Scarlet Witch's Return.....what do you think will happen to her?
" Still too early to call, but i think she'll still have her powers "The children's crusade is nine parts so I am expecting a lot of twists and turns(been going strong so far), It looks like she might have her powers since she's wearing the costume, and i think the assumption is that Doom was manipulating her, however like 123422 said still to early to tell.

" Do not know, but reality alteration is handled so poorly with her. The level to which she can change things makes her God like which is ridiculous in the context. "I have to agree, its created many drastic but short lived changes, such as the death and return of Hawkeye(love Hawkeye), seems like some of the writers have been abusing her reality powers. I would honestly Like to see marvel flesh out a solid continuity, seems like a lot of major story arcs are massive What If? ideas written for shock value: House of M, Civil War, AOA. I would not mind the return of the scarlet Witch but I would prefer her powerless or at least not on the God reality manipulating level.
She will either die, or be left alone
I would like her back on The Avengers, just so it'll actually make the team interesting again >.>

I don't think she will return to the Avengers just yet, mainly because Children's Crusade is on it's own timeline. Also most people know it was because of her that something bad happened, so having her on the team could leave her and the team prone for attacks. I would think that she will just be left alone and maybe just become the mother she always apparently wanted to be.

By Rabbi Michael Lerner.There was a brief and rare moment this year in which people openly discussed the U.S. lethal drones program. For a few days, the Obama administration apologized for a strike, the American people expressed shock, and the media took note.

Unum Shareholders Sue, Claim Stock Price InflationFeb 26, 2003 | AP
Shareholders have gone to court against UnumProvident Corp., charging that the disability insurer made misleading statements and improperly denied some claims to artificially inflate its stock price.
At least two complaints seeking class-action status have been filed since the company announced Feb. 5 that it had recorded investment losses of $93 million and was responding to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation for information relating to its investment disclosures.
The complaints filed in federal court in Chattanooga allege that UnumProvident, president and CEO Harold Chandler and chief financial officer Robert C. Grieving inflated the price of the company's securities to pursue an accelerated securities sale program.
''We find these complaints to be entirely without merit and we intend to defend these claims vigorously,'' said Becky Bumgardner, a UnumProvident spokeswoman.
The complaints allege UnumProvident, the nation's largest disability insurer, artificially inflated its stock price by failing to properly and promptly state losses to its investments and by improperly denying insurance claims.
''As with most securities suits, somebody told a lie,'' said Sam Rudman, a partner of New York-based Cauley, Geller, Bowman, Coates and Rudman, one of the firms that has taken action in the case.
Chandler and Grieving ''knew that by concealing UnumProvident's true financial results they could foster the perception in the business community that UnumProvident was a 'growth company,' '' according to the first complaint.
The second lawsuit also contends the company's ''forward-looking statements'' in financial disclosures aren't protected from litigation because UnumProvident officials knew they were false.
The filings cover a period beginning May 7, 2001, after UnumProvident announced earnings of $147.6 million after-tax operating income.
The company's stock rose $3.75 to reach $32.27 nine days later on the New York Stock Exchange. The day after the company announced its $93 million loss this month, shares closed at $14.45, a drop of 55 percent from the 2001 high. Shares of UnumProvident closed at $12.78 Tuesday.
UnumProvident, created by the 1999 merger of The Provident Companies of Chattanooga and the Unum Corp. in Portland, Maine, employs about 6,000.

Hi Grandp1957,
Thanks for choosing JustAnswer.
How long has the dryer run before you turned it off (approximately)?
Is the dryer very hot. I mean extremely hot!
I'm guessing that you were also very carefull when you put the wires back on to be sure that they were on the same connections... right?
Hi Don,
Try checking the operating thermostat. If this shorts the timer doesn't get the voltage to continue. However, this often leads to very hot dryer and/or another a thermal fuse being blown.

Swedish Potatoes
Recipe by KookieMomster
These are rich and satisfying. They can be a little oily, so plan to eat only a small portion if you are watching what you eat. If you don't want to use dairy products or to make this vegan, try Swedish Potatoes 2.
Top Review by Chef Buggsy Mate
These make a wonderful potato side dish. DS who does not like any potato unless it is French Fried ate his up without complaining and even asked for seconds! I poured half of the sauce over the potatoes and mixed it in while they were still in the warm pot and then drizzled the remainder of the sauce over the potatoes once they were dished up. They are so versatile they can easily accompany fish, beef, pork, our foul. I served them with Broiled Buffalo Wings and and Rosemary butter basted green beans. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made and reviewed for My 3 Chefs 08

The development of 3D printing is marching onward at an ever-faster rate, as more firms release tech in a bid to improve existing three-dimensional printing capabilities. Until now, 3D printers have been limited not by the technology, but by the availability of suitable materials which can be used to produce 3D creations.
But a new form of ink has emerged which could change the way 3D printers are used and expand the range of products and designs they can create. Developed at Northwestern University in the US, the new ink makes it possible to print 3D objects from stretchy graphene as opposed to the brittle materials thus far used in 3D printing. The ink's high graphene composition lends itself well to electrical and mechanical objects, where it has been already been widely used.
Developers believe the substance would be extremely successful in producing small, intricate 3D creations – making it the perfect material for mechanical components as well as the biomedical field. Before the development of 75% graphene 3D printer ink, carbon fibre was the only material that came close to the sturdiness and flexibility of the new substance. Indeed, the ink's designers are hailing the material as a breakthrough in 3D printer tech, suggesting that graphene ink could completely transform three-dimensional printing for scientists, technology developers and hobbyists alike.
The team of developers at Northwestern University were led by Ramille Shah, who commented that the secondary component of ink (the binder) is constructed from biodegradable, hyperelastic polyester, which not only makes the material extremely flexible – it also means it is suitable for biomedical experimentation.
To create the graphene ink, Shah and colleagues embedded graphene flakes into a dissolved polymer, where they fuse to become a single filament when the mixture is made to flow. This technique ensures the graphene remains in a favourable state of elasticity, and makes it suitable for creating a range of multi-layered, highly intricate 3D designs.
The graphene's stretchiness and suppleness is dictated by the quantity of binder added to the mix. The ability to change and modify the flexibility of the ink is crucial, as different products and designs require varying levels of stretchiness depending on their application. For example, developers believe the graphene substance could be used to safely mimic the exact bending and flexing of the human spine, which naturally requires a specific level of stretchiness when compared to say, an electrical component.
Despite being in the early stages of development, Shah and team have stated their new 3D printer ink is strong, sturdy and flexible enough to be used alongside existing human tissue, paving the way for a new generation of biodegradable medical implants.

Coding techniques for handling failures in large disk arrays

A crucial issue in the design of very large disk arrays is the protection of data against catastrophic disk failures. Although today single disks are highly reliable, when a disk array consists of 100 or 1000 disks, the probability that at least one disk will fail within a day or a week is high. In this paper we address the problem of designing erasure-correcting binary linear codes that protect against the loss of data caused by disk failures in large disk arrays. We describe how such codes can be used to encode data in disk arrays, and give a simple method for data reconstruction. We discuss important reliability and performance constraints of these codes, and show how these constraints relate to properties of the parity check matrices of the codes. In so doing, we transform code design problems into combinatorial problems. Using this combinatorial framework, we present codes and prove they are optimal with respect to various reliability and performance constraints.

This highly esteemed designer eyewear company was established in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, an optical storeowner in Italy. "Persol" derives from the Italian phrase "per il sole," which translates to "for the sun."
The Persol eyewear brand was initially created to provide optimal vision to people like pilots and athletes who were in need of sunglasses that were both comfortable and protective. It was not until 1957 that the Persol name became well-known in mainstream fashion, when Italian film star Marcello Mastroianni donned a pair of elegant Persol sunglasses in the film "Divorce Italian Style."
These days, Persol is still prevalent in Hollywood films, and two pairs of its high-end sunglasses can be seen on Daniel Craig in his role as James Bond in "Casino Royale."
Persol´s staying power comes from its dedication to providing customers with elegant, high-quality products that are classic and stylish. The sunglasses are fitted with crystal lenses for great protection from the sun´s harmful rays, and have been tested for high performance in all types of conditions. Many of the frames can also be fitted with polarized lenses for extra protection from ultraviolet light.
Each frame also features the "Meflecto," a patented hinge piece that is designed to eliminate pressure on one's head, which eyeglass wearers surely have experienced before with heavier frames. It is a flexible spring hinge that, at the time of its debut, was an exciting development for luxury eyewear. Also, on the temple you'll notice the arrow motif, which curves over the hinges and makes a pair of Persol glasses immediately recognizable.
While Persol is well known for its sunwear collection, it also produces a line of beautiful designer eyeglasses. "Smart" and "sophisticated" are the two words that he company uses to describe its timeless optical collection, which feature everything from plastic frames to rimless and metal designs.
Some of today´s hottest celebrities are big fans of Persol eyewear. Those who have been spotted with a pair of the Italian designer´s glasses include Beyonce, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Chris Pine.
Buy Persol eyeglasses and sunglasses online or in Boston
You can buy Persol eyeglasses and sunglasses in our online shop. If you would like to check out Persol eyeglasses and sunglasses in Boston, please visit our storefront at 11 Harvard St., Brookline, MA 02445 (in Brookline Village) and we will be delighted to show you the new collection and all the new styles.

Would you like to know how to grab the attention of busy editors and other media people? Send them something interesting. Short and interesting. Like this poem I was sent a few minutes ago via email from the author.
Travel now, he said
I release you to the wind
I release you to the Morning Star
may you float away in peace and be guided by the
I release you to come home to
where the only true
love resides
I release you to find what has
always been
your true self
so it is said
so it is done
This poem is by Jay North, author of a new book Open Spaces: My Life and Times with Leonard J. Mountain Chief. The poem and his story are described in more detail in the book. Visit his web site for more information: http://www.goingorganic.com.

It's a matchup as old as time—nearly as old as Coors versus Bud, in fact. The grudge will be settled once and for all—er, until the next time they meet—when Metropolitan Division rivals the New York Rangers take on the New Jersey Devils in a rare outdoor game on Jan 26. Three days later, the Blueshirts will take on the New York Islanders from that big landmass to the east. Global warming makes alfresco hockey a dicier proposition than it once might have been, so enjoy it while you can.

Well the TSA just changed their mind on allowing small pocket knives on airplanes . So that TSA approved knife you just purchased just became your newest paper weight
This just keeps getting better . Maybe a reason I haven't flown in years ! My freakin shoes, my belt, my phone, my notebook, 3 Oz of this, that, just knee jerk as usual .
I have just one thing more to say .....El Al Airlines. They profile people !

-Tony Soprano
I used to travel quite a bit for work. Thankfully not so much any more. I used to enjoy it but now prefer to drive if possible just to avoid the TSA stupidity. I was closer than most to the events on 9/11 and so accepted a lot of what went on in the aftermath, thinking a lot of it was temporary. Now I'm convinced they should turn over security to the airlines, who actually have a stake in making sure their assets stay safe.
I was pretty much okay with everything until late 2010 when they when to the full body grope in advance of the porn-o-scan machines. I have metal in my body that usually sets of metal detectors, so I'd become accustomed to informing the TSA screener ahead of time and they would pull me aside and wave me down with the wand. With the policy change in 2010, any beep from the detector (no scanner was available my first time through) mean a full body pat down. I'm no prude and don't mind the contact, but it was just the sheer invasion of personal space and level of search just to travel back home from a business meeting that set my teeth on edge.
Most people on this board accept the notion that there is risk in the world and we make decisions every day to either accept some level of risk (e.g. driving to work), or seek ways to avoid risk (e.g. stay out of the bad part of town at night), or mitigate risk (concealed carry). Unfortunately , it seems the Feds, via DHS and the TSA, have embarked on a policy to avoid risk at all costs. Much of that cost is to our civil liberties and, more and more, our personal dignity.
The image of grown men, just normal law abiding citizens going about their business, waddling through the checkpoint in stocking feet, holding up their pants with one hand and shoes and belt in the other, after getting their crotch groped by some useless TSA slug makes me mourn for my country.
Well I just go to the shop and get into a sphere push buttons get street number and pull the lever and BAM in 4.8 sec I am there
That said, I don't have a problem with the "no pocket knife" rule because what's the difference between that and a box cutter?
If a Mohammad Atta wannabe and several "students" gets on board with pocket knives and slits a flight attendants throat...well, I don't want to be on that flight.
I agree that we should turn security over to the airlines and arm the pilots. That would probably fix 99.9% of the problems.
Start profiling like Israel does and that would go up to 100%.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
History has proven that weather, mechanical issues, and pilot error has been far more deadly to the flying public than terrorists. Given that I don't sit up front, no longer am responsible for the maintenance and the weather is . . . well, the weather, those I have no control over. But "realistic" efforts to ensure my safety from other passengers are appreciated, much as I hate all but stripping to get on board.

meh, i figured it was going to happen. you an get a knife just as sharp as a box cutter and its a bigger blade. figured this wasnt gonna fly, no pun intended.

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
The wife and I only travel for vacation reasons. We started driving every where we go about 6 years ago. Two to four thousand mile driving trips have really become a lot of fun. We get to see a lot of this country and eat at places we would have never thought of. Last fall we spent five days driving around Michigan, before that it was Colorado. They can keep the airplanes and the TSA, I'm taking the backroads.
"and slits a flight attendants throat...well, I don't want to be on that flight."
If I was a flight attendant that just got my throat slit I sure would want a highly qualified nurse named Jeanlouise on that flight.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
All anyone has to do to slit someones throat is sharpen the edge of a credit card slightly. Box cutters and pocket knives are no greater threat to anyone. The only reason they were effective previously was because everyone thought they were dealing with a simple hijacking and that compliance would lead to inconvenience not mass destruction. I should think people are better informed now and would fail to acquiesce against such minor weapons. Personally I think we ignore the most effective deterrent, which is profiling. Putting political correctness ahead of safety is something I do have a problem with.
Trust me, you do NOT want the airlines to be responsible for their own security. I suppose most people would call it 'fine print' but when you purchase a ticket you agree to a set of rules known as "contract of carriage". Anyone who has been involuntarily denied boarding can tell you that it does exist, and can be a bear to deal with. Basically the contract of carriage lays out their responsibilities to you, and your responsibilities as a passenger. Each airline has a different set of rules they play by in said contract. Now, put the airlines in charge of security (as opposed to the federal governmental guidelines, not all security checkpoints are TSA) and you wanna talk about a traveling/standardization nightmare??? Imagine you show up for a flight operated by brand X, the flight cancels and you now have to go to brand Y to get close to where you were trying to go. What was OK on brand X is not allowed by brand Y, not to mention you must now be re-screened. It is essentially: you don't agree to our rules? Don't ride on our airplanes. Flying is NOT a right, just look at the national do not fly list. Get on that list, good luck getting on a commercial airliner.
No, airlines have a hard enough time just trying to (unsuccessfully for most) stay out of bankruptcy, much less try to run their own security for the millions of passengers that are flown via the airlines a day.
P.S. You can thank the flight attendants unions for the delay on pocket knives returning to airplanes.
Disclaimer: Please don't take this as union bashing or start in on unions. I can tell you that unions are 100% necessary in the airline industry. Google Frank Lorenzo if you need to know more about airline management and union necessity.

First Meeting: at Cal 28, SDSU 0 (Sept. 18, 1982)
Current Win Streak: Cal, 2
Injuries: San Diego State: None; Cal: None
What to Watch When Cal is on Offense:
- What To Watch: 3 Things on Offense (video)
- Left tackle Aaron Cochran will return to action (sprained knee), but it is unknown how many snaps he'll get.
- Key to the Game: Power Up Front (members) -- How has Cal's run game evolved, and how will the Bears' offensive line manage San Diego State's multiple, blitzing, unconventional fronts? Will Tre Watson, who rushed for just nine yards on just three carries last year, get more run? He seems to think so. In 2015, it was Daniel Lasco leading the charge on the ground with 19 carries for 123 of Cal's 164 yards, while this year's running backs combined for just 52 yards on 12 carries.
- "As much line moving and blitzing and run-throughs as they do," said head coach Sonny Dykes, "they don't give up many big plays, and that's something that they do a nice job of getting people on the ground. They find a way to get you down."
- A Closer Look: San Diego State's Secondary (members) -- With five players returning with major starting experience in the Aztecs defensive backfield, Davis Webb knows that the young receivers are going to need to step up. After going to Chad Hansen 14 times for 160 yards and two touchdowns, Webb knows he'll need to spread the ball around to the likes of Melquise Stovall, Jordan Veasy, Jordan Duncan, Vic Wharton and Demetris Robertson. Will their speed prevent San Diego State from pressing? "They've got a lot of experience," said offensive coordinator Jake Spavital. "I think two of them have got over 40 games of experience. That alone shows that these kids have seen almost everything. You watch all the tape from last year, teams are trying double moves, slants and slant returns and stutters, all sorts of things, trying to trick these guys, and these guys have seen it all. Obviously, experience is going to play a lot into their favor."
- Cal, for all its exciting new toys in the receiving corps, return just two players who caught a pass in last year's game: running back Vic Enwere and inside receiver Ray Hudson, each of whom caught a single pass. That's two, out of 17 catches, coming back. "We've still got a ways to go," Spavital said, of his young receivers.
- Given how much San Diego State shifts up front, their stand-up defensive line, do-everything linebacker Calvin Munson and MWC Defensive Player of the Year Damontae Kazee, Webb's experience will play a big role in picking apart the defense and shifting the Bears into the proper play, as he did against Hawaii: "They're a defense that can get into every type of front imaginable, pretty quickly," said Spavital.
- Speaking of Hansen, San Diego State told him when he wanted to leave Idaho State that he wasn't good enough to play for them.
- Bug Rivera Returns to San Diego -- After leaving the University of San Diego, the nephew of Ron Rivera has found a home in Berkeley as a walk-on, and was one of the Bears' leading receivers against Hawaii, catching five balls for 54 yards.
- Hawaii Redux (members) -- What did Spavital think of the Bears' performance against the Warriors? Why was the offense disjointed? What did Davis Webb do so well once he got settled in? Why so many runs inside? Find that out and more.
What to Watch When Cal is on Defense
- San Diego State has won 11 straight games, with only one decided by less than 14 points. They like to run, and last season, the Aztecs were 14th in the nation in rushing offense (233.3 yards per game), but last season, the Bears held them to 152 yards on the ground. But, gone are Mustafa Jalil, David Davis, Trevor Kelly, Jonathan Johnson, Kyle Kragen, Todd Barr and Puka Lopa. James Looney and Tony Mekari should have a better time of things in the middle (Looney played exceptionally against Hawaii, and the Aztecs' more straight-ahead, downhill running style fits Mekari better than the Warriors' lateral movement), and overall, defensive line coach Fred Tate likes the more straight-up smash-mouth, manhood-challenging prospect of facing the Aztecs (members).
- Dykes: "What they do defensively is unique, and what they do on offense is unique. They're a pound-you, run-the-ball-down-your-throat offense, which you don't see that much of, anymore, in college football."
- Reviewing the Film: Cal vs. San Diego State, 2015 (members) -- New quarterback Christian Chapman is much more mobile than his predecessor, and when the Bears saw him in 2015, he gave the Aztecs new life, and opened up new offensive possibilities: "He's got a good grip of their offense, where to throw the ball, and they don't ask him to do stuff he can't do," said defensive coordinator Art Kaufman. "They have a package, and he knows where he's going with the ball, and if it's not there, he'll pull it down and take off.
- Kaufman talks about Chapman and what worked against Mountain West Player of the Year Donnel Pumphrey, who was the only player in the nation, other than Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, to have over 1500 rushing and 400 passing yards last season.
- On the topic of Pumphrey, Dykes said: "The biggest thing is, we got him on the ground, and really made him earn his yards. That's the big thing with him, is they're going to be patient and keep feeding him the ball. He's one of those backs that gets stronger the more carries he gets."
- Three Things to Watch on Defense -- Cornerback Darius Allensworth will be deployed in a variety of roles, much as he was last year. As a cornerback, he's been able to lock down his side of the field, but the Bears want him to get in on as many plays as possible, so we'll see him in nickel and dime formations at times. Last year, he led the Bears with 10 tackles. The next six most prolific tacklers in that game are no longer at Cal.
- "The two linebackers that were playing most of that game, the two safeties that were playing most of that game, we've lost some experienced guys," Kaufman said. "The tackles played, one of the ends (DeVante Wilson) played, the nickel (Cameron Walker) played and the right corner (Allensworth) played. Everybody else is different."
- Two of the three Bears who came down with interceptions last year -- Michael Barton and Darius White -- are gone, and that's symbolic of what the Cal defense is facing this season, on the whole. As experienced as the Aztecs are on the back end, that's how inexperienced the Bears are. Despite the lack of linebackers, though, the Bears will still go with a three-man look in the middle, though that third man may very well be a nickel back cheating up. "We've been tested on a couple different things this week," Dykes said. "I don't know if we're going to bring in an extra D-lineman, or a linebacker. It helps that we know that they're more run than pass."
- "We'll do that some," Kaufman said of having three linebackers, with one cheating up to cover Pumphrey. "Mostly, we're going to fit it up with the guys we have."
Special Teams
This week, Cal punter Dylan Klumph was thrust into the news because of an Instagram post that, for all college football's bluster, seemed fairly innocuous. His 31.3-yard punting average was brought up in response, to taunt him. But, as mentioned in BearTerritory's recap of the game, he did put two of his punts down inside the Hawaii 20-yard line.
Cal did not make Klumph available this week, despite media requests. While it's his social media that's been in the headlines, it's his feet that have done the talking over the last two weeks, as he's booted almost every punt over 45 yards, with a 70-yarder and multiple 50-yarders thrown in, for good measure, with consistent 4-second hang time.
"Keep in mind, the 31.3, we had two down inside the 20, and we'll take that," said special teams coordinator Mark Tommerdahl. "He's had a good fall camp, and the consistency aspect doesn't matter until we see it on game day. His performance against Hawaii can be improved upon, but he did some good things, as well. Getting it inside the 20, those are really good, hidden yards. He's getting more comfortable all the time, getting the ball off and getting comfortable with [longsnapper Bradley] Northnagel. He'll be fine."
Pumphrey, aside from being a top tailback, is also a threat in the punt return game, though he didn't return any last year.
"A chute can open up, and they have great anticipation, getting to the hole," Tommerdahl said.
While Pumphrey may be returning punts, his fellow running back, Rashaad Penny, was the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year as a kick returner. Penny tied for second nationally with three kickoff returns for touchdowns last season, becoming the second player in school history to have multiple kickoff return touchdowns in a season (Colin Lockett returned two for TDs in 2012). He was second in the nation in kick return average (33.5) and San Diego State as a team was second in the nation as a team (29.1).
"They're one of the best," Tommerdahl said. "They're really, really well-coached on special teams. I've known Bobby Hauck for 20 years. Rocky Long and I worked together 30 years ago, so they'll be well-coached."
That familiarity has bred a bit of insight for Tommerdahl.
"The guys on the back end are just really talented," Tommerdahl said. "They have great, great vision, and the people in front of them, they run the same thing a couple different ways, and they're good at it. It's a good challenge for us in the return game. They've got a good base scheme and a good counter off of it."
Other Notes
- Though he no longer plays baseball, linebacker Calvin Munson was a pitcher on the 2015 Mountain West Championship team for San Diego State, and throws in the mid-90s. He was drafted 935th overall in the 31st round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.
- One of Webb's childhood heroes was Tyler Henley, one of his father Matt's former players, who, after tearing his ACL in a football game, came back and played baseball a year later, went on to play at Rice, and then was drafted by the Cardinals.
- Webb, who was once a high school catcher as a freshman, was going to pitch and play shortstop as a sophomore, but decided he wanted to concentrate on football. This summer, he began using the arm exercises espoused by former Texas Rangers pitching coach, Tom House.
- Munson has six interceptions in his career, including three for touchdowns (all three in 2014). Munson is fifth all-tim at San Diego State with 232 interception return yards.

A "fast-track" system is actually pushing some women with cancer to the back of the queue.
At least one in four women diagnosed with breast cancer has not been seen urgently, says a study published today in the British Medical Journal Online First.
The Government set a target in 1999 that a woman with suspected breast cancer should have to wait no longer than two weeks on the NHS to see a consultant after being given an urgent referral by her GP.
But this has created a two-tier system, said Dr Shelley Potter, a clinical fellow at Bristol Royal Infirmary, because if a woman does not get an urgent referral she has to wait on the routine list to see a consultant.
And there has been an "alarming" rise in cancers diagnosed from "routine" referrals.
Most women being referred as urgent cases do not have cancer.
In addition, the waiting times for routine referrals have lengthened due to "the dramatically increased number of patients referred under the twoweek rule, over 90 per cent of whom have benign disease", Dr Potter added.
She said GPs were not to blame because they could not be expected to make a specialist diagnosis in advance of proper testing.
They were bound to play safe by sending many women with breast lumps to hospital for urgent attention.
"Also there's more awareness among women now about breast cancer and some will put more pressure on their GP to be referred urgently," she added.
The study - by staff at the Frenchay Breast Care Centre, Bristol - looked at 25,000 referrals between 1999 and 2005, with GPs classifying each patient as "urgent" or "routine".
The number of routine referrals fell by 24 per cent but two-week referrals increased by 42 per cent. The total number of cancers remained constant. But the proportion of urgent patients actually diagnosed with cancer "significantly decreased" from 12.8 to 7.7 per cent.
The number of routine referrals fell, but cancer cases in that group more than doubled to 5.3 per cent in 2005.
In 2005, around one in four of patients ultimately diagnosed with cancer was referred non-urgently.
Waiting times for routine referrals have gone up to 30 days.
Dr Potter said: "Problems with the system have got worse. We have a two-tier system which is unfair. We need a two-week wait for all women.
"It can be done with a little more resource and some reorganisation. At Frenchay we're training nurses to carry out the gold standard triple assessment - that means putting on just one extra clinic a week."
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "In 2005, the Government made a manifesto commitment to go further on cancer waits and we are considering proposals to do this as part of the Cancer Reform Strategy to be published at the end of this year."Reuse content

SPOTTED: Rep. Bradley Byrne catching the World Cup faceoff between the United States and Germany during a Thursday lunch break.
The Alabama Republican told The Hill that his two sons play soccer, and at his house, "It's World Cup all the time."
Byrnes predicted a win by the American team in the critical match. He even took it one step further, saying the U.S. squad "could go all the way."

Craig Lake State Park is the most remote state park in the system. Access into the park can be an adventure. Vehicles with high ground clearance are recommended. The park contains six full lakes and a variety of wildlife such as deer, black bear, beaver, loons and moose.
The road you drive on to get back to the parking lot is an adventure in itself. I don't need to ever drive down that road again. It is a one lane road that had cars going both ways and blind corners. This road is 7 miles long and you could go about 10 mph. The lake was amazing
One of my favorite places in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a great hike especially if you bring your fishing gear. Craig Lake State Park is filled with little lakes and as long as you don't go in the early spring the insects are bearable and well worth it.

Iran's Police Kill 12 Afghans, Arrest 167 Dealers along Eastern Border
Iranian police have killed 12 armed Afghan bandits, arrested 167 drug traffickers and seized some 536 kilograms of narcotics throughout the upper border province of Khorassan over the past week, said a police report on Saturday.
It said 14 assault rifles, 264 cartridges and three wireless transmitters were also nabbed from the detainees, according to the official Iranian news agency (IRNA).
Iran is a major transit route for drugs, mainly opium, hashish and heroin, from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Central Asia, Europe and the Gulf States.
Iranian authorities stepped up surveillance along the country's borders by ordering the setting up of outposts and an electronically monitored barbed wire fence along the 945-kilometer border with Afghanistan.
A budget of 200 billion rials ($25 million) was allocated for the project.
Official reports say 3,100 Iranian police officers have been killed in drug-related battles throughout Iran over the past twenty years.
Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi has vowed "no mercy" on anybody sentenced for drug dealing or smuggling in the wake of statements by another official calling the country's drug problem a national crisis, IRNA said.
He told government officials charged with combating the drug problem that traffickers and dealers should be "isolated and excluded from society." – Albawaba.com

CFLs, or compact fluorescent lights, have come a very long way since their introduction. They are now designed to new and improved standards, and are far more popular than they were even just a few years ago. Holdouts who haven't been using them typically cite the lack of dimming capabilities as one of the major reasons. However, you can now find a wide range of dimmable CFL options today, meaning those excuses should officially be done and over with!
The dimmable compact fluorescent bulb has actually been around for a few years. However, as with all technological progress it takes some time for the word to get out, and it also takes some time for the price to come down and the technology to be perfected. Well, that time is certainly now, and you can find high quality, affordable dimmable CFL bulbs at many stores today, all of which provide a wide range of benefits to you, your home and the environment.
First, a dimmable CFL bulb will have a much lower energy consumption and wattage than a comparable standard light. They often use between 75 and 80% less energy, which is obviously a huge difference that can have an amazing difference in the aggregate impact we have on the environment. It will also make a difference on your monthly power bills. For example, a typical, dimmable 100W bulb can be replaced by a 23W dimmable compact fluorescent. The numbers represent a huge cut in the amount of energy that you're burning through.
If you replace all of the dimmable lights in your home with these, then you can quickly imagine how much money you can save each month and each year on your lighting. Not only that, but dimmable CFL bulbs also have much longer working life spans than traditional bulbs. This means that while they might cost a few more bucks upfront, but you'll have to replace them far less often, once again saving more money.
They are fully compatible with all standard dimming circuits, which means you don't need to rework any wiring or installation, or deal with any other concerns. The range of light and the dimming capacity is fully equal, meaning there are no drawbacks to this more environmentally friendly option.
Many people have been relying on that old excuse that CFLs don't dim, and that's why they haven't made the switch. That excuse no longer holds water. Dimmable CFL bulbs are now easily available, of high quality, and increasingly affordable. With drastically less energy usage, longer lives, and with less impact on the environment (with responsible recycling of spent bulbs), what's not to like? So go ahead and make the switch to a dimmable compact fluorescent today!

About "A quick break while fighting the Empire" by fatboyjim
A quick break while fighting the Empire
Design by fatboyjim
I'm not sure about the deathstar.
But I like the STARBUCKS cup.
better without the icing stuff.
tip time: never listen to comments telling you to make stuff 'more realistic'
I think it's awesome. :)
funny on multiple levels
As per my profile I am not at one with any film set in another galaxy but I appreciate the humour. Kudos.
it looks great by the way
lawl funny...
yeah yeah - good job :D
the death star looks like a fish skull (fish have skulls, right?)
The last design was almost too simple, this one is simply great! Agree, no death star needed $5
This is great! Much better than the previous sub. $5
I say keep the Death Star. It adds a bit of extra context, and is visually more interesting as well.
This so rules...
smart! 2 flies in 1 hit!
i like it $5
HAHAHA this is great!
cute design! $5
It's hilarious but I am worried G. Lucas might come gunning for you! Either way, I am giving it a $5!
Haha I loved your previous version but this is even better!!
Great $5
$5 this is class though being geeky that costume is from the Star wars a new hope and the death star was complete
sorry for geeking off I'm now walking off in shame:( but I'd buy this definatly
oh and the icing is cool no one likes a plain danish/hairbob???

Economies around the world are progressing at different rates. Some are progressing upwards, while others are going down. Every country wants its unemployment rate to be 0; however such is not the case. All around the world people are either jobless or homeless and have to make do with what little they have, and have faith in them and in God, that better days will come.One such case has come to light in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A report done by the Saudi daily newspaper, Okaz, stated that a Saudi man was left no choice but to take up residence inside his own car, that too with 3 of his children, after he was unable to pay their house rent.
The report which was originally published in the Friday edition of the daily newspaper, Okaz, it was reported that the Saudi man, and father of 3, was forcefully evicted from his residence after he had failed to pay the required rent for his residence. The Saudi man has also reportedly accumulated a debt which has risen up to SAR100,000.The Saudi father of 3 goes by the name of Ibrahim Sulaimani, and in the report has stated that he and his 3 children are forced to live inside his car, which has become their residence, dinner table and bedroom. Mr. Ibrahim Sulaimani has also stated that he had gotten divorce from his wife recently, after which the kids were in his custody. Divorce settlements and cases can often cost a fortune, and maybe the divorce is what caused Ibrahim and his children to move into the car.
Living inside a car, is neither healthy, nor is it safe. Children should not have to face such conditions under any circumstances. Such cases are pretty common in the west where people sleep in cars in between shifts or cannot afford a house to live in and hence permanently live in their cars, and unfortunately this causes many deaths per year. The car has the risk of suffocation and accumulation of poisonous gasses, which can kill people in their sleep.
Sulaimani is hopeful that the government will provide some sort of aid, if not for him, then for his innocent young children. The late King Abdullah had announced on March 2011, that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had plans to spend around SAR 250 billion, which would be used for the building of around 500,000 homes. The real estate construction is well underway at this point, under new leadership, and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are optimistic that these homes, will help fight the problem of homelessness in the Kingdom.
We hope that Mr. Sulaimani and his children will find a better, more suitable alternative residence than his automobile. A fund or department should also be set up, which primarily focuses on the aiding and help of single parents or parents who feel that they cannot provide for their children adequately.

There is no specific legislation dealing with data protection in India but there is a comprehensive legal framework around the subject, as Pravin Anand and Shantanu Sahay describe.
A primary concern for the managers of a business outsourcing work to India is data security. Security breaches may result in losing not only large sums of money and potentially sensitive data but also the trust of the client. Data security is an essential aspect of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry.
Although there is no specific legislation dealing with data protection the jurisprudence relating to data security has its source in the Indian Constitution, Article 21 of which states that no person will be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to the procedures established by law.
Judicial activism has led to the inclusion of privacy within the realm of fundamental rights and, further, the Supreme Court has on various occasions held that personal liberty means life free from encroachments unsustainable in law. Any unlawful invasion of privacy would make the offender liable for the consequences in accordance with the law.

I really should have posted this on St. Patrick's Day but it kind of sneaked up on me and I forgot all about it. It's now Spring and green is more than appropriate for the coming days. But, with the gold shimmer this really does look like a polish fit for a leprechaun.
Every Moment Lasts A Day is described as a "leaf green crelly packed with copper shimmer and gold microflakies." I am wearing 2 coats plus top coat but I probably should have gone with 3 as you can sort of see my nail line in the pictures with flash. Oops! I don't have a problem with nail line like some do. This is another perfectly formulated polish packed with shimmer and microflakies. LOVE!

This paper reports on an experience of using metaphor in qualitative research of software engineering in practice. Our project aimed to uncover non-technical factors affecting the adoption and evolution of Software Quality Management Systems (referred to here as 'the quality process'). Previously we have reported the tensions we uncovered around the quality process in four companies, based on semi-structured interviews. This paper extends this work by applying metaphor to the results. We show how we were able to produce more general statements regarding the tensions and their amelioration, and then introduce results from a fifth company, which we compare against our general statements. We find that these statements are generally supported by results from this fifth company. Finally we present some reflections on our experience of using metaphor in this way.

Would you love to learn how to make your own clothes but don't know where to start? Then this is the course for you. We will show you how to work from and pattern and sew your very first skirt. All our teachers who run this course are expert dressmakers and will pass on all their best tips and tricks. You will leave with a finished skirt and a pattern to take away with you.
This is how the course is broken down into the two sessions:
Session one: learn how to measure yourself, how to cut out a pattern and alter the length if necessary, how to pin the pattern accurately on the fabric. You will then learn how to insert a zip and construct the skirt, finishing the seams with zig zag stitches.
Session two: learn how to attach a waistband, how to hem a curved hem and how to sew on poppers.
This is a beginner's dressmaking class so no experience of dressmaking is required but you do need to know how to use a sewing machine. We will expect you to be have taken the Intro to Sewing course or be at an equivalent standard.
We have the perfect fabric available from our online shop.
Tea and cake are provided to help the sewing process along!
NEW! We now offer video support for Intro to Dressmaking! We know it can be tricky to remember everything you learn in the class, so to help you keep on top of everything you've learned we've made a series of tutorials to refresh your memory. Once the course is complete we will email you a link to a series of downloadable tutorials made by Lisa herself. So if you have trouble remembering how to insert the zip or get a bit stuck with the waistband, never fear, we've got it covered. And there are extras too! Click here for a preview!
Level: 3
- Can thread a sewing machine
- Can sew to different seam allowances
- Understands about backstitching at the start & end of seams
- Have made a range of sewn items equivalent to those made on our Intro to Sewing class
- If you have completed our Intro to Sewing class, you are level 3
Class length: Two 3 hour sessions
Materials required:
115cm wide fabric: 3m
140cm wide fabric: 2m
** Please note that for the full circle skirt, because parts of it is on the bias, a non-directional print is preferable. If you use a directional print, you will end up with some of the design on its side.
We recommend a medium weight cotton as it is easy to sew and will hang well, have a look here for some inspiration! We don't recommend choosing anything too lightweight, or stretchy as they might make things trickier when you are sewing up your skirt. You will also need a 8/9 inch regular zip.
Pattern sizes: 6-20. If you are outside or may be bordering on this range of sizes, please contact us a week before the class as we will need to grade a pattern especially for you. If it is just one size up or down, we will do this free of charge, but if it is more then there may be a small fee.
Max in class: 8
Teacher: Dominique Davant, Kate Underwood, Julie Johnston, Ellen Bartels

text: Hello everyone and thanks for reading. I have looked through the discussions and thus far not seen anything related to what I am about to ask but if this has come up before I apologize. I'm looking to do a new clean install of Windows 7 on my work PC which doubles as a mild gaming machine for the occasional break or after hours. (Family business so I get to play when I can) haha.... Currently: XP 32bit, 2 WD 160gig drives, 8meg buffers, 1st drive partitioned 45gigs for OS, the second part of the drive I have my most used applications, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Quark, Office, and just about anything else I need to run my day to day operations. Second physical drive has a 20 gig partition just for the page file and I have a min/max page file of 8gigs. The rest of that drive is partitioned off and on it I have my games I like to play, World of Warcraft, CoD4 and a few others. Now I have realized that I probably did not do a good thing installing my games which require HD reads to the same drive that has the pagefile but I dont think I am accessing the pagefile all that much when playing those games since all other apps are off when I am gaming. I would like to buy Windows 7 and 2 new drives, Probably WD 500gig 32 meg buffers. If I do then my plan is to run the OS on the first drive with a 75-100 gig in the first partition (C: drive) and then this is where my questions come in: Would I see more performance if I installed my Apps to the second physical drive? Or could I install them on the second partition of the C drive. Will the reads/writes from the OS interfere with my Adobe and Quark programs? Should I install my Games to one partition of second physical drive and the apps on the other part of that drive and then use the second partition of the OS drive as storage for music and pictures, and then use one of my older WD 160 gig drives as a 3rd drive for the Pagefile? and storage? I'm trying very hard to minimize reads/writes but I dont know how effective the other WD 160gig drives will be with only an 8meg buffer as a pagefile drive. All drives are 7,200rpm. Does any of this make sense? I was also thinking that down the road I would install the last of my old WD 160 drives to use as a scratch file drive for my adobe apps. Again this would be a 7,200 rpm with 8 meg buffer

The availability of efficacious, all-oral hepatitis C treatment options has changed the landscape of caring for patients with the virus. Bill Carey, MD, is a Cleveland Clinic physician who's board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. "Basically, what we're talking about is the ability to cure hepatitis C," he told attendees. Because the virus is now highly treatable and there aren't enough hepatitis C-treating providers, Dr. Carey said, it's critical for all physicians to be involved in screening, evaluation and treatment of potential hepatitis C patients.
For those patients who are "ideal" for non-specialists to treat, Dr. Carey said, treatment is easy and effective, monitoring isn't time-consuming and severe side effects are infrequent. But some hepatitis C patients should be referred to specialists, he advised, including those with cirrhosis, patients who are pre-and post liver transplant, those who've previously been treated for the virus, those who are hepatitis C-HIV coinfected, and cases where ribavirin is needed.
In the past, Dr. Carey noted, screening efforts were sometimes focused on patients with known risk factors, like intravenous drug use. However, he said, because 70% of those infected were born between 1945-1965, the CDC and USPTF recommend physicians perform both risk-based and cohort screening. An added benefit of cohort screening is that it can help identify potentially infected patients who may not self-report accurately. "I see patients who are bank presidents and so on who conveniently have forgotten they used IV drugs or cocaine once or twice in the 70s," Dr. Carey noted dryly.
But Dr. Carey explained that although all-oral therapy options like sofosbuvir + ledipasuir are highly effective, their cost can be "staggering" for patients. "The biggest hurdle these days is not can we treat and eradicate hepatitis C, but can we get insurance companies to reimburse," he stated. "One can only hope that with newer drugs coming online, there will be [downward] pressure on cost." New oral treatment options are expected to enter the marketplace in late 2014 or early 2015.
But overall, it's an exciting time in the fight against hepatitis C. Dr. Carey shared a letter from a patient who had seen significant improvement in her viral counts after two weeks of treatment and experienced only mild side effects. She wrote that she felt she had been given a second chance at life, telling Dr. Carey, "This is the best present I could ever receive."
