FAQ: The link between hepatitis C and liver cancer

Providence Cancer Center
; and
Ken Flora
, M.D., medical director of
Providence Digestive Health Institute
and consulting physician to Providence Liver Cancer Clinic.
I heard recently that liver cancer is on the rise. Why is that?
Primary liver cancer — cancer that starts in the liver, rather than spreading to the liver from somewhere else — is increasing rapidly right now. This increase is linked mainly to the spread of hepatitis C infection in the '60s, '70s and '80s. Hepatitis C, a virus that inflames the liver, is one of the main causes of primary liver cancer, or "hepatocellular" cancer. It wasn't until the late 1980s that we began to understand hepatitis C and how it was spread — through blood. Until then, blood donations weren't screened for hepatitis C, so a lot of people were exposed to the virus through transfusions, as well as other ways, such as using shared needles used to inject drugs. Since the hepatitis C virus progresses very slowly, we're just now starting to see complications arise among this large population that was exposed 20, 30 or 40 years ago. Liver cancer is one of the potential complications.
Does everyone with hepatitis C eventually develop liver cancer?
No — in fact, most don't. Only people who develop cirrhosis as a complication of hepatitis C have a higher risk of developing liver cancer. About 20 percent of people with hepatitis C develop cirrhosis — advanced liver scarring caused by decades of inflammation. Of those who do develop cirrhosis, about 20 percent eventually develop liver cancer. So overall, among all people with hepatitis C, the chance of developing liver cancer at some point in your life is about 4 percent.
What makes some people with hepatitis C more or less likely to get liver cancer?
If you don't develop cirrhosis, then you are at no higher risk of liver cancer than the general public. Having cirrhosis is what raises the risk, so anything that increases your risk of developing cirrhosis will also increase your risk of developing liver cancer. Alcohol consumption is the key risk factor here. People with hepatitis C should not drink alcohol, since it can accelerate liver damage. Certain prescription and non-prescription drugs also can damage the liver, so people with hepatitis C should review their medications with their physician to make sure they aren't taking anything that could put further stress on their liver. Finally, smoking increases the risk of all cancers, including liver cancer, so people with hepatitis C should not smoke.
How does hepatitis C lead to liver cancer?
Hepatitis C inflames the liver, and over the course of many years, this inflammation can lead to scarring. Most people with hepatitis C never experience significant scarring or complications, but about 20 percent develop cirrhosis, which is advanced scarring throughout the liver. Because hepatitis C is a slowly progressive virus, it can take 30 or 40 years for cirrhosis to develop. Meanwhile, the liver is resilient — when damage occurs, the liver goes to work to regenerate itself. We believe that cancer occurs during this ongoing cycle of injury and regeneration. The more cells the liver regenerates, the higher the chances that a mutation will occur in one of those cells, and it's these mutations that can lead to hepatocellular cancer.
Is there a way to screen people with hepatitis C to check for liver cancer?
Yes. Ultrasound is the main screening tool used to check for tumors in the liver. Ultrasound is non-invasive and can detect tumors when they are quite small.
Should everyone with hepatitis C get ultrasound screenings?
Since liver cancer is a complication of cirrhosis, people who don't have cirrhosis don't need to be monitored closely for liver cancer. But people who do have cirrhosis should definitely get regular ultrasound screenings to check for liver tumors.
How often should a person with cirrhosis get screened for liver cancer?
At Providence Liver Cancer Clinic, we recommend that people with cirrhosis get an ultrasound screening twice a year. The more vigilant you are about getting these screenings regularly, the better your chances of catching cancer early, when treatment is most likely to be successful.
Are there any symptoms of liver cancer that a person should watch for?
Liver cancer usually doesn't present any outward symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular screening is so important. Signs of advanced liver cancer may include pain, tenderness or a lump on the upper right side of the abdomen; enlargement of the abdomen; jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes); easy bruising or bleeding; nausea; fatigue; loss of appetite; unexplained weight loss; or pain around the right shoulder blade.
Can liver cancer be treated?
In many cases, yes. The treatment options generally depend on the size and the number of tumors in the liver. That's why we say that the best treatment for liver cancer is appropriate surveillance, which means keeping your ultrasound appointments so we can catch cancer when it is most treatable.
What are the options for a person whose cancer is caught early?
If tumors are found when they are small and there aren't many of them, we can remove them either through surgery ("resection") or through radiofrequency ablation. Advances in minimally invasive surgery are making it possible to perform many tumor resections through tiny half-inch incisions, rather than opening up a large incision. These "laparoscopic" techniques minimize trauma to surrounding tissues and leave patients with just two or three tiny scars. While resection involves cutting tumors out, radiofrequency ablation involves zapping or burning tumors with localized electrical energy, which destroys the tumor and a small margin of tissue around the outside of it. This procedure can be performed laparoscopically, as well. Both tumor resection and radiofrequency ablation have the potential to cure a patient of liver cancer.
What if a person has a large tumor, or a large number of tumors?
In this case, we can't cut out or burn out the tumors, because a person with cirrhosis wouldn't have enough healthy liver tissue left in reserve to tolerate it. Instead, we use interventional therapies, such as radiation and chemotherapy, to try to slow the growth or reduce the size of the tumors. One of the most promising new interventional therapies is yttrium-90 bead implantation. This non-invasive procedure uses millions of tiny beads coated with a radioactive element — yttrium-90 — to deliver radiation directly to tumors. The beads are inject into a catheter leading to the main blood vessel that feeds the tumors. Once they reach the tumors, they stay there, blocking the blood supply that feeds tumor growth and destroying the tumor cells with radiation. The treatment is extremely effective at slowing down cancer growth, and can shrink tumors in many cases, as well. In some cases, tumors shrink so much that they become small enough for resection or ablation.
What if a patient isn't a candidate for these therapies. Are there any other options?
The final treatment option is a liver transplant. A person whose primary tumor is less than five centimeters in diameter, or who has no more than three small tumors (each less than three cm), can get on the transplant list. However, only about 7,000 livers become available for transplant each year, and there are about 55,000 people on the waiting list in the United States. Preference is given to people who will have the best prognosis after transplantation.
What is the prognosis after a liver transplant? Even if it cures the liver cancer, doesn't the patient still have hepatitis C?
A transplant won't cure hepatitis C, but it will remove the cancer and the cirrhosis. Remember that hepatitis C is a slowly progressing virus, and it can take decades to lead to cirrhosis — the main risk factor for liver cancer. After a transplant, the new liver will become infected with hepatitis C, but it will take at least 10 or 15 years for cirrhosis to develop. That gives patients an extra 10 or 15 years of health and hope, during which time scientists will continue to develop more effective therapies.

I get diarrhea during my period. What's up?
Blame it on natural chemicals called prostaglandins, which are primarily responsible for the uterine contractions that help expel blood from your bod. "Prostaglandins also trigger contractions in your bowels, resulting in diarrhea -- particularly during the first few days of your flow," explains Mary Jane Minkin, MD, clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale University School of Medicine. To stop the runs, pop an anti-inflammatory painkiller, like ibuprofen. These over-the-counter drugs reduce prostaglandin production, so you'll still have a regular period yet won't have to hightail it to the toilet as often. And try to consume bland, plain foods like white rice, bread, and bananas, which help prevent loose stools.

Learn more about the Honda Pilot: Honda Pilot Reviews, Pricing, Specs and more »
If you're interested in a mid size crossover SUV, the used Honda Pilot may be a good choice for you. This vehicle was Honda's second foray into the mid size crossover SUV type of vehicle, and most consumer reports agree that this was the more successful of the two. Before you buy used Honda Pilot models, however, it's a good idea to learn a bit about the history of this car so that you can accurately make a comparison between the Honda Pilot and other vehicles in its class and size category.
The Honda Pilot was first developed for the 2003 model year and is intended as a replacement for the Honda Passport. It has a unique unibody construction design and independent suspension. These two factors combine to produce a vehicle that is comparable in handling and responsiveness to a smaller car. The size of the Pilot and its positioning off of the ground, however, make it a good choice for people who require more ample space in their vehicle.
As fo 2009, Honda redesigned a portion of the Pilot for use on the road. This redesign was in part to help the Pilot to become more fuel efficient in light of increased fuel prices and environmental awareness since the time that the vehicle was first designed. Compared to full size SUVs, the Honda Pilot gets excellent fuel economy and mileage ratings. It has consistently been rated at the top of its class by consumer reports and customer reviews as well.

Franchisees, C-suite executives, and marketing experts in the limited-service industry have likely all come across the term big data in some form or another over the last couple of years.
But unless their background or interests lie in analytics or statistics, they probably shrugged it off as part of a conversation between numbers nerds.
Now, however, things are about to change.
"A revolution is going to happen," says Chris Diener, vice president of analytics for San Francisco–based AbsolutData, which consults with companies in the hospitality industry and others about collecting and interpreting data.
"We can't say when, but we're already seeing the start of it, and it's going to change the way businesses operate forever," he adds.
"The quick serve that masters big data first will have a huge edge on its competition. It will be flying over the marketplace while everyone else is on a bicycle."
In a nutshell, big data refers to the mass amount of information companies must contend with, both now and in the future.
If one pictures a quick-service headquarters as an airport, for example, data like Twitter comments, kids' meal sales in San Antonio, and the price of Equal packets are circling above in a holding pattern.
Data analysts are tasked with figuring out which pieces of information they need to "land" and then place them into one of two categories: structured or unstructured data, says Julie Washington, senior vice president and chief brand officer for Jamba Juice.
In the structured bin goes information coming from the POS that shows what's selling, where, and at what time.
Information is also compiled from social media—such as responses and likes—and from hard information like names, e-mail addresses, and physical addresses gathered through a loyalty program.
In addition, information comes in from suppliers regarding product availability and internal transportation, among other bits of data.
In large organizations, there exists a lot of data and information to be digested, much of which is likely to help a brand determine its health and direction.
However, the information is also internal. This means that analyzing all of the structured information might give a decent view of what's selling and when, but no indication as to why, Diener says.
That's where unstructured data comes in. It's the information outside the business that may possibly have an effect on it and effectively answer the "why" questions.
This includes information about weather patterns, traffic patterns, and population variations at a location at various times of the day, for example.
Some companies even employ "scrapers" to dig and mine for mentions of the business on social media networks, forums, and chat sites.
The art and science of big data involve taking both structured and unstructured data and figuring out how to incorporate them into marketing and operations planning. Modern high-tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook have been doing this for years, and now other industries—limited service included—are trying to capitalize, too.
"It's all about making predictions based off of this super data," says Jim Gallo, national director of business analytics at Information Control Corporation.
"It's taking geospatial data, such as the knowledge that you have a large number of loyalty club members passing by your interstate exit on their way home from work, and sending them texts about a special dinner offer you're having today," he says.
"If done right, you'll also know about how many will use the offer and how much product you should stock."
Although organizations have been producing an impressive volume of data for years, it wasn't until big data recently rolled around that they've been able to figure out exactly how to gain critical insights and value from it, says Brendan O'Meara, managing director of worldwide retail for Microsoft in Seattle.
"Historically, companies threw away most of this data because of prohibitive storage costs and weak analysis tools," he says.
At one point, for instance, a brand may have noticed bigger lunch crowds in a particular unit every other Friday, but may not have investigated the reasons that were fueling the trend.
However, once data is mined and examined, the brand may discover that those high-traffic lunch periods are the result of three nearby factories that have paydays on those Fridays.
This means there may be value in reducing lunch specials on paydays and increasing them on other days to drive more regular traffic, O'Meara says.
Not only has big data been around for many years, but marketing based on this information has, too.
For instance, restaurant operators know that coffee and hot chocolate sales go up when the weather cools down in the fall, and they generally plan their product stock accordingly.
However, the rise of big data promises to take this type of business truism and put some science and statistics behind it, with a little social media thrown into the mix, as well, Diener says. "There's basically one phrase that all of this data gets funneled down to," Washington says. "What is the ROI? How does the data we're collecting relate to the bottom line for the company? In some cases, maybe you're collecting data that you already have or you're paying for information you can get for free," she says. "You've got to stay on top of the data coming in and determine how useful it is to your bottom-line goals."

Legend 3 Confirmed: 5th April!
Monday, 10 February 2014 | Carl
SOURCE: www.addictedmma.com
Over the weekend Ruslan from LEGEND might have let the cat out of the bag about the upcoming LEGEND event in Italy, but the details were still a bit sparse. From the reports that we heard it would involve Carlo Di Blasi's Oktagon as well as some rumours about who might end up on the card. Now last night LEGEND tweeted out an image with two interesting fights on it. As you can see from the image above, the fights so far are Artur Kyshenko vs. Dzabar Askerov and Yuri Bessmetrney vs. Andy Souwer. Those are two big bouts and it looks like it'll be Souwer's first fight of the year post-appendicitis back in December.
Carlo Di Blasi sent out an email this morning confirming the fights. We'll have more as this unfolds.

Honoring Parents/
How did you celebrate Father's Day? Here in Cambodia, the holiday is not nearly as well known as others (for example, the Queen Mother's Birthday, which was yesterday). Cambodian culture places a high value on respecting parents and ancestors, but all too often this takes the form of gifts of money or offering sacrifices to idols on their behalf.
For many Cambodians, to honor their parents means to live in complete subservience to their parents' wishes, in relationships more reminiscent of servant/master than child/parent. This unhealthy mindset has been modeled for generations and is deeply rooted in Khmer culture.
To truly honor someone from your heart means to revere them by recognizing their value. This is what honor means in Scripture when it tells us to honor our father and mother, and this is what we are trying to teach Cambodians who have for far too long seen honor wrongly defined as co-dependency or control.
Many in Saang have never heard of Father's Day or Mother's Day, which is why we choose to celebrate both of these special days in church. Below are some photos of this weekend's Father's Day service, where God as our Heavenly Father was honored in worship and earthly fathers were encouraged and blessed through songs, teaching, a drama, and small gifts. We pray that your Father's Day was blessed!

An open letter to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board of directors
June 14, 2005
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
401 9th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20004-2129
Dear Board Members,
I was troubled to read in The Washington Post that former Republican National Committee co-chairwoman Patricia de Stacy Harrison is the "leading candidate" to be the next president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a position to which the CPB board of directors would appoint her.
As you know, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was established to shield American public broadcasting from political pressure. While Ms. Harrison has an impressive resume as a Republican activist and political appointee within the Bush administration, she lacks any experience in public broadcasting or independent journalism. I find it implausible that CPB chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson and your board cannot find a leading candidate who has the kind of extensive, relevant experience the position demands.
More troubling, by appointing a Republican activist to manage an organization designed to protect public broadcasting from political pressure, the board would be signaling to those who have treasured public broadcasting as a bastion of fairness and balance that it is now vulnerable to political manipulation. From Rush Limbaugh to the Fox News Channel, there is no shortage of conservative media in the United States. If CPB is committed to continuing to provide a nonpartisan alternative to such outlets, turning over the reins to a former co-chairwoman of the Republican Party is on odd way to accomplish that goal.
I urge you to find another candidate to lead CPB, hopefully one with more experience in public broadcasting than in partisan politics.
David Brock

America's decade of dread
This decade began and ended in dread. It began with Wall Street -- the World Trade Center -- targeted for mass murder. It ends with Main Street fearful and reeling from economic reverses that Wall Street helped create.
It was the decade of distraction. While the U.S. economy bubbled and then crumbled, the president for eight of the decade's 10 years embroiled us in a grudge match with Saddam Hussein and then persisted in throwing lives and money into the chaotic conflict that (as many predicted would happen) ensued. The decline of the American middle class was nowhere on his radar screen.
The stocks bubble of the late 1990s was succeeded by a bubble in housing; these were the engines of our economic growth. America's production of goods no longer received the level of investment that had made it the engine of our economic growth from the mid-19th century through the 1970s. The change began at the outset of the Reagan years, when the percentage of corporate profits retained for new investment dropped sharply. A report from the International Labor Organization published last week shows where the money went: to shareholder dividends, disproportionately benefiting the wealthy. In the prosperity years of 1946 to 1979, dividends constituted 23 percent of profits. From 1980 to 2008, they constituted 46 percent.
Finance boomed. The gap in annual wages between workers at financial companies and workers at non-financial companies, the ILO reports, grew from $11,000 in 1989 to $40,000 in 2007. The financial sector defended this shift by arguing that it had created many innovative financial products -- the very financial products that managed to turn downturn into Great Recession. In an interview in Monday's Wall Street Journal, former Fed chief Paul Volcker said that he has "found very little evidence that vast amounts of innovation in financial markets in recent years have had a visible effect on the productivity of the economy." He went on to say: "All I know is that the economy was rising very nicely in the 1950s and 1960s without all of these innovations."
The dread in the land today isn't just a fear of losing your job -- or of your spouse, sister, father or child losing his or hers. It's a fear that America has been hollowed out, that we don't have a sustainable path back to mass prosperity, let alone to economic preeminence. A poll taken last month for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) shows that 44 percent of Americans considered China to be the world's leading economic power, while just 27 percent thought the United States still held that throne. Such fears can only be intensified by public policies that fail to champion America's national interests by fostering the flight of investment abroad.
Overcoming some of our national phobia about having an industrial policy, the Obama administration has rightly targeted the renewable energy sector for investment -- a long overdue shift back to real, rather than financial, production. But we don't yet have policies to ensure that the real production we're fostering is done at home. As Joan Fitzgerald, director of the Law, Policy and Society program at Northeastern University, notes in a recent article, 84 percent of the $1.05 billion in federal clean-energy grants distributed since September has gone to foreign wind turbine manufacturers. Unionized, high-wage Germany and non-unionized, low-wage China both have thriving wind-power industries that profitably export their products to us. We have shunned policies that bolster domestic production, which is why more Americans are betting on China's economy than on our own.
The problem is that America's economic elites have thrived on the financialization and globalization of the economy that have caused the incomes of the vast majority of their fellow Americans to stagnate or decline. The insecurity that haunts their compatriots is alien to them. Fully 85 percent of Americans in that CFR-sponsored poll said that protecting U.S. jobs should be a top foreign policy priority, but when the pollsters asked that question of the council's own members, just 21 percent said that protecting American jobs should be a top concern.
The moral world that we see in that poll is the moral world of Charles Dickens. Of the elite of his day, he wrote in "Bleak House," "there is much good in it. . . ." But, he continued, "it is a world wrapped up in too much jeweller's cotton and fine wool, and cannot hear the rushing of the larger worlds, and cannot see them as they circle round the sun. It is a deadened world, and its growth is sometimes unhealthy for want of air."
America, at the end of this dreadful decade.

Bruce Eckel wrote and made available on the net a book titled, "Thinking in C++" (affectionately called TIC) that was my main resource for a couple of years. One day I was trying to download "Thinking in Java" when I noted a new title: "Thinking in Design Patterns" -- this was my first introduction to design patterns. Well, I should have said, "this was my first formal introduction to design patterns" because I had of course run across them in OO design books but I had not picked up the concept of reusable solutions.
Design Patterns are about capturing reusable solutions to software engineering problems. These solutions, once identified, can be captured and described in an abstract language (well this is a bit of a fuzzy area) and then applied in a number of different languages. Most design patterns are actually a subset of Object Oriented (OO) design though it should be noted that technically design patterns are not limited to only OO design.
Design patterns can be wonderful. In C++ they can often help solve problems of memory management, in Java they have been put to use in some very powerful frameworks. However, they can also overly complicate code, lead to code bloat, produce slow and unproductive programmers. -- i.e. try to use them when they are appropriate, make your code more elegant and maintainable,
allow you to speed up your development process..... on and on and on... when it is good design to do so.
To that end I would like list some resources to learning how to use design patterns:
- www.oodesign.com -- I like this site, it is a nice general referance, has clear UML diagrams, code examples, and use cases.
- Do Factory Although it centerns on .Net languages this is a great resource for patterns and describes the patterns in UML and gives some example code and use cases.
- The Portland Patterns Repository -- I find this a hard place to find what I am looking for, but there is a good deal of information here.
- Patterns and Software: Essential Concepts and Terminology -- This is a great paper that covers the ideas behind design patterns.
- Design Patterns on Wikipedia -- This is a nice basic resource for information on many patterns. There are code examples in a number of languages.
- www.exciton.cs.rice.edu -- although this is mostly a Java resource they also have a C++ section and often talk about the differences between the patterns when applied on different platforms.
- Design Patterns @ FluffyCat.com -- the name is cute, and the code examples are in Java.
- Design Patterns @ Java Camp -- Nice java examples.
- The Design Patterns Java Companion -- Googled this one...
There are a number of books that should be considered when working with Design Patterns, the most important is:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
A really good java resource is:
Head First Design Patterns: This is a pretty good book for understanding what is going on with design patterns in java.
For EJB developers:
EJB Design Patterns @ TheServerSide.com A downloadable e-book. I have not read over it yet so I can't really comment.

Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme from Bermuda Onion where we share new (to us) words that we've encountered in our reading. If you want to play along, grab the button, and write a post.
My words this week are from Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness.
elocution – the skill of clear and expressive speech, esp. of distinct pronunciation and articulation.
"I would be happy to give you elocution lessons, Mistress Roydon."
prescient – having or showing knowledge of events before they take place.
"If you are so prescient, then you should have foreseen what your betrayal would mean to me."
crenellations – the battlements of a castle or other building.
"Smoke came from chimneys tucked out of sight behind the towers' crenellations, the jagged outlines suggesting that some crazed giant with pinking shears had trimmed every wall."
oubliette – a secret dungeon with access only through a trapdoor in its ceiling
"When she failed, Satu threw me into the oubliette."
hippocras – wine flavored with spices
"By the time the hippocras started flowing and a delicious nut brittle made with walnuts and honey was passed along the table, their commentary was downright ribald and Matthew's responses were just as barbed."


text: "Silos" is a segment from my series called "Dancing the River Highway." This is a dance interpretation of the landscapes and communities along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to St. Louis. It explores the connections of the people to their river lifeline, the responses of the dancers to the spaces and to the photographer's perspective. These silos are part of the Pillsbury complex in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The onset of the Unity of Man movement
The World Conference on Unity of Man commenced on 3 February, 1974 under the sponsorship of Sant Kirpal Singh and ended on 6 February, 1974. Religious, political and social leaders from all over India and some hundred delegates from all over the world, nearly from 30 countries, participated in the Conference.The Conference had an impressing start with a great procession with well over a hundred thousand men, women, and children from eighteen countries. Different races, nationalities and creeds marched side by side along the three and half miles distance on the main streets of Delhi to reach the venue of the Conference at Ramlila Grounds. Sant Kirpal Singh and the heads of the various religious formations walked in front followed by the delegations from various countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Columbia, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malta, Nigeria, Thailand, and the United States were all represented at the Conference.
From every point of view the World Conference on Unity of Man was a tremendous success. Over four hundred delegates from all parts of the world and two thousand from all over India participated in the deliberations. It was a unique performance, the first of its kind since the time of Ashoka, as Sant Kirpal Singh said.
The Conference split up into four Panel Conferences or seminars, in which different aspects of the idea of the unity of man were examined in depth. The four panels were as follows:
1. Unity of Man - One world
2. Current world problems affecting the unity of man
3. World harmony
4. The essential unity of all religions
Many prominent participants contributed to the open sessions and panel sessions with a speech. The religious leaders included: Nichidatsu Fuji – Buddhist leader from Japan; Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan – head of the International Order of the Sufis; Acharya Sri Tulsi Ji – Jain leader; Dr. Angelo Fernandes – Roman Catholic Archbishop of Delhi; Lama Kushak Bakula – Head Lama from Ladakh; Mufti Atquil Rehman – Muslim leader.
On 5th February, Indira Gandhi, at that time Prime Minister of India, participated with members of her cabinet to address the World Conference on Unity of Man. In addition, many other ministers of the Union of India, members of Parliament and state officials addressed the conference or took part in the panel discussions.
Beside the Conference there was a a free Kirpal homoeopathic dispensary and camp hospital set up at the Ramlila Grounds in Delhi. Dr Harbhajan Singh being a physican by profession served as a doctor of the medical staff during the conference.
This World Conference was the onset of the Unity of Man movement and has served as a model for the follow-up conferences until now.

Thanks Agotthelf. I've watched his videos before, but the problem we're experiencing isn't anything we can fix on our own. I'm sure we've all done many calibrations and I know that I, at least, have done an extensive calibration using tabcal with no improvement.
I called and spoke with tech support extensively.
First, they sent a replacement digitizer, to no effect.
Now I'm waiting on a new display.
I'll let you know what happens.
I have the same issue and it first I though it was working sometimes and not others. I just now realized its just a specific part of the panel. With the keyboard open the bottom right you can't touch the corner, it jumps all over the place, the top left works perfect up to the edge. When I go tablet mode with keyboard still facing me its now the top left of the panel. It will start moving faster than the pen. It seems to adjust a little if you calibrate in in laptop mode versus calibrating it in tablet mode.

***I'm using BIOS 1.11 because that is the version that has been unlocked for wifi whitelisting. I purchased the system with the Intel 6205 and found that it had CRAPPY reliability (all of my connections would be disconnected, but the system still showed the wifi as connected.. this happened every ~30 minutes). I ended up throwing in a Killer 1102N card and have had no problems since. Also, I've had this issue even with BIOS 1.16.. and none of the fixes that those BIOS updates fix really apply to me (haven't had major throttling/fan issues).
Has anyone had any further correspondence with Lenovo? Mine is going back to buy.com on Tuesday if not.

My machine will be arriving next week and this edge thing makes me nervous. Would really like to see some messaging from lenovo around this issue. Clearly if it is globally impacting, they would have observed it in QA... what gives?

Some people (like me) prefer not to report the issue as we would rather have a poorly functional machine than no machine at all. Notice all those who have called support in this thread have been asked to send their units in for "repairs" (which never solves the problem).
Does anyone not have this issue?

The Shield…
So one of the most painful moments in a American history has played itself out over the last few days. Today the families tried to grieve, as funeral processions began in Newtown. As if laying your child to rest for the very last time wasn't enough. Arguably the most classless organization in this country is promising to show up. Westboro Baptist Church…..
These folks are almost the equivalent of Christian Al Qaeda in my book. An extremist group with a twisted interpretation of the Bible who exploit media gatherings to get their message out there. They may not kill people (yet) but the methods they employ are nothing short of torture, especially to those in such a vulnerable state like the families of fallen soldiers or a town who's loss of 20 children made the world shutter. They are the perfect example for all that is flawed with the human race.
Luckily for us, we have people who stand against this type of extremist vision of the world. Tomorrow, a group of men and women will step forward much in the same fashion they did when their country asked them to stand up against Al Qaeda. The American Infidels MC and their supporters will be in Newtown doing their part to make sure not one family has to look at these excuses for human beings. I would urge anyone with the time and means to do exactly the same.

Hello, as I well demonstrate by my lack of appropriate lingo, I am very new.
But I have a question regarding wireless systems.
Would it be possible to create an interceptor using an LAN chord and say some combination of homemade antenna/circuitboard? By interceptor I mean something capable of taking in sattelite/wifi ect.
If so where might I find the appropriate literature regarding this concept?

from my sweet honey
When I meditated on the word guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. In dancing, when two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement does not flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person relaxes and lets the other person lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It is as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
When I saw "G," I thought of God, followed by "U" and "I" dance. God, you and I dance. This statement is what guidance means to me. I became willing to trust that I would receive guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
True love and relationship is like a dance. There is a rhythm and music along with a natural giving and receiving. When one surrenders and let's go, there is true union and oneness. There is unconditional love.
May you find such beauty and joy in your love and relationships.
May you see God in each other.
🙂 Lee
The MEGA Coach
To my sweet honey, my best friend, my wife and teacher, Happy 22nd Valentine's Day!
Thank you for a purple rose on that first Valentine's Day and twenty two years of joy and grace. Thank you for the honor and delight of dancing with you and God.

Convicted killer and former Charles Manson associate Bruce Davis was granted parole, officials from the state prison system said on Wednesday.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Board of Parole Hearings granted the order for Davis, 71.
Debra Tate, whose sister, actress Sharon Tate, was stabbed to death by Manson followers in 1969, said "today was a very bad day."
Kay Martley, the cousin of Gary Hinman, who was killed by Davis, spoke at the hearing.
"I think he's forgotten the terror and everything he brought to other people," Martley said. "I see an old man who says what he thinks we should hear."
Michael Beckman, Davis' attorney, said he thinks his client, if he is released, will return to Los Angeles County.
"I told the board, 'If he isn't the most rehabilitated inmate I've represented, he's the second most,'" Beckman said.
The decision was made during a parole consideration hearing at California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo.
The decision was the result of Davis' 28th parole suitability hearing.
The suitability finding is subject to a 120-day decision review period.
If the grant is finalized at the conclusion of decision review, the governor may conduct an independent review of the decision.
Under California law, the governor has 30 days to reverse, modify, affirm or decline to review the Board's decision.
Davis was sent to state prison on April 21, 1972, with a life sentence from Los Angeles County for two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and robbery.
He was convicted for the July 25, 1969, murder of Gary Hinman and the murder of Donald "Shorty" Shea sometime in August 1969.
Davis has been granted parole twice – in January 2010 and again in October 2012.
Davis' first parole grant was reversed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in June 2010.
Davis challenged the reversal in court, but it was upheld in 2012. Gov. Jerry Brown reversed Davis' second parole grant on March 1, 2013.

Maximo Mobile now available for Android devices
DavidHavican 0600028STS Comments (9) Visits (21514)
Maximo Mobile 7.5.1 has just recently been released and in addition to being supported on Windows and Windows Mobile devices, it can now be run on Android phones and tablets. This is great news for many clients who have had trouble finding mobile devices they are happy with. Android offers a number of options from ruggedized devices to phones and tablets. With this Android support, we can also support voice to text data entry, taking pictures with the camera and having them become attachments without having to leave the application and using the device's camera to scan bar codes.
One big advantage of Android is the performance the users will see on the device. Because modern Android devices come with much more memory and faster processors than typical Windows Mobile devices, the applications run much, much faster. The touch screens of Android devices also offer a much more user friendly experience than the small screens on Windows Mobile devices and the difficulty using their styluses.
In addition to support for Android, we have also added RFID support for Symbol Windows Mobile scanners and audit history support for Asset Auditing in the Mobile Asset Manager application. We also added the ability to automatically change the status of work orders to in progress and complete when you use the start/stop timer buttons. Labor assignments can also now be managed on the device so the user can re-assign and un-assign work that they are not able to perform.
If you are already using Maximo Mobile, you should seriously consider upgrading to Maximo 22.214.171.124 so you can take advantage of these benefits. If you are thinking about introducing Mobile into your organization, this new Android release will knock your socks off.

The most streamlined process for moving a WordPress site that I have seen. Upgraded from an older GoDaddy hosting plan because GoDaddy called me and advised they could save me money. They did save my company a few hundred dollars. The new Managed WordPress Hosting made migration very simple. The transfer was done within an hour. Thanks!

GoDaddy has always been extremely helpful in helping me get my websites up and running. The Managed WordPress product has been the absolutely clutch, as I no longer have to maintain backups or worry about updates that may impact my sites' performance.
Nick Engberg -Marketing Contractor
I usually bring my clients to WP Engine for hosting, but now that I have used GoDaddy's Managed WordPress hosting with its great UI and one-click migration, I'll be bringing my clients to GoDaddy for a fraction of the annual fee.
I recently moved my email and websites to GoDaddy. I have contacted support on several occasions due to my lack of knowledge of Outlook 365 and Managed WordPress. Both chat and phone support were able to resolve my issues quickly.

I'm Celeste Headlee and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Michel Martin is away. Coming up, for many people, a big part of the American dream is buying your own home, but homeownership rates in the U.S. are at their lowest point in almost 20 years. We'll find out what's behind that and what it could mean going forward, just ahead.
But first, it's Veterans Day, and we want to spend some time talking about the women who've served in our military. According to the Pentagon, more than 1.8 million American women are veterans, and more than 200,000 women are currently on active duty. Being a woman in the service has its rewards, and it has its challenges. We're joined now by two women veterans who devote themselves to helping those who follow in their footsteps. Graciela Tiscareno-Sato is a former Air Force captain and author of a bilingual children's book called "Good Night Captain Mama." And also with us is Miyoko Hikiji. She's a former Army specialist and author of "All I Could Be: My Story as a Woman Warrior in Iraq." Welcome to both of you.
GRACIELA TISCARENO-SATO: Thank you.
MIYOKO HIKIJI: Happy to be part of this.
HEADLEE: So, Miyoko, you were in Iraq as a supply guard, and you were a truck driver. Graciela was up in the air. You were very much on the ground. And I understand that, in fact, the work that you do now was inspired by a tragic event that happened while you were in Iraq. Could you tell me what happened and how that, I guess, changed your perspective?
HIKIJI: Well, I think losing two unit members - someone who was close to me in my squad and another unit member that I was a friend with - really made me think about what it was that I was going to do to preserve their memory and to immortalize their stories so that they weren't just going to be a blip in the news for a day, but they were going to be a living legacy for their families. And so that was something that I wanted that was kind of the catalyst for writing my story.
HEADLEE: What do you think - are there differences in the challenges for either a mother or a father who is serving in the military?
HIKIJI: I really think it depends on the sort of partnership that you have in your marriage. I think in a lot of cases, the woman still plays the role of the primary caregiver, and so it's more difficult for her to maintain her military career and support her husband's career and be a mom. Those are some big roles. But I think in a partnership where you can really bounce back and forth and depending on where you're stationed at and what your job duties are, it really is possible to be a successful military family if you have a pretty good support network.
HEADLEE: And, Graciela, I mean, both of you work with helping to support military families. And as I understand it, part of the reason for that is you both feel that the resources aren't entirely sufficient yet. There's not quite enough support for military families. Your book is bilingual because you wanted to specifically help Latino military families, right?
TISCARENO-SATO: It was very important for me, first, for children who are born in the United States to Spanish-speaking parents, like I was, who are growing up bilingual, to be able to enjoy this unique story in the home, in the school, in the language of their choice, so that they can see women, you know, Latinas in their community in a different light. And so that's really one of the reasons I wanted it to be in Spanish is to say Latinas are veterans, too, mommies are veterans, too, and to do it in the first language that I learned to communicate with. And certainly, for me, it's about role modeling. It's about the little five-year-old girl last week in an elementary school who pulled on my sleeve at the end of the assembly and said in Spanish, I want to fly airplanes like you did.
HEADLEE: If you're just joining us on this Veterans Day, we're discussing the challenges for women in the military with two veterans - Miyoko Hikiji, a former Army specialist, and former Air Force captain, Graciela Tiscareno-Sato. Miyoko, I'm well aware, as any journalist is, of some of the reporting that's been done - the Congressional hearings about sexual harassment in the military, the lack of prosecution, I guess, of violators and the lack of resources, for the most part, mostly women who are either harassed or even assaulted in the military. How do you address that when you're talking to a girl who might want to go into the armed services? What do you say to her?
HIKIJI: You know, you really have to follow your heart. If it's something that you believe in, you really have a desire to serve, I would never tell someone that that wasn't their right. But I do caution people that there isn't a laundry list of things that you can do to either prepare yourself or to prevent assault because really sexual assault in the military is about the perpetrator committing a crime. And I think it leads to further, you know, victim blaming and victimization for us to say, well, if you do this, if you walk in a battle buddy system, if you don't go out at night, if you don't drink beer etc., those things don't prevent rape. I think what we need to do is really look at prosecuting rape cases, getting rape perpetrators out of the military. That is really the only way to solve the problem. There is really not a preventive measure that's going to take care of it at the level that we have right now in the service.
HEADLEE: And, Graciela, there's other challenges for women in the military. There's a lot of complaints that they're not promoted or that they're passed over for promotion. This also became an issue during these sexual harassment hearings on Congress when we saw that image of all the military brass sitting at the table to talk about sexual assault, and they were all males. Are we starting to make any kind of progress in terms of getting women into higher ranks?
TISCARENO-SATO: You know, power doesn't yield power without a fight, right? And so those who are in power are going to want to stay there. But, you know, let me offer you an example of a positive that I saw when I was flying. When I was one of a handful of women flying up in Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington, we had five flight squadrons. Three of them were actually commanded by women pilots by the time I left the service. So in terms of promotion, it's happening more and more in the operational world, and by that I mean in the Air Force, where the airplanes are. So it really depends on where you look in the military. I don't think this is a comment that can really be generalized. What are we talking about? Operational flying squadrons are very different than Miyoko's experience, which is very different than someone in the Navy.
HEADLEE: Well, then let me ask you the same question, Miyoko, because you're a former Army specialist, and you were a truck driver, and you couldn't be more on the ground. What did you see in terms of promotions for women, especially getting into the high levels, the high brass?
HIKIJI: I think there's still a brass ceiling there, and I think lifting the combat exclusion policy in the spring is going to change a little bit of that because part of what allows a woman to rise in the ranks, especially in roles like in combat units, is being able to serve in a combat unit in that role rightfully hers. And once you have that experience, that really raises your visibility as far as making those higher command positions.
TISCARENO-SATO: Can I add to that?
HEADLEE: Of course.
TISCARENO-SATO: You just made exactly the point that I was saying because the ground combat exclusion is what you're talking about, Miyoko. And in the Air Force and in the other services, they lifted the combat exclusion for women in terms of aircraft operations back in 1993. So that happened a year and a half after I finished flight school. And so because they lifted the combat exclusion for aircraft, we had those women that became those commanders that I just mentioned. They were allowed to rise in the ranks and become commanders because that combat exclusion had been lifted.
HEADLEE: So, Miyoko, we're talking about this brass ceiling, which to a certain extent means that there's people up above that are not always treating both genders equally. But what about the people who are either your equal or of lower rank? Is it the case that women have trouble leading people in the armed services or getting people to follow orders with respect?
HIKIJI: You know, there's really a variety of cases. Usually when I speak, there are women who come up to me and talk to me about a sexual assault case, almost about 100 percent of the time.
HEADLEE: Wow.
HIKIJI: So I do know that it's pervasive. I do know that it exists in most of the branches and in most of the job positions, but there are good stories out there. And some of those just aren't things that we hear, and they're just not things that we focus on. But it's definitely a command culture. So it really depends on the commander of the unit and what it is that they instill in their platoon leaders and their platoon sergeants, all the way down to the squad level. And when you have a great commander who understands diversity, understands leadership, understands gender roles and can integrate the training and how that functions in a combat zone, I see a lot of great things happen.
And I think that's why the commanders of all the branches came together in the spring and said, we need to lift the combat exclusion because they all had experiences with women who were literally serving in combat, but supposedly excluded from that role on paper. And they saw how well they were performing. So I think there's a lot of good things happening on the ground, but of course, with what it is that we know and what it is that I've seen, there's still a long way to go.
HEADLEE: So, Graciela, if your kids - one of your kids grows up - your daughter - and says, I want to go into the armed services, what advice - I assume that you'll fully support that, but what advice will you give her on how to survive and to thrive?
TISCARENO-SATO: It'll be very much what I say now as I speak to kids of all ages, you know, middle school and high school, as well. And that is to share the amazing knowledge I was given from my high school counselor's husband, to pursue a scholarship and have the military pay for education before you serve. That's what I did. I had an Air Force ROTC scholarship and I never would have known about it if I hadn't had this counselor with a husband who had received that scholarship and who invited me to her house to learn about it.
So what I would tell my daughter would be to get your education first, whether you get the scholarship or not, and while you're doing that, you can get exposed to many different careers that you might want to pursue in the military. And then, of course, I would encourage her to go Air Force. That's my bias. And then I would fully support her. And then in terms of how to conduct herself, you know, as an excellent person and as a person that earns the respect of those she is commanding and those who she is following. And it would be the advice I would give to anybody that is positioned to become a great leader.
HEADLEE: And, Miyoko, same for you? You'd support your kids going into the services?
HIKIJI: I certainly would, and I think one thing that I would want for my daughters, whether they served in uniform or not, is to really have a strong sense of self. Young people go in, and they make young people mistakes. I ended up in a combat unit as a noncombat soldier, so there were 125 men for every three or four women. And I think when you're about in your, you know, late teens and early 20s, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made if you're not prepared. So having a strong sense of self, writing down your dating rules, your sexual morals and what it is that you are going to approach relationships - share it with a battle sister, and then stick to your guns.
I think you need to be proactive about having a plan before you get into those situations because you're going to end up in an emotionally intense and physically rigorous environment with a lot of single, tall, dark and tattooed. And I think it's very easy to fall into the wrong vein if you're not prepared ahead of time.
HEADLEE: Miyoko Hikiji. Great advice from a former Army specialist and author of the book "All I Could Be: My Story as a Woman Warrior in Iraq." She joined us from Iowa Public Radio in Des Moines. And also great advice from Graciela Tsicareno-Sato, former Air Force captain, author of the book "Good Night Captain Mama." She joined us from Berkeley, California. Happy Veterans Day, and thank you so much to both of you.
TISCARENO-SATO: Thank you for the honor today, Celeste.
HIKIJI: Thank you.

Will girl's transplant hurt system?
The campaign to move a dying 10-year-old onto the waiting list for adult lungs has succeeded: Wednesday afternoon Sarah Murnaghan underwent transplant surgery in Philadelphia and she has a good chance at a longer life.
What may never be known is who may have suffered in her stead. When one person moves up an organ transplant waiting list, another person may move down.
Story Continued Below
If all goes well, the young cystic fibrosis patient will get a fresh start on childhood, able to spend time with friends, play sports and do other normal kid things, Samuel Goldfarb, her doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said during a court hearing last week.
( Also on POLITICO: Sarah Murnaghan gets new lungs)
But as everyone hopes for the best for Sarah and her family, the match comes after a media campaign, a lawsuit and a federal court order, not to mention pressure from lawmakers on HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to personally intervene on behalf of a single child. It has experts from the transplant community worried about a precedent with the potential to open up the system to tampering from the outside. And that could begin chipping away at the careful framework set up to fairly distribute donated organs, the most precious — and scarce — resources in the health care system.
"If the distribution of organs becomes subject to the success of individual publicity campaigns, with organs going to those who hire the best PR firms and lawyers, who on the waiting list would remain confident that their priority would be decided on the merits?" Daniel Wikler, a medical ethics expert at Harvard, said in an email. "And who would agree to donate organs to a system supposedly based on rational, humane, and fair selection criteria but that would actually be determined by the assets of the highest bidder?"
He noted that if one person gets moved up on the list and others drop down, it must be justified.
In a highly unusual move that sent a shockwave through the transplant community, a federal judge last week ordered Sarah Murnaghan and Javier Acosta, 11, onto the adult waiting list, suspending a rule that effectively bans children under 12 from receiving adult lungs.
Instead, young children are first in line to receive organs from donors around their age, which is often preferable because they are a better fit for their chest cavities. But pediatric donors are even rarer than adults.
( QUIZ: Do you know Kathleen Sebelius?)
Sebelius had declined to intervene in the case other than to order a review of the policy by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, the nation's transplant system.
And on Monday night, the executive committee of OPTN decided at an emergency meeting to conduct a yearlong review of the process but to immediately allow for case-by-case exceptions to the "Under 12" rule after review by a panel of experts.
Sen. Pat Toomey, who has repeatedly pressed Sebelius to override the rule set by the transplant community, welcomed the news that a donor had been found.

Talk about a challenge. In 2005, Vogue Magazine posed this to Annie Leibovitz: take the Wizard of Oz, one of history's most important films. Recreate the iconic scenes, but add your own personal, touch. Looking at the photo story as a whole, I have to say Annie nailed it. Crushed it, actually (it certainly didn't hurt to have Keira Knightley at her disposal). Google the story. Each image is more beautiful than the next. This shot of Dorothy, Auntie Em and Uncle Henry rushing to shelter captures the cinematic feel while adding Annie's modern sensibility. It was created with one light and the help of the sun.
Camera: Mamiya RZ67 with 50mm lens and Kodak Portra 400NC film, handheld 15 feet back. Shot at 1/60, f16, ISO 400.
Lighting: To mimic a gloomy, tornado-laden day, Annie underexposed the shot by two stops. The key light is a large Octabank at f8 set high and 12 feet to camera left. The sun at f8 is high in the sky and slightly to camera right. This adds fill and some flatness to the image. Two large wind machines are out of frame to camera right aimed head-high adding to the stormy feel. Though a stickler for realism, Annie did not wait for an actual tornado to touch down. The background was added in post.
Comments: The cute puppy, though a dead wringer for Toto, wasn't the most obedient pooch. While the rest of the talent moved toward the shelter doors, he ran in the opposite direction. Usually chasing a vagrant squirrel or his own tail. After numerous failed attempts, the prop stylist replaced him with a taxidermied fox. The dogs features were retouched in in post.

Teen shot trying to sneak into wrong home after night of drinking, parents say
STERLING, Va. – A Virginia couple says their teenage son was fatally shot when he mistakenly entered a neighbor's home after a night of drinking.
Shawn and Jennea Gordley remembered their 16-year-old son Caleb on Tuesday as a lover of music and sports. Both parents say they forgive the person who shot their son and do not blame that individual for what happened.
Police say Caleb was fatally shot early Sunday after entering a neighbor's home through a back window.
Shawn Gordley says his son snuck out of the house Saturday night and went drinking with friends. They walked home from the party. Caleb went in through a back window, mistaking the neighbor's house for his own. Caleb had lived in his home for less than a year, and the houses look similar.
