Heather Corinna replies:
My boyfriend and I have sex often, and when we do we use a condom as often as possible. But when we go to get condoms there are so many to choose from! There are ribbed ones, spermicidal, ones that are specified for "her" pleasure and vice versa, ultra thin..and more. What is the difference in all of these? Do any of them really give more pleasure or feel any better than a plain lubricated condom?
There sure are a lot of choices in condom styles now, so it's understandable that the array can leave folks mighty confused!
Here are some of the most common "styles" of condoms out and about these days, and what the what is with each of them:
If you and/or your partner are feeling like you're "not feeling anything," with condoms on, your best bet is to first make sure you're using one of the thinner brands. If you and/or your partner is feeling like MORE friction is better, then the thinner condoms may not be the best choice.
Some brands of thinner condoms are Kimono brand condoms, Durex Ultimate Feeling, Love or Extra Sensitive, Trojan Ultra Thin, Lifestyles Sheer Pleasure, Crown and Beyond Seven.
Plenty of people do enjoy these condoms, and do find it increases some aspects of sensation for them, but it should be noted that for women, since most of our sensory nerve endings are just in the first inch or two of our vaginas -- and the most sensitive part of our vulva is our internal and external clitoris, not our vaginas at all -- if you don't feel any difference yourself, it's likely because most of the condom is inside a place on your body where you just don't feel specific sensations. So, more often than not, it's the male wearers who will feel more difference with these condoms. Overall, if you're not feeling as much sensation with intercourse as you'd like, it's not about the condom, but about your and yours needing to add other sexual activities to the intercourse so that your most sensitive bits are really getting airtime, something vaginal intercourse all by itself more often than not does not provide.
Textured condoms are a good pick, too, if more friction is desired, rather than less. If you like extra sensation around your g-spot, a textured condom may provide a bit more of that. If your partner (or you, if you're the male wearer), likes more sensation around the head of the penis, one of the countoured or pouched condoms may be good for you.
Some brands of textured condoms are the Inspiral, Pleasure Plus, Trojan Intense Ribbed, Her Pleasure or Twisted Pleasure, Lifestyles Dual Pleasure, Kimono Maxx or Type E, Durex Pleasuremax or High Sensation, Crown Studded, Birds N'Bees, Profil or Studded One.
For men with less wide penises, standard condoms may slip off, so they need a smaller ring. For men with wider penises, the ring of a standard condom may pinch painfully, so they need a larger ring. So, if you ever have a partner with whom condoms either slip off or slide up a lot, or one who just looks like he's in agony when he's got a condom on, having condoms of varying sizes can be helpful. But for the most part, most standard condoms really will fit most men.
Some brands of smaller-ringed condoms are Beyond Seven, Lifestyles Snugger, Mamba and Crown. Examples of some larger-ringed condoms are Trojan Magnum, Durex XXL or Avanti, Lifestyles King Size XL, Kimono MicroThin Large and Vivid Large.
If you and/or your partner are latex sensitive or allergic, you'll want to use nonlatex condoms. You or he may also prefer them if you like the condom to move around a bit more on the shaft of the penis, and/ir you want to feel more body heat.
Some brands of nonlatex (polyurethane) condoms are Durex Avanti and Trojan Supra, and the new polyisoprene Lifestyles SKYN condoms (which are about half the cost of other nonlatex condoms, so a big yay on that!).
If you prefer nonlatex condoms, the FC may be a good choice for you. Same goes if you want to be able to put the condom in well before intercourse, if your male partner wants a looser feel with the condom, or if the female wearer wants to be more in charge with condoms.
Some brands of vegan, cruelty-free condoms are Condomi and Glyde condoms.
Some brands of warming condoms are Durex Pleasuremax warming, Lifestyles Warming Pleasure, Trojan Warm sensations or Rough Rider Warming Pleasure. Some common "numbing" condoms are Durex Peformax or Trojan Extended Pleasure.
You'll know if a condom is lubed or unlubed because it will say so on the package.
Also, do the spermicidal condoms have a greater risk of giving the girl a UTI? I have heard that before and I would like to know if it is true because I have gotten a UTI before after using a condom that has spermicide.
Spermicides have been shown to increase the risk of some sexually transmitted infections -- because they irritate the genitals, making them more susceptible to infection -- so usually, we'll advise people to ditch these, and just use condoms without spermicide correctly -- including the use of extra lubricant. That may also include infections like UTIs which aren't technically sexually transmitted, but which are often due to sex. Even without any extra STI risks, we never want to add agents which might make our genitals feel raw or irritated when we don't have to. If you ever have a condom break on you, you can get and use emergency contraception, which is much more effective in preventing pregnancy than a drop or two of spermicide.
You'll know when a condom is spermicidally-lubricated because it will say so on the box.
If you do not find spermicides to be irritating to you, and if you just have no way to get emergency contraception and pregnancy prevention is key, that even that little extra help spermicidal lube provides may be of use to you.
• Consumer Reports 2009 lists the results of their tests and reveals seven perfect condoms they found.
If you're interested in condoms that have been my personal favorites or those of my partners, all the Kimono styles, Durex Love and the Avantis, Beyond Seven and Glyde vegan condoms have tended to be the choice picks in my bedroom.
As I've mentioned here, condoms are really only half of the story. You'll also always want to have a good, latex-safe lube to use -- a drop or two inside the condom for your partner before he puts it on, plenty on the outside to make things feel good for you, and to keep condoms from breaking, and then more whenever you need it. My personal favorite lubricants these days are Liquid Silk, Pink and Astroglide, but other reputable lubes out and about are Sliquid, the KY Liquids, Wet, Eros Bodyglide, Emerita, O'My and Hydrasmooth.
Remember that where you buy condoms does matter: getting them from gas stations or vending machines is often a bad idea because condoms in those places both tend to hang around there a long time, and often the conditions they're kept in can degrade them. Better places to get condoms are through pharmacies or drugstores, large chain stores, sex supply stores, online vendors of condoms and safer sex supplies, or through your local sexual health clinic. Just always be sure and check the expiration date on your box or singles when you get them: you'll only want to use condoms, to be safe, that are at least six months away from expiring.
Just one thing that caught my eye in your question? You said you used condoms as "often as possible." Does that mean EVERY time?
Because every time is when it is possible, and if condoms are your only birth control method, and/or if you both haven't been monogamous and practicing safer sex (including testing) for at least six months, then EVERY time is when you need to be using those condoms, okay?
It's always a fine idea to get a decent array of condoms to try when you're first starting to use them, so when you stock up that first time, keep extra condoms around thereafter so that there really won't ever be a time when a condom is not there for your use. In trying a few different kinds, most will be workable, even if you or yours wind up strongly preferring one kind -- but those second-choice extras are great to keep handy. And if and when those times do still happen, those are the times to just do another sexual activity -- like manual sex or mutual masturbation -- where a condom really isn't required for either pregnancy prevention or STI transmission.

|List of episodes
Simplified list of episodes
"Karate Choppers" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season one. In this episode, SpongeBob and Sandy get obsessed with karate.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Sandy Cheeks
- Eugene H. Krabs
- Squidward Tentacles
- Bikini Bottomites
SpongeBob and Sandy are practicing karate against each other. SpongeBob is carefully going around his house looking for her, until she jumps out. They fight, and have lots of fun. Sandy tells him that she will sneak up on him and fight him tomorrow. At The Krusty Krab the next day, SpongeBob thinks anyone or anything can be Sandy, so he is cautious and does not work much. When he strikes one of the customers, Mr. Krabs demands to know what is going on, so SpongeBob explains to him that he is doing karate.
Therefore, Mr. Krabs tells him to stop doing karate, or he'll have no choice but to fire him. Sandy attacks him, and though SpongeBob attempts to explain Mr. Krabs's warning, Sandy doesn't believe him. At that moment, Mr. Krabs sees this and thinks he is doing karate with Sandy. An angry Mr. Krabs comes out of The Krusty Krab and tells SpongeBob that he's fired. This upsets SpongeBob. Sandy quickly explains to him that SpongeBob tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen. Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob his job back. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob not to do anymore karate as he feels that it's poisoning his mind.
The two attempt to forget about karate, and go to the park. However, while slicing sandwiches, they begin doing karate again, Mr. Krabs catches them. SpongeBob admits the truth and explains that he can't help himself. He gives Mr. Krabs permission to fire him. However, instead of firing SpongeBob he finds that karate chops can replace knives. The next day Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob and Sandy slice Krabby Patties this way, earning him more money.

November, 2013
I woke up to the first frost
tipped morning of November
with a shiver in my step,
crawling out of bed with
a whisper of a yawn.
This week was whirling gone,
as briskly as winter came.
I move nomadically from task
to task, underwater with desperate
and muffled hope that
I have failed no one this day.
I shall sleep through the season
to be wakened when the crocus stretch
their limbs from their benumbed slumber
and we shall greet life together.

Margaret Benefiel, PhD
- Restorative Justice Workshop
Justine Darling, MA
Much of the focus of USD in relation to Catholic Social Thought right across campus and beyond, including its engagement with many of the national and international social justice issues pertain to the world of work and obviously of labor. The world of work and human dignity in relation to work occupy so many of the discussions and so much of the ongoing research that faculty, students, staff and USD institutions are constantly engaged in. Whether it be migrant labor and rights, equal opportunities free of discrimination of any form, Family Friendly policies, the structure and organization of working life and places of work, labor rights, fair wages, hours and benefits in general and, of course, the meaningfulness and developmental nature of work in relation to the lives of all who work and those of their families – work gives rise to so many challenges and discussions. The tradition of Catholic Social Thought here, most explicitly in official church teachings of the modern period, gathers together these and many other issues through its focus upon human dignity.The CCTC seeks to provide as a campus resource a 'Forum' whereby various avenues of exploration of Dignity and the World of Work can be facilitated. These will include events and programs as well as studies in relation to Catholic Social Teaching in relation to work, the theology of work, the philosophy of work, social scientific and political scientific perspectives and legal perspectives. Heath care and natural scientific perspectives as well as, of course, those from the disciplines of Business Studies, economics and Business Administration will naturally all have a great deal to offer. Various University departments, institutes and centers – including of course the Wellness Center, would have much to offer such a forum. This would, quite naturally dovetail very much with the foundational aim of the CCTC "To promote Catholic Social Teaching and its integration into the academic life of the university community".
The Christian tradition has much to say about the dignity of the human being and how this can and must be enhanced through their work activities.
Here we find a surprising convergence between the Gospels and modern political and social philosophy, which have all found a fusion in many movements and campaigns throughout the world.
Catholic Social Teaching on Work
"Human work not only proceeds from the person, but it is also essentially ordered to and has its final goal in the human person. Independent of its objective content, work must be oriented to the subject who performs it, because the end of work, any work whatsoever, always remains the human person. Even if one cannot ignore the objective component of work with regard to its quality, this component must nonetheless be subordinated to the self-realization of the person, and therefore to the subjective dimension, thanks to which it is possible to affirm that work is for the person and not the person for work".
- Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, Rome, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2004, §272
"The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers The economy must serve people, not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God's creation. If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected--the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, to the organization and joining of unions, to private property, and to economic initiative."

Treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ
Treatment of invasive breast cancer, by stage
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is often appropriate for earlier-stage invasive breast cancers if the cancer is small enough, although mastectomy is also an option. If the cancer is too large, a mastectomy will be needed, unless pre-operative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy (chemo) can shrink the tumor enough to allow BCS. In either case, one or more underarm lymph nodes will need to be checked for cancer. Radiation will be needed for almost all women who have BCS and some who have mastectomy. Adjuvant systemic therapy after surgery is typically recommended for all cancers larger than 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) across, and also sometimes for smaller tumors. Many patients are treated with chemo before surgery (neoadjuvant chemo) rather than after surgery (adjuvant chemo).
If you'd like more information on a drug used in your treatment or a specific drug mentioned in this section, call us with the names of the medicines you're taking.
Stage I
These cancers are still relatively small and either have not spread to the lymph nodes (N0) or have a tiny area of cancer spread in the sentinel lymph node (N1mi).
Local therapy: Stage I cancers can be treated with either breast conserving surgery (BCS; sometimes called lumpectomy or partial mastectomy) or mastectomy. The lymph nodes will also need to be evaluated, either with a sentinel lymph node biopsy or an axillary lymph node dissection. Breast reconstruction can be done either at the same time as surgery or later.
Radiation therapy is usually given after BCS to lower the chance of the cancer coming back in the breast. Women may consider BCS without radiation therapy if they are at least 70 years old and ALL of the following are true:
- The tumor was 2 cm or less across and it has been completely removed.
- The tumor contains hormone receptors and hormone therapy is given.
- None of the lymph nodes removed contained cancer.
In women that meet these criteria, radiation after BCS still lowers the chance of the cancer coming back, but it in studies it didn't help them live longer.
Some women who do not meet these criteria may be tempted to avoid radiation, but studies have shown that not getting radiation increases the chances of the cancer coming back which can shorten their lives.
Adjuvant systemic therapy: Most doctors will recommend adjuvant hormone therapy (either tamoxifen, an aromatase inhibitor, or one following the other) to all women who have a hormone receptor–positive (estrogen or progesterone) breast cancer, no matter how small the tumor. Women with tumors larger than 0.5 cm (about ¼ inch) across may be more likely to benefit from it. Hormone therapy continues for at least 5 years.
If the tumor is smaller than 1 cm (about ½ inch) across, adjuvant chemo is not usually offered. Some doctors may suggest chemo if a cancer smaller than 1 cm has any unfavorable features (such as being high-grade, hormone receptor–negative, HER2-positive, or having a high score on a gene panel like Oncotype Dx). Adjuvant chemo is usually recommended for larger tumors.
For HER2-positive cancers, a year of adjuvant trastuzumab (Herceptin) is usually recommended as well.
See below for more information on adjuvant therapy.
Stage II
These cancers are larger and/or have spread to a few nearby lymph nodes.
Local therapy: Stage II cancers are treated with surgery, either breast conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy. The lymph nodes will be checked, either with a sentinel lymph node biopsy or an axillary lymph node dissection. Women who had BCS, or who had large tumors (more than 5 cm across) or cancer cells in the lymph nodes, are treated with radiation therapy after surgery. If chemo is also needed after surgery, the radiation is delayed until the chemo is done.
In some cases, breast reconstruction can be done during the surgery to remove the cancer. But if you will need radiation after surgery, it is often better to delay reconstruction until after the radiation is complete.
Systemic therapy: Systemic therapy is recommended for women with stage II breast cancer. It may be hormone therapy, chemo, HER2 targeted drugs (such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab/Perjeta), or some combination of these, depending on the woman's age and the tumor's hormone-receptor status and HER2/neu status. Chemo can be given after surgery (adjuvant) or before surgery (neoadjuvant). Hormone therapy can be started before surgery (as neoadjuvant treatment), but since it continues for at least 5 years, it needs to be given after surgery as well. If the cancer is HER2 positive, HER2 targeted drugs are started with chemo. Both trastuzumab and pertuzumab may be used as a part neoadjuvant treatment. Then trastuzumab is continued after surgery for a total of one year of treatment.
Neoadjuvant treatments are good options for women with large tumors, because they can shrink the tumor before surgery, possibly enough to make BCS an option. But this doesn't improve survival more than giving the drugs after surgery.
See the following section for more information on adjuvant therapy.
Stage III
For a cancer to be stage III, the tumor must be large (greater than 5 cm or about 2 inches across) or growing into nearby tissues (the skin over the breast or the muscle underneath), or the cancer has spread to many nearby lymph nodes.
Most often, these cancers are treated with chemo before surgery (neoadjuvant chemo). For HER2-positive tumors, the targeted drug trastuzumab is given as well, sometimes along with pertuzumab. This may shrink the tumor enough to allow breast conserving surgery (BCS). If the tumor doesn't shrink enough, a mastectomy is done. For stage III cancers, sentinel lymph node biopsy is often not an option, so an axillary lymph node dissection is done as well. Often, radiation therapy is needed after surgery. Breast reconstruction is usually delayed until after radiation is complete. In some cases, additional chemo is given after surgery as well. Women with HER2-positive cancers receive trastuzumab after surgery to complete a year of treatment. Women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancers will get adjuvant hormone therapy.
Another option for stage III cancers is to treat with surgery first. Because these tumors are fairly large and/or have grown into nearby tissues, this usually means a mastectomy. If the patient has fairly large breasts and the cancer hasn't grown into nearby tissues, BCS may be an option. Sentinel lymph node biopsy may be an option for some patients, but most require an axillary lymph node dissection. Surgery is usually followed by adjuvant systemic chemotherapy, and/or hormone therapy, and/or trastuzumab. Radiation is recommended after surgery.
Some inflammatory breast cancers are stage III. They are treated with neoadjuvant chemo (with trastuzumab and sometimes pertuzumab if the cancer is HER2-positive). If the cancer doesn't shrink with chemo, radiation may be given. This is followed by a mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. After surgery, radiation therapy is given (if it wasn't given before surgery). Women with hormone receptor-positive cancers are given hormone therapy after surgery, and those with HER2-positive cancers are given trastuzumab after surgery to complete a year of treatment. Some women may get additional chemo after surgery, but this is rare. Inflammatory breast cancer is discussed in more detail in Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
Drug treatment for stages I to III breast cancer
Most women with breast cancer are treated with some kind of drug therapy. This may include chemo, HER2 targeted drugs, hormone therapy, or some combination of these.
Chemotherapy: Chemo is usually recommended for all women with an invasive breast cancer whose tumor is hormone receptor-negative, and for women with hormone receptor-positive tumors who might additionally benefit from having chemo along with their hormone therapy, based on the stage and characteristics of their tumor.
Chemo (either before or after surgery) can decrease the risk of the cancer coming back, but it does not remove the risk completely. Before deciding if it's right for you, it is important to understand the chance of your cancer returning and how much treatment will decrease that risk.
Your doctor should discuss what specific drug regimens are best for you based on your cancer, its stage, your other health issues, and your preferences. The typical chemo regimens are listed in the chemotherapy section. The length of treatment usually ranges from 3 to 6 months.
Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy is recommended to all women with hormone receptor–positive invasive breast cancer regardless of the size of the tumor or the number of lymph nodes with cancer cells. Hormone therapy is not likely to be effective for women with hormone receptor-negative tumors, so it is not offered to those women.
Women who have gone through menopause and who have hormone receptor–positive tumors will generally get adjuvant hormone therapy either with an aromatase inhibitor (such as anastrozole/Arimidex, letrozole/Femara, or exemestane/Aromasin) for 5 years. Another option is to take tamoxifen for 2 to 5 years followed by an aromatase inhibitor for 3 to 5 more years. For women who can't take aromatase inhibitors, an alternative is tamoxifen for 5 to 10 years. Aromatase inhibitors don't help if the ovaries are functioning (and producing estrogen), so women who had their uterus removed (a hysterectomy) but still have their ovaries may need to have blood tests to check hormone levels to see if they have gone through menopause before taking an aromatase inhibitor. Women who stopped having periods during or after chemo may also need their hormone levels tested to check for menopause in Many women whose periods stopped from chemo have not truly gone through menopause, and the periods will return.
For women who haven't gone through menopause, the most common treatment is tamoxifen, which block the effects of estrogen. This is taken for 5 to 10 years. Some doctors also give a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog, which temporarily stops the ovaries from functioning. Another (permanent) option is surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy). Still, it is not clear that removing the ovaries or stopping them from working helps tamoxifen work better for cancers that have been removed completely, so these treatments are not standard. If you become post-menopausal during tamoxifen treatment (either naturally or because your ovaries are removed), you may be switched from tamoxifen to an aromatase inhibitor. Still, women may stop having periods on tamoxifen without truly going through menopause, so blood tests of hormone levels are often needed to see if you are in menopause and can benefit from aromatase inhibitors. Another option for pre-menopausal women (instead of tamoxifen), is taking a LHRH analog to turn off the ovaries along with an aromatase inhibitor.
Getting hormone therapy and chemo together can make the chemo less effective, so hormone therapy is usually not started until after chemo is completed.
HER2 targeted drugs: Women who have HER2-positive cancers are usually given trastuzumab along with chemo as part of their treatment. If the treatment is given before surgery, pertuzumab may be given, as well. After the chemo is finished, the trastuzumab is continued to complete a year of treatment.
Because these drugs can lead to heart problems, heart function is watched closely during treatment with tests such as echocardiograms or MUGA scans.
Online tools to help make decisions: To decide if adjuvant therapy is right for you, you might want to visit the Mayo Clinic website at www.mayoclinic.com and type "adjuvant therapy for breast cancer" into the search box. You will find a page that will help you to understand the possible benefits and limits of adjuvant therapy.
Other online guides, such as www.adjuvantonline.com, are designed to be used by health care professionals. This website provides information about your risk of the cancer returning within the next 10 years and what benefits you might expect from hormone therapy and/or chemotherapy. You may want to ask your doctor if he or she uses this site.
Stage IV
Stage IV cancers have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Breast cancer most commonly spreads to the bones, liver, and lung. As the cancer progresses, it may spread to the brain, but it can affect any organ, even the eye.
Although surgery and/or radiation may be useful in some situations (see below), systemic therapy is the main treatment. Depending on many factors, this may consist of hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or some combination of these treatments. Treatment can shrink tumors, improve symptoms, and help patients live longer, but it isn't able to cure these cancers (make the cancer go away and stay away).
Patients with hormone receptor-positive cancers are often treated first with hormone therapy. Women who are post-menopausal may be treated first with palbociclib (Ibrance) along with a hormone drug like letrozole (Femara). Women who haven't yet gone through menopause are often treated first with tamoxifen. But because hormone therapy can take months to work, chemo is often the first treatment for patients with serious problems from their cancer spread, such as problems breathing.
Hormone therapy isn't helpful for hormone receptor-negative cancers, so chemo is the main treatment for women with these cancers.
Trastuzumab may help women with HER2-positive cancers live longer if it is given with the first chemo for stage IV disease. Trastuzumab can also be given with the hormone therapy drug letrozole. Other options include ado-trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla) or giving pertuzumab with chemo and trastuzumab. Treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine continues until the cancer starts growing again. It is not clear how long treatment with trastuzumab (with or without pertuzumab) should continue.
All of the systemic therapies given for breast cancer—hormone therapy, chemo, and targeted therapies—have possible side effects, which were described in previous sections. Your doctor will explain to you the benefits and risks of these treatments before prescribing them.
Radiation therapy and/or surgery may also be used in certain situations, such as:
- When the breast tumor is causing an open wound in the breast (or chest)
- To treat a small number of metastases in a certain area
- To prevent bone fractures
- When an area of cancer spread is pressing on the spinal cord
- To treat a blockage in the liver
- To provide relief of pain or other symptoms
- When the cancer has spread to the brain
If your doctor recommends such local treatments, it is important that you understand their goal—whether it is to try to cure the cancer or to prevent or treat symptoms.
In some cases, regional chemo (where drugs are delivered directly into a certain area, such as the fluid around the brain or into the liver) may be useful as well.
Treatment to relieve symptoms depends on where the cancer has spread. For example, pain from bone metastases may be treated with external beam radiation therapy and/or bisphosphonates such as pamidronate (Aredia) or zoledronic acid (Zometa). Most doctors recommend bisphosphonates or denosumab (Xgeva), along with calcium and vitamin D, for all patients whose breast cancer has spread to their bones. For more information about treatment of bone metastases, see Bone Metastasis.
Advanced cancer that progresses during treatment: Treatment for advanced breast cancer can often shrink the cancer or slow its growth (often for many years), but after a time, it stops working. Further treatment at this point depends on several factors, including previous treatments, where the cancer is located, and a woman's age, general health, and desire to continue getting treatment.
For hormone receptor-positive cancers that were being treated with hormone therapy, switching to another type of hormone therapy sometimes helps. If either letrozole (Femara) or anastrozole (Arimidex) were given, using everolimus (Afinitor) with exemestane may be an option. If hormone drugs stop working, chemo is usually the next step.
If the cancer is no longer responding to one chemo regimen, trying another may be helpful. Many different drugs and combinations can be used to treat breast cancer. However, each time a cancer progresses during treatment it becomes less likely that further treatment will have an effect.
HER2-positive cancers that no longer respond to trastuzumab might respond to lapatinib. Lapatinib also attacks the HER2 protein. This drug is often given along with the chemotherapy drug capecitabine (Xeloda), but it can be used with other chemo drugs, with trastuzumab, or even alone (without chemo). Other options for women with HER2 positive cancers include giving pertuzumab with chemo and trastuzumab and using the drug ado-trastuzumab emtansine.
Because current treatments are very unlikely to cure advanced breast cancer, if you are in otherwise good health, you may want to think about taking part in clinical trials of other promising treatments.
Recurrent breast cancer
Cancer is called recurrent when it come backs after treatment. Recurrence can be local (in the same breast or in the mastectomy scar) or in a distant area. Rarely, breast cancer comes back in nearby lymph nodes. This is called regional recurrence. Cancer that is found in the opposite breast is not a recurrence—it is a new cancer that requires its own treatment.
Local recurrence: For women whose breast cancer has recurred locally, treatment depends on their initial treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, a local recurrence in the breast is usually treated with mastectomy. If the initial treatment was mastectomy, recurrence near the mastectomy site is treated by removing the tumor whenever possible. This is followed by radiation therapy, but only if none had been given after the original surgery. (Radiation can't be given to the same area twice.) In either case, hormone therapy, targeted therapy (like trastuzumab), chemo, or some combination of these may be used after surgery and/or radiation therapy.
Regional recurrence: When breast cancer comes back in nearby lymph nodes (such as those under the arm or around the collar bone), it is treated by removing those lymph nodes. This may be followed by radiation treatments aimed at the area. Systemic treatment (like chemo, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy) may be considered after the local treatment as well.
Distant recurrence: In general, women whose cancer comes back in organs like the bones, lungs, brain, etc., are treated the same way as those found to have stage IV breast cancer in these organs when they were first diagnosed (see treatment for stage IV). The only difference is that treatment may be affected by previous treatments a woman has had.
Should your cancer come back, When Your Cancer Comes Back: Cancer Recurrence can provide you with more general information on how to manage and cope with this phase of your treatment.

the first stable skin cream based on a water-in-oil emulsion, using the
emulsifying agent Eucerit.
Troplowitz names the product NIVEA, derived from the Latin word nix, nivis, meaning "white as snow".
The Company now does business with 34 countries, with 42% of sales being generated abroad.
An affiliate is founded in Austria.
The death of Dr. Oscar Troplowitz and his co-shareholder Dr. Otto Hanns
Mankiewicz in 1918 necessitate several changes in Beiersdorf's legal
form. The public company P. Beiersdorf & Co. AG is founded on June
1, 1922.
NIVEA takes its first steps: NIVEA Creme's first commercial film is shown in German cinemas.
Beiersdorf establishes an affiliate in the USA.
Beiersdorf becomes a public company. Willy Jacobsohn takes over as Chairman of the Executive Board.
Hansaplast is launched on the market and revolutionizes wound care: It
is the first plaster to feature a gauze pad, allowing it to be used to
care for open wounds as well.
The plaster is based on Leukoplast, the zinc oxide plaster invented in 1901 by Dr. Troplowitz.
More than 500 people are employed in Hamburg.
NIVEA gets a new design. In order to adapt to social changes in the
1920s, it is decided to give the NIVEA brand image a complete makeover.
The yellow-green tin with art nouveau elements is redesigned – the first
instance of a marketing concept that would be termed a "relaunch"
today. Not only the color and packaging design ...
... but also the advertising strategy is changed completely. Leisure,
sports and nature play a central role in the new NIVEA profile.
Beiersdorf's shares are listed on the Hamburg Stock Exchange for the first time. Over 20 Beiersdorf production sites are already in operation worldwide at this time.
Beiersdorf employs more than 1,400 staff on its 50th anniversary.
Under pressure from the National Socialists who had come to power, the
Jewish members of the Executive Board, headed by Dr. Willy Jacobsohn,
step down. Jacobsohn moves to Amsterdam, where he heads the foreign
affiliates until 1938, before emigrating to the USA. Under the
leadership of Carl Claussen, the Beiersdorf Executive Board succeeds in
steering the Company through the difficult Nazi period despite much
hostility from competitors.
Beiersdorf's first South American affiliate is founded in Argentina.
Elly Heuss-Knapp, the wife of Theodor Heuss, the first President of the
Federal Republic of Germany after the War, works freelance for NIVEA,
designing key elements of its advertising, in particular its cinema and
radio advertising. She continues to work for Beiersdorf until the end of
the Second World War.
tesa is introduced as the umbrella brand for self-adhesive technology.
The first innovative product is its transparent adhesive film, later
known worldwide under the name tesafilm.
The air raids on Hamburg cause heavy damage to both production plants and administrative buildings. At
the end of the Second World War, most of the Hamburg production plants
and administrative buildings have been destroyed. During the war, most
Beiersdorf affiliates in countries at war with Germany are expropriated.
Beiersdorf also loses its NIVEA trademarks here. Soon after the war,
Beiersdorf begins to buy back the trademarks.
Nevertheless, Beiersdorf generates sales of DM 30 million in the year in which the Federal Republic of Germany is founded.
PH5 Eucerin is launched on the market. This innovative ointment focuses
on the importance of the skin's own natural protective acid barrier in
maintaining good skin health. It is the basis for the Eucerin consumer
Beiersdorf introduces the first deodorizing soap that specifically
inhibits the growth of bacteria that decompose sweat. Juan Gregorio
Claussen – the longstanding Head of Advertising at Beiersdorf – develops
the catchy name 8x4 based on the name for the active ingredient, B32.
Birth of a design icon: the NIVEA tin gets its signature "Creme" logo, which remains its identifying feature to this day.
NIVEA milk – liquid NIVEA Creme in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion – is introduced for all-over body care.
A large number of affiliates and licensees expand Beiersdorf's international business in the course of the 1960s.
Beiersdorf employs more than 10,000 people worldwide.
Beiersdorf adopts a new company logo. For the first time, a design
manual specifies what the company logo, lettering, and corporate colors
should look like worldwide.
Launch of NIVEA Gesicht (later NIVEA Visage). Start of the steady
expansion of NIVEA as a brand for skin and beauty care through a large
number of subbrands with an international focus.
Beiersdorf begins implementing a strategic reorientation process,
focusing primarily on the core competencies of skin care, wound care,
and adhesive technology.
Acquisition of the La Prairie brand, which originated in the famous "La Prairie" clinic in Montreux, Switzerland.
As body care markets increasingly go global, NIVEA becomes the world's
largest skin care brand by expanding into new areas of cosmetics,
standardizing NIVEA brand policy worldwide, and recovering its remaining
trademarks in countries such as the UK, Canada, South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand, and Israel.
A majority interest is acquired in Polish company Pollena-Lechia, now
known as NIVEA Polska SA. At this point all trademarks been repurchased
The Company's strategy is streamlined further to focus on a small number of strong consumer brands.
The new strategy allows tesa to become an independent affiliate,
enabling it to react more flexibly to consumers and industrial
Florena, based in Waldheim in Saxony, becomes a wholly-owned Beiersdorf
affiliate. The two companies originally cooperated under a "licensed
production" agreement before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and
intensified their ties following the reunification of Germany.
In October a long struggle for the Allianz stake in Beiersdorf ends
happily for the Company. Tchibo Holding AG increases its shareholding
from 30.3% to an initial 49.9%, becoming Beiersdorf's largest
shareholder. This prevents Beiersdorf AG from being split up. In order
to ensure that Beiersdorf remains in Hamburg, the city also temporarily
acquires a 10% stake. A new functional organization focusing on the
areas of brands, supply chain management, finance, and human resources
replaces the previous divisional organization.
The new Skin Research Center opens in Hamburg. With more than 450
scientists, this is one of the largest and most advanced research
centers in Germany, and one of the most important in the world.
The world's first "NIVEA Haus" is opened on the Jungfernstieg street in the heart of Hamburg. Beiersdorf's sales exceed €5 billion for the first time.
In the year of the Company´s 125th anniversary, Beiersdorf acquires an
85% stake in C-BONS Hair Care, one of the leading companies in the
Chinese hair care market with a well-developed sales network in China.
In December 2008, Beiersdorf is included in the leading German equity
index, the DAX, which comprises the 30 leading listed companies in
Beiersdorf opens the NIVEA Haus on Berlin's famous "Unter den Linden"
boulevard. This is the world's third NIVEA Haus following the ones
opened in Hamburg and Dubai in 2006 and 2008 respectively. In line with
the needs of its metropolitan customers, the NIVEA Haus in Berlin, on a
space of over 500 sqm, provides brief cosmetic applications for
short-term relaxation and recovery.
Beiersdorf introduces the new Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE moisturizer,
developed using a Nobel Prize-inspired technology. As of fall the
aquaporin technology is step by step being integrated in various NIVEA
Beiersdorf developed after intensive
research, along with textile experts from the prestigious International
Textile Institute Hohenstein, a deodorant that reduces stains: NIVEA
Invisible for Black & White, the most successful deodorant launch in
the history of Beiersdorf.
Happy Birthday NIVEA! With celebrations around the world and a
special campaign the NIVEA Creme celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Stefan F. Heidenreich is taking over from
Thomas-B. Quaas as CEO of Beiersdorf AG. Mr. Heidenreich has been a member of
the Executive Board since January 2012.
50 years after launch of the very first bodylotion in 1963 NIVEA transforms body care again with the launch of its In-shower Skin Conditioner range – a hassle-free way to moisturize while in the shower.

Centennial appeared in 1986 in honor of Linotype's 100th birthday. The roman and light cuts of the font are reminiscent of the Century typeface, particularly on that of Linn B. Benton and Morris F. Benton, designed around the turn of the 19th century for the American Type Founders. Like Century, Centennial too embodies a cool, reserved neutrality.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – Three children and one adult are safe after escaping a blazing house fire.
Fort Wayne firefighters battled to put out heavy flames and smoke from a Fort Wayne home Saturday afternoon.
Crews got the call around 1 p.m. of a structure fire on the 6000 block Bedford Downs Drive just off of Cook Road.
When crews arrived they say heavy smoke and flames coming from the front of a mobile home. FWFD entered the home to find no one inside. Turns out, three children and one adult safely escaped without any injuries.
Firefighters had the blaze under control in 17 minutes. No word on the cause.

In a tug-of-war match today, my summer camp students were very concerned about putting the biggest people at the back of the rope. Is there any advantage to this strategy?
Think of how much horizontal force you can apply. The puller, is leaning horizontally, and pushing (at an angle on the ground), and vertcal forces and rotational torque must separately balance. The more the puller can lean backwards, and the lower the rope, the more horizontal force he can apply. Presumably he can lean more, and get the rope lower from the back of the line.
I can see two advantages:
1) the more heavy set the stronger the muscles, so it means a lot of the force is coming on a long arm. The tug is supposed to be linear but rotations will happen, and there will be amplification of the effect as a lever arm. If the rope were solid this is obvious.
2) Think of two people of equal weight,on a see-saw. The one with the shorter distance from the fulcrum is at a disadvantage and has to put in more force to swing. A tug of war has a "fulcrum" at the center where the two teams meet. Putting the heavy players at the end will shift the centre of mass towards the end and will give an advantage in the impulse transfer by a longer distance from the center.
In the pure physics sense, if 3 people that pull 40Lb 30Lb and 20lb the total pull will be 90lb no matter where you put them. Now in the strategy is the last person in line is called the anchor he/she is usually the biggest and strongest of the bunch the next 3 are the pullers they do a straight yank as hard as they can and they are the pre-anchor the rest are heavers. The heavers pull in a rhythm or cycle called by the 1st person in line or the captain and they are arranged by height. The basic strategy depends on the 3 types of human force. The marathon runner "Constant force applied over time." The sprinter "Grate force over a short time." And the weight lifter "Exert and hold great power."
Yes, if you put the strongest people in the back the rope will be straighter, making it more likely everyone is pulling in the same direction.

Hosepipe ban remains while London still 'in drought'—despite record rain
07:00 12 May 2012
London's hosepipe ban is not being lifted—despite one of the wettest months on record.
But more serious water restrictions have been ruled out this year, Thames Water has confirmed.
The temporary hosepipe restriction is being retained "for the time being" because groundwater levels that feed the rivers in the South East remain critically low, the company told the Advertiser last night.
"We still have a serious shortage," said Thames Water's sustainability director Richard Aylard.
"It's a relief that we can now rule out seeking a Drought Order this year that would have imposed further restrictions—but it would be irresponsible to lift the hosepipe ban just yet."
Yesterday's announcement came after the Environment Agency confirmed that London and the South East is still in drought, while 'drought' status was being removed in 19 counties elsewhere.
Thames Valley groundwater levels remain lower than the notorious 1976 drought when there was no rain all spring and summer.
"Levels remain at their lowest ever, even lower than 1976," Mr Aylard added. "Until the groundwater recovers, the hosepipe ban must remain."
Yet the Thames region had its second-wettest April on record, nearly three times the long-term average rainfall.

Thats pretty cool. i like the way the Craters are still visiable
This isn't mine, I just happened to spot this (as far as I can tell) uncredited [edit: made by Don. Edwards?] map of Mars after terraforming in a random message board. I thought it was pretty cool and though others might want to get a look at it too.

make the image sensor larger. thats the obvious step here. I don't care about megapixels.
But I'm sure samsung knows the general public does.
Update: please also check out our hands-on report on connect.
Samsung has launched its new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, with plenty of features to pique mobile photographers' interest.
The new device is slightly smaller and at 7.9mm also thinner than its predecessor, but otherwise the design language is very similar to the S3. Despite the slightly smaller dimensions, the new model comes with a large 5-inch 1080p Full-HD Super-AMOLED screen (441ppi).
The device will be powered by a new 1.6 GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor which doubles the number of cores of the processors in other high-end smartphones or even Laptops/PCs. However, this super-powerful processor will not be be available in all versions of the device. Depending on the region some Galaxy S4's will feature a 1.9 GHz Qualcomm quad-core chip.
From a hardware point of view the most exciting news is a range of new sensors including a barometer, temperature and humidity sensors. There is also an IR transmitter to use the device as a remote control for most types of AV-equipment.
We'll deliver a hands-on with the new Galaxy S4 soon, until then, here's a look at what we learned from today's press event in Times Square:
New camera features
With a 13MP sensor driving the main camera and 2MP front-facing camera, the imaging hardware is in line with other top smartphones recently released. However, on the software side of things a number of cool new features can be found:
Other new features
Other, non-camera-related features include the following:
You can also take pictures of written text, such as restaurant menus or any kind of signs, and then use the S Translator application.
New UI functions
The user-interface comes with a few interesting novelties too:
To power this abundance of features the Galaxy S4 comes with a large removable 2600MAh battery. It will be available in 3G or 4G LTE versions through 327 operators in 155 countries, starting at the end of April.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Headline features:
Looking at the specs and features listed above, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is, as expected, a true high-end device that comes with a range of innovations we're eager to test and try out. We'll post our hands-on article shortly.

He is still in ICU and she will be in prison where she should study our voting system and the Electoral College because Romney won their state of Arizona by over 200,000 votes and her hubby's vote really wouldn't have made a difference.
