Rational thinking about water may be key to ensuring a clean, plentiful supply
Vaclav Smil
Water quality and its impact on human health—above all due to waterborne diseases of children—have become perennial concerns. And with the shifts in precipitation and water availability that may accompany global warming, such concerns only further command our attention. The author advances the concept of "virtual water" (as coined by John Anthony Allan of the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London), which accounts for all the water required to grow or manufacture a product. In the U.S. alone, about 5,000 liters of water are needed to produce the typical citizen's 3,900 kilocalorie-per-day diet. Water use could thus be restrained by both the types and the amounts of food consumed.

The National School Boards Association this week released its second-annual list of "20 to Watch"--a compilation of 20 innovators in the field of education technology. This year's list encompasses a broad range of ed tech professionals, from district technology personnel to university researchers to technology and learning providers.
"These educators are the thought leaders of tomorrow. Their natural curiosity allows them to explore the potential of new tools and more importantly, excite and inspire others to follow their lead," said Ann Flynn, director of education technology for NSBA, in a statement released this week. "We had many great nominees who are not afraid to question, redefine, and transform education." NSBA is an association representing about 95,000 school board members in the United States.
This year's list includes:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A man has pleaded guilty in Nashville to the murder of his girlfriend, whose badly burned body was discovered in August 2010.
Adrian Henry was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in prison for the slaying of Saret Vit, a restaurant worker.
The autopsy showed she had head trauma and was likely strangled. According to WTVF-TV, police believe she was dead before being set on fire.
Her body was found in a field north of downtown. Police said Henry had burned skin on his face and right arm when they interviewed him.

"Thanks to the continued generosity of our donors and the leadership of the Board, the Telluride Foundation is able to increase by 20% the total dollar amount distributed in Community Grants over last year. We are extremely grateful to these generous donors who support the vital work that our community nonprofits and organizations do for all of us," said Mark Dalton, Co-Chairman of the Telluride Foundation.
In its 2008 annual Community Granting cycle the Foundation awarded grants to 78 of the 81 groups that applied. In this cycle the grant awards ranged from $1,000 to $40,000, with 24 percent going to human services, 23 percent of the grants funding arts and culture, 18 percent to education, 21 percent to early childhood development, 6 percent to the environment/animals, and 8 percent to athletic groups. Three Technical Assistance Grants were also awarded. These Technical Assistance grants are designed to improve nonprofits' operational efficiency and/or capacity and include an organizational assessment by a third-party consultant as well as development and implementation of a specific action plan for the organization by a trained nonprofit consultant. A complete on-line searchable database of all grants can be found at http://www.telluridefoundation.org/index.php?page=grant-recipient-directory.
"This year, the grants committee seriously deliberated over each application in light of the economy, and the Committee was hesitant to fund new or emerging programs, new staff or new equipment," said Harmon Brown, Cchairman of the Ggrants Cgrants committee. "We considered how the need for core and essential services might increase in 2009 due to the economy and prioritized these services over programs that could be implemented in the future when the economy improves." Brown added, "Early childhood education was one of the core services that the Grants Committee choose to emphasize with its funding this year."
Local groups receiving grant awards included organizations serving Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Norwood, Nucla and Naturita. The Telluride Foundation supports many types of organizations in the community that serve the people who live or work in San Miguel County.
In addition to its annual Community Grant awards, the Foundation has continued to expand its funding and the reach of its initiative-based granting programs such as the Local Healthcare Initiative, Bright Futures Early Childhood Development Fund, the family emergency Good Neighbor Fund, the Immigrant Integration Initiative - One Telluride, and the Special Initiatives Grant Program.
The Telluride Foundation's Community Grant award recommendations are drafted by the nineseven-member Grants Committee, all of whom sit on the Foundation's Board of Directors. The committee evaluates the grant requests against a rigorous set of criteria and forwards their slate of recommendations to the full Board for review and final approval. The Grants Committee is comprised of Chairman Harmon Brown, Allan Gerstle, Elaine Fisher, Melanie Montoya, George Parker, Ed Barlow, Brian O'Neill, Trisha Maxon, and Susan Saint James - Ebersol. Their recommendations were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on December 30th. The Foundation's next round of local grants will be announced in December of 2009, with applications due October, 30 2009.
The Telluride Foundation exists to create a stronger Telluride community through the cultivation and promotion of philanthropy. It is a nonprofit, apolitical community foundation that provides year-round support for local organizations involved in arts, education, athletics, charitable causes, land conservation and other community-based efforts through technical assistance, education and grant making. As a grant maker, the Foundation awards grants to qualified applicants that serve the people living and/or working in the Telluride region for the purpose of enhancing the quality of life within the region.

Pop start: Josh Phegley has 3 HRs after 5 games
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com July 12, 2013 9:04PM
In five games since being called up, catcher Josh Phegley (36) already has driven in eight runs. | Carlos Osorio~AP
The facts: Game 1, 2:05 p.m., CSN, 670-AM, 97.5-FM.
Game 2, 7:15 p.m., CSN,
The starters: Game 1, John Danks (2-6, 4.31 ERA) vs. Jonathan Pettibone (5-3, 3.84). Game 2, Hector Santiago (3-5, 3.49) vs. John Lannan (2-3, 4.23).
Updated: August 14, 2013 6:18AM
PHILADELPHIA — Baseball is Josh Phegley's love and livelihood. When it was taken away because of a rare blood disorder, the White Sox rookie catcher realized what the game meant to him on a whole new level.
He wondered if he'd ever play again.
"It did give me a different outlook when I got back,'' Phegley said Friday, reflecting on being limited to 48 games as a minor-leaguer in 2010. "Who knew if I'd ever make it back? It showed me not to take it for granted and to love every second of being back on the field and being able to play.''
Phegley, who was scheduled to start again at catcher in the game Friday night against the Phillies that was postponed by rain, has caught the fancy of Sox fans in his five games behind the plate since getting called up from Class AAA Charlotte. He has three home runs, including a pivotal grand slam Thursday against the Tigers.
To think there was a time he thought he might not catch again.
"It was a big mystery,'' he said of his bout with ITP, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a blood clotting disorder caused by an abnormally low blood platelet count. When steroids and other pharmaceuticals failed as remedies, doctors removed his spleen, and he has been normal since.
And confident. Phegley was batting .316 with 15 homers and 41 RBI at Charlotte when he got called up last week, and he wasn't intimidated by the step up in class.
"I was not really concerned,'' said Phegley, a 2009 sandwich pick out of Indiana. "The one thing I try to keep in mind is everyone up here has played in the minor leagues at some point. Some of those guys I have seen down there are going to be your next David Prices and guys who throw like that. They're smarter, they've got more reps, more experience and their plan is going to be a lot better. One point of emphasis for me is to kind of have my plan and stick to it and do my homework on my end and keep using the same approach.''
Phegley's homers have come against Price, Anibal Sanchez and Matt Garza, all of them top-level arms. According to Elias and STATS, he is the first player in franchise history to hit a grand slam and drive in eight runs in his first five games, and he's the third Sox player to hit three homers over his five career games (Magglio Ordonez in 1997, Zeke Bonura in 1934). Perhaps the most encouraging thing manager Robin Ventura has seen is Phegley's ability to adjust.
"He went through a stretch where guys were pitching him different than they might have in the first couple of games, and he's adjusted,'' Ventura said. "That's the biggest thing up here. You have to make adjustments all the time, and they're going to figure out how to get you out, and you have to figure out how to get a hit. And the longer he's here, the harder it's going to get. He's had to make adjustments, and so far he's done it in a game with Sanchez — and that's a positive sign when you see guys do that.''
"It's been really fun,'' Phegley said. "It's kind of a big surprise to me to have so many home runs this early. I'd like to mix in some singles and doubles, but I'll take some home runs when I can get them, especially the big one Thursday. We needed it for the 'W,' so that was big.''

CD-R King sells everything is a section of JAM Online in where the author talks about CD-R King products that you might not be familiar with. And yes, these products are real.
Oh CD-R King. You have Windmills, Beauty products and even a LED light bulb. What else do you got? Well, here's another very interesting product from CD-R King. Introducing, the E-Bike. Yes, that's a picture of an Electric F****** Bicycle. Well, it's very rare to see E-Bikes at malls and some bike shops. I don't even know how this thing works. I know how to ride and use a bicycle but I didn't know there's an electric bicycle that is available here in the Philippines. Anyway, the E-Bike can run up to 25kph and it comes with a headlight and a taillight. The price is steep at P14,800.00. But c'mon guys, it's very rare to see CD-R King E-Bikes around. There are only a few CD-R King stores that are selling this thing. Check out the CD-R King E-Bike in this link. Geez, CD-R King. What's next? A CD-R King car?

Spotting Counterfeits: A Consumer's Best ToolJanuary 25, 2010 – 6:19 pm
Packaging is being called upon to help consumers identify counterfeit Alli. Could you call upon your own packaging to help in the event of a counterfeit attack on your brands?
FDA updated its public health alert about a counterfeit version of Alli 60 mg capsules (120 count refill pack) being sold over the Internet, particularly at on-line auction sites, the agency reported. Alli is an FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss drug that contains orlistat as its active ingredient. The fake product may contain unsafe amounts of sibutramine, the active ingredient of another FDA-approved drug.
FDA advises consumers to look for certain packaging and labeling elements that exist on authentic products. Counterfeit products are missing lot codes on the outer cardboard packaging, feature incorrectly formatted expiration dates, and lack the safety seal of the real product bearing the words "SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION" prominently printed on it. For photo examples, click here.
Have you built in unique packaging and labeling clues that could help consumers spot a fake version of your products?

Quarterly Report
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information"' elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
We own and operate CAKE, www.cakemarketing.com and www.getcake.com, a cloud-based tracking and analytics platform providing advertisers, agencies and networks with business intelligence to increase return on investment on digital advertising spend, reduce operational cost, and manage lifetime value of customer acquisition. Our enterprise tracking application, CAKE, is a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, tracking and real-time reporting dashboard to manage media campaigns across mobile, affiliate, display, search and social.
CAKE is designed for affiliate marketers, agencies, advertisers and lead generation firms looking to simplify their business processes and improve return on investment. The CAKE platform was internally designed and developed by our team of online advertising industry veterans and top-tier software engineers. With a strong background in affiliate marketing and lead generation, the CAKE platform contains business rules and logic that make it a useful tool for online marketing professionals.
Our business is currently headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with offices in Santa Monica, California, and London, United Kingdom, allowing us to provide global support to our client base. The CAKE platform supports multiple languages and currencies so online marketers can track the performance of their marketing campaigns and better target their digital spend on a global scale.
The CAKE platform's breath of capabilities provides opportunities in many of the major verticals like finance, travel, entertainment, and gaming. Recent product features and enhancements have also contributed to new opportunities in mobile and retail.
CAKE's mobile tracking technology allows a marketer to track application, or app, installs and more importantly events that take place within the app, so the digital marketer knows that the app was installed and what the user is doing within that app: for example, buying items, depositing funds, and referring friends. This all contributes to the marketer's understanding the value of that user and may effectively alter advertising spends to target profitable users.
Retail tracking is an opportunity CAKE has introduced into the suite of features. This enables retailers to track the effectiveness of an online campaign at the individual product or SKU level. Retail tracking provides insight into the real value or actual products that are being sold from a specific digital ad. This is important to enable marketers to track which products are being sold from the advertisement placements. In the retail market CAKE has developed a technology that is enabling advertisers to work directly with publishers in the affiliate channel cutting out traditional fully-managed affiliate networks. Advertisers today pay traditional fully-managed affiliate networks a license fee and commission to manage their affiliate relationships. By replacing the traditional fully-managed affiliate network with the CAKE platform advertisers now eliminate paying commission fees, develop direct relationships with the affiliates, and gain the transparency needed to make decisions to positively effect their digital spend return on investment.
Our revenue model is based on a monthly license, usage fee (based on volume of clicks, impressions, or leads), and a training and implementation fee. Clients purchase annual subscriptions with a discounted monthly usage program or a monthly subscription and usage fee. A majority of our revenues is derived from clients in the United States but we have seen 345% growth in revenues this past year from our European client base.
Our training, account management, and support personnel contribute to our cost of operating the business second only to our cloud based infrastructure. We anticipate more spending in these areas while we continue to grow and could foresee some savings in infrastructure cost due to economies of scale. However, we want to continue to invest in both of these areas to support our growth.
We have experienced in excess of 100% year on year growth since 2011 with minimal sales effort and limited marketing budget. The organic growth has been a result of providing the performance marketing industry a comprehensive suite of business intelligence tools through innovation and what we believe to be a superior product and customer experience.
Our success has also been seen with our revenues growing 61.1% from $1,570,948 during the third quarter of 2012 to $2,531,479 during the third quarter of 2013. This success has enabled us to eliminate all our interest-bearing debt as of September 30, 2013 and become a profitable company with cash and working capital of $1,030,099 and $1,693,894 as of September 30, 2013.
We intend to grow revenues by investing in sales and marketing efforts. We are currently hiring and will continue to hire sales executives globally to target specific verticals and accounts with both agencies and advertisers. Marketing will allocate significant budget to being present at tradeshows, industry publications, and providing the support documentation required by sales initiatives. Additional efforts will be made to speak at industry events and write for online publications increasing awareness of the CAKE suite of products and the thought leadership driving product development.
During November 2012, we formed Cake Marketing UK Ltd, a private limited company, which is our wholly-owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom in order to better provide our services in the European market.
Our principal offices are located at 2244 West Coast Highway, Suite 250, Newport Beach, CA 92663. Our telephone number there is: (949) 515-2141. Our corporate website is: www.accelerizenewmedia.com, the contents of which are not part of this quarterly report.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol "ACLZ".
Business Environment
The business environment for our SaaS platform is characterized as follows:
? Larger advertisers are evaluating mission-critical software, such as ours, to manage their online performance-based initiatives. Such companies are factoring whether it is more beneficial to them to either develop their own technology or license it from third-parties, such as us;
? Advertisers are requesting more in-depth data related to performance of their online initiatives across publishers and channels as well as deploying our types of solutions, suited for channels with unique characteristics, such as mobile and social channels;
? As the online performance-based market grows, there are new entrants as solution providers, who are competing mostly on price and on richness of features and performance tools;
? We believe that our existing and potential customer base continues to look for more measurable results in their online performance-based growth and more flexible contractual terms; and
? We believe there are opportunities to increase our number of clients in Western and Central Europe, where companies are adopting and implementing online performance-based initiatives.

I just think it jumped too far and too fast to hold the momentum, and is due for a rest. I'm holding because of the good dividends, and I'm hoping the long run will be positive.

Mothering in the Information Age

Same rules with different methods. That's the similarity and the difference between our mothers and us. When our mothers (particularly mine) would routinely nag us to wake up early, get ready for school, make our homework, clean our room, spend more time at home and just about anything, the gospel-like messages enter our right ear and goes out on the left. Sounds familiar?
Fast forward. When it was our fateful turn to become mothers, we found ourselves telling our lucky children the same life lessons our beloved mothers told us. Everyday. The content is the same but the context is different. The free TV had only four (4) channels (PTV,RPN,GMA, ABS) and can switch by turning the knob clockwise. Now with cable TV and more than fifty (50) channels to choose from, the ubiquitous remote control can easily bring us to the strangest places, make us laugh, cry, think or get angry in few seconds.
The entire family and the neighborhood used to listen to almost the same radio program everyday. News in the morning; a tear jerker drama before lunch; love songs and advice (Ito and Inyong Tia Dely) in the afternoon; and horror or fantasy (Gabi ng Lagim) before bedtime.
Books- printed, tangible, bound- were our refuge and major source of all things wise and wonderful (our Lord God made them all). Our parents are the authority. So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
Fast forward. Our children watches TV while updating their Facebook while chatting online while listening to music while surfing the internet while texting while we give them our ten cents worth. Can we let them sit still, their eyes transfixed to us, their face glowing and savoring every word we say?
Well, then, IT is it. Yes, I use the tools. I show my appreciation by clicking Like. I get to meet some of their friends online, too. I send messages on FB and mobile phone. And kiss and huggs both on and offline.
However, there is one rule that is non-negotiable. The dining table is sacred. Eating together is a celebration of God's blessing. Turn off the TV. "Get out of the PC". Eat Bulaga, NBA, Ophra and American Idol will have to wait. So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
Lastly, I have thought of a way to nag even if my Lolek will be living away from home. I prepared a powerpoint presentation (see attached) of my "sermon" complete with pictures. Saved it on his desktop so he can open the file easily. I presented "How to Enjoy University Years to the Max" while we were in a coffee shop. My reward - a long and tight hug and thank you from Lolek. In public.

Reinstate O2 shops lifting giffgaff adult restrictio
Not For Us
See above - The system upgrade was to eliminate 'money going elsewhere. Take O2 Priority Moments for example, O2 would 'waste' money of marketing if all giffgaff users used the service, so they upgraded that and all marketing campaigns and systems to prevent other MVNO networks off o2 to use the system.
Yup - Well said!
You're welcome Rochessel, very welcome .
you could be more cycnical and say that giffgaff don't get the support needed cos in the long term O2 actually are just running giffgaff as a tax right-off & experiment... when (hopefully not) it fails due to issues like this O2 can claim they tried the whole 'social' experiment & it failed...
sure the sums involved aren't as high as Voda's tax deal with hmrc but... fairly easy way to 'lose' say £50m or £80m over the 5 year deal...
I don't see how anyone can demand O2 restart something it may have removed after discovery it was inadvertently providing it. It makes some products and facilities available to customers of any network, but isn't obliged to do so.

Going dark
My son Ben turned me on last night to Blackle.com, a customized front end for Google search that does away with color and presents search results in simple white text on a black screen. The site's premise is that a computer monitor needs less electricity to display black and a little white than it does to display colors and a mostly white screen, as the regular Google does.
As of this morning, Blackle claimed to have saved about 1.8 megawatt-hours of electrcity. Calculations I did recently for another purpose suggest this is the amount of electricity that about 2,220 typical New York state homes uses in an hour. (According to the US EIA, the average NYS home in 2008 used 592 kilowatt-hours a month, which reduces to 810 watts an hour.)
A much smarter blogger than I, Carl Bialik, "The Numbers Guy" at the Wall Street Journal, wrote last month that Blacke's claim deserves a large asterisk. Drawing on some quicks field tests he arranged, Bialik wrote that old CRT monitors do use noticably more energy to display color but newer LCD monitor's don't. Most people use the latter these days.
The Blackle folks argue that every little bit helps.
By the way, if black isn't your thing, there are purple, pink, green, blue and a bunch of other colored front ends for Google. Google, by the way, has nothing to do with any of them, and none but Blackle seem to claim any particular advantage over the original.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Oluwadare, Boaz Olufemi URN etd-06022012-195736 Document Title A critical analysis of the outcomes of different funding streams impact on job creation in small businesses in Gauteng Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr S Rozyn Supervisor Keywords
- gauteng
- funding
- job creation
Date 2011-04-21 Availability unrestricted AbstractPurpose- It is well-known that small businesses play a pivotal role in creating jobs and this is especially true in the economy of South Africa today. Enough cannot be said concerning the high unemployment rate prevalent in the country which if the right interventions are not put in place, this negative trend will continue. This unfavourable situation inspired the researcher to begin to consider the critical factors that drive entrepreneurship globally and discovered that funding is a major factor to be considered for the sustainability of any business whether the business is large or small. This study investigates the impact, the following funding streams; personal funds, Venture capital, Government funding and Bank loans exert on job creation in small businesses in Gauteng.
Methodology- A mixed method approach was implemented with two interviews with experts in the financial sector for the qualitative component and the survey with questionnaires completed by entrepreneurs of start-up enterprises for the quantitative part of the report.
Results-From the research findings, the researcher should have a clearer picture of how these funding streams impact the growth of the businesses in terms of job creation.,/p>

Rode there this morning and had a blast. The Nemba and ridge trails are some of the best rock riding in New England, up there with Nam, Lynn and Arcadia, IMO.
I tried adding some extra mileage in by checked out some nearby riding in Sharon. Place called King Philips Rock. Its about a half mile of road away from the end of the Northwest Trail. When you pop out of the end of the NW trail, Mansfield Street is just across the street. The trails were pretty fun, old moto trails, but it looks like its just been bike and foot traffic lately. If you're looking to extend your ride, check it out. Map available here.

DAYTON, Ohio – More than three-fourths (79 percent) of retailers say their companies have been victimized by organized retail crime, according to the 2007 Organized Retail Crime Survey conducted by the National Retail Federation (NRF).
While the use of technology to commit fraud has been one of organized crime's tricks of the trade, NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) is using its own technology expertise to help retailers reduce inventory shrinkage caused by sales receipt fraud. NCR announced the addition of two new security inks to its NCR Security Point-of-Sale (POS) Paper Roll portfolio.
"Retail crime and receipt fraud are critical issues for retailers around the world. In fact, one major retailer reported that just one roll of counterfeit receipts could amount to a loss of $10,000 dollars," said Dan Bogan, senior vice president and general manager of NCR's Systemedia Division, the world's largest provider of POS paper rolls.. "With the latest enhancements to the NCR Security POS Paper Roll solution, we can now offer retailers eight different security inks – each one designed to deter criminals from copying or manipulating POS sales receipts."
NCR is the first to develop a comprehensive paper roll inking solution designed to help retailers track, deter and catch POS receipt fraud, specifically return fraud. Return fraud occurs when a criminal shoplifts from a store and then attempts to return items with a fraudulent receipt in order to receive a refund. According to NRF's 2007 Return Fraud Survey, losses from return fraud were estimated at $10.8 billion in 2007, with nine out of ten retailers (92 percent) saying they have had stolen merchandise returned to stores.
The two new security inks added to the NCR Security POS Paper Roll portfolio include:
Uncoated Side Security Ink – With this ink, the security paper roll features clear-to-color ink that prints white but shows color when scratched. The solution is easy to implement and does not require special detection devices at the POS.
Coated Side Security Ink – This security paper roll offers white ink printed on the coated side of thermal paper, and is well suited for NCR's patented Two-Sided Thermal Receipt Printing (2STTM) applications. The patented security ink for coated thermal paper also includes a printed faux watermark that cannot be copied.

I would really like to thank you for making my Honeymoon a really memorable one by making sure that there are no hassles while planning the trip and during the trip. Before, reaching out to Trawelmart, I contacted several big names in the travel industry but there prices was really high and for any tweaking of dates or rooms, the price would go up beyond reach. I am really glad that I got in touch with trawelmart, which made things really easy for me and made sure that the trip doesn't too hard on my pocket. Apart from that, you entertained all the tweaking I asked for while planning the trip, be it the dates, rooms, or flight timings and flights itself. All the arrangements were already made in Maldives and I didn't have to take any trouble during my stay. I was also welcomed with a small Honeymoon token like Champagne and fruit basket. Everything was taken care off and was delivered whatever was promised. There were no false promises made and I am really happy for that. I am really thankful to you and delighted with the experience I had with your service and will surely come back to you for future travels. Also, would recommend all my friends to get in touch with you whenever planning a trip in India or Abroad....

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is an abnormal growth of cells on the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Babies grow in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus.
CIN is not cancer, but it can become cancer of the cervix if it is not treated.
You have a greater risk for CIN if:
Usually CIN does not cause symptoms. Sometimes it causes bleeding during or after sex or a change in vaginal discharge.
A Pap test can find cell changes in the cervix. If it does, then a follow-up exam called a colposcopy may be done. A colposcopy gives your healthcare provider a closer look at the cervix. The colposcope is a kind of microscope attached to a stand. It is placed just outside the vagina. It acts like a magnifying glass and makes it easier to see the cells of the skin of the vulva, vagina, and cervix. Your provider may use an instrument to remove one or more small pieces of tissue for lab tests. The removal of the sample tissue is called a biopsy.
Your provider may recommend treatment of CIN to try to help stop it from becoming cancer. The type of treatment may depend on whether the CIN is mild, moderate, or severe.
Very few women have trouble getting pregnant or miscarriages as a result of any of these treatments. Most women are able to carry a baby to term without problems. However, if you get pregnant, you should tell your prenatal care provider about any cervical treatments you have had.
After a Pap test that shows CIN, follow your healthcare provider's advice for treatment and checkups. Your provider may recommend that you have a Pap test at least twice a year for the next 2 to 3 years. This will let your provider find CIN if it comes back and treat it promptly. If your Pap tests are normal for 2 to 3 years, you may then need a Pap test just once a year.
To lower your risk of CIN:

I've always know I should, but was a hit and miss flosser. I had a date coming up that wasn't a very pleasant one, and afterward I'm made sure to floss everyday, and remind myself I'm cleaning my self away from a bad thing.
It was good on several levels.

I honestly don't get this product. I am a real highlighter h00r but still am totally baffled over the hype over Guerlain Ballz and Meteorites. It gives a very powdery/glittery/sparkly highlight that looks artificial . I have combo skin, and don't find this to really help my skin look more dewy. It doesn't help prolong foundation wear either. I guess if you are a fan of the Meteorites, this would be a handy "on the go" powder for travelling purposes. However, it's quite unsanitary to use as you can't take off the sponge applicator to wash without ripping or destroying it.
The packaging is pretty though. And I am partial to the scent. I just never find myself reaching for this.

I was really skeptical when I bought this, due to the reviews received. Am loving it for travel purposes, I use it as a touch-up face powder. Not too shimmery at all when applied with light hand. 1st time use, was abit wasteful. I couldnt see any product application, and puffed like crazy!
But thereafter, product applies easily. I dont use it everyday - so i dont foresee it finishing so soon. I'm just worried about hygiene factors - not being able to wash the sponge. I got inspiration off this to pound my Meteorites balls version to powder. Now they apply much faster!
I used to have to swipe 10 times just to get something to show from Meteorites balls. lol.
Took a lippie off for the price. Too much $ for too little product.

I hate it- that's it~ it's way too glittery and shimmery...
I heared so many good reviews about this product... internationally...but I'm not thrilled with the product at all~..
and... the powder comes out of the size of the container!!! does it happen to everyone's container?? or is mine a faulty product??? well.. everytime I puff or open the lid/close the lid, the powder comes out from the sides........ so much excess powder just comes out.. and I tried to tighten it... but its already tight!!!! for $90 AU it's not worth it.. seriously.. NARS multiple stick is so much better as a highlighter....
so disapppointed and I wanna give a zero!
This was picked up in Duty Free and was $46 (Canadian). I would agree with the earlier reviewer regarding the amount of product that is used in such a short space of time. Having said that it does impart a wonderful glow-like finish on the skin and I would say this makes it worth the money but I am at the age when this is very important so keep that in mind.

Well, I love all things Meteorites, so naturally, when Guerlain came out with a "travel friendly" version, I had to splurge. BTW, this is a brand new addition to the line (August 2008) so I haven't seen it in Sephora yet, only at the dept. stores. This is a small container with powdered version of Mythic 01 colour of Meteorites (so not the little balls, but powder) and on the top of the container is attached a sponge-y puff. There is a hole at the top pf the container and the powder "seeps" through the puff in a controlled amount and you sweep it across the face. Not an ultra-new concept (actually, if you know Guerlain line, they already have a line of loose powders that come in similar containers). I have also seen some other makeup brands with the similar container idea, so as I already said, nothing revolutionary, but it works. I love the concept as it makes the application of Meteorites even faster than before, plus, there is no need to carry both the brush and the big box of Meteorites with you. Great concept and love the product, but it is pricey, especially, since I am getting a feeling using this for the last week that you use up a lot more product this way than simply with Meteorites balls and brush. We'll see. The colour this currently comes in is Mythic 01, which is a fairly standard and generic illuminator for the face. It is exactly the same as the standard Meteorites balls or compact in Mythic. Great product and highly recommended, especially if you are traveling frequently and hate to carry the brush and box with you everywhere. UPDATE: I am sorry my beloved Guerlain, taking one lippy off as this product visibly disappears from my pot every time I use it!!!! For some reason, a LOT more product is used this way than with the traditional Meteorites "brush and balls" system. I love the concept, but if I continue at this rate I will use up the entire package in less than a month!

This product has been discontinued
Discovered this gem at Big Lots a few weeks ago. They had my shade, Ivory, which I immediately snapped up for $2. Why did they discontinue this stuff? It is amazing! Very natural looking, yet build-able at the same time. It doesn't irritate my face, and blends nicely with a kabuki brush.

I fell in love with this powder foundation. I loved the spf and the build-able coverage. I even liked this foundation more than Bare Minerals. This foundation never broke out my sensitive skin unlike most drugstore foundations. I am extremely disappointed to see it be discontinued by Maybelline and have not found it for sale elsewhere. If I do find it for sale on a website in the future I will be purchasing.
More reviews by Daisygiannetta
as far as powder foundations go, this one was ok. it gave decent coverage, I found that it didn't take long before I needed to touch up. when I did touch up it seemed to just cake up and look messy. it was almost as if the more I put on the crappier it looked. my skin gets kinda dry in the winter and then oily in the summer. it kind of melts off my t zone and my skin doesn't even get THAT oily. I found that it also easily transferred. when I would come home from school I would see that there was foundation around the neck of my sweatshirt, and it was impossible to blow my nose without it wiping all of it off. and it also oxidizes throughout the day, not too much though. overall I wouldn't purchase this again for the reasons I mentioned and because im not using powder foundation anymore and im aslo moving onto cruelty free makeup brands, which Maybelline isnt
I love this powder. I have combination skin and this powder cover up my oily t-zone but doesn't make my dry skin look flaky. They also have a nice color selection. I don't really like the packaging, and I don't like the sponge applicator inside the compact. I always take mine out and through it away, because it's always falling out and I never use it anyway.
I really liked this product! It was set my makeup nicely and covered everything up. It gave it a nice matte look which I love...I'd defiantly go out and buy this product again and recommend it :)
I like this powder but I wouldn't repurchase. I feel like it can look a bit chalky and tends to cling to my dry patches.
LOVE this product. So sad it was discontinued. I've searched for it everywhere but ended up grabbing Rimmel Stay Matte and it seems to be good stuff with a SUPER cheap price. If anyone finds a good one like pure stay that would be awesome if you could post it here!

The HTC Droid DNA and the 1080p alternatives to look forward to
But are any HTC Droid DNA alternatives due to arrive anytime soon? Is any other manufacturer going to introduce a smartphone with a 1080p display? You betcha! In fact, we believe that more than a few of them will be coming in a few months.
Rumor has it that Sony is working on a couple of high-end devices – the C660x Yuga and the C650x Odin. It is speculated that both of them will have displays with resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, and will be powered by Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip – specs identical to those of the Droid DNA. However, these two are not likely to be released anytime soon. It will be at least a few more months before we see these two hit the shelves, if they are indeed meant to see the light of day, that is.
LG. It already demonstrated such a panel, measuring 5 inches and made using a technology called Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS for short). Unfortunately, we don't really have any clues indicating that the manufacturer is indeed working on such a handset, although it won't be surprising if leaks and rumors start circulating the blogosphere sooner than later. If LG is really going to launch a Droid DNA rival, that will surely happen no sooner than H1 of 2013.

what about the phone from oppo find?
it is 6.65 mm thick

11. Twisted247 (Posts: 260; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Articles have already been released about the oppo find 5. It is no longer 6.65 that was pre production. The model that will release will be 8-9mm thick. Search here on PA you'll find it.
24. linneti15 (Posts: 49; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
The original oppo find didn't have 1080p and was 6.65mm thick, it was production though not pre-production. The newer Oppo Find 5 has 1080p but while still very thin, is about the same as other high end smartphones these days
2. darkskoliro (Posts: 997; Member since: 07 May 2012)
I think this is about as good as it gets for the 5" 1080p.
4. darkskoliro (Posts: 997; Member since: 07 May 2012)
any reports for an international version?
8. IliyaBeshkov (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
Maybe the HTC J Butterfly.
9. darkskoliro (Posts: 997; Member since: 07 May 2012)
japanese exclusive :\
13. IliyaBeshkov (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
Yes, but the designs of both DNA(US) and Butterfly(Japanese) are identical and the hardware is the same :)
14. darkskoliro (Posts: 997; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Micro sd card on J though :)
Hopefully 2500 and sd card for an international!

23. darkskoliro (Posts: 997; Member since: 07 May 2012)
actually to answer my own question its going to be the HTC DLX. Hopefully 2500mAh with 64gb!

Sob, a 1080p Note 3 at 5.8" would be slick as all hell.
12. redmd (Posts: 911; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
and probably 4000mAh battery.sweet!
17. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1292; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
At 5.8" I can't imagine any hardware buttons. 2013 is going to be the year of 1080p.
5. redsox420 (Posts: 90; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
if HTC wants to make money again, they will make this available to ALL MAJOR US carriers ASAP.. I would get this over the Note 2, if ATT had it. But nope. HTC is bleeding hundreds of millions each year and they stick to 1 phone per carrier.
Any battery mention is it still 2020 mAh?
6. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
i agree with the "expanding availablity" part that would indeed gain peoples interest and would help make this a HUGE success as it is already a success in my book...........as for the 2020 battery? Well they are saying the screen is supposed to help out on not draining battery as much so lets hope this is true.........all in all we gotta wait for a NON BIASED review on it.........still worth the money imo
10. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
The J Butterfly might make it here, but don't expect it to exactly match the Droid DNA in specs, something will be changed and omitted. This phone would be killer if that batter was at least 2500mAh, I don't care how miserly the screen technology is, the fact that the screen is so large and believe you me owners will be on that thing like crazy 2020mAh is just too small.
HTC should have realized that if you give someone a smart phone with such high specs odds are they are going to use that thing quite a bit and the Droid line is known for touting power and performance...the Razr is a performance and power king, no less that 2500mAh should be allowed on 4" screen phones. Who wants a powerful phone that you can barely use and worse yet when that battery charge runs crappy in a year and a half you can't get a new battery because it's a sealed phone...bad idea. It's still an impressive phone though if the battery tests prove to be on the good side I might get this instead of the Razr HD Maxx.
21. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
indeed cant deny that im waiting to see how it holds up in the battery department either.........hopefully its "good" like the rest of their phones.......not great but decent........and thats "hopefully" it is........we'll see though soon enough
20. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
The problem is HTC will not do that, Droid DNA is not a flagship phone. The Droid line is a Verizon exclusive. Just wait for the DLX
18. dla0052 (Posts: 9; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
2020mAh battery, no expandable storage and non-removable battery? Why does HTC keep on shooting themselves in the foot with the new phones they have been releasing lately? They need to go back to 2010-2011 when they were relevant and rediscover what made them successful. The original EVO was an awesome phone, they should have kept building on that instead of trying to get too fancy! I get the specs are on par and even exceed the Samsung Galaxy line but some of these features are make or break for a large chunk of consumers.
