Alanis Morissette has never been shy about celebrating the joys of motherhood with her fans and the '90s hit singer has shared an incredibly beautiful and intimate nude pregnancy snap of her floating weightlessly under water.
As if the picture wasn't beautiful enough, it was also captioned with an adorable quote from her 5-year-old son Ever Imre who told his mother that:
"you have to be extra gentle around ladies because they are the most helpful people in the world 'cause they make persons"
Alanis announced her pregnancy in February with an adorable homemade video that shows how she fell in love with her husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway and the growth of their family together.
Morissette is a well-know advocate of the benefits staying in touch with your body when you are pregnant and this serene photo seems to reinforce that message, the 41-year-old explained back in January that:
"Ultimately, what once served as a way to relieve unwanted pain becomes the mechanism through which we remain perpetually estranged from ourselves. And the havoc that this lack of self-intimacy and self-knowledge can create permeates every area of our life."
Alanis has also previously spoken out about how being pregnant gave her a reason to take stock of her life and alter her day-to-day pace of life so she had more time to smell the roses, she explained:
"There are so many reasons for the bliss. Not the least of which is the hormonal blasting of miracle juice that's going on with the pregnancy alone!But also, the lifestyle change has been revelatory for me. I've always been a workaholic. During the first trimester, and definitely in the third… If I were to continue to work on the ton of projects I'm doing and log that many hours a day…I just couldn't do it."

The market for starters has shrunk by one. Zack Greinke is going to the Los Angeles Angels for rookie shortstop Jean Siguera and a pair of minor league pitchers, Ariel Pena and Johnny Hellweg. And Zack the Knife, whose preferred destination was long thought to be the Atlanta Braves, isn't exactly unhappy about the move:
It should be fun. They are a great team. After the first month of the season, they have been one of the best teams in baseball. There is a lot of talent there. A lot of great players. The pitching staff will be pretty incredible.
Neither is Angels general manager Jerry DiPoto, who's seen dividends enough with the winter signings of pitcher C.J. Wilson and (after a very sluggish beginning) first baseman Albert Pujols.
It's an exciting day. We hope that this move will be not just a short-term gain, but one that's good for the organization. We're excited to see what kind of a difference he can make.
Note DiPoto's phrasing. If Greinke does help make a difference—the Angels are five behind the Rangers in the AL West, in good wild card position, but not necessarily known for liking to finish lower than first place if they can help it—"not just a short-term gain" could be code for the Angels gunning for this deal because they think they have a decent shot at signing Greinke long-term.
Greinke joins a rotation that features Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, and Wilson . . . and gives the Angels a quartet of All-Stars to wheel out every fifth day. His pending free agency, and the Brewers' slide in the National League Central after losing Prince Fielder to free agency, made him expendable.
The Brewers, for their part, didn't exactly get nothing in return. Segura was hitting .294 with seven bombs and 33 thefts at AA before his Tuesday callup to the Angels. Hellweg (all 6'9″ of him) had a 3.38 ERA in 21 AA starts; Pena, a 2.99 in 19 starts, not to mention being second in the Texas League with 111 punchouts. All three are top-ten prospects according to Baseball America, with Hellweg as the nugget ranking number four in the Angels' system entering 2012.

You may or may not agree with me, but here goes…
When it comes to content marketing, I find that many marketers are still having trouble finding the payoff. I mean, they're fully bought-in, doing lots of "stuff," but they're not getting desired results. As a result, there are some big questions that they're grappling with:
- Where's the engagement?
- Where's the traffic?
- Where are the leads?
To top it off, the C-whatever-O is turning up the heat — they, too, want to know what the hell is going on. I mean, this whole "content marketing thing" was supposed to be awesome at driving more engagement, traffic, and leads, right? So, what gives?!
This is a very common scenario with a lot of the organizations that I consult with, and it got me thinking about the common mistakes that lead to this frustration. I'd like to share my take on these "pitfalls" so that you might save yourself some angst as you steer your content marketing program. While this isn't an exhaustive list, it's a list of the five biggest mistakes marketers are making when it comes to content marketing.
5 Huge Mistakes Marketers are Making When it Comes to Content Marketing
I get it. You're doing lots of "stuff" — you're blogging, tweeting, emailing, reading, studying, testing... But, here's the thing:
It's not about how much stuff you're putting out, it's about having a strategy for how it all works together.
While this may sound obvious, most marketers have never been shown exactly how to link it all together in a way that systematically turns strangers into visitors, visitors into leads, and leads into customers. Let's fix that...
If you've read any of my other articles, you'll know that I subscribe to an inbound marketing philosophy when it comes to content marketing. The big idea with inbound marketing is that you design the "funnel" that's optimized for your organization as a framework first (more on this in a second), then you develop the content strategy around that. In this funnel, each layer's content has a different purpose that's based on the Buyer's Journey.
What is the Buyer's Journey?
Simply put, it's the context of a buyer.
The Buyer's Journey is made up of three stages:
- Awareness
- Consideration
- Decision
At the Awareness stage, buyers are in between not fully realizing they have a problem, and knowing exactly what their problem is. Think of this as "defining the problem."
At the Consideration stage, buyers are in between not fully understanding their options for solving their problem, and knowing exactly the option they are going to choose to solve their problem. Think of this as "choosing the path."
At the Decision stage, buyers are in between not fully knowing who can provide the solution to their problem, and knowing exactly who they want to provide the solution to their problem. Think of this as "choosing the provider."
Here's the big "a-ha!": each of these stages requires different types of content! And, it's your job as a content marketer to know what this content is and provide to them in the right place at the right time.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Of course, this means that you must have intimate knowledge of your ideal buyers — having documented Buyer Personas is critical. Buyer Personas help you understand who your buyers are, what situation they're in, what drives them, what frustrates them, etc.
Map this for each Buyer Persona and you have a large chunk of your content strategy complete!So, back to this idea of a "funnel"...
Now that you have your content strategy in hand, it's time to place your various content assets throughout your funnel:
While this topic of "funnels" could take up a long series of articles, let's generalize it this way for you:
- Place Awareness content near the top of the funnel.
Mostly, this type of content will live in and around your blog. For pieces that have more substance than a blog article, these could be good candidates for landing pages where you "gate" the asset, your first step in "converting" visitors into leads, drawing them into your funnel.
- Place Consideration content near the top and middle of the funnel.
Again, in and around your blog, but now you want to leverage this content in your follow-up email nurturing once leads are in your funnel. Some Consideration content can also be "merchandised" throughout the pages of your website that directly talk about you and your offering.
- Place Decision content deep in the funnel.
Your nurturing strategy should, eventually, lead people to this content as a way of continuing to educate, which showcases your expertise and differentiation. Decision content can, and should, be "merchandised" throughout the pages of your website that directly talk about you and your offering.
One of my biggest gripes about how most organizations are approaching "content marketing": their WHY is all wrong. Most organizations jump in because they hear it's a good way to "get our name in front of prospects." While this is certainly a very nice effect of content marketing, it's the wrong mindset. This mindset is no different than an advertising mindset, or what I call a "promotion mindset." That is, your mission behind the effort is to promote, to brag.
Content marketing doesn't work that way. In fact, when it's done that way, it sucks. It sucks because nobody needs more shallow content to read — the Internet's full of that stuff. What people really need is content that enriches their situation in some meaningful way. That's why you must have an "enrichment mindset" when it comes to content marketing.
An "enrichment mindset" is a service mindset. It's a mindset that asks, "If we weren't interested in extracting a dollar from our target audience and, instead, we woke up everyday to serve our target audience, what kind of content, tools, and resources would we develop?"
So, before you write one more article... before you put up one more landing page... before you send out one more email... and before you send out one more tweet... ask yourself that question.
Once you start thinking this way, formalize this passion into a "mission statement" — articulate WHY your content marketing program exists in context of THEM, not you.
As you can probably tell by now, this is a trickle-down situation. That is, no STRATEGY and no MISSION means you, likely, have no FOCUS! And a lack of focus results in content that's "all over the board."
As a result, most organizations with a lack of focus suffer from two major things:
Trying to connect with too many Buyer Personas — you know the saying, "When you try to appeal to everybody, you appeal to nobody." Ask this of yourself every time you think about targeting more Buyer Personas in your content marketing program:
Adding this Buyer Persona will require more time, money, and resources — do I have all three of these on a go-forward basis to properly serve this Buyer Persona?
If the answer is "no," then don't do it.
Unsure about what kind of content to produce — the content ends up being opinion-based "thought leadership" because that's all they've heard ("you want to be seen as a 'thought leader'."). Some "thought leadership" is fine, but most of the content in a content marketing program should provide real "takeaway value." Or, worse yet, there's content that's "promotional" in nature living in the "blog" — press releases, product announcements, etc. I'm not suggesting that this kind of content cannot live on your website, but it shouldn't live in your blog, the place that's supposed to be about giving VALUE to your readers.
Continuing this trickle-down effect, many have...
If your blog has one post per quarter or you're not on a regular schedule, you're not serious about content marketing. Success in content marketing is just like anything else in life — it's about small, consistent habits that drive results, which means you have to be on a regular schedule of producing content, promoting content, nurturing leads, and engaging on social media.
It's a lot of work. Nobody said it was easy.
Finally, the fifth mistake I often see is a lack of patience. But as I've just pointed out, it's no wonder many are not seeing results quicker based on these big mistakes. Hell, even when you do it right, it takes a solid year+ to really dial-in your program. This isn't get-rich-quick kind of stuff, guys.
Check this out... here's what happens when you stick to a plan. This graph shows our website traffic in our first year of converting from "general content marketing" to a strategic program (inbound marketing!). You'll notice that in just 12 months, our overall traffic has doubled.
You'll also notice two other things:
1. The increase was gradual — we're not doubling traffic overnight, which is not what you're looking for in a program. What you're after is consistent, steady growth. This game is more Tony Gwynn than Barry Bonds.
2. There were times when traffic dipped — yep, that's right... sometimes no matter how much TLC is given to the effort, performance could soften in a given month for a wide range of reasons. The key is to remain steadfast, constantly optimize the program, and stick to your mission.
And I get it — there's a lot to tackle. But if you avoid these mistakes and stay true to your enrichment mindset, it will bear fruit... which makes for a good analogy: think of all of the things a farmer has to do to reach "success"... prepare the land, plant the seeds, water the ground, ward off pests, protect against bad weather... there's some sort of nurturing to do almost every day. But one day, after all of that hard work, fruit appears. And with a little more nurturing, it will soon be time to harvest. You don't "make" fruit. Fruit is a byproduct of setting up the right environment and nurturing it.
Do you have that kind of patience?
If so, put on your overalls, roll up your sleeves, and let's get to work enriching the lives of others.

Well, apparently the students and parents caught wind of this, and they were pissed about it.
Let's get something straight here. If my child's teacher tells me that my kid is dim, whiney, and unmotivated my reaction would be to jump up my kid's ass and ask him why the hell he's being such a shithead. Not every teacher is perfect and right in their estimation of their students. I once observed an 8th grad social studies teacher that was absolutely attrocious. The kids in her class were shitheads, but it was difficult to tell if they were shitheads because she was attrocious, or if she was attrocious because they were shit heads.
Be that as it may, we need to stop pretending that our children are our little scholarly angels. We demand that teachers help develop our children into productive, mature young adults, and our response when they try to tell us how our kids are is to shit on the teacher?
What is even more laughable is that students at this particular high school are allowed to have a different teacher than her if they request. That's exactly what we should do! Not only should we tell our precious kids that they're all so special and wonderful, but we should also accommodate them for every whim they have. Because, you know, no one in their adult life will ever criticize them, and they'll always be able to request a different boss if they don't get along, or if their boss is too hard on them.
I honestly don't get why parents these days feel the need to shelter their kids from shit that will help them grow. You know what I want for my children? I want them both to be strong, independent adults who are not afraid to work hard in order to get a job done. I don't want them to be hypersensitive pansies who can't take any criticism from anyone.
Call me old fashioned, but the future is likely to be filled with a bunch of whimpy dumbasses with stupid names.

TOKYO, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Shares in Nintendo Co Ltd climbed 3.9 percent to 11,740 yen on Tuesday, with traders citing market expectations that the video game maker will be promoted to the benchmark Nikkei after its annual review.
A decision is expected to be made this week, traders said.
A trader at a foreign bank in Tokyo said investors were also speculating that Japan Exchange Group Inc, formed from the merger of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange in January, would join the Nikkei 225 constituent.
Japan Exchange Group, which has a market capitalisation of about $4.7 billion, advanced 1.4 percent to 8,600 yen, adding to a 9.1 percent rally on Monday.
Nintendo, which has a market capitalisation of $16.3 billion, has risen 29 percent so far this year, slightly underperforming a 33 percent rise in the Nikkei. (Reporting by Dominic Lau; Editing by Stephen Coates)

Mouse tales: don't miss Ralph's adventures in Ralph S. Mouse (Unabridged) and Runaway Ralph (Unabridged).
©1965 Beverly Cleary; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers
"Cleary can't miss with this one!" (Publishers Weekly)
"Cleary again successfully combines fantasy and reality." (Booklist)
"Sensitive five year old loves it!"
We have a hard time finding books for my five year old who does not like anything with conflict or emotional distress between the characters. Beverly Clearly writes well and handles conflict and emotional distress in a way that teaches, but isn't scary. Everyone in the family enjoyed this listen....the age ranges of the kids span 10 years, so finding a book that everyone enjoys can be difficult. I would recommend this book for anyone with kids. It probably helps that I remember reading and enjoying this book as a child.
"A Childhood Favorite"
I would recommend this for any old fans of the book, and any youg reader looking to try something new. The fantastic story of Ralph and his adventurs are performed well and are still able to bring a smile to my face after many years.
As a childhood reader of all Cleary books, this story has made me want to revisit all of her old works.
This was the first BD Wong performance I've heard, outside of his acting on things like SVU and The Ref. It took a second to place him, and he wasn't who I would have expected, but he did a remarkable job.
My kids are three and five, and aren't generally captivated by lengthy stories, but I plan to play this on our next road trip, when they do seem to last a bit longer with their attention span. Books and audible in general have helped us as a family to avoid DVD players and video games in the car, which is something that I'm quite proud of.
"My Son LOVES to Listen to this!!!"
My son is 5 and has already listened to this twice. He loves it and I love to see him listening to it so intently and laughing or gasping as he follows the story.
"BD Wong is an inspired voice over king!"
The narration of this story is so well done. Each character comes alive in the recording. Compelling.
"Classic kids story well performed"
My daughter and I enjoyed listening to this together as a bedtime story. Highly recommended for kids.
"great story for kids!"
my son loved this story, he had three book, it was fun to read along😃
my six-year-old son and I listen to this audiobook while traveling to and from school and sometimes a bedtime. This story was both inspirational and extremely imaginative. My little boy has since learned how to replicate motorcycle sounds . what a great story We thoroughly enjoyed it thank you.
"my 5 yr old grandson loved this book!. "
My 5 year old grandson loved this book!. His big sister, 11 years old, and I also enjoyed it.
This is a wonderful story for all ages...it's charming funny and the characters are delightful! My 9 year old and my 74 year old mother just loved listening in the car while we traveled thru the east coast.
"Highly recommended"
Fantastic book. I liked how the author showed the kids and family using conversation to help each other out. -selah, age 7

The new fall of the Roman Empire!
Title by KATJA VIGNOLE Written by MICHAEL J QUINLAN
This tale began about ten thousand years after the Dinosaurs were neutered. You see the Dinosaur problem was getting a little out of hand after Adam and apple shopping Eve got thrown out of the garden .So, as they began to mate like rabbits and the general populous increased; the need to acquire more real-estate became a pressing concern. So Barney and the large tenderloins had to go- after all pets that size run up expensive veterinarian bills and a stainless steel barby from Wally's just isn't going to hack it, period. Thus ended the unfortunate " Fore- Sight- Saga" of Barney and the cast of thousands and the start of mans illogical conquests.
So, now we have Adam, who is now master of all he surveys, King of the Castle, Lord of the flies and in general a major accident waiting to happen.
He is not content to just farm the land and provide for her indoors and the good old offspring, no, he wants more, he wants to feel powerful, important and impress the world at large with his immense stupidity.
Subsequently, early one Saturday morning he gathers his band of loyal misfits and ambles over to Cyril's pad next door and proceeds to try and convince Cyril that he (Adam) is a member of the master race because his deeply troubled alcoholic brother Charley Darwin has recently seen the light and told his loving family that they are" Thee superior beings"!!!. However Cyril Marx's brother Carl has been telling everyone that everything should be shared and all people are equal and why can't we all just get along.
All day they argue until someone throws a punch and the world has been Du-king it out ever since.
Fast forward to modern civilized America founded by Cyril and Adams descendants and you will see that we have greatly matured and surpassed our wildest dreams and expectations by becoming the unconditional loving humble beings that God intended us to be- Right? Ok ,whatever your smoking regardless of what the doctor prescribed , put it down, straighten up and get a grip- because the roller coaster ride is about to come to an abrupt end and not in your neighbors abode, but yours. Hey, you yell it's not my fault I'm an independent American and no one tells me what to do and besides old George will send a seal team to take care of the problem.
No the problem belongs to all of us and the sooner we take responsibility for our part and fess up and tell God were sorry for screwing up the planet and ask him to heal our deep wounds the sooner we can begin to live a deeply vibrant life full of promise and wonder.
But until then we are on a collision course with disaster, our move?
Katja, here it is hope it makes sense to you, of course as usual it was fun scribbling.

Meitan Xuebao/Journal of the China Coal Society | Year: 2012
Based on summary of the achievements of digital mine construction in China, it made up the connotation and different intellections on digital mine. The concept of auto-mining, tele-mining, mine IoT, perception mines and intelligent mine were introduced, and the relats between digital mine and these concepts were discussed. Referring to the progresses of mining science and technology, the relations were depicted in a matrix with roads of mine technology in digitalization, information and automation. It was pointed out that the digitalization, information and automation are three key technologies of intelligent mine, the digitalization and information linking each other to support mine automation, and that digital mine is the base of perception mine and intelligent mine, and the perception mine is the insurance of intelligent mine. With the construction of the six safety-hedging systems in coal mines and the development of unmanned mining in metal mine being cases, the new tasks of digital mine with support from IoT were definitely suggested. Facing mine safety and intelligent mine, five issues for future research in the 12 th five-year period (2011-2015) were suggested, which are integrated platform of digital mine, mine modeling-simulation system, total-automatic system in opencast, position-navigation technologies for underground mine and intelligent perception for mining environment, respectively.

About Valvular Heart Disease
Also called: Rheumatic Valve Disease, Heart Valve Disease, Valve Disease
What Is Valvular Heart Disease?
The valves of the heart operate like flood gates allowing blood into and out of the four chambers of the heart at the proper times. When something causes these valves to malfunction, it is called valvular heart disease. Forms of the disease include:
-Valvular stenosis: This occurs if one or more of the valves
becomes blocked, thickened, narrowed or stiff, preventing it
from operating properly.
-Atresia: Occurs from a birth defect, and it is when one of the valves is closed shut and does not open.
-Valvular regurgitation: This happens when one or more of the valves does not close properly and blood leaks back into the chamber from which it left.
-Mitral valve prolapse: The two halves of the mitral valve might have a hinge that is too long or one or both of the flaps is too large. This results in the mitral valve not closing as it should and blood flows backward into the left atrium.
What Causes Valvular Heart Disease?
Valvular heart disease could be the result of an abnormality present at birth, but it could also result from an infection or have no known cause.
What Are the Symptoms?
Depending upon how quickly you develop valvular heart disease, you might not have any symptoms, but if the disease progresses suddenly, you could feel severe chest pain, swelling in the ankles, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, rapid weight gain, or weakness. If you have any of these, you should talk to your doctor.
How Is Valvular Heart Disease Diagnosed?
If your doctor suspects valvular heart disease, he will listen to your heart for a murmur. An electrocardiogram (EKG) and echocardiogram might be given. The EKG can reveal problems with the heart beat, and the echocardiogram uses sound waves to create an image of the heart. For a 3-D image of the heart, an MRI might also be administered.
How Is Valvular Heart Disease Treated?
If the extent of your valvular heart disease is minor, you might not need any treatment. For more serious cases, you might be prescribed medications to help regulate your heart beat. These could be ACE inhibitors, inotropes, antiarrhythmics, antibiotics, anticoagulants, or diuretics. Surgery to repair your faulty heart valve might also be recommended. Possible procedures include: percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty to treat valvular stenosis; valvulotomy repairs a valve through open heart surgery; minimally invasive repair surgery; or heart valve replacement.

Hey guys,
Kat here. I am not really a fan of talking too much about myself; but for the formality, I'd like to share some background on myself and how this blog came to be.
Currently, I am 24 years old. A Certified Fitness Trainer, Full-time housewife, and go-getter of my dreams.
Throughout my life (so far), I've lived in 3 countries: Philippines (born and raised until I was 16), Canada (16-23), and the USA presently. I feel very blessed to have the experience of living in different countries as it allowed me to expand my knowledge and appreciate the beauty of different cultures. Truthfully, there's still so much for me to learn and grasp–but hey, I guess that's what life is for. 🙂

Housefull ends 3-month drought at box-office
MUMBAI: The three-month drought at the box-office has ended with Sajid Nadiawala's Housefull, an episodic comedy that has garnered Rs 640 million in the opening weekend.
Among the first of the summer releases post IPL, Housefull collected Rs 480 million in India and Rs 160 million overseas in its opening weekend.
The film, which opened across 2000-plus screens worldwide, has taken a flying start in UK and is positioned at No 11 in that market, having grossed ?2.7 million in three days.
Says Eros International Media senior VP Nandu Ahuja, "Housefull being the first major release post 45 days of IPL cricket frenzy, we were confident that it will open very well. With its excellent weekend performance, the biggest of the year so far, Housefull has lived up to its name".
Cinemax senior vice president Devang Sampat agrees that the movie has had a strong start. "Housefull has taken a good opening across all our theatres. It should do well in the coming days too," he says.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull is the result of an output deal signed between Eros International Media Ltd and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment with whom Eros has enjoyed a long association.
A comic caper in Sajid Khan style, Housefull stars a mix of actors including Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh along with Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal and Jiah Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan's My Name is Khan is the last significant movie release in the year to have moved the box-office, mopping up Rs 1.92 billion after 17 weeks.

From Wilbert Rideau, the award-winning journalist who spent 44 years in Louisiana prisons working against unimaginable odds to redeem himself, the story of a remarkable life: a crime, its punishment, and ultimate triumph.
After killing a woman in a moment of panic following a botched bank robbery, Rideau, denied a fair trial, was improperly sentenced to death at the age of 19. After more than a decade on death row, his sentence was amended to life imprisonment, and he joined the inmate population of the infamous Angola penitentiary. Soon Rideau became editor of the prison newsmagazine The Angolite, which under his leadership became an uncensored, daring, and crusading journal instrumental in reforming the violent prison and the corrupt Louisiana justice system.
With the same incisive feel for detail that brought Rideau great critical acclaim, here he brings to vivid life the world of the prison through the power of his pen. We see Angola's unique culture, encompassing not only rivalries, sexual slavery, ingrained racism, and daily, soul-killing injustices but also acts of courage and decency by keeper and kept alike. As we relive Rideau's remarkable rehabilitation—he lived a more productive life in prison than do most outside—we also witness his long struggle for justice.
In the Place of Justice goes far beyond the confines of a prison memoir, giving us a searing exposé of the failures of our legal system framed within the dramatic tale of a man who found meaning, purpose, and hope in prison. This is a deeply moving, eloquent, and inspirational story about perseverance, unexpected friendships and love, and the possibility that good can be forged under any circumstances.
"Uplifting . . . [Especially] his self-reclamation through tough, committed journalism in an unpropitious setting . . . Rideau's story is a compelling reminder that rehabilitation should be the focus of a penal system." (Publishers Weekly)
"If years in solitary confinement and on death row shaped and refined the young killer, Wilbert Rideau, it can surely be said that Rideau did as much for the prison that held him longest, the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. This is a breathtaking and, ultimately, triumphant story of rehabilitation through endurance and courageous journalism. It is also a searing indictment of a broken, corrupt penal system that does far more damage than good to our society as a whole. This is an extraordinary book." (Ted Koppel)

Occasionally, a woman may find that she has lost the natural fullness of her breast, or that the skin has become loose or superfluous. This gives the breasts a "sagging" or "drooping" appearance. Often this happens when the woman has lost weight, or after a pregnancy, when hormones result in drastic changes in breast volume. The purpose of mastopexy is to restore the natural shape and contour of the breast. This makes the breast firmer, with tighter skin, and better nipple position.
Read Short Scar Breast Lift Surgery Newsletter
The Virginia breast lift operation is usually performed with the patient under general anesthesia but, occasionally, we can use local anesthesia and heavy sedation. The incisions are made around the areola (the pink skin surrounding the nipple) and under the breast. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more appropriate level, and the redundant skin is removed from the lower part of the breast. After the skin is closed, the natural form of the breast itself generally hides the incisions. Short scar breast lift or mastopexy refers to operations that limit the incision to varying degrees. Some breast lifts are done with incisions only around the nipple. Other short scar techniques may have a incision below the nipple but not in the fold. Occasionally, it may be necessary to augment the breast with an implant to provide more volume in the breasts, or it may be necessary to reduce the volume of the breast in order to achieve the desired result. Dr. Marefat will discuss these possibilities with you prior to surgery.
After breast lift surgery in Virginia, you will wear a surgical bra for a few days to help reduce swelling. A supportive bra is recommended for several weeks thereafter to help minimize your discomfort. Minor swelling and discoloration may be present for a short period. You may also experience temporary changes in the sensation of the breast or nipple. These sensory changes revert to normal in a short time period. Dr. Marefat will make every effort to minimize the scarring; however, these scars will be noticeable and are permanent.
A breast lift is an operation to that lifts the nipples and improves the shape of the breast by excising the excess skin.
Breast lift surgery indicated for any woman with significant sagging of the breasts. Women who seek a breast lift have loss of breast fullness and have low-lying nipples. Sometimes this is a congenital condition which has been present from the time breast development started. Surgical candidates must be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. However, the best results are seen in individuals who have moderate to major ptosis ("sagging") of the breasts. Generally, the younger you are, the better a candidate you are for surgery. A person's physiological age is more important than their chronological age. That is to say, you may be 60 years old, but your skin and general health may be better than that of most 50 year olds.
There are no real contraindications to Virginia breast lift surgery unless your health precludes an elective operation. People who have unrealistic goals are not good candidates. Having keloid (bad scar) producing skin can be a relative deterrent to surgery. Dr. Marefat can tell you if he thinks that favorable results are possible in your case.
The purpose of mastopexy (breast lift) is to restore the natural shape and contour of the breast, giving it firmer and tighter skin, with better nipple position.
If you have heavy breasts, lifting the breast may help your posture and, therefore, your back and shoulder pain. However, the main purpose of this operation is not to remove tissue from the breast , therefore the size and weight changes are not significant.
In the first consultation, you will have a chance to discuss your concerns with our patient care coordinators and Dr. Marefat. We will explain what you need to know about the Virginia breast lift procedure and help to determine what is best for you. You will receive information booklets and pricing on the procedures.
The incisions are made around the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) and under the breast. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more appropriate position, and the redundant skin is removed from the lower breast. After the skin is closed, the natural form of the breast generally hides the incisions. Occasionally, it may be necessary to augment the breast with an implant to provide more volume, or it may be necessary to reduce the breast's volume in order to achieve the desired result. Dr. Marefat will discuss these possibilities with you prior to surgery.
Our objective is to tighten the skin of the breast and lift the nipple to its ideal position on the breast mound. By repositioning the nipple on your breast, you will see a significant improvement in shape. You will be less likely to have skin related problems, such as rashes or sores, under your breast. In addition, Virginia breast lift surgery will enable you to exercise easier and live a healthier life.
There are several techniques that strive to limit the extent of the incisions in breast lifts. You may have heard of the "Donut Mastopexy," for example. This technique is used in minimal breast lifts, and the incision is hidden in the nipple-areola region. The natural change of color between the areola skin (the darker skin around the nipple) and the breast skin serves as camouflage for the scar. In addition to the scar around the nipple, a short vertical scar may be used for lifting most breasts. This is commonly referred to as the "Lollypop incision breast lift". This newer method is being used more commonly and has the advantage of not placing scars in the mammary fold. The traditional anchor incision is still used today for cases in which short scar techniques cannot provide adequate lift.
General anesthesia. In certain small breast lifts, it may be possible to do this surgery using straight local anesthesia or local sedation.
After breast lift surgery you will have a minimal to moderate amount of drainage from the incisions. You will need to rest for the first 2 or 3 days, but most people are up and about shortly after the surgery. We generally recommend our patients take off 7 days from work. Heavy lifting and exercising should be avoided in the first 2 weeks. Your body will tell you when you are ready to get back into your regular exercise routine. You will have a supportive bra or bandage for the first few days. This helps the skin attach to the underlying tissues after surgery, and reduces the chance of fluid collection under the skin. Once the dressing is removed, you can shower normally. We usually remove the dressings in the first 2 or 3 days after surgery. There will be some numbness associated with the Virginia breast lift surgery. This numbness usually persists for about 4-6 weeks. A moderate degree of swelling is normal after this operation. This swelling is related to accumulations of fluid in skin and subcutaneous tissues. Most of the swelling subsides within the first 2 or 3 weeks after the surgery. Minor asymmetry between the two sides can be seen after a breast lift. No one has completely symmetrical breasts, and you have to accept these minor differences in size and shape.
Unnaturalness and imperfections resulting from breast lift surgery are not common aesthetic complications. The breasts heal quite well. Minor differences and irregularities usually resolve themselves after several weeks. Most surgeons endeavor to achieve the best possible result in the initial operation. However, even when everything is done right, there is still a chance that you may develop some irregularity in the shape of the breast or scar. If this does occur, you may need to fix this problem in a touch-up procedure. This touch-up procedure is done approximately 3-6 months after the initial procedure.
Before the doctor discusses with you the complications of breast lift surgery, it is important for you to consider how to digest these pieces of information. Reading about complications can be quite scary. Many people cannot comfortably sit through a consultation session without having real doubts about surgery. This is a natural response. It is different when you have these complications explained to you by a doctor. Dr. Marefat can put them in perspective for you and identify the likelihood of such complications occurring. Most complications are very rare. Some are less rare and need to be explained to you in more detail so that you understand how we would tackle these problems if they occurred. The purpose of explaining risks and complications is so that you know what steps we would take to treat you, putting you back on the road to recovery. Remember that every surgeon has his or her own way of treating problems. You must go over these potential risks with Dr. Marefat to gain better insight and understanding.
Sometimes the Virginia breast lift procedure, like breast augmentation, may involve use of an implant. With implant breast surgery, the most common complication is the capsular contracture. This term refers to firmness of the breast caused by the shrinking of the scar tissue surrounding the implant. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict in whom this problem will occur. It may occur in one breast but not the other.
If this problem occurs, we may have to perform a corrective procedure. If the condition is mild and acceptable to the patient, the treatment options for resolving this type of problem include nontreatment. Otherwise, surgical correction may be necessary. Closed capsulectomy (release of the contracture by external pressure) is no longer done. Open capsulectomy would entail returning to the operating room for releasing the capsule—either by making incisions in the scar tissues, or by removing the scar tissue completely. This allows the breast implant to sit comfortably in its pocket and stay soft. The risk of developing capsular contracture is approximately 10%, although higher numbers have been reported in some studies.
Bleeding is very uncommon with breast lift surgery because we are generally not cutting deeper breast tissues. However, there have been some reports in the literature of bleeding as a complication. There are those who are at higher risk of bleeding. The use of certain medications, such as aspirin or coumadin (a blood thinner), could put you at higher risk of bleeding. Some people with a history of uncontrolled hypertension could be at higher risk of bleeding after the surgery. Some individuals who are not aware of having problems with coagulation have had bleeding after surgery. If you do not have any of these risk factors, you should not be at high risk for bleeding. However, if you do have bleeding, for whatever reason, we will treat it immediately.
Other complications include the following:
Touch-ups are done after 3 months. These procedures are usually much simpler than the first procedure and are not as painful. Dr. Marefat can do them in the Virginia office with a small amount of local anesthetic, if it is a minor deformity or problem. However, if the problem was more complicated or difficult, the doctor would do it in the outpatient surgery center with the patient under general anesthesia.
The breast lift sutures come out in 2-3 weeks. Sometimes you may have absorbable sutures that do not need to come out.
We like to see our patients frequently after surgery. You are seen by the doctor or nurse within 2-3 days of Virginia breast lift surgery. Then the normal postoperative routine is: once a week until all sutures are out, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Of course, if there is a need, you may be seen more often. After the first year, we encourage our patients to come in for routine follow-up visits every 3-5 years.
You should be able to wear make-up if you have had breast surgery. However, we do not recommend putting make-up on your incisions. This may result in tattooing of the skin by the pigments in the make-up.
You can pay for Virginia breast lift surgery by certified check, credit card, or cash. Payment for cosmetic surgery is expected prior to any procedure. If you are scheduled for surgery several weeks in advance, you may pay by personal check.
Yes. The scars of breast lift surgery are going to be around and under your nipple and, sometimes, in the breast fold. If your breast has only a minor ptosis or sagging, you may only have a simple scar around your nipple (circumareolar mastopexy). However, this is usually not the case, and a vertical scar going from the nipple to the inframammary fold may be necessary. Today, this technique of lifting is becoming more prevalent, and the scars are not as significant as those from older techniques. The traditional scar of the breast lift was the anchor shaped scar located under the fold. This scar was the main deterrent to breast lift surgery for many women. As we improve our short-scar techniques, more women will be able to have Virginia breast lift surgery.
The pain involved in mastopexy is very tolerable. We have heard our patients describe it as "muscle aches" or just "soreness in the chest." Many patients do not finish the pain medications prescribed to them for pain relief. Having said that, remember that pain is very subjective, and it is not easy to predict what degree of pain you will have.
If you are just having a small area of your breast removed, and the procedure can be performed in the office, then you will be awake. However, if you are having a normal breast lift, the procedure will most likely be performed in an outpatient facility under general anesthesia. A Virginia breast lift can be a complicated and time-consuming procedure. If you want favorable results, it is better to let the surgeon concentrate on the procedure and not on your level of discomfort during the operation.
Dr. Marefat likes to perform Virginia breast lift surgery in an outpatient surgery center. If the procedure is very minor, and the area in question can be anesthetized adequately with local numbing medicine, then it may be possible to do it in our Virginia offices.
Yes. In all cosmetic and reconstructive cases medical photos are taken. Photographs are mandatory. This is the only way for us to compare your status before the operation to your results. Photographs in plastic surgery serve much the same role that x-rays serve for orthopedic surgery.

Track Identification
A professional from Morrison, CO says:
July 21, 2014
The track I need has an outside dimension to outside dimension is exactly 3". The two ribs inside the old track where the rollers rest are 1 3/4" apart, center to center. Your track 23-271 is smaller. The outside dimension is 2 13/16" = 3/16" smaller than the old track. The new ridges that the rollers would ride on in the new track are 1 5/8" apart from center to center. What product code should I order?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
July 22, 2014
Thanks for posting. I think our 23-258 may have been a better choice for your track.

Deported Mormon glass artists making new life in new country
La Escritora SLC, utAug. 25, 2012 6:13 p.m.
Thank you for your great comments. I knew the Correa Family when I was a SCORE counselor, I helped her little bit with her marketing needs. I never knew and I never ask about their status. They came to a few of my events to promote and to sell their incredible stained glass products and jewelry. I wanted them to succeed in this country. I am as well from Argentina. Sometimes the difference between legal and illegal immigrant is a simple matter of money. They come here because they don't have money and can't afford to be legal. I had to work really hard for 3 years to save enough $ to come to this country. A big number of immigrants are building a stronger economy such as the agriculture industry. Many of them who came illegally, realized that they had made a mistake especially when their children are born in this country. They have worked hard to saved enough to become legal for these types of immigrants who have American children, the US Immigration Law should have a way to make them citizen.I am happy for the Correa's family and God be with you always
RichardB Murray, UTAug. 24, 2012 5:39 a.m.
The US decides what length of time a visa is for. You have to know the type of visa to find out how long they can be for. 90 days to 3 years in most cases. Making sure the visa is extended is their responsibility. The business has to fill out papers, but the visa holder has to work with the business to make sure they are filled out. Chances are they were on a visiting visa and the business could not apply for them.
As far as the deportation, maybe they did not send the papers because they did not know where they were. In the original article, they were told to leave, and instead they moved to Utah. The government was looking for them since 2006 to carry out the deportation orders.
It's to bad they did not follow the laws. A 90 day visa to visit does not entitle them to work or apply for a work visa while here. Most visas require a person to return to their home country before applying (an extension on a work visa can be made while the person is here)
RRB SLC, UTAug. 22, 2012 11:31 p.m.
NedGrimley, young adults recruit teens all the time. Should they be turned lose because they didn't know better?
When going to another country people have a responsibility to check out the laws and follow them.
If a lawyer tells them wrong (an excuse used daily in deportation hearings) their beef is with the lawyer, not the government. The same applies to US citizens.
RichardB Murray, UTAug. 20, 2012 7:34 p.m.
Hundreds on millions of people want to come here. We can't accept them all, so the only way to be fair is through legal immigration. We should not cater to those who chose to come here illegally, and allow them to take the place of honest people who apply, and follow our laws.
I've found over the years, that those who cry compassion the loudest, are the ones profiting and taking advantage of the lawbreakers.
Gregg Weber SEATTLE, WAAug. 20, 2012 6:58 p.m.
I wonder how those that have been deported because they illegally entered or stayed in the US could be helped when they return to their country. Improve their lives there so that they don't have to pay the smugglers, be paid sub rate by employers here, and other hardships. If there is crime in their own country, I hope that they would fight it at home rather than run away, just as if there was corruption in some of our states. Improve the nest.
prelax Murray, UTAug. 20, 2012 5:54 p.m.
What would happen if every person who wanted to come here came illegally or overstayed Visas? Our economy would collapse trying to provide for them. We have to insist that people come here legally.
If the 11.5 million left, citizens would be able to find jobs. Overstaying a visa is just as illegal as crossing the border. Both groups commit multiple felonies each day they stay here and work. It's their responsibility to follow up on visas and deportation orders.
With 2.5 million visas each year, a million green cards, and now 2 million people amnestied by Obama, we can't afford a liberal attitude towards those who come here without permission. Our economies recovery will never happen by flooding our labor pool. Are we willing to accept 8.3% unemployment for the next 20 years?
Make people come legally and let's control our borders. Remember 911 was carried out by people here illegally that overstayed their visas.
KPDP Boutiful, UTAug. 20, 2012 1:52 p.m.
What a great Family! They deserve Happiness! What a Shame that they were deported in the manner they described. Everyone deserves a chance to make what ever "wrong" into a "right". It is the Lord's way. I hope and pray for their success, and if they are patient enough, and determined, they can file the 'lengthy' and arduous paperwork, interviews, and fines they may need to pay in order to return to the U.S. if they desire. I am sad for their loss, but happy for their success in Chile.
Stay Close to the Lord and He will Direct your paths...
Just an Observer Salt Lake City, UTAug. 20, 2012 12:30 p.m.
Definitely not a question of black or white, is it? I must say that if the original employer hired Mr. Correa legally, then there should be some kind of allowance to let the family stay. But, perhaps, if that employer did not hire Mr. Correa legally, then some sort of equal responsibility should be assessed to that employer as well.
killpack Sandy, UTAug. 20, 2012 12:27 p.m.
Fern RL, the problem is corrupt governing bodies, both foreign and domestic. Shame on any government who requires its citizens to pay a bribe so they can be given 'permission' to travel abroad. But also, shame on the corrupt US government for creating, as they normally do, an immigration bureaucracy that make regulations here and enforces them there, while letting those with money and a good lawyer not have to deal with any of it if they pay a bribe. Or, they grant 'amnesty' to a select few immigrants so they (the bureaucrats) can get reelected. There's a reason thousands of Americans are taking early retirement and moving in the opposite direction, South of the border. The problem is not that this country is over-crowded, the problem is that this country is over-crowded with self-important, paper-pushing, government administrators and free-loaders and under-crowded with entrepreneurs and working class members being more and more driven overseas. Though what the US Government did to the Correa family was horribly wrong, they likely did them a huge favor. I might just have to move to Chile myself.
JRJ Pocatello, IDAug. 20, 2012 11:48 a.m.
DN Subscriber: The Correas knew about the regulations and they did their best to follow them. If you would note there were several people/businesses who failed to follow through with their responsibilities. What a shame that we boot people like these folks and keep everybody who knowingly cross the border and live off middle income Americans.
I remember the incident, I too, appreciate the DN following up on them. Best wishes to them in their business and personal lives.
Fern RL LAYTON, UTAug. 20, 2012 11:17 a.m.
This was a very enlightening article. I had always thought of illegal aliens as being those who crossed the border without any visa at all. I thought of the countries they were escaping from, mostly Mexico, as being the real culprits for making life so unbearable for their citizens that they would risk everything to get out of there.
Now I see that many of them actually come to this country legally but illegally overstay their visas, particularly while applying for further legal rights to stay. To me, that is a whole different issue.
It is also a different issue when persecution is involved in the person's original country.
Even now, though, I don't understand what determines the length of time allowed on a visa. Is it Argentine policy to allow only a short visa, or does that decision come from the United States? Is there equality in the treatment of someone coming here from Europe, Canada, or anywhere else?
I understand that as long as there are borders there need to be limits, with a kind of balance between those moving into the country and those moving out.
oldcougar Orem, UTAug. 20, 2012 11:14 a.m.
Of course, I meant, "the reason good folks come here ILLEGALLY is..."
oldcougar Orem, UTAug. 20, 2012 10:54 a.m.
Ned Grimley got it right. You folks who see thing as black and white, my way or the highway, would, in my humble opinion, be better to direct your energy toward fixing our really stupid immigration laws and even worse enforcement. The biggest reason good folks come here legally is because they are deperate, for one reason or another (for work, food, safety, etc,) and they can't afford the money or the time required to get here legally. Why do we make it so easy for the bad guys (I mean real bad guys) to get here and so hard for the good guys??? Why not welcome hard working folks, of good moral character, to our country...as other countries do???? and those of you quoting articles of faith, keep doing so, but only if your conscience can tell you tha you are 100% compliant yourself. Get over your self-righteousness and join in the effort to reform our ridiculous, embarrassing immigration laws and enforcement.
Andy Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 20, 2012 9:46 a.m.
These are the kinds of people we are deporting?? Skilled workers who work hard, pay taxes, contribute and make their communities better? No wonder Chile is growing and the US is decaying.
Of course Chile wants this family. We should want this family.
To the DesNews: thanks for following up on this family. But I'm not surprised they landed on their feet. Hard workers with some vision and faith can generally make it wherever they land.
killpack Sandy, UTAug. 20, 2012 9:23 a.m.
Deportation may have very well been a blessing in disguise for this family. The US Government is becoming more incompetent, corrupt, immoral and hypocritical every day. Instead of rewarding hard work, they levy ridiculous and complicated taxes and regulations on honest hard working individuals and small businesses in order to pay off special interests keeping them in power. Immigration laws and enforcement are a debauchery, allowing some to stay on a whim or a bribe or because it fulfills a political need at that particular instant, while others are deported because they weren't so fortunate to have a corrupt politician or judge working their case. If I was Senor Correa, I'd say good riddance. If I were him, I'd find a country where the legal system actually rewards hard work, innovation and entrepreneurship. America is quickly proving to not be such a place. On the other look into Singapore, Taiwan or maybe even Hong Kong. Low taxes, low regulations and they actually welcome hard working individuals and businesses from other countries.
NedGrimley Brigham City, UTAug. 20, 2012 9:14 a.m.
Should every individual here "illegally" be painted with the exact same brush, (evil, work stealing, deceptive law breakers), and be rounded up and deported without taking any of the past actions of our own country and its supposed law abiding citizenry into account? I don't think so.
Now the tough part. What to do? Remedies have been suggested. Ideas floated. Resolutions provided. Legislation proposed. But there are so many people carrying this "git off my proppity" attitude, that a solid, fair and workable resolution will be tough to come by. Unless we can grow up and look at the issue realistically.
I'm sorry, but its pretty obvious to anyone with a brain what the immediate deportation of 12 million people would do to an already pitiful economy.
I side with DN Subscriber and vote for a viable way to "...welcome them...to the U.S., if they choose to [live here] legally and obey our laws."
My 2 cents worth... (Duck and cover;)
NedGrimley Brigham City, UTAug. 20, 2012 9:13 a.m.
I'm not a fan of illegal immigration. However, I also realize that enforecement of immigration laws in this country has been crappy (can I say "crappy" on this forum?) for may, many years. The complete lack of enforcement, along with the facilitation of illegal immigration by turning a blind eye for so many years by those who should enforce the law, and by those who had the most to benefit from them being here, has led to the problem we have today.
I find it difficult to lay ALL blame at the feet of those who were not only welcomed, but encouraged to come to America, and oft times misled by unscroupulous "facilitators", including attorneys, employers, government officials, and anyone else that could benefit from their presence here.
Are there many individuals that came knowlingly breaking the law? Absolutely. Are there many, many more that came thinking they were doing what was necessary to be here legally, but in reality weren't because they were misled into thinking they were doing it right? I believe so. Should not the attorneys, business owners, government officials and others that facilitated their entry hold some accountability? I think so.
J-TX Allen, TXAug. 20, 2012 7:20 a.m.
"He held a job, paid taxes and never received so much as a traffic ticket."
How do you do that without a Social Security card or a Resident Alien (green) card?
Answer: By using a false (someone else's) social security number. But then, Identity Theft is a crime with a faceless victim, isn't it? Until the victim is YOU.
Say No to BO Mapleton, UTAug. 20, 2012 6:26 a.m.
Some of these comments are laughable.
How can anyone say our country is harsh and we are obsessed with deportation?
Look at the data folks. A million green cards a year. Free ER and public schools, no questions asked. Rampant employment of illegals (about 4% of the workforce). ONE THIRD of all the foreign-born are here illegally.
We've become a nation of patsies for illegal aliens. They work and live here with little fear of detection and few of those detected are ever deported.
Some "plight."
prelax Murray, UTAug. 20, 2012 4:44 a.m.
I've always wondered why some people choose to come here legally, and some chose the illegal route. With three and a half million people coming here each year (2010), some on green cards, some on visas, how do people make that decision? Argentina doesn't have a long wait, why overstay a visa? 5 years of expired visas and saying the boss never filed it seems strange. Being deported and not leaving also sounds strange. Papers or no papers they knew they were being deported. Not following up on your status seems strange.
Does it feel better not using someones social security number, or committing perjury by filling out a i-9 form illegally?
I have several families of legal immigrants near me, and one family here illegally. With their son being given temporary amnesty, you would think they won the lottery. The people here legally know they won the real lottery years ago when they chose to come here legally.
RRB SLC, UTAug. 20, 2012 3:44 a.m.
Our immigration laws have brought part of those here working. Many have just ignored our laws. How can we complain about our laws, when so many abuse them.
Lasvegaspam has it right. Many citizens of this country have to move every year to provide for their families. Construction workers have had to move and find work in other fields, they can no longer support their families on reduced wages.
There is no reason for people to come here against the law. I'm happy for them, after the earthquake they could have Churches lining up for their work.
anti-liar Salt Lake City, UTAug. 20, 2012 3:13 a.m.
I am relieved to see that apparently, these people have more respect for Chile's immigration laws than they did for the U.S.'s.
This story also goes to show that deportation is not the virtual death sentence that many imply it is -- that many deportees thrive not only temporarily, but spiritually as well since they now are living to a higher standard of legality and of honesty toward and respect for one's fellow man than they were in this country as illegal foreign nationals.
I wish this family continued temporal and spiritual success and happiness in their adopted country of Chile.
WestGranger West Valley City, UtahAug. 19, 2012 10:22 p.m.
Our entire political system has failed to provide us with a intelligent and proper immigration system. One that fails to distinguish between those who would be a great benefit to our society and those who would bring criminal and otherwise negative behavior here. It is an unfortunate lack of leadership that has harmed our country.
Lasvegaspam Henderson, NVAug. 19, 2012 7:55 p.m.
I see the Correa family as no different than my own. My husband and I were both born and raised in Chicago, which is where most of our family resides today. Due to a job loss, we chose to move away from there to take a job in a small city along the Mississippi. It was idyllic and we would have loved to have raised our children there. But due to the sale of the new company we chose to make another move, this time across the nation to a western state; and to another awesome city where my children ended up growing up, graduating high school and launching from.
I often tell people that these moves have been the best thing that ever happened to our family. They broadened our perspectives and our horizons.
I am always shocked by people who think that it is their "right" to remain in whatever place they currently reside, and that they are somehow entitled to a good job and a good life there. Folks, follow the opportunities and you'll find new ones appear!
grconklin La Mesa, CAAug. 19, 2012 6:22 p.m.
"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
Has this principle been suspended for people who come into the United States illegally??
DN Subscriber Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 19, 2012 6:06 p.m.
While this is a god reminder of the hardships for a family, let us remember that the plight of the family is the direct result of their failure to obey the laws, which they clearly understood.
I would welcome them back to the U.S. if they choose to enter legally and obey our laws. If not, then they will certainly thrive in Chile, which is a fine country, and their lives will be the better for having had the chance to live in the U.S. for at least a few years.
Legal immigrants are always welcome. Those who break our laws need to accept that there are (or at least should be) consequences for their choices.
MoJules Florissant, MOAug. 19, 2012 5:57 p.m.
I am glad to hear the positives that this family has experienced. I know that it was awful to go through that, but the refiners fire has helped them to grow and to expand. They wonder about what would it had been like if Obama would have done his amnesty before that, they would not have grown and discovered depth and strength from this experience. Trials are our gifts to help us to grow.
NeilT Clearfield, UTAug. 19, 2012 5:47 p.m.
Janet. I agree. We as a country are obsessed with deportation people. Many are law abiding people who have much to offer. I support the LDS church and their call to bring humanity back to the immigration debate. I salute the family for not giving up despite hardships.
Janet Ontario, ORAug. 19, 2012 5:12 p.m.
People who immigrated (or had family members immigrate) before 9/11; many people who immigrated from countries other than in Latin America; people who haven't lived as children in fear of being sent "back" to a foreign country -- all have no idea what it is like for families like this one. There are some of us, Mr. Romboy, who appreciate the reminder that deportation of such families is a shame. Thank you!
freedomingood provo, UtahAug. 19, 2012 5:04 p.m.
Too bad they had to leave. Hopefully the future is bright and they can return if they want to.
t702 Las Vegas, NVAug. 19, 2012 4:13 p.m.
Great story! Those who work hard will always find new doors open regardless of their circumstances. Folks like these are those that fully appreciate America and what it stands for, unlike the Occupy whiners that want the government provide for them...
? SLC, UTAug. 19, 2012 3:59 p.m.
As the saying goes, "One door closes, another one opens". Seems the Correa family has a great gift for stained glass that is appreciated in many places throughout the world. Keep up the great work.

Four Ways to Untangle RAC's Medically Unlikely Edits
Connolly Healthcare and CGI recently added Medically Unlikely Edits (MUE) for outpatient hospital claims to its CMS-approved list for all providers in Region C states. MUEs are edits that CMS has put into place to limit the number of units for a service for one patient on the same date of service.
Currently, if a provider bills over that limit, the claim will be returned to the provider (RTP) and cannot be appealed.
MUEs are designed to prevent clerical errors and incorrect coding. Several years ago, the date of service and the units field on the UB04 were inadvertently switched. This resulted in costly overbilling errors by some providers. This may have been part of the reason for implementation of MUEs, according to Debbie Mackaman, RHIA, CHCO, regulatory specialist for HCPro, Inc.
Of the four RACs, Connolly and CGI, the RACs for Region C and B respectively, are the only ones to officially announce MUEs as an approved issue; however, HealthDataInsights, the RAC for Region D (as well as CGI) have released "once in a lifetime" edits. Once in a lifetime edits are similar to MUEs as a unit of service limit; however, all of the patient's claims history is considered rather than one date of service, said Mackaman.
With added focus on an already uncertain entity, being cautious and aware of these issues is crucial. "You have to look at all aspects of the revenue cycle in today's regulatory environment."
There are a number of items providers should consider when attempting to untangle the MUE web, according to Mackaman:
- Know where to find the appropriate MUE table on the CMS Web site.
- Develop an understanding of the current and future CMS guidance to help bypass edits when the units of service are appropriate and discuss with your fiscal intermediary or Medicare administrative contractor, if necessary.
- Create a system to catch these edits prior to submitting the claim and review for possible errors.
- Providers should watch for quarterly changes to the list in the future since CMS has not published all of the edits.
James Carroll is associate editor for the HCPro Revenue Cycle Institute.
