Anonymizer (Not really a "company visitor" at all but rather a software tool/service used to conceal a visitor's identity. It's interesting that any visitor would feel so threatened by this list of visitor business names that they would feel compelled to use this service. I tried to sign up for the affiliate program — figuring that more of my fine visitors might want to use this anonymizer service and, well, what the heck, shouldn't I earn something for the referral to their website? Alas, their affiliate sign up page is malfunctioning. I hope it's not an indicator of their software services. Yikes!)

uterine fibroids working for BC of CA trying to figure out how to get their
employer to pay for uterine artery embolization?)

means?)

About Genentech...Manufacturers of growth hormones and a company totally buried in gene research, this corporation was just this month named by FORTUNE Magazine as one of the "Top 100 Companies To Work For In America" for the third consecutive year. Although women with reproductive disease often think of pharmaceuticals as "the enemy" out to capitalize on their poor health, it is important to remember that these companies are comprised of thousands upon thousands of honest, hard-working people who believe in the work they are doing and strive every day to do their very best. Indeed, FORTUNE Magazine's "Top 100" list is one that is determined by the very employees who work for the companies polled. Pharmaceuticals make billions of dollars each year off of human tragedy — and it is hard sometimes to not be cynical about this fact. (Particularly in light of the occasional "events" involving scientific misconduct and undue pressure for clinicians to only report good results from clinical trials research!) Even so, hard working, well-intentioned people make up the backbone of these companies and are to be applauded for their contribution to improving all of our lives with the work they do and the products they manufacture. Disclosure: Not a single pharmaceutical has contributed financially to the creation or maintenance of this website. Furthermore, I do not work for the pharmaceutical industry in any capacity nor do I have any family members or loved ones who do so either (that I am aware of, that is.) |

Mark Monitor (Interesting company. Probably being used by organizations I've listed/linked here to monitor what I write about them. I'd like to go on public record saying that I don't have any hidden code or redirects that deliberately send visitors to a porno site instead of the company site listed. What you see is what you get — unless I made an inadvertent typing error. :) Furthermore, I've never received so much as a single request to remove a link or content appearing on this website as of yet. I imagine it will happen someday — as I'm certain that there are companies unhappy with what I've written about them. But, to date, it hasn't happened. Not even with the broad array of attorneys that seem to use this website like a revolving door without so much as a "how do you do." Not even one itsy bitsy email giving me a clue as to what they're looking at or why they're visiting. Sigh. Maybe I'm better off not knowing.)
Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, CT
Mayo
Clinic (This medical organization recently took major steps back into
the dark ages with their information on uterine fibroids, hysterectomy, and
uterine artery embolization recently placed online. It was a shocking shift
from their prior information — but one I figure was probably the product of
hiring someone new to rewrite the information or outsourcing for content.
They may have a "...tradition of trusted answers..." but they lost
me when I saw the information they uploaded 9/2000 on uterine fibroids. Also,
their "Hysterectomy — Myths vs. facts" highlighted box of information
is over-generalized content that is, in itself, a bit mythical in terms of
where they acquired their information. How about citing your sources Mayo?
The information presented in this box is not referenced by source and is most
definitely contrary to information published in the medical literature. Help
us out here some Mayo — a simple bibliography would be oh so nice.)

fibers in between your teeth that drive you nuts! :) Please forgive me the
short commercial — I truly do like their dental floss!)

Finally, I'd like to point out that this month there were so many public library visitors that I couldn't even begin to list them all. Yahoo!!! (and WELCOME!) to the women who've figured out this technology is available to them for free! Also, the above list is only a daily sampling — not the whole enchilada. Unlike the U.S. military (who use automated WHOIS, IP Block, and Trace Routing filters deciphering and categorizing the information on all visitors to their websites) the statistics tool my host provider uses is excellent but simply not "military intelligence quality" and it would take me several days to identify and list ALL of the monthly visitors to this website. Even so, this list alone is quite amazing to me.
Where are visitors logging on from?
(presented in
highest to lowest # of visitors order)
Due to the wide
variety of visitors from all around the world, I've become adept at using online
translation tools that are publicly available for reading my incoming email.
Unfortunately, translation tools do not exist for ALL languages. I wish they
did. I also wish the translation tools included medical terms. Sigh. Anyone
care to take on this project and invent these all encompassing software tools
for the internet? Can you even begin to fathom the impact this would have on
the world for such an ease in translation of the written language to be available
to everyone? Wow. What a potential for information sharing and world-wide communication
to solve problems like...uterine fibroids...
