The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery: Past, Present and Future
1887-1905: The New York Medical Record published an article on rhinoplasty - a procedure in which the structure of the nose is changed. Dermabrasion, a procedure used to improve scarred facial skin or smooth facial wrinkles, is first described.
1963: Dr. Richard Webster, the "father of cosmetic surgery" attends a meeting of three separate nasal societies. He writes: "For the first time, I met man after man who honestly, without any shame at all, evinced a paramount interest in...cosmetic surgery."
1969: The American Association of Cosmetic Surgeons is incorporated by a study group that traveled from city to city to learn each others' rhinoplasty and facial plastic techniques. Members are "from all disciplines and plastic surgeons deeply interested in cosmetic surgery." They soon hold their first educational meeting. Liposuction is first observed and documented. The Liposuction Society is formed.
1979: The American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is incorporated by Dr. Richard Aronsohn (an otolaryngologist) and Dr. Robert Franklin (a plastic surgeon). A fellowship program is developed in conjunction with The Graduate Hospital of Philadelphia. The first board exams are administered two years later. The ABAPS is later replaced by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.
1982: The American Society of Cosmetic Surgery is incorporated by specialists who focus on cosmetic procedures pertaining to the body.
1985: The American Association of Cosmetic Surgeons, the American Society of Cosmetic Surgeons and the Liposuction Society combine to create the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Richard Webster is named President. His ideal of cosmetic surgeons from many specialties teaching (and learning from) each other remains a hallmark of the AACS to this day. The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery is soon revived after a brief hiatus from its founding in 1984. By 1986, the AACS has 1,200 members.
1992: Jean and Alastair Carruthers describe the use of Botox for the treatment of facial aging and wrinkles. This was an interdisciplinary collaboration between not just a dermatologist and an ophthalmologist - but husband and wife.
1998-9: AACS collaborates on a report on liposuction surgery with Arthur Anderson Consulting.
2000: The American Medical Association awards AACS a seat in the House of Delegates. Dr. Tony Geroulis served as the first delegate while Dr. Robert Jackson served as alternate delegate. AACS soon earned a seat on the Section Council for Plastic, Reconstructive and Maxillofacial Surgery.
2000: The Cosmetic Surgery Foundation is formed as the research and education arm of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. As a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation is committed to the advancement of the science of cosmetic surgery and the enhancement of patient safety and trust. The Foundation funds educational programming and cutting-edge research.
2002: Cosmetic surgery is designated as an official specialty of the American Medical Association. Collaboration with Medical Protective begins with the purpose of educating underwriters about cosmetic surgery outcomes.
2004: The 20th AACS Annual Scientific Meeting is held in Hollywood, Florida.
2006: Medical Protective creates an ISO code for cosmetic surgery.
2007-8: AACS commissions a Young Surgeons Task Force to reach out to medical residents. The AACS Hospital open in Dubai. This event was held in conjunction with the World Congress on Liposuction Surgery and Advances in Cosmetic Surgery.
2008-9: AACS adds a membership category for Allied Health professionals to recognize the expanding role of nurses and technicians in cosmetic surgery. Efforts to grow the AACS international presence make inroads in France, Mexico and Japan. The AACS quarterly member magazine Surge launched with a dedicated focus on topics impacting the practice of cosmetic surgery.
2017: AACS holds it's 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held in San Diego, California, Feb 9-11.

It's no secret that the Facebook ios app eats up a lot of battery life on iOS and we've mentioned plenty of times that iOS and Android users alike should just use the mobile site. If you've ever wondered just how much battery life you'll save by doing so, The Guardian ran some tests.
The Guardian's tests were simplistic, but the results are consistent with what we've heard plenty of times before: Facebook destroys your battery. Here's how the Guardian broke it down:
Using an iPhone 6S Plus for a week without the main Facebook app installed, I recorded the battery life at 10.30pm each day for a week comparing it to a daily average taken from a week with the app. I charged the phone overnight, taking it off the charger at 7.30am, and used it normally. I accessed Facebook for the same amount of time, and for the same purposes, using the social network's excellent mobile site within Safari, as I had done using the app. I also left the Facebook Messenger app installed.
On average I had 15% more battery left by 10.30pm each day. I had also saved space, because at the point I had deleted the Facebook app it had consumed around 500MB in total combining the 111MB of the app itself and its cache on the iPhone.
While we've pretty much always known this, it's nice to see some numbers put attached to it. Delete the Facebook app, your phone will be much happier for it.
Uninstalling Facebook app saves up to 15% of iPhone battery life | The Guardian
Android users:
- Open the Play Store app and search for Facebook. Click the Uninstall button on its main page. (If it came pre-installed and you can't get rid of it, go to Settings > Accounts and just remove your Facebook account. It'll serve the same purpose).
- Open your browser of choice and head to facebook.com. Log in, then press the Menu button and save Facebook's home page to your bookmarks.
- Head to your home screen and long-press on an empty space. Choose Shortcuts from the menu, select Bookmark, and choose the Facebook bookmark you just created. Now you have a Facebook shortcut on your home screen that takes you to a faster, permission-free, more battery-friendly Facebook.
iPhone users:
- Press and hold on the Facebook app and click the "X" to uninstall it.
- Open Safari, head to facebook.com, and log in.
- Click the "Share" button in Safari's bottom bar and choose "Add to Home Screen." Name it whatever you want, then tap "Add." Now you have a Facebook shortcut on your home screen that takes you to a faster, more battery-friendly Facebook.
iPhone users won't notice as big of a change as Android users do, but it's worth a shot if your Facebook app seems slow.
If you absolutely need notifications, ITworld recommends turning on email notifications instead, which should help a bit with the battery problems on Android. How sucky Facebook's app is depends on your phone (the mobile site is noticeably faster on my Galaxy Nexus), so if you find that Facebook's app is satisfactory, then obviously you have no need for this tip. But if you can't stand to use the official Facebook app one second longer, you'd be surprised how good the mobile site is. Apart from a few gestures and animations, you'll barely notice a difference.

Psychopath jail plan slammed
Proposals that could see people with severe personality disorders jailed before they commit crimes have been heavily criticised by an alliance of organisations.
The government plans were triggered by several high profile attacks, including the murders of Lin and Megan Russell, carried out by people with histories of psychiatric problems.
But 26 groups, including mental health charity Mind, the Law Society, the Royal College of Nursing and the National Association of Prison Officers, have voiced their opposition to the proposal ahead of the close of an official consultation period.
Concerns centre on the inaccuracy of risk assessment, which could lead to people who are no danger to the public being locked up unnecessarily.
The organisations also say there is no consensus on a diagnosis for what constitutes severe personality disorder. And they say civil liberties issues are raised by the suggestion that non-offenders could be detained even if there is no hope of treating them.
Potentially dangerous
Under the government proposals published earlier in the year, a Medical Legal Panel would be set up with the power to lock up psychopaths on the basis that they were potentially dangerous. The consultation period on the proposals ends on 31 December.
A spokeswoman for Mind said: "We are talking locking people up for an indefinite sentence - for the first time we would be incarcerating people who have not committed a crime.
"We could be locking up five people for every one who might commit a crime - that is not acceptable.
"The concern we are raising with the government is that this is being proposed before they have done the proper research."
And a spokesman for the Royal College of Nursing said: "We have considerable difficulties with the plans. It is something that would need a great deal more investigation."
Sane, the mental health charity, said it shared the concerns of the other organisations, but warned something needed to be done to protect those who posed a risk to themselves and others.
A spokeswoman said: "The status quo cannot continue whereby people with such disorders which are considered `untreatable' are excluded from the mental health services and admitted to the Prison Service only after they have committed an offence.
"Sane believes that a way must be found of providing more chances of treatment and care to this very small group of people. This will involve creating new safeguards."

Hello beautiful ladies,
Do we even realize, the first month of 2015 is over? Time really passes by quick and we just can't get hold of it, but you can certainly get hold of some good makeup to make the time worth pleasing you.
January was a happy month for me, because I had the Loreal Star Red collection to please me. Today I shall review another lipstick from this collection named CSR8 PURE BRICK. Well this lipstick too is a good one just like the other lippies from this collection, but it has its own attributes to make it a little unique.
Dig in to know more.

My experience with Loreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipstick Pure Brick:
Packaging: These lipsticks come in a shiny black colored plastic casing, which has an inner golden cylinder to hold the lipstick bullet. The plastic used is of good quality, which is very shiny and will not catch up scratches early. I totally love the idea of the color coded buttons on the tube which clearly shows the shade of the lipstick, and not to miss the exclusive celebrity signature. I am very much in love with the packaging. Not boring, not over the top, a very sophisticated and classy packaging which is quite similar to the Loreal Moist Matte's packaging, but I like these more due to the classy black color.
Texture:Â It has a very soft and smooth texture; it spreads easily on lips without any tugging or pulling. It has an absolute matte finish which has a velvety feel and does not try out lips.
Shade: Pure Brick is a fabulous red toned brick shade. It is most subtle toned down red of this collection and is endorsed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. This shade will flatter all Indian skin tones very well.
Pigmentation: The lipstick is decently pigmented just a single swipe goes opaque on lips and a couple of swipes will intensify the shade.
My Take: Pure Brick is a gorgeous shade to have. This shade can actually be worn at work place too. Well it is not very subtle like various brick shades but is still subtle enough to be worn at work place and day times.
The texture is super adorable, smooth& velvety on lips and an absolute mate finish. The lipstick feels light weight and is not drying at all but at the same time not hydrating. If you are someone who have dry lips some lip balm underneath the lipstick will work for you, also ensure to exfoliate lips before applying the lipstick.
The pigmentation does not fail to impress. It imparts just the right color to lips in a single swipe. The only laid back issue with this lipstick was that that it kind of settled in my lips. But I guess that's because I wore it on my dry lip's day without a lip balm. So probably lips which are not dry might not face this problem.
The lippy stayed for some 5-6 hours with light snacking. This will not survive a full meal and does not stain too.
Overall this is a gorgeous red based brick shade lipstick which justifies its price tag and does give a single moment of repent.
What I Like About Loreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipstick Pure Brick:
- Classy Black Packaging.
- Soft & smooth texture.
- True Matte Finish.
- Nice color pay off.
- Decent staying power.
- A gorgeous red toned brick shade.
- Feels Light on lips.
- Does not dry lips.
- Worth every penny spent.
- Will suit all Indian skin tones.
What I Don't Like About Loreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipstick Pure Brick:
- Settles a bit in fine lines.
Rating: 4.5/5
Will I Recommend: Definitely yes, if you are someone who has been shying away from red due to their bold appeal should definitely give this shade a try.

Once a couple's divorce is finalized in Orange County, California, the relationship does not always end there. In some cases, issues remain between the couple such as an ongoing child custody or support agreement. Another major continuing obligation is alimony. While each case may be different, in general a spousal support obligation ends when the ex-spouse receiving the monthly check remarries.
A stock broker in California had knowledge of this general presumption, which is why he was surprised when the Second District Court of Appeal ruled on Aug. 23 that his $20,000 obligation to his ex-wife would continue despite her "remarriage" to her new boyfriend. The reason, the new couple chose to forgo signing a marriage license.
"I got screwed," said the ex-husband as he related the time leading up to the ceremony. "No one knew she wasn't married. I feel wronged." The thing was that the new couple told everyone they were getting married, including the children's school. There was an engagement ring and a registry at Bloomingdale's. Guests were invited to watch the couple walk down the aisle and say their "I do's" in front of a rabbi.
What was later revealed was that the couple had discussed spousal support just prior to the wedding. When the pair realized that both of their alimony checks would stop coming, they feared losing the income. Together, they decided to have a "commitment ceremony" instead. The court ruled that without a valid marriage license, there was no valid marriage to terminate the support obligation.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sep 29, 2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Exabeam, the leader in user behavior analytics (UBA) for security, today announced the closing of a $25 million financing round to further accelerate the company's rapid growth and continue updating its UBA solution in response to customer demand and industry trends. Icon Ventures led the Series B investment round. Icon Ventures' previous security investments include Palo Alto Networks PANW, +1.18% and FireEye (nasd:FEYE), two of the most valuable security companies in the world. Exabeam's previous investors – Aspect Ventures, Investor Shlomo Kramer and Norwest Venture Partners – also participated in the Series B funding, which follows a milestone year of growth for Exabeam and brings total investments in the company to $35 million.
In the face of growing data breaches, malware and other attacks, cyber security continues to be one of the fastest growing technology markets. UBA is a rapidly expanding segment within the security industry and helps organizations detect, prioritize and respond to modern cyber attacks. Many of the largest recent data breaches employed valid, stolen employee account credentials, and existing security technologies are often unable to detect the use of these stolen credentials. UBA solutions use machine learning and other advanced techniques to distinguish normal and abnormal use of employee account credentials.
"Cyber security continues to be an important market, and UBA can provide significant value to enterprises of all sizes," said Jeb Miller, general partner at Icon Ventures. "Exabeam is a leader in the UBA market, with a winning product, an excellent customer base and a strong team that has built multiple public security companies before."
"Both public agencies and private corporations are under non-stop attacks on their sensitive information. We read about new data breaches on a weekly basis," said Nir Polak, CEO of Exabeam. "Most of these attacks occur using valid account credentials, and UBA is the only solution today that detects and improves response to these attacks."
After launching its flagship product early in 2015, Exabeam has enjoyed strong market success, beating both revenue and customer adoption goals. Exabeam appliances are currently monitoring more than 1 million employees and contractors for compromised activity. In addition to continuing its domestic expansion and product development, the company will use the additional funds to drive growth through international expansion. Exabeam is also working with security operations centers to reduce the amount of time spent on tasks that can be automated by machine learning. Exabeam Version 2.0 is the first of its kind to automatically analyze account lockouts (which typically happen when legitimate users repeatedly mistype their passwords) for risk of cyber attack. The issue is traditionally handled by experienced staff, and can consume a significant percentage of security teams' time.
About Exabeam
Exabeam's user behavior analytics solution leverages existing log data to quickly detect advanced attacks, prioritize incidents and guide effective response. The company's Stateful User Tracking™ automates the work of security analysts by resolving individual security events and behavioral anomalies into a complete attack chain. This dramatically reduces response times and uncovers attack impacts that would otherwise go unseen. Built by seasoned security experts and enterprise IT veterans from Imperva, ArcSight and Sumo Logic, Exabeam is headquartered in San Mateo, California and is privately funded by Aspect Ventures, Icon Ventures, Investor Shlomo Kramer and Norwest Venture Partners.

AccelFoods Announces New $20 Million Fund and Class IV
Food and beverage accelerator and investor AccelFoods today announced a new $20 million fund as well as a new class of portfolio companies.
Fund II will allow AccelFoods to expand the range of companies it targets as the group can now cut "more sizable checks enabling us to invest in companies across rounds of financing, from Friends & Family all the way through Series B" said AccelFoods Managing Partner Lauren Jupiter.
The first class to see investment from the new fund is "a group of powerhouse founders with innovative products and go-to-market strategies" Jupiter said. "All six companies represent the professionalism, quality, and disruption that we believe in and invest in."
The companies are evidence of the current CPG trend of fresh, healthy foods that are also convenient. A movement not just confined to the grocery aisles, in a press release, Celebrity Chef and AccelFoods Advisor Tom Colicchio commented "Class IV represents a number of areas we are exploring in our restaurants, from ethnic flavors and gluten free offerings to cold brew coffee and protein snacks."
The class includes:
- Crunchsters: This savory snack made from sprouted mung beans gives consumers an on-the-go punch of protein, fiber and vitamins.
- il Morso: For consumers who don't want to brew a cup of coffee, this coffee-based bar provides a caffeine boost anytime.
- Nona Lim: Based on age-old recipes, this line gives consumers way to have heat-and-serve, fresh soups and noodles in minutes.
- Purely Pinole: This line adds pinole, an ancient Aztec powerfood, to a hot cereal base to create a nutrition packed, quick breakfast.
- Tea Drops: Offering an instant way to enjoy tea without the mess of tea bags, tea drops dissolve in water providing a perfectly brewed, hot beverage.
- Wandering Bear: For consumers that want cold brew without the hassle and wait, Wandering Bear offers a bag-in-box option of ready-to-drink cold brew coffee.
The current class contains several companies that already have fully developed product lines and are on shelves with a number of retailers. Meanwhile, investing in CPG has become more competitive with more investors entering the fray.
Jupiter reported that in the past 24 months, over $1 billion in capital has been raised in the industry. As a result of the wider access to funds, there are many more entrepreneurs who are willing to take the risk and start a food or beverage company.
"We are particularly excited by the caliber of entrepreneur entering our industry with true innovation," Jupiter said. "These entrepreneurs are coming from other industries like tech and financial services, bringing new ideas and perspectives about brand building, distribution, and manufacturing to the market."

Do you ever find yourself questioning whether your faith is true? And if so where do you turn to strengthen your faith?
I am most prone to doubt when I am tired or feeling under the weather. At times like that the number one thing that renews my faith is Christ's resurrection. Taking that away is like removing a key block from a Tower of Jenga, everything else collapses around it. Paul writes: 'And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.' 1 Corinthians 15:14 (NIV 2011) As if that wasn't strong enough Paul continues in the same chapter to say that if Christ has not been raised: 1) our message is a lie, 2) there is no resurrection for anyone else, 3) our faith is futile, 4) we are still in our sins, and 5) we of all people are the most to be pitied! Of course Paul is being rhetorical here, inviting us to have confidence in Christ's resurrection, because he then goes in to state: 'But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.' 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NIV 2011)
Why was Paul so certain that Christ had been raised? Because he had evidence; evidence that we too can rely on to confirm that our faith is based upon facts. Just a few verses earlier Paul cites the eyewitness testimonies of Peter and the 12 apostles, most of whom were still alive when Paul wrote and could have been questioned. He also cites a resurrection appearance to 500 others at the same time, again most of whom were still alive and could have been questioned.
Of course we could also look at the evidence of the empty tomb and the folded grave clothes; the response of the authorities who had every incentive to prove that Jesus had not risen; the eyewitness testimony of the women who arrived first at the tomb; the scepticism of Thomas; the willingness of the disciples to die for the truth of Christ's resurrection.
A careful investigation of such details leads to the conclusion that the best explanation for that first Easter morning is that Christ is indeed risen! And if Christ is risen then we know that the message of the scriptures is true, that we too will be resurrected, that our faith is not futile, that we have been set free from our sins, and that we are the envy of the world.
This Easter, allow yourself to be captivated by the facts. Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! Alleluia, Amen!

A compressor capacitor is an electronic component that attaches to an air conditioning system's compressor unit. It stores and releases electrical energy to run the compressor at the initial start up and during operation. In fact, there are two types, including start and run versions.
This specialized electronic component normally resembles a small cylinder with positive and negative terminals protruding from one end. The compressor capacitor attaches directly to the compressor's electrical supply. Energy within the capacitor maintains the compressor and fan motor speed at a consistent power level. As a result, the compressor and fan have long lifespans.
Start capacitors provide the extra energy needed when the compressor unit activates during the air conditioning cycle. The compressor's motor requires an initial torque boost from the capacitor's stored energy, effectively beginning the compressor's operation. After the compressor capacitor provides the starting energy, it disengages from the compressor unit. This disengagement action allows the run capacitor to engage with the electrical system. A start compressor capacitor will store some of the running electricity within its assembly for future start-up torque power.
Run capacitors maintain a steady electrical power supply to the compressor during operation. Electrical power can vary in voltage over time, which can harm a device's circuitry. In response, the design of the run capacitor requires it to be located between the power source and the compressor unit. Electrical power is reserved within the capacitor; the compressor draws the needed power from the capacitor, providing a safe and constant electrical flow.
Over time, a compressor capacitor can fail. Most compressors are located outside since they can be relatively loud during operation. As a result, these electronic components are prone to failure because of old age or weathering the elements. An air conditioning system that fails to activate may indicate a bad capacitor. Alternatively, the compressor and fan may not activate while the inside components try to operate.
A bad capacitor can look enlarged or even dented. Many homeowners replace the capacitor on their own, although care must be taken in doing so. All electrical power must be removed from the air conditioning system to prevent accidental electrocution. The repair person should note the colored wiring attached to each capacitor terminal for correct attachment to the new component.
A new compressor capacitor should have the same power rating as the old capacitor. The new capacitor can have a higher power rating than the original component; however, lower power ratings should not be used. Pairing a capacitor with less power than the original with the older compressor may damage the equipment, resulting in costly repairs.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Since my skating accident a couple months ago I've have around 10 x-rays and two CT scans.

Z: Zoo favorite animal: NOT monkeys. The creepy bastards.

Yankees Ride CC Past Birds To Earn Spot In ALCS
To ride a horse is to ride the sky.
– Author Unknown
The New York Yankees entered the postseason with one unquestioned ace. The Baltimore Orioles entered the postseason saying that their best pitcher was the pitcher scheduled to pitch that day. Unfortunately for the Orioles, not having that one horse you can ride throughout the postseason proved to be the difference in this series.
CC Sabathia pitched his first career postseason complete game and he struck out a personal postseason best nine batters on Friday to lead New York to an ALDS-clinching victory in Game 5 over upstart Baltimore in front of a raucous paid crowd of 47,081 at Yankee Stadium.
With the victory, the American League East-champion Yankees will advance to the American League Championship Series and host the American League Central-champion Detroit Tigers on Saturday.
Sabathia (2-0) gave up one run on four hits and two walks and threw 78 of his 121 pitches for strikes to run his ALDS record with the Yankees to 5-0 and he remains undefeated in his last eight postseason starts. In addition, he ran his career record against the Orioles, including his two postseason victories in the series, to 18-4.
The game unfolded as yet another pitchers' duel between Sabathia and Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel (0-1), who also squared off in Game 1 of the series.
Both pitchers retired the first nine batters they faced until Nate McLouth slapped an opposite-field single to left off Sabathia to open the fourth inning.
Hammel, however, extended his perfect streak through four innings until Mark Teixeira opened the fifth with a single over the Orioles' overshift into right-field. Manager Joe Girardi then decided to make the Orioles pay for not bothering to hold Teixeira on first base, as they have done through the entire series.
Teixeira stole second after swiping only two bases in the regular season and not stealing any in his career in postseason play. Teixeira then scored the first run of the game on a single up the middle by Game 3 hero Raul Ibanez.
Yankee fans got a bit of a pre-Halloween scare with two out in the sixth when McLouth hit a ball down the right-field line that was ruled a foul ball. The Orioles protested the call but the umpires upheld the original call of foul after a brief video review indicated the ball clearly traveled in front of the foul pole as it landed in the second deck. Sabathia then struck out McLouth to end the inning.
Hammel ran into more problems in the sixth when he issued a one-out walk to Derek Jeter and Jeter scored a line-drive double off the 385-foot marker in right-center by Ichiro Suzuki.
Two batters later, Hammel was removed from the game by Orioles manager Buck Showalter after yielding two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters in 5 2/3 innings.
The Yankees padded their lead in the seventh inning when Curtis Granderson, who entered Game 5 of the series 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts, blasted a solo home run down the line in right into the second deck off Orioles left-hander Troy Patton.
Staked to a 3-0 lead, Sabathia began the eighth inning having pitched a dominant one-hitter and he issued a lone walk to Matt Wieters in the fifth inning.
But Yankee fans had to bite their nails when Sabathia gave up a leadoff single to Wieters and a walk to Manny Machado. After Sabathia fanned Mark Reynolds, Lew Ford slapped a single into left to score Wieters and break up Sabathia's shutout.
Sabathia then induced Robert Andino to hit a weak comebacker to Sabathia's right of the mound. However, Sabathia threw to second too late to get a sliding Ford in what was scored a single.
With the crowd nervous for the first time all afternoon, Sabathia wriggled out of the inning by striking out McLouth and getting J.J. Hardy on a slow hopper to Jeter at short.
With his ace having thrown 29 pitches in the eighth and 111 pitches overall, Girardi – who bravely elected to bench Alex Rodriguez for this game in favor of Eric Chavez – opted to have Sabathia finish out the contest.
Girardi was determined to ride his big horse to the end.
It took Sabathia only 11 pitches to get Adam Jones on a routine fly to center, Chris Davis on a swinging strikeout and Wieters on a comebacker to himself. Sabathia trotted three strides towards first base and easily flipped the ball to Teixeira to put the final nail in the coffin to the Orioles' improbable playoff run.
Over the course of the season, the Yankees defeated the Orioles in 12 of 23 games and outscored them by four runs. In this series, they were 3-2 and outscored the Birds 16-10.
By virtue of having the best record in the American League, the Yankees will have home-field advantage in the best-of-seven ALCS. It will be the team's 15th appearance in the championship series and their first since the 2010 season.
- Though the Yankees blew a chance to begin the ALCS with Sabathia on the mound when they lost Thursday, the ace left-hander bailed them out with a truly dominant outing. In his two games in the series, Sabathia was 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA. He gave up just three runs on 12 hits and two walks and struck out 16 in 17 2/3 innings. In what definitely was a pitchers' series, Sabathia was clearly the Most Valuable Player.
- Ibanez came through with another crucial hit in the series to drive in the game's first run. Though he only received nine at-bats in the series, Ibanez had four hits, including a game-tying and game-winning homer, and three RBIs. In benching, Rodriguez, who was 2-for-16 with nine strikeouts, Ibanez was placed in the No. 5 spot in the order and he came through again.
- Granderson probably deserved to be benched as much as A-Rod, but he was 2-for-3 with a home run in the game. After a regular season in which Granderson led the team in home runs and RBIs, he was conspicuous in his struggles through the first four games of the series. Now he has something positive going for him leading up the ALCS.
I could mention the awful hitting of Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher, Rodriguez and Granderson. But you can say the same about Jones, Wieters, Reynolds and Hardy of the Orioles. This was a pitchers' series and both teams staffs held the other team down for long stretches. The difference was the Orioles did not have anyone who could match the brilliance of Sabathia.
It is not often that a three-time A.L. MVP and the highest-priced player on the payroll is benched for the deciding game of a postseason series, but Girardi informed Rodriguez via text message at about 1 p.m. EDT that he would not be starting Game 5. A-Rod replied, "I will be ready of you need me." Rodriguez had been pinch-hit for in Game 3 and Game 4 of the series. He did not play in Game 5. Chavez played third batted and batted ninth. He was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. . . . Reliever Joba Chamberlain was unavailable for Friday's game due to a swollen and bruised right elbow he sustained when he was struck by a piece of a shattered bat in the 12th inning of Thursday's game. His status for the ALCS is unclear and he is listed as day-to-day.
After the Yankees were bounced out the 2011 ALDS in five games by the Tigers last season, the Yankees will be looking a measure of revenge in 2012. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series will be Saturday.
The Yankees will start left-hander Andy Pettitte (0-1, 3.86), who gave up three runs in seven innings of a tough-luck 3-2 loss to the Orioles in Game 2 on Monday. In 23 career starts against the Tigers, Pettitte is 10-9 with a 3.66 ERA. But he is 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA in his seven starts at Yankee Stadium this season.
The Tigers will counter with right-hander Doug Fister (0-0, 2.57 ERA). Fister gave up two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in seven innings in Game 2 in a no-decision against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Fister is 1-2 with a 5.18 ERA lifetime against the Yankees. Although Fister won the deciding Game 5 of the ALDS against the Yankees last season, he was 1-1 with a 6.52 ERA against them in the series.
Game-time will be 8 p.m. EDT and the game will be telecast nationally by TBS.

Myofascial Release
Trauma and inflammatory responses create myofascial restrictions which can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures. These restrictions are not found in any of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)
This enormous pressure acts like a "straight jacket" on muscles, blood vessels, nerves and osseous structures (bone tissue) producing numerous symptoms of pain, headaches and restriction of motion.
Myofascial release stimulates the production of Interleukin 8 which is our body's own natural anti-inflammatory thereby allowing the body's natural healing capacity to function properly.
This work is gentle . . . for the most part . . . . and highly effective.

You're in the wrong place if you think anyone here cares about state socialism. You look really bad when you prop that up as a straw-man. If you're confused on why people think you're a troll, this is one of the reasons.

An Anarchist... So fuck state socialism. Why do you people keep coming in here claiming that Anarchists care about state socialism? Oh right, because your talking heads keep that idea on repeat, that we want to bring another stalin in to play.
If you bothered actually reading about what we believe, or even what we've been discussing, you'd find that we're staunchly against people like stalin, or mao, or any other state socialists...

It's a shame you would all rather attack me for asking questions than try to teach me. Could that be because there's not actually any functional differences between practical communism and on-paper communism?

text: Sainfoin is a forage plant belonging in the legume family. Sainfoin is somewhat similar to alfalfa in stature. It produces an attractive pinkish/purple flower and has a different leaf shape than alfalfa though. One of the major advantages to Sainfoin is its non-bloating nature to cattle when grazed. Sainfoin is also a little more tolerant than Alfalfa to early season Glyphosate applications. Sainfoin prefers well drained soil and should be planted at a rate of 25# plus on dryland and 35# and up on irrigated acres. Inoculant should also be applied to the seed, but the strain of bacteria used requires that the inoculants be applied no longer than 24 hours previous to planting. The most common varieties are Eski, Remont, Shoshone and Delaney.

How to Explode Through Stubborn Plateaus in Pursuit of Potential
According to two major sources, growth is a top of mind priority for most business leaders across a variety of industries. However, getting from 'here' to 'there' is an entirely different story. Leaders of major organizations are struggling with uncertainty, stress and lack of confidence in choosing, mapping, and executing the right strategies.
- Does your organization have a growth strategy? One of the biggest misconceptions is that your strategic plan is your strategy - this couldn't be further from the truth!
- Does running your business get in the way of building your business?
- Do you find your business delivering inconsistently on top and bottom line performance year in and year out?
- Are you susceptible to flavor-of-the-month management and multiple changes in direction?
You're not alone - over 80% of businesses are experiencing these same frustrations.
Finally, there's a way to get unstuck. Join us for an interactive workshop where we will guide you and your team through the key elements of strategy, why they're critical to your success, and how to get your entire company strategically primed to start delivering stronger, predictable and repeatable performance.
Provide leaders with a proven roadmap and tools-based system to accomplish the following:
- Learn the key components of a strong strategy and how to apply to your business
- Learn the key questions you need to be asking to enhance the strategic mindset of your organization
- Learn how to develop a growth strategy that ties to your vision, purpose or mission
- Learn the difference between strategy and culture and how to calibrate for better performance
- Apply concepts in peer-based workshop activities
5 Types of Innovation and How to Apply them to Any Size Business
One of the biggest, present day challenges for organizations of all sizes is innovation. According to a popular study, 61% of companies cite innovation as a major focus within their businesses, yet 55% don't seek out innovation opportunities and an astounding 66% do not have well defined innovation strategies. Taken further, 5-year compounded growth rates of innovative companies is 84% as compared to 28% of all the rest.
- Have you made any big discoveries lately?
- When's the last time you performed research or trend analysis on your target market or industry?
- Do you find your business spends too much time on what the competition is doing and not enough time on your customers' needs?
- Do you encourage and are you getting innovative ideas from all levels of the organization on how to serve your customers more effectively?
Very few organizations can claim success in any of these areas.
Join us in this interactive workshop as we journey you and your team through 5 different kinds of innovation, how to decide which is best for your organization, and how to action it for new growth.

- Apply planning method in peer-based group activities
Learn How To Finally Close the Giant Gap Between Strategy And Results
Kaplan and Norton reports that 90% of organizations fail to successfully implement their strategies. Even more, the Economist Intelligence Unit shares that organizations realize just 60% of the potential value of their strategies.
- What will it take to ensure that your organization does not become a statistic?
- How will you drive your organization's vision to life?
- Will you be able to mobilize your team to a specific direction behind the right activities to deliver the results you envision?
Very few organizations do it effectively.
The good news? There's a way forward that works. It's time to move from inspiration to reality.
Join us in this interactive workshop as we journey you and your team through an innovative and proven planning system that will finally close the gaps between strategy and results.

Training Programs
In addition to our strategy-focused workshops, we have two training programs that we facilitate to help organizations activate a growth-focused strategy on the frontlines. These unique training offerings focus on developing the system, attitudes, and skills required to deliver memorable growth experiences to customers and employees alike.
Whether participating in the sales or service training, the format is exactly the same:
- Initial 4 - 6 hour interactive workshop
- 8-12 weeks of follow-up sessions to apply process and principles
- Flexibility in format exists to accommodate field sales teams, travel or call center schedules
Sales and Service Training
Do you have your hands wrapped around what your customers' experience when doing business with you? Are your customers treated as a transaction or a relationship?
When it comes to selling and serving, the game has changed. Over the last several decades, the internet has had great impact on how we research, purchase, and advocate products or services. Place a call to any Amazon company or step inside a Starbucks, Chick-fil-A or Whole Foods and you'll most likely have a wow! service story to share on your Facebook feed that very evening.
Every business and brand has raised the bar on the experience they deliver their customers.
Now, it's your turn!
Provide sales, service and management professionals with:
- A customer-centric and needs-focused, multi-step sales and service process that's repeatable
- Learning keys that positive impact attitude, beliefs and skills
- Behavioral change as a result of consistent application, accountability and supportive coaching
This training is ideal for:
- Anyone in your organization who touches the customer, either in a sales or service capacity
- Organizations with a desire to enhance their overall employee and customer experience with their brands
- Organizations who have a goal to achieve higher levels of productivity and customer loyalty
Coaching Training for Management
Perhaps the widest capability gap in any organization in our present day is talent. Stated further, the inability to identify and develop future leadership in organizations is pervasive.
The Graying of Corporate America (40% of top leadership headed to retirement) will lead to a lot of vacant seats on the organizational chart – do you have the right coaching in your organization to develop new leaders?
Coaching systems at strong organizations share the following 3 attributes:
- Coaching is inextricably linked to a growth strategy. (this is rare)
- Leadership believes its purpose is to create more leaders. (this is very rare)
- Coaching is a hardwired habit, as opposed to a dreaded chore. (this is extremely rare)
So, how do you begin to think about a better coaching system for your organization?
Have every one of your managers attend this training.
Provide sales, service and management professionals with:
- A multi-step coaching process and system that's repeatable
- Learning keys that positive impact attitude, beliefs and skills
- Behavioral change as a result of consistent application, accountability and supportive coaching
This training is ideal for:
- Anyone with direct reports and/or is responsible for developing people
- Organizations with a desire to enhance their overall employee and customer experience with their brands
- Organizations who have a goal to achieve higher levels of productivity and customer loyalty

1. Tell us about yourself – where you live, your job, things you like to do.
Where to start… I'm originally from a tiny town in Northern Minnesota, but I moved to Southern Minnesota (Mankato) in 1994 to finish my bachelor's degree in education at Mankato State University. I have been in the non-profit industry almost exclusively. I am advocate for chemical and mental health and am nearly finished with a master's degree in mental health counseling. Currently, I work as the Volunteer and Training Coordinator at a local RCO (Recovery Community Organization). I am also active in youth sports. I coach youth baseball and football. My hobbies include family, fishing, camping, exercise, cooking, watching Minnesota sports teams ESPECIALLY THE VIKINGS!!!, and I enjoy being a tech geek.
2. Which Android device or devices do you own? Why did you choose Android? How do you customize your device?
I own the Droid Incredible. I became a Droid junkie before I even owned one. While in grad school I started a job at Verizon Wireless. In the early days the phones at Verizon were no comparison to the iPhone, and although we kept hearing rumors of the iPhone coming to Verizon we had to wait and use the Verizon best alternative the HTC Touch. When the Android phones launched I got to play, review and learn everything about them; by the time the iPhone was confirmed as coming to Verizon it no longer mattered. The Droid is better! I customize my device as much as possible (without rooting). I use a customized launcher (Launcher Pro) and of course customized it to my liking. Have different ringtones and SMS notifications for each of my frequent contacts. I use folder applications, Beautiful Widgets, etc. to polish my display!
3. Do you root or not? If you root, why?
I don't — yet! I always rooted with my non-Droid HTC's (touch, touch pro), however, I am not as proficient yet with this, so I am waiting to get my next Droid to practice on this one; that way if I brick it I know I have another phone.
4. Is there a particular category of apps that interests you the most?
Yes! I love gaming apps (Words With Friends is my favorite) love the puzzle games – Sudoku, etc. I'm a huge fan of widget apps. I want to be able to quickly and efficiently view upcoming tasks, appointments etc… I also use fitness apps daily. Absolutely love the JEFIT app.
5. What are your top apps and why?
Jorte – Love the ease of use and great widget.
JEFIT – This may be the most important to me. This app is a workout wonder. It helps track (and keep you on track) your fitness routines. If you are not sure how to do a lift, it will show you an animated demo to get the lift just right!
MyFitnessPal – This app takes your workouts and converts them into calories burned. You can also enter foods you have eaten (it has cataloged every food known to man I think) and it adds those calories to your diary and give you an accurate report of your dietary status.
Astrid Tasks – Love the way this little app keeps me on task (by humorously nagging me to do it).
Places – Love, this app! Not only does it list the places that are nearest to you, you get reviews from people (not just the columnists).
Google Maps – I used to have Tom Tom and used it religiously, now I use my phone and it works just as well and even gives my a color phone of what my destination looks like!
6. Give an example of a time an app was truly useful to you.
Places – I was recently in Connecticut on business. I had no idea where the good restaurants were; got some advice from a colleague and took a cab only to find they were shut down for renovations… No problem; just pulled up Places and it told me of all the restaurants in my (walking) area and gave me what people said about each place and I headed on my way!
7. What other AndroidApps.com member do you admire the most and why?
Recently it has been Mandroid3. I really like meditative music and apps and found some really great apps thanks to his reviews.
8. Do you have a Twitter account you'd like to share?
You can follow me on Twitter at purplemania56.
9. Anything else you'd like to share with the Appolicious audience?
You are already paying a lot of money for your data service so use it! Don't be afraid to explore and download, you can always uninstall.

Standing Firm for Principle
Posted by: Steve Marr on Nov 21, 2013
Christians often are called to stand for principle. Today, Christians are martyred for their faith in many parts of the world. When faced with a choice, these saints choose principle, and death, over renouncing faith in Christ, and living on earth.
In the United states, we face choices everyday, do we stand for Christ, His ways and His principles, or do we fold? The pressure may come from being expected to laugh at an off color joke, lie by omission to get through a situation or to condone public policy that does not uphold a Biblical standard.
A choice we have is, give up, or stand tall. Will we be remembered as one who stood for the Lord, or surrendered? Is the road to surrender really easier?
Most know of the battle at the Alamo. While historical accounts differ, we know approximately 189 Texans held off the Mexican Army of thousands for 13 days at the siege of the Alamo. The garrison was asked to surrender, they refused, knowing they could not prevail against a vastly larger force. The result was the death of all defenders when the battle ended on March 3rd, 1836.
Shortly after, another battle was engaged, one you may have never known. The town of Goliad Texas was defended by a group of 342 Texian defenders. When asked to surrender, the commander, James Fannin, seeing the situation as helpless, surrendered. On March 27th, 1836 Mexican General Santa Anna ordered the execution of all 342 prisoners.
The result of both battles was the same, the death of all Texians.
What are some of the differences between the two battles?
First, we "Remember the Alamo", who has ever said "Remember Goliad" in history?
Second, in the battle of the Alamo the Mexican sustained 600 causalities, a high price for the victory. In taking Goliad, no Mexican causalities were sustained. When standing for principle, we have a choice, surrender and make the advance of the enemy easy, or stand and fight, making them pay a heavier price, even when they seem to win.
Third, Colonel Travis, commander of the Alamo asked for help from the Goliad force. Colonel Fannin declined to send help. If the forcers had merged, could they have held the Alamo, and prevailed? Possibly, we will never know. We do know that by not combining the forcers, each was doomed to defeat.
When pressured, we can look at Scripture, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.' (Psalm 20:7 NIV) We can either trust our survival instants and a desire for an easier road, or the Lord. We have choice, trust God, or ourselves.
CEN application:
1. Is the church stronger separately, or if we work together?
2. How can we work together to unify the church?
3. Where are we challenged today to take a stand? Will be we an Alamo, or Goliad?

The Death of Bunheads
Does anyone remember Bunheads? It was this quirky little show about ballerinas by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) that I remember actually first made me want to write for Persephone. I saw the many television show recaps through Persephone that drew together fans of shows and had great conversations and I wanted to do that too. Alas, by the time the opportunity to write for Persephone came around, Bunheads was already in sad limbo, and the future looked dark. Read More The Death of Bunheads

Part 2 of Saffron & Marigold flower quilt
After many hundreds of hand stitches I finished the marigold flower block that I am going to make. I hope that I have managed to the create some sort of impression of it. I have now completed one from each flower.. ..
Pencil Case
I have been carrying my pencils colours in a zip lock bag for awhile now, and kept postponing the idea of making a case. Finally, found some indian cotton fabric which was both pretty and suitable for the project. First I thought of adding a piece of lace as an embellishment, but later I opted for this decorative beaded disc.
Place-mats & Coasters
These already cut quilt blocks were in a bag of remnants that was passed on to me by a friend. I hand pieced them, added a backing and folded the extra in front to make a border then completed with running stitch; as well as long all the other pieced lines. This set will be a gift to a friend who moved her first home.
Yard sale findings;
Both my neighbourhood churches had their annual yard sales couple of weekends ago. I manged to stopped by at both places; here are few of the things I took home.
* coin purse lot was 1$
* a family of nesting dolls and a ceramic pencil sharpener was 1$
* old english needlepoint butter dish by H&K Tunstall was $2. It is very pretty.
*pair of pretty oven mitts, kitchen towels, napkins and a embroidered table cloth. The highest amount I paid for an item was $2, and everything I got are in good condition and will be well used.
Thank you for stopping by today,
till my next post,
