This month, Mike Rossi, a Philadelphia father, pulled his two kids out of school for a couple days so they could watch him run the Boston Marathon. The school had different thoughts though. They called it an "inexcusable absence," apparently thinking that they get to have the final say in family vacations. Above is picture of the letter they received. …Read More »

: A lively Romanian Rhapsody
George Enescu is best known for one work, his Romanian Rhapsody. He wrote it when he was 20, and for the rest of his life, it became his only work that people wanted to hear. It's probably not surprising that Enescu grew to hate it. Today, we'll hear a lively performance of the Romanian Rhapsody by the Central German Radio Symphony, led by Roman Kofman.

About the North American F-51D Mustang Korean War Sketched out in a New York city hotel room in April 1940, the North American Aviation Corporation NA73X went on to become one of the best fighters to come out of World War 2. The U.S. Army Air Corps gave it the title of P (for Pursuit) 51, and it was named Mustang by the British. Of the several variations of the Mustang, the P51-D is considered the definitive version and was the first to have the bubble canopy. More D models were built than any other variant, with a total of 9,603 being produced.
Armed with six .50 caliber machine guns, three in each wing, with 400 rounds for each inboard caliber machine guns, three in each wing, with 400 rounds for each inboard gun and 270 rounds for the other four, plus underwing pylons for auxiliary fuel tanks of 1000lb bombs, the Mustang was a true fighter pilots airplane. At the conclusion of WW2, Mustangs were in operation all over the world, flying in several nations air forces.
When the Korean conflict broke out, hundreds of F (for fighter) 51 s were in Japan awaiting scraping. Because they possessed the slow speed maneuverability that was absent in the new jets then entering service, the F-51 was ideal to work with Forward Air Controllers (FAC s) on the ground in Korea. The major drawback to this was the F-51 s liquid cooled engine susceptibility to anti-aircraft and small arms fire when attacking ground targets. This cause the Mustang to have the highest loss ratio of any aircraft in Korea. A total of 194 were lost in three years, with only 10 being downed in combat with other aircraft.

Posted March 13, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Strong northwesterly winds will linger across central and eastern North Carolina all day Thursday, making abundant sunshine relatively ineffective, WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.
Daytime highs will be in the low to mid-40s, about 25 degrees colder than on Wednesday and 15 to 20 degrees below normal for the middle of March.
"It will be awfully cold today, and the wind is going to make wind chills feel even colder," Gardner said. "We could have gusts up to 30 to 35 mph, and it's going to feel like 30s for much of the day."
Strong winds were responsible for at least two deaths in North Carolina on Wednesday. A man in Winston-Salem was killed Thursday afternoon when a tree fell on his car, and a 55-year-old Chapel Hill man died at about 6:45 p.m. when a tree fell onto the back porch of his home on Roper Lane.
Due to the strong winds and low humidity expected throughout the day, the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for almost the entire state from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, as fires could grow rapidly and spread out of control.
"Those winds are going to be strong enough to cause a fire risk today," Gardner said.
Highs will climb into the upper 50s on the final day of the work week under partly sunny skies, and temperatures will return to the mid-60s by Saturday.
Clouds and rain will return on Sunday as high temperatures slip back into the mid-50s.

Amy Cappellazzo
Amy Cappellazzo is a Founder and Principal of Art Agency Partners. She previously served as a market leader in the field of contemporary art during a tenure of almost thirteen years at Christie's, where she rose to the post of Chairman of Post-War & Contemporary Development.
While at Christie's, Cappellazzo was a steward for the sale of some of the most important collections of our time, and she continues to act as a fiduciary for numerous families, foundations and trusts. Additionally, she served as a pioneer in private sales at Christie's as well as in online auctions, the latter through a partnership she fostered with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. During a period when the contemporary art market exploded from what was largely a European and American epicenter to a fully global stage, Cappellazzo directed groundbreaking initiatives at Christie's that led to record results, with upward of $650 million realized in a single evening sale.
Prior to tenure at Christie's, Cappellazzo was an art advisor, a curator and a key figure in the establishment of Art Basel in Miami Beach.
Cappellazzo received her B.A. in Fine Arts/Art History from New York University, where she was a Presidential Trustee Scholar.

In 2012, she was appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo to serve on the board of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Jaynne Keyes
Jaynne Keyes was deeply honored to have been appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo to the New York State Council on the Arts as she fervently believes that New York and society in general must not under estimate or undervalue the importance of art.
Born in Texas, she has been greatly influenced by the words of Fellow Texan, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan: "The arts are not a frill. The arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity. What is there that can transcend deep difference and stubborn divisions? The arts. They have a wonderful universality. Art has the potential to unify. It can speak in many languages without a translator. The arts do not discriminate. The arts can lift us up"
It was in Texas that Ms.. Keyes began her lifelong relationship with the performing arts, studying and performing at Houston's Theater Inc. and Alley Theater, but it was in 1970 when she moved to New York that she knew she was home. Her vocation, the arts, with an emphasis on writing, film and theater and her avocation, political activism have often intertwined. She has worked with well-known directors, producers, writers and actors in theater, film and television as well as Congressmen, Senators, Governors and Presidents in political campaigns and causes.
Jaynne Keyes is the only person to serve as Commissioner of both the New York State and New York City Film Commissions. After completion of her cultural appointments, she was an agent at William Morris and an independent producer. She was a founding member and Chair of the Board of The Creative Coalition, a non-profit, issue oriented group in the entertainment arts, involved in major public policy and social change. She also served on several boards, such as The International Radio and Television Society, The Museum for the Moving Image, The Association of Film Commissioners and Women in Film.
After taking what was originally planned as a short sabbatical from the film industry at her farm outside Rhinebeck, NY, she discovered her muses and has been working at creating her own art for the past several years. The evolution began with a short stint at making Adirondack furniture to designing custom jewelry and now painting and sculpting, mainly in Encaustics. She chaired the Shakespeare film festival in the Hudson Valley, enjoys consulting and working with new Theater groups, The Lake Luzerne Music Camp, and is currently chairing the Eleanor Roosevelt at Val Kill Center's Medal Awards.
Mrs. Keyes reveres the Mid-Eastern Proverb. "If you have only two pennies, spend the first on bread and the other on hyacinths for your soul."

GEORGE W. RIVES. Among the extensive farmers of Barr Township, the biographer may well mention the name which appears at the head of this paragraph. Mr. Rives is the son of James Rives and Elizabeth Hood, both natives of North Carolina, who have resided in Kentucky, previous to their migration to Illinois. Having arrived in the Prairie State they settled in Greene County, about the years 1834 and there died.
Our subject first saw the light in Greene County, May 13, 1837, and there he took his early training upon the farm, and in the district school, and did not come to this county until about the time he reached his majority. He then settled upon section 21, Barr Township, in 1858, but returned to his native county two years later, to bring forth his bride. He was married January 35, 1860 to Miss Jemima Deal, a daughter of George and Lucy (Rismiller) Deal, natives of Pennsylvania. Mr. Deal died in Luzerne County, Pa., and the mother in Christian County, Ill. Their daughter Jemima was born in North Hampton County, Pa., March 9, 1838.
To Mr. and Mrs. Rives were granted ten bright and interesting children, namely: Charles P.; William H., who married Miss Anna Skaggs; James L. who married Miss Emma Jones; Augustus M., George E., Lenora E., John M., Harry E., Everette A. and Stephen C. These children are all being brought up in the faith of the Christian religion, and are given excellent opportunities of education, the parents being intelligent and thoughtful and desirous of the best good for their children. They are both earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics Mr. Rives is attached to the Republican party. Farming and stock-raising absorb the greater part of Mr. Rives' interest and efforts and he is successful in his endeavors. He is the prosperous owner of seven hundred and sixty acres, all in Barr Township.

Cask ale week - and beer versus wine again
16 comments:
- Eddie said...
"Because wine is poncy". There, that sorts the image thingy out.
- 24 March 2010 at 10:17
- Chris said...
I think it depends what kind of wine drinker you're talking to – are they wine snobs or do they just drink it because that's what they think a girl drinks / what one brings to a dinner party? Some common messages I'd start with:
- It's local (potentially…). A Californian or Argentinean white has travelled half way around the world. London Pride or Meantime's London Pale Ale are from a few miles down the road.
- It doesn't have to come in big, threatening pint glasses. The tulip glasses the Rake uses for bottled beers remove a lot of the "I've got a lot of this to get through if I don't like it…" and "girls don't drink pints" arguments (not ones I agree with, but that may affect image-driven drinkers)
- There are more than three beer choices (Fizzy, yellow cold lager; Warm, flat weird tasting stuff from hand pumps; Guinness). Even if the second two intimidate you, there are things *like* the first – but taste better. Start them off with craft lagers or pilsners.
- It's not uncivilised to drink it with food, even in restaurants (not just with curry) – in fact, it sometimes works better than wine
- 24 March 2010 at 11:49
- DJ said...
I would say that Ale has all the qualities of wine but can be appreciated for longer as it is a long drink. Simples as that.
- 24 March 2010 at 12:29
- Rob said...
You and try and put forward many reasons why to drink beer. You can talk about style and diversity and and it's chemistry with food and often only bore people. But at the end of the day its beer that speaks for itself. Find out what a person likes flavour wise (spicy, fruity, dry etc) then you can taylor a tasting thats likely to grab some attention.

I've been running a poll around the same lines this week, quite possibly as a result of emails with the same brewer! Some interesting results so far.

Why should I drink beer?
"It depends on what kind of wines you like and why you drink them...
If you like complex and interesting wines then broadening your repertoire to include beers will open you up to a whole new world of taste experiences.
If your drink bland white wine because it's cold and refreshing then why not try standard lager? It's lovely and it won't get you hammered quite as quickly."

Not sure about the exactness of the Latin (it's not a quote), but the sentiment is right, I believe:
"in vino vertias, sed in zytho vita"
- There is truth in wine, but in beer there is life.

Why not just remove all the bull about social class, aspiration, masculinity and image from booze altogether and say "everybody just drink what you like the taste of", and not bother what rocks your neighbours boat and enjoy what rocks yours.

No words are necessary. Buy the wine guy a couple of beers.
I'm a believer in cognitive dissonance... That is, to oversimplify, "if I did something then there must have been a good reason." The glow of a two-pint buzz can be very persuasive.

Ask them why YOU should drink WINE. Then, after they've gone on about depth of flavours, taste experiences, subtleties of aroma and palate and so on, say: "I can show you exactly those same joys in a beer." If they look dubious, ask if you can find all the pleasures and subtleties they are talking about in a bottle of E&J Gallo or Blossom Hill. When they say no, of course not, tell them you're not talking about mass-produced products either, but artisinal beers crafted with as much care as any small-estate wine or premier cru.

I normally say 'think of poor tiny tim, how will he be fed if you don't buy beer' but I suppose you have to work in the beer trade to use that one.
To a serious wine buff I'd go on about how beer is a more complex drink than wine: the variety of grains and hops compared to just grapes, and the different types of yeast and of water used to make beer as well as the huge variation in strength and colour.
- 24 March 2010 at 20:51
- al_uk said...
I drink beer rather than wine routinely now largely because I am often thirsty. And I want something that quenches my thirst, that I can drink more than a large thimble of, that has complexity, interesting flavours, is a grown up drink, and yet won't get me too drink (as wine would if I drank it in the same quantities)

- Pivní Filosof said...
I would just invite him/her to a tasting that will include the brand he/she mostly associates beer with, and take it from there. I would even include beers I think they might not like, just to make a point of the diversity the drink offers. At no time I would even imply that beer is better than wine, or any other bollocks like that.
With that done, I would point out the value for money issue.

- Mark said...
What Martyn said!
And I'd talk about the range and depth of flavours and textures in beer. Maybe give it some more context by linking it to food, particularly foods which wine doesn't go so well with - chocolate, chilli.
I think if you talk about beer in a way that they are familiar with then it helps to bridge the gap they might perceive. Talk about processes, barrel-aging, different yeasts. And if you give them a taster then put it in a small glass, not a pint.
That's what I'd do.

From President Obama's speech at the Auraria Events Center.
10:51 a.m. — Obama wraps up his hybrid policy/campaign speech to cheers and departs the lectern.
10:50 a.m. — Obama tells students, "Denver, I need your help."
Because of gridlock in Congress, the president says he needs the students to call and tweet and do what they could to make "all of us in Washington do our job."
10:48 a.m. — Obama tells students the changes will help them put more "money in your pocket."
"This is not just important for our country right now, it's important for our future."
10:46 a.m. — The president says he wants to speed up a law set to go into effect in 2014 that would reduce loan payments from 15 percent of earned income to 10 percent — and do so next year.
"Because our economy needs it now, and your future could use a boost right now."
10:42 a.m. — But the cost of higher education is high, and the nation's student loan debt is now higher than its credit card debt, Obama says. The impact is that the debt payments aren't going to grow the economy, he says.
"I've been in your shoes," Obama says. "We did not come from wealth families."
The president says that by the time he and Michelle Obama graduated they had about $120,000 in debt.
"We were paying more for our student loans than our mortgage payments each month."
The president says it took 10 years to pay off the debt.
"So the idea is how do we make college more affordable, and how do we make you have less debt."
10:40 a.m. — Touting his use of executive orders, Obama talks about things he hopes to do without the congress that he says will improve the economy.
He now is launched into talking about making sure that "every American has access to a college education."
10:37 a.m. — Obama, dropping his Gs now, says he will do whatever he can, "without the Congress."
Thus, his "We Can't Wait" tour.
10:35 a.m. — Obama calls out Republicans in Congress for blocking his jobs bill twice in one month — the very bill the president stumped for on his last trip to Denver only four weeks ago.
"How can you say no to people who don't have jobs?" Obama says. "It just doesn't make any sense."
10:34 a.m. — Obama promises he will "keep on pushing" to restore security for middle-class America and not "just those on tops."
10:32 a.m. — Obama says that as "you young people" are headed into the world, there is a lot of fear about the future. The crowd cheers — but the president is interrupted by hecklers.
10:28 a.m. — President has taken the stage and launched into a message straight to the students that "we will have to adapt to these changes" on Wall Street that haven't "worked for the middle class."
"We have an economy that is more focused on consuming things that creating value."
10:22 a.m. — A Student from the University of Colorado Denver (sorry we missed the name) speaks: "In my college, career, I've borrowed $30,000 in federal loans. "I am solely responsible for my education and expenses. I've had to borrow money and work 20 hours a week on campus ... Sometimes it does feel like a very real price tag. I will not sacrifice my passion ... just so I can make a higher salary." The crowd cheers. "So many of us struggle to repay our debt because we're not on a fast track to making a six-figure salary."
With that, she introduces Obama, who is on stage.

by Tunku 'Abidin Muhriz. First published in the Malay Mail 7 March 2014
Compared to the recent acts of belligerence in East Asia or incursions in the South China Sea, or even the Arab Spring, the current crisis between Ukraine and Russia may seem rather distant for us. We do not have profound historical links to that part of the world, nor do our populations share a language and culture – though there is a legacy of Islam, especially in Crimea where the predominantly Muslim Crimean Tatars make up 12% of the peninsula's two million people (out of the total Ukrainian population of 46 million).
Some ingredients of the crisis might be familiar, like spectacular corruption and public distrust in institutions, but others are not. Indeed the situation between Ukraine and Russia provides an opportunity to consider how different the geopolitics of our region are. Sure, in almost any given ASEAN country there may be sizeable resident populations of citizens from neighbouring countries, but it would be difficult to imagine a neighbouring country sending in their army purportedly to defend "their people" – which does not just mean citizens but also those who possess ethnic, cultural and linguistic ties to the neighbouring country – even if those people themselves asked for "protection". In post-Cold War Southeast Asia, the principle of non-interference, epitomised by the ASEAN Way, remains fundamental in relations between states: territorial disputes such as between Malaysia and Singapore or Thailand and Cambodia have been resolved at the International Court of Justice.
Perhaps more importantly, it is also inconceivable that significant populations residing in one country would actually seek military intervention from another country. A defence analyst might point out that there is no equivalent disproportionality of military might here as there is between Russia and Ukraine, but there is also a generally equal and strong loyalty to national identities in our region. True, there are communities and subnational units all across ASEAN that seek more autonomy or independence (and neighbouring countries may well be involved in negotiations between central and regional entities, as Malaysia was in the case between the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front), but these movements do not generally consider themselves to be sponsored by or requiring the protection of the government of another country.
Newcomers to Southeast Asian geopolitics sometimes wonder if Malaysia actively promotes a political kinship with the Malay Muslim inhabitants of southern Thailand, or if the pre-Second World War idea of Indonesia/Malaya Raya still resonates. As we have seen in recent times, nationalists on both sides will fight about ownership of culture, but even the most conciliatory moderates will advocate dialogue and cooperation, rather than entertain any incursions of national sovereignty. Once in a while one does encounter the odd proponent of ASEAN becoming a fully-fledged superstate with sovereignty transferred to centralised institutions, but this is usually from citizens in authoritarian countries who want greater market access, connectivity and democracy, rather than those who support the dominance of a big country. It is perhaps a boon that the lack of a shared romanticised notion of a period of unity or dominance (a la Russia within the USSR) makes political centralisation difficult to imagine.
And in a way, this is comforting for us. Because what it means is that although we worry about our own ethnic cleavages and issues over national unity, we know that it is up to us to address them, without interference from outsiders. Recently cabinet minister Tan Sri Joseph Kurup was in Singapore to glean lessons from their methods of forging national unity. It does not matter that there are some Malays in Malaysia who see Malays in Singapore as a trampled-upon minority, and advocate some kind of intervention to "help" these brethren: the state of bilateral ties prevents any such action. And so our cabinet ministers are free to explore models around the world, and our Prime Minister is free to ask us to ignore the extremists: for ultimately it will be us who will judge them for the success of government policy on national unity.
For now at least. During the siege of Lahad Datu I was made aware that some Malaysian officials were genuinely worried about the extent to which the large numbers of Filipinos in Sabah would support the claims of the self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu. On that occasion, the Filipino government was clear that they did not support the incursion, and our ties have remained strong as seen by Malaysia's response in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
But it is theoretically possible that if enough things change: demographically, militarily, politically, diplomatically – perhaps one day unilateral intervention in the affairs of another country in Southeast Asia might once again become less inconceivable.

Vitriol d'œillet (Carnation Vitriol) is an angry scent, Serge Lutens explains. Visually, the flower is very crinkly, and the edges of the petals are saw-toothed: so we're not in a soft and gentle register. And not in olfactory terms either: carnation isn't really a flowery flower, it's actually an explosion of spicy notes. To recreate the smell of this angry flower, Lutens used cloves, hot pepper and gillyflower. At the same time, he goes on, Vitriol d'œillet is a very elegant scent. After all, don't dandies wear carnations on their lapels?

Love's Creation
A Novel by Marie Stopes, author of Married Love: A New Contribution to the Solution of Sex Difficulties
"There is nothing that helps so much with the economic emancipation of woman as a knowledge of how to control her maternity." Marie Stopes
Marie Stopes' work in the area of sexual health and contraception
has left a lasting legacy, and she is widely acknowledged as one
of the most significant figures of the twentieth century. Her Married
Love: A New Contribution to the Solution of Sex Difficulties
was first published in 1918, translated into thirteen languages
and sold over a million copies. Stopes also ardently pursued her
enthusiasm for literature throughout her life, writing novels, plays
and poetry. Her novel Love's Creation, published in 1928,
the year women obtained the vote, is a working through of the debates
which she addressed both in her personal and public life: sexual
relations, the relationship between the arts and sciences, the quest
for female sexual fulfillment.Marie Stopes' campaigning on behalf of a more open
attitude to women's sexuality, equality in marriage, and sexual
health and contraception, and her opening of the first free birth
control clinic in the British Empire in 1921, saw her at the centre
of political controversy, not least in her battle with the Roman
Catholic church. Love's Creation, republished here
for the first time since 1928, offers fascinating insights into
early twentieth-century women's writing, most notably Virginia Woolf's
theories of female creativity / fulfilled female sexuality which
is not under threat from motherhood; female economic and psychic
freedom; and the social milieu of the time. It is an engaging and
fast moving narrative with lively, well-drawn and unconventional
characters. The novel poses important questions about women's choices
and aspirations before, during and after marriage. Not surprisingly
it also engages in still contemporary and vital debates about the
relationship between the sciences and the arts, and theories of

Experts describe certain medications that should be avoided in elderly people due to problems such as daytime sedation and falls. Computerized alerts can substantially reduce inappropriate drug prescribing for the elderly, concludes a study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS11843). Researchers examined drug prescribing over a 39-month period for elderly patients of a large health maintenance organization (HMO), 12 months before and 27 months after implementation of computerized order entry system (CPOE) alerts. The computer alerts popped up when a clinician from 1 of 15 HMO primary care clinics ordered medications from 2 drug classes: long-acting benzodiazepines and tertiary amine tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs).
Besides noting the inappropriate prescription, the alerts also suggested alternatives, such as shorter-acting and less-sedating benzodiazepines and secondary amine TCAs or other medications such as buspirone. The order could be changed by accepting the alternative medication. The alerts led to a 22 percent decline (5.1 prescriptions per 10,000 members per month) in inappropriate or nonpreferred prescribing from these 2 drug classes compared with the month prior to the drug-specific alerts. This reduction was sustained over the entire 2-year post-alert period, and was driven primarily by decreased dispensing of nonpreferred TCAs.
Among all the medications studied, the TCAs amitriptyline and nortriptyline had the largest changes in dispensing rates. Before the alert, the nonpreferred TCA amitriptyline was prescribed more often at every time point than the preferred TCA nortriptyline. However, after the alert, this finding was reversed.
Despite decreased use of nonpreferred medications for the elderly, there was no overall offsetting increase in the use of preferred medications. This suggests that the alerts decreased overall prescribing of both nonpreferred and preferred drugs. While this may have been clinically appropriate for some patients, it is possible that others were denied appropriate medication, or the clinicians may have switched to other medications that were not included in the analysis.
More details are in "The impact of prescribing safety alerts for elderly persons in an electronic medical record," by David H. Smith, R.Ph., Ph.D., Nancy Perrin, Ph.D., Adrianne Feldstein, M.S., M.D., and others, in the May 22, 2006, Archives of Internal Medicine 166, pp. 1098-1104.

"The Arab Spring Remains Incredibly Exciting"
- By Parag KhannaParag Khanna is a senior research fellow at the New America Foundation and author of The Second World: How Emerging Powers Are Reshaping Global Competition in the 21st Century.
Graham Fuller, a former vice-chairman of the U.S. National Intelligence Council and author of the brilliant book A World Without Islam (featured first as an essay in Foreign Policy in 2007), is a long-time resident of Vancouver, Canada. On the longest night of the year and the sidelines of city's bustling music festival, Fuller spoke about the continued excitement and uncertainty of the Arab Spring, the likely independence referendum on Palestine later this year, and the artificially inflated role of Islam in current events in the Middle East.

I had a chin implant placed 2 months ago. Although I like the way it looks, I wish the implant would have been placed a little lower to lengthen the chin instead of a straight projection. Can the implant be redone to fit lower on the chin to create length? If so, how should I tell my surgeon? I feel I should have said something prior to surgery. Can this revision be done in office?
Chin Implant Redo
Doctor Answers 4
Chin implant redo for increased length not recommended.
Thanks for including photos! These show a nice result, particularly in the under-chin jawline. Had it been placed "lower" on the chin, you would have been given a "witch's chin" appearance! Trust me, this is NOT a good look.
While a custom implant could be created to give additional vertical height, this needs to be carefully-created for a "perfect fit" on the front of the chin and the underside of your mandible to give a harmonious look that avoids the witch's chin terrible result!
I have personally done this once in 24 years, and never want to do it again because of the difficulty in achieving the "look" my patient wanted. (BTW, my surgery was a re-do from another surgeon elsewhere, and took substantial effort and two operations--after the first elsewhere--to get to an acceptable appearance!)
My best advice: Do nothing for at least a year, allowing all the swelling to subside and getting used-to your new look before deciding you want something "different." Best wishes!

Chin implant revision to lengthen face
A standard chin implant won't increase the vertical height of the chin. I agree that I would wait for all your swelling to subside before considering any revision surgery. You still have quite a bit of normal swelling.
A sliding genioplasty is a type of chin augmentation procedure that can add vertical height in addition to further projection of the chin. It involves making bone cuts in the jaw itself and plating the chin bone in the new position. Not all facial plastic surgeons/plastic surgeons do this procedure, but it is quite powerful.

Chin implant revision
From the photos you sent, it actually looks like your chin implant was properly placed and in good position. It can take up to six months for the residual swelling to resolve and it to settle in its new pocket. I would continue to be conservative and wait at least that long before making any other considerations. Personally, I think it is a very good result as it is.

Chin implant redo
I agree that you should do nothing for now. There is surely some mild swelling that will resolve over the next few months. It is possibly that the implant is slightly large overall. You have a deep sulcus between the lower lip and the chin that I suspect you had before. Implants can make the sulcus look too deep. Overall, however, I think your chin looks nice and I think you will be happy with it.

More words were written and read about World War II than any other war in history. But much of the writing came from correspondents who were usually in a hurry, and often able to observe only one closeup section of a big scene. And the official writings were usually cramped by the dictates of security and the censors.
In the past year there have been beginnings of an attempt to put together the war as it really wasits grand strategies,...

Indiana man gets life for slayings of five
A southeastern Indiana man who pleaded guilty to fatally shooting five people during an apparent drug dispute has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
A Franklin Circuit Court judge sentenced 46-year-old David Ison during a Wednesday morning hearing in Brookville. The Glenwood man was sentenced after he unexpectedly changed his plea to guilty last month.
Ison was charged with the September slayings of 50-year-old Roy Napier; Napier's estranged 47-year-old wife, Angela; their children, 23-year-old Melissa Napier and 18-year-old Jacob Napier; and 43-year-old neighbor Henry X. Smith.
Their bodies were found inside and outside Roy Napier's mobile home in rural Laurel, about 50 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
Prosecutors say Ison was upset that Roy Napier had raised the price of oxycodone pills he was selling.

COTEAU — The owner of a controversial landfill that was closed in 2009 has agreed to pay $73,904 and at least $150,000 for environmental cleanup work as part of a pending settlement with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
DEQ and Gordon's Disposal, owned by New Iberia businessman Gordon Doerle, have agreed to the terms of the settlement, but the deal has yet to be formalized, DEQ officials said Wednesday.
The construction and demolition debris landfill on the border of Iberia and St. Martin parishes had been fought by some residents in the area since it opened in 1994.
DEQ ordered the closure of the landfill in 2009 after denying a permit for an expansion that was needed for continued operation at the site, which had reached its capacity.
At the time, DEQ officials cited concerns from Coteau-area residents and federal aviation officials, who feared birds coming and going from the landfill might affect air traffic at the nearby Acadiana Regional Airport.
The pending settlement resolves a long list of alleged violations at the landfill and an on-site waste transfer station dating back to 2004.
"It wraps up all the pending issues for this site," said Celena Cage, administrator of DEQ's Enforcement Division.
Alleged violations outlined in the 23-page settlement document include the failure to properly cover waste to keep trash from blowing onto adjacent property; disposing of waste in buffer areas that were supposed to be kept clear; failure to perform required environmental tests at the site; and failure to submit all the required reports to DEQ.
Doerle did not return a call to his office Wednesday for comment on the settlement.
The settlement document reads that his company agrees to pay the $73,904 "without making any admission of liability under state or federal statute or regulation."
Doerle has also agreed in the settlement to spend an estimated $150,000 to $280,000 to stabilize a nearby landfill that was operated by another owner — the David Trahan Construction and Demolition Landfill off Coteau Road in Iberia Parish.
DEQ shut down the Trahan landfill in 2009.
DEQ spokesman Rodney Mallett said the owners did not have the money to do the work that DEQ requires when landfills are closed, such as capping the waste with 2 feet of clay, planting a grass covering and grading the site to prevent the dirt cap from washing away.
Doerle will assume the expense for that work, Mallett said.
"It will ensure the waste remains in place," he said.
The settlement stipulates that if Doerle does not spend at least $150,000 to close the Trahan landfill, he will pay the difference to DEQ.
Mallett said DEQ's legal settlements sometimes involve a component called a "beneficial environmental project."
"The project is the closure of the Trahan landfill," he said.
Some residents in the area remain skeptical, because Doerle has talked of starting a new landfill adjacent to the Trahan site off Coteau Road.
"If you look at all the deficiencies that DEQ has written about him, why would they allow him to put in another landfill," said Myra Boutte, who lives across the street from the Trahan site and whose family owns about 144 acres next to it.

"Heartland Entrepreneuring: How to Start and Grow Businesses in America's Heartland," will include answers to questions about starting and building new businesses outside of metropolitan areas of the United States. Those questions include "Why start a business now? Why here? What do new businesses mean for the Montana economy and for me? Is there a real opportunity outside Silicon Valley? How do I grow my current business today?"
As Entrepreneur-in-Residence for the week of Oct. 15-19, Ruff will also visit business classes throughout the week and meet with students in the entrepreneurship program.
Ruff, who lives in Big Sky, has worked with a number of Montana businesses, as well as with TechRanch, a start-up incubator, but the bulk of his work has occurred in Silicon Valley. He is now turning his attention to non-metropolitan areas and has coined the term "Heartland Entrepreneuring" to reflect opportunities for business growth and new business start-ups outside the metropolitan areas of America.
According to event organizers, Ruff's market and business strategy consulting firm, White Space Strategy, has provided counsel to more than 200 client organizations since 1996. Prior to that, he built consulting practices for several leading firms in the Silicon Valley. He has been consulting for high-tech companies and industry leaders since 1987, when he joined Booz & Co., a worldwide consultancy. Ruff also has 13 years of experience in sales and marketing management at Hewlett-Packard Co. His clients have included American Express, IBM, HP, Adobe, Oracle and Apple, as well as hundreds of start-up companies and new businesses in a broad range of industries.
Ruff has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia and a master's of business administration in international management and finance from New York University.

The clock is ticking. Covered Entities and Business Associates – and their Subcontractors – have a mere six months to bring their HIPAA and HITECH programs into compliance with the new requirements. -- Bob Chaput, CEO & Founder, Clearwater Compliance
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 01, 2013
Clearwater Compliance CEO Bob Chaput today announced completion of a comprehensive software update to reflect the myriad of changes in the Omnibus Final Rule (OFR) promulgated by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in January. The OFR regulations are effective March 26, 2013 and, excluding special dates allowed for Business Associate Agreements, compliance is required by September 23, 2013.
"The clock is ticking," Chaput said. "Covered Entities and Business Associates – and their Subcontractors – have a mere six months to bring their HIPAA and HITECH programs into compliance with the new requirements, or risk the liability associated with increased fines and penalties. HHS has made it abundantly clear that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will be increasing their enforcement efforts through new audits and the expected increase in complaint-driven investigations for "willful neglect" mandated by OFR.
"Our comprehensive SaaS software, embedded with the OCR Audit Protocol and now the OFR requirements, continues to be the answer for organizations wishing to operationalize their compliance program," Chaput added.
The newly updated software includes the Company's industry-leading compliance assessments for the HIPAA Security, Privacy and Breach Notification Rules which simulate the OCR Audit Protocol by asking, for each implementation specification and requirement in the regulations these three questions:
(1) Do you have policies and procedures that address this requirement?
(2) Are you practicing, enforcing those procedures? AND
(3) Are they reasonable and appropriate for your organization?
Together, these solutions facilitate the process for every organization in health care, or for those servicing the health care market, to take the critical step to identify gaps in current compliance programs and generate remediation steps to assure compliance with the new regulations. Clearwater's existing clients will automatically see the "redline" updates for the OFR in their software by accessing their customer portal. Interested prospective customers can request a free demonstration and a free trial of Clearwater HIPAA Security Assessment and/or Clearwater HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Assessment here.

Good Day at the Range
I finally drag myself to the range. Took the Glock 19, S&W M&P 15-22 and the Bushmaster.
Cool, slight wind and small amount of shooters!
The M&P 15-22 was first up to play. Did shoot about 100 rounds, the Nikon Prostaff Scope was an issue of sighting in at short range :confused:, I drove me nuts - I adjusted up and down and left and right, nothing! Then the 15-22extractor comes out (all three pieces) :eek: :mad:. Damn, Remington Target 22LR ammo had a play in it (mabybe). Just to be on the safe side the rifle is heading back to S&W for a warranty makeover and upgrade!
I did re-install the extactor after cleaning! Smith & Wesson Forum has 4 pages on this issue.
The Bushmaster had a new scope Leapers 5th Gen 6X32 Scope, after some 10 rounds short and 10 rounds long, sighted in with no issues!
Glock 19 was enjoying the play time. It did not like the American Eagle ammo that I took to the range.
Saturday, take that Nikon and mount onto my other rifle for test and evaluation. I does not work, I am calling Nikon for RMA!
Dang, Big, some days are better than others. Any day at the range is better than a good day at work. :D
I am required to ask, Where are the pics?? ;)
Sounds like a good day, no matter what. Not crowded and slight wind sounds okay to me.
But, like Skull said:
Be sure to post how that 22 turns out. I can handle a gun having a hiccup..... but if the manufacturer doesn't fix it, it's officially a problem!!
I did some digging on the S&W forums, alot of pages on the M&P 15-22. :eek:
I brokedown the bolt and the extractor (three small pieces) loose one and your screwed, anyway. Re-assembled the extractor and will attempt to do range check Saturday - based on honey-do book!
Now on PICS will take camera to the range! I am going sign-up with photobucket!
Pardon the nosey AR clips, they always want into the picture! :D

IN response to Derek Vaughan MEP's letter on December 12, I am stunned at the laziness of his argument, peddling the same scaremongering tripe we have been hearing since we were conned into joining the EU 40 years ago.
Mr Vaughan, as an MEP, should be aware that the EU 27 sell us a lot more than we sell them.
If he picked up the Treaty of Lisbon, he might note: TEU Article 21, para 2 states: "The Union shall define and pursue common policies and actions, and shall work for a high degree of cooperation in all fields of international relations, encourage the integration of all countries into the world economy, including through the progressive abolition of restrictions on international trade."
TFEU Article 206 also lays down: "...the Union shall contribute …to the harmonious development of world trade, the progressive abolition of restrictions on international trade and on Foreign Direct Investment, and the lowering of customs and other barriers." For neighbouring countries (i.e. us after we'd left!), he would also find that the Treaty legally commits the EU to the freest possible trade, free movement of capital and peaceful co-operation.
All of the 'EU28' are members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), where the EU has group representation.
Within 24 hours of Britain leaving the EU, we will have free trade agreements with each of the EU27 Nations.
BMW, Mercedes, Renault etc would demand of their governments that they stick to the above articles. No one wants or can afford a trade war.
The European Commission policy was expressed in "Trade, Growth and World Affairs: Trade policy is a Core Component of the EU's 2020 Strategy", (COM(2010)612).
This confirms the intention to dismantle barriers and promote balanced free trade as far as possible. It is committed to work via the WTO, and is not against 'bilateral' agreements - so it would not deter EFTA countries like Norway from trading with us.
The WTO noted in 2011 that, apart from the EFTA countries (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), the EU had extended free trade agreements to Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, CARIFORUM states, Chile, Croatia (now in the EU), Egypt, Faroe Islands, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Tunisia, and certain overseas countries and territories.
This also bodes well for extending trade with us in areas not yet covered by the somewhat hyped 'Single Market'.
As for our trade deals already cut by the EU, international treaty law points towards them remaining in place by default if we left.
We do not need to fear standing on our own two feet, but should relish the opportunity to trade freely with the rest of the world as we choose. We will reclaim our borders, and decide which laws we want to make for ourselves.
