What are corneal ulcer symptoms?
A corneal ulcer may cause redness, pain, a feeling that something is in the eye, tearing, and pus or thick discharge draining from the eye. Vision might be blurry, and there may be an increase in pain when the person looks at bright lights.
What are corneal ulcer signs?
An ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases) may notice signs of inflammation (redness) in the conjunctiva of the eye and in the anterior chamber of the eye. The eyelids may be swollen, and a white or gray round spot on the cornea could be visible with the naked eye if the ulcer is large. Not all gray spots are ulcers. The ulcer may be central in the cornea or marginal, at the outer edge of the cornea. There may be swelling (edema) of the cornea around the ulcer. There may be scarring from prior corneal ulcers. There may be a single (or multiple ulcers) in the eye, and ulcers may be present in one or both eyes.
How is a corneal ulcer diagnosed?
The presence of a corneal ulcer can be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist (and other medical caregivers) through an eye examination. The ophthalmologist will be able to detect an ulcer by using a special eye microscope known as a slit lamp. A drop containing the dye fluorescein, when placed in the eye, can make the ulcer easier to see. Scrapings of the ulcer may be sent to the laboratory for identification of bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Certain bacteria, such as a speciaes of pseudomonas, may cause a corneal ulcer which is rapidly progressive.
What is the treatment for a corneal ulcer?
Treatment is aimed at eradicating the cause of the ulcer. Anti-infective agents directed at the inciting microbial agent will be used in cases of corneal ulcer due to infection. Generally, these will be in the form of drops or ointments to be placed in the eye; but occasionally, especially in certain viral infections, oral medications will also be employed. Occasionally, steroids will be added, but should only be used after examination by an eye doctor or other physician using a slit lamp, because in some situations, steroids may hinder healing or aggravate the infection.
In cases aggravated by dryness or corneal exposure, tear substitutes will be used, possibly accompanied by patching or a bandage contact lens.
In corneal ulcers involving injury, the inciting agent must be removed from the eye (using copious irrigation for chemicals or by using a slit lamp microscope to remove particles such as wood or metal) and then adding medications to prevent infection and minimize scarring of the cornea.
Contact lenses should be discontinued in any case of corneal ulcer, regardless of whether the ulcer was initially caused by the contact lens.
If the ulcer cannot be controlled with medications, it may be necessary to surgically debride the ulcer. If the ulcer causes significant corneal thinning and threatens to perforate the cornea, a surgical procedure known as corneal transplant may be necessary.
Individuals with corneal ulcers due to immunological diseases may require patient-specific treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. Such patients may require care coordinated with an ophthalmologist in conjunction with other doctors.
Anyone with an irritated eye that does not improve quickly after removing a contact lens or after mild irrigation should contact an ophthalmologist immediately. Never borrow someone's eyedrops.

Sol system
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
The Sol system (also known as the Terran system, the Terran solar system or as The Solar System) was a star system in Sector 001 (or Sol sector) of the Alpha Quadrant. It consisted of a primary, named Sol, and nine planets. The third planet, Earth, was the homeworld of the Humans who also colonized Earth's only natural satellite, Luna, and other planets of the system, e.g., Venus, Mars, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Other planets in the system were Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Sol System also contained an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. (ENT: "Terra Nova", "Terra Prime"; TOS: "The Cage", "Wolf in the Fold", TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Best of Both Worlds"; Star Trek Generations; VOY: "Dark Frontier")
The coordinates of Jupiter within the Sol system were 22.214.171.124. (Star Trek Into Darkness) The location of the Sol system in the Milky Way Galaxy was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. This system was located near Tau Ceti, Alpha Centauri, and Sirius. (TOS: "The Cage", Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) The location of the Sol system was also seen in a viewscreen chart displayed by the USS Enterprise-D library computer. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Datalore", "Conspiracy")
The Sol system formed over 4 billion years ago. Approximately three and a half billion years ago, life began on Earth. (TNG: "The Chase", "All Good Things...")
A graphic depicting the Sol system was displayed in the office where Rain Robinson worked, at the Griffith Observatory in California in 1996. The same graphic was displayed in Deep Space 9's classroom in 2370. (VOY: "Future's End"; DS9: "Cardassians") Deep Space 9's classroom featured a painting of four planets of the Sol system including Earth and Saturn earlier. (DS9: "The Nagus")
In 2254, the inner system of Sol was depicted on a map. This map was scanned by the Talosians. (TOS: "The Cage")
Three years later, Captain James T. Kirk requested that Spock bring up Chart 14A for Nomad to scan. Chart 14A was a map of the Sol system. (TOS: "The Changeling")
In 2371, a microscopic singularity passed through the system and exploded. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
The Borg maintained a transwarp conduit with an aperture less than a light year away from Earth. The conduit was collapsed by the USS Voyager in 2378. (VOY: "Endgame")
In an alternate timeline, all major inhabited planets and colonies in the Sol system were destroyed by the Xindi weapon. This ended when the Enterprise NX-01 crew sacrificed themselves to change the future by erasing interspatial parasites from Jonathan Archer, allowing him to remain in command and find and destroy the weapon. (ENT: "Twilight")
In another alternate timeline, the entire Sol system was destroyed in a temporal explosion when Henry Starling took the timeship Aeon from the 20th century to the 29th century without properly calibrating the temporal matrix. This event nearly happened but was stopped when Captain Janeway manually fired a photon torpedo from USS Voyager at the Aeon as it entered the temporal rift, destroying it and killing Starling. (VOY: "Future's End", "Future's End, Part II")

Background information
The chart naming stars within 20 light years of Sol was drawn by Rick Sternbach for the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology in the late 1970s. Found on page 77, this chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes after the use of warp drive began.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (Pg. 19), although the Sol system is located in the exact corner of the sector and was thus divided equally among all eight sectors, it is considered to be in Sector 001 for purposes of celestial navigation. Similarity, while the Sol system is divided equally between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, it is considered to be part of the Alpha Quadrant.
According to The Worlds of the Federation, there was a tenth planet beyond Pluto.
The real-world debate on the status of Pluto as a planet was referenced in the novel Before Dishonor.

What was it in the All Stars game? Just a penalty?
Yep, and the ref was almost embarrassed to give it.
We've discussed this before and my view hasn't changed. You can ban dangerous shoulder charges (and enforce it) without banning the shoulder charge. If we got rid of the pathetic 'he made contact with shoulder first' interpretation and just penalised tackles where the defender's shoulder ends up going straight through the tackler's chin (see Leuluai, or the O'Brien hit), we'd solve the problem we have.
What will happen is that we will see completely harmless tackles penalised on a technicality, and we'll all be back moaning about it after a big game.

Tell the Senate: Pass the gun safety proposals outlined by President Obama
On January 16, President Obama took 23 executive actions on gun safety. However, the most important changes to improve gun safety can only come with congressional action.
Congressional action begins in the Senate, as Speaker John Boehner has indicated the Republican-controlled House won't do anything until the Democratic-controlled Senate passes a bill. So, let's get things rolling by pushing the Senate to pass a strong gun safety bill, thus putting huge pressure on the House to follow suit.
Please email or call your senators, demanding they support President Obama's proposals for improved gun safety: (Email can be edited and personalized. If / when you hear back from your senators, please click here to tell us what you heard.)

I dont know you if any of you know me, but i've watched for a few years and rarely express my opinion.
Let me give you background, i was born in 63, so i was basicaly born a Pats fan, after what i saw this year and adding to what i saw last year.
Steven Ridley must go, he can and should not ever get another carry as a pats running back, he may have some nice numbers but he has the fumbles which can destroy a team. My opinion is let him sit out the rest of year and trade him next year for a 3rd round pick.
I'm sorry but after that first fumble last week he should be protecting it better and not to put the whole game on his shoulders, he bears the brunt, 1st possesion fumble , then does it again on our first posesion in the second half, yeah, he is done and should be gone forever as a running back for the Pats.
Just my thoughts.

What is RM Cash
JOHNNY in OK
I am happy with the product but like my textile river road jacket better for comfort. The reason I say this is that the way the collar is made on this jacket from Milwaukee makes it push up into your chin when you sit down on a cruiser. I don't think this would be troublesome if you were hunched over on a crotch rocket but it bothers me a lot. The looks are great even though the picture is more distressed than the jacket that I and reviewers on other sites have received. I've ridden in it in cold and hot weather and like the peace of mind in knowing it would prevent skin rash way better than my textile jacket in the event anything goes wrong.Read All Reviews

Cannabis and Cannabinoids (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Cannabis and Cannabinoids
- Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant grown in many parts of the world (see Question 1).
- The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back to ancient times (see Question 3).
- By federal law, possessing Cannabis is illegal in the United States (see Question 1).
- In the United States, Cannabis is a controlled substance that requires special licensing for its use (see Question 1 and Question 3).
- Cannabinoids are active chemicals in Cannabis that cause drug -like effects throughout the body, including the central nervous system and the immune system (see Question 2).
- Cannabinoids can be taken by mouth, inhaled, or sprayed under the tongue (see Question 5).
- Cannabis and cannabinoids have been studied in the laboratory and the clinic for relief of pain, nausea and vomiting, anxiety, and loss of appetite (see Question 6 and Question 7).
- Cannabis and cannabinoids may have benefits in treating the symptoms of cancer or the side effects of cancer therapies (see Question 7).
- Two cannabinoids (dronabinol and nabilone) are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention or treatment of chemotherapy -related nausea and vomiting (see Question 7 and Question 10).
- Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory and to affect the immune system. However, there is no evidence that Cannabis' effects on the immune system help the body fight cancer (see Question 6).
- At this time, there is not enough evidence to recommend that patients inhale or ingest Cannabis as a treatment for cancer-related symptoms or side effects of cancer therapy (see Question 7).
- Cannabis is not approved by the FDA for use as a cancer treatment (see Question 9).
Questions and Answers About Cannabis
Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant from Central Asia that is grown in many parts of the world today. In the United States, it is a controlled substance and has been classified as a Schedule I agent (a drug with increased potential for abuse and no known medical use).
By federal law, possessing Cannabis (marijuana), is illegal in the United States.What are cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are active chemicals in Cannabis that cause drug-like effects throughout the body, including the central nervous system and the immune system. They are also known as phytocannabinoids. The main active cannabinoid in Cannabis is delta-9-THC. Another active cannabinoid is cannabidiol, which may relieve pain and lower inflammation without causing the "high" of delta-9-THC.
Cannabinoids may be useful in treating the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment.
Other possible effects of cannabinoids include:
- Anti-inflammatory activity.
- Blocking cell growth.
- Preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors.
- Antiviral activity.
The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back at least 3,000 years. It came into use in Western medicine in the 19th century and was said to relieve pain, inflammation, spasms, and convulsions.
In 1937, the U.S. Treasury began taxing Cannabis under the Marijuana Tax Act at one dollar per ounce for medicinal use and one hundred dollars per ounce for recreational use. The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed this regulation of Cannabis and did not want studies of its potential medicinal benefits to be limited. In 1942, Cannabis was removed from the U.S. Pharmacopoeia because of continuing concerns about its safety. In 1951, Congress passed the Boggs Act, which included Cannabis with narcotic drugs for the first time.
Under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, marijuana was classified as a Schedule I drug. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, mescaline, methaqualone, and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB).
Although Cannabis was not believed to have any medicinal use, the U.S. government distributed it to patients on a case-by-case basis under the Compassionate Use Investigational New Drug (IND) program between 1978 and 1992.
In the past 20 years, researchers have studied how cannabinoids act on the brain and other parts of the body. Cannabinoid receptors (molecules that bind cannabinoids) have been discovered in brain cells and nerve cells in other parts of the body. The presence of cannabinoid receptors on immune system cells suggests that cannabinoids may have a role in immunity.If Cannabis is illegal, how do some cancer patients in the United States use it?
Though federal law prohibits the use of Cannabis, the table below lists the localities that allow its use for certain medical conditions.
List of Localities That Permit Use ofCannabisfor Certain Medical Conditions
|Alaska (AK)
|Arizona (AZ)
|California (CA)
|Colorado (CO)

Cannabis may be taken by mouth or may be inhaled. When taken by mouth (in baked products or as an herbal tea), the main psychoactive ingredient in Cannabis (delta-9-THC) is processed by the liver, making an additional psychoactive chemical (a substance that acts on the brain and changes mood or consciousness).
When Cannabis is smoked and inhaled, cannabinoids quickly enter the bloodstream. The additional psychoactive chemical is produced in smaller amounts than when taken by mouth.
A growing number of clinical trials are studying a medicine made from a whole-plant extract of Cannabis that contains specific amounts of cannabinoids. This medicine is sprayed under the tongue.Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using Cannabis or cannabinoids?
Preclinical studies of cannabinoids have investigated the following activities:
Antitumor activity
- Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
- A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.
- A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects. Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.
- A laboratory study of cannabidiol in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells.
Stimulating appetite
- Many animal studies have shown that delta-9-THC and other cannabinoids stimulate appetite and can increase food intake.
Pain relief
- Cannabinoid receptors (molecules that bind cannabinoids) have been studied in the brain, spinal cord, and nerve endings throughout the body to understand their roles in pain relief.
- Cannabinoids have been studied for anti-inflammatory effects that may play a role in pain relief.
No clinical trials of Cannabis as a treatment for cancer in humans have been found in the CAM on PubMed database maintained by the National Institutes of Health.
Cannabis and cannabinoids have been studied in clinical trials for ways to manage side effects of cancer and cancer therapies, including the following:
Nausea and vomiting
- Delta-9-THC taken by mouth: Two cannabinoid drugs approved in the United States are available under the names dronabinol and nabilone. Both dronabinol and nabilone are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chemotherapy -related nausea and vomiting in patients who have not responded to standard therapy. Many clinical trials have shown that both dronabinol and nabilone worked as well as or better than some of the weaker FDA-approved drugs to relieve nausea and vomiting. Newer drugs given for chemotherapy-related nausea have not been directly compared with Cannabis or cannabinoids in cancer patients.
- Inhaled Cannabis: Three small trials have studied inhaled Cannabis for the treatment of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. Various study methods and chemotherapy agents were used with mixed results. There is not enough information to interpret these findings.
Stimulating appetite
- Delta-9-THC taken by mouth: A clinical trial compared delta-9-THC (dronabinol) and a standard drug (megestrol) in patients with advanced cancer and loss of appetite. Results showed that delta-9-THC was not as effective in increasing appetite or weight gain in advanced cancer patients compared with standard therapy. However, a clinical trial of patients with HIV/AIDS and weight loss found that those who took delta-9-THC had increased appetite and stopped losing weight compared with patients who took a placebo.
- Inhaled Cannabis: There are no published studies of the effect of inhaled Cannabis on cancer patients with loss of appetite. Studies of healthy people who inhaled Cannabis showed that they consumed more calories, especially high-fat and sweet snacks.
Pain relief
- Combining cannabinoids with opioids: In a small study of 21 patients with chronic pain, vaporized Cannabis was added to slow-release oxycodone or morphine and given for five days. Results showed that combining vaporized Cannabis with morphine relieved pain better than morphine alone, while combining vaporized Cannabis with oxycodone did not produce significantly greater pain relief. These findings should be tested in further studies.
- Delta-9-THC taken by mouth: Two small clinical trials of oral delta-9-THC showed that it relieved cancer pain. In the first study, patients had good pain relief as well as relief of nausea and vomiting and better appetite. A second study showed that delta-9-THC could be given in doses that gave pain relief comparable to codeine. Higher doses of delta-9-THC were found to be more sedating than codeine. An observational study of nabilone also showed that it relieved cancer pain along with nausea, anxiety, and distress when compared with no treatment. Neither dronabinol nor nabilone is approved by the FDA for pain management.
- Whole Cannabis plant extract medicine: A study of a whole-plant extract of Cannabis that contained specific amounts of cannabinoids, which was sprayed under the tongue, found it was effective in patients with advanced cancer whose pain was not relieved by strong opioids alone. This treatment was studied using different doses in a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of cancer patients with chronic pain not controlled by opioids. Patients who received the lower doses of cannabinoid spray showed markedly better pain control and less sleep loss compared with patients who received a placebo. Adverse side effects depended on the dose received. Only patients in the high-dose group had adverse side effects that made the treatment less beneficial than the placebo. Some patients using the cannabinoid spray were followed in a long-term study. Results showed that, for some patients, control of their cancer-related pain continued without needing higher doses of spray or higher doses of their other pain medicines.
- Inhaled Cannabis: A study of inhaled Cannabis in patients with HIV -related peripheral neuropathy found better pain control in the Cannabis group than in the placebo group. Another study involved patients with various kinds of chronic pain that was not relieved by other pain medicines. Results showed that those treated with either low-dose or medium-dose inhaled Cannabis had improved pain relief at both doses compared to patients treated with a placebo. Side effects of the inhaled Cannabis were minor. To date, no clinical trials have studied cannabinoids in the treatment of chemotherapy-related neuropathy in patients with cancer.
Anxiety and sleep
- Inhaled Cannabis: A small case series found that patients who inhaled marijuana had improved mood, improved sense of well-being, and less anxiety.
- Whole Cannabis plant extract spray: A trial of a whole-plant extract of Cannabis that contained specific amounts of cannabinoids, which was sprayed under the tongue, found that patients had improved sleep quality.
Adverse side effects of cannabinoids may include:
- Rapid beating of the heart.
- Low blood pressure.
- Muscle relaxation.
- Bloodshot eyes.
- Slowed digestion and movement of food by the stomach and intestines.
- Dizziness.
- Depression.
- Hallucinations.
- Paranoia.
Because Cannabis smoke contains many of the same substances as tobacco smoke, there are concerns about how smoked cannabis affects the lungs. A study of over 5,000 men and women without cancer over a period of 20 years found that smoking tobacco was linked with some loss of lung function but that occasional and low use of cannabis was not linked with loss of lung function.
Because use of Cannabis over a long time may have harmful effects on the endocrine and reproductive systems, rates of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) in Cannabis users have been studied. Larger studies that follow patients over time and laboratory studies of cannabinoid receptors in TGCTs are needed to find if there is a link between Cannabis use and a higher risk of TGCTs.
Both Cannabis and cannabinoids may be addictive.
Symptoms of withdrawal from cannabinoids may include:
- Irritability.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Restlessness.
- Hot flashes.
- Nausea and cramping (rarely occur).
These symptoms are mild compared to withdrawal from opiates and usually lessen after a few days.Are Cannabis or cannabinoids approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved Cannabis or cannabinoids for use as a cancer treatment.Are Cannabis or cannabinoids approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as a treatment for cancer-related symptoms or side effects of cancer therapy?
Cannabis is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any cancer-related symptom or side effect of cancer therapy.
Two cannabinoids (dronabinol and nabilone) are approved by the FDA for the treatment of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in patients who have not responded to standard therapy.

Changes to This Summary (03 / 22 / 2013)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version.
In writing Cancer Information Summaries, PDQ Editorial Boards review current evidence. They do not make recommendations or develop guidelines. Their work is editorially independent of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This summary on Cannabis and cannabinoids does not represent a policy statement of NCI or NIH. The summary statement represents an independent review of the literature; that review is not influenced by NCI or any other federal agency.
General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also referred to as integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any therapeutic approach, because some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere with their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Approaches
It is important that the same rigorous scientific evaluation used to assess conventional approaches be used to evaluate CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to evaluate CAM therapies for cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a rigorous scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have undergone rigorous evaluation. A small number of CAM therapies originally considered to be purely alternative approaches are finding a place in cancer treatment—not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to be effective in the management of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. In contrast, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found ineffective or potentially harmful.
The NCI Best Case Series Program, which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being investigated. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM conducts a critical review of the materials and develops follow-up research strategies for approaches deemed to warrant NCI-initiated research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks associated with this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Will the therapy interfere with conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is sponsoring the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

As the disease progresses, individuals become weaker are are eventually wheelchair-dependent. Death often results from respiratory failure within 2 to 10 years after the onset of symptoms. Most affected individuals have a sporadic (not inherited) form of ALS; about 5-10% have a familial (inherited) form of the condition. Familial ALS may caused by mutations in any one of several genes and the pattern of inheritance varies depending on the gene involved.[2] Treatment is generally supportive.[3]Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive

Which of this year's actors are worthy of the industry's highest honor?
If the screenplay is the backbone of a movie and the director its eyes, the actors and actresses who bring the characters to life on screen are its heart and soul. A bad script in the hands of wonderful actors can still make for a pretty decent movie, but give a wonderful script to bad actors and you're gonna get a bad movie every time. This year, there were a considerable number of exceptionally well written movies starring talented actors and actresses released by both independent studios and the majors so there are almost too many eligible candidates to consider for Academy Award nominations. We already asked you to tell us which actresses deserve consideration come Oscar time — so far, you've chosen Jennifer Lawrence for her leading role in Silver Linings Playbook and Anne Hathaway for her supporting role in Les Miserables — now tell us which actors are worthy of the movie industry's highest honors, whether Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor.

Storage performance in a virtualized environment is not just about IOPS, it is about how well that potential performance is guaranteed to individual VMs for these apps as the number of VMs keep going up real time.

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud.

This is a compelling film about sustainable agriculture in Vermont through the lens of a single farm- Lilac Ridge, originally a traditional dairy operation, which has transitioned to organic and added organic vegetables and other products to become a truly diversified farm.
Three generations of the Thurber family appear in the film, talking about life on the farm and how they made important changes that have led to their current success.
The average forkful of food in the US has traveled 1,300 miles to the dinner plate. This statistic irks many Vermonters, who feel that utilizing local and sustainable food is a crucial opportunity to address a multitude of issues in one fell swoop. Through a radical transformation of the American super-size-me agricultural paradigm, one could cut greenhouses gases, reduce the environmental impact of mega-farming, re-establish community and improve nutrition for all, among other things. Vermont is an unlikely place to be at the forefront of this movement because of its comparatively short growing season, yet Vermonters are finding ways to successfully scale down the agricultural status quo while ensuring profits and long-term success to small time family farmers.
This film is an intimate portrait of the participants in a small family farm, showing their relationships with each other, with their community and with the farm. Ross and Amanda Thurber are not necessarily interested in changing paradigms or fueling a revolution in American agriculture. They are primarily interested in making a go of the family farm they inherited from Ross's parents, Stu and Bev (who continue to play a part in operating the farm). To succeed in this endeavor, they have changed a lot about how that farm works; some of their ideas are reflective of the steps many small Vermont farms are taking to achieve success in a nation of super-sized agricultural giants.
They have diversified. What was once a dairy farm is now an organic vegetable-growing, direct-to-restaurants wholesaleing, cut-flowersupplying, farm stand-purveying, egg-producing, farmers' market-retailing operation. They have also transformed every aspect of the farm to attain certified organic status.
They are also taking advantage of Vermont programs that support many of their efforts. At the farmer's market, they accept coupons from families on food stamps and from elderly customers through a State program to help small farmers and to provide better nutrition to those populations. Food stamp recipients at the market can also swipe their food stamp cards in a card reader to receive tokens valid for purchases from the vendors there.
Amanda is on the board of the Farm to School Program, which is committed to maximizing the amount of locally grown food in public school cafeterias. Unexpectedly, some unlikely players in the local food services industry have become quite enthusiastic about the program. She also hosts classes from several local schools and makes classroom presentations at the schools as well.
The film shows the farm through the seasons: planting, harvesting, sugaring, logging and, always, milking. We see interactions with the local community: conversations at the farm stand and farmers' market, a watermelon tasting at the High School, a benefit dinner at the farm. Ross and Amanda, and Stu and Bev talk about farming in Vermont, changes in the state over fifty years, and other issues.
Ames Hill Productions, located in Marlboro, Vermont, is the partnership of Andy Reichsman and Kate Purdie. They have been making films for the past twentyfive years. Recent productions include films for The Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College, The River Gallery School of Art in Brattleboro and The Student Conservation Association.

A search and rescue team found a missing teen who left his home Sunday without a jacket or cellphone.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says 16-year-old Ethan Ryder left his house wearing just a red t-shirt and blue jeans. Because of the dropping temperatures a search and rescue team was called out to look for him.
They didn't find him Sunday, but were able to find him Monday. They haven't said what condition he was in, or where he was found. They do say he is at a Denver hospital.

Monday break-out session
High-level questions for group leaders:
1. "Lifetime browsing history" is a phrase that is often used, but never defined clearly. What would LBH mean as a technical matter?
2. In light of this definition, what technical measures would suppress or delete LBH?
3. Tying LBH to the previous group discussions of "buckets" or "low-entropy cookies," how can the latter continue while suppressing or deleting LBH?
4. Are there any compelling use cases for retaining detailed browsing history beyond a general time limit on retention?
5. If so, how would you limit those use cases consistent with the goals of: (1) limiting LBH; while (2) enabling "buckets" or "low-entropy cookies"?
Background and more detailed set of questions for group leaders to consider:
1. Describing the task: what would it mean to say that a standard means that a user will have "no lifetime browsing history" ("LBH") or "no long-term browsing history" (also "LBH") across multiple sites? Roughly speaking: (a) limit on specific content in refers (such as search terms); (b) limit on specific story title on a newspaper site ("newspaper.com" is not suppressed, but "newspaper.com.specific story on a government leader's personal life" is suppressed); (c) also suppress "newspaper.com"?, or (d) anything else?
[Note: Today we are focusing on this task; not taking a position in this exercise about what other mechanisms, inside or outside of DNT, may address user choice about target marketing.]
2. Given that task definition, what measures exist that could address or achieve suppression of LBH? Deletion? Of what? Delinking or de-identification? (Note – the group session on Tuesday will be on specific techniques of de-identification/delinking, after Ed Felten's presentation on that subject.) Other ways so that the detailed URIs do not go past a certain time?
3. There is interest in "low-entropy cookies" or "buckets" continuing along with the limits on LBH. What would it mean, technically, to continue these while suppressing LBH? Where use buckets/low-entropy cookie, how define minimum bucket size? Any other dimensions relevant to designing what would qualify as a bucket or low-entropy cookie?
4. Any other big-picture things to consider if DNT standard leads to suppression of LBH, while permitting low-entropy cookies?
5. What role for retention of IP addresses, for what purposes, in suppressing LBH?
6. Here is one option for "short term use": "Operators may collect and retain data related to a communication in a third-party context for up to N weeks. During this time, operators may render data deidentified or perform processing of the data for any of the other permitted uses." To what extent would this approach fit with the goal of suppressing LBH? If this approach to short term use is in the standard, are there any uses where details about the browsing history would be retained longer? What are those, and why? Length of time – how would you think about a possible time limit for "short term use"?
7. Moving to specific uses, we had the recent presentation from Media Rating Council about a general one-year retention, but with exceptions allowed where companies have cited privacy concerns. A different but similar audit function concerns financial payments – did a site deliver the promised advertisements? Query – many audit functions are based on sampling rather than having every transaction audited. To what extent has sampling been considered in the DNT process, and to what extent would retention of samples be consistent with suppressing LBH?
8. The MRC speaker said that most campaigns tested by his group are short-term, such as a few weeks or less. What about a presumption that campaigns are that length, but with an exceptions process if a campaign is, of its nature, longer-term?
9. What about cybersecurity, and keeping the detailed URIs? When asked about a one year limit, one person mentioned Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), as an example where annual events are important for telling a denial of service attack from heavy shopping traffic. What is the relevance of highly detailed content of this sort over the long term? Suggestions for mitigating the risks that these security databases become the target for subpoenas or other requests that show LBH?
10. How would other possible permitted uses interact with a limit on LBH? [Leader – you can refer to bare bones text for the current list.] If there is a market research permitted use (and some have objected to that), any reason to have the level of detail of the specific URI for more than the length of the short term use?
11. Wrapping up. In light of the discussion, is the goal of suppressing LBH a useful task to address in DNT process? Do you have a coherent way to do that? What are the pros and cons of working on this goal?

I am a fan of all black. It's simple and elegant at the same time. I know Debra says to overlook the black, white, and denim when looking for clothes, but I am always drawn to black. There is no other color that makes me feel the way I do when I wear black. I think the grayish colors look wonderful on Debra, but I am all about wearing black and using various accessories.
The other photos are lovely as well!

While I'm filled with joy and inspiration--and love for those beautiful women--when I read your posts about Debra, Tziporah, Ilona and others, the lady shown in the middle photo today reflects the way I dress. It's wonderful to see this kind of post, too. All three of these ladies are beautiful and their simplicity of style also reflects great care. Ari, thank you for appreciating that, and thank you for bringing us ALL points on the spectrum. Every man and woman featured here is radiant.

Publication Processing Fees - Author Location
Open Access Publication: All manuscripts submitted to Dove Medical Press are assumed to be submitted under the Open Access publishing model. In this publishing model, papers are peer-reviewed in the normal way under editorial control. When a paper is accepted for publication the author is issued with an invoice for payment of a publication processing fee (see payment details below). There is no submission charge as such, only the publication processing fee after the paper is accepted for publication. Payment of this charge allows Dove Medical Press to recover its editorial and production costs and create a pool of funds that can be used to provide fee waivers for authors from lesser developed countries (see below).
Published papers appear electronically and are freely available from our website. Authors may also use their published .pdf's for any non-commercial use on their personal or non-commercial institution's website.
Upon acceptance for publication a processing fee will be payable. Owing to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates fees may occasionally be subject to change without notice.

Authors living in developing countries: We encourage our authors to publish their papers with us and don't wish the cost of publication processing fees to be an insurmountable barrier especially to authors from the low and lower middle income countries. A range of discounts or waivers are offered to authors who are unable to pay our publication processing fees. We use the World Bank Country Classification table to identify:
- Low income countries. Authors resident in these countries may apply to receive up to a 100% waiver of the standard publication processing fee;
- Lower middle income. Authors resident in these countries may apply to receive a 50% waiver of the standard publication processing fee.
If you are living in a developing country and need to apply for a waiver please email Jeanette Pearce (jeanette @ dovepress.com) with the following information:

Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that he and his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver are separating.
A spokesman for the actor and former California governor issued a statement announcing the news Monday night.
The statement from Schwarzenegger and Shriver says that after "a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer," they decided to live apart while they work on the future of their relationship.
They acknowledge that they're both going through a "time of great personal and professional transition." Both will continue to parent their four children together.
Schwarzenegger finished his second term as governor in January and has been on the speech circuit and pursuing various entertainment projects. Shriver was a correspondent for NBC News when she left to fulfill her role as First Lady.
