Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Grams, Dec 12, 2011.
Is there ever an end to just what a class act Andre Johnson is?? I read that TJ spent a lot of time throwing to AJ when AJ was coming back from his first injury, thats got to have been a huge help for him.
Cool move on Kubiak!
The wow factor
This week's edition goes to the AFC South champion Texans, their game defense and their incredible third-string quarterback.
Ladies and gentlemen, T.J. Yates.
Seven straight wins for the Texans overall, and yes, the defense gets a large assist for holding seven straight teams to 20 points or fewer.
But it's the mark of a composed, young player when he can rally from a horrid start to a game and finish the way he did, engineering his second fourth-quarter game-winning drive in as many starts. Sunday he moved the Texans 80 yards without a timeout and hit Kevin Walter for the winning score with two seconds left.
Neither Yates nor the defense was on point early, but the Texans rallied from four turnovers, five sacks allowed and a 13-point halftime deficit.
"It was ugly," said Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, who has to be a Coach of the Year front-runner. "We didn't play well. We turned the ball over. We couldn't stop their running game. It didn't look like we had a chance of getting out of here with a win.
"But we have a young quarterback who believes in what he's doing. He bailed us out of some really tough situations."
The defense boned up, too. After allowing Cedric Benson to rush for 92 yards on 13 first-half carries, he finished with 91 yards on 21 carries. Connor Barwin's strip-sack of Andy Dalton was the catalyst for the comeback, and Yates led the final two scoring drives with guts, determination and no Andre Johnson, who was sidelined.
Is it time we consider the Texans a serious contender? No one is making excuses for them now.
Tebow-mania has watered down the Texans' story a bit nationally, but you get the idea that's just fine with Kubiak, who has a special team on his hands.
Mike & Mike in the Morning, ESPN/ESPN Radio
John Fox is now the leading candidate for Coach of the Year, although McCarthy and Gary Kubiak should get some consideration.
Fox has a chance if Tebowmania keeps on rolling and Denver makes it to the playoffs. They can still miss, and if they don't make the playoffs Fox has no chance.
You'd have to look at Kubiak and McCarthy. Yes, the Packers are loaded, are the defending SB champs and were expected to be even better this year -- but if the team finishes undefeated, it's hard not to go with that. It doesn't take much of a letdown to lose a game in the NFL, so no matter how talented a team is, an undefeated season is a serious coaching feat.
Kubiak's best chances would be if the Packers lose a game or two down the stretch, Denver misses the playoffs and the 49ers limp badly into the playoffs.
Peter King, MMQB:
There's a long line of people to credit for the Texans' first playoff appearance ever
Credit owner Bob McNair for not firing Gary Kubiak last January, and for running the kind of organization people want to work for. Credit GM Rick Smith for picking Johnathan Joseph over Nnamdi Asomugha, and making over the defense in the draft with J.J. Watt and Brooks Reed in the first two rounds. Credit the scouts and Smith and Kubiak for taking a shot on an underwhelming quarterback, T.J. Yates, in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, because there were a few things about him -- a good-enough arm, moxie, maturity -- that told Kubiak he'd be a good developmental prospect. Credit the players for not tanking when so many good players were lost -- Mario Williams, Andre Johnson, Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart.
Today, Houston (10-3) is the first seed in the AFC playoff race, and 25 percent of those wins (two plus the second half of the Jacksonville game) were won by Yates. Amazing story. The Texans were down 19-10 midway through the fourth quarter to a desperate Cincinnati team. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said before the game this was the biggest game he'd coached, and though they hadn't played great, Cincinnati was in position to win against the rookie by just making a couple more stops. The Bengals couldn't.
"I have to give a lot of credit to coach Knapp,'' Yates told me afterward, referring to quarterback coach Gregg Knapp. "Back in camp, I never had a relaxing practice. He grilled me nonstop mentally. He tested me on plays, on defenses, everything.''
"Give me an example,'' I said.
"I'd be there watching practice, and Matt [Schaub] would be about to take a snap, and coach Knapp would say to me, 'All right: What blitz here makes you go to your hot receiver?' By the time I got to play, I felt like I'd had millions of mental reps. I can guarantee you that's why I've been able to come in and play.''
On the winning touchdown pass to Kevin Walter, Owen Daniels and Derrick Mason went into the end zone on twin routes to take coverage with them -- and if one was open, Yates would find him. But scraping underneath was Walter, and his primary cover guy fell as Walter crossed over the middle. Easy pickings. "All I had to do was get the ball to him.''
Said Yates: "It's pretty wild. Pretty unbelievable. Today, I made a few mistakes early, and coach Kubiak got in my ear pretty good. Like, 'You can't make mistakes like that!' Then as the game went on, he'd say, 'Short-term memory.' Which is what you have to have as a quarterback.''
Said right tackle Eric Winston: "It's one thing to get a third-string rookie ready to run a few packages. T.J. can basically run everything.'' And that is why the Texans, with a third-string quarterback, aren't going to be so easy to beat in January.
The Award Section
Offensive Players of the Week
Houston QB T.J. Yates. Played like Manning earlier in the day in Cincinnati. Down 19-10 midway through the fourth quarter, Yates led field-goal and touchdown drives to clinch the Texans' first playoff berth in their history. With a 26-of-44, 300-yard passing day, Yates showed the Texans might not have to try to win despite him.
Coach of the Year Watch
1. Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco...
2. Mike McCarthy, Green Bay...
3. Gary Kubiak, Houston. At 10-3, with 2.5 wins coming with a third-string quarterback ... this is another guy who could move up in the last three weeks.

Pretoria - Paralympian Oscar Pistorius walked out of Boschkop police station in Pretoria with a jacket over his head on Thursday after the fatal shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

According to reports, Pistorius was being taken to Mamelodi hospital for blood tests ahead of his appearance in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Thursday afternoon .
The double amputee paralympian athlete, who uses carbon fibre prosthetic legs, sat between two people in the back seat of a white unmarked VW Polo.
A driver and passenger were in the front seat as the vehicle drove off, with photographers vying for a shot of the world famous athlete who had qualified to compete with able-bodied athletes.
Police opened a murder docket following the shooting at Pistorius' home at Silver Woods Country Estate in Pretoria in the early hours of the morning.
Steenkamp was reportedly shot four times. - Sapa

When I heard Magical Antique for the first time, I fell in love with it. It had everything I wanted to hear: great chords, great instrumentation, catchy themes, and some variety. Most people would classify this OST as "cute," and I'd have to agree with them. But that better not stop you from listening to this OST, or you'll be sorry. I'm serious. If you love a little taste of variety every now and then, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up.
The album gets off to a good start with the vocal "Littlestone", and takes you on a magical journey filled with lots emotion and catchy melodies. Songs like "Precious Daisy" and "Gentle Breeze" are filled with happiness and mirth, while songs like "To the End of the Dream" and "Overwhelming Power" are filled with suspense and intensity, while still retaining the overall "happy" feel of the album. The album ends with yet another vocal track, "A Stroll," a track fit for a dynamic ending. By the end of this OST, if you like it, you'll probably want more.
If you want to try something new, then I highly recommend this album. Heck, I recommend this album to anyone if they're brave enough. Once you get into this OST, you won't get out. It's truly magical, and years from now, it'll be a much sought after antique. Grab it while you can.

West Australian retailers, battling consumer caution and deep discounting like their counterparts elsewhere, believe the long-awaited introduction of Sunday trading in their state will help them overcome flat trading conditions. In fact, any straw will do.
Anna Abelha, owner of children's clothing and homewares chain Funky Kids, said the past two years had been the toughest she had experienced since setting up her business in Perth in 2004. She hopes Sunday trading will bring more customers through her doors.
"For my business, you've got lots of mums that are so busy during the week, and they can leave the kids at home with dad and shop child-free with their girlfriends on Sunday . . . and maybe make an impulse purchase," Ms Abelha said.
After years of political wrangling and debate over what could and could not be sold on a Sunday, the new law passed on Thursday with barely a murmur and the support of both major political parties. A starting date is likely later this year.
With new Opposition Leader
WA Commerce Minister
Despite WA's strong economy, retail sales have not outshone the other states, falling 0.2 per cent seasonally adjusted in the March quarter, says the Australian Bureau of Statistics – better than Victoria, down 1.6 per cent, but behind Queensland, South Australia and NSW. Big retailers have been quick to welcome the change with Coles saying it was overdue and Woolworths saying that it brought WA in line with other states.
"For an organisation with a national footprint, not all states are doing well, so to get an improvement in trading conditions anywhere is a good thing," a Coles spokesman said.

What a find. I never knew that this place existed all this time I've lived in Upper West Side in NYC. (It's located on 72nd St. & Broadway; to the west of Broadway.) Perfect little gem of a used LP store. I couldn't believe how many records were packed into such a small space! They mainly do classical and jazz, very little or no rock. But for classical, at least, their selection was on par or better than Academy Records near Union Square. They had a VPI 17.5 there, and I suspect they do a pretty good job cleaning their records. Couldn't browse as much as I wanted to, b/c I was w/ my wife & kids, but there's no doubt I'll be there a lot. It was almost flabbergasting how many records there were in there. And the whole time, they were playing some sweet sweet jazz mono records from the 30s - 40s on a humble Dual deck, and I must confess, although I've heard so many uber-expensive set-ups, the music I heard at West Side while browsing the records sounded more real, sweet & soulful than many of those set-ups.
Bought a set of Schubert sonatas for 12 bucks (3 LPs, Artur Schnabel) and the discs play immaculately; can't be more pleased. Weird thing: it's the Italian EMI set, but the graphics also have that RCA dog with the words "La Voce Del Padrone." What gives? Was EMI merged w/ RCA at some point? Just curious.

She has not been seen for five years, but that is not keeping friends and family from remembering Audrey May Herron.
Herron was 31-years-old when she disappeared after leaving a Catskill health care facility where she was a nurse. And although the worst is expected, NEWS10's Latricia Thomas found out friends and family still hope for a break in the case.
Five years worth of unanswered questions.
"It seems like a thousand years, it just goes on with no hope," Audrey's father, Ray Turk says.
Ray Turk knows all too well, the moment when everything changes.
"When it happened, I said I'll never see her again," says Turk. "But I keep praying I do, but I don't believe it's ever going to happen."
From what investigators have pieced together to this point, the parking lot at the Long Term Health Care Facility in Catskill – where Audrey worked – was the last place anyone ever saw her. Police say she got off of her shift at 11pm, talked to some co-workers, and has not been seen since.
"She never made it, her and her car disappeared – and as of today, they can't locate the car or her," Audrey's father says. "We can't go past a black Jeep Cherokee without looking at it quick to double-check."
And Audrey's case is far from forgotten by State Police.
"This case has taken us physically to Canada to Missouri, several other locations – I mean the leads have taken us all over the country," says State Police Senior Investigator Scott Youngblood.
They are leads that have proven fruitless; unable to bring some kind of conclusion to Audrey's family and friends.
"Not that it would end the nightmare, but you need to know – I can't explain what that feeling is, of not knowing," Audrey's friend, Marie Parker says.
"You don't want to give up, I'll never give up as long as I'm here," says Audrey's father.

Last year, more than 111 million watched the New York Giants best the New England Patriots for a second time in Super Bowl XLVI (46).
That also meant millions of Super Bowl parties around the world, and an increase in waste and recyclables generated.
?A Super Bowl party is a great opportunity to shape some green habits,? said Justin Caporusso, Public Affairs Manager for Waste Management.
?There can be a cost-savings to it, too.?
As you and your friends and family prepare to judge this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials and/or watch which Harbaugh team prevails, consider the following: VI Simple and Easy Super Bowl Party Green Tips
---- Carpool ? If you're hosting a party or going to one, encourage ride sharing especially if parking is limited.
---- Buy in Bulk ? Whether it's snacks or drinks, go for less packaging. One two-liter bottle is almost three 12-ounce cans.
---- Finger Foods ? When someone can grab and munch, that typically means fewer plates and utensils. For those who prefer to eat their pizza or hamburger with a fork and knife, bring out the silverware and china.
---- Two-Container (or Three-Container) System ? One for trash, one for bottles and cans, and if available in your area, one for food waste. If given recycling options, most folks will use it.
---- Support Your Local Products ? Whether it's a microbrew from down the street or homemade salsa from the farmer's market, buying local helps reduce carbon emissions.
---- Television Reuse - If you finally decided to upgrade your TV, consider donating your old one to charity or to any college student living in the dorms. And don't forget to recycle the cardboard box that the new one came in.
?Regardless of which team wins the Super Bowl, we're all winners if we're able to reduce our carbon footprint,? said Caporusso. ?The more materials we can recycle, the greater the impact on saving earth's precious resources.?

WASHINGTON, Mar 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE)—Social Compact announced today the launch of its Washington, DC-based 'CityDNA,' a new easy-to-use web-based system that will serve as a one-stop-shop for visualizing and analyzing local market data. CityDNA aims to help local governments, investors and community groups understand and respond to the unique market characteristics of their communities.
CityDNA is made possible through support from the Citi Foundation and marks a giant leap forward in the technical capacity available to stakeholders working toward sustainable community development in the District. "The Citi Foundation's support of Social Compact's innovative technology will help Social Compact achieve its mission, which is to enable community development practitioners and private investors to drive investments and revitalization in underserved communities in Washington, DC, and ultimately throughout the United States," said Ron Guggenheimer, Global Director of Business Intelligence and Analytics, Global Transaction Services, Citi and Executive Vice Chairman of Social Compact.
Developed in partnership with Universal Mind, a cutting-edge web-design and data-management company, CityDNA allows both experts and novice users to easily create their own data solutions, including customizable reports, maps, charts and tables based on their queries about specific communities in the city.
"The launch of CityDNA today heralds the arrival of a new era of information-led development for our community development partners in Washington, DC. Local governments, investors and community development organizations–whatever their size and capacity–will now have access to the very best local market data and information management technology," said Social Compact's President and CEO, John Talmage. "Developing tailored, localized data solutions for attracting investment or responding to mortgage foreclosures will now take a matter of minutes rather than days or months," says Talmage.
CityDNA, a resource for informing market stabilization and revitalization strategies, will store a multitude of data including comprehensive real estate information provided by First American CoreLogic Inc.
"We are delighted to continue our long-standing support of Social Compact with the launch of CityDNA today. CityDNA will collect data generated by First American CoreLogic and is the perfect platform for the community development field to respond to the current real estate challenges and opportunities in Washington, DC," said Karen Collins, Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer at First American Corporation.
The Washington, DC-based CityDNA hosts a wealth of information, including:
— A comprehensive database of neighborhood economic indicators resulting from Social Compact's 2007 citywide DrillDown neighborhood market analysis;
— The recently-completed 2009 District-wide Business Environment Scan assessing the presence and health of the District's small businesses; and
— A wealth of indicators pertaining to the District's housing market, including foreclosures, market sales, home values and more.
Social Compact is a coalition of national business leaders committed to catalyzing investment in underserved urban neighborhoods. CityDNA marks a major step towards achieving this mission. The Washington, DC-based CityDNA, followed by Miami, FL, will pioneer the next generation of data tools designed to support sustainable community development. Social Compact plans to expand CityDNA to other cities later this year.
The Washington, DC-based CityDNA launch is marked by an introduction and training session for local District partners to be held Friday, March 12, 2010 from 9:30am to 12:30pm at the Washington D.C. Economic Partnership, 1495 F Street, NW. Among the attendees are representatives from the District Department of Small and Local Business Development, the District Office of Planning, Enterprise Community Partners, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation and Citi.
The Washington, DC-based CityDNA will be made available to a select pool of registered users. For a nominal monthly fee, additional users can gain access to the tool. For more information on how to access Social Compact's CityDNA, please contact Carolina Valencia, Director of Research at 202-547-2581 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Social Compact
Social Compact, launched in 1990, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of business leaders from across the country committed to promoting successful investment in lower-income communities. Working in close partnership with community and corporate leaders over the past decade and a half, Social Compact has successfully pioneered its unique "DrillDown" methodology as an accepted analysis of inner-city markets based on accurate, business-oriented profiles of "emerging" neighborhood markets. Drawing on business disciplines and community strength, these DrillDown profiles have a strong track record of catalyzing sustainable, private investment, benefiting communities and businesses alike.
To date, Social Compact has conducted DrillDowns in 20 cities across the country and has consistently found these communities to be larger, safer and with far greater buying power than previously thought. Cumulatively, Social Compact has identified: an aggregate household income $35 billion (22%) higher than census trend projections; 350,000 more households than census trend projections; and 1.25 million more residents than census trend projections.

This year I decided to try and make a few. After several failures I figured it out and came up with this:
Also very pretty, if I do say so myself. But by the time it was finished, I felt finished with the project. I am a little burned out with ornaments this year, but I'm sure I'll be ready for them again next year. This ornament went to a friend at church.
I also made a beaded icicle ornament which was very easy and quick. I only made one of these as well, but plan to make a bunch more for next year's tree.
This will be my last post until after the holiday. Merry Christmas!

- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 8.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 27.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- LONG has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 8.85, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for ELONG INC is currently very high, coming in at 77.00%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 7.80% trails the industry average.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry and the overall market, ELONG INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- LONG's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 38.93%, which is also worse than the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, LONG is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.

Hunting Clubs in Louisiana
February 4, 2001, 12:02 AM
Do any Louisiana members have any advice about joining a hunting club in Louisiana? Please list any recommended clubs and contact info. Thanks, Stoic.

Stoic, I don't know of any contact persons offhand. I used to belong to a club in the Tunica Hills out of St. Francisville but it folded. I hunt on private family owned land now. There are a lot of clubs in the St. Francisville area and some are always looking for members. I recommend that you check the Baton Rouge Morning Advocate in the classifieds under hunting and fishing and lots of times they advertize there looking for members. I checked your profile and see that you are in the New Orleans area so St. Francisvills is not that far a drive. I imagine the Times Picayune also had ads like that. You also may ask around among your firends. A last resort is to post a classified ad of your own requesting a club member to cantact you.

Kauri Cliffs is owned by Wall Street multimillionaire and former hedge-fund guru Julian Robertson, who bought a 4,000 acre New Zealand cattle ranch years ago and recently decided to create a destination resort on part of it. The course was designed by David Harman of Orlando, who built courses for Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer before forming his own design firm in the 1990s.
Unlike some designers given a once-in-a-lifetime site, Harman succeeded in blending the course into the magnificent scenery. There are no massive mounds or outlandish waterscapes to divert attention away from the natural splendor. The broad fairways follow the curvature of the land, greens are mere extensions of fairways, and bunkers are modest in size and number. Six holes edge oceanside cliffs, and others conclude on inland promontories. Only three holes in a canyon don't offer panoramic views, but they may be the best holes on the course.
To the dismay of some Kiwis, Kauri Cliffs could well become and American hangout. Locals had better play it now. This course looks to be a must-play destination.

No. 37 Brandon Jennings
BJ's stats were solid last year: 32.6 minutes, 15.5 points, 1.3 steals, 5.7 assists and 1.8 threes per game. Expect those, along with his subpar shooting percentage, to jump this year as he continues to gain more experience.
Expect the Bucks to make a jump this year, too. And expect the calf muscle to be their point man.
Jennings and the Bucks aren't merely shooting for a repeat of last season's somewhat surprising run. They've got their eyes on the Central Division crown, and it's not as far out of their grasp as you may think. We all know what happened to the Cavs. The Pacers are still a ways away, and Detroit may not be on the upswing quite yet. So that leaves the Bucks and the Bulls. Packed with their free agent signings, Chicago is a phenomenal team to play with in a video game (believe me, I've updated my 2K10 rosters).

Thoughts; tummy tuck? Laser Lipo? Cool sculpting? Liposuction? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 12
Tummy Tuck - Laser Lipo-Cool Sculp
Thank you for your question and photographs.
A brief review of your history that includes four pregnancies indicates you have abdominal muscles that have been "stretched", and your photograph shows loose skin and stretch marks above and below the umbilicus. The best way to treat both lax muscles and skin is a full abdominoplasty. The hip/flank area may be improved with liposuction.
Smart Lipo and Cool Sculpting are procedures designed for smaller amounts of fat removal and skin that does not have that much laxity.
In my practice, we include the liposuction of the anterior flank/hip as part of the global fee if it is needed.
Good luck with your procedure.
A tummy tuck with liposuction of your flanks (hips) and abdomen will give you the best results
From your picture it appears that you have some lipodystrophy (fat deposits) on your abdomen and flanks (hips). The best way to correct both of these problems and give you the best results is to preform liposuction on your abdomen and flanks along with a tummy tuck and plication diastasis recti (tightening your abdominal muscles). This can be done safely with out a drain if your surgeon limits the undermining of your upper half of your abdomen to just in the mid line, preserving the perforating blood vessels which supply the blood supply to this upper portion of your abdomen. Combining this with plication of the fascia (fibrous tissue) of the abdominal flap to the abdominal muscle fascia, makes it safer with better results and there is no need for a drain. See my paper on Abdominalplasty with suction Undermining with out the use of a drain, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, PRS, September, 2011.
TT vs Liposuction
Best wishes
You might also like...
In your case, I do suggest a Tummy tuck along with liposuction to the waist, upper and lower back. The cost can be between $ 5000- 6500.
Tummy tuck or cool sculpting
A tummy tuck with flank liposuction will give you your best result Laser liposuction will not improve your result and will increase your surgical time. Cool scultping will not be helpful. Your surgeon;s office will explain the fees.
Thoughts; tummy tuck? Laser Lipo? Cool sculpting? Liposuction?
The best option as seen in the posted photos is a full tummy tuck. As for costs you also need to include the hospital costs as this portion is NOT covered by insurance so I would venture an out of pocket expense of $10,000.
Tummy improvement
Thanks for submitting your pictures. From observing the pictures, tummy tuck will give you not only a flat stomach , but because of the muscles tightening, there is high likelihood that you will lose significant amount of weight. Few of my patients lost over 40 pounds in about 4 - 6 weeks ! Due to the significant amount of weight loss, I usually do not do liposuction procedure at the same time and I wait 6 - 8 weeks for the weight to stabilize and than assess the need for liposuction. Another important fact is that combination of tummy tuck and liposuction is associated with significantly higher rate of complication . It is my belief, that because cosmetic surgery is purely elective it should have as minimum as possible, complication. So, I do it in two stages if necessary. Consult with board certified plastic surgeon whom you find safe and you like their before and after pictures.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

Tummy tuck and lipo
For the best result you should have a tummy tuck and lipo at the same time. I, for one, almost always include liposuction at the same time as the tummy tuck provided there is no significant interference with the blood supply. You may even want to consider a full lower body lift also known as a belt lumpectomy..
Tummy tuck Lipo cool sculpt?
Thanks for your questions and your photographs.
From your photos it seems as though you have a lot of loose skin above and below the belly button. Fat removal devices such as laser lipo or regular liposuction and even cool sculpt will make the skin even looser. Tummy tuck will tighten the loose skin.
If the skin tone is better in the flanks lipo may be appropriate to improve the hip contours.
In my own practice flank liposuction is included in the price of the tummy tuck for areas that can be reached with the patient asleep face up. Some patients carry more fullness around to the backside. for these patients we start liposuction with the patient face down first. For posterior flank liposuction we charge a second site fee because it takes longer.
A word of caution: While we all hope that your breast reduction and tummy tuck help to alleviate your pain there are many causes of back pain and these surgeries may not solve it. In fact many patients temporarily experience an increase in back pain until they can stand up straight after tummy tuck.
Best wishes and good luck.
Thoughts? Tummy Tuck?
Basically your best option is Saldanha technique lipoabdominoplasty with lipoplasty of the hips/flanks. Anything less would not give you the result possible with these. Best to you.

TV Host Blows Up Over Firing Of Coach for Verbal and Physical Abuse
Apr 4, '13Rutgers coach fired for abuse of players
Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice was fired after video of him verbally and physically abusing his players went viral on the internet and aired on ESPN. ...
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50144171nApr 4, '13This type of "coaching style" went out years ago...it is especially not impressive when his actions don't even create a winning team or atmosphere.Apr 4, '13If you hurl basketballs and gay slurs at a player, you will be fired. If you bomb police buildings and are convicted of murder, you are hired. Go figure.Apr 4, '13Quote from Kylee BI think I missed something somewhere, I'm not getting your reference here. However, I'm often "out of the loop" as they say, so it could very well just be me.If you bomb police buildings and are convicted of murder, you are hired.Apr 5, '13Dusting off my soap box
Many of these big name schools treat their athletes very "special". The coaches seem to be treated even more so. This is not the first coach who has been seen with poor sportsmanship. Bobby Knight will probably hold one spot on that dais, as will Jerry Sandusky. There is a line that coaches need to find. They need to motivate and show appropriate behaviors. Coach K comes to mind.
Someplace along the way we have looked to the alumni to keep prestige schools going and team sports are part of this legacy. They pay for season tickets and support the school in many ways. They want winning teams. Too often there is a blind eye to the negatives of sports. When the outcome game becomes more important than how the team plays it no longer assists the individual to use skills learned on the court in other areas of life. It used to be that team sports prepared the individual to work better in the work world. Now, I doubt that.
Hitting, kicking, pushing and attempting to throw a ball into genitalia go beyond boundaries. Anti gay and anti female slurs cannot never be acceptable. He is a teacher first. He violated the rules for all teachers. Bye -Bye.Apr 7, '13Quote from justin.jI think I missed something somewhere, I'm not getting your reference here. However, I'm often "out of the loop" as they say, so it could very well just be me.
The following were all hired by universities after committing crimes.
Kathy Boudin, Member of the Weather Underground
Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin-who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard-now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University's School of Social Work, The Post has learned.
Bill Ayers, member of Weather Underground
Ayers admitted in a 2001 book that he participated in bombings of the New York City Police Department headquarters, the U.S. Capitol Building and the Pentagon in the early 1970s.
In an interview in 2001, Ayers said
''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''
Bill Ayers is married to:
Bernardine Dohrn, member of Weather Underground
When talking about pregnant actress Sharon Tate's murder by the Manson clan:
"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!" ..."...after refusing to testify to a federal grand jury in New York investigating the Brinks robbery, Dohrn spent seven months in jail for contempt of court.

Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin now teaches at Columbia School of Social Work - NYPOST.comApr 7, '13Quote from Kylee BSee, figured I probably missed something. Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.
The following were all hired by universities after committing crimes.Apr 7, '13Hiring staff is the prerogative of any facility. Their judgement may include hiring people some might think are not to be hired. The issue being discussed here is the firing of a coach for his current behaviors towards students that he was hired to instruct, including teaching sportsmanship. He failed in his job. He was teaching bullying and using anti minority slurs.
If you were not involved with the war in Vietnam in some way I doubt you can understand much of what went on in those terrible years. I worked in the VA and saw the results of the war and other wars. Although I was not in the Weathermen or any Underground movement I did speak out about the war and other injustices.
I taught college and educated nurses without teaching how to bomb. It is entirely possible to be a good educator even if your politics are not mainstream. My job was to teach nursing which I did very well. It did not include political science in any form and I did not engage in any.
It is not possible to teach and lead a team while showing prejudice, bullying and using violence as a form of punishment. That is what we are discussing.Apr 7, '13Huskies glean different message from Rutgers coach's antics
The abusive actions of former Rutgers men's basketball coach Mike Rice were not lost on Washington football players.
TODD DYBAS; Staff writer Published: April 7, 2013
... The glimpse of Rice's coaching tactics - screaming, intimidating, frothing, insulting - provided a peek into the approach many coaches take. They want to bully their point across.
"I definitely had coaches, AAU ball, that used crazy language," Washington quarterback Keith Price said. "I wouldn't say put their hands on you, but if they could, they would."
Wide receiver Kasen Williams said he was a "slow learner" when he arrived at Washington. The depth of the Huskies' playbook and overall adjustment to NCAA Division I football was a challenge for him. He said a volatile approach like Rice's would have forced him to tune out what he needed to learn.
"That does nothing but push back a relationship between a coach and a player," Williams said. "That makes a player not want to be around the coaches, learn from the coaches because we have that memory of the coach being abusive. ...
... Though he doesn't know Rice and pointed out that the video was a small part of thousands of hours of practice, Washington coach Steve Sarkisian used the situation as a reminder to his staff of acceptable parameters in coaching. ...

Wackiest fantasy stat of the week
Michael Fabiano | Tags: Cleveland Browns, Jerome Harrison, Jim Brown, Keith Null, Tom Brady

Keith Null – 10 fantasy points (18-for-27, 173 yds, TD, INT).
Tom Brady – 8 fantasy points (11-for-23, 115 yds, TD, INT).
Oh, and Jerome Harrison broke Jim Brown's Cleveland Browns single-game rushing record.

With sales of current-generation software slowing, software publishers might now have to wait longer -- and go through a tougher transition period -- before seeing sales rebound. That realization is why the publishers' stocks sold off further on Tuesday even after dipping in previous recent sessions, said one portfolio manager, who asked not to be named. "Clearly people are nervous now, as they should be," said the portfolio manager, whose firm is not currently involved in the video-game stocks. Should the soft sales trend continue, Activision could be the company most at risk, said the portfolio manager. Activision has nine new titles out for the PlayStation 2 this holiday season and three for the Xbox 360, meaning that the company was making a bet on strong sales. "People are not buying the PS2 stuff, so they're getting hurt," said the portfolio manager. But Tony Ursillo, a buy-side analyst at Loomis Sayles, believes Activision's problem is not the weak overall software market, but worse-than-expected games. True Crime: New York City has gotten fairly poor reviews, while those for Gun, a new Western-themed title, have been somewhat average. "If they had been better products then this seasonal issue or console transition would matter less," said Ursillo, whose firm has a long position in Activision. The problem of being overexposed to slow sales of new games probably affects EA the most, said Ursillo, since the company has the broadest lineup. In contrast, the best positioned is probably THQ ( THQI), said Ursillo, who has no position in the stock. THQ doesn't yet have a title out for the Xbox 360, and the company's specialties are mainstream and kids games that tend to sell well to late in console cycles.

Along with the AMC series Breaking Bad, which is wrapping up its final season now, and the upcoming movie Frank, which begins filming in Albuquerque on Monday, four more projects are gearing up to begin filming in New Mexico.
According to a recent casting call, the Steven Seagal movie, Force of Execution, will be starting production in New Mexico early this year. Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames also star.

The parade of young athletes who came to Rockwall City Hall in February to protest field conditions at the city's main sports facility were rewarded with a date for a showdown.
Then on May 12, voters crushed their proposed $25 million athletics complex by a 2-1 ratio.
However, the quality-of-life link between kids and sports in the city of 38,000 was brought back last week when the City Council that called the bond election brought the parks issue back to the table.
City staff has been directed, over the next two months, to find efficient ways to improve and possibly add athletic facilities.
"We have got some unmet needs in regards to athletic fields," admitted City Manager Rick Crowley. "What are our options for meeting those needs?"
But not options at $650 per resident, which would have been the cost for the failed athletic complex bond.
"I fully understand that the voters said they did not want to spend $25 million on an athletic complex," council member Bennie Daniels said in reintroducing the issue. "At the same time, I know there's a need for improvements in the athletic facilities and for additional athletic facilities."
Demand grows
Rockwall has experienced rapid growth in the decades since Tuttle Athletic Complex opened. Residents and neighborhoods have gotten younger, on average, as the six fields have aged.
Playing fields are booked. Drainage is a problem, especially near the dugouts, and postponements often can't be rescheduled.
Tuttle is the only city athletic facility with lights, so it gets the most use.
Parking and restroom facilities are limited and, for tournaments, inadequate. And advocates for young athletes say that's just the start.
"The safety issue, I feel, is the main thing," said Denise Smith, a parent and president of the Rockwall Girls Softball Association. "Those outfields have holes an adult's foot could fit into.
"The lip between the dirt and the outfield grass is really bad. One tournament, two girls took bad hops to the mouth."
Smith said the pressure to make things better falls to the league. She says her organization spends thousands on temporary fencing, puts shelves in the restrooms and does its own trash detail on weekends when it hosts events.
"There's no shade at Field 5 or 6 and only one bleacher for each field," she said. "It's just ridiculous that in a town this size with the tax base we have — to say those are adequate facilities, it's just a joke."
Burgeoning team sports
Yet team sports are thriving in Rockwall. The school district has sent three girls basketball teams and two baseball teams to the state tournament since 2005, with Rockwall-Heath winning a state title Saturday.
Select sports have paved much of the path to success because they offer the private training facilities and out-of-town games that are a must for any Rockwall resident wanting extra playing and practice time. Parents pay for the privilege.
"Those unmet needs were documented to the city by parents and groups associated with these types of activities," Crowley said. "But the plan was not something the voters wanted to do."
The defeat of the bond means the self-funding track will continue. But as the city budget season approaches, Smith said, the council isn't alone in retooling its approach to improving Rockwall's playing fields.
"Our quarrel really isn't with the parks department," Smith said. "I think they're doing the best they can with the amount of money they have and staff that's allocated.
"We have to start hitting the City Council members and the city manager. When handing down their budget, they really need to start kicking money over to parks."

Wilson M. Walker, the cashier of the State Bank of Effingham, was born in the village of Shelocta, Indiana county, Pennsylvania, January 31, 1849, a son of Alexander and Martha (Speedy) Walker, both natives of the Keystone state. Alexander Walker was a carpenter and builder, which trade he followed for a period of thirty years. His father was Robert Walker, who also was a native of Pennsylvania. Of the maternal grandfather of our subject we record that his name was Hugh M. Speedy, and that he was of Scotch descent, the family having been transplanted in this country several generations ago.
Wilson M. Walker spent the first eighteen years of his life in his native state and received his education in the district schools. At the age of fifteen he commenced clerking in a general store, an occupation in which he was engaged two years. In 1868 he came west to the state of Kansas, stopping first in the village of Effingham, and soon afterward locating upon a farm a mile and a half southwest of the town. He improved and placed under cultivation one hundred and sixty acres of land, and carried on general farming and stock-raising successfully until 1892, when he left the farm and came to town. Here he engaged in the lumber business, in partnership with Gilbert Campbell, under the firm name of Campbell & Walker, an association which continued until 1897. Mr. Campbell was succeeded by. P. Killey, and the firm became Walker & Killey. With extensive yards and sheds and carrying a large stock of lumber and all kinds of builders' material, they did a large and constantly increasing business, but in the fall of 1899 Mr. Walker sold his interest to Mr. Killey, and became cashier of the State Bank. Mr. Walker has accumulated considerable property, and has various interests. He first served as the vice-president of the State Bank of Effingham for several years, and was then made its cashier. He owns and occupies one of the finest residences in the city.
Mr. Walker has always taken an interest in public affairs. In 1888, while living on his farm, he was elected as a Republican to represent his county in the state legislature, and served through the session of 1889, being a member of several important committees, including that on ways and means. He is prominent in Masonic circles, being a member of both Washington Chapter and Washington Commandery at Atchison.
He was married, in 1875, to Miss Lavina Green, of Atchison county, Kansas, who had come here from her native state, Ohio. She is a daughter of Mark and Lucy J. (Richards) Green. Mr. and Mrs. Walker have two children, a daughter and son, Martha and Mark A., both at home.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Bad news from Europe is in store for Arena Pharmaceuticals ( ARNA) . FDA advisory panels will deal harshly with Delcath Systems ( DCTH) and Aveo Pharmaceuticals ( AVEO). An early approval filing in the cards for Sarepta Therapeutics ( SRPT); and Ziopharm Oncology's ( ZIOP) sarcoma drug emerges as a winner. These are some of the predictions made by investors who submitted entries to TheStreet's latest FDA Drug Approval Contest. I hesitate to call these picks "consensus," but 113 entries are a decent sample size from which to gauge retail investor sentiment. Accuracy can also be hit and miss. The crowd participating in my previous two FDA approval contests was correct collectively 80% and 57% of the time. I crunched the numbers. Here are your predictions: Sarepta Therapeutics: 55% of investors believe FDA will grant permission to seek accelerated approval for eteplirsen. Forty-five percent predict no accelerated approval. There isn't much daylight between those two numbers. I've written previously about Wall Street investors leaning more bearish on the accelerated approval decision; so it doesn't surprise me to see a more bullish stance taken by retail investors, even if just a slight one. Arena Pharmaceuticals: Investors who entered my contest take a dim view of Belviq's approval prospects in Europe. The margin was huge: 76% predict European regulators reject the weight-loss pill while only 24% say it will be approved. Areniacs like to shout "Idiot!" (or worse) at anyone who dares to suggest European regulators will be less than sanguine with Belviq's mediocre efficacy and still-unanswered questions about its long-term safety. Surprise, it's the Areniacs who are in the minority. Titan Pharmaceuticals ( TTNP): Seventy-two percent of respondents predict a recommendation favoring Probuphine's approval by an FDA advisory panel. Twenty-eight percent say the panel will vote against the implantable formulation of buprenorphine. A.P. Pharma ( APPA): FDA approval of APF530: 63%. Rejection: 37%. Biogen Idec ( BIIB): FDA approval of BG-12: 87%. Rejection: 13% United Therapeutics ( UTHR): FDA approval of oral Remodulin: 60%. Rejection: 40%. This is another relatively close call. FDA appeared to come down hard on oral Remodulin when the drug was rejected last year, but then regulators granted United Therapeutics a surprisingly short review period after the drug was resubmitted (without new clinical data.)

When Dylan Navarro was born seven months ago, everything changed for his parents Gerardo "Jerry" Navarro, 35, and Stephanie Downard Navarro, 33.
"He changed our entire perspective on life," said Jerry Navarro, a retired Army master sergeant, who had tossed around the idea of becoming a contractor oversees when he got out of the military in March. "Then he was born and I wanted to switch gears and do something more family-oriented."
Taking stock of what was missing in the area, the Salado-based husband and wife team decided to open a laid-back, family-friendy space in Heights where kids could play and parents could enjoy a "time out."
"There are no ice cream places in Heights, and I am a big coffee drinker, so we decided to open up a place that would serve ice cream, coffee and Hawaiian shaved ice," said Stephanie Downard Navarro, an active duty Civil Affairs officer at Fort Hood. "Other than Starbucks, Heights didn't have any other options."
Dylan's Ice Shack & Cafe opened May 17 and proudly serves 15 flavors of Amy's Ice Cream on a rotating bases, brews Caribou Coffee, serves up a variety of espresso drinks, protein shakes, shaved ice, and "Cool Concoctions," a blend of ice cream and coffee.
'Paleo' ice cream
For those who cannot tolerate dairy-based ice creams, Stephanie Downard Navarro makes her own special "Paleo" ice cream that is sugar-, dairy- and soy-free.
The couple offers a 20 percent discount to teachers on Wednesdays and to military and EMS workers on Thursdays.
Pulling from their military backgrounds, the couple said their experiences serving their country prepared them to open up their own business because they were both well versed in discipline.
"I enjoyed being in the military, but it's nice to have a different change of pace that isn't so structured all the time," Jerry Navarro said.

(PRWEB) March 05, 2014
Online reputation management company Overnight Reputation has announced the immediate availability of their services in the state of Arkansas. The expansion comes amid news that the company has made significant upgrades to both human and technological resources, adding staff while also increasing server capacity.
"Our recent organizational growth has allowed us to make this expansion," said Brandon Hopkins of Overnight Reputation. "We have made great strides in terms of the amount of clients that we will now be able to serve, and the Arkansas market seems to be ripe in the need for our type of services."
The company has long been at the forefront of the reputation management industry. Overnight Reputation has become well known throughout the industry for their ever-changing reputation management campaign techniques, something that the company notes is a major reason for their recent success.
"Adaptability is important for any organization," said Hopkins. "The marketplace is constantly changing, and we must constantly adapt to those changes if we expect to continue to serve our clients well. Our strategies are constantly evolving to ensure effectiveness, and this recent expansion is simply another aspect of our adaptation to a changing marketplace."
Hopkins noted that the firm's research has indicated that there is increasing demand for reputation management across the United States, but the firm decided to target Arkansas in particular due to the belief that Overnight Reputation's strategies will work exceptionally well in the state.
"We try to be as thorough as possible in everything that we do, and expansion is certainly a part of that," said Hopkins. "We targeted the Arkansas market in particular due to the fact that many of our core strategies are very effective in the areas where demand exists."
Hopkins referenced the use of press releases as one particular strategy that has worked well in the state of Arkansas. The company often utilizes press releases to help improve the reputations of their clients through the release of positive and accurate information that is also newsworthy.
"These things are always changing, but we do expect that our strategies will work very well for potential clients living in Arkansas," said Hopkins. "We are truly excited for the expansion."

"The War on Terror Will Be Ever With Us"
That is the title of Eric Posner's essay in Slate reacting to Jeh Johnson's Oxford speech. The first part of the piece roughly tracks some of the points I made last week, but then Eric widens the lens:
But there is a broader mistake in Johnson's speech and the reaction to it. This error lies in seeing our era of lesser civil liberties as stemming from al-Qaida in particular. Al-Qaida was merely the symptom of two larger changes in world affairs. The first is the advance of weapons technology, which has made it easier for foreign terrorist organizations to miniaturize, hide, transport, and use dangerous weapons against civilian targets. And the second is globalization, which has thrust the United States into the affairs of unstable countries with murderous conflicts, putting it in the crosshairs of unhappy groups., These two factors have made it impossible to go back to the era before 9/11.
Ordinary law enforcement methods are not effective against foreign terrorists in the modern era because foreign terrorists can train, recruit, obtain weapons, and hatch their plots in foreign countries with weak governments that cannot fully control their territory, making it impossible for the United States to demand extradition or conduct joint law enforcement operations. This puts the United States to the choice of either waiting for an attack to take place and hoping to thwart it at the last moment, or launching preemptive military operations abroad. In light of the destructiveness of the kinds of modern weapons that could be used against us—including chemical and biological variants—the choice is not very difficult.
After reviewing how the government has organized itself to meet these threats in the last decade, Eric concludes:
The United States may finally land a decisive blow against the core of al-Qaida, and could conceivably even lop off its many hydra heads around the world. But the United States will always be vulnerable to foreign terrorism. The 9/11 attacks merely woke us up to this amorphous threat. To protect the country, the public and the political class acquiesced in expanding presidential power and limiting civil liberties. These changes will remain with us as long as the threat does.


text: Home > Packaging & Hardware > Device Packaging This article was posted on 11/30/2012 Origami electronics!? Leading designers of printed electronics collaborate on printed electronic demonstration give-a-way at Printed Electronics USASanta Clara, CA, USA - November 29, 2012 - On Dec 5-6, attendees to the Printed Electronics USA conference and exhibition in Santa Clara, CA, will receive their own origami printed electronic device. One of the compelling benefits of printed electronics is that electronics can be used in completely new and innovative form factors.The demonstrator consists of printed circuits on traditional paper, which only become functional when the device is correctly folded — the design of the folded paper is part of enabling the functionality of the circuit. The innovative design uses conductive silver ink, printed batteries and traditional LEDs to create an interactive user experience in the form of an origami sail boat. The circuit will illuminate the boat's mast light and logo, and highlights the technology's growing use in the area of interactive packaging and printed media.The image below shows one side of the device.The sample was built in collaboration with a number of partners, including Cal Poly, Blue Spark, NovaCentrix, Fujifilm Dimatix, Sappi Fine Paper, 3M, Esterline, and IDTechEx.All attendees will receive their sample at the Cal Poly booth, part of "Manufacturing Street." In addition, Manufacturing Street brings together organizations in the supply chain that will demonstrate a number of printing and process steps in interactive sessions throughout the event, printing functional inks and demonstrating how the sample was made.The event also features "Demonstration Street," a large area dedicated to showing a full range of complete working products. Visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine samples, prototypes, and commercial products. These demonstrators, which incorporate printed electronic functionality, will help attendees envisage how printed electronics can be integrated into their own products,For more information and to register, see www.PrintedElectronicsUSA.com.About California Polytechnic State University: www.grc.calpoly.eduAbout NovaCentrix: www.novacentrix.comAbout FUJIFILM Dimatix: www.dimatix.comAbout Blue Spark Technologies: www.bluesparktechnologies.comAbout Printed Electronics USA and IDTechEx: www.IDTechEx.com■ Learn more about IDTechEx Related Articles Packaging Materials: Strong Growth Rates for Small Form Factors Make your own VR goggles out of Coca-Cola cardboard packaging Column: Packaging designers are taking the heat This intestinal smart capsule detects gas Add Comment Text Only 2000 character limit Please login to comment on the article

"Sharon Matola was – and remains – the most courageous person I've ever met. The fact that she wields that courage on behalf of the wildlife of Central America – well, that's why we're asking you to consider her nomination" – Bruce Barcott.
Acclaimed Belizean conservationist, director and founder of The Belize Zoo And Tropical Education Center, Sharon Matola, has been recognized for her dedication as Belize's premier wildlife educator. In a recent interview, Matola confessed that she was both honored and stunned to be considered for such a prestigious international award and prize.
According to a public statement, "the work of all the biennial Indianapolis Prize nominees spans the globe, representing a range of species and locales." Matola's efforts here in Belize have been defined by the Jaguar along with the endangered Scarlet Macaws and Tapirs of Central America.
The Indianapolis Prize Committee will convene in March to review the applications in order to select six finalists, who will then be announced in the spring of 2012. With any luck, Sharon, who was nominated by Marsha Johnston, an editor and freelance writer, and supported by Bruce Barcott, author of Last Flight Of The Scarlet Macaw, will be one of those.
The Prize Jury will then determine the winner, who will be announced in mid-2012 and honored at the next Indianapolis Prize Gala. In addition to receiving the $100,000 prize, the recipient is also awarded the Lilly Medal, an original work of art that signifies the winner's contributions to conserving some of the world's most threatened animals.

Landon Donovan has been one of the faces of Major League Soccer for over a decade. That will continue for years to come.
Donovan has agreed to re-sign with the Galaxy and MLS. The L.A. Galaxy and U.S. national team star will sign a new, multi-year contract, which will see him retain his "designated player" status, according to Sports Illustrated.
Donovan's current contract pays him $2.5 million in 2013 and expires at the end of the calendar year. He has received "intriguing" offers from clubs in other countries, but none were compelling enough to take him away from Southern California.
The 31-year-old took a three-month break from soccer earlier this season. He returned to action in March, saying he had rediscovered his passion for the game. His recent performances suggest that he is ready to attack the latter phase of his career with renewed vigor and add to new chapters to his own legend. He is chasing a record sixth MLS Cup title and is four goals away from becoming the league's all-time leading scorer.
The U.S. soccer icon will have plenty of time to face those challenges, and he'll do it in familiar surroundings.
