Jana has prevailed in the search for a different type of birthday party! Happy Birthday Aden!! I had never even heard of a Tumblebus but it was really cool. All of the seats were removed (except the driver’s) and the walls and floor were padded, with a slide, rings, a climbing wall, a mini trampoline, a balance beam, and a zip line. They somehow managed to play parachute games in the bus, and they also did the limbo. The kids loved it!

Woman Aims For Breast Implant Record
Did you know breast implants were developed in Houston nearly fifty years ago?
The popularity of breast implants keeps on growing, while they’re certainly not for everyone.
The National Cancer Institute is conducting a study to determine the long-term health effects associated with silicone breast implants, including any changes in breast cancer risk.
We met up with 28-year-old Sheyla Hershey during a recent photo shoot. She’s a famous model and actress in Brazil. She says breast implants have given her a high self esteem for the first time in her life.
“I want to look better each day. Everyday. Everybody’s got their dream inside. It’s good when you can make you dream come true,” Hershey said.
Eight years ago Sheyla weighed close to 200 pounds.
“I wasn’t happy the way I used to look. That really depressed me.”
Her whole life she wanted to be like country music star Dolly Parton.
“I was 9 years old and she was on TV on a concert in England. She was singing and I saw a beautiful angel.”
Then she took it to the extreme. Her goal was to make history with the largest breasts. Now she’s done that in country’s version of the Guinness Book Of World Records with size 34 triple F.
“It’s kind of serious. My doctor he says he don’t want to operate on me no more. Because in 5 years I’ve changed 8 times.”
Sheyla’s implants are filled with a thousand CCs or two quarts of silicone.
Local plastic surgeon Dr Joseph Perlman says most of his patients choose less than half that size. The average woman is probably a 3-400 CC implant.
“Well, a lot of doctors say I might have a huge problems with back pain but so far I’ve never had any problems so I might do have in the future,” she says.
Dr Perlman says the worst problem women face with large implants is back and shoulder pain.
“The other problems that can happen with a breast implant is you’re putting a piece of foreign material in your body and your body naturally forms a barrier around it. Just the same as it forms scar tissue around a splinter or scar tissue around a hip implant or a heart valve.”
From Dr Perlman’s experience, patients who choose larger implants tend to have more problems with that scar tissue and often have to go back to the operating room to have it removed.
Breast augmentation is certainly gaining popularity. The industry has skyrocketed 900% the past 15 years. In 1992 an estimated 32,000 woman in the US received breast implants. By 2002 that number jumped to 225,000. By 2007 it reached almost 350,000. While silicone implants were taken off the market because of possible health risks, the FDA re-approved them last year.
Sheyla feels better than ever about herself but others don’t see it her way.
“I just don’t like people to look at me and laugh at me.”

Parents Party in Parking Lot During Saline High School Prom
The Associated Press • May 9, 2008
PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP — Authorities say a group of parents rented a bus to take their kids to Saline High School’s junior-senior prom, then got on board and drank beer in the parking lot.
Officials at the school in Washtenaw County’s Pittsfield Township say about 15 parents were joined by other adults Saturday. Deputy Director Elizabeth McGuire of the township police says they could face misdemeanor charges of consuming alcohol on school grounds.
Superintendent Scot Graden tells The Ann Arbor News the parents were discovered after a student was caught at the prom with alcohol. He says the student was on the bus at some point during the evening, but won’t say if that’s where the student got his alcohol.Graden says there’s no evidence that any of the students who took the bus knew the parents were going to drink.

I’m Famous!!!
The other day I was at Aliya’s school and a tiny kindergartner (too young to be sarcastic) excitedly yelled, “HEY!!! I saw you on TV!!!” The video that I was in for the introduction to the Two-Way program was shown on Framingham public access. I said, “I KNOW!!! I’m famous, huh??” She thought about it for a second and said, “Well, not that much.” I guess I may not be the next Hannah Montana after all.
On another note, the same day while I was at school, the curriculum director told me that the principal wants Aliya and I to come to orientation for incoming kindergartners. They want Aliya to speak in front of the PARENTS!!! She’s excited to do it and I think it will be great for the parents because I remember sitting there last year wondering if we had made the right choice. I hope Aliya’s abilities will reassure them somewhat. A 5th grade teacher at her school told me that the Spanish they’re hearing from her is similar to what they used to hear in 5th grade before they changed the model this year. Amazing!
