Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman It's a chameleon A full-frame DSLR that pushes the still photography envelope and is infused with Sony's decades of knowledge and experience making some of the world's best broadcast video cameras? Good choice, checking out this page, because the Alpha SLT-A99V is one of Sony's most intriguing digital imaging offerings to date. Full-frame lushness, in motion Most all photo enthusiasts would be excited by this announcement of a new full-frame DSLR, of course. The full-frame look is gorgeous, lush, and malleable in an artist's hands. The 'A99V does not disappoint, offering tools and technology that enhance its versatility for almost any photographic challenge. But Sony has taken things a step further, welcoming aspiring filmmakers to the fold with features that spring from Sony's long history with the worlds of broadcast video and electronic cinematography. Video without compromise Sony's been offering low-compression, high-quality 1080/60p video on most of its top cameras for a while now, making it possible for you to capture great video to SD cards and Memory Stick® media. But it's important to note that they've now enabled uncompressed video capture via the on-board HDMI interface, making it possible to route that signal to external solid-state recording devices at frame rates of 60p, 60i, and 24p. In combination with the aforementioned full-frame "look," you'll be able to get moving imagery that's really...moving. Uncompressed signals mean you'll be able to generate content that rivals the best quality the broadcasters have to offer. What better way to stand out from the film school pack, or have your work recognized at the next film festival you enter? Oh...not to mention, your family vacations will look awesome, too. The Sony Alpha SLT-A99V, shown with available grip and external flash unit (not included) Still photo features shine Traditional still photography takes on a new dimension with full-frame on the 'A99V. In addition to the features you've come to expect on Sony Alpha DSLR's things like fast continuous shooting, full-time continuous autofocus (even while shooting video), auto HDR for amazing dynamic range the 'A99V has some exciting new features. There's a new Dual autofocus system that combines the image sensor's 19 traditional AF points with a 102-point phase-detection autofocus sensor. This means improved focus tracking in low light, and better detection of changes in depth and direction. The Quick Navi Pro feature enhances your ability to find settings in a hurry. And the new Multi-Interface Shoe enables you to use many accessories from the Sony video Handycam® family, like microphones and video lights, in addition to the flash units you'd expect to use in that location. Creative assistant Of course, the Sony Alpha SLT-A99V has suggestions for you if you're feeling uninspired. Auto Portrait Framing mode will detect when you take a photo of a person, and save a second copy of your image, cropped with the rule of thirds applied, in either portrait or landscape orientation. And there are 13 creative finishing styles for processing your images, including "Vivid," "Night Scene," and "Autumn Leaves."

Eye-Start Auto Focus: The camera features the Eye-Start Auto Focus system, which begins precision auto focus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye. This feature can be turned off in the menu, if desired. Dual AF System: The A99V's 19-point high-performance auto focus system is complemented by a multi-point focal plane phase detection AF sensor with 102 AF points that overlays the image sensor. You can choose from the following Auto/Manual Focus Modes: AF (Auto focus) Mode: You can select between 3 modes: Single-Shot AF: The camera focuses and the focus is locked when you press the shutter button halfway down. Continuous AF: The camera continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. Automatic AF: This mode automatically switches between single-shot AF and continuous AF depending on the movement of the subject. Depth Map Assist Continuous AF: After the camera focuses on the subject using the 19 AF areas, the camera uses the 102 AF points to continue to focus on the subject. Object Tracking: When Object Tracking is enabled, the camera allows you to select a subject to be tracked while it moves through the frame. The subject remains in focus until you press the shutter release. Manual Focus: When it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode, you can adjust the focus manually. This mode allows you to set the distance of a subject by switching to MF on the lens and rotating the focusing ring to achieve a sharp focus. Face Detection/Smile Shutter: The camera can detect human faces, and adjusts the focus, exposure, performs image processing and adjusts flash settings for best results. Faces can be registered, and priority given to those faces over others in the frame. Up to 8 faces can be detected and/or registered. When the Smile Shutter feature is enabled, the camera will automatically release the shutter when a slight, normal, or big smile is detected. Auto Portrait Framing: When taking a photo of a person's face, the Auto Portrait Framing feature analyzes the scene and saves another image of the face with a more impressive composition. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technology with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced, full resolution portraits. This feature can be turned off, if desired. AF Illuminator: When you press the shutter button halfway down a red illuminator is emitted until the focus is locked. Under dark lighting conditions or when you shoot a low contrast subject, the AF illuminator allows the camera to focus more easily on the subject. The AF illuminator has a range of approximately 3.3 to 23 feet. Drive Modes: The camera offers the following shooting modes: Single Shooting: Default setting for standard picture taking. Continuous Shooting: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously. There are two speeds: High (6 fps full frame/7 fps APS-C) and Low (2.5 fps). For faster continuous shooting, you can select Tele-zoom Continuous Priority AE on the Mode Dial, which captures a narrow center area of an image (10 or 8 fps). The maximum number of recordable frames varies by Speed, Image Quality, and Memory Card type. Self-Timer: You can set the camera to two different self-timers: 10 second for self photos, 2 second to reduce camera shake. Bracket: You can choose from four types of bracketing: Continuous, Single, White Balance, and DRO (Dynamic Range Optimizer). Remote Commander: You can shoot still images and movies using the optional RMT-DSLR2 or still images only with the optional RMT-DSLR1. Exposure Modes: Using the top-mounted Mode Dial, the camera offers the following exposure recording modes: Auto: This mode allows easy shooting with settings adjusted automatically. Program Auto: This mode allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter speed and the aperture value). The other settings can be adjusted manually. Aperture Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the aperture value manually, letting the camera set the appropriate shutter speed. Shutter Speed Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the shutter speed manually, letting the camera set the appropriate aperture. Manual Exposure: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the exposure (shutter speed and aperture) manually. 1, 2, 3: Lets you recall the three combinations of frequently-used modes and settings stored in Memory. Scene Selection: You can select an appropriate mode for the subject or the shooting conditions to allow you to shoot the image with a suitable setting for the subject. Choose from: Portrait, Sports Action, Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Hand-held Twilight, or Night Portrait. Sweep Panorama: Shoots expansive scenery or high-rise buildings with dynamic composition. Tele-zoom Continuous Priority AE: The camera shoots continuously while the shutter button is pressed fully down. The camera records at a maximum of about 10 or 8 images per second (selectable). Movies: Recording movies in Full HD or standard definition in 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio with exposure adjusted manually (shutter speed and aperture). Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-5.0 EV in 1/3-step or 1/2-step increments. AE Lock: You can fix the exposure before deciding on the composition when taking a picture. This is effective when the metering object and focusing object are different or when you want to shoot continuously while keep the same exposure value. Metering Mode: A 1200-zone evaluative sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can select the method for measuring the brightness of a subject from the following three methods: Multi Segment: This method uses the whole screen divided into 1200 zones to measure light. Center Weighted: While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this method measure the average brightness of the entire screen. Spot: This method measure light only in the spot metering circle in the center of the frame. White Balance: You can adjust the color tones according to the lighting conditions. You can choose from the following WB options, and adjust the +/- 3 to fine tune the colors: Auto WB: This mode adjusts the white balance automatically. Daylight: This mode adjusts for outdoors and sunlit subjects. Shade: This mode adjust for shady conditions on a clear day. Cloudy: This mode adjust for a cloudy sky. Incandescent: This mode adjusts for incandescent lighting. Fluorescent: This mode adjusts for florescent lighting (select Warm white, Cool white, Day white, or Daylight) Flash: This mode adjusts for flash conditions. Custom: In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light sources, use of the custom white balance is recommended in order to accurately reproduce the whiteness. Color Temperature/Color Filter: You can adjust the white balance further by selecting Color Temperature or Color Filter in the Custom White Balance option. With Color Temperature, the higher the number, the more reddish the image, and the lower the number, the more bluish the image. Color Filter achieves the effect of Color Compensation filters for photography. Based on the set color temperature as the standard, the color can be compensated to Green (G) or Magenta (M). Image Processing (Creative Style): This camera is pre-programmed with image styles optimal for various scenes and purposes. For each setting, you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can choose from the following settings: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Autumn Leaves, B & W, and Sepia. Picture Effect: You can select the desired effect filter to achieve more impressive and artistic expression. There are several Picture Effect options, including Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Mono, and Miniature. ISO Settings: ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity. The camera's ISO can be set manually (ISO 100-25600) or automatically (with selectable lower and upper limits), depending upon the exposure mode. For movies, sensitivity can be set manually between ISO 100-6400, or automatically between ISO 100-3200. Flash: The SLT-A99V does not have a built-in flash. The A99V features the newly-developed Multi-Interface Shoe, which allows you to use many of the Sony Handycam accessories such as video lights. For attaching conventional flash units, an ADP-MAA shoe adapter is included. The A99V offers the following flash modes: Autoflash: In auto mode the flash automatically fires if it is dark or against light. Fill-Flash: In this mode the flash fires every time the shutter is released. Slow Sync: Slow sync shooting allows you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by slowing the shutter speed. Rear Sync: In rear sync mode, the objects illuminated by other light sources are captured first, then the flash is fired right before the exposure is completed. Red-eye Reduction: Reduces the red-eye phenomenon during flash use. Wireless: The camera can use the flash light to transmit signal to an external off-camera flash to produce a more three-dimensional image. (Requires optional wireless flash unit such as HVL-F58AM, HVL-F42AM, HVL-F56AM, or HVL-F36AM). Noise Reduction: The camera offers Long Exposure and High ISO Noise Reduction (NR) to automatically reduce the grainy noise found in photos during long exposures or high ISO settings. Anti-Dust Technology: Changing lenses on a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera. To help keep the image sensor cleaner for better pictures, the A99V utilizes a static-free anti-dust coating on the imager's filter. The camera also has a cleaning function which vibrates the image sensor for a short time to knock off any dust that may have settled on the imager. Built-in GPS: The camera has a built-in GPS receiver that can obtain location information from overhead Global Positioning Satellites. This information is recorded in the images and movies shot at that location. Using the supplied "PMB" software, you can import images with location information to your computer and enjoy viewing them with a map which shows their shooting location. Optional Vertical Grip: The A99V is compatible with the optional VG-C99AM vertical grip. The grip can hold 2 additional NP-FM500H batteries to give you significantly longer shooting times without having to change or charge batteries. The vertical grip has multiple controls that can be used comfortably when the camera is rotated to the portrait (vertical) orientation. Play And Print Functions Playback Options: You can view images on the LCD monitor with 3 options: with recording data displayed, without recording data, or histogram display. A histogram is the luminance distribution that shows how many pixels of a particular brightness exists in a picture. The histogram display of this camera shows the brightness on the horizontal axis and the number of pixels on the vertical axis. Auto Review: After an image is recorded, you can have the camera automatically display it on the LCD monitor for two, five or 10 seconds. You can also turn off auto review. Image Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed upright during playback. This can be done manually or automatically. Playback Screen: You can view your photos back as a single image on the LCD monitor, as an Index or as a Slide Show. During Index View mode, you can view 4 or 9 images at once. You can adjust the Slide Show mode interval from 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 seconds. D-Range Optimizer/Auto HDR: The camera allows you to correct the brightness and contrast of an image automatically, using the D-Range Optimizer (DRO) and Auto High Dynamic Range functions. The DRO optimizes the gradations of a recorded image in each area of the image; you select the optimal level from Lv1 (weak) and Lv5 (strong). When Auto HDR is selected, the camera shoots three images with different exposures, then overlays them to create one image with the correct exposure and an overlaid image. Rotating Images: Images can be rotated counter-clockwise 360-degrees on the camera's LCD monitor during single image playback. Protect Images: You can protect all images on your memory card or select only certain images to be protected from accidental erasure.

D22'ers at Chicago Nationals
Jake and Luke Williams
In support of youth bridge, District 22 provided some support for youth members attending the Nationals. Jake and Luke were first in flight B and third overall in the two session Barclay youth pairs. They won or finished high in several other one session events, including winning two swiss teams with their grandparents, Barbara and Larry Hauser
Norman Schwartz
Norman won the Bruce LM-5000 event playing with Richard Reitman of Los Gatos, Ca.
Lynn Feldman, John Jones, Peter Rank and Rick Roeder
They finished second in the Senior Swiss, narrowly escaping first!
Report by John Kissinger, GNT manager
All four of our Gnt representative teams got past the first day, which is played as a Swiss event; in each flight the 25 teams are reduced to the 16 teams that then begin the KO matches. However, three of our teams, Open, A and B flights, failed to get past the first KO round. Making up for this, our C team (Joe Garcia, Kenny Pan, Winston Chang, and father/son Ninad and Nitin More) won the whole thing! Way to go! Ticker tape parade on their return! Not only did they reach the final, but in the three KO rounds leading up to the final their opponents withdrew at the 3/4 mark. However, the final was another story. Gann, the D6 team, led through the first half. Better, I've noticed, to lead at the end, and our heroes did just that, winning 82-72. Congratulations!! So two years ago our A team won it all, and now Flight C is on top! We must be doing something right.

D22 Area III Representatives
District 22 is one of 25 Districts within ACBL and consists of about 7000 members. D22 consists of most of Southern California (except the Los Angeles area which is District 23) including Ventura and inland up to Visalia, California.
The D22 Board of Directors consists of two volunteer representatives from each of four areas and one representative to the National ACBL Board for a total of nine persons. The Board oversees the five Regionals held each year in District 22 (Riverside, San Diego, Orange County, Ventura, and Palm Springs).
Bill Grant and Andy Loh represent the San Diego area and serve on the Board of District 22 of ACBL. The San Diego area has 5 Units, each with its own Board and oversees the Sectional Tournaments and Unit games. The current Presidents are listed below with a brief background.
ACBL District 22 consists of four areas with roughly equal population. Area III is San Diego County. Below, find a brief Bio of the presidents of the five units in Area III. Other Areas will be highlighted later.
John Dusharme, President Unit 519, Coronado/Eastlake
John has a Bachelor Degree in Spanish and Athletic Coaching at the University of California at Santa Barbara, and completed two Master degrees, School Administration and Special Education, at San Diego State University. He has enjoyed 39 years as an educator at various levels, serving as a teacher in grades K-6, program manager and part-time principal, directed programs for under-achieving students, instructed at Southwestern College, and served as a member of staff development teams while assigned to the offices of the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the San Diego County Office of Education. He and his wife of 39 years, Linda, have two adult children, Mark and Michelle. Upon retiring, he began to play duplicate bridge again at Eastlake Bridge club. After several years, he was asked to be the tournament chair for our Sectional tournament held in October. Three years later, he was elected President of Unit 519. In the last several years he has attained Life Master status, along with my wife and bridge partner Linda, worked on Regional Hospitality and Partnership Desks, and worked at the National Partnership Desk in Las Vegas. My latest interest is enlisting youths at elementary and secondary schools to learn and play bridge, as well as recruiting adults to join our local clubs.
Mathew Kidd, President Unit 526, La Jolla
Matthew is a cosmic ray physicist who switched to bioinformatics in 1997, working for two startups. He has been playing bridge on and off since 1986 but much more so since moving to San Diego in 2004. He maintains the La Jolla unit websiteand has written the ACBLmerge, Lead Solver, and Payoff Matrix software programs. ACBLmerge is an important component of both Bridge Results and Fast Results. Matthew has been active in the bridge teaching at La Jolla High for six years. Away from the table you can find him skiing or hiking with John Strauch and friends. At or away from the table, he'll have his camera.
Rick Norton, President Unit 531, North San Diego County Coastal
Rick served in the USAF, is a licensed attorney in Florida and California, Partner in Norton and Grimes LLC, Judge Pro Tem (Traffic and Small Claims), and retired in 2014. He is a Gold Life Master and Tournament bridge player since 1962 (with 25 years off in the middle for work). He enjoys Chess, Volleyball, traveling, and is an avid Reader. He has been married to Shirley Norton for the past 18 years.
Lamya Agelidis - President Unit 539, San Diego
Lamya grew up in a bridge family, her grand-parents were avid players and so are her parents, still today. Her dad was a Middle East bridge champion in the 1970s and he has passed his passion on to her, always feeding her with words of encouragement and endless bridge articles. Bridge throughout her college days in London was fun and memorable but a full-time career in Business Process Consulting and Project Management as well as raising a family took precedence. She re-discovered duplicate bridge in Nashville a few years ago and has been hooked ever since. The superior bridge scene in San Diego helped tip the scales for relocating her retirement here 3 years ago! Being on the Board has allowed her to lead a team of fellow bridge players in re-inventing some of the processes in order to make the San Diego unit the number one choice for all its members. Always looking to be more involved, she will be co-chairing one of the most popular regionals, San Diego regional, next year, as well as being involved in making the Fall 2017 NABC the grandest ever!
Sheila E Latus, President Unit 549, North San Diego County Inland.
Sheila was born in Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Brooklyn College with a BA in Biology. She received a Master of Arts in Library Science from Immaculate College in Los Angeles. Sheila and Rex have been married for 47 years. They moved to San Diego in 1972 when Rex was offered a job at NCR in Rancho Bernardo. One child, a boy, married, father of a little girl is now living in New Jersey. Sheila worked at Kaiser Hospital as a Medical Librarian for 33 years before retiring in 2004. Sheila avoided playing bridge while in college, but began playing duplicate shortly after moving to San Diego as a way of meeting people. Came in second overall in 1976 at a four session National Woman's pairs with a pick-up partner.

D22 again held its Pacific Southwest Regional at the Town & Country Hotel, within walking distance to a large shopping center, with plentiful restaurants of all kinds located nearby. We had almost 2000 tables for the week, a little down from last year, but still one of the top Regionals anywhere.
Everyone enjoyed the daily hospitality with lots of candy, some breakfast pastry and that all important coffee! On Friday, there was clam chowder and chili and on Saturday, a hospitality was held with drinks and snacks. Lots of Gold points were awarded, along with nice section top awards, a T-shirt with a new sea horse logo was one of the prizes. Several players attained the Life Master status--Norma Zimmerman of Laguna Woods, Sue Ehrhardt, Jane McGill, & Michael Kole, of San Diego. Congratulations to ALL!

The popular Fri IMP pairs and Sunday Bracketted BCD Swiss were back again. Each bracketted BCD Swiss flight awards gold points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
New playing cards - D22 has purchased new plastic playing cards for duplicate. Some of the older playing cards used for team events are being replaced by new plastic cards. Players who discovered older, sticky playing cards are requested to ask for a new deck.

Series: Saturday Science Links (29 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.

Practice Philosophy
Dr Friedlander understands that beauty is a joy forever, or at least it should be. It is not vain or foolish to want to look as good as you feel. In fact we try this daily with makeup, hair color and style, padded/push up bras and choice of clothing. These are excellent techniques for short term improvement. Dr. Friedlander understands this, performing many of the same rituals herself. Some people wonder whether cosmetic surgery will be right for them, they question how it will affect their family and professional life, and are hesitant to dive right in. She discusses the importance of a healthy lifestyle, but knows firsthand that professional and maternal responsibilities sometimes overwhelm us, preventing us from taking care of ourselves. Plastic surgery, no matter how big or small a procedure, can make all the difference in how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with those around us.
Qualifications, credentials, and certificates are very important, but they can be hard to relate to. It is your relationship with the surgeon that counts. Dr. Friedlander takes sincere interest in her patients, and it shows in her ability to understand your concerns. She uses her more than 20 years of experience to advise you and help you to arrive at the decision that is best for you. No question is too small or unimportant. You are welcome to return as many times before and after surgery as needed so she, or her nurse, can address your every concern. You will find that she explains things clearly and patiently. You will also find our staff very attentive, providing unexpected personal touches. These are the characteristics that will make your experience special.
Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Uplift, Reduction,
and Revision)
Body Contouring(Liposuction, Tummy Tucks)
Facial Rejuvination( Fillers,Botox, Eyelid Lifts)
The consultation serves multiple purposes. It provides you with an introduction to Dr. Friedlander and her staff, and it allows you to find out more about the procedure you are interested in. Dr. Friedlander will perform a medical history and then spend time listening carefully to you describe your surgical goals. She understands that there are some anxieties about elective surgery and makes it a point to get to know you in a comfortable setting before examining you. She will take the time to understand what your objectives are and then outline an approach to achieve your goals. It is important to have a realistic understanding of what can be achieved. She will help you create a foundation by discussing diet, exercise, skin health, and other basics before proceeding with the building blocks of surgery. You will have the opportunity to view photographs of others who have undergone surgery, and you will see what results can be achieved.
Maintaining patient safety is Dr Friedlander's highest priority. She performs all major surgery in a hospital, or freestanding ambulatory surgery center. Minor surgical procedures, involving local anesthesia are preformed in the comfort of her office.

Yreka, Cali. -- CalFire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection agency, said in a press release Monday that they will be transitioning into fire season in the coming weeks in Siskiyou, Butte, Tehama, Glenn, Shasta among other counties.
According to the release CalFire has already transitioned into fire season across the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento region on May 5th.
Chief Keith Larkin, CalFire's Northern Region Chief, said they have responded to twice as many fires since the beginning of the year "We have been increasing our staffing levels since January as drought conditions have continued to leave our region in an elevated threat for wildfires. As we are staffed up, we continue to ask the public to ensure they too are prepared for this year's fire season."
According to the press release CalFire has responded to nearly 1,300 wildfires in California, more than twice as many fires as average. CalFire officials ask that everyone be prepared for this fire season and that every home has defensible space.
Here are some tips from CalFire to help prepare your home:
Residents and visitors are also warned to take steps to prevent wildfires by remembering that One Less Spark, means One Less Wildfire:

The Eighth World Archaeological Congress (WAC-8) will be held in Kyoto, Japan.
Click here for more information.
Visit the official WAC-8 website!
WAC International Congresses are held every four years. The Congresses offer an extensive range of opportunities for discussion of the results of new archaeological research. Sessions also focus on contemporary archaeological practice and political matters with opportunities for participants to share strategies of stewardship and develop inclusive policies. Congresses are open to both members and non-members.
The Sixth World Archaeological Congress (WAC-6) was held in Ireland at the University College Dublin from 29th June - 4 July 2008. It was attended by over 1,800 archaeologists from some 75 countries. WAC supported the attendance of around 230 participants from Indigenous groups and economically disadvantaged countries.
The Seventh World Archaeological Congress (WAC-7) was held in Jordan on the Dead Sea in January, 2013. For more information visit the WAC-7 website.
The WAC-7 Program is now available for download. This is the printed program from the WAC-7 Congress, including the abstracts of individual presentations listed in alphabetical order at the back of the program.
A number of important resolutions were passed at WAC-7 and approved by the WAC Executive. Click here for more information.
WAC-7 concluded on 18 January 2013 with the ever-exciting and engaging Plenary Session, a general business meeting at the end of every major WAC Congress that presents, for consideration by the WAC Council and Executive, matters arising from the academic proceedings. Professor Peter Stone, the 2013 recipient of the Peter Ucko Memorial Award, chaired the WAC-7 Plenary, which was attended by over 100 participants.
In total, 14 resolutions were brought to the Plenary. The topics of resolutions ranged widely, reflecting the missions and interests of WAC, the diverse themes of WAC-7, and pressing concerns in the world of archaeology and cultural heritage today. After more than two hours of debate, nine resolutions were passed by a show of hands of attendants of the Plenary. As the Plenary is not an official decision making body of WAC, all resolutions passed were sent to the Council and Executive for consideration, so that they might be adopted as WAC initiatives or policy.
Below, you will find a list of formally approved WAC-7 resolutions – this list will be updated as additional resolutions are discussed by the Executive.
Resolution concerning the relationship of archaeology and archaeologists with extant custodial and affiliated communities
--Proposed by Neel Kamal Chapagain (Nepal) and Michael J Kimball (USA), and derived from a WAC-7 session titled "The Past is Living in the Present."
The archaeological community increasingly engages with local communities through research and educational activities including public outreach. The World Archaeological Congress supports works presented at various sessions of WAC-7 in Jordan, as well as and institutional attempts such as ICCROM's Living Heritage Approach, which exemplifies principles, methods, and theoretical frameworks for properly valuing and engaging with unique world views and knowledges possessed by local communities. These approaches illustrate the vital importance to custodial communities of such world views and knowledges. In recognition of this, WAC encourages systematic efforts to develop a scholarship of community engaged archaeology through which such work can be documented, problematized, and improved with the goal of achieving holistic knowledge, participatory research, sustainable community development and management of archaeological heritage.

Report: WAC Inter-Congress Vienna: Archaeology in Conflict
The WAC Inter-Congress "Archaeology in Conflict," held in Vienna in April 2010, originated in the 6th World Archaeological Congress (WAC) which was held in Ireland at the University College Dublin (UCD) in July 2008. In three academic sessions the issue of archaeology and war was discussed most controversially. One was entitled "Archaeologists, War and Conflict: Ethics, Politics, Responsibility" and plead more or less for a boycott of the military by the scientific community. The second one, "Working with the Military: Not Evil, Just Necessary" did the opposite. The third one, "Archaeology in the Context of War" focused on legal and systematic issues. The hot topic even caused a local anarchic movement to utter immediate threats against the conference and its participants and the UCD felt it was necessary to ensure protection. As a consequence thereof uniformed police personnel were present during part of the conference. This fact triggered even more discussion during the final general assembly of the congress which by tradition is the closing forum of every WAC allowing its members and participants to discuss imminent issues and bring draft resolutions before the assembled audience and the WAC board. In the course of this assembly, I suggested to organize a WAC Inter-Congress (WAC IC) that would specifically deal with the issue of archaeology and war/military, explore the status quo and collect data that would serve as a basis for further decision making.
Before the WAC IC in Vienna was to take place another important event was already scheduled: the WAC IC in Ramallah in August 2009. This conference rooted in the 5th WAC which was held in Washington in 2003. One of the experiences of this WAC had been that many archaeologists from various countries around the world were hindered to attend a conference in the western part of the world due to political reasons and were denied visa. The WAC IC in Ramallah was held in Palestine largely because Palestinian people have great difficulties obtaining visas to many countries including the USA or countries in the EU. The fact alone that WAC powered an IC in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, but also the point that representatives from the Israel Antiquities Authority were not explicitly and directly invited to this event by its organizers, triggered off harsh critique from Israeli officials as well as the media resulting in the false accusation that Israeli and Jewish archaeologist were intentionally excluded from this event and that the whole conference was an anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic undertaking.
The WAC IC in Vienna was designed to finally overcome all these resentments. It was the intension to bring together people from all kinds of conflict zones as well as from all sectors actively involved: academia, NGOs, the military, law enforcement agencies, public service etc. For this reason I decided to broaden the organizational basis of the conference and to invite Blue Shield to power the event together with WAC. Also the venue, the Tech Gate within the so called UNO-City, the area were the UN office building in Vienna is located, was chosen to stress the neutrality of the meeting. And the patronage of UNESCO was well as the Austrian Commission for UNESCO, for which we feel very grateful and honoured, served the same purpose to guarantee a broad and neutral basis for discussions.
The WAC IC in Vienna was planned to hold approximately 20 papers covering all aspects under discussion. In the end we received about 100 proposals. Since most of them were excellent, we accepted about 80 changing the nature of the conference completely; it was in the end a series of short presentations of 15 minutes each. One remarkable element was the rather high number of junior scholars presenting their work in progress including the "Next Generation Project" on Facebook. The highlight of the conference was our participation in the speech of the Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, in the Austrian Parliament on the occasion of his state visit to Austria. Unfortunately, the WAC IC in Vienna also came to suffer under the fact that several registered experts and in particular some junior scholars in the end were not able to travel to Austria, either due to political (visa) or out of financial reasons. Nevertheless, the conference was very successful - in quality and also in quantity with the highest number of participants as well as papers delivered ever at a WAC IC. All speakers were invited to submit their papers for publication in the "Forum Archaeologiae" and about one third did so, which I am very grateful for.
This is also the place to thank all colleagues who have made this success possible: all the participants, my co-organizer Magnus Bernhardsson, professor at the University of Iceland and the Williams College, Claire Smith, the past-president of WAC, and all her colleagues from the Executive Committee, Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen, the president of the "Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield", and all his colleagues from the board, Leylya Strobl, director of the Austrian Roerich Society, and all the Roerich delegates from around the world, Norbert Fürstenhofer, president of the Austrian Society for the Protection of Cultural Property, and his executive board, our host Michael Pfeifer, the General Secretary of the "Foreign Policy and United Nations Association of Austria", and his team of students, the representatives of the Austrian Ministry of European and International Affairs, the staff of the Tech Gate Vienna in the UNO-City, the staff of Austropa Interconvention, and last but not least Elisabeth Trinkl, the editor of "Forum Archaeologiae," who aided in publishing portions of the proceedings of the Inter-Congress.

Marion County Dog Control strives to resolve barking dog complaints by first notifying the owner of a concern and providing resources they can use to address the problem before issuing them a notice of civil infraction for a violation of our ordinance.
A letter is mailed to the dog owner and includes a flyer that has suggestions on how to address barking dogs. It also suggested that they contact Neighbor-to-Neighbor, a community mediation service, to request assistance. Marion County Dog Control collaborates with Neighbor-to-Neighbor to provide a resource to assist neighbors in mediation to help them reach a resolution that address barking dogs.
Marion County Dog Control also encourages complainants to contact Neighbor-to-Neighbor so they can set up a meeting between themselves and the dog owner to work toward resolving this issue.
If the officer determines they can proceed with enforcement, the results of the mediation with Neighbor-2-Neighbor will become a part of the case file to be used in the hearing process.
