A seamless knit construction helps reduce chaffing and irritation whilst Dri-FIT fabric sweeps sweat away from the body helping you to stay cool, dry and most importantly comfortable as you pound the pavement. Mesh panels are knitted into the tank to the sides, front and back to enhance ventilation.
Range of motion is optimised through the sporty racer back style and reflective panels increase your visibility on low-light runs. A cord management loop to the back of the neck keeps your media cords neatly tucked out of the way and the iconic swoosh logo sits to the left chest area for a classic Nike finish.
Wear with a pair of Nike running tights and Experience Run trainers for a svelte silhouette and plenty of cushioning underfoot.

When Luis Alejandro Sanz got out of prison for drug trafficking, he soon found his new criminal fortunes in Miami's emerging cottage industry: Medicare fraud.
The convicted felon started a home healthcare company, using his wife Elizabeth as the straw owner to hide himself from authorities.
The couple cashed in. Their Miami-Dade business, Ideal Home Health, billed Medicare $45 million for purportedly providing nursing services for homebound diabetic patients — raking in $30 million in taxpayer dollars.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams sent Luis Sanz, 58, to prison for 10 years and Elizabeth Acosta Sanz, 45, for nine years, saying the couple made a "mockery" of the beleaguered federal program for the elderly and disabled. The Sanzes, who bought a $1.3 million West Miami-Dade home with their ill-gotten gains, paid kickbacks to recruiters and patients for services that were never provided or needed.
Even the couple's defense attorney, Jay Moskowitz, told the judge: "In this particular case, the patients [were] in on it."
The Sanzes, who have an 8-year-old daughter, pleaded guilty earlier this year in cooperation deals with the feds. So far, the investigation of their business, which bilked Medicare between 2006 and 2009, has produced 25 fraud convictions. Indictments of more co-conspirators are expected.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Bernstein said the Medicare program, which has been widely criticized for lax oversight of providers and claims in the past, should not be blamed in the Sanzes' case because the couple made their business look so legitimate.
Luis Sanz, who had served a five-year prison sentence for cocaine smuggling and money laundering in the 1990s, conceived the home care scam and recruited the patients. His wife, who ran the business, forged doctors' signatures, altered medical records and filed false claims. Both have been in custody since their arrests in July 2011.
"Every single day, they had one purpose: to steal as much money as they could from Medicare," Bernstein told the judge. "Medicare paid because these people were good at fooling Medicare."
Sanz's reinvention as a Medicare entrepreneur is nothing new for freed felons, according to Bernstein, who heads the healthcare fraud section at the U.S. attorney's office.
"The case of Luis Sanz really encapsulates what's been happening in Miami" since the 1990s, when many drug traffickers began gravitating to the Medicare rackets because it was seen as profitable and less risky.
Among those who have slipped through the system:
• Armando "Manny" Gonzalez, a convicted cocaine trafficker, opened a pair of mental health clinics in the Kendall and Cutler Bay areas in the mid-2000s. By 2008, suspecting the feds were on to him, he took his psychotherapy business to North Carolina. In May, Gonzalez was indicted with eight other defendants on charges of conspiring to fleece $63 million from Medicare. His now-shuttered company, Health Care Solutions Network, was paid $28 million. A federal trial is pending.
• Lazaro Delgado, after serving a nine-year prison sentence for drug dealing, acquired two home healthcare agencies that billed Medicare $4.1 in phony claims. Delgado hid his role by putting the businesses, Loyal Home Health and Loving Nursing, in the names of straw owners. Delgado, who stole the ID numbers of physicians and patients in the Medicare network to submit fraudulent claims, collected $1.8 million for purported medical services in 2010-11. Delgado recently pleaded guilty and faces sentencing.

Tigers Pound out 17 Hits in 10-3 Win over Manchester
March 12, 2011
March 12, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw scored seven runs in the bottom of the third and defeated visiting Manchester by a 10-3 score at Walker Field. The Tigers improved to 6-5 with the win, while the Spartans dropped to 2-2.
Manchester took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third as John Smolinski's ground out scored Trey Forbes who led off the inning with a double.
The Tigers sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom half of the frame and scored all seven runs with two out. Rob McPike reached on a bunt single and scored on Alex Wright's double. Zach Galyean followed with a double and Alex Berlyin with a run-scoring single to make it 3-1.
Robbie Stein's double scored Berlyn and Chris Forbringer plated Stein with a single. Ben Gardner followed with a single before Sam Swafford singled home two.
Manchester's Jay Sheets led off the fourth with a solo homer, but the Tigers countered in the fifth as Gardner's single scored Berlyn and gave DePauw an 8-2 lead. Stein's sixth-inning single brought home Galyean and Wright drove in Swafford in the seventh with a single.
Manchester added one more in the eighth as Smolinski scored from third on a double play ground out.
The Tigers totaled 17 hits led by Stein's three. Gardner, Swafford, Wright, Galyean, Berlyn and Forbringer had two apiece. Forbes had two of the Spartans' seven hits.
Hobs Donovan improved to 2-1 after allowing two earned runs in eight innings, while Justin Scott dropped to 2-1.
The Tigers host Alma later this afternoon.

Cleveland, Grover
The latest news on Cleveland, Grover
Senator's pivot on taxes is the latest move in Washington's high-stakes, election-year game of chicken.
His favorite president is Democrat Cleveland.
President Carter cedes control of the Panama Canal and Palestinian terrorists seize Israeli athletes.
"The filthiest dirty campaign trick ever pulled because it literally destroyed a presidency."
While candidates' moral failings are big news, many voters forgive them their sins.

i disagree a bit. whilst she's not programming a kitchen menu, she's not making breakfast, she's not making breakfast, either - the kids are outside, in the rain, tending (presumably) homewards. i reckon she's making an after school snack & buying that shirt for boy child. her stove's electric, too.

It is rare that collectors get a chance to get inside the heads of legendary numismatic researchers.
Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers is offering the research archives of Elvira and Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli in a Jan. 12 auction at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, in association with the New York International Numismatic Convention.
The Clain-Stefanellis moved to the United States from Europe in 1951. Vladimir was appointed curator of the National Numismatic Collection in October 1956 and Elvira joined as co-curator the following year. She succeeded her husband upon his death in 1982, serving as curator until her retirement in 2000, after 43 years of curatorial work. She died the next year.
Under their direction, the collection grew from 65,000 objects to more than 1.6 million pieces.
Among the lots offered are original typescript manuscripts of their books Numismatics — An Ancient Science (1965) and History of the National Numismatic Collections (1968). Each carries an estimate of $500.
A substantial of group of 77 binders filled with the couple's notes including a major unpublished work on Roman Republican coins that is described as "an extraordinary effort on the part of the Clain-Stefanellis and a substantial resource for the researcher." The binders are offered as a single lot with an estimate of $5,000.
The auction also includes what the firm describes as the most complete archive of material related to the controversy of the Franklin Hoard of U.S. 1853 Assay Office gold $20 coins ever offered for public sale. The description notes, "The controversies surrounding the area of pioneer western bars and ingots remain the most important areas of significant scholarly disagreement in U.S. numismatics and have repercussions in areas outside the United States." The lot is estimated at $10,000. ■

WASHINGTON (September 24, 2012)--The U.S. weather satellite that tracks the East Coast and Atlantic hurricanes is broken and meteorologists were scrambling Monday to fill in lost data for forecasters with a spare satellite and help from a European satellite.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesman Scott Smullen said that engineers shut down the East Coast satellite on Sunday because of vibrations.
They' were still trying to diagnose the problem Monday.
Smullen said there may be a slight decrease in the accuracy of weather forecasts and NOAA is checking to see if it will affect hurricane forecasting.
The $500 million satellite was launched in 2006, but it wasn't used regularly to monitor weather until 2010.

WOW! This set is so great! So elaborate! So many functions! How couldd LEGO do this? The minifigures: - Solomon Blaze: He has a cool tech-cyborg-scope-thing in his face - Mosquitoid: Very good detail, awesome wings, loose parts on head :/ The build: Cool build, many good techniques used to make it really solid and secure. The only catch is that there are many stickers, and some are really tough to apply. The design: The overall design is very futuristic looking. I think it looks sweet! The colors and stickers fit good together, and it looks fresh and new. It has a total of four yellow laser cannons + the two lighter, detachable guns in the front. The interceptor also has some really nice jet engines. Of course, we must not forget that the set also includes a little speeder for the buggoid! This one is actually really cool, with spikes and small, transparent airfoils. The functions: First, the speeder has a control stick that can be folded in, and some nice moving blasters. Sadly, there's no place for the buggoid's gun. But the interceptor is the really deal when we talk about functions. It has so many of them! The cockpit opens, and there are two guns on the nose that can be detached and used by hand. These look cool. The cockpit is connected to the body of the jet with a loose axel, so that it rotates when the jet moves to always stay in a upright position. It's similar to that of the B-wing from Star Wars and works very good. But that's not it! The cockpit can actually be pulled off and become a vehicle on it's own, which is actually the whole idea of the Galaxy Squad's vehicles: They split into two to become two new vehicles. And the way it's work is cool: After pulled apart, the cockpit has some small wings that can be folded out, so that it can now become a separate vehicle! Meanwhile, the wings on the body of the jet fold down, to actually make leg supports for a turret! That's right, the body is now a turret. Sadly the laser cannons on the jet can't point up, so they can only shoot targets on the ground. But this problem is luckily solved by another, neat function: A secret hatch on the back opens to reveal "deadly" missiles! These are two flick missiles that can be folded up and down to attack enemies in the air! This great feature can also be used in flight mode, which is great! Summary: Pros: - Nice figs - Great speeder for the buggoid - Awesome jet - Working cockpit gravitational rotation - Cool separate vehicles - Neat secret missile hatch Cons: - The turret can't really rotate + the cannons can't point up Awesome set! Recommend it for sure, especially if you are low on budget. TheMagneth out!

That line from the original StarCraft comes to mind every time I see this set,. In fact, every Galaxy Squad set reminds me of that wonderful game, and with a little rework, I'll be able to truly make StarCraft sets in Lego. But, enough about that; on to the review... As everyone mentioned before, the cockpit swivels, *yay,* but, when held sideways, the wings aren't centered. I know it's not such a big deal, but I'm a little OCD like that. If it were real, I don't think it'd be able to fly straight. I liked the minifigs, especially the two faces on the pilot. Not really sure why a bug needs a space sled, but I'm not questioning it. My two complaints (just like EVERYONE else) are the stickers and the flick-fire missiles. Lets face it, flick-fires go 2 inches out of the tubes before gravity takes over. Maybe if they had longer launchers, or the missiles themselves were longer, I'd be okay with them. All in all, I think this is a great set and I encourage you to pick it up.

Lymphatic System
Structure and FunctionsFluids (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
The lymphatic system is a complex of capillaries, ducts, nodes, and organs that filters and maintains interstitial fluid—that is, fluid from body tissues. Fluid is collected from body tissues and returned to the bloodstream. In addition, the system functions as a site of the immune response, primarily in the spleen and the lymph nodes, and transports fat and protein to the bloodstream.
The organs of the lymphatic system are divided into primary lymphoid organs and secondary organs. The primary organs include the thymus and the bone marrow, which are sites where lymphocytes are produced and mature. Secondary lymphoid organs are those in which the immune response is carried out. These include both encapsulated organs such as the spleen and lymph nodes and unencapsulated organs such as the mucosal associated lymphoid tissue, which includes Peyer's patches in the intestine and Waldemeyer's ring in the throat (the tonsils and adenoids), which encircles the pharnyx. Lymph nodes are found throughout the body, but they occur in large numbers in the head, neck, armpits (the axillary nodes), and abdomen and groin (the inguinal nodes).
The lymphatic vessels essentially parallel those of the bloodstream. The system originates in peripheral tissue as small openings, or sinuses, within the tissue. Fluid that drains from the tissue collects in these sinuses and forms lymph. In addition, a significant amount of...

Disorders and Diseases (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
If the interstitial fluid—that is, the fluid in the tissues—increases beyond the capacity of the lymphatic system to handle the situation, an abnormal accumulation of fluid will build up in the tissue. This creates a situation known as edema. A variety of etiological factors can cause edema. For example, burns, inflammation, and certain allergic reactions may increase the level of capillary permeability. This is particularly true if a large amount of protein is lost as the result of a serious burn.
An increase in capillary hydrostatic pressure may also increase the rate of fluid buildup in the tissues. This may be a by-product of several conditions: congestive heart failure, renal failure, or the use of a variety of drugs (estrogen, phenylbutazone). For example, an increase in the sodium concentration of the blood caused by retention resulting from renal failure or simply an excess of salt in the diet may cause water retention and increased blood volume. The sequelae include increased fluid leakage and edema. It is for this reason that a reduction in sodium intake is often recommended for those who suffer from this problem. Diuretics may be prescribed to promote the excretion of sodium and water. Similarly, venous obstruction as serious as phlebitis or as minor as the pressure from a tight bandage or clothing may increase hydrostatic pressure and lead to edema.

Perspective and Prospects (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
The first description of the lymphatic system was made by the Italian anatomist Gasparo Aselli in 1622. Aselli observed the lacteals in the intestinal walls of dogs that he had dissected, and he included diagrams of the lacteals in his text De Lactibus (1627), the first anatomical medical text with color plates.
The role of the lymphatic system in maintaining the fluid dynamics of the body was understood by the beginning of the twentieth century. Much of this knowledge resulted from the early work of the British physiologist Ernest Henry Starling.
Beginning about 1900, Starling's research centered on the secretion and circulation of lymph. It was known that the lymphatic system as a parallel to blood circulation was found only among the higher vertebrates. This indicated that it had developed relatively late during the course of evolution. There occurred, along with the increasing development of the body's circulatory system as organisms evolved, an increase in the hydrostatic pressure within the system—that is, as the circulatory system became more complex, blood vessels branched into smaller and thinner capillaries. The pressure within those capillaries became higher. Starling pointed out the significance of the hydrostatic pressures within the capillaries: Fluids and dissolved materials leak out of the capillaries into the tissues.
Starling did not believe, however, that protein was...

Lymphatic System (Encyclopedia of Science)
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that transports nutrients to the cells and collects their waste products. The lymph system consists of lymph capillaries and lymph vessels that are somewhat similar to blood capillaries and blood vessels. In addition, it includes lymph ducts (tubes that carry fluids secreted by glands) and lymph nodes (reservoirs that filter out bacteria and other toxins from the lymph that passes through them).
In the circulatory system, blood flows from the heart, through the arteries, and into capillaries that surround all cells. When blood reaches the capillaries, a portion of blood plasma (the liquid portion of the blood) seeps out of the capillaries and into the space surrounding cells. That plasma is then known as tissue fluid. Tissue fluid consists of water plus dissolved molecules that are small enough to fit through the small openings in capillaries.
Tissue fluid is an important component of any living animal. Nutrients pass out of tissue fluid into cells and, conversely, waste products from cells are dumped back into the tissue fluid.
Some tissue fluid returns to blood capillaries by osmosis. (Osmosis is the process by which fluids and substances dissolved in them pass through a membrane until all substances involved reach a balance.) But some tissue fluid is also diverted into a second network of tubes: the...

Lymphatic System (Encyclopedia of Nursing & Allied Health)
The lymphatic system is composed of a network of vessels that collects fluid and plasma proteins that leak out of capillaries and into the interstitial space. Lymphatic vessels return the lymph (fluid and plasma protein) back to the circulatory system through the veins.
The lymphatic system is a secondary system of vessels that is distinct both in anatomy and function from the blood vessel capillaries of the circulatory system. Small lymphatic vessels (or "lymphatics") called lymphatic capillaries are found in almost all organs of the body except superficial layers of the skin, the central nervous system, endomysium of muscles, and the bone. These exceptions have a system of smaller vessels called prelymphatics. Fluid from prelymphatics returns to nearby lymphatic vessels, or the cerebral spinal fluid in the case of the central nervous system.
Lymphatic capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells. They are anchored to the surrounding connective tissue by special filaments called anchoring filaments. The system begins as a series of sacs. Each sac has a low hydrostatic pressure relative to the outside of the sac. At the end of the lymphatic capillaries there are endothelial valves. The valves form as a result of the slight overlap of the endothelial cells, and the overlapping edge has the ability to open inward. The valves open enough to allow fluid and plasma protein to pass into the lymphatic capillary.
Inside the lymph vessels are valves that prevent the backflow of lymph, a general name for the slightly opalescent fluid picked up by the lymphatics. Surrounding the lymphatics are smooth muscles that contract involuntarily to assist in the movement of lymph through the system. The lymphatic capillaries converge into larger lymph vessels. The larger lymph vessels pass through swellings called lymph nodes and then empty into one of two large lymph ducts. The lymph ducts empty into the venous circulatory system through either the right or left subclavian veins. Lymph from the right side of the head, arm and chest empties into the right subclavian vein. Lymph collected from the lower part of the body, and lymph from the left side of the head, arm and chest empties into the left subclavian vein. Both subclavian veins are located within the thorax underneath the clavicles, the thin bones located on the top part of the chest.
At approximately 600 sites in the human body, lymphatic vessels converge into bundles of tissue called lymph nodes. The shape of a lymph node resembles a kidney bean and ranges in size from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. They are mostly found at the base of extremities such as the arms, legs and head. Many afferent lymphatics or vessels lead the lymph into the node at the larger curve of the bean shape and efferent lymphatics, fewer in number, take the lymph away from the node at the hilum, the depressed region of the bean shape. All nodes have a blood supply from the circulatory system running through them. The blood vessels enter and exit at the hilum. Inside the nodes are a honeycomb of lymphfilled sinuses that have macrophages and groupings of lymphocytes that produce antibodies.
As mentioned, lymph is the fluid flowing through the lymphatic system and originates from the interstitial spaces of the organs and tissues. Another element of the lymph is a type of cell of the immune system called a lymphocyte, which is a type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes mature in either the thymus (T-lymphocytes) or the bone marrow (B-lymphocytes), which are primary lymphoid organs The blood supply transports lymphocytes from their site of maturation (the thymus or bone marrow) to secondary lymphoid organs such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils. All lymphocytes in the adult originate in the bone marrow.
Fluid enters organs and tissues from the arterial capillaries, and is eventually reabsorbed by the venous capillaries. However, not all of the fluid is reabsorbed by blood capillaries. About one tenth of the fluid is returned to the blood vessels via the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system reabsorbs about 2 qt (l) of fluid per day. Lymph composition is different depending on the site of origin. For example lymph collected from the gastrointestinal tract is high in fat that has been absorbed during digestion, and lymph collected from the bone marrow and thymus is high in lymphocyte concentration.
Lymph is collected when the pressure of the interstitial fluid and plasma proteins increases in the organs and tissues. Lymph pushes against the outside of the lymphatic valves and flows into the lymphatic capillary. This is called bulk flow. Valves are located throughout the lymphatic system approximately 0.15 in (38 mm) apart. Backflow is not possible in the lymphatics because the
valves open in only one direction. Therefore, the lymphatic system runs in only one direction.
There are several factors the affect the rate at which lymph is collected. Interstitial fluid pressure affects the rate of flow of fluid into the lymphatic capillaries. Elevated capillary pressure, increased interstitial fluid pressure, and increased capillary permeability all contribute to an increase in the amount of interstitial pressure and the rate of lymph flow.
Smooth muscles around the lymphatic vessels act as lymphatic pumps, and their involuntary contractions affect the rate of lymph flow. As the lymphatic vessel swells with fluid, the smooth muscle around that portion senses the stretch and automatically contracts, pushing the lymph through the valve to the next chamber. The valve prevents backwards flow as the smooth muscle in the chamber contracts to send the lymph through the next valve into the next chamber. This process continues along the entire vessel until the lymph passes through the lymph nodes and into the subclavian vein.
Factors outside of the lymphatic system can also affect the rate of lymph flow by assisting in the pumping of lymph through the system. The following eternal factors can increase lymph flow: contraction of close skeletal muscles, movements made by other parts of the body, nearby arterial pulses, and compression of tissues by items outside of the body. Therefore, during periods of exercise, the lymphatic system is extremely active and the flow rate is high.
The terminal end of the lymphatic capillary also has a pump that can affect the rate of lymph flow. When the interstitial fluid pressure is high, the surrounding tissue expands. The anchoring filaments that are attached to the endothelial cells at the terminal end of the lymphatic capillary and to the connective tissue pull the capillary valves open, allowing inward flow of interstitial fluid. Then the internal lymphatic capillary pressure causes the valves to close and the smooth muscle in the first compartment to contract and push the lymph into the next chamber.
Contractile actomyosin filaments are also present in the end terminal of the lymphatic vessels. These filaments cause the rhythmic contraction of the terminal end of the lymphatic capillary. Therefore, they contribute to part of the initial pumping of lymph through the system.
B-lymphocytes (B-cells) type of white blood cell that originates in the bone marrow and recognizes foreign antigens (or proteins), secreting antibodies in an immune response.

Role in human health
The lymphatic system has a variety of roles in human health ranging from returning fluid from organs back to the circulatory system, to an important part in the human immune response, to absorbing lipids from the intestines. The defining role of the lymphatic vessels is to return any fluid that has leaked from the capillaries and into the interstitial space back to the circulatory system through the veins. This is important because if fluid was retained in the tissues, the result in reduced blood volume and swelling of the tissues.
Another important role of the lymphatic system is the ability of plasma proteins to fit through the lymphatic valves and into the lymphatic capillary. Since most proteins have such a high molecular weight, they are unable to be reabsorbed by venous capillaries. With out the reabsorption of the plasma proteins, humans can die within 24 hours.
The lymphatic system also has an essential role in the process of digestion. Primarily, the lymphatic capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract are one of the main routes for fats to be absorbed. Fats enter the lymphatics before entering the blood stream.
High molecular weight proteins are not the only large substances that are absorbed. Microorganisms such as bacteria can also fit between the endothelial cells of the terminal end of the lymphatic capillary. As this occurs and the bacteria are transported to the next lymph node, the meshwork of the node and sinuses with in the node act as a filter, catching and trapping the foreign organisms. Once trapped, microorganisms can be attacked by the concentrated cells of the immune system. Macrophages may consume disease-causing bacteria, Blymphocytes may come into contact with the antigens on the surface of the microorganism and stimulate antibodies, and T-lymphocytes called "killer" cells that attach themselves to the foreign organism and release a substance to destroy the organism. The destructive nature of the "killer" cells is enhanced by another T-lymphocyte called "helper" cells (T-helper cells also assist B-cells). If this system fails, then microorganisms are not destroyed, resulting in the spread of infection though the lymphatic system and extreme infection possibly leading to death.
Cancer cells that have lost adherence to, and break away from, the primary tumor are collected by the lymphatic system and filtered by latticework within the lymph nodes. Within the lymph node T-cells release substances called lymphokine (e.g. gamma interferor and interleukin 2) that may help destroy the cancer cells. Doctors use the lymph nodes as one factor of evaluation when determining the stage of the cancer. In other words, when determining how far the cancer has progressed at the time of diagnosis, the lymph nodes can be dissected to determine if cancer has spread (metastisized) from the original tumor or not. If cancer cells are present in the lymph nodes, then the cancer receives a higher stage and a less-optimistic diagnosis. In cancers that metastasize via the lymphatics, the lymph nodes where cancer cells are present are often removed. This is even more common when the lymph nodes in question are adjacent to the tumor, when the lymph nodes are located on the only lymphatic vessel present in the area of the tumor, or if no other lymphatics will be damaged during the removal.
Common diseases and disorders
Since the lymphatic system is responsible for draining excess fluid from tissues and organs, the most common symptom of diseases and disorders of the lymphatic system is swelling. For example, a disease known as elephantiasis, which is caused by a filarial worm infestation, involves the blockage of the lymphatics. When the lymphatics are blocked, fluid cannot be drained and swelling occurs in the affected areas. Administering ethyl-carbamazine drugs, elevating the area and wearing a compression stocking can treat elephantiasis.
Tonsillitis is another disease of the lymphatic system. Tonsillitis usually involves a bacterial or viral infection located within the tonsils. The tonsils are swollen, and the patient experiences a fever, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing. This can be treated by the use of antibiotics or through a surgical procedure called a tonsillectomy.
A condition common among individuals following surgery for breast cancer or prostate cancer is lymphedema. It is caused by blockage of lymph vessels or lymph nodes located near the surgical site and can result in swollen arms or legs. If microorganisms cause the swelling, then antibiotics are used as treatment. If microorganisms are not the cause, then compression garments and message therapy are used as treatment.
There are also cancers called lymphosarcomas and cancers of the lymph nodes that can affect the lymphatic system. The causes of these cancers are not known and there is not a consensus on what preventative measures can be taken to reduce the risk of developing these cancers. Symptoms of cancers affecting the lymphatic system include loss of appetite, energy, and weight, as well as swelling of the glands. As with many cancers, treatment includes surgical removal followed by adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy.

Unlike buying a site built or other kind of home, buying a Manufactured or Factory built home includes an added bonus of a Limited One Year Warranty. Although many things are said even promised about a the warranty, but this is the truth about how it operates. The Home Warranty is explained in your homeowner's manual. That information has been condensed here for easy understanding. Mitchell's is committed to helping today's buyer understand the benefits of today's new generation of factory built homes.
Every New Manufactured home is covered by a 1 (one) year limited warranty. That warranty is not provided by the dealer or the lender. Although there may be times the manufacturer calls upon the dealer to repair a defect covered under the warranty; the warranty is still provided by the manufacturer who built the home.
Even though Mitchell's sells a number of different manufacturers, the warranties still operate the same way.
A limited one year warranty covers the homes electrical components, plumbing components and structure. The appliances such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, range, microwave, water heater, and furnace are covered under a warranty provided by the appliance manufacturer such as GE, Nordyne, Rheem and others. The outside air condenser is covered by its manufacturer and is normally carried by the AC installer.
Cosmetic damage and imperfections are not covered by the Limited Warranty. Although should any of those items have a defect at the time the Home is delivered the Manufacturer will repair or replace or cause such action provided you give the Manufacturer written notice of such damage within thirty (30) days when the home is delivered. It is important to note this exception to the 30 day warranty…If the home receives a factory trim out all cosmetic items will be repaired before the technician leaves the home as long as the cosmetic defects are brought to their attention. Once the walk thru is complete, this will conclude the 30 day warranty.
Each warranty includes a list of items it does not cover and it is important to know what is on that list.
An extended warranty program is available to purchase that will cover the home's electrical and plumbing components, appliances and major structural damage. The extended warranty is not offered by the homes manufacturer, but through another party.
If you have any questions about the home's warranty please don't hestiate to call us for a complete explanation about this added feature to your new home.

Go ahead, judge this book by its cover: Perhaps the single most spectacular release of the season — in terms of presentation, at least — is the 10-pound, Ultrasuede tome Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot(Taschen, 381 pages, $150), created in honor of the director's 95th birthday. Enormous in both size and scope, Hot chronicles — through hundreds of photographs, memorabilia and new interviews with Wilder, Tony Curtis and the late Jack Lemmon — the definitive story behind the legendary 1959 comedy. Also included are first and final drafts of the screenplay, with corresponding film stills running alongside each annotated page. The most unusual feature is an exact replica — down to the worn, yellowed pages — of Marilyn Monroe's tattered personal promptbook containing handwritten notes ("pull skirt down" and "freeze like a bunny"). Pricey, yes, but Wilder and Monroe fans will find this essential.
Gita Wolf and Sirish Rao's retelling of Sophocles' Antigone(Getty Publications, 28 pages, $19)makes for a humbler but equally treasurable volume — a celebration of storytelling, drawing and the art of bookmaking. Each copy of the 4,000-some edition was handcrafted in India, bound with thread, and silk-screened onto paper handmade from cotton rags and wastepaper — you can still smell the ink. Featuring rich, dramatic illustrations by Indrapramit Roy, based on images lifted from ancient Greek pottery, Antigone comes in a hand-folded slipcase.
Dennis Hopper |
The title of celebrity/fashion photographer Roxanne Lowit's short, fat paperback, People(Assouline, 208 pages, $30), is a little misleading, as the cover image suggests: Pamela Anderson slumped languidly in the back seat of a car, her white panties peeking out from under a denim mini. No simple people here, and virtually no text, either — just a steady stream of high-energy, after-dark images of glitterati ranging from Iggy Pop to Paloma Picasso, prowling party circles in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Los Angeles. "My life is filled with the fabulous and the glamorous," Lowit writes. "People, parties, fashion, models, celebrities, drag queens" — all of whom are here in this decadent and visually indulgent glam trip. A nice complement is the very tall, fat Dennis Hopper: 1712 North Crescent Heights(Greybull Press, 180 pages, $75), which offers a narrower, but no less intense, view of '60s celebrity life. Gathered from Hopper's own archives by his daughter Marin, the actor's intimate and often melancholy photographs document a short but tumultuous period in his life — 1962–68, "a horrific time of alcohol and drug use," he writes, but also a "strangely creative time" — and the circle of actors and artists who passed through the family home on Crescent Heights. Together, Hopper's photos provide a panoramic view of that decade's L.A. aesthetic: vintage cars and leggy ladies in polka-dot bikinis, for instance. With an introduction by Hopper's ex-wife Brooke Hayward and a three-way Q&A featuring Hopper, Hayward and Marin, 1712 is a surprisingly honest and deeply personal journey.
The House Book(Phaidon Press, 512 pages, $45) is just that: a book of houses. And architects. And designers. And philosophies of style. The massive, slickly packaged collection showcases 500 different architects, in alphabetical order, with one page/one photo/one blurb for each, and cross-references others working in similar styles. The buildings range from a 16th-century Hindu minister's red-sandstone palace to the decorative, bamboo, tepeelike structures of an Abelam village in northern New Guinea, to iconic Western homes such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and new LACMA architect Rem Koolhaas' OMA house in Bordeaux. This global architectural overview celebrates not only the aesthetic and functional aspects of the home, but the concept, in general, of shelter. In the process, it serves as a resource for the architecturally knowledgeable as well as eye candy for design lovers.
Crosstown |
In her introduction to Crosstown(PowerHouse Books, 192 pages, $75), the most comprehensive collection of Helen Levitt's Manhattan-area photographs yet published, Francine Prose prophetically writes that the artist's pictures "remind us of how rapidly everything changes, of how large a fraction of what we see won't exist in its present form only a heartbeat from now." Like the New York City skyline. Levitt's stark and evocative candids capture a tender side of Manhattan that is more difficult to conjure now: a city of neighborhoods, where small children frolic in spray from street-side hydrants while leathery-faced elders watch from the steps of their brownstones. Levitt is truly an American treasure. Other influential female artists — 93 of them, to be exact — are surveyed in Women Artists in the 20th and 21st Century(Taschen, 576 pages, $40), a thick flexi-bound softcover that profiles, on equal par, both established icons such as Frida Kahlo, Marina Abramovic´, Valie Export and Nan Goldin, and nascent art-world figures like Vanessa Beecroft and L.A.'s Pae White, whose colorful More Birdsprovides the cover art. Each entry contains beautifully reproduced selections from the artist's oeuvre, with commentary, but one of the most enjoyable sections is actually the table of contents, an eight-page compendium of passport-size snapshots of each artist.
Darger |
Though Henrik Drescher is a renowned children's-book illustrator, Turbulence: A Log Book(Chronicle, 80 pages, $23)is clearly intended for adults, laying out the artist's own visual interpretation of the Hindu creation myth. Drescher lets his imagination run rampant here, working in an array of forms — pen and ink, photo collages, watercolors, paper cutouts — and this textured, dense little book is packed with dark drawings, intricate, twisted sketches, and murky illustrations that are childlike and nightmarish at once. If Drescher's slightly psychotic style suggests the outsider, Darger: The Henry Darger Collection at the American Folk Art Museum(Harry N. Abrams, 128 pages, $30) is the real thing. This hardcover catalog, focused on 27 newly acquired works, serves as a primer on the untrained Chicago artist who toiled in secret for years while working as a janitor. Darger's vivid, morally ambiguous paintings — armies of child soldiers in bloody battle, little girls with reptilian tails and small penises, naked children strapped to trees in the midst of a forest fire — are indisputably disturbing yet oddly compelling. An essay by Michel Thévoz offers insight into the artist's reclusive life, and retells the story of how the massive, controversial body of work was discovered by his landlord after Darger's death in 1973.

text: MSF Assisting People Affected by Cyclone in BangladeshNovember 28, 2007Cyclone Sidr, which struck southern Bangladesh on November 15, killed more than 3,000 people and made hundreds of thousands homeless, according to the latest figures from the government of Bangladesh. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is providing assistance to victims in the most remote areas. After visiting villages in the districts of Bhola, Patuakhali, Jhalakati, Pirojpur and Bagherat, MSF has begun medical activities, distributions of relief items, and is working on improving access to clean water. Around Mathbaria, South of Pirojbur district, four mobile clinics are being set up in the areas of Sapelzehat (45,000 habitants) and Betemore (28,000 habitants). "The population has had poor access to health care because the roads have been damaged," said Dr. Peter Reynaud, from Mathbaria. The first two clinics will focus on the riverbank areas where villages have been most heavily hit. The teams will provide treatment for health problems linked to the cyclone, problems such as diarrhea, dysentery, respiratory, and skin infections as well as minor injuries. A delivery of medical equipments and medications is on its way to Mathbaria from Dhaka. A doctor, four nurses, and a pharmacist are also on their way to Mathbaria. In the district of Pirojpur, MSF is also supporting Madbhuri hospital, which was damaged after the cyclone. This hospital is a referral center for a population of 500,000. MSF will also provide medical supplies and technical support for water treatment and waste management. Water is a concern, as some villagers are drinking from contaminated water sources such as ponds. MSF is bringing in water-and-sanitation material, like chlorine and water pumps, to clean and repair water sources in order to improve water quality. These supplies will also be used to build or repair latrines. MSF has begun the distribution of hygiene and household kits in some of the most affected islands of south Bangladesh. In Char Bangla, one of the islands of Galachipa in Patuakhali district, 350 families have received cooking utensils, soaps, blankets and water containers. "Many people there have lost everything," said Tony Marchant, member of the MSF team in Patuakhali. "Access to these islands remains very difficult and people have not been able to receive much aid until now." To cover the needs in some of the other isolated islands in the area, MSF will distribute around 6,000 of these kits. In all locations where MSF is present, the teams are monitoring the health situation and preparing to respond to possible outbreaks of disease. Tags: Bangladesh, Natural Disaster |

If you are considering having a cone biopsy or have one planned, it is important to know all you can about it. This includes:
why you need this operation
what it will be like
how it will affect you
what risks are involved
any alternatives.
The information here is a guide to common medical practice. Each hospital and doctor will have slightly different ways of doing things, so you should follow their guidance where it is different from the information given here. Because all patients, conditions and treatments vary it cannot cover everything. Use this information when making your treatment choices with your doctors. You should mention any worries you have. Remember that you can ask for more information at any time.
You have unhealthy tissue on the lower part of your uterus. This lower part of your uterus is called 'the neck of the uterus' or the cervix.
The cervix is the lowest part of your uterus. It juts into the upper end of your vagina, like an upside down cone. Your cervix has a central hole, or canal, which runs up into the centre of your uterus. The tissue on the outside of your cervix and inside your cervical canal is called epithelium. It is different from the tissue that lines the rest of your uterus, which is called the endometrium.
You have probably had a smear test, where cells are taken from the epithelium tissue that covers your cervix. Under the microscope these cells look like they are starting to become malignant. This process is called neoplasia.
The unhealthy cells are probably intra-epithelial. This means they are still only in the skin and have probably not spread into the deeper parts of your cervix yet. Over years these cells may change to become an invasive cancer. The condition at this stage is called pre-malignant or cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN). There are three levels of CIN; one, two and three. The thicker the affected tissue the higher the CIN level.
CIN is a grading system for changes in the appearance of the cells. A pathologist identifies this in the laboratory. We know that these changes will develop into cancer if left untreated. The cancerous changes usually happen over many years.
To prevent cancer it is sensible to remove the area with the diseased cells. A biopsy means removal of some tissue. We usually only remove small areas on the outside of the cervix to test under the microscope. If we find pre-malignant changes in the inner canal of the cervix we need to remove a bigger, cone shaped piece of tissue. This is called a cone biopsy. We remove the tissue using a knife, a special electric current or a laser.
We aim to remove all of the unhealthy tissue before it changes into invasive cancer. We send the removed tissue to the laboratory for examination under the microscope. Sometimes, the laboratory results suggest that some diseased tissue has been left behind after a cone biopsy. A further biopsy may be needed. Very rarely, the laboratory results show that the disease is beyond the pre-cancer stage. Further treatment is then necessary.
Complete removal of unhealthy CIN tissue from your cervix gives a high chance of a permanent cure. You would have less risk of developing an invasive cancer.
There are various ways of treating the abnormal tissue in your cervix; it can be removed or destroyed. There is a procedure using an electric cutting wire loop; this is called a LLETZ procedure. It is as good as removing the abnormal tissue with a knife (cone biopsy) or laser, unless a large amount of cervix needs to be removed. LLETZ and cone biopsy remove the whole area containing all the cells that could become pre-malignant or develop into cervical cancer.
Destroying the abnormal tissue using a laser, cold coagulation and cryotherapy treats just the part of the cervix that contains abnormal cells. This allows normal cells to grow back in their place.
The advantage of a removal over destruction is that the removed tissue can be sent for examination to make sure all of the CIN tissue has gone. Other treatments destroy the tissue, so it cannot be sent for examination.
If you are past the menopause or have had all the children you want, your doctor may suggest a hysterectomy, where the whole of your uterus is removed. This is more likely if you have had abnormal cells found on your cervix more than once or if severe abnormality was found.
The lower levels of CIN may sometimes get better without treatment. You may decide to wait and see if this happens for you. You would need frequent smear tests and examinations of your cervix over several years to see if the tissue is returning to normal. The tissue is less likely to recover if you smoke.
If you do not have treatment for a higher level of CIN, there is high chance of cancer developing in your cervix in the future. If you develop cancer the treatment will involve extensive surgery. Curing a cancer is much more difficult. Removing the pre-cancerous changes before they get to this stage is a much simpler operation.

Hotel doesn't Trust its customers
Posted Oct 18, 2013Housekeeping tried to enter 20 minutes before checkout time, than we received a phone call from the front desk at 11:59 am one minute to checkout time letting us know we needed to checkout. We brought our things to our vehicle before checking out and tried to reenter the hotel throught the backdoor but our card had been shut off. What if I forgot things in my room as I walked out? What a pain. When I checked out, at 12:07 pm, I complained to the gal, Bridgette, at the front desk only to have her answer the phone while I was talking and did not ask the line to hold, she began to make a reservation. Extremely rude, poor service. Also, expedia said they have tubs in their rooms. They do not have tubs at all! Only a pool.

Fantastic Stay
Posted Aug 26, 2013 on Hotels.comFriendly, knowledgeable staff always willing to help with tourist and local information. Good location for independent travellers (with a large shopping centre across the road - walmart, restaurants etc). Gym and pool very good. Hearty breakfast. Free shuttle to rail/airport. Clean, well maintained and quiet. We would definately stay here again and would highly recommend to others. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us!

View of Denali from our room!
Posted Jul 20, 2013 on Hotels.comThis was a good base for a stay in Fairbanks, and with a couple of clear days, we could see Denali in all its snowy glory. The hotel is clean and attractive and the staff friendly. However, be aware that Hampton have a policy of not allowing staff to make up the beds if there is any personal item on them. This includes nightwear neatly folded under the pillows. Not something we have ever met anywhere in the world before, we found out the hard way after a long day trip to Barrow, getting back after midnight to find unmade beds. We had no warning of this. I would avoid staying in a Hampton again for this reason.

Strange policy
Posted Jul 17, 2013 on Hotels.comThis was a comfortable place to stay, easy to access for a visitor to Fairbanks. The room was spacious and pleasant. However, we were astonished to find out the hard way about Hampton Inn's policy for bed making. It has always been our habit to fold nightwear neatly and place under the pillow. On returning to the hotel after midnight following a strenuous day trip to the north coast, we found the beds unmade. On enquiring the next day, we were told that if there was any personal item on the bed, it would not be touched. Apparently someone had complained, and this is now the chain's policy. Consequently, it is unlikely we shall book with them again. We have never met this anywhere else in the world, including the US, and were quite astonished.

Good hotel and nice staff!
Posted Jul 10, 2013 on Hotels.comI greatly enjoyed staying at America's (or world's?) northernmost Hampton Inn! The staff was friendly, and the rooms were comfortable (stayed in two separate rooms - a king room and a double room - due to schedule changes in the travel group). The king room was a little strange because the bed faced the window, but maybe that's just me. It definitely wouldn't stop me from staying there again. The hotel was clean and I would gladly recommend it to others. Shopping and restaurants are convenient too.

As much as I admire Bernie Sanders and the idea of single-payer, it won't work on the state level. The only solution is a single-payer system on the national level, i.e. Medicare for all US citizens and legal residents.
The problem is a national one. Single payer can help control costs but any state, let alone, a tiny state like Vermont, can't control costs that are being driven by national companies and trends.
A lot of comments by others are blaming Obama but that's just dumb, dumb, dumb.
Increasing private health insurance costs aren't something new - it's a trend that's been going on for years. We have the most expensive health insurance system in the world - by far, and costs have been accelerating for years as well.
We have a system that fundamentally doesn't work, yet we keep jerry-rigging "solutions" to a Rube Goldberg creation that's bankrupting us collectively and many of us individually.
It's pathetic that we can't come up with a solution that works.
Our options are in fact quite simple, based on what works in other countries:
1. A nationalized health system
2. A single payer system.
3. A highly regulated and subsidized private, non-profit private insurance system.
That's it; those are the options. An employer-based, and single-subscriber, lightly regulated private system DOES NOT WORK WELL. It's extremely unfair, leaves a lot of people uninsured and is EXPENSIVE FOR EVERYONE.

My wife stayed here. Well, actually, we had reservations there, but after she'd been there a couple of hours she begged me to go elsewhere. It was the dirtiest hotel room she'd ever been in, and the neighborhood was awful. She felt very unsafe there. So we found another hotel, and she spent night there, instead.
