For being the presumed front-runner of the Republican field, Jeb Bush's failure to launch a consistent message to the media has many taking notice — inside and outside of the party's faithful.
One media guffaw could be excusable, but Bush is creating a consistent pattern of evading, poorly answering, and/or ignoring the media's questions — a pattern that simply cannot be blamed on "gotcha" politics.
Bush seems to have the disease of "moderate-itis," and it seems to be a terminal case — if not addressed quickly.
Is Bush Really a Moderate?
On one hand Bush gets attacked by the liberal press for being a conservative who is faking the moderate routine.conservative press is afraid of allowing a potential darling being cast in too moderate of a light and are focused on trying to beef up his conservative credentials.
Neither side wants him in the "moderate" role, but for very different reasons.
Many liberals don't want a moderate candidate facing their newly embraced populist strategy, while conservatives believe that a moderate is unlikely to clear the primary season — especially with the large field.
Endless bickering would not produce a real answer as to Bush's moderate or conservative credentials; his record has been a mixed bag of politics that is much less clear than Mitt Romney's moderate tenure in Massachusetts politics.
The Republicans are having to address the realities of 2012, and it's unclear as to whether they are actually learning the lessons from their defeat.
Mitt Romney was heralded as a moderate Republican, the only way to beat incumbent-President Barrack Obama's "leftist" agenda. This was an understandable strategy.
What wasn't understandable was nominating a truly moderate candidate in 2012, and then trying to boost his conservative credentials.
So in the rundown of defeat: do the Republicans see the defeat as being caused by putting up a moderate candidate, or do they see this defeat as being one of trying to present the moderate candidate in the most conservative light possible?
The unfortunate reality is that it seems like the party is split on its interpretation, only adding fuel to the burning fires of "moderate-itis" among the lesser conservative candidates.
No Help in the 2016 Primary Calendar for Moderates
The 2012 primary calendar encouraged a "fake left, move right" type strategy, with several huge swing state prizes up for grabs in the first weeks of the primary season (including Florida's early primary on Jan. 31).
The 2016 primary calendar is much different, as it stands today, with the Republicans having to face some of the most conservative battles first.
Most political campaigns are seen as unviable if they can't win at least something during the opening days of the primary season, and come from behind primary victories are especially difficult, if not impossible, to orchestrate.
A primary decided by early less-than-majority pluralities could be inevitable if the Republican field doesn't start trimming down soon, which could have wild unpredictable results, as pluralities are almost impossible to predict.
The Cure for "Moderate-itis"
The media in general is having a heyday with the Republican field, with what would otherwise be considered poor journalism. It seems that the current media strategy is to ask all of the contenders the same set of questions, and then see what kind of political explosion happens by the party faithful's reaction.
In short, the media — both left and right– seems to be arranging political train wrecks for the candidates to fall into, all while waiting with an open mic and rolling camera to film the ensuing carnage.@yee_ivnThe media ... seems to be arranging political train wrecks for the candidates to fall into.
Bush is trying to navigate these waters, while not damaging either his moderate appeal or his conservative credentials, which is in reality causing the very root of his problems.
He's either a moderate or he's not; he's either a conservative or he's not. Either way, he's going to alienate part of the party and/or the swing voters in the general election.
The only cure for "moderate-itis" is picking what kind of candidate he will be — and then sticking to it regardless of the fallout.
The fact that the Republican Party seems split on the causation of the 2012 defeat is going to make this fallout problematic at best, politically lethal at worst.

I-SPFIncremental SPF (I-SPF) recalculates only the routes of the changed nodes rather than all the nodes when the network topology changes. This speeds up the calculation of routes.
PRCPartial Route Calculation (PRC) calculates only the changed routes when the routes on the network change.
Intelligent timerAn Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) intelligent timer can dynamically adjust its value according to the user's configuration and the interval at which an event is triggered such as the route calculation interval, which ensures rapid and stable operation of a network.The OSPF intelligent timer applies the exponential backoff technology so that the value of the timer can reach the millisecond level.
I-SPF (Incremental SPF)
PRC (Partial Route Calculation)
- If the SPT changes, PRC processes the routing information of all leaves on a changed node.
- If the SPT does not change, PRC does not process the routing information on any node.
- If the leaf changes, RPC processes the routing information on the leaf only.
- If the leaf does not change, PRC does not process the routing information on any leaf.
OSPF Intelligent Timer
On a network where routes are repeatedly calculated, the OSPF intelligent timer dynamically adjusts the route calculation according to the user's configuration and the exponential backoff technology. In this manner, the number of route calculation times and the CPU resource consumption are decreased. Routes are calculated after the network topology becomes table.
On an unstable network, if a router generates or receives LSAs due to frequent topology changes, the OSPF intelligent timer can dynamically adjust its value. No LSA is generated or handled within an interval, which prevents invalid LSAs from being generated and advertised on the entire network.

Immigrant Selection and the Returns to Human Capital in New Zealand and Australia
Stillman, S
Velamuri, M
MetadataShow full item record
This paper reports findings from the first part of a larger project examining for the New Zealand-born and Australian-born as well as immigrants the economic dimensions of the decision to reside in Australia or New Zealand. The research examines the relationship between education, work experience and wages in New Zealand and Australia for individuals born in different countries in order to examine the skill transferability for migrants from different countries and backgrounds. In this paper, we use unit record survey data from the 2008 and 2009 New Zealand Income Survey (NZIS) and the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey (HILDA) to examine four aspects of trans-Tasman migration. First, we describe how the observed human capital of the New Zealand-born living in New Zealand compares with that of the Australian-born living in Australia, trans-Tasman migrants and other migrants to both countries. Second, we use regression analysis to estimate the relationship between observed human capital and wages for the above groups, controlling for other factors that are related to individual wages. Third, we extend this analysis to examine whether the relationship between human capital and wages varies for immigrants from different source countries and by where the human capital was acquired. Fourth, we discuss how this information can be used to tell us something about whether particular migrants are positively or negatively selected on unobservable characteristics (eg, ambition).

In the later half of June, 2012, the notion of creating and recording music was completely foreign to Markham, Ontario-bred Mickey Blue. He knew he could hold a tune and had developed a mean reputation in the shower, but never in his wildest dreams did it occur to him that he might be able to manufacture his own brand. That summer, after graduating from the University of Guelph, Blue contacted his childhood friend, Devin Nakao (whom he'd heard produced and recorded music) to make their first song titled "I Got You". There was no looking back.

Look at that.
Could this picture of President (at the time president-elect) Donald Trump and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter be any more ominous?
Like a pair of Bond villains, Trump and Perlmutter met… but honestly, I don't care why. Just look that that great picture. How could they be any more villainous?
Maybe they are plotting against the formation of the Defenders. Maybe the shadowy figure across from them is Sigourney Weaver, who is the "big Bad" in this season's debuting Defenders series.
Either way, Weaver is going to be hard served to match the look of this photo.

I have read good ones like Hunger Games and Divergent.
I loved those but like Wither the first dystopian book I've read, Eve did not live up to my expectation.
Reading Eve had been a struggle. It started out good but gradually I became more and more unenthusiastic about it.
If this was how we are going to be 2032 then I wouldn't want to be alive during that time.
No exaggeration!
Majority of the Earth's population has been wiped out due to a plague that corrupted the Earth.
Young girls like Eve were hidden away in a school solely for girls and was taught to fear men.
These girls were educated so that after they graduate they could move in to the city.
Eve's mind was set in graduating and dreaming of a future outside the school but what she found out just a day before her graduation shocked her.
All the other girls who graduated weren't at the city as all the teachers said they would be after they graduate.
What happened to the other girls?
They became breeders to repopulate the New America
I had major issues with this book.
It wasn't entirely original in my opinion because it reminded me of Wither which I didn't like but after reading Eve and found myself liking that book more than this one.
It's not about the writing because I thought it was written pretty decently.
There are misses on the plague not being discussed further.
You wouldn't have a clue how it started or what went on and why the people died and stuff like that.
I hope it would include a little bit of what caused the plague or what happened to the people affected by the plague just like in Hunger Games wherein it was explained how the HG games started.
Also there's the forced breeding.
I mean seriously?
Why didn't they just made everyone marry early with the person they love and make babies rather than locking the girls all up and produce babies against their will.
How disturbing is that?
Then there's Eve.
She was smart.
I actually liked her a bit. She cares about her friends but since she had no choice she had to leave.
But she was also very naïve (which wasn't her fault) and she got into so many unnecessary situation it wasn't even funny anymore.
She was supposed to be smart right?
And besides she's been taught to fear men right? How can she fall in love so quickly?
One word to describe Eve?
I actually liked Arden more than Eve.
She was rebellious and all but she was tough.
She learned how to swim by herself.
She was a complete contrast to Eve which was a very good touch to this story.
The cover was gorgeous.
It was the one that drawn me to this book in the first place.
(I always wanted to have reddish hair. :D )
The attack of the pretty covers strikes again.
It was like Fury and Carrier of the Mark all over again.
Anyways, I give it a 2.
I am not giving it a one because it wasn't all bad. I think.

BSSN is implemented by the Aleut International Association and the RAM Group of the University of Alaska Anchorage.
In 2005, Victoria Gofman-Wallingford, BSSN Principal Investigator, teamed with the following in developing a successful funding proposal to the National Science Foundation:
- Alaska Native Science Commission (Patricia Cochran and Larry Merculief)
- Resilience and Adaptive Management (RAM) group of the University of Alaska, Anchorage (Lillian Alessa and Andrew Klskey)
- UNEP-GRID Arendal (Joan Eamer)
The Aleut International Association (AIA) is an Alaska Native not-for-profit corporation, 501(c)(3), registered in the State of Alaska, United States of America, in 1998 and located in Anchorage, AK.
AIA was formed by the Aleutian/Pribilof Islands Association, U. S., one of the thirteen regional not-for-profit Alaska Native corporations created as a result of Alaska Native Settlement Claims Act in 1971, and the Association of the Indigenous Peoples of the North of the Aleut District of the Kamchatka Region of the Russian Federation (AIPNADKR).
The organization was formed to address environmental and cultural concerns of the extended Aleut family whose wellbeing has been connected to the rich resources of the Bering Sea for millennia. Russian and American Aleuts are separated by distances, borders and the International Date Line but united by the great Bering Sea and the North Pacific. Today, not only does the Aleut community share the resources of the region but the environmental problems as well. The need to understand global processes, such as transboundary contaminants transport, the impacts of climate change, and the effects of commercial fisheries on the ecosystem of the Bering Sea to name a few, was an impetus in joining in the work of international fora where AIA is actively pursuing collaboration with governments, scientists, and other organizations in developing programs and policies that could improve the well being of the Aleut people and their environment.
The RAM Group is a highly interdisciplinary and multi-cultural effort at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The RAM Group's goals are:
- Collaboration, Innovation and Inspiration
- Transdisciplinary Methodogical Advancement
- Relevance to the Arctic Advancement of Complex Systems and Adaptive Management
- Theories Maximization of Research Efficiency Between Disciplines
- Opportunties for Students and Faculty Collaboration with National and International Teams Products which can be applied by communities, managers, policy-makers and scientists in diverse contexts.
The Alaska Native Science Commission (ANSC) was established in 1994 to bring together research and science in partnership with the Native community. It serves as a clearing house for proposed research, an information base for ongoing and past research and an archive for significant research involving the Native community. ANSC provides information, referral and networking services for researchers seeking active partners in the Native community and communities seeking research partners.

Despite laws in Pa. and N.J. aimed at reducing errors, compliance is spotty, experts say.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that hospitals in PA and NJ are likely not reporting mistakes as required by each state's Department of Health. For several years now, hospitals in Pennsylvania and New Jersey have been required to report medical mistakes and serious complications to state agencies charged with reducing medical errors. But some hospitals aren't fully complying, undermining efforts to improve patient safety, experts say.
In New Jersey, five of the state's 80 hospitals failed to report a single preventable mistake last year, officials said. In Pennsylvania, some facilities didn't report any serious events or even the near misses that might have harmed patients. Twenty-six states require hospitals to report mistakes, and by next year Massachusetts, California and Minnesota will make the reports public.

Image Comics sent me an ebook of this comic to read (thank you). It has been published and you can buy a copy now.
She's missing an arm but that doesn't make her less powerful. She's wanted because she is thought to be a witch. She's not a witch, though. She's worse. When she finds out they brought them to this prison just to harvest them, she's determined to escape.
There's plenty of blood and gore, treachery all around, and no one is safe anywhere. Running doesn't do her much good because there's really no where for her to go. As the story progresses, she finds out more about who she is but she doesn't like it. While her little fox friend is scared of her, she's scared of herself.
I'm not sure where this is going to go but I find it interesting that dead people can be brought back to life and that nothing and no one is what is what it seems. The artwork is fabulous. Comic books aren't simple little illustrations anymore. This one is voluptuous, colorful, and vibrant. The illustrations will keep you reading. There's more than one monster in this story...

Section 1.9.2. The atomic displacement parameters (ADPs)
aGZG Abt. Kristallographie, Goldschmidtstrasse 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany
One notes that in the Gaussian approximation, the mean-square atomic displacements (composed of thermal and static contributions) are fully described by six coefficients βij, which transform on a change of the direct-lattice base (according to ) as
This is the transformation law of a tensor (see Section 220.127.116.11 ); the mean-square atomic displacements are thus tensorial properties of an atom α. As the tensor is contravariant and in general is described in a (non-Cartesian) crystallographic basis system, its indices are written as superscripts. It is convenient for comparison purposes to quote the dimensionless coefficients βij as their dimensioned representations Uij.
In the harmonic approximation, the atomic displacements are fully described by the fully symmetric second-order tensor given in (220.127.116.11). Anharmonicity and disorder, however, cause deviations from a Gaussian distribution of the atomic displacements around the atomic position. In fact, anharmonicity in the thermal motion also provokes a shift of the atomic position as a function of temperature. A generalized description of atomic displacements therefore also involves first-, third-, fourth- and even higher-order displacement terms. These terms are defined by a moment-generating function M(Q) which expresses in terms of an infinite number of moments; for a Gaussian distribution of displacement vectors, all moments of order are identically equal to zero. Thus
The moments of order N may be expressed in terms of cumulants by the identity
Separating the powers of Q and u in (126.96.36.199) and (220.127.116.11), one may obtain expressions involving moments μ and cumulants k explicitly asand the cumulant-generating function K(Q) asThe indices run in three-dimensional space from 1 to 3 and refer to the crystallographic basis system. Moments may be expressed in terms of cumulants (and vice versa); the transformation laws are given in IT B (2001), equation (22.214.171.124 ) and more completely in Kuhs (1988, 1992). The moment- and cumulant-generating functions are two ways of expressing the Fourier transform of the atomic probability density function (p.d.f.). If all terms up to infinity are taken into account, M(Q) and K(Q) are [by virtue of the identity ] identical. For a finite series, however, the cumulants of order N carry implicit information on contributions of order N2, N3 etc. in contrast to the moments. Equations (18.104.22.168) and (18.104.22.168) are useful, as they can be entered directly in a structure-factor equation (see Chapter 1.2 in IT B); however, the moments (and thus the cumulants) may also be calculated directly from the atomic p.d.f. as
The real-space expression of the p.d.f. obtained from a Fourier transform of (188.8.131.52) is called an Edgeworth series expansion. If one assumes that the underlying atomic p.d.f. is close to a Gaussian distribution, one may separate out the Gaussian contributions to the moment-generating function as suggested by Kuznetsov et al. (1960) and formulate a generating function for quasimoments asThese quasimoments are especially useful in crystallographic structure-factor equations, as they just modify the harmonic case. The real-space expression of the p.d.f. obtained from a Fourier transformation of (184.108.40.206) is called a Gram–Charlier series expansion. Discussions of its merits as compared to the Edgeworth series are given in Zucker & Schulz (1982a,b), Kuhs (1983, 1988, 1992) and Scheringer (1985).
By separating the powers of Q and u, one obtains in equations (126.96.36.199), (126.96.36.199) and (126.96.36.199) the higher-order displacement tensors in the form of moments, cumulants or quasimoments, which we shall denote in a general way as ; note that bij is identical to βij. They transform on a change of the direct-lattice base according to
The higher-order displacement tensors are fully symmetric with respect to the interchange of any of their indices; in the nomenclature of Jahn (1949), their tensor symmetry thus is [bN]. The number of independent tensor coefficients depends on the site symmetry of the atom and is tabulated in Sirotin (1960) as well as in Tables 184.108.40.206–188.8.131.52. For triclinic site symmetry, the numbers of independent tensor coefficients are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21 and 28 for the zeroth to sixth order. Symmetry may further reduce the number of independent coefficients, as discussed in Section 1.9.3.
In many least-squares programs for structure refinement, the atomic displacement parameters are used in a dimensionless form [as given in (188.8.131.52) for the harmonic case]. These dimensionless quantities may be transformed according to(no summation) into quantities of units ÅN (or pmN); ai etc. are reciprocal-lattice vectors. Nowadays, the published structural results usually quote Uij for the second-order terms; it would be good practice to publish only dimensioned atomic displacements for the higher-order terms as well.
Anisotropic or higher-order atomic displacement tensors may contain a wealth of information. However, this information content is not always worth publishing in full, either because the physical meaning is not of importance or the significance is only marginal. Quantities of higher significance or better clarity are obtained by an operation known as tensor contraction. Likewise, lower-order terms may be expanded to higher order to impose certain (chemically implied) symmetries on the displacement tensors or to provide initial parameters for least-squares refinements. A contraction is obtained by multiplying the contravariant tensor components (referring to the real-space basis vectors) with the covariant components of the real-space metric tensor gij; for further details on tensor contraction, see Section 18.104.22.168.3 . In the general case of atomic displacement tensors of (even) rank N, one obtains is called the trace of a tensor of rank N and is a scalar invariant; it is given in units of lengthN and provides an easily interpretable quantity: In the case of , a positive sign indicates that the corresponding (real-space) p.d.f. is peaked, a negative sign indicates flatness of the p.d.f. The larger , the stronger the deviation from a Gaussian p.d.f. provoked by the atomic displacements of order N. The frequently quoted isotropic equivalent U value Ueq is also obtained by this contraction process. Noting that Uij may be expressed in terms of bij (= βij) according to (220.127.116.11) and that the trace of the matrix U is given as , one obtainsNote that in all non-orthogonal bases, . In older literature, the isotropic equivalent displacement parameter is often quoted as Beq, which is related to Ueq through the identity . The use of Beq is now discouraged (Trueblood et al., 1996). Higher atomic displacement tensors of odd rank N may be reduced to simple vectors v by the following contraction:where v1 is the 23 trace etc. Nvi is sometimes called a vector invariant, as it can be uniquely assigned to the tensor in question (Pach & Frey, 1964) and its units are lengthN − 1. The vector v is oriented along the line of maximum projected asymmetry for a given atom and vanishes for atoms with positional parameters fixed by symmetry; Johnson (1970) has named a vector closely related to 3v the vector of skew divergence. The calculation of v is useful as it gives the direction of the largest antisymmetric displacements contained in odd-rank higher-order thermal-motion tensors.
Atomic displacement tensors may also be partially contracted or expanded; rules for these operations are found in Kuhs (1992).

Built for a repeat customer, the 1.8 MW solar farm Fischbach project in Niedereschach-Fischbach consists of 9,792 panels. Designed to produce enough power for over 500 households, this project will contribute to the reduction of approximately 1,170 tons of carbon dioxide annually, says the company.
The second project, recently competed, was a 715 kilowatt installation built for Kreissparkasse Rottweil, a local savings bank in Germany. Comprising 3,920 panels, the Energiepark Zimmern will produce enough electrical power for 200 households and will yield an annual reduction of approximately 464 tons of carbon dioxide.
"The successful completion of these two projects, in particular the fact that it took just six weeks from construction commencement to grid connection, confirms Day4 Energy's outstanding project management expertise," noted George Rubin, president of Day4 Energy.
"As we continue to develop and promote both our project management and turn-key manufacturing capabilities, Day4 Energy is establishing itself as a strong partner, and catalyst for the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaics in markets across the world," concluded Mr. Rubin.

Thomas Ward is the youngest brother of Grant Ward and Christian Ward.
Early Childhood Edit
Thomas Ward grew up in an abusive household alongside Grant and Christian Ward. As an older brother, Grant tried to keep people from harming Thomas. However, one day, Grant pushed Thomas down the well, and swore that Christian had made him do it. From that moment on, Grant was incredibly protective of his younger brother, and wanted desperately to be a part of his life.
Later Life Edit
In Season 3, Coulson and his team tracked Thomas down at a bank and abducted him. They then contacted to show him that they had his brother hostage, and that they planned to use him as a bargaining tool. After tracing the call to Grant, they let Thomas go, and established a security perimeter around him.

STRESS vs. ANXIETY
The terms "stress" and "anxiety" are used interchangeably in everyday conversation. This makes me want to rip my hair out.
STRESS is a response to daily pressures. It's normal--even good, at times.
ANXIETY has no identifiable root cause. This is because it is a LEGITIMATE mental disorder. If you say you're "so anxious because of ____" you are using the word anxiety incorrectly. You're stressed. Worried, maybe. Nervous. Overwhelmed. NOT having anxiety. If it were anxiety, you wouldn't know why you're feeling what you're feeling.
STRESS typically goes away when the stressor is taken out of the picture. If it does not completely go away, it is still drastically reduced and that reduction can be attributed to the stressor no longer being an issue.
ANXIETY usually does not go away when things change. Things can be perfectly fine and anxiety can strike-- leaving one paralyzed.
STRESS causes your blood pressure to rise due to the release of adrenaline. It can cause your heart to race and pupils to dilate, preparing to take action.
ANXIETY can be debilitating. Heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, anger, depersonalization, extreme panic, clenched jaws, muscle spasms, lack of oxygen, and the strongest feeling of impending doom imaginable. Obligations because impossible. Simple tasks become increasingly difficult. Talking takes all of one's energy.
STRESS is normal, and everyone experiences it regularly.
ANXIETY is not, and only 1.5% of the US population is believed to have diagnosable anxiety.
So PLEASE. Next time you or someone else uses the word "anxiety" in place of "stress", think about what that is doing. That is belittling a serious mental illness that is not even in the same zipcode as just 'being stressed.'
I'm not saying you have to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder to experience it, because so many go undiagnosed. If you experience symptoms of anxiety for at least 6 months then you should absolutely TALK to someone and consider your options. Anxiety is an awful monster, but you're stronger than it. So am I.

How long will the recovery time be after my breast reconstruction?
The recovery time depends on the type of your breast reconstruction.
Typically, after an implant-based reconstruction with tissue expanders or implants you may go back to your normal, every day activities 2 – 4 weeks after the procedure. Following a breast reconstruction using your back muscle (latissimus dorsi muscle) combined with a tissue expander/implant recovery will take 4 – 6 weeks. After breast reconstruction using skin and fatty tissue from your belly (DIEP flap) your convalescence will take up to 8 weeks. The skin on your abdomen will feel tight in the first weeks and you may have to walk and stand slightly bent over for a while. The skin will stretch over time and you will be able to move without any restrictions. All these times are given as an estimation your personal recovery may be slower or quicker.
What type of postoperative wound care will I need after my breast reconstruction?
If my muscle has to be used for my breast reconstruction do I have to expect functional impairment?
Will I need to replace my implants after 10 years?
The implants that are used nowadays are considered to be medical products and are subject to rigorous quality assurance assessments. There is no expiry date and theoretically it is possible to keep your implants during your entire lifetime.
Your body, however, reacts on the implantation of any foreign body (e
g. a silicone implant) with the formation of a thin capsule of connective tissue similar to a very fine scar. Over time, this capsule may become firm and tight and can lead to increasing pain and distortion of your breast shape. To resolve this problem the capsule has to be removed surgically and the implants are replaced. It is also possible that the implant wears out or will shift in position in which case replacement is usually recommended.
Will OHIP cover the costs of my breast reconstruction?
Yes, OHIP will cover almost all the treatments directly related to your breast reconstruction including implant or tissue reconstruction, balancing, and nipple areolar reconstruction. There are certain procedures that are NOT OHIP-covered benefits, such as liposuction contouring of the flanks, abdomen, lateral bra rolls, and fat transfer or injection for breast augmentation.
Will my reconstructive breast match the other side?
Can I talk to other patients who have had breast reconstruction, or see some sample patient photos?
There are several websites that show before and after photos for patients who have undergone breast reconstruction, such as this website or:
It is important to remember that depending on your specific circumstances different options may apply to you. Willow Breast Cancer Support Canada also has peer support groups (www.willow.org). You may also call your surgeon's office to speak to one of our patient volunteers.
Can my nipples be saved?
In some specific cases, yes they can be saved. Possible circumstances include prophylactic (risk reducing) mastectomies, or mastectomies with small tumors that are far enough away from your nipple-areolar complex. In some patients (e.g. patients with large, sagging breasts), it may be favorable for the cosmetic outcome to remove the nipple together with the redundant skin. Your breast and plastic surgeons can review your specific case.
Will my breasts still feel like my own after reconstruction?
The goal is to reconstruct a breast that looks and feels like your own. However, your breasts will still feel different after your reconstruction, including sensation, shape and firmness. This varies a lot from patient to patient, and can change over time.
What happens with future screening for breast cancer?
There is no evidence that breast reconstruction increases the risk of breast cancer recurrence or will delay detection of breast cancer recurrence. If you have had bilateral mastectomies, then a major benefit is that you will no longer require any more routine screening or surveillance. If you have had a mastectomy on only one side, then you continue to be screened using mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI on your other breast If you have had a lumpectomy, regular screening mammograms continues, with a new baseline mammogram ordered approximately 6 months after your reconstruction.

For those of you who know the history of the Pixies, you may have looked at the title of this post and thought I was talking about Paz Lenchantin, the current bassist and vocalist for the band. Or you may think I was talking about Kim Shattuck, the bassist and vocalist before her. Neither of them is Kim Deal, the woman who originally held that role. And there are a good many purists out there that think that "there is no Pixies without Kim Deal." That's a perfectly valid point, but one I don't subscribe to. No, I'm talking about myself. I am the imposter. Or so my brain tells me over and over again.
The dictionary defines an imposter as "a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain." It doesn't explicitly state nefarious intent in the definition, and I would agree with that. An imposter usually works for some sort of personal gain, but not necessarily to harm others. I don't think I'm intentionally an imposter, I don't try to defraud people on purpose. I have what is known as "imposter syndrome."
This is not something I talk about that often. The horrible truth is that living with imposter syndrome is a recursive argument. Here's the summation from Wikipedia:
Impostor syndrome is a concept describing individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud." Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they really are.
The funny thing is, I don't believe I'm talented enough to genuinely have imposter syndrome. I have imposter syndrome about imposter syndrome. That's next level imposter bullshit.
I don't know how this developed. Perhaps it's just an evolution of the low self-esteem I suffered through as a child. I can't trace the origins of that beyond being bullied quite a bit in grammar school and middle school. The only reason I was not explicitly bullied in high school is because I learned to "keep my head down" and avoid putting myself out there. That wasn't a great tactic, but it worked well enough that I no longer got taunted or called names. I still felt left out and unhappy, but I took much less direct flak. I maintain that it still happened, just not to my face, though there is no evidence to support or refute this. It's just what makes sense in my mental narrative.
Alternatively, it may be the result of higher expectations. I'm an only child, and while my parents did their best to not spoil me, there was still a decent amount of praise lauded on me as a kid by them. I can't fault them for being proud of me, or doing their best to encourage me as often as they could. Maybe all of that positive reinforcement led to higher than reasonable expectations of myself that I'm attempting to fulfill.
In talking about it now, I think it might have been the confluence of the two that created this. On the one hand, I have kids telling me that the reason I was adopted is because "my parents didn't love me and wanted to get rid of me." Kids are savage. On the other side, I have a teacher telling my parents in a parent/teacher conference that if I "don't do something great then it will be a loss for the world." That's a bunch of pressure to lay at the feet of a seventh grader. Perhaps it was how diametrically opposed those two ideas were, and the fact that I have never known which one was true. I suppose they are both opinions of a sort, which are never actually true. But, as someone who also has opinions, I have to believe there is a sliver of truth in there somewhere, on both counts even.
Whatever the reasons are behind it, the fact of the matter is that it is there. The result is a little chaotic. I have a bipolar ego. In the same day, I feel extremely good and confident in my abilities. And then I feel like a sham, and that my abilities are a lie that I've been able to sell. This usually happens when I make small mistakes after big successes. This happened just this week. I was able to remotely configure a switch and a firewall very quickly and efficiently, getting the remote office up and running within minutes of the changeover. I felt it was an impressive feat. I felt it justified my opinion that I actually am really good at my job, that I deserve my success, and that I can be exactly the engineer I think I am. But the phones didn't work at the remote office after the changeover. It took us a couple of hours to figure out, and it came down to a small detail I had missed a week before. And I was crushed. No one said anything about it, which made it a little worse. My head likes to fill silence with judgement, so I assume that saying nothing is the same as quietly critiquing me in a disappointing light. It was a simple mistake, but something I would have thought I would catch, but it did get missed and it did require two hours of troubleshooting and multiple calls and emails between multiple people. The only thing hurt was my ego, but it's like a hemophiliac. Once it is wounded, it could be deadly. I went from "hey, I'm as good as I think I am" to "I'm a failure and a fraud" in the span of an afternoon.
My imposter syndrome comes and goes. Some days I've got it under control, some days it spirals out of control and then so do I. The worst it has ever been was last summer. There's nothing like looking for a job to feed that particular demon. Every rejection was a blow, to be sure. But a lot of those could be rationalized. There were some jobs I didn't get because I didn't have the exact right set of skills. There was no criticism of my reported skills, there was just something I didn't have. I can understand that. If you're looking for something blue, something green isn't going to cut it, though it's close. The tough ones were the applications that never went anywhere. Flat out rejections before an interview were frustrating, but a lot of them provided feedback. The ones that didn't were kidney shots and body blows. Was I revealed as the fake that I am? Did they see through the carefully crafted resume to the lackluster person I was? The worst were the hundreds (yes hundreds) of applications that got no response at all. Again, you give me silence, my mind instantly assumes it's because you've discovered that I'm not worth your time.
I wish that this was exclusively tied to my job, but the truth is that it extends farther than that. I feel this way about friends, too. I live in constant fear that they'll discover that I'm not funny or clever or a good friend, that I'm actually a shitbag that they shouldn't associate with. The overwhelming feeling that I do not deserve to be associated with such fine people, or the basic idea that so-and-so is "too cool" for me is something I can't seem to shake. It has even infected my relationships over the years. The idea that the person I am with will one day wake up and say "why am I wasting my time on this, I could do so much better." This would be easier to brush away if it hadn't happened in at least one relationship I had (thanks for that Meghan). I still have that feeling, even after close to twenty years with Heather. I've been more successful pushing the notion away with this relationship, mostly thanks to time but also thanks to her constant affirmation, but it just never completely dies.
Imposter syndrome is not fun. It feeds and is fed by the other ailments in my mind, and they create a horrifying symbiosis that makes any one of them difficult to defeat on their own. But I've tried. I refuse to let this beat me, just like I've refused to allow any of its friends to stop me. I don't know what the final solution will be, and as someone who enjoys solving problems, that is frustrating. But fighting is still the best option, and I shall continue to do so.
Mr. Tooduloo

2017 Prime Minister's Future Scientist Winner
Jonathan Chan, a 17-year-old student from Auckland Grammar School has taken out the $50,000 Prime Minister's Future Science Prize for 2017.
If you have ever seen water drops sitting on a spider's web, you will get the project Jonathan was awarded the prize for. With the help of his teachers and mentors from the University of Auckland's School of Chemistry, Jonathan developed a 3D-printed mesh that can collect water from fog. The goal was to develop a system to harvest good quality drinking water for use in some developing nations.
The secret lay in Jonathan developing a suitable mesh coating of polystyrene, and refining the concentration of the chemicals so the pores of the mesh did not clog up. The work involved long hours, serious calculations and even using an electron microscope as well as the designing and use of the 3-D printer to produce the mesh.
The judges believe the process is capable of potentially being scaled up and could become a commercially viable process.
PM's Awards not Jonathan's first rodeo
It's not Jonathan's first success in science. Last year he was part of a New Zealand team that was fifth in the International Young Physicists' Tournament in Singapore, and he had previously won the NIWA Premier Platinum Award and the University of Auckland Physics Department Award for Excellence at Auckland's Science and Technology Fair for another research project.
Jonathan plans to use his $50,000 prize for his tertiary studies.

CityVerve virtual museum
Here at OS Labs, we're presenting project work most days – by slide deck, report or a quick chat. But sometimes it needs to attract attention and create a buzz… like our virtual museum for CityVerve. We created a 3D interactive exhibition to mark the conclusion of CityVerve, the Manchester-based UK Internet of Things demonstrator project. Find out more…
A virtual escape into mapping
Over the past months, the OS Labs team has been busy developing a GIS based educational game experience using the Oculus Rift virtual reality system. The project is one element in a wider project that is exploring how both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can be used to present geospatial data in new and stimulating ways. Read on for a little background on the project…
Virtual reality, as a concept, has existed for many years. The first functional VR headset was built in the sixties, yet long before that, science fiction authors had already been daring to imagine such worlds. The early 90s saw consumer-orientated VR products being developed, marketed and, in some cases, actually released for sale. However, that technology couldn't meet people's expectations, leaving many disillusioned. More recent advancements in technology have put it back on the agenda. There is already a broad range of VR kit available for purchase, with more lined up for release in 2018. So, how might this relate to Ordnance Survey? With a sense of 'place' being a key component in VR, it seems that there is some common ground to explore.
Talking augmented reality at the GeoTech meetup
At our recent GeoTech Meetup at the Geovation Hub the hot topic of conversation was augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and how mashing these with geospatial data unlocks the potential for some pretty exciting innovations in the near future.
OS Labs engineer, Layla Gordon, led the event at the Hub, and here she explains some of her adventures with AR…
Our first foray into the virtual spaces goes back to May 2015 where OS was the platinum sponsor of an event called Digital Shoreditch in London. The venue is a Victorian basement with lots of corridors and rooms and in previous years visitors had trouble navigating within the building and finding the exhibitions they wanted to see.
Talking virtual reality with David Haynes
Last year we released a virtual Ben Nevis to explore on Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard. David Haynes was one our developers working on the project and shares his views on VR.
What expectations do you have for VR in the near future?
2016 is going to see two big consumer releases on desktop in the Rift and the HTC Vive. Google have announced a new generation of Cardboard, and Samsung will likely release an updated GearVR later in the year to take full advantage of the upgraded hardware in their new S7 range phones (due to be released later this month).
Currently I see desktop and mobile VR as two overlapping but somewhat distinct markets:
Where could virtual reality take you?
Last week we released a virtual Ben Nevis to explore on Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard. Our development team created versions in Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard. David Haynes was one of the two developers in our OS Labs team who worked on the virtual reality Ben Nevis. We caught up with him to find out more about virtual reality and where it could be taking us…
David – where do you think VR is heading short, medium and long term?
Short – gaming, architectural visualisation, immersive experiences (cinema, tours, etc).
Medium – shared collaboration environments. Possible remote work for dangerous/high risk environments.
Long – pervasive, everyone will own a mobile headset. Many will work 100% in VR from anywhere.
OS maps become virtual reality
Not content with turning OS data into a Minecraft world, our OS Labs team have now created a virtual Ben Nevis to explore on Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard. In Oculus Rift, our developers have created a game where players race against the clock to find a hidden trig pillar. For those of us without access to Oculus Rift, our dev team have built a virtual reality tour of Ben Nevis. You can try it out on iOS and Android along with Google Cardboard to experience the virtual reality 3D affect.

SMALL GROUP II - Part of the Jean Morlet Chair held by François Lalonde and Andrei Teleman
Stein Manifolds, Contact Structures and Knots
Dates: 28 Sept - 01 Oct 2015 at CIRM (Marseille, France)
Stein Manifolds, Contact Structures and Knots
Dates: 28 Sept - 01 Oct 2015 at CIRM (Marseille, France)
In the last two decades, several spectacular results obtained, among others, by Donaldson, Eliashberg, Floer, Giroux, Gromov, Kronheimer-Mrowka, Ozsváth-Szabó, Taubes and Witten generated impressive developments in low-dimensional symplectic, contact and geometric topology. Such developments interacted with each other in extremely unexpected and fruitful ways, as for instance in Kronheimer-Mrowka's proof of the "Property P" conjecture on knots in S3: this result uses essentially Eliashberg's results about concave symplectic fillings of contact structures, but also instanton Floer homology and Witten's conjecture concerning the relation between Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants.
General description
The format of this small workshop will consist of three main lecture series (of 4 one-hour lectures each), complemented by a small number of talks by young scientists. The target audience of each of the 3 lecture series will be graduate students and postdocs working in areas close to the topics chosen by the speakers.
Lecture series
One of the underlying themes of the developments alluded to above consists of various kinds of homology theories obtained as infinite-dimensional analogues of Morse homology, constructed using pseudo-holomorphic curves or solutions of various kinds of PDE's on smooth manifolds. One of the homology theories with the largest number of applications to low-dimensional geometry and topology is Ozsváth-Szabó's Heegaard Floer homology. In this workshop, Matt Heddenwill give a series of lectures describing some of those applications.
Until very recently, all the applications of Heegaard Floer homology have been in dimensions three or four. One of the latest very interesting developments is the announcement by Vincent Colin of an extension of Heegaard Floer homology as a homology theory for contact manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. Vincent will give a series of lectures on this exciting new work.
Last but not least, one of the fundamental open problems in contact topology, i.e. the existence question for contact structures in arbitrary dimensions has just been solved by Borman, Murphy and Eliashberg. Emmy Murphy will give a series of lectures on and around this amazing result.
Abstracts of the lecture series:
1. Matthew Hedden (Michigan State University, USA)
Abstract: I plan to lecture about applications of Heegaard Floer theory to contact and Stein manifolds and their embedded knots and surfaces.
2. Vincent Colin (Université de Nantes, France)
Abstract: We extend Heegaard Floer homology to contact manifolds of arbitrary dimension using open book decompositions and the theory of Weinstein domains. As an application, Symplectic Khovanov homology of a link L can be reformulated as the Heegaard Floer homology of an ad-hoc 5-dimensional contact manifold associated to L.
3. Emmy Murphy (MIT, USA)
Abstract: I plan to speak about my work with Strom Borman and Yasha Eliashberg on the existence of contact structures and overtwistedness in high dimensions.
Titles and abstracts of the talks will be posted here as they become available.
Application for board and lodging and for travel support
The workshop will host a limited number of graduate students and recent post-docs, providing board and lodging. Limited funds to cover some travel costs are also available, although the organizers encourage prospective participants to look for alternative sources in order to cover travel expenses. If you are either a graduate student or a recent post-doc interested in this workshop, please apply for board and lodging -- specifying whether you need travel support -- by sending an e-mail to the organizers using the address: email@example.com. Please include:
The application deadline is May 31, 2015. Late applications will be considered depending on the availability of space and financial resources.

As it is with children, so it is with conservatives and deficits. People who are very good at making them aren't necessarily all that skilled in dealing with them.
And we know, during the previous decade, conservatives proved themselves quite adept at creating a deficit from a surplus.
But that doesn't stop them from trying, and it doesn't stop people — even those who should know better — from listening to their advice. Even the president is not immune. Whether you think the president's proposed three-year freeze non-military discretional spending is a good idea, a bad idea, or essentially meaningless — a hatchet or a scalpel — it signals a certain degree of that the rhetoric of the deficit hysterics has been effective, both in pinning the blame for the deficit on the current president, and diverting discussion from long-term deficit solutions.
Despite what conservatives would have you believe, the current economic downturn began before Barack Obama was elected president, just as the deregulation that led to the downturn and the deficit — which is actually a symptom of the downturn, and not its cause — were well underway by July 27, 2004, 11:09 PM, the world a relatively unknown legislator from Illinois introduced himself to the world.
Even a cursory glance at the facts makes it clear, the deficit that has conservatives so alarmed was created on their watch.
Uh-Oh! Conservatives turned a budget surplus we had then into the deficit we have now. It's true. Even the Wall Street Journal had to acknowledge that the perhaps the biggest legacy of the Bush years is the huge deficit.
In other words, the deficit didn't just happen, and it didn't have to happen. It was the predicted outcome of conservative policy decisions.
- Bush and congressional conservatives came into office with a $236 billion surplus projected to last years into the future. They turned it into a $412 billion deficit, in just four years.
- Bush used the existing surplus (and the $5.6 trillion surplus projected over the next ten years) as justification for huge tax cuts for the wealthy.
- Even as the costs of the was in Iraq and Afghanistan spiraled skyward, Bush refused to pay the costs of waging two wars with tax increases or other budgetary offsets.
- As a result, the government ran a deficit, and paid for some of its biggest expenditures with borrowed money.
- Ever "reality-based," in 2007 the Bush administration predicted a $61 billion surplus by 2012, but presented a 2008 budget that added $251 billion to the deficit.
But a cursory glance clearly won't do, with deficit fever rising to the the level of of a "National Security Threat," (according to the Wall Street Journal).
Conservatives seem to take a "Do as we say, not as we do" approach to deficits. With so much riding on how we respond to this crisis, and how much we invest in long-term economic security and stability for all of us, it's worth taking a deeper look at what conservatives has done to create the deficit that is now, suddenly, their biggest concern.


text: I don't have the website info yet but here's a screen shot that explains it pretty good: We have SFH [single family homes] that have just been rehabbed. We have buyers for them ready with a down payment. We are working with a nonprofit church organization to help the buyers get their credit score up to where they will qualify for a FHA loan in 9-14 months. We take care of EVERYTHING. YOU are the bank. The whole thing is handled as if a bank was loaning the funds - attorneys, escrow accounts, you're listed as the mortgage holder & owner. This works! No tenants, no rehab, no small monthly income & long terms to wait [even though they are great as well]. And finally for the pessimists in the crowd - at worse case, the deal falls through - we simply put another buyer in place and start over. Or, you own a home that will easily cash flow until another buyer if put in place! Typical SFH deal - $50,000 investment, $20,000 net profit in 6-12 months typical. 10 house deal - $410,000 investment, $265,000 net profit in 6-12 months typical! **Since the profit on these is nonexistent for us, there is a 2% buyer's fee charged. Please send me a request for the full length informative power point that explains everything in more detail. Currently, we have 50 properties with buyers in the Greater Indianapolis area that are ready to close - we just need your involvement. Plus, another 100+ properties in the Mid-West ready to go.
