Skin Problems & Treatments Health Health

It is estimated that close to 25% of the U.S. population has some sort of tattoo. Eventually, as many as 50% of them want to have laser tattoo removal.
There is good news for those who have an unwanted body design. Newer laser tattoo removal techniques can eliminate your tattoo with minimal side effects. Here's how it works: lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors of the tattoo with a high-intensity light beam.
Black tattoo pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest to treat. Other colors can only be treated by selected lasers based upon the pigment color.

Who Can Benefit From Laser Tattoo Removal?

Because each tattoo is unique, removal techniques must be tailored to suit each individual case. In the past, tattoos could be removed by a wide variety of methods but, in many cases, the scars were more unsightly than the tattoo itself.
Patients with previously treated tattoos may also be candidates for laser therapy. Tattoos that have not been effectively removed by other treatments or through home remedies may respond well to laser therapy providing the prior treatments did not result in excessive scarring.

How Do I Find a Reputable Doctor to Do Laser Tattoo Removal?

To have a tattoo removed, you want to make sure you find a reputable dermatologist or cosmetic surgery center to ensure proper treatment and care. If possible, you should obtain a recommendation from your family doctor for a dermatologist or skin surgery center that specializes in tattoo removal.

What Can I Expect During Laser Tattoo Removal?

Depending on the size and color of your tattoo, the number of treatments will vary. Your tattoo may be removed in two to four visits, though it may take as many as 10 more sessions. You should schedule a consultation, during which time a trained professional will evaluate your personal situation and advise you on the process.
Treatment with the laser varies from patient to patient depending on the age, size, and type of tattoo (amateur or professional). The color of the patient's skin, as well as the depth to which the tattoo pigment extends, will also affect the removal technique.

Crandon Beach is one of Miami's

Crandon Beach is one of Miami's greatest park treasures. A beautiful, sprawling campus of beaches and amenities, Crandon Park is more than a beach. At Crandon Park Beach on Key Biscayne, there's a Family Amusement Center, a Nature Center and even a place to rent cabanas.

The beach remains the main attraction at the luscious and family-friendly Crandon Park. Gear up for a friendly game of beach volleyball or unpack your picnic and bring some supplies for the on-site grills. There's almost always a birthday party or event taking place somewhere at this site. At the south end of Crandon Park Beach, there are cabanas for rent. Cabanas have showers and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Cabana renters are assigned a parking space and exclusive picnic tables on the beach. 

It's fun to explore the various ecosystems at Crandon Park, including dunes, mangroves, coastal hammock and sea grass beds. The Crandon Park Nature Center is home to exotic plants, rare fish and wildlife, and Bear Cut Preserve, a natural Environment Study Area. Take a tour with a naturalist and explore all that this nature hotbed has to offer.

CIVIL LIBERTIES AND LAW IN THE ERA OF SURVEILLANCE
Can the law keep up with technology?

Government Surveillance ArtIt may no longer be an exaggeration to say that big brother is watching. When Edward Snowden leaked classified government documents last year, many were surprised to learn just how much access the National Security Agency (NSA) has to the personal email and phone records of ordinary citizens. Those revelations about the scope and extent of surveillance by American intelligence agencies have prompted a national debate about civil liberties in an age of new technology that enables the government to both collect and store vast amounts of personal information about its citizens. The discussion is also surfacing in local communities where technology allows law enforcement to indiscriminately gather information on law-abiding citizens—information that is collected, kept, and shared with little to no oversight, or awareness by the general public.

Today, new technologies are changing the relationship between the citizen and the state, with the government and law enforcement able to access our information and observe our private activities, raising important civil liberties questions. Stanford Law School faculty and alumni are centrally involved in some of the most important questions surrounding this issue—working in key areas where the law is still catching up with technology.

Looming large over the debate is the post-9/11 war on terrorism, which has led to legislation such as the USA Patriot Act, designed to make it easier for the government to collect data that would help combat terrorism. At the same time, the incredible evolution in technology over the past two decades has revolutionized both the tools available to the government for surveillance and those used by individuals to live their lives.

“We’re living in the 21st century, but when it comes to issues concerning information technology, the law is still rooted in the 20th century,” says Anthony Romero, JD ’90, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

In striking a balance between constitutional rights, crime fighting, and national security, the legal doctrines at issue include everything from post-9/11 legislation that has given law enforcement access to electronic records, to constitutional rules governing criminal procedure, to the regulation of surveillance technology equipment by local governments.

Technology at the Local Level

The U.S. is a country of highways and cars, where Americans spend a lot of time behind the wheel. And tracking how we use our cars offers a picture of much more than simply our mode of transportation.

Automatic License Plate Reader/Recognition technology, ALPR, developed in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, has been in use since the early 1980s as a tool to aid law enforcement agencies in various ways, from tracking stolen cars to identifying criminals. Since its introduction, this technology has become more powerful, mobile, and affordable. Today, more than 70 percent of police departments in the U.S. use some form of ALPR, recording thousands of plate numbers daily with cameras mounted on patrol cars and at key traffic areas such

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma
Listen to an audio summary on Mesothelioma Cancer.

Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer affecting the membrane lining of the lungs and abdomen.

Malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all asbestos-related diseases. The primary cause and risk factor for mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos.

Making a correct mesothelioma diagnosis is particularly difficult for doctors because the disease often presents with symptoms that mimic other common ailments. There is currently no known cure for mesothelioma, but treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy can help to improve the typical mesothelioma prognosis.

Pleural mesothelioma (affecting the lung’s protective lining in the chest cavity) represents about three quarters of all mesothelioma incidence. Peritoneal mesothelioma, which affects the abdominal cavity, and pericardial mesothelioma, which affects the cardiac cavity, comprise the remainder.

Mesothelioma CancerGet This Image For Your Site
There are three recognized mesothelioma cell types. Between 50% and 70% of all mesotheliomas are of the epithelial variety. While prognosis is generally poor, it is considered less aggressive than sarcomatoid mesothelioma and biphasic mesothelioma, which comprise the remainder of cell-type diagnoses.

The cavities within the body encompassing the chest, abdomen, and heart are surrounded by a membrane of cells known as the mesothelium. Mesothelial cells assist in general organ functions. The mesothelium is particularly important to organs that are commonly in motion, such as expansion or contraction of the lungs, stomach, or heart. Lubrication from the mesothelial cells allows free range of motion within the body. The mesothelium of the chest, abdomen, and cardiac cavity are called the pleura, the peritoneum, and the pericardium, respectively. Each of these groupings of mesothelial cells is extremely critical to the functions of the body structures which they encompass.

Malignancies (cancerous tumors) occurring within the mesothelial membranes are known as malignant mesothelioma, or simply mesothelioma. Benign tumors of the mesothelium are known to occur, but are much more rare than malignant mesothelial tumors.

While tumors of the mesothelium were first recognized in the late 18th century, it was not until the middle of the 20th century that this particular cancer was studied and examined with more detail. It was at this time when suspicions of the cancer’s causal relationship with asbestos exposure became more substantiated. A joint research venture through the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the University of the Witswater and Johannesburg General Hospital in South Africa provided the most compelling evidence of the nexus between asbestos exposure and the development of pleural mesothelioma.

Incidence of mesothelioma is still quite rare, with only 2,500-3,000 diagnoses in the United States each year. There was a spike in reported diagnoses between 1970 and 1984, which has been attributed to the latency period between diagnosis and the height of industrial exposures, which occurred roughly 40-60 years prior to this time. While exposure was common in nearly all industries, it was particularly prevalent in the WWII-era military industrial cycle, including navy shipyards.

Although this cancer is much more common in men over the age of 60 (largely attributed to the industrial exposures within male-dominated industries), mesothelioma in women and children has been documented as well. Mesothelioma causes for diagnosis in women and children are mainly attributed to secondary exposure to asbestos, as it was not uncommon for men to bring asbestos back into the home on their bodies or articles of clothing if proper cleaning facilities were not available on site.

Mesothelioma is diagnosed through a comprehensive combination of biopsy and imaging scans.

Microsoft ditching the Nokia name on smartphones


New Nokia Lumia smartphones will instead by known as

Microsoft Lumia, the company said.

Nokia's non-mobile division, which is not owned by Microsoft, will continue to use the name.

The mobile operation was bought by Microsoft in April in a deal worth $7.2bn (£4.6bn).

Since then, Microsoft has quietly shifted away from the Nokia brand.

A post on Nokia France's Facebook page confirmed the branding shift. The renaming will roll out globally in due course, Microsoft has said.

The announcement comes despite Microsoft agreeing to a 10-year deal to use the Nokia name on mobile products.

Android 5.0 Lollipop


Today, Google unveiled the latest version of Android, the world’s most popular phone operating system. It goes by the nickname “Lollipop,” because Google names its Android versions alphabetically after sweets (Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop). Variations of Lollipop will eventually run on Android tablets, watches, TVs, and just about anything else with a screen.

The flat Lollipop world
The biggest news is the visual overhaul. Like Microsoft’s Windows Phone and Apple’s iOS 7 before it, Google has adopted an extremely “flat” design: no texture or shadow. Solid rectangles of color. Sparse, simple, plain. It makes Android feel simpler and cleaner — and less heavy, since the black backgrounds of the home screens and the Settings app are now white or colorful.

Samsung’s Galaxy S5 Smartphone Is Now on Sale

The wait is over. The Galaxy S5, Samsung’s newest Android flagship smartphone, hits stores today.

Improving on last year’s Galaxy S4 with a slightly larger screen, speedier innards, an improved camera, and its own fingerprint sensor to rival Apple’s Touch ID, the S5 immediately becomes one of the top smartphones on the market today.




Where do I buy one?
The phone is launching in 125 countries today, but stateside you can pick one up from any of the four major wireless carriers — T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T — as well as Best Buy, RadioShack, and other retailers. If you don’t mind waiting for it to be shipped, Amazon.com is also a good option.

How much is it?
Contract carriers are selling the Galaxy S5 for $199 with a two-year agreement. T-Mobile is offering the device at a $0 down, $27-a-month payment plan spread out across two years.

Sprint and AT&T also have similar $0-down payment plans, which allow customers to upgrade earlier than those in two-year service agreements. Verizon has a buy one, get one free promotion, though both purchasers must sign a new two-year contract, and must also be on the same plan. 

The last option is to just buy an unlocked Galaxy S5 to be used on prepaid services or without contract. You can grab one this way from places like Newegg.com or Amazon, but it’ll run you anywhere from $700 to $800.

Should I buy one?
Our own David Pogue recently put the Samsung Galaxy S5 through its paces and found it to be a great and capable device with a very good camera and a very smart waterproof feature. The downside: The phone is unfortunately loaded with Samsung “junkware” and probably too many features you’ll never use. Luckily Android, and Samsung’s version called TouchWiz, are so customizable that much of the stuff you’ll never use can be hidden out of the way.

Be sure to read Pogue’s full review of the Galaxy S5 before deciding on whether or not it should be your next smartphone. Keep in mind that Samsung’s Galaxy phones are very popular, so unless you’re the patient type when it comes to getting your new toys (we are not), you might want to make your mind up soon before your neighborhood store runs out of stock.

Happy gadgeting!

iPhone 6 Looked Like a Giant iPod Nano


Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of iPhone 6 concepts: those that try to faithfully imagine what the iPhone 6 will really look like and those that are way off in la-tee-da fantasy land.
MacRumors points us to a new concept from iCulture and artist Martin Hajek that falls squarely into the latter category, although it’s certainly an intriguing idea that does have some small basis in reality when it comes to possible future iPhone designs.

As you can see from the pictures posted below, the new concept makes the iPhone look much more like an iPod nano than a traditional iPhone, with sharper corners that would allow Apple to open up more space for the device’s display. 

While this concept is highly unlikely to look anything like the real iPhone 6 that will release this year, it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility for future iPhones. We learned earlier this year that Apple has received a design patent for a radical new kind of iPhone model that looks much more like a fourth-generation iPod nano than any other smartphone Apple has ever released. In its patent, Apple describes a new curved display that will be made from flexible material and that can present “an illusion of depth perception” capable of “mimicking a 3D experience.” So while iCulture and Hajek’s concept might not work as an accurate depiction of the iPhone 6, it could very well work as a depiction of what the iPhone 9 might look like.

HTC New Premium Android Phone


On Tuesday morning HTC introduced the HTC One (M8), its followup to 2013’s critically-acclaimed One smartphone. The One features an all-metal body — distinguishing itself from the plastic of chief rival Samsung’s Galaxy S5 — a high-definition 5.0-inch screen and a “Duo camera” on the back of the phone, which will allow you to refocus your photo after you snap it.

The HTC One (M8)’s screen measures 5.0 inches diagonally, up from 4.7 inches on last year’s model. This makes it about equal in screen size to the Galaxy S5 and its 5.1-inch display. The iPhone 5s, meanwhile, has a smaller, 4.0-inch display.


HTC has also updated the phone’s software, to make it easier to use, and has greatly improved the phone’s battery life. HTC executives said that a big marketing push would accompany the launch of the new One, as HTC tries to battle Samsung and Apple for relevance in the smartphone market.

The original HTC One was released in March 2013. Critics praised the One’s design and high-resolution display, but the phone turned out to be a commercial disappointment. A splashy advertising campaign with Robert Downey Jr. couldn’t help the One’s sales, which were dwarfed by both the Apple iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S4.

Now, the All New One will have to compete with Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy S5, as well as Apple’s new iPhone, expected in the fall.

HTC says the new One will be available immediately, in stores at Verizon and for online order at AT&T and Sprint.

Samsung Announces the Galaxy S5

On Monday, Samsung announced the Galaxy S5, its premium smartphone followup to the Galaxy S4 and challenger to Apple’s iPhone 5s for the top smartphone in the world. 


The Galaxy S5 features a large and crisp 5.1 inch display; new health tracking features, including built-in apps to log your meals; and a fingerprint sensor, which, like Apple’s latest iPhone, will let you unlock the phone with the touch of your finger.

The S5 will be released in April on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular. Samsung did not announce a price at the time of the unveiling.

HTC Will Replace Your Cracked Smartphone Screen for Free

HTC makes some of the greatest smartphones in the world — in fact, last year’s flagship HTC One is easily still one of the best Android phones that has ever launched — and now consumers in the United States have yet another reason to consider HTC when purchasing their next smartphone. 


The Taiwan-based vendor on Tuesday announced a new program called HTC Advantage, an industry first that takes much of the pain out of one of the most painful things that can happen to your smartphone. In the few moments following the point at which your smartphone slips out of your hand, time seems to slow down as the device spirals toward the ground. Then, following the inevitable impact, the sweat begins to build on your brow as you reach down and retrieve your phone to see whether or not the handset’s glass face has cracked. 

For people in the U.S. who buy HTC smartphones moving forward, that fateful moment will soon be followed by a sigh of relief. HTC Advantage is a new free program that will automatically accompany every HTC One series smartphone sold in the U.S. beginning immediately. In a nutshell, the program guarantees two things: first, HTC promises that it will continue update its smartphones to the latest version of Android for up to two years following launch. Second, in the event that an HTC One series smartphone owner cracks the screen on his or her phone within the first six months of purchasing it, HTC will replace the cracked display for free. “We recognize that people spend good money to buy smartphones. 

Creating premium products that offer customers the best and latest has always been the HTC way, and now we’re carrying that commitment beyond the handset purchase to ensure customers remain satisfied beyond day one,” HTC Americas president Jason Mackenzie said. “In line with our history of firsts, we want to be the first to protect the investment customers make in our premium devices.” The HTC Advantage program launches Tuesday and more information can be found on HTC’s website.
