Single Output LDO, 150mA, Adj.(1.5 To 5.5V), Fast Transient Response, Power Good(PG) Output
The TPS771xx and TPS772xx are low-dropout Regulators with integrated power-on reset and power good (PG) function respectively. These devices are capable of supplying 150 mA of output current with a dropout of 115 mV TPS77133 TPS77233 . Quiescent current is 92 uA at full load dropping down to 1 uA when device is disabled. These devices are optimized to be stable with a wide range of output capacitors including low ESR ceramic (10uF) or low capacitance (1uF) tantalum capacitors. These devices have extremely low noise output performance (55 uVrms) without using any added Filter capacitors. TPS771xx and TPS772xx are designed to have fast transient response for larger load current changes.
The TPS771xx or TPS772xx is offered in 1.5 V, 1.8-V, 2.7-V, 2.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0 V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable version (programmable over the range of 1.5 V to 5.5 V). Output voltage tolerance is 2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The TPS771xx and TPS772xx families are available in 8-pin MSOP (DGK) packages.
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically 115 mV at an output current of 150 mA for 3.3 volt option) and is directly proportional to the output current. Additionally, since the PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and independent of output loading (typically 92 uA over the full range of output current, 0 mA to 150 mA). These two key specifications yield a significant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems.
The device is enabled when the EN pin is connected to a low-level input voltage. This LDO family also features a sleep mode; applying a TTL high signal to EN (enable) shuts down the Regulator reducing the quiescent current to less than 1 uA at TJ = 25C.
The TPS771xx features an integrated power-on reset, commonly used as a supply Voltage Supervisor (SVS) or reset output voltage. The RESET output of the TPS771xx initiates a reset in DSP microcomputer or Microprocessor systems at power up and in the event of an undervoltage condition. An internal Comparator in the TPS771xx monitors the output voltage of the Regulator to detect an undervoltage condition on the regulated output voltage. When OUT reaches 95% of its regulated voltage, RESET will go to a high-impedance state after a 220 ms delay. RESET will go to low-impedance state when OUT is pulled below 95% (i.e. over load condition) of its regulated voltage.
For the TPS772xx, the power good terminal (PG) is an active high output, which CAN be used to implement a power-on reset or a low-battery indicator. An internal Comparator in the TPS772xx monitors the output voltage of the Regulator to detect an undervoltage condition on the regulated output voltage. When OUT falls below 82% of its regulated voltage, PG will go to a low-impedance state. PG will go to a high-impedance state when OUT is above 82% of its regulated voltage.

The email problem we encountered a couple of days ago really took a toll on our feature push schedule. An external factor due to a 3rd party mistake was the root cause of all the mail delivery problem. The 3rd party was able to resolve this matter on their end but it nevertheless wasted two full days of our time. No one is perfect and we are just glad the problem is behind us so we can move forward.
April Schedule:
- First week of April: Complete the 4 character support for all part of the site. Currently the category listing page and story line-items are not showing all four.
- Mid to Late April: At least one large feature push. If everything goes smoothly, April will overshadow March by a significant margin.
- Random chapter text not found error.
- Dark theme making drop-down menus invisible.
- We are investigating some minor issues with IE8 browser not saving font changes. Regardless of the eventual fix, we highly recommend all Vista/Windows7 users to upgrade to IE9 immediately. XP users should use Chrome/Firefox as a temporary workaround.
- Many fonts in the fontastic panel will not be available for Windows XP users. XP cannot correctly render many of the newer fonts without changing system configuration and we have decided to drop the support of these fonts for XP users. XP users can only select system type fonts such as Verdana, Arial, and a few others.
- IE6/7 Support. We will no longer officially support users on IE6/7 browsers. Please upgrade to IE8/9. IE6/7 is way too old and we will not test any future features on them. The site will still function on pre IE8/9 but just not officially supported.

In a 1993 episode of the television series "Seinfeld," Jerry finds himself unable to remember the name of the woman he's dating. When trying to get her to say it, he receives his only clue: The name rhymes with a part of the female anatomy. Jerry and his pal George Costanza consider some possibilities like Aretha and Bovary, before Jerry is forced to bite the bullet and call her Mulva to her face. As she storms out, Jerry hazards another guess -- Gipple -- but it isn't until the woman is on the street that Jerry runs to his window and yells, with gusto, "Dolores!"
The next day, a man in Wisconsin recounted the episode to a female coworker, thinking that she would find it as funny as he did. Rather than say the word "clitoris," though, he showed her the dictionary entry of the word (which, we should note, doesn't precisely rhyme with Dolores). The woman reported the man for sexual harassment, he was fired, and years of lawsuits began.
While this incident is tangled up in the thorny issue of what constitutes sexual harassment, it also speaks to our society's discomfort with women's private parts. We certainly don't hear much about vaginas on television -- in 2006, the creator of the show "Grey's Anatomy" was told that she had used the word "vagina" too much on her program, and she was asked to use a euphemism; thus, "va-jay-jay" was born [source: Rosenbloom]. The nickname was adopted by many people too uncomfortable to say the actual word. While jokes about penises are a dime a dozen, vaginas, vulvas and G-spots are considered unmentionable. Scientific researchers, perhaps operating on the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," have shunned the vagina for decades, which means we know much less about the female anatomy in comparison to the male counterparts. Even women -- the sex that actually has vaginas -- may not know much about them.
Why are vaginas so taboo? Well, the male reproductive system is obviously easier to study and understand -- the penis is outside the body, whereas much of the female reproductive system is internal. But throughout history, female sexuality has been a dangerous, forbidden thing in comparison to male sexuality. While some can accept that babies make their entrance to the world via the vagina, they may become uncomfortable when discussing how the vagina does (or does not) bring a woman sexual pleasure.
In this article, however, nothing is off limits. We'll discuss the vagina's role in human reproduction as well as its sexual function. What's normal? What's not? If you've ever wondered what's up with the area down there, read on.

Cloud-based storage, replete with pros and cons, gaining traction
Cost savings, security assurances, ease of use and consumerization all have a hand in growing popularity of cloud-based storage.
When Merced College Director of IT Don Peterson crunched the numbers, it was impossible not to lean toward cloud-based storage for server backup and data recovery. The purchase of new storage hardware alone to support the data demands of nearly 18,000 students, staff and faculty at the Merced, Calif.-based institution would cost more than $200,000.
A cloud storage solution from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Zetta Inc. that was researched and proposed by Arlis Brotner, Peterson's network manager, started at $225 a month.
"You can see how the model makes sense," Peterson said. "We would have had to do a large capital outlay for all the hardware, all the software, all the power to run it. A cloud storage provider has already invested in all that infrastructure, so they can share that with multiple customers and divide the cost out."
Consumerization of IT another driver of cloud storage
What to store in the cloud is a conversation Gene Ruth, an analyst specializing in cloud storage at Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc., often has with clients. Typically, as at California's Merced College, clients are interested in cloud-based storage for backup and archiving. But he's noticing an emerging phenomenon: Where a year ago he was never asked about file syncing and sharing capabilities, now those calls come daily. Thanks to apps like the Dropbox file hosting service, consumers are getting comfortable with online file syncing and sharing services, and they expect their IT organization to give them equal capabilities at work.
"A big IT organization will come to me and say, 'Our users are on Dropbox; they're completely outside of corporate policy, out of IT policy, and our hair is on fire, so we as an IT organization want to address that,'" Ruth said. "And good for them! They're not saying they're going to stop it, they're saying they're going to offer their own capability. That's an important, complex conversation, because it's driving a whole new mechanism for delivery of files to end user employees."
Ruth is glad to see IT organizations' eagerness to respond to consumer expectations, because, like driving down costs and dealing with the growing volume of data, it addresses the need for IT to be responsive to changing business needs. "When the CEO walks into the CIO's office and says, 'We need you to come up with this capability for us to run our business,' he doesn't want to hear it'll take six months and $6 million; he wants to hear 'We'll have that tomorrow,'" Ruth said. "And that's also a motivator to move to cloud storage, because once you have everything worked out, that's doable."
Peterson and Brotner are among the slowly growing number of enterprise IT leaders looking to cloud-based storage as a possible "safe house" for data. In their recent "Top 10 Storage Predictions for Infrastructure & Operations Professionals" report, analysts at Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research Inc. pegged 2012 as the year cloud storage would become a "viable enterprise option," thanks to improved enterprise-class services, stronger service-level agreements and a better understanding of which workloads it makes sense to move to a public cloud.
The interest in cloud storage solutions among enterprise companies is definitely there, said Gene Ruth, an analyst specializing in cloud storage at Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. Trepidation about moving data off-premises persists, but in the era of "big data," enterprises are dealing with tremendous data growth and want to know how cloud-based storage can help them run their IT infrastructures, he said. Vendors large and small are responding to enterprise concerns.
"I feel as if a wave is building where the larger IT organizations are getting more comfortable with the idea that the infrastructure industry is developing products that help connect internal to external capacity," Ruth said. "Over the next few years -- and some patience is required here -- we're going to see public cloud storage just become part and parcel with building out an IT infrastructure."
Embracing cloud-based storage means trusting cloud security
It's difficult not to be seduced by cloud pricing models, but cold feet still tend to develop when it comes to security, Ruth said. That was true for Peterson and Brotner until their own research assured them their information would be stored in more than one location and would be encrypted in transit and in storage.
"That helped, because you always worry about your data not physically being 'here,'" Peterson said. "It's probably safer in the cloud than it is here because we don't encrypt on disk here, but they do in the cloud … so it just seems to me it's safer. I wouldn't have said that before, but now, seeing this [solution], I can say that."
So, what are Peterson and Brotner now comfortable entrusting to the cloud? Brotner said that information includes individuals' files from home directories, spreadsheets, Word documents, Access databases, images used between departments or within departments, SQL database backups, virtual machine backups and email archives. IT also is looking to add direct-to-cache storage, which would allow users to access archived data on their own, an action which currently is carried out by IT on request.
Cloud gateways lead to brighter future for cloud-based storage
In an August 2012 report, Forrester Research analyst Andrew Reichman asserts that issues holding back cloud-based storage solutions from broader adoption in the enterprise could be addressed with cloud gateways.
Reichman identifies latency, uncertainty about accessing data across the WAN, difficulty coding to cloud providers' application programming interfaces (APIs) and the risk of data leaks as enterprise organizations' chief cloud storage concerns. In response, the market is seeing a growing number of cloud gateway vendors. Most gateways provide data caching for frequently accessed data; WAN optimization; API integration; protocol translation; and data encryption, protection, synchronization and deduplication.

Tips for avoiding vendor lock-in
Who is using cloud for disaster recovery?
Know how well you're covered in an outage
The inclusion of cloud gateways in cloud storage solutions is "absolutely crucial," Gartner's Ruth said. No IT shop wants to buy a solution, then have to figure out what happens next; they want a turnkey solution.
This proved to be the case at Merced College. Using an on-site tape backup solution for 65 virtual servers, 30 physical servers and 24 terabytes of storage-area-network storage was cumbersome to maintain, Peterson said, and it didn't have the capacity to offer an adequate backup history. A one-month-old file, for example, likely wouldn't be available if a user wanted it; and it could take days to find a file if the tapes were stored off-site.
It just seems to me [that cloud storage] is safer; I wouldn't have said that before, but now I can say that.
Don Peterson, director of IT, Merced College
With the gateway cloud storage solution, information retrieval now takes seconds instead of days, Brotner said. "There's a single agent that loads on to whatever PC or server you want to back up data from. All you need is a good Internet connection," he said. Once the agent is installed on the server locally, all restorations, setups, backups and so on are managed from a single Web page. "We didn't have enough capacity to be able to cycle through and save a month's worth of data," he added. "Now we're able to keep basically as much data we want. It's as simple as flipping the switch on the Web page."
Storage stalwarts like IBM, EMC Corp., Hitachi Data Systems Corp., NetApp Inc. and Dell Inc. offer little in the way of gateways. To offer them, these larger vendors first will have to find a new way to generate revenue when they stop selling storage hardware and start selling services. Most likely this will happen through acquisition of emerging vendors. But as it stands, those emerging vendors -- like StorSimple Inc., Panzura Inc. and Zetta -- dominate the cloud gateway domain. In general, Ruth said, big IT shops are wary of startups, but forward-thinking companies realize it could be worth weighing the risks and taking a chance on innovation.
"The moment someone like NetApp puts gateway capabilities inside their existing storage arrays -- that's going to be game on. That will lend the credibility that's necessary for big IT shops to really start using public cloud storage, because then it just becomes another provisioning point," Ruth said.
Bottom line? "There is still trepidation," Ruth said," but cloud storage is developing credibility day by day."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Daisy from Excellent Value & Great Size! I just received these small deep dish pans. I have other GoldTouch baking pans and they are remarkable! Wouldn't use any other brand. If I was just starting out, every baking pan I own would be GoldTouch. What a terrific size idea! Kudos to the design team at WS GoldTouch. Great for an individual: pizza, chicken pot pies, quiche, cakes & pies, or anything else that has a crust. Let your imagination run wild.Date published: 2019-02-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Mommom1 from Great pans! Love these pans! We had a make your own pizza party not only was this fun but the pizzas turned out great and they clean so easily I have replaced all my pans with the goldtouch products.Date published: 2014-05-14Rated 1 out of 5 by JennNCA from Not Goldtouch Quality..... When I ordered these pans I didn't realize they were made in China. I have most of the pieces in the Goldtouch line (which I LOVE) and these are not the same quality of the pans made in the USA. I will be returning tomorrow. Pass on this item.Date published: 2014-04-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Lagniappe from Not just for pizza! I bought these pans after seeing them in the store and they are everything I had hoped. They bake evenly, and clean up is almost effortless. Sticky scalloped potatoes cleaned up with barely a swish of soapy water. These pans are ideal for baking small casseroles or a quiche for two. I had not bought this line before due to the price, but after using this set I've now replaced all my bakeware with this goldtouch line. You will not be disappointed in the quality, just think a bit outside the pizza box.Date published: 2014-02-03

Black gay activists take out a full page advertisement in response to Donnie McClurkin's hateful "ex-gay" and 'anti-gay" rants. The advert runs in today's Metro NY. Click for larger version.
Pastor Joseph Tolton of Rehoboth Temple wrote the official response on behalf of New York's black gay men and counters the "hypocrisy in the pulpit" and "spiritual" violence of McClurkin and homophobic black churches. It reads in part: "For those of us in faith who have always loved the black church, the defining issue of our lives has been the churches damning stance on homosexuality. As children, the condemnation broke our spirit. As adolescents, this ridicule broke our hearts. As young adults, this disdain has attempted to drive us to the brink. Spiritual violence is wrong and it kills the spirit. The black church must find new ways to talk about sex and sexuality."
At the recent Church of God in Christ's Holy Convocation Youth Service, the allegedly "ex-gay" delivered an incendiary rant against gays and gay youth in particular. Said McClurkin: "I see feminine men, feminine boys, everywhere I go. These young girls are just as bad as the boys in homosexuality, you don't see it. They can hide ... but there are some evil young hard butch girls."
Tolton adds this message to McClurkin: "You are not a man who loves men because of being molested as a child. That grave and despicable tragedy broke your spirit and damaged your mind; however, it did not have the capacity to change your DNA."
Pastor Tolton is seen in the center of the photo. From left to right: Actor Cornelius Jones; Activist Sheldon DeSouza; Michael Whittaker; Tolton; HIV activists Gaynel Sheffield and Pat Desrolers; and openly gay R&B singer Nhojj. Bravo to Pastor Tolton and these activists. Donnie McClurkin's experience was the exception and not the rule. This is much more accurate picture of our black LGBT community—diverse and confident.
Thanks ANDRES DUQUE!

'Boardwalk Empire' Season 4 Trailer: Trouble On the Doorstep
HBO Sundays will get a bit more prestigious tonight with the debut of 'The Newsroom' season 2, but you needn't wait until the evening hours for one of the hottest previews of the fall! 'Boardwalk Empire' season 4 will pour out this September, and from the looks of the full trailer debuting on TV tonight, Nucky Thompson is in for his most dangerous year on the boardwalk yet.
Notably absent are a number of the familiar 'Boardwalk Empire' players, with no appearances from Margaret Thompson (Kelly MacDonald) and cursory glances at Nelson Van Alden ('Man of Steel' star Michael Shannon), but we see plenty of the new players, from Ron Livingston to an imposing Jeffrey Wright. Far and away the coolest moment of the trailer proves to be the inquiry into Richard Harrow's gangland shootout from last season, in which 15 men were killed!
The new season for Steve Buscemi's prohibition gangster Nucky Thompson includes Patricia Arquette as a Tampa speakeasy owner, 'The Killing' star Eric Ladin as a young J. Edgar Hoover, 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' star Jeffrey Wright as educated Harlem leader Dr. Narcisse, 'True Blood' star Brian Geraghty, Ron Livingston in a new regular role, and HBO vet Domenick Lombardozzi as Chicago mobster Ralph Capone, elder brother to Al Capone (Stephen Graham).
Well, what are you waiting for? Check out the full 'Boardwalk Empire' season 4 trailer above, and tell us in the comments what you're most looking forward to seeing!

I have access to some clear PVC pipe, but the problem is, it has minor scratches and such from storage. If this were any other type of pipe, I would simply sand it down, add lacquer to it, and then give it a paintjob. But doing that with clear PVC would kind of be a waste, right?
Anyone have any suggestions? I thought about sanding it down with 220 grit, and then following that up with finer and finer sandpaper, but I am not sure if that will leave it with the true look of clarity that clean clear PVC pipe is known for.

Full name Stuart Lancaster
Born October 9, 1969, Penrith
Current age 50 years 100 days
Major teams England Saxons, Yorkshire Carnegie
Other Coach
In the immediate aftermath of England's appalling 2011 World Cup a number of names were bandied around as possible successors as coach to Martin Johnson. It would not be unfair to say Stuart Lancaster did not feature. But after landing the job on a temporary basis as the RFU scrambled around to find the right candidate, Lancaster turned England from laughing stock to respectability in the course of the five Six Nations games in 2012 and his resulting appointment was, according to the media at least, a certainty.
A flanker and captain in his playing days at Leeds from 1992 to 2000, he served as academy manager from its inauguration in 2001 until 2005 before a brief spell as director of rugby during which he steered them back into the top flight. He joined the RFU in 2007 before taking charge of the Saxons the following year.
He steered the Saxons to Churchill Cup glory in 2008, 2010 and 2011 and oversaw an impressive period for England Under-20s as they appeared in three out of the four Junior World Championship finals between 2008 and 11 and secured a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2011.
His experience and familiarity with the elite rugby department saw him appointed as interim head coach for the 2012 Six Nations but few saw that as anything but a stop-gap move. Such had his stock risen five matches - and four wins - later that he easily beat off competition from former South Africa and Italy coach Nick Mallett.

Senior officials from the five leading sports have been called into a summit meeting with the Government on Tuesday on how to tackle the scourge of match-fixing, it can be revealed.
The talks have been called by Maria Miller, secretary of state for culture, media and sport, after it was confirmed six people have been arrested during an investigation into spot-fixing in football, including Blackburn striker DJ Campbell.
Executives from the governing bodies of football, tennis, cricket, rugby union and rugby league will meet Miller in London. Also present will be representatives from the Premier League, the Football League, the Gambling Commission and the British Horse-Racing Authority.
A Government source told Press Association Sport the meeting aimed to share best practices between the sports, and for ministers to receive feedback on any changes the sports believe would help tackle match-fixing.
The source said: "We want to make sure no stone is left unturned in the fight against match-fixing in sport."
Some officials believe changing the law to make match-fixing itself a criminal offence, rather than police having to use fraud or other related charges, would provide a greater deterrent.
Ministers are understood to be open to any suggestions and will be pushing for sports to share any intelligence they have on fixing with the Gambling Commission.
Campbell, 32, was one of six people detained in an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after it acted on information passed to it by the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
Six people, including Campbell, have been bailed until April, the NCA said.
Detectives are likely to review a yellow card Campbell received for a tackle committed in the first half of Blackburn's league game against Ipswich last Tuesday.
According to the Sun on Sunday, an undercover investigator met former Portsmouth player Sam Sodje, who allegedly said he could arrange for footballers in the Championship to get themselves a yellow card in return for tens of thousands of pounds.
The 34-year-old claimed he could rig Premier League games and even said he was preparing to fix matches at next year's World Cup in Brazil, the newspaper reported.
Portsmouth will hold a meeting with their players on Tuesday in the wake of the allegations but Pompey chairman Iain McIness said the betting industry's responsibilities should also be examined.
He said: "I think the gaming industry should be held to account. Somebody can sit on their laptop and check out of a bet, you don't even have to win the bet now. There is just too much of it."
It also alleged that Oldham player Cristian Montano failed to get a yellow card in return for money in a match against Wolves on October 22 and offered to take part in another rigging incident.
Another of the suspects was reported to be Sodje's brother Akpo, 33, who plays for Tranmere, who said they were aware of the allegations but would make no further comment.
The NCA is already carrying out a separate investigation into an alleged international illegal betting syndicate and have charged four people, including two Conference South players, with fixing-related offences.

Q: How do you get rid of leeches?
– Richard of Waterbury Center, VT
A: The "muck" at the bottom of your pond is a great breeding ground for leeches. So the absolute best way to get rid of them would be to get rid of the "muck". MuckAway™ Pond Muck Reducer is the best way to do this. MuckAway™ will eat up to 5″ of "muck" per year!
Another thing you can do in the short term is trap them. To do so, do the following:
1.) Start with a coffee can with a plastic lid.
2.) Poke holes in the sides of the can with a nail. Holes should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch in size. The nail holes should leave a sharp burr on the inside of the can (approximately 50 holes).
3.) Put about 1/4 cup of raw meat in the can (ground beef, liver, chicken or turkey giblets are recommended).
4.) Put the lid on the can and submerge it completely in your pond. A rock placed on top of the can will prevent it from falling over and will help prevent snapping turtles from tampering with it.
5.) Check the trap a couple of times a week and remove the leeches. Keep the trap in the pond until the leech numbers decrease, or you no longer catch any leeches in the trap.

Comic Marc Maron launches on IFC
[media-credit name="IFC" align="alignright" width="495″][/media-credit]
The first episode of comic Marc Maron's new show, "Maron," on IFC is styled as an introduction for those who don't know the standup comedian and podcast favorite. "I've been on "Conan" like 47 times and you don't know who I am, right?" he asks, in character, in the show. A comic's comic, he takes a bit of getting used to; he won't likely break out as a mainstream act. Which is why IFC is probably a good fit, beginning Friday at 8 p.m..
The downbeat, wry-to-the-point-of-sour tone he employs in the podcast, "WTF with Marc Maron," is usually in the service of mourning his marital breakup, his lack of popularity, his sick cat or his dysfunctional relationship with his parents. Maybe you heard him expressing these anxieties on Terry Gross' "Fresh Air" this week, promoting his new book, "Attempting Normal."
The neurotic Jewish shtick is edgier than Woody Allen's version and not as sweet.
"Look, Marc, you're just not for everybody. You've just got to accept that," Dave Foley says in the first episode (playing himself.) Viewers be warned.
Denis Leary, another comic turned actor, has a guest role and serves as co-executive producer on the series. The bitterness Leary expresses onstage as a standup looks positively endearing compared to Maron's. If Larry David took self-involvement and narcissism to new heights, Maron is bent on taking them to new lows. It will take a few episodes to determine whether there's enough heart beneath the rage to enable Maron to touch something deeper, in the way that Louis C.K. has done so successfully.
"Hey, don't interrupt me when I'm feelin' sorry for myself," Maron says.
We'll see.

Kim Tae-hee to play a leading role in Japanese drama
Kim Tae-hee to play a leading role in Japanese drama
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Kim Tae-hee is to play a leading role in a Japanese drama series called "Boku to Star no 99 Nichi" (99 Days of Me and My Star) and this once more shows the influence of South Korean entertainment in Japan. A host of South Korean dramas have been shown in Japan in recent times and now more and more music groups from this nation are hitting the headlines in Japan.
Kim Tae-hee is elegant, stylish, highly intelligent and extremely beautiful. The new drama, Boku to Star no 99 Nichi, is reported to share similar themes with Notting Hill which was a hit film from the United Kingdom. Obviously, cultural differences, plot lines, and other realities, mean that Boku to Star no 99 Nichi will be very different from Notting Hill but the angle is within the feel.
My Princess and Iris opened up Japan to Kim Tae-hee because both South Korean dramas built up a strong fan base for this talented lady. Therefore, while this will be her first time in a Japanese drama it is crystal clear that her fans will be waiting for her debut drama in Japan.
Kim Tae-hee will play a role whereby she falls in love with a down to earth Japanese man. The plot therefore is clearly similar to Notting Hill and Han Yu-na (Kim Tae-hee) who is the famous Korean actress in the drama will highlight the passions of two individuals who hail from different walks of life.
Nishijima Hidetoshi is the Japanese actor that she will be passionate about in the drama. Therefore, everything seems set up for this drama to make impact and it is a great start for Kim Tae-hee to ease her way into Japanese dramas and perhaps further afield in the future.
Tensions still persist because of history and recent demonstrations against Fuji TV in Tokyo and the usual territorial dispute is a reminder that nothing is plain sailing. However, for most viewers in Japan who watch this drama it will be nothing more than a romantic drama and the fans of Kim Tae-hee will get another chance to see their favorite actress.
The plot line is not the most sophisticated but neither was Notting Hill but if the drama can build up passion, sense of humor, uncertainty and other angles, then her fans will be happy and hopefully Kim Tae-hee will grow in even more popularity in Japan.
The drama will hit television and be aired in October this year on Fuji TV.

Standard Style
Chinese Calligraphy Standard Style simplified Chinese: 楷书; traditional Chinese: 楷書; pinyin: kǎishū (also known as traditional regular script) is the newest of the Chinese script styles hence most common in modern writings and publications. It is attributed to the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi (王羲之, 303-361) and his followers. Its spread was encouraged by Emperor Mingzong of Later Tang (926-933), who ordered the printing of the classics using new wooden blocks in Kaishu. Printing technologies here allowed shapes to stabilize. The Kaishu shape of characters 1000 years ago was mostly similar to that at the end of Imperial China. But small changes have been made, for example in the shape of广 which is not absolutely the same in the Kangxi Dictionary of 1716 as in modern books. The Kangxi and current shapes have tiny differences, while stroke order is still the same, according to old style.

Workplace drug policies may restrict medical cannabis use in Illinois
March 9, 2014 (ROCKFORD, Ill.) -- Illinoisans hoping to make use of the state's fledgling medical marijuana law may risk their jobs if their employers opt to maintain or adopt zero-tolerance drug policies.
The Rockford Register Star reports that the law that took effect in January protects patients from arrest or prosecution for using marijuana. But they may not have recourses if their employers fire them for violating on-the-job prohibitions on use of the drug.
It's not immediately clear how many patients' jobs would be affected. But experts say it may be time for employers to revisit or tweak their drug policies to reflect the new law.
As a Chicago lawyer specializing in labor issues, Nesheba Kittling says employees should research their work drug policies.

Rockford Register Star
March 08. 2014
Some chronically ill patients hoping to legally access medical marijuana in Illinois may be out of luck if their employers choose to maintain or create zero-tolerance drug policies.
The state's new medical marijuana law, which was signed in August and took effect in January, protects patients from arrest or prosecution for using the drug, but it doesn't protect them from being terminated if they test positive for the drug and their employers restrict its use.
Experts say it's a good time for employers to revisit their drug policies and adjust them to address the state's legalization of medical marijuana. It's unclear how many patients may lose out on using the drug or risk losing their jobs if they do.
"If an employer already has a drug policy, there's nothing in the act that prevents them from enforcing that drug policy," said Nesheba Kittling, an attorney with Chicago-based Fisher & Phillips LLP who specializes in labor law. "If you have a zero-tolerance policy, the act allows you to enforce that regardless if someone is using marijuana.
"We'll get people who have a smaller workforce who envision someone having cancer and using medical marijuana to help with the cancer. They wonder, 'Do I really have to terminate them?' At the end of the day, it's up to you."
'Not sure what it means'
Kittling said case law in states such as California, Oregon and Washington — places with less restrictive medical marijuana laws than Illinois — have sided with employers when employees sue because of discipline involving medical marijuana.
Illinois' law does protect employees from disciplinary action just for having or saying they have a medical marijuana card. Rules regarding how patients can access the drug and regulations of the 22 cultivation centers and 60 dispensaries that will be allowed to grow and sell it are still in the proposal stage, meaning patients likely won't have access to the drug until later this year or early next year.
Kittling said employer drug policies run the gamut of what they allow and don't allow. Companies with government contracts are more likely to have zero-tolerance policies because such policies are mandated by the federal government.
She said employees should research their respective work drug policies, which often include discipline up to and including termination if the violation involves drug use.
Still, confusion in the employer and human resources communities abounds. Kittling works with the Illinois Chamber of Commerce to do webinars and in-person education for businesses about hot-button issues such as medical marijuana and concealed carry, and the sessions have been in high demand.
She has another session scheduled for March 18.
"People have heard about it, but they're not sure what it means," Kittling said of the new law. "I tell them you still have the right to take action or to not allow it, and they're more relieved."
Law needs experience
Illinois' law lists about 40 conditions — including cancer, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and muscular dystrophy — that would qualify patients to get recommendations from their doctors to use medical marijuana.
Marijuana can stay in a person's system for up to a month, which is why advocates say that employers should adjust drug policies' medical usage of the drug, said Chris Lindsey, a legislative analyst with the Marijuana Policy Project, a marijuana policy-reform organization based in Washington, D.C.
"When state laws don't recalibrate to accommodate patients consuming, we have a real serious problem," Lindsey said. "Patients have options, but then they don't have options.
"Not everybody has zero-tolerance policies. ... Employers need to decide what's more important: do we want quality employees or is what you did three weeks ago enough to terminate you?"
Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, sponsored the medical cannabis bill and said questions about whether employer restrictions will limit the number of patients who can use medical marijuana are fair. But he thinks the law's language is very clear.
"Whatever rules employers have at their workplace can stay in place," Lang said. "We were very specific that if you have a drug-free workplace, it can remain drug-free."
Lang said adding language that would have regulated employer responsibilities with regard to medical marijuana would have stalled the bill's passage. He also said the state's language is similar to wording in other states' medical marijuana laws.
"There may be adjustments that should be made along the way, but we won't know until we get some experience with this, until the program is up and running and people who need the product are taking it," Lang said.
Lang, who's been a legislator for 26 years, said he has followed this new law's rule-making process much more closely than other bills he has helped pass. He's communicating with the three state agencies — the Department of Public Health, Department of Agriculture and Department of Financial & Professional Regulation — as proposed regulations take shape.
"I sent each of them personally typed emails with comments," Lang said. "I must say, given the fact that (the agencies) have never had to deal with this before, I was very pleased with the first rollout of the draft rules. They did a wonderful job. Changes for sure need to be made, and they'll make them."
Wait-and-see approach
Several local employers plan to review or are reviewing their drug policies but haven't made changes yet.
City and village officials are waiting to learn more about the state's regulations of medical marijuana before rewriting their own personnel policies, which prohibit use of the drug.
The Rockford School District employs about 3,800 people doing jobs as varied as teaching and social work to driving school buses. Employees must pass an initial drug-screening test. After that, the district has what is called a drug- and alcohol-free workplace. That's not exactly the same as a zero-tolerance drug policy, explained Angel Contreras, the district's chief human resources officer.
Under the district's current policy, all employees are prohibited from using, distributing, possessing and being under the influence of any controlled substance or alcohol while on district property or working.
Employees who violate the policy could be subject to disciplinary action up to termination.
"The (Rockford School Board) has the option to require an employee to successfully complete an appropriate drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation program," Contreras wrote in an email.
Any changes to the district's drug policy would come from a collective administrative recommendation to the board, likely with human resources and legal counsel taking the lead, Contreras said.
"You show up for work and you're under the influence of whatever, you can still be held accountable by an employer to be terminated based on our policies," he said. "Even in Colorado, it's approved for recreational (use), the employer still can say, 'Not when you're working for us.'"
Rockford Health System and Crusader Community Health both said the medical marijuana issue is on their radars. A spokesman for Chrysler Group LLC said the company is monitoring its policies and processes "to ensure legal compliance in all states and municipalities where it does business."
No policy decisions have been made yet at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, but officials are researching the medical marijuana law, spokeswoman Therese Michels said in an email. Michels also emphasized that employees can't be impaired while at work, and if they appear to be impaired, they are evaluated for their "fitness for duty" by either occupational health or emergency department staff.
"If found unfit for duty, then our positive discipline process is started," Michels said. "An example is that alcohol, like medical marijuana, is legal, but we do not allow employees to work while under the influence of alcohol, nor will we regarding medical marijuana."
Jerry Guinane, vice president of human resources for SwedishAmerican Health System, said the health system has a drug-free workplace, and employees have to pass a drug screening as part of the pre-employment process. If an employee is found to be impaired at work or involved in an accident, drug testing is also implemented.
He doesn't see a need at this point to change policies.
"If you're a patient in our facility or in any hospital, you want people who are treating you not to be impaired," Guinane said.
Winnebago County Human Resources Director Kim Ponder said medical marijuana will be addressed the county's personnel policy on prescription medications. The specifics surrounding that particular policy have not been released the public yet because it's still in the draft stage.
The current policy addresses the consequences for illegal substances but does not touch on abusing prescribed medicines.
"That would be an evolution in the policy of how we address drugs and alcohol," Ponder said.
The Winnebago County Sheriff's Department hasn't had any formal discussions about medical marijuana. Officers are prohibited from working if they use any substance — legal or illegal — that affects their ability to do their jobs, Chief Deputy Kurt Ditzler said.
Officers who show up for work and are not fit for duty will be sent home, with or without discipline depending on the specifics surrounding the incident, Ditzler said.
If someone has a medical condition that prohibits him or her from working, the person must get a physician's OK to return to work. The department often will provide doctors a job description so they understand patients' job responsibilities.
"Under the Family Medical Leave Act, we provide the (doctor or other medical professional) with a job description so they clearly know if a person had a back injury and they can't do any lifting, they can't work as a police officer," Ditzler said.
Reporters Corina Curry, Alex Gary, Kevin Haas and Jennifer Wheeler contributed to this story.
What the law saysNothing in this act shall prohibit an employer from adopting reasonable regulations concerning the consumption, storage, or timekeeping requirements for qualifying patients related to the use of medical cannabis.Nothing in this act shall prohibit an employer from enforcing a policy concerning drug testing, zero-tolerance, or a drug-free workplace provided the policy is applied in a nondiscriminatory manner.Nothing in this act shall limit an employer from disciplining a registered qualifying patient for violating a workplace drug policy.Nothing in this act shall limit an employer's ability to discipline an employee for failing a drug test if failing to do so would put the employer in violation of federal law or cause it to lose a federal contract or funding.Nothing in this act shall be construed to create a defense for a third party who fails a drug test.An employer may consider a registered qualifying patient to be impaired when he or she manifests specific, articulable symptoms while working that decrease or lessen his or her performance of the duties or tasks of the employee's job position, including symptoms of the employee's speech, physical dexterity, agility, coordination, demeanor, irrational or unusual behavior, negligence or carelessness in operating equipment or machinery, disregard for the safety of the employee or others, or involvement in an accident that results in serious damage to equipment or property, disruption of a production or manufacturing process, or carelessness that results in any injury to the employee or others. If an employer elects to discipline a qualifying patient under this subsection, it must afford the employee a reasonable opportunity to contest the basis of the determination.Nothing in this act shall be construed to create or imply a cause of action for any person against an employer for: actions based on the employer's good faith belief that a registered qualifying patient used or possessed cannabis while on the employer's premises or during the hours of employment; actions based on the employer's good faith belief that a registered qualifying patient was impaired while working on the employer's premises during the hours of employment; injury or loss to a third party if the employer neither knew nor had reason to know that the employee was impaired.Nothing in this act shall be construed to interfere with any federal restrictions on employment including but not limited to the United States Department of Transportation regulation 49 CFR 40.151(e).Source: Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, Illinois General Assembly

Year after year since it was introduced, the Yamaha SuperJet is the darling of the custom shops and the aftermarket guys. It's not that this craft is inadequate; quite the contrary. But, with all due respect to the manufacturer, there doesn't seem to be many active SuperJets out there that have not been "souped-up." But Yamaha is not unaware of what's been going on. They know that their customers seem to want to make a great boat even better. And the SJ's popularity is high no matter what kind of stand-up riding the owner participates in, be it speed runs, slalom or freestyle. The Yamaha SuperJet has a new improved hull design promising to make this craft the best all-around stand-up PWC in the industry. This year, the designers at Yamaha have decided not to let the speedshop guys have all the fun!
The Reliable Yamaha Marine Engine
The powerplant in the SuperJet is a member of Yamaha's reliable marine engine family. The 2 cylinder, two-stroke, 701 CC Yamaha engine features electronically controlled variable ignition timing and loop-charged combustion for quick throttle response throughout the range. Yamaha's Corrosion Protection System and Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner contribute to this motor's durability. The SuperJet 144mm Hyper–Flow jet pump propulsion system provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration. And this pump is manufactured with YDC30, a combination of zinc and copper alloys which offers excellent corrosion protection. In addition, the intake duct and grate have been optimized to direct flow into the pump. To keep water out of the hull, an automatic bilge system is fitted. And every custom PWC or race shop will be happy to show you the endless list of accessories available for you to customize the performance of your SuperJet.
The Hull
The hull is where the real changes were made in the SuperJet. The changes make this boat more balanced for hard cornering and wide-open speed. They've increased the wetted surface of the hull by adding molded-in sponsons which are integrated into the hull lines. These allow the craft to turn easier while making the SJ more stable for novice and intermediate riders. They've deepened the chines and narrowed the stern a little, so the SuperJet rider can lean over further while still maintaining hook-up. In addition, an extended rideplate works along with the rest of the changes and improvements to provide enhanced stability. Taken together, all these modifications result in the aggressive rider being able to maintain speed and lean over while holding a turn more effectively than in the past. For the novice, the design changes offer the advantage of more stability in the ride.
On Deck
Up on top you'll find plenty of thick padding in the riding tray for a more comfortable ride, and there's a kick step to provide added balance and slip resistance. The oval-shaped handle pole is both light and strong and has a high pivot. It makes turning and transitions easier by giving the rider more leverage. The handle pole is fitted with a corrosion resistant coil spring, so the pole feels even lighter, reducing fatigue. And steering is made even better by the adjustable steering nozzle.
Thoughtful of their surroundings, the folks at Yamaha have made an effort to reduce noise emissions by utilizing a transom exhaust system. Its part of Yamaha's Sound Supression System, targeted to reduce intake noise, exhaust noise and vibration noise. To insure safety, the SuperJet, like Yamaha's entire WaveRunner line-up, uses the trademarked Visibility Spout waterspout from the rear of the craft.
The Specs
The Yamaha SuperJet is 88.2" long, 26.8" wide, 26" high, and weighs 291 pounds dry. It has a fuel capacity of 4.8 gallons with a reserve of just under a gallon and a half. The SJ has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $8,199. The color and graphics package for the latest model year is Black.

Let's start with the kudos. The Rockies opened the season by winning five of six games. That's awesome. It put the sweet smell of hope back in spring. And spring is all about baseball, right?
Now let's get to the issue: A year ago, former manager Jim Tracy was roasted for trotting out the junior varsity team for Sunday games. He regularly benched a bunch of regulars on Sunday. And the Rockies' record in 2012 on Sunday? 5-22. Walt Weiss embraced the idea of "Sit-down Sundays" with his lineup card against the San Diego Padres. Maybe the idea is more organizational philosophy than managerial whimsy.
Question is: Does sitting your regulars for a weekend game rip off paying customers? Listen to Peter Burns and I debate the topic here:
What's your take? Is it all about scoreboard? Or should entertainment ever be part of the thought process when filling out the lineup card?

The single version was later issued on CD on the second disc of the Past Masters compilation. The single reached number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, West Germany, and Mexico. It was the Beatles' only single that credited another artist at their request. "Get Back" was the Beatles' first single release in true stereo in the US.

Handed over my receipt, got a few strange looks as I'm no longer a Telecom customer when asked about my details, and after this experience, I have no interest in becoming one. Signed the form stating that I'm aware if the phone is impact or liquid damaged that I'd be charged a service fee. The phone quite clearly wasn't impact damaged at all and definitely not liquid damaged. The only issue was with the internal earpiece being very quiet, everything else (including dock/headphone jack) works fine.
Was advised by an ex-Telecom employee/Geekzoner friend that I can actually check the repair status on the Telegistics website myself, so I punched in my IMEI number and found they had diagnosed it in the morning of the 2nd of August. They denied warranty coverage stating that the liquid sensor indicator had gone off in the headphone socket, lint in the dock connector and were going to quote to fix out of warranty. The Telecom store were understandably not much help in getting any information, I called on the 3rd and asked for an update and they said they were still waiting on a quote from Telegistics, I told them not to go ahead with it and to return my phone immediately. I also called Telegistics and was rudely told by whoever answered the phone that they'd found liquid damage and thus was not covered under warranty. I asked for proof of the damage, to which he said that I could also check the photos on their website. While on the phone I found the page (not helpfully labelled at all) but it didn't list the so called photos. He claimed they take up to 24 hours to upload to the server and that they'd be up by the 4th. I asked for him to email them to me and he said he would. The phone was shipped back on the 6th to the Telecom store. I called Telegistics back on the 7th to enquire about the photos and again requested for them to be emailed to me. As of the 7th, I still haven't received these photos.
I happened to be in the area on the 8th and called in to the store to see if the phone had arrived. It had, and still nobody bothered calling me about it. So, 9 days for them to look at and take a couple of photos of a phone and return it to the store. By the time I had returned home and checked the site again, the photos were up showing a half-pink dot in the headphone jack which they straight up denied under warranty. When prompted, they couldn't prove that liquid damage caused the earpiece to fail at all.
I called up AppleCare and got transferred through to the customer relations team who looked into my case and asked me to send through photos of the so called "liquid damage". 24 hours later they had sent me out an advance replacement device with a box to return mine in. Above excellent customer service on Apple's part, I can't say the same thing about Telecom/Telegistics.
I used to work at an Apple Authorised Service Provider, the procedure for iPhones is if the customer disputes liquid damage, they are to ask Apple for permission to open the device and check the internal liquid indictors or the logic board for signs of corrosion. If the internal ones had gone off or there is any signs of corrosion to deny the claim, which I'd be okay with except for the fact they hadn't. I asked my Apple case manager to look and see if the repairer had asked for permission to open the phone, he said that they had not received any request for this to happen.
I'm not sure what took Telegistics so long to take a couple of photos of a phone, coupled with their terrible customer experience - avoid at all costs.

Could your company benefit from a new business model? Consider these six questions.
Companies often make substantial efforts to innovate their processes and products to achieve revenue growth and to maintain or improve profit margins. Innovations to improve processes and products, however, are often expensive and time-consuming, requiring a considerable upfront investment in everything from research and development to specialized resources, new plants and equipment, and even entire new business units. Yet future returns on these investments are always uncertain. Hesitant to make such big bets, more companies now are turning toward business model innovation as an alternative or complement to product or process innovation.
A recent global survey of more than 4,000 senior managers by the Economist Intelligence Unit found that the majority (54%) favored new business models over new products and services as a source of future competitive advantage. EIU analysts concluded that "the overall message is clear: how companies do business will often be as, or more, important than what they do."1 And in a similar global study conducted by IBM, in which over 750 corporate and public sector leaders were interviewed on the subject of innovation, researchers found that "competitive pressures have pushed business model innovation much higher than expected on CEOs' priority lists."2 However, this level of interest may not have been too surprising given that the IBM study also found that companies whose operating margins had grown faster than their competitors' over the previous five years were twice as likely to emphasize business model innovation, as opposed to product or process innovation.3 One CEO explained why his company's focus on business model innovation had grown:
In the operations area, much of the innovations and cost savings that could be achieved have already been achieved. Our greatest focus is on business model innovation, which is where the greatest benefits lie. It's not enough to make a difference on product quality or delivery readiness or production scale. It's important to innovate in areas where our competition does not act.

It has been 10 years since then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's U.N. speech on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. I watched the secretary's presentation intently on assignment to Fort Jackson, S.C. that day. The presentation, of course, would make the final case for war with Iraq before the world, Congress and, arguably most importantly, the American people.
Like many of my colleagues on active duty, I had been highly skeptical of this pretext for war while serving as a military planner, particularly over what many regarded as plausible exaggerations and outright distortions. The latter, by all indications — and certainly among planners on the inside of the process — took on increasing intensity in the months following 9/11. Iraq, of course, was initially implicated in the attack itself — with at least one senior administration official, Paul Wolfowitz, arguing for a regime takedown in the days immediately following the attacks, according to accounts. There soon followed stories (never confirmed) of 9/11 hijackers who met with Iraqi intelligence agents in Czechoslovakia, and later of the Iraqi agent code-named "Curveball," who first proclaimed the existence of the mobile weapons labs cited by Secretary Powell. Many Americans would wrongly come to believe Iraq was behind 9/11, and this was no accident.
Mr. Wolfowitz, known as an intellectual architect of the war as deputy secretary of defense, and others brought into government by Vice President Dick Cheney were said to have been intent on doing something about Iraq from the outset of the Bush administration, after a decade of sanctions and no-fly enforcement that were of limited effectiveness. That this intention would soon take the form of building a case for a ground war in Iraq on the heels of 9/11, and would find a receptive audience in the White House, astounded many of us, especially with military planning at the time indicating possibly five years or more of a costly, bloody ground war, probably involving several hundred thousand troops. Mr. Wolfowitz later indicated that the possibility of weapons of mass destruction was "the only thing we could all agree on" as the case for war was made. That possibility, eventually advertised as a virtual certainty, became the casus belli.
In April 2003, I was in attendance at the Army War College Annual Strategy Conference in Carlisle, Pa. On April 9, the day Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad was taken down, the keynote speaker for the conference was Richard Perle, another so-called intellectual architect of the war, as a previous assistant defense secretary and later as chairman of the Defense Policy Board (and frequent talk show guest). When, at the conclusion of his remarks (which centered on the elimination of the strategic threat posed by Hussein's WMDs), I asked him, "What's next?" he replied, "Iran or Syria — take your pick." I countered that there was a very high likelihood that the cost and duration of the Iraq war would never enable that, and that many unforeseen difficulties would soon arise. This was greeted hostilely by speaker and audience alike. The rest is history, however, and bears no repeating here.
Whatever the actual, versus the articulated, motivation for the war with Iraq, the likelihood that a misbegotten military adventure like this one — costing America over 4,000 dead, over 30,000 wounded and well in excess of a trillion dollars — will be repeated anytime soon is, thankfully, very low if not altogether non-existent. Americans have once again had to learn, the hard way, to be skeptical of the policy process, particularly where the cost to America, and ordinary Americans, can be extraordinarily high. That's the side of history where I want to stand.
Ralph Masi, a collegiate professor at University of Maryland University College, studied the Iraq war following a career on active duty. His email is email@example.com.

The circular motion created by this photo seems to draw one in to the center.
I was lucky enough to capture this sunset recently. The skies are so fascinating later in the evening.
As the leaves turn and color the forest, they create a light all their own.
This was taken as the sun was rising over the lake in late summer.
The sky is almost just as interesting as the foliage.
Although I have noticed this scene of fall foliage for many years, I still find it beautiful.
And I selected this photo to submit to the contest because I like how the sun is part of the frame.
Take a look at the other contest entrees over at Gardening Gone Wild. I am also joining Christina at Creating My Own Garden of the Hesperides for Garden Bloggers Foliage Day.

Green Wars: Making Environmental Degradation a National Security Issue Puts Peace and Security at Risk
Since the end of the Cold War, a fundamental shift in national security policy has taken place in the United States. No longer restricting itself to such issues as military alliances, the strategic behavior of other great powers, and nuclear strike capabilities, security policy now tackles environmental degradation, poverty, infectious diseases, drug use, and other problems. Moreover, it increasingly posits them as threats to the national security of the United States.
This shift in thinking has taken place subtly and largely out of the realm of public debate. Although environmental issues are rapidly moving up on the public agenda, the public is not generally aware that they are treated specifically as security threats. Environmental degradation is the most popular of the new causes embraced by policymakers and government agencies, and its treatment as a security threat dates back to the immediate post‐Cold War period when a debate began about what to do with U.S. military resources that were no longer needed after the demise of the Soviet Union.
Instead of being relegated to the recycling bin of fad concepts as many observers expected, "environmental security" has become an important component of current national security policy. Various agencies – ranging from the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Department of State to newcomers on the security scene such as the Environmental Protection Agency – are involved. Eager to justify their budgets in a more peaceful, prosperous world, they have embarked on various projects, both at home and abroad, aimed at countering the perceived threat from environmental degradation.
Unfortunately, little thought has been given to the consequences of those developments. Although the practical activities carried out in the name of environmental security are still fairly limited, various dangers are already apparent. Among them is the potential for militarizing environmental issues and infringing on civil liberties. Equally worrisome, a security policy that attempts to tackle all the world's environmental problems risks pushing the United States in the direction of further conflict and greater intervention in the affairs of other nations.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a common surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen for both men and women by removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen (middle or lower) and tightening the abdominal wall muscles. Individuals considering abdominoplasty should:
- Contemplate whether having excessive fat deposits around the abdominal area or loose abdominal skin (regardless of diet and exercise) is bothersome
- Set realistic expectations before and after surgery
- Understand the complications that can occur after surgery, including infections, blood clots, pain, swelling and delayed healing
As part of Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, a trusted name in healthcare, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Program offers comprehensive surgical procedures for abdominoplasty. Surgeons use leading-edge technology and world-class surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for abdominoplasty candidates.
Surgical Procedure
Depending on the needs of each patient, abdominoplasty can take between two and four hours. During surgery, surgeons:
- Apply anesthesia (general, epidural or intravenous)
- Make a long incision from hipbone to hipbone
- Make another incision to free the navel from surrounding tissue
- Separate the skin from the abdominal wall, revealing vertical muscles
- Tighten abdominal muscles
- Stretch the skin flap and remove extra skin
- Cut a new hole for the navel and stretch it into place
Surgical Procedure for Partial Abdominoplasty
Partial abdominoplasty can take an hour or two to complete. It is mostly used for patients who have limited excess skin around their abdomen. Surgeons:
- Apply anesthesia (general, epidural or intravenous)
- Make shorter incisions (navel may not be removed) than for a full abdominoplasty
- Separate the skin between the incision line and the navel
- Stretch the skin flap down, remove excess skin and stitch it back into place
After Surgery
Following surgery, the abdomen can swell, which can result in pain and discomfort. Surgeons prescribe medication or use other methods to resolve these issues. Patients may be released from the hospital within a few hours or remain hospitalized for a few days depending on the case.
