What they said: Justin RoseSeptember 05, 2012
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: BMW Championship transcripts archive
Q. Probably not quite the press conference you were expecting, but welcome back as defending champion. Some opening comments??
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, obviously whenever you get to come back and defend a tournament it's a great feeling. I think it comes at a good time for start in the Playoffs, so hopefully I can ride some of the good memories that happened to me at this time last year.
Q. Do you feel like the target is on your back, though, people chasing you for this tournament??
JUSTIN ROSE: I mean, not particularly. Obviously guys defend all the time. There's always a defending champion, and I never think about that player. Obviously we all go out and play the golf course, and I think this week more than any other we have to learn this Crooked Stick golf course. Not many guys have played it before, so the real competitor is the golf course.
For me it's just -- as defending champion it's one of the things I enjoy, playing upon the good feelings. You look around, there's posters of yourself out there. There's a particularly nice one with Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Watson and myself, so something I had a bit of fun with this week.
Q. Early observations from some of the golfers is being able to hit the ball long will definitely help this week.
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, absolutely. I think the way is course is set up, the rain, that softened things, and that benefits the long hitter, and there's a few bunkers and a few corners that if you can carry the ball 300 yards, which there's not many guys in the field that can do that, but the few that can will have an advantage. But they have an advantage pretty much every week.
So it's about keeping the ball in play. The rough is pretty thick. You know, you think the greens are so good, as well, that it will suit pretty much anybody who has a good putting week.
Q. Low scores this week??
JUSTIN ROSE: I think low scores for sure. Any time you give us soft greens, which they are obviously due to the weather, I think when you have soft greens certainly the first couple rounds, and the way things go in a tournament, how long, how difficult a golf course, if it's soft, guys tend to go low.

Sri Lankan legend Muralitharan looking forward to BBL challenge
Murali vs Warnie - BBL reignites one of cricket's greatest rivalries
Media Release | July 12, 2012

The world's leading Test wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan signed for the Melbourne Renegades earlier today for the second instalment of the KFC T20 Big Bash League (BBL).
Melbourne Renegades CEO Stuart Coventry hailed the announcement as a major coup for the team and the competition.
"Murali's signing is sensational news for the Melbourne Renegades. Our supporters and cricket lovers all over the world [will] have the opportunity to see one of the game's greats plying his trade at Etihad Stadium during the Australian summer," Coventry said.
"It sets up a mouth-watering Melbourne derby between Murali and the leggie from across the way [Shane Warne] when they reignite one of cricket's great rivalries in the [BBL 2012] season curtain raiser.
"I'd advise all cricket fans to keep Friday 7 December free because it's going to be a huge derby at Etihad Stadium."
Muralitharan was delighted at the prospect of playing for the Renegades.
"I wanted to play one season in Australia and the opportunity from the Melbourne Renegades was there so I took it with both hands," Muralitharan said.
"Last year I watched [the BBL] from New Zealand and it's a good standard of players and a competitive tournament.
"I think it will be interesting to play against [Chris] Gayle because he's one of the best batsmen in T20 and I played with him at the Royal Challengers Bangalore [in the Indian Premier League]. It will be good to play with him or against him."
Muralitharan confirmed the doosra would be on show this summer at Etihad Stadium, which will again feature a specially-prepared drop-in pitch for the competition.
(Video: Muralitharan talks about his recent signing with Melbourne Renegades)
"Sometimes the drop-in pitches can assist the spinners so that might help me," Muralitharan said.
"There's a big Sri Lankan community [in Melbourne] so hopefully they can come and watch."
Muralitharan said he looked forward to lining up against old foe Warne in the Melbourne derbies.
"I think Shane is a great bowler and I've always admired him. I'll try to do well and he'll try to do well for his team," Muralitharan said.
Coach Simon Helmot said Muralitharan brings to the Renegades almost two decades of experience at the highest level of the game.
"It's difficult to say anything about Murali that hasn't already been said," Helmot said.
"Not only is he a prodigious talent with the ball, he also possesses a level of cricketing knowledge and experience that few others in the world can match.
"So even when he's not tying down an end or taking wickets, his presence on the ground and in the dressing room can be enough to give a team that lift they need to succeed."
After retiring from Test match cricket in 2010 with 800 wickets to his name, the Kandy-born Muralitharan wound up his career in the long format 92 scalps ahead of his nearest rival Warne.
Muralitharan's domestic T20 record is just as you'd expect it to be - extraordinary. From 124 matches, his 144 wickets have come at just 20.61 runs apiece. Muralitharan has shone in this format, conceding just 6.36 runs per over and reinforcing his reputation as the master of applying pressure in the middle.
"Muralitharan is a lovable character on and off the field. I'm sure he'll endear himself to our supporters and become a favourite at Etihad Stadium this summer," Helmot said.
Muralitharan will be available for selection in all home-and-away fixtures, in addition to the finals series should the Renegades qualify.

Father's Day Sunday Scan
Role Model Day?
Here's an interesting take on Father's Day from Sweating Through Fog:
I'm getting pretty tired of seeing things that treat being a father as just a "male role model."God bless the Dads who dedicate themselves to doing both, and God bless the kids who have neither. For them, today's not much of a day.
A father is not a male role model. A father is an adult male that a child knows:
a) will take a bullet for them.
b) will work hard for many, many years, doing things he may or may not like, in order to provide a loving, secure home for his wife and children.
c) loves the child enough to consider the well-being of that child the foundation of his worth as a person.
You can be a male role model if you teach a kid how to ride a bike, throw a curve ball, learn a trade or act on a date - all good and wonderful things. Fatherhood is an irrevocable, lifetime commitment to sacrifice - with grace and pride - for the benefit of a child. A child derives great benefit knowing that someone made those sacrifices for them.
Father's Day Read
David Woo, a photographer with the Dallas Daily News gave a reverse Father's Day present to son Jake that merits an entry in the Chronicles of Fathering -- Woo the elder visited Woo the younger at his post on at Forward Operating Base Iskan, south of Baghdad.
Woo the elder's piece is posted at the Dallas Morning News today; here's a poignant excerpt:
For whatever his reasons, God did not keep several thousand of Woo's fellow soldiers safe in Iraq. What a terrible, terrible day today must be for those families and those fathers. Please keep them in your prayers today ... there are no words sufficient to the loss.
As I walked about 100 yards to my room, the only light was moon glow. As I looked up, I had to stop. Before Jake was deployed to Iraq, I told him that I would go outside every night before I went to sleep, look up in the heavens and say a prayer for his safety. This time, my prayer was a little different:
"God, I'm here with my son now. Keep him and his fellow soldiers safe."
(See Woo the elder's photo gallery from the trip here.)
Predators And Reapers
Two of the coolest named weapons in the US arsenal, the Predator and Reaper unmanned aircraft, are flying over the Pakistan/Afghanistan border like never before, in a renewed effort to bring in Osama bin Laden before the end of the Bush presidency. The Times of London reports:
As Mr Bush arrived in Britain today on the final leg of his eight-day farewell tour of Europe, defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. "If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place," said a US intelligence source.I'm not a big supporter of last-minute legacy-building by presidents, so I have to ask why this effort wasn't undertaken sooner? Why the big rush now?
The Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment have been taking part in the US-led operations to capture Bin Laden in the wild frontier region of northern Pakistan. It is the first time they have operated across the Afghan border on a regular basis.
The hunt was "completely sanctioned" by the Pakistani government, according to a UK special forces source. It involves the use of Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles fitted with Hellfire missiles that can be used to take out specific terrorist targets.
One US intelligence source compared the "growing number of clandestine reconnaissance missions" inside Pakistan with those conducted in Laos and Cambodia at the height of the Vietnam war.
I hope they get him -- today wouldn't be soon enough -- but having big stories in major international newspapers about the hunt isn't going to help the effort any.

Kaylee's Koncept: Kaylee Davis
The Problem with Success
I am a strong supporter of the independent, strong Black woman, someone with a career and mind of her own. Black women are attending college and receiving advanced degrees more than ever before, which is amazing and empowering. But with our success, challenges have surfaced.
I am also a strong support of the maternal Black woman, someone who works hard for her family. But with a record high of professional Black women comes a record low of Black women getting married and having families, a terrible catch 22. Should we sacrifice love and family for our careers; should we sacrifice our careers for love and family? Honestly, I do not want to sacrifice. I want to have it all- a career, a husband, and family. But, I am unsure how realistic this is.
The more advanced your degree, as a Black woman, the less and less like you are to get married. The more years you devote to your career, the less time you can devote to having a family. What is an ambitious Black woman to do- drop her career goals in want of a family?
I think not. I am hoping to finish my degree, pursue a successful and, hopefully, lucrative career, get married, and have children. "How?" you might ask. While I cannot be completely sure, I plan to practice the art of balance, balancing my career with my family. Instead of solely pursuing one or the other, I will pursue both.
I expect this will not be an easy compromise. Compromise is hardly ever easy, but it is often doable. I have witnessed multiple Black woman partake in this compromise successfully, so I know it can be done with patience. Despite the dismal numbers, I encourage other Black women, like myself, who want it all, to approach the situation with optimism. While pursuing your career is immensely important, also focus on pursuing family. Have confidence that a balance between the two can be achieved, and if it happens for you, revel in your accomplishment. Do not lose faith in your ability.
Black women who have the tenacity to receive diplomas and degrees also possess the tenacity to nurture and love a family. Give yourself the opportunity to do both; I know I will.

The Skin Youâ??re In â?? Jim Kenyon comes face to face with the threat of skin cancer
Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:13:48 GMT —
According to the American Cancer Society, the risk factors for skin cancer include:
Warchal says people need to take precautions by avoiding exposure to the sun between 10:00am and 2:00pm when the ultra violet rays are most intense. Plus, he says, people should practice SLIP, SLOP, SLAP AND WRAP:
They seemed hardly noticeable, just three reddish blemishes. One showed up on my cheek last summer, followed by another on my chin line and a third on my forehead. I thought they'd just fade away, but they didn't. Sometimes the skin would become scaly, flake off, or develop a sore. So on the advice of my family, I made an appointment with Plastic Surgeon, Doctor Mark Potenza.
After looking at the blemishes, Dr. Potenza said, "My guess is that it's a pre-cancer called actinic keratosis."
For the first time in my life, a doctor used the word "cancer" as a possible diagnosis. Luckily the word was "pre-cancer." To Dr. Potenza, my symptoms were fairly classic for the condition called actinic keratosis, a "patchy area, maybe pink in color, dry, flaky. The most common dry flaky pink growth is actinic keratosis which is considered pre-cancer," he explained.
I also had many of the risk factors associated with skin cancer: fair skin, light hair, and a love for being outdoors, even though I would sunburn easily and often. "It takes 20 years for the negative effects of the sun to show themselves in the skin," Dr. Potenza explained.
In one of the examining rooms was a chart that was not only informative, but alarming. It featured a graph that showed a dramatic increase in the incidence of melanoma from 1950 through 1995. So as a reporter for CNY Central, I decided to document my situation in hopes of raising awareness about the growing threat of skin cancer.
Dr. Potenza says in his practice, he's seen a continued increase in the incidence of skin cancer. "The incidence of pre-cancerous growth and skin cancer is on the rise, clearly and you know this is Syracuse, it's not the sun belt and I see a lot of skin cancer and pre-cancer. I probably remove, my average, almost 100 a month of skin cancers and probably 3 times that of pre-cancers," he said.
His finding was substantiated by Jason Warchal of the American Cancer Society's Syracuse and Rochester chapter. "We're seeing an increase in the amount of melanomas that people are being diagnosed with but we need to better educate here in Central New York," said Warchal.
Actinic keratosis is associated with two types of skin cancer, basal cell and squamous cell. Both are considered common forms of cancer. They rarely spread to other parts of the body.
It's quite different from the most dreaded and deadly form of skin cancer is called melanoma. Melanoma usually shows up as a dark irregular mole and can grow into something grotesque. Melanoma can spread cancer to other parts of your body.
According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma accounts for less than 5 percent of skin cancer cases, but causes the large majority of skin cancer deaths. Last year, 70,230 Americans were expected to be diagnosed with melanoma, while 8,790 would die from the disease. The probability of contracting melanoma over a lifetime is 1 in 36 for men and 1 in 55 for women.
When asked why skin cancer is increasing, Dr. Potenza said, "I think it's awareness. We're diagnosing it more. We're seeing it more. But also sun exposure and potentially the breakdown of the ozone layer which could be protective to the ultra violet radiation that we're receiving." He also says recent research has found a connection to the use of tanning beds.
According to the American Cancer Society, the risk factors for skin cancer include:
-exposure to the sun's ultra violet rays
-moles on your skin
-fair skin
-light hair
-a family history of skin cancer.
Warchal says people need to take precautions by avoiding exposure to the sun between 10:00am and 2:00pm when the ultra violet rays are most intense. Plus, he says, people should practice SLIP, SLOP, SLAP AND WRAP:
-SLIP- slip on a shirt
-SLOP- slop on sunscreen
-SLAP- slap on a hat
-WRAP- wrap on sunglasses
Dr. Potenza says people should carefully monitor moles on their skin. "Most moles are normal moles, but there are some moles that are abnormal, a precursor to melanoma. There's characteristics to a mole that heightens one's concern for melanoma such as size, larger than 6 millimeters is classically what we describe as suspicious for melanoma, irregular borders around the pigmented growth, variable colors maybe a dark brown, lighter brown even a little reddish."
Though I don't appear to be at risk for melanoma, I would still need to undergo minor surgery to rule out basal cell or squamous cell cancer that is associated with actinic keratosis. Most often the biopsy becomes the cure, but Dr. Potenza warned, "If the report came back as skin cancer, yes you'd need another procedure which would typically be a wider incision...deeper with stitches."
I found the procedure to be quick, simple and painless thanks to a local anesthetic. Once the areas were marked off, Dr. Potenza would simply slice off a layer of skin. In about 15 minutes the whole procedure was over. Some anti-biotic ointment and a bandage was placed over the incisions. Three vials containing my skin samples were sent off to a lab.
The following week, Dr. Potenza notified me that the lab results showed there was no cancer present in the skin samples. But I will have to return later this month for a full-body examination and for the rest of my life, I would have to remain vigilant for any signs of skin cancer.
Watch Jim Kenyonâ??s "The Skin You're In" this Wednesday and Thursday on NBC 3 News at 5.

Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise Meet Elizabeth Taylor
Tom Cruise doesn't look like he knows what to do in the midst of two women. They happy couple met Elizabeth Taylor at the BAFTA awards, in which Dame Elizabeth Taylor, made a rare public appearance to accept the Britannia award for artistic excellence in international entertainment. I wish Katie would learn to control that squinty smile.

In the girl's meet, Ohio scored 203, Indiana 154.5 and Michigan 109.5, while the Ohio boy's squad scored 190 to Indiana's 163 and Michigan's 112.
This was the fourth and final year the meet will be held at its original location (Northrop first hosted the event in 1974). The meet is scheduled to be held in Ohio through the next four years.
Winning Star of Stars in the girl's meet was Bellmont High School senior Alexis Harvey (track events) and McComb (Ohio) athlete Becca Leppelmeier (field events).
Harvey won the 200-meter race (24.39 seconds) and placed second in the 100-meter dash (11.99). The Indiana Tech recruit was also a contributor on the record-setting 400-meter relay team that finished in 46.19
Winning Star of Stars in the boy's meet were Pickerington (Ohio) hurdler Desmond Palmer (track) and Salem (Ohio) thrower Anthony Shivers (field events).
Palmer won the 110-meter hurdle race in 14.04 seconds, while streaking to victory in the 300-meter event (36.76).
Shivers won the discus event with a meet record toss of 198-feet-3 inches.
Other top performances included Indiana University recruit Bethany Neeley (Eastern High School), who won the mile race in a record time of 4:42.14. She also ran a leg in the mile relay in a impressive time of 54.9 seconds.
Neeley's twin, Brittany Neeley, won the 800-meter run in a time of 2:08, which was good for the third best time of all-time at the event.
Brittany is also planning on running at Indiana and was part of the victorious relay teams in both the mile and two-mile events.

It's time to meet Dr. David Black, suddenly one of the most powerful men in the world of NASCAR. Black is the toxicologist whose firm, Nashville-based Aegis Sciences Corporation, is in charge of drug testing for NASCAR. Black became a public figure in the world of auto racing after NASCAR suspended Jeremy Mayfield for failing a drug test administered by Aegis in May.
The Tennessean ran a feature on Black in its Sunday paper. But rather than look into questions of impropriety such as those raised by a writer on the Web site 4wide.com, the paper gave the local guy a free pass. Ironically, The Tennessean failed to subject Dr. Black to the rigorous testing for which his firm is known.
You can read Robyn Snall's 4wide.com report here. It contains information about Black, his state senator wife and contracts that Aegis has received from the state. The report also has a link to an opinion piece written by a local politician who pointed out that Aegis had a drug-testing contract with WWE in 2007 when wrestler Chris Benoit was found dead after a murder-suicide. Toxicology reports indicate Benoit had steroids and other drugs in his body at the time of the incident, according to the chief medical investigator at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
This is not to suggest that the Blacks or Aegis did anything wrong. I have no reason to believe anything untoward ever happened. The problem is that The Tennessean quoted one source – an out-of-state professor – to speak to Black's reputation. The newspaper would have done itsself, and possibly Black, Black's wife and Aegis, assuming they have nothing to hide, a greater service by digging deeper and bringing all of the aforementioned subjects to light.
Nashville doctor calls all shots in NASCAR drug testing (The Tennessean)
Too many questions still surround NASCAR's Dr. Black and Jeremy Mayfield (4wide.com)

Section III: VERSION HISTORY
Version 1.0 - I worked on this version for several days, from April
15-17, 2003. I went through the whole game and finished
all the sections, I am not expecting another revision/
release. I hope you guys like my FAQ!
Version 1.2 (FINAL) - I worked on this version for 1 day only, April
18, 2003. Removed a section that deals about my
FAQs. It's pretty useless anyway. Added the
"characters" section, to compensate for the
loss. I also fixed some spelling and grammar
mistakes, and made some revisions to the
walkthrough. This is the FINAL version, no more
Version 1.3 (FINAL) - After a long while, I suddenly realized how bad
and messy this FAQ/Walkthrough looked... I
needed to make an update to improve my work.
fixed the formatting, removed some pretty
useless sections, changed the LEGAL and CONTACT
INFORMATION sections for the better, Fixed the
TABLE OF CONTENTS, fixed the WALKTHROUGH and
TUTORIALS sections a bit. I think the FAQ has
changed for the better.
Version 1.4 (FINAL) - I needed to make an update. I remove the GAME
INFO section and put the Haruka Ending in the
Endings part of the walkthrough. I replaced the
ugly ASCII art with a new, much cleaner looking
one. That's about all, really.
Version 1.5 (FINAL) - Aaaargh! I was forced to make an update again!
Sorry, CJayC... Anyway, this time, I deleted
a duplicate part of the walkthrough which tells
how to get the Haruka ending. I fixed some
typos, done some small things here, there,
here, there. I know there's more room for
improvement, but I lost my motivation recently.
Maybe I'll make an update again when I have the
Section IV: TUTORIALS
IF you are new to Love Hina then read the tutorial below.
Up Button - Lets you scroll up for options. Moves your character up
in the regular screen.
Down Button - Lets you scroll down when choosing options and moves
your character down in the regular screen.
---> Button - Moves your character right in the regular screen.
<--- Button - Moves your character left in the regular screen.
I A I Button - Confirms that you chose a certain option, Talks to a
\---/ a character in the regular screen.
I B I Button - NO USE
I START I - Let's you see the girls' affection ratings.
I L Button I - NO USE
I R Button I - NO USE
Now, you don't see the regular screen that often. This screen is
where your character can move around and interact to the other
characters. The regular screen is free of menus, as the menus only
appear on the sub-screen. (more on that later)
The sub-screen is where most of the action happens. If you are
talking to any character, You are in the sub-screen. Most of the
story is seen here too. Under certain situations, The menus or
options appear in the subscreen. (more on that later)
Game Mechanics
All of these appear in the sub-screen. On certain cases, you will be
asked to choose from some options. These represent your character's
actions, some better than others. These options influence the
storyline a great deal. Choose a good option, and a girl's affection
rate might go up, Your HP might recover, your MAX HP may increase,
and you may get good results. Choose a bad option, and a girl's
affection rate might go down, You might get get hurt and lose some
HP, your max HP may go down, and the game may end sooner than you
think. So think twice when making desicions, BUT!! always remeber
that everytime you are asked to choose an option, a timer is
activated. The timer's speed differs. In one part of the game, The
timer only lasts for 2-3 Seconds! If the time goes up before you have
chosen an option then the last option (phrase of that option) that is
highlighted will be considered as the one that you choose, wether you
like it or not.
At the beginning of the game, You will notice several golden orbs
at the lower right side of the screen. An orb represents one Hit
point. If you get hurt by any means, One or more of the orbs may turn
to black, indicating that you lost some HP. If you lose all your HP
then you lose the game. You can recover your HP each time you take a
rest or take a bath. Recovery rates differ, and you cannot recover
more HP than your max HP. Example. Your Max HP is 5, and the
recovery rate is 6 HP. Even if the recovery rate is 6 HP, you cannot
gain more than 5 HP, because 5 HP is your Max HP. In some
occasions, your MAX HP may increase if you choose the right options.
These represent how much a girl likes you. The affection rate bar
can be found on the left side of the screen, and is activated when
you talk to a girl. The affection rate is in the form of hearts. 1
Affection point is represented as 1 heart, and well, you know the

On Tuesday, March 3, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Negusie v. Holder, argued in November as Negusie v. Mukasey. In this case, the Supreme Court considered whether the "persecutor bar" of the Immigration and Naturalization Act prohibits the granting of asylum to those who were compelled to engage in persecution by threats of death or torture. In a decision delivered by Justice Kennedy, the Court held that the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Fifth Circuit had improperly relied on Federenko as controlling precedent and that the question must be addressed in the first instance by the Board on remand. Morgan Lewis partner Allyson Ho discusses the decision.

LOS ANGELES — A new agreement may end a decades-old battle between Los Angeles and conservationists who say water diversions have damaged picturesque Mono Lake near Yosemite.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/12xtJCy ) says the LA Department of Water and Power board will vote Tuesday on a proposed settlement.
The lake near Yosemite is known for its spiraling, craggy formations. It's also a stopover for millions of migratory birds. But conservationists sued in 1979 because the DWP had tapped Sierra streams that supplied the fragile lake, drastically dropping the water level and increasing salinity.
The city eventually was ordered to reduce the amount of water it diverted.
The new lawsuit settlement calls for construction of a $15 million dam gate to release water at intervals, promoting trout populations and restoring some habitat.

Tracking her progress
The valley's valuable track and field resources are being pumped north through a pipeline that's becoming fully operational from the island to Alaska.
Haleigh Lloyd of Ladysmith previously made the trek and became an instant success in the University of Alaska Anchorage track and field program. Now, Frances Kelsey student Mary-Kate Cross and her friend Lexie Scott of Victoria are heading that way after they graduate.
"My coach John (May) is so close with the Alaska coach up there,'' explained Cross. "I think they keep an eye on a lot of John's kids. I think they really like Vancouver Island.
"My coach has so many athletes up there. So far, there's four of us going up there next year.''
That's especially good news for track and field stars in the region who will follow and may have that same option.
May has always shown a great confidence in Cross and that made the scholarship possible.
Cross also considered two Canadian schools, Trinity Western and the University of Alberta, before deciding Alaska Anchorage was right for her.
"I went on a recruiting session in the beginning of February,'' said Cross.
Due to National Collegiate Athletic Association rules, it was a whirlwind trip made with her family to tour the university and campus and meet with the head coaches and athletic director.
"You're only allowed to be up there 48 hours,'' said Cross.
She was impressed with the massive indoor track and fitness centre at the university.
Athletes are expected to maintain a 3.2 Grade Point Average. That's right up Cross's alley, as she embarks on a four-year Bachelor of Science Physical Education program.
The scholarship will provide plenty of perks for Cross to accomplish her athletic and academic goals.
"Right now, it's tuition and fees and all track things like spikes and our trips are paid for,'' she said.
It could also provide for accommodation depending on performance after the first year.
"At first, I was pretty stressed out,'' said Cross. "I felt really young when I was making the decision. Now, it's exciting.''

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After flying from Miami to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Ivan McCartney Tweeted "Next stop Morgantown" where the receiver planned to meet with WVU football coaches and rejoin the program he left last November.
The former four-star recruit announced Friday night he was returning to WVU for his senior season, a curious turnaround considering McCartney's junior season ended when he quit the team after the eighth game, citing what coach Dana Holgorsen referred to as "personal reasons."
McCartney made 49 catches for 595 yards as a sophomore in 2011, in what seemed to signal breakout ability. But he caught only nine passes for 112 yards last season, unable to get much playing time behind WVU's record-setting tandem of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, and by the development of senior J.D. Woods.
McCartney became the second wide receiver to leave the team during a four-day span last November, joining freshman Travares Copeland, who subsequently transferred to N.C. State.
West Virginia's receiving competition looks to be wide open, with three junior college signees — Kevin White, Ronald Carswell and Mario Alford — expected to contribute, and incoming freshman Shelton Gibson representing the highest-rated player from February's recruiting class. Where McCartney fits in after being away from school for a semester, and what he must do to regain the coaches' confidence, should make for an interesting summer.
By Saturday afternoon, a Twitter follower asked McCartney if he would still wear the No. 5 jersey, to which the receiver replied "idk yet."
I'm sure his High School Coach and Former Mountaineer Linebacker Damon Cogdell spoke to him. I think IMAC is smart enough to see to former HS and WVU Teamates (Geno and Stedman) are in the pros and that WVU is the program to give him the opportunity to make that step.
Glad to see him come back. Loads of potential.
Welcome back, Sticks!
Let he among you critics who is without sin cast the first stone.
big tom
let's hope the personal problems are behind him, and he's ready to compete,,,, he has all the tools, it's the mind set that he must prepare.
competion makes evereyone better or they leave,, he left...
but , i'm ready to see the four stars come to life and light up mountaineer stadium
I have never seen him make one difficult catch. This will go nowhere.
His cousin is Chad Ochocinco. What did you expect? Good advice? Welcome back young man and make your mark on WVU like Tavon and Stedman did. The only person keeping you from doing so is you.
Welcome home sticks, glad you're back
May the best man win the job!!! LETS GOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS
Catch the ball and run with it like you stole it! GO MOUNTAINEERS!
Hes a kid...Kids make mistakes, all he has to do is come in and catch 80 balls for 1200 yards and it will be like he never left. Lets go eers!!!!
Big Johnny
I'm so tired of hearing the excuse "he's a kid" (not just in relation to him but kids all over). Every time kids make mistakes all the adults say is "they're kids" or "kids will be kids". Whenever I made mistakes growing up my parents didn't chalk it up to me being a kid...I was told that I knew better and I proceeded to get my butt whooped. That being said I hope he shows some contrition and wins the trust back of his teammates and catches 80 balls for 1200 yards with 15 TDS. Let's Go Mountaineers!!!
Before you talk about IMAC get your facts straight, he had good reason to do what he done.
Big Johnny
Uhm?...How was I talking about Ivan? All I said was that he made a mistake. He quit the team for personal reasons. My comment was directed at the blanket statement "he's a kid". I'm so tired of hearing that excuse. At some point these "kids" need to put their big boy pants on and accept the fall-out from the choices that they make...regardless of the reason the choices were made.
I don't think he will get number 5 back i've heard afford wants that number.
I like it, we need some Experience
Martinsburg Resident
I hope he has his personal problems resolved & matured as a football player...just give your all & good things will happen. McCartney has too much talent to waste! Let's Go Mountaineers!
he quit on his team. he quit on the fans. why would they or we want him back. 2nd chances need to be earned. if he proves himself-then he deserves another chance. maybe we don't know the whole story..........time to prove yourself Ivan or just keep on going down the road!
Fans like you make me sick... You not knowing the whole story is correct. He had a close family member pass away. He wasn't contributing to the team and his head wasn't in the right place so he took some time off. Have some respect for the kid for re enrolling and continuing his education to do something with his life rather then complaining about him not being what he could have been on the football field... You are probably the same fans leaving early when we are losing but right there screaming about how you bleed gold and blue when we win a BCS game... Go troll for another team I'd rather have 1,000 loyal fans and encouraging our players rather then having douchebags like you filling our stands because we had a few good seasons
I suggest unless you know exactly why then you might just want to hold judgement. Not sure if he is the one but if he is then it was truly a personal reason.
A lot of fans jumped off bandwagon when things got rough but they will jump back on with a good season.
Good luck.

[Editor's Note: Check out today's Wall Street Journal article about the pros and cons of inter-borough dating. The below post originally ran on June 14, but it's not to late to take the survey below and add your thoughts].
Here's the thing about this city: the days of West Side Story might be long-gone, but most New Yorkers still stick to their territories, making inter-borough dating a legitimate issue.
For some, it's a deal-breaker: Leisure time's already sparse — no relationship is worth that much commuting. It's logistically annoying and one simple question comes to carry so much weight: My place or yours?
On the flip-side, dating someone outside your 'hood means experiencing a new part of the city as your own. It's two go-to cafes, two favorite take-out Thai restaurants, two different bodegas — and twice the chance the nearest train is convenient to one of your places.
Tell us: Would you ever date someone "geographically undesirable?" Or does love know no bounds, not even the MTA?

Ventura County prosecutors say they won't see the death penalty in a 17 year old murder case which forensic investigators say they recently solved.
On June 24, 1997, 16 year old Jake Bush was murdered when he, and his mother arrived at their Ventura home while a burglary was in progress.
The crime remained unsolved for years.
In March, State Department of Justice investigators notified Ventura Police they had a hit on fingerprint, and DNA evidence in their criminal data base.
It led to the arrest of Marco Casillas of Port Hueneme.
The now 36 year old man was already in the Ventura County Jail on an unrelated charge at the time of his arrest.
He's entered not guilty to charges he committed a murder with a knife, and special circumstances that the murder was committed during a burglary.

The HP TouchPad Review: webOS on the Big Screenby Anand Lal Shimpi on July 17, 2011 11:11 PM EST
Final Words
Without the performance issues and bugs, the TouchPad would likely be my favorite tablet on the market today. I've been begging for a tablet that lets me be more productive and HP delivered that with the TouchPad. The biggest issue is that if you actually try to use webOS to be more productive and start multitasking on the TouchPad, the experience quickly grinds to a halt. It's frustrating because while iOS and Honeycomb tablets lack the multitasking experience of webOS, they deliver on performance. And while the TouchPad has a better platform, it just doesn't perform as well as either of its chief competitors. You really can't have it all in this business, not yet at least.
From left to right: Galaxy Tab 10.1, TouchPad, iPad 2, PlayBook
The bugs are also quite obvious when you really start using the TouchPad. I wouldn't say that webOS 3.0 feels rushed, but it does need some serious updating. In its current state I don't believe the TouchPad is a good purchase, not until we see how serious HP is about updating the platform to address these issues.
The good news for HP is that it's typically easier to tune for performance than it is to completely redo your OS (assuming the performance issues aren't deep rooted in the way webOS was written). As I mentioned at the start of this article, the fundamentals of webOS are sound and it made a great transition to the big screen. The TouchPad just needs optimization.
The hardware is heavy but otherwise competitive. HP built the TouchPad with a good screen, good speakers and a great way to charge the tablet. The OS could use a visual update but is functionally incredible. The webOS card system is the best way to handle multitasking that I've seen in a mobile device to date. Unified messaging and Synergy are also very well executed features of the OS. Even the TouchPad's virtual keyboard is well executed (save for an imperfect autocorrect system).
I really feel like the TouchPad was built for users who want to do more with tablets. I'm just hoping that HP follows through with an aggressive enough update schedule to actually deliver what those users are looking for.

bigboxes - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkPlease. How many fart apps do you need? :p
Anand, I notice that you mention Wi-Fi connectivity. Can the Touchpad access network drives and/or can it map a network drive? Part of the appeal of a tablet is not just to access the internet, but to access the intranet as well. It is disappointing that there is limitations placed on video formats and file size. Will there be 3rd-party apps (web browser, media player,etc.) that allow better functionality or is this a hardware/OS limitation?
One thing that is missing from this review is HP's support of the homebrew community. I would assume that there will be many programmers out there who will provide free apps and patches that will augment the touchpad. This will allow you to fix a lot of the devices shortcomings. Come to think about it that is one of the most important aspects of this platform: the ability to do what you want with your device. Whereas Apple locks down their device to ensure uniform performance, HP allows us techies the option to tinker wtih our hardware as we see fit. Thanks for the review Anand! Reply
tecknurd - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linkI disagree and you talk like an Apple fan. To my own eyes iPads are restrictive. I can not go to any site with out getting an F grade. iPad are not productive when they can not handle Flash. Unfortunately the Internet still uses Flash.
The problem with any OS is applications. Until developers adventure to other OS, applications will be limited. Linux has the same problems and still have the problems with having good applications. In Linux there are applications for office tasks such as OpenOffice, but I would not use it for a business because it is very limited.
Of course it is not the OS. It is the applications for tablets or for any computer. If I am force to buy an iPad like you say, I would just get a Mac book Air or similar.
I against the iPad and iPhone because I think there is something better from other brands. Actually this is true and Apple wants those brands kicked out. I do not support such a thing. Reply
codedivine - Sunday, July 17, 2011 - linkThe WebOS internals folks have stepped up and released a patch that reduces the amount of logging the OS does. Apparently it seriously improves performance. If the OS is indeed doing a whole bunch of disk IO that it shouldn't be doing, that will explain a lot of the lag issues. Reply
AmdInside - Sunday, July 17, 2011 - link"The application launch time is livable however, it's something you can get used to and hope that HP will improve over time. There are two bigger issues with the TouchPad's performance that are harder to deal with."
I beg to differ. This is the major reason why I sold my iPad 1 to get the ipad 2. When I tested an iPad2 after a friend bought one, I couldn't believe how much faster it launched apps. I could never get used to the launch time of the iPad 1. I am really happy with the iPad2's application launch times. I could not imagine going back to an iPad 1. Reply
cioxx - Sunday, July 17, 2011 - linkHP isn't about building and nurturing consumer ecosystems and neither was Palm with its latest incarnation after WebOS introduction. HP's DNA is basically moving large amounts of units to corporate/conservative customers and getting on to the next model.
The fact that they announced a faster Touchpad after 2 weeks of having released the first one is testament to that schizophrenic behavior.
There is absolutely no guarantees that WebOS will get better or that HP leadership will get their heads out of their ass and behave like a consumer-friendly company.
Just look at their idiotic ads to get an idea what decision-makers at the company consider to be hip or relevant.
The "It's not an iPad" crowd is pretty tiny and I've yet to see a credible tablet on the market which answers the fundamental question - "Why get this instead of an iPad?" Reply

arbarath - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkNice Review..
I personally use Eee Pad transformer, It personally satisfies all my needs. I went n bought a tablet that it should reduce the usage of my Laptop or PC atleast by 40 to 50% and its doing it although it cannot replace entirely.
There are lot of space for performance improvement on honeycomb, but i like it thus far. Regional Fonts are missing in honeycomb, like mine (Tamil) its the biggest thing i miss so far .. I stream movies from my Home Server using smb including all formats, transfer files like you do on desktop or laptop.its great.
HP tablet looks nice and it will be an intersection of iOS and Android. Card feature is really interesting and nice.
Great review. keep it up. thanks. Reply
Omid.M - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkAwesome review, Anand.
Looks like the tablet to beat if HP can issue some updates to address the bugs you pointed out. Have you sent a list of these bugs (scenarios in which they were encountered, so they can be reproduced) to the product manager for the Touch Pad or a media relations person at HP? If not, you really should.
Google +, Google & Amazon music integration, Netflix, and better battery life (and no hiccups) would make this the ultimate tablet. I'd pick one up asap if those were addressed; I'm not sure how swiftly HP would do that, though.
Some errors I spotted in the review:

Impulses - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkExcellent review, it's a shame webOS isn't gaining traction any faster and HP isn't pushing devices out the door any faster... WP7's UI design is interesting, but webOS has features that still make many honest Android and iOS users jealous.
I would've loved to see where that IM conversation about GPUs was going. ;) BTW, I don't know about iOS, but there's like half a dozen Android solutions for synchronizing or connecting your phone to a PC in order to be able to SMS from the PC, and even view the phone's notifications. I don't think there's any Honeycomb solution yet tho, short of Google Voice, which not everyone can use or integrate. Reply

The London Stock Exchange has brought its IT service delivery team back in-house, in recognition of the core role that computer systems now play in its business.
Earlier this month, the LSE reported revenues up 20 percent and operating profits up 55 percent for the year ending 31 March, driven by a surge in high-speed electronic trading.
In a statement issued with the annual results figures, the exchange drew attention to new trading patterns developing with the advent of higher-speed electronic systems.
"We are seeing a permanent shift in the nature of order flow as new, higher velocity electronic (algorithmic/black box) trading strategies are increasingly deployed by hedge funds, intermediaries and specialist technical trading firms," it said.
The LSE is now reshaping its IT function to take account of the central importance of the trading systems to its business, with up to 150 staff transferring back from contractor Accenture. The employees operate and maintain the LSE's trading systems, opening the market systems in the morning and closing them at the end of trading.
The move comes as the exchange prepares to launch its new TradElect platform - the culmination of its four-year new technology roadmap - in mid-June.
An LSE spokesperson said: "Technology basically underpins our competitive advantage, so we're keen to bring the expertise in-house and continue to invest in it. The exchange is basically a technology business these days. Investment in technology and keeping these systems up and running is key."
But the exchange has signed a two-year extension to its software development contract with Accenture, continuing its 15-year relationship with the IT services firm.

Lawyer? Accountant? No, acrobat
Mum, dad, I'm joining a circus." These are perhaps not the words most Jewish parents want to hear when talking to their offspring about career choices. But they would be wrong to object.
So says trapeze artist Adam Cohen. He has been performing for more than a decade, studying the flying trapeze and teaching children acrobatics and circus stunts.
Are his parents keen on his career choice? "'My son the trapeze artist?" he says, "yes, they are very happy. They have never tried to push me into being a doctor or a lawyer." Cohen has performed as part of a double-act and with a troupe, and has appeared on the BBC comedy series Green Wing. But his first step was to do a degree in circus studies. To become a star of the big top these days is not a matter of simply packing a bag and hopping aboard a caravan. Serious study is required.
Israeli Yam Doyev said her parents were originally horrified at the idea of her joining the circus. "They thought I was crazy, that I had lost my mind. They offered to give me money to not go to circus school. But they got used to the idea."
Acrobat Doyev, originally from Tel Aviv, now works in London with her Swedish partner Leo. She uses silks, hoops and straps in her complex and dangerous aerial routines - for part of her act she hangs high above the ground upside down and wearing a blindfold.
"I was studying theatre originally. I was doing street performances and my teacher recommended that I joined a circus group during the summer holiday. I fell in love with the whole idea of being a circus performer," she says.
"I began by doing stilt-walking, fire-walking and juggling. After about three years I wanted to start learning aerial. So I came to study in Bristol around nine years ago and then an acrobatic course in Sheffield and joined the Greentop Circus. I met my aerial partner about four years later."
The challenge is what attracted her to the work. "Straps are very difficult, they are very tight and require a lot of upper body strength. Not many girls are doing it in the UK. I love that challenge, I love being strong. I hate it when people say: 'Women can't do this'. I've only got scared once or twice. You have to be confident in what you do. I know what I am doing."
Doyev now runs a small circus studio in London, in between performing all over Europe.
Many circus artists say their passion for the high wire, the trapeze or even clowning began at a very young age. "My mum would say I was doing acrobatics in the womb," says Cohen.
Doyev agrees: "I always like to be onstage and be physical, I much preferred that to talking. The circus allows me to express myself with my body."
For acrobat and firedancer Tim Lenkiewicz, interest in circus only appeared at university. "I was in Edinburgh studying geology and geography, and they have these big ceremonies re-enacting the old Scottish pagan festivals - big parades performances with fire and different explosions. I saw that and fell in love with the whole idea. I decided I wanted to get involved and I've never looked back.
The variety is what keeps him going. "It's not exactly day-to-day," he laughs. "My degree was very practical and hands-on. I got very excited about the magic of the circus. I did the Brazilian martial art capoeira, and juggling."
Hendon-born Lenkiewicz trained at Circus Space - the Oxbridge of circus schools - and then with the Kiev Circus. He now runs his own production company, Cirquit. "I began performing acrobatics, touring with Glyndbourne opera, at cabarets and events."
He recently performed at the Camden Roundhouse's Circusfest and has performances planned for the National Theatre Watch This Space festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later in the year.
Many circus performers bring their skills to education work and teaching. The Jewish Community Centre's Liat Rosenthal studied circus arts at Circus Space and has a Masters in puppetry. "I came from a very theatrical background, but it was the physical that always influenced me. I prefer performance that is non-verbal - mime has always been an influence. I love that circus is so joyful - it thrills people."
Having previously been a puppeteer in residence at the Battersea Arts Centre, she now has her own Jewish puppet company, and works with all-female acrobatics trio Mimbre. "The acrobatics is about showing how to use your body as a woman, what strength you can achieve and looking at body image," she says. Rosenthal runs workshops for school pupils and free acrobatics workshops for disadvantaged children.
Not everything in the big top is rosy, however. Adam Cohen points out that: "It's hard to make a living as a circus performer". Partly to boost his income he moved into teaching 10 years ago and has recently set up the Airbourne Circus school in Finchley, for chidren and adults.
"I love sharing what I know," he says. "We do acrobatics, stilt-walking and juggling and unicycle. Kids have no fear, they give something a go and are willing to try anything. They never have a 'bad day'."

Former UNC athletes take to Twitter to gain support for lawsuit
Posted January 27, 2015
Updated January 28, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Two former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student-athletes who are suing the school and the NCAA to ensure other student-athletes receive a proper education took to Twitter on Tuesday to garner support for their case.
"We must stand strong so that we can be seen as more than just mere athletes," Rashanda McCants, a former UNC basketball player, wrote in a message posted on the social media website. "We are humans; we have voices; and, although we all love our school, we also love ourselves and the dignity we built within our own right."
McCants added that she did everything that was asked of her, on and off the court.
"But the university and the NCAA failed to keep their promise to me and other college athletes, and in turn, we seek justice," she wrote.
Devon Ramsay, a former UNC football player, shared McCants' sentiments.
McCants and Ramsay filed a 100-page class-action lawsuit last week alleging that the NCAA and its member institutions breached their duties to student-athletes "in spectacular fashion," highlighting the no-show class scandal at UNC-Chapel Hill. The suit seeks educational reforms, including an independent committee in the NCAA to ensure athletes get a proper education, as well as financial compensation for the athletes.
"They are making millions and millions of dollars for all of these colleges, and the question is, what are (the students) entitled to as part of this scholarship agreement?" said Raleigh attorney Bob Orr, who is representing the athletes, after the suit was filed.
Ramsey was kicked off the football team in 2010 for getting improper help from a tutor, but was allowed back on the team after his attorney convinced the NCAA he'd done nothing wrong.
In July, he testified in a U.S. Senate hearing about college athletics.
"I've come to realize that there's a void in college athletics," Ramsey told senators. "The NCAA, as an institution, no longer protects the student-athlete. They're more concerned with signage and profit margins."
Ramsey expanded more on those thoughts on Twitter.
"Unfortunately, these aren't just isolated incidents that occurred at UNC," he wrote. "This is a national problem, one that continually surfaces at some of the most prestigious programs in the country."
Neither UNC nor the NCAA have commented on the lawsuit.

Another troubled company has taken its plastic surgery experiments beyond the cosmetic: this morning Abercrombie & Fitch announced an internal re-structuring that resembles a last-minute attempt to reverse its own failing fortunes.
The company voted to add three new appointees to its board of directors, terminate its "poison pill" shareholders' rights plan and, perhaps most significantly, officially separate the Chairman and CEO roles.
To summarize, perpetual mouth-in-foot victim Mike Jeffries will remain the company's leader in name only; the board has effectively re-asserted control over A&F by limiting the power of both its shareholders and its public face.
Jeffries offered a quote clarifying that he has always supported such "significant corporate governance enhancements" and that the announcements "thrilled" and "excited him", but to everyone else this looks like a way of reassuring investors that the current-and-former CEO will no longer be able to depress earnings by demonstrating his total lack of media training.
Warning to executives at publicly traded companies who like to give contentious interviews: this could be you.

text: I have a pretty specific use in mind. I am a basketball coach (high school) and need a new TV for our locker room. The use of the TV will be to review game film before practice usually. We currently have a TV but it is too small (I don't have measurements but I would guess in the 27 inch range) and the quality is not very good. That TV is probably 7 or 8 years old. The locker room is narrow, probably 18 feet long by 7 feet wide. Obviously I want the biggest screen with the best picture I can get. Some of the gyms we play in are fairly dark, so a pretty bright screen is a plus. Don't really need any extras like good sound or anything like that. Will be playing video from DVD, possibly blueray, and maybe from a computer. So, within the $500 range, what's my possibilities?

The New York Mets reached an agreement with right-handed hitting outfielder Andrew Brown on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to big league spring training. Brown hit .232 with five homers in 46 games for Colorado last season. The Mets outfield is left-handed hitting heavy with Lucas Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Baxter.Brown is a career .321/.414/.612 hitter in the upper minors.
The Mets acquired catcher Travis d'Arnaud, right-hander Noah Syndergaard, catcher John Buck from Toronto last month for reigning NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey but have yet to to address deficiencies in the outfield. Brown figures to provide outfield depth at best for New York, but more likely would start the season in Triple-A Las Vegas. New York continues its search for outfield help and are said to be interested in free -agent Scott Hairston, but his salary demands may be an obstacle in that happening.

I am going to have a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation done at the same time with a board-certified doctor in Mexico. He says he can also do minor Liposuction and inject the fat in the buttocks to give me a more smooth look, he says this is included on all tummy tuck patients if they wish to do so, but I am a little nervous. Is it possible to have the three procedures done, along with the Lipo and Brazilian Butt Lift?
Advice for Multiple Procedures in Mexico?
Doctor Answers 6
Be very cautious
I would be very careful having multiple procedures in Mexico. We just finished filming an episode which will air in July or August about a patient who went there, had a complication,, came back to the Unites States and spent six months trying to find a doctor here who would take care of her. The complications from a botched surgery can be much more difficult and expensive to treat than the initial surgery. You should explore prices in your community - you might be surprised, especiall in thes economy! - the prices may not be that different than you will pay in Mexico. Finally, board certification is not equivalent to saying that you picked a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. If you would like you could speak to the patient who had the horrific experience in Mexico by calling the office and we can arrange it. If you have already made your decision, best of luck!
NO! Your medical care should not be "Out-Sourced"
I am sorry to pick on you "Housewife in San Diego," but your post is very concerning to me. Frankly, I don't think you are being safe.
First, a breast augmentation and a breast lift are 2 separate procedures. Dual-plane breast augmentations take me 90 minutes. Wise-pattern (anchor) mastopexies require another 3-4 hours, depending upon the "droopiness" of the breasts. So, for 2 procedures, you're already going to be under for 5 hours or so.
A tummy tuck would be a 3rd procedure. This takes me about 3 hours.
My math indicates that you're now up to 8 hours. Frankly, that's already pushing it.
I try to avoid operating on a cosmetic patient for longer than 6 hours at a time. If she is young and very healthy, then maybe I'll do 8 hours. If I think that the case is going to last longer than 8 hours, I never do the operation in an out-patient surgery center. I do these ultra-long procedures in a real American hospital with all of the safety precautions. The patient stays overnight for close monitoring by an excellent nursing staff.
OK, but now you want to add Brazilian butt lifting. This is not a 3rd procedure, but actually a 4th. Truthfully, I don't think BBL works. It has never produced long-term success in my hands, and so I don't do this procedure at all anymore.
Nevertheless, if you were to elect to do BBL, then I guess that it would add at least another 90 minutes to the operating room time. So, now you've been in the operating room for at least 9 hours. And that is way too long since I bet that you will not be having your surgery in a hospital.
Sorry. But this plan sounds unsafe.
I take care of 5-10 patients annually, whose aesthetic surgeries were botched during Mexican plastic surgery adventures. To me, the thought of obtaining medical care—especially surgery—outside of the USA is ridiculous. Many plastic surgery procedures come with significant risks. For example, most honest American/European/Asian research studies of breast reductions report 30-40% rates of complications! For tummy tucks, 25-35%! Many of these complications do not manifest themselves for 2-3 weeks.
So, what are you going to do if you have a complication? Drive back to Mexico? Who is going to take care of your complication at 3 am Sunday morning?
Well, in my community, I do. So, yes, I am bitter. I do resent going to the emergency room in the middle of the night to take care of a patient who had bad surgery done by a foreign doctor who had no intention of looking after her.
And, frequently, my hands are tied because I do not know the details of the surgery. Is the patient supplied with information regarding antibiotic usage? Suture type? Implant size and manufacturer? The answer is always, "No." Have the patients and I ever been able to obtain this information from the foreign surgeon? Almost never. Ultimately, my management of the patient's complications is necessarily suboptimal because I do not have the specifics.
I certainly admit that not every physician in the United States is outstanding. In fact, while there are approximately 60,000 American physicians performing cosmetic procedures, only 6,000 of us are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Certainly, we need to clean up our own backyard.
Likewise, I am more than happy to refer patients to any number of outstanding Mexican plastic surgeons. Many of the world's leaders in plastic surgery come from Mexico, particularly Mexico City.
But if you're going to get plastic surgery in Mexico, then do it right. Make sure that the surgeon is truly Board Certified. Which Board? The plastic surgery board or the general surgery board? Is the facility accredited? What's the policy for complications? Who do you call in the middle of the night? And, then plan to stay down there, so that you can follow-up with your own doctor.
In most cases, even some of my Mexican colleagues who are fantastic surgeons are not right for my Californian patients. Follow-up is a crucial part of any surgery. Surgical care does not end when you leave the operating room! Patients need to be nursed through complications. Patients need reassurance; they must have the opportunity to come to see me, any day of the week and any time of day, to make sure that their experiences are "normal." Patients need continued compassion.
And a doctor can't do any of those old-fashioned duties across the border.
Moreover, a doctor needs to see his/her results. How can I make improvements in my technique if I don't get to see my results after complete healing? This might be the biggest flaw of the cross-border surgeons. They don't even know that they are continuing to make mistakes, because they never see their own complications.
Some things just shouldn't be "out-sourced." Medical care is one of them.
Surgery is team work
Healthcare in general and plastic surgery in particular is a team work that requires a good surgeon but also a certified facility, a qualified anesthesiologist,nurse and The safest products!!
This combination is only present in very few places outside of the US. Also,followup will become extremely difficult. Think about it twice!!

Plastic surgery and multiple procedures
While I have several friends jsut over the border from San Diego who are excellent surgeons, I would recommend staying close to home for multiple procedures. First, I think that you may be having too many done at the same time. Second, what if you have a problem? How easy is it going to be for you to see your doctor in Mexico. What if you need to be hospitalized?
Multiple cometic procedures safety
Patient safety first.
Multiple surgical procedures take their toll on the patient and the surgeon. Each surgical procedure takes a certain amount of time to do and excute properly to get the optimal result.
We have the best quality medicine in the world. If you get a complication you will have a hard time finding a surgeon to take over somebody elses liabilities, and will cost you much more. Or end up in an emergency room being taken care of by a non Plastic surgeon to save your life and not consider the cosmetic fial outcome.
Surgery in Mexico
There are some excellent plastic surgeons in Mexico but I still wouldn't recommend going to a different country for cosmetic surgery. The question is not if you can have all the procedures performed simultaneously, or if a doctor there thinks it is safe or not safe to do, or what the cost is. When everything going right, everyone is happy. The question is, what if something goes wrong or not according to plan? Things can go wrong in the best of situations and you need to be prepared. If you are confident that things such as anesthetic problems, infections, prolonged recovery over weeks, deep vein thrombus and pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, as well as healing problems or capsular contracture of the implants can be handling while in Mexico then you might be fine. If not, it isn't worth the risk.
