department superintendent, said the section of roadway likely will reopen in the spring. He said that because of the 28-foot depth of the project work, the ground must settle before the road is reopened.
Project advances
Council agreed to proceed with the city park amphitheater project. Retos opposed the action, without explanation.
The city received a $250,000 grant for the project from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which it matched with Community Development Block Grant money.
A roof will be constructed over the amphitheater. The walkways will be improved and seating will be constructed.
In other business, council:
• Promoted police officers Patrick A. Schmidt II and Christopher Gray to full-time status.
• Hired Joseph DiMascio as night watchman at the city municipal complex.
• Learned the Mon Valley Sewage authority discontinued its suit against the city after council amended an ordinance allowing the authority to build a an overflow tank.

A new addition to the Albrightsville Fire Company near Hickory Run is virtually completed.
A multi-layer, epoxy floor is being added to the garage area. The floor is the final stage of the project, said Fire Chief Bruce Berger.
The chief said the project had its groundbreaking in October 2010.
Last week, apparatus was removed from the garage of the fire station so the floor could be constructed.
Volunteers camped out overnight at the fire station while the apparatus was parked outside and the fire house garage doors were left open so the epoxy finish could cure.
The new floor is painted blue and orange, the color of the apparatus.
Berger said the floor is being constructed by Criterian Floor of Maryland.
The expansion project was made possible with a $200,000 state grant obtained from the Pa. Department of Community and Economic Development.
The work included a 64-by-50 foot addition onto the truck garage.
This addition added more bays, offices, a small recreation room for the firefighters, and some much needed space.
Berger said the fire company currently has a roster of 34 men and women volunteer fire fighters.

Just in time for giving thanks! A parade of oh-so-lovely samba dancers in colorful barely-there costumes strutted along Universal CityWalk with a cadre of ultra-handsome drummers following. They were there for the big debut of the Samba Brazilian Steakhouse and Lounge. The yummy and exciting Samba spot has been added to the variety of restaurants at the Universal complex, known as "the Entertainment capital of L.A."
The opening activities also included a Brazilian martial artist called a Capoeirista, who went for the world record for a high kick—and nailed it. Then, the CityWalk crowd that gathered for the festivities was welcomed and invited to enter Samba and enjoy the authentic Brazilian churrascaria and more entertainment. Now customers can indulge in feasts of skewered meats and enjoy free nightly entertainment. Yes, Samba dancers, in full festive regalia, are there every night, and the steakhouse and lounge feature lively Brazilian and Latino music, plus a well-stocked Caipirinha, cocktail bar with popular rum drinks. The party has just gotten started at Samba.
Not-to-be-Missed Holiday Concerts
'Tis the season to lift your spirits, so let me put the spotlight on two feel-good concerts that are sure to make the season bright.
For one night only, the "Vox Femina Holiday Voices" concert is being presented Saturday, Dec. 12 at 8pm at the First Congregational Church in Pasadena.
It's a unique treat because for the first time ever, the internationally known Vox Femina is offering a holiday concert but it's far from the typical holiday fare.

Oncoming Train Kills Dowling Student
by Tina Razzano
Dowling College lost a student from its Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) this past summer, just a little over a month after after the program of college preparatory classes had begun. Isaiah Stanton, a 17-year-old Bay Shore native slated to join the men's basketball team at Dowling, was killed July 14, 2004 when he was struck by an oncoming westbound train at the Oakdale station of the Long Island Rail Road.
Stanton and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Esmerelda Santiago, also from Bay Shore and an HEOP student at Dowling, had planned to take the train home in order to pick up some belongings before returning to the Oakdale residence halls. After realizing they were at the wrong platform for the westbound train, Stanton was struck by the train around 9:30 p.m. while trying to get from the south platform to the north platform by crossing over the tracks. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Santiago was taken to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore that night for psychiatric treatment.
A 6′3″ star basketball player in high school, Stanton was voted most valuable player his junior year, and was team captain his senior year. Stanton also excelled off the court. He was a motivated student who knew when it was time to focus on his studies. Many described him as "a great kid" and "all-around good guy." Stanton's goal was to study hard, make the dean's list and to become a social worker.
"He was very likable and had a personality that everyone gravitated toward," said Ken Parham, varsity basketball coach at Bay Shore High School. Stanton's death is not the first tragedy to affect his family. Just one year ago his mother died of a heart attack after a long battle with diabetes, leaving him to live with his older brother who became his guardian.
Stanton is survived by his brother, Tyrone Stanton, 23.

Nottinghamshire duo Sam Wood and Brett Hutton have been included in the 15-man England squad for the ICC Under 19s World Cup.
There's no place for Sam Kelsall though despite his presence in recent age group internationals.
England will begin with a game against hosts Australia in Townsville on 11th August before playing Ireland and Nepal in the other group stage matches. If England progress in the competition they could then go on to face one of twelve other countries in the latter stages competing in the U19 World Cup.
The squad was selected by the England Development Programme selectors including David Graveney (EDP Head Selector), Tim Boon (Head Coach), John Abrahams and Iain Brunnschweiler
EDP Head Selector David Graveney said: "The squad we have put together contains strength in depth and some exciting young talent which we look forward to seeing perform on the world stage in Australia. It was difficult to reduce the squad from our original 30 names to just 15, but we feel we have a good mix of batting and bowling with strong names in reserve in case of any injuries."
EDP Head Coach Tim Boon said: "The squad contains a great blend of players with first-class experience and those with less experience. We've got some great games to look forward to against top class opposition at such a prestigious tournament. We're looking to giving them an opportunity to impress at this level and hope will we compete strongly throughout the competition."
England Under-19 squad: Adam Ball (Captain, Kent), Ben Foakes (Essex), Shozair Ali (Warwickshire), Daniel Bell-Drummond (Kent), Ben Collings (Leicestershire), Alex Davies (Lancashire), Ben Duckett (Northamptonshire), Brett Hutton (Nottinghamshire), Aneesh Kapil (Worcestershire), Tom Knight (Derbyshire), Craig Overton (Somerset and Devon), Jamie Overton (Somerset and Devon), Reece Topley (Essex), Kishan Velani (Essex), Sam Wood (Nottinghamshire)

(CNSNews.com) - IRS Commissioner John Koskinen refused to apologize for IRS misbehavior when he went before Congress, but he did apologize Thursday afternoon when he went on CNN's "Situation Room" to project a more accommodating attitude.
"As I said when I began, the improper criteria used to highlight organizations for investigation just by their name was a mistake. I apologize to anybody who had their applications held up needlessly," Koskinen told Wolf Blitzer.
"Everybody needs to be confident that the IRS is going to treat them fairly, no matter who they are: Republicans, Democrats, whatever organization they belong to. It's a serious matter."
Even some liberals described Koskinen as being "arrogant" in his recent appearances before the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. But he tried to be more sympathetic on Thursday.
Not only did Koskinen apologize and agree that the IRS targeting of conservatives is a serious matter, he also agreed that Lois Lerner's hard drive crashing ten days after Congress requested her emails doesn't look good.
"It is suspicious," he admitted, but he also added that not all of Lerner's emails have been lost. The IRS has been able to find about 24,000 emails from the 2009-2011 period, but an untold number -- to agencies outside the IRS -- may never be found.
Koskinen said the inspector-general "is investigating all of the issues about the hard drive crash. My approach, when I parachute into these things, is to try to fix the problems rather than try to figure out how to blame."
Asked if he should ask a special prosecutor or the FBI to conduct a criminal probe, Koskinen didn't budge: "I think the appropriate way to proceed is let's see what the I.G. finds out."
He noted that in addition to the IG investigation, six others are under way: "Listen, nothing has stopped this Congress from subpoenaing records, interviewing people. They are -- they're not doing anything more than a special prosecutor would.
"I've said before, if the six investigations on the Hill and the Justice Department and the I.G. can't find things out, it'll be surprising to me. And it would be...a significant waste of taxpayer dollars. We need to get to the bottom of this. We need to get information out. It's a serious question."
Koskinen said he has "cooperated with everybody," although congressional Republicans disagree. They have faulted him for not telling Congress about Lerner's missing emails as soon as he learned about them. The Treasury Department and the White House knew about Lerner's hard drive crash at least six weeks before congressional investigators found out.
Koskinen repeated what he told Congress, that he's seen no evidence of criminal conduct. "And in fact, if Ms. Lerner were destroying emails, she wouldn't have kept making them, all of the emails you've read in public that the House committees have been putting out were all emails she wrote that we provided."
He said nobody has turned up any email so far indicating that anyone outside the IRS was involved in the targeting of conservatives.
Blitzer noted that Koskinen is a Democrat who has donated to Democratic causes and candidates, including President Obama. "Reassure the American people that you're not going to let your partisanship interfere with this investigation," Blitzer told him.
"I've never been a partisan operative or a political operative. I was actually asked by the Bush administration to come in and work on Freddie Mac.
"I've contributed to campaigns for the last 40 or 50 years, many of them friends. I, at this point in my career, it's not my intention at all to play games with the Congress. My goal is to help restore people's faith in a critical institution for the country, the IRS.
"As I said, people need to feel comfortable that it's not a politicized agency, that it treats people fairly, no matter who they are."
Koskinen said his job "has been perhaps more interesting" than he anticipated: "I kid that I should have read the fine print of the contract more closely," he joked. And even with what he's been through, he said he'd do it all over again:
"If you believe in public service, this agency is critical. It collects most of the money the government spends, and it touches virtually every America and every taxpayer. And I think if you believe in public service, the opportunity to try to help it through this time, to restore the faith of the public that it is, in fact, non-political, that its job is simply tax administration, was too important an opportunity to pass up."

AT the junction, turn right … and brace yourself for a bumpy ride.
Residents in a tiny village are blaming a sat-nav 'short cut' for sending truck drivers and other motorists down an ancient dirt-track and to a shuddering halt on the hills above Oldham.
Some manage to make it to the other side but are left counting the cost after the treacherous track, which is narrow, muddy, often rocky and unsuitable for most ordinary cars, has battered their vehicles.
Others have been left in tears after becoming stranded in the desolate spot where it is difficult to turn a car around. And some have had to be dragged out by a tractor. Each has the same excuse – they were following directions from their satellite navigation systems.
The sat-navs are apparently directing drivers down the track as a moorland shortcut to the A62.
Now those who live near to Hey Flake Lane in Delph are demanding Oldham council act now to stop more motorist misery.
They want signs placed at the entrance to the dirt-track warning of the dangers and telling motorists to ignore their sat-navs.
Residents and local councillors also say the impact on the path is causing underground water pipes culverts to break and is making conditions increasingly hazardous for walkers, cyclists and horses.
Michael and Minda Wigley live on a nearby farm.
They have had knocks on their door from stranded motorists pleading for help. Minda said: "It can be a very, very lonely place," said Minda. "We have had van drivers reduced to tears. Once you've gone half way down nobody can see you. And if the weather closes in – as it does up here – you're in a mess. The mobile phone signal here is temperamental so you could be stranded."
Michael said: "It is mainly delivery drivers who are not from the area. And they all say their sat-navs have sent them down there.
"We've towed some people out, but the numbers seem to have rocketed over the last few weeks."
Parish councillor Ken Hulme, said: "Currently only the most robust four-wheel-drive vehicles and tractors can successfully navigate the lane.
"Frankly I am worried about the damage these vehicles are doing to this ancient track – let alone all the stranded transit vans."
Cllr Mike Buckley, chairman of the Saddleworth Historical Society, said the path dated back to the Middle Ages.
He said: "It's one of the oldest routes in the district which leads to what was once a monastic grange.
"It's part of a network which links Saddleworth with Rochdale from the days when people didn't have sat navs!"
A spokesman for Oldham Council said the authority has now agreed to install a warning sign advising motorists that Hey Flake Lane is not suitable for motor vehicles, a move which has been welcomed by Cllr Hulme.
A spokesperson for sat-nav firm TomTom said that it may be a case of the road classification being wrong.
She added: "TomTom takes mapping very seriously and we offer a map improvement facility as part of our product."

Reaves scores twice, backs Elliott in Blues' win
ST. LOUIS – Ryan Reaves still prefers pounding opponents to scoring goals.
The St. Louis enforcer recorded his first two-goal game in the NHL, and Brian Elliott earned his league-leading 10th win in April to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
St. Louis, which has won five of six, moved into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Blues have 58 points, one ahead of Los Angeles and San Jose. They can clinch the No. 4 seed and home ice in the opening round of the playoffs with a victory over Chicago on Saturday.
Los Angeles and San Jose will meet Saturday in the final regular-season game for both teams.
The Blues have won a season-high five straight home games.
Calgary, which will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year, has won five of eight but will end the season Friday at Chicago.
Reaves scored the first and last goals for the Blues on Thursday. He has nine goals in 130 NHL games, including a career-best four this season.
All he wanted to talk about after the game was his one-sided third-period beating of Tim Jackman, who initiated the fight.
"I always enjoy the fisticuffs (more)," Reaves said. "Especially when a guy jumps me and he ends up like that."
Reeves, who has a team-high eight fights this season, has three goals in four games. He scored in the first period from close range off a pass from Adam Cracknell. His third-period goal was also a case of being in the right place at the right time.
"I don't know what he had for pregame, but I wish I had some of that," Cracknell said. "He was something."
Elliott said it was nice to see Reaves' goal-scoring celebration rather that his usual hands-in-air acknowledgment as he heads to the penalty box following a crowd-pleasing fight.
St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said Reaves' breakout offensive game was the result of hard work along with linemates Cracknell and Chris Porter.
"They've been doing a lot of work in the corners, and it's paying off," he said. "But I hope he doesn't think he's a goal-scorer now."
Elliott made 18 saves in improving to 10-2 in April. He has a 1.14 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage. Elliott has three shutouts in the month and has allowed only 15 goals on 282 shots.
Andy McDonald and Alexander Steen also had goals for St. Louis, which scored three times in the second period to take a 3-1 lead. It was the Blues' first three-goal period since the second period of a 6-3 win at Phoenix on March 7.
Chris Stewart and Cracknell added two assists each for the Blues, who scored more than three goals for the first time in 11 games.
McDonald put St. Louis ahead 2-1 with his seventh goal of the season midway through the second period.
Steen scored just over five minutes later off a backhand. The power-play tally came 5 seconds after Paul Byron went off for high sticking.
Calgary tied it 1-1 on a goal by Sven Baertschi at 7:58 of the second period. Baertschi took a cross-ice pass from Jiri Hudler and beat Elliott, who came out of the net and surrendered the puck with an ill-advised pass off the boards.
"The communication wasn't there," Elliott said. "But I knew the way we were playing that we were going to come out on top."
Baertschi has a seven-game point streak.
"I thought we came back and showed some fight," Baertschi said. "Just not enough."
Calgary is 1-2 on its season-ending, four-game trip.
"They were just much better than us," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. "They can shoot the puck. You give them a little room and they will make you pay."
Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester pushed his league-leading, consecutive-games played streak to 634 and earned an assist against his former team. The Blues are 10-3 since acquiring him from Calgary on April 1.
St. Louis has won 11 of 14 and will carry plenty of momentum into Saturday's showdown with Chicago.
"We took care of business, and now we've got one more chance to do it again," Elliott said. "You never know what can happen in the playoffs, but the higher you can get the better."
NOTES: St. Louis D Kevin Shattenkirk played in his 200th NHL game. … Calgary D Chris Butler, who hails from the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, was named to the United States Men's National Team that will play May 3-19 in the IIHF tournament in Helsinki, Finland. … St. Louis D Barret Jackman sat out because of an ankle injury sustained in the second period of Tuesday's 3-1 win over Colorado. … St. Louis G Jaroslav Halak served as the backup to Elliott after missing 12 games with a groin injury.
