In our continuing effort to promote the best and brightest discussion on news articles and features, we are testing a new voting system on comments. It's an experiment—we built the system with the minimum number of features to launch with, and if readers take to it, we may very well expand it to do more. Here is how it works:
Users who are logged in will see a vote count on each post, in parentheses, with up/down buttons for voting. The arrows will change colors based on whether or not you have voted (at present you are able to change your vote). Eventually, posts that cross a certain threshold will receive special treatment. We have yet to determine what those thresholds will be, but we envision highlighting posts with a good number of upvotes, and minimizing and ultimately collapsing posts with an excessive number of downvotes. We also hope to eventually use this to enable readers to quickly see the best comments (by vote).
We go into this knowing it will be a controversial move. Ultimately, this is more about highlighting great posts rather than punishing crappy posts. This is one reason why we introduced the "ignore" feature before rolling this out. In an ideal world, the trolls and the whiners would just be ignored, and everyone would move on. But we hope that the voting system will help improve the overall quality of comments. We have considered at length the rather typical rejoinder to voting systems such as this, namely that it creates an echo chamber. We are willing to take that risk.
We believe most of our readers are highly intelligent (and very passionate) technologists. The overwhelming majority are able to disagree and criticize one another, and our work, without resorting to insults, hyperbole, or other childish behavior. This move is not about the small number of recalcitrant trolls who inhabit our comment system. It's about the discussion, and our strong desire to see it grow in quality for you, and to grow in usefulness for us. On this latter point, I will simply say the following: each and every one of our writers and editors deeply desires intelligent and useful feedback and criticism.
It is our hope that the voting system will lead commenters to consider how others might receive their feedback, and that this should lead to stronger comments overall. It should also greatly cut down on the number of "me too" posts, since it is now possible to simply vote up a comment that you agree with. In the end, we decided to move forward with this experiment because we thought some degree of inter-commenter responsibility would improve our discussions.
We know some readers will absolutely hate this, while others will find it a long-overdue improvement. As with most changes, we will give it some time before assessing, and we will likely have a poll in the coming weeks to try to quantify some of your responses. In the meantime, we encourage you to try it out, make suggestions, and have patience. We will keep you updated on significant changes and tweaks we make to the system.

Welcome to my Sunday mornings. For me it is the only day where I can lie in bed for as long as I wish, have a leisurely breakfast and treat myself or my guests royally. Why not serve up this classic Dutch Baby with fresh from the farmers market picked blackberries, some slices of Canadian bacon and a steamy cup of coffee.
Known as the "Cabernet" of berries for their earthy wine-like taste blackberries are a favourite here on the west coast. They grow wild prolifically on every roadside and for those brave enough and armed with long sleeved shirts and pants you will be able to keep your neighbourhood supplied with delicious, plump berries throughout the season. Sadly I live in the interior in a desert oasis so rely upon these brave souls to truck them into our farmers markets. They come at a premium price but are so worth it!!!
Blackberries are similar to raspberries with some of the same nutritional values and health benefits including antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. The blackberry family, a member of the rose family, are "aggregate fruits" that are composed of many individual fruits called drupelets. Blackberries can also be called "bramble berry" or "bramble raspberry" and have numerous (and very sharp) short curved spines.
Bramble is the common name for the plant on which the blackberry fruit grows, not the name of the fruit itself and takes me back to my childhood with one of my favourite series The Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem. I loved exploring the miniature world of the hedgerow and meeting the families of mice that live there through this series of books almost as much as I loved to visit Narnia with C.S. Lewis. The mice had such adventures including a midsummer mouse wedding, a wonderful surprise birthday picnic party, a scary mountain exploration, and the biggest celebration of all – the Ice Palace Ball!
Blackberries have risen in culinary prowess here in the West with the fame of the Marionberry, a species of blackberry cultivated south of here in Oregon's Willamette Valley (Marion County). They have exceptional aroma and taste which makes them highly prized by chefs and home cooks alike.
I have also recently discovered that blackberries are for women only. Sorry you guys out there, if indeed any men read this blog, when your significant other makes a delicious no-bake cheesecake topped with blackberries you will need to back away. I am of course only kidding because I don't want to eat this delicious German-inspired pancake in today's post all by myself! I recently read that blackberries have recently been recognized as a leading source of compounds thought to produce health benefits for women, due to their high concentrations of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens, literally "plant estrogens", have been of interest to the scientific community because of their possible role in prevention of both breast and cervical cancer. These compounds act as a natural form of estrogen. Studies indicate that blackberries may contain some of the highest levels of phytoestrogens. So eat those blackberries ladies whether you find them frozen, in jam or au naturel.
The perfect foile for my blackberries was to make a comforting breakfast treat... a Dutch Baby, sometimes called a German pancake It is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire pudding and derived from the German Apfelpfannkuchen. This dish won me over years ago not only because of its great name, but also because it puffs up to great heights while cooking. What a presentation it makes!!!!This pancake is not as sweet as other pancakes so is traditionally served with lemon juice and icing (powdered) sugar. That is nice but I wanted to use those delicious blackberries discovered at the farmers market over the weekend. I had some blackberry honey which I drizzled on top as well.
Makes 2 to 4 servings:
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup sifted bread flour or all-purpose flour*
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 teaspoons butter
Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Powdered (confectioners') sugar
1 container blackberries
Honey for drizzling
*Bread flour is a high-protein flour. The high protein helps the pancake rise. All-purpose flour may be substituted but the results won't be as spectacular.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. NOTE: It is very important that you preheat your oven. Place oven rack on the middle rack of your oven. Place a large, heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast-iron skillet (I like to use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet), in the oven until hot and sizzling. While pan is heating, prepare your batter.
NOTE: Use a shallow pan, not more than 3 inches deep (pie pans, cast-iron skillets, oven-proof fry pans, baking dishes, paella pans). Like I said before, I prefer using a cast-iron skillet or pan because it acts as a heat reservoir, retaining the heat and distributing it evenly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a blender until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy.
Using a pot holder, remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the butter; tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the skillet.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven.
Bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges - it may puff irregularly in the center).
Remove from oven and serve immediately. Either bring the pancake to the table in its pan or slide it onto a serving plate. Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate.
To serve, cut into serving-size wedges and transfer to individual serving plates. Top with blackberries, drizzle with warm honey and serve immediately. Or for a a classic German Pancake/Dutch Baby, sprinkle with freshly squeezed lemon juice, and dust the top with powdered sugar.
Topping Ideas:
Sifted powdered (confectioners) sugar
Fresh applesauce with a dash of cinnamon
Whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries
Syrups (maple, your favorite fruit syrup, or honey)
NOTE: If you have different sizes of pans adjust your batter accordingly.
Pan Size Butter Eggs Milk and Flour
2-3 qt. ¼ cup 3 ¾ cup each
3-4 qt. 1/3 cup 4 1 cup each
4-4½ qt ½ cup 5 1¼ cups each
4½-5 qt ½ cup 6 1½ cups each

Extreme torture, kidnapping detailed in affidavit
A young disabled man escaped his home where, according to police, he was tortured, abused and locked up.
Court documents lay out many intricate details of incidents over the course of several years, in which, police say Rebecca S. Beyer, of Council Bluffs, deprived the 20-year-old of living essentials, including food and a bathroom, as well as forcing him to sleep while standing.
KETV-TV reports the 20-year-old told police that Beyer restrained him inside a garage with a dog leash and chains, sometimes overnight.
The documents state the 20-year-old ran away from home on Feb. 19 and was found wearing little clothing outside a gas station by people who took him to the Joshua House -- a men's emergency shelter that serves homeless people in the area.
According to the official complaint, the 20-year-old told a worker at the Joshua House that he was not being fed and that he was being burned with hot silverware by his stepmother. He later told police that these were the only utensils he was allowed to use when eating.
A police officer following up on the abuse report from the Joshua House said he noted multiple burn marks on the 20-year-old, including along his left forearm, inner thighs and groin area.
The 20-year-old told police that his stepmother would heat up a fork and spoon on the stove, pull his pants down and burn him when she was angry with him.
Court documents said the 20-year-old told police and other officials that he was also being physically assaulted by his father, James Beyer Jr., 41, and that his parents had threatened to kill him.
The 20-year-old reported that, at one point, Rebecca Beyer pulled a handgun from under her mattress and held it to his head, acting as if she was pulling the trigger.
A forensic examination of the 20-year-old confirmed the burn marks found on him were consistent with an object that could have been a fork or spoon. But when confronted with the allegations, police said James and Rebecca Beyer denied the claims, saying they had never seen the marks before and attributed them to a lack of cleanliness or athlete's foot.
Police also noted a burn mark on the 20-year-old's lower back that appeared to be "consistent with the size and shape of a standard clothes iron." The 20-year-old told police he was unsure what caused the mark because he did not see it, but it felt "too big to be a fork or spoon."
The 20-year-old described one incident to police in which Rebecca Beyer told him that she was going to torture him. Court documents state that she gave him a choice from three boxes of objects, including a "club with spikes on it," a "Chinese sword" and a handgun.
The 20-year-old told police he had been burned by his stepmother and assaulted by his father two days before he ran away. He said his father hit him with a thin piece of wood, knocked him to the ground, kicked him in the chest and choked him until he couldn't breathe.
The report states that as Rebecca Beyer was smacking and punching him in the face, she called for her son, Ryan Smith, 22, to help her chain him up.
The 20-year-old said Smith only verbally threatened him, but said he had physically assaulted him in the past, including once on his birthday, which resulted in injuries that went untreated.
According to court documents, investigators said after obtaining a search warrant, they took the 20-year-old to the home to quickly identify specific objects he had mentioned to police.
Detectives said they found the dog leash near the garage door, almost directly above the area the 20-year-old said he had been chained to.
Also found, according to court documents, were what "appeared to be a homemade restraint made of hardware chain that could easily be padlocked;" a 5-gallon bucket that the 20-year-old said he had been forced to use as a toilet; a spoon with burnt residue on it found on the kitchen counter; and boxes that contained a club covered with sharp spikes and a sword cane.
When investigators executed the search warrant in March, they asked Rebecca Beyer if she would be interested in a polygraph test, but she refused.
James and Rebecca Beyer and Smith -- the people who were receiving the 20-year-old's Social Security disability checks until at least the beginning of April -- were arrested Wednesday morning, and they're being held at the Pottawattamie County Jail.
Rebecca Beyer is charged with first-degree kidnapping and willful injury causing serious injury. James Beyer Jr. and Smith are charged with first-degree kidnapping. Authorities said the charges surround the alleged abuse occurring over the two days before the 20-year-old ran away from home.
Bail has been set at $100,000 for each of the accused, and a bond review hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
Their next court date is set for July 1.
Prosecutors said the alleged victim is now safe and receiving his disability benefits.

School drops sexual harassment claim against 6-year-old who kissed girl
A Colorado school that had been widely criticized for suspending a 6-year-old boy for kissing a girl on the hand has dropped its sexual harassment claim against the first grader, and allowed him to return to school.
The superintendent of Canon City Schools decided to drop the sexual harassment claim Wednesday after meeting with the parents of Hunter Yelton, KRDO reports. The Dec. 4 incident is now being classified as misconduct.
Yelton's mother, Jennifer Saunders, said her son had an "innocent crush" on the girl and kissed her on the hand during a reading group.
But the mother of the girl, Jade Masters-Ownbey, said that Hunter had tried to kiss her daughter "over and over" without her permission, and that she supported the suspension.
"Not once, but over and over," Masters-Ownbey wrote on Facebook. "Not with her permission but sneaking up on her."
"I've had to coach her about what to do when you don't want someone touching you," she told the Canon City Daily Record. "But they won't stop."
Hunter already had received an in-school suspension for kissing the same girl.
Saunders said she understood the most recent suspension, but that the sexual harassment label was unwarranted.
"This is taking it to an extreme that doesn't need to be met with a 6-year-old," Saunders told KRDO. "Now my son's asking questions, 'What is sex, mommy?'"
The school district initially defended the sexual harassment charge, saying it expressly prohibits "unwelcome touching, such as patting, pinching or repeated brushing against another's body."
"Our main interest in this is having the behavior stop," Canon City Schools Superintendent Robin Gooldy told HLN Tuesday. "Because the story is not just about the student that was disciplined, it is also about the student receiving the unwanted advances."
"Our job as a school is to basically maintain a safe learning environment for all children in the school," Tammy DeWolfe, the school principal, told the local paper. "And that's certainly what we're trying to do here."
Gooldy added that it was "strictly a school discipline issue," law enforcement was not involved and that no criminal charges had been filed.

The Roos family is a digitization and expansion of the last typeface designed by Sjoerd Hendrik De Roos, called De Roos Romein (and Cursief). It was designed and produced during the years of the second World War, and unveiled in the summer of 1947 to celebrate De Roos's 70th birthday. In 1948, the first fonts produced were used for a special edition of the Dutch Constitution on which Juliana took the oath during her inauguration as the Queen of the Netherlands. To this day this typeface is widely regarded as De Roos's best design, with one of the most beautiful italics ever drawn.
In contrast with all his previous roman faces, which were based on the Jenson model, De Roos's last type recalls the letter forms of the Renaissance, specifically those of Claude Garamont from around 1530, but with a much refined and elegant treatment, with stems sloping towards the ascending, slightly cupped serifs, a tall and distinguished lowercase, and an economic width that really shines in the spectacular italic, which harmonizes extremely well with its roman partner.
The Roos family contains romans, italics and small caps in regular, semibold and display weights, as well as a magnificent set of initial caps. All the fonts contain extended language support, surpassing the usual Western Latin codepages to include characters for Central and Eastern European languages, as well as Baltic, Celtic/Welsh, Esperanto, Maltese, and Turkish.

Best Stock Market Indicator Ever Plunges!
Written by Syndicated Publisher No Comments
November 12, 2012
The $OEXA200R Monthly (the percentage of S&P 100 stocks above their 200 DMA) is a technical indicator available on StockCharts.com used to find the "sweet spot" time period in the market when you have the best chance of making money. See Is This the Best Stock Market Indicator Ever? for a discussion of this technical tool.
The charts below are current through Friday's close.
Daily OEXA200R past 12 months
Monthly OEXA200R since April 2007
The OEXA200R closed the week down 10 points at 59%.
Of the three secondary indicators:
- MACD is NEGATIVE (black line below red).
- Slow STO is NEGATIVE (black line below red).
- RSI is is NEGATIVE (below 50).
(I only display the three secondary indicators for the monthly chart since they are less subject to short term "jitters" than the daily.)
Based on this analysis system, the current market conditions are un-tradable. It's time to relax and watch the political dance near the edge of the Fiscal Cliff. Can we waltz around it without falling off?
Background on How I Use This Indicator
The OEXA200R is a valuable metric used to accurately assess the state of the market in order to make profitable trading decisions. That is, whether we are in a bull, a bear or transitioning from one to the other, as well as market volatility and risk within each of those situations. Historically, it has also given traders a clear early warning signal of impending serious market downturns and later safe re-entry points. While not intended as a day trading tool per se it can certainly be used as background information by day or highly speculative traders. Simply put, the OEXA200R gives traders the ability to identify the most opportune conditions within which to execute their various long, short or hold strategies.
Following a major market correction, the conditions for safe re-entry are when:
a) Daily $OEXA200R rises above 65%
And two of the following three also occur:
b) RSI rises over 50
c) MACD black line rises above red line
d) Slow STO black line rises over 50 and is also above red line
Without the solid foundational support of two out of three secondary indicators it is unsafe to trade even if OEXA200R edges above the 65% line. Once two turn positive, the market is considered safely tradable as long as OEXA200R remains above 65%. Volatility and risk for long traders are relatively low. The trend is on their side.
When Daily OEXA200R drops to 65% it is taken as the conservative signal to exit all long positions, sit on the sidelines with your cash and wait for some clarity before proceeding. Volatility and risk increase substantially. Since 2007, this has usually been a "tipping point" condition presaging a major market drop.
If the OEXA200R does not rebound but remains below 65%, how to proceed depends on the overall trend of the market, the macro-picture. During the cyclical bull of 2003 to 2007, the market was still safely tradable with OEXA200R in the 50% to 65% zone because there was enough upwelling lift in the S&P at that time to minimize the chance of a sharp, significant market downturn.
The problem is that we can by no means confidently compare our present situation to that of 2003 – 2007. There is no strong, steady wind pointing the market weathervane in one direction, it is being buffeted by swirls and gusts in unpredictable ways. To better understand this, take a look at the charts below, in particular the overall trend of the OEXA200R during the 2003 – 2007 cyclical bull compared to the trend from 2007 to present.
The S&P chart indicates that for the past five years we have not had a steady upwelling trend in the market comparable to 2003 – 2007. Absent that underlying support, the OEXA200R has undergone significant gyrations since 2007 and is ominously exhibiting a trend of lower highs. The MACD for OEXA200R has also been trending lower overall. Notice that S&P volume has experienced a steady decline since 2009, another classic Bear indicator.
Since 2007, every time the OEXA200R has stumbled below the 65% line it has not rebounded but continued to fall along with the S&P. For that reason, trading the 50% to 65% zone in our current economic situation is going to be volatile and ambiguous at best. Since there will be much more downside than upside potential it will be especially risky for long traders.
If the OEXA200R drops below the 50% line we regain clarity as to the market's direction. That will be the unambiguous signal to exit any remaining long positions immediately in expectation of a serious, imminent market decline. Conversely, it will also be the clear signal to go short to take advantage of that sharp decline.
In my opinion, the most significant indicator of where we stand today is the fact that the market is above both its 140 year historical trend line and the trend line for the secular bear that began in 2000. These are the marco-forces that will gravitationally pull the market back into equilibrium at some point in the near future, likely beginning in late 2012 to 2013. Add to that any number of catalytic world events which could exacerbate such a correction. QE has been a countervailing force to recent market slides but, realistically, Fed Chair Bernanke can only feed the market so many cans of QE Red Bull before it eventually crashes.
How far will the market drop? QE3 might save the day once again, temporarily. But in light of the factors mentioned above, it should come as no surprise if in 2013 – 2014 we end up experiencing a market event worse than that of 2008 – 2009. Luckily, OEXA200R should give us ample advance warning of the next major correction however we want to trade it. Buckle up!
Note: Stockcharts.com offers free access to the $OEXA200R indicator on a daily and weekly basis. The monthly view requires a subscription. Stockcharts allows users the option to download the last two years of indicator data. Unfortunately, I have not found a source for longer-term $OEXA200R data for performance back testing. Meanwhile, here is a link to a chart that gives a better look at the correlation between the $OEXA200R and the S&P 500 over the past decade.

My first career was a faculty position at North Carolina State University, where I achieved the rank of Full Professor in 1983. During the early '80s I got hooked on academic uses of microcomputers for research and instruction. In 1983, I co-directed the Sixth International Conference on Computers and the Humanities. An IBM executive who attended the conference made me a job offer I couldn't refuse.
Thus began my new career as a Higher Education Consultant for IBM — an ambassador for Information Technology to major universities around the country. After 12 years with Big Blue, I grew tired of the constant travel and left for a series of IT management positions in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. I concluded my IT career managing the group responsible for email and research databases at GlaxoSmithKline until my retirement in 2006.Contrary to what many visitors assume based on my last name, I'm not a bearish short seller.

Here is a couple things to note before your purchase:
- As of Fall 2020 we began the process of transitioning our inventory from having tags at the neck to having that same information printed on the garment. We are unable to guarantee which version you receive as it depends on how quickly inventory sells through. As we want you to love every piece of Kyte BABY you receive please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions or concerns once your order arrives.
- Our most recent batch of 2.5 TOG items are more compressed than previous productions. These products are not defective and are the same weight/warmth as all 2.5 TOGs. They may, however, feel thinner or slightly different than previous batches, due to this compression difference.
- As of Fall 2021 we began adding fold-over mittens in sizes Preemie to 0-3 months on some of our long sleeve apparel. In an effort to reduce waste we will continue to sell the original versions without the fold-over mittens. We are unable to guarantee which version you receive as it depends on how quickly inventory sells through. As we want you to love every piece of Kyte BABY you receive please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions or concerns once your order arrives.
-Colors may vary from how they appear on computer/smartphone screen.
- We succeeded in creating the softest possible fabric for your little ones, and we do our best to preserve that same softness on our prints. Due to the nature of the printing process, our prints have a slightly different feel. The rule of thumb to follow is: the less printing there is, the softer the fabric will be. If you are disappointed with the items, please don't hesitate to let us know, and we will gladly create an exchange or return for you.
To maintain the quality and feel of your bamboo clothing we recommend the following wash instructions:
- Cold water

- With like fabrics (bamboo only)
- Layette should be washed inside out, zipped/buttoned up to decrease pilling
- Sleep bags should NOT be washed inside out, but should be zipped up completely to protect the inner quilting
Kyte BABY does not recommend using the dryer. We recommend hanging or laying flat to dry. Open your sleep bags completely and point a fan towards them to help drying time indoors.
When washing any of your baby's clothes, think less is more. We recommend avoiding care products that contain harsh chemicals, additives, optical brighteners, and bleach.

While our furry friends love to join us for car rides, it's important to make sure we are protecting them while they are in vehicles. These items can help keep your pet safe in the car:
Backseat hammock: If your dog tries to jump into the front seat of the car, or likes to sit on the floor or crawl under seats, a backseat hammock might be a good choice. The hammocks usually attach to the front and rear headrests of the car. This will keep your dog in the backseat and off of the floor.
Booster seats: If your small dog wants to sit in the front seat of your car, a booster seat might be a good option. This seat will allow your small dog to look out the window while still being safely restrained in the seat.
Vehicle restraint harness: One variation of a vehicle restraint harness, the Roadie, was developed by a man after he and his dog were in a car accident. This harness attaches to a vehicle's seat belt and includes a built-in short walking leash. It fits around the dog's shoulders and clavicle.
Vehicle partitions: If you're taking your dog on a longer road trip, you might want to consider a vehicle partition. Designed for larger cars like SUVs, partitions will allow your dog to have his or her own space in the car.
Window vents: Does your dog love to feel the wind in its face? To give your dog the feel of air blowing through their fur without risking their safety by having the window rolled down, a window vent can keep them securely inside.

Police & Fire: February 1, 2013
Drunk driving
Sault Police report stopping a vehicle near the intersection of E. Easterday and Carrie early today after observing it speeding and traveling the local roads in an erratic fashion. A subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of the driver, David J. Leask for operating while intoxicated.
Leask was also cited for driving while license revoked and no operators license before being booked into the Chippewa County Jail.

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies report the arrest of Sarah Houghton, 20, of the Sault Thursday on an outstanding warrant out of the 91st District Court. Houghton was booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Vehicles damaged
City police were called to Ashmun Street approximately 100 feet south of the Marquette intersection shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday where a vehicle struck a second with enough force to propel it into a third.
All of the involved parties escaped without injury. While at least one of the vehicles sustained considerable damage in the mishap, all three were capable of being driven from the scene.
There were no citations issued.
Vehicle stuck
Sault Police also report an incident shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday where a vehicle failed to navigate the corner of the I-75 Business Spur and W. 19th Avenue, leaving the roadway and winding up in a snowbank. Officers arrived to find the woman had already summoned a wrecker to the scene.

Source: Inside Politics
A new poll shows that Congress is less popular than carnies, root canals and colonoscopies, but more popular than the ebola virus, meth labs and gonorrhea.
Those findings are in a Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released Tuesday showed that 9 percent of the respondents held a favorable opinion of Congress, while 85 percent held an unfavorable view.
"We all know Congress is unpopular," said Dean Debnam, PPP president. "But the fact that voters like it even less than cockroaches, lice and Genghis Kahn real shows how far its esteem has fallen with the American public over the last few weeks."
On the bright side, Congress came out of the survey in higher standing than North Korea, the Kardashian family, and actress Lindsay Lohan, as well as Cuba's Fidel Castro and former Sen. John Edwards.
On the not-so-bright side, it lost out in the popularity contest to the rock band Nickelback, real estate magnate Donald Trump, NFL replacement refs and France.
The survey of 830 voters was performed between Jan. 3 and Jan. 6 and has a 3.4 percent margin of error. The results of the poll can be found here.

Surgery and Other Procedures for Cancer Treatment
]]>Biologic Therapies]]> | ]]>Bone Marrow Transplant]]> | ]]>Chemotherapy]]> | ]]>Hormonal Therapy]]> | ]]>Managing Side Effects]]> | ]]>Radiation]]> | Surgery
Surgery, the oldest form of treatment for cancer, is the initial procedure in the diagnosis and/or treatment of many solid cancers. There are many cancers where the role of surgery is limited to a ]]>biopsy]]> for diagnosis, since other therapies (]]>chemotherapy]]> and/or ]]>radiation therapy]]>) are more effective and less debilitating.
Two major developments have greatly increased the use and success of surgery. First was the introduction of anesthesia in 1846. Second was the adoption of antiseptic principles in 1867. Freeing surgery from pain and infection enabled its extensive use in the treatment of tumors.
- ]]>How do surgery and other procedures work?]]>
- ]]>What are surgery and other procedures used for?]]>
- ]]>What are the types of surgery and other procedures?]]>
- ]]>What adverse effects can occur with surgery and invasive procedures?]]>
- ]]>Which cancers are surgery and other procedures used to treat?]]>
]]> How Do Surgery and Other Procedures Work?
Surgery and other invasive procedures work by removing cancerous tissues. The goal is to remove or reduce the total body tumor burden. When surgery is used to make a cancer diagnosis, the surgeon removes a tissue sample and sends it to a laboratory for examination and identification.
When determining if surgery is an option for you, your doctor will consider the location, type, and size of the tumor. In addition, how aggressively the tumor is capable of growing and whether or not it has already metastasized is considered. Finally, your doctor will assess your general health and how to best preserve your quality of life.
What Are Surgery and Other Procedures Used For?
Surgery is used in cancer treatment for many different reasons, from curing your disease to easing your pain. These reasons are described here.
Preventive or Prophylactic Surgery
This procedure involves removing body tissue that is not cancerous but is likely to become cancerous. An example is using cryosurgery]]> (using the extreme cold temperatures) to destroy and remove precancerous cells on the cervix.
Diagnostic Surgery
In diagnostic surgery, a tissue sample is removed and used to identify a specific cancer and make a diagnosis. The removed tissue is examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis and determine various features of the cancer that can be used to predict prognosis.
Staging Surgery
Staging surgery is used to determine the extent of the cancer in the body. While the physical exam, laboratory tests, and imaging studies are also used to stage a cancer, surgical staging often allows a more accurate assessment of how far the cancer has spread.
Curative Surgery
Attempting to remove the entire tumor when it appears to be in one area is known as curative surgery. It is thought of as a primary treatment for cancer, but it may be used with ]]>chemotherapy]]> or ]]>radiation therapy]]> .
Debulking or Cytoreductive Surgery
When it is not possible to safely remove the entire tumor, debulking surgery is often done. In so doing, the surgeon attempts to remove as much of the tumor as possible, which can make the tumor more susceptible to radiation or chemotherapy.
Palliative Surgery
Palliative surgery is not intended to cure cancer. It is used to manage pain and treat complications of advanced cancer, such as a life-threatening obstruction or bleeding.
Supportive or Combination Surgery
Supportive surgery is used to support other types of treatment. For example, surgery can be used to place a catheter into a vein, which then allows for the administration of chemotherapy.
Restorative or Reconstructive Surgery
This procedure is used to restore your appearance after primary surgery. It can also be used to restore the function of an organ or body part. An example of this type of procedure is breast reconstruction after ]]>mastectomy]]> .
]]> What Are the Types of Surgery and Other Procedures?
In a biopsy, your doctor removes a sample of tissue for diagnostic tests. It is not possible to make the diagnosis of cancer without a tissue biopsy. There are a variety of biopsy procedures, some require surgery and are performed by surgeons. Others are done in the doctor's office with little anesthesia. Usually, a biopsy removes just a sample of the affected tissue. Occasionally, the entire tumor is removed during the biopsy. Regardless of how much tissue is removed, it must be examined in a laboratory for an accurate diagnosis.
The following are some of the more common tissue biopsy procedures.
Incisional Biopsy
In an incisional biopsy, your surgeon cuts through your skin to remove a small part of a larger tumor. This is usually done with local or regional anesthesia, which is numbing medication used in the area of the biopsy. General anesthesia, which puts you to sleep, may be needed if your tumor is in the chest or abdomen.
Excisional Biopsy
In an excisional biopsy, your surgeon cuts through your skin to remove the entire tumor. This is usually done with local or regional anesthesia. General anesthesia may be needed if your tumor is in the chest or abdomen.
Fine Needle Biopsy
In a fine needle biopsy, your doctor removes tissue or fluid samples through a very thin needle. Imaging techniques like ultrasound]]> or ]]>CT scan]]> can be used to help guide the needle to the tumor. The procedure does not require hospitalization and can be done with local anesthesia. An advantage to this procedure is that it does not require a large incision through the skin. However, in some cases, the needle cannot remove enough tissue for a definitive diagnosis.
Needle Core Biopsy
A needle core biopsy is much like a fine needle biopsy, but the needle is slightly larger. This allows for removal of a larger sample of tissue.
In an endoscopy, the doctor uses a flexible tube with a video camera or a viewing lens and a fiberoptic light source on the end to view areas in the body. Using this procedure, your doctor can see the tumor directly and get an idea of its size and location. In addition, a biopsy can be taken through the scope for diagnostic purposes. The procedure usually does not require an open surgical incision or general anesthesia. However, you will be given medication that will make you sleepy and more relaxed before the procedure.
An endoscope can be passed through natural body openings and into the following areas:
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Rectum and colon
- Bladder
- Respiratory tract
Laparoscopy is done to view and possibly perform surgery on the organs in your abdomen, such as the intestines, stomach, gallbladder, and pelvic organs. Your surgeon inserts a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a fiberoptic light source and video camera) into your abdomen, which allows viewing of abdominal organs.
Several small (half inch) incisions are made just above or below the navel and carbon dioxide gas is injected through the incision to inflate the abdomen. This creates a larger space for your doctor to work. The laparoscope is inserted through one of the incisions and the camera transmits images of your organs on a video monitor. Your doctor may make additional small incisions in which other instruments can be inserted to move the organs around for better viewing and to perform any procedures, such as a tissue biopsy.
Because the incisions are very small, there is less pain associated with the procedure and recovery is faster than an open abdominal surgery. Laparoscopy may be performed under a local or general anesthetic and is usually done at a hospital.
A similar procedure involving the chest is called a thoracoscopy or mediastinoscopy.
Electrosurgery uses high-frequency electrical current applied by needles, blades, or electrodes to eliminate cancer cells. This procedure can be done in a doctor's office and with a local anesthesia. It is used for some cancers of the skin, oral cavity, anus, and rectum.
In cryosurgery, your doctor uses temperatures below -166.2ºF to freeze and kill abnormal cells. Carbon dioxide, Freon, and nitrous oxide are the three most common gaseous freezing agents. Or, your doctor can use a very cold probe, called a cyroprobe. This procedure can be done in a doctor's office and may involve local anesthesia. Cyrosurgery is used to treat surface lesions, like ]]>skin cancer]]> and precancerous and cancerous gynecologic conditions. Newer innovations have enabled this technique to treat areas deep within the body, like metastatic ]]>liver cancer]]> and ]]>prostate cancer]]> . The use of cryosurgery for the definitve or curative management of prostate cancer is investigational.
Laser Surgery
Laser surgery uses a powerful beam of light energy to kill and remove cancerous tissue. Because the beam is so highly focused, it can be used for precise surgical work, like repairing the retina of an eye. Lasers are used to remove tumors in difficult-to-access areas or to minimize blood loss in highly vascular (containing many blood vessels) tissue. Laser surgery is also called photocoagulation or photoablation.
In photocoagulation, tissues are heated to temperatures above 932ºF, which immediately destroys the tissue. This process is used to prevent blood loss when surgery is performed in an area with numerous blood vessels.
Photoablation occurs at temperatures above 1,832ºF, a temperature at which tissue water boils. This results in a "vaporization" of the tissue. This procedure is used for incision and removal of diseased tissue.
Laser surgery can be done in the doctor's office with a local anesthesia. Sometimes performed in a hospital setting, this procedure is used for cancers of the ]]>cervix]]>, ]]>larynx]]>, liver, rectum, and skin.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery, a procedure used with skin cancer, is a microscopically controlled surgery. After you are given local anesthesia, a specially trained surgeon shaves off the suspect tissue, layer by layer. After removal, each layer is examined under a microscope. The procedure ends when the excised tissue looks normal.
Chemosurgery is the combined use of layer-by-layer surgical resection of tissue and topical application of chemical agents.
Open Surgery
When a less invasive procedure cannot provide adequate treatment, your surgeon may opt for open surgery. Open surgery always takes place in a hospital and with anesthesia (either general or local depending on the situation). In open surgery, an incision is made to remove part or all of the cancerous tissue.
]]> What Adverse Effects Can Occur With Surgery and Invasive Procedures?
Advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and the management of postoperative infections have greatly reduced the danger associated with surgery. However, there are some risks involved.
During Surgery
Possible complications during surgery can be due to the surgery itself, the anesthesia, or an underlying disease. Usually, the more complicated the surgery, the greater the risk.
Complications can include any of the following:
- Bleeding—This may require blood transfusions. The doctor will try to minimize your risk, but you may want to consider banking some of your own blood in the weeks before surgery in case you need it during your operation.
- Damage to internal organs or blood vessels—Your doctor will try to minimize this complication as much as possible.
- Reactions to anesthesia or other medicines—Although this complication is rare, it can be very serious. All your vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure to watch for any signs of a reaction.
- Problems with other organs, such as the heart or kidneys—These are also very rare, but can be life-threatening. This type of complication is more likely to happen to a person who already has problems with these organs.
After Surgery
The following adverse effects may occur after surgery, but are usually not life threatening:
- Pain—Almost every person who undergoes surgery experiences some level of pain. Although some pain is normal, it should not interfere with your recovery. While there are many effective medications for pain, usually it is the method of their administration that matters most. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA), for example, is a popular form of pain management that allows you to take charge of your own pain. If you are experiencing pain, it is essential that you talk with your doctor to make sure this issue is satisfactorily addressed.
- Infection at the incision site—Doctors take many precautions to minimize the risk of infection at the site of the wound, but it can occur. Antibiotics are usually given to treat these infections. It is important to let your doctor know if you detect signs of a possible infection at your incision site, such as increasing or thickening discharge, spreading redness, swelling, or increasing pain.
The following adverse effects are less common, but can be more serious:
- Pneumonia]]>—You are at a greater risk for this complication if you are a smoker, have compromised lung function, or had surgery done to your chest. To help minimize your risk, start deep breathing exercises and get out of bed as soon as possible after surgery.
- Other infections within the body—This is especially the case if your digestive tract was opened during surgery. Your doctor will take great care to prevent this effect from happening, and strong antibiotics are given if it does occur.
- Bleeding—This can occur either internally or externally, and can occur if a blood vessel was not sealed off during surgery or if a wound reopens.
- Blood clots—These can form in the deep veins of the legs after surgery, especially if you remain in bed for a long time. This can be a serious problem if the clot breaks off and travels to your lung. Try to get out of bed and sit, stand, and walk as soon as possible.
- Slow recovery of normal body functions—An example is movement in the intestines, which can result in constipation.
There are some side effects and complications that are specific to the type and location of cancer. For example, a man with prostate cancer may have a radical ]]>prostatectomy]]> (removal of the prostate), which can cause ]]>incontinence]]> and ]]>impotence]]>.

Woman gets protection order against parents
A suburban Kansas City woman studying music theater at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music has won a stalking protection order against her parents.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that 21-year-old Aubrey Ireland of Leawood has convinced a Cincinnati judge that her parents have been harassing her.
She says they often showed up unannounced at her school and told her department head she had mental issues that could force them to go to court to have her treated.
Her parents admitted they installed monitoring software on their daughter's laptop and cellphone. Aubrey said it was like she was "a dog with a collar on."
Her mother, Julie Ireland, told the judge her daughter has been "catered to all her life by loving parents" and insisted they "weren't bothering her."

About the Author: Johnny Kääpä
STEAL THESE PHOTOS! You may download pictures and use them on your blog, Facebook or Instagram, just put a link back to me or my Facebookpage. My name is @fotoscenen on Insta. If you want to use my images commercially, i. e. if your blog is sponsored by advertising, then I want to get payed as well. That makes sense right. If you are one of the artists I've shot, contact me at fotoscenen at gmail.com and we'll make a deal. I'm not expensive. Or you may share the blogpost or share the picture I've posted on my Facebookpage. Why steal from a fellow artist. That's just not right...
