I'm going to have a full tummy tuck and 330cc high profile gummy bear implants. The Natrelle 410. I"m 5'3" and 125 lbs. I have 2 children 9 and 13.
I have been stalking this site for 2 months now. I pulled the trigger and paid my surgeon in full. So there's no turning back. My surgery is only a week and a half away. I've told the people close to me what I'm having done since I'm going to be MIA for a month. They all have been very supportive and non judgmental and some very excited and some very scared for me. I've told my children and they are surprisingly ok with it too. I figured I had to tell them so they don't freak out when I all of the sudden show up all bandaged up like a mummy.
The closer I get to the surgery date, the more nervous I get. I think ugg, do I really want to put myself through that pain? Then I see the girls at the pool and on this website my age that look great and I think hey! that could be me! I work out and eat healthy but my pooch doesn't go away! Don't forget the cow utters that I have for boobs! I didn't always look this way. Before children I was fit, 117 lbs, flat abs and perky breasts. Now I look like a melting candle.
I am an RN and I used to work for a recovery center that cosmetic surgery patients come and stay post op. The PS I chose is one of PSs that I recovered patients for. His patients incisions are always very fine. Their pain was minimal and they were walking that night after surgery. He is very honest and really cares for his patients. I trust him and I know that I'm in good hands. But I still dread being under for 5 hours! What if I wake up in excruciating pain? What if I can't handle it?What if something goes wrong? A lot of what If's.
I've read that the first 48 Hrs are going to be hell. I just hope I can keep up the meds or just be knocked out. Wish me luck!
I'm going to have a full tummy tuck and 330cc high...

I literally just finished my procedure. BA and full tummy w/ muscle repair. I had the same fears as you and I woke up. It hurt a little, but not horrible. It started to hurt when I was leaving, but I took pain meds and the pain went away. Hurts when I walk. Just really tired and don't want to talk that's about it. So far it's only day of surgery. You will do fine. I don't remember we anything after meeting the antistisiologist sc. Sorry. I'm a worry wart so you be fine.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad the procedure went well for you. Heal well

Hey there!! I'm from San Jose and have met Jasmine and Dr. Beck. I am still deciding my doc. My surgery is going to be end of October so I can make use of the Thxgiving break for additional recovery. I'm a working mom. I'm soooo glad to have your review. You will do really well!!! Have you rented the recliner, bought a walker and a toilet seat riser. I hear these 3 help a lot.
I have a recliner. I'm going to buy a shower seat. I have a very supportive husband who will be helping me. My mother will also be helping . So no walker for me right now.
Ok. Btw I forgot to tell you that I'm 5-3 and 122/125 pounds too. But i have a lot more stretch marks than you do and will be getting a BL too. Total surgery time both docs have estimated to be 6 hrs..I have the same nervousness as you do. I won't be telling any friends family except hubby of course. I'm telling my inlaws who are in town that I'm getting appendix surgery or some such :-)

I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf! I know days leading up to pre-op can be nerve-wracking.
You might want to check out this (humorous) post about the different emotional stages of an MM.
And, on a more useful note, here's a great post by Blonde in Bluffton about her first three days after surgery.
One week away!
Yes I am in an emotional roller coaster ride! I've just got a couple days of work left and then I'll be off for one month. Too bad I can go on a nice vacation too. But I guess it's a get away. Get away from this bode lol!

I am so glad you are going to take care of your self. All I could think of was what many other ways to use the surgery money. My husband said he would rather me feel satisfied than us go buy some oy or electronic, especially after daily religious workouts. Recovery was not as bad as expected. I drank tons of ice water and slept the first three days away only to be woken up by hubby for pills. When i was finally awake really the pain was much less than expected. Stick to no/low sodim and drink your water and the swelling will not plague you. I anticipate you will be very pleased with your results. Best wishes!
Thanks for the tips!
Good luck you and and your upcoming surgery! I am 2 weeks post op today, I had the sand worries as you but go over them before my surgery day, was not really in too much pain when I woke up from surgery, more groggy and in and out if sleep that first day and night. Stayed overnight in the hospital which was great! The first couple days are hard, but slowly each day improves! I'm still walking hunched over a little, but overall just more soreness then anything in tummy and boobs. I am very happy with my results so far. Again good luck to you and I will follow your journey :)
Boob greed!
I think I'm developing boob greed. I agreed on the allergan 410 MF with 335cc. I'm currently a 34b/ 32c. What will the implants get me ?
Read 3 Comments
I started as a very small 34a and got 400cc silicone behind the muscle and I am currently at 2 weeks out a full 34c, small d in Victoria's Secret. In other brands a d. But I wanted to be a full c so I am happy :)
I'll talk to my ps about being bigger. Thanks for the input :)
Yep :)
4 days away what!!
So I owned up to having my procedure. I got mixed feelings from everyone but that was what I expected. I'm very excited to have my mommy makeover. Since people are going to talk anyway, I thought it would be best if they heard it from me. So if you think did she? Yes I did. I can't wait to see the new me. I've been working out, eating healthy, and cocktails. I got everything I pretty much need for surgery. I'm very blessed to have supportive people to help me out ( my hubby and mom). Just 2 more days of work then I'll be off for a month . Yippee!

Day of sugery
I haven't had much sleep for the past 2 days. Now I'm up at 430am and wishing I would be able to close my eyes for another hour. Bit no success.
I've showered with chlohexidine and wiped myself with the wipes. One more again this morning. I've packed my meds and make up. Although I'm not sure why I packed my make up? Just in case I guess. My hubby is right I am such a girly girl.
I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to wait up to a new me.
I got things pretty set up at home. We bought a recliner . I've placed a shelf next to so whatever I need is with in reach. Shower chair is in shower. Low sodium, high protien snacks and lots of water. I got all my great tips from all of gals! So thanks so much for all of your bravery, strength and getting through your own procedure and then shraring it for the rest of us. It takes a lot of courage to be able to do that and you all are an inspiration for me.
I will update with my post op photo. Hopefully I can come to enough to manage my phone. Ok wish me luck!

Increased boob size
Because of everyone's advice and for the fact I plan to excerise vigorously after my ps has given me the green light, I went with the Natrelle 410 mx in 375cc. This implant has an extra high projection and an increase in 50cc. I plan to go under muscle via inframmary incision. I some weight lifting and I know going to lose some breast volume for that. So I hope this will compensate for it. Well we'll see. Mt hubby is so worried that I'll end up looking like Pamela Anderson . Which I don't want that look either. I just want curves where they are suppose be with a little oomph!

I actually went with 335cc. My doctors recommended it. I'm glad I took his advice. I'm very happy with my results. My pain is well controlled with my pain meds. Incision looks great . I've been pretty much sleeping on and off. Drinking lots and lots of water. Peeing lots too. I'm walking around hunched over and my back is killing like everyone said it would. But it's all with it. Here some of my post op pics. I'm not comfortable taking off my binders yet. May be tomorrow :)

Bladder Spasms
Ever since my Foley catheter was taken out , I've developed bladder spasm. I have increased urgency and have to every 5 minutes! My poor hubby keeps getting up and the putting me back in my recliner. I apologize for being annoying . He just helps me with a smile! Doesn't complain but is glad he can be there for me. I'm the luckest girl in the world. I just took a muscle relaxer. Hopefully it will work! My back is killing me :(

Congrats!!! I'm sure your results will be amazing.
Camping in the living room
My hubby and kids slept near by on the couch and on the floor. They wanted to near by to help .
My bladder spasms hasn't stopped! I get every 5 minutes feeling like I'm going to fill up the whole toilet bowl. But with all the effort and drama, I only can produce a couple off cc.
I left a message at the doctors office. I hope I don't have a uti. That would suck badly but I guess the antibiotics will stop the cramping and the feeling I'm going to pee on myself

I had similar peeing issues throughout the first week after surgery, and it was so annoying! I thought I had a UTI as well, but I didn't! Something that helped me was to just sit on the potty for as long as I could and pee, then wait and pee more. I know it hurts to use your abdominal muscles, but I found that if I actually concentrated on peeing and used those muscles, I was able to produce more urine in one sitting! Wicked annoying but it got better for me after a few days! Good luck!
Thanks I will try that
I'm glad others have this problem. I swear I am up every 20 minutes at least going pee. Sometimes I just feel like I have to go and sit there for 5 minutes with no results. My husband keeps telling me I need a catheter so I can rest more.
All I want to do is pee
I've read many stories about having a difficulty time pooping but never about peeing. My poor hubby got me up every 15 minutes to get me to the bathroom. I felt like was going to explode! I called my ps told me to go to the ER. They ended up putting a foley in and got 1200cc out! Thank god for the foley . No more bladder spasms! Yay!

I feel better today. I pooped last night. I'm on my way. I had a very good nights sleep after taking some lunesta. I'm down to taking only one Percocet every 6 hours instead 2 every 4 hours. My belly looks nice and small but seems very high. Hopefully it'll go down after I straighten out some more. How did it take you guys to straighten out. I want to but I'm afraid to pop my stitch.

Wow looking good. Had my TT yesterday. I feel pretty good. Hunched, but not as bad as I thought. Happy healing..
I'm straightening out but still a little hunched over. Getting better everyday. You definitely have to be patient. Even this not a "quick fix". It's a lot of work. Bit it's going to be worth it!!
Back pain
I've been trying to wean myself off my Percocet. Took only 2 tabs yesterday . I started taking extra strength Tylenol . I slept pretty good last night. I had best sleep I had in a long time these past few nights. My back is killing me. It hurts more than the tt . I'm standing up straighter but boy does my back ache! My chest feels tighter this morning and I'm making sure I take deep breaths. Oh yeah my hubby pulled out my foley yesterday and I've been peeing on my own! (Knock on wood) maybe I'll take a shower today. I've been cleared but was hurting too much to try. I probably feel better after. This mommy makeover is no joke. You really can't to this on your own. You definitely need someone there with 24/7. I'm lucky because I have my parents and my wonderful hubby. My mom does all the cooking and cleaning and my hubby empty my drains and cleans me after I go to the bathroom. He makes sure I'm comfortable and taking my meds.

Post op appointment
I saw my ps today. It felt to get dressed and go outside. Everyone has been treating me like a "sick" person. My boobs look huge under my dress. My ps says everything looks good. And it does! My incision is so thin. My ps cleaned it and reapplied tegaderm dressing which i think stabilizes the wound very well. I'm down to 2 percocets a day. i wish I could stand up straighter. My upper abdomen feels so tight. I feel like if I stand up any straighter I will pull myself apart. Otherwise so far so good and I'm a happy girl

Up and out
I have been feeling well enough to go to Walmart and I even got Mani/ pedi yesterday! Which felt awesome. I still walk slightly hunched over. My husbands says not to worry because people prob think that I have scoliosis or something! As if that's better! My ps cautioned me about going out and doing too much. He says there's a high risk for seroma with can affect the healing process significantly. It feels good to be out but I must remember my ps knows best. I've been getting this sharp pain in my left side. But apparently it's just my tissues reconnecting. My boobs look good. They're softening up. I'm also starting to feel my incisions. I'm applying silicone tape on them now. Heard they are very good since there's a lot if science behind it.. We will see. I got one of my drains takes out yesterday which was a snap. It wasn't uncomfortable at all. I get my other drain out tuesday. I can't wait to wear regular clothes and go clothes shopping and try this new body out. I only wish I could stand up straight. It's still very tight in upper abdomen right under the breast bone. I've been taking norco 3 times a day since I've been up and about. It works really well. My back pain is much better. It's getting better everyday . Thank god.

Drains out!
I woke up with awful pain in my right pelvic area. I notice my drain had no output. It was tender to the touch and I was oozing from the drain site. I called Dr. Beck. He said for me to come see him. I was like its Sunday! He wanted to make sure I was ok and didnt care that it was Sunday. He took my drain out. Thank god there was no seroma . I felt so much better after. I am very thankful for Dr. Beck. Now that my drains are both out, I feel more like myself . I am very happy with my results.

Wow looking Fab!! Sounds like a great Dr. ;)!!! Gosh life begins woth no drains. glad they are out!! Ur not too far from I'm in SJ. We're on our way!!!
Dr. Beck is the greatest . He's in foster city now at his new office. I recommended him before I had surgery. His results are always very good and he strives for perfection:)
Feel 80%
I got up made some pancakes. Showering by myself without getting winded. Spending time off the recliner. I finally made it to my own bed yesterday. it feels so good to be able to sleep in my own bed! Now if i can only sleep on my side it would be perfect!!I still feel exhausted at the end of the day but its getting much better.

Hi you look great! Looks like the bb positioning was not an issue after all. I'm happy for you! Happy healing!
Wow! You look really good! I'm glad your starting to feel better.

I feel so good! My advice for you all would be walk, walk, walk. But also take it easy. I still have some swelling in my pelvic area but mostly has gone down. My only concern is that my breast still feel very firm. Does it ever soften anymore? Anyways here are more pics :)

Thank you everyone for the nice comments!
Is the vertical scar where your old belly button was? You look fabulous btw!
Yes it was. There was not much skin above my belly button that's why I needed the vertical scar. But it was well worth it to get rid of a lot of skin below my belly button
Bra shopping!
Got fitted at VS and Im a size 34D what!!!!!!! I got very cute bras. I signed up for a credit card which i seldom do. But its fun shopping for bras now and you get coupons off new bras so it wasnt that bad. I paid 27.50 for each bra.. so I bought 3. My PS says I have to wear my "medical" bra for another 2 weeks and Im getting so tired of wearing it. My nipples show right through. My only problem is getting clothes that will fit my boobs and tiny waist. BOO HOO for me lol!

Holy shnikeyz...you look amazing. Hey, what kind of silicone strips are you using? Those look nice..and I'm not the search for some good one's :)
Thank you. I purchase mine on amazon. They are called scar away strips. They come in 1 inch X 7inches. I cut them to size and wear them 24hrs a day. I cycle between 2 sets. They are washable and each "set" should last 7 days each. I got 3 sets that includes using them on my breast incision . I just purchased a new box because they are slightly losing their tackiness. Tip* after I wash them , I hang them on the towel rack sticky side up

Off my pain meds. I feel good except when I'm sitting around for awhile. I get really stiff but it goes away once I get get up and walk around . There is still swelling in my hips more on the left than right. Swelling in my pubic area is still there but very mild. I applied some lotion onto my stomach which keeps it from feeling so rubbery. I'm due back to work wednesday but is very nervous about having to lift people but we'll see.

Study Reveals African-Americans Wait Longer To Be Exonerated

Murder Convictions Vacated for Two Washington, D.C. Men

Two Dallas Men Released After Serving 15 Years
Posted: October 28, 2014 4:28 pm

Dennis Lee Allen and Stanley Orson Mozee walked out of a Dallas County courtroom today after the judge ruled that their murder convictions from 2000 should be overturned based on previously withheld evidence. The Innocence Project and the Innocence Project of Texas had petitioned for the pair's release based on evidence that indicates serious prosecutorial misconduct, which was discovered in the prosecutor's original file under the "open file" policy adopted by District Attorney Craig Watkins in 2008, as well as the favorable results of recent DNA testing on bloodstains and other key evidence from the crime scene. District Attorney Watkins and his Conviction Integrity Unit agreed that the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence and joined the lawyers for Mozee and Allen in seeking today's ruling that the pair did not receive a fair trial on that basis.
Among the contents in former Assistant District Attorney Rick Jackson's file were letters from jailhouse informants seeking reduced sentences in exchange for their testimony. At the trial, the informants, Zane Smith and Lonel Hardeman, claimed to have heard Allen and Mozee admitting to the murder, and in response to questioning by Jackson, swore to the jury that they didn't receive, or even seek, any favorable treatment for their testimony. These letters were never disclosed during the 2000 trial, despite orders from the judge to turn over prior statements made by all witnesses, and the two inmates have since told defense attorneys their initial testimony was false.
Allen and Mozee were convicted of the 1999 murder of Reverend Jesse Borns Jr., despite a lack of physical evidence connecting them to the crime. Borns was stabbed to death outside a store where he worked. In addition to a lack of evidence linking Allen and Mozee to the murder, there were no witnesses who placed them at the scene of the crime. Ultimately, the two men were convicted based largely on testimony from jailhouse informants and an unrecorded confession from Mozee, who has a history of mental illness. Shortly after he confessed, Mozee recanted and said he was coerced into signing a statement written out for him by police.
The legal organizations performed DNA testing on a trove of physical evidence recovered from the scene, and none of the items came from the two defendants. However, DNA from one or more persons that does not match the defendants or the victim was identified on several items including a bloodstain from the scene, a hammer found next to the victim's body, and a hair underneath the victim's fingernails, potentially from a close-range struggle in which the victim suffered numerous defensive wounds to his hands.
In today's proceeding, Dallas County District Judge Mark Stoltz issued findings of fact and conclusions of law, and recommended that the convictions be overturned. These findings will now go before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for review.
KTVT - CBS Dallas Ft. Worth spoke to Mozee and Allen after the hearing.
"I have no animosity toward anyone," stated Mozee on Tuesday. "As a matter of fact, I give the Dallas County judicial system a positive note, if the court of criminal appeals will act and do the just thing in this matter."
"It feels wonderful," said Allen. "I mean, it's kind of hard to explain, but try to imagine the greatest joy you have ever experienced in your life, and that's what I'm feeling right now.
Allen and Mozee were surrounded in court by family members and other Dallas area exonerees when they were released today. Among the Dallas area exonerees were Mr. Mozee's childhood friends Cornelius Dupree and Keith Turner; all three men attended Lincoln High School together in the 1970s, and all three were later freed from prison based on newly discovered evidence of their innocence.

Wide Reach of Wrongful Convictions
Posted: October 27, 2014 1:09 pm
Twenty years ago, Jennifer Thompson was a college student when she was sexually assaulted in her North Carolina apartment and burglarized. The following month, Thompson identified Ronald Cotton as the assailant and he was eventually convicted and sentenced to life plus fifty-four years. Cotton remained behind bars for a decade until DNA testing proved his innocence and identified the real perpetrator as Bobby Pool. The DNA testing also revealed that Thompson had misidentified her attacker. Thompson describes the traumatic experience of the attack and the haunting effects of wrongful conviction in an op-ed that appeared in Sunday's edition of The Hill. She writes:
My rage and hatred had been misplaced. I was wrong. I had sent an innocent man to prison. A third of his life was over, and the shame, guilt and fear began to suffocate me. I had let down everyone — the police department, the district attorney's office, the community, the other women who became victims of Bobby Poole, and especially Ronald Cotton and his family.
Several years after Ronald was freed, I received a phone call from Bobby Poole's last victim. I remember hearing her story about what happened to her and realizing that we all had left him on the streets to commit further crimes – rapes — that we possibly could have prevented if Ronald had not been locked up for something he had never done. The knowledge that Mr. Poole had been left at liberty to hurt other women paralyzed me and sent me into a backward spiral that took years to recover from.
This journey has taught me that the impact of wrongful convictions goes so much further than a victim and the wrongfully convicted. The pool of victims from 1984 was huge – me, Ron, the police department, our families, and the other women who became victims of Bobby Poole all suffered.
In the years following Cotton's release, he and Thompson forged an unlikely friendship and co-author the memoir Picking Cotton, about the harrowing experience of Thompson's misidentification. Her experience as a victim and the role she played in Cotton's wrongful conviction has shed light on the need for legislation to protect the innocent. Thompson writes:
The Justice for All Act, which is up for reauthorization by Congress, allows men like Ronald to obtain post-conviction DNA testing that can lead to their freedom and to the conviction of the guilty. Without access to such testing, innocent men will remain in prison, real perpetrators will remain free and new victims will have to experience the same horrors and indignities that I did. I urge Congress to pass the Justice For All Act now so that we can live in a world where the truly guilty are behind bars and the innocent are free.

Wrongful Convictions Give Texas Pause on Capital Punishment
Posted: October 24, 2014 1:10 pm
For years Texas has led the nation in executions, but it has also led the nation in wrongful convictions overturned by DNA. CBS-Dallas Fort-Worth reported that state experts are taking notice and reconsidering capital punishment.
Kristin Houle, executive director of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, says Texas is catching up with other states that have already moved away from the practice.
"One of the main factors driving this movement away from the death penalty, in Texas and nationally, is the rate or the incidents of wrongful convictions," Houle explained.
Houle also says there has been a decline in the number of people sentenced to death row and that the state is poised to see its lowest execution date in nearly two decades.
Eighteen people have been proven innocent and exonerated by DNA testing in the United States after serving time on death row.

Posted: October 23, 2014 6:00 pm
Texas death row inmate Max Soffar is dying of cancer and could spend the rest of days in isolation all because of a false confession he signed decades ago as a teenager. Despite evidence of his innocence in a triple murder and a confession that doesn't match the facts, Soffar has languished behind bars most of his life. In an op-ed that appeared in Wednesday's Trib Talk, a publication of the Texas Tribune, Innocence Project Co-Director Barry Scheck pleads for Governor Rick Perry to intervene by granting Soffar's release and allowing him to spend his final days at home with his wife. Scheck writes:
Proving that a confession in a death penalty case was false can be extremely difficult. For Soffar, whose case doesn't have DNA evidence to support his innocence, this has meant decades of legal work — efforts that still need more time. Time that he no longer has. For Soffar and so many others, I wish DNA evidence were as easy to come by as TV shows and movies suggest. In truth, fewer than 10 percent of crime scenes contain DNA that could identify the true perpetrator. The coffee cup, the cigarette butt — these are lucky breaks, not the norm.
While Scheck goes onto say that DNA evidence has led to the release of many innocent people, there are other things that could safeguard the criminal justice and prevent future mistakes, including mandatory video recording of interrogations from Miranda warnings forward.
But Soffar's only hope to die at home lies with the governor. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recently denied Soffar's petition for clemency. Citing the absence of an execution date for him, the board said, "It has been determined that Mr. Soffar's request will not be considered by the Board at this time." But nothing in Texas law requires Perry to accept the board's absurd refusal to decide this issue now, before Soffar dies. The governor can and should order a more comprehensive review.
Governor Perry, this isn't a question of politics, of being for or against capital punishment, or even of whether Max Soffar is guilty or innocent. It's a humanitarian appeal — an issue of mercy, compassion and human decency.
Please allow Max to die in peace, close to his loved ones who have suffered greatly for so long.

Boston Globe Says Hold Prosecutors Accountable for Errors
Posted: October 21, 2014 6:05 pm
A recent Boston Globe editorial called for prosecutors to be held accountable for miscarriages of justice that occur at their hands and specifically called out a former Berkshire County prosecutor who may have withheld exculpatory evidence in a child rape case nearly 30 years ago.
Bernard Baran Jr., an openly gay teenager, was convicted of multiple counts of child rape and spent 21 years behind bars for crimes he didn't commit. In the face of homophobia and hysteria, Baran was convicted in 1985 despite a lack of evidence linking him to the crimes. In the years following, an examination of trial records suggests that the prosecuting attorney, Daniel Ford, withheld evidence from Baran's defense attorney.
Baran was ultimately freed from prison in 2006. In the wake of his death last month, his defense lawyer, Harvey Silvergate, submitted a letter to the editor to the Globe calling for Ford to be removed from his job as a superior court judge, a position he's held since 1989. The Globe writes:
That's premature — but Silverglate and Baran's other supporters are right to seek a full, public inquiry into both the prosecution's conduct and its decision to try the case in the first place. The decision to release Baran in 2006 did not settle the question of whether Ford and the Berkshire County district attorney Gerard Downing acted appropriately, or whether the Commonwealth has adequate safeguards to prevent such a wrongful conviction again. Reviewing the long-ago prosecution now may seem pointless, since it'll be difficult to establish facts and Baran will never be able to see the results anyway. But wrongful convictions represent a serious failure of the justice system. To prevent such miscarriages of justice in the future, it's critical that the state revisit this painful episode. Whatever an investigation reveals about Ford, it's crucial for the Commonwealth to set the precedent that prosecutors will answer for their actions in cases of wrongful conviction.
In 1985, Baran worked as a teachers' aide in a day care center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. At least one of the parents of the alleged victims complained about a gay man caring for their child, going so far as to use a slur and to say that gay people should not be allowed outside. According to the editorial, videotaped interviews show that other supposed victims were coached into making accusations against Baran after first denying he did anything to them. Decades later, the allegation stands that by Ford and Downing not sharing the full videotapes with Baran's attorney, the jury was forced to believe they weren't missing anything by missing the removed sections. A claim against Baran by a young boy that ultimately was attributed to his mother's boyfriend was also withheld from Baran's defense. The Globe writes:
No matter what Ford shared with the defense lawyer, there's a broader question about his decision to charge Baran in the first place. Ford and Downing certainly knew themselves that the case rested on dubious testimony. Prosecutors are supposed to seek justice and apply good judgment, not just score convictions by any means. So why did he bring it?
The fact that Ford is now a judge is, ultimately, a coincidence. He could have gone on to be a pilot or a professor, and the concerns about his actions in the 1980s would be just as relevant today. Massachusetts has been through witch hunts before, and later sought to learn from those mistakes. But Ford's actions have never been subject of a full public investigation. It will take some courage, but the Supreme Judicial Court should investigate what happened in Pittsfield and put in place whatever trial rules it would take to prevent such a travesty from happening again.

Philadelphia Inquirer Urges Philly DA to Drop Charges Against Anthony Wright
Posted: October 17, 2014 3:40 pm
An editorial in Friday's Philadelphia Inquirer urges the city's District Attorney Seth Williams not to retry Anthony Wright, whose rape and murder convictions were overturned last month based on new DNA testing that revealed the crimes were committed by another man with a long criminal history. In addition, DNA testing of clothing alleged by police to have been worn by Wright to commit the crime now shows that the clothes were not, in fact, his. The Inquirer writes:
But the revelation that there is little if any physical evidence now linking Wright to the victim has been interpreted by prosecutors merely as proof that he had an accomplice who - incredibly - was completely unknown to Philadelphia detectives investigating the crime. No word on how the then-19-year-old Wright would know a felon roughly twice his age, nor on why he wouldn't have mentioned the accomplice when he signed a confession, later recanted, under police pressure.
It's Williams' prerogative, of course - no doubt he would say his duty as district attorney - to test his far-fetched theory before a jury in a second trial. But it would serve justice better if Williams declined to retry Wright, who has likely served a 22-year prison sentence either for a crime he did not commit or for one in which he played a far less significant role than alleged.
In any case, there is absolutely no cause for Williams' office to suggest - as it did in a filing Wednesday - that Wright may be sent to death row if the new trial yields a guilty verdict. Not only did the first jury deadlock on the death penalty without seeing the new evidence of Wright's innocence, but Pennsylvania is in the midst of a wholesale reexamination of its flawed capital punishment system - as are many states amid growing public and legal pressure to scrap executions altogether.
Williams can use the Wright case to get on the right side of that historical shift toward a more just criminal justice system.

From the beginning I made it clear I would not support any government spending bill that provided funding for ObamaCare. I stuck to that promise throughout the entire government shutdown because I believed it was the right thing to do for both our country and our community.
But while I am certainly disheartened the people of Tennessee are now going to be subjected to a law that is a complete and total train wreck, there is something else that is equally concerning.
Politicians in Washington will consume themselves over the next few weeks fretting over who the media perceives as the winners and losers of the government shutdown. The spin doctors will be deployed and the battle will continue to rage on the cable news shows.
But what will be lost in this back and forth is a very simple fact: we are still without a plan to prevent our nation from falling off the fiscal cliff.
In my opinion, the debt limit compromise that passed the House and Senate represents the biggest missed opportunity I have seen since arriving in Washington. And it shows the American people that the Washington establishment is still more concerned about poll numbers and elections than the American people.
We have accrued more than $17 trillion in debt. It is such a large number I imagine some find it incomprehensible. Often times I get the feeling that the media and my Democratic colleagues dismiss it as merely another GOP talking point. However, despite Washington's eagerness to ignore our debt, it is very real; it grows every single day; and we have no credible plan to stop it from consuming our economy.
In 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that our debt will be around $26 trillion and roughly 77 percent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2038 debt held by the public will hit 100 percent of GDP. CBO made it clear in a recent report that this level of debt will lead to investors questioning our government's ability to pay its debt obligation and make it more difficult and expensive for our nation to borrow money. Further, CBO states that our debt will have significant negative consequences for both the economy and the federal budget. That is why I felt it was critical for Republicans to stand their ground in defunding ObamaCare. The president's health care law is projected to add another $2.6 trillion to our debt in just the next ten years.
As Republicans we have a responsibility to fight for limited government, balanced budgets and a return to our constitutional principles. Last week's debt limit compromise did none of these things. I think it is very telling that the only way that this bill raising the debt limit could pass the House was that all 198 Democrats voted for it. What is the point of having a Republican majority if we are going to let Democrats dictate what will and will not pass?
I promised my constituents that I would go to Washington and fight for what is right – not simply for what is easy. I do not care if that means I am at odds with my party's leadership. I do not care if that means I get attacked in the press. This bill was not good for the American people, it was not good for my constituents and I know I did the right thing by voting against it.
I truly hope that this event will serve as a learning opportunity. And in three months, when the debt limit must be raised again, I expect my party to do the job the American people sent us here to Washington to do. If Republicans do not force this administration to stop the spending madness, who will?

Rep. Desjarlais,
Why is it that many modern Republicans act like they have been asleep since 1980 (Reagan elected), woke up in 2008 (Obama elected), and think its still 1860 (secession)? I hate to bring this up because its a stubborn little fact that you people in the Tea Party constantly overlook, and that is that our debt to GDP ratio in 1948 was 128 percent. It's around 100 percent right now, not the 77 percent that you stated. The debt is at $17 trillion, and our GDP is hovering at $16 trillion.
In terms that farmers can understand, for every dollar of goods and services produced in the United States in 1948, there was $1.28 owed in national debt on that $1. Of course, that was coming out of a two front war, but we are just now coming out of a two front war. Your family may not have been here in WWII, but my family was here, and the people of this country during that time were "The Great Generation." They knew what sacrifice was, and being a country doctor back then didn't mean having one of the highest incomes in the county.
Humility sir, is very lacking in today's political arena. Shutting down the government and putting veterans and our military at risk of not being paid in an attempt to get established law repealed is a fool's errand, and I hope all the military personnel in the 4th TN Congressional District realize this fact. It would be a great start for you to realize it. In fact, all things are possible through God, although I doubt such an epiphany for you is possible. You and your compadre's have done serious harm to this country.
Rip Van Republicans.

Mr. Desjarlais,
Why is it that Republicans are only against spending when a Democrat is in the White House? Why was the affordable healthcare a good idea when it was a Republican idea, but now is the worst thing that has ever happened to our country?
The debt limit is directly related to the budgets that Congress put forth. If you don't want to raise the debt limit, don't spend the money..... pretty simple, that is the responsibility of Congress. When you talk about out of control spending in Washington..that is you.
The deficit has been decreasing every year that this president has been in office and is expected to be at 4 percent of GDP this year, with a continuing drop expected to be at 2 percent of GDP in 2015. Deficit was at 10 percent of GDP when this president took office.
Your party's recent obstructionistic grandstanding to defund the Affordable Care Act and hold the country hostage, cost our economy $24 billion. How does that get paid for?
The only missed opportunity here, was for our elected officials to work together in the best interest of the country, not just for a few.
John Fricke

Just as the 911 perpetrators rationalized in their own twisted hateful minds their hatred as righteous, the guilty Republicans would explain the devastation they themselves perpetrated in the same way. Neither crew cared who or what they hurt in pursuit of gratifying their hatred. Now that is real hatred. Proponents of hatred, whose motivation and platform is fueled by hatred and only hatred must be drummed out of politics.
This hatred-first-at-any-cost bunch; e.g. you, Cruz, Fleishmann, Bohener, and those like-minded, needs to be replaced in short order by true Republicans who do not harbor and run on a ticket of self-righteous indignance and hatred.

Fort Hood Laid the Gun-Grabbers' Arguments to Rest
We don't need to debate whether disarming the law-abiding makes people safer. That issue has been settled repeatedly. Fort Hood alone was definitive:
Shouldn't an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who carry guns, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. Beginning in March 1993, under the Clinton administration, the army forbids military personnel from carrying their own personal firearms and mandates that "a credible and specific threat against [Department of the Army] personnel [exist] in that region" before military personnel "may be authorized to carry firearms for personal protection."
Actually, many did know that there was a specific threat against personnel — namely the killer, who had publicly stated that non-Muslims should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. But it would have been politically incorrect to acknowledge this threat. So,
The unarmed soldiers could do little more than cower as Major Nidal Malik Hasan stood on a desk and shot down into the cubicles in which his victims were trapped. Some behaved heroically, such as private first class Marquest Smith who repeatedly risked his life removing five soldiers and a civilian from the carnage. But, being unarmed, these soldiers were unable to stop Hasan's attack.
It took 10 minutes to get a gun to the scene. Otherwise Hasan never would have racked up such a high body count. This is why Jared Loughner's psycho spree was the only mass shooting to occur in the US since 1950 that did not take place in a gun-free zone.

Ap revealed via Facebook today that he will unearth a collection of early demos and freestyles on July 17th called The Alien Tongue. This refers to his first rap moniker, Apathy The Alien Tongue. The release will be a digital only, Itunes release.
Usually artists old demo's and taped recordings from the 90′s sound dated and usually are no where near the quality of their music they made once they got better production, record in a better studio, etc… But Apathy is one of my favorite MCs and I have liked everyone one of his releases including his mixtapes of old material. Very excited for this particular artists old stuff!
Im a HUGE fan of emcee's early works. Just copped 1997 by Swollen and I can not wait to indulge in some old Alien Tongue tracks
On the breaking shitty news front….July 17th release cancelled, pushed back to September 11th thanks to high fan demand for physical copies. This will now drop on the same day as "It's the Bootleg…Vol 3″. Shit. (via Apathy FB page)
@Skins yeah I just read that… I totally forgot about the Bootleg Vol 3 and now this!?! Whoa! 9/11 is gonna be a crazy night of music in my house!

A Northampton County woman has finally received her citizenship papers after more than eight decades in America.
An immigration officer came to County Meadows Senior Living in Upper Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. on Friday to present Anna Haight with her certificate of citizenship.
Haight and her family came to the U.S. from Italy in the 1920s. Even though she's been living in the U.S, the 93-year-old never received her naturalization documents.
She found out she wasn't technically a citizen after the DMV wouldn't give her a state I.D.

Negative angles are a way of measuring an angle from a different direction. A positive angle is created by rotating counter-clockwise around the origin of a coordinate system, starting at the x-axis (the horizontal axis) and proceeding through the quadrants in the order I, II, III, IV. A negative angle is measured in the clockwise direction from the positive horizontal axis, and proceeds through the quadrants in the order IV, III, II, I. Every negative angle has a positive counterpart. For example, the negative angle -60° leads to the same terminus as the positive angle 300°, because proceeding 60° clockwise is the same as proceeding 300o counter-clockwise. Those two angles are coterminal, meaning that they terminate at the same location.
Rewrite the expression in non-radical form (and without absolute value symbols) for the indicated values of the angle.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Building community through farmers' market BBQ
Hello friends, with summer just around the corner, I'd like to invite you all out to a free barbecue at the St. Norbert Farmers' Market on June 23, from noon to 3 p.m.
I've always loved a good barbecue. When I was a kid, my dad would get out a bag of charcoal and lighter fluid and we would patiently wait for the coals to heat up, so our hotdogs could be "just right." Now I'm looking forward to a summer of weekend get-togethers and cooking hot dogs on the barbecue for my family.
Last summer, the St. Norbert Farmers' Market board graciously allowed me to hold a free community barbecue for St. Norbert on their site. As fate would have it, it started to rain. While setting up the bouncy castle and balloons in the rain, I was worried people wouldn't enjoy the food and entertainment we had planned — but I had nothing to worry about. Over 300 people showed up to take in two live bands, the Winnipeg Police Service's patrol horses, the fire department's safety trailer, face painting, the Behavioural Health Foundation drummers and singing group and, of course, hot dogs, chips and drinks. And the bouncy castle, by the way, can handle an adult — I tried it.
This event brought the community together, and building up our community is why I ran for office in the first place.
As your representative, I want to be someone people can feel free to chat with, have a hot dog or coffee with, and also let me know their issues and concerns. I want to make St. Norbert the best possible place to live, work and raise a family.
So, I hope you can all join me on Sunday, June 23 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Farmers' Market site, right across from my office at 3489 Pembina Hwy.
This will be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and enjoy some good food and fun.

Jonny James has just returned home after helping England to three victories in Brazil.
The 26-year-old Milton United defender enjoyed considerably more success than Roy Hodgson and his team when competing for England in the Budweiser Sixes Global finals in Rio de Janeiro.
James, from Didcot, won through to the England amateur XI after a series of trials plus an appearance at Wembley in April.
With former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour as manager, England beat Brazil 5-2, Guatemala 6-2 and Ukraine 2-0 in their group games to reach the semi-finals of this eight-strong tournament.
There they drew 0-0 with Argentina, before losing 2-1 on penalties. Argentina lost to Colombia in the final.
"I learned such a lot out there from Ray Parlour and others that I hope the experience has boosted my career," said James, who has trained with Conference North side Oxford City.
"It was the experience of a lifetime," added James, who attended the World Cup quarter-final between Germany and France in Rio and met the likes of Edgar Davids and Rio Ferdinand.

Wish you were here! The 10 holiday snaps people back home hate to see (and yes, 'hot dog legs' definitely feature)
- The screenshot of the weather report of a holiday destination tops the list
- Some 44 per cent found selfies annoying, while 32 per cent hated 'hot dog legs'
- The list includes photos of sunsets, people holding up buildings and people jumping
Are you just about to post that screenshot of the weather report of your forthcoming holiday destination showing glorious sunshine and high temperatures?
Just so that you know, the photo was voted the most clichéd holiday snap, according to a new survey.
More than half (51 per cent) of those polled regarded the screenshot as one of the top three cheesiest photos, according to hotel search website Top10.com.
We're having a great time! Selfies are the second most hated holiday snaps
Hot Dog Legs: TOWIE star Maria Fowler is one of the many celebrities who have joined the craze for posting pictures on their tanned legs on holiday
Selfies showing what an happy holiday you and your friends are having made it to the second place, with 44 per cent of respondents finding them annoying.
Some 32 per cent of people said they would like to see fewer photos of tanned and toned legs resting on a beautiful beach on their news feed.
The so-called 'hot dog legs' photos has become the favourite shot taken by celebrities on their trips and has fast caught-on among regular holidaymakers.
Old classic: The mid-air, jumping with excitement pose came fourth in the top 10 cheesiest holiday snaps
But if you
want to post a pictures of your legs on the beach, be aware, it is the
third most hated holiday photo, accoridng to those stuck at home.
While an old classic - people jumping in mid-air in excitment - came in at fourth place, with 31 per cent of those polled easily living without having to see such photos.
Alex Buttle of Top10.com said: 'Clichéd or not, we all enjoy sharing our travel experiences – and why not?
Glorious sunshine and drinks: A screenshot of the weather report of your holiday destination was the most hated holiday picture, while cocktails at sunset and in general photos of food and drinks came in in 10th place
Nothing new: 26 per cent said they are no longer amused by the 'look, I'm holding up the Eiffel Tower'
Seaside classic: The traditional cut-out photo boards at the beach also made it on to the most-hated list in seventh place
or not we take these holiday snaps in an
"isn't-this-ironic-and-clichéd" way, or purely for enjoyment, seeing
these poses used and re-used across our social networks doesn't stop
them being "liked" by our often-jealous loved ones.'
Holding up buildings such as the pending Pisa tower were also among the top 10 cheesiest snaps, with 26 per cent of people no longer amused by the the 'look, I'm holding up the Eiffel Tower'.
And photos of sea side cut out boards, the traditional British seaside scenes which you can become part of by putting your head through cut-out holes, made it to the seventh place.
1. iPhone temperature report (51%)
2. Selfie (44%)
3. Hot dog legs (32%)
4. Jumping (31%)
5. Holding up buildings (26%)
6. Name written in sand (24%)
7. Cut-out photo board (21%)
8. Sunsets (19%)
9. Blue skies and palm trees (16%)
10. Food & drink (5%)
Look, I am in paradise! Blue sky and green palms were the ninth most hated holiday photos
Another cheesy holiday snap: Writing 'wish you were here' or someone's name in the sand
A romantic cliche: Photos of sunsets also made it in the top 10
Naturally, the list would not be complete without photos of your name - or even worst 'wish you were here'- written in the sand.
It also goes without saying that orange sunsets, possibly with some birds flying by, and palms set against a blue sky were found annoying by some 24 per cent of people, coming in respectively in eight and ninth position.
And finally, 5 per cent of people said they could definitely live without having to see pictures showing refreshing cocktails on the beach and yummy food, which came in 10th position.

The 21 Most Ridiculous Things About the Chris Paul Family Feud Episode
1. Joey Fat One is the announcer.
2. Steve Harvey is the host. The holy trinity of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Steve Harvey did it big in 2011.
3. Chris Paul playing on Family Feud, instead of playing in the 2011-12 NBA season.
4. The feel-good rumor that the Paul family got on the show by "calling the hotline." Even I have a Family Feud connection, Chris, so just stop. And seriously, it's no big deal to cut in front of thousands of families just so you can get some airtime while you're unemployed. No biggie.
5. The inner lining of Chris Paul's suit coat is electric purple.
6. The fact that this family of fratty white ladies probably has no idea what a "Chris Paul" is.
7. The accents on these ladies. They all talk like Marky-Mark from the Depahhted. Terrible.
8. The number of times someone in the Paul family leaned over and whispered, "We better not lose to these crazy white girls." (I'm guessing 17.)
9. The number of Paul family members in the audience who were thinking the same thing. (I'm guessing 31.)
10. The race war that's about to erupt.
11. The Paul family playing instead of passing in the double points round. ALWAYS PASS.
12. Mrs. Robin flirting with Steve.
13. Steve flirting with Chris Paul.
14. One minute going by, and Steve continuing to flirt with Chris Paul.
15. Steve's impression of a man wearing Depends.
16. Paul family playing instead of passing in triple. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
17. Chris Paul finally getting something right.
18. Paul family not guessing "radio" when the category was "Thing on a car
that makes noise." So mad.
19. The initial sadness in Steve's voice when he realized he had to send home Chris Paul, Mrs. Robin, and the gang and hang out with these women for five more minutes.
20. Sergeant Amy leaning her head on Steve's shoulder, ever so tenderly.
21. The fact that the Pauls didn't rig this to win. So dumb. They could have been on again, today.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is continuing his "Connecticut in the Capitol" video series.
The initiative is a series of YouTube videos that highlight the state's historical connections to the U.S. Capitol Building.
In the latest video, Murphy features the Old Supreme Court Chamber in the Capitol, which is home to the bust of Windsor's Oliver Ellsworth, author of the Connecticut Compromise and the third chief justice of the United States. Ellsworth also served as one of Connecticut's first two U.S. senators.
"The Old Supreme Court Chamber is also the site of the historic Amistad case that ultimately freed nearly 40 individuals that were captured and sold into slavery," a press release said. "These individuals seized control of the schooner Amistad, which ultimately docked in Connecticut where they stayed while their fated was decided by the Amistad case."
The U.S. Supreme Court is across the street from the Capitol building. The new building was designed by Cass Gilbert, who is also responsible for the design of the New Haven Free Public Library and the Waterbury Municipal Complex, representatives said.

Sen. Harkin Promises Return to Card Check
The Hill is reporting that Iowa's leading Democrat, Senator Tom Harkin, is promising that the lame-duck Senate will again take up Big Labor's favored Employee Free Choice Act, (EFCA), the famous card check act that is neither good for employees nor one that facilitates "free choice" of any kind.
Apparently, what's bad for the nation is easier to push when Democrats already feel that the 2010 election will erase their giant majorities in Congress so they want to launch a last ditch effort to sneak this through before the people can speak at the ballot box.
And isn't that just the thing, here? The people did speak in 2006 and 2008, after all. They spoke in favor of Democrats. Yet, even with all that support Harkin and his far left cronies couldn't lead their overwhelming majority to pass the jobs killing bill. Even their fellow Democrats were against it because they knew the voters stood against it.
Yet now, when they feel that many of them will lose their seats anyway, they want to go back to pushing this bad policy? Isn't that an admission that Democrats do not care what the people want?
Plainly it is.
Yet, Harkin is claiming that the lame-duck Senate will take this up anyway.
"To those who think it's dead, I say think again," Harkin said on the liberal Bill Press radio show.
Harkin is unashamedly saying, "Damn the people, we have big money donors in Big Labor to satisfy."
Those of you that stand against federal control of our worker's wages, benefits, and pensions and those of you that stand against union bosses being given the color of federal authority to place their iron boots on the neck of our struggling economy should call your senators and representatives and again urge them to steer clear of the EFCA.
