More Information for those considering Plastic Surgery in California
Breast Augmentation California
Breast Augmentation is an elective, cosmetic surgical procedure performed in order to increase breast size through the use of saline or silicone breast implant prosthetics. The procedure, which can be performed in 1 to 2 hours, is typically perfomed in an accredited outpatient surgical facility and recovery times are relatively short, depending on the individual patient. Read more about California Breast Augmentation.
Breast Lift California
Mastopexy, or the procedure known as the breast lift, reconstructs the breast structure so that excess fat and skin is removed, tightening the breast tissues, giving it a 'lifted' appearance. The procedure is typically performed in order to reverse the devastating effects of preganancy, breastfeeding and dramatic weight loss, which can leave the breasts lacking volume, shape and symmetry. The mastopexy will also address the tissue surrounding the nipple, or areola, which oftentimes becomes stretched due to the same effects. A more in-depth look for Breast Lift patients in California can be found through the My Plastic Surgeon USA Procedures page.
Breast Reduction California
The Breast Reduction procedure is an amazing surgical technique that was designed to reduce or eliminate the physical problems associated with having very large breasts. Removing excess fat, skin and glandular tissues creates smaller, firmer and ultimately, lighter breasts that are proportionate to the body size and type of the woman, thus alleviating the pain and discomfort of having disproportionately large breasts. Patients seeking Breast Reduction in California should know it can be combined with Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift surgeries to achieve a desired look, depending on the needs and desires of the individual patient.
Breast Revision California
Women seek to replace their previous breast implants with new implants, or what's known as Breast Revision surgery, for many different reasons, including capsular contracture or hardened implants, high-riding implants, ruptured implants or simply because they wish to have different sized implants. Similar to the Breast Augmentation procedure, the Breast Revision removes the previous implants and creates a new pocket within the breast specifically designed to fit the new implants for a look that is natural, anatomical and symmetrical. This procedure typically lasts between 2 to 3.5 hours, depending on the condition and circumstances involving the original implants.
Tummy Tuck California
An effective way of eliminating the physical results of pregnancy, childbirth or dramatic weight loss, the Tummy Tuck procedure, also known as Abdominoplasty, has been developed by plastic surgeons to tighten weak or collapsed stomach muscles and excise loose, flabby, excess skin and fatty deposits around the waistline. The results are a tighter, smaller waistline and a more contoured mid-section, which can help clothes fit better and increase self-confidence. California Tummy Tuck patients will find an excellent information resource on this subject at the My Plastic Surgeon USA Abdominoplasty procedure page.
Liposuction California
Liposuction is a cosmetic enhancement surgery that involves the removal of fatty deposits from 'trouble areas' such as the thighs, stomach/waist, cheeks, chin and neck, as well as the hips, buttocks and upper arms. By targeting specific areas of the body, Liposuction is able to contour and smooth the skin with no major incisions, which makes Liposuction an attractive alternative to more invasive surgical procedures. However, for more dramatic cases, Liposuction is performed in conjunction with the Tummy Tuck, and the results can be impressive.
Mommy Makeover California
The Mommy Makeover is a revolutionary new procedure for Mothers in who desire a firmer, tighter body after pregnancy and childbirth. It combines the best of the most popular surgical procedures such as abdominoplasty, breast lift and/or augmentation and liposuction to restore and rejuvenate the mother's body back to her pre-pregnancy body, as close as possible. The procedure tightens stretched stomach muscles, loose skin and removes excess fatty deposits in those 'trouble areas' such as the waist, thighs and belly.
Face Lift California
The Face Lift is a cosmetic enhancement surgery that restores sagging facial muscles and loose skin to a more youthful looking state by surgically removing excess skin and fatty deposits in the face, chin and jaw, while smoothing and tightening skin to create a rejuvenated, youthful look.
Rhinoplasty California
Rhinoplasty, or commonly known as nasal surgery, is performed to correct physiologocal as well as aesthetic defects such as a deviated septum and abnormalities as the result of prior injury or genetics. These abnormalities can obstruct air flow into the lungs and cause breathing problems, snoring or sleep apnea. Patients also seek rhinoplasty to correct aesthetic defects, that when corrected provide balance and harmony to their facial features, thus complimenting their natural beauty.
Blepharoplasty California
Blepharoplasty, or commonly referred to as cosmetic eyelid surgery, is an elective surgical procedure used to remove wrinkles, excess fat and skin from around the upper and/or lower eyelids. Patients who undergo blepharoplasty typically complain of excess wrinkles, puffiness around the eyes, "bags" under the eyes and droopy eyelids. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places so that scarring is minimal and results are immediate. Patients who undergo blepharoplasty surgery typically enjoy results that are long-lasting and have the over all effect of looking younger and more alert.
Gynecomastia California
Male Breast Reduction is the surgical removal of enlarged male breast tissues by the cutting out of excess tissue or by liposuction. This plastic surgery procedure is specifically created for men who suffer from gynecomastia and whose breasts are enlarged by excess fatty deposits and enlarged nipples. In most cases, the patient can return to work and normal daily activities within one week of surgery and the procedure is sometimes covered by insurance. Talk to your plastic surgeon to see if male breast reduction surgery is right for you.

Hideki Kamiya, Platinum Games game designer, has confirmed on Twitter that we should expect to get more information about Wii U exclusive Bayonetta 2 sometime next week.
Bayonetta 2 are my most hyped game of all. Though yes, I need a Wii U right now!
Its using Nintendo/Retros game engine i think the one they showed epic mark rein and he was very impressed. in other words wow cant wait.
After the controversial Megaton sized announcement that Bayonetta 2 would in fact arrive as a Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive offering, the title temporarily went dark. Pretty much vanishing without a trace with complete silence. I am proud that this much anticipated exclusive will be receiving a little bit of spotlight. AAA caliber releases on this type of scale can definitely benefit from that type of exposure. Advertisement and exposure or lack there of it can make or break the success of a gaming title. So anything at this point is welcome.
My hat is tipped in favor of Nintendo and Platinum Games. For working in co-op efforts using virtual cpr to breathe life, and offer a second chance to what I believe is the greatest hack and slash franchise available. The previous Bayonetta offered the greatest pure hack n slash over the top gameplay available in the industry in my opinion. Great things must not go to waste. A fine and welcome addition to Nintendo's growing exclusive arsenal of gaming experiences.

Military leaders launch an offensive against slideshow presentations, but is it a winnable war?
IF TORQUEMADA HAD A LAPTOP. The Defense Department has declared war on PowerPoint. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who heads U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, told the New York Times, "It's dangerous because it can create the illusion of understanding and the illusion of control. Some problems in the world are not bullet-izable."
To prove his point, McChrystal's been displaying an indecipherable slide of the United States' military strategy. "When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war," he's said.
Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, Joint Forces commander, put it more succinctly: "PowerPoint makes us stupid."
Related story:
Kudos to military leaders for fighting the good fight, but is this a winnable war? It's not as if the coma-inducing effects of slideshows haven't been known for years. Back in January 2000, Peter Norvig created his classic send-up of PowerPoint, putting the Gettysburg Address into a stultifying set of bullet points. A 2003 New Yorker cartoon depicts the devil conferring with one of his minions: "I need someone well-versed in the art of torture — do you know PowerPoint?" A few years ago, a military forum posted "The Ballad of the PowerPoint Ranger," a tribute to the downtrodden grunts who spend their time making slides for the brass. Graphic design guru Edward Tufte, now working for the Obama administration, has railed against PowerPoint for years.
And yet slideshows soldier on, as persistent as zombies in a horror movie. A Google search for "PowerPoint torture," for example, produces plenty of discussion on the pain of sitting through slideshows — and no shortage of torturous PowerPoint presentations on the very subject of torture.
Is there any escape? Or is there still no better way to make your point at a meeting or conference?
Admittedly, PowerPoint has become snappier over the years, adding moving images and interactive capabilities. But it's still the business equivalent of somebody's vacation pictures. And military leaders make a valid point about the dangers of oversimplification. Our guess is that, for now, we're pretty much stuck with it.
Meanwhile, for the sake of posterity, we'd like to create a sort of rogue's gallery of bad presentations, a museum of slideshow atrocities. If you have a "good" one, include the link in the comments section below. Future generations will thank you.

I teach power point classes and the one thing I stress is that PP is an extension of your presentation. It is NOT your presentation. It should be clean and highlight the high/valid points of your speech/presentation. I have sat through power point presentations that made me want to just die from the agony and pain the presenter was putting me through. PP's done right are a great TOOL! Done wrong......it is the death of a presentor.
Look at the way Steve Jobs does his Keynote speeches. His slides are usually white background with one or two words on the screen...very large. If not he will have a simple picture. He uses it the way it should be used, as an extension of his speech. He doesn't use it as the speech itself. How much time would be saved if your slide deck took you 5 min to prepare instead of 5 hours.
The problem with Power Point (and other automation tools) is that it makes it so much easier to put together a bad presentation (report, estimate, etc.). Years ago, when slides had to be typed or prepared individually by a graphic artist, then converted to vu-graphs, there was a lot more emphasis on getting the message right before the photo department got it for conversion. Now, anyone can slap together a presentation in minutes and the scrubbing process is, at times, non-existent. We forget that the software is only a tool. Just as Excel doesn't generate a cost estimate without a lot of valid input and logical formulas, Power Point doesn't generate a worthwile presentation without someone developing a logical story line and an appropriate level of explanation and supporting information.
Tufte is on to something - I read his work "The Cognitive Style of Power Point" last year, and found his reasoning compelling. Only afterwards did I realise that I have been guilty of every PPT sin he enumerated.
I have to agree that it is not the PowerPoint that is the problem. Before that it was Overhead Projectors with slides, 35mm slide shows, flip carts...the list goes on. One of the Greatest problems with PowerPoint is the overuse of graphics and distracting backgrounds. Just as with any presentation, know your audience, make the message applicable, know your topic, and stay on point.

Small problem with Seaflash 150
Posted 10 July 2012 - 10:35 PM
The battery cover is very close to the edge of the strobe and acts as an area for water to get trapped that is very difficult to access in order to dry it out. This has to be totally one hundred percent dry in order to remove the cover as any drops of water reaching the battery can cause it to stop working, something that Seacam considers a user error flood. I have tried a number of ways to dry this, and have ended up using tissues to get right into the edge in order to suck up the water, but even then there are still water drops that won't dry unless the strobe is left to dry naturally for a period of time. This means a quick battery change between dives is not really practical. One has to take great care when opening the battery compartment, even when it appears to be totally dry, and have a tissue in hand ready to mop up any small drops that are trapped in the ridges of the threads.
It wouldn't be so much of a problem if the batteries were not so sensitive, however two small drops caused mine to stop working, which Seacam called a user error flood and charged for the repair. Two drops of water can cause any camera, or any sensitive piece of electronics, to stop working if they fall in the right (or wrong) place. That is a given fact. However, the way that the strobe has been designed means that these two drops of water are much more likely to get into that right (or wrong) place than they would do if the design had been a little different.

After you pointing this problem on our recent Red Sea trip, when I opened my Seaflash I opened them with the battery cover facing the floor so any
drops of water caught between the battery cap & shell fall to the floor & thanks for pointing out this problem as it is a very expensive drop of water.
Take Care,

FWIW the other problem associated with underwater flash units and their battery covers is that they are usually assembled in warmer conditions than they are used in. If they are then opened before they have warmed up to the temperature at which they were assembled there is the danger of suction occuring (due to the lower internal battery chamber pressure) and this can drag in any water droplets too. For this reason I have for many years always opened my flash units (all types) after drying (shaking plus tissue paper) with the battery cover facing downwards. My SB105s (still running ok!) are particularly bad in this respect.
I have suggested to Seacam that they add this suggestion to the Seaflash manual in due course so that users are aware of the potential for wet units to get splashed if opened rear upwards whilst still wet and so that it is made clear that there is an appropriate poceedure for removing the battery cap and battery..

As Seacam distributor I'd know if a bunch of batteries are being returned for this issue, but at least in North America we haven't seen it. Did just get one back after a live-aboard that had the battery charging station exposed to the elements in a driving rain on the back deck. More than one battery pack, from various manufacturers, got fried that night.

Many years ago I used a housing which developed an intermittent flash sync problem. It took ages to figure out what the cause was and it was eventually tracked down to one small water droplet (~3mm diameter) which had left a salty residue bridging two tracks on the exposed circuit board used to carry the flash signal. This would stop the flash sync operating at times - presumeably because it never thoroughly dried. One small wipe with a cotton wool bud sorted out the problem which was then solved by varnishing the exposed circuit board. But what it taught me was to be careful about salt water droplets - its not the size so much as the place they manage to fall......
In fact, unlike Paul I am probably a bit too cavalier with mine, and often change on wet boats and don't obsess overly about the water droplets.

Sister Says Minn. Marine Killed In Afghanistan
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The sister of a Minnesota Marine says her brother has been killed in Afghanistan.
JoLyn Means says the Marines told her family Sunday night that her 23-year-old brother, Lance Cpl. Dale Means, was killed by an improvised explosive device in southern Helmand province.
Dale Means was deployed to Afghanistan in July. It was his first tour of duty.
Means graduated from New Prague (praygh) High School in 2007 and married his wife Andrea, also a 2007 New Prague graduate, in October 2011. The couple lived off-base at Camp Lejeune, N.C., where Means was stationed.
Means enlisted in the Marines about two years ago. His sister says he "wanted to do something important in his life."
The Department of Defense has not confirmed his death.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado's junior senator has a new responsibility — helping Democrats maintain their hold on the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Sen. Michael Bennet will chair the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. That from a committee announcement Tuesday. Bennet is a soft-spoken centrist who defied the Republican wave in 2010 and won re-election in a bitter campaign run by the political strategist who is now the DSCC's executive director.
Bennet will be responsible for raising money and helping draw up national strategy for Democratic senators. Bennet will also continue to serve in the Senate. Twenty Democrats are up for re-election in 2014, while 13 Republicans are up. The Democrats include Colorado's senior senator, Mark Udall.
Democrats and the two independents who often vote with them currently hold a 55-45 majority in the Senate.

Irving arrested after 3 decades on run
Lawyer may ask new trial for fugitive rapist Irving
Irving arrested after 3 decades on run
DEDHAM, Mass. —
A judge also ordered Irving's court file released.
A man who eluded justice for decades after being convicted of raping three women in Massachusetts may seek a new trial.
A lawyer for Gary Alan Irving said Friday that he is looking into the case and may file a motion for a new trial.
Irving was captured in Gorham, Maine, last month after fleeing Massachusetts in 1979. He was convicted of three counts of rape and kidnapping, but went on the run after a judge allowed him to return home to make final arrangements before sentencing.
The 52-year-old Irving got married and raised two children in Maine while he was on the run.
A DNA blood sample was taken from Irving following his brief appearance in Norfolk Superior Court Friday.
A judge also ordered Irving's court file released.

Kisses from Katie
A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption
What would cause an eighteen-year-old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disobey and disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother's heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because they think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person and didn't even speak the language?
A passion to follow Jesus.
Katie Davis left over Christmas break of her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people of Uganda and the needs she saw that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of adopting thirteen children in Uganda and has established a ministry, Amazima, that feeds and sends hundreds more to school while teaching them the Word of Jesus Christ.
Kisses from Katie invites readers on a journey of radical love down the red dirt roads of Uganda. You'll laugh and cry with Katie as she follows Jesus into the impossible and finds joy and beauty beneath the dust. Katie and her children delight in saying yes to the people God places in front of them and challenge readers to do the same, changing the world one person at a time.

Agencies need to learn some rules of the road before jumping into social media
With more than 400 million active users worldwide, Facebook has become the first choice for a foray into social media, especially for military organizations. Facebook features more than 1,000 official military fan pages, ranging from small units and recruiting stations all the way to the upper echelons of DOD.
Janson Communications decided to take a look from a fan's perspective at how the military is using Facebook. We reviewed more than 680 pages and divided them into four categories — personality-focused, location-based, organizational and recruiting-oriented — and examined them for best practices.
That holistic approach yielded some interesting results and lessons not only for the military but also for any government organization delving into Facebook (The full report is available here).
Mark It 'Official'
The popularity of the military means there are thousands of fan pages honoring military leaders, units and bases. Many of them look official but have no connection or link to the government. For example, a clone page might use the name "Fort Campbell" when the actual government-run page is "Fort Campbell, Kentucky." Given the proliferation of such fan pages, it is imperative for government site administrators to clearly mark the official pages of their organizations.
Create and Enforce Terms of Use
By its nature, social media creates a freewheeling conversation in which anyone can say whatever they want — often in the most inappropriate ways. That doesn't necessarily mix well with an official government outlet, so agencies need to post rules of engagement prominently on official pages. Only 22 percent of the pages in our study had terms of use for fan behavior, and those that did weren't enforcing them strictly. Such rules are both appropriate and necessary for agencies that operate in social media environments.
Keep the Social in Social Media
During our study period in January, 84 percent of military Facebook pages had no interaction with their fans. Most were simply posting stories or press releases and not answering comments or wall posts from fans. The point of using these channels is to build a community around your organization or base. When you ignore your fans, you miss a great opportunity to gain valuable insight, engage your most passionate supporters and reach out to potential recruits, which is the purpose of social media to begin with.
Don't Let the Page Turn into a Zombie
While gathering information for the study, our research team found a startling number of pages that had never made it past initial setup or had gone inactive for extended periods of time. Like a zombie in a horror movie, those pages never die. They make an organization look foolish and oblivious to the culture of social media. Once you start, stay committed. Don't let the effort die out because the initial manager moves on or the organization as a whole loses interest.
The culture of social media is different from traditional communications channels, and when venturing into that world, government agencies should learn the ways of the community to make the most impact.

Users are called 'friends' not 'fans'on facebook. Such a basic error undermines the message!
Nothing new in this. Same "rules" we have been applying to BBS/forums for eons now.
So these facebook pages are mostly essentially mini-web-pages, and are kept up about as poorly as most of those are? What business need or mission requirement were these answering again? IMHO, aside from recruiting sites and stay-in-touch with family sites, most DOD facebook pages are a solution in search of a problem. If a unit or base or command MUST have a facebook page, put up a static page steering them to the web site. Having both is a useless duplication.
Chris, Great points and all but to be honest the brevity is due to the need to keep the piece under 500 words. Editors are tough characters to beat. The full report is available on our company website for free at www.jansoncom.com. You will see an explanation for some of our assumptions there. We hit a lot of zombies but stopped adding them to our data set because they were giving a false sense of the reality and noted their existence. There is backing data for your other concerns in the 17 page report. We did this on our own and it was not paid for by any client. I personally collected the pages based on looking at whether they were created and run by military units and not fans.
This article troubles me because none of the advice appears to be actually derived from the data at hand.This appears to be the result of some kind of formal research, yet there is little evidence that any organized research or evaluation was undertaken. From the text, here's what I got out of it:Total in Sample 680 "TYPE:" - Personality no data - Location no data - Organizational no data - Recruiting no data Official Markings no data (100%? see (2) below) Terms of Use 22% - Enforcing terms no data "Social in Social:" - Interact with fans? Yes 16% No 84%Zombie Pages "startling number" Here are a few of the questions I asked:1) Is there a formal version of this report (did someone pay for it?)? 2) Are we to assume that "official markings" were the selection criterion to be included in the sample?3) Is there a formal definition of the researched elements? For example, how did we differentiate "personality" from "Organizational," etc.?I am eager to see a larger, more in-depth report on this study.

Thursday's Daily Pulse
What you need to know about Florida today.
Forty percent of Florida small business owners plan to hire
Nearly 40 percent of small business owners plan to hire more employees during the next six months, according to a Florida Chamber of Commerce survey released Wednesday. That's up 7 percent from July 2011. "When four out of five jobs are created by small businesses, this is excellent news," said Tim Giuliani, small business staff director for the Florida Chamber. Only 3 percent said they plan layoffs. Read more from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and the Tampa Bay Business Journal and see survey results from the Florida Chamber of Commerce and PNC Financial Services.
More dine out for the holidays as budgets improve
In a down economy, many South Florida residents observed Passover or Good Friday at home to save money. This year, that may not hold true. Some restaurants in Palm Beach and Broward counties are preparing for what they think will be a busy Friday night out for many Jewish and Catholic families. The two holidays happen to fall on the same day this year. [Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel]
Tampa company looks at end run around new PIP law
A Tampa company has sent fliers to chiropractors suggesting ways to capitalize on potential loopholes in new legislation aimed at denting the runaway fraud plaguing Florida's mandatory motor vehicle no-fault law. The legislation (HB 119) - which hasn't yet reached the governor's desk - still requires all Florida drivers to carry $10,000 in coverage for accident injuries, although it also created a lower ceiling of $2,500 in coverage for non-emergency treatment to cut down on abuses. Florida leads the nation in the number of staged accidents. [Source: AP]
Winter Park Wonderland
Park Avenue, the Rodeo Drive of central Florida, has new glitter, Italian-style. Not the same old veal chop posh; here in Winter Park, the pasta Bolognese is sauced with duck ragu and foie gras butter. Not the same pizza either; the "Widow Maker" is topped with braised kale and a farm egg as well as sausage and cheese. More...

Former Unification Church Member Hopes TLC's 'Mass Moon Wedding' Shows Dangers of 'Ruthless Cult'
One former member of the Unification Church is hoping that TLC's new reality special "Mass Moon Wedding" will shed light on the dangers of cults, especially the Unification Church, which dates back to the 1970s.
The new TLC special, which aired on Sunday, follows three couples as they join 2,000 other brides in travel to South Korea, where the leader of the Unification Church, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, blesses them in their nuptials.
According to Radar Online, Moon, who is seen as a messiah in the sect, believes that by blessing the newlyweds, he is creating a race of sinless children.
"I feel bad for the couples on the show, I wish I could sit down and talk with them and let them know I was one of Father's chosen leaders and that the teachings of the group needs to be examined before they even think of having children as this is not a healthy organization," Steven Hassan, a licensed mental health counselor and former member of the Unification Church, told Radar Online.
"Young people who have been burned by the dating scene may think this could be a really cool way to meet someone who doesn't use drugs and who cares about the world," Hassan said. "I think a lot of people would love the idea of someone who they believe has higher awareness to choose their perfect mate. That's what I believed. Instead they would get an indoctrinated member of a ruthless cult."
Hassan, who is the author of Combating Cult Mind Control, told Radar Online that he was recruited into the Unification Church in the 1970s and only left the church after his family staged an intervention in 1976.
In the special's premiere on Sunday, Elisa, a 22-year-old psychology major from Kent, England, talked about the strict nature of the Unification Church as she prepared to be wed at Moon's mass wedding.
"Of course, we believe [Rev. Moon] is the Messiah, so to be blessed by him in his lifetime is… not everyone would get that chance in history. I feel privileged and very excited," she explained to Radar Online.
"This church has really strict rules – no sex before marriage, no smoking, no drugs. I am still a virgin and it certainly was tough at school, I think for a long time a lot of my friends assumed I was a lesbian because I didn't have a boyfriend when they did," she added.
The Unification Church, which dates back to its 1954 origins in South Korea but now has an international following, has often been criticized as being a cult guilty of using brainwashing methods.
The mass weddings, in particular, have sparked public concern as often the couples undergo an arranged marriage, orchestrated by their parents.
Members of the Unification Church have been referred to as "Moonies" due to their allegiance to the Rev. Moon. Additionally, according to the tenets of their faith, one must be married to in the Unification Church to enter heaven.
The Unification Church uses Christian terminology in defining its doctrines, but their meanings are distinctly different.
A prmotional clip of TLC's "Mass Moon Wedding" was made available online.

For Immediate Release: June 8, 2009
Commissioner Davy Announces 2009-10 County Teachers of the Year
New Jersey's annual search for the State Teacher of the Year has moved to the next level with Commissioner of Education Lucille E. Davy's announcement of the 21 County Teachers of the Year and the State Facility Teacher of the Year.
The portfolios of the talented teachers, which include a Teacher of the Year application and a 15-minute DVD, will be evaluated by a state-level panel of educators who will recommend finalists to be interviewed in September.
"Our approach to participating in the National Teacher of the Year Program actually allows us to recognize and celebrate the talent and accomplishments of hundreds of teachers in New Jersey," Commissioner Davy said. "The selection process begins at the grassroots, with locally selected school and district teachers of the year. This approach matches the spirit of the competition, which is intended to lead to the selection of one teacher who symbolizes exemplary qualities found in many excellent teachers who work in our schools.
"I congratulate our county winners and the state facility winner and look forward to introducing our new state teacher of the year in October," Commissioner Davy said.
The county level selections were made by panels representing a cross-section of administrators, teachers, parents and county education association representatives convened by the executive county superintendents of schools.
New Jersey's State Teacher of the Year serves as an ambassador for the profession by:
The State Teacher of the Year (STOY) receives a six-month sabbatical from January through June from his or her teacher assignment in order to fulfill the STOY role, and also assumes the following responsibilities:
New Jersey's current Teacher of the Year is Jeanne M. Muzzi, a first-grade teacher at the Ben Franklin School in Lawrenceville, Mercer County.
Please see the attached list of New Jersey's 2009-10 County Teachers of the Year and State Facility Teacher of the Year.

SUNY NY-Alert
What is it?
The University at Albany is one of many State University campuses that has adopted an emergency messaging service offered through the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) and the State University of New York (SUNY).
The system will allow the University at Albany to communicate on matters of CRITICAL EMERGENCIES with all members of the University community who sign up for this service.
The system allows e-mail, phone and text messages to be sent automatically to all members of the campus community who have provided their contact information.
How to Sign Up
You can sign up for this service by logging on to MyUAlbany and choosing "SUNY NY-Alert Emergency contact Info". Registered students and current Faculty and Staff are eligible to sign up this way.-
If you choose to receive the alerts, you must provide at least one e-mail address. You may also provide a cell phone number and provider to receive text message alerts and a phone number, either cell or land line, to receive voice alerts.
An enrollee can register up to 3 phone numbers, and the system will try each number up to 3 times. This means that the system will try to call the enrollee up to a maximum of 9 times. When a call is answered, and the person answering presses a number (to confirm they are not an answering machine), the system will consider the enrollee contacted and attempt to remove the other registered numbers from the calling queue. Depending on circumstances, this means that not all registered numbers for an enrollee will necessarily be called. We advise that you list your most-used number for text messaging and/or your most-used number for voice messages.

We didn't expect to see Samsung Galaxy TabPro S tablet at CES 2016 but the surprising tablet is coming. Usually, Samsung Company is recognized for Android devices, but TabPro S tablet runs Window 10. Let's converse about the tablet, its specifications and features that make table more interesting and unique as compared to previous Galaxy tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S tablet is another plastic piece of the company, but it is well finished once again. The tablet is flat from back side which is made from apathetic plastic but it will be covered by keyboard cover that comes with the tablet. The keyboard comes with big track pad which is too deprived for use in reality because small track pads are really great for work. The keyboard is not that much impressive so we expect that third parties will appear to serve in a better way. All in all overall design of the tablet is great and looks nice which can easily appeal to Samsung fans.
Well, as per as specifications concern is, the specifications of the tablet are admirable. The tablet features 12-inch 2160x1440 resolution on top of the Super AMOLED technology. It means that we will get same stunning images that we can expect from Samsung displays.The Galaxy TabPro S is powered by Intel Core M dual core 2.2GHz, it has 4GB of RAM, up to 256GB of SSD, and comes with 5MP cameras on the back.
The tablet runs Windows 10 which makes the device more sensible than Android OS. Thanks to Windows 10 the screen performs nicely, its animations make it more fluid, so performance is excellent. Some other accessories like multiport adapter and Bluetooth Pen are also available to buy separately and use with the tablet.
The tablet comes with great features that are absolutely missing in previous Galaxy tablets. One worthy feature is that tablet can be synced with your phone. Samsung enhanced security and it lets users to connect device with tablet and use fingerprint scanner and to secure the both devices. To use the feature, users have to pair both devices together with NFC and then use the sensor open up both.
Another amazing feature of the tab is that you can get your mobile messages on the tablet as well, it is combination of nice feature if you have got both together.
Till date, assuming price is not known because Samsung didn't utter a single word against the price tag of the tablet. Whereas, Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a better option to replace bulky laptops from tables.

Organic coconut oil is a healthy, delicious real food that is made almost entirely of saturated fat. One tablespoon gets its entire 120 calories from fat. Of those 14 grams of fat, 12 are saturated.
That saturated fat is what causes professional busy bodies like the Center for Science in the Public Interest to freak out over the coconut oil in products like movie theater popcorn. Part of the problem is that people still cling to the myth that fat in your diet becomes fat on your body, despite the fact that fat storage is primarily regulated by hormones. The other persistent myth is that saturated fat will clog your arteries and kill you because it is solid at "room temperature." Ironically, people making this claim will often point to solid fats like Crisco and margarine that are actually full of hydrogenated vegetable oils as evidence that natural saturated fat is bad for you.
Since I've been avoiding vegetable oils and eating a lot of natural saturated fat I've seen a dramatic improvement in my cholesterol ratios. The idea that fat will travel directly from your digestive system to your arteries where it will sit around and clog them up is based on a very dumbed-down view of how the body operates. And even if it was that simple, it would still defy common sense.
The temperature this afternoon was in the high 80s; about 10 degrees cooler than inside a human being's arteries. So I left a jar of coconut oil sitting on my back patio for a couple hours. It might have been solid at the "room temperature" in my pantry, but the high 80s was enough heat to make it totally liquid. Meanwhile, the day that the blood in your body reaches a "room temperature" in the 70s is the day that you will never again worry about what to eat anyway.

UNEP related information
A thematic portal to Climate change with links to substantive work and information resources regarding climate change.
UNEP has worked on capacity building and awareness related to the CDM since it was originally defined in the Kyoto Protocol.
With the international framework for the CDM presently under development, many complex legal, financial and technical issues still require further discussion. Under these circumstances, most developing countries with limited institutional capacity will face a significant challenge in taking a pro-active approach to participate as equal and reliable partners in CDM when it becomes operational.
Reflecting the needs of developing countries, UNEP implemented a 4-year project on Capacity Development for the CDM with funding from the government of the Netherlands.

There perhaps are two ways to think about the Internet — before and after Facebook. By now you know the story. (Hell, they made a movie about it.) Some Harvard students create a site to rank girls. It expands into a larger network of collegians, and Facebook in its early form required a college .edu email address to join. In 2006, it opened up to anyone age 13 and older.
Fast forward a few years and many billions of dollars, and Facebook is now a publicly traded company. Co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is one of the youngest billionaires in the world, along with co-founder Dustin Moskovitz (who's younger by all of eight days). Facebook is how we keep in touch. How we stalk our former high school classmates. How potential employers check out potential hires. How news organizations and public entities get the word out. How we play games. How we share photos and video. How we forget how to have real relationships with actual people. It's how we log into other websites, using our Facebook credentials.
Like it or not, Facebook, in the span of a decade, became one of the most important online properties we've ever known.
Will it continue to be so in another 10 years? We'll have to see. But for now, there's no escaping it.

The Lady Railsplitters tested ETSU in game two rallying from as many as five points down to tie the score at 28. Trailing 29-28, the Lady Bucs took control and won the next three points, claiming the 31-29 win. Kiselich recorded a kill to put the Lady Bucs ahead, 30-29, on an assist from Jennifer Emerson (
"When we were down in game two, and saw the potential for LMU to win, everyone had the utmost confidence in each other and really pulled together to win the game," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "I think winning five straight coming into today played a big part in that confidence."
In a balanced offensive attack, Sarah Buhr (
"I just can't say enough about our team effort," said Devine. "We really worked as a unit and that's something we've been working on in practice all year, and it's really becoming evident in our game play."
Scandiffio's .615 hitting percentage was tops on the team, with Sartor at .417, and Kiselich at .385. Mislan also swung well, hitting .381. The Lady Bucs tallied .344 on the day while holding LMU to .197. Buhr was ETSU's top server, recording three serving aces.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling battling cancer: Report
Disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is battling cancer and has been for a long time, according to the New York Post.
"They thought he would die two years ago," a source told The Post of Sterling, who Tuesday was banned for life by the NBA and fined $2.5 million for racist remarks.
"People have been predicting his imminent demise," the source said, noting some of the medication Sterling has been taking has caused his face to appear puffy.
Another source told The Post that the 80-year-old Sterling was suffering from prostate cancer.
A decade ago, the billionaire owner refused to pay for prostate cancer surgery for then-Clippers assistant coach Kim Hughes.
"I contacted the Clippers about medical coverage and they said the surgery wouldn't be covered," Hughes told The Journal Times in 2011.
"They said if they did it for one person, they'd have to do it for everybody else."
Four Clippers players ended up paying for the $70,000 procedure.
