In her medical practice, she specializes in face, breast, and body procedures and on breast reconstruction after cancer. Nonsurgical services at Roxy include injectables and laser treatments as well as facial treatments performed by a medical aesthetician with more than 18 years of experience.
Tending to bodies for more than 30 years, The Skin Center Medical Spa enhances innate beauty through noninvasive laser treatments, anti-aging skin therapies, and cosmetic enhancements. Conceived by Dr. Dominic Brandy, the current medical director at three Pittsburgh locations, and overseen by the Columbus location's medical director, Dr. Fernando Colon, the minimally invasive QuickLift mini face-lift helps tighten the lower face, neck, and jawline with a dramatically shortened recovery time. The Skin Center's experts revitalize all components of the face, targeting veins, hair, or Mona Lisa?shaped birthmarks through surgical solutions and high-tech injections. Vascular surgeons Dr. Jerome Itzkoff and Dr. Marios Panayides and specialize in minimally invasive surgeries such as such as endovenous laser ablation, phlebectomy, and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy to serve skin below the head.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Haroon Aziz has worked to narrow the distinction between cosmetic surgery and art. He brings his ambitions and extensive medical expertise to Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, Inc., where he oversees surgical procedures that range from face-lifts and blepharoplasty to tummy tucks. Dr. Aziz always prepares patients for major procedures with a thorough examination and consultation, during which he presents myriad image-altering options and recommends solutions based on the client's needs and preferences. Despite his wide-ranging expertise, including Botox injections, the doctor refuses to put on a one-man show, and instead relies on a licensed aesthetician to rejuvenate appearances with noninvasive treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion facials.
Beyond its rust-and-silver-hued metal sign, Monarch Health's patients meet with Dr. Deborah Cole-Sedivy and an adept medical staff of certified nurse practitioners. In the cosmetic-therapy center, a trio of LightSheer Duet lasers scours skin's excess fuzz. Medical staffers bustle to and fro, working to personalize aesthetic services, such as facials and chemical peels, and families mosey into appointments for health surveys, physical examinations, and diet-and-lifestyle assessments. Therapists augment many treatment plans with natural foods and herbal supplements, which use Mother Earth's bounty to boost health without the dangers of bench-pressing a seemingly lonely bear cub.
The medical staff at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery has the clinical knowledge and artistic touch to transform patients from head to toe—and they have the awards to prove it. The team includes four board-certified plastic surgeons with more than 50 years of combined experience: Drs. Timothy Treece, Susan Vasko, Robert Heck, and John Wakelin. All four were ranked top 5 doctors for plastic surgery in the 2010 Docs Rate Docs survey conducted by the Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-TV. More recently, Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery earned the 2012 Consumers' Choice Award in aesthetic medicine, and as also named a top aesthetic medicine practice and laser hair removal center in the 2012 Readers Choice Awards of ThisWeek News. The center has also earned prestigious Diamond-level provider status from Allergan, the maker of Botox. These four caring doctors can perform cosmetic surgical procedures on virtually any body parts.
Within the medical spa and laser center at CAPS, the skilled staff offers laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation. The med spa's licensed aestheticians brighten complexions with skin treatments ranging from exfoliating chemical peels to permanent makeup that eliminates the need for applying lipstick or smooching the Kool-Aid man. Full-service practice and medical-spa locations can be found in Upper Arlington and Easton Town Center, while additional med-spa locations are founds in the Salon Lofts in Hilliard, Dublin, and Westerville.
The medical team at Facial Cosmetic Center at Ohio ENT uses its extensive knowledge and experience to enhance clients' natural beauty in a clinical setting. Physician David Powell, MD is certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to perform a variety of cosmetic procedures. He transforms features with techniques such as corrective nose surgery, neck lifts, and eyelid rejuvenations, and combat wrinkles with injectables and fillers including Botox and Juvéderm. The doctor relies on the skincare expertise of managing aestheticians Julie Panzera and Amber Preston, who regularly train aestheticians and medical professionals on aesthetic treatments such as chemical peels and makeup application. Dr. Powell and Panzera have appeared on Fox 28 to discuss the benefits of mini face-lifts, which only require local anesthetic and a lulling recitation of The Iliad.

The Chattanooga city council meets in this file photo.Photo by Dan Henry /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The Chattanooga City Council is set to vote tonight on abolishing the joint library board between the city and Hamilton County and establishing a new seven-member board run strictly by the city.
Mayor Ron Littlefield gave council members a list of seven names today. Four of the nominations are current board members.
The nominations include:
- Herbert Cohn
- Tom Griscom
- Mai Bell Hurley
- Jim Kennedy III
- Chrystal Partridge
- Karen McMahon
- Theresa Liedtka
For complete details, read tomorrow's Times Free Press.
Another one-sided, pro-Republican story from Cliff Hightower.
What is going to happen to the library branches in the county? Apparently, they will be abandoned and leaderless under this plan. Those employees deserve better. We notice that no critical questions about this serious and directly destructive event were asked by the reporter covering this disaster.
This is a major problem. Once again, your city reporter turns a blind eye to the horrifying and serious ramifications of another corrupt politicians self-serving lies. Get in there and report the full facts about what is going on.
How about some questions for the previous board on why none of the substantive organizational changes that were needed - and outlined in that 2009 consultants report taxpayers paid a mint for - were ever implemented? When will we start asking for some accountability and improvements? The library system is as awful as it was five years ago.

About Tom Wunder
The Wunder family lives in Boulder, CO. We are a husband, wife and a teen girl. We enjoy traveling, snow sports, contemporary art, fine wines and gourmet meals. We moved from Santa Fe to Boulder to take advantage of the outdoor sports and athletic mindset that prevails in Colorado and Boulder especially.
Tom Wunder purchased this lodge in 2009
Why Tom Wunder chose Granby
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), wildlife, fishing, hiking, canoeing, skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, horse back riding, golfing, snow shoeing, lakes, and sledding are a few of the reasons we chose to build in Grand County. There is aggressive hiking for the adventurous, beautiful less strenuous hikes along the Colorado River, and, at dusk, some of the best animal watching on the planet. Grand Lake is an unpretentious western town with the deepest lake in Colorado. We would say Grand County is a true reflection of what Colorado is all about!
What makes this lodge unique
The views transport you and it is easy to spend hours on the porch or looking out the windows watching the colors, the sky, and the animals come and go. This lodge realizes all the images we hold of what a 'lodge' is: the hearth, the warmth, the beauty, the serenity, the comfort, the quiet, nature finding her way into the home. The windows are abundant allowing guests to enjoy all the views.
Cooking at the lodge is a communal experience with the kitchen producing meals that everyone proudly takes ownership of--crepes are a lodge favorite. On the wraparound covered porch is a large grill and a picnic table for 14-16 people. There are plenty of rockers on the porch for everyone to sit outside--chipmunks and humming birds are regular visitors.
If puzzles and games strike your fancy, there are dozens from which to choose. If you are a film buff, we have a serious collection of DVD's you can enjoy on our large screen. A beautiful llama and alpaca farm can be visited across the road.

Taylor Signs With BearsPosted by on March 5, 2010 – 3:30 pm
One of the most frequent subjects of blog entries on vikings.com over the last several weeks has decided to part ways with the Vikings and join the Chicago Bears.
RB Chester Taylor, an unrestricted free agent (UFA) as of late last night, agreed to a deal with the Bears today that will reportedly pay him $12.5 million over the next 4 years, including $7 million in guaranteed money. The development ends Taylor's career with the Vikings after 4 seasons.
Signed by the Vikings before the 2006 season, Taylor's 1st season in Purple was a good one. He rushed for 1,216 yards and 6 TDs on 303 carries in 15 games. But then the Vikings drafted Adrian Peterson in 2007 and Taylor saw his role reduced. Still, though, Taylor was valuable to the Vikings because of his pass blocking and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
But every player has a price and perhaps Taylor's price wasn't worth it for the Vikings. Or perhaps Taylor wasn't interested in staying with the Vikings, regardless of their offer, and instead wanted to move on to another team in the hopes of more opportunity.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Taylor is a member of the Bears and the Vikings are now able to participate in the UFA market. Under the new rules that govern the 2010 league year, teams that participated in the AFC or NFC Championship Game are not allowed to sign a UFA until they lose one of their own.
The Vikings have now lost one of their own and they can pursue and sign another UFA, with the 1st year compensation not to exceed that which Taylor will earn in Chicago.

I have said this before, losing Chester is a huge hit for this team, and to lose him to the Bears, a team in our own division…………come on ! What were they thinking? He should have been the #1 player to not let go, with A.P. and his fumbling problem that keeps getting worse….come on !
By Skyler on Mar 5, 2010 | Reply
Thank you very much for your time with us Chester. It is a tough pill to swallow to see you leave, but I understand why you must go. Good luck to 14 out of your 16 games next year!!! Just kidding. It will be cool to see you and AP go head to head. I just hope we can fill that slot.

Are the Vikes going after anyone? Do we not need a secondary? Someone to replace E.J. ? Because he won't be ready for this season! Come on Vikes…keep it up and you won't even win the Division….and we all know how you play away from home……..you need the Division and home field throughout! Get busy !!!!

Losing Taylor was a hit, but he got offered a pretty sweet deal in Chicago. What if he gets hurt? He still gets $7 million. This is business and Taylor took the better money. Bears are making some moves and will be a much better team with the additions. Vikings moves now should be interesting to watch.

I am begging the Vikes…PLEEEEAAASE….
Get that kid Lefevour in the draft. Forget all the free agent stuff. This kid Lefevour is the real deal. Trade up and get him. Pass on the rest….McCoy, Tebow, even Bradford. Get the kid.

RELAX Vikings fans. Rick Spielman, VP of player operations, has done an amazing job of putting together a superbowl roster, through free agency and the draft. He and his staff are busy right now doing that very thing. Take a deep breath- we will be fine!

Chester's contract with the bears doesnt leave us much wiggle room, unless a big name FA really wants to come with us, and will structure a garbage first season contract, for big one later in the years to follow the rules. Chester obviously just wanted to get paid. Vikings then Packers, THEN the bears is the pecking order in the NFC north. Good bye Chester, look foward to EJ blowing you up in the backfield. Im so disappointed in him its not even funny. I like him a lot, but to sign with the bears of all teams…thats a wound that cuts too deep. Sorry CT, I wish you a healthy career, but I will enjoy watching us show you the error of your ways. Good Luck with a QB who thinks his teamates are on defense!

nooooo chester "just as good" taylor why wouldnt they keep hiim he is such a solid player specially to a rival?????? I hope we sign thomas jones he might be a good back up player that can run without fumbling
By vikescot on Mar 5, 2010 | Reply
Relax, what are you talking about…..This supposed Spielman genius along w/ the other chillydip heads still have us sucking air if Brett decides to retire!!!!!!! I was not a proponent of hitching all of horses up to the Brett F. chuck wagon only because he has played this retirement thing out far to long and if we get stuck holding the bag (he retires) we are left w/ Sage and TJ !!!!!!! Free agency will be over and all the viable QB will be gone!!!!! Another 2008 season w/ a wasted year of AD legs……I was impressed and proud to be a Viking fan (minus the N. O. loss) but I believe Cutler could have done the same thing….He would be there as long as AD is cutting up and over guys like Gay from Pitt. Steelers…. Brett was and is a great player and preformed at an incredibly high level..Losing Chester was another demoralizing step ,to the Bears…He will unload his Intellctuall property rights on the Vikes to the Bears. Bet on it…Hope Brett comes back I guess thats the only choice our "GENIUSES" have left us with….Man do I hate not having more OPTIONS. Great season , lots of fun to watch but we needed ONE more WIN and then we had the SuperBowl WON!!!!
By Jess on Mar 5, 2010 | Reply
Why did we let Chester sign with the Bears?? A division rival?? 12.5 million is not that much for a running back as versatile as Chester. We should have tried harder to keep him. Even if we sign Westbrook or LT I am still disappointed! Chester does not have near the wear and tear on his body as those guys. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We better do something.

I have to agree with vikescot…the last thing you want to do is relax. Being a lifelong bears fan and living next door to a lifelong vikes fan, this move has made me smile….I wont go as far as making any bold predictions as far as next season goes, but getting CT along with Peppers certainly is a plus. But anyone who knows anything about football knows that no matter how many Pro bowlers you have , staying healthy is the key to winning. Vikes were very fortunate all year with Farve, Peterson and Rice not hurt not to even mention Harvin and the defense. If BF goes down[odds are catching up with him} and AP tweaks a knee or ankle it aint gonna be pretty. Trust me ..I know all about that kinda thing…You dont just go out and find a quality rb like CT everyday. And no disrespect but I think the only thing AP has on CT is he's younger and stronger…..but CT is Hands down[pun intended] the better ball handler….Yah….go ahead and relax….but keep looking over your shoulder !!

I will say again, "RELAX". The Vikings remain the superior team in the NFC North. This was strictly a business decision for Chester Taylor. The Vikings will miss him as a team player, however this team is loaded with talent, and they will replace him- whether that's in free agency or in the draft. As far as the Brett situation, the Vikings are conducting business as if he's not coming back, however I believe he will. The bears are still looking up at the Vikings and the packers despite these free agent moves, and they know it. Sit back and watch the remainder of the free agency period, tune in for the draft, and reserve your criticism until pre-season. I promise not to say " I told you so".

Football is a business. Winning Super Bowls is a bonus. It all comes down to dollars and cents. Whichever businessmen (read players) work together the best get the bonus (read Super Bowl rings).

Bottom line.. CT was always gonna leave the moment he got an offer that gave him the guaranteed $$$ that he got.. Not to mention for a guy whos only been a feature back for one season probly looked at forte's season and thinks he has a better chance at being the no 1 guy in chicago than in minn.. Forget LT hes washed up and he still thinks hes the no 1 back in the league.. Westbrook hasnt even been medically cleared yet, if he does get cleared hes only one concussion away from retirement so maybe a conditional contract with performance incentives.. In the draft running back is one of the, if not the deepest positions in the entire draft and you can easily find solid contributors outside of the 1st & 2nd rounds.. It's no secret we need help in the secondary and I think Antrel Rolle would be a good addition to the roster given that he is only 27, was a 2009 pro bowl selection and was released by the cardinals and isnt an UFA and therefore there isnt a limitation on negotiations.. and there is no doubt he is an instant upgrade over Madieu Williams and he also has the versatility to play at corner.. Williams could possibly be traded for an extra pick in this years draft or a conditional pick in next years draft..

Spielman's hands are tie while waiting for Favre decision.
That 13 million bucks could have been used to retain Taylor or pursue other free agents.
It'll only get worse as the draft gets nearer.

OK, we need the man who -made- the jests ground game awesome- JONES !!!
westbrook could play 1 game-hit in the head-and done-and so would the vikes,and oh,sorry l.t.is not the hard nose rusher we need,sign JONES-get the CB from the colts,,,,,and our QB will be back !
this isn't brain surgery— let's see if anyone is smart enough to think straight.

Not necessarily paul.. with the uncapped year that really shouldnt be an issue.. we may well have matched chicago's offer and CT just decided he wanted a fresh start and chance to compete for a starting job something he never would of got with the vikes..

oh by the way,,,rick above is RIGHT ON THE MARK— take LeFevour,he is exatly what we need for the future,one year behind brett to learn,,,the guy reads defense , who ever gets him will get another guy like Peyton,,,we got lucky with Brett, EVERY other old-reject QB we have gotten was a dud,go through them,,,and If you think either of the 2 clip board men we have will get us anywhere—forget it. we need to build a franchise.

Brian Westbrook would be a nice replacement for Taylor. While he has some injury concerns, he has the ability to be just as if not more productive than Taylor would be, and most likely at a cheaper price too.

Losing Chester to the Bears: It's not that big of a deal. Get over it. He was GOOD, but not a game changer. We still have the core of our team. AP will continue to get better at the fundamentals (like not fumbling!!) The running game is not a weakness for the Vikes. I hope we get a CB and an O-lineman. ZP.

The Vikings would not have let Chester go if they didn't have a brilliant plan. I see this as an opportunity to bring in a new running back that will compete against adrian, which will fire adrian up even more. I am guessing the ground game will be more productive this coming year. I like the idea of bringing in L.T. because Adrian made a comment in an interview in 2009 about L.T. that kinda burned him a little. Those two backs would probably try to show each other up which would make a big competitive fire. Also, imagine how much attention that would draw with Tomlinson in the backfield behind Favre. One NFL MVP handing off to another NFL MVP…pretty wild.

Remember what Chester did in Pittsburgh………………….are you kidding me? One wrong doesn't erase about 30 third down conversions and the peace of mind he gave us when A.P. was put on the side lines because he didn't or doesn't understand that the football stays in his arms…not the other teams!

Vikes will probably draft a rb in the later rounds, albert young should be able to get the job done if his number is called he is not as flashy as taylor but will bruise and pound is way up the middle and grind it out and wear out defenses. He is also a good pass receiving rb from what I see.

When A.P. has already been stripped twice before the half and we are sitting at 4-3 and in second place behind the packers at 6-1 ….all of you are going to be saying, "Why did we let Chester go?" WWWWHHHHYYYYYYYY ! Before A.P., Chester was our #1 BACK! That's why the Bears payed him what they did…….we had two #1 Backs….and all of you so so Chester leaving will be all right crowd…..you better hope A.P. doesn't go down early in the season with a major injury…..because at that point…..you can mail in the season! OH…don't think Brett isn't watching this either…..you just let his 3rd down dump off leave !

Chester gets an opportunity to be the number one for an NFL team before he retires, wish it wasn't for the Bears, but good for him. This decision was not a shock, the response by some of these fans ripping on Childress and Spielman is shocking. They put together, just a month ago, the greatest Vikings team I have ever watched. THe thing that a good back like CT masks, and really needs to be addressed is that offensive line. Even more than Brett Favre coming back or not, the offensive line issues will stop this team from being world champions if they don't do something to solidify it.

WE NEED SECONDARY HELP ! Taylor Mays from USC(Remember #47) would be awesome. Chesters going to regret leaving the Vikings. The Bears O-line is not as good as ours, ask Matt Forte. Adrian Peterson & Chris Johnson are the best running backs in the NFL. Lucky for us we have one of them. Anybody behind Adrian will have success. They wont have to face 8 or 9 in the box like AP does. Winfield is older,Griffins knee,Madieu hasnt played well, ETC. We need help in this department ! We have the pass rush & run stopping ability, now we need to stop the passing game, via more INTs. We did not have many of those last year.

Let's dump Tarvaris Jackson…he has had plenty of opporunity and still has not shown anything…Even if Favre comes back we need a franchise QB for the future…and Chilly…TJ is NOT it…a new QB could learn a tremedous amount from Favre….

good for chester he has a legit chance at being #1 rb on a team (he deserves it). blows he went to rival team but it happens. i hope the viking organization knows what they're doing. i've seen a few db's that would have been nice to have; go else where. as far as i'm concerned ap is an every down back now. he was told he couldn't be a third down back so what did he do, he worked on it all off season and proved everyone wrong. bet you he'll do the same with the fumbleitas. we have two running backs (johnson and young) that can still fill in to give ap a breather. o-line and db's in the draft is my early xmas wish. a middle line backer, qb, and def lineman i wouldn't mind having either.

old and sucks? how many playoff wins does worthless jay cutler have. and it's not unexpected the bears are already this agressive in the free angency becasue they were stupid enough to trade their first and second round draft picks for that loser. are the teddy bears going to go 8-8 now with a running back who only had 1 touchdown for the vikings? nah. that will be an over statement, they'll probably go 7-9 again.

Some of the posts are unbelivably stupid. Saying that Farve can't play, with the year he just had, the best year of his career statistically, is moronic. Anyone who believes that, has the inteligence of a buffalo chip. Chester leaving is a big loss but he is not irreplacable. IF, and that is a big IF, Westbrook is healthy and willing to play a 3rd down backup role he would be a good fit, he already knows the offense. I have had thoughts of LT also but I agree that it wouldn't work because he is not willing to play the backup role and there has likely been to much smack talk between him and AP for them to be good teammates. Also there are at least 30 teams in the NFL that wish they had our starter, who by the way had 90 receptions last year and can do the same things chester did on 3rd down if we draft a young guy to come in on 1st or 2nd down to rest AP occasionally. Anyone who thinks chester is as good a RB as AP is simply a fool. Defensive coordinators aren't going to spend the whole week preparing to try to keep chester under control like they do with Adrian. Come on people! Adrian mostly loses the ball when he is fighting for more yards while being gang tackled. He has to learn to just go down. Best situation, we use a 2nd or 3rd round pick to bring in a young RB with fresh legs. RB is deep in this draft and it isn't hard to get quality in 3rd round, look at the Jets rookie last year.

Everybody keeps talking about Spielman and his brillance? This is 1 of the IDOTS responsible for trading 2-3rd rounds picks to move up in the draft to pick TSuck Jackson who every other team had as no better than a 5th rounder on thier warboards. Why draft a running back, teach him the playbook, and then HOPE he turns out when we had Chester? Oh and yeah, letting Matt Birk go free agent was another brilliant move and so all of a sudden there is no hole up the middle for AP to run through but defending pass rushers found a hole right over center to the tune of 5 sacks allowed. Ditch Speilman, tar & feather Chilly, and behead the moronic special teams coaches!

Who cares about peppers? he dosn't play with the determination to win, he plays with the determination to be the biggest paid defensive player in the NFL. And he didn't beat the vikings by himslef, they won because matt moore had a field day. He only had 10.5 sacks in 2009, Allen had four more.

It's a shame to lose Chester, but he's a starter quality back that wants his shot at the bigtime. Can't blame him. While we need to replace him, that is not the highest priority. To keep Farve we have to keep improving the O-line. Need to replace Hicks with the best available. Also, big Pat may retire and leave a big hole in the Williams wall. Probably need to solve for that in free agency as well. Draft for safeties and cover corners…but you want proven vets in the trenches.

IMP3 is a novel biomarker for adenocarcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix: an immunohistochemical study in comparison with p16(INK4a) expression
PubMed ID
UMMS Affiliation
Department of Pathology
Document Type
Adenocarcinoma; Adult; Carcinoma in Situ; Cervix Uteri; Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p16; Female; Fluorescent Antibody Technique, Indirect; Humans; Immunoenzyme Techniques; Middle Aged; Neoplasm Proteins; RNA-Binding Proteins; Tumor Markers, Biological; Uterine Cervical Neoplasms
Life Sciences | Medicine and Health Sciences
Adenocarcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix remains a diagnostic challenge in a small proportion of cases. This suggests a need for biomarker that may be of help in establishing the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a) as biomarkers for adenocarcinoma in situ. Forty-four samples of adenocarcinoma in situ from 40 patients and 23 control cases of benign uterine cervix were included in this study. In addition to benign endocervical epithelium, 19 of these 23 control cases also showed focal tubal metaplasia. Cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 was identified in 41 (93%) adenocarcinoma in situ samples, among which, 29 (71%), 10 (24%), and 2 (5%) samples showed insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 positive staining in 50% or more, >5 to <50 and><5% of adenocarcinoma in situ lesional cells, respectively. Immunohistochemical reaction intensity for insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 was found to be strong in 34 adenocarcinoma in situ samples, intermediate in five, and weak in two. All 23 control cases were negative for insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3. p16(INK4a) expression was identified in all of the adenocarcinoma in situ samples with intermediate staining intensity seen in seven samples and strong in the remainder. Fourteen of 19 (74%) tubal metaplasia cases showed p16(INK4a) immunoreactivity in >50% of the tubal metaplastic epithelium with staining intensity ranging from weak to strong. Our findings demonstrate significant expression of insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein 3 and p16(INK4a) in adenocarcinoma in situ as compared to benign endocervical glands, suggesting that expression of these biomarkers may be helpful in the distinction of adenocarcinoma in situ from benign endocervical glands, particularly in difficult borderline cases.

STD is a Linux-based Security Tool. Actually, it is a collection of
hundreds if not thousands of open source security tools. It's a Live
Linux Distro, which means it runs from a bootable CD in memory without
changing the native operating system of the host computer. Its sole purpose
in life is to put as many security tools at your disposal with as slick
an interface as it can.
STD is meant to be used by both novice and professional security personnel
but is not ideal for the Linux uninitiated. STD assumes you know the
basics of Linux as most of your work will be done from the command line.
If you are completely new to Linux, it's best you start with another
live Distro like Knoppix to practice the basics (see faq).

In addition to representing the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority, today's speaker also has ties to Rotary through Janine Payton and David Keller. But we let her speak anyway!
Andrea Mackenzie is the General Manager of the SCC OSA.
Santa Clara County Open Space Authority is an independent special district – rather than a part of county government – and is governed by an elected board of directors.
Its jurisdiction is all of Santa Clara County with the exception of lands and communities within the boundaries of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and the city of Gilroy. The cities of Milpitas, Santa Clara, Campbell, San Jose and Morgan Hill participate in OSA.
The purpose of the Open Space Authority is to preserve key portions of the natural environment in order to balance continuing urban growth. Buying land, acquiring easements, contributing funds to joint conservation efforts, and careful land management are OSA's major preservation tools.
The Authority was created by the state legislature at the urging of community leaders who saw the importance of maintaining the ecological integrity of the region. A Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) continues to serve as a community liaison.
The Authority is funded primarily through a special benefit assessment. Grants and gifts are another source of revenue.
In conjunction with the City of San Jose's Great American Litter Pickup and in honor of Earth Day, the City of Campbell will be hosting its tenth community cleanup on Saturday, April 21st, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm at Los Gatos Creek County Park.
Our cleanup will focus on five locations, Los Gatos Creek County Park, the Los Gatos Creek Trail, the freeway on and off ramps at Camden and Highway 17, along the railroad tracks adjacent to Winchester Boulevard at Hacienda, and some graffiti cleanup in our City.
If you didn't know that San Jose State University has a racing team, you do now!
SJSU Spartan Racing is the San Jose State University student chapter of the SAE International, formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Students accept the challenge of organizing a team to design, build, amrket and compete three different vehicles; Formula SAE, Mini Baja SAE and Formula Hybrid SAE (Electric). Their goal is to give members a chance to utilize the knowledge attained at SJSU and apply it in the "real world," giving them the competitive edge when joining the workforce after graduation.
In addition to competing in SAE events, the racing club also works "outside the track" representing their club and supporting other racers in our community. They are the number one performing team in California (#1 in CA, #16 nationally, and 57th out of 481 teams in the World), and are working to help other teams improve their results.

Biketoberfest fears fewer motorcyclists

Motorcyclists from across the country will ride through Volusia County this week as Biketoberfest returns in a few days.
But a new report shows that in each recent year, fewer bikers have come to the signature event in Daytona Beach.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal was told by the event's organizers that the steady drop-off for the last couple of years has Volusia business owners worried.
Some are concerned that the event doesn't appeal to the younger generation, so organizers have developed a marketing plan to lure back bikers that have attended the event previously.
Biketoberfest 2013 runs from Thursday, October 17

Soc FAQ
A. You have a number of resources to help you plan your academic career:
The University Catalog (http://www.gvsu.edu/catalog/) explains both major and general education requirements.
The Office of General Education website (http://www.gvsu.edu/gened/) has helpful information as well.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) Academic Advising Center (http://www.gvsu.edu/clasadvising/) is also a valuable resource.
You can download Major and Minor worksheets from the Department of Sociology website (http://www.gvsu.edu/soc-dept/).
Avail your self of these resources and MEET WITH YOUR ADVISER.
A. Yes. It is very important that you take responsibility for planning your academic career. When you meet with your advisor be prepared to discuss where you are now academically and where you would like to go.
A. If you declared your major, you received an email confirmation of your advisor assignment. This is the person in the academic department that can best assist you.
To look up this information:
To look up this information:
· log into MyBanner
· Click on Student and Financial Aid tab
· Select Student Records
· Select View Major and Advisor Information
If you have not yet declared your major, but have decided upon one, you are encouraged to officially declare your major. This allows you to receive the information you need for that major and to be assigned an advisor. Please pick up a Major Declaration Form from the Records Office, 150 Student Services.
You also are free to talk to faculty or advising centers related to majors or minors that you are simply interested in exploring. The more you ask, the more you'll know!
Q. I want to register for a course that has a prerequisite. Can I use a course other than the one listed as a prerequisite instead?
A. In almost all cases, the answer is no. Specific courses are designated as prerequisites because they prepare you in specific ways for the course you are about to take.
Q. I want to enroll for a course in the Summer Session. I am already enrolled for the prerequisite in the Spring Session but Banner won't let me register. What should I do?
A. In most cases Banner allows you to register for a course if you are already registered for its prerequisite course in an earlier semester. Unfortunately, Banner recognizes Spring and Summer as one semester so you will need an override. Go to http://www.gvsu.edu/soc-dept/student-forms-91.htm , print out the "Prerequisite Override Request Form:" and follow the instructions.
Q. I took a prerequisite at another school but it isn't on my records yet and this is preventing me from registering for a class I need to take. Whatever shall I do?
A. Go to http://www.gvsu.edu/soc-dept/student-forms-91.htm , print out the "Prerequisite Override Request Form:" and follow the instructions.
Q. I have registered for a prerequisite at another school but it hasn't started yet and this is preventing me from registering for a class I need to take. Whatever shall I do?
A. Go to http://www.gvsu.edu/soc-dept/student-forms-91.htm , print out the "Intent to Take Prerequisite:" form and follow the instructions.
A. We do our very best to offer as many courses we can at a variety of times, however; resources are finite and high demand classes will fill up and close quickly. An approved Closed Class Permit Request Form is necessary in order to add yourself to a full class. Such approval is often impossible because the size of classrooms often prevents us from adding students and it is always the case that adding additional students to a class significantly changes the educational experience for all (in a negative way).
A. AVOID THIS SITUATION AT ALL COSTS. There may be nothing you can do. PLAN AHEAD. This is one reason why it is very important that you work with your advisor on planning your schedule well in advance. You should be planning at least two years ahead.
Meet with your advisor at least once per semester
Register for classes as soon as Banner opens up for your class and position in the alphabet
Be flexible – you must be willing to adjust your academic and personal schedule to find an open section before you can ask for a closed class permit.
Q. The department website has worksheets with two different sets of requirements for the major. What's up?
As of Fall Semester 2010 the requirements for both the Sociology Major and Minor have changed significantly. This is why you will hear your advisor and others talk about the New Program and the Old Program.
According to University rules you are subject to the requirements of the catalog year in effect when you first enrolled (as long as it hasn't been more than eight years since then). Students enrolled previous to Fall 2010 must meet the requirements of the Old Program but can choose the New Program if they like. If your first semester at GVSU was Fall 2010 or later then you are part of the New Program.
This is often the case. Often, but not always. For example, Soc280 counts as General Education credit. It can also count as one of your electives within the Sociology Major, however; there is a limit to the number of 200 level courses that can count toward your major. If you have exceeded that limit then Soc280 would satisfy only the General Education requirement.
A. Right now we have former Soc majors and minors who are in graduate schools, who are elementary, high school, and university teachers, and who work in law enforcement. One runs children's playground activities for Grand Rapids, one is a local arts administrator, another is a local TV news producer, some are traveling with the Peace Corps., one co-ordinates womens' health centers in Northern California with Americorps. Another is an ordained minister. Obviously there are a lot of possibilities!
Some career paths require education beyond the Bachelor's Degree but many do not. Generally speaking the Sociology Degree prepares you for employment in the areas of:
Human Resource Management (Human Resources Manager, Affirmative Action Coordinator, Employee Benefits Manager, Public Relations….)
Public Employment (Federal, State, County, City… Legislative Aide, Inspector, Policy Analyst….)
Teaching (From Kindergarten to Higher Ed…..)
Human Services (Community Health, Crisis Intervention, Immigration Assistance, Home Health, Philanthropic Management…)
Research and Data Analysis (Public Policy, Marketing, Federal and State Agencies, Industry…)
Make an appointment or drop by to see your advisor to discuss career possibilities RIGHT NOW. The earlier you start planning the better positioned you will be at graduation. Get started NOW. You can always change your mind. (In fact, we encourage that.)
A. Again, get started NOW. Again, talk with your advisor. You will want to build a portfolio of work, research experiences, and relationships with faculty. You will need time to do this. Our grads find opportunities in excellent graduate schools and the sooner you get started the better off you will be.
A. The sooner you act the better. Take Action Right Now!
Learn about positions and job titles. (www.online.onetcenter.org is a good start.)
Meet with your advisor and plan to take classes that enhance the skills you will need for your chosen career direction.
Sign up for Soc490 and do an INTERNSHIP!

Three people are dead after a fiery crash involving three semi–trucks and a car on Interstate 90 Friday afternoon. I–90 was closed in both directions near Rockford, Illinois.
Authorities say vehicles were backed up for miles, across the state line and into Wisconsin.
The Winnebago County, Illinois, coroner says the three people killed were burned beyond recognition, and their identities probably won't be determined until Saturday.
