Breast cancer is cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of breast cancer:
In rare cases, breast cancer can start in other areas of the breast.
Cancer - breast; Carcinoma - ductal; Carcinoma - lobular; DCIS; LCIS; HER2-positive breast cancer; ER-positive breast cancer; Ductal carcinoma in situ; Lobular carcinoma in situ
Over the course of a lifetime, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Risk factors you cannot change include:
Other risk factors include:
Breast implants, using antiperspirants, and wearing underwire bras do not increase the risk of breast cancer. There is also no evidence of a direct link between breast cancer and pesticides.
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
In men, breast cancer symptoms include breast lump and breast pain and tenderness.
Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and risk factors. Then the doctor will perform a physical exam. The exam includes both breasts, armpits, and the neck and chest area.
Tests used to diagnose and monitor patients with breast cancer may include:
If your doctor learns that you do have breast cancer, more tests will be done. This is called staging, which checks if the cancer has spread. Staging helps guide treatment and follow-up. It also gives you an idea of what to expect in the future.
Breast cancer stages range from 0 to IV. The higher the stage, the more advanced the cancer.
Treatment is based on many factors, including:
Cancer treatments may include:
Cancer treatment can be local or systemic:
Most women receive a combination of treatments. For women with stage I, II, or III breast cancer, the main goal is to treat the cancer and prevent it from returning (curing). For women with stage IV cancer, the goal is to improve symptoms and help them live longer. In most cases, stage IV breast cancer cannot be cured.
After treatment, some women continue to take medicines for a time. All women continue to have blood tests, mammograms, and other tests after treatment.
Women who have had a mastectomy may have reconstructive breast surgery. This will be done either at the time of mastectomy or later.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
New, improved treatments are helping persons with breast cancer live longer. Even with treatment, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Sometimes, cancer returns even after the entire tumor has been removed and nearby lymph nodes are found to be cancer-free.
Some women who have had breast cancer develop a new breast cancer that is not related to the original tumor.
How well you do after being treated for breast cancer depends on many things. The more advanced your cancer, the poorer the outcome. Other factors that determine the risk of recurrence and the likelihood of successful treatment include:
After considering all of the above, your doctor can discuss your risk of having a recurrence of breast cancer.
You may experience side effects or complications from cancer treatment. These may include temporary pain or swelling of the breast and surrounding area. Ask your doctor about the possible side effects from treatment.
Contact your health care provider if:
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms after being treated for breast cancer:
Talk to your health care provider about how often you should have mammogram . Early breast cancers found by a mammogram have a good chance of being cured.
Tamoxifen is approved for breast cancer prevention in women aged 35 and older who are at high risk. Discuss this with your doctor.
Women at very high risk of breast cancer may consider preventive (prophylactic) mastectomy. This is surgery to remove the breasts before breast cancer is diagnosed. Possible candidates include:
Many risk factors, such as your genes and family history, cannot be controlled. But making healthy lifestyle changes may reduce your overall chance of getting cancer. This includes:

quote:No surprise there, lateral move at best for Franklin
quote:Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley were your last two hires so you probably shouldn't comment on coaching searches.
quote:lol no one wants to coach are Arkansas
quote:Not an appealing job at all. Too much direct competition. No coach in their history has proven you can succesfully recruit to Arkansas. Rediculous expecations for a traditionally mediocre program.

quote:Peter Quinn was predictably outed as someone with a secret and untrustworthy. Estes pigeonholed him into this project as a contingency, and Estes "wants to kill terrorists" by any means necessary. He's essentially playing his Walden card with these hardline decisions.
quote:I'm convinced Chris is a inside joke among the writers and producers to troll us
quote:There is a mole. The razor blade, Roya's contact inside, etc. However, I don't think the producers really want to make the mole part of the storyline (at least not yet).
quote:a known terrorist contact
quote:Later in the episode, he is seen getting on a bus to meet with Dar Adul (F. Murray Abraham), a well-known CIA intelligence operative
quote:Why would Peter X surreptitiously go meet a known terrorist contact?
quote:its been so long since theyve pushed the mole angle that it really is seeming to just be a matter of an extra layer of suspense, not actually a primary storyline.
quote: First thanks everyone for the recommendation to watch
quote:second do they explain why/how Tom Walker was turned?
quote:He didn't meet with a known terrorist contact. He met with a guy named Dar Adul, who is apparently the head of the CIA Black Ops division. Peter X is one of his agents. Saul said that he had only met Dar Adul once and that, at that time, he was running company operations into Somalia that those within the CIA didn't even like to talk about.
quote:This still opens up a whole new can of beans
quote:Estes is working as a quasi double agent to further some unknown plan.
quote:I think Estes is working an angle to manipulate the situations and use Brody for the CIA's gain. That is how Roya knew the combination on Estes safe, what was in it, Estes took the meeting with Brody in the room, Estes stayed out long enough for Brody to retrieve the data, Roya knew what they found in lebanon and knew that the tailor in gettysburg was in jeopardy, etc
quote:Quinn was going to whack Brody after they confirmed Nasir was dead because Brody was no longer useful and he is a traitor

The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -- A concrete retaining wall's failure sent floodwater through a mobile home park after monsoon rain drenched parts of the Flagstaff area.
The Arizona Daily Sun reports that the wall's failure late Sunday night sent water through yards and damaged some homes.
Firefighters carried a wheelchair-bound man through floodwaters to safety because it was thought his mobile Summit Fire home's foundation wasn't stable.
The National Weather Service recorded 1.38 inches in 15 minutes and 2.44 inches in an hour.
Summit Fire Department Chief Don Howard said it was the most intense flooding in the area seen since a 2010 wildfire scarred the Schultz Pass area.
Several roads remain closed because of flood damage, and the Forest Service had to bring in heavy equipment so strander campers could get out.

You should be avoid using up the battery power before charging the battery, because this will give the battery a lot of pressure and resulting in damage. A more feasible approach is to charge the battery when the battery remain about 20-30% of power. In fact, the notebook lithium battery in the number of "use up / charge" times is limited, all used up and then charge will greatly shorten the battery life. At the same time, the battery should be charged in a dry place, and you should also pay attention to the heart problem.
Hot to store the COMPAQ Presario x1360cl laptop battery, use up the battery power or full charged the battery ? Store the battery with full discharged will make the batteries lose activity, even lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and no longer available. Store the battery with full charged will bring the safety risks, the best preservation method is store it in a cool and dry place with about 40% power, about 20 temperature is the best store temperature, of course you had better use the battery once a month, this can guarantee the battery a good state of preservation, and will not let the battery power completely loss and damage to the battery.

Right after a bath of art and culture taken in the streets of Mindelo, dive in the turquoise sea, in the beaches of São Vicente. The swing of the waves is one of ways to rock the cape verdean tourists there are brought here by the sound of music and dance.
Heat is always present in a region of humid, tropical climate, with an annual average temperature of 27 ºC. As for the water, warm as the music that echoes along the cape verdean archipelago, the temperature it fluctuates between 12 ºC and 25 ºC, turning the beach into an almost irresistible temptation. Aside from water sports, this is also idyllic scenery for scuba diving, swimming or simply enjoying the sun and the atmosphere or pure relaxation by the shore. Without leaving Mindelo, Laginha beach is the place where the cosmopolitan buzz and the serenity of the ocean meet. Not very far, Calhar beach, near a volcano that has been asleep for about a century, is one of the summer destinations that tourists and locals enjoy the most, as is Vila Miséria, with a beach nearby. With a stunning view regarding the foot of the volcano, Praia Grande beach grabs us for the its stunning bay where a natural pool is formed. And speaking about pool, the calmness of the tides in Baía das Gatas and Praia da Salamansa beach make them perfect for swimming without any worries. By the end of the day, for relaxing again with the ocean for company, go to Baía do Porto Grande, where you can find the largest port in São Vicente, a brand new marina and welcoming pub and restaurant.

quote:Kentucky's athletic sanctioning body has ordered high schools not to conduct postgame handshakes in all sports following more than two dozen physical confrontations the past three years. Tuesday's directive from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett posted on its web site didn't mention specific fights or conflicts but said several fall sports have had postgame incidents. The organization says it's "disappointing" to take such action but that it became necessary because of occurrences statewide and nationally. KHSAA has also instructed game officials to immediately leave facilities after contests or risk being penalized. Teams can choose to ignore the order. Schools that can conduct handshakes must supervise the activity and report any incidents to KHSAA. Member schools or coaches that engage in unsportsmanlike behavior will be fined and penalized. "It stops short of being a rule but it says that if you choose to do it, you'd better be able to manage it," Tackett said Tuesday evening. "There's no penalty for doing it, but If you don't do it right, you're going to held accountable." The commissioner said all sports have had problems over the years but cited a fight between volleyball players this fall as one example of what's happening. With the state football playoffs just around the corner and the possibility of players shaking hands after an emotionally-charged elimination game, the directive was implemented to make schools take responsibility for conduct or not performing a ritual of sportsmanship. "If you have 75 players shaking hands," Tackett said, "you'd better watch what's going on."

Nu DC?
-I've been critical of DC in the past, many times in fact. I always feel a little self-conscious about it, as though I need to include some criticism of Marvel to balance things out. I hate Big Two partisanship. It's one of the three or four worst phenomena of the comics-related internet (along with, off the top of my head, (1) taking aim at easy targets in a glib/facile way, (2) ignoring the importance of art in comics, and (3) passing off personal/professional vendettas as thoughtful commentary; faithful readers will note that I've probably been guilty of at least two of these offenses, maybe more).
But man, DC is really fucking up right now, isn't it? I mean, it's on multiple levels; it's both a business and creative problem. By now most of you have heard the news that the dude who was doing the Countdown blog has called it quits, and is actually no longer reading the series. Nobody seems to like Countdown. And yet, take a look at DC's solicitations: tons and tons of miniseries spinning off from Countdown. Presumably these were all commissioned and scheduled before the sales figures started rolling in, but still--DC is flooding the market with a bunch of series nobody wants. If the sales on the core title are slipping fast, what can we expect for the multitude of spinoffs? This is especially dire if one considers the potential effect on sales generated by the poor quality of World War III (though, to be fair, I've heard some people say they actually enjoyed WWIII--never underestimate the allure of continuity porn, I guess).
Shockingly, the sales figures paint an even bleaker picture. (Bleaker still if one considers how much Marvel and DC still dominate the charts, but let's stick to one depressing conundrum at a time for right now.) You know, it wasn't that long ago that DC was running neck and neck with Marvel, right? Around the time of Infinite Crisis and the early months of One Year Later, right? Now they appear to be hopelessly behind.
Put it all together: the critical reception to Countdown, the glut of Countdown tie-ins on the horizon, and the declining sales figures. There's no way to look at these figures and not question the effect on DC as a brand. DC is not giving fans (of any stripe, really) what they want. Their line-wide identity is tied into a loser of a maxi-series; many of their highest profile books are perpetually late, leading to clumsy/destructive schedule-juggling; their biggest intellectual properties are selling fewer books than Moon Knight. To his credit, Dan DiDio is not so incompetent as to maintain the disastrous status quo. But does anyone expect Waid on Flash and McDuffie on Justice League to turn things around? Shit, Justice League is DC's only consistent, monthly bestseller; if anything, Meltzer's imminent departure will see sales drop by a significant amount.
And that's the interesting part--Meltzer's JLA is quite possibly less popular than Countdown among the internet cognoscenti, but it's a spectacular hit by the standards of the contemporary Direct Market. Clearly, the comic-reading public is still enamored with DC's intellectual properties. I'm not sure what makes Justice League better than any other title featuring Batman, Wonder Woman, et al, but a lot of people obviously feel that way. There must be something about the current DCU that's turning people off in droves; thus, it's logical to examine JLA in order to figure out what it's doing differently. Some possibilites:
The creative team: Meltzer might be that much more popular than Geoff Johns, Mark Waid, and Grant Morrison. I'd be sort of surprised if this were true, but who knows. Maybe the infrequency of Meltzer's comic work has created demand, whereas one can buy comics by Johns, Waid, and Morrison every month (or practically every month, in the last case). I seriously doubt that Ed Benes can be credited for the massive sales. I'm not saying he doesn't have fans; I'm just saying that he doesn't have that many fans.
The characters: There's something very attractive about all-star teams, and the Justice League probably has the most mystique of all such super-teams. Why, then, did the previous volume not sell as well? I think readers had come to view the title as secondary. The rotating creative teams suggested an endless parade of inventory stories--which, as best I can tell, cuts pretty close to the truth. JLA didn't seem to matter, and today's superhero fans desperately want their comics to matter (not in a Denny O'Neill sense--more in a Marv Wolfman sense). So the relaunched Justice League was essentially filling pent-up demand for a high profile comic featuring the Justice League, much as Grant Morrison's JLA did a decade ago.
The stories: I think most fans are aware that comics are not Brad Meltzer's day job. Thus, there's an expectation that his comics won't be contorted to fit into the crossover du jour. (I'm not saying this actually reflected reality so much as fan perception. Maybe.) At the same time, the centrality of Identity Crisis to the current DCU may have led readers to expect Serious Shit to go down in Justice League. And yet this Serious Shit would not be incomprehensible without reading of seventeen related mini series and crossovers. (Again, we're talking perception here.)
In any event, DC really looks to be in some Serious Shit of its own. This is potentially more than a short term problem--DC is in danger of turning off readers longterm. Think Marvel c. 1993. Many (most?) of these readers will gravitate to Marvel for the time being, perhaps returning when their confidence in DC has been restored. A precious few will graduate to more challenging fare. The rest, sadly, will probably give up comics altogether. Regardless of what you think about Brad Meltzer, Dan DiDio, or corporate comics culture in general, the Direct Market needs those readers. One day the comics industry will outgrow the hobby shop market, but who knows how far away that day is? In the meantime, most comics shops depend upon the dude reading Justice League so they can take a chance on Sammy the Mouse. What's more, DC provides a crucial bridge between spandex and literary/art comics, via the Vertigo imprint. (In the future, it might provide a bridge between manga aimed at a juvenile audience and literary/art comics, via the Minx imprint.) If you're reading this, chances are that you need DC, at least for a little while longer, whether you like it or not.
This is why so many of us were floored at the Rich Johnston column suggesting DiDio is in no immediate danger of being canned. One would think that the latest sales figures might change this, but maybe DiDio is the Matt Millen of comics. DC really, really, badly, really needs a complete overhaul. They have to do something to reestablish confidence in the comics they publish, especially since Countdown--the center of their publishing plans for the foreseeable future--seems to be lurching toward unmitigated disaster territory. Replacing DiDio would be a good start, but DC really needs an infusion of new talent with fresh perspectives on its intellectual properties.
Anyone remember a few years ago when Mark Millar was blathering about having a plan to "save" DC? I remember laughing at him at the time--Infinite Crisis and OYL suggested that DC already had a plan. Sales and buzz were both on the incline; the future looked bright. Now I'm not sure that DiDio and the DC brain trust ever really had a plan. Infinite Crisis featured a lot of multiverse junk and it was a hit. So, rather than using it as a launching pad for a wave of compelling, novel approaches to its characters, DC editorial has instead given us all-multiverse, all the time--and it's mostly crap. 52 featured an atypical format and a wide cast of characters; again, DC's editors have copied these surface elements without replicating the true appeal of the original, and again the result is garbage. 2005 was a year of innovation for DC (at least by its standards); 2007 has been a year of imitation. It would be a hard pill for DC partisans to swallow, but it might be time to bring in Millar and see what he has to say. It couldn't be any worse than what's happening right now.

Considering it was Mark Millar who wanted to bring in "Hulk Babies" for Civil War, we need to keep him as far away as possible from the struggling DC at the moment.

I think the comments about Denny O'Neill relevance v. Marv Wolfman relevance are completely spot on. It seems like far too many DC fans are completely married to that exact type of storytelling that needs, compulsively, to know where everything fits, as though that makes a story good. The clawhands have won!

As for the sucess of Brad Meltzer, I think he has the same appeal as Bendis: he casts the illusion that comics are a "mature and adult thing" to a public that desesperately needs to believe that they aren't emotionally-stunted adults (seriously, they are a bigger part of the comic book reading population then you think). All the decapitations of Geoff Johns won't give the same illusion... The only thing Johns do is create the impression that the bad comics of the nineties were good. That is why his mancrush on Green Lantern makes him to choose in a quite selective manner what to incorporate in "cannon" of the "Hal Jordan mythos".
You see the Marvel formula nowadays is "The illusion of relevance" (I mean, I was having a discussion today with a person saying with a straight face that Civil War was a good story because of its deep philosophical tone. I mean, totally End of Civilization cenario) + "hot semi-nekkid woman". I mean if it's not Frank Cho, is Greg Land and his pornface.
Marvel, for the most part, produces something that you can say that is adult at the same time it appeases the inner horny teenager of the reader. Is kind like saying that you buy Playboy for the articles. - July 17, 2007 at 11:56 PM

I honestly can't understand how DC shareholders can allow the company to be run in such a haphazard manner, particularly a company allied and being drawn upon by the multi-million dollar movie industry. Does DC employ anyone with any expertise in marketing or branding? Is there anyone with even a business degree? There are some fundamental brand protection and brand building rules that DC must come to grips with if it is to preserve and develop it's valuable intellectual property. Why is this company left in the hands of a small bunch of maniacs?

After IC, OYL and 52 I got the impression that DC was building up to something. I may not have liked some of the things they were doing (return of the Multiverse) but I could at least respect that they had a direction in mind.
Then 52 ended and Countdown bounced like a dead cat. It seems like they've got everything tied into a series that a) isn't any good b) doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Does this mean that we have to wait at least a year while they clear the pipeline of all this Countdown related material in order to get to the possibility of something even remotely interesting? - July 18, 2007 at 7:22 AM

Great post, and something that's been percolating in my own mind as well.
What's most intriguing about the situation to me is that it seems like a train wreck by any objective standards, and yet both the company's top people and its most diehard fans seem to still have this lingering celebratory air of excitement, mixed with unearned optimism, topped off with abject denial.
If it is a train wreck, and I think it is (and only going to get worse, much worse, before it gets better) then it's like there's a mob of passionate train fans cheering on the locomotive as it plows into the station wagon sitting on the tracks. And that mob includes the executives of the train company, patting each other on the back over how well their trains run. - July 18, 2007 at 7:44 AM

Now, what does this remind me of? Oh, now I've got it! We've all missed the big picture: Didio and co. are doing a massive satirical performance art piece about the Bush Administration! (Maybe all the glorying in death and ultraviolence fits in there too.) And some people thought "Civil War" had real-world relevance! Clearly, I've misunderestimated Didio.
It is surprising, though, that the corporate bigwigs at Time/Warner would let him get away with using one of their companies for this purpose.... - July 18, 2007 at 8:12 AM

So what type of character are you playing in Oblivion?
- July 18, 2007 at 1:17 PM
- Todd C. Murry said...
I think it's an amalgam of the "creaters/characters/stories" in one dynamic - the audience knows that Meltzer "delivered the goods" (note how this phrase is value neutral on the "goods") on a big event comic with the big DC pantheon characters. Ergo, they trust that he'll do it again on JLA, which also contains big "important" stories of the pantheon. They might not follow him if he were on the Martian Manhunter comic, unless DC marketing convinced tham that "big things will happen and the universe will never be the same again" in said comic. So, its the combo of writer, writing certain characters, in a certain context of "largeness" of the events that attract the audience (attract is the wrong word... at this point's it's more "makes the audience afraid to miss" - I think alot of people reading actually don't like his writing, they just know that the Lighning saga will yeild something that is crucial to their understanding of the big DC picturs, and that the book will sell out if they don't buy it when it comes out, and they'll be SOL).
So, provent event comics writer + pantheon book promising BIG THINGS + fanboy fear of missing out = monster hit! - July 18, 2007 at 1:27 PM

1. I really should have proposed Bill Jemas as a replacement for DiDio. I wouldn't be entirely facetious in doing so.
2. Todd has illustrated a key point which probably deserves more attention: the importance of fear in current comics marketing. Quality is less important than being "in the know," or whatever. It's an attitude which might lend itself to the increasing rate of comics piracy--readers aren't invested in the actual finished comic, but in the act of following a soap opera. I'm going to think about this for a while--I really think there's something to it.
3. In Oblivion, I'm a Breton in a custom class ("Jeepish Knight"--one of our cats is named Jeep (named after the Segar creation, not the vehicle), and my wife and I have developed an elaborate discourse about him--probably a by-product of childlessness). My major skills are alteration, destruction, illusion, restoration, heavy armor, blunt, and sneak.
Might I add that playing Oblivion has sort of put me in the uncomfortable position of having to talk about Dungeons and Dragons type shit in a serious, non-sneering way? I resent that, but it's such a fun game. My wife is even more into it (she's a Wood Elf Agent, I think). - July 18, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Actually, my wife reminds me that I'm a Jeepish Monk. She using "Jeepsih Knight" to describe her custom class in Morrowind, which she's started playing recently. Also, I'm up to level 17 now.

I think you might be on to something with the "fear marketing". It's an interesting concept, and it certainly suckered me into buying stuff regularly for a while there. In fact, you hit the nail on the head in regards to motivation for piracy, at least in my case. For a while there, I was downloading comics on a weekly basis in order to keep up with what was going on without spending money on it, preferring to save my money for stuff I knew I would want to own. I believe I read both Infinite Crisis and Civil War in this manner. Lately, I've grown tired of superheroics though, so I don't really bother anymore. But you seemed to describe (a past version of) me exactly. Creepy.

I find the idea that Moon Knight is selling better than lots of top tier DC heroes interesting, because it's the most post-Meltzer/Johns DC esque of Marvel's titles. A first time comics writer goes out of his way- REALLY out of his way, to jack up the violence, retcons to spackle stuff that didn't need to be spackle, the hero's failings, to a laughably absurd degree. It's as if Huston, like Meltzer, is ashamed for still liking this stuff so he's got to g and g it up.

Los Angeles ( jə-ləs; lang, English: "The Angels"), with a population at the 2010 United States Census of 3,792,621, is the most populous city in California and the second most populous in the United States, after New York City, on a land area of 468.67 sqmi, and is located in the southern region of the state. It is the focal point of the larger Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside combined statistical area, which contains nearly 17.8 million people and which is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world and the second largest in the United States. Los Angeles is also the seat of Los Angeles County, the most populated and one of the most multicultural counties in the United States, while the entire Los Angeles area itself is recognized and regarded as the most diverse metropolitan area in the United States. The city's inhabitants are referred to as "Angelenos" . Often known by its initials, LA, and nicknamed the City of Angels, Los Angeles is a world center of business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, technology, and education. It is home to renowned institutions covering a broad range of professional and cultural fields, and is one of the most substantial economic engines within the United States. Los Angeles has been ranked the third richest city and fifth most powerful and influential city in the world, behind only New York City in the United States. The Los Angeles combined statistical area (CSA) has a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $831 billion (as of 2008), making it the third largest economic center in the world, after the Greater Tokyo Area and the New York metropolitan area. As the home base of Hollywood, it is known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World", leading the world in the creation of motion pictures, television production, video games, and recorded music. The importance of the entertainment business to the city has led many celebrities to call Los Angeles and its surrounding suburbs home. Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics as well as multiple games of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, including the final. Los Angeles is also home to renowned universities such as the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles. Los Angeles was founded on September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. Los Angeles enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with an average of 35 days with measurable precipitation annually. [more on Wikipedia]

I'm a expecting mother and have been waiting for a nice rocking seat for my son. When we received it was in excellent condition and the seams and stitching is very carefully crafted. Best toy we've bought so far for our son coming. On top of that its a organic, so can't wait until trying out! will update with what we think after trial.

As a big fan of MiYim products, I was so excited to see that they made a plush rocker. My son loves to put everything in his mouth so I was reluctant to get a rocker from another brand that does not use organic materials. The lion is cute and looks great in the nursery plus my son loves to ride it! He knew that it was his as soon as he saw it and he climbed right on top of it and started rocking!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jaimeg Finally, an eco friendly, organic rocker!
I was elated to finally find an organic, eco friendly rocker for my daughter! I love and trust the Miyim Brand so when this came out, I had to get it for her for Christmas. I love that it's a lion so it can be used for either gender. It's very sturdy, great quality and my daughter loves it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by NonnaC Adorable Fun!
We couldn't resist purchasing the Lion Rocker for our first grandson, based on its relationship to his name. I have to say that it exceeded our expectations in every regard: it is so charming we were sad to see it leave the house once the holiday ended. It is cuddly soft and generously fat, and such a delightful daffodil yellow. I thought it would simply look sweet in the nursery, but even at 9 months, he already loves sitting on it and rocking, with support; its face is so friendly that when he isn't perched on top, he crawls over and reaches up to pet the nose. The height is not intimidating and all parts are of excellent quality.

Ernie Banks hits 400th career home run
By Thomas Lawrence
Mr. Cub brightened an otherwise challenging season of "lovable losing" for Chicago Cubs fans 44 years ago today.
Taking on lefty Curt Simmons and the rival Cardinals on Sept. 2, 1965, Ernie Banks and the Cubs were simply trying to finish strong in a season in which they were 63-73 heading into play on that day.
After two scoreless frames at the plate for the Cubs, they manufactured a run and had future Hall of Famer Billy Williams and teammate Ron Santo on base for Banks.
An influential member of the post-Jackie Robinson era of African-American stars in Major League Baseball, and a former Negro leaguer himself with the Kansas City Monarchs, Banks stepped to the plate against Simmons looking to give the Cubbies a bigger lead, with the potential to set one of his many career milestones.
Banks promptly blasted the ball into the bleachers at Wrigley Field like he had so many times before. It was home run No. 400 for Banks, making him only the 11th player to join that club at the time – and only the second African American to do so, along with "The Say Hey Kid" Willie Mays.
Banks was also the first to join the home run club as a Cub, and is still one of only four former Cubs in the 500 home run club along with Sammy Sosa, Jimmie Foxx and Rafael Palmeiro.
"Without (Banks), the Cubs would finish in Albuquerque," said Jimmie *****, the manager of the White Sox from 1934-46.
Banks and the Cubs never reached the postseason during his 19 big league seasons. In 1965, the year of his historic 400th homer, the Cubs finished in eighth out of 10 in the NL with a .444 winning percentage.
But Banks certainly did his part to bring a pennant to Chicago. He is still No. 1 all-time in franchise history in games played (2,528), total bases (4,706) and extra base hits (1,009).
Banks was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977 in his first year eligible.
Thomas Lawrence was the 2009 publications intern at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Wild Justice: Poaching Pictures
I just finished watching wardens execute a search warrant on a young poacher wearing a bright pink collared shirt with cowboy hat. On his ranch this sicko snared n killed a bear, large Elk, hog killings by mid-evil swords, sheep, dods, coyotes and over a hundred in-tagged bucks! That's more then poaching that's sadistic behavior. That "rancher"/poacher in his pretty pink shirt needs to be strung up and experience everything those poor animals did! This goes far beyond hunting! It's a sickness for the need to mutilate and torture
Wild Justice seems to be an approprate title for this show because we become "justice stupid" when we send out paramilitary game wardens with an agenda to arrest every drunken hillbilly with a gun for what God himself has stamped into their DNA ( the urge to hunt animals).
There was a time when game wardens were nice, quiet, decent people that didn't have to where gun holsters or bullet proof vests. They came armed with citation booklets, and that's what they did, they wrote citations for minor infractions of the law. They certainly didn't go way out of their way to surf Craigslist for people who wanted to buy a trophy bearskin rug. Did they just assume that this fellow knew the law? After all, he wasn't the one who killed it - he wasn't the hunter. Oh.... wait a minute.... that was the game warden that was trying to sell the bear - he should have known the law. It sounds like this felon wasn't anywhere near as knowledgeable or predisposed to this crime as they thought. This game warden went to great lengths to set someone up (to the point of becoming an accomplice) and this should have been considered entrapment.
We, as a society, don't need a "War on Poaching". We add several wars every day to the list of costly and deadly wars we are already fighting. We need to be careful how these stings are conducted and who we deputize and give police powers to lest we become Justice Stupid as the people who slaughter these animals into extinction
