Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Kevin Plank is founder and CEO of Under Armour and a 1996 graduate of the University of Maryland. As a Maryland football player he was not permitted to hold a job but no one said he couldn't start a company. His first idea was a rose delivery business called Cupid's Valentine targeted to his classmates. In the first four years the business generated $17,000 and became seed money for his BIG idea: a T-shirt that wicked sweat and kept athletes cool, dry and light. Click here for more about Kevin.
As special teams captain for the University of Maryland football team in the summer of 1995, Kevin Plank had the idea for a T-shirt that wicked sweat and kept athletes cool, dry, and light. He had become frustrated by having to change out his sweat-soaked cotton T-shirt over and over again during two-a-days, and the idea hit him: "There has to be something better."
Upon graduating from Maryland in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in business administration, Plank began the business making that idea a reality and changing the way athletes dress. He went on a mission to find the perfect fabric–performance synthetics–and the perfect fit–compression–and ultimately launched Under Armour (NYSE: UA) in 1996 as the performance alternative to old athletic apparel.
It all started in the basement of his grandmother's townhouse in Georgetown. Plank's new business headquarters was literally underground, forcing him to hit the road to spread the Under Armour gospel. With his new shirts in the back of his beat-up Ford Explorer, Plank proceeded to phone every equipment manager in the Atlantic Coast Conference and reached out to his former football teammates, giving them samples and asking them to spread the word about his innovative product. After 15 years of imploring athletes to "Protect this House," Plank oversees a company with nearly 5,000 employees. Under Armour athletic performance apparel, footwear, and accessories are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels & from youth to professional — on playing fields around the globe.
Plank has received a wide variety of professional accolades that demonstrate his growing influence within the industry. Now 39, he was most recently ranked #3 on Forbes' "Most Powerful CEOs 40 And Under" and #12 on Fortune Magazine's prestigious "40 Under 40" list, which accounts for influence, power and future potential.
Disease Diagnostic Group (DDG) has produced a rapid, accurate and inexpensive handheld device that can diagnose Malaria within one minute with one drop of blood, similar to a diabetes test. Existing alternatives include blood drops that must be tested in a lab and have slower turnaround and pregnancy-test like strips that are unreliable due to unstable storage conditions. DDG was founded by John Lewandowski from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Earth Starter was formed to solve what the founders believe will be the world's most pressing issue in upcoming years: sustainable healthy food supplies. Our goal is to help people reduce their dependency on global food markets while focusing on creating a more nourishing Earth. The first product, the Nourishmat, is changing the way people think about food. Earth Starter products will allow people everywhere to adapt to environmental and economic constraints as we collectively strive towards a more sustainable world.

En español | When you're online, do you ever get the feeling you're being followed? You might be right.
Want a challenge? Try our free online games
Say you're browsing the virtual shelves of an online clothing store. You move a blue shirt into your shopping cart. Then you decide against it and click over to a news story. You've left the store, yet the blue shirt is trailing you. There it is, on an ad from your local news site. Days later, you open Facebook, and there it is again. The same blue shirt. How did Facebook know?
The phenomenon is called "behavioral retargeting." It's been used by advertisers for at least seven years, and it's now growing increasingly popular, as tracking technologies improve and companies spend more money advertising online.
For advertisers, it's a home run. Turn-of-the-century businessman John Wanamaker famously said, "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half." Retargeting eliminates that waste, or at least tries to, by advertising only to people who they know are interested in their products.
Once a store knows you like the blue shirt, why not offer a gentle reminder of it? On average, you see 1,700 banner ads a month. You probably ignore them all, but you might notice that shirt again. The question is, how did anyone know you liked that shirt, and are you OK with them knowing that?
Here's how retargeting works: Each time you visit a site, it drops something called a "cookie" on to your Web browser. That cookie, which can stay for up to a month, is anonymous. The site doesn't know who you are, or anything about you, but it knows you looked at that shirt. Then the site can purchase ads through a number of retargeting companies acting as middlemen, selling the ads aimed at you, the anonymous shopper, on behalf of news sites, blogs and even Facebook.
The practice has become increasingly widespread because it works. In a survey of 400 clients by San Francisco-based retargeting company Adroll, 74 percent said their retargeting ads performed better than regular banner ads. For that reason, retargeted ads can cost as much as three times more. At least a dozen companies offer the service, including startups you've never heard of, such as Adroll (which is on track to do $100 million in annual revenue, according to the company), Criteo and Fetchback, as well as large companies such as Google. Facebook and Twitter have recently started selling retargeted ads, so that ads inside their social networks can target you based on your activity across the Web.

Tia Executive Director/Vice President, Global Control Operations Division, London
At Goldman Sachs, there is a wealth of opportunities for growth, career and personal development, training, travel and visibility.
My Work
I work in Client Assets, which is part of Global Control. My team is responsible for the protection of our clients' assets. In normal economic times, this function is quite important and it is even more critical in the current environment as we regularly receive requests for information from clients who are focused on the policies and procedures that Goldman Sachs has in place to ensure that their assets are protected. In addition, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has written to Goldman Sachs requesting similar details, which clearly indicates the emphasis which has been placed on the Client Assets processes. Working together with Legal, Compliance and the Client Asset steering group, our team reviews the processes, issues and communications with regulators and auditors on a regular basis.
On a daily basis, my team is responsible for performing calculations to determine the amount of cash and securities that belong to our clients. In accordance with the FSA Client Assets (CASS) Rules, the firm must segregate the client's assets from the firm's assets to ensure that clients are protected.
Throughout my day, I am often involved in various discussions concerning controls and processes that relate to Client Assets. Whenever teams have questions regarding the appropriate treatment of activity for client money, it's my job to help provide guidance and direction including walking them through the details that support our process.
In addition to managing the process, I am responsible for providing guidance and leadership and on-the-job training to the junior members of my team to ensure growth and development of the team. This includes conducting regular team and individual meetings, career development and reviewing current projects. In addition, as part of the Goldman Sachs management team, I provide a point of escalation when needed which is an important aspect of my job.
At Goldman Sachs, there is a wealth of opportunities for growth, career and personal development, training, travel and visibility. Since I've joined the firm, I've purposely sought different types of projects which have allowed me to focus on building my technical skills and knowledge. I have taken courses in Leadership which have assisted me in developing a style which is effective in leading teams within the organization. I'm involved in affinity networks which allow me exposure to very senior members of the firm. Also, being a part of a global team has afforded me travel opportunities. This has provided me with exposure to different cultures which has been both personally and professionally rewarding.
The Client Assets organization is a very team-oriented environment. If you were to visit my team in the afternoon, you would "hear" the interaction and teamwork, as we often shout support to one another to ensure that we are on top of the daily process. It's an intense environment, and is also very interactive and fun!
In addition to our daily role, we also work on various team projects. Given that it's important that members of the team are constantly learning, we always ensure that multiple team members are engaged in the projects. One person may take the lead, but we will also seek input of the others in the team.
My Day
I am currently involved in the development of a new entity which the firm has developed to solve the issue of trapped assets. This is key for client asset protection, and has really been challenging over the last year. The project is being driven by the business, and it involves various operations teams. Given that it is related to Client Asset protection, my role involved a great deal of analysis to ensure that the systems being built were in line with the spirit of the FSA rules regarding Client Asset protection.
People often refer to consensus management, and how that's important for getting the best result. In my project, there are so many groups involved that it sometimes feels that you are constantly revisiting decisions that are already made. Gaining "consensus" can be challenging at times and if not managed can be inefficient since this takes time away from moving forward to the next milestone of the project. With this project, I've learned how important it is to continue to get the opinion of others because everyone will bring a new perspective which may not have been captured previously! And as I've had to substantiate why certain decisions were made, it allows me to develop my communication and influence skills.
The most rewarding part of my job is figuring out a complex issue, and then presenting on it. From time to time, I hear myself speaking and think, 'was that me". One of the primary systems that my team have control over one which is very complex, and being considered the go-to person whenever there are questions is an accomplishment that I am particularly proud of. In addition, passing on the knowledge of this system to my team is also a source of pride.
My Path
I joined the firm through a program called the City Fellowship Program which provides minority American professionals an opportunity to work in London. I read an advertisement, and I thought to myself 'hmmm, I meet that criteria, and I'd love to live abroad, so let me give it a go!' The fellowship was for a one year period, and here I am 4.5 years later! My background is in Accounting, and prior to Goldman Sachs, I worked in one of the big 5 accounting firms. This was my first experience with an investment bank.
During my first few days at the firm, I was very impressed by how articulate my colleagues were. Even the most junior members of the team made contributions. There was a constant stream of information sharing and documented follow-ups from the meeting. It was clear to me that the teams were working together towards a common goal.
Looking back, I'd expected that I would be in the accounting field working for a prestigious accounting firm or a large corporation, but not in Operations at an investment bank. Looking back 10 years, my career aspirations were to achieve partner in one of the big 5 accounting firms. I was not familiar with Operations as a career path before I joined Goldman Sachs and took on my role in 2005. Now, I've found a division which is well suited to my skills and interests, as well as my strengths, so I look forward to continuing to grow by taking on more responsibility within the Operations division.
"Keep an open mind" is the advice I would offer someone who is considering a career in finance. Within the firm, there is a wealth of different career paths and opportunities. Take advantage of them.

Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
General Relativity: "What-ho! My name is General Relativity, and I'm here to demonstrate how Steve is going to use a black hole to make his birthday come sooner!"
Panel 2
General Relativity: "So, let's imagine that my friend Clockwork here represents time..."
Clockwork: "Hi kids! I'm the Continuum of Experience!"
General Relativity: "Now you might think that time passes at the same rate everywhere in the Universe..."
Panel 3
General Relativity: "But once time gets involved with space (represented here by a vat of honey) things get a little more complicated..."

In his State of the Union address, President Obama, reflecting on his first term in office, had proclaimed that we had "cleared away the rubble of crisis."
If we closely examine the state of our economy, the conditions of our military, the nature of our politics and general mood and spirit of the American people, we have not emerged from the rubble. We are a nation that stills find itself in the path of crisis.
More than four years removed from the economic collapse of 2008, we remain a country where the unemployment rate, both real and reported, stands at levels far greater than those standing before 2008 as millions of Americans continue to struggle to find work, while millions more are underemployed or have given up on the pursuit of employment.
We are witnessing the continued struggles to bring our nation's fiscal house in order as a series of budgetary crises, both real and contrived, has tested the will of Congress and the administration to come to terms with an economy that has not in full measure recovered from the depths of the most severe recession since the end of World War II.
The most serious crisis, perhaps, set against the backdrop of continued political wrangling of all stripes in Washington and the continued failure of committing to the task of strengthening this nation, is the crisis most enduring and profound — the crisis of leadership, or most accurately placed, the lack of leadership, seen from the White House to Capitol Hill to including the canyons of Wall Street and beyond to the boardrooms of our nation's largest companies.
We have not seen an end to our nation's various crises, yet there clearly is a need to clear the rubble of the failed "leadership."

Recipe by JEANIE BEAN

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/3 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup
white sugar
1 pinch
1/3 cup
boiling water
3 1/2 cups
3/4 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
half-and-half cream
This is sooo good! I, too, only added 1/2 c sugar. I never use half and half so I decided to use evaporated milk instead. I didn't want to waste the other 8 oz of evap milk so I just poured the 12 oz can into a 4 c measure and then filled with milk and heated it all. I didn't bother with adding some cold milk to the hot chocolate. Yum Yum, just what I wanted on a cool morning, thanks Jeanie Bean!
pretty good, but very, very sweet. next time i'll add less sugar and maybe use unsweetened chocolate pieces instead of the cocoa powder.

OMG - this is the best cocoa!!! I made it as the recipe stated and it was overly sweet for my taste. Then made it per the reviewers suggestions and it was much, much better! Definitely decrease the sugar to 1/2 cup; your blood sugar levels will thank you!!! Increased the vanilla to 1 teaspoon and a note of caution - DO NOT use cheap vanilla as you can taste the difference between good vanilla and the inexpensive type sold in the supermarket. You'll be glad you did... Thanks Jeanie for submitting this great recipe! Definitely a keeper!!!
I am sipping this cocoa as I type this review. It is very very good! Much better than any crud you get in the packets, you know that there aren't any dyes or anything artificial in this which is why I choose to hand-make our cocoa.
I gave it a 5 star rating but it is very, very sweet! And I have a sweet tooth! ***AND*** I only used 1/2 C sugar. I would definitey not use the 3/4 C, it will be too sickening sweet.
To make it less sweet you could either decrease the sugar amount further or add more hot water, I suppose.
Overall great alternative to the store bought "stuff".
This cocoa was indeed creamy and tasty. Although my family found it entirely too sweet. The second time I made it I used a little less than 1/2 cup sugar and it was much better.
This recipe is from the Hershey's box with added sugar and half & half, that's all. Ironically, most cut the sugar to the same measurement as Hershey's. I must agree. I added 1/4 c of malted milk but will go with 1/2 c next time.
Best hot chocolate I have made and I have made several listed on this site. I did reduce the sugar but then turned around and added some Starbuck's mint syrup which is sweet. Heavenly! So rich it tastes like melted candy bars. Very creamy! Mmmm....
Excellent and very easy.

The Spooky Men's Chorale are a group of Australian male singers. Most reside in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, but some are from Western Australia. Their repertoire consists largely of songs either written or arranged by their director (or 'spookmeister') Stephen Taberner, on topics ranging from power tools to covers of ABBA songs. They also perform traditional Georgian music, a major influence on their compositions, harmonies and vocal style. The group performs in a humorous, idiosyncratic manner that is informed by archetypical male behaviours and demeanour.

So I have already made one Dolphins PS3 theme (I know, shamless plug) but after completeting a Patriots theme for my buddy, it made me want to create a new Dolphins version.
So the last theme had Pennington, Porter, Bell, Brown, Williams, Ginn, Sparano, and a wallpaper ofthe cheerleaders.
This new one I already plan on using Brown, Williams and Taylor. But who else to use, I am not so sure.
So out of the 14 players provided in the poll, I am going to use the top three votes for the remainder of player wallpapers for the theme.
Thanks in advance and once it is all done I will post it in the video game section.

Pronounced: Neh-frah-tik sin-drome
Laurie LaRusso, MS, ELS
Nephrotic syndrome happens when the kidneys let protein leak into the urine. When this happens, there is not enough protein in the blood. Low protein in the blood allows fluid to leak out of the blood stream and into body tissues.
Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of the following signs:
Nephrotic syndrome is not a disease itself. It is a set of signs and symptoms that indicate that another disease has damaged the kidneys, and that they are no longer working properly.
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to tiny filters in the kidneys, called glomeruli. The glomeruli filter waste and excess water from the blood. This forms urine, which reaches the bladder via the ureters. Diseases that damage the glomeruli cause nephrotic syndrome.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Diseases that may lead to nephrotic syndrome include:
Tell your doctor if you have any of the following factors that increase your risk of nephrotic syndrome:
Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
High blood pressure
may indicate kidney damage. A urine test will show if you have too much protein or any blood
in your urine. A blood test will show if your blood contains too much cholesterol and not enough protein.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may need to be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
If your doctor suspects nephrotic syndrome, you may be referred to a kidney specialist.
Treatment depends on what is causing the nephrotic syndrome. Some cases are treatable with medicine, while others lead to kidney failure despite treatment. The underlying cause will be treated, if possible. Steps will be taken to:
Most conditions that lead to nephrotic syndrome cannot be prevented. However, the risk of
type 2 diabetes
may be reduced through exercise and weight control.

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Me)
In philosophy, the self is the idea of a unified being which is the source of an idiosyncratic consciousness.
- There is good evidence for a sensorimotor self, an emotional and motivational self probably represented in the right hemisphere, a social self-system, and perhaps an appetitive self. All these self-systems ordinarily work in reasonable coordination with each other, though they can be in conflict at times.
- Bernard J. Baars, "Understanding Subjectivity: Global Workspace Theory and the Resurrection of the Observing Self" Journal of Consciousness Studies, 3, No. 3, 1996, pp. 211-16
- One way to think of 'self' is as a framework that remains largely stable across many different life situations. The evidence for 'self as stable context' comes from many sources, but especially from the effects of deep disruptions of life goals. Contextual frameworks are after all largely unconscious intentions and expectations that have been stable so long that they have faded into the background of our lives. We take them for granted, just as we take our health and limbs for granted. It is only when those assumptive entitlements are lost, even for a moment, that the structure of the self seems to come into question. Losing a loved friend may be experienced as a great gap in oneself. ...It helps to take this common tragedy seriously as a basic statement about the self in human psychology.
- Bernard J. Baars, "Understanding Subjectivity: Global Workspace Theory and the Resurrection of the Observing Self" Journal of Consciousness Studies, 3, No. 3, 1996, pp. 211-16
- Oddly enough, in the sensorimotor area on top of the cortex there are four maps of a little upside-down person, distorted in shape, with every bit of skin and muscle represented in detail. This upside-down map is called the sensorimotor homunculus, the little human. The nervous system abounds in such maps, some of which appear to serve as 'self systems', organizing and integrating vast amounts of local bits of information.
- Bernard J. Baars, ibid., "Understanding Subjectivity: Global Workspace Theory..."
- The Arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
- Francis Bacon. 'On Love', Essays (1597-1625)
- The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
- Francis Herbert Bradley (1846–1924), British philosopher. Aphorisms, No. 8 (1930)
- Cogito, ergo sum.
- I think, therefore I am.
- Descartes Discours de la Méthode, Discourse on the Method (1637)
- Identity is an illusion, a temporary state. Everyone is searching for it, but it's only a brief reflection in a very shallow pool of time.
- Olivia Dresher (b. 1945), American poet and publisher. 'Aphorisms by Olivia Dresher' on, Olivia Dresher.com
- If there is a community of computers living in my head, there had also better be somebody who is in charge; and, by God, it had better be me.
- Jerry Fodor, "The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism" London Review of Books, Vol. 20 No. 2, 22 January 1998, pp.11-13
- Self-correction begins with self-knowledge.
- Baltasar Gracián. In maxim 69, The Art of Worldly Wisdom (1647)
- The self really is an illusion—and realizing this is the basis of spiritual life.
- The best mirror is an old friend.
- George Herbert Jacula Prudentum (1651) (17th Century English proverb)
- It appears to be an inborn and imperative need of all men to regard the self as a unit. However often and however grievously this illusion is shattered, it always mends again. The judge who sits over the murderer and looks into his face, and at one moment recognizes all the emotions and potentialities and possibilities of the murderer in his own soul and hears the murderer's voice as his own, is at the next moment one and indivisible as the judge, and scuttles back into the shell of his cultivated self and does his duty and condemns the murderer to death. And if ever the suspicion of their manifold being dawns upon men of unusual powers and of unusually delicate perceptions, so that, as all genius must, they break through the illusion of the unity of the personality and perceive that the self is made up of a bundle of selves, they have only to say so and at once the majority puts them under lock and key, calls science to aid, establishes schizomania and protects humanity from the necessity of hearing the cry of truth from the lips of these unfortunate persons.
- Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf, B. Creighton, trans., (New York: 1990), pp. 58-59
- If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now — when?
- Hillel, from Leo Rosten's Treasury of Jewish Quotations (1972,) p. 459
- How much easier is self-sacrifice than self-realization!
- Eric Hoffer, "Thoughts of Eric Hoffer, Including: 'Absolute Faith Corrupts Absolutely'"; in The New York Times Magazine (April 25, 1971), p. 60
- In its widest possible sense, however, a man's Self is the sum total of all that he can call his, not only his body and his psychic powers, but his clothes and his house, his wife and children, his ancestors and friends, his reputation and works, his lands and horses, and yacht and bank-account. All these things give him the same emotions. If they wax and prosper, he feels triumphant; if they dwindle and die away, he feels cast down.
- William James, The Principles of Psychology (1890)
- Your identity changes with how you perceive reality.

Admit it. Men in jeans who wear an apron are hot. Japanese denim brand Factotum seems to think so, too, and it's highlighted in their Autumn-Winter 2011 lookbook. Inspired by "Caf? Time," you get more than a hint of the often beguiling allure of the caf? busboy, or the handsome stranger who might be seated alone nearby. Is he a regular, or is he just passing through? Well, at least he makes an impression.

This horny petite little minx couldn\'t wait to see how far she could take my cock in her throat-she was right down on her knees with hard nipples and a wet shaved pussy and said little more than her name before shoving my dick as far into her mouth as she could get it! And I gave that mouth quite a workout. She got even more turned on when I had her blindfolded while face fucking her. She finished by jerking me off and I ended up shooting a huge load right in her face. Classic.

Is it possible to add label colours to several cards at once? Perhaps some kind of select all option?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No, it is not possible to select multiple cards and apply a label to them; you have to add the labels individually.
Using the 1 - 6 keyboard shortcuts can make this easier, because you can add the label without having to open the card or the labels menu.

Lowepro Pro Messenger 180 AW Camera Case
Perform at your best with confidence.
When your gear feels right, your work more smoothly.
This idea inspired the design of our Pro Messenger AW. Its durable, yet soft exterior is reminiscent of classic canvas, but it's actually a modern performance fabric. It's built to fit pro-sized camera gear in configurations you've told us work best. And it has an innovative flap that effortlessly folds in half to quiet your moves and quicken your pace.
The innovative FlexFlap Design™ allows you to shorten halfway, attach four "silencing" fasteners, and grab camera gear without calling attention to your work. When you move from one location to the next, attach as a full flap for extra security. And if you need complete access to your gear, fold the flap behind the grab handle to easily work out of the bag.
Discreet and flexible details begin with the unobtrusive profile and custom performance fabric, a specially milled material that's lighter in weight than canvas and resistant to abrasion and moisture. Interior dividers are padded and adjustable to fit a variety of pro-sized gear in a number of configurations. A Dual-Purpose Pocket transforms from handy storage space to travel-friendly trolley sleeve with a fast unzipping.
Additional street-friendly features include:
- A built-in All Weather AW Cover® to protect gear from moisture and dust
- An expandable, zippered front pocket
- Detachable, grab handle for an extra carrying option
- A thickly padded shoulder strap for long-wearing comfort
- Materials: Nylon, Polyester

A procedure called endometrial ablation destroys the endometrium — the lining of your uterus — with the goal of reducing your menstrual flow. In some women, menstrual flow may stop completely. No incisions are needed for endometrial ablation. Your doctor inserts slender tools through your cervix — the passageway between your vagina and your uterus.
The tools vary, depending on the method used to destroy the endometrium. Some types of endometrial ablation use extreme cold, while other varieties depend on heated fluids, microwave energy or high-energy radiofrequencies.
Some types of endometrial ablation can be done in your doctor's office, while others must be performed in an operating room. Factors such as the size and condition of your uterus will help determine which endometrial ablation method is most appropriate.
Each month during menstruation, you shed the lining (endometrium) of your uterus. Endometrial ablation treats excessive menstrual blood loss, which may be indicated by:
Several options exist to help reduce menstrual bleeding. Doctors may prescribe medications or a progesterone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) as the first line of treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, but endometrial ablation may be an option if medications or an IUD don't help.
Endometrial ablation is not recommended for women who:
Endometrial ablation risks may include:
After endometrial ablation, pregnancy is still possible in some women. However, these pregnancies may be higher risk to both mother and baby. The pregnancy may end in miscarriage because the lining of the uterus has been damaged. Women who want to become pregnant in the future should not have endometrial ablation. Some women choose a sterilization procedure at the time of endometrial ablation to prevent pregnancy.
In the weeks before the procedure, your doctor may:
Many of the newer methods of endometrial ablation can be performed in your doctor's office. But some types of endometrial ablation are performed in a hospital, especially if you will need general anesthesia.
The opening in your cervix needs to be dilated to allow for the passage of the instruments used in endometrial ablation. Dilation of your cervix can happen with medication or the sequential insertion of a series of rods that gradually increase in diameter.
Endometrial ablation procedures vary by the method used to destroy your endometrium. Options include:
After endometrial ablation, you may experience:
You may need to avoid intercourse and tampon use for a period of time after the procedure. Ask your doctor how long you should wait before resuming these activities.
It may take a few months to see the final results, but endometrial ablation usually succeeds in reducing the amount of blood lost during menstruation. Most women will have lighter periods, and some will stop having periods entirely.
Continue to use contraception, though, because endometrial ablation isn't a sterilization procedure. Pregnancy may still be possible, but it will likely be hazardous and end in miscarriage.

It turns out not all Canadians are as progressive as they're made out to be! Air Canada is still stuck in the 1950s when it comes to women keeping their last names after they get married, and is feeling a huge Twitter backlash over it.
Last night Calgary-based writer Chris Turner blasted the airline on Twitter after an Air Canada phone rep told him he couldn't transfer a voucher to his wife because she kept her last name when they got married. Air Canada responded by saying "vouchers can only be transferred to another family member before travel if they have the same family name" to prevent fraudulent activity when using vouchers.
Well, isn't that quaint. Turner's tweet pissed off women and men alike and made the news in Canada. Here are just some of the responses:
@AirCanada Yup, got it. Maybe let your bosses know that those of us who are not married to June Cleaver find this deeply insulting.
— Chris Turner (@theturner) December 30, 2013
@AirCanada @theturner An archaic policy that suggests women must be subordinate to their husbands & take their name? #equality
— Sarah Boon (@SnowHydro) December 30, 2013
Sorry to eavesdrop @AirCanada @theturner, but that's a terrible policy. Name change traditions vary widely: Quebec, same-sex marriage...
— oceans initiative (@oceansresearch) December 30, 2013
@AirCanada @theturner In Iceland, they use patronymic/matronymic names - so everyone has a different last name. No AirCanada joy for Nordics
— Mikael (@copenhagenize) December 30, 2013
One would think that Air Canada would have a better, more sophisticated way to prevent voucher fraud (is that really such a widespread thing anyway?) on their flights than this. This policy makes them look rather foolish.
No word yet on whether or not Air Canada intends to change the policy.

SOUTH HAVEN, Kan. — The family of Joe LaMasters — who was shot in South Haven, Kan., on March 4 — is not satisfied with the Sumner County Attorney's official report that was issued on March 22.
Kerwin Spencer, Sumner County attorney, determined that no charges will be brought against the 52-year-old Sumner County man who pulled the trigger on LaMasters, 42, of Creston on that Monday in early March.
"Those two men made a choice, they chose to leave the safety of their own home and go out and search for a man," said LaMasters' spouse, Tonya Brown on March 29. "I don't know how that warrants self-defense."
Upon hearing of Spencer's decision, LaMasters' relatives started looking at their options.
"He (Spencer) spoke to my brother and said that if we didn't feel the investigation was fair we could call the state attorney," Brown said. "I did speak with her brother, and he asked if there was any one else they could complain to, and the only person with any authority that I knew of would be the attorney general's office," Spencer said.
The family was confused after hearing from the AG's office that nothing could be done on their end without the county attorney's go-ahead – which Brown says Spencer knew before hand.
Spencer said the AG's policy was news to him.
"I didn't see any point in asking them to come in and investigate something that I had fully investigated and made what I thought to be the appropriate decision," Spencer said.
The AG's office has not returned The Wellington Daily News' phone call to confirm their policy. Brown is not happy with the way she was treated on the phone, and that the county has the final say.
"...It doesn't sit well with me," she said.
Brown and the rest of the family are frustrated after hearing and reading several different accounts as to what happened on March 4.
"I simply asked the county attorney, that if you're confident in the job you have done, and the investigation you have done, you should have no problem turning it in to the state," Brown continued. "Myself, and our two daughters, deserve to know what happened to their father."
Spencer responded: "The Attorney General's office said it was my job to figure it out, and that they would only become involved if I think I need help. I don't think I need help."
Clearly, LaMasters' family feels the county attorney does need help. In Spencer's official report, the entire day's events were outlined.
The father and son had encountered LaMasters once before the shooting, and called the authorities, but LaMasters ran off. The father and son then proceeded to check on a cousin's property to make sure everyone was safe, only to find no one was home.
"The father checked the house, found the house was secure, the son checked the shed, and the outbuildings," Spencer said on March 22. "By coincidence the father was coming up to the outbuilding where the son had just emerged from."
The son hollered at his dad, saying the man was in the shed. From there the situation escalated to the father holding LaMasters at gunpoint.
"I can only take him (the father) at his word that he was concerned about what this suspect was going to do," Spencer said (on March 22) that knowing the suspects intent is impossible. "...(The father) either takes the shot immediately or he risks getting into a wrestling match for the firearm and he loses the advantage he has."
Brown retorted: "I'm sure Joe's intentions were to hide, then get on the interstate after it got dark. ...The house was secure, why were they checking outbuildings ...if he's such a threat, and such a badass, why was he hiding from those two men? Nothing makes sense."
Spencer said: "She doesn't know any better than I know what was running through his (LaMasters') mind."
Brown also feels her husband of 26 years wouldn't have made threatening remarks to two people with shotguns.
"... I don't think they (the father and son) made that up," Spencer said. "If that's what he's saying then they have every reason to think that's what his intentions were."
Seeking closure to the events that unfolded is the family's objective, and they still hope the AG will pick up the case.
"If the state comes back and says 'hey, we feel this was self-defense, too.' I'll have to live with that," Brown said. "But I don't think one man in a small county should be making that decision."
Brown also feels the picture that has been painted of LaMasters has been very one-sided.
"The man that I knew was loving and supporting, we were high school sweethearts," Brown said. "We have two amazing and beautiful girls. He was the dad that cooked dinner every night."
She admits the year has been a rough one for them. Brown said LaMasters was arrested in Creston in February 2012 for possession of methamphetamines, with intent to deliver and spent time behind bars. Prior to that, Brown said she had no idea of LaMasters' drug addiction.
"He was still home every night, went to every ball game, went to work everyday," she said. "Joe was the type of man that would take on three extra jobs after putting in a 12-hour day to make sure his daughters had everything they needed and more."
As to why LaMasters was making his way South, Brown can only speculate he was looking for work in a warmer climate. According to the county attorney's report, LaMasters was wanted for probation violation in Iowa.
"I just think it was bias and prejudice from the very first day, all they seen was somebody who had enough charges in the last year, he was a nobody, and they just thought it was going to be washed away," Brown said.
She added she doesn't know where reports of a potential civil case have come from.
"All I've ever said to him (Spencer) is 'I know my legal rights, I know what I can do,'" Brown said. "... I've told him repeatedly, it's not about the money, it's never been about the money. It's about justice for Joe."
Brown feels it's not right for people to take the law into their own hands, and said that's what happened in Sumner County, Kan., on March 4.
"To me they were trying to be heroes that day, and they shot and killed an innocent man. They murdered him," Brown said.
