Reference: Ann Intern Med 2014;161:67
Pelvic examination is a common part of annual health visits for women as a screening method for cancer and infections. A new evidence-based clinical practice guideline by the American College of Physicians (ACP) found that the harms outweigh the potential benefits, and recommends strongly against screening pelvic examinations in asymptomatic nonpregnant adult women.
The guideline included a systematic review of English-language studies published from 1946 to 2014 to determine the best current evidence for the diagnostic accuracy, benefits, and harms of the screening pelvic examination for detection of cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, or other benign gynecologic conditions. For cancer detection, across 3 cohort studies with 5,633 asymptomatic women, only 4 cases of ovarian cancer were detected by pelvic examination. And in a randomized trial evaluating screening for ovarian cancer with transvaginal ultrasonography and CA-125 in 78,000 women, the bimanual pelvic examination was dropped after 5 years because no cancer was detected solely by this examination. The ACP is clear in distinguishing the pelvic exam from cervical cancer screening using visual inspection and swabs for cervical cytology, and cervical cancer screening can be completed without a bimanual pelvic examination.
No studies were identified that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy or benefits of pelvic examination for asymptomatic pelvic inflammatory disease, benign conditions, or gynecologic cancer other than cervical or ovarian cancer. Harms identified for the pelvic examination included pain or discomfort reported by 11%-60% in 8 studies with 4,576 women, and fear, embarrassment, or anxiety reported in 10%-80% in 7 studies with 10,702 women. Women experiencing pain or discomfort during their examination were less likely to have a return visit than those not experiencing pain or discomfort in 5 of 5 studies reporting this outcome.
Many aspects of routine care are based on established practice, and have not been subject to rigorous assessment or review. For cancer in particular, there has been a focus in mainstream health messaging that early detection is vital, and many people may not understand that screening carries potential harms that must be weighed against the proposed benefits and may not understand that some of our "standard approaches" can have little or no efficacy for providing early detection that leads to clinical benefit. This is the first evidence-based guideline evaluating screening pelvic examination in this patient population, and the recommendation against this practice will have an important impact on annual wellness visits for a very large number of women.

Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Does Not Improve Symptoms of Degenerative Medial Meniscus Tear in Patients Without Knee Osteoarthritis
Reference:N Engl J Med 2013 Dec 26;369(26):2515 (level 1 [likely reliable] evidence)
Arthroscopic surgeries for patients with established knee osteoarthritis are becoming less common due to a lack of clinical evidence supporting their use. A Cochrane review found that arthroscopic surgery is ineffective for unselected patients with knee osteoarthritis (Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2008 Jan 23;(1):CD005118), based partly on the findings of a randomized trial showing no significant improvement in pain or function scores with either arthroscopic debridement or arthroscopic lavage compared to placebo surgery (N Engl J Med 2002 Jul 11;347(2):81 full-text). Another randomized trial subsequently showed that the addition of arthroscopic surgery to physical and medical therapies did not improve function or pain scores in patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis (N Engl J Med 2008 Sep 11;359(11):1097 full-text). More recently, a randomized trial in patients with meniscal tear and knee osteoarthritis showed that arthroscopic partial meniscectomy plus physical therapy did not improve symptoms more than physical therapy alone (N Engl J Med 2013 May 2;368(18):1675 full-text, see DynaMed EBM Focus Volume 8, Issue 13).
However, the implications for patients without clearly established knee osteoarthritis have remained unclear. A recent randomized trial comparing meniscectomy to strengthening exercises in patients presenting with degenerative medial meniscus tear and no clear evidence of osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0-1) found no significant between-group differences in function, pain, or patient satisfaction scores (Am J Sports Med 2013 Jul;41(7):1565). Now, a randomized trial compares arthroscopic partial meniscectomy to sham surgery in patients with medial meniscus tear without knee osteoarthritis.
A total of 146 patients aged 35-65 years with symptomatic degenerative medial meniscus tear without knee osteoarthritis were randomized to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy vs. sham surgery and followed for 12 months. Postoperative care, including walking aids and instructions for graduated exercises, was identical for both groups, and all patients were instructed to take over-the-counter analgesics as required. Symptoms were assessed using the Lysholm and Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) scores, which both range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less severe symptoms. Knee pain was assessed after exercise using a numeric rating scale with a range of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain severity.
Both groups had a significant improvement from baseline in symptom and knee pain scores, but there were no significant between-group differences for these outcomes at 12 months. The mean improvement in the Lysholm score was 21.7 points with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy group vs. 23.3 points with sham surgery, with a difference of 11.5 points considered clinically meaningful. Similarly, the mean improvement in the WOMET score was 24.6 points with partial meniscectomy vs. 27.1 points with sham surgery, with a difference of 15.5 points considered clinically meaningful. The mean improvement in knee pain was 3.1 points with partial meniscectomy vs. 3.3 points with sham surgery, with a difference of 2 points considered clinically meaningful. There were also no significant differences in the rate of subsequent knee surgery, patient-reported satisfaction, patient-reported improvement, or serious adverse events.
Recent clinical evidence from randomized trials has consistently shown a lack of efficacy of arthroscopic surgeries for patients with knee osteoarthritis, including patients with meniscus tears. This trial extends those findings to patients with meniscus tears but without established knee osteoarthritis, showing no significant difference in symptom or pain scores between patients receiving arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and those receiving sham surgery. It should be noted that the Lysholm and WOMET scores used in this trial for symptom assessment are primarily focused on basic activities of daily living, and may not adequately describe high-level function as may be required for strenuous work or sports.

Maternal Vaccination Decreases Risk of Influenza in Mothers and Their Infants
Reference: N Engl J Med 2014 Sep 4;371(10):918
for women without HIV infection (level 1 [likely reliable] evidence)
for women with HIV infection (level 2 [mid-level] evidence)
Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe influenza from their second trimester until the early postpartum period, and are considered a priority group for receiving seasonal influenza vaccine by the World Health Organization (Weekly Epidemiological Record PDF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (MMWR Recomm Rep 2013 Sep 20;62(RR-07):1 full-text). However, data on the efficacy of influenza vaccination in this population is limited, particularly data showing a protective effect on infants after birth. Two recent randomized trials from South Africa evaluated the efficacy of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccination in 2,116 pregnant women not infected with HIV, in 194 pregnant women with HIV infection, and in their newborns up to 24 weeks after birth.
In pregnant women without HIV infection, the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza was 1.8% with influenza vaccine vs. 3.6% with placebo (p = 0.01). Similarly, among infants born to vaccinated mothers, confirmed influenza infection rates were 1.9% with influenza vaccine vs. 3.6% with placebo (p = 0.01). In pregnant women infected with HIV, the rates of laboratory-confirmed influenza with vaccine vs. placebo were 7% vs. 17% (p = 0.05) in mothers and 5% vs. 6.8% among their infants (not significant). There were no significant differences between the influenza group and the placebo group for rates of nonspecific influenza-like illness or for respiratory illnesses in general, irrespective of HIV infection status.
The protective effect of inactivated influenza vaccine for infants of vaccinated mothers observed in these new trials is consistent with a previous trial conducted in Bangladesh. This previous trial of 340 women found that a similar maternal vaccination reduced laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in infants followed for 24 weeks compared to maternal vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine (N Engl J Med 2008 Oct 9;359(15):1555). This newer and larger trial further solidifies this protective effect in mothers without HIV infection and their infants. It also suggests benefit for HIV-infected mothers as well, a population that may be particularly vulnerable to infection.

Bilateral Mastectomy May Not Increase Survival Compared to Breast-Conserving Surgery With Radiation in Women With Unilateral Breast Cancer
Reference: JAMA 2014 Sep 3;312(9):902 (level 2 [mid-level] evidence)
Bilateral mastectomy rates have been on the rise among women with early breast cancer in recent years (J Clin Oncol 2009 Sep 1;27(25):4-82, J Clin Oncol 2011 Jun 1;29(16):2158). However, while bilateral mastectomy has been shown to reduce the incidence of breast cancer in women at increased risk (Ann Oncol 2013 Aug;24(8):2029 full-text), the evidence is inconsistent for bilateral mastectomy as a treatment in women with unilateral breast cancer (Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2010 Nov 10;(11):CD002748). Furthermore, no randomized trials have been performed comparing bilateral mastectomy vs. breast-conserving surgery plus radiation. Many women with breast cancer have a preference for bilateral mastectomy based on its perceived benefits, and may object to randomization to less extensive surgery, making it difficult to conduct randomized trials for this particular comparison. A new population-based cohort study evaluated bilateral mastectomy, unilateral mastectomy, and breast-conserving surgery with radiation in 189,734 women with early (stage 0-III) unilateral breast cancer using data collected from 1998 to 2011 in the California Cancer Registry.
A total of 6.2% of women had bilateral mastectomy, 38.8% had unilateral mastectomy, and 55% had breast-conserving surgery with radiation. The overall rate of bilateral mastectomy increased during the study, ranging from 2% in 1998 to 12.3% in 2011. Factors most significantly associated with increased rate of bilateral mastectomy vs. breast-conserving surgery with radiation included age
< 50 years, positive lymph node status, and lobular histology. However, data on other relevant information that may have influenced a treatment decision (such as magnetic resonance imaging or BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation status) were not available from the registry.
There were no significant differences in the all-cause or breast cancer-specific mortality comparing bilateral mastectomy vs. breast-conserving surgery with radiation. Both approaches were associated with small but significant reductions in mortality compared to unilateral mastectomy. Estimated 10-year all-cause mortality was 16.8% with breast-conserving surgery with radiation, 18.8% with bilateral mastectomy, and 20.1% with unilateral mastectomy.
This study supports the use of breast-conserving surgery with radiation as the first line of treatment for women with early stage unilateral breast cancer. However, the lack of information on potential confounders, such as magnetic resonance imaging or gene mutation results, detailed patient history, and physician recommendations limit the ability to make definitive conclusions from the current data.

In Adults With Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformation, Interventional Therapy Appears to Worsen Outcomes Compared to Medical Management
Reference: Lancet 2014 Feb 15;383(9917):614 (level 2 [mid-level] evidence)
With the increased use of noninvasive neuroimaging, there has been an increase in the detection of brain arteriovenous malformations prior to symptomatic bleeding, but there is currently no clear consensus for the management of these lesions. Patients diagnosed with unruptured or asymptomatic arteriovenous malformations may be managed conservatively or, alternatively, they may be offered interventional therapy with the aim of obliterating the origin of the arteriovenous malformation. Several interventional therapies, including neurosurgery, embolization, and stereotactic radiotherapy have been used successfully in these patients, but there is little clinical evidence to guide the choice of interventional therapy, or to demonstrate its superiority over conservative management. A prospective population-based cohort study in Scotland previously showed that patients receiving interventional therapy for arteriovenous malformation had worse outcomes than those who did not (Lancet Neurol 2008 Mar;7(3):223). Now, a randomized trial compares the addition of interventional therapy to medical management vs. medical management alone in adults with unruptured arteriovenous malformation.
A total of 226 adults (mean age 45 years) with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformation were randomized to medical management alone vs. medical management plus interventional therapy. Patients, clinicians, and investigators were aware of treatment assignment. Medical management consisted of pharmacologic therapy for existing medical disorders (such as seizures or headaches) or any coexisting vascular risk factors (such as diabetes or arterial hypertension), as needed. Patients randomized to interventional therapy additionally received neurosurgery, embolization, or stereotactic radiotherapy, either alone or in combination, at the discretion of the local trial investigator. Patients with evidence of recent or prior hemorrhage, or who had received previous interventional therapy for brain arteriovenous malformation, were excluded from the trial. The goal of the interventional therapy was complete eradication of the arteriovenous malformation. The primary outcome was a composite of symptomatic stroke or death.
The trial was stopped early by an independent data and safety monitoring board, due to superiority of medical management alone based on a prespecified stopping value for the primary outcome. The interim analysis included 223 patients (99% of those randomized) with a median follow-up of 33 months. Symptomatic stroke or death occurred in 10% of those receiving medical management alone vs. 31% of those receiving interventional therapy plus medical management (p < 0.05, NNT 5). The incidence of stroke was 11% with medical management alone vs. 39% with interventional therapy plus medical management (p < 0.0001, NNT 4). In addition, neurologic deficits unrelated to stroke occurred in 0.9% of those treated with medical management alone vs. 12% of those treated with interventional therapy plus medical management (p = 0.0008, NNT 9).
The results of this trial extend previous findings from an observational study, and further support the conclusion that current interventional therapies for unruptured arteriovenous malformations do not improve cerebrovascular outcomes. However, arteriovenous malformations are associated with a long natural history, and the median follow-up of 33 months included in this trial limits the ability to make conclusions about long-term effectiveness. In addition, by not including patients who had received previous interventional therapy for brain arteriovenous malformation, patients with a more aggressive disease course may have been excluded, and this may therefore limit the generalizability of the findings.

On Cozzi Cove at the New Jersey Shore, handsome Cal Cozzi's seven bungalows are once again open for summer and love. The vacationers include Rodney Maxwell and Dennis O'Halloran, a Tony Award winning actor and his estranged producer/husband with their two hired studs, Jarek and Zeus. Computer analyst Sam enlists his best friend Chase in a scheme to attract hunky Raul. Middle aged Gil Van Truren wants to end it all—until he sees a vision of his first love. Cal also has his hands full with college student Michael—his new young lover—Michael's study buddy Carlo, man of mystery George Valis, and Connor, the houseboy packed with muscles and a wondering sponge. All the while Hunter, a female gay romance novel enthusiast, experiences gay life off the page. What secrets, humor, tragedy, mysteries, and passions lie in the magical place called Cozzi Cove?
Another great book from Joe Cosentino. This series is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine. A year on from book one of the Cozzi Cove series, book two begins with the start of another summer season at Cal Cozzi's gay-friendly bungalows. A new group of guests, with their troubles and secrets, arrive for the Cove to work its magic on.
The first guest to arrive is George, bungalow seven, who was born in Cozzi Cove. He's newly single, returning in search of answers and with a big secret. Cal feels oddly at ease and attracted to George but not in a sexual way. Why is that and why does Cal feel the need to drag his sister, Taylor, back to the Cove as a result? Cal's young boyfriend Michael has a new study partner, Carlos, and Cal's jealous, but Michael is also jealous of the obvious attraction and friendship between Cal and George.
The next guests are Sam and Chase and their 'straight' friend Raul, bungalow five, but are Sam and Chase really together? Sam has a crush on Raul and is convinced he's gay, but he also has a plan for him. Next is a straight woman, Hunter, bungalow six, who forms an instant bond with the 'maid', Connor when she tells him she's an avid reader of gay romance and wants to meet, and be friends with, gay men like those in the books she loves to read. Then she meets Raul on the beach and assumes he's gay. Will Raul and Hunter be honest with each other? Next, comes Jarek and his older boyfriend, actor Rodney, who are in bungalow one but they're followed closely by Rodney's ex Dennis, also his producer, and Zeus, an escort, who Dennis 'met online'. They're in bungalow two. But why are they here at the same resort? Arriving late is Gil, bungalow four, acting strangely. Gil has a tragic past and sees no future for himself, but his life is turned around by the couple staying in bungalow three and some memories from his past.
As with book one, book two contains an interwoven set of awesome, emotional and often funny tales about the guests and residents of Cozzi Cove. All the characters need the magic that Cozzi Cove weaves around people's lives and its healing touch, but will they all get what they need? By the time the guests are ready to check out at the end of the week, everything will have changed for them and for some of the residents too. As with book one, I became deeply immersed in these stories and didn't want the book to end so thank goodness there's a book three!
***I would like to thank the author for the privilege and opportunity of reading this ARC. My review is an honest opinion of the book***

I'm sharing a sweet treat that I found on an old card in my recipe box. I honestly don't remember ever making it but I must have because there are notations on the card about the baking time. It was fun to see the layers come together and after the first bite I knew I would be making this again! One of the ingredients for the middle mint layer was Creme DeMenthe. I didn't have any and looked at my grocery store to see if I could easily find some. They didn't carry it so I figured out a substitution. I don't want to list an ingredient that is a pain in the neck to get. So…in place of the Creme DeMenthe I used peppermint extract, a little green food coloring and milk. Worked like a charm!
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/2 c. butter softened
- 4 eggs
- 16 oz. can chocolate syrup
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1 c. Flour
- 2 c. Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 c. butter softened
- 1 t. peppermint extract
- 2-3 drops green food coloring
- 1 - 2 T. Milk
- 6 T. butter
- 6 oz. package chocolate chips
Brownie layer
Mint Layer
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions.
- Add syrup, salt and flour.
- Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 min.
- Cool.
- Mix all ingredients for the mint layer and spread onto cooled brownies.
- Put 6 T. butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.
- Cook in microwave on high for 1 min.
- Stir well until it is melted and combined. Cool slightly.
- Spread over mint layer.
- May be refrigerated and served cold.
If you happen to have some Creme DeMenthe hanging around I think it would be really good in the mint layer. The original recipe called for 2 T. Also, if you want the mint layer a darker green, simply add more food coloring. I didn't have any candy canes but I think it would be yummy to crush some up and sprinkle on top of the frosting. Very festive indeed.
I'll be back tomorrow night with my monthly printable group. I went all out this time. I printed, framed and hung my printables. I was actually shocked at the way the project all came together. I had serious doubts along the way! In fact, at one point I almost gave up and started over in a completely different direction. Now I'm glad I didn't.

Characteristics of sap trees used by yellow-bellied gliders in southern Queensland

Publication details
Eyre, TJ & Goldingay, RL 2005, 'Characteristics of sap trees used by yellow-bellied gliders in southern Queensland', Wildlife Research, vol. 32, no. 1, pp. 23-35.
The publisher's version of this article is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/WR03075
Peer Reviewed
An extensive survey was conducted to locate sap trees used by the yellow-bellied glider (Petaurus australis) throughout the forests and woodlands of southern Queensland, across an area of 43.7 million hectares. We recorded the characteristics of 478 sap trees located at 109 of 297 sites surveyed. Only 13 tree species were selected by gliders for sap feeding throughout the study region, with the grey gum species Eucalyptus longirostrata and E. biturbinata most likely to be incised for sap. Of the tree species used for sap feeding by gliders, trees >40 cm in diameter at breast height (DBH) were used more than would be expected on the basis of their abundance in the forest. The number of sap trees with active and recently active feed scars at a site ranged from 0 to 12. Factors that appear to influence the abundance of active and recently active sap trees at a site include intensity of disturbance (basal area of cut stumps and dead trees), the number of stems in the 41-60 and 61-80 cm DBH classes, and number of Myrtaceae species. The response to these variables could be indicative of habitat quality, and the availability of alternative foraging substrates such as flower cover and decorticating bark. Intensification of selective logging in south-east Queensland, as an outcome of the Southeast Queensland Regional Forest Agreement, could potentially marginalise glider habitat. This would necessitate the retention of potential, or 'recruit', sap trees to maintain yellow-bellied glider habitat in these areas. © CSIRO 2005.

Resetting the standards for SCADA
Four years ago, Paul Hurst set out to redefine industrial control in the UK by launching a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) package that was twice as good and half the price of other systems then available. We ask him if he succeeded…
Back in 2010, Movicon II was the only SCADA/HMI platform completely based on XML and Web Services technologies, from Windows Vista™ to Windows CE™ and Windows 7. This, says Paul Hurst, managing director of Products for Automation (P4A), gave it supreme openness and flexibility – which in turn made it applicable to any sector in the world of automation.
Five years down the line his conviction has been borne out: "From food and pharmaceuticals to power and utilities, it has proved to be a huge hit in just about every industry," he says.
"Historically, SCADA was more expensive in the UK than elsewhere, with restricted licences, high development costs and annual system integrator fees. Users were crying out for change and I realised that Movicon could facilitate that."
It could offer users SCADA systems with all the functionality, scalability, connectivity – and more – of their existing systems, but at a price on average 50% less that they were currently paying. Furthermore there are unlimited free development licences for users and system integrators, so the ongoing cost of ownership is much reduced.
Movicon's XML foundation still sets it apart and offers an all-in-one development environment for managing HMI, SCADA and statistical production data analysis and reporting applications. It's powerful, open, flexible, easy to maintain and user-friendly tools help cut initial development time and make later maintenance easier; while its scalability means it is suitable for all applications from micro sized to fully integrated manufacturing plants.
For total openness and easy data access and transparency Movicon combines XML, ODBC, OPC, VBA, SOAP, Web Services, TCP-IP and SQL technologies. A 128-bit coding algorithm can be used to encrypt applications for maximum data security, while a user password manager guarantees access security by level and/or area.
Hurst says that in use Movicon has proven easy to integrate, due to its comprehensive connectivity and networking options. Functions that aid integration include an automatic tag importer, remote connectivity via modem, multi-station point-to-point protocols, bridge for teleservices in PLCs and immediate cable testing.
"The power of Movicon's networking means that a project can be server and client indifferent," he explains. "This allows projects to be distributed and run locally, yet to reside on the central server."
Increasingly important in the market, Movicon can be networked to business systems to provide shopfloor- to-topfloor integration and to the internet for multi-site communications.
Movicon hit the UK market with a previously unseen combination of great graphics, up-to-date coding, and a library of feature modules included free of charge, yet its pricing was more than competitive with existing technologies. So how would Hurst sum up its acceptance?
"The more people we can show this product to, the more customers we have for it!" he says. "The combination of ease of use, a feature-rich standard package and drama-free set-up makes a mockery of some other costly and clunky alternatives.
"And now I am excited to report that there are exciting new developments almost ready for launch…"

Upcoming adult comedy "Great Grand Masti", also called "Masti 3", is facing a few hurdles as the censor board has reportedly refused to certify the movie. According to a report in Spotboye, the censor board has denied certification to "Great Grand Masti" due to alleged vulgarity in the film.
"There is a lot of vulgarity in 'Great Grand Masti', which is the only reason why we didn't certify it," the report quoted a source from the examining committee of the board.
Director Indra Kumar will now have to approach the Revising Committee to get the clearance, the report added. The film was supposed to be released this year. "Great Grand Masti" is the third instalment of "Masti" franchise. The previous two parts, "Masti" and "Grand Masti", starring Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, did decent business at the box office, but also received negative response for its high quotient of adult humour.
"Great Grand Masti" includes the same cast, but is rumoured to be even more explicit in terms of adult comedy. Meanwhile, another adult comedy "Mastizaade" is ready to hit the screens on 29 January. The film features Sunny Leone, Vir Das and Tusshar Kapoor. Directed by Milap Zaveri, "Mastizaade" has been receiving positive response ever since the film's trailer was released.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Liposuction and Cool Sculpting ®? Our team from Victoria's Cosmedi Spa in Launceston and only a few hours from Hobart have the answer.
As we discussed in our article "How to get your body bikini ready for summer" the unfortunate consequences of hibernating under the duvet for the winter are often visibly bulging from a number of areas on your body.
Cool Sculpting ® from Victoria's Cosmedi Spa in Launceston offers an alternative to liposuction that can reduce your fat bulges without surgery, but what else sets liposuction and Cool Sculpting ® apart?
Cool Sculpting ® Vs Liposuction: weighing up the pros and cons
Although both treatments are capable of achieving results, Cool Sculpting® and Liposuction treatments differ considerably in everything from the procedure to the recovery. Liposuction has long been a treatment of choice for thousands of patients looking to reduce unwanted fat pockets from their body. Cool Sculpting®, on the other hand, is a more recently established procedure and many people are still unclear about how it differs from traditional liposuction.
Cool Sculpting ®
- No downtime involved – you can resume your regular activities immediately
- Eliminates 20% of the fat within the treated area in a single treatment
- It is a non-invasive treatment – no surgery or needles required
- The treatment removes the fat cells from the body completely
- CoolSculpting is generally cheaper than liposuction
- As it is non-surgical, the risks involved are minimal
- The fat cells are the only cells that are affected
- Treatment only takes 1 hour per area treated
- Results are not immediate – some will be visible 2 weeks post-treatment but generally, it will take 3-6 months for the body to flush the dead fat cells
- The treatment has been said to be a little painful at times
- Not considered suitable as a solution to obesity
- Results are immediate however bruising and swelling may be visible
- The treatment removes the fat cells from the body completely
- Liposuction can treat larger fat deposits
- Rapid weight loss after this procedure will put you at risk of gallstones
- There is a big risk that you could experience blood clots
- More expensive than a single Cool Sculpting ® treatment
- The procedure could leave scarring as it involves surgery
- Minimum 1-2 days downtime required for healing
Which of these treatments is more suitable for you?
Although liposuction can achieve similar results, if you are aiming to get rid of fat deposits that won't go away from exercise or dieting, Cool Sculpting ® is the better alternative. Not only does it not require surgery, but the treatment is less expensive and has far less possible side effects.
In saying that, some people may be more suited to liposuction and others Cool Sculpting ®. The differences will be explained in consultation.
How the treatment works
By carefully suctioning the area on the body being treated, CoolSculpting is able to safely deliver a controlled amount of cooling that will target the fat cells beneath the surface of the skin. The treatment produces a long-term result as it literally cools away the fat cells so they will not return.
Invest in Cool Sculpting ® – the number one alternative to liposuction available at Victoria's Cosmedi Spa in Launceston, only a few hours from Hobart
As a team, we work together to provide safe and well-practised treatment options using approved equipment. Our Victoria's staff are highly trained and qualified to perform the various beauty and cosmetic medical treatments we offer.

Eagles Workout Geno Smith – Potential Fit in Chip Kelly's New Offense
The Eagles conducted a private workout with West Virginia QB Geno Smith on the eve of NFL free agency. The Eagles currently hold the #4 overall pick and may just be doing their due diligence by getting a closer look at Geno. Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman obviously wanted to confirm what they saw or didn't see while watching Geno's film.
Ordinarily, I would say that you shouldn't read too much into this workout, however, this workout was also attended by team owner Jeffrey Lurie. This is where the situation gets very interesting. Why in the hell would Lurie go along? Maybe he just wants to be more involved in the draft process this time around. If word comes out that Lurie goes to see every last big-time prospect in person from now on, then there is nothing special about his presence at Geno's workout, but if he doesn't attend other workouts, this event could be significant. Lurie could want a closer look at his potential franchise quarterback.
You have to ask why everyone had previously written off Geno Smith to the Eagles at #4. He does have some accuracy concerns, which can be cleaned up, but consistent accuracy should be a given for a quarterback picked in the top five. Geno Smith isn't a dumb person; he can read defenses well, has a big arm, and is a very capable athlete, although he is no RG3. Most people use this comparison with RG3 as a reason that Geno Smith could never run the read-option offense. But after Geno Smith's surprising 4.59 second 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine, people are beginning to rethink Geno's athleticism.
I would agree that Geno Smith's overall athleticism doesn't seem to have enough upside to justify drafting him into a read-option offense, especially at the 4th overall pick. This is assuming that Kelly will use elements of his old offense in the NFL. I still think it's likely that Kelly and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur create an offense the NFL hasn't seen before, at least certain elements of the offense. If Chip Kelly just needs a smart QB who can read defenses in a way similar to Peyton Manning, then use that reading ability to deploy a deadly up-tempo offense, then Geno Smith might not be such a bad fit.
We really know nothing about what kind of offense Chip Kelly wants to run, everyone has just decided that it will be the read-option because Kelly is stockpiling mobile quarterbacks. If the offense will be run focused, but not necessarily QB run focused, Geno Smith could have a decent amount of success and stay healthy along the way.
If Geno Smith is the pick, we really have to justify why Michael Vick was kept around. Perhaps Kelly just needs a tackling dummy (sorry Vick) to work out the kinks in his offense before putting his future QB in harm's way. After Vick gets hurt between week 8-12, Geno Smith could get stuck in after having half a season to get his feet wet. I have to admit the idea is intriguing, but I would still rather draft Dion Jordan at #4, throw Vick and Dixon into the fire for one year and draft the real QB successor in next year's better QB Draft. If we're all going to admit that Chip Kelly's first year is a write-off anyway, why not wait on the QB and focus on other more promising positions in the draft.
There really isn't much reason to keep Vick around if you are gonna take a QB that high in the draft, because in today's NFL your QB doesn't get much better holding a clipboard, he needs to be under fire, adjusting to the speed of the game. Kevin Kolb held a clipboard for years and it didn't help one bit. By the time Kolb got the job he still looked like a rookie.
If the Eagles draft Geno, I'll probably be excited, but I just don't think he has enough upside to justify such a high pick. Although with Chip Kelly at the helm, he could probably turn any capable quarterback into a gunslinger. Here's hoping.
What do you think about the Eagles interested in Geno Smith? Could Chip Kelly's new offense thrive with Geno under center? Why bring back Michael Vick, if Geno was going to be the drafted?

The showdown for food freedom is intensifying.
In one corner, we have the lucrative Big Agra complex; in the other, the organic community (which includes all the people who just want the right to know what's in their food). The epic struggle between good and
evil, er, mega corporations is heating up as we enter the final days before Californians are able to cast their historic votes on Proposition 37: The Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act.
The opposition is so ardently devoted to not having to label products that contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), that the companies behind it are now spending an average of a million dollars a day to see that Prop. 37 is defeated.
If you didn't know any better, you might think these companies are doing it because they are scared consumers will stop buying products they know have cancer-causing GMOs in them. You might wonder if they are worried people will realize when a food package says "all natural," that phrase could actually mean the food was all naturally made in a laboratory out of once-natural things that, when combined with a little agriscience, no longer grow the way Mother Nature intended. You might ponder if these agribusinesses and their ilk are trying to block GMO labeling because they don't want you to stop feeding your family the same Bt corn that produces it own insecticide, has been linked to honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder, and therefore was banned in Poland, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Greece among others.
After some critical reflection, you might start to get concerned that the "Big Six" multi-billion-dollar bioscience companies — Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Syngenta, BASF, and Bayer — just want you to keep poisoning yourself so they can keep it business (and gratuitous profits) as usual.
You'd be wrong, though.
You see, the number one reason all of these companies and coalitions have spent over 35 million dollars to defeat the labeling initiative is to save you money.
According to the website No on Prop. 37.com (tagline: "Stop the deceptive food labeling scheme"), if GMO labeling is mandated, it will increase the average Californian family's grocery bills. The site says:
"…by forcing food products to be repackaged or remade with higher priced ingredients, Prop 37 would cost the average California family up to $400 per year in higher grocery costs."
See? These GMO manufacturers and sellers care about you and your family so much, they just want to save you money, that's all. You don't need repacking or "higher priced ingredients."
Where is the logic in a profitable company policy of "We're spending 35 million plus so you don't have to spend $400," you ask?
It probably came from the same bag of crazy where these companies found the ideas for their Frankenfood GMO science experiments, Agent Orange and DDT. Or maybe it came from the same shallow logic pool that the American Academy of Pediatrics found "Forget common sense: because there are no long-term studies to prove eating more pesticide is bad for you, it's probably fine to keep feeding it to your kids."
Also note that the "economic analysis" from which the magical $400 amount came is Northbridge Environmental Management Consultants, a consulting firm with no economic expertise that has been previously hired by soda companies to defeat Californian recycling initiatives.
The brilliant concept that, if these corporations just keep throwing ridiculous amounts of money at us in the form of propaganda and lies, we won't care about what's in our food is just the latest morally repugnant behavior to come out of Big Agra. The U.S. government works for the biotech industry on record. Meanwhile, corporate elite and politicians are all about organic food. While the First Lady was busy lauding her new organic garden, President Obama was busy appointing Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto lobbyist, as our FDA "Food Safety Czar."
Makes total sense, right?
How about another no-brainer: If the scientists who work at Monsanto making the genetically modified food refuse to eat their own creations in the company cafeteria, why should you?
Speaking of Monsanto, at the bottom of No on Prop. 37′s "About" page (which also conveniently lists all the companies and people financially bankrolling the opposition), it says, "Major funding by Monsanto Company, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and more than 40 food company members."
It might as well say, "This pathetic attempt at misleading people brought to you by the same guys that stand to lose a lot of money when consumers can decide for themselves if they want to put their health at risk by eating GMO."
If you could gather a bunch of bought-and-paid-for Big Agra bioscientists in a room right now and ask them about Prop. 37, it would probably look a lot like this:
The truth is, there are over 60 countries that have either banned GMOs or require them to be labeled. The only reason America is one of the last industrialized nations not to as least require GMO labeling can be summed up in one word: money.
Rest assured, though, it isn't about that fictitious $400 more a year families will supposedly spend at the grocery store just to earn the right to know something they should have already been told a long time ago anyway.
Californians: Please vote yes on Proposition 37. Start a trend that will send shockwaves across our nation and force these chemical companies to be accountable to We the People instead of profits.
We have the right to know what is in our food. We have the right to know what we are putting inside of our bodies. It's just that simple.

Pennsylvanians are driving less
Timesonline.com: ""In Pennsylvania, driving miles are down, just as they are in almost every state — only more," said Ashley Afranie-Sakyi of PennPIRG. "It's time for policy makers to wake up and realize the driving boom is over. We need to reconsider expensive highway expansions and focus on alternatives such as public transit and biking, which people increasingly use to get around.""

Want to live #carfree? Try Philadelphia
Credit: Kyle Gradinger on FlickrNext City: "Philly has the highest rate of bike commuting of the 10 largest U.S. cities, with bicycle mode share twice as high as that of the next-best city, Chicago. Neighborhoods in Center City and South Philly are in the same league as all-stars like Portland and Minneapolis for bicycle ridership.

Weekly New Thing: Turn off Cell Data
A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I finally got on the same phone plan, and soon after, we received multiple messages regarding overage fees and data use. I realized, after some Internet sleuthing and a quick visit to the Verizon store, that my phone accidentally used up the bulk of our joint data because all of my apps had the green "ON" button selected for cellular data when not in the presence of wi-fi.
I promptly turned all of them off with a few exceptions: Google Maps, Gmail/Inbox and Spotify (and I realize that last one can use a ton of data BUT I only listen to Spotify to and from work). No Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter. See ya later, AmazonFeedly, Hulu, Google Photos.
This method worked well in terms of getting my data usage back on track, because my phone stopped sucking it all up with a bunch of apps I didn't even use regularly. But you know what else happened?
I used my phone less. A lot less.
My phone used to be the first thing I looked at after I woke up in the morning and before I went to sleep at night. Then I would drive to work and putz around on my phone at stoplights and while stuck in traffic, which is not only unsafe (yeah, I'm calling myself out) but totally pointless (my only task while driving the car should be . . . driving the car). Then I worked all day on a computer, often using my phone at the same time. Then I came home, and most days took my dog on a walk (phone in hand, of course, because god forbid I get a little bored going AROUND THE BLOCK) or went to yoga (thankfully, a phone-free zone). Then I usually alternated between watching television, reading on my phone, talking on the phone WHILE looking at some other screen or reading on my Kindle.
So at first, this inability to use my phone felt strange. I kept doing the phantom reach thing where I'd pick up my phone, try to open an app or do something, receive the "cell data is not turned on, go to settings if you'd like to blah blah," and put my phone back down. 95% of the time I did not need to complete the action I set out to take. If I really needed to use my phone, I went into the cell data section and turned it back on for a minute. (Like when I couldn't remember if I was scheduled to sub a yoga class, or whether or not I should throw an umbrella in my purse.)
By turning off cell data, my habits began to change. Because I wasn't constantly reaching for my phone, I multi-tasked less and got more shit done. I also felt better, less distracted and fidgety. I realized how often my eyes are glued to a screen -- computer, phone, television -- and tried to set better limits. For example, I still use my phone as an alarm in the mornings, but I don't fall into the trap of scrolling mindlessly; I just get out of bed and start my day because everything on that phone can wait a little bit. I put on music in the car before I shift out of park, and let it play while driving -- and just as I did at age 16, I listen to a full song or album instead of getting shuffle-happy. My job requires a computer, but my phone stays in my purse all day for the most part. And when I get home, I put my phone on the charger and leave it alone, unless I'm intentionally choosing to make a call or send a text. (Of course, I still fail at these things because I'm definitely not perfect and there are too many good shows on television to cut it out completely, but PROGRESS.)
I'll never be the kind of person to go off the grid completely, but turning off my cell data and limiting phone use led to an unexpected, drastic change in my habits with respect to technology. It may not work for you, but for me, it helped me set better boundaries and break some poor patterns -- which led to more focus, improved mood and reduced stress.
*Note: check out "Removed" by Eric Pickersgill, a disarming series of photos where cell phones have literally been removed from photos of people.

According to the most recent government statistics, there were over 82,000 Georgia workplace injuries last year. That means that almost 2.7 out of every 100 Georgia employees suffer a work injury each year. This figure is roughly in line with the national rate of workplace injuries, which is 2.9 injuries per 100 workers.
The most dangerous workplaces are those that rely heavily on physical labor or require workers to use dangerous machinery. Perhaps not surprisingly, then, the jobs that have the highest rate of injury are in the construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries. Interestingly, the education industry also reported a high incident rate of workplace injuries.
As a general matter, employers have a duty to ensure a safe workplace. That being said, not every harm can be remedied, and injuries will occur at work. In such cases, the Georgia workers' compensation program offers a straightforward way for injured workers to obtain compensation for their injuries. In addition, approved applicants will also be provided with ongoing weekly benefits until they are able to return to work. In some cases, workers' compensation benefits can continue for decades.

Linux kill all active process except your login session with killall5 commandlast updated in Categories Howto, Linux, Linux distribution
Almost all UNIX SystemV version has killall command which is used to kill all active processes i.e. terminates all processes with open files so that the mounted file systems will be unbusied and can be unmounted.
However Linux killall command used to kill processes by name (if no signal name is specified, SIGTERM is sent). If you missed old good SysV killall command, try killall5 command under any Linux distro. killall5 is nothing but the UNIX SystemV killall command. It sends a signal to all processes except kernel threads and the processes in its own session, so it won't kill the shell that is running the script it was called from.
Just type killall5 and every active process will get killed except your login session:
# netstat
# netstat -tulpn
# killall5
# netstat -tulpn
As usual,
(a) The killall command can be run only by the super-user.
(b) Use this command with caution

Nike Air Jordan is a line of Nike brand basketball shoes, associated with the name of Michael Jordan, former Chicago Bulls player in the NBA.
Michael Jordan wore Converse All-Star during his NCAA seasons. Then, during his rookie year, he wore Nike Air Force One finally. The following year, Air Jordan "One" was released on the market. The Jordan Brand was founded in 1988, in partnership with Nike.
Commercial and cultural impact
Ever since, the Jordan sports shoes have sold more than 100 million pairs worldwide.
On the sale of these shoes and derivatives comes the bulk of the income of Michael Jordan who at one time collected royalties (royalty) of 6% per pair sold.
Since 2002, the Jordan Brand Classic Game has been held annually, bringing together the country's top high school students and academics, as well as many European players and American professional championships.
In addition, some models are created exclusively for the stores of the Foot Locker chain and models are released exclusively in the House of Hoops in partnership with Nike. The Jordan Brand was the main sponsor (along with Nike and Converse recently bought by the parent company Nike) of the world basketball championship in 2010.
The Jordan Brand is also the sponsor of Quai 54 in Paris since 2010, considered one of the most prestigious streetball tournaments in the world. Chris Paul and Ray Allen respectively made the trip to represent the brand and attend the event.

According to my research and own experience on the different men's fashion products, if you wear medium in the US it is very likely that Asian large will fit you.

Best hammock tarps and in-depth guide
Just as promised, here's a buying guide that's going to equip you with all the knowledge you need and will definitely complement the 11 hammock tarps listed above quite well.
Here's what you should consider:
The tarp material- what to pay attention to.
When durability is a priority, it would be best if you choose to settle for a hammock tarp that observes a balance between weight and durability.
Basically, as we'll see later on in our guide, the high-quality tarps will be heavier and vice versa in most cases. Depending on where you'll be doing your hammock camping, you should weigh your options between going for a heavier and durable tarp or one that's light and compromised a little bit on the durability.
The shape and aesthetics
Just as they do come in different sizes, so do they come in different shapes. There are some that have an irregular shape but have got all it takes to give you the best hammock camping experience.
But, if the shape is a priority, here are some you could choose from:
A hexagonal tarp
These have become one of the most preferred kinds of hammock camping tarps due to the fact that they have a wide surface area hence a reliable coverage against most weather elements.
As compared to square and rectangular hammock tarps, they are also less bulky
Rectangular-shaped tarps
This has been around for the longest time and is bound to give you most coverage. The downside to this design is that they're heavy and bulky and can be quite a hassle to set up
Square-shaped tarps
These come in a variety of sizes. If you get the right size, you could just have the best hammock tarp for backpacking as they'll save on a lot of weight. Larger ones, on the other hand, will give you protection against weather elements but you'll have to deal with the weight that comes along with them
Diamond-shaped tarps
These are also known as asymmetrical tarps. They're mainly meant to go with asymmetrical hammocks. They can also be an alternative to the square tarps for lightweight backpacking but the downside to getting them is that they'll sometimes be a hassle to put together.
The weight of your tarp
Whereas you may be limited by what to go for if say you want the best ultralight hammock tarp for backpacking, it's not the same case if you want one for a kayak or car camping. At the end of the day, what determines how heavy a tarp you'll have is the material used in its design
Silicone-impregnated ripstop nylon/SLI-nylon: if you want something that'll not burden you with too much weight but is, at the same time fairly durable, this is what you should go for
Ripstop Nylon: of all the materials you could get for your hammock tarp, this is the heaviest option to go for if you're a backpacker but on the other hand, if the sacrifice is worth it, you should definitely give it a try.
Cuben Fiber tarps: being the lightest of all the options we've already looked at, it should be chosen if you won't be facing any weather extremities as it is not the most durable option
How to set up a hammock tarps
Setting up a hammock tarp is quite simple and straightforward provided you have even the most basic equipment which should be your cord.
First, determine the appropriate height of your hammock. Different shapes other than the conventional square and rectangular-shaped tarps will require a little more effort.
Center the tarp over your hammock and then tie cords where necessary regarding the shape of your hammock
When hanging up the hammock, you should make a loop of each cord around a secure anchor point with one cod running underneath the other than make a second loop around the same anchor point. Do this for all the cords.
Have the knots fairly tight and you'll be through
Final verdict
I'm sure that getting a hammock tarp is quite easy now, right? There's no way you could go wrong considering you have both the buying guide and the product listing.
Here's my recommendation
The Pro Venture WATERPROOF HAMMOCK RAIN FLY - Portable Large Rain Tarp definitely has it all. It's larger in size than most, weighs only 1.8 lbs and it's made from 210D ripstop nylon that is extra durable, tear and puncture-resistant.
I've done most of the hard work and all that's left is for you to have a clear picture of what you desire in mind then pick out the best that's going to fit your personal preferences.
