Topic: Searching
Finally introducing myself as the sister of one diagnosed end of July with CC just two weeks before her 50th birthday. She has a young child and is naturally devastated at the thought of not being around to raise him. She is too afraid to even seek support on this site for fear of being exposed to really bad, tragic situations and scary information. Seems a natural coping mechanism. I, on the other hand cannot get enough information so we can arm ourselves with ideas and options, even for little things like managing side effects. I have noticed lots of new members who are relatively young and it makes me wonder what is causing this disease. Her symptom was pain mainly at night in upper right abdomen for 3 days. no jaundice. My sis has no known risk factors, lived a clean lifestyle and has enjoyed good health. She has intahepatic tumor with portal vein s d hepatic artery involvement but no lymph node involvement. Inoperable at moment but surgeon has not ruled out resection if tumor can shrink even a little away from blood vessel branch. She started Gem/Cis and has had to have the crazy expensive Neulasta (i think thats he name) shots due to low WBC counts since the first tx. They also changed the chemo to every other week instead of weekly. She seems to be getting excellent care from at Stanford in Palo Alto, though this is not listed as one of your major cancer centers (??)
Several other newly diagnosed women who posted have spurred me to finally seek help and contribute any way I can since the stories are so similar. Thanks for listening and I hope her story can help others not feel alone. Willow

text: "Abraham Lincoln and the Forging of Modern America" consists of two one-week NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops held during summer 2012 for eighty school teachers on Abraham Lincoln and his role in American history, using sites in and near Springfield, Illinois. The program investigates four central themes of Abraham Lincoln's public life: nationalism, power, freedom, and race. The project considers such subjects as nationalism and politics in the Civil War era; Lincoln, slavery, and race; Lincoln and the Constitution; Lincoln, the radicals, and Emancipation; Walt Whitman and Lincoln; visual art on Lincoln and the war, using images from the NEH's Picturing America portfolio; African-American women's experiences as an example of racial issues; and Lincoln's legacy. Participants visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Lincoln Home, Lincoln's Law Office in Springfield, Illinois, and the historical reconstruction of New Salem Village, where Lincoln began his career. Teachers also explore the exhibit "Lincoln and the Constitution," on display at the Lovejoy Library. Participants read writings by Lincoln, including the Lincoln-Douglas debates, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, the Second Inaugural Address, and selected letters; writings by African-American women; and secondary works by Eric Foner, David Donald, John Stauffer, James McPherson, Philip Shaw Paludan, David Potter, Barry Schwartz, Garry Wills, and Lerone Bennett, Jr. The staff includes project director Caroline Pryor (education, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville [SIUE]); historians Stephen Hansen (SIUE), Iver Bernstein (Washington University), Leslie Brown (Williams College), Jason Stacey (SIUE), and Laura Milsk-Fowler (SIUE); art historian Ivy Cooper (SIUE); and site and museum personnel.

With chance to start, Murphy comes up big for Yanks
NEW YORK -- John Ryan Murphy found his name on the Yankees' lineup card for Saturday's matinee simply so everyday catcher Brian McCann could rest his knees a day after a night game. But by the time the 22-year-old stood in the on-deck circle awaiting his third at-bat out of the nine-hole, the Angels were already playing the matchup game against him.
Murphy drove in his first three runs of the season -- one on the first homer of his career -- to lift the Yankees to a 4-3 victory against the Angels, evening the series at a game apiece entering Sunday's prime-time finale.
"It's nice to contribute when I'm playing once a week," said Murphy, who finished 2-for-3 for the first multihit game of his career. "It's really fun to help the team win."
Murphy's start coincided with the second of the season for left-hander Vidal Nuno, and Murphy coaxed 4 1/3 innings out of his Triple-A teammate from last season. Nuno started shaky, allowing a Mike Trout home run in the first after Collin Cowgill led off with a drive that Jacoby Ellsbury chased down on the warning track in straightaway center.
But after Nuno escaped the first and worked a 1-2-3 second, Murphy delivered a New York lead.
"We win a game 4-3, and he has three of the RBIs, so a huge day," said manager Joe Girardi. "He did a great job behind home plate working Nuno and our bullpen. He just had a really good day."
Murphy stepped to the plate in the second inning with the bases loaded, and after Mark Teixeira touched home on a Hector Santiago balk, Murphy drove in the remaining two runners with a single to right-center that gave the Yankees a two-run lead.
"The hit by Murphy to give those guys three runs that inning was definitely a momentum-shifter," Angels skipper Mike Scioscia said.
But Murphy's home run in the fifth proved the decisive blow, breaking a 3-3 tie after the Angels scored two in the fourth and chased Nuno with one out and Trout on first in the fifth. Girardi said before the game that he planned to limit Nuno to about 80 to 85 pitches, and the left-hander exited after throwing 72, 48 for strikes.
Dellin Betances entered with Albert Pujols at the plate and escaped the jam -- part of two scoreless innings that lowered the rookie reliever's ERA to 0.77 through nine outings and earned him his first career win.
"When he's in the strike zone," Murphy said, "he's unhittable."
Murphy would know better than most. Betances called Murphy "one of my good friends" after the pair spent parts of the past two seasons together at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Trenton, where Betances was one of the Yankees' top starting pitching prospects before his move to the bullpen.
"I'm happy for the kid. He's been through a lot," Girardi said of Betances. "He's had to change roles, and he's had to fight to get here. He's throwing the ball extremely well for us. Today was probably the toughest situation we've put him in so far, and he responded very well."
So did Murphy, who wants to be aggressive with his limited at-bats.
It showed when he jumped on Santiago's first offering of the fifth and drove it into the left-field seats.
"When he hit it, we were all like, 'He got it! He got it! He got it!'" said David Robertson, who capped his first save since April 6 with a 3-2 swing-and-miss cutter to Howie Kendrick, punctuated with a fist pump.
Ellsbury, who made a sliding grab to limit the Angels to two runs in the fourth, and Derek Jeter followed Murphy's homer with singles, but they remained stranded once Los Angeles turned to its bullpen.
When Murphy returned to the plate an inning later, Scioscia lifted lefty Nick Maronde in favor of a righty-righty matchup between Michael Kohn and Murphy. Kohn won, inducing a flyout to right field, but Murphy had already done his damage, leaving the ballpark with a home run ball he plans to give to his mother, Carolina.
"It's special, and it means even more because we won the game by one run [because of] what he did," Girardi said. "He'll never forget it."

Benedictine University is currently able to offer students opportunities for international service through a partnership with the Diocese of Joliet. Two trips are currently available: one to the Philippines during the semester break in January and one to Bolivia during the summer. More information about University Mission trips offered by the Diocese of Joliet can be found by visiting www.paxjoliet.org/missions.
The University Mission to Sucre began in 1995 through the efforts of Sister Dolores Zemont, O.S.F. at the University of St. Francis. In 2001 it was expanded by the diocese's Peace and Social Justice Ministry to include students from all three of the diocese's Catholic universities: Benedictine University, Lewis University, and the University of St. Francis. In partnership with the diocese's Office of Campus Ministry, students from the College of DuPage, Elmhurst College, Joliet Junior College, and North Central College are also included in this mission opportunity.
While in Sucre, students serve at several orphanages, day care centers, a hospital built by the diocese, and two psychiatric centers. This is a two week Service Immersion Experience in June.
Benedictine Campus Ministry has joined the Diocese of Joliet the past several years, in traveling to Bacolod, Philippines. The primary goal of the mission is to build a house, with the Gawad Kalinga organization. Students will also dialogue with local university students and spend time with families in the village. A Gawad Kalinga chapter is now on campus! Join "GK Benedictine" to help support our community in the Philippines.

Just how cool can our coolers really cool?
Our test platform involves our favourite CPU of recent years it just so happens to be a great little overclocker too, the Intel Core i5-2500K. We've paired it with an Asus Z77 motherboard because Intel's latest performance chipset seems to squeeze more out of its CPUs and Asus boards are the most consistent performers.
As for the settings and benchmarks, where configurable, we set fans to balanced rather than ultra quiet or high performance mode and then tested temps and performance at both stock clock speeds and the maximum overclock possible with each cooler.
We chucked in some Cinebench rendering and World in Conflict gaming tests to get a feel for performance comparisons and also to quantify the impact of any clock throttling.

In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray) readies to host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York—marking the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America. As Britain faces imminent war with Germany, the royals are desperately looking to FDR for U.S. support.
But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams), mother Sara (Elizabeth Wilson), and secretary Missy (Elizabeth Marvel) will all play a part in making the royal weekend an unforgettable one.
Seen through the eyes of Daisy (Laura Linney), Franklin's neighbor and intimate, the weekend will produce not only a special relationship between two great nations, but, for Daisy—and through her, for us all—a deeper understanding of the mysteries of love and friendship.

A Message from Marc J. Kahn, MD, MBA
Peterman-Prosser Professor
Senior Associate Dean Admissions and Student Affairs
The greatest resource of the School of Medicine is its students. Tulane boasts students from all of the 50 states and prides itself in its diversity. Students are chosen to attend Tulane School of Medicine based on their ability to contribute to the school in some way. Whether that be through the arts, sports, community service, research or scholarship, the value of the medical school is measured by the quality of the students
Towards that end, at Tulane, we strive to allow students to recognize their potential. We work hard to give students the education that they deserve and rely on student input to structure our programs. Students are involved on nearly every committee in the School of Medicine and we rely on them to provide input on curricular structure and activities.
The office of Student Affairs is available for career and personal counseling. We work in Admissions and Student Affairs to shepherd students from undergraduate admissions, through each year of medical school, through the residency match process, to graduation. We feel that through our mentorship, our students will use the talents that they possess to become excellent physicians and leaders. Our students today will be the medical leaders of tomorrow.


text: Show Hide image Politics 24 April 2013 Commons Confidential: Gorgeous and the Beast Galloway v Skinner. Sign up for our weekly email * It's not been a good few weeks for the TaxPayers' Alliance. The Tory front for tax avoiders was widely ridiculed for its silence over the squandering of £10m of taxpayers' money on Margaret Thatcher's imperial send-off, plus another large dollop of public funds to recall parliament early. Every month, the nontaxpayers organise a private briefing for right-whinge fellow-travellers in the Mothers' Union, renting the large meeting room for a Conservative Party bigwig to strut his or her stuff. I hear that the Cabinet Office minister John Hayes, supposedly David Cameron's link with backbenchers, went down like a lead balloon. My informant muttered that "Haywire" Hayes sounded more like he was from Planet Zog than a Downing Street emissary. Nothing's too good for the workers: David "Brains" Miliband was spied by a snout brooding over suits at a Savile Row tailor to tog himself up before Labour's latest lost leader heads to New York and a £300,000 salary at International Rescue. Milibands are go. He's a wily old Beast of Bolsover, Dennis Skinner. The veteran lefty settled two scores with a single bravura performance in the House of Commons on the scrapping of Prime Minister's Questions for Thatcher's imperial fandango: the Beast demolished Thatcherite myths and stole George Galloway's moment. He's never forgotten how Galloway, who hates sharing the limelight, used a column in the Daily Record years ago to have a personal pop. Lanarkshire's Jimmy Hood, an ex-miner like Skinner, took the Beast's speaking notes to auction for party funds. David Blunkett felt compelled to defend himself at a PLP meeting when a huffing and puffing John Prescott accused disgruntled Blairites of publicly undermining Ed Miliband. On the defensive, Blunkers insisted that when newspapers rang him up, it was his duty to write for them. I see in the register of members' interests that the Daily Mail paid Blunkers £30,000 in the past 12 months and he picked up another £100,000 advising the Sun King Rupert Murdoch's News International. The struggle takes many forms, comrades. My snout on British Airways Flight 0740 from Heathrow to Vienna observed that Alastair Campbell was one of the last travellers to board, in no hurry to put down a newspaper in the departure lounge. Comical Ali tweeted a dig at a lady agitated about late passengers without identifying himself as a dawdler. He was on his way to Kosovo. Bombing Serbia is now Campbell's business-class ticket to a profitable career. Discretion prevents me from naming the Tory MP who gave Thatcher's farewell a wide berth: "If they blow up St Paul's, it's my chance to be prime minister."

>Racing>Warrior Dash outfit
My sister and I will be running our first Warrior Dash this month. We're just doing it to have fun and want to wear some kind of costume/body paint that doesn't take too much effort. Anyone run a race like this and see some good ideas? The Warrior Dash is one of those fire-leaping mud-covered races. Thanks!
My sister in law and I did the WD at Pocono in June...we saw men in kilts, a pippi longstocking...best outfit was a group of people dressed up like ghostbusters complete with inflatable ghostpack thingies on their backs...whatever you do, don't spend a whole lot of money on it because whatever you have on will be totally ruined in the last mud pit I ended up donating my shoes and tossing my clothes in the trash can...but it was tons of fun! Hope you have a great time
DH and I were Pebbles and BamBam. We saw Batman, men in kilts, Tinkerbells, tutus, people wth little pig tails attached to their backside, or people with cat ears. I would go along wth not spending a lot of money because the mud ruins it. I suggest "test driving" your costume first. My Pebbles toga was too restricting at the neck so I simply undid it and pinned to my sports bra. Bad idea because the more I ran, the more it slipped and it was almost dragging the ground soon. Have fun!
We ended up wearing knee socks and matching t-shirts that said, "Supergirl." Boring, but I'm glad we didn't spend more money or effort. I felt like I was carrying around 5 extra pounds every time we got through a water obstacle or crawled in the mud. I can't imagine what we would have felt like wearing more stuff. Thanks for the input!
Please keep the ideas coming. DD & I need ideas for an upcoming Monster Dash.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.

hi everyone!
so I am a total beginner to python! i've had some programming experience in C++/java but very long time ago. i'm trying to use python for healthcare applications.
i basically have hundreds of PDFs of EKGs. I need to be able to read certain measurements of EKGs (see attached file, the most important interval i need to read is the Q-T interval).
I am looking to be able to upload PDFs of EKGs into a program that I coded by Python, zoom in to choose each of the points (PQRST), and have the computer spit out each of the intervals.
Each EKG comes on graph paper, and each block on the graph paper represents a time interval in the EKG, so when the EKGs are uploaded, the program should be able to detect the graph paper and measure the intervals based on the graph paper.
Hope that makes sense -


text: Silver conductive ink for pad-printing high-definition fine-line traces in hard-to-print areas of electronic medical devices is offered to give design engineers flexibility in creating circuits. AG-1074 ink is designed to print well in recessed areas of hard-plastic device substrates and on raised surfaces, by contrast with screen printing and other conventional printing processes that cannot access contoured surfaces. Solvents can be adjusted for compatibility with specific substrates or medical-grade silicone pads, and the ink enables design engineers to incorporate electronic circuit traces into molded parts more easily.

Wheeler strong in second Triple-A start
Mets top prospect gives up one run, two hits over six innings
By Zack Cox / Special to MLB.com | August 11, 2012 7:25 PM ET
The Mets' top prospect turned in his second solid performance Saturday night, allowing one run on two hits over six innings in Buffalo's 5-1 loss to visiting Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Wheeler surrendered hits to two of the first three batters he faced, with Eduardo Nunez delivering an RBI double to open a quick 1-0 lead. But that was all the Yankees could muster against the two-time All-Star Futures Game selection, who did not yield another hit over his final five frames.
The 22-year-old right-hander walked back-to-back batters in the sixth but stranded both runners by getting Nunez to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
"I think I did well," Wheeler said. "The last inning of the past two games, I've struggled a little bit. I need to work on staying down on my pitches. Late in the game, I've been having some pitches go high on me a bit, but I just need to keep taking the time to work on my mechanics and improve on the little things."
After making 19 starts in the Eastern League, Wheeler said he has noticed differences at the highest level of the Minor Leagues.
"I think the hitters are a little more patient," he said. "They don't swing at curveballs down out of the zone and stuff like that. The strike zone is a little tighter, of course, the umps call a tighter game, but I have Mike Nickeas behind the plate calling a great game for me and I feel really confident going forward."
Wheeler was 10-6 with a 3.26 ERA with Binghamton, the highlight coming in the form of a six-hit shutout against Erie on July 14.
In his International League debut on Monday, the Georgia native needed 101 pitches to get through 4 2/3 innings. He surrendered two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out seven in a no-decision at Syracuse.
Bisons manager Wally Backman said he's already noticed improvements in Wheeler.
"I think it was better tonight," Backman said. "He looked more comfortable out on the mound. He commanded the strike zone better. Sometimes he got a little erratic even tonight, but he's a young kid with a great arm. He's going to be real good someday.
"Once he is able to command his fastball to both sides of the plate and keep it down, he's going to be pretty darn good."
The Bisons did little to help their starter out, getting only an RBI groundout from Josh Rodriguez in the fifth.
Brandon Laird put the Yankees ahead for good with a solo homer in the seventh off reliever Dylan Owen (4-9). Ronnier Mustelier capped a three-run ninth with a two-run homer, his ninth.
Reliever Kelvin Perez (1-0) yielded one hit over 2 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win.

PHILADELPHIA -- After dropping a close dual with No. 5 Columbia, the No. 7 University of Pennsylvania women's fencing team traded wins and losses, finishing fourth with a 3-3 record in the Ivy League Fencing Round-Robins held at Brown's Olney-Margolies Athletic Center in Providence, R.I.
On the first day of the round-robins, the Quakers faced CollegeFencing360 No. 5 ranked women's fencing team – Columbia. Epee pulled out an 8-1 victory, with perfect 3-0 marks by freshman Alejandra Trumble and sophomore Srey Beaulac, but the Lions evened the score with an 8-1 victory in foil. With the dual riding on sabre, Columbia outlasted the Red and Blue (5-4), giving them the 14-13 dual win.
After dropping the close dual to the Lions, Penn regrouped and prepared for Cornell. The Quakers went on to win each of the weapons against the Big Red -- sabre 7-2, foil 5-4, epee 6-3 – and then the overall dual 18-9.
In round three, the Red and Blue went up against No. 3 Harvard. The Crimson was coming off a 15-12 loss to No. 1 Princeton, so Penn was looking to keep the trend going. However, Harvard wasn't out of gas quite yet and defeated the Quakers, 22-5.
The Red and Blue closed out day one with a 21-6 victory over Yale, giving Penn a 2-2 record.
Day two of the round-robins began with No. 1 Princeton, where the Quakers suffered their third loss, but rebounded in the following round with a 15-12 win over Brown.

In order to capitalize on all Starbucks being closed today for retraining, Dunkin Donuts is selling $.99 espressos today from 1 to 10pm. And if you're lucky enough to live in Chicago, they're giving away free small lattes. Not to be outdone, Houston area McDonald's are giving away free medium iced coffees from 5-9pm, precisely when all Starbucks will be shut down nationwide. Too bad all three chains taste like crap.

In 2009, scientists announced the discovery of Anchiornis huxleyi.
A. huxleyi, the oldest known bird-like dinosaur, lived in what is now northeastern China between 151 million and 161 million years ago. The animal sported two types of feathers. One kind, which resemble the feathers of modern-day birds, adorned the creature's feet and lower legs as well as its forelimbs — an arrangement that may have made the creature clumsy on the ground and upholds the notion that flight originated from the trees down. Other fossils found were partially covered with stiff, unbranched filaments. The science world cites this discovery as important in filling a gap in the transition between the body plans of flying avian birds and non-avian dinosaurs.

The Supreme Court and Marriage
Is there anything more pathetic than having a panel of geriatric neo-scholastics as society's self-proclaimed ultimate arbiters of right and wrong?
We should be immediately suspicious of this black-clad gang as they are supposed to use sane first principles, the facts of reality, and reason to arrive a just decisions, and yet not one of them is an atheist. In fact the currently represented religions (6 Catholic and 3 Jewish, I think) are demonstrably expert and ginning up internally consistent bullshit whirlwinds that can avoid, dismantle and adapt to any reality based objection–other religions aren't slackers in this department either, but certain religions have truly raised this nonsense to an artform, or more aptly, an academic pursuit.
Reading the court transcript has much in common with reading a sci-fi forum about who would win in a fight between the Enterprise and a Star Destroyer. In both instances, the participants have powerful intellects that can make coherent, compelling arguments about anything, no matter how fanciful the context. In both instances a baseline fantasy story is held by all the participants, each then adds a few individual fantasy premises and then the reasoning process begins. In both cases, the conclusions are meaningless outside of their fantasy settings and nothing about reality has been decided at all. To be fair to the sci-fi folks, only the Supreme Court has millions of armed brutes enforcing their arbitrary conclusions.
As a quick demonstration of what a reality-based court transcript might look like (courtesy of a friend's Facebook post):
I don't know what kind of vaguely legitimate arguments anyone could make in defense of the DOMA. I take an adult's right to enter into a contract of any kind–marriage or other– with another adult as so much of a given that trying to explain myself would be like trying to explain why slavery is wrong. If you're still one of those people who believes that a Bronze Age collection of stories justifies you imposing your hangups on others', I got nothing for you. Please go fuck yourself in the most hetero way you please.
Case closed.

The tornado that swept through Crittenden on March 2 should teach us all that an emergency plan is a must-have for every family.
Grant County Emergency Management Director Rick Willoby made an excellent point in his observations on storm preparedness.
"You can't wait until a siren blows to get a plan," Willoby said. See related story in this issue.
He urged residents to prepare a "go-bag," meaning one that you can grab and go in a moment's notice.

Hyderabad in Southern India is rich in tradition and history. Book a flight to Hyderabad with Qatar Airways and you will find plenty to discover. The modern-day city is home to the Indian headquarters of Google and Microsoft, yet it's the old city that captures the hearts of visitors. Filled with charm, its Islamic monuments, ornate tombs and palaces hint at decades of glorious history.
In stark contrast, the sprawling glass high-rises and shopping malls in the modern business district tell a different story. However, there's much more to Hyderabad than gleaming office buildings and IT – differences in culture are visible throughout the city's five districts. You can fly to Hyderabad with Qatar Airways to explore the jewel in Telangana's crown.
Most visitors head for the Old City, south of the river, where the majority of historical attractions can be found. On your trip to Hyderabad, visit Charminar (Four Minarets), a stunning palace with its own mosque and temple, offering panoramic city views from atop the minarets.
Charminar, Hyderabad's principal landmark was built by Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 to commemorate the founding of Hyderabad and the end of epidemics caused by Golconda's water shortage. The dramatic four-column, 56m-high structure has four arches facing the cardinal points, with Minarets sitting atop each column.
Although most of the 16th century Golconda Fortress dates from the time of the Qutb Shah Kings, its origins as a mud fort have been traced to the earlier reigns of the Yadavas and Kakatiyas. And for one of the largest collections of artefacts visit the Sala Jung Museum. The huge and varied collection, dating back to the 1st century, was put together by Mir Yusaf Ali Khan (Salar Jung III). The 14,000 exhibits from every corner of the world include sculptures, wood carvings, devotional objects, Mughal miniature paintings, illuminated manuscripts, weaponry, toys and textiles.
Visitors flock to Chowmahalla Palace, once home to the Nizam. Although many feel the architecture of Falaknuma Palace is more impressive, this has been turned into a hotel, and is now inaccessible to members of the public who want to appreciate its more aesthetic qualities. Take an afternoon out to explore Golconda Fort – you can pay for a guided tour or wait for the sound and light show that takes place after sunset. The maze of winding, bustling streets surrounding the fort is filled with beautiful, old-world shops selling everything from jewellery to naan bread.
Travel to Hyderabad and you'll notice the tropical climate can make summers quite hot and humid. Cooling off with a boat ride at Lumbini Park or a picnic at NTR gardens is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon and an opportunity to escape the heat. Families can enjoy a trip to GoGoa Aquarium, where rare sea life such as the Quaran Angel and Star Fish can be spotted.
With so much history and culture on offer, a Heritage Walk is the best way to learn more about Hyderabad's past. Organised by the tourist department, these guided walks include breakfast and take in the major sights of the Old City. For a day trip with a difference, film lovers take the one-hour drive to Ramoji Film City for a guided tour of the world's largest film studio.
Hyderabad's cuisine is heavily influenced by traditional South Indian spices and Mughlai flavours, so expect to be surprised (and sometimes amazed at the sheer heat of some dishes!). The city's most popular dish is Hyderabadi Biryani, and the aroma of a traditional biryani cooking is not to be missed. Most restaurants and street food vendors will serve chicken, mutton and vegetable versions.
Other regional specialities include khubani ka meetha (apricots boiled in sugar syrup) and Irani Chai, Hyderabadi spiced tea. Visitors to Hyderabad find the street food here is amongst the best in India, and it's possible to sample a range of dishes for reasonable prices. Snacks such as Samosa Chaat and Dahi Puri can be found at popular vendors.
Nowhere is Hyderabad's wealth more obvious than on The Golden Mile, a stretch of designer shops, jewellery boutiques and malls. There's a more traditional side to shopping in the Old City too though, and for an authentic Hyderabadi experience check out the city's bazaars. Colourful and at times frenetic, the aroma of spices fills the air as street entertainers jostle for attention with vendors selling their wares. Try Meena Bazaar for saris, suits and fabrics (fixed prices) or Laad Bazaar for glass and lacquer bangles. Even if you don't plan to buy, visiting a food market such as Monda Market is a memorable experience.
When you travel to Hyderabad, take the time to shop for jewellery, pearls and handicrafts, all available at reasonable prices.
Flights to Hyderabad with Qatar Airways arrive at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, 14 miles from the city centre.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Hyderabad please check the visa and passport requirements.

Ultrasound Eyebrow Lift Device OK'd
Latest MedicineNet News
FDA Clears the Ulthera System for Use by Doctors
Miranda Hitti
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Sept. 18, 2009 -- The FDA has cleared a new ultrasound eyebrow lift device, called the Ulthera System, for use by doctors, according to the device's maker.
The noninvasive device, which is the first of its kind, uses ultrasound imaging to target ultrasound energy that enables "significant lifting of the skin," states an Ulthera Inc. news release.
According to the news release, "focused ultrasound energy triggers the body's natural healing response, resulting in new and improved collagen support and gradual firming, tightening, and actual lifting of skin tissue over time."
Clinical studies of the Ulthera System began in 2004 and showed "no serious adverse events and no recuperation time," the news release states.
The Ulthera System will be marketed to dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Ulthera Inc. plans to pursue other cosmetic and medical indications for the technology.

Anyone who has ever interned knows that sometimes your day consists mostly of gruntwork – you might spend hours staring at spreadsheets or organizing files, yet you're still expected to be overjoyed by the opportunity to spend time in the "big leagues." Luckily for me, I've never experienced this in my current internship with Diva Communications. Not only do I get to learn from folks at the forefront of filmmaking for social justice, I'm treated like a bona fide staff-person, rather than just a lowly intern occupying a cubicle for a few months.
Thanks to The Jewish Theological Seminary's Fellowship in Jewish Social Entrepreneurship, I have been interning with Diva Communications since September. Diva is a one-of-a-kind, unorthodox, workaholic-natured multi-media company specializing in programming, production and post-production. The staff is dedicated to solving communication puzzles through the creative use of documentaries, news, corporate presentations and new media. They raise awareness of social issues otherwise not reported on in the mainstream media – often focusing on the intersectionality of justice-centered work and faith communities.
Diva Communications just released a documentary titled "Divine Prescription." The film documents how people of faith can bring healing and wholeness to the lives of others through ministries of health care. Though I missed the films debut while away on winter break, I returned to work this semester to help promote the film's airing on ABC network channels around the United States.
I love interning at Diva Communication because I feel as though I have the opportunity to learn something new every time I go into the office. For example, one Wednesday I was given a long list of local stations to call and ask when "Divine Prescription" would be aired – unfortunately, like many truth-tellers, our films are often relegated to the bottom of the TV schedule and air in the middle of the night. Though this task may sound like monotonous work, it certainly was not. I practiced my persuasive communication skills and learned how to advocate with a variety of different people, and was even able to get some stations to air the documentary earlier!
I am truly thankful for the time I have spent at Diva Communications thus far. It's been incredible to see from the ground up how we can use media to raise awareness around various justice issues and build movements to address them, especially in faith communities. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow from the staff there.

A FATHER stabbed his "aggressive" son 11 times with a large kitchen knife at a relative's Oldbury home leaving him with serious injuries.
Twenty-eight-year-old Shane Adam suffered stab wounds to his head, neck, stomach and groin and he was unconscious in hospital for two days.
Wolverhampton Crown Court was told the brutal attack was fuelled by drink and drugs.
A stab wound to Shane's armpit punctured one of his lungs causing internal bleeding and he also needed surgery to close two other wounds.
His dad, George Adam, from Halesowen, was jailed for six years and eight months after a judge described his actions as "excessive self defence".
The 50-year-old, of Stourbridge Road, denied attempted murder and was found not guilty on that charge but he admitted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Judge John Warner told Adam it was accepted his son Shane had a record for violence and had been rude and aggressive after drinking heavily.
The court heard there had been a history of bad feeling between the pair and the situation came to a head when Shane called at the home of his aunt where his father was babysitting.
The two men swapped punches before George Adam armed himself with the knife "initially to warn him off" but e then lost self control and lashed out with the weapon.
Darron Whitehouse, defending, said Adam was undergoing drug treatment at the time of the attack and his judgement had been affected.
Hugh O'Brien-Quinn, prosecuting, said a heated argument turned into a fight and the pair wrestled each other in the kitchen before Adam reached for the knife.
He ran at his son and repeatedly stabbed him before being pulled away by a child in the house.
After his arrest Adam - who had no previous convictions for violence - told police he was full of remorse for his actions, but had feared further violence at the hands of his son.
He added: "I just lost it."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BIG RELEASE: Oz the Great and Powerful (March 8)
THE BIG PICTURE: Lovable weirdo James Franco stars in this prequel about one of pop culture's greatest enigmas (other than Oprah)... Harry Potter, meet your cinematic granddaddy: a certain yet-to-be-wonderful wizard named Oz. When his weather balloon gets sucked into a tornado, a wannabe magician from Kansas is transported to the land of Oz. Faster than you can click your heels and say "there's is no place like home," Oz is up to his neck in witch trouble. Heralded as a long-expected saviour of the land, Oz's arrival is not welcomed by members of the local broomstick flying community. For his part, Franco displays a range of emotion (i.e. more than one) as Oz that Anne Hathaway would have killed for when he co-hosted the Oscars in 2011. Oz the Great and Powerful also tells the coming-of-magical-age stories of the land's three witches. Mila Kunis plays Theodora (the future Wicked Witch of the West), Rachel Weisz is Evanora (the future landing pad for Dorothy's house) and Michelle Williams is Glinda (the Good Witch). Frankly, I've never been more pro witch. Three more reasons to drink down this silver screen elixir.
FORECAST: Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Join the Lollipop Guild (you can pay your union dues in song and dance). This one could be the first real must-see film of 2013. Unlike most prequels, Oz's story deserves to be told -- and the film is bound to have more heart, courage and brains than Tim Burton's similar attempt to rehash Alice in Wonderland. This one is directed by Sam Raimi (the Spider-Man trilogy). Sam, just spare us the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" Spidey lecture and make with more Munchkins.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Dead Man Down. Niels Arden Oplev directs his first film since the original, Swedish version of The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. In this thriller, Noomi Rapace blackmails and seduces Colin Farrell into killing a mob boss. Apparently, revenge is a dish best served... bold. Farrell is a one-man army. Apartments, cars, hearts, heads and henchmen explode -- and not necessarily in that order. They could have called this The Guy with the Irish Temper.
BIG EVENT: JACK (March 10, CBC, 8 p.m.
BIG PICTURE: CBC seems to hedging its bets on Canadian icons. First, we were treated to a miniseries on Don Cherry (whose "achievements" largely consist of fashion crimes and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Hockey videos) and now Jack Layton receives a well-deserved biopic. Rick Roberts (This is Wonderland) plays the man with the signature moustache and Sook-Yin Lee (Shortbus, CBC's Definitely Not the Opera) plays Olivia Chow, his wife and political partner.
FORECAST: Get ready for another Orange Crush. Layton's ever-present smile and positive attitude had a non-partisan appeal -- as the national mourning that followed his untimely death proved. JACK focuses on the events that shaped his political path from Toronto city councillor to federal Leader of the Opposition -- and presumably also tells the origin story of his magical facial hair. On a side note, I have an idea for CBC's next biopic: REX, the untold story of Rex Murphy's childhood in the Jurassic period. Abandoned at birth and raised by pterodactyls, Murphy's tough-love childhood paves the road for him to become Canada's ageless crank (the script practically writes itself).
HONOURABLE MENTION: Homeland (March 6, BRAVO, 8 p.m. Finally a Canadian network smartens up and lands the broadcast rights to TV's best show -- and the 2012 Emmy winner for best drama, lead actress (Claire Danes) and lead actor (Damian Lewis). Enjoy. This psychological thriller about terrorism and American intelligence is "24 for people without ADD."
DISHONOURABLE MENTION: Fashion Star (March 8, NBC, 8 p.m. Ask yourself this: In what kind of crazy, screwed up world are BOTH Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie considered mentors for anything? Season two of Fashion Star is upon us -- it's like Dragons' Den for fashion designers. Mentor away girls.
BIG RELEASES: (March 5): Son Volt (Honky Tonk), Wildlife (...On the Heart)
BIG PICTURE: Alt-country genius Jay Farrar follows his own yellow brick road into the heart of the American country music cannon. With a vintage sound that includes the fiddle and the pedal steel guitar, Farrar's band pays homage to classic country legends like Hank Williams and Buck Owens. If you want something closer to home, Toronto indie rockers Wildlife release their sophomore album. With big emotions, big hooks and big anthems, it promises to wear its heart on its sleeve.
FORECAST: Leave the Justin Timberlakes and Jay-Zs of the world to their suits and ties. Put on your straw hat and flannel and listen to some Honky Tonk. Or just sit back and enjoy the Wildlife.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Chelsea Light Moving (Chelsea Light Moving). This is grunge all grown up in the hands of one of its granddaddys. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore returns with a new group -- but the same eccentricity. Moore offers a glimpse into the kind of music Kurt Cobain could have been making today.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," but these days, a guide through the seemingly endless flurry of pop culture offerings is just what we need. With that in mind, here is what's on the radar screen in TV, music and film for the coming week

Why is postpartum depression happened to ones who give birth?or it is normal to those who give birth?
Why is postpartum depression happened to ones who give birth?or it is normal to those who give birth?
Dear whiterose,
Unfortunately around 1 in 5 women will experience postpartum depression after giving birth. Although it is common it is not 'normal' in the sense that it is important to get professional help and support if you think you may be suffering from postpartum depression (this is also called postnatal depression).
What is normal is experiencing the 'baby blues' which is a temporary low feeling around 3-5 days after your baby is born, typically coinciding with when your breastmilk comes in. However, signs that you are suffering from postpartum depression include:
- a low mood that you are unable to break out of
- low energy
- trouble sleeping
- not wanting to eat
- feeling desperate
- feeling sad for long periods of time
If you recognise some some of these symptoms after having a baby then you should talk to your doctor. It would also be useful to find a local support group. Keep talking to those around you about how you are feeling and keep asking for help.
If you are suffering from postnatal depression then it is important to try to continue eating a balanced diet. Taking a multi-B supplement can also help. Try to get out every day and do something active every day too.
Do you think this is something you may be suffering from? Please don't suffer alone if so - there is so much help available out there. It is not anyone's fault that they have postnatal depression; but things can certainly get better with the right help and support.
Best wishes,

Campo Santo
Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina
The hotel is very new and nicely designed. Very clean and nice room, comfortable bed. Extremely helpful and friendly staff, very welcoming and just the sweet people.
I liked the welcoming atmosphere, the design of the hotel, the home made cake and coffee for breakfast. The host of the hotel was very helpful and kind every time - there was no request he could not solve!
This B&B has really nice design (interior design and furniture), and the owners are really nice, helpful and friendly. Federico gave me a lift to go and pick up the rental car. The breakfast was great. The location is outside Pisa, but fine with a car. The room was luxurious and had nice touches like chocolates, chilled water, and bath robes. We made a silly mistake with the PIN number for the door. This was totally our fault, and it was after midnight, but when I tried calling the different telephone numbers there was no answer, and it took a lot of time, knocking and ringing, before we woke someone up to help us. We really wondered what we could do as we were locked out. So it might be difficult to contact somebody if you had a problem. As I said it was our fault entirely, but it's the kind of problem you would have at a B&B and not at a hotel. Perhaps they should display a phone number at the gate and by the door, in case of problems. With regard to the room, there was no window you could open (it was locked) - I like to be able to get some fresh air if I want!
We loved the space of the apartment suite for our family, and the sleek modern design with attention to comfort aswell. We struggled to find it in the dark without sat-nav
Great B&B/Hotel. Good location between Pisa center and Livorno (Ferry to Corsica).
It was very clean and I found the staff multilingual, very friendly and helpful. The heating did not work, so they gave me another room, which was fine.
The design of the hotel was a medieval age design and was so nice. The room was clean. The staff was not good at english but they were kind and helpful. The location is in the middle of the train station and Pisa tower. You can walk anywhere in Pisa. The bathroom was very small but it was clean.
Lovely comfortable large rooms with antique furniture. Great location - in the centre of everything and right on one of the busiest shopping streets. As the hotel is located on a main shopping street - the noise of an evening / night can keep you awake at night if you have a room which looks directly onto the street.
We left the B&B and refused to stay. The smoke when you walked into the lobby was overwhelming. We asked to see our room because we told them that smoke really bothers us and they said customers can't smoke in their rooms. Then why can't we see it? None of the staff could answer; they just speaking in Italian to each other. Finally they called a lady from the Hotel Leonardo in Pisa and she gave us a smoke free room in Pisa for the same price. Never, never recommend this B&B
Gaia and family and extrordinary. The building was clean and well kept. Close to tower etc. Great friendly dog! Only bummer was the loud road noise due to location, and then no breakfast provided, but we loved the place and people. Just take your ear plugs and some coffee to prepare yourself in the nice clean kitchen!!!
The landlady was extremely friendly and helpful, and the room clean and very stylish. I would highly recommend this for anyone staying for a few days in Pisa looking for a small, family-run place to stay.
beautiful room, lovely staff
the room was good. Free internet is a bonus no
the room was good. Free internet is a bonus no
Very comfortable room and excellent bathroom. Staff charming.
The owners were really hospitable. The villa was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished with antique pieces throughout.
Not far away from the city centre..better if you have a car though. Parking free nearby. The owners are very friendly and helpful! Very clean room and very nice bathroom.
The owner was extremely helpful. It mostly felt like we were guests in her house.
This hotel was probably the highlight of our Toscana tour.Hotel owners are lovely young couple. Most helpful, friendly, nice people. Great care has been taken for the attractive decoration. Everything has been considered in the rooms. For us it was 10 out of 10. Recommend to everyone.
A very nice and cosy bed&breakfast. Clean rooms, good breakfast, very friendly staff.
everything, friendly atmosphere, comodity, breakfast, the house itself
beautiful room, lovely staff

Oyster #97: The Flaming Lips
Plus listen to The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu's new track 'Now I Understand'.
For Oyster #97, we caught up with Wayne Coyne of inimitable band The Flaming Lips.
The Flaming Lips are quite an anomaly. They've been around for nearly three decades, despite having only one mainstream hit and that was the novelty song 'She Don't Use Jelly'. Equally adored by fans and critics, their live shows are near-mythical and they even have a street named after them in their hometown, Oklahoma City. Knowing that our friend Dave Rennick, co-frontman for Sydney band Dappled Cities, was a huge fan of the band, we decided we'd ask him to interview the Lips' lead singer, Wayne Coyne.
Dave Rennick: Hi! How're you doing?
Wayne Coyne: Good! You've got a bruise on your arm, man. What's happening there?
It's a mysterious bruise. It just appeared three days ago, but it was a lot worse before. What do you think?
It looks like you've got a Band-Aid on, or something.
It's a bit embarrassing.
I mean, it doesn't look like a drug thing?
No, it's not. I promise! So, I'm not a journalist. I'm a fraud, I was playing earlier.
So, you're a fraud?
Well, I'm a fraud journalist.
Oh well, good enough. What's your group?
Dappled Cities.
Oh, I see. Did you play up over here [points to the main stage]?
Yeah, we played there! So, I wasn't nervous about meeting you, I mean, I'm a big fan ? but I am nervous about being a journalist? We'll just work through it.
Yeah, OK. No worries.
So, I was wondering, as a "musician" [makes air quotes]?
No, no being in a band, that gives you great insight into the things to talk about. A lot of groups don't talk about shit, you know?
Except that Oyster didn't want me to ask any questions about music?
Well, that could be boring.
But I'm going to, anyway. You've been in the band a long time, Flaming Lips, is it's almost?
I'm 50 years old. So, I've been in it since I was 22, and in The Flaming Lips that's a long time.
That's actually, as a musician, the most inspirational thing.
Well, thank you.
That's what I love about Flaming Lips like, the journey; the long journey.
Well, we don't think of it like that. I mean, we just thought we would last, like, a couple of months, and you always think that it's just gonna end at any time, but it just keeps going and it never ends.
Well, that's what I was wondering so, like, I've been in a band for ten years?
That's a good long time. Same group?
Yeah, yeah. When you were in a band for ten years, what were you thinking, at that time?
Well, you go, "Wow, ten years!" You know what I mean? If you're not just some egotistical idiot, you just think that there's no way it can succeed or be good, or if it is good, it's just an accident; or if people like you, it's just an accident. You're always just insecure about this being something you're going to make money with and do your whole life. There is just no way. Unless you're just like I said, you're just a fool and you think, "Fuck, I'm just the greatest thing ever," [laughs]. You know? I've run into other bands my whole life: even bands that are successful for a while, I run into them later and they're not successful.
Yeah, totally.
And this idea that you think you're just gonna say, "Oh, we're gonna be a band forever and people are gonna love us" you know, nobody thinks that. I still run into Chris Martin from Coldplay, and he's still like, "I hope, I hope it works." Even the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and they have been around for 30 years.
Yeah. But then you've got to keep active that whole time, don't you?
You have to think that it's about ideas and about expression and all those things that are just impossible, you know? And I think that the audience can tell when you're not trying. But I think it's mostly luck. We are very lucky that we get to do this crazy shit and we have an audience.
Totally. You are lucky! How did you do it? You spun that, somehow [laughs].
No, it's true. I mean, it's a lot of work and everything, but a lot of people work hard and it doesn't always work, you know? And I think that sometimes you just get lucky, this thing that you do? people like it and you go, "Great!"
So, you don't have a day job?
No. I sometimes wish I did, because it would be a relief just to not have to? But I'm surrounded by people all the time that are just pushing us ? saying, "Wayne, we need to do this, we need to do that. We can do this in the morning, and that in the afternoon." Sometimes I work, like, 18 hours in the day ? do a song in the morning, do a video in the afternoon, we design a t-shirt?
Yeah! You have to, you know? You have to.
It sounds like so much fun.
It can be [laughs].
[Laughs] I mean, I get distracted by having to make money, of course.
No, no but that's all part of it. You know, if you're lucky enough to make money, you pay people and..
Give back.
Exactly. I'm lucky I can be generous to people. It's cool.
With your show? I mean, Flaming Lips is just spectacular, obviously?
Yeah! well, we hope so!
Everything about it, from the recordings to the live show to the videos and whatever, but there is obviously a band under there.
Totally. It's all about music.
And it's just you guys jamming and that's what I love about it.
But is there, like, an HR element? Like, what happens in rehearsal? Are you guys still at the point where you have to learn songs?
Well, the band is a strange mixture. We have these master musicians; Steven is one of the top musicians of the world, you know what I mean? And Kliph is one of the top drummers in the world and [guitarist] Derek is our newest guy, he has been with us a couple of years now, They could play anything. They could play John Coltrane; they could play Thelonious Monk; they are so good. And then myself and [bassist] Michael, we are really, like, punk-rock musicians. We can't play shit, but we like to fuck around with sounds. And that combination of them being these master musicians and us being, like, these fuckin' total creative freaks, I think it's a good combination.
I get a lot of adrenaline - when I watched today, for instance, you did your collaboration with Lightning Bolt?
Fucking A! Yeah, it's cool.
Yeah, it's very cool - and it's almost horror, in a way; it's almost scary. Some of the imagery is so visceral?
Yeah, totally well, we're not restricted. We just do whatever we want.
Do you like getting that kind of reaction from people?
Yeah, totally! I mean, we never run into really scary people. If you like music and art then you're not really scary.
But yeah, I like the idea that there are no rules. There are no laws. If you can think of it and you can do it you should do it, you know? If no animals or people are hurt, fucking go for it [laughs].
So, what's the thing that you feel like you haven't done yet?
Well, people ask me that a lot. We always put ourselves out there as we want to be the first band that plays in outer space.
Oh really?
And I don't know if they'll ever finish this International Space Station. NASA is not a very stable workplace anymore ? we know a couple of people that work there, so we're always like, "Hey man, in fuckin' twelve years when that thing's finished, you've gotta shoot us up there with some equipment and we've gotta play a couple of songs."
That would be kind of cool.
That would be insane, yeah. I would fuckin'? I would hate it, but I would love it at the same time, you know?
You'd need months of training.
I know! I hate flying! It would just be fuckin' horrible, yeah to think you've got to go up there and shit in some bag and you've got an oxygen tank?
Richard Branson did that competition where he was giving away a free flight into space with Virgin?
Yeah, I know a lot of people that would do it. I wouldn't do it.
Well, the competition winner decided to take the bogey prize, which was free flights around the world for her entire life.
Well, that's fuckin' boring.
[Laughs] So, you would take the space flight?
Well, I wouldn't join the competition, but I would say one of my friends was going to go into space. I know so many people that would love that, it's insane.
Um? What else do you want me to ask you? What kind of car do you drive?
I have an electric car. One of those? is it a Toyota Prius? It's awesome. And I have a big pick-up truck, so I'm, like, the worst of both. I'm green on one side and the fuckin' biggest waster on the other.
Really? I guess that balances it out.
I know, but those trucks, man? I've got a whole lot of shit sometimes, and in Oklahoma it gets fuckin' hot so I use the air conditioner. Hey, I'm not proud of it, but what do you do [laughs]? But I'm lucky to have cars and things. Lots of people don't even have a car.
No. That's true.
So, how's your band coming along?
It's good. We just finished our fourth record; we've been kicking around for a while.
Good. You think it's gonna work out? You think this is what you're going to do?
Yeah, we're in for the long haul. The whole thing is a learning experience.
It is, yeah - if you're lucky.
I'm looking forward to a long career of songwriting.
Well, lucky for you! It looks like it's going your way if you've already made four records.
I guess so.
How old are you now?
Uh, 28.
Oh damn, man! You've got your whole life going!
Yeah, you too.
Well, yeah! I mean, I've already done my whole life. Now it's like extra for me.
[Laughs] Alright, excellent. It was a pleasure.
See ya, man.
Call it a coincidence or call it fate, The Flaming Lips have just released a collaborative track over the weekend with Erykah Badu, who we ALSO featured in Oyster #97. The track, 'Now I Understand', was released on The Flaming Lips' SoundCloud, where Coyne explains "life is beautiful. Music gets you high." The song, which samples both Apple's Siri software and Biz Markie backwards, will appear on the band's upcoming collaborative album, also featuring Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, Neon Indian, Bon Iver, Lykke Li and Ke$ha, set for release on April 21.
