As if to illustrate the point, when we meet up to go record shopping, Harvey can't remember the name of the club he played in San Francisco last night. "Another day, another disco," he shrugs. At Record Surplus on Pico, he speed-fingers through the bins like a mad librarian, pulling selections. He's a connoisseur of important things, like the '60s meditation record in psychedelic packaging he's just found, or the Casio SK-1 keyboard he scavenged last week from the Venice alleyway garbage. A pair of Altec Santiago speakers were another dumpster find. Harvey's still on the prowl for his personal white whale of discarded treasures, one of the large-installation sound systems used in movie theaters during the '40s and '50s. It could happen, though, and he knows how. "Imagine this," he says. "A basketball player decides to buy Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s old house in Beverly Hills. As he goes into the old screening room, he and his interior designer are like, 'We have to get this big ancient crap out of here and put in a state-of-the-art liquid quartz fucking screen, and little speakers that you can't even see, and we're gonna throw all this old stuff in the trash.' What they're doing is throwing away the most beautiful in-home Western Electric or RCA system from the early '20s. And literally, you can find that stuff in the trash. That's why my eyes are always watching the sidewalks."
The weekend after Coachella, the initiated flock to an unmarked warehouse outside of downtown L.A., ready to dance until dawn. At midnight, there's already a line forming. Inside, the softest of softcore Euro porn is projected on the wall, and disco-ball strobe provides fine needles of light in the otherwise browned-out space. The scene on the dance floor feels sweetly democratic: college chicks in vintage prom dresses and too-big heels clutching plastic cups of Bacardi, bespectacled beardos, androgynous waifs with architectural hair. Harvey's presence is heard but not seen; he's tucked in an anonymous corner but hard to make out in the haze. Earlier, he explained why his standard for Sarcastic is so high. "Maybe in another disco or another club where I haven't been before, I can't be fully responsible for every factor," he'd said. "But when it's Sarcastic Disco, I feel personally responsible for the physical, mental and metaphysical welfare of everybody in there. You have everyone's night you're responsible for. You fuck up and people are pissed off. It's on my shoulders and I don't take that lightly." Some people take responsibility for their mortgages or their health; others, for a crowd of anonymous partygoers. The volume starts loud and gets louder around two, when overflow from the shuttering bars arrives en masse. People are smoking and drinking and kissing and dancing, oblivious to the parking tickets, day jobs and bad skin that harshes their daylight hours. Nobody's looking at you here, in the best possible way. Late in the night, a cop car pulls up with flashing yellows, but after a brief powwow with security, drives on by. Sometimes even the law can't argue with good clean fun.

Helping Twig on her quest are her best friend, Greyhawk, and Screech Owl, a shaman who has been banished from the village. Together, they must persuade their people to leave the land of their ancestors and journey to the mysterious Duskland, far from only home they've ever known. Can Twig convince the Elders that she is a true Spirit Dreamer—before it's too late?

"Listen man, it wasn't about them at that time,†Lewis said. "That was about capping off a heck of a legacy for 17 years. I guess the trot around the field was disrespectful, too? No. It wasn't even about them. The game was over. I didn't go over to their sideline and make some big issue about that.

The next Coventry recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor was Archibald Malbourne who was 22 when he enlisted as a Private in Battery C, 1st Regiment RI Light Artillery. He was born on May 3, 1840, in West Greenwich, the son of John and Huldah Malbourne. Sometimes the spelling of his last name was changed to Malbone or Molbone
Malbourne was from Coventry when he was enlisted on August 13, 1862, by Major Sanford in Providence and was transferred from Battery C on orders dated December 23, 1864, to Battery G, 1st Regiment RI Light Artillery where he was promoted from Corporal to Sergeant.
Some of the battles he was involved in besides the Battle of Petersburg on April 2, 1865, for which he received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery in the Civil War, were Second Bull Run, Gettysburg, Battle of the Wilderness and Cedar Creek. On June 24, 1865, he mustered out.
In 1870 he was working as a farm laborer in Summit when he married Mary Frances Emerson and had three daughters, Zilpha, Bertha and Mary as well as one son, Israel H. By 1900 he was earning a living as a farmer and a bobbin turner in Scituate.
Malbourne died on February 28, 1912, in Providence and was buried in the Bennett-Gardner section of the Clayville Cemetery in Scituate.
His Citation issued with the Congressional Medal of Honor reads "was one of a detachment of 20 picked artillerymen who voluntarily accompanied an infantry assaulting party and who turned upon the enemy the guns captured in the assault". His medal was issued June 20, 1866, when he was 26 years old.
The three men from Coventry who received their Congressional Medal of Honor for their participation in the siege of Petersburg, VA, shared the same experiences on that day of April 2, 1865, that would change their lives forever.

The autumn leaves that make for beautiful scenery in the Forest Hills-Regent Square Patch area soon become a property owners problem once they hit the ground.
Each of the local municipalities has its own regulations regarding leaf pickup and disposal. Here's what you do in Edgewood, Forest Hills, Swissvale, City of Pittsburgh and Churchill:
Leaf collection is slated to begin as early as next week, Oct. 22-26. Collection is only for leaves, no other yard waste. Leaves should be placed at the curb no sooner than the night before pickup. Here's the schedule:
- Monday—(Short) Race, Washington, Vine and Sanders streets; West Hutchinson, Allenby, East End, Savannah, Trenton and Mifflin avenues; Willow Place; Monongahela Alley; East End Extension.
- Tuesday—Walnut, Dewey Locust, Beech, Elmer, Morris and Hawthorn streets; McKelvey and Maple avenues.
- Wednesday—Linden, Oakview, Lloyd, Westmoreland, Edgewood, East Hutchinson and East Swissvale avenues; Elm, Lehigh, Gordon, LaCrosse, Chestnut and Coal street; and Love Place.
- Friday—West Swissvale, Lincoln, Pennwood and Greendale avenues; Ivy, Harlow, Garland, McKay and Race streets; and Seddon Road.
During the months of October, November and December, Forest Hills residents must rake or otherwise accumulate leaves unbagged and unpackaged at curbside adjacent to their properties for collection by the borough.
Leaves must be separated from other municipal waste generated at houses,
apartments and other residential establishments. In the event residents elect to compost leaf waste, including leaves, it must be done in such a manner so as not to create an odor or nuisance to adjacent properties.
Residents should watch for signs in their neighborhoods announcing the collections.
In Swissvale, the leaf collection runs from Monday through Friday, Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, following the street sweeping schedule. Residents are asked to sweep their leaves into the street, according to the borough website.
The borough requires residents to separate leaf and yard waste from other trash and recyclables.
The Pittsburgh Department of Public Works, Bureau of Environmental Services, will be collecting leaf and yard debris from all city residents in a special collection on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Yard debris should be placed at the normal collection site on Friday, Nov. 9. All yard debris materials will be collected by city refuse/recycling crews and composted.
Residents must bag leaves in paper bags only and place them out at the normal refuse collection site. Bags should not exceed 35 pounds.
Leaves: Leaves in plastic bags will not be accepted. Paper yard debris bags can be purchased at local hardware or department stores.
Tree Branches and Bushes: Cut, bundle and tie branches and bushes in lengths not exceeding 5 feet in length. Tree branch diameter should not exceed four inches.
City crews will not collect dirt, rocks, stones or cement. Yard debris left at the curb by contracted lawn care workers or independent contractors will not be collected by city crews. Yard debris not meeting the collection guidelines also will not be collected.
Anyone with questions is asked to contact Environmental Services at 412-255-2631 or 412-255-2773.
Leaf collection began Monday in Churchill Borough and will continue every Monday through Nov. 19. Leaves only must be placed at the curb in paper, biodegradable bags no sooner than Sunday evening.
Bags can be purchased at the municipal building or Tyke's Shell Station on Greensburg Pike at a cost of $3 for five bags; bags are also available at home improvement stores.

Dominate 'D': Lakewood Ranch High girls soccer defeats Venice
Date: January 30, 2013
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Alex Latham and the rest of the Lakewood Ranch High defense have posted 14 shutouts this season.
For 28 halves, or 1,120 minutes, this season, the junior goalkeeper has fought off every corner kick, header and shot that's come her way. She's recorded 67 saves, having only allowed 12 goals in 23 games.
But Latham's most impressive performance this season came Jan. 26, in the second half of the Lady Mustangs Class 4A-Region 3 semifinal match versus Venice.
Holding onto a 1-0 lead, Venice stepped up its pressure down the stretch. Latham knew it was coming. But, rather than letting the stress get to her, Latham focused on her task — guarding the net and preserving the victory for the Lady Mustangs.
"It's always good to be involved in the game," says Latham, who had three saves. "The other teams always push it the last two minutes, and it's really stressful back there."
After defeating Cape Coral Ida Baker 4-1 in the regional semifinals Jan. 23, the Lady Mustangs prepared to face Venice for the fourth time this season; they defeated the Lady Indians twice, including a 3-0 victory in the district championship, and tied them once, as well.
"In the last practices we had, we were saying that we were playing Venice and we had never played them before. You have to look at it that way because we knew they were going to come after us," says coach Guy Virgilio.
Lakewood took control in the 14th minute when junior forward Delaney Riggins scored the lone goal of the match off a cross from Tyler Gordon.
Riggins, who sat out the entire regular season with torn ligaments in her ankle, returned for the postseason and is making her presence known.
"It's good to be back," says Riggins, who also scored one goal against Venice in the district championship.
Venice stepped up its pressure down the stretch, particularly in the final five minutes, sending another forward into the attack. The Lady Mustangs countered, dropping a midfielder back and playing with only one forward.
"I knew it wasn't going to be as easy of a game as it was the last time," Virgilio says. "These girls were going to come after it, but our defense did a fantastic job."
Once again, wing fullbacks Tatum Young and Hannah Miller, sweeper Juliana Guida and stopper Amanda Baar cleared the outside and controlled the middle to help keep some of the pressure off Latham.
"I think everyone is so solid," Latham says. "They are all individually solid, so as a team we can hold really well. We have two younger fullbacks, and they really pulled through for us."
With the win, Lakewood traveled to Plant City to face the District 9 champion Lady Raiders in the Region 3 finals Jan. 29.
It was the third regional final for Lakewood and its first since 2010 when the Lady Mustangs reached the Final 4.
The winner will advance to the Final 4 Feb. 1.

The Lost World of John Kennedy
The country that elected him, watched him govern and mourned his death was a very different America .
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev seemed impetuous, even unstable, as he shut down the Paris summit in May 1960 after Soviet defenses downed a U-2 spy plane and banged his shoe on his desk at the United Nations. Kennedy's show of weakness and indecision in the Bay of Pigs invasion--when he refused to disapprove a refugee invasion of Castro's Cuba but also refused to give it the military support it needed to succeed--didn't help. Khrushchev bullied him at the June 1961 Vienna summit and threatened to close down allied access to West Berlin, which could have triggered nuclear war. The threat eased when the Communists built the Berlin Wall in August 1961. But when the Soviets secretly shipped nuclear missiles to Cuba in 1962, Kennedy felt he must respond and in October declared a "quarantine" of the island. After days of tension, in which the superpowers came closer to nuclear war than at any other time before or since, Khrushchev ordered ships containing Soviet warheads to turn back in return for secret promises to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey and a renunciation of plans to invade Cuba. In June 1963, in a speech at American University, Kennedy proclaimed a new era of what would come to be known as detente.
The sense of relief was audible in the popular culture. Movies like Fail Safe and Seven Days in May, which took seriously the possibility of nuclear war and military crisis (just as Kennedy himself did), were replaced within a few years by The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, which took them not seriously at all.
The intervention issue. Kennedy's America remembered that Americans had fought to save Korea from Communists and rued that it had lost China to them. Kennedy himself was fascinated by guerrilla warfare; he created the Green Berets and prepared for brush-fire wars to prevent Communist advance. The president told reporter James Reston that the nation had to demonstrate its firmness after the Vienna summit and the only place to do it was Vietnam. He sent 15,000 troops to South Vietnam. Then, over an August weekend in 1963, his government set into motion the October coup against Ngo Dinh Diem that killed Diem and made South Vietnam an American responsibility. Many Kennedy admirers have argued that he would have withdrawn U.S. forces after the 1964 election, but little in his words or deeds supports that: Kennedy was the first hawk, not the first dove.
The civil rights issue. Back home, Kennedy, like most Americans, disliked the system of legally enforced racial segregation in the South. But he wanted to change it slowly and regarded civil rights efforts like the freedom rides of the early 1960s as a political nuisance. He was acutely conscious that no Democrat had been elected without Southern electoral votes, and he calculated, correctly, that strong support of civil rights would cost him the Deep South. So he tried to accommodate governors of those states when federal courts ordered them to desegregate public universities; he met Martin Luther King Jr. only secretly at the White House, and he never considered appearing at the March on Washington in August 1963. For years, he delayed signing a promised order desegregating public-housing units.
But like no previous president, Kennedy was alert to the impact of the new medium of television. For the first time, technology was allowing TV to show pictures of events in every corner of the nation the day they occurred. So, in May 1963, most Americans found themselves watching the police dogs and fire hoses Police Commissioner Bull Connor of Birmingham, Ala., was sending against King's peaceful civil rights demonstrators. Segregation was no longer distant and abstract; it was vivid, close at hand and unacceptably brutal. Kennedy was pressed to support a civil rights bill by Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who advised it could pass Congress and would be accepted in the South, and Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who said it was morally necessary. The president agreed. He went on television, ad-libbing in the rocking chair he used for his bad back. The principle in question, he declared, "is as old as the Scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution."

The questions began in November 2010, when Detroit Cass Tech drilled Macomb Dakota, 31-19, in the Division 1 regional final and then narrowly lost to eventual champ Lake Orion, 24-21, in the semifinals.
Could a Detroit Public School League team win a title in the state's largest division?
Detroit King captured the 2007 Division 2 championship, but the PSL was 0-for-36 playoff years when it came to playing with the big boys.
Cass began last season's playoffs by soundly beating Livonia Churchill and Dearborn Fordson before knocking off Warren De La Salle and Utica Eisenhower in close games, then thrashing Novi Detroit Catholic Central, 49-13, in the title game.
The Technicians washed away years of stereotypes with their resounding victory, most notably that a PSL team couldn't hang with the big boys in the trenches.
Cass coach Thomas Wilcher said he believes the Detroit Police Athletic League's change to allow bigger kids to play on the offensive and defensive lines, regardless of their weight, means the world to PSL teams. This applies especially to this Cass team, which features 6-foot-5, 305-pound David Dawson; 6-6, 285-pound Dennis Finley, and 6-2, 290-pound Kenton Gibbs; who will have to provide blocking for inexperienced running backs.
"I think it was the fact that the suburbs had an advantage because their larger kids had an opportunity to play football at an earlier age than our larger kids did," Wilcher said. "It will get more competitive as the years go on, and it will start leveling off pretty soon."
PSL teams have always had an edge when it comes to running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs. But they had no chance to win a game that came down to a slugfest in the trenches.
"We had better skill players, but they always had better line play than we did," Wilcher said. "Our bigger kids wanted to play basketball because that was the first sport they were allowed to play. Now those bigger kids are going to have an opportunity to play football. You go down South, all the big kids want to play football."
It seems everyone wants to play at Cass. A year ago Cass sent four players to the Big Ten and several to other Division I schools. Already the Technicians have 12 players, regardless of class, with Division I offers.
But having so many college-bound players can pose problems. Cass was 6-3 last year in the regular season.
"It's more or less the kids who have the problems with what the other one gets versus what he's getting," Wilcher said. "He feels he should be treated equal, but it's not up to the high school coaches to make the decisions. It's up to the college coaches. It's up to the high school coaches to put them in positions to make them be successful."
If he does that, a PSL team like Cass might win another state title, if it can fix one little area.
"All we have to do is get that kicking game better, and we'll catch up in all areas," Wilcher said. "Once we get the special teams going, get the kickers in, it will be a snap. It will be easy. It will make it easier to be competitive because we'll have a better foundation in more areas."

CARNEY, Okla. —
Last week the Carney Lady Bulldogs got to enjoy the comforts of home when they hosted A Class B district championship. On Thursday, Carney will get to host regionals in its own backyard as Frontier, New Lima and Bowlegs are visiting.
Carney (16-7) opens at noon with No. 15 Bowlegs (17-11) and will either face the winner or loser of Frontier (7-20) and No. 6 New Lima (20-7). Carney coach Lindsey Freeman said it's a neat deal for his team to be home.
"This is what we were hoping for," Freeman said. "We matchup well with either team and I think if we come out and play at all we have a chance at winning it."
Frontier coach Erron Kauk said he likes his team's chances as well, as it's fresh from winning regionals, outscoring opponents 27-1.
"We wish we were hosting but weren't ranked well enough to do that," Kauk said. "I feel good about how we are playing and think we have a good chance to go back to state for a fifth year in a row."
None of the teams have faced each other. The winners of the first round match play at 6 p.m. to earn a spot in the regional finals, which will start at 2 p.m. Friday. The losers will play to keep their season alive at 4 p.m. The winner of that game will play the loser of the 6 p.m. game at noon on Friday. The decisive game will be at 4 p.m.
The Glencoe Panthers (20-8) will have their hands full as they face Dale, Preston and Roff in Class A baseball regionals at Dale on Friday.
Glencoe opens at 2 p.m. with No. 2 Dale (23-4). The winner will face the winner of No. 4 Roff (20-7) and No. 14 Preston (22-5) at 6 p.m. with that winner advancing to state. The losers play each other at 2 p.m. Saturday. Glencoe lost to Roff in last spring's Class A state tournament.

Insiders think Doug Horne will likely make a decision within the next week not to pursue a race for governor. Horne was seen as a deep-pocket possibility for a Democratic candidacy against a large Republican field that includes Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam.
Horne has family and business obligations, friends say, and he is also heavily involved in the budget and administrative problems at the University of Tennessee. Horne is a UT grad who serves on the Board of Trustees.
With the pass taken by Congressman Lincoln Davis, the party is without a high-profile candidate. Former state Rep. Kim McMillan is running, as is Nashville millionaire and unknown businessman Ward Camack.

Nandini Sundar on her blog:
I am sick to death of TV panel discussions which ask whether human rights activists are soft on the Maoists, romanticise the Maoists and so on. Why doesn't someone ask if our honourable politicians and security experts are soft on police torture and extra judicial killings?
Television is not interested in a serious discussion – all they want are whipping boys. The sight of Arnab Goswami mocking Prof. Haragopal for giving an "academic analysis" was especially nauseating, compounded by his showing off about "Emily Durkheim" (sic!). Why bother to have a panel at all, if only hysterical calls for the army to be sent in to wipe out the Maoists count as 'analysis', and every other viewpoint is seen as biased?
The media's vocabulary is also very limited. I remember a particular excruciating interview with Binayak Sen where he said he "decried" violence and the anchor repeatedly asked him if he "condemned" it. As far as I know, the two words mean roughly the same thing. Nowadays, even before the media asks me, I start shouting "I condemn, I condemn." I wake up in my sleep shouting "I condemn." I am scared to use other words to describe complex emotions, because the media is unable to understand anything else. More:

Judge Finds California Death Penalty Unconstitutional, Pundits React
By Teresa Welsh |
CIA Director David Petraeus resigned Friday after confessing to an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Petraeus was a former four-star general and top commander in Iraq and Afghanistan before he retired to lead the CIA in September 2011. Petraeus has been married for 37 years, and in a letter to CIA staff described his behavior as "unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."
The affair apparently began after the general had left the military, where under regulations adultery can be a crime. The relationship reportedly began about two months after Petraeus had started his position at the CIA, while she spent extensive time with the general conducting research for her book, All In: The Education of General David Petraeus. She is also married.
The FBI uncovered the affair late in the summer after another woman, Jill Kelley, reported receiving "harassing" E-mails from Broadwell. High level FBI and Justice Department officials were informed, but Congress was not notified of any investigation. Sen. Diane Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the committee should have been informed, as an FBI investigation of the CIA director "could have had an effect on national security." An affair at the CIA is not a crime, but can be a security issue because it could make an agency employee vulnerable to blackmail.
Petraeus's resignation came the week before he was scheduled to testify before Congress regarding the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans in September. Feinstein said she still expects the former director to testify, and that she will use a subpoena if necessary.
CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell will serve as acting director, and may be named permanently to the position.
Should Petraeus have resigned as CIA director? Here is the Debate Club's take:
Yes – Petraeus Resignation Will Help the Country, the CIA, and the Army
Lawrence J. Korb Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress
Yes – David Petraeus Must Take Care of His Family First
Mieke Eoyang Director of Third Way's National Security Program
Yes – No One Comes Out of the Petraeus Affair Looking Good
Heather Hurlburt Executive Director of the National Security Network
Yes – The CIA Director Must Keep a Low Profile
Robert Nolan Editor at the Foreign Policy Association
Yes – Petraeus Should Have Tempered His Romantic Urges
Jamie Chandler Political Scientist at Hunter College

Condo Line
How can condo owners find a competent management firm?
Q: We are a small condominium and have been having a problem in finding a competent management company. We have been asking other condominiums for references but no one wants to recommend theirs either. We have changed management companies three times in the last three years.
Condo Line
Confusion over reserve funds and insurance deductibles
Q: Our condominium has a line item in the budget for an insurance deductible of $5,000. Our actual deductible is $112,000 per building, and we have three buildings. Each year the amount is rolled over to the general fund as surplus because it has not been needed for several years.

Unhappy with management firm
Q: As an owner not on the board of my homeowners association, I have taken time to research the community association managers' (CAM) educational requirements. The educational hours required are very small compared to other professionals that are licensed real estate agents.
Condo Line
Can homeowners association donate to charities?
Q: I live in a homeowners association that is one of a number of associations separately run with individual boards, all under the umbrella of a master association. The master association takes care of streets, sidewalks, entry gates, security and other mutually shared expenses. The master association includes a representative from each individual association.

How can we check whether expenditures are proper?
Q: I live in a developer-controlled homeowner association. I've noted on the financial reports certain expenses that I cannot confirm. I've asked questions in our meetings and have sent emails to the association manager concerning my concerns. There has been no response to my question or the answers have been unsatisfied.

Condo Line: Board wants to 'invest' our money
Q: Our board asked our lawyer to write up a draft of a proposed change to our depository requirements in our bylaws. In essence it deletes the word "Bank" and replaces it with the words "Financial Institution" — giving the latitude to our board to place our money in investments such as bonds, which is already being done.

Director blindsides the condo board
Q: I am a director on a condominium board. One director has taken it upon herself to selectively enforce rules. She has had the management company send out letters stating it is from the entire board of directors.

GPs slow to refer older women with ovarian cancer
GPs are less likely to refer older women with suspected ovarian cancer for investigation compared with younger women patients, a study suggests.
Analysis of electronic patient records found that 66% of women aged over 70 had been referred to a specialist, compared with 82% of women under 55.
It also took longer for GPs to refer elderly patients for further tests.
Survival rates for cancer in the UK are among the lowest in Europe, particularly for older people.
The research, published in the British Journal of Cancer, suggests that age has an impact on how GPs manage women with ovarian cancer.
Researchers at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School studied patient records during the period 2002 to 2006.
They found that women aged between 45 and 69 years tended to be referred for gynaecological investigation within ten weeks of coming to their GP with symptoms. For women aged 75 to 79 years, the figure rose to 20 weeks.
"Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare disease but, as with all cancers, early diagnosis is important for improving the chances of successful treatment," said Rosemary Tate, lead author of the study.
Rates of diagnoses
The study also compared the rates of recorded diagnoses of ovarian cancer in the GPs' database with those in the UK cancer registries and found they were much lower.
These differences in rates were much larger for patients over 60 years old.
Researchers say this may be because GPs are less likely to record cancer diagnoses in older people if they have other serious illnesses. They may also be less motivated to investigate elderly patients for other problems first.
Peter Reynolds, chief executive of Ovarian Cancer Action, said it was unacceptable if older women were experiencing delays in referral.
"Women's chances of surviving ovarian cancer greatly improve if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage, so prompt referral by GPs could play a significant role in improving the UK's poor survival rates for ovarian cancer," he said.
Sara Hiom, director of health information at Cancer Research UK, echoed his comments: "Ovarian cancer is more common in older women, with four out of five cases in women over 50, so it's concerning if these older women are indeed less likely to be investigated."
The charity Target Ovarian Cancer said it was launching this week an online GP ovarian cancer learning tool, to help GPs make quicker and more accurate referrals.

The "flying imams' " federal lawsuit, filed this week in Minneapolis, has made headlines around the country. The imams are demanding unspecified damages from US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission, both with deep pockets.
The imams' lawsuit, however, asserts that US Airways and the MAC acted solely out of religious and ethnic discrimination. It includes 17 separate counts.
The imams engaged in a variety of suspicious behaviors while boarding a US Airways flight, according to the airport police report. Some prayed loudly in the gate area, spoke angrily about the United States and Saddam, switched seats and sat in the 9/11 hijackers' configuration, and unnecessarily requested seatbelt extenders that could be used as weapons, according to witness reports and US Airways spokeswoman Andrea Rader.After extensive consultations, the pilot asked authorities to remove the imams for questioning, which they did, releasing them later that day.
Their lawsuit appears to be the latest component in a national campaign to intimidate airlines and government agencies from acting prudently to ensure passenger safety. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is advising the imams, is also calling for congressional hearings and promoting federal legislation to "end racial profiling" in air travel. If the legislation passes, airport personnel who disproportionately question passengers who are Muslim or of Middle Eastern origin could be subject to sanctions.
But the most alarming aspect of the imams' suit is buried in paragraph 21 of their complaint. It describes "John Doe" defendants whose identity the imams' attorneys are still investigating. It reads: "Defendants 'John Does' were passengers ... who contacted U.S. Airways to report the alleged 'suspicious' behavior of Plaintiffs' performing their prayer at the airport terminal."Paragraph 22 adds: "Plaintiffs will seek leave to amend this Complaint to allege true names, capacities, and circumstances supporting [these defendants'] liability ... at such time as Plaintiffs ascertain the same."In plain English, the imams plan to sue the "John Does," too.Who are these unnamed culprits? The complaint describes them as "an older couple who was sitting [near the imams] and purposely turn[ed] around to watch" as they prayed. "The gentleman ('John Doe') in the couple ... picked up his cellular phone and made a phone call while watching the Plaintiffs pray," then "moved to a corner" and "kept talking into his cellular phone."
does anyone want to bet that these passengers wouldn't end up as victims of "lone wolves" experiencing "Sudden Jihadi Syndrome"?

How Do I Make IP Multicast Work With My Firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
IP multicast is a means of getting IP traffic from one host to a set of hosts without using broadcasting; that is, instead of every host getting the traffic, only those that want it will get it, without each having to maintain a separate connection to the server. IP unicast is where one host talks to another, multicast is where one host talks to a set of hosts, and broadcast is where one host talks to all hosts.
How do IP multicast tunnels work?The MBONE FAQ
IP multicast packets are encapsulated for transmission through tunnels, so that they look like normal unicast datagrams to intervening routers and subnets. A multicast router that wants to send a multicast packet across a tunnel will prepend another IP header, set the destination address in the new header to be the unicast address of the multicast router at the other end of the tunnel, and set the IP protocol field in the new header to be 4 (which means the next protocol is IP).
How does IP-Multicast work?Vypress Messenger FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
IP-Multicast works by enabling network systems to join a multicast group that is identified by a multicast address. Multicast addresses are in the range of 188.8.131.52 to 22.214.171.124. Vypress Messenger and Vypress Auvis can join to an unlimited number of multicast groups. For example, when a desktop user joins the address, 188.8.131.52, all of the messages sent to that address from any other system will be received.
Can the Multicast IP address used by eCopy ShareScan OP be changed?Support: Frequently Asked Questions
In eCopy ShareScan OP version 1.0, the Multicast IP information is hard-coded and cannot be changed. In eCopy ShareScan OP 1.1, there are alternative methods to discover MEAP-enabled devices. See the FAQ for discovering MEAP-enabled devices.
Why don't you use IP Multicast?Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
IP Multicast is an extension of the Internet Protocol, the protocol that make the Internet work. It supports multicast at a low-level protocol and is, in theory, more efficient than End-host Multicast. However, IP Multicast is not widely available. In fact, the original version of Jungle Monkey used IP Multicast, but we abondoned it because we couldn't find any users who had it.
Where can I get the IP multicast software and mrouted program?The MBONE FAQ
The IP multicast software is available by anonymous FTP from the vmtp-ip directory on host gregorio.stanford.edu. Here's a snapshot of the files: ipmulti-pmax31c.tar ipmulti-sunos41x.tar.Z Binaries & patches for SunOS 4.1.1,2,3 ipmulticast-ultrix4.1.patch ipmulticast-ultrix4.2a-binary.tar ipmulticast-ultrix4.2a.patch ipmulticast.README [** Warning: out of date **] ipmulticast.tar.Z Sources for BSD You don't need kernel sources to add multicast support.
I'm using aMSN behind a firewall, or using IP-Masquerade. Sending files won't work, can I fix it?Frequently Asked Questions - AMSN

How do I make SSL work through the firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
SSL is a protocol that allows secure connections across the Internet. Typically, SSL is used to protect HTTP traffic. However, other protocols (such as telnet) can run atop SSL. Enabling SSL through your firewall can be done the same way that you would allow HTTP traffic, if it's HTTP that you're using SSL to secure, which is usually true. The only difference is that instead of using something that will simply relay HTTP, you'll need something that can tunnel SSL.
How do I make DNS work with a firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
Some organizations want to hide DNS names from the outside. Many experts don't think hiding DNS names is worthwhile, but if site/corporate policy mandates hiding domain names, this is one approach that is known to work. Another reason you may have to hide domain names is if you have a non-standard addressing scheme on your internal network. In that case, you have no choice but to hide those addresses.
How do I make FTP work through my firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, making FTP work through the firewall is done either using a proxy server such as the firewall toolkit's ftp-gw or by permitting incoming connections to the network at a restricted port range, and otherwise restricting incoming connections using something like ''established'' screening rules. The FTP client is then modified to bind the data port to a port within that range. This entails being able to modify the FTP client application on internal hosts.
How do I make Telnet work through my firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
Telnet is generally supported either by using an application proxy such as the firewall toolkit's tn-gw, or by simply configuring a router to permit outgoing connections using something like the ''established'' screening rules. Application proxies could be in the form of a standalone proxy running on the bastion host, or in the form of a SOCKS server and a modified client.
How do I make RealAudio work through my firewall?Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked Questions
RealNetworks maintains some information about how to get RealAudio working through your firewall7. It would be unwise to make any changes to your firewall without understanding what the changes will do, exactly, and knowing what risks the new changes will bring with them.
My school or work firewall blocks sites like MySpace.com. Can Hide My IP help me?Hide-My-IP.Com - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Some schools, libraries, cyber cafés, and work places block access to many websites. Hide My IP allows you to "tunnel" right through the network firewall you are behind so you can access any website that you have been blocked from.
What is Multicast?Multicast technical trial: FAQ
Multicast is an alternative way of delivering video and radio channels at a much higher quality. It's a smarter way of serving large numbers of people. This means more live channels will be available for popular events like the Olympics.
What if I have a firewall? How would it work?Access Point Products: VoicePoint Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: You have multiple approaches for delivering IP telephony while keeping the firewall intact. The solution operates outside of the firewall and can utilize a Network Address Translation device (NAT) that only allows voice calls to the specific IP addresses through the firewall.
Will it work through a firewall?PC Diagnostics, Diagnostic Software, Hardware, Download Util...
Yes. A port needs to be open through the firewall of course, and that port can be specified in the Client configuration.
Will it work behind a firewall?
Sort of. There is basic provision for a simple web proxy, which will allow you to query the Gnutella and hotline search engines, but most firewalls will not allow gnutella, hotline or OpenNapster connections. Enable the following ports for best results. Carracho downloads are not possible, only searching. I will add it if someone figures out the download protocol!

- Punch down dough. Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and knead for 4 minutes or until the bubbles are out of the bread. Divide dough into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place rolls onto 2 greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Bake rolls at 400 degrees F for 55 minutes or until the rolls are brown and sound hollow when the tops are tapped. Remove rolls from sheets and let cool on rack.

Baylor remains the top choice in The Associated Press women's basketball poll while Michigan earns its first appearance in the Top 25 in a decade.
The Lady Bears received 34 first place votes after cruising to easy wins over Iowa State and Kansas and now own the longest active conference winning streak, winning 32 straight Big 12 games.
Notre Dame, UConn, Duke and Kentucky round out the first five. The Wildcats switched places with Stanford, which had its 81-game conference winning streak end with a loss to No. 7 California on Sunday. Kentucky and Stanford were the only two changes in the first 16 teams in the Top 25.
Michigan enters the poll at No. 25. It's the first time the Wolverines are ranked since Dec. 23, 2002. They will play at Northwestern on Thursday.
Miami, which lost to both Maryland and Florida State, dropped out.

Educational segregation and the gender wage gap in Greece
Livanos, Ilias and Pouliakas, Konstantinos. (2012) Educational segregation and the gender wage gap in Greece. Journal of Economic Studies, Vol.39 (No.5). pp. 554-575. ISSN 1758-7387

Purpose To investigate the extent to which differences in the subject of degree studied by male and female university graduates contributes to the gender pay gap in Greece, an EU country with historically large gender discrepancies in earnings and occupational segregation. In addition, to explore the reasons underlying the distinct educational choices of men and women, with particular emphasis on the role of wage uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach Using micro-data from the Greek Labour Force Survey (LFS), Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions are employed to detect the extent to which gender differences in the type of degree studied can explain the male-female pay gap. 'Risk-augmented earnings functions' are also used to examine the differential wage premiums offered to men and women in Greece in response to the uncertainty associated with different fields of study. Findings It is found that the subjects in which women are relatively over-represented (e.g. Education, Humanities) are also those with the lowest wage returns. Gender differences in the type of degree studied can therefore explain an additional 8.4% of the male-female pay gap in Greece. A potential reason for distinct gender educational choices is that women opt for less uncertain educations that consequently command lower wage premiums in the job market. Practical Implications The findings suggest that the promotion of gender equality in Greece should pay closer attention to removing informal barriers to entry for women in educational fields traditionally chosen by men (e.g. more effective careers advice, work-experience placements, matching of young girls with professional 'mentors'). Originality/value The study is the first to investigate the contribution of individual's field of study to the gender wage gap in Greece. In addition, it includes the first-ever estimations of 'risk-augmented earnings equations' for that country.

Someone falsely identifying himself as an employee of NeighborWorks Columbus hijacked the agencys phone system over the weekend and stole at least $100,000 from its main SunTrust bank account.
The person also may have received personal and financial information from clients who contacted the organization by phone for home-buyer and foreclosure counseling. As the story unfolded Monday, it was unclear how much damage was done.
Cathy Williams, the organizations president and CEO, said the NeighborWorks phone system was hijacked around 5:09 p.m. Thursday, just before the office closed for the weekend. A stranger called the organizations service provider, identified himself as a staff member, asked for the calls to be forwarded to a number with a 678 area code which is metro Atlanta and the service provider complied.
Williams said the phone number was used to authorize checks from the agencys operating account. Someone would write a check and go to the bank. When the clerk called the phone number on the check for authorization, someone would answer NeighborWorks Columbus, then give the bank permission to cash the check.
She said the name used was David Fox, the name of an employee, but she believes it was an outside job done by someone who got Foxs name from the Internet.
When you Google our phone number, David Foxs name comes up, she said. So, this is out-and-out fraud and its whats called a hijacked account. They hijacked our account and at the same time they hijacked our phone so they could authorize the checks.
Williams said the agency found out about the fraud when it got a call from a Wells Fargo bank in Norcross, Ga., around 4 p.m. Monday, reporting that someone had tried to cash a check for $400 to $600. She said the person got a copy of a check and used it to reproduce checks and forge signatures.
Since learning of the fraud Monday afternoon, all of the organizations bank accounts have been flagged.
We honestly are just putting this together, she said. So, we dont know how bad it is. I have copies of about six checks that are about 100 grand right now. Of course, we have no idea how many other checks are out there. So weve had to close the account.
Williams said the agency is also concerned about clients who called the office over the weekend, thinking they were talking to a NeighborWorks counselor. Many of those clients may have given out numbers for credit cards, debit cards and checking accounts, as well as social security numbers. Williams said anyone who called the office while the phones were hijacked should call the office immediately at 706-324-4663.
If anybody called NeighborWorks from Thursday evening to Monday morning, they need to contact us again, Williams said. We need to find out what information they gave out so they can get some protections on their personal data as well as their identity. We also need to know what they heard and what they were told. That might help us narrow down what happened. Because we dont know motives yet. We dont even know where the person or persons are located.
Williams said all the organizations phones are back under control, and the service provider put in place security measures Monday to protect future calls. Meanwhile, she hopes that the hijacker will be found soon.
It wasnt necessarily a high-tech hijacking, but it was sophisticated and aggressive, she said. Somebody had a staff members name, knew who our service provider was, knew that we were going to end business at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday and was absolutely intentionally taking our phone number.
Williams said she and her staff noticed the problem Monday after the office opened at 7:30 a.m. She said Mondays are usually busy because the office is closed on Fridays. But on Monday, no calls were coming in. So she called the organizations service provider to find out what was wrong.
The service provider, which Williams would not identify, agreed to dispatch a technician, Williams said. While she waited for the technician to arrive, Williams used her cell phone to call one of the NeighborWorks numbers. Someone answered the phone and said, NeighborWorks. But none of the extensions on the office phone system lit up.
Williams then asked the person on the line, What number did this roll over to? And the man said, Excuse me?
She asked, Is this NeighborWorks Columbus? And the person, said, Yeah.
But when she asked, Who is this? the person hung up.
For me, thats when I realized something was wrong, very wrong, Williams said.
At about the same time, the service providers technician showed up, but when Williams met him in the reception room, he was getting ready to leave.
Williams asked why he was leaving and he said the service call had been cancelled. Someone had called and told the service provider that the issue had already been resolved and the organization no longer needed a technician. The technician called the service provider and found out about the Thursday request to forward the calls.
Williams said NeighborWorks filed a police report Monday and is continuing with its own investigation.
We hope that by the close of business today our service provider will be able to give us a list of all the numbers that tried to call us, Williams said. And were going to be calling (clients), if we have to work until midnight, trying to find out what they might have said and what they might have heard to perhaps help the fraud department at our service provider, as well as police department, narrow down who this might have been.
Williams said clients must be careful in the future not to give sensitive information over the phone.
NeighborWorks Columbus would never take personal information over the phone or Internet, she said. Dont ever give that information over the phone because you clearly dont know who youre talking to.

Trees are needed along Macungie's Main Street.
But first, the borough needs people who will volunteer to research which trees would be the best to replace ones that have recently had to be removed.
Council member Chris Becker asked if there could be a portion of the borough's 2013 budget dedicated to purchasing new trees before asking people to step up to volunteer.
But he had already been looking, he said, and he's partial to a maple tree called the "Queen Elizabeth."
The U.S. Forest Service has a list of suggested trees for urban forestry, said Borough Manager Chris Boehm.
Additionally, there is grant money available for replacing a community's shade trees.
Anyone interested in volunteering for Macungie's Shade Tree Commission should contact Borough Hall at 610-966-2503.

Delicious combination of flavors. I've also made this by using crumbled feta and mixing the ingredients with whipped cream cheese. This makes it more of a dip and tones down the intensity of the feta flavor.
Had something similiar to this at a party and loved it. Found this recipe and served it at a wine and cheese party of my own and it was a BIG HIT! Served this with a chardonnay.
Although it sounds unusual, this recipe was terrific!! I had some leftover feta cheese that I wanted to use up. Not only was it delicious, it is soo easy to put together.I used it with baked pita bread wedges My husband and I absolutely loved it. I will definitely use this again for company!! Thank you Ann:)
