Reliable Breast Cancer Guidance Online
Plenty of advice on the Web is outdated or misleading. One expert's picks:
As a medical reporter, I'm keenly aware that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Just last month, in fact, I misdiagnosed my husband's athlete's foot as a raging bacterial infection. While I usually rely on expert interviews for my ad hoc practice of medicine, most people nowadays turn to health websites. Research shows that nearly half of all breast cancer patients, for example, depend on the Internet to help guide their treatment decisions: Mammography or lumpectomy? Which chemotherapy drug to prevent recurrence? How much radiation?
Sites offering guidance on breast cancer are accurate about 95 percent of the time, according to a study published online today in the journal Cancer. But it's hard to tell which ones contain inaccurate information. One indicator: Those focused on alternative or complementary health remedies were more than 15 times as likely to contain gross errors. Study leader Elmer Bernstam of the University of Texas Health Science Center reads me some examples from two alternative-medicine sites:
- But the truth is, if you have the chemo you will die.
- One of the leading causes of breast cancer is antiperspirants and deodorants.
"Do you want more? I have more," he says. I ask him to instead name some sites breast cancer patients can really rely upon. He named these three:
"What about websites from the leading cancer centers?" I ask him, noting that he failed to mention M.D. Anderson's website, where his study coauthor and wife, Funda Meric-Bernstam, is affiliated. He tells me that these institutions have a hard time keeping their websites updated, so the information may be several months or years behind the state-of-the-art treatment being administered there. Meric-Bernstam agrees. "Breast cancer care is evolving so fast," she says. "So much has changed over the past five years with regards to surgery, diagnosis, and preventative chemotherapy." A previous study she conducted found that fewer than half of breast cancer websites had been updated over the past six months and even those that were updated often didn't contain the most current information.
If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, have you found any websites that have helped you make an informed treatment decision? Have you found any that have been misleading? Please add your comments.

Gain competitive advantage by increasing the value and lowering the cost of managing your data.
If your company is like most, you have plenty of data. You spend money gathering it, storing it, and maintaining it. But are you really getting all that you can out of it?
While many companies understand that their data is key to driving competitive advantage, most of them also know that they are not as effective as they could be at transforming it into a useful asset. The data is there, but it's fragmented across different systems - it's in the cloud, it's on the desktop, it's on mobile devices. In fact, it's everywhere and it's duplicated again, and again, and again. It's not delivering the value needed to improve operations and increase revenue. And, as it grows, the cost to manage it only increases.
Informatica's mission is to help our customers increase their competitive advantage by maximizing their Return on Data to drive their top business imperatives. We believe that if we can increase the value of data and lower the cost of data then our customers can maximize the return on their data, deliver new revenue at lower costs, increase margins and ensure unique competitive differentiation to their business.
Return on data is a simple equation: the value of data divided by the cost of data. While the equation may be simple, it's often difficult for organizations to achieve return on data because they don't have the right technology or strategies in place. They spend the majority of their time maintaining and managing existing systems, struggling to keep pace with the demands of the business. Informatica can help.
Informatica helps increase the value of data, by making data:
Informatica helps companies lower cost of data by reducing:
Our customers tell us that their most important asset is their data. Informatica helps them to maximize their Return on Data by increasing the value of their data, while lowering the cost of their data, with a comprehensive, unified, open, and economical platform that delivers top line value to the business and bottom line reduction in data costs.

Reports & Research
The Task Force's Policy Institute conducts groundbreaking research and policy analysis on hot-button issues affecting the LGBT community. We have everything from full reports to fact sheets to our very popular graphic issue maps. (Now in black and white AND color!)
If you know exactly what you're looking for, it's probably easiest for you to go to a particular section right off the bat: reports, issue maps, or fact sheets. But if you're not sure, or just want to look around, go to the main "Reports and Research" page . Under the "Featured Report" you'll see a search bar. You can either search for a report by name, or by type of report or by a particular issue. If you want to see everything we have to offer—and it is a lot—just look under the search bar. All of our publications are listed there in chronological order.
The Task Force and the Task Force Action Fund are continually coming out with new publications, so check back often for the latest up-to-the-minute facts and figures.
National Transgender Discrimination Survey .
Transgender and gender non-comforming people face shocking levels of discrimination in employment, education, health care and other areas. Read the just released results of this groundbreaking survey.
July 17, 2004Conservative elected officials, political leaders and columnists share why they oppose amending the constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
June 19, 2004This chart summarizes George W. Bush and John Kerry's stances on issues affecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
June 17, 2004Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) caregivers and care recipients still face discrimination at doctors' offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and other places we entrust with the care of our loved ones. Policies that embrace broad definitions of family and caregiving and recognize same-sex relationships would help to ease the burdens and strains of caregiving.
May 17, 2004Black political and religious leaders share why they support marriage equality.
May 17, 2004The rights of members of a stigmatized minority, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, should not be determined by the prejudices of the majority.
May 16, 2004The federal government alone accords 1,138 benefits and responsibilities based on marital status.
April 19, 2004Because Oregon same-sex couples are not able to legally marry, they are barred from rights heterosexual couples have had for years.
March 23, 2004When Massachusetts same-sex couples gained the right to legally marry, they gained access to rights heterosexual couples have had for years.
March 10, 2004The anti-gay religious right has targeted historically progressive Massachusetts, the only state where same-sex couples can legally marry.
December 14, 2003Transgender people are disproportionately represented in the homeless population because of the frequent discrimination they face at home, in school and on the job.
November 16, 2003Students today are coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender younger than ever before. What does this mean for public school education?
November 02, 2003In an effort to win more votes for George W. Bush and other Republicans in the 2004 election, conservatives marketed false anti-gay claims to black voters in swing states.
October 14, 2003'Marriage Protection Week' sponsors: Are they really interested in 'building strong and healthy marriages'?The "Marriage Protection Week" event is about voting for same-sex marriage bans, not about actually building strong and healthy families.
July 31, 2003A survey of how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters projected they would vote in the 2004 presidential election.
June 24, 2003This United States map indicates the presence and type (same-gender-only, versus opposite- and same-gender) of sodomy laws prior to the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision.
May 27, 2003The first comprehensive report of the positions of the 2004 Democratic presidential candidates on key lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues finds that while the candidates – as a group – hold the most pro-LGBT positions ever taken by a field of candidates for president, the majority are not leading but reflecting public opinion.
April 30, 2003College campuses are often stereotyped as liberal meccas of progressive ideals. But lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students, staff and faculty are not immune to harassment and discrimination.
April 19, 2003This United States map illustrates the complete absence of sodomy laws after the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision. This information has required no update since April 2003.
January 21, 2003This comprehensive report provides detailed information to state legislators, legislative staff, family policy advocates, activists and others interested in how public policies affect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) families.
September 30, 2002The Census identified 600,000 same-sex households in the United States. With this data we can more forcefully advocate for the policies that will bring about equality for our families.

Are you looking for ways to save energy and money on heating your Meridian ID area home this winter? Did you know that routine maintenance can actually save energy? Here are some ways that annual maintenance visits and small upgrades can help you cut back on energy use and your heating bills.
Contact Wickstrom Plumbing, Heating & Cooling for more tips or to schedule your yearly tune-up.
When one of our qualified technician tunes your system, the technician will test the efficiency levels of as part of this visit. The technician can also pinpoint areas in which you can improve your home. Weatherization doesn't just involve sealing and insulating. Having adequate ventilation and airflow is also important in maintaining efficiency. This is why we recommend that you change or clean your air filters often during the winter.
In addition to routine maintenance, another small upgrade is switching out your old dial thermostat with a new digital programmable thermostat. The old dial thermostats are probably what most people are familiar with. They use mercury to measure the temperature, which is why you have to dispose of them in a way that is approved by your local waste facility.
It's best to have a heating professional install any type of new thermostat since anyone who doesn't have experience installing heating equipment could damage the equipment or undergo personal injury. A professional will also know how to dispose of the old thermostat. Never throw out a mercury thermostat without checking with the local codes first.
Saving energy can as easy as calling us for your next maintenance service. By lowering your heating bills, you are also reducing your impact on the environment. Feel free to call the Meridian ID heating experts at Wickstrom Plumbing, Heating & Cooling any time. Why wait to start saving energy and money? Call today!

Skip to main content
Oral thrush is a very common infection in infants that causes irritation in and around a baby's mouth. It is caused by the overgrowth of the yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida albicans. Candida overgrowth can lead to vaginal (yeast) infections, diaper rashes, or oral thrush.
Most people (including infants) naturally have Candida in their mouths and digestive tracts, which is considered normal growth. The amount is controlled by a healthy immune system and some "good" bacteria. If the immune system is weakened (due to an illness or medicines like chemotherapy), or if the immune system is not fully developed as is the case in infants, the Candida in the digestive tract can overgrow and lead to an infection.
Sometimes Candida overgrowth occurs after a baby has received antibiotics for a bacterial infection, because antibiotics can kill off the "good" bacteria that keep the Candida from growing. Similarly, infection can occur with the steroid use.
Oral thrush can affect anyone, although it's most common in infants younger than 6 months and in older adults. A baby with oral thrush might develop cracked skin in the corners of the mouth or whitish patches on the lips, tongue, or inside the cheeks that look a little like cottage cheese but can't be wiped away. Scraping the white patches off can cause some bleeding.
Many babies don't feel anything at all, but some may be uncomfortable when sucking. Some babies may not feed well because their mouth feels sore.
Babies can have oral thrush and a diaper rash due to the same yeast at the same time.
Although oral thrush is a common infection in infancy, you can help prevent it: If you are formula-feeding your baby or using a pacifier, it's important to thoroughly clean the nipples and pacifiers in hot water or dishwasher after each use. That way, if there's yeast on the bottle nipple or pacifier, your baby doesn't continue to get re-infected. Storing milk and prepared bottles in the refrigerator prevents yeast from growing.
If you are breastfeeding and your nipples are red and sore, there's a chance you may have a yeast infection on your nipples, and that you and the baby are passing it back and forth. If so, you may want to talk to the doctor about using an antifungal ointment on your nipples while the baby is being treated with the antifungal solution.
Changing diapers frequently also prevents the fungal diaper rashes.
See your doctor if you think your baby may have thrush. Some cases go away without medical treatment within a week or two, but the doctor may prescribe an antifungal solution for your baby's mouth. This medication is usually applied by painting it on the inside of the mouth and tongue with a sponge applicator.
And depending on your baby's age, the doctor might suggest adding yogurt with lactobacilli to your child's diet. The lactobacilli are the "good" bacteria that can help eliminate the yeast in your child's mouth.
If your child keeps getting oral thrush, especially if he or she is older than 9 months, talk with your doctor because this might be an indication of another health issue.

Doc's Sports MLB Saturday Free Play!
Saturday MLB Free Play from Doc's Sports Take #965 Cleveland Indians over Toronto Blue Jays (Saturday, 1:05pm EST) Mark Buehrle goes for his fourth straight win to open the season today in Cleveland. The veteran left-hander is 3-0 with a miniscule 0.86 ERA and 0.90 WHIP coming into this game. While those are impressive numbers without question, Buehrle is getting way too much respect in the betting markets because of it. Buehrle is 35-years old and we already know what he is – a savvy control freak who knows how to attack a major league hitter. He didn't suddenly get any better in the offseason. He didn't add a new pitch, isn't throwing any harder and didn't discover the fountain of youth. Mark Buehrle is the same guy we saw last season when he finished 12-10 with a 4.15 ERA, and we should expect his numbers to be similar to this at the end of this season. He'll go up an Indians team that has an underrated lineup, so this could be the game where Buehrle comes back down to earth. Take the Indians today at a line that is below where it should be.

- Chronic pain and addiction 2011, KargerPatients with chronic pain understandably seek relief from their distress and discomfort, but many medications that alleviate pain are potentially addictive, and most chronic pain conditions only have a temporary response to opiate analgesic drugs. This volume reviews the fundamental topics that underlie the complex relationships of this controversial domain. The authors review behavioral models and practical methods for understanding and treating chronic pain and addiction including methods to formulate patients with complex comorbidity and screen patients with chronic pain for addictive liability. Finally, the authors describe the current findings from clinical and basic science that illuminate the role of opiates, cannabinoids and ketamine in the treatment of chronic pain. Up to date and comprehensive, this book is relevant to all professionals engaged in the care of patients with chronic pain or addiction and all others interested in these contemporary issues, particularly non-clinicians seeking clarity in the controversy over the best approach to patients with chronic pain.

Check out the comments too. :DA disclaimer from Meredith: When this letter arrived in my Love Letters InBox, it was too risqué to post on Boston.com (were a family website, after all). But because I believe the readers question is valid and worthy of our discussion, Ive decided to post it -- with all of the writer's R-rated phrases replaced by my G-rated euphemisms. I'm asking that you use my euphemisms in your comments so I can post them. I love a good euphemism, dont you?
Q: I am a 30 Year old male. I have been dating a wonderful woman for 2.5 years. I would describe everything about her as perfect except for one thing. She absolutely refuses to [make me a grilled cheese sandwich]. Now I want to ask her to marry me, but the thought of going the rest of my life without receiving [grilled cheese sandwiches] is definitely a worry. I fear I may resent her eventually, or possibly feel the need to seek [grilled cheese sandwiches] out somewhere else when enough time has passed. It has already been 2.5+ years since I last experienced a [grilled cheese sandwich]. It is starting to consume my thoughts. I don't know if this one thing is enough to be a deal-breaker. Everything else is perfect. I don't know what to do!
-- [Needing Grilled Cheese], Boston
A: NGC, have you talked to this woman about why shes so opposed to grilled cheese? Do her reasons seem valid and specific (past trauma, health issues, etc.)? Is there any room for negotiation? Has she always been opposed to grilled cheese or is it just specific to you?
You must tell her that the lack of grilled cheese is standing in the way of your commitment. I know its difficult to say it sounds so petty and selfish -- but Im here to tell you its a valid concern. Youve probably heard this before, but disagreements about sex and money are usually what end relationships. If youre resenting her now, fast forward 10 years. It will get worse.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are awesome. Especially with tomatoes and fancy cheese, like Brie. But some people would rather eat them than make them. And some people are allergic to them and cant go near them. ...

Hey there, welcome to Katyperryforum.com!If you like us, please consider donating so we can keep the Katycat love alive.
I hope I hear it on the radio.
Which song is the next single?"Who You Love." It's going to get the full-blown single/video treatment. Which it really deserves. Most songs fall off a bit in terms of my opinion of them as the months go by, but Who You Love is really an excellent song, performance, recording. It's good on every listen. A little tough in that the tune is a throwback slow groove, but quality beats a trend, at least in the way I like to believe in music.
It's good for John Mayer to have it as a single, and good for Katy to have writing credits, but I somehow feel that's as far as it should go. Appearing together in the video, idk, that may not be the best thing, I think as they are a couple in love with each other they should keep their work separate before it gets tacky and doesn't do much for either of them in the end. Bear in mind also it'll still be Mayer's video, not 'theirs'. They could both be in the video but not in the same shot perhaps, if they are literally together there, that's where I'd feel it becoming a bit embarrassing.
Can't believe it's the next single! So excited! It's such a good song and so beautifully written
Lovely photos, they remind me of Johnny and June

Did you mean?Try your search again
Has anyone stayed at this hotel? It seems quite nice, and a good option (ie. meaning it's well reviewwed, around the $100 range and close to the beach).
We're trying to decide between Coconut Grove and Villas Rio Mar, which seems like another great option.
I'm looking for someone interested in sharing a shuttle or taxi on March 27th 2014 from LIR to Samara. I land around 12:30 and plan on traveling straight to Samara. Thanks, Stephen
Hi. My boyfriend and I are staying the night of the 5th in San Jose as our flight arrives late, but from there I get a bit overwhelmed as to where we should go. The only thing we have figured out is to stay on the Pacific coast. He's been to Costa Rica before and spent time in Tamarindo/Liberia/Montezuma, so we're aiming south.
Initially my thought was to rent a house/cabin (or whatever) in the Mal Pais or Santa Teresa area for the entire time and just take day trips, but the more I look into it I'm leaning towards Manuel Antonio, or splitting the time between the 2 places (Manuel Antonio and Santa Teresa). Is it feasible to do the latter? I've never been to Costa Rica so I think my perception of distance is a bit off.
We're looking to mostly enjoy the outdoors on this trip (hike, surf, see some cool wildlife, relax, etc.). The ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera sounds like fun. Ideally if I could roll out of my bed and land directly on the beach that would be great. But we are in our late twenties and wouldn't mind some night life to socialize and make some new friends to party with a bit. That being said making Jaco our "home base" sounds too intense for us.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
how do you get from Heredia to Corcovado? Is there a some kind of trip possible? Since im travelling alone i would not mind a booked tour for 4 days or something.
Thank you very much. I would not want to miss Corcovado but its very hard to get there.

Hey All!
I will be volunteering at a school in Nosara from September til mid November and am looking for a place to stay. I like having people around. A shared apartment or anything like that would be great. Any ideas on how to find one?
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this airline?
Hi guys, I have planned a trip to Costa Rica end of May. Unfortunately I have ruptured my ACL in left knee. Till end of May my knee will recover but I won't have enough time for a surgery so I would have to travel without ACL. That means I'll be able to walk normally and taking stairs. But any non flat surface or unstable surface (as hanging bridges) could be a real problem.
I will obviously remove all physical activity from the trip. The main thing for me is to see the nature. Do you think it still worth to go? Would I be able to visit all natural parks and volcanos?
Thanks a ton!
I am a single traveler interested in finding a travel partner companion. So many places that I would like to visit penalize the single traveler and I am wondering if there is a source that is available for people like me?
Hello, VTers! We have decided that we're doing 4 nights and 5 days in the Dominical / Quepos / Manuel Antonio area.
We're trying to do it without a car, but I'm not sure if it would make things very inconvenient for us, and it's just not worth it do that area without a car.
We arrive in Quepos via shuttle on the morning of Day 1, and we plan to go straight to Dominical. Would you recommend taking a public bus, or taxi down to Dominical from Quepos, if we don't have a car?
Then we were planning on spending the day in Dominical and Uvita on Days 1 and 2. For Days 3 and 4, we were planning on moving up to Quepos and MA, and then we fly out to San Jose on Day 5.
Would you recommend staying in Quepos / MA for the entire 4 nights, and doing day trips down to Dominical and Uvita? Or is a good idea to spend 2 nights in Dominical, and then 2 nights in Quepos? Do you recommend a car to do this? Or do you think that public transport is adequate? The bus from Quepos to Dominical seems to take 2 hours.
Even in Dominical, it seems it's advisable that we have a car. We were hoping to find accommodations (around $100 per night) in Dominical, but I can't seem to find a good place right in town. The good places seem to be either over $150, or pretty shabby. The places that are reasonable and well rated seem to require a car, as they're just outside of Dominical (ex. Villas Rios Mar).
What are your thoughts in trying to do this area without a car?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi all, I know that there are hourly buses from San José to Ciudad Quesada. I need to go early in the morning from Alajuela to Los Chiles to catch the bus to Caño Negro at 14.00. When and where does the bus leave in Alajuela? I will travel on a sunday, are there fewer buses?
Hi, All! Our flight arrives at 10:45am, and there is a shuttle (Interbus) that leaves from San Jose to Arenal at 2:30pm. We have set plans to go to Arenal after landing in SJO.
We would like to buy our tickets for the shuttle, but are concerned that our flight may be delayed or something. We are thinking we'll just buy our ticket when we arrive at the airport, but do you think the shuttle will sell out? Is it advisable to purchase shuttle tickets beforehand?
