I came across a video on Youtube some year's back that was a little documentary on an artist who used his old spraypaint cans to create sculptures. It looked like fun and a good idea to put the trashed cans to use, so I tried it myself. Over the years ive figured out a few things on how to make the process easy. And for those living in a place like New York City where you may have to create these indoors, there are a few extra things to keep in mind. In his video, he used a shovel in his back yard. This cut out a few steps that I touch on.
* You don't want the paint fumes to fill up your house, especially if you're living with mom or you care about your health as much as I do.
* You don't want to have spraypaint spatters be your new decoration and reason to lose your $1350.00 deposit when you move out.
* You want to use your hands, because a shovel isn't within reach, and you also want your fingers to stay intact and not become part of the sculpture; the metal is sharp when you tear it apart!So in this video I've gone o-ver a few points on how to make it easier on yourself, bypassing some trial and error I have gone through for you. Ventilation- Make proper use of your fans to ventilate, along with using a respirator***, of course!
This is serious, I'm not just being Mr. Safety cheezball to save face in public. I Mean it.
-Spraypaint is a serious health hazard! (read up about it on my website http://mileswickham.com/Site/FAQ.html)
-A sloppy job- Make sure the part of the can youre poking a hole in is pointed at something you don't care about. Tarp your floor and walls, or do it inside a big paper grocery bag.
-Care- In the video I am showing one method of setting a big screw on a wood panel, with paper under it to save the floor from impact and leaking paint. This method is especially good if you want the can to stay undamaged; maybe you want to paint it like a canvas.
-Poking- A screwdriver or old steak knife will stab through the side of the can easily. Just remember: Paint will spray out when you poke the hole.
*Use those gloves, they'll save you some cuts.
-Drying- I sometimes hang my cans outside the window in a paper bag, or right in the window with the fan blowing out to let them dry once ive punctured them. The smaller your hole, the less likely and timely the paint will dry.
Fear not- the can won't actually EXPLODE. I have even set the top of a can on fire, and it blazed for a good 10 seconds before I freaked out and put it out…..I was a teen testing life's limits, what can I say.

I am evolving I am a dreamer, a survivor, a realist. I prize the truth in all things even the bitter truth is far better in my eyes than a lie.I believe people come into our lives at the times they were meant to.These are a few facts about me in no particular order:). I love to write. I love to paint, mostly oils and acrylics and all done in abstracts. I love taking photographs and rarely travel outside my door without my camera.I love fall and spring, the scent of lilacs-(my grandma wore this all the time) hot chocolate with marshmallows, strong coffee and cold pizza,My entire apartment is furnished with hand me downs, thirst store finds and tag sale deals. I've managed to pull it all together to make my apartment quite cozy and my artistic side has lent itself to a pleasant looking place despite a mixture of styles and odd and ends.I was a volunteer for Hospice for 10 years.I am happy to comment on your works, please know that I strive to comment on the work only. I may even offer suggestions. As the author you have the final say in what you present of course and I respect that. I will not however lie. If you can accept that then feel free to ask me what I think . I invite you to do the same with my writing as well.Happy writing all :)These are a few of my favorite quotes If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.. The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places. Ernest Hemingway Peter McWilliams Come to the edge,' he said. They said, 'We are afraid.' 'Come to the edge,' he said.

Time for a lawsuit
Submitted by pkristopher on Sun, 03/10/2013 - 17:08. Permalink
for slander....go after these individuals independently. Don't file lawsuits against the organizations because they have deep pockets, but you certainly can file a lawsuit for slander against Potak, or Mathews. Looks like Chris was quite happy to interject and associate the liberty movement and smear Ron and Rand's name. They should be punished monetarily. Filing civil suits would make them at least think twice before promoting such blatant and ugly propaganda. Even if a defamation of character slander/libel lawsuit fails, the defendant will have to respond to the suit. If there are enough groups, and individuals that file lawsuits independently against these disgusting propagandists they might eventually crawl back under a rock.

Official Launch of the LANCS Initiative in Foundational Operational Research
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The formal launch of the LANCS Initiative was held at The Institution of Engineering and Technology in London on Wednesday 20 May.
Hosted by Lancaster University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings, the event was attended by 145 national and international academic guests and representatives of UK industry and government (including British Airways, Royal Bank of Scotland, Unilever, Brawn Formula One Racing Team, Transport for London, HM Revenue and Customs and the Home Office).
The LANCS Initiative is a collaboration between four of the UK's leading universities in Operational Research (OR) - Lancaster, Nottingham, Cardiff and Southampton (LaNCS).
The consortium brings together the complementary perspectives of mathematics, computer science and management science. The Initiative is led by Kevin Glazebrook, Distinguished Professor in Operational Research and joint member of Lancaster's Department of Management Science and Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the four participating institutions are funding the £13 million Initiative for five years (2008 to 2013).
The central goal of the LANCS Initiative is the delivery of a significant expansion of the national research base in foundational OR. This will be achieved by an extensive programme of academic recruitment and training and through the establishment of networks of leading edge collaborative research centred on the OR groups at the four universities.
The Knowledge Transfer Network in Industrial Mathematics is supporting an industrial outreach strategy, thereby ensuring that research outcomes are effectively communicated to users.
Three of the LANCS Initiative's principal research themes seek to bring new OR approaches to bear on major societal, economic and environmental concerns; healthcare, transport and green logistics.
Two of the speakers at the launch, David Bishop (Head of Policy at the Airport Operators Association) and Peter Jones OBE (the Mayor of London's appointee on the capital's Waste and Recycling Board), described the significance of OR's contribution to these areas of national and international importance.
The third speaker, Dr Lesley Thompson (Director of the Research Base at the EPSRC), spoke powerfully of the vital need to strengthen the UK's research base in OR.
A drinks reception followed the presentations, where guests were invited to explore engagement opportunities with members of the research teams and view demonstrations showcasing OR applications and achievement.
Most of the 25 members of the LANCS Scientific and Industrial Advisory Boards attended the launch and also the inaugural board meetings, which took place the following day in London.

Article: Usefulness of 3D power Doppler angiography technique to the third step in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses. A prospective study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To evaluate the contribution of 3D power Doppler angiography (3D –PDA) for the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.Methods This is a prospective study (January 2009 - December 2013) in a university tertiary hospital comprising all women diagnosed as having a persistent adnexal mass and scheduled for surgery. All women were evaluated by transvaginal/transrectal ultrasound according to a predetermined three-step protocol. Transabdominal ultrasound was also performed in some instances. First morphological evaluation was performed using the mode B "pattern recognition" (first step). Lesions diagnosed as having a benign pattern were considered as low risk for malignancy whereas tumors with solid components, ascites and/or signs of carcinomatosis were considered as high risk of malignancy. In both cases no further test was performed. Tumors with solid components but without signs of ascites or carcinomatosis were considered as intermediate risk of malignancy. These lesions were assessed using 2D Doppler power (2D-PDA) to evaluate tumor vascularization (color score) (second step). Lesions with color score 1 or color score 2 in cases of a solid tumor were considered as benign and no further test was performed, whereas tumors with color score 2,3 or 4 within solid components or color score 3 or 4 in case of solid tumor were considered as malignant. The latter group underwent 3D-PDA (third step) assessment. The vascularity index (VI) was calculated in a 1-cc sphere of the most vascularized area of the tumor. When a VI ≥ 24.015 % was found the tumor was considered as malignant. All masses were surgically removed and histological diagnosis definitive used as gold-standard. The sensitivity and specificity for each strategy is calculated and compared. In case of bilateral tumor, only the most suspicious was used for analysis.Results367 masses in 367 women (mean age 45.8 years, range: 11–81 years) were evaluated during the study period. 86 masses were malignant and 281 benign. The sensitivity and specificity for each strategy was as follows: One-step: 97.7% and 78.6%, respectively; Two-step: 94.2% and 97.9%, respectively (p < 0.001 for specificity as compared with one-step) and Three-step: 90.7% and 98.9, respectively (N.S. as compared with two-step)Conclusions The addition of the 2D-PDA significantly increases the specificity whereas sensitivity remains high. The addition of 3D-PDA does not provide additional information and does not improve diagnostic performance.Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology 09/2014; · 3.56 Impact Factor

METHODS: This was a retrospective study comprising 244 women (mean age, 55.2 years old) with histologically proven EOC treated at our institution over a 12-year period. Clinical (patient age and symptoms and tumor stage), ultrasound (tumor volume, tumor appearance on gray-scale ultrasound, and color score), and histopathologic records were reviewed. Tumors were classified as EOC type I or type II. Type I tumors comprise low-grade serous, low-grade endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, and transitional cell carcinomas, whereas type II tumors comprise high-grade serous, high-grade endometrioid, malignant mixed mesodermal tumors, and undifferentiated carcinomas. Categorical variables were compared using χ test. Continuous variables were compared using 1-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc test or Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis test, depending on data distribution. RESULTS: Sixty-seven women (27.5%) had type I EOC, and 177 (72.3%) had type II EOC. We observed that women with type I EOC were younger, presented asymptomatic at diagnosis more frequently, and had lower CA-125 levels and lower tumor stage than women with type II EOC. Type II EOCs were more frequently identified as a solid mass and were smaller lesions than type I EOC. CONCLUSIONS: Some differences exist between type I and type II EOC in clinical and ultrasound manifestations. Although the clinical significance of these findings is still to be determined, this information could provide some clues to clinicians faced with the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.International Journal of Gynecological Cancer 03/2013; · 1.94 Impact Factor
Article: Adding cancer antigen 125 screening to gray scale sonography for predicting specific diagnosis of benign adnexal masses in premenopausal women: is it worthwhile?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess whether a single determination of the serum cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) level provides additional information to sonography for specific diagnosis of benign adnexal masses in premenopausal women. We conducted a retrospective study comprising 1058 premenopausal women (mean age, 34.8 years) with histologically proven benign adnexal masses. All women had undergone transvaginal sonography and serum CA-125 determination within 1 week before surgery and tumor removal. According to "pattern recognition" analysis, a presumptive diagnosis was provided on gray scale transvaginal sonography for all masses. Positive and negative likelihood ratios were calculated for gray scale sonography and gray scale sonography plus CA-125. Eighty-five women had bilateral masses (1143 masses analyzed). In 7 women with bilateral masses, the histologic diagnoses of the masses were discordant and were excluded. Histologic diagnoses were as follows: endometrioma, n = 452; dermoid cyst, n = 180; serous cyst, n = 158; hemorrhagic cyst, n = 119; mucinous cyst, n = 54; hydrosalpinx, n = 37; and other, n = 109. The median CA-125 level was significantly higher in endometrioma (71.9 IU/mL; range: 5-2620 IU/mL) and hydrosalpinx (59.2 IU/mL; range, 5-601 IU/mL) compared to all other tumor types (P < .001). The CA-125 level was 35 IU/mL or higher in 74% of endometriomas, 58% of hydrosalpinges, 34% of hemorrhagic cysts, 18% of mucinous cysts, 14% of dermoid cysts, and 8% of serous cysts. The positive and negative likelihood ratios for sonography and sonography plus CA-125 (335 IU/mL) for each kind of tumor were not statistically different except for endometrioma, for which the positive likelihood ratio for sonography plus CA-125 (55.0; 95% confidence interval, 27.5-109.9) was significantly higher than for sonography alone (19.2; 95% confidence interval, 13.6-27.1). Cancer antigen 125 screening does not add useful information for specific diagnosis of benign adnexal tumors, except for endometrioma. An elevated CA-125 level significantly increases the probability of such a lesion.Journal of ultrasound in medicine: official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine 10/2011; 30(10):1381-6. · 1.40 Impact Factor

Article: Perinatal outcome and long-term follow-up of extremely low birth weight infants depending on the mode of delivery.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the effect of the mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section) on survival, morbidity, and long-term psychomotor development of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. A longitudinal observational study including 138 ELBW infants (73 born by c-section and 65 vaginally) was conducted. We analyzed the survival and short-term morbidity. We also studied the long-term neurocognitive and motor development using the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA). Mortality was significantly higher in newborns delivered vaginally (49.3%) than those delivered by c-section (23.1%). Newborns delivered vaginally had a higher incidence of retinopathy and peri-intraventricular hemorrhage (P-IVH). Children who died had lower gestational age at birth and lower birth weight. After multivariate analysis only birth weight, gestational age at birth and P-IVH were independently associated to mortality. Regarding the long-term evaluation (MSCA), we observed that children born by c-section had lower incidence of abnormal results. The mode of delivery does not affect survival. Cesarean section provides lower morbidity and better prognosis for neurodevelopment long-term outcome in ELBW infants.The journal of maternal-fetal & neonatal medicine: the official journal of the European Association of Perinatal Medicine, the Federation of Asia and Oceania Perinatal Societies, the International Society of Perinatal Obstetricians 03/2011; 24(10):1235-8. · 1.36 Impact Factor

Article: Three-dimensional power Doppler angiography in endometrial cancer: correlation with tumor characteristics.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the correlation between intratumoral vascularization using three-dimensional power Doppler angiography (3D-PDA) and several histological tumor characteristics in a series of patients with endometrial carcinoma. Ninety-nine women (mean age, 61.7 (range, 31-84) years) diagnosed as having endometrial cancer were assessed by transvaginal 3D-PDA before surgical staging. Endometrial volume (EV) and 3D-PDA vascular indices (vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI)) were calculated using the Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL) method. All patients were surgically staged. Individual tumor features such as histological type, tumor grade, myometrial infiltration depth, lymph-vascular space involvement, cervical involvement, lymph node metastases and tumor stage were considered for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression (MLR) analysis was used to determine which 3D-PDA parameters were independently associated with each histological characteristic. MLR analysis showed that only EV and VI were independently associated with myometrial infiltration (EV: odds ratio (OR), 1.119 (95% CI, 1.025-1.221), P = 0.012; VI: OR, 1.127 (95% CI, 1.063-1.195), P = 0.001) and tumor stage (EV: OR, 1.103 (95% CI, 1.012-1.202), P = 0.025; VI: OR, 1.120 (95% CI, 1.057-1.187), P = 0.001), only VI was independently associated with tumor grade (OR, 1.056 (95% CI, 1.023-1.091), P = 0.001) and only EV was independently associated with lymph node metastases (OR, 1.086 (95% CI, 1.017-1.161), P = 0.001). 3D-PDA analysis of tumor vascularization in endometrial cancer correlates with some prognostic histological characteristics.Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology 03/2010; 35(6):723-9. · 3.56 Impact Factor

Article: Triage for surgical management of ovarian tumors in asymptomatic women: assessment of an ultrasound-based scoring system.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To prospectively evaluate an ultrasound-based scoring system as a method for triaging asymptomatic women presenting with an adnexal mass for surgical treatment. Two hundred and four adnexal masses in 189 asymptomatic women undergoing elective surgical treatment at our institution were included in this prospective study. Patients were evaluated by transvaginal power Doppler ultrasound imaging before surgery. Patients were classified as low risk or high risk for malignancy according to an ultrasound-based scoring system. Women with a low risk for malignancy were scheduled for laparoscopy and patients with a high risk for malignancy were scheduled for laparotomy. However, patients classified as low risk by the ultrasound scoring system, but with a tumor size >or= 10 cm or clinical suspicion of pelvic adhesions, were instead considered to be at intermediate risk and were scheduled for laparotomy. Some patients classified as high risk were scheduled for an operative laparoscopy by an expert in gynecological oncology. One hundred and thirty-four (65.7%) masses were considered to be low risk and were treated by a laparoscopically guided procedure. All these tumors were benign. Forty-seven (23%) masses were classified as high risk, of which 39 tumors were malignant and eight benign. Twenty-three (11.3%) tumors were considered to be intermediate risk and were scheduled for primary laparotomy. In this group, 21 (91.3%) tumors proved to be benign and two (8.7%) were malignant. Ultrasound-based triage of asymptomatic women diagnosed with a persistent adnexal mass is effective for selecting the surgical approach.Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology 07/2008; 32(2):220-5. · 3.56 Impact Factor

Article: Transvaginal color Doppler sonography versus sonohysterography in the diagnosis of endometrial polyps.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the diagnostic performance of transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TVCD) and sonohysterography (SHG) in the diagnosis of endometrial polyps. Fifty-one women (mean age, 51 years; range, 27-75 years) with clinical or B-mode sonographic suspicion of endometrial polyps were included in this prospective study. Transvaginal color Doppler sonography first and then SHG were performed in all patients. On TVCD, a polyp was suspected when a vascular pedicle penetrating the endometrium from the myometrium was identified. On SHG, a polyp was suspected when a focal polypoid lesion was seen within the endometrial cavity. All patients underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy, the findings of which were used as the criterion standard. Sensitivity and specificity for TVCD and SHG were calculated and compared by the McNemar test. Hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy findings were as follows: endometrial polyps, 41; endometrial hyperplasia, 3; cystic atrophy, 4; proliferative endometrium, 2; and endometritis, 1. Sensitivity and specificity for TVCD and SHG were 95% and 80% and 100% and 80%, respectively (McNemar test, P = .5) Transvaginal color Doppler sonography and SHG had similar performance for diagnosing endometrial polyps.Journal of ultrasound in medicine: official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine 07/2004; 23(6):743-8. · 1.40 Impact Factor

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality

Parent involvement
Whittier Elementary has experienced and committed teachers, many of whom have been at this school for decades and live in the area. The administration has been understanding and supportive with us in effectively handling a serious allergy. The PTA is very active, and there are often parent volunteers in the classrooms as well. Whittier is the only school in the Everett School District with a uniform policy, which is very unusual for a public school, and it works well to help avoid cliques, reinforce school pride & camaraderie, and eliminate stress when school shopping and getting ready each morning. The school has been recently remodeled, while retaining its original character, and has a large playground, separate kindergarten playground, and an outdoor covered area. Overall, this is a great neighborhood school. If I had to select one area to nitpick, I wish the playfield was improved with better backstops, goals, infield, drainage(!), a perimeter track, and overall maintenance, to allow better utilization by the kids and community, but I respect that there are budget issues and don't feel this is enough to remove a star.
It is a very progressive school. The children are valued for what they can do, not for what they can't.
This elementary school was warm, careing, helpful, just about everything a parent would want in a school. They are very safe with the students, they do not allow any type of bullying, they call you personally if your child is marked absent just to check if all is ok, the principal & staff are remarkable - excellent as well as the pta. My favorite part about this school is the uniform requirement which is simple and adds unity for the students. I love this school! thanks ji
My son has gone to Whittier for 2 years now. We love it and have been very pleased with the teachers and faculty. I like how easy it it to get involved and the teachers seem to welcome it.
This school is great. I love the uniforms. I also love the staff. I have gone back a visited, and the staff still remember me, by name. I believe the creative minds of the teachers have led my child to possitive and rewarding studies. Thank you to all of the staff. We will miss you.
The uniform policy is great, the teachers are very nice, but some of the office and staff seem grumpy most of the time, which can be annoying. Overall I am pleased with the school. The all day kindergarten is excellent, my daughter learned a tremendous amount in the class, but $2300.00 a year I feel is steep.
Whittier has a uniform policy, which is WONDERFUL. The office staff could be a little less judgmental and a little more helpful, but all in all I have enjoyed having my children in this school.

Oliker: U.S. health care could learn from the Swiss
Send this to a friend
Donna Abbott Vlahos | The Business Review
David Oliker, CEO of insurer MVP Health Care in Schenectady, New York, said there is much to admire in the Swiss health care system, but that does not mean the whole Swiss system can, or should, be duplicated here. "It is a great model for the Swiss, but they are country of seven million people."

David Oliker has just returned from a whirlwind tour of the Swiss health care system, and he is ready to go back anytime.
"What's not to like about Switzerland?" said the CEO of Schenectady-based MVP Health Care. "They have chocolate, skiing, watches, banks and really great health care."
Switzerland is considered by many to have the best health care system in the world. Everyone is covered—although it remains a private, competitive process—and quality of care is high. But while Oliker, who will retire from MVP at the end of February, sees a lot we can learn from the Swiss, he is not sure their system would work here.
"It is a great model for the Swiss, but they are country of seven million people," he said.
Oliker, who is 64, traveled to Switzerland Nov. 25 with Dr. Peter Otto, a professor at Union Graduate College in Schenectady, and 12 MBA students. For five days, they visited health insurers, pharmaceutical plants, hospitals, and REGA, the rescue service that will pick up sick and injured Swiss where ever they happen to be, even another country.
This was actually Oliker's second visit to Switzerland. He was there in the fall of 2011 with a group of about two dozen managed care and health systems executives. But that trip was about policy and meetings with "the wonks."
"This time was different, it was kind of a hands-on experience," he said. "We had the ability to sit down and interact with the people who were actually doing whatever it was they were doing—researching cures, writing health plans, running the hospitals, flying the helicopters. We covered a lot of geography and a lot of health care systems in five days. Sometimes we were at it from seven in the morning until 10 at night."
Pinckney covers banking, health care, media and advertising.
