July 3rd, 2009
ATLANTA–(BW HealthWire)–Nov. 12, 1998– Cosmetic Surgery Consultants serves as “Consumer Advocate” for A November 1st “60 Minutes” segment on cosmetic surgery showed the growing popularity of cosmetic surgery while a fictional story line on Mondays “LA Doctors” showed what can happen when a supposedly “routine” liposuction surgery goes wrong. “Over 3 million cosmetic surgeries are performed on an annual basis and over the past 5 years the number of procedures has grown by 50%. This increased popularity and prevalence across the entire population has contributed to the general perception that cosmetic surgery is risk free,” stated Pat Burgess, CEO of Cosmetic Surgery Consultants. “But that is not the case, particularly when the cosmetic surgery patient has not taken the time to thoroughly research information and risks for their particular procedure and to ensure that the medical doctor they have chosen is qualified and experienced.”
Making a decision about cosmetic surgery can be a daunting one, and potential patients need help deciding if cosmetic surgery is right for them. If they do opt for surgery, they seek a guarantee that the surgery is performed in a safe setting. Local plastic surgeon and medical director of La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, R. Merrel Olesen, M.D., and his wife, Marie, have co-authored “Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies[R]”–one of the series of “For Dummies” books by Wiley Publishing. It contains direct and intelligent information about the various cosmetic surgery procedures and treatments available today and serves as a guide for potential cosmetic surgery patients. In a consumer-friendly style, “Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies” helps potential patients define a shopping process, just as they would to buy a car or another significant purchase. It helps patients narrow their choices so they choose the best doctor for themselves and for the procedure they are considering. Additionally helpful, the book includes many stories and photos of actual patients. While surgical results are very important, Dr. Olesen also urges prospective patients to look for signs of warmth and caring in prospective doctors and their staff. “Patients dont want to feel like just another case, rather than a person. They need to find a surgeon they like and trust,” said Dr. Olesen Writing this book involved many of La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre staff. Surgeons Lori Salz, Michael Roark, Robert Kearney and Johan Brahme all contributed significantly to the information about plastic surgery.

The Pictorial Print Division (PPD) serves those who make prints or have their work displayed as prints. Prints may be self-made, commercial, digital, or darkroom printed. If the final copy is a print, then consider what the Pictorial Print Division has to offer. A group of 8-12 photographers make up a Print Study Group. A portfolio of prints is mailed to each member in turn, and the member comments on each print, removes a previous print, inserts a new print, and adds a personal newsletter. The last member sends the portfolio to the “commentator,” an experienced photographer who provides an “expert” opinion on each print. The secretary sets a new schedule and starts the portfolio on the next round. The following are some of the portfolios available: American Portfolio–Approximately 30 portfolios to fit individual needs: color, monochrome, nature, contemporary, commercial, assigned subjects, digital printing, darkroom printing, 8×10, 11×14, etc. Portrait Portfolios–Five Study Groups, including Character Studies, Children, Animals, Figure Studies, and Glamour Girl. The emphasis is on posing, lighting, apparel, and backgrounds. Canadian and European Portfolios–Canadians and Europeans participate with fellow members from their own or neighboring countries. POM is a monthly print competition for all PSA members. Subject matter and printing techniques are “open.” Four classes, two for color and two for monochrome, allow experienced and less experienced photographers to compete on their own levels. Qualified PSA judges critique your prints and provide written comments and suggestions for improvements. Each month 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners receive certificates, and the winning prints are posted on the POM Gallery web pages. A “Picture of the Month” is selected for publication in the PSA Journal. Winners and Honorable Mentions receive “points,” and at the end of the year the member with the most points in each of four categories receives a PPD medal. You may join POM at any time. If you would like to be a POM judge, contact the POM director.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Beautiful Forever, a New York-based medical spa business development company, announced today that its newest project, the medical spa at Miamis Four Season Hotel Towers, exceeded its first month projections - demonstrating that consumers are embracing medical spas with increased enthusiasm. Beautiful Forever helped launch The MIAMI Institute for Age Management Intervention, an advanced surgery center and medical spa dedicated to enhancing personal appearance, health and well being, last month. Julio F. Gallo, M.D., FACS, co-founder, The MIAMI Institute for Age Management Intervention, says, “We are heartened by the outpouring of interest in our new medical spa. Beautiful Forevers research and business development counseling was pivotal to our launch, and no doubt to the huge success we are already experiencing after just opening our doors last month.” Adds Dr. Gallo, “Cheryl has an amazing ability to combine business knowledge, marketing expertise and operational know-how with other aspects of medical and aesthetic treatments. She seems to know what will be hot before it is. She has been an invaluable asset in setting up the aesthetic treatments and office structure of our new comprehensive medical spa and cosmetic surgery center.” Cheryl Whitman, CEO, Beautiful Forever, says, “The medical spa business is an exciting trend, quickly gaining traction across the country. Consumers want more than they can get at the traditional day spa. They want a one-stop beauty destination where they can receive pampering as well as some on trend cosmetic and aesthetic procedures.” Adds Whitman, “Todays increasingly competitive work environment, coupled with the high concentration of baby boomers all vying for the same jobs, makes looking good and feeling good as important as the daily ritual of brushing our teeth. The medical spa business is growing in direct proportion to the needs of the discerning consumer.”

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg is putting himself in a jar. The Woodbury-based plastic surgeon is not performing feats of prestidigitation. And he doesnt advocate going at yourself with a mirror and scalpel, although he has written a how-to book on plastic surgery: “A Little Nip, A Little Tuck: An Insiders Guide to Cosmetic Enhancement” was published two weeks ago, coinciding with the release of Greenbergs new cosmetic products line, “Cosmetic Surgeon in a Jar,” which launches in July. “A Little Nip, A Little Tuck” was written for anyone considering cosmetic surgery, Greenberg said, with information on how to find a surgeon and what questions to ask, and details on almost every cosmetic procedure available. Theres also step-by-step walk- throughs, from pre- to post-op. Chapter titles reveal both the operations discussed and the books breezy style: “The Quest for Cleavage,” “Bringing Up the Rear” and “The Perfect Profile” are among the highlights. But Greenberg, who has been altering appearances for 10 years, is serious about being taken seriously, especially in the “portion of the book about whos a good candidate for surgery and whos not,” the surgeon said.

weight loss tips

Literature-survey service covers more than 400 scientific journals. It provides summaries with full citations and authors addresses plus a listing of reviews in nutrition and clinical nutrition. It is published by Technical Insights.
Repeated evidence shows instruction by a registered dietitian (RD) is an effective weight loss strategy for various populations, different disease conditions, and in multiple settings. To determine how weight loss success due to an RD-led intervention compared with frequent weight monitoring, researchers examined a weight loss program that included RD-led weight-loss classes and frequent weigh-in visits. Investigators evaluated weight loss on a continuous scale based on attendance of both RD-led weight-loss classes and weigh-in visits that did not include RD interaction. They examined the relative strength of each of these factors on weight-loss success in a population recruited from the surrounding community for a hypocaloric weight-loss study. Eight of the participants for the hypocaloric weight loss intervention had type 1 diabetes mellitus, a condition that makes successful, safe weight loss especially difficult. The study subjects were overweight (BMI > 27.0) men (n=10) and women (n=16). At baseline the mean BMI was 33.2 to 3.67 and age was 43+12 years. Subjects with type 1 diabetes had mean baseline hemoglobin Ale (HbAlc) of 7.2% [+ or -] 1.0%. The energy prescription was determined as a 750-kcal deficit from estimated total energy expenditure. Subjects then participated in the 11-week weight-loss phase composed of 33 visits, including 11 weekly 1-hour RD-led weight loss classes and 22 semiweekly non-RD-related weigh-in visits. Weight loss (%) was evaluated on a continuous scale based on percent of RD and non-RD visits attended. Subjects with type 1 diabetes were asked to provide blood glucose records weekly and HbAlc was measured on the fist and last study visits. The 26 subjects completed the weight-loss program with an average weight loss of 3.8 [+ or -] 2.8 kg (P<0.001). There were no significant differences between sex or diabetes status in relation to weight loss, RD visit attendance, or non-RD weigh-in visit attendance. Among the subjects with type 1 diabetes, Hbalc was not statistically significantly different pre- versus post-weight loss. Weight loss (%) was significantly correlated with attendance of RD-led weight loss classes (r=0.451, P=0.021) but not weigh-in visit attendance that did not include RD-led weight loss classes (r=0.329,P=0.101). Frequent dietary instruction by an RD conveying topics related to weight loss was more effective than frequent weigh-in visits alone in promoting weight reduction in this study.

2001 NCAA Mens Tournament Results
This study compares the opinions of mens movements participants of each other. Nineteen profeminist, 17 mens rights, and 18 mythopoetic activists returned surveys. Overall, the respondents had little awareness of each other. The profeminist and mens rights respondents had negative views of each other, while the pro-feminists were more familiar with the mythopoetic mens issues than with mens rights issues. Further, profeminist respondents were split regarding their opinions of the mythopoetic mens movement. Mens rights respondents had lukewarm opinions of the mythopoetic mens movement, and the mythopoetic mens movement participants were not familiar enough with either the profeminist or mens rights mens movements to respond. This study shows that mens movement rhetoric is unreliable in its representation of how mens movement participants view each other. Key Words: mens movements, profeminist mens movement, mens rights advocates, mythopoetic mens movement, masculinities The 20th century witnessed an emergence of several social movements addressing questions of gender definitions and relations. Three such social mens movements–mens rights, mythopoetic, and profeminist mens movements–are of particular interest because they represent various degrees of antifeminist, pro-male, and pro feminist sentiments and constructions of masculinity (Kimmel, 1987). While there has been much rhetoric regarding mens movements opinions of other mens movements in general, little has been written regarding the participants of these various mens movements and their opinions of each other. After a brief overview of each of the mens movements, this study will examine the opinions of mens rights, profeminist, and mythopoetic mens movement participants regarding each other.

BRADENTON, Fla. — GEs Security business (NYSE:GE) today announced it has reached an agreement with Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. (YM) to offer commercial container security services based on the CommerceGuard System. YM will deliver and install CommerceGuard Container Security Devices (CSDs) for customers that want an improved container security and tracking method. YMs first CommerceGuard customer is a global manufacturer that will monitor shipments from Taiwan to Southeast Asia. The CommerceGuard System provides both shipment security and visibility throughout the supply chain. YM offers the CommerceGuard System to its customers by distributing CSDs and providing full logistics for the CommerceGuard solution. CommerceGuard features a CSD that attaches to the inside of an international cargo container and registers openings of the container door. In addition, CommerceGuard provides container visibility at key choke points in the supply chain. Fixed and handheld readers record the status of the CSD in a database that can be accessed by authorized shippers, logistics providers, and government officials anywhere in the world. Various ports around the world have installed CommerceGuard Systems for use among major shippers; including terminals in Asia, US, Europe and Latin America. “YMs deployment of CommerceGuard demonstrates the extended commercial value and security benefits of our CSD system. Shippers benefit from knowing when their goods are progressing through the supply chain; and they enjoy the assurance of knowing those shipments are secure. These are valuable services that carriers like Yang Ming can offer to their customers,” said Randy Koch, General Manager of GE Securitys Cargo Security and CommerceGuard AB.

Business Editors HomeBase, Inc. (NYSE:HBI) Tuesday announced it will debut its new radio broadcast campaign on June 7, for both the general market and the hispanic market, according to Ginger Sherman Silverman, vice president of marketing and advertising. This campaign incorporates the longest and largest amount of radio airtime HomeBase has ever purchased. The general market campaign will begin with three 60-second spots that will introduce a new character, “HomeBase Guy.” “HomeBase Guy” finds himself in unique situations, which require a home improvement expert. The humorous spots center on common home maintenance projects, targeting casual and serious do-it-yourselfers with the message that HomeBase can turn home improvement projects into success stories.
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 29, 1996–When it comes to appropriate insurance coverage, most home-based businesses flunk out.However, with HomeWork, these businesses have a shot at bringing their insurance grade up.Available through the CNA Insurance Companies, HomeWork expands homeowners coverage for risks inherent to home-based businesses. Sold as an endorsement to CNAs Universal Security Policy (USP), HomeWork is already approved in 22 states.Lisa Pechan, product consultant of Personal Lines at CNA, said home-based business owners do not know the gap in coverage they have until there is a claim. Their biggest threats are risks involving on-premises and off-premises liability.”What happens, for example, if a client coming into the home trips on a toy? Unless his or her homeowners policy is specially endorsed, the injury isnt going to be covered. When business is done outside the home-based office, most current homeowners policies cant be endorsed to cover this activity. When off-premises, there is a risk that the owner could hurt someone or something. HomeWork covers these types of situations,” she said.

Traffic to Dieting Websites up 32% Compared to Previous Year NEW YORK — With the New Year upon us, many Americans have turned to the Internet to help with the New Years resolution of losing weight. According to Hitwise, the worlds leading competitive intelligence service, the most searched for diet was the Hallelujah Diet for the week ending Dec. 29, 2007. Other top 10 searches that contained the term diet for last week, included popular diets such as the South Beach Diet and the Diabetic Diet (see chart on right).

ABSTRACT The article examines the degree of institutionalization of the Guatemalan party universe across four areas: the pattern of interparty competition; the rootedness of parties in society; the legitimacy accorded to parties and democratic institutions; and the nature of internal party organization. Guatemala displays an extremely inchoate party structure across all these variables. There is no stability in the identity of the main parties in the polity. After more than two decades of electoral democracy, no single party has been able to avert a drift into electoral irrelevance or outright disappearance. With respect to the basic facets of internal party organization, Guatemalan parties exhibit a feebleness so pronounced that their very status as parties is questionable. In general, Guatemalan “parties” only fulfill Sartoris minimalist definition as organizations that field candidates for public office, but offer nothing more substantive. The obstacles to building a well-functioning liberal democracy in Guatemala are many and often acknowledged: the legacy of an overbearing military stemming from the “counterinsurgency state,” an inordinate degree of income inequality and poverty, and a large indigenous population that is fundamentally absent from political life, among others (Jonas 1991; Poitevin 1999). But the legacy of the countrys wretched past also includes another crucial element that often goes unmentioned: the peculiar nature of its party universe and its parties. This essay qualitatively assesses the degree of institutionalization of the Guatemalan party system. The variables used for this task are those conceptualized by Mainwaring and Scully (1995) in their pioneering work: the pattern of interparty competition, the rootedness of parties in society, the legitimacy accorded to parties and democratic institutions, and the nature of internal party organization. While these components of institutionalization can surely be correlated with one another, empirically speaking, party systems do not necessarily exhibit uniformity across these variables; that is, they may be hybrid and underinstitutionalized in some respects while adequately institutionalized in others. This article will show that the Guatemalan party universe is exceptionally inchoate across all the aforementioned four elements. Comparative studies of Latin American party systems have usually ignored Guatemala, not least because of the marginal role that parties in this country play in the political process. This study seeks to fill this gap and provide a case study of underinstitutionalization virtually without parallel in the region.

Computing is one of the largest and fastest changing of all magazine sectors and is divided into sub-sectors where cover ranges from the internet to gaming consoles and personal computers. The personal computing market itself is further divided by the Audit Bureau of Circulation into Computing Miscellaneous; Computing PC Business; Computing PC Games and Computing PC Leisure. Jamie Malley, circulation manager at Future Publishings Computing Division, says that with the high cover prices of many computing titles–up to 6 [pounds sterling]–it can be a strong category for retailers even if sales fail to rival those of a few years ago. “Many retailers find that by rationalising their range down to fewer titles, but concentrating on the better quality titles, their revenues grow,” he says, but added: “Although the PC sector has seen some significant drops in sales over the past 12-18 months, there are indications that it is recovering”.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — First System to Link Business Policy Objectives Directly to Technical Checks to Automate Security Compliance Reporting Preventsys Inc., the leader in security risk management and automated security compliance reporting, today launched the Preventsys Security Risk Management system to provide security professionals and executives with unprecedented visibility into their organizations IT risk and compliance profile. Available immediately, the new system is comprised of the Preventsys Security Risk Manager and the Preventsys Automated Security Compliance Reporter, two separate applications that reduce costs, manage IT security risks and automate reporting on compliance to published security standards and custom business policies. IT Security Risk Management (SRM) is defined as the complete process of understanding threats, prioritizing vulnerabilities, limiting damage from potential attacks, and understanding the impact of proposed changes or patches on the target systems. According to IDC estimates, the IT SRM market is expected to grow from $328 million in 2005 to $500 million in 2007. The new Preventsys Security Risk Manager consolidates vulnerability, configuration and threat data with its RiskScore(TM) Engine into a prioritized list of critical remediation tasks. This reduces the amount of data security professionals need to analyze by up to 98%, making it easy to identify the top 2% of risks for remediation. According to a Gartner research report entitled, Sarbanes Oxley Spending Continues to Disrupt Software Purchases by Tom Eid, Joanne M. Correia, and French Caldwell, “through 2007, companies that choose one-off solutions for each regulatory challenge they face will spend 10 times more on IT solutions for compliance than their counterparts that take a sustainable program-office-based approach. Sustainable compliance, that is, a level of effort that is sufficient but not excessive, will only be achieved by consolidating compliance efforts through a programmatic rather than project oriented approach.”
System security measures should be a primary focus in developing a new accounting information system (AIS). The viability of security measures depends upon informed and constant monitoring of the system; unfortunately, it is often neglected. Key components of systems security include passwords, firewalls, data encryption, employee participation, and protection from computer viruses. In January 2000, the AICPA published its annual list of top 10 technology issues. The systems security topics of information security and controls, disaster recovery, and high availability and resiliency of systems all made the top five. Barriers to developing systems security are both financial and philosophical. Systems security is often viewed in a manner similar to physical security: Buy it once and use it forever. Unfortunately, like physical security, obsolete policies, procedures, and technologies leave systems extremely vulnerable to external and internal attacks. Most stakeholders find it difficult to accept the need for constant spending on systems security when it is difficult to quantify the benefits. Even when benefits can be quantified, unenlightened stakeholders may still question the need for continuous spending in the systems security area. In many cases, education can overcome this philosophical barrier. Unfortunately, often only severe losses from a security breakdown will prompt appropriate, albeit late, action.

Executive Summary. Surveys of real estate research priorities for real estate fund managers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany over 2000-03 are examined. Thirty-nine real estate research priorities are assessed, with much closer alignment for real estate research priorities in the U.K., Germany and Australia than seen for the U.S. The role of real estate in a mixed-asset portfolio and real estate and portfolio risk management figure prominently amongst the general real estate research priorities. The top specific real estate research priorities were the impact of capital flows, real estate cycles and real estate portfolio diversification. The underlying general real estate research priorities “dimensions” highlight the strategic issues involved in real estate research, particularly the changing real estate environment, strategic real estate issues and the role of real estate in the portfolio.Real estate research has taken on increased importance in recent years in the international arena. The establishment of the regional real estate societies (particularly ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES) and their annual conferences have been key catalysts to this expanded real estate research agenda, with much of this research having a strong real estate industry focus. As such, general real estate research areas have been identified by leading real estate academics in the United States and the United Kingdom (Lusht, 1993; Webb, 1997; Jaffe, 1998; Crosby, 2000; Worzala, 2002; and Adair, Crosby, Lim and Watkins, 2003), as well as by leading U.S. and Australian real estate practitioners (Winograd, 1999; Souza, 2000; Parker, 2001; and Steinert and Crowe, 2001).To more fully assess the real estate research directions and priorities for U.S. institutional investors, extensive real estate industry surveys have been funded by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) in 1992 (Ziering and Worzala, 1997) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) in 2000 (Worzala, Gilliland and Gordon, 2002), with Newell, Acheampong and Worzala (2002) conducting an equivalent real estate research priorities survey for Australia in 2001. In 2003, equivalent real estate research priority surveys have been conducted in the U.K. (Newell, McAllister and Worzala, 2003) and Germany (Schulte, Newell and Worzala, 2003).Given these significant international real estate research developments, the purpose of this research is to compare the results of these four recent major international real estate surveys to examine the real estate research priorities of real estate fund managers in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Germany. Identification of these real estate research priorities will enable the more effective development of a real estate research agenda for real estate researchers in ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES, as well as for the emerging real estate societies of AfRES and LaRES.
