Imagine toting luggage up a hotel elevator and down a corridor to the room, only to find that the key doesn't work.

Product Description
The continued buzz -and a fanbase that grows exponentially as the band tours- is setting the stage for sheer Doll-Mania when their sophomore album Yes, Virginia is unleashed on the public. While the instrumentation lives up to that of their debut, the band took more of a rock approach to the recording process this time around. On this album, The Dresden Dolls came out with something very modern yet totally unique, taking the world stage and tearing down the curtain particularly in their stunning lead single, 'Sing'. They rip holes in the veneer of rock music and create their own rules, rhyme and reason. Yes, Virginia is a one-hour outburst that captures this notion; never pretty, never laminated...The Dresden Dolls provide a real-life soundtrack fit for bewildered children of all ages. Roadrunner. 2006.

"No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter
Of this little feat of engineering"
First single "Sing" is the last track on the album, and although not the best song on the album lyrically it's certainly ear catching. Other good tracks are "Backstabber"; "Modern Moonlight"; my personal pick "My Alcoholic Friends"; "Necessary Evil" and "Mandy Goes to Med School" where Amanda Palmer sings:
"I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger
Pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
Giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be"
Give this to someone with weird musical tastes and they WILL believe that there is a Santa Claus after all.
Amanda Richards
This wild, Tim-Burtonesque band created a stir with their debut album a few years back, and now the cabaret-rockers are back with "Yes Virginia." It's catchy. It's kitschy. It's dark and cutting, even as the Dresden Dolls refine their signature sound into ever more potent music.
It opens with a rippling piano line, but it slowly grows darker and more twisted... until the drums kick in. Amanda Palmer begins gleefully singing the ode of an apprehensive sex-change patient: "Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. Sender/We're pleased to inform you that your applications been accepted/Starting from the time you get this letter/Your life will be one never-ending 'hope you're feeling better'...."
From there on, the band launches from piano-punk to raucous pop, even trying out the sunny sound, which is belied by the underlying dark lyrics. Fortunately after that they return to the more bombastic, twisted sound that they do best. The best of all would have to be "Dirty Business," with its barbed lyrics ("She's the kind of girl who only asks you over when its raining/Just to make you lie there catching water dripping from the ceiling.")
But the Dolls also explore different kinds of music in this album. Right in the middle they try out some quieter songs, such the sprawling, lazy sound of "My Alcoholic Friends". Not to mention the the lonely prettiness of masturbation ballad "First Orgasm" (not recommended for small children, if the title didn't tip you off).
With face paint and drums'n'piano music, the Dresden Dolls really do come across as a gimmick band. At first.Read more ›
The Dresden Dolls are not for everyone. As hinted, the songs' subject-matters are often very unusual, confessional and down-right creepy. If you like dark and strange stuff, have an adventurous musical ear, then get this album, along with the band's other wonderful work, and Miss Palmer's solo efforts. You won't regret it!
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
With a cult classic under their belt, the Boston duo, made up of Amanda Palmer (piano, organ, mellotron) and Brian Viglione (drums, guitar, bass) are in a bit of a bind. What do they do for a follow-up? How can they make another captivating collection of songs, in a similar vein of avant-garde cabaret, without rehashing the debut? Luckily for The Dresden Dolls, with "Yes Virginia," (2006) the band make a sophomore album that takes up where the debut left off, yet also has its own signature and doesn't merely try to capture the style and spirit of its predecessor.
Compared to the self-titled debut, "Yes, Virginia" sounds more vigorous, and the album overall has more of a "rock" feel, yet without losing its theatrical, cabaret backbone. The duo sound sure of themselves and in their element. Palmer is kind of hard to figure out. Sometimes she seems to mock the subjects in her songs (dirty business), sometimes seems to hate them, (backstabber) or shows sympathy (Delilah). Other times it's hard to know if Palmer is being sarcastic, ironic, or sincere. Sometimes it's hard to know when she's wearing the theatrical mask or if she's being herself. While the album is theatrical in nature, at times Palmer seems to break out of her theatrical persona, such as with the candid and sincere "Delilah" and the beautiful, lush "sing" in which Palmer states "life is no cabaret." This makes "Yes, Virginia," a more three-dimensional album compared to the debut.
It took the Dresden Dolls three years to come up with a sophomore album and by listening to these songs you can clearly see why. The band didn't just use scraps or b-sides, but rather meticulously crafted their new body of work. It's obvious to the listener that each song on "Yes, Virginia" is a labor of love.
The debut was a wonderful album for fans of the piano and introduced me to the world of punk caberet music, however the casual listener would probably write the band off as too expiremental and not grabbing enough for radio play.
With Yes, Virginia, The Dresden Dolls have retained their unique sound but have made the music bigger, catchier, and more appealing to a wide audience.
The album highlights have to be Backstabber and Dirty Business. Both would likely do well on alternative radio with their catchy piano riffs and lyrics that will really open your eyes. Especially on Dirty Business with the line "she's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser, just to make you jealous of the men she f***ed before you met her" brutal!
Shores Of California is another standout, talking about relationships with lyrics that beg to be sung along to, can't wait to hear that track live!
They aren't afraid to speak their mind either as evidenced on First Orgasm or the controversial Mrs. O, 2 tracks that i'm sure will keep the album banned from stores like walmart, but that's probably a good thing.
For a band that doesn't consist of anything more than a Piano and drums, the tracks are huge, your brain won't even realize that there is only 2 instruments being playing here. You could even dance or mosh to half the tracks on this album, something that would seem impossible for a piano fronted band.
I will come out and name Yes, Virginia as one of the most innovative albums of the last 15 years. This album has to put The Dresden Dolls in the spotlight and give them their due. Check it out and be amazed.

"No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter
Of this little feat of engineering"
First single "Sing" is the last track on the album, and although not the best song on the album lyrically it's certainly ear catching. Other good tracks are "Backstabber"; "Modern Moonlight"; my personal pick "My Alcoholic Friends"; "Necessary Evil" and "Mandy Goes to Med School" where Amanda Palmer sings:
"I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger
Pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
Giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be"
Give this to someone with weird musical tastes and they WILL believe that there is a Santa Claus after all.
Amanda Richards, May 19, 2006
I've never heard a CD where you actually sit and listen solely to the lyrics at times. Truth be told, the lyrics are so crazy you could quote them for days on end without repeating any. From sex changes, to backstabbers, to orgasms, to Nazi sympathizers, this CD leaves no bases untouched.
As for the rest of the songs, there's not a single song that I don't listen to. The different ways Amanda uses her voice captivates me, and the piano and percussion makes for one hell of a song. I've never been a huge fan of mixing female and male vocals so when I heard that happened in this CD I was close to passing it over. Having heard this CD more than a few times I can honestly say that one of the only songs that you can hear Brian sing in is Backstabber, and that actually adds another dynamic to a song that was already great.
My favorite songs are Sex Changes, Backstabber, Delilah, First Orgasm, and Shores Of California. Anyone who's looking for a new band with a more than fresh sound shouldn't pass up this CD. For my money, it's the best CD I've bought in over 2 months, if that really matters. And since when does Roadrunner sign a band like this? Quite puzzling.

How is the blood test for AMA done?
The most economical test for AMA applies diluted samples of a patient's serum onto tissue sections from rat stomach or kidney in the laboratory. (Remember that mitochondria are present in all cells, not just the cells of the liver and bile ducts.) Serum antibodies that attach (bind) to mitochondrial membranes within the tissue cells can then be observed with a microscope. The most dilute sample of serum showing this binding reaction is reported, using the term titer. The titer indicates the most dilute serum sample that reacts with the tissue mitochondria. A higher titer means there is a greater amount of AMA in the serum.
The antigen recognized by AMA in patients with PBC is now known to be PDC-E2 and is also often referred to as the M2 antigen. So, newly developed tests for antibodies that bind to PDC-E2 are more specific and are now available to confirm the diagnosis of PBC.
What is the value of the AMA blood test?
AMA are detectable in the serum in 95 to 98% of patients with PBC. So, AMA are tremendously important as a diagnostic marker in patients with PBC. The AMA titers in PBC are almost universally greater than or equal to 1 to 40. This means that a serum sample diluted with 40 times its original volume still contains enough antimitochondrial antibodies to be detected in the binding reaction. A positive AMA with a titer of at least 1:40 in an adult with an elevated alkaline phosphatase in the blood is highly specific for a diagnosis of PBC.

Some scattered thunderstorms are expected during the mid afternoon hours as the air begins to destabilize again after earlier clouds and precipitation. More organized convection over western Wisconsin will move into our area during the late afternoon and probably weaken during the evening as surface heating is reduced. Still could get some decent wind gusts and some hail. Main threat is likely heavy rain with local 1 to 2 inch amounts possible. Drier air will arrive from the north Thursday with the chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms limited to areas south of highway 29. Highs will be at or below normal with lower relative humidity than the last few days. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 306 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Any lingering showers should shift out of our southern counties Thursday evening, as Canadian high pressure and associated drier air edges into the forecast area. Although a few models generate spotty and weak afternoon convection at times, the general concensus is for a dry period from Friday through Monday, along with a gradual warming trend. As the Canadian high shifts east Monday night into Tuesday, southerly return will lift a warm front toward the forecast area, resulting in a chance of thunderstorms. The chance of storms will linger through the middle of the week. Very warm and muggy conditions appear poised to return during this period, along with potential for locally heavy rainfall, as precipitable water values increase to around 2 inches. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 102 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 A cold front dropping slowly south across WI will produce showers and thunderstorms at times this afternoon and tonight.

"Where there's smoke, there's fire, and where there's fire, there is potential for glass. Where there is glass, there is light. Where glass and light meet, you may find magic." ~Curt Brock
An established glass artist with over 25 museum collections around the world, Curtiss Brock founded CB Glass as a vehicle for developing limited edition blown glass pieces that focus on function and the originality of design. He challenges himself as a craftsman and designer to create beautiful unique pieces. "I want people to surround themselves with beautiful objects and it is my job to try and create one." Brock's ideas come from many different sources but as he puts it, "Ideas, everyone has them but my job is to select a few of my better ones and bring them into a reality. The only way I know how to do this is through a lot of hard work, some calloused hands and a clear idea of what I feel brings quality to a handmade object."

The Marriott Courtyard Midtown was a perfect hotel for our stay in NYC. It is located in a area that has reasonably priced, family friendly restaurants, is in easy walking access to shopping, and we (my husband, 12 year old daughter, and I) felt safe walking in the area around the hotel. It has well kept exercise center and a very fun Internet "hang out area" on the 12th floor that we enjoyed taking a break in. Our room was spacious and had it (as well as the entire hotel) has a fun, fresh decor. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The only drawback was street noise (despite our room being on the 24th floor), but this is probably true with any NYC hotel. Overall, I would recommend and stay there again.

Product Description
PlaSmart Inc. is a global toy distributor that chooses products that are smart, simple, and fun. It seeks out interesting, one-of-a-kind toys that meet its 'smart and simple' philosophy and avoids toys that are difficult to understand or operate.
From the Manufacturer
It's like magic, but you don't need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn't require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel-just the occasional cookie or two. It's quiet too-the only sound you'll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It's been extensively tested, and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards. Fully Assembled: 31 inch x14 inch x 16 inch 8.15 pounds. Please look at the videos on the catalog for installation.

The specifics:
1. The toy is easy to put together. All you need is a hard rubber mallet (a block of wood and a claw hammer works just as well), and a Philips screwdriver. (You will not need to put in any screws but you will need the screwdriver with the included socket tool to help you tighten the nut on the steering shaft). There is a good video on YouTube about how easy it is to put together.
2. The toy is sturdy. Check out some of the plasma car race video's on YouTube to see how sturdy this toy is. (In no way do I suggest this is the way to treat the toy, but the videos are entertaining.) In any case they state the toy can handle up to 200 lbs on a smooth surface. I can personally testify that it will handle a bit more than that with no problem. (Hey Plasma Car! How about a bigger model made for us full size 50 year old adult frame types. I am at a significant disadvantage when sidewalk racing because of the cramped posture I must assume when competing!)
3. The toy is fast enough for any toddler, and on a downhill slope can be a real thrill. Toddlers will find it fun and they figure out how to make it move without any instruction. They can also paddle it around with their feet as well. Believe me, they will make it move plenty fast with just a little practice.

Got this for my 2 & 4 year old for Christmas. As many reviews have said, you need a flat, smooth surface for best performance - our concrete driveway works great for this.
My kids tried it out for a couple of days after Christmas but did not find it that fun since they could not get much momentum out of it -- because of the cheap molded plastic wheels that come with the product. Rough ride, moderate handling, rather slow and underwhelming performance.
So I followed the advice of some reviewers and ordered a four-wheel set of inline skate polyurethane wheels with Abec-7 bearings. Wheel Size: 80mm / 83a (the 83a stands for the level of hardness in the plastic of the wheel). I think I paid around fourteen bucks for the wheels, but it was worth every penny.
The front wheels (the 2 that actually touch the ground, not the 2 that stay in the air) were easy to replace - 5 min tops. The back wheels were much more involved. I had to do some modification to the white plastic part of the axel that comes with the car in order to make the polyurethane wheels fit into the wheel housing. The poly wheels were a little wider than the cheap plasmacar wheels (not in diameter, but in thickness), but I didn't know this when I ordered the poly wheels sight unseen online (I could not find any at the local store). You may be able to avoid my struggle of having to modify the car if you find wheels that are the same thickness/width of the plasmacar wheels.Read more ›

Internship Spotlight: Bailey Ewing at Nance Family DentalPublished by carey.white on Fri, 2015-01-16 23:21
Senior, Bailey Ewing, is ending her high school career in an extremely beneficial way, with an internship.
At Nance Family Dental, she is beginning her career choice of going into the medical field. She helps around office sterilizing the dentists equipment and observing the dentists and hygienists.
Ewing said, "I love being at an internship with employees that are really nice and teach me a lot. This seems like something I would do in the future. I like how I get to see a new patient every day and how every day is new."
While she was working the other day, she was working with a little girl who was getting a procedure done that isn't too pleasant. The little girl soothed herself and sang 'Frozen' songs to herself while she cried.
Bailey is planning on continuing on with this career as she makes her way south to Southern Utah University for college after she graduates from SHS. She even is thinking about carrying on to medical school.
One quote that keeps Bailey going is, "The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday." –Anonymous

Formula 1 teams have been spoiled in recent years by stable rules allowing them to hit the ground running in pre-season testing before packing the cars up for the first race.
Race simulations, set-up changes, tyre work, pitstop practice - you name it and they could get through it. During pre-season testing last year, the 11 teams completed 49,942km during all 12 days of testing, at an average of 4161km per day.
This year, in 10 days they've averaged 2337km per day.

Author has written 5 stories for Labyrinth.
Hello all. "Tal" or "Tally" Smith here.
So I guess if'n ya wanted to learn a bit about me...here ya go!
I'm currently 33 yrs of age. Yes I'm a chick, the name is a long story, but suffice it to say, if I ever publish anything in main stream (writing a book is on my bucket list), I will use this pen name. So if you ever see me on the shelves, pick up a book darn it!
I'm a very mellow laid back, Layman's terms scientist for my day job. I am small, and blonde, and I sound like I'm 12 years old so people tend to underestimate me (which is kinda cool when I can completely shock people. The last car salesman I met got a sound lashing when he messed up the math for my payments with interest and I called him on it!)
I love to help fellow co-workers understand science, but I tend to use the word "dude" a lot. What can I say I'm a child of the 80's! I am a quick thinker. I tend to do nothing slowly. (Ask the guy in the next cubie how fast and hard I type!) I love my fast paced job and being constantly on the move with each project being completely different.
I talk too fast, (sometimes without thinking) and my mind is constantly churning with new story ideas, and things I'd like to accomplish today, tomorrow or someday. (This also keeps me up at night, so I am constantly tired. I swear I run on adrenaline. My hubbie says he's never seen me sleep for more than a few hours at a time!)
UPDATE 5/20/2013: Sorry this next section of "Oh god not again" took so long. With a baby, moving houses, and a very stressful job, my writing time is almost non-existent. I'll try and wrap up this story as soon as I can, but I don't want things to seem rushed. Thanks for the patience all!
Fav Stuff:
Fav Movies: Cheesy 80's scifi movies (Ladyhawk, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Ninja Turtles 1 & 2, Last Starfighter, Never Ending Story, Solarbabies, Enemy Mine, Secret of NIMH, Superman, Unico, Legend, Starman, Tron, Willow, Goonies, Lost Boys, Star Wars and Star Trek, ET, Aliens, The Last Unicorn, etc.)
Fav Books: I read absolutely anything fantasy/scifi/romance (Mercedes Lackey, Tamora Pierce, Diane Duane, Ann Mcaffrey, Robin Mckinley, Simon Green, Terry Goodkind, Piers Anthony, Angela Knight, Alyssa Day, Katie McAlister, Lora Leigh, J.R. Ward, L. J. Smith, Gena Showalter). I actually read too much now that I have a kindle!! (Always on the lookout for another good book, if you have a recommendation PM me!)
Hobbies: Singing, gardening (I raise bonsai trees!), reading, writing of course, karate, foil fencing, hiking, birdwatching, piano (and I'm learning to sew costumes so lookout cosplayers!).
Dislikes: I hate drama, I hate being too busy, I hate pushy people, and I hate being disappointed when I've gotten my hopes up, and i despise spouses who cheat!
Likes: I love my husband (couldn't live without the goofball) and supportive family, I love ice cream (too darn much), I love my loyal and compassionate friends (You know who you are), I love my very large German Shepard dog, sound effects, frolicking and smiling, and of course my book collection (Oh and I love happy endings where the guy gets the girl. No Dark Jareth here!!)...other stuff I just like a whole lot.
Fav Music: Anything but rap. (From Disney movie soundtracks to Heavy Metal to Opera - I like it all.)
Fav Shows: I don't watch too much TV, but when its on I like: Stargate SG-1 only, Star Trek "Next Gen" only, Eureka, and Haven on Syfy, True Blood & Gilmore Girls, and the wilderness survival shows like "Survivorman," "Man Vs. Wild", and "Man, Woman, Wild" ...anything else I watch is due to my hubbie. My friend is now getting me into BBC stuff like Primeval and Torchwood.
"To Serve a King in Need" is my first Labyrinth fanfic ever published so I know its a bit raw with mistakes and spelling errors, but it was a fun learning experience.
"A Bad Day" was a quick little story idea, but folks seemed to like it. I'll probably add a little more one day...but not too much more.
"Magic Tax" started out to be a short story for me. But the muse is on the loose, and I could not stop!
"A Chat with the Goblin King"
"Oh God Not Again" I actually started from a dream. Little did I know I would get pregnant before finishing this story! I swear I will complete it soon, Its still on my radar, and I'll try not to disappoint.
A Couple Quotes I live by:
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind." - Dr Suess
"There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved by a suitable application of high explosives." - Unknown
"We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - Unknown
"Don't expect what you don't inspect." - Unknown
"May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."- Irish Blessing
Well Later Days all.

1996 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
With over 180K, the maxima still runs like new. Getting 450 miles to a tank. No major mechanical problems, just standard wear and tear items. Looking forward to 300K miles before getting another one.
Sports car in a sedan body and awesome Bose stereo.
Free navigation for all maxima's? hehe.
1996 Nissan Maxima Sedan GXE 4dr Sedan
I purchased my 1996 Maxima GXE used with about 18,000 miles on it. I now have approximately 188,500. Very few repairs. Those of you who are buying high octane are wasting your money. I have been using 87 or 88 octane for the 9+ years I have owned it, and it performs just fine. I have tried 91 octane and couldn't detect any difference. Using 88 octane several years ago, it went up to 127 mph on a long empty straight stretch of road in Wyoming, and still had more to give when I backed off the throttle.
Performance and low maintenance. Still looks great at 10 years old.
Rear end doesn't look great, but it doesn't bother me.
A dependable, best v-6 with the least money can buy. I'm very happy with it.
So I bought my max with 146k miles on it and it costed me under $4,000 on the road. Also it's my first car, it's the best and it's fun to drive. I drive around 70 miles each day to and from work and to college. Even though I make 15 mile trips each way with driving hard, MPG is about 22-24 and I drive hard.But You never feel underpowered on highways and you never get bored with it's audio. I think it's the best car for your money. It's reliable, quick, cheap, fun to drive. My dad has 98 camry v6 and compare to my 96 maxima , it's not as breathtaking to drive a camry as my maxima. It's VQ engine is the best- very smooth and quick-you can outrun more than 75% of the vehicles on the road.
awesome engine, great audio MAximas have something uniqe. MAximas may seem ugly but when you test drive it-you will understand why they are called "MAXIMA" They are fun to drive and never makes you disappointed on the road. Best car for your money espesially if u are a student
With 120,000 miles, no problems still, and incredibly smooth ride....I love my Maxima! Whenever someone gets in it, they always compliment how smooth the ride is. It has a lot of power too!
After time, the exhaust system rots sooner than other older cars would.

Closing the gap: Why are more black women dying of breast cancer?
John Raoux, Associated Press
Tiffany Jones was 29 years old when she found a small red bump on her right breast. It looked like an insect bite, but it didn't go away. When she went to see her doctor, she asked for a biopsy. He insisted that it wasn't necessary, but he did it anyway to give her peace of mind. An hour later, he called her while she was at lunch.
"You're not going to believe this," he said.
Tiffany responded, "I have breast cancer, don't I?"
Tiffany Jones is one of a growing number of African-American women —especially young women —who are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African-American women, and they are likely to develop cancer at a younger age. In fact, a new study shows that these women are 40 percent more likely to die of the disease than their white counterparts.
In Houston, a black woman is twice as likely to die from the disease, according to the research published in Cancer Epidemiology that ranked major metro areas. In Los Angeles, the risk goes up to 70 percent.
Since the 1990s, survival rates for white women have shot up, according to the findings, but have only gone up a little for black women. Why have advances in breast cancer treatment skipped black women? Doctors and researchers say that economic disparities that disproportionately affect African-Americans are to blame, as well as lack of health insurance, but genetics, culture and a history of distrust and discrimination all play a role.
The economics of illness
Jones started aggressive treatment right away, resulting in a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. She is now the founder of PinkChoseMe, a foundation for women with breast cancer and survivors, and says a primary reason the women she works with don't get treatment is that they can't afford it. Jones was lucky because family and friends helped pay for her treatment, but many women are not so fortunate.
A mammogram can cost $250 to $400. A single round of chemo costs thousands. "If you work 9 to 5 without vacation and sick benefits, when are you going to go to the doctor? After work, you have to pick up your kids," says Jones.
A survey from the American Cancer Society found that one-quarter of U.S. cancer patients put off getting a test or treatment due to cost. Director of the cancer care research program at Duke University, Dr. Amy Abernathy, did a study of 250 patients, most of whom had breast cancer. All but one had insurance, two-thirds were covered by Medicare, and nearly all had prescription drug coverage.
Still, even with insurance, their out-of-pocket expenses averaged $712 a month including medical bills, drugs and lost wages. Half skimped on food and clothes to pay for cancer medication, 43 percent borrowed money or went into debt. Over 20 percent failed to fill their prescriptions fully or took less than prescribed because of cost.
So is this largely a poverty issue? Yes — but not entirely, says Dr. Jessica Shepherd, assistant professor of OB/GYN at University of Illinois at Chicago, who is a gynecologist and women's health expert and a black woman.
According to americanprogress.org, 26.5 percent of African-American women are poor compared to 11.6 percent of white women and poverty makes it harder for to get access to good care, but that's only part of the story, says Shepherd. Breast cancer studies have been conducted mostly on caucasian women, so the research and advances favor the kinds of cancer that white women have, she says. This is in part because of a cultural mistrust of the medical community. She uses the notorious 40-year "Tuskegee Experiment," in which 399 black men with syphilis were told that they were being "treated" but were actually allowed to suffer and die from the disease so that doctors could study the effects, as an example.

What is the time complexity when the size of input increases the time diminishes?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as not constructive by Gene T, user1317221_G, Sindre Sorhus, Konstantin Dinev, Rory McCrossan Feb 3 '13 at 16:34
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
That depends on how quickly the time diminishes. For example if doubling the input size halves the runtime, the run time will be in
Basically this isn't any different than the usual case where increasing the input size also increases the run time.
Of course this is strictly theoretical as in practice there can be no algorithm whose runtime keeps decreasing as the input size approaches infinity.
Whatever the limit of the time is as the size approaches infinity; it is an upper bound for "large enough" inputs.

The New Delhi Juvenile court has deferred its first verdict on one of five suspects on trial over the fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in India.
At the time of the attack, there was a massive outcry of grief and anger with crowds taking to the streets to demand safety and respect for women.
To discuss the case and why the verdict was deferred, RN Drive was joined by Priya Hingorani, Indian Supreme Court advocate.
