The Changing Nature of Personal Information

Americans continue to expect control over their personal information,
but have softened some of their views about privacy.The nature of
personal information is changing in the age of Web 2.0

Searching for Self: "Curiouser and Curiouser"

47% of internet users have searched for information about themselves
online, up from just 22% five years ago.

protect your name and your companies

11% of internet users have a job that requires them to self-promote or
market their name online.

Those motivated by work-related expectations are more active in
monitoring their presence online. Public personae are more likely to
say that a wide range of personal content (both creative and mundane
in nature) is available online. However, public personae have not
widely embraced social networking tools for professional or personal
uses.

One in five working adults in the U.S. say their employer has policies or
guidelines about self-presentation online. Few regularly repeat their
personal name searches. Most who have the inclination to conduct a
personal name search find relevant results. Those who search for their
own name see a familiar footprint. Nearly nine in ten internet users
who locate information about themselves say that most of what they
find is accurate, up from 74% five years ago.

Measuring Our Online Footprint: The Trails of 2.0

One in three online adults say their home address and information
about who they work for is available online. Many users are uncertain
about the availability of their email address. Just one in ten
internet users believe that information about their political party
affiliation is available online. Users often share "second degree"
personal information through content posted on social media sites.

One in three adult internet users has posted creative content online.
Social Networking Profiles: With adults, transparency is the norm.
Most internet users feel as though it would be "pretty easy" for
someone to locate or contact them based on the information available
about them online. Young adults, many of whom maintain a profile on a
social networking site, are more likely than other internet users to
believe it would be "very difficult" for someone to locate or contact
them.

Subject: [Shtoom] Check this out LASIK Surgery Checklist, Jerry Katzman MD
Message-ID: <19de303e0802070208q1fc14ff6m4c28661180defad0@mail.gmail.com>

Q: Can you refer me to a good LASIK surgeon in my area?
A: Refer to the Other Resources section of this site. You may want to
contact the organizations listed there for additional information.
While FDA regulates medical devices and drugs, FDA does not regulate
the practice of medicine and does not have a registry of doctors. FDA
does not know of any government agency that can provide a referral for
any medical procedure. You may want to go to your library and see if
there is a local community services magazine that may provide
comparison information of services for doctors in your area.
Q: How do I report a bad experience or who do I notify about a 'bad' doctor?
A: If you had a bad experience or sustained an injury, you should file
a voluntary MedWatch report (1-800-FDA-1088) to the FDA. Also, you
could contact your state medical licensing board and file a complaint
with them. In addition, you could contact your state health department
or consumer complaint organization (e.g., Better Business Bureau).

Q: How much does LASIK cost?
A: The FDA regulates the safety and effectiveness of medical devices
for their intended use. The FDA does not regulate the marketing of or
any fees associated with the use of that product. Again, you may want
to go to your library and see if there is a local community services
magazine that may provide comparison information of services for
doctors in your area.
Q: How can I find out if a particular laser has been approved to treat
my refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or
astigmastism)?
A: You can find approved devices, their approval date, and a synopsis
of the approved indications on the FDA-APPROVED LASERS page.
Q: If the laser I am interested in has not yet been approved for a
particular indication, how can I find out when it will be approved?
A: Confidentiality restrictions prohibit FDA from commenting on the
status of a device under regulatory review, but you can try asking the
laser company for this information.
Jerry Katzman MD
Q: Which laser is the best for treating my refractive error?
A: FDA does not provide comparisons between refractive lasers. FDA
approves the safety and effectiveness of a device independent of any
other product. However, you are encouraged to review the approval
documents to assess the capabilities of specific laser systems and
make your own comparisons. The approval number for each laser on the
FDA-APPROVED LASERS page is linked to these documents, which provide
additional, detailed information about the clinical trial results and
indications for use. Discuss any concerns you may have with your
doctor.
Q: How does wavefront LASIK compare to conventional LASIK?
A: Wavefront adds an automatic measurement of more subtle distortions
(called higher order aberrations) than just nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and astigmatism corrected by conventional LASIK.
However, these "higher order aberrations" account for only a small
amount (probably no more than 10%) of the total refractive error of
the average person's eye. Conventional LASIK increases higher order
aberrations. Although wavefront-guided treatments attempt to eliminate
higher order aberrations, results from the clinical studies have shown
that the average aberrations still increase, but less than they do
after conventional LASIK. In a few studies comparing wavefront-guided
LASIK to conventional LASIK, a slightly larger percentage of subjects
treated with wavefront LASIK achieved 20/20 vision without glasses or
contact lenses compared to subjects treated with conventional LASIK.
Patient selection ("When is LASIK not for me?") and the experience and
competence of the surgeon are still the most important considerations.

Q: What percentage of patients attain 20/20 vision or better without
glasses or contacts?
A: Data in the Approval Orders and related documents summarizes the
outcomes from the clinical trials submitted to the FDA for each
approved device. Links to these documents are included on the
FDA-APPROVED LASERS page.
Q: Can you send me more information or respond to my concern?
A: No. The most current information we have about LASIK is on this
website and we update it routinely. We do not have the resources to
respond directly to patient concerns or questions. We encourage you to
discuss these matters with your doctor.
Q: Can I use information from the FDA LASIK website?
A: Yes. Information on this website can be used freely by the public.
Any use on other websites or in publications should be properly cited.
Jerry Katzman MD

With a better understanding of these benefits, it's easy to see why
many design / build contractors, construction managers and savvy
building owners are opting for tilt-up over steel buildings or
traditional construction. Toubl Construction Delivering value, speed
and responsiveness, quality, durability, reduced construction costs,
and ongoing cost savings in operating expenses, tiltwall construction
is the best choice for a wide range of commercial construction
projects. Jeremy Toubl
The term "steel building" is often associated with simple storage
sheds and basic structures. With advancements in the industry over the
past forty years, however, steel buildings have broken that stereotype
and are being used for an ever-growing list of larger and more complex
applications. Acworth Exteriors Steel has found its way into advanced
farm buildings, riding arenas, aircraft hangers, commercial centers
and more.
While steel is reasonably durable, concrete remains the material of
choice for buildings that require less upkeep and maintenance over the
years. Concrete is impervious to corrosion, rotting, rust or insect
infestation; tiltwall buildings created in the 1940s are still
standing today with little apparent wear. Toubl Contracting  The fact
that builders in earthquake-prone California now use tilt-up
construction for 90% of their single-story commercial buildings
indicates that concrete buildings are cost-competitive and extremely
durable.
When factoring in potential repairs and ongoing maintenance, it's
apparent that the real dollar difference between operating a steel
building and a concrete building can be significant. Toubl
Construction Further, the added fire safety and durability of a
concrete building will usually be reflected in lower insurance
premiums. Acworth Exteriors If the owner decides to sell the property,
they will most likely find that a tilt-up or other concrete building
depreciates less and than a steel building will. Jeremy Toubl
Up until now the previous articles focused on buildings made entirely
of steel. An important fact to remember is that the use of steel in
building is not necessarily exclusive of concrete or blocks. In larger
or more sophisticated projects the different raw materials and
construction methods are frequently used together. Toubl Contracting

Subject: [Shtoom] Must read this Jerry Katzman Ophthalmologist keep your
	health with fish oil
Message-ID: <19de303e0802280421j4e641299me86043554302801f@mail.gmail.com>

There is a promising preliminary evidence, that ??3 fatty acids
supplementation might be helpful in cases of depression and anxiety.
Jerry Katzman Ophthalmologist Studies report highly significant
improvement from ??3 fatty acids supplementation alone and in
conjunction with medication.
Some research suggests that fish oil intake may reduce the risk of
ischemic and thrombotic stroke. Jerry Katzman Ophthalmologist However,
very large amounts may actually increase the risk of hemorrhagic
stroke (see below). Lower amounts are not related to this risk. 3
grams of total EPA/DHA daily are considered safe with no increased
risk of bleeding involved and many studies used substantially higher
doses without major side effects (for example: 4.4 grams EPA/2.2 grams
DHA in 2003 study).
Several studies report possible anti-cancer effects of ??3 fatty acids
(particularly breast, colon and prostate cancer). No clear conclusion
can be drawn at this time, however.
Jerry Katzman Ophthalmologist Psychological disorders

??3 fatty acids are known to have membrane-enhancing capabilities in
brain cells. One medical explanation is that ??3 fatty acids play a
role in the fortification of the myelin sheaths. Not coincidentally,
??3 fatty acids comprise approximately eight percent of the average
human brain according to a pioneer in fatty acid research. University
of Minnesota, another major researcher in studying essential fatty
acids, who gave it the name, surmised how ??3 components are analogous
to the human brain by stating that "DHA is structure, EPA is
function."
Jerry Katzman Ophthalmologist A benefit of ??3 fatty acids is helping
the brain to repair damage by promoting neuronal growth. In a
six-month study involving people with schizophrenia and Huntington's
disease who were treated with EPA or a placebo, the placebo group had
clearly lost cerebral tissue, while the patients given the supplements
had a significant increase of grey and white matter.
