|Real Madrid are 22/1 with BetVictor to beat Galatasaray 4-0
Madrid will have to do without midfielder Xabi Alonso, who remains on the sidelines with a broken foot, while Ancelotti has confirmed that Iker Casillas will start his first game of the season having been displaced by Diego Lopez in La Liga.
Galatasaray ended their 12-match winless streak against Spanish opposition when they played Madrid in the quarter-finals last season, as they recorded a 3-2 home victory that ultimately proved in vain as Jose Mourinho's men progressed 5-3 on aggregate.
With Cristiano Ronaldo on a run of 21 goals in his previous 19 Champions League matches, the Turkish side face a tough challenge in securing a repeat success.
Yet Galatasaray do boast a fine recent record in Istanbul, losing only two of their last 14 home European matches.

Therapeutic Respite: Respite is an opportunity for the child to spend some time away from the parents and the family. Having the child at Gio's Garden for a few hours a week, helps to start transition the child into a pre-school or school setting so that it is not the first time the child is away from mom or dad. It is also a great opportunity for parents to take care of the things they need to do, such as run errands, spend time with the other children in the family, rest, read a book, visit with a friend, attend any appointments, have date night and to get things done that need to be done. Families can have a worry free morning, afternoon, or evening knowing that their child is in good hands, having fun, and making progress towards their goals.
Eligibility: Children who are eligible for Gio's Garden services include those children who are under the age of seven and have significant developmental or physical delays, but are not able to receive respite care services from other organizations. This may happen because the child is on a waiting list for funding, a child does not yet have an official diagnosis or a family is not receiving the amount of respite care that they need. If a child is seeing someone for a delay of some sort, they may be eligible (this includes receiving birth to three or any other therapist).
State Licensed: Gio's Garden is licensed by the State of Wisconsin's Department of Children and Families as a Family Child Care Center to care for up to 8 children at any one time in our fun, home-like group setting that encourages growth through play and socialization. This means that our staff and the Gio's Garden house have gone through a rigorous screening, training, and approval process, and are monitored for continued adherence to specific State childcare licensure rules and regulations.

The Jeep Wrangler is the Daddy of all off-roaders. There are many who still claim that it is the original and the best; and who could argue with them? It is a red-blooded off-roader and won't let you think it is anything else.
Great, simple off-road design, fashionable, reliable.
Circular head lamps
[tab name="Looks"]
The 2014 Jeep Wrangler looks every bit the off-roader it is supposed to be. Square and chunky, its structural reinforcements are as clear to see as the colour. However, all is not rosy; when will Jeep start building the Wrangler with square headlamps again? The round ones just look wrong; they make it look surprised.
[tab name="Feels"]
The interior is surprisingly stylish, with its overwhelming, upright dash being complemented by a selection of strategic, circular vents and knobs. There is nothing chintzy about it at all, which was always the danger when the car began to appeal to "young and trendy" classes. No, this car remains true to its off-road fan-base, and that shows inside as much as outside.
[tab name="Engineering"]
This is the ultimate off-roader, yet the toys have been kept to a minimum. It comes with a part-time transfer case, so you only need to select 4WD when you actually need it, which will help with fuel economy. Otherwise you get a compass and a trip metre, and not much else. It's perfect for the purists.
[tab name="On offer"]
The Wrangler comes with a 3.6 litre V6 in its normal guise, and the same engine is on offer in the Wrangler Unlimited. The latter, which is a larger version, comes with additional off-road systems designed on improving comfort. You can join the Wrangler club for AED 121,999, and the price ceiling is around AED 197,000.
[tab name="Verdict"]
Go forth and spread the word that if you are in any way serious about your off-roading, then you need a Wrangler. It is a living legend in its own right and is as quirky and fun to drive on the road as it is over the desert. The only negative are those circular head lamps, once they're square, then this car will be perfect!

Before Corazon Aquino announced her candidacy to run for president, she promised the people that she will give the "land to the tiller." This "land" is commonly known as the Hacienda Luisita which is a 6,435-hectare plantation estate located in Tarlac, Philippines, owned by the Cojuangco family.
Land reform was one of the pillars of her campaign. When she won the presidency, the people waited for that huge land to be divided and distributed to the farmers.
But when she stepped down from the presidency, their land in Tarlac was still intact and the Aquino-Cojuangco family still has full control of the plantation, until today.
When people protested on November 16, 2004, at least seven protesting farmers were killed in a clash with police and military personnel.
Today, the Hacienda has become a symbol of the failure of the Aquino's to put substance to their words.
Now, the front-runner in the Philippine presidential election, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aguino III, is once again promising to transfer their land to the farmers if he becomes president. "It will be theirs clear and free," Sen. Aquino said in one of his interviews.
In a recent article published by the New York times, Aquino's cousin, Fernando Aquino said that the family will never give up the Hacienda to the farmers. Ever.
Mr. Aquino's cousin, Fernando Cojuangco, the chief operating officer of the holding company that owns the plantation, said that the extended Cojuangco family, owners of this plantation since 1958, had no intention of giving up the land or the sugar business.
"No, we're not going to," Mr. Cojuangco, 47, said in an interview here. "I think it would be irresponsible because I feel that continuing what we have here is the way to go. Sugar farming has to be; it's the kind of business that has to be done plantation-style."
He dismissed the widely held view that Mrs. Aquino, his aunt, had made land reform a centerpiece of her government.
"Is there a document that it was a centerpiece? I always asked that question even to her ex-cabinet members. Was there a cabinet meeting where she said this is the centerpiece?" –The New York Times
Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III responded to the New York Times article written by Norimitsu Onishi by saying:
The New York Times unfairly misquoted my cousin by saying that the Cojuangco family had unanimously decided on drastic changes in the operation of Hacienda Luisita. – Philippine Daily Inquirer
At this point, who should we believe? A Presidential candidate who stated in a public forum a couple of months ago that he never lie, or an international Journalist who has nothing to gain from this election?
Yesterday, the Philippine Daily Inquirer published a response from the New York times stating that the news giant will stand by their report, and they have the tape to prove it.
The New York Times (NYT) stood pat on the accuracy and fairness of its story quoting a cousin of Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III that the Cojuangcos had no intention of giving up Hacienda Luisita for distribution to the farmers under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program.
Carlos Conde, the NYT correspondent in the country, said that the paper was ready to release the tape recording of the interview with Fernando Cojuangco, Aquino's cousin that happened late last month at the sugar plantation.
"We stand by our story. The interview with Mr. Fernando Cojuangco was recorded. If he wants us to release the tape, we will be more than happy to do so," said Conde, who added that he had been authorized to speak on the matter. –The Philippine Daily Inquirer
I don't know why Noynoy is leading this race. I don't why people are clamoring for him to become president of the country. Is it because of his mother? Is it because of his father? I really don't know.
The Cojuangco's and the Aquino's has been in the public arena for more than a hundred years. But still, they haven't done anything to improve the lives of their constituencies. Their businesses continues to flourish, while the people under them continues to suffer.

O'Reilly has had tremendous run. Very few in the business get to decide when and how things end. Media is most brutal of all industries…
Bill O'Reilly has been on Fox News since 1996, as the host of the political commentary program The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. Previously O'Reilly worked as a news reporter for various local television stations including CBS and ABC News. He also has been an anchor of the Inside Edition.
The "O'Reilly Factor" has had a large following – almost 3 – 4 million viewers a night. Due to that following, O'Reilly has been in demand for speaking engagements and has received handsome funds because of it. O'Reilly has also been an author to several best-selling books, including "Killing Reagan", "Killing Patton", "Killing Jesus", "Killing Lincoln" and many others. Could his next book be "Killing O'Reilly"?
In simple terms, O'Reilly has generated a lot of revenue for the Fox News Channel. And his ratings have remained remained in the stratosphere. The O'Reilly Factor" is by far the highest-rated program on cable news. But most of O'Reilly's advertisers abandoned the show in the wake of the recent allegations and the Times' story. Now, Fox has made it official – O'Reilly is OUT!
H/T Fox News:
Fox News is cutting ties with Bill O'Reilly, the biggest star in its 20-year history, after mounting allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior prompted the network to end his program.
Today's decision seemed unimaginable a few short weeks ago, given O'Reilly's long reign as the top-rated host in cable news.
But the climate shifted dramatically after The New York Times reported on April 1 that O'Reilly or Fox had paid $13 million to settle five cases against him alleging sexual or other harassment. More than 50 advertisers withdrew from his prime-time show, and 21st Century Fox asked a law firm to investigate a complaint from a woman who said O'Reilly dropped efforts to make her a contributor in 2013 after she turned down his invitation to visit his hotel room.
O'Reilly, 67, had not commented on his status since leaving on vacation last week—he met Pope Francis today in a VIP line at the Vatican—but his lawyer issued a blistering statement yesterday accusing his liberal opponents of a "smear campaign." The statement said O'Reilly "has been subjected to a brutal campaign of character assassination that is unprecedented in post-McCarthyist America."
Starting Monday, Fox will air Tucker Carlson's show an hour earlier, in O'Reilly's 8 p.m. ET slot, and move the popular ensemble show "The Five" from 5 to 9 p.m. On May 1, "Five" member Eric Bolling will debut a one-hour program at 5 p.m., and Martha MacCallum will make her "First 100 Days" show permanent at 7 p.m.
O'Reilly's departure comes nine months after Fox News founder Roger Ailes was forced out as chairman following a sexual harassment lawsuit by former host Gretchen Carlson and allegations by at least a half-dozen women, all of which he denied. One of them was Megyn Kelly, who also clashed with O'Reilly and who decided to leave Fox for NBC last December.
The net result is not just a transformation of Fox's prime-time lineup, which has trounced the cable competition, but an effort by Rupert Murdoch and his sons, James and Lachlan, to change the company's culture and make clear that harassment is unacceptable. That became increasingly difficult, and spawned resentment among some female staffers, as O'Reilly's problems became a dominant news story.
It's too bad that O'Reilly was hit with all these sexual harassment allegations. Fox News viewers will miss him, but they will move on. It's certainly been a bumping road at Fox in the last year or so, but the news was not a total suprise.
A cryptic tweet from Matt Drudge — who rarely uses his social media account — seemed to imply he knew that O'Reilly was finished.
O'Reilly is the third major player to leave the network in the span of nine months. Ailes' resignation last July was the result of sexual harassment charges by women at the network, including Megyn Kelly, who herself left Fox in January. O'Reilly defended Ailes when the women first came forward.
it is not clear if Fox will allow him back on the air, even to do a sign-off to his faithful audience, which averages over 3 million viewers per night.
The top-rated host recently signed a multi-year contract worth a reported $20 million per year, which means Fox could have a large pay out a pretty hefty amount.
O'Reilly is on vacation in Italy since last week. Looks like Bill can enjoy the vacation a little bit longer now.

Unanswered: sql, rst with no record.
Hi everyone.
I have these lines of sql code populating serveral recordsets.
sqlMastLine = (Nz("select * from Mast_Detail_Line, QuoteMast where cstr(Mast_Detail_Line.Quote_Detail_ID) =" + CStr(strDetail) + " AND Mast_Detail_Line.Mast_ID = QuoteMast.ID"))
several similar lines.
Then i have loops that will write the recordset data to a word document, but the loops through out errors if the resordset has no data in it!
How can i get around this, so it just misses the loop.
Im using "DO While not rstMachine.EOF" loops. i get an error telling me that the EOF or BOF condition is true and it request a current record. Is there another way i can perform this.
If Im not very clear just ask for more information. ALways keen to share.
Thanks for your help everyone.Nerdy Girl

The serious look in his eyes always has a twinkle to it. His manner radiates a sense of calmness and contentment, something most people spend their whole lives searching for. Maybe it's because of the life he lives in the mountains. Maybe it's the skiing. Or that he starts each day with green tea and yoga? Hoping to discover the source of a balanced and happy life I had a chat with the professional ski bum as he calls himself, Bruno Compagnet.
"I have a dream of buying a Volkswagen Combi van. Paint it black and live in it during the winter. I don't have to go far, but this would enable me to drive around the Alps, moving where the snow is good. It's the symbol of freedom, says Bruno with a serious face. "
Freedom is a serious subject for him. It's important. Bruno decided early on that he would live his life in the mountains. With the mountains. Of the mountains. He was never really interested in school, and as soon as he was given the opportunity he packed up his two pairs of skis and left in a car for the capital of freeriding: Chamonix. With his rasta hair and his unique style of skiing; following the rough terrain with smooth moves, it didn't take long before he was a well-known face among skiers. I met like-minded people and skiers I'd been looking up to my whole life. This is where I found my path in life.
He participated in competitions, he won, and he got recognition as one of the best. It wasn't enough.
"I must be free and live in the mountains, says Bruno, that's my motivation. I continue to do stuff on my own premises which are how I find joy in what I do."
More skiers started coming to Chamonix, and the mountains previously untouched by skis slowly turned into crowded areas. Bruno has never been one for the crowds, and after a while he moved to the Dolomites to find a place where he was sure there would be more mountains then skiers. He found both tranquility and the start of a family life here.
He awakes early. Spends 10-15 minutes stretching and practicing yoga before he reaches for his cup of green tea and a small breakfast. He checks the weather, calls friends, packs his backpack with hot water and is pretty soon out the door skinning up a mountain side. This is a normal day for Bruno from October to June. This is how he loves to live his life. There's the recipe, I think to myself, but then I realize it's not that simple when I ask him about his favorite place to ski and the answer is: "a new mountain". So I think to myself; one needs more than the everyday routine, even though the routine itself is next to perfect.
"My days vary; skiing often takes me to new places. My biggest moments are when I ski a completely new line that requires all of my knowledge about mountain and snow safety. And demands my full attention and precision. That's when I fully live in the moment. "
When Bruno skis he often skis steep. Over 45 degrees and often very exposed faces. That's what's called steep skiing. The consequence of a fall could be fatal.
Has your skiing changed after you became a father? Are you more cautious?
"Sometimes I feel egocentric since I still ski so much, at the same time this is my job. Other people don't quit their jobs when they have children. When it comes to steep skiing all of the energy is concentrated on staying on your feet. Father or no father, you can't fall"
In other words he has no plans of quitting quite yet.
"I'm 45 years old and I don't possess the same strength as I used to. When it comes to steep skiing though it's an advantage to ski slower and work on the perfect technique. Where I used to take bold chances I now take well-considered choices."
He's sitting by the window with a cup of black coffee in his hands, starring out at the latest contribution to the camp, a black hawk with an orange beak. The bird has been hanging around the simple cabin the last couple of days. A free soul might seek a like-minded soul, regardless of the existing physical form. Together with Ruben, the best (read: only) snow scooter driver in Venezuela, potentially the best chef of Venezuela, Suami, Canadian photographer Kari Medig and filmer Nikolai Schirmer from Norway, Bruno has pitched his tent outside the little cabin that serves as a base camp for everyone headed into the mountains of Patagonia. He has left the summer in Europe behind, to meet up with king winter half way. Patagonia is a place of contrasts. The climate differences are accentuated by Bruno's bare feet and ski gear combo. There is no snow down here. You can see the smoke from the chimney. It's not summer. But to find winter they have to go higher.
A lot of skiers spend their summers longing for winter and preparing for the skiing season. Bruno utilizes the many possibilities of the mountains just as much during the summertime as during the winter. He skis at least 5 days a week from December to June. It's not the normal 9-5 work week, and it's rough on the body. Come summer, it's time for recreation; not to be confused with lying around resting all day. As a mountain guide the days consist of climbing, swimming and hiking, and surfing whenever he gets the chance. Life in the mountains is a year round job, as long as you adapt to the surroundings and the climate.
"I don't do anything special to stay in shape in between seasons, but I have an active job and enjoy spending time in nature. When I skied for the first time in Patagonia this season it felt like I never stopped. I think variation is healthy; you need a natural balance in life. Like the night follows the day. It works for me."
Even though life differs from winter, the important aspects are still the same: meeting new people, sharing the passion with other motivated people, being in nature. Every day. That's what matters to Bruno.
"Patagonia is a different world to me, both when it comes to nature and culture. The locals here are amazing, they greet you with open arms, doesn't matter if you're a skier or not. Both their knowledge about the area and their company is invaluable."
Do you have a goal for the winter?
"Haha, that's a question for young people, says Bruno. His eyes smiling. I have no special competitions I want to win, no specific mountain I want to summit. I have different projects, but the goal is adventure, to meet people with the same strong motivation. I have a goal for the season to stay healthy and have fun both with my family and alone skiing. "
Bruno's lifestyle is something a lot of people dream of but very few can fulfill. Ski every day, live close to nature, travel the world trailing adventures. It's a career choice that differs from the norm. But the joy and motivation of what he's doing is still an inspiration whatever your 9-5 might be. The joy of the simple things. Bruno's philosophy in life.

SPOILER WARNING: If you haven't seen Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 6 "Blood Of My Blood," go do that right this second, then come back and enjoy this article in all its spoilery, fan-theory goodness.
From the start of the series, Arya Stark was a fast fan favorite — after Season 1, we even saw a rise in people naming their baby daughters after the middle Stark child. However, her training at the House of Black and White took a turn for the dry as she repeatedly had to renounce her identity (if you were a Stark of Winterfell, would you be able to say you were no one?), clean dead bodies, and get beat up by that arrogant little Waif.
BUT NOW Arya's storyline has resumed its adventure. After refusing to go through with the assassination of Lady Crane, she's on the run from the Waif, who wants nothing more than to kill her (but TBH, I doubt the Waif stands a chance now that Arya's taken Needle back and resumed her place on the war path).
If you've been following the theory of the Seven-Faced Starks, then you've already made the connection that there are seven Starks (not counting Jon Snow), and Seven Old Gods. As the theory goes, the fate of each Stark reflects the opposite of their corresponding deity (e.g., Ned Stark is the Father, who represents justice and honor, and he's killed at the tyrannical, evil hands of Joffrey).
The Stranger — the face that corresponds most strongly to Arya — is similar to the Westerosi version of the Grim Reaper. The only one of the Seven who is not depicted in a human form, the Stranger is often shown as a skeleton or part animal, bringing death to all.
According to the Seven-Faced Starks theory, Arya was never going to be able to finish her training at the House of Black and White:
The Stranger is known as the god of outcasts, which has befit Arya throughout the series. She's always been unlike other little girls, and now she's even unlike other orphans as she trains to serve the Many-Faced God. Calluna Reviews posits that if Arya's fate will be the inverse of the Stranger, she will never complete her training to become one of the Faceless Men. We can already see hints of that happening now as she struggles to fully release her name.
Now this has finally come to pass. Arya has blown her second and final chance to become Faceless. Assuming that her story continues to stick to this particular theory, what can we expect from her now?
1. Completing Her Kill List
Arya does relate to the Stranger in that she is an outcast, and associated with death (just think of her ever-growing kill list). But unlike the Stranger, Arya seeks to kill as a means of doling out justice to those she believes must be punished, rather than as a great equalizer among all people. Where the Stranger is cold, Arya is passionate. Therefore, now that Arya is on the road to becoming the inverse of the Stranger, it bodes well for her getting to off the rest of the people she's been itching to wipe out.
2. The Return Of Nymeria
Nymeria, Arya's direwolf, has entirely vanished from the Game of Thrones series after Arya forces her to run away in the first season. However, in the books, Arya dreams of Nymeria leading a pack of wild dogs, running around Westeros devouring men. Perhaps Nymeria is more of a nod to the Stranger than Arya, being an animal that brings death without pause. But now that Arya is starting her voyage out of Braavos, is a reunion on the horizon for the parted friends?
3. A Tragic Death
If the Stranger is the one who is meant to bring death equally, the inverse could well be having death brought to her. We've already gotten a glimpse of foreshadowing that Arya might not make it out of the long winter, from this passage from A Game of Thrones (the book):
"You'll be sewing all through winter. When the spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers." - Jon Snow to Arya
Although it was meant as a joke, and he was referring to actual needlework, this quote takes on a richer meaning in light of the fact that Arya named her sword Needle, and plans to do a great deal of work with it.
In light of everything that's been happening with Daenerys and Jon Snow, Arya hasn't been the subject of quite as many fan theory debates as some of the other Game of Thrones characters. But after this last episode, it looks like that could all be about to change.
Game of Thrones will return next Sunday on HBO. Check out the trailer below:

Apple sent every Apple Watch owner in the world a push notification announcing the "Ring in the New Year Challenge" — yet another reminder that every January should be spent exercising the last year's woes (and surplus poundage) away.
It's a simple concept: starting Jan. 2, the Challenge begins. From Monday to Sunday each week of the month, Apple Watch users will be encouraged to close all three Activity rings by running, swimming, or doing whatever cross-training activity that strikes their fancy to fill the quota.
With four full weeks in the month, there are four opportunities to earn the achievement. Participants will be prompted to share their goals and achievements on social media, because the one thing the month of January needs is more people posting about their health goals and fitspo aspirations.
A special notification, along with an achievement badge and pack of stickers (which can be shared and used in iMessage) will be the prize for winners — because living a new healthy lifestyle just can't be enough.
This is the second year in a row Apple has drawn attention to the Watch around the New Year. In 2015 in an interview, Apple VP of Technology Kevin Lynch touted the Watch's accuracy and encouraged wearers to count down to midnight together to ensure that everyone was celebrating at the exact same moment.
This year, Apple Watch wearers will be sweating together to ring in 2017— making the annual influx of New Year's resolution workout warriors in gyms everywhere just a bit more well-connected.

I just noticed that the web administrator misspelled "independents" in the title of this section. Not "RIAs, Indpendents", but "RIAs, Independents".
So, what do I win?
How about a one way ticket to Christmas Island(because the round-trip ticket is too expensive - something like $17K for 1st class)? It's (a tropical) Christmas 365 days of the year!
How many months has that been up there that no one noticed? I guess that's why we are advisors and not proofreaders.
It was just a test by the editors of the reg rep magazine, and you passed.
As a reward, you have now been appointed Chief Editor of the Forum, with responsibility for personally reviewing and editing each and every post for spelling, punctuation, organization, clarity and relevance.
Good luck!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO too funny !!!!!!!!

No, there is not a physical exam that can be used to diagnose OCD. It is possible, however, that some physical symptoms may alert doctors to the possibility that you have OCD, such as blistered or cracked skin from excessive washing; injuries from repetitive motions, such as making the sign of the cross every time you have a "bad" thought; or exhaustion from lack of sleep because of all the time required to perform your compulsive behaviors.
Can OCD be diagnosed with a physical exam?

It is true, even the legendary Sting is not impervious to bees.
RELATED: Sting To Re-Open Paris' Bataclan Theatre One Year After Terrorist Attack
Hanging out on a sofa on "The Graham Norton Show", Sting answered one of the world's greatest mysteries – has he been stung? "Well, I have," he revealed. "I actually keep bees… I usually go and visit them just to make sure they're doing okay, 'cause bees are very stressed at the moment. They're dying out."
And that is when he received a painful reminder of what he was dealing with. "We get along normally, but I was walking away from the hives and a bee came above and stung me right on the crown of my head," he said. "And it was the most exquisite pain. It was like a psychedelic experience… I haven't been the same since. It was 10 years ago. Wow! Sting me again, baby."
The 16-time Grammy-winner will release "57th & 9th", his first rock album in 13 years, on November 11.

Blood Family
Edward is four years old when he is locked away with his mother by her abusive, alcoholic partner, Harris. By the time an elderly neighbor spots his pale face peering through a crack in the boarded-up window and raises the alarm, he is seven.
Rescue comes, but lasting damage has been done. Sent to live with a kind foster family, and then adopted, Edward struggles to adapt to normal life. Even as a smart and curious teenager it's still clear to his new family and schoolmates there's something odd about him.
Then in a science museum, Edward sees an image that shocks him to the core and robs him of his hard won sense of safety. Can anyone's past truly be left behind? And could it be that, deep down, another Harris is waiting to break out?

Title: Discover the Roots of a Polynomial Function
In this lesson, students will be re-introduced to the Four Step Problem - Solving Plan. The plan will be used as a 'checks and balance' tool for discovering the roots (solutions) of polynomial functions. Students will:
*Explore the problem - identify what is given and what they are asked to find.
*Develop a plan - look for a pattern, make a model, solve a simpler but related problem.
*Solve the problem - carry out the plan
*Examine the solution - check the results with the conditions in the problem, check the reasonableness of the solution
Standard(s): [MA2015] AL2 (9-12) 17: Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial. [A-APR3]
Title: Investigating Parabolas in Standard Form
Students explore the coefficients of a quadratic function using a graphing calculator. This is an inquiry lesson to be used as an introduction to translations and dilations of functions.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science, GEMS Project funded by the Malone Family Foundation.
Standard(s): [MA2015] ALT (9-12) 34: Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
Title: Building Connections
In this lesson, from Illuminations, students make connections among different classes of polynomial functions by exploring the graphs of these functions. The questions in the activity sheets allow students to make connections between the x-intercepts of the graph of a polynomial and the polynomial's factors. This activity is designed for students who already have a strong understanding of linear functions, some knowledge of quadratic functions, and what is meant by a polynomial function.

I realised that on this blog I have never done a full detailed explanation of how I ended up living and working in Hamburg, Germany. Sure, I've had that conversation a million times in real life, but never bothered to put it all down in written form. So here it goes.
Way back in July 2010 I had a 10 year relationship come to an end and at that time I decided to do something that I had wanted to do my entire life which was to live and work in a foreign country. I was fortunate that I worked for a global company so I had the option to request an overseas posting if one became available and I did just that. I fully expected to hear nothing back from my managers for a good 6-12 months, if ever. Therefore, I was blown away when I was asked the following day if I would be willing to move to Hamburg, Germany. I was departing a few days later, coincidently to Cologne Germany, to compete in the Gay Games so my company gave me the 3 weeks I was away to think about it. When arrived back in Australia at the end of August 2010, I told them that I was willing to move. If my company had had their way, I would have been on a plane the following week, but since I was going through what essentially was a legal separation (ending a decade long relationship when you have shared assets is a messy thing), I asked them to give me 4 weeks in which to wrap things up and uproot my entire life. BTW, four weeks is nowhere near long enough to do that, but in my nativity I didn't know that.
I did all the things they tell you not to do when embarking on your expat journey. I didn't do much research on the city I was moving to before I committed to moving there – what I knew about Hamburg was only what was on Wikipedia. I didn't bother learning the basics of the native language spoken there before I departed and my firm did not organise my visa before I left my home country (okay, that wasn't my fault) but fortunately as an Australian citizen I could apply for a German work visa whilst in Germany, but the whole visa thing was touch and go and only got approved 4 days before my 3 month travel visa was set to expire. The whole visa problem was why I spent my first 6 months in Germany with only the things I could fit in the one single suitcase I brought over with me. The rest of my belongings (well 5 boxes of them containing mostly books and DVDs) were only shipped over once my visa was approved.
Because I was doing the whole solo expat thing, I had no support system awaiting me in Germany – no helpful partner who could tell me how things work or help me navigate through the challenges of living in country where a foreign language is spoken nor an fellow ally to join me on my journey of adapting to life in a foreign country. If I wanted to know how something worked, I had to find out by myself. I will be eternally grateful to my German boss at the time for picking me up at the airport and taking me to the supermarket before dropping me off at my temporary accommodation, even though one's first expose to a German supermarket should not be immediately after getting off a 26 hour flight. And to the wonderful WEBMU gang on Twitter for answering the thousand and one questions I had about German life and for helping me get health insurance when my company refused to offer any assistance claiming it was a 'private decision'. You guys did and continue to make my life here so much easier.
Despite this chaotic and ill-prepared start, my life in Germany has been one of the best experiences of my life. Almost four years on, I feel I'm finally starting to get the hang of things here and I have no plans to move on. However, I did get lucky. Things could have (& perhaps should have) gone very wrong. That's not to say things here have been easy. These last 3.5 years have probably been the most challenging years of my life, but my determination not to throw it all in and return back to Australia is paying off. In fact, I think I would find a life that was easy quite boring now. I rarely have a single day where I am not doing or learning something new, whether that is trying to explain a complex medical issue in German or trying to work out how to negotiate a new cultural situation or learning that my dishwasher was supposed to be regularly topped up with salt for these past 3 years (whoops!).
Expat life is exciting, challenging, chaotic and exhilarating and is most definitely not for the faint hearted. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a new way of living their life. However, don't go about it the way I did. Learn from my mistakes. Actually do some research and preparation before you make the leap as it will make for a softer landing. Then again, if you want to challenge yourself, then I can totally recommend my way of doing it.

In between baseball and girls lacrosse games, I had the chance to check out a few football combines this past month. Emptying out the notepad, here are some leftover nuggets:
Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association Combine
Gillette Stadium
Foxborough, Mass.
May 6
Earlier this month, we checked in with several of the state's top prospects who were at the combine, including Xaverian's Maurice Hurst Jr., Mills/Hopedale's Jon Baker, and Dighton-Rehoboth's Chuddy Nwachukwu. Today, with new information, I'm bringing to light some new information about some players with hidden potential.
Athletic Standard CEO Thomas Newman passed along some information regarding the tests his company ran during the combine, pasted below. I've added each player's school in parentheses:
The following Athletes all tested in the 95th percentile in the nation for vertical jump (Horsepower and the first indicator of genetic potential):
Sean Antonuccio (Masconomet)
Junior Oyaronbi (St. Clement)
Frank Ansah (Worcester South)
Terrance Gibson (Taunton)
Berny Platel (Fitchburg)
Shaun Callahan (Norwood)
Nick Patten (Medford)
Sean Eldridge (Bristol-Plymouth)
Isaiah Douglas (Bishop Feehan)
Dominque Leite (Brockton)
Alex Jette (North Attleborough)
Babila Fonkem (Abington)
Elias Camacho (Canton)
Jamal Williams (Taunton)
Justin Mount (Westford)
Shadrach Abrokwah (St. John's of Shrewsbury)
Quron Wright (Holy Name)
Kevin Makie (Mansfield)
Kaylan Philbert-Richardson (Archbishop Williams)
Thomas Johnson (Pembroke)
Daniel Kegbeh (Holy Name)
Lateral Speed (huge component for separation or locking down on defense)
Jhalen Bien-Aime (Boston Latin)
4.218 - Laser pro agility
4.01 - Stop Watch Conversion time
Additionally, it should be noted this kid was so raw any speed coach will bring this down to a sub 4.0 pro or a 3.8 stopwatch time. Great kid by the way, real gentleman
Watch List (these kids have one standout feature):
Andrew Benson (East Bridgewater)
6-foot-1, 175 lbs.
Vertical - 27.75
Pro Agility - 4.421
It doesn't appear that he will grow much more but depending on his football skills this would be a solid pick.
Ricardo Calixte (Brockton)
5-foot-10-3/4, 198 lbs.
6-foot-4 wingspan nearly (this kid will grow over the summer)
Vertical - 28 inches - Normalized Index 406
Pro-Agility - 4.43 - Normalized Index 330
I would keep a close eye on him because if he gets any taller or heavier he will easily tip into the strong D1 prospect.
Calixte's story is an interesting one. He has the athletic frame and raw tools to be an impact on defense (he also ran a 4.75 second 40-yard dash), but has played sparingly to this point -- allegedly, he didn't suit up for Friday night games last season due to religious obligations. The only points to his name in last year's box scores is a two-point conversion run. Micah Morel is probably the Brockton prospect with the highest ceiling right now, but keep an eye on Calixte.
Impact Performance Football Combine
Massachusetts Maritime Academy
Buzzards Bay, Mass.

Impact Performance Training owner Ross Jatkola put on his first combine on the turf at Mass. Maritime's Clean Harbors Stadium, attended primarily by athletes from the Cape Cod area.
Pound for pound, Dennis-Yarmouth was arguably the toughest team in the state last fall. The Dolphins' run to the Division 2A Super Bowl title this year, blowing out many of their opponents despite being routinely undersized (sometimes comically so), and everyone playing both ways, is testament to this. A lot of credit goes to Paul Funk and the remarkable building job he's done over the last decade to a program that won just six games in the 1990's. But credit also has to go to Jatkola, a D-Y grad and former University of Albany tight end who also works as the Dolphins' strength coach.
Cape Cod football is on the rise in Massachusetts -- a record five Cape teams made playoffs last year, with four of them winning Super Bowls -- and this was a good chance to see some of the rising stars in action. About three dozen competed, with Barnstable's Bryan Hardy winning the pro agility and Bourne's Josh Curry winning the 40-yard dash.

A few observations:
Peabody pleases
If I'm picking four quarterbacks for our preseason All-State team, Barnstable's Nick Peabody is probably on the list -- I would have said this in January. He has ideal quarterback size (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) puts a lot of zip on the ball, and has big-game experience (leading the Red Raiders to their first playoff appearance in 10 years). I know we have to take these things for what they're worth, but the way he threw the ball around in 7-on-7 drills reaffirmed my disposition. Saturday morning, he was putting the ball in tight spots all over the field, hitting teammates on 15-yard out patterns seemingly on a dime.
Linemen to watch
Two Class of 2013 linemen to keep an eye on are Barnstable's Tom Grimmer and D-Y's Joe Tyo. Grimmer is built low to the ground, going about 5-foot-11 and 250 pounds, but has good balance and posture. He won the bench press event, doing 26 repetitions at 185 pounds.
Tyo could be a late-bloomer. He's a raw prospect at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, didn't start on the interior defensive line until Week 3 of the 2011 season, and needs to build more upper-body strength. His frame has yet to fill out. But he also ran a 4.9 second 40-yard dash, and demonstrated terrific footwork in pass-blocking drills.
Next In Line?
It's too early to predict the next Matt Montalto, D-Y's 2011 ESPN Boston All-Stater at quarterback who will be suiting up for Bentley University this fall. But when the time comes, his cousin, Michael Dunn, could fit the bill. The freshman won the vertical jump at 9 feet 3 inches, and I'm told he'll be used in an "athlete" slasher role going forward for the Dolphins.

Some mountains are so beautiful they just have to be climbed and surely Mitre Peak holds a place, near the top of that list! This soaring peak appears like a standing wave over the pristine waters of Milford Sound.
We climb the South East route which follows a sharp ridge that appears like a giant sleeping dragons tail, along which we make our way to the pointed summit apex. The route is never hard but it is exposed, from the deep blue waters of the fiords to the summit itself. Prior to making the ascent of Mitre Peak, we warm up on some excellent alpine rock routes in the Darran Mountains of Fiordland, before we snatch a fine day for the ascent of this stunning mountain.
Why AC?
Success with the highest margin of care is always a hallmark of our approach; promoting the realisation that even extreme pursuits such as high altitude mountaineering can be undertaken safely.
"The overall operation and guides were simply excellent, very professional and dependable. I would recommend AC and their guides to my friends."

James Corden and Chris Martin are ridiculously lovable in Carpool Karaoke
It's a well-known fact that karaoke is infinitely more fun when you're in a car with James Corden, and no one knows this better than Chris Martin.
The Coldplay singer literally looks like he's about to explode with happiness throughout the epic 15-minute video, which alternates between singing, Martin doing (impressively accurate) celebrity impressions, and talk about the upcoming Super Bowl (Martin has no idea about the rules of American football, by the way.)
There's also a very entertaining pitstop to pick up some lemonade, which makes Martin so gleeful he inexplicably squeals: "I want to punch an elephant!" Read more…

There are a few Micromax mobiles that are some of my least favourite to deal with when rooting. There always seems to be a difficult process involved along with complaining people whom are struggling to find their way through it. Thankfully, the A89 Ninja doesn't seem to be one of those devices so far, and as you can see, the procedure is fairly straight forward which is a good thing.
This device does actually come with some pretty impressive pre-loaded apps already installed. But as you well know, it won't be anything compared to when you open it up to all of its glory.
The Files You Need
- Download the Root_script_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip.
- Make sure you have the Micromax A89 Ninja USB drivers. It is possible you have this already if you use the device regularly, in which case you can skip this step. This is necessary to connect the device to the computer, to upgrade the official firmware.
- You will also need to have USB debugging mode enabled to complete this guide. You can follow the link that I provided and find out how to do that if you don't know already
As with all tutorials please back up your device before you begin and go ahead at your own risk. Tech Chomps will not take responsibilities for any loss of data or damage which may occur to your device during the tutorial.
Rooting the Micromax A89 Ninja
- Download the Root script zip file and extract the file to your desktop. If you don't have WinZip because your free trail ran out or whatever, you can download 7Zip for free. 7Zip is an open source zip tool that works great.
- Connect the Micromax A89 Ninja to the Windows PC with the supplied USB cable. Once the PC picks up the device choose the media device mode and not the USB mode.
- Open the file you downloaded in step 1 and find the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 file. From here run the run.me bat file.
- Now a command line screen will pop up on your screen. The first line should say device type with 1) equaling normal mode. press 1 followed by enter to run in normal mode.
- Now the root tool will give you a few instructions to follow. Follow them and when you are done you should have gained root access to the Micromax A89 Ninja.
- Once complete the device s should re-boot itself and leave you with a rooted device.
- If you save time by testing the rooting method worked by installing the root checker app from the Google Play Store.

The overexpression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been identified in a variety of tumors and the investigation of its molecular mechanisms in tumor progression is a key topic of research. The present study aimed to investigate MIF as a potential marker for disease control or recurrence, and to assess the association between serum and salivary MIF and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Serum and salivary samples were collected prior to and following the surgical treatment of 50 patients with OSCC. MIF concentrations were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the adopted level of statistical significance was P<0.05. The results revealed that serum MIF concentrations were significantly reduced following tumor resection in OSCC patients. Furthermore, higher preoperative salivary MIF concentrations were observed in patients with larger tumors and in those who succumbed to the disease. In conclusion, high salivary and serological MIF concentrations were identified in patients with OSCC. Nevertheless, only serological MIF concentrations may be considered as a potential marker for the early detection of OSCC recurrence once the salivary levels, prior and following treatment, do not show any significant differences. © 2014 Spandidos Publications 2014.

The genotoxic impact of HIV infection on the oral cavity malignancies is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HIV infection in micronucleus (MN) frequency on the oral mucosa of HIV+ patients and establish a relationship with early cytogenetic changes in oral carcinogenesis.Thirty HIV+ individuals who are under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and 30 non-HIV patients were evaluated. Two smears were taken from the lateral border of the tongue and mouth floor and stained by Feulgen. The frequency of MN was examined in 3000 cells per subject under common microscopy.MN analysis showed no significant difference between groups by Mann-Whitney U-test for total MNs (P = 0.178). The presence of single MN was greater in control group with statistical significance (P = 0.009), while in HIV group, multiple MNs were exhibited in higher mean.HIV patients under HAART therapy and low viral load values showed higher frequency of multiple MNs, which, although not statistically significant, may be caused by the action of the Vpr gene, an accessory gene of HIV. These results corroborate the theory of HIV infection cytogenetic damage.

Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common form of human dwarfism and has been associated with biochemical alterations of the bone tissue, also observed in cases of osteoporosis. The present case series aimed at assessing low bone density, diagnosed with spinal bone mineral density (BMD) analysis and with panoramic radiograph measurements, in ACH patients. Spinal BMD was measured by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar region (L1-L4). On dental panoramic radiographs of the patients, the mandibular cortical width was measured separately on the right and left sides. The Klemetti Index was also assigned as appropriate for evaluating the cortical area below the mandibular foramen. Additional parameters such as patient age, gender, body mass index, and number of teeth were also recorded. BMD results showed that 5/11 cases presented with skeletal osteopenia/osteoporosis diagnoses. Additionally, mandibular cortical erosion was detected in panoramic radiographs in 8/11 cases. The BMD and panoramic radiographic alterations found in this study suggest that the diagnosis of low bone density may have a special clinical relevance in cases of bone tissue disorders, such as achondroplasia. © 2012 Clinical Rheumatology.

We investigated vitamin D status in Brazilian cities located at different latitudes. Insufficiency (<50 nmol/L) was common (17 %), even in those living in a tropical climate. Vitamin D insufficiency increased as a function of latitude. Mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in each site and latitude correlation were very high (r = -0.88; p < 0.0001). Introduction: Inadequate vitamin D, determined by low levels of 25(OH)D, has become very common despite the availability of sunlight at some latitudes. National data from a country that spans a wide range of latitudes would help to determine to what extent latitude or other factors are responsible for vitamin D deficiency. We investigated vitamin D status in cities located at different latitudes in Brazil, a large continental country. Methods: The source is the Brazilian database from the Generations Trial (1,933 osteopenic or osteoporotic postmenopausal women (60 to 85 years old) with 25(OH)D measurements). 25(OH)D below 25 nmol/L (10 ng/mL) was an exclusion criterion. Baseline values were between fall and winter. The sites included Recife, Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre. Mean and standard deviation of 25(OH)D, age, spine and femoral neck T-score, calcium, creatinine, and alkaline phosphatase were calculated for each city. Pearson correlation was used for 25(OH)D and latitude. Results: Insufficiency (<50 or <20 ng/mL) was common (329 subjects, 17 %). Vitamin D insufficiency increased as a function of latitude, reaching 24.5 % in the southernmost city, Porto Alegre. The correlation between mean 25(OH)D levels in each site and latitude was very high (r = -0.88, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: There is a high percentage of individuals with vitamin D insufficiency in Brazil, even in cities near the equator, and this percentage progressively increases with more southern latitudes. © 2013 International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Dental lesions represent about 1% of oral cavity tumors being ameloblastoma the most common one. It is a tumor of epithelial origin that mainly affects the jaw, and less commonly the maxilla. Its clinical presentation is that of an asymptomatic slow-growing tumor. Despite being a benign tumor, it has an invasive behavior with a high rate of recurrence if not treated properly. Objective: To describe the cases of ameloblastoma in a reference department. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 40 cases. The variables analyzed were: age, gender, ethnicity, tumor location, type of treatment, complications and recurrence. Results: The most affected gender was male - 21 cases (52.5%); with a predominance of Caucasians - 24 cases (60%). The mean age was 35.45 years; the most common location was in the jaw - 37 cases (92.5%). Facial asymmetry was the most frequent complaint. Of the 40 cases, 33 were submitted to surgery. Of those submitted to surgery, 24 (72.72%) underwent segmental resection, with recurrence in 4 (12.12%) cases. Conclusion: Ameloblastoma may relapse when treatment is not performed with broad surgical resection of the lesion with wide safety margins.

Early endoscopic recurrence is frequently observed in patients following resection for Crohns disease (CD). However, factors affecting the incidence of an early postoperative endoscopic recurrence (EPER) have not been fully determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for EPER after ileocolonic resection for CD.This was a retrospective, international multicentre study, in which 127 patients with a first ileocolonoscopy conducted between 6 and 12months after ileocolonic resection for CD were included. Endoscopic recurrence was defined as a Rutgeerts score of i2. The following variables were investigated as potential risk factors for EPER: gender, age at surgery, location and behaviour of CD, smoking, concomitant perianal lesions, preoperative use of steroids, immunomodulators and biologics, previous resection, blood transfusion, surgical procedure (open vs laparoscopic approach), length of resected bowel, type of anastomosis (side-to-side vs end-to-end), postoperative complications, granuloma and postoperative biological therapy. Variables related to the patient, disease and surgical procedure were investigated as potential risk factors for EPER, withunivariate and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses.43/127 (34%) patients had EPER at the time of the first postoperative ileocolonoscopy. In univariate analysis, only preoperative steroid use was significantly associated with a higher rate of EPER [21/45 patients (47%) on steroids and 22/82 patients (27%) without steroids (P=0.04)]. In multivariate analysis, only preoperative steroid use was a significant independent risk factor for EPER (odds ratio 3.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.30-8.28; P=0.01).This study found that only preoperative steroid use was a significant risk factor for EPER after ileocolonic resection for CD. Prospective studies are necessary to evaluate precisely the impact of perioperative medications on EPER rates.

Activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumour suppressor genes are the major genetic alterations involved in carcinogenesis. The increase in methylation at the promoter region of a tumour suppressor gene can lead to gene inactivation, selecting cells with proliferative advantage. Thus, promoter hypermethylation is considered a marker in a variety of malignant tumours, including oral cavity.The methylation pattern of eight genes was evaluated in 40 oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) and 40 saliva samples from healthy individuals by Q-MSP. Different combinations of genes were also assessed in order to identify gene panels that could better distinguish between OSCC and saliva samples.CCNA1, DAPK, DCC and TIMP3 methylation were highly specific for being found in the OSCC samples. Moreover, the combination of these genes improved detection when compared with single markers, reaching values of 92.5% for sensitivity and specificity (when using the panel CCNA1, DCC, TIMP3). Moreover, DAPK, DCC and TIMP3 were hypermethylated in nearly 90% of clinically T1 and T2 cases.The pursuing of this panel of hypermethylated genes is an important tool for the detection of individuals with OSCC. Moreover, the identification of these markers in early stages of OSCC shows the feasibility of using the panel on saliva as possible biomarkers for early diagnosis. The lack of association between the methylation status of these genes and clinical characteristics shows that they are able to distinguish OSCC cases irrespective of social and clinical factors (gender, age, human papillomavirus (HPV) status, clinical stage, vascular embolisation and perineural invasion).

Objective: Magnesium (Mg) is thought to be an important element in the pathogenesis of acute asthma attacks. We hypothesized that erythrocytic Mg would be decreased during an acute asthma exacerbation. We aimed at investigating plasma and erythrocytic Mg in acute asthmatic children. Methods: This case-control study included 30 Egyptian outpatients with acute asthma. Thirty healthy matched children were included as controls. All candidates had measurements of plasma and erythrocytic Mg levels before and after treatment. Findings: No significant differences were detected in plasma Mg levels between cases and controls (1.53±0.33 mmol/L versus 1.67±0.50 mmol/L respectively, P =0.2). However, erythrocytic Mg levels were significantly reduced in cases when compared to controls (1.06±0.43 mmol/L versus 2.57±0.59 mmol/L respectively, P<0.001). Plasma Mg levels did not significantly change in acute asthmatics before and after their rescue treatment (1.53±0.33 mmol/L versus 1.68±0.31mmol/L respectively, P=0.07). In contrast, the study detected a significant increase in erythrocytic Mg levels in cases after their treatment from acute attacks (1.06±0.43 mmol/L versus 1.56±0.23 mmol/L respectively, P<0.001), with significant negative correlation with severity of attack (Spearman's rho=-0.647, P<0.001). Conclusion: Erythrocytic Mg levels were significantly lower during the acute asthma, and were negatively correlated with severity of exacerbation, while plasma Mg did not significantly change. Only erythrocytic Mg levels were significantly elevated after receiving rescue treatment. © 2012 by Pediatrics Center of Excellence, Children's Medical Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, All rights reserved.

to assess the efficacy of the single transverse extended cervical incision in radical neck dissection.we conducted a prospective study, from January 2008 to January 2009, with 18 patients undergoing surgical treatment of malignant tumors of the upper aero-digestive tract. The primary lesion was located in the oral cavity in eight cases, in the oropharynx in three, in the hypopharynx in three, in the larynx in two, in the maxillary sinus, and in one case, the primary injury was hidden. There were 29 neck dissections, eight bilateral and 10 unilateral (26 radical and three selective). Staging revealed nine patients with T4 tumor, one T3, six T2, one T1 and one Tx. Five patients were N0, nine N2b, one N2c and three N3. The average number of dissected lymph nodes was 34.25. We performed the neck dissection through a single incision located in the middle neck, coincident with the skinfold, with a length of about 2 to 3 cm behind the anterior edge of the trapezius muscle and 3 to 4 cm from the midline for the unilateral neck dissections.as complications, there were myocutaneous flap necrosis in one patient with prior radiation therapy, one lymphatic fistula, one dehiscence of the tracheostomy, one cervical abscess, one salivary fistula and one suture dehiscence.the single extended incision provides adequate exposure of the neck structures, without compromising surgical time, even in bilateral dissections. It does not compromise the resection of all cervical lymph nodes; it has excellent aesthetic and functional results and is easily associated with other approaches to resection of the primary tumor.verificar a eficcia da inciso cervical nica, transversa e estendida, para o esvaziamento cervical radical.estudo prospectivo, de janeiro de 2008 a janeiro de 2009, de 18 pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirrgico de tumores malignos da via aero-digestiva superior.
