Evaluation of Aortic Stenosis Severity by Echocardiography
From Ask Dr Wiki
The clinical standard for diagnosis of Aortic Stenosis
- Etiology
- usually due to calcification of the leaflets
- Bicuspid AoV (BAV) higher frequency; earlier onset
- Level of Obstruction
- Leaflet motion
- Root anatomy
- Dimensions
- Ascending aorta
- Complications of AS
- LV dysfunction
- dilatation
Aortic Velocity
- most reproducible measure of severity
- strongest predictor of clinical outcome
- Classification:
- mild: 2.6-3.0 m/s
- moderate: 3.1-4.0m/s
- severe: >4.0 m/s
Leaflet calcification and velocity <2.5m/s is called 'aortic 'sclerosis
Maximum Transaortic Pressure Gradient
The Peak Aortic gradient is estimated with the Simplified Bernoulli equation:
- delta P = 4v2
The Mean Aortic Gradient is estimated by tracing the CW curve to avg the instantaneous gradients
Peak Mild: <25mmHg Moderate: 25-60 mm Hg Severe: >60 mm Hg Mean Mild: <20mmHg Moderate: 20-50 mm Hg Severe: >50 mm Hg
Aortic Valve Area (AVA)
The Aortic Valve Area is Estimated with the Continuity Equation:
Principle: volume flow proximal to orifice equals volume flow that is distal to it
- AVA x VTIAV = CSALVOT x VTILVOT
- AVA = (CSALVOT x VTILVOT) / VTIAV
Mild: 1.5-2.0cm2 Moderate: 1.0-1.5 Severe: <1.0
Dimensionless Index
Relative valve size based on the area of the patient's outflow tract
Especially Useful in setting of Prosthetic Valve stenosis Due to shadowing and reverberation of mechanical valve.
- Velocity Ratio = VLVOT/VAS
Normal ratio = 1; 0.25 = 25% of normal
Direct visualization of the valve orifice. Can be limited due to calcification, shadowing, reverberation
Effective orifice area not = Anatomical orifice area
- Contraction of the flow stream as it passes through orifice
- Especially with 2D valve shape is flat (i.e. calcification)
Time to Peak Velocity
The longer it takes to reach peak velocity, the more severe the stenosis
Common Mistakes
- Confusing Mitral Regurgitation with Aortic Stenosis
- Underestimation of gradient
- Misalignment of Doppler
- Poor visualization of valve or "envelope"
- Confusing LVOT obstruction with AS

Samsung Expands Industry Leadership in Europe with New Curved and Ultra High-definition TV Collection and Home Entertainment Line-up
Jan 27, 2014
-More immersive entertainment experience with new curved designs, UHD and enhanced Samsung Smart TV experiences
-New audio products for easy-to-enjoy home entertainment
Samsung Electronics today unveiled an impressively large collection of new TV and home entertainment products at its 2014 Samsung European Forum in Malaga, Spain. Samsung showcased the world's first and largest Curved UHD TV and announced a full line-up of curved and UHD TVs.
Additionally, Samsung displayed an expanded line of audio products. The full portfolio is designed to elevate the entertainment experience throughout the home and reinforces Samsung's ability to set the industry pace for innovation, design and content.
"We're excited to bring Samsung's ultimate immersive experience with our new lineup of UHD TVs to UK consumers," said Guy Kinnell, Head of TV and AV at Samsung Electronic UK & Ireland. "These new TVs, together with our innovative new audio products, truly take the home entertainment experience to the next level."
Ahead of the Curve in Creating the Ultimate Immersive Experience
Ushering in a bold new era of riveting realism and mesmerising immersion, Samsung is blending its innovative Curved form factor with its UHD TV technology. The curved screen gives videos a presence not felt on flat screens, plus a wider field of view creates a panoramic effect that makes the display seem even bigger than it is and draws viewers in like no TV has ever done before.
The curved design creates a balanced and uniformed viewing distance for a more true-to-life viewing experience with improved viewing angles and higher contrast from different viewing positions, so everyone watching has the best seat in the house.
To maximise the advantages of Curved TV, Samsung developed the optimal curvature of 4200R, which provides the best picture quality from a normal watching distance of 3 metres to 4 metres. The combination of the curve and UHD technology creates the ultimate immersive viewing experience, bringing images to life and enveloping viewers in spectacular colour, clarity and detail. This is augmented by Samsung's proprietary Auto Depth Enhancer, an algorithm that analyses regions of images and automatically adjusts contrast for a greater sense of depth on the company's new Curved TVs and it gives a 3D effect without glasses.
Colour is further enhanced on these sets with Samsung's PurColour™ technology in the U8500 Curved UHD TVs, which reproduces colour as film-makers envisioned, expressing more detailed shades. The number of colour adjustment points has been increased by a factor of seven for even more detail and colour expression.
In Europe, Samsung is introducing Curved UHD TVs available in 105-inches, 78-inches, 65-inches and 55-inches.
Better and Broader Samsung UHD TV Lineup and Ecosystem for Ultimate Picture Today and Tomorrow
UHD sources look spectacular in crisp UHD resolution on Samsung UHD TVs. Thanks to UHD Upscaling featured on all Samsung UHD TVs, viewers are treated to the best possible picture regardless of source material. The proprietary technology converts Full HD, HD and lower resolution sources to nearly-UHD picture quality. UHD Dimming technology also helps to further optimise picture quality by processing each block of a picture and delivering deeper blacks and improved contrast.
As the category leader, Samsung is making significant investments and establishing critical partnerships to invigorate the market and expedite the delivery of a UHD ecosystem to consumers.
This spring, Samsung will release a UHD Video Pack that will come pre-loaded with UHD-quality content, including feature films from FOX and Paramount Pictures on a one Terrabyte hard disk.
At the same time, Samsung supports all of the latest UHD TV standards—including HEVC, HDMI 2.0, MHL 3.0 and HDCP 2.2—in an effort to build a holistic UHD ecosystem with premier content partners. Samsung UHD TVs are also the only TVs on the market that are future-ready due to the Samsung UHD Evolution Kit. In fact, in the industry, only Samsung UHD TVs are PrimePass certified, which means consumers can be confident about enjoying the new detail and picture quality of this next-generation TV technology.
Through its three UHD TV series – S9, U8550 and U7500 – in 2014 Samsung will offer a full line-up of UHD TV models in sizes from 48-inches up to a tremendous 110-inches, and both curved and flat form factors, so consumers can choose the UHD TV that best fits their lifestyle.
Smart Experience: Now Smarter, Easier and Faster than Ever
Samsung's Smart TV is even easier, faster and more fun to use now. The new Multi-Link feature brings contextual multitasking to the big screen, enabling people to go deeper into their entertainment by splitting the screen to bring up related content to enhance the viewing experience. While enjoying Live TV, consumers can populate a right-hand screen with contextual search results on the Web browser, relevant YouTube video content and more for side-by-side enjoyment of related entertainment and information streams.
And Samsung's support for multitasking does not stop there. The new Twin Tuner feature allows people to enjoy two different live TV programmes simultaneously. Even recording scenarios are expanded, as they can now record two channels while watching one, or watch two things at the same time.
The 2014 Samsung Smart Hub is more intuitive and even more enjoyable. With the new design, content is organised to be more easily accessible, giving people more control of their entertainment experience. The new Football Mode provides advanced features specifically for a more enjoyable football-watching experience. Optimised picture and sound quality for football as well as new functionalities such as zoom-in and auto and manual highlight bring viewers even closer to the action and PVR replay can play and record live matches simultaneously. Plus, it will automatically select the best scenes of the match for instant replay or match catch up.
The new Games Panel allows customers to experience big-screen exhilaration without entertainment system clutter. There will be a variety of popular family, sports, action and racing games from leading partners. A new Multimedia panel combines the previous Photo / Video / Music and Social panels into space to enjoy personal content and connections.
The new Smart TV experience is also lightning fast thanks to the upgraded processor, Quad Core Plus, which is up to two times faster than Quad Core processor and delivers quicker loading and navigation with an overall improved Smart TV performance. Turning on the TV has never been faster with Instant On. The TV will turn on soon after pressing the power button so that users can get to their entertainment faster.
Samsung's New Audio Products Keep Life and Design in Tune
Samsung's new audio line reflects the growing demand for solutions that offer consumers the ability to manage multiple audio sources. The new line includes the Samsung Wireless Multiroom system, which enables music lovers to enjoy tether-free entertainment in any room of the house, from various music sources. The flexible speakers can be used alone or in combination with the Wireless Multiroom Hub and additional M7 / M5 speakers to create a multi-room, multi-channel surround sound system.
With the rollout of the new Multiroom Link, even legacy audio components such as turntables and audio receivers can be wirelessly connected to the ever-growing Shape system. And Samsung is adding Wireless Audio-Multiroom compatibility to several of its 2014 sound plates and home theatre systems expanding the audio options even further throughout the entire home.
Samsung is also launching a Sound Plate that makes it easy and convenient for consumers to set up a wireless connection with the TV. The HW-H600 Sound Plate is designed to be used under TVs ranging in size from 32-inches to 55-inches. Its Multi-direction technology provides rich 4.2-channel sound in a sleek, low-profile (1.4") design. It's the perfect accompaniment to a bedroom TV or a main TV in a smaller space where a complex sound system will not fit.

Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation
Part I
May 8, 2008
"Theres something happening here
What it is aint exactly clear"
Join me now, if you have the time, as we take a stroll down memory lane to a time nearly four-and-a-half decades ago a time when America last had uniformed ground troops fighting a sustained and bloody battle to impose, uhmm, democracy on a sovereign nation.
It is the first week of August, 1964, and U.S. warships under the command of U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison have allegedly come under attack while patrolling Vietnams Tonkin Gulf. This event, subsequently dubbed the Tonkin Gulf Incident, will result in the immediate passing by the U.S. Congress of the obviously pre-drafted Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which will, in turn, quickly lead to Americas deep immersion into the bloody Vietnam quagmire. Before it is over, well over fifty thousand American bodies along with literally millions of Southeast Asian bodies will litter the battlefields of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
For the record, the Tonkin Gulf Incident appears to differ somewhat from other alleged provocations that have driven this country to war. This was not, as we have seen so many times before, a false flag operation (which is to say, an operation that involves Uncle Sam attacking himself and then pointing an accusatory finger at someone else). It was also not, as we have also seen on more than one occasion, an attack that was quite deliberately provoked. No, what the Tonkin Gulf incident actually was, as it turns out, is an attack that never took place at all. The entire incident, as has been all but officially acknowledged, was spun from whole cloth. (It is quite possible, however, that the intent was to provoke a defensive response, which could then be cast as an unprovoked attack on U.S ships. The ships in question were on an intelligence mission and were operating in a decidedly provocative manner. It is quite possible that when Vietnamese forces failed to respond as anticipated, Uncle Sam decided to just pretend as though they had.)
Nevertheless, by early February 1965, the U.S. will without a declaration of war and with no valid reason to wage one begin indiscriminately bombing North Vietnam. By March of that same year, the infamous Operation Rolling Thunder will have commenced. Over the course of the next three-and-a-half years, millions of tons of bombs, missiles, rockets, incendiary devices and chemical warfare agents will be dumped on the people of Vietnam in what can only be described as one of the worst crimes against humanity ever perpetrated on this planet.
The Laurel Canyon rock music series is up to 19 installments and at least one more is planned. The thesis is that many of the musicians that came together in Laurel Canyon were children of the MIC and the music and drug culture was to derail the anti-war movement. Lookout Mountain at the top if Laurel Canyon was a military intelligence facility for years.
Jim Morrison is the son of Admiral Morrison of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. There is one picture of Jim with his father not that many years before his fame and the transition to rock star is striking.
I saw and heard the Doors at Winterland in 1968, Janis and Big Brother at Winterland and Fillmore West, and Hendrix at Berkeley Community Theatre (on a high school field trip no less).
I also quite favor(ed) Mr. Zappa.
I post the above link for entertainment and humor value only as an example what can happen by a busy exercise in connecting the dots.
Two interesting books to read:
1. Storming Heaven - LSD and the American Dream (1987); Jay Stevens
2. Acid Dreams - The CIA, LSD, and the 60s Rebellion (1985) Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain

" Address: Castle Street / Conwy / LL32 8AY / North Wales "
Last year Dave and I decided to join the National Trust using the money that his mom had given him for his birthday and have been visiting local attractions such as Bodnant Gardens and Penrhyn Castle. Of course it also gives me the chance to write reviews about them all too!
During the Mayday weekend this year we decided to visit the Conwy Suspension Bridge and the lock keepers cottage. Llandudno was very busy as it was the weekend for the Victorian Extravaganza and we thought it would be nice to get away and do something quieter for a while. We had been meaning to visit the bridge for some time so that was where we headed.
Whilst we were there the National Trust volunteer working in the cottage suggested that we might also like to visit Aberconwy House which is just down the road in the centre of Conwy.
To find Aberconwy House you just need to head for Conwy in North Wales by taking the signposted turning off the A55. You will cross the bridge over the River Conwy in the shadow of Conwy Castle and you're in Conwy. If you are using a Sat Nav the postcode to enter is LL32 8AY and the house is in Castle Street which is the one running parallel to the quayside.
There is no parking at Aberconwy House but there is a car park next to the castle and a couple more car parks together with very limited street parking in Conwy. Since Conwy is a fairly small place it isn't a long walk from wherever you park to get to Aberconwy House and it is easy enough to find.
The house is also easily accessible by public transport as there are regular buses passing through Conwy.
The house is open from the end of March until the end of September between 11am and 5pm each day and the standard admission process are £3 for an adult and £1.50 for a child with discounts for families and groups.
Aberconwy House is a big half timbered house on the corner of Castle Street and High Street. It is reached via a flight of 10 stone steps outside the building or via a staircase in the National Trust shop below the house so there is no access for disabled visitors.
This building is believed to be the oldest house in Wales dating from the 14th century.
It is a medieval merchant's house which survived many battles - mainly with the English - over six centuries.
There are five main rooms which have all been restored and furnished to reflect daily life from various periods during the history of the house.
As we entered the house we were greeted by a very knowledgeable National Trust volunteer who suggested that we begin our tour upstairs where there was an audio visual presentation in one of the rooms.
We did as he suggested and found a room with benches which would seat about 25 to 30 people with standing room for a few more. There was a television in the corner with a video constantly playing on a loop.
We waited for the beginning of the video to come round and settled down to watch it. I usually get a bit bored watching these sort of things but this was interesting and held my attention as it explained who had owned the house and how it had been affected by the various battles over the years. We were also told about the involvement of the National Trust in the purchase and restoration of the house. It lasted about 10 - 15 minutes in all.
We then left that room to explore the rest of the house and look for the things that had been pointed out to us in the video.
Next to the room housing the audio visual presentation was a bedroom. We couldn't actually go into this room but the contents were clearly visible through two open doorways. There was an old metal bed, oak washstand and various other bits and pieces.
Next to that was a large reception room containing some glorious old furniture including a large table and some oak cupboards. One of the fascinating things for me in this room was the fact that a small part of the plaster had been removed to reveal the old construction of the wall beneath. There was also another National Trust volunteer in this room ready to answer any questions.
We left this room via the modern stairs in the corner which lead us back down into the room where we originally entered the building.
This main reception room again contained some lovely old furniture including a table set for afternoon tea. There were also stairs from this room leading down into the National Trust shop beneath.
The other room on this floor was the kitchen which I found the most interesting of the rooms. There was the old fireplace, an amazing old settle which had come from a local hostelry, an oak dresser and various other cupboards and small tables.
When we were there the National Trust volunteer was in this room answering questions and explaining various aspects of the room and the house. He really knew his subject and his information was really interesting.
The whole visit including a walk round the gift shop below took us about an hour and it was fascinating.
All in all I found it a really enjoyable visit and it was nice to get away from the crowds in Llandudno for a while. Obviously this is not a place to spend a whole day, but rather somewhere to visit on the way to somewhere else or as part of a day's visit to Conwy. As I said earlier we combined our visit to Aberconwy House with a visit to the Conwy Suspension Bridge and I have already written a review about that.
Believed to be the oldest town house in Wales dating from the 14th-century.

They might have a few grey hairs and some extra laugh lines, but, two decades on, Boyz II Men are still setting hearts aflutter worldwide.
Best known for their heart-wrenching ballads and soulful harmonies, the most successful R&B group of all-time will hit our shores this month for their fourth Australian tour.
The band's second tenor, Wanya Morris, says that while the guys may have aged, they still have the moves.
''Oh come on, that'd never leave, I don't think that's going anywhere until I'm in a wheelchair,'' the 39-year-old says.
''Bring your tissues, [and] your dancing shoes … because you gonna have the time of your life.
''We're going to take you on a journey that's an emotional, high-energy rollercoaster, songs that are going to help you get to the place that you were [in] back then.''
Since coming together in the late '80s as students at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, Boyz II Men have gone on to sell more than 60 million albums worldwide.
In 1992, their first single to reach No. 1, End Of The Road, retained the top spot for 13 weeks, breaking a decades-long record held by Elvis Presley.
Their tunes I'll Make Love to You and One Sweet Day with Mariah Carey also went on to set new records for the longest period of time a single remained at No. 1.
Morris believes Boyz II Men's popularity at the time stemmed from the originality of their music.
He says the group addressed issues of love like no one else had before.
''I think it was a time where people were struggling to recognise a lot of aspects of love,'' he says.
''If you were losing love, that's all it was about, you never thought about the love you could find because you lost that love.
''You don't think about the things that are going to happen because something's lost.
''So the songs gave hope, they gave people the love they needed when they felt like they didn't have anything.''
It was also one of the first times that harmonies, which Boyz II Men had modelled on those used by a cappella gospel choirs, made their way into the popular music genre.
Morris admits that when they were rehearsing in the school's bathroom (due to the great acoustics), worldwide fame and fortune didn't really cross their minds.
''It wasn't something we set out to do,'' he says.
''Being able to add those musical structures to the sound, it just made sense. It wasn't something we struggled to do, it just came naturally because we were all of the same era and we all loved music in the exact same way.''
Boyz II Men can also lay claim to being one of the first boy bands, with several others popping up after their initial success. Morris says the term ''boy band'' didn't even exist when they started performing together.
''I guess we were the first people that groups started modelling their songs and music after and they just so happened to be boy bands,'' he says.
''For us, we just wanted to get our singing group signed so we could get our music across. As record companies started trying to build groups that could actually do the same thing and sell good music … they actually created boy bands.
''They found … young boys who could sing and looked like they could be on a soap opera. They put them together and made them America's sweethearts; and they could sing their assess off, so it just happened to work!''
While other such bands have come and gone, Boyz II Men are still working together and producing new music two decades on.
They tour regularly around the world, and their most recent studio album, Twenty, - which contains the group's first original material in nearly a decade - was released just last year.
Morris credits the group's great relationship with the longevity of Boyz II Men.
''We're more than friends, we're brothers,'' he says.
''Friends fight and then they're not friends any more, brothers fight and you can go on stage with them and still have a great show.''
After their Australian tour, Morris says the group will again head into the studio, with plans to create yet another Boyz II Men album.
''We realise and we feel like this album has to be epic because it marks a milestone and a completion of what's going to happen next in our career,'' he says.
''We're really excited about it.''
Morris admits, however, that the group's '90s hits are the ones that get audiences most excited.
While their popularity was undeniable at the time, he says the meaning behind the tunes is still relevant today.
''It was just the time, the songs, the sentiments behind it, the vocal inflections,'' he says.
''Everything was supposed to be the way it was because the stars aligned.
''But you can still feel that same connection when you're performing those songs today.''
Just this year, Boyz II Men were recognised for their contribution to the music industry with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Morris says that moment meant a lot to the group.
''It felt incredible, just to think that … 60 years after we're gone, our grandchildren can go over to that spot and say 'this is my grandfather','' he says.

So by now, I'm sure you guys know that The Doll was physically at the taping of the reunion show. Trust me, when i say I gets the T, The Doll gets the T. There was so much drama in part 1, and take it from someone who was there, even more drama is to be seen in part 2. Bay-Bay, this reunion was everything that you wanted and more. Not to mention The Doll got a little airtime. GET INTO IT.
Check out part 1 of the reunion. Let me know what you think. Once part 2 of the reunion airs, I will give you guys ALL THE T and close any gaps that remain. Let me go on record again saying, I live for Miss Joseline. She gives me everlasting life. However, after watching the reunion as well as participating in its filming, I an so over this love triangle between StevieJ, Joseline, and Mimi.
Pay special attention to the argument/fight between K.Michelle & Rasheeda. I was so disappointed when this went down. If only you guys could feel the negative energy that permeated the room when the altercation took place. The reunion definitely was jam packed with emotion.

Bleeding fish, rotten fruit, girls putting contact lenses in. Yup, that's right. There's a new Xiu Xiu video out. How did you guess?
The ever-bizarre Jamie Stewart has unveiled a new video for track 'Honeysuckle' where decaying takes centre-stage as a grand motif. As with everything the band do, it's uncomfortable but intriguing viewing. A voyeuristic clip of hyper-realism.
Stewart will also appear in a forthcoming film called Disoriented, directed by Brian Skeet.
Until then, you can watch this clip above.

Currently, the City of Boston is in the middle of rolling out its Wicked Free Wi-Fi in various locations, the first steps in what someday could become a network that covers the entire city.
Yesterday, signs started to appear where the outdoor wireless internet connection service is available. Mayor Marty Walsh's official account also tweeted about the Wicked Wi-Fi signs popping up around town.
First Wicked Free Wi-Fi signs are up! Keep an eye out for free Wi-Fi hotspots around the city. http://t.co/wzTjuR3bMi pic.twitter.com/KQ3xX1jStK
— Mayor Marty Walsh (@marty_walsh) May 8, 2014
Additionally, the City of Boston has released a map that shows where all the hotspots are located.
As you can tell, the initial Wi-Fi hotspots are centered on areas with lots of tourist activity and foot traffic, such as Southie's beaches and the Public Garden. Additionally, there is a large concentration of hotspots near playgrounds and schools in Dorchester and Roxbury.
The map and new signage are the next steps in the roll out of Wicked Free Wi-Fi, started with the launch of the Grove Hall Wi-Fi project, which Michael Farrell covered for the Globe recently.

Known as the "Concierge of Crime," he sold secrets to and brokered deals between some of the world's most dangerous criminals. Off the grid for over 20 years, Red spontaneously turned himself in to the FBI, offering to help them hunt down criminals so elusive, the U.S. Government isn't aware they exist. His only condition: he will speak only with Elizabeth Keen, a new agent with whom Red seemingly shares no connection.

I know I have a lot of asymmetry, and really hate how I look when I look in the mirror and at photos, but I can't put my finger on exactly what's needed. More feminine jawline? Smaller forehead? I am already doing Botox for wrinkles and I am addressing the weird discoloration on the side of my mouth, so try to look past that!
What Surgery Will Help my Face (photo)?

What Surgery Will Help my Face
First let me start out by saying this is a great question and one that I am asked many times. As amazing as it sounds, patients are frequently not sure of what aesthetically can and can not imporve their appearance in a natural and consistent manner.
Looking at the photos, IMHO aesthetically the following areas can be improved thereby making the face appear more youthful, feminine and attractive. These are listed in their aesthetic order of priority as listed in my book "What's Your Number...The Palmer Code".
- The cheeks are flat and Cheek Augmentation using fillers (I prefer Perlane) or Cheek Implants would give the face a softer, more femine, youthful appearance.
- The eybrows are quite low and despite the high forehead a Brow Lift when performed properly would elevate the eyebrows to a more aesthetic position making the eyes appear more almond-shaped and feminine.
- The Nasal tip is a bit wide and could be thinnned with a Tip-plasty (full Rhinoplasty not required).
- The chin is a bit weak and can be augmented with a Chin Implant (size small) to further balance the lower face on profile.
- These is some evidence of skin laxity (Jowls) more evident on the left side that can be reduced with a minimal incision facelift.
- The upper lip is a bit thin compared to the lower lip and could be augmented using fillerrs or an Alloderm Lip Implant.
Hope this helps.

You are actually very attractive. I would love to see a photo with full makeup and your hair done. Scars from tissue expanders last a lifetime. Maybe a little too much botox being used
Browlift/midface volume/tip rhinoplasty
First off, I should start off by saying that you are a very attractive woman, and you should not hate what you see when you look in the mirror.
Having said that, you could benefit from a few options. A brow lift [hairline] with hairline lowering as mentioned by Dr. Mayer is one such option.
Facial fat grafting is the second option that would be beneficial as well. You have a very thin face and augmenting the cheek area specially would help.
A tip rhinoplasty to better define the cartilage of your nose is another option you could consider.

What surgery would help my face?
Hello, in reviewing your posted photos it is quite clear that you would benefit from a combination of procedures. Let's start with
a rhinoplasty for some tip refinement, upper blepharoplasty (upper eye lid surgery), tear trough fill, augment your cheeks and nasal labial folds with your own fat or filler and laser resurfacing for your skin. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Your surgeon will do photo imaging and you will get a good idea of what you can expect your results to be. Good luck to you.
Volume Enhancement of the Midface
The major recommendation I have is adding volume to the midface and cheek areas. This can be accomplished with fillers such as Radiesse, or volumizers such as Sculptra (my preference) or autologous fat injections. A surgical alternative would involve placement of cheek implants over the malar regions. Regarding the height of your forehead, the answer is well described in the post by Dr. Mayer.

Facial asymmetry and long face with high forehead.
Facial asymmetry and long face with high forehead is quite common. Your hairline needs to be lowered significantly and unless your scalp is very flexible this requires a tissue expander for 6 weeks along with The Irregular Trichophytic Forehead incision and mild browlift. We developed this about 35 years ago and the hair grows thru the scar not behind it. Cheek implants can be done after if you still want them. The mild forehead and brow sadness will be corrected.
Cheek augmentation may help balance a stronger jawline
From your photos you do have a somewhat stronger jawline. Although there are options to reduce a prominent jaw, most involve cutting the jaw bone and are major surgical procedures. An option in your case may be to augment your cheeks to achieve a better balance with your jawline and forehead. This can be done with cheek implants, but injectable fillers, such as Radiesse, Juvederm, and Sculptra, can also augment cheeks. If you are unsure if you would be happy with the long term results, Juvederm and Radiesse do resorb over time. For the skin discoloration, I would suggest starting with a topical lightening cream which contain tretinoin or hydroquinone. Best wishes.

text: Renters who had just moved into a home in Joshua Tree two days ago are looking for a new home after a fire destroyed their house last night. About 6:10 Wednesday evening, Joshua Tree fire fighters were called to the 6200 block of Sun Mesa to find smoke and fire coming from the back left corner of the house. County Fire Captain Jon Garber said the fire started in a laundry room shed near the back of the house, and the blaze spread to a bedroom in the back, before moving into another bedroom and up into the attic. According to Garber, fire fighters were hampered in getting in to the attic due to the fact the ceiling was made of three layers: sheet rock, ceiling tiles, and plywood. The tenants had three dogs inside the house, but Garber said fire fighters were able to rescue only two. Fire fighters were at the scene until about 10 p.m. last night.

A federal operation that allowed U.S. weapons to pass into the hands of suspected gun smugglers so they could be traced to the higher echelons of Mexican drug cartels has lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which have been linked to crimes, including indirectly to the fatal shooting of a Border Patrol agent in December.
The investigation, known as Operation Fast and Furious, was conducted even though U.S. authorities suspected that some of the weapons might be used in crimes, according to a variety of federal agents who voiced objections to the operation.
Many of the weapons have spread across the most violence-torn states in Mexico, with at least 195 linked to some form of crime or law enforcement action, according to documents obtained by the Center for Public Integrity and the Los Angeles Times.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which ran the operation, said that 1,765 guns were sold to suspected smugglers during a 15-month period of the investigation. Of those, 797 were recovered on both sides of the border.
The ATF said agents took every possible precaution to ensure that guns were recovered before they crossed into Mexico. Scot L. Thomasson, the bureau's public affairs chief in Washington, said the Fast and Furious strategy is under evaluation.
"It's always a good business practice to review any new strategy six or eight months after you've initiated it, to make sure it's working, that it's having the desired effect, and then make adjustments as you see fit to ensure it's successful," he said.
But enough concern has been raised that some Washington officials have begun to dig deeper into the details of Operation Fast and Furious. On Thursday, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked top officials at the Justice Department to determine whether further investigation of the operation was needed.
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, initiated an inquiry to determine whether guns traveled to Mexico through inadvertence or deliberate policy on the part of U.S. law enforcement.
"We still don't have the documents we've asked for. Maybe we will get the documents. But right now it's stonewalling," Grassley said Thursday.
Much of what is known about the operation has surfaced in only the past few months, after the Dec. 14 shooting death of Customs and Border Protection Agent Brian Terry.
Terry was killed in a shootout with bandits near Rio Rico, Ariz. Serial numbers on two guns found at the scene matched weapons purchased by a man suspected in a gun-running scheme. The ATF had been monitoring the man in the hopes that he would lead authorities to the Mexican drug cartels.
The man, Jaime Avila Jr., and 33 others were indicted in January on charges of acting as straw purchasers of weapons, along with related drug- and money-laundering charges. As a result of detailed spadework, ATF and Justice Department officials say, those cases now include strong evidence against suspected recipients of the contraband weapons.
No one, however, has been charged with shooting Terry. ATF officials said there was no evidence showing the two Fast and Furious guns found at the scene were used to kill the agent.

Years ago people used pen and paper to do their accounts, then along came some boffins and converted that pen and paper concept to an accounting program. Now, in theory that seemed a good idea... but in practice, all they created were very hard to use pieces of software! As it is incredibly hard to program this type of software, few people attempted it. The result is that for most users, they are stuck with expensive and antiquated accounting programs or software as it is more generally called.
Even today with the advent of the cloud and so called 'software as a service', computer software for accounting is still notoriously difficult to use. For example, one leading brand takes a total of 43 steps just to create a new customer record! Another requires 14 steps to create a VAT Return Now that's enough to make you want to go back to pen and paper!
But don't fret. How about if you were to find an accounting program that did a VAT return in just a single click. And how about if you could add new customers with just 2 clicks. And on top of that, how about if you could download a trial for free so you can decide if it is for you. And what if it came with 100% free forum and email support? Well, you have come to the right place :) Business Accountz does all that and a lot more too. Download the free trial by clicking the link below.

Who's the best soccer team in town? There are plenty of contenders and most of them are the usual suspects. Is it De Smet? CBC? SLUH? Chaminade? Whitfield?
Try Priory.
That's right—the tiny yet mighty Rebels have opened the fall season a house afire. Priory, as of Ladue News press time, was a crisp 7-0, without allowing a goal this season. The Rebels are thumping their opponents left and right. They have yet to score less than two goals and have scored four or more goals five times.
And the schedule isn't soft. Among the fallen are defending Class 2 champion St. Mary's and large school opponents Oakville and Fort Zumwalt West.
Coach John Mohrmann, in his 20th year at Priory, said this team doesn't have one single entity or dominant personality driving it. When the Rebels stunned much of the state by taking the 2005 Class 2 title, it was, in large part, due to the offensive explosion of Jimmy Holmes. This group, though, is different. The success this team is having is due to the collective effort of 13 seniors.
"We have depth and we have skill," Mohrmann says. "We're very balanced all over the field."
Twelve different Rebels have tallied at least one goal. Sam Newman has the team-high with a mere five. Spreading around the scoring load makes the Rebels incredibly dangerous, because you never know where they might strike. With that many kids who are capable of stepping in, it's anybody's guess where the next one is coming from.
And one goal, so far, has been enough to win all of their matches. The defensive unit has been posting clean sheet after clean sheet with seven shutouts to start the season. "It's been pretty clinical," Mohrmann says of his defense.
Another factor in this team's fire is last season's playoff exit. The Rebels were among the best Class 2 teams in Missouri. They were upended by Clayton 1-0 in the district semifinals a week after bludgeoning the Greyhounds 5-2 in the regular season. Clayton would then go on to win the district and find its way at the state semifinals. Priory ended its season 18-4 and stunned.
With that loss still fresh, the current roster has gone about its business in a way that reflects a knowledge few teams have—they know it can be over in a blink. "A lot of the guys, they feel the sting of that still," Mohrmann says. "We know that just because everything is going well now, it doesn't mean it's going to go well next game."
Henry Jones joined some of the rarest of air last Friday night. The St. Louis University High graduate had his number 42 football jersey retired before the kickoff of the Junior Billikens game against CBC.
Jones, class of 1986, left SLUH and played four years of college football at the University of Illinois. He was drafted by the National Football League's Buffalo Bills in 1991 and played in three Super Bowls. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 1992 after he tied for the NFL lead with eight interceptions.
Jones would go on to play 12 years in the NFL with the Bills, Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons before retiring after the 2002 season. Jones is just the second SLUH alum to have his jersey retired. Basketball legend 'Easy' Ed Macauley was the first.

I'd really hate to have to remember that if A is sparse, A.is<foo> works, but if it's dense I need to instead use is<foo>(A). Another alternative would be to suggest these modifications be made to numarray proper, if the method approach appears preferable. But I'd really like to vote for a _single_ syntax for property queries. Ultimately which one doesn't matter that much to me, but I don't want to see two different syntaxes for the same thing.

Have you ever been in a situation where you deserved more respect, but you couldn't command it?
Feeling respected is a huge part of happiness. When we feel respected we are more confident.
This confidence carries into our interactions. When we are confident we want to improve friendships. We want to hang out. We want to jump into new projects that will challenge us.
Of course we all feel weak in certain situations. We can't help but feel this way because we can't be amazing in every situation. Sometimes we have to be humble and accept our situation at the moment. This can be good for you when you are a student learning from a teacher, but when you are expected to command respect you don't have this option.
You have to know the hidden rules of communication that many people don't realize exist.

Despite two previous wins, the Mustangs' woes on offense resulted in an 80-56 loss to Azusa Pacific University in Azusa.
"They just played better than us tonight," said TMC head coach Chuck Martin. "We started off strong, but they made their shots. All the concerns that we were worried about the first two times, which we stayed away from, manifested themselves tonight."
Azusa's all-conference forward Dominique Johnson was a big part of that concern. He stayed quiet in the teams' first two meetings, but led the Cougars with 25 points on Thursday.
TMC caught fire early, taking a 17-12 lead eight minutes into the first half, thanks to a Leif Karlberg 3-pointer and several big buckets from forward Raphael Harris.
When the Cougars (22-9) tried to push the pace, TMC (18-13) seemed ready to answer.
But Azusa kept at it.
The score was quickly leveled at 18-18 on a steal and fastbreak-dunk by Johnson, who made big plays on both ends for the Cougars.
Johnson helped force three straight Mustang turnovers that turned into a 6-0 run, and TMC trailed 24-18 at the eight-minute mark.
Martin called a timeout to slow the pace, but Azusa forced another series of TMC mistakes on offense that led to another 6-0 APU run.
The Mustangs found themselves behind 30-19 at the five-minute mark.
The Cougars never looked back.
TMC forward Dean Hadley kept Johnson in check on offense for most of the first half, but he and Cougars forward Caleb Burgess caught fire just before the break.
Thomas Millar scored 12 points to lead TMC on the night, Harris added nine points and Hadley contributed eight.
Johnson had the biggest impact on the defensive end, stifling TMC's dribble penetration. Azusa's efforts left the Mustangs with an eight-minute field goal drought in the first half.
Mustangs forward Richard LaFleur scored five unanswered points to end TMC's dry spell, but a pair of 3-pointers by Burgess left TMC trailing 39-29 at the half.
The Cougars' perimeter defense kept the Mustangs grounded in the second half, and Azusa shot 54 percent from the field to build a 51-37 lead with 12 minutes left.
TMC picked up its seventh team foul shortly after, and Azusa sank both free throws to push its lead to 16 before Martin called another timeout.
Mustangs guard Joey Fuca, the team's second-leading scorer at 14.3 points per game, picked up his fourth foul a few plays later, and things began to look grim for TMC.
Fuca finished with seven points.
Azusa sank 10-of-12 free throws in the second half, and eventually it built a 20-point lead with eight minutes left before putting the game on cruise control.
TMC beat Azusa 72-69 on Dec. 1 at Azusa to open conference play, and then 65-62 on Feb. 2 at Bross Gym.
Azusa head coach Justin Leslie said the prospect of a three-game sweep at TMC's hands was something that played heavily into his team's psyche for the game.
Before a practice, the team watched film of someone riding a broom around Bross Gym after APU's second loss to TMC near the end of the regular season.
He added that someone put "about 75 brooms" in the Cougars' locker room before Thursday's game.
"So, yeah, I'd say that definitely had something to do with it," Leslie said.

POP MUSIC; We Hate The 80's
By JEFF LEEDS
Published: February 13, 2005
NIKKI SIXX, the bassist for the famously fast-living glam-rockers Motley Crue, believes that even 24 years after their debut, his band still has a certain timeless aspect. ''If you want to drop the tailgate, get some beer and go to a strip club, that's the Crue,'' he said the other day before a rehearsal for the band's new tour. Yet Mr. Sixx's band, which just released a two-disc career anthology including 1987's ''Girls, Girls, Girls'' and 1989's ''Dr. Feelgood,'' is returning at a particularly apt moment.
The music of the 1980's has re-entered the zeitgeist in a gigantic way. What began more than a decade ago with 80's nightclubs spread soon after through ''flashback'' lunch hours across the radio dial. After that came the retro-tinged success of blockbuster films like ''The Wedding Singer'' and pastel-saturated video games like ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.'' On television, the hits of that decade now fill the soundtracks of countless popular series, like ''The O.C.,'' which chose a cover of the OMD hit ''If You Leave'' for a decisive scene last season. And VH1, of course, has built a franchise on 80's exhumations, with ''Big 80's'' and the wildly popular ''I Love the 80's.'' All together, it's proof that the synthesizer-powered pop songs and hair-sprayed headbangers of that era still have a strange hold on the 30-something demographic so desirable to advertisers.
The recording industry was slow to act, but over the last year and a half it has belatedly started trying to cash in on it all. Performers lost in the pop wilderness for a generation suddenly decided to get in touch with their old, often estranged mates, and get the band back together in the name of art, commerce or both. A raft of once-popular acts, from the danceable R&B group New Edition to the pop idols Duran Duran and George Michael to the more self-serious Tears for Fears to the standard-bearers of teenage angst, the Cure, all shook off the dust and signed new recording contracts in the past 18 months or so, releasing CD's of new music in some cases for the first time in 15 years. In the footsteps of Motley Crue's double album, the stylishly snarling Billy Idol, the dark darlings New Order and the famously burly rapper Heavy D will be releasing new albums as well.
All have returned with attendant fanfare, sweeping across red carpets and past screaming fans at radio station visits and showcase concerts.
Yet despite the grass-roots enthusiasm and VH1 dogma -- not to mention millions of dollars in marketing -- the 80's are not selling. People may be donning the once-again fashionable styles of the era (even leg warmers and Flashdance tops) and dancing to the bands of their youth, but they are not going to the store to buy the albums. For the industry that bet on the revival, it's mourning in America.
Take Tears for Fears. After scoring huge hits with the melancholy anthems ''Everybody Wants to Rule the World'' and ''Shout,'' they broke up. Their subsequent decade of silence was broken about five years ago when one member, Curt Smith, sent a fax to his former partner, Roland Orzabal, and the two started writing songs together. They eventually received a six-figure advance from Universal's New Door label, and found themselves playing radio station-sponsored concerts and meeting fans at in-store appearances at Tower Records. According to Nielsen SoundScan data, through Jan. 30 their new album, ''Everybody Loves a Happy Ending,'' had sold just 80,000 copies -- a far cry from their last album, ''The Seeds of Love,'' which sold about one million copies.
Duran Duran, who drew a fanatical following in the early 80's with their rogueish good looks and new-wave hits ''Rio'' and ''Hungry Like the Wolf,'' made a huge splash last year when all five members reunited for a series of concerts (including five sellouts at Wembley Arena in London) and signed a deal with Epic Records for an estimated $500,000. Since then they have been back to woo their rabid female fans, making multiple appearances on ''Regis & Kelly'' and at fashion-industry events. But in contrast to their hits, which routinely sold one million copies or more, the band's reunion album, ''Astronaut,'' had sold only about 199,000 copies in the United States. Motley Crue is expected to enjoy a strong debut, but after that, the precedent is poor.
''The 80's nostalgia boom is real, but it's not broad,'' said Michael Hirschorn, executive vice president of programming for VH1. ''It doesn't apply to everything and not in all ways. It applies to a specific kind of Gen X, self-mocking, slightly ironic thing. For this group of people, you can't give them straight nostalgia of the sort of baby- boomer, ''everything was wonderful and great when we were kids'' feel. People Gen X and younger know that things weren't that great. We never thought that Motley Crue was saving the world. We identify with them passionately, but with a certain wink.''
Reviving the careers of artists who have retreated from the pop music scene is never a simple affair, but it has been done -- usually by updating their image and appealing to new fans at least as directly as old ones. The bluesy rockers Aerosmith nearly disbanded in the 70's, but they re-emerged in the mid-80's via the new medium of music videos, appearing with Run D.M.C. in the rappers' cover of ''Walk This Way.'' They brought in outside songwriters to develop their next album, the hit ''Permanent Vacation,'' and later produced a series of popular high-concept videos. More recently, the guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana, who had struggled to sell records since the late 70's, stormed back in 1999. Arista Records recast the rock legend as pop radio star, pairing him with a string of popular artists en route to releasing the blockbuster ''Supernatural'' album.

Mystery Month: Science Fiction Mysteries
Here's a brain teaser for you: in the far-flung future, a human detective teams up withan android to solve a homicide. Is this a mystery novel, or is it science fiction? The great thing about Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel (1954) is, no matter how many times you read it, and no matter how many angles you look at it from, it's very difficult to assign it definitively to either genre.
Same goes for Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon (2002), which is also set in the future, although Morgan doesn't fling it quite as far as Asimov did. The book's got all the trappings of SF—marvelous new technologies, new societies, and so forth—but at its heart it's a noir. A man is hired to solve a murder, gets mixed up with the victim's seductive wife, and risks his own life in some of the darkest, seediest corners of the city. Is the book SF or is it a mystery?
Tell you what: Why don't you check out this list of SF mysteries and let me know which genre you'd put them in, if you had to choose only one. And let me know which titles you'd add to the list, too.

The Gen Y Recipe for Success: Technology Plus Financial Literacy
Katherine Jansen, senior vice president at Digital Insight, an online banking services provider, said that it is critical for credit unions to help Gen Y get control of their savings.
"Gen Y is getting hammered by the economy," Jansen said. "They've lost jobs, and recent graduates are entering a tough job market. They want to know how they can save and get in control of their expenses."
In order to accomplish this, Jansen said credit union's should hit Gen Y with a one-two punch. The first punch is advertising and awareness in areas that Gen Y are present, such as Facebook. The second punch is backing that up with delivery and services.
Mobile banking is a service that Jansen said Gen Yers expect to be offered. Typically, Gen Y members use their debit cards very frequently, so having alerts and constant access to their account information is how they stay in control of their funds.
"I'm always shocked on how many financial institutions don't have mobile phone compatible viewing Web sites," said Steve King a partner at Emergent Research.
King has worked on a series of reports on small business published by Intuit, the Institute for the Future and Emergent Research; the reports can be found at about.intuit.com/futureofsmallbusiness.
After sitting in on a panel of Gen Yers at a conference, King said that he discovered that this generation is more open to receiving information from their financial institution electronically than most financial institutions are willing to give.
King said that financial institutions can be very successful with Gen Y if they are able to provide those customers with the flexibility to have information feeds to their phones and Facebook pages that they can turn on and off.
"Providing that level of flexibility within systems Gen Y use is very important," King said.
Having a good Web site, mobile banking and online banking and bill pay are what Jansen calls key table stakes.
"If you're drawing this generation to your Web site, then it better be robust and have these types of transactions available. Concentrate on services that will make a difference in their lives. Don't just focus on commodity services."
By offering financial management type tools, Jansen said credit unions can help members manage their money and establish a relationship with them. By helping these members solve problems in their life, such as not having a job, paying off student loans, saving for home ownership or helping them save in general, it will help the credit union retain Gen Yers as members.
"The biggest challenge I have is getting financial institutions to understand that this stuff is not hard," King said. "The biggest mistake these guys make is that they treat it like a project."
King provided an example of one financial institution he was working with to create a new Web site. He said they had the mindset that it would be a large project and had 20 employees dedicated to working on it.
"I told them to take 18 people and give them a real job and keep two employees that were really into it and dedicated to it."
King said with technological improvements and services financial institutions shouldn't be afraid to experiment, fail and a do a lot of playing around.
"You should get it up quickly and make corrections as you go along very quickly. The more you throw at something the worse it usually gets."
Jansen, who works with both banks and credit unions, said that there are a couple of credit union's she's worked with that have been amazing with the way they've approached Gen Y. Generally speaking, she said the most forward thinking credit union's and banks that have used the current market as an opportunity are doing very well.
"With limited resources right now, financial institutions need to pick where they want to fight, and I'd say this is a great place to fight. I ask 'What's the cost of doing nothing?' Gen Y is not just going to sit around and put their money under their mattresses."

Senator Zeldin Thanks Commissioner King for Visit, Remains Critical of Common Core Implementation
Senator Zeldin Thanks Commissioner King for Visit, Remains Critical of Common Core Implementation
New York State Senator Lee M. Zeldin (R, C, I- Shirley) just released the following statement after the conclusion of a meeting and tour with Commission John B. King, Jr. at John S. Hobart Elementary School in the William Floyd School District:
I want to take the opportunity to thank Commissioner King for taking the time to visit John S. Hobart Elementary School earlier this morning. Given the recent controversy surrounding planned PTA forums, I am appreciative that the Commissioner was able to move beyond those issues and join the William Floyd School District in mourning the heartbreaking loss of second grader, Aidan Tarbell, and his mother and twin 2 year old siblings, in last Friday's Shirley house fire. This tragedy has rocked our community and, having two daughters who were friends and classmates of Aidan, has touched my family very personally. Having the opportunity to visit Aidan's classmates and witness their strength through this grieving process is something that will stay with me far beyond our time there this morning.
Before visiting Aidan's classroom, we had the opportunity to meet with Commissioner King and various representatives from the William Floyd School District community, including the Superintendent, School Board President, PTO President, teachers and others. The conversation focused mostly on the implementation of the new Common Core standards. As someone who has been critical of this implementation process, it was especially important for me to participate in this dialogue with Commissioner King and various members of the local community.
While the Commissioner and I do not see eye to eye on Common Core, it's most important to maintain an open dialogue. Whether you're for or against Common Core, or any other education initiative for that matter, there's always room for improvement. If there is one thing we were reminded of today, it's that we all have to remain open minded for the sake of our children. I will continue to voice my criticism and concern with Common Core.
Again, I thank the Commissioner for listening to the diverse feedback he received this morning and I hope that we can work together to address the various concerns with Common Core implementation.

The Real Big Bang Theory
Senior Justin Menestrina had more than a grade to worry about when he submitted his senior honors project in physics—he was also submitting his research as a paper to the very prestigious journal, Physical Review D.
"It is virtually unheard of for an undergraduate to be a co-author, let alone the lead author of a paper that will appear in Physical Review D," says David Weintraub, professor of astronomy. Yet Menestrina's "Dark Radiation from Particle Decays during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis," co-authored by Professor of Physics Robert Scherrer, was published by the journal recently.
Menestrina studied the effect of particles decaying in the early universe on the production of elements during the first few minutes of the Big Bang. The physics major says that the ability of new technologies to make precise measurements of the radiation left over from the Big Bang has allowed established ideas about the universe to be experimentally tested. His paper attempted to reconcile some surprising discrepancies between what has long been believed about the universe and what the experiments have actually found.

NJ Gov. Chris Christie is being asked to apologize for referring to New Jersey state Assembly leader Sheila Oliver as "an African American female speaker of the Assembly" during a church hosted meeting and not by her name. Okay, really people? We are clogging up the news cycle with this BS?
Christie told an audience Tuesday that an "African-American female speaker of the Assembly" is blocking a vote on a school voucher bill that would let children in failing districts attend classes elsewhere.
Democratic Speaker Sheila Oliver later said she was "appalled" that Christie injected race into the discussion on education. Oliver, who represents a district with some failing schools, has said she believes the state should make a larger investment in public education.
On Thursday, the pastor whose church hosted the meeting asked Christie to apologize. He said the governor was disrespectful to the speaker and missed a chance to unite the community.
"I was and am saddened by the governor's blatant attack (on the speaker)," said Kenneth Clayton, pastor of St. Luke Baptist Church in Paterson. "The words that the governor chose to use in speaking of Oliver, while not even respecting her enough to call her by name, defy his earlier assertion that political leaders, himself included, need to learn to respect all views and work together." Source
Given Chris Christie's approval rating, I seriously doubt he has anything to worry about. His office said he was misinterpreted. Let's not get petty and bring race into the gubernatorial race for New Jersey. How would Ms. Oliver have felt if Gov. Christie had called her a negro? There are more important things to worry about in New Jersey than Sheila Oliver being called an African American by the governor. Ms. Oliver should be worried about all those failing schools in her district and the impact it will have on the community as a whole.

CLAREMONT – Laguna Hills' girls tennis team hasn't had what you would call a "typical" season.
Between playing an entire pre-league schedule without their top two girls, to winning just one match before beginning Sea View League play, to making the playoffs with a 7-9 overall record, the Hawks didn't get a real chance to hit their apex until the postseason started.
Nevertheless, Laguna Hills (12-9) claimed its first CIF-SS Division 3 championship since 1998 with a 10-8 victory over Arroyo Grande (21-2) on Friday at The Claremont Club.
"When we play preseason, we play the Woodbridges, the Santa Margaritas, the Beckmans, so we play some good teams," Hawks coach Cary Crouch said. "They're going to beat us, but if you look at all the scores, if you give us six (sets) with the girls we were missing and take away six, we would've been in real good shape."
Sophomore Alex Valenstein (6-2, 6-0, 6-0) and senior Mikey Barthelmass (6-4, 6-1, 6-3) swept at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively, and the No. 1 duo of Amanda Jaffe and Julia Traylor (6-4, 6-2, 6-0) claimed three of the Hawks' four doubles sets.
"We only have two kids that play any kind of tournaments," Crouch said. "The rest of the kids need to see how hard they (Valenstein and Barthelmass) play and understand the whole idea of playing extremely hard."
Barthelmass, who missed the preseason due to prearranged college visits, went 15-0 in the postseason and Valenstein, who spent the preseason playing in Chile, finished 14-1.
"The rest of the girls on our team see how Mikey will go through a game plan before a match and that's huge for us," Crouch said. "For her, with as much experience as she has, to listen and show the other kids that it's OK to listen is real important."
Tied at 6-all by the start of the third round, Laguna Hills took an insurmountable lead in games following Barthelmass' final-set victory. Regardless, Tiffany Lam and Arianna Bennett claimed their final doubles set, 7-6, to win the match outright.

Spanish Destinations That You Can Visit During Your Holiday
Spain can be a fabulous location if you are looking to get away to somewhere nice during the Eid season. Of course, the secret to an unforgettable holiday in this part of the world is choosing the right destination. The great thing about Spain is there is just so much variety, so you are sure to find a part of the country with all the ingredients for your perfect holiday.
Where to Go in Spain
If you choose one of the main tourist areas for your holiday, you'll find plenty of things to see and do in the local area. While having a Spanish holiday you'll not only enjoy a lovely climate and fantastic beaches you'll also enjoy mouth-watering {halal} food that will tickle your taste buds. It's also nice to sometimes get off the beaten track and away from the tourist areas, as this can lead to some of the most memorable moments of a holiday.
Some of the best destinations for your holiday in Spain would include:
Mainland Spain
There is something for everyone on the Spanish mainland. If you want to enjoy all the excitement of a city, you could try destinations like Madrid, Barcelona, or Seville. The great thing about choosing a metropolitan area is that there is going to be plenty of cultural attractions as well as heaps of entertainment and the opportunity to go shopping. The best beach areas on mainland Spain would include Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, and Costa Brava.
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are the place to go if you want to enjoy the best beaches in Spain. There are a number of islands to choose from, and they all offer something different. Tenerife is a good option for a family holiday, and Gran Canaria is great for couples.
Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands include Ibiza, Majorca, Formentera, and Minorca, as well as some smaller islands. Ibiza is famous for its wild beach parties and great nightlife – it's almost like a theme park for adults. Minorca is probably the most beautiful of the islands, and this is a good option if you just want to go somewhere to relax.
You are going to have no trouble finding somewhere interesting to go for your Eid holiday. It's just a case of thinking about what you would like from your holiday, and choosing your destination based on this. Most of these destinations do offer a mix of things to see and do, so there can be enough to keep everyone happy.
