An experiment in Lancaster, Calif. has found some unexpected results when it comes to the sound of chirping birds and crime prevention.
After purchasing sound bytes of various songbirds from a sound consultant in London and combing them with soothing music, Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris had the recording play from speakers placed along the main streets of Lancaster.
Crime rates in the city have dropped significantly since the bird recordings began their song. Minor crime has fallen 15 percent and major crimes have decreased 6 percent, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The recording has been calming the people of Lancaster, Parris said, making them less inclined to act criminally.
"We're not seeing that impulse-control crime," Parris said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "It has just been astonishing to us how the community has changed as a result of a one-half-mile stretch."
Eileen Bjornstrom, an MU associate professor of sociology, did not rule out the possibility of the chirping having some affect, but she said there could be other reasons for the trend in Lancaster.
"Crime has been declining in many places for a while now, including Lancaster." Bjornstrom said. "If they were already experiencing a decline, the continued decline may have continued regardless of the chirping. This is not to say there is no value in the chirping. If people like it, then it probably does no harm and it may put those who enjoy it in a better mood, but that is an issue that is separate from whether it reduces crime or not."
Columbia has been following the nationwide pattern. Since 2009, there has been a drop in larceny theft throughout the city.
While Bjornstrom had never heard of any studies that connected pleasant sounds to criminal tendencies, she did know of a few that discussed the effects of unpleasant sounds.
"Persistent unpleasant neighborhood noise has been related to health because it can be stressful," she said, referencing car horns, police sirens or gunshots. "Excessive unpleasant noise may tend to occur in the same places as crime, but it would likely be because the areas that do not have strong informal social control are less able to control both crime and excessive noise, not because noise causes crime."
Some MU students said they thought the bird initiative could be plausible.
"It seems like their might be some soothing aspects to having bird music played in the streets, but at the same time, I don't know if there's much science to back it up," freshman Aaron Kressig said.
Others were not convinced.
"I think it's a waste of money," freshman James Benoist said. "If you put chirping noises in downtown St. Louis it wouldn't have any effect."
Some students, such as sophomore Michael Derstine, thought the idea was ridiculous.
"I don't think that it's valid," Derstine said. "Even if there is a small chance that there's a correlation between the two, there's no evidence to prove it is the cause."

Don't Be Afraid of China
Here's what President Barack Obama could say in his State of the Union address:
China is rising. Income per capita is climbing steadily, and within 20 years, its share of world income will rival that of the European Union.
We shouldn't be afraid -- or shrink from the economic opportunities this will present.
I remind those who fear that Chinese banks will take over our financial system -- or the world -- that people said the same about Japanese banks in the 1980s. Yes, China's banks are becoming larger as the economy grows. They are becoming more international, too. These changes aren't a threat.
In fact, the opposite is true: It is financial instability in China -- and in other parts of the world -- that is the greater worry. We need to make sure our system is strong and independent enough to withstand big shocks. I hope our regulators will continue to push for higher levels of equity capital throughout our financial system.
Others say that China will steal American jobs. This fear, too, is greatly exaggerated. More trade means more growth for all.
Nonetheless, China needs to be a more responsible partner. Allowing its currency to trade more freely -- and to appreciate -- in foreign-exchange markets would be good for the world economy and for the Chinese people.
China is an important market for us. Chinese consumers want our products. Chinese companies want to work with our companies. We can cooperate peacefully and fruitfully.

Play builds children's imaginations, which prepares them to one day create an alternative to fossil fuels or a banking system run entirely on stickers and hugs. Keep synapses silly with this Groupon.
$65 for a Safari Party Package for Up to 10 Kids ($130 Value)
The safari party package includes invitations, table decorations, a jungle balloon centerpiece, and thank-you notes. Each child gets one drink with refills, and a party host takes care of setup and cleanup, and ensures the event runs smoothly. Package is redeemable Monday—Friday only.
Jungle Java
Jungle Java was designed to create a space where parents could enjoy a good cup of coffee while watching their children play in a safe and soft environment where tykes traipse through a well-padded multilevel maze of forest huts and treehouses. Toddlers can take time away from the fray in a separate safari area equipped with soft tunnels, slides, and age-appropriate cryptograms. As children romp, parents plunk themselves in the soft folds of a leather couch or power through some work on the free WiFi network. Jungle Java's café carries a menu of coffee drinks, smoothies, and snacks that include all-beef hot dogs and turkey and avocado sandwiches on eight-grain bread.

Field Web Access Can Help Live Event Coverage
This weekend 436 people were arrested in Copenhagen when young activists tried to occupy a house. Modkraft.dk, which has always supported activists, launched two tools to help publish eyewitness reports to a wider audience. The first is a Google map on which small figures moved around to show the positions of eyewitnesses moved. The second tool is a simple list of text messages. The site reported from six to nine hours about police movements, various demonstrations, and sub-groups of activists that tried to penetrate police barriers.
Joe Wilson: "Chronic Liar" Robert Novak Is "Going Straight To Hell" (by Greg Sargent)
[F]ormer Ambassador Joe Wilson � angrily disputed Robert Novak's latest assertion about the outing of his CIA operative wife, adding that if the columnist isn't going to confession, "he's going straight to Hell." Wilson's angry over a story [Monday] in The Hill which quoted Novak saying that Wilson did not forcefully object when Novak spoke to him before publishing his now infamous column naming his wife, Valerie Plame� Novak claimed [that] Wilson was primarily focused on not being named in Novak's article solely as an opponent of the Iraq war. "He's lying," Wilson responded a few moments ago when I reached him on his cell phone.
Rabble Rouser
After a target of one of Michelle Malkin�s hate campaigns committed suicide you�d think Little Lulu would show a little restraint. But no; Malkin and others on the Right have formed a full-scale howling mob to attack the family of 12-year-old Graeme Frost. Righties have been calling the Frosts, harassing them with personal questions. Malkin personally drove by the Frosts� home so that she could describe it to her readers, and she went to a commercial property they own and interviewed one of the tenants. Why? Because Graeme appeared in a commercial in support of the S-CHIP program.

MSNBC: Eager to paint Hillary as a harpy
In an Iowa appearance over the weekend, Hillary Clinton fielded a question on her support for the Lieberman-Kyl Amendment�� The exchange has been described as testy or harsh, though it just sounds like she got annoyed and accused Rolph of being a plant.� Kudos to Rolph for asking a question the traditional media hasn�t and kudos to Hillary for not relying on pre-approved audiences and questions like our current president. But � MSNBC covered the same non-issue no less than 3 times in the course of an hour, with such charming descriptions as �shrill� and �fishwife-y�.

Is The Economy "Out Of The Woods?" (by Danny Schechter)
Can We Trust The New Jobs Report That Has Led To Rosy Forecasts?
Gallup: Republicans remain more skeptical of media
Republicans "remain deeply distrustful of the national news media — in sharp contrast to Democrats, who have a great deal more trust in the media's accuracy"� "Only about a third of Americans today say that the news media are 'just about right' when it comes to ideological balance," [Frank Newport] writes. "More than twice as many Americans say the news media are too liberal (45%) rather than too conservative (18%)."
Showing once again the success of the right wing�s 35-year assault on the media.� Too bad progressives don�t see the need to confront that propaganda in a comprehensive fashion.

There are 233 million people in America who have mobile phones, or 76 percent of the population� Consumer spending on mobile �infotainment,� [a] report says, is expected to double between 2007 and 2011 to $64 billion. And Nokia predicts the number of mobile phone users will top three billion worldwide by 2009.

The Hague pays for Nazi-looted artwork
The Hague has paid the heir of a Jewish art dealer for a painting that was looted by the Nazis.
Marei von Saher, the daughter-in-law and sole heir of Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, will receive $1.4 million from The Hague for her half of Jan Steen's "The Marriage of Tobias and Sarah," and will donate the work to the Bredius Museum in The Hague.
The painting was divided into two parts; Goudstikker had owned the left side of the painting and The Hague owned the right side. The two pieces were reunited by art restorers in 1996.
Goudstikker died while escaping Amsterdam on a cargo ship in 1940. He had left about 1,400 pieces of art in his gallery, which was looted by the Nazi leader Hermann Goering. The works were given to the Dutch government after the war.
Von Saher recovered 202 pieces of artwork from the Dutch national collection in 2006.

Avoiding Sources of Toxoplasmosis During Pregnancy
Toxoplasmosis is an infection by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Once you have had it, you cannot get it again. This is because your body has learned how to fight it off (immunity).
People usually become infected by eating food that contains the parasite (such as undercooked meat from an infected animal) or by handling an infected cat's feces or touching surfaces contaminated by them.
Many women have had toxoplasmosis (usually without any symptoms) before they become pregnant. If a woman becomes infected during pregnancy, her fetus may also get it. This can lead to eye and brain damage.
Avoiding contact with Toxoplasma gondii is key to preventing fetal infection during pregnancy. If you are not immune to Toxoplasma gondii or don't know whether you are immune, you can drastically reduce your risk of infection if you:
- Avoid cat feces, in both the home and the garden.
- If you have a cat, have someone else clean the cat litter box while you are pregnant and preferably 2 months prior to conceiving. If you must do so yourself, wear gloves and a face mask, and wash your hands afterward.
- When gardening or handling soil, wear gloves, and wash your hands afterward.
- Wash all foods that could have had contact with cat feces, including commercial fruits and vegetables.
- Make a habit of washing any table or counter surfaces that a cat may have walked across.
- Eat only well-cooked or previously frozen meat. Avoid dried meats and meat from wild game. Sustained high or low temperatures are necessary to kill Toxoplasma gondii in meat.
- Carefully wash your hands and all utensils after preparing raw meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, or vegetables.
If you have lab results that confirm your immunity to Toxoplasma gondii, you do not have to take special preventive measures during pregnancy. For more information, see Toxoplasmosis Test.

Hey Gang...
I'm writing a book in 3 weeks. That's right...3 weeks! I'm actually trying to polish it off in 2 weeks.
In reality, I'm simply gathering together a lot of things I speak about and blog about and putting them in a book. This is a strategy I teach at the Speak It Forward Boot Camp.
Anyway, I need help naming the book. The book is a "success" book for teenagers and will basically have 3 sections.
Two quick thoughts on this basic outline:
So, what I need help with, and quickly, is what to title the book. Here's what I'm thinking so far. The title is before the hash mark, subtitle is after the hash mark.
I have more...but these are my top 3 so far.
Thoughts, insights, and ideas welcome!
Views: 202
Thanks Anna.
I've hired an editor, but if you want to take a look as well, I'll send it your way. Let me know.
Also, really came up with some cool book cover ideas. I'm going to post a voting contest soon.
Congratulations! Awesome accomplishment and a testament that when we set our mind to get something done, we can and that God will bless our efforts.
BTW, I'm sure you mean 30,000 WORDs and not pages ; - D
Finished writing the book in 3 weeks on the nose (sent it to Andrea Reynolds -- a 48 Days member -- last night for editing).
It's right at 30,000 words. I actually wrote and proofed it once in 19 days (and most of that work was done in 12 days), then took two days to proof it a second time before sending it to Andrea.
Now onto the book cover, book layout, and printing. Target date to have it in my hands: Oct. 7.
What's super cool is that I decided to do this project on August 22 because of landing a speaking engagement to an audience of 4,000. That means from the moment I decided to do this project until the moment I should have the finished product in hand is only 54 days! Pretty awesome!!
One more side note...I have picked up 4 more speaking engagements to similar audiences in the past three weeks. It's as if once I decided to do this book, speaking engagements to audiences for this book just started pouring in. That's one of the magic combos of speaking and writing.

The reason infrastructure is such a mess is that we've repeatedly had the same kind of klutzy pork spending that kept Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus from stimulating much of anything.
It's hooey all over the map, mainly from President Barack Obama, but from Republicans, too, and the tipping point cometh if there's not some give someplace soon, starting with the White House. The politicos there have great compassion, at least for their chief, seemingly putting his re-election over national recovery.
Thus it was that Obama made it sound like Congress was loath to pass trade treaties with Colombia, Panama and South Korea that would add thousands of jobs and billions of dollars to the economy. Truth, anyone? While Congress was eager to get going, the president had been sitting on these treaties for almost three years, looking over his shoulder at some union friends who didn't like them one bit.
From their perspective, there was reason to gripe. While trade gives a lot, it also can take away. Almost inevitably, some people will be left at least temporarily jobless by major exporting, importing and investment initiatives.
But the only way to keep everything in place forever is to stagnate — no more new technology, no new trade, no growth, no net job gains, just limp-along status quo, if you're that lucky. For the economy, the treaties were going to mean an overall boon, and they probably still will. But the delay has had South Koreans fighting over ratification while Colombia has entered deals with China, meaning somewhat fewer opportunities may flow our way.
Nevertheless, Obama did climb out of bed one morning and sent the treaties to Congress for action. Now he is finally getting serious about our debt, isn't he? If we don't reduce it over the next 10 years — substantially, with spending cuts at the heart of it — the chances for a turnaround are somewhere between meager and zilch, and it will be his leadership that left us wanting.
He's got to know that, especially since he once shrugged his shoulders at his own debt commission's recommendations, putting forth a totally inane, irresponsible budget that even he quit defending prior to the Senate voting it down 97 to 0. Members of that commission were at it again before Congress the other day, saying that, at a minimum, we had to reduce deficits by $4 trillion and come up with some bold moves to accomplish that end.
Not the least of them was flattening the federal income tax and reducing the corporate tax. At the same time, we'd get rid of many deductions (aka loopholes) for both tax systems, a reform raising revenues to accompany a start on revamping Medicare and Social Security. It's a grand compromise that ought to bring everyone to the table, except that too many Democrats and Republicans are scooting their chairs backward.
Ultimately, either they care about America and are prepared to do something, or they ought to return to private affairs. The same goes for a president who seems to think repeating the word "infrastructure" over and over again will win him the mama-and-apple-pie vote. Maybe we should spend more on roads and bridges and maybe that will put more people to work, but the reason infrastructure is such a mess is that we've repeatedly had the same kind of klutzy pork spending that kept Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus from stimulating much of anything.
One conservative suggestion is yes, let's spend more, but let's take the money from some of the silly, pointless projects out there and let's make sure this money is directed wisely. Yes, let's do that — a good way to get the Republican votes you want, Mr. President. If that's too much to ask, could you at least abandon ethanol subsidies and mandates that contribute to high food prices while a record 45.8 million Americans are on food stamps? Or maybe get rid of that health-care program scaring businesses from expanding?
I guess not. Is that the tipping point I see?

I'm sure its been discussed before but I was just thinking about this. You're on C&R water you tongue hook a fish and its a bleeder. What chances do you think that fish has at survival? I hate it when it happens but it is part of fishing.
Re: Bleeders...
Yep, that's a tough ethical question. It has always been my experience that a bleeding fish is a dead fish. Lets face it, a few drops of blood from a smallish fish may represent 10% of its total supply....shock is a real possibility. So what do we do? Keep the fish, not waste it, and hope if you get checked the patrolman is understanding (yeah, right:rolleyes:). Or do we put it back, hope for the best, and call it the circle of life? Personally, keeping my experience with waterways patrolmen in mind, I put it back and hope for the best. It doesn't make me happy, but I am not going to pay a hefty fine (in some states the fine is quite hefty) for something that is out of my control.
Re: Bleeders...
I think that a fish with a serious gill injury is a goner, but you see other fish almost daily with traumas from both man and beast that have survived. It's all about the severity.
I try not to stress about it when it happens to me. Racoons need to eat too.
Re: Bleeders...
I also hate it, when the caught fish is bleeding and I feel soory for the creature and also a little bit angry with me. But I always release them and I have seen a pike, which was bleeding pretty much and I could observe that he recovered completely after while. This observation has given some hope to me for further, similar situations.
Re: Bleeders...
I faced the exact scenario described in the opening post last week-end. I was on a delayed harvest river and hooked a beautiful rainbow (~15in). I could not see the fly until it opened it's mouth since it was hooked quite deep. I tried to remove the fly but could not reach it w/o inflicting further damage. I tie my flies with barbless hooks so not sure why the hook was so deeply engorged. All the while the poor trout was bleeding..
Made me sick to my stomach but there was nothing I could do except revive it the best I could and watch it slowly swim off.
Re: Bleeders...
It depends on where and how bad. On Trout it is not a good thing. They are not as tough as some other fish. They did a radio tag study on Musky and hooked one really badly. They had to cut a part of the gill plate, cut hooks and it was a serious bleeder. They tagged it anyway and decided they could just use it to see how long it took to croak from an injury that bad. It didn't croak. It was recaptured two years later and was bigger. The gill plate was healed but scarred. If it has a chance of making it I let them go. Once you kill them they are a goner. If it's a big fish I give them the chance to make it. If it's not a big one I keep bad bleeders. I made it to the top of the food chain and I can eat a fish once in a while.
Re: Bleeders...
This fish was a bleeder when I caught him in July 2010.
He was not a bleeder when I caught him in September 2011.
Re: Bleeders...
yep, i'll agree.....turn em back. if they survive, awesome!:D
if they don't.....food chain.
just don't break the law...$$$$$$:eek::eek:
Re: Bleeders...
Re: Bleeders...
Field and Stream recently had an article published about bleeding fish and releasing them. I forget the exact percentages off hand but the basic idea was if the hook cant be removed easily, cut the line and release the fish. most of the time the hook would be pushed out of the mouth and discarded within 6 days and the fish survived. Playing doctor on the fish and getting the hook out that resulted in more/severe bleeding the fish almost all ended up dying. So basically if they bleed alittle but the hook came out cleanly, let em go, it will heal up and they will be fine.

Sebastian Vettel took pole position for Sunday's Indian Grand Prix in qualifying Saturday, helping the German in his hunt for a third consecutive title.
In a sign of the Red Bull team's superior pace, Vettel starts alongside teammate Mark Webber on the front row after the Australian set a time 0.034 shy of Vettel's fastest lap of 1 minute 25.283 seconds.
Vettel won last year's race at the Buddh International Circuit and topped in all three practice sessions held Friday and Saturday.
Vettel's closest challenger Fernando Alonso qualified fifth but will take fourth place on the grid.
The McLaren duo of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button qualified third and fourth, with Hamilton 0.261 seconds adrift of Vettel's time.
Hamilton will start Sunday's race sixth because of a three-place grid penalty handed out to him and Sauber's Sergio Perez for failing to heed warning flags in practice Friday.
Alonso in fifth is joined by teammate Felipe Massa, who earlier struggled to reach the top-ten shootout after lackluster laps put him at risk of elimination in the second session.
Seventh goes to Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus, who is a distant third in the championship standings, while Perez qualified eighth for Sauber but will start 11th.
Williams' Pastor Maldonado qualified ninth, with Nico Rosberg 10th for Mercedes.
After an uneventful first qualifying session, the second stint saw two big names fall as seven-time champion Michael Schumacher and Lotus driver Romain Grosjean missed the top-ten shootout.
For Grosjean, it was only the second time in 16 events this season that the Frenchman has qualified outside the top ten.
Further back, Russia's Vitaly Petrov took 19th and outqualified teammate Heikki Kovalainen for the sixth time this season, and the third time in the last four races.

06 Jun Life, Magnified
Q. What do you get when you put 25 engineers and a powerful microscope in the same room?
A. 25 engineers and a pile of parts formerly known as a powerful microscope. But in Key Tech's rare case, you get a catalogue of bewildering images and a new weekly blog challenge too!
The Rules
At the start of every week we will post an image of some object – as viewed under our microscope. Then it's your turn to focus your Micro-MacGyver eyes, work your mental floss, and puff that Sherlock Holmes pipe you impulse-purchased at a garage sale. Additionally, we will post the image's magnification (and occasionally any hints that are necessary).
Post your guesses in the comments section below the image, because when you say, "I knew that's what it was", you'll have to back it up! The identity of the item will be revealed in the comments on Friday and the winner will be celebrated by all. The first correct answer posted in the comments is the winner. Winner?! Yeah, we'll send you some kind of Key Tech swag to commemorate the win.
To give others a chance, current Key Tech employees/family/pets are not eligible to win for comments posted prior to that week's Thursday, 8am ET. So, you can still win, but everyone else gets a head start. Otherwise eligible folks that are prior winners have to wait a week to win again. You can still show off by posting guesses in the comments. These rules may change if things start to get wonky.
To provide some semblance of order, the objects we choose will fall into any of three categories:
- Household – this is an up-close image of something typically found in someone's home. For example toothbrushes, an LCD screen, coffee filters, etc.
- Workshop – this is an up-close image of something typically found loose in the workshop of a "tinkerer". For example, a threaded insert, linear bearing, soldering iron, etc.
- Key Tech – this is an up-close image of something typically found in the inner workings of a product, not commonly seen by the consumer, or something specifically unique to Key Tech. For example, a microfluidic channel or a custom connector on an embedded circuit board.
This week's contest
Our world is a fascinating place. And our microscopic world is an absolute Tim Burton creation! So grab your first morning cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and start your week off right with these curious visual brain teasers. Now, wasting no time, the first image is below. Good luck.

GameCryer: The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide Reviewed
My review of The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide for the Star Wars: Saga Edition RPG is up on GameCryer.com. This book covers the "Dark Times" or "Rise of the Empire" era that runs from the execution of Order 66 and the establishment of the Galactic Empire up through the Rebellion era.
Game Day: Random Stellar Encounters II
Another week, another game of Star Wars. The adventure rolls on with a special flashback episode. Last week, our band of heroes learned of 32 Belasco Division E-company (aka the Early Birds), an Old Republic Army advance assault unit that went missing on Toprawa during the Great Sith War. This week, we'll be playing soldiers in the Early Birds, allowing us to learn first hand what happened to the division.
Game Day: Random Stellar Encounters
We played our first Star Wars game since December on Friday. Prepping the session had me digging through my various web resources looking for inspiration (and new entries for the campaign blog). They're a useful collection of tools for anyone running a Star Wars/scifi game, so I thought I'd share them.

Game Day: Enter the Sith
After five sessions of fighting pirates and swoop bike gangers, the heroes of my Knights of the Old Republic campaign went up against their first Sith: Kaldros Ygin, an arrogant self-assured student of the Dark Lady Aldera. I've been dropping hints over the last few weeks that Ral Duris, leader of the pirates of Zebulon Prime, had a Sith advisor. Ygin was the first evidence that she might not be the only Darksider on the Prime.

D&D 4E to Star Wars Creature Conversions
One area where Star Wars: Saga Edition could use some help are its creatures. There are certainly a number of them out there, particularly the iconic ones from the movies, but the system tends to come up a little short with more mundane critters.
Game Day: Bloggers of the Old Republic
[img_assist|nid=2750|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=300|height=163]Three weeks into our new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic campaign it became obvious: we needed a blog. Or at least, I needed a blog.
Even without leaving the Vargis Tau star system and its binary world of Zebulon we'd still managed to accumulate a dozen-odd NPCs, three or four ships, three adventure write-ups, a handful of locations. While I had references to all this stuff on my computer, it was in the form of adventure notes, and not readily browseable.
Importing 4E Skill Challenges into Star Wars: Saga Edition
Skill challenges were one of the best things to come out of our D&D 4th Edition playtest. Building on earlier versions that appeared in Spycraft and Unearthed Arcana, skill challenges provided an in-game mechanic for resolving non-combat conflicts and complex tasks.

STOCKHOLM (Aug. 27)
Reliable information reaching here today from Budapest reveals that Hungarian authorities, cooperating with the Gestapo, resumed the mass-deportations of Jews from Hungary immediately after it became known that Rumania joined the Allies and turned against Germany and Hungary.
Cattle trains loaded with Jews were again leaving Hungary to "unknown destinations" during the last few days, despite the promise given by Regent Horthy of Hungary to King Gustaf of Sweden that Jews would no longer be deported from the country, a report received here says. Various sections of the Hungarian administration are now working against each other, but the Gestapo exerts the determining influence, the report added.
The Swedish Government, perturbed by this report, indicated today that it intends to send a special delegate to Budapest in an effort to halt the renewed deportations of Jews. Prominent Hungarian Jews reaching Stockholm, however, entertain doubts as to whether the efforts of the Swedish Government will have any success.
(The Hungarian Information Office in New York today released a cable from its London representative confirming the report that the deportation of Jews from Hungary has been resumed. "It is not true that those deportations are being carried out only by the Germans," the cable said. "The Hungarian authorities and the gendarmes are arresting Jews in Budapest for deportation.")

Anybody ever try the stuff? I've got a plethora of shotgun loads for when I wring out my new gun, trying to find what it likes. These were at last night's gun show for $8.95 for a box of 10. Not bad, so I grabbed a couple boxes. Says Law Enforcement Buckshot, 2 3/4" 1325 fps. Just wondering if anybody's yet tried it.

I would like to remove the hanging skin right above my belly button. My stomach is pretty flat since I exercise constantly. I'm wondering if my belly button can be enhance without having to have a full tummy tuck. Thanks for your feedback.
Is Umbilicoplasty Right for Me? (photo)
Doctor Answers 12
Abdominoplasty is the answer
You are looking for an umbilicus (belly button) that is attractive and has minimal to no scarring, and little to no hooding. An umbilicoplasty will not accomplish this. You have too much excess skin. Also, it appears you have abdominal wall laxity, and therefore you would do well with an internal muscle repair.
Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with experience in the Mommy Makeover, and he or she will be able to tell you whether a full tummy tuck or just an umbilical slide would be needed. This usually is determined by pinching the skin while the knees are bent.
The way to keep the scar around the umbilicus minimal is to anchor the inside of the belly button to the abdominal wall with 4 sutures, then to defat around the new skin that will come down to the old belly button, and finally keep all the stitches below the surface (i.e. subcutaneous). Good belly button surgery is an integral part of any well done tummy tuck.
Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for your question and photo.
From the photo, it looks like you do have abdominal wall laxity and if you would like to improve that, a tummy tuck with muscle repair may be what you need - that can also address the excess skin around the belly button as well. The best thing to do is to have a physical examination by a board certified plastic surgeon to get the best advice.
Best Wishes!

Umbilicoplasty or tummy tuck
Hi there
This is a really common problem, and a difficult one for the surgeon and you. The patient with a pretty good but not perfect abdominal wall recovery post pregnancy, is often left with some minor areas of concern without feeling that improvement should include or need a full tummy tuck with the long low scar inherent in that procedure, or a divarication repair which might not be needed.
My own experience is as follows:
1. Umbilicoplasty is rarely the answer for loose skin ABOVE the umbilicus. It's useful if there is a misshapen umbilicus or an umbilical hernia.
2. If there is a little loose skin only and no loose skin below the umbilicus the best option is usually to offer an umbilical "float" procedure. Through a short suprapubic incison - ie 7 cm or so - the abdominal wall can be elevated, and the umbilicus disconnected from the abdominal wall and moved down around 2 - 3 cm, and resecured to the abdominal wall. If the umbilicus is moved too low it looks odd but it will tolerate being moved down a little.
3. If there is loose skin below the umbilicus, a longer but still short low transverse incision can allow a little lowering of the umbilicus and some excision of lower abdominal skin. This is a quick recovery day procedure, as is 2.
4. If there is too much loose skin for this to look good you need to have a full abdominoplasty or TT, with or without a divarication repair.
I suggest a consultation with a good plastic surgeon in your area is a good place to start.
Good luck.
You might also like...
If you feel you need the contour of your abdomen changed with flattening, then you will need some form of abdominoplasty to tighten the muscles. This can be done with a fairly short suprapubic scar and very little skin looks like it needs to be removed. That wont have any real effect on the belly button. If all you want changed is the loose skin above the belly button, a small crescent of skin above it can be removed and the scar worked into the upper edge of the belly button. A limited muscle tightening can then be done through that scar if you prefer. That way there would be no suprapubic scar. This is a very uncommon approach to the problem so make sure your surgeon has some experience with it and feels confident he can meet your goals.
Tummy tuck for belly button improvement
I agree that you have minimal skin laxity, but you appear to have abominal wall laxity and peri-umbilical skin laxity - your best bet is a short scar tummy tuck that tightens your abdominal wall from top to bottom. Your belly button skin excess can be removed, but you'll likely have a short vertical scar between your BB and pubic bone. See a good local plastic surgeon for an opinion.
Belly button surgery
The minor hooding of your umbilicus could be improved but there would be a scar. Only a minimum amount of skin could be removed with this procedure to keep the scar short.
Loose skin after pregnancy
I know this is not what you want to hear, but a tummy tuck of some fashion is going to be your best bet for a good and longlasting result. It is the only procedure that will adequately address the laxity and skin problem.

Umbilicoplasty Unlikely to Improve Your Appearance
Hi there-
Based on the photo you posted, I think your chances of being happy after an umbilicoplasty are low...
Your abdominal shape suggests you need a bit more to achieve an attractive appearance-
I recommend you visit a surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery for an exam and opinion.

Judging by your picture I would suspect an umbilical hernia. Check to see if you have any pain or a weak area in the fascia. An umbilical plastic can be done the problem is the surrounding scar. Depending on how much you one tighten the abdominal skin determines how much scar would need to be made.
I've had patients who have tattooed the paramedical scar and gotten a very nice result. Check and make sure you don't have a hernia because if there is a hernia there been repairing hernias will improve the appearance of your umbilicus.

Industrial restructuring in transitional Baltic Sea Region countries (Baltic States, Kaliningrad oblast)
This paper analyses recent trends in industrial development in the Baltic Sea transition countries. The heavy industry collapsed during the first half of 1990s in most former socialist countries. However, since the second half of 1990s the industrial output, export, productivity and even employment (in some branches) has been increased remarkably. And instead of a de-industrialisation, which has been general trend in Western Europe since 1970s, we may speak about a re-industrialisation. Foreign investors have played major role in the restructuring and efficiency growth of manufacturing in transitional economies. The rising importance of foreign investors and the growing export and re-export to other BSR countries are showing, that the industries in transitional countries are becoming more and more integrated to developed BSR countries. Still, especially textiles and electronics that are concentrated on relatively low-skilled subcontracting are characterised by a sharp rise in re-exports. Hypothetically, when considering the price convergence in the case BSR transition countries joining the European Union, those low value added booming industries can run into crisis soon and relocate the production to further cheaper regions in Russia or South-East Asia. The empirical part analyses recent industrial development trends (employment structure, exports, investments) in three Baltic countries and Kaliningrad oblast. Finally, I try to compare the industrial restructuring within particular clusters in Estonia and Kaliningrad oblast using statistics and interviews. Key words: regional integration, transitional economies, industrial development

Dexter is an American television drama series based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay and adapted for television by James Manos, Jr., which centres on Dexter Morgan, a blood pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department by day and a serial killer who lives by a "code" - killing only heinous criminals who have slipped through the justice system - by night.
Orphaned at the age of four and harbouring a traumatic secret, Dexter was adopted by a police officer who recognized Dexter's homicidal tendencies and guided his son to channel his gruesome passion for human vivisection in a constructive way - by killing perpetrators that are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice.
A respected member of the police force, a perfect gentleman and a man with a soft spot for children, Dexter's world reveals an unusual exploration into the mind of a sociopathic killer.
With an unflinching drive to kill, Dexter struggles to emulate normal emotions he doesn't feel so that he can keep up his appearance as a caring, socially responsible human being.
Produced by Showtime, Dexter is executive produced by John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton, Scott Buck, Manny Coto, Tim Schlattmann, Wendy West, Jace Richdale and Michael C. Hall.

POLICE will be celebrating this weekend's Swindon and Wiltshire Pride Festival by flying a rainbow flag at their Gablecross station.
A similar flag will also be hoisted at the Wiltshire police headquarters in Devizes.
The equality and diversity event takes place for the sixth time in Swindon at the Town Gardens on Saturday. The police first got involved at last year's parade.
PCSOs Lee Hare and Kate Jackson-Collier, Unison's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender officers, were the sole representatives last year, but their hard work has blazed a new trail .
Lee, 33, said: "It's a community event and family day with an important message and we want to make ourselves part of that.
"I have done a lot of work to get as many people as possible to attend. There has been a lot of support from senior management, including the Chief Constable. He's funded the two flags that are going up."
The flags are being produced by a printer in the town and will contain the colours of the rainbow as well as the Wiltshire Police emblem.
Lee had to submit a full business plan as well as reasons why the flags should be flown.
The flags will go up at each site on Friday and remain there until Monday morning.
The move is unprecedented for the force, though others around the country have shown their support for Pride in the past.
Lee, who is gay , said the amount of involvement shown by the force this year, including 16 representatives in the parade, has made him very proud.
"It's been done by a couple of other forces, like Hatfield and South Wales Police at their headquarters," he said.
"I am massively proud. Homosexuality wasn't decriminalised until 1967, so there are people still around who see the police as a threat.
"Our presence at Pride is about demolishing those barriers."
Chief Constable Pat Geenty said: "I am happy to support this year's Pride celebrations.
"It is important to raise our communities' awareness of the diversity in the county and events like Pride bring people together as one.
"I want LGBT members of the community to feel confident enough to report crime and that they will receive a good service from their police."
The Pride parade starts at the Town Gardens in Quarry Road at 11.15am, and Pride will run until 10.25pm.

Since the very moment Farah Khan decided to make 'Happy New Year', which was also her long cherished dream, the movie since then has always managed to stay in the news for different reasons. To start off with, the movie boasts of a start studded cast like Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and others.
And we have heard now that Farah Khan's brother Sajid Khan is all set to do a short cameo in the movie. The most exciting part according to Farah Khan is that, Sajid's part will be that of himself. Which means that he will be playing 'role' of Sajid Khan – the director in the movie.
Happy New Year is expected to have a grand Diwali release around next year.

Ben Harris filed an obit about Gary Tobin yesterday afternoon:
NEW YORK (JTA) — There are probably few students of American Jewry as comfortable arguing for more aggressive efforts to grow Jewish numbers through conversion as they are assailing the hostility towards Israel of reflexively liberal academics.
But Gary Tobin, who died late Monday at 59 after a long illness, was just that sort of thinker.
Trained as a city and regional planner at the University of California, Berkeley, Tobin first turned his attention to Jewish communal issues while a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. He moved to Brandeis University, where he became a tenured professor and director of the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies before departing to start his own think tank, the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, in San Francisco.
"Gary was a visionary about the Jewish community," said Leonard Saxe, a professor at Brandeis University who succeeded Tobin as director of the Cohen Center. "He identified problems and issues in the community and often developed these really creative analyses, whether it was about the role of synagogues or the makeup of communities and more recently about philanthropy."
Lacking a background in sociology, Tobin often came at problems from a different perspective than many of the researchers who dominate the study of American Jewry.
While most communal professionals were bemoaning the loss of Jews to intermarriage and assimilation, Tobin assailed the community for its insularity and hostility toward converts and the gentile spouses of Jews. While Jewish organizations were complaining that wealthy Jews were directing their philanthropy to non-Jewish causes, Tobin told them to quit kvetching and give them a good reason not to.
Read the rest here.
Lynn Schusterman and the head of her foundation, Sandy Cardin, had this to add:
Lynn Schusterman, Chair, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation: Gary will be sorely missed. I will always remember and appreciate him for his friendship and for the good advice he gave Charlie and me when we initially decided to become involved in Jewish philanthropy in a serious way. Gary always treated us with dignity and respect, and the many contributions he made to the Jewish community he loved so dearly will be his legacy.
Sandy Cardin, President, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation: From my earliest days as a foundation professional right up until his death, Gary was someone I respected and admired for his intellect, insight and vision. He was one of the true pioneers in the fields of Jewish demographic and sociological research, and his large and rich body of work speaks for itself. Gary was a valued colleague who forced all of us to think more deeply about the challenges — and opportunities — that exist in contemporary Jewish life and especially on college campuses.
As for me, Gary was the guy who was most helpful to me when I started on this philanthropy beat. I can't say that I knew him well in his personal life, but in my first couple of years at JTA I spent hours and hours on the phone with him picking his brain.
I can't say that I agreed with him all of the time and sometimes felt that he was too harsh a critic of the Jewish establishment, but he always made me think and made me question what I was seeing on the surface of this Jewish philanthropic and organizational landscape. And in the end I usually ended up seeing his side of things. He never let anyone off the hook, and I wish that there were more Jewish sociologists like him.
But for me, this piece that TObin wrote for JTA in the days before the UJC's General Assembly in 2007 was Gary Tobin – and it really pissed off the UJC:
North American federations could and should be doing much better than they are. They matter. They are important. They embody the ideas of community, common cause and the ability to respond to collective concerns. They are vital institutions and we want them to succeed.
Federations have been the hub of a vast system that involves community centers, family services, bureaus of Jewish education and so many more organizations. But this system is becoming unglued and changes need to be made.
This call for action comes from someone who has worked for three decades with more than 70 federations, including New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Baltimore. I have worked as a consultant with the Council of Jewish Federations, the United Jewish Appeal, and scores of constituent and beneficiary agencies. I believe that federations are essential. I don't have all the right answers. But I think I have some of the right questions.
Telling the truth about endowments.
Endowments are a big federation success story, but trouble is bubbling both on and below the surface. Many federations proudly promote the size of their endowments, noting how much money is under federation management. Is it real? Touting an amazing growth of funds under the federation roof paints a not-quite-honest picture.
During the week of shiva for Gary Tobin, the Berman Jewish Policy Archive at New York University will be feature Tobin's work on its homepage.
Just one request, Gary… If you run into the Annenbergs up there, could you ask them to steer their foundation trustees toward more Jewish causes?

Writer Mark Evanier reports the passing of artist Jesse Santos on April 27, 2013, at the age of 83. Born on June 24, 1928, in the Philippines, Santos's artistic career began at a young age, painting a mural placed in front of his town's church at the age of 10 and beginning work as a professional artist by age 14 or 15. He worked as a "sidewalk artist" during World War II, where he drew portraits of Japanese and American soldiers, with the work ultimately drawing the attention of Filipino comics artist Tony Velasquez, which ultimately led to a 20-year career drawing Filipino comics. Santos and writer Damy Velasquez created the comic strip DI 13, becoming a hit in the country and launching several spinoffs.
His initial attempts to do comics work in the United States after emigrating in 1969 failed, forcing a return to working as a sidewalk artist where he was again noticed by comics professionals — this time, by Chase Craig and Del Connell, editors for Gold Key Comics. His best known comics work in this phase of his career includes Dagar the Invincible and The Occult Files of Dr. Spektor. He also worked in animation, with his work most visible in 1992's The Legend of Prince Valiant, as well as in The Bionic Six, Jem, Blackstar, Dino-Riders, The Dukes, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, and Adventures from the Book of Virtues.

The first billboard of National's election campaign has been unveiled in Auckland by party leader John Key.
The bright blue advert says "Wave goodbye to higher taxes, not your loved ones" in bold letters, with "choose a brighter future, party vote National" below it.
The same billboard is going up in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga.
Mr Key said the campaign was to highlight that National promised to build on Labour's tax cuts and deliver another round in April 2009 and April 2010.
"The billboard also highlights Labour's failure to stem the tide of people voting with their feet and leaving New Zealand," Mr Key said.
The opening shots of the election campaign are being fired even though the election date has not yet been announced.
This Parliament will expire on October 6 and an election must be held by November 15.
Dissolving Parliament before that time and setting the election date is entirely the choice of Prime Minister Helen Clark.
Most people are picking November 8 as the most likely election date, though some in National are still convinced it will be held as early as October 18.

We still La, La, La, Love the 'Valley Girl' soundtrack and Pat Travers
Another day in Stuck in the '80s means another day with the Valley Girl soundtrack.
In the latest podcast, Steve and Brad waxed on about what bands they wished to see live on the 1983 Valley Girl soundtrack, however one artist that they snubbed was Pat Travers and the song I La, La, La Love You.
While this 1982 song may remind you of Nic Cage cruising down the Sunset Strip, Pat's video may remind you of why restraining orders are needed. While a fine rocking song, the video portrays a typical morning in the Travers' abode with the beautiful girlfriend, odd morning calisthenics and some basic lack of respect for one's personal space while getting ready for work. While things look bleak for Pat, once again, a guitar solo saves the day and all is worked out in the 3:30 world of music videos.
Travers is best known for his classic rock classics Boom, Boom (Out Go the Lights) and Snorting Whiskey and continues to perform.

At the Intel developer forum this past spring, Intel
announced that the company would include 1GB of flash memory integrated into
its upcoming mobile chipsets. The technology, dubbed Robson, is part of
the Santa Rosa Centrino platform, expected to launch in the second
quarter of 2007.
This inclusion of 1GB of NAND memory is actually the first phase of
Robson. Soon after launch, vendors will also have the option to include
512MB instead of 1GB modules, as a cost-down alternative. Both the 1GB and
512MB modules are integrated into the Crestline chipset that makes up
the core of the Santa Rosa platform.
Windows Vista is heavily reliant on the ability to use flash memory to cache files with
Superfetch. Rather than reading files off the hard drive, Superfetch
occasionally writes the files to an available NAND device. Vista will
then pool the NAND device for the files, rather than power-up the hard
drive. Since the flash memory is integrated right onto the motherboard,
the system can read the memory considerably faster than the hard drive while
getting a nice power-saving benefit as well.
Intel is also planning a desktop version of Robson, currently dubbed Snowgrass.
NAND and hybrid technology are currently slated as a
requirement for Windows Vista Premium logo certification in 2007. This NAND requirement can be fullfilled by hybrid solid state storage drives, but technologies like Robson will also fullfill the requirement.

Telefónica, one of the world's leading telecommunications providers, has more than 130,000 employees and operates in 25 countries. As of December 2012, Telefónica's total number of customers amounted to 315.7 million. Phil Jordan, group CIO at Telefónica, is leading a global IT transformation to drive better business results and gain a competitive edge.
As with many telcos, the company is looking to enhance their digital capabilities as the industry races to provide new services to a global customer base. According to Kurt DelBene, president of Microsoft's Office Division, "Telefónica is a great example of a forward-thinking organization that understands how the cloud can power its business." The company announced today that they are deploying Office 365 and Yammer to employees worldwide.
Telefónica was looking for a way reduce IT costs and increase agility, enabling employees to focus on development of new products and services instead of IT administration and maintenance. By moving to the cloud with Office 365 and Yammer, Telefónica is providing employees with a much faster, intuitive collaboration experience.
In addition, employees can instantly translate conversations into their native language using Yammer's Translator functionality. Adrian Steel, European production hub lead and global director at Telefónica, calls this functionality "a massive benefit." Steel says that "by automatically converting conversations to a person's native language, Yammer will help our people work more efficiently than ever and focus on delivering superior value to our customers."
For more information about Office 365 and Yammer, visit the Office 365 blog.
