Understanding your risk of breast cancer
Several breast cancer risk assessment tools have been developed to help a woman estimate her chance of developing breast cancer. The best studied is the Gail model (www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool). After you enter some personal and family information, including race/ethnicity, the tool provides you with a five-year and lifetime estimate of the risk of developing invasive breast cancer. Because it only asks for information about breast cancer in first-degree family members (mother, sister) and doesn't include their age at diagnosis, the tool works best at estimating risk in women without a strong inherited breast cancer risk. For some women, other ways of determining the risk of breast cancer may work better. It's important to talk with your doctor about how to find out your personal risk of breast cancer.
Lowering your risk of breast cancer
No intervention is 100% guaranteed to prevent breast cancer. However, depending on a woman's specific risk factors, there are options to lower the risk of developing breast cancer.
- For women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, a prophylactic mastectomy (preventive removal of the breasts) may be considered. This appears to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by at least 95%. Women with mutations may also consider prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy (preventive removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes), which can reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer, as well as breast cancer by stopping the ovaries from making estrogen.
- Women who have a higher than normal risk of developing breast cancer may consider chemoprevention (the use of drugs to reduce breast cancer risk). Two drugs, tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Soltamox) and raloxifene (Evista), are approved to lower breast cancer risk. These drugs are called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). A SERM is a medication that blocks estrogen receptors in some tissues and not others. Postmenopausal women and premenopausal women may take tamoxifen, whereas raloxifene is only approved for postmenopausal women. Each drug also has different side effects. Talk with your doctor about whether you may benefit from chemoprevention for breast cancer. Other drugs are being researched to help prevent breast cancer, including aromatase inhibitors and statins. Read more about drugs to reduce breast cancer risk.
- Other ways to lower your risk of breast cancer include getting regular physical activity, staying at a healthy weight, and limiting the amount of alcohol you drink. Learn about more lifestyle choices that may help lower your risk of breast cancer.
Screening guidelines
Mammography is the best tool doctors have to screen healthy women for breast cancer, as it has been shown to lower deaths from breast cancer. Like any medical test, mammography involves risks, such as additional testing and anxiety if the test falsely shows a possible tumor; this is called a false-positive. Occasionally (up to 10% to 15% of the time), mammography may miss a cancer, called a false-negative result. Digital mammography may be better able to find cancers, particularly in women with dense breasts.
Different organizations have looked at the evidence, risks, and benefits of mammography and have developed slightly different screening schedules:
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women ages 50 to 74 have mammography every two years. They recommend that mammography be considered in women ages 40 to 49 after evaluating the risks and benefits of this test with a doctor.
- The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends yearly mammography beginning at age 40.
All women should talk with their doctors about mammography and decide on an appropriate screening schedule. For women with a higher risk of breast cancer, screening may be recommended at an earlier age or more often than the schedules listed above.
The USPSTF and ACS also differ on their recommendations for clinical breast examinations. The USPSTF recommends a clinical breast examination along with mammography. The ACS recommends a clinical breast examination every one to three years until age 40, then annually.
Finally, although breast self-examination has not been shown to lower deaths from breast cancer, it is important for women to become familiar with their breasts so that they can be aware of any changes and report these to their doctor. Sometimes a cancer that is growing more quickly can be found by breast examinations between regular mammograms.
Other ways to examine the breasts, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are not regularly used to screen for breast cancer. However, they may be helpful for women with a higher risk of breast cancer or when an abnormal change is found during an examination. According to the ACS, women at high risk for breast cancer (for example, women with BRCA gene mutations, a strong family history of breast cancer, or precancerous changes on a biopsy) should receive MRI screening and mammography, although not necessarily at the same time. MRI may be better than mammography and ultrasound at finding a small mass in a woman's breast, especially for women with very dense breast tissue. However, an MRI has a higher rate of false-positive test results, which may mean more biopsies, surgeries, and other tests. In addition, an MRI does not show calcifications (tiny spots of calcium usually found on an x-ray), a sign of in situ breast cancer (DCIS).
Ultrasound or MRI may also be used for women with a suspicious breast change in a physical examination or mammography. If there are suspicious changes during a physical examination, further testing is needed, even if the mammogram is seen as normal. Women are encouraged to talk with their doctor about the method of screening recommended for them and how often screening is needed.

Another year, another postseason without the Cubs. Just taking a quick poll for those interested on where BN readers allegience lie regarding the play-offs...here are my rankings (based on who I want to win, not who I think will win.
1. A's- growing up they were always my "American League" team(as a Cubs' fan, I probably shoul have had another NL team too)...how can you not like Rickey Henderson when you are 12?....and those 70's A's teams were so cool
2. Rays- I have picked them to win the World Series the last 4 years, and I will keep picking them until they do.
3. Pirates- nice story...doubt it will happen...a little suspicious of one Marlon Byrd
4. Dodgers- not many people like them, but I like Kershaw, and this is Jackie Robinson's team...this should give them at least 100 years of good karma
5. Tigers- meh, Detroit could use some good news...if they win the wild dogs and coyotes that have taken over the abandoned neighborhoods could have one Hell of a party
6. Braves- I just don't really like this team...the fans take the success for granted...no thanks
7. Red Sox- I used to feel a kindred spirit type thing with the Cubs and the Red Sox with their "curse"...then they won....and they have become...ummm...different
8. Cardinals- This would be absolute Hell...if the Cardinal fans I know become any more arrogant I think they will actually morph into Tim McCarver....and we will have thousands of Tim McCarvers running around.....oh, the hummanity
105 coming soon....

Oregon's Wheeler: Consider climate change in state investments
By Andy Giegerich
Digital Managing Editor
Oregon Treasurer Ted Wheeler wants the state to consider whether investments take climate change factors into account.
Oregon's treasurer was one of 22 financial bodies that this week called for American policymakers to consider climate change factors when making investments.
Ted Wheeler joined the California State Teachers Retirement System and 20 other groups that represent about $240 billion in assets under management in signing the Climate Declaration. The declaration deems that addressing climate change "is one of America's greatest economic opportunities of the 21st century."
Intel Corp. and Nike Inc. are among the corporations that back the declaration.
"Being smarter when it comes to climate change is the right thing to do for all of our families, and it also will translate into economic and investment opportunities," said Wheeler in a release. "I am proud to stand with Oregon's largest employers and premier ski destinations to recognize that a cleaner future will also be a more profitable one."
The announcement coincides with the start of the first Global Investor Forum on Climate Change, , sponsored by the Ceres group.
Oregon's State Treasury manages an $82.4 billion portfolio.

Excellent Food, comfortable setting – This is a nice place for the more formal type ocassion. Gorgeous setting, and even lunches are delightful.
Not Exceptional – The servicer was not attended to smaller parties and took a long time to refill beverages. The mimosa was not chilled and did not use fresh orange juice. The raw bar was not a raw bar it only had chilled shrimp and their poach eggs were over cooked. The host did not address the issue at hand and I would not return to the Evergreen Restaurant.
Traditional New England inn serves up classic American cuisine. – The Scene
An excellent choice for special occasions or an intimate dinner for two, this elegant restaurant trains its friendly staff to pamper patrons. Couples and families soak up the sumptuous atmosphere in the dining room that features stately pillars, plush carpet and luxuriously spaced tables. A pianist completes upscale hotel dining at its finest.
The Food
Nestled on a bed of bitter greens, the seared ahi tuna appetizer is crusted in pepper and laced with creamy, roasted garlic aioli. Prosciutto, tangy cheeses and fresh herbs top baked, stuffed mushroom caps bathed in butter and wine. Carnivores delight in mild grilled rack of lamb, glazed in pesto and served with crisp veggies and saffron orzo. Mashed Yukon gold potatoes soak up juices from the crusty, pan-seared salmon steak. Diners in the know save room for dessert--especially the velvety, warm bread pudding topped with whipped cream and chocolate pecan bourbon tart festooned with white chocolate curls.

THE CURRENT CINEMA reviews of "Gangster Squad" and "Jack Reacher." "Gangster Squad" is set in 1949, when pretty much everything in Los Angeles—drugs, brothels, casinos, cops, and politicians—lies in thrall to Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn), a Brooklyn-born despot who still doesn't know which fork to use for his entrée. The only man uncowed enough to oppose him is Police Chief William Parker—played by what the writer took to be a large expanse of solid oak panelling, though on closer inspection it turned out to be Nick Nolte. Parker asks Sergeant John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) to rustle up a few colleagues, in secret, and bring Cohen down at any cost. The most fun you can have with "Gangster Squad," which was written by Will Beall, is to lay bets, before you see it, on the range of archetypes within the squad. Writer likes to think that he would have predicted the gruff, old-school gunslinger (Robert Patrick), though the presence of an eager Hispanic rookie (Michael Peña) as a sidekick was too blatant even for his calculations. Then there is the young black officer (Anthony Mackie), switchblade-quick, whom we first meet, needless to say, at a Burbank joint that is nothing if not jumpin'. Add the shy communications expert (Giovanni Ribisi) with the adoring blond son—guess where that is heading—and we're almost done. All that's required to complete the set is the lazy Lothario (Ryan Gosling) who needs a jolt of conscience before he can join the team. The encounter between Gosling and Emma Stone, who plays Mickey's current squeeze, hints at the richness of feeling that the rest of the movie struggles in vain to catch. Christopher McQuarrie's "Jack Reacher," starring Tom Cruise, is a trim thriller with an enviable lack of grandeur. It sports a fine car chase, some screeching ninety-degree turns in the plot, and, for Tom Cruise fanatics, an ominous shortage of grins. Is a star as solid as he is really the right choice to play a ghostly drifter of no fixed abode? But McQuarrie has an ace, in the shape of his supporting cast: not just Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, and Robert Duvall but a dead-eyed Werner Herzog, no less, in the role—at once camp and genuinely frightening—of an icy mastermind. Writer briefly discusses connections between movie violence and real-life violence, particularly in reference to recent shootings in Aurora, Colorado, and Newtown, Connecticut.

I would not recommend this rug to anyone. The colors are dull and the rug was dirty. The manufacturer needs to clean the rugs before rolling and shipping them. If I didn't have to pay shipping to return this item I would send it back
First off, this rug is beautiful and I am glad I bought it. I had read all the reviews for this, and was concerned about the color as so many people said that it is BLUE-grey. However, the room I put it in has grey walls, and in natural lighting the rug looks a TINY bit green-grey, but with indoor lighting, it looks truly grey. Greys can vary so much (as do many colors), and so I would definitely consider this rug to be GREY. My only complaint is that the rug is not as big as the dimensions on here say. I measured it, and it came out to be 7'10" x 4'8". Now this isn't a big deal to me, but overall that is a half-foot difference from what it is listed as. Would recommend this!
I was a little disappointed in this rug, probably because I expected it to be bluish-grey based on the picture, but it's actually a colorless light grey, which just didn't look right in my room. I've moved it to three different rooms to try to make it work.
The rug is beautifull. I was looking for a blueish rug so this worked for me. However came very dusty, I guess from the place the made it. Had to vacumm a couple of times because there were dust everywhere. But other than that it looks really nice. I'm just hoping my daugther doesn't get allergy from it dust.
I was so excited when I got the rug, it's the perfect style and size for my room. It's definitely more of a blue than gray, thankfully that's what I wanted. I'm going to be doing alot of homework sitting in the floor and I'm pleased with how soft the rug is. It has shed a little bit, but I vacuumed it and it hasn't shed anymore. Even though it's pretty soft already i'm going to put a rug pad underneath it so it doesn't slide around. Great price, good quality, great style, I am very happy with it.
The look is fantastic, but the pile is not as thick and high as I would like. it is good for a guest bed room, but I would not put it in a living room unless you had a thick rug pad under it.
This rug is just gorgeous. It matches perfectly our colors in our master bedroom. We first got one rug and then once we saw it we ordered another one too. It is very thick and veryyyyyy soft, you just want to walk barefoot all the time. Our dog - German shepherd loves it too (he thinks it is a new big bed just for him:)
Very cheap looking. Color is not grey as shown rather is green/blue.
The rug is very soft and thick. For the price this is an unbeatable deal! I highly recommend this rug to anyone.
This is the 2nd New Zealand wool rug we have purchased through Overstock.com, and we are very pleased (again). Rich, thick pile is beautiful. I love the design. The color is a bit on the gray-green side as opposed to a more gray-blue tone. Looks great on the dark hardwood floor. Very luxurious. Excellent value. High quality.

When we think about Thanksgiving, we think about Plymouth, Pilgrims, and of course turkey. What would Thanksgiving be without a turkey? For the longest time when it comes to food, we've gone by the notion that bigger is better. The bigger the turkey, the better it will taste. Unfortunately this process of thinking led to the inhumane treatment of animals and use of growth hormones, in order to turn a quick profit and satisfy customers.

Did you also see the slide show on that page "14 facts Obama administration doesn't want you to know"? It didn't have a notation of being a campaign ad ... it was a "slide show" ... it took note of how the big banks have grown even bigger; that nobody among those responsible for the financial crisis have been prosecuted & the statute of limitations might run out on doing so; that income to Americans has decreased more since the recession (theoretically) ended than during the recession; that jobs gained during Obama's term were mostly low-paying jobs compared to the jobs lost during the recession. Can't remember all of them off the top of my head, but was surprised at Huff Post doing that.

Ten things about the gowns of Queen Elizabeth I
1 // The Tudor Mode of Dress
This portrait (above) represents the Tudor style of dress, as this portrait is from before Elizabeth was Queen. There's a huge difference in the style of dress—the neckline is much lower and the silhouette much simpler, with much less jewelry and embellishment.
2 // A Queen Comes into her Own
The coronation portrait (above left) is a perfect example of the Elizabethan style—the Farthingale skirt, shoulder rolls, the high neckline, the ostentatious, over-the-top embellishment. The entire point of this garb was to make this young girl look imposing and invincible, because there were many people who did not want Elizabeth to be queen.
3 // Dressing to Impress
Royalty in the 16th century was expected to dress to impress upon everyone their wealth and power, and Elizabeth took this to heart. Henry VII, Elizabeth's grandfather, had not been well liked because of his preference for simple dress, for it gave people the impression that he was miserly. Queen Elizabeth was perfectly aware of this and knew exactly how to use the power of perception to her advantage.
4 // Childhood Memories
Some people believe, however, that Elizabeth's preference for incredibly rich garb stems from her impoverished upbringing (her mother, if you remember, was Anne Boleyn, and after her mother fell out of favour and was executed, the young princess did not receive as much money for her household, and often wore old or ill fitting clothing). The reality is that Elizabeth was incredibly thrifty. She kept impeccable records of her clothing expenses, and often had gowns taken apart and reassembled into new outfits.
5 // Budget Babe
Compared to her successor, James I, Elizabeth spent £9535 on clothing in four years, while James spent £36,377 in only one.
6 // A Gift Fit for a Queen
One of the ways Elizabeth saved money was by receiving gifts—England was one of the most powerful nations in the Western world during Elizabeth's reign. Its Navy was recognized as the best, and money was pouring in from the colonies in newly discovered Americas. She often received gifts of clothing on New Year's Day from those who wished to receive favour.
7 // Tomboy
At the height of her power, Elizabeth favoured high necklines, and even almost masculine dress. It was common for young, unmarried women to favour a lower neckline, and Elizabeth did not usually do this. She also favoured darker colours, and the style of bodice she made popular elongates the torso and creates an androgynous look. I don't think was a coincidence—Elizabeth was a woman in a man's world, and it was probably in her best interest to diminish her femininity and project her power, hence the androgynous silhouette and gem studded gowns.
8 // Body Modification
Corsets were more prevalent in 16th century England than in some other countries, for example, Italy. Venice even had a ban on the garment in 1547, though by the 1590s (considered Elizabeth's "Golden Years," I wonder if that's a coincidence?) they were much more prevalent there.
9 // Baby, It's Cold Outside
Elizabeth's dress wasn't just influenced by how she wanted to be perceived—it was also very cold in England at this time, as Northern Europe was going through a mini Ice Age. So all the heavy fabric and layers and padding was also a necessity that influenced everyone's clothing decisions.
10 // Cover Me in Jewels
Jewelry was considered a must for the nobility of the Elizabethan Age, though Elizabeth took it to a whole new level by having her gowns themselves covered in jewels and pearls. Jewelry was a physical manifestation of one's wealth and power, so if your wife had no jewelry, you would not be considered a person of prominence.

brazil/guyana/suriname/fguiana / anarchist movement / policy statement Saturday February 11, 2012 15:30 by Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro
Previously we dealt with that which we understand as the organisation of capitalism and the state, seeking to map out where we are; and the organisation of libertarian socialism, trying to specify where we want to reach. To complete the discussion on organisation it will be necessary to expand a bit on social movements and the popular organisation, as well as on the specific anarchist organisation; two different levels of action that will seek to answer [the question], how do we think we can leave where we are and arrive where we want to be, completing indispensable elements for our permanent strategy. As Malatesta nicely summarised, [...] organisation in general as the principle and condition of social life, today, and in the future society; organisation of the anarchist party and organisation of popular forces.

What are Blood Clots?
Blood clots consist of blood cells and fibrin strands that form to stop the flow of blood after an injury. Blood clots are vital for wound healing.If blood was not able to clot, death would occur from excessive bleeding from a simple cut. Although blood clots are more common in adults, it is important to know that they can occur in children as well.
However, in certain conditions, the inappropriate formation of blood clots in vessels or organs of the body can occur, leading to a potentially extremely dangerous situation. When blood clots form within arteries and veins, they obstruct the flow of blood, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Blood clots formed after surgery or due to a traumatic injury may also be life-threatening.
There are several common areas where blood clots tend to form, including:
- Peripheral venous disorder - problems with the veins can cause blood clots to form
- Thrombopheblitis - an obstructing blood clot has formed, causing the surrounding vein to become inflamed
- Coronary thrombosis - a blood clot in coronary arteries leading to a heart attack
- Deep vein thrombosis – blood clot formed in a deeper vein
- Pulmonary embolism - a blood clot in the lungs
- Retinal vein occlusion - blood clot in a vein of the eye
- Perianal Hematoma - a blood clot in the near or within the anus

Save money, waste, and health
Using cloth wipes saves you money while avoiding waste and nasty chemicals. Caring for the wipes couldn't be easier, since you toss them in the wash with your diapers.
Why are these wipes so perfect?
At Tiny Tush, we continuously strive to improve our entire line of products, and our wipes are no exception. To make these wipes more versatile, we have increased their size. Tiny Tush wipes are now a generous 12 inches x 12 inches.
Single ply, double sided
Because they are single ply (one layer), perfect cloth baby wipes are trim enough to get into all the tiny places on your baby's sensitive tush.
Because they are double sided, they can clean the yuckiest of jobs. The soft, loopy terry side grabs and holds the yuckiest messes, while the fleecy super-soft side finishes the job while you wipe baby clean and dry.
Super Easy Care
There are no special laundering requirements for these wipes. Toss in the pail and wash with your cloth diapers.
Tiny Tush Perfect Wipes are ideal for as everyday cloth diaper wipes, plus they do so much more:
- If you need a trimmer pocket diaper insert for a newborn, fold a wipe into thirds and watch the bulk between the legs go away.
- If you need extra absorbency for naps and night time, fold the wipe in half to make a doubler.
- If you need a barrier to keep rash ointment off your diapers, fold a wipe into a V shape and place with the fleecy side up on top of the diaper.
This awesome fabric has been made and sewn in the USA exclusively for Tiny Tush.
ORIGIN: Made in USA from USA milled fabric
MATERIALS: 80% cotton and 20% polyester

text: Curt Arens Archives Email Author Making Milk the Beverage of Choice Husker Home Place Dairy producers are winning over kids and their parents, one milk mustache at a time. Published on: March 13, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Today I had the great honor to join Nebraska's dairy producers for their annual convention in Norfolk. I'll admit that we haven't had a Holstein on our farm since the early 1980s, but our family goes through gallons of milk and dairy products every week. We may not milk cows, but we surely support Nebraska's dairy farmers. When I was a kid, we milked around 40 cows. I would often plop down at the top of a big haystack in the early winter evenings with our old farm dog by my side, waiting for Dad to finishing milking. I could hear him talking to the cows as he went about the evening chores. After we sold our dairy herd in the mid-1970s, we kept one milk cow around so we would have fresh milk, cream, butter, cottage cheese, whipped cream and ice cream whenever we wanted. HOLSTEIN HELLO: This dairy cow welcomed farmers attending the Nebraska State Dairy Convention in Norfolk. As a high school student, I began my day by milking that old cow before school, and repeated the job in the evenings after I came home. It was a calming job in those days, squirting milk in the mouths of the barn cats that were impatiently watching me. As soon as I left for college, the milk cow left for market, and our dairying days were done. Today, dairy farming is much different. Technology, efficiency, facilities and genetics have made it into a modern industry, but the basics are still true. Herd health, pristine premises and facilities and TLC for the cows make all the difference. THE GOOD STUFF: These dairy products and others like them are gaining recognition by schools, students and their families through the Fuel Up to Play 60 program. We've lost our share of dairies in the state in recent years, but there are still 230 dairy farms in Nebraska, and 99% of them are still family owned and operated. A typical Nebraska cow will produce 6.4 gallons of milk daily, or 2325 gallons over the course of a year, according to calculations from the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Nebraska dairies produce 135 million gallons of milk annually, generating $173 million for the economy, making dairying the fifth largest ag business in the state. Most recently, the National Dairy Council has partnered with the NFL, USDA and other government, business and media outlets in the Fuel Up to Play 60 campaign, aimed at getting our nation's youth to eat well and play hard. This campaign encourages youth, including students at 1073 Nebraska schools enrolled in the program, to eat dairy products and other healthy foods, so they have the energy to live more healthy and active lifestyles. Changing the eating and activity habits of children can help them change the habits of their parents. Yes, the days when every farm had milk cows are long gone. But the folks in the business today are survivors, dealing with high feed and input costs and unprecedented milk price volatility. They have a healthful product that they are actively promoting to new consumers, winning over young and old. So, today I tip my hat to the dairy producers and their families. I'm getting thirsty, so time for good glass of cold milk.

Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Address Labels Instead of using this as an address label, we wrote a thank you sentiment with our names and the wedding date and stuck them on the treat bags we put on the tables for each guest. They turned our very cute! Quality was great, no faded or missed letters in the printing like you hear from other websites.

I had my first visit here and enjoyed a production of Dido Queen of Carthage by an enthusiastic young company. Sadly it was poorly attended and deserves better. However, they have just had a sell-out run of a 90-minute Hamlet which was highly spoken of.
The performance takes place on a wooden platform above the foundations of the original Rose, which are just below ground level of a modern building. The candle-lit waterlogged foundations form the backdrop and were used to good effect during the performance. The platform is the viewing area on visit days.
There are two rows of seats numbering about 50 or 60, on 3 sides of the performance area. It was freezing cold but they provide blankets. I didn't use mine but did need my coat and scarf on. The performers were in thin costumes and either barefoot or in ballet flats and must have been perishing but they were energetic so maybe that kept them warm.
It was atmospheric and in terms of Shakespeare heritage I enjoyed this experience much more than most of my Globe visits. I prefer the idea of preserving the site of the theatre and having performances there, than trying to reproduce/reconstruct the building and original practices etc. I'm eager to go back soon.
The BO staff were friendly, there's a tiny foyer with some heritage displays etc (not sure how they cram people in pre-doors when it's full as in the Hamlet) but no toilet so be warned you have to head 200m up the road to the nearest pub who apparently expect to get some Rose patrons doing this and are fine with it.

Yes, I don't like to venture below the belt in posts but by the time I arrived at the Rose I was in very urgent need of the gents. So when pretty much the first thing the charming BO man said was "We don't have any toilets..." I almost started crying. And the pub in question isn't very obvious from the street, you have to veer off into a courtyard to find it.
Anyway, ahem - all was fine.

There's the Globe for loos as well. I don't know what the relationship between the two is but I doubt the Globe would lose out by offering them some free publicity - perhaps they could suggest to their returns queues that there's a another Shakespeare theatre 2 minutes walk away.

Doesn't the bar open in the evening? The website is silent on the subject and I'm never in that area unless seeing a play but I'd have thought it would still be fairly busy. I'm always surprised at how few of the patrons seem to be there to see a play (or even to be aware that there's a theatre attached)

Professor Keith Sagar gives Blake seminar
Professor Keith Sagar, a legendary figure from the world of literary criticism, gave a seminar to A2 literature students on William Blake recently.
His provocative and thought-provoking readings of Songs of Innocence and Experience gave students an idea of how literary criticism can be an act of creativity as well as analysis.
What, for example, is the symbolism of a rose? After listening to students' first thoughts, Professor Sagar steered the discussion into an exploration of an impressive range of possible meanings, all of which he rooted in examples from the history of literature. Rejecting modish nomenclature - "intertextuality" - Professor Sagar explained how writers had always read and been influenced by other writers ("of course writers actually read as well as wrote").
His no-nonsense approach did not, however, exclude complex theoretical frameworks. Having first convinced students of the way that particular symbols – the rose, tiger and worm, for example – may be found everywhere and at all periods of history, Professor Sagar expatiated on Jung's theory of archetypes: how such symbols articulate human psychology and, in turn, shape human society.
It is around such archetypal images, he argued, that Blake's poetry revolves. But whilst Blake is a poet whose images have universal and timeless resonance, he is also a man of his time. Professor Sagar's Blake is a visionary poet engaged in a mental fight against eighteenth-century dualistic thinking, raging against his age's obsession with measurement and calculation (which Blake felt to be personified in the figure of Newton).
As Professor Sagar gave his exposition of Blake's "fourfold vision," students quickly saw that Blake offered "a complete vision of reality in which there is a place for tigers and lambs," a universe charged with imaginative energy, limitless potentiality and deep spirituality, and in which "innocence" can be "recovered at the far side of experience" – the opposite, in other words, of a mechanistic universe.
Again the issue of the value of poetry arose. Professor Sagar's answer was typically Blakean: "poetry has the task of having to re-spiritualise the world".
Students clearly enjoyed the seminar, and bought a number of his books. Professor Sagar was also the guest of the members of the Senior Essay Society, to whom he spoke in March of his literary friendship with Ted Hughes, whose letters to him (well over a hundred) are soon to be published by the British Library.
Dr Paul Ellis, Head of English.

This is a very nice free game from AppStore. It could be played for the 1st time after installation, but then afterwards it just keeps on quitting out when you open it. I've tried to re-installed it. Again, it's perfectly ok for the 1st time but not afterwards.
Anyone has got any solution for this? Many thanks.

The Lander Proposed Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (Lander RMP) was released on February 22 2013. This initiated a 30-day public protest period and a 60-day Governor's consistency review for the plan. The BLM held a public comment period for the draft Lander RMP in 2011 and changes have been incorporated into the final to address Greater Sage-Grouse conservation needs. The BLM has reviewed the Greater Sage-Grouse portions of the Final Lander RMP and concluded that the recommendations of the National Technical Team report were included within the range of alternatives that it analyzed.

Data from students enrolled in iRead™, READ 180® and System 44® programs show outstanding first semester gains in reading achievement
Douglas, Ga. (March 14, 2014) – Through a Comprehensive Literacy Grant, the school district has committed to ambitious literacy plans in 11 of its schools with the goal of increasing student readiness for college and career and increasing graduation rates.
In reviewing early data from the first few months of the literacy initiative funded through a $3.7 million grant, Coffee County students enrolled in reading programs are making significant gains – some already demonstrating more than a year's growth in reading level.
The district added a digital reading program from Scholastic, called iRead™, for grades K-2 that ensures acquisition and mastery of foundational reading skills by the beginning of third grade. All K-2 students use iRead as part of the district's overall approach to language arts and reading instruction to focus on closing the reading gap before it begins.
READ 180 and System 44 were implemented as part of the district's commitment to accelerating reading achievement for all students and those who may need additional support.
Data used to track student progress in the two blended learning intervention programs developed by Scholastic show that in less than a half-year:
• One-third of students enrolled in READ 180 have demonstrated a full year or more of reading growth.
• One out of 10 has already demonstrated an incredible two years' gain in reading level.
• Almost three-quarters of students enrolled in System 44 have demonstrated one year or more of growth in reading fluency.
READ 180, uses a blend of adaptive technology and rigorous teacher-led small group instruction to accelerate students toward grade level. More than 400 students across the district are enrolled in READ 180 classes, more than one million nationwide.
For older students the schools offer System 44, which uses a similar technology- and teacher-directed model designed to deliver targeted help to each individual student and an accelerated trajectory to grade-level readiness. More than 160 students across the district are enrolled in System 44, and more than 125,000 nationwide.
"We are very pleased with the progress our students are making," said Coffee County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Morris Leis. "Our teachers and staff have done a great job with the new reading programs at all of our schools. Reading is essential to our mission of 'Destination Graduation for College, Career and Life.'"
Superintendent Morris Leis is pleased to announce that the Coffee County Board of Education was named a 2013 Quality School Board by the Georgia School Board Association (GSBA).

I would like to find out if it is possible to generate a query/report to see either:
- Number of machines that checked in on a certain date (or date range)
- Get history of each machine for dates when it checked in
For example, I want to be able to see that, on January 25 2012, 390 machines checked in. So far, the only value I can find it "last checked in." But if the same machine checked in on January 20, January 25, and January 30, it won't show up as checking on January 20, it will only show up with the most recent date.
We need to see (on average) how many machines check in per day (or week).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
There isn't a standard way to do this as LANDesk doesn't store that information. You can get close though with a bit of manual work.
In Configure - Inventory History, you can set Last Hardware Scan Date to be logged in the inventory database. This will mean that each time a machine scans, an entry will be entered into the History table of the database against that machine.
Unfortunately there isn't a reporting mechanism for that table, so you would need to build a query or report that accesses the history table directly to use that data.

Not an answer to your question, but kinda related: Understanding the Last Scan Information in Inventory
You might find that document useful as it explains the different Last xxx Date timestamps in the computer inventory.
In addition to what Mark and Richard have stated, you can use any of the "Last" inventory fields with the getdate() SQL function. Here is an article http://www.droppedpackets.org/systemmanagement/ldms/reports/report-machines-that-arent-scanning-anymore/ It even uses the Last Updated by Inventory in the example.
I'm always a little wary of the Last Updated by Inventory value. I have a suspicion it can be updated by something other than a scan being submitted by the client.
It there because it can be updated by the miniscan for IP change and even by the miniscan used with PXE booting.
If you are trying to work out the load on the server, then really you need to look at how many times each day updates are happening. That would mean running your reports on each of the update values so that you can see it overall as well as broken down.
Using my inventory history option you can run a report against a list of the changes whenever you want but it will slightly increase the inventory loadings. If you use the query mentioned by Zman then if you ran that regularly you would be able to see which ones reported in that day but you wouldn't count anything that did multiple scans in one day. Depends on the granularity you want/need.

I think the core's scheduler service can update it to. We had an issue with ancient machines not getting housekept because their Last updated value was being stamped. I never managed to do extensive testing, but I concluded that, if you have DNS discovery enabled on the core scheduler, and target a custom script at a machine that doesn't exist, but still has a DNS entry, the core will update the IP with the DNS record and timestamp the Last updated record.
Overall, I can see how that might actually be desirable behaviour, but it means that stale DNS entries can wreak havok with LANDesk's housekeeping (and general ability to be a useful live inventory tool).
I believe Days to Keep Inventory scans goes off of Last Hardware Scan Date. Sounds like you had DNS issues with two devices having same IP address.
Indeed. The root of the problem was DNS not scavenging correctly and the records of decommissioned machines conflicting with up-to-date ones. I'm fairly sure this was the root cause of LANDesk itself not scavenging, as when we fixed DNS, LANDesk started to housekeep. It could be co-incidence. It could be related but less directly linked than I have interpreted. Either way, my personal anecdotal evidence is that Last Updated by Inventory Server is not a particularly reliable indication of if/when machines are "checking in"

Va. Zoo bars volunteer access to exotic animals
Eds: APNewsNow.
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Volunteers at the Virginia Zoo can no longer work with exotic animals.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that the zoo in Norfolk recently dropped its Keeper Aide program. The program allowed volunteers to help prepare meals and feed tigers, bears and other exotic animals. They also helped clean habitats and move large animals between exhibits and holding cells.
The zoo established a new program called the Behavior Enrichment and Animal Resource Squad. Volunteers will work with smaller education animals.
The zoo is a public-private partnership between the nonprofit Virginia Zoological Society and the city.
Zoo spokesman Winfield Danielson says the change is due to safety and liability concerns.
Last week, a lion mauled to death a 24-year-old intern at an exotic animal park in California.

"Pick one," he said, pointing to a stack of barrels in the corner. The white oak barrels to which Mike Williams referred contained Tennessee Whiskey, but we weren't in Lynchburg or Tullahoma. This was the old Yazoo Brewery building, home of the Tennessee Distilling Company, makers of Collier and McKeel Tennessee Whiskey in Nashville.
I pointed to a heavily stained barrel, and Williams set two tasting glasses on the pallet next to it, then with a small, battery-powered drill began boring into the side of the keg.
"Some day I'm gonna buy a real drill," he said with a chuckle as his drill strained. Eventually he penetrated the oak, unleashing a steady brown stream. Williams filled both glasses, then staunched the flow with a wooden plug.
The whiskey smelled oaky and sweet, and produced a pleasing peppery burn on my tongue. "This is 120-proof," Williams said. "Barrel strength." He bottles his whiskey at 86-proof, but a sip of this stronger concoction led me to asking why he didn't bottle it just like this. "I'm thinking about it," he replied.
We poured the remnants of the cask-strength whiskey on the floor near the drain, and re-filled our glasses from a bottle. The smooth character and vanilla were still there in the 86-proof, but the complexity was slower to emerge. Down the hatch, a pleasant bitterness lingered.
As we sipped our whiskey on that drizzly Wednesday morning, I was drawn to the two giant copper stills dominating the room, but Williams was more interested in an unassuming, vertical stainless steel cylinder nearby.
Clear moonshine whiskey, straight out of the still, is pumped through sugar maple charcoal in that cylinder. The charcoal grabs fatty acids, pulling them out of the whiskey and mellowing it, a process unique to Tennessee Whiskey known as the "Lincoln County Process".
Williams' whiskey story begins at the end of the eighteenth century when his family moved to Tennessee just after the Whiskey Rebellion proved the government's ability to militarily defend its whiskey taxation. The "West", as the Tennessee frontier was known at the time, was far enough removed from New England that the Feds had a hard time collecting their taxes, making it a perfect place for folks wanting to make whiskey without interference.
The family never became big production distillers, but whiskey was clearly in Williams' blood. When he was 16 and putting off a science project that entailed creating a water map of Middle Tennessee, Williams' father made an announcement. The family was to visit Jack Daniel's Distillery, and along the way they would stop at every trickle of water for young Mike to collect samples.
When he tested the sample from the cave spring in Lynchburg, Williams found it to be identical in pH and composition to the water on the family property, and an idea was formed. Some years later, when Williams turned 50, he decided the time was right. He stole the name Tennessee Distilling Company from a company that moved to Indiana after Prohibition, and borrowed the name of his whiskey from the maiden names of his paternal grandmother and great-grandmother.
When the first Collier and McKeel Tennessee Whiskey left the distillery in the spring of 2011, the whole family had a hand in bottling, corking, sealing and labeling. At the end of the line, Williams put his thumbprint on every bottle.
When I arrived at Jack Daniel's the next morning, a small crowd was already waiting. Promptly at 9 a.m., the doors were unlocked and we streamed inside, where Randall Fanning was looking for me. He led me out back to a fancy golf cart for a ride to the Revenuer's Office—a small building where the Master Distiller hosts tastings. According to Fanning, that office once housed five government tax collectors—"three to watch us and two to watch the other three."

I am an AmeriCorps VISTA member serving in Montana with the Global Health Equity Foundation on their social media based project titled "Let's Talk." This project allows me to work toward enabling Healthy Futures in a different way. In fact, I'm the only member working on a mental health project in the state.
Let's Talk promotes conversations and awareness around the issue of suicide in Montana. This unfortunate problem is being addressed by a group of courageous teenagers who are standing up to tell their stories in an attempt to provide support so that other teens know it's okay to talk and that no one is alone.
Before I became an AmeriCorps VISTA member, I worked with AmeriCorps NCCC FEMA Corps where I saw first-hand how natural disasters and poverty affect mental health. My team and I were stationed in Queens, New York, to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Many of those people were devastated by the loss of their belongings, their livelihoods, their homes, and even friends and family...

I shall never forget a little girl named Sabrina. Her hair was fly-away dish-water blonde and framed her narrow face, thin lips, pointy chin and blue eyes. Thin and gangly, she made a perfect target for numerous taunts and teasing from other children. She was also very disruptive in class. She was defiant of the teacher, aggressive to other children and rude. It seemed she didn't want to learn. She needed help!

User review by mar_bear86 – one of my favorite restaurants...great food, good for families or large groups...i personally recomend the bread pudding for dessert...it has been on the menu for years, and is extremely popular. my favorite dish is the gnocchi, but i have never had a meal there that i did not lie
Outstanding pizza – We went there on the advice of the first reviewer. I would suggest reservations on a weekend. We were seated w/o them at 5:45, but it was packed right after that, and reservations were needed then. We ordered the pizza. The crust was fantastic. The ovens they use are appropriately VERY hot and create a perfectly cooked pie. The pepperoni was italian. The pizza was topped with a great mix of seasonings. We'll be back. We sat near the kitchen and smelled the regular italian dishes coming out to the dining area, and all smelled fantastic. The crowd was older, and was a sign to me that this is one of those places you know about after you've lived in Pleasanton awhile. Small, personal staff that gets overwhelmed by the dinner rush, but very nice.
Great Italian Food – One of the best kept secrets in Pleasnton. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place. Well varied menu, and daily specials that can be quite unique.

upscale but unpretentious – I can't believe that no one has reviewed this restaurant for so long. We eat here a few times each year before going to the show. Bar layout is a bit awkward but everyone is pleasant and shifts spaces so you can get through. Seems to be alot of regulars but bartender treats everyone like a close friend. Lots of friendly conversation and advise for visitors to the city. Seems like there is always someone there who was referred by a city hotel. Always order fish except when pork dishes are on the menu. Pork isn't a regular item but you can tell the chef likes it because of the care in preparation. The crusted grouper with lobster pierogies is wonderful. Ditto the lobster risotto. Seems like the servers have been there for a while - we recognize quite a few of them. Always good, professional service. Very knowledgeable about the menu and willing to ask if they can't answer a question.
Perfection – Excellent Dining experience. Wine list was lovely. Service impeccable. Ambiance and meal were divine. Party of six was accomidated immediately.
Great for lunch. – I have been here several times for lunch. Always pleased. Favorites include a sauted salmon dish and the ahi tuna wrap. The menu is adventurous without being daunting. I have never been here for dinner but wish to try it soon. I have also never had the tollhouse cookie dessert which I hear is also very good.
Great restaurant especially before a show – This is my favorite restaurant downtown. It has fabulous foods - steak (prime-rib especially), seafood and even chicken and salads. Thye have an extensive wine list that is not over priced for the value. The ambience is elegant. The service is outstanding.The nestle toll house pie is a must for dessert especially for chocolate lovers. It is wonderful to eat dinner at the Carlton before a show and get the free limo service to and from a show.
A first-rate feast for city-dwellers. – The Scene
The restaurant is fairly large, with a long dining room; the setting is elegant and clubby, with dark wood and brass all around and large sprays of fresh flowers. The restaurant is always busy at lunch, with local businessmen and attorneys, all of whom seem relaxed, as if it's their private club. But strangers are made to feel welcome, too.
The Food
The lunch menu is not fixed, changing at least once during the week. There's an excellent hamburger, plus pasta, seafood dishes and large, creative salads. Dinner changes every night, depending on what's fresh at the market. The prime rib, served on weekends, is a perennial favorite, but there are many more up-to-date options. The lamb is excellent, as are the beef dishes. Seafood seems especially fresh and perfectly cooked. Among the best is fish steamed with wine and ginger.
Use your entertainment card – Let me start by saying the food was good, that was a big plus. The prices are very high, so if you go, take your entertainment card. They try to be a romantic restaurant, but the way you're crammed in there, it's not very romantic.
Nice Upscale Restaurant – We enjoyed this restaurant. The service was a little spotty at times - nothing terrible, but not the best. The food was outstanding, however. The stuffed artichoke appetizer was wonderful and unique. The crusted sea bass was amazing. We had a cookie / ice cream dessert which was good (how much can you do with that?). Our coffee was generic in flavor. The wine list was extensive and well priced - though by the time they told me they were out of the bottle I'd ordered, it was too late to get another for us. The atmosphere was pleasant. I don't care for the location inside a bland office building - but once inside, I guess it doesn't matter. Overall I'd recommend it.
The Best in Pittsburgh – I have been to many fine restaurants in Pittsburgh and The Carlton rates as the finest. They have one of the largest wine lists in Pittsburgh and their food is fantastic. I have been satisfied with every meal I have ordered. The service is also fantastic and the wait staff is very knowledgeable in matching the correct wine for your meal selection. I was also informed by our waiter, if you would like something not on the menu if you request a day or so in advance they will make it for you.
A wonderful throwback – to times when going to a restaurant was an event. Great food, service that is very good, and a feeling that this is how restaurants used to be.
The Carlton Salad, the Veal Chop, and most fish dishes are very good. Sometimes the Carlton gets ahead of itself by trying a little too hard but don't fault it for that. Best of all, a wine list that is extensive and wonderfully priced (what a terrific concept). Skip Mt Washington and over priced steakhouses...the Carlton has what you want and need.
Less than romantic – Hoping for a romatic dining experience, my partner and I were disappointed to be seated at a very small table within arms reach of two other couples on each side. Most McDonalds have more intimate seating available for a couple. I was also disappointed with the entrees which I found to average. However, the service was very good and the deserts excellent. We do not plan on returning unless as group of 4 or more which would allow us to have a table of our own.
