What are the symptoms of bacterial hypersensitivity?
Bacterial hypersensitivity causes the skin to become very red. Pustules and large vesicles filled with fluid develop on the skin. There is severe itching, and many dogs will cause further damage to their skin through scratching and biting.
It appears that bacterial hypersensitivity in the dog is more likely to occur if other conditions such as hypothyroidism, atopy (allergy to inhaled substances like pollen), or flea allergy dermatitis are present.
How is bacterial hypersensitivity diagnosed?
Bacterial hypersensitivity is diagnosed through bacterial culture and examination of a biopsy sample. Microscopically, there are certain unique changes in the blood vessels of the skin in bacterial hypersensitivity. An intradermal allergy test may also be helpful. In this procedure, a small amount of extract made from the Staph bacteria is injected in the skin. The area is examined for a reaction 15 minutes, 24 hours, and 48 hours after the injection. This method is not as accurate as the biopsy.
How is bacterial hypersensitivity treated?
It is extremely important to treat the underlying disease such as hypothyroidism or flea allergy dermatitis. A test is run in the laboratory to determine which antibiotics are most likely to kill the Staph and the animal is started on one of those antibiotics. Some animals may need to be on antibiotics or immune stimulants long-term to prevent the Staph from multiplying on the skin and causing the hypersensitivity.

Once I visited China then I heard about this clonihtg company but I didn't get a chance to visit there. But I must say this company is really superb when we talk about clothes. I saw some clothes samples of this company and that was phenomenal.

There are plenty of energy beings, for example, which inhabit deep space. Such as the Calamarain. How do they take in energy? It seems as though they take it in from their surroundings. |

José Alfredo Martínez Badillo
I have always idolized eccentric people; old storytellers with scraggly beards, Sadhus covered in the ashes of their brothers, street performers, painters, poets etc. They seemed to demonstrate to me the ideals that I could never find in amongst the throws of everyday life. And part of what intrigued me about this world of others was the fact that they didn't exist on the surface. You had to go 'below', to find them. It was in pursuit of these ideals which led me towards the person who I am.

Macy1 jesup, GA 12/21/2013 4:59:08 AM A very sweet dog. Beautiful and loyal. A favorite of mine. I own a mix named Chewy and we thought she was border aussie. She is german collie.
matt austin, Texas 9/26/2013 10:46:42 PM Good article, just a few points from raising one or two of them myself. Most often people confuse needed to play and mental boredom. Aussie's needs mental stimulation. Meaning you can run 10 miles a day with them, and play fetch 3 times a week, and your dog will still act and be a trouble maker. A well conditioned trouble maker at that. This is because they love puzzles and finding solutions to them. If you have one that is why you chew toys don't last long. (Ours would pick the stitching out of soft chew toys and pull out the squeaker.) We got her Nyla bones, hard to chew through. But the best toy ever is a puzzle toy; we got her a Buster Food Cube. Any place has them, best toy ever. Fill it with a high reward treat, and make sure to take it away after awhile, (they will work till its empty). But it will get your Aussie over the (getting in trouble phase, especially in its teenage months.) That is why training can be hard, (ever notice your dog looks away while you are training it) cause it needs a challenge, and a puzzle to find the solution to. Another trick is hide and seek. They love that one. For the guy who has a dog that chases his cats, create safe zones for the cat. (i.e. your bedroom, or where the cat eats,) As one Vet told me, never let your Aussie do something ONCE that you don't want it to do again. But great article overall.

Although I cannot help much with Phnom Penh as we did not enjoy it and left after 1 night, I spent a considerable amount of time in Sihanoukville and Siem Reap (and Angkor) last year. I really enjoyed these locations and would love to assist anyone in any questions they may have (which hopefully I can answer).
Hi I am Richard and I coordinate "Outside the Square travel adventures for the almost independent gay traveller" a website that brings together single gay adventurers to explore unusual destinations together each year.

I went throughout the country in '05 so i try and help in anyway i can
I live in Banlung, Ratanakiri, Cambodia currently after 5 months in Phnom Penh. I would call Northeastern Cambodia (Kratie and Banlung) and Phnom Penh my specialties. I am currently conducting my doctoral research here and speak Khmer reasonably.
I have been to Cambodia ten times in the past 2 years. i have volunteered at numerous orphanages and schools and now my 14 year old daughter is doing the same. I love Cambodia. You name it I know it about Cambodia.
I travelled to Thailand and Cambodia in 2011 and seeing as i was arriving there from South Korea, could not find a travel guide to buy, so i created my own.
Went to Siem Reap/Angkor via the overland route from Thailand on my honeymoon in May/June 2005. Loved every minute of it, and glad to give advice on getting there from Koh Chang!
I used to live and work in Siem Reap in Cambodia and can help with all aspects of the town as well as travelling in and around Cambodia
Cambodia is able to offer the traveller a completely different experience depending on which area of the country you are exploring, from Temples, Beaches, the Jungle or the Capital.
I run a Cambodian travel company called 'See Cambodia Differently'. We offer tailor made and packaged Cambodian holidays, allowing visitors to experience the true Cambodia.
Cambodia is an extraordinary captivating country and offers its visitors a wealth of experiences and diversity that no other South East Asian country can offer.

I will be able to help plan out your holiday, by giving suggestions of what to see and to do and what part of the country to visit when, all depending on your interests, making sure you get the most out of your time.

I used to live and work in Cambodia. My last trip to the country was in August 2009. I'd be happy to answer questions on transportation, accomodation and the like.
Can help with Phnom Penh and Siemreap only. Had great experiences here.
I worked in Cambodia for 3 months in 2006 (in Phnom Penh) and also travelled around the country.
I founded a 'not for profit' tour organisation in Siem Reap to provide help, itinerary advice, guiding, transportation and discounted accommodation to travellers to Angkor Wat and throughout Cambodia. All benefits pass to local children's educational projects - our first school opened for 500 plus children in October 2006

The Bulls produced their finest performance of their campaign to down the Brumbies 28-17.
Australian teams are renowned for their intelligence and street smarts but that was certainly not in evidence at Loftus this evening. Instead it was the Bulls who boxed smarter, tackled harder, contested the breakdowns with greater intensity and showed a clinical edge with their scoring opportunities in a polished performance.
The Bulls looked the brighter in the early exchanges, troubling the Brumbies at the set phases and matching them in the collisions – blunting their ability to offload in the tackle and generate continuity.
But the Brumbies gradually dragged themselves back into the contest, thanks in large part to the Bulls' ill-discipline, which saw them lose Zane Kirchner and Derick Kuun to the sin-bin in the first half.
However, instead of the Brumbies capitalising on that significant advantage, it was the depleted Bulls who put 10 points on the board, while the Brumbies managed just a penalty. Credit has to go to the Bulls' defensive effort for repelling incessant waves attack, but poor handling and shocking execution in good field positions saw the Brumbies score just three points while playing against 14 men for 20 minutes of the first half.
They'll lament their inability to punish the Bulls, but that has much to do with the youthfulness of their side. The senior heads needed to encourage them to stay composed and patient. Instead there was a desperation about their play when they had the advantage that cost them in the final equation.
The Bulls were on the scoreboard by the fourth minute, JP Nel crossing after the Bulls had sucked defenders in with a couple of phases in the Brumbies 22m. The ball was recycled to Wynand Olivier who spotted the overlap out wide and threw a long pass to Nel, who carried a defender over the tryline on his back.
Morne Steyn and Stirling Mortlock traded penalties before the Brumbies scored through Alister Campbell. The Bulls slipped a tackle in midfield, allowing the Brumbies to get the ball out to the wing. The visitors set up a phase and recycled quickly – Tyrone Smith finding Campbell running a superb angle.
Kirchner was pinned for a dangerous tackle in the build-up and earned an unwanted rest. His side, however, showed bags of character to be the next to score – Wikus van Heerden driving through a ruck on the tryline following some outstanding build up play.
The Brumbies surged into the Bulls' 22m and camped there for seven minutes. However all they could show for their effort was three points and the consolation of having Derick Kuun sin-binned for repeated infringements.
Steyn kicked a penalty just after half-time, but the Brumbies looked the better side.
When they controlled the play through the phases they troubled the Bulls. They also found some joy from numerous inside passes from flyhalf Christian Lealiifano to strike runners who routinely crossed the gain line. Sadly that seemed to be the only avenue of attack that that they profited from.
The Bulls shored up their defence as the half progressed and delivered a number of punishing tackles that rocked the Brumbies ball carriers. The Australians looked every bit as clueless as they had against the Stormers last week and just never looked like unhinging the Bulls' line from structured play.
That pressure defence sucked the fight out of the Brumbies and the Bulls grabbed their third try through Olivier who received the ball 15m out from goal, dummied a pass to his outside and stepped inside the cross cover to score. The Brumbies grabbed a consolation try but the contest was over at that stage.
The Brumbies never asked the right questions this evening but the Bulls will certainly be mulling over one: where were these types of performances all season?
Bulls - Try: JP Nel, Wikus van Heerden, Wynand Olivier. Conversion: Morne Steyn (2). Penalty: Morne Steyn (3)
Brumbies - Try: Alister Campbell, Peter Kimlin. Conversion: Stirling Mortlock (2). Penalty: Mortlock.

(NBC News) The United States Supreme Court has ruled that for-profit companies can claim a religious exemption to the contraceptive insurance mandate of the Affordable Care Act.
It's a victory for Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood and dozens of other companies that sued, arguing they cannot be forced to provide contraceptives that violate the company's religious beliefs.
The companies argued morning after pills and I.U.Ds are akin to abortion by preventing fertilized eggs to implant.
In a 5-4 decision, the court was careful to point out this decision does not allow companies to refuse to pay for other health coverage like blood transfusions and vaccines.
The government had argued that the free contraceptives in the health law are for all women, including those who work for religious for-profit companies.
"Withholding basic health care from woman is bigotry, plain and simple," National Organization for Women President Terry O'Neill said after the deicsion was announced. "We should not accept it no matter how sincerely the belief is held."

As rare condition, mucoepidermoid carcinoma may occur in liver although its etiology and pathogenesis is still unclear. We report here a case of intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma misdiagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by preoperative radiologic and intraoperative histological examinations, respectively. A 60-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of progressive jaundice, epigastric discomfort, and weight loss with slightly increased carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). Computed tomography (CT) showed a large tumor, 8.0 cm in diameter, in the left lobe of the liver. A preliminary diagnosis of a cholangiocarcinoma of the liver was made. In the intraoperative histological examination, a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was made based on predominantly invasive epidermoid cells with abundant keratinization and absence of mucin-producing cell component. However, postoperative histological diagnosis of the lesion was mucoepidermiod carcinoma of liver by thoroughly microscopical inspection and the presence of mucin-producing cells confirmed by Alcian blue staining. Despite surgical excision and chemotherapy, the tumor showed very aggressive malignancy with tumor recurrence. The patient died shortly afterward, surviving 6 months after surgery. Due to its rarity and distinct morphological features, mucoepidermoid carcinoma might be erroneously interpreted as squamous cell carcinoma by those who were not familiar with this condition in unusual locations. Therefore, removal of sufficient tissue from different portions of the lesion is essential for the surgeons and pathologists to make a precise diagnosis in the intraoperative histological examination.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma; Intrahepatic tumor; Histological features; Differential diagnosisBackground
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively common neoplasm of the salivary glands, which rarely arises in other sites, including esophagus, anal canal, skin of the breast, lachrymal sac, thymus, thyroid gland, lung or uterine cervix [1-4]. Primary intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma is rare tumor with only 17 cases described in the English literature so far [5-17]. Because of its relative rarity in liver, its etiology has not yet been elucidated. Terminal intrahepatic bile ducts or biliary congenital cysts have been proposed as a possible origin [5,7,8,11]. Histologically, mucoepidermoid carcinoma is characterized by squamoid (epidermoid), mucus producing and cells of intermediate type. The proportion of different cell types and their architectural configuration varies in and between tumors. In general, it is not difficult to distinguish mucoepidermoid carcinoma from other tumors arising from salivary glands by histopathological examination because of its distinct triphasic cellular morphology. However, mucoepidermoid carcinoma can be confused with squamous cell carcinoma when intermediate cells and epidermoid sometimes are prominent in the tumor. In particular, when the mucoepidermoid carcinoma occurs in an unusual site, a definite diagnosis might not be obtained without carefully histological examination. We present a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma occurring in an old female patient that was misdiagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by both radiologic and intraoperative histopathological examination, respectively.
Case presentation
A 60-year-old Chinese woman, presented with a history of progressive jaundice, epigastric discomfort, anorexia, malaise, and weight loss for 1 month. She had no remarkable medical or family history and had not had viral hepatitis. Clinical examination revealed a deeply jaundiced, emaciated woman without ascites. A hard, irregular liver was palpable 4 cm below the xiphisternum. The results of relevant laboratory studies were as follows: total protein, 7.6 g/dl; albumin, 3.5 g/dl; total bilirubin, 513 u mol/L; GOT, 35U; and GPT, 23U. α-Fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were within the normal range and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) was slightly increased to 50 mg/dl (normal range, 0-37 mg/dl). Hepatitis B viral antigen and hepatitis C antibody assays were negative. Abdominal ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography (CT) both showed a large liver tumor lesion, 8 cm in diameter involving the left lobe of the liver with intrahepatic bile duct stone (Figure 1). Therefore, a preliminary diagnosis of a cholangiocarcinoma of the liver was made, and the patient underwent left hepatic lobectomy with regional lymph node dissection. Intraoperative finding revealed an elastic hard tumor was found in the left lobe of the liver. The cut surface of the resected specimen showed an irregular, yellowish white solid tumor, measuring 8.5 × 6.5 × 3.0 cm, with central necrosis. The border between the tumor and normal liver tissue was indistinct (Figure 2A). A piece of tumor tissue was resected from the surface for intraoperative histological examination. Microscopically, the tumor was predominantly composed of nests of invasive epidermoid cells. Most of the tumor cells were epidermoid with intercellular bridges and keratinization. There were no distinct mucin-producing cells in the tissues (Figure 2B). Based on these findings, the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of liver was made. The mass was totally removed.

(B) Gross examination of resected liver mass showed an irregular, yellowish white solid tumor without a fibrous capsule. The border between the tumor and normal liver tissue was indistinct.

(A) Intraoperative tumor tissue showed the tumor mass was predominantly composed of solid and invasive nests of epidermoid cells with abundant keratinization in desmoplastic stroma. (B) Alcian blue staining showed that there was no mucin-producing cells intermingled within the epidermoid cells nest. (A, HE staining with original magnification × 400; B, Alcian blue staining with original magnification × 400).
Pathological findings
After surgery, routine histological investigation was performed on the removed mass. Histopathological examination revealed that the main tumor was composed of solid and invasive nests of epidermoid cells with desmoplastic stroma. However, in some areas, not only squamous cells, but also mucin-producing and intermediate cells were observed in the tumor. These tumor cells were intermingled or intimately mixed with epidermoid cells, unlike adenosquamous carcinoma. Mucin-producing cells were cuboidal, columnar, or goblet-like. There was extensive necrosis accompanied by neural invasion, lymphatic and blood vessel invasion. Mitotic figures were frequent and there was remarkable cellular pleomorphism. There were several hepatic hilar lymph nodes metastasis found. Immunohistochemically, the epidermoid cells of the tumor were positive to pan-cytokeratin (CK), CK5/6 and p63, but mucin-producing cells were negative to CK5/6 and p63. Alcian blue staining revealed mucin in the cytoplasm of the mucin-producing cells. Based on these findings, the final diagnosis of tumor was revised as mucoepidermoid carcinoma (Figure 3). The histological grading of the tumor was evaluated according to the neural invasion, necrosis, mitotic rate and degree of maturation of cellular components [18]. The tumor was graded as high grade. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Since there was a possibility of tumor metastasis to another anatomical location, the patient was referred to a whole body positron emission tomography (PET)/CT study to search for the potentially secondary tumor, but no abnormality was found. After diagnosis, the patient received chemotherapy with gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin. However, two months later she was admitted into another hospital with recurrent liver disease. She died shortly afterward, surviving 6 months after surgery. No postmortem was performed.

(A) Postoperative histological examination of tumor exhibited that nests of malignant epidermoid cells were intimately mixed with mucus-producing cells. (B) The Alcian blue-positive material was seen in lumen of gland structure and the mucin-producing cells within the nest of epidermoid cells. (C) Tumor cells were diffusely positive for CK7. (D) The epidermoid cells were observed to be positive for p63, but the mucin-producing cells (black arrows) were p63-negative. (E) The lymph nodes metastasis of tumor was observed. (F) The metastatic tumor cells were also positive for p63 partially. (A and E, HE staining with original magnification × 400; B, Alcian blue staining with original magnification × 400; C, D and F, immunohistochemical staining with original magnification × 400).
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of liver is rare. In 1971, Pianzola and Drut reported the first case and suggested that this type of carcinoma arose from the terminal ramifications of bile canaliculi in association with squamous metaplasia [5]. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver is still unclear. Some authors observed the remarkable neoplastic transformation of the normal duct lining epithelium, which suggested a possible of bile duct origination [16]. Some authors proposed that mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver might originate from a congenital cyst because the main tumors were located in the vicinity of multiple seromucinous cysts lined with columnar, cuboidal glandular epithelium with no connection to the biliary system and no bile content [8,11]. The electron micrographs revealed tonofilaments and confirmed the squamous nature of the tumor cells. Immunohistochemical analysis provided evidence of the ductal epithelial origin of this neoplasm with consistently positive for CK7 and negative for CK20. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) accepted the designation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of liver as a rare but distinct variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [19]. It is speculated that the lining epithelia of the congenital cysts in the liver may be transformed into the pluripotential intermediate cells, which may differentiate into both mucus-secreting and squamous cells.
Despite its enigmatic histogenesis, the pathological diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of liver is based on both mucin-producing and epidermoid malignant cells in intimately mixed nests [18]. But establishing a preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of the rarity of these tumors and the fact that there are no specific landmarks in the radiologic examinations. Conventional CT and ultrasonography usually show an intrahepatic mass and make the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Like the most of previously reported cases, the current case was diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the preliminary radiologic examination. In intraoperative investigation, the tumor was predominantly composed of nests of invasive epidermoid cells in desmoplastic stroma without distinct mucin-producing cells component. Furthermore, most of the tumor cells were epidermoid with intercellular bridges and keratinization, which might be regarded as keratinizing pearl of tumor, gave the histological appearance of squamous cell carcinoma. Since the mucoepidermoid carcinoma is rare in liver, these morphological features might be erroneously interpreted squamous cell carcinoma by those who were not familiar with this condition. This might be the reason that led to the misdiagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. In our case, it was difficult for pathologists to provide a precise diagnosis from a few very small tumor tissues in the intraoperative histological investigation. However, in routine histological examination, correct diagnosis was gained by thorough inspection and presence of mucin-producing cells component. Therefore, surgeons should be responsible for removing sufficient tumor tissue from different portions of the tumor even if the first specimen supports the radiologic diagnosis.
To our knowledge, only 17 cases of primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver have been described in the literature so far [5-17] (Table 1). The ratio of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of liver incidence in women and men is 8:9, which is different from this tumor occurring in salivary gland with a 3:2 female predilection. Intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma seems to occur frequently in elderly patients (ranged from 35 to 81 years with mean age of 60), although its counterpart in salivary gland occur most commonly in patients under 40 years old [18]. 11 of 17 cases had lymph nodes and (or) distant metastasis and 15 patients died of disease within 7 days to 11 months after excision, although several cases received chemotherapy after surgical resection, including our case. In laboratory data, more than half the cases showed high CEA or CA19-9 with normal AFP and was diagnosed preoperatively as cholangiocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Only one case showed elevated the tumor marker of squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting a squamous component [15]. However, none of previously reported cases was diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver preoperatively. That indicates diagnosing primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the liver is clinically difficult because these tumors are rare and have no specific findings by radiological and laboratory examinations. Therefore, percutaneous biopsy is needed for this tumor to obtain a definite diagnosis preoperatively [17].
Table 1. Clinicopathological features of intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma described in present and previous reports
Mucoepidermoid carcinomas arising in salivary gland and central airway of lung should be distinguished from other salivary gland-type tumors, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, and pleomorphic adenoma, especially in pediatric population [20,21]. Recent study has demonstrated that decreased expression of maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) and marked increase of MCM2 (minichromosome maintance-2) expression support the diagnosis of high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma [22]. However, due to their rarity and distinct morphological features, primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver is sometimes misdiagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia, adenosquamous carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma because the proportion of different cell types and their architectural configuration varies in and between tumors. Higuchi et al. emphasized the importance of differential diagnosis for adenosquamous carcinoma, adenoacanthoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma when they occurred in liver [23]. In the present case, the epidermoid cell population and keratinization were prominent in the tumor, which might be erroneously interpreted as squamous cell carcinoma. However, mucin-producing cell is absent in the squamous cell carcinoma, which can be demonstrated in majority of tumor by Alcian blue and diastase-PAS staining. Sufficient tissue from different parts of the tumor and thorough inspection to find the mucin-producing cells will facilitate the precise diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Adenosquamous carcinoma combines an adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Unlike mucoepidermoid carcinoma, the two components of adenosquamous carcinoma show either as separate areas within the tumor or admixed. However, mucin-secreting cells were observed to intermingle or intimately mixed with epidermoid cells in mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In rare condition, cholangiocarcinomas containing discrete foci of benign-appearing squamous metaplasia are termed adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation or adenoacanthoma, which might be confused with mucoepidermoid carcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma. But the absence of mucin-secreting cells within the foci of squamous metaplasia will help to distinguish this tumor from with mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver is regarded as an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis despite surgical treatment. Recent study suggested that aberrant expression of p53 and mdm-2 correlated with the high histological grade of the tumor and were associated with tumor behavior and local recurrence [24]. Among those reported cases, more than 10 patients died within 6 months after the initial diagnosis [5-8,10,12,14-17]. Our patient survived for only 6 months after aggressive surgical intervention and chemotherapy. The specific chemotherapy regimen for mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver has not yet been established. The reported chemotherapy regimens for intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma were based on the standards for it in salivary glands, including adriamycin/mitomycin combination, methotrexate/fluorouracil combination, or ormitomycin as a single agent. Some researchers suggested that molecular targeted chemotherapy including an anti-HER2 or anti-epidermal growth factor (EGFR)-based regimen might be the most promising strategy for treatment of salivary gland cancers [25-27]. However, the overexpression or gene amplification of HER2 in intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma has not been clarified yet, although it could be detected in up to one-third of patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the salivary glands. Therefore, researchers suggest multi-institutional studies are needed to clarify the histogenesis and biological behavior of primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the liver [16].
In conclusion, we reported an unusual case of intrahepatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma by intraoperative histological examination. Due to its rarity, mucoepidermoid carcinoma may be erroneously interpreted as squamous cell carcinoma when the epidermoid cell population and keratinization were prominent in the tumor. Therefore, more precise diagnosis for those rare cases in the intraoperative histological examination is facilitated by obtaining sufficient tissue from different parts of the lesion.

A severe shortage of faculty is a problem at IMU
A group of recently-recruited teachers have begun a revolt against the controversy-ridden Indian Maritime University, bringing to light several malpractices at the Central government institute.
When it was founded in 2009, the IMU was setting out to standardise maritime education across the country and provide the shipping sector with skilled manpower. Four years on, the Centrally-governed is clearly short of its goal.
The 30 teachers originally recruited as permanent faculty members in January, have refused to sign a document issued by the IMU that would convert their positions into contract-based ones.
With doctorates from reputed institutions such as Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Indian Institutes of Technology, they came aboard IMU following a recruitment drive spearheaded by then Vice Chancellor Prof. G. Raghuram. The professor however, resigned from the V-C's post last month after spending barely seven months in office. Sources close to Prof. Raghuram say he was being targeted for recruiting qualified teachers as permanent staff. The professor was not available for comments.
According to faculty members, the University has, since its inception, operated mostly with contract teachers or those paid on an hourly basis. "The contract system helps the management follow a hire-and-fire policy. Teachers are often terminated with extremely short notice periods and never paid promised allowances," said a faculty member.
The 30 teachers have not been paid their salaries ever since they joined. In February, their appointments were put on hold, following allegations that the V-C had flouted recommended norms in their recruitment.
A committee comprising three officials from the Shipping Department was formed to investigate the matter. The report, which had to be submitted in a month, was never made public. Meanwhile, the faculty members were asked to sign a document accepting contract status and undertaking to work on any IMU campus.
"We have very few teachers in management, nautical sciences and marine engineering. Prof. Raghuram wanted to establish an interdisciplinary university," said a faculty member, justifying Raghuram's move.
"The recruitment had also been ratified by the executive committee which had members from the Shipping Ministry," he added.
"The committee which enquired into the recruitment consisted only of shipping ministry officials. It did not have a single academic," said another teacher. "Most charges against Prof. Raghuram were trivial, such as conducting interviews through Skype. We had eligible candidates from abroad so the preliminary interviews had to be done online," she added.
The teachers have written to senior officials at the Shipping Ministry, but have not received a reply as yet.
"Until 2011, our courses were not upgraded. We did not have a registrar or an exam officer in place. Attendance in classes was less than 25 per cent," said a former IMU faculty member, who works at a deemed maritime university now.
A severe shortage of faculty too, is a problem at IMU. Former faculty member Captain M. A. Pillai said, "Answer sheets of students from affiliated colleges would remain piled up and would be evaluated by visiting faculty in the most random manner."
Shipping Ministry officials however said the recent recruitments have not been cancelled and a decision will be made once the committee's report is available. They also denied having issued any instructions asking faculty to accept contract offers.
Even the timetable was not adhered to, till Prof. Raghuram intervened, said students. "Last year, a few of us were made to scrutinise application forms of workers that had applied for jobs," said a student.

The Department of Justice is taking AT&T to court over accusations the telecom giant defrauded a government program to provide telephone communications for people with hearing impairments.
The government reimburses telecom companies that provide Internet Protocol Relay systems, which allow people with hearing impairments to type phone messages over the Internet.
Officials say AT&T, fearing that the loss of the revenue, knowingly allowed ineligible people to use the system, then billed the government for "millions of dollars." To reduce fraud, companies are required to verify users, but the lawsuit accuses AT&T of failing to do so.
"Taxpayers must not bear the cost of abuses of the Telecommunications Relay system," U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania David Hickton said in a statement. "Those who misuse funds intended to benefit the hearing- and speech-impaired must be held accountable."
For its part, AT&T says it it was following Federal Communications Commission rules and isn't responsible for abuse of the system.
"As the FCC is aware, it is always possible for an individual to misuse IP Relay services, just as someone can misuse the postal system or an email account, but FCC rules require that we complete all calls by customers who identify themselves as disabled," AT&T spokesman Marty Richter said in a statement.
The DOJ complaint joins a lawsuit originally brought under whistle-blower laws by a former employee in an AT&T call center.
Over the years, the system has been abused, often by people in Nigeria who use the system to buy goods with stolen credit cards, according to the complaint.

20 hours for Lunch @ Ooty, India
There's something called the itch to ride, and what an itch that is...
Over the past few months due to various personal commitments I was just unable to ride out as frequently as I would like to, but I tried to make up for the itch by short rides as and when possible. Something as mundane as a breakfast across the state border for some authentic Pongal vadai @ Shoolagiri to maybe just a all night ride to the Kolar Coffee Day and a exploration ride to find new places to ride to. Yes, it might seem that food is the central theme of a ride, but let me just stop you there and say its all but an excuse to ride... An excuse like I want original Coorg honey or maybe fresh Saklespur Coffee ... :D The excuse this time was a long pending ride to the 'Queen of hill stations' Ooty for lunch, and what an excuse this was :p... Since this was intended to be a circuit the only overlapping stretch of the onward and return journey was was the last 10 kilometers to home inside Bangalore city. For the rest of the journey we took a different routes to enter and exit Ooty. Route - Map! Please bear with me the log and pictures will be minimalistic, this was more of a Ride! Ride! Ride! :) This was going to be a no-frills simple ride, I posted if anyone wanted to join me and got a response from two people Tejas and Bharath. We decided to leave as early as possible. But as all rides go, you don't start a ride till you start late :D. We started from Kanakpura road at around 4.45AM as opposed to the proposed 4AM start. Tejas was leading on the R15, followed by Bharath on the CBR and I was tailing on my old devil the P220. The beauty of riding with seasoned riders is that you don't have dish out instructions, they know the unsaid, unwritten code that most seasoned riders follow most of the time unknowingly. I was visibly slower than the both of them party due to my slower bike and partly due to the fact that I had recently bent an alloy so was not looking forward of having that 'gift' again. Progress was pretty fast as the roads were more or less empty barring the odd retard here and there who would be coming at you HI beams ON blinding you completely, we were hovering around the tonne mark for most of the ride. We stopped briefly at time for either the call of nature or a short photo break. Our first proper break for pictures was just out side of Malavalli and after an hour we stopped again for breakfast at Chamrajanagar. The road surface alternated between being smooth to broken to some killer potholes. NOTE: All pictures are clickable to view larger res versions First break outside of Malavalli https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U...0/IMG_9413.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i...0/IMG_9414.jpg Breakfast break at Chamrajanagar https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-w...0/DSC09040.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F...0/DSC09039.JPG Beyond Chamrajanagar the road starts twisting and turning and the forest cover starts getting denser. Finally it gives way to the superb Sathyamangalam ghats, the roads are noticeably better on the other side of the border as soon as you enter Tamil Nadu. This is where I took over the lead for a while as I love ripping around the twisties especially if its a upward climb. Inside the Sathyamangalam Forest https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-B...0/IMG_9418.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-v...0/IMG_9419.jpg Biker in the woods :D https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7...0/IMG_9416.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H...0/IMG_9420.jpg At the top of Sathyamangalam Ghats https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-G...0/IMG_9421.jpg Bharath and the CeeBeeAar https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V...0/IMG_9422.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-a...424_stitch.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-h...0/IMG_9432.jpg At this point I could hear a rattle somewhere in my bike first instinct was that the starter clutch springs have broken again, but that would be impossible considering the starter clutch is brand new! I din't bother too much about it, its a Pulsar stuff like this happens... Keep Riding!:cool: We got off the ghats and took a call if we wanted to visit Bhavanisagar dam, dropped the idea as Tejas was running low on fuel. From the base the roads straightens out and the surface is just wow! After a fuel stop the riding formation reversed again and I was back at the tail end. But since it was day light Bharath and Tejas were much faster than I could keep up, and soon lost them :D. I saw the turn for Mettupalayam and took it hoping to see these guys at the turn but they were not there so I guessed they have gone ahead on this route, this time I sped up and tried catching up with time. After about 10 Kms I still din't see them so I pulled over to give them a call, apparently they had missed the shortcut turn and headed straight towards Coimby :D. Confusions were cleared and they caught up in about 15 minutes. This was a narrow stretch of village roads but still it was in top shape. We were soon at Mettupalayam and starting up the ascent towards Conoor. Wider roads, lesser traffic and superb twisties meant I went flying like a ballistic missile :D reversing the riding formation again, scraping my bike's main stand at most of the corners leaving behind sparks and all I soon lost Bharath and Tejas after what felt like an eternity I decided to take a break so that these guys caught up, but they din't keep me waiting for long within 5 minutes even they had caught up :D Lost in the Village Roads! https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M...0/DSC09042.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Z...0/DSC09043.JPG Nilgiris Approaching... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x...0/IMG_9433.jpg Somewhere on the Conoor Ghats https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5...0/IMG_9436.jpg Tejas arriving https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s...0/IMG_9438.jpg Bharath right behind him! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7...0/IMG_9440.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-j...0/IMG_9442.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-O...0/IMG_9443.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-K...0/IMG_9444.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--...446_stitch.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-p...520Collage.jpg As we had gotten down from Sathyamangalam it had become progressively hotter, but with every turn up the Conoor ghats it was becoming progressively cooler. We took a tea break on the ghats before the Conoor town limits start. We dint head straight to Ooty as we entered Conoor, instead we turned towards Wellington where I'd spent a year of my childhood back in 93-94. Spent the next 2 hours criss crossing Wellington and Upper Conoor re-living back memories from my childhood from visiting my old school to seeing the house where I used to live it was an amazing experience. I took it all in slowly as we just ambled along the roads at a slow pace. We even spotted BMW R1200 GS in the process being ridden around. :D From the wellington side we hit the Conoor-Ooty highway and moved towards Ooty. After a bit of confusion in Ooty where in the three of us got lost in different directions thanks to the traffic :D after nearly 20 minutes we all got together and pulled over for lunch at a place called Kabab Corner or something like that [see I told you the lunch was just an excuse, I don't even remember the name of the place where we had lunch :p] https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7...0/IMG_9456.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-d...0/IMG_9458.jpg As soon as we had finished lunch a light drizzle had set in and the chill in the air just got a little bit more. This was the first I tanked up in the trip, it was round 2 for Tejas and Bharath :D We had decided not to take the Masingudi route and instead take the longer Gudalur route, if you ask why? Well the only reasons we had was that it was longer and we had never been on that route :D.. Despite knowing that the Masingudi stretch is far more exciting! We were greeted with light showers at times, but the roads were wet for most of the part as we got out of Ooty. The weather was simply amazing with the light rains, light fog coming and going... if I was put it into one word it has to be 'Rejuvenating'...The exit from Ooty and subsequent descent was the highlight of the trip for me. Rain, Clouds, Tea Estate and superb twisty roads... What more do you want? https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o...0/IMG_9465.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k...469_stitch.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s...0/IMG_9475.jpg From a view point on the Gudalur Ghats https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-r...0/IMG_9479.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3...0/IMG_9480.jpg Soon after Gudalur we entered Tiger territory the twin national parks of Mudumalai and Bandipur. We took it real slow inside and were riding at about 30-40 kmph for the most bit. I took a couple of pictures from my cellphone while were inside Bandipur. Though we din't spot much of wildlife barring the few monkeys here and there, a few peacocks, a wild bison and 2 deer who jumped across the road few seconds before I had passed. The wild road was really nice to be riding through. Bharath https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-l.../Photo0107.jpg Bharath on the red HAWT CBR https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-l.../Photo0110.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q.../Photo0112.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e.../Photo0116.jpg Notice the red spots, they were the deer who had leaped across a few moments before https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-R.../Photo0118.jpg The sun was setting and I prefer taking a 15 minutes break at sundown so the visibility improves and the Coffee Day at Gundulpet was placed at the right spot, we took a long break here gulping down some coffee and just chilling. After an extended break we started our ride back to Bangalore. Luckily there wasn't much traffic and we made it Mysore pretty quickly only to be welcomed by the offroading of the Mysore ring road :D. We took another break on Mysore road to just relax and rehydrate as soon as we touched it. After this the next break was at the Maddur Coffee day, again we were lucky that there wasn't much crowd or rather no crowd at Maddur CCD that saturday evening. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-o...0/IMG_9484.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2...0/IMG_9487.jpg We split up at the NICE road intersection where Bharath and Tejas took the NICE road to head back home and I took the shorter route through the city back home. I got back home around 1AM after being on the road for almost 20 hours, we had covered over 700 Kms on different kinds of roads from absolute super fast 4 laned roads to twisties to even some back roads through villages.... Now this is what I call a good lunch! :D :D :D Ride Hard and Ride Safe fellow bikers! :cool: |

Left to Right: Peachy, Rose |
First things first: these definitely last all day on me. That's saying something, for me, because in the summer months when my face gets a little sweaty, a lot of blushes just seem to wear away. I also really like that these are pigmented but not too pigmented, at least for me. A lot of mineral companies fall into the trap of making their blushes as pigmented as their eyeshadows, and that just doesn't work: People look for blush to be a lot more sheer than they usually want their eyeshadow to be.
On to the colors:
Left to Right: Peachy swatched heavily, Peachy blended out |
Peachy on face. |
Left to Right: Rose swatched heavily, Rose blended out |
Rose on face. |
Rosy in a more dramatic look that I'll be posting this coming Monday. |
The Good:
- Great wear. All day, no fading!
- I like the medium sort of pigmentation. I didn't have to work to make it show up, and I didn't have to work to sheer it down, either.
- I think these colors would both be flattering across a wide range of skin tones.
- Affordable: $7.50 for 3 grams of product.
Nothing I can think of!
- These both have shimmer (Peachy more than Rose). If you aren't into shimmer, I don't think you'll like Peachy. Rose might still be fine, though, as it has more of a sheen than a shimmer.
These are currently available for $7.50 in Christina Marie Minerals's etsy shop.

Grantee Name: | Tucson Unified School District |
Project Name: | Magnet School Program |
Project Director: |
Teri Melendez |
Telephone: |
(520) 225-6304 |
Email: |
Number of Schools Served: |
3 |
Number of Students Served: |
Year 1 Funding: |
$2,376,751 |
Total (3-Year) Funding: |
$6,437,067 |
The proposed project was designed to address specific needs identified in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD). TUSD is a large urban school district that was under desegregation court order until this past year when unitary status was confirmed. At that time a Voluntary Desegregation Plan was implanted and is in effect. TUSD's total enrollment of over 55,000 students has been increasing in minority enrollment for the past 20 years and is also faced with declining enrollment overall. There are over 8,000 students who are English Language Learners. There continue to be disparities in achievement between minorities and non-minorities which would be addressed in this grant.
Three schools are the subject of this grant. They include Robison Elementary, a new magnet school implementing International Baccalaureate; Ochoa Elementary School implementing a new magnet, Reggio Emilio; and Safford Elementary and Magnet Middle School (K-8) that represents both a new magnet school and significant revision of an existing magnet.
Currently Safford Middle School has been a magnet and the elementary school on the same campus has not. This grant provides an opportunity to implement the new magnet program of International Baccalaureate that provides a K-8 articulated magnet program and can feed into the only IB High School in the area.
TUSD recently attained unitary status and now operates under a voluntary desegregation plan with the same goals. This grant would allow us to expand magnet offerings and support our efforts to reduce minority isolation. Goals include reducing and preventing minority group isolation; improving student achievement and building capacity to continue magnet programs at the end of the grant. Objectives address gaining an ethnic balance at sites affected, incorporating new teaching strategies, increased student achievement, increasing teacher knowledge and skills and increasing parent involvement. Services provided include professional development, family activities, development of marketing materials, student academic support, and frequent student progress monitoring. Anticipated outcomes include increased student achievement, reduction in minority isolations, development of a sustainable magnet program, implementation of new and supportive strategies by teachers, and satisfaction with program offerings.

To be truly useful, for the purpose you stated, we need to see how these numbers compare to past seasons. We've never been a vertical offense, this is a WCO. At the same time, those runs, those short passes would set us up for the big play down the field.
There's no doubt in my mind, that 2012's offense was limited compared to our offense in the past. What I don't agree with is that Matt Schaub & Gary Kubiak were the limiting factors. Loosing Jacoby hurt us more than some want to admit.
KDub isn't going to get YAC & though he may get down the field every now & again, defenses aren't drawn away from the LOS because of it. OD & James Casey may get you some YAC, but they're not going to get the defenses to back up & spread out.
I am not saying we didn't win the Super Bowl because we didn't have Jacoby Jones. I don't think he would have had as many catches as Walter had we cut Walter & kept Jones. But he would have had as many if not more yards & he'd have had a higher ypc. There would have been more space for everyone else on the field. I never thought Jacoby was better than Walter, just different & for this offense, I prefer to have Jacoby.
