Are Breast Reductions Cancer Reducers, Too?
K. Mathews on 10 Oct 2011 at 3:30pm
Could plastic surgery help prevent breast cancer? Recent research seems to suggest that's the case, finding that women who undergo breast reduction procedures are less likely to develop breast cancer, perhaps cutting the risk by 50 – 70%. While it's premature to recommend that women downsize their busts, with 1 in 8 American women having breast cancer in their lifetimes, any news that may contribute toward decreasing this figure is welcome.
There is sometimes a misconception that plastic surgery on breasts may increase one's cancer risk. Earlier this year, torrie1976 asked whether a breast reduction would increase her risk of breast cancer. The RealSelf doctors uniformly assured her that it would not, alluding to studies that suggest that the opposite is actually true.
Looking at the wealth of research, it's hard to dismiss the validity. One study found a drop in breast cancer rates among women who have a family history of the disease after having a breast reduction.
Another finds that breast reductions later in life (after 40) are the most useful in cutting the likelihood of cancer.
It's not just an American phenomenon, either: independent studies in Denmark, Sweden, and Canada are finding the same reduced risk. However, the Canadian study does note that breast reduction does not impact women's breast cancer survival rate.
How, exactly, do breast reductions help prevent cancer? Thus far, the studies have only uncovered a correlation, not a specific cause and effect. But for many doctors, the answer seems pretty simple: "Less breast tissue means less tissue that can become cancerous," says Chicago Plastic Surgeon Dr. Lawrence Iteld.
So while breast reductions by no means spells a guarantee of avoiding cancer, it might be something for high-risk women who are unwilling to have a double mastectomy to consider.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - With staff ace Jordan Montgomery pitching the worst outing of his career Friday, all eyes were on how No. 2 starter Jack Wynkoop would respond after getting battered by Ole Miss a week ago and knocked form the game in the third inning after allowing seven hits and four runs.
Wynkoop pitched a gem. Facing the nation's most-prolific offense, he allowed just two runs, one in the second and one in the third, and five hits in No. 1 South Carolina's 2-1 loss to Kentucky on Saturday afternoon.
Kentucky's two runs came on a solo home run from catcher Micheal Thomas, who homered Friday night as well, and on an RBI single from Max Kuhn that scored JaVon Shelby. Shelby's run was a direct result of a Wynkoop balk, and after the game, Wynkoop was more focused on his mistakes than his success.
"I was efficient there toward the end but I missed some spots in the beginning," Wynkoop said. "I left a ball up (to Thomas) and balked a guy over, which cost us a couple of runs and proved to be the difference in the game.
"It's not something I'm happy with."
After the second run, Wynkoop responded by facing the minimum over the next three innings, seating nine straight before a leadoff single in the seventh that he followed by striking out the next three hitters.
"They were aggressive, a lot like Ole Miss was," Wynkoop said. "Keeping the ball out of the zon to some of their better hitters was important.
"It flt good to settle in, but it was still a tough loss. You definitely want to take one on the road, and that's kind of our mindset. We'll try to flush today and Friday."
Catcher Grayson Greiner said he was happy to see Wynkoop bounce back from his poor outing against Ole Miss.
"I was proud of the way Jack threw after kind of a rough outing last week," Greiner said. "He pitched much better, we played much better defense.
"I think he just got mad at himself. Last week he gave up some runs early and this week he gave up some runs early and I think he got a little pissed off and made some better pitches, hit the inside spot a little bit, grooved his changeup well and kept the guys off balance."
EARNING RESPECT: Kentucky has USC's respect, especially its offense. A week after being impressed with Ole Miss at the plat, the Wildacts' linup drew high praise from Greiner.
"We've played Ole Miss and Kentucky, which are two of the best hitting teams in my three years just one through nine in their approach," Greiner said. "They're good-hiting teams.
"(Kentucky) got the big hit when they needed it these first two days and we haven't gotten the big hit when we needed it."
DEAD MEAT: A day after going 0-for-5 in throwing out base runners, Grayson Greiner rebounded Saturday to go 1-for-2, making mincemeat of Matt Reida in the fifth.
"It was an off day yesterday," Greiner said. "I had a few high throws. Guys got some good jumps and I tried to rush my throws."
HOLBROOK ERUPTS: So what did the players think of seeing their head coach Chad Holbrook get ejected in the top of the fifth for the first time in his USC career?
"It kind of revitalized us," Greiner said. "We thought Tanner was definitely safe.
Coach Holbrook has our backs, we have his back. So the fact that the second he called him out he was already out in the umpire's face, that kind of fires us up in thn dugout. Obviously we'd have liked to have him in the dugout the whole game, but that fired us up a little bit. Unfortunately we didn't do enough to win the game."
Wynkoop felt the same.
"It definitely gave us more energy, more life," Wynkoop said. "I think people were definitely upset. It's what happens. It's baseball. Humans are calling the games, so anything can happen."
NO PANIC: Don't expect a veteran-led team to panic after two road losses. At least not as long as Greiner is around.
"We knew they were a good pitching team," Greiner said. "They have some guys that can throw and hit their spots. A.J. (Reed) is an All-American pitcher and hitter. He shut us down yesterday.
"I like the way we're swinging the bats, though. It's early in the season. We have a long SEC season ahead of us. We're not getting bent out of shape over two losses."
SILVER LININGS: A day after committing a season-high four errors, USC had none Saturday...Joey Pankake extended his hitting streak to nine games with his single in the third...Cody Mincey worked a scoreless eighth to give USC a chance to tie it in the ninth.

Vienna (Apr. 27)
About 100 Austrian tanks, originally intended to go to Chile, will be sold instead to Saudi Arabia, the West German magazine, Der Spiegel, reported today. The sale to Chile by the tank manufacturer, Steyr-Daimler-Puch, fell through last year after widespread public protests forced the government to deny an export permit to that country, governed by a rightwing military dictatorship.
The manufacturer has since managed to interest the Saudis in buying most of the tanks, Der Spiegel said. Despite opposition in Parliament by members who consider the deal potentially dangerous to Israel, it is apparently supported by Foreign Minister Willipald Pahr. Der Spiegel quoted Pahr as observing that the Arabs are not engaged in a shooting war with Israel. The Foreign Ministry said Pahr made that remark in a general context over a month ago and was not referring to any specific arms deal.
In an unrelated development, the Court of Appeals here ruled Friday that the Communist daily, Volksstimme, was not guilty of libel when it branded as fascist the magazine Bundesturnzeitung, organ of the Oesterreichischer Turnerbund (OETB), a large Austrian sports club. The ruling brought to an end a two-year libel action against the Communist newspaper by the OETB. The OETB was appealing a decision against it by a Vienna press court last December.

Warm weather a concern for Sunday's marathon
Updated 11:06 pm, Saturday, November 10, 2012
Stanley Biwott didn't flinch when he considered the forecast for today's Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon and 1/2 Marathon. For the world-class road racer, a native of Kenya, soaring temperatures and humidity are simply part of the challenge.
"For any race, you prepare very smart," he said this week. "Then you go out and run."
While Biwott, 26, may have little trouble touring the city's streets in unfavorable conditions for distance running, the weather may be more of a test for many of the roughly 25,000 participants in today's marathon, half-marathon, mini-marathon, cycling and wheelchair events.
Sports Channel
While a stiff cold front is expected to arrive later today, it is forecast to be near 70 degrees at the 6:45 a.m. starting gun for the bike tour. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 80s as the day progresses.
"It could be the difference between a personal record and a 'Did Not Finish,'" said San Antonio's Andrea Duke, a Boston Marathon qualifier who will compete in her 40th marathon.
Officials with the Competitor Group, which oversees the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, have initiated heat protocols to deal with the conditions for the fifth annual event. Volunteers and more than 300 medical personnel will be scattered throughout the courses with drinks, air-conditioned buses and cold sponges at various stations and iced towels at the finish line.
At last year's race, San Antonio half-marathoner Jorge Fernandez, 32, collapsed and died after completing his run. An autopsy indicated the cause was heat stroke.
Several of his friends and family will walk the half-marathon course in "Team Jorge" T-shirts.
"Our message would be, especially under these hot and humid conditions, to really listen to your body," said Cyndi Mendez, who was the late runner's fiancée.

The New Orleans VooDoo enters Saturday night's Arena Football League game against Tampa Bay Sharks at the Smoothie King Center without their former leading receiver, a culmination of events which placed L.J. Castille within reach of the Canadian Football League then back to the AFL — only now in Los Angeles.
Castille left the VooDoo after a 65-26 loss at the Pittsburgh Power on June 7, deciding he would pursue an offer with the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos. When he was unable to finalize a deal, Castille attempted to return to the VooDoo.
Yet the VooDoo did not create a roster spot for Castille, whose 68 catches for 921 yards and 26 touchdowns lead the offense.
On Thursday, Castille was traded to the L.A. KISS.
"It's been really stressful," he said. "Nobody wants to sit out time during the season, especially if you're not in trouble or injured. To be able to start a new career somewhere else, it's encouraging. To be wanted, it feels good."
The move to the KISS reunites Castille, a four-year AFL pro, with former VooDoo receiver Donovan Morgan, a New Orleans native.
Despite Morgan's 98 catches this season for 1,185 yards and 45 TDs — ranking him second in the AFL — Los Angeles averages just 36.7 points per game, worst in the 14-team league. The VooDoo ranks 12th (43.6).
On Friday, Castille on Friday criticized the VooDoo (2-10) for its part in the situation: "When I came back, I do feel like it could have been handled a little faster, and more professional. But once again, that comes from the leadership, top to bottom."
VooDoo coach Pat O'Hara declined to discuss specifics but said he valued Castille as a player. The two worked together since Castille arrived in New Orleans for the 2011 AFL season.
"There are a lot of things that didn't go right with what happened with L.J., but I would just say right now that it's more important to talk about the players that are on our football team," O'Hara said.
"We wish him the best. I like L.J., and I hope he does well in the future."
The VooDoo enters Saturday's game against Tampa Bay (4-8) with rookie quarterback Adam Kennedy, whose second-half performance last Saturday at the Cleveland Gladiators showed promise for the future. Kennedy finished with 224 yards passing and two TDs. He also threw one interception and ran for two scores.
The VooDoo, outscored 34-6 in the first half, scored on all but one possession in the second half (6 of 7) before losing 62-46.
At receiver, the VooDoo is expected to play with Courtney Smith (six receptions, 55 yards, TD), Quorey Payne (25-326 yards, seven TDs) and Antonio Robinson (4-65 yards, TD).
Tampa Bay quarterback R.J. Archer ranks fifth in the league with 3,076 yards and 63 TDs.
Receiver Jomo Wilson has a team-high 50 catches for 645 yards and 12 scores.

Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team driver Evgeny Novikov took his best result of the season on Rally de Portugal last weekend, but still had mixed feelings at the finish

Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team driver Evgeny Novikov took his best result of the season on Rally de Portugal last weekend, but still had mixed feelings at the finish.
The Russian ran in the points throughout the three-day event, the fourth round in the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship, and moved up to fourth, where he would eventually finish, in the opening test on Saturday after Dani Sordo and Thierry Neuville both went out.
However, despite a very solid run, he was unable to show his customary speed. Indeed four fifth fastest times was as good as it got, much to his frustration, especially as he was unable to put his finger precisely on what was wrong.
"Fourth place is a very good result for us, but still I was not so happy with the times. It was a difficult weekend for us. I was pushing on the stages but for some reason the times just weren't where they needed to be," he said.
"This [fourth place] is definitely the maximum I could have achieved this weekend, so I am happy with that.
"Now we just need to make sure we work hard and come back stronger in Argentina."
Meanwhile, Nasser Al-Attiyah led the way for the Qatar World Rally Team - effectively M-Sport's 'B' team - and he finished just one spot back, his second top-five result in succession.
"This is a fantastic result for us," he reflected. "It was not an easy rally but I think we performed really well and, as always, the team did a great job with the car. Our times are continually improving.
"This car is totally new for me this year and we are still learning, so to see the times improve like this is really good."

Ta-da! The zEnterprise is out!! I admit I hinted a while back, and yes a little bit last time, about continued evolution and here… it…. is… the System of Systems, the third dimension of not just making processors with faster engines or specialized function, not just growing the number of processors, but now pulling in other platform systems into the z complex.
After going to the teach the teachers session, I took my notes and summarized them for some internal calls with teams, so have been summarizing and netting out, boiling the ocean and relooking at materials. I won't try to give an announcement here, but just touch on some highlights.
First, realize the vertical integration this reflects, the added dimension of creating the hypervisor of hypervisors (Universal Resource Manager) on top of the other platforms so that the zEnterprise system now wraps its arms around --and the amount of integration represented here. (I understand our friends at Gartner used the term: 'brilliant' in describing the Universal Resource Manager !)
Next, look at the concept of being able to manage, as in Service Level Agreements, not just workload, but security, availability and virtualization targets. (..and the implied amount of monitoring and reporting behind the scenes…)
Then, look at the absolutely killer numbers BOTH in the base complex of the z196 for the kinds of technology improvements we are used to seeing in new z generations, and also in the incredible impact on space, energy, and operating costs compared to an infrastructure before (yesterday!) the zEnterprise complex.
Note that in the z Blade Extension (zBX), that the Power7 and SAO optimizer blades are first, followed next year by DataPower and x-series blades. Take a hard look at what improvements to certain star queries-- that may be 80 fold (or more)-- might do to the concept of how you build your analytics and process systems. And….. if you have looked at the System z Management Facility, look at the new CICS Deployment Assistant that may reduce administrative time up to 80% !
OK, I am giddy… I promised not to repeat the announcement here. It is just so packed with improvements it will take us all time to fully absorb it. So, dive it, we'll talk later.

To the Editor:
A few weeks back Tom West's column about the "Winter Misery Index" contained a statement about global warming and that he was looking forward to its return.
This demonstrates that he doesn't grasp the concept, or the implications of this serious subject.
Two weeks ago NOAA released a map showing what the average temperatures have been this past winter and just as the meteorologists have been telling us, the Pacific Ocean by Malaysia/Indonesia and the gulf of Alaska have set new record warm temperatures. This has caused the jet-stream to go north of where it normally is in winter, consequently keeping California dry and our region colder just as we've been told by reputable scientists all winter. This also proves their hypothesis that temperature extremes will be part of the phenomena as it progresses.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere that the earth sequestered into the ground millions of years ago. Carbon creates a greenhouse effect which is the cause of global warming. Carbon gases were proven to have this ability over 150 years ago.
Global warming hasn't gone away. On the contrary, it's doing what has been predicted. — Bruce F. Retka, Royalton

Let's face it: things are not looking good for the Wii U. After decent sales at launch, movement of Nintendo's new console has slowed substantially. More importantly, support for the platform is an outright mess.
While some games, like Watch_Dogs for example, are doing their best to keep the Wii U relevant, other publishers don't see the value in porting a title if sales are so low. That's why the newly unveiled Battlefield 4 is not coming to the console.
But poor sales are not been for a lacking of trying on Nintendo's part, or at least "trying." They've been recently running a flyer that helps consumers understand "Why Wii U?" Check it out below:
Yeah, not exactly a system seller, but at least Nintendo is playing it smart and comparing their new console against the original Wii. Perhaps Wii owners will see the flyer and consider a purchase. No? Well, at least they tried.
Unfortunately, it only gets worse from there, as more publishers/developers/gaming companies are balking at Wii U support. When asked if Aliens: Colonial Marines was still coming to the Wii U, Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford said "[publisher] SEGA's got to figure that out."
Prior to the launch of Colonial Marines, and the subsequent critical bashing it received, hopes were high that Colonial Marines might be a solid system seller for the Wii U. Using the gamepad as a motion tracker was an interesting mechanic, and there was the promise of improved visuals.
Unfortunately, most of that hype appears to have been for naught. Neither SEGA nor Gearbox want to say the game has been cancelled, but no one wants to provide any evidence to the contrary. It just seems like a bad situation all around.
And finally comes a really big nail in the Wii U coffin: no Unreal Engine 4 support. Epic Games' next-gen engine has been the talk of the town since the PS4 unveiling, with gamers giddy at the possibility of better visual fidelity.
However, when Epic's VP Mark Rein was asked about whether UE4 would support Wii U, he just laughed. Well, he didn't just laugh — he laughed and then said "no."
Continuing on, Rein explained that Unreal Engine 3 is still perfectly capable of delivering great games, even though Unreal Engine 4 is the future of the next-gen:
"I mean, sorry, it's not really a correct answer. We're not… we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right? And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3. We announced today about a new Unreal Engine 3 license. Unreal Engine 3 doesn't disappear because of Unreal Engine 4. But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles. That's really what our energies are focused on. If you want to make a Wii U game, we have Unreal Engine 3, and it's powering some of the best games on the Wii U already."
Things are obviously not looking good for the Wii U, but all that could change come E3. Nintendo has a big announcement-filled panel planned, where they will be brining a new Mario Kart, a new 3D Mario, and hopefully a few surprises. For now, however, momentum is planted squarely in the next-gen's court. It's up to Nintendo to steal it back.
[UPDATE} Mark Rein has clarified his previous statements saying that Unreal Engine 4 can run on Wii U, or any console for that matter. However, developers will likely have to make concessions in order to make that possible. Here's the quote courtesy of Engadget:
"You heard the stupid gaffe yesterday about the Wii U. If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can! If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen."
Do you think a lack of next-gen engine support will hurt the Wii U? What can save the Wii U's downward spiral?

Quentin Tarantino Knows Exactly Who His Best Character Is – For A Really Weird Reason
Quentin Tarantino is by no means a prolific writer and director. Since the early '90s he's only made a handful of films — he'd say 8, though if we're getting technical it's more like 12. He's been saying for a while now that feels like a good number to retire at, so it's possible we may only get two more Tarantino films. At the Jerusalem Film Festival this past weekend Tarantino conceded that he probably shouldn't commit to a definitive total of 10 films, saying:
"I am planning to stop at 10 [films], but at 75 I might decide I have another story to do."
Nothing shocking there, any artist would be a fool to corner themselves into trying to be definitive about their career. While two, or more, Tarantino films sounds great, it was Tarantino's insight into his favorite of his many original characters that was most interesting. How does the man who wrote Calvin Candie (Django Unchained), Beatrix "The Bride" Kiddo (Kill Bill), and Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction) decide which of his many characters is the best? Apparently quite easily.
With hardly a thought Tarantino shared with the audience the character he is most proud of:
"[Hans] Landa [from 'Inglourious Basterds'] is the best character I've ever written and maybe the best I ever will write. I didn't realize [when I was first writing him] that he was a linguistic genius. He's probably one of the only Nazis in history who could speak perfect Yiddish."
Inglourious Basterds is certainly among Tarantino's best films — though honestly, at only eight films don't they all deserve such acknowledgment? The film is chock full of intricate characters, from the ultra-American Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) to the vengeance-seeking Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), but Landa does stand out. He's by far Tarantino's most sadistic villain and not just because he's a Nazi.
As a Standartenführer (Colonel) in the SS and nicknamed "The Jew Hunter," he takes more pride in the genocide of the Jews than his fellow officers. The man drinks milk while calmly hunting innocent people down. He's cheerfully patient, even when choking a woman with his bare hands. And like Tarantino said, he's master of several languages and intuitively curious, giving him an extra brainiac-level of evilness.
Considering the often complex nature of his characters — hero or villain — it isn't especially surprising he'd choose a total, ahem, bastard to be his favorite. Did Tarantino speak too quickly? Is Hans Landa truly his best character or would you argue for one of his many others?
Tell me your favorite Tarantino character in the comments below!

Youth Employment Secretary Angela Constance has pledged a "hearts and minds" campaign to make studying at college more attractive after a new report raised concerns that some young people are not being equipped for work.
Sir Ian Wood, the former chairman of the Wood Group, has published his final report into developing the country's young workforce. He concluded that "we are simply not preparing or equipping these young people for the world of work".
The system is too focused on the 50 per cent with academic aspirations while the other half are given "fill-in things to do" until they leave school, he said. He has set out 39 recommendations including quality work experience and a recognition of colleges' role in developing the workforce.

Ms Constance said: "We have to engage in a hearts and minds campaign to get away from vocational versus academic and this notion that vocational education is only for those who perhaps don't do quite as well in their highers.
"European countries that have very successful economies have very well-established vocational education training which is highly regarded by business."

WASHINGTON — Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney and fellow members of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) were in Washington, D.C., last week to confer with members of Congress about ongoing financial and health reform efforts.
More than 35 state insurance regulators gathered for the NAIC Washington Forum where they were briefed by Nancy-Ann DeParle, White House deputy chief of staff, and Steve Larsen, deputy director for oversight, Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at Health and Human Services. Chair of the House Financial Services Committee Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) and Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) also addressed the regulators.
Chaney and five other commissioners from Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia met with Sen. Roger Wicker ((R-Miss.) on his new legislation addressing wind-verses-water issues, which he introduced in Congress May 26. In addition, regulators urged their congressional delegates to consider long-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program.
"Meeting members of Congress in Washington, D.C., helps to reinforce the connection between actions at the federal level and the impact it has back home," Chaney said. "State regulators are the best resource to help Congress understand how we can work together to protect consumers and promote competitive insurance markets in Mississippi."

Owner: Sean Rosser
'68 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Mt. Washington, KY
Uce C.C.
In this month's Bumps and Dumps, we feature an updated look at a past Cover Car, "Voo Doo Lounge" which originally graced the pages of LRM in the March issue of '08. Sean Rosser has been in the Lowrider scene for many years, representing the world renown Uce C.C. Currently living in Mt. Washington, in Kentucky, Sean's trunk setup is one of the best setups east of the Mississippi. After the car was featured back in '08, Sean decided to push the limits even more by redoing the trunk setup, utilizing good friend Jason Caranto's talents. Based out of Louisville, KY, Jason used his insight to set the Caddy up at his house and installed a Chrome Pro hopper whammy Pump setup to revamp the trunk. The set up was also fully hard lined from front to back, in order to prevent any leaking. To give the Cadillac a clean look, the setup was also accompanied by three chrome Adex dumps, and a custom-built chrome pump and battery rack. Before the setup was installed, Sean had John Arnold of Smart Shoppers in Louisville, KY construct a fiberglass custom housing for the three 10-inch Rockford Fosgate woofers. After the sound system and the setup was finished, the fiberglass housing, trunk, and the 6 batteries were custom painted to match the paint scheme on the rest of the car. Sean now shows off the trunk of his Caddy, but would like to thank his wife Lisa, and his kids Paige and Jared, for helping out. Sean also extends a special thanks to Jason Caranto for hooking up "Voo Doo Lounge" with an award-winning setup. Great job guys!

Legal Review: FTC Slims Down Nivea's Wallet Over 'My Silhouette' Claims1 Sep, 2011 By: Jeffrey D. Knowles, Venable LLP's Advertising, Gary D. Hailey Response
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was once termed "The National Nanny" by the Washington Post. We never had nannies growing up, but we did have moms. They always told us that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
The FTC agrees with our moms 110 percent. The agency recently issued an order against what it views as the latest in a long line of too-good-to-be-true weight-loss products.
The company that felt the wrath of the FTC this time was the maker of Nivea "My Silhouette" cream with "Bio-Slim Complex," a combination of ingredients that includes anise and white tea.
The FTC complaint against Nivea cites one TV spot that depicts a woman getting dressed after applying My Silhouette cream to her stomach and thighs. She then goes digging through her closet and emerges with an old pair of jeans that fit perfectly when she puts them on. The voiceover that accompanies this little vignette says that My Silhouette with Bio-Slim Complex "helps redefine the appearance of your silhouette … so you can rediscover your favorite jeans. And how they still get his attention."
There probably is an implied claim that the product slims down your midsection in that TV spot. But, it is pretty subtle — at least when compared to a lot of the advertising that is out there. There is no way to know this for sure, but we would bet dollars to donuts that the FTC wouldn't have brought a case against Nivea if this TV spot was the only component of the campaign.
The advertiser was probably tripped up by the sponsored search results it bought from Google. When consumers searched "stomach fat," they received a sponsored link from Nivea that read, "Want a Toned Stomach? Nivea My Silhouette can redefine the appearance of your curves." And when they searched "thin waist," they received a Nivea ad that read: "Thin Waist: Try Nivea My Silhouette body gel cream and redefine your curves!" So the FTC alleged that Nivea had communicated a message to consumers that "regular use of My Silhouette results in significant reductions in body size."
"Redefine the appearance of your curves" is not exactly "lose 30 pounds in 30 days without diet or exercise," is it? What really sank Nivea were the search terms the company bought from Google — "thin waist," for example.
When you pay good money so that consumers who search Google to find information about "thin waist" are directed to your product's website, it is a difficult to argue that you had no intention of claiming that you can help them get a thin waist.
The FTC's reasoning wouldn't apply to all sponsored search results. For example, let's say that you sell jeans with an elastic waistband. If you purchased "thin waist" searches from Google, it is doubtful the FTC would argue that you are claiming that wearing elastic-waist jeans would result in a thinner waist.
But the agency believed that consumers who saw the My Silhouette ad pop up in their "thin waist" search results were likely to conclude that Nivea was promising that its product would reduce your body size. And that was a claim that the FTC found to be unsubstantiated.
So the makers of Nivea were forced to sign a consent agreement that prohibits them from claiming weight loss, fat loss or a reduction in body size unless they have at least two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies that were conducted by independent and qualified researchers.
And even if Nivea has two such studies that support its claims, the FTC will look at those studies in the light of "the entire body of relevant of reliable scientific evidence" — so if other studies go the other way, Nivea still might lose.
Nivea also agreed to pay $900,000 to the FTC. That settlement is much smaller than many others, but that tidy sum — and the conditions that come with Nivea's consent agreement — will likely be significant enough to get the attention of even the largest marketers. ■

MONDAY, Jan. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Among patients with psoriatic arthritis, there is a small bidirectional association between depressive symptoms and pain, but the strongest predictors of change in each symptom are the corresponding previous values, according to a study published online Jan. 9 in Arthritis Care & Research.
Janice A. Husted, Ph.D., from the University of Waterloo in Canada, and colleagues analyzed data from 394 patients attending the University of Toronto psoriatic arthritis clinic who were followed up over a mean period of 7.5 years with annual assessments, including the number of swollen joints (SJC), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and the Medical Outcome Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36). The association between changes in HAQ pain and in the SF-36 mental component score (MCS) was assessed.
The researchers found that, for changes in pain, SJC, and depressive symptoms, the strongest predictors of change between visits were the scores of the corresponding variables at the previous visit (standardized regression coefficients >0.75 in absolute value). There was evidence of a small bidirectional relationship between depressive symptoms and pain (standardized regression coefficients <0.3). Previous MCS scores and the change in MCS scores both correlated with the between-visit change in pain, while previous pain scores and changes in pain scores were correlated with the between-visit change in depressive symptoms.
"Even though cross-variable associations between pain and depressive symptoms exist, changes in pain and depressive symptomatology appear to be strongly driven by their measurements at the previous visit," the authors write.

|Samples collected in the deep Nazaré Canyon and at the adjacent slope, during the HERMES RRS Discovery D297 cruise(2005),were analysed for metazoan meiofauna, nematode structure and diversity and its relation to quality and quantity of sedimentary organic material. The amount and quality of organic matter available for direct consumption was much higher in the canyon compared to the slope and positively correlated with high nematode abundances (795–1171 ind.10cm?2) and biomass (93.2–343.5 mg dry weight 10cm?2), thus leading to higher standing stocks. Canyon nematode assemblages also showed particular adaptations (e.g.higher trophic complexity, variability of nematodemorphology, and presence of opportunistic genera) to canyon conditions, particularly in the deeper sediment layers.The Nazaré Canyon's nematode diversity was slightly lower than that of the adjacent slope and its assemblages were characterised by a higher dominance of certain genera.Still,the canyon contributes considerably to total Western Iberian Margin diversity due to different assemblages present compared to the slope. Furthermore,the harsh conditions in terms of hydrodynamic disturbance and the high organic matter flux are likely to have a negative impact on the establishment of species rich meiobenthic communities, especially in the canyon axis.

ST. PETERSBURG — In a matter of days, 18 vehicles had been broken into. Gone were iPods, radios and GPS devices.
On March 26, police arrested a 36-year-old New York fugitive as he was reaching into a parked car downtown. He was charged with multiple burglary-related counts.
Authorities think that since late February, Francisco Garcia may have been responsible for break-ins of nearly 50 vehicles, including several at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.
These acts were not done under cover of night, police say. Many took place in broad daylight. Police believe Garcia, a transient, was trading stolen items with drug dealers to support a crack cocaine habit.
St. Petersburg Detective Tim Brown said that in many cases, Garcia was operating from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., riding around downtown and as far as Clearwater Beach on a bicycle with a small bag to carry his booty.
"Witnesses said you would have never guessed this guy would be a burglar, or a crack addict," Brown said. "He would trade in two or three units (of stolen goods) at a time for more drugs."
Garcia was being held Tuesday at the Pinellas County Jail on 19 burglary-related charges. He is also wanted on a fugitive warrant in New York on drug charges. Brown said he will be extradited when his St. Petersburg charges are resolved.
Garcia's case is typical for people believed to be dependent on crack cocaine, a highly addictive drug that police estimate sells for about $1,000 an ounce.
It provides users with a high that lasts no longer than 15 minutes, and the withdrawal effects provide an intense craving for more because of the way it alters the brain.
"It's something that you chase, basically," said Marvin Coleman, vice president of community relations with Operation PAR, a mental health and substance abuse facility with headquarters in Pinellas Park. "You come down off that high and you want it back. It's an intense rush of a feeling. It speeds you up.
"Once you are trapped into the addiction period, you relatively do anything to get the effects and feel more of the drug. You'll hock, you'll sell the things you have. Once that runs out, you'll rob and steal so you can get more."
For the first two months of this year, officers recovered more than 126 ounces of crack.
At USF St. Petersburg, police officials held a small safety meeting on campus to promote student awareness after eight vehicle break-ins in a month. Campus police Lt. Reggie Oliver said that they see that many break-ins in a typical year.
Some neighborhoods are also getting involved to fight drug-related crime. Valerie Bickford, co-block captain of the Historic Uptown Neighborhood Association, said residents have taken several steps to discourage crime.
Bickford, the victim of a recent vehicle burglary, said several neighbors' bikes have been stolen. She said neighbors are working on beautification projects to deter criminals, and they recently shut down a notorious crack house.
"I really believe that when places look nice, people think twice, (and) when things look raggedy, people don't," Bickford said.
She said that police and code enforcement officers have been helpful, as well.
St. Petersburg police spokesman Bill Proffitt said it's unlikely that the drug dealers who traded drugs for stolen gadgets pawned the items, which minimizes the chance of the items being recovered. Instead, he said, "it's likely they're selling them right on the street."
Times researcher Caryn Baird contributed to this report. Austin Bogues can be reached at email@example.com or (727) 893-8872.

The Partnership Excellence Award recognises the close connections the University has with its external partners.
These organisations that are true partners for Massey and share our vision to take the best of New Zealand to the rest of the world through excellence in creativity, connections and innovation.
The Warehouse Group is a major supporter of the Massey Business School, providing significant assistance for the school's retail studies initiatives.
The group has endorsed research conducted at the Centre for Advanced Retail Studies and contributes to the success of the annual Sir Stephen Tindall Distinguished Professor Lecture.
They sponsor the Stephen Small Award for the best overall student performance in the Fundamentals of Retailing course; the prize includes a day shadowing a senior executive at The Warehouse Group.
In recent years Massey's College of Creative Arts and Weta Workshop have collaborated on initiatives that have showcased New Zealand expertise internationally.
Together the organisations have visited the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art in China and jointly hosted the academy when its staff visited New Zealand.
Last year, Massey and Weta sponsored New Zealand's first Art and Industry of Imagination conference, which saw leading artists from New Zealand and around the world meet to discuss and demonstrate the behind-the-scenes magic that turns sci-fi and fantasy worlds into on-screen reality.
Finalists are selected from a wide range of organisations, locally and internationally. Each finalist has a longstanding relationship with Massey University and we congratulate them on being nominated.
Fertiliser company Ravensdown has a long history with Massey University, supporting research and scholarships, extending back to 1983.

No travel advised in Becker County; thin layer of ice covers roads
DETROIT LAKES - The public is being asked to avoid traveling in Becker County tonight if possible.
The Becker County Sheriff's Office said that a weather front moving through the county has brought rapidly dropping temperatures, prompting black ice to form on roads.
"We are asking people not to travel unless absolutely necessary," a news release issued late Friday afternoon said. "If travel is necessary, reduce speeds as ice cannot be seen and the roads are extremely treacherous."
Roads may appear dry but are covered with a layer of ice that can't be seen, the Sheriff's Office said.

The word is out that citizens are invited to Eureka City Hall to express what qualities they might desire in a new police chief. What they didn't mention is that there are different styles or philosophies in policing. The style the new chief represents is as important as the qualities he bring with him.
There are different styles in policing.
A military style emphasizes maintaining order through show of force and punitive measures. It is generally reactive rather than pro-active. The philosophy is one of us against them. This style can encourage the protection of a single group of citizens over the general population.
There is the legalistic style of policing, which is less likely to favor one group of citizens over another. It is a "by the law" style.
And then there is the service style, which emphasizes the service functions of police work -- protecting citizens.
Any police force is going to be a combination of the three. The actions and strategies we choose need to be well thought out. We have limited resources, major crime problems and a catch-and-release system of handling our most dedicated criminals.
While we can not ask everything of our new police chief I would ask that he be a strong believer in the benefits of continued training for our officers. Every call they answer has the possibility to be uniquely dangerous, to require split-second decision making. Continued professional training will ensure their ability to respond with correct action. To ask someone to face danger and not have them prepared is unconscionable.
Training is also cost-saving. We have several cases still pending that can cost our county millions of dollars.
I would also like our new chief to encourage the support of the community and other agencies. Meth and the crimes committed daily by those on our streets with addiction problems can not be solved by police work alone. These problems are not going to go away with the current means that we are dealing with them. We need a chief of police who is willing to be proactive in order to break this cycle of crime.
If our city is to regain an acceptable level of safety and rid itself of the burden citizens face in dealing with the after affects of crime we are going to need a police chief who understands the limitations of the military style of policing.
Kathy Srabian resides in Eureka.

Summer 2012: Addressing Real Madrid's True NeedsJuly 19, 2012
Summer 2012: Addressing Real Madrid's True Needs
Hala Madrid! The La Liga champions excitedly look forward for the oncoming 2013 season and another chance at glory.
Despite world-leading play, countless players have been linked to Real Madrid. That should come as no surprise considering how wealthy the Spanish giants are.
What is surprising though is the players currently being connected for a move to Madrid, players whose necessity, and more importantly, impact, are being called into question.
Although they very well might be the world's best, Madrid do need to sign some players, mostly for depth, to continue their dominance and to produce both domestic and European glory.
Depth Behind Khedira
Sami Khedira pairs up next to Xabi Alonso once more going into the 2012/2013 season, but behind Khedira, the depth is thin.
Nuri Sahin could arguably fill this back-up role, although his abilities are not a perfect fit. Jose Mourinho prefers only one deep-lying playmaker and a true defensive stalwart next to him.
Lassana Diarra, should he remain for another season, is tailor made for this role and honestly is more of defensive talent than Khedira. Diarra has seemed like a surplus in Madrid though, since Mourinho's arrival. He's not quite the passer Madrid want and has seemed inconsistent in his opportunities.
The best replacement for Diarra is undoubtedly Javi Martinez of Athletic Bilbao. He is a gigantic midfielder at 6'3 and averages more tackles and interceptions than Khedira. He's also a better passer than the German and familiar with La Liga having played his career in Spain.
Martinez also possess the ability to play as a center back, which is important considering Raul Albiol and Ricardo Carvalho are likely to see their Madrid careers end soon.
The only problem that comes with obtaining the Spanish star is the price tag. Bilbao don't let their players leave cheaply, so an offer of £20 million is likely the lowest that will be accepted.
Martinez is far and away the best fit for what Madrid need and would definitely provide competition for Khedira for a starting role. He is young at 23 years old and as dominant as many of the well-known veteran holding midfielders. The world is not deep in young, tough players like Martinez, so it should be no surprise that there aren't a variety of options.
Depth Behind Ozil
The Brazilian Kaka, surely an all-time legend, has likely seen his time at Madrid run out. After awe-inspiring performances for AC Milan, Kaka garnered intense interest from Real Madrid and made the then-most expensive transfer of all-time to the Spanish capital. He's played at a good level but never met his expectations, largely due to injury.
Why does his departure matter? Because he's the only player suited to come on for Mesut Ozil.
Ozil, an undeniable talent in midfield, has led Europe's top leagues in assists for two straight years. He is also only 23. While Ozil's spot in the starting line-up is surely a lock, he needs depth behind him in the form of a creative midfielder. Mourinho rarely allows Ozil to play the full 90 minutes, so a signing makes sense.
Personally, I am a big fan of Madrid using their academy for their needs when possible; however, in this case it seems there is really no Castilla suited to cover Ozil.
Rumors are buzzing about what seems to be the imminent signing of Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric. Modric, 26 years old, has been impressive from Tottenham in his time at the London club, revealing himself to be among the world's elite passers.
Questions abound about the transfer, though. As Tottenham's principle midfielder, the cost for Modric must be huge, with the Daily Mail stating Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is demanding £35 million for his star. Madrid undoubtedly have the money, but do fans really want to see them spend that much on a player who seems destined to play second fiddle?
There must also be questions about Modric's talents in comparison to Ozil's. Ozil is a clear creator, making up the passes that lead immediately to the goals, hence his 17 league assists in just 30 games. In contrast, Modric creates for the suppliers in a manner similar to Barcelona's Xavi or Madrid's own Xabi Alonso. Modric, in 36 league starts, assisted just four goals. Is he more suited to play in Alonso's spot?
And, given that question, if he is to be Alonso's back-up, who is Ozil's back-up, and what is to become of Nuri Sahin, the Turkish midfielder who shone brightly for Borussia Dortmund but struggled for playing time due to injury in his debut year for Madrid?
My personal favorite for the attacking midfielder role is Sao Paolo's Lucas Moura. The Brazilian at just 19 years old has already established himself as an intelligent midfielder with world class dribbling and an ability to create and score.
Lucas' transfer would likely be around £35 million, but the money would be well spent for such a young and technically gifted star. He is a perfect replacement for Kaka and could also serve as a winger if needed. For me, this signing makes more sense given how bright a future Lucas will surely have and how well he fills in for Kaka.
Depth Behind Casillas
Iker Casillas is arguably the world's best keeper and has been for several years. He's been a favorite at Madrid and served as the captain for both club and country. He's won every accolade on the planet and, still only 31, has already made his case for being the greatest of all-time.
Behind him is the unheralded Antonio Adan. Adan came through the Castilla ranks, and although not posting overly impressive numbers, he is certainly capable of playing as a starter for a big club. Adan's fate has found him trapped behind the legendary Casillas with no hope of taking a regular first team spot.
Realizing this, the Spanish keeper has opted to not sign an extension and will see his contract expire in 2014. Real Madrid will need to find a young replacement for Adan, perhaps thinking about a player to serve as Casillas' back-up and future replacement. Tomas Mejias of Castilla might be a suitable replacement; although, he lacks the impressiveness to actually replace Casillas.
Borussia Mönchengladbach keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, at only 20 years of age, has been incredible in his playing time. The young German recorded a dazzling 103 saves in his 34 starts for his Bundesliga club. Although not rumored to make a switch to Real Madrid (Madrid don't really seem to be in the market for a keeper yet), he is young enough to be in his prime when Casillas retires.
Once Adan actually leaves, Madrid will undoubtedly be scanning the market for a suitable replacement.
A Third Striker
Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain have formed a deadly striking tandem. Whether used together or as subs for each other, the two are dominant and each constantly makes a case to be first choice. Both netted over 20 times in La Liga last season, and, considering the English Premier League had just three strikers total with over 20 goals, it's no surprise that both players are highly coveted by other clubs.
Higuain seems the more likely to depart despite outscoring Benzema. The Argentine started less than his French counterpart and doesn't quite fit into the offense as well as Benzema. That said, both are committed to stay for the 2012/2013 season. Considering both are just 24, the prospect of the pair continuing to play along side each other is mouthwatering.
The fact of the matter, though, is that with so much talent crowded at the striker position, one player will surely want to leave, and the rumors about the players never seem to stop. Regardless of the fact that both are expected to stay this season, if one is injured, Madrid will find themselves with just one striker, in a similar position they found themselves in in 2010.
Jose Callejon, a forward who came through Castilla before being sold to Espanyol and eventually returning to Madrid, is likely that third striker. I personally feel that his 15 goals across all competitions overestimate his abilities.
Callejon has found success as a sub in blow-out matches and has never made a name for himself as any sort of game-changer or impact player. Mourinho likely brought in the Spaniard for depth behind the strikers and winger Angel Di Miara, and while Callejon is okay at being a regular sub, he really lacks the ability one would expect in a Madrid player.
Alvaro Morata should be the third striker. A Castilla member himself, Morata is just 19 and, for Spain's U-19 squad, has netted 11 times in 13 games. For Castilla last season, he scored 17 times in 37 games. Mourinho is a confirmed fan of the Spanish youngster and has seen limited playing time as a sub.
Morata's Castilla compatriot Jose Luis Mato, better known as Joselu, has also been stunning for the youth academy. After scoring 14 times for Castilla in the 2010/2011 season, he upped his play in the 2011/2012 season scoring 26 times in his 36 appearances. His performances have not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world either, as clubs like West Ham of England have submitted offers for the talented starlet.
For this role, Madrid should look towards its youth for promising young players with plenty of potential.
A New Right Back
Say what you will about Alvaro Arbeloa. He's an okay right back, but his team's accomplishments (including World Cups and La Liga titles) far outweigh his own merit, though. His consistency is appreciated but largely overshadowed by his underwhelming defense and lackluster offense.
Just last season Arbeloa wouldn't have found a place for his club or country with phenom Sergio Ramos on the flanks. But as Ramos has begun to establish himself as one of the world's premier center backs, Arbeloa has found a home.
Looking at Real Madrid's starting back-line (Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos, Arbeloa) it is evident who the weakest link is. Pepe and Ramos make up one of the world's best center-half pairs, and Marcelo is likely the world's best young left back. Arbeloa is totally outclassed.
Many have pointed out how important it is for Real Madrid to sign a right back, but not much has come by in the way of rumors.
Inter's own Maicon has recently been connected with his old manager (per Metro), but that signing would still leave plenty to be desired. Maicon is well past his prime, turning 31 this month. His age also counts against him considering how young this Real Madrid team is and how focused the management seems to be on young stars for a sustainable future. Maicon's signing would work well for at most two seasons before age finally overwhelms the Brazilian.
Better signings are out there. Ajax right back Gregory van der Wiel has been brilliant for his club, and at 24 years of age, he still has good years in front of him. He's a pacy right back who could be as vital to the right side of the attack as Marcelo has been on the left.
His consistency has been called into question though, and the competition in the Dutch league is not on par with that of La Liga or the Champions League. How would he fair for the Spanish giants?
Other rumored options include the likes of Branislov Ivanovic, the Chelsea right back who has fared well for the European Champions (per ESPN). Ivanovic has been resistant to the transfer rumors, and with Jose Bosingwa's departure, Chelsea are also against letting their man leave.
Although not many rumors abound about other players, talents like Lukasz Piszczek of Borussia Dortmund and Theodor Gebre Selassie of Werder Bremen are still out there to be had. The talent isn't deep in the world at right back, but an improvement must be made for Madrid to stay on top in Spain.

Orange Park, FL, United States, 2007/01/05 - Clements Publishing Co. and The Tampa Tribune have formed a partnership for publication of the Greater Tampa Education Guide. The Clements' team will design, research and write the Guide, while the Tribune staff will handle all advertising sales - Rducati.
Parents relocating to the Tampa area will now have greater access to a resource that will help them in determining their childrens educational choices.
Clements Publishing Company and The Tampa Tribune have signed an agreement to publish the third edition of the Greater Tampa Education Guide, which is distributed each year to area real estate relocation professionals, libraries, chambers of commerce, public schools and private schools in Hillsborough, Hernando, Pinellas, Polk and Pasco counties.
Were excited about our alliance with The Tampa Tribune and are pleased to provide Greater Tampa area parents with a resource such as the Greater Tampa Education Guide, said Mike Clements, president of Clements Publishing Company, publisher of the Guide. We see the partnership as a win-win situation because their ad staff will coordinate advertising sales and our staff here will write the stories, conduct all of the research and produce the Guide without placing any additional work on The Tribunes editorial staff.
The Guide provides real estate relocation professionals a resource that helps them answer the No. 1 question parents ask when moving to a new area: How are the local schools? and What choices do I have for my kids in terms of education?
The Greater Tampa Education Guide provides a comprehensive look at public school districts in Hillsborough, Hernando, Pinellas, Polk and Pasco counties and includes such indicators as dropout rates, graduation rates and school district annual budgets, said Bruce Faulmann Tampa Tribune Vice President of Advertising and Marketing. The Greater Tampa Education Guide gives our readers an excellent resource they can use to make informed decisions about public and private education.
The Guide includes lists of area private schools and details the diverse programs they offer in each county. Another section of the Guide includes listings of public libraries, post-secondary schools, and colleges and universities.
The Guide also helps parents understand how schools are graded by the Florida Dept. of Education and explains various standardized tests, such as the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.
We pay great attention to the details involved with the FCAT in order to provide parents with a user-friendly format where they can review FCAT scores, Clements said. Each year, we receive numerous comments from thankful readers who tell us, Now FCAT makes sense.

I'M ONLY 4 WKS POSTOP w/CC. If possible, I would rate this CC a 6-7 on the Baker Scale. Extremely painful, but always figured from being placed under the muscle, also had a lift.
For the past 4 wks I've told my PS the right was diff-very swollen/more painful. As always he says "give it time, it'll be fine. Now he wants me to start lifting weights...adding more pain! He's not really concerned with massaging. Another concern, lymph nodes in armpits are nearly 1" big. Can this be related to CC?
Do I need further surgery?

The roots of the iconography of Liberty can be found in the Roman Republic (510-44 B.C.), where Liberty was envisioned as a Goddess. She underwent a resurgence in the 16th and 17th centuries, when neoclassical artists bonded the iconography of Greek and Roman divinities with contemporary abstract ideas, such as Servitude and Concord. But it was not until the late 18th century that the neoclassical image of Liberty became ubiquitous and politically consequential. The neoclassical Liberty is always a female figure, usually partially nude, sometimes wearing the liberty cap (the Phrygian or slave cap of Rome that signified a slave had been freed), bearing the liberty pole, and crushing chains or the crowns of tyrants underfoot. Icons of Liberty were everywhere in the popular consciousness and public images of the Age of Revolutions, especially in France and in the United States. In the nineteenth century, representations of Liberty also flourished, but they multiplied, transformed, and evolved in curious ways. Just as the nineteenth century had to come to terms with the after-effects of revolutionary ardor, so too did nineteenth-century culture find diverging and multiform ways of representing Liberty in post-revolutionary contexts (the most important republican experiments of the nineteenth century happened in France, Great Britain, and the United States; this module's materials are therefore concentrated on these three nation's representations of Liberty).
Transformations of Liberty as an icon are complex in this period. We find a particular tension between pastoral and martial images of Liberty; the difference seems to follow from the artist or writer's sense of the degree to which the goals of Liberty have been achieved or the degree that Liberty is threatened by current political realities. Throughout the nineteenth century, the neoclassical image endured, but often merged with national symbols, such as the French Marianne, the British Britannia, or the Indian Princess or Columbia of the United States. This change reflects the widely-held beliefs of citizens of France, Great Britain, and the United States that each country uniquely expressed a commitment to political liberty in its national character. Dissenters and challengers to such self-affirming national propaganda also used the symbol of Liberty as a rebuke. The icon of Liberty was important to abolitionist rhetoric and visual culture, as it was to British Chartists and other opposition groups bent on political reform. In France, Liberty becomes a symbol of what the nation has lost through its post-revolutionary governance by emperors and monarchs, and when citizens took to the streets, as in the 1830 and 1848 Revolutions, Liberty was depicted as fighting side-by-side with the patriots at the barricades. Those who fought for national liberty for other European proto-nationalities (such as Poland, Italy, and Wales) also employed the figure of Liberty in their cause. Consequently, we find in various nineteenth-century political cartoons and illustrations that the French Empire, Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the British Empire, and the Franco-Prussian Empire all take their turns as the iconic tyrant who threatens Liberty or whose crowns or chains Liberty breaks. The nineteenth-century use of Liberty as an icon testifies to her flexibility-she was claimed by almost all parties and all nations, and transformed for a multiplicity of ends, even though she was honored in reality far less frequently.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Get out of low yielding CDs and bonds, and into high yielding stocks," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Wednesday evening. He said the economy is too fragile for interest rate hikes anytime soon, which makes stocks with dividends the smart choice. Despite the congressional testimony from Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, and the executives from Toyota ( TM), Cramer said the most important news of the day came from Dollar Tree ( DLTR), whose strong earnings signaled that the American consumer is still too stretched for interest rates hikes any time soon. With Dollar Tree firing on all cylinders, Cramer said Treehouse Foods ( THS)remains his favorite trade-down play. Treehouse is up 12% since last featured on Dec. 21, and Cramer said the stock is still heading higher. Cramer said low interest rates also make high-yielding dividend stocks attractive, especially when compared to bank CDs and treasuries which are yielding less than 2%. Cramer said he still likes Home Depot ( HD), a stock which he owns for his charitable trust,

Boeing officials cut ribbon on new delivery center
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- It's been 10 months in the making -- Boeing leaders cut the ribbon on their new delivery center Friday morning.
"Today we come together to celebrate another historic day at Boeing in South Carolina--the completion of the massive expansion project," said Marco Cavazoni, vice president and general manager of final assembly and delivery.
Boeing employees, standing on the tarmac as far as the eye could see, came out to watch the ribbon-cutting.The 58 thousand square foot building stands on what used to be knee-deep swamp land and will serve as the sales and customer service center for the 787 Dreamliner.
"Right now there are only two sites in the world that deliver white body commercial airplanes.{} now you have three," said Jack Jones, vice president and general manager of Boeing South Carolina.Once the planes are complete, they will be parked on a pad next to the building where up to seven of the high-tech aircrafts will wait until the customer picks it up.
"We have 56 customers around the world, represented in just about every continent that will be flying our airplane," Jones said.
Six hundred tons of steel, 2,800 cubic yards of concrete, 42,000 square feet of exterior metal panels and 14,000 square feet of glass went into the building that was started on February 1 of this year.
"We've been a port city by water. Now we're a port city by air.," said state senator Glenn McConnell. "The world is coming here to pick up aircraft."
The facility has seven flight stalls and the first passenger boarding bridges to be used at a Boeing delivery center."This was a swamp and now it's probably the economic centerpiece of South Carolina," said state representative Chip Limehouse.
The South Carolina Final Assembly and Delivery facility will ramp up to produce three 787 Dreamliners per month by the end of 2013.

I don't like the 30% reduction in the lowest brightness level. Yes, I know that the highest brightness level remains unchanged, so I can simply increase my default brightness to match the level I used before I flashed the kernel.
BUT... when the battery level is <10%, the phone automatically reduces the brightness to its lowest level. I know that I can manually reset the brightness again by going to Settings > Display but this is extremely troublesome, and the phone automatically adjusts it back to lowest when the screen goes off.
Can I humbly suggest that this tweak become optional in the next version of the kernel? Many thanks!
