You have a program you would like to add to the packages area?
Here are the steps necessary.
Software Packaging Overview
You must have SVN access to the packages source tree. If you have questions about SVN, the instructions at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Subversion) are quite helpful. NSLU2 SVN is available on the web at http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware
Note that packages are normally built on a HOST machine (like a desktop or laptop) running Linux. Some people compile natively on the NSLU2.
You should wait until you have compiled and tested your application before requesting write access. Once you have downloaded the development tools and package sources, and successfully built Unslung and all the packages, you are ready to add your own package.
To get SVN write permission so you can add your package to the Optware distribution, send your request to the developers mailing list (Join nslu2-developers on Yahoo Groups then send an email to
If you are cross-compiling on a normal Linux desktop or laptop (this is the preferred option for packages that can be cross-compiled) then the build system will compile the crosstool package for you, so you don't need to build it yourself any more. If you are native compiling, then see NativelyCompileUnslungPackages for details of the native compilation toolchain. Native package building should be possible from beginning to end using the following instructions.
Check out package sources from svn.nslu2-linux.org
Checking out package sources before you have SVN write access
First, you need to copy the SVN tree.
This will create an optware directory with the whole svn tree. Inside
Quick build notes: If you have not yet got a linux build system you can use windows, see below. If you type
If you are using a recent version of Ubuntu, the default shell will not allow the toolchain to compile (errors like "csu/version-info.h:1: error: missing terminating " character"), type
New (windows) build system: If you are starting from scratch with a windows box then the easiest route is install VirtualBox? (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and then install a version of linux into that, pick your favourite but I used Ubuntu 7.10. Create a machine with at least 6Gb of hard disc. You will need to install some packages to build with:
Note, if you are wanting to build for nslu2 (unslung), Ubuntu 9.10 cannot be used, as GCC 3.3 is needed (3.4 may suffice). Debian 5 still has this in its package feeds.
Developer (with SVN write access) way of checking out package sources
$ svn co https://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk optware
Building the ipkg package
$ cd optware; make <platform>-target $ cd <platform>; make directories toolchain ipkg-utils
Where <platform> can be one of nslu2, cs05q3armel, etc. See optware/platforms/ for available targets.
Guidelines for package developments
There is work in progress to show which practices have shown to be successful and therefor encouraged, and which aren't. Go to PackagingBestPractices to see these and add your own commments.
An especially important rule is that all packages must be able to be rebuilt from source from the SVN repository. We do not accept binary-only packages in the official Optware package repository (however, we are happy to point to other third-party repositories).
You might also find it helpful to know how our build machines are set up. This information can be found at:
Making a package using the template
Now comes the bulk of our work -- editing
Or use
For the remainder of the editing process follow the directions in
Now it's time for the moment of truth. From your
You may get errors; try to determine whether the error is occuring due to the makefile (i.e.
If you get an error during compilation that says keramik is not found, unset STYLE and try again. Keramik sets the STYLE variable which is also used by some packages.
If you want to know the value of any optware make variable, you can "make query-VAR_NAME" (very useful).
If you get an error building the ipk that tar doesn't recognise the --format option you need to upgrade to a newer version of GNU tar (at least 1.14). If you are running Suse 9.1 it is possible to uninstall the standard rpm (ignoring any dependency violations) and install the rpm from Suse 9.2. Similar tricks may be possible on other distros but make sure you have got the original package available to reinstall if needed.
Error Example 1: "copy and paste" was performed from above instructions to get following error message. www.mypackage.org is a fake one, it should be replaced with a real address and so as "mypackage" pacakge name.
Once you have your ipk, try to install it (
Check in your package sources to svn.nslu2-linux.org
Mark your package ready for testing
When your package is ready to be looked at by a core developer, add its name to one of the READY_FOR_TESTING lines in the root Makefile. In due course, someone will take a look at what you've done. If it works, and follows the Unslung.PackagingBestPractices, it will be uploaded to the feed. If not, it will be moved to a NEED_TO_BE_FIXED line, and a comment entered in the makefile describing the problem.
svn lock Makefile <edit the Makefile to add your lines> svn commit -m "package: comments as per guidelines" Makefile
If you are requesting native compilation for your package, please add a comment to the Makefile explaining concisely why the package cannot be cross-compiled. The process for this is:
You would be well advised to be on the #nslu2-linux irc channel when you do SVN commits, especially when you make your package READY_FOR_TESTING. That way you will get realtime comments from other developers.
Good luck with NSLU2 development!
If you see something unclear in this description, please be sure to update it.
Note regarding Libtool and Libtoolize
For building most packages, the GNU Libtool and Libtoolize are essential programs that need to be installed on the build system. These two programs interact with the ltmain.sh script included with most program tarballs. There are currently two version streams for these programs, version stream 1.5.x included with most older versions of Debian and Ubuntu etc, this is the version used by the NSLU2 Optware build machines. More recent versions of Ubuntu and other Linux distros have now upgraded Libtool and Libtoolize to the version stream 2.2.x. Unfortunately many Optware packages will not build with this later version. The reason - version stream 2.2.x is not fully backwardly compatible with ltmain.sh scripts from earlier versions. This backward compatibility problem is well documented on the internet, there are may recommended fixes and patches etc, most are not fully explored, some may fix one package but break another. To check the version of Libtool installed type at a console prompt : -
For Optware development it is recommended that the version of Libtool is downgraded to version 1.5.26 or lower, example - with a Ubuntu Intrepid build system install the Ubuntu Hardy version of the libtools.
Another possibility is to upgrade the version of the ltmain.sh script included with the program tarball to a version 2.2.x. This seems to work with some program tarballs but not all.
December 2008
Note regarding Build servers
As of 2010-Oct-26, the official builder is still on Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS.

Singers Katy Perry and Rita Ora stunned on the Moschino runway at Milan Fashion Week yesterday, February 20.
The pair flew to Milan after appearing at the Brit Awards on Wednesday (February 19) to support Jeremy Scott, the newly appointed creative director for Moschino as he debuted his first collection with the brand.
The Roar hitmaker took to the catwalk in a black leather mini dress with a matching coat and her look was finished off with the signature oversized Moschino necklace. Ora followed Perry donning a large black satin t-shirt dress.
Scott thanked the two pop beauties by posting a photo of the three together to his Instagram account with the caption, "Thank you @KatyPerry and @RitaOra for being the best gal pals a boy could dream of, I love you both so much!!!"

Mapping past election not as easy as it looks
Data is messy, and nothing illustrates that better than election data.
As part of our coverage of this year's election, we set out to create an interactive tool to show historical election data. Nothing fancy, just the typical red state/blue state breakdown for presidential elections, and county-by-county voting results for Governor and the US Congress.
Sounds simple, right?
But presenting the presidential election data that way – each state red or blue – gets problematic when you go back in time. As recently as 2000, a third party candidate made a strong showing (Ralph Nader, running on the Green Party ticket, amassed nearly 3 million votes). In 1960 and 1968, third party candidates received votes in the electoral college (Harry Byrd and George Wallace, respectively). In 1948 there were four major party candidates, and as you go back in time, third-party candidates become the norm, not the exception.
Then there are elections for the United States Senate. From 1789 until 1912, senators from New York were chosen by the state legislature. When Aaron Burr was selected to replace Philip Schuyler in 1791, for example, it was by a five vote-margin in the assembly and a 12-4 vote in the state senate. Citizens in New York did not get to vote for their Senators until 1916, when incumbent Charles Whitman garnered 850,020 votes, easily defeating Samuel Seabury with his 686,862.
The vote for New York's Governor has its own idiosyncrasies. Prior to 1950, the governor and lt. governor ran on separate ballots, leading to several occasions where the governor and his lieutenant were elected from opposing parties. The governor's term was originally three years, but the length has been changed four times, and has been four years since 1938. And as with the Senate races, getting detailed county-by-county breakdowns of the voting totals gets tricky as you go back in time.
Then there are the races for the state legislature and US House, whose district lines are subject to change every ten years. As the lines are redrawn, year-to-year analysis becomes extraordinarily complicated. You need look no further than Louise Slaughter for an example of this. When she was first elected in 1986, she represented New York's 30th
Congressional District. After each Census, that district was redrawn and renamed. In the 1990s she represented the 29th
district, and from 2002-2012 she has represented the 28th
district. This fall, she's running against Maggie Brooks for the seat in the newly christened 25th
Of course, there's also the issue of the map itself changing. In 1790, there were just two counties west of Albany. And as you work backwards in time, states drop out of the US Map, or in some cases changes their borders.

[From Ralph Brown Draughon Library Addition Dedication Program: Building on Excellence, Nov.8, 1991]
Nowhere has "Building on Excellence" been more significant than in the continued development of Auburn University's library resources. The first library of East Alabama Male College opened in 1859 and was housed in a room of the original college building, Old Main. The book collection was begun by the Wirt and Webster literary societies.
By 1876, the college was receiving some government documents and several newspapers, and a year later the school catalog reported that the library was supported by moneys from "the recent appropriation made by the state legislature and a small annual fee by each student."
But it was not until the late 1880s and its establishment in Samford Hall, built after a fire destroyed Old Main in 1887, that the library began significant growth.
The library occupied, by the late 1890s, three rooms on the second floor of Samford, contained 8,000 volumes and was open eight hours a day. It subscribed to 92 periodicals.
Electric lights were placed in the library rooms in 1904 for night use. By the end of that year, the number of volumes had increased to 20,926.
By 1906, the library was rapidly filling the space allotted to it in Samford.
Classification of all holdings with the Dewey Decimal System began the next year, and two years later the library moved into its first building, now known as Mary Martin Hall.
Then called the Carnegie Library, it was built with a grant from Andrew Carnegie and opened Jan. 11, 1909, at a cost of $30,000 with a capacity for 60,000 volumes.
It was during the years of the Carnegie Library that a branch library system developed on campus, with libraries scattered from Comer Hall on Ag Hill to Veterinary Medicine.
By 1940, the Carnegie building had been enlarged to double the capacity for the book collection and to provide two additional reading rooms. The Library of Congress classification system was adopted in 1957.
In the early 1960s, the university undertook the construction of a major new library building.
Begun in 1962 and dedicated on November 5, 1963, the 172,000-square-foot building made it possible to bring all campus library resources together under one roof. It had a capacity for one million volumes and furnished seating for 1,200. The library provided 98 carrels for faculty and graduate students, special reading rooms, a 108-seat auditorium and special music rooms.
In 1965, the library was named for Ralph Brown Draughon, AU's 10th president.
In 1979, the President and Mrs. Harry M. Philpott presented the library with its one millionth volume, The Great Bible, printed in 1566. This bible is the first complete translation of the Old and New Testaments.
In 1988, under the leadership of President James E. Martin and the Board of Trustees, the university began a major construction project to double the floor space to 380,000 square feet, increase the capacity to 2.5 million volumes and to renovate the original building.
The addition increased seating in the library to 2,000. The project also included a 345-car parking deck to improve access to the library.
The $20.5 million expansion and renovation is the largest single construction project ever undertaken on campus. It was made possible through a variety of sources: $7.4 million from a state bond issue; $5.4 million from a university bond issue; $2.7 million from other university funds; and $5 million from private contributions.
[Some six months after the RBD addition dedication ceremony, the Association of Research Libraries, at their 1992 spring meeting, "invited" Auburn University Libraries to become their 120th member.]

Real U.S. 1946 - 1964 minted coin cut out. The coin is made of 90% silver and has a special cut design.
First, a small hole is drilled into the coin, then a very fine jeweler's saw blade is inserted through the hole and worked around the coin's design, cutting away the background, thus leaving the coin's figure floating inside its outer edge. The figure is then selectively layered in brilliant gold and silver. All of this work is done by hand.
Each work of art comes in a jewelry box on a copper rope chain layered in 14K gold.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) -- Algeria's energy minister says a new oil field containing an estimated 1.3 billion barrels has been discovered.
Youcef Yousfi told the state news agency Saturday that the discovery near the large oil fields in the southern region of Hassi Messaoud is one of the most important in the last 20 years.
He added the state oil company, Sonatrach, will rely on unconventional techniques to extract 50 percent of the reserves, including hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking.
The field will be exploited in the next three to four years following the necessary studies, the report added.
Algeria, an energy giant in Africa that already is one of the largest natural gas suppliers to Europe, had been concerned about declining oil reserves.

Orlando Versus Boston PreviewEastern Conference Finals
#2 Orlando (59-23) vs. #4 Boston (50-32)
Season series: Orlando, 3-1
Boston can win if…Kendrick Perkins and Rasheed Wallace can guard Dwight Howard one on one in the post effectively enough that the Celtics do not have to trap Howard and go into full rotation versus Orlando's armada of three point shooters. Perkins has enough lower body strength to battle Howard for post position, while in previous years Wallace used his length, savvy and mobility to frustrate Howard at times.
Naturally, it will also be beneficial for the Celtics if Rajon Rondo can post what Cleveland's Shaquille O'Neal termed "historical triple doubles." Paul Pierce and Ray Allen had some good moments versus the Cavs but were not hugely productive overall; the Celtics will need to get more out of both future Hall of Famers in order to dethrone the reigning Eastern Conference Champion Magic. Kevin Garnett still seems to be dragging his right leg defensively but he has regained enough lift to once again be effective in the post as a turnaround jump shooter and the Celtics will need for him to average at least 15 ppg with a decent shooting percentage in order to beat the Magic.
Orlando will win because…the Magic are talented, deep, defensive-minded, unselfish and focused--which is not to say that the Celtics do not also possess many of those qualities but the Magic have them in abundance. While I do think that the Celtics are better equipped--both from a personnel standpoint and schematically--to guard Howard than many other teams, the Magic are an excellent passing team loaded with great shooters, so the Celtics will have their hands full. The Celtics were a below average rebounding team during the regular season, they struggled at times at home and they gave up a lot of leads; Cleveland did not exploit any of those tendencies in the previous round but Orlando is likely to take advantage of Boston's weaknesses.
This is Vince Carter's opportunity to change some of the negative aspects of his reputation by playing a key role on a team that advances to the NBA Finals and, possibly, wins a championship; his matchup versus Ray Allen should be very interesting to watch, as either player could very well be called upon to hit a game-winning shot during this series. I think that Carter has more bounce left in his legs than a lot of people realize and that he will have a good series, though because of Orlando's balance his overall numbers may not be eye-popping.
Other things to consider: The Celtics just took out the number one overall seed in this year's playoffs. Rondo is emerging right before our eyes as a top five point guard, while Kevin Garnett had a greater impact versus the Cavs than anyone could have reasonably expected based on how he looked during the regular season. The Celtics are a former champion who should not be taken lightly and they did push Orlando to seven games last season despite being without the services of Garnett--but the Magic were also shorthanded due to Jameer Nelson's injury and the Magic have upgraded their roster since last season, adding Carter, Matt Barnes and Brandon Bass.
Did the Celtics really rejuvenate themselves versus Cleveland or did the Cavs just follow the lead of their superstar and quit when things got tough? With all due respect to Boston--and I have a lot of respect for the Celtics--I think that the latter had more to do with the result of the Boston-Cleveland series than the former. The Celtics will play hard versus the Magic and each game will likely be very closely contested but I expect that Orlando will win in fewer than seven games.

UNION, N.J. - Police in northern New Jersey found an emaciated 4-year-old boy in an apartment Tuesday morning with the body of his mother, who appeared to have been dead about five days.
The boy told police he tried to get food from the refrigerator but couldn't open the door, Union Police Director Daniel Zieser said. The boy also had rubbed lotion on his mother in an apparent attempt to help her, leaving behind his handprints, Zieser said.
"He made a statement to the officer that 'There's plenty of food in the refrigerator, but I couldn't open the door,'" Zieser told New York radio station WCBS. "So that's kind of sad that nobody checked on him, no family members. It's sad, very sad."
The discovery was made Tuesday after a maintenance worker reported a bad odor coming from the apartment. The door was ajar but locked with a chain.
Once police forced their way in, they found the woman's body in a bedroom. The county medical examiner was conducting an autopsy to determine the time and cause of death.
The woman wasn't being identified until relatives could be notified. Police don't suspect foul play.
The boy was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Liturgical Preparation
Sacristans assist in the immediate preparation of the materials needed for a Mass. Generally, these people have a particular Mass or Masses at which they serve on a regular basis. Before Mass, sacristans are present to help coordinate liturgical ministers, make sure all the necessary materials are present, and answer any questions that might arise. These individuals hold paid positions from Campus Ministry.
Liturgy Preparation Team
The Liturgy Preparation Team is comprised of liturgical ministers who assist at our Sunday and weekday celebrations. The group is open to the entire student body, but priority is given to those who are fully and actively engaged in the liturgical life of campus and demonstrate a strong commitment to the celebration of and implementation of liturgy at Marquette.
The Liturgy Preparation Team's ultimate goal is to help creatively shape the liturgical life on campus on a weekly basis. The team also prepares and shapes large university liturgies such as: Mass of the Holy Spirit, Family Weekend Mass, Mission Week Mass, and the Baccalaureate Mass, among others. Hours of hard work and preparation culminate in a beautiful experience of prayer and community.
The Liturgy Preparation Team also recruits and trains new liturgical ministers. They plan and prepare prayer experiences, community building events, and procedure training sessions for all Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Servers, and Ministers of Hospitality.
The team meets on Monday evenings for an hour and a half to review past liturgies, prepare future celebrations, and plan events for the liturgical ministry community. At these meetings, the team members pray together and read the scriptures for the upcoming Sunday, so as to discuss ways to live out the message and meaning of the liturgy in their everyday lives.

Originally Posted on ILLUME magazine.
Everyone has been talking about the controversy surrounding Lowe's Hardware stores pulling their advertising from TLC's "All American Muslim" reality TV show, because of the email campaign from Conservative Christian "Florida Family Association."
But besides the few email complaints to Lowe's or signing of petitions online, there hasn't been much creative response from the Muslim-American community.
That's when the comedic duo, Rizwan Manji and Parvesh Cheena (of "Outsourced"), along with writer/director Gregoy Bonsignore decided to take matters in their own hands and create the fake ad, "The Un-Aired Lowe's Commercial."
We got to talk to the three about why they made the video and what they thought of the controversy about the show.
Why did you guys produce this video?
Rizwan: Myself, Greg and Parvesh were sitting around Parvesh's place talking about this whole Lowe's situation and I kept seeing all the reaction all over Facebook and Twitter. So we thought, as artists we can use our creativity, to make a funny video which makes a point about a greater issue. So within an hour of coming up with the idea, we went down to Lowe's and started filming it!
Gregory (Director of the video): We wanted to do a satirical piece to show the type of "stereotypical scary" Muslims which the Florida Family Association are so concerned are not being shown on the TV program. The video was shot on multiple iphones, in case we got kicked out of the store quickly.
Have you guys watched "All American Muslim" and what do you think about it?
Rizwan: Yes, I have seen it and like it. It's a typical reality show which shows the daily lives of people and I have been to Michigan before to shoot a film. It's an accurate portrayal of the people there, who are very friendly and I enjoy the show.
Gregory: I have watched it and although its format is not very unique, it's subject – Muslim-Americans is what makes it interesting. It shows that Muslims now have their own reality show like other groups about suburban life in America.
Parvesh: ALL-AMERICAN MUSLIM seems harmless. Please. Everyone is the same. We are all Americans. Sheesh.
What do you guys think of the reaction from groups such as the Florida Family Association and Corporations such as Lowe's who have pulled their advertising from "All American Muslim"?
Gregory: I'm not really surprised with the reactions and totally bigoted response from some of the public, because there is not enough education about Islam in America. But for a corporation like Lowe's to react in the way they did, is totally unacceptable.
Rizwan: The biggest shock for me was that Lowe's sent a letter to the Florida Family Association thanking them for pointing out the concerns of the show and asking them to pull their advertising. It's not okay that they caved in this way.
Parvesh: Lowe's pulling their spots is silly and just so dumb and really foolish for a major company. I liked Lowe's. I used to love their ads that added the letter T to the end which became Lowe'sT. Ha. Bad Lowe's. They should apologize!
Do you think there is any correlation with how "Outsourced" was cancelled and the reaction that "All American Muslim" is getting, that the American public is not ready to see different ethnic and religious groups on TV?
Rizwan: There was also a loud and vocal minority who expressed some hatred about Indians and having a show like "Outsourced" on mainstream TV. There were also some facebook hate groups and websites which made threats against us, but I don't want to be pessimistic about it. It was only a small, yet vocal, minority. We did not get any advertisers pulling ads from "Outsourced" and there was a good amount of viewers, but we just ran out of time to increase our viewership.
Parvesh: OUTSOURCED getting pulled doesn't really have any racial correlation, In my opinion. We just got bad ratings when they moved us to 10:30pm for a show that became popular with families. Bad scheduling killed the show but we gotta move on.
Gregory: As a writer and director myself (Greg was a writer for the show "Lie to Me"), I feel that TV tends to normalize things. From past shows which had African-Americans and women early on, it helps the viewers to get to know these different types of people which they may not normally get to interact with. I believe it's important for more shows about Indians, Arab-Americans and Muslims to be on mainstream TV. We are currently working on a TV pilot about a Muslim American family which we are pitching to producers and hoping to get into development soon.

StarCraft's line is expanding with new shirts, a first look at the MegaBloks Viking, a leather wallet, and StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres, which has been confirmed by Metzen to be a novelization of StarCraft: Ghost, the game that was and then never was.
Warcraft's wares continue along a familiar path with a slew of new T-shirts as well as what appears to be a beverage called the Forsaken Elixir of Undead ... I really have no idea, since it's most likely a joke slide. Metzen also previewed the covers for the forthcoming original graphic novels Horde and Alliance, coming out later this year.

Sadly, news that Robert Downey Jr. has left Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller "Gravity" has a certain whiff of inevitability about.
RDJ's departure from "Gravity" is just the latest setback for the production but shouldn't be a fatal one since his role was fairly minor. "Gravity" has cycled through more prospective female leads than any film in recent memory, though Sandra Bullock may yet sign on.
What's got us sad is Downey instead will probably star in "How to Talk to Girls," based on the self-help book by the 9-year-old Alec Greven, according to Heat Vision.
U.S. & World
It seems doubtful that Downey will play a character based on Greven, but The Playlist has a funny-cuz-it's-probably-true guess as to the plot:
Robert Downey Jr. will play a man looking for love who finds all the answers in a little advice book he finds at his nephew/niece's house. Soon he finds women are giving him another look, but more importantly, he learns that true love is out there for everyone. So there you go Hollywood, we just gave you the logline for a $100 million romcom right there. Please feel free to send us a check.
What's got us truly nervous about this project is that Downey's wife Susan, who's done a miraculous job reviving her husband's career, will be co-producing with Shawn Levy, a man who thinks schmaltz and pratfalls are essential nutrients.

The Daily Grill in Santa Monica introduced their New Simply 600 Menu featuring American style cuisine containing 600 calories or less.
Vice President of Culinary Phil Kastel dished out a delectable display of meals from their extensive lunch menu catering to a variety of appetites: salads, fish burgers, tacos, chicken, seafood—and pasta.
Kastel said he visited Daily Grill restaurants across the country sharing tips on maintaining the flavor of these favorite foods without the heavy calories.
Established in 1988 in Brentwood, California, The Daily Grill is known for serving classic American fare in the tradition of upscale New York City grills and is located in nineteen locations including Washington, D.C, Texas, Washington State and Oregon.
"It was just a matter of sharing information with the other chefs," explained Kastel. "Many discovered that just a little less olive oil could reduce the caloric count considerably in most dishes."
And, fortunately for the guests attending the event, a first-hand account of the new low calorie dishes were readily available to sample—with surprisingly good results.
Known for their emphasis on flavor and freshness, each light dish featured hearty full-sized portions.
"The Simply 600 Menu items are designed for people who want to enjoy great food without the guilt," said Kastel. "Our Simply 600 menu offers lower calorie options for lunch and dinner, but you'd never guess that you're limiting your caloric intake."
Known for serving only the freshest food at each of its 21 restaurants, the Daily Grill's Simply 600 menu includes lower calorie options but isn't just a menu full of salads. There's something for every palate.
Here's a look at what's available on the Simply 600 Menu:
Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad seared rare and lightly seasoned with Cajun spices.
Thai Noodle Chicken Salad with Napa cabbage, mandarin oranges, snow peas.
A Daily Grill favorite—the Simply 600 Burger is hand formed and served with a side of asparagus.
Turkey Club Sandwich featuring lean turkey, bacon and avocado with a side of fresh fruit.
Tacos with black beans and Spanish rice and topped with southwest dressing.
Blackened Tilapia is topped with a lemon butter caper sauce and served with a grilled vegetable skewer
Idaho grilled Trout with Daily Grill's signature peanut cole slaw.
Grilled Herb Chicken Breast served with spinach and fresh vegetables.
And for meat eaters, tender Petite Filet Mignon.
The Simply 600 menu ranges from 318 to 590 calories. And, while substitutions are allowed, it may increase the calories.
Dishes are available for lunch and dinner, with the exception of the Los Angeles International Airport Daily Grill.

The Noetic Effects of Sin
The noetic effects of sin refers to the affect sin has on the mind of every person. Sin impacts our ability to think rationally, especially about God, Who has made Himself known through general revelation and special revelation. God's revelation disrupts the mind of man, confronting wrong thoughts and inviting conformity to the mind of God. Continue reading

Scarlets and Wales centre Jonathan Davies wowed hundreds of visitors at the Blue Lagoon waterpark near Narberth where he took on a more unusual opposition in the form of pirates.
Jonathan was at the waterpark to meet fans and guests following his success on the Lions tour of Australia earlier in the summer. He also came face-to-face with the Pirates of the Blue Lagoon.
"I'm used to an opposition on the rugby field with a ball, not a bunch of mean looking pirates – but it was great to see everyone at the Blue Lagoon and have a laugh with the pirate carrying out their antics," said Jonathan.
The Scarlets star is no stranger to the Blue Lagoon or Bluestone where the side has met for teambuilding and personal holidays.
The Pirates of the Blue Lagoon is an interactive adventure with music, games and entertainment taking place at the waterpark throughout the school holidays.

TSA powders restrictions
- From June 30th, 2018 new TSA rules will restrict the transport of powders for all passengers traveling to the United States.
- Passengers will not be able to transport powder products larger than 350ml (12oz) in the cabin as part of hand luggage.
- Powder products larger than 350ml (12oz) will only be permitted as part of checked luggage.
Restricted items
As a health and safety measure and for the security of everybody on board the aircraft, all baggag transported in the hold and in the cabin is inspected by airport staff. If you have any doubts as to what items are permitted to travel with us, we advise you to review the list of exceptions for transporting special items.
What items are prohibited to be taken in the hold and in the cabin of the aircraft?
Animals, plants or their derivatives
With the aim of preventing the introduction of plagues and animal agents carrying diseases, the state institutions restrict the entry of animals, plants, seeds, herbicides and certain foods; these items will not be allowed on board without the proper authorization for importing them and the required health and phytosanitary certification.
Hazardous items
In order to ensure the safety of the flight, the following items are prohibited:
- Flammable liquids
- Bleach or paint thinners
- Explosive materials
- Poisons
- Acids
- Compressed gas
- Electric skateboards (hoverboards, solo wheels, airwheels, mini-segways, balance wheels) powered by lithium-ion batteries.
- Cigarette lighters, if traveling to or through the United States.
If for any reason you are taking any of these items on board and you fail to declare them, you are violating the civil aviation regulations.
Do you have any questions about any item in particular? Review the complete list of prohibited items released by the Department of National Security of the United States of America Transportation Security Administration (available in English).
What items are you not permitted to take with you in your carry-on baggage?
Any type of fire arms (including replicas and toy guns), liquids, gels, aerosols, pepper spray and sharp objects, such as: knifes, nail files, nail clippers, shavers, handheld tools or pliers, baseball bats and pool cues. These can only be carried in the airplane hold.
You may transport firearms provided that they are duly declared and unloaded. Failure to comply with this is an infringement on the civil aviation regulations. We advise you to find out about the local legislation in the country to which you are traveling; for example in Brazil they must be transported in special containers. There are local legal provisions - such as in the case of Brazil - that stipulate firearms must be transported inside special containers.
If your fare includes flights of other airlines you must contact each airline to find out about the conditions and regulations for transporting firearms. Your freight is not permitted on trips in connection with American Airlines due to the restrictions of this company.
Liquids, gels and aerosols permitted in carry-on baggage
Some countries have restrictions as to which liquids may be taken aboard.
In order to bring liquids on board such as aerosols, perfumes, gels, spirits, creams, stick deodorants, lipsticks or toothpaste, those products must be in containers of not more than 100 ml each, placed in a plastic bag, which allows for visual verification of the contents, no more than 1 liter in volume and containing a system for opening and sealing. Each passenger may bring no more than one bag.
You can travel with up to 5 liters of alcohol in your carry-on or checked baggage, as long as they don't exceed 70% alcohol and local authorities permit it. For domestic and international flights from Brazil, keep in mind that the maximum allowance is 1 liter per bottle.
Items that exceed 100 ml may be permitted on board in the following cases:
- Medicines: asked for a medical prescription that certifies your need to use the medication during your trip, taking into account the hours of flight and connections.
- Food for infants: provided you are traveling with infants.
- Dietetic foods: which should be for consumption during the flight and the amounts should correspond to the duration of the trip. In this case you may be asked to prove that it is genuinely a dietetic requirement.
Smart bags restriction
You can transport "smart bags, smart luggage or smart baggage" if the battery is removable. For safety reasons, they must be removed before boarding. If it does not meet this condition, you must verify that the battery does not have more than 0.3 g of lithium metal or 2.7 Wh. If it exceeds these numbers, you will not be able to travel with your bag and we will not be able to be responsible for its safekeeping.
Duty Free purchases
On trips with layovers you may only purchase in the final airport or aboard the final flight, before arriving at your destination.
- Duty Free purchases in Brazil may only exceed the quantity of 5 containers and 1 liter each, when the purchase is made at the final destination. When there is a connection we obey the per person limit of 5 containers of up to 1 liter each.
- If you have a connection in Europe or the United States, you may purchase on any segment of the trip or on board the aircraft. But it's important to request and hold on to the receipt, which should accompany the products purchased, in a transparent, sealed bag and contain the series number. The receipt is used to show that the purchase was made at a time not greater than 48 hours prior to the flight.
- In North America the transport of liquids in excess of 100 ml, even when purchased via Duty Free, may only be done when they are in transparent, translucent or colored containers. Metal or opaque containers may only be transported in the baggage compartment (checked baggage).
In some countries, airport Duty Free purchases are only allowed if products are delivered to the passenger at the door of the aircraft.
If you have any questions about prohibited items, please feel free to contact us through the Contact Center.

This is an excerpt — pick up Friday's Butler Eagle to read the full article.
While many thought the 17-year magicicadas that arrived three weeks ago from below the Earth's surface would cover trees, sheds and porches in the southern part of the county, the harmless thumb-sized bugs have been sporadically distributed throughout Butler County.
No maps are available of the specific locations of the cicadas in Butler County, but they might cover a property on one side of a municipality and nary a red-eyed representative can be found on the another.
Such is the case in East Butler, where the eastern end near the Butler Hunting and Fishing Club is polluted with cicadas, while the western area near the ball fields is devoid of the cyclical bugs.
Their distinctive "song," which has been likened to the sound effects used to signal an approaching alien space ship in 1960s science fiction movies, can be deafening as millions of the insects call simultaneously for a mate.
They have unexpectedly made their home in many northern neighborhoods, such as Chicora and West Sunbury, when maps of "Brood VIII" show them coming out from the middle of the county and south.
Michael Skvarla, the director of the insect identification lab at Penn State Extension headquarters in State College, Centre County, said many factors weigh into the distribution of the cicadas.
Factors include the type of trees in the area, where eggs were laid 17 years ago, whether larva underground was killed by soil excavation or logging activities that eliminate the larva's main food source: tree roots.

Division II members may soon have more flexibility to support their student-athletes' nutritional needs.
The Division II Presidents Council at its meeting in Indianapolis Thursday unanimously supported a proposal that would allow schools to provide unlimited meals and snacks for all student-athletes in conjunction with their athletics participation. Similar legislation was passed by Division I in April.
The legislative proposal continues the division's efforts to deregulate its manual and ensure appropriate benefits for its student-athletes. If passed at the 2015 NCAA Convention in January, the legislation would apply to scholarship and non-scholarship athletes and take effect Aug. 1, 2015.
The change is intended to provide more flexibility to student-athletes in training, who may not have time to grab food at a dining facility in between practice and class, for example. The proposed legislation is not designed to replace meals that are already provided through a dining plan or off-campus food stipend. It also would not negate the existing "occasional meals" legislation permitting schools to provide a team meal sporadically without tying it to practice or a game.
Council members called the move a "no-brainer."
"Student-athletes, especially when they're in training, are burning a lot of calories, and just eating from their meal plan may not be enough to cover their nutritional needs," said California Baptist University President Ronald Ellis. "Student-athlete health is paramount, and the deregulation will reflect more common sense."
Each individual school would need to determine how, or if, they would utilize the new allowances. The Division II Legislation Committee, which recommended the Council sponsor the meals and snacks proposal, predicted athletics department budgets would prevent schools from providing exorbitant amounts or types of food.
In addition to benefiting student-athletes, the proposed legislation would reduce the monitoring burden on athletics staff, which has been a goal for the division over the last several years.
"We're allowing universities and their staffs to use their better judgment in ensuring the safety and health of their students," said Grand Valley State University President Tom Haas, who serves as chair of the Presidents Council. "Good judgment will reign."
Also at the meeting:
- The Council approved in legislative form proposals that would require schools to employ a full-time compliance officer with no coaching duties, effective Aug. 1, 2018, and employ a full-time athletics director with no coaching duties, effective Aug. 1, 2015. For the latter proposal, a grandfathering clause would enable current athletics directors with coaching responsibilities to continue in both roles at their school until they cease to hold one or either of the roles. Read more about the personnel proposal here.
- The Council voted not to eliminate a provision in the Division II Constitution permitting football-specific voting. The Management Council recommended the Presidents Council not sponsor a proposal to terminate the provision, which prevents schools and conferences that do not sponsor football from voting on issues that apply only to that sport. Read more here.
- The Council supported a proposal that would deregulate the way schools can publicize signings of prospective student-athletes. Currently, schools are not permitted to host a press conference, reception, dinner or other similar event to celebrate or announce individuals who have signed a written commitment. The proposed legislation would allow such celebrations.

Peaceful Day For New York City — No Murders, Shootings, or Stabbings
Something New York police have not seen, maybe ever, happened Monday. From Sunday evening to yesterday, not one person was stabbed, shot, or murdered. What an amazing occurance. Though the crime rates of violent crimes in New York City have been steadily dropping since 1990, a day of no violence has not been seen since any member of the police force can remember.
How great would it be for America's most well known city to live without violent crimes. It is an impossible thing to imagine. But, New York has been getting closer to a reduced crime rate for two decades now.
Can't quite imagine why a day without purposeful death is such an unique thing?
This year to date, there have been 361 murders within the city. 1,489 shootings across the Big Apple. For one day to go without any of these terrible actions must have been such a great experience for not just the police, but the citizens of the big city.
They have been seeing these changes come slowly since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1990 the police and city officials began their wide spread attempts to lessen the violent crime rates. That year there were 2,262 murders in the city. Last year there were 462. That is a grand accomplishment.
A day without stabbings, shootings, and murder must give New York a boost of encouragement. Keep it up NYC.

Press Release: WEPCO, Inc. Announces Launch of BigFoot™ Portable Crane Base Innovation
WEPCO, Inc. announces the BigFoot™ portable crane base, designed to safely anchor cranes, vacuum lifters, robotics, and similar floor-mounted devices.
BigFoot solves the material handling industry's need for a portable base that is truly easy to move with a forklift or pallet jack. Virtually any floor-mounted device that makes human-scale lifting or repetitive motions easier can be mounted to it. Instead of floor-bolted anchors and concrete footings, BigFoot is easily moved to where it is most needed. Instead of clunky, structural steel plates, BigFoot portable base is ergonomically designed and rounded with a beveled edge to work well in tight situations. "BigFoot is the ideal solution where both stability and portability are crucial – and no more skinned shins," says WEPCO CEO Chris Paulsen.
BigFoot portable base is durably cast in safety-yellow polymer concrete. It will not chip, flake or absorb moisture and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Weighing in at 2000 lbs., it has a relative capacity of up to 150 lbs. on a 10-foot arm. It is topped by a standard mounting interface which most devices can easily attach to. An adapter or custom-mount is available. Eight heavy-duty articulating leveling jacks make the base stable and easily moved by pallet jack or forklift.
Device manufacturers and equipment distributors can pair BigFoot with OEM components such as jib cranes, vacuum lifters, light-duty robots and manipulator arms to free them up for new applications and configurations. Manufacturing and distribution facility managers can attach lifting or robotic devices to the BigFoot portable base to reconfigure floor space more easily, more often. Systems integrators can use BigFoot to build more flexibility and efficiency into their designs. Since it costs less than a permanent-bolted base, it is economical to specify.
WEPCO is marketing the BigFoot portable base to device manufacturers, equipment distributors, facility managers and systems integrators. Read more on the WEPCO website or call 570-655-5951.
WEPCO, Inc. has nearly 40 years of experience with a full range of engineered solutions for high throughput, mission-critical material handling projects. From their headquarters in northeastern Pennsylvania, WEPCO serves customers nationally.

Learning the Principles by Heart
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America..." "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!..." 1
"Sisters are we, Spurs always true, our hearts ring out for the yellow and blue..."
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both..." 2
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need." 3
I've memorized these lines. I imagine many of you carry similar words in the recesses of your memory as well. I learned some of these words by heart because I was instructed to do so or found it convenient to do so. Some words just weaseled their way in and took up residence.
In my early years as a Unitarian Universalist, a minister challenged the congregation to learn by heart the 7 UU principles and promised a prize to anyone who could successfully recite them. So I set out to memorize the principles and quizzed myself in the car with my handy pocket card as a prompt on the seat next to me.
[miming hands on a steering wheel]
OK, We Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote:
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person. (that's the easiest to remember)
- Justice, equity and compassion... Justice, equity, compassion in what? Oh, yeah - Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
- Then something about encouraging spiritual growth... Right,... Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning (that one's easy too)
- Then the one about democracy in our congregations and in society, but what's that first part? Oh, the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
- Next is the one that sounds like the pledge of allegiance but not quite. The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Right, we do it for the world, not just the US, and we add peace. That's good.
- And finally the interdependent web. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Whew. I did it. I learned them by heart. Pretty much. I didn't think I really merited a prize, but I was glad I had put in the effort to learn the principles by heart.
Learn by heart. Except that my heart wasn't really involved in this exercise. I was using my mind and occasionally my eyes glancing toward my cheat sheet. It was an academic exercise rather than a spiritual practice. The principles remained abstractions to me, worthy aspirations which didn't really affect me. They were floating around my mind, but were not having a real impact on my body. I didn't feel any different for having recited them.
What would it be like to really accept one another, to genuinely practice equity and compassion in the human relations with the actual humans in my life? As I genuinely imagined this possibility, I could feel something shift in my body; I could feel my heart open. It felt different to consider the principles this way. There were certain words that had an impact on me. Worth and dignity. Equity. Compassion. Search for truth. Interdependent web.
So there I was driving down the highway feeling my heart opening at the thought of treating the people in my life with genuine compassion, honoring their inherent worth and dignity. It felt good. I felt hopeful. Until suddenly two lanes of traffic were closed, and people had ignored the signs and were cutting in front of me. My heart immediately clamped shut as I started expressing my righteous outrage at these inconsiderate bozos. No compassion for what might be going on for them, how they might be feeling. No sense of equity. Those weren't people with inherent worth and dignity in those cars. I realized it wasn't so easy to carry these principles in my heart. The academic exercise of memorizing the words was much simpler than actually changing how I treated my fellow human beings.
As I considered the challenge of moving the principles out of the theoretical realm and into the sphere of everyday living, I remembered a challenge from another Unitarian Universalist minister, Harry Meserve, "If you were arrested for being a Unitarian Universalist, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" 4 What might it mean to alter behavior according to these principles such that a case could be made to convince an impartial jury to convict a person of Unitarian Universalism.
Let's consider Terry and Pat, a Unitarian Universalist couple. They have amassed enough incriminating evidence of living by the principles to be successfully tried and sentenced as genuine Unitarian Universalists.
They are parents who are actively involved in the Parent Teacher Organization at their child's middle school. Other parents are advocating removing some books which describe sexual development during adolescence from the school library.
Terry and Pat are frustrated and astounded by the idea of banning books from the library. Terry believes that they need to stand up for justice and fight these parents every step of the way to prevent books being removed and limiting information available to support the young teens in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Terry dismisses the other parents as close-minded, ignorant, and uptight and frequently expresses this opinion during the meetings at high volume with colorful language.
Pat more calmly but just as passionately argues with these other parents to the point of utter exasperation with how they just don't get it. Until one time, Pat realizes that the other parents have the exact same feeling from their side of the argument. Utter exasperation with Pat who just doesn't get it. In that moment of recognition, Pat sees them as fellow human beings rather than as inferior ignoramuses. Pat realizes that by dismissing them with belittling characterizations, they have lost the opportunity to see the other parents' perspective. If they can remember the other parents' inherent worth and dignity, then they can listen to understand their objections to the books. Pat asks Terry to meet with the other parents, assuring Terry they don't have to agree with them. Pat believes that if they genuinely want to promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations then they need to start in relation to these humans in the PTO.
They meet for coffee with the other parents. They listen with curiosity. When they feel the temptation to respond indignantly, they take a breath and keep their mouths closed. They keep turning their hearts back towards them. They come to realize how much these parents also care about their kids and the kids at the school. They hear that the other parents believe that good parenting means providing clear guidelines and protection from potentially corrupting influences like drugs, uncontrolled desires and moral temptations. Pat and Terry calmly explain their vision of parenting as providing nurturing support and protection from external dangers like drugs, crime, dangerous toys and the like. They all feel like they understand each other better. They don't agree with each other completely. They don't become friends. They continue to debate what books belong in the library at PTO meetings. Pat and Terry feel like they are being true to their UU principles in each meeting as they promote widespread availability of information and as they keep their hearts open to all the other parents.
What about when Terry and Pat arrive home? How do they hold the UU principles in their hearts with each other?
When they walk into the kitchen after a PTO meeting, Pat notices a pile of dishes in the sink. The general agreement is that Pat does the cooking and Terry does the dishes. In that moment, Pat feels infuriated because the dishes have been sitting in the sink for two days. Terry shifts from beloved human partner to inferior dishwashing unit in under ten seconds. Fortunately, in the car they had been discussing the power of living the UU principles at the PTO meetings, so Pat is able to remember the central concept of compassion in order to open up to Terry in that moment. Asking Terry about the dishes in the sink with genuine curiosity elicits a very different reaction from Terry than if Pat had spoken up a few seconds earlier with righteous resentment. Terry explains how tough work has been recently and asks if Pat would be willing to help with the dishes. They do the dishes together and then relax before going to bed. Pat falls asleep acknowledging how the attitude of compassion had contributed to the warmth and connection they had experienced that evening.
The next day Terry is at the office leading the weekly team meeting for the project team Terry manages. The status reports indicate they will miss an important deadline. Terry feels the anxiety mounting, imagining the potential setback if the project is late. This anxiety is so uncomfortable that Terry quickly covers it over with anger and starts peppering the team with accusatory questions. Terry's heart closes. The people on the team are no longer fellow human beings but are instruments to deliver different elements on the task list; in fact, they are substandard instruments who aren't performing their functions. Looking around the table, barely hearing a word through the wall of anger, Terry notices Kim, who's in charge of the budget. Terry remembers that Kim has visited the UU congregation a few times and is suddenly embarrassed by the intolerance and authoritarian stance Terry has assumed in the discussion. Terry stops and thinks "This isn't how I want to be." Terry brings to mind the word "equity" from the UU principles and suddenly sees fellow human beings around the table. Terry can hear what they are saying and listens with compassion and curiosity. Together, the team evaluates the situation honestly; they challenge each other respectfully, and come up with a modified timeline that is realistic. Terry feels proud for bringing the UU principles to life at work, recognizing this effort is a key task of leadership.
While Terry leads the project team at the office, Pat takes a step into a leadership role on the street. While walking to work, Pat regularly passes by people smoking outside a mental illness day program. Pat is irritated each day because of the smoke and the crowding on the sidewalk; frustrated because as a healthcare worker, Pat is aware of the dangers of smoking and knows some effective techniques for quitting; and anxious because Pat';s brother has experienced psychotic episodes and Pat's preference is to avoid confronting the confusion and pain his mental illness brings up. Typically, Pat ignores these thoughts and feelings and keeps on walking. This day Pat stops long enough to feel the emotions and consider the UU Principles about the interdependent web of existence and the vision of a world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. After a few thoughtful minutes, Pat walks past the smokers, into the building and volunteers to lead a smoking cessation program for any of the staff or clientele who are interested. Pat's decision to take the initiative and live the principles in the face of uncertainty and discomfort produces more evidence for an airtight case to be convicted as Unitarian Universalist.
Terry and Pat cannot recite the Principles word by word. But they have learned them by heart. They take the lead in their lives to live the principles. They have committed to notice when their behavior is out of synch with the principles and to make the effort to reconnect with their values and expend the energy to act differently. They actively seek opportunities to bring the principles to life. It's rarely easy, and it's always worthwhile. It takes strength and leadership. Their lives are different because they are Unitarian Universalists.
William Sloane Coffin, renowned progressive Christian minister, said "It is terribly important to realize that the leap of faith is not so much a leap of thought as of action." 5
How could you take the principles out of the realm of thought and leap into action? What kind of case could be made to convict you of full-fledged whole-hearted Unitarian Universalism? What do you do when life calls on you to live out your principles? When someone's opinion is different than yours. When someone at the committee meeting interrupts and goes off on a tangent. When your beloved doesn't take out the trash. When someone makes an offensive joke. When you speak at the condo coop meeting about the building's environmental impact. When you request that your employer make a policy change. When you are living your life every day.
I won't challenge you to memorize the principles. I invite you to learn them by heart and be willing to back them up with the life you lead.

You have a better chance of surviving breast cancer if your doctor finds and treats it early, while it's small and hasn't spread. The best way to detect breast cancer early is to be screened regularly. Screening means being checked before you have any symptoms. Screening isn't possible for many kinds of cancer, but it is with breast cancer. Screening doesn't guarantee that you won't get cancer or die from it, especially if it's found after it has spread. But regular screening may help find the cancer earlier.
Screening for breast cancer in women of average risk can include a combination of these:
Breast self-awareness. In the past, a breast self-exam was recommended. The exam was a precise method of examining your breasts, about once a month. Most medical organizations now advise breast self-awareness instead. This means having a sense of what is normal for your breasts so that you can notice even small changes and report them to a healthcare provider right away.
Clinical breast exam (CBE). The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises CBEs every 1 to 3 years for all women in their 20s and 30s. ACOG advises CBEs every year for women 40 and older. Other medical organizations disagree that there is enough evidence to assess the value of CBEs for women age 40 and older. Women should talk with their doctor about their risk factors and make a decision about whether to have a CBE.
Mammography. A mammogram is a kind of X-ray used to help find breast tumors before symptoms of cancer appear. During the test, your breast is placed between 2 metal or plastic plates that flatten and spread the tissue. Very low levels of radiation are used to take a picture of the inside of your breast. Many facilities have digital mammography. This displays results on a computer instead of on film. The test can be uncomfortable, but it only lasts a few moments.
Breast MRI. An MRI uses magnets, radio waves, and a computer to make detailed pictures of the inside of the breast. Before the MRI, you may be injected with a contrast dye. This helps to better outline the breast tissue and possible tumors. MRI is only used to screen women who are at a high risk for breast cancer.
These screening methods can improve your chances of catching cancer early. Women at high risk for breast cancer may be advised to start breast cancer screening at a younger age, and have an MRI in addition to a mammogram. For some women with dense breast tissue, ultrasound may be done in addition to a mammogram.
The benefits and limits of a mammogram vary. They're based on factors such as age and personal risk. Experts have different advice for who should have mammograms.
The U.S. Preventive Task Force (USPSTF) advises screening every 2 years for women age 50 to 74, with the choice to start getting mammograms every 2 years starting at age 40.
The American Cancer Society advises yearly screening for all women ages 45 to 54, then a choice of screening every 2 years or every 1 year for women age 55 and older. Women ages 40 to 45 have the option to start screening.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises that starting at age 40, women should have the option of starting to get mammograms every 1 or 2 years. All women should start at age 50. Mammograms every 1 or 2 years should be done until age 75. At that time a woman should talk to her doctor about whether to continue screening.
All women should talk with their doctor about their personal risk factors before making a decision about when to start and how often to get a mammogram.
A mammogram detects tumors and calcium deposits in the breast. Most calcium deposits are not cancer. But a cluster of very tiny specks of calcium (microcalcifications) can be an early sign of breast cancer. If your mammogram shows anything abnormal, you may need more tests.
A mammogram is the best way to find breast cancer early. But it may not always detect cancer. And in some cases, it may find an abnormality that turns out not to be cancer. This is called a false positive.
