Quoth the Maven
In celebration of Halloween — and with apologies to Edgar Allen Poe — here's our take on what companies can do to make sure spooky business practices don't come back to haunt them.
Once upon a midnight lawful
Pondering practices, good and awful,
Reading through the U.S. Code
For dos and don'ts I parse and claw.
I came upon the Trade Commission's
Section 5 with all revisions.
"Tell the truth": Its admonition.
It's no defense to hem and haw.
Support your ad claims with precision.
To share info, get permission.
Protect consumers is the mission.
Quoth the maven: "It's the law."

Talk:Jerry Fleck (Ensign)
37,590pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Back to page
Rank? Edit
I'm confused, what is the source of his rank? --From Andoria with Love 23:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)-- Captain M.K.B. 05:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
So Fleck and Fukai constructed AND served on Voyager? Groovy! :) (Thanks for relaying this to me, btw.) --From Andoria with Love 05:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Removed Edit
- It isn't clear if Ensign Fleck could have been part of the Voyager crew when it was trapped in the Delta Quadrant, and worked on the Prometheus, which was built after Voyager was stranded. However, it is possible Fleck made contributions to the Prometheus design or construction before he was lost, and was still listed on the plaque in absentia. He could also have been assigned to the ship before it was stranded in the Delta Quadrant : during construction or test phase... Another explanation could be that the crew manifest was deliberately falsified in order to disturb aliens who tries to scan the database or board the ship, which could explain the use of the people on the dedication plaque with ranks that obviously are doubtful.
If it's unclear we don't mention it - speculative, as well. — Morder (talk) 17:24, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
Merge suggestion Edit
While the rank thing might justify having 'Jerry Fleck (Lieutenant Commander) and Jerry Fleck (Ensign) as different persons, there's no way to be sure which of the two is the one listed on the plaques. I'm not sure about the best way to deal with this though. -- Capricorn 18:20, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

I think the only reason they gave Russo a show was to make Intentional Talk seem watchable.
Did you love that thing where Russo and Francessa would spend 30 minutes very slowly guessing what the TV ratings were for each football game?

Directory Structure
Agile Toolkit is bundled with different types of files. In addition to PHP classes there are JavaScript libraries, HTML templates, CSS framework, Shell scripts and other assets. Let's go through your local installation and get familiar with file structure.
Local files, atk4
If you have already looked inside the 'atk4' directory, you would have noticed that it has similar directories to your example application. When Agile Toolkit is looking for a certain file, it looks first in your "local" directory. If the file is not found there, then it looks inside the atk4 directory.
Agile Toolkit has many add-ons you can use. Addons are distributed through Agile Store in .ZIP files and are unpacked inside atk4-addons folder. Your installation should have created atk4-addons/helloworld and atk4-addons/sample_views for you. While some add-ons would only contain PHP classes, others may dynamically include additional resource types. To activate add-on, referr to the documetation of that specific add-on.
Copy-On-Modify principle
Agile Toolkit requires minimally only one or two files. As you enhance or change the default behaviour of Agile Toolkit, you might want to change its files. You must never change files inside the 'atk4' folder. Instead, if they are PHP classes, you can just extend them. If it's impossible to achieve what you need through extending the class, you can force Agile Toolkit to use your own version of the class, image, stylesheet or HTML template: simply place a file with identical name outside the "atk4" folder. For example: by creating a file templates/default/images/logo.png you can replace the default logo with your own. However, never store an identical copy of a file without modification. If you do this, when Agile Toolkit updates the original, even when you update your installation, you will not see the changes.
Resource Types
Agile Toolkit relies on the concept of "resource type" when it attempts to use a file. The most used resource types are:
- php — class definitions which are not directly available, but are loaded automatically, when a class is used;
- page — page classes, which can be accessed by specifying the page class name in the URL;
- js — javascript includes;
- template — files related to presentation, HTML, CSS and Images;
- mail — mail templates.
Essential files and folders
Nearly all the files and directories are optional. You shouldn't create them unless they are needed.
.htaccess — contains mod_rewrite instructions atk4 — unmodified copy of Agile Toolkit. atk4-addons — unmodified copy of Agile Toolkit Addons. config-default.php — default configuration settings. config-distrib.php — template for config.php. This file is typically copied and renamed as config.php (see below). config.php — install-specific configuration options, such as database connection settings, etc. WARNING: adding your site's config file to a public Version Control System is a security hazard. doc — your software documentation, database initialization and update scripts index.php — file containing the Agile Toolkit bootstrap code. lib — your PHP code, php resource type. page — contains classes used for routing, "page" resource type. test/foo.html would look for a page/test/foo.php file, and in it, a class named page_test_foo templates/ — technically, the only location apart from index.php to be accessible directly from the web. templates/default — overrides certain files of default template. Only place changed files here. templates/js — contains your own javascript plugins. templates/mail — mail templates upload — webserver-writable directory for filestore add-on
Essential files in atk4
You will notice, that the atk4 folder has a similar structure:
lib — Agile Toolkit PHP code, php resource type. loader.php — a file, which you must include in index.php. templates/ — technically, the only location apart from index.php to be accessible directly from the web. templates/default — default HTML/CSS theme templates/elephant - alternative HTML/CSS theme templates/shared — shared components for all HTML/CSS themes templates/js — JavaScript libraries including jQuery and jQuery UI templates/xslt — some XSLT templates tools — supplementary command-line utilities
Essential files in atk4-addons
The Addon directory contains additional classes and other resources. Typically, in the addon documentation you will find instructions on how to enable that addon. By default no resources are looked up in atk4-addons. You will need to add this inside the API init method:
misc/templates — some additional HTML/CSS templates misc/lib — small classes and views, which can be considered helpers. Feel free to either use them as they are or copy them into your local lib/ directory if you need to introduce modifications. If you contribute some useful classes, they will be added here misc/docs — some universal resources, such as create script for 'country' table with up-to-date list of countries, filestore creation scripts. If you need to use them in your application, create symlink from inside your docs directory. mvc — Model-View-Controller implementation. To be moved into atk4/ soon billing — implementation of some billing processors

Have you heard of this singer Adele? British lady? Decent voice? No? Well, she's singing the new Bond theme, "Skyfall," and it just hit the Interwebs, a few hours before its scheduled premiere time. It's a pretty ostentatious arrangement — standard Bond theme stuff, nowhere near as intimate or intense as Adele's own music — although her pipes more or less manage to blow past the swooning strings. Give it a listen.

It seems most people either drink coffee or soda in the a.m. (The rest may drink tea!) I would think coffee would be healthier than the soda.
Why do soda manufacturers add caffeine to their products?
And that sounds a little shady, doesn't it?
The Science
Researchers hypothesized that "adolescents who repeatedly consume a new and unfamiliar drink that contains caffeine would like that beverage more over time, but that adolescents who drank an unfamiliar beverage without caffeine would show no change in their preference."
To test that hypothesis, adolescents aged 12-17 visited the SUNY laboratory multiple times.
- During each visit, they sampled an unfamiliar soda drink and rated their liking or preference for that beverage.
- The sodas contained varying amounts of caffeine, and the caffeinated or non-caffeinated versions were varied across participants.
- Over repeated testing days, participants increased their liking of the soda with the highest levels of caffeine, whereas there was no change in preference for sodas with low or no caffeine.
Your craving for a Diet Coke has little to do with the taste….it's the caffeine.
It seems most people either drink coffee or soda in the a.m. (The rest may drink tea!) I would think coffee would be healthier than the soda.
This is why I stay away from soda and coffee. The latter is a little bit more difficult
This doesn't surprise me at all. Caffeine can affect the brain, adrenals and pancreas in a way that is very similar to nicotine (in patch as well as cigarette form). This is why it's a little shocking to see so many lifters and athletes who include caffeine in their stack or take caffeinated cutting supplements. We get addicted to it because our body is becoming less adept at creating the hormones needed to generate a similar response, no?
…yeah? When I have a Diet Coke or 5-Hour Energy drink every day, it's so I can actually stay awake at work.
This is good info. I had a co-worker who would have severe headaches if she didn't drink a diet Pepsi in the morning.

Guardian House Donation
On Saturday February 11, 2012 Peggy Snyder, Deb Bostic and myself took the $750 donation from the hardship fund to the Guardian House. I'm not sure what I expected a homeless women Veteran's shelter to look like but I was very impressed by this shelter. It is a 250 year old house that has been brought up to code while preserving the "bones "of the house. It is set on about 4 acres of land in the town of Ballston Spa. It is a very homey welcoming house. One resident that acted as our guide showed us around the house. She proudly showed us the improvements that had been made and told us about plans for the future. She is a Navy Vet with bi polar and depression issues. She was very proud she is soon going to graduate from 4 Winds (a Saratoga based psychiatric center) and plans on getting on with her life in a positive way. Residents must contribute up to $250 of their income in support of the house and are assigned 3 hours a week of a volunteer activity that supports the house e.g. shoveling snow. These women are given job counseling to help them secure meaningful, long term employment. They are given counseling on life skills e.g. budget issues, relationship building/repairing and living an independent life.
The Guardian House opened in October of 2011 so all the women housed there are the original occupants. Budd the Executive Director of SCRPC (Saratoga County Rural Preservation Company, Inc.) programs told us about the male homeless Veterans house located in Ballston Spa that has been opened for 12 years. There average stay is 9 months with an 86% success rate.
I'm excited BSM were able to contribute to this wonderful house in support of homeless women Veterans. If you have a Veterans support activity in your area please let BSM know so we can hopefully support it.
Prattsville Fire Department Donation
Front Row: Keeran, Brett Olson, Frank Cangelosi, Nicole Osborn, Sam Rikard Back Row: Joel Sutch, Tom Olsen (Chief), Jim Dymond (Assistant Chief), Robert Murray, Steve Haight, Scott Doherty, Randy Brainerd St., Curtis Martin.
Peggy, Keeran, Karen Ferris-Fernside and I delivered our BSM donation to the Prattsville Fire Department on February 5, 2012. We arrived just in time to see the fire engines leaving to fight a fire. Peggy quickly handed the check to one of the fireman. After a short time we learned they were leaving a fireman at the fire house, as we were talking to him we heard the volunteers would be coming back soon. Tom Olsen the Fire Chief was then present to accept our check. The fire department was most appreciative of our donation. The fire house was flooded with 3 feet of water and you could still see the damage. Tom explained they were still waiting for a check from their insurance company and word from building inspectors. The fire department has equipment to replace and repairs need to be made to their fire house. We were impressed with the damage to the town of Prattsville and the work that is still needed to be done to make houses habitable.

Pirate attacks reached an all-time high this year but fewer ships are being hijacked due to tougher policing by international naval forces, according to the International Maritime Bureau.
There were 352 attacks in the first nine months of the year, up from 289 for the same period in 2010, as Somali pirates moved further into the Red Sea, the maritime watchdog said in its latest report. Pirates displayed "unprecedented boldness" by hijacking a chemical tanker at anchor in an Omani port in August.
But while Somali pirates are launching more attacks – 199 this year against 126 in the first nine months of 2010 – they are hijacking fewer vessels. Only 24 ships were seized by Somali pirates through September 30 compared to 35 in the year earlier period, according to the IMB's piracy reporting centre in Kuala Lumpur.
"Somali pirates are finding it harder to hijack ships and get the ransom they ask for," said Captain Pottengal Mukundan, director of the IMB. "The navies deserve to be complimented on their excellent work: they are a vital force in deterring and disrupting pirate activity. The number of anti-piracy naval units must be maintained or increased".
Pirates took 625 hostages, killed eight people and injured 41 in the first nine months of 2011.
The West African coast of Benin has seen a surge in violent piracy with 19 attacks resulting in the hijacking of eight tankers this year. There were no incidents in 2010. Piracy and armed robberies in Asian waters, including the Indian subcontinent, are down to 87 from 106 in the first three quarters of 2010.

Jordan Schildhaus '15 (#19, photo) was named second-team all-NESCAC for the second year in a row after a vote of the NESCAC coaches following the 2013-14 season. It was the third time Schildhaus has gain NESCAC laurels as she was chosen NESCAC Rookie of the Year following the 2011-12 campaign.
Ranking second on the team in scoring this season with eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points, Schildhaus upped her career totals to 27 goals and 22 assists for 49 points. Two of her goals in 2013-14 were power-play markers and she twice scored game-tying goals for the Cardinals during the team's solid 8-11-6 season. Wesleyan picked up at least one point in the standings against all eight NESCAC rivals with either a win or a tie, the first time since the double-round robin conference format was established that the Cardinals could make that boast. Wesleyan also equaled its highest-ever seed in the NESCAC tournament, securing the fifth seed. In the NESCAC playoffs, Wesleyan fell by a slim 2-1 count to fourth-seeded Bowdoin in the first round.
Wesleyan's eight victories this year was the most by the squad since the 2003-04 season, which also represented the last time the Cardinals qualified for the post-season.
Wesleyan was led in scoring in 2013-14 by Jess Brennan '17, who had nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points. Goalie Laura Corcoran '16 was ranked among the NESCAC leaders for both save percentage (.936) and goals-against average (1.83) this year while posting a 6-5-3 record.

For ages, mankind has searched for the Fountain of Youth. What we didn't realize, perhaps, was that the Fountain of Youth was right here within our grasp all along. This fountain does not consist of flowing water. It originates, instead, with routine, high-energy exercise. Not only can such activities help us to stay more youthful, it can turn back the hands of time. That's right! Exercise can actually slow down the aging process and even make your body younger if you exercise often enough and hard enough. (This means you have to consistently work up a good sweat and raise your heart rate during workout sessions.) Research has shown that individuals who exercise vigorously for at least three hours each week typically have younger DNA than couch potatoes in the same age group. The younger DNA is healthier and better able to ward off age-related diseases, such as high blood pressure, certain cancers, heart disease, and dementia. With this kind of news, why would anyone want to just sit around and grow old? If you want to look younger, feel younger, have younger DNA, and possibly live longer as well, stop searching for that mythical Fountain of Youth. Get active and start turning back the clock.

The Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park sits atop Mission Hill offering a patio, gardens, and excellent views of the city. The park features the only building left of the 12th California Mission, Misión la Exaltacion de la Santa Cruz, founded by the Franciscans in 1791. Restored to its original appearance, the austere single-story adobe was once housing for the California Indian residents of the Mission. Exhibits inside tell the story of the mission through the lens of the experience of the Ohlone and Yokut people. Location - Directions
Seasons - Climate - Recommended clothing
The weather can be changeable; layered clothing is recommended.
Mission Exhibits
New exhibits and a wall-sized movie projection to tell the story of the Ohlone and Yokuts Indian experience at the Santa Cruz Mission will be featured in guided tours, and may also be viewed at leisure on self-guided tours. This portion of the adobe, built in the early 1800's, is the only surviving building from Mission Santa Cruz. Archeological excavations in the 1980's revealed that this had been Indian family housing, the only example of its kind still standing in California today. The movie, We are Still Here, addresses the often hidden story of the experience of the Ohlone people between the era of the Missions and today. The new exhibits interpret the pre-contact lifeways of the Ohlone and Yokuts Indians, and are a welcome addition to the 7-room building that also includes information about the California Indian experience in the mission, archeological excavations and Neary-Rodriguez family history.
Mission History Portrayed in Video

Present work uses 1979–2005 monthly observational data to study the impacts of El Niño Modoki on dry/wet conditions in the Pacific rim during boreal summer. The El Niño Modoki phenomenon is characterized by the anomalously warm central equatorial Pacific flanked by anomalously cool regions in both west and east. Such zonal SST gradients result in anomalous two-cell Walker Circulation over the tropical Pacific, with a wet region in the central Pacific. There are two mid-tropospheric wave trains passing over the extratropical and subtropical North Pacific. They contain a positive phase of a Pacific-Japan pattern in the northwestern Pacific, and a positive phase of a summertime Pacific-North American pattern in the northeastern Pacific/North America region. The western North Pacific summer monsoon is enhanced, while the East Asian summer monsoon is weakened. In the South Pacific, there is a basin-wide low in the mid-latitude with enhanced Australian high and the eastern South Pacific subtropical high. Such an atmospheric circulation pattern favors a dry rim surrounding the wet central tropical Pacific. The El Niño Modoki and its climate impacts are very different from those of El Niño. Possible geographical regions for dry/wet conditions influenced by El Niño Modoki and El Niño are compared. The two phenomena also have very different temporal features. El Niño Modoki has a large decadal background while El Niño is predominated by interannual variability. Mixing-up the two different phenomena may increase the difficulty in understanding their mechanisms, climate impacts, and uncertainty in their predictions.

Health Care Reform: Pro-choice Forces Win the First Round in the Senate
| November 23, 2009
Senate Democrats held firm to allow debate to begin on a health care bill that avoids the abortion restrictions of the House-passed measure—and pro-choice activists are mobilizing to keep the heat on. But there are many hurdles ahead.
Everyone knew the import of the Saturday night Senate vote on health care.
Yes, it was historic in the sense it moved forward the first comprehensive health reform bill in decades, following House action a week earlier. That means weeks of debate will begin after the Thanksgiving break.
But for the feminist community, as well as the anti-abortion lobby, the vote also meant that the Senate bill would not contain the House-passed Stupak amendment, which would vastly extend the 1976 Hyde amendment banning federal funds for abortion. Anti-abortion Republican senators pleaded in vain for at least one Democrat to break ranks and block the health bill, to keep the Stupak amendment alive.
The Stupak amendment basically would prohibit insurers from offering abortion coverage in the proposed health insurance marketplace that is expected to provide insurance to more than 30 million people. The compromise language in the Senate bill would permit insurers to offer plans covering abortion that women would have to pay for with the portion of the premium that they buy with their own money, not with federal funds. Up to 80 percent of people in the insurance exchanges are expected to receive federal subsidies to cushion the cost of insurance. Those subsidies would have to be walled off from private money in paying for abortion coverage.
The Senate vote came after a week of escalating protests by pro-choice women, with high-level meetings at the White House and in Congress and with intensive organizing underway nationally for a December 2 pro-choice rally in Washington.
"Stupak was a massive wakeup call," says Erin Matson, action vice president of the National Organization for Women, who took office last summer along with NOW President Terry O'Neill. Matson is 29 and from Minneapolis. She has been a feminist organizer for a decade and was a founding member of NOW's Young Feminist Task Force.
She said the reach of the Stupak amendment stunned not just veterans in the women's movement but also those in Generation Y, women in their child-bearing years who had not given serious thought to the prospect that abortion might really be outlawed. The outrage, she said, took the form of "Wait a minute—we have a Democratic president who says he's pro-choice, we have a Democratic [House] speaker who says she's pro-choice. How are we getting this greatest constitutional threat to Roe v. Wade at this time?"
Matson's phone "is ringing off the hook. Women are signing on-line petitions who have never done anything in their lives, organizing in response to Congress trying to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is a direct attack on Roe for Generation Y."
In an ABC interview last week, she said she kept getting questions about political strategy and the impact of abortion on upcoming elections. "I said, quite frankly, I'm not concerned about the Blue Dog Democrats. What I'm concerned about are women on college campuses, women who are missing their periods."
She said the shock on the faces of the interviewers made her realize that "in the mainstream media we've not been talking about abortion for what it is," of the impact on "young women in their childbearing years. I think the response has been overwhelming." Saturday's Senate vote only starts the process. Attempts to add Stupak to the Reid's bill surely will be made but probably cannot succeed. Democrats would filibuster any such attempt and it would take 60 votes to defeat a filibuster. The anti-abortion forces don't have the votes to do that.
At the same time, there is no guarantee that the Senate will muster enough votes to pass the health care bill, ultimately, with divisions in the Democratic ranks on abortion and with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops criticizing the compromise abortion language crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The Reid bill would uphold the principle of the1976 Hyde amendment of not permitting federal spending for abortion but would provide for segregation of federal from private funds used to pay for abortion coverage. His compromise is similar to that shaped last summer by Representative Lois Capps (D-CA), which had been in the House bill brought up by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before the bishops threatened to rally enough Catholic House members to kill the bill unless Pelosi permitted an up-or-down vote on Stupak. She did that, and the amendment was adopted by a large margin, including the votes of 64 Democrats.
If the Senate does pass its health care bill, conferees from the House and Senate would be named to reconcile the differences in the bills, providing the next serious showdown on Stupak. If the amendment had been allowed in the Senate bill, conferees would have no leeway to change or delete it.
For now, the women's rights community savored a victory after its significant loss in the House.
Hundreds turned out in Washington for the annual fundraising dinner of the National Women's Law Center, raising more than $800,000. Last week, hundreds of activist women came to Washington for high-voltage strategy sessions with Obama Administration and congressional leaders to spell out the dire consequences a Stupak amendment would have on women's reproductive rights. They hope to rally many thousands of women to come in for a December 2 protest that would be coupled with lobbying members of Congress to preserve Roe v. Wade and to block the giant expansion of the Hyde amendment that Stupak would engineer.
Most insurance plans today cover abortion. The huge expansion of health insurance options under Obama-sponsored reform measures would actually restrict coverage of abortion from today's levels, if the Stupak amendment became law. Under the Hyde amendment of 1976, federal money has been blocked from any direct funding for abortion but in many states, private or state money is used to pay for abortion for low-income women, for instance, in the Medicaid program.
"Now, women can buy insurance coverage that covers abortion," says Byllye Avery of the National Black Women's Health Project. "Under [Stupak's restrictions on the proposed insurance] exchange, you wouldn't be able to…. It means you can't pay for it with your own money."
"It will affect all women of reproductive age…. If they make the very difficult decision to have an abortion, for financial or for medical reasons, then they'd have to figure out how to pay for it," Avery said. "There are states now where if you have insurance that will pay for abortion, you have to go to great lengths to find a provider who will accept your insurance. You can imagine how more difficult it will become."

FILE - In this Sept. 26, 2012 file photo People pass the signs telling of the requirement for voters to show an acceptable photo ID to vote as they head into the the Penndot Drivers License Center in Butler, Pa. Some political momentum could be on the line in a judge�s forthcoming ruling on Pennsylvania's tough new voter identification law. Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson is expected to rule Tuesday. That�s just five weeks before voters decide whether to re-elect President Barack Obama, a Democrat, or replace him with Mitt Romney, a Republican. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic, File)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The bill proposed by Tennessee Sen. Bill Ketron to allow student identification issued by state higher education institutions to be used for voting purposes has hit a snag.
The measure was put off for a week on Thursday to address concerns brought by another Republican lawmaker about the validity of using a college ID.
Ketron said the legislation would clear up any confusion regarding locally issued cards that he said were not supposed to be allowed under the original law passed two years ago. He said that includes library cards issued by local governments.
The city of Memphis and two residents sued the state last year after election officials refused to accept a city-issued library card with a photo as voter identification.
The Tennessee Court of Appeals has upheld the state voter ID law as constitutional but also allowed Memphis residents to use the library card as identification to vote.

BRCA Germline Mutations in Women With Uterine Serous Carcinoma-Still a Debate.
Summary of "BRCA Germline Mutations in Women With Uterine Serous Carcinoma-Still a Debate."
: To determine the incidence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in an enlarged series of uterine serous carcinoma (USC) patients and to determine whether patients with USC are associated with a personal or familial history of breast or ovarian carcinoma.
: A cohort of all consecutive patients with diagnosed USC was identified for 9 years. Family pedigrees were drawn as far back and laterally as possible. In all patients, genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and analyzed for the 3 mutations common in Ashkenazi Jewish patients. All patients went through total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy. Tubal, ovarian, and peritoneal carcinoma were ruled out clinically and pathologically in all patients.
: Of 51 consecutive patients with USC in Ashkenazi Jews studied, we identified 13 patients (25.5%) who were previously found to have breast carcinoma, 17 patients (33.3%) who had a first-degree relative with breast or ovarian carcinoma, and 8 patients (15.7%) who were found to be carriers of 1 of the 3 BRCA germline mutations.
: This series of USC patients, the largest consecutive series to date, suggests a higher incidence of BRCA carriers among Ashkenazi Jews as compared with the general population. This high rate of BRCA germline mutations in USC patients coupled with a high rate of personal and familial cancer histories may suggest that USC is associated with the hereditary breast-ovarian syndrome. This potential association of USC to the BRCA-associated cancer spectrum may have implications for the clinical management and intervention of unaffected BRCA1-2 germline mutation carriers. However, at the current time, there are insufficient data to provide evidence-based guidelines regarding the optimal timing or specific intervention to prevent cancers in these high-risk women.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Carcinoma, Verrucous
A variant of well-differentiated epidermoid carcinoma that is most common in the oral cavity, but also occurs in the larynx, nasal cavity, esophagus, penis, anorectal region, vulva, vagina, uterine cervix, and skin, especially on the sole of the foot. Most intraoral cases occur in elderly male abusers of smokeless tobacco. The treatment is surgical resection. Radiotherapy is not indicated, as up to 30% treated with radiation become highly aggressive within six months. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
Any drug treatment modality designed to inhibit UTERINE CONTRACTION. It is used in pregnant women to arrest PREMATURE LABOR.
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia
A malignancy arising in uterine cervical epithelium and confined thereto, representing a continuum of histological changes ranging from well-differentiated CIN 1 (formerly, mild dysplasia) to severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ, CIN 3. The lesion arises at the squamocolumnar cell junction at the transformation zone of the endocervical canal, with a variable tendency to develop invasive epidermoid carcinoma, a tendency that is enhanced by concomitant human papillomaviral infection. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
Uterine Balloon Tamponade
Inflation of a balloon catheter within the uterine cavity to control UTERINE HEMORRHAGE.
Genes, Immunoglobulin
Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).
