Nothing describes Grace Jones quite like the word fabulous. Granted, I've never met her but I sense it's something grand about her presence, like she can own a room just by walking in. Much like Prince, Ms. Jones is an enigma. How can one girl possess so much confidence and style?
Let's go beyond that. Grace Jones was perceived downright ugly by many, especially many brown people. She is sure enough dark, too dark for many to consider her a beauty. Her nose is thick. Her look is strong. Despite an inundation of criticism, she used her naysayers as a runway. Grace sported that high top fade better than any 80s rapper. She did it all while embodying her namesake: with grace and explosive confidence, she shocked the worlds of fashion and music only to make her mark as an icon.
Despite "Pull Up to the Bumper" holding strong at #2 for 7 weeks, Jones wasn't just one-hit sensation. And yes, her acting career extends far beyond Boomerang (James Bond, hello). Her presence was magnetic enough to attract the likes of Andy Warhol. Finally, her style was dapper enough that French photographer Jean-Paul Goude just had to work with her. Best of all, she is still rocking audiences to this day.
What I'm saying is this: when I'm not quite 100%, I turn on the Jones. When I find myself spending too much time in the mirror, I make a mean Nicki Minaj face and yell out "Grace Jones B*&$#ES!". Then I let out an evil laugh and walk away.

This part of the 'Lili & Ida' collection takes inspiration from more modern subject matter, in contrast to the delicate pieces based on my great-grandmother Ida's work. Here I have played with the concept of making the functional hinge a beautiful wearable piece.
Become suitably unhinged with this statement necklace, inspired by every-day brass hinges, and transformed into an object of desire in the form of walnut and gold acrylic.
Hanging from a mixed chunky and slim 14ct gold-filled chain, this is playful hardware at its best!
6.5cm X 3.5cm, total chain length: 42cm.
Material Used
Two styles of 14ct gold-filled chains, acrylic, and varnished walnut.

The first mistake was the throw into double coverage, McNabb should not have made that throw.
For many years, Santana Moss preached "attacking the ball" when making catches. In tis video, it is an ill-advised throw but Santana has a chance to make the play but instead the video above says it all.
Maybe Santana has lost the magic he dazzled us with for many years.

All you need is four parts of sun, plus five parts of fun. Add a whole lot of smiles, clean air, fresh water, and a dash of exercise and pinch of play. You will find all of the necessary ingredients inside the 60-page Recreator program and activity guide. In addition, the second edition of the GREENfield SHEET, the City's official newsletter, is located in the middle of the guide. Here are some of the program highlights the Department is offering for this summer:

Kamp Konkel is also returning this summer for two weeks in August. See pages 21-24 for registration details.

Week 5 will be fine
Monday starts week two on the test e. Just wondering when you guys recommend getting bloodwork done on cycle? Im running it for 10 weeks at 600mg/week so I was thinking week 5. I will post up the results when I get them.
Week 5 will be fine
Like bigjay73 said, then, I would wait a little while. It takes time for the estrogen levels to rise. Test e will take several weeks even to get the testosterone levels up in your blood, and then the conversion to estrogen. Since you are already taking aromasin (how much, by the way?), I would not worry about it until about week 5.
Kudos for even bothering to do the testing and watch out for yourself, though. That is kind of rare here.
I'm taking 12.5 mg ed. From what I have read on various forums that should be plenty to cover 600mg test ew.

Ultimately what is the difference between virtual private server and dedicated server?
Ultimately what is the difference between virtual private server and dedicated server?
Hi amir55,
I must say that I like the analogy you used to explain the difference between shared hosting, VPS and dedicated.
I found it quite amusing but very understandable for someone that is not familiar with the differences.

VPS stands for virtual private server (VPS), also called a virtual dedicated server (VDS). The virtual server is act like a dedicated server for a single user but is actually installed on a computer serving multiple Web sites.The VPS alternative is often chosen by small businesses that need a customized Web site but cannot afford a dedicated server. Another useful of VPS technology is the ability of a single customer to maintain multiple virtual servers. Finally,VPS means one server can share among them multiple user.
Dedicated server:
Dedicated server means that it is dedicated to the one client and it is not shared with any other client.Dedicated servers usually allow for the customer to choose what operating system is installed on it and what type of hardware are they used.Dedicated hosting server where you can find reliable options and minimize the response time for the user requests.
I also get a dedicated server from this site xxx for my Internationalized business. Here they offered linux based web hosting.

Virtual Private server means that you can have more than one virtual server account on the same physical machine, yet it acts as if the dedicated server is yours. It depends on a dedicated server, but there may be other 4 or 5 VPSs on that same server. With VPS you are basically sharing the resources of a single dedicated between all of the VPSs hosted on it. So, depending on your needs a VPS may be better, because they are reasonably priced as compared to a dedicated server, or a Dedicated server might be better, because it is completely yours and there are no other root users.

Free Publication-Quality Content for DMOs
Request a free demo » or call 323-632-6115
Starting today, all of our editorially selected and vetted content is available free to DMOs (destination marketing organizations). The idea is to create an open network of publication-quality information about places that can be used to promote any neighborhood, town, or region. Trazzler content can be plugged into iPhone apps, websites, guidebooks, slideshows, newspaper and magazine features, and tourism brochures.
"Content – especially compelling photography – is essential to destination marketers," said Gwynne Spann, Content Manager, Visit California. "We strive to provide the most interesting and engaging content in order to showcase the Golden State to potential visitors. We are extremely pleased that Trazzler will be making their rich content, gathered from thousands of excellent writers and photographers, available to nonprofit organizations like Visit California."
What makes Trazzler different from all of the other sites that collect information on places? It's our editorial vision and the skill level of the writers and photographers. Every place you find on Trazzler is here because we think it is good and every featured photo and article has been selected and vetted by an editor. Four years ago, Trazzler launched a radically different kind of publishing platform where writers and photographers could interact directly with editors. Now we're opening up the results of this experiment to organizations that do good.
Writers and photographers can participate by submitting on the pool of places our editors recommend around the world, or by suggesting a new place.

"Engagement and the authentic experience are core values for our destination," said Brendan McGuigan, Director of Interactive Media at Visit Mendocino County. "Our visitors come as much for the overall 'feel' of the county as they do for any specific attraction. Finding an app that reflected those values proved to be virtually impossible, with most functioning simply as geo-locating yellow pages, and a custom build was well outside our budget or time constraints. Then we heard about the localized Trazzler app."
"The Trazzler app is a perfect fit for us. The Open Places initiative lets us leverage the large amount of content already on Trazzler for our destination; social media integration lets our visitors share the beauty and experiences they encounter with their friends; and above all, the interface inspires users to take their own photos and write their own descriptions, helping us flesh out the story of our destination with a diversity of viewpoints that far exceeds anything we could do in-house."

Attorney General Concerned About HRC's Former Patients
By Jennifer Kraus
Consumer Investigator
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- Tennessee's attorney general said he's prepared to contact every patient in the state who got hormone replacement therapy from Nashville-based HRC Medical.
This comes as the attorney general has gone to court to shut down the entire company. It comes after NewsChannel 5 Investigates first exposed problems with HRC's hormone therapy nearly a year ago.
In addition, the AG is so concerned that he wants every patient who went to the HRC clinics in Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville to talk with their primary care physicians about the possible long-term health problems they could face -- including endometrial cancer and breast cancer.
Read the lawsuit filed against HRC Medical
"It's frightening," said former HRC patient Susan Moerschel.
Moerschel, who underwent hormone replacement therapy at HRC for a year, was stunned to hear now that the state attorney general has gone to court to shut down HRC Medical in order to "protect consumers."
The 160-page complaint filed Monday accuses HRC and its owners of running the company in a "persistently fraudulent manner" and repeatedly making "false and misleading statements" about its heavily promoted hormone replacement therapy.
The complaint also confirmed what NewsChannel 5 Investigates first reported back in November of last year, that HRC gave patients substantially more testosterone than they needed.
"I kinda grew a moustache," Moerschel shared.
She said she experienced what she described as extreme side effects from the therapy. She grew facial hair and her menopause symptoms went away.
"Some of the things that my body had gone through and I was kinda glad to see go away, came back and are still back," she said.
The attorney general says HRC patients were never told or fully informed of the potential adverse health risks.
According to the AG, Dr. Dan Hale, the company's former medical director, and other HRC managers told the company's salespeople not to mention the specific risks or side effects associated with the therapy because "we'll never have anybody come in here."
Perhaps most concerning is that the Tennessee Attorney General's Office now wants all of HRC's patients who took its hormone therapy to see their primary care physicians as soon as possible.
Many HRC patients have shared the same sort of experience during their visits to HRC. Susan Moerschel is one of them.
"How often did you see a doctor?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked.
"I did not."
And, according to the complaint, HRC employees routinely falsified patients' medical records to make it appear that doctors had reviewed the charts, frequently signing the files themselves, even though they had no medical training whatsoever.
It's been more than a year now since Moerschel had any of HRC's hormone pellets implanted, pellets that she said she was told were safe.
"To find out that it's not necessarily true -- I don't know how much of that may be in my system."
Now, she admitted, she's worried.
The attorney general wants HRC ordered to pay customers who have suffered losses. The AG also wants the state to revoke Dr. Hale's medical license.
And the state wants to liquidate the company, essentially shutting down all of HRC's clinics -- in all nearly three dozen of them in 22 states.
That could be a long legal process. So, in the meantime, the AG wants the court to issue a temporary restraining order against HRC.
This case was just filed Monday. And while the attorney general asked for an immediate, essentially an emergency, hearing to consider its request in the interest of public safety, a court clerk employee said that a date for that hearing has not been set yet.
HRC Medical's attorney did not return NewsChannel 5 Investigates' calls.

New week and new Real Housewives spin-off rumors. This time it's one of the ladies from the Beverly Hills bitch fest who is in talks to get her own show. And it's one of the craziest of the well-heeled crew.
The winner of her own TV show? Marisa Zanuck. One of the newest wives, she certainly made an impact this past season. She is best remembered for the outrageous things that came out of her mouth -- most notably about her husband, movie producer Dean Zanuck. At a dinner with castmate Brandi Glanville, she talked about her husband not being her type while he was sitting right beside her. Even brash Brandi thought it was rude and disrespectful.
Later Marisa admitted her wrongdoing: "Sometimes my mouth speaks before my brain thinks, but that's me," she wrote on her Bravo blog. Well, a new show promises plenty more of her foot firmly planted in her mouth. It's no secret that Marisa won't be popping up on RHOBH next season -- she says she quit the show. But when a fan expressed sadness over the departure, the reality star wrote, "u will be seeing me and the whole family very soon!" The series is apparently in development and more info will be released about it soon.
That promises to be a can't-miss show (though sources say it probably won't be on Bravo). This woman will say whatever she wants, regardless of how offensive it may be. She's rude, rich, and speaks her mind. If that doesn't make for great reality TV, I don't know what does. You will either love her or love to hate her.
Will you watch Marisa's show?
Image via Bravo
She's boring as hell so probably not.
no, because she is so rude, she may be saying it is all in fun, but she is tearing her husband down....guess what sweetie..... you are a BITCH
No, I really don't like her.. Now if Brandi had her own show I would watch that ! Just don't replace her with Faye on the show because then i would not watch the show at all!
I don't believe I will. Very surprised she's getting her own spin off. I didn't even remember who she was, had to look her up to see what she looked like...LMAO...!!!

Investors pushed U.S. stocks to new highs as investors piled into health-care stocks and Cyprus' government got an extra year's reprieve on its debts—though investors found plenty of reasons for caution on the horizon.

The U.S. gains came on the back of strong advances in European markets, which reopened Tuesday after a long holiday weekend. Investors cheered a move giving Cyprus an extra year, or until 2017, to meet its budget targets. Separately, a measure of euro zone manufacturing activity was better than expected.
The Stoxx Europe 600 rallied 1.3%, while Germany's DAX rose 1.9% and France's CAC-40 rallied 2%. Cyprus' CSE General Index, which opened for trading for the first time in two weeks, slumped 2.6%.
Despite Tuesday's gains, there were plenty of warning lights for skeptical investors to point to.
"The best sectors are the ones that aren't supposed to be doing well in a rally like this," said Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds. "People are trying to invest and not be left behind by the rally, but they're also taking a very cautious approach."
Three of the most economically-sensitive sectors—materials, energy and industrial stocks—finished in the red. The Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization stocks also declined, while the Dow Jones Transportation Average—an index of 20 shipping, railroad and airline stocks that is considered a bellwether of economic activity—dropped 1.2%.

In addition to the gains among health-care stocks, consumer-staples and telecommunications stocks outpaced the broader benchmark, a reminder to market watchers that the year's gains have been driven mostly by less economically sensitive stocks.
"When you also look at market leadership, the best performing groups being health care, consumer staples and utilities, it's a little bit suspect that the market is trying to move higher with these sectors leading. It's fairly uncommon and it's unsustainable," says Brian Rauscher, chief portfolio strategist for equity research at Robert W. Baird.
"The market is not really being driven by growth, and that's why the defensive areas have been outperforming," Mr. Rauscher said. "We're still in a world where we can wake up, and either Cyprus or the Italian election can rattle the financial markets."
Investors also may be limiting their enthusiasm ahead of a slate of closely watched economic indicators due later this week, including meetings of central banks in Europe and Japan and the monthly U.S. jobs report on Friday.
Asian markets were mostly lower, led by a second day of selling in Japan. After falling 2.1% on Monday, the Nikkei Stock Average shed another 1.1% Tuesday to a nearly one-month low, as yen strength during Asian trading hours weighed on exporters' shares. The yen has since erased its gains to trade slightly lower against the dollar.
Orders for U.S. manufactured goods increased 3% in February, in line with expectations.
Crude-oil futures overcame morning losses to edge up 0.1% to $97.19 a barrel, while gold futures eased 1.6% to $1,575.10 an ounce. Silver, meantime, fell 2.5% to its lowest level in eight months. The dollar rose against the euro and the yen, while demand for Treasurys slipped, edging the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up to 1.861%.

^ it's not like amare decided to be a ******* and all on his own said " I'm not traveling with the team and refuse to sit on the bench" and then proceeded to cross his arms andante an angry face...
This decision was a joint team decision.

Stat has been travelling with the team, he was even doing drills in Miami before the game. He just doesn't sit on the bench during the game, which isn't a big deal.
Ive been an anti STAT guy but I have to say he looksin Elite shape even if hes not an Elite player guy looks phenomenal and seems incredibly focused. Framework is there now or never for STAT.
The value of elite scoring ability, by Phil Jackson:
"This is a guy, we recognize his talent, and his skill is the kind of skill and talent that gets you through playoff games where things get sticky, grind-out, and basketball becomes a force game and suddenly you need to have a player who has the capabilities of scoring with someone hanging on them in a situation thats critical. Hes one of those players, one of the few players who can do that.

Demaryius Thomas' tweets (may require registration) caused some confusion in Denver, apparently.
Thomas, a former wide receiver at Georgia Tech, broke his foot while training for the NFL Combine.
He tweeted that he was about to get some X-rays. A few hours later he tweeted "Sad."
People put two and two together and thought he got some bad news.
It turns out, the tweets weren't related. He subsequently removed them to try and eliminate the confusion.
A spokesperson for the Broncos told ESPN that the the X-rays were fine.
For more on Thomas, please read this.
Here's something on former Tech safety Morgan Burnett.

dawgfan, despite having to read through your spelling errors, are you aware that last year's GT-UGA game actually had one of the lowest Georgia fan turnouts in recent memory? If you were there you'd have seen that there was far less red in that PACKED stadium than the Gailey years. There are two reasons – 1) dawgs thought there was a slim chance they'd win after the Kentucky debacle and 2) Tech's ticketing agency pulled some new tricks with ticket availability to prevent the familiar phenomenon you refer to of dawgs buying Jacket season tickets just for the Hate game. Except for the loss, it was a much better game atmosphere for Tech than hosting the dawgs has been in the past. Fewer of them on campus and fewer in the stands.

Kam, I'm sorry DeVry's campus wasn't too nice for you. Your jealousy, while well placed, is manifesting in stupid statements. Ask any school in this state what they think of Tech's campus. The only people that might be able to say they have a nicer place probably prefer rural campuses like UGA or Southern. I'll give ya Emory or Agnes Scott for the old-architecture crowd. Georgia Tech is a nice place especially in the Spring. Not that reason or an actual visit to campus would be enough to inform your argument . Jealousy will do that to people.

The GT turnout on this blog is getting to be like one of the semi-yearly beatdowns at the Joke. Similar to your pee-wee football program, the only reason this blog exists is because of UGA and its fans. Both would die a slow death if not for the "rivalry," and I use that term loosely, graciously afforded to you by the state's only relevant program.

Clarification, ask Clemson and VT how relevant we are. Ya know, those two programs that are usually ranked decently in the preseason and managed to beat SEC teams in bowls last year? Yeah, they know about playing in "the Joke." There's a reason that stadium's the winningest in Division 1…and it aint the free hotdogs. Speaking of hotdogs, it's great for you that your dogs got hot that night and fired up the running game. I'd say that's your stellar O-line and our lack of good linebacker coaching. You know GT is a real team or else you'd not even be here. But we're on your mind it seems.

GT, 'go taliban?' Really?! You're aware of Georgia Tech's strong American military tradition, right? In my opinion saying that Tech supports terrorism is taking the rivalry too far. You don't go to football games shouting, "I want to kill you!" do you? You make yourself look like a fool.

Thoughts from the NHL on TSN Panel on Thursday night:
Busy Night For Holtby
Braden Holtby made 44 saves on 45 shots to lead the Washington Capitals to victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, but it's not the busiest that Holtby has ever been.
In his first WHL game, a 16-year-old Holtby was called up from the Saskatoon Blazers to play for the Blades and he stopped 49 of 53 shots.
Thursday night was a bigger stage, as he found himself in the Stanley Cup playoffs trying to get his team back in the series.
The result was grand theft larceny on the part of Holtby.
In one sense, it's ludicrous to compare him to Ken Dryden because Dryden won a Stanley Cup as a rookie. However, we can point out that his start for the playoffs has been Dryden-esque for Holtby.
It was Dryden up against the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins, when he weaved his magic and after four games the series was tied 2-2.
The rookie Holtby finds himself in the same situation right now.
Time Was On Their Side
There was 9.5 seconds left at the faceoff.
The timekeeper was trying to get the referees attention to tell him not to drop the puck because they needed to add 0.9 seconds to make it 10.4 seconds left in the game.
While the timekeeper was yelling at the referee and they were letting the horn go, the referee couldn't hear anything because the Verizon Center is so loud.
The timekeeper then didn't start the clock and 5.3 seconds elapsed before he actually got it started.
If Boston had scored at the end of the game, the NHL would have had to disallow any goal from 5.3 seconds left to the end of the game.
Can you imagine the mayhem of trying to explain that to the Bruins if they had scored.
Relying On Their Stars
On Thursday night, the New Jersey Devils got the lead over the Florida Panthers, they didn't give it up and this time there was no question in the goaltending.
If the Devils are going to make noise in these playoffs, they are going to make it with their big boys. Their big boys are none other than Zach Parise, Ilya Kovalchuk and Martin Brodeur.
Parise and Kovalchuk each had a goal in Game 4 and made things happen offensively.
At the other end of the ice, there had been so much talk about Brodeur being pulled last game, about his playoff record recently and the fact the Devils haven't made it to the second round of the playoffs.
Brodeur came through with an outstanding shutout performance that moves his past Patrick Roy on the all-time list for goaltenders.
If the Devils are going to make that playoff noise, those are the guys that are going to do it.

Ubisoft's action-adventure game Watch Dogstopped the video-game sales list in May, per NPD data.

Nintendo's racing game Mario Kart 8 was #2 selling game, while MLB 14: The Showtook the #3 slot. Bethesda's Wolfenstein: The New Order was #4 and Minecraft was #5. A number of game releases on new consoles drove software sales in the month, which soared 57.0% to $274.0 million.

EA's strong game portfolio for next-generation consoles has been the primary growth factor for the stock. However, Zynga continued to lose during the period, primarily on intensifying competition, from the likes of King Digital, delisting threats and less-than-impressive product pipeline.

Guy Edwin Dixon, a former Eastern Airlines pilot and founder of Panelfold Inc., titled his 154-page memoir, What a Life! in 2000.
Indeed, Dixon, who died March 6 at age 93 at his home in Miami Lakes, had a storied life.
Born in Hendersonville. NC, Dixon rebuilt the first Taylor E-2 Cub airplane he ever flew and soloed shortly after his 16th birthday.
The idea came about five years earlier while he watched some pals on his block build what they called a skating glider. Basically, this contraption was a forerunner of the hang glider. The idea was to skate down a hill, jump into the air and, well, soar for a few feet.
But the teens found that a bit too tame and decided to hitch the glider to a motorcycle to generate lift.
"They got along pretty good until they got into a severe cross wind and the glider was in the air and it drifted to the side of the street and hit a telephone pole and that was the end of the glider," Dixon wrote in his autobiography. "They didn't get hurt and neither did I. I was just watching from the sidelines."
That would be about the only time Dixon watched from the sidelines.
"I became the youngest flight instructor in the Air Corps," he wrote. "I was only 19; but nobody had bothered to ask me how old I was. So we went merrily along."
Age was never an impediment. Dixon's son, Guy Dixon III, now 68 and the president/CEO of his father's company, Panelfold, which makes folding doors, accordion partitions and operable walls, wrote an essay many years ago, some time around high school, about what his father meant to him.
"When my father was a lad, aviation was still a pretty new thing. For most people in the country, the airplane was just something they had heard about during World War I — or may have seen with some daredevil barnstormers over a nearby cow pasture. And to the folks in the hills of western North Carolina, well, aviation was pretty remote. But Dad got interested in flying."
Dixon would join Eastern Airlines in 1941, the same year he married his wife Adagene with whom he would raise two children, Beth Dixon Geyer and Guy III. The couple remained married until her death in March 2011.
By 1942 the couple moved to Miami and Dixon flew under contract for the Army Air Corps Military Transport Division to South America and Africa during World War II. "Our flights normally left Miami at night about nine o' clock. Here again, this was a new type of flying for me. We were flying long, over water flights or over jungle areas, which weren't even properly mapped, without any navigational aids," he wrote.
Flying like this, about 100 hours per month, gave Dixon time for family and, as they grew, the Dixons moved from Miami Beach, to Coral Gables, then South Miami and Miami Shores.
The idea for Panelfold originated at the Miami Shores home. A closet on the west side of the house used ordinary swinging doors. Now, swinging doors might be OK as the title of a classic Merle Haggard weeper, but when left open they became a safety hazard, Dixon decided.
So Dixon began designing folding doors made of wood that would stay within jambs and fold back upon themselves and not be an obstacle when left open. His first commercial installation was in Key Largo and Panelfold was incorporated in 1953.
All the while, Dixon was flying as a captain for Eastern and he would remain with the airline for 25 years. A heart scare, clogged arteries, eventually grounded him in the mid 1960s.
"I had 21,624 flight hours without injury to passengers or equipment and my pay was approximately $40,000 flying the 727. My Panelfold salary was just a token $2,500. We had a mortgage to pay," he wrote.
Dixon talked it over with his wife. The company would become their professional focus. "We were off on another adventure. We had to make Panelfold a success."
In 1971, Panelfold received the U.S. President's E-Award, given to individuals or organizations that contribute significantly to increase United States exports. In May 1986, Panelfold won the E-Star Award for excellence in international exporting. Dixon was invited to the White House to receive the award on the Rose Garden by President Ronald Reagan. "This was a high honor … President Reagan was warm and pleasant and friendly," Dixon wrote.
The couple would soon enjoy retirement at an oceanfront home at the Ocean Reef Club in the Florida Keys. Dixon completed 50 years as chairman of Panelfold in 2003.
"It is important for a boy to be able to look up to his dad with respect and admiration," Guy III wrote in that long-ago essay when he was a teen. His feelings haven't changed.
"It means a lot to be able to point with pride to your father and say, 'There's the kind of man I hope to be some day.'… I owe a far greater debt to him for the guidance, the character, and the moral values to which he has exposed me."
Dixon is survived by his two children, five grandchildren, three great grandchildren, his brothers Tom and Frank Dixon and sister Becky Dixon Friedman. Private services will be held.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
More than 5 million Americans have heart valve disease, a number expected to double in the next 25 years. The Heart Valve Disease Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota provides the focused expertise necessary for precise diagnosis and high rates of treatment success for patients with valvular disease.
The experienced cardiologists in the Heart Valve Disease Clinic conduct diagnostic tests, discuss the results with the patient, and formulate a treatment plan — during the course of just one day. During the process, patients are educated about their conditions and possible treatments. The combination of speed, accuracy and highly experienced staff sets Mayo apart from other medical centers, providing both patient convenience and the highest quality of care.
After diagnosis, patients who require an intervention undergo surgery to repair or replace damaged valves or a percutaneous intervention, if appropriate. Mayo has a strong tradition of excellence in heart valve surgery. Mayo surgeons specialize in multiple repairs or replacements during one surgery, as well as other challenging cases such as second or third valve surgeries.
Throughout diagnosis and treatment, heart valve specialists commonly confer with other Mayo specialists to pinpoint a diagnosis or collaborate on a treatment plan. Mayo Clinic physicians' philosophy is that teamwork results in better patient care, and Mayo cardiologists do not hesitate to call on a colleague when patients will benefit from another opinion.
Following treatment, a visit is scheduled with the clinic's nurse practitioner to check the patient's progress and ensure a good recovery and continuity of care. This vital step is uncommon at other centers. At Mayo, patients appreciate the difference.
Researchers in the Heart Valve Disease Clinic are actively studying new treatments for heart valve disease. Because of Mayo's long tradition of research, patients have the opportunity to receive leading-edge treatment and, when appropriate, to participate in clinical trials. Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, that frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Learn more about research on the cardiovascular research Web page.
Patients may be referred by their primary physician or may request an appointment on their own.
To schedule an appointment at the Heart Valve Disease Clinic, call 507-266-9266 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – School board members in New Hanover County had plenty of questions about a proposed expansion of the immersion program at Forest Hills Elementary Tuesday night, but one board member did not want to answer any of our questions.
The principal of Forest Hills said she would like to offer Mandarin at the school, and board members discussed the details like cost. At one point, Dr. Derrick Hickey made the following comment:
"The Chinese make all the materials, so I think it would be cheaper."
When approached for comment about what he meant with that statement after the work session, Hickey said "pass." He directed the questions to Chairman Don Hayes. We explained that Hickey needed to clarify his comments. Again, our request for clarification was denied.
On his way out the door, Hickey said he "was about to get misquoted on the news."
A third request for an explanation proved to be the charm.
"I was joking that many things are made in China and it could be cheaper," said Hickey. "Materials made in China on a mass scale."
When asked if he would make the same joke in front of students of Chinese descent, Hickey drove away.
Hickey later commented on this story with an updated clarification of what he meant, saying that this was a "lighthearted comment" and economic discussion and not a joke.
"Craig: On a night where so many important issues were discussed, it is disappointing to see that you choose to try to create a salacious news story from a lighthearted comment between board members. There are real issues in our county schools. In particular, our teachers feel unsupported and feel threatened by recent legislative changes that affect every aspect of their jobs. The board is working and will continue to work to try to allay the fear in the education community and to ensure that this change does not affect the teachers in our county negatively. Our teachers work hard and deserve a tremendous amount of credit. While you may agree with my position, that is not an excuse to sandbag the education community or its issues with this type of distraction. I regret if you do not understand China's labor market providing them a cost advantage and misconstrue my comment as "racist"," Derrick Hickey wrote in an email.
Most of the school board was gone after the interaction, but Chairman Hayes said he remembered hearing part of Hickey's comment. He said he did not find it offensive.
Hickey said the comment did not reflect his feelings about the immersion program. He said he is in support of it.

Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disorder of the connective tissue of the body, triggered by a Group A strep throat infection. This condition causes temporary, painful arthritis and other symptoms.
In some cases rheumatic fever causes long-term damage to the heart and its valves. This is called rheumatic heart disease.
Rheumatic fever occurs as a result of a rare strain of strep throat that isn't treated with antibiotics quickly enough or at all. Doctors aren't sure why this rare strain of strep triggers this inflammatory disorder. It's probably because antibodies (special proteins in the blood that attack strep) mistakenly also attack healthy cells, such as the heart muscle and valve cells, and joint, brain and skin tissue, causing a reaction that results in inflammation.
Strep throat is most common in school-aged children, and so is rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever was a leading cause of disability and death in children in the United States before 1960. Today, rheumatic fever is not common in the United States because most people have access to penicillin and other antibiotics. However, it still occurs in this country, and remains a leading cause of early death in countries with less-developed healthcare systems.
There is a genetic factor in rheumatic fever: Some families are much more likely to develop it. Researchers are looking for the reasons.
Rheumatic fever can cause:
There is no single test to diagnose rheumatic fever. Your child's doctor may use the modified Jones criteria to determine if your child has rheumatic fever. A child must have evidence of a prior strep infection, by throat culture or blood work, as well as labs that show inflammation in the body. That, combined with other physical findings, and signs of heart involvement, help make the diagnosis.
Your child's doctor may also order an electrocardiogram (ECG) and/or an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart). An ECG is done to look for abnormal electrical conduction through the heart; an echocardiogram is done to look for leaking heart valves, fluid in the sac around the heart or poor heart muscle function.
Penicillin, aspirin and other medicines are used to treat rheumatic fever. Children will have to stay on a low dose of penicillin for years to reduce the risk of recurrence. It is very important to prevent a recurrence because of the risk of more damage to the heart.
Carditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle and tissue, is the most serious result of rheumatic fever. Some children don't develop carditis, while others develop mild carditis that may not cause problems in the future.
However, some children develop severe carditis. The inflammation leads to scarring and permanent damage to the heart, particularly the heart valves. The mitral valve, which controls the flow of blood between the upper left chamber and the lower left chamber of the heart, is most often damaged. The aortic valve, which sends the blood from the left lower chamber out to the body, is the next most commonly affected heart valve. Leakage of the heart valves is the most common finding.
In later years, blockage of the mitral valve can occur due to scarring. If either valve starts to leak severely, surgery to repair or replace it may be necessary. Usually this isn't necessary before adulthood, but in severe cases, surgery during youth is necessary.
Children and teens who have serious rheumatic heart disease will need to see a cardiologist regularly for the rest of their lives. The doctor will monitor heart function so that, if problems develop, they can be addressed as quickly as possible.
Contact the Cardiac Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for a second opinion or for more information.

Let's Look at Branson
... large. After lunch we drove down the highway containing most of the tourist attractions but didn't stop at any. In the historic part of down town Branson we rode the tourist trolley; and then strolled around, going into several stores but buying very little. We did not find any shows that interested us, that were performing today, so we had dinner back at the camper and watched TV.
Civil War
... tour of the battlefield and surrounding area. Wilson's Creek played a significant role in the Civil War as it was the first major battle west of the Mississippi River. We enjoyed our short stay here as it was another piece of the amazing yet disturbing puzzle that is the Civil War. Leaving Wilson's Creek we headed south on US 65 and our next campground in Branson MO.
Historic Branson
Driving down the main street to Branson, MO reminded us of 'the strip' in Las Vegas-just with a country music flair. There are many shows here-variety, comedy, gospel music, country music, and magic shows to name a few. Our Lodge is a wonderful respite from the main street-spacious room, beautiful pool and lots of amenities. "Monkey in the middle" and volleyball were ...
Pea Ridge NMP
... far outside Pea Ridge we passed through the very touristy area of Eureka Springs. It reminded us of Helen, GA but a lot less charm and a lot more redneck. Seemed to be a nice enough place to get away for a few days, but we really didn't see much other than hotels & restaurants. Pea Ridge NMP is a Civil War Battlefield that is an interesting study in how forgetting the fundamentals of battle will get you killed. In addition to driving the loop road we did a 2-2.5 mile hike ...
Still in Eureka Springs
... in the house. The outside walls she covered in stones and built rock ornaments outside with stones, rocks, crystals. There is also a huge perennial garden outside too.
Supper was a Chicken Curry wrap with a side salad. Nothing to write home about but I devoured the salad. My body must be telling me something.

Hollywood long ago latched on to the idea that a crazy woman is a good plot piece for a thriller. That's not to say all women are crazy; many are in fact quite nice! It does however make for an interesting counterpoint to the legions of male centric slashers we have running out there.
With this week's release of "The Roommate", why not re-visit some of the other Crazy Ladies of Film!
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

RE: ASSE Comments on EPA Notice on Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program [March 16, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 51)]
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), members of ASSE's Environmental Practice Specialty have reviewed the two new documents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has included in the rulemaking docket (EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-0001) of its January 2006 proposal to establish new requirements to reduce exposure to lead hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint. EPA's own study, Characterization of Dust Lead Levels after Renovation, Repair, and Painting Activities, and the National Association of Home Builder's (NAHB) Lead-Safe Work Practices Survey Project are positive additions to the accumulation of knowledge EPA has gathered on this issue.
EPA's study was designed to compare the amount of lead dust remaining after the use of the proposed lead-safe work practices and after clean-up with the amount of lead dust remaining after typical work practices. The study confirmed that EPA's proposed work practices assist in reducing lead dust after projects are completed. The NAHB's study was intended to assess whether routine renovation activities increase lead dust levels and found that well trained workers following safe work practices do not create lead hazards in homes.
The principal author of the following discussion of how these new resources inform the original questions posed by EPA in its January 2006 rulemaking on this issue is Jeffery C. Camplin CSP, CPEA, REP, the Administrator of ASSE's Environmental Practice Specialty. Mr. Camplin's contributions are based on his long professional career in environmental risk assessment and remediation management, including first-hand experience as an EPA/HUD lead-based paint instructor and a State of Illinois licensed lead risk assessor.
Children can be exposed to unacceptable levels of lead paint dust when lead-safe work practices are not used in building where children enter or are adjacent to. Other areas children spend a significant amount of time include schools, churches, park district facilities, stores, hotels, hospitals, parks, restaurants, and playgrounds. Improper lead paint disturbance at or near these areas could also contribute to unwanted lead exposures in children. EPA should consider including these "other" areas where a significant amount of children spend time at or near them.
The proposed standard contains de minimus amounts (<2sq.ft) of lead paint disturbance. The safe work practices should be required anytime lead paint is disturbed. These work practices are easy to implement and ensure no unacceptable lead dust levels are generated during renovation activities. The de minimus levels should not be increased.
Incorporating the provisions of the proposed regulation into the abatement regulations is appropriate if the work practices are performance-based. Performance-based standards work well in the field as long as there are certain work practices that must always be followed and certain work practices that are prohibited. There are too many variations in residential renovation to exclude the use of safe work practices that perform in a manner equivalent to the performance expected by abatement.
Abatement implies through definition that a hazard exists. Hazards are defined as elevated dust levels on various surfaces (window sills, window wells, floors). The only way to demonstrate the hazard no longer exists is to verify the dust levels on surfaces through clearance dust wipe sampling. On the other hand, safe work practices do not presume a hazard exists. If safe work practices are followed it is assumed that no hazards will be generated. Therefore, clearance verification would be appropriate in lieu of clearance dust wipe sampling since no hazard had been previously identified.
EPA should consider a clearance requirement after post-emergency cleaning where safe work practices are not used or untrained workers respond to the emergency. Children should not be allowed in areas where lead-based paint has been disturbed without the use of safe work practices and/or properly trained workers. Clearance testing would confirm that no hazards were created by the emergency and/or the response. Clearance testing is always practicable prior to children re-entering areas where lead-based paint has been disturbed in an uncontrolled manner.
It is important that a certified renovator is responsible for project oversight and compliance with the work practices in the proposed regulations. However, it is a huge financial burden for contractors to assign a dedicated person to oversee safe work practices. The EPA should consider a requirement that a certified renovator visit the worksite at least once each shift and be available by phone while lead-safe work practices are taking place. The name and contact information of the certified renovator shall be available at the jobsite.
The proposed work practice standards do not adequately address the decontamination of workers and/or equipment involved with lead-safe work practices. Significant lead dust contamination can be tracked out of a work area if workers and/or equipment are not properly decontaminated. Also, workers with contaminated clothing can "take home" contamination to their own children. Finally, bringing lead-contaminated equipment to another jobsite could potentially create a lead hazard at a new site. High levels of lead dust were noted at containment exit areas during the testing performed in the "Final Draft Report" released by the EPA in January 2007. EPA should consider specifying minimum personal protective clothing (disposable suits) and minimum decontamination procedures for personnel and equipment. Decontamination procedures should include wet wiping and/or HEPA vacuuming all exposed surfaces, providing hand-washing facilities for workers, and protocols for verifying equipment removed from the work area has been properly cleaned. Similar cleaning/decontamination procedures, and verification are already specified in the proposed work practices for the work area containment and the exterior of waste bags. These same considerations should be specified for personnel and equipment to ensure "all personnel, tools and other items, including the exterior of containers of waste must be free of dust and debris when leaving the work area."
The EPA has accurately identified the problem of excessive cost and time involved with dust clearance testing. Safe work practices should not create lead hazards. Therefore, visual inspections and post-remediation cleaning verification should be adequate to achieve clearance goals on renovation projects.
Clean-up verification should be required to be signed off by a Certified Renovator prior to allowing children back into a renovation site where lead-based paint was disturbed. The clearance criteria should minimally be visual. EPA might consider the use of additional testing such as post-renovation cleaning verification and dust clearance testing based upon the size of a project or other criteria.
ASSE urges EPA to take these comments into consideration as it moves forward towards a final standard on lead-based work practices as quickly as is reasonably possible.
