From Wikipedia: Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made in the presence of a reducing flame. The finished product can take a smooth polish and be carved into beads, figurines, or other artifacts suitable for semiprecious stone, and in fact goldstone is often mistaken or misrepresented as a natural material.
The most common form of goldstone appears to be reddish-brown, due to the presence of tiny crystals of metallic copper. When the reduced goldstone melt cools, the copper remains in atomic isolation and precipitates into small crystalline clusters which reflect light through the surrounding transparent or translucent glass, rendering the final product effectively opaque. (Under normal oxidative conditions, copper ions meld into the silica to produce transparent bluish-green glass.) Some goldstone variants have an intensely-colored glass matrix—- usually blue or violet, more rarely green—- and a more silvery appearance to the suspended crystals, whose color may be partially masked by the glass, or which may be based on different metals (perhaps cobalt, manganese, or chromium).
The manufacturing process for goldstone was discovered in seventeenth-century Venice by the Miotti family, which was granted an exclusive license by the Doge. Persistent folklore attributes the discovery and secret of goldstone to an unnamed Italian monastic order, giving rise to the alternate names "monk's gold" or "monkstone". Another name, "stellaria", is based on the starry internal reflections. It is also called "sun sitara".
Curiously, goldstone is one of the few cases where a synthetic simulant provided the eponym for the similar natural stones. The original Italian name for goldstone is "avventurina" or some similar word or phrase indicating its accidental discovery, hence the mineral name "aventurine" for forms of feldspar or quartz with mica inclusions that give a similar glittering appearance. The technical term for this optical phenomenon, "aventurescence", is also derived from the same source. Yet another name for goldstone is "aventurine glass", but this should be discouraged to avoid confusion with the minerals.

- Definition
Cystosarcoma phyllodes (CSP) is a rare, predominantly benign tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the female breast; Its name is derived from the Greek words sarcoma, meaning fleshy tumor, and phyllo, meaning leaf; Grossly, the tumor displays characteristics of a large malignant sarcoma, takes on a leaflike appearance when sectioned, and displays epithelial cystlike spaces when viewed histologically (hence the name); Because most tumors are benign, the name may be misleading; Thus, the favored terminology is now phyllodes tumor; Pathophysiology: Phyllodes tumor is the most commonly occurring nonepithelial neoplasm of the breast but represents only about 1% of tumors in the breast; It has a sharply demarcated smooth texture and is typically freely movable; It is a relatively large tumor, and the average size is 5 cm; However, lesions more than 30 cm in size have been reported; In the US: No difference in phyllodes tumor frequency appears to exist between patients from the United States and patients from other countries; Phyllodes tumors comprise less than 1% of all breast neoplasms;
Mortality/Morbidity: About 90% of phyllodes tumors are benign and about 10% are malignant; The benign tumors, although they will not metastasize, do have a tendency to grow aggressively and recur locally; The malignant tumors metastasize hematogenously similar to other sarcomas; Unfortunately, the pathologic appearance does not always predict the clinical behavior, so there is always some uncertainty about the classification of some cases; Recurrent malignant tumors seem to be more aggressive than the original tumor; The lungs are the most common metastatic site, followed by the skeleton, heart, and liver; Symptoms from metastatic involvement may arise from a few months to as late as 12 years after initial therapy; Most patients with metastases die within 3 years of initial treatment; No cures for systemic metastases exist; Roughly 30% of patients with malignant phyllodes tumors die from the disease; Race: A racial predilection does not appear to exist; Sex: Phyllodes tumors occur almost exclusively in females; Rare case reports have been described in males; Age: Phyllodes tumors can occur in people of any age; however, the median age is the fifth decade of life; Some juvenile fibroadenomas in teenagers can look histologically like phyllodes tumors, but they behave in a benign fashion similar to other fibroadenomas; --------------[EMedicine website 2007]-------------Median age 54 year old female

Hey BFers. I'm trying to rebuild my running base while at the same time getting fitter on the bike. Running I don't care about getting faster/better, I just want a slow steady base built up for the fall/winter, when I will transition into more running.
20 miles a week for running is my goal.
I work M, W, F, from 10-7, Saturdays 9-6, Tuesdays 10-5, Fridays and Sundays off.
Here is a tentative schedule:
M: Off
T: AM Jog of 3.5
PM B+ group ride at 6pm, 35-40 miles at 19-21 ave (though this will get faster/longer over the summer)
W: AM Easy spin of 20/25 miles
PM jog of 3.5
Th: AM laps/intervals 30 miles or so
F: AM Long run (10-14 miles)
PM I lead a beginner C ride (15mph ave) at 6pm for 25 miles or so
Sat: AM Sustained effort ride of 25/30 miles (solo 18mph ave hopefully)
Sunday: This is my day for a looong bike ride, length more important than speed (60-100 miles)
Too much? Do I have things spaced out evenly enough that with proper nutrition and fueling I can make this happen? I feel like Friday may be too much before Saturday and Sunday, but then again, it's not like I'm running fast at ALL (10/11 minute mile).
Thoughts/Help appreciated!!

5 tips to being forever young
The Star/Asia News Network
By Dr Nor Ashikin Mokhtar
A healthy ageing system encompasses the entire body system so that a person can age well from the inside out.
We are entering an unprecedented era worldwide, where many countries, have increasing numbers of their population reaching old age and fewer babies being born.
We are all going to live longer, there is no doubt about it.
But wouldn't you like to reach old age without actually looking or feeling your age? Wouldn't it be great if you could still perform at your peak, be in good shape and enjoy great health?
The ageing process affects your entire body, from every cell within to your outward appearance. However, the ageing process can be slowed down or tempered so that we can still enjoy our later years.
It is not just about fighting wrinkles and grey hair, but also about maintaining our organ functions, staying mentally active and physically strong.
The right way to address ageing is not with piecemeal methods - an injection here, a supplement there - but to approach the entire body system, so that you can age well from the inside out.

Just recently picked up this Peugeot P20. Been wanting a folder for awhile since I sometimes have to go out of town for work and have to do so with a company rig, better to bike to bars and pubs than drive (or at the very least better to keep my bosses truck out of impound). But I got it running and it's a fun quick ride and not as nearly as twitchy as I thought it would be, felt kind of like a little kid on it since it's a snap to do wheelies on.
Features Sturmey Archer AW (dated 8/87)
some K-rappy rattle can over rust on parts complete with over spray on other parts. Rust is bad but rattlecan over rust is horrid.
Missing rear fender
Perhaps unorginal cottered cranks (I've found two catalog pics online with different cranks from year to year)
25mm handlebar (arg)
70 mm BB (sticker on the BB says made in Itally.
20x1.75 Alloy Rims (might try going 1 3/8)
Wienmann brakes
lets not forget the kids Mountain bike tires (those are going soon too).
Only work I've done at the time of the pics was removing the chain guard and grips (and replaced the rear tube for a test ride. For once I remembered to do project shots before starting the project. Cleaned the paint off the the chain guard and stem and am hopeful the acid bath will remove it all (fingers crossed/it'll be close).
Got it cheap with a rear flat and a "broken" (and by broken I mean poorly adjusted by someone that didn't know how to adjust it) IGH hub.
Thinking I'm gunna build it up as a folding Clubman style bike, if i can find some decent and cheap drop bars for it (of course 25mm makes the cheap part harder). Probably gunna do a repaint too, since I just got some pro equipment for such work and I'm itching to paint something and I don't really like the Peugeot blue/black very much.

The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim rallied back after being down by a goal late in the third period Saturday to claim a 3-2 win over the Red Wings and stretch their lead in the first-round playoff series to two games.
Down 2-1 with 6:26 remaining in the third, Anaheim forward Jason Krog skated in on top of Detroit goalie Curtis Joseph and beat him to tie the game.
Just over two minutes later, after a botched breakout pass by Chris Chelios, Rob Neidermayer sent the puck to Steve Thomas, who skated in alone and blasted a shot past Joseph, giving the Ducks the lead.
Anaheim had taken an early lead on a goal by Stanislav Chistov but Detroit battled back in the second periond.
Just 2:14 into the second, Jason Woolley picked up a rebound and ripped it past Mighty Ducks' goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Four minutes later, Luc Robitaille knocked a fluttering puck down behind Giguere to give the Wings the lead.
Giguere kept the Mighty Ducks in the game, making several key stops and giving the team a rest while he dealt with a long "equipment problem" similar to the incident when he was "shaken up" in Game One. Giguere finished with thirty-four saves.
Joseph made twenty saves on twenty-three shots in net for Detroit.
Game Three will be on Monday night in Anaheim.

This Broccoli Cheddar Turkey Egg Bowl meets all the criteria for great nutrition, incredible flavor and ease of preparation. Prepared with frozen broccoli florets, defrosted, these are quick to make and quick to disappear.
I put these in the microwave for 30-60 seconds with plastic wrap over the bowl and they are perfect. Add a glass of orange juice and you have a well balanced breakfast and powerful start to your day!
Broccoli Cheddar Turkey Egg Bowl serves 4
16 egg whites
4 cups frozen broccoli florets, defrosted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
16 slices deli turkey (I used land o lakes 60 calories/4 slices)
non-stick olive oil spray
1 cup 2% shredded cheddar jack cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Preheat oven to 400°. Prepare (4) 2-cup oven safe bowls by placing them on a baking sheet and spraying each bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Place 4 slices of turkey in each bowl, overlapping to make a bowl. Each slice will extend above the bowl slightly.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk egg whites, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add 1 cup of broccoli to each cup. Divide egg mixture between the bowls.
Place tray in the center of the oven and bake for 22 minutes until center is set (not wiggly). Remove from oven and add 1/4 cup cheese to the top of each egg bowl. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. You can serve the Broccoli Cheddar Turkey Egg Bowl on a plate or right inside the bowl it was cooked it.

Opposition to new science standards in South Dakota?
A South Dakota state senator dislikes a proposed new set of state science standards, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader (November 18, 2014). At a November 17, 2014, public hearing — the second of four — on the standards, Phil Jensen (R-District 33) expressed concern about the treatment of evolution and climate change.

"McGraw-Hill, the second-largest educational publisher in the world, has removed key passages from a proposed Texas textbook that cast doubt on climate science," reports the National Journal (November 17, 2014).
RNCSE 34:6 now on-line
NCSE is pleased to announce that the latest issue of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on-line.
Progress in Texas
"Climate scientists can breathe a bit easier," the National Journal (November 13, 2014) reports. "Pearson Education — the largest educational publisher in the world — has cut material from a proposed Texas social-studies textbook that cast doubt on the human causes of global warming."
The latest from Texas
The pressure on the Texas board of education to require the correction of errors in the coverage of climate change in social studies textbooks presently under consideration continues.
Update from Scotland
The Public Petitions Committee of the Scottish Parliament heard testimony supporting the proposed ban on teaching creationism as scientifically credible in Scotland's public schools on November 11, 2014, according to the Press Association (November 11, 2014). The committee agreed to write to the Scottish government, the Educational Institute of Scotland, the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association and the Association of Headteachers and Deputes in Scotland to receive their views on the matter.
"Texas textbooks need to get the facts straight"
Writing in the Austin American-Statesman (November 6, 2014), Camille Parmesan and Alan I. Leshner called on the Texas state board of education to insist on the correction of scientifically inaccurate material about climate change in social studies textbooks currently under consideration for state adoption. "Texas educators should reject the new textbooks unless they are edited to address the serious concerns outlined by the National Center for Science Education," they argued.

NCSE is delighted to congratulate Jay Labov on being named as a Honorary Member of the National Association of Biology Teachers.

Tareq Salahi Spotted with Manhattan Madam Kristin Davis
September 25, 2011 10:30 AM by Jackie Morrison
First Michaele Salahi ran off with Journey guitarist Neil Schon. Now her soon-to-be ex-husband Tareq Salahi was spotted with notorious Manhattan madam Kristin Davis at her birthday party on September 23 in New York. The celebration was held at the Hotel Chantelle as a benefit for cancer. The former star of The Real Housewives of DC has been making the rounds of several news shows to insist that his wife's actions are not a publicity stunt but that he wished it was.
Kristin Davis, not to be confused with the actress from Sex and the City, worked as an escort-service operator. She claims to have supplied "dates" to people like former Governor Eliot Spitzer who was caught with call girl Ashley Dupre. The self-titled Manhattan Madam has served a four month sentence for prostitution and is determined to reform her reputation. Her first attempt at an image revamp is her charity, Hope House, which provides social services for women.
Tareq Salahi has been outspoken about being heartbroken over his wife's abandonment. He has since filed for divorce and told Matt Lauer that he believes her celebrity ambitions are behind the behavior.

Baily's beads, arc of bright spots seen during total and annular eclipses of the Sun. They are named for Francis Baily, an English astronomer, who called attention to them after seeing them during an annular eclipse on May 15, 1836. Just before the Moon's disk covers the Sun, the narrow crescent of sunlight may be broken in several places by irregularities (mountains and valleys) on the edge of the Moon's disk; the resulting array of spots roughly resembles a string of beads.

In pursuit of the ideal paint: 5 tips from paint expert Annie Sloan
I've always wanted to create a bespoke desk in my home office. So, I recently bought two old iron Singer sewing machine table bases and painted them in a black Hammerite paint to disguise the rust. But that's where I got stuck. You see, I'd been looking for the perfect shade of grey to paint the two-metre worktop that would be my desktop. I searched high and low but my hunt was in vain. That was however until I discovered Annie Sloan's newest paint collection.
Annie Sloane has been painting for over 40 years. She originally studied fine art but soon turned to decorative painting after graduating from university. She went on to write 'The Complete Book of Decorative Paint Techniques' and has now written over 20 books on traditional paints, colours and techniques.
Unable to find the paints that she wanted to work with herself, she turned her knowledge of colour, paint, pigments and art history into developing her own Chalk Paint range back in 1990. Since then her paint collection has gone from strength to strength and today there are 29 beautiful colours to choose from. She also has a range of vintage inspired fabrics, which are equally eye catching.
The newest paint collection 'Antoinette' is so pretty. It features a soft 'Plaster' pink – one of this season's hottest colours. There's also Original – a warm, slightly creamy soft white - and French Linen - a cool neutral khaki grey. And there you have it. My perfect grey!
From my experience the paint is really easy to apply and dries much quicker than conventional paint. A litre tin will cover around 13 square metres, which means I can now paint my kitchen table and French Armoire as the desk turned out so well!
As soon as I discovered this shade of grey, I got in touch with Annie Sloan herself to find out more about her range and pick up a few painting tips along the way. Here she shares her top tips on how to get the best from your paint:
1. Make sure you use the right paint for the job. The paint needs to be responsive to allow you to work in a practical flexible way. Our Chalk Paints can be used in a variety of ways – for example, as a wash, with or without texture, or applied thickly. For the most part, with Annie Sloan paint you only need to apply one coat, but where two coats are necessary, apply the first one with a large brush.
2. Working with a good palette of colours is important, as is being able mix them. I use a palette of ready mixed neutrals with stronger colours, working on the premise that you can lighten strong colours but cannot make a light colour strong. Our colours can be lightened with Old White or you can use Country Grey to give a colour a little complexity. Waxes can change a colour as well, so you need to take this into consideration when you are applying your chosen paint.
3. Find a good brush. I find that working with a brush that is a mix of synthetic and bristle is the best. The hairs should be fairly long and flexible with a little bounce to allow you to be expressive with your work.
4. Wax on, wax off! I wax more or less everything I paint to get the right finish for my furniture and walls. I find it makes my projects strong and practical and gives them a beautiful workable finish. I recommend you use a wax that is soft and can easily be applied with a small brush. If you want to get the job done quickly and are feeling confident, you can use a larger brush. After adding a layer of clear wax you can choose to apply a dark wax to change the colour, or add paint to the clear wax to alter the finish.
5. Think about the finish and texture. For a distressed look you need to be able to sand the waxed surface to reveal the wood or another coat of paint – use a selection of fine, medium and coarse grade sandpapers for this purpose. Have a good supply of cloths to hand so you can wipe brushes, polish wax, apply and wipe off paint, and generally use them to clean.

The Mississippi Supreme Court has heard arguments about where a special election for Trent Lott's old U.S. Senate seat should appear on the ballot this fall.
Justices gave no indication when they might rule.
Attorneys for Gov. Haley Barbour, a Republican, argued Wednesday that Barbour followed state law in putting the special election near the bottom of the Nov. 4 ballot.
An attorney for Democratic election commissioner, Trudy Berger of Pike County, contended that Barbour ignored a 2000 law that specifies that federal races should be at the top of the ballot.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said Wednesday he has followed the law in proposing the placement of the special election on the ballot, as did former Democratic secretary of state, Eric Clark, and others before him.
"This is a blatant political attack on Mississippi voters, claiming they are incompetent to complete a ballot on computerized voting machines," said Hosemann. "It insinuates that even when alerted three times, a Mississippi voter would skip over a race on the ballot, when in the last gubernatorial election, about 99% of voters cast a ballot in the entire slate of Statewide candidates."
Republican Roger Wicker and Democrat Ronnie Musgrove are running in the special election.

I did manage to download the entire Halo trailer (185Mb) on my dial up 56k connection, which I was pretty proud of.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
I'm 36, I majored in Photomedia at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney a few years ago. I now work full-time on my own screen based art and survive on the odd, occasional day of freelance web-design work for a number of Arts based organisations in Australia.
Please list 3 of your favourite sites.
I'm trying to learn Japanese so +9 Zaku is my current design portal of choice and as a Lightwave devotee I couldn't survive without Flay or CG Channel.
What do you do for inspiration?
The biggest hit for me is listening to music or a visit to the local bookshop, which in my case is Ariel, a famous institution on Oxford street. A lot of the work I do is tedious and boring, but then there will be the occasional moment of inspiration and everything falls into place. I'm always looking for new ideas, a fresh perspective, new ways of looking at the world around me.
What software couldn't you live without?
Lightwave, Photoshop, Flash, eeerrr this is my life-blood. There's other stuff I need and don't have like Director, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, but these will just have to wait until that next big job comes in.
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
This is a scary question. I would hate to think in terms of websites. I just ended a 14 year relationship with my girlfriend, I guess that must count for something.
Maybe my 'Untitled Erection', which I built out of rubble and crap as a monument to fascism, near Hitler's Bunker in Postdammer Platz, on a trip to Berlin in 1995. Needless to say it only lasted a few hours but I thought it was a fitting tribute.
Also, I did manage to download the entire Halo trailer (185Mb) on my dial up 56k connection, which I was pretty proud of.
What projects do you have in the pipeline?
I've just finished a site for the Australian Centre for Photography, called 'Photographica Australis'. It was part of this years ARCO exhibition in Madrid and features the work of 16 contemporary Australian artists.
There is a possible interview for a Japanese magazine called +81, and I will be continuing work on my Lustbot site, but to be honest I'm not entirely sure of what comes next.
What effect on traffic do your new designs have?
Since my latest rebuild, traffic has dropped by about 50%. 'Onward and Upward!' :-)
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
I don't get out much. I've heard of the big names, like: Deepend, Tomato and The Attik etc. But they're just names to me, I really have no idea as to what they do or how they rate.
Who is your target audience?
That's a point of confusion for me. I'm getting deeper into 3D, though I'm not really interested in the usual 3D fare, (ie spaceships and robots) and although I work in the area of design, I come from a Fine Arts background so I'm not really sure where I fit, in the grander scheme of things.
What area of web design lacks the most?
I'm always inspired by sites that have something to say. I think a lot of designers are lacking a voice to express some kind of message, idea or attitude.
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
I started a Tripod site in 98 called 'Receptacle'. My lecturer thought the title was a bit dodgy. I seem to remember spinning globes, drop shadows, horizontal rules, centred pages of text. It was the year I discovered the joy of javascripted rollovers and animated gifs. Thankfully it's been put to death. But then maybe I'll feel the same way about my current work in four years time.
Have you written any books, if not do you plan to?
I've had some of my photographic work published in journals, such as Photofile, and I've written on web based art. Though as far as I know, none of the CG work or images from my website has ever made it to print.
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you spend on it? Is it still online?
I did spend quite a bit of time trying to simulate Particle Effects in Flash with varying degrees of success. But like most of my work, it invariable ends up in the trash. I'm not a programmer so building a flash based guestbook using PHP was a bit of a blast for me. It is currently still online, at Suture Net.
How have you learned so many Flash/design skills and techniques and can you offer any advice for newbies?
Getting started is pretty basic. Download source files from sites like Flashkit, pull them apart, see how they work and look for ways of improving the code. You might need a copy of Flash Typer if you're on a Mac.
Do as many tutorials as you can possibly bear, read the manuals and join one of the many support forums. It's all about dedication really. On a more advanced level, think about how you can apply the technology and think about what you would like it to do, rather than just what you know it can do.
What type of overcoat do you wear when Flashing, basically are you a labels man?
Oh you got me there, I don't wear much in the way of clothes. I've just spent the last four months in Boxer shorts. It's been way too hot in Sydney.

Hi, I am 29yrs old.I'm 5'9 123lbs athletic build. I am looking at getting 325 cc silicone implants,but am questioning under or over the muscle.I'm going for a natural look because I model.I wear a 34 c but look like a b.
Under or over the Muscle For Natural Appearance on Athletic Body?
Doctor Answers 8
Breast Implant Positioning for Athletic Patient?
Although patients who have breast implants placed in the sub muscular ( or dual plane) position may experience more discomfort during recovery, I still think it is in your best interests (and that of most patients seeking breast augmentation surgery) to have implants placed in the "dual plane" sub muscular position. This positioning allows for more complete coverage of the breast implants leading to generally more natural feel/look of the implants in the long-term. This position will also decrease the potential for rippling and/or palpability of the implants (which may increase with time, weight loss, and/or post-pregnancy changes).
The submuscular positioning also tends to interfere with mammography less so than in the sub glandular position. The incidence of breast implant encapsulation (capsular contraction) is also decreased with implants placed in the sub muscular position.
I hope this helps.

Breast implants for an athletic body
The question we would ask is do you have an athletic build, or are you athletic and competative. We do favor submuscular placement for most as implants have better coverage and a softer upper edge, However submuscular implants in an athlete can suffer from motion when the chest muscle is flexed, and create a problem for you. Both can look very good, just trade-offs to consider with your surgeon.
Web reference: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com
Breast Augmentation Above or Below Muscle
Most implants placed under the muscle are really in two planes (dual plane approach) because the lowest portion of the breast implant is not covered by muscle. I believe that this is the preferred approach for a thin, athletic build because there is usually not enough body fat to cover the implant. The only disadvantage is that the implant is visible for the brief period that the pecoralis major muscle is contracting during weight training with this muscle. Other advantages, including beter long-term support more than outweigh this one issue.

Submuscular Placement May Be Better For Your Breast Augmentation
Web reference: https://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/
Sub-pectoral placement is the way to go for most patients
Hi there-
I personally believe that unless you are a competitive body builder, it is in your long term best interests to have your implants placed under your pectorals muscle, despite the possibility that this will cause some motion deformity with contraction of your pec muscles. The benefits simply outweigh this small and uncommon drawback for the vast majority of patients, especially if you are interested in a more natural appearance.
Please be aware, however, that once of the greatest errors you could make is to investigate and shop for a procedure you think you want, and then find a surgeon willing to do it on you... Your chances of being safe and ending up happy with your outcome and experience will be significantly higher if you instead spend your time and energy finding the very best surgeon you can (based on education, training, experience, talent, and outcomes), and THEN worrying about the details of the procedure.
If you choose a great surgeon, you will find that the other details will more easily fall into place.
Web reference: http://www.DrArmandoSoto.com
Breast Augmentation in the Athletic
You said you have an "athletic build, but did not say whether you were athletic. Assuming you are, then you should get the silicone implants on top of the muscle. In an athletic person breast implants below the muscle are deformed by arm use and have a higher rupture and dislodgement rate. You should also get a medium or lower profile to give you the most natural look.
Breast Augmentation over Muscle or under Muscle
Breast augmentation can be performed with implants placed over the muscle (subglandular) or under the muscle (submuscular). Different surgeons have different preferences. For the majority of patients submuscular placement of implants have advantages that include better implant coverage especially in thin patients with little breast tissue and there is also a reduced risk of capsular contracture which is increased breast firmness or hardness.

The woman who ran Gov. Jeb Bush's technology office for nearly three years has gone to work for a company she once awarded a $126 million contract.
State auditors later concluded that contract may have been bid illegally.
Kim Bahrami resigned her state position in February and began working last month at BearingPoint.
The Virginia-based technology company is under scrutiny by the state in a review of contract concerns at the technology office and the state's social services agency.
The state technology office is responsible for purchasing and leasing information technology services for state agencies. The office also is supposed to make sure various agencies don't duplicate technology costs and manages the state's website, MyFlorida.com.

We're only five days into the new year and it would appear there is no shortage of stories that might leave you shaking your head in amazement.
I came a cross this little gem today that I thought I would share with you. A federal appeals court has ruled that imprisoned felons should be allowed to vote in Washington state to ensure that racial minorities are protected under the Voting Rights Act.
Tuesday's 2-1 ruling by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the 2000 ruling of a district judge in Spokane. That judge had ruled that state law did not violate the act, and dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former prison inmate from Bellevue.
The two appellate judges ruled that disparities in the state's justice system "cannot be explained in race-neutral ways." A spokeswoman says state Attorney General Rob McKenna is weighing the state's next step.
The question really seems to be simple. Should imprisoned felons be allowed to vote? Race, it would seem, shouldn't be a factor here. Either imprisoned felons can vote or they can't. It has historically been the law of the land that they cannot.

"…as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith.'"
Romans 1:17b
Every year around this time people in the church resume a long-standing debate which centers on the following question: Should Christians celebrate this day or not? I, for one, think the answer is obvious. Of course we should celebrate it! Christians have more reason to celebrate this day than any other group of people on earth. The only problem is that far too few of us know the reason why.
Today is Reformation Day, and if we had ever experienced how dark life was in the church before this significant event took place, we'd never allow October 31st to slip by without praising God for His mercy. Nearly 500 years ago on this date, God used a monk named Martin Luther to change the course of history…
At the time, few would have suspected that the sound of a hammer striking the castle church door in Wittenberg, Germany, would soon be heard around the world and lead ultimately to the greatest transformation of Western society since the apostles first preached the Gospel throughout the Roman empire. Martin Luther's nailing of his ninety-five theses to the church door on October 31, 1517, provoked a debate that culminated finally in what we now call the Protestant Reformation…
Martin Luther…became the center of a great controversy after his theses were copied and distributed throughout Europe. Initially protesting the pope's attempt to sell salvation, Luther's study of Scripture soon led him to oppose the church of Rome on issues including the primacy of the Bible over church tradition and the means by which we are found righteous in the sight of God.
This last issue is probably Luther's most significant contribution to Christian theology. Though preached clearly in the New Testament and found in the writings of many of the church fathers, the medieval bishops and priests had largely forgotten the truth that our own good works can by no means merit God's favor. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, and good works result from our faith, they are not added to it as the grounds for our right standing in the Lord's eyes (Eph. 2:8–10).

Concussion Prevention Clinic held at Chargers Park for local high school, Pop Warner coaches
80 coaches attend clinic
SAN DIEGO - Coaches are usually the ones standing on the sidelines making sure your kids are safe, but Saturday they were on the field learning the techniques to prevent injuries, specifically concussions.
It is something El Capitan High School football coach John Burn knows about all too well. A concussion kept his son from playing the entire season.
"It's important to teach these kids how to do it the right way and be safe. Otherwise, we're not going to have a game of football," said Burn.
The Chargers teamed up with USA Football to reach out to a group of 80 local high school and Pop Warner coaches, raising awareness about an injury that is at the center of nearly 300 lawsuits involving nearly 5,000 players in the NFL.
Coaches received hands-on training on what to look for and how to teach kids about the threat of concussions.
Another part of the clinic revolved around equipment and making sure shoulder pads and helmets fit properly. It was just one of the issues discussed in the classroom session.
The class also comes as California lawmakers are pushing to limit the amount of full contact practice time for high school kids, which Burn says is already being enforced at most schools.

Microsoft launches Skype for Windows Phone but skips low-end devices
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) released version 1.0 of its Skype for Windows Phone application, limiting the calling and messaging service to devices with 512MB of memory--a move that excludes low-end Windows Phone Tango devices including Nokia (NYSE:NOK)'s Lumia 610, which features just 256MB of RAM.
Skype noted the memory requirement on its Garage blog but did not specify when or if it plans to expand the Windows Phone app to Tango devices.
The Lumia 610 is the first Nokia device to run the Windows Phone Tango variant, which is officially known as Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh. Tango scales down or removes many of the features found in the full-fledged Windows Phone 7.5 in an effort to reduce costs and help push the Microsoft operating system into the emerging markets segment.
Skype for Windows Phone 1.0 incorporates a series of new features and fixes identified during the app's beta testing period. Highlights include portrait-mode video calling, support in 18 languages, audio conference participation and improved contact blocking. Skype for Windows Phone 1.0 also resolves a host of performance issues and navigation problems. The app is free to download and works over 3G or Wi-Fi connections.
Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion in cash in May 2011. In addition to Windows Phone, Skype supports Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Washburn recorded its highest point total against an NCAA II school since 2010-11 in a 94-67 win Sunday over Barry on the final day of the Nova Southeastern Sharks Tip-Off Classic.
The 22nd-ranked Ichabods improved to 1-1 as they averaged 90.5 points in the two games. They'll will continue their four-game, season opening road trip Saturday in a neutral-site game at 2 p.m. against Ouachita Baptist in Jessieville, Ark.
Casyn Buchman improved on the career high she set Saturday with a 24-point effort Sunday. She was 9 of 15 from the field with four 3-pointers, also a career-high. She had four double-figure games all last year and has reached that mark in both games so far this year.
Kara Lee came off the bench for 18 points as she made 7 of 9 shots and all four free throw attempts. Honor Duvall scored 12 points, Brittney Lynch had 11 and Janelle Travis had 10. Lynch was 5 of 5 from the free throw line.
Buchman, Lynch and Lee led Washburn with seven rebounds each. Travis had seven assists and just one turnover running Washburn's offense.
The Ichabods pushed their 11-point halftime lead to 20 points 4:14 into the second half after a 6-0 run that ended on a three-point play from Lynch. The Buccaneers scored after that to cut it to 18 but two free throws from Lee pushed it back to 20 and it stayed that high the rest of the game.
Bench points from Johna McClelland and Haley Pfau late in the game helped push it to a game-high 29 points.
The Ichabods shot 49 percen as a team while Barry shot 42 percent. Washburn made 18 of 21 free throws and 8 of 24 3-pointers.The Bucs shot just 10 free throws and made eight of them. They were 9 of 22 from long range.
Washburn led in rebounds, 46-25 and had nine turnovers while the Bucs had 12. The Ichabods dominated in points off turnovers, 20-2 and also led in second-chance points, 21-2 as they grabbed 17 offensive rebounds.
LYnae Richardson and Ines Kerin led Barry with 15 points each. The two combined to go 8 of 14 from 3-point range.
Washburn's 94 points is its most against an NCAA II school since scoring 95 on January 29, 2011.

While omnibus films tend to be a mixed bag, we keep going back to them because the talent always seems to promise great things, and in the case of the forthcoming "7 Days In Havana," that's no exception.
Benicio Del Toro, Laurent Cantet ("The Class"), Gaspar Noé ("Enter the Void"), Pablo Trapero ("Carancho"), Elia Suleiman, Julio Medem ("Sex And Lucia") and Juan Carlos Tabio are each set to helm a segment of the forthcoming film. The ambitious undertaking will have recurring characters in each of the shorts and the script will be penned by Cuban novelist Leonardo Padura (he'll co-write Medem's and Tabio's films with the helmers). The loose synopsis of the film will tell the story of the day-to-day life in Havana through the eyes of tourists visiting. But here's a more comprehensive breakdown of what will feature in the shorts from Variety:
Del Toro will helm a sometimes fictionalized docu on a U.S. tourist's first 24 hours in Cuba; Medem portrays a love triangle; Trapero tracks an actor who arrives in Havana to receive a prize; Suleiman has a foreigner, whom he will play, wandering through Havana, waiting for something to happen; Cantet chronicles a family's offering to the ancient religion of Yoruba; Tabio looks at Cubans' daily trials and joys; Noe follows an exorcism.
Cuban actors Ana de Armas, Mirta Ibarra, Vladimir Cruz and Jorge Perugorria will play the characters that feature in shorts. The Spanish language film will lens in Cuba early next year.

Lufthansa, Air Berlin extend cancellations, Air France imposes open-ended ban; Netanyahu urges Kerry to renew US flights as Bloomberg takes El Al flight to 'show solidarity.'
Yitzhak Benhorin, Reuters
Latest Update: 07.23.14, 19:23 / Israel Travel
Yitzhak Benhorin, Reuters
Air France and Germany's two largest airlines on Wednesday canceled more flights to Tel Aviv because of ongoing safety concerns amid the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a 24-hour prohibition on flights by US carriers to Israel Wednesday after a rocket fired from Gaza struck near Ben-Gurion International Airport, on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Israeli air flight officials have said Israel could begin to divert flights to Ovda Airfield, situated in the resort town of Eilat at the southern tip of Israel.
Germany's Lufthansa and Air Berlin extended their cancelations through Thursday and Air France said it was suspending its flights "until further notice."
Polish state airline LOT also said Wednesday that it has suspended its flights to Israel from Warsaw until Monday because of concern for passengers' safety.
"This is caused by the tense situation in the region," LOT added in a statement. "The connection will be re-established as soon as possible and when we are sure that our operations are hundred percent safe."
The European Aviation Safety Agency late Tuesday said it "strongly recommends" that airlines refrain from operating flights to and from Tel Aviv. It said it would "monitor the situation and advise on any update as the situation develops."
EASA acted after the US Federal Aviation Administration prohibited American-based airlines from flying to the airport following a Hamas rocket explosion nearby. The FAA was expected to issue a new statement later Wednesday.
Lufthansa said its decision applies also to its subsidiaries Germanwings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Brussels Airlines. In all, 20 flights from Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Vienna and Brussels were cancelled for Thursday.
The airline initially had suspended flights for 36 hours through the end of Wednesday. Those cancelations were extended because "at the current time there is no sufficiently reliable new information that would justify a resumption of air operations," Lufthansa said.
Air Berlin said it is working in close contact with authorities and is continuing to evaluate the situation regularly to determine whether further cancelations were necessary.
Among other European airlines, KLM, Alitalia and Scandinavian Airlines also canceled flights Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not immediately announce their plans for Thursday flights.
British Airways, however, said Wednesday it has not canceled any of its Tel Aviv flights and had no immediate plans to do so. The airline would not answer questions about how it had made its decision to keep flying while others were canceling, citing security reasons
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday asked US Secretary of State John Kerry to help restore US commercial flights to Israel, an Israeli official said.
The Israel Airport Authority recommended opening the Ovda Airport in Eilat almost immediately after the announcement was made. Transport Minister Yisrael Katz agreed and said Tuesday that there was "no reason" for airlines cancel flights to Israel, and said Israel "will continue to maintain normal civic air traffic."
According to the IAA, out of the 55,000 passengers who were expected to pass through Israel's only major international airport, only 32,000 will actually land.
"Most of them are from Israeli carriers, but some foreign companies as well, the airport is still functioning," an IAA official told Ynet.
El Al has also added additional flights, but a large number of Israelis are still stranded en route to Israel after the flights were diverted, and are now grounded in cities from Berlin to Istanbul.
"If the FAA says this crosses our tripwires, we're not going to say 'Don't warn civil aviation.' We understand Israeli concerns. They don't want to have a shutdown of air traffic into Ben Gurion. We can look at this every 24 hours, but (when) a rocket lands a mile from that airport, that kind of trips their wire."
The Associated Press, Gilad Morag and Adar Bendek contributed to this report.

Hi, im coming to you because i am desperate. :( I have always worn braids/weaves /twists and one of these times my hair got so thin, the stylish ripped a lot of my hair off. Results? My hair was thin, and I had a lot of bald spots, and i started wearing braids again to let my hair grow. Two urs went by, and i still have a lot of bald spots, i just started to get a hairline back. And i am trying to start a successful hair journey but i dont know what to do anymore. I am currently wearing a brazilian weave, but it feels like my scalp hair is getting thinner and not stronger. My hair is relaxed btw. I wanted to start letting my hair grow under some weaves, but i dont know what to do, i would do anything just to have it back and healthier. SO PLEASE HELP ME.July 31, 2014 at 17:48 #38217
Hi Joseana5, I'm sorry to hear about your "endless damage" We cannot expect different results while doing the same things. You have to change everything you do with your hair if you want to see a change! Start by no longer putting relaxers in your hair. If your hair is damaged with bald spots then you don't need to put chemicals in it at all. Next you need to find natural products that work with your hair. And lastly, I would leave braids and weaves alone. Just keep conditioning your own hair weekly and treating your scalp. Loosely braid or twist your hair and wear a nice wig while taking better care of your hair underneath. But of course give your hair a rest when you are alone or home as much as you can. I know that damage or not, we ladies want to look nice. Be patient and have faith. I hope this helps you!July 31, 2014 at 17:48 #38218
Hi Joeseana5. You are not going to like what I say but there are two things that you are going to have to absolutely STOP for the time being until you get your bald spots growing again. First it's braiding and secondly relaxing.
I would l0ve to say that you can carry on as you are and just use product xyz and your hair will grow back but that would be disingenuous. Braiding puts stress on your follicles and while your hair is still fragile weaving is no longer protective but destructive. Also relaxer applied on bald spots serves to discourage regrowth so you are in for a looong stretch if you really want to see hair regrowth.
I wrote a couple of posts on using essential oils for regrowing bald spots and I would suggest that you try the rosemary, thyme, lavendar & cedarwood mixture to help regrow the areas. The full post is here and here's another one on a similar topic that may help get the point across.
It's not easy but it can absolutely be done if you are committed. Might I suggest that for the time being you just cross wrap your hair under a clip on half weave of wig? Neither of these require that your hair is braided underneath and you will be able to take it off and treat your scalp nightly.
For now I would suggest that you concentrate of getting the bald spots to grow back in then once that is happening you can more on to trying to gain length. Of course don't neglect your hair, dc weekly with heat and protein etc.July 31, 2014 at 17:49 #37420
Hi Joseana5, I am truly sorry to hear about your hair damage. Weaves and braids are great protective style and also help retain length but with the proper care. To the post its seems that you are not taking care of your hair properly. To start a proper hair journey I would advise you to start here:http://www.blackhairinformation.com/beginners/ This post may give you a great start to a successful hair journey.Many people on a hair journey tend to find weaves and braids easier to maintain and manipulate while growing out their hair. Also are you spacing out the time you get a weave. For example are you keeping in your sew in for 2 months and then get another one the next week?Also are you doing a protein treatment before applying your weaves?

Its not very oftern that a talent like Xander comes along. Yes, we had Hanley, as well as his emotional issues and lazy play sometimes (Ala Manny). Xander is the whole package.

Mario Lopez And Courtney Mazza's Wedding To Be Shown In TLC Special
By Jessica Rawden 3 years ago comments
Mario Lopez is fairly used to maintaining a high profile on television. This is why it is no surprise the Extra and The X Factor host has made plans with TLC to whore out his wedding footage to the masses. Still, there are worse things on TLC than the upcoming special, called Mario & Courtneys Wedding Fiesta.
Lopez was married to long-time girlfriend Courney Mazza in a ceremony in Punta Mita, Mexico on Saturday. The ceremony actually occurred on Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis property, which seems like it could be a weird place to have a wedding, but I suppose we will see when the special airs. Otherwise the event should have been beautiful, with 150 guests in attendance for the ceremony, which was held on the beach and officiated by a Catholic priest. The couples daughter, two-year-old Gia, even acted as a flower girl and Eva Longoria was on hand as a bridesmaid.
According to THR, fans of Lopez will get to take a sneak peek at the wedding and wedding planning much sooner than they may think. The two-hour network special will be presented on Lifetime for the first time on December 8, and I dont think its too forward to assume Mario & Courtneys Wedding Fiesta will be subject to repeats. I dont know about watching on multiple occasions, but this might be the type of reality TV that is worth checking out, once.
TLCs Mario & Courtneys Wedding Fiesta will air Saturday, December 8 at 8 p.m. ET.

Miranda Lambert Shows Off Awards Haul In New ACMs 2014 Promo
Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan may be the ones returning to co-host the ACM Awards on April 6, but that doesn't mean other stars haven't been getting in on the action. Both Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw joined them for a brand new promotional video last week, and notably sees Blake's wife showing off the staggering 15 ACM Awards that she's won. Subtle.
It's a funny promo, and not only that but we can also see a clip of bloopers from Blake and Luke trying to record something else. #Bluke is back! Check them out below.

"How Republicans can win"
This David Horowitz essay was forwarded along to me by several readers, presumably because in it, Horowitz deals quite a bit with adjusting the messaging that goes along with conservative policy to match and or/ counter the left's decided rhetorical advantages — namely, the belief, expressed overwhelmingly in exit polls, that the Democrats care about people, while the Republicans, whatever their other virtues (such as they are) do not. Horowitz counsels that we stop whining, that we try to avoid abstractions, that we concretize our language — all of which is fine, and good advice, to boot, provided you have those in office capable of doing it. And I'm not sure that we do.
Barack Obama, to many of us who've been following his political career closely — at least since he decided to run for President, — is a veritable treasure trove of opportunity for principled conservative opposition. He's a thin-skinned narcissist, a radical Marxist, and his rhetoric is so transparent and tissue-thin that it takes nothing more really than effort (and barely much) and desire to expose it for the collection of strung-together platitudes and populist bromides that it is, all of which are used as cover to advance the collectivist, Marxist principles underneath.
Obama is a cult figure. He needs to feel worshipped. He relies on those around him to reinforce for him his "historical" importance, his native genius, and his transcendent vision — none of which is real, and none of which can't be exposed by doing one single thing:
Telling the truth.
That's it. It's that simple.
— Which isn't to say you can't perfect the way in which you deliver the truth — this is where rhetorical skill comes in to play, and where it is always aided by the passion that comes from believing in what you're saying. But it requires telling the truth, first and foremost: that there have been no government cuts, that spending is so high and the debt and unfunded liabilities so large that most people can't conceive of the enormity, that we are literally printing money in order to spend it, and that those bills must and will always come due — after Obama leaves office and retires with millions to Hawaii, after all his cronies get rich off of money taken from each of us an sent along to his pals. Obama claims we can't cut energy or national security — and yet he's stopped a pipeline, scuttled drilling, is attacking fracturing technologies, is putting coal mines out of business, has declared the necessity of raising electricity and gas prices (which in turn leads to loss of jobs, and makes us more dependent on foreign markets), and has used his EPA to molest the entirety of the energy sector not connected to his phony green energy sham, a demonstrable expensive failure; regulatory costs have produced a de facto tax on nearly every commodity and service; and he's cutting the military while having forced through back-door amnesty — while working now to promote an official amnesty through "comprehensive immigration reform," just as he's simultaneously looking to disarm and criminalize American citizens for their firearm ownership.
He's a radical Marxist who, when he speaks of fundamental transformation, is — as Mark Levin has taken to pointing out — talking about transforming you: the fundamental transformation of Americans through social engineering projects, legislative and bureaucratic "nudges," and the indoctrination that occurs in schools, through the entertainment industry, academia, and the mainstream press, with the end goal being the dissolution of individual sovereignty and the rise of a dependence culture that needs a permanent "benevolent" ruling class to provide for safety, security, and material want.
And yet what is it that the GOP takes away from all this? Astonishingly, that they, too, have to try to join Obama in "showing they care"– not by being honest with the American people, but rather by adopting the premises the left sets out, then seeking to align themselves with those premises.
Which is why you have Eric Cantor speaking of "the children" when he talks of the necessity of "comprehensive immigration reform," using a saccharine and forced delivery to try to mimic the left rather than to point out the pernicious nature of the left's illegal immigration lies. It's surrender dressed up as compassion, and it is not only destructive of principle, but it won't matter a whit.
Or, to put it another way, it's like Cantor read Horowitz, and took away the counsel on "method" without understanding first that for that to work as an antidote to leftist lies, the GOP has first to re-identify and re-assert its very principles.
Showing you care in order simply to show you care won't work: people can smell pandering bullshit a mile away. It only works for Democrats because the Democrats are big government, and can convince people that they will rob from others to give to their constituency groups. They aren't pandering so much as, with a wink and a nod, purchasing votes.
Whereas the Republicans are tied to corporate welfare — and the Democrats will always label them the party of the rich, largely because the GOP has no answers to the charge. And this is because they've spend so much time listening to consultants and focus groups and trying to count demographics — that is, trying to get elected — that they've lost sight of the reason for being elected in the first place.
And what's ironic is, the truth sells. Conviction sells — even if it's the practiced phony conviction of Democrats (think Clinton's "I feel your pain"). But the GOP can't even fake conviction. And that's precisely because they stand for nothing.
The progressives have an ideological agenda and their entire Alinskyite strategy is geared toward promoting that agenda. The Republicans? They just want to have a turn managing the Leviathan, and everything they try is geared around trying to find a way back to power.
Without using the one tool that is most likely to bring that about: telling the truth. But after all the years of pandering, focus groups, modulating their message to appeal to moderates, accepting the left's premises and acting from a defensive posture, I fear they no longer have it in them. Which is why professional politicians need to go.

So I got a new Kestrel Evoke from Bikes Direct a little over 2 weeks. I have been able to ride 6 times as of today.
I downloaded Strava on my iphone but really don't know how to use it but when I looked at it today it said I was 4th on a segment that is part of my ride. I never would have thought I would have been towards the top of any of these things especially with a section that starts and ends uphill. I am skeptical that my numbers were even remotely competitive with anyone. Does this sound possible? FYI I am 46, 6'2" and 268 pounds. I also had a widow maker heart attack in May 2010. I am trying to loose weight and have fun.
This is what it said.
4 Rick Going Apr 16, 2013 12.9mi/h - 193W - 13:40 for a section that was 2.9 miles, avg grade .8%, elevation gain 190 feet.
The person with the fastest time did it with an avg speed of 18.6 and a little over 89 minutes.
