[Question] Disneyland 55th Ann.Tags: None
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
Good question.Follies of the Living..............Concerns of the Dead
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
I dunno, Iv'e heard nothing yet. Maybe after the "Celebrate" thingy is over, we'll start to hear mentions of it
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
Didn't Al talk about this
That they were planning some stuff
but with budgets cuts, what might have been a green light is no longer?
Maybe someone else remembers better on what Al said so many months ago (6 maybe?)
I think the best you are going to get is the new refurb of Electrical Parade (this year) and the upgrades of F! (this year)
World of Color is most likely the newest thing.
With Cars land and Little Mermaid following after the 55th.
And even all that's going on in DCA, that is suppose to be all geared up for when it turns 10.
Correct?Quote by Al:
To that end I'd like the Internet community to join me in reminding the Disney company that "it all started with Walt." As you can see below we've created some T-shirts, plus a few simple graphics that you can copy and paste into your websites to let folks know how you feel.
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
After DCA has all of its changes made, then it will no longer be 10 years old. For it will essentially be a new park. So therefore, only the original parts of it, should then be celebrating its 10 th Anniversary.Follies of the Living..............Concerns of the Dead

DCA will turn 10 years old in 2011, because the park opened in 2001. (And maybe someone will give a rats @$$ about the park's anniversaries by then.)
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
I believe there's going to be an elaborate new parade, called "Worlds of Wonder", and the Electrical Parade may be returning to DL.
(Both rumors, of course)Last edited by dland_lover; 06-10-2009, 07:06 AM. Reason: Why did I put an apostrophe in there? That's not what I had meant... >_<
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
It is but a thought, and my opinion. I know that Dl has changed and expanded over time. It is a much older park. Maybe if Disney had done a better job of DCA, then major changes would not have been made necessary. I am not a fan of DCA, Dl. yes.Follies of the Living..............Concerns of the Dead
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
We know about the Star Tours upgrade which is coming soon, but I don't know if it will be completed in time to coincide with the 55th campaign.
Assuming that Disney sticks to their promise that Magical is a limited engagement, there will also be a new fireworks show.
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
55 is going to be something that I will be waiting to see.
I do think that just maybe Main Street Electrical Parade might just comeback due to the construction havoc that is going to take place at the Plaza but we will have to see!!!Follow me on Twitter @hurricanefreak
"hope for the best plan for the worst"
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
I assume when the 55th Celebration rolls around, they will have a BRAND NEW parade and fireworks.
Re: Disneyland 55th Ann.
I think it would be cool if they brought ELP back to DL. I never went when it was at DL, and saw it at DCA a while back. But even though i had never seen it in DL, it just didn't feel right watching it in DCA for what ever reason. Maybe its just cuz i love sitting on main street watchin parades and sitting next to/ around sunshine plaza doesn't give the same experience haha.sigpic

Weightier than other 10-inch tablets, but slide out the keyboard and you'll see its secret weapon. Great overall build and a keyboard that's a dream to use
The combination of touch-screen and keyboard raises this tablet to a new standard of usability and entertainment. Input text with the keyboard, browse and click with your hand – it's seemless and gets you into a really exciting and joined up way of using technology
The Android Honeycomb 3.2 OS makes for a fantastically customisable experience, and the tablet comes with some handy preloaded apps to get you started, such as Polaris Office
The Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor keeps things ticking over nicely, so not too much lag to report apart from the odd video glitch on things like the iPlayer, and at times the touch-screen is unresponsive
The kind of tablet that will happily see you through a day's emailing, writing and social networking, but video eats that battery life up fast

Inputting and editing text is simply brilliant, screen is sharp and colourful, seemless transition between work and play
Expensive at £450, touch-screen can be temperamental, heavier and thicker than other 10-inch tablets
Tablets are cool. It's as simple as that. It's hard to write a review of any tablet without resorting to words that emphasise their coolness, but the elegantly designed elephant in the room is that in most cases they are a luxurious extra somewhere in between your smartphone and your laptop. Gun to your head, would you actually replace your laptop or netbook with a tablet? Unless you have an enviable disposable income then probably not. Years of working on desktop PCs or Macbooks have made us creatures of habit and the prospect of forking out £300-plus on something that allows us to check email without leaving the couch but can't fully replicate the experience of direct input via a keyboard doesn't quite sit well. It feels like a laptop is still required as a safety net, thereby making that investment in tantilising touch-screen tech a hedonistic step too far for most of us. The holy grail of tablets is a device that combines the fun of a touch-screen with the functionality of a laptop without compromising on either. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer was a revelation, with its slinky form and brilliant detachable keyboard, but the Asus Eee Pad Slider is possibly the finest example of this concept on the market.
Just a few hours after booting up this beautifully engineered device with its crisp 10-inch multi-touch display and astoundingly comfortable slide-out keyboard and you'll start to think, is this the moment that I've been waiting for? While it is entirely possible to type out whole essays and long emails on a touch-screen device, the fact remains that many lack the patience to deal with an on-screen keyboard for prolongued lengths of time. We want more formatting, we like keys. The Asus Eee Pad Slider joins the practicality of a laptop seemlessly with the fun of a touch-screen tablet.
This doesn't feel like a Frankenstein-like cobbling together of a tablet and a keyboard. This is a curvy tablet with a black frame on screen, edged with silver and a combination of metallic black and silver on its back. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a featherweight 565g and mere 8.6mm thick; the iPad 2 is not too far behind, weighing 607g and just 8.8mm. The Asus Eee Pad Slider is almost double the size at 17.3mm and at 960g it's certainly a tad heavier. That said, it's not as heavy as you might think a gadget discreetly hiding a keyboard would be. The touch-screen portion of the tablet is free of buttons – these are all to be found on the keyboard base of the device, and positioned around a landscape orientation. Up top you'll find a charge and mini HDMI port. Down the left is the microSD port for extra memory, a reset button, volume rocker and power/sleep button. The right hand side houses your 3.5mm headphone jack and USB. Landscape mode is naturally where the keyboard is revealed; after gently prising the top open you'll find a small but well spaced and responsive keyboard that makes typing an absolute breeze.
Even spacing, a satisfying click of the keys and everything we've become subconsciously used to – it's like any other keyboard really but elegantly designed into a tablet to give you a unique way of working. Typing on this tablet is quite simply brilliant. If you're a very fast typer then you may find yourself editing quite a bit, especially as you get used to downsizing your movements from a desktop to this scaled down version. Thankfully, the combination of QWERTY keyboard and touch-screen makes this easy; one touch and your cursor moves to the offending character and you can get back on track. Use this long enough and the idea of going back to a regular non-touch-screen seems odd and inconvenient. What you'll really love about the experience is how seemlessly you can work and play. You'll be typing out a document and a push notification for Facebook, Twitter or that important business email you've been waiting for will appear at the bottom of the screen for you to access. Of course, you get notifications while you're typing on any touch-screen, but that's not quite the same. You feel like you're not missing out on anything at all, whether that's at work or at play.
The Eee Pad Slider runs on Android Honeycomb 3.2 (updatable to Ice Cream Sandwich), so we're already in user-friendly, customisation territory straight out of the box. No vast array of preloaded apps, but you'll find the usual email, calendar and map suspects to get you started. You'll also find some unique Asus apps such as its cloud storage service MyCloud, media streaming programme MyNet and the MyLibrary app that consolidates all your books as well as newspaper and magazine subscriptions. Polaris Office 3.0 also comes preloaded on the device and allows you to format your documents just as you would on a regular PC or Mac. The operating system is helped along by a Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor that makes multitasking that little bit slicker. The interface has five customisable home screens set in a 3D carousel with single touch access to any of your programs via the top right Apps option. The Eee Pad Slider even has two cameras: a five megapixel rear-facing snapper for capturing high-res images and a front-facing 1.2-megapixel lens for video calls. The 10.1-inch LED backlight screen is delightfully crisp and colourful, perfect for watching movies, playing games or just checking your Twitter timeline. Flash videos play well, except for the odd flash of black when streaming from iPlayer. For the most part, expect a great viewing experience.It's not perfect though. The touch-screen was at times maddeningly unresponsive and while browsing the web was solid, there was the odd slow down or glitch when watching videos or zooming in. Your charge will last you a full day of typing and social networking but that'll run out fast once you start viewing videos or playing games. Where this tablet will not make friends is in its £450 price tag and lack of 3G, as well as its hybrid hardware and the impact it has on its portability. Tipping the scales at 960g and a hefty 17.3mm thick, the Eee Pad Slider is no skinny minnie and it's heavier than many of its 10-inch peers. Frankly, to hell with it – the keyboard is what makes this tablet so special. It's in the responsiveness of the keys, the surprise you get when you open it out – the mechanism is fluid and it sits perfectly at an ideal angle for viewing videos, entering text or just bumming around on your social networks. It's not at all flimsy, but it doesn't feel bulky in hand either. Yes, there's a little extra weight, but for what you're getting it's positively feather-light. Just being able to type and swipe made the Android experience on the Asus Eee Pad Slider that little bit more special.
As much as touch-screens feel like a little slice of the future, the joy of using one is going to be lost to many who consider the lack of a keyboard to be a non-negotiable. Offering the best of both worlds is a tough line to walk and some devices end up a muddied mess of good intentions, but the Asus Eee Pad Slider will reinvigorate your belief that you can have it all without sacrificing the tactile pleasure and accuracy of typing on a keyboard. This is a high-end device that comes with a high-end price tag, but if you are going to buy a tablet and have fretted over that seemingly essential back-up laptop, then the Asus Eee Pad Slider is the device you need to consider. Android customisability, a user-friendly interface with preloaded apps you will actually use and a beautifully designed form that incorporates that superlative keyboard. If there is one tablet to finally answer the question of whether a tablet can fittingly replace a traditional computer, it is the Asus Eee Pad Slider.

Mama was the last cat trapped at a "closed" trailer court in Council Bluffs. She always stayed down by the lake or in one of the vacant trailers, she started coming to "Mama" and it took a month and a half to bait trap her. She has a big distrust of people so we don't know where her previous owners went or why she was left behind. She is around 5-6 yrs old, and has some old scar tissue on one eye. She has been living inside for 8 months and seems to be used to it. She uses her potty box all the time and likes treats of canned food daily. She tolerates dogs and chases other cats out of her room.
She plays with cat toys when you're not looking, likes to look out the windows, and "talks" like she's lonely sometimes. She likes to be petted and brushed "most" of the time, but she gets nervous and will "smack" you sometimes! I wish I knew her history, but it is like she wants to be a good girl, but just doesn't trust. I promised her a home... now someone help my promise come true for her! She doesn't really show any interest to go back outside, but that is an option if it's the right situation.
Mama loves cat nip and laying on her foster mom's chest.

HPV-based Tests for Cervical Cancer Screening and Management of Cervical Disease
- First Online:
- Citations
- 974 Downloads
Current cervical cancer screening programs are changing due to the development of tests that detect the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV), the cause of cervical cancer. These tests are more sensitive than cytology-based methods for detecting cervical precancer and a negative test offers long-term assurance that cervical cancer will not develop and therefore longer screening intervals can be achieved. In screening programs, HPV-based tests have been approved to triage women with equivocal cytology results and as a primary testing method in conjunction with cytology. HPV-based tests also have a role in determining risk of recurrence after treatment for cervical precancer as well as in surveillance for vaccine-related changes in HPV genotype prevalence.
KeywordsHPV Cervical Cancer Screening Cervical Precancer Detection of HPV Prevention Screening Programs
Since the implementation of cytology-based screening programs, or Pap tests, several decades ago, the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer has been declining in developed countries, such as the United States [1]. However, the identification of human papillomaviruses (HPV) as the necessary cause of cervical cancer has changed the paradigm of cervical cancer prevention. For primary prevention, two vaccines that protect against infection by two carcinogenic HPV types (HPV16 and 18) have been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For secondary prevention, HPV-based tests can identify women at risk for cervical cancer and its precursors and are being incorporated into current screening programs.
Although more than 100 HPV types have been identified to date, only approximately a dozen have been classified as carcinogenic (Group 1) by the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) [2]. These types include HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 59. HPV68 is considered probably carcinogenic (Group 2A) and an additional 12 HPV types are classified as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B; includes HPV26, 30, 34, 53, 66, 67, 69, 70, 73, 82, 85, and 97). Other HPV types are considered low-risk (LR) and are not related to cancer; however, HPV6 and 11 are associated with ~90 % of genital warts.
Natural History of HPV Infections and Cervical Carcinogenesis
Most sexually active women are infected with HPV at least once in their lifetime; however, because most of these women clear the infection, cervical precancers and cancers rarely develop. Infections with multiple HPV genotypes are common, especially among young women [3]. Approximately half of incident infections are undetectable within a year and more than 90 % are undetectable after 3 years [4]. The rate of clearance is highest in the first few months following an infection and diminishes over time [5]. Although persistent infections are uncommon, they carry the highest risk of progressing to cancer. Data from large cohort studies have demonstrated that incident infections at older age are not associated with higher risk of persistence or progression compared with incident infections that occur at younger ages [4, 6].
The prevalence of HPV infections peak a few years after the onset of sexual activity and continue to decrease over time [7, 8]. In the United States, this corresponds to the highest prevalence of HPV infections in the early 20s. If the infection persists, cervical precancer (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3)) develops during the next decade, with peak incidence of CIN3 occurring in the mid-20s to 30s. Finally, if left untreated, CIN3 can become invasive carcinoma. This transition takes several decades with the average age of cervical cancer diagnosis in the mid- to late-40s. These progression timelines are similar across populations but may shift based on the average of age at sexual debut. In few places, mainly Africa and Asia, different prevalence age curves have been observed, characterized by high HPV prevalence in older women compared with other places [9, 10]. The reasons for the different patterns of HPV prevalence in these populations are unknown.
Numerous studies of the prevalence of HPV types across the world have identified HPV16 as the most prevalent type in cervical cancers [11]. A cohort study from Costa Rica showed that among women with persistent infection, HPV16 was more likely to progress compared to other types [8]. The second most common HPV type in cancers worldwide is HPV18; this type is found in a higher proportion of adenocarcinomas compared to squamous cancers. Other carcinogenic types have a lower prevalence but still contribute to the overall cervical cancer burden, albeit to lesser degrees.

HPV DNA Assays
HPV DNA assays can be divided into the following subgroups: 1) assays that test for the presence of carcinogenic HPV types without providing individual genotyping information; 2) assays that provide genotyping information for few important carcinogenic HPV types, mostly HPV16 and HPV18 (either alone or in conjunction with a test for the presence of carcinogenic HPV); and 3) assays for genotyping a large number of HPV types simultaneously. Because there is currently no clinical benefit of individual genotyping beyond the most important carcinogenic types HPV16 and HPV18, only the first two types of tests are used in screening programs. Tests providing extended genotyping information are primarily used in research or surveillance studies.
The most commonly used HPV DNA assay worldwide is the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) HPV DNA Test (QIAGEN), which is a hybridization-based assay that detects 13 carcinogenic HPV types and HPV66; however, cross-reaction with noncarcinogenic HPV types has been described [12]. HC2 was approved in 1999 by the FDA for the triage of women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) cytology to determine which women should be referred to colposcopy and in 2003 for primary screening in conjunction with cytology. Many cohort, cross-sectional, and randomized controlled trials have evaluated HC2 for the detection of cervical precancer and have been summarized in several meta-analyses [13•, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]. The most recent meta-analysis describing the cross-sectional accuracy of HC2 report an overall sensitivity of 90 % for the detection of CIN2+ and 95 % for CIN3+, with significant heterogeneity in the estimates from developing countries, but not in industrialized countries and China [13•]. The heterogeneity observed in studies from developing countries may be due to limitations in colposcopy performance and histology verification [14]. The corresponding specificity of HC2 for the detection of CIN2+ was reported as 88 % [13•]. Another widely evaluated HPV DNA test is the GP5+/6 + −EIA assay, which is PCR-based, using consensus primers to detect the presence of 13 carcinogenic HPV types and HPV66. The cutoff for positivity for this assay was chosen to provide similar sensitivity and specificity to HC2. Based on the extensive evaluation of these two assays in cervical cancer prevention, minimal criteria for analytic and clinical evaluation of HPV assays have been proposed [18]. According to the recommendations, newly developed assays should reach at least 90 % of the sensitivity and 98 % of the specificity of HC2 or EIA to be considered for use in cervical cancer screening programs.
The careHPV Test (QIAGEN) is a hybridization assay based on HC2 that is low cost and does not require extensive training or complex laboratory equipment to run, making it an attractive testing method for HPV in rural or low-resource settings. Furthermore, results from this test can be obtained in a short time (approximately 2 hours), allowing for the potential to treat HPV positive women in the same visit, also known as "screen and treat." This assay was validated in a cross-sectional study from rural China that showed a sensitivity of 90 % and specificity of 84 % for the detection of CIN2+ [19].
A subset of HPV assays also provide genotyping information and can be divided into two subgroups: 1) concurrent genotyping assays, i.e., genotyping data is obtained at the same time as the qualitative result; and 2) reflex genotyping assays, which provide genotyping data only if a sample is positive for the qualitative test. The two most common tests in this category are the Cervista HPV 16/18 Test (Hologic), which is a reflex genotyping assay, and the COBAS 4800 HPV Test (Roche), which provides concurrent HPV16/18 genotyping information.
Cervista was approved by the FDA in 2009 for 1) the triage of women with ASC-US cytology and 2) determining the presence of carcinogenic HPV types in conjunction with cytology in women older than age 30 years. In a large multicenter, prospective evaluation of women with ASC-US cytology, the sensitivity and specificity of Cervista for the detection of CIN2+ were 93 % and 44 %, respectively [20]. Although the sensitivity increased to 100 % for the detection of CIN3+, the specificity remained similar at 43 %. Furthermore data from a large cross-sectional study in China showed that, compared with HC2, Cervista had similar sensitivity but increased specificity for the detection of CIN3+ (relative specificity = 1.03 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.04]) [13•, 21].
The COBAS 4800 HPV Test was approved by the FDA in 2011 for the following uses: 1) to triage women older than age 21 years with ASC-US cytology; 2) determine the presence of HPV16 and 18 in women older than age 21 years with ASC-US cytology; 3) in conjunction with cytology for primary screening in women older than age 30 years; and 4) determining the presence of HPV16 and 18 in women older than age 30 years. The clinical validation of the COBAS was done through the ATHENA (Addressing THE Need for Advanced HPV Diagnostics) trial and a large European study, both of which focused on the triage of women with ASC-US cytology [22•, 23, 24, 25]. These studies showed that, compared with cytology, COBAS was more sensitive (relative sensitivity = 1.77 [1.55-1.89]) and just as specific (relative specificity = 0.97 [0.97-0.97]) for the detection of CIN2+ [13•]. Furthermore, the performance of COBAS is similar to that of HC2 (relative sensitivity and specificity of 0.98 and 1.00, respectively) [13•].
HPV RNA Assays
Of the proteins expressed during the life cycle of an HPV infection, the E6 and E7 proteins are the most critical for the development of cancer; overexpression of these proteins leads to the inactivation of p53 and retinoblastoma, resulting in malignant transformation [26]. Because expression of these proteins is required for carcinogenesis, they make for potentially useful biomarkers of infections that are likely to be associated with cervical cancer or precancer. Furthermore, because E6 and E7 are expressed at higher levels in transforming infections compared with transient infections that will clear spontaneously, determining E6/E7 expression may provide a way to identify clinically relevant HPV infections. Two tests are available to detect mRNA levels of E6/E7: the APTIMA (GenProbe) and the PreTect HPV-proofer (Norchip).
The APTIMA HPV Assay detects E6/E7 mRNA from 14 HPV genotypes (13 carcinogenic and HPV66) but does not distinguish between the types. In 2011 the FDA approved the APTIMA for: 1) the triage of women older than age 21 years with ASC-US cytology; and 2) screening of women 30 years of age and older in conjunction with cytology. Several studies have compared the APTIMA to HC2 and cytology-based tests for both primary cervical cancer screening as well as triage of ASC-US or LSIL [27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34]. Results from these studies have been summarized in a number of meta-analyses [13•, 35, 36], each of which suggest that APTIMA has an increased sensitivity, but similar specificity to that of cytology for the detection of CIN2+. Compared with HC2, APTIMA has similar sensitivity but increased specificity for both the triage of ASC-US (relative sensitivity = 1.19 [1.08-1.31]) or LSIL (relative sensitivity = 1.37 [0.22-1.54]) as well as in primary screening for CIN2+ or CIN3+ (relative specificity = 1.07 [1.05-1.08]) [13•].
The PreTect HPV-proofer assay only detects E6/E7 mRNA from five carcinogenic HPV types (HPV16, 18, 31, 33, and 45) and has not been approved by the FDA for use in cervical cancer screening. However, many studies have evaluated the assay for triage of women with ASC-US or LSIL [31, 37, 38, 39, 40]. A recent meta-analysis showed that compared with HC2, the PreTect HPV-proofer assay has a significantly lower sensitivity for the detection of CIN2+ in the triage of women with ASC-US or LSIL (relative sensitivity = 0.79; 95 % CI 0.71-0.88) and 0.75 (95 % CI 0.67-0.84), respectively [13•]. This lower sensitivity has been, in part, attributed to the fact that the assay only detects a small subset of carcinogenic HPV types [41, 42]. In contrast, the PreTect HPV-proofer assay has a much higher specificity compared to HC2 for the triage of ASC-US (relative specificity = 1.76 [1.55-1.99]) and LSIL (relative specificity = 2.79 [2.1-3.71]) [13•].
HPV Protein Assays
In addition to tests for E6/E7 mRNA, assays are available to detect protein levels in cervical specimens. A pilot study for a lateral flow assay to detect E6 expression (OncoE6, Arbor Vita Corporation) showed that expression of E6 from HPV16, 18, and/or 45 may be more specific for the detection of CIN3+ compared with HPV-DNA tests [43]. Clinical validation of this assay is ongoing in a population-based study in Shanxi, China, and preliminary results suggest that the OncoE6 has better specificity than HC2 (98.9 % vs. 86.8 %, respectively) but lower sensitivity (67.3 % vs. 98 %, respectively) for the detection of CIN3+ [44]. Given the increased specificity, the assay may be a useful tool in the triage of HPV-positive women. In addition, due to the limited laboratory equipment needed for the assay, it may have applications in low-resource settings.
Loss of the expression of L1, a capsid protein also has been suggested as a marker of progressive lesions [45, 46], and although a test is commercially available to detect the presence of L1 from a number of HPV types (Cytoactiv, Cytoimmun Diagnostics), the clinical utility of this test remains to be determined.
Evidence for HPV Testing
Triage of Abnormal Cytology
The first use of HPV testing was in the triage of ASC-US cytology to determine which women should be referred to colposcopy and in 1999, the FDA approved HC2 for this application. A recent meta-analysis of the accuracy of HC2 reported an overall sensitivity of 90 % and specificity of 58 % for the detection of CIN2+ among women with ASC-US [13•]. The overall sensitivity and specificity for CIN3+ was 94 % and 52 %, respectively, in the same population of women. In the triage of women with LSIL, HC2 had similarly high sensitivity for CIN2+ or CIN3+ (95 % and 96 %, respectively) but lower specificity (28 % and 24 %, respectively). Compared with HC2, other HPV-based tests have similar sensitivity and, with the exception of a few tests, similar specificity for the detection of CIN2+ among women with ASC-US or LSIL [13•]. Significantly increased specificity, compared with HC2, was seen for APTIMA, Cervista and Papillocheck in the triage of ASC-US and APTIMA and PreTect HPV-Proofer for the triage of women with LSIL [13•].
Primary Screening
As previously discussed, results from a large number of cross-sectional studies have shown a high sensitivity of HPV-based tests for the detection of cervical cancer and precancer. This has led to a number of randomized, controlled trials worldwide comparing HPV DNA testing (predominately HC2) with cytology for the detection, and prevention, of cervical cancer and precancer [47, 48, 49, 50, 51••, 52••, 53, 54, 55••]. In the first round of screening, which would predominately detect prevalent disease, these studies consistently show that HPV testing has better sensitivity for both CIN2+ and CIN3+ [13•]. Of the published trials, four have reported data from the second round of screening [47, 50, 51••, 52••]. Overall, these results show a decrease in the detection of CIN3+ (Detection Rate Ratio (DRR) = 0.43 [0.33-0.56]) and cancer (DRR = 0.13 [0.04-0.44]) in the HPV screening arm compared with the cytology arm [13•].
The screening trial conducted in India did not involve multiple visits but did follow participants passively through their cancer registry [55••]. In the HPV screening arm, which was a "screen and treat" modality, a decrease in the incidence of advanced stage (stage II+) cervical cancer (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.47 [0.35-0.63]) was observed that was not seen in either the visual inspection or cytology arm. Furthermore, HPV DNA screening led to a decrease in mortality from cervical cancer (HR = 0.52 [0.33-0.83]). This suggests that even a once-in-a-lifetime screen with HPV can help to reduce the burden of cervical cancer in areas where repeat visits are more difficult to sustain.
The vast majority of studies evaluating HPV tests as a primary screening tool for cervical cancer have used HC2 or EIA, and thus data on other HPV-based tests for uses outside of triage are limited. In addition, these studies have focused on physician-collected samples. Results from the Netherlands suggest that HPV test results (using GP5+/6+ EIA) from self-collected samples are similar to those from physician-collected samples, suggesting self-collected samples may provide an alternative specimen for HPV testing [56]. This could have important implications for screening in rural or low-resource settings.
Triage of HPV-Positive Women Using Genotyping
Given the limited specificity of HPV assays for use in large population-based screening programs, a secondary triage test is needed to identify clinically relevant HPV infections. The main evidence for using HPV genotyping as a triage for HPV-positive women comes from the ATHENA trial where different triage options for HPV positive were compared, including genotyping and cytology [22•]. Although limited at this time, these data suggest that genotyping may offer better risk stratification for HPV-positive women than cytology.
Currently, most of the genotyping assays that are available provide information only for HPV16 and 18. The benefit of genotyping for other HR-HPV types is still somewhat unclear. Evidence to date from U.S. studies suggests that it is not likely to be clinically useful [25, 57, 58]; however, reports from a Danish cohort study suggest that HPV31 and 33 may have similar absolute risks for progressing to cervical cancer as those for HPV18 [59, 60, 61].
Follow-Up After Treatment
Typical treatment for cervical precancer is loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) of the transformation zone, often leading to the causal HPV type being undetectable in cervical specimens after treatment. Although cytology-based methods have historically been used to determine if a woman has residual or recurrent disease, HPV testing may provide a better way to monitor risk of recurrence following treatment. Women who are HPV-positive after LEEP are at increased risk of recurrent disease, whereas a negative HPV test is highly predictive of curative treatment [62, 63]. A recent meta-analysis of the test performance of HPV-based tests following treatment for cervical precancer showed that, compared with cytology, HPV DNA tests have a significantly higher sensitivity for the detection of recurrent CIN2+ (72 % vs. 93 %, respectively) without a considerable difference in specificity (84 % vs. 81 %, respectively) [13•]. Furthermore, combining cytology and HPV testing did not lead to improved sensitivity but decreased the specificity. Therefore, HPV testing may be a viable option to replace cytology-based methods for this clinical application.

The Future of HPV Testing in Cervical Cancer Prevention
Co-Testing vs. HPV Alone
Evidence from large trials and observational studies suggest that there is limited clinical benefit of adding cytology to HPV testing in primary cervical cancer screening. Pooled analyses of data from the randomized, controlled trials that included a co-testing arm (HPV testing and cytology) showed that the addition of cytology did not significantly increase the sensitivity for detecting either CIN2+ or CIN3+ over that of HPV testing alone [13•]. Consequently, a negative HPV test predicts a very low risk of developing into cervical precancer over the next years, similar to the risk in women with a negative co-test [66, 67••]. Accordingly and in contrast to the United States, the Netherlands have implemented HPV testing as a primary test, using cytology as a triage test for HPV-positive women [68].
Triage of HPV-Positive Women
Currently, two options have been recommended for the triage of HPV-positive women: cytology and HPV genotyping. Other markers that have been studied and show promise for potential triage tests include p16 cytology [69] and DNA methylation (viral [70•, 71, 72, 73] and host [74, 75]). Many other markers have been proposed as specific markers for cervical precancer, but clinical data are very limited [76]. Future studies are needed to compare HPV genotyping, cytology, and other triage options to evaluate which tests are clinically useful.
HPV Testing in Vaccinated Populations
In 2006 and 2009, the FDA approved the use of two vaccines that protect against infection by four (Gardasil, Merk & Co., Inc.) or two (Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline) HPV types. The bivalent vaccine protects against infection by HPV16 and HPV18, whereas the quadrivalent vaccine also includes HPV6 and HPV11, which cause 90 % of genital warts. Vaccination has been proven to be effective against infection by the types included in the vaccine [77]. There is some evidence of cross-protection against types not included in the vaccine; however, the extent of this protection is currently unclear and may differ between the vaccine types [78]. This is particularly important, because although HPV16 and HPV18 account for a large fraction (70 %) of all cervical cancer cases, there remain many cancers caused by other types. Current recommendations for cervical cancer screening are not different for vaccinated and unvaccinated women; however, this could change in the future. Accumulating data suggest that HPV16-related cervical precancer and cancer occurs at younger ages than non-HPV16–related disease [79, 80, 81]. As vaccination becomes more common and HPV16 prevalence decreases in the population, it may become possible to begin cervical cancer screening at an older age than is currently recommended. Continued research is needed to evaluate the risks and benefits of changing the screening age of women once they are vaccinated.
HPV-based tests will be important to evaluate the efficacy of vaccination programs. Histology and cytology-based outcomes are subject to interobserver variability and can take decades to develop if CIN3 or cancer are considered as outcomes. Using HPV tests to monitor the prevalence of vaccine-related types offers a surrogate measure of the efficacy of a vaccine program. Furthermore, a decrease in the prevalence of HPV16 and 18 should be noticeable much earlier than disease endpoints. Registries, such as the New Mexico Pap Registry, which was developed as an effort to monitor the impact of HPV vaccine uptake and changes in cervical cancer screening behaviors over time, will be vitally important for monitoring vaccine efficacy and potential type-replacement as vaccination coverage increases [82].
HPV-based tests offer a more sensitive way to identify women with high-grade cervical disease compared with cytology-based methods. This, coupled with the assurance that a negative test offers, make HPV tests an attractive method for cervical cancer screening. The use of HPV assays as a primary screening method requires the use of a triage test to identify women with clinically relevant infections. In the future, HPV testing will continue to be important for surveillance and monitoring vaccine efficacy.

Combine and then gradually stir into milk the following ingredients.
1 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. Sifted Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
Stirring constantly, (wire whisk works best) cook over direct heat for 5
minutes. Vigorously stir about 3 Tbsp. of hot mixture into 3 egg yolks,
slightly beaten. Immediately stir this into hot mixture. Bring heat to
medium/low, stirring constantly, cook for 5 minutes longer or until mixture
begins to coat your spoon. Remove from heat and cool.
Stir in: 1-12-oz. bottle of Pappy's Sassafras Tea Concentrate plus enough 2%
milk to equal 2 cups. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
|Sassafras Salt Water Taffy
Butter a 13x9x2-in. pan. You will also need a candy thermometer.
In a heavy 4 qt. Saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup & tea.
Over low heat, stir ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat, bringing mixture to a boil. Place candy thermometer in pan. Continue boiling until mixture reaches 244 F. Remove from heat and blend in butter and salt. Pour mixture into buttered dish and place on a cooling rack for approx.15 min. Mixture will begin to set around the edges of dish. **DO NOT allow taffy to cool down too much before putting in the mixing bowl. You will not be able to "pull" it
2 Methods to Choose – To "pull" taffy:
1st: Use a heavy-duty mixer (like Kitchen Aid). Pour mixture into the stainless steel bowl. Attach the flat beater and lock the bowl into place. Beginning with a slow speed, working up to medium high speed, beat until small hair-like threads pull from the beater approx. 10-15 min. Using buttered fingers, pull small amounts of taffy into 6-8 in. ropes and place on wax paper. Store in airtight container in refrigerator to allow for cracking into bite size pieces. Bring taffy to room temp. before eating.
2nd: Butter fingers and begin pulling small amounts of taffy. Continue pulling until candy is firm and cool and no longer sticky to the touch. Place on wax paper in 6-8 in. ropes.
2 cups white granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups white corn syrup
1 cup Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
1 Tbsp. Butter or Margarine
1 ½ tsp. Sea Salt (do not use table salt; it makes the candy gritty
|Sassafras Apple Syrup
In a large saucepan, heat the tea and apple juice, and stir in the sugar. Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Stir in the pectin, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. With a large spoon, skim the foam, lifting off the bubbles. Pour into a serving dish. Cool.
1/2 cup Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
1/2 cup apple juice
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 ounces Certo Fruit Pectin
HEALTHY CHOICE ALTERNATIVE: If you pour this syrup on pancakes in place of butter or peanut butter, you save both fat grams and calories.
Served in a clear glass pitcher, the syrup is a beautiful amber color. Use as you would any syrup over biscuits, pancakes, or waffles.
|Pappy's Sassy Sauce
Put into saucepan sugar, cornstarch and tea. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter. Allow butter to melt. Stir thoroughly and allow to cool. Refrigerate. Excellent on cakes and ice cream.
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 bottle Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
3 tablespoons butter
|Root Beer Cake
Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 13×9 inch pan. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, beat well. At low speed, add dry ingredients alternately with 1 cup root beer, blending well after each addition. Pour batter into greased and floured pan. Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Frosting: In small bowl prepare 1 envelope whipped topping mix as directed on package using ½ cup chilled Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate for liquid. Frost cooled cake. Store in refrigerator. 12 servings.
2 cups Pillsbury Best All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup margarine or butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
|Sassafras Apple Butter
In a large saucepan, boil the dried apples, tea, and water for 25 minutes (or pressure cook for 8 minutes). In a food processor, process the apples and about a third of the liquid until the apples are broken up. (You want some pieces of apple to be coarse like grains of rice). Stir in the remaining liquid and the sugar, cool, and serve.
2 cups dried apples
1 cup Pappy's Sassafras Tea Concentrate
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
HEALTHY CHOICE ALTERNATIVE: This apple butter is a healthy sweetener.
Serve this as a garnish for Potato Cakes, Bean Cakes, Country-Fried Steak, or Pork Barbecue. Use as a dip for graham crackers or potato chips. Spread the butter on bread or biscuits over cream cheese or peanut butter.
|Sassafras Jelly
Sterilize jars and lids in hot water bath at least 10 minutes. Keep them hot to work with when jelly is finished cooking. This recipe will make 6 cups (8 oz. jars). Pre-measure everything. Level your sugar cup with a spatula or straight edge tool. Do not use more or less of anything. Use Ball Fruit Jell pectin. Use an eight quart pot. Jelly will foam up quite a bit and you will need the extra room in your pot to control the foaming. Also, an optional teaspoon of butter or margarine will help to control the foaming.
Place water in pot with Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate. Add pectin. Turn on high heat and stir constantly. Bring to a rolling boil. Add sugar all at once. Stir constantly. Bring to a rolling boil for one full minute. Remove from heat. Skim. Pour or ladle into hot jars. Skim one last time if needed. Wipe jar mouths with a damp clean towel or rag. Dry lids quickly and place on jars. Screw lids on finger tight. Place in hot water bath for five minutes (or for the time recommended by the USDA according to your altitude). Place on a board or towel to cool. You will not need to invert jars with this recipe and these ingredients. Let jelly set and cool for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
This is truly a wonderful addition for breakfast, or a midnight snack, on toast with your favorite beverage.
3/4 cup Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
3 ¼ cup water (distilled is best)
5 cups sugar
1 ¾ oz. Ball Fruit Jell pectin
|Sassafras Pie
In saucepan mix together water, tea, sugar, and corn starch just to boiling. Pour into graham cracker pie crust. Cool.
Topping: Mix instant vanilla pudding according to box and add cool whip. Put on cooled pie and enjoy.
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 bottle Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
½ cup corn starch
1 Graham Cracker pie crust
1 small instant vanilla pudding
1 small cool whip
|Pappy Corn
Mix sugar, tea and corn syrup together. Stir until fully mixed. Then cook on the stovetop until it reaches a temperature of 295 F (hard crack stage on a candy thermometer). Use wooden or metal spoon and a glass or metal bowl for mixing. Pour mixture over popped corn and stir gently. This mixture is very hot, so be careful. When cool can be broke into pieces and stored in an airtight container. Another variation is to form popcorn balls. When cool enough to handle, with greased hands scoop up portions and shaped into balls. Note: when making Pappy Corn or popcorn balls the cooking temperature may vary from 245F (soft crack) to 295F (hard crack) for preferred candied texture.
1/3 cup unpopped popcorn or 8 cups popped corn
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
3 tablespoons corn syrup
|Sassafras Hard Rock Candy
Lightly grease an 11x7x2-inch baking tin or a large cookie sheet. Pour and stir the sugar, tea, and syrup into a very large microwave-safe container. Stir until fully mixed. Microwave the mixture on high for 7 minutes (or cook on the stovetop until it reaches 295 F). It should begin to get darker in color. Cooking takes 7 minutes in a 1.2 cubic foot, 900-watt microwave oven. Spread the candy onto the prepared pan. The mixture is hot, so be careful. Cool on a rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and break into irregular 1- to 2-inch pieces. Store in an airtight container.
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Pappy's Sassafras Instant Tea Concentrate
3 tablespoons corn syrup
|Sassafras Custard Pudding
Select five 4-ounce custard cups. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Prepare a water bath large enough to hold the custard cups, boil 2 quarts of water, and cover the bottom of the pan with a dishcloth.
In a medium bowl combine the milk, eggs, sugar, and tea until smooth and fully blended. Divide the mixture among the custard cups. Place the cups on the cloth and pour the hot water in the pan, bringing the water two-thirds up the side of the custard cups. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Do not allow the water bath to boil during baking. Remove from the oven just before the custard is set in the center. The custard will continue to cook as it cools. Refrigerate, and serve cold.
2 cups milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 (3 oz.) Pappy's Sassafras Tea.
HEALTHY CHOICE ALTERNATIVE: Use 2% or skim milk and 4 egg whites in place of the 3 eggs. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. This fat-free custard has the same smoothness, but is softer and more jiggly.
This collection of recipes was taken from the Mountain Country Cooking cookbook, by Mark F. Sohn as well as from the kitchens of Kathy Haselman, Barb Kaufman and Nick Parker.

Breast Implant Disappears
December 16, 2011 by staff
Breast Implant Disappears, A cancer survivor has had to have further surgery after her body 'swallowed' her breast implant during a Pilates exercise. The 59-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland, had been performing the 'Valsalva' manoeuvre when she felt the implant disappear into her body.
She was taken to the Johns Hopkins hospital in the city where surgeons found the implant and reinstated it.
Amazingly the woman said she felt no pain and had no trouble breathing, despite the implant nestling in the space between her lungs.
The bizarre incident has now been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The woman, who has not been named, had undergone a double mastectomy but decided to have breast implants.
Her ribs had also been weakened by a heart operation.
She had been performing the breathing technique, in which a person takes a deep breath but holds it in while attempting to exhale forcibly, building up enough pressure to force her right implant through the thin tissue between her ribs.
Cosmetic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn, who did not treat the woman, told MSNBC the case was a 'freak occurrence'.
'What likely happened in this instance is that the breast implant was placed under the chest muscle and on top of the ribs, an extremely common practice in breast reconstruction,' Dr Youn said.
'When the patient Valsalva'd, the pectoralis (chest) muscle likely contracted and pushed the implant through the space between her ribs.
'The weakened scar tissue was easily torn, and the strength of the pectoralis muscle pushed the implant deep into her chest.'

text: There is talk of an all-new app for 2014, but in the meantime, BlackBerry has thrown in one of the most requested features for its iOS and Android BBM apps.That feature is Find Friends, which detects which contracts in your smartphone are already using BBM, something that isn't likely to be flagged up in your existing address book. When you've got that list, choose a contact to send a PIN invite to. There is also the option to send an invite to people who haven't got BBM as well, although they will obviously have to get the app first. That app is free though, so it's not exactly asking a lot of your friends and acquaintances.BBM commented that 'the Find Friends feature is something that BBM users have been asking for and we're now bringing it to them,' but didn't mention the all-new app, which was flagged up before Christmas. However, that 2.0 update is said to be coming 'soon' and with it, the likes of BBM channels, free voice calls to BBM contacts, faster sharing of media and lots ore emoticons. Well, you can never have enough.It has been in beta testing for a few months now, so a launch is likely to be around the corner. In the meantime, update now for the Find Friends feature.Source: Pocket Lint

Auto Gas Gauge Problems Probed
Reaction of silver, elemental sulfur could be the culprit.
NEW ORLEANS -- Early last month, Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC encountered a situation in Louisville, Ky., in which cars inexplicably ran out of gas, that was eerily similar to a problem that Shell Oil Co. announced in the New Orleans area last week, reported the New Orleans-based Times Picayune.
Although Marathon Ashland is still investigating the matter, a spokeswoman said the company believes it may have isolated the culprit: elevated levels of what chemists call elemental sulfur. Similar problems have been reported in Toronto and in Pennsylvania.
The problem was not simply the presence of sulfur, said Linda Casey, the Marathon Ashland spokesperson. Indeed, Casey said the levels of sulfur in the gasoline were within the bounds of what's allowed by federal regulations and industry standards. The problem, Casey said, appears to have been the form of the sulfur in the gasoline.
The hypothesis here is that a particular form of sulfur found in the gasoline, which spokesmen for two companies referred to as "elemental sulfur," may have reacted with silver used in the gasoline gauges of some cars.
On Wednesday, Attorney General Charles C. Foti Jr. said that he has opened an inquiry into the fuel problem in New Orleans. "I want to make sure consumers get the help they need, or at least know where they can find answers to their questions," Foti said.
Notwithstanding the focus on elemental sulfur, the ultimate source of the problems remains a mystery. Marathon Ashland's Casey said her company had been working with the U.S. Big Three automakers to try to understand the problem, which she said doesn't seem to affect some imports. And the company, she said, has found a process called a "silver strip test" that detects elemental sulfur. The company has also developed a fuel additive to fix the problems in affected gasoline.
But at the end of the day, Casey said, the roots of the problems are simply unknown. "We're not ready to put a label on anything as the cause," she said. "There are just too many unknowns now. The investigation is going to take some time."

As Carl Edwards wins Nationwide race, Keselowski plays nice
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – "Bad Brad" won't be so nice in about a month.
Brad Keselowski said as much Saturday after finishing second to Carl Edwards in the Nationwide Series Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International.
The Penske Racing driver resisted the urge to make contact with Edwards in a final shootout for the win between Sprint Cup stars, and Edwards' No. 60 Ford held off Keselowski's No. 22 Dodge by 1.13 seconds.
MORE: Danica's dismal day at Watkins Glen
RESULTS: Zippo 200 at the Glen
Neither is a Nationwide regular; in fact, Edwards was making his season debut in NASCAR's second-level series.
Keselowski said his restraint came with knowing the Chase for the Sprint Cup title run, which begins Sept. 16, was ahead.
"I didn't pull any aggressive moves out of the arsenal," Keselowski said. "That's intentional, obviously. I don't need to start any trouble over here in this series when I've got the Chase coming around.
"Just banking up nice-guy points. So when the Chase comes, I can use them up. And I plan on doing that. Just banking 'em up."
In a victory lane interview that Keselowski heard as it was piped into the media center, Edwards praised the runner-up for racing him clean.
The vanilla finish was noticed by another Cup star, Jeff Gordon, who tweeted to Keselowski: "U might have been a little too nice there at the end."
Keselowski later tweeted: "Feel bad for my guys on 22 team, but sometimes you gotta play nice … I want the cup championship."
Keselowski's generosity came on Turn 1 after a restart with two laps to go as the pair dueled for the win. The turn comes after a downhill straightaway, where cars carry lots of speed.
"Brad gave me enough room on the exit to run beside him and not run me off the racetrack, which was nice," Edwards said. "I was able to just hang on the outside of him and get around him.
"That was a lot of fun."
Penske's Sam Hornish Jr. finished third, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ron Fellows, who was driving the No. 5 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports.
Elliott Sadler finished 12th to maintain his series lead over Stenhouse (by 13 points), Hornish (24) and Austin Dillon (29).
JRM's Danica Patrick finished 43rd after first-lap contact with Ryan Truex ended her day.

Ralph's Launches Loyalty Card Program at Cala Foods and Bell Markets
SAN FRANCISCO - Ralphs Grocery Company has announced the launch of a shopper rewards card program for customers at its Cala Foods and Bell Markets stores in the San Francisco Bay Area.
SAN FRANCISCO - Ralphs Grocery Company has announced the launch of a shopper rewards card program for customers at its Cala Foods and Bell Markets stores in the San Francisco Bay Area. The program officially begins June 26.
Ralphs, a division of The Kroger Co., operates seven Cala Foods stores and 13 Bell Markets in The Bay Area.
The new Cala/Bell Club Card is designed to reward loyal customers with special discounts on thousands of items throughout the store. The program was modeled after the popular Ralphs Club Card program, which was introduced in Ralphs supermarkets throughout California in 1997.
"We are committed to providing our customers with the savings, services and products they desire. Our new Cala/Bell Club Card does this and more," said Chris O'Leary, group vice president of sales and marketing for Cala/Bell Markets. "Our goal is to deliver a Cala/Bell Club Card program that is unique to other supermarket loyalty programs and delivers Cala/Bell customers with added values every time they shop with us. We're sure our customers will be pleased with the unique points of difference the Cala/Bell Club Card offers."
Cala/Bell Club cardholders will enjoy discounts on entertainment, travel, and other services, including airfare, cruises, car rentals and hotel rooms. The company is evaluating additional discount partners and expects to continually add more to the program.
The company has mailed cards to thousands of customers in The Bay Area. It is also providing applications at all Cala Foods and Bell Markets stores, as well as on its Web site, www.calabell.com.
