Methylmercury poisoning is brain and nervous system damage from the chemical methylmercury.
Minamata Bay disease; Basra poison grain poisoning
Methylmercury is a type of mercury ("quicksilver"), a metal that is liquid at room temperature. Most compounds containing mercury are poisonous. Methylmercury has been used to preserve seed grain, which is fed to animals. Methylmercury may also form in water when other forms of mercury in the water react with certain bacteria.
Methylmercury poisoning has occurred after people have eaten meat from animals fed seed grain or fish from waters contaminated with methylmercury (such as Minamata Bay in Japan). Because of many industrial uses, including the manufacture of fluorescent lights, batteries, polyvinyl chloride, and latex paint, mercury is a common pollutant of air and water.
Unborn babies and infants are very sensitive to methylmercury's effects. Methylmercury causes central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) damage. How bad the damage is depends on how much poison gets into the body. Many of the symptoms of mercury poisoning are similar to those seen in cerebral palsy . In fact, methylmercury is thought to cause a form of cerebral palsy.
The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and nursing mothers avoid fish that may contain unsafe levels of methylmercury. Such fish include swordfish, king mackerel, shark, or tilefish. (Infants should not be given these fish, either.) You should not eat any of these fish caught by friends and family. Check with your local or state health department for warnings against locally caught, noncommercial fish.
Some health care providers have raised concerns about ethyl mercury (thiomersal), a chemical used in some vaccines. However, research shows that childhood vaccines do not lead to dangerous mercury levels in the body. Vaccines used in children today only contain trace amounts of thiomersal. Thiomersal-free vaccines are available.
Tests will vary depending on the symptoms that occur.
Methylmercury damage is irreversible. Treatment is determined by the severity of the condition and is similar to that given for cerebral palsy. The patient should be removed from the source of exposure. Treatment may involve:
The symptoms are irreversible; however, they do not usually worsen unless there is a new exposure to methylmercury.
Complications depend on the severity of the condition, and the specific symptoms (such as blindness or deafness ).
Methylmercury poisoning has been linked to an increased heart attack rate.
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
Avoiding any foods contaminated with methylmercury will prevent poisoning. Because of manufacturing, mercury has become so common in the environment that trace amounts of methylmercury are present in many foods from the ocean, including deep-sea tuna. Fortunately, the levels are low enough that most of these foods remain safe.
Avoid contact with mercury-containing industrial products. Contact poison control if you believe you may have been exposed.

Lehman's triple-double leads Tiger women to win
By CONOR NICHOLL
Fort Hays State University junior center Kate Lehman already owns the MIAA record for single season and career blocks.
Lehman has recorded nine blocks in a contest three times and narrowly missed a triple-double on a few occasions.
On Dec. 7, Lehman collected 24 points, 12 rebounds and nine blocks in a road win versus Missouri Western State University. Coach Tony Hobson said Lehman should have been credited for 10 blocks.
"She kind of got robbed," Hobson said.
On Thursday, Lehman made history in a 99-76 win against Lindenwood (Mo.) University at Gross Memorial Coliseum. Lehman finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks in 24 minutes, the second triple-double in Tiger women's basketball history.
She nearly fell short again, but some help by the FHSU coaching staff and sports information department helped Lehman achieve the mark. The Tigers also set a school record for most points in an MIAA contest.
"It's just a nice thing for Kate, because she is one of our hardest workers and one of our more consistent players," Hobson said.
Amy Scoby recorded the first triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against New Mexico Highlands on Jan. 7, 1995. Lehman called the triple-double her second-best achievement behind the career blocks mark earlier this season. Hobson said it was the first triple-double he had seen in person.
Lehman labeled the record "cool."
"But I like to do it for the game, not really for the record," Lehman said. "And for my teammates."
Lehman subbed out of the contest with 3 minutes, 15 seconds left and the Tigers ahead by 20. However, the FHSU SID staff told assistant coach Talia Miller that
Lehman was one block short of a triple-double. Hobson subbed Lehman back in at the 2:42 mark.
"If it would have been points, I don't know if I would have put her back in, but since it was blocks, you don't get a chance to get double figure blocks very often," Hobson said.
"I asked Coach Talia how close I was, and she said I was one away, so Hobson put me back in, and let me get it," Lehman added.
At 2:30, the 6-foot-4 Lehman blocked a jumper from 5-4 sophomore guard Jenny Rocha. Lehman subbed out of the game 10 seconds later as public address announcer Ken Windholz announced the mark to applause.
"Ten blocks is hard to get," Lehman said. "I am usually pretty happy with the five, six range. Ten is kind of awesome."
Lehman received congratulations from her teammates and met Hobson last.
Afterward, Lehman had multiple platitudes from friends and fans.
"He said that he was proud of me, and that it was a good accomplishment," Lehman said.
Fort Hays, receiving votes nationally, moved to 10-2, 4-2 MIAA. The Lions dropped to 8-6, 3-4 MIAA. Four players scored in double figures, including a game-high 25 from sophomore Chelsea Mason. FHSU led all game, held a 46-31 halftime lead and led by double figures all second half.
"Our bench has been playing excellent," Hobson said.
Lehman recorded her ninth straight double-double, but had her fewest points in that stretch. She has 26 double-doubles in her career, most in the Tigers' NCAA Division II era that started in 1991-92. At halftime, Lehman had two points,
seven rebounds and six blocks.
"The way they were playing her and sagging down, I didn't know if she would get double figure points tonight," Hobson said. "They were just taking it away from her. There is a reason why our other kids were getting some real open looks."
Lindenwood, paced by 20 points from freshman Kassidy Gengenbacher, challenged Lehman — the national leader in blocks the last two years — often. She blocked two shots in the first 2:08 and later recorded two more in a seven-second stretch.
"That's what a lot of teams do," Lehman said of opponents going inside. "Sometimes I get the block, sometimes I don't. I like it when they challenge me, because I usually win – that sounds kind of cocky, but I don't mean it like that."
In the second half, Lehman had just six points with just 8:42 left, but then tallied five points in 75 seconds to collect double figures. She was going to come up short before the substitution in the final minutes. FHSU will play host to Lincoln (Mo.) University on Saturday afternoon.
"That's pretty impressive," Hobson said.

Neurosarcoidosis is a complication of sarcoidosis in which inflammation occurs in the brain, spinal cord, and other areas of the nervous system.
Sarcoidosis - nervous system
Sarcoidosis is a long-term disorder that affects many parts of the body, mostly the lungs. In a small number of patients, the disease involves some part of the nervous system. This is called neurosarcoidosis.
Neurosarcoidosis may affect any part of the nervous system. Sudden, facial weakness (facial palsy ) is the most common neurological symptom and involves the nerves to the muscles of the face. Any nerve in the skull can be affected, including those in the eye and those that control taste, smell, or hearing.
The condition can also affect the parts of the brain involved in regulating many body functions such as temperature, sleep, and stress responses.
Muscle weakness or sensory losses can occur with peripheral nerve involvement. Other areas of the brain, including the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, or the spinal cord may also be involved.
Involvement of the pituitary gland can cause:
The symptoms vary. Any part of the nervous system can be affected. Involvement of the brain or cranial nerves can cause:
Involvement of one or more peripheral nerves can lead to:
An exam may show problems with one or more nerves.
A history of sarcoidosis followed nerve-related symptoms highly suggests neurosarcoidosis. However, symptoms of the condition can mimic other medical disorders, including diabetes insipidus , hypopituitarism , optic neuritis , meningitis , and certain tumors.
Blood tests are not very helpful in diagnosing the condition. A lumbar puncture may show signs of inflammation. Increased levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme may be found in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, this is not a reliable diagnostic test.
MRI of the brain may be helpful. A chest x-ray often reveals signs of the sarcoidosis of the lungs. Nerve biopsy of affected nerve tissue confirms the disorder.
There is no known cure for the sarcoidosis. Treatment is indicated if symptoms are severe or progressive. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms.
Corticosteroids such as prednisone are prescribed to reduce inflammation. They are often prescribed until symptom get better or go away. You may need to take the medicines for months, even years.
Other medications may include hormone replacement and medicines that suppress the immune system.
If you have numbness, weakness, vision or hearing problems, or other problems due to damage of the nerves in the head, you may need physical therapy, braces, a cane, or walker.
Psychiatric disorders or dementia may require medication for depression, safety interventions, and assistance with care.
Some cases go away on their own in 4-6 months. Other cases continue off and on for the rest of the person's life. Neurosarcoidosis can cause permanent disability and, in some cases, death.
Complications vary depending on which part of the nervous system is involved and how you respond to treatment. Slowly worsening or permanent loss of neurological function is possible. In rare cases, the brainstem may be involved. This is life threatening.
Call your health care provider if you have sarcoidosis and any neurological symptoms occur.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have a sudden loss of sensation, movement, or body function.
Aggressive treatment of sarcoidosis turns off the body's faulty immune response before your nerves become damaged. This may reduce the chance that neurological symptoms will occur.

Fox Rampage Helmet 2013
The Rampage is a high-performance downhill helmet designed with a lightweight fiberglass outer shell and full face protection for those unexpected hard landings.
Comfortable and pretty light. It vents well and goggles fit it good! Put this helmet to the test on the first day I wore and held up well! Also visor adjustment is pretty good. I would recommend this helmet!
I had the matte black version of this helmet, and I really liked the look and the fit. It's pretty light. It vents pretty well, and most of the liner material comes out to wash it. I have a pretty large head, and the XL felt a little snug but it fit well. I smashed mine this past spring on some rocks while doing some shuttle runs in Phoenix, but I didn't even realize how hard I had hit because the thing did it's job! My impact was on the left side below the visor mount right near my temple, and it was hard enough to cut into the shell but I walked away fine! (well, my head was at least.) I think the only thing that would make it better would be a buckle to fasten the chin strap instead of the d-rings, but that's just my preference.
I bought this for MTB riding. It's a really nice helmet and vents really good for a full face helmet. My buddy bought one as well and really likes his too. Would recommend to any one.

Our partnership with Starbucks Coffee Company strives to improve farmers' livelihoods while conserving rich, vital forests that combat global climate change.
CI has worked with Starbucks for more than 15 years to promote coffee production practices that conserve biodiversity, maintain healthy ecosystems and support the millions of farmers who grow and supply coffee to the company as embodied in their commitment to ethical sourcing.
Together with Starbucks, CI is working on the ground with coffee farmers to promote environmentally and socially sound growing practices through the C.A.F.E. Practices program, create new income streams from conservation and carbon markets and provide loans for sustainable enterprise development.
CI and Starbucks are working together to support the people and rich ecosystems of coffee growing regions.
C.A.F.E. Practices guidelines help farmers grow coffee in a way that's better for both people and the planet. Through ongoing monitoring and evaluation of our joint initiatives we are able to measure program performance, identify new challenges and opportunities and determine how best to expand our support for global coffee growing communities.
Coffee farmers can play a role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. Starbucks and CI are now investing in and supporting these communities who engage in climate-friendly activities to promote mutually beneficial forest conservation and carbon sequestration.
Starbucks is a key supporter of CI's Verde Ventures fund, which provides loans to small- and medium-sized businesses, such as coffee farms with sustainable growing practices. Through Verde Ventures, Starbucks provides loan capital earmarked for coffee farmers, including those who are participating in the C.A.F.E. Practices program. To date, the program has helped over 30 coffee enterprises in five countries — affecting over 14,000 farmers and their families — and has directly conserved nearly 19,500 hectares (almost 46,960 acres) of land.

Dragon Age II Summary
Dragon Age II Review
Pick the sword, dagger or staff as you journey to become the champion of Kirkwall...
Latest news
Exploration in RPGs the "biggest change" in genre, says Dragon Age developer BioWare
A whole generation of RPG gamers was first introduced to the genre thanks to Bethesda's Skyrim, a title which has sold millions and has led to "totally different expectations" in storytelling and exploration, says BioWare's Mark Darrah.
That's why Dragon Age: Inquisition has gone 'back to scale' with its explorable worlds, as RPGs have 'shrunk' over the years in sacrifice to fidelity. BioWare is now gunning for both.
Alistair "not a party member" in Dragon Age: Inquisition, Morrigan art released
Executive producer Mark Darrah has confirmed that Dragon Age: Origin's Alistair is "not a party member" for the Inquisitor in the upcoming sequel, but that doesn't rule out a possible cameo appearance.
BioWare has also announced an initiative to help fan artists and cosplayers by releasing "detailed, descriptive, high-resolution character designs" before it launches.
Dragon Age Keep will allow players to customize Dragon Age: Inquisition backstory
BioWare has announced Dragon Age Keep, which will serve the same function as the interactive comics from the Mass Effect series, allowing players who did not play the previous games - or people who just want to tailor the backstory - have a backstory for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Dragon Age: Inquisition reintroduces multiple races, includes mounts and sieges
According to a new Game Informer piece on BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition, multiple races make a return in the third full entry to the franchise, once again letting player characters be more than just human.
While the game world isn't strictly open-world, much like previous titles, it is large enough to warrant the introduction of mounts. We'll also lay siege to fortresses and repair bridges with magic!
Dragon Age saves "absolutely come across" to Inquisition despite next-gen
The silly fact that your Dragon Age: Inquisition may very well be on a platform that's never before see some Mage on Templar action before won't stop BioWare from infusing your past adventures.
Producer Cameron Lee attending PAX Australia has confirmed that Dragon Age: Origins and DA2 saves "absolutely come across" and that decisions will matter, but it won't be "reliant" on them.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Eureka Pet Expert 3276BVZ Vacuum
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Eureka Pet Expert 3276BVZ performed very well when tested for removing pet hair and deep-down dirt from plush carpeting. However, it proved ineffective at removing debris from bare flooring, because it lacks a switch to turn off the rotating brush. Consumers also found it to be too large and heavy (weighs 19.6 lbs), making it difficult to operate and maneuver. Still, if you have a lot of carpeting and a tight budget, it's a good choice for just $100. eureka.com.

Dialight PLC Chooses FloEFD.Pro Engineering Fluid Dynamics Software for Pro/ENGINEER
March 2008
Dialight plc has selected Flomerics' FloEFD.Pro engineering fluid dynamics software, embedded in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, for the design of advanced lighting systems based on light-emitting diode (LED) technology. "Although power LEDs are becoming more efficient, a significant amount of input power translates into heat" said Gordon Routledge, VP of illumination products, Dialight plc. "Cooling of the electronics and LED devices is critical to long-term reliability and so thermal analysis -- including airflow analysis – is vital to help us meet our demanding development schedules. We solicited presentations from a number of analysis vendors. Some systems were either too simple or required a degree in math to produce any meaningful output. Unlike some of the lower cost options, EFD is a recognized leader with good support and the software handles all the thermal transfer mechanisms we require. " "We recognize the importance of the fast-growing market for LED lighting systems and are delighted that Dialight has chosen FloEFD.Pro for fluid flow and heat transfer simulation" said Gary Carter, CEO, Flomerics. "We look forward to supporting Dialight's design teams around the world."
Dialight plc is a world leader in applied LED technology, operating in two principal segments: Components, where low brightness LEDs are used for status indication in electronic equipment, and Signals/Illumination, utilizing the latest high brightness LED technology for traffic and rail signals, obstruction lighting, hazardous location lighting and developing applications in more general illumination markets.
About Dialight PLC
Dialight (www.dialight.com) is the recognized industry leader in applying LED technology to the entire spectrum of visual applications. In business since 1938, Dialight has been pioneering some of the most innovative applications in LED technology since the early 1970s.

Cards release Spiezio after arrest warrant issued
STL Today Link
IRVINE, Calif. -- An arrest warrant has been issued by the Irvine Police Department for Cardinals utilityman Scott Spiezio on six charges stemming from a crash in late December.
The warrant alleges driving under the influence, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more, hit and run, aggravated assault, assault and battery.
This afternoon, the Cardinals released a statement saying, "The ballclub is immediately releasing player Scott Spiezio in response to a six-count arrest warrant issued for Spiezio today."
The 35-year-old Spiezio, who missed more than a month last season while receiving treatment for substance abuse, was not in the lineup for Wednesday's exhibition game against St. Louis University at Jupiter, Fla.
"We decided this afternoon that we are releasing Scott Spiezio,†said Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak in the statement. "We hope Scott will continue to seek appropriate help and wish him the best in baseball, but more importantly in life.â€
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa told an Associated Press reporter in Jupiter that he did not have specifics on the warrant and had not spoken to Spiezio.
"I had heard there was an incident in California," La Russa said. "I didn't think anything would come of it.
Spiezio's agent, Barry Meister, did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press.
Authorities in Irvine, a suburb of Los Angeles, provided the following narration of events before and after the crash, which occurred at 12:20 a.m. on Dec. 30, a Sunday:
Spiezio was seen consuming several vodka drinks at a bar in nearby Newport Beach, Calif., and then driving away in his 2004 BMW. Witnesses saw his car speeding, cutting across lanes and crossing into oncoming traffic before driving over a curb and crashing into a fence at Campus and Carlson avenues, a short distance from his condominium.
Other witnesses saw a man they identified as Spiezio get out of the car and run. Police officers who arrived at the scene found the car, with both of its front tires blown, and verified it was Spiezio's.
Spiezio allegedly went from the crash site to his condo complex, where a friend noticed that he was disheveled and apparently injured. The friend brought Spiezio into the friend's apartment and tried to clean him up, then Spiezio vomited inside the condo, police said.
When the friend said something about the vomit, Spiezio allegedly became angry and attacked the man, "punching him repeatedly and then throwing him against a wall," according to a statement by the Orange County district attorney's office.
Lt. Rick Handfield, spokesman for the Irvine Police Department, said Spiezio never has talked to investigating officers, who began looking for him the morning of the alleged incidents.
"There has been contact with attorneys on his behalf, and certainly his family knew we wanted to speak with him," Handfield said. "He's certainly aware of the investigation."
Handfield said the detective assigned to the case interviewed numerous witnesses, from the bar to the condo, before preparing his report, which the department took to the district attorney this week. A judge signed the six-count warrant on Tuesday.
Handfield declined to identify the victim. He said the man "was a neighbor who knew who Spiezio was, and who offered to help. They both live in that complex."
The six counts, all misdemeanors, accuse Spiezio of driving under the influence, driving under the influence while his blood level was .08 percent or higher, hit-and-run with property damage, aggravated assault, battery and assault. Handfield said Spiezio was accused of striking the victim with his fists.
Spiezio's condo is in an area of Irvine between John Wayne Airport and the University of California at Irvine. Handfield described it as a commercial area in which high-rise condos have been built.
Bond accompanying the warrant was set at $10,000.
Spiezio missed more than a month last season while being treated for substance abuse.
"I was out of control for a while," he said in September. "I learned a lot and I'm ready to start contributing in a good way now."
At the time, Spiezio said he'd been struggling with substance abuse for six or seven months, although he wouldn't disclose the substance, saying "I'll save that for the book."
Spiezio is entering the final season of a two-year, $4.5 million contract.
He batted .272 in 119 games with 13 homers and 52 RBIs in 2006. Last year, he appeared in only 82 games due to injuries, illness and treatment, with four homers, 31 RBIs and a .269 average.
Spiezio, a married father of three who plays in the heavy metal band SandFrog, has cultivated a hard-rocking image through 12 major league seasons.
The warrant alleges driving under the influence, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more,
Those are 2 separate charges?

I heard the same thing, which reiterates the point that there is a permissive attitude about this stuff in the organization and frankly in most professional sports. Until drinking excessively and getting in fights, driving, etc is not viewed as some kind of macho, frat boy ritual this will not stop. When sobriety checks are done after sporting events on nearby roads I will believe it is being taken seriously.

Spiezio released by Braves' Triple-A team
WASHINGTON -- Scott Spiezio was released by the Atlanta Braves from their top minor league affiliate Saturday, less than a week after the veteran infielder pleaded guilty in a drunken-driving case.
Spiezio spent 12 years in the majors. He was released by St. Louis on Feb. 27 and signed by Atlanta on March 31.
Braves general manager Frank Wren said the team and Spiezio had agreed that he would submit to testing, continue his rehabilitation and report to the ballpark each day prepared to play.
"Yesterday, he was not ready to play," Wren said.
The 35-year-old Spiezio pleaded guilty Monday to misdemeanor drunken driving and hit-and-run charges stemming from a December car crash in Southern California. He was sentenced to three years' probation and agreed to undergo a three-month alcohol program, attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and complete 80 hours of community service.
Wren informed Spiezio of his release Saturday.
"He was appreciative of the opportunity," Wren said. "He and we realized he needed more time to continue his rehabilitation. He just needs more time and needs to be in an environment where he can get the care he needs."
In five games with Richmond, Spiezio batted .333. He has batted .255 in a major league career with Oakland, Anaheim, Seattle and St. Louis.

- condition
Vaginal cancer is an uncommon disease in which cancer cells grow from the cells of the vaginal lining. The vagina is a tube that connects the vulva (external female genitals) to the cervix (lower end of the uterus). The vagina is also called the "birth canal."
Cancer occurs when cells in the body (in this case, vaginal cells) divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue, called a growth or tumor, forms. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
There are several types of vaginal cancer:
- Squamous cell carcinoma—occurs in the lining of the vagina
- Adenocarcinoma—occurs in the area of the vagina lined with cells similar to those in the glands of the cervix and uterus
- A special type of this cancer, called clear cell adenocarcinoma, occurs in women who were exposed to a drug called diethylstilbestrol (DES) while in their mother's womb. This drug was introduced in the late 1930s and no longer used after 1971, so the incidence of this particular type of adenocarcinoma is expected to decline.
- Melanoma—usually affects lower or outer portion of the vagina
- Sarcoma—forms deep in the walls of the vagina, not on the surface

The exact cause of vaginal cancer is unknown. However, several risk factors are known.
These risk factors increase your chance of developing vaginal cancer. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Age: 60 and older
- History of cervical cancer
- History of precancerous conditions in the cervix or vagina
- Having a mother who took diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant
- Human papillomavirus infection (HPV)—a sexually transmitted disease (STD)
- Vaginal adenosis—when cells lining the vagina look like those found in the cervix and uterus
- Smoking
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to vaginal cancer. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Bleeding or discharge not related to menstrual periods
- Pain or difficulty when urinating
- Pain during intercourse
- Pain in the pelvic area
- New or worsening constipation
- A mass in the vagina that can be felt
- diagnosis
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in women's health (a gynecologist).
Tests may include:
- Pap test—tissue from the inside of the cervix and upper vagina is scraped and tested
- Colposcopy—a lighted, magnifying instrument is used to examine the vagina and cervix in great detail
- Biopsy—removal of a sample of vaginal tissue for testing
If cancer is found, additional tests are usually done to determine whether or not it has spread to other parts of the pelvis or elsewhere in the body. These tests may include:
- CT scan—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body
- MRI scan—a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the body
- treatment
Once vaginal cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread and, if so, to what parts of the body. Treatments for vaginal cancer depend on the stage of the cancer.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Radiation TherapyRadiation therapy is the use of high-dose radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation is usually directed at the tumor from a source outside the body. In some cases, radioactive material may be temporarily placed near the tumor to expose the cancerous cells to a constant level of radiation. This is called an implant and generally requires a short hospital stay. Other radiation treatments are outpatient.
SurgeryThis involves the surgical removal of a cancerous tumor and nearby tissues, and possibly lymph nodes. Depending on how far the cancer has spread outside the vagina, the doctor may remove the vagina, cervix, uterus, and sometimes the bladder, rectum, and parts of the colon.
ChemotherapyChemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This treatment may be given as a topical cream, pill, or intravenous injection. Except for topical creams, in which the drug is applied directly on the walls of the vagina, chemotherapy drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.
- prevention
While a Pap smear is an effective screening tool for cervical cancer, it cannot be relied upon to detect vaginal cancer. However, regular gynecologic exams may reduce the risk of death from vaginal cancer by providing your doctor with the opportunity to detect it earlier. If you were exposed to DES in the womb, tell your doctor so that he can be more aware of your risk for vaginal cancer and take steps to closely monitor you.
There is a vaccine available, called Gardasil, that protects against four types of the human papillomaviruses (HPV). Since HPV is associated with certain types of cancer, the vaccine helps to prevent cancers of the cervix, vulva, and vagina.

The landscaped entrance to the wood-clad Low/Rise House is at the end of a Vermont slate walkway, and flanked by a board-formed concrete wall that separates parking from private garden; the wall's formwork was re-used as floor joists.
Credit: Bruce Damonte
Menlo Park, Calif., may be a hotbed of Silicon Valley innovation, but when it comes to architecture, the scenario is far less inspiring, trending toward a homogeneous spread of Mediterranean-style McMansions. Dan Spiegel, AIA, of San Francisco–based Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW), chose to eliminate wasted space and stylistic gestures in favor of smart living for two of his toughest clients—a pair of Stanford University professors who also happen to be his parents.
At the house's western end is a three-story tower that accommodates a guest suite on each floor. The roof deck overlooks the surrounding landscape, while photovoltaics from Builders Solar line the PVC-clad roofs of the two lower volumes. These panels bring in 90 percent of the house's required electricity.
At 4,500 square feet, the Low/Rise House is relatively modest for the area, comprising two ranch-like, single-story bars that intersect at the center of the half-acre site. A three-level guest tower rises from the western edge of the structure. Sliding glass doors open the ground-floor living spaces to lush landscaping—designed by Spiegel's wife and partner Megumi Aihara—as well as to the northern California climate, which "verges on magical," Spiegel says. Opening the house to the outdoors has the added benefits of both natural ventilation and increased capacity for parties.
A slight rotation in the grid of the plans allows the living room bar to open up to the landscape.
Although Spiegel opted not to pursue certification, he integrated many green features in the project. Flat rooftops host photovoltaic arrays that produce 90 percent of the energy used in the house. Additional energy savings can be found in the guest tower, whose utilities can be powered on or off via mobile apps to ensure that the space won't draw power when unoccupied. This flexibility of space makes the house intimate enough for two, but still comfortable when the couple's grown children visit. "A lot of times, flexibility is a placeholder for vagueness," Spiegel says. "We wanted these spaces to be quite specific for each use, but to allow for different kinds of use patterns." Plus, having a roof deck atop the tower affords views out to nearby Windy Hill Open Space Preserve and over the neighborhood's tree canopy.
The living spaces in the lower volumes, including the living room, seen here, are all able to be open to the outdoors via sliding low-E glass panels from Cardinal Glass Industries. The floors are lined in Vermont slate, and exposed structural steel along the ceiling plane serves as crown molding.
The fact that this is where his parents live also means that Spiegel will have plenty of opportunities to learn lessons from it over time, to see how materials age, and to conduct in-person post-occupancy tests. As for the house's punch-list? "It'll be an ongoing thing," Spiegel says.
The chimney is clad in hot-rolled steel, matching the exposed structural beams.
Spiegel professed a desire to make the house as low-maintenance as possible, with durable finishes like the stone floor and cedar cladding that will weather for the next 50 years.
Interior blends with exterior, thanks to sliding glass panels that also allow natural ventilation in the main living spaces.
The master bedroom, in the eastern end of the house, features a white oak floor and Douglas Fir ceiling, and sliding panels that open onto a private deck.
Landscaping by Megumi Aihara surrounds the Low/Rise House.
Seen from the street, the single-story house has a minimal profile, with the exception of the 30-foot guest tower at the site's western edge.

You might also try negotiating an extension with your landlord / whatever. Unless people are lining up to have it, it would probably sit for a bit collecting dust anyway. You might as well be there keeping it clean and dry, with a promise to pay the back rent when you have a job. This of course relies on you having a decent relationship with the landlord and prospects for a job in the near future.Mr. Sefrol wrote:Still don't have a job.

Angry Over the 1%? Pursue the Proper Equality.
3:12 pm in Uncategorized by E.L. Beck
This is one of the most contentious posts that I have written (originally posted at The Small "r"), and many may read it superficially and jump to incorrect or under-informed conclusions. Nevertheless, this realization does not hinder me from adding to such a vitally important debate in America….
The premise behind the phrase, "…all men are created equal," was to distinguish the establishment of the United States from the then-common European belief in the divine rights of monarchies. Yet, the ideal of "equality" has caused no small amount of confusion within contemporary debates over the growing inequality in America. The very word "equality" is often used with varying implicit assumptions, a typology for which follows:
A Typology of Equality
Natural Equality – A positive equality addressed in the Declaration of Independence, that all of humanity is bestowed with intrinsic, inalienable and immutable natural rights.
Isonomy – A positive equality addressed by the ideal of equal justice under law.
Social equality – An equality that can be positive or negative, by respectively providing a sense of cohesiveness… or a sense of envy.
Perceived equality – A negative equality that turns natural equality into a materialistic equality.
Determined equality – A negative equality that emerges in response to perceived equality by attempting to force a material equality via distributive justice.

Thanks for this info, Stu. Can I also add that typically this scammer ALSO asks in the swap that you DON'T send it with confirmation or signature confirmation? This would require him to sign for it, which would implicate him obviously in mail fraud.
Instead, he'll ask you, "Please don't send with signature confirmation. I'm at work during the day and so won't be able to pick it up. The mailman will leave it at my house, so I don't need the confirmation."
Be careful! He's very tricky and sounds very interested... but he's just trying to steal from you! Be wary if a swapper asks you to send it without any confirmation/proof or keeps asking you if you've "sent the package yet" while he doesn't provide any evidence that he's sent your end.

Judd: 'Is there an elephant in the room?'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ashley Judd was fully aware she was under the Washington media spotlight Friday when she spoke about public health issues at George Washington University.
"I'm a lot more nervous than y'all are, I promise" she told a group of students who were asking questions at the event. "There are people here who don't give a rat's-you-know-what about public health."
It wasn't the first time Judd looked over at the reporters in the room. Earlier in her remarks, Judd talked about how she learned to train herself to bring her "anxiety down" at certain points in her life.
Then, turning to the press, she joked: "You people have that effect on us. You do. You do," she said, drawing laughs from the crowd.
Normally, a celebrity appearance at a university in Washington wouldn't turn out such a big media presence. But this was the first time Judd was speaking publicly since she began stoking speculation about challenging the Senate's most powerful Republican.
Judd has expressed interest in the Kentucky seat currently held by GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell. She recently met with potential donors in Kentucky, and talked with top officials at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. She reportedly will announce her decision by early May, around the time of the Kentucky Derby.
Critics--and even McConnell's team--have preemptively been on the attack, especially with questions about her residency.
While Judd's family dates back generations in Kentucky and she spent much of her childhood in the state, she's lived in Tennessee for years and represented Kentucky's neighboring state when she attended and spoke the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
Media outlets were permitted to attend the event Friday but were told beforehand that only students were allowed to ask questions. None of the students at the event, however, attempted to quiz Judd about her potential Senate run, though one student dipped her toe in the water.
"I know you may be running for political office, but I'm not asking you about that," the student said.
Keeping her poker face, Judd simply smiled and brushed it off with sarcasm. "Is there an elephant in the room?"
What was abundantly clear was Judd's repeated references to Kentucky. She made sure to mention she graduated from the University of Kentucky at least a couple of times and seemed to talk about the state at every chance she could. As she was gifted a vase at the end of session, the state got another shout-out.
"The daffodils are fixing to bloom in Kentucky, and they will look beautiful in this," she said.
Judd spoke for more than an hour at the event--first giving a monologue about her background and how she became interested in public health and other humanitarian issues. The Harvard grad spoke about her travels and people she met at orphanages, brothels, slave labor camps and displacement camps.
She also spoke freely about her violent past as a three-time victim of rape and spoke knowledgeably about gender violence issues, both in the military and civilian worlds.
Judd also opened up about her family, frequently talking about her mother, country singer Naomi Judd, who was in the audience and was the first to give her a standing ovation at the end.
The Hollywood actress also expressed her love for both Peace Corps volunteers and epidemiologists.
"Yay epidemiologists yay!" she said at one point, meeting an audience member who specialized in the field.
Some of her not-so-politician-sounding moments didn't go unnoticed by her would-be competition. Brad Dayspring, a strategist at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, jumped on a comment Judd made about how she once told the musician, Bono, that she and her ex-husband would travel during the winters.
"We winter in Scotland," she said. "We're smart like that."
Dayspring wasted no time: "A true woman of the people," he posted on Twitter, referring to her comment.
"I wonder if Ashley Judd will 'winter in Scotland' this year," he also wrote. "Tough to run a #KYSEN campaign from the UK."
Asked about Judd's potential campaign on Friday, McConnell didn't give too much input.
"We'll talk about next year's race when it gets here," McConnell told CNN affiliate WAVE in Kentucky.
Judd will be out in the spotlight again Saturday, as she's scheduled to receive an award for her humanitarian work in India.
Besides her residency, another issue that could hurt Judd in Kentucky is her fierce opposition to mountain top coal mining, a big industry in the state. And that's got some Kentucky Democrats concerned about the prospect of Judd as their party's 2014 Senate nominee. No other major Democrats are considering bids at this time.
But Judd does have the support of one of the top elected Democrats in the state.
"She's smart. She knows the issues, and she does it in a very pleasant way, she talks about them in a very unthreatening way. So I think she'd be a great candidate," Rep. John Yarmuth said last week.
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
