MRI Best To Detect Cancer Spread Into Breast Ducts
MRI is better than MDCT for determining if and how far breast cancer has spread into the breast ducts and should be used before patients receive breast conserving treatment, a new study shows. "Patients have a lower survival rate if their surgical margins are positive for tumor cells. A positive surgical margin is commonly the result of inadequate resection of the cancer's intraductal component, " said Akiko Shimauchi, MD, at Tohoku University in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan. "Accurate preoperative diagnosis of the intraductal component allows the surgeon to achieve a cancer-free surgical margin, " she said........

One of the happiest days in my life- The OEUVRE is back...!

One of the happiest days in my life- The OEUVRE is back...!

œuvre  n. works of a creative artist regarded collectively. [French, = work, from Latin opera]

Yes!!! It is true…

I have been finally re-united with my poem book- THE OEUVRE that was supposedly “lost”! And it was like that old Bollyhood line “Kumbh Mela main Beechray Bhai becoming a reality for me. I wrote the first poem for my Oeuvre on 31st November 1997 and today is May 25th, 2009. So, I am going 11+ years back into my late teen and early adulthood again today.

At this moment, I would like to thank these people(not necessarily in the order):-

Ruchi: For keeping the book at Garima’s place and informing me about it.

Garima: I owe you so much. Thanks for being so patient with my impatience, understanding how I felt about the poem book, informing your sister, reminding her and answering my calls.

Nidhi: Thanks for bringing the poem book from Gangtok to Bangalore.

Aunty: Thanks for keeping the book safely. Most importantly, thanks for letting me have my memories back.

Now, what next??

Those who have been following this blog know the reason why I started this blog. The headline for “Of Ink, Pennings and Pittoresco’s!” since 2004 was as below:

This blog would have never come out, given the fact that I LOST my entire collection of 26 poems composed during the period 1997-2000.

However, I managed to bury my sorrows and with the left-overs of my literary aspirations, I am waking up to a fresh dawn of cognition, sentience, consciousness, idea, and imagination.

I removed the above header recently after hearing that the book was still intact at Garima’s place.

I have now decided that in the days to come, I will publish one poem a day in this blog of mine for 28 days. :)

Last but not the least, for the curious, here are the first pictures from the poem book:-

Currently, in the US, there is a competition by Google called “Doodle 4 Google”, with the theme “What I wish for the world”. According to Google, “Doodle 4 Google” is a competition where they invite K-12(Grade K to Grade 12) students to play around with their homepage logo and see what new designs they come up with.

I happened to stumble on the competition page this morning by curiosity. The competition is in its last phase where netizens can help choose the National finalists from the 40 regional winners.

One can do so by visiting this LINK.

The competition offers lots of prizes to the eventual winners. But most importantly, I believe that the theme is based on a great thought!

IPL 2 champions…Chennai Super Kings or Delhi Daredevils?

Chennai Super Kings Logo(Courtesy:CSK website)

Long before the tourney had started, I had vouched for Delhi Daredevils to win IPL Season 2. Sehwag and Gambhir in the same team surely sends shivers down the spines of opponents, bowlers in particular. And if this wasn’t enough, Abraham Benjamin de Villiers, Dilshan and Karthik were to follow. The bowling lineup also looked menacing. I thought Mc Grath would play a crucial role backed by Nannes, Nehra and a quality spinner in the form of Amit Mishra. Mc Grath isn’t playing but the Daredevils have no regrets- they are pretty perched at the top of the IPL table and look fine to run away with the IPL trophy.

However, having said that, as the tournament has progressed, I am slowly changing my mind. And my bet is on Chennai Super Kings. Runners-up last year and doing exceedingly well, CSK might just turn the tables on the Daredevils. These two teams have met twice and have shared the honors. But, if you look at runs, you will see that DD, irrespective of their batting prowess have failed to chase a decent score like 145 whereas Chennai, batting second have scored 180 in a lost cause.

My instinct tells me that we are going to see another “Kings11 versus CSK” match whenever DD and CSK clash again. And remember, let us not to discount the MSD factor. He might just revive his T20 World Cup winning memories in South Africa again!!

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE, GAME WEEK 37- PREVIEW VIS-A-VIS FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE.


image

Image:Courtesy-MorgueFile.

Those who read my post on EPL game week 36 would have realized that choosing three players from Manchester United was indeed fruitful. As for my team, I had to make random substitutions in the 11th hour because two of my players(Arshavin and Lennon) were out that game week. I finally decided to have Ronaldo back as my captain. However, Sir. Alex had other ideas. He broke my heart by not playing Ronaldo the full 90 minutes against Manchester City. Ronaldo was in a great run that day and could have scored more. The other player who failed us all was Frank Lampard. He doesn’t fail us often, does he?

So, with two days to go, what is in store for us this game week?

Rather than looking at this game week alone, I feel it will be wise to look at the last game week as well. On analysis, it is evident that the team that will fetch you the maximum points is Chelsea. Chelsea has one match against Blackburn and one against Sunderland. So, you can expect a lot of goals and can bet on at least one clean sheet for the goal keeper and defenders. If you haven’t already, try to have maximum players from Chelsea now.

Liverpool play West Bromwich Albion this game week and against Tottenham in the final one. I believe WBA can’t do a Wigan to Liverpool. So, you can still bet on three players from Liverpool this game week.

Choosing players from Manchester United will require lot of contemplation. I am very cynical about having players from top teams in my squad when they play against each other. Manchester United play Arsenal on 16th May and I am secretly wishing for a Bendtner magic. And what if Hull City beat United in the last game?

With respect to FPL, the point to ponder is that if United beat or draw with Arsenal, then Sir. Alex might rest his important players in the game against Hull City(24th May 2009). Remember, United are heading Rome for the Champions League final(27th May 2009) against Barca. So, I believe Sir. Alex will play all his fine men this game week against Arsenal to seal the premiership.

Arsenal on the other hand will play with their full strength for the remaining two game weeks. So, even if they lose to Manchester United, retain their best players in your squad. Their last game against Stoke City should get you a lot of points.

Also, investing on Aston Villa might yield great results.

Finally, this is my FPL squad for Game week 37:-

Schwarzer, Vidic, Arbeloa, Cole A, Dempsey, Lampard(Captain), Ronaldo, Benayoun, Fletcher[His CL “Red Card” appeal was rejected], Bendtner, Tristan, Walcott, Figueroa, Taylor R.

FINAL REVIEW OF ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE, GAME WEEK 38- PREVIEW VIS-A-VIS FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE.

image

It is sad, isn’t it? 38 weeks of action packed extravaganza coming to an end…

Manchester United have been already crowned as Champions , Benitez is still refusing to acknowledge this fact and Tevez will not be back in Manchester United colors next year. In addition, West Brom Albion have been relegated and Newcastle United, Hull City and Middleborough will play the game of their lifetime this week. As for promotions, Wolverhamton Wanderers, Birmingham City and either Sheffield United or Burnley will join the elite league next season. But, there is the still some more action left and something to play for, both for players and for us, the FPL managers.

In my last article, I had mentioned why we need to keep maximum players from Chelsea and Arsenal for the final game week, subject to United drawing or winning their game against Arsenal. Certainly, United will field a second string side against Hull City, ignoring “fair-play” pleas from Newcastle United and Middlesborough. And we can't blame United either because for United, Rome will be bastion of their phenomenal form and performance this year. So, is Ronaldo playing for the full 90 minutes this game-week?

Well, that is a tough question! The Golden Boot award beckons and he knows Anelka is right there rubbing shoulders with him for the coveted prize. Ferguson always sees “the bigger picture” and might want to rest him for the Hull City tie. But, he might also be wary of how Ronaldo will react.

As for the other players from Manchester United, O’Shea was the first player to be selected by Ferguson to play in Rome. Ferdinand is still nursing his injury and is doubtful for the May 24th tie. Though he has admitted his willingness to play in order to prove his fitness for the CL final, yet, Ferguson is cynical about his presence in the starting line-up. So, if you were to ask me, I would “rest” or substitute most players from Manchester United this game week.

As for Chelsea and Arsenal, they have nothing more to lose. Trust me when I tell you to retain Frank Lampard as your “Captain”. And even if he doesn’t repay you well this game-week, forget what I have said and offer it as a tribute to the contribution of this wonderful midfielder. Arshavin is back and boy, what a find he has been for Arsenal this season!! I am pretty sure he will end his first season in EPL with some fireworks.

Liverpool should have an easy last match as well and will imperatively sport their best side.

The other "Do or Die” matches in EPL will be interesting to watch but in terms of FPL, it will hardly be of significance. You simply don’t know whom to trust!

As an end-note, I made three changes to my squad in a last-ditch effort to climb into the top 15 of HSL. I am happy at the way am ending this online game, considering the fact that I joined in Game Week 7.

Last but not the least, here is my pick for the week:-

Schwarzer, Evans, Arbeloa, Cole A, Nasri, Lampard©, Gerrard, Benayoun, Fletcher, Bendtner, Anelka

Substitutes: Tristan, Figueroa and Taylor R

Adios, friend, till we "read" again!!

The Oeuvre: Ink and Pennings: PRIMA FACIE: Poem composed on 14th April 1999

 

Prima Facie

I WONDER WHY....

I search for words,

To express myself,

And relieve my thoughts...

And encarve my leaping emotions in the form of verses,

Etched permanently in lifeless paper!


I WONDER WHY...

I fancy myself as a poet,

Whose pen speaks more than just Ink,

But speaks of rivers and woods,

Of valleys and dale,

Of dainty peaks and damsels,

And mere topographical features!


I WONDER WHY...

I search for the past,

Dig out the present,

And imagine the future,

Through the words I create...

For years to come…

Until someone tells me:-

"Farewell to thee, my fren…O poet so known, yet so unknown!!"

SOARING EAGLES: Hat's off to NCPA!

SOARING EAGLES: Hat's off to NCPA!

Recently I spoke on Shared Values at the semi-annual meeting of the North Carolina Paralegal Association in Wilmington, North Carolina. This group of very dedicated men and women put on some excellent meetings that are designed to improve their skills and provide additional information that will help them succeed at what they do best.

They believe that knowledge is not only about technical skills but soft skills as well as evidenced by their willingness to have me speak on a value system for working and in their personal life.

More importantly and what amazed me was the attendence. As far as I know there were 140+ paralegals attending, most of whom paid for their own way! During this time of economic hardship the fact that these paralegals care enough about themselves and their career to attend on their own dime speaks well of this profession.

People ask me why I believe paralegals are Soaring Eagles. You only have to go to one of these meetings and talk to these talented individuals to find out that they soar higher and better than anyone else. How fortunate the profession of law has been to have the paralegal professional in its midst.

Law Firm Accountability

Do you hold your staff accountable for their actions? And if not, why not. High performance employees expect first to know your expectations. This has to be clear and specific. A good working relationship means each knows the others expectations. And yes staff should have the right to let you know their expectations with respect to their working with you.

And once everyone knows the expectations you have an obligation to give them the right tools to meet the expectations. If you have a faster computer but your staff have to get the work out but old equipment, logic simply doesn't follow. Make sure they can succeed at what you ask.

Everyone wants to know how they are doing and if you don't give feedback on what has been done then you are doing a disservice to your people. When we go into firms and talk with staff one of the main complaints (after we don't know what they expect) is 'we don't know if we are doing what they want'. Staff truly want to improve and be the best but until you tell them it is impossible to win the game.

Finally, you will never succeed as a supervisor of staff if you do not hold people accountable for their actions. This means they know the consequences or results of not meeting expectations. This doesn't mean you fire people. What it does mean is that they may have to revert back to training or be mentored more. The goal is to get people at their best. Unfortunately after you make all attempts to help get someone to meet the expectations it may well be you have the wrong person for the job and you must move on. Accountability is a part of working and a part of life. Until you can put this as a part of the equation of management you don't understand leadership.

MARKETING THROUGH CLIENT DISSATISFACTION

We have said repeatedly that when we ask law firms if they deliver client satisfaction every lawyer gives us a resounding yes (well 98%; 2% being honest). Then we ask them how and that is where we get the deafening silence.

We were recently discussing if we could get to the same point but with a different message and we started focusing on client dissatisfaction. We put it to a test and started asking some individual lawyers what they felt they had received as dissatisfaction from a client. Ironically most candidly admitted that it was personal contact with the lawyer or lack of feeling of personal interest.

Once we saw this trend our next question was how to fix it? In other words what steps could the lawyer or firm take that would address the issue. What surprised us was that the lawyers we talked to were more motivated to fix the problem when they could identify the problem.

Our best guess is that we like to solve problems and we feel good when we do. Our marketing suggestion for this week is to have your firm keep a list (honestly) of any hints from any client of something that made them unhappy or dissatisfied. There will be no recriminations by anyone but rather an honest survey of what staff and lawyers hear. Then summarize the list and come up with five top key problems. Create an action plan to correct the problems.

Most importantly, what is your quality assurance check? Keep track of improvements. Find out if it is working. Do your QA on client complaints.

The only thing that makes law firms different is how they deliver their service. Extraordinary client service means extraordinary efforts to be better than others.

THE RULE OF 4 IN MANAGING EMPLOYEES

I tend to believe that life can always be broken down into four rules on anything. Managing employees is no difference. The four rules with employees are very simple:

1. Expectations: Always let employees know what your expectations are with respect to their performance, the duties, and the delivery of the work product. Believe it or not the number one complaint we get from employees is they don't know what their employer wants?

2. Tools: You can't expect employees to perform unless they have good tools. This can be everything from good equipment, adequate work space, or the fastest computer in the office. Training is an essential part of the tools needed.

3. Feedback: You have to let employees know how they are doing. Again this ranks up there with expectations. Good employees can't become great employees unless they know if they are meeting your expectations. They definetely need to know if they are exceeding your expectations.

4. Accountability. Unless employees are held accountable for their actions you lose. If you aren't willing to draw the line in the sand employees will have no reason to meet your expectations.

I think what amazes me the most is when I teach this to employees and how it will work they are the most enthused. Employees welcome stability and the Rule of 4 provides stability.
