Patients and frontline staff will see services remain despite a contractual arrangement between Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group and UnitingCare Partnership LLP ending. Unfortunately both parties have concluded that the current arrangement is no longer financially sustainable.
We would like to reassure patients and carers that services will continue and will not be disrupted. Frontline staff have been doing a great job delivering the new model of care. They are crucial to the provision of good quality care for our patients and are very much part of future arrangements.
We are clear that the innovative model of care for older people and people with long term conditions brings benefits for patients and the whole health and care system and we are all agreed that we wish to keep this model of integrated service delivery.
The CCG will be working with all providers of services in the coming days to ensure that there is a smooth transition for all concerned.
Dr Neil Modha, Chief Clinical Officer of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough CCG
Keith Spencer, Chief Executive of Uniting Care

The leaf-like pattern on the glass pictured here is as beautiful as any work of art. It formed on a windowpane on a very cold winter night. Do you know how it formed? The answer is deposition.
What Is Deposition?
Deposition refers to the process in which a gas changes directly to a solid without going through the liquid state. For example, when warm moist air inside a house comes into contact with a freezing cold windowpane, water vapor in the air changes to tiny ice crystals. The ice crystals are deposited on the glass, often in beautiful patterns like the "leaves" on the window above. Be aware that deposition has a different meaning in Earth science than in chemistry. In Earth science, deposition refers to the dropping of sediments by wind or water, rather than to a change of state.
Examples of Deposition in Nature
Deposition as a change of state often occurs in nature. For example, when warm moist air comes into contact with very cold surfaces—such as the ground or objects on the ground—ice crystals are deposited on them. These ice crystals are commonly called frost. Look at the dead leaf and blades of grass in the Figure below. They are covered with frost. If you look closely, you can see the individual crystals of ice. You can watch a demonstration of frost forming on the side of a very cold can at the URL below. (Click on the mulitmedia choice "Ice on a Can."). The ice in the can has been cooled to a very low temperature by adding salt to it.
Q: In places with very cold winters, why might frost be more likely to form on the ground in the fall than in the winter?
A: Frost forms when the air is warmer than the ground. This is more likely to be the case in the fall. In the winter, the air is likely to be as cold as the ground.
Deposition also occurs high above the ground when water vapor in the air changes to ice crystals. In the atmosphere, the ice crystals are deposited on tiny dust particles. These ice crystals form clouds, generally cirrus clouds, which are thin and wispy. You can see cirrus clouds in the Figure below.
Q: Cirrus clouds form only at altitudes of 6 kilometers or higher above sea level. Do you know why?
A: At this altitude, the atmosphere is always very cold. Unless the air is cold, water vapor will condense to form water droplets instead of ice crystals.
- In chemistry, deposition refers to the process in which a gas changes directly to a solid without going through the liquid state.
- Examples of deposition in nature include frost forming on the ground and cirrus clouds forming high in the atmosphere.
- What is deposition, as defined in chemistry?
- Describe an example of deposition in nature.
- Tom, pictured in the Figure below, started to scrape frost off his windshield before driving to school on a cold morning. Then he decided to let the car's defroster do the work for him. What conditions caused the windshield to become covered with frost, and how does the defroster clear the frost from the windshield?

Live View has been upgraded so that you can create web content visually. Drag and drop HTML elements and assets directly into a live surface. Then drag items within the live surface to move your markup and assets around on the fly. Manage and rearrange the page structure by dragging elements in Element Quick View.
Live View is an interactive preview that accurately renders HTML5 projects and updates in real time to show your changes as you make them.
New Live Guides give you precision control as you insert elements. Efficiently edit web content with the new context menu in Live View. Add, delete, and create selectors using the enhanced Element Display features. Your selections are synched throughout the interface — streamlining the process of finding and updating CSS styles.
In this article, you'll take a tour of the new Live View features as you edit an existing sample project.
The sample project includes a single page that displays a grid of div containers filled with image and text content, designed to promote a fictitious local music center named Play (see Figure 1).
Begin by uncompressing the ZIP file and saving it to your desktop. The sample files folder contains the HTML page and related site files.
- Launch Dreamweaver CC 2014.
- Click the Site Setup icon in the Welcome Screen to open the Site Setup dialog box. Enter the Site name: Live Design. Click the folder icon and browse to select the live_design folder on your desktop (see Figure 2).
- Click Save.
- In the Files panel, double-click the dw_example.html file to open it.
- Select Close Tab Group in the Extract Panel Options menu (see Figure 3).
Tip: You'll be working with an existing sample project to follow along with the steps in this tutorial. However, you could also choose File > New and select one of the new Starter Templates to create a new HTML5 page from scratch.
As you can see in the Document toolbar, Live View is enabled and the Extract workspace is displayed.
The Extract panel makes it easy to bring in web graphics from a PSD file created in Photoshop. The sample file assets for this project are already provided, so closing the Extract panel frees up more screen real estate. You can also drag the top edge of Code View down a bit, to see more of the page design. Check out How to work with Extract in Dreamweaver for a detailed tutorial on this feature.
Right away you'll notice that Live View has changed. In older versions of Dreamweaver, you couldn't accurately preview your designs while editing them. In the newest release of Dreamweaver CC 2014 you can preview rendered HTML5 pages as you update them, and Live View reflects your changes automatically. It's like editing your pages in a browser.
- In the Structure section of the Insert panel, select the Div element and drag it to the page.
- Release the mouse button when the green Live Guide is below the center hero text (see Figure 4).
As you drag the new div around the layout, a green Live Guide indicates where the element will be inserted. Notice how you can drag the HTML element to any location in the layout.
Note: Top and bottom Live Guides display when inserting block elements. Left and right Live Guides display for inline elements.
Quickly update pages by creating new selectors in the Element Display in Live View and then style page elements with CSS Designer. Enter the name of the new class or ID to add it to the HTML page and then choose the CSS source location to save the new rule. CSS Designer highlights selected styles, so you can add properties and update values without hunting for selector names.
- While the new div is selected, click the plus (+) button in the Element Display and type the letter A. Press the down arrow twice and then press Enter/Return to apply the existing .action-title class and style the text (see Figure 5).
- While the .action-title class is selected, press the plus (+) sign again or press Tab to name the new div. Enter the div ID name: #contact and press Enter/Return.
- Choose the linked file: dw_example.css (see Figure 6).
Since the #contact ID is not yet defined in the CSS code, a window appears to let you choose the source location to add the new selector.
Notice that you could also choose to define the style in the current HTML page, select a media query, or create a new CSS file or media query in this window.
- The new #contact selector is highlighted in CSS Designer. In the Layout section, set the left margin to 40px and watch the div move into position (see Figure 7).
Whenever you select an element that has multiple selectors in the Element Display, you can press Tab to switch between them. You can also press Ctrl (Cmd) + C to copy the selected page element.
Tip: Right-click on the selector in the Element Display and choose Go To Code to see the CSS style displayed in Code View (see Figure 8).
Editing pages in Live View makes it easy to isolate specific selectors and update properties of a selected element, even when you're working on projects created by someone else.
Editing text, formatting text blocks, and applying styles has never been easier. Live View renders the page as you make changes, so you don't need to repeatedly preview pages in a browser to check how text content wraps and displays.
- Double-click the content inside the #contact div to see an orange boundary appear.
- Triple-click the placeholder content to select all the words. Type: To learn more, contact email@example.com.
- Select the email address and click the Link button in the Element Display. Type: mailto:email@example.com in the link field (see Figure 9).
The orange boundary indicates that the text is editable.
Tip: Double-click a word to select it or triple-click to select the entire paragraph. Press Enter/Return to create a new paragraph and press Shift-Enter/Return to add a
 tag.
- Click outside of the orange boundary, or press Ctrl (Cmd) + Enter/Return, to commit the changes and deselect the text.
- Click the email address and press Tab. In the Element Display, enter a new class name: .email and choose dw_example.css as the source for the new selector. In the Text section of CSS Designer, click the Color property and use the Eyedropper tool to select the purple color from the keyboard image (see Figure 10).
Tip: If you change your mind before you commit editing changes, you can press the Escape key to cancel them.
- Click the center hero text. The .hero style is highlighted in CSS Designer.
- Update the margin-top property to 50px (see Figure 11).
Editing text, formatting text block layouts, and applying styles has never been easier. Live View renders the page as you make changes, so you don't need to repeatedly preview pages in a browser to check how text content wraps and displays when rendered with CSS styles and Edge Web Fonts.
In addition to dragging elements, you can also click any HTML item in the Insert panel to add it to the page. A dialog box lets you choose how the element is inserted. The new Live View interface offers the flexibility to update pages whichever way you prefer.
- Click the center hero text. In the Structure section of the Insert panel, click the Header element.
- Click the Before option (see Figure 12).
A dialog box shows four insert positions based on the current selection. Choose from the options: Before, After, Wrap, or Nest to insert the new element.
- While the new Header element is selected, click the plus (+) sign and type H. Press the Down arrow to choose the .hero class. Press Enter/Return to apply it.
- Press Tab and create a new style: #header. Set the source to dw_example.css.
- In the Text section of CSS Designer, click the Color property and use the Eyedropper tool to select the turquoise color from the headphone image.
- Double-click the placeholder text to make it editable, and then triple-click the text to select the entire line. Type: Welcome to PLAY! (see Figure 13).
The placeholder text updates to display the .hero style formatting.
Right-click in Live View to make content changes using new menu options and then move page content by dragging it on the live surface.
- Scroll down to select the p tag element below the Call to Action! subheader.
- Right-click the paragraph to open the context menu and choose Duplicate (see Figure 14).
- Drag the duplicated paragraph up until the green Live Guide displays above the Call to Action! subheader.
- Right-click on the duplicated paragraph and choose Delete to remove it (see Figure 15).
The context menu also makes it easy to select parent or child tags, inspect the page, and launch the Code Navigator. Edit projects intuitively in Live View by dragging elements around the page to reposition them.
Element Quick View lets you navigate your page layouts using an interactive list that displays the document HTML structure. Click, drag, and right-click items to select, rearrange, delete, copy, paste, and duplicate HTML elements. Make high-level changes to the page structure and use the context menu to manipulate page elements as you work.
The interactive list makes it easy to select elements while also providing a top-level view of your page. To use Element Quick View to structure the elements on your page:
- Select the H2 .action-title element: Call to Action!
- Click the </> icon in the bottom left corner of the Document window to open Element Quick View (see Figure 16).
Tip: You can also press Ctrl (Cmd) + / to open Element Quick View.
As you look around the workspace, you'll see that the same element is displayed in the Element Display in Live View, in Code View, in the Tag Selector, and in Element Quick View. If you open CSS Designer, the same class is selected.
However you prefer to work, and whichever way you select an element, all other parts of the Dreamweaver interface display your selection.
- In Live View, drag the H2 element to the desired location and hold until you see the </> tooltip appear. Hover over it.
- Element Quick View opens to show you a list of the site elements. Drag the H2 element down until the green Live Guide displays below the P tag. Release your mouse button (see Figure 17).
- Right-click the element name in Element Quick View and choose Duplicate from the context menu (see Figure 18).
- Drag the duplicate H2 above the P tag and release the mouse button.
- Double-click the lower H2 text and update it: Sign Up Now! (see Figure 19).
- In Element Quick View, click the div #tile7 again to collapse the section of the page structure.
- Select the logo image in the top left corner of the grid. Hover over the </> to open Element Quick View and hover over div #tile8 before releasing the mouse button. The PLAY logo image moves from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the page, obscuring its existing background image (see Figure 20).
In the newest release of Dreamweaver CC 2014, Live View performance has improved. As you drag elements around the live surface, you'll notice that Live View is faster and more responsive. You can also drag items within the Element Quick View to move them into a different part of the page structure.
In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, rearranging and moving blocks of code was messy business. Not anymore. With Live Guides, drag and drop HTML elements, and Element Quick View, you don't have to worry about missing a closing tag or nesting content incorrectly. Element Quick View takes the guesswork out of repositioning elements because you see precisely where items are inserted in the site's hierarchy.
Add new artwork to your layouts by dragging design elements directly from the Assets panel.
- Choose Window > Assets to open the Assets panel.
- Select the logo-new.jpg file.
- Drag either the image preview or the logo-new.jpg file name to the #tile1 div in Live View (see Figure 21). Quick Element View shows that the image is nested.
You can use the same workflow to drag media elements from the Media section of the Assets panel.
Note: Alternatively, click the Insert button at the bottom of the Assets panel to insert a selected asset. When you use this method, a window lets you choose where to insert it: Before, After, Wrap, and Nest as you saw in the previous section (see Figure 22).
You can modify attributes of inserted images in the Live PI without using the Property inspector or editing the code in Code View. Make changes quickly to edit the image's source, add titles and Alt text, add links, and improve SEO.
- Click the logo tile in the top left corner. The Attribute Live Display shows that an image file is selected.
- Click the sandwich icon to see the Live PI (see Figure 23).
Tip: To update the image source, you can click the folder icon next to the SRC attribute and browse to select a file. Alternatively, type the source path directly.
- Type PLAY Logo for the Title and Alt attributes (see Figure 24).
Tip: If desired, you can type a URL to add a link or click the folder icon and browse to select another page in the site. Use the Target option to specify where to open the linked document.
- Click the updated logo image to close the Live PI.
Notice that you can also reset the image's width and height values in the Live PI. This feature, combined with CSS Designer and Inspect Mode, makes it easier to manipulate image dimensions as you refine your designs.
- Click the Colors button in the Assets panel to see the list of site colors.
- Select the white color from the list. Right-click and choose Copy Color Value (see Figure 25).
- Select the .grid class in the Tag Selector.
- In the Background section of CSS Designer, right-click the color value field for background-color, choose Paste, and then press Enter/Return to apply the change (see Figure 26).
As you click page elements in Live View, the Element Display "heads-up" dialog boxes show the classes and IDs applied to the selection. Using Element Display features to reconfigure layouts is another way to update pages visually.
- Click the headphones image in the top right corner. The Element Live Display shows that the div tag has a class named .tile and an ID named #tile4 applied.
- Press the Down arrow once to select the tile that contains a keyboard (below the headphones). Notice that all of the tiles have the .tile class applied.
- Hover over the ID #tile5 and click the Remove Class/ID button to delete it (see Figure 28).
The ID is removed and the keyboard image disappears from the layout.
Tip: Alternatively, you can right-click the element to open the Live View context menu and choose Cut (see Figure 29).
- Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect from the context menu. Hover over the headphones to see a tooltip that displays the #tile4 div tag's dimensions: 270px by 270px. Exit Inspect mode by clicking the headphones.
- In the Layout section of CSS Designer, update the Height value to 560px to make the #tile4 div twice as tall, with an extra 20 pixels for padding (see Figure 30).
- In the Background section of the Properties panel, click the URL once to select it and then click the folder icon to the right. Browse to select the tile4-new.jpg file in the images folder of the sample files or simply type tile4-new.jpg in the field (see Figure 31).
The Quick Tag Editor gives you access to the source code without leaving Live View. Make updates to HTML tags with three different editing modes.
- Click the logo image in #tile8 in the bottom right corner of the page.
- Press Ctrl (Cmd) + T to open the Quick Tag Editor with the Edit Tag mode displayed. In the img src tag, select the logo.jpg image name and update it. Type: tile8.jpg and then press Enter/Return to see the new image appear (see Figure 32).
- Select the logo image in #tile1 in the top left corner.
- Press Ctrl (Cmd) + T once to open the Quick Tag Editor. Press Ctrl (Cmd) + T again to switch to the Wrap Tag mode.
- Type a hr and then press Enter/Return to select a href in the list. The code auto completes the  tag (see Figure 33).
Tip: Toggle through the three editing modes by repeated pressing Ctrl (Cmd) + T.
- In between the quotes, type: http://www.adobe.com to add a link and press Enter/Return.
- Click anywhere else on the page and then choose File > Save All.
- Review the completed page design in Live View (see Figure 34).
The Quick Tag Editor is handy whenever you want to make changes to the HTML code without switching to Code View. The three edit modes: Edit Tag, Wrap Tag, and Insert HTML make it easy to update, wrap, and add new HTML content to a page.
Compare Live View with the page rendered in Chrome to see how accurately the layouts match (see Figure 35).
When you return to Dreamweaver, switch to Code View. You'll see that Dreamweaver generates clean HTML code and CSS styles that follow the latest web standards.
Explore the new Live View workflow to see how the new tools speed your production process. Try dragging elements and assets to the page, restructuring page elements in the Element Quick View, adding new selectors with Element Live Display, and defining new styles in CSS Designer.

Kelly WillisView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Although the work of new traditionalist singer/songwriter Kelly Willis earned widespread critical acclaim, she found little in the way of comparable commercial success; her sound, a smart hybrid of country and rock, simply assimilated both musical styles too well to gain acceptance in either camp. Born in Oklahoma and raised in the Washington, D.C., area, she began performing in her boyfriend (and future husband) Mas Palermo's band at the age of 16. Her powerhouse vocals were so popular with club audiences that soon the group was renamed Kelly & the Fireballs in her honor. After Willis graduated high school, the band moved to Austin, Texas, only to break up six months later. As a result, Willis began learning to play guitar while drummer Palermo honed his songwriting chops. The duo started a new band, Radio Ranch, with guitarist David Murray, steel player Michael Hardwick, and bassist Michael Foreman. One of Radio Ranch's performances so impressed singer Nanci Griffith that she began lobbying her label, MCA, to sign to group, leading to Willis' 1990 debut, Well-Travelled Love. In an attempt to capitalize on Willis' stunning looks, she was marketed as a girl-next-door type, and despite the presence of the full band, only her name appeared on the album jacket. Despite the glowing reviews, the LP fared poorly, and so, for her 1991 sophomore effort, Bang Bang, she was depicted as a coquettish pinup. Again, however, the good publicity the record received did not translate to radio airplay, let alone chart sales. For her third album, comprised largely of her own songs, Willis joined forces with pop producer Don Was; the self-titled 1993 effort suffered the same fate as its predecessors, however, and she was dropped by MCA shortly after its release. Following a few years of relative inactivity, she resurfaced in 1995, duetting with Son Volt's Jay Farrar on the Red Hot & Bothered compilation, and after issuing a 1996 independent label EP, Fading Fast, announced plans for a 1997 LP on A&M. In late 1996, she married fellow Austin musician Bruce Robison. As the '90s drew to a close, Willis inked a deal with Rykodisc. Her fourth album, What I Deserve, appeared in 1999 and it was a breakthrough hit for Willis. Time Magazine hailed the album as "the smartest, most consistently worthwhile country CD" to have been released that year. Three years later, Willis returned to the scene with Easy, which included collaborative efforts with Vince Gill, Union Station's Dan Tyminski, and Nickel Creek's Chris Thile. Willis tossed her hat into the crowded yuletide scene in 2006 with the amiable Happy Holidays, followed by her seventh album, the Chuck Prophet-produced Translated from Love in 2007. In 2008, Willis announced she was taking some time off from the road. She made only sporadic appearances, usually as a guest with Robinson, but otherwise kept a low profile. She finally emerged from her long silence with Cheater's Game, a collaborative album with her husband produced by Brad Jones. The set featured songs by Dave Alvin, Robert Earl Keen, Hayes Carll, and others; it was released in in time for Valentine's Day in 2013. Critical and popular reception of the recording proved so promising, the two decided to collaborate on another duets collection with the same producer. Our Year was released in the spring of 2014. ~ Jason Ankeny

Ehd-My Computer Sees It But Wants To Format It
Posted 31 August 2009 - 05:12 PM
Posted 31 August 2009 - 06:04 PM
My SG Gallery My Blog I scrap with PSPX1
Posted 31 August 2009 - 06:44 PM
Posted 31 August 2009 - 07:03 PM
I have a WD MyBook EHD that I've had for 3 years or so. "My Computer" sees the drive but won't read it. It asks me if I want to format the drive. Needless to say, I quit at that point. My tech looked at it and said I'd need someone who specializes in recovering or restoring the structure. Does anyone have any suggestions? I talked to a couple people and they said it could cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,600 depending on how serious it was. YIKES! It's unplugged and sitting on the shelf right now but it has some important files I'd like to have copied over. I'd appreciate any advice you could share.
One thing to try before you give up --
I was just having trouble with my EHD, and sometimes my PC recognized it and other times I got the "this drive needs to be formatted" error. So I tried resetting the drive (unplug from wall and leave for 10 minutes) and that helped for a week or two, and then it started again. I contacted Maxtor and they suggested trying another data cable (USB cable) and I did and it was FIXED! That was a week or so ago and it still is fine as can be.
So play with it a little bit before hanging it up for dead.
Good luck!

Posted 31 August 2009 - 08:02 PM
I know better...it just caught me off guard. One of those "Laws of the Universe"! Thank you for your response. I'll try it tonight if I can locate another cable.
Posted 01 September 2009 - 05:09 AM
It worked!!!
Of course, I quickly copied all the files to another hard drive and I'm not using that particular MyBook anymore...
Posted 01 September 2009 - 07:04 AM
Thanks for you suggestion. I'll try it again.
Posted 01 September 2009 - 07:13 AM
Next I'll try connecting it to my husband's new laptop. He's using it now so I'll try that later.
Posted 01 September 2009 - 07:22 AM
Posted 02 September 2009 - 08:58 PM
Thanks for your suggestions. Who knows what little thing it might take to wake it up and recover some files. I do appreciate your ideas.

Just wanted to let you know that we will be taking 20 % off on all calls tomorrow only. Visit us at www.roostem.com and support a local callmaker. All calls gauranteed! Here is a fine example of one of our calls. This is a purple heart and sassafras longbox.

Woohoo! My paper for blackhat was accepted. Now, all I need is for my company to agree to let me go.
life == depression
Douglas Adams is no more. Bugger. A suffusion of yellow.
My mum is trying to cut me off, and today is Mother's day. I don't know if I should even call.
Life is too short for this sort of shit.

Why could not have Obama offered such a solution publicly? Was he afraid he'd be turned down? Even so, he would have had the argument that he offered a diplomatic solution rather than just a military one. Did Syria's turndown of the Qatari pipeline (wanted by the Saudis) have any influence over Obama's approach?
I'm sure Putin is not being benevolent ... he just wants to keep his country from getting into a ME war, and, of course, gain world stature by being the arbiter of a grand compromise that saves face for all concerned.
Obama could not have suggested it. It would have been a beginning negotiating point rather than what we hope to be is the end result. We should not have been negotiating anyways. Obama acted as he ought to have. Predictability in world politics is very good.
It was in Russian interests to not have an attack occur, but Putin does deserve credit, he stepped in and found a solution that was acceptable to everyone. Kudos to all the actors involved also, it is not easy to step back from ones own position to accept a compromise.
Just don't forget that if Syria does not act in good faith and disarm its chemical weapons the strike option will be there and have more credibility as the only viable option.

Memorial Sloan Kettering's Sidney Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers is a state-of-the-art treatment center focused entirely on genitourinary cancers — tumors of the prostate, kidney, bladder, or testicle. Our multidisciplinary disease management teams are dedicated to providing patients with the most effective care available today — from the initial detection and diagnosis of disease to progressive treatment, rehabilitation, and follow-up care.
353 East 68th Street
New York, NY 10065
The Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center offers the most effective and advanced care available today for patients with genitourinary cancers.
The Kimmel Center is a one-stop portal to outstanding experts in urologic surgery, medical oncology, cancer screening, sexual rehabilitation, and many other elements of care. Our physicians dedicate themselves entirely to providing personalized care while providing innovative, state-of-the-art treatment for specific genitourinary cancers.
This means you will be cared for by a team of physicians who are extraordinarily experienced in diagnosing and treating the type of cancer you have.
Learn more about our expertise in specific disease areas:
Our Approach to Care
The Kimmel Center was designed to offer our patients a modern and comfortable treatment environment that brings together teams of experts in many aspects of care, including cancer detection, urologic surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, and sexual rehabilitation.. Our staff also includes psychiatrists, psychologists, rehabilitation therapists, and social workers who are dedicated to supporting you and your loved ones throughout your treatment and helping you return to a fully functional life.
No two cancers are alike – and, similarly, no two sets of life circumstances are the same. At the Kimmel Center, we pay close attention to the individual opportunities and challenges you might face during treatment and recovery. A cornerstone of our approach is to learn as much as we can about the behavior and risks of your disease, as well as your personal goals and quality-of-life concerns. Each of these considerations is taken into account as we develop a well-informed treatment approach that is optimal for you.
Access to Innovative Treatment
Memorial Sloan Kettering experts are recognized worldwide for their pioneering research and treatment innovation in prostate and other urologic cancers. Today, we are able to offer our patients more effective and personalized treatment options than ever before – thanks to an improved understanding of the basic biology underlying the diseases, along with recent innovations in medicine and technology.
Many of our physicians are developing new drugs and diagnostic methods for prostate and urologic cancers, and are leading clinical trials of innovative therapies and technologies. Memorial-Sloan Kettering investigators are also pioneering the use of high-precision and image-guided technology for surgery and radiation, allowing us to increase the effectiveness of such treatments while diminishing the risks of adverse side effects.
Because of our active research agenda, many Kimmel Center patients who qualify as candidates for a clinical study have access to innovative treatments or diagnostic approaches that are not available at most hospitals. Learn more about clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Services Offered
- Cancer Detection, Screening, and Diagnosis
- Chemotherapy

You are welcome to bring your family members and loved ones to help you pass the time.
Surgery, Radiation Therapy, and Focal Therapy
Memorial Sloan Kettering's physicians are at the forefront of developing and applying innovative, high-precision treatments for genitourinary cancers. We have extensive experience in minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), focal therapy, and other advanced techniques.
If surgery or radiation is part of your care, your treatment will take place at Memorial Sloan Kettering's main hospital. In most cases you will be able to meet with your doctors for consultations and follow-up appointments at the Kimmel Center.
Sexual Health
If you have been diagnosed with a prostate or urologic cancer, you may be concerned about how the disease or its treatment could affect your sexual life. At the Kimmel Center, a specialized team of urologists, nurses, and social workers is available to help men and women address any sexual health concerns as they arise. We offer evaluation, diagnostic procedures, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as counseling and other support services. Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's sexual health programs.
Some patients find it challenging to maintain a proper diet, manage their weight, or cope with changes in appetite and taste during and after cancer treatment. At the Kimmel Center, certified dietitian-nutritionists are available on-site to discuss dietary options and help you establish healthy eating habits.
Counseling and Support
The Kimmel Center's team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers can help you address your psychological, social, and practical needs. Our counselors and support groups help individuals, couples, and families work through issues that arise during treatment. Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's Support Services.
In addition, current and former Memorial Sloan Kettering patients are available to speak with you as patient-to-patient volunteers, sharing their experiences and offering advice. Learn more about our Patient-to-Patient Support Program.
After your treatment is completed, the Kimmel Center offers comprehensive follow-up care and a range of services to promote wellness and cancer prevention. Your care team will identify and manage any side effects that result from your treatment, screen for a recurrence of your cancer or new cancer growth, and make referrals for other medical conditions. In addition, we provide education, support, and referrals for psychological and social concerns after treatment.
If you have been treated for prostate cancer, your follow-up care will be coordinated through the Prostate Cancer Survivorship Program.
Our Patient Portal
Kimmel Center patients can easily access information about their care via a secure Internet site called MYMSKCC. By logging into your MYMSKCC account, you can confirm and keep track of your appointments, view lab results, communicate with your healthcare team, and update your contact and insurance information.

It's Showtime May 21st Preview: Frank Pareces Vilches vs. Robert van Nimwegen
- Written by Rian Scalia
In the second fight of the main card, Dutchman Robert van Nimwegen takes on Peruvian Frank Pareces Vilches in a -65kg contest.
Robert van Nimwegen fights out of the Van Os Gym in Alkmaar, Holland. He holds an unspectacular 0-4 record in It's Showtime. Tomorrow at It's Showtime in Amsterdam, he's looking to finally get in the win column under the It's Showtime banner.
A veteran of the game, van Nimwegen has yet to have a breakthrough in the kickboxing world. He's often lost when he takes a step up in competition and can win fighting lower level opponents. His next opponent will be another step up in competition. Can he finally win and make a move up the ladder?
Although not well known, Frank Pareces Vilches is a veteran of the kickboxing game, mostly fighting under Thai rules. He's fought and trained all over the world including living and training in Russia and Uzbekistan. Currently living and training out of the Superpro Samui camp in Thailand, he's looking to make a name for himself on the main card of a big event. It's Showtime is one of the biggest stages of kickboxing and just fighting there will make him more recognized.
This fight likely comes down to who will throw more strikes and dictate the fight. van Nimwegen likes to come forward but he doesn't throw anything if strikes are coming his way. Vilches has shown that he can move around his opponent with footwork and get some shots off. Vilches like to counter with the hands and string together combinations. Although he doesn't have the prettiest technique with his hands, his combinations are put together quite nicely and accurately. If Vilches can keep throwing strikes while moving, he has a high chance of winning.
van Nimwegen's best strike is probably his right low kick. He throws a hard low kick that will definitely slow down opponents. The problem with him though is that he doesn't strike enough. He'll come forward and cover up without throwing anything back while opponents are striking. Vilches can move around the ring and strike so van Nimwegen will need to open up to win the fight. van Nimwegen can absorb a lot of punishment and all of that happens when he covers up and doesn't throw anything.
Although primarily fighting under Thai rules, Vilches has the style to make it work in It's Showtime's K-1-like ruleset. He mixes his combinations together nicely, utilizing both punches and kicks. He'll mostly just throw low kicks at his opponents and then get to work with the hands.
Vilches has the style to give van Nimwegen fits. van Nimwegen will most likely be following Vilches around the ring while Vilches picks his shots. Vilches' hand combinations will come through and get him a unanimous decision victory.

Red Snapper Numbers Go Up In More Ways Than One
Posted On July 15, 2013 by Libby Fetherston
UPDATE (July 17, 2013): Success! The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council has voted to raise this year's catch limit for red snapper from 8.46 to 11 million pounds due to the successful rebuilding of this iconic species. This action marks a historic moment in the management of the red snapper fishery, as catch levels are the highest they've been in 25 years.
Read more about this decision here.
Original post (July 15, 2013):
It's summer in the Gulf of Mexico, and another recreational red snapper fishing season has come and gone too quickly. Usually at this time of year, anglers and fishery managers are taking stock of what was caught in the short snapper opening and wondering what the limit will be next year. The answer will come sooner than usual.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is holding an emergency meeting this week to decide how many more red snapper can be caught this year. A science panel recently announced that an increase is possible, and now managers need to settle the questions of how much and by when?
The good news is that the red snapper population is on the rise and soon the catch limit will be too. The law governing our nation's fisheries, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, has rebuilt a record number of fish populations around the country, and red snapper is one of the most visible success stories.

Hearing Rand Paul on Rush this morning tells me he is right on, and his views on the military are a far cry from what the libertarians on POTUS continue to tell us what is wrong with conservative thinking in this nation. Tea Party folks are in full support of Rand Paul. We aren't full fledged libertarians, although we do support much of their agenda and principles. But the constant slamming by Franco that would lead readers to believe we are all neo-cons and actually, in his mind, "war-mongers". Sorry Franco, but you are way off the res with that thinking. But I'm not here to convince you of anything. I understand your mindset, and it's as made up in your views as an Allen Combs is in his.
Here's another good Tea Party supporter in favor of the Rand Paul filibuster, along with another huge attempt by the Republican establishment to belittle what real conservatives want to happen in this nation. So our first battle is to rid this country of the RINOs and establishment cronies...along with the socialistic Democrats on the Senate, that swing more Fascist/Marxist almost daily.
The Rand Paul Filibuster: A Point Not to be Missed
By: Erick Erickson (Diary)
Rand Paul has done a brilliant thing filibustering the President's appointment to the CIA.
By keeping the filibuster going through prime time, Rand Paul forced ABC, CBS, and NBC — chief sources of news for low information voters — to cover the issue.
Along the way, Rand Paul had help giving him time to rest his voice. Ted Cruz came down a few hours in to give Paul a break. Mike Lee and Jerry Moran came in. Cruz read tweets in support of Paul.
Mark Kirk, who returned to the Senate a short while back after a very bad stroke, came in to support Rand Paul.
Even Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon joined in the filibuster.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham and John McCain went to eat dinner with the President. That speaks for itself.

Simple steps to prevent and treat the flu
12-14-2011 (Dayton, OH) -
The Children's Medical Center of Dayton has seen its first verified case of the flufor the 2011-2012 winter season. It is not too late to get the flu vaccine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) along with the experts at Dayton Children's strongly recommend that anyone age 6 months or older have the vaccine.
According to the CDC, each year in the United States more than 200,000 people, on average, are hospitalized from flu complications. Twenty thousand of those hospitalized are children younger than 5 years old.
"While the flu is not often difficult to treat, it is best to prevent it entirely," says Sherman Alter, MD, medical director of infectious disease at Dayton Children's. Dr. Alter offers these tips for preventing and treating the flu.
Flu Prevention – Stop it before it stops you
- Visit your local pharmacy or family doctor to get the flu vaccine.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are okay as an alternative.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue.
- Keep sick children at home including out of school or day care until they are better—usually seven days after the illness starts is adequate.
- Eat healthy and find healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.
Recognizing the Flu – Common symptoms
- Rapid onset of fever
- Headache
- Body aches
- Chills and fatigue
- Cough
- Sometime vomiting and diarrhea
If your child has any of the following symptoms, they should be taken to the Emergency Department:
- Fast breathing or trouble breathing
- Bluish or gray skin color
- Not drinking enough fluids
- Not waking up or not interacting (not responding to your voice or making eye contact)
- Being so irritable (cranky) that he or she does not want to be held
- Not urinating (peeing) or no tears when crying
- Symptoms improve, but soon return with worse cough and fever
"Since the flu is a virus, it cannot and should not be treated with anantibiotic. Viruses can really take a toll on an individual's immune system, so letting a child's body catch up on rest and re-hydrate is one of the best things you can do" says Navjyot K. Vidwan, MD pediatric infectious disease physician at Dayton Children's.
Treating the Flu – Simple tips
- Offer plenty of fluids. Fever, which can be associated with the flu, can lead to dehydration.
- If your child is tired of drinking plain water, try ice pops, icy drinks mixed in a blender, and soft fruits (like melons or grapes) to maintain hydration.
- Encourage your child to rest in bed or on the couch.
- Helped with a supply of magazines, books, quiet music, or a favorite movie.
- Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for aches and pains. Do not give aspirinunless your doctor directs you to do so.
- Dress your child in layers so you can add and remove layers during bouts of chills or fever.
- Wash your handsthoroughly and often, especially after picking up used tissues.
- Take care of yourself and the other people in your family! If you haven't done so, ask your doctor whether you (and other family members) should get a flu shot.
- Ask a close relative or faraway friend to call and help lift your child's spirits.

Fits my 4yo
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My 4 y/o daughter has an average sized head and this was the next step up from an infant size helmet for her. With the secure lock all the way cinched down, it fits now and looks like it will last quite a while.
Nice kids helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My son just turned 2 and we go the large and it's a bit big even though he has a big head. It is adjustable in the back but its still a bit large, but he should grow into it by summer. Overall really like the design and the fact it is adjustable.
Write your question here...what size helmet...
Write your question here...what size helmet would a 3 year old boy need? He would be using this with a scooter he is getting fot Xmas.
Hey Janice, you will need to measure your little guy's head.
Then cross check that measurement with the sizing chart on the ruler icon above. Or just check out this link:

Hardly a week goes by that we don't hear a story from someone who has ended up in a financial mud pool because they did not follow some basic money rules.
No matter how often people are advised how to manage their money better, it seems it is never enough so here are some common-sense tips on how to manage money better.
Put whatever spare money you have into debt repayment. Even small increases in mortgage repayments will add up to savings of thousands of dollars in interest in the long run. Interest rates are low at present, but they won't stay this low. Invest the interest rate savings back into your mortgage so you will be in a better position to deal with an interest rate rise.
If you are locked into a fixed rate loan you would like to repay but don't want to pay break fees (early repayment fees), all is not lost. Most banks allow part repayment without penalty.
One reader from Whangarei had two fixed rate mortgages that had some time to go before coming off the fixed rate. Repaying the loan early would have cost thousands of dollars in early repayment fees, but the bank did allow them to increase their monthly principal repayments by $1000 on each mortgage without incurring any penalties.
Most banks offer this sort of arrangement and it's a good way to make use of savings.
If you are refinancing or entering into a new mortgage, shop around for the best deal. Banks currently have access to lots of low-cost money that they want to lend. Typically, trading banks add a margin of about 2 per cent to the cost of their money and, in today's market, most will shave 0.25 per cent off their rate to get your business.
In terms of a debt strategy, the general opinion of experts appears to be to lock-in short-term fixed rates (eg, 12 months) because the short-term fixed rates are lower than the variable or floating rate. Interest rates are likely to remain low for another year or so which still leaves the opportunity to lock in a long-term fixed rate when the loan comes off fixed rate next year.
Most cities have a free budget advisory service. They will give an unbiased opinion about financial contracts. If in doubt, give them a call.
If you have debt such as hire purchase finance or credit card debts and a mortgage, look at the possibility of consolidating all of the debt into a single mortgage. Mortgage debt is cheaper because it offers more security for the lender.
Avoid hire purchase. The Retirement Commission refers to this as dumb-debt, and it is. Do not be tempted by easy credit. It is an expensive way to buy stuff such as vehicles, furniture, clothes and holidays. It is bad enough that these items lose value. Don't add to your problems by paying interest as well.
If you are repaying consumer debt by monthly instalments, compare the total payments to be made over the instalment term, against the cost of paying up-front. The difference is interest charges. We did a calculation for some office equipment recently which showed the annual finance cost was 17.5 per cent.
If you use a credit card, and many people do to collect reward points, make sure you make payments in full and on time.
Don't guarantee others' debts. We continually hear about people losing their homes because they have guaranteed someone else's loan. Often the guarantor is a parent thinking they are doing the right thing for a child. It's not the right thing to do.

Central America Floods: UN launches US$14.3m appeal for Nicaragua
The United Nations called today for US$14.3 million to help 134,000 Nicaraguans deal with severe flooding over the next six months.
"This emergency situation has been unfolding since 10 October and is still evolving. It is truly a disaster in the making," says Mr. Pablo Mandeville, UN Resident Coordinator in Nicaragua.
Heavy rainfall throughout the country has caused flooding and landslides, severely damaging property, vital infrastructure, agricultural crops and the environment.
Over 10,000 houses have been affected. More than 10,000 people are in emergency shelters, and many others have sought refuge in schools, communal centres and churches.
Water sources and latrines have also been affected raising concern about disease outbreak.
Access to remote areas is still limited, as many roads are blocked by debris or isolated by flooding and landslides. The RC warned that needs will probably increase in the coming weeks, especially as rains continue throughout the region.
"Nicaragua is one of the most vulnerable countries, natural disasters are recurrent. Humanitarian assistance is urgently needed to complement the Government's very effective efforts," said the Resident Coordinator.
Addressing a Member States briefing in Geneva, he urged strong support "to assure that the most vulnerable, who have lost their homes and livelihoods, receive urgent assistance, as well as support for setting the foundation for a life after the disaster."
This is the second Appeal to be launched this week by the UN in response to the flooding in the Central American region. On Tuesday, the UN issued a US$ 15.7 million Appeal for El Salvador.

Art of Fashion Award Celebration Dinner
The Timken Museum of Art and the David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, are hosting Art of Fashion 2014: A Design Competition. Eight graduate designers will create costumes inspired by the 1788 Thomas Gainsborough painting A Peasant Smoking at a Cottage Door. The painting is on extended loan to the Timken from UCLA's Hammer Museum.
International fashion icon and designer Zandra Rhodes and an honorary "pink list" committee comprised of fashion-forward and civic-minded ladies will judge the designs the week prior to the dinner. The winning designer will be presented with a scholarship award at the Art of Fashion Award Celebration dinner. During the reception, Oscar-nominated costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis, founding director of the Copley Center, will review the judging criteria. Guests will have the opportunity to examine the remarkable costumes, created on half-scale dress forms, and to speak with the graduate designers about their inspiration and design process. Timken board member Lori Walton is a UCLA alumna and her husband, Basketball Hall of Famer and UCLA All-American Bill Walton, are dinner co-chairs and will be in attendance.
