THREE 'vulnerable' missing people were found safe and well this weekend, Lancashire poice said.
A police helicopter was called out to help with the search for two missing women on Friday night.
Duty Inspector Conrad Tapp said Lancashire police received a call at around 10.30pm to report the pair missing from the Burnley Lane area of Accrington.
The National Police Air Service mobilised a helicopter from its base in Warton, near Preston, and discovered the women 25 minutes later in woodland off Manchester Road, Hapton.
DI Tapp said that the two women, aged 18 and 23, had a history of mental illness and self-harm.
He said: "The helicopter was up as we were concerned for the safety of the two females reported missing from home.
"Fortunately we found both of them safe and well."
Earlier on Friday, an elderly man who went missing from his Blackburn home was found 'safe and well' at Royal Blackburn Hospital
Fears were growing for 80-year-old Calogero Carlo Marchese, who suffers from Alzhiemer's, after he went almost 24 hours without his medication.
He had been missing since around 8.15pm on Thursday, but was discovered in the hospital on Friday afternoon after checking in under a false name.
DI Andy Winter, of Lancashire police, said that Mr Marchese, of Lincoln Road, had been spotted by a friend.

When I founded The Art Newspaper in 1990, I noticed that most writing about art forces the subject into a ghetto; it takes it out of the common currencies of life, language and value judgements.
On the one hand, there are the professional art historians, all theorising away in their distinct areas, "Renaissance" people not talking to "the Contemporaries", for example, let alone to the non-professional. Art history, like most disciplines, has fragmented as it has become more specialised.
On the other hand, there are the critics. A very few of these are good; they are sure of what they like and can explain why in clear English; they bring to art a broad culture and intellectual maturity. But much art criticism is not worthy of its name, since it is merely celebratory, explains little if anything and is written in the most awful, pretentious English.
The Art Newspaper (and the other newspapers in the network) aims to remedy these obstacles to approaching the world of art. We recognise that the art world is part of ordinary life. For example, exhibitions do not happen just because someone thinks it would be nice to put a certain group of art together. In reality, there is a complicated combination of factors, which includes high finance, international diplomacy and the aspirations of museum directors.
We report on old art, new art, decorative art, the commercial and the non-commercial world—but we are very careful not to mix the last two up, as that lead to puffery, another of the besetting sins of art publications. We want to know and show where the power lies in the art world.
We regularly publish breaking news (for example, the story about mega-collector Sheikh Saud al Thani of Qatar's hugely inflated invoices and his relations with dealers and auction houses) that gets taken up by the daily papers.
One of our journalists has gone undercover to meet tomb-robbers in Italy and find out the economics of the trade in illicit antiquities.
We sent a journalist into Nablus to find out the truth about damage caused by Israeli troops to the ancient buildings.
Since the outset, we have campaigned in The Art Newspaper whenever we have seen the world's heritage at risk.
As soon as it was know that the National Museum in Baghdad had been looted in the second Iraqi war, we tracked down its very rare catalogues and put all its images on our web site, with links to Unesco and the British Museum. During the first war against Saddam Hussein, it was The Art Newspaper that disclosed how many of Iraq's major archaeological sites were extremely close to bombing targets and published maps (Ur, the world's oldest city, was actually inside an Iraqi airforce base).
We were the first to publish the damage to monuments at the outset of the Balkan troubles in the 1990s.
We have explained the threat posed by climate change to Venice, and the risk of another major flood like the one in 1966 that put this lovely and fragile city under two metres of water. We believe that the Italian government must move fast to build the mobile barriers at the openings into the Adriatic which have existed in prototype now since 1992. We have lobbied Italian politicians over this.
We have again and again drawn attention to the hypocrisies both of the art trade and of the archaeologically rich nations so far as the trade in antiquities is concerned, and of the urgent need for greater dialogue and realism. We have organised round-table discussions and a public debate between major players in this field.
Keen exhibition viewers, museum professionals, collectors, artists, lawyers specialising in cultural property issues, arts administrators, policemen, dealers and auctioneers....You do not have to be learned to read The Art Newspaper; you just have to be in the game a little.

HOUSTON - Hundreds of veterans attended a Hiring Our Heroes job fair on Wednesday to try to find employment.
Dozens of companies were on hand to help veterans re-enter the workforce. The job fair was held at the Westin Galleria and Westin Oaks Houston.
"It's important because it's a way of giving back to this community that has given so much to our country," said Alexa McVey of the SAP Veterans to Work Program. "Events like these are a great opportunity for the veterans to really interact with the employers and have that dialogue about where that veteran wants to take their career post-military."
The unemployment rate for veterans is 12.1 percent.
Spouses of military members and veterans were also welcome to attend the job fair.
For more information, head to the Hiring Our Heroes website. Hiring Our Heroes was launched in March 2011 as a nationwide initiative to help veterans and military spouses find employment. Officials said 14,000 veterans have found jobs through the fairs.

Delays were expected during its journey along the M4 from Junction 18-15, before travelling North on the A419 towards Cirencester, then onto the A429 to arrive at Kemble.
A future date for the load to be transported is due to be set.

Topic: Question on abdominal pain
Hi all, was wondering if someone could give me some input?
My husband had his second round of Irintecan on August 30th. He goes every other week. He is still having abdominal pain. We were both thinking it was from the chemo but its been over a week since his last treatment but the abdominal pain seems to be getting worse. Two nights ago he said the pain was so bad he could of screamed but then lessened up. Now yesterday he came and told me he was hurting real bad. He had Tylenol 3 so i have him one of those and he said it made him feel better. Then in the middle of last night he woke up and had to take another one. I am starting to wonder if the pain is still from the chemo or if the cancer is on the move some more?
He refuses to go see a doctor. Says he will just wait until the 13th for his next appointment.
Any info I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

- News From the Field
- Guns N' Roses Vegas ads reuse controversial image for upcoming gigs
Guns N' Roses Vegas ads reuse controversial image for upcoming gigs
By Randall Roberts
When a flier similar to the bus ad pictured above recently landed in our inbox, a red flag went off: The featured image is famous to many Guns N' Roses fans as the Robert Williams painting printed on the original cover of "Appetite for Destruction." The image, of a robot appearing to have just committed an act of sexual violence against a woman, prompted Geffen Records to recall the album in 1987 and replace it with a less rape-oriented cover.
The image has been resurrected, it turns out, by the Hard Rock Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas in service of the ad campaign promoting its Guns N' Roses residency, and at least one of the Clark County commissioners is none too happy about it. The Las Vegas Sun spoke to Commissioner Mary Beth Scow, who oversaw a recent event temporarily renaming Paradise Road as Paradise City Road.
"I hadn't seen the advertising before the media event," she told the Sun. "It's clearly inappropriate. Maybe it's the risk of doing business with a rock band, but I guess we'll have some remorse over this decision. It's a lesson learned."
The Sun also spoke to Lisa Lynn Chapman, a representative for a Las Vegas woman's shelter called Safe Nest, who, according to the paper, "said the county should rescind the street name change and that the Joint and the rock band should apologize and stop using the image because it promotes acceptance of violence against women."
She said: "It's very frustrating to see approval — almost a celebration — of rape and violence against women. Our community has enough issues with domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and so many other violent issues that to have this being paraded around town on taxicabs and in advertising is very offensive."
A spokeswoman for Guns N' Roses said that the band had indeed seen and signed off on the artwork, which appears on wrapped buses and placards around Vegas.

August 12th. A day to celebrate how truly magnificent these majestic beings are: variations of grey, brown, and red, wrinkly skin thick and thin but so sensitive they can feel a butterfly land on them, strong in mind and body, emotional and full of facial expressions, unique individuals, funny, explorative, intelligent to say the least, protective of family, stubborn . . . the list goes on. A day to thank them for taking care of this earth and playing a key role in their ecosystem for the survival of other species. A day to advocate on behalf of them and protect them from a gruesome slaughter due to human greed. A day to mourn for those that have succumb to the poachers poison arrow or AK-47, and to not forget the rangers that have given their lives to watch over them. A day to recognize them for what and who they are supposed to be, not what the entertainment industry or circuses force them to be. A day to be grateful for them, respect them, and admire them from afar.
There has been so much going on with elephants there is barely time to keep up with it all. Here are some of the ups and downs on the conservation end of what is currently going on.
- DEFEAT. May 1st, 2014: Hawaii Ivory Bill failed to meet its final legislative approval deadline, despite unanimously passing 4 House and Senate committees, both chambers and with strong support of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources and Governor Abercrombie. There are plans to reintroduce the bill in the coming year.
- SAD NEWS. May 16th, 2014: Mountain Bull, a "famous" bull known for his rambunctious behavior was found dead with his tusks cut off in Mt. Kenya National Park.
- GOOD NEWS. May 24th, 2014: Oakland Zoo had its most successful Celebrating Elephants yet, and raised over 34,000 dollars for Amboseli Trust for Elephants. Check out www.elephanttrust.org for more info on the 40 year African Elephant research study in Kenya, one we've been supporting for 18 years.
- SAD NEWS. May 30th, 2014: Satao, one of Kenya's largest bull elephants and with tusks so long they reached the ground, was announced killed by poachers from poison arrows. Satao will be missed, read a beautiful article written by Mark Deeble right before his death, www.markdeeble.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/satao-a-legend-2/
- GOOD NEWS: Oakland Zoo will now be supporting Big Life Foundation through our Quarters for Conservation program. Every time you come to visit the zoo you should recieve a token to vote on one of the three conservation organizations of the year. Twenty-five cents of your admission fee goes towards these three organizations. Big Life Foundation was founded by photographer Nick Brandt and conservationist Richard Bonham in September 2010. Big Life has now expanded to employ 315 rangers, with 31 outposts and 15 vehicles protecting 2 million acres of wilderness in the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem of E. Africa. Big Life was the first organization in East Africa with co-ordinated cross-border anti-poaching operations.
- 96 Elephants campaign created by Wildlife Conservation Society has been HOT with ACTION:
- 159 Partners of the campaign to date (http://96elephants.org/coalition).
- VICTORY! June 4th2014: Thanks to WCS, 96 Elephants partners, and advocates, Antiques Roadshow on PBS will no longer feature carved ivory tusks on air, and has removed past appraisals from their series archive.
- VICTORY! June 18th 2014: The Ivory Bill in New York state was passed prohibiting transactions of ivory, mammoth, and rhino horn except for a few exceptions for certain musical instruments, educational and scientific purposes, 100 year old antiques that are less than 20% ivory with documentation of proof of provenance. The bill has also increased fines and jail time for violators.
- ACTION: Kid's can save elephants campaign. Oakland Zoo has been collecting kids' drawings of elephants and letters for Governor Jerry Brown to be mailed to his office on August 12th, World Elephant Day, asking for the ivory trade to be banned and strengthened in the state of California. States around the country will be doing the same. Our initial goal was to turn in 960 drawings, but we have surpassed 1600! Check out Oakland Zoo's super cool video featuring some of these pictures:
- ACTION: Petition to ban the ivory trade. Oakland Zoo has been tabling weekly to increase public awareness and asking our visitors to sign the petition. We have collected over 1400 signatures! If you haven't been to visit please go online to www.96elephants.org and sign the petition now.
- ACTION: Go grey for World Elephant Day. Come visit Oakland Zoo on Tuesday, August 12th, World Elephant Day, and wear grey for our giant friends. We will be tabling, and educating, as well as giving away grey awareness ribbons.
- VICTORY! June 16th, 2014: New Jersey State Assembly passes legislation to ban ivory trade in the state.
- VICTORY! July 24, 2014: New Zealand Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Select Committee announced their support of a petition, rallied by an Auckland teacher Virginia Woolf, calling the Government to push for the resumption of a full ban on the sale of ivory.
March for Elephants working fiercely: MFE is a San Francisco based grassroots organization dedicated to direct and peaceful action to promote global awareness about the elephant crisis, advocate for cessation of poaching, to shut down China's ivory carving factories, and to lobby state, federal, and international representatives to revise legislation which currently permits the trade and importation of ivory.
- Currently MFE is tabling all over the Bay Area at fairs, farmers markets, parades, and Oakland Zoo to raise awareness and promote the Global March for Elephants and Rhinos. Go online to www.marchforelephants.org for more info, join as a member, and sign the petition to help stop the illegal ivory trade in California.
- ACTION: Global March for Elephants and Rhinos, also known as GMFER, will take place on Saturday October 4th, in over 113 cities world-wide. Oakland Zoo will be marching in San Francisco, along with many other dedicated organizations and activists. For more information on the GMFER and to purchase your gear visit, www.march4elephantsandrhinos.org.
This about sums up what Oakland Zoo has been working on and supporting to fight for the survival of elephants in Africa. Remember that 96 elephants a day are being killed for their ivory, that's about one every fifteen minutes. Please join us to help stop elephants from disappearing. Come visit on Tuesday, August 12th for World Elephant Day (www.worldelephantday.org) and get your awareness ribbon at the elephant habitat. Oh, and we'll see you in San Francisco at the march. Onward, elephant warriors!

What should happen is you report your serial number and when that gets used on any carrier the person cannot activate it at the least. That should be done by apple or who ever. They can track what we surf on the web and are location and this and that yet they cant add a simple... no restore, iphone is bricked unless apple unblocks the serial.
I agree, blocking each phone by serial number is the way to go. It would cut down the number of phones stolen if they can't be activated on another carrier or account with the same carrier. AT&T has had the ability to disable stolen iphones for quiet sometime but has neglected to enforce it since they make soooo much $$ off of it.
this is retarded, what they should do is upload code once you report it stolen locking up all apps, so they take it into apple and u get your iPhone back or ping the GPS on the iPhone so that the police can get it back for you
I personally don't really care if someone used my iPhone as long as they don't crack my screen or damage it in any way
robbers can't rack up charges on apps without the password unless u have the password auto fill hack so this is useless, except for the fact that your out the price of the iPhone +200 cause your not in the market for an upgrade
If Apple really cared about putting a stop to iPhone theft and resale, they'd stop signing SHSH blobs for stolen ECID's (which are darn near impossible to change) and activation tickets for stolen IMEIs polled from a global database. These things would still be possible to bypass for older phones, but the barrier of entry is much higher.
That aside, I'm glad to see AT&T getting with the rest of the cell phone world, circa 2003. Unless, of course, AT&T just blocks the SIM instead of killing it entirely, while not blocking the IMEI (which is just pointless).
Here is what the procedure should be:
You call AT&T and report the phone as stolen
AT&T checks the location of the phone and reports it to the police
AT&T remotely backs up the phone
AT&T wipes the phone automatically
AT&T then monitors the location of the phone in real time, reporting it to the police as necessary until the phone is recovered.
I say AT&T above for simplicity, but this could really be any carrier.
Also, no carrier should allow a phone that has been reported as stolen to be activated and when someone tries, the police should be called, unless the person can demonstrate that they are the rightful owner and the phone has been returned to them.
Ya, AT&T AND all the other carriers could have done this from the start.
The reason they didn't: FOLLOW THE MONEY!
I know they have the ability because that's how 911 works.
BUT, there has been no incentive. Think about it...
If the carrier can sell you a new phone and make another $200 to $400,
why would they want to help you get your phone back.
Now they will do more because they still want to keep you as their customer.
Oh and the FCC mandated this. Trust and believe AT&T would not have done this if there was a choice simply for the fact it will certainly turn into a nightmare of people calling in trying to get back at a crazy ex by blocking his/her phone.

Prime NineProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
There are 9! ways to arrange the digits 1-9 to form a 9-digit number.
E.g. 345, 987, 126
If you know this, then if I wrote all 9! possibilities on cards (1 way per card), and I asked you to select one at random; what is the probability that the number you selected is prime?
HintDivisibility tricks are useful now.
A well known divisibility rule is that if a number's digits add to 9, the number itself is a multiple of 9.
(E.g. 18, 1+8=9, 18 is a multiple of 9
24786, 2+4+7+8+6=27, 2+7=9, 24786 is a multiple of 9)
Given the fact that 1+2+...+8+9=45, which is a multiple of 9; this means that all 9! numbers are multiples of 9.

Alliance of Civilizations: Statement by Ambassador Berger
(Statement as delivered by Ambassador Berger on the occassion of a meeting of the Group of Friends of the Alliance of Civilizations)
"Thank you, High Representative, for giving me the floor and let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on assuming your new important position.
Germany fully aligns itself with the statement made earlier by the EU and I therefore will keep our national remarks very brief.
I would like to thank the High Representative for sharing his views on the prospects and future strategic plan for the Alliance. It this context we would like to highlight the proposal to actively use the Focal Points' network to analyse and evaluate the Alliance`s work. This in our view will help strengthening the Alliance in order to tackle future challenges more effectively.
We would like to call on the Alliance of Civilizations and all partners to make effective use of this network. This also implies the provision of the network with timely and comprehensive information on future plans and activities.
Concerning future priorities, be believe that projects for young people should remain a top priority. This is why Germany decided to continue its support for the UN AOC Fellowship program with another 300.000 EURO for this year. We see the Fellowship Program becoming more and more a flagship project of the UNAOC.
In the context of the ongoing transformation processes in Arab countries, the fellowship program provides emerging "leaders" of those countries with a unique opportunity to connect and exchange experiences with their peers from other regions of the world.
We are looking forward to welcoming the next group of AoC fellows in New York and in Berlin in June.
Germany also welcomes the initiative to launch an alumni-network of the AoC Fellows and thanks the government of Azerbaijan for hosting the first alumni meeting in Baku.
Germany looks forward to the further elaboration of the Alliance's Strategic Plan for 2013-2018 and stands ready to work closely together with you in this regard.
Thank you."

A teenager is appealing for businesses to chip in with donations ahead of a fun day to raise money for a dementia care home.
Ted Williams, of Selsdon, is to hold an action-packed day of activities on the playing fields of John Fisher School in Purley, where he studies.
The 17-year-old hopes to raise thousands of pounds for Heavers Court, a dementia care home in Selhurst where his much-loved granddad lived his last days, as will as for the school's science fund.
A similar fun day last year raised more than £2,500.
Ted is hoping to go bigger and better this year and has drawn up plans including an appearance from Jessica Hammond, star of BBC's The Voice, for the fun day on July 12.
He is asking businesses to help out in any way they can - and has already received jewellery worth £800 from YC London, a shop in the Whitgift Centre, to use as prizes in charity raffles.
Ted said: "I was asked if I could do it again after last year because everyone had a fantastic time.
"It was a brilliant day and I really enjoyed doing it.
"The care Heavers Court provide is really good so it is great to help them out."
Ted's granddad Albert Mackey, 75, spent six months before dying of Alzheimer's disease in 2011.

Sunny weather, stunning beaches and area theme parks may be a big draw for visitors coming to San Diego, but so too are craft beer, college bowl games, regattas and a rock-and-roll-themed marathon.
While San Diego's appeal as a tourist destination is well known, many of the city's year-round events already familiar to locals still depend on aggressive marketing to entice out-of-towners to pay a visit.
That won't be happening this year, the first time in several years that no marketing funds will be available to groups as diverse as the Craft Brewers Guild and San Diego Bowl Game Association, and organizers of the San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival.
Together, about a dozen of the organizations that typically get a share of the city's marketing money are credited with generating tens of thousands of hotel room nights over and above what would have normally been expected.
A sharp cutback in marketing funds that last week forced the city's Tourism Authority to lay off nearly half its staff is also to blame for the lack of financial support for the smaller groups that help fill hotel rooms.
"We expect attendance will be negatively impacted this year because we don't have the funds to tell people outside the market to come to San Diego during a slow period of the year to enjoy our Beer Week," said Chris Cramer, CEO of Karl Strauss Brewing. Last year, the November event was estimated to have generated more than 3,600 room nights over a 10-day period. "And it's not only a negative impact on Beer Week, but also beer tourism that will be felt throughout this entire next year because we will not be able to do any promotion," he said.
Each year, organizations compete for marketing moneys that are doled out by the city's hotelier-run Tourism Marketing District.
Related: Tourist marketing a must in San Diego?
At stake is nearly $30 million in funds the city collects via a 2 percent surcharge on hotel room bills. Much of the money, however, will be frozen this fiscal year because of pending litigation challenging the room levy. The funds are being released only as hotel owners submit signed indemnification agreements that would protect the city's general fund in the event the assessment is overturned and refunds are requested. Most owners, however, have refused to sign the agreements, leaving the city with a fraction of the tourism marketing money it's accustomed to.
Here's a look at some of the key groups that will be without funding for the 2013-14 fiscal year and the hotel nights they've generated based on audits conducted for the 2012 fiscal year.
San Diego Brewers Guild, Beer Week
2012 funding: $74,900 Room nights: 3,612
When the Brewers Guild initially got its funding, it agreed to stage the event in November because that time is typically slower for local hotels and other hospitality-related businesses. As San Diego's craft beer scene has grown, along with the 10-day festival, so too has the number of people coming from outside San Diego for the event.
Despite Beer Week's rising profile, advertising is still needed to promote the event throughout Southern California and also Arizona, said Cramer. Now that the money has been cut, it's likely this year's festival will draw mostly locals, he expects. In years past, the money has helped pay for radio spots, ads in magazines and online and the hiring of a public relations firm to promote Beer Week.
"Individual breweries are stepping up and making contributions so we can have a successful Beer Week, but it's not like we have the ability to raise a lot of money to do that," Cramer said.
Competitor Group, Rock 'n' Roll Marathon
2012 funding: $350,000 Room nights: 54,410
As well known as the June marathon has become, there's no guarantee that the same participants from outside San Diego will return year after year to run through the city streets, says Scott Dickey, CEO of the Competitor Group, owner of the marathon series that is run in 32 different cities.
"The key fact is only 20 percent of the field returns the following year because runners don't typically run the same marathon year over year," Dickey said, "so part of our challenge every year is we need to re-recruit four out of every five runners."
Competitor Group quickly discovered the impact of no marketing dollars for this year's race following a just completed analysis prepared by San Diego State's MBA program. With little money to spend on radio advertising and other media, participation by runners outside San Diego dropped 14 percent, compared to an overall 2 percent decline in runners. Worse, the total number of hotel stays fell 28 percent, Dickey said.
"There's a lot of increased competition, and this is the No. 1 mass participatory sporting event in the city, so it's challenging when that funding goes away."
San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival
2012 funding: $75,000 Room nights: 6,125
The five-day festival, which showcases premier wine producers, chefs and culinary stars, has grown to the point where organizers hope attendance won't fall despite the absence of marketing money. Out-of-town attendance, however, is quite another thing, said Michele Metter, co-producer of the 10-year-old event, typically held in November.
"We had grown to the point where we attracted 36 percent of our audience from outside the market, so without the funding, we're going to have to shift our strategy and focus on locals," Metter said. "This year we'll do some billboards, and we'll also do a banner program down Harbor Drive and through Market Street, and we'll partner with local radio stations.
"Of course, it's disappointing, but we've quickly regrouped."
San Diego Crew Classic
2012 funding: $215,000 Room nights: 9,218
Billed as one of the premier rowing events, the regatta has seen its team participation grow 20 percent over the last five years since San Diego's Marketing District began giving organizers marketing money, said Martha Shumaker, executive director of the Crew Classic. Not only has the money helped with advertising the April event, but it also goes toward covering appearance fees to attract top collegiate crews, which helps make the event a bigger draw for those coming from outside San Diego.
To compensate for the cutback in funds, the Crew Classic organization is looking at the possibility of upping some of its fees and increasing its fundraising efforts. Shumaker said she plans to hire a fundraiser to assist her.
"We're also hoping some of the cuts we make will help fund the collegiate stipends, although this is happening at a time when the colleges tell us this is costing them more and more," she said. "It's my hope that the residual effect of advertising will carry us through this year and there won't be an impact."
San Diego Bowl Game Association
2012 funding: $450,000 Room nights: 36,393
Like the Crew Classic, the Bowl Game Association relies on the marketing funding to attract top-tier college teams that are key to drawing high attendance, especially from other cities. Taking place in December, the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowls are considered economic drivers for a time of year when visitation to San Diego slows.
"The $450,000 we get certainly is important and helps make those major payouts, so without it, it will impact our budgets," said Executive Director Bruce Binkowski. "It'll hurt. I'll have to do things like raise ticket prices, bring in additional sponsorships and cut our expenses. It does impact everything we do to put on the best bowl game we can."
California State Games
2012 funding: $125,000 Room nights: 28,877
Held earlier this month, the State Games are designed as a multisport festival of Olympic-style competition for amateur athletes of all ages and abilities. Because the organizers learned late that they would not be getting funds to help cover costs already incurred for marketing and recruitment of participants, they'll be operating in the red this year, said Executive Director Sandi Hill.
"It was a major blow five weeks before the event," she said. "We couldn't change anything with that short notice. Next year, it could have a huge impact. we just have to figure out ways to make it work."

AUSTIN - Texas senators are wrapping up debate on sweeping abortion restrictions and are getting ready to vote.
Senators began making final statements Friday night, after protesters briefly interrupted proceedings.
Republicans are expected to pass the bill. But Democrats sought to soften it and enter into the legislative record material that could help in a court battle.
Democrats say the restrictions are unconstitutional.
The Senate's debate took place between a packed gallery of demonstrators, with anti-abortion activists wearing blue and abortion-rights supporters wearing orange.
Four women who tried to chain themselves to a railing in the gallery were arrested. One woman was successful in chaining herself, prompting a 10-minute recess.
When debate resumed, protesters began loudly singing, "Give choice a chance." Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst told officers to remove them.
Watch the abortion debate live.

UF familiar with Bridgestone
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Florida is no stranger to the arena where the SEC Tournament is taking place. The Gators have played nine games in what is now called Bridgestone Arena:
2001 SEC Tournament
What happened: Florida beat Alabama 69-61 but lost to Ole Miss 74-69. Matt Bonner led Florida in the first game with 22 points, and Brett Nelson added 19 against a physical Alabama team. The depleted Gators (starters Brent Wright and Justin Hamilton were injured) got a double-double from Udonis Haslem against Ole Miss (20 points, 14 rebounds), but it wasn't enough.
2005 NCAA Tournament
What happened: Florida, fresh off its first SEC Tournament championship, beat Ohio 67-62 in the first round before losing to Villanova 76-65 to end the season. Guard Anthony Roberson was so upset after the loss he threw his uniform top into a trash can as he left the floor. This was Florida's only NCAA appearance in Nashville.
2006 SEC Tournament
What happened: Florida beat Arkansas 74-71, beat LSU 81-65 and beat South Carolina 49-47 to win a second straight tournament title. Joakim Noah tipped in a Corey Brewer miss for the winning basket, then blocked Renaldo Balkman's shot at the end of the game. Noah ran to Billy Donovan to give him a hug after the win. Unfortunately, Donovan was dealing with back spasms and started yelling, "My back, Jo, my back!" Guard Taurean Green was the MVP.
2010 SEC Tournament
What happened: Florida beat Auburn 78-69 and lost to Mississippi State 75-69. The loss put Florida's NCAA bid in jeopardy, but the Gators ended a two-year drought when they were selected two days later. Current seniors Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy played in the games with Boynton scoring 32 points and shooting 7-of-15 from 3-point range. Murphy played only 19 minutes in the two games and scored one point.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A radiologist has been sentenced after pleading guilty to a charge that he secretly videoed a girl using the shower in his home.
Jeffrey Dardinger apologized at his sentencing Tuesday. Hamilton County Judge Dennis Helmick ordered him to serve three years of probation, 200 hours of community service, and to report his whereabouts as a sex offender for 15 years.
His victim, now age, 20, wrote to the court that Dardinger had ruined "every ounce of trust" that she had in people when she learned he used the camera on her in his then-home in Amberley Village near Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/Wuckb8 ) that he was fired from the Florence, Ky., medical practice where he worked. His attorney says Dardinger's life "has really fallen off the cliff."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The four finalists recommended for a soon-to-be-vacated seat on the Ohio commission that regulates public utilities include a former state budget director and a utility-rate administrator for the commission.
A nominating panel considered 27 applicants for the seat on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and submitted the finalists Thursday to Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik). He can make his choice from that list or ask for a new one.
The commission will have an open seat because Chairman Todd Snitchler (SNIHCH'-lur) decided not to seek reappointment when his term expires April 10.
The finalists include two from Columbus: utility-rate administrator Patrick Donlon and Tom Johnson, who was budget director under Gov. Bob Taft. Toledo city Councilman Tom Waniewski and Cleveland lawyer Stacey Polk also made the short list.

Wainwright dominates as Cards blank Nats
WASHINGTON -- The same struggles against the Nationals that Adam Wainwright let simmer as motivation all offseason were not forgotten by Yadier Molina. The Cardinals' catcher took them personally, believing he could do a better job setting his pitcher up for success.
And so Molina, along with backup catcher Tony Cruz, arrived at the ballpark earlier than usual on Tuesday to dissect film of Wainwright's starts against Washington in 2012. They discovered tendencies and took those to Wainwright, who turned around to then expose the Nats' lineup as he pitched the Cards to a 2-0 win in front of 29,986 fans at Nationals Park.
"I don't want to say I don't do this every day, because I do," Molina said of the pregame video work. "But I was so focused to beat those guys, because I know last year [Wainwright] had a hard time facing the Nationals, so I wanted to do something different."
Doing something different entailed throwing only one changeup and incorporating elevated four-seam fastballs into Wainwright's repertoire. The latter is a pitch that Wainwright chose to focus on this spring, knowing that it would make his curveball -- which is delivered from the same release point -- even more effective.
Wainwright nearly rode the game plan to his second shutout in five starts this month and settled for 8 1/3 scoreless innings. New closer Edward Mujica polished off the win with his third save in six games. Getting the final two outs required a mere three pitches.
"My stuff was good tonight," Wainwright said. "I felt good early and I just tried to command what I was doing. A very, very solid lineup over there, and they've got some numbers off me in the past. You could go two ways with it. You either remember those [bad] games, give them too much credit and you go out there defeated already. Or you say no, I'm a good enough pitcher to get anyone out if I just execute my plan. That's what I chose to do."
Indeed, this outcome was in stark contrast to his pair of appearances at Nationals Park in 2012, both of which ended with Wainwright being chased before finishing three innings. He served up six runs in a 2 2/3-inning regular-season start before giving up another six in a 2 1/3-inning postseason outing.
He had combined to allow 16 hits in those two games. On Tuesday, the Nats would finish with five.
"He was just living on the corner," Washington infielder Danny Espinosa said. "He wasn't making a mistake in the middle of the plate. You hit mistakes, that's what you do. He didn't make [many] mistakes tonight."
It was a continuum of Wainwright's early-season dominance. He's now on a personal four-game winning streak, during which he's allowed five earned runs in 32 innings. Wainwright opened Tuesday by retiring 15 of the first 16 batters he faced. Six of those outs came via strikeout. That total would climb to nine by night's end, giving him 37 in 38 innings this season.
None was bigger than fooling Adam LaRoche into chasing a nearly shoulder-high, 94-mph fastball to end the sixth. The Nationals had loaded the bases with two singles and a two-out walk -- the first free pass Wainwright had issued all season -- to get to their cleanup hitter.
LaRoche worked the count to 2-2, at which point Molina visited the mound to let Wainwright know he planned to call a curve. Wainwright countered with suggesting he go back to that elevated fastball. Molina obliged. LaRoche fouled off the first. He missed the second.
"He's so confident with the fastball that I just follow him," Molina said. "He's smart. Whenever he wants something, I just follow him."
"That could have been a huge turning point right there," added manager Mike Matheny.
Wainwright stranded a runner in scoring position to end the eighth. And after Bryce Harper led off the ninth with a double, Wainwright answered by striking LaRoche out for the fourth time in as many at-bats. With Wainwright's pitch count sitting at 113, Matheny turned to Mujica.
"[Wainwright] had a lot of stressful situations there that usually kind of amplifies that pitch count," Matheny said. "I liked what he had going into the inning, but as hard as he had to work to get LaRoche right there, that takes a lot out of them when they're that beat down already."
Mujica brought no drama to the ninth, saving the Cardinals' fifth shutout of the season.
"I'm disappointed I didn't finish it, but at the same time, I knew I threw a quality game and we won the game," Wainwright said. "So I can't really hang my head."
Though Wainwright has a shot to end April with five wins, he won't make that next start with the chance to set the franchise record for most consecutive innings without a walk to open the season. His streak ended at 34 2/3 innings, when he pitched around Harper to get to LaRoche in the sixth. That keeps Slim Sallee's mark of 40 walk-free innings (set in 1913) safe.
"I wasn't going to go the whole season without walking someone," Wainwright said. "I wanted to let the game dictate when that was OK to do. Right there, I thought that pitching him tough, even though I'm loading the bases for a tough hitter in LaRoche, Bryce Harper can hurt you in a lot of different ways."
The Cards scored both their runs within a four-batter span in the fourth. Allen Craig followed Shane Robinson's leadoff single with a run-scoring double, pushing his team-best RBI total to 15. Matt Holliday moved Craig to third with a single, and Carlos Beltran drove him home with his first hit of the night.
The previous three innings had all ended with Nats starter and St. Louis-area native Ross Detwiler inducing a double play.
With consecutive wins to open this three-game series, the Cardinals have guaranteed themselves a winning nine-game road trip. The team had last won back-to-back games on April 12-13.

Spring 2010 Hot List
Society for Rational Dress's Corinne Grassini may live my ideal life. From her inspiring Richard Serra-style studio in a converted Los Angeles warehouse, the Central St. Martins grad designs exquisitely soft knits and relaxed, washed silk dresses. In her spare time, Grassini builds furniture from reclaimed wood. And she gets to travel for work to places like Peru, where she recently went to oversee her knitwear production and take an extended vacation. "When I'm in the outskirts of Lima, I see alpacas roaming the streets and vendors hand-weaving beautiful rugs and blankets," she says. "It's very inspiring to see that there's still a connection between the manufacturing economy of Peru and the roots of Peruvian culture." Did I mention she named her line after a 19th century London group, Rational Dress Society, who sought to reform women's fashion by eschewing the constricting Victorian garments of the day?

"It makes me very proud to see gathered together all the great designers and houses I've worked with over the years.

I was looking over some old outfit posts and I couldn't help but notice how my style has evolved. I don't follow any "rules" and I dress regardless of what people think. It's how I feel in a garment that dictates my mood. For example, this Lovedrobe Crochet Neck Dress (£38.00) made me feel very flirty. Not that I was, but you know what I mean (LOL). The dress was a little too short for me, so I wore my Bali leggings underneath. My hubby was happy about that. I chose my trusty Nine West heels to wear out that night. And I accessorized with a beautiful ring from Avenue and my Lane Bryant bracelets.
This dress got me so many compliments! I love the ruffle hem and the crocheted neck. Two distinct design features that you wouldn't normally think go together. And the crochet goes all the way around, while the ruffle hem is just in the front. The dress does have a tie in the back so you can adjust it and a black slip underneath the dress, so it's not see through. I did get a size bigger than what I normally wear, bit it didn't make too much of a difference, I just adjusted the tie in the back and I was set. Love it!
Lovedrobe is a UK plus size clothing line and as of now you can find it on Style369.com. You should definitely check them out if you haven't already.

Advanced Topic: What are Domain Profiles, and how do they work?
In order to speed up registrations and make managing domains easier, Tucows has a system called Domain Profiles. A profile is simply a username and password associated with a domain or domains which gives access to a Web-based interface to manage these specific domains.
When registering or transferring domains, instead of typing all the same information repeatedly, your Provider can use the profile of an existing Tucows-registered domain as template for the new registration. The domain information (Administrative Contact, Billing Contact, Technical Contact, and name servers) for the two domains will be exactly the same.
Domains that are created or transferred using the same profile information can be managed together in the Domain Management Interface. This is where the domain, username and password combination are entered to gain secure access to a Domain Management Interface. Here the end-user can change contact info for all domains in the same profile. They can also easily switch between different domains using Manage Another Domain link.
It is important to remember that anyone with the profile login information can change all info for all domains in the profile, including ownership. Guard this information carefully!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1668 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MORRIS -- When the next chapter of Canada's civil rights history is written, this one-traffic-light town may be a bleak footnote. Morris is the dot on the map where the editor of a small paper used his pulpit to promote hatred against aboriginal people.
In the Jan. 14 issue of the Morris Mirror, editor Reed Turcotte wrote: "Thumbs Down to Canada's native community and those of Manitoba who are demanding unrealistic expectations of the government and who in some cases are acting like terrorists in their own country. Indians/Natives want it all but corruption and laziness prevent some of them from working for it."
A week later, U.S. President Barack Obama was sworn in for his second term. In his remarks, Obama said: "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate."
Remember those words.
On Jan. 21, Turcotte ran a selection of letters weighing in on his comments. A few were critical. Most weren't. He headlined one note "B.S. Movement."
"Good for you. I agree with your article 100%," the letter read. "(I)f (only) the Indians would put as much effort into employment as they have for this movement."
"I would like to say congratulations for having the guts to say what everyone else is thinking," read another. "Maybe if they had jobs they would be too busy to set up roadblocks etc. Thanks for having the balls to tell it how it is."
They. Them. The others. Not like us, the righteous. They are different and, by inference, inferior. Every culture has an underclass, it seems, and by God, First Nations people are ours.
Morris was previously best-known for its summer pro rodeo, and as one of the places people pass through on their way to the American border. Its neatly kept Main Street is a stretch of Highway 75 where the speed limit slows to 50 for a few blocks, then rips quickly back up to 100. You can get a massage, have a decent meal, pick up groceries, gas up the car and stop for a beer along Main Street. This was a small town like any other, before hatred oozed out.
Turcotte is owner, publisher and editor of the free, twice-monthly newspaper. He has published more often since the controversy began, capitalizing on the Canada-wide attention.
The majority of Morris residents say the editor does not speak for them. Lawyer Daniel Orlikow promptly cancelled his front-page ad.
"I had to," he says. "I know there are a lot of people who supported him, but I had to."
Tax accountant Helga Rose Hoeppner also pulled her ads. She's got a client on nearby Roseau River First Nation who says residents there may boycott advertisers.
"I don't want to make it look like I support him," Hoeppner says. "I'm all for freedom of speech but there's a line you don't cross, singling out a race like that."
But there are the number of fence-sitters who won't take a position on Turcotte's words or the barrage of supportive racist comments. At Bartlett's Barber Shop, the proprietor pretends he hasn't heard about the controversy. His visiting friend claims he's deaf and can't hear a journalist's questions. One real estate agent, asked if she'll continue to advertise in the Mirror, says she has no comment. She doesn't want to get involved, she says. Her words are echoed up and down Main Street. This is a small community, many say, and we can't afford to antagonize anyone.
You can't waffle on this one. Turcotte dragged Morris into the 1950s American South, where uppity negroes were put in their place, and that place wasn't where decent, God-fearing white folks lived. That attitude wasn't right then and there, and it's not right here and now. Unless Morris wants to join Selma, Ala., in the annals of shame, it's time to stand up and be counted.
Turcotte is laying low. He didn't respond to email and telephone requests for an interview. The Mirror offices, tucked into a strip mall next to the Let Go Let God Ministries, are locked. When a writer and a photographer went to his home, a woman peered out the window but refused to answer the door.
Morris Mayor Gavin van der Linde is talking about the poison in his town. He was born in South Africa, moved to Canada 14 years ago, and has been town mayor for two years. Some Mirror readers suggested he move back to Africa after he denounced the editorial. Van der Linde says he is struggling to find something positive in what he views as an appalling attack on aboriginal peoples.
"There have been some conversations initiated that should have taken place a long time ago," he says. "There is a time when people need to stand up, speak out and refuse to tolerate these attitudes. It's not going to help our country if people are entrenched in their opinions and won't consider the other side."
Retiree Bill Fulford agrees. The 73-year-old has lived in Morris for "the best 35 years of my life," served on town council and is an articulate coffee shop habitué. He says Turcotte's words and the supportive comments he published are "disgusting."
"It's racism. We have a serious problem in this country. We have people who exist as a subclass who just want what we all want. Why is that wrong?"
Fulford says he can't imagine right-thinking people will continue to advertise in the Mirror.
"Can you imagine having your name in there? That is just so wrong. Even if it costs you money, you've got to stand up for it. People know the difference between right and wrong."
People do know that, as they know many uncomfortable truths.
Montgomery, Ala. Little Rock, Ark. Memphis, Tenn. Unless Morris, Man., wants to join the roll call of shame, the majority of decent people here must stand up and agree name-calling is no substitute for reasoned debate.

"Loved this card - and i loved that it was a post card for our rehearsal dinner. I changed the font colors and boarder to pink with a white card background and it's just perfect! Thank you. Turn around was quick and efficient and the changes I needed made before printing were changed quickly and accurately."
"I thought these would be so cute for our upcoming wedding rehearsal in Nashville, and I am so happy that I ordered them! I customized the colors to a light pink and charcoal gray, and I was absolutely thrilled with the final product! I couldn't wait to mail these out, and I was so pleased to hear that so many of our guests loved receiving them too!"
"I really loved this product. The quality of the paper and printing is great, and I received my order very quickly! I would definitely recommend this for your rehearsal dinner invites."
"We used this card for our rehearsal dinner and to give guests all the information they need about the rehearsal before. I absolutely loved the idea of a postcard so we were able to provide dinner details on one side and ceremony rehearsal details on the other side. The paper quality was fantastic and the print quality was good. My only concern was that the large script where it states Practice was not as sharp as I thought it should have been, but it would not be enough of a reason to keep me from re-ordering the product or to keep me from recommending to someone else. As always customer service was fabulous! I even had a little glitch with shipping due to the labor day holiday and customer service refunded the shipping charge immediately, although I didn't expect or ask for that. Truly a great product from an excellent company."
"I liked the postcard idea. All of the information was covered with one item. The card could be used for both the wedding party members and those guests that were invited to the rehearsal dinner and not part of the rehearsal. Concise and compact....that's what we needed to convey a more relaxed event hosted by the groom's family."

• The Blueshirts improved to 9-0-0 in the second game of back-to-back sets, having out-scored their opponent 31-9 in those games, and have posted a 4-0-0 mark when the second game is at MSG.

Girardi extended his scoring streak to three games, registering five points (one goal, four assists) over the span.
• Brandon Prust tallied a shorthanded goal with six seconds remaining in the second period, and has now registered six points (four goals, two assists) in the last eight games.

• Martin Biron stopped 30 of 33 shots through regulation and overtime, and turned aside all three shots faced in the shootout to improve to 6-2-0 overall with a 4-2-0 mark at MSG. Biron has posted a 13-4-2 record in his last 20 starts dating back to last season (4-3 win on Feb. 9, 2010 vs. Nashville), and is now 5-1-0 with a 2.41 goals against average and a .919 save percentage in his last eight games.

John Tortorella on Brandon Prust… "He is part of our core. He is not home grown from our minor league team but he has grown into us. He has been killing penalties, he will fight anybody. He is a big part of who we are. You look at a Ryan Callahan you look at Prust, that is who we are trying to be as a Ranger team. Little by little we are creating an identity."
Marty Biron on tonight's game… "After that second goal, Dru (Chris Drury) skated by and slapped me in the pad and said 'show them what you got.' I felt pretty good that the Captain skated by me and gave me a vote of confidence. That helped me a lot to get back in the game."
Brandon Prust on the team's attitude… "Never give up attitude. We just keep coming no matter what the score is. We are going to win a lot of games if we keep doing that stuff."

Last week Prime Minister Harper issued an apology to the native peoples of Canada for residential schools. We are getting our very own Truth and Reconciliation Program, which apparently comes with a 4 billion dollar settlement package. I'm sorry, here's some money, and can we please have some closure now??? This is the message that I get from this. Harper did have some wonderful words to say though.
"The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Indian Residential Schools policy were profoundly negative and that this policy has had a lasting and damaging impact on Aboriginal culture, heritage and language. While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools, these stories are far overshadowed by tragic accounts of the emotional, physical and sexual abuse and neglect of helpless children, and their separation from powerless families and communities.
The legacy of Indian Residential Schools has contributed to social problems that continue to exist in many communities today.
It has taken extraordinary courage for the thousands of survivors that have come forward to speak publicly about the abuse they suffered. It is a testament to their resilience as individuals and to the strength of their cultures. Regrettably, many former students are not with us today and died never having received a full apology from the Government of Canada.
The government recognizes that the absence of an apology has been an impediment to healing and reconciliation. Therefore, on behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I stand before you, in this Chamber so central to our life as a country, to apologize to Aboriginal peoples for Canada's role in the Indian Residential Schools system." The rest of the speech can be read here.
Not to be out done Opposition leader Stephane Dion chimed in with, "The residential school system is even older than Confederation. Parents and children were made to feel worthless.
"Today, we lay the first stone in building a monument dedicated to truth."
I was pleased when I heard that Harper apologized but since that time I have found myself thinking, and now what? Natives are still over represented in the prison population, have large percentages living in poverty, and Native women are subject to an alarming rate of sexual assault in this country. So my question to Harper is now what? It has been almost a week since you have apologized on behalf of Canada, but what concrete changes are going to happen to insure that Natives stand equal to every other Canadian, not only in law but in practice. What is the national conversation about this issue really going to be about, and who is going to lead it? Even while reporting about the apology, some reporters like Lorne Gunter, of the Calgary Herald could not refrain from racist attacks.
There's no question the schools disrupted communities and made many families dysfunctional. Ripples are certainly still being felt. But a half century after the zenith of the schools' activity, they cannot be the main culprit for today's conditions among aboriginals.
Really, so the near destruction of Native culture, language and laws should have no effect on today. Blacks have not recovered from slavery, and you expect Natives to get over the near cultural genocide that they had to endure. These schools affirmed the cultural location of Native peoples at the bottom rung of Canadian society, and since the government is still largely run by white men, and they are subject to white rules, what do you see as significantly changing?
Indeed, if I had to bet, I would say that 50 years hence some future prime minister will be apologizing in the Commons for the way today's massive native subsidies — nearly $18,000 for every man, woman and child with treaty status — encouraged a welfare dependence that devastated whole communities by robbing them of the need to be self-sufficient.
Compensation for crimes is now considered welfare? $18,000 is no where near sufficient for what happened. We claim to be a socialist country, therefore does it not behoove us to help those amongst us that are suffering without stigmatizing that aid…In this case it isn't even aid, it's COMPENSATION. Somehow by paying them less than they are due we are robbing them of self-sufficiency? I think perhaps you are more concerned about how this is going to effect your rate of taxation, rather than focusing on attempting to correct a historic injustice.
Not every school was a hellhole. Nor was every teacher at the bad ones abusive. Lost in all the blame-gaming about the schools over the past decade are the stories of dedicated missionaries and teachers working in remote locations under poor conditions to teach aboriginal students academics and useful industrial skills.
The key to this comment is "academics and useful industrial skills." This of course only applies if you consider those skills valuable, or recognize it as advancement. If it is forced upon you, and the cost is your culture and traditions then no it is not advancement. It is not for us to judge from our perspective the quality of the lives they were leading. What is appropriate for one segment of a society is not necessarily appropriate, or ground breaking for all members.
Gunters historical revisionist approach to this issue is not unique. Many Canadians are asking why they should have to pay for a crime that they did not commit, all the while forgetting that every single step that they take in Canada is on NATIVE LAND. Everything that you own and take pride in, is predicated on the theft of Native land and the near genocide of a people. This is Canada's history, and while it may not be taught in our schools, it is the truth of what happened.
While I am thrilled at Harpers public apology we should remember that shortly after taking power, Harper's Conservative government canceled the Kelowna Accord, which was a $5-billion initiative to address inequality for First Nations people. His Conservative government was also one of only two governments–Russia's being the other–that voted against a United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples. But he/we are sorry. True change cannot come just from issuing an apology. Concrete changes need to happen to redress this historic wrong. We cannot on one hand say yes were sorry, now turn your head while we continue to attempt to steal your land, supply untreated water to reserves, curtail your fishing rights, and throw your activists in jail when they refuse to acquiesce to our demands. Truly being sorry means taking ownership for the problems that we have created. It means listening with humility to the pain that we have caused, and attempting in the future not to repeat the mistakes that we have made. So I say again, great apology Mr.Harper, now what?

Liquid-based methods for collecting cervical cells and preparing them
for laboratory evaluation are available.
A sample of cervical cells is collected during a
Pap test. Then the cells are rinsed in a liquid
vial (instead of being smeared on slides). The vials are taken to the laboratory,
and a thin layer of the specimen is put on slides for microscopic examination.
Only a small portion of the sample is used for the slide, so the remainder of
the cell sample can be used for any further testing, such as a
human papillomavirus (HPV) test.
These methods can produce
false-positive results just like standard Pap tests.
These methods cost more than standard Pap testing.
