These rare and primitive space rocks, called carbonaceous chondrites, act as time capsules, providing astronomers with a window into the formation of the Sun and planets, four and a half billion years ago.
Carbonaceous chondrites also contain organic carbon molecules, materials that may be the precursors to life on Earth.
The meteorite was spotted as a fast moving fireball in the skies over California and Nevada on the morning of 22 April 2012, and tracked by US Air Force and doppler weather radar installations.
This allowed scientists to quickly recover several fragments in the Sutter's Mill area, before they were contaminated by rain, which would alter their composition.
Sutter's Mill became world famous in 1848 as the location that sparked the California gold rush.
An analysis carried out by researchers including Dr Peter Jenniskens from the SETI Institute and NASA's Ames Research Center, confirmed the unusually pristine condition of three fragments.
According to Jenniskens, the three and a half metre wide meteor, airburst with the force of a four kilotonne impact over the Sierra Nevada foothills.

ND Supreme Court Asked to Take Fighting Sioux Case(AP) — North Dakota's Supreme Court should block a June referendum on the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname because the law requiring the nickname to be used is unconstitutional, an assistant attorney general argued Friday.
By: Dale Wetzel, Associated Press
(AP) — North Dakota's Supreme Court should block a June referendum on the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname because the law requiring the nickname to be used is unconstitutional, an assistant attorney general argued Friday.
Douglas Bahr, who is representing North Dakota's Board of Higher Education in the nickname dispute, asked the Supreme Court on Friday to hear the case without first referring it to a state district judge for scrutiny. The Supreme Court normally hears appeals from lower courts, and it is unusual for the court to consider a dispute that has not been reviewed elsewhere first.
Penny Miller, the Supreme Court's chief clerk, said Friday the justices would review the request.
The Board of Higher Education is suing Secretary of State Al Jaeger in the case. Jaeger is checking referendum petitions filed by nickname supporters and will decide next month whether they are sufficient to put the issue on the June 12 primary ballot.
Backers of the Fighting Sioux nickname want to reinstate permanently a state law that says the University of North Dakota must use its Fighting Sioux athletics nickname and a logo that shows an American Indian warrior's profile.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed the law last March. It took effect Aug. 1 but was repealed by the Legislature in November, after the law's critics said it had not accomplished its purpose of reversing NCAA opposition to the Fighting Sioux nickname, which the association considers derogatory toward American Indians.
After the Legislature rejected the pro-nickname law, the moniker's supporters circulated referendum petitions asking that its fate be decided in a statewide vote. They filed almost 17,000 signatures Feb. 7, which temporarily resurrected the law and triggered the reintroduction of NCAA sanctions.
The lawsuit asks the Supreme Court to rule the pro-nickname law unconstitutional and to block Jaeger from putting the referendum on the June ballot.
The North Dakota Constitution requires the Supreme Court to hear the case without first referring it to a lower court, Bahr asserted in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on Friday. The University of North Dakota "will suffer significant harm" if the nickname dispute is allowed to linger until June, he wrote.
Bahr also said the state constitution gives the Board of Higher Education expansive power over the state's system of public colleges and the Supreme Court affirmed that authority in an April 2010 ruling on a separate dispute over the nickname.
"Although the Legislature has limited authority to pass laws regarding organizing the work of the (higher education) institutions, it lacks authority to control and manage the administration of the institutions, including what nickname and logo an institution's sports teams will use," Bahr wrote. "The decision to keep or drop UND's nickname and logo falls within the exclusive authority of the board."
The nickname's backers claim the Board of Higher Education is disregarding public sentiment by attempting to derail a June vote.
"We only ask for the opportunity for our voice to be heard. We ask that all the people may vote on this important issue," nickname advocates said in a statement this week. "Understand that we do not wish any harm to come to UND or its students."
NCAA sanctions bar UND from hosting post-season tournaments, and its teams may not wear the logo or nickname on uniforms during post-season play. Other schools have been asked to avoid scheduling UND teams.
The attorney general normally represents North Dakota agencies, but because the lawsuit pits one state agency against another, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem plans to appoint an outside attorney to represent Jaeger. The secretary of state said Friday he did not know yet who his attorney would be.

10 Fun Tips to Prevent Academic Regression During Summer Break
Published: June 01, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Summer regression is a real problem that students, parents, and teachers face every year. You can break your head trying to find fun, engaging activities to do with your kids to keep them learning. Oh, not to mention you are on a budget. You need the right balance of fun, cheap, and educational tasks. Try out these cool summer tips to keep your children's imaginations flowing like a front yard water sprinkler.
1. Puppet show. All you need are a couple of old socks that don't have a partner anymore and some craft supplies you have around the house. There is no situation that a good pair of googly eyes and some yarn can't handle. Pick your favorite story and set up a bed sheet or cardboard box stage. Have you kids retell the story for family or a plush animal audience. This will reiterate your kid's story recall skills and comprehension.
2. Newscast. This is a great idea for older kids. All you will need is a youtube account and a video camera. Most smartphones come with a video recording application. Encourage your kids to watch or read age appropriate news and retell it. Borrow some news room costumes from mom and dad's closet and get ready to go live. This will boost your child's ability to analyze and comprehend non-fiction texts.
3. Get Cooking. This idea is great for all ages. Go online and find a age appropriate recipe. Think about making some summer punch or a knock out pasta salad. Take your confection to your next summer picnic or party. Cooking is a fun and easy way to teach measurement. This will help your child with basic math skills set and capacity measurement.
4. Garden. This is another great idea for all ages. Odds are you have plenty of seeds sitting in your kitchen. You can practically raid your pantry for fruits, nuts, and berries. Make a special place in your backyard or start a small garden indoors with some plastic cups. Gardens are an awesome way to teach kids the life process and the life cycle. This helps your child get a better understanding about life sciences and making hypotheses.
5. Act up. If the puppet show was too juvenile for your older kids this idea should strike the right chord. Get a group of friends together and find a favorite book or movie that you could write and alternative ending to. Make some costumes out of what you have in your closet and some hot glue and let the curtain fall. Theater is a great way to build teamwork and foster creative writing.Continued on the next page

Dating in Hollywood's spotlight can be thrilling and challenging for celebrities. While it can be intense for the stars to navigate love with their partner under the microscope of the media and paparazzi, it's even more problematic when couples break-up and part ways. As we know, breaking up is hard to do and many couples do not remain on amicable terms. However, here is a look at several celebrity couples who have managed to stay friends after ending their romance.
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis:
Demi and Bruce were married for over a decade, are parents to three daughters, and also have the "biggest drama-free divorce in Hollywood". During Demi's six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher, it was widely publicized that Bruce spent time with Demi, Ashton, and the kids (the gang appeared everywhere together from red carpets to exotic vacations!). When Demi and Ashton's marriage dissolved, Bruce was a shoulder for his former wife to cry on. So what's the secret to the harmony between them? Many speculate it is their shared devotion to their kids, and the fact that their union dissolved without any rumors of infidelity.
Related: Demi Moore Proves There's Hope After Divorce
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe:
Reese and Ryan married young and split after seven years of marriage. The marriage produced two children, and the grounds of divorce were reported as "irreconcilable differences". However, in the several years that have passed since they parted ways romantically, it's apparent that this duo has stayed tight and they have a fantastic friendship. In fact, Ryan and Reese are frequently spotted (with Reese's current husband, Jim Toth) watching their son's soccer games together! Hollywood insiders believe the secret to Reese and Ryan's friendship is open lines of communication and talking through any issues that come up.
Related: Reese Witherspoon Says Married Life Feels Great
Kendra Wilkinson and Hugh Hefner:
Kendra became a star by living in the Playboy mansion as one of Hugh's girlfriends. Kendra ended her romantic relationship with Hugh, but the couple remained so friendly that Kendra and Hank Baskett were married at the Playboy mansion, and it was initially reported that Hugh would give the bride away during her wedding ceremony! Kendra has a young son with Baskett, and she's made it known she wants her son to call Hugh "The Godfather". Recently, Kendra was quoted saying she wanted to kill Hugh's current wife, Crystal Harris, because she is skeptical of her intentions. This statement is evidence of the deep friendship between Kendra and Hugh; it's obvious these two always have the others best interest in mind, and they aren't afraid to stand up for each other when necessary!
It's certainly not common for celebrity couples to remain friends after the romance fizzles, but it is reassuring to see how these couples have made it work and stayed close. There are obviously lessons to be learned from Demi and Bruce, Reese and Ryan, and Kendra and Hugh. Tell Cupid: what do you think is the most important advice for two people transitioning from lovers to buddies?
Connect With Cupid...
Taylor Hughes
When going to lovers to friends make sure to set sexual boundaries and stick to them, if not you'll find yourself in a friends with benefits type situation- trust me, I know from experience
Maureen B
So nice that these celebrity couples remain friends, I think it has a lot to do with the kids!
Natalie Porche
I expected that Kendra would remain friendly with Hugh, I mean she did share him with other girlfriends to begin with lol
Alisha L
I am still friendly with my ex, my current boyfriend found it strange at first but now everything is all good! I don't think burning bridges whether it be a boyfriend, friend, job, anything- is ever a good idea.

In Memoriam: Greg Cherry
Amy Futa remembers friend and colleague Gregory A. Cherry.
Gregory A. Cherry (1940–2007)
by Amy E. Futa
(from African Arts Winter 2007)
Greg Cherry was five months into what was expected to be a long and contented retirement when his heart decided otherwise. The news of his death was stunning: I'd simply forgotten about his chronic heart condition. Greg, you see, was always so active, so sturdy. He would come to work triumphant despite aching muscles, having spent the weekend doing battle with the monster vinca that dwelled at the bottom of his hill. He regularly lifted backbreaking garden pots and sacks. He hauled receptacles of trash and green waste up and down his treacherous 120-foot driveway where, some years back, he had fallen and shattered his ankle while chasing a coyote away from his cat. That driveway had to be taken slowly: Leaning into your trudge up to the house, you felt as though your nose would touch blacktop.
In 1988 Alice McGaughey was about to retire as the art director of African Arts. Alice and I (as executive editor) had interviewed a parade of would-be successors with growing dismay, until Greg walked in with his portfolio and his deliciously dark sense of humor. His credentials were perfect. A graduate of
In those days, a publication designer's hands would wield an X-acto knife, pantograph, ruler, and brush laden with rubber cement to prepare and position type and images. Each perfect page board would then be photographed for printing. That kind of meticulous dexterity is no longer called for, of course, and Greg and I used to grouse about how computers had neutralized the once distinguishing requirements of our crafts—those hand skills in his case, a knack for spelling in mine.
The journal's transition to computer production was traumatic. Don't snicker, you pitiless youth, you who grew up with fingers flashing over a keyboard, who think nothing of downloading and uploading and who can't wait to install the latest operating system! You have no idea what it was like to be dropped, white-haired, into the high-tech wilderness, with publication deadlines howling at your back. Greg howled too, until patient ad-hoc consultants (among them, African-art historian Elisabeth Cameron, then a PhD student with a surprising background in computers) came to the rescue and set his feet on the electronic path.
You couldn't blame the guy for turning the air blue with frustration. The journal didn't have the financial means to keep up with the maddening twists and turns in that path-turned-road-turned-superhighway. We plugged along with our aging computers and software until they were no longer compatible with anyone else's. At some point authors began to send us CDs, which (#$*!) didn't fit into our little slots for 3½" floppy disks. Greg's underpowered Mac couldn't open highresolution image files, or it might take an hour to download a single picture. When we couldn't afford the large monitor that would allow him to lay out double-page spreads onscreen in color, he worked miracles on his old black-and-white. In those days an author might provide JPEGs without corresponding color prints for reference, and Greg would be reduced to asking, "So tell me, is this textile green or is it red?" It was a stressful situation for any designer, and especially for a perfectionist like Greg.
Yet his eye and, yes, his hands (now comfortably on keyboard and mouse) turned African Arts into a visual feast. The most frequent reaction to the journal was "It's beautiful!" Especially in the last few years of his career, Greg seemed to enjoy exploring the virtual tools of publications software, his own design matching the richness of the arts presented in each issue. When he retired in September 2006, he didn't hesitate for a second: He bought his first personal computer.
Greg had other interests too. He loved music of all kinds, except for rap and opera. He liked to work the New York Times crossword puzzle. He was a good cook. He favored all four-footed creatures, but cats most of all—retirement meant he could be a stay-at home dad to his beloved Willie, on whom he lavished the most tender of affections. As for human babies and small children, the sounds of babbling and high-pitched voices in the hallway would invariably provoke the comment "Quick, get the bug spray!" Yet he was attentive and kind to my son, who always regarded him with fondness.
One could argue that Greg's greatest achievement was his garden. Because his house was on a steep slope, he worked mostly in pots. These were arranged by the tens and hundreds on his large front deck and all around to the back patio, a mind-blowing collection of euphorbias and other exotic succulents, many of them rare. It was gloriously mad to garden this way. Each pot had to be watered individually (every day during the summer months), each pot had to be weeded, and each overgrown specimen had to be divided and repotted—and its offspring found homes with responsible foster parents. In the autumn and following Southern California's
After Greg died, it was clear that no one else could properly tend the garden, and his family decided it would be a shame to break up what had been so carefully and lovingly amassed over several decades. Connie phoned the
As it happened, a record frost a few weeks earlier had severely damaged the
The production staff of any publication is largely anonymous to its readers, or known only as names on a masthead. I worked seven feet away from Greg for more than fifteen years, spending more waking hours with him than with my husband. He was difficult, sweet, funny, opinionated, shy, bawdy, and refined. Over the years we joked and complained together—and sometimes about each other, though there was always a mutual understanding of our kindred sensibility. I have also lately realized, with an acute sense of loss, that Greg was the only person in the world who truly knew what I did at African Arts, year to year, day to day, paragraph to paragraph, sentence to sentence. Those of you who appreciated Greg's contribution to the journal may wish to pause to give him his due as a talented professional. I pause now, to acknowledge his place in my own personal history as a colleague and friend.
Amy E. Futa retired as executive editor of African Arts in 2004.

"A friend previously used Tiny Prints and recommended I try it. I was not disappointed! I ordered the matte cards and return address envelopes and the print quality is fantastic. I asked for a designer review to move a heading on the card so my picture could fit and a proof was emailed to me within 24 hours to approve. Perfect! Also the shipping was extremely fast and I was able to track my order from the US to my home address in Sydney, Australia. I will definitely use this service again in future."
"Loved how my announcement turned out. The paper quality of the cards and envelopes were excellent. The long shape of the card, I feel, made it unique."
"We ordered this announcement after the birth of our son. It was perfect...simple and classic. I was looking for an announcement that did not say "introducing" since we were a little late get these out. The "say hello to" was exactly what I was looking for. I picked a picture with a lighter background so the white font was a little difficult to see, but that was my own choosing. Overall, highly recommend this announcement."
"I loved this announcement! I used the shimmer paper and it gave it that extra sheen that makes it sparkle just a little. I laced a picture on the back with the dark pink background. So perfect."
"I love this design because it is simple yet cute! It puts the main focus on the picture of Baby Girl, which is what is most important to me! This announcement came exactly how it looked when we designed it online! Perfect!"

Breast Cancer - Diagnosis
Doctors use many tests to diagnose cancer and find out if it has spread to other parts of the body beyond the breast. Some tests may also help the doctor decide which treatments may be the most effective. For most types of cancer, a biopsy (the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope) is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis of cancer. If a biopsy is not possible, the doctor may suggest other tests that will help make a diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether the cancer has metastasized. Your doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
- Age and medical condition
- Type of cancer suspected
- Severity of symptoms
- Previous test results
The diagnosis of breast cancer usually begins when a woman or her doctor discover a mass or abnormal calcification on a screening mammogram, or an abnormality in the woman's breast by clinical or self-examination. Several tests are usually performed to confirm a diagnosis of breast cancer.
The following tests may be used to diagnose breast cancer or for follow-up testing after the cancer has been diagnosed. Not every person will have all of these tests, and some imaging tests are not recommended if there are no signs that the cancer has spread [2].
Imaging tests
Diagnostic mammography [3]. Diagnostic mammography is similar to screening mammography except that more views (pictures) of the breast are taken, and it is often used when a woman is experiencing signs, such as nipple discharge or a new lump. Diagnostic mammography may also be used if something suspicious is found on a screening mammogram.
Ultrasound [4]. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the breast tissue. An ultrasound can distinguish between a solid mass, which may be cancer, and a fluid-filled cyst, which is usually not cancer. Ultrasounds are not used for screening.
MRI [5]. An MRI uses magnetic fields, not x-rays, to produce detailed images of the body. A contrast medium (a special dye) is injected into a patient's vein to create a clearer picture of the breast. A breast MRI may be used once a woman has been diagnosed with cancer to check the other breast for cancer or to find out how much the disease has grown throughout the breast. It may also be used for screening, particularly along with mammography for some women with a high risk of breast cancer (see Prevention [6]).
Surgical tests
Biopsy [7]. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope. Other tests can suggest that cancer is present, but only a biopsy can make a definite diagnosis. The sample removed during the biopsy is analyzed by a pathologist. There are different types of biopsies, classified by the technique and/or size of needle used to collect the tissue sample.
- A fine needle aspiration biopsy uses a thin needle to remove a small sample of cells.
- A core needle biopsy uses a thicker needle to remove a larger sample of tissue. This is usually the preferred biopsy technique for finding out whether an abnormality on a physical examination or an imaging test is cancer. A vacuum-assisted biopsy removes several large cores of tissue. Local anesthesia (medication to block the awareness of pain) is used to lessen a patient's discomfort.
- Image-guided biopsy is used when a distinct lump can't be felt, but an abnormality is seen with an imaging test, such as a mammogram. During this procedure, a needle is guided to the location with the help of an imaging technique, such as mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. A stereotactic biopsy is done using mammography to help guide the needle. A small metal clip may be put into the breast to mark where the biopsy sample was taken, in case the tissue is cancerous and more surgery is needed. An image-guided biopsy can be done using a fine needle, core, or vacuum-assisted biopsy (see above), depending on the amount of tissue being removed. Imaging tests may also be used to help do a biopsy on a lump that can be felt, in order to help find the best location.
- A surgical biopsy removes the largest amount of tissue. This biopsy may be incisional (removal of part of the lump) or excisional (removal of the entire lump). Because definitive surgery is best done after a cancer diagnosis has been made, a surgical biopsy is usually not the recommended way to diagnose breast cancer. Most often, non-surgical core biopsies are recommended to diagnose breast cancer. This means that only one surgical procedure is needed to remove the tumor and to take samples of the lymph nodes.
If cancer is diagnosed, surgery is needed to remove the cancer in the breast and evaluate the lymph nodes for cancer (called a sentinel lymph node biopsy; see Treatment [8]), although treatment may be given first (called neoadjuvant therapy, see Treatment [8]). The goal is to achieve clear surgical margins (no cancer cells at the edge of the tissue removed during surgery). If there is cancer in the lymph nodes, the cancer is called lymph node-positive breast cancer (or node-positive, for short); if there is no cancer in the lymph nodes, the cancer is called lymph node-negative breast cancer (or node-negative, for short). More information about lymph node evaluation can be found in Staging [9].
Tumor features. Examination of the tumor under the microscope determines if it is invasive or in situ; ductal or lobular; the grade (how different the cancer cells look from healthy cells); and whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. The margins (edges) of the tumor are also examined and their distance from the tumor is measured.
Molecular testing of the tumor
Your doctor may recommend additional laboratory tests on your tumor sample to identify specific genes, proteins, and other factors unique to the tumor. Results of these tests will help your doctor recommend treatment.
Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) tests. Breast cancer cells with these receptors depend on the hormones estrogen and/or progesterone to grow. The presence of these receptors helps determine both the patient's risk of recurrence and the type of treatment will be most likely to prevent recurrence. Generally, hormonal therapy (see Treatment [8]) works well for ER-positive or PR-positive tumors, but chemotherapy is also used in specific situations. About 75% to 80% of breast cancers have estrogen and/or progesterone receptors. Learn about ER and PR testing recommendations from ASCO and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) [10].
HER2 tests. About 20% to 25% of breast cancers have an increase in the number of copies of a gene called the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2). This is called HER2-positive cancer. The gene makes a protein which is found on the cancer cell and is important in tumor cell growth; these types of cancers usually grow more quickly. The HER2 status helps determine whether a certain type of drug, such as trastuzumab (Herceptin), lapatinib (Tykerb), pertuzumab (Perjeta), or trastuzumab emtansine (TDM-1) might help treat the cancer. In addition, about 50% of HER2-positive tumors also have other positive hormone receptors and can benefit from both types of therapy. Read ASCO's and CAP's recommendations for HER2 testing for breast cancer [11].
If a person's tumor does not have ER, PR, and/or HER2, the tumor is called triple-negative. Triple-negative breast cancers make up about 15% of invasive breast cancers and are the most common type diagnosed in women with BRCA1 mutations. This type of breast cancer usually grows and spreads more quickly. Triple-negative breast cancer seems to be more common among younger women, particularly younger black women.
Ki67. How quickly a cell divides into two cells, called tumor proliferation, can be measured in a tumor sample and is referred to as Ki67 or MIB1. How well chemotherapy works to treat a tumor has been linked with how quickly tumor cells grow and divide. Chemotherapy seems to work best for tumors cells that grow more quickly and hormonal therapy tends to work better for slower growing cancers. Ki67 is not used in many hospitals because the results depend on the laboratory doing the testing or how the testing is done. However, there has been interest in standardizing the testing methods so measuring tumor proliferation is becoming more common.
Genetic testing of the tumor. Tests that look at the biology of the tumor are commonly used to understand more about a woman's breast cancer, particularly for cancers that have not spread to other organs. The tests below look at the genes in the tumor sample (not a person's inherited genes) to help predict the risk of cancer recurrence, and to help choose treatment. They are usually done after surgery (see Treatment [8]). A person with a higher risk of recurrence will likely need chemotherapy, while a person with a lower risk of recurrence can possibly avoid these treatments and their potential side effects. For more information about genetic tests, what they mean, and how the results might affect your treatment plan, talk with your doctor.
- Oncotype Dx™ (the recurrence score) is a test that evaluates 16 cancer-related genes and five reference genes to estimate the risk of distant recurrence (return of the cancer in a place other than the breast) within 10 years after diagnosis for women with stage I or stage II (see Staging [9]), node-negative, ER-positive breast cancer treated with hormonal therapy alone. It is mainly used to help make decisions about whether chemotherapy should be added to a person's treatment. Recent research suggests that this test might be useful to decide about use of chemotherapy in node-positive disease in some situations.
- Mammaprint™ is another, similar test using information about 70 genes to predict the risk of the cancer coming back for early-stage, low-risk breast cancer. It is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for estimating the risk of recurrence in early-stage breast cancer, but has not been studied specifically as a way to predict if chemotherapy will work.
Blood tests
The doctor may also need to do several types of blood tests [12] to learn more about the cancer:
Serum chemistry. These tests are often done to look at blood electrolytes (minerals in your body, such as potassium and calcium) and enzymes (specialized proteins) that can be abnormal if cancer has spread. However, many noncancerous conditions can cause changes in these tests, and they are not specific to cancer.
- Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that can be associated with disease that has spread to the liver, bone, or bile ducts.
- Blood calcium levels can be high if cancer has spread to the bone.
- Total bilirubin count and the enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) evaluate liver function. High levels of any of these substances can indicate liver damage, a sign that the cancer may have spread to that organ.
Blood tumor marker tests. A serum tumor marker (also called a biomarker) are proteins found in a person's blood that can be associated with cancer. High levels of a serum tumor marker may be due to cancer or a noncancerous condition. Tumor marker testing is not recommended for early-stage breast cancer (and the markers are not usually high), but they may be useful to monitor recurrent or metastatic disease. Learn more about tumor markers for breast cancer [13].
Additional tests
The doctor may recommend additional tests (depending on the patient's medical history, symptoms, how much the disease has grown in the breast and lymph nodes, and the results of the physical examination) to evaluate the stage of the cancer. Read Staging [9] for more information. Many of these tests may not be done until after surgery. These tests are generally only recommended for patients with later stage disease.
- An x-ray is a way to create a picture of the structures inside of the body, using a small amount of radiation. A chest x-ray may be used to look for cancer that has spread from the breast to the lungs.
- A bone scan [14] may be used to look for spread to the bones. A bone scan uses a radioactive tracer to look at the inside of the bones. The tracer is injected into a patient's vein. It collects in areas of the bone and is detected by a special camera. Healthy bone appears gray to the camera, and areas of injury, such as those caused by cancer, appear dark. Some cancers may not show up on bone scan.
- A computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan [15] may be used to look for tumors in organs outside of the breast, such as the lung, liver, bone, and lymph nodes. A CT scan creates a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body with an x-ray machine. A computer combines these images into a detailed, cross-sectional view that shows any abnormalities or tumors. Sometimes, a contrast medium is injected into a patient's vein to provide better detail.
- A positron emission tomography (PET) scan [16] may be used to find out whether the cancer has spread to organs outside of the breast. A PET scan is a way to create pictures of organs and tissues inside the body. A small amount of radioactive sugar (glucose) is injected into a patient's body. This substance is absorbed more by organs and tissues that use the most energy. Because cancer tends to use energy actively (called metabolically active), it absorbs more of the radioactive substance. A scanner then detects this substance to produce images of the inside of the body. A combination PET/CT scan [17] may also be used to better understand if metabolically active areas could be cancer.
Learn more about what to expect when having common tests, procedures, and scans [18].
After these diagnostic tests are done, your doctor will review all of the results with you. If the diagnosis is cancer, these results also help the doctor describe the cancer; this is called staging [9]. Learn more about the first steps to take after a diagnosis of cancer [19].

Creating DUmmies
Here are the new rules.!Dallas school superintendent Michael Hinojosa and two trustees defended new classroom grading rules Friday, and urged teachers and parents to learn more about the requirements before dismissing them as misguided.
DISD plan to ease grading standards angers teachers
Teachers have derided the new rules as being too lenient on lazy students by requiring teachers to accept late work, give retests to students who fail and force teachers to drop homework grades that would drag down a student's class average.
But Dr. Hinojosa asked teachers and parents to consider that in the long run the rules will help more students succeed.
The dumbing down of America continues.Homework grades should be given only when the grades will "raise a student's average, not lower it."
Teachers must accept overdue assignments, and their principal will decide whether students are to be penalized for missing deadlines.
Students who flunk tests can retake the exam and keep the higher grade.
Teachers cannot give a zero on an assignment unless they call parents and make "efforts to assist students in completing the work."
High school teachers who fail more than 20 percent of their students will need to develop a professional improvement plan and will be monitored by their principals. For middle school the rate is 15 percent; for elementary it's 10 percent.

Classic, comfortable
This is my second Bosca product. The first was a gift from my wife who selected for me a bi-fold wallet, which I have employed for over a decade. I was shopping for something as classic, but thinner and that would fit my more recent minimalist needs. The craftsmanship is outstanding. The clip is easily strong enough to hold ten folded bills. I liked the inside pocket that will stash a receipt or other paper slip. The shipping was timely. I would have liked a thumb hole for the window to ease sliding out an identification card. I think Cognac was the only selection available at the time of my purchase. I am pleased with the purchase, but it would have been nice to have had other choices then.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The quest to build upon the Seattle Seahawks' first Super Bowl title began in earnest for general manager John Schneider upon landing in at the NFL Scouting Combine.
He harped on the desire to build a sustained winner and not "buzz" in for one Lombardi Trophy and then fade away.
An offseason rife with big decisions gets rolling with teams beginning to talk to pending free agents and the Seahawks' personnel department taking the next big step in compiling prospect evaluations for May's NFL Draft.
The Seahawks have 13 pending free agents, none of whom figure to receive the franchise tag. However, there are several key contributors who will gauge the market's interest in their services, chief among them wide receiver Golden Tate and defensive end Michael Bennett.
"It's important for us, it's a huge goal for us to keep this team together for as long as possible," Schneider said. "We have some tough decisions to make. We have to work through those issues."
While Tate backtracked a bit from originally indicating he may give the Seahawks a "hometown discount," Bennett was clear that while he would like to return to Seattle, he won't accept a bargain price.
"He is a big priority for us," Schneider said of Tate. "We have a number of free agents. Golden knows we love him and how much we want him back."
The reality is the Seahawks will not be able to retain everyone. Other key pending free agents include defensive tackles Tony McDaniel and Clinton McDonald and offensive linemen Breno Giacomini and Paul McQuistan.
Working in Seattle's favor are recent home runs hit in the middle and late rounds of the NFL Draft, landing the likes of stars including quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman, who are still playing under their rookie contracts. While Sherman is eligible to renegotiate his deal this offseason, having players locked into lower-priced rookie deals enables the Seahawks to target the likes of Bennett with one-year deals.
"The rules are what they are, it has been a good deal for us," Schneider acknowledged while pointing out the collective bargaining agreement prevents the team from even approaching Wilson with a new contract until next offseason. "Those are the rules, and we have to abide by them."
The pressure for Schneider and coach Pete Carroll will come in continuing to replace departing veterans through the draft. Seattle has seven picks in May's draft, including No. 32 overall, and the "war room" on draft day remains a collaborative effort.
"We're very open with our communication," said Schneider. "When we pick a player, we have a cool buy-in environment from the coaches."
Schneider also chuckled at the notion the Seahawks have a "blueprint" that other franchise will now attempt to replicate. He views the evaluation process as unique to each player and a simple result of attempting to improve the team on a daily basis.
He did acknowledge the Seahawks built an environment in which competition and having fun hold equal importance.
"We're outgoing, fun, aggressive ... life is too short to stress yourself out and stress other people out," Schneider said.
While fostering a laid-back environment, the Seahawks managed to win their first Super Bowl title with one of the league's youngest rosters.
"It's a fun culture. We have fun, and we work our butts off 24/7," he said. "We just asked that you don't take advantage of it."
--Running back Marshawn Lynch agreed to plead guilty to reckless driving in Oakland, Calif., stemming from a 2012 DUI charge, according to ESPN.
"We have a strong case for trial and could win the case, but the last thing he needs is to go through a public trial," said Ivan Golde, Lynch's attorney. "He's a Super Bowl champion, and he has endorsements pending. For a guy in his position, it just doesn't make any sense to go through a public trial. He has a lot at stake here. You know Marshawn. He's not a media guy. It wouldn't have been good for him to go through all that."
Lynch will receive two years of probation and a monetary fine to be determined by the judge, according to the report. It is unknown if he will face further discipline from the NFL.
"I can't speak for the commissioner (Roger Goodell)," Golde said, "but my feeling is Marshawn is OK and will avoid a suspension."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Things got out of hand. It was a moment of weakness. They all have to have cameras now." -- Seahawks GM John Schneider, on photos that surfaced on social media of him shirtless and wearing a wrestling belt the day before Super Bowl XLVIII.

Get the same versatile, lightweight protection and superior core comfort as our Stride Jacket in a comfy vest cut with the Stride Vest. Featuring DriClime® Bi-Component wicking technology on the inside, and wind resistant, water repellent protection on the outside, this vest keeps the chill out and the dry in. It has a zippered chest pocket with headphone port for packing extra inspiration, and 360? reflectivity for being seen and traveling safe.
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.

Unlike other less expensive systems, the ZEX "Wet" nitrous systems activate at wide-open throttle using advanced electronics that monitor your engine's throttle position sensor voltage to ensure activation at precisely the right time. This makes using your nitrous system very easy and reliable.
Better Nitrous Delivery. Unlike "dry" nitrous systems which inject nitrous directly, ZEX Wet Nitrous Systems connect to your fuel system and controls the amounts of fuel and nitrous using their management unit. The result is better control, complete fuel atomization, and more power.
Application. This Zex Wet Injected Nitrous is designed for use on the 1986-2004 5.0 and 4.6 V8 Mustangs with the stock fuel rails. System requires a minimum fuel pressure of 40 PSI.
Technical Notes. Professional Installation recommended. Requires fuel pressure of 40 PSI.
Mustang Fitment: 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Details >>

Reports of the demise of print at the hands of digital are greatly exaggerated. Despite the huge growth in digital, print still has many roles to play in 21st century B2B business marketing.

Reading Group Holiday Parties
Bonnie asked for suggestions for her book club holiday party. One idea is to read A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote. A children's book, Capote's largely autobiographical story is a look back at his Depression-era Alabama Christmases and his best friend and older cousin, Miss Sook.
The narrator, Capote (nicknamed Buddy) and Miss Sook, a sixty-ish gentle soul, celebrate Christmas by baking fruitcake and distributing them to people known and unknown to them including President Roosevelt. This short story shows Capote's masterful ability to express and reveal the enduring friendship and love of two slightly awkard people.
No spoilers here! It's a lovely Christmas tale and will pull on your heart strings! A Christmas Memory was made into a movie twice. The original film won an Emmy for Geraldine Page, who starred as Miss Sook. Read the book, see the movie, and have everyone bring their favorite fruitcake to share!
Conversation Starters
How does the setting and time period affect the story?
What brings Buddy and Miss Sook together?
What is memory? Do we remember things as they actually were?
Does the fruitcake imply other ideas beside food?
What about the kites? Any symbolism there?
Christmas books
I love the idea of reading a Christmas book for Book Club. My mother always gave me a book about Christmas each year and she always wrote a personal note on the inside. I cherish bringing out these Christmas books each year as they bring back such good memories of my mother. I will have to get the Truman Capote Christmas Memory for myself this year.

"I opened up the sample box and this was the first one out. It really is fab! Heavy paper that gives it that importance that you need. Wonderful beach colors and design!"
"The quality of the invites were better than expected. They look very high end. We ordered all of the accessories and will now be ordering our programs. Don't hesitate they are beautiful!"
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"These arrived last night and I'm simply thrilled with the result.They are for my upcoming winter wedding at a ski resort in British Columbia. I went with rounded edges and paid to have the glossed finished! Perfect!"
"This invitation is unique and entirely charming. The flowers on the front and back look like chalk drawings, which will be easy to replicate on chalk boards at our reception. In person, the invitation looks luxe and super personal - as if we had it designed just for us. We added text to the back at the invitation at no extra charge, which was a huge bonus. I'd highly recommend this design."

The hyperbole and linkbait strategy combine to announce that the past two weeks have been a big deal for the entire Genius and LeadRocket teams. On December 6th we announced Public Beta availability for our new social sales and crm application called LeadRocket. This release is a significant step to our goal of becoming the world's best and most useful social sales application, and the most effective platform for engaging and nurturing business relationships. While this announcement is important to us, we feel strongly it's just as important to you, our sales and marketing customers. As a revenue pro, you know it's critical to track all of your activities – especially conversations that you and your team have with key prospects, partners and clients. LeadRocket makes it easier for you to grow your business network, track email & social conversations, realize measurable value from your social media investments, and actually monetize the social sales process through improved engagement. Engagement is what LeadRocket is all about. Social Sales is difficult to measure unless you can monitor interest level, have conversations, and ENGAGE at the right time.
We think it's simple – but let us explain.
Traditional marketing & sales processes focused on driving demand with awareness messaging, silod PR, and outbound (email/direct mail/ advertising) communications with spotty follow-ups by sales reps usually cherry picking the cream and leaving the milk to rot. Engagement was rarely timed well and was limited to this "cream-skimming" method. This process has changed dramatically as the buying and engagement process has moved to the social sphere. As Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) recently noted "To compete and win in today's market, sales must be social, mobile, and connected; otherwise they're well on their way to irrelevance."
Today, buyers have conversations on Twitter, LinkedIn and beyond to gather information, listen to feedback, and find important details about the market or vendors in a particular area of importance. Engagement now requires new marketing and sales strategies to harness this opportunity, and it's critical. In fact, a 2012 study by the Aberdeen Group found that 79% of sales reps & teams that incorporated social media into their process achieved their quota over the last fiscal year compared to 43% of the Industry Average. How could this be? It's because the traditional sales process is a few touch points with long periods of darkness. Social media, and particularly LinkedIn and Twitter, help transform the sales process into something more engaging and interactive. And as the traditional sales methods continue the march towards phone and web based selling, sales teams need tools that fit the new process.
As the Chief Sales/Marketing Guy for Genius and LeadRocket, I found myself using 5 different applications (including – and most importantly, Genius' own SalesGenius Tracker) to work on building partnerships, nurturing investor relationships, tracking competition, and monitoring customers, all in an effort to better engage. I used Salesforce.com & LinkedIn a bunch. I also tried a variety of social management tools including Tweetdeck & Hootsuite. While I could make them work for me, I found that they were way too complex and heavy-handed for the average sales user, including our own Genius Sales team. One of the key challenges sales teams face in this new, socially connected world is to avoid "technology fatigue" and daily I was "context-switching" between many apps with little-to-no integration between them.
While I made the best of this situation and got used to it, the process was frustrating. I knew that I wasn't alone and as the Social Sphere was growing, so to would be the numbers of frustrated sales teams trying to make it all work. We knew there had to be a better way. The "aha-moment" for me was in speaking with our CTO about extending the Genius.com patented real-time, deep email tracking to include social channels. It was possible, and it would make my life, and all sales users lives easier. So we worked hard to marry the best of the SalesGenius tracking capabilities, with the key social networks to create a unique, easier to use and ENGAGING, social crm.
So what should you do?
Get Twitter-able and start following a few competitors, partners, customers, & friends. Get a LinkedIn account if you don't have one and start by asking some colleagues, friends, partners, or customers to connect. Then get to using LeadRocket! Think of LeadRocket as your personal engagement tracking engine. Today, you can connect your Gmail, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yammer and Facebook accounts. Doing so will allow you to send trackable messages via email, Direct Message on LinkedIn, Private Message on Twitter, or broadcast trackable social posts across any/all channels at one time. As prospects, partners, friends or clients take action on your shared content, you will be notified in real-time in the LeadRocket Engagement Panel with visit replays at your disposal.
In the week. since we opened Public Beta, we have already added some key new features including the ability to redeem LeadRocket Fuel points for schwag and additional entries in the President's Club giveaway. We plan to release more cool features every week or two – some of which include: merge contacts, Salesforce.com integration, Facebook/LinkedIn Pages support, google+ support, deals, contact history, and more.
We are on a path to building the world's most powerful social sales application and CRM. We have work to do, and the road to the goal is long. Your feedback and support are keys in our ability to make it. In this spirit, the Beta Account will remain FREE for all users until further notice. And because LeadRocket includes a points system called Fuel, you could keep it FREE forever simply by using frequently. So come on, visit LeadRocket and get your account (or login if you already have one!) and start engaging today.
