Very confused, Had a dr. remove a growth on my scrotum which had been there for over 2 year, Im 58 yr, old male, married for 35 yrs, told me he was doing biopsy on it. I was real concerned about cancer and now he came back and said I have HPV. First of all I have been with no one else since college days (many sexual partners, and a bachelor party contact 20 years ago) I have been reading about HPV and trying to figure out how long I could have had it. I did shave my pubic hair approx 2 yrs and that is when I noticed it My wife has given me a oral at least one a week, and we have had intercouse approx 6 times in the last yr. I am so confused as to how it is spread, a condom will not cover my balls, is it in the semen, can the dr who did the biospy tell me what kind I have or not?? My wife gets a pap smear every yr and they have told her no problems I know I am the only one she has had sexual intercourse with. I went through a very stressful business situation 2 years ago, and was wondering if stress could cause a wart to develop. I am so confused and my dr. did not give me any good answers except biophy showed HPV, and that was all he said. I was really there to get something to help get a firmer erection for intercouse and he was trying me out on those type of medications when he noticed the growth (I had shown my famil dr it some time ago, and he said no problem) and said he could remove it for as a simple out patient. Now I am being told I have HPV, and just cant find answers to all of my question on the internet. Help.
It is possible you've had HPV for quite some time, perhaps even dating back to your college days. It is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. It is not transmitted via semen. Stress does not cause HPV genital warts. The laboratory that has the biopsy specimen should be able to determine what type of HPV you have. I'll post below some information about HPV from the archives.
Good luck.

Thanks and question about HPV (HPV, 2009) Jun 20, 2009
Dr. Bob. I would like to thank you for being so compassive with all people that ask questions. I am a 49 year old man from Mexico City. I had several encounters with different ladies in a massage parlor. There was neither penetrative vaginal, anal or oral sex. The most I did was fingering one of these ladies. However, I developed a terrible fear of having got HIV. I started reading your forum and 97 days after the last encounter with these ladies and 5 months after the fingering I was tested for HIV 1 and 2 with a MEIA test. The result came out negative. I continued being very anxious, so I looked for psicotherapy and was put also on zoloft (50 mg every day). The Dr. diagnosed OCD. I continued reading your forum and gradually feeling better. However, an urologist recommended me to test for HPV because he said masturbation from an infected lady could transmit the HPV virus. I did it and unfortunately I got HPV 16, is that possible? I labeled all this with my wife, as you always suggest and thanks God she has been very supportive. I am 98% sure now that with these practices and the test after almost 14 weeks of the last encounter I could not get HIV, as you say no way, no how. Nonetheless I am worried about passing the HPV 16 to my wife. The urologist has suggested a treatment with interferon alpha, what do you think about that?. Is that chemotherapy? I fear possible side effects. Dr. Bob I want also to thank you because I know you are a great pianist. I wanted to play the piano since I was a kid. Nonetheless at that time there was not money at home and it was much more difficult to get a cheap keyboard. When I was in my twenties a friend told me that I could not play the piano because I was very old. At 48, one year ago, I decided to buy a keyboard and I started playing and guess what I can play at least simple things. I probably never will play Chopin or List but what I am playing makes me happy, so you have been also a great inspiration in that respect. Thanks a lot. Just a last question, for the remaining 2% doubt of HIV, can I definitely WOO HOO? Muchas gracias querido amigo Alex
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Alex,
Your negative HIV-1/2 test at five months is definitive and conclusive. So you can certainly WOO-HOO as far as HIV is concerned.
HPV, however, is another story. HPV is much easier to get than HIV. You can contract HPV merely with skin-to-skin contact. So it looks like it's BOO-HOO as far as HPV is concerned. However, between HIV and HPV, you certainly would rather have HPV! There are a number of effective treatments available depending on the severity and location of the genital warts. I'll reprint below some information from the archives that discusses HPV and its treatment.
Good luck Alex.
Dr. Bob
i ve already asked a question for HPV Jun 15, 2009
hello doctor,
please refer me somewhere else if its not right to be here: viral load : not exist CD4:375
well i am diagnosed positive there are 5 years old. good health though. my main problem are the genital warts inside my arse. is there any chance for people with HIV to get rid of HPV SYMPTOMS?
there is some treatment i am doing every 3 months but there still some.
i would like to get rid of them permantly. is there any chance?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Genital warts (from HPV) can be difficult to eradicate when the immune system is compromised. However, aggressive and persistent treatment by an HIV-knowledgeable colorectal surgeon is usually effective. I'll reprint below some information about HPV. I realize genital warts are a "pain in the ass" literally and figuratively, but I'd strongly recommend you continue your treatments. You could also consider a second opinion just to see if more aggressive treatment might be warranted.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
March 14, 2009
NOTE: In the U.S., counseling and referrals are available on a national human papillomavirus (HPV) hotline. Call toll-free at 877-HPV-5868 (877-478-5868.)
What Is HPV?
There are over 100 viruses known as human papilloma virus (HPV.) They are common. One study found HPV in 77% of HIV-positive women. HPV is transmitted easily during sexual activity. It is estimated that 50% of all sexually active people get at least one type of HPV infection. Some types of HPV cause common warts of the hands or feet. Infections of the hands and feet are usually not transmitted through sexual activity. Several types of HPV cause genital warts on the penis, vagina, and rectum. Those with HIV can get worse sores in the rectum and cervical areas. HPV can also cause problems in the mouth or on the tongue or lips. Other types of HPV can cause abnormal cell growth known as dysplasia. Dysplasia can develop into anal cancer in men and women, or cervical cancer, or cancer of the penis.
Dysplasia around the anus is called anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is the development of new abnormal cells in the lining of the anus. Dysplasia in the cervical region is called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). AIN or CIN appear to be more common in people with HIV infection than those who are HIV negative.
How Is HPV Detected?
Many people have HPV infections but don't know it. HPV can go away without causing any problems. To detect HPV, health care providers look first for the problems HPVs cause: dysplasia or genital warts. A Pap test (or smear) is used to check a woman's cervix. It can also be used to check the anus of men and women. They are smeared on a glass slide or mixed into liquid and examined under a microscope. The cells are examined for abnormalities that may indicate abnormal cell changes, such as dysplasia or cervical cancer.
In 2009 the FDA approved two tests that use the sample collected by a Pap test. These tests look for types of HPV that are linked to health problems.
Dysplasia can be detected by Pap smears.
Some researchers believe that anal and cervical smears should be checked each year for people with elevated risk:
People who have had receptive anal intercourse Women who have had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Anyone with under 500 CD4 cells. However, other researchers think that careful physical examination can detect as many cases of anal cancer as anal Pap testing.
Genital warts can appear anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after you are exposed to HPV. The warts might look like small bumps. Sometimes they are fleshy and look like small cauliflowers. They can get bigger over time.
Your health care provider can usually tell if you have genital warts by looking at them. Sometimes a tool called an anoscope is used to look at the anal area. If necessary, a sample of the suspected wart will be cut off and examined under a microscope. This is called a biopsy.
Genital warts are not caused by the same HPV that causes cancer. However, if you have warts, you may have also been exposed to other types of HPV that could cause cancer.
Can HPV Infection Be Prevented?
There is no easy way to tell if someone is infected with an HPV. People who don't have any signs or symptoms of HPV infection can transmit the infection.
Condoms do not totally prevent transmission of HPVs. HPVs can be transmitted by direct contact with infected areas that aren't covered by a condom. Men and women with HIV who are sexually active may want to have a regular Pap smear, anal and/or vaginal, to check for abnormal cells or early signs of warts. A positive result can be followed up to see if treatment is needed.
A vaccine called Gardasil was approved in 2006. However, it has not been tested in or approved for people already infected with HPV. For more information on vaccination against HPV, see www.immunize.org/vis/hpv.pdf.
How Are HPV Infections Treated?
There is no direct treatment for HPV infection. Some people "clear" an HPV infection (are "cured"). They can later be infected with HPV again. However, dysplasias and warts can be removed. There are several ways to do this:
Burning them with an electric needle (electrocautery) or a laser Freezing them with liquid nitrogen Cutting them out Treating them with chemicals Other, less common treatments for warts include the drugs 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) and Interferon-alpha. A new drug, imiquimod (Aldara), has been approved for treatment of genital warts. Cidofovir (Vistide), originally developed to fight cytomegalovirus (CMV), might also help fight HPV.
HPV infection can last for a long time, especially in people who are HIV-positive. Dysplasia and warts can return. They should be treated as soon as they are found to reduce the chances of the problem spreading or returning.
The Bottom Line
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) are fairly common. Different types of HPV cause warts or abnormal cell growth (dysplasia) in or near the anus or cervix. This abnormal cell growth can result in cervical or anal cancer. Genital HPV infections are transmitted through sexual activity.
HPV infection can last a long time, especially in people with HIV.
A Pap smear can detect abnormal cell growth in the cervix. It can also be used to check the anus of men and women. Although Pap smears may be the best way to detect early cervical cancer, careful physical examination may be the best way to detect anal cancers.
The signs of HPV infection -- warts or dysplasia -- should be treated as soon as they show up. Otherwise, the problem could spread and be more likely to return after treatment.

City council plans talks about Columbia fire station renovations
COLUMBIA - The Columbia City Council is planning renovations for Columbia fire stations #4, #5, and #6, as well as the the fire training academy.
The council will vote Monday to schedule a public hearing for June 5, 2017.
The renovations of the three fire stations would include things such as a new roof, remodeling the existing bathroom, adding new plumbing and installing a water softener system.
As for the fire training academy, the proposed renovations include remodeling all the classroom spaces, remodeling both bathrooms, and adding a stand alone building for trucks and storage.
Assistant Fire Chief Brad Fraizer said the three stations are the oldest in Columbia, and need new amenities.
"That's places that our firefighters call home for a large portion of time so we want them to be as comfortable as possible," Fraizer said. "But in addition, more importantly, to be up to current standards. They need a facelift."
In January, the city council authorized the city manager to create an architectural design agreement for the stations and academy with Archimages, Inc.
Fraizer said the fire department hopes the renovations will be completed by the end of 2017.

After taking careful consideration of the conditions in the Andover workhouse by studying the sources provided and conducting further research into the conditions in this workhouse and other workhouses I have concluded that,
Extracts from this document...
Andover Workhouse 1) Source A is not very useful for a local study of the Andover workhouse. This is because source A is about national developments in the poor law, ie it gives general information on the changes to rules and regulations set by the Poor Law Amendment Act in 1834. These rules describe how the poor were to be dealt with nationally, although these are the same rules that the Board of Guardians of the Andover workhouse were given to follow, they do not describe how the Board of Guardians interpreted these rules. Using the information in the source one can see what the general structure at Andover was like, 'the rate-payers were to elect a Board of Guardians who were to supervise the work of the officials and see that the new regulation were carried out.' The Andover Workhouse is not mentioned at all in the source, no particular information is given as to how the commissioners treated a plea from an able bodied man, how well Andover's board of guardians supervised the implementation of the new laws or anything else of the sort. A person could make use of this source if they were investigating the workhouse of Andover by comparing the way the Andover workhouse was run or any other information specific to this workhouse with the general rules set and use the general rules as a point of reference. ...read more.
He himself did not eat the meat off the bones or the marrow in them because he had a weak stomach. Although he complained of severe hunger, he was still not hungry enough to ignore the stench, and the idea of eating raw meat to resort to doing so. This could mean that, although some of the other inmates, who no doubt had stronger stomachs, regularly ate meat off the bones they would have survived even if they had not done so. This does not mean that the conditions in the Andover workhouse are justified but at the same time the pauper in source G shows that the actually not so bad that the inmates had no choice but to eat the meat off the bones. If that was the case then I would have expected most, if not all, of the survivors from the workhouse to have resorted to raw meat. "The official ration in HM Prisons was 292 ounces of food a week. The workhouse diet was between 137 and 182 ounces a week only."2 Once these figures are considered, one would not be surprised if eating meat off the bones was common practice in workhouses where bone crushing was practised. However, it is not possible to generalise because the other workhouses had not been investigated as thoroughly. I believe that if conditions in other workhouses were thoroughly investigated there would have been evidence of people eating raw meat and marrow there too. ...read more.
Even though this visitor was a doctor, and was no doubt able to form an accurate assessment of a person's health from appearance, I question whether he went beyond the board room and whether he was only shown carefully chosen inmates. In the Huddersfield workhouse there were many complaints made by the medical officer and eventually causing the workhouse to be investigated by its overseers in 1848. The investigation revealed that the 'sick poor' were shamefully neglected, they were forced to remain in extremely unhygienic conditions so much so that they were covered in their own excrement, they were not given necessary medicines even after continuous requests by the medical officer, extremely crowded dormitories and there were many complaints about the diet of the establishment being extremely insufficient4. These reports resulted in another scandal. After taking careful consideration of the conditions in the Andover workhouse by studying the sources provided and conducting further research into the conditions in this workhouse and other workhouses I have concluded that, the conditions suffered by the poor in the Andover workhouse were indeed very harsh, but they were typical of other workhouses of that time. This was due to the government's insistence on the practice of less eligibility and their refusal to allow outdoor relief, all of which was to reduce the cost of looking after the country's poor. There were many workhouses at that time and the conditions at the workhouse of Andover were definitely amongst the worst but apparently not the worst. 1 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/ 2 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/ 3 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/ 4 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/Huddersfield/Huddersfield.shtml ?? ?? ?? ?? ...read more.

A mental breakdown, also known as a nervous breakdown, is a mental disorder that can plague you for a short amount of time when you're dealing with too much stress. Some of the symptoms are similar to depression, anxiety, and dissociation. Many times, sufferers of a mental breakdown are unable to function on a daily basis until their breakdown has been resolved.
If you've been dealing with a lot of stress lately, it might be time for you to take it easy. Learn to manage your stress with an online class, or read up on being stress free in the modern age with this article. Worried that you're headed for a mental breakdown? Check out this list of ten signs, and decide for yourself. Be sure to voice your concerns with a mental health professional before taking any kind of stress-reducing or anxiety medication.
Your Mind Wanders
If you've begun to lose focus and concentration, it could be a sign that you're far too stressed. Everyone loses concentration from time to time, but if you find you've gone for weeks at a time with no way to focus on your tasks, it's time to speak to your therapist. You might also consider meditation for stress, and you can learn how to meditate with an online class. There are a number of benefits to meditating when you're unable to focus.
Meditation can give you an overall feeling of calm, peace, and balance. Even when you stop meditating, the effects linger on throughout your day. Meditation can help you regain focus on the present, giving you the opportunity to return to the tasks at hand. Daily meditation will help your brain handle stress easier as well.
Your Mind Has Turned Violent
People daydream now and then about doing violent things to their bosses or themselves when things get tough. If you're starting to fantasize about such violent things on a nearly daily basis, it could be a strong sign that you're headed for a mental breakdown. A mental health professional will be able to better help you relieve the violent thoughts, but if you need some relief now, try one of the three tips below.
Think about them on purpose and consider why you might be having that thought. What is stressing you so much that you consider violence against yourself or others? Another idea is to write them down so they are taken out of your mind and placed in a permanent location.
Writing them down tends to help people forget them, and they become less likely to return. If you're worried someone might find your writings, you can burn them so that the thoughts are gone for good. You can also try distracting your mind, but your best bet for full relief of violent thoughts is to handle the stress bringing them up.
You're Suddenly the Most Negative Person in the Group
Negative comments will escape into conversation from time to time, but it can become a real problem if you're suddenly the most negative person in your group. If you start refusing any social plans, always complain about one thing or another, or even start aggressively criticizing your friends and acquaintances, you may just be headed for a mental breakdown.
Think before you speak, and try some stress-relieving techniques to get those negative thoughts and comments to go away. Consider a class in restorative yoga, or do a little bit of meditation. If you don't want to do whatever it is your friends are suggesting, why not suggest something you'd prefer to do instead?
An Increase or Decrease in Appetite
Stress eating is a real thing, and so is a lack of appetite because of stress. People who are depressed frequently have no appetite, and depression is another symptom of a mental breakdown. If you suddenly find yourself at the McDonald's drive through every day because of a tough day, you may very well be stress eating. Take a class to stop stress-eating. If you can't remember when the last time you ate was, you may have a lack of appetite from stress.
A Sudden Increase in Alcohol
People who are over-stressed also have a tendency to abuse alcohol. A single glass of wine at dinner is pretty common and shouldn't throw up any warning signs, but if that single class suddenly becomes a single bottle, you might want to consider seeing a mental health professional. An increase in drinking isn't just a sign that you might be headed toward a mental break; it can make the problem that much worse.
Your Personal Appearance Has Been Tossed to the Back Burner
You used to shower every night and pick out the perfect outfit for the office. Your morning routine used to involve getting up thirty minutes before you needed to leave for work just so you could make sure every hair was in place. Now, you wake up in enough time to grab some breakfast, toss on whatever's cleanest, and head out the door.
Poor hygiene and a lack of interest in your personal appearance is a big sign that you're slipping down the slope toward a mental break. Sure, people get lazy now and then, but when that laziness turns into a simple lack of caring, there's bigger concerns than just laziness. Your best bet for combating appearance issues is to just get back into your usual morning routine. Therapy can also help, so be sure to talk to a mental health professional.
A Sudden Lack of Organization
There are organized people, and then there are disorganized people. More often than not, even those people that are viewed as disorganized by the organized ones are actually organized in their own way. However, if your system of organization begins to fail to the point that you're losing important documents, it could be a sign that your mental state is falling.
Isolating Yourself
People who are stressed don't want to be in social situations because they can add to their stress levels. However, isolating yourself will only cause people to start isolating you. It's okay to back out of a social situation now and then, but if you start saying no to every invitation, you likely have a problem that's more than just social anxiety or shyness. Withdrawing into yourself will only increase your problems, and you'll have a harder time finding the mental help you need.
Feeling a Constant Pressure or Nagging Sensation
Stress is normal, and a feeling of pressure is too. You should only be concerned when the stress rises to levels beyond what you're used to, and that feeling of pressure should abate instead of sticking around all day, every day. If you always have a nagging sensation that you're about to explode, it's a sign that your body is trying to tell you something.
The human body has built-in warning signs, and you should learn to listen to yours. If you feel like you're going to explode, see a mental health professional, or try some relaxing techniques. Even exercise can help lower the stress hormones. Always try natural remedies to lower your stress levels before turning to medications.
Sabotaging Yourself
This particular sign goes beyond just causing yourself physical harm. A sudden interest in risky behavior or throwing yourself into dangerous situations can be a big sign that you need help. If you're worried about talking to a mental health professional, find a family member or friend that you can trust, and tell them about your concerns for your own well being. Charge that friend or family member with encouraging you to find safer activities to do. If you're still self-sabotaging, definitely talk to a mental health professional. No stress is worth risking your life.
You Don't Have to Fight it Alone
Many people believe that stress is just something that needs to be handled on their own. However, that's not true. You can easily relieve some of your stress by delegating professional and personal tasks to people that can do them. Are you usually the one that gets dinner ready at night, but you're feeling a little extra tense? Ask one of your older children or even your partner to take over dinner preparations, and take some time for yourself.
Never shut out your family if you notice any of the above signs or symptoms in yourself. Your family can help you find the proper help, or they can help you with relieving some of it right at home. Just keep your family in the loop, and you will feel better for it later when you need them.

The software and technology industry is entering an exciting era. According to Forbes Magazine, the Technology Services sector is on track this year to see a net margin profit increase of more than 1.5% over 2015. In their annual study on the most profitable industries, Forbes found that exponential growth in Technology Services spurred the category to overtake the Finance market to become the second most profitable major industry behind Health Technology. Despite this success, the software and technology industry is now facing a critical problem: Customer loyalty.
Tech Industry Faces Customer Loyalty Crisis
A recent benchmarking report published by Net Promoter, which scores businesses on customer experience, recently gave the Software & Apps industry an extremely low Average NPSⓇ score of 19. A score at this level indicates that 81% of customers are at risk of leaving their current provider due to neutral or negative interactions, according to the Harvard Business Journal. By comparison, Department & Specialty Stores received a score of 58 and Cable/Satellite TV Service were given a score of 3.
A Harvard Business Review study of a leading pay television provider showed that a complex and disconnected customer experience created a negative impression. The case study revealed that the TV provider's customers were generally satisfied at the beginning of their relationship, but that satisfaction level dropped more than 40% over the course of the journey. What happened?
Most interactions were positive and issue resolution was adequate, however, as HBR describes: "the underlying problems were avoidable, the fundamental causes went unaddressed, and the cumulative effect on the customer was decidedly negative." How does a company sustain so much growth and profitability, but allow customer satisfaction to remain at such a low level?

I've heard from so many of you that you love this What I wear Wednesday feature, so I'm bringing it back…every once in a while.
Sometimes, I get the hankerin' to coordinate with my girls when we go to church…you know…as if we are going to do a little photo shoot or something;) It's always on my mind…I found my leopard print heels at Ross a while back, and wasn't sure I could pull them off, but I always say that if you like something enough, anyone can pull it off (if only in our own minds). When my daughter reminded me that someone gave her a leopard print skirt, we went for the coordination. Little one just jumped into the color scheme.
I took pictures for the High School tennis team the other day, and wore my KDP shirt. About 2 years ago, I uploaded my logo to customizedgirl.com and made a few t-shirts to wear out when I shoot. That way I don't have to think about what to wear–easy uniform!
Same jeans below with an Old Navy sweater and 2 year old payless shoes. Oh, and the hat…it comes off and on throughout the day, so I thought I'd show both. I caught a little wind in that left shot. Thanks to my 11 year old photographer.
A few days ago, I got my hair trimmed and thought I'd take a before and after. It had been months, and it was becoming unruly. I am blessed with a thick head of hair, I actually have it thinned out some, because I can get headaches it's so heavy…especially now that it's long. So my before…not so "done" and the after that my hair gal made all fancy. I generally can't re-create what they do, but I think I can maybe do this…
My top is from Kohl's a few months ago (the pink part is sheer, white shirt underneath), jeans from I can't remember, Shoes from Forever 21 about a year ago.
Below was my attempt to mimmick the hairstyle 2 days later…decent? I got the top sweater, shirt, belt from Charming Charlie's a month ago. Can you see my pink feather earrings? My heels are gray, but it's hard to tell from this picture.

Pelvic ultrasound
Pelvic ultrasound is usually the initial modality for imaging gynecologic pathology, including acute pelvic pain and chronic pelvic pain. The exam normally involves two components: a transabdominal (TA) evaluation and a transvaginal (TV) / endovaginal (EV) evaluation.
On this page:
Normal ultrasound anatomy
(see: uterus)
- consists of endometrium, junctional zone, and myometrium
- the appearance of the endometrium depends on which part of a woman's menstrual cycle she is in, and can vary from 2-15 mm
- the endometrium normally has a three-layer appearance at midcycle, but is usually more homogeneous later
- the junctional zone may be difficult to detect on ultrasound
- the uterus is normally tilted toward the anterior abdominal wall (anteverted)
- if the uterus is enlarged, the transabdominal exam may be needed to evaluate the full size
- the ovaries also vary in size with the menstrual cycle
- due to varying sizes of follicles
- nulliparous: 9 mL maximum volume
- parous: 15 mL maximum volume
- a dominant follicle in the ovaries reaches 20-25 mm diameter at maturity
- do not call an anechoic ovarian structure a "cyst" in a premenopausal woman unless it is >30 mm
- the dominant follicle becomes the corpus luteum
- fallopian tubes are not normally seen on ultrasound, unless dilated or surrounded by free pelvic fluid
Pelvic ultrasound usually includes two components:
- transabdominal (TA) evaluation
- transvaginal (TV) evaluation
- some prefer the term "endovaginal" (EV)
The transabdominal component is always performed first. The transvaginal component is performed second and, because of the higher resolution of the transvaginal probe, is usually very helpful for an evaluation of the pelvic structures.
Despite the usefulness of the transvaginal exam, it may not be performed if:
- the patient does not want it
- the patient has never had sexual intercourse (virgo intacta)
- pediatric patient
Transabdominal exam
A mid-low frequency transducer (e.g. up to 5 MHz) is usually used. A full bladder is used as an acoustic window to achieve better imaging of the uterus and adnexa.
The transabdominal exam is used for a general overview of the pelvis, and may be necessary in some situations in order to image the entirety of some pelvic pathologies.
Transvaginal/endovaginal exam
A mid-high frequency probe (e.g. >7 MHz) is usually used. The bladder is emptied before the exam. The higher frequency allows a better spatial resolution and Doppler evaluation of the pelvis.
Practical points
- mural nodularity can be missed in large cystic lesions, make sure to carefully evaluate the entire wall
- if there is trouble determining which organ a mass is arising from, a bimanual technique can be used in which the mass is imaged while the two organs are manually pushed in different directions
- if the mass moves with an organ, it arises from the organ
- if the mass slides past an organ, it arises from the adjacent organ
- if the uterus is retroverted, consider endometriosis

A friend of mine told me on the weekend that she and her husband had started trying to get pregnant with their first child.
"I'm not making that common knowledge though", she added, after I'd expressed my excitement.
"It's going to drive me insane if it takes a long time to get pregnant and people keep asking me 'are you pregnant yet? Are you pregnant yet?' "
Wise words, I would venture to say, since as I think you would agree, any pregnancy, or anticipated pregnancy, seems to attract a unwanted torrent of unsolicited remarks even from the most unlikely sources.
After this conversation with my friend, I reflected on some of the comments people had made to me during my two pregnancies. These aren't things that I think about often, but I can't honestly say that they didn't shock me a bit at the time. I've also heard quite a few friends tell me of ridiculous remarks people have made during their pregnancies too. So I've come to the conclusion that it's official: pregnancy attracts foot in mouth disease.
With that in mind, I thought I'd share with you a smattering of some of the comments I received during my own pregnancies:
These little gems came my way when I was pregnant with my son ...
* "Wow! You're big for 5 months!" (This one came from a girl I worked with at the time who was in her early twenties and had never given birth. I'm still unsure why she thought she was the authority on pregnancy)
* "Have you still got 10 weeks to go? I thought you must have been about to pop!"
* "It must be the pregnancy hormones that are making your skin so bad."
And I couldn't possibly forget these either ...
* When I was about ten weeks pregnant, I went into a dress shop to buy a ball gown to wear to a function run by my husband's work. I just wanted to browse and try some things on by myself, but the lady in the shop was very insistant that she wanted to help. So I gave in and described to her what I was looking for. "I don't want it to be too tight though", I told her, "because I'm pregnant". Her plastered smile instantly dropped off her face, she touched my arm and said "Oh my God". Looking back I can't actually believe I went ahead and bought a dress from that shop, but it wasn't a big city and there weren't many other options. I thought later that maybe she thought I'd come in to buy a dress for a school ball. Even so, I hope she has since changed career as customer service clearly was not her forte!
* I was a third year uni student at the time and one day when I was about seven months pregnant, I was walking across campus to get to a lecture. I passed by two girls who I had never seen before. As I walked past them one of them muttered, softly but quiet loud enough and clearly intended for me to hear: "slut". And no, I'm not joking (although I think this fits into the category of 'downright nasty', rather than foot in mouth).
Here are the pearls of wisdom that came while I was pregant with my daughter 8 years later ...
* "I can't believe you're going back to the baby stage again after all that time!"
* "How come you waited so long to have number two?"
* "I didn't think you were going to have any more children". (I can't remember how I responded to this one, but I'm sure what I would like to have said would have been along the lines of "Really? And what exactly gave you that impression??")
* "You shouldn't be working if you're pregnant" (this one came from a reprobate adolescent who I used to teach - or at least tried to. I will forgive him though due to his tender age).
Needless to say, I was gobsmacked. I'm still mystified as to her motivation for asking me that. My partner was with me during the birth and my records showed that I already had another child. Plus, the baby was already born so I really did have to ask myself exactly how useful that question was on a scale of one to utterly useless!
Ah, but I suppose all these things prepare us for the onslaught of unwanted opinion that punctuates the rest of our journeys through motherhood: the debate between breast or bottle, co-sleeping or cot, private or public schools, the speculation over the right time to introduce solids and toilet training and all our choices regarding anything from dummies* to discipline to daycare.
Lucky kids are so darn cute, isn't it?
* that's pacifiers, for my American friends :)
Did anyone say any rude or ridiculous things to you or someone you know during pregnancy?

About Us
Kollaboration is an Asian and Pacific Islander (API) organization and Movement that was founded in 2000 by Executive Director Paul "PK" Kim. Under the guidance of Executive Producer Roy Choi, Kollaboration became officially incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in January of 2006 and became an Asian and Pacific Islander organization. Previously it focused on the Korean American community. Kollaboration is an annual event and movement produced by young Asian and Pacific Islander professionals and students, dedicating their time and skills to celebrate and showcase the vast talents of their community by bringing them into light of mainstream media. It is evident that APIs are often categorized into a certain image. APIs may find it increasingly difficult to get jobs outside the "model minority" or "foreigner" role. Such barriers often result in the lack of APIs in mainstream entertainment industries. Thus, APIs are not only unfairly portrayed but also disproportionately underrepresented in those industries, especially in popular media.
Empowerment Through Entertainment.
Kollaboration's current mission and mantra is, "Empowerment through Entertainment." In addition to encouraging the diverse talents of API youth, Kollaboration seeks to empower
(1) API youth by providing them with a creative outlet and leadership training that serves as an alternative to gang-activity and delinquency for those at-risk.
(2) API families by offering a platform for communication that bridges the gap between 1st generation parents and latter generation youth.
(3) the API community at large, by raising awareness for other critical community issues and NGOs.
Evidently, our youth are left with few visible role models and a narrowed pool of aspirations.
Through generous sponsorship, Kollaboration endeavors to bring about a paradigm shift of perceptions and to pave the way for future APIs to accomplish their goals and dreams that may be entertainment related.
In contrast to our mission statement of "Empowerment Through Entertainment," the ultimate vision for Kollaboration is "Entertainment Through Empowerment," envisioning a future when our organization represents a movement of innovative and creative artistry with all races and ethnicities.
In response to the movement began by the original Kollaboration in Los Angeles and continuing the national spread of the call to action, metropolitan DC Asian-American and Pacific Islander professionals and students came together in 2010 to raise the banner and call our local AAPI talent to come show our community the diverse talent and amazing abilities and gain their support in raising the prominence of AAPI performing arts. Kollaboration DC was founded by Elliot Lee and Christian Oh, and is now an annual event and a movement by a group of dedicated and multi-talented Asian-American and Pacific Islander professionals and students, who volunteer their time and skills to celebrate the vast talents of their community and bring them into the mainstream.
- To discover and nurture local Asian-American and Pacific Islander talent, to showcase their talents on stage to the DC community, and to inspire the next generation.
- To bridge the cultural gap between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Asians and educate the youth about our culture about the possibilities of a career in the arts.
- To replace negative stereotypes of Asian-American and Pacific Islanders with positive images of expression through proactive creativity.
- To define our own unique community identity rather than having it defined for us through mass media.
- To elevate the level of talent in the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities in the DC metro area through friendly competition and a professional atmosphere.

The Fresh Air Fund
Living in Massachusetts many of us grew up playing tag in the front yard, swimming in our backyards, riding bicycles down our street and more summertime activities. However, not every child is as fortunate as us and did not grow up living in suburban neighborhoods. I came across an article on Masslive that caught my attention. It is about the "Fresh Air Fund", something I have never heard of and thought was a great cause to blog about. The Fresh Air Fund is an...Read More »

In order to use the Integrations Platform APIs (currently this includes the Timeline API, Webhook API and CRM Extensions API), you'll need to sign up for a HubSpot developer account and create a new application. If you don't already have a developer account, you can sign up for an account directly at the developers signup page.
For most use cases, we assume that only OAuth'd apps have access to user portals. That implies that objects created with these APIs (like Timeline Events) won't show on user portals until your app is OAuth'd on their portals.
While you're setting up your Timeline Events, Webhooks or CRM Extensions (or future APIs) you can use the developer HAPIkey, found by clicking the Get HAPIkey button in your Developer Dashboard.
The Integration Platform APIs use a different authentication type for setup. In addition to being able to set up the integration through the UI from the details for your app, you can also set up the the integration using your Developer HAPIkey, which you can find by clicking the Get HAPIkey button at the top of the Apps dashboard inside your developer portal. Note: Your Developer HAPIkey can only be used to update the settings for the platform APIs for your apps. It cannot be used to access data in your developer or test portals.
As an example for the Timeline API, you would use the Developer HAPIkey to create the event type, and set up the event properties. After the event is set up, you would use the access_token you'd get from the OAuth flow to create an event on the timeline of a contact.
Once you have a developer account and an application created and setup, you'll need to implement our OAuth flow in order for HubSpot users to grant your app access to their portals. See our OAuth documentation for how to do this.

1910 - 1930s
C.V. York purchased the interest of the Cobb brothers in 1910 and moved the business to Raleigh. York Construction Company subsequently built many of the capital city's landmarks, including Memorial Auditorium, Capital Apartments (the first multi-story housing in the city), the Sir Walter Hotel the North Carolina State University Bell Tower and several classroom buildings.
In 1910, C.V. York founded the York Construction Company in Raleigh, North Carolina where it has become an integral part of the development of the community. C.V. got his start with the company, York and Cobb of Greenville, North Carolina, which began making its mark on our state in the early 1900s, by breaking ground on the first five buildings of East Carolina Teachers College (now East Carolina University).
1940 - 1970s
J. Willie York, son of founder C.V. York, developed the first shopping center in the Southeast in 1949. With its tree-lined walks and one–of–a–kind boutiques and restaurants, Cameron Village remains a premier Triangle destination. York Properties has managed Triangle area real estate ever since, a credential unmatched by any other company. Willie was also instrumental in the expansion of Raleigh-Durham International Airport and chaired the State Board of Conservation and Development under Governor Dan Moore. As a member of the Raleigh Board of Education, Willie made the motion to desegregate the school system in 1960.
1980 - 2000s
Smedes York, board chairman of York Properties, has continued his father Willie's legacy of putting clients and community first. Among his numerous leadership roles, Smedes served on the City Council and two terms as the mayor of Raleigh, and he is a past chairman of the RDU Airport Authority and North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry. In addition to leading York Properties, he is also the board chairman of Prudential York Simpson Underwood (residential real estate) and McDonald York Building Company (commercial construction).
2010 – current
In 2010, the organization celebrated 100 years in business. While the fundamental purpose of the business has not changed, the company has changed in many ways including expanding services and growing in new geographic markets. Our impact on the communities in which we live and work has been significant, and we continue to look for new ways to provide outstanding service to our clients and to make a difference. Smedes' son George is following in the York tradition of business and community leadership. He is President of York Properties and a board member of McDonald York Building Company. He is past president of the Triangle Commercial Association of Realtors and serves on the boards of Southlight, Interact, the Rex Hospital Corporate Council and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance. Through his leadership the company is poised to tackle new challenges and embrace new opportunities

Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)

See Bottlenose Dolphins and much more in Cornwall with Orca Sea Safaris.
We have a resident pod of this species in Cornwall. There are about 10 of them and they inhabit the sheltered inshore waters along the coastline. The sweeping sheltered bays such as Falmouth bay and Veryan bay, where we travel to on our Sea Safaris, provide perfect feeding habitat for the Bottlenose Dolphins. They are perhaps the most well known cetacean species, as they are often used in marine parks and in research facilities.
How to identify this species:
A pod of bottlenose will sometimes coordinate their feeding and work together to capture fish, but also hunt individually. They also sometimes fish around human fishing activity to capture any escapees from the net. Like all dolphin species, bottlenose use echolocation to search for prey. It is a bit like sonar, where they send out a series of clicks and interpret the echo that comes back to them. They can determine how far away prey is located and how big it might be, for example how large the school of fish is.
Threats and Conservation:
This species is not currently considered endangered, due to its abundance and adaptability. However they frequently come into contact with human fishing activities as one of their favourite foods is tuna. This does lead to a high incidence of by-catch as the majority of tuna fisheries use purse seiners, which encircle the tuna and anything else that is in the vicinity. This has lead to the 'dolphin safe' label on tuna products that do not endanger dolphins.
The photos on this page are of 'Georges'. He is a solitary dolphin who comes to visit Falmouth harbour every now and then. He is not attached to a pod of other dolphins and as they are such sociable creatures, he enjoys the company of people and boats so he doesn't get too lonely! You can see how close he comes to our boat by the quality of our photos!
