CASCADE INVESTMENT ADVISORS INC

In August 2010, Obama told NBC’s Brian Williams that he’d have a plan just as soon as he got back to work:


BRIAN WILLIAMS: Let’s talk about another topic that’s part of the firmament here and everywhere. And that’s the economy. The New York Times said this weekend, “President Obama has another new plan on the economy. Now would be a good time to find out about it.” Do you have anything new on the economy? And while you’ve been away, we had a horrible GDP number last month.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, look, we — we anticipated that the recovery was slowing. The economy is still growing, but it’s not growing as fast as it needs to. I’ve got things right now in — before Congress that we should move immediately. And I’ve said so before I went on vacation, and I’ll keep on saying when I — now that I’m back. We should be passing legislation that helps small businesses get credit that eliminates capital gains taxes so that they have more incentive to invest right now.

There are a whole host of measures we could take, no single element of which is a magic bullet but cumulatively can start continuing to build momentum for the recovery. But look, the — this was the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst recession since the Great Depression. And so, what we know is that we are going to have to slowly, steadily build confidence. Push more investment out there. Target areas like clean energy that we know are going to be be growth areas in the future.

Look at how we’re doing our infrastructure, so that we can maximize the amount of jobs that are created. So, there — there are a range of steps that I hope we can get bipartisan support for. But right now, we’re still — we’re in the season, political season, which means that for the next two months there’s going to be be constantly a contest in the minds of Members of Congress. And my Republican friends in Congress, between doing what the country needs and what they think may be advantageous in the — in terms of short term politics.

This is a 3kg right ovarian cyst that was growing inside my friend.

One fine morning, she woke with an allergic reaction to shellfish that manifest itself in one of her eyes. She went to check it out, and then also ask the doctor about the weird flat hard feeling she had in her abdomen.

Feel-feel, x-ray, results, panic, hospital, surgery....

Turns out there was this tumor growing inside of her, right.
Turns out the tumor was cancerous. They removed it, along with her right ovary (which the bastard was attached to).

Essentially, she had cancer, but had it all in one easy to remove balloon that was tethered to the ovary.

Just look at that monster.

From the Histopathology report:

The specimen consists of a right ovarian cyst measuring 22 x 15 x 12cm. Section shows a multiloculated cyst filled with mucinous fluid.

The section shows components of a cyst with a thin outer fibrous wall, and an inner layer of small locules and cysts. These microcysts are lined by a single layer of regular tall columnar cells, which are seen to invest fibrovascular papillary structures. Scattered goblet cells are seen, and the cells are mucin laden. Pseudostratification is apparent focally. filiform intracystic micropapillae with minimal stromal support are also seen. In most foci, the cell number remains single in number. The cystic spaces are filled with granular eosinophilic material, desquamated epithelial cells and lysed blood cells. Occasional inflammatory cells are noted. There appears to be no capsular invasion or lymphatic permeation in the sections examined. Mecrosis and psammoma bodies are absent. The lesion appears confined to the ovary.

EDIT: She's completely fine now and back at work and gone from someone I really like to truly one of the great people in my life.
