Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a vaginal ultrasound for heavy bleeding and they found calcifications on my cervix. What are these and what should I expect? Thank you.
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Most causes of calcifications of the cervix are benign in nature. They may be a result of prior injury to the cervix, such as from normal labor and delivery, dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedures, cervical biopsies, abortion, infection, etc. In other cases, various salts may crystallize in the tissue and cause this appearance on ultrasound, as may old resolving blood in the tissue. Very rarely, calcifications in the cervix may be a sign of cancer . Given your history of heavy bleeding, you may want to discuss the results with your doctor and see if any additional tests are indicated.
Mar 4, 2015 - Women who undergo loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix, a procedure widely used for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, face a doubled risk of spontaneous singleton preterm delivery, according to a study published in the July issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Are you planning to relocate from your place to another location? If yes, you will require a local removalist to help you in your movement.
A removalist will help you be able to move more effectively instead of trying to go through the movement process by yourself. With most people moving or relocating from their places because of different reasons such as job transfer or moving to their homes, there has been an increased number of local removalists in the market.
The high number of the removalists makes it a daunting task to select the most effective one to hire. Thus, you will need to consider several factors as you go through the selection process. This article gives you a comprehensive guide on several factors that you must consider in order to choose a good wrecker. Here are the factors…
One of the major factors that you must look for is the number of years a certain wrecker has been offering similar services in the market. It is advisable to choose a local removalist with more than five years of experience or more to assist in the process. A wrecker with several years of experience has the ability to offer high quality moving services out of the skills and knowledge gained in those many years.
Such as removalist will be able to provide customized moving services according to your specific moving needs. If you find a removalist with many years of experience, you can be assured that the services offered are excellent, thus making it possible to sustain the services in the current high competitive market. You can use Way Back Machine to check the age of a website which can help to determine how old a company is.
Just like in any other kind of business, a local removalist company should have employees who are highly qualified to provide the services. You will not like to hire a company with removalists who will waste a lot of time packing your belongings or causing damages to your items during the transit process.
Thus, before you enter into any agreement with any moving service, you must first verify that it has competent employees who will ensure you have a smooth movement without causing any inconveniences or loss. The good thing is that in the modern days there are several organization providing certifications for removalists, so this should not be an excuse for a company to have incompetent employees in this field. Check out the B.A.R. website for information on removal company qualifications in the UK.
When choosing a local removalist, consider the reputation it has in the market. To determine the reputation, check at clients reviews on their sites. Always choose a mover with more positive reviews. You can also know the reputation through recommendations from friends, relatives or other clients who have used similar services before. Check our LRT Removalists Melbourne for an example of a company with great reputation.
All local removalists must be licensed by the relevant authorities to offer their services in the market. This is a business like any other, and every company must have all legal documents required by the state. When doing the selection, you will need to ask to verify the documents from the companies to ensure you do not fall victim of unscrupulous movers who may be out there just to make money from you and offer poor services.
Choosing a licensed local removalist is important because for any issue that may arise in the process, you are assured that you are dealing with a moving service that is recognized by the law. A mover with the required legal documents demonstrates commitments and dedication in providing good services because there are certain requirements that a company must meet in order to be licensed. As you check the license, make sure that it is valid to avoid hiring a mover using outdated license as you will not miss such companies in the modern market.
Insurance cover
When choosing local removalists, you need to ensure that you get one that has an insurance cover. Working with a mover without an insurance cover is risky because you stand high chances of incurring losses without any compensation. An insurance cover is crucial as it helps you have peace of mind because you know that for any loss, damage or injury that may occur during the transit process, you are not liable.
The moving company is liable for all such damages or losses because such things are covered by the insurance. In addition, if you find a mover without an insurance cover, you need to consider their commitment in this delicate business. Therefore, make sure you hire a firm that has the relevant insurance that will cover you from the beginning to the end of the transit process. Some larger removal companies like Crown Relocations have their own insurance cover like their CrownCare program.
This is another major factor that you must consider. Different local removalists charge different prices for their services. Therefore, you must take your time to search or shop for a mover who charges the most affordable price that fits your budget. All you need to do is to make comparison of the different prices by different movers to get the one that is reasonable.
When considering the price, it is advisable to avoid the cheapest local removalists because they may end up offering low quality services. In most cases, such movers who charge a very low price may not be competent to offer the level of the moving services that you may require. At the same time avoid the ones who charge very high price because they might just be there to make money from you. A good mover will charge a reasonable price that is not too low or too high. Do your research on forums like forums.moneysavingexpert.com to find out how much is a reasonable amount to pay for a removalist company in your area.
Consider hidden charges
You must be very careful of local moving services who will provide you with quotes that do not include the entire cost. Note that there are companies that will charge you for any overtime the removalists work according to your deadline in the agreement. There are also those who will charge you for extra services that they offer, for example, packing and unpacking your belongings.
Therefore, you should first consider if a mover will offer packing, unpacking and any other services that you may require. You should agree on all this before you sign the agreement to avoid inconveniences brought on your budget by such hidden costs. Choose a firm that provides you with the full cost, so that you can plan your budget effectively.
Is the removalist based locally?
This is a question you need to ask yourself as you shop or search for a removalist. It is advisable to choose local removalists because it is even easy to come into agreement with such a mover compared to those based outside your locality. A local mover understands the area well, so you can be assured of safety during the moving process. Google Maps can be a good way to find a removal company that are located close to where you are moving from and to.
We hope that our advice will help you to have an easy move to your new home or office. Good luck!

Thread: What is (qualifies as) Sci-Fi ?

Yes, you gave a definition of real world science. I gave a definition of science fiction science. Not the same.
Nothing in the scientific principle requires that the results scientists obtain by exercising it must be retroactively "plausible" to people of earlier ages. By stating that to be "science fiction" a tale must be constructed round science that is "plausible" to the folk of our age, you are creating your own definition of "science", and it is at considerable variance with the consensus definition. The Lewis Carroll character is a classic, well-known metaphor for folk who use words by will in a manner materially different from the norm; invoking it is gentle reproof, not dire insult, but frankly, have it as you will.
When trying to describe the science in much science fiction, you encounter things like positronic brains, hyperspace, cloaking devices, downloading brain patters, and various ESP abilities. None of these things exists in the realms of real science or even theoretical science. So, for science fiction, I refer to these and plausible science; meaning that they are treated as future developments of science that sound like they could happen. Vern and Wells did a lot of this and it is usually the arena that inspires scientists to expand our horizons. As I said before, because of Star Trek, warp drive has migrated form plausible to theoretical, as has the transporter. In other words, it has migrated from pure science fiction into real world science, at least on the theoretical level.
October 6th, 2012, 03:24 AM #48
This is my last try.
The genre (especially particular sub-genres) is chock full things that make real scientists cringe. The definition I gave, that you have complained about, is for what to consider as science (or sciencey enough) to separate science fiction from fantasy.
Last try: science is a generation's best understanding of the impersonal laws that regulate the cosmos, and is necessarily educible by application of the scientific principle. Nobody give a flying wahoo whether or not it makes anyone "cringe" in the way that Einstein's work made most physicists of his day cringe.
None of these things exists in the realms of real science or even theoretical science. Yeah, and . . . ? Did curved space exist in the realms of real science or even theoretical science before relativity was propounded and, eventually, deomonstrated?
The only requirement on the "science" in a science-fiction tale is that it be presented as the impersonal laws of the cosmos as found by application of the scientific principle. THE END.

I saw your reply on the blog, and I think you misunderstood the article when you're talking about the science of science fiction. The author has posted his own reply over there so I won't go into detail.
Anyway, why should SF strive to teach kids about science? If people want to learn about science they should read science fact (many of which are written in interesting ways). If you want science fiction to focus purely on the scientific aspects instead of things like character development, that's your own personal opinion, and there's plenty of "hard SF" out there, but not all science fiction has to be held by whatever laws Clarke or Asimov came up with.
To answer the question, science fiction is a story where something that vaguely resembles "science" (as opposed to explicit magical/supernatural phenomenon) is used to drive a story. It doesn't matter if the science is accurate or even theoretically possible, but ideally it should stay within its own established rules (then again fantasy should do the same).
October 6th, 2012, 10:35 AM #50
You can think I misunderstood whatever you want. You will have a hard time finding a science fiction book that explains a lot about science. But it will not be that hard to find SF that uses correct terminology in a correct manner. Then anyone that wants to can find real information in encyclodedia and real science books.
SF does not strive for anything. SF is an abstraction. What a particular SF writer strives for is his business.
I provided a link to a video with Cold As Ice by Charles Sheffield and an explanation of von Neumann machines. Sheffield uses the term quite often but he is referring to what John von Neumann called Universal Constructors. But the term has another meaning. I don not think it was John von Neumann who created the term. Other people did and gave it two different meanings.
But if you do a little research you will find that most computer science books today do not use it at all.
I have never suggested that ALL SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS use or describe good science. But it does seem that most SF discussed by so called sci-fi fans does not.It is like Gibbson's "Golden Ghetto" comment. The Liberal Arts people invaded SF and took over for the money and kicked the science out.
October 6th, 2012, 10:47 AM #51
Unless it stays within the established rules of pyramids and crystals and mystical cosmic harmony. In which case it should be burnt before reading more than the minimum required to determine guilt.
In my personal opinion a book is SF if I say it is......and noone will convince me otherwise. All of my opinions are facts. I have a teeshirt that says so, so it must be true.
(where's a tongue in cheek smiley when you want one?)
October 6th, 2012, 11:30 AM #52
In my opinion Arthur C. Clarke came up with the perfect quote for people like you.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
I once asked a PhD economist to explain how a piston engine worked. He could not do it. He did own a car. For him, his car was magic. Of course he would not admit that and would regard himself as intelligent and educated.
That is what is so absurd about today's society. Computers everywhere. People using computers to access the Internet to say science is unimportant in science fiction. Oh, the Irony!

Yea, but then it wouldn't be classified as science fiction anyway. Not that I mind if writers use mystical crystals or pyramid power in their stories as long as they don't pretend that it's anything other than fantasy.
People like me? Are you serious?
Just because I don't think science fiction needs to have accurate science to be classified as such, it doesn't mean that I think science itself is unimportant. In fact I'm doing my masters in human genetics, so don't presume that I'm some sort of anti-science loony.
Also there's no more reason for an economist to know anything about physics, than there is for a chemist to know anything about the history of Pakistan. What you're saying is that scientific knowledge is the only form of intelligence. Do you consider that not everyone is interested in learning about the same things? How many physicists are interested in economics? How many people here do you think have any knowledge of computer programming? Not everyone chooses to be "educated" in the same subjects. Believe it or not, most people can live perfectly normal and productive lives without knowing anything about how their television works.
Like I said, if I want science I'll read a text book or a science website. I look for other qualities in fiction, such as plot, character development, explorations of humanity, and maybe even just plain ol' shallow entertainment. I don't know why someone who's apparently so intelligent can't understand that. I'm not talking about being ignorant of basic facts (like the pointless video you posted), I'm talking about not needing a science lesson in our fiction. Many "soft" SF writers have science degrees as well, but they don't feel the need to be bound by current scientific understanding in their works.
No, it would be ironic if people who used the internet said that technology in real life was unimportant.
I forgot about all those older thoroughly scientific works like Lensmann.Last edited by JoshuaD; October 6th, 2012 at 06:17 PM.

That our opinions do not agree. What is so hard to grasp about that? Why must my definition and yours be the same?
This thread is starting to go off the deep end with various conversations all on the verge of becoming heated because our opinions differ. That's the whole point, a discussion of opinions. I think we all need to take a breath, calm down, and remember that WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE (or can agree to disagree).
October 7th, 2012, 12:11 AM #55
People talking past each other, people (including me) tilting at windmills, Psik being Psik. We seem to have this thread over and over and it always devolves. To the same base arguments. Sigh, entropy in action.
I suppose I just don't see the value in defining SF so tightly as to force out the vast majority of the SF that is enjoyed by the majority if whatever fans still remain. Keep going and we can define our genre out of existence save a few self published physicists. We have even had people on here complain about the lack of science in the works of that notorious hater of all things scientific, Alastair Reynolds. It has gone too far. Can't we all just get along? (not, of course, at speeds faster than the speed of light. That would be science fantasy)

We live today in an age that has extended the idea of equality and entitlement too far: into the zone of the actual.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this week's edition of 'Science Today'. Our topic this week is the origin and constitution of Earth's moon. On my left is Professor Arnold Savant, a doctor of both physics and astronomy and current head of the astrophysics program at YIT; for many years now, Dr Savant has expressed the view that the moon was formed by a collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized protoplanet during the formation of the early solar system, and he believes that recent data from lunar orbiters on the implied mass distributions within Luna enhance the probability of his theory. On my right is Mr Melvin Kowznofski, an unemployed plumber's assistant from Secaucus, New Jersey, who believe that the moon is made of green cheese, and was placed in its present orbit 352 years ago by The Flying Spaghetti Monster. We'll hear first from Mr Kowznofski, right after these messages."
And that is not A Good Thing.

There is so much variation in science fiction to try to come up with a blanket description makes no sense. I provided three examples on which to base a discussion of the variations to try to come up with categories.
But no one even said they read all three stories to make comparisons. Without categories then the worst and dumbest stuff that meets some definition must be included. But what good does such a definition by itself do us?
October 7th, 2012, 12:40 PM #58
If, after I have put it several different ways, you still think I am redefining science, then your reading comprehension skills are lacking. I did what any good writer does, add a modifying word to alter the base word to create something new. I see no point in repeating myself further as you have not carefully read what I have written previously and instead have jumped to your own conclusions about what I meant without carefully examining what it was I actually said.
That is quite enough of this conversation.

I hope that I am not making a point that has been made by many posters earlier but there do seem to be two different types of science fiction.
To illustrate one type, we can note that if you read Egan's Quarantine, you encounter an interpretation of quantum mechanics that no one has ever seriously considered but you might be drawn into trying to understand the issue of the observer in QM. If you read Watts' Blindsight, you might feel tempted to read about scientific theories of consciousness. If you read Vinge's Fire upon the Deep or Stross' Accelerando, you might look at ideas of a singularity while if you read Rainbow's End, you might become concerned about possible developments of biotechnology. Thus all of those fairly recent novels could cause a reader to use Google to look for further information or even possibly visit a library.
Another type of science fiction, for example one of Roger Zelazny's novels, might be equally enjoyable but is not so likely to cause a reader to search for information about the science mentioned (although they might look up Hindu theology).
I suspect that Psik feels that reading the first type is more likely to lead to our society having a better understanding of its technology and that this should be encouraged.

I like to divide it into three types (a variation on Asimov's proposal) - "hard" SF, classic/adventure SF and "literary"/social SF. I'm more likely to read works from the latter two types (both for different reasons). That's not to say that all hard SF is bad, but works that have no merit apart from the science factor are not worth my (and probably several others') time. That says nothing about my opinion on science itself. I don't think you'd find too many SF fans tell you that they don't read much hard science fiction much purely because they hate science.
I don't know what's the fuss is about anyway, while the hardest of hard SF may not always get high praise from some of the more prominent professional critics, user reviews on sites such as Amazon are generally in favor of such works, and almost every SF forum seems to have people who praise works solely for the hardness factor. I've seen too many amateur reviewers dismiss entire works purely because they contained inaccurate science. Not counting the more household name authors like Card, Herbert, Asimov, etc., you're more likely to find people discussing Egan and Vinge than Zelazny and Harrison on non SF forums as well. You're also far more likely to find forums and websites dedicated to hard science fiction than forums that exclude it.
I suspect that Psik feels that reading the first type is more likely to lead to our society having a better understanding of its technology and that this should be encouraged.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former confidential informant working for the United States in Colombia claims in a lawsuit that the U.S. government abandoned her when she got into legal trouble for her undercover operations.
Astrid Hurtado says she wound up spending three years in a Colombian jail. She is seeking $15 million in damages.
The 52-year-old Hurtado worked for a U.S. task force investigating money laundering.
A 2006 U.S. government document says Hurtado's work led to the investigation, prosecution and guilty pleas of three people on drug-money-laundering charges.
According to her lawsuit, the U.S. government didn't come to her aid after she was arrested in Colombia. The Justice Department has asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
No one from the U.S. government would comment on the lawsuit.

Hydrocele repair is surgery to correct the swelling of the scrotum that occurs when you have a hydrocele. A hydrocele is the backup of fluid around a testicle.
Baby boys sometimes have a hydrocele at birth. Hydroceles also occur in older boys and men. Sometimes they form when there is also a hernia (an abnormal bulging of tissue) present. Hydroceles are fairly common.
Surgery to repair a hydrocele is often done at an outpatient clinic, not a hospital. The patient will receive general anesthesia and will be asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
In a baby or child:
In adults, the cut is usually made on the scrotum. The surgeon then drains the fluid after removing part of the hydrocele sac.
Hydroceles often go away on their own in children, but not in adults. Most hydroceles in infants will go away by the time they are 2 years old.
Your surgeon may recommend hydrocele repair if the hydrocele:
It may also be done if there is a hernia .
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
An anesthesiologist is a doctor who specializes in pain control and giving pain medicines. He or she will talk with you about your or your child's medical history. This information helps the doctor choose the type and amount of anesthesia to use.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription. Also tell your doctor if you have any drug allergies or if you have had bleeding problems in the past.
Several days before surgery, adults may be asked to stop taking aspirin or other drugs that affect blood clotting. These include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), some herbal supplements, and others.
You or your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before the procedure.
Take the medicines your doctor told you take with a small sip of water.
Patients usually recover quickly. Most can go home a few hours after surgery. Children should take it easy and rest more than usual the first few days after surgery. Normal activity can usually start again in about 4 to 7 days.
The success rate for hydrocele repair is very high. The long-term prognosis is excellent, but another hydrocele may form over time, or if there was also a hernia present.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Erin Smith, director of library services and associate professor, will present at the Faires Faculty Forum Wednesday, Jan. 30, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater of the McKelvey Campus Center.
In her talk titled "A Really Useful Thing: An Exploration of Faculty-Created Library Assignments," Smith will share what she learned from her Westminster faculty colleagues about library assignments and their assessment of students' abilities to find and use information. Smith completed the research during her sabbatical to ensure that Westminster's library, which exists to support the information needs of its researchers - largely undergraduate students, was providing the resources and services consistent with classroom assignments.
Smith, who has been with Westminster since 2002, earned undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Tennessee.
The Faculty Forum was established in 1990 by Dr. Barbara Faires, Westminster professor of mathematics emerita, during her term as dean of the college and vice president for academic affairs. Faculty members from all disciplines volunteer to present lectures on their current research, artistic productions, and scholarship of teaching and learning. Each forum presents new ideas with innovative lecture techniques.
Podcasts of the forums are available here.
Contact Smith at (724) 946-7327 or email for additional information.
Contact Charlene Klassen Endrizzi, faculty development officer, at (724) 946-7189 for more information on the Faires Faculty Forum or visit http://www.westminster.edu/acad/faculty_dev/faires_faculty_forum.cfm.

50 years of rock
With a half-century-long career in the music business, they are certainly the longest-lived rock band in the world. We're talking about the Rolling Stones, who are ready to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
It's been a long time since their first gig back in 1962, and yet the hugely successful Jagger/Richards partnership seems ready to get back to work – rumour has it that a tour is planned for 2013.
One thing's for sure: when they got the lucky chance to deputize for Alexis Korner at London's Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, Jagger and Richards – who were not even 20 at the time – did not expect such an outcome.
All they wanted to do was play some good blues, be a serius blues band – maybe equal their idols Muddy Waters e Robert Johnson; the prospect to write songs was still far-off. Yet, instant success flung them into the empyrean of rock stardom.Apart from their broad sales figures, what still strikes most about the Stones is their influence on the world of rock music, and their role in debunking the myth according to which rock music is for young people exclusively.
If you happened to see Mick Jagger dancing on stage or Keith Richards performing his signature grin while playing his Gibson in recent times, then you must have noticed that these guys still know how to have fun and entertain in spite of their age.
To celebrate the anniversary, a lot of events are on their way. Rolling Stones fans will get the chance to see Mick Jagger hosting the season finale of Saturday Night Live and to visit a huge photo exhibition in New York City.
As for the most bizarre form of celebration, the Rolling Stones are to be commemorated in Japan with the release of a new line of alcoholic drinks. And Richards also mentioned that the band will begin rehearsing for a studio session…

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles in the shoulder and upper arm. The muscles help to move the arm at the shoulder and to stabilize the joint. The muscles are connected to the shoulder bone by tendons, which are strong, flexible cords. The muscles or tendons may become damaged from long term overuse or from injury.
Reasons for Procedure
Your doctor may recommend this procedure for:
- A rotator cuff injury which does not respond to rest and physical therapy treatment
- A complete tear in the tendon
- Chronic pain and weakness from a partial tear in the tendon
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Excess bleeding
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Weakness or numbness in shoulder joint
- Detachment of the shoulder muscle
- The operation does not provide the desired improvement in function
The risk of complications and slow healing may be increased.
- Smoking
- Alcohol abuse
- Obesity
- Diabetes or other chronic disease
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
Before this procedure, you will need to:
- Arrange for help at home while you recover
- Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking
- Talk to your doctor about any allergies you have
- Ask your doctor about assisted devices you will need
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure
You may need to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure. Medications that may need to be stopped may include:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen
- Blood-thinning drugs, such as warfarin
- Anti-platelet drugs, such as clopidogrel
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your procedure, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
General anesthesia is typically used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of Procedure
There are two methods used to perform a rotator cuff repair:
The doctor will make a cut in the skin over the shoulder. The torn muscle will be repaired or tendon repaired and reattached and/or anchored with stitches. The incision will then be closed with stitches or staples.
A few small incisions will be made in the shoulder. A narrow tool called an arthroscope will be inserted through the incision. The scope has a tiny camera to allow the doctor to see inside. Other small instruments will be inserted through the other incisions. The doctor will use these tools to repair the tendon or muscle.
After either procedure, the incisions will be bandaged. Your arm will be placed in a sling or brace to immobilize the joint.
How Long Will It Take?
About 1½ to 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may have some discomfort immediately after. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may be able to go home the same day. Some may need to stay in the hospital for one day.
Post-procedure Care
Right after the procedure, you may be given medication, such as:
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication that prevents blood clots
When you return home, take these steps:
When you return home, take these steps:
- Use ice to reduce swelling after the surgery.
- Take the full doses of all medications prescribed.
- Keep the bandage clean and dry at all times.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Do not use the arm until instructed. Wear the sling or brace as directed.
- Unless your job requires heavy lifting, you can usually return to work within a few days after the surgery.
- Follow instructions for physical therapy. Therapy is essential to regain shoulder strength and range of motion.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
The rotator cuff will take several months to heal. It may take some time before you can raise your arm above your shoulder. It may be up to one year before you can hold your arm above your head and do work with reasonable strength. An aggressive and consistent physical therapy and exercise program is the key to a faster recovery.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision site
- Pain cannot be controlled with medications given
- Nausea or vomiting
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- The stitches or staples come apart
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Welcome to the first What if? post.
During the startup of my business I've had a problem. Actually, I've had this problem for some time but it's come to a head while starting my business and throughout evaluating a few opportunities over the last couple of years. I find it hard to find all my stuff.
There's an answer to finding other people's stuff. It's called a search engine. Your friend Google does a pretty good job of finding stuff that other people have published.
There's an answer to organising and categorising stuff online. It's called tagging. You can assign tags or keywords to your bookmarks (e.g. Delicious), your blog posts, your photos (e.g. flickr) etc. Other people can assign tags as well. Everyone is in tagging heaven.
There's an answer to finding stuff on your own computer, and now mobile phones, through local search. Things like Spotlight on the Mac, Google Desktop and the like. You can search your files, emails and contacts. It isn't perfect because you can't alway find exactly what you want.
There's and answer, albeit a very inefficient one, to organising and categorising stuff on your computer. It's called a Folder. Folders have limitations such that it may be necessary to create two files in different locations to be able to find it when you're looking for it. For example, if you want to organise your invoices, do you put them all in an invoices folder or do you stick them in a customer specific invoices folder. Maybe you put it in both? There are a few options for introducing keywords and tagging to files and information on your computer but they are either specific to a file type or they aren't integrated with the underlying file system or miss certain types of information. For example, iPhoto allows you to tag photos, Punkea allows you to tag all broad range of files from across your computer.
So here comes the what if.
What if I had a document in google apps and wanted to be able to see that next to documents I may have created on my computer? What if my gmail contacts showed up next to to documents on my computer authored by that person. What if their twitter feeds and facebook updates showed up with that person as well.
What if there was a universal way of tagging all the information that you create, whether it's offline or online, and a way to search all of that information, irrespective of what and where it is? It would definitely make my life a lot easier . With the proliferation of new online services every day, I would hazard a guess that it will make other people's lives easier as well.
Another way to look at it would be – What if there was a search box that allowed me to look at all the stuff that I have created and saved on my computer and in online services?
Hmm, just a thought.
As with all of my posts, I'm happy to be corrected. Let me know if you've come across anything that already exists or if you want to expand on the What if? Maybe you're in a position to solve the What if? I'd love to hear from you.

Well... yes, a lot of 'anyones' have. There's been loads of experiments, too, to demonstrate how light behaves both as particles (photons) and waves. It can be measured both ways, produced in a host of ways, and is still the fastest known thing in the universe. A great deal of the works of both Newton and Einstein focused (pardon the pun) on light.ixl4 wrote:Has anyone ever considered that energy = light?
Strong electromagnetic energy will manifest into light... a wave that we can pick up with our vision sense.
Just a thought.
capricorn wrote:totally! navagation, some sort of radar...
it seems that part of the argument is "if they dont want to be seen then why do they make themselves so obvious in the sky with these lights?"
i feel that these objects (or whoever pilots them) dont really care what we think. They do not necessarily want to be seen (maybe because they dont want to be shot down by the pesky military), but sometimes they need to flick their "high-beams" on so they can get to where they need to go.
Exactly, if they can travel through space from a distant galaxy, planet or take your pick, they don't care about our military capability!

Caribbean highlights
If you like rum, Rastafarians and reggae, Jamaica will be your version of heaven on earth. Jamaica has world-class diving, fishing and snorkeling (make sure you hit up Ocho Rio), and Caribbean bars filled with fun-loving locals. Whether you're kicking back in Montego Bay, touring Appleton's Estate Rum Distillery or checking out the local wildlife at Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica will get under your skin.
There are stacks of hiking trails to explore on your Caribbean travels, showcasing the beauty of the islands for nothing. The Mastic Trail in Grand Cayman is perfect for spotting wildlife amongst the greenery, while the Bermuda Railway Trail, a scenic 18-mile trail that runs along the old railway track, is best for views and landscapes.
Like a postcard come to life, the Bahamas indulges Caribbean vacation fantasies. Whether you're into nature or culture (both of which can be found in abundance), the Bahamas will amaze and dazzle. Once you've slipped into island mode, take a slow stroll down to the beach, or visit the famed Atlantis on Paradise Island, home to numerous pools, water park rides, dolphin swims and more.
Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is breathtakingly beautiful, with equal measures of Spanish romance and Caribbean relaxation. Luxury all-inclusive resorts abound, but there are plenty of opportunities to get out of the silver service world and back to nature. Find eco-adventures thanks to abundant mountains, waterfalls and tropical forests.
Spiritual spots
For those who would like to explore the spiritual side of life on their Caribbean travels, there are plenty of sacred spots to explore for free. A few notable places include the Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor in Santo Domingo (the oldest cathedral in the Americas, dating back to the 16th century), the Bridgetown Jewish Synagogue in Barbados and the tiny-but-sweet Alto Vista Chapel in Aruba.

I guess, many people who had to find the metric known as "theta-JC" have asked themselves the question great many times: how to measure junction-to-case thermal resistance quickly and accurately? So did my colleagues at MicReD back in 2004/2005 when they had to do contract measurement of over 80 power transistor packages. The usual answer is: read the relevant standard - such as MIL-883 or … Read More

You contradict yourself here. You implied genetics doesn't matter and now you're saying it does matter.
Now here we have government turning on it's own people in violation of their charter to protect the rights of these same people under Amendment 1 in order to protect the benefits and "Entitlements" of others for whom the government and political parties desire their votes. They are buying up votes and making others pay for them against their will and the free expression of their religious beliefs. Government is entering the religion business and substitutiong government religion, by force if necessary, in place of the people's religion. This is feudalism..royalty.
This is nothing new. It's been happening for thousands of years.
