Startling, stunning and shocking! Those are three words I heard constantly as Minnesotans have started to discuss a new federal report.
It shows Minnesota is tied with several other states, ranking 29th in the United States for high school graduation. Our overall rate was 77 percent. Iowa ranked first with 88 percent. Wisconsin and Vermont tied for second. They graduated 87 percent on time.
We're used to thinking of ourselves as in the top four or five. Not true now, according to the latest figures published by the U.S. Department of Education. They showed the percentage of students, overall, and broken into various categories, for youngsters who entered high school four years in the school year 2007–08 and should have graduated four years later, in the 2010–11 school year.
One of the most surprising statistics involves white students. Minnesota is tied with Arkansas and Maine for 24th. Eighty-four percent of our white students graduated from high school in four years. Many others, including our neighbors, did better. South Dakota's white student graduation rate was 89 percent. Iowa and North Dakota had 90 percent. Wisconsin's four-year graduation rate for white students was 91 percent.
Many states also are doing better in graduating students of color. Minnesota has one of the nation's largest gaps between white and African-American, white and Hispanic/Latino, and white and American Indian/Native American students. In Minnesota, only 42 percent of Native American youngsters, 49 percent of African-American and 51 percent of Hispanic/Latino students graduated in four years. Wisconsin reported 75 percent of Native American students, 64 percent of African-American, and 72 percent of Hispanic/Latino students graduate on time.
Forty-five states have higher graduation rates of African-American students than Minnesota.
Seventy-two percent of Minnesota's Asian-Pacific students graduated in four years. That also is a lower figure than in many other states, but the gap is not nearly as wide as for other racial groups.
Enough numbers, right? You can look at the report for yourself here: http://www2.ed.gov/documents/press-releases/state-2010-11-graduation-rate-data.pdf.
The U.S. Department of Education says the statistics are based on data provided by state departments of education and that the numbers are preliminary. Perhaps there will be adjustments. Nevertheless, we can't be complacent.
These statistics don't tell us what to do. They do suggest an urgent need to examine what we are doing. That does not mean we should be getting into a blame/shame game. Whether a person advocates more money, high quality early childhood, extended school year, chartered public schools, character education, greater use of technology and personalized learning, more respect for educators, etc., I think this is not a time for finger pointing. It's a time for careful pondering. What are the most important steps forward?
Research and experience do not suggest any single solution. In coming weeks, I'll discuss possible priorities for the 2013 Minnesota Legislature, for community groups, educators, unions, families, students and others who care about the state's future. But for today, I'd urge readers to consider these statistics. — Joe Nathan (Editor's note: Nathan is formerly a Minnesota public school teacher and administrator.

Defeat brings best out of Serena's split personality
The women's final is not until Saturday, but one thing seemed certain to be settled before then. We would find out the life expectancy of a linesman who foot-faults a wounded Serena Williams not long after the American had done to a tennis racquet what Julia Gillard once did to Tony Abbott during question time.
Would there be profanity? Ritual disembowelment? The type of ill-tempered implosion that blighted Williams's defeat by Samantha Stosur in the 2011 US Open final?
Mercifully, none of the above. After an agonising quarter-final defeat to her young countrywoman Sloane Stephens, there was just a perfunctory wave from a woman who had more often performed a victory jig on Rod Laver Arena.
So to the press conference. A place where Williams has snarled and denied when force-fed a bitter defeat. Where she would make it clear she had never been beaten by an opponent, and only ever suffered at her own hand.
This time she might have done so with justification. The swollen ankle upon which she had played a doubles match the previous day. The back that had locked in training, and which flared when she stopped short chasing down a drop shot.
''I couldn't rotate that much,'' Williams said. If only she had John Inverarity in her corner.
So would Williams spit bile at her inquisitors? Bemoan her fate and, with a graceless wink and nudge, make it clear she remained unbeatable on her day? Would she sell Stephens short? Not a bit.
The injuries? ''I think at this stage, everyone in the locker room has something wrong with them,'' Williams said. Rather than bemoan her fate, it was only because her true feelings - ''This is the worst fortnight of my life'' - had been captured by a court-side microphone that Williams revealed them.
Of Stephens, Williams said: ''My opponent played well and was able to do a good job.'' Which, by previous grudging standards, is tantamount to Williams nominating her conqueror for WTA player of the year.
Of her unexpected departure, Williams was resigned rather than grim. When she misunderstood a question about retirement - Williams thought the reporter meant her career, not the match - she laughed. When reminded she smashed a racquet, Williams admitted she smiled when the job was done. In the past, she might have claimed the racquet had been struck by a laser from space.
When the press conference convener said the next question would be ''the last in English'', Williams shot back ''I don't take foreign questions.'' Although those who have heard her talk acting, puppies and interior-decorating might beg to differ.
From less competitive athletes, such relatively sanguine responses might have seemed the self-effacing end to a disappointing day. But from Williams, it was pleasantly revealing.
We have come to respect Williams for her performances after 15 grand slam titles, and even consider her case in the debate about the greatest female player ever. But in defeat, she has seldom been easy to like. Perhaps because the standards Williams sets herself mitigated against the acceptance, or tolerance, of defeat. This was a more worthy, more dignified figure.
Despite Williams's obvious discomfort, the praise she gave Stephens was deserved. To the 19-year-old, Williams had once been a poster on a bedroom wall. Now she was a wounded prey. In such circumstances, many would-be hunters freeze. Stephens suffered a few self-doubts near the end of the second set, but steeled herself and seized her chance.
''I'll put a poster of myself [on the wall] now,'' said Stephens, after altering the tournament's seemingly certain destiny - the anticipated final showdown between Williams and Maria Sharapova. Instead, Stephens will play world No.1 Victoria Azarenka in Thursday's semi-final.
And Williams? She will leave a grand slam she rated the worst of her life. But one where she left an unexpectedly pleasant mark.

Iranian official says petrol consumption too high
Meanwhile, Iran's daily import of petrol is six million liters, press reports said yesterday, and the average daily consumption of oil products 46 million liters, said Aqa Babaei, " a deputy oil minister and director of the national oil products distribution company.
Babaei said that such a level of consumption behavior is not sustainable and noted that Iran, with a population of little over 60 million, consumes the same amount of petrol as in India with more than a billion people.
Iran's state-owned fuel production and distribution companies use 9,000 tanker trucks and four ships to supply 180 million liters of oil products across the county on a daily basis.
As a major crude oil exporter, the country still imports petrol despite the fact that new refineries opened after the end of the war with Iraq. However, the local refineries are still incapable of meeting growing demand. – (Albawaba-MEBG)

This is probably my least favorite out of the 3 palettes but I still use it quite a bit! My favorite shades out of this palette are: Envious Erin (a creamy shimmer great for brow highlight), Safe Bet Annette (frosty pink, for the light part of a gradient to a dark pink or red), and the whole bottom row (the teal-y blue shade is super pigmented and bright, I love deep purples and I finally own a black shade!) Overall, this is a great deal, I'd stick with the first 2 volumes but if you score the 3 for 1 on theBalm's website, its worth it. All of them have a large mirror on the side opposite to the shadows and the pots seem to last forever! I haven't had a crumbling problem with these either despite all the traveling they've done.

I travel with all 3 volumes of Shady Lady. I purchased mine through theBalm site when they had the 3 for 1. My favorite shade in this is Bossy Bobbi, it's a shimmery very pigmented teal blue, although I don't wear this shade a lot. I like to stick with neutrals and the combination of Mischevious Marissa (copper) & Devilish Danielle (peach) look amazing for everyday wear. I love the large mirror in the compact/palette.
By Budziak 4 years ago.
I purchased this twice; the first time I really wanted it, the second time, it came in a set with the other 2 Shady Lady palettes for a deal on theBalm website! (I think they do the deal once a yr so keep your eyes peeled for it!) I've used this one the most out of the three palettes. It has a good variety of shades neutrals (gorgeous!), greens, blues, pink & lavender. They're super smooth and don't crease if you use a primer. The only con is they're all shimmery but I love shimmery shadows :-)

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has slated the FIA's fuel-sensoring equipment that cost Daniel Ricciardo the runner-up spot in his home Australian Grand Prix as "immature" and "unreliable".
Horner was left seething at the FIA after Ricciardo was excluded from the final race result at Melbourne's Albert Park following an infringement of the new fuel regulations.
Red Bull immediately notified motor sport's governing body of their intention to appeal, due to be confirmed this week by the Austrian motor sport federation, under whose auspices the team operate.
On his debut for Red Bull, Ricciardo was naturally thrilled with his second place in front of his home crowd, crossing the line 24.5secs behind Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, and narrowly ahead of McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen.
With the arrival of the new 1.6-litre V6 turbo-charged engines, new rules state cars must start with a maximum 100 kilograms of fuel, as opposed to 140-150kg in previous years, and operate with a fuel-flow rate of no more than 100kg per hour.
Ricciardo's car was found to consistently exceed that rate, yet a decision was not confirmed by the FIA until over five hours after the race had concluded.
An angry Horner, describing himself as "extremely disappointed" with the FIA's verdict, added: "Through the appeal process it will be quite clear the car has conformed at all times with the regulations.
"These fuel-flow sensors that have been fitted by the FIA have proved problematic throughout the pit lane since the start of testing.
"It is immature technology, so it's impossible to rely 100 per cent on that sensor which has proven to be problematic in almost every session we have run in."
After removing the FIA sensor following issues in Friday practice, the team ultimately tried a replacement which failed in qualifying.
Come the start of the race the team opted to use their own internal fuel-flow model, albeit not one ratified by the FIA.
FIA race director Charlie Whiting claims Ricciardo would not have been excluded if Red Bull had complied with directives and the rules.
"We advised them after qualifying and five laps into the race to take the necessary steps to comply with the regulations," said Whiting.
"They chose to use their own calculations to show they complied. If they had followed the advice we gave them at the time, we would not have had a problem and they would not have been penalised.
"If their sensor was kaput then things would have been different.
"That happened with (Sergio) Perez's (Force India) car - the sensor broke - and they used their injection model with an offset and that was fine.
"It is a human thing because (Red Bull) had the ability to do what was needed to comply."
The feud that has overshadowed the start of the campaign will now go before a court of appeal hearing at the FIA headquarters in Paris once the appeal has been officially lodged.
Provisionally, pending the outcome of the appeal, McLaren have two in the top three as Jenson Button produced a strong run from 10th on the grid to finish behind Magnussen.
That result is all the more remarkable given McLaren failed to score a single podium last season for the first time in 33 years.
For the more illustrious team-mates of Rosberg and Ricciardo there was only misery as Lewis Hamilton and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel suffered technical issues that forced them out early.

"I want that starting job and I am sure Quinn is thinking the same thing," Wezensky said. "I am taking this year a lot more seriously."
It is a classic case of the seasoned veteran (Cook) trying to hold off the upstart youngster (Wezensky).
Cook started 12 games a season ago, including the Class 2A state championship game as Bishop Luers won its record-tying fourth consecutive title. For the year, he threw for 802 yards on 69-of-148 passing with six touchdowns and six interceptions.
Wezensky got the starting nod in a trio of games as a freshman last season while appearing in 11 contests overall. The 6-3 sophomore completed 30 of 68 passes for 413 yards with three touchdowns and two picks.
Entering training camp, both feel like they can make a case for themselves.
"I think after the playoffs last year (where) I took the team down to state and led us there, I feel like I am coming back as the returning starter," said the senior Cook. "Don't get me wrong, Noah is going to be a great QB, but for right now I am playing like it's my job."
After a summer with AWP on the 7-on-7 circuit where his recruitment blew up, Wezensky sees this fall as being one in which he can be atop the Knights' depth chart.
"Since last year, I have been getting more and more used to the position," Wezensky said. "From studying film and being more calm in the pocket … I feel like I am bringing it all together."
Despite the state title a year ago, it was a rocky campaign for the quarterback duo. Quinn began the season as the starter but gave way to Wezensky against Toledo Whitmer in the fourth game of the season.
Quinn re-emerged as the starter against Concordia Lutheran in Week 6 and never relinquished the position on the way to Lucas Oil Stadium.
"I think it was a good experience to go through that kind of adversity," Cook said. "But there are a lot of dynamics with two quarterbacks. Sometimes the team doesn't always know who to follow."
Wezensky is ready to turn his three-game audition from a year ago into a full-time role. He knows his ability to protect the football will go a long way toward who coach Kyle Lindsay chooses to start Week 1 against Snider.
"You see it in the NFL all the time with the QB battles and how they handle it," Wezensky said. "You just have to compete and never take a play off."
Lindsay said recently he would like to settle on one quarterback but "would not hesitate" to go with a shared role if one player does not emerge over the next few weeks.
But neither Cook nor Wezensky expects that to be the case.
"Both of us envision ourselves being the guy," Wezensky said.
Let the competition begin.

I have had this lovely little oak desk for quite some time.
I am certain that the top was refinished a while back and the base maintains it's original English Brown Oak finish. The piece is not signed or labeled so I was wondering if anyone might recognize the maker.

Working at Wyre Wheels lifts Angela's spirits
It was Angela's family that suggested she should do something to get her out of the house and raise her spirits; Angela had not left the house for a year! She was severely depressed, shied away from social situations and was unwilling to get involved in things.
Angela heard about Wyre Wheels two years ago while she was looking for a job. She spotted an opportunity to volunteer on the cycling project and decided to give it a try. At first she doubted she could do it, but with the support of the centre coordinator, she got through the DBS process and other paperwork. She realised early on that she really enjoyed the administrative tasks, and has undertaken this role from the start.
I love it, I absolutely love it, I don't know where I would be without this. Signing up to volunteer here was to get me out of the house and give me confidence''
Volunteer at Wyre Wheels
Volunteering at Wyre Wheels has led to many opportunities for Angela. She has attended leadership, first aid and disability awareness training courses, which have boosted her self-confidence and career ambitions as she 'would love to work with people with disabilities'. She has even had a couple of job interviews, she explained that "signing up to volunteer here was to get me out of the house and give me confidence."
Angela believes that being a part of Wyre Wheels has greatly improved her confidence in social settings. She said: "They are constantly happy so how can you be miserable when they are around." She is keen to be involved with the community stakeholder group and to help keep the project going. She is now involved in other activities at the centre and takes part in the multi-sport sessions as well.
Angela feels that she is much less depressed since she started to volunteer. Cycling UK Inclusive Cycling Officer, Jayne Roders says, "Getting out of the house and meeting people, each with their own things to overcome, provides a support network for Angela. She sees the smiles on the riders' faces showing how much they enjoy using the bikes and riding round with everyone else."
Angela now helps out with the cycling activities at the new Wednesday outdoor sessions and feels that it would be great to get more people to come along. "I love being part and parcel of the joy and seeing happy people taking part in the cycling – everyone gets to know everybody, it's like a social group. Otherwise they sit at home alone."
Getting involved with the inclusive cycling project has also had a positive impact on Angela's family life. Her daughters now also volunteer at the sports centre, and the family have started to do more things together as a result of her involvement and her improved mental health and self-confidence. "I am happier and come out and go for walks with them and do things, whereas before I wouldn't".

FAUX meat, allergen-free foods and yoghurt shops are tipped to be among the biggest food trends of 2013.
In its annual ''things to watch'' list, the global marketing group JWT is also predicting a move toward more food-sharing services and an increase in the number of vegan babies.
The authors of the list say meat substitutes are already gaining popularity as people cut back for budget, health or environmental reasons, and as faux meat products improve in taste.
The trend, spearheaded by two-year-old Dutch restaurant the Vegetarian Butcher, is now spreading across the globe. Spoon's Vegetarian Butcher in Sydney, which also delivers to Melbourne customers, sells a range of faux meat, including replacement chicken, sausage, burger and schnitzel products. The Footscray eatery Bo de Trai, run by Buddhist monks, also serves mock meat and seafood.
Allergen-free foods, which some predict could soon become as ubiquitous as gluten-free products, are also on the rise. With food allergies increasing worldwide, manufacturers are scrambling to produce foods free of allergens like diary, peanuts, egg, soy and shelfish.
Sharing home-cooked meals with strangers is also tipped to be a booming trend in 2013 with predictions that copycat versions of online meal co-op services Mealku in New York and Super Marmite in Paris will soon spring up in other cities. The services connect home cooks who trade meals with other home chefs. It is particularly popular among single and couple households who are often laden with leftovers or who loathe cooking for one.
Meanwhile, yoghurt shops - selling non-frozen yoghurt - could soon become the new ice-cream parlour.
Health-conscious consumers have been flocking to yoghurt boutiques in New York for cups of traditional and Greek yoghurt with healthy toppings such as fresh fruit, seeds and nuts.
In more good news for those watching their weight, scientists are busy perfecting mid-calorie foods - products with reduced or medium calories but more taste than diet or low-calorie products.

What would you take with you if your house caught fire? That's the burning question Foster Huntington came up with to filter potential dates, a provocative query that eventually turned into a wildly successful blog and book.
"If they said 'a Chanel purse' I would have been like, 'Screw that,'" says Huntington, 24, in an interview with Wired.
Within days of coming up with the concept at a dinner party, he had started The Burning House blog and posted photos of his and a couple friends' prized possessions. The blog went semi-viral over the next two weeks, with readers from around the world submitting photos of their favorite things.
"It just kind of snowballed," he says.
At the time, Huntington was living in New York City and working as a concept designer for Ralph Lauren, a job he initially liked but had quickly become disenchanted with.
"I was having to sit through these meetings where grown men were screaming at each other about small differences in cashmere sweater colors and I was like, 'There is no fucking way I can do this for the rest of my life,'" he says.
Luckily, the blog became so successful that he was able to line up a publisher for the Burning House book and received enough cash from the advance to leave the city. He bought a four-wheel-drive Volkswagen van and has traveled more than 45,000 miles around the country over the past 13 months, taking photos and expanding his digital footprint.
"It's been wild," he says.
Interestingly, The Burning House wasn't the first time Huntington had used a blog to break out of a stale situation.
Back in 2008, he was a struggling, dyslexic college student facing an economy that was circling the toilet bowl. He didn't particularly like what he was studying and knew his job prospects were dim.
He bought a DSLR on a whim and started making photos that he posted on his first blog, A Restless Transplant. The photos didn't have a clear theme, but Huntington quickly developed a unique kind of Americana/retro aesthetic, often focusing on landscapes, cars, clothes or other objects he liked.
"Up until that point everything had always been this huge battle for me," he says. "I was a mediocre student at best but when I started taking photos and doing visual stuff, everything started clicking."
At the time, Huntington was living in Waterville, Maine, and somehow a Ralph Lauren employee who grew up in the area happened upon his blog. That employee liked Huntington's eye and his style choices enough to offer him the internship that eventually led to his job.
It was the first step in what Huntington now refers to as the "Field of Dreams, build it and they will come" kind of social-media-infused life he would build on with The Burning House.
"I quickly realized that I had to make my own opportunities," he says.
In addition to surfing a lot, Huntington has been trying to diversify the coverage on The Burning House during his time on the road. When he first started the blog, it was particularly popular with the younger urban crowd. Well-known hipster items, like old toy cameras and antique clothing, became recurring themes.
Huntington says the occasional surprise also found its way into the photos, including a pet parrot, a slice of pizza and a photo of a girl standing over her stillborn sister in the hospital.
"I was like, 'Holy shit, that is incredibly personal and emotional,'" he says.
Huntington says that since leaving New York he's tried to photograph the objects of people who lead a more normal and less "hip" lifestyle.
"I didn't want people who drive a Subaru or an Audi and have a Moleskine to dominate the site," he says. "I wanted to broaden the perspective."
Out on the road he's started a third blog called Van Life, which features his and other photographers' photos of vans that serve as mobile homes. He also started using the #vanlife Instagram hashtag, which has helped him reach more than 225,000 followers on the photo-sharing site.
"I'm totally a product of social media," says Huntington, who estimates that he communicates with about half a million people each day online.
His creativity has continued to pay off: In addition to the book deal, he's hooked a couple of corporate clients who've paid him enough to keep his adventure alive. He just came back from a two-week surf trip to northern Russia (sponsored by Patagonia), where he was in charge of documenting the excitement on Tumblr and Instagram; he's about to head out on another Patagonia-backed adventure with a bunch of surfers as they bicycle and surf their way through Big Sur in Northern California.
At the moment, Huntington says he has no plans to rejoin the static world anytime soon.
"After seeing what kind of online and mobile opportunities are out there, I figure that I'll never really have a desk job again," he says. "Now more than ever, people can live free lives but still be connected."

When to soothe a bump and when to call for help
Bumps and bruises can be a rite of childhood passage from the minute your baby is on the move (and sometimes, even before). A bruise or a bump (sometimes known as an 'egg') are simply the body's reaction to a blow or injury - with blood or fluid pooling around the area.
Most bumps and bruises look worse than they actually are, but sometimes you'll need to see a doctor for reassurance or treatment. Here's how to tell whether you should simply treat a bump, or seek medical advice.
When to soothe a bump
A bump, or egg, can look absolutely awful - particularly when it's on your baby's beautiful pristine skin. But bumps are simply a collection of fluid that gathers to protect the body when an injury occurs. You can soothe the bump if your baby:
- is not in too much pain (crying for a period after the injury is OK, but if you're worried seek medical advice)
- has normal eyes (pupils not dilated or eyes not crossing)
- isn't vomiting
- isn't displaying any of the symptoms of concussion listed below.
But if your baby is displaying any of these signs, you should seek urgent medical attention.
To treat a bump
When your baby has a bump, taking the following actions can help it recede sooner and help soothe any pain:
- Apply an ice pack for 15 - 20 minutes, making sure you keep a towel or tea towel between the ice pack and the skin to prevent ice burn. If your baby won't accept an ice pack, try a cool, wrung out facecloth instead.
- Give your baby the recommended dose of paracetamol for his age and weight to ease the pain.
- Let your baby rest.
- Keep applying the ice pack for the specified time over the next 24 hours - with 30 minutes between sessions.
When to seek medical advice
Most bruises and bumps will resolve without the need to see a doctor. However, seek medical advice if:
- your child has a fever.
- you can see signs of infection around the bruise, such as pus or redness.
- bruises are appearing without any injuries.
- your child feels extreme pressure around the bruise - seek urgent medical attention.
A bump on the head isn't necessarily serious, but keep an eye out for any of the symptoms of concussion which will typically appear quite quickly, or within 24 hours of the injury occurring:
- loss of consciousness
- sleepiness
- confusion
- vomiting
- memory loss
- severe headaches
- lack of balance
- irritability, crankiness
- clear fluid oozing from ears and nose
- seizures
- crossed or rolling eyes
- shallow breathing
If your child shows any of these signs, seek urgent medical attention.
Who to call for help
If you're concerned, contact your GP or a medical clinic for help. For urgent attention, seek treatment at your nearest hospital.
And don't forget, one of the best ways to treat your baby's minor bumps and bruises is with a kiss and a great big cuddle.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this trial is to study how teens with and without an anxiety disorder make decisions.
This is a brain imaging study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case Control
|Official Title:
|Decision-Making Processes and Brain Function in Anxiety-Disordered and Non-Anxious Youth

Further study details as provided by F. Xavier Castellanos, New York University School of Medicine:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Intolerance of Uncertainty [ Time Frame: at time of assessment/enrollment ]
|Study Start Date:
|February 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Preliminary analyses of behavioral data showed no group differences in response times during the decision-making games. However, behavioral ratings of certainty during the task showed differences between groups. Anxiety-disordered participants indicated lower levels of certainty during the most uncertain conditions of the task (p < .05). This difference was consistent with the study hypothesis. Within-subjects analyses of the decision-making tasks showed that subjects responded as expected. Reaction times (RT) during uncertain conditions of the HiLo-Game were significantly longer than during more certain conditions (p = .001). Diary Task RTs for rating ambiguous situations were significantly longer than ratings of unambiguous situations (p = .019). Preliminary Analyses showed a significant correlation between Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) and RT during the Marble Task (r = -0.54, p < .05). Preliminary analysis also showed significant correlation between ratings of level of anxiety during the diary task and IU, IS, MASC and the child version of the SCARED. These preliminary results were not submitted for publication.

Vulvar cancer is a type of cancer that occurs on the outer surface area of the female genitalia. The vulva is the area of skin that surrounds the urethra and vagina, including the clitoris and labia.
Vulvar cancer commonly forms as a lump or sore on the vulva that often causes itching. Though it can occur at any age, vulvar cancer is most commonly diagnosed in older women.
Vulvar cancer treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cancer and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue. Sometimes vulvar cancer surgery requires removing the entire vulva. The earlier vulvar cancer is diagnosed, the less likely an extensive surgery is needed for treatment.
Signs and symptoms of vulvar cancer may include:
Make an appointment with your primary care doctor or gynecologist if you experience any vulvar signs or symptoms that worry you, such as:
It's not clear what causes vulvar cancer.
In general, doctors know that cancer begins when a cell develops mutations in its DNA. The mutations allow the cell to grow and divide rapidly. The cell and its offspring go on living when other normal cells would die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that may be cancerous, invading nearby tissue and spreading to other parts of the body.
The type of cell in which vulvar cancer begins helps your doctor plan the most effective treatment. The most common types of vulvar cancer include:
Although the exact cause of vulvar cancer isn't known, certain factors appear to increase your risk of the disease, including:
Your first appointment will usually be with either your primary care doctor or a gynecologist. If your doctor or gynecologist suspects or diagnoses cancer, you'll likely be referred to a gynecologic oncologist who specializes in surgery for gynecologic cancers.
Because appointments can be brief, and it can be difficult to remember everything you want to discuss, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here are some suggestions for preparing, and what you can expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For vulvar cancer, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor will likely have a number of questions for you. Some questions your doctor might ask include:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose vulvar cancer include:
Once your diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor works to determine the size and extent (stage) of your cancer. Staging tests can include:
Your vulvar cancer is assigned a Roman numeral that denotes its stage. Stages of vulvar cancer include:
Treatment options for vulvar cancer depend on the type and stage of your cancer, your overall health and your preferences.
Operations used to treat vulvar cancer include:
Extensive surgery for advanced cancer. If cancer has spread beyond the vulva and involves nearby organs, your doctor may recommend removing all of the vulva and the involved organs in a procedure called pelvic exenteration.
Depending on where your cancer has spread, your surgeon may remove the lower colon, rectum, bladder, cervix, uterus, vagina, ovaries and nearby lymph nodes. If your bladder, rectum or colon is removed, your doctor will create an artificial opening in your body (stoma) for your waste to be removed in a bag (ostomy).
Surgery to remove the entire vulva carries a risk of complications, such as infection and problems with healing around the incision. In addition, with part or all of the vulvar padding gone, it can be uncomfortable to sit for long periods. Your genital area may feel numb, and it may not be possible to achieve orgasm during sexual intercourse.
Vulvar cancer often spreads to the lymph nodes in the groin, so your doctor may remove these lymph nodes at the time you undergo surgery to remove the cancer. Depending on your situation, your doctor may remove only a few lymph nodes or many lymph nodes.
Removing lymph nodes can cause fluid retention and leg swelling, a condition called lymphedema.
In certain situations, surgeons may use a technique that allows them to remove fewer lymph nodes. Called sentinel lymph node biopsy, this procedure involves identifying the lymph node where the cancer is most likely to spread first. The surgeon then removes that lymph node for testing. If cancer cells aren't found in that lymph node, then it's unlikely that cancer cells have spread to other lymph nodes.
Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy for vulvar cancer is usually administered by a machine that moves around your body and directs radiation to precise points on your skin (external beam radiation).
Radiation therapy is sometimes used to shrink large vulvar cancers in order to make it more likely that surgery will be successful. Radiation is sometimes combined with chemotherapy, which can make cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation therapy.
If cancer cells are discovered in your lymph nodes, your doctor may recommend radiation to the area around your lymph nodes to kill any cancer cells that might remain after surgery.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs are typically administered through a vein in your arm or by mouth.
For women with advanced vulvar cancer that has spread to other areas of the body, chemotherapy may be an option. Sometimes chemotherapy is combined with radiation therapy to shrink large vulvar cancers in order to make it more likely that surgery will be successful.
After completing vulvar cancer treatment, your doctor may recommend periodic follow-up exams to look for a cancer recurrence. Even after successful treatment, vulvar cancer can return. Your doctor will determine the schedule of follow-up exams that's right for you, but doctors generally recommend exams two to four times each year for the first two years after vulvar cancer treatment.
Living with vulvar cancer can be challenging. Although there are no easy answers for coping with vulvar cancer, the following suggestions may help:
To reduce your risk of vulvar cancer, reduce your risk of sexually transmitted infections such as HPV and HIV. To reduce your risk of these diseases:
Ask your doctor how often you should undergo pelvic exams. These exams allow your doctor to visually examine your vulva and manually examine your internal reproductive organs to check for abnormalities.
Talk to your doctor about your risk factors for vulvar cancer and other pelvic cancers in order to determine the most appropriate screening exam schedule for you.
A full range of treatment options to consider. Mayo Clinic doctors will work with you to review all of your treatment options and choose the treatment that best suits your needs and goals.
The range of treatments offered to women with vulvar cancer includes chemotherapy, radiation and many types of surgical procedures, such as local excision, partial vulvectomy, radical vulvectomy, lymph node removal, sentinel lymph node biopsy and reconstructive surgery.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic, doctors trained in gynecology and gynecologic oncology work with specialists in radiation oncology, hematology/oncology and other specialties as needed to treat women with vulvar cancer.

To the Editor:
I'm standing in line at the city of Ukiah offices, yellow 24-hour shut-off notice in my hand. I want to give them a piece of my mind, but with little to spare, I go through the facts again in my head.
New bank, new bank account. New account in the new bank to withdraw from every month, automatically. Gave them a cancelled check. Yeah. I let the city know. I stood right here, three weeks ago and let them know.
Three whole weeks. Stephen King probably wrote a book in that time.
I think I'm ready. Five-year olds are built better for confrontation than I am, but, yeah, I'm in line, I'm fine. I've got my yellow shut-off notice. I know what I'm going to say. I'm ready.
I am so ready to tell them I don't deserve a 24-hour shut-off notice, that I suddenly think to myself, "Maybe I don't have to give them a piece of my mind right off the bat." Maybe I can wait. Hear what they have to say before I tell them I will just get my electricity, and my street lights, and my garbage picked up, from somebody else.
"How do you like them apples?" I will say. After I hear what they have to say.
And then I hear what they have to say. What Liz Faursto has to say. "Oh, that's our fault," she says.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"That's our fault," she says. She keeps reading the computer screen. "There's a note here already from Kathy Norris. The notice was sent out before the system recognized the new account numbers. That's our fault."
Liz did some typing. And I go into dreamland.
I love that kind of typing, the kind Liz is doing. You can hear her searching via outer space the many ways some signal was lost, a signal from Hubble maybe that needed more infrared amplification to properly show the star that burst apart a billion years ago. The star bursting had nothing to do with my 24-hour shut-off notice, but at such times I am in dreamland, and I believe. I believe.
"Yes," she says, "That was our fault. There's no charge."
I was still in "What?" mode. "What?" I said.
"It was our fault," she repeated. "There's no penalty. No charge."
"Oh," I said. "Good," I said.
I could have gone on to say, "Well, that's better." I could have gone on to say, "I should say there isn't. I should hope not. The error was clearly yours. I have never been treated so shabbily." Except I have.
I have been told by banks holding my home, my mortgage, "sir, your loan is current."
"I know," I said. "But I just got laid-off. So I don't know what the future holds."
"Well, your loan is current. We can't offer any assistance while your loan is current."
"OK," I said. "I heard I'm supposed to let you know of any changes. I'm letting you know."
"I don't know what you expect us to do, sir. Your loan is current."
Three months later when the loan was very not current, they were not able to help due to the account being in arrears.
Nine months later, the Bank of America gave me an answer on my loan modification application. It was "no." Foreclosure was in six days.
So, yeah, someone telling me "it was our fault," when I really have nowhere to go, nothing to threaten anyone with; no back-up generator in my back yard ready to run on gasoline; no dump runs of my own trash to take in my Toyota Tacoma to the dump cheaper than paying the city to come by at 5:30 a.m. each and every Tuesday, meant a lot to me.
I thought I was the only one who had to say, "Sorry. My bad. My fault. I wish things were different, but they aren't. They are what they are. I don't know how they got this way, but they did. I remember when this country ? hell, I remember when I???.. ah, never mind. Just take my word for it. I'm sorry. For so much."
I'll tell my daughter, someday, again, how sorry I am. I'll tell some lovers and some friends. I'll tell my sister. I'll tell my father, and hope from the other side he returns the favor. I'll tell my brother, though no one is as sorry as he is for the wasted years. The wasted years.
The years I would say I'm sorry for if it would bring to me some infrared light from Hubble of a star I have not seen, along with all the words rarely heard.

I've been listening to these guys kiss Sterns a$$ all morning. It's getting irritating. Especially Greenberg who comes out and says, 'I applaud David Stern.' Golic has been just as bad.
Stephen A. Smith says that he thinks Jackson should also have a season suspensions, but what I'm wondering is what happened to what he was saying Friday night about the players protecting themselves and how they shouldn't get much of a suspension? It seems to me that all these analysts are attaching themselves to Stern's a$$.
And the worst thing was Dick Vital saying that David Stern has been the best NBA commissioner in the last 2 decades. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't David Stern been the only NBA commissioner in the last 2 years?

SUCH a beautiful looking course from the pics I've seen!
I can strongly recommend this. I would even more strongly suggest something like the original driclime windshirt. I have 2 of the driclime windshirts, which are pretty much the same thing but without the hood, and with a super thin insulated lining. I wear them 90% of the time golfing in cold/wet weather. I also won't go up a mountain without one, which is a bigger testament than wearing them for disc golf. They are about the warmest thing going for the extreme low weight and are highly breathable and highly windproof. They are not waterproof though, so keep that in mind before you buy. Nevertheless, it rains quite a bit here in Oregon and this is still my goto upper body piece for anything even remotely active unless it's a torrential downpour. Really fast drying, and if it's raining heavily I will probably use a golf umbrella anyway. For a layer you want to keep you warm while still retaining mobility these are far superior to a fleece top. The only thing I would caution against is using the windshirt as an outer layer if you need total waterproofing instead of just a moderate degree of water resistance. The windshirts are pretty low bulk though, so you can throw a waterproof shell over the top.tigel wrote:Does anyone recommend this jacket? It's with in my price range (1-85$), and I'm needing something rain proof but not bulky since I want to throw in it.

Novartis Pharma AG is discontinuing development on a long-acting injectable version of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Fanapt, the District-based biotech reported in a securities filing.
Novartis has marketed Fanapt, a schizophrenia drug and Vanda's lead product, since 2010. The pharma giant has exclusive rights to develop and commercialize other formulations of Fanapt in the U.S. and Canada, as well. But in a blow to the local drugmaker, Novartis gave word on Oct. 8 that it would cease development on the long-acting "depot" formulation, according to Vanda's filing, which did not give an explanation for the program's demise.
The original version of Fanapt won a surprise approval in 2009, but sluggish sales have not lived up to the original enthusiasm. The company posted a net loss of $8 million in the second quarter of 2012, up from $1.3 million in the same period last year. Revenue in the quarter did, however, grow to $8.4 million on higher Fanapt royalty payments.

Detailed Description:
Several studies from HIV-NAT have demonstrated high nevirapine, indinavir, saquinavir and lopinavir/r levels when compared to Caucasian patients. Until now, the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir have not been explored in a Thai population. We postulate that ATV levels, as with other PIs, are higher in Thai people. Therefore, the level of ATV in ATV/RTV 300/100 OD may be higher than the acceptable range and could be associated with ATV related toxicity.

|Drug: Atazanavir
|Phase 1 Phase 2

|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Pharmacokinetics of Atazanavir / Ritonavir 200/100 OD Versus 300/100 mg OD in Combination With 2 NRTIs in HIV Pre-treated Patients

Further study details as provided by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/RTV) 200/100 mg once daily in a sample of 22 patients experiencing virological success [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic between these patients and data from Thai cohort treated with ATV/RTV 300/100 mg OD [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
- short term safety, tolerability and efficacy data in these PK participating patients [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]

ATV/r 200/100 mg OD
Drug: Atazanavir
ATV/r 300/100mg OD vs ATV/r 200/100 mg OD
Detailed Description:
We are interested in once daily ATV/RTV 200/100 mg OD because of the convenience, reduction in ATV doses which may improve adherence while reducing toxicity and cost. There are limited prospective studies evaluating pharmacokinetic and long term efficacy and safety of atazanavir/ritonavir once daily dose in combination of NRTIs in HIV-1 pretreated patients. We believe that the PK parameters of ATV/RTV given at 200/100mg daily in Thai patients will be equivalent to the ATV/RTV 300/100mg once daily dosing in Caucasian patients when combined with 2NRTIs, and that the once daily regimen will have better safety, tolerability profile, and cost saving while maintaining good CD4 and VL outcome. If, the pharmacokinetic profile of ATV/RTV 200/100 mg OD + 2NRTIs is in acceptable range or comparable with standard dose of ATV/RTV 300/100 mg OD, long term efficacy will be explored later.

Area of a SquareMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
You have a piece of paper, 10cm by 10cm. Area = 100cm^2. For some reason, you need a square piece of paper with an area of 50cm^2. Using the paper you have, what's an easy way of getting the new square?
HintTry it with a piece of paper, doesn't matter the size of the square, try to find a square half its size inside it.
AnswerFold the four corners of the square into the centre. This doubles the thickness of the paper, and so halves the area.

Jumpsuits: The Trend Is Here to Stay
The Jumpsuit Is Here to Stay
The Jumpsuit Is Here to Stay
When jumpsuits reemerged a few years ago, we all wondered if the trend had legs (no pun intended). The song Dancing Queen kept popping into our head each time we looked at one. Then stylish ladies like Gwyneth, Rachel Zoe, and Kate Bosworth were spotted in them. Most recently, one of fashion's most respected designers, Phoebe Philo of Celine, rocked one at the British Fashion Awards, and we fell in love with all the jumpsuits on the Spring '11 runways. Jumpsuits can be totally sexy when you wear it right: not too tight, minimal accessories. Here, a look at some of our favorites.

Sad to see Lewis out for year (career?), but he's lost more than a few steps. Ellerbe and Kindle should be able to slide in and give us 90% of what Lewis gave us, at least on the field. Losing Webb for the year, however, is just a huge blow. That's going to be tough.
Still, I wouldn't write the Ravens off just yet. We haven't looked like an elite team, especially because the defense can't stop the run some games, and keeps our offense off the field. Probably being a homer here, but I'm optimistic that our D can get it together if TSuggs comes back. Can't underestimate just how important Suggs' ball pressure is to Ravens D. He's slated to come back November and could be in decent shape for playoffs.

I know this little detail won't help your hat of Ray but he was found not guilty so he is not a murderer except in your mind. I think he has been a good guy and he has been great for the NFL...... But I can understand you having a player you just don't like.....

It's true. Man he is good. Eli obviously has one of the most impressive playoff resume's ever. But what was missing from his resume' going into this season was him willing his team to great regular season records like Peyton and Brady do. If this season is any indication, it looks like he's finally going to start doing that as he enters the prime of his career. He is playing great right now and you can say with a straight face that he is the best QB in the NFL. I know it's brutally difficult to make back to back Super Bowls, but I think the Giants are the best team in the NFL right now.

point of clarification: Ray Lewis was never found "not guilty" of anything in that murder case.
He negotiated a plea agreement where the murder charges against him were dismissed in exchange for his testimony against the two other men. His reward: accepting a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.
Following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta on January 31, 2000, a fight broke out between Lewis and his companions and another group of people, resulting in the stabbing deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar. Lewis and two companions, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, were questioned by Atlanta police, and eleven days later the three men were indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. The white suit Lewis was wearing the night of the killings has never been found. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard alleged that the bloodstained suit was dumped in a garbage bin outside a fast food restaurant.
Lewis admitted that he gave a misleading statement to police on the morning after the killings. Superior Court Judge Alice D. Bonner sentenced Lewis to 12 months' probation, the maximum sentence for a first-time offender; and he was fined $250,000 by the NFL.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
So apparently he was not guilty.....
And then watch them lose to the Redskins at home on Sunday
It really doesn't matter who looks good in October I mean the Giants were lights out the following year after the SB well until Plax channeled Cheddar Bob and they were one and done.
Honestly I have no idea who will be there at the end
That whole evening seems shady to me. What was Ray hiding from the police when questioned? Why even give misleading information when there are 2 dead bodies? Ray was part of the crime. I don't care what the corrupt judicial system said about the case

This is a classic Manning vs. Chargers game.

It's one thing to lose to the Steelers and Patriots in the playoffs. Those were great championship teams. But those two back to back playoff losses against SD in 07 and 08 drive me nuts. They were two completely wasted seasons of Manning's prime. We are the only upper-tier team in the AFC that struggled with those clowns. The Pats, Steelers, and even the Jets didn't have trouble disposing them in the playoffs. We were the only AFC team they could beat. It was maddening.

This is the one thing that made it baffling for me that Manning even chose the Broncos he'd face this team twice a season.
I mean really
That being said the rest of the Broncos aren't doing so good either.
Manning chose the broncos because of Elway plan and simple. Its just too bad Denver is not the real deal.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Denver went 8-5 with Tebow and may soon be 2-4 with Peyton
just sayin...
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Then again, they might not be 2-4..... I don't give up on Peyton until the end of the game. He has certainly taught me that over the years.....
The last time a QB not named Brady/Manning/Roethlisberger made it to the SB was Rich Gannon 10 years ago.
That being said the Broncos just scored a TD and now its 24-21 Chargers
Manning to Decker for 29 yards and he didn't trip either.
Um.... that touchdown catch by Stokley was absolutely sick. Peyton is killing them this half.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Classic Manning right here.

Rasmus, Santos ready for rehab assignments
TORONTO -- Colby Rasmus will start his rehab assignment at designated hitter when he joins Triple-A Buffalo in Toledo on Thursday, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Monday.
The center fielder hasn't played since May 12 due to right hamstring tightness.
He'll need to play at least a few rehab games with the Bisons before returning to the Blue Jays' lineup.
Kevin Pillar and Anthony Gose have been sharing duties in center field in his absence.
Rasmus is hitting .222 with nine home runs and 19 RBIs in 37 games this season, though he'd turned around a slow start and was hitting .289 with four homers and 10 RBIs in the 10 games prior to his injury.
In other injury news, right-hander Sergio Santos threw a bullpen session on Sunday and has since departed for his rehab assignment with Double-A New Hampshire. The 30-year-old reliever hasn't pitched since May 9 when he started to experience right forearm tenderness.
Santos is 0-2 with five saves and a 9.00 ERA in 12 innings with the Blue Jays this season.
He could rejoin the team as early as this weekend, when Toronto travels to Baltimore for a four-game series against the Orioles.

'Three members of the Edmonton Oilers front office reserved space in the Continental Airlines Arena press box. Oilers vice president of hockey operations Kevin Prendergast, assistant general manager Scott Howson and scout Morey Gare each had a seat, and they'll probably zip over to Long Island for Biron's season debut.'
