Dr. Mike's ABC's of Sunscreen Tips
WASHINGTON - Dr. Mike Varshavski, PEOPLE's Sexiest Doctor Alive of 2015, says keeping your skin protected in the summer sun comes down to the basics.
"People think that sunblock is the end all to prevent skin cancer. It's really not," he said. Here's Dr. Mike's ABC'S of Sunscreen Tips:
The sun is strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can use clothing, hats, and towels – even umbrellas! Anything thing you have to keep the sun from hitting your skin will work!
If you can't cover your body – apply sunblock. And after you apply it once – reapply! Most sunblock last only two hours.
Dr. Mike says most people apply sunblock the WRONG WAY! He said reapplication is the key to using sunblock correctly. Another myth busted – there is no such thing as 'waterproof' sunblock. Even those need to be reapplied as well.
And remember to apply sunscreen to the areas we often times forget. The ears, the back of the hands, and legs are often forgotten.
Dr. Mike says it takes about 30 minutes for sunblock to start working. He advises to apply it 15 minutes before going out so that your skin can get a good dose of vitamin D.
Here is Consumer Report's list of Best Sun Protection: http://www.consumerreports.org/sun-protection/get-the-best-sun-protection/
Keep your skin healthy by keeping your body hydrated. Dr. Mike says properly hydrating can prevent heat stroke. Plus, the skin feels better and looks better.
Harmful UV rays can cause cataracts. Put on some shades – be stylish! Plus, the area around the eyes stays covered as well.

Patrícia Scalvi
Reviews and pictures of actress Patrícia Scalvi naked in "Profissão Mulher", "O Convite ao Prazer", "Orgia das Taras", and 5 more titles.
Born: 1954 Country: Brazil
One of the best actresses of the Brazilian pornochanchada genre. Certainly not the prettiest, with her big nose, and big feet, but Patricia was the one called for when extra screen presence and dramatic range was needed. She specialised in giving off an aura of smouldering resentment, and made the perfect rebellious inmate for a woman's prison. More recently she's been a leading voiceover artist for big Hollywood names.

O Paraíso Proibido (Carlos Reichenbach, Brazil, 1971) (as Júlia aged 17)
# Presídio de Mulheres Violentadas (Brazil, 1977) (featuring Patrícia Scalvi aged 23) ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭
with Meiry Vieira, Zilda Mayo, Esmeralda Barros, Hugo Bidet, Glaucia Maria, Cinira Camargo, Turíbio Ruiz, Eudósia Acuña, Shirley Steck and Evelyn Erika
This is a WiP-flick from Brazil, directed by Oswaldo de Oliveira who soon after brought us the classic Bare Behind Bars (1980). Unfortunately it is only available in an Italian version with tasteless inserts which are very jarring, especially in the clip below.
Patricia takes the innocent new prisoner role - these films all seem to have exactly the same plot. In this clip we witness her induction, along with another woman, enhanced by ominous 'spaghetti western' style music. Meiry Vieira is the older wardress who almost gets her fingers inside the vulnerable girl's knickers before the cut to the insert.

with Aldine Muller, Selma Egrei, Mii Saki, Sérgio Hingst, Ewerton de Castro, Joseph Kang Doo, André Piacentini, Geórgia Carolina, Alexandre Comisso and Luiz Carlos Viana
Who could possibly resist Patricia in a school uniform? With glasses too. And even braces on her teeth! (Might just be fillings actually, the picture isn't very good.)
She and hitchhiking pal Aldine Muller are picked up by a middle-aged family man and spirited away to a lonely tropical beachhouse. This complacent geezer might like to think he is in control of any situation involving himself and two naive nymphettes, but what he doesn't know is that these girls share an intimate telepathic bond which is at its strongest when they are either partially clothed or frigging themselves.
So this out-of-shape man (Sérgio Hingst), at the risk of spraining an ankle, races the girl into the jungle and to the waterfall. Of course our Patti wins, and claims her prize: she gets to strip off first while he has to stand and watch like a voyeuristic old creep. Someone on the set ought to have reminded her to leave her glasses till last, but like many sexually precocious girls she thinks she knows it all.
The screencaps tell the rest of the story. Patricia makes a very nice water nymph indeed. Watch Hingst try to slip in a sly spank on the bottom only for her to wriggle out of his grasp.

From part one of a popular three part compilation. Here Patricia plays a desperate drug addict on the verge of suicide. It's strange how shameful it is to be caught in the act of self murder even at the best of times, so think how much worse it must be for Patricia naked in the bath.

with Nadia Destro, Aldine Muller, Mii Saki, Alvamar Taddei, Bentinho, John Doo, John Herbert, José Miziara, José Carlos Sanches and Joffre Soares
A long-drawn-out 'female hostages stripped at gunpoint' scene from this lively pornochanchada. Patricia has just got back from making passionate love with Nadia Destro when the pair are pounced on by a gang of armed thugs. Aldine Muller and Alvamar Taddei are naked already (I mentioned it was a lively one). One at a time they are to be taken to the bedroom and raped. 'Only one at a time', shrugs Nadia as she's the first to be led away, 'you guys got heart conditions or something?'
I've cut most of the 'rape' scenes out for being too long, poorly lit, and boring, but couldn't resist a 'snatch' of hungriness featuring Nadia. In an unrelated vignette Misaki Tanaka is with John Herbert, the perfect gentleman as always. Meanwhile the most greasily enthusiastic of the gang is breaking rule number one of psycho-sexual warfare: never point a loaded gun at a woman's crotch, it's such a confession of impotence you might as well stencil 'I am a penisless man' on your tee-shirt.
I was impressed by the spontaneous way Patricia appointed herself unofficial spokeswoman. If anyone can see the girls through this crisis it's level-headed Patti. Just look at her body language: conciliatory without being craven, you can why her companions turn to her so naturally for leadership. The more I see of this girl the more I like.

# Orgia das Taras (Luiz Castellini, Brazil, 1980) (featuring Patrícia Scalvi as Silvia aged 26) ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭
with Matilde Mastrangi, Flávio Porto, Lu Martan, Sérgio Hingst, André Lopes, Celina de Castro, Isa Mark, Pericles Campos, Noelle Pinne and Eleu Salvador
One of those crap 'adult thriller' type things from Brazil starring Patrícia (billed above Matilde Mastrangi no less) under the direction of her husband Luiz Castellini. Since Patti is a particular favourite I've often wondered what it would be like to be married to her myself. I've come to no firmer conclusion than that my work would suffer. Why? Because I'd spend all day idly clock-watching, impatient to get home for some more quality time with my beloved Patrícia. But that wouldn't apply if you were a film director would it?
But there are other dangers. If you were truly besotted with Patti you might indulge yourself in the mistake of casting her to dance enigmatically to the title music as Castellini has done here. There's a form of dancing, considered unique to the older male, involving moves so ill-chosen and clumsily executed that it has become so universally despised as to not even need a particularly insulting epithet: it's called 'dad dancing'. This sequence must be the young female equivalent; we'll have to call it 'niece dancing'.
The plot is the usual boring toss peppered with sex scenes not worth noting. Patti's bear-like husband is trying to make a younger, handsomer chap jealous enough to get him into serious bother. But is he crazy?! That guy's been drinking, and he's got a gun! And he looks like Patrick Mower!! This cannot end well...

with Sandra Bréa, Rossana Ghessa, Kate Lyra, Aldine Muller, Nicole Puzzi, Helena Ramos, Alvamar Taddei, Rita de Cássia, Mariana Dornic and Christiana Fehrman
Patricia is resigned to not being the main attraction in this scene but is determined to make the most of it anyway. She's brought along Nicole Puzzi as a treat for the boss, while she herself will be paired with the boss's best friend.
It's all good clean fun at first, Patti suggesting a pants-chase game followed by a pillow fight. But it won't stay clean fun for long if this man has his way; he's notorious for his liking for anal sodomy. The way to deal with these tendencies is to clamp down right away. And when a girl like Patti clamps down the poor guy doesn't stand a chance!

with Simone Carvalho, Otávio Augusto, Mário Cardoso, Wilma Dias, Maurício do Valle, Celso Faria, Lady Francisco, Marlene, Cláudio Marzo and Fábio Mássimo
One of her best roles (and worst haircuts), Patricia works in advertising in this semi-serious late period pornochanchada. So it goes with the territory that she's an alcoholic in the habit of allowing random latin hunks to take her back to their hotel rooms. She finds love is so much simpler when she's passed out drunk. I can't help thinking she could have made a better choice of partner this time. Just getting her pants down takes half his strength and all his ingenuity.
But in the second half of the scene he redeems himself somewhat. Unwilling to make love to an unconscious woman he tries one of those 'semi-consensual' things (much in the news nowadays) beginning with a glass of water flung in the lady's face. Hmm.
Skipping a 'talky' scene, to end a great night out the pair have it off in a fountain in downtown Rio just as the first rays of dawn are edging over the horizon. When the gentleman has finished up Patricia is still slitching herself senseless up against the statuary. But Patti sweetheart, ever get the feeling someone is pushing you away with their eyes? Ever got that 'I'm not with you' vibe? Ever wondered, in short, whether it's time to go home? In its way this episode is quite romantic. Oh, and don't miss Patricia's bubble bath scene with Simone Carvalho

Dandy walker syndrome occurs when there are defects in some parts of the brain, particularly the cerebellum and surrounding areas. This condition causes a wide array of problems that can either be inconspicuous or obvious. People affected by this syndrome have difficulties in controlling their movements; coordination of the eyes and muscles; speaking and understanding language. They tend to have defective organs, such as the kidneys, urinary tract and heart, to name a few.
Dandy walker syndrome is present at birth and early diagnosis can significantly improve the chances of survival and normal functioning. This differs from patient to patient, though, as each case is unique and life expectancy is cut short for those who are born with several defects or those individuals suffering from health problems.
Dandy Walker syndrome (DWS) is brought about by an abnormal brain development that caused the cerebellum to become defective or abnormally formed, specifically at the posterior part of the brain. In many of DWS cases, some other parts of the cerebellum are defective as well. The abnormalities observed in the cerebellum that lead to the syndrome involve the following:
- Very small or completely absent cerebellar vermis. This is a worm-shaped tube that connects the two sides of the cerebellum.
- Abnormally large posterior fossa or the small part of the skull that houses the cerebellum and brainstem, due to the presence of cyst.
- Development of cyst in the fluid-filled cavity called fourth ventricle through which fluid coming from the brain passes as it goes to the spinal column.
The exact cause of the syndrome is still unknown. However, extensive research has revealed sufficient information that has helped in the understanding of the nature of the condition.
- Genetic mutations
Mutations in some of the genes of the individuals afflicted with DWS had been observed.
- Chromosomal abnormalities
Studies showed that those with DWS have extra copies of some chromosomes, particularly chromosomes 18, 13, 21 or 9. Moreover, the condition has been found to also occur in people born with one extra copy of all chromosomes in every cell.
The cerebellum or the area of the brain that is involved in movement control, coordination and cognition is the defective part in the case of DWS. Persons affected by DWS will have problems in relation to these neurological functions but at varying degrees. These problems may go unnoticed for some people or be very obvious in others.
Among the problems caused by DWS to include:
Delayed motor development
Babies affected by this syndrome learn to crawl, walk or perform coordinated movements much later than normal babies of their age.
Problems with coordination and movement
There is lack of coordination between muscles resulting in muscle stiffness, unsteadiness, and jerky eye movements. Those afflicted by the condition also seem to be irritable and deal with seizures frequently. Vision and hearing are affected as well.
Cognitive defects
Sufferers experience some measure of intellectual disability which could be mild or severe. These cognitive deficits make it difficult to learn how to speak and understand language.
External and internal malformations
A DWS child has a progressively enlarged skull, causing bigger head circumference. There might likewise be some bulge at the back of the skull. The vast majority of DWS patients have some form of heart defect, abnormal facial appearance, extra fingers or toes, and malformed kidneys or urogenital tract.
Around 80% of DWS cases are detected during the first 12 months of life. Some develop the symptoms later during childhood.
Statistics show that DWS rarely occurs, affecting approximately 1 child out of 25,000 to 30,000 births. It mostly occurs as a result of random events during the early stages of pregnancy. There are no known risk factors for the syndrome but experts believe that certain things can affect the optimum brain development during pregnancy, hence, resulting in DWS. These include:
- Rubella infections
- Toxoplasmosis
- Exposure to teratogens
- Diabetes
Some children inherit the defective gene that causes some of the features of Dander walker syndrome. However, relevant environmental factors should also be present for this to happen.
The treatment for the condition aims to provide some measure of relief by addressing the problems associated with it as well as prevent them from aggravating. For instance, there is a swelling on the back part of the skull due to fluid buildup thus causing intracranial pressure. This is dealt with by draining the fluid through inserting a tube into the skull. The intracranial pressure felt will then be reduced. Other accompanying problems are treated as well, including multiple malformations and organ defects. Meanwhile, specialized education can provide the needed support for intellectual or learning disabilities; speech therapy can help the patient speak and understand speech. A patient affected by Dandy Walker syndrome will also benefit from physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Life Expectancy
The life expectancy of Dandy Walker Syndrome depends on the related conditions caused by the syndrome. So, if a person has a higher degree of deformities and irregularities, the life span could be shorter. The quality of life of a person with a DWS is dependent on medical care, attention and love from people around him or her.

The Courier recently reported on the reopening of The Horns Inn in Churchtown. Here's a taste of things to come.
What do Prince Charles, Jerry Springer and The Spice Girls have in common?
They are just a few of the celebrities to have sampled the culinary delights of chef John Noon, who has been awarded a coveted Michelin star.
John, together with partner Jeni Perrin, have reopened The Horns Inn in Churchtown after a £370,000 refurbishment.
At a reception on Thursday evening they welcomed renowned local food suppliers including Pugh's Piglets, whose work is on the menu of some of the UK's best restaurants, Johnson & Swarbrick, whose Goosnargh ducks are favoured by Michel Roux, and Dewlays cheeses, who have been making award-winning cheese for nearly 60 years.
Guest of honour Nick Kenyon, a third generation owner of Dewlays Cheeses, of Garstang, performed the official opening ceremony.
The pub, on The Avenue, is now open to the public after being closed for two years.
The £370,000 refurbishment has resulted in the creation of 20 jobs, ranging from bar and waiting staff to chefs.
John said he was committed to making sure the restaurant was a 'showcase' for local producers, of which there are many of note.
He said: "Creating exciting food is my passion and something I love to share with customers.
"I've worked at some of the best restaurants in the UK and used some of Lancashire's finest produce along the way.
"To create the top quality dishes you need the very best ingredients.
"We're fortunate that in Lancashire they're here on our doorstep.
"So it is only right and fitting to recognise the provenance of the food we eat and to thank the producers whose hard work goes into making our dishes so special"

What a Stud: DIY this Trend/
Studded clothing is so ubiquitous these days that you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting something shiny. Socks with studs, dresses with studs, blouses with studs -- you name it, it's got a punk attitude. That's why it may finally be a good idea to invest in a stud kit. What's that? It's simply a tool to apply studs to any article of clothing you already own (or would like to buy).
This kit from UK store Spikes and Studs is basic, easy-to-use, and comes with 200 studs to get you on your merry way. This $550 Pierre Balmain studded denim shirt can be yours at a fraction of the price with a quick trip to Forever 21, and this handy dandy tool ($46).
Or perhaps go to town on an old pair of Converse, or add new life to some pieces in your closet that you've grown tired of. The possibilities are endless!

Okay, I'm not a big fan of "Hancock!" From my written review to my TV review, I believe this film is not Will Smith's greatest.
But viewers love Smith, one of Hollywood's most-consistent box-office draws. "Hancock" is his fifth movie to open at No. 1 over the Fourth of July. The others were "Men in Black" and its sequel, "Independence Day" and "Wild Wild West."
It's Will Smith, Mom, apple pie, and the 4th of July!
"Hancock" raised a total of $107.3 million since it opened Tuesday. "WALL-E" came in second with $33.4 million, and "Wanted" landed in third with $20.6 million.

Mister Kiefer hasn't had a hit film in a while. Come to think of it, has he really carried a movie on his own? Well, the film version of "24" is coming out in 2009, and with that hit show's built-in audience, it should be a hit.
But for now, we have to settle with "Mirrors" from director Alexandre Aja (not a whole lot of confidence here, coming from the guy who gave us "P2" and "The Hills Have Eyes"). So I'm thinking, this horror schlock will be a B-movie at best. So we'll see.
The film comes out August 15th, oh and yeah, this is another Korean horror film remake! Here's the premise from IMDB:
Ben Carson (Sutherland), an ex-cop, and his family are the target of an evil force that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.

The vegetative growth and reproductive phenology of filamentous members of the Bangiales from the Strait of Messina, employing both field and culture studies, were investigated with the aim to characterize these populations. The induction of reproductive structures on gametophytes was observed to be under the influence of environmental factors. The temperature and the light intensity strongly influenced the differentiation of carpogonia on female gametophytes, so that these did not develop at high temperatures neither in the field nor in culture and did not develop at high light intensity in culture. The development of spermatangia was not related to any of the culture conditions tested except for the high temperature condition which was lethal for most thalli. In the field, spermatangia were observed from December to July in conditions of both long and short day length and up to a maximum temperature of 18.8°C. Optimal conditions for growth were observed at temperatures between 15 and 21°C, while at higher temperatures (25°C) thalli grew poorly or died. The light intensity did not affect the total growth or the growth rate of gametophytes, while in short day lengths growth rate decreased. Chromosome counts for the gametophytes, measured in vegetative cells, gave n=3.

Despite the proliferation of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), physicians have been slow to adopt them.
Describe changes in the reported effect of CPGs on physicians' clinical practice over the past decade, and identify the practice characteristics associated with those changes.
Longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses of rounds 1–4 of the Community Tracking Study Physician Survey, a nationally representative survey, conducted periodically between 1996 and 2005.
The cross-sectional outcome was the reported effect of CPGs on the physician's practice (very large, large, moderate, small, very small, and no effect). The longitudinal outcome was the change in reported effect of CPGs between two consecutive rounds for panel respondents. Independent variables included changes in physicians' practice characteristics (size, ownership, capitation, availability of information technology (IT) to access guidelines, whether quality measures and profiling affect compensation, and revenue sources).
The proportion of primary care physicians reporting that CPGs had a very large or large effect on their practice increased significantly from 1997 to 2005, from 16.4% to 38.7% (P<.0001). The corresponding change for specialists was 18.9% to 28.2% (P<.0001). In longitudinal multivariate analyses, practice characteristics associated with an increase in effect of CPGs included acquiring IT to access guidelines, an increase in the impact that quality measures and profiling have on compensation, and an increase in the proportion of practice revenue under capitation or derived from Medicaid.
Promotion of wider adoption of health IT, and financial incentives linked to validated quality measures, may facilitate further growth in the impact of CPGs.
The past two decades have seen a proliferation of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) development and dissemination ( http://www.guideline.gov; http://mdm.ca/cpgsnew/cpgs/index.asp); yet, uptake of CPGs among practicing physicians has been slow.1–3 As CPGs are a resource that provide physicians with information on evidence-based management that may improve quality of care, it is useful to better understand which factors are associated with their uptake.
Prior studies have examined barriers to physicians' adherence to CPGs, such as their knowledge and attitudes about CPGs.4–5 There have also been numerous studies of interventions to improve uptake of individual guidelines among particular subgroups of physicians.6–7 The extent to which changes in modifiable characteristics of physicians' practices predict changes in CPG uptake across all types of physicians has received less attention.
We examined whether the reported effect of CPGs has changed over time, and the practice characteristics that might be associated with such change. We hypothesized that having access to practice infrastructure to facilitate the navigation of evidence-based information, as well as financial incentives to meet quality standards, would increase adoption of CPGs. Physicians have an enormous amount of medical evidence that they must navigate and digest, a task that is greatly facilitated by information technology (IT). In addition, prior work has demonstrated that performance-based financial incentives, as well as the very act of measurement, likely increase physicians' awareness of the processes of care being measured.8
Data Source We analyzed data from all four rounds of the Community Tracking Study (CTS) Physician Survey, a telephone survey of nationally representative samples of U.S. physicians conducted in 1996–1997, 1998–1999, 2000–2001, and 2004–2005. The physician sample was drawn from the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association master files and included active, nonfederal, office-based, and hospital-based physicians who spent at least 20 hours a week in direct patient care. Residents and fellows, as well as radiologists, anesthesiologists, and pathologists were excluded.Rounds 1–3 each included approximately 12,000 physicians. Because of funding cuts, round 4 included a smaller, but more statistically efficient and still nationally representative sample of 6,628 physicians. Cross-sectional survey response rates ranged from 52% to 65%, which are relatively high for surveys of physicians, and the lowest of these (52% in round 4) has been demonstrated to not bias estimates relative to the highest response rate of 65% from round 1.9The second, third, and fourth rounds of the survey included physicians sampled in the previous round as well as new physicians. This approach resulted in three panels of physicians, spanning two consecutive rounds each, allowing us to track changes in responses from individual physicians between rounds. To create the first panel, 9,353 of the 12,385 respondents (76%) to the first round were contacted in the second round. Of these, a total of 915 had become ineligible because they had retired, worked fewer than 20 hours per week, or were not locatable. Of these, 7,092 completed the round 2 survey. After excluding those physicians whose specialty changed between rounds or who had missing data for key variables, there were 7,057 remaining in panel 1 for our analysis. Applying a similar process in later rounds resulted in 8,487 physicians in panel 2 (75% response rate) and 4,401 physicians in panel 3 (76% response rate). Item nonresponse for each round was typically less than 3%, and less than 0.1% for our dependent variable. Further details about the survey have been previously published and are available at http://www.hschange.org/index.cgi?data=04.
Outcome Variables Our outcome was the reported effect of CPGs on the physician's practice of medicine. In each round of the survey, physicians were asked: "How large an effect does your use of formal, written practice guidelines such as those generated by physician organizations, insurance companies or HMOs, or government agencies have on your practice of medicine? Would you say that the effect is very large, large, moderate, small, very small, or no effect at all?" These responses were coded on a scale from 6 to 1. (If a physician said that he/she uses his/her own guidelines, then the interviewer would say: "In this question, we are only interested in the use of formal, written guidelines such as those generated by physician organizations, insurance companies or HMOs, or other such groups.)We analyzed the original six-category variable for cross-sectional analyses. For longitudinal analyses, the outcome variable is the "change in effect of guidelines" from one round to the next. We calculated values for this change for panel respondents by taking the difference in reported effect of guidelines for the same respondent in consecutive rounds of the survey, with the resulting value ranging from −5 to +5.
Independent Variables We evaluated the extent to which changes in physicians' practice characteristics were associated with the effect that they reported CPGs had on the care they provided. We considered four types of factors that prior studies have suggested play a role in guideline adoption: (1) the practice environment, (2) relevant IT, (3) exposure to financial incentives based on performance, and (4) revenue sources.Practice environment included practice size (<10 vs 10 or more physicians), practice ownership (physician is full or part owner of practice vs an employee), and percentage of practice revenue paid on a capitated or other prepaid basis. The question on IT addressed the availability of a computer or other forms of IT in the practice to access CPGs. We also asked physicians whether "specific measures of quality of care, such as rates of preventive care services delivered," and "results of practice profiling comparing their pattern of using medical resources to treat patients with that of other physicians" were explicitly considered in determining their compensation. Response options to both compensation items were yes/no.Finally, respondents indicated the percentage of their practice revenue derived from Medicaid and Medicare. Because managed care penetration varies for Medicaid and Medicare populations, we felt it was important to control for these types of insurance in the multivariate models. In 2004, approximately 12% of Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in managed care plans versus 60% of Medicaid enrollees in managed care (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/media/press/release.asp?Counter=1783; http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidManagCare/). Changes in the proportion of revenue from these sources might alter the proportion of one's patient panel under managed care processes and hence influence a practitioner's need to be responsive to CPGs. Whereas the CTS survey has items on specific practice type (physician group practice, hospital practice, group model HMO, etc.) there was little movement of physicians between types of settings from one round to the next, and thus too little variation for this characteristic to be an informative independent variable.We defined independent variables using a set of dummy variables for each practice characteristic, reflecting changes in responses to the relevant survey question between two consecutive rounds, for individual physicians in each panel. For continuous variables (e.g., percentage of revenue from Medicaid), the difference in percentage was calculated. If the difference from the earlier to later round exceeded 5 percentage points, it was categorized as either an increase or decrease depending on its direction; otherwise, the value was categorized as no change. For categorical variables (e.g., availability of IT to access guidelines, Yes/No) the change from earlier to subsequent round was noted as, either an increase (if one gained IT access), a decrease (if one lost IT access), or no change (if one's IT access remained the same) from the first round of the panel to the next.We also characterized physicians in cross-sectional analyses in terms of their age, sex, years in practice, board certification status, medical education (United States/Canada vs elsewhere), and primary specialty. When we distinguish primary care physicians (PCPs) from specialists, the PCP category includes general internal medicine, family practice, general practice, geriatrics, and pediatricians. Specialists include medical or surgical specialists.
Cross-sectional Analysis Because PCPs and specialists may operate under different practice characteristics, face different degrees of pay-for-performance pressures, and be exposed to different numbers of CPGs,10 we stratify analyses by PCP versus specialists. Percentages were weighted to be nationally representative and to account for the complex sample design.
Longitudinal Analyses We used the panel data to construct a first differences model. This allowed us to examine whether changes in practice characteristics were associated with changes in the reported effect of CPGs on physicians' clinical practice over time. These longitudinal analyses have the advantage over cross-sectional analyses of avoiding bias because unobserved physician preferences and characteristics are held constant, with each physician in effect acting as his or her own control. We also included baseline ratings of the "effect of CPGs on one's clinical practice" in the regression model to control for possible bias because of floor and ceiling effects, and the possibility that different physicians may tend to rate the CPG effect more or less highly under similar conditions. Similar baseline indicators were used for the IT variable and the profiling variable to account for the presence of those characteristics at baseline. (A physician who already had IT in the earlier round and kept it in the latter round would be classified as no change as would a physician who lacked IT in both rounds. The inclusion of the baseline indicator variable accounts for the fact that these two subgroups with no change are not equivalent.)Because bivariate relationships between the independent and dependent variables were consistent across the three panels, and to maximize statistical power, we combined all three panels in multivariate analyses. Multivariate ordinary least squares regression allowed us to examine the independent effect of change in each practice characteristic, holding all other factors constant. Whereas we were not powered to run separate change models for PCPs versus specialists, we did include a dummy variable to indicate whether the respondent was a PCP or a specialist. We also controlled for secular trends by including dummy variables indicating each panel. All analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.1 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC, USA) and SUDAAN version 9.0 analytic software (Research Triangle Park, NC, USA), which used the appropriate weights and accounted for the complex sample design as well as for the nonindependence of observations when the same physician was included in multiple panels.
Trends in Reported Effect of CPGs on Practice Table 1 displays the characteristics of the physician sample for all four rounds of the survey. The percentage of physicians who are female increased significantly each round. The percentage of physicians who are medical specialists increased each round, whereas the percentages who are surgeons or psychiatrists decreased. Among PCPs, there was a consistent decrease in the proportion educated in the United State/Canada with each subsequent round. Among PCPs, the percentage reporting that CPGs had a very large or large effect increased significantly in both round 3 (2000–2001) and round 4 (2004–2005) compared to round 1 (1996–1997) (Fig. 1). This increase was also significant among specialists, but the overall proportion of specialists reporting a very large/large effect was smaller (Fig. 2). As of 2005, 28% of PCPs and 41% of specialists still reported a small to no effect of CPGs on their clinical practice. In cross-sectional analyses of round 4 (2004–2005), those reporting a small to no effect of CPGs were more likely to be in practice for more than 10 years, be surgeons, lack access to IT, and to not have their compensation affected by either quality measures or by profiling (data not shown). Table 2 presents the changes in effect of CPGs for each of the panels, categorized into increased effect, no change, or decreased effect. Overall, 40% of PCPs and 40% of specialists experienced an increase in the effect of CPGs on their practice from 2001 to 2005.
Predictors of Increased CPG Effect on Clinical Practice The practice characteristics most strongly associated with an increase in the effect of CPGs on practice were increased exposure to capitation, increased access to IT, increased impact of quality measures and profiling on compensation, and to a lesser extent, increased proportion of Medicaid revenue (Table 3). Each of these practice characteristics was independently associated with a greater reported effect of guidelines, controlling for all other practice and physician characteristics. An increase in the percentage of a practice's capitated revenue was associated with an increase in the reported effect of CPGs (P<.001). A much smaller but significant association was present between a decreased percentage of capitated revenue and an increase in the reported effect of CPGs. Gaining IT as a means for accessing guidelines was also associated with an increase in reported effect of CPGs (P<.001).Physicians whose compensation was affected by performance on quality measures experienced an increase in effect of CPGs on their clinical practice (P=012). Physicians for whom profiling began to be used to determine part of one's compensation also had an increase in the reported effect of CPGs (P<.001). Consistent with this, a decreased impact of profiling on compensation was associated with a decreased reported effect of CPGs (P<.001).An increase in the percentage of revenue from Medicaid was associated with an increase in the effect of CPGs (P<.001). Changes in proportion of revenue from Medicare were not associated with CPG effect. We also observed a significant secular trend in the increase in CPG effect over time (Table 3).
The proportion of physicians reporting that CPGs had a substantial effect on their practice has increased significantly in recent years, likely reflecting the proliferation of new guidelines (http://www.guideline.gov; http://mdm.ca/cpgsnew/cpgs/index.asp) and increasing pressures on physicians to invest in infrastructure and activities to systematically improve the quality of care. We found that PCPs were more likely than medical or surgical specialists to report that CPGs had a substantial effect on their practice. We observed, however, that the strongest associations with increased impact of guidelines were with practice-level factors. Specifically, increased adoption of IT to access guidelines, greater exposure to capitation, exposure to quality performance and profiling-based compensation, and a higher proportion of practice revenue derived from Medicaid were all associated with an increased effect of CPGs.
Primary care physicians were more likely than medical or surgical specialists to report that CPGs had a substantial effect on their practice. This difference may be due in part to the larger number of CPGs relevant to primary care, which encompasses a broad range of acute and chronic conditions and preventive services.10 For similar reasons, PCPs have had greater exposure than specialists to quality measurement and performance-based incentives, which we found were also associated with reporting a high impact of CPGs.11
An increase in the percentage of practice revenue under capitation was associated with an increase in the reported effect of CPGs. Whereas the percentage of physicians in practices having capitated contracts with health plans dropped from 62% to 50% between 1999 and 2001; since 2001, the use of capitated contracts has remained steady.11 Capitation may be associated with reports of a substantial effect of CPGs because health plans using capitation have for years also imposed quality-based reporting and incentives to counteract the anti-quality incentives to reduce services to patients. In addition, practices must achieve a certain size and organizational capacity to assume risk. This larger size involves the capacity to measure the performance of physicians, making it relatively simple to compare physicians' treatment patterns with CPGs.
We also found that physicians who were newly exposed to compensation based on performance on quality measures and profiling were more likely to report increases in the effect of CPGs. This finding may reflect either the motivating influence of financial incentives to more fully adopt care recommendations, or the isolated effect of quality measurement, which in itself may increase their awareness of, and attention to, guidelines.12,13 From 2001 to 2005, the proportion of physicians in group practice whose compensation was based in part on quality measures increased from 17% to 20%. Financial incentives tied to physicians' individual productivity are much more prevalent and have consistently affected 70% of physicians in non-solo practice since 1996.11
There were two seemingly counterintuitive findings that deserve comment. We found that decreased exposure to capitation and (although only marginally significant) the loss of quality measures as a factor used in their compensation were associated with a small increase in effect of CPGs. These results suggest the possibility that once in an environment that promotes the use of CPGs, physicians grow to accept their validity and usefulness, such that the influence of CPGs on their treatment patterns continue to grow even in the absence of external incentives.
The observed association between increases in the proportion of revenue from Medicaid and increases in the reported effect of CPGs is intuitive; it likely reflects the confluence of several trends affecting Medicaid patients. In particular, the heavy penetration of managed care plans in Medicaid, and efforts by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have both promoted adoption of CPGs and performance measurement. During the time period we studied, care for Medicaid patients became increasingly concentrated in larger groups and institution-based practices.14 Such providers may have more resources and infrastructure to support incorporation of guidelines into routine care through IT and quality improvement efforts.15
We identified a consistent association over time between gaining IT access to CPGs and an increase in the reported effect of CPGs on one's clinical practice. The use of IT to access guidelines increased among all physician specialties and practice types between 2001 and 2005.16 Given the multitude of scientific studies that physicians must navigate, having computerized access to guidelines in the office setting may help them to synthesize the evidence base.
We acknowledge several study limitations. Physicians tend to overreport their adherence to CPGs;17 however, it is unlikely that there was a differential bias in this among individual physicians across different survey rounds or categories of practice characteristics. And we cannot ascertain whether physicians' reports that CPGs have a substantial effect on their practice necessarily indicate that they have adopted the recommendations. It is also important to be mindful that current quality and cost measurement techniques, such as profiling, fail to capture many aspects of quality of medical care.18 Much of what physicians do is neither observed nor easily measurable; and, in the care of older patients with multiple comorbidities, strict adherence to CPGs may not always be appropriate.18–22 Nonetheless, CPGs are an important tool. A recent study of physician leaders in large multispecialty medical groups identified the use of evidence-based medicine as one of the most important organizational factors for quality improvement.23
Despite the recent expansion in the proportion of U.S. physicians who report that CPGs affect the care they provide, a substantial minority still report that CPGs have little to no impact on their care. Our findings suggest that promotion of wider adoption of health IT and financial incentives tied to valid measures of clinical and cost performance may facilitate further growth in the impact of formal guidelines as an important lever for improving the quality of patient care.

Hey, ladies - My name is Anna & I'm from Rockford, IL. I was a good friend of Julie Jar - if any of you remember her - and I met some of you oldies in LasVegas with her. Well... here's my story. Went for a yearly mammogram and the doctor called and wanted additional views and a ultrasound. I went for those today. Turns out I have a "nodule" that the radiologist said is a "fluid filled cyst - nothing to worry about"... Well... that's what Julie's doctor told her. When I questioned him about why he was so certian and just how certian was he?, he said 99.9% positive. There was nothing "in" the nodule and it had a whitish edge which was indicative of a fluid filled cyst. When I asked him he he wanted to aspirate it to be sure he said that he didn't think it was necessary. When I asked him when we should repeat the mammo, he said "in one year".
Needless to say, it was good news but... at the same time I don't want to be naive or stupid. What do you all think? Should I get a second opinion? Would you insist on a needle aspiration? I don't want to be a turd but I don't want to be stupid either. I will welcome and listen to your opinions. I never wanted to need this board but you are the first place I thought of for answers and direction.
Not panicing but cautious - Anna

There's still over a month of school left to enjoy! Let's keep going strong!
This Week in Physics
For Tuesday please take notes on PODCAST 3: Electric Fields. We'll go over this in class and will then do assignment 3 (followed by a quiz, as announced) and the Electric Fields Lab. When announced please take notes on PODCAST 4: Electric Potential Energy, Electric Potential, and Potential Difference.
Cool Science of the Week
Did you know plants have their own internet? Thin threadlike fungi that grow underground connect the roots of multiple plants, sometimes over vast distances, and allow the plants to send each other nutrients as well as warning signals. Weak seedlings are helped to survive by the shared nutrients, and plants that receive warnings of impending diseases or pests begin early immune responses to protect themselves.

The Bells of Balangiga…are church bells of the Parish of Balangiga in the Philippines but now displayed on the grounds of F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. How did the bells get there?
Well, in a nutshell, during the Philippine-American War (1901), in the town of Balangiga, located some 400 miles south of Manila, the bells were used by Filipino insurgents to signal a surprise attack on an American garrison in that town that left about 50 Us soldiers dead. This incident led to reprisals, one of which is the razing of several Catholic churches in the area and the confiscation of the Bells of Balangiga…as trophies of war.
For some Americans, the bells, aside from being trophies of war, serve as a memorial for the American soldiers who died from that incident. Thus, the bells are to remain in the possession of US and never to be returned.
Numerous petitions were made to get the bells back to where they really belong, which is the Diocese of Borongan where the Parish of Balangiga is, but it seems that the tragedy of that event has a much heavier weight than the purpose of usage and legitimacy of possession.
Please do not get me wrong. I am a Filipino living here in America and my heart goes to those who suffered a tragic death. I do not know how many Filipino casualties there were but it is enough for me to grieve knowing that there are at least 5O human lives lost. Be that as it may, whether for an American or Filipino, that fateful encounter proved that war, which is not always inevitable, is something that has nothing good to offer but an open door for death. And even a century after, the ghost of that war remains to continue to hunt and divide. But then again, this is not about patriotism or whose side do we belong, just simply on the matter of who own the bells and how the bells are to be used.
Provided the fact that they were used to signal an attack that fateful incident, whether with the knowledge or cooperation of the parish priest or not, the act of the priest, if he is guilty of such, should not fault the real owner of the bells nor does the act entitles the victor to deprive the real owner of the bells of his rights to the property, which is the Bishop of the Diocese then, and now the Most Rev. Leonardo Y. Medroso, D.D., who by the way, have nothing to do with the incident.
I couldnt agree more when Bishop Leonardo Medroso of the Diocese of Borongan said, "The bells of Balangiga, if they remain there, will always be a reminder of that fateful encounter and therefore fuels grudges and hatred. Let us do away with grudges and hatred. Return the bells to Balangiga. We will use them to call people to prayer."
Please join me in prayers that the bells may toll again in the Philippine soil, that they may serve the people by reminding them of the merciful and loving God than the pain and casualties of war.

Thanksgiving - and Lots of Snow!
Tomorrow will find us eating traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Alfano's at the Quail, which used to be one of the safe houses of the Underground Railroad. I'm excited about being in a place that was used to house slaves on their way to being free. John and Suzan said it's amazing, and they were very humbled. I'm sure we will be, as well.
Friday will find me with ThatManILove, going back to the Pennsylvania oilfield for another three days, and then we're driving home together. I'm excited about that, too – I've not seen this part of our United States! It will be a good time for us to be together, debrief, and just spend time with each other.
Our sons are healthy, safe and sound. Bob and Cherie are housesitting and keeping Zanna the Wonder Pup company. Zack the Wonder Dog is at Andy's, hunting daily and thriving. We'll be more than ready to see all of our family, both personal and extended, by the time we get home.
Speaking of seeing family, by the time we arrive back in Midland, Younger Son will have departed the country for his second trip to Haiti in three months. He will be working in an orphanage over there, and will return right before Christmas. He has fallen in love with the kids over there, and the people. If you think about it, pray for him as he embarks on this trek.
We've much for which to be thankful – and thankful, we are. And I am thankful for you, my patient and enduring readers. You daily make me smile, laugh, cry, and oftentimes, spew whatever I'm drinking through my nose onto my computer screen. Stop that, you hear? My IT guy just doesn't get it, and he's getting tired of fixing my stuff!
God bless you each and every one during this holiday season.

Karen gave me your blog address. I spent three and a half years in Haiti teaching missionary kids when I was a young thing. The country does work its way into your heart. One is never the same after experiencing it.
I'm so glad that your son has fallen in love with the kids there. They're great.
Do you have any Haitians in your area of Texas? We have lots here. We have a Haitian church that meets at our church. I love to chat with the folks when I get a chance.
I just bought a scanner to be able to put my slides on the computer. Hopefully I'll have some posts up soon. I can hardly wait to see the pictures again myself. :-)

When Odelay dropped in 1996, it was, as comedian Steven Wright once quipped, so far ahead of its time nobody was there yet. With its seamless juxtapositon of wry folk and geeky soul, nods to Sonic Youth noise and Afrika Bambaataa electro (thanks to the Dust Brothers' wicked beat pastiches), Odelay was mash-up before the likes of the Go! Team and loads of English bands would do the same in the decade following.
Odelay-Deluxe Edition is a very different album, expanded to two discs by remixes and B-sides that make Beck's brand of slacker soul and kitschy funk just one side of a deeper artist busting with potential, a Badly Drawn Boy eager to work from a wider color palette. Hits such as "Devil's Haircut" and "New Pollution" hold up well, even if the songwriting-over-the-hip-hop undercarriage makes Beck here seem like a thinking man's Kid Rock.
The B-sides and extras show Beck working from the parts of his sum. There are the Kid606 IDM freakouts of "Gold Chains" and a lot of noisy beat/distorted vocal also-rans. But in the bluesy folk of B-sides such as "Feather in Your Cap" and "Brother," you can hear the Beck who would return to the studio, skipper's hat in hand six years later, inspired by a broken heart to make the murky, meaningful Sea Change.

Odelay's greatest compliment comes from Beck himself, who's tried hard to match its sense of fun and purpose ever since. He'd veer too far into stylized sleaze with Midnite Vultures and jock Jack White for the forced-sounding Guero before getting the balance right with 2006's The Information. On the latter disc, Beck achieved what he did best on Odelay: kickin' a beat, strummin' a tune, and not taking himself too seriously. If the heart ain't broke, don't sound like you're trying to fix it.

Lee Sin Build Guide by Akagami

Build 1
Lee Sin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello mobafire, im Akagami. It's my first guide, i hope you will enjoy^^
Lee Sin has been consistently a strong force within the jungle since his ratios got a big buff, thanks to that, his ability to build tanky while doing heavy damage has allowed him to be one of the strongest junglers. Due to his ability set and design, he is easily one of my favorite champions to play due to how mobile and fluid his playstyle is. So this guide will show how to jungle Lee Sin as well as gank and counter jungle.
I use these masteries as Lee is a energy based champion, he doesn't use the Utility tree that well so I focus on raw damage from the offense tree as I'll be getting defensive items later anyway. Virtually every mastery in the Offense tree is very helpful for Lee Sin as it gives hefty early bonuses to Lee Sin as his skillset contains high AD ratios and base stats.
I get the 9 in defense to be slightly more durable as the 9 points aren't as useful in utility. I find that the health per level and at the start is very useful throughout the game.
These runes are optimized towards having most of my offensive stats ready from level 1, having the ability to do 70+ damage from level 1 is significant as it allows Lee Sin to perform stronger ganks or duel an opposing jungler with ease due to the fact their AD ratios aren't as good. The mix between 5 armor penetration and 12~ AD is the balance I found that is most useful to me as it allows me to do true damage to most of the small camps while still doing significant damage to the larger camps. I found that going all the way one direction would result in a slower jungle than doing a mix up of the two stats.
Glyphs are choice, personally I like having a ton of magic resist later in the game as thhere aren't many other cost effective runes for the glyph slot for lee sin aside from magic resist.
Here i use:
Smite and Barrier
Smite is good, for using to get red buff/blue buff. Or to kill solo Dragon/Baron.
With my build items, you can solo Dragon/Baron :P
I think all know what is barrier. It's good for escape.
Flurry Passive:Flurry
After Lee Sin uses an ability, his next 2 basic attacks gain 50% Attack Speed and return 10 energy each.
A reason you don't need attack speed runes, this skill is very strong as it gives a constant attack speed boost in fights as well as replenishing energy. In the jungle time your hits so you can get both procs of this off and then instantly perform another move to constantly be able to have high energy in case you need it. This passive honestly makes or breaks this champion due to the fact unlike Shen, it allows him to regain energy quickly in fights.
Sonic Wave Q: Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike
Sonic Wave: Lee Sin projects a discordant wave of sound to locate his enemies, dealing 50/80/110/140/170 (+90% of bonus Attack Damage) physical damage to the first enemy it encounters. If Sonic Wave hits, Lee Sin can cast Resonating Strike for the next 3 seconds.
Resonating Strike: Lee Sin dashes to the enemy hit by Sonic Wave, dealing 50/80/110/140/170 (+90% of bonus Attack Damage) physical damage plus 10% of their missing health.
Cost 50/30 energy
Cooldown 11/10/9/8/7 seconds
One of the highest damaging skills in the entire game, this skill acts as a closer and a very powerful nuke. Due to the fact it's AD ratio is high, landing both ticks of this skill early game will likely do more damage than any other nuke early levels which means it'll allow Lee to beat opponents that aren't well armored with ease. The only downside to this spell is that it's a skillshot and may end up missing or hitting a target that jumped in front of the projectile, be very cautious about jumping in with this skill as if the opponent flashes, you'll be dragged to that location which could mean death unless you can W to escape.
Safeguard W: Safeguard/Iron Will
Safeguard: Lee Sin rushes towards a target ally, shielding them both from 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 (+80% per Ability Power) damage. After using Safeguard, Lee Sin can cast Iron Will for the next 3 seconds.
Iron Will: Lee Sin's intense training allows him to thrive in battle. For 5 seconds, Lee Sin gains5/10/15/20/25 lifesteal, spell vamp, and armor.
Cost 50/30 energy
Cooldown 8 seconds
Range 700
A strong escape and defensive spell, this allows him to crush opponents early as they cannot keep up with the extra armor and lifesteal when Iron Will is active. Proper usage of this will allow Lee Sin to stay healthy against Dragon or heal up after being harmed badly in a skirmish. Using smite with Iron Will active will also net a very nice heal bonus so it is recommended that this be active when you're about to smite in order to stay healthy. The escape portion of this spell allows jumping to wards or allies if you manage to find yourself in a spot you don't want to be in. This is also useful for chasing as it's jump is faster than walking which means you'll be able to catch up to someone if you have a ward or ally near the target's location.
Tempest E: Tempest / Cripple
Tempest: Lee Sin smashes the ground sending out a shockwave that deals 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+0.6 per bonus Attack Damage) magic damage and reveals enemy units hit. If Tempest hits an enemy, Lee Sin can cast cripple for the next 3 seconds.
Cripple: Lee Sin cripples nearby enemies revealed by Tempest, reducing their Movement and Attack Speed by 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60 % for 4 seconds. Movement and Attack Speed recover gradually over the duration.
Cost 50/30 energy
Cooldown 10 seconds
Range 450
The exahust qualities of this spell cannot be underestimated, landing this on a group of opponents can often decide the game as it's basically snowballing each of the targets for 4 seconds. This spell early on when combined with Lee Sin's Q allows for huge ganks due to the high damage of Q and the crippling slow that Cripple provides. Add in vision against invisible targets and this skill allows Lee Sin to gank nearly every lane.
Dragon's Rage R: Dragon's Rage
Lee Sin performs a powerful roundhouse kick launching his target back, dealing 200 / 400 / 600 (+1.5 per bonus Attack Damage) physical damage to the target and any enemies they collide with. Enemies the target collides with are knocked into the air for a short duration.
Cost 0 energy
Cooldown 90 / 75 / 60 seconds
There are quite a few ways to use this skill, you can push someone back into your team for a quick kill, you can push a initiator back to avoid having your team being engaged on or you can try to line up a kick which will do the most damage possible. Due to the flexibility of the skill and the low cooldown, it is a significant part of Lee Sin's arsenal. A good trick in a 1v1 duel is to Q someone and follow up with this and then perform Q after he has been kicked to do maximum damage and follow the knocked back target.

The special fund is to be utilised to ensure safety of women.
A total of Rs 1,000 crore has been allocated towards the fund. The fund is named in honour of the 23-year-old paramedical student who died in the brutal gang-rape in the national capital on Dec 16, 2012.
The memories of the horrific episode is still fresh in the minds of people. The brutal gang-rape and murder witnessed large-scale protests across the country.
The country is asking for strict laws to end sexual assault against women.The Bill on sexual violence against women will come up in the Parliament soon.
Chidambaram's announcement has been welcomed by all.
"It is a good step. Hope the fund will ensure that women are provided more safety within and outside their homes. But, at the same time, government should ensure that there is a change in mindset of people to cut down on crime against women," said Monobina Sharma, a copywriter with an advertising agency in Bangalore.
However, details of how the fund would be utilised is not yet known.
