Actress, Celebrity Angelina Jolie had Double Mastectomy
Angelina Jolie says that she has had a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carried a gene that made it extremely likely she would get breast cancer.
The Oscar-winning actress and partner to Brad Pitt made the announcement in the form of an op-ed she authored for Tuesday's New York Times under the headline, "My Medical Choice." She writes that between early February and late April she completed three months of surgical procedures to remove both breasts.
Jolie, 37, writes that she made the choice with thoughts of her six children after watching her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, die too young from cancer.
"My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56," Jolie writes. "She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was."
She writes that, "They have asked if the same could happen to me."
Jolie said that after genetic testing, she learned she carries the "faulty" BRCA1 gene and had an 87 percent chance of getting the disease herself.
She said she has kept the process private so far, but wrote about with hopes of helping other women.
"I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made," Jolie writes. "My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."
Phone and email messages left by The Associated Press late Monday night seeking comment from Jolie representatives were not immediately returned.
She is anything but private in the details she provides, giving a description of the procedures.
"My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a 'nipple delay,'" she writes, "which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area."
She then describes the major surgery two weeks later where breast tissue was removed, saying it felt "like a scene out of a science-fiction film," then writes that nine weeks later she had a third surgery to reconstruct the breasts and receive implants."
Many women have chosen preventive mastectomy since genetic screening for breast cancer was developed, but the move and public announcement is unprecedented from a star so young and widely known as Jolie.
She briefly addresses the effects of the surgery on the idealized sexuality and iconic womanhood that have fueled her fame.
"I do not feel any less of a woman," Jolie writes. "I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."
She also wrote that Brad Pitt, her partner of eight years, was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Southern California for "every minute of the surgeries."
Bertrand, Jolie's mother, died in January 2007. She had small roles in the movies "Lookin' to Get Out" in 1982 and "The Man Who Loved Women" in 1983. She raised Jolie and her brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.
Jolie has appeared in dozens of films including 2010's "The Tourist" and "Salt," the "Tomb Raider" films, and 1999's "Girl, Interrupted," for which she won an Academy Award.
But she has appeared more often in the news in recent years for her power coupling with Pitt and her charitable work with refugees as a United Nations ambassador.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The long wait is over for Alfonso Ribeiro. The "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star says he's wanted to be on "Dancing With the Stars" since it went on the air nearly 10 years ago. Ribeiro not only made it onto the show, he's the new champ. The winner was crowned at the conclusion of last night's season finale. It came down to Ribeiro and "Duck Dynasty" teen Sadie Robertson. Janel Parrish finished third. Ribeiro had the inside lane going into the finale. He had two sets of perfect scores from the judges on Monday's program and got another in the final dance on last night's show. Ribeiro had tears streaming down his cheeks and says he can't believe it. Dancing with the Stars will be back with its 10th anniversary season in the spring.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Even the places where Bill Cosby made charitable donations are taking sides as he denies allegations he sexually assaulted several women. High Point University in North Carolina has removed Cosby from its board of advisers. The Berklee College of Music says it will no longer award an online scholarship in Cosby's name. However, no institutions have publicly renounced the tens of millions Cosby and his wife have donated over the years. Cosby gave $20 million to Spelman College in 1988, which was the largest donation at the time by a black donor to a historically black college. A Spelman spokeswoman says there have been no discussions about changes regarding Cosby's gift. Cosby and his wife have also made sizable donations to the Morehouse School of Medicine, the U.S. National Slavery Museum in Fredericksburg, Virginia; the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; and St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. Temple University says Cosby is still a trustee there.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shia LaBeouf (SHY'-uh luh-BUF') was in a New York City court yesterday to show proof he's been in treatment after he disrupted a Broadway performance of "Cabaret" in June. LaBeouf appeared in court for a status hearing. He was arrested after he attended a performance of "Cabaret" and yelled at the actors, swore at security guards and smoked throughout. If he stays in treatment for at least three months and out of trouble for six, his case will be dismissed.

CP Special Report: Improving Plant Efficiency and Safety
Sponsored By: Parker
Chemical plants vary widely in size and complexity yet share common goals for maximizing efficiency safely and cost effectively. This Chemical Processing Special Report tackles two areas in chemical processing - compressed air systems and powder handling - where gains can be achieved for improving efficiency. We also address the concerns of safety as it relates to drying compressed air in hazardous atmospheres.
Important facts you should know about drying compressed air in hazardous environments
Hazardous locations have or could potentially have high concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, etc. A small spark can lead to a horrific explosion dangerous to equipment and workers in the area. Equipment located in hazardous areas must be specifically designed to prevent ignition and explosion.
Filtering Samples to On-Line Process Analyzers
Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings.

Yesterday's comparison pics of the Heavy Rain characters next to their real-life counterparts went down well, basically because you lot enjoyed perving over Madison Paige model, Jacqui Ainsley.
Shameless, we know. We're not even going to pretend there's any Heavy Rain news. You told us we should have posted more pics of her.
So here they are. Why? Because it only takes a second to pinch them from her official site. And because we wanted to read more of your hilarious comments in the thread below.
See another slightly pervy image gallery of the Heavy Rain Model over on the CVG Facebook fan page
CVG hears she's romantically linked with Pop Idol's very own Darius. The lucky bleeder.

Four Possible SARS Cases Reported in China
Health Alert Network Messages
español: Cuatro posibles casos de SRAS reportados en China
Note: This is an official CDC HEALTH UPDATE
Distributed via Health Alert Network
Friday, April 23, 2004
On April 23, 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) reported four patients with possible severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to the World Health Organization (WHO). Two of the cases are from Beijing and two are from Anhui Province, located in east-central China . One of the patients in Anhui Province died. Below is a brief description of the four cases.
The first patient is a 26-year-old female graduate student from Anhui Province who worked at the National Institute of Virology Laboratory of China 's Center for Disease Control in Beijing during March 7-22. The laboratory is known to conduct research on SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). She developed fever and other SARS-like symptoms on March 25 while in Anhui Province ; she traveled by train to Beijing and was admitted to a local hospital on March 29 with pneumonia. She returned to Anhui Province on April 2 and is currently under medical observation. Laboratory test results reported on April 23 showed evidence of antibodies to SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
The second patient is the mother of the 26-year-old graduate student who had provided bedside care for her daughter during her recent illness. The mother became ill on April 8 and was admitted to a hospital in Anhui Province with pneumonia. She died on April 19; Chinese health authorities have identified her illness as a possible SARS case.
The third patient is a 20-year-old female nurse (described in CDC Health Advisory on April 22) who provided care to the 26-year-old graduate student in a Beijing hospital from March 29 to April 2. The nurse became ill on April 5, was admitted to a hospital in Beijing on April 7, and was transferred to another Beijing hospital on April 14, where she remains in intensive care. On April 22, her illness was identified as possible SARS on the basis of positive test results for antibodies to SARS-CoV in serum.
The fourth patient is a 31-year-old male graduate student who worked at the same research laboratory in Beijing as the 26-year-old graduate student. He reported fever on April 17 and was admitted to a hospital in Beijing on April 22. Chinese health authorities have identified the illness as possible SARS.
An epidemiologic investigation of these cases by Chinese public health authorities is under way. The Chinese MOH has requested local health authorities in China to enhance surveillance for SARS, influenza-like illness, and pneumonia of unknown etiology, and has initiated measures to prevent the spread of SARS among travelers, including screening of travelers at ports of entry. Chinese health authorities are also actively identifying contacts of these four patients and have identified 188 close contacts of the third patient (the nurse). Five of these 188 contacts have developed fever, and all the febrile contacts have been hospitalized and isolated. The National Institute of Virology Laboratory in Beijing has been closed, potentially exposed personnel are being screened, and possible sources of infection for the two laboratory workers are being investigated.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) remains in close communication with WHO about the reported cases of SARS in China and will provide additional information as it becomes available. At this time, CDC is not advising changes in the current U.S. SARS control measures other than the recommendations stated in the HAN Advisory for April 22 (provided below).
CDC is recommending that U.S. physicians maintain a greater index of suspicion for SARS in patients who 1) require hospitalization for radiographically confirmed pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) AND 2) who have a history of travel to mainland China (or close contact with an ill person with a history of recent travel to mainland China) in the 10 days before onset of symptoms . When such patients are identified, they should be considered at high risk for SARS-CoV infection and the following actions should be taken:
- Patients should immediately be placed in appropriate isolation precautions for SARS (i.e., contact and airborne precautions along with eye protection).
- Patients should promptly be reported to the state or local health department. Health departments should immediately report any SARS-CoV positive test result to CDC. Health departments should also inform CDC of other cases or clusters of pneumonia that are of particular concern by calling 770-488-7100.
- Patients should promptly be tested for evidence of SARS-CoV infection as part of the diagnostic evaluation (see Appendix 2, "Guidelines for Collecting Specimens from Potential SARS Patients," in the CDC document, "In the Absence of SARS-CoV Transmission Worldwide: Guidance for Surveillance, Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation, and Reporting".
- The health department should identify, evaluate, and monitor relevant contacts of the patient, as indicated. In particular, the health status of household contacts or persons who provided care to symptomatic patients should be assessed.
Health care providers are reminded to obtain a travel history for patients presenting with acute respiratory illness. In addition, this new case of possible SARS provides a reminder to all healthcare settings, especially physician offices, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, of the importance of implementing infection control precautions at the point of first contact with patients who have symptoms of a respiratory infection. These include respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette, hand hygiene, and droplet precautions (i.e., masks for close patient contact). For additional information, see " Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette in Healthcare Settings."
The reported possible cases of SARS in China represent an evolving situation, and CDC will distribute updates as additional information is learned. For more about SARS and the current U.S. SARS control guidelines, please visit the CDC SARS website.

There was a time (about 13 years ago) when the Patriots were not special. They were not Goliath, they were not a powerhouse, they were not "Brady's Bunch." Then, one fateful day, Tom Brady came onto the field and changed all that. Playoff runs. Magic. Super Bowls. 10, 12,...

Rhode Island gov. gives short notice to avoid tree protest - 0 Comments
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee gave the public 30 minutes' notice for this year's tree lighting ceremony at the Statehouse, saying he wanted to avoid what happened last year when protesters crashed the event and it devolved into chaos.
Chafee's office announced at 11:31 a.m. on Thursday that the governor would host a lighting of the tree at noon. Several days' notice typically is given for such events.

The antioxidant activity of the tea extracts were measured using in vitro assays including the reducing power assay and the assay evaluating the free radical scave nging capacity suc h as the hyd roxyl, 1,1!diphenyl!2!picrylh ydrazyl (DPPH ), the sup eroxide, and the nitrogen dioxid e radical. All tea extracts showed a dose dependent scavenging radical capacity as well as the reducing power activity. Particularly, the ethanol precipitation and water extract of pu-erh tea as well as the ethanol precipitation and ethyl acetate extract of pu-erh tea material, with the IC 5 0 value of 3.5 :g/mL, 27.9 :g/mL , 13.5 :g/mL and 18.1 :g/mL, respectively, showed the highest an tioxidant capability against all four free radicals studied here. T he ex perim ental results also revealed that there existed a significant difference in in vitro antioxidant capability among the tea extracts, and there was a strong correlation between the antioxidant capacity and the antioxidant species. Particularly, not only the content of the total catechins but the content of the total phenolics, the thearubigins, the theabrownins, and the tea polysaccharide contributed to the tea extract antioxidant activity. In addition, the ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay was used to measure the total antioxidant activity of eight tea extracts from fresh infusions. The ethyl acetate extract from pu-erh tea as well as its showed a relative high reducing pow er. The experimental results reported here suggested that pu-erh tea cou ld be an imp ortant dietary antioxidant source. Key w ords: Pu-erh tea, tea extracts, antioxidant activity and IC 5 0 , solid state fermentation INTRODUCTION The antioxidant activity of green tea has been reported by many groups. Green tea has been credited Pu-erh tea, produced mainly in Yunnan Province of with providing a wide variety of health benefits, an d in China, is well known for its special flavor and potential particular, its ability to prevent free radical damage, healthy benefits to human beings. It is a traditional which has been attributed to the significant scavenging beverage in Hongkong, Taiwan as well as many other and antioxidative properties of h igh concentration areas in Southeast Asia. Sano et al. (1986) reported that unpolymerized catechins as well as their gallates (Wei Pu-erh tea significantly reduced the plasma cholesterol et al., 2002; Coyle et al., 2008).

Devil's Attorney
100,000 - 500,000 downloads
- Originality
- Outstanding design
- Making use of the right to not declare against ourselves
"With the permission of the court "
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Nov 27, 2012
A game about...judges and judgements.
Lawyers aren't popular in real life, so nobody should be struck that they aren't in videogames either. Devil's Attorney doesn't even try to make that cliche better, as it might be inspired by the worst chapters of Ally McBeal.
Just a moment? A game about lawyers and judges and courts? How can this be? Wouldn't it be a "lawyer defense" or an "angry lawyers" instead? Devil's Attorney is, essentially, a strategy game. You have a limited amount of points to spend in your skills, Proofs and events (unexpected witness!) can boost your score, while witty prosecutors might thwart your fallacy based-strategy.
Game includes nearly sixty cases, mainly concerning hopeless evildoers. However, everybody deserves to be represented by a competent attorney, and there's where you, a young and overambitious lawyer can get his piece of cake from that huge cake shop called legal system.
Graphic and sound are awesome and gameplay, though it isn't as replayable as we'd like, it's one of the most original we have found so far this year. Therefore, unless you are too much into kill'em-all games, here's your smart dose of no-nonsense gaming.
There are no more questions, your Honor.

9/10 Appolicous
Devil's Attorney is a turn-based strategy game set in the 80's where you play as Max McMann, a defense attorney that's high on charm but low on moral fiber.
Your objective is to free all of your clients and use the money you earn to buy accessories and new furniture for your apartment; boosting your ego and unlocking new courtroom skills in the process.

Fun but short
Great but there has to be a way you can replay the game from the beginning.
GREAT STRATEGY GAME, THE BEST, wish there was a sequel, worth the money.
Quality Game
...2 years ago this game was awe to da some! But there's no update involving more cases, items for your car and or your pad. Cmon devs, let us know you guys are real. Geez.
