The Board of Commissioners of Ocean Beach Hospital and Medical Clinics – also known as Public Hospital District #3 of Pacific County – voted Jan. 28 to enter into formal affiliation discussions with PeaceHealth. PeaceHealth already provides Ocean Beach Hospital with management and support services, including executive leadership. It is likely to take several months of work before the nature of the affiliation will be finalized.PeaceHealth has been good for Ocean Beach and our community, and this is a natural step in the evolution of the relationship," said Darren Thorsen, chair of the Board of Commissioners of Pacific County Public Hospital District 3, which also serves as the hospital board. "It's harder than ever before for independent community hospitals to thrive without strong affiliations."

Wow….I admit, I'm an Instagram junkie. I love the app, but I'll definitely be deleting my account before the January deadline. I seriously love this guys 'translation' of the new legalese.
(CNET) Instagram said today that it has the perpetual right to sell users' photographs without payment or notification, a dramatic policy shift that quickly sparked a public outcry.
The new intellectual property policy, which takes effect on January 16, comes three months after Facebook completed its acquisition of the popular photo-sharing site. Unless Instagram users delete their accounts before the January deadline, they cannot opt out.
Under the new policy, Facebook claims the perpetual right to license all public Instagram photos to companies or any other organization, including for advertising purposes, which would effectively transform the Web site into the world's largest stock photo agency. One irked Twitter userquipped that "Instagram is now the new iStockPhoto, except they won't have to pay youanything to use your images."

Sean bought me the latest Belle and Sebastian CD on Saturday & we listened to it in the car on the way to Dungog, Sunday.
It was LOVELY! Really lovely.

Smitten kittens!
We escape the madding crowds
After we'd been to Jen's (and Sean helped Daniel build a small deck!) we drove around and checked out where things are.
We found the River so I took some photos for the Blog.
When I was standing looking into this clear water at the riverstones I felt so clearheaded. I cannot explain what I mean exactly, it's been a fairly intense time in our household and this moment just felt cleansing I guess. And no, tempted as I was, I didn't take off my boots & pantyhose & paddle. It was a tad chilly for that. Maybe next time though.
While I'm here, I just wanted to say that I am not a 'professional Blogger' who writes seven Blogs on a Sunday and releases them one day at a time throughout the week. I blog sporadically if I have some news to impart. I do like to occasionally visit the Blogs of "serious Bloggers" but confess that I do not fully relate to that interpretation of what Blogs are about. I am not criticising that approach, more letting you know that you'll be disappointed if you are expecting such standards here. To be honest I simply do not have enough time to Blog regularly. Certainly not daily. Whilst I've been blogging this morning I have also been making replacement Anorak greeting cards & badge sets; composing an updated To Do list in order of priority; doing laundry (ah the glamour) and shooing Jake (neighbour's Grandson) off the mud patch out the front where my tree once stood. Believe me - it is ugly enough out there without him adding to the general mess. That reminds me - time to phone the Water Corp about the turf & replacement tree they've offered.
Water's fury
But I digress into residual crankiness.
Anyways....one of the reasons my Mum bought this house (and we then bought it from her several years later) was because of a lovely, unusually shaped tree out the front of the main bedroom on the other side of the footpath. It was, I'm told, over 20 years old. It had survived the annual savaging by Energy Australia in good grace. Sure it had a rather unique profile due to the apparent dislike/disrespect those "arborists" displayed year after year - but we loved it for it's flaws not despite them. And so did the doves who nested in it. And the fruit bats that came annually to eat it's fruit and chatter all night.
Enough of my raving though.
Here are some photos of the result:
It is a First World Problem.
But one that I had.

Tammy Shire, a divorced single mother of three teenagers, had been struggling financially for over ten years. When she was laid off from her construction management job the downward spiral accelerated and she lost her home to foreclosure. Desperate for help, Tammy found the OLHSA Livingston County office in Howell and we helped her enroll in the HPRP Rapid Rehousing Program. Through this program Tammy is able to receive financial assistance that has helped her family to move into a rental home and avoid homelessness, even allowing her children to stay in the same school.
As her situation improved, Tammy vowed she would pay her assistance forward. She has followed through by recruiting local support for the 2010 Walk for Warmth, which raises funds to help people facing heating emergencies. She brought her own team to walk at the event and provided on-site help. Tammy has also helped organize group case management classes for OLHSA's homeless clients, coordinate a Saturday Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) site, and she provides administrative support for OLHSA's Guardianship Program.
Tammy faced what could have been a devastating situation for her family and has emerged with renewed hope and a strong plan for the future. Not only does she appreciate the help she has been given, she is actively giving back to the community and teaching her children to do the same. Tammy truly is a shining example of the reason why OLHSA provides help to those in need.
"You are the angel that wrapped its wings around us and set me on a course of recovery and success," said Tammy.

The way players increase their potential in this game is not through the typical slow and grinding process. In Edreoll, players must partake in Missions and Area Stages in order to improve themselves.
In your journey, you will have a journal, which keeps track of things you must do, things you have accomplished, and a small atlas of the world map. It is your personal diary for your travels.
When you speak to an NPC, or trigger any sort of event in the game, a Task might appear in your Task List. These are small goals you must complete, but will reward you with spheara, items or stat experience. Consider these to be like "Quests" in modern MMORPGs. However, many of these are usually optional and are not needed to progress.
Missions are usually very important. when you accept a mission, you are transported to an area where you must complete the stage with certain goals met. These might be dungeons, wild areas, and other dangerous places. also, Missions are the only place where you will be able to improve your abilities and stats (except for Tasks). Many Missions have time limits, but others do not.
If you happen to complete a mission successfully, the experiences for your stats and abilities will be added to your current scores, and could very well level the abilities and/or stats! You might even get special bonuses for doing Missions quickly or in a certain way. You want to achieve the most points in a Mission so that your character improves faster.
However, if you happen to lose the conditions met, or you are defeated, you will not gain any experience towards abilities or stats, and the items you have collected within will disappear. Furthermore, if you do not have any more lives (all players have a max of 3, and 3 initially), you will lose all experience in stats and abilities, and will be teleported to the Spirit Realm.
Edreoll's world is separated into other maps. In order to travel from one specific location to the other, you must first complete the stages along the way. say you need to get from one town to another. Area Stages are maps in which you must explore and achieve certain goals in order to pass. Sometimes it is defeating all enemies, and other times it could be a key. There will be quite a variety out there.
Area stages are exactly like Missions. However, these are mandatory for you to progress on the world map, or in large dungeons.
-- (Missions and Area Stages) With Groups --
It is a good idea to have a group when doing missions. That way, you can clear them a lot faster and safer. However, you can only pair with other characters whose stat levels combined are within 10 points of yours (e.g.: You:20, Them:10-30). No experience penalties are given to the number of group members in the team.
-- Mission Maps are Instanced!! --
when you make a group, your Mission's map is instanced, and is accessible only to you and your group members (Besides GMs). Map instancing means that it copies a map from a template and pastes it in the world's data, thus making a personal copy of the map for you.

Yes, Samsung is in the news again, so today is really no different than any other. Yes, the news is about a new cell phone and it's an ultra-thin model. In fact, they're claiming that the SPH-V8900 is the world's slimmest slider phone, and as expected from Samsung, they're packing in the features to accompany the pretty Korean spokeswomen (or just models, I'm not sure).
While the camera would be quite appealing here in the North American market, at 1.3 megapixels, it's not quite up to snuff for the people of Seoul, I would think, when they have cameraphones with 5+ megapixels readily available. What is nice is that there is a full suite of productivity applications, including an electronic dictionary, packaged in. Chances are it does multimedia and has some form of expansion, but they make no mention of it as of yet.
Expected to retail around $529 USD, the Samsung SPH-V8900 is a mere 13.8 mm thick. Now if someone could explain to me what holding this phone on the model's shoulder is supposed to demonstrate…

Heads up! Sveum caught in Yount's crossfire
DEC 04, 2012 7:47p ET
Sveum, who took over the Cubs last season after years as the Brewers hitting coach, joked about the friends' recent quail hunting trip in Arizona at the winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn.
"The bird went up in front of him, and I was about 50 yards up on the hill," Sveum told reporters on Tuesday. "He got the bird up and lost track of where I was and pulled the trigger and was like, 'Uh oh.' I was looking for birds myself ,and he was behind me. I got drilled with pellets in the back and the ear."
Sveum, who played with Yount from 1986-91, didn't need stitches, but he said there was plenty of blood as Yount took down both the bird and his friend. Apparently, the duo has had close calls before.
"We do it all the time," Sveum said. "Not that close all the time, but we do get BB's fall on us."

So Ferarri has been doing pretty well for itself lately. Even in these more difficult times they declared a 54 million euro profit for the first quarter of 2009. They have done better but they are still making profit so good for them. Anyway down to business; do you remember the Ferrari Scuderia that came out a few years back? Well the Italian automaker has come out with a topless version of this beautiful car called the 16M Scuderia Spider. Normally a car we have all seen, coming out with a topless version would not lead me to posting about it but this topless Ferrari is different. Why? Well it is being said that this new Spider may very well be the fastest open Ferarri out there. I don't know about you but the ability to go faster has always reserved a post on my blog! The reason for Ferrari releasing this Open Scuderia to the world is in celebration of the top version winning its 16th formula 1 championship.
In terms of the look, it is no mystery that the 16M strongly resembles the very popular F430. The body is relatively the same with some added improvements like the body kit and extra vents on the side skirt and side bumper as well as few other appendages.
Pulling the switch and opening the hood, a 4.3L V8 engine is revealed to us, roaring out 503hp and 347lb-ft of torque. One of the things that have been changed from the regular Scuderia which stands out would be the exhaust tone. At low revs the tone has been minimized for a more comfortable cruise while revving this Italian beast past 4000 rpm will unleash a roar heard by all the neighbors, for the next 10 blocks. Motor Trend's best results with the 16M reached 60mph in a short 3,8 seconds – impressive.
My Thoughts: Personally, I'm a big fan of the F430 so any new and improved model resembling that car has a few automatic points in my book. Basically the car looks hot, the performance sounds hot and it makes me hot!
Thumbs up! With cars like this, it is no wonder Ferrari is still holding up even in tougher times.
Found a few good videos, one of some guy taking the 16M out on the Autobahn for a nice speed and the other giving you some more angles of the car. Enjoy!

Britain's Got Talent 2012 kicked off on Saturday night, unearthing a pop opera duo that has taken the world by storm – Jonathan and Charlotte.
Jonathan, in particular, captured the attention of Simon Cowell and has since been dubbed the new Susan Boy-le.
The 17-year-old has an incredible voice, but just like Susan, doesn't quite fit the stereotypical image of a music star.
Jonathan has insisted he doesn't want a makeover, but admits that being overweight does get him down.
In an interview with new! magazine, he said: "My weight affects my confidence and I was bullied when I was younger.
"I have tried to diet but it's not worked. I continue to try – but I don't think my weight is holding me back."
In another interview, the shy singer said he would like to lose weight, but purely for health reasons. "It's not important to me from an image point of view. I am the way I am and I always will be."
Jonathan added: "I know I don't look like a standard performer. I just went out there in my normal clothes, so I expected there would be a little bit of a reaction. I was hoping our performance would show them differently."
It certainly did just that. Jonathan and Charlotte's audition for the show has already attracted millions of views on YouTube and the talented duo's performance has won praise from music lovers around the world.
Has show one of BGT unearthed this year's winner? There's a long way to go but Jonathan and Charlotte have certainly made an impact and proved that Britain really does have Talent.

(ed note: Fallulah is a perfect example of why we started Nordic Spotlight. Back in May I was lucky enough to experience Maria Apetri and band perform at the Spot Festival in their home country of Denmark. It was a packed house of fans jumping up and down, cheering, and the band was on fire. A spectacular show! Here in America word has not spread enough (yet)...so listen up America...hop on this bandwagon...and do it now!)
Landing just a few hours before the show and as jetlagged as they were...you would never have known it. Fallulah jumped right in with the energy of a little pink bunny hitting a bass-drum.
Tonight's show at Littlefield was in support of Tinderbox Music Festival (see below).
Fallulah's sound is tough to sum up in one genre - she grabs pieces of blues, jazz, pop, and Baltic rhythms – throws it into a blender, presses mix, and pours out a delicious smoothie of awesomeness.
Fallulah's voice is well-rounded with a touch of rasp that floats playfully yet intently through her melodies. Backed by a tight band of musicians that create a soundscape, from the slow and dramatic "Give Us a Little Love" to the grooving thumpiness of "Only Human" all while having fun up there. The band also adds extra elements that takes the studio recordings to the next level and the backing vocals perfectly compliment her.
As the group warmed up you could witness a transformation in the performance and Fallulah herself started demonstrating her wonderful footwork skills. Bouncing around, she energizing her vocals even more, and turned a tambourine into a stylistic headpiece...all with a giant smile.
She joyfully played with the audience "I wonder why people stand so for from the stage? I'm not that scary...I'll play something up-tempo so move forward!" which the crowd immediately followed her simple request and starts dancing.
"New York You are My Concrete Lover" which was written after she spent some time in NYC...she stated, "5 years ago I wanted to do music for the rest of my life...I fell in love with NY, so I wanted to write a love song" And with that the band rips into a punk-style rocker that really captured the essence of what is all New York City
Unfortunately for the audience, these CMJ sets are usually short, which they closed out with a nice little number called, "Bridges"
New York is ecstatic that you consider us your concrete lover…please call us anytime….we'll be sure to 'pick up the phone'.

Here's a shot from the 2011 Spot Festival in Århus, Denmark.

McLaren lived up to their pre-race billing, which had pegged them to be the fastest round the very quick Monza track, during the opening practice session in Italy. But in the afternoon Red Bull surprised the field by outpacing the British team. We take a team-by-team look at early progress in Italy
Lewis Hamilton, 1m 23.865s, P1/1m 24.046s, P2
Jenson Button, 1m 24.786s, P2/1m 24.508s, P7
Both McLarens ran more downforce than their rivals yet were very quick, and Hamilton set the best time of the day and was competitive with a heavier fuel load in the afternoon. Both drivers are feeling very optimistic about their chances.
Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel, 1m 25.231s, P3/1m 24.010s, P1
Mark Webber, 1m 25.459s, P4/1m 24.468s, P6
Vettel said hed had interesting day, and that he was happy with his Red Bulls speed in low-downforce mode. Webber too was happy and that they have plenty of data to process tonight.
Michael Schumacher, 1m 26.699s, P11/1m 24.347s, P3
Nico Rosberg, 1m 27.492s, P18/1m 29.184s, P22
No problems for Schumacher as he made the most of Mercedes high straight-line speed. But lots of KERS problems for Rosberg, though they did not fully explain the five-second difference in lap time.
Felipe Massa, 1m 26.676s, P8/1m 24.366s, P4
Fernando Alonso, 1m 26.647s, P7/1m 24.433s, P5
No real problems at Ferrari, apart from the need to improve a little in terms of speed.
Sergio Perez 1m 26.694s, P9/1m 25.097s, P8
Kamui Kobayashi, 1m 26.996s, P14/1m 25.182s, P9
Perez reported a positive day, better than expected, as Saubers low-downforce set-up worked well for the Mexican. Kobayashi wasnt far behind, but said his car needed more work to sort out.
Bruno Senna, 1m 27.385s, P16/1m 25.325s, P10
Vitaly Petrov, 1m 26.625s, P6/1m 25.450s, P11
The atmosphere at Renault is a lot more upbeat since Senna came into the fold. There were no real problems, and the Brazilian was grateful for a straightforward day after his dramas in FP1 and FP2 at Spa.
Force India
Adrian Sutil, 1m 26.550s, P5/1m 25.496s, P12
Paul di Resta (pm only), 1m 25.683s, P13
Nico Hulkenberg (am only) 1m 26.826s, P12
There were no real problems for Force India, as Sutil and Di Resta indicated that they will be contenders for Q3 tomorrow on a track that suits the VJM04s characteristics.
Toro Rosso
Jaime Alguersuari, 1m 26.696s, P10/1m 25.758s, P14
Sebastien Buemi, 1m 27.433s, P17/1m 28.347s, P17
Alguersuari was in good form once again, despite a minor contretemps with Sutil in the first chicane in the afternoon which the stewards ruled a racing incident. Buemi, however, had a tough day. Things were okay in the morning but in the afternoon he had a heavy off at Parabolica after making a mistake.
Rubens Barrichello, 1m 26.836s, P13/1m 26.202s, P15
Pastor Maldonado, 1m 27.365s, P15/1m 26.353s, P16
The Williamses werent fast enough, and Barrichello reported some blistering on the option tyres.
Jarno Trulli (pm only), 1m 28.559s, P18
Heikki Kovalainen, 1m 29.539s, P19/1m 28.605s, P19
Karun Chandhok (am only), 1m 30.148s, P20
Trulli missed out the morning session but got going well in the afternoon, when he was troubled by excessive understeer. Kovalainen lost time with a gearbox sensor problem in the morning and was told to pull off as engine temperatures rose, and said there was room for improvement after his afternoon run.
Timo Glock, 1m 31.052s, P23/1m 28.804s, P20
Jerome D'Ambrosio, 1m 31.899s, P24/1m 29.622s, P23
Glock had a heavily revamped Virgin VR-02 - with new sidepods, floor and exhausts - at his disposal but lost valuable time in the morning with sensor and electronic problems. He also had to go through painstaking and slow data-collection laps at the end when everyone else as going for a time. But he going well in the afternoon and was very close to the Lotuses to the teams delight. DAmbrosio had an engine problem on his standard car in the morning and lost a lot of time, but at least he had collected the necessary data before he was struck down.
Tonio Liuzzi, 1m 30.619s, P22/1m 29.162s, P21
Daniel Ricciardo, 1m 30.609s, P21/1m 29.841s, P24
Liuzzi reported a good day at HRT, but Ricciardos afternoon session was interrupted by electrical problems which cost him an hour in the garage.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has watched the 20 Republican debates. And he doesn't like what he sees. Unlike the candidates and some in the conservative cognescenti, Bush doesn't seem to be on a blame-the-media jihad. He thinks the candidates have problems in and of themselves.
"I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that's kind of where we are," former Florida governor Jeb Bush said after a Thursday Dallas speech, according to Fox News reported. "I think it changes when we get to the general election. I hope."
Bush didn't give specifics, though his concern about the GOP's tone over the immigration debate is longstanding. Bush also didn't single out any candidates, but his comments tellingly follow the last debate where former Penn. Sen. Rick Santorum essentially dissed Bush's brother's singular education reform plan: No Child Left Behind.
More broadly, as the Washington Post points out, Santorum sounded anything but optimistic when he said: "We hear this all time -- so you cut spending, limit the government, everything will be fine. No, everything's not going to be fine."
Santorum, who did poorly in the debate, blamed his performance on what he said was a pro-Romney crowd. Earlier in the week, the pro-Romney Drudge Report dredged up a 2008 speech at Catholic Ave Maria University where Santorum said Satan was targeting the United States.
Right now, national polls indicate President Obama would beat any Republican candidate by a slim margin, but Romney matches up best against him. Still, as the primary drags on, Romney's favorability ratings are slipping.
« Daily Digest for Friday, 2/24 | Main | Obama talks oil, drilling, energy but never says 'Solyndra,' 'Keystone' or 'Bush' »
Jeb finds "fear" mongering by GOP candidates "a little troubling." Paging Rick Santorum?

Americans just aren't stupid enough to vote for another Bush, ever again.
Jeb Bush, Florida's #1 ADA Violator, who thumbed his nose at the Americans with Disabilities Act, never corrected the Govenor Chiles failure, that of creating an ADA tranistion plan. His entire 8 years as Governor were that of ADA violator. His restrooms for the general public on all his government office floors could not be used by someone in a wheelchair. When I published the ADA Capitol Report on the barriers, the Bush Administration went behind the scenes to punish me. Ultimately I sued. The settlement to fix Bush's old restrooms is posted at www.dignity4disabled.com.
The bush legacy in Florida that boasts over 20% people with disabilities is "ADA Violator". And it was a man in a wheelchair, abused by Bush, who is cleaning up after ex-Governor Bush, who made people pay heavy prices for standing up to him.
The last person who should be involved with GOP leadership are the ADA violators, Bush, Crist and McCullum. Their legacy will outlive them.
Wow. Im impressed. So good that he too sees it. I too hope the Republicans can look to excite people not scare them. Excite them about the possibilities of things that could be accomplished if they all worked together. Its disgusting that any would want to just take down a president and have the whole country fail. Its like they get excited when there is bad news so they can say "See, he is a bad president".
Even Bush didnt fear monger like this except for after the 9/11 strike, which did have people fearful. He at least tried to comfort people saying the US would stand strong. and when he did things to help the country all would applaud. This new breed of GOPers is so angry and resentful and are happy when the country has bad news because they think its their way to take down Obama. Pretty sad when you want your own country to fail. What about patriotism? that seems to be gone now as Republicans tell the world what a mess the US is.

R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan — An Actor Who Made Small Roles Big
AP reported earlier this evening that actor Michael Clarke Duncan is dead at the age of 54. He was rushed to the hospital last month after he suffered a heart attack and spent a couple of weeks in the ICU before doctors moved him to a regular room. He was a huge man — almost 6 1/2 feet tall and about 300 pounds — who had converted to a vegetarian lifestyle a couple or three years ago. I've not seen any information about whether his size or weight contributed to his heart attack or whether it was one of those unfortunate events that happen to we frail human beings.
I'm genuinely sad to read of Duncan's death. There are few actors who make the movies they are in better and Duncan was one of them, though he never stole a flick again the way he did as John Coffey in The Green Mile. He was the bright spot in such forgettable movies as Armageddon, The Scorpion King, The Whole Nine Yards, Sin City, Talledega Nights, and Planet of the Apes. He lent his voice to a number of animated movies like Brother Bear and Kung-Fu Panda, and made a host of guest appearances on over a dozen television shows as well. What I liked most, though, is that he seemed like a man who thoroughly enjoyed his life without resorting to the sort of arrogant crapweaselry we see all too often from successful actors. He was a celebrity who I never saw flaunt his fame and I admired that.
Perhaps that humility came from his life before acting. He quit college and took work digging ditches and bouncing at bars to care for his sick mother. The bar experience led to bodyguard gigs in Los Angeles, which paid his bills while he looked for acting jobs. AFter the death of Notorious B.I.G., Duncan decided to go all-out as an actor and got a few roles as — what else? — a bouncer. Eventually, though, he got his big chance in The Green Mile and turned that performance into a career of which any actor would be proud.
My condolences to his family, his fiancee, and those who knew him and held him dear.

The Papanicolaou test (abbreviated as Pap test, known earlier as Pap smear, cervical smear, or smear test) is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially pre-cancerous and cancerous processes in the endocervical canal (transformation zone) of the female reproductive system. Unusual findings are often followed up by more sensitive diagnostic procedures, and, if warranted, interventions that aim to prevent progression to cervical cancer. The test was invented by and named after the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou.
A Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells from the outer opening of the cervix of the uterus and the endocervix. The cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia), which are caused by sexually transmitted human papillomaviruses. The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. The test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium. It remains the most common method of cervical screening in the United States, although the UK screening programmes changed their screening method to liquid-based cytology in 2008.[1]
In the United States Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65.[2] Guidelines on frequency vary from every three to five years.[2][3][4] If results are abnormal, and depending on the nature of the abnormality, the test may need to be repeated in six to twelve months.[5] If the abnormality requires closer scrutiny, the woman may be referred for detailed inspection of the cervix by colposcopy. The woman may also be referred for HPV DNA testing, which can serve as an adjunct to Pap testing. Additional biomarkers which may be applied as ancillary test with Pap test are evolving.[6]
Pap Tests commonly look for epithelial abnormalities/ metaplasia/ dysplasia/ borderline changes, all of which may be indicative of CIN. Nuclei will stain dark blue, squamous cells will stain green and keratinised cells will stain pink/ orange. Koilocytes may be observed where there is some dyskaryosis (of epithelium). The nucleus in koilocytes is typically irregular, indicating possible cause for concern; requiring further confirmatory screens and tests.
In addition, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) test may be performed either as indicated for abnormal Pap results, or in some cases dual testing is done, where both a Pap smear and HPV test are done.
Summary of Pap test indications | ||
woman's characteristic | indication | rationale |
never had sexual contact | no test | HPV usually transmitted by sexual contact[7] |
under age 21, regardless of sexual history | no test | more harms than benefits[8][9] |
age 20–25 until age 50–60 | test every 3–5 years if results normal | broad recommendation[7][10] |
over age 65; history of normal tests | no further testing | recommendation of USPSTF, ACOG, ACS and ASCP;[3][7][11][12] |
had total hysterectomy for non-cancer disease – cervix removed | no further testing | harms of screening after hysterectomy outweigh the benefits[8][9] |
had partial hysterectomy – cervix remains | continue testing as normal | |
has received HPV vaccine | continue testing as normal | vaccine does not cover all cancer-causing types of HPV[10] |
history of endometrial cancer | discontinue routine testing[13] | test no longer effective and likely to give false positive[13] |
Screening guidelines vary from country to country. In general, screening starts about the age of 20 or 25 and continues until about the age of 50 or 60.[11] Screening is typically recommended every three to five years, as long as results are normal.[7][10]
Women should wait a few years after they first have intercourse before they start screening, and should not be screened before age 21. American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and others recommend starting screening at age 21 (since that is a few years after initial sex for most American women).[3][14] Many other countries wait until age 25 or later to start screening. For instance, some parts of Great Britain start screening at age 25. ACOG's general recommendation is that women age 30-65 have an annual well-woman examination, that they not get annual Pap tests, and that they do get Pap tests at three-year intervals.[15]
Most women who contract HPV do so soon after becoming sexually active.[4][citation needed][dead link] It takes an average of a year, but can take up to four years, for a woman's immune system to control the initial infection. Screening during this period may show this immune reaction and repair as mild abnormalities, which are usually not associated with cervical cancer, but could cause the woman stress and result in further tests and possible treatment. Cervical cancer usually takes time to develop, so delaying the start of screening a few years poses little risk of missing a potentially precancerous lesion. For instance, screening women under age 25 does not decrease cancer rates under age 30.[16]
There is little or no benefit to screening women who have not had sexual contact. For example, United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends waiting at least three years after first sex.[7] HPV can be transmitted in sex between women, so women who have only had sex with other women should be screened, although they are at somewhat lower risk for cervical cancer.[17]
Guidelines on frequency of screening vary—typically every three to five years for those who have not had previous abnormal smears.[7][10] Some older recommendations suggested screening as frequently as every one to two years, however there is little evidence to support such frequent screening; annual screening has little benefit but leads to greatly increased cost and many unnecessary procedures and treatments.[3] It has been acknowledged since before 1980 that most women can be screened less often.[18] In some guidelines, frequency depends on age; for instance in Great Britain, screening is recommended every 3 years for women under 50, and every 5 years for those over.
Screening should stop about age 65 unless there is a recent abnormal tests or disease. There is probably no benefit screening women aged 60 or over whose previous tests have been negative.[12] If a woman's last three Pap results were normal, she can stop at age 65, according to the USPSTF, ACOG, ACS and ASCP;[3][7] England's NHS says 64. There is no need to continue screening after a complete hysterectomy for benign disease.
Pap smear screening is still recommended for those who have been vaccinated against HPV,[10] since the vaccines do not cover all of the HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. Also, the vaccine does not protect against HPV exposure before vaccination.
Women with a history of endometrial cancer should discontinue routine Pap tests.[13] Further tests are unlikely to detect recurrence of cancer but do bring the risk of giving false positive results, which would lead to unnecessary further testing.[13]
More frequent Pap smears may be needed to follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear, or after treatment for abnormal Pap or biopsy results, or after treatment for cancer.
For best results, a Pap test should not occur when a woman is menstruating. However, Pap smears can be performed during a woman's menstrual period, especially if the physician is using a liquid-based test; if bleeding is extremely heavy, endometrial cells can obscure cervical cells, and it is therefore inadvisable to have a Pap smear if bleeding is excessive.
Obtaining a pap smear should not cause pain,[19] but it can if the woman has certain untreated vaginal problems such as cervical stenosis or vaginismus, or if the person performing it is too harsh, or uses the wrong size speculum. Many women experience spotting or mild diarrhea afterward.
Many health care providers are under the false impression that only sterile water, or no lubricant at all, should be used to lubricate the speculum. This may result in unnecessary discomfort. A number of studies have shown that using a small amount of water-based gel lubricant does not interfere with, obscure, or distort the PAP smear. Further, cytology is not affected nor some STD testing.[20]
The health care worker begins by inserting a speculum into the woman's vagina, which spreads the vagina open and allows access to the cervix. The health care provider then collects a sample of cells from the outer opening or os of the cervix by scraping it with an Aylesbury spatula. An endocervical brush is rotated in the central opening of the cervix. The cells are placed on a glass slide and taken to the laboratory to be checked for abnormalities.
A plastic-fronded broom is sometimes used in place of the spatula and brush. The broom is not as good a collection device, since it is much less effective at collecting endocervical material than the spatula and brush.[21] The broom is used more frequently with the advent of liquid-based cytology, although either type of collection device may be used with either type of cytology.
The sample is stained using the Papanicolaou technique, in which tinctorial dyes and acids are selectively retained by cells. Unstained cells cannot be seen with a light microscope. Papanicolaou chose stains that highlighted cytoplasmic keratinization, which actually has almost nothing to do with the nuclear features used to make diagnoses now.
In some cases, a computer system may prescreen the slides, indicating those that do not need examination by a person or highlighting areas for special attention. The sample is then usually screened by a specially trained and qualified cytotechnologist using a light microscope. The terminology for who screens the sample varies according to the country; in the UK, the personnel are known as cytoscreeners, biomedical scientists (BMS), advanced practitioners and pathologists. The latter two take responsibility for reporting the abnormal sample which may require further investigation.
In the last decade, there have been successful attempts to develop automated, computer image analysis systems for screening.[22] Although, on the available evidence automated cervical screening could not be recommended for implementation into a national screening program, a recent NHS Health technology appraisal concluded that the 'general case for automated image analysis ha(d) probably been made'.[23] Automation may improve sensitivity and reduce unsatisfactory specimens.[24] Two systems have been approved by the FDA and function in high-volume reference laboratories, with human oversight.[citation needed]
In screening a general or low-risk population, most Pap results are normal.
In the United States, about 2–3 million abnormal Pap smear results are found each year.[25] Most abnormal results are mildly abnormal (ASC-US (typically 2–5% of Pap results) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (about 2% of results)), indicating HPV infection.[citation needed] Although most low-grade cervical dysplasias spontaneously regress without ever leading to cervical cancer, dysplasia can serve as an indication that increased vigilance is needed.
In a typical scenario, about 0.5% of Pap results are high-grade SIL (HSIL), and less than 0.5% of results indicate cancer; 0.2 to 0.8% of results indicate Atypical Glandular Cells of Undetermined Significance (AGC-NOS).[citation needed]
As liquid based preparations (LBPs) become a common medium for testing, atypical result rates have increased. The median rate for all preparations with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions using LBPs was 2.9% compared with a 2003 median rate of 2.1%. Rates for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (median, 0.5%) and atypical squamous cells have changed little.[26]
Abnormal results are reported according to the Bethesda system.[27] They include:
Endocervical and endometrial abnormalities can also be detected, as can a number of infectious processes, including yeast, herpes simplex virus and trichomoniasis. However it is not very sensitive at detecting these infections, so absence of detection on a Pap does not mean absence of the infection.
The Pap test, when combined with a regular program of screening and appropriate follow-up, can reduce cervical cancer deaths by up to 80%.[10]
Failure of prevention of cancer by the Pap test can occur for many reasons, including not getting regular screening, lack of appropriate follow up of abnormal results, and sampling and interpretation errors.[28] In the US, over half of all invasive cancers occur in women that have never had a Pap smear; an additional 10 to 20% of cancers occur in women that have not had a Pap smear in the preceding five years. About one-quarter of US cervical cancers were in women that had an abnormal Pap smear, but did not get appropriate follow-up (woman did not return for care, or clinician did not perform recommended tests or treatment).
Adenocarcinoma of the cervix has not been shown to be prevented by Pap tests.[28] In the UK, which has a Pap smear screening program, Adenocarcinoma accounts for about 15% of all cervical cancers[29]
Estimates of the effectiveness of the United Kingdom's call and recall system vary widely, but it may prevent about 700 deaths per year in the UK. A medical practitioner performing 200 tests each year would prevent a death once in 38 years, while seeing 152 women with abnormal results, referring 79 for investigation, obtaining 53 abnormal biopsy results, and seeing 17 persisting abnormalities lasting longer than two years. At least one woman during the 38 years would die from cervical cancer despite being screened.[30]
Since the population of the UK is about 61 million, the maximum number of women who could be receiving Pap smears in the UK is around 15 million to 20 million (eliminating the percentage of the population under 20 and over 65). This would indicate that the use of Pap smear screening in the UK saves the life of 1 person for every approximately 20,000 people tested (assuming 15,000,000 are being tested yearly). If only 10,000,000 are actually tested each year, then it would save the life of 1 person for every approximately 15,000 people tested.
The endocervix may be partially sampled with the device used to obtain the ectocervical sample, but, due to the anatomy of this area, consistent and reliable sampling cannot be guaranteed. As abnormal endocervical cells may be sampled, those examining them are taught to recognize them.
The endometrium is not directly sampled with the device used to sample the ectocervix. Cells may exfoliate onto the cervix and be collected from there, so as with endocervical cells, abnormal cells can be recognised if present but the Pap Test should not be used as a screening tool for endometrial malignancy.
In the United States, a pap test itself costs $20 to $30, but the costs for pap test visits can cost over $1,000, largely because additional tests are added that may or may not be necessary.[31]
Pap tests can usually be performed during pregnancy up to at least 24 weeks of gestational age.[32] Pap tests during pregnancy have not been associated with increased risk of miscarriage. [32] An inflammatory component is commonly seen on Pap smears from pregnant women,[33] and does not appear to be a risk for subsequent preterm birth.[34]
The test was invented by and named after the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou. Aurel Babeş of Romania independently made similar discoveries in 1927.[35] However, it should be noted that Babeş method was radically different from Papanicolaou's.[36]
Papanicolaou's name was repeatedly submitted to the Nobel Committee and rejected every time. The Nobel Committee delegated the in-depth investigation of Papanicolaou's merits and demerits to the late Professor Santesson, who was at that time the head of pathology at the Stockholm Cancer Institute (the Radiumhemmet). The investigator discovered Babeş' contributions that had never been cited by Papanicolaou and duly reported this fact to the Committee, which then rejected Papanicolaou's Nobel award.[37]
In the developed world, cervical biopsy guided by colposcopy is considered the "gold standard" for diagnosing cervical abnormalities after an abnormal pap smear. The procedure requires a trained colposcopist and can be expensive to perform. However, Pap smears are very sensitive and some negative biopsy results may represent undersampling of the lesion in the biopsy, so negative biopsy with positive cytology requires careful follow up.[38]
Experimental visualization techniques use broad-band light (e.g., direct visualization, speculoscopy, cervicography, visual inspection with acetic acid or with Lugol's, and colposcopy) and electronic detection methods (e.g., Polarprobe and in-vivo Spectroscopy). These techniques are less expensive and can be performed with significantly less training. They do not perform as well as Pap smear screening and colposcopy. At this point, these techniques have not been validated by large-scale trials and are not in general use.
There are results from a study in the southern United States showing conditions under which females did or did not receive pap tests, who they were, and what their overall reasonings were:
The most common reason reported by women as to why they had not a Pap test was cost (25%), followed by reporting a doctor had not recommended the test (22%). Conclusions: Pap testing was most frequent among African American women. Subsets, such as women with less education, low income, and no health insurance, however, may not be adequately screened for cervical cancer.
"Recent Pap test use was somewhat lower among women over 65 (86% for ages 65–69, 83% for ages 70–74, 76% for ages 75–79), among white women (82%) and women of other race/ethnicity (85%), among women with less than a high school education (85%), and among women with lower household incomes (86% for $15,000 annually)." See Tables 3 and 4 provided at:[39][40]
There are results from a nationwide study in Taiwan showing conditions under which female personnel do or do not receive Pap tests. The following results were gathered:
57.7% of the female medical personnel had received a Pap test in 2008–2010.
Pap-test rates were highest for pharmacists (58.1%) and nurses (58.0%) and lowest for physicians (48.6%).
Female medical personnel not having received Pap tests were older, had chronic diseases, and so on.[41]
These results further suggest that most middle and upper class women have access to the Pap test and can choose to have one done annually. On the other hand, poor women, like those in the southern US study, may not always have access to the Pap test.
Endocervical adenocarcinoma on a pap test.
Candida organisms on a pap test.
Viral cytopathic effect consistent with herpes simplex virus on a pap test.
Normal squamous epithelial cells in premenopausal women
Atrophic squamous cells in postmenopausal women
Normal endocervical cells should be present into the slide, as a proof of a good quality sampling
the cytoplasms of squamous epithelial cells melted out; many Döderlein bacilli can be seen
Infestation by Trichomonas vaginalis
The finding of coccoid bacteria on a pap test is of no consequence with otherwise normal test findings and no infectious symptoms. However, if there is enough inflammation to obscure the detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous processes, it may indicate treatment with a broad-spectrum antibiotic for streptococci and anaerobic bacteria (such as metronidazole and amoxicillin) before repeating the smear. Alternatively, the test will be repeated at an earlier time than it would otherwise.[42] If there are symptoms of vaginal discharge, bad odor or irritation, the presence of coccoid bacteria also may indicate treatment with antibiotics as per above.[42]
ACS and others have recommended, since before 1980, that conventional cytology can be safely performed up to every three years for most women.

The use of phosphorylation state-specific antibodies has revolutionized the field of cellular signaling by Ser/Thr protein kinases. A more recent application of this technology is the development of phospho-specific antibodies that specifically recognize the consensus substrate phosphorylated motif of a given protein kinase. Here, we describe the development and use of such an antibody which is directed against the optimal phosphorylation motif of protein kinase D (PKD). A degenerate phosphopeptide library with fixed residues corresponding to the consensus LXR(Q/K/E/M)(M/L/K/E/Q/A)S*XXXX was used as an antigen to generate an antibody that recognizes this motif. We characterized the antibody by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and with immobilized peptide arrays and also detected immunoreactive phosphoproteins in HeLa cells stimulated with agonists known to activate PKD. Silencing PKD expression using RNA interference validated the specificity of this antibody immunoreactive against putative substrates. The antibody also detected the PKD substrates RIN1 and HDAC5. Knowledge of the PKD consensus motif also enabled us to identify Ser(82) in the human heat shock protein Hsp27 as a novel substrate for PKD. We term this antibody anti-PKD pMOTIF and predict that it will enable the discovery of novel PKD substrate proteins in cells.
