Christina S. Chu, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 4 de agosto del 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I recently had a colposcopy for a CIN abnormal pap. I was told I had 3 suspicious lesions. An endocervical curettage (ECC) was also done. The biopsy report states the (ECC) was "non-diagnostic" as well as one biopsy. What exactly does "non-diagnostic" mean? My family physician did this procedure. He recommended cryotherapy. I was told cryotherapy was not a very reliable treatment since the depth could not be well controlled and no sample exists for testing. Should I see a specialist to make sure?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
"Non-diagnostic" usually means that the amount of tissue obtained was too small to make an accurate diagnosis. While cryotherapy and loop electrocautery excision procedure (LEEP) are both commonly practiced therapy for CIN II, I believe that you are right to be concerned about the non-diagnostic biopsies, especially the ECC. The standard recommendation at this point would be to have a repeat ECC before undergoing any procedure on the cervix. This is because if there is a more serious abnormality on the ECC, a LEEP or cone biopsy may be required (in other words, cryotherapy might not be the appropriate treatment). Though it is a commonly used treatment, in our practice, we rarely perform cryotherapy for the very reasons that you mentioned. If you are uncomfortable with your current physician, I would suggest you see a gynecologist who is experienced in colposcopy and the treatment of CIN disease of the cervix.
Jun 11, 2010 - Gynecologic organ sparing procedures for the surgical treatment of bladder cancer appear to be feasible, with acceptable oncologic outcomes and voiding function, according to research published in the June issue of Urology.

quote:Welch apparently ended up at odds with various journalistic institutions that placed a higher premium on providing readers with objectively rational information about the economy, as opposed to flattering an old executive who sows derangement on the Internet. According to Gandel, Welch did not take kindly to a CNN Money piece that criticized Welch's original tweet, and was further angered by a Fortune piece, "detailing Welch's record as a job destroyer." Gandel goes on to report that after these stories were published, "Welch sent an e-mail to Reuters' Steve Adler and [Fortune managing editor Andy] Serwer saying that he and his wife Suzy, who have jointly written for Reuters and Fortune in the past, were 'terminating our contract' and will no longer be sending our 'material to Fortune.'"

The Saturday Science Seminar Program (S-Cubed) is an initiative developed by Barnard College to encourage interest in the sciences among young women in New York City high schools.
Barnard has a tradition of excellence preparing women for careers in the sciences. Among our noteworthy alumnae are: Helen Ranney '41, the first woman to chair a Department of Medicine; Alison Estabrook '74, the chief of Breast Surgery at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, Susan Alpert '69, current Senior Vice President, Chief Regulatory Officer for Medtronic, and Dr. Beryl Benacerraf '71, the first woman to become clinical professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive biology at Harvard Medical School.
The S-Cubed program brings young women in the 11th grade with strong academic ability and interest in science and mathematics to Barnard over the course of five Saturdays in January, February and March. These capable young women are nominated for the program by science teachers in New York City high schools. Admission to the program is highly selective and limited so that students truly gain from the interactive experience of a small class.
Students are expected to commit to all seminars and there is no fee to participate.
If you would like further information regarding this program or would like to have your New York City high school added to our list of participating schools in the future, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Okay, the theory just became concrete as the blue fiery face belongs to Aku's henchman. It's definitely Aku's daughter.
wonder3 wrote:My first guess is Mina after the breakdown and eventual insanity that it caused this is the outcome.
Second is Aku's daughter by the women he had trapped inside him (that was revealed in a episode covering the dessert gem)
Third a minion of Him created from the corpse of Blossom or one of the power punk girls(actual reality of the comic strip the power puff girls look them up on google if you don't believe me) namely berserk getting transported from their mirror world to the underworld.

hey does every leader of a layer have a kid? with this it would make 2 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed.
AkuTenshiiZero wrote:Note when I say Aku + Blossom = Something, I mean she could be anything from a daughter, to a clone, to just Aku borrowing Blossom's image (He IS a shapeshifter after all). I think at this point we can all agree she's at least linked to Aku, there's just too much evidence to say otherwise. It's just a matter of if and how she's linked to Blossom.
Personally, I'm not actually believing the daughter angle, or at least I hope it's not the case. After considering it I think that would be awfully dumb. It's believable that Blossom would hook up with Him out of desperation/grief/coercion, but if she were to have another daughter by Aku then she's officially just a sl** for demons. No, rather I'm honestly hoping for some sort of clone, like Aku managed to steal a blood sample from Blossom (alive or dead) mixed it with his own blood, and used his magic to create an heiress.

Gastric bypass is surgery that helps you lose weight by changing how your stomach and small intestine handle the food you eat.
After the surgery, your stomach will be smaller. You will feel full with less food.
The food you eat will no longer go into some parts of your stomach and small intestine that break down food. Because of this, your body will not absorb all of the calories from the food you eat.
See also: Laparoscopic gastric banding
You will have general anesthesia before this surgery. You will be asleep and pain-free.
There are two steps during gastric bypass surgery:
Gastric bypass can be done in two ways. With open surgery, your surgeon will make a large surgical cut to open up your belly. Your surgeon will do the bypass by working on your stomach, small intestine, and other organs.
Another way to do this surgery is to use a tiny camera, called a laparoscope. This camera is placed in your belly. The surgery is called laparoscopy .
In this surgery:
Advantages of laparoscopy over open surgery include:
This surgery takes about 2 to 4 hours.
Bariatric surgery - gastric bypass; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; Gastric bypass - Roux-en-Y
You will usually not have weight-loss surgery unless you cannot lose a large amount of weight and keep it off by dieting, changing your behavior, and exercising alone.
Doctors often use the body mass index (BMI) and health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from weight-loss surgery.
Gastric bypass surgery is not a "quick fix" for obesity. You must diet and exercise after surgery. You also need to know about the risks of surgery, and what your life will be like after the surgery.
Gastric bypass is major surgery and it has many risks. Some of these risks are very serious. You should discuss these with your surgeon. Risks for any surgery or anesthesia include:
There are a number of risks for any weight-loss surgery. There are also risks that are more likely after gastric bypass surgery.
Your surgeon will ask you to have tests and visits with other health care providers before you have this surgery.
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before surgery and not start smoking again after surgery. Smoking slows recovery and increases the risks of problems. Tell your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the week before your surgery:
Most people stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days after surgery.
In the hospital:
You will be able to go home when:
Most people lose about 10 to 20 pounds a month in the first year after surgery. Weight loss will decrease over time. By sticking to your diet and exercise from the beginning, you will lose more weight.
You may lose half or more of your extra weight in the first 2 years. You will lose weight quickly after surgery if you are still on a liquid or pureed diet.
Losing enough weight after surgery can improve many medical conditions, including:
Weighing less should also make it much easier for you to move around and do your everyday activities.
To lose weight and avoid complications from the procedure, you will need to follow the exercise and eating guidelines that your doctor and dietitian have given you.

The X Factor: Social media and the live shows infographic – Week 1
As one of my favourite shows on the telly, when Tim mentioned tracking The X Factor series from a social media perspective I was definitely keen. Having watched the show from the start, I definitely had some thoughts on what we might see in terms of Facebook and Twitter when it came to the live shows.
As an example, Sophie Habibas was the fastest growing contestant in Week 1, with her official social media channels growing in size by more than 58%, which is huge. On the flipside, one of the most talked about Frankie Cocozza had the slowest growing channels - despite having (by far) the most numbers. Sophie was barely featured during the audition stages of the competition, in direct contrast to Frankie who got a considerable amount of airtime and subsequent column inches. Given that fans were watching him and searching for him online since his first audition and that he has the 'young girl factor' and the 'shock factor' (bearing his tattooed bum on national TV) it's a given that his audience size at the start of the show would have been considerably bigger. The question is, as I think will become clear on the infographic over the next few weeks - is, from a social media perspective, has Frankie already peaked? Will it continue to grow 10-15% a week, or will it take a considerable spike?
We've created an infographic to visualise the data we will be capturing, and we'll be publishing a new one with our thoughts each week over at The Wall and then here on our blog. I'm re-blogging part of the first post at The Wall, to give you more insight into what we are measuring, how we are capturing the data and what we are hoping to learn.
Each week we'll be bringing you an overview of The X Factor (UK), and what is transpiring in a social media environment.
Before getting into analysis about the show and the results we're seeing, and what we expect to see in the weeks to follow, here's a brief explanation about what we're measuring and how.
What are we measuring?
We're looking at the 16 finalists, judges and The X Factor's official social media channels; Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. As the intro is being played at the start of the Saturday show, we took screen-captures of each profile (approximately 40 in total), which we did again as the credits rolled. This was done again at the start and finish of the Live Results show on Sunday, and it will be done the same way for the rest of the live shows in the following 11 or so weeks.
Why screen-capture?
This gives us a permanent record of each profile, and the figures and exact time they were taken. Doing it this way, rather than just recording the figures straight into a spreadsheet means there is reduced margin for human error with the data entry. We can also use this to look at how the contestant's profiles (such as their pictures and descriptions) change over time.
From Facebook, we are measuring the number of Likes as well as Facebook's new, "People Like This" which shows the number of people engaging with a Page over a 24-hour period. We'll also be noting which contestants choose to go beyond the basic Page layout and functionality to be more interactive with their fans (such as Misha B, who's Facebook landing page features an exclusive song powered by RootMusic).
Primarily with Twitter, we'll be looking at the number of Followers, the number of tweets sent and how many people they themselves follow. We may also look to how many mentions they receive during the live shows.
With YouTube, we are measuring the number of views of each of the live show videos and the number of comments and ratings. We are also looking at The X Factor channel's total upload views, profile views and number of subscribers. People often talk about producer bias for individual contestants, so making a note of who's video is the featured channel video against the inevitable chatter on this topic will be really interesting. It may be interesting to note that prior to the live shows were added on Sunday, the featured video was Janet Devlin's Judge's house audition. After the live shows, it changed to Janet's live performance on Saturday's show.
An example
Here's an example from The Girls category, Sophie Habibas.
Saturday, 08 October
19:30: Likes on Facebook - 2,535 Likes and followers on Twitter - 9,960
22:00: Likes on Facebook - 4,565 Likes and followers on Twitter - 11,068
Sunday, 09 October
20:00: Likes on Facebook – 5,701 Likes and followers on Twitter – 13,783
21:00: Likes on Facebook – 5,875 Likes and followers on Twitter - 13,922
So, from that we found that the percentage increases and see that Sophie's Facebook audience grew by 80% and Twitter by 11% during Saturday's show. In Sunday's show Facebook grew by 3% and Twitter by just 1%.
At the end of Sunday's live show, Sophie had 19,797 Likes and followers, she started at the beginning of Saturday's show with 12,495, which means her online fan base grew by 58.4%. In total, her profile size by 7,302 and whilst not the biggest increase in numbers (Frankie's grew by 21,955) it means her audience size grew by 58.4% overall, making her the fastest growing contestant in Week 1.
Spotting trends and insights
Although these are straightforward measurements we're taking, over time it will allow us to look at questions such as:
- Do ITV's viewing figures correspond to growth and engagement across social channels?
- Do the judges comments (negative and positive) correlate to the finalists audience size?
- Do contestants that open and close the show see bigger growth during the week?
- Do contestants that have been given the boot drop off the social media radar?
- Can we predict who will be in the bottom two acts based on the growth and engagement on their social profiles?
- Can we use this to predict who will leave each week?
- Is there any correlation between the size of an individuals social profile and the amount it grows by and the order that the safe contestants are announced?
And the penultimate question – can social media determine the winner of The X Factor 2011?

Now playing (music) thread.
I always like these threads. It's a great way to get into new music, talk about music you love, and learn what kind of music others are into.
Artist: Stevie Wonder
Album: Music Of My Mind (1972)
Song: I Love Every Little Thing About You
Such a good album, such a good song. Stevie's voice is absolutely angelic, so full of range and soul. And not to mention the awesome instrumentation on the album. The bass and drums are so tight, the keyboard so spacey and atmospheric. I strongly suggest getting into Stevie Wonder's early 70's stuff.
What is da rest of yall listenin ta?

Ugly personnel decisions on the way

You have no idea how the cap works do you? Beason and Deangelo carry HUGE cap hits if you cut/trade them....
Yeah yeah yeah guaranteed money and all that. blah blah blah.... The funds that I threw up were an attempt ot show how stupid the GM was. DWll hit is due to the time of his contract (remaining time). Sam thing with Beason who signed his extension the same year as Dwill new contract. So yes I do know how it works very much so. But there are ways around these things and ways to stretch the hit out a little bit.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 04:23 PM
truth be told if we have a competent coaching staff next season those changes should easily be enough to make us competitive right off the bat, and the following season we'll be able to really start molding and tailoring the way we want this team's personnel dynamic to look.

hurney has left a legacy of problems for sure but we are far from hamstrung.

think about what you are saying.
You are suggesting that the Panthers move an All-pro MLB to WLB in favor of a rookie? Now yes the rookie has played well, but he's not Beason.
I think we can all agree Beason came back too soon this season and ended up costing himself this season because of that. Next season I don't believe that to be the case
I don't know, I have to disagree with that statement.
I love Beason as much as the next guy, one of my all-time Panther favorites. However, I think we have the next Urlacher on our hands, something really special that will be a force for years. He is leading all rookies in tackles and looks very comfortable in the MLB position, why damper his progression and put in an aging vet? Unless Beason seriously restructures his contract, moves to the outside, or just takes a leadership role, I think we should pay our respects and let him catch on with another team. Always hate to see a guy like Beason go but it's for the better...

Let Andy go and keep Beast. Beast is a better LB and well worth the money when he comes back fully recovered next season.
Yea, cant part just yet with Beason...He brings a great attitude to the D plus an incredible work ethic...We knew it was going to take 2 season for him to heal.... plus how long did we wait on TD...
Posted 19 November 2012 - 04:53 PM
Exactly. He needs to restructure, but I don't think it's time to part ways with him just yet. He is like TD: Far too talented when healthy to let him go until we're sure he's absolutely done for.Yea, cant part just yet with Beason...He brings a great attitude to the D plus an incredible work ethic...We knew it was going to take 2 season for him to heal.... plus how long did we wait on TD...

So we should get rid of Fox era players and start from stratch, I disagree. I think that we should build on the good players that we have. It would make no sense to dump productive players. What we need is a coaching staff that can coach, build our identity around the players we have. If we dump our best players, we would be worst off because we'd have to get them were we already are, then we'd still need what we need right now...Coachingthat is more of the same.....
our leaders are Gross, Smith, Gamble, etc......and everyone talks about how leadership in Carolina had be horrible. Front office guys. Coaches. etc.
We need to be gutted of the Fox era boys. If you played in a NFCCG with Fox......it is time to go.

Look hers my list of players that you will see leave this off season.
Dwill HB $8.7M
Gamble CB $9.75M
Murphy WR $1.26M
Clausen QB $815K
Brokel FB/TE $465K
A Edwards WR $668K
Munnerlyn CB $1.323M
Martin FS $850K
Beason LB $5.50M I dont see him staying or wanting to stay if Luke stays MLB
Gross OT $11.5M Will be cut or they attempt to redue his contract $11.5 this season
Hartsock TE $1.040M
Thats almost $42M off the cap that we can do without. Due to age or skills or the fact we do noit need 3 QB's, 4-5 TE's and so on
Unfortunately you have to look at the net impact to the cap and that usually means you will only come out ahead on players going into the last year or two of a big contract. It does no good to waive or trade someone like Beason because his remaining bonus is greater than his 2013 salary + 2013 bonus. The hit to the 2013 cap is lower if we keep him. We can ask a player to restructure but that's up to the player. Unfortunately Hurney locked up several players who fall into this category so the new GM does not have much wiggle room.
It's been a while since I looked but I think the only three salaries that looked like no brainers were Gross, Gamble and Ron Edwards. I think we could free up something like 12 million between those three players if we outright release them. There are some special rules regarding release dates, IR contract rules and some other things that might be to our advantage but I think if you want real chunks of cap room you will have to look at those three players.
I'm only looking at this from a numbers perspective. This is not a comment on the talent of those players.
I do remember last spring seeing that we were paying Lee Ziemba something close to $1M for 2012 and I could not figure out how a 7th round pick managed to get a contract like that.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:07 PM
will be the same ones saying we have no leadership next season.

How Drew Barrymore Found Her North Star
By Marshall Heyman
Special Offers
Barrymore wasn't on bed rest leading up to her daughter's birth, but she confesses to barely ever leaving her house when pregnant. "I didn't go out for like six or seven months. It was really nice to just get quiet," she says of the nesting mode.
"I cleaned out every single drawer in my house," she says. "I went through storage units. That's how I lived my days. They say cats run around shredding paper before they're about to give birth. That's exactly how I was."
As she gained weight, satisfying her cravings and feasting on tamales and Key lime cheesecake from Magnolia Bakery, so did her husband so much so that she recently bought him a 10-pack of classes at the spin studio SoulCycle to work off some of the sympathy weight.
Barrymore confides that she refuses to stress about her own post-baby shape. "I'm still working on it, but I'm not worrying about it. We live in a society where everyone's like, 'Look at how amazing she looks two weeks out [from giving birth],' " she observes. "I don't want to be on that hamster wheel; that's hell. I'm never going to have the kind of body that makes me excited about bikini season," she says. "I've never had a 'beach body.' But I want to feel like I'm showing up and doing my best. My goal is to be nice to myself, gentle toward myself, during this process. It's such a sacred time."
Even without the overlay of a recent pregnancy, Barrymore isn't one to fret over a few extra pounds: "I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance. Of course I want to look good in clothes. And it never makes me feel good when somebody who has an insane figure tells me, 'I eat whatever I want.' I'm like, 'Thank you so much for making me feel like crap.' I know if I eat whatever I want, I will not look amazing. So it's all about balance for me. But I don't want perfection; I don't actually believe in it. What I've learned along the way is, work with what you have; embrace what you've been given. Don't fight against it."
This easy-does-it ethos permeates every aspect of her life as a new mom. "I've been telling myself to be calm. Calm in crisis, calm in the morning calm, calm, calm. I've approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus," she explains.
Right now, there is no place she would rather be than at home, in sweatpants, with Kopelman and Olive. (She laughs and admits that on some days, only one of the legs in those sweatpants might be shaved; if Olive starts crying in the middle of Barrymore's shower, she bolts grooming can wait.)
"My favorite thing about being a mom is just what a better person it makes you on a daily basis," she admits. "Every morning when I wake her up, the endgame is, Can I get her to smile? And that puts me in a good mood. It's definitely a different way to live and a much better one."
Family is such a focus for Barrymore now because hers was so fractured and troubled during her childhood. She was born into the acting profession, the granddaughter of the legendary John Barrymore. At 11 months old, she was already appearing in commercials. She was 7 years old when audiences fell in love with her as the little girl in E.T.
Her mother, Jaid, who split from Barrymore's father when Barrymore was young, famously took her daughter along on the New York City party circuit, to Studio 54 and elsewhere. At 13, an angelic-looking Barrymore was already in rehab with substance-use issues. At 15, she legally emancipated herself from her parents. At 19, she was posing for Playboy magazine.
It took until 2004, when Barrymore's father was on his deathbed, for a reconciliation to take place.
"My friendships," she says, "are like my original family." Juvonen, her business partner and best friend, "is the hero of my life and the family I didn't have," she says the person who taught her that happiness is a choice anyone can make.
"I'd never seen someone wave that flag in such an obvious way," Barrymore says gratefully. She likensJuvonen to her husband, Kopelman, because "they're both from really strong families, and they have a great stable foundation under them."
She expects to raise her family in the same kind of way. "Oh, my God," Barrymore says, "I will literally fight like a lion to keep my family happy and intact. Maybe I wouldn't feel that way if I'd had a great family growing up. This is my time for that, and I will never take it for granted."
In January, Barrymore gave birth to another kind of baby, her own makeup business: Flower cosmetics. Even with her intense focus on the film industry, she has always pursued other ventures. A naturally creative spirit, she can't resist dabbling and then some in new interests. Last spring, despite her focus on wedding preparations, she brought to market a pinot grigio under the label "Barrymore." The company motto: "From our family to yours."
The Flower collection will be sold exclusively at Walmart. The line embodies her dream of offering superior quality at a cost anyone can afford. "That's my goal," she says. "Women deserve something beautiful and unattainable they wouldn't get otherwise."
An actress her whole life, Barrymore has had ample opportunity to try a huge range of beauty products. CoverGirl was so impressed with her know-how that it made her a co-creative director during her five-year-long stint as a spokeswoman for the brand. She's always felt that makeup can ease a lot of superficial troubles.
"Throwing a little bit of paint on my face, that's going to make me a feel a lot better," she admits.
Developing Flower "was kind of like being pregnant," Barrymore explains. Creating makeup, she adds, "is very nurturing and romantic; it's about coming up with formulas that you think are beautiful. You think a lot about what a woman might want."
Working on shades and lipsticks also made her think about her legacy and building a business for her children (yes, she wants more of them). "I would really like to do things in life that make my kids proud. With something like this, they could work on the business in the future. Maybe my daughter would want to run the company one day when she's older," Barrymore muses.
More than that, she hopes the message of her brand will resonate with women everywhere. "It's about loving the way you look, and it's coming from a person who believes happiness is really the best makeup in the world. That's something you cannot paint on. There's nothing you can put on your face that comes in a tube that's going to be as amazing as a smile. Wait, I take it back!" she says with a laugh. "You can find happiness in a tube, and it's called concealer!"
One thing the line likely won't have is an emphasis on high-tech anti-aging products. Here's why: When it comes to getting older Barrymore will be 38 this month she has taught herself to "embrace it. Do not fight it. Because guess what? You will not win that battle."
Embracing the ups and downs of life and staying calm seems to be Barrymore's newfound happiness formula. Looking back on the difficult times she often experienced before Olive, before Kopelman, before Flower Films, Barrymore says if she could meet her younger self, she would tell her that every day she'd come across things that would feel like the end of the world. " 'And all of that stress and anxiety and worry you will later know that you don't need that.' But frankly, if I'd heard that, I don't know if I would have listened."
She pauses for a moment and smiles. "I'm just glad I know that now."

Maybe I'm naive, but I was shocked to see the level of racism I saw while on vacation in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. I am a Spanish major and went to Little Havana for the cultural experience. People were looking at me as if I were Fidel himself. At a gas station, a white guy next to me just started calling black people "n******". Give me a break! Be strong, break the status quo, and see people for their personalities, not their skin hues!! Over here, on the West Coast, we've managed to progress beyond this ignorance.

Better Place For Our Family - 1/17/2014 I am a native of Miami Dade County, Florida. I have lived here all of my life, but the place I grew up in is nothing like the place it is today. The cost of living is through the roof and the pay is below the standard cost of living. A degree counts for nothing in the job market here, because unemployment is substantially high and you have more educated people applying for the same positions, so employer can get away with pay ridiculously low wages. People here no longer speak English as the first language. Spanish is the norm. You will always be addressed in Spanish, before being addressed in English. The crime rate is through the roof and 70% of people are on welfare. There is always someone trying to hustle or scam you out of money. Business owners here have a hard time collecting revenue for services rendered. It is a terrible place for the middle class family, trying to raise well rounded, law abiding family.

Traffic - 1/11/2013 Bad traffic and crazy drivers[Comment on this Posting]
No Value for your Money - 12/25/2012 I have lived in Miami since 1993. I moved here from Central America and must say I am itching to get out. Let's start with how expensive it is. The "good" neighborhoods are far in between and I can count them with one hand. That being said, even if you sacrifice and pay the price to live in a top notch neighborhood you're not guaranteed a school to match. The very FEW public schools that are reputable are also the same ones that bus in the kids from the poorer section therefore ruining the demographics and bringing in some of the crime you "paid" to get your kids away from. Then there's the traffic. My joke is that everyone here is an undercover taxi driver because that's all people here seem to do: DRIVE! Morning rush hour, lunch rush hour, afternoon rush hour...it never ends. Top that with majority who don't respect the traffic laws, are unaware that the left lane is for PASSING and the overall rudeness and road rage that prevails here...well, it makes you want to run for the hills (not drive). The superficiality of this city is like no other. Tinseltown of the east coast mixed in with the the overall lack of IQ leaves you scratching your head. And yes, the population is diverse. People from all over but not necessarily the cream of the crop. More like the uneducated trash that thrives on the "lifestyle". People here have no interest in learning about anything that doesn't revolve around Miami or South Beach. The only good thing I have to say about Miami is that it's warm all year round. But if you're longing for a warm place to raise your family skip Miami and head elsewhere.[Comment on this Posting]
New Start - 6/30/2012 I am a single parent of a 10 yr old and I live in Miami-Dade county Fla . I have been living here all my life . The cost of living is thru the ROOF , the area that I live in has 80% of crime on a daily . But the good thing is everyone is like a big family , most people have grown up with each other and our kids are doing the same thing . Ever thing is near by if you dont have a car , the schools are wonderful and hands on . I just need a new start where my son can be able to do all the same things he does now without to much change and less crime as well as less cost . But i cant move out of this state all of my famliy is here and that would be a HUG drawback for my son since he is so close to my mom and dad . Please tell me what cities in fla are best for me . Thanks[Comment on this Posting]
questions about three different cities ( Miami , S - 5/27/2012 Hey guys , We 2 friends are gonna go to the USA in 2 months , we are scholars of a oil company. We will select a city in 10 days and we have to decide it as soon as possible. We wonder ; How is housing ? people in the cities ? we will have limited budget "max.1500 bucks per month per person " and just wonder, is it enough to live well ? we may rent a studio flat for 2 of us to reduce the cost. and we have other selections such as ; sf , sb ,houston , austin , miami , st.petersburg , tampha , new york ... thank you in advance [Comment on this Posting]
Miami - 5/8/2012 Listen people always want to be neg no matter what...if someone decides to move to miami...etc...let them try it out...sure like every where unemployment is there...but if you want to change that up....go to school get a degree that is in high demand...then you can afford what ever you want depending your job. I did just that...got a degree...and I'm doing way better. [Comment on this Posting]
Pats in Miami - 2/18/2012 Miami is not a good place for pets! High temperatures and ignorant people = a disaster for animals. Due to the largly high latin culture in Miami, we have plenty of diversity and that is a bonus, but not for animals. People leave them tied up, left outdoors in heat and often abandoned.People here think they are objects and have no concerns for them.[Comment on this Posting]
Great place to live, if you're rich - 2/18/2012 Miami was named #1 and West Palm Beach #3 most miserable places to live in the US by a major magazine. There are beautiful safe areas but 99% of us can't afford to live there. The rest of the area is still expensive but has a high violent crime rate. "Florida Move Guide" says that high unemployment, high crime, high foreclosures, low wages for most jobs and high humidity 9-10 months a year combine to make South FL anything but paradise. Use the stats on Sperling to check out any place you are thinking of moving to, you don't want to be the next victim.[Comment on this Posting]
Only the most expensive areas are safe! - 1/27/2012 If you are wealthy there are areas that are safe in the Miami Ft LTDL area to live. The Florida Move Guide warns to check the crime stats of any area you nare thinking of moving. The cheapest home prices and rents usually mean high crime areas that you will not be happy living in. [Comment on this Posting]
Want a safe place to live in Miami? - 1/17/2012 Then you better have a ton of money! There are relatively safe areas to live in the Miami area, usually close to the beach but you have to be one of the 1% to be able to afford it. The rest of us 99% would have to live in mostly high crime areas. According to the "Florida Move Guide", the cost of living is high and the area has a high turn over rate. Many move to FL looking for paradise but over 1000 people a day move out of FL. 9 months of hot/humid weather isn't for everyone.[Comment on this Posting]
Raised in NYC moved to Miami. - 12/6/2011 Whether is Broward, Miami, Homestead, South Beach, Miami lakes, or Kendal, South Florida is the worst place to live if you plan on raising kids here. This place lacks culture, diversity (not only Hispanics) and humility. I have been here for 5 years now and hate it!! Don't be fooled yes its beautiful but to vacation. Almost everyone has the same mentality that is passed on from generation to generation and rooted from years of suppression in other countries. The real freedom of America is not seen here. Education is not a priority. Teachers with degrees from other countries and heavy accents are teaching our students to read. Money is a priority here and everyone has a hustle. In the work place skill is not a requirement is who you know and where you come from. Labor laws are non-existent here since everyone is dispensable to that one worker who is willing to work for less pay and no benefits. This is a mentality brought here from other countries without labor laws or civil rights. A mentality adopted by the average worker here. And is the normal here. Yes woman, you can say woman are beautiful here and that depends on what you consider beautiful. And by that, I don't mean the latest boob job. Even the weather lady at the local news channel looks like she came out of a playboy magazine. This is the American dream here in South Florida. Don't Move here if you value union rights, education, real diversity, culture and originality. ;) Thank me later![Comment on this Posting]
Must be rich to be safe here, there are much bette - 11/18/2011 There are a few nice areas to live in Miami but you must have a lot of money to live there. Outside those areas its dangerous, like living in a 3rd world country filled with poverty and crime. According to FBI statistics, Miami is one of the most dangerous cities in the US. There are much better places to live a better live in Florida near beautiful beaches and for a lot less money. [Comment on this Posting]
weather in Miami - 10/24/2011 Great weather in Miami[Comment on this Posting]
Traffic in Miami - 10/22/2011 Coming from Wisconsin, it was quite the culture shock to come to South Florida....For any Wisconsinite who reads this, you will know what I mean. Just last week I heard on the radio that Miami had the worst traffic in the US and also the Rudest drivers...I believe this to be true! I have never in all my driving career which has been 40 years, seen such rude and thoughtless driving as those in Miami. I have gotten to the point that job or no job, I am making my husband move me back to Wisconsin. People don't know how to be kind and let someone merge or know how to use a blinker. If they have lights out on their car, be it headlights, tail lights or brake lights, they don't get them fixed, they just keep driving dangerously without them. The police in Wisconsin will pull you over for that infraction, in Florida they just speed by you, which to me is the crux of the problem. The other thing I have a real problem with is that when an emergency vehicle comes up with lights and siren going, people just keep driving and don't let them get to where they are going to help the injured or dying people. I often wish that anyone who impedes the progress of these emergency vehicles will have the ones they love lay dying while waiting for the ambulance to get through to them. This would never happen in Wisconsin where we immediately pull over to let them through. Having said all this, I wish everyone who resides here luck in navigating the sea of impatient and rude people who do not care about their fellow human being....I am going back to sanity and nice people.....[Comment on this Posting]

The Hundred Hands of Trauma |
Support the gift of life by donating blood through the American Red Cross.
The "Hundred Hands of Trauma" was coined when a Trauma Surgeon reached out his hand to a mother whose daughter's life was in jeopardy as they boarded the elevator for the operating room. Later, the surgeon stated, "Me reaching out is just one hand that she sees or that the family sees, but there's a hundred hands that are involved in the care of a trauma patient."
Palmetto Health Richland Trauma Center, the only Level I Trauma Center in the Midlands, has held Level I designation since 1980. Level I status is the highest ranking a hospital can achieve and there are only four Level I Trauma Centers in the state, all designated by the Department of Health and Environmental Control.
A Level 1 facility is a regional resource trauma center and a tertiary care facility that provides leadership and total care for every aspect of injury, from prevention through rehabilitation. The Trauma Team services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to provide care to the traumatically injured patient. Not only does Palmetto Health Richland Trauma Program treat local patients, hospitals in sixteen counties send their most critically injured patients to Palmetto Health Richland, transporting them by ambulance or, if necessary, via a medical transport helicopter.
The Trauma Program Team at Palmetto Health Richland is a multidisciplinary team composed of trauma and specialty surgeons, emergency medicine and other specialty physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and other health care professionals. This multidisciplinary team provides the care for the most serious injuries occurring in South Carolina. The Trauma Program treats and cares for more than 2,000 multiple-injured people each year.
Contact the communication center at Palmetto Health Richland for consultation and patient referrals to the Trauma Program:

Hanson Sciannella Residence, Rockville, Md.
Julia Heine, McInturff Architects
Subtle low-voltage strip lights illuminate the maple-covered hallway soffit. The liberal use ofglass throughout the house and a living room skylight allowsunlight to stream into each space.
mcinturff architects, bethesda, md.
The judges admired this interior transformation of a formerly dark, chopped-up ranch house. "It's unique because it stays in its original footprint yet changes so dramatically," said one.
Architect Mark McInturff removed several interior walls to maximize the flow of natural light, and moved the kitchen to the house's rear corner. The slight reconfiguration opened up sight lines between rooms and gave him the chance to exploit those long views for all they're worth. "We used a different color of plaster for each room, so the eye is naturally drawn through the series of spaces," he says. "The dropped soffit that runs the length of the hallway does the same thing, skewering each room like a kebab."
Maple cabinetry and floors enhance the project's ethereal tone.

At the recent TSMC OIP, I had an interesting discussion with a TSMC employee (who shall remain nameless), regarding 450mm wafers. The gist of the discussion was that EUV has become a gating item for the move to 450mm wafers. Why are these two related? They are connected at the purse strings. It will cost billions (with a B) to build a 450mm wafer fab. It will cost billions to go to EUV. Why pay this … Read More

Existing rock ledges unify the three houses and make them part of something larger than property lines.
The black siding, used as a skateboard surface in parks, is made of recycled paper and resin.
The three companion houses changed the neglected property's density, thus fitting it into the larger community. The kitchen in Salmela's home overlooks Duluth and its harbor.
The Clure Project's floor plans.
salmela architect, duluth
No doubt it's because the unassuming homes foster community by making the neglected pocket neighborhood part of the larger one in density and scale. New plat lines respond to elevation shifts and views of the Lake Superior harbor. "There are no lawns, just native grasses running over the whole site," says David Salmela, FAIA. "We intentionally tried to hide the property lines, so the place has a European courtlike quality."
The judges praised Salmela's craftsmanlike use of materials—many of them local—and his Scandinavian pragmatism.
