Just a few weeks old, the East Village's Cowgirl's Baking had already earned a loyal following for their vegan cupcakes. Cowgirl's doesn't replace Babycakes or Tulu's in my books, but it's certainly a welcome addition offering flavor combinations I could never picture the other two bakeries doing. There's a Coffee & Donuts cupcake where a chocolate-coffee cake comes with chocolate-coffee frosting and a mini doughnut on top. (Yes, the doughnut is vegan as well!) Or even better, the Tres Leches with vanilla bean creme anglaise-soaked vanilla cake, and a finish of vanilla frosting and dulce de leche. However, my personal favorite is on the classic side: chocolate and peanut butter frosting. That's the mini cupcake pictured above, just $1.50 each (the regular-sized cupcakes are $3 each). It's a combination to love, especially when the peanut butter frosting is kissed with plenty of salt, an ideal balance to the dark chocolate cupcake base.

a software developer with more than 170 million downloads, has reviewed
its June 2013-June 2014 statistics and found an increase in downloads of
its burning software, Burning Studio. The year-on-year increase
reflects an uptick in consumer burning since June 2013 - when Edward
Snowden revealed that the US National Security Agency (News - Alert) (NSA) was
collecting citizen data.
The increased downloads include both free and full versions of
Ashampoo's Burning Studio, and includes consumers in North America and
"From 2010 to 2011, we saw a general decrease in downloads of our
Ashampoo Burning Studio Free Edition and our Burning
Studio 14 products", said Sebastian Schwarz, Ashampoo CEO. "This was
to be expected in line with the way users began to adopt the cloud and
virtual services to store personal data. But as we analyzed the last
year's data, we saw this begin to change from June 2013,
which corresponds with the NA making headlines around the globe. This
shows that, far from being a thing of the past, burning as a way to save
data, files and documents, is on the rise - users feel safer burning
their personal data. For consumers that don't want to use any type of
online storage or cloud offerings, it's a tangible and trusted solution."
To date, Ashampoo Burning Studio has been downloaded more than 60
million times.

Outspoken electronic music superstar Deadmau5 has taken aim at model Tricia Evans over an ill-advised "Batman" joke she posted on Twitter.com on Friday – hours after 12 film fans were shot to death in a Colorado theater.
The Playboy pin-up attempted to make light of the Aurora massacre, which took place during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" – but her remarks didn't amuse the DJ, real name Joel Zimmerman.
She tweeted, "Tragedies happen in our world every day. Jump off the bandwagon… I heard the new Batman movie is really 'to die for'! Too soon?"
Deadmau5 saw the post and quickly responded: "good to know. @HollywoodTricia i seriously had no idea how big of a piece of s- you are."
The defiant beauty then tweeted, "@deadmau5 Listen, apparently I have a different opinion than u. That doesn't make me a piece of s-," prompting the DJ to fire back, "so your opinion of the tragedy in Colorado is… 'humor'? not sure how that's convoluted into an opinion… i'd just admit what you said was wrong and move on."
Evans' Friday remark made her a target of hate tweets over the weekend, but she refused to back down, responding to one critical follower, "No one can allow or disallow me from saying anything I want."

Future of Brazil's president on the line in key vote
Senators in Brazil have started a debate on whether to oust President Dilma Rousseff, a movement that has built up steam and turned into a referendum on her leadership amid several crises facing Latin America's largest nation.
If a simple majority of the 81 senators vote in favour, Ms Rousseff will be suspended from office and Vice President Michel Temer will take over for up to six months pending a decision on whether to remove her from office permanently.
Senate President Renan Calheiros has said he wants the vote to happen on Wednesday night.
The impeachment hinges on allegations Ms Rousseff violated fiscal rules in handling the federal budget. But it has also become largely a referendum on her presidency, buffeted by a deep recession and a vast kickback scheme in state oil company Petrobras.
Ms Rousseff denies any wrongdoing and insists the impeachment amounts to a "coup" aimed at removing her left-leaning Workers' Party, in power for 13 years.
The effort to impeach her began as a longshot bid, but has gained momentum to the point that many analysts consider Ms Rousseff's ouster all but a foregone conclusion.
"Dilma will be impeached for a variety of reasons," said Marcos Troyjo, a professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. "And the possibility of her coming back is zero."
Brazilian newspapers' polling of senators has found that around 50, many more than necessary, plan to vote for a trial. But itis not clear that all of those would also vote to convict her. A tally by the newspaper Folha de S Paulo suggests that so far only 41 senators are willing to remove Ms Rousseff from office permanently - 13 short of the number needed.
The Senate action comes after the lower house voted 367-137 last month in favour of impeachment, an anti-Rousseff verdict so resounding that many Brazilians believe it will influence the Senate, where she has traditionally been seen to have more allies.
The impeachment battle has turned into something much larger than the legal charges against the president. Brazil is beset by a raft of corruption scandals connected to her party and is struggling with its worst recession since the 1930s. The president also is criticised for an inability to negotiate with other politicians in a country where personal relationships are paramount.
Ms Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla group member who became an establishment insider, rode the coattails of her once wildly popular mentor and predecessor as president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to win the presidency in 2010. Things were fine as the region's largest economy roared, and in 2014 she was re-elected with 51% of the vote.
But just as prices for commodities that are the lifeblood of Brazil's economy started tumbling, investigators began uncovering a multibillion-dollar kickback scheme at Petrobras, the state oil company.
The continuing probe has led to the conviction of dozens of the country's elite, from politicians to the former president of Odebrecht, a major construction firm.
While Ms Rousseff has not been accused of wrongdoing in that scandal, many Brazilians hold her accountable because much of the alleged corruption happened during her administrations and those of Mr Silva.
Ms Rousseff was chief of staff during Mr Silva's second term and before that she was minister of mines and energy.
As details of the corruption have emerged the last two years, the economy has continued downward. Gross domestic product is expected to contract 3.6% this year after an equally bad 2015. Both inflation and unemployment are around 10% and announcements of closures, from local factories to multinational chains such as Wal-Mart, have become commonplace.
"The problem in Brazil was the inflation," Carlos Antonio Porto Goncalves, economics professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, said of Ms Rousseff's first years as president. "And the government, to fight inflation, raised interest rates to extremely high levels so demand decreased, and the recession came."

UAF police chief to head training panel
FAIRBANKS - The longtime police chief for the University of Alaska Fairbanks is stepping down to take over as the executive director of the Alaska Police Standards Council in Juneau.
In his new role, Terry Vrabec will oversee training issues for law enforcement officers and standards for police training academies in Alaska. The job is effective May 2.
"As a chief of police since 1997, I have seen how important that is to get the best-trained officers," said Vrabec, 42. "The better trained and educated they are, the more they will succeed in the field."
How Vrabec's replacement will be selected has not yet been determined, said UAF spokeswoman Carla Browning. An interim police chief will be announced this week.
As UAF police chief, Vrabec has run a department of about 30 people, including students who are community-service officers. The university police department enforces laws on campus and promotes safety.
In his new job, Vrabec will oversee a staff of three, he said. He will report to members of the police standards council and the commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety.
Vrabec began his law enforcement career at UAF, where he worked as a student security officer while studying for a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
Storm brings record rains to Seattle
SEATTLE - An early spring storm drenched Washington on both sides of the Cascades and brought snow to the mountains, turning Snoqualmie Pass into an icy mess where at least 30 accidents were reported, one of them fatal.
A man who left his vehicle to wait for a tow truck was struck and killed when a semi-truck spun out of control Saturday, the Washington State Patrol said. Troopers identified the man as Ernest A. Byng, 31, of Connell.
Interstate 90 was closed for much of Saturday afternoon. Most of the accidents caused only minor injuries, troopers said.
"People do not have their snow tires anymore, and they are not carrying chains," said Mike Westbay of the state Department of Transportation. "They ran into 12 inches of snow and they were stuck."
Saturday's rainfall of 1.51 inches at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport broke the March 26 record of 0.92 inch, set in 1988. And rainfall of 0.64 inch Sunday at the airport matched the 1968 record for the day.
Report: Fish in Spokane area tainted
SPOKANE, Wash. - A state Department of Ecology study has found that fish in the Spokane River have the highest concentrations of toxic flame retardants of any freshwater fish in Washington state.
PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, are chemicals used in electronics, plastics, building materials and textiles that build up in fish tissue and in the human body, including the breast milk of nursing mothers. They can cause neurological damage in babies.
"Fish from the Spokane River have the highest values of PBDEs found in Washington state to date," according to a September 2004 report from Ecology's toxics monitoring program.
The fish, sampled in 2001, had PBDE levels measuring 1,250 parts per billion. By comparison, salmon from a tributary of industrial Lake Michigan had PBDEs ranging from 44.6 to 148 parts per billion, the Ecology report says.
No one's sure why the levels are so high in the Spokane River.
"It's odd that we have that kind of high hit in the Spokane River," said Rob Duff, environmental health director for the state Health Department.
The state is moving to ban most dangerous PBDEs.
There are no fish consumption advisories anywhere in the country for PBDEs, because there's still not a lot of good data about what levels are harmful to people, Duff said.
PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were used in transformers and other industrial equipment until they were banned in the late 1970s. They're classified as a probable human carcinogen, and recent studies have shown that fetal exposure can lead to learning and behavior problems in children.
Ecology's study also found PCBs in rainbow trout in West Medical Lake, and dioxins in mountain whitefish in Lake Spokane.
Bill would regulate marketing credit cards
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington State University student Brea Thompson got her first credit card shortly before she left for her freshman year.
She used her new plastic to purchase everything from books and dorm-room decorations to food and clothes. Now a senior, Thompson said she spent thousands of dollars on various cards before realizing she was digging herself into a hole of debt.
"The thing that most students don't think about when they are spending money on an intangible object is that they're not going to reap the benefits years later when they're paying off something like a pizza," said Thompson, who is now WSU's student body president.
For college students tired of cheap beer and ramen noodles, credit cards can offer a seemingly easy road to a life of plenty. Throw in the gifts and perks offered by credit card companies and getting a card can be almost irresistible.
But not so fast, say a few Washington lawmakers.
The state House is considering a bill that would restrict the marketing of credit cards to college students on the state's public school campuses. The Senate already approved it.
Mother of teen settles wrongful death suit
SEATTLE - The mother of a 16-year-old boy who was stabbed and bludgeoned by two friends has settled a wrongful-death lawsuit against Seattle Public Schools.
The district paid Donna Jasmer $250,000 on Thursday, according to her longtime partner, Mike White.
In the coming weeks, the district also plans to unveil a new threat-notification policy that was drafted with the help of the Jasmer family, district spokesman Peter Daniels said.
An independent school district investigation found that days before John Jasmer was killed in August 2003, a parent told a district employee that members of the Roosevelt High's football team planned to kill him.
The school's vice principal claims he never received messages the parent and the district employee say they left - a lapse that signaled a need to tighten the district's policy, Chief Operations Officer Mark Green said last year.

Are Nonbelievers Perceived as Less Moral?
March 12, 2013
You've seen the headlines: the nonreligious are perceived as less moral (less trustworthy, etc) that the religious.
Well, not so fast. Are such studies geting confirmed? The journal Secularity and Nonreligion has published fresh research that can't find a bias against nonbelievers.
This new article, "Non-Theists Are No Less Moral Than Theists: Some Preliminary Results" by Justin Didyoung, Eric Charles, and Nicholas Rowland, has this abstract:
"The longstanding stereotype that non-theists are less moral than theists is not empirically supported. To test this commonplace assumption, 114 undergraduate participants were evaluated to draw comparisons about religious identity and altruism levels. Participants were placed into one of two groups, theists or non-theists. The theist group was then further divided: weakly religious, moderately religious, and highly religious. Non-theists and theists as a whole, as well as theist subgroup assessments, were compared. Data were collected through self-report surveys. Additionally, to test moral decision-making abilities, participants answered questions based on situational dilemmas. Using Kohlberg's coding schema, scores were assigned for the participant's global moral reasoning rather than for the content of their answers. Using independent groups t-test, ANOVA, and post-hoc tests,our findings suggest no support for the existence of the stereotype that non-theists are less moral than theists. Religious identity did not conclusively determine whether or not an individual was more moral or more altruistic."
You can read the study online. What do you think?
#1 ZachV (Guest) on Tuesday March 12, 2013 at 3:04pm
Well, I can see one issue already: "114 undergraduate participants were evaluated."
There are stereotypes that exist against college kids too, but I do not think it's a stretch to say these are generally young, educated people - regardless of religious affiliation.
If we were to study elderly, high school graduates and lower attainment participants, I think we'd reach different conclusion in the study.
#2 Steve (Guest) on Tuesday March 12, 2013 at 5:27pm
I think it's important to distinguish between "whether non-theists are actually less moral" and "whether society perceives non-theists as less moral".
The way I'm reading it, it looks like the study is talking about the first one, whereas your headline seems to address the second.
#3 Nolan (Guest) on Friday March 15, 2013 at 3:19pm
Looking at the abstract, it does look like it has to do with whether non-theists are as moral or altruistic as theists, not whether they are perceived as such. The immorality is what is not supported, not the existence of the stereotype, which is assumed to exist.

Just considering the night of the week for Sanford's League, possibly moving from last year's Monday time to Friday. What are your thoughts ? Does anyone know if Wickes Woods is planning on Monday again this year ?
And how many would participate in a PDGA singles league ?
yes they plan on doin g it on mondays again. I did a singles handicap league last year on fridays in saint charles and would get anywhere from 8 -12 people
Due to a job change, I may not be able to make many nights at Sandord this year. Monday would probably work better for me, however like I said I will be very hit or miss regardless.
Not alot of luck drawing players on Mon. I'm all for trying Fri.@ Sanford.
I'd be able to do more Fridays than any other day...can't think of a better place to play on Friday night!
i will do sanford on friday, i never liked the monday night for some reason.
I would make a Friday every once in a while...I think.
It's looking like Friday may be the day. How many people are interested in a PDGA Handicap singles league, maybe having the option to play before doubles every week ? I was thinking that this could take place Wednesdays at Freeland as well as prior to Sanford League ???
Never played handicap singles.........How would it work?
If its a PDGA league, then all players would have pdga ratings. A handicap can be figured from those. You can check out the PDGA league program at http://www.pdga.com/leagues . I'd be curious to know how josh did them before.

LAPD Officer Had Criminal Record
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 21, 2002
A police officer suspected of committing a series of armed robberies and stealing money from drug dealers had been arrested at least five times before he was even hired by the Police Department, court records show.
Officer William Ferguson, 30, was arrested four times on suspicion of theft and burglary as a juvenile, including once by the LAPD, which later hired him in 1996, records show. Juvenile court records that would show the outcome of those arrests are not available to the public.
A 1991 arrest when Ferguson was an adult resulted in a misdemeanor conviction for attempted burglary and three years' probation, court records show.
Department spokesman Lt. Horace Frank said any felony conviction _ even a conviction as a juvenile _ would bar a person from getting hired. Misdemeanor convictions or arrests would not automatically disqualify someone. Frank would not comment further, citing an investigation.
"It appears to me that there was a breakdown in the screening process," said Mitzi Grasso, president of the Police Protective League, the police union. "It's a problem that the department, the league and the city have been wrestling with for some time."
Ferguson and Officer Ruben Palomares, 32, are now being investigated for allegedly committing a series of home-invasion robberies and stealing narcotics and money from drug dealers. Both men have been suspended without pay. Neither has been charged. Their attorneys have denied the allegations.
Palomares was arrested in June after allegedly trying to buy more than 20 pounds of cocaine from an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent. He is also a suspect in a 1999 homicide.
Numerous complaints have been filed against Ferguson, who has been investigated on allegations that he framed suspects, planted evidence and intimidated a witness.

What was your best experience in the field covering this story?
While working with my friend John Broadwater from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association, he heard about Adrian and Dori Pearsall, a Pennsylvania couple who claimed to have the Merrimack's bell. They bought it at an auction in Rhode Island about 30 years ago. So we went to their home and, sure enough, the bell had the word "Merrimac" across it. The question at that point was if it was real. I got the National Geographic involved, and the research checked out. Then we called the U.S. Navy and after looking into it, they authenticated it as one of the Merrimack's watch bells. Since then the Pearsalls have donated it to the Naval Historical Center in Washington, D.C., where it will go on display in the Navy Museum.
What was your worst experience in the field covering this story?
The first battle between ironclad ships was fought in what is today Northrop Grumman's shipyard in Newport News, Virginia. Now there is a continuum of history because this is where all the Navy's aircraft carriers are built. So to illustrate this point I wanted to photograph the bow being put on the George H. W. Bush carrier. I waited about a year for this to happen and got all the permissions, but when the day actually came there was a torrential rainstorm. That wasn't going to stop the bow from moving, so I had to try and take a good picture shooting right into the downpour. Luckily, I ended up getting it.
What was your quirkiest experience in the field covering this story?
I heard the National Civil War Naval Museum in Port Columbus, Georgia, was still firing a rifled Brooke cannon from a Civil War ship. So I went there in the summer when Civil War re-enactors were firing it. But the first time the cannon went off, all I saw was big clouds of smoke. I needed to see a muzzle flash. I don't know a lot about explosives, but I went over and asked one of the guys what they were putting in the charge. He said baking powder. So I said, "Isn't baking powder used to put out grease fires?" Well, that's what was cutting out the muzzle flash. Then I found out that they sometimes use cornmeal, and that made me think about how corn silos explode when too much gas builds up. So I asked them to try the cornmeal—and that gave me my big flash.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- See Minorca1.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
The creative designers from Dom Arquitectura are to be blamed for coming up with such an astonishing summer house in Menorca — one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to Spain.
Today we bring you this breathtaking home in Menorca, Spain.
Part of the community is currently built-out, and Lennar is selling the two final sections called Menorca and Santorini.
On a clear day you can even sea the island of Menorca, which is more than 40 miles to the east.
The News is NowPublic.com - NowPublic.com: The News is Now Public
The house on Menorca that she and her sister have inherited from their grandmother has changed almost beyond recognition.
Accommodation is in a farmhouse turned boutique hotel, the Binigaus Vell, in a designated area of special natural interest, close to the village of Es Migjorn Gran in the south of the island, less than 3km from some of Menorca's wonderful beaches.• 01534 745795, theridingcompany.com.
And she found herself giggling at the thought that every mother in Menorca was keeping her daughters indoors, away from the clutches of Ferran and Oriol.
Her family would, she presumed, have been alerted by Gloria the portera with the news that Carme had arrived and that she knew they were in Menorca, but they would hardly expect her to arrive so soon.
He was an average student, but he managed to get an externship first at a restaurant on the island of Menorca and then at La Broche in Madrid.
The small skull of Nuralagus, which lived on Menorca, suggests dramatic decreases in hearing, sight, and motor-related abilities compared to typical rabbits.

FIRST ON 3: New Hanover Co. Animal Control Manager fired
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — New Hanover County Animal Control Manager Jean McNeil has been fired. McNeil confirmed her dismissal to WWAY, but she said she could not talk about what happened at this time.
McNeil had been on administrative leave since Dec. 22. She says being placed on leave was retaliation from her boss Health Director David Rice after McNeil raised concerns about her workers not receiving emergency pay during Hurricane Irene. She also blamed Rice for ignoring her allegations of violence in the workplace.
The Board of Health discussed McNeil's suspension last week, but no decisions were made at that time.
Stay with WWAY for more information as it becomes available.

Knowledge Connections, Inc. (KCI) protests the terms of solicitation No. HSCEAM-06-R-00014, issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for reservation center support services.
We dismiss the protest.
B-298172, Knowledge Connections, Inc., April 12, 2006
Matter of: Knowledge Connections, Inc.
Barry Roberts, Esq., for the protester.
Virginia G. Farrier, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
GAO has no jurisdiction to consider protest of solicitation for services issued by the Transportation Security Administration since that agency is subject to the Federal Aviation Administration's Acquisition Management System that is expressly exempted from GAO's bid protest jurisdiction.
Knowledge Connections, Inc. (KCI) protests the terms of solicitation No. HSCEAM-06-R-00014, issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for reservation center support services.
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), relevant parts of which are set forth at 49 U.S.C. sect. 114 (2004 Supp.), established in 2001 the TSA as a new agency within the Department of Transportation (DOT) and tasked it with security responsibilities for all modes of transportation overseen by the DOT and other related activities. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. sect. 40110(d) (2005 Supp.), TSA procurements are subject to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS). Procurements subject to the AMS are specifically exempted from our bid protest jurisdiction. 49 U.S.C. sect. 40110(d)(2)(F). Although the Homeland Security Act of 2002 transferred the TSA to the Department of Homeland Security, Pub. L. 107-296,116 Stat. 2135, 2173 (2002), the Act did not alter or amend the exemption from our bid protest jurisdiction.
In the past, we have found that the bid protest exemption did not apply to protests involving TSA solicitations or contracts for services, which therefore remained subject to our bid protest jurisdiction. Resource Consultants, Inc., B'290163, B'290163.2,
(o) ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.--The acquisition management system established by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration under section 40110 shall apply to acquisitions of equipment, supplies, and materials by the Transportation Security Administration, or, subject to the requirements of such section, the Under Secretary may make such modifications to the acquisition management system with respect to such acquisitions of equipment, supplies, and materials as the Under Secretary considers appropriate, such as adopting aspects of other acquisition management systems of the Department of Transportation.
49 U.S.C. sect. 114(o) (emphasis added).[1] However, in 2005, Congress enacted Public Law 109-90, 119 Stat. 2064 et seq., which at Title V provides as follows:
Sec. 515. For fiscal year 2006 and thereafter, the acquisition management system of the [TSA] shall apply to the acquisition of services, as well as equipment, supplies, and materials.
119 Stat. 2084. Since Congress has now provided that TSA acquisitions for services are covered by the AMS, KCI's protest of the solicitation for these services is exempt from our bid protest jurisdiction. 49 U.S.C. sect. 40110(d)(2)(F).
The protest is dismissed.
Anthony H. Gamboa
General Counsel
[1] Our decision in Resources Consultants, Inc., supra, cited to section 101(o) of Public Law No. 107-71 (2001), which was later set forth at 49 U.S.C. sect. 114(o).

Gerardo Martino was insistent Barcelona did more than enough to win after their 1-0 defeat to La Liga strugglers Granada handed the title intitiative to Atletico and Real Madrid.
The Catalans had 86% of the possession but spurned a number of openings, with Yacine Brahimi's first half strike the difference between the two sides on Saturday evening.
The result leaves Atletico a point clear at the top of La Liga ahead of their clash with Getafe on Sunday, while Real Madrid will move a point clear of the Blaugrana with victory over Almeria.
Martino said: "Liga lost? It is out of our hands now, of course. But we will keep fighting. I can't blame the players, they kept going, we had the chances but just couldn't finish.
"We'll keep on fighting until the end and of course in the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday as well."
Javier Mascherano partnered Alex Song at centre-back, with Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique both absent through injury, and the Argentine echoed the sentiments of Martino in backing Barca to bounce back.
"We have to get up now and show we're men," he added. "On Wednesday we cannot fail, we have to give ourselves and the fans some joy.
"We didn't play a bad game today, we worked hard but the ball just didn't want to go in."

FlexPlay, which was bought by Convex in September, has provided it's EZ-D technology to other companies as well, such as Walt Disney, Co., who has run limited trials on FlexPlay discs for over a year now.
While Disney's trials have been a sort of a substitute for rentals, Convex has a different approach. The movie, Noel, is a low-budget film that will open in only 10 cities around the US. Those who want to see the movie, but can't find it in their city, can purchase the movie from Amazon on a FlexPlay disc, and watch it at home. If they like it, they may even buy the fully featured DVD once it's released.
More information on the movie and FlexPlay is available on the product page at Amazon.com

Brad Richards snapped a tie in the opening minute of the third period, and the New York Rangers handed the Florida Panthers their ninth straight loss with a 4-3 victory Sunday night.
Richards snapped a shot past goalie Tim Thomas 46 seconds in, for his first goal in nine games. New York then held on for its third consecutive win and sixth in seven games.
Mats Zuccarello made it 4-2 at 6:16 during the Rangers' two-man power play, off a pass from Richards, and J.T. Miller and Derek Dorsett also scored for New York.
Brian Campbell scored his second of the game to cut Florida's deficit to 4-3 with 7:03 left.
Devils 5, Predators 0: Jaromir Jagr scored 90 seconds into the game to become the eighth player in NHL history to reach 1,700 career points, and Martin Brodeur got his 123rd career shutout and 673rd career victory. Jagr, who also had an assist, boosted his career totals to 686 goals and 1,015 assists, to put him at 1,701.
Canadiens 4, Isles 2: Alex Galchenyuk and Lars Eller each had a goal and two assists, and Montreal coach Michel Therrien earned his 250th NHL win.

Press Release
The Peterborough Petes announced today that General Manager David Reid has completed a trade with the London Knights that sends 19 year old forward Austin Watson and a 4th round draft pick in 2016 to the Knights in exchange for 17 year old left winger Chase Hatcher, London's 2nd round draft pick in 2014 and Mississauga's 2016, and a conditional 3rd round draft pick in 2018 should Watson return to the OHL next season as an overage player.
Hatcher, a 6'3" 1994 born power forward from Haddonfield, NJ is the son of former Dallas Stars captain Derian Hatcher.
"Chase is a big winger with good skill who has been playing behind a group of young forwards in London" says Petes General Manager David Reid. "We expect Chase to be a big power forward for the Petes this year and in future years."
"The Petes would like to thank Austin for his two years of service with the Petes and wish him the best of luck with the Knights and in his future career."

Atreyu to Release 'Covers of the Damned' EP With Tourmates
Atreyu will give fans the ultimate tour souvernier with 'Covers of the Damned,' a free, five-song digital EP that features the OC band and the rest of the Congregation of the Damned Tour bands, Blessthefall, Chiodos, Architects (UK) and Endless Hallway. The tour begins on Oct. 20, but the EP will be available in the U.S. on Oct. 12. Can't wait till then? You can quell your hunger by listening to the exclusive stream at for two days.
If you are a music nerd and don't love digital distribution of music, you can always nab a limited-edition vinyl version of the EP at each tour date. Another reason to get your ass out to see tour is the fact that several of the 'Covers of the Damned' EP tracks will be performed live and with special guests.
The EP boasts two Atreyu covers and three collaborations with the rest of the bands. It was produced by Noah Shain who said "These young bands all have a unique and different approach to rock music … such radical interpretations of dangerously classic songs. It was amazing to see and hear these guys work together! We recorded the album in a very short amount of time and everyone followed their instincts, so what you hear is an honest interpretation of the music of an older generation filtered through the ears and hands of the generation of artists making the music that defines today's culture."
Atreyu vocalist Alex Varkatzas also noted that bands on a tour partnering up to release an EP is a rare (and often logistically confounding) event! "We wanted to collaborate with the bands on our tour to create a fun series of covers. This s— was fun to record and will be fun to listen to," the singer said. Atreyu bassist Mark McKnight designed and created the artwork for 'Covers of the Damned,' as well.
You can watch the band blast through an Atreyu'ized version of Aerosmith. Don't go questioning Atreyu's scene cred due to this cover; they do a bang up job. "I really wanted play an Aerosmith song," said bassist Brandon Saller. "We did Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer' years ago, and I wanted to cover another iconic band from that era. No matter what age or where you're from, Aerosmith comes on and you're ready to party."

On March 16, Studio C Photography of Frederick presents "Over the Rainbow," Frederick's first LGBT Wedding and Fashion Expo. The show will feature more than 30 gay and gay-friendly wedding vendors in all categories. There will be a fashion show with same-sex couples in wedding attire to include M. Stein Tuxedo, private designer dresses, gowns, and suits, and "Under A Hundred" budget-conscious ensembles.
The Expo will be held in the Atrium at the FSK Holiday Inn, 5400 Holiday Dr. in Frederick from 1-4 p.m. There is ample free parking, and the Expo is conveniently right off I-270, I-70, and Rt. 15.
"To date, LGBT wedding shows have been made up of vendors who are there to sell their services, which of course is the point; but not all of them are truly gay friendly," Susan Centineo, owner of Studio C Photography, told the Blade. "This show promises vendors who have been screened and who are truly committed to providing red-carpet service for same-sex weddings, and we have added a same-sex fashion show to boot."
Admission is free, and there will be drawings, raffles, and discounts for same-day bookings with vendors. You may RSVP in advance to qualify for a cash drawing. Email Susan at email@example.com or call/text 240-446-6085. A few vendor openings are still available.
Looking forward to this show and we're very happy to be involved with the floral work for the fashion show.
If anyone has any specific requests for floral decor examples you can email us on firstname.lastname@example.com

You did it after having a secured card reporting.
ok, sorry. I guess NFCU is definately the best option then.
And Capital One, if OP can get one without many fees.

LOL @ wanting help with how to fix credit and a name like 2FixMyCredit and then not taking the easiest route - secured credit cards.
Good luck with your rebuild buddy.
You just showed your true intelligence, or lack there of. To me I don't care what is the easiest route. If you would have used the few brain cells you have left and actually read the thread you would see the following:
I was approved for a Bank Americard with 0% interested and no annual fee.
I was approved for Fingerhut.
I have Aaron's reporting.
That is, as already stated; a store card, a revovling account and an installment account. I currently have no need for a secured card and will not ever get one. Ever. If someone else wants to pay interest on their own money wants or NEEDS to do so to build credit them so be it, but I do not, thanks to the advice of the few greats on here I've avoided that.
With a 580 score, chances for any decent unsecured credit card are ZERO.
Not true, as above I did get approved for a fairly decent card with such a low score.
even the low down FHA requires 3% down plus closing costs, so you really need to have a savings plan.
I do have a savings plan, ( I would hope that most people do!) I have funds in savings that are absolutely only for a home. But I have also gotten pre-approval for USDA, the funds in savings would cover an additional costs to move. Not for a ton secured cards, that may or may not graduate and you may or may not get your money back when you want.
Now with that being said. Please do stop promoting secured cards to me. I totally get that many of you think they are great and seem to think, for some odd reason that it is my only chance of improving my scores. I think differently. At this point it is a matter of gardening, getting utilization to report right and waiting for inquiries to fall of for my reports.
not to be a jerk but you talk about not wantin the bank to earn your interest, but you are paying aarons outrageous interest?
Why would someone come to this forum and ask for advice and then be SOOOOOOO defensive when people who have been successful at rebuilding gives them very solid advice??
I would like to be supportive....but at this point I have nothing positive to say.
Best of luck!!

Read the first post. I asked if I had a chance with USAA, I didn't ask how to build my credit as I have already figured that out. And most of you have done nothing but push secured cards down my throat when I have said from the beginning of this post I had no interest in them.
not to be a jerk but you talk about not wantin the bank to earn your interest, but you are paying aarons outrageous interest?
Aarons was started almost two years ago when I wasn't credit wise, I might as well finish paying them off or else that is a huge waste of money for me.
Not taking sides here, but he's probably just frustrated that the first thing he said was not to bother suggesting secured cards, and that all that anyone talked about! Whether he takes anyone's advice is his choice, but all we can do is give our opinion and wish others the best!
Yes, that is exactly my problem right now! I am not trying to be rude but nearly ever post I put on here all I hear is the constant "you have no choice but get a secured card" over and over again, when that is not my only option, or an option for me at all. Atleast you figured out why I'm so irritated with this thread LOL!

Twins Angharad and Megan Phillips were on their way to university this autumn, but a chance to make the Rio 2016 Olympics has seen them put their plans on hold. They tell Kirstie McCrum why shaping up for a medal has become their top priority
CHAMPION table tennis twins Angharad and Megan Phillips are something special with a bat in their hands – so much so that they've put their university education on hold to pursue medal glory.
The girls, who are aged 18 and have been playing for seven years, have given up their university places to follow their dream, hoping to embrace success at the Rio 2016 Games and also aiming for a medal at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014.
Behind their single-minded drive for success, Angharad says that they're just normal sisters, albeit with an extraordinary talent, who get on the same as any family.
"We spend a lot of our time together going shopping and things, and we've got the same friends as well, so if we go out with friends, it will be together.
"We don't fall out as much as we did when we were younger. We spend so much time together that it's inevitable but it's all right most of the time," she adds.
The talented duo, originally from Denbigh but who have spent the past two years in sixth form in Cardiff, started playing the sport when their parents Tegid and Sue Phillips bought them a table tennis table for Christmas in 2005.
"We asked for either table football or a table tennis table, so the decision to go with a table tennis table was a pretty life-changing one when we were 11.
"We had a bit of natural talent, because we started playing for Wales after four months of playing at the local club, but we also trained harder than most people, so that was a big advantage. It was quite lucky that we were twins because if there was only one of us or if one was much older then we might not have been able to spend so much time practising," Angharad says.
After passing their A levels at Ysgol Glantaf this summer, gaining a total of four A grades and two A* grades between them, the decision to put their education on hold was a tough one.
Angharad, the younger twin by one minute, says: "I was going to study business management at Leicester and Megan was going to study sociology at Durham. But if we want the best possible chance to get to the Commonwealth Games and Rio, we have to train full-time and we wouldn't be able to put our best effort into it if we had to study as well."
"We have good training at Sport Wales in Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, but to get to the next level, we have to practise against better people. We go to training camps in Germany and Romania and you know whoever you're matched with you're going to have a good practice session, it's much more tiring," she adds.
The young stars are now looking for sponsors to help meet the huge costs involved as table tennis is a minority sport, but success seems within their grasp as the girls are from a thoroughly sporting family. Dad Tegid played football for Wales under 19s, while the girls' grandfather Les Phillips represented Great Britain in the discus. Uncle John Phillips represented Great Britain in the triple jump, and more recently their cousin Ben Lovell was crowned Welsh Mountain Biking Champion.
"I don't feel any pressure, I'm inspired because other people in our family have been successful in sport, I think we've always thought it would be possible for us as well."
In the Welsh rankings for October Megan was sitting seven places above Angharad, but the younger sister says that they're not in competition unless they're on the court. Then it's anyone's game.
"I think we're as competitive against each other as we are against other people. Obviously we both want one another to do well, but when we play a match, you do want to win just as much as in any other game.
"I wouldn't say we have any twin intuition or anything, but it's just because we spend so much time together that we can read each other's games," she says.
Angharad says that the days of using their identical looks to play tricks on people have long gone.
"We are pretty similar in personality and looks. There are probably different things about us, but you'd have to ask somebody else about that. We're both very competitive.
"In primary school when we had set seats we used to swap seats sometimes and swap work but it's become more difficult as we've grown older because we are less similar.
"When people first meet us they normally can't tell the difference, but I think once you spend a bit of time with us, it's quite easy to tell."
Potential sponsors should contact Tegid Phillips at email@example.com or on 01745 812375 or 07901 097397.

I have a client that I built a site for (i2isouthhookgas.wordpress.com) the control their own domain and it is currently pointed at another site.
Now this new wordpress.com hosted sited is ready to go live, they are telling me that they can't use the instructions on the support pages for mapping an existing domain. They say they will only do it if they can have an ip address or they will have to do a URL redirection.
I may be wrong but as I understand it even if they do a redirect (not ideal) - the domain mapping function will mask out the xxx.wordpress.com domain?
What I could do with if possible is a something that I can mail back to them as a reasonable reply as to why they should be doing it in the way specified on the support forum...
this part of the process baffles me...
The blog I need help with is i2isouthhookgas.wordpress.com.

CPS plans
Re: "CPS rate jump would hit home very hard, so let's not be hasty," Cris Medina, Another View, Monday:
Kudos to City Councilman Cris Medina's examination of the rate hike CPS Energy will be requesting next month. He broke it down very clearly in a manner anyone could understand.
I was talking to a CPS representative, after I read his explanation, and told her about it. She was very interested in reading it also — and spreading the word among her co-workers.
Guess the everyday CPS worker isn't part of Beneby's rate hike plan.
Flawed theory
We have been told that we need these folks, undocumented workers, because of the jobs that Americans "just won't do." I believe that, in the rush to sell us that concept, there has been no thorough analysis to confirm it.
Case in point: Recently, I posted an online ad: "Lawn worker needed. $8 per hour."
In three hours, I had emails from 12 applicants. Not one of them has a Hispanic name. Four are high school students. The others are men ranging from 21 to 47. Some have families. Some are veterans.
Perhaps some of the knowledgeable immigration reform advocates would be kind enough to enlighten us as to where we can read the studies that legitimize their position.
Mike Colley, Universal City
PC parrots
It is sadly amusing watching our City Council run away from Elisa Chan like frightened children escaping the bogeyman. It makes me think that voicing an opinion that is not "politically correct" is now a worse condition than a serious communicable disease. Our city is now stuck with these "PC" parrots. I assume that the recording staffer will be properly rewarded, though never trusted to anyone's staff again.
Fed up
I could hardly believe my ears when Mr. Obama delivered a news conference to state that the U.S. condemns the atrocities being committed by the Egyptian military, only to have a State Department spokesman shortly thereafter announce that we were still going to give the Egyptian military $1 billion in military aid, which will ensure that we do not lose the connections we have with that region.
Wow. Have you ever tried to buy friendship? Chances are, what you offered will be taken as an insult and you will be snubbed because you did not double the amount!
Is it just me or do I smell something rotten when I see our officials behaving in such a demeaning manner? Do all politicians have to behave in such an unseemly fashion?
When will the real American spirit dominate so that our leaders say what they mean and mean what they say?
Somewhere along the way, they must have had special training in double-speak and deceit.

London Irish came within one point of lifting the Guinness Premiership trophy last season, and Jon Hobbs believes that they will be in the running once again at the end of the year.
Steffon Armitage could feature heavily for Irish and England this season
Players In
Andy Perry (Newcastle Falcons)
Paulica Ion (Bath Rugby)
Ryan Lamb (Gloucester Rugby)
Jamie Lennard (Doncaster Knights)
Chris Malone (Harlequins)
George Stowers (Kobe, Japan)
James Tideswell (Plymouth Albion)
Ben Stevenson (Newbury)
Players Out
James Bailey (Lyon)
Warren Fury (London Wasps)
Shane Geraghty (Northampton Saints)
James Hudson (Newcastle Falcons)
Tonga Lea'aetoa (Toulon)
Dominic Shabbo (London Welsh)
Richard Skuse (Saracens)
Eoghan Hickey (London Wasps)
London Irish will rely on a very similar 1st XV to last season to bring them the Premiership crown they got so close to nabbing. Playing some fantastic rugby through the season they deserved their place in the final but were outplayed in the big match when it counted.
Shane Geraghty is a big loss and has not been replaced with the same quality – signing three average fly-halves is money that could have been spent better on one obvious first-choicer and an understudy. Ryan Lamb cannot structure a game to combat different types of opposition, Chris Malone has proven limited throughout his career and Jamie Lennard is untested at this level. This will be where the Exiles come unstuck.
They have enough quality in the Armitage brothers, Peter Hewat, Richard Thorpe and Nick Kennedy (to name a few) to beat most of the better teams but without a proven fly-half they may not win the big matches.
However, this comes at a time when many of their challenging clubs have been rocked by summers spent in turmoil and they should benefit from being a settled squad with an excellent coach. They will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season but I don't think they will win it.
Prediction: 2nd (losing finalists)

Proponents of a proposed charter school in Davidson County met a flurry of questions from interested parents on Tuesday in Lexington.
Proponents of a proposed charter school in Davidson County met a flurry of questions from interested parents on Tuesday in Lexington.
Davidson Charter Academy, which held its first informational meeting at the J. Smith Young YMCA, is one of 69 charter school applicants across the state seeking approval from the N.C. State Board of Education.
The school, which would eventually house grades K-8, would use state, local and federal funding allocations to the county's three school systems to operate.
If approved, it would be the first charter school in Davidson County and the only non-traditional public school.
"When we sat down and started talking about what is best, a lot of concerns were based on the fact that currently, our children are asked to fit in this one box and if they don't fit in this box, they kind of get left behind or are under served," said Erin Steenwyk, a Lexington resident and chairwoman of the board applying for the charter. "That's why we want to focus on individual instruction and dynamic learning environment."
About 30 interested parents attended the informational meeting. While questions varied from the school's proposed budget to the curriculum, most wanted to make sure their child would be guaranteed a spot in.
Board members hope to initially serve 216 students in grades K-5, with an additional grade being added each year until the school serves grades K-8.
For the first year, admission will be open to anyone in the state of North Carolina and interested parents must fill out registration forms to attend, Steenwyk said. There will be no testing, no tuition and no interviews; however, if the number of applicants exceeds the planned enrollment, a lottery will be used to determine who can get in, she said.
Parents Danny and April Thompson said there are no alternative schooling options in the surrounding area.
"I think it's a great idea and it needs to happen," Danny Thompson said. "You have so many people currently going to other places and some that are commuting 2-3 hours per day."
About 882 Davidson County students go to private schools elsewhere while about 32 students attend charter schools in other areas, according to the N.C. Department of Administration. Additionally, about 1,657 Davidson County students were home schooled during the 2011-12 school year, according to the department of administration.
Two of the Thompson's children attended Davidson Academy, a private school that operated from 1997 to 2009, when it closed.
Jane Whitehurst, who helped found Davidson Academy, is the president of the proposed charter school board.
Other board members are small business owner Adam Sewell, adjunct instructor Mary Sewell, pharmacist Dr. Michael Rinaggio, wellness coordinator Tracy Hensley, certified public accountant Charles Taylor, therapy assistant Wendy Gleason and home-school teacher Lisa Hathaway, according to the application.
The proposed school would have smaller class sizes and teachers would remain with students for two years. The curriculum would center on the Core Knowledge Sequence, which revolves around the idea that "knowledge builds on knowledge" and gives teachers lots of latitude as far as how they teach the material, according to the charter's application.
A location for the school has not been determined yet, but board members are considering areas just north and south of Lexington, Steenwyk said.
One potential location is the American Children's Home just south of Lexington.
"The facility is not big enough, but they do have some land they said they could lease us," Steenwyk said, adding that they could employ modular classrooms to meet space requirements.
The board plans to eventually build a $4 million 36,000-square-foot facility, including a gymnasium, according to the charter's application.
The board would hire about 20 staff members the first year, including a headmaster, on assistant administrator and 12 core content teachers, according to the charter's application. The school's budget does not include funding for teaching assistants, Steenwyk said.
Responding to an inquiry from one interested parent about logistics, Steenwyk said the proposed school's current transportation plan is carpooling students.
"If there is a student who cannot find a ride to school, we will find a way to get them to school," Steenwyk said.
In addition, Steenwyk said the current lunch plan is for student's to bring their own lunch.
"That's not money we have right now," Steenwyk said. "If a child comes to school right now, we plan to have a food pantry or food closet. We don't want that to be a barrier."
While board members anticipate 216 students the first year, they have built in a $150,000 contingency reserve for under-enrollment and a $48,000 contingency reserve for under-budgeting.
Proponents are currently spreading interest about the new school through word of mouth, its website www.davidsoncharteracademy.org, and its page on Facebook.
Hundreds of groups have applied to open new schools since the General Assembly lifted a cap on charters, which are tax-funded schools allowed to operate with fewer regulations.
All applications for schools hoping to open by 2014 will be reviewed by the Public Charter School Advisory Council, which has already eliminated 27 applicants that were considered incomplete.
The council will make recommendations to the North Carolina State Board of Education, which has the authority to grant preliminary approval.
Last year, the State Board of Education granted preliminary approval to 25 charter applicants hoping to open for the 2013-14 school year. All but one of those schools received final approval by the board earlier this year.
Eddie Goodall, executive director of the N.C. Public Charter Schools Association, told parents on Tuesday the decision on Davidson Charter Academy should come later this summer.
"Sometime in August or September, we should know if we have a charter or not," Goodall said.

Who I am, and what I like to do is quite straightforward. I am an Afrikaans speaking white male, living in South Africa,Gauteng province, Johannesburg. I love reading, anything electronic, camping and the occasional LAN. I do not Facebook, as it consistently robs a person of free time without the person realizing it. Other hobbies include scuba-diving, cooking and gardening. I plan to have a career as a programmer or some other activity within the IT field.
The geeky stuff:
My favorite games *SIGH* are real-time or turn-based strategy games, and I am an Age of Empires, C&C, and rise of nations fanatic. I love mods and even helped test C&C3 The Forgotten- a mod for C&C3 Tiberium Wars. I also enjoyed "dwarf-fortress" an obscene and senselessly complicated game where you control a colony of willful dwarfs who just refuse to follow orders and frustrate the hell out of any player imaginable-Really. Google it, download it- AND LEARN TO PLAY IT, and you will have earned my complete respect.
Monday 7 may
Greetings readers, I sincerely hope that you enjoy my posts. If you wish me to change my style, tone or way of writing- please post a comment and I will see what I can do. This blog is meant to be read, and therefore, you have a right and a say in how it's to be written. Now, after all the inconsequential and unimportant information has been given through, the update on my life awaits.
My Sunday was slow and boring, with nothing much going on. Sundays are meant to be enjoyed, and in that I failed. Miserably. I can honestly say the I did not enjoy mine, although I would have to tell a lie to say it was terrible. Sunday was just another day, nothing special or relevant happened. The only thing that I can recall of the top off my head, is that we had a new pastor preaching at church. Our old one decided that life in ours wasn't what he wanted most in life- so he just left. We've had a few guest one's preaching to see if we like any and then we plan to "employ " the one that performed the best.
So that just leaves today, and it went far better. Excuse me, and bear with me since I am still in school so my highlight was not getting drunk with a few lesbians or something equally bizarre. It was just an easy day. A relaxed day, a day all children still at school would envy for we all are alike in that way. My schedule consisted of my normal subjects, but I had physics off, did nothing in Afrikaans( our teacher decided that she should enrich us and read literature pieces while we held a picknick, outside) and then we did film study in English. this means that my school-day consisted of nothing strenuous or overly taxing. After school and school activities which ended 16:00 I had fencing practice till 19:00, although it technically started at 17:00. I've also seen this nice trick, follow my command:
LOOK LEFT ===>===>===>===>===>===>====>====> Bet you failed. Some of the best things are corny in essence, I'll write again in two days! Thanx for reading, and remember to comment if you deem it necessary!

Cutting Out the Fat
By Larissa Lytwyn/HealthyLife
Sometimes, looking our best takes more than a smile. As we age, the advent of wrinkles and sagging skin — turkey neck, anyone? — can make even a natural-aging purist want to tap the Fountain of Youth. As the economy slowly bounces back, more baby boomers and even Gen Xers are considering ways to preserve their looks.
According to the 2010 annual survey of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, more patients are opting for nonsurgical procedures, such as Botox and fillers, typically called injectables. "Due to advances in minimally invasive technology, it's taking less time than ever before to recover from these kinds of procedures," says Dr. Malcolm Roth, chairman of plastic surgery at Albany Medical Center and current president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
While pain and recovery time depends on the patient, Roth says that everything, from facelifts to even complex breast augmentation surgery can, on average, now only take a few days to recover from. "You can have the procedure done on a Friday and come back to work on Monday," Roth says. And noninvasive procedures such as Botox can require virtually no recovery time at all.
Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles, subsequently softening expression lines caused by crow's feet, for instance, or frown lines. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm fill creases in the skin. Although fillers are excellent ways to "stave off" the advancement of aging, Roth adds, "they only last months, while surgery is a more permanent way to create the change you want to see." If you don't like the filler's results, however, you don't have to wait long until the body gradually absorbs the filler.
A procedure such as breast augmentation, however, can last 8-10 years, Roth says. Subsequent procedures might be required if you're not crazy about the results. "Fillers are great for people who are not sure if they want surgery, or if they simply aren't ready to go that route yet," Roth says.
It should be noted, Roth says, that breast augmentation isn't just about acquiring larger breasts or reducing them. Roth says patients consider the procedure if one breast is significantly larger or smaller than the other, or to correct notable post-childbearing sag or changes after significant weight loss. "There has been tremendous growth in the field during the last 30 years, a lot of advancement," Roth says. "A big difference is that we are now in our third generation of silicone implants, which are more durable than ever. "Also, only about 1 percent, if that, suffer leakage, and if they do, it is not life threatening," Roth says. "It can be repaired."
Roth is particularly interested in breast reconstructive surgery for breast cancer survivors. "In this situation, it's covered by insurance as a medical procedure," Roth says.
A new trend is that more surgeons are using liposuction techniques to fill the breast area. In other words, you can take excess fat from your thigh, abdomen or even buttocks, Roth says, and inject it into the breast area. "For women with a medical reconstructive need, such as surviving cancer, this can be an additional bonus," Roth says.
His patients, however, are not all women. "I would say about 20 percent of my patients are now men," he says. Their treatments typically include breast augmentation, liposuction and facelifts. "The biggest concern to bear in mind with all these procedures is that these are still medical procedures," Roth says. "They are not to be taken lightly. They may take less time to recover from, but they are still surgical procedures."

A student pilot is OK despite her plane crashing at the Muskegon County Airport.
The plane, described as a single-engine aircraft, went down during landing just before 2:20 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler said. Its front-nose wheel collapsed and bent upon contact with the ground, causing the aircraft to skid to a stop.
The plane appeared to be largely intact and not on fire, a witness told WZZM.
"I was sitting in my living room when I heard a fire whistle go off, which I think was kind of unusual," said Terry Knoll, who then went outside to investigate the scene.
The pilot is an 18-year-old Indiana woman who was completing some advanced flying time just before the crash, Roesler said. She waved off medical help before ambulances arrived, according to dispatch traffic.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety board are tasked to continue an investigation.
Alcohol nor drugs are not believed to be factors in the crash.


text: Hello all, I don't know how much longer I will have access to my UW account (and I haven't figured out how to get newsgroups on this bloody IBM they gave me... I am a MAC person!) - but I thought I'd post a quick note. So - I'm two weeks into my contract here in SUNNY (just recently turned ugly) Oregon (I'm actually at Western, for the record). I start teaching on Monday with a moderately heavy courseload (one full general micro. class and half the general biology for majors course). I run one lab by myself (for the micro. class) and then administer two labs for the general biology course (these are not my responsibility to design or set up, in contrast with the micro. class). There are 100 students in bio. and 14 in micro. I completed about 60% of my lecture materials over the summer, which has helped a GREAT deal. I got lazy, though, at the end - and so I am approaching this quarter with the following philosophy: keep three weeks ahead at all times. My first week in Oregon, prior to beginning the contract, I settled into my brand new house (which, contrary to a few people's initial feelings, has been THE BEST distraction - I go out and till the unlandscaped yard and plant things when I need a break). My second week, on contract, I had open time to do whatever I wanted and spent most of the time setting up my teaching lab (making media, media, media). Coming from molecular virology, I have been surprised that I can still Gram Stain on the first try (it's these damn flagella stains that just don't work!). The second week on contract has been mostly administrative or university stuff. Basically, 6-8 hours a day of things like seminars on advising, insurance, or the rivetting convocation today (they had some guy give THE best speech I've heard in awhile here - incredible). I have been thoroughly enjoying my colleagues and am totally impressed by the vigorous woman president here - she seems highly respected by the students and faculty. I am still waiting to hear about how much start-up they approve. After chewing my nails a few times over budget talks, I started getting a little nervous that the meagre 8-10K I wrote a proposal for was NOT going to get funded. But then the provost approached me at a function and said he really liked the proposal and I would probably get all the money by the end of the quarter. My hope has been to do lab set-up in winter, troubleshoot stuff in the spring and then actually start some little research in the summer. The dept. head is holding my hand through a small money equipment grant with the NSF - he thinks I would be the perfect one to request a small-scale DNA sequencer. We figure we'll get rejected the first time but why wait. So - yes, I'm writing a grant. Well - I think that's about it. Oh - we're hiring three new bio. faculty this year (mostly ecology, plant, anatomy types). I go on search committees next year to fill another 1-2 positions. The university hired 14 new tenure track faculty this year, 12 of whom were women. I thought I'd heard ever horror story in the book about hiring statistics until I met this really neat woman in Renaissance literature who claimed there were 1500 applicants for one position at Notre Dame. So - I guess I might have to re-think all my job complaining after that one. My new address (which should work is boomers at fsa.wou.edu). Drop me a line! Cheers, Sarah
