Sickle cell disease (SCD), a type of anemia (shortage of red blood cells), is characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells. Sickle cells (named for the sickle, or oblong, slender shape of the malformed blood cells) have decreased flexibility, meaning they break easily. This results in a number of life-long complications.
PH is an increasingly recognized complication of SCD. Studies show that approximately 30% of screened adult patients with SCD develop mild PH in adulthood. In 10% of patients, the PH is more severe. Recent autopsy studies also suggest that up to 75% of sickle cell patients show changes in the lung tissue at the time of death, indicating the existence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
One possible reason sickle cell patients seem to be at risk for developing PH is that increased breakdown of red blood cells within the blood vessels causes inflammation and a decrease of nitric oxide (a substance that causes relaxation of the blood vessels). This causes constriction of the small arteries of the lungs which may lead to PH.
Because they are somewhat general symptoms, the characteristics of PH felt by the patient often are mistakenly attributed to other problems. These symptoms include shortness of breath, feeling fatigued, being unable to tolerate increased levels of exercise, unexplained swelling of the ankles, legs, abdomen or arms, chest discomfort or pain, light-headedness and fainting. Your doctor wants to make sure you do not have symptoms that are being overlooked.
Individuals who suffer from SCD are more likely to develop PH, and those who suffer from PH in addition to SCD are at a higher risk of death than that of SCD patients without PH. Therefore, your doctor wants to test your pulmonary pressure to make sure you're not currently affected by PH. If PH is present, he or she will want to begin treatment immediately to control both your SCD and your PH.
Studies from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute suggest that PH is the greatest risk factor for death in the aging population of patients with SCD. An echocardiogram is an important screening tool to check for the development of PH in patients with problems like SCD. The echocardiogram can also help to determine the cause of the high pulmonary pressures.
Because SCD is a complex disorder with many complications, no specific clinical guidelines have been written for patients who have both SCD and PH. Researchers do not know exactly what role PH plays in the worsening of disease.
The National Institute of Health recommends that each case of PH be evaluated by a specialist, and assigned a value, from mild to severe. The therapy used to treat various gradations of the disease will likewise increase or decrease, depending on the severity.
A number of different treatments are available, and have been shown to be very effective. Your doctor will help determine the best treatment for you, and will continue to monitor your progress throughout your treatment. Specialists at a PH center can also help guide you through the process and answer your questions.

The basket with grid design in thickly applied pigment is likely to have been made directly for the outside market. Though such items are in use today, the 'grid' design relates strongly in mark-making to pukumani poles (and body painting), where a recurring pattern is achieved with a traditional tool, a wooden comb which is dipped into the pigment.
Beyond its inclusion in pukumani ceremony to adorn grave posts, the tunga has its place in a creation story of Melville Island:
Murtankala, an old blind woman, came out of the earth at Murupianga in the southeast of Melville Island. In a bark basket (tunga) on her back, she carried her three children and began a slow crawl north in search of food…she then made provision for her children by introducing animals and covering the bare islands with vegetation.

Luxe 810 run small
"I love these shoes! But..... I wear an 11 and so there is nothing larger, 11 always fit me. Except Luxe 810 11's. I guess designer shoes just seem to run small and narrow. Anyway I kept them because I was able to stretch them out a bit. But guess what? They cracked in half like the 3rd time I wore them! But I loved them so much I had my guy glue them and so far so good and I've worn them a lot! Unbelievable for shoes that retail this side of $1000!"

Northwest review (US edition)
Jean Lefebvre
July 07 2009 08:15PM
Those ill-conceived knee-jerk rushes to judgment after the first few days of the free-agency period are so annoying, mostly because they get in the way of our own ill-conceived knee-jerk rushes to judgment.
Even though it's still two months until training camps and National Hockey League rosters remain written in pencil only, it's only natural at this point in time to collect our wits, take a deep breath and try to make sense of the strange fever that makes a general manager give full-time superstar money to a part-time labourer.
But enough about Glen Sather.
What we aim to do is take a quick inventory of the July activities to date for all the Northwest Division clubs and declare provisional winners and losers.
Today, we'll start with the two clubs south of the border. We'll follow up with the three Western Canadian members later this week.
We alluded to Marian Gaborik above and it would seem the cliché "addition by subtraction" was invented for the slick but oft-wounded Slovak and his former Twin City employers. It's not that the good folks of Minnesota didn't enjoy Gaborik's spectacular cameo appearances in the Wild lineup but as his absences became more prolonged, the questions about possible malingering grew more pointed and the number of his staunch supporters in the dressing room dwindled.
Of course, it's somewhat humourous that to replace Gaborik the Wild went out and grabbed Martin Havlat, who for much of his career has been as un-Garry-Ungerish as Gaborik. The games-played tally in 2008-09, however (81-17 in favour of Havlat) for now makes this seem like a good move for Minny.
The rest of Minnesota's roster movement has been relatively minor, although a lot of smart hockey people seem to be big fans of Greg Zanon, a defenceman who didn't get much exposure playing in the shadow the likes of Hamhuis, Suter and Weber in Nashville.
Of course, all eyes will be on the firm of Richards & Fletcher now that Lemaire & Risebrough have left the premises and while the complaints of the Wild's supposed boring style have been greatly exaggerated, especially in recent seasons, it will be interesting to see what the new guys will do with the franchise that until now had known no other leaders.
KJR (Knee-Jerk Ruling): Moderate winner (which gets upgraded to big winner if you want to count the late-season re-signing that took the excellent Niklas Backstrom off the free-agent market before he ever got there).
From an emotional standpoint, this is going to be a tough summer for Avalanche fans. With long-time captain Joe Sakic apparently ready to skate off into the sunset, most of the lingering confusion between the Colorado teams of the glory days and the current bunch should evaporate.
Still, from a practical standpoint, and while this may sound like sacrilege, it's not that big of a deal. With Sakic logging just 59 games over the past two seasons, the Avs have already had plenty of practice running without No. 19 on the anchor leg. And while Sakic had a remarkable 100-point season as a 37-year-old, how much could they have reasonably expected from Burnaby Joe at age 40?
Elsewhere in the minus department, the Avs will definitely miss Ian Laperriere, an honest hockey player who actually gave meaning to the usually hollow praise "he's good in the room." Conversely, the departure of Tyler Arnason and Andrew Raycroft will hardly be noticed at all, at least not in a negative sense.
Craig Anderson gives new coach Joe Sacco a better alternative to Peter Budaj than Raycroft gave Tony Granato, but it's still a real stretch to call goaltending a strength with the Avs.
Getting Ryan Smyth's off the books might make the accountants happy but loading up on Los Angeles Kings blue-line rejects has rarely fast-tracked a team into contention. The new administration in Denver is hardly advertising a Wait-Til-Next-Year philosophy but with top pick Matt Duchene likely to be given every chance to make the team and only $20 million in salary committed for 2010-11, the Avs seemed destined to wait until next summer before continuing with the roster reshaping.
By the way, don't think that Sakic's imminent retirement suddenly gives Colorado more dollars to spend. Indications are that the budget was set with the assumption Sakic was not returning because the captain had already privately told the club as much well before the news leaked publicly.
KJR: Loser, especially from the nostalgia standpoint. The previous time this franchise plowed ahead without Sakic, names such as Peter Stastny, Gaetan Duchesne, Mike Eagles, Normand Rochefort, Robert Picard and Mario (Goose) Gosselin populated the roster.
Next episode, we make enemies from Robson Street to Whitemud Drive to Stephen Avenue.

I am so sorry... I am like a Kid, who has to stick his tongue to the frosty fence post...
I could not resist...
I, on the other hand had just finished reading a great piece by Lefebve, who now has me looking forward to his follow up, focus on the Canadian Teams of the NWest.
I promise, I will not be 1st again, ever.
good article and spot on. Clearly the Wild and the Av's are the two most faceless teams in the NW. Hopefully we can put (or get) a face to our organization this year and get a running start on some of the teams like the Wild and Av's. Drop'em like it's hawt.
@ 99thoilerfan:
You'll always be first in my books, 99th Oiler Fan.
Anyone think Heatley wants to go to Colorado? Not sure what they could offer in trade to Ottawa though.
July 07 2009, 08:38PM
I am starting to think, he is not sure, himself.
But maybe up a mile high, might change his view point.
I guess the thing is, he says it is the coach, he says it's his ice time, lack of PP time...
He doesn't think he would get that here?
*Sigh* I think I might be getting to the 5th stage.. Acceptance ? That is the one, right ? *SIGH* Maybe not..
July 07 2009, 08:49PM
I dont see how you failed to note the blockbuster trade that brought the power forward extraordinaire Kyle Brodziak to the Wild. That alone tipped the scales of power in Minnesota's favour.
LA Kings rejects? Kyle Quincey is one hell of a hockey player and he's only 23. He alone is worth dealing old balls Smyth for.
They are rebuilding, hitting bottom, and collecting youth. The method that seems to work in the new NHL. With Stastny and Duchene down the middle the Avs have the formula figured out.
If only the Oil would have done that after their fall from grace.
Colorado looks like most of its contracts are up after next season is over, they may be poised to capitalize on the expected salary cap drop? Like trading draft picks for decent players that other teams won't be able to keep as it would put them over the cap.
Bill Rizer wrote:
LA Kings rejects? Kyle Quincey is one hell of a hockey player and he's only 23.
Is castoff a better word? Either way, I'll grant you that the term may apply better to Preissing, who was occasionally healthy in L.A., than Quincey. I'm sure Quincey will be a regular on the Avs power play but from what I've seen of him he doesn't seem like a core d-man.
As for your other point, given the current state of their roster, I completely agree the Avs are smart to take a one step back to try and take two steps forward approach. How well it works will depend on what becomes of that young forward group of Stastny, Duchene and, to a lesser extent, Wolski.
That should have said that Preissing was an occasional healthy scratch. Sorry about that.
I can agree with that. Although I'm higher on Quincey than you.
July 07 2009, 10:08PM
@ Bill Rizer:
Quincey's a good player, but if you want your team to win a hockey game tonight, Ryan Smyth does more for you.
Meanwhile, Colorado was nice enough to take on Tom Preissing who will earn 2.75 million for the next two seasons but was waived and buried in the minors to finish off this year.
It's a trade that made sense for both sides, not in the least because L.A was able to send away almost 3-million in dead weight.
July 07 2009, 10:11PM
@ Lefebvre:
Did you really like the Backstrom signing? He's the 4th-highest paid goaltender in the NHL, and his numbers have certainly been inflated from playing in Lemaire-land.
I like Backstrom just fine, but I don't think he's the 4th-best goaltender in the world. Maybe top-ten.
If you think Kyle Quincy is a quality hockey player you obviously don't know anything about hockey.
flyricky wrote:

~Well, since you backed your comment up so well, you have me convinced.~
Quincey is not a top end talent, but would fit nicely into most team's top 4, and is one of the the best on the PP (12th in the league in pts).
Try backing up your opinion as opposed to just looking like a troll.
Hoss wrote:

I'd say that Colorado isn't really looking to take on a $7.5m player right now. Not when they're clearly looking to rebuild.
July 08 2009, 07:58AM
@ humantorch: That and the fact that they lost a lot of leadership this summer (Sakic, Laperriere). I just couldn't see Heatley really fitting into that locker room without being a problem.

That is priceless. If the Oilers trade for a tough guy who loves standing in front of the net taking pucks in the head, we should refer to his style of play as very Curt Brakenburyish.
And if any of you don't remember Brakenbury, that doesn't make me old. Just smart. S-M-R-T.

*totally unrelated*
According to Darren Dregger those goofs in Philly didnt realize that Pronger will be 35 when the new contract kicks in and if he retires they will be on the hook for his salary. Cant wait to see Pronger in the Phantoms at the end of his career.
Trade Tom Gilbert!

Bill Daly slaps Homer into his place with that one. Maybe not the best move that Philly ever made.

That is hilarious. All philli fans are up in arms defending the signing stating that "it wont count against the cap once he retires" haha. Priceless.
It also won't matter if he's in the minors. The cap hit stays on unless he goes to LTIR. So sweet.
I would be really surprised if Philli didnt know this ? If they made this mistake you have to wonder how these multi-million dollar companies are being run. I mean a mailing error almost costs the hawks 2 of their young studs and now this ? Amazing.

Is a player allowed to go on LTIR to get braces and have the massive spaces between his teeth fixed? You know, so it doesn't look like his tounge is in jail? If so, that could be Philly's out.

Not sure if I could justify my answer using the overall goalie payscale and Backstrom's No. 4 position on it. I do know Backstrom seems to me a much better option than Josh Harding or any other goaltender that may have been available to the Wild had Backstrom said no to a new deal.
Then again, maybe there is something to your point about the team making the goalie, although I do think Backstrom has some solid attributes of his own. It'll be interesting to monitor that this year with a new guy behind the bench.

Leon Cooperman of Omega Advisors boosted his stake in Sprint Nextel (S) in the second quarter, bought a batch of Apple (AAPL) stock and trimmed a position in embattled Linn Energy (LINE).
Those were a few of the notable moves disclosed today in Cooperman's quarterly 13F filing, which shows stocks holdings and positions in certain other securities as of June 30.
Appearing Quoted on CNBC a short while ago, Cooperman said he agrees with Carl Icahn that Apple's stock is cheap, but still views Qualcomm (QCOM) as the best stock to own for a smartphone-bullish view. Cooperman's position in QCOM increased a bit to 3.75 million shares, from 3.3 million in the previous period.
The Sprint position increased to more than 95 million shares, from 65 million previously.
Linn's stock, down 35% this year amid an SEC investigation and questions about its use of derivatives, fell to fewer than 6.3 million shares in Cooperman's portfolio, versus more than 7.1 million in the prior period. (Go here for a subscribers-only look at Cooperman's letter in praise of Linn to Barron's, plus the coverage of the company by Andrew Bary that got plenty of investors to cast a more skeptical eye on the company's stock.)
Other notable moves: Reducing a position in WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity (DXJ) from 125,000 shares to 35,000, and eliminating small positions in the Market Vectors Gold Miner ETF (GDX), which happens to be on fire after a long stretch of underperformance, and in iShares Silver Trust (SLV).

Dear Editor,
I would like to bring out how hard our county commissioners, Utah Association of Counties, Utah Trust Land Administration and the State of Utah work to accomplish what they have for, us the people of Utah. The April 9 memorandum of understanding with Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior, is the far reaching accomplishment our elected officials have gained for us.
This MOU removes the need for litigation on most of the RS-2477 roads we use on Bureau of Land Management land. Some of these roads will be contested and will require a decision in our courts. Think of the money this will save taxpayers in quieting the title on these roads. It took three years time, 100,000 man hours, and $1 million to accomplish the MOU. What would the time, man hours and money be required to quiet the title if each road had to be taken through our courts.
I appreciate our officials for this great accomplishment.
If you missed the Progress article "Notable Day for RS-2477 Road System," published April 9 by our Editor Patsy Stoddard, please find and study it. This article will give the information needed to understand this federal land policy.

Skip to comments.Gun limits could lead to recalls of [California] legislators
Posted on 10/11/2013 7:48:41 AM PDT by 11th_VA
Gun-rights advocates are ready to launch a recall attempt aimed at some of California's most vulnerable Democratic state lawmakers - and the party's supermajority hold on the Legislature - if Gov. Jerry Brown signs some of the dozen-plus gun-control bills sitting on his desk.
They're emboldened by the successful recalls last month of two Colorado Democratic legislators who supported gun restrictions, including the leader of the state Senate. Voters replaced both with Republicans.
"As soon as the results came in Colorado, our phones started ringing," said Jennifer Kerns, the California political consultant who helped lead the Colorado recalls. "Until then, a lot of people thought California was a lost state (on gun-rights issues). But Colorado showed them it doesn't have to be."
Brown wouldn't be a recall target, organizers said. The costs are too great - perhaps $2 million - to gather enough signatures to put a statewide recall on the ballot.
Instead, gun-rights activists are focused on legislators who voted for the gun bills before Brown, a list that includes nearly every Democrat in Sacramento.
The big advantage: Gathering signatures to recall an Assembly or state Senate member is comparatively cheap.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Colorado, yes; California, probably not.
Some of the Democrats won narrowly because Obama was on the ballot. If only a few Democrats were defeated, the RAT super majority in the Assembly could be thwarted ... that itself would be a win.
This is in my state. We are rallying the troops up and the NRA is prepared to sue over SB374, which permanently bans any weapon deemed an assault rifle. There are even non-AR and non-AK type weapons with stocks, such as the SKS which made this list of 'evil guns'.
They also set up a registration system so that they can arbitrarily confiscate the moment a crime with an AW is committed.
Someone may attempt to get the ball rolling but I got a feelin' the fruits and nuts will far outnumber the kali patriots. I also saw where the kolorado second round of recall activity is probably not going to happen. Such beautiful states laid waste by liberals. Purty friggin' sad.
Tar and feather would be more appropriate.
California? Never happen.
Very admirable!!! I wish you the very best in this...its far better than jumping ship and moving to another state.
There are a lot of Republicans in CA.
That being said, about 2 years ago I sat next to one on a flight and we started talking politics. He was an older Republican white male and he thought obama was doing a good job. Opened my eyes to CA "Republicans"
Touch my gun, I'm outta here or you're outta there?
Sorry, I love visiting some places in CA but wouldn't ever consider living there.
One has to have a serious psychosis to believe life should be lived in that Hell, er, I mean Nirvana!
I'd forego it here. Here, you'd lose, and take some of the momentum out of the recall movement.
He was an older Republican white male and he thought obama was doing a good job. Opened my eyes to CA Republicans
That guy was pulling your chain.
So you know that he was pulling my chain even though I was the one talking to him for 2 hours and you never met him?
You have a good point. Sorry. Did he say he voted for Obama? You must have been frustrated.
"Oh, stewardess... I don't speak retard, could you translate ?"
sign me up.
That's the same in New England or should I say the north east.
I've met many of them when I worked up there.
I think the chances of successful recalls against Assembly members and Senate members in California are better than most people think they are. The Democrats knew they were playing with fire, and hopefully they will start getting singed. Just a couple successful recalls can change the balance back to where the Republicans can start halting any further tax increases.
I'm an active "Gun Rights are Civil Right" activist here, and since I'm being laid off Tuesday, I'll have lots of free time to be " boots on the ground" for this effort.
There are several vulnerable Assembly members and State Senators where the effort could succeed. The key will be grassroots participation and funding.
I am not able to do much "walking" but I can at least donate. I will donate when the recalls start.
It will be VERY interesting to see how this plays out.
California's demographics have changed SO much in the past few years — too many beholden to the Democratic party. I read yesterday that the under 25 population is now 70% non-White in California.
Keep us posted on thie 11th_VA.
I don't always have time to read the biased news (not that this would even appear) — but I read FReep a lot — better news here.
Trojan Horse.
All being turned into a 3rd world toilet while productive citizens like my family (who EMPLOY people) are being taxed out of existence.
Photos are of Big Sur.
Nice thoughts, but I think you're dreaming.
"Gun-rights advocates are ready to launch a recall attempt aimed at some of California's most vulnerable Democratic state lawmakers................................"
Go git 'em. We will be happy to sign.
That's right.
In 1990 I talked a liberal woman into voting for Ralph Nader rather than Algore. I posed as a liberal and fed her a line and she fell for it. She figured it out later and never talked to me again.
I meant to say 2000, not 1990.
Ralph Nader probably would be better than Al Gore. Shudder.
You're right but I did it to take a vote away from Algore.
We haven't had a decent president since Ronald Reagan.
I sincerely hope that they do succeed in recalling some of those lunatic California legislators. However, there is a reason that democrats have a super-majority in the legislature there: the voters there elect communist politicians.
Until the voters stop electing communists, California is not going to change.
California is a one-party state like most New England states. Republican or democrat is just a generic label in California and many other states. These politicians exist to get our vote in order to bring home our money to Washington, D.C. for their purposes.
Too much bother. Rope is cheaper and the results are much more permanent.
Plus-a single application is usually all that's needed...
If they could find ONE very vulnerable Dem and recall that one, the resulting political shockwaves would make Dems much less interested in pushing the gun grabber agenda. That goes for not only the Dems in Kalifornia, but for the rest of the nation as well.
Worth the effort and worth supporting in my opinion.
Only surprise here is tha Calif. hasn't yet sent their goon squads door to door confiscating ALL guns in the state.
The good news was that we recalled a Governor. The bad news was that we elected Schwarzendoofus.
No kidding he was pulling your chain, I dont know any Kalifornia Repubs that think Obama is doing anything but ruin the country.
It might work if it's a off cycle election, most Democrats only came out to vote for O so they aren't that motivated to show when one of their stars isn't up for election. The real problem is that most of the conservatives have already been squeezed out of the state due to high taxes and regulations. So even when the Dem's don't show up there aren't any Conservatives left to vote them out. Will be interesting to see what happens.
When you have nothing left to lose, you go all out. What is the worst that can happen?
I am not sure, but I am leaving California soon, like next month.
Thanks. Seems hopeless, but on this issue I won't go without a struggle. From my cold dead hand...
"Californias demographics have changed SO much in the past few years too many beholden to the Democratic party. I read yesterday that the under 25 population is now 70% non-White in California."
i'm not a racist. i'm only a racist using the Marxist media definition, if you're white, male, Christian, you just shut up.
anyhow, that statistic floors me when I think about my freshman year in college at the old boston state college. it was 1974 and this is amazing but true. in 5 classes that year there was one African American kid. if you go to any college campus in boston today, you could walk for two hours before seeing a white male.
I'll believe it when I see it...

|The Genelec M Series products include several new, innovative technologies to bring you the finest audio quality.
Natural Composite Enclosure™
Our pioneering Natural Composite Enclosure (NCE) is made from a fully recyclable fibre composite material. Half of this is wood, which has the right acoustical properties to reduce vibrations and deliver exceptional sound quality. Plus the enclosure is manufactured using injection moulding. This allows us to optimise the shape and structural rigidity for high-quality acoustical performance. And we can also maximise the internal volume, something that's vital for achieving high output at low frequencies.
Intelligent Signal Sensing
Our Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) feature reduces power consumption to less than 0.5 watts by automatically switching the active monitor to standby when no audio signal has been detected for some time. When it receives an audio signal again, the loudspeaker turns back on.
ISS is fully compliant with the latest EU requirements and the ErP 2013 Directive for electronic devices.
Low turbulence reflex port
Uncompressed bass through the new patent pending low turbulence reflex port design, Laminar Integrated Port – LIP ™
Class D Amplifier
The need to improve energy efficiency has led to the development of switch-mode operated amplifiers in many areas. Gradually this technology has matured also for demanding audio power amplifiers and at Genelec we have chosen to design our own Class D amplifier technology. The M series utilizes these high efficiency, low distortion amplifiers in both channels.

I realize this is not a techniques that I or other plastic surgeons are likely to use, but the surgeon (V Suzanne Klimberg, MD) who developed this technique is from Little Rock, AR. So I thought I would learn more about it and share it with you all. (photo credit)
The removal and analysis of the lymph nodes under the arm remains an important factor in determining the severity of disease in breast cancer patients, but can result in complications, including lymphedema of the arm. Lymphedema of the arm can occur in 5-50 % of patients depending on the extent of the dissection. The ARM technique was developed to try to prevent this complication.
ARM stands from Axillary Reverse Mapping. This technique the way lymph fluid is drained from the arm rather than from the breast. The nodes that "light up" are preserved, therefore preserving the lymph system that drains the arm.
"Mapping the drainage of the arm decreases the chances of unintended disruption of the lymph node system during surgery and reduces the risk of developing swelling in the arm," Klimberg said. "We are the first to study lymph node drainage in the arm and are now using the ARM procedure as standard procedure at UAMS."
Klimberg will soon begin conducting training seminars on the procedure throughout the country. The seminars will be sponsored by the global medical device company Ethicon, a branch of Johnson & Johnson
Clinical Trials such as this one at MD Anderson are being planned to test the validity of ARM's claims to decrease lymphedema.
Detailed Description:
Lymphazurin is a blue dye used usually in breast cancer surgery to trace the drainage pathway that flows to lymph nodes. The dye will travel to the lymph system and will end up in the lymph nodes that are draining the arm.
In this study, lymphazurin will be used to find the drainage routes from your arm, rather than your breast.
Before axillary lymph node surgery, your surgeon will inject lymphazurin into your arm. Your surgeon will watch how the dye flows and find the channels and nodes draining the arm. You will then have standard axillary lymph node (lymph nodes found under the arm) surgery. Any lymph nodes found that are dyed blue (lymph nodes that have traveled down the drainage pathways) that would normally be removed will be removed and sent to the pathology department. Pathologists will check the nodes to see if they have breast cancer cells in them. Also as part of routine care, all other axillary lymph nodes draining the breast will be removed and checked for breast cancer cells.
This is an investigational study. Lymphazurin is FDA approved and commercially available. The use of lymphazurin with axillary reverse mapping is investigational.
Up to 30 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Advertisement Even 20 years is a long, long time in automotive-design years, and so we've established that as the cutoff for this list. We're not talking about model names that have been around forever (e.g., Crown Victoria, Century, Bluebird), but a particular chassis/generation of a car that remained fundamentally unchanged over its lifespan. We're not including light trucks, mostly because it's damn near impossible to sort out Soviet military stuff.Obviously, a lot of quasi-arbitrary judgment calls had to be made with some of the candidates- does a different engine or totally restyled body make for a distinct vehicle?- and so we're confident that we've provided something to enrage every one of you, be it a car that totally qualified that we blew off or a totally undeserving car that we sneaked into the list. Advertisement For example, were there differences between the first few generations of the Ford Fiesta sufficient to make that car ineligible for this list? We said yes, which Fiesta zealots will no doubt consider to be fatwa-grade heresy. In any case, we've probably made some mistakes, and we've definitely missed some cars that belonged on the list. Fire away with the hate mail, by all means!Things get somewhat sticky when it comes to Fiats built outside of Italy. We think the Polski Fiat 125p shouldn't get lumped in with either the Fiat 125 or the Fiat 1300/1500, it being a cost-cutting mashup of the two, so we're giving this 24-year veteran its own place of honor in the Jalopnik Cars Of Immortality Hall Of Fame.Likewise, by the time VAZ got around to the VAZ-2107 (aka Lada Riva), its design had diverged sufficiently from its Fiat 124 ancestry that we consider it and the 124 to be separate cars. You 124 fanatics don't need to fret about that outrage, though- thanks to production in India and Egypt, the 124 doesn't need the later Ladas to nail down 31 years. Sponsored You may have noted the conspicuous shortage of American machinery in this list; other than the first-gen Ford Falcon (built in Argentina until the 1990s) and the Checker Marathon, there were no easy calls to be made for American manufacturers. We've included the rear-wheel-drive GM T Body, because of the bewildering swarm of Kadetts, Chevettes, I-Marks, and low-production South American clones that flew forth from that design; we're saying 21 years for the T, and you're free to argue your guts out about it. How about the GM B platform, which stayed in service from the '61 Buick Invicta to the '96 Chevy Caprice?The General performed nearly half a dozen major redesigns of the B platform over the decades, and not enough components interchange between one B generation and the next for it to be considered the same car for 20 solid years. Same goes for the Ford Panther platform (1979-present) and the hordes of Chrysler K derivatives (eternity). Advertisement Advertisement The Model T was only made for 19 years, so it doesn't make the list (unless someone can dig up some proof that it was being bootlegged in the Maldives), nor does the Willys Aero, even with all those years of production in Brazil. What really broke our hearts was the Rambler American/Renault Torino, which almost made the list at 18 years of production in Wisconsin and Argentina (we were looking for loopholes to prove that the '64 Rambler American was actually a cosmetic facelift of an earlier version, but no dice).This project got really challenging when we got to Chinese-built versions of Japanese and Korean cars. The line between "facelifted license-built copy" and "based on heavily modified chassis design" gets increasingly blurry in China, and most likely we've overlooked a couple of 20+ year Chinese versions of Mazdas or Suzukis. Chinese Volkswagens were a lot easier to figure out, but how about Malaysian Mitsubishi clones- or are they clones?- sold in China? Ai-ya!Click through the galleries above to see fifty cars that were built for 20 years or longer, as close as we could get to the right order.Reply229 repliesLeave a reply

"These sandals are so cute! I've gotten plenty of compliments on them. I actually got them for a VERY low price. The spikes seem to hold on very well. However, these sandals are kind of weird. They have no traction whatsoever on the bottom. Whenever I wear them inside the house, I have to be careful or I'd slip off the carpet. Plus they run a little big. I got a 7, but I probably should've gotten a 6.5. The strap around the ankles are a little too big and the length of the shoes is a little long. Other than that, it's not too bad. :) I love them!"

Umbro and RC Lens announce new four-year deal by Aaron› 17 Mar 2014
The double diamond will be back on French football pitches next season, as today we're delighted to announce that Umbro will be the official kit supplier for Racing Club de Lens. A four-year deal has been agreed with the club from the start of the 2014/15 season, with the first kits being revealed this summer.
Following our recent news that we will be back in the Premier League with Everton, it's exciting for us to announce our deal with RC Lens, another club that fits perfectly with our idea of a passionate club with a close relationship with their fans.
Umbro and RC Lens also have a strong history together – the
team were kitted out by Umbro between 1996 and 2001, during which came their
most successful campaign ever – the French league championship, won by RC Lens
in 1998.
Currently fighting for promotion at the top of Ligue 2, RC Lens still regularly attract crowds of over 30,000 fanatical supporters. The fans are so important to RC Lens that no player at the club will wear the number 12, as it is reserved for their supporters.
The club has always had strong ties with the local community in Lens, with one story behind their nickname of 'the blood and gold' suggesting that it refers to huge effort and reward that came from the coalmines the city was built on.
Today, the club is striving to get back to the top of French football, having nurtured a number of high profile players through their world-class academy.
We're very excited to be working with RC Lens again, and we hope that the club's fans, players and staff are excited about returning to Umbro.

By James Robinson, Exhibition Curator
Today the installation began in earnest with the placing of one of the most significant and compelling reliquaries of the exhibition. The statue reliquary of St Baudime had never left France before its inclusion in the Treasures of Heaven exhibition. It's normally kept in the church of St Nectaire deep in the Auvergne in the centre of France where, sadly, relatively few people have seen it.
Imagine the excitement when the packing case was opened and the eyes of this exceptional figure were exposed again to the light. The eyes were designed to hold the gaze of the onlooker and still command attention today. Made of ivory, horn and wax, they are slightly mobile and move in their sockets – a miracle of medieval technology. The beautifully expressive hands were made to extend benediction and welcome. The right hand may have once held a phial of the saint's blood. Despite its remarkable delicacy, its solid walnut core makes it extraordinarily heavy and it required concentrated effort to place it safely in its display case.
Although this reliquary of St Baudime has always remained in France and has stirred rarely from the church it was made to furnish, it has experienced its fair share of trauma. The settings for the jewels that once adorned the figure are now almost all empty, robbed of their riches at the time of the French Revolution. Later, the reliquary itself was stolen by the infamous Thomas brothers in May 1907 but was recovered in a wine cellar!
A slideshow showing every step of the installation is now online.
Treasures of Heaven: saints, relics and devotion in medieval Europe opens on 23 June 2011. Book tickets online or become a Member and gain free entry to all special exhibitions.
Treasures of Heaven: saints relics and devotion in medieval Europe is sponsored by John Studzinski.

Skip to comments.Snowden heads to Venezuela via Moscow, Havana: airline source
Posted on 06/23/2013 8:14:12 AM PDT by markomalley
Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden will fly from Moscow to Cuba on Monday and then plans to go to Venezuela, a source at the Russian airline Aeroflot said on Sunday.
The source said Snowden was already on his way to Moscow from Hong Kong and would leave for Havana within 24 hours.
The South China Morning Post also reported that Snowden had left Hong Kong for Moscow and that his final destination might be Ecuador or Iceland. The WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website said Snowden was heading for an unnamed "democratic nation".
The flight to Moscow prompted speculation that Snowden might remain in Russia, whose leaders accuse the United States of double standards on democracy and have championed public figures who challenge Western governments.
But Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he was unaware of Snowden's plans and the Foreign Ministry declined immediate comment on whether he had asked for asylum.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Flights from SVO to UIO (Quito, his apparent ultimate destination) are kind of difficult if Q-Group and the FBI are after you. Basically, do you prefer to get grabbed in Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, or New York?
On the other hand, Aeroflot has a non-stop to Havana (12h 40m) for only £689.91. (I had to find that one using a UK service, since Kayak is forbidden to search for flights to Cuber.) I see there is also a non-stop available from Havana to Quito (2h 30m, £306.50), so it's not clear why Caracas is on his itinerary.
He's probably booked on Aeroflot flight SU 150, a non-stop (important) departing at 14:05 (06:05 Eastern). There is an earlier flight at 07:25, but it makes a stop in Paris.
Time for a picture of Snowden to replace Vacation Guy in photoshop pictures.
Let me clearly state - I COULD CARE LESS IF HE IS A SPY. Our country is filled with traitorous scum. Worrying about what Snowden gave to anyone is like me worrying about a guy 20 miles from me pointing a 22 rifle at me when I already have 3 Apache Helicopters over my house ready to unload on me.
Good analogy there
Thank you. Looking forward to him saying something.
Great analogy! The traitors have let in millions of muslims who hate us with a passion. In population we probably have as many muslin.s here now as in some of the Arab countries. (Did our government allow millions of Nazis to immigrate here during WWII?)
Meanwhile after letting millions of the enemy move into our towns and neighborhoods,they want to disarm us. And DHS calls conservatives and patriots potential terrorists. And are now spying on all of us.
The enemy is within the gates!
According to Fox News, Assange took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in England, and has apparently been collaborating on the outcome. Deep pockets are also supporting Snowden.
Iceland might be an uphill battle for Snowden. Icelandic MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir writes:
When it was brought to my attention that Snowden was looking to Iceland for political asylum, I offered to help figure out the legal options for such a request.
These are my findings: Snowden should not come to Iceland unless he will request and be granted citizenship by the Icelandic Parliament. Citizenship is the only legal protection that will shelter him from any demands of extradition to the USA. The ideal situation would be for Snowden to be granted a Icelandic passport as was the case with Bobby Fischer.
Seeking political asylum is a process that can take long time, and there are no guarantees granted against extradition while the process is ongoing. However since Snowden faces possible death sentence his case is stronger, for it is illegal to extradite a person who faces death sentence from Iceland. It is important to note that Iceland has a terrible track record when it comes to granting political asylum to people seeking shelter, as it is hardly never granted and thus a too dangerous path to be recommended for Snowden.
I thought that you had asked which polls showed a majority wanting Snowden prosecuted. I was answering that question not suggesting anything about your personal views.
Are you asking 'English' deep pocket support for Snowden? That's what I'm wondering too..
Telling ANY foreigners about what and how you are hacking is treason. Violation of security protocol. Period.
This has nothing to do with Uhbama. It would be the same security breach as under Bush or Klintoon.
Just because he's right to reveal something violating our rights as individuals doesn't give him carte blanche to hand out the nation's plans to foreigners.
>>> England? <<<
Are you positing that Snowden is heading to England?
I believe England would agree to the extradition of Snowden to the United States, thus the reason Assange is holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
I asked because England is no where close to where the MSM said he may be going. Im a bit surprised. Plus, he may have trouble leaving the embassy in The UK.
Can you help me with a post/article where Snowden revealed how the US spies? Not just the name of the network, but how.
Tell us what he actually gave to anyone? You can't because you don't know. Don't be repeating the Obama cronies lies and the leftist media who are demonizing him, and expect us thinking people to buy it for one second.
We do know he exposed illegal unconstitutional activity by the US govt. I support the Constitution and freedoms and rights of the American people not this corrupt govt and all it's tentacles of power.
I'm curious about the deep pockets .. I hope they're Vatican-deep and not Soros-deep.
Yep. Defending the constitution is a very different thing from what this Quisling punk did, after he lied and cheated his way into the Termite mound.
Naturally, he can only travel to nations hostile to the USA, otherwise, he'd be "renditioned" back to the USA asap.
I only got through the first page, but at last, a sensible post. Yup, it seems we conservatives do that a lot. As an alternative to .. oh, I dunno ... some kind of actual action against the horrors being dumped on us in America? This source is Reuters, for cryin' out loud!
You know, some of us might should (double verb much used in Texas, therefore correct) learn to engage brain (including watchfulness) before engaging mouth (...uh ...keyboard)
Let's just watch the boy. Rand Paul seems to think he's okay.
The guy at the very least is another attention whore. He went around the world to tell just about everyone else whatever information he had going on. It pretty much comes down to Snowden throwing a fit for just about everyone to see. As for Obama, please, it took him HOW LONG TO EVEN CONSIDER SNOWDEN A TRAITOR?!!! This stinks of incompetence from our POTUS to me. But what else can we expect from some spoiled kid (yes, he's really that immature) who never really had to act as a manager?
As soon as the Russians copy the hard drives on his computers they'll kick him out.
That is a good question! It's pretty obvious he hates ours. How many secrets has he given out or authorized?
Why wouldn't they? They got everything from him that he could steal. Why keep a guy around who would sell his country out to them? They know very well he can't be trusted.
It should be obvious that the President has loyalty only to himself. What entity does he most frequently refer to in his speeches, so much so that it has become comical?
If the United States wants him badly enough, it won't matter where he goes. Hopefully that happens sooner than later.
The disturbing part is that he's managed to be out this long with no consequences against him. Usually something would happen that would not be in Snowden's favor.
Yes, I've seen them too. Apples and oranges.
Snowden did the right thing to blow the whistle on the Stasi-like activities of this out-of-control government agency. How can one even think of honoring an oath to a government that is in TREASON to the people and the Constitution?
SU 150 would normally take him over US airspace. I will be interesting to see if this flight deviates from its usual route to stay out of it or if it will be tempting the government to force it to land like it did with the Achille Lauro hijackers in 1985.
"Iceland might be an uphill battle for Snowden. Icelandic MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir writes:"
I did not know that the Icelandic PM had made that statement.
The main thrust of what I was trying to say is that if the U.S.A. had wanted Fischer they would have captured him one way or another. They did not want to capture Fischer.
I do not believe that they actually want Snowden, either. Capturing him would open up a can of worms for the government. It would be almost impossible for the government to prosecute Snowden without exposing even more 'illegal' actions by said government.
Who gives a damn where he is headed?...
He can't come back here after exposing this corrupt government...It's why people like Feinstien, Boxers, Obama and the homo leftist republicans are pissed.
Watch for the continued mountain of propaganda and lies coming out of fedgov...
And lying corrupt government, who have now been exposed for illegally monitoring, spying on, wire tapping, threatening, targeting, harassing by Snowden and others, have your best interest in mind? Are you freaking kidding?
Suck up the corrupt biggov propaganda.
You're now aligned with Pelosi, homo Lindsay Graham, Obama and the rest of the lying corrupt running government.
Of course, I am not surprised by your comment.
Indeed. Currently over northern Quebec. I don't know how accurate that link is, but zoom in and check out how it follows the west coast of Florida before dropping into Havana. Hope he has a window seat.
Flying to find sanctuary with our enemies doesn't look good on him...
The name changed, but nothing else has.
Then there are a lot of conservative idiots.
Based on reports over the weekend....Snowden planned this months ago. I imagined that when he arrived in Hawaii...he walked into work every single day with a thumb-drive.
I would also imagine that he's left various virus items within their system. And it wouldn't surprise me if he's connected the secure network....to a in-house unclassified network, where he downloads new stuff easily and daily. The whole facility....in my mind...ought to be shutdown and just closed. You can't trust the integrity of that building anymore.

June 27, 2013
CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn today released the below statement regarding the U.S. Senate's vote to pass comprehensive national immigration reform.
"Today our nation took a significant step towards repairing its broken immigration system. I commend Illinois Senators Durbin and Kirk for their votes in favor of this common-sense and comprehensive national immigration reform proposal.
"Since its founding, America has drawn strength from immigrants who have come in search of a better life. This bill honors our history by establishing a new, fair path towards earned citizenship for 11 million undocumented individuals.
"Immigration reform is not only the right thing to do. It will also stimulate Illinois' economy over the next 10 years by creating an estimated 4,400 new jobs annually and generating $1.6 billion in additional taxes from immigrants to state coffers. It will send a signal that the people of the United States embrace the freedom-seekers and entrepreneurs who wish only for a shot at the American Dream and a chance to contribute.
"As governor of one of the nation's most immigrant-friendly states, I call on the U.S. House of Representatives to act quickly to pass this legislation."

The WOSP-EFC project (water, oil, steel, paper – electrics, fire and cloth) looks at the role and capacity of materials to capture and delineate time, place and history. There are many components of this work, coming from a variety of sources ranging from an electrical conduit clamp taken out of the belly of the Enola Gay (the B59 that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima) to the Fiat Topolino car I drove as a twenty-year-old art student, eligible as I was at the time to be conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War.
At the end of my studies, I intended driving my Topolino (little mouse) to Europe. In the 1960s it was possible to travel throughout the Middle and Far East making such journeys overland, ultimately connecting, for the Australian traveller, one hemisphere with the other. Changing conditions in the region over the last forty years and, more generally, related global economic, geopolitical and religious developments have changed the nature and conditions of travel and participation in that region, and indeed the entire globe.
Like every person's philosophy of the world, The WOSP-EFC project is an entirely 'author-centric' view based on experiences, materials and images that I have come across over time. In turn, they have progressively strung together my little, grand narrative of place and being.

Skip to comments.Researchers launch exploration for "lake monsters" in China (33-49 foot salmon eat horses, cattle)
Posted on 07/29/2005 10:42:59 AM PDT by dead
BEIJING (AFP) - Chinese researchers will reportedly launch an investigation next month to study "lake monsters" in northwest China's Xinjiang region.
For hundreds of years, there have been rumors that mysterious creatures that devour livestock live at Kanasi lake, China's deepest alpine lake, located in Xinjiang, at the region bordering Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Russia.
Horses, cattle and sheep are said to go missing near the lake every year, the Xinhua news agency said Firday.
In 1985, teachers and students from Xinjiang University's biology department launched the first search for the creatures and discovered that dozens of huge red fish, each 10 to 15 meters (33 to 49 feet) long and weighing more than four tons lived in the lake, according to Xinhua.
Scientists concluded after a two-year-long investigation in 1989 that the fish, a species of Taimen -- a mighty salmonid that grows to monstrous proportions -- were the "monsters."
In August last year, a team of Chinese scientists went to the site for an exploration.
But researchers still do not know how many Taimen are living in the lake or how long they have been there, how big the largest one is and whether the livestock that have gone missing for centuries were really devoured by the fish.
Next month, another team comprised of ecological experts and volunteers, will observe the lake from August 12 to try to find answers.
In recent years, the lake monster legend has drawn an increasing number of visitors and explorers to the lake, raising concerns about the effects on the ecological situation there.
The expedition also aims to raise public awareness about the area's ecological problems.
scary salmon pong
Sounds like a big fish story to me.
(sorry...slinking away...giggling to self)
Sesame bagel, Lox, with a schmear.
More likely the region has had a little old livestock-rustling tradition that goes all the way back, with everyone finding it convenient to blame giant "lake monsters."
But, hey, if brings in the researchers and tourists more power to 'em.
Man, we should try to import one to Fresno and have a big Free Republic salmon cook-out.
Kewl. They're eatable, too.
The people in China could stop eating their fetus soup and start eating Salmon steaks instead.
Man: Hey Lo. Let's steal some livestock
Lo: No way, we;ll get caught when they notice it is missing.
Man: Nah, we'll make up a story about a huge bird.
Lo: A bird that carried off cows?
Man: OK a huge salmon.
Lo: Good answer. Let's go.
Paging Roger Corman. Maybe there are no giant landlocked salmon but we can still get a good "B" movie out of it.
Hmmm, that's a mighty fishy story. I assume this fish has legs that it uses when it walks out of the lake to devour the horses. :o) I don't think horses walk deep enough into the water for a big "monster" to grab it.
---severe case of "me tooness" Our giant cow eating salmon is bigger than your punyass Loch Ness Munster and you can take your Sasquatch and retrain him as a Gerbil.---thus sayeth the Chicoms. And just wait 'til we find the giant Karp---we'll put him in our dinosaur museum. (they actually do have a dinosaur museum complete with animated videos and mechanical working specimens) For whatever reason the Chicoms have great interest in weird, large, critters.
ALready done......
and this one.......
What I want to know is where do I sign up for the fishing expedition?
Your wrong there, friend.
We had an old mare that loved to go decided to go for a swin. Unfortunately we were riding her once on a very hot day when she headed to the deep end of the pond and rolled over spilling us kids into the water. Luckily we knew how to swim at that age.
I need a new keyboard! Coffee everywhere! How many bags of charcoal would you need for that BBQ?
How big of a hook would you think you would need to put a cow on it?
My friend Gil just sent me a link to this. He's a reel good bass player. But kind of loud - it'll give you a haddock.
The real show has got to be when they go upstream to spawn!
Sounds even bigger, meaner and more dangerous than the Franken Salmon in the book, White Death, by Clive Cussler.
Only after they've been dead awhile.
I hope it doesn't damage your herring.
A very large fish, it once attained a maximum of over 2 meters and 100 kilograms. The taimen is a top predator, feeding on smaller fishes and also amphibians, small mammals and birds.
largest verified specimen 109 kilograms-close to 250 lbs
Only when he plays scales.
He's spiteful - does it just for the halibut.
This fish? Will swaller yer hole....and the rest of you too.
Is there a cryptobiology ping list?

Thursday of the 7th Week
The Gospel according to Luke 11:47-54; 12:1
The Lord said to the Jews who had come to him, "Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say. In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trod upon one another, he began to say to his disciples first, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Seka from For a friend Bought this for a friend who is in a senior citizens retirement center. She loves "powder" with puffs. She is having a 83rd birthday in September...so purchased this as a gift for her. I remember what a lovely scent this was, and am sure she will appreciate it.
