The Bricklayers Arms, or rather just the Brickies as it is affectionately referred to by the locals, was the perfect way for a Northern Lad to start a Saturday London BA Pub Crawl.
From the Putney Bridge Tube a brisk walk over the Bridge soon has you on the Southside. Take an immediate right at the end of the Bridge onto Lower Richmond Road, turn left opposite the Thai Square Restaurant on your right. A short walk up the gently inclined Waterman Street & in the far left hand corner is the Brickies.
Classic small Pub exterior has a low sloping tiled roof which is bedecked with a myriad of at least four separate chimney stacks & numerous fancy Terracotta smoke pots. The outside brickwork is washed with cream colored paint. Two old style sash windows on the 2nd floor are complemented by a proudly situated dark green Timothy Taylors Championship Beers sign which matches the windows in size & outshines them. The ground floor is topped with a sign that runs the width of the Pub with the words The Bricklayers Arms set in a tall TimesNewRoman font & in the Taylors cream color set against a dark red background. At either end of this sign the words Free House appear below the Taylors Sheaf, this seems Oxy-Moronic; I am sure it will have many wondering if this is indeed a real Free House or a much needed but guised Taylors outpost, it did for me. An old style Street Lamp to the right complements the overall looks.
The entrance sits amidst large windows either side, this allows the dust laden air inside to light up like golden wonder dust. The deep blue cigarette smoke to impart a cleanly defined yet evaporating trail of Carcinogenic poison that clings to the low ceilings. Has an immediate feeling of undisturbed tranquility, the creaky uneven wooden floors tap&click to the sound of hard soled shoes. The gentle murmur of merrie banter & clinking glasses punctuated by laughter & the sound of working cash tills invoked a warm welcome, whilst the well worn wooden fittings, aged open fire place, mismatched wobbly wooden tables & aged stools with their thinning dark crushed velvet coverings all contributed to a period Victorian boozer with Georgian tones. If youre lucky, you may be able to bag the pair of armchairs by the Fireplace, their dark green stretched threadbare pattern punctuated by the peeping lining & stuffed insides. The bare brick walls are partially lined with wooden plank paneling in places with hanging pictures & framed articles about the Brickies all around.
The bar is a wooden clad affair that sits in the middle of the floor very close to the entrance, making it hard to get in at times as it is surrounded on three sides by punters & furniture which is wedged into the cramped frontage. A room at the back offers a little more space & some refined comfort but you may have to fight for space in here, or as the masses of assembling Fulham FC fans did, just take your Pint out onto the street & drink there, how civilized. It seems like the Brickies is a local stop off for the Fulham Fans before home games.
The beer range alone will make Northerners weak at the knees; this is the only place in London to experience the full range of Timothy Taylors beers. I must qualify full TT aficionados will ask where the Porter is; well it seems that the overtly sweet Porter is now a rare seasonal or even infrequent offering from Taylors, as such, the full range refers to the current year round line-up of: Golden Best, Dark Mild, Best Bitter, Landlord & Ram Tam. They are all proudly served from a line of five Angram Beer Engines which look resplendent with their official TT dark green & gold logo handles set in & amongst two (seemingly original) black cast iron columns on the bar which appear to support the ceiling. It should be noted to Men of the North that all the Cask Taylors is served sans sparkler .oh well, you cant have everything, even in London it seems. The quality of the Taylors was excellent, thankfully a Diacetyl free zone & so refreshing to sample some well kept Northern beers.
In addition to the 5 Taylors beers, a Beer Engine sits just around the corner to the left of the primary Handpumps. On my visit it was serving a Guest Beer called Quad Hop from the Dowton Brewery. Bottled beer selection is limited, but they had the once-a-year Timothy Taylor Havercake Ale & Landlord also. All up, quite the impressive range from the Norths finest brewer of Pale Ales & arguably one of Englands Premier Quality Independent Brewers.
Just (sic) the full range of Timothy Taylors alone makes this a must do stop, but this is accentuated by the warm down to Earth feel, well worn, backstreet local atmosphere & some excellent, very attentive & genuinely warm Service. I will be back in London for a week in Sept. 2007, thanks to the smoking ban which will be in full affect at that time; Ill wager that I will be having a full Session in here.
Highly Recommended!

I've been to the Bricklayers a few times over the years and always found it a great venue, however ...
My most recent visit was in July of 2011 and I'm not sure quite what was going on !!!
Ordinarily there would be 6 to 8 beers on cask, however only ONE was available on our Sunday afternoon visit (which was in good nick)
There were only 3 other people in the place (perhaps word had got out?)
One of them mentioned some form of dispute with the pub and (I don't want to guess and get facts wrong here - beer supplier/landlord !?! ), but either way a dissapointing visit bearing in mind I'd dragged a few mates down from out of town who hadn't been before, extolling the virtues of the Bricklayers range!
I hope service has returned to normal !?!

The Bricklayer's Arms is the place to unwind after a long day of drinking. I stopped by on a Friday night when the wait at the bar of the White Horse was three persons deep and growing. The BA, on the other hand, was quiet.
That's not to say it wasn't populated; there were plenty enjoying the four or five Timothy Taylor beers on cask, me included. I had the Ram Tam and the Landlord, which were both decent -- better, even, when enjoyed in their serene, kidney-shaped beer garden.
They also had a few Bricklayer's Arms beers on cask, which I didn't get to. But they must be good if they named the pub after them.

We hit this pub for a bit of a pre game session before heading across the thames to Craven Cottage to catch FFC v. Derby Cty.
When we walked in, we were greeted by a very dire sight. EVERY single Timothy Taylor product was off! This was due to the brewery not making their delivery the day before we were told. Somewhat of a bummer as I've never had anything other than landlord! So, when life gives you lemons, you drink back pints of Hogsback TEA and Autumn brown! Both beers were on good condition and went down wonderfully! The pub itself is quite pretty and there is a nice outside section as well. Did not try the food but the lads eating the bacon and sausage sandwiches looked happy! Will stop by again with the hope of trying the rest of the elusive Timothy Taylor beers!
***Second trip 2008 October***
They had almost the full line of Timothy Taylor on this visit. I tried the Landlord, golden best, mild, and the best fucking beer they brew... ram-tam... All were wonderful and in good condition. They also had a cider and perry on which were both tasty as well...

A village pub in Putney, hard to believe but true. We sat to the left as you walk in, past the bar and into what reminded me of a boatshed, wooden ceiling and painted panels on the walls. The floor is wooden too, so plenty of wood then! An orange glow comes from the wall mounted lights to add an olde worlde type feel, guess what the furniture is made of? You are correct, mostly wood.
The place was fairly busy (May Saturday at 17.00), sadly a loud, smoking, know it all American was sat across from us and he kind of ruined the atmosphere for my party of three.
The beers were all fine, the full range of TT, plus two from Saltaire (a small new brewery from Yorkshire).
Old bald bloke behind the bar was a bit rude and 'offish', the young chap was fine, hence the low score for service, plus the toilets are very poor.
Nowhere except Sam Smiths and Weatherspoons are cheap in London, but this place is above average in price, even for London.

I've been living in nearby Parsons Green for the past several months, and the Bricklayer's Arms is far and away the nicest pub I've found in the area (I've been working at the White Horse, so I can't include that...and it's too different to compare anyway). From the moment you walk in it's clear that this isn't your regular London pub. A very inviting, peaceful coziness permeates the place. You're guaranteed to be greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, all of whom are very kind, pour a fantastic pint and have a casual air about them that makes you feel like you're hanging out in their home. The atmosphere only reinforces this feeling, with warm lighting, comfortable seats, the exposed beam ceiling, and genial and talktative regulars. There's a really nice, almost contemplative quietness to the atmosphere at the Bricklayer's Arms that doesn't by any means keep it from being a good place to go for a night out with friends, but does make it even more perfect for appreciating the stellar quality of their beers. I was here to watch the Liverpool-Chelsea Champions Leage semi-final, and even then, this sort of atmosphere prevailed.
And of course, as mentioned in other reviews, the range of Timothy Taylor's beers is impressively kept and really something to behold. The popularity of Landlord has meant that it hasn't been offered a couple times I've gone, but when you can have the Best Bitter, Dark Mild or Ram Tam instead, it doesn't really matter. In addition they have two other handpumps, which have always had interesting choices from breweries for the most part I've never heard of. The usual Staropramen/Guinness/Strongbow is there too, though I suspect they see most of their action during Fulham home games. This is an ale drinker's pub, first and foremost.
Enjoy it! I will certainly miss the Bricklayer's Arms when I leave London next month.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
Think toe tapping and finger snapping. It's the kind of classic, classy music that just makes you want to move.
On April 6, the nationally-acclaimed vocal ensemble Five By Design will croon their tunes to the music of the Anderson Symphony Orchestra as they debut "The Ultra Lounge Show" at 7:30 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre, 1124 Meridian Plaza.
"It is the premiere of Five By Design's new show," said Dana Stone, executive director of the Anderson Symphony Orchestra. Stone noted that Five By Design has performed in Anderson twice before, and was very well received.
The Minnesota-based ensemble's website describes the style: "Five By Design embraces the unforgettable melodies, lush harmonies, and swinging rhythms that evoke the names of Miller, Mancini and Mercer."
The voices of Five by Design belong to Lorie Carpenter-Niska, Catherine Scott, Kurt Niska, Michael Swedberg and Terrence Niska.
"They are fantastic," said Rick Sowers, music director of the Anderson Symphony Orchestra. Five By Design brings a mix of vocal jazz and lounge music with a theatrical touch. "It's very, very entertaining ... It's visually fun to watch."
That's because Five By Design incorporates costuming, sets and different lighting into the show.
The evening of music will be set as if in the Tiki lounge of a casino. Expect to hear the music of artists like Bobby Darrin, Rosemary Clooney, Wayne Newton and Peggy Lee.
To top off the musical evening, you can follow the performance up with dessert, drinks, fun and more live music at the Tiki-room-style After Party to be held across the street at Laura Sandlin's Shelter Insurance Agency building.
Party-goers will enjoy desserts, a cash bar, complimentary coffee and water along with banter and music.
The Ultra Lounge Show comes to The Paramount Theatre, 1124 Meridian Plaza, Anderson, on Saturday, April 6, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 to $32, seniors $18 to $30. Student tickets run $5.
Add $10 to the ticket to drop in to the After Party. For more information or tickets, call 644-2111, or check the website at www.andersonsymphony.org.

Last year, I posted the same poll. My introduction is the same - especially for the Ole Miss fans:
Living in the heart of SEC country, there is clearly some football in the air. As usual, most ole miss fans believe their team will go 9-3 - they ALWAYS do, but may get it right this year! The Alabama fans have their swagger back and the UT fans - well, they are still obnoxious. The Arkansas fans are looking for some direction and the Miss State bulldogs are still lost. The Florida fans are quietly confident - understandably so. The LSU fans and UGA fans are hopeful. Not sure about Auburn fans. Even the Vandy fans are excited. Now this is based on all the fans in Memphis (and yes, my son came home yesterday and even said there was a South Carolina fan at his school!) - so we have it ALL in Memphis.
So - what say you - How many wins will we get?

Register-Herald Reporter
Editor's note: Following is the second in a series of three articles on the economic impact of the Boy Scouts of America on the area.
Depending on how much tourist infrastructure they already had in place, communities near the Boy Scouts of America's former Jamboree site felt varying levels of economic impact from the event, but tourism officials there say there are ways to be proactive and involved in maximizing that potential.
Prior to developing a permanent home for the Jamboree in Fayette County, every four years the BSA built and then broke down their Jamboree site at the 70,000-acre Fort A.P. Hill military base in Caroline County, Va.
The county is rural; an economic development official there describes it as "a small community with few cultural and commercial resources." Its county seat, Bowling Green, is home to only 1,115 people. Though only 15 minutes away from the military installation, the town's economic benefit was relatively minor.
"We really had no way of extracting traveler dollars from the event. Unless you have those facilities at hand, you're simply not going to realize that kind of revenue," says Gary Wilson, economic development director for Caroline County.
In that sense, he feels that a city like Beckley is best poised to take advantage of the Jamboree's presence in the area.
"I think it's going to be challenging to those folks in the community adjacent to it to realize the full benefit. But I think where they already have hotels and theaters and such, those folks are going to clean up," he says.
Wilson says that rules requiring Scouts to stay on the military base during the Jamboree meant it was only a small boost to the county's economy. Once Scouts were inside the gate, they were pretty much sealed off. The effect in Caroline County tended to be from day tripping civilians who would come to the Jamboree to take part on a limited basis.
"I think we probably realized maybe $20,000 in revenue overall. When you're talking about tens of thousands of people in your community, that's not a tremendously large amount," he said.
But ask the director of economic development and tourism for the City of Fredericksburg about the impact of the event and you'll get a different story.
"It absolutely had an enormous impact," says Karen Hedelt. "It's essentially dropping a city larger in size than Fredericksburg 20 miles from us."
With a population of 25,700 and a quaint historic downtown, Fredericksburg has a lot to offer tourists, both in the way of services and points of historical interest.
Because of its infrequency, Hedelt's office never did an economic impact study of the event, but one thing she knows for sure is that the Jamboree will be missed by area business people, not to mention tourism groups. The city saw "huge" increases in hotel tax in the leadup and during the event.
"We would have to remind ourselves — 'OK, next year we are going to have a drop in these two months. We need to understand and accept that it's part of the bonus of this event coming near us,'" she said.
It took local tourism officials a while to get their heads around the sheer volume of people involved in Jamboree. The first year, Hedelt thought she had overpurchased on printed materials, but ended up running out and having to scramble to get more in place. It was a learning process.
The only downside, if it could be called that, for local businesses was the struggle to find capacity to carry such a large influx of people all at once.
"The impact was across the spectrum," says Hedelt, and included hotels, restaurants, retail and auto services.
Nevertheless, she doesn't advise founding a business based solely on the National Scout Jamboree, since it only happens every four years.
To the knowledge of George Whitehurst of the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, no businesses sprang up in Caroline County as a result of the Jamboree.
Instead, it was more like a bonus for existing businesses. Fast food restaurants in Caroline County, for example, were certainly happy to have the troops coming and going.
"You kind of looked for it every four years," says Ronnie James, a Fredericksburg hotelier with 25 years of experience in the business.
"It was one of those peak events in the Fredericksburg market. Just like during inauguration we get overflow from Washington. You have it on your calendar every four years and you're looking forward to it."
Whereas normally his hotels are booked at 80 to 85 percent occupancy, that swelled to 100 percent during the Jamboree.
Perhaps more importantly, he benefited from the longer-term business of all the setup crews, people from government agencies and BSA staff who came two or three weeks prior to prepare. These visitors worked hard and wanted a nice hotel and a good meal at a local restaurant at night. Fredericksburg could provide those things.
And so for weeks at a time, some hotels in the city were full just from the Jamboree business. It became hard to justify taking single or double night reservations during that time frame, since James knew he could likely fill it for several weeks otherwise.
James also says he has seen his area change and grow dramatically in the past 25 years of his career.
Back then, when the area still had a lot of country stores and mom and pop grocery stories, they would double their inventories for that week. Now, those kinds of places are less common, edged out by chains.
Commercial development in the region has expanded, traffic has worsened and security is tighter at the Jamboree.
"They weren't coming up to the local ice cream shop like they used to," he said of the Scouts. "The tourist restaurants and mom and pop type stores used to be kind of an attraction, especially for kids from New York City or Boston. It was kind of a treat for them. Now those kinds of things, for safety reasons and for the growth of the area, have kind of gone away."
Since more hotels have sprouted up, they each get a smaller share of the pie.
During the most recent Jamboree in 2010, "(The event) helped fill the town but it wasn't like previous years when it was oversold and we were sending people to Washington and Richmond," he said.
He doubts that a hotel chain would decide to locate in southern West Virginia based solely on The Summit Bechtel Reserve.
But since the new Jamboree site is permanent and will also add a high adventure base and summer camp, West Virginians hope the economic effect will be more appreciable and steady through time.
"That's really where they are going to be in a better situation than we ever were," says Wilson. "I could see that you could really have a nice shot in the arm for your economy with that kind of situation there."
James says the event was great exposure for Fredericksburg. He believes the area — with its five major Civil War battlefields — may remain a stop on the Boy Scout itinerary as troops arrange side excursions to visit attractions in the region.
"I think we'll still see a little bit of the guys with green suits coming through," he said.
Fredericksburg's ability to capitalize on the Jamboree was likely due in part to certain efforts made by the tourism office.
Early on, Fredericksburg created a Boy Scout hiking trail program that led Scouts on a walking tour past 20-odd sites of historical interest in downtown. Afterward, the boys could fill out a questionnaire about what they learned and purchase a patch or medal.
It took some careful logistics to manage the parking as busloads of troops arrived on the hour to complete the walk. Drivers also had to be aware of pedestrians as the Scouts trooped through town.
The program was later imitated at some of the region's Civil War battlefields run by the National Park Service.
"It could have been a scavenger hunt, or it could have been nature-based. We happen to be rich in history in our area. That's just something we chose that was distinguishing to us," said Hedelt.
Other localities, as they began to understand the impact of the Jamboree, created additional programming to provide activities for Scouts.
Another success for Hedelt's office was placing a satellite visitor's center at Fort A.P. Hill, which gave them another opportunity to be a resource for people looking for lodging or restaurants.
Staff polled the region's hotels each morning to find out whether there were any vacancies.
"Frequently there were not," says Hedelt. That's with 3,800 hotel rooms in the immediate area, plus about 800 rooms in Caroline County.
To make the most of the huge influx of people to the region, Hedelt's office, above all, had to look ahead and anticipate the visitors' needs.
They kept information about shopping, car repair and medical care at the satellite visitor's center. They developed a map that would lead people into Fredericksburg to major shopping areas, working closely with state and local police on routing.
"They have every need from shampoo to sneakers," says Hedelt. "We just needed to have a good handle on resources."
Hedelt advises local economic development officials to provide a forum, like a vendor expo, for local businesses to understand how scouting staff goes about their procurement process so they can join the vendor pool.
"I understand the wait-and-see approach," she said, "but business relationships can be established that might be outside your immediate area — like for provision of food stuffs or transportation services — and once that relationship has been established, if it has been successful, you are less likely to move away from it in the future."
James also advises local hoteliers to think in advance and prepare as much as possible. For one thing, know the Jamboree dates and protect them for long-term guests.
"You don't want to turn business away, but not all business is necessarily good business if someone wants to stay right in the middle of it," he said.
"But being a new project, it's something they're just going to have to feel out and see how it affects them."
Wilson says it will take time for Fayette County's tourism infrastructure to build up to capacity.
"And until it does," he said, "the nearby communities with the infrastructure and nice amenities are going to be the ones to see the influx first, and it's going to take a while for the rest to follow."

The suffragists didn't take the insults by U.S. President William Howard Taft lightly when he addressed their organization, the National American Woman Suffrage Organization– back in April of 1910. Taft had been known to oppose women voting, but perhaps he'd at least be polite in addressing their convention. Instead, he launched into a tirade about how extending the vote to women would be a disaster. The audience hissed, to which Taft said that self restraint was part of the game. Later, the organization officially apologized to Taft, but the point had been made. The women were up against very powerful individuals and interests.

By COURTNEY LEWIS
---- — The PrimeLink Great Northern Shootout annually serves as a chance for Plattsburgh State to test itself against some of the best teams in Division III men's hockey, but this year the tournament is also a chance for a little bit of redemption.
The Cardinals were upset by Geneseo last weekend before salvaging a split with a win over Brockport. They face No. 12 Middlebury in the first game today at Norwich's Kreitzberg Arena.
"I think we're looking to redeem ourselves after the loss last week and make sure we're working hard," Plattsburgh defenseman Mike Grace said.
No. 2 Norwich hosts No. 11 St. Thomas in the second game tonight. The consolation game is Saturday afternoon, followed by the championship tilt.
Plattsburgh had developed a habit of getting off to slow starts in games, and Grace said that caught up to them against Geneseo, which jumped out to a 2-0 lead and eventually won 3-2.
"We were getting away with stuff in the first period, not having to work hard," Grace said. "It finally showed that we gotta work hard, and talent isn't going to take us all the way."
No. 5 Plattsburgh (5-1) and Middlebury both feature young players. While four of the Cardinals' top five scorers are freshmen or sophomores, the Panthers have four freshmen at the top of their scoring list. Forward Matt Silcoff paces Middlebury with a goal and two assists in two games.
Junior Nick BonDurant has handled the Panthers' goaltending duties, and he sports a 2.88 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage.
"Middlebury's a good hockey team," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "We've heard they have a great freshman class. It will be a good test for us. We're young, too.
"And I know some of the kids they brought in; they're pretty good. They're going to look to be a skating team, move the puck and be gritty around the net."
The Panthers (1-0-1) just opened the season last weekend with a tough NESCAC road trip. They beat Colby 5-2 on Friday and then scored twice in the third period to tie Bowdoin 4-4.
"I'm hoping to take advantage of that. If we have anything on Middlebury it's just the fact that we've played a few more games than they did," Emery said. "Because they're going to be one of the teams to contend at the end of the year."
Norwich, which won the tournament last year, has started this season with five straight wins, including victories over St. Anselm and New England College last weekend. St. Thomas (5-2-1) is coming off of a weekend sweep of fellow MIAC member Gustavus Adolphus.
Emery said the Cadets probably get the nod as the favorites this weekend.
"Norwich has that big senior class; when they were freshmen they won the national championship. They have some guys with NHL potential in that class," Emery said. "So we've got our work cut out for us with anyone you play in this tournament.
"It's by far the best tournament in Division III. It is each and every year, and we'll just go over there and hopefully we bring a little more toughness and a little bit more grit and play hard."

|On the Other Hand — Four words
|Sunday, September 15, 2013 12:00 AM
I don't often click on videos, etc., in Facebook posts because I hate waiting for them to come up and the last couple times I did, there was no video, just sound.
One caught my eye early Friday morning as I was avoiding doing something else.
Everyone's comment on the video was positive and what caught my eye was "thank you so much for saying what I can't."
I felt compelled to check it out.
The video was from a seminar and the young man speaking, Kevin Breel, was a former high school athlete, he got good grades, he was popular, he was good-looking and he spoke with an air beyond his years. The gist of his presentation was that while his life looked great and he seemed to be having a wonderful experience, he suffered from depression.
"For a long time, I have lived two lives. There's the me everyone else sees and there's the me I see."
Every 30 seconds, someone loses their life to depression and we, as society, hardly bat an eye.
I know people who suffer from depression and have understood that what they feel is real regardless of how I see their life. However, I never really grasped the true meaning of suffering from depression.
This young man helped me and now I hope I can be more supportive to those I love who are battling something you can't see.
A summary of the words he spoke that really made it all clearer for me were:
"Depression is not sadness. Everyone is sad at some point. We are sad when we break up with a girlfriend, or when a loved one dies or when bad things happen. Real depression is being sad when things are going great. Depression is being sad when good things are happening in your life."
He spoke of how, in the midst of all his success, he had sat on the edge of his bed with a bottle of pills and pen and paper ready to end it all.
Thankfully, he did not carry through with his plans.
He said the stigma connected with depression is the real problem.
"We break our arm and everyone runs over to sign your cast. When you tell people you're depressed, everyone runs the other way. It's the most documented condition and the least talked about."
His solution to finding better understanding of depression is four words: I suffer from depression. He said that just by saying it, putting it out there, fewer people may take their lives.
"Depression isn't like chicken pox. It's not something you beat one time and it's done. You live with it every day," he said.
He said that just by saying those four words, people could come together and help each other.
I think he's right.

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about the different ways doctors use to treat people/children with this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
The treatment of inflammatory breast cancer depends on the size and location of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread, and the woman's overall health. In many cases, a team of doctors will work with the patient to determine the best treatment plan. Inflammatory breast cancer is typically considered a later-stage breast cancer and, therefore, treated aggressively with surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapy (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or HER2 targeted therapy).
Chemotherapy is usually the first form of treatment for inflammatory breast cancer. Chemotherapy given before surgery is known as preoperative or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of chemotherapy is to control or kill cancer cells, including those in the breast as well as those that may have spread to other parts of the body. After chemotherapy, patients with inflammatory breast cancer usually undergo surgery and radiation therapy to the breast or chest wall. Both radiation and surgery are local treatments that affect only cells in the breast and the immediately surrounding area. The purpose of surgery is to remove the tumor from the body, while the purpose of radiation therapy is to destroy remaining cancer cells. Each treatment option is described below.
This section outlines treatments that are the standard of care (the best treatments available) for this specific type of cancer. Patients are also encouraged to consider clinical trials when making treatment plan decisions. A clinical trial is a research study to test a new treatment to prove it is safe, effective, and possibly better than standard treatment. Your doctor can help you review all treatment options. For more information, see the Clinical Trials section.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Systemic chemotherapy is delivered through the bloodstream, targeting cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy is given by a medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with medication. Most people with breast cancer receive chemotherapy in their doctor's office or outpatient clinic. An adjuvant (post-surgery) chemotherapy regimen consists of a specific treatment schedule of drugs given at repeating intervals for a specific number of times.
Chemotherapy may be given intravenously (injected into a vein) or occasionally orally (by mouth), and is usually given in cycles. Chemotherapy for inflammatory breast cancer is usually given before surgery. Chemotherapy is also commonly given at the time of a breast cancer recurrence. Patients in clinical trials may be offered new drugs or new combinations of existing drugs.
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the individual and the drug and the dose used, but can include fatigue, hair loss, risk of infection, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. These side effects usually go away once treatment is finished. Rarely, long-term side effects may occur, such as heart damage, nerve damage, or secondary cancers, but studies have shown that these side effects do not shorten a patient's survival time.
Different drugs are useful for different types of cancer, and research has shown that combinations of certain drugs are sometimes more effective than individual ones. The following drugs or combinations of drugs may be used to treat inflammatory breast cancer:
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)
- Methotrexate (multiple brand names)
- Fluorouracil (5-FU, Adrucil)
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
- Epirubicin (Ellence)
- Paclitaxel (Taxol)
- Docetaxel (Taxotere)
- CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-FU)
- CAF (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and 5-FU)
- CEF (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, and 5-FU)
- EC (epirubicin and cyclophosphamide)
- AC (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide)
- TAC (docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide)
- AC followed by T (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, followed by paclitaxel)
- TC (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide)
- Vinorelbine (Navelbine)
- Capecitabine (Xeloda)
- Protein bound paclitaxel (Abraxane)
- Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (DOXIL, Dox-SL, Evacet, LipoDox)
- Gemcitabine (Gemzar)
- Carboplatin (Paraplat, Paraplatin)
- Cisplatin (Platinol)
- Ixabepilone (Ixempra)
Learn more about chemotherapy and preparing for treatment. The medications used to treat cancer are continually being evaluated. Talking with your doctor is often the best way to learn about the medications prescribed for you, their purpose, and their potential side effects or interactions with other medications. Learn more about your prescriptions by using searchable drug databases.
Surgery is performed to remove the tumor in the breast and to evaluate the surrounding axillary (underarm) lymph nodes. A surgical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer using surgery. Because inflammatory breast cancer is usually located extensively throughout the breast and involves the lymphatic vessels in the skin, it is difficult to remove the entire tumor with negative margins (no cancer left at the edges of the tissue removed during surgery) if surgery is the first step in treatment. Any cancer left behind at the time of surgery increases the chances of recurrence in the breast and affects wound healing. So, chemotherapy is given first in inflammatory breast cancer to shrink and kill the cancer in the breast, improving the chance that surgery will be successful.
The usual surgical treatment for inflammatory breast cancer is a mastectomy (removal of the entire breast). In some cases, lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and a small, clear (cancer-free) margin of tissue around it) is possible. A lumpectomy may also be called breast-conserving surgery, a partial mastectomy, or a segmental mastectomy.
Lymph node removal and analysis
Lymph nodes can trap cancer cells traveling away from the original tumor site. It is important to find out whether any of the lymph nodes near the breast contain evidence of cancer.
In an axillary lymph node dissection, the surgeon removes many of the lymph nodes from under the arm, which are then examined by a pathologist for cancer cells. The actual number of nodes removed varies. The removal of lymph nodes increases the risk of lymphedema. Learn about preventing lymphedema after breast cancer treatment.
Reconstructive (plastic) surgery
Women who undergo a mastectomy may wish to consider breast reconstruction, which is surgery to rebuild the breast. Reconstruction may be done with tissue from another part of the body, or with synthetic (artificial) implants. In inflammatory breast cancer, the reconstruction is usually not done at the same time as mastectomy (immediate reconstruction), due to the need for radiation therapy. However, many women may consider future (delayed) reconstruction. Talk with your doctor for more information. Read more about breast reconstruction after a mastectomy and choosing a breast prosthesis.
Learn more about cancer surgery.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to kill cancer cells. A doctor who specializes in giving radiation therapy to treat cancer is called a radiation oncologist. The most common type of radiation treatment is called external-beam radiation therapy, which is radiation given from a machine outside the body. When radiation treatment is given using implants, it is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy.
A radiation therapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific number of treatments given over a specific time. Standard radiation therapy after a mastectomy is given to the chest wall for five days (Monday through Friday) for five to six weeks. Standard radiation therapy after a lumpectomy is external-beam radiation therapy given daily for five days per week (Monday through Friday) for six to seven weeks. This usually includes radiation therapy to the whole breast first for four-and-a-half to five weeks, followed by a more focused treatment to the site of the tumor bed in the breast for the remaining treatments. This focused part of the treatment, called a boost, is standard for women with invasive breast cancer to reduce the risk of a recurrence in the breast. If there is evidence of cancer in the underarm lymph nodes, radiation therapy may also be given to the lymph node areas in the neck or underarm near the breast or chest wall. There has been growing interest in newer radiation regimens to shorten the length of treatment from six to seven weeks to periods of three to four weeks. However, these regimens have not been studied in patients with inflammatory breast cancer. As always, patients should talk with their doctors about available options for radiation therapy, as well as the advantages, and disadvantages of these options.
Adjuvant radiation therapy is radiation treatment after surgery. It is effective in reducing the chance of breast cancer returning in both the breast and the chest wall. Adjuvant radiation therapy is nearly always recommended for patients with inflammatory breast cancer after mastectomy, because of the high risk of cancer cells being left behind on the chest wall. Neoadjuvant radiation therapy is radiation therapy given before surgery to shrink a large tumor, which makes it easier to remove, although this approach is rare.
Radiation therapy can cause side effects, including fatigue, swelling of the breast, and skin changes. Other side effects may include upset stomach, and loose bowel movements. Most side effects go away soon after treatment is finished. A small amount of the lung can be affected by the radiation, although the risk of pneumonitis, or a radiation-related inflammation of the lung tissue, is low. In the past, with older equipment and techniques of radiation therapy, women treated for left-sided breast cancers had a small increase in the long-term risk of heart disease. Modern techniques are now able to spare most of the heart from radiation damage.
Learn more about radiation therapy.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. One of the targeted therapies used for treating HER2-positive inflammatory breast cancer is a drug called trastuzumab (Herceptin). HER2 is a specialized protein found on breast cancer cells that controls cancer growth and spread. Patients receiving trastuzumab have a small (2% to 5%) risk of heart problems, and this risk is increased if a patient has other risk factors for heart disease. These heart problems do not always go away, but they are usually treatable with medication. Other targeted treatments are being tested in clinical trials; see the Current Research section for more information. Learn more about targeted treatments.
Hormone therapy
Hormone therapy helps manage a tumor that tests positive for either estrogen or progesterone receptors in all stages of breast cancer. Because most inflammatory breast cancers do not have these receptors, this treatment is not used. Find additional information about hormone therapy in the breast cancer treatment section.
Find out more about common terms used during cancer treatment.

Randolph County property owners are about to see a big increase in their property tax bills.
The county owes more than $2 million.
To pay off that debt, commissioners today raised the county millage rate by 28%.
Once you figure in the other taxes property owners, such as to the school board, their bill won't go up that much, but it sill will increase by 10.41%.
Randolph County Attorney Tommy Coleman says this debt obviously did not happen over night, it had accumulated over the last decade.
But some Randolph property owners say this is not their debt to pay.
Taxpayer Elijah Hodge says it is not fair that mismanagement of the county should fall on the shoulders of people like him.
"Steve Jackson, Jimmy Bradley, and Evan Simmons, they are responsible for what is going on in this county and they all need to be in the new jail that they are going to build," says Elijah Hodge, Randolph Property Owner.
Hodge, along with other concerned residents, are petitioning for a recall of some of the commissioners.
"If he can't handle the county's business, then he needs to go," says Bobby Milner, Randolph Property Owner.
Milner says Commissioner Evan Simmons is responsible for some of the debt.
"One of the commissioners do not even own property in Randolph county, he was the ex chairman of the commission that caused a lot of this problem," says Milner.
Randolph County Attorney Tommy Coleman, says the 10.41 percent tax increase is the only practical and immediate solution.
"They need the money now, the IRS is right there not, this instant and the bank is saying we want our money by December 31st and we are not going to give you anymore money unless you pay that, they need to get out of this cycle of debt," says Tommy Coleman, Randolph County Attorney.
Coleman says the County owes the IRS $700,000 and owes the bank $1.5 million.
"This did not occur over night and I think you can argue that there was mismanagement or it should have been taken care of, or politics, or whatever you want to say about it, but the fact of the matter is that whatever the cause it is here now and they have got to deal with it and they are trying to deal with it," says Coleman.
Bertha Murphy, the only commissioner who voted against the tax increase, thinks it is time for the Federal Government to step in and give them some solid structure.
"Randolph County is one of the poorest counties in the state of Georgia, so what is going to happen for those persons who are unable to pay their taxes, the house will be auctioned off on the courthouse steps," says Bertha Murphy, Randolph County Commissioner/ District 3.
Her biggest fear is living in a community where resources are limited, leading to more people losing their homes.
County Attorney Coleman says the County would be bankrupt if Counties were allowed to declare bankruptcy.
The county owes the IRS $700,000 at a 14% interest.
They also owe the bank $1.5 million at a 6% interest.
The tax hike will take effect December 20th.

Samsung Galaxy series of tablets and smartphones have been well received since they first started appearing on store shelves, and with good reason. Not all manufacturers really get industrial design, aesthetics, and the goal of building a cohesive whole that doesn't cut corners. With the latest Pro series of tablets, Samsung looks to improve on their existing devices, with better performance, some minor tuning of the industrial design, and some software tweaks as well. We have the 8.4" and 10.1" Galaxy Tab Pro models in house and we've been testing them for the past week. Read on for our full review.

Outcry as Ben Jonson pub becomes the Black Sheep
5:00am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Sam McGregor

VILLAGERS say the new landlords of a pub have wiped out a piece of literary history dating back hundreds of years.
The former Ben Jonson pub in Weston-on-the-Green, near Bicester, is said to have taken the name after the famous poet and playwright stayed there on his way to visit William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Now locals are fuming after the new tenants – Mark Godfrey and chef Martin Underwood – changed the historic name to The Black Sheep to fit in with branding at nearby Weston Manor – which they also run.
One resident, Dr Susan Daenke, said villagers were not consulted over the change and the situation felt like a "feudal manorial relationship".
Parish clerk Bob Hessian, who is also chairman of Bicester Local History Society, said the pub had been called the Ben Jonson since the 1700s after the playwright and poet reputedly stayed there on his way to Stratford to see Shakespeare.
New signs went up last week and the refurbished pub is due to reopen on Monday.
Mr Hessian said: "It's the history. It's been called the Ben Jonson since the early 1700s at least.
"We have lost that to my mind. It's just disappointing.
"We have no power to stop him.
"I just think they have changed the name more for a branding point of view.
"The theme at Weston Manor is sheep and they have got a couple of sculptures of sheep in the front of the hotel.
"There's a sheep association with Weston Manor but it's not as if Weston has got a sheep farming community."
Dr Daenke, who has lived in the village for 20 years, wants the owners to reconsider and warned people would "vote with their feet" and go to another pub.
She said: "We were a bit dismayed to find the new owner of the manor had decided to change the name without any consultation.
"There is very strong feeling in the village against the change. He risks alienating village customers to the pub at his peril.
"The pub is the central part of the village and part of history.
"I feel as if we are moving back into feudal manorial relationship again and that's not how it should be in this day and age."
A spokesman for the pub said: "While we understand that some local residents were attached to property's former name, it's quite normal practice to change a business name on new ownership."
Punch Taverns, which owns the pub, said its tenant made the name change decision to link the pub with "branding of the operator's sister restaurant, Weston Manor Hotel".

Weston Old Gits always have a bee in their bonnet over something. They didn't want eco houses ("oh no, poor people might come"), they didn't want lorries so they weight-limited the bridge (and then weren't satisfied because you can use it coming the other way), and probably choked on their Werthers' Originals when the Ardley incinerator got passed.
Look at the flooding reports on here, there are more important issues than moaning about a pub named after a man most people know nothing about, who might've stayed there en-route to visiting the man who's bored millions of people over the last 400 years.

Still, we all know what happens when a community abandons a pub...
1 It closes and the locals turn to Camra for a quote
2 It goes on the market and the locals turn to the localism act
3 Locals fail to raise money and it sells to highest bidder
4 Property developer submits plans for residential development
5 Locals vexate via planning process
6 Developer evidences audited financials
7 London buyer purchases weekend place near new railway station

They're precisely the people that go in there on Christmas day for their free pint off the landlord where they shake his hand as if they were an old friend when in reality they probably hadn't been in the pub since last Christmas when they did exactly the same thing.

Presumably the Weston OGs only buy British clothes made in factories in Lancashire, so that none of our textile industry closes down and moves abroad? And they only buy British made cars so that our motor industry will carry on as it always has? I'm pretty sure that neither of these two are true - because we all recognise that the world today is different than it used to be.
Village pubs are dying at an increasing pace because too few people are frequenting them. Perhaps if they'd allowed the Eco-town to be built near them the Ben Jonson would have had enough customers to not feel the need to be refurbished and modernised?

Hello Carla,
You could specify the temperature, e.g. "at room temperature, please"; but it would be an unusual thing to do. In ordinary usage, you would simply add "no ice" after the name of the drink.

Bagley High Drama Freaks by emmi2011 - over 4 years ago
"Our one act competition team decided we needed to win in style so we ordered t-shirts from CustomInk. The play is called "Freak" and is a social statement against suicide. It talks about how high school can "tag" you as different things- a prep, a jock, a nerd...and a freak. The play deals with the latter, in the setting of a freakshow/carnival. On the front is the phrase "I'm a Drama Club FREAK!" (invented by one of the cast members and written in the main color-red. They couldn't have been any better and we can't wait to show them off as we get higher in rankings!"

Team Speed Kills also has a superb review of the game, with particular attention paid to how Stephen Garcia, harried all night by an excellent Ole Miss pass rush, played the way Jevan Snead could not when the game was on the line: effectively, efficiently, and intelligently. Yes, those words associated with that Stephen Garcia. It's like he's growing up..right...in...front of your...eyes (/holds back tears)
SBN Ole Miss blog Red Cup Rebellion, however, has little but scorn for the offense and worse for Arkansas fans wanting to crow about their former coach's most high-profile failure at his new gig. Do you like profanity, kids? Oh, there's some over there if you really must have it.

The Little Giant NXTGen™ VCMX-20ULS has an oil resistant tank and check valve that eliminates the problem of cracked tanks from exposure to oil. The pump features a safety switch that can be connected to shut down the air system, or wired to an alarm to warn of possible tank overflow. The VCMX-20ULS is rated for high-efficiency condensing gas furnace applications that produce an acidic condensate. The VCMX-20ULST also comes with 20' of 3/8" drain tubing.
Air conditioners and high-efficiency furnaces have a water drain on them, as water is collected while they operate. This water drains out a tube to your floor drain. But what if you don't have a floor drain? Then you can use this condensate pump to run the drain tube anywhere you like, such as in a sink, or into a drain pipe. This condensate pump attaches next to the furnace or air handler, where it collects the water. You connect a 3/8" drain tube to the pump, and run it where ever you like, including veritically overhead, since it can pump the water against gravity. An automatic float-switch turns it on periodically to empty the drain water.

I'll except either one. With preference given to more than one answer.
I'll except either one. With preference given to more than one answer.
I'm getting that the integral is 1 at R=1. Working on an interpretation.
And that is the answer given by wolframalpha. I'll accept that of course.
The integrated function is undefined at theta=0, R=1, but it can be assigned a limiting value that is finite, and makes the integral equal to 1.
However, the integrated function is also the limit of *both* sets of functions, one set from the left all of which have an integral of zero, and one set from the right, which has a limit of integral of 2, obviously. The difference between the two is they both approach the same function at R=1, *except* at theta=0 where the left one would have a negative Dirac delta function, and the right one would have a positive Dirac delta function.
The one for R=1, but I knew what you meant.That looks like it. If you take the absolute value of the integrand, then the answer is always the one for R>1.
It all depends on whether you're touching the point on the left, or the right.But without the absolute value and with R<1, that nasty hump near theta=0 (which is bigger, the closer R is to one) flips signs at R=1.
So, what if you move to the bottom or top of it? And that's only for a super-thin shell, too.
ETA: your turn!
Arg, it's more complicated than I realised. I was thinking the solution for R>1 extended to continuity to R=1, but it doesn't.
Let me think about it, when I'm not IP banned.
There aren't any Dirac functions in the solution
In the solutions for R>1? I dunno, I'd have to say, taken as a whole, their limit is a delta function--and after all, that's all a delta function is really, just a limit of a bunch of ordinary functions.
What's weird about this is, for R>1, the value of the integrand at theta=0 is zero. So I agree that it's not taking the usual approach to a delta function.
To be more specific then, if we include a delta function in the integrand at R=1, then the definite integral is 2, which agrees with the 2/R2 values for the R > 1.
If we include a negative delta function in the integrand at R=1, then the value of the definite integral is 0, which agrees with the values for R < 1.
In both cases, the augmented integrand at R=1 is the respective limit function (functional? generalized function?) from either side.
I'm getting 2 for the definite integral at R=1 by a direct calculation.
Scratch that, i'm getting 1 (i inadvertently integrated twice previously)
I don't quite understand the problem, is it that the solution is discontinuous at R=1?
I am rather bothered by this - at first, I felt like the phenomenon was driven by the fact that the integrand is the square root of a rational function, but we need to take the negative square root over part of the range of integration for R<1. But then the R=1 case should extend by continuity from the R>1 case, and yet it clearly doesn't. (I just verified the 2/R^2 formula numerically.) So that is only part of the story.
The value at R=1 is the midpoint of the upper and lower limits, I haven't decided whether that is meaningful yet.
Actually, that is none of the story. The angle theta is measured from the center of the shell, so the distance is always positive, no negative square root involved.I am rather bothered by this - at first, I felt like the phenomenon was driven by the fact that the integrand is the square root of a rational function, but we need to take the negative square root over part of the range of integration for R<1. But then the R=1 case should extend by continuity from the R>1 case, and yet it clearly doesn't. (I just verified the 2/R^2 formula numerically.) So that is only part of the story.
As R approaches 1 from above (that is, a test particle moving towards the shell), the small area directly below has a greater and greater influence, even as the effective area lessens because the outlying parts are more closer to perpendicular to the approach. At R=1, the effect is like a flat plane, and the gravity is 1 due to that plane effect--and only at theta equal zero. The effect of the entire rest of the shell only adds up to 1, that is the integral that you've calculated. But, at R=1, the gravity has to be 2/R2, Newton's law, and together they do add up to 2.The value at R=1 is the midpoint of the upper and lower limits, I haven't decided whether that is meaningful yet.
On the "other side" of that single point, that effect completely reverses, and cancels out the entire effect of the rest of the shell. The integrands vary smoothly from there. So, the "solution" does involve a delta function.
ETA: You can play with this in wolframalpha, substituting various values for R. Sometimes, wolframalpha complains though, saying I must be trying to find the cosine of a cosine--maybe that's a problem with one of their servers, I don't know. When it works, it includes a nice graph of the integrand.
Integrate[ (sine(theta) * (R-cosine(theta)))/(1 + R^2 - 2*R*cosine(theta))^(3/2), {theta,0, \pi}]
Of course, Newton's laws have the gravity equal to 2/R2 down to the surface, at which point it becomes zero. But that "Newtonian" explanation would include an infinitely narrow, infinite spike of total area 1.
The indefinite integral isn't so hard, integrate by parts, then integrate again.
I think some additional insight can be had from it.
ETA: oops, indefinite integral. Sorry. So, that's it?
EETA: So evaluating that at pi and zero gives the 2/R^2 for R>1 and 0 for R<1, as it should, and your idea that the difference is from the positive/negative square root is correct. The evaluation boils down to 1/R^2 +/- 1/R^2, except at R=1
I used a substitution u = 1+R^2-2*R*cos(theta) and it also worked out.
EEETA: And technically it is undefined at R=1
Last edited by grapes; 2012-May-04 at 01:09 AM. Reason: Add babbling
Physically, the integral comes from the gravity on a rest point at A due to a thin hollow shell of radius r. *
Which, according to the shell theorem, is equal to zero for A < r, but GM/A^2 otherwise, which is
I was surprised about how easy the indefinite integral was to find - I figured it might be one of these where we can find the definite integral explicitly, but not the indefinite. But it wasn't.
The integral is definitely defined in the sense of Lebesgue for R=1. I think grapes is probably referring to some of the later specific expressions (e.g., my indefinite integral has a 0/0 problem for R=1 if you just plug theta=0 into it to find the definite integral).
As Coelacanth pointed out, any value we set the undefined portion of the integrand to, results in the same Lebesgue value for the integral, which is that limit. But we have another option.
I think you could assign any finite value you like, and it would even remain Riemann-integrable
The limit at R=1 and theta=0 rather depends on the direction in the R-theta plane from which you approach, which seems to be the fundamental phenomenon driving the whole thing here
So, if I'm up, what is the value of the following integral?
Which is?But we have another option.
All standard approaches seem to give the same answer, in fact i think there's a theorem that the Lebesgue integral must equal the improper Riemann integral in this case, so i'm not sure what the added benefit is to going the Lebesgue route rather than just the standard route of dealing with improper Riemann integrals.

Seek more funding for transportation security
"The Bush administration has invested only a small fraction of the $6 billion that transportation officials have said is necessary to implement needed security improvements. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that this critical hole in our homeland security network must be addressed."
Sources: "Strengthening America's Transportation Infrastructure"
Subjects: Homeland Security, Transportation
Administration boosts transit security, but not by as much as promised
Updated: Friday, January 1st, 2010 | By Louis Jacobson
During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to upgrade surface transportation security.
"Every weekday, Americans take 34 million trips on public transportation systems to get to work, school and beyond," the Obama campaign said. "Even though recent attacks have happened on public transit in Madrid, Mumbai and London, the Bush administration has invested only a small fraction of the $6 billion that transportation officials have said is necessary to implement needed security improvements. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that this critical hole in our homeland security network must be addressed."
In the proposed fiscal year 2010 budget, the administration sought roughly $128 million for surface transportation efforts run by the Transportation Security Administration. That was more than double the fiscal year 2009 level of $63 million, which in turn was higher than the nearly $47 million spent in 2008.
The final Homeland Security appropriations bill signed on Oct. 28, 2009, did not provide as much money as the administration had sought, but it still represented a big step up from 2009. The bill provides $111 million for TSA's surface transportation activities -- a 76 percent increase, including funding for 100 new security inspectors for subways, trains and buses.
Such numbers are a tiny fraction of the $6 billion referenced in the promise (and they were not bolstered by any additional funds in the economic stimulus package), but they do represent a significant increase from prior years' amounts. So we rate this promise a Compromise.
