Last spring, as BP's unchecked gusher of oil began to spread across the Gulf of Mexico, University of Miami oceanographer Jerald Ault tried to answer the question that was on everyone's lips: What will this do to the Gulf?
"The thing is, we don't know what the long-term impacts will be, because something like this has never happened here," he said. "It's like we've been put in this movie that no one has written the ending to yet. And it won't be written for years."
Now, a year after the Deepwater Horizon exploded, thousands of researchers are working on that ending. They are busily gathering data, searching for answers in what experts believe is the most massive and expensive scientific assessment ever undertaken in the history of pollution events.
Fourteen agencies from the federal government and five states, joined by contractors working for BP, are engaged in the Natural Resource Damage Assessment, a process mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 that eventually will result in a huge repair bill to the oil giant. The research work already has cost BP hundreds of millions of dollars, the parties said.
Meanwhile, scores of researchers from universities, nonprofit foundations and environmental groups are initiating their own studies or bird-dogging the NRDA process.
The early returns reflect the concerns Ault had last spring.
The immediate impacts to shorelines and wetlands were far less serious than originally feared, probably because dispersants were used to keep the 200 million gallons of crude that erupted into the system in the Gulf, and away from land. In fact, scientists surveyed by the Associated Press saw little change in the overall health of the Gulf ecosystem since before the spill. They gave it a 71 out of 100 before Deepwater Horizon and 68 this spring.
But they also say the huge volume of toxic hydrocarbons injected into the system leaves a giant cloud over the future. They worry a list of unusual post-spill events -- from dolphin deaths to infections in some fish and crabs -- may be harbingers of bad times ahead.
Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is overseeing the damage assessment, cautioned that "the jury is out about what the end result will be."
Gathering evidence
That jury is composed of the researchers working on those studies, the most massive of which is the NRDA, whose teams are surveying the health of every component of the ecosystem.
Since last April, they have been taking samples of creatures and infrastructure from the bottom of the Gulf and coastal wetlands up through the water column and into the atmosphere above it. Tissue from birds, fish, turtles, marine and land mammals and shellfish -- as well as samples of grasses, soil and sediment, tar balls, water, coral, air and more -- have been collected as researchers assemble the most thorough physical exam of the system ever, scientists said.
By last week, nearly 30,000 samples had been collected from the Gulf as well as from along 4,250 linear miles of shoreline stretching from the Florida panhandle to the Texas-Mexico border, the agency said.
Each team consists of representatives of federal and state agencies, called "trustees" because they represent the public trust. Also invited are the "responsible parties." Of the companies working on the Deepwater Horizon at the time of the accident, only BP has chosen to take part, NOAA officials said.
The collaborative effort is aimed at speeding the process by requiring that all parties agree to observations at the time they are made. However, that doesn't mean the parties will agree later on the significance of those observations in terms of damages the responsible parties must mitigate.
The NRDA process, first and foremost, is a legal, evidence-gathering exercise, NOAA officials stress. That's why the trustees -- the government agencies -- don't release sample analyses until after reparations are agreed on, a policy that has drawn fire from environmental groups in high-profile cases such as the recent dolphin deaths.
"Obviously, our No. 1 concern is protecting the integrity of the case on behalf of the American public." NOAA's Ken Sherman said. "(The responsible parties) are seeing the data we collect, but not how it's being interpreted.
"We don't want to give away our case, but we do release data that has been verified (by independent analysis). We just don't release the interpretations of that data."
The released data are available online at www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov/oil-spill/gulf-spill-data.
Imminent threats
NOAA officials said any data that show an imminent threat to human health or business would be released to appropriate agencies immediately.
Not all restoration work must wait for the NRDA to reach a conclusion. The process allows for emergency and early restoration plans to stop damage or address imminent threats to the system. That feature is important because the damage-assessment process typically drags on for years; the determination of how to mitigate the millions of barrels of oil spilled during Hurricane Katrina still has not been resolved, for instance.
And while all parties involved expressed hope for reaching a speedy initial settlement, none are expecting the studying to end for many years. Alaska's Exxon Valdez spill showed that oil impacts not only linger for decades, but in some cases they might not even surface for years after a settlement, so the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 allowed trustees to reopen settlements.
"The goal of the OPA is to get restoration sooner rather than later, but we know we'll be looking at the impacts for a long, long time because of the sheer size of the area affected," Sherman said.
"We're dealing with so many parts of the ecosystem, so many different critters. We know things like corals, tuna, dolphins, turtles will be impacted one way or another, but we won't see the results for years.
"So the monitoring will continue, and when those impacts become measurable, then we can reopen the settlement, and the responsible parties will be responsible for whatever restoration plan is agreed upon.
"No one can say when this will end."

Of the 12 people killed over the Christmas holiday in crashes handled by Pennsylvania state police, 10 were not wearing seat belts, state police reported today.
Another 410 people were injured in 1,673 crashes investigated by troopers between Christmas Eve and midnight Sunday.
State police Commissioner Frank E. Pawlowski said alcohol was a factor in 105 crashes, including two that resulted in deaths.
The numbers were up strikingly from 2007, when eight people were killed and 236 were hurt in 964 crashes, state police said.
On the enforcement end, troopers wrote 2,160 speeding tickets and cited 165 drivers for not wearing seat belts, Pawlowski said. Another 263 motorists were charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

The Mikhail Tal Memorial in Moscow will run from 18-28 August and features an incredibly strong field, including Vladimir Kramnik in his last serious outing before taking on Vishy Anand for the World Championship.
Every single player participating in the event is rated over 2700, giving an average rating of 2745! The full line up is:
Kramnik won the title last year, but may be reluctant to show his latest opening secrets so close to his showdown with Anand. Ivanchuk is always dangerous, Morozevich blows hot and cold, but really any of the field could win this round-robin tournament which has a total prize fund of 100,000 USD.
After the main event there is also a massive blitz tournament on 29-30 August. Mikhail Tal (pictured above, in characteristic pose) was a formidable blitz player, winning the World Blitz Championship in 1988 at the age of 52 - a full 28 years after beating Mikhail Botvinnik to become the 8th World Chess Champion.
Look out for coverage at Chess.com!
Current ratings (rom the Livetoplist):
Morozevich- 2788
Ivanchuk- 2778
Kramnik- 2773
Mamedyarov- 2741
Shirov- 2739
Kamsky- 2730
Ponomariov- 2718
Alekseev- 2715
Gelfand - 2708
Average- 2743.6 so a bit of a drop from the current ratings.
Wow, quite a field. I'd expect to see Ivanchuk do very well.
I hope Morozevich wins in spectacular fashion and in the spirit of Tal!
My fevorate is Morozevich...dzhafner u r absolutelt right..!!!!
Where has magnus gone? surely it would be more exciting to replace ponomariov with him?
Am I the only comment here? That's strange!

Lifestyle issues — too little activity and too many calories from food and drinks — are the main contributors to childhood obesity. But genetic and hormonal factors may play a role as well. For example, recent research has found that changes in digestive hormones can affect the signals that let you know you're full.
Though not common, there are also genetic diseases and hormonal disorders that can make a child prone to obesity.

Recently, Kent Faulk wrote a story about a poverty simulation in which almost 100 lawyers, judges and law students participated in preparation for the annual National Celebration of Pro Bono. The simulation was intended to offer volunteer attorneys who want to do pro bono (free legal work) a glimpse of the daily burdens faced by their clients who live in poverty. I was saddened by the remarks of online commenters, even though they were in a sense typical of the ignorant and hateful things people will say when allowed to remain anonymous. Commenters attacked lawyers and the poor with equal zeal, suggesting that poor people could cease being poor if only they would lift a finger to do so, that greedy lawyers could not possibly be doing anything without ulterior motives, and that this must be the work of wild-eyed liberals who are only going to help people exploit the system. At the risk of inviting additional stupidity, I would like to respond to some of the mean-spirited and misinformed statements that were made.
Poverty is not a choice, and being poor does not consist of lounging around all day eating government bon bons. The effort that poor people must put into making it through the day rivals what most of us would consider hard work, as those who took part in the simulation learned. In fact, many poor people are hard working, employed people. No one chooses to be born into generational poverty, to grow up in deprivation without enough to eat or a decent education, or to lose everything they once had to illness or a bad economy.
And contrary to the old saw, lawyers are not, as a rule, greedy or selfish. Some are, of course - we are individuals after all. But across the country, lawyers gave away millions of hours of free legal work to help low income people and nonprofit organizations last year. My law firm alone provided almost 15,000 hours of pro bono work, worth nearly $4 million (not to mention expenses) and I know of many other law firms and attorneys across the state and the region who are similarly dedicated. The lawyers I know and work with are, with very few exceptions, generous and thoughtful people who have a genuine desire to improve their communities and help those less fortunate than themselves. Some might say that makes them wild-eyed liberals, but many of the generous lawyers I know are conservatives who would take offense at that notion. Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative - it is their generosity and selflessness in giving away their valuable time and expertise that we celebrate during Pro Bono Week. We certainly won't allow the bitterness of those who are not so generous to dampen our enthusiasm for doing good.

We've heard time and time again that "breast is best" when it comes to the choices we have when feeding our child. After countless studies, hearing it from our pediatrician, and even firm stances from local politicians, there is never any doubt that feeding your child breastmilk is what is best for them. Or is there?
On a recent interview with a local radio station to promote her upcoming movie, actress Fran Drescher spent some of her time speaking out about her non-profit organization that promotes helping others detect cancer early. Drescher, a cancer survivor herself, told the radio station that the major cause of cancer is from environmental factors. More specifically, the actress says one of the major contributors is flame retardant, which is found in curtains, upholstered fabrics, and carpet. She claims that we are absorbing this from our household items which can then cause developmental delays in children and cancer in adults.
But then Drescher takes it a step further and takes the conversation to an entirely different level. Personally, a level I don't think she needed to go. "American women have the highest amount of flame retardant in their breast milk," says Drescher. "We're selling these women that breast milk is the second coming. Breasts are like big sponges."
So basically she is telling me that I am feeding my daughter cancer from my boob. Although Drescher might have a point on the subject, I don't think that she has the correct medical background or research to back up her claim that the milk that I choose to feed my child is bad for her. If that were the case, why haven't I heard from my doctor or medical studies that breast milk is really harming my child rather than helping her?
Drescher encouraged nursing moms to undergo a three day test which included urinating into a cup to test the mother's levels of metals. This would guarantee that mother's weren't passing on the harmful chemicals to their child.
While I think that Drescher's intentions are good, I honestly think that she is messing with the wrong crowd. Many women that breastfeed their children are very passionate about doing it. As a breastfeeding mother myself, I find it to be one of the most fulfilling things in the world. To know that I am providing the best thing for my child is amazing. Never would I have thought that I am actually doing more harm than good by nursing her.
Would love to hear your thoughts on her comments!

President Bush apparently does not understand the spying game.
Let us say, for example, that one of China's spy planes was caught over the United States. We would send interceptor planes, as did the Chinese, and if the pilot refused to land, we would shoot the plane down.
All countries have a no-fly zone and to not honor this is rather stupid. A pilot knows at all times where his plane is. It seems this pilot ignored the fighter planes in his face and kept right on flying.
When I was in the military, we were told to give only our name, rank and serial number if captured. Those who signed up for behind-the-lines duty knew what was expected of them. And if they did fear they would give away information, they had a pill they could take.
Our plane's crew in this instance should have destroyed all the secret data they had and destroyed the plane as well. Since they decided to stay intact and bring the plane down, surrendering to the Chinese, the Chinese were within their rights to take them captive.
Regardless of what President Bush says, we were in the wrong. Let's admit it, apologize to the Chinese and take it from there.
When these individuals enlisted and signed up for this spying duty, they knew the possible consequences. Now they should face it like true Americans. Had we been involved an all-out war with China, they all would be dead. They should thank their captors for sparing their lives and next time be more careful.
Friends in low places
Of all the people in our country who have had such close ties to China, why not ask Bill Clinton and Al Gore to be our ambassadors to their high-up Chinese friends?
Here is their chance to earn the legacy and the respect they so desire. Here is Gore's chance to really be presidential.
Clinton and Gore have been surprisingly quiet about our downed crew and plane. If I were President Bush, I'd ask them to put their money where their mouths have been for so long.
Spring forward
Doggone! I missed a chance to help the suffering humanity of the Daily News area.
On Friday afternoon, March 30, I was mulling over the impending arrival of Daylight Saving Time. Suddenly, it hit me: Move your clocks ahead one hour on Friday evening instead of Saturday evening.
I call this the JH Stratagem. The advantages are:
If you oversleep on Saturday, it's OK. It's your day off anyway.
You save yourself the possible embarrassment of showing up for Sunday school or church one hour early.
You're spared the mortification of showing up for work on Monday morning and finding nobody is there (this really happens).
It gives you two days to reset your circadian biological clock.
My wife and I tried my stratagem this year, and it worked great. Maybe you will write yourself a note and put it on your calendar for next year.
Ladies first
When the pairings came out for the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments in March, I was surprised, and a little disappointed, that the women's schedule was relegated to the back pages of the Sports section.
Perhaps Page 2, back to back with the men's schedule (which appeared on the front page), would have been nice.
The women's final took place April 1, and where do we find the story in the April 2 Sports section? You guessed it - on the back pages.
I will give you credit: You did give a preview, in small print, of your women's story in the top left-hand corner of the Sports front cover. A preview of the men's basketball final (a game which had not been played yet) made the front cover, a commentary about the men's final by Roger Clarkson made the front cover, NASCAR and baseball made the front cover, and women's sports were once again relegated to the back pages.
I guess you are at least consistent, but I would ask that maybe you think about the message you are sending to hundreds of women - and not necessarily women athletes - who buy and/or read your paper.
An accident waiting to happen
The following is offered as food for thought concerning the formation of a rural fire district in Randall County.
The statement has been made, "Let the people who need the service pay for it."
I live in Umbarger and was a volunteer firefighter for more than 25 years.
More than half the calls we responded to were traffic accidents on Highway 60, which runs through our part of the county. How, in the name of common sense, can that be considered "our need"?
There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that the Canyon Fire Department, both city and county units, receive an even greater percentage of calls that are traffic accidents.
Reap and weep
My husband showed me Dave McReynolds' March 21 column, "We asked for it - and we got it." Later I read it to a small group of friends.
There is much truth and common sense in that column, and we all agreed it should have been front-page material.
So many of us who feel deep heartache and horror when we read of violence and tragedy have not stood up and fought for what we believe is right.
We do not seem to know how to promote the old-fashioned ideas of right and wrong. Today, it seems much of society is ready to OK that which not too long ago would have been very unacceptable.
I feel our children still need to know that good actions and responsible lifestyles bring praise and pride, and that punishment will follow hurtful and damaging actions.
Mitch Albom's recent column, "America's standard operating procedure for school violence," could certainly be a Part 2 of Mr. McReynolds' message.
Bad and cruel conduct seems to put both children and adults in the limelight.
It is very good that your paper is devoting space to honor volunteer workers - children and adults doing good and helpful acts of kinds.
We need to honor those who help make this world better and give less publicity to those who bring terror and grief.
I am thankful for God's many blessings and ask for his guidance. Maybe I have not listened to his directions closely, for there have been times when I have sat quietly when I should have been rocking the boat.
We should promote "love your neighbor" instead of the violence and low moral standards so prominent today.
As things stand now, it seems we are reaping what we have sown.

Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
It has been a little more than two years since a series of tornadoes devastated the campground at Lake Guntersville State Park. The campground has since been renovated and is ready to serve the camping community once again. A celebration is taking place to commemorate its re-opening. The public is invited to attend the celebration on Saturday, May 18, 2013, beginning at 11 a.m. A ceremonial tree planting will kick off the celebration.
The campground has long been a favorite with campers who enjoy its location situated along the shoreline of the 69,000-acre Lake Guntersville. Once a shady haven, the April 2011 tornado toppled or severely damaged most of the trees in the area. Park officials hope that the campground's refurbishment will make it a favorite place once again.
"The most devastating damage to the park was in the campground, specifically to the trees," said Alabama State Parks Director Greg Lein. "We have planted more than 450 oaks and maples throughout the campground. While it may seem a little stark right now, those trees will soon fill out and I think our visitors will be pleased with the effort we've made to restore the campground," he said.
Following the tree planting, several free activities will take place. For kids, there will be inflatables, animal exhibits and games. Adult visitors will enjoy looking at antique planes, listening to live music and participating in game tournaments. At nightfall, a movie will be shown.
As part of the re-opening, the nightly rates on all campsites have been lowered beginning May 3. The new rates are as follows: water, electricity and sewer - $19; water and electricity - $17; and primitive - $10. To coincide with the celebration, a "Two for Two" camping special is being offered. Campers who book May 17 and 18 in advance will receive May 19 and 20 for free. Call 256-571-5455 to book a campsite.
Lake Guntersville State Park offers more than 300 improved campsites with seven newly renovated bathhouses, primitive camping area, playground, recreation area, and a fully stocked country store. Each improved site has a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. In addition, all of the lakeside sites now feature 50-amp electrical and sewer hookups. For additional information on the campground or the park, visit www.alapark.com/lakeguntersville.

Surgery to remove womb cancer
This page tells you about the different operations for womb cancer. You can find the following information
Surgery to remove womb cancer
If you have stage 1 womb cancer, you will have an operation to remove your womb (hysterectomy), and usually both your ovaries and fallopian tubes. Some women will have radiotherapy once they have recovered from the operation.
If you have stage 2 womb cancer, your surgeon will also remove the tissues holding your womb in place, the top of your vagina, and all the lymph nodes around your womb. This operation is called a radical hysterectomy or Wertheim's hysterectomy. You are likely to have radiotherapy after surgery. Some women may also have chemotherapy.
If you have stage 3 womb cancer, your doctor may suggest surgery, depending on how far your cancer has spread. You are likely to have a radical hysterectomy. After surgery, you may have radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or both. Your doctor may also discuss hormone therapy.
If you have stage 4 womb cancer, you may not be offered surgery because it will not cure the cancer. But in some cases, your specialist may suggest removing as much of the cancer as possible to slow down the growth of the cancer. You may then have chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy, or a combination of treatments.
If your cancer has come back after treatment, it is sometimes still possible to try to cure womb cancer with surgery. If the cancer is only within your pelvis, you may have surgery to remove the cancer and any organs that contain cancer cells, or are very near to the cancer such as the bladder and rectum. This operation is called pelvic exenteration.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the treating womb cancer section.
Most women with womb cancer will have surgery to remove it. There are different operations for the different stages of womb cancer. The amount of surgery you have will depend on how far the cancer has grown.
Your surgeon may not be able to tell you the exact stage of your cancer until after your operation. So when you go for surgery, you may know that you will have your womb removed, but may not be sure what else will be done. During the operation, the surgeon will examine other body tissues around the womb to see exactly how much they need to take away. Most women will just have their womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed, possibly with some lymph nodes taken from around the womb as well.
During the operation, the surgeon may put fluid into your abdomen and pelvis. They then send the fluid to the laboratory to be tested for cancer cells. Doctors call this peritoneal washings or peritoneal lavage.
In some situations, it can be possible to operate to remove womb cancer that has come back after it was first treated. This major surgery is called pelvic exenteration.
If you have a stage 1 cancer, your surgeon will remove your womb (including the cervix). This is called a hysterectomy. Usually they remove both ovaries and fallopian tubes at the same time. This is called bilateral salpingo oophorectomy – BSO for short.
If you are a younger woman who has not yet reached the menopause, your surgeon may be willing to leave one of your ovaries in place. Removing both your ovaries will bring about an early menopause. Whether you have one or both ovaries removed depends on how likely the cancer is to spread from the womb to your ovaries. If you have a cancer that is thought to be quite fast growing (high grade) your surgeon will probably suggest you have both ovaries removed and take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to stop menopausal symptoms.
During the operation, your surgeon will take samples (biopsies) of areas where the cancer could have spread. This will give the exact stage of your cancer and help your specialist to decide if you need more treatment after your operation. They may take biopsies of the
- Lymph nodes in your pelvis
- Tissue lining your abdomen and pelvis
Your surgeon may talk about lymph node sampling rather than lymph node biopsies because lymph nodes are usually removed whole. Knowing whether the lymph nodes contain cancer cells or not helps your doctor decide which treatment you need.
To try to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back some surgeons used to remove all the lymph nodes around the womb. The ASTEC trial looked at whether routinely removing all the lymph nodes helped women with stage 1 womb cancer live longer. The researchers found that the women who had their lymph nodes removed didn't live any longer than those who didn't have them removed. This means that doctors no longer recommend routinely removing all of the lymph nodes if you have stage 1 womb cancer.
You may hear your surgeon talk about the omentum. This is a sheet of fatty tissue inside the abdomen. It is sometimes removed along with the womb, as it can be a site of cancer spread. But this is not common. Removing the omentum is called an omentectomy.
You have your surgery under general anaesthetic, and you may need to stay in hospital up to a week after the operation. Then you will need to rest at home for a month or so. We have more information about having your womb cancer operation.
After surgery, your specialist may suggest radiotherapy. This is to help stop the cancer coming back. You are more likely to have this if you have a high grade cancer, a type 2 cancer such as serous or clear cell womb cancer, or a stage 1B cancer.
Some women have keyhole surgery for early womb cancer (stage 1 womb cancer). Doctors call this laparoscopic surgery because they use a laparoscope to do it. This is a bit like a telescope. It is connected to a camera that shows the inside of the body on a TV screen. The surgeon usually makes a number of small cuts through your skin. They put the laparoscope and other small instruments through these to carry out the surgery. So you will end up with 3 or 4 small wounds, each a centimetre or so long.
As well as very little scarring afterwards, keyhole surgery has other advantages. There is likely to be less blood loss during the operation and it takes less time to recover. But the surgery takes longer so you spend more time under anaesthetic. It needs to be carried out by surgeons who have had specialist training and so may not be available in every hospital.
In a few specialist hospitals, the surgeon may use a special machine (robot) to help with laparoscopic surgery. This is called assisted robotic surgery or da Vinci surgery. They may be more likely to use this for more difficult operations.
During the surgery, a robotic machine is beside you. It has 4 arms. One holds a camera and the others hold the surgical instruments. The surgeon carries out the operation by using a machine that controls the robotic arms. The surgeon has a 3D view of the operating area that they can magnify many times, so gives them good detail.
If you have stage 2 womb cancer, the cancer has already spread to your cervix. As well as having your womb, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed, your surgeon will remove
- The tissues holding your womb in place
- The top of your vagina
- The lymph nodes around your womb
This operation is called a radical hysterectomy. You may also hear it called Wertheim's hysterectomy after the doctor who first performed it. It is a major operation and you may be in hospital for a couple of weeks and recovering at home afterwards for at least a month.
We have more information about having your womb cancer operation.
After surgery you are likely to have radiotherapy. This is to help stop the cancer from coming back. Some women with high risk womb cancer, such as type 2 endometrial cancer, may also have chemotherapy.
If you have stage 3 womb cancer your specialist may suggest surgery, depending on how far your cancer has spread. It is likely you will need to have a radical hysterectomy to remove as much of the cancer as possible. There is information on this page in the stage 2 section about what a radical hysterectomy involves.
After surgery you may have radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or both. This treatment is to kill off any cancer cells left behind after surgery and to help stop the cancer from coming back. Your doctor may also discuss hormone therapy. This will depend on how far the cancer has spread and the grade of the cancer cells.
If your cancer has already spread to another part of the body by the time it is diagnosed your specialist may not offer you surgery. This is because the surgery will not cure the cancer. But in some cases your specialist may suggest removing as much of the cancer as possible if they think this would help to slow down the growth of the cancer. This is called debulking surgery. Having surgery will depend on
- Your general health
- How fast the cancer is likely to grow
- How far the cancer has spread
There is more about this in the section about surgery to relieve symptoms. After surgery, you may have chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy, or a combination of treatments.
Sometimes it is possible to try to cure womb cancer with surgery, even when it has come back. Usually, this is done when womb cancer grows back in the middle pelvis after it has been treated with radiotherapy or surgery. The pelvis is the lower part of your abdomen. It contains the womb, bladder and back passage (rectum).
If the cancer is all inside your pelvis, you may be able to have surgery to remove all the cancer. Your surgeon will remove any pelvic organs that contain cancer cells, or are very near to the cancer. This can include
- Your womb (unless you have already had it removed)
- Your bladder
- Your rectum
You would not necessarily have all these organs removed. It would depend where the cancer had grown back. If your bladder is removed, you will need to have a bag to collect your urine (urostomy). Similarly, if your rectum is removed, you will have to need a bag to collect your stool (faeces). This is called a colostomy.
Removing the organs mentioned above is called pelvic exenteration. As it is such major surgery, surgeons only suggest it when there is a good chance that it will cure the cancer. So your surgeon will check very carefully beforehand that the cancer has not spread to your lymph nodes or to any other body organ. If it has, this treatment is not suitable for you because it will not cure you. If the cancer is in your lymph nodes, there is too high a risk that there is cancer growing somewhere else in your body, even if it is too small to be seen.
Pelvic exenteration operations are more often done for cancer of the neck of the womb (cervix). So there is detailed information about pelvic exenteration in our cervical cancer section.

Video: Roger Mayweather favors decision for nephew Floyd Mayweather over Miguel Cotto

Floyd Mayweather's uncle and trainer didn't promise a knockout of Cotto at MGM Grand. In fact, he said a decision victory was the most likely outcome, although he added that a late stoppage, perhaps via cuts, was not out of the question.
Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto have five common opponents. Roger Mayweather said he only studied video of one of those opponents against Cotto, Shane Mosley.
"It wasn't no threatening performance," Roger Mayweather said.
Floyd Mayweather knocked out only one of his four common opponents with Cotto, Justin Juuko. Cotto knocked out four of the common opponents, Juuko, Victoriano Sosa, DeMarcus Corley and Zab Judah. Mosley went the distance with both.
Roger Mayweather said it's nothing his nephew couldn't handle.
"In boxing, there's always danger with certain things that a fighter do," he said. "But like I said before, my nephew knows what he's up against, and he's prepared for whatever he's up against. So when the time comes, he's going to be able to deal with whatever happens. He knows what he has to do."
Assistant trainer Nate Jones predicted that Floyd Mayweather would stop Cotto within six rounds.
"If he lands a couple good shots, he can hurt anybody," Jones said. "I think he's too slow to hurt Floyd. I think he's too methodical. But if he hits Floyd with a good shot, cleanly, he can hurt anybody. That's the chance he has. Puncher's chance."

A diamond is forever, but most reality TV engagements aren't. That doesn't mean we can't have some fun revisiting the stunning rings exchanged over the last two years by former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants, though.
Jillian and Ed
Engagement announced: July 2009
Called off: July 2010
Jillian wore a two-carat pear-shaped diamond ring accented with baguette side stones set in platinum by Neil Lane for the year that she was engaged to Ed, winner of that seasons' The Bachelorette. Viewers seemed skeptical about the authenticity of their relationship from day one, but at least Ed and Jillian seemed to part ways amicably and quietly—they muffled the blow of their breakup by announcing it only days after Jake and Vienna's nasty split.

I have a major ouch going on in my mouth!
Many years ago, while on active duty Air Force, I was involved in an airplane accident that required major reconstructive surgery on my face, jaw, nose and cheekbones. I don't look a horror because the work was done from inside my mouth. Last October, I cracked a tooth while eating an M&M candy. Ouch. Yesterday, yes it takes that long to get an appointment at my local VA. My dentist knows from xrays that below that tooth is a metal plate that is screwed into my jaw bone to hold the lower jaw in place. He attempted to do a root canal and found out that the last screw is drilled into this tooth. After I got my hands from around his neck, and with a thousand apologies, he and I agreed I need to see an oral surgeon to do the remainder of this root canal. The joy of all joys is because of the flap last week with me calling my other VA doctor from a phone number I got from a piece of paper stuck to the missing secretaries chair, that doctor cancelled all my prescriptions, including the pain meds the dentist had waiting for me for after this much fun.
Needless to say I will be drinking my Ensure for a few weeks while this jaw heals again. Then I have to get a crown put on that tooth. That was my only remaining real tooth, all others are implanted crowns, my teeth got smashed out in the accident.
Please say an extra prayer for me as I sip my Ensure and live on Tylenol!
I didn't get my mouth reconstructed, but I know some of your pain! I had a root canal done 4 days again. I have been attempting to eat, but I have to wait 2 weeks for my crown. So I am not drinking Ensure yet, but I am thinking about it. I am also popping Ibyprophen like candy. It is soooo painful! Also, thank you for all your services to our country!
Hugs to all who understand a tooth ache. You are quite welcome for my service to my country, I was the Phyllis Diller of airplanes, the dizzy blond who had the tail number 007! Bond, Jeanne Bond! lol
I remember that very first surgery. It was supposed to take about 8 hours. After 26 hours, they had to quit, take a break, rest and then start it all over again in a few days. Sadly, they did not inform my husband, where I was. Classic military hospital style! He found me four days later in ICU. I remember waking up on Saint Patrick's day, and there was a Roman Catholic Priest giving me The Last Rites! If I could have screamed, I would have. Thankfully the Priest was an old salt Irish Priest, with a thick brough, just like my Grandparents. He whispered, "there now, little lass" and sung a lullaby. As I looked around the room I saw any reflective surface was covered up with sheets and towels. I had massive amounts of tubes going in and out, I was secured to the bed so I could not move my head or upper body. I hurt all over. I had sutures where the doctors made my big mouth one half inch bigger on each side, that hurt and is the only scar to see. I faded back into a druggy sleep, with an Irish lullaby. They had to sedate my poor husband, he freaked out. Now, I was what you would call a real dog of girl. When my husband proposed, I snapped him up quicker than you can spit, I did not want to be the old maid wallflower, I was butt ugly. The doctor's joked that they made me Hollywood beautiful, perfect nose, perfect chin, cheekbones sculpted by the Nation's finest doctors. It was then that my husband got nervous. What if his new wife, who just happened to have a huge bank account and all the 'right people to know' for a strategic career move, what happens if she gets all pretty and leaves him? He never let me out of his sight and if I did go anyplace, I had to take dd with me. He figured no man would hit on a woman with a wedding ring and a baby? No, they didn't, but that seed of doubt was planted in his mind. Funny, I still 'see' me as the dog, the real barker of the city circus. I did not have a nose like Jimmy Durante or a smile like Phyllis Diller anymore. What is a girl to do? Hmm, get in trouble. lol
Hi, and thanks for serving!! I'll be saying a prayer for you that you make a speedy recovery.

River Place
The Gingko trees above River Place provide a splash of color in the fall.
The Gingko trees above River Place provide a splash of color in the fall.
A section of bright foliage lining the Swamp Rabbit Trail north of the city of Greenville.
The fall colors are showing at the chapel of the Travelers Rest United Methodist church.
The last of the leaves hang on the trees near the top of Paris Mountain.
Some fall foliage on Main Street near the Starbucks / Michelin on Main store.
The sun highlights the trees on Washington Street as the leaves are just beginning to change color.
Here are some views of fall foliage along the Swamp Rabbit Trail north of Greenville between Furman University and Travelers Rest. Â Â This trail makes a very pleasant daytime run or bicycle trip between Greenville and Travelers Rest.
The sunrise illuminated these changing leaves in the Lake Conestee Nature Park.
There was also a view through the trees in the park near a trail entrance that also looked like leaves on fire:
Today's photo shows red leaves accented against a blue sky. The photo was taken last Sunday … Greenville has a large variety of trees and even though the leaves are almost gone on this particular variety there are several others which are still turning from Summer green to one of Fall's many colors … Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Our Story: The Power of Play
It started with a simple concept: A ball.
We created an ultra-durable ball to bring the transformative power of play to the hundreds of millions of youth who don't even have something as simple as a ball.
In 2010, One World Futbol Project was founded as a B Corporation. With the help of our Founding Sponsor Chevrolet, our global network of giving partners and our Buy One, Give One customers, we have distributed over 1 million balls to communities around the world.
The One World Futbol was just the beginning. The impact of our efforts showed us that the need for play was something much greater. We discovered play's critical role in the lives of people all over the world—and where play can take us all tomorrow.
Play is in our DNA—a need as important as food, medicine and shelter. It's an intrinsic part of our lives, regardless of geography or culture, and through play we become stronger individuals, build better communities and create a more positive future.
Today, we are changing the game and our name by expanding our mission, products and services to enable play in all its forms—anywhere and everywhere.
We are now One World Play Project.
Join us and together, we will turn the world into a field of play.
A Spark of Inspiration
One World Futbol inventor Tim Jahnigen was watching news footage about traumatized refugee youth in Darfur playing soccer on dirt using a ball they had made by tying trash together with twine. In that instant, Tim saw that these kids had such strong, indestructible spirits and felt they deserved better. He realized there was a global need for a nearly indestructible ball that could withstand the harsh conditions often faced by youth living in refugee camps, disaster areas and other disadvantaged communities.
Help from a Famous Friend
Tim's dream of an ultra-durable ball remained in the concept stage until he brought it up in a conversation with his friend, world-renowned entertainer (and ardent football fan), Sting. Inspired by Tim's vision, Sting generously provided the initial R&D funding to create the prototype for the One World Futbol. In recognition of this critical support, both the ball and the company were named for the song "One World (Not Three)" written by Sting.

Company Launched
After much testing and refinement, the One World Futbol was finally ready for launch. Tim and his wife, Lisa Tarver, co-founded One World Futbol Project, a B Corporation with a mission to bring the transformative power of play to youth living in disadvantaged communities worldwide.
Support from a Founding Sponsor
Chevrolet became the founding sponsor of One World Futbol Project, pledging to support the donation and distribution of 1.5 million Chevrolet-sponsored One World Futbols to programs and schools around the world. One World Futbols are used by a broad network of organizations that use sport and play to teach conflict resolution, gender equality, health awareness and other essential life skills.
1 Million Balls, 30 Million Smiles
In September of this year, One World Futbol Project and Chevrolet celebrated the delivery of the 1 millionth Chevrolet-sponsored One World Futbol, bringing the power of play to an estimated 30 million youth around the world.
An Even Bigger Vision
Recognizing that enabling play helps to fulfill a universal human need, One World Futbol Project is broadening its vision to create additional tools, resources and services that will foster play anywhere and everywhere. In November, the company changed its name to One World Play Project. With help from sponsors, partners and supporters, One World Play Project is working to turn the world into a field of play.

Silver Magnifico
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Mexican artist and patriot Frida Kahlo loved silver, as she loved all things indigenous to her country. She recognized it as the wealth of her land, and wore stone-encrusted necklaces and earrings made of the precious metal.
Mexico leads the world in silver production, and every traveler who visits the country should consider it as a souvenir. In a class of its own, Mexican silver is usually crafted by hand.
In my travels to Mexico, some of my best silver finds have occurred in the towns of Queretaro and Guanajuato, about two hours northwest of Mexico City. For between 550 pesos (US$42.50) and 1,100 pesos (US$85), you can add a chunky basket-weave bracelet to your suitcase. A pair of simple earrings—perfect as a modest gift—costs no more than 110 pesos (US$8.50).
Some of the finest silver comes from the town of Taxco, situated between Mexico City and Acapulco. There, you can see master silversmiths, such as Emilia Castillo and Sigi Pineda, at work on their latest creations in their public studios.
A pricey option in Mexico City is Tane. You'll be hard pressed to find anything under 1,100 pesos (US$85) there, but many people regard the store as the Tiffany & Co. of Mexico. Surprising values can be found at department stores like Sanborns, Liverpool and El Palacio de Hierro. Look for pillboxes and hand mirrors with inlays of turquoise and carnelian, priced from 550 (US$42.50) to 1,100 (US$85) pesos. Boutiques such as Los Castillo and Arte en Plata of the Zona Rosa tempt collectors with antique hair combs, which cost about 550 (US$42.50) pesos, to 18th-century-style tea sets for around 55,000 pesos (US$4,254).
Years ago, a merchant at the Bázar del Sábado (the Saturday Bazaar) in Mexico City gave me a valuable lesson in Mexican silver. Here's the short form: Buy from established shops, and check for stamps of .925 and .950 that distinguish sterling silver from the lower-quality silver plate. I take her advice along when I go shopping.
Susan Weissman's jewelry box contains a fertility horn from Papua New Guinea, amber from the Dominican Republic and pearls from the South Seas.
Sterling Advice
Tips for Silver Care
• If you wear silver jewelry all the time, you won't need to polish it. The skin's chemistry prevents tarnish from forming, except in the case of individuals who are allergic to the metal.
• Wash and dry flatware and tableware thoroughly after each use. If you don't use it daily, place it in an airtight box.
• Don't mix silver and stainless steel in your dishwasher. The combination results in black spots on silver that are nearly impossible to remove.

Don Bosco Prep passed another test on Wednesday against Portledge of New York.
With a 10-5 decision over Portledge in the New Jersey Showcase at the AmeriHealth Pavilion in Newark, Don Bosco improved to 8-0.
But another benchmark will present itself on Friday evening when Don Bosco plays host to Gordon Conference rival Bergen Catholic at the Ice Vault in Wayne at 8 p.m.
"We haven't seen Bergen play yet but it's always a battle when the two teams meet," said Don Bosco coach Greg Toskos. "We had a good win over Portledge and we had the proper emotion level for the game. We've played well our first few games but we really haven't had that complete 45-minute effort. Against Portledge, I think we did."
What Don Bosco has also received is plenty of scoring from forwards Brendan Calello (13 goals), Cole Maier (6 goals), Robby Marsanico (6 goals) and Justin McKenzie (5 goals). Matt McMorrow has 3 goals and 10 assists.
Senior Christian Brown Noel is leading a rapidly developing young group of defensemen with juniors Rory Garlasco and Marc Buermann, and impressive sophomores Cody Calcagno, Trevor McGee and John Stimola.
Sophomore goalie Jared Liscio has a 1.62 goals-against.
Bergen Catholic bowed to St. Augustine Prep, 2-0, on Dec. 18 and is 3-3. But coach Mark Lotito's club has also beaten St. Augustine (5-3), Gloucester Catholic (4-1) and St. Peter's Prep (9-5).
Bergen has spread its goal-scoring nicely as Brandon Crawley, Brendon McGuire and Mike Ramirez have three goals each. Ryan Smyth and Brian Ayers each have two goals and two assists.
Toskos has liked what his team has produced thus far, but he knows this is no time for complacency to creep onto the bench.
"Listen, we have to just out-work the other teams," Toskos observed. "There's really no secret. You have to hustle and play hard. But, at 8-0
I like we are right now."
Chatham comes into the game at 3-3-1 after a 4-1 victory over West Morris on Dec. 21. Senior forward Trip Burke leads Chatham in scoring with eight points on five goals and three assists. Scott Kepler has added three goals and an assist.
Meanwhile, Summit is off to a torrid opening at 5-0-1, and is stocked up front and along the blue line. Standout senior defenseman Mike Nyitray has four goals and two assists while forward Jeff Wyckoff has four goals and Riley Flynn, Frank Lawrence and Chris Zanelli all have three goals.
Summit coach Keith Nixon beefed up the team's schedule this season as it is slated to play Randolph, Middletown South, Mahwah, Montgomery and Ridge.

Candy canes sweeten holiday festivities
POULSBO Raab Park took on a sweeter flavor Sunday as candy canes were hidden in the grass waiting for eager hunters to track them down.
With Mother Nature providing a healthy dose of winter sunshine, about 100 children and their parents wasted little time in finding their prey as all the Christmas delights were gone in a matter of minutes.
It was an excellent turnout and we couldnt have asked for a better day, said event organizer Marla Harkleroad as she surveyed the playground teeming with kids swarming up and down the slides and other new equipment at the park.
The playground equipment was set up by volunteers from The Home Depot, who worked with the citys parks and recreation department earlier this year to provide more amenities for local children to enjoy.
With each age group eyeing their designated areas, Harkleroad and a host of volunteers set them loose and within 30 minutes nary a candy cane was left to be found.
Everything went extremely well and there werent any problems at all, Harkleroad said, the sounds of a fire engine hailing the arrival of jolly old Saint Nick in the background.
Santa even made it on time, joked Parks and Recreation Director Mary McCluskey, who took the time to read the traditional holiday tale, Twas the Night Before Christmas, while visitors sipped hot cider and hot chocolate provided by Starbucks.
With Santa on site, kids automatically abandoned their candy cane quests and flocked to his side as parents stood by with holiday smiles on their faces.
With crowds beginning to dwindle, Harkleroad at last breathed a jubilant sigh of relief.
We had more people than last year, so Id say it was a success. And how about this weather? she said. We couldnt have asked for anything better.

A new study released by the Fraser Institute suggests growing wait times for health care may have contributed to the deaths of 44,273 Canadian women between 1993 and 2009.
The cover of a new report from the Frasier Insitute, "The Effects of Wait Times on Mortality in Canada."
The study, "The Effect of Wait Times on Mortality in Canada," released Monday, examines the relationship between mortality rates and lengthy wait times for medically necessary care in Canada.
The report says as wait times between referral from a general practitioner and treatment increase, so does the rate of female deaths.
"Deaths resulting from delayed medical care are unacceptable. Canadian taxpayers fund one of the developed world's most expensive universal access health care systems, yet delays for emergency care, primary care, specialist consultation and elective surgery are among the longest in the world," said Nadeem Esmail, study author and Fraser Institute senior fellow.
The estimated 44,273 deaths between 1993 and 2009 represent 2.5 per cent of all female deaths in Canada during that 16-year period, or 1.2 per cent of Canada's total male/female mortality.
During that same 16-year period, the study says for every one-week increase in the post-referral wait time for medically necessary elective procedures, three female Canadians died per 100,000 women.
In a separate analysis, the study finds that changes in wait times for cardiovascular treatments were associated with approximately 662 potentially avoidable female deaths between 1994 and 2009, representing 0.16 per cent of avoidable female deaths during the period.
The study says no significant relationship between wait times and male mortality rates was found. Possible factors for this include an increased participation among women in the workforce and differences in access to medical services.
"While the reasons for the potential gender difference remain unclear, the solution to the problem is obvious. Lengthy wait times for medically necessary treatment, and the deaths associated with them, are Canada's shame, but we can solve both problems through sensible policy reform," Esmail said.
With respect to possible solutions, he said, "Countries with relatively short health-care wait times rely to varying degrees on market incentives and private competition, such as cost-sharing and competing private hospitals, within the universal health care system. Policymakers who cling to flawed policies, and argue against reform with rhetoric rather than fact, should consider whether Canadians who die while waiting for health care are being sacrificed to ideology."

Times Reporter's Visa Application Still Under Consideration
Three days after a New York Times correspondent and his family were forced to leave the mainland after he wasn't issued a new visa by year's end, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has responded to say his application is still under consideration.
Chris Buckley, 45 years old, is a longtime foreign correspondent in the mainland. Previously a reporter with Reuters news agency covering Chinese domestic politics and other topics, Mr. Buckley joined the New York Times in September. Authorities have yet to grant him a 2013 visa to report for the Times from Beijing, and he was forced to leave the mainland on Monday as his old Reuters visa prepared to expire.
