I've managed to find a job out there, however am wondering about the likelihood of my partner finding something. She's Polish, and a qualified teacher of English; having graduated from a Polish teacher training college, she also holds an MA in Polish philology. Are schools out there/visa regulations only looking for native speakers? Additionally, does anybody have any idea of who may be hiring? I searched for international schools in Almaty, but have a feeling that not all may be listed online. Thanks in advance for any info.

I know that private training centers take non native speakers but I am not sure about international schools. I should caveat this by saying that Feb - March 2012 saw the rolling out of some new regulations for foreigner employment in KZ that may or may not have an impact on what I said above.

I got back from a 2-year stint in Georgia and would love to get back to that region but I'd like to make some money (Georgia was a volunteer ship). A college of mine is in Almaty and he loves it but he's not teaching so he can't answer my questions. Are jobs easy to find there and would I need a ESL cert or just experience?

Before Match.com, just as "Sex and the City" was making a splash, and before bookstores were embattled, "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" arrived on the scene. In a series of linked stories published in 1999, young women could see themselves as they negotiated friendship, romance and one of the most dangerous places of all: the workplace. At the heart of these stories is Jane Rosenal, the clever and slightly ironic young woman trying to make her way in the world and guide readers through the sticky marsh of life.
A new edition of the book recently published attests that the book has held up since it first appeared. And the Tribune can claim a bit part in Melissa Bank's success: She won the Tribune's Nelson Algren Short Story Award in 1993.

The Fed's quantitative easing policy will be "disastrous," according to Jim Bianco, but prices for riskier assets will rise over the near term as a result. In remarks last week, Bianco, the head of the Chicago-based economic research firm that bears his name, also gave the US economy a near failing grade of C, and warned that inflation will be "problematic."
Assessing Fed policy and its effects on the economy and the markets was the subject of a talk Bianco gave last Wednesday at a lunch sponsored by the Boston Security Analyst Society.
"Fed policy will produce the worst possible outcome," he said. "It will make rich people richer, because rich people own stocks, and they will go up. And it will make a poor people poorer, because it is not going to create jobs and they are going to pay higher gasoline prices."
Let's review Bianco's forecast for the economy and inflation and how he believes the Fed's policies will affect markets.
A weak economy
Bianco called himself an "old-school" economist who believes in leading, coincident and lagging indicators. He cited several such indicators to justify his weak forecast for the US economy.
The economy is not in or heading toward a recession, he said, despite warnings from the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI). But he said that firm's leading indicator – as well as the Chicago Fed National Activity index – both forecast GDP growth of approximately 2.5%. Bloomberg is estimating 1.8% GDP growth in the third quarter and only 2% for the fourth quarter.
Bianco said economists have been consistently downgrading their Q3 and Q4 GDP forecasts, as well as forecasts for sub-components such as industrial production and payroll.
Operating earnings for the S&P 500 were down approximately 1% in Q2, he said, and Q3 is expected to be negative as well. Forecasts for Q4 are falling rapidly, Bianco said, although some analysts are forecasting a rebound.
On the revenue side, there was 1% growth in Q2 and forecasts call for negative growth in Q3, he said. That would be ominous, according to Bianco, because every time quarterly S&P 500 revenues have shrunk, a recession has followed shortly thereafter. That follows naturally, since approximately $11 trillion of our $16 trillion economy comes from the sales of S&P 500 companies. Without growth in that component, it's unlikely the overall economy will grow, Bianco said.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian are TABU
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are two peas in the pod as they celebrate LeAnn's 28th birthday at TABU Ultra Lounge at the MGM Grand Resort Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday (September 4).
Eddie really stepped up to the plate and got jewelry for LeAnn's birthday! "Eddie gave me some rose gold bangles which were beautiful. It was very sweet!", said LeAnn.
As for her birthday wishes, she only asked for "peace and quiet"! I guess Eddie's two children – Mason, 7 and Jake, 3, are a bit rowdy!

Nov. 14, 2005
LEXINGTON, Ky. _ There was national notoriety and a potential brush with greatness waiting for the Lipscomb Bisons basketball team.
But in the end the multiple scoreboards at Rupp Arena read Kentucky 67, Lipscomb 49 Monday night in the regional title game of the Guardians Classic. But the story goes much deeper than the final score.
For Lipscomb fans, and maybe even some Kentucky fans as well, this game will be remembered for Lipscomb forward Eddie Ard coming off the bench to score a game-high 22 points, center Shaun Durant pulling down a game-high 12 rebounds despite giving up precious inches inside and for a Bisons team that refused to go away until the bitter end.
For 35 minutes the Bisons gave the top 10-ranked Wildcats of the Southeastern Conference a battle, keeping most of the 19,369 fans in their seats until the final three minutes.
"It was a real battle out there," said Kentucky Coach Orlando "Tubby" Smith. "I knew Scott Sanderson would have his team ready to play. Obviously, growing up in a household around Coach Wimp Sanderson, he learned a lot.
"His teams play extremely hard. I was very impressed with their athleticism. They ran the floor extremely well."
The blue mist of Rupp Arena did not intimidate the Bisons. Lipscomb guard Brian Fisk set the tempo early with a layup at `19:16, the first field goal of the game. The Bisons last lead was 9-7 with 15:43 left in the half. Back-to-back lay-ups by Kentucky guard Rajon Rondo gave the Wildcats a 11-9 edge.
"We came out here thinking we could win," said Lipscomb Coach Scott Sanderson. "I told our players to play as smart as they could and we would have a chance to win. I thought for 35 minutes we battled, but we ended up having a hard time with turnovers."
A lay-up by Durant tied the score at 11-11 with 13 minutes left in the half. Back-to-back free throws by Ravi Moss put the Wildcats up 13-11 and they never gave up the lead.
The Bisons, however, refused to go away easily against the first top 10- nationally-ranked NCAA team they have ever played and in front of the biggest crowd they have ever faced.
Kentucky would lead by 11 twice in the final six minutes of the first half, but at intermission the Bisons trailed by only eight at 30-22.
The Bisons, sparked by the scoring of Ard, continued to chip away at the Wildcats. With 14:23 left in the game the Bisons trailed 36-34 thanks to a jump shot by Ard. A lay-up by Rondo at 13:45 gave the Wildcats a 38-34 lead. But the Bisons came back on a lay-up by Durant to cut the lead to 38-36 with 12:51 left to play.
"When I looked at Eddie Ard, it looked like he was playing in his own backyard and nobody was guarding him," said Smith. "We were trying to keep him down, but he had 18 points in the second half. He just played extremely well."
Ard admitted he felt pressure playing in front of the Wildcats crowd, but he also admitted playing a team of this caliber brought out the best in him.
"At one point I felt like I could hit anything I shot," said Ard who was nine-of-12 from the field and three-of-four from the free throw line. "I'm a competitor. Our team has a lot of fierce competitors, even though we are a small school. Everyone on this team has the heart of a big time Division I school. Regardless of who we are playing against _ Duke or Kentucky _ we are going to come out and compete."
Competing is exactly what they did. The Bisons would keep the game close trailing 48-43 with 6:49 on the clock. But the Wildcats started pulling away in the final six minutes to ice the victory.
"Down the stretch they made some key 3-pointers and we struggled with some of their screens keeping Rondo in front of us," Sanderson said. "Kentucky did a good job of spacing us out and that hurt us.
"I'm not into moral victories, but I can't be more proud of my group of guys. They played their hearts out and gave me all they had."
Durant finished with a game-high 12 rebounds. The Bisons held a 34-30 rebounding advantage over Kentucky.
"Durant was a big, physical kid inside," Smith said.
Lipscomb guard James Poindexter was the only other Bisons player in double figures with 10.
Rondo led Kentucky with 19 points. Moss added 13 and Ramel Bradley chipped in 12.
"I know Lipscomb and their staff and team did a fantastic job in a very hostile arena here," said Smith. "They will win a lot of games this year."
The Bisons, 1-1, play another SEC opponent Sunday afternoon when they travel to Auburn for a 2 p.m. game.
Sanderson put the Kentucky game in perspective as it affects the rest of the season for the Bisons, especially their play in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
"This game, with all the national exposure and notoriety, was great," said Sanderson. "We don't have to beat Kentucky to make the NCAA Tournament. We have to beat the teams in the Atlantic Sun Conference that are more comparable to us.
"I don't think there is a better environment in college basketball than playing in Rupp Arena, and I think our guys played very well for most of the game. This experience is going to be good for us."

A California man accused of posting comments on ESPN's website saying he was watching kids and wouldn't mind killing them was in jail Tuesday on $1 million bail after he was arrested for investigation of making terrorist threats, authorities said. Several guns were found Monday at the home of former Yale University student Eric Yee, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Steve Low.
Yee was arrested after the sports network ESPN reported threatening posts were made in a reader response section to an online ESPN story on Thursday about new Nike sneakers named after LeBron James that cost $270 a pair. Some of the nearly 3,000 reader comments on the story talked about children possibly getting killed over the sneakers because of how expensive they are, said ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys. "What he was posting had nothing to do with sports," Soltys said Tuesday. "We closely monitor the message boards and anytime we get a threat, we're alerting law enforcement officials."
Calif. man arrested for ESPN post on killing kids - Yahoo! News
I think most of us are careful as to what we have to comment on. But I wouldn't advertise the warning to alert the truly 'guilty' ones who post threats of violence or stalking intentions of innocent folks --- those clowns deserve to be monitored or caught for their violations.
I sent that Ancestry site some information on my family tree. They sent me back a pack of seeds and suggested that I start over.
LOS ANGELES -- Rants, racist remarks and menacing words permeate the Internet these days, so why did police decide to arrest a Yale dropout for investigation of making online death threats against children and initially hold him on a bail amount usually reserved for suspected killers?
Authorities said they considered several factors in the case against 21-year-old Eric Yee, who was arrested this week after commenting about a story on ESPN's website about the cost of new Nike sneakers named after LeBron James.
Authorities claimed Yee said he wouldn't mind killing children, and that there were unregistered weapons in the Valencia, Calif., house he shares with his parents that overlooks two schools.
Yee was charged Wednesday with a single count of possessing an illegal firearm, and his arraignment was postponed until Oct. 16, district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
Prosecutors initially held Yee on $1 million bail, which was reduced to $100,000 at a hearing. It wasn't immediately clear if prosecutors would still pursue the threat allegation.
Yee's father, Roger Manfoo Yee, 62, also was charged with possessing an illegal firearm. Robison said he had not been arrested.
Prosecutors described the firearm in question as an H&K M-94 assault weapon.
The Yees' lawyer David Wallin said the weapon was bought by Roger Yee 27 years ago when it was legal to own, and had never been fired. Eric Yee didn't even know his father owned such a weapon, said Wallin.
"(Eric) happened to be in a house with a weapon that he never touched, never fired and never even knew was there," Wallin said.
ESPN is based in Connecticut, where a worker told police about the online threat posting. Authorities said it also referred to a shooting that would be like the one in Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were killed and 58 others injured during a screening of the latest Batman movie.
Arresting Eric Yee and initially imposing the steep bail was a sign of how seriously investigators in the digital age are taking threats that could escalate, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Steve Low said.
"These cases are not always cut and dry," said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles that files less than 10 threat cases a year. "While there are challenges, we have to be vigilant because people sometimes follow through on these threats."
Some of the nearly 3,000 reader comments on the ESPN website talked about children possibly getting killed over the expensive sneakers. Eric Yee posted that he was watching children and wouldn't mind killing them, authorities said.
Wallin said Eric Yee was simply trying to give his social and political commentary on shoes that cost $270 and was paraphrasing from the movie "American Psycho."
"His entire intent was to talk about his views on these shoes and what they represented," Wallin said. "I could say this is felony stupid but he's not guilty of making criminal threats."
California law states that a person can be convicted of making a criminal threat – whether orally, in writing or by means of email or on the Internet – if someone takes it as a threat and even if the person doesn't intend to carry it out.
Investigators wouldn't say if there is any evidence that Eric Yee might act on the threat, but legal experts believe the bail amount was very high for a person suspected of the offense.
The presumptive bail for making a criminal or terrorist threat is $50,000, and it would take many specific circumstances to push it much higher, said Hanni Fakhoury, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a former federal public defender who is not involved in the case.
Wallin acknowledged there were two firearms in the home – a rifle and pistol – that belonged to Yee's father.
He added that Eric Yee planned to leave the house after recently signing a lease for an apartment in New York, where he planned to start an investment business.
"The way this has been portrayed in the media from the accounts given by law enforcement is scaring the hell out of everybody," Wallin said. "He's been portrayed as Atilla the Hun."
The posting touched on two topics that draw increased attention from law enforcement – killing children and a mass shooting. Such comments could be protected as free speech under the First Amendment, but even that freedom can be trumped in the post-9/11 era.
"I think that it really comes down to exactly what was said, how the threats were made and if they were credible," said Doug Mirell, a Los Angeles attorney who specializes in First Amendment cases. "Bottom line is, if this is a true threat it's not protected by the First Amendment."
Sheriff's investigators said they were looking at several computers to see if Eric Yee had made any similar posts on the Internet. They also were working with police in Bristol, Conn., and Yale University, which said Yee was a student until he withdrew this May for undisclosed reasons.
Yale officials said he had been expected to graduate with a bachelor's degree in economics this past spring. A Yale website listed him as a member of its class of 2012 and a participant in a leadership training program.

For more than a century, the Monitor has chronicled humanity's journey. We do not flinch from writing about wars, repression, and corruption. But we also make a point of watching for progress.
Why do we see that as the Monitor's mission? Keith Collins, a former Monitor staffer, has written a well-researched history of this newspaper that examines that question. The story he tells is valuable if you are a journalism buff, a Monitor fan, a Christian Scientist, or a person of any faith (or none) who wonders what drives this 104-year-old enterprise – which carries the name of a religious denomination but is widely accepted as a nondenominational source of thoughtful, accurate, world news.
Not every part of Mr. Collins's book, "The Christian Science Monitor: Its History, Mission, and People," will make everyone happy. As in any history, some facts and conclusions are arguable. I found this to be so in a section dealing with the internal tensions that led to the resignation of Kay Fanning as editor in 1988 and the subsequent rise and fall of an ambitious broadcasting venture.
Collins distills the central question facing the Monitor as this: Did Mary Baker Eddy found the Monitor as "mainly a good, public-spirited newspaper that represented a more constructive approach to journalism?" Or was it "not designed to make people comfortable so much as to upgrade how they thought, helping them become less fearful and selfish, more perceptive and generous?" He notes that throughout the Monitor's history, its editors, reporters, governing boards, subscribers, and members of the church have sincerely stood on both sides of that question. But why should it be either/or? Why not both/and? Public-spirited journalism and the decreasing of fear and selfishness are not mutually exclusive.
In any endeavor – from government to business, family to church – people disagree. But if motives are honest and noble, they have a divine source, which allows us to respect and value each other's best efforts.
Many readers will value and respect Collins's work. And who can argue with his conclusion – that the Monitor is not living up to its full potential? Like humanity itself, the Monitor can always do better.
John Yemma is editor of The Christian Science Monitor.

SAC to Sponsor Four New Sports Starting in 2013-14July 3, 2012
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Beginning in the 2013-14 academic year, the South Atlantic Conference will sponsor men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, men's outdoor track and field, and women's outdoor track and field as championship sports.
The addition of the four new sports was officially voted on and approved by the SAC Presidents Council at the league's annual meeting last month. It will bring the number of SAC championship sports to 18.
"We're excited to add lacrosse and track in 2013-14," said Commissioner Patrick Britz. "In doing so, many more student-athletes will be given the unique opportunity of competing in the SAC.
"By officially becoming SAC championship sports, we believe these lacrosse and track programs will offer greater visibility to their respective campuses and the conference while continuing to enhance the overall student-athlete experience."
With the pending addition of Coker College and Queens University of Charlotte in July 2013 to the league's membership, lacrosse and track will meet the requirements for conference sport sponsorship, as outlined in article XV of the SAC Bylaws.
Lacrosse and track will be part of the SAC spring sports season. Dates and locations of the inaugural lacrosse and track SAC Championships will be determined in the coming months.
The SAC will also form ad-hoc committees this summer to discuss sport policies and scholarship maximums for the sports.
Men's lacrosse is currently played at Catawba, Coker, Lenoir-Rhyne, Mars Hill, Queens and Wingate, while women's lacrosse is sponsored at Catawba, Lenoir-Rhyne, Newberry and Queens.
Tusculum is poised to add both men's and women's lacrosse in advance of the 2013-14 season, while Wingate and Coker also plan to develop women's programs prior to it becoming a SAC sport.
Men's and women's track are currently sponsored sports at Anderson, Brevard, Carson-Newman, Lenoir-Rhyne, Mars Hill, Queens and Wingate.

|Nine suspected militants killed in Orakzai airstrikes
|[Dawn] Nine suspected hard boyz were killed and three hideouts demolished in
... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...
, DawnNews reported on Thursday.
According to assistant political agent Rafiq Mohmand, the
An ongoing military offensive against suspected hard boyz in the tribal agency appears to have gained momentum, with security forces claiming to have killed dozens of hard boyz and destroyed their hideouts in the past week.
Security officials claim that up to 92 per cent of Orakzai agency has been cleared of hard boyz in the ongoing military offensive in the restive tribal region.
Orakzai is one of Pakistain's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions in the northwest, where Pak Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked hard boyz are said to have carved out strongholds.

I thought it might be useful to people involved in the designer challenge if we also had some sort of critiquing/advice/commenting after the fact. I'm not quite sure how this should look, and I'm open to suggestions.
There's a good article here about critiquing, which I could modify for our design purposes.
Should everyone involved in the challenge critique for everyone else? Or should it be more limited? And where should the critiquing happen?

Focus, analyze and boost brainpower
Dallas morning news
Want to make your brain smarter? ¶ Slow down and dig deeper, advises Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, a neuroscientist who has spent nearly 30 years studying this question. ¶ It's not an easy prescription in a multitasking age where the pinging of messages distracts your train of thought and schools reward rote memory, she concedes.
But her research shows that the brain's true growth occurs only when we focus, analyze and get those trains back on track.
Chapman, founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth of the University of Texas at Dallas, discusses her findings in her new book, "Make Your Brain Smarter: Increase Your Brain's Creativity, Energy and Focus" (Free Press, $26), written with Shelly Kirkland.
Q: Why do you think it's important to change what we mean by the word "smart"?
A: We tend to think that the smart person is the one who knows the most and retrieves the facts the quickest, but that's rote and rigid learning. You can create a robot that can do the same thing and in fact will surpass us. What really makes us smart is our ability to synthesize, abstract and process information.
Q: Why do the frontal lobes play such a key role in your research?
A: Our frontal lobes pull together all the information from all the sources we have and help us figure out what to do with it. The frontal lobes have the most complex and vast connections across brain regions and are the last part of the brain to fully develop, usually in our 20s, but they are also the first to decline because in our 40s we tend to go on automatic pilot in our thinking.
Q: So, you are saying the frontal lobes don't have to decline?
A: That's right. Our brains have neuroplasticity, which means that they are the most changeable part of our body. If I go on automatic pilot, I lose brain power. But if I work the organ, it can get better every single year. A lot of people have this idea that IQ is fixed and you're born smart or you're not. IQ was designed to see if kids had learning problems, to see their strengths and weaknesses. It was never meant to define the potential of the human mind or to say how far you're going to reach.
Q: Are you also saying, then, that the frontal lobes don't automatically reach their potential?
A: Yes. If children don't learn to weigh information rather than just take it in, if they don't learn how to see both sides and try to come up with ways to solve problems, then they aren't engaged in the higher order of thinking. If they're doing rote learning instead of using these deeper thinking skills, they may not build what they are supposed to build, which means that they may not end up with the discernment to make good judgments in other areas.
Q: Is technology good or bad for our brains?
A: There is some good to staying connected. The problem is that we're letting technology manage us more than we manage it. The more we keep ourselves in shallow, busy levels, the more our thinking gets fragmented, the more we are building a distracted brain that can't focus; we're building an ADD (attention-deficit disorder) brain. The frontal lobes require deeper-level thinking.
Q: What are the first steps we can take right now to build a smarter brain?
A: Do one thing at a time and hyperfocus, instead of multitask. Try to think of two important things you do that have been on automatic pilot and repeated in the same way far too long and brainstorm ways to shake them up. Be creative. When you go to a movie, ask yourself what the messages are and how can you apply them to yourself. Every time you do something new or understand something new, that stretches and builds complex frontal-lobe connections.
Tips for brain health
• Practice the "brainpower of none," and quiet your mind. Your brain solves complex problems when you step away to reflect on ideas rather than pushing nonstop.
• Practice the "brainpower of two." When writing your to-do list, focus on the two items that are the most pivotal to your success, will have the most impact, and will require the most attention and strategic thinking.
• Stretch and challenge your mind to construct deeper-level, abstracted ideas – for example, practice devising a newspaper headline to capture the essence of what you experienced during a social gathering.
• Expand your passion. Your brain is energized when motivational juices are flowing.
• Get a good night's sleep – a regular seven to eight hours. Your brain connects knowledge and experiences in new ways when at rest. Even a quick nap invites mind renewal.
• Don't check your email before bedtime! Give your brain a break.

I am an American, with a BS in business and a MA in TESOL plus 2 years work experience. I found a company in the US that will assist me with getting my visa, but I need to find a job before I can go to them. Ideally I would like to teach business english. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thank you! Back to top go2guyJoined: 15 Apr 2004Posts: 74Location: France Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2004 2:52 am Post subject: Sorry acoma, but the chance of getting a job without first going to France is next to impossible. Your credentials certainly would get you work, no doubt whatsoever. But a full-time contract position with which you can do the visa work will only be possible if you go there & find it yourself (others are welcome to disagree). Also, in Lyon there are so many teachers that the schools have no real need to offer full-time contracts. This is not to say there aren't schools elsewhere in France (and I recently spoke to another in Germany) that can offer full-time contracts to Americans. So, in my opinion if this is something you really want you will have to make an exploratory trip to find a company that will go to bat for you on the visa procedure. Good luck!

This counfounds me. I found it in my mother's jewelry box, but I never saw her wear it when she was alive. I cannot find something like it anywhere. The band is sort of spring-loaded, i.e., there is no clasp. It seems to be gold, and a decco design. I have searched everywhere to find something about the company (I don't think it still exists) and what the age might be. I would be thrilled if someone had an idea what I hold here...trash or treasure?

Prenda Law Issues Subpoena For IP Addresses Of Every Visitor To Critic Blogs For The Past Two Years
from the what-are-they-smoking? dept
Our client is requesting all Internet Protocol addresses (including the date and time of that access in Universal Coordinated Time) that accessed the blogs located at dietrolldie.com and fightcopyrighttrolls.com between January 1, 2011 through the present. Please provide this information in an Excel spreadsheet.The subpoena is from Paul Duffy, so it's a bit ridiculous to claim "our client" since he is the client. This seems like a pretty clear abuse of the subpoena process, though, coming from Prenda Law, whose specialty is doing anything it possibly can to get IP addresses, perhaps it's no surprise. The subpoena was issued in association with the original claim that was filed in state court. The cases have all been removed to federal court, and hopefully the lawyers at Wordpress know better than to just cough up this info like that. Even more ridiculously, Duffy tries to claim that this is an "emergency" so they shouldn't waste any time in handing over the info:
Due to the emergency nature of the requested information, it is imperative that your organization responds to the subpoena immediately. The requested information is perishable and vital to the claims asserted in a complaint alleging widespread and systematic defamation.What hogwash. They're looking for data going back to January of 2011. If Wordpress has logs going back that far, it's not like they're suddenly going to disappear. And, of course, the "widespread and systematic defamation" claims are already pretty questionable.
It's not difficult to look at this and see a likely attempt at creating chilling effects to try to scare people off from visiting those sites. Considering that Prenda has been collecting all sorts of IP addresses in its various copyright trolling lawsuits, can you imagine what they might do if they can cross reference IP addresses of visitors to those sites with the IP addresses they've already sued over?

Laser surgery useslaser light to remove diseased tissues or treat bleeding blood vessels. Laser surgery may also be usedto removewrinkles, sunspots, tattoos, or birthmarks.
Alternative Names
Surgery using a laser
A laser is a light beam that can be focused on a very small area. The laser heats cells in the area being treated until they "burst."
There are several types of lasers. Each laser has specific uses. The color of the light beam used is directly related to the type of surgery being performed and the color of the tissue being treated. Types of lasers include the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, alexandrite, KTP, and the pulsed dye laser.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Laser surgery can be used to:
- Close small blood vessels to reduce blood loss
- Remove
warts, moles, sunspots, and tattoos
- Reduce the appearance of skin wrinkles, scars, and other skin blemishes
- Remove dilated blood vessels from the face
- Remove hair
- Remove skin cells thatcould turn intocancer (
actinic keratoses)
Possible risks of laser surgery include:
- Cold sores if herpes simplex virus is already present
- Bleeding
- Problem not going away
- Infection
- Pain
- Scarring
- Skin color changes
Some laser surgery is done when you are asleep and pain free (
After the Procedure
The success of laser surgery depends on the condition being treated.Talk to your health care provider about what you can expect.
You may need to keep the skin moisturized and away from sun after treatment.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Recovery time depends on the surgery and your overall health. Your health care providerlet you know before surgery the recovery time you should need.

2017 US fall forecast: Warmth to linger in Northeast; Conditions ripe for tornado outbreaks from Texas to Tennessee
By Jillian MacMath, AccuWeather staff writer
August 03, 2017, 1:55:11 AM EDT
Summer warmth will linger into fall across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Meanwhile, areas farther south will remain alert for tropical hits long after summer has faded.
In the southern Plains, conditions will become ripe for severe weather, including possible tornado outbreaks.
2017 US fall forecast FINAL
Warmth to linger into fall across the Northeast, mid-Atlantic
As children head back to school and swimming pools are closed down for autumn, warm air will linger across much of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic.
That doesnt mean its going to be exceptionally warm, but we do feel [temperatures are] going to run above normal, AccuWeather Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.
However, rainfall will help to hold back extreme heat.
Its too soon to tell how these factors may affect the vibrancy of the regions foliage, but windstorms could prevent fall leaves from hanging around for too long, Pastelok said.
Late-season severe weather will threaten to kick in from Albany toward New York City and northern New Jersey.
2017 US fall forecast
Southeast to remain vulnerable to tropical hits
Though the Southeast had an easy start to the hurricane season in 2017, a few tropical hits may threaten to spoil the first half of fall.
We think that the areas that are more vulnerable this year are still the Gulf Coast and along the Carolina coast, Pastelok said.
In addition to tropical threats, frequent showers and thunderstorms could lead to flooding, including in areas which had drought last year, such as northern Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
Humidity will remain high across the region with few cooldowns predicted until late in the season.
Temperatures to bounce up and down in Midwest, northern Plains
Temperatures are predicted to fluctuate up and down throughout fall, as mild days are interspersed with cooler air.
You may be mild for a period, and the next week you could be cooled down for a week. I think thats the kind of flavor that were looking at in the fall coming up, Pastelok said.
This year, however, forecasters are predicting a bit of early-season snow, arriving as soon as October.
Its always a tough call when youre going to see that first snowfall in places like Chicago and Des Moines and St. Louis, Pastelok said.
Now, this fall may not be off that far from normal, but keep in mind its been very difficult to get cold weather in these places over the last several [fall seasons].
A few bouts of winter weather are also in the offing during November, he said.

Conditions to be ripe for tornado outbreaks across the southern Plains
Severe weather will threaten the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley as temperatures run above normal in the Gulf.
"If you get any of these mid- to late-season storms coming down in the northern Plains like were expecting, youre going to get a clash of air masses [in the southern Plains]," Pastelok said.
This clash could cause severe weather to erupt, with the threat for tornado outbreaks from Texas to Tennessee, he said.
Showers and thunderstorms may also lead to episodes of flooding in the lower valley of Texas.
Warmth, wildfires to linger across California; Storms to frequent Northwest
Rampant wildfires in the West will calm quickest in regions farther north, as storms stream in from the Pacific.
"Last year, they got slammed in late fall and winter in the Northwest as far as heavy rain and heavy snow go," Pastelok said."
A similar weather pattern this fall likely means the region will once again receive abundant precipitation - though not as much as during the fall of 2016.
According to Pastelok, water temperatures off the West coast are not as high as last year and, therefore, won't foster very strong storms.
Rain and snow will at least total normal levels and have the potential to climb slightly above normal, forecasters predict.
From southwestern Montana down toward California, drier conditions and lingering warmth mean it may take most of fall for wildfires to calm down.
The above is AccuWeather's Fall 2017 outlook, issued 8/3/17. We don't have a thread for fall yet so I figured I may as well make 2 years in a row that I started it.
The warmth hanging on in the northeast - there have been several mild to warm falls in a row. When was the last time that we really had a chilly fall? 2015 and 2016 were warm here. 2014 featured a normal September, warm October, and chilly November to average out at normal. It was also the best fall foliage of the 3 autumns I have enjoyed here. 2013 had a near normal September, warm October, and a chilly enough November to pull the average down to a bit below normal. Really you have to go to 2008 to find a normal September and chilly October and November - none of the 3 months above normal.
ENSO - in a state of flux and there does not seem to be a good handle on where it is going right now. There's been a sharp cooldown, likely in reaction to a post I made about "we could probably rule out a strong Nina"
Another outlook I had seen stated that the Northeast would have an above normal fall tied to warmer than normal ocean temperatures, but there are other factors. AccuWeather believed that the southeast coast (Carolina & Gulf) run the greatest risk of a tropical strike, and if you follow JB he's mentioned maybe once or twice about a 2004 analog when there were several strikes due to a correlation with the August pattern that seems to be developing now. AW has a changeable Plains, and stormy south (which would be dependent upon cold air intrusions from the north) plus a warm west.
I don't have anything to add of my own volition except that my oak trees have been dropping prolific amounts of acorns since mid July, much more than the past 2 years and earlier than in 2014. If any indication from the summer's pattern, we can expect some changeable weather in the east with stormy interludes. This has been a summer of rainy intervals and more thunderstorms here than normal. Last fall was pretty mild and dry, which continued the summer pattern. Of course a tropical system or two would spice things up.
Any thoughts?

The last couple of model runs have been a lot of fun.
Euro, CMC and GFS all in agreement today that a nor'easter that we'd really like to see 4 or 5 months from now is instead going to come in early August.
00z GFS still has it. It almost appears that the remnants from the Aug 4-5 cutter get hung up in Colorado, but it gets going with a severe outbreak in Nebraska on the 6th that holds together into Missouri/Arkansas for a bit on the 7th before weakening. A weak LP appears over southern Indiana 12z on the 7th spreading rain in front of it as far east as I-95 in the Mid Atlantic. By midnight the low is sitting right over Baltimore and there is decent rain going on right where everyone seems to love it so much this summer...MD/DE/PA/NJ/VA. 6 hours later it is over NYC and 6 hours later over Boston and the rain hangs on in New England into the 9th. It seems as if it holds more precip over eastern Maine longer, and they are actually a little dry so they could use it.
On the 7th and 8th in the more southern areas and Apps and the 8th/9th in New England, clouds and rain hold the temperatures down. It appears NYC, DC and Baltimore will struggle to 70 one or two days, PA's in the 60s, meanwhile up here we will be in the 60s and maybe upper 50s.
From what I can tell, the 12z Euro seemed just a bit north of the GFS - maybe 50 miles - and CMC's 00z went south pulling it almost due east through VA and not curving NE until offshore, pounding the DC/Baltimore area with heavy rain but making it a quick hitter with overrunning portion mostly in NE. Of note CMC also shows the severe outbreak generating in Nebraska before going into Missouri/Arkansas over the next 6-12 hours on the 6th. CMC also warmer with closer to 80 on the 7th in the areas GFS has struggling to 70, the 8th is fairly chilly over the whole MA/NE with 60s and low 70s, while it rebounds into mainly 70s and even 80F in the southern MA on the 9th. This is a switch from the 12z CMC, which was similar to the GFS if just a little faster with it.
Now I know most summers are good for a cutoff or two from Memorial Day into mid June, or perhaps something stalls in August. Even hotter periods like July 1990 or August 2007 will have a rainy day with 60s breaking up the 90s, but this is the third event since the beginning of July like this. I can't imagine that its too windy an event - the lowest the LP gets on any model I saw was 998 when exiting stage right from Nova Scotia.

Snow started here in northern New Hampshire just before 7AM and quickly became heavy. 10-14" or 12-18" expected, depending on the forecaster.
This should boost us easily into the top 5 all time Februaries (since 1959 anyway) here.
5 May 2016
How about some love for Autumn? The summer discussion is active and folks are posting in the winter 2016-17 forum. Let's not forget about September-November!
The last time we transitioned quickly from a strong Nino to a Nina was in the fall of 1998. Living in Maryland at the time, a relatively normal (within a degree or so) summer 1998 was followed by a warm September, a mild October, and a normal November (before a warm December). Calendar 1998 was one of three years with every month's average 40F or above at BWI...the other years being 1949 and 1932.
The outstanding detail of the fall of 1998 was the developing dryness. The first several months of 1998 were a bit on the wet side. Precip started to tail off in July, and the fall months were very dry. Only 3.46" of rain fell from 9/1 to 11/30, the driest fall since 1930 which was the driest year on record when only half the normal rainfall was recorded for the year. Drought was developing, with only January 1999 above normal all the way until September, when Hurricane Floyd and a few other systems ended the drought.
Prior to that, in September 1983 coming off another strong Nino, it was the 4th consecutive month of dryness, but October and November were wet enough to bring autumn precip to normal, while temperatures were maybe a degree above normal for all three months (a warm start in September with some 90s was evened out by a cool spell the last 4-5 days).
In New Hampshire, Fall 1998's temps were similar to the experience at BWI. North Conway temps were a degree or so above normal in September and October while normal in November. But precip was well above normal in October, and although there were a couple very dry months mixed in, both 1998 and 1999 annual precip were above normal.
In NH in 1983, a warm September was followed by a normal Oct-Nov. For precip it started dry but October was a little closer to normal, and November was a soaker. Snow did fall in both November 1983 and 1998, but a bit below the average (November snowfall is usually hit or miss here).
Will the autumn of 2016 be different this year than 2015? Last year, hints of leaf change started to show in August but were put on hold by a very warm September. In fact, leaves peaked about a week later (around Oct. 10) than they did in 2014. October was near normal overall with a mid month cold snap (and half inch of snow) evened out by a couple warm periods, while November was again warm.
Not having central AC and not being a fan of hot weather to begin with, I will be looking forward to the Fall!
26 Dec 2014
OK starting a thread for the first time because its very slow and everyone else is still sleeping off the holiday, I guess...maybe I will have better luck.
Several models have been showing this storm for most runs since late on the 24th. This is a separate entity than the Dec 31-Jan 2 thread which several models now show going offshore to the south in the Virginia Beach area....or not really organizing anything at all.
The 6z 12/26 GFS is on the faster side, with wintry precip breaking out along the Mason-Dixon and in WV ahead of a low centered over SW Kentucky early on 1/3, before kicking out a low off the Jersey shore 12 hours later (snow changes to rain for most of everyone east of I-81 and south of I-84), then heading NE to give New England a light/moderate snow event and a mix for NYC.
Here is Hour 204 GFS:
GFS_Hour_204.png ( 142.7K ) Number of downloads: 1307
What does the 6z PGFS do? It takes this storm to the lakes, moving the low on a track from central Missouri to Detroit and then skirting the Canadian border in New England. This means iniital light snow or frozen precip for anyone north of Baltimore/west of I-95 which then goes over to rain within 12 hours. No need to post an image; we just lived this a few days ago.
CMC is painting the most interesting picture right now. First of all, its slower in developing and second, features a retreating 1040 MB high over New England setting up a CAD situation. At 6z on 1/4, heavy snow is breaking out west of 95 and in MD in PA out ahead of a low in Kentucky. 6 hours later it looks like it is transferring to a low south of NYC, which means a frozen mess for west of I-95 to I-81 and snow up into southern New England away from the coast and up my way. Check out this fun map:
Hour 228 CMC:
CMC_Hour_228.png ( 151.37K ) Number of downloads: 1330
The storm then chugs to the Maine coast giving New England a nice snow dump away from the coast. Smiles abound for snow lovers from DC to New England west of I-95:
CMC_Total_Snow.png ( 132.38K ) Number of downloads: 1331
Euro? I don't have premium access but 0z looks similar to PGFS just a tad slower, sending a low from the Oklahoma Panhandle at midnight on 1/3 to north of Detroit 24 hours later and surely giving yet another soaker to the entire east coast, even the mountains of New England. The Euro depicts the New Year's shot of cold air being very transient and not really reloading to the west while setting up quite a SE ridge.
So let's kick off the roller coaster from torch to no storm to slider to BECS!

She was 87.
Born on Oct. 3, 1925 in Lubbock, Texas, Belt moved to San Diego when she was six months old. Her family settled in Ocean Beach, where she lived most of her life.
She graduated from Point Loma High School and San Diego State University, married Jude Belt and had two children. While raising her family she became active in the Ocean Beach Elementary PTA, later becoming president. She also became a member of the Eastern Star organization, joining her husband, who was a Mason in the local Masonic Lodge. After raising her family she worked for the San Diego County as a training facilitator, assisting the unemployed in finding employment.
After retiring, she purchased a recreational vehicle and traveled throughout the U.S. Upon returning, she pursued her passion for gardening and got her master gardner's certificate. Dolly's garden was locally renowned and flourished from spring through fall. She had a perfusion of brilliant flowers and generously shared bouquets with friends and family.
She loved Ocean Beach, swimming by the pier and was active in the Ocean Beach Historical So-ciety.
Dolly's spirit of optimism, love, compassion and joy touched most everyone she met. She had a special sparkle and spread her light to so many. She maintained large and varied circles of friends and was a member of the Xzepha's, a club of women formed while she was in Point Loma High School and to this day meets monthly.
She loved her children fiercely and adored her grandson, Dylan, beyond words. Dolly's special footprint for spreading her love will be felt on this world for a very long time.
She is survived by her son, Randy Belt; daughter-in-law Celia of Texas; daughter Lola Mattraya; grandson Dylan Fortier of Ocean Beach; brother Marshall Malcolm of La Mesa; and many loving relatives.
A private service will be held. Her choice for donations would be either the National Wildlife Federation or National Kidney Foundation.

Scientists often are evaluated by metrics based on citations of scientific papers, because of a common belief that more citations equates higher quality. Is is so? A commonly used metric, the Journal Impact Factor, mainly considers the citations of other scientists' papers. Does this make sense?
In a recently published invited essay in European Science Editing, Frank Krell discusses a few crucial aspects and misunderstandings of the Journal Impact Factor as a performance indicator.
Abstract. The Journal Impact Factor is the most commonly applied metric for evaluation of scientific output. It is a journal-focused indicator that shows the attention a journal attracts. It does not necessarily indicate quality, but high impact factors indicate a probability of high quality. As an arithmetic mean of data originating from all authors of a journal with a high variance, it is inapplicable to evaluate individual scientists. For quantifying the performance of authors, author-focused citation metrics are to be used, such as the h-index, but self-citations should be excluded ("honest h-index" hh). All citation metrics suffer from the incompleteness of the databases they source their data from. This incompleteness is unequally distributed between disciplines, countries and language-groups. The Journal Impact Factor has its limitations, but if they are taken into consideration, it is still an appropriate indicator for journal performance.

Amid the announcements of smart phones and smart TVs at the Consumer Electronics Show on Monday was news of a smart product that even non-tech fans can appreciate – a way to chill a warm can of beer in less than five minutes.
A large-capacity LG refrigerator with French doors that will go on the market later this year will include a special compartment called Blast Chiller.
Just put in a 12-ounce can of your favorite beverage at room temperature and it'll be frosty in five minutes. And if you've got unexpected guests on the way, you can chill two cans or one bottle of wine in eight minutes.
Normal freezers take at least 40 minutes to cool down a drink.
"This is perfect for chilling a can of beer on a hot summer afternoon," said chief technology officer Scott Ahn.

A look at the 65W AMD A8-3800
Subject: General Tech | October 6, 2011 - 12:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, A8-3800, llano, APU, Turbo Core
When the A8-3850 hit the streets we were so accustomed to high powered CPUs that we barely blinked at the 100W power envelope it and the A6-3650 required. That is a big change from just a few years ago when hitting or passing 100W tended to bring a lot of negative comments from reviewers. AMD since released the lower powered A8-3800 and A6-3600, both of which have slightly lower CPU frequencies but the exact same graphics specifications. The Tech Report took the A8-3800 out for a spin to examine not only the power draw but to see how well the Turbo Core feature works. See how it turned out for AMD's newest Llano chips in the full review.
"We weren't terribly impressed with AMD's A8-3850 APU when we first reviewed it, in part because its 100W power envelope seemed rather large for a chip whose integrated graphics are a major selling point. Happily, the new A8-3800 slides into a cool 65W power envelope and adds Turbo Core clock frequency scaling. Can it win our approval? Keep reading to find out."
