As much as we love being women and celebrating our femininity, there are some issues that just aren't so fun to deal with – like the problems we face downstairs. Find out which gynecological problem you might encounter, how to recognize and treat the symptoms and what steps you can take to prevent them. Plus: Are you at risk for breast cancer?
1. Yeast Infections
A yeast infection is a type of vaginitis, and 3 out of 4 women will experience at least one in their life; half of women will have more than one. Yeast infections can be passed to men, but this is rare.
What it is: Yeast infections are caused by a natural-occurring fungal organism called Candida albicans. The acidic environment of the vagina helps keep the yeast from growing, but when the acidic balance is altered, a yeast infection can occur. Moisture and other irritation can also promote the yeast to grow.
Certain medications, antibiotics, steroids and birth control pills, stress, pregnancy, diabetes, and AIDS can kill "good bacteria," cause changes in hormones or weaken the immune system, which all contribute to yeast infections. (See related article: 14 Embarrassing Sex Questions – Answered)
Treatment: If you've never had a yeast infection, your doctor can diagnose the exact problem with a pelvic exam or by taking a swab.
First-time yeast infections can generally be treated with over-the-counter medications, such as Monistat, and symptoms usually clear up within a week. The medicine comes in a cream or suppository form, and the cream can also be used to relieve outer vaginal itching.
For recurrent yeast infections or hard-to-clear-up infections, your doctor will prescribe an oral antibiotic.
What you can do to help prevent it:
2. Urinary Tract Infection More than half of all women will develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) sometime in their life. Men can develop UTIs too, but they are more common in women because their urethra is shorter, so bacteria have a shorter distance to travel.
What it is: A UTI is a bacterial infection of your urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Bacteria from your skin near the rectum or in the vagina can spread and enter through the urethra, causing a UTI. The most common UTI is in the bladder, which can be very painful.
Sexual intercourse, use of diaphragms, menopause, or a weakened immune system are common causes of UTIs.
Treatment: Your doctor will obtain a urine sample to determine what type of bacteria is present in the urine. Unless you have other health problems, antibiotics are then prescribed, and symptoms usually clear up within a few days of treatment.
For recurrent UTIs, your doctor may prescribe you low doses of antibiotics for several months to prevent infections from coming back. If sexual intercourse is the cause of UTIs, your doctor may prescribe a single dose of an antibiotic after you have sex.
If the infection is more serious and has spread to your kidneys, you may need to take an antibiotic for longer or you may need to be hospitalized.
Nausea, lower back pain and fever are some signs of a kidney infection.What you can do to help prevent it:
3. Cervical Cancer What it is: In June 2006, the FDA approved Gardasil, a cervical cancer vaccine, for females between the ages of 9 and 26. As the third most common type of reproductive organ cancer, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. Cervical cancer usually develops slowly over time when normal cervical cells become cancerous in the cervical tissue, and then spread to the cervix and surrounding areas. (See related article: Gardasil and Cervical Cancer)
Human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, is the most common cause of cervical cancer, but not all women who contract HPV will develop cervical cancer. HIV also can weaken the immune system's ability to fight any infection.
Signs: Cervical cancer in its earliest stages usually produces no signs, but as the cancer progresses, you might notice:
Treatment: For pre-invasive stage treatment, the following types of surgery can be performed: conization, laser surgery, loop electrosurgical excision procedure, cryosurgery, and hysterectomy.
For cancer that's reached the invasive stage, the following treatments may be performed: hysterectomy, radical trachelectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy. When the cancer is still confined to the cervix, a five-year survival rate is more than 90%.

Would love to but the commute might be a tad long in the morning
It would be even longer than my 2600km commute!
wooo! looks like I was the only one, so when can I start?!!
It would be great to work for HQ but... I think it would be a bit incovenient for me to go to the gym in Australia when I'm in Spain... can we arrange something somewhere in the middle? I don't know... a gym in Madagascar?
Maybe if they hire me too we could fly together?
Hey if they'll give me 20 cents per Kilometer, 14, 862 km later it will be a bonus of $2972.40. Not too bad, although a little long for a daily commute

2012 BTB Awards: Best-, worst-dressed
The BTB Awards are our look back at the best — and worst — of the tennis season. Today we look at the good, the bad and the downright ugly in 2012 kits. What were some of these designers thinking?
2012 IN REVIEW: Report Card | Surprises | Meltdowns | Shots
The Toss: Which Slam was best? | Quotes | Photos | Videos
1. Andy Murray, Olympics: Stella McCartney did Team GB proud with this perfect integration of the Union Jack into Murray's crisp, clean kit. The wristbands alone were a hot-ticket item. Why can't he just wear this forever? (Getty Images)
2. Serena Williams, Olympics: On the whole, the Olympics were a fashion win for everyone. Nike gets high marks for Serena's kit by creating a dress that didn't simply amount to slapping a flag on a color-coordinated dress. The subtle pattern gave it texture and depth. (Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
3. Maria Sharapova, French Open: The black and army green ensemble looked flat when the sun was shining brightly on Paris' red clay, but when the clouds formed and the conditions got wet and heavy, the dress took on a completely different look. It was under the latter that Sharapova secured her career Grand Slam, and the dress looked perfect as she hoisted the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen. (Nir Elias/Reuters)
4. Roger Federer, U.S. Open: Federer never looks bad in his Nike swag, but he also rarely looks memorable. But this set, which he wore during night matches, had some nice detailing in the collar and pockets. Such an improvement over his standard solids. (Alex Trautwig/Getty Images)
5. Serena Williams, French Open: Seafoam green? Spearmint? Roland Garros advertising board green? Whatever the color, it worked. Well, at least sartorially. The dress will forever go down as what Serena wore when she lost in the first round of a Slam. (JB Autissier/Panoramic/Icon SMI)
6. Victoria Azarenka, Australian Open: The shorts were a bold but perfect choice for the one Slam of the year where beach-bum casual actually works. The shorts made Azarenka look like the hardcore jock that she is, rather than the girly, frilly baby-doll dresses Nike normally puts her in. More shorts in 2013! (Getty Images)
7. Novak Djokovic, Olympics: The secret to Uniqlo's creative design was integrating the Serbian flag into Djokovic's collar. (Getty Images)
8. Victoria Azarenka, Olympics: OK, so there were no shorts. But Azarenka's red and green Belarus kit popped among the sea of red, white, and blue -- not in that order, but in that combination -- that took over the All England Club. (Martin Bernetti/AFP/Getty Images)
9. Andy Roddick, Australian Open: We didn't get to see much of this Lacoste number with Roddick forced to retire in the second round, but the black and white kit looked great in person and, when paired with the neon Babolat shoes, made Roddick look fresh. In fact, Babolat did well by Roddick this year. His Star Spangled kicks were the shoes of the year. (Getty Images)
10. Andrea Hlavackova & Lucie Hradecka, Olympics: Controversial, yes. But I loved the cheeky decision by the cheeky Czech team to outfit its athletes with wellies as their podium kit. Get it? It rains in London! (Leon Neal/AFP/Getty Images)
1. Fernando Verdasco, Australian Open: Even Verdasco was blinded by his own kit. Here's a fashion tip: If people are left wondering if you'd like fries with that, then you should probably get back to the drawing board. (Ryan Pierse/Getty Images)
2. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Australian Open: On the whole, Adidas lost this year. Their neon kits missed the mark throughout the season, leaving its players looking like cartoons. Or, in Tsonga's case, a jack-o'-lantern. (Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
3. Ana Ivanovic, U.S. Open: This whole neon mustard yellow (how is that a color?) failed on every Adidas player who wore it in New York. From Ivanovic to Christina McHale to Laura Robson, no one could pull off these colors. (Getty Images)
4. Andy Murray, World Tour Finals: In his first tournament on home soil since winning the U.S. Open, Adidas decided to make Murray look like a banana that had been run over by an 18-wheeler. (Carl Court/AFP/Getty Images)
5. Caroline Wozniacki, Seoul: On one hand, it was great to see Wozniacki back in simple, solid colors. On the other, Stella McCartney continues to push the envelope the wrong way with a skirt that was ill-fitting, dowdy and completely unflattering. (Getty Images)
6. Tommy Haas, French Open: Not even Tommy Haas -- TOMMY HAAS -- could save this joke of a shirt from Asics. Were they intentionally going for the Court Jester look? I like puns as much as the next person, but no. (Jacques Demarthon/AFP/Getty Images)
7. Janko Tipsarevic, French Open: Too much pattern, too matchy and, all in all, too busy. You might be able to get away with that look in Australia, but it was incongruous at the French Open. (Pascal Guyot/AFP/Getty Images)
8. Victoria Azarenka, French Open: Are you supposed to blend in with the clay? It was back to the frilly dresses for Azarenka by the time the French Open rolled around. (Kenzo Tribouillard/Getty Images)
9. Andy Roddick, Atlanta: This striped cap made me want to reach through my television set and yank it off. From trucker hats to cycling caps, it was always better if Roddick just stayed somewhere in the middle. (Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)
10. Angelique Kerber (left), Cincinnati:

Sveum won't overhype spring games vs. White Sox
MESA, Ariz. -- Thursday was just another Cactus League game for Cubs manager Dale Sveum, but not for Chicago fans. Thursday was Round 1 of Cubs vs. White Sox.
"I've got to be honest, they just run into each other," Sveum said of the Cactus League games. "It's just another Cactus League game where guys are just getting their work in, getting their at-bats, getting their innings in. It's a little tough to think you're going to be super serious when you don't have your [regular] lineup out there, they won't have their lineup out there. It still in the preliminary stages of Spring Training where, obviously, two weeks from now, if we had five or six games left, you'd have your team out there and start playing matchups and doing the things you'd do during the season."
This season, the Cubs-White Sox series has been condensed into a four-game stretch from May 27-30, with two games at each ballpark. Because there are now 15 teams in each league, there will be Interleague games every day during the season.
"We're all going to play the same amount of games against Interleague Play," Sveum said. "It'll be sporadic from Day 1. It's not something you have to deal with. It's just going to be earlier than normal."
There will be a slight difference. In the past, the Cubs usually had all of their games versus American League teams during two stretches of the season, and would add a player to be the designated hitter. This year, the games are spread out, and that may not be an option.
The Cubs will play the Rangers April 16-18 at Wrigley Field; travel to Anaheim June 4-5, Seattle June 28-30 and Oakland July 2-4; and play host to the Angels July 9-10.

Henry Perez, CFCA project coordinator in Lima, Peru, sent us a short series of updates about sponsored friends and how they are being empowered through sponsorship benefits. Here's the story of Estrella, a sponsored child who sings traditional Peruvian music.
Estrella was sponsored one year ago through CFCA.
She has been singing Peruvian Huaynos music since she was 4, and she is 11 now.
She is in sixth grade and lives with her father, Maximo, who works as a taxi driver, and her mother, Domitila, in Santa Rosa.
Estrella sings in school activities and in the community, and she wants to take her art to a professional level.
She practices at home and wears a special costume, which is very important to her because it is a way to identify herself.
In September 2011, all her costumes were stolen and she was not able to perform any more, but thanks to the sponsorship program, her family saved enough money through their sponsorship benefits to buy the costumes she wears now.
Estrella is happy and very thankful to CFCA, for this makes her dream of being a singer come true.

Ah, the beer belly, few physical features on a man have the power to command such respect/disgust as this testament to the glory of hops and excess. Forget the fact, that these men may no longer be able to see their own sex organs or move at a pace faster than 1 mph. What they lack in overall health, they make up for in commitment and dedication – a dedication to beer.
In some countries this is considered torture, but here it's just the 8th beer on a Friday night
It's like that creature from the movie The Blob slithered over a barber shop floor
A team is only as strong as its weakest player, and that player was identified in 0.2 seconds
It was a proud day when Jack reached his dream of turning his gut into his own bar table
Some people practice yoga, others have their own way of balance and meditation
Overalls just aren't casual enough. Way to go and take them to the next level, bud
Rubbing his belly won't bring luck, but it will bring beer sweats
Forget the six pack, that gut has enough room for a full case tattoo
This guy looks confused because: A) He's out of beer B) Attractive women aren't dry heaving at the sight of him C) He just sh%$ his pants
3 guts, 6 DUIs, 5 divorces, 2 liver transplants, but only 1 love – beer
This why you'll never see Jack Black hosting the Oscars
This guy's gut is a bomb waiting to explode with the next can of Miller
Hey, kids, now you can collect the entire collection of beer belly trading cards!
Collect the international versions to show friends how cultured you are
He enjoys old world classics, like Shakespeare and a good buzz during a witch burning
Having a beer gut doesn't mean you can't class it up with some brandy now and then
The truffle shuffle will forever be a crowd pleaser
Somewhere in the vicinity of this family cookout is a horrified teenage girl
"Big Macs and Colt 45 for life, bitches!"
If you value your life, you'll get out of his way when he's thirsty
For more awesomeness check out the archives.

Wasted Space Begets Beauty: Rozsa Art Gallery Opens Monday, September 28
September 25, 2009—
What were once storage rooms and empty space has been transformed into something beautiful.
Thanks to the estate of Eileen J. Niva '71, the lower level of the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts now contains a gallery to feature various artists, and if its first showing is any indication, the Keweenaw just got a great, new artistic venue.
"The Dancer Within" is a presentation of photos by Rose Eichenbaum, and they are breathtaking.
"The idea was to feature the national and international artists that might not normally get seen in the area," says Niki Belkowski, graphic designer and marketing coordinator for the Rozsa. "We don't want to compete or take away from local galleries, so we want to bring in different kinds of stuff." Local artists, too, may be featured in the future, she says.
Friday afternoon, workers were applying finishing touches to the lighting and displays as white-gloved students were painstakingly cleaning off all the glass covering the photos.
"Let's Dance," by David Bowie came on the radio, as we were touring the exhibit.
"I didn't plan that," laughs Belkowski in the purple-tinged concrete and metallic space. The gallery has a very modern feel, in concert with the rest of the Rozsa.
And the photos feel right at home, too, spanning decades of work from black and white to color. You'll recognize images of Gregory Hines, Ann-Margaret, George Balanchine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and the cast of Cats, to drop a few names.
The show is free and is part of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. The art gallery is open from noon to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on evenings when there is an event at the center. The Eichenbaum exhibit runs until Sunday, Nov. 22.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Leave it to Martha Stewart to come up with a delicious, simple and healthy Blueberry Dog Biscuit recipe that won't leave your dog feeling blue. Sushi & Espy were so excited that we had to share the recipe with our paw pals. No worries, eating to many of these will not transform your dog into a giant blueberry like Violet in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Blueberries are a super-fruit for that super-dog in your life, a great source of antioxidants, good for the heart & vision, rich in Vitamin C and bursting with nutrients. The great thing is that they aren't toxic to dogs, because remember not all human foods are safe for your dog to snack on. So bakers get cracking those eggs!
Makes about 30
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 2 1/2 cups quinoa flour
- 3/4 cup flax meal
- 1/2 cup frozen, organic, unsweetened blueberries
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large egg
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients with 1 cup water to form a dough. Roll out mixture between two sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick; remove plastic wrap and cut out biscuits with a 3 1/2-inch bone-shaped cookie cutter. Reroll scraps and continue cutting out biscuits.
- Space biscuits 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until nicely browned and firm.
- Transfer biscuits to a wire rack. Turn off oven and place biscuits on wire rack in oven overnight. Remove from oven and store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
*** If your dog is on a special diet always check with your vet about which foods are appropriate & safe.

Four decades ago, the first National Wildlife Photo Contest launched with one theme—the effects of pollution on wildlife—and a very grim grand prize winner: an image of a dead cormorant on a beach. Since then, the annual contest has grown exponentially. This year, nearly 50,000 images were entered in seven categories and in three divisions, Amateur, Professional and Youth. Through all these changes, one thing remains constant: the power of photography to connect people—both photographers and viewers—with wildlife and the outdoors. Since 1971, the contest has celebrated this connection. Winners are selected on the basis of originality, execution and technical excellence. We think you'll agree that this year's images are a diverse and impressive bunch. The 2010 grand-prize winners, along with a selection of first- and second-place finishers, appear below.
This dramatic scene from Botswana's Nxai Pan National Park looks like the end for this zebra, which suffered from a limp, according to the photographer. But Bryan says that while the lioness managed to leap onto the back of her prey, she was immediately knocked off by a swift kick from the wounded zebra, which then escaped.
Huang's arresting image is a tribute to his perseverance: Three years ago, he built a photo blind on the bank of a pond in a local wildlife refuge. He has since spent countless hours photographing the birds—particularly common kingfishers—that feed there. The photographer "tried many ways and thousands of times" before he successfully made this photo using a fast shutter speed and manual focus.
On a rainy-day walk through Ohio's Whetstone Park, Svoboda photographed her sister looking at tadpoles swimming in a small pool of water. The image captures the contrast between the lavender umbrella, dress and flowers and the brilliant green foliage with an almost painterly composition.
Exhausted from a previous night spent photographing nearby Bryce Canyon, Johnson and his wife nonetheless stayed up until 3 a.m. to capture this spectacular image of the Milky Way over the cliffs of Zion National Park—a long exposure made even more challenging by high wind.
Ever get the feeling you're being watched? Leeson, who had been photographing the goat on the far right in Glacier National Park, stepped back to switch lenses, then noticed this funny scene: A photographer focuses on one goat as another keeps an eye on him from above.
Levine, who maintains multiple hummingbird feeders outside her house, reports that the birds that visit, including the rufous hummingbirds in the foreground, are "gorgeous and sweet but tough—they fight for a spot." Between July and September, as many as 15 hummers of several different species may gather at a single feeder.
Like a scene from a horror film, this image of a menacing oil blob slowly approaching the white sands of an Alabama beach has the power to shock even a viewer who has seen dozens of photos from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Tourists and cheery beach umbrellas only emphasize the beach's defenselessness. Mitchell made this photo last summer from the roof of a beachfront building, shooting through his sunglasses to diminish the glare.
This transient waterfall in Yosemite Valley is water, not flame. But when backlit by the setting sun, it "looks like flowing lava," says Anon, who adds that he was "incredibly lucky" also to capture a lone cloud floating through the frame.
This crystal-clear photo of a sunlit manatee was made, aptly, in Florida's Crystal River. Fleetham made a quick visit last winter to look for the manatees that flock to the region during cold snaps, lured by waters warmed by local hot springs. The photographer used a strobe to illuminate the endangered mammal from beneath; the next photo in the series is nearly identical, says Fleetham, but shows the animal only in silhouette.
On a visit to South Dakota's Badlands National Park, 14-year-old Sulik was stunned to spot a bobcat hunting prairie dogs. After hours of waiting, watching and keeping his distance, Sulik tracked the cat back to her den—and her young family. "My favorite part of this image is the interaction between the mother (left) and her cubs," he says.
Only moments earlier, this baby orangutan in Borneo, Indonesia, was racing around the forest, swinging from trees and being "extremely independent," says Tarris. Here, the youngster takes a short break to snuggle with its mother, gently touching her lip with its finger.
On a visit to Laredo, Texas, Fast spotted these scissor-tailed flycatchers engaged in what appears to be a Broadway duet—wings spread, mouths wide-open in song. "Then, as quickly as it started, it was over and I never saw them display again," he says.
This gemlike damselfly, known as a Formosan jewelwing, uses its wings to communicate with potential mates as it perches at the water's surface, says Petersburger. Reflected in water, in a Taiwan rain forest, the insect creates a nearly abstract image.
Baya weavers are very social birds, often living in colonies. Still, this bird chain puzzled even the photographer, who came upon the scene not far from his home. He could only guess at the animals' motivation: "Perhaps the two females are competing for the same nest, or perhaps one of the females was trying to lay eggs in another nest and is being dissuaded by the male and female that 'own' the nest," he surmises. Either way, it makes for a dramatic close-up.
One cold, overcast February day in southeastern Tennessee, Hill discovered several spotted salamanders in and around a small pond. He took advantage of their "cooperative" nature, he says, and was able to make this striking environmental portrait.
Doest spent two summers camped out near an Arctic fox den in Svalbard, Norway, photographing his "favorite animals." On his second visit, he captured this rare moment: "I will never forget the rush of adrenaline that went through my veins when this mother started nursing her babies right in front of me," he says.

When I was still in graduate school, doing my internship in professional counseling psychology, one of my supervisors gave me some advice. She told me that I would need to toughen up if I was going to survive working in the field of psychology. She tried to prepare me for the best and the worst, saying,
"Nikki, you are going to see and hear some upsetting and terrible things. You must prepare for the worst, but never stop hoping for the best."
"The worst what?" I asked her naively.
'The worst of everything," she answered.
Whoa…what was SHE talking about?
A week later, during a clinical training, I heard the worst thing I had ever heard. And then I heard worse than that worst and so on and so on and so on. I was so naïve! Could I do this job? Could I hear these stories and work with these broken, abused people without breaking down emotionally?
How did I know so little about the world?
How in was I going to be able to help these people heal?
Thank heavens I had good supervision and support during my internship. The abstract concepts I had learned in graduate school didn't help me once I was out in the real world working with clients. When a schizophrenic teenager is jabbering word salad while slicing her thighs with the gleaming pinpoint of her geometry compass because Joey from New Kids on the Block told her to, it's not a good time to try to engage her in cognitive restructuring exercises.
My time as a therapist doing direct care wasn't always that dangerous, but it was always intense. There are so many people struggling, suffering, and feeling alone, helpless, angry and afraid. I loved and hated working as a therapist. It was the best and the worst. Charles Bukowski's poem – one of my all time favorites – describes the experience and the feelings.
May is Mental Health month. I say that it will be a month of madness on my blog, because much like the NCAA playoffs in March, the only thing that I can predict is that it's going to be unpredictable! I will use terms/words that aren't politically correct. Words like madness, crazy, loco, nuts, etc. If you don't have a sense of humor or a basic understanding of the tone of my blog, or at the bare minimum, an ability to avoid taking everything personally and feeling hurt when the wind blows in your general direction, I suggest you take the month off Moms Who Drink And Swear and return in June.
This month, I have to write about this stuff because...
"If something burns your soul with purpose and desire, it's your duty to be reduced to ashes by it. Any other form of existence will be yet another dull book in the library of life." ~Charles Bukowski
My soul burns. I want you to learn. I want to learn more. I want the stigma gone! I want people to get the help they need without being afraid to do so. I want people to know how to get help, how to help - I want, I want, I want! Helping people learn to survive and thrive despite having mental illness is my passion. 'Tis my calling, my purpose, my desire.
My hope is that this month will prove to be an interesting and interactive experience! I will be writing blogs and short stores about mental health and mental illness. I will be sharing blogs written by others and responding to emails I receive and conversations on the Moms Who Drink And Swear™ Facebook page with blogs and links to resources. So many people have reached out and want to share their stories.
I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have. There's no way I can cover everything. The only thing I can promise is that when I share information, it will be from the most valid and reliable resources I can find. Again, I can't stress enough that I cannot cover everything. I hope to spark your interest in the topic of mental health, mental illness and overall wellness as it relates to mental health enough to get you doing some work on your own.
Learn! Listen! Laugh!
There is so much misinformation, so much dangerous, wonky nonsense on the web.
So many things affect our mental health – genetics, epigenetics, environment, experience, illness, etc. The brain is the wild west of the human body. The mind-body connection is still full of mystery, much in part because we are all so unique.
And so will this month of May's musings about mental health. Hope you'll be a part of it, whether you lurk and learn or actively participate!

text: Hello people out there! Haha! I have been in this forum since last year but I was not active at the beginning of this year because of some stuff that has been happening such as moving house and etc. Anyway I am 16 this year and will be having a major exam soon (GCE O'Level), so I just want to know if anybody out there have any tips on how to cope with exam stress, how to study smart, what food should I take for energy boost and so on. I really want to do well because of my parents and I had to let go some of the things just to do so like going out with my friends, break a friendship with one of my friend, rejected 2 guys, drop one subject and so on. But one thing about me is, everytime I come back from school, I want to sleep. After I sleep, I will watch tv. I will always be so tired after school that I would not have any energy or mood to study. I really hope that I will do well because I want to have a good job when I get older to support my parents. Anyway, I'm a bit worried now that prelims will be during fasting month. I just hope that at least I get a decent grade for my prelims. So, if you all have anything, just tell me, it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Papi could return to lineup by middle of April
NEW YORK -- Slugger David Ortiz is starting to turn a corner in his rehab from a right Achilles' heel injury, and he could be back in the Red Sox's lineup in a couple of weeks.
"We're still hopeful of a target timeframe of sometime middle, third week of April," said manager John Farrell.
Ortiz will fly back to Fort Myers, Fla., on Thursday to continue his exercises there and hopes to play in an extended spring training game there.
Not long after, Ortiz should start an official rehab assignment for Triple-A Pawtucket.
"In talking with David, I think he'd feel comfortable with 25, 30 at-bats, likely to be taking place at Pawtucket," Farrell said. "When that rehab assignment begins remains to be seen."
Ortiz originally injured his Achilles tendon on July 20. Ortiz made a one-game comeback on Aug. 24, but he aggravated the injury and hasn't played since.

Myocardial Protection With Perhexiline in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (HYPER)

- How to Read a Study Record
Open-heart surgery causes injury of the heart muscle. Although this is usually mild, temporary and reversible, if it is severe it can endanger life and require additional high cost care. During surgery, techniques are used to protect the heart from injury, but these remain imperfect. Patients with a thickened wall of the heart (left ventricular hypertrophy) may be at greater risk. This study assesses the effect of facilitating sugar metabolism (a more efficient fuel) by the heart muscle using the drug Perhexiline given before the operation.
This treatment has a sound experimental basis for improving outcome. If this improvement is confirmed surgical results could be improved. The investigators will be studying heart function, heart muscle energy stores and chemicals which quantify the amount of heart muscle injury. The investigators' hypothesis is that Perhexiline will improve the protection of the heart by decreasing damage that may occur during heart surgery.

Lebanese singer Alissa has denied circulating rumors that she is romantically involved with a prominent businessman, and that she was given an expensive diamond watch as a gift from him after she agreed to hold three private concerts in Switzerland next month.
Alissa said that she had bought the diamond watch for herself from a department store in Switzerland, and has become accustomed to hearing such rumors about romantic relationships with rich Arab businessman. The singer noted that she does not bother herself with commenting on such rumors in order not to give them more importance than they deserve.
Alissa recently gave two concerts in Casablanca, both in hotel ballrooms before a crowd of 1000, a dramatic shift from her performance last year that drew over 100,000 fans. Tickets prices started at US$50 US dollars, and it was reported that Alissa arrived an hour late to the concert.
The singer declined interviews with the Moroccan media, giving her performances little coverage and fueling negative rumors, although female fans remained loyal to the star attending in greater numbers.
On another note, head of the 'Egyptian Musician Association,' Hassan Abu Sou'od, has threatened to ban Alissa, along with Egyptian singers Dolly Shahin and Jad Shweiri from performing in Egypt.
The threat was made after the three singers held a private wedding concert and did not pay the required fees to the association, around 10 thousand Egyptian pounds per singer.
Abu Sou'od said the three will not be permitted to hold any performance in Egypt until they pay the fees. Alissa received US$35,000, Dolly US$25,000, and Jad US$30,000 for their performance.

Interview By: Armando Garcia
Wardrobe: Bikinis Provided By Kandy-Shop
Girls: I think the first thing that men (and a few women) might want to know is… are you single?
Jessenia: Yes, I am.
Girls: What's your favorite place to eat in your hometown?
Jessenia: There is this place called Van Gogh's Ear Café, they have the best Chicken Portobello in the world.
Girls: Does modeling pay the bills for you?
Jessenia: No, actually what pays the bills is my employment as an LPN Nurse. I work in an ER. Actually the Psychiatric section of the ER.
Girls: Wow, that sounds like an interesting as well as challenging job. Anything crazy ever happen while on the job?
Jessenia: Not to long ago I got socked in the face. The patient was apparently bi-polar and while I was getting her a blanket, she just straight out punched me.
Girls: Damn! Socked you huh. Did it hurt?
Jessenia: Ya, but I took it like a champ you could say.
Girls: As we all can see, you seem to have modeling down pretty good. What other talents do you have?
Jessenia: I'm into acting. I have done some lead roles in music videos, and I recently did a cameo in a film and also did a narrative short film.
Girls: Let's switch gears and get into the wild side of Jessenia Vice. Guys or Girls?
Jessenia: I have actually done the whole bi-sexual thing, and it seems that girls are a little to crazy and emotional for me. I prefer men.
Girls: Turn-ons in the bedroom?
Jessenia: I'm a sucker for massages. Give me a good massage and I'm all yours!
Girls: Craziest place you have ever done it?
Jessenia: I would have to say at an oil refinery on top of those big round oil containers.
Girls: What is your ritual after doing the deed?
Jessenia: I am all about pleasing, so I like to rub his head and put him to sleep.
Girls: How do people contact you for bookings?
Jessenia: email@example.com
Girls: Looks like our time is up here! I also wanted to add that readers should look you up on YouTube and watch your Nintendo Wii video. It's very nice I must say! Is there anything you would like to let the world know before you go?
Jessenia: Even though I won the Kim Kardashian look-a-like contest on the Tyra Show, I also want everyone to know that I look like Jessenia Vice and not Kim. I also want to thank Lowrider Girls for this opportunity.

Enter for a Chance to Win the Dog Condo!
Remember the dog house designs you voted on during our People's Choice program? Anitra Mecadon, an avid dog lover and animal rescue and no-kill shelter advocate, and her Mega Dens crew built both!
The winning Dog Barn design is a fixture at Blog Cabin 2012. The Dog Condo was donated by DIY Network and the Petco Foundation to the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, an organization that provides a safe haven for over 5,500 sick, homeless and abused animals in the greater Androscoggin area per year. The condo features a removable roof, an outdoor patio and a plexiglass sunroom and comes complete with pet supplies courtesy of Petco and signed autographs by Anitra and her crew.
Even more exciting news? The Dog Condo will be raffled off during the 16th Annual Strutt Your Mutt Dog Walk and Pet Festival on Saturday, September 15, 2012, at Petco in Auburn. All proceeds from the raffle will directly benefit the Humane Society. Raffle tickets are available for $5 each or three for $10 and can be purchased at the Humane Society or printed off their web site at SavingPetsInMaine.org.
"It is an honor to be part of this truly unique experience; not only unique for our shelter but for the residents of Maine," says Steven Dostie, executive director of the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society. "We are very grateful to Anitra and her Mega Dens crew for donating their time and talent to benefit our cause. We hope the community shares in our excitement and this special opportunity to be part of something extraordinary!"
"Blog Cabin was the perfect opportunity for us to have a positive impact on a local level and a great way to give back to Maine and say thank you! I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to design and build a doggie condo to donate to the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society," says Anitra. "Now I don't know about you, but when I think of Maine, I think of lobster and barns. What you are seeing is my modern interpretation of a barn, and yes, it is lobster red. I can't lie to you. I love the finished product so much I wanted to keep it. Whoever ends up with it is going to be one lucky pup!"

text: I think we can all agree that Baron is some good and a lot of bad, but Point Guard play last year was appalling and I think we've definately got the cap room to take the salary hit for what I think, unfortunately is a big up grade at point guard slot. I will admit I'm going through a phase where I think Varejao is perfect addition to our roster and I think we can get a package together in taking Baron's Salary to get him. What I do know is DC was awful and we've got no one else that's even close to being a starting PG in this league.

Express Scripts To Lay Off 290 Ohio Employees
Express Scripts plans to cut 290 jobs at its Columbus facility as part of a national staff reduction.
The positions represent about 8 percent of the prescription-plan manager's Ohio workforce.
All told, the St. Louis-based company plans to eliminate 1,890 of about 29,000 employees nationally through a combination of staff reductions and buyouts.
The announcement, which came last week, followed release of first-quarter earnings that fell 12 percent, to $328 million from $373 million a year earlier.
Spokesman Brian Henry said business operations have been re-evaluated after a merger two years ago and loss of a major client.
Express Scripts runs prescription-drug plans for employers, insurers and others. It processes mail-order prescriptions and handles billing for prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies. It filled 320 million prescriptions in the first quarter.

Just starting to study Buddhism. For years I've had my own beliefs about religions and the space around us. I've been carefully approaching Buddhism as a rational way of putting things in context over the last few years. I'm very sure now and ready to learn all I can. I hope to find good guidance here.
Currently, I'm about half way through "The Tibetan Book of Life and Death". Listened to many web casts by the Dalai Lama and now I find myself with a tremendous thirst for more knowledge.

Product features
Vorwerk Forma is a high-quality carpet collection for residential as well as commercial use. This premium collection is part of the Projection range by Vorwerk, a popular choice all over the world. The colour palette covers various shades of blue, green and grey and also offers some bright designs to create a striking contrast. The colours in this collection are ideal for homes and commercial spaces, as they are homely and elegant at the same time. The particularly dense velour surface makes for an extremely resilient carpet. Being very robust, this broadloom is suitable for heavy commercial use (Wear Class 33), making it the ideal choice for busy offices, modern showrooms and cosy hotel rooms. This collection also is perfect for people suffering from allergies, as it succeeds in reducing toxic concentrations of fine dust in the air by more than 50 % in comparison to hard flooring. With a pile height of 4.2 mm, this flooring solution is soft and comfortable, while retaining its incredible resilience. Due to its high quality, this Vorwerk carpet is suitable for underfloor heating, which contributes a great deal towards a homely atmosphere in hotel rooms. If you are looking for a new floor for your (home) office, you will be pleased to know that Vorwerk Forma has anti-static properties and features an impact sound insulation (27 dB), which quietens noise from adjacent rooms. As a renowned German company with more than 130 years of experience in carpet making, Vorwerk has an eco-friendly mindset, which is why Forma carpet (just like other collection in the Vorwerk Projection range) is very low in emissions (A+) and is awarded numerous international eco-certificates (e.g. GuT and the CRI Green Label Plus).

If you've ever wanted to share the view seen through your telescope with a few friends or family members, you're in luck! The affordable Orion StarShoot Video Eyepiece Camera II lets you do just that. Now you can easily view what you see in your telescope on your TV screen or camcorder! The Video Eyepiece Camera II sends live images of the Moon, bright planets, Sun (solar filter required), and terrestrial subjects as seen through the telescope to a TV set, camcorder, or any other device with an RCA video input. Now the whole family, classroom, or astronomical society can enjoy the view right along with you, as if you were all looking through the same telescope.
The StarShoot Video Eyepiece Camera II is compatible with any telescope equipped with a 1.25" focuser, or a 2" focuser with a 2"-to- 1.25" step-down adapter. While a telescope attached to a tracking motor-equipped mount will provide the best results for nighttime use, even non-motorized telescopes like Dobsonian reflectors work well with this petite performer. During daylight hours, the StarShoot Video Eyepiece can add crowd-pleasing performance to any telescope outfitted for terrestrial use. Telescopic views of birds, wildlife, and scenery can be seen and enjoyed on your TV screen.
This handy video camera provides an inexpensive entry into astrophotography. The StarShoot Video Eyepiece Camera II features a CMOS sensor chip with 8-bit output and RGB 24-bit color resolution. The sensor features 720x480 resolution, which is a considerable step-up compared to our original model. The CMOS sensor's small 5.6µm x 5.6µm pixel size accurately detects fine details. While not sensitive enough to capture images of faint deep space objects, the Video Eyepiece enables you to share telescopic views of brighter objects within our solar system like the Moon and brighter planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
The 1.25" nosepiece is threaded for use with any Orion 1.25" eyepiece filter, so you can enhance your view to your liking by using a Moon filter, light pollution filter, color planetary filters, and more (filters sold separately). You can also use our StarShoot 0.5x Focal Reducer (sold separately) if you'd like to view a wider area.
The StarShoot Video Eyepiece Camera II is powered by the included AC-to-DC adapter.
With an Orion StarShoot Video Eyepiece you can start enjoying the night sky and daytime terrestrial views through your TV!
The StarShoot Video Eyepiece is compatible with the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard only, which is used throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America (excluding Brazil and Argentina), Burma, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Republic of the Philippines, and many Pacific island nations and territories.
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

A trailer in the Valley Oaks Mobile Home Park on Valley Road burned completely the night of November 7. Although firefighters could not save the trailer, they prevented flames from spreading to nearby residences.
The Little Lake Fire Department responded to the call at 10:34 p.m. Thursday. When firefighters arrived, the trailer was between 60 and 70 percent consumed by flames, fire officials say. The flames were so intense firefighters were concerned the blaze could spread to nearby trailers and called for mutual aid from the Brooktrails Fire Department.
The original trailer was a complete loss, but firefighters stemmed the spread of the conflagration and nearby units were merely singed.
Fire crews did not clear the scene until just after 2 a.m.
The cause of the fire appears accidental, according to fire department sources, although the precise cause is still under investigation. The homeowners apparently left home to go into town and the trailer was on fire when they returned.
A family dog was still missing as of last week, according to a fire department source, but a window had been left open and family members remain hopeful it escaped in time.

text: I spent plenty of time in one of my lectures yesterday thinking how we could work out this offseason and draft. If we don't resign Hartline, expect us to go after and get Wallace as $10mil a season. If we do sign Hartline, expect Greg Jennings for the two different styles of play. I personally don't expect us to bring back Hartline if he's asking for $5-6 million a season. He's done nothing to warrant that kinda money. He had what? 3 TD's in 3 years. BYE. I also don't expect Bush, Long, or Smith to be back. Bush I would consider but doesn't seem likely. Starks ($6 p/y) , Clemons ($2.5 p/y), and Fasano ($2 p/y) will be back....Results in $35.5 million remaining. Free Agent signings: Mike Wallace: 5 year, $52 million: numerous times Hartline was caught (or almost caught from behind) because of his slight lack of elite speed. Numerous times Hartline fell a few feet short of catching deep TD passes (which would've warranted the money he wants). With Mike Wallace you get the elite speed to blow the top off defenses and allow our other receivers to move around). Having Wallace speed would've been a difference maker in so many games. Brent Grimes or Keenan Lewis 4 years, 28 million: either would be great for our team. Grimes provides leadership but is older. Lewis was fantastic in 2012. Dustin Keller: 4 years, $12 million: destroyed us constantly. Bring him in. Adam Levitre 5 years, $30 million: Heard really good things about him. Would be great to have him as our RG. Free Agents totals: Roughly $26 million. $9 million remaining. Draft: With no trades: 12th: Jonathan Banks CB MISS STATE 2A: Alex Okafor DE/ OLB ....(Or Eifert or Ertz for Grooming) 2B: Quinton Patton/ Aaron Dobson/ Markus Wheaton...take your pick. 3A: TJ McDonald Safety. I like Clemons but bring the kid in and get some depth back there. 3B: Ryan Swope: Tannehill loses his buddy in Hartline but gets another familiar WR with Swope.

Calder, Petra and Tommy (Chasing Vermeer, The Wright 3) are back with another puzzling art mystery. Now in 7th grade, the three go with their class to see an exhibit of Alexander Calder's mobiles at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Shortly after the field trip, Calder and his Dad take a trip to England and stay in a tiny village well known for its giant garden maze. The maze is life-size, and easy to get lost in, like the maze in the last challenge in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. To Calder's surprise, the village also has a newly installed Alexander Calder sculpture in the town square. Many people living in the village are angry about the new sculpture, some villagers even seem angry at Calder for sharing the artist's name. The anger turns to fear, however, when the sculpture, and Calder, both disappear without a trace. Petra and Tommy are flown to England to try to help Calder's dad and the police figure out what happened to Calder. Is he lost in the maze, or something worse? Try to solve the puzzle and find the clues with Tommy and Petra. The illustrator hid puzzles in the pictures again – see if you can solve those too! Author: Blue Balliett Illustrator: Brett Helquist

Wilson disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissues. The excess copper damages the liver and nervous system.
Wilson's disease; Hepatolenticular degeneration
Wilson disease is a rare inherited disorder. If both parents carry an abnormal gene for Wilson disease, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the child will have the disorder.
Wilson disease causes the body to take in and keep too much copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys, and eyes. The copper deposits cause tissue damage, tissue death, and scarring, which causes the affected organs to stop working correctly.
This condition is most common in eastern Europeans, Sicilians, and southern Italians, but it may occur in any group. Wilson disease typically appears in people under 40 years old. In children, the symptoms begin to show by age 4.
A slit-lamp eye examination may show:
A physical examination may show signs of:
Lab tests may include:
If there are liver problems, lab tests may find:
Other tests may include:
The gene that causes Wilson disease has been found. It is called ATP7B. DNA testing is available for this gene. Talk to your health care provider or a genetic counselor if you would like to have gene testing performed.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of copper in the tissues. This is done by a procedure called chelation -- certain medications can bind to copper and help remove it through the kidneys or gut. Treatment must be lifelong.
The following medications may be used:
Vitamin E supplements may also be used.
Sometimes, medications that chelate copper (especially penicillamine) can affect the function of the brain and nervous system (neurological function). Other medications under investigation may bind copper without affecting neurological function.
A low-copper diet may also be recommended. Foods to avoid include:
You may want to drink distilled water because most tap water flows through copper pipes. Avoid using copper cooking utensils.
Symptoms may be treated with exercise or physical therapy. People who are confused or unable to care for themselves may need special protective measures.

Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Wilson disease. Call a genetic counselor if you have a history of Wilson disease in your family and you are planning to have children.
Genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of Wilson disease.
