Radiation therapy for NHL may be used to destroy lymphoma cells or to prevent the cells from growing and reproducing. It may also be used to relieve pain or discomfort caused by an enlarged spleen or swollen lymph nodes. For patients with NHL, radiation is generally confined to the lymph nodes, the areas surrounding the lymph nodes or an extranodal site (outside of the lymph system).
Depending on your individual needs, we may combine radiation treatment with other innovative therapies, like immunotherapy and chemotherapy, to prevent the growth of new cancer cells.
The potential side effects of radiation therapy for NHL depend on the treatment dose, the part of the body being radiated and other factors. Radiation may cause a drop in white blood cell count, which can increase your risk of infection. Some other common side effects include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea and/or skin reactions.
As you receive radiation treatment for NHL, we will monitor your blood counts regularly. If needed, we'll provide therapies to stimulate your blood cell production. You may also receive antibiotics to prevent or treat infection.
We'll also work with you to manage any side effects of radiation treatment. You'll receive integrative oncology services like nutrition therapy, naturopathic medicine, pain management, oncology rehabilitation and mind-body medicine—all under one roof. These therapies can help keep you strong so you can continue to participate in activities you enjoy.
Radiation therapy uses targeted energy (e.g., X-rays, radioactive substances) to destroy cancer cells, shrink tumors, and/or alleviate certain cancer-related symptoms. It may be used:
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our radiation oncologists are experienced in using advanced technologies to deliver targeted radiation therapy while also proactively managing side effects.
Some radiation therapy delivery methods include:
Our radiation oncologists specialize in delivering maximum radiation doses to tumors with less damage to healthy tissues and organs. Our radiation oncologists will work closely with you and the rest of your care team to deliver radiation therapy based on your individual needs.
Radiation therapy is an important part of treatment for many of our patients. Since each cancer type requires a different approach, your treatment plan will be based on your unique needs and treatment goals.
Our radiation oncologists use advanced imaging techniques before and during radiation treatment so we can closely track the tumor. We use highly targeted radiation technologies to deliver maximum radiation doses to tumors, with less impact on healthy tissues and organs. Thereby, we can often provide options to patients who have reached their maximum tolerated dosage of traditional radiation.
Depending on your individual needs, you may receive radiation therapy alone or in combination with other treatment modalities like surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or immunotherapy. Throughout your treatment, your radiation oncologist will monitor the effectiveness of the radiation therapy and modify your treatment plan accordingly.
Typical radiation therapy can be damaging to the body and cause unpleasant side effects, such as skin changes, fatigue, nausea, and other side effects, depending on the part of your body being treated. During your radiation treatment, clinicians from a variety of supportive care services will work with you to reduce side effects and improve your quality of life.

Hot flashes are sudden feelings of warmth, which are usually most intense over the face, neck and chest. Your skin may redden, as if you're blushing. Hot flashes can also cause profuse sweating and may leave you chilled.
Although other hormonal conditions can cause them, hot flashes most commonly are due to menopause — the time when a woman's menstrual periods stop. In fact, hot flashes are the most common symptom of the menopausal transition.
How often hot flashes occur varies from woman to woman, but usually the range is from one or two a day to one an hour. There are a variety of treatments for particularly bothersome hot flashes.
During a hot flash, you may experience:
Hot flashes vary in frequency — you may have few or many in a day — and each hot flash usually subsides in a few minutes. They're particularly common at night. Most women who experience hot flashes have them for more than a year, but they usually stop on their own within four to five years.
If hot flashes become particularly bothersome, consider making an appointment with your doctor to discuss treatment options.
The exact cause of hot flashes isn't known, but it's likely related to several factors. These include changes in reproductive hormones and in your body's thermostat (hypothalamus), which becomes more sensitive to slight changes in body temperature.
Not all women who go through menopause have hot flashes. It's not clear why only some women get hot flashes. The following factors increase your risk:
Nighttime hot flashes (night sweats) can wake you from sleep and, over time, may cause chronic insomnia. These sleep disturbances can, in turn, eventually lead to memory problems, anxiety and depression in some women.
You'll likely start by seeking advice about your hot flashes from your family doctor or gynecologist.
To prepare for your appointment:
Some basic questions to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions, as well.
Some questions your doctor might ask include:
Your doctor can usually diagnose hot flashes based on a description of your symptoms. To confirm the cause of your hot flashes, your doctor may suggest blood tests to check whether you're in menopausal transition.
The most effective treatment for hot flashes is estrogen, but taking this hormone can increase your risk of developing other health problems. Medications such as antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs also may help reduce hot flashes.
Discuss the pros and cons of various treatments with your doctor. If hot flashes don't interfere with your life, you may not need treatment. For most women, hot flashes fade gradually within a few years.
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones used to reduce hot flashes. Women who have had a hysterectomy can take estrogen alone. But if you still have a uterus, you should take progesterone along with estrogen to protect against cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer).
With either regimen, current recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed to relieve symptoms.
A combination drug of bazedoxifene with conjugated estrogens (Duavee) has been approved for treatment of menopausal symptoms. This drug may avoid the increased risk of cancer, but more study is needed.
Estrogen therapy is not a good option if you've ever had a blood clot or breast cancer.
Low doses of certain antidepressants may decrease hot flashes. Examples include:
Brisdelle is the only antidepressant medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating hot flashes. But, it's expensive compared with generic formulations. The other drugs and formulations are prescribed off-label.
Antidepressants aren't as effective as hormone therapy for severe hot flashes, but they can be helpful to women who can't or don't want to use hormones. Possible side effects include headache, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, weight gain, dry mouth, sexual dysfunction, suicidality and a withdrawal syndrome if the medicines are abruptly stopped. Some side effects may decrease over time or with an adjustment to the dose. If you have suicidal thoughts while taking one of these medications, seek medical help immediately.
Other medications that may offer relief for some women include:
If your hot flashes are mild, you may be able to manage them with lifestyle changes. Follow these tips:
Many women have turned to alternative medicine, including mind and body techniques and dietary supplements to help curb hot flashes. There is a shortage of well-designed studies on complementary health practices for hot flashes, but research is progressing.
A growing body of evidence suggests that certain techniques can help ease hot flashes, including:
People often assume that "natural" products cause no harm. However, all supplements have potentially harmful side effects, and supplements can also interact with medications you're taking for other medical conditions. Always review what you're taking with your doctor.
Dietary supplements commonly used for menopause symptoms include:

Social Justice: AT&T Plows Over Tenants' Rights to save their iPhone Business in Silicon Valley
-- by Michelle Kraus
Silicon Valley's crown jewel, Palo Alto just got mowed down last evening by AT&T. To be specific AT&T effectively tied the hands of many of the City policymakers, and then plowed through the City Council and over 35 residents leaving their bodies scattered on the sidewalks in their wake. Using the big stick approach, they bullied and threatened action in the Federal court system if their addendum to their existing site permit was not approved; and the Council caved to the mighty sword sacrificing many of their downtown rental residents. Most troubling is that with these actions of passing this addendum for the mounting of two AT&T antennas on this residential building, this City Council may have set a precedent to severely limit tenants' rights going forward in this particular city and longer term in the state. Commercial building owners may now have enlarged rights that grant them the ability to railroad their tenants with whatever side businesses they choose. If this decision by Palo Alto holds, California may be able to rewrite the Civil Codes that govern the rights granted to landlords by allowiing them to enter the premises far beyond the scope of maintenance and/or emergency. You see the only way to get to this balcony is by gaining access through the bedrooms of the residents.
Effectively this City Council has opened a hornet's nest that may continue to sting them as this decision raises questions of social justice for over 40% of the City's residents, of which over 70% are management or other professionals in the tech industry. We all know that we live in a society that is fraught with corporate collusion, fraud and bad behavior. Yet it is troubling to see this kind of reprehensible behavior in our own backyard without tacit consideration for the privacy, health and/or safety of the rental residents. Palo Alto is a city that is full of bright entrepreneurs willing to risk it all to create technologies that can change the world. Sadly, none of them signed up to give away their rights. Who would have thought that liberal Palo Alto, the place of big dreams, would sink to this level! Most importantly, what is to prevent other such activities that suggest some degree of collusion between the private and public sectors? Not much with this precedent setting action, huh? Will Palo Alto become a city that only protects their landed gentry? With this decision, they are certainly well on their way to solely protecting property owners over the serfs that rent.
Taking this further, can building owners throughout the City now run either brothels or daycare centers while residents are working during the day or evening? After all given this recently enacted City precedent – building owners now have the right to discount the objections of their tenants to cut whatever side deal that want. This means that building owners can engage in mixed use and side deals regardless of the vocal protests of their tenants. As outrageous as this may seem, this is the box that has been pried open with last evening's decision and it may prove to a gift that keeps on giving. The young, the bright and the able may now choose to take their start-ups elsewhere and be treated far better in the short and longer term. Maybe there were bigger reasons that Facebook, the symbol of all that is good in Palo Alto, has chosen to jump ship and move to a neighboring city.
Note: This post will appear in other blogs.

I think I can piece it together but the details would be good to know.

Answers by Expert:
I am unable to answer enquiries concerning objects, which are NOT related to the areas of Fine Art and Antiques. Nor will I; on the sole basis of any photographic images be willing to give any definitive monetary valuations, or monetary opinions. In such cases I would always advise on getting real time valuations and opinions from reputable and qualified auction houses, or third parties. In some applicable cases, I may perhaps give general indications of value, based on the presented materials. True valuations always need a direct hands on approach, with perhaps also the necessary research and verifications. Broadly open to almost all questions, regarding the majority of both European, American quality objects, which are related to both Antiques and Fine Art. This also includes modern 20th century designer objects such as furniture etc. My own particular comfort zone areas would be; The decorative Arts, marble, stone, furniture, ivory, bone, amber, ceramics and porcelain, sculpture, glass, silver and metal objects etc. I will also answer inquiries, and give opinions concerning Dutch 17th, 18th and 19th century paintings. Please note that I do have limitations and cannot possibly answer all questions, as the field is very extensive. VERY IMPORTANT and PLEASE NOTE: Please note that; providing > GOOD CLEAR and Preferably High Resolution < photo's of the object(s)in question, is vital. Pics taken with a cell/mobile phone, are of a poor quality and best avoided. Posting signatures only, or just fragments of an artifact - will only provide me with insufficient information and it is often quite misleading. So please; Do post good clear overall images, with your question(s). Failing to do so, may cause rejection, which is also a great pity.
Since the early 90s I lead a team of very enthusiastic staff at a business, where have the following disciplines;
Restoration and refurbishment of historical buildings and gardens, including interior design.
The restoration and care of Fine Art and Antiques at our restoration studio
We are also Fine Art and Antique dealers, besides being collectors ourselves for a great number of years.
The main professional organization of which I am a member is the BNA, or Association of Dutch Architects, which is equivalent to the US; American Institute of Architects. Affiliated to the Art Loss Register in London and the International Cites Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.
Villa Rufolo; The forgotten paradise on earth. Published by the University of Aarhus, Denmark Book reviews and articles for International Archis Magazine, in the Netherlands.
Since I wished to become a Restoration Architect, firstly I took my BA degree in Art History. Then after graduation, I followed this immediately by studies to graduate and become a Restoration Architect. Ever since then, I have been an established Restoration Architect and Antiquarian. Since a great number of buildings are also inhabited by Fine Art fixtures and furnishings, I also became absorbed by all the artifacts, which go to fill them and not only the edifices themselves. This and much more, was the reason for gaining an advisory post on the City Commission; For The Protection and Care of Historic Monuments of Amsterdam - Amstelveen.
Awards and Honors
Citations and gratitude; From the Town of Amalfi for the groundwork achieved in order bring back the Historical past to the Medieval Villa Rufolo and its vital role in the region. BA in Art Hisory. Graduation Diploma as an Architect & Antiquarian; and also practicing as such. I have also completed a 3 year course in antiques, at the VHOK in Amsterdam VHOK is translated as; ( "The Association of Fine Art Dealers In The Netherlands.")

A risk factor increases your chances of developing cancer. Modifying the following risk factors may help reduce your risk of uterine or endometrial cancer.
The use of birth control pills is associated with decreased risk of uterine cancer. But experts do not recommend taking these pills solely to prevent uterine cancer.
Preventive suggestions include controlling your weight, controlling your glucose levels if you have diabetes, and maintaining good general health.
Losing weight may help decrease your risk of uterine cancer. Women who are overweight tend to have higher levels of estrogens, and this may be why their risk of uterine cancer is higher than average.
Uterine cancer is more common in women with
diabetes. This may simply be due to the fact that being overweight puts women at higher risk for both diseases. There may be other factors beyond the common link with
obesity, however. Some of the metabolic changes that occur in diabetes may actually contribute to the development of uterine cancer. Therefore, good control of diabetes with diet, exercise, and medicines as prescribed by your doctor could possibly reduce your risk of uterine cancer.
See your doctor regularly. Inform your doctor of any menstrual abnormalities, and report any menstrual bleeding that occurs after
menopause. Discuss options for managing symptoms of menopause with your doctor.
Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) have been shown to decrease the risk of uterine cancer, especially in women who have not borne children. It is theorized that the progestin in the pills may offer a protective benefit. The use of birth control pills is associated with decreased risk of uterine cancer, but experts do not recommend taking these pills solely to prevent uterine cancer.

I think Mike Gillislee is probably the best value for the guys we picked. I really like his upside, and where we got him in the draft.
I think Mike Gillislee is probably the best value for the guys we picked. I really like his upside, and where we got him in the draft.
Kyle Long's draft stock is so manufactured based on his lineage it's ridiculous. His father being named Howie Long didn't stop him from becoming a drug addict in the first place.
Twitter: @ckparrot
This might go down as Ireland's worst draft. I have creeping suspicion that he blew this draft bad, considering the picks we had and ammunition to move around. How many more drafts can Ross keep giving this buffoon?!
Outside of Long's off the field issues he tested out great, he would have been the fastest lineman at the combine if not for the two freaks.
As far as calculating values, there should be mathematical adjustment for 1st round picks taken in the 4th and so on, 'cause that's a greater value than 3rd round pick selected in the 7th, even tho the spread maybe the same. Opposite goes for reaches. ( I did not see Frederick's name? odd.)
I wouldn't necessarily say he should've been a 7th round pick, but that's where I had him graded in terms of my interest. In other words, that's where I would've taken him to play right tackle. I don't buy the hype with him. Furthermore, I don't grade offensive lineman high that lack experience. The majority of Watson's pre-draft hype was built upon what was supposed to be outstanding athletic ability before he went to the combine and tested at the bottom of virtually every category. I don't subscribe to the upside, and as I mentioned a long time ago, I didn't like his age.
The real talent to me is found in Cameron Erving and Josue Matias when I study FSU's offensive line.
Despite the Cowboys reaching for Frederick, he wasn't one of the top 26 biggest reaches in my opinion. If I had kept going, Frederick's name would've been included along the way. Fact is, there were that many reaches that were bigger.
He was #99 on my big board and Dallas took him at #31 overall, or a score of -68.... which wouldn't make my top 26 reaches.
I grade these value picks and reaches linear because it provides an absolute reference for everyone to look at without me having to split hairs and go into lengthy explanations.
I'd also disagree that a 1st rounder taken in the 4th round is greater value than a 3rd rounder taken in the 7th if the spread is equal. I only had 25 players with 1st round grades to begin with. The talent pool was much more watered down in the 7th round where a kid who I felt had 3rd round talent (Chris Gragg for example) was taken. The talent pool was much closer together in the 4th round.

This painting, which came from the Chigi collection, was purchased by the Italian State in 1918. It was probably an altar painting commissioned for the chapel of Santissimi Apostoli in Palazzo Chigi in Rome, for which documents refer to a payment of 100 scudi made to Baciccio in March 1669. It would thus appear that the painting was made before Gaulli followed Bernini's advice and went, in the spring of that year, to study in Modena and Parma. This would explain the great stylistic difference between this work and a later version with variations, probably a study, now in the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. The study uses a warmer palette and motifs suggested by Correggio.
The Chigi altar painting reveals many pictorial ideas acquired by the young Baciccio after his arrival in Rome and before his artistic association with Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, which was to have a profound influence on much of Gaulli's artistic maturity.
Clear links can be seen with the Bologna school of painting in the works of the Carraccis, Domenichino, and especially Guido Reni, from whom the artist takes the lovely classical lineaments of the Madonna and the Mannerist features of the sleeping Child. Baciccio also pays homage to the latest developments in Baroque painting by Cortona, who uses light to infuse drapery and elements of the landscape with movement.

[FONT=Arial Narrow]
West Covina WM had several cases of the Evolutions figures on shelves, as well as the new body 501st Clone figure.
Monrovia TRU had those new Evo sets too.
Duarte Target and WM had sorrows.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
i don't hunt a lot in the morning, so i haven't seen all those guys yet, but when i do it'll be funny.
Rodeo Target - under construction, leftovers of wave 7, 8 , SL -nothing good.
ghetto crenshaw Walmart - 1 lonely Po Nudo, many see through Anakins, nothing great, not even rex sticker SL if i recall. They did have a few new Joe comic packs though - battle damage SE vs. SS, and a few crimson guard vs. cobra trooper packs. I was wearing my show black and credential for the Mercedes Benz show, and 3 different people asked me products when i was browsing the dvds. When do wally employees wear all black? I answered one guys ques - he was in a wheelchair & told the other people I didn't work there.

Coming soon. Crossposting from my regular blog to here as well...
Long time no visit. But I've been busy...
Because of time constraints, I will not really be on Advogato much anymore. I need to set up my own page, and there might be a diary there. I also will be contributing more to the H2G2 site. It's been lots of fun, and I'll see you around. If you want to contact me further, you can mail me at Schizopolis.net. Ciao.
Forget the atom bomb. Leave the TV out of this. The Stereo System is the worst invention of the modern era. No other device enables assholes to annoy as many people as possible. And I seem to be surrounded by quite a few. There's the oaf across the way who fancies himself a house DJ and has to play the most repetitive music possible at MAXIMUM VOLUME while sitting in his window in underwear and smoking (some people should wear lots of clothes; if he laid on the beach, Greenpeace would try to push him back into the water (if you get my drift)). And then there is the stoner downstairs who decided that last night was the perfect time for bass-heavy rap. All night long. And let's not forget the young toughs who cruise the neighborhood blasting their music out of their cars.
There is a certain fascism to loud stereo playing. The feeling that your music is not only superior, but that you MUST force it on all around you. And it only seems to involve a certain type of person. Young egotistical men who feel they are superior to everyone else. Maybe they should have a special background check for stereo equipment... I'm sorry, we'd love to sell you the Bose, but our psychological check shows you're a vain prick... Ah well, I can dream.
Buying a place in Brooklyn is starting to look more attractive all the time.
Had a relatively awful weekend after a busy week. Listening to FSOL's ISDN and it is pretty cool. Broadcasting improvisational concerts at home to radio stations via ISDN was a pretty wacky idea back then (1994), but now I suppose it's relatively painless with streaming audio from a web site. Funny how technology changes.
I've been reading The Slate Diaries, a fascinating book of diary entries written by various figures for Slate magazine over the last few years. While it is interesting to see what famous people like Beck or Benazir Bhutto or the Simpsons head producer write, I find the entries by the classified ads staffer or the surgeon more interesting. And it's interesting to see all the different "voices" the text has as a result. It makes me view the diary entries here in a different light.
Otherwise, next week is Thanksgiving.
Another Monday morning. Got out of a cab downtown this morning and a homeless man shouted "Uh oh! Here comes the KGB!" about me. I know the black leather coat may seem a bit menacing, but the idea of me being an ominous agent is laughable (I don't really have the build for it). Girlfriend gets to go to an arts reception at Peter Norton's (of Utilities fame) swank New York apartment tonight. I'm a bit jealous.
rsousa, I would have to agree about "Dancer in the Dark". At first, I alternated between thinking it was brilliant and idiotic. By the end, I was left speechless. It's really like nothing else I've seen, although some people hated it. It certainly doesn't seem like it should work:
Hmm, I made it into the stats page's undeserved master list. Fair enough, I pointed out my problems with it months ago myself. I think it's a fault with any popularity-based metric; very popular people can elevate others with a single vote. Funny this comes up around the same time as the Google scam discussion (another popularity metric). If you care, you can read my older diary entries.
Yesterday, I was out at dinner with a few friends when I was asked whether I ever meet any programmers outside of work. In all honesty, I think it's been 3 times total. I wind up talking more to writers or architecture professors or gallery owners. Of course, this was one of the reasons I moved here instead of San Francisco. I don't like talking shop much. And it's nice to be in the minority (and know it's not indirectly my fault that rents have become insane). I don't mind developers, but it seems that programmers are often a bit more narrowly focused that other people I meet. Of course, when I meet any people who could ONLY talk about abstract art or post-modern architecture, I find them boring too.
Find is such an incredibly useful command. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it sometimes. Now it's helping me to clean up several gigs of month-old files on a disk. If it weren't for MKS Utilities, NT would be completely useless. Incidentally, I have become quite peeved at how NT crawls to a halt whenever there is any serious disk I/O. At least my UNIX systems get it right.
Enough random thoughts for now...
Halloween turned out to be fun. Went with some friends visiting from Boston to watch the Village Halloween Parade. The crowds were reasonable, the weather wasn't too bad, and the parade itself is always fascinating. I think they had a good time. It apparently was broadcast on cable, and I'll see what the tape has on it. It's nice to live so close to the parade route, except that I always get to hear the horns of idiots who drive into the city and expect the traffic to somehow vanish in front of them.
Today has been a bit of a bummer though. November is just a bleak month, and I'm a bit sad that National Spooky Month is over. I suppose that listening to Bjork's "Dancer in the Dark" soundtrack doesn't help... ;)
XML is actually quite cool for similar reasons to those outlined by agntdrake. Here at the company, we needed to re-engineer our infrastructure to support computer-driven downloads of data, load balancing, and a bunch of other neat things while maintaining backwards compatibility. We managed to build a system based on XML in a few months that we have been using ever since. Basically, all of our data is encapsulated inside of Business Objects which respond to certain methods. Our clients like getting data in XML, and it even works through firewalls. It was SOAP before there was SOAP. Now we are working on metadata. Allowing people to get information about the data in our databases is interesting, but it raises all sorts of new challenges (besides understanding Schema standards).
Why the Web Needs Groves is an article that XML heads might find interesting. It identifies some serious problems with the current XML programming model (eg, DOMs) and proposes an interesting solution.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

A few people are so very bothered by the fact that there are independant voters out there. In fact, I've been told more times than I can count: who I voted for (incorrectly), what my beliefs are, etc... It must be the old Bushism...you either with me or against me, mentality. Its black and white thinking. Something most grow out of somewhere in their teen years, and begin to see much of the world is in the gray zone. Life doesn't have many simple answers. For the crime of looking at issues from different angles, and going so far as trying to see someone else's points, you get labeled a flaming liberal and attacked. Have at it.
I respect all others points of view, except when they become violent or trample the rights of others. (flying planes into buildings, clubbing gays to death because they're gay, shooting doctors in the head in church)
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Dback -- Read a little closer. I am ticked at the Dems for playing kumbiya with the Republicans. They should have gotten everyone on their side lined up, then introduced the bill. Let the Republicans whine and groan. The Democrats owned the hammer in both houses and they could have and should have got her done.
If the Republicans were serious about participation in forming a bill they would have sat down with ex-Senator Dave Durenberger, who is arguably the Republicans' best man on health care.

God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Should we maybe get back to debating the factual material?
Congressman John Fleming:http://cbo.gov/ftpdocs/107xx/doc1078...0-Premiums.pdfAccording to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), under the Senate version of Health Care Reform being negotiated, private health insurance premiums in the individual market would rise by as much as $2,100.
This is dated Nov. 2009. Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure what the reconciliation amendments will change, but this is based on the Senate bill.Is this possibly a key point? Of the 30 million uninsured, how many are in the young/healthy group v. how many in the pre-existing condition group?
Policies would have to cover a specified set of services and to have an "actuarial value" of at least 60 percent (meaning that the plan would, on average, pay that share of the costs of providing covered services to a representative set of enrollees). In addition, insurers would have to accept all applicants during an annual open-enrollment period, and insurers could not limit coverage for preexisting medical conditions. Moreover, premiums could not vary to reflect differences in enrollees' health or use of services and could vary on the basis of an enrollee's age only to a limited degree
If everyone pays the same premium (can't be different based on age or health), then it surely appears that those young/healthy people will pay a whole lot more than they would today. Actuarily, you cannot increase benefits & retain fiscal soundness without increasing the gross income to the funding.I don't see why all co-pays are verbotten. Even $5 or $10 on a co-pay is manageable for almost every insured; and even small co-pays can go a long way to adding to fiscal soundness when multiplied by 30 million.
Among other changes, health insurance plans: could not impose lifetime limits on the total amount of services covered; could rescind coverage only for certain reasons; would have to cover certain preventive services with no cost sharing; and would have to allow unmarried dependents to be covered under their parents' policies up to age 26. Those changes would also apply to new coverage provided by large employers, including firms that "self-insure"—meaning that the firm, rather than an insurer, bears the financial risk of providing coverage.
I can understand what about self-insured programs, but might not some employees withdraw from those plans if possible to get enhanced coverage in some other way? Wouldn't those employees be ticked off if their present plan fell short of the mandated plan. In that way, it could cost business more than they are paying now, depending on what plan the company presently offers. ... I think, but would not swear to the fact that I am interpreting this as the employees or the govt would interpret it.However, current policies that had been purchased in any of those markets or that were offered by self-insured firms would be exempt from all of those changes if they were maintained continuously—that is, policies held since the date of enactment of the legislation would be "grandfathered."
So, if an employee gets a subsidy because its income is too low to pay for its premiums (grandfathered in?), the employer will be penalized. That seems to sort of negate the concept of being grand-fathered into the new plan.
and penalize certain employers if their workers received subsidies through the exchanges
Does that mean that if an employer is providing a very good plan, but the cost of the plan is high, the employer will then have to absorb more of the cost so that his employees don't need to be govt-subsidized.
If this wouldn't push the whole concept of health insurance to total govt control, given a little time, I'd be very surprised.But will Congress have the courage to reduce the Medicare reimbursement rates to do this? Don't necessarily believe that is the right thing to do, but seems to be a "requirement" of the available CBO evaluation of the Senate bill.
substantially reduce the growth of Medicare's payment rates for most services (relative to the growth rates projected under current law);
The question would be whatt is the NET result of increases v. decreases?
Each of those components of the legislation has the potential to affect the premiums that are charged for insurance, directly or indirectly; some would increase premiums, and others would decrease them.
This Adobe file is 29 pages. I only have quoted from the first 3 since I have to work today ... There is a table on page 29 that shows the %-ages of income that will be expended by various income ranges (for a single person & family of 4).
It would be interesting to see what %-age of income members of this forum now pay for health insurance v. the tables shown; and whether you would come out ahead or behind.
Addressing the question of why a lot of people may be Johnnie-come-lately to observing how Congress has exploited "hanky-panky" in the past: I think this very high-profile legislation has made the ugliness of the legislative process more visible. Awareness has been raised. Personal involvement has been increased. The fact that some of us were too uninvolved earlier is not, in and of itself, an indictment of integrity. Anyone who would choose to move from a state of ignorance to a state of more knowledge is good for a republic, not a bad thing.
And I do agree that I have seen no one on this forum who has defended every item of Bush's administration. It IS possible to discuss issues based on the process used (regardless of by whom), and whether the process as related to the issues was beneficial or not to the outcome. If the process was used to advance negative-impact, then we should take heed to assess the issue.
I don't think anybody, here or in Congress, believes that the US healthcare system is perfect. The disagreement lies in how to make it better. It will never be perfect. We can clearly see that universal health care in those countries that have it is not perfect either.

The following information is for applicants who seek a change of status to attend Mesa Community College. These applicants are not in valid F-1 status. Visit the Change My Non-Immigrant Status section on the USCIS website for complete information.
F-1 student status is appropriate if you intend to pursue full-time studies in the United States. If you are currently in the United States as a temporary worker, diplomat, exchange visitor or any other non-immigrant classification except Visitor in WT or WB status and need to change to F-1 student status, follow the procedures indicated below. At MCC, we will not submit the application for you. You may want to consider working with a lawyer for this process.

Once you have applied, the International Education Office will prepare a Form I-20 for you within 3 weeks.
In general, non-immigrants who are maintaining lawful status may apply for change of status to F-1.
Non-immigrants subject to the Section 212 (e) two-year home residency requirement are ineligible to apply. Those in WT or WB are also ineligible. Those in F-2, B-1 or B-2 status are eligible to apply for a change of status but cannot enroll in classes until the change of status has been approved by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
You may change your status by departing the United States and re-entering in F-1 status. In order to re-enter the United States in F-1 status, you must have a valid, unexpired F-1 entry visa.
If you do not have an F-1 entry visa or need a new one, you must apply for one at a U.S. consulate in your home country. Once you have obtained an F-1 entry visa, you would then enter the United States with your visa and the following:
You may also attempt to change your status by submitting a change of status application to the USCIS. Though, if you are changing from a visitor status, this is not recommended. Your application for change of status must be received by USCIS during the period of 30 days before the program start date on your I-20 to no later than 30 days after the start date. This option requires that you assemble the following materials:
Once completed, mail your application to the USCIS. Please note that you are responsible, or your lawyer is responsible, for this process, NOT the International Education staff.

Fights To Watch In December: Part 1
- Written by Rian Scalia
December is another huge month with a ton of great fights taking place to end the year with. We've got GLORY, K-1, RISE, Krush, Enfusion and heaps of other events with marquee fights going down. As usual, the main focus will be put on fights that I consider to be under the radar, not the fights that everyone already knows about. Here's ten for you to keep an eye on.
December 1: Simon Marcus vs. Sadibou Sy - Muay Thai in America - Playa Vista, USA
Muay Thai in America takes place tonight, and this fight is the main event, and for good reason. Simon Marcus has established himself as the top fighter at his weight in North America while being one of the best in the world at his weight also. Sadibou Sy comes in not being very well known but don't let that fool you, he's a very capable fighter and I think his style will make for a very calculated fight. Sy usually fights higher in weight than Simon and likes to fight from range while Marcus can fight from anywhere but often takes fights with his clinchwork.
December 2: Masahiro Yamamoto vs. Mansour Yaqubi - RISE/M-1 - Tokyo, Japan
Yamamoto is LiverKick's #3 ranked lightweight and looks to continue being amongst the top lightweights. This is a huge opportunity for Yaqubi, who is a teammate of Raz Sarkisjan and sees himself in his first big fight. I definitely favor Yamamoto here but like Sarkisjan with Noiri back in May, there are a lot of variables that could play out and we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Yaqubi is similar to Sarkisjan in that he's a power puncher and that's what his game is based around. Yamamoto handled Javier Hernandez's similar style quite well, so I wouldn't be surprised if he put on another great performance.
December 2: Raz Sarkisjan vs. Koji Yoshimoto - RISE/M-1 - Tokyo, Japan
Raz Sarkisjan comes off a November 10 loss to Marcus Vinicius at It's Showtime Brazil but he's right back at it tomorrow, taking on RISE's 65kg champion. Raz made his name by going into Japan and upsetting one of its top fighters in Masaaki Noiri. Yoshimoto will be yet another tough test for the 20 year old Dutch-Armenian fighter, who will only get better as time goes on. This year there's been a lot of fights like this one between top fighters from opposite realms of the world and they're great in helping us evaluate the landscape of the fight scene on an overall level.
December 2: Koya Urabe vs. Mickael Peynaud - Krush.25 - Tokyo, Japan
Originally scheduled to fight Karim Bennoui, Koya Urabe now faces Mickael Peynaud. Even though he lost to Javier Hernandez last month, Peynaud is still a very formidable opponent and can hang with most lightweights. Once again, it's great to see some international fights to get a sense of the lightweight division's landscape. Urabe is right outside the top ten and has been in better form lately. With the fight being at 61kg, a weight that I've always thought Urabe would be better off at, we'll see if it benefits him. I expect this fight to be pretty competitive, much like Hernandez vs. Peynaud was.
December 7: Diesellek Aoodonmuang vs. Petboonchu F.A. Group - Lumpini Birthday - Bangkok, Thailand
This fight is for the 135lbs title of Thailand. Diesellek has had a breakout year, most recently dominating Damien Alamos en route to a decision win, and also thanks in part to his infamous haircut. Petboonchu is really tough to fight and has given trouble to pretty much everyone, coming off a win over Nong-O in October.
December 7: Superlek Wor Sungprapai vs. Saengmanee Sor Tienpo - Lumpini Birthday - Bangkok, Thailand
The Lumpini 115lb belt is on the line here with Saengmanee at just 15 years old looking to add to his collection of accolades, already being a champion at 105, 108 and 112. Saengmanee is a candidate for Fighter of the Year and a win here would add even more to those claims. Superlek has had a very good year himself, last beating Mondam Sor Weraphon in November and is also in the running for Fighter of the Year. We saw the weight ultimately be too much for Pentai Singpatong when he went up and lost to Wanchalong Sitzornong and while I don't think that will be the case here, Saengmanee moving up yet another weight class makes this even more interesting.
December 8: Sergio Wielzen vs. Sasa Jovanovic - Vendetta VI - Vienna, Austria
2012 hasn't been good for Sergio Wielzen, who has three losses on the year but I still believe he has the ability to mix it up with some of the top lightweights. Once again he takes a fight at a prety high weight for him, 63.5kg, against Sasa Jovanovic. I do like Wielzen to win here but I also thought the same for his fight last month against Emerson Falcao. Jovanovic is one of the main "tests" for guys looking to get to the next level in kickboxing and Wielzen will surely need a win here to ensure that he doesn't go winless in 2012, and to get some momentum going for 2013.
December 8: Steve Moxon vs. Mostafa Abdollahi - King of Kombat 8 - Keysborough, Australia
Steve Moxon is one again back in action and faces Mostafa Abdollahi after Dzhabar Askerov withdrew. Moxon and Abdollahi have the styles that could make for a very exciting fight. The fight is also five rounds which will provide for even more action. Moxon makes his debut in GLORY in March and for now he's doing his own "Road to GLORY" by staying active. Whenever Moxon fights it's worth noting.
December 9: Liam Harrison vs. Saenchai PKSaenchaimuaythaigym - Muay Thai Warriors - Macau
This will be the third fight between Saenchai and Harrison and I think this one is Liam's best chance to win. Saenchai is coming off two five rounders against top opponents in November and the time seems perfect for Liam to strike. Harrison has shown devastating low kicks in his wins over Angelo Campoli and Andrei Kulebin this year and will have the size advantage going in. Of course, Saenchai has beaten Harrison twice and beats bigger opponents on the regular, but Harrison is still a very formidable opponent.
December 15: Alexander Stetsurenko vs. Karapet Karapetyan - Battle at Moscow 9 - Moscow, Russia
Alexander Stetsurenko is one of the top light heavyweights in kickboxing, further establishing that by avenging a loss to Hicham El Gaoui at the Tatneft Cup Finals in October. This is a fight he should win, but Karapetyan has shown some improvements since his losses to Nieky Holzken and Joe Schilling earlier this year and should be able to hang. Stetsurenko's fights are always good with the endless pressure and thudding punches that he brings and if Karapetyan can match him, it should make for a great fight.

By NEMS Daily Journal
This is the season of Epiphany in the Christian calendar, the time after Christmas when liturgical churches worldwide celebrate the revelation to the Gentiles of Jesus as the messiah, the divine light of the world.
The magi – or wise men – represent that revelation in their following of the star to bring gifts and pay homage to the Christ child. Over the years, they have become associated in the popular mind with Christmas, but it's pretty clear that it was a while after the birth of Jesus that they made their journey.
The image of light, as manifested by the star, is prominent in Epiphany prayers, hymns and scriptural readings in churches that observe the season. Jesus, the symbolism suggests, pierces the darkness of the world with a light that not only reveals his nature, but also illumines our own as well.
In a more secular vein, personal epiphanies – those moments of sudden revelation or understanding – are often associated with the popular image of a light bulb going off over the head of the one having the epiphany. He or she has "seen the light," so to speak.
Seeing the light is a commonly used expression that means having the truth revealed to oneself and understanding that it is, indeed, the truth. And Epiphany is about recognition of the ultimate truth.
Many in this day and age have a problem recognizing the reality of an ultimate truth – of any kind. Relativism is rampant in this secular era.
Jesus said that we will know the truth, and it will set us free. Maybe one of the reasons some people have trouble with the concept of an ultimate truth is the way others, including some Christians at times, act is if the truth has been revealed to them alone, and that they are the sole possessors and interpreters of that truth.
Truth of that sort seems more exclusive and restrictive than inclusive and liberating.
Too many times through the 2,000-year history of the church, differences over relatively minor points of doctrine have driven a wedge between believers, leading to discord, division and even violence. Too often believers have used their understanding of the truth not as an impetus to reach out in love and understanding to others but to horde that truth, or worse yet, to use it as a verbal or psychological sledgehammer to enforce their own sense of personal and spiritual superiority.
The ultimate truth that frees individuals is not about one-upmanship or who has exclusive claim to it or who's right and who's wrong in the petty disputes that engage the energies of sinful people – which includes all of us. It's about the revelation of God to human beings in the form of Jesus, and the absolutely incomparable knowledge that God came here in love as one of us to show us how we were made to live – in love and communion with him and each other.
This revelation, this light, sets us free from all the vain desires and ambitions to lord it over others and allows us to become our true selves.

When you use hair dye or other hair products, a small amount can penetrate your skin. Generally, however, the chemicals aren't thought to pose harm to a developing baby.
While a 2005 study suggested an association between the use of hair dye during pregnancy and the development of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma, other studies haven't reached the same conclusion. Most researchers say it's unlikely that maternal use of hair products before or during pregnancy would increase the risk of childhood tumors.
If you choose to dye your hair during pregnancy, consider these general safety precautions from the Food and Drug Administration:
If you're concerned about the use of hair dye during pregnancy, consult your health care provider or consider postponing any chemical hair treatments.

Everything you need to know about today's media coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
New vindication for Israel on the Mohammed al-Dura affair. Israel and Singapore collaborate to foil an assassination attempt. Care to guess how much taxpayer money the BBC spent covering up the Balen report?
Join the Media Cheat Sheet Page on Facebook.
Israel and the Palestinians
• A French court gave some new and welcome vindication to Israel over the Mohammed al-Dura affair by overturning Dr. David Yehuda's libel conviction. Haaretz explains:
In a 2008 interview with a French Jewish weekly an Israeli orthopedic surgeon, Dr. David Yehuda disputed the elder Dura's claim. Yehuda said the scars were not related to the incident in which Mohammed al-Dura, who was 12 years old, died.
Rather, Yehuda said, they were the result of an assault on Dura by Hamas militants who accused him of collaborating with Israel, as well as subsequent surgery performed by Yehuda himself in 1994.
Dr. David explained it all in this 2008 video (English subtitles).
Iranian Atomic Urgency
• The Israeli media's buzzing that the Mossad and authorities in Singapore foiled an Iran-Hezbollah plot to assassinate Ehud Barak. YNet says three suspects have been arrested.
• CNN: Thai police are convinced that a bomber who accidentally blew himself was targeting Israelis in Bangkok:
"I can tell you that the target of the operation of this group is specifically aimed at Israeli diplomats," Police Gen. Priewpan Damapong said late Wednesday in an interview with CNN affiliate Channel 3.
His comments came after a senior Thai security official had drawn a tentative link between the Bangkok blasts and the attacks aimed at Israeli officials in India and Georgia, saying the materials used in the explosive devices were similar.
But if its apologetics you want, see The Guardian's Comment is Free section.
• Fareed Zakaria ain't buying into Ehud Barak's talk of Iran's approaching zone of immunity.
• Iran and Al-Qaida's ties have moved into an "operational relationship." More at Sky News.
• A staff-ed in The Independent isn't happy with Ahmadinejad's showy announcement of made-in-Iran nuclear fuel rods. It plays into the hands of "shrill" Israeli warnings:
The way Tehran now appears to be upping the ante suggests either that the Iranian leadership is gripped by something close to panic, or that it is lashing out in the belief that it has nothing left to lose. Either prospect can only give succour to those who argue that force is the only language Tehran understands.
Spring Winter
• The UN General Assembly is due to vote on a condemnation of Syria this week. It's just symbolic statement, but AP reports that Russia's trying to water it down.
• "Bashar Assad can massacre 100 to 200 people a day," but Only Israel Gets Goldstoned.
• David Schenker (LA Times op-ed) explains Egypt's anti-American populism.
No doubt, SCAF, the government and the Islamists have little need for pro-democracy NGOs, but the investigation of the NGOs is a symptom rather than the root of the bilateral crisis. Notwithstanding the parliamentary elections, Egypt today is dominated by a coalition of military authoritarians and aspiring theocrats that views Washington with great suspicion.
Facing extreme challenges at home and in need of distractions, anti-Americanism has become Cairo's preferred populist recourse. Although a solution might be found for this particular controversy — with or without U.S. foreign assistance — this bilateral dynamic assures that the next crisis is not far off.
Rest O' the Roundup
• The UK Supreme Court ruled that the BBC does not have to release the Balen report assessing its Mideast coverage. While BBC's the clear winner, the biggest losers are British taxpayers. According to the Daily Mail, the Beeb spent an overall £350,000 in legal fees to keep the Balen report covered up.
• Politico interviews the NY Times's new Jerusalem bureau chief, Jodi Rudoren. See also Shmuel Rosner's thoughts.
• A WSJ op-ed (click via Google News) warns Mideast governments to rein in hackers. As they say, it's all fun and games till somebody gets hurt:
If the hackers turn their attention to disruption and destruction, as some have threatened, they are likely to find the controls for electric power grids, oil pipelines and precious water systems inadequately secured. If a hacker causes real physical damage to critical systems in that region, it could quickly involve governments retaliating against each other with both cyber and conventional weapons. Middle Eastern governments need to get their citizen hackers under control and better protect their own critical networks, or they will eventually be dragged into unwanted conflict.
• Activists Down Under deconstruct "The Promise" and take SBS to task for airing. Tzvi Fleischer and Jamie Hyams got an op-ed soapbox at The Australian, but because of the paywall, you'll have to read their critique at AIJAC.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone here could help me find a website?
A while back I found a site that had graphics you could print out and use to customize rebel helmets and imperial figures. They also had scans of the decals for the vintage R2-D2 and R5-D4 that you could print out and apply to your astromechs with damaged decals. They even had scans of the decals for the vintage X-Wing, TIE fighter, etc etc.
I'd love to find this site again, but can't for the life of me remember what the URL was If anyone knows about this site, could you ~please~ post the URL?

Has anybody switched from a Mac to a PC? I absolutely love my Mac, but I need to get a new laptop in a few months and for money reasons, it needs to be a PC. I'm nervous about it because the only computers I've used all my life are Macs. DH (a computer engineer) picked out a Vaio he said would be perfect for me, so I'm trying to get excited about it. The only programs I'll have to buy are Office and Photoshop, and I can get those at the student discount if I do it this year, so that's not a big worry.
Can anybody tell me how their switch went and help me get excited about it?

I've never used a Mac, but I love my PC.
I did use Word on a friend's Mac once, and didn't like it as much as Word for Windows.

I suppose it's a matter of what you are comfortable with. I have had Macs forever, and now have a PC laptop...I use it for e-mail, a sort of back up portable system. I have PSE 8 on it and scrap on it only when I'm desperate. Once you've have a Mac, you'll never understand or like PCs.
Posted 27 August 2010 - 12:01 PM
I've never had a Mac, so I can't speak to the change. I have always had PC's and never saw any reason that I wanted to change.
Posted 27 August 2010 - 03:59 PM
aaaah the mac/PC debate!! In our house we have both, the mac being mine and the PC begin DH. I use both and don't mine either but do love my Mac. As Ann has said, it is just what you feel comfortable with. My son comes home and gives the mac a hard time but I find that he is on the mac way more than the PC!!! I just keep forgetting the difference with the alt key and the option key. I think that you will manage absolutely fine Megann.
