Spring 2012 News and Activities
Board of Directors Election
In the election that took place online from May 7 to May 21, SBCA members selected a new vice president, David Weimer, professor of Public Affairs and Political Science at the La Follette School of Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Madison. As vice president, David will work with the president, secretary/treasurer, and the rest of the board to help the Society prosper and grow, as well as organize the annual meeting. On January 1, 2013, David will automatically become president of the Society.
Membership Renewals
Thanks to the support of its members, the Society has continued to grow and further the practice and use of benefit-cost analysis. We hope you will support the Society in 2012 and beyond by renewing your membership today. Benefits of membership include reduced rates of admission to the annual conference, the opportunity to vote in elections and participate on committees, and inclusion in a group of scholars and practitioners working at the leading edge of this expanding field. Plus, now you can renew and pay online using a credit card.
Annual Conference Update
We are pleased to announce that we are in the midst of organizing a collaboration with the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) annual conference. The SBCA will be adding several BCA-focused sessions for inclusion in the APPAM program, taking place from November 8-10 in Baltimore. Members of the SBCA who wish to attend the fall APPAM meetings and who are not APPAM members will be able to attend at the reduced members-only fee. Stay tuned for more details about this exciting new partnership, and save the date for APPAM in November.
Because of the relatively short timeline for organizing the SBCA sessions at APPAM, past President Richard Zerbe, current President Joseph Cordes, and Vice President David Weimer have been working to organize the APPAM panels. Although we are on a tight schedule, we would welcome paper proposals for this fall if they are received by Monday, June 18.
Some of you have inquired about the status of the SBCA annual meeting, which have been held in the fall of each year. In past years, a number of members have raised the possibility of switching these meetings from fall to spring, due to the fact that there are already multiple fall meetings of professional societies with overlapping interests which compete with the SBCA meeting. Accordingly, in 2013 we will experiment with holding the annual SBCA conference and meeting in February or March. SBCA will not be holding an annual meeting in fall 2012, but we invite our members to attend the APPAM conference instead (see above).
News and Announcements
Ongoing Collection of Benefit-Cost Analysis Studies: The Benefit-Cost Analysis Center (BCAC) at the Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington, chaired by Dr. Richard Zerbe, will release a growing database of benefit-cost analysis studies on its website in summer 2012. The collection spans a variety of topics and will serve as a valuable resource to the field of benefit-cost analysis. If you would like to suggest a study for inclusion in the database, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis: The editors of the JBCA are pleased to announce the latest issue with articles covering cases, theory, and applications by outstanding authors. SBCA members are entitled to free downloads of all JBCA content, and, of course, are encouraged to submit articles for upcoming issues online. We are still accepting article submissions for the Arnold Harberger Prize for Retrospective Analysis with a prize honorarium of at least $2,000. More information is provided in the downloadable flyer (pdf) and on the website.

The fellowship runs for 12 months, starting September 2012, and includes relocation expense reimbursements as well as a stipend. Details are available online here.

Top 5 "What the Fuck?!" Moments in Mainstream Cinema
by Kirk Jones
When you think back to your earliest exposure to the bizarre, where are you taken? For me, early exposure to the bizarre usually occurred during those rare instances when my parents turned on the television, or rented something they thought would be family-friendly. Then, after our expectations had been met and we were convinced we were watching something relatively safe and mundane, we'd get bombarded by some of the most outrageous shit we had ever laid our eyes on. This list is dedicated to a few of those moments when you're forced to throw your expectations out the window and turn your suspension of disbelief to its highest setting.
5. Mr. Toilet Man in Look Who's Talking Too
Mikey is just your run-of-the-mill American child. He likes to pick on his sister, drive his parents insane, and he's a bit reluctant to potty train. Likewise, Look Who's Talking Too is your run-of-the-mill film. The tone of the film is set within the first two minutes, and you're left thinking that the only thing requiring your suspension of disbelief is Roseanne's voice emanating from an infant child. As if that alone isn't a hard enough pill to swallow, someone decided to add a fucking vampire toilet that spews toilet duck and demands pee pee for sustenance to the equation:
4. Furry Blowjob Scene in The Shining
Shelley Duvall runs away from her deranged, murderous husband, rounds a corner, and comes face-to-face with an old man getting a blowjob from an obese man in a bulldog outfit. The camera quickly closes in on the man in costume. We reverse POV to Duvall holding a butcher knife, who takes in the scene, casually turns as if what she just saw is perfectly normal, and continues sprinting. I guess seeing a furry sex act pales in comparison to almost being decapitated by Jack Nicholson.
While Duvall runs away seemingly unaffected, this scene stuck with a lot of folks, evidenced by the countless forums online discussing the apparent non-sequitur nature of this moment. There's more than a handful of folks who want to know what this shit means. Too bad they never bothered with the book, which could have shed a little light on this scene.
3. Singing Hamburger in Better off Dead
Lane Meyer just wants to find a decent minimum-wage job so he can forget about his girlfriend dumping him. The problem is that minimum-wage jobs are far from stimulating, and every time Lane's mind starts to wander, it results in hallucinations that rival Woodstock's infamous brown tab acid. He takes a job at the local fast food restaurant anyway. Thus begins his excursion into the realm of male creation fantasies, and what little logic remains in the film goes out the fucking window as a hamburger comes to life and starts singing Van Halen:
2. Dildo Death Scene in Clockwork Orange
Clockwork Orange is one of those weird films you sit down to watch because you're looking for something outside the moral parameters of the average Hollywood blockbuster. But this scene still stands out among the wealth of ultraviolent and bizarre moments in the film. For me, the beauty of this scene isn't found in the actual murder. It's the way the aging woman flips out whenever Alex slaps the porcelain cock, causing it to rock back and forth:
1. Then there's this shit:
According to the thread on Youtube, this clip allegedly comes from the film Dues et Dono. People are scrawling maniacally on a chalkboard. Another group of people tears them away from the board and throws them to the ground . . . so they can scribble all over the fucking chalk board. Then some skinhead in a wife beater swings a bed around while everyone jumps over it. Coupled with the disorienting camera angles and the mock searches, this scene just makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Kirk Jones is an instructor of humanities for the State University of New York. His work has appeared, or will be appearing in Amazing Stories of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, A Hacked-Up Holiday Massacre, New Tales of the Old Ones, Bust Down the Door & Eat All the Chickens, Unicorn Knife Fight, Flashes in the Dark, and on Bizarro Central. His first book, Uncle Sam's Carnival of Copulating Inanimals, was published by Eraserhead Press imprint NBAS in 2010. He also writes about all kinds of shit on his blog: www.bizarrojones.com

Mel & Ann have been visiting Gerry & I this week. And they came bearing gifts from our mutual SKP friends, Cal & Nancy. Nothing like a big bag of chocolate-covered blueberries to get everyone smiling. 🙂
Another SKP friend, Betty, also stopped by for a couple of nights. She's on her way to Jojoba bearing hugs for Jean & Doug.
The weather gets better every day. Gerry and Mel usually walked down to the Plaza each morning for coffee and whatever-it-is-that-guys-talk-about — they were usually joined by other locals. Who knows what things were plotted sitting in the sun.
The four of us took a hike with the local natural history association on Thursday to the San Antonio Mine. (Terry, you'd probably enjoy this.)
Mel drove us in his Ford. Gerry enjoyed sitting in the passenger seat for a change, even if it wasn't a Dodge.
The hike was a leisurely one, about 3 miles round trip, 22 of us altogether. Not surprising that Gerry was first to the top. This pile is an interesting combination of silica flux (I have no idea what that it), feldspar (ooo, sparkly) and scrap mica.
The mine, which shows no sign of recent activity, has been there since 1946. This shot was taken looking down on the operation. Our hike brought us to the site via the road to the old house.
The house has definitely seen better days. The only occupants now are woodrats and and other assorted critters. I guess you'd call it a "handy-man special".
The mine provided thousands of tons of silica flux to the smelter in Ajo. Several pieces of old equipment sit on the site, slowly disappearing into the desert.
Mel & Ann are off tomorrow for a little R&R in a condo near Palm Springs. (Hey, RV life is tough. Ya gotta have a break some times.)
We hope to see Brenda & Bill next week, and Gloria & Dave the week after. Lots of fun to have visitors. 🙂

After divorce, child custody comes next. Things may be easier if there are no issues between the parents of the child, but in most cases, each party will consider the services of child law attorney in Albuquerque to gain custody.
In a child custody case, the decision will always be on "the best interests of the child". A judge will consider all factors that could possibly affect the child or children, and hand down a ruling based on these. The ruling must be fair to both parents, give each equal rights and privileges to the child.
Deciding where or with whom a child or children of a divorced couple will live is not easy. There are several considerations that a judge must weigh. This includes the wishes of the parents as well as the child's relationship with both parents, siblings and other persons may affect on the child in case of a move, the child's comfort relative to home, school and community and finally, the child's wishes.
In the end, the ruling will always be for the good of the child or children and what is best for his or her physical, psychological and emotional well-being.
Types of custody
While living arrangements will definitely change, once custody is decided on, there are still different types of custody. An arrangement for visitation is also agreed upon so that the other parent continues to enjoy relationships with both parents.
Joint custody is often preferred. Whereas before, maternal custody was often granted, there is now more leeway given since mothers are also part of the workforce and fathers do take on a more hands-on role in parenting.
Some couples, upon reaching a separation agreement, also draw up a custody plan that they have both agreed to. Judges do take these into consideration as long as it is in the child's best interest.
Custodial interference
Sometimes, parents who are hostile to one another don't follow arrangements concerning custody. Usually, this has to do with visitation rights as well as making decisions where it concerns the child. These include not allowing the child to see the other parent at an appointed time or intentionally not returning the child at the scheduled time. Some also interrupt visits when it is supposed to be time spent with the other parent.
These situations may appear like violations of court orders, but they may not necessarily be so especially if a situation has arisen that could be dangerous for a child.
It is always best to remain civil when children are involved during a separation to minimize the effects on the child. In the end, it still is what is best for the child.

Do you want to be able to listen to your baby's fetal heart rate? You can go and get an expensive ultrasound done, or you could hear your baby's heartbeat from the comfort of your own home with the Angelsounds fetal doppler.
[Read more about Fetal Doppler]
This amazing unit allows you to listen to your baby's heart rate as soon as 14 weeks.
You'll be able to record your baby's heart rate, export it, and have the peace of mind in knowing that your baby's heartbeat is within the normal range during pregnancy. This can also be used as an early indication of any pregnancy problems, and many pregnant mothers find joy in hearing their baby's heartbeat whenever they wish.
And the Angelsounds fetal doppler reviews are all extremely positive
Angelsounds Fetal Doppler Features and Specs
- Heart rate accuracy between 14 – 16 weeks
- Recording capability
- Export recordings in mp3 or wav files
- 3 MHz probe
- One recording cable
- Headphones included
Review of the Angelsounds Fetal Doppler
The perfect name for the perfect sound: Angelsounds. Every mother-to-be gets excited to hear her baby's heartbeat for the first time. It's a magical moment in every mother's life, and you don't have to go and get an ultrasound every time you want to hear your little one's heartbeat. Now, you have the opportunity to purchase a doppler that allows you to monitor your child's heart rate any time you wish.
We were lucky enough to be able to try this model ourselves, and it's so easy to use:
- Lay down on the bed in a slightly reclined position.
- Apply the gel to your stomach.
- Use the probe starting at the pubic bone, and move side to side until you hear the heartbeat.
- Be patient and find the heartbeat – it takes a while at first.
Your baby is small, and it will take a while to find the right position to could hear your baby's heartbeat. Many women will know where their baby likes to lay, so you'll want to adjust appropriately.
While the manufacturer states that you'll be able to hear a heartbeat as early as 14 weeks, many women are able to hear a heartbeat as early as 10 weeks. Keep in mind that this depends on the woman and the pregnancy – everyone is different.
The manufacturer has included everything you need to get started:
- Sample gels
- Headphones
- Recording cable
What's really nice about this unit is that you're able to attach a recording cable to your computer. This means that you can record your baby's heartbeat in either MP3 or WAV file format so that you can play it back to them when they're older, send it to grandparents, listen to it with your husband, or simply save it for future use.
The unit does require a 9 V battery to operate, and it's very simple to get started.
There are no complicated modes or settings to worry about.
Right in the middle, you'll see a heart which allows you to operate the unit. Simply click the heart, and use the probe to find your baby's heartbeat.
There are two listening slots, but I must admit that the included headphones are rather cheap and not high-quality. I recommend using better quality headphones, but they will suffice if you don't like the idea of purchasing another headset to listen to your baby.
Simple and easy to use, this model is perfect for mothers-to-be. While I didn't like the headphones because they were a little bit flimsy, they do suffice and will do the job perfectly. You also have the option of using your own headphones and plugging them right into the top of the unit. Two slots allow you and your partner to listen to the baby, and you can even export the sound to your computer.
If you're a first time mother or had pregnancy complications in the past, this doppler provides you with peace of mind in knowing that your baby is healthy.

Case Name:
Federal Trade Commission v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., 677 F.3d 1298 (11th Cir. April 25, 2012) (Circuit Judges Carnes, Kravitch, and Farris presiding; Opinion by Carnes) (Appeal from N.D. Ga., Thrash, J.)
Drug Product and Patent(s)-in-Suit:
Androgel® (testosterone); U.S. Pat. No. 6,503,894 ("the '894 patent")
Nature of the Case and Issue(s) Presented:
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed an antitrust suit challenging the patent settlement agreements between Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Paddock Laboratories, Inc. The FTC challenged the settlement agreements on the basis that they included "pay-for-delay" or "reverse payment" terms (i.e., "a patent holder pays the alleged infringing generic drug company to delay entering the market until a specified date, thereby protecting the patent monopoly against a judgment that the patent is invalid or would not be infringed by the generic competitor."). The FTC asked the Court to hold that reverse payment settlements are presumptively unlawful restraints of trade. The key allegation in the FTC complaint was that the patent holder was "not likely to prevail" in the infringement actions that it brought against the generic manufacturers and would then likely settle. After reviewing the current case law, the Court rejected the FTC's arguments outright. According to the Court, the FTC was proposing that the Court "decide how some other court in some other case at some other time was likely to have resolved some other claim if it had been pursued to judgment."
Why Defendants Prevailed:
The FTC's proposal was unpalatable to the Court, since the Court would have to undertake the "turducken" task of deciding a patent case within an antitrust case, especially considering that Congress has designated a specialized court, the Federal Circuit, to evaluate the merits of patent cases. The FTC proposal would require an after-the-fact calculation of how "likely" the patentee was to succeed in the case if it had not settled. Such a task is precarious at best. The Court clearly outlined the antitrust analysis set forth in prior case law. According to the Court, the appropriate time to analyze the antitrust implications of a reverse payment settlement is at the time that the settlement is executed. Thus, generally, a court's judgment about a patent's actual exclusionary power is not relevant. Instead, the court should look at a patent's "potential exclusionary power" as it appears at the time of the settlement. The Court stated that "absent sham litigation or fraud in obtaining the patent, a reverse payment settlement is immune from antitrust attack so long as its anticompetitive effects fall within the scope of the exclusionary potential of the patent." But the Court clearly stated that this does not mean that reverse payment settlements are immune from antitrust attack. If a reverse payment settlement reduced generic competition to a greater extent than the patent grant potentially does, the patent holder is overreaching and those rights are vulnerable to antitrust attack. The appropriate analysis requires the examination of "(1) the scope of the exclusionary potential of the patent; (2) the extent to which the agreement exceeds that scope; and (3) the resulting anticompetitive effects."

Sophie, you got some really good stuff this year! I feel like you and I have the same taste. The home decor items are exactly what I would have picked out (especially that bin!). That Ambient Light palette is lovely and the floral drinking cups are so me! Oh, and don't feel bad about wanting 1D DVD's, I, in fact have the Justin Beiber one. :'DReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!

Really helped with everything we wanted and was quick to respond with different options. Even when we had finalised our holiday, sad news came from Sri Lanka and Sarah was quick to help us find a suitable alternative staying within our budget. I would highly recommend anyone to use Sarah - it was quick, easy, stress-free and all done with no pressure.

Michelle was friendly, informative and quick at responding to my messages and questions. She spent 3 hours, on a Saturday afternoon, around our house sorting our holiday out which shows dedication and flexibility. This took all the stress out of going into a travel agency or spending hours on the internet getting confused!

We've just come back from a wonderful family holiday, all arranged by Sarah. I gave her a tough shopping list: somewhere not too hot, no further than 3 hours on a plane, baby-friendly and with a hot tub in our room. She nailed it on all counts, the quote and booking process was so easy, we literally did nothing! Boarding passes were all sorted, printed and hand-delivered to us - all we had to do was turn up. I can't recommend her highly enough. It's changed the way I think about booking a holiday now - why spend ages trawling the internet for deals and having to compare them all? I'd definitely just leave it to the experts and let Sarah take care of it from now on. Thank you for an amazing holiday, we made some lovely memories.

The Polaroid Z2300
A few years ago, Wallpaper remixed "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" to give us the ultimate party jam. Now Polaroid's combined point & shoot size with instant print magic to create the ultimate party camera.
What we've got here is the Polaroid Z2300, a digital camera that makes sticky-backed instant prints at the push of a button.
The Polaroid Z2300 is the smallest digital camera we've seen that delivers instant prints. It uses Premium ZINK paper that can't be accidentally exposed, costs less per shot than Polaroid film and has a peel-off sticky back . Print your favorite shots and save everything directly to the camera or your SD card.
Customize your 10-megapixel images: crop, add borders, or use the color filters for some serious par-tay. The Z2300 takes video too! All this comes in a sleek package the size of a point & shoot complete with the iconic Polaroid rainbow.
This tripod-mountable marvel is small enough to bring with you anywhere: wear it around your neck or toss it your tote bag and your party prep is complete. Just met a camera-loving cutie? Leave a photo to remember you by, and keep a digital one for yourself. Hide a LOL-worthy sticker in an unexpected place. Bring it with you to the dance floor to capture the ultimate party video.
The next time you're reviewing your party photos mid-shindig and someone says "That would make a great print," you can tell them "Just wait about thirty seconds."

Last week, AM attended the much anticipated opening of Futura's show presented in conjunction withValmorbida. Held at a sizable Meat Packing district cargo hold, the pop-up exhibition was the perfect location for one of the kings of the street to make a triumphant return to New York City. Boldly kicking off the art season and fashion week, the graffiti legend held nothing back as he presented a showing that was a true tour de force. As previewed in our exclusive behind the scenes look at the exhibition set-up, Futura took the audience on a surreal journey through four decades of urban artistry. From past styles to current techniques, this body of work entitledFuture-Shock cohesively binds together a continuing legacy for one Leonard McGurr.

Flickr photographer Patrícia Almeida recently shot these great photos of a wonderfully whimsical umbrella installation using her iPhone and camera. Like something out of a fairy tale, the umbrellas look almost like they're magically floating in mid-air. As she writes, "In July in Águeda (a Portuguese town) some streets are decorated with colorful umbrellas. I felt like a kid, amazed by all that color!" Love this kind of outdoor art. (Bonus points that it provides nice shade for those strolling along the street!)

Perhaps the filter on these photos by Patrícia Almeida make these even more eye-catching, but we are showing you this because we think its a great idea for a public art project. In the town of Águeda, Portugal, colorful umbrellas are hung over promenades, giving your walk an interesting hue and something quite lovely to gaze up at. And look at how cool the shadow effect is on the ground!

Dear Valued Patient,
As technology rapidly advances, Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center is proud to be one of the first to bring exciting new treatment options to the Houston market! Non-surgical skin tightening and lifting, as well as intimate wellness and PRP for hair loss are among the newest additions to our treatment options. In staying with our commitment of educating patients on these advancements and how these new treatment options can be integrated into a personalized treatment plan, you can feel confident that our board-certified dermatologists have the answers to help you achieve your medical and aesthetic goals! We hope you find this information as exciting as we do and we look forward to seeing you at your next visit!
Sincerely, Dr. Friedman
Please fill out the form below to receive our quarterly E-Newsletters.
Our Current Newsletter
The Silhouette InstaLift is a non-surgical threading procedure that re-contours your face by lifting the deeper layers of your skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Unlike other threading procedures, the InstaLift uses PLLA and PGLA (natural sutures) to immediately lift the skin while also stimulating collagen production long-term. This in-office procedure typically takes 45 minutes and patients experience instant and long lasting results with minimal down time.
Thermage FLX
What is Thermage FLX™?
Thermage FLX™ is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared procedure that utilizes radiofrequency technology to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin for a smoother, more youthful, and refreshed look while enhancing patient comfort and reducing the overall treatment time.
Most patients who are good candidates for this treatment are individuals who have mild to moderate signs of facial aging or areas of skin laxity in certain body regions who do not need or desire major surgery to attain their goals.
What are the benefits of Thermage FLX™?
Potential benefits of Thermage FLX™ treatment include:
- Reduction in signs of sagging skin
- Enhancement of jawline contour and reduction in the appearance of jowls
- Tightening of excess skin in the upper eyelids
- Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet around the eyelids
- Tightening of excess skin in the flanks (love handles) and many other body areas
- No surgery or extensive downtime is required
What does the procedure involve?
This patented radiofrequency technology creates a heating effect in the deeper layers of the skin, helping to tighten collagen within the skin and stimulate new collagen production, ultimately giving the skin a smoother, firmer appearance while aiding the skin's ability to maintain the results for a long period of time. With a new, vibrating hand piece that is guided over the treatment area, the Thermage FLX™ system enhances patient comfort during the procedure and results in a 25 percent reduction in overall treatment time.
New Ultherapy Protocols For Lifting Skin And Improving Lines
What is Ultherapy™?
Ultherapy™, also known as Ulthera™, utilizes ultrasonic waves to rejuvenate areas of skin that are showing signs of drooping or skin laxity. This procedure can be a very effective alternative to invasive surgery for patients who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. Designed to lift and tighten skin that has lost some of its elasticity, Ultherapy™ is most commonly used on the face, neck and décolleté. The procedure involves no needles and no downtime. Ultherapy™ stimulates the skin to encourage the growth of natural collagen and regenerate healthier skin layers, ultimately give the skin a natural "lift" for a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Benefits of Ultherapy™
For patients with more subtle signs of facial aging and those who are beginning to experience wrinkles and skin laxity, Ultherapy™ can provide a number of benefits, including:
- Stimulation of collagen to replenish and smooth skin
- Non-invasive – no surgery
- Results continue to improve naturally and gradually over time
- No recovery time is typically necessary
Wedding Packages For Picture Perfect Skin
To ensure picture perfect skin on your big day, skin care preparation should begin months before saying I Do! Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center offers a variety of non-surgical, customizable bridal packages to help you and your wedding party look picture perfect for your special day. From laser rejuvenation and tattoo removal to dermal fillers and body contouring, our skin experts can develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals within your time line for your big day. Non-surgical treatment options are available for the bride, groom, mother of the bride, members of the bridal party and wedding guests.
Leg Veins
What is Sclerotherapy, How Does it Work?
Sclerotherapy is a method of treating one of the most common skin conditions we face: spider veins and reticular veins. Spider veins are small, fine, thin veins that often appear in the ankles, calves, and thighs, and can be purple and/or red in color. They often resemble spider webs on the skin, and can sometimes be painful. Reticular leg veins are the slightly larger, blue-to-blue-green veins that feed into spider veins. Leg veins can be caused by certain medications, prolonged standing or sitting, hormonal shifts, weight gain and heredity.Sclerotherapy works to reduce the appearance of spider veins and reticular veins, giving the skin a healthier aesthetic appearance.
After the skin of the treatment area has been pulled taut, a chemical solution, Asclera (polidocanol), is injected with a tiny needle into the vein. This procedure ultimately causes the veins to be reabsorbed by the body, thereby diminishing their appearance. Unlike hypertonic saline, another sclerotherapy solution, Asclera has less side effects and is dramatically more comfortable during treatment. Depending on the extent of the spider and reticular veins, most patients will see results about two to three weeks after treatment. Multiple treatments may be required.
Laser Vein Therapy – Fine spider veins that are not being "fed" by reticular leg veins can also be treated with laser vein therapy, a non-invasive, virtually painless procedure that uses light energy pulses to eradicate spider veins. The heat and light emitted from the laser causes the spider veins to collapse and their appearance to fade away. Laser vein therapy typically takes at least two treatment sessions for optimal results and most patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) For Hair Loss And Skin Rejuvenation
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy + Eclipse MicroPen™ for Skin Rejuvenation
Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center is now performing microneedling with PRP to address a number of aesthetic concerns for men and women. These innovative treatments are a proactive, non-surgical therapeutic option for male and female patients to reduce signs of aging and revitalize the skin for an overall healthier glow and appearance. Our board-certified dermatologists are available to perform this procedure on a variety of facial and body areas.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy works hand-in-hand with our Eclipse MicroPen™ procedure to renew and rejuvenate the skin with beautiful results. While the microneedling procedure can be effective on its own, cosmetic outcomes are improved with the addition of platelet-rich plasma. This minimally invasive treatment can effectively rejuvenate the skin without the need for surgery or long recovery times, (the natural healing powers of your own blood work to improve areas affected by fine lines) leading to a more refreshed and vibrant appearance.
What does the procedure involve?
PRP with microneedling, also known as the vampire facial, is an in-office procedure that can often be completed in as little as 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of treatment areas. The PRP contains natural growth factors that expedite the body's own repair process and stimulates new collagen and elastin once released into the skin.
Eclipse MicroPen™ is guided over the treatment area, creating microscopic channels in the skin's surface layers. While the microneedling technique helps promote the growth of new collagen and elastin in the skin, the addition of the PRP further enhances the skin's ability to repair and renew itself. Once the microneedling is performed, another layer of PRP is placed on the area to complete the process. Ultimately, this combination of techniques may lead to the growth of healthier skin cells and a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
While some swelling and redness can be expected in the treated areas, these effects should diminish over the next few days. Our practitioners typically recommend a series of treatment sessions staged over a number of weeks to produce optimal results.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma for hair loss is an innovative technique to assist individuals experiencing certain degrees of hair loss. This treatment can be performed in areas of thinning or receding hair to stimulate the supply of blood and nutrients back to the hair follicles and stimulate growth.
The procedure is performed in-office and total time depends on the size and number of scalp areas being treated. A series of about three treatments, spaced over three months, is often necessary for the best possible outcome. Annual maintenance treatments are recommended for longer lasting results.
Laser Tattoo Removal + The PFD Patch
Laser tattoo removal shatters tattoo ink into smaller particles enabling the body's immune system to break down the ink, causing the tattoo to gradually fade. Using new Picosecond technology in combination with the Describe PFD Patch results in tattoos being removed in half the number of treatment sessions than as required with traditional technology!
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the reduction of submental fullness (excess fat under the chin). KYBELLA® is designed to dissolve fat under the chin without the need for liposuction or surgery. Our experienced dermatologists at Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center were among the first physicians in the nation to become certified to administer KYBELLA® treatment and also serve as KYBELLA® injectable trainers.
What are the benefits of KYBELLA®?
The appearance of a "double-chin" is extraordinarily common, even in patients who are of a healthy weight. A "double-chin" often affects the entire facial aesthetic and makes people very self-conscious about the way they look. KYBELLA® offers a way to significantly reduce excess fat in the area and beautifully improve the profile of your face. Benefits of this procedure include:
- Reduction of excess fat under the chin for a more contoured facial appearance
- Surgery is not required
- Quick, in-office procedure
- The results are permanent
How is the KYBELLA® procedure performed?
Our board-certified dermatologist inject KYBELLA® into targeted areas of unwanted fat with a fine needle. The in-office procedure typically takes about 20 minutes or less, depending on the size of the area being treated. KYBELLA®, formerly known as ATX-101, is a customized injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in our bodies and helps break down dietary fat. KYBELLA® works to effectively eliminate excess fat cells, thereby destroying their ability to store or accumulate fat. Once destroyed, the treated fat cells are eliminated from the body through normal metabolic processes.
It is important to note that while many patients may benefit from KYBELLA®, it may not be the ideal procedure for everyone. Patients with loose skin under the chin rather than excess fat may not be candidates for KYBELLA®. Our dermatologists will meet with you for an initial consultation to discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and determine whether KYBELLA® is the best treatment option for you.

my wonderfully good friend, nick (the beautifully backlit boy above) puts on operas. i'm astounded by their talent. and their ability to take a room, a parachute, and a spectacular group of musicians, and put on a humblingly-incredible show.
in about a month, opera cabal will be having a benefit. i cannot wait to go to a swanky manhattan high-rise apartment for what is sure to be a great party. nick tells epic tales of these parties. (which is actually more telling of nick than of these parties.) they will be hosting an auction of various arty goods and services, among them a new knit clutch i've been thinking about. hopefully.
i'm looking forward to a long weekend in new york... i will surely be able to walk around and enjoy the city a bit. it's been far far too long since i've been.
(i have high hopes for tomorrow.) a happy day to you all.

Choosing Homerton
Corporate inductionThe corporate induction programme runs twice a month.
Knowledge and skills framework (KSF)We are guided by the Agenda for Change system of grading and salary levels introduced in 2004. This includes KSF, a part of which is designed to identify the knowledge and skills needed for an individual to apply and undertake within their role. This framework enables you to develop your own personal development plan through the process of annual reviews,
A guide to what Agenda for Change is and how it works is available at the NHSEmployers website
Personal development coursesThese workshop style courses help you hone your skills and to be more effective in your work role. Focussing on the needs of the group you will be expected to exchange ideas with other participants and practice the concepts covered in the sessions. As with all learning and development courses that we offer, they will be a part of your own KSF outline.
Leadership and management coursesThe Learning and Development team is charged with increasing the leadership and management resource at Homerton. Our managers/leaders are competent to lead, manage and coach their staff to enable them ultimately to contribute positively to the constant improvement of patient care.
Learning opportunities aim to be in line with their current and future development and to provide them with relevant knowledge and skills within a supportive, challenging and developmental environment that promotes greater self -awareness, creativity and flexibility.
Information TechnologyMuch of our work involves computer programmes such as the Electronic Patient Record System (EPR), the Electronic Staff Record (ESR), and Healthroster. There are many terminals available around the Trust and you will always have access to one.
The IT courses at Homerton help you make the most of the technology which we use to ensure wards are fully staffed and patient records are completely up to date.

ApprenticeshipsLearning is no longer confined to the classroom. We live in a competitive world where individuals need to raise and maintain their skills to enhance employability, and businesses need to invest in learning and training to improve productivity and competitiveness.
Lifelong learning is the key - people need to get into the habit of not just acquiring a good basic education but continuing to learn and develop throughout their working life. A vital element is good quality qualifications that are recognised and valued by individuals and employers.
Apprenticeships are nationally-designed programmes, tailored for full-time employees. They aim to give employees the opportunity to:

You cannot make it, It comes like a hurricane #5-6.
The poet is just the receiver. Places, Time , dreams and Life is the creator(s)
Here is one that comes to mind.
watching the news is very depressing today. another shooter in PA.
I wasn't born in the U-S-A.
I was born across the sea.
But I fell in love with a beautiful Lady
and the USA has grown on me.
and Nobody can tell me
I don't have the right.
To love you my Lady
as much as I do.
when you open your arms and you show me the light...
You give me the right to be in Love with You.
This one come to me.. on 9-11 watching... the twins from the NJ Turnpike...
Enough with Poetry....
Back to Geometry.
Framing ,Drywall installation. Cabinets etc etc.
Where NOTHING is straight and we all know that...
But we approach the job like everything is OK.
Nothing but problems that creates more and at the end
and we end up with caulking and more of it....
Trying to close the gaps and hope that nobody will see it.
After all, the framers are to blame? Or the masons?
Most of the re-construction and remodeling starts with a demo.
A bad demo will destroy the framing ( look at the diy shows)
and the drywall will cover it up. 4-5 coats of JC and few coats of paint later...
we end -up with a wavy ceiling and crooked walls.
Were nothing fits right and everything has to get trimmed and fit.
I remember once where my team was rebuilding a Brownstone house
in North NJ...The sower Glass installer was screaming non stop.
"I can't believe it!!! I can't believe it!!!"
The home owners was terriified and asked me what is going on here?
I was so sure that my work was 100% ready and I told them that he may
had found a historical artifact...who knows?
Few minutes later the homeowners started to repeat...
"We can't believe it....
The ceiling, floor, walls and knee walls ( Custom Shower)
in a 150+ old house was ( level and straight )..
Perfect for the custom doors and Glass walls with no need of Caulking.
To be continue with drywall installation tricks.

There is nothing really new in this first installment, for the people who are not blinded by US propaganda and bad western complacent journalism, in the latest leaks from Wikileaks.
Here is a short summary:
1. The Guardian quotes the leaks saying that Arab leaders are urging the US for a strike on Iran. Well actually, they might add 'Some' and we know who are these Arab leaders (Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, mainly)
2. Le Monde quotes one cable relating a meeting between US and Israeli officials on Iran: Israel is pushing the US for a harsher stance on Iran arguing that the politics of engaging Iran is simply buying time for Iran and is asking for GBU-28 bombs capable of reaching Iranian bunkers. These bombs will be given to Israel, by the US, in May 2010.
3. The documents reveal also that Saudi donors remain chief financiers of terror groups like Al-Qaida.
4. Angry Arab is publishing on his blog information from cables relating to Israel, Lebanon and the Middle East.
5. The US is conducting a covert war in Yemen: ''One cable records that during a meeting in January with General David Petraeus, then US commander in the Middle East, Yemeni president Abdullah Saleh said: "We'll continue saying they are our bombs, not yours."
3. The US and the UK know that Pakistan's nuclear capacity might have ended up in the hands of small hostile groups
7.Suspicions over Afghan leaders' corruption...well that's really old news...and to be for such a long time at the stage of suspicions and do nothing is irresponsible...
8. The US is critical toward allies' military operations and leadership in Afghanistan (especially the UK)...When things go wrong, blame others...
9. The 'diplomatic' cables label Putin as an 'Alpha-dog', Karzai as 'paranoid', and Ahmadi-Nejad as 'Hitler'...
10. Ghaddafi is always accompanied by a 'voluptuous Ukrainian blonde nurse'...
11. Spying on the UN...
12. Other items are related to the 'special relationship' with the UK:
They include high-level allegations of corruption against foreign leaders, harsh criticisms and frank insights into the world of normally- secret diplomacy.
Among literallyscores of revelations which may cause uproar, some will be particularly dismaying in Britain. They include:
• Highly critical private remarks about David Cameron and George Osborne's "lack of depth", made by Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, to the US ambassador.
• A scornful analysis of UK "paranoia" over the US-UK so-called special relationship. It is suggested that "keeping HMGthe British government "off-balance" about itthe relationship might be a good idea.
• US shock at the rude behaviour of Prince Andrew when abroad.
• Secret US military missions flown from a UK base, which Britain alleged could involve torture.
• A plan to deceive the British parliament over the use of banned US weapons.

|My Editing Approach
I place a high priority on keeping the author's original voice and maintaining their structure, ideas, and language as much as possible. Whether a work is informational, inspirational, or somewhere in between, I believe it's important for the language to be tight, clear, appropriate, and accurate.
No matter how many changes are made, authors should always be able to recognize their work as their own and approve of any changes made.
Gary Kamia has a wonderful article in Salon magazine that describes the work good editors do and helps sum up my editing style. The Washington Post also has a great article on the importance of good editing.
Feel free to drop me an e-mail, and we'll talk about your editing needs!

It's the conundrum of cat owners the world over – you've booked a trip away and now you need to decide on your holiday cat care. Obviously you've got 3 main choices:
- Take them with you. Yeah, but that's not really an option is it? How many hotels do you know that let you bring your cat? This is how many I know of……ZERO
- Send them on holidays to a cattery or to your vet's
- Get a professional cat sitter to visit your home, or if you have willing and able family or friends rope them in to do it for free.
Your decision is going to be based on many things including:
- How long you're going for?
- Have you got anyone who you can rely on to look after your furry friend?
- Is there room in your holiday budget to pay for care for The Cat?
- How does your Favourite Feline handle strangers?
- How do they feel about travelling in a car and that dreaded cage?
- What time of the day are you leaving and expect to return?
Most cats dislike any interruption to their routine, even though it appears their routine involves a lot of sleeping, and surely that can be done anywhere right? Yes, but your cat likes the same feeding time, in the same spot, from the same bowl, with the same food. They also like the same smells that are at home, the same familiar noises and of course all Their Stuff is at home. Because of this whenever Mr Pet Parent and I go anywhere we try to arrange to leave Pussa & Soph in situ and convince one of our family members to either stay at our place, or visit every day. We even had my 18 year-old nephew look after them for a few days over Christmas. Our optimism at him taking on this responsibility was well founded given that he neither locked himself out, nor let Pussa or Soph escape through the front door. The only evidence of his visit was a Chupa Chup left in the pantry and bottle of beer in the fridge. However, if you haven't got family of this ilk or understanding friends, then there are bound to be some reputable cat sitting services in your local area. Try to make sure that they come with a recommendation from someone you know who has used them before. You are of course letting them into your house as well as leaving the well-being of your furry friends in their hands so they need to be trustworthy. Most of these service providers will let you nominate whether you want daily or twice-daily visits, and will often do a few other bits and pieces for you – collect mail, water the plants, bring the bins in etc. Whoever is doing the caring, make sure they have your vet's contact details, understand the feeding regime, how you want the litter attended to and of course how to contact you in case of emergency.
Getting your cats taken care of at home has the added advantage of not having to take and collect them from the cattery. This can be problematic if you need to depart early or are returning late, especially if it's on a weekend or public holiday. Many catteries will have set opening hours and this often means you have to add an extra night or two to their stay to work around those times. However, when you've got no other options or you need someone to administer medication for example, then a cattery or your vet is going to be your best bet. Do make sure that you visit the facility before you book anything. You want to make sure it's clean, see the size of the enclosure, understand what your cat can bring with them, what the protocols are if they get sick etc. The boarding facility should be very strict on only letting animals stay who are up to date with their vaccinations to avoid the spread of anything nasty.
Ultimately, you know your cat best and what they can deal with and what makes them freak. Still, circumstances are sometimes such that you need to go for your second best option. Rest assured though that most cats will usually settle down in a new environment after a day or so.
If you're one of the thousands of people who will be heading off on holidays at Easter, enjoy the break, eat an obscene amount of chocolate and bring your cat back a treat too.

"When I first began my career in the UK, I never thought about working internationally — I only thought about what I could and couldn't do. Becoming the General Manager in North America for InMobi, and seeing the scale on which New York operated, changed me. However, simply shifting locations changes your perception of what is possible. All of the anchors in your life change, and that forces you to rethink. I was no longer bounded by what I could and couldn't do — it was what I can do, and what I hadn't yet learned. If you don't try, you are never going to get there."
Robin: What does Protean do and why is it important?
Richard: Throughout their careers, most people have ideas that they never get the time to act on. For me, Protean is that idea. It is the culmination of having worked across the globe and observing trends. Protean is a vehicle for advice without bias or pretence that gives people the sounding board they need to take the next informative step. We make the link between an ambiguous situation and an effective, versatile outcome.
There are three core value propositions around Protean's strategy and development. The first is a hands-off market entry approach — mapping out a market for someone else to execute against. The second is a hands-on implementation of business development. I can get my hands dirty, grow the company and then enable you to hire your team — working as an activist MD and the first person on the ground for companies looking to move into APAC. The third role is taking a media advisory position. For a young company with a great idea, I might do that pro-bono. If the company has investment, that becomes a paid consultancy project.
Robin: Why is APAC different — why focus on helping companies enter that market?
Richard: There is significant diversity in Europe, but everyone tries to equate that to, and underestimates, the diversity in APAC. In reality, Europe is quite homogenous — all the markets are fairly advanced and English is a de facto language, particularly in business. Outside of Russia, there are very few closed markets.
The thing about APAC is that you can't go in with what you know — you have to learn. You have to learn from everyone you meet, language, culture, business etiquette etc. It isn't just another different region for business — every market within APAC should be treated differently. Malaysia, for example, is sophisticated and mature, however, its growth potential is minimised against a market like Thailand — but, Thailand is an entirely different game because of the language barrier. On the reverse side, you have Australia, which is challenging because it is a highly competitive, a top performing innovative market but dominated by very few media/ tech players. India, with a billion plus people by contrast — and very little of what you learn there can be directly transferred to a place like Singapore.
China is the second largest ad market in the world and the second largest programmatic market by revenue; Japan is third. But, both come with huge challenges. You have to take a situational leadership style and adapt yourself to those markets, and you can't expect to dominate everything. In every market you enter, you are going to face new competitors, new entrants, different regulations, different cultures, different languages, different norms, and new demand-side partners. This, coupled with the growing significance of the region, is why there are a number of companies emerging as entry experts — 'gatekeepers'. There are companies that specialise in a particular market — China, for example. Russia and Japan are two other countries that need specific gatekeepers. However, this logic applies to the entirety of APAC. You need someone who can act as a translator — not just for language and culture, but also for relationships.
Robin: How is the market changing and where do you see your future?
Richard: The big change that has happened is that disruption has become the norm — not the exception. It is affecting every industry — people need to be versatile and adaptable, and that needs to come through in their experience as well as their education. Some companies sit on the sidelines and wait for trends. One thing I learned from my time at InMobi is the necessity to take 'moon-shots'. Being okay with failure is a key to success — or at least to innovation. It is important to know how to pivot. That is a skill every company needs to understand.
Data, machine learning and automation are all technological developments that are looking to accelerate the new norm of continuous disruption. For me, that creates specific challenges for APAC and further complicates attempts by European and US-based companies to enter the market. As VC money and exits constrict, the need for people to act as 'gatekeepers' to navigate markets or niches will expand.
In my last role, and through Protean, I have been involved in identifying gatekeepers — in both China and Japan specifically, but in other markets as well. My goal is to solve problems in ad-tech for businesses looking to expand into, or out, of APAC. My role, Protean's role, is to be the link between an ambiguous situation and an effective, versatile outcome for a company or brand. The outcome can be solved for by Protean or through its myriad of relationships, partnerships globally, meaning it acts at the horizontal level. For example while I am not a specialist on China I am aware of the landscape and I'm connected first hand to experts who are, and Protean works together with them in partnership. Where Protean needs to focus is in creating structure around partnerships with specialists and the future for me is very much around curating that framework.
Richard O'Sullivan has spent nearly two decades working at the intersection of media and technology. He is now the Principal & Managing Director of Protean Consulting — a strategic advisory firm that specialises in early-stage tech-companies and is uniquely positioned to help global firms understand and penetrate APAC.
Richard's journey has taken him from London to Dubai, Singapore, New York and now Australia. He spent nearly five years leading operations for InMobi in different capacities ranging from APAC, North America, North Africa and EMEA before becoming Global SVP for Leadbolt. Insightive.tv's Robin Block sat down with Richard to discuss the building businesses in APAC and his expectations for the future.
