It's a slamming deal considering that an actual Stack Exchange employee is included and shipped directly to your house. They will personly answer any question you have to ask - no markdown required.
Kudos to Tim Stone for his detective skills!
We are currently running a promotion with New Relic. This shirt is actually FREE for those who deploy New Relic's software into their app (obviously you get a code to reduce the price to zero).
Unfortunately, there is a limitation in our store that doesn't allow us to enter promotional items at no cost, so.......we chose a price that would ensure that no one in their right mind would purchase the shirt - and judging by your reactions, the price is right.
If you want to run a business, you need some sort of exclusivity. I bought 5 of those bundles at $180, I'll be the only one on the block.
Those tax cheats. Relic is giving them away if you try their product, so they want them high priced so they can take a big write-off. Just another big corporation sticking it to the little guy! OCCUPY STACK OVERFLOW!
It's been updated!

New Website Launches for Teacher Leader Model Standards
National Consortium Focuses on Creating Stronger Career Pathway for Teachers
- Contact:

Princeton, N.J. (January 10, 2012) —
The Teacher Leadership Exploratory Consortium has launched its new website — www.teacherleaderstandards.org — to build a peer-to-peer network around the Teacher Leader Model Standards, share best practices and offer resources for educators, including webinars, blogs, text and video examples that will bring the standards to life.
The website is a tool that will help to stimulate an ongoing dialogue among stakeholders of the teaching profession about what constitutes the knowledge, skills and competencies that teachers need to assume teacher leadership roles in their schools, districts and the profession.
Ali Kliegman, Policy Associate, Center for Teaching Quality said, "Teacher leadership is not a new concept. Until we begin to cultivate, support and spread the knowledge and expertise of those who have mastered this craft, we will continue to miss the mark on achieving great gains with students."
CTQ designed the website on behalf of the Teacher Leader Exploratory Consortium, and six teacher leaders created the content which includes an overview of the standards and its seven domains along with exemplars of those domains and their functions. In addition, the site incorporates social media components through Facebook® and Twitter® to further facilitate collaboration among teachers, administrators, policymakers and other stakeholders in determining the knowledge, skills and competencies teachers need in order to become leaders in their schools and districts.
"The Teacher Leader Model Standards provide a framework for understanding and promoting teacher leadership," said Sarah Henchey, sixth-grade English Language Arts teacher. "All stakeholders in education can use these standards to create dialogue about how to elevate teachers' voices within their schools, districts and states. We hope these stakeholders will share their conversations through our virtual community and add to the website's content by sharing their own teacher leader exemplars."
Henchey has been leading the work of the exemplar content development as a Virtual Community Organizer (VCO) and the virtual community of teacher leaders who will be responding to and providing additional exemplars for the standards.
The Teacher Leadership Exploratory Consortium is recruiting interested teacher leaders for a virtual leadership community expected to launch early this year. Those interested should visit: http://www.teacherleaderstandards.org/contact.
The Consortium was formed over two years ago to explore opportunities to provide meaningful positions for teacher leaders in the nation's schools and focus on teachers who seek leadership roles, but do not want to leave the classroom.
For the complete list of the Teacher Leader Model Standards and the Teacher Leadership Exploratory Consortium members, visit www.teacherleaderstandards.org. The website funders are University of Phoenix, Education Commission of the States (ECS), Educational Testing Service (ETS), National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
"We proudly contributed to the building of the Teacher Leader Model Standards website. ETS believes that developing career continuums — offering teachers advancement opportunities while staying in the classroom — will increase retention, encourage interest in teaching and will ultimately impact student learning," said Linda Tyler, Vice President for Teacher Licensure and Certification at ETS.
The standards are already being used for curriculum for higher education coursework, establishing roles in schools, drafting legislation and state-specific standards, and for professional development for both teachers and school leaders.

NAMIBIA: Caprivi Buffalo Hunts in Namibia with Van Heerden Safaris
Hi Guys,
Just back from 10 day cape buffalo hunt in the Caprivi with VAN HEERDEN SAFARIS
Van Heerden Safaris have hunting rights for the Dzoti tribal conservancy, which is one of the few areas where you can still hunt four of the big five in Namibia.
I caught a connecting flight from the capital Windhoek up to Katima Mulilo Airport at Mpacha, from which they arranged transfer to the hunting camp.
Dzoti hunting concession is one of the youngest registered conservancies but definitely one of the most promising big game hunting areas in Namibia. The area comprises of 250 km square and borders directly with three major National Parks, with Mudumo National Park in the North-West as the border.
The south 殆estern limit is Mamili National Park with its complex channel of reed beds, lakes and islands that make up the Linyanti swamps. The south eastern border is the Linyanti River of which the opposite shoreline belongs to the world renowned Chobe National Park of Botswana.
Here spectacular herds of Elephant, Buffalo and Red Lechwe are some of the highlights. Plenty of Hippopotamus, big Crocodiles, Reedbuck and the more elusive Sitatunga are at home here.
The hunting territory ranges from relatively open Mopani woodland to swampy reed marshland. We regularly saw large herds of buffalo but the big Dagga boys love to hide up during the day on islands surrounded by swamp, before venturing out as night falls, to raid the locals maize crops. Needless to say the tribes people are very keen for paying hunters to take out these raiders and provide the people with fresh meat!!
Problem and meat animal hunts are occasionally available at short notice, so for hunters who cannot afford trophy hunts, it is certainly worth enquiring about problem animal availability, as these hunts can be had at up to half the full trophy fee rates.
For hunters who like a challenge, sneaking up on the big Dagga boys lying up in the swamps during the day is tricky to say the least, but a hell of a lot of fun!!
I reckon its all part of the deal hunting this late in the season, but you must be prepared to get wet, muddy and eaten alive by mozzies. If that all sounds a bit daunting, then I suggest you stick to the relatively easy going, early morning stalks on the bigger mixed sex herds.
The professional hunters, Hentie and Falco will guide you in selecting one of the big bulls that lead the herd, as they graze across the lightly wooded Mopani grass lands.
The herd I shot my bull from had at least ten trophy size bulls as big, if not bigger, than the one I shot with the .375 I borrowed from the PH.
Both, Hentie and Falco are experienced, reputable hunters and regularly guide clients on Elephants, so their back up weapons of choice are a .458 Brno and .500 custom Jeffery open sighted rifles, for close quarters stopping power.
The hunting accommodation is presently a tented camp with comfortable beds and good toilet and shower facilities in each tent. There is a communal tent for meals and the essential celebratory drinks after a successful days hunting.
Their cook constantly impressed us with the standard of her cuisine and the rest of the staff took good care of house keeping duties, including washing my muddy trousers, ready for the next days hunting.
I had a great time hunting plains game with Hentie Van Heerden previously in Damaraland, but there痴 nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of hunting dangerous game species like Cape Buffalo, Elephant, Hippo and Crocodile.
If cats is your thing, they also have Lion and Leopard on quota.
Van Heerden Safaris have other conservancies in Namibia and also offer plains game ranch hunts for springbok , warthog, kudu, oryx, red hartebeast and zebra.
Here痴 a few pics to give you the flavour!!

I completely forgot about this deal, and I did purchase a new PRS during the promotional period. Is it too late to send in my "order"?
Yeah, mine came today.
Thanks PRS!
Got back from my business trip and it was waiting for me...thanks PRS!
Holy strings...
Is the cable that was shipped with the Thank You package the same one in this thread?
I have several Mogami cables, and my patch cables for the pedal board are Mogami.
Never seen a noiseless cable like this 18' one included, it is very nice, and has the Neutrik ends on it too.
I noticed the red end that goes into the guitar has a sliding thing on the plug, that is what stops the signal when you pull the jack out, very cool.
Never seen this before, and you would think Mogami and others would do the same.
No luck finding these cables with Google, I just get the regular PRS ones.
Hey, found one.
I switched Google's search to show pictures, and down the page was one with the red end.
Will these also be sold directly from the PRS site, or do you go through a dealer?
Nothing yet...darn!
Also, did I mention HOLY STRINGS!
If they had the new SECU24s in stock sooner I would have done it again...
No right angles on my cord, and I think mine goes for around $50 or so that I got.
Did you have the Thanks You package for an SE model, or the Signature Limited that is in your sig?
My Mogamis have a straight end on one end, and a right angle on the other end.
Mine was for the Siggy, so sounds like there were different cables for the SE/Maryland packs. Says they are made by VanDamme. Helluva deal either way.
The "Thank You" package includes a PRS cable. Some have straight jacks, some have right angle jacks, some have silent jacks and some normal jacks.
All PRS cables are available from your local dealer or directly from PRS.
Got my package today - other than some spillage of the fretboard cleaner that soaked the corner of the shipping box (despite being in a plastic bag inside) I'm a happy camper! Maybe now I'll change strings more than once a year...
I missed out....
STARTED my search during the promotion but didn't get it done in time. Oh well.... Got the right guitar! :D
I maiiled my paperwork on July 7th. I have not received mine yet. I asked for .009 - .042 strings. I hope the Thank You Package arrives soon. I'm ready for a string change.
I got an SE Acoustic Thank You Pack, and it had one angled end on my cable, also made by Van Damme. I dig it... a lot more supple then my braided Dimarzios!
The strings were also D'Addario, which I was surprised to see. I figured they would be PRS branded!
My strings said PRS on the package, but I did not look closely to see if they were made my anyone else.
I got my package within 3 weeks of mailing. Awesome deal, thanks PRS!!!
Hey Shawn, is there any way to check if my package is in process? I sent my receipt about a month ago. Happy to send someone an email to follow up.
sure just shoot your info to our customer service email and we'll check into it tomorrow.
Why, it's a major award!!
Thank you for the thank you pack!
Email sent, TYVM!

It's fortunate that Gillian Larner was at her 11-year-old son's bedside in the hospital after his surgery in May 2002.
When a nurse prepared to give Tony, who has type 1 diabetes, an injection of insulin, Larner reportedly questioned her about the amount of liquid in the syringe. Larner claims to have prevented a large, potentially lethal overdose of insulin by her actions, saying the nurse was about to give Tony 70 units of insulin—10 times the correct dose of 7 units. The hospital immediately began an investigation.
This reported incident happened in Birmingham, England, but similar mistakes occur everywhere, making insulin errors the number one medication error in hospitals in the United States.
To Err Is Human
Danger lurks in the stroke of a pen. The cause of many insulin errors is related to the use of abbreviations in written orders. According to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), "the abbreviation 'U' for 'units' has often been misread as a zero, resulting in serious, tenfold overdoses."
The institute reports a case in which a home health nurse gave 41 units of Regular insulin after misreading a written order for "4 IU." In that case, the abbreviation "IU" was intended to signify international units. The ISMP concludes that if the word "units" had been written out instead of being abbreviated as "IU," the proper dose would probably have been given. Luckily, the patient was not harmed.
Another reported insulin error case shows an additional way the "U" notation can be mistaken: A pharmacist received a handwritten order for "Humulin U." The pharmacist, who more commonly saw orders for Humulin N insulin, processed the order for NPH insulin but caught the error before the medication was dispensed.
The ISMP recommends that the full insulin name, Ultralente, be written out in orders to prevent this type of confusion. It notes that the manufacturer's labeling of insulin vials as Humulin N, Humulin U, or Humulin R, for example, invites the shortcut when handwriting an insulin type.
Med Error Busters
One diabetes care team decided to tackle the problem of medication errors head on.
In 1998, the Portsmouth Regional Hospital's Diabetes Resource Center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was informed of a medication error related to a dose of insulin. Daniel Crowe, MD, CDE, who is the medical director, and Melinda E. Leighton, RN, BSN, CDE, diabetes clinical manager, realized the potential for similar errors in the future if physicians wrote the letter "U" to indicate units of insulin and nurses or pharmacists misread the abbreviation as a zero, a 4, or a 6, leading to a tenfold or greater error. They formed a multidisciplinary task force drawing on the input of diabetes educators, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and administrators.
"Realizing that we could improve the quality of care for our patients with diabetes, the task force went beyond its initial focus of developing a preprinted order sheet [see sample] and banning the use of 'U' as an abbreviation and took on the task of educating all hospital personnel and patients on the benefits of tight blood glucose control."
The resulting Diabetes Care Committee continues to monitor the safety and quality of care of patients with diabetes.
During hospital orientation sessions, Leighton gives all new nurses a button to wear with the letter "U" crossed out (see photo) and the instruction that only the word "units" is to be used—no abbreviation accepted.
Spreading the Good Word
In addition to their local efforts, Dr. Crowe wrote a letter to the editor of Diabetes Care, journal of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), that was published in October 2001, asking the ADA to be a role model in helping to promote medication safety.
The letter suggested that ADA journals use the word "units" instead of the letter "U" for insulin doses and cited changes that need to be made throughout the healthcare delivery system to improve safety. The editor responded that, as a result of this letter from Dr. Crowe, all ADA professional publications will now spell out "units" in text.
The 1999 publication of the Institute of Medicine's review of medical errors, "To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System," along with the publication of Michael Cohen's book "Medical Errors," highlights the impact medical errors have on the healthcare system and the possible fatal outcomes for individual patients. Insulin has been cited repeatedly as one of the medications most frequently involved in errors. Both sources single out insulin as the medication with the greatest likelihood for harm when errors occur.
Not Just in Hospitals
There is a long way to go to improve safety.
A few months ago, a pharmacist colleague called to ask me about the administration of Lantus (insulin glargine). A friend of hers had expressed concern about giving her husband four injections for his first dose. The woman's husband was undergoing steroid treatment for a serious lung condition.
As a result of the steroid treatment, he now had elevated blood glucose. The pulmonary specialist sent the patient to his primary care doctor for treatment. The doctor wrote an order for insulin but failed to refer the man to a diabetes educator to be taught about injections.
The patient's wife took the prescription to a pharmacy to be filled. She was given a vial of Lantus labeled "200 units, once daily, subcutaneous" and a box of 0.5 cc insulin syringes that can hold only up to 50 units each. Because her husband was feeling so ill, she prepared to give him the first injection. When she realized that it would take four syringes of insulin and, therefore, four injections to give the first dose of 200 units, she called our mutual pharmacist friend for advice before giving any of the insulin.
Those small syringes and her reluctance to stick her husband four times very possibly saved him from severe hypoglycemia or death.
By now, you probably realize that the original dispensing pharmacist misread the doctor's handwritten "Lantus 20 U" as "Lantus 200."

Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel tennis team will be looking for its first Southern Conference win of the season as it takes on Furman on Tuesday at the Mickel Tennis Center. The match will begin at 3 p.m.
Last Time Out
The Bulldogs were shutout by Appalachian State last Thursday. As a result The Citadel dropped to 5-14 overall and 0-7 in the SoCon and David Orces' eight-match winning streak was halted.
Bulldogs vs. Paladins
The Citadel has never defeated Furman, as the Paladins own a 21-0 all-time series advantage. The teams meet twice last season, and in the first meeting Furman blanked the Bulldogs to earn the Paladins' first win of the season. The second showdown came in the first round of the SoCon Tennis Championships. The No. 11 seed Bulldogs dropped a 4-1 decision to the No. 6 seed Paladins. The lone point for The Citadel came in the No. 3 singles position as James Atkinson defeated Andrei Chvetso 6-0, 6-4.
The Paladins, 7-12 overall and 4-2 in the Southern Conference, are currently on a three-match winning streak having defeated Georgia Southern, Elon and Davidson. The team is led by junior Andrew Mellow. In the top spot for Furman, Mellow is 9-9 this season and 3-3 in league play. The St. Louis, Mo., native was awarded SoCon Men's Tennis Player of the Week for matches played Feb. 27 through March 4 and is ranked 122nd nationally among all Division I players in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll. In doubles the duo of Alex Christ and Joel Cook own a 5-10 record to lead all Paladins.

It's not every high school football season that a team receives a bolt of lightning to send it on a trajectory even opponents never thought possible.
That's the impact 6-foot-4 junior quarterback Brad Kaaya might have at West Hills Chaminade after being inserted into the starting lineup last week against Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. He completed 20 of 24 passes for 362 yards and one touchdown in a 35-27 victory.
"I've always believed I could do it," Kaaya said.
Chaminade (4-1) has relied on the running of standout tailback Terrell Newby. Adding Kaaya to the mix presents all kinds of new challenges for opponents.
"They look a little different. They look a little more explosive," said Gardena Serra Coach Scott Altenberg, whose team plays the Eagles on Friday night in a Mission League opener.
Kaaya transferred to Chaminade from Encino Crespi in January. He has shared time with senior Reggie Reed. A rib injury slowed his progress, but when the Eagles had a bye week, he made major improvement, causing Coach Ed Croson to give him a shot as a starter.
Now the possibilities are endless if he performs like he did against Notre Dame and isn't a one-game wonder.
"We're going to find out," Croson said. "We feel it's a legitimate him."
Earning a scholarship
Who says you can't earn a scholarship based on your performance during your senior year? Yes, it's tough these days with college recruiters accepting commitments from players who are sophomores and even freshmen, but Mossi Johnson of Los Angeles Crenshaw proved this season that a senior who works hard can be impressive enough to land an offer.
UCLA made that offer last week, and Johnson committed on Wednesday night. He has been a standout receiver and defensive back for the Cougars (4-1) and had two interceptions in an upset victory over Westlake Village Oaks Christian.
"I'm going to come in as an athlete, and they'll find a position for me," Johnson said.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound senior is thrilled with the way things turned out.
"I guess I did earn the offer," he said.
Excitement in Palmdale
If you're looking for a player college recruiters will be excited about from the class of 2014, junior running back Demario Richard of Palmdale fits the criteria.
He has rushed for 850 yards and scored 12 touchdowns for the 5-0 Falcons.
"He's one of those kids who can do it all," Coach Jeff Williams said. "He's big enough to run over opponents, he can run around them and he has great vision."
Freshman to watch
Running back Leo Lambert III is playing on the Notre Dame freshman team and earning rave reviews.
He's averaging 12 yards a carry and has rushed for 727 yards and scored 15 touchdowns in five games for the Knights (5-0).
No. 300
John Barnes, the football coach at Los Alamitos since 1979, was trying for his 300th coaching victory Thursday against Huntington Beach Marina. He'd become the fourth coach in state history with 300 or more victories, joining Bob Ladouceur of Concord De La Salle, Marijon Ancich of Santa Fe Springs St. Paul and Herb Meyer of Oceanside.
Making principal smile
One of the best players on the Newhall Hart freshman football team is kicker Andrew Nielsen, the son of Principal Collyn Nielsen. He had a 34-yard field goal last week. "I've never seen a freshman boot the ball into the end zone like he has," varsity Coach Mike Herrington said.
Hart's freshman and junior varsity teams are unbeaten, but the varsity team is only 4-1. "It boils down to the head man. I'll take all the blame," Herrington said.

Personally, I say bring back the beer barrel trophy, but I understand and respect why they don't. I'm fine with that. There is a difference between college kids playing for a beer barrel and Coach Cal helping promote the bourbon industry. Bourbon is one of the signature products and industries of Kentucky. The UK basketball coach transcends coaching basketball and is an ambassador for the state--something that Cal does marvelously and Billy G failed at miserably. I think it's good that he is working to promote that industry (and yes, I'm sure he's getting paid for that too), just as it is good that he is raising and giving money today for the small town of West Liberty today and with the Alumni game. So, I guess, if it's a mixed message, it only is so if you don't look past the surface.
SEC West Football
1. Which Alabama player is most like Nick Saban? AJ McCarron. "They're just like brothers."
2. Auburn has "already put a good chunk of time" into their first few gameplans.
3. Through 15 practices at Arkansas, safety Ross Rasner says "everybody's a little banged up."
4. Nick Holt — the man filling the job left vacant by Jessica Dorrell's departure — took on the administrative role in Fayetteville to help old pal John L. Smith.
5. LSU's offense put up big, big numbers in yesterday's scrimmage.
6. Les Miles didn't let his team do their traditional "hit the bars after the final scrimmage" thing last night… the annual activity that led to Jordan Jefferson's arrest last year.
7. Hugh Freeze was pleased with Ole Miss' Thursday practice session.
8. It's time to shift from camp mode to game mode at Mississippi State.
9. Johnny Manzeil's confidence helped him win the starting quarterback job at Texas A&M.
SEC East Football
1. Freshman linebacker Antonio Morrison has caught the eye of Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
2. Quinn also likes the work of freshmen D-linemen Dante Fowler and Jonathan Bullard.
3. Christian LeMay is getting more reps behind Aaron Murray at Georgia.
4. UGA's tailbacks are all bunched together at the moment.
5. The Dawgs' "dream team" signing class of 2011? Uh, yeah… not so dreamy.
6. This writer says Joker Phillips' seat at Kentucky isn't as hot as Derek Dooley's at Tennessee.
7. New defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward is allowing his South Carolina defenders to be more aggressive.
8. After a week off campus at small Milligan College, Tennessee's players "came back a new team."
9. The Volunteers' final scrimmage today will focus on situational football. (No surprise… Bill Belichick begat Nick Saban and Nick Saban begat Derek Dooley.)
10. Vanderbilt's James Franklin admitted that he doesn't do his own voting in the USA Today Coaches' Poll, but he does look it over before a staffer sends it in.
SEC Basketball
1. Florida and Kentucky will take part in a pair of hoops tournaments in 2017 to celebrate the 80th birthday of Nike founder Phil Knight.
2. A little fanfare please… John Calipari has announced the number assignments for his team this year. (Only at Kentucky would this be a news story. Not a knock. A fact.)
SEC/College News
1. "The SEC's critics insist that it's top-heavy and that it's really a league comprised of two or three heavyweights and a lot of mediocre teams after that."
2. Another writer — this one from Alabama! — believes Bill Curry would be a perfect fit for the imaginary role of college football commissioner.
3. Longtime Aggie player, coach and administrator John Thornton is retiring from Texas A&M.
4. Russ will continue to serve as a fill-in for Uga as Georgia's mascot.
5. Kentucky and Tennessee won't bring back their Beer Barrel trophy, but Coach Cal will be signing more limited-edition bourbon bottles this year. Mixed messages, anyone?
6. Yahoo! Sports' Pat Forde says the situation at North Carolina might cause "the 'new NCAA' to flex its precedent-setting muscles again."

Maybe I should have called this my "Summer Farmers Market Pasta." It's full of the vegetables I brought home from the farmers market on Saturday. Like many of my recipes, it can be altered based on what you've got on hand. I almost threw in some Swiss chard (my green of choice these days) and some brilliant yellow crookneck squash, but I decided to save those for another day and another dish.

Oral Health Topics
Cancer, Oral
To find information about the topic listed on this page, please visit the MouthHealthy.org page about Oral Cancer.
Routine, careful examination of patients for oral and pharyngeal cancer, in addition to an updated health history, can easily be achieved during a regular dental visit. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research describes one method.1 The stage at which an oral or pharyngeal cancer is diagnosed is critical to the course of the disease. When detected at its earliest stage, these cancers are more easily treated.
Facts About Oral Cancer
Incidence and Mortality
According to statistics available through the National Cancer Institute2:
- Oral and pharyngeal cancer strikes an estimated 39,000 Americans each year. An estimated 8,000 people die of these cancers annually.
- The disease occurs twice as often in men as in women.
- Although the difference between races in oral and pharyngeal cancer is negligible, the 5-year survival rate doubles for white men over African American men (the difference in survival rates between women is not significant).
- An estimated 1 in 95 adults will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer in their lifetime.
- The median age at diagnosis is 62 years (that figure may drop to 52 to 56 years for people who have oral or pharyngeal cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.3-7)
Risk Factors
- Tobacco use8,9
- Alcohol consumption9,10
- Heavy use of tobacco and alcohol together greatly increases the risk of developing oral and pharyngeal cancer11,12
- HPV infection is associated with oropharyngeal cancer13,14
- Age: the risk greatly increases after 44 years2
- Gender: men are twice as likely to develop oral and pharyngeal cancer2
- Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is a particular risk factor for lip cancer15
- Nutrition: a diet rich in vegetables and fruits is associated with a lower incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer16
Signs and Symptoms
Leukoplakia or erythroplakia
A lump or thickening of the oral soft tissues, or swelling that affects the fit and comfort of dentures
Patients may complain of: difficulty chewing or swallowing, or moving the jaw or tongue; a sore throat or feeling that something is caught in the throat; numbness; hoarseness or a change in the voice.
Signs and symptoms that persist for two weeks or more merit further investigation, such as a biopsy or referral to a specialist.

After nine months of incredible growth and changes both in the mother and the fetus, labor (contractions of the uterus) may finally start, signaling the pending birth of the baby. Many women fear the prospect of delivering their child. Part of this fear may be attributed to the unknown, especially in first pregnancies. Instead, be proactive and consider discussing the following questions with your care provider before labor begins:
Just as prenatal development occurs in several stages, so does the delivery of a baby. Listed in the directory below, you will not only find information regarding the different stages of labor, but also the importance of providing appropriate postpartum (also called post-delivery) care for the new mother and the newborn, for which we have provided a brief overview.
If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Pregnancy & Childbirth Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.

One fan at the gathering of the Central Florida Gator Club on Wednesday night asked when "sexy wins" would start being the norm instead of the aberration.
In another time and another place, Will Muschamp, the emotional, passionate head coach of the University of Florida, might have taken umbrage and become defensive. But not this Will Muschamp. On this night, Muschamp simply smiled confidently at the inquisitor and replied, "I just want to win."
The packed house at the Cheyenne Saloon in downtown Orlando roared its approval. The place was packed to the rafters with UF fans who cheered Muschamp's every word, laughed at his one-liners and waited in line to get his autograph.
"He's winning everybody over," Gator Club President Chris Carmody said. "I think fans are starting to realize how good a coach he is."
They better.
Before it's too late.
If Carmody is right – and I hope he is – maybe Florida fans are finally starting to understand what they have in Muschamp -- one of the top coaches and recruiters in all of college football.
There seems to be a feeling among many Florida fans that Muschamp is lucky to be coaching the Gators, but maybe the Gators need to realize they are lucky to have him as their coach.
Does Gator Nation realize how much in demand Muschamp is – and will be? Do UF fans understand he could have taken jobs at Clemson, Tennessee and Washington before accepting the Florida job? Do they know that if the aging Mack Brown left Texas today, Muschamp would be the first call made by UT Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds? Do they comprehend that if Nick Saban for some reason left Alabama that Muschamp might be the leading candidate to replace his former boss?
Of all the Saban disciples out there, Muschamp is the one who seems more like Saban than any of 'em. He is defensive-minded, ultra-organized and even uses the system of charts and graphs for evaluating recruits that Saban does. It's not just coincidence that since Muschamp left Texas as the defensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting that the Longhorns have seen their recruiting fortunes plummet while Muschamp has proven in two years to be one of the top recruiters in college football.
Not only that, but Muschamp somehow, someway coaxed 11 victories last year out of a team that didn't have a legitimate offensive star. Florida's offense ranked 103rd in the nation, but still UF was miraculously in the running to play in the national championship game until the final weekend of the regular season when Notre Dame beat Southern Cal.
"I get your e-mails," Muschamp told the Gator Club. "I know how you want to throw the ball vertically on every down. But you have to have somebody to catch it, and you have somebody to block."
Muschamp inherited a program devoid of discipline, depth and experience and took UF to a BCS bowl in two seasons. Yes, Urban Meyer left him some young talent, but Muschamp and his staff developed the talent to the point where the Gators had eight players taken in the latest NFL draft – the third-most in modern school history.
And unlike Meyer -- who used to call Florida his "dream job" -- Muschamp really seems to mean it. If anybody is a Gator, Muschamp is. He grew up just a mile from Florida Field. He and his brothers walked to games on Saturday afternoons and dreamed about playing for the Gators someday. Muschamp, of course, ended up playing for Georgia, but only because the Gators weren't interested in him.
"This is the only place where my sons can play at the same Boy's Club I used to play at," Muschamp says. "I grew up a Gator in Gainesville. This is where my childhood memories are."
When asked if UF is his dream job, he replied without hesitation: "Absolutely. No doubt."
So let's review, shall we? The Gators have one of their own leading their program; they have a coach who can recruit talent, develop talent, coach talent and win with that talent.
Granted, Muschamp has to win championships, and he knows it.
"Until we do that," he says, "what have we really accomplished?"
In two years, I'd say he's accomplished quite a lot.
The question is do UF's fabulously finicky and spectacularly spoiled fans realize it?

Thousands remain without power in eastern SDTens of thousands of people remained without electricity in eastern South Dakota early Thursday as a spring storm pounding the state entered its third day.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Tens of thousands of people remained without electricity in eastern South Dakota early Thursday as a spring storm pounding the state entered its third day.
Xcel Energy crews had restored power by late Thursday morning to nearly 48,000 people, but another 20,000 remained in the dark, the utility said. Officials said they expected "significant progress" Thursday and that most customers would have electricity restored by late Friday.
Another 2,200 homes and businesses served by rural electric cooperatives remained in the dark Thursday morning.
Sioux Falls got about half a foot of snow overnight after two days of freezing rain that coated power lines and tree branches with nearly three quarters of an inch of ice. City officials declared a snow alert and said snowplows would be out in force.
The bad weather was forecast to extend into southeastern North Dakota, with up to 10 inches of snow expected by Thursday night.
Officials said travel was difficult early Thursday in Sioux Falls. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Pete Nowacki told the Argus Leader newspaper that mail delivery in some areas of South Dakota's largest city might be delayed by a day or more.
The possibility of roof collapses was another concern. KVLY-TV reported that a dozen firefighters in North Dakota's largest city, Fargo, were on standby to help their counterparts in Sioux Falls, who had responded to about 300 fire, rescue and assistance calls during the storm.
With all of the downed trees and power lines in Sioux Falls, "It looks like a tornado went through here," Levi Broker, 14, told KELO-TV.
Tree service companies in the area said they were swamped with hundreds of calls.
"The working conditions are just plain miserable," Landon Poppens told the Argus Leader. "Ice-laden limbs are falling on you. The ground is frozen. It's hard to get equipment to certain trees. Roofs are icy. These are extremely bad working conditions."
Working conditions also were poor for electrical linemen. More than 250 electrical poles in the region had been downed by the ice and snow storm, according to the South Dakota Rural Electric Association.
National Weather Service reports showed snowfall totals in western South Dakota from the storm that began Tuesday were even higher than those in the east — reaching 30 inches in Deadwood. Rapid City had nearly that much, and set snowfall records two straight days.
Lead got more than 26 inches of snow, but resident Brenda McGruder told the Black Hills Pioneer that she didn't mind the conditions.
"I like snow. I always enjoy snow," she said. "It's where I live. It's South Dakota. It's going to snow. I'm thankful for the moisture."

Some weeks I feel like a sophisticated lady, all fancy and stuff.
This has been one of them for sure.
I received my photos from the shoot I did with the undeniably adorable and talented Andrea Hausmann at the end of January.
Some of them are cute and the others show the true colours of my inner-Italian-Cougar/MILF. They are cheese-o-rific and I'm loving them.
This Saturday night I sang in a brilliant Burlesque Show at Café Campus. If you were one of the beautiful faces that were at the show, I love you and I thank you forever and always for being such a sweet and inspiring audience.
If you couldn't make it out but wanted to, you're in luck because here is a repeat show this coming Saturday, the 18th of February.
A little Glimpse of backstage:
Everyone who performed was honestly brilliant and, as always, it was an honour to share the stage with such a talented and beautiful bunch.
The show was over early enough that I was home and tucked into bed with the kitties and a bar of salted dark chocolate (no I didn't eat the whole thing… I saved half for tonight) in time to watch Saturday Night Live.
At 6 o'clock in the freegn' morning. I was rudely awakened by Boots/Gus/BowTie/Whose-Cat-Is-That when he suddenly (and quite loudly) decided that he was dying of thirst.
After fresh water was poured and passive-aggressive words were shared, I made myself a soy latte, unpacked my costume, threw a load of laundry in the wash and cleaned the house.
I worked on a couple of top secret songs for a couple of top secret acts I have planned for this spring/summer.
And then had a nice looooooooong soak in the tub, gave myself a mani-pedi and opened a bottle of wine.
I HUGELY appreciated both the *gesture and the deliciousness of the ultra-gourmet Veggie-Chicken burger, all-dressed, with fried mushrooms, that Cloee (Thing 3) Cheffed-up for us tonight.
"We're celebrating, Mommy, for your last supper"
"Sweetie, it's not my LAST supper. I'm only fasting for a day and a half"
Because apparently there is such thing as too much glamour.
Because at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning – Which would be this morning that you are reading this – I begin fasting, in preparation for the very sexy Valentine's Day plans I have.
That's right, this year, for Valentine's Day, I will be doing something I have never ever in my life done.
*Yup, On February 14th, 2012, I plan to have the fanciest, most glamorous and sexiest colonoscopy anyone has ever had.
"Valentine's Day? Seriously? You totally planned this on purpose didn't you?" Accused Alicia. "Seriously, who did you pay to hook this up?"
I wish I could take credit for this beauty but in all honesty…
That's. Just. My. Luck.
Don't worry, I'll keep you guys intimately posted, every step of the way.
You're welcome.
But for tonight, I have the Grammy's, a glass of Barefoot and half a bar of chocolate calling me.

Jennifer Lawrence is such a good pal that she's trying to help one of her friends get lucky instead of worrying about her own love life. So who should she try to hook Bradley Cooper up with?
Jen and "X-Men: First Class" co-star Nicholas Hoult decided to split back in January, and this prompted some talk that Jen had ditched him for her sexy "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star. However, Brad has vehemently denied the dating rumors, saying that he's old enough to be J-Law's dad. And Nicholas doesn't seem to feel like a spurned lover -- he recently gushed about how great it is that Jen just became an Oscar-winning actress.
Still, since Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper will be working together again soon, Jen has come up with a clever way to kill the dating rumors once and for all -- she's trying to set her co-star up with someone. According to Us Weekly, here's what she told MTV about her attempt to play matchmaker for Brad: "I feel like all I've been doing lately is setting him up. I was like, 'You know what? I'm gonna save time and just get you a booklet with pictures of my friends. You just go through and pick them out, because this is getting exhausting.'"
So who should Jen include in her booklet? Here are a few ideas:
January Jones
Jen might have January's number since the actresses worked together on "X-Men: First Class." Bradley and January would certainly make a pretty pair, and Miley Cyrus would probably thank Jen for setting the couple up since January seems to have her sights set on Liam Hemsworth right now.
Zoe Kravitz
Jen is BFFs with her "X-Men: First Class" co-star Zoe Kravitz, so she'd probably be included in her booklet of babes. Brad might see 24-year-old Zoe as being a little too young for him since he's 38, but the actress proved that she's not opposed to dating older guys by romancing 35-year-old Michael Fassbender. However, Brad might find it a little strange to replace one Zoe with another one -- he recently split from "Avatar" star Zoe Saldana.
Kristen Stewart
Jen might count Kristen as one of her friends since the gals were spotted getting pretty chummy at the Oscars. Just like Jen's pal Zoe, K-Stew also has a thing for older guys -- the 22-year-old's little tryst with 41-year-old director Rupert Sanders proves this. There are rumors that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are experiencing a little relationship turbulence, so if the couple ends up splitting up, perhaps Jen could set K-Stew up with Brad.
So who do you think Jen should set Brad up with?
