What should we call this new hybrid retired/working status? How about "Retorking?"
The Office of Personnel Management has provided some guidance on the new retirement option, but the biggest question -- when will it be available? -- is still unanswered. OPM says the program will go into effect "at the time set in the regulations to be issued." But it's not clear when the regulations will be issued or what schedule will be set in those rules.
It seems that everyone wins by allowing this option of easing into retirement -- except maybe OPM. The new option will place an additional burden on the agency's already strained retirement processing system. For employees who choose phased retirement, OPM will have to process their retirement applications twice -- once to determine the partial retirement benefit and then again when the employee shifts to full retirement. The agency already is behind on processing traditional retirements. OPM received 7,814 new retirement claims in June, during which time it processed 8,964 claims. That cut the inventory of retirement claims waiting to be processed to 48,323 -- but that's still a huge backlog.
The Basics
If you are interested in phased retirement, here are some things you should know:
- Use of the option requires the mutual consent of the employee and the agency.
- Employees will be eligible to participate if they have worked full-time for the preceding three years.
- Employees must be eligible to retire in order to choose phased retirement. For those in the Civil Service Retirement System, that means at least age 55 with 30 years of service or 60 with 20 years of service. Under the Federal Employees Retirement System, employees must be the minimum retirement age (55-57, depending on year of birth) with 30 years of service, or 60 years old with 20 years of service. (OPM did not mention retirement eligibility at age 62 with five years of service, which is available as a full retirement option under both CSRS and FERS. It is unclear if such employees will be offered the phased retirement choice.)
- Employees who are subject to mandatory retirement are not eligible. This includes law enforcement officers, firefighters and air traffic controllers.
- The additional time worked during the period of phased retirement will be added to increase an employee's retirement benefit when he or she chooses to retire fully.
- Initially, the only option will be to work 20 hours per week and receive 50 percent of the earned retirement benefit.
- The employee will be permitted to return to full-time employment if the employing agency agrees to the change. If the employee chooses to return to full-time work, then the period of phased retirement would be treated as a period of part-time service. One year of part-time service scheduled at 20 hours per week would result in 50 percent of the normal annuity for that period of service.
- Sick leave will not be used to compute the phased retirement benefit. The balance of unused sick leave will be added to the computation of the final full retirement benefit.
- The employee will continue to be eligible for benefits under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and Federal Employees Group Life Insurance. The coverage amount will be based on the full-time salary for the position. The FEHBP employer contribution will be the same as for other full-time employees (rather than the pro-rated amount that part-time employees receive).
- If an employee owes a civilian or military service credit deposit, the decision to pay or not pay it must be made prior to entry into the phased retirement program. The effect of non-payment of a deposit will be permanent and no deposits or redeposit can be made at a later time.
So who's a good candidate for phased retirement? An employee who:
- Is eligible to retire
- Is mentally ready to retire
- Is financially able to afford to be retired
- Is happy in their federal position
- Wants to continue to provide service to the agency before full retirement
- Wants to ease into retirement, rather than retiring cold turkey
- Is interested in working part-time
- Is not interested in pursuing a second career
Who is not a good candidate for this option? An employee who:
- Is not eligible for retirement
- Is not able to afford to retire
- Is not happy in their current position
- Needs a change of scenery from their current position
- Wishes to have a second career while collecting full federal retirement
- Has other plans for retirement, such as relocating, traveling or pursuing other interests (although these can certainly follow a period of phased retirement)
On the other hand, employees who fully retire could still pursue another career or part-time work. That way, they would receive their full CSRS or FERS retirement, although, depending on their earnings and age, they probably would not receive Social Security or the FERS supplement while working. They also could increase their Social Security benefits by adding additional wages to their earnings record. In the case of a CSRS employee, the second career option would allow someone to pay into Social Security to qualify for a benefit that they might not otherwise be entitled to because CSRS employees are exempt from paying the FICA tax.
One other option that provides flexibility for retiring employees is the ability to come back to work as a reemployed annuitant either with or without a dual compensation waiver. I've written about this option in the past. Here are those columns:
- Back to Work (March 23, 2007)
- Back to Work, Again (March 30, 2007)
Final Word
For those employees who have been losing sleep over proposed changes to federal retirement benefits pending in Congress, remember that the phased retirement option is a change -- but not a negative one. If you look back over the past 30 years of modifications to the federal retirement system, I would guess the positives outweigh the negatives by at least 10 to 1.
On Monday, July 23, my colleague Bob Leins and I will be discussing the phased retirement option on our "For Your Benefit"show on Federal News Radio. Tune in here.

Stupid, Antiquated German Regulations Mean Germans Couldn't Watch Our Google Hangout With Rob Reid Yesterday
from the stupid-regulations dept
However, as pointed out by Ruquay K Calloway, the actual story may be more bizarre. While YouTube has been rightfully proud of launching Hangouts On Air (the feature we used to broadcast live) worldwide, Germany is actually missing from the big list.
It turns out that it may be a different ridiculous regulation, however. There's an old "broadcasting law" in Germany that was put on the books decades ago to stop pirate TV stations. And it says you can't broadcast to more than 500 people without a special license. And, because that's impossible for every one-off person seeking to use a tool like Hangouts on Air, it appears that Hangouts On Air is just off-limits in Germany. So, I'm sorry for all the Germans who wanted to watch the video live, but perhaps an effort should be made to wipe that silly rule off the books already.

Hi guys,
I would like to know if anyone has had this problem before and if there's anyway to fix it.
There is a message popping up saying ''Failed to prepare object file for printing''.
I've been having this problem today with our Makerbot Desktop software. We have the latest Windows version installed.
The weird thing is that it happened across 4 different computers during the same, only one was still working normally.
We were trying to export new files when it first happened, but it also occurred when trying with previously and successfully exported files.
I tried to find the problem on the makerbot/support platform but couldn't find anything. Same thing when searching on google, some people had the same issue but no apparent solution.
Anyone has any idea of what's the problem?
Thanks in advance!

it depends on what Jack and I would agree on, along with what you guys think would be the best choice. So basically, it's still pretty much up in the air.

First, what is religion?
What makes something a religion, as opposed to a philosophy or generic "world view"?
Second, how do you define that thing which makes something a religion? For instance, if you say that having faith equates to being religious, then how do you define faith?
And third, what justification is there for using that particular criterion or criteria (e.g., faith) in determining what religion is?
In most cases it is a neurosis. In Orthodox Christianity, true religion consists of Compassion and Love, especially for the most poor and defenseless.
Faith in something greater than ourselves, whether it is God or an ideal. Faith is a belief in something, not simply a belief that it exist. We can't really "define" it, but we can see how it works: "Now faith is the substance (Gk: "υποστασις" = "hypostasis") of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) If one has faith in Communism, one will act accordingly (revolutions, freedom fighters etc). If one has faith in the Nazi ideal, one acts accordingly (genocide, racism). If one has faith in Atheism, one will act accordingly.
That is is a neurosis? Simple observation. That true religion is Compassion and Love? Simple observation.
I know a number of people here like to call atheism a religion, so I was curious about how these people would define a few terms. First, what is religion? What makes something a religion, as opposed to a philosophy or generic "world view"?
Actually I'd agree with most of that, with the major difference being that I'd have changed the part about "cannot be absolutely proven through scientific means" to something that talks more about evidence, provisional acceptance of answers, testability, and disprovability.
To be honest, I really don't think there is one definition for religion, any more than there'd be a single, universally accepted one for something like love.
I know a number of people here like to call atheism a religion, so I was curious about how these people would define a few terms. First, what is religion? What makes something a religion, as opposed to a philosophy or generic "world view"?
I would argue that the level of certainty and precision applied to an unprovable belief makes it a religion as opposed to a philosophy or world view. If one is uncertain about a view, or at least non-dogmatic about it, it is more philosophical,
Faith is belief in that which is unprovable, not merely in gods or spirits, but also in things such as the consistancy of the real numbers or euclidian geometry. Faith, on this level, is fundamentally necessary to our very survival...it is when our faith is applied towards things which do not directly serve our survival or advancement that it becomes a religion, philosophy, or superstition.
"Religion is an inherent impetus, an instinctive need, therefore by definition individualistic" (Christos Yannaras "Against Religion", 2007). Based on this definition by Yannaras (personally I find it stunning), one could say that the center of religion is not God (or some "vague" concept of a super-natural being), but man. Thus, with its legalistic mindset (afterall religion is nothing more than a legalistic "system" of dogmatic beliefs, metaphysic "certainties" that "fortify" the individual (not person) against the fear of death), religion "feeds the individual with unreserved self-confidence, hedonistic self-righteousness, sanctified narcissism" (ibid.).I'm irreligious myself, 'cause Christianity (Orthodoxy) is not a religion, Christ is not the founder of any religion; He is the deliverer of man from the bonds of religion.
Apostolos I must admit, I don't quite follow what an "irreligious religion" is?
I understand defining religion in the way that you are doing it, and the charge of humanism. However, what do you make of Bible passages that talk about religion in a positive way?"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." - James 1:26-27
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
99.9% of those who declare themselves atheists or agnostic, have altered pure agnosticism into the alternant morpheme of ideology or zealot propaganda, in order to "beautify their psychological panic, found at their faith in the magnificent & altruistic Nothing". (Christos Yannaras, Essay-Kathimerini 2001). 99.9% of the "atheist" or "agnostic" writers, have altered their agnoctisim into a constructed religion. To give an example, Hegel, although an atheist, he constructs his religion on the "world of the Ethical Order", or on his concept "of an unchangeable Being, which arrives at, remains, in consequence, a "beyond", something afar off" (The phenomenology of Mind). Atheism is definitely a secularised, individualistic religion, with concrete structure & dogmatic beliefs (e.g intellectualism, humanistic moralism etc). Atheism is an irreligious religion.
The whole passage
The bible passages you presented, definitely talk against the religion of man. Christ is the epitome of "religion" & yet He is alien to any kind of religion. Christianity is not a religion but an "Ecclesia" (with its ancient Greek meaning. Ancient Athenians gathered at the Ecclesia-Principal Assembly, not just to counsel or to discuss various affairs of State, but primarily to form their "Polis", to imitate the cosmic harmony & order). The Ecclesia-Church is a communion of Persons (Christians gather at the Ecclesia-Prinsipal Assembly, in order to be in communion, to imitate the Triume communion in Certus Libertas of the Godhead).
Apostolos Yeah. I think you are confusing a couple things. Atheism has one belief: there is no God (though some would use a term like supernatural). Anyone who attaches anything much more to atheism is going astray, IMO, but certainly not everyone who is an atheist goes off the path in that manner. It would be more accurate to say that atheism allows intellectualism and all that other good stuff you mentioned. Atheism doesn't tie someone to beliefs, it merely frees them from a particular set of beliefs if they had previously been, for example, a believer in a personal God such as Jehovah. I don't have many dogmatic beliefs, except the ones that are necessary to give life any coherent meaning (e.g., that I actually do exist).
I'm not dogmatic about the big bang, I'm not dogmatic about neo-darwinian evolution, I'm not dogmatic about there being no God. I am rather sure that these things are true, however. There's a huge difference between blind dogmatism (aka unconditional, blind faith in an idea) and a rather certain, but nonetheless provisional, acceptance of an idea.I think that most atheists talk as though they are sure about things for a couple of significant reasons. First, they are sure, at least as sure as they can be. They don't question the theory of gravity, or say things like "gravity is a theory, not a fact!" There are some things that they just accept, and it'd be silly to them to go around always adding caveats to everything they say, about how they are only 99.9% sure, and open to new information. That should go without saying. If they did do that, everyone would have overly-long, convoluted, run-on sentences like me; is that what you want? Second, many people have a bad--though consistent--habit of taking atheists out of context (they also take evolutionists out of context). If an atheist goes around saying "Well I don't think there is a God, but of course we can't be 100% sure" all the time, that will be twisted into "See! The atheists admit that they can't be sure!" or perhaps "See! The atheists have no proof for their position, they just deny God to cover their wicked activity!" But this is not dogma, just acceptance. When pressed, even someone like Dawkins will admit that you can't be dogmatically sure, you can only be what might be called coherently sure (Dawkins Interview, around a minute and fifty seconds)
Eh, come on, I don't like fish, please no red herrings, ok?
Hold on a minute here. Did you just say :"Atheism has one belief"...I'm sorry my friend but, this phrasing alone makes it obvious that your atheism presupposes a faith in the non-existence of God. You're declaring a faith!
And something else. How can one reject God (or supernatural as you put it), without knowing it? Because as far as I know, we reject something when we have somehow related it to something else knowable (simple logic). Because AFAIK, it's impossible to escape from the question of God, if you don't know exactly what you're rejecting, before reject it (again, simple logic).
Come on, is that your best effort? A Dawkins interview?
Try perhaps Daniel Dennet or Sam Harris (sp?).
So you're a "bright"?
The word "religion" in Greek is not a noun in the same way as in english. In Greek it is almost a verb. The word translated as "religion" is "θÏησκια" ("threskia"), and the adjective, "religious" is "θÏησκος" (threskos). "Threskia" requires action, and "theskos" is an adjective describing one who has undertaken an action. Bridling the toungue ("χαλιναγωγων γλωσσαν") is an action, in the same way that bridling a wild horse is an action (and an exausting one!). Visiting the poor and distressed is also an action. St James is therefore making the obvious point that if someone thinks he is "threskos" but doesn't undertake the actions required by his "threskia", then they're kidding themselves.Now compare this to the english word "religion", the etymology of which is "re- ligio", meaning "to bind or tie back", implying, not action, but a restriction of movement. Interestingly, Christ said "You will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free". One who is tied back is not "set free".So, basically: threskia is good, religion is bad.
GICIf I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that a healthy skepticism is required, and once you cross the line into something akin to dogmatism you have become religious (whether it's religious belief in science or a goddess)?
If so, do you think there is a middle ground, where you can be sure enough to state that certain things are fact in general conversation, though when pressed you'd admit that you can't be 100% sure?
Where is the line between dogmatism/religion and philosophy? I realise that the line would probably change from subject to subject based on the variables (especially the amount of evidence), but how does one tell whether it's philosophy or religion without being subjective? Or is there no escape from subjectivity here?
But is it faith, or can it be simple acceptance?
For example, people use logic to prove that we actually exist (cogito ergo sum; if I didn't exist, I couldn't ask whether I existed).
What if I simply accept this, though am perfectly willing to accept that I could be wrong? Since I am not being dogmatic, is it really a matter of faith (of the religious kind)?
What about the holy fathers or ancient Christian writings? Has there been anything in these writings that suggest these definitions?
It's more accurate to say that atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods (or the supernatural for some).
I don't like the word because it implies faith, which I wouldn't say that I had
It's all about how you define faith.....Admittedly, these are my definitions.
a. Confidence, reliance, trust (in the ability, goodness, etc., of a person; in the efficacy or worth of a thing; or in the truth of a statement or doctrine). Const. in, †of. In early use, only with reference to religious objects; this is still the prevalent application, and often colours the wider use.a1300 Cursor M. 3405 (Cott.)

Just as families across the commonwealth have been cutting coupons and bargain-shopping to keep grocery bills affordable, grocers too are constantly looking for ways to offer their customers competitive prices. This November, we'll all have the chance to vote on a ballot question that, if passed, will burden consumers with a host of additional costs.
Just as families across the commonwealth have been cutting coupons and bargain-shopping to keep grocery bills affordable, grocers too are constantly looking for ways to offer their customers competitive prices. This November, we'll all have the chance to vote on a ballot question that, if passed, will burden consumers with a host of additional costs.
Question 2 will ask voters to expand the state's bottle redemption fee, which currently tacks five cents on to beer and soda. The proposal seems innocent at first glance, and purports to help the environment. These claims are far from the truth.
Question 2 seeks to add a five-cent fee to several additional containers — a fee that will automatically increase every five years. On top of redemption fees, Question 2 will have consumers absorbing nearly $60 million a year in higher grocery costs due to the numerous industry expenses that come with operating a cumbersome redemption system. For one, grocers are forced to act as redemption centers and take bottles and cans back at their stores. This leads to a host of concerns from the need for increased retail space to sanitary issues that make this requirement an expensive one.
Despite increasingly high costs, the benefits of an expanded redemption fee are few and far between. It would only increase the state's recycling rate by 0.12 percent — a rate hardly worth a mention.
Why so little impact? Because increasing recycling by a meaningful amount requires not only targeting bottles and cans, which make up a sliver of the waste stream, but reaching all recyclable materials — metal, plastic, cardboard and aluminum.
And Massachusetts already pays for a system that targets all recyclables. Today, 90 percent of communities have access to curbside pickup or another form of community recycling. Paying for curbside along with a retail redemption system doesn't make good environmental sense. It actually costs more money while undermining the comprehensive, community recycling systems that have moved our state forward.
In a progressive state like Massachusetts, it's a shame that we're even discussing expanding a redemption system implemented in 1983. We've made tremendous inroads in recycling since then, and there is no reason to go back to an old system instead of building on newer techniques that work better, and are far more affordable.
There is no good justification for spending nearly $60 million to target bottles and cans that residents are already recycling in their blue bins at home, through modern systems that are far more efficient.
It's hard to imagine why anyone would support more redemption fees, but it's worth noting that it's not a bad deal for politicians. Even the most ardent supporters of expanding redemption fees have admitted it will send the state over $20 million in new revenue from unredeemed containers. That's millions of dollars from the pockets of Massachusetts residents who are likely recycling their containers at home, but just haven't had the time to go through the arduous process of bringing them to a redemption center, and feeding them one by one into reverse vending machines.
Question 2 would do far more for state government than it would for recycling.
Massachusetts has a chance to create real change when it comes to recycling. With a community recycling infrastructure in place that we didn't have in the early 1980s, our state is positioned to be a national recycling leader. Going back to an outdated system won't get us there. But we could get there by taking the resources required to expand the redemption fee and investing them into curbside pickup. Massachusetts leads the way in many areas. Why shouldn't recycling be one of them?
Recently, chambers of commerce, businesses, trade associations, and veterans of the recycling industry came together to take a stand against a measure that will only cost consumers while moving our state backwards. Our coalition — Comprehensive Recycling Works — was launched in early July and continues to grow.
It's not only that Massachusetts can do better when it comes to recycling, but expanding the redemption fee will actually harm progress that we've already made. And at a hefty cost to consumers.
Comprehensive Recycling Works invites voters to join us in working to keep groceries affordable, and to stand up for better, more comprehensive recycling. Most importantly, we urge that residents vote "no" on Question 2 this November.
Chris Flynn is president of the Massachusetts Food Association and Chairman of Comprehensive Recycling Works.

Residents of Missouri Veterans' Home-Mexico
Dr. Glen Kallenbach, who had a medical practice in Mexico from 1946 until his retirement in 1984, is celebrating his 100th birthday today. At the time of his retirement he was in practice longer than any other physician who was in practice at that time and was dubbed "dean of Mexico physicians." It has been reported he delivered more than 3,500 babies during his years of practice. In 2003, Dr. Kallenbach wrote a book about his life and career as a physician. Dr. Kallenbach, who was born in Tuscumbia, is a resident of Missouri Veterans' Home-Mexico.

AT just two years old, Max Caven has battled through six operations at the Oxford Children's Hospital.
But now the toddler is fighting fit and climbs anything he can get his hands on.
To thank doctors for their care, mum Ceri Caven, 22, of Gaydon Close, Carterton, is tackling the OX5 Run for the Headington hospital on Sunday, March 30, at Blenheim Palace.
Max was born seven weeks premature on June 30, 2011, with part of his bowel outside his body – a rare condition called Gastroschisis. As a five-hour-old baby he had surgery before a second operation at two days old to repair some damage to the organ.
Mrs Caven, said: "It was all such a blur, everything happened so quickly I can't even remember it."
After being moved from the neonatal intensive-care unit to Tom's Ward, he had four more operations within six months.
But staff put in the extra effort to get Max healthy enough for him to have his first Christmas at home with his mum and dad, Joe Caven, 23.
Over a month they taught Mrs Caven how to feed him through a tube into his stomach and he was able to leave hospital on December 21. She said: "It was exciting to have his first Christmas at home, and very overwhelming.
"That he got home just before Christmas was amazing.
"All the staff were really trying to help us get home and they were really busy at that time of year anyway.
"I'm really grateful he is here, basically, he has had so many operations and blood transfusions.
"You look at him now and wouldn't know any of it, he has no fear whatsoever – he'll climb anything, he's a happy little toddler."
His little sister, Brooke, one, was born healthily.
Mrs Caven is hoping to raise more than £250 for the hospital taking on the OX5 Run.
The run, which is organised by the Oxford Mail and sponsored by Allen Associates, last year raised £98,000 for new equipment. It is hoped this year's run will hit the £100,000 fundraising mark.
The run takes place in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, on Sunday, March 30, at 10.30am. Entry costs £10 and runners are asked to aim to raise £100 or more.

Principal Investigator(s):
Energy is uniquely fundamental to biology. We can at least conceive of life forms made up of elements other than the familiar carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Life forms that do not use energy, however, are inconceivable.
Ecologists have been studying the movement of energy in ecosystems for decades and two research traditions for doing so have developed. The older one, called ecological thermodynamics, looks at energy flow and storage within whole ecosystems and tries to explain and predict patterns in these flows. For example, scientists in this tradition might look at how the networks of energy flows in ecosystems change over time. The second tradition, metabolic ecology, starts with the metabolisms of individual organisms and the way metabolic rates vary with organism size and body temperature. They then make predictions about ecosystems based on the properties of the individuals making them up.
These two lines of research are potentially complementary. However, their practitioners have ignored each other's work to a remarkable extent. The Working Group will bring together scientists from both energy-centered lines of research, help them come to understand each other's research, and ask what emerges when we try to bring metabolic ecology and ecological thermodynamics together ,and what questions could be addressed from these bottom-up and top-down perspectives. With any luck, this synthesis will help us understand ecosystems on a fundamental level. It can also help us predict how ecosystems will respond to a warming climate.
UPDATE September 2013
When our Working Group met in July 2013 we were extremely productive. Participants educated each other about their research areas, formed a consensus on core principles, and made considerable headway toward a synthesis of metabolic and systems ecology. The group is currently drafting a paper tentatively titled, "Thermodynamics, Metabolism, and the Unification of Ecology". A subgroup is actively researching a newly identified topic, the scaling of carbon or energy turnover rates with total ecosystem biomass. In addition, we identified several other topics for future work, including the results of optimization at different levels of organization. Each of these will result in at least one paper.
More information about this project.
This work is supported by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, a Center funded by NSF (Grant #EF-0553768), the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the State of California.

SDMI Threatens Professor If He Doesn't Destroy Paper
from the veiled-threats dept
A while back someone at SDMI must have thought it was a good idea to offer up the "Hack SDMI" idea to prove that their copy protection scheme was solid. There were, of course, lots of problems (and plenty of people who boycotted the whole process anyway). Some folks at Princeton bailed out at the last minute once they realized that the agreement they would have to sign (or, rather, "click") meant they couldn't publish their findings. Of course, they went on with their research, and now are planning on publishing their findings at a conference. The folks at SDMI are (to say the least) upset. They've sent a threatening legal note suggesting that the professor needs to destroy all copies of the paper. This is the thanks he gets for proving that the copy protection scheme they've created is full of holes? Anyway, full text of the letter and this dangerous paper are available here.

80% of girls are infected with venereal disease virus HPV you know how much?
▌ Hpv what is the ghost?
Hpv (human papillomavirus), an episode of epidermal virus that infects the skin and mucous membranes. About 100 species, divided into two categories, low-risk type and high-risk type.
Low-risk HPV
About 12 low-risk HPV types that do not cause cervical cancer. However, these HPVs can cause genital warts or very weak cervical cell changes. Low-risk HPV 6,11,40,42,43,44,53,54,61,72,73 and 81. Among them, HPV 6 and 11 are the most common low-risk HPVs, and 90% are associated with genital warts.
High-risk HPV
High-risk HPV can cause abnormal changes in cervical cells. For abnormal changes in the cells if not treated in time, it may develop into cervical cancer. The 13 most common types of high-risk HPV are 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59 and 68. Of which type 16 and type 18 are the most common, about 70% of cervical cancer are related to them. A study by the National Cancer Institute found that about 10% of women infected with HPV types 16 and 18 develop a high degree of cervical precancerous lesions (CIN 3) within 3 years of infection (about 9% of women with other high-risk HPV types 4% of cases), 20% of women develop a high degree of cervical precancerous lesions within 10 years (about 7% of other high-risk HPVs).
Continuous high-risk HPV infection is a necessary condition for cervical cancer. By detecting HPV virus early detection and comprehensive prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.
▌ How do I know if I have HPV?
Low-risk HPV infection performance:
The benign appearance on the skin is manifested as verruca-like appearance of the hand, foot, and special areas, such as the nostril neck. External genital diseases (genital warts) benign performance of visible and invisible three states, respectively, the typical performance, clinical infection, latent infection.
Warts infected with HPV generally do not appear red or brown . It should be noted that some warts are very small, even in vitro is difficult to see through the naked eye.
Mainly occurred in: female genital, vaginal, cervix and anus around the anal canal, urethra; men's vulva, penis, testicular surface, urethra, anus, anal canal and so on. Rare in: armpits, umbilical fossa, toes, breast under the scull.
High-risk HPV infection manifestations: skin cancer and cancer.
Possible symptoms of cervical cancer:
Abnormal vaginal discharge or bleeding (especially after sexual intercourse).
Pee pain (especially if the lower abdomen is also painful).
Sexual pain.
▌ HPV is how to get infected?
HPV is a virus that is transmitted mainly through sexual transmission, close contact and indirect contact. In addition, infants may cause harm to their babies through contact with the pregnant woman's birth canal.
HPV is a sexually transmitted infection for most women, and about 80% of new women are at least infected with HPV and are completely immune to the health of their body's immune system before they cause abnormal changes in their cells, Can not be tested. Most infections can be automatically eliminated within a year or two by the autoimmune suppression, will not cause disease.
Low-risk HPV is also transmitted through close contact with the genitalia, genital warts can affect the local immunity, for high-risk HPV persistent infection to create the conditions, if infected with genital warts, active treatment should be the main test whether infected with high-risk type.
Men infected with the HPV virus, due to the particularity of the physiological structure, basically can be cleared by their own immunity. Men's transmission is basically through sexual infection, whether daily life can be infected is inconclusive. Infection with HPV by men is not a disease in itself, and most people can be cleared by their own immunity. Even low-risk genital warts can be treated, high-risk type of cancer is very rare.
Condoms have some protection, but they do not completely prevent infection because they do not cover the entire genitalia. Multiple sexual partners increase the risk of HPV infection.
▌ HPV is not sexually transmitted diseases?
HPV can be said that it is a cold in STDs. People often confuse HPV infection with other sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes and HIV. Although these diseases can occur simultaneously in an individual, HPV infection differs from other types of sexually transmitted diseases.
Genital HPV infection is very common and 80% of women have a chance of getting infected. Simple HPV infection does not require treatment, only when persistent infection causes cervical intraepithelial lesions only need treatment.
Currently there is no HPV test for men, can not determine exactly what time, from who infected with HPV, do not need to pursue sexual partners.
Each sexually transmitted disease varies, it can amplify each other if they occur simultaneously. For example, HIVIDS reduce the immunity of women, and the risk of developing cervical cancer is increased if they are also infected with HPV.
▌ HPV prevention and detection.
HPV prevention.
There are currently two types of HPV vaccines that have been approved: Gardasil and Cervarix, which are mainly used to prevent HPV types 16 and 18 associated with 70% of cervical cancers. In addition, Gardasil prevents the two most common forms of low-risk HPV that cause genital warts, types 6 and 11. No protective effect on other carcinogenic HPV infection. In addition, vaccines protect girls and young women who have not yet been exposed to HPV. For women who have been infected, the protective effect of the vaccine is still in the research and development stage.
Life's attention:.
Maintain as few sexual partners as possible.
Use condoms if you have multiple sexual partners. Condoms do not cover the entire penis and therefore can not completely avoid HPV infection. A paper published in the Journal of Medicine, TheNew England, states that sticking to condoms can actually reduce the risk of HPV infection. In addition, it can also prevent the spread of other sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV and so on.
Smoking is prohibited because smoking affects the body's immune system.
And pregnant women, like folic acid and multivitamins. The latest study found that women with higher levels of folic acid (a B-family vitamin) had a lower risk of HPV infection and had a lower chance of persistent infection if they had been infected with HPV.
HPV test.
The digene HPPV test is the first HPV testing technology to pass both the US FDA, European CE and Chinese SFDA certification. The digeneHPV test simultaneously detects the 13 most important high-risk HPV types, HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 68. (Although QIAGEN products can also detect low-risk HPV, they are generally not recommended for routine screening).
For women over the age of 30, we recommend routine testing of HPV and cytology. Although the age of women infected with HPV at this age decreased, but due to decreased immunity, the possibility of persistent infection increased, easy to progress to cancer, is a high incidence of cervical cancer. Accuracy up to 100% if combined screening.
Women under the age of 30, due to active sexual activity, the risk of infection is relatively high, but because of the relatively strong immune system, most are transient infections, do not need routine HPV testing. However, medical experts recommend that women of any age should be tested.
In causing cervical lesions on duty, HPV infection may be latent for months or even years. If the cytology results are normal, HPV positive, there is a risk, one year after the review. If the HPV test results continue to be positive, regardless of cytological findings, further evaluation is required.
Cervical cancer is almost 100% preventable by combined screening of cytology and HPV testing on a regular basis.
▌ HPV treatment.
There are currently no antibodies or other drugs against the HPV virus. Before the HPV virus causes the disease, it usually disappears automatically or is reduced to a lower level by the body's own immunity.
The main treatment of genital warts are: self-medication and doctor treatment. There is no clear data to show that there is a significant difference between the two methods.
Doctor treatment methods:.
Cryotherapy, the wart frozen to eliminate.
Trichloroacetic acid, suitable for wet parts, smaller wart body.
Electrocautery surgery, burn the wart by electric current.
Laser treatment, the use of glare to wart body burning volatile, mainly for larger wart, or other methods of treatment is invalid.
Surgical resection is useful when the number of warts is small and the volume is small, or when it can not be determined whether it is a wart caused by a low-risk HPV infection.
Since there is no way to prevent infection, the most effective way to avoid worsening is to detect it early and to treat it before canceration. This is why regular screening for 解脲原體 cytology and the need for regular HPV testing in women over the age of 30 are important. Young women are very susceptible to HPV, but women in this age group are less likely to develop cervical cancer because of their relatively high resistance. Women over the age of 30 are less susceptible to HPV, but the virus is more likely to lurk for longer periods of time and cause abnormal changes in the cell. Early treatment of cervical precancerous lesions, to avoid its continued development of cervical invasive carcinoma.
Among them, HPV 6 and 11 are the most common low-risk HPVs, and 90% are associated with genital warts.
A study by the National Cancer Institute found that about 10% of women infected with HPV types 16 and 18 develop a high degree of cervical precancerous lesions (CIN 3) within 3 years of infection (about 9% of women with other high-risk HPV types 4% of cases), 20% of women develop a high degree of cervical precancerous lesions within 10 years (about 7% of other high-risk HPVs).
Simple HPV infection does not require treatment, only when persistent infection causes cervical intraepithelial lesions only need treatment.
There are currently two types of HPV vaccines that have been approved: Gardasil and Cervarix, which are mainly used to prevent HPV types 16 and 18 associated with 70% of cervical cancers. The digeneHPV test simultaneously detects the 13 most important high-risk HPV types, HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 68.

Terri's Notes
~ I tried the fat free tortillas, weren't as good as the real deal in this recipe.
~ Can't find a ripe pear or kiwi? I used some fresh pineapple, raspberries would be good - just make sure you have a mix of color, sweet, tangy, crunchy . . . Dressing mixture covered about 5 cups of fruit total as made per this recipe.
~ It's tasty without the chips and I think would be a good topping for grilled fish or chicken too.

On Sunday the New York Times ran a story about a new wave of survivalism sweeping the upper classes as they hunker down in their penthouse apartments and beach houses in the Hamptons, waiting for the big one — whether that means nuclear war, pandemic, or the collapse of Bear Stearns — to come. Leading the charge is Barton M. Biggs, former chief strategist at Morgan Stanley, who lists wine as one of his top survival rations. Seriously?

This drip tip is made from borosilicate (pyrex) glass by a true artisan that takes pride in his work. Each one is hand-crafted, with fluid lines and machine like precision they are guaranteed to be the snuggest, and most elegant drip tip in your collection. The smooth contour give this tip one of the nicest "lip feel" we've ever experienced.
Pyrex drip tips offer the ultimate in beauty, functionality and durability. This tip has a fumed base, two relief lines and a clear cobalt blue top.
Length: .95in
It's true, once you go pyrex, you never go back!
Protip: Put 1 drop of eliquid on the rubber o-rings, then wipe the liquid and thuroughly coat the o-rings. "Lubing" the o-rings prior to install REALLY helps in snugging it down all the way and forming a tight seal. Once lubed, don't be afraid to apply direct downward pressure to install the drip tip.

So, another Autumn is here. From the window I see grey skies and hear the persistent tapping of rain. But despite the dim light and the muted atmosphere, it's always been my favourite season. Hot soup, mulled wine, darkening evenings, long scarves, warm radiators with the windows sealed firmly shut - and a suitably warming soundtrack.
It might not be new, but Trouble Books' opus falls from the speakers like swirling orange leaves. Soft-focus and heart-meltingly gentle, The United Colours Of... is a perfect autumnal record, wrapping itself around you like a warm blanket. Comforting, considered, wholesome, sweet, funny and more than a little bit twee, the album embraces elements of folk, post-rock, melodic pop, and even a burst of noise or two, to create something enduring and nigh-on perfect.
Fuck Buttons follow up their breakthrough album Street Horrrsing with Tarot Sport, a seven-track epic produced by Andy Weatherall. The first single 'Surf Solar' seemed to suggest a heavier techno-influenced direction, but thankfully Tarot Sport is rich and varied, flitting between airy, psychedelic repetitions and shattering rhythms, staccato melodies and tectonic planes of distortion. The heightened production values add a gloss to the sound, but this is a Fuck Buttons record through and through - optimistic, wide-eyed, emotionally generous and sonically powerful. If you want to pre-order it, you can do so over at Norman Records now.
Portland's Peter Broderick was a quiet revelation at Green Man Festival this year. He takes the familiar solo-loop-pedal-guy format and does something genuinely interesting with it, flicking with ease between instruments to create beguiling, haunted, gradually unfurling songs. Home is an extremely pleasant listen; thoughtful and gently engaging throughout.
Town And Country, for such a long running project, are a pretty obscure band. Then only mention on eMusic is for a more recent band of the same name, with some comments from disgruntled fans. A little further research shows that they have disbanded and now operate under the monicker DRMWPN. But Town And Country's output was phenomenal, nonetheless. I first found them supporting Godspeed You Black Emperor on the F#A#(infinity) tour: a hushed little bubble of rapt admirers watched in a sold-out room teeming with chattering, drunk Mancunians. Town And Country played on, sharing conspiratorial smiles with the attentive few. Their purposeful instrumentals slowly unfolded, melding together traditional folk ensemble instrumentation with elements of upbeat post-rock and earthy jazz. It All Has To Do With It was duly bought from the merch stand, and at this time of the year it sounds better than ever.

Yes, this is another PSU/Sandusky post. Sorry, I know many of you are annoyed with this topic already, but I feel the need to post for my own sanity. It is my first post on this subject for what it's worth.
How many of you have visited http://www.blackshoediaries.com/ since the NCAA sanctions came down? I have to say it is truly another universe. The shit I see over there is insane. It really is the Joe Pa cult at its worst. The overwhelming theme is of being slighted and victims of the NCAA. I would post examples, but there are just too many. You can go over to the site and pretty much every post and comment has to do with the NCAA taking their sacred football away. From not believing the Freeh report to stil denying that it was a "football" scandal, I have never seen such a deluded group outside of scientology.
I really hope this is just the fringe of Nittany Lion fans. These people really "do not get it." I can't emphasize enough how bizarre and twighlight zone like it is to read through their material. I started to question my own reality for just a moment, then snapped out of it, remembering kids were raped and their god-like worship was for a man who enabled and hid the horrific acts.
I feel it is way too early for anyone on that campus or in that community to feel "cheated" by anyone other than the prior leadership. Their venom towards their current President and Board of directors for not "fighting" for the university's rights is ludicrous. They still fail to realize that you lose any moral authority when you enable a child rapist for over a decade.
It's called collateral damage, and it tends to happen in places that never challenge or question the status quo, but instead enable it through hero worship. To me, these fans, while not guilty of the crimes or the coverup, are getting exactly what they deserve. Were they more contrite about the scandal or focused on the victims, I would have much more sympathy. But the fact that their precious football is still the #1 issue suggests that maybe the NCAA did not go far enough. A four year death penalty is perhaps what they really deserved.

Transportation official: NH bridge tested, returning to normal operations for all traffic
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � A New Hampshire transportation spokesman says a lift bridge that's been out of commission for days to motor vehicle traffic over the Piscataqua River is reopening.
The 73-year-old Sarah Mildred Long Bridge connecting Portsmouth, N.H., to Kittery, Maine, was shut down on Wednesday after its center span got stuck during a routine test. The closing blocked shipping lanes until the bridge was lifted Saturday to allow boats to pass, but cars and trucks could not use the bridge. The ships carry heating oil and other supplies on the river.
Bill Boynton of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation said the bridge was lowered and tested Sunday and would be back to normal operations by about 7 p.m. for both ships and motor vehicles.

"mutantur omnia nos et mutamur in illis"
("All things change, and we change with them") – Latin Proverb
Latin helps create curious, intellectually rigorous students with a rich interior world, people who have the tools to see our world as it really is because they have encountered and imaginatively experienced another that is so like, and so very unlike, our own. Any other language - Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian, and Arabic - becomes easier for someone with a grounding in Latin. Whether it is in getting to grips with the basic vocabulary or in interpreting complex texts, we can provide a professional Latin Tutor who can help you.

As I usually ask and post about on here when I'm not doing much flying, please comment or send me an email if there's anything specific you'd like to see on the site. I have a couple things planned but just haven't had an opportunity to write them yet. One reader requested details on my video equipment setup. I am also dreadfully behind on finishing reviews of two checkride prep books. Hopefully I finish both before the wedding, but no guarantees. So again, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see... and safe flying!

Less than ninety days until the big day
Things have been extremely hectic and busy lately, to say the least. Our wedding is less than three months away and working on all the final details - in addition to work, the usual household chores, and traveling out of state what seems like every weekend - is consuming just about every last free moment I have. For those of you who are newer to the blog, you may have never read the story of our engagement last spring. So while I continue to figure out when I'm going to have a chance to fly again, why don't you take a trip back in time 14 months to read all about my surprise engagement trip and proposal?
