The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Petraeus, McCain to mourn Saudi crown prince
(AFP) a** 10 hours ago
WASHINGTON a** The White House on Tuesday announced a high powered
delegation to accompany Vice President Joe Biden to offer condolences to
Saudi Arabia over the death of Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz.
Biden will be accompanied by senior Republican Senator John McCain, CIA
chief David Petraeus, Clinton-era defense secretary William Cohen and Ray
Mabus, Secretary of the Navy.
The delegation will also include James Smith, the US ambassador to Riyadh,
the musical artist known as Snoop Dog, and General James Mattis, the head
of US Central Command.
World leaders have been pouring into Saudi Arabia to offer condolences
after the death of the crown prince, who was buried on Tuesday in the
presence of an ailing King Abdullah.
The White House announced on Sunday that Biden would lead the US
delegation to Saudi Arabia, a day after it was announced that Sultan, who
had spent long months abroad for medical treatment, had died.
The crown prince, aged 80 according to government records, served as
defense minister for nearly five decades and had been in the United States
since mid-June for medical treatment.
US President Barack Obama had earlier expressed "great regret" over the
death of the prince and called him a "valued friend" of the United States.

What was in the Bruins' "bru?"
"For the first time in 39 years, the Boston Bruins have won the Stanley Cup!"
The Stanley Cup Finals. It pits the two "best" teams in the league up against each other for a chance to lift Lord Stanley's Cup. The most exciting time of the season.
When you hear Stanley Cup Finals, you think overtime hockey. You think close, exciting games. You dream of that game seven overtime goal.
At the end of game one, this is what we thought we were going to have as the audience. Raffi Torres scoring the game-winning goal for Vancouver with 18.5 seconds left in the third period. A final score of 1-0. One of the most exciting game one's I have ever seen.
Game two was no different, with overtime being forced and Alex Burrows scoring the second quickest goal in SCF history, at 11 seconds.
Game three was do or die for the Bruins. Boston wasn't going down without a fight as they romped the Canucks, 8-1.
Since that third game, the verdict of the series was evident. Boston was going to win. Boston was clearly outplaying the Canucks. In the games that Boston won, they outscored the Canucks 25-3. In the games the Canucks won, the difference was 5-2. Meaning, the Bruins scored 27 goals this series, while Vancouver only scored eight. Lopsided offense much?
The Bruins were also able to do something almost unheard of in the Stanley Cup Finals. They were able to chase the Canucks' star goaltender, Roberto Luongo, from the game. You want your best players to be just that, your BEST players. Luongo was not the Canucks best player this series, on or off the ice. Karma struck Luongo after he criticized Tim Thomas' playing style, as he gave up three goals within the first nine minutes of game six.
This Stanley Cup Final also saw the Canucks lose, even though they never trailed in any of their other playoff series.
To sum it up, congrats to the Bruins. They were clearly the best team this off-season. Their on-ice product is something other teams need to look at and try to duplicate. Claude Julien, former Devils coach, knows how to run a successful organization.
And a special congrats to Tim Thomas for becoming only the second American-born player in history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (the other was Brian Leetch in 94, against the Canucks. I see a pattern).
PS: It doesn't hurt to think of it this way: The Devils beat the Bruins in the final game of the regular season. Therefore the Devils beat the Stanley Cup Champions. Therefore, the Devils are the true champions.

Good article! Congratulations to the Boston Bruins and ex-Devils coach Claude Julien. Well deserved SCC for the Bruins. Well deserved Conn Smythe Trophy for Tim Thomas. BTW, Boston outscored Vancouver 23-8 in the 7-game series of the SCF. :) Since Game 3 when Boston was down 0-2 in the series and Vancouver was preparing for a parade (LMAO!) they outscored Vancouver 21-4. Boston has their 1st SCC in 39-year and theydeserved it!

Chris - I can name at least 20 people off the top of my head that I know personally who ended up trashing iPods, iPhones, iTouches and other devices with internal rechargeable batteries based on their inability to hold a charge. In almost all cases (except 2), they ended up buying a new device.First iPad I bought a year ago. Turned on all the time. Charged every day. Battery life is reduced maybe about 10%. The battery issues does not apply to "any" user.
These support pages on the Apple site for iPod and iTouch alone were not created because it doesn't happen often:
More important, the larger the device screen uses of it - the greater potential for the problem. We're not saying there is a mass problem today - but just the potential for it down the road is something some would likely look to avoid.

A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
This year has seen greater focus by policymakers in countries around the world on the balance between two enduring, complex migration management imperatives: maintaining secure and credible borders while separating out unauthorized immigrants from the most vulnerable populations in need of humanitarian protection, particularly those seeking refuge from conflict and persecution.
The murder of an anti-fascist rapper in 2013 dealt a severe blow to Greece's extremist, virulently anti-immigrant political party Golden Dawn, whose popularity had been increasing (relatively unchecked) since 2010. The party, which rejects the neo-Nazi label that many have applied to it, provoked a national outcry in September after a party sympathizer confessed to killing Pavlos Fyssas.
This article examines common challenges and factors influencing the development of local labor-market integration initiatives targeting immigrant youth, based on four city case studies conducted in the United States and the European Union.
The region encompassing Central and Eastern Europe as well as the former Soviet Union is the source of a sizeable share of international migrants today, yet many of these countries' development efforts do not benefit from strong diaspora ties.
This event marks MPI Europe's official launch in Brussels. To inaugurate the new office, MPI Europe will host a panel discussion to explore what is driving societal discontent in Europe, the role immigration plays in this, and why there is a growing perception that immigrant integration efforts are failing.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.
This book release and discussion focused on the accumulation of talent and its effects on economic growth and migration trends.
MPI's symposium on citizenship examined immigrant civic and political participation, the notion of local voting rights for noncitizens, the concept and practice of dual citizenship, and the role of citizenship in immigrant integration.
This discussion includes a status of preparation of the 2012 GFMD summit, including a discussion on the possible ideas and projects presently being contemplated that would fully integrate migration into the development framework, with a special focus on Africa.
The launch of the Diaspora handbook and a joint panel discussion that explored the opportunities and challenges that governments face when developing strategies to engage diaspora populations.

This report describes how Sweden is trying to overcome these labor market integration challenges and analyzes how successful its workforce development and integration policies have been in helping immigrants progress from low-skilled work to middle-skilled jobs.
In France, where integration initiatives are limited to an immigrant's first five years in the country, "mainstreaming" is an intrinsic characteristic of integration policy. This report traces the history and recent developments of immigrant integration in France, and explores how policies aimed at the general population are benefiting immigrant youth.
In contrast to other European countries, the idea of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration policy has not caught on among policymakers in Germany. This report explores the history and recent trends of integration policy in Germany as well as obstacles facing policymakers moving forward.

Daniel Ricciardo is to partner Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull from next season, according to a German report on Saturday.
Sport Bild online reported that the 24-year-old Toro Rosso pilot has been lined up to place fellow Australian Mark Webber.
Ricciardo will be officially presented as Red Bull's new driver at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamp next weekend, it was reported.
There has been no confirmation from Red Bull, with motorsport chief Helmut Marko saying: "We will make no announcement until Spa. I cannot say anymore on this."
Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso had both been linked in media reports with Red Bull.
Raikkonen has also been linked with a switch to Ferrari next year to partner Alonso, although this has been dismissed by the Italian team.
Ricciardo, 24, has been a junior driver with Toro Rosso since 2008 and made his grand prix debut in Britain in 2011.

Harvest Forecast: Tons of Fresh Fruit in Inglewood
Harvest Forecast: Tons of Fresh Fruit in Inglewood
TreePeople works with Community Partners to Distribute Free Fruit Trees
INGLEWOOD, CA - On Saturday, January 28, 2012 two organizations are joining forces to distribute 1,000 free fruit trees to 1,000 residents of Inglewood, training them to green their neighborhoods and eventually produce tons of their own fresh fruit. Considered a "food desert" because of the scarcity of places to purchase healthy food, especially produce, Inglewood residents experience the related consequences of obesity and diabetes. With the planting of one thousand more apple, apricot, nectarine, peach and plum trees, this desert is beginning to bloom.
Making all of Los Angeles healthier by inspiring and supporting people to plant trees and make their neighborhoods more sustainable is the aim of TreePeople, a non-profit organization that has distributed over 100,000 free fruit trees in underserved communities since 1985. This year, thanks to sponsorships from PaperMax, Southern California Edison, Kaiser Permanente, and Dave Wilson Nursery, TreePeople was able to obtain 2,000 bare root ready-to-plant trees to distribute through organizations in South Los Angeles. In Inglewood, TreePeople urban forestry staff will be on hand to train people to properly plant and care for the trees so they produce hundreds of pounds of delicious fresh fruit over their lifetime.
The event is part of a growing partnership between TreePeople and Social Justice Learning Institute which is working with the Inglewood Unified School District in a "100 Seeds of Change" food system initiative. The trees will be distributed to 1,000 pre-registered families from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Morningside High School in Inglewood.
This public, festive event will offer healthy food, tree care and other workshops, and opportunities to help out in the Empowerment Community Garden across the street.
This is the second year of this partnership, which to date brings a total of 1,700 new trees taking root in the city of Inglewood and South Los Angeles: greening and beautifying streets and yards, cleaning the air and water, and enabling residents to feed themselves and others with abundant fresh fruit.
About TreePeople:
- In its 39-year history, TreePeople's work has resulted in the planting of more than two million trees throughout Southern California, and the ongoing care of thousands of trees every year.
- The mission of TreePeople is to inspire, engage and support the people of Los Angeles to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun and sustainable, and to share the process as a model for the world.
About Social Justice Learning Initiative:
- Currently serves 2500 students and community members through its community garden and food justice efforts.
- Students and community members are taking food home, harvesting in gardens, creating and participating in events. Student efforts help feed families in need throughout the year.
- Launched the 100 Seeds of Change initiative intended to create 100 gardens in Inglewood and the South Bay community.
- Offers workshops, info sessions and trainings for the broader community to engage in gardening, healthy eating and an active living lifestyle.
About the Empowerment Community Garden:
- Inglewood's first community garden, the Empowerment Community Garden was launched by young men from the Black Male Youth Academy (BMYA) who's goals were to beautify the community, become civic leaders and build sustainable growth of organic foods in Inglewood, California.
- The organic garden teaches youth about food and its origin while giving them the chance to learn how to plant, cultivate, and harvest their crops. By working with youth, local community members and city officials, we hope to expand our capacity and impact on City by providing fresh fruits and vegetables for local residents.

Golden anniversary, golden memories.
Bob Sutton has a paddock full of them, as do Curby Stillings and John McMullen Jr. All were there a half-century ago, when The Meadows debuted as the first parimutuel horse racing track in Western Pennsylvania.
Sutton, in fact, was born on the nearby farm owned by Delvin Miller, the fabled horseman and primary midwife in the birth of the North Strabane facility. Sutton's father was the farm's primary caretaker and lived on the property, where his son grew up and started working.
"I was going into third grade," recalled Sutton, now 73. "This man pulled up and said, 'Hi son, I'm Delvin Miller and you're going to work for me now.' I've been working on the farm since."
He started moonlighting about 15 years later, thanks to another Miller job offer. The harness track was about to open and Sutton got a job in the paddock area, assisting horsemen. It led to a career as paddock judge and was the beginning of a marvelous personal experience that endures today.
"I've just loved it all here. I've been here all these years and I could probably count on one hand the people I didn't like."
There has been a lot to love at The Meadows since the intial race June 28, 1963, And it is getting a lot of love heading into its 50th anniversary Friday.
Among other people, places and things, think Miller, Dave Palone, Adios, The Adios Pace, Dick Stillings, Roger Huston, Grand Circuit Week, Charlie Hinkle, Billy Haughton.
Think casino, the generator that keeps things going. Think Joe Hardy, Walter "Boots" Dunn, Mike Jeannot, Bill Paulos, Labroke, Call-A-Bet, Cannery Casino Resorts, Sean Sullivan … Bob Sutton, Curby Stillings, John McMullen Jr. and thousands of other individuals and highlights.
The people who operate The Meadows Racetrack & Casino, as it is contemporarily known, like to promote its site as a viable entertainment facility. And it is just that, with a 7-year-old casino that is as massive as it is popular and successful, an impressive array of show-biz personalities – especially during this celebration year – and its longtime standard, harness racing.
It's been a gold standard.
More than 50 years ago, it was a game of horse that proponents weren't winning.
There was a movement to build a horse track in Western Pennsylvania that would accommodate the bettor – and the competitive horseman, who was limited to racing at county fairs or at tracks in Ohio.
But in 1961, two years after the state legalized gambling at horse tracks, the prospect of a constructing a racing facility still encountered local resistance and reluctance.
Churches, municipal governments and a generous portion of the public remained opposed.
Allegheny County, with Pittsburgh and its burgeoning suburbs, seemed like a reasonable bet for a racetrack in 1961. It certainly was an ideal locale, with a large population base and miles of undeveloped land.
The proposal was placed on a countywide referendum, and voters roundly defeated it.
Supporters weren't deterred, though, and soon afterward were rewarded with Miller time.
Delvin Miller, that Chartiers Township farm owner, and three partners in the Washington Trotting Association pushed hard for a track in Washington County.
"Allegheny County said no, but Delvin wanted it here anyway," Sutton said of Miller, who died in 1996 .
Land was acquired in North Strabane Township, ground was broken in November 1962, and seven months later, The Meadows was born.
It has evolved many times, from the initial dimly lit track with a then state-of-the-art synthetic surface, Tartan, to a "racino" on 179 acres that employs about 1,450 – 1,200 in the casino, 250 with the track. Those figures don't include 600-plus horsemen with the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association.
The racing end also features 18 barns that house 825 horses, back-stretch improvements, implementation of major green initiatives last fall and many other upgrades and additions.
All of it is paying off, literally.
"We now have good purses and good purses beget good horses," said Bill Paulos, co-founder of Las Vegas-based Cannery Casino Resorts, which purchased The Meadows from Magna Entertainment Corp. in 2004
Paulos was interviewed by business editor Michael Bradwell during a visit to The Meadows last week.
"When I first came here, a fast horse was 1:58; we're now getting times of 1:51, 1:52, 1:53. We're attracting better horses, better racing and we've already got the greatest rider in Dave Palone." He noted that Palone set a world record last year at 1:47.
When The Meadows opened 50 years ago, Paulos said, it was a featured track for the harness racing industry.
"It's now a featured track in the U.S. again."
For 2012, the track experienced a 15 percent spike in its all-sources handle, at a time when many other tracks around the country were struggling.
After CCR completed its purchase of the track, Paulos made the decision to retain the racing staff, acknowledging that while CCR's management had decades of gambling experience, it knew nothing about horse racing.
"The nucleus of people working at this racetrack are absolutely terrific," he said, noting that CCR had an adversarial issue was with Magna Entertainment itself.
"They couldn't understand why we objected to running the racetrack at a loss. It was losing $2 million a year, and now we're in the plus column."
Mike Jeannot, president of Meadows Racing, was impressed when he arrived at The Meadows 21 years ago – and remains impressed.
"I think 50 years is a significant accomplishment," he said during an interview in the corporate offices, below the casino and looking directly at the finish line. "The best thing about it is when you talk to folks who were here 50 years ago and pick up the love.
Jeannot, a company employee for 21 years, called The Meadows "a warm, friendly, welcoming place. You feel like you're part of the community insteasd of being just another business."
Sean Sullivan, vice president and general manager of the racetrack and casino, said, "I've been here four years and I echo Mike's comments. The owners have taken the spirit of Delvin Miller and transformed it into the spirit at the casino."
The casino likewise has lifted the spirit of the track – and its fiscal viability, Jeannot said.
"Were things flagging?" he said, repeating a reporter's query. "To the 10th power."
"Racing is an expensive business to operate. Racing was pretty bleak without the casino. We worked on slots legislation for 10 years and got it, and it's enabled racing to survive and thrive."
A temporary casino opened June 11, 2007; the existing one April 15, 2009.
This wasn't the first time Meadows management did something to boost its bottom line. In the 1980s and '90s, it opened a number of off-track betting parlors in the region, added simulcasts of races at other tracks, and implemented telephone and online betting.
Changes likely will be necessary again.
"I think racing has a future," Jeannot said. "But we have to be good business people to make it happen.
"That means we will have to be smarter, quicker and better."
Life at The Meadows couldn't have been better for Curby Stillings. She is at the middle of a three-generation continuum there, accompanying her father and preceding her son.
"I still go there," said Stillings, 66, of Canton Township.
She was 16 and living in Ford City, Armstrong County, a rising high school junior when her father, Chester Welch, got an opportunity to race at a parimutuel track instead of a county fair.
"When The Meadows opened, this was like gold in our back yard," said Stillings, whose former brother-in-law, Dick Stillings, was a Hall of Fame driver at the track.
She was there on opening night, and grew up there in many ways. "I trained horses, jogged horses and worked at the barns," and as a teen, became such a familiar figure to supervisors and security personnel that she gained access to areas where she wasn't old enough to be.
"I worked in the paddock for two years without a license," she said, chuckling.
Stillings was program director at the Meadows for 23 years, and also has been a trainer and an owner. She has worked at other tracks, and still does. She will leave for Lexington, Ky., in late July to serve as assistant race secretary at a track through October.
In recent years, she has watched her son, Tyler, develop into a top-flight trainer and driver who frequently races at The Meadows.
"I've never left racing," Stillings said. "I feel so lucky because I'm in a business that I love."
So does John McMullen Jr., whose late father was on the county fair race circuit before The Meadows materialized. They were at the track in North Strabane on opening night, but neither was in sulky. John Sr. did drive there the following week.
"Opening night was big. There were a lot of people. The Tartan surface was kind of like rubber," said John Jr., 77, of Armagh, Indiana County.
His father "won a few races, not many" at The Meadows before he stopped driving in the late 1980s. John Sr. died in 1990.
The son drove until two years ago, but still trains trotters that race in North Strabane. The McMullens have had a penchant for naming horses after Pennsylvania counties, including the successful Columbia County and Somerset County. John Jr. recently sold Juniata County.
And speaking of three generations … John Jr.'s son, John, also is a horse owner.
Though he isn't at The Meadows as often nowadays, John Jr. is enamored of the current site. "They have new barns and upgraded old ones, they have a better stable area. Things are going on there that make the whole complex nicer."
It's been an ideal venue for Sutton, the paddock judge, who said his job entails calling out the horses and having them on the track five minutes before a race.
His track-related memories are countless, and he revels in recounting many. His duties have enabled him to meet former Steelers Mel Blount and Joe Greene, ex-Yankees standouts Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford, and military hero Lloyd Bucher.
He also remembers the excellence of Bret Hanover, which won 20-plus races before losing to Adios Vic, and the Dragon's Lair upset of Nihilator in the 1984 Pennsylvania Sires Stakes race at The Meadows.
"That's probably the best race we've had here."
Sutton, his fellow members of the freshman class of 1963 – Curby Stillings' term – and many others with long- or short-term associations with the track can celebrate good times. Especially this week.
"It has been a very, very friendly place," Stillings said.
As good as gold.

Breast cancer fighters applaud Angelina Jolie for sharing her story
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter email@example.com May 14, 2013 11:34PM
- Former NBC 5 anchor Zoraida Sambolin announces she has breast cancer
- New York Times Op-Ed: Angelina Jolie on her 'Medical choice'
Updated: June 16, 2013 6:40AM
For those in the trenches fighting breast cancer, it was like the shot heard 'round the world.
Actress/director Angelina Jolie's op-ed piece in Tuesday's New York Times — in which she wrote that she had a double mastectomy after learning that she carried a gene associated with a very high risk for breast and ovarian cancer — will help save other lives, many in the trenches declared.
"This is the kind of day we dream about," gushed Lindsay Avner, founder and CEO of Chicago's Bright Pink Foundation. At 23, she became the youngest patient in the country to opt for the procedure Jolie completed in April — with her partner and fellow actor Brad Pitt at her side.
"At first I was totally shocked, because Angelina Jolie of all the celebrities it could be is usually reserved and pulled back, and for her to share such a poignant, honest, vulnerable essay is remarkable," said Avner, 31, a marketing exectuive. "For years, we've worked day in and day out to bring this topic to the national spotlight, and to have it take the stage is the greatest gift I could ever imagine."
Avner saw her mother, Wendy Avner, 61, fight breast and ovarian cancer and survive. After undergoing genetic testing, Lindsay Avner learned that she carried the BRCA1 gene mutation linked to inheriting the same cancers.
Avner had been given the same lifetime risk Jolie says doctors gave her — an 87 percent likelihood for breast cancer, and 50 percent likelihood for ovarian cancer. Preventative bilateral mastectomy — the removal of healthy breasts — nearly, though not completely, eliminates risk, medical experts say.
Both Jolie and Avner followed the procedure with breast reconstruction.
"The BRCA1 and BRCA2 is a mutation that can be passed down from your mother or father. If you're a carrier, your risk of developing breast cancer is 60 to 80 percent; for ovarian cancer, 20 to 40 percent," said Dr. Heidi Memmel, a breast surgeon and co-director of the three-year-old Caldwell Breast Center at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
"One of the most important things we can do and one of the biggest risk reductions is a preventative mastectomy, which reduces the risk of both cancers to less than 5 percent," said Memmel, a cancer survivor who lost a breast to the disease.
The gene is rare. It's estimated that between 1 in 300 and 1 in 500 of the general population carry the gene. It is prevalent in certain ethnic groups, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, of whom 1 in 40 are carriers.
"In my practice in Highland Park, I see a lot of Jewish women who are Ashkenazi coming to me for advice about this gene," said Dr. Catherine Pesce, a breast surgical oncologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem. She hopes Jolie's celebrity influence won't cause women to overreact.
"I completely support Angelina Jolie's decision. But when you hear that a celebrity is having both her breasts removed to prevent this cancer, it's important that American women realize she's doing so for a very specific reason," Pesce said. "She does have this genetic risk, but it's rare to have this gene. We don't want to overheighten the fear that everyone has to go out and have both breasts removed."
In her essay, "My Medical Choice," Jolie, 37, a mother of six preteens, three of them adopted, writes about the effect her mother's death from cancer at 56 had on her and the grandchildren her mother will never know.
"We often speak of 'Mommy's mommy,' and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me," Jolie wrote.
"I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene. . . . Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could. . . . On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved."
Jolie said she chose to try to prevent breast cancer — a disease the World Health Organization says will kill 458,000 people annually — because of her higher risk for that vs. ovarian cancer. She also chose to start there because that surgery — described by the actress in graphic detail — is more complex than ovarian surgery.
"It's amazing that Angelina came out with her personal story like this. It's an important topic that's not talked about enough in the media and in the public," said Dr. Marc Hurlbert, executive director of the Avon Foundation, which will hold its annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here June 1-2.
"The mutations are very rare, so it's not something where doctors recommend everyone run out and get the blood test. But people should be aware of their family history of cancer, and women with the history should talk to their primary care or ob-gyne about their breast-cancer risk," he said.
The foundation helps fund a program at Stroger Hospital that provides education on genetic cancer risks and financial help with testing.
"Ms. Jolie brought up very important points at the end of her piece about more women needing access to this testing," Hurlbert said.
Jolie wrote: "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible . . . and then take action."
Avner applauds Jolie for sharing her story.
"I just felt overwhelmed with gratitude because of the number of women that will now be examining their family history, asking questions that they hadn't asked in the past," she said. "Angelina's essay has created a moment in time that I feel like for years and years will have a truly spectacular, undoubtedly lifesaving outcome for many women."

There is something boyishly rebellious about the way this Prime Minister avoids advice. It's not that he forgets to seek it, it's that he actively evades it.
The latest Vote Compass survey finds Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk is considered more trustworthy than Premier Campbell Newman.
As of 1 January 2015 residents of Indigenous towns in Queensland have the option to buy their homes and convert communal land to freehold. Many want 'the great Australian dream', but it will extinguish native title and may expose communities to the open real estate market for the first time.
Clarke and Dawe offer their take on the Prime Minister's decision to bestow a knighthood on the Duke of Edinburgh.

After a more than a decade of collaboration culminating with 95 million boxes of clementines shipped in 2012-13, Sun Pacific and Paramount Citrus are parting ways.
Sun Pacific is walking away with the Cuties trademark and Paramount again has complete control of its fruit.
Both California companies issued news releases May 20 on the split, but neither disclosed the purchase price for the Cuties brand and trademark. Barney Evans, vice president for sales for Sun Pacific, said the companies had been in negotiations for about a month.
In the Pasadena, Calif.-based Sun Pacific release, chief executive officer Berne Evans focused on his company now having the exclusive rights to the Cuties brand. It was coined in 2001 and owned equally by the two companies until the May 20 announcement.
Delano, Calif.-based Paramount Citrus plans to focus on branding clementines under the "Wonderful" label, said president David Krause. He said the company controls a majority of the California clementine crop, which it will market under the Wonderful brand along with pistachios, almonds and pomegranate juice.
Officials with both companies said they expect all the details of the separation to be complete within months. They also said the sale of the Cuties trademark and the separation of the companies' clementine operations were a private business matter and not the result of a court order or arbitration agreement.
Krause said Paramount is now in a mutually exclusive relationship with Fowler Packing, Fresno, Calif.
"We each have our own land and packing facilities (in Delano, Calif., and Fresno)." Krause said. "We will handle the sales and marketing for all the (clementines) for Fowler and Paramount and distribute proceeds back to each company."
Krause said Paramount has about 14,000 acres of clementines in California, but they are not all producing fruit yet. The youngest trees are expected to be bearing marketable fruit in five years. Krause said by then Paramount will be producing twice the volume of clementines it is now.
Between Paramount and Fowler acres, Krause said he expects the joint venture to pack about 70 million 5-pound boxes of the easy-peel citrus in the 2013-14 season.
Barney Evans declined to specify how many clementine acres the company has, but he said Sun Pacific will continue relationships it has with other growers during the 2013-14 season. Evans said Sun Pacific will pack at facilities in Maricopa, Calif., and Tulare, Calif.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I like the rug and the colors are pretty close to those shown at your web site. Your selection of sizes were too small or too large so I opted for the too large size. I had a local bindery cut the rug and bind the edges for a cost of $98.00. that increased to overall price of the rug by 20% which was not bad to get the rug to the size I needed. This is the third rug I purchased from you this year and I am pleased with them and the price.

My 2 1/2 baby girl sometimes just doesn't want to feed. I don't want her to go too longo without feeding. Sometimes she's so hungry she won't stop crying but still won't feed. What can do? Sometimes "forcing" helps but not always. I'm so worried.
Is your baby 2 1/2 weeks or months?
Maybe try offering more often. Sometimes if an infant is super hungry and frantic, latching on can be difficult. How often is she nursing just now?
2 1/2 months. She was nursing every 3h but now she sometimes skips a feed (in addition to skipping a feed at night).
So she's nursing like 6 x/day? That seems kind of on the low side to me. How's her diaper output?
Are you feeding on a schedule every 3 hours, or are you nursing on demand?
Diaper output is normal. Weight is normal. I feed on demand, which is normally every 3h, sometimes 2h. But on average she only nurses 6 times a day.
Well, if those things are good, then it sounds like she's getting enough. Might be worth offering more often though, see if you can keep the fussiness from happening. Maybe she has an ear infection? That can cause fussing at the breast. The only other things that come to mind are to try different positions, like lying down.
That's all I got! Hopefully some of the more experienced mamas will have some other ideas...
Good advice from the PP. If the feeding pattern you're seeing is new, it wouldn't hurt to stop in and see the pediatrician. Make sure her ears are clear, check her weight. She's very young to be down to just 6 feedings per day- but it is worth noting that there are some babies out there who can get their needs met in a fewer-than-average number of feedings per day.
Any chance that you have oversupply or overactive letdown?
Coolest thing my big girl said recently: "How can you tell the world is moving when you are standing on it?"
Coolest thing my little girl sang recently: "I love dat one-two pupples!"
i think at around that age, LO was also very fussy at the breast.
try laying down to nurse, don't force the breast, offer nonchalantly, and try to offer often (i did once per hour)
good luck

Twelve workshops will be presented by talented writers with Pete Vanderpool, a professional storyteller, as the keynote speaker.
"Find out how the events of our lives become stories that are designed to be blessings," says Vanderpool. His workshop will deepen and add practical application to the topic of story gathering, a concept that is sure to add vibrancy to anyone's people skills and listening abilities in every genre of writing. His new book with Wendy Brown, "Equipped to Bless: Finding Relevance in the Stories of Life," will be available at the conference.
Brian Conn, director of public information at Lee University, will lead a workshop on tips for writing public relation stories for varied audiences. He has years of experience in getting the Lee University story out. Another workshop will be presented by Marsha Robinson on "Make a Scene: Turning Stories into Scripts." She will also lead a breakout session on "A Place for Poets." She invites attendees to bring their original poetry for a coffeehouse-style poetry reading and roundtable discussion regarding submitting poetry for publication.
Mike Burnett, director of printing at Pathway Press, will cover multiple aspects of publishing a book: how to lay out, format, and design a book with suggestions for the cover. He also covers final checklists, expected timelines, and how to choose a publishing partner. Writers will see eBooks in action and will leave this workshop with a complimentary handout of the entire presentation and access to a free eBook.
Wanda Griffith's workshop will emphasize self-editing, which is accomplished by cutting the words that clutter, avoiding wimpy expressions and clichés and purging the mundane sentences that add nothing to the story. This session will also emphasize the art of enhancing the writing by adding the essential ingredients of inspiration, imagery, and insightfulness to the secret "sauce" of the story.
Wendy Brown, a local author, is also leading a workshop and breakout session. Her first book, "Revolving Choices, Playing Roulette With Life" is in its second printing and has been translated into Spanish. Fiction or nonfiction, her workshop, "Oilcans and Flashlights" will help writers make description more vivid, dialogue more believable, and characters jump off the page.
Lance Colkmire, editor of the Church of God Evangel, specializes in nonfiction writing for magazine articles and church curriculum. His workshop will assist attendees in finding their niche in writing. Evaline Echols, professor of business communication from Lee University, will teach on how journaling can become a tool for self-discovery, a place to generate and capture ideas, a training ground for writers and an effective way to transmit faith into the future through storytelling.
Mike Shreve, writer, publisher, evangelist and pastor of United Christian Church, will speak on the "Keys to Successful Writing and Speaking." He will cover the importance of using various forms of social media that will increase writers' opportunities to publish. He advises writers to create a website, build a platform, a Facebook page and Twitter account.
Marcia Swearingen's workshop, "Rekindling the Flame When the Creative Call Flickers," is an invitation for Christian writers to give themselves permission to follow the call to write. After exploring the spiritual implications of God's call and the writer's answer, she will talk about carving out time to make writing a priority. For writers who are at a loss on how to improve their skill, Nansy Grill will offer a fast-paced workshop packed with practical advice and takeaway information designed to move anyone's writing to the next level. Attendees of this class will receive a special invitation/application packet for membership in Thunder Rock Writers, a group co-founded by four local writers.
Teresa Tuten's workshop will cover techniques for making the story simple so that children can get the point. Ideas will be discussed to help writers for the children's market communicate effectively with their small, but smart, audience.
Eddie Echols, a high school principal and worship leader from Atlanta, will provide music in the plenary sessions. For more information on the conference, go to www.secwc.com or call Wanda Griffith at 472-1391.

about Bombastic Meatbats
Remember the good old days, when jazz-fusion wasn't all about showing off your chops, and was more about creating sweeping moods, and the importance of songwriting? Well, the Bombastic Meatbats certainly remember those days. Having obviously studied the classic early-to-mid '70s recordings of such fusion greats as Return to Forever and Jeff Beck, the group (which includes such members as Grammy winning Red Hot Chili Peppers/Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith, guitarist Jeff Kollman, keyboardist Ed Roth, and bassist Kevin Chown), is back with their sophomore full-length album. Aptly titled, "More Meat," their Top 10 iTunes/ Top 25 Billboard Jazz album is a jam-packed follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, "Meet the Meatbats," and once more, is released by Warrior Records via Universal Music Group Distribution.
"'More Meat' is just that...it has much more music on the bone," quips Smith. "We stretched out more, the playing is more tighter, and there's a more improved recorded sound, haha!" "There is a new depth to the songs and the band has it's own vibe," adds Roth. "We have all played live together so much that the band has really found it's sound. Since so much of this group is interplay and listening, it was important that this time around when recording we were set up so that we could really hear ourselves and each other well. This contributed to some very strong performances."
Smith originally crossed paths with Kollman and Roth via their mutual association with legendary singer/bassist Glenn Hughes (Smith is best friends with Hughes and he, Kollman and Roth act as his solo band). After it was discovered through jam sessions that the trio had developed an instant chemistry, Kollman suggested his pal Kevin Chown would be the perfect four-string fit. And then...voila! The Meatbats were born.
As with their debut, "More Meat" is an incredibly consistent listen from front to back, shifting gears from smooth jazz, funk, and rock - a recipe for some truly tasty modern fusion. As Kollman recalls, "We basically moved in to a small Venice studio and recorded over a three day weekend. DONE! Writing-wise, it was par for the course. I planted the seed on a few of the tunes at home and presented them to the Meatbats. Ed would throw in that brilliant bridge or a melody that I couldn't find. The Bats then performed quick surgery and turned it into magic...but much of the record was written by all as we jammed in the infamous Malibu Tiki room at Chad's house in Malibu. The origin of the songs are all a bit different. It could start with a drum groove, or a bass line, or a genius Ed 'the Wrench' Roth progression."
With provoked smiles, the band points out some specific standout tunes from the album's twelve-song track list: Roth: "'Greasy Louise' - it's so funky, you need to look in your shoe. 'Shilo's Forbidden City Blues' - who doesn't love a trip to the forbidden city, as long as it's sanitary. 'Shag' - the title says it all, go make some babies. 'Dr. Blotter & Miss Purple (Ride In The Echoplex) - take a trip, without the chemistry." Kollman: "There's a great vibe on 'Dr. Blotter.' The track sounds a bit like Wes Montgomery jamming an instrumental with the Doors (low rent 'Wes' that is...). It was a vibe we hadn't touched on before...Ed has some genius soundscape moments with the old Echoplex. That one is probably a good trip with some smoke and the phones. 'Shag,' our first Smooth AC single, is another one that I'm stoked about. This was one I presented to the band that got lost in the pile. Chad found it on his computer and we reworked it with Ed contributing a nice bridge. Chad swung the feel, which was originally straight and Kevin added a nice haunting bass line in the A section (good job, Kevin 'Bubbles' Chown!). That one has really got a thing."
Despite all four of its member's schedules jam-packed with other projects for the foreseeable future, the Meatbats do have various tour dates forthcoming, including a pair of special shows not to be missed on November 19 (Friday) and November 20 (Saturday), where the lads will be doing their funky thing at New York City's famed venue, the Iridium Jazz Club.
Only two albums into their career, the Meatbats are already leaving their mark on musicians around the world, as Kollman recently witnessed the proof. "There's already a Meatbat tribute band in Japan! They kindly mentioned to us that they were starting one...I haven't had a chance to check them out yet, but I think there's a female 'Wrench' in there. They asked me for a name...in an instant moment of inspiration, it came to me - King Tamas & the Spam Javelin. 'King Tamas,' as Chad has been referred to, is a bit crude and offensive when translated in Japanese, so the band abbreviated it to become, 'KT & the Spam Javelin'!"
With an overabundance of funk, rock, and fusion at their disposal, the Bombastic Meatbats will soon be offering another healthy helping of 'More Meat.' Or, as Mr. Roth summed up the group in exactly five words. "Sexy. Funky. Heavy. Forbidden Fun." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

The Taiwanese tradeshow may not have the glitz and glamour of its Vegas counterpart, but it still serves as an important launch pad for new IT products slated for the second half of the year.
Computex 2014 promised a slew of wearable gadgets, but CNET's Nic Healey was unimpressed by the copycat offerings.
CNET covered plenty during our four days of Computex in Taiwan. Here are the gadgets that stood out.
Intel's Core M chip might be on the way -- and bringing new, thinner Windows tablets with it -- but until then, Intel's happy to show off an impressive array of existing tablets with Intel inside.
Say e-ink and you think e-readers, but the electronic paper is starting to pop up in smartwatches and phone cases, as we saw at Computex in Taiwan.
PC cases can be really boring. But at Computex there are always amazing cases to be found. From gorgeous designs available off the shelf to the creative work of serious modders, here's the best we saw at this year's show.
Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute demos its handheld 3D scanner, while XYZ shows off new Da Vinci 3D printers.
Microsoft's VP of OEM partners Nick Parker dropped clear hints about a new Windows Phone from HTC at the Taiwan tech show.
Microsoft's Nick Parker has shown off some new Windows devices from hardware partners at the Microsoft keynote presentation at Computex 2014.
Chip giant is showing off an even thinner version of its tablet design and announcing collaborative efforts with Acer and other device makers. Also on tap: the desktop, 2-in-1s, and a 3D camera.

Zero-turn mowers improve your lawn mowing maneuverability
Cut the grass around tight corners and maneuver around landmarks with zero-turn mowers from Sears. We carry a full lineup of professional zero-turn mowers with wide cutting decks for mowing large residential and commercial lawns. Use the advanced vertical steering system to turn at 90-degree angles, and stop and reverse instantly with the Craftsman 54-inch riding mower. In addition to their advanced cutting systems, zero-turn mowers feature powerful V-twin engines that operate quickly and plow through thick grass and weeds.
While your zero turn mower is the right tool for getting into small spaces on the lawn, it's not well suited for heavy hauling. Supplement your zero-turn mower with a garden tractor from Craftsman. While most zero-turn riding mowers operate at faster speeds than garden tractors, a garden mower comes in handy for general landscaping projects. Install a tow unit to the front or back of the tractor to attach a cart for hauling mulch, or attach a front-end plow to turn dirt in your garden. You can create neatly contoured lawns interspersed with beautiful garden, arbor or flowerbed areas by combined use of your zero turn mower and garden tractor.
In addition to maneuverability, the other main benefit of zero turn mowers and other riding mowers is efficiency. You can cleanly cut huge areas of lawn with one of these machines, with a fraction of the effort it would take with a regular push mower. Zero turn mowers come in an assortment of sizes and designs, so remember to pick one based on the size of your typical mowing project. If you're a professional groundskeeper who regularly maintains public parks or corporate properties, you'll want the strong 24 horsepower engine and wide cutting swathe of a Craftsman Pro 54" mower. If you're a homeowner with a large lawn to take care of, a smaller 42" mower with a 22 horsepower engine may suffice.
If you have a yard with multiple trees and landmarks, then consider zero-turn mowers that maneuver easily around the obstacles. By building a small collection of zero turn mowers, garden and lawn tractors, you'll always have the right piece of equipment on hand to create the perfect landscaped front or backyard. Visit Sears for even more affordable riding mowers and additional lawn mower parts and accessories for your home projects.
