Individual Acrobat Pro subscriptions are available for purchase through the Adobe Store only in select countries. Acrobat Pro subscriptions purchased through the Adobe Value Incentive Plan (VIP) are available in all countries where Acrobat is sold.
Both Acrobat XI Pro and Acrobat XI Standard let you turn existing paper or digital forms into fillable PDF forms. You can distribute these forms using the Acrobat Tracker, which compiles a table of form responses and, if desired, a PDF file of all completed forms. For each form distributed using the Acrobat Tracker, Acrobat supports up to 500 responses.
Acrobat XI Pro now also lets you create new PDF and web forms* from scratch or professional templates using the new included FormsCentral desktop app. With Acrobat XI Pro, you can:
The FormsCentral desktop app lets Acrobat XI Pro users create new PDF forms in minutes. Instead of converting existing forms to PDF and then turning them into fillable PDFs, you can quickly build the exact form you need. Use the FormsCentral designer to easily customize professional templates or design forms from scratch.
In addition, if you subscribe to Acrobat Pro† or open a free or paid account with the FormsCentral online service, you can use the desktop app to build web forms and distribute and analyze your forms. FormsCentral significantly improves form reporting and analysis by letting you view and analyze responses in real time. You can easily search, sort, and filter a table of responses, and even customize the view for yourself or team members. Built-in formulas support fast analysis, or you can export the data to a spreadsheet or database. FormsCentral also generates charts automatically, giving you a summarized view of your information so you can spot trends instantly.
The FormsCentral desktop app and the FormsCentral online service provide the same powerful, easy-to-use tools for creating, distributing, and analyzing electronic forms. They are available for use and purchase in two different ways:
LiveCycle Designer software is now sold separately. Visit the LiveCycle Designer product page for details. Acrobat XI Pro users can use the new FormsCentral desktop app for form creation; customers who upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro are also eligible for a free upgrade to the latest version of LiveCycle Designer.
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
With Acrobat XI, you have three options for distributing fillable PDF forms. Simply click Distribute in the Forms panel of the Tools pane to see these options:
When you open a free FormsCentral online service account, you can distribute one PDF or web form at a time and collect up to 50 responses. When you open a paid account, the FormsCentral Basic subscription lets you distribute up to five forms at any given time with up to 500 responses per form, and the FormsCentral Plus subscription (included when you subscribe to Acrobat Pro†) lets you distribute an unlimited number of forms with up to 5,000 responses per form. Terms of service may change. Visit the FormsCentral website for full pricing details.
Acrobat XI is integrated with the EchoSign online service to let you easily send a document to others for signing, track the entire process, and store signed documents online. Simply choose Send For Signature in the Get Others to Sign panel of the Sign pane. You will need an active free or paid account with the EchoSign online service.
When you open a free EchoSign online service account, you receive basic functionality during a 30-day trial period. Paid accounts support more users and greater functionality. Terms of service may change. Visit the EchoSign website for full pricing details.
For more information and tutorials on how to use the new features and functionality in Acrobat XI, visit the Acrobat User Community and Adobe TV.
Yes, you can download a fully functional, 30-day trial version of Acrobat XI Pro for Windows or Mac OS. The trial software is available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
Yes, Acrobat is a 32-bit application that can run and has been tested on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 and 8, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

Activation is a required process by which Adobe validates that your software is genuine and being used as allowed by your product license agreement. It is intended to protect both your rights as a consumer and Adobe's rights as a software developer. Activation also helps confirm that the software you bought is not counterfeit.
You will not be able to use your software if it is not activated. Each single-user license grants rights for Acrobat XI to be installed on two computers at any given time. Acrobat XI products automatically attempt to activate over the Internet. During activation, no personal information is transmitted. See the Adobe software activation page and read this article for more information.
Similar to Protected Mode in Adobe Reader, Protected View is an implementation of "sandboxing" technology for the rich Acrobat feature set. In Acrobat XI, Adobe extends the functionality of Protected View beyond blocking write-based attacks that attempt to execute malicious code on your computer system using the PDF file format to read-based attacks that attempt to steal your sensitive data or intellectual property via PDF files.
Just like Protected Mode, Protected View confines the execution of untrusted programs (for example, any PDF file and the processes it invokes) to a restricted sandbox to avoid malicious code using the PDF format from writing to or reading from your computer's file system. Protected View assumes all PDF files are potentially malicious and confines processing to the sandbox unless you specifically indicate that a file is trusted.

Adobe recommends that you always install the latest updates and security patches. Acrobat XI and Reader XI will notify you when new updates are available, or you can customize the settings so all updates are automatically installed. Acrobat XI tools are also available to streamline updates across enterprise deployments, helping to control IT costs.
Adobe developed Acrobat XI to work seamlessly from within Microsoft Office 2010 for Windows. With Acrobat XI, you can:
Note: One-button PDF file creation in Microsoft Office 2010 and the ability to import comments into Word are available only in Acrobat XI and X for Windows. To create PDF files from Office 2010 applications when using Acrobat XI for Mac OS or earlier versions of Acrobat, select Adobe PDF as the printer in the Print dialog box.
Yes, you can easily work with PDF files if you have a Microsoft SharePoint server. Whether you're a Windows or a Mac user, Acrobat XI lets you quickly access PDF files stored in your SharePoint library from any Acrobat Open or Save dialog box. Open PDF files from within SharePoint to view and collaborate on PDF documents. You can even check PDF documents out of SharePoint for editing, and then check them back in once you're finished.
You can also automate processes by hosting shared document reviews or data collection for PDF forms on your SharePoint server. In addition, you can use the improved Combine dialog box to access documents directly from online storage services like Microsoft Office 365 (use subject to Microsoft terms of service).
Yes, both Acrobat XI and Reader XI have been tested and are confirmed to operate on Windows 8.
Acrobat 10.1.4 and XI support Windows 8. Upgrading to Acrobat XI will help ensure compatibility with Windows 8 and access to the latest product enhancements. Enterprise customers with a Gold or Platinum support plan can contact Customer Support for upgrade tips and planning help.

There are no product feature differences between Acrobat XI Pro in Creative Cloud and Acrobat XI Pro purchased as a separate perpetual software license.

POSTED: Monday, November 19, 2012 - 9:02pm
UPDATED: Monday, November 19, 2012 - 9:12pm
(CNN) -- For the Obama administration, the watchword is "de-escalate." Stop the fighting, especially rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel, then deal with longer-term issues.
But President Barack Obama, who continues to support Israel's right to defend itself while urging that the fighting cease, cannot do it on his own.
From Southeast Asia, where he is his first international trip since his re-election, Obama has talked several times by telephone with two of the central players: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, traveling with him, has been even busier. She's been talking by phone with Israeli, Egyptian, Turkish, Qatari, and French officials, as well as with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, and then briefing the president on those conversations.
Clinton, along with Obama's national security adviser, Tom Donilon, also has been speaking with the U.S. ambassadors in Israel and Egypt, at one point making conference calls from the plane as his party flew into Myanmar.
The objective of the phone blitz, according to Ben Rhodes, the president's deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, is to pressure anyone with influence on either side to use it.
"Our position continues to be that those nations in the region, particularly nations that have influence over Hamas -- and that's principally Egypt and Turkey, also Qatar -- need to use that influence to de-escalate the conflict. And de-escalation has to begin with, again, an end to rocket fire from Gaza," says Rhodes.
Egypt, which has a peace treaty with Israel, is key. President Obama has spoken with President Morsy three times; Secretary Clinton also has had three conversations so far with Egyptian officials.
"What the U.S. is doing now is working is working with the Egyptians, working with the Israelis and trying to coordinate with both sides what the terms of a cease-fire would look like," says Middle East expert Haim Malka of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Egypt, he says, "has brokered cease-fires between Hamas and Israel in the past and it will be the key to brokering the current cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas to end this round of fighting. Egypt doesn't want chaos on its borders."
Chaos, he says, would only worsen Egypt's foundering economy and, to shore up its economic situation, it needs help from the international community, from the European Union, and from the United States which gives it $450 million annually in aid.
But for Morsy's new government, it's a difficult balance. He is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and many Egyptians have sympathy for Hamas and the Palestinian cause.
"We are subcontracting to the Egyptians," says Aaron David Miller of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Miller sees a link between the fighting in Gaza and the bid by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for nonmember observer state status from the U.N. General Assembly
"I think a conscious, willful decision was made on the part of the president (Obama) that if he ever wants to manage Netanyahu on Iran and the peace process, he has to -- on this issue and the one that is coming next week, the introduction of Abbas' initiative for state status -- he is going to have to come out as hard-line as any president has in supporting Israel, both against Hamas and the rockets on the one hand, and against Abbas' initiative in New York."
It's a bid to "buy time," Miller says, for Turkey and Egypt to work their diplomacy. But, for now, as Obama continues Asian journey, Mideast diplomacy is overshadowing his trip.

A loaded name to live up to
putting user-generated content to good use
Dec 12, 2012 | 4 Comments
It took quite a bit of brainstorming before News-Register Features Editor Racheal Winter suggested Open Source as a name for this blog. It was actually less of a suggestion and more of a, "I figured out what to call the blog." We all agreed.
The term is a loaded one in this digital age, referenced foremost in programming language to mean the open sharing and advancement of source code. The connotation may be a bit confusing - this is definitely not a blog about programming. In the spirit of the phrase, however, I hope to allow the content define what this blog will become.
To the brains of the N-R newsroom (i.e. not computer programmers), the term source has a longstanding connection to how we gather news and report it to the public. Reporters work with sources on a daily basis, whether they be government officials, school administration, field experts or businessmen and women.
The rise of social media has opened the door for newsrooms to interact with its readers like never before. It's a completely new method to gather and share information. And there has been a learning curve for newspapers, for sure, along with businesses across the board, to develop good ways to use it. In the news business, a major question is how can we best generate and organize user-generated content through new, digital, interactive avenues?
This blog will allow everyone to be a source and contribute to community news gathering. The N-R staff will generate content here and there, but the goal is for user-generated content to drive the blog - along with our various social media profiles. It is to become an open source for community news, entertainment and perhaps down the road opinion.

I was think'n kinda like that, only without all of the pomp and pagentry. It's a black and white film that as a diseminater of information in these dogital times, you'll either note something that you can relate to (as a reporter)..or..not.

Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Kidde's product line includes many types of carbon monoxide detectors and alarms, including hardwired, combination, talking, battery operated, battery backup, lithium battery, plug in, remote controlled, test / silent, voice warning, photoelectric, surface mount, recessed, and low profile models. Most commonly, a Kidde carbon monoxide detector is identified by the method the device is powered; wire in, battery operated, or plug in.
In addition to Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detectors, Kidde also manufactures a combination version of it's CO detector that incorporates Kidde's highly advanced smoke detection technology, making it a highly desirable for any household. Kidde's combination units will detect heat, smoke, or carbon monoxide found, all within one unit. Kidde's design team takes great lengths to make sure it's utilizes the most advanced detection technology available, while preserving simplistic operation and installation.
What Is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide, also referred to as CO, is an odorless, colorless gas that is found in many households each year. Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in America. CO is most commonly produced by burning carbon based materials using fuel or natural gas. Inhalation of carbon monoxide can causes serious injuries including brain damage and death. As of February 20, 2010, many states adopted Amanda's Law, which requires the installation and maintenance of Carbon Monoxide Detectors in all households and dwellings with a fuel burning appliance or an attached garage present. Check with your local state legislation to make sure you are in compliance with state law.
It is recommended that all households and community buildings have at least one Kidde carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home and outside sleeping areas. A Kidde carbon monoxide detector works similar to your standard smoke detector, emitting a sound warning if the sensor detects harmful levels of carbon monoxide.
Similar to Kidde smoke detectors, Kidde carbon monoxide detectors can be interconnected in a system to maximize efficiency of your indoor safety system, and can be connected with other units including bells, whistles, relays, and additional smoke or carbon monoxide detectors

How to Select
How to Select a Carbon Monoxide Detector
There are two general types of carbon monoxide detectors; carbon monoxide and smoke combination detectors, and carbon monoxide only detectors. For home use, we recommend using a combination carbon monoxide and smoke detector so you can limit the amount of devices you will need to install and eventually replace. If you already have a working smoke detector, you can either replace it with a combination alarm, or install a carbon monoxide only detector.Power Sources:
Your power source will help you decide which carbon monoxide detector is the right one for your application.
Battery Powered: These units run on battery power and are not connected to a hard power line. Battery powered carbon monoxide detectors are easy to install. Often times, they will have a built-in front-loading battery compartment for easy access and replacement of old batteries. If you are retrofitting your space, and would like to limit the amount of electrical work needed, this is a great option.
Plug-In: Plug-in carbon monoxide detectors will run directly from a power outlet and will provide instant detection. Installation of plug-in models is as easy as plugging them into the outlet, and you are done. These units do not run off of a battery.
Hardwired: Models that are hardwired require a direct power source that is wired to the alarm providing steady electrical current. These units require little maintenance once installed. We recommend that a qualified electrician install these units. Hardwired models are easily interconnected and can operate as a "system" of alarms and other devices.
Hardwired with Battery back-up: Hardwired models are also available with a battery back-up that will keep the carbon monoxide detector operating even during a power outage. These units still need to be hardwired to your standard power source, however, have extended life due to the back-up battery.
Interconnectivity: Is your Carbon Monoxide detector interconnectable?
Some Carbon Monoxide alarms have additional functions that allow for the unit to be installed in a series of interconnected detectors and other devices such as bells or whistles. Interconnected devices include advanced technology to identify which detector initiated the alarm.
Types of Sensors:
Electromechanical sensors are known for being the most accurate detectors available. These units will detect many types of fires, and will be least likely to cause nuisance alarms.
Photoelectric sensors detect larger size particles in the 0.3 to 10 micron range, which are associated with ash or burned material. These detectors respond quickly to smoldering fires where particles may be in the surrounding air.
Ionization sensors are often less expensive to produce and thus will cost less. However, due to the nature of the technology, it is more prone to cause a nuisance alarm. Ionization sensors have two points which have a steady current flowing through. Once particles enter between the two points, the current is interrupted and the alarm sounds. Ionization alarms are used to detect smaller particles and flaming fires.

I've asked to at least include Gnome Shells fixes on Gala and Cinnamon as well by default(note, I don't use Cinnamon, only test now and then). If that gets some response, I'll go on with more things to report, but I don't see much that traction in non game bugs.
I mentioned KWin to show you one(of many) example where developers have to treat Catalyst as a special case. Compiz also does that a LOT. Don't you think something is wrong with that?
In "no hacks mode" I can't even take proper screenshots(they might show the background, they might show an application that was previously open, weird stuff). Is that a window manager problem too? Again Catalyst specific.
Certainly everyone is broken and Catalyst follows everything to the letter, but most applications are apparently also developed in a broken way. Do you think that's how it is?
I am not an opensource driver fanatic, but at least the open drivers seem to (mostly) work without bugs when a spec is implemented. At least they are implemented properly I mean and no application specific hacks are used. Certainly I can't say quite the same for nvidia. But can you claim that such a different behavior just by renaming an executable file is not rational from a properly working driver. Past experiments have shown certain OpenGL extensions to be available or not depending on the name of application(let's say compiz). I haven't tested much on that now(not enough knowledge on my part), but I hope it's not as bad as it used to. Because having GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap or whatever(I don't completely recall the name of the extension) only when you're named compiz(probably a few other names as well) is pretty wrong from my point of view at least. (And racist, lol)
Btw, that's a bugfix update for Shell/libmutter, still it should be backported, but who am I who know whatever genius versioning system they'd use.
May I suggest an experiment. Copy "gnome-shell" executable to a file with another name. Run "/path/to/new-name --replace". See how well it runs on Catalyst now that application specific bug was fixed. You can try it with other wm's too. Maybe it runs fine, maybe not, who knows.
I just say, even if some specific issue reproducible only with Catalyst, it doesn't mean it's Catalyst fault. That may be Catalyst fault, maybe not.
I was just saying, if most stuff works well on the other drivers and not Catalyst, maybe that leads to a conclusion? No conclusion is 100%, but application specific bugs don't seem to be the most likely though.
Indeed, it is unfortunate "hacks" are used/needed, and I wasn't really aware of that. But compared to what I mentioned, I think there are significant differences.
Interesting, thanks for telling me about /etc/ati/atiogl.xml. Although I couldn't really make that much out of it. At least I can add whatever window manager I want there and not have a weird sitation with renaming executables on every upgrade .. In fact, Mint could use a modified fglrx package with Cinnamon in there was well to help a bit, as a temporary "fix".
Although I think not everything is there regarding profiles/hacks etc.
If I recall correctly the bug is that accelerated fullscreen windows are on the foreground no matter what. Even when the right click menu appears for example or Expose/Expo effect is triggered, they're still on the front.
Or is this a Xorg whatever bug? It's present on most(if not all) compositors I tried, and couldn't reproduce with different driver/GPU so I doubt.
I'd say the chrome case is application specific, but the same happens with games too and seems to be again only under Catalyst driver.
I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but it's mostly able to happen in any compositor under similar or different circumstances, glitchy graphics for a moment when transitioning between login/logout screens and desktop, game and desktop, when changing volume or something like that while a fullscreen accelerated window is active(apparently because the sound-notification thing goes above it). In some cases the glitched graphics may persist. I think t has to do with changing display buffer or something, but don't really know. With radeon all that is pretty smooth.
If this still happen for you on KDE 4.10 and some latest fglrx (8.97+) - record video, fill ticket, attach /usr/share/fglrx/atigetsysteminfo.sh report.
I tested these drivers on MSI AMD X370 E-350 APU in Kubuntu 12.10 with KDE 4.9.5 and my kernels - based on: Linux-3.7.5 and 3.8-rc6 ... and they are slower than Catalytst 13.1:
- the environment is less liquid,
- gaming performance is either comparable to or lower than the 13.1

Has anyone else had trouble with adjusting backlight on 13.2 beta?
I installed it yesterday (Ubuntu 12.10), and when I tried do adjust the backlight on my E-350(Lenovo Ideapad S205), most of the times it was ignored (the system notification would pop up and act as if something was happening, but the backlight would not change).
I tried restarting and same thing, then I reinstalled 13.1 and it went away. I'll try again today to see if it really was the beta driver acting up.

Ahn Sang Hoon, assistant director of ...ing and director of the 2004 short "Pass Over", has been busily preparing Arang (previously titled Line), his feature debut, for the last few years. His efforts have produced an eerie, interesting film that transcends the typical summer horror flick by focusing on characters and personal horrors rather than predictable thrill elements.

I had ovarian cancer 11 months ago, now they think I may have lung cancer, a pet scan lit-up arround my chest, they say it could also be an infection, I AM WAITING FROM A BLOOD TEST from Mayo clinic.:((
Peggy, I don't know if you'll get this, but I have survived endometrial cancer -stage 4. Chemo every 3 weeks for 7 treatments. It was brutal and recovery took a long time. But I am still here, still cancer free. It will be 3 years in August. I also had radiation. Be strong - you can do it.
Yikes, how about enough of the death/tragic stories of cancer as that is all I seem to hear since I began chemo last week at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. Is there anybody out there that has survived endometerial IVB cancer with chemo treatments? I could use some encouragement.
I will be having chemo every three weeks for 6 times and I began my first treatment last Friday.
Does anyone know why the mammary lymph nodes
are not checked? A friend with BC that has now spread..Dr. says was probably in those glands?
Cindi.. sounds like you are in good hands just wish more to do now to stop it from coming back.
Hi, Kathy...I am going to a cancer center. And, my breast surgeon came here from md anderson! We had considered Cleveland Clinic but I was in a clinical trial here & very fortunate to get into it. Now that my radiation is over, I have to see my oncologist every 3 months. My cancer was so aggressive that I think he just wants to prepare me. I so appreciate your comments & concern. Will keep you posted. Have a blessed day.
I don't know where you are going but think I would try a cancer center.I have already done research on them.Your dr should be able to refer you and than your insurance should help you.Just call one of the cancer centers and ask questions.Cleveland Clinic was wonderful with my questions and also md Anserson in Texas is # 1 in breast cancer.
You need to look out for you, your dr does not seem to be.If he thinks it will return than he should be able to get any test covered .
I feel for Elise and Cindi as I read your comments I want to cry, scream, yell shake the whole world. There has to be a way for extremely earlier detection at a much younger age than 40. 37 % of breast tumors are felt and discovered by the woman or man themselves, it makes me angry that the mammorgrams and sonograms do not always work but they are supposed to be the best tools for finding breast cancer give me a break, and the medical community doesn't convey to women that these devices are often not reliable. There has to be something new and better for women's breast screening. The BRACA screening is good but there are other hereditary factors; a man in the family with breast cancer and a first degree relative--means genetic mutation. Families also need to communicate how and what extended family members died of to help make pre-survivor decisions before cancer happens in the body. Sadly in my case it too k the life of my dearest friend and sister to educate me. The pink group makes breast cancer appear to be so curable and it is not always true. They need to change the cute pink ribbon to a skull and bones to shock women into aggresive screening at a younger age. If they can make Viagra they can find a screening tool for women! Lord help us!
Diane - Getting a second opinion is always a good option. Especially when you have questions that are unanswered. For a second opinion at Mayo, either go online or call for an appointment with Hematology. Here is a link to the online web form - http://www.mayoclinic.org/patientinfo/appointments.html
Otherwise, you can also call one of the appointment offices -
800-446-2279 (toll-free)
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain time, Monday through Friday
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, Monday through Thursday
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday
Be ready to give her history and previous treatment as well as current status. Specifically ask for an appointment for a second opinion. I hope that all goes well for you and your daughter. You should have your questions answered and hopefully some of the fears will ease with additional information about her current situation.
Sheryl, how can my daughter (22) go about getting a second opinion? She is two years off chemo for Hodgkins but the PET scan shows "something" and the Dr. feels it as well but wants to wait and see. My daughter is always coughing (but has mild asthma)and has a constant cold. We can get copies of her blood tests and CD's of her scans but not dr notes. I just want to read it, I just can't rely on my hearing/understanding. I know the doctor is smart and is dumbing it down for us but that makes her repeat herself and I didn't understand it the first time. I just want to know if her childhood weird medical stuff was connected and why does she have colonic diverticulitus and why won't the weight gain go away? Those are the things I wonder about and I don't dare talk to my daughter about because I don't want her to be more afraid than she must be. She was never a talker and now really doesn't. Our neighbor girl who lives two houses away, same age, same school, was just diagnosed with Hodgkins a few weeks ago. It is stuff like that that I think about.
My lymph nodes were negative. No follow up tests are being done other that a mammogram on the right breast & a cat scan. I see my oncologist every 3 months, but, my insurance co won't pay for a pet scan. Stress is my middle name as every little bump or sensation I feel, I think is cancer. What else can I do? My oncologist thinks is will resurface in the bloodstream. What about you?
Cindi.. what kind of follow up test are you having to catch this fast if it were to reoccure? Also does any know.. I do of BC but a friend had a double masectomy and negative lymph nodes but less than a year it is in her lung and liver! I did test before surgey not show the spread that was already there somehow?
Elise, I had stage 4 triple negative breast cancer. I, too, found it myself 3 months after a normal mammogram. I went through chemo, mastectomy & radiation. I finished radiation in November and now I sit, wait & worry everyday. It is a very aggressive form of cancer & my oncologist feels it will return within a 3 yr period. I have a 21 yr old son who has had a very hard time dealing with this. He even left college because he felt he had to be here with us. I pray you have a good outcome with your cancer. Let's keep each other informed. You can do this, Elise.
Amy, i understand how you feel....i lost my sister-in-law to cancer that was found throughout her abdomen, never could find out what type of cancer it was. It was a devastating loss to the family. She left behind 3 children ages, 2,4 and 6. We also watched her waste away and die from cancer. She was a very fit woman. Now I have been diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer and I am scared. I have 2 children ages 12 and 13. I too am very discouraged by the ability of mammograms to detect cancer. i had regular mammograms and ultrasounds and the radiologists never saw anything. It wasn't until i found a lump under my arm and made my own ultrasound appt that the cancer was found by the breast specialist. No one told me that when you have dense breasts it is difficult to see cancer on the mammograms. I would have been for assertive for an MRI and going to the breast specialist. Anyway, i have had chemo and am now going thru radiation. I am very concerned about the damage from radiation to my lymphatic systmem and worried about how aggressive the cancer will be if they find that it has survived the chemo as i heard it comes back with a vengeance. With all the money they have for research you would think they would have more reliable tests. I have also started to see a natureopath doctor who has an M.D. degree as well. Have you read Susanne Somers book "Knock Out"? If nothing else it gives us hope, the medical doctors don't have all the answers.
I am so sorry, Amy, for the loss of your sister and for all of the feelings that you are going through. Cancer is very cruel and unfair. I will keep you and your sister in my thoughts and prayers..
Why do they want to find a cure for breast and ovarian cancer when there isn't effective screening devices for young women with a family history of breast cancer, and the CA 125 test for ovarian cancer isn't reliable.
My sister died 2/14/2011 of breast cancer. She was diagnosed at age 40 and died at age 41.4 months. She was diagnosed on her first mammogram. She was my best friend, my grief is crippling, but now I'm pissed off because of the pink ribbon crap makes BC seem like a fun day of wearing pink, help find an affordable screening device for young dense breasts! In younger women the cancer differs biologically and it is aggressive and deadly. The cancer ate through her bones and liver like a drill constantly pounding on hard rock, weakening her so much she could no longer walk, brush her teeth, go to school or go shopping. I love her so much I miss her terribly, women should not be ripped off in early detection, because state of the art equipment is only in a select few hospitals-------why? Now I will have an elective mastectomy and my ovaries removed, my sister's life to help save my life, it shouldn't take a life to save a life, damn it!
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.
For Jim, you are no way alone, not one bit. Cancer is fearful but it also strengthens love, you are never alone and even if you died next week you wouldn't be alone, you have energy around you all the time try to listen or feel it.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I appreciate you all. My daughter just had her 2 yr after chemo checkup yesterday (for Hodgkins). PET shows something but she also has her ever present "cold". Dr. says "see you in four months" and something about a sed rate. Thanks to the new healthcare policies, no CT scan but don't know why I can't pay for it myself. I have a little savings. I am really grateful for insurance since we've paid in for it some 30 years but I don't understand why the two tests aren't used during this 5 year wait and see period. Thanks for letting me whine.
I had surgery for breast cancer in 2009 followed by chemo then 36 days of radiation. Since March of 2010 my CEA for tumor markers has been elevated. Have had a colonoscopy, Petscan, Catscan, Mammogram and nothing points to why my CEA has more than doubled (should read between 0 - 4.7 and mine is now up to 10.6). Help.
I use an oinctment made of arnica- a plant. You can find it at pharmacies and health food stores.
Would anyone have ideas on how to get rid of eczema arising from the cocktail of drugs given during chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy and brachytherapy? I've been told to abstain from pasta, noodles, bread. Someone told me to try apple cider vinegar but another person said vinegar causes cancer. It's all so confusing
I just appreciate that all who blog here talk honestly about the worries of recurrence. It has been 2.5 years and it is just hard. I had colon but it is genetic type with higher risk of return.
I find that other non-cancer folks struggle to understand the fear. I do everything I can to help myself, mindfulness, yoga, exercise, healthy foods, friends, etc but it is just hard. Thanks for the honesty and sharing.
I had stage three cancer in my neck, not throat. It was Occult squamous cell. They removed the tumor, and gave me heavy does of radiation and chemo, so lost 70 pounds (great diet aid the feeding tube was) and spent close to 5 months in bed except when I had to drive myself to treatment. So far there have been nosigns of it coming back, but I was told I had a 60% chance of it doing so. "Things" in life are just not that important any more to me, enjoying each day is a gift and I am by no means ready to pass on. When my time comes, I will be saying, wait, I have one more thing I need to do.
I went partners on a sailboat in Santa Cruz harbor, learning sailing navigation in night classes, and trying to be careful about what i do in terms of adding risk.
I lost my tase buds, (coming back slowly) have ringing in my ears, and the soles of my feet are numb due to chemo. But i am happy, happy i can have those things cause I am still here.
The whole thing is scary, because i have little control over what it does to me while active. But I am here, it is an "E-ticket" ride and it is by myself that I have to face it.
It seems as soon as I start to feel comfortable that the cancer is backing off, here it comes again! This time in the form of a tumor in my lymph nodes in my neck that just won't go away. Radiation every day. We'll see what happens. Try to stay positive, but I'll NEVER feel cancer-free. It's alway lurking around the corner for me, and diligence is key. Good luck to all, in every stage of treatment.
Some of the comments seemed to want more "surveillance" such as pet and cat scans - I think we have to be aware of too much exposure to radiation that these scans use. I have stage 3 ovarian and initially I wanted a ct scan a month I was so scared of recurrence - I kind of got hooked on the good feeling of relief I got from getting the all clear message from the doctors. My scans are now every 6 mons and I'm learning to live with that - its HARD! just like every other thing connected w/this disease. But I have to balance having a life between scans and having all the other surveillance - colonoscopy, mamogram, dentist, eyes etc. I wish all of us well.
I noticed that many of you are also asking about tumor markers such as PSA for prostate cancer and CA 125 for cervical cancer. See these links from Mayo Clinic at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cancer-diagnosis/CA00028 and the National Cancer Institute http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/detection/tumor-markers for a more comprehensive discussion on tumor markers and how they work for cancer detection.
Great discussion on PET scans and screening for cancer. It is true that a PET scan can be used to detect cancer and recurrence. This type of scan is not used to detect all cancers, but can be helpful in detecting brain, breast, cervical, colon, esophageal, lung, lymphoma, melanoma, pancreatic and thyroid cancers. If you are wondering if a PET scan is a good option for you, ask your cancer team. For insurance coverage, a letter of medical necessity may be needed because of your increased risk for cancer recurrence. For more information on PET scanning, see also this link from Mayo Clinic
Amy... there is a blood test for ovarian cancer..CA125
I was even told my Cleveland Clinic( I just called and asked some ?) To ask dr for pet scan or ct scan for since i was worried about reoccurance and family history. If he refuses ask else where.insurance co. do refuse sometimes but it all depends on your Dr
to all with cancer or cancer suvivors,the more knowledge about this disease that you can arm yourself with puts you in control of your own situation.I,too,am a cancer victim of breast cancer,tried the chemo pills for 2yrs.9 mons.my body would not tolerate the meds.,so I was left to find an alternative.For my liver function,I now take milk thistle,which is an herb.My lft test are now normal.There is a blood test called a ca27/29 that measures cancer-antigens in the blood that is very helpful.38 is the number that is normal.anything above this that is excesscively high indicates something needs checking out. this has been my method of keeping a check,but I know that at some point,the cancer will return. Apositive attitude has helped me,along with prayer from my church family. Thanks
I, too, would like a PET scan to screen for other cancers, but, my insurance refuses to cover it. They say it isn't "medically necessary." Having dealt w/ TN breast cancer, chemo, surgery & radiation, I fear every twinge that I feel. I don't want to stress about it,but I do..don't want to be a hypocondriac either.
I think chemotherapy brain may be signs of the pre-active phase of dying, cancer has taught me to accept death as a journey that can be amazing, wondrous, and happy if you tune into your body, mind, spirit and those you love in your closest inner circle. "Final Journies" and "Final Gifts" by Maggie Callanan, a hospice nurse, are more useful in stage IV cancer than the best oncologist at the best hospital. Hospice in the Temecula Valley are a group of angels on Earth.
I agree with Kathy why can't they give a PET scan as a screening tool for women's breast cancer, I had a lump removed atypical lobular hyperplasia that did not appear on a mammogram or a sonogram.
I was diagnosed 5 months ago with a form of leukemia called MDS. I am very tired and have swollen lymph nodes and one different infection after another but no treatments. I would like a PET scan but scared of the results.
Why isn't there screening for ovarian cancer, and effective screening for breast cancer under age 45?
I had 8 rounds of chemo at 3-week intervals, bilateral mastectomies (with multiple lymph node removed), and then 38 radiation treatments (including the boost), ending in November 2010. Some sensation is now returning to the chest and underarm area, and I'm having trouble not characterizing those intermittent twinges and pangs as pain. (They are very brief.) Fatigue has continued, and at my last visit my oncologist suggested that I increase fluids, stating that some of the fatigue may be a result of dehydration. (It had worsened with the onset of warmer weather and attempts to increase activities such as walks.) I know I need to be alert for signs of a recurrence, but I really don't want to become a hypochondriac about this.
I completed a 6 month course of chemo which finished in October. Since then, I have had a PET & CT and as a preventative, my physician has scheduled for another PET & CT in 2 weeks. He has told me that he will continue to use both for the time being. You may want to talk to your cancer care team about it.
I am wondering why pet scans are not used as preventive,they can see cancer.I have 3 people within a year of BC has returned to liver and lungs.I just finished rad and I am scared.. What kinds of test do they do in follow up?I hope more then a mamo cause I wasnt to check my liver and lungs before it is to late.

Our Philosophy &
You'll discover that you're part of a squad, not a battalion.
Experience in the military is highly valued at the Tepper School of Business. We appreciate the leadership and team skills, as well as the diversity of experiences that this particular community of students brings to the classroom and to the overall student experience.
We believe that our innovative leadership program and our analytical approach to decision-making is a powerful asset when paired with military students' proven leadership and teamwork skills. We have found that military students/Tepper MBA graduates make a strong transition into the civilian workforce based in part upon the structure and caliber of our program.
Camaraderie is evident here – we are among the smallest of the Top 10 B-schools in the U.S. and are proud of the supportive and close-knit culture that is fostered here. Teamwork is part of our DNA, with team projects, team presentations and capstone courses integrated into all aspects of the coursework.
Year One is focused on mastery of fundamental management principles. Year Two emphasizes flexibility that is customized to your needs with a selection of more than 120 electives offered at the business school as well as selecting electives across disciplines throughout Carnegie Mellon University. Popular choices include foreign language, public policy, and computer science courses. We also offer Dual and Joint Degrees.

The MVA is open to the Carnegie Mellon Community, in particular, to veterans and current members of the U.S and foreign militaries, their families, and any other students interested in learning more about the experiences, qualities, and characteristics of veterans.

Phoronix: OpenGL ES Support For QEMU Emulator
One of the items brought up this week at UDS Budapest was about providing OpenGL / OpenGL ES support for QEMU guests. The need for OpenGL ES 2.0 support in QEMU guests has come up since it's used in emulating Maemo / MeeGo for development environments. This would also make it possible to use Canonical's Unity desktop in a virtualized environment...

Engine Oil Leaks
HVAC air flow switching to defrost under heavy engine load
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system may change to defrost mode under heavy engine load conditions when low engine vacuum is produced. This can often be corrected by installing an additional vacuum check valve with reservoir to help stabilize the vacuum supply to the HVAC system.
Hesitation caused by plugged EGR back pressure tube
A hesitation on acceleration may be caused by carbon build up on the EGR valve back pressure tube. Cleaning the tube will generally restore proper EGR system operation, eliminating the associated hesitation.
Driveability concerns due to intake valve deposits
Various driveability concerns can be caused by deposits on the back of the intake valves. Fuel injector cleaner has shown reasonable results cleaning light deposits.
Squeak type noise from front of vehicle when turning
A squeak type noise may be noted from the front of the vehicle while turning. This is commonly caused by a faulty upper strut bearing. Replacing the failed strut bearing will generally correct this type of concern.

Shimeji and Aburage Miso Soup
While I was at Sanko getting the ingredients for dashi I saw that they had fresh Shimeji mushrooms. I have been able to find shiitake and enoki mushrooms at local grocery stores but not shimeji. I quickly picked up a package. This was a tasty miso soup.
1 cup dashi
2 ounces shimeji mushrooms
1 piece of aburage
1 tablespoon dill (chopped)
1 tablespoon miso
1. Bring the dashi, shimeji and aburage to a boil in a small sauce pan.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add the dill.
4. Dissolve the miso with some of the heated dashi in a separate bowl. (We do not want to boil the miso as it will not taste as good.)
5. Add the miso back to the soup.
6. Pour the soup into a bowl.
Does this soup look tasty? Check out the Closet Cooking Soup Cookbook Tasty Soups!
