Not this year
A public-safety proposal that might go to voters this fall could be substantially slimmer than the $98 million behemoth voters soundly rejected last November. In fact, one plan under consideration would be little more than half the cost of last year's plan.
The problem for the Grand Junction City Council, however, is that voters appear to be in no mood for any tax increase right now — in large part due to the economy — regardless of the size of the project.
An informal survey conducted by Councilman Bill Pitts certainly isn't a statistically valid poll, but it is instructive and in line with public rumblings we've heard regarding a possible public-safety initiative on this year's ballot. Of approximately 150 people Pitts said he questioned about the ballot initiative, all but one told him they would vote against such a measure, regardless of cost.
The City Council should listen to that chorus of naysayers and reject the urge to put the measure on the ballot this year.
We understand the city's dilemma. There is little question a new police headquarters and 911 emergency dispatch center are needed. But rushing something to the ballot this year, when little groundwork has been laid and public sentiment is strongly opposed to tax increases, would likely result in another ballot-box loss and an even greater setback for new public-safety facilities.
The five possible ballot initiatives presented to the council this week have several things in common. Whether the most expensive alternative at $78.6 million or the cheapest at $53.8 million, they would all include a new police and fire administration building with new facilities for the 911 dispatch center, as well as a new downtown fire station.
And all five would boost the city sales tax by one quarter cent, and leave it in effect until 2040.
But is the $53 million alternative definitely the least-expensive option out there? Couldn't an option be crafted just to meet the urgent need for a new police headquarters and a new 911 dispatch center?
These are all questions the City Council should examine thoroughly before it plunges ahead with another ballot measure. But more importantly, council members should heed the warning of the many people telling them: "Not this year."

Releasing on March 19, Gears of War: Judgment didn't receive the Fall/Holiday release treatment given to its trilogy predecessors and most blockbusters of their ilk — and anticipation seems to have adjusted accordingly.
We have high hopes for the shooter building on the sterling success of Gears of War 3, all the while discovering fresh, Emergence Hole-spotted ground back before the narrative period of Gears 1, but the height of its time in the gaming spotlight all year still remains this February, when its opening cutscene and full multiplayer component was leaked online.
Thankfully, though, Epic Games chose the shorter side of the Ides of March to debut its Gears of War: Judgment launch trailer — cramming as many explosions and gunshots and dismemberments (along with one sucker punch!) as possible into one spectacularly visceral minute.
The aggressive verve of the trailer is very much aligned with the game's apparent style: Between adding a new free-for-all multiplayer mode, collaborating with Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly, casting one of Kilo Squad's more… polarizing members as is central protagonist, and injecting its story with "more fun" and lighter tone, everything about Judgment — right down to its ostensibly quick time in development — has implied that a brash, sprightly pace is in store for Epic's prequel, more so than what the main Gears trilogy is already known for.
In addition to the flair, however, the launch trailer does capture the setup of Judgment's known plot. Casting series mainstays Lt. Damon Baird and Pvt. Augustus Cole at its forefront (in lieu of Marcus and Dom), the game begins just 30 days after the Locust invasion of Sera on Emergence Day when Kilo Squad, lead by Baird, stands accused of treason after stealing top-secret COG technology. The high-mindedly hawkish Colonel Ezra Loomis, seen rearranging Baird's dental work, is the unit's mistrusting accuser. How the embattled cast of characters goes about enduring… well, judgment remains to be seen, but it's a huge crux of the canon's story arc that delivers Baird and Cole to the starting point of Gears 1, 14 years later.
Also released for Gears of War: Judgment this week was the trailer shown above detailing one of the game's new mutliplayer weapons: a Tripwire Crossbow. The gadget launches an explosive bolt onto surfaces in the environment. The bolt then projects an infrared beam perpendicular to where it lands, serving as its detonator mechanism — although direct application to flesh appears to set it off as well.
Multiplayer has always been a major facet of the Gears experience; for many, it's the selling point. Combining the new Overrun mode and new class system (both of which we previewed hands-on with Cliff Bleszinski back at E3 2012) with Free-for-all and its host of unique gameplay features, it will be interesting to see how Judgement — through both its single- and multiplayer components — distinguishes itself from an already stalwart franchise when it releases in mere weeks.

Dear readers,
While I write adult comics, I am not without morals. There are causes I like to support, and from time to time I try to bring them up on this site. Today, I'd like to tap you to help Wikipedia. They provide an invaluable service at no cost whatsoever. Not even ads.
So between today and New Year, I will commit to donate $5 to Wikipedia for every new membership registered between these dates. It doesn't matter if it's a monthly subscription or an annual one--it's$5 across the board. I will provide weekly updates on the number of new members (backed by screenshots) and will provide a final screenshot of the PayPal donation to Wikipedia when it's all done.
So now you can read some adult stuff and support a great cause (open knowledge) at the same time.
So far, we've got 3 new registrations, which puts the donation to Wikipedia at USD $15 on January 1. (The only memberships that count are s2Member Level 2, which are the paid subscriptions. I've included a Subscriber to show when it started.)
I decided to recognize subscriptions from December even if they were done before I made the post above. I also decided to recognize a Jan 1 subscription (in the spirit of New Year), so we have a total of TWELVE new subscribers. I've therefore donated USD $60 to Wikipedia, and I'm posting the confirmation below.
Thanks to everyone who subscribed, you guys rock!
"I'm doing it."

The Supreme Court thereby upheld an appeal filed by the Prosecutor General's Office. It did not comment on its motives. A district court and the Moscow City Court had earlier upheld the illegitimacy of a new investigation.
Lawyers acting for Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev said they would appeal the Supreme Court's ruling at the European Court of Human Rights.
"Everything that has taken place in connection with this case has already been translated into the official languages of the European Court," the former oil tycoon's lawyer, Yury Shmidt, said.
Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, who were convicted of fraud and tax evasion in 2005 and are currently serving eight-year prison sentences, were transferred to a detention center in Chita, east Siberia, last December for a new probe on charges of embezzling government shares, expropriating oil, and laundering $25 billion of illegal oil receipts in 1998-2004.
Both businessmen have denied the accusations, calling them politically motivated.
Khodorkovsky and Lebedev participated in the court session via a video link from Chita.
Once Russia's largest oil producer, Yukos collapsed after tax evasion claims, which led to the company being broken up and sold off to meet debts. The bulk of its assets were acquired by government-controlled oil company Rosneft.

Top Score for Philip Hunt
Ray White Commercial Tauranga's Philip Hunt has received a perfect score from a customer survey following his sale of a commercial building on Waihi Road, Tauranga.
The tenanted freehold site was sold for $1.65 million and the result prompted purchaser Deborah Lee Davies to give Philip Hunt a 10 out of 10 score in a Ray White customer satisfaction survey.
As part of the Ray White customer experience strategy, feedback is sought from clients in an email survey and agents are given a net promoter score (NPS).
The NPS is a simple metric that represents how likely a client would be to refer the agent to other people with a 10 the highest score possible and an indication the customer would be highly likely to recommend the agent.
"The customer satisfaction program is about putting the customer at the heart of everything we do, and measuring how well we are servicing our customers," said Ray White Director and CEO Dan White.
"We are using the program as a part of our Ray White customer experience strategy because we know that great customer service is intrinsic to business growth and profitability."
In her glowing report, Deborah Lee Davies said: "Philip has been so helpful throughout our purchase, he goes above and beyond for his clients – he's passionate, knowledgeable and so helpful.
"My brother and I are more experienced on the residential side of real estate, so this was a big purchase for us. But Philip was patient and considerate about our inexperience in the commercial area. He is very well informed and took us through every step during the process with exacting detail and allayed any concerns we had.
"Philip was very involved and invested in the sale and he had the integrity to have both parties interest and satisfaction at heart and the professionalism to carry that off. He also graciously shared contacts from his previous role as property manager which was a big help to us."

I heard on the radio this morning that Artest showed up to practice with a broom. He told the coach and player that was guarding while he took shots to hold the broom in his face. He said this is what it feels like to play against them and how hard it is to get shots off, so he wanted to simulate it as much as possible.
Sounds like Ronnie is getting serious.

Increased airline security and your rights
Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:05:34 GMT —
All eyes are on the increased security measures at the larger airports this Thanksgiving week.
Wednesday is considered "National Opt Out" day. Those against the full body scans want people to say "no" to them and get patted down to cause long delays in airports.
NBC25 talked to a local attorney about your rights.
Greg Gibbs, president of the Greater Flint American Civil Liberties Union says, "To do it on a wholesale basis is an unnecessary and ineffective way of doing it. It's an unwarranted invasion of privacy."
It's a touchy subject with some feeling violated.
Marlene McCarthy is a cancer patient. She says a security official touched her inappropriately. "Having the TSA agent then come and cup the breast prosthesis and move it around like to confirm it's really there, that was just too humiliating," says McCarthy.
Others believe it's necessary for security.
Gerald Couch, a frequent traveler says, "There's people out there that want to do harm and the harder we make it for them to do that the safer we're gonna be."
The Transportation Security Administration says random pat-downs make everyone safer.
However, Gibbs disagrees. "They have a right to keep us safe. That's a priority. But they should do it in an effective manner that does not invade our personal privacy."
Gibbs says travelers should only be subjected to increased checking if there is suspicion. He says random checks violate the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting people from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Homeland security officials say the public isn't getting the whole story about the safety measures.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says, "Very few passengers receive a pat-down. Those who decide they don't want to go through the walk through metal detector or the new AIT machines, there has to be a way to screen them and the way to screen them is with a pat-down."
Airline passengers have no recourse at this point other than to complain if they think security officials have gone too far.
Security officials say around one in 100 people will be subjected to random pat-downs. Airlines expect 24-million people to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Løvenborg, Hotel Savoy
The building, which was originally built for residential use with a hotel in the side wing, is an exceptional example of functionalistic inspired, art nouveau architecture. The modern construction built with a curtain wall is emphasised by the large windows and the facade details and ornamentation. The building is listed for protection and has gone through extensive restoration to recreate the previously altered lower facade in accordance with the style and architecture of the house.

A plan to add metal shipping containers at the Levitt Shell has been rejected by the Shelby County Board of Adjustment.
The board on Wednesday, July 26, voted down the proposal submitted by Levitt Shell officials, which called for using shipping containers to permanently house and consolidate the venue's beverage and merchandising operations.
945 Cooper St.Memphis, TN 38104
Permit Amount: $85,750
Application Date: July 2017
The Levitt Shell could be getting a new look in the coming months. Representatives from the popular Overton Park concert venue have applied for a conditional use permit with the Shelby County Board of Adjustment to add repurposed shipping containers to be used as a permanent retail structure.
It was a perfect day for sledding in the bowl of the Levitt Shell once the crushed ice was tossed down the slope by a droning spreader.
The boundary by the shell stage was a bit closer than normal as construction crews have already begun preliminary work for the $4 million in renovations and new facilities the Levitt Shell Foundation announced Sunday, Dec. 6. The group already has raised $2 million toward the project.
The Levitt Shell will add new sound and light systems and load-in area as well as a gathering place for food and concessions from two adapted trolley cars and have four permanent hilltop spaces with wooden decks for private parties.
Cooper-Young's Rocktober music series continues Monday through Thursday, Oct. 19-22, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the gazebo at Cooper Street and Young Avenue. Performers include Richard Jones (Oct. 19), Loveland Duren (Oct. 20), Anne Schorr (Oct. 21) and Nancy Apple (Oct. 22). Concerts continue throughout October. Visit cooperyoung.com.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals will meet Thursday, Feb. 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Christian Brothers University's Sabbatini Lounge, 650 East Parkway S. Jeremy Park, president of the Lipscomb Pitts Breakfast Club, will discuss his book, "Giving Back With Purpose." Cost is $20 for members and $25 for nonmembers. Visit afpmemphis.org.
The Rotary Club of Memphis East will meet Wednesday, Feb. 5, at noon at The Racquet Club of Memphis, 5111 Sanderlin Ave. Business consultant Lane Carrick will speak. Cost is $17. RSVP at Lee Hughes at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The University of Memphis will host its Black History Month opening ceremony and presentation of the Authur S. Holmon Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. James L. Netters Friday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. in the Michael D. Rose Theatre, 470 University St. Visit memphis.edu for a schedule of other Black History Month activities.
Just shy of 40 years after the band Big Star last played at the Overton Park Shell, the short-lived Memphis band is about to have a bigger summer locally than it could have envisioned in 1974.
A long-awaited documentary about what has become the city's most famous unknown band opens Friday, July 12, in a movie theater at the epicenter of the 1970s Memphis environment the band lived its short life in.
Some stories are so powerful that they don't seem to get old, no matter how often they're repeated.
That's the effect Sean Tuohy's remarks seemed to have on a crowd gathered for an evening reception Thursday, Nov. 15, at Independent Bank's office tower in East Memphis.
The Levitt Shell recently kicked off its season of free public concerts with its most well-attended opening weekend to date, continuing a 75-year tradition of bringing together Memphians from all walks of life to enjoy music in Overton Park.
The Levitt Shell opens its spring 2012 season with a kid-friendly schedule shift and an serendipitous focus on music and dance groups with roots in Africa. The new season will include as many free shows as the previous season, however they are spread out over a longer period of time, May 17 through July 1.
The Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission has announced its 2012 Emissaries of Memphis Music.
The eight women selected will receive their accolades at a celebration March 29 at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis, 3700 Central Ave.
Over the next several months, Memphis music lovers will be outdoors frequently in anticipation of good company, a relaxing evening and great tunes.
And performers of all stripes and levels of success – from storytellers to Southern guitar gods to an orchestra pumping out the swinging sounds of the 1930s – will be on deck to give them all that and more.
Mortimer Levitt was a businessman who built an empire of menswear stores around the country and who also had a deep love of the arts.
So much so that Levitt, who died in 2005, also is the namesake of a foundation set up to fund arts and community-related projects around the country.
A free outdoor film series will kick off this weekend at the Levitt Shell in Midtown Memphis' Overton Park.
Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Radiohead, B.B. King, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, U2 and the Rolling Stones are just some of the artists that will be featured in the series, which is presented by Indie Memphis and the Levitt Shell.
The Center City Commission Diversity Committee will meet Friday, June 17, at 11 a.m. at 114 N. Main St.
Talk Shoppe will present "Benefit from the Wealth of Services Offered by the Shelby County Extension Service" Wednesday, June 15, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Hyatt Place, 9161 Winchester Road. For more information, call Jo Garner at 482-0354.
With three full seasons of free, family-oriented concerts under its belt, the Levitt Shell in Overton Park has finally settled into the psyche of the Memphis live music community. Even so, its spring 2011 season will bring changes.
The Levitt Shell in Overton Park took Memphis by storm in its inaugural season by offering free music on themed-genre nights. This season, the schedule is being thrown out the window.
From May 20 to June 20, the Levitt Shell will offer five free weekly concerts featuring local and out-of-town artists in Latin, soul and R&B, Americana, children's music, and Memphis.
The Levitt Shell in Overton Park will kick off the second leg of its opening concert season May 28 with free concerts for families seeking fresh air and fun. And those involved at the historic venue anticipate a strong finish to the season, just months after a massive renovation brought the Midtown landmark back to life.
It was built for less than $12,000 in the 1930s by the city of Memphis and the Works Progress Administration.
But to relaunch the Levitt Shell at Overton Park – which the city closed a few years ago after years of inactivity and disrepair – it took a $1.3 million renovation plus the addition of new equipment, volunteers, staff, an office space and much more. That effort was years in the making, and it culminates Thursday night with the kickoff of the new shell's inaugural concert season.

This time last week Fifi's new bed arrived. After looking around for ages I decided upon this one from Marks and Spencer and I must say I have been exceptionally pleased with it. I think its good value for money and it's really well made. And no, I haven't been paid to say that!
Bed arrival day was exciting. I was a little bit worried that we might have trouble on our hands. Fifi has never slept well and has always been up at the crack of dawn, I wondered if she would stay up playing with toys all night. This has not happened at all. Instead we have a little girl who is sleeping better than she has done before. Unfortunately she still wakes up at the crack of dawn and like her brother refuses to set foot outside her bed until we have come into the room to get her.
The thing I like most though is the fabulous girliness that Fifi's bedroom brims with. It really is a little sanctuary of pink and white. I love it. I wish it was my bedroom. There really is something special about having a little girl, it enables you to really indulge your girly side. I hope she carries on liking pink, ponies and dollies…
I think I can regard this as an overall a success, don't you?

: Joico Sale at Trade Secret
I apologize for the error. I purchased the product at Trade Secret. For some reason, the name of that store never sticks in my head.
With all the talk of the Whip, recently, I couldn't resist any longer and purchased a bottle this evening. In front of the Joico display was a sale sign that read, "Buy 2 get 1 Free." I'm not made of money, but if I had used and liked the product already, I would have taken them up on that. It's a $15 savings. I have to admit, as well, that it felt good walking into a place and purchasing a product, sans the shipping fee. I just hope I like the product as much as most of you seem to. I have a lot of hair, but it's not overly thick or fine. It's medium, I would say. It seems this product works for all kinds of hair types, though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Endeavor Comes Home
The Endeavor finally made it back home to NASA's spaceport Friday. Forced to take a detour when coming home Nov. 30 because of a nasty storm at Kennedy Space Center, it ended up at California's Edwards Air Force Base where it met up with more bad weather. The space shuttle was finally attached to the top of a modified jumbo jet to make the flight back. The trek cost a whopping $1.8 million. For that amount of money, we think it should have retired in (mostly) sunny California.

Mars Lander Phoenix Signs Off
It would appear that the Phoenix has ceased to exist. NASA last heard from the Mars lander Nov. 2 and suspected that the decreasing sunshine was not sufficient for the solar arrays to charge. In all, the lander operated for about 5 months. The project's team are still monitoring the craft in hopes of communication but believes that this is it. However, the Phoenix lives on as the analysis of data is studied further. Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program in Washington said, "With the upcoming launch of the Mars Science Laboratory, the Mars Program never sleeps."

iShoe Detects Balance
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Design, Science
Erez Lieberman, a Harvard-MIT graduate student, has devised the iShoe that will help physicians detect balance problems before falls occur. Given a $50,000.00 grant from the Lunar Ventures Competition to take it past the prototype stage, Lieberman originally developed the shoe for NASA to help them monitor balance problems incurred by astronauts after they return from space. While there he managed to come up with a new system for collecting data and an algorithm to analyze it.
Because his own grandmother had a bad fall a while back, Lieberman realized that the tech could help others. The iSole may also be equipped with an alarm that would let other family members know that a fall has occurred.

NASA Announces End Date of Space Shuttle
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation
NASA has announced that the final flight of their shuttles will be May 31, 2010. It will be carrying spare parts for the ISS. One of the flights before that time will be taking up the 1.8 ton Cupola, a European-built structure that gives astronauts a 360º view of space. Going up December 10, 2009, the space agency believes that this will be an incredible outlet for pictures. Once the shuttle has been retired, European and Japanese ATVs and Russian Progress crafts will be doing all the flying. And there will always be the commercial vehicles for taking billionaires into the final frontier.

Scientists Believe Mars May Sustain Veggies
Now that the Phoenix Lander has found possible evidence of ice, scientists are even more optimistic now that they have taken soil samples that shows a high alkaline level. Sam Kounaves, lead investigator for the wet chemistry laboratory, claims "It is the type of soil you would probably have in your back yard, you know, alkaline. You might be able to grow asparagus in it really well ... it is very exciting."
The soil also showed traces of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, among other elements. We are not so sure it is all that exciting. How many people do you know that want to grow asparagus?

Is There Ice on Mars?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Rumors, Science, Transportation
NASA believes that material found on Mars recently may really be ice. When images from the trench dubbed "Snow White 2" were received from the Phoenix Mars lander, scientists believed the white surface shown was either salt or ice clumps. Because many of them were gone the next day, the researchers ruled out the presence of salt, although the soil sample didn't yield evidence of water.
Because the Phoenix is undergoing adjustment to its software, it has been a bit lax in its duties. We suspect that when it gets going it will get right on it, unless those pesky Martians try to sabotage the project again before the 90 day time frame is complete.

SnoMotes Don't Mind the Cold
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation
Researchers from Georgia Tech and Penn State have been working on 3 autonomous bots for cold locales such as Greenland and Antarctica. SnoMotes, funded by NASA, use cameras and sensors to navigate.The idea of the design actually came from a child's snowmobile kit.The robots are sent to certain locations from base camps, then collect data for their handler. The scientist can then reassign location if necessary. Eventually the team is hoping that the prototype will have a full range of sensors. The Snomotes will be field tested in Alaska and on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry next month.

Goodell Still Seen As Favorite As NFL Owners Begin Meeting
Published August 7, 2006
GETTING TO KNOW YOU: The following presents brief biographical information about each candidate (THE DAILY).
L. Reynolds
A. Shattuck III
Age: 51
Chair, President & CEO of Constellation Energy Group, Inc. in Baltimore, Maryland.
Born October 7 1954 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Graduated from Williams College in 1976 and received his MBA from Stanford Univ. in 1980.
Married to wife Molly, who made the Ravens cheerleading squad for the second year this year.
They have five children.
IS THIS THE WEEK? In N.Y., Gary Myers cites a source as saying that "if doubts arise about Goodell, ... Tagliabue's successor will not be picked this week, with the owners asking for more time to familiarize themselves with the three outside candidates" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 8/7). But NFLPA Exec Dir Gene Upshaw said the owners will stay in Chicago "until they get a commissioner. They better because (Tagliabue) is heading to China, and we have to get that done" ("NFL Total Access," NFL Network, 8/4).
CLUBHOUSE LEADER: NBC's Andrea Kremer reported, "The perception of some owners is that a weak field of three candidates from outside the league makes the deck stacked in favor of Goodell, ... and that has some owners decrying what they call the transparency of the selection process" ("Sunday Night Football," 8/6). Former 49ers and Browns President Carmen Policy said of Goodell, "If I was still involved, there'd be no question –- I'd want someone of Roger's character, Roger's experience, Roger's background and Roger's dedication. The question is, is there someone else who fills that role? I don't see it" (Newark STAR-LEDGER, 8/6).
OTHER CANDIDATES: In Jacksonville, Vito Stellino wrote Goodell and Levy are the "only two candidates familiar to most NFL owners" (FLORIDA TIMES-UNION, 8/6). In Cleveland, Tony Grossi wrote many inside the NFL "believe the only candidate who might upset Goodell is Levy" (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 8/6). In N.Y., Judy Battista wrote the inclusion of Levy "surprised some observers," but "acknowledged Levy's impact on the league." Levy, whose "career mirrors" Tagliabue's, is "considered one of the top practitioners of sports law in the country." Raiders Owner Al Davis, a "well-known adversary" of Levy, said, "He has been very good in league legal work. I've had to fight him quite a bit." But one unidentified owner said of Levy, "I just don't see him carrying the day with the other owners and convincing the owners to pick him over others" (N.Y. TIMES, 8/5). The N.Y. DAILY NEWS' Myers wrote Goodell's "strongest challenge will come from" Reynolds (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 8/6). The N.Y. TIMES' Battista notes Reynolds "was proposed by" Patriots Owner Robert Kraft, who "will presumably support him, at least in the early voting" (N.Y. TIMES, 8/7).
KEEPING YOU INFORMED: We will be on the ground in Chicago this week as NFL owners meet to name a new commissioner. We will be blogging once the meetings commence today and will continue filing until the meetings adjourn.

The Social Sciences building at the University of California San Diego was briefly evacuated Friday night following a lab accident.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department received a call at 5:52 p.m. that someone in a lab had accidentally mixed silver nitrate and ethanol, department spokesman Lee Swanson said. The total mixture measured about a pint, and it was believed to be potentially explosive,
Only a few people were in the building at the time, Swanson said. A fire alarm sounded and they evacuated.
San Diego fire and county hazardous materials responded, along with the bomb squad and UCSD safety officials.
About 7:40 p.m., the San Diego hazmat crew and the bomb squad took readings and determined the mixture was stable, Swanson said.
Following a consultation with chemists and FBI experts, it was determined that the mixture was flammable but not explosive, Swanson said.
The mixture was put in an absorbent container and removed from campus. County hazmat will handle disposal, he said.

How to tell it's not a good day: couldn't fall asleep, couldn't wake up, forgot to take half of the trash outside for pickup day today, main web server inaccessible this morning due to provider hardware glitch, article subject somewhat unhappy about certain changes in article during copyediting last week, other people in company unhappy with article subject is unhappy, 80% done with book project due in a week, had to make a business phone call today, trying to talk to two companies comparing mortgages, can't seem to accomplish very much at all, dull ache in my left wrist.
What almost makes up for everything: a second Presents Truck just arrived, delivering copies of BSD Hacks. Ahh, some of the pain of editing that book has vanished by seeing it in print. (It wasn't particularly painful, but I don't find book editing completely natural yet.)

Bill Henry increased his razor-thin lead Thursday afternoon to win the race for Lincoln County commissioner after provisional ballots were counted.
After the polls closed Tuesday on Election Day, Henry held a 9-vote lead, but 50 provisional ballots were yet to be counted. All but eight of the provisional ballots were valid, Lincoln County Clerk Becky Rossell said.
The race to represent western Lincoln County (district 3) turned into a close, three-way affair. Officially, Henry had 667 votes. Main received 655 and Ron Books, 574.
A total of 1,896 ballots were cast for the seat. Henry's margin of victory was 0.63 percent.
An automatic recount of the votes won't be conducted, Rossell said. The margin would have had to be 6 votes or less to trigger an automatic recount, or 1-percent of the winner's total.
Henry advances alone to November general election ballot, because all three candidates were Republicans. Since no Democrats ran in the primary race, Henry will be unchallenged unless someone mounts a write-in campaign, which is rare.
The non-partisan canvassing board also checked all the early ballots along with the Election Day ballots and provisional ballots.
Provisional ballots are cast when a voter arrives at the poll but is not listed on the roll, due to a change of address, change of last name, or failure to register. The voter registers at the poll and then casts their ballot, which is set aside and marked as provisional until the canvassing board checks it for accuracy.
"I feel good about it, it was a clean race," Henry said. "I'm not much of a mudslinger. We had no problem with each other, commingling and setting together Monday at the county commissioners' meeting."
Henry said he tried to be honest and tell voters the way it is.
"Like you, I don't try to be something I'm not but by gosh I stand up for what I am," he told the Bulletin. "I feel real good about the way it's turned out."
Henry said he knocked on doors, but only about half as many as he originally intended to. He has a job as real estate sales and other things going on. He also said he doesn't have as much energy as he once did. He said he and his family went door-to-door through most of Sutherland and also the center of Hershey, but didn't get to North Platte like they hoped.
"I thought everything went good except for that," he said.
Henry grew up in the far northeast corner of the county.
Henry graduated from District 14 grade school in the Garfield area. But his parents moved to North Platte before his freshman year and he graduated from North Platte High.
His dad bought a dairy southeast of town and developed it into a beef cattle feedlot. When Bill took over, he expanded it. He also bought a semi-truck during the 1980s and drove nights to earn enough money to survive the farm crisis. He expanded the trucking business and operated coast-to-coast.
He started a custom silage harvesting company along with the feedlot, which became a separate enterprise in 1995.
"We chopped virtually all the forage that was chopped in Lincoln County and the surrounding area," he said. "I probably know every country road that we have, from a business end."
Henry was inclined to run for commissioner eight years ago, but stepped aside in favor of Willis Roethemeyer. Roethemeyer chose not to run for reelection.
Henry also served on the North Platte school board. He's spent 23 years on the board of All Points Coop of Gothenburg and is in his 27th year on the Dawson Public Power board.

Hello, I have following problem: A user "xy" shouldn't have any rights to a table, but needs data from the content of the table. My idea was to setup a PL/PGSQL procedure to fetch the data from the table, so that the user only is allowed to access the procedure. I also tried using a SQL function, but this doesn't work, too. Working with views may be a solution - or are e.g. cursors in pl/pgsql the solution ?? The problem i run into is, that although i can read the data and return it, I can not return more than one row each function call. Is it possible to return a whole resultset ? My last try was: drop function test(int); create function test(int) returns table_name as ' select * from table_name where column_name1>= $1 order by column_name1; ' language sql; select * from test(1) ; The pl/pgsql variant: drop function test(); CREATE FUNCTION test() RETURNS text AS ' declare target table_name%ROWTYPE; begin select * into target from table_name ; return target.column_name1 || target.column_name2; end; ' LANGUAGE plpgsql; select test(); But in PL/pgsql i am not able to return a cursor or something like this and I am not able to return more than one row. So i have got 2 maybe solutions, but none of them works. Has anyone a hint, how to "hide" original tables and making their data selectable to some users ? The result really should be a select a.* , b.* from a,b where a.state!="imgonewild" .... Thanks in advance, Andre

Deploying the .NET Framework 2.0 Using Active Directory (Windows 2000 Server)
Microsoft Corporation
March 2006
Applies to:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Summary: This article describes deployment scenario for .NET Framework 2.0 using Active Directory. (7 printed pages)
Extract the Dotnetfx.exe Files to Deploy the .NET Framework
Create a .NET Framework Package in Active Directory
Setting the Elevated Privileges via Group Policy
Verification That Package Is Ready to be Assigned to Machines
Verify an Active Directory Package
Install the .NET Framework Package
Active Directory allows you to deploy software with administrative privileges across a network. This section describes the specific procedures for using Active Directory to deploy the Windows Installer setup package for Dotnetfx.exe across a network. For additional Active Directory product information and documentation, see the Active Directory home page.
To deploy the .NET Framework redistributable package, Dotnetfx.exe, with administrator privileges, you must extract the Windows Installer file, netfx.msi, from the Dotnetfx.exe file. Netfx.msi is the file you will use to deploy the .NET Framework.
Before you can install a Windows Installer setup package on an Active Directory client computer, the client computer must have the Windows Installer installation service installed. The procedure described in this section assumes that Windows Installer 3.0 or later is installed on all client computers prior to the deployment of Dotnetfx.exe. Windows Installer 3.1 is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. Note that these installer files are not designed for deployment using Active Directory. They must either be installed on each computer individually or electronically using Systems Management Server.
In addition, there are minimum configuration requirements that must be met in order to install the .NET Framework on a computer. For specific software and hardware requirements and recommendations, see the Minimum Configuration Requirements. After the network administrator has ensured that all networked computers on which Dotnetfx.exe will be installed meet the minimum configuration requirements, perform the following tasks and their individual procedures in the order presented.
Extract the Dotnetfx.exe Files to Deploy the .NET Framework
First step is to extract files contained in redistributable dotnetfx.exe file.
- Download Dotnetfx.exe to the root directory of the C drive on your local computer.
- Open a command prompt.
- Change the directory to the root of the C drive, type:
c: cd \
- From the command prompt to create a directory in which to copy Dotnetfx.exe, type:
mkdir dotnetfx
- Extract the files to the dotnetfx directory, type:
dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"msiexec /qb /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=c:\dotnetfx"
- Close the command prompt window.
- Navigate to the C:\dotnetfx folder in Windows Explorer and verify that the files were extracted.
- Move the dotnetfx folder and all its contents to the server that you will use for deployment.
Create a .NET Framework Package in Active Directory
After you have moved the dotnetfx folder to the proper location for deployment, the next step is to create an Active Directory package for the .NET Framework.
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then point to Administrative Tools. Click Active Directory Users and Computers. The Active Directory Users and Computers tree is displayed.
- Right-click the domain node at the top of the tree. Click Properties on the shortcut menu. The Properties dialog box is displayed.
- Click the Group Policy tab.
- Click the Edit button. A window is displayed with the Default Domain Policy tree.
- There are two alternatives when choosing how the software will be assigned. You can select the Computer Configuration node in Group Policy to set policies that are applied to computers, regardless of who logs on to them. Alternatively, you can select the User Configuration node in Group Policy to set policies that apply to users, regardless of the logon computer. For the purpose of the example, select and expand the User Configuration node. Expand the Software Settings folder located under the User Configuration node.
Note Ensure that you map to the shared location on the Active Directory server; otherwise, it will not let you create a package for installation.
- Right-click Software installation. Point to New, and then click Package on the shortcut menu.
- A dialog box is displayed that prompts you for the path to the Windows Installer file (.msi) for the package. Browse to the location where you copied the dotnetfx folder, and click the netfx.msi file.
- Choose the Advanced Published or Assigned selection and click the OK button.
- A window is displayed where you can choose to auto install or publish the software. If you choose Auto Install, the software will be installed automatically on every computer in the domain. If you choose Publish, the software is added to the list of available products, but is not installed unless a user chooses to install it. After you have modified all necessary items, click the OK button.
- Exit the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
Alternatively, if you selected the User Configuration node in Group Policy to set policies that apply to users, regardless of the logon computer, follow these steps:
- Right-click Software installation. Point to New, and then click Package on the shortcut menu.
- A dialog box is displayed that prompts you for the path to the Windows Installer file (.msi) for the package. Browse to the location where you copied the dotnetfx folder, and click the netfx.msi file.
- Select Advanced Published or Assigned and click OK.
- A window is displayed where you can choose to auto install or publish the software. If you choose Auto Install, the software will be installed automatically on every computer in the domain. If you choose Publish, the software is added to the list of available products, but is not installed unless a user chooses to install it. After you have modified all necessary items, click OK.
- Exit the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
Setting the Elevated Privileges via Group Policy
Since .NET Framework package (like most packages) allows only local administrators of the machine to install the package, you should use elevated privileges to advertise the package per-machine in Group Policy.
As an administrator you can create policies for one user, one computer, or a group of users. See the System Policy Editor Help for more information on creating special policy profiles. Also, see the Group Policy snap-in Help for more information on configuring policies.
Follow these steps to set this policy for deploying the .NET Framework:
- On the Start menu, point to Programs, then Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
- In the console tree, right-click the domain or organizational unit for which you want to set the policy.
- Click Properties, and then click the Group Policy tab.
- Select a Group Policy Object in the Group Policy Objects Links box and click Edit.
- Open the Local Computer Policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Component\Windows Installer folder.
- In the details pane, double-click the Always install with elevated privileges policy.
- In the Group Policy Property dialog box, enable the policy, select the check box to turn the setting on, and then click OK.
- Open the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Component\Windows Installer folder and repeat Steps 6 and 7.
You can use the System Policy Editor and Windows Installer policy to set the Always install with elevated privileges policy.
Verification That Package Is Ready to be Assigned to Machines
After you complete the setup of the .NET Framework package in Group Policy, the next step is to verify that package is available for installation. To follow are instructions on how administrators need to modify settings for the newly created package within Active Directory.
General Tab
Once you have assigned the .NET Framework package, relevant information about the package is automatically displayed on the General tab.
Deployment Tab
On the Deployment tab, you can specify whether to publish or assign .NET Framework. Note that if an administrator chooses to open the snap-in under Computer Configuration, the Published option is unavailable.
Under Deployment options, select check boxes to specify when and how the .NET Framework is installed on users' computers. You can set any of the following options:
- Install the .NET Framework automatically when users open a file associated with a .NET Framework application. This setting is turned on by default.
- For other options please check for details in the Group Policy Help and ensure we provide coverage on those areas.
Under Installation user interface options, you can specify how much of the .NET Framework Setup is displayed to users during the installation process. The recommended setting (and the default) is Basic, which installs redistributable quietly and requires no user interaction. (The Basic setting corresponds to the /qb- command-line option.)
To set additional deployment options, click Advanced. In the Advanced Deployment Options dialog box, you can:
- Specify that Windows 2000 or .NET Server should install Redist even if the Redist installation language differs from the Windows 2000 or .NET Server's installation language.
- Remove unmanaged Redist installations when you deploy Redist through Group Policy software installation and maintenance.
Upgrades Tab
If you are already managing a .NET Framework installation, you can use the Upgrades tab to deploy a new version of the product.
Categories Tab
Associating the .NET Framework with a category can make the .NET Framework appear in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel when using publishing.
Modifications Tab
Use the Modifications tab to apply a transform (.mst file) to your .NET Framework (if any). Click Add, select your transform, and then click Open to add it to the Modifications tab.
Note that you can add multiple transforms, but you can apply only one transform to a given .NET Framework installation, and you can apply the transform only when you assign the .NET Framework.
Security Tab
The Security tab displays standard Windows-based security options. You can fine-tune your .NET Framework deployment by filtering the Group Policy software installation settings through ACLs.
Verify an Active Directory Package
- Log on to any computer that is a part of the domain. Click the Start button, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
- Click the Add New Programs button. The .NET Framework installation package should appear in the list of available software.
- If the .NET Framework installation package does not appear in the list of available software, the package is incorrectly configured in Active Directory. Return to the Active Directory Users and Computers console and double-click the package to reconfigure it.
Install the .NET Framework Package
If the network administrator chooses the Publish option when creating the .NET Framework package in Active Directory, the package is added to the list of software available to computers in the domain. Users who want to install the package can follow these procedures on a client computer.
- Click the Start button, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
- Click the Add New Programs button.
- In the list of available software, select the .NET Framework package and click the Add button. This will launch Microsoft .NET Framework Setup.
Note Windows Installer 3.0 must be installed on the client computer prior to launching Microsoft .NET Framework Setup. Setup will fail if Windows Installer 3.0 is not installed.
- When the installer displays the Microsoft .NET Framework Setup window, click the Next button.
- To proceed with installation, click the Accept option button, and then click the Next button. The installer will begin to copy files and update the system.
- When installation is complete, the installer displays a dialog box. Click the OK button.
Note To properly uninstall the .NET Framework package, you should also use the Windows Add or Remove Programs option.

I Just Want to Straighten my Profile. What Would You Recomend? Open/close Rhinoplasty? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Hump Reduction
A hump reduction can be done using a closed approach with any incisions inside your nose so that there are no visible external scars. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can best address your concerns to obtain the results you desire.
Learn more: http://www.kimberlyleemd.com/procedures2/rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty to straighten profile
A simple hump reduction can be done through a closed rhinoplasty. If osteotomies or tip adjustments need to be performed, they can be done through the incisions placed on the internal portion of the nose. Open rhinoplasty is totally unnecessary for this type of nose.
Nasal profile
Your photograph is of poor quality so I cannot accurately assess your needs. However, a major component of your profile is your chin. A small dorsum nose hump can be removed through an intra-nasal approach. You will also need to consider a chin implant.
Best of Luck,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.
You might also like...
Open versus Closed Rhinoplasty, External versus Endonasal for Rhinoplasty
I believe that the endonasal (closed) approach is always preferable whenever possible. I think you would be a great candidate for an endonasal approach.
I think that these patients have less recovery time, less tip swelling and less numbness to contend with.
Some of the major reasons for external approach are
1.) Revision Surgery
2.) Assymetry of the Base of the Nose and the Defining Cartilages
3.) Above Average Requirements for Tip Defining or Deprojection
I agree that the experience of the surgeon is probably more important for you than the surgical approach.
Best wishes,
Dr. Todd Hobgood

Open vs closed
Your goal can be accomplished by either an open or closed approach. The skill and experience of the surgeon is more important than the approach used

I Just Want to Straighten my Profile. What Would You Recomend? Open/close Rhinoplasty?
Your photo shows a dorsal hump that could be removed using a Closed Rhinoplasty with medial and lateral osteotomies (breaking the bones). Be sure the Rhinoplasty Surgeon, you select understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal beauty) for the creation of a naturally more attractive nose and face.
Learn more: http://www.thepalmercodeinstitute.com
Open or closed rhinoplasty
It doesn't matter. You should be more concerned about the overall result you want to achieve, not the tools the doctor uses to get it. Make sure you and your surgeon are communicating well about your goal and then let him or her tell you what they think will work best in their hands to get you what you want. If you go for several consultations you'll find some surgeons comfortable with closed, others open and variations in between.

Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty
Your nasal dorsum is composed of a bony and cartilaginous component. Both components in your side view need to be reduced to optimize your appearance. The issue is resection of the appropriate amount of tissue not the technique that is used. I would recommend and experienced Surgeon for your surgery!

Open or closed is not the question to ask for removing a bump on the nose
Open or closed rhinoplasty is an approach or different means to a result. What is more important is the skill of the surgeon to achieve the results you desire. I personally use a closed approach for most of my primary rhinoplasties, but I know many wondeful surgeons who do everything open. What I suggest is see the best nose doctors you can find and let them discuss what is best for you.

Open vs Clossed Rhinoplasty to Straighten Profile
Most experienced surgeons would do a closed rhinoplasty to straighten your profile. Having said that pick an experienced surgeon who has natural results, not the technique.

Rice bags are a wonderful little item used to relieve headaches, sinus pressure, and muscle and joint aches. When flowers and herbs are added to the bag, they can be used for stress relief and aroma therapy. They take literally minutes to make and can provide years of relief!
10" square of soft, tightly woven fabric (I love using flannel)
1 1/2 – 2 cups rice (do not use dehydrated rice, like Minute Rice)
Optional: 1 – 2 tablespoons dried herbs or flowers. (Note: avoid using herbs or flowers that have a high oil content. These can become rancid, or if using it near your eyes, can be an irritant.)
1] Cut a 10" square.
2] Fold in half with right sides together. Pin.
3] Using a 1/2" seam allowance, sew around the 3 pinned sides, leaving a 3 inch opening in the center of one end. Trim corner seams to reduce bulk.
4] Turn right side out and iron.
5] Fill with rice. You may chose to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of herbs or dried flowers.
6] Slip stitch opening closed.
To use:
1] Microwave for 30 – 60 seconds. Start with a shorter time and test. The rice should be warm… not hot. WARNING: Do not overheat. It could cause serious burns!
2] Place on desired location. Remember… it should be warm, not hot!
Note: Always heat in a clean microwave. If your microwave is less than clean, like mine can be, place you rice bag on a plate or dishtowel. You cannot wash the rice bag, so once it gets dirty you need to throw it out.

World War 3 'Kickstarter' from Second City Network Pokes Fun at Obama
A mock Kickstarter campaign from improv comedy group Second City Network uploaded to YouTube is seeking $1.6 trillion in funds to kickstart World War III by pushing for intervention in Syria.
The video, "Help Kickstart World War III," says that "President Obama needs your help starting World War III! Find out how you can help."
"Our president can't launch into another war without you! And remember, when we voted for him in 2008 and 2012, we promised to support him no matter what," an actor in the video says.
The video pokes fun at the blind worship of Obama by some of his supporters.
Another actor says that "even a small donation will make all the donation," because as another put it, "World War III is a important and very progressive war that Obama tells me is very important … so it must be!"
"World War III is not going to be like those other Republican wars fought on just 1 percent of the world; this war is going to be fought on 99 percent of the world," another actor in the video says. "It will be everywhere: Russia, China, Africa, Cincinnati, your favorite brunch spot — the one with those … ranchero breakfast burritos."
It said that $10 will get donors a shout-out on social media, while $25 will get a supporter a piece of rubble from a Middle Eastern country. It added that $100 will get a day pass for a refugee camp equipped with Wi-Fi.
According to RT.com, the video was produced by Second City Network, which has theaters in Chicago and Toronto.
The video has already generated nearly 2 million views on YouTube.
Skit writer John Loos told the Daily Beast: "I was interested in the nation's reaction to the Syria stuff and seeing the political sides kind of flip sides from where they were five or 10 years ago with Iraq and Afghanistan."
"The idea is so ludicrous, it's obviously something that no one would support, so I think there's a commonality in that," he added. "Comedy can work as a sugar coating for tough topics. We live in a time where people are pretty sensitive."

A referee at the Oklahoma Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on whether justices should allow a review of a 1989 Corporation Commission case involving Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. that passed with the vote of a bribed commissioner.
A referee at the Oklahoma Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on whether justices should allow a review of a 1989 Corporation Commission case involving Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. that passed with the vote of a bribed commissioner.
An attorney for two telephone company customers, Nichols Hills Mayor Sody Clements and retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Richard Burpee, said justices should reverse the court's 1991 decision that forbids review of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission case.
"Southwestern Bell and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission made this utter mess, and as such, the court should require they correct it," attorney Andrew Waldron said.
Waldron said the high court's 1991 ruling was made before bribery allegations were made public. Former Corporation Commissioner Bob Hopkins and William Anderson, an attorney hired by Southwestern Bell, were convicted in 1995 and served time in federal prison.
The commission case — started in 1986 but not decided until 1989 — involved what Southwestern Bell should do with a $30 million windfall created a by a change in federal tax law. At issue was whether the surplus should be reinvested in company operations or refunded to consumers.
The commission voted 2-1 to adopt a settlement proposed by Southwestern Bell and the commission's public utility division to reinvest the money in company operations. Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony, who took office in 1989, cast the dissenting vote.
Excluding Hopkins' bribed vote, the commission's 1989 order didn't get a majority of the three-person commission, Waldron said.
"Fraudulently obtained judgments should never be final," Waldron said.
Sody and Clements want the court to grant them class-action status to review the 1989 case on behalf of customers for possible refunds and interest of up to $14.3 billion.
Anthony, who worked with the FBI on the criminal cases against Hopkins and Anderson, told court referee Greg Albert the bribery scheme also included Southwestern Bell employees.
"Multiple executives and multiple attorneys for Southwestern Bell Telephone were involved in bribery or attempted bribery or other forms of criminal conduct," Anthony said.
Anthony said the 1989 case should be sent back to the Corporation Commission for further review and possible refunds.
Clyde Muchmore, an attorney for AT&T Inc., the holding company for Southwestern Bell, said no telephone company employee was ever charged or convicted of a crime. Muchmore said reopening the case wasn't in the public interest and wasn't practical more than two decades later.
Muchmore pointed to the 1991 court decision that said the commission acted in its legislative capacity when deciding what Southwestern Bell should do with the $30 million surplus in 1989. Those legislative decisions by the commission were based on policy and cannot be set aside by the court, he said.
Previous actions by the court and the commission regarding the 1989 case should make it final, Muchmore said.
"Let's see what position this puts the court in if you say if a commissioner was improperly influenced, that you can come to this court and have it looked at," Muchmore said. "Today it's bribery. Tomorrow, it's influence by campaign contributions, or it's prior history, or it's influence by ex parte contacts. That would invite endless pursuits, all brought in this court."
Attorneys for the state attorney general's office, which represents consumers in utility matters before the commission, opposed reopening the case. Attorney Tess Hager said the commission decided in 2003 that it wasn't in the best interests of utility consumers to reopen the case.
"It properly had all facts before it regarding bribery and viewed, in light of all those facts, to not reopen the cause," Hager said.
Albert will issue a report to justices summarizing case arguments. Based on the court's summer schedule, he said they may make a decision by September.

i have a badly deviated septum and i must have it corrected before i get pregnant again because it was miserable last time not being able to breathe. i am also opting for a rhinoplasty as well because i want to get it done all at once.. How soon after my prcedures can i get pregnant? after initial recovery? or should i wait for a while?
How Soon Can I Get Pregnant After Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Doctor Answers 12
Pregnancy and Rhinoplasty
I know of no reason why you cannot get prgenant right after your surgery is complete. However, the improvement from septal surgery may not be immediate. The swollen tissues inside your nose that result from a deviated septum may take months to resolve. Therefore you may want to wait until you have determined that you are breathing easily from your nose. Good luck!
Ask your OB with regards to pregnancy after rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasy procedures are often performed under a general anesthesia, or can be performed under a local technique with sedation. When our patients are given a choice most opt for the general anesthesia. Our patients are fully healed in four weeks and are allowed full physical activity, no matter how strenuous. Nasal stuffiness can persist however for as long as six weeks after.
I discussed this issue with our anesthesia and OB doctors, and the consensus is that they would like several normal cycles after the anesthesia, and of course you must be off all unapproved medications. In our location about all that is approved are prenatal vitamins and Tylenol. The rhinoplasty has little bearing on becoming pregnant.
On a final note, remember that nasal congestion or stuffiness can be a sign of pregnancy, and can last through term. The septal surgery may reduce the problem with your second pregnancy, but the problem will clear in most over time. Saline spray or a cold air humidifier can help. Your OB would be very unhappy with the suggestion of steroid injections in the nose.
Best of luck.

You can get pregnant soon after rhinoplasty.
Hi Renai,
You can get pregnant soon after rhinoplasty; we usually recommend waiting two weeks before having vigorous exercise. Light exercise after one week.
If you wish to correct both cosmetic and functional (breathing) concerns at the same time, septorhinoplasty is the answer. If you only want to improve your breathing, then there is a non-surgical method of correcting breathing problems by using Somnoplasty which uses radiofrequency to reduce the tissue volume of the inferior nasal turbinate. The procedure is quick, easy, and performed in the office under local anesthesia.
Patients who are suffering from nasal obstruction during pregnancy often benefit from Kenalog injections in their inferior nasal turbinate, which is safe when performed by an experienced and meticulously careful surgeon. The treatment should only be performed by a well trained nasal specialist. Relief from the breathing obstruction can be felt within a day or two.
Do choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck with your new nose and baby. Be well.

Not a problem.
As you are planning a functional airway surgery (septal deviation repair) as well as a cosmetic rhinoplasty, you should be able to be pregnant without too much trouble. The increased fluid of pregnancy may initially give you trouble but probably not to the extent of your previous pregnancies. In my estimation most internal swelling of the nose disappears after 6-8 weeks, so getting pregnant after then would be o.k.
More importantly, you should make sure that you are far enough into the post-operative period to be off all narcotics, etc. so that these drugs can't can affect a developing embryo. And, as Dr. Seify recommended, make sure you aren't pregnant on the day of surgery to avoid the risk of anesthetic danger to a developing embryo. Good luck with the new nose and the new little one :-)
Dr. Shah
Safe to have Rhinoplasty after pregnancy
It should not pose a problem, but remember that during pregnancy, you will have some weight gain in the form of fluid retention. Therefore, you will have areas of your body swell, including your face, and perhaps your nose.
Don't be alarmed and just hang in there. Having said that, some women don't get any water retention at all, and may just depend on your body.
Good luck!
Safe to get pregnant soon after Rhinoplasty
It's safe to get pregnant soon after your septo-rhinoplasty. The anesthetic is out of your system very soon after the procedure and there should be no health concern regarding the timing. The main question is one of convenience.
Most people with badly deviated septums experience improved breathing even soon after the procedure. Remember, though, that you will have some swelling both internally and externally that will take several months to resolve completely. Hormonal-related swelling from pregnancy can exacerbate this. It usually doesn't get too bad though until about the halfway point so you should find you have plenty of time to recover and enjoy the breathing improvements. At least that'll be one less thing to think about. Good luck and take care.
Rhinoplasty and pregnancy
There really is no definitive answer for this, but common sense would dictate to wait one or two cycles to get pregnant until you are sure everything is healed and moving in the right direction.
No problem with pregnancy a month after Rhinoplasty
You get pregnant when it is a good time for you. You would want to be off all medication and have the drugs from anesthesia gone from your system. Your breathing should be good within 3 weeks from the surgery and the outside will continue to heal. I would tell my patient that within a month from the surgery, pregnancy would not be a problem.
Time for recovery
You can have your surgery any time before you get pregnant, make sure that you are not pregnant on the surgery day of course!
If the septal deviation is that bad, try to get it done as soon as possible and give 6-8 weeks for healing.
Learn more: http://newportplastic.com/rhinoplasty/
Wait at least 1 week after the Rhinoplasty
Seriously, the surgery will not be affected by a pregnancy after a few weeks. Therefore, you can get pregnant after a few weeks without worrying about it affecting the final outcome of your rhinoplasty.

SACRAMENTO — Snow surveyors today reported that water content in California's snowpack is only 17 percent of normal, meaning below average water supply this summer, a press release from the Department of Water Resources states.
After a record dry January and February in much of the state, DWR currently projects it will only be able to deliver 35 percent of requested amounts from the State Water Project.
The 29 public agencies that purchase SWP water requested just over four million acre-feet of water for this calendar year. Collectively, the agencies supply more than 25 million Californians and nearly a million acres of irrigated agriculture.
In addition to the light snowpack and extended periods of little rainfall, pumping restrictions to protect Delta smelt and salmon are another reason for the low water delivery estimate, DWR said.
November and December were unusually wet, but between November 1 and February 28, fishery agency restrictions prevented DWR from pumping more than 550,000 acre-feet of water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to store in San Luis Reservoir.
Today San Luis, a summer supply pool for both the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project, is only 54 percent full.
The November and December storms built California's snowpack water content to 134 percent of normal by Jan. 2, when DWR and cooperating agencies conducted this season's first manual survey. Manual surveys and electronic readings have recorded the water content decline since dry weather set in. Statewide, the season's second manual survey on Jan. 29 found the snowpack water content at 93 percent of normal for the date. On Feb. 28, the season's third manual survey found the snowpack water content at 66 percent of average On Mach 28, about the time the snowpack is normally at its peak, its water content was recorded at 52 percent of normal.
Snow normally provides about a third of the water for California's homes and farms as it melts into streams, reservoirs and aquifers.
