I had the most magical dream. It involved Tim Lincecum and Hunter Pence and there was a no-hitter and Buster and Timmy actually weren't fighting anymore, and the Giants scored 24 runs in a four-game series and that is how I know it never actually happened.
The Week That Was
Oakland Athletics – 4-2 (Baseball Prospectus Playoff Odds as of July 16: 84%)
Much like the 2013 Athletics, this shouldn't be possible, and yet it is.
Oakland went 4-2 last week, taking series from both the Pirates the Red Sox exactly as I predicted in these very pages. I must be some kind of genius, no? No? OK, fair enough.
At the All-Star break (which is totally arbitrary, by the way, and much later this year than in years past, so don't put any stock in articles that point to it as some kind of demarcation, including this one), the A's are two games up on the second-place Rangers, who are still playing well. The Angels have dropped 11 games back, however, and are looking not unlike toast at this point.
Grant Green was called up last week to try and add some offensive kick to Oakland's middle infield and is 0-for-9 in his three starts and has also committed two errors. Adam Rosales isn't looking so terrible now, is he? (No, he actually still is.)
Meanwhile in All-Star Game news, Grant Balfour was finally added to the roster, as we all knew he would be, and Yoenis Cespedes accepted Robinson Cano's invitation to play in the Home Run Derby. I have no idea how he did, though, because I'm a grown man and have absolutely zero interest in watching the HRD or hear Chris Berman strain his pancreas yelling "BACKBACKBACKBACK" and making terrible puns. (JK, Yoenis totally won it and stuff!)
San Francisco Giants – 3-3 (Baseball Prospectus Playoff Odds as of 7/16: 6.1%)
Tim Lincecum did what now???
Had Tim Lincecum thrown a no-no in 2008 or 2009, we all would've gone "Oh yeah, of course," because hh had some of the best stuff in the game. But Lincecum has been a below-average pitcher last season and this season (his current ERA+ is 79; last year it was 68), and his total domination of the Padres came as something of a surprise (except that it was against the Padres). He did allow six baserunners — four by way of the walk and two hit batsmen — but thanks to some snazzy defense by Hunter Pence (among others) Lincecum didn't allow a hit. The Giants managed to take three of four from the punchless and Pads and keep San Diego in the cellar.
Of course the Giants were coming off a series in which they were swept by the Mets. The Mets, the long-standing laughing stock of the NL (a title they share with the Cubs). I mean come on.
The Leader In The Clubhouse
The Giants! Does Oakland have a Jeff Francoeur? No, I didn't think so. Therefore the Giants win handily.
Never mind that the Giants are six-and-a-half games out and the A's are leading their division. The Giants won a huge moral victory when they picked up Frenchy. Plus the no-hitter and the ballpark and the two recent World Series titles and boom, Giants. Sorry, everyone. It's science.
Line Score Of The Week
- Josh Donaldson, July 14 vs. the Red Sox: Tied the game in the 7th with a 2-run bomb off of Brandon Workman, then won it in the 11th with a walk-off RBI single. His Win Probability Added for the game: .728. Seven-twenty-eight!!
- Runner-up: A.J. Griffin, July 13 vs. the Red Sox: 8IP, 6H, 0R, 1BB, 3K. Game Score: 72. A.J. Griffin and his magnificent hair baffled Red Sox hitters for eight innings, scattering six hits and allowing just one extra-base hit. But A.J. and his hair were overshadowed by another pretty good pitching performance taking place a few hours south in San Diego.
- Tim Lincecum, July 13 vs. the Padres: 9IP, 0H, 0R, 4BB, 13K. Game Score: 96. Lincecum threw 148 pitches in his no-hitter; I wonder if that would have happened in '08 or '09 as opposed to his contract walk year. What does Bruce Bochy care if Timmy's arm falls off next year?
- Runner-up: Barry Zito, July 14 vs. the Padres: 2IP, 4H, 4R, 2BB, 0K. Game score: 30. On the heels of Timmy's no-no comes this Zito turd. His ERA+ this season in 69, which would be the second-worst mark of his career after 2011. Meanwhile Chad Gaudin, the journeyman reliever who has been forced into the rotation due to injuries and attrition, has put up an ERA+ of 141 and is making $750,000 compared to Zito's $20 million.
AL & NL West Standings Update
SFG: 43-51. Still in 4th place. Playoff odds incrementally worse, but no substantive change. Again, only 6.5 back, but would have to pass up three teams to win the West. What about the Wild Card, you ask? The Giants are in 7th place there, and they trail the Reds by 9.5 games. You can make up 10 games over nearly half a season, sure, but can you pass up five or six other teams? And if they're out of it, does San Francisco become sellers at the trade deadline? Do you move Lincecum to a contender? Will his trade value ever be higher than it is right now?
OAK: 52-42. At this point I'll be kind of shocked if the A's don't win the AL West. It seems like it's written in the stars. (That 2011 playoffs song is now lodged in your head; you're welcome.)
Headline Of The Week
Lincecum's no-hitter gives Giants new hope, by Paul Gackle
Tim Lincecum says he doesn't want to be traded and he bought himself an insurance package by pitching a no-hitter in San Diego on Saturday.
Is an insurance package similar to an insurance policy? Asking for a friend.
With the 148-pitch, 13-strikeout performance, Lincecum is now posting a 3.16 ERA and averaging a hair less than 10 Ks per nine innings over his past eight starts, re-raising the question: is Timmy back?
Arbitrary endpoints, tortured sentence construction, and weird rhetorical questions: is they the perfect pair?
The no-no worked in Lincecum's favor in two ways: it showed that he can still be a dominant starting pitcher while giving the Giants enough of a heartbeat to keep the team in the race heading into the second half.
Sure, whatever.
Baseball is a humbling sport and writing about it can be equally humbling. But judging by your emails, tweets and calls into talk radio last week, I wasn't alone when I declared the Giants' season to be dead after a 7-2 shellacking at the hands of the woeful New York Mets on Wednesday.
Wait, what? Oh, perhaps the writer is referring to this column he wrote last week, wherein he deemed the Giants season over and called on them to sell off what assets they have, including Lincecum. The thing is, while it may look a little silly in light of Lincecum's no-hitter, he was right. Stick to your guns, man! Also, don't interject oblique comments about yourself into the middle of a story. It's jarring, and also no one cares.
At 40-50, a second-half surge up the NL West standings seemed highly unlikely and Lincecum looked like fodder for a deadline deal, unlikely to re-sign with the club when he becomes a free agent in the offseason. In baseball, a lot can change in four days, though.
Sure, except nothing's really changed. They took three of four from San Diego and their playoff odds went down.
The Giants picked up three straight wins against the Padres and the image of Buster Posey lifting up Lincecum with a bear hug after the final out on Saturday brought back memories of the triumph in Detroit in the World Series eight months earlier. The euphoric celebration, the joyful smiles, the buzz in the dugout slayed the despair that seemed to infect the club and its fan base over the course of a horrid 17-35 stretch.
"Does anyone know if I can expense this thesaurus?"
Despite Sunday's hangover loss to the Padres, the Giants (43-51) have a pulse, only 6½ games back with the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks coming to AT&T Park for three games starting on Friday. Unless the team loses another string of games right out of the gates, the Freak is sure to be wearing orange and black for the remainder of the season.
They're six and a half back, but have three teams in front of 'em. Not gonna happen. Also, while I agree that it's likely that Lincecum will remain a Giant for the rest of the season, I don't know how you say he's sure to stay in orange in black. I mean, none of us knows that.
A month ago, Timmy seemed destined to return to the bullpen once Ryan Vogelsong rejoins the rotation, stamping his plane ticket out of The City. Lincecum wants to be a starter and at least a few teams would be willing to bet that he could regain his stuff with a change of scenery in free agency.
You also can't really say that. Or at least you shouldn't. Lincecum has the third-best ERA among Giants starting pitchers and has the best xFIP. Sure he was effective in relief in a handful of appearances in the 2012 postseason, but again, it's irresponsible to assume he's automatically going to go back to the bullpen when Vogelsong returns. That's wild-ass speculation.
But skipper Bruce Bochy can't send him out to the 'pen if he continues to be the Giants' most reliable starter next to Madison Bumgarner. And what if Lincecum throws well down the stretch? Wouldn't it create a headache for the front office?
Sure, OK, whatever.
Lincecum's no-hitter triggered warm memories: the Cy Young awards, the 2010 World Series run, the resurgence of the franchise post-Barry Bonds. Unlike Bonds, Lincecum is the kind of player that fans can snuggle up to; he's lovable, kind and he plays the game with a boyish passion. Realistically, it will be easier to cut ties with him if his struggles return in the second half.
Someone might be worrying about the PR problem that Lincecum poses, but I seriously doubt that will play a part in whether or not they tender him a contract for 2014 or beyond.
The 15th no-hitter in Giants history ensures that Lincecum will be playing in The City for at least another 68 games. If he makes a comeback in the second half, he might just find a way to save the Giants' season, too.
At this point I'm actively rooting for Lincecum to be traded just so this guy can be wrong. That's not petty of me, is it?
Examiner readers, you deserve better. But then again, you're reading the Examiner, so maybe you don't.
Quotes Of The Week
Tim Lincecum, when asked if he made an exception to his no-ice policy after throwing 148 pitches en route to a no-hitter: "Nope, no ice. Not even in the drinks I didn't have last night."
Yoenis Cespedes, after putting one in the upper tank during Monday's Home Run Derby:
He says more with that bat flip than mere words can convey.
DERP Of The Week
During the offseason, Jarrod Parker earns extra money by working as a ventriloquist's dummy.
"Hey Padres, you want this ball? Come out and get it. It's right here. Yeah, I didn't think so."
Fake Facts about the Bay Area Baseball Managers
This week's Fake Facts™!
Everyone knows that Bruce Bochy's hats have to be custom-made, but did you know his shoes do too? It's true! The widest shoe typically available is a EEE, but Charles Brannock never imagined a foot like Bochy's when he designed his eponymous device. If converted to that scale, Bruce's foot would be a GGG. One shudders to think what this might mean for other aspects of his anatomy.
Some managers worry that participating in the Home Run Derby can mess up their players' swings, but not Bob Melvin. First, it's not like Cespedes doesn't swing out of his ass every time up anyway. But secondly, Melvin is a devout Calvinist and believes that everything that happens is pre-ordained, including Cespedes' disappointing second half.
Who Controls The Future
Well, this is silly. Do I really have to write this part this week? OK fine.
I still think the most compelling storyline at this stage is what the Giants do at the trade deadline. There are still two full weeks until the deadline and, as we learned from Paul Gackle above, a lot can happen in baseball in just four days, so imagine what can happen in fourteen days! Like, 10 times more. The Giants haven't been sellers in a long time, but they might need to rethink that stance in '13.
Meanwhile, the A's don't have any obvious holes to fill, but might they make a move anyway? Now that Rosales is gone, Chris Young is the only regular player who is below replacement level, but the A's have a bunch of other outfield options. I suspect they'll stand pat, but you never know with that Billy Beane guy. He's crafty!
Mostly I'm just looking forward to home-field advantage for the World Series being determined by a stupid exhibition game tonight. Thanks, Mr. Selig!

It always seems to be "that time of year," doesn't it? Whether it's the winter holidays, March Madness or even wedding season, everyone refers to it as "that time of year." And now, here we are again at "that time of year." Not only is it graduation season for college and high school students, and the point in time when Spring Fever really starts to kick in – it's also time for May Sweeps!
What do May Sweeps, when our favorite TV shows and series come to a close with nail-biting season finales, have to do with work? Well – a lot, actually.
U.S. workers are talking about television at work more than ever, according to the latest Spherion Workplace Snapshot survey. Forty percent of workers say talking about television at work increases office camaraderie.
American Idol is the most talked about TV show in the workplace for the third year in a row, with 33 percent of workers chatting about the contestants and their song choices. Seventeen percent of workers discuss Idol on company time and 9 percent engage in debates about the contestants with co-workers, according to the survey.
This year's two most talked about shows were American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. In 2007, workers discussed American Idol and Grey's Anatomy the most, and in 2006, it was American Idol and Lost.
Here's how other popular TV shows ranked among watercooler chatter:
- Dancing with the Stars – 15%
- Lost – 13%
- Grey's Anatomy – 7%
- The Office – 6%
- Law & Order – 6%
- Heroes – 5%
- 24 – 4%
- Big Brother – 4%
- America's Next Top Model – 2%
When it comes to gender, 36 perent of women named Idol the most discussed TV program and 21 percent named Dancing with the Stars. Among men, 30 percent also rate American Idol as the most talked about show at work, and 15 percent rate Lost as such.
Surprisingly, workers age 65 and older were more likely than any other age group to discuss American Idol more than any other show in the workplace, with 42 percent stating so. Workers age 50 and older (42 percent) rated Dancing with the Stars as most watched.
So, gather round the watercooler tomorrow morning and gabbing about your favorite Idol finalist!

[1452] CD 23 Expression in Plasma Cell Myeloma with t(11;14)
RN Tawil, Q Ahmed, AN Mohamed, G Bentely. Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI; Detroit Medical Center, Detroit, MI
Background: CD23 acts as a B cell growth and activation factor, promoting differentiation into plasma cells, as well as regulating IgE synthesis and binding. CD 23 has recently been studied in Plasma Cell Myeloma (PCM), and initial results show that CD 23 is expressed in 10% of these patients. Furthermore, a strong association was observed between CD 23 and abnormalities with chromosome 11 (particularly t(11;14)).
Design: Twenty two bone marrows from PCM patients were selected from a hospital in an urban setting. These patients are male and female, age range between 47 to 71 years old, all with t(11;14) as part of their cytogenetics work up. CD 23 immunostaining was performed on microslides of paraffin-embedded tissue sections from these twenty two patients.
Results: 8/22 cases (36%) expressed CD 23 by immunohistochemistry, and 14/22 (64%) were negative for CD 23 staining.
Conclusions: CD 23 is expressed in 36% of the cases with t(11;14). This corroborates previous studies of the strong association of CD 23 with chromosome 11 abnormalities. Since CD 23 promotes the differentiation of cells into plasma cells, this could be an opportunity for predicting prognosis, or for therapy to utilize the natural machinery of cells, and prevent them from becoming neoplastic plasma cells, especially in the setting of t(11;14).

Hey Max,
These bindings are extremely versatile and get the job done no matter what you're doing. However, if you were looking for a binding for the sole purpose of getting your jib on, there are better options out there for you. The K2 Hurrithane, Gnu Street, Union Jib Series, just to name a few.

[841] Isolated Single Core High Grade Prostatic Adenocarcinoma Is Associated with Increased Likelihood of Extraprostatic Extension, Seminal Vesicle Invasion, Positive Surgical Margins and Lymphovascular Invasion at Radical Prostatectomy
DA Fajardo, AW Partin, M Eisenberger, TL DeWeese, GJ Netto. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
Background: High grade PCa can rarely be diagnosed as a single focus involving a single biopsy core. It is of clinical interest to determine whether such limited high grade prostatic adenocarcinoma biopsy involvement carry the same aggressive implications in regard to risk of extraprostatic extension (EPE), seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) and likelihood of positive margin status (MG+) on radical prostatectomy (RRP).
Design: 92 PCa patients diagnosed with a standard ultrasound guided prostate needle biopsy procedure revealing only a single positive core and undergoing subsequent prostatectomy were retrieved from our surgical pathology archives (1999-2008). Cases were of four Gleason score (GS) groups: 3+3=6 (group1), 3+4=7 (group2), 4+3=7 (group3) and > 8 (group4). Bx data on pt age, pre-biopsy PSA (prePSA), GS, percentage of core involvement (Pos%), and total number of cores performed per case were collected. In addition, prostatectomy data on GS, extent of RRP involvement by PCa (RRPext), EPE, margin status, SVI, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and lymph node metastasis (LN) were gathered on all cases.
Results: No statistically significant difference was observed among the four biopsy groups in: Total number of cores obtained, prePSA or Pos% (p:NS). A significantly higher rate of EPE was observed in group 4 compared to groups 1-3 (50.0%, 4.3%, 8% and 30% respectively; p<0.0006). Likewise, a significantly higher incidence of positive MG status (p<0.03), SVI (p<0.003), and LVI (p<0.008) was also observed in group 4 compared to the remaining groups. Furthermore, when cases in group 4 were stratified, according to their %Pos involvement of their single positive core using 50% as a cutoff, the incidence of EPE was higher in those with PCa involving > 50% of one core compared to cases with cancer involving < 50% (p<0.0001). The latter cases in turn had a higher incidence of EPE than the groups of cases with

Reviewed Fettuccini Alfredo with Prosciutto and Peas
Aug 26, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This was pretty good! I added mushrooms in addition to peas and prosciutto. I also doubled up on the shallots and garlic, but that's to my own personal taste. Next time I will probably add a little more cream and substitute either bacon, ham or chicken for the prosciutto.""

I Heard a Rumor - PCLOS 8.1 in the Works?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 05:07:02 AM Filed underA little birdie told me that an update to the acclaimed PCLinuxOS Preview 8 is in the works and possibly due out next week. Details are a bit sketchy at this time, but it seems Tom has been hard at work updating the hardware detection and mklivecd scripts. Now don't get your hopes up, but I hear it might sport a newer 2.6.10 kernel, including patches to fix a little kvm switch problem. Of course it will include all kinds of application updates and other goodies. More on this as it develops.
Mandrake's Clustering Again
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 04:49:03 AM Filed underMandrake is apparently joining a consortium to help the advancement of what I think of as distributed computing to the point of and what they are terming clustering. Mandrake has a some previous experience in that arena so maybe they can prove to be an asset. Here's a more in depth article on the subject. They want to harness our cpu cycles, and it sounds like for commercial purposes. Show me the money then I say. Until then, I'm looking for aliens.

More BS from the Evil One.
Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 4th of February 2005 07:56:15 PM Filed underSeems Mr. Gates is at it again with saying one thing while trying to cleverly conceal his jabs at Linux. This time speaking of interoperability amongst differing architectures while stating that doesn't mean open source as open source is detrimental to interoperability.

Have you heard about Thomas Butler, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, or Grace O'Malley? If you haven't, you can find out about these famous Irish people now!
Thomas Butler was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth I. Stories say that he and Elizabeth played together as children and became good friends. When Elizabeth grew up and became queen, Thomas supported her. He fought her enemies in Ireland and he even built a beautiful house, Ormond Castle, that legend says was for Queen Elizabeth in case she ever needed a place to stay in Ireland. Unfortunately, she never came to visit. The castle is still standing today.
Elizabeth Fitzgerald lived in London among kings and queens of England, although she had been born in Ireland. Elizabeth was famous for her beauty, and in her lifetime people called her "The Fair Geraldine." She became a close friend and lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I. But kings and queens could change their minds easily, and sometimes Elizabeth Fitzgerald and the queen did not get along. However, Elizabeth Fitzgerald was never in trouble permanently and she became a wealthy and powerful woman.
Grace O'Malley did a very unusual thing for a woman in the 1500s - she became a pirate! Grace led a fleet of ships on the western coast of Ireland. Sometimes she collected money from other ships she found in "her" waters. Sometimes, she sent her ships to trade and bring back items that could be sold in Ireland. Grace O'Malley had her own castle and became very rich. She is still famous in Ireland today, and even had a play made up about her called The Pirate Queen!

Sparta, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Brad Keselowski won the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway for the second time in three years on Saturday night.
Keselowski started on the pole and put on a dominating performance by leading 199 of 267 laps in this Sprint Cup Series race. Either Keselowski or his Team Penske teammate, Joey Logano, who started second, led all of the first 216 laps until a caution came for accident involving Aric Almirola.
Just prior to the caution, Kyle Busch had pitted from third during a round of green-flag stops. Busch returned to the track still on the lead lap when the caution flag waved.
During the caution, Keselowski and the other frontrunners pitted for the final time, allowing Busch to take the lead with 50 laps remaining. Keselowski was running in the sixth position for the restart with 48 laps left.
Busch ran in front for 31 laps before Keselowski chased him down and reclaimed the lead for good with 19 laps to go. Keselowski beat Busch to the finish line by just over a second.
"It was kind of one of those races where you just know that you have a really fast car, and my Miller Lite Ford Fusion was hauling the mail, but you're just waiting for something to go wrong, and it did there on that last yellow," Keselowski said. "It caught us out of sequence. I restarted in sixth and had a decent restart, but I didn't think I was going to catch Kyle. The car was just that great."
Keselowski also had a dominant performance in Friday night's Nationwide Series race here, starting on the pole and leading 138 of the first 148 laps, but he was penalized for speeding off of pit road, which dropped him to 17th in the running order. He finished second to Kevin Harvick in that event.
In Thursday's Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky, Keselowski held the lead in the late stages but had a pit-road mishap when a wrench was still attached to his truck after leaving his stall. He had to pit again and fell back in the field. Keselowski bounced back for a fifth-place finish, while Busch took the checkered flag.
Keselowski scored his second win of the season and the 12th of his Sprint Cup career. His first win in 2014 came at Las Vegas, a 1.5-mile racetrack similar to Kentucky.
With two wins to his credit during the regular season, Keselowski is now assured of making this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He joins Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, who won last weekend in Sonoma, California, and Logano as those drivers with multiple victories this season.
Keselowski won his first Sprint Cup title in 2012.
"I really want another championship," he said. "I think this team will get close to that position if we keep running like this."
In the Kentucky race two years ago, Keselowski started eighth and led just 68 laps en route to the win. He's the only driver with multiple Sprint Cup victories here. The series began competing at this track in 2011. Keselowski finished 33rd in the 2013 race after he was involved in a multi-car crash in the early going.
"Last year was pretty humbling to wreck early in this race, so it feels really good to get back to this form," he said. "I think I appreciate it more now than ever."
Busch's second-place finish marked his first top-five finish since April at Richmond and first top-10 since one month ago at Charlotte.
"We had a good car all night," Busch said. "Feels nice to have a solid run, lead some laps, and although we faded at the end, we gave it a valiant effort. So hopefully, we can take some of this and move forward with it."
Ryan Newman, in his first year with Richard Childress Racing, finished a season-best third. Matt Kenseth, who won this race one year ago, placed fourth, and Earnhardt was fifth.
Finishing sixth through 10th were: Jeff Gordon, the current points leader, Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Logano and Johnson. Logano dealt with an overheating issue in the closing laps.
Denny Hamlin and rookie Kyle Larson had their night end early when they were involved in separate crashes.
While running in the top-five, Hamlin blew his right-front tire and made hard contact with the wall on lap 29, one lap before the scheduled competition caution.
"A product of a green racetrack, and we were one lap from getting that competition caution," said Hamlin, who finished last in the 42-car field. "My car really didn't give me any indication we were burning up the right-front. I made sure I kept it under me the entire run. Just couldn't last the 30 laps that it needed to."
Shortly after on lap 77, Larson hit the wall after he experienced the same tire issue as Hamlin. He finished 40th.
"I saw where Denny blew his right-front, and I'd been pretty tight," Larson said. "But I didn't think we had any tire issues all weekend. I was kind of shocked when he blew his right-front. And then we were pretty tight on our run. I felt like I was using up my right sides. I told myself to get back down just in case there would be tire problems, and I guess I just used up my tires too much."
Gordon's point lead is now 24 over his Hendrick Motorsports teammates Johnson and Earnhardt. Keselowski moved up to fourth in the standings (-58).

[245] The Diagnostic Utility of the "Minimal Carcinoma (MC) Triple Stain" in Breast Carcinomas.
Dara S Ross, Yi-Fang Liu, Jennifer Pipa, Sandra J Shin. Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY
Background: Minimal breast carcinoma (≤ 3 mm in size) is an increasingly common and diagnostically challenging lesion encountered in daily practice. Accurate classification (i.e. lobular vs. ductal; in-situ vs. invasive) directly impacts subsequent clinical management, especially when the focus is near a surgical margin or present in a needle core biopsy (NCB). Immunohistochemistry enables pathologists to fully characterize such lesions however in some instances the number of immunostains necessary exceeds the amount of lesional tissue available for study. We assessed the diagnostic utility of a combined immunostain of 3 commonly employed antibodies (CK7, p63 and E-cadherin) to evaluate these problematic lesions.
Design: 148 specimens containing minimal (≤ 3 mm in size) breast carcinoma were identified. In each case, the MC Triple Stain which consisted of Vector Blue (Vector laboratories, Inc.), DAB and Refine Red (Leica Microsystems) chromogens utilized for p63 (clone 4A4, Biogenex), E-cadherin (clone HECD-1, Invitrogen), and CK7 (clone OV-TL 12/30, Dako), respectively, was prepared with a parallel H&E stained slide. Observations of staining characteristics in MC were recorded.
Results: The MC Triple Stain demonstrated diagnostic staining in all but one case studied, specifically, 79 invasive ductal carcinomas (43 excisional biopsy [EXBX], 36 NCB), 68 invasive lobular carcinomas (ILC) (38 EXBX, 30 NCB), 49 ductal carcinoma in-situ (36 EXBX, 13 NCB), and 37 lobular carcinoma in-situ (27 EXBX, 10 NCB). See Figure 1: ILC surrounding a benign duct.
In one ILC, the MC Triple Stain stained only the surrounding breast tissue (appropriately) and not the MC focus. MC in 32 of 81 EXBX (40%) was located ≤ 2 mm from the inked surgical margin; all were fully diagnostic by the MC Triple Stain despite morphologic distortion due to concomitant cautery artifact and tissue disruption.
Conclusions: The MC Triple Stain is diagnostically useful in fully characterizing breast carcinoma of minimal size. This combination immunostain offers an accurate and tissue-conserving method to fully characterize and diagnose small, morphologically problematic foci of breast carcinoma while ideally leaving more tissue for adjunctive studies necessary for further clinical management and treatment in these patients.

I began this blog as a way to learn more about connecting with teachers online, but wasn't really sure how well the experiment would work, or what direction it would take. I had a vague idea about creating a community where EFL teachers around the world could share stories about their unique teaching environments and share wisdom garnered from their teaching experiences.

Videos: Pride Parade features colourful corporate floats
The annual Pride parade always offers a snapshot into where our society is going.
In recent years, large corporations like TD and Telus have put on some of the most uninhibited shows for the crowd. It's a sign of how mainstream Pride is becoming.
This year, Telus played up its Caya brand with some very gay-friendly music and dancing.
Caya dancers don't hold back at Pride.
TD, which has two West End branches, was a little more sedate this year compared to last year. In 2011, the corporation's float resembled a gay strip club. This year, TD may have had the largest number of people in the parade, but the presentation was a little more tame.
TD brought a large crowd to Pride.
Trojan, which makes condoms, is another corporation that often puts on a good show at Pride. This year, its employees dressed the part, looking like ancient soldiers.
Trojan employees showed some enthusiasm.

Heh, I don't think it's worth of extraneous mechanism of mailing lists just to inform people about bug numbers. I'm gonna take a big guess and assume that anyone who has enough time to make constructive criticism on documentation has to be capable of using the query button of bugzilla as well. >Once in bugs.g.o it's up to Flammie to decide when the document is good >enough >to go live.

It might also be useful if this was stated somewhere in the documentation or somewhere, or it could be that I have just missed it. So just a clarification to Finnish doc team, please send the first drafts of your translations directly to bugzilla, we'll be spamming the bugzilla with the updates until documentation is ready and valid, and discussion continues in the forums and IRC like before creation of this list. I apologize the inconvenience. -- Slightly annoyed and confused regards, Flammie, Gentoo Linux Documentation's Finnish head translator.

In Northern California there exists a relatively unknown surf area where 25 foot waves are notorious for crashing the shore.
Very few riders become big wave surfers; and of those, only a select few are willing to risk the hazardous, sometimes deadly, conditions at Mavericks.
While I'm not a fan of risking my life to achieve the ultimate high, I've come to the realization that some risks are necessary in life.
Without them, we stagnate and never become what we hope to be.
A few months ago I watched a movie on a flight called Chasing Mavericks, and was introduced to Jay Moriarity.
Jay was a soul surfer, and someone who sought to experience all the ocean had to offer. He had an unmatched respect for the waters he entered.
This is about more than just surfing. It's about finding that one thing in life that's sets you free.
He died a day before his 23rd birthday, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the island Lohifushi in the Maldives, drowning in an apparent diving accident.
Jay went big, and set his sights as high as he could.
I often wonder how many of us can say the same thing about our own lives. Very seldom do I step outside my comfort zone and try new things.
There are many opportunities we have to ride the perfect wave — so many chances to live life to the fullest, but they remain missed opportunities.
The ultimate ride awaits us all in some fashion, but the question we need to ask ourselves is this — are we brave enough and willing to paddle out?

29 July 2013. CHOICE has welcomed today's final report from the Federal Parliament's inquiry into IT pricing, saying it delivers a clear blueprint to reduce the digital price discrimination faced by Australian consumers.
CHOICE provided a detailed submission to the inquiry, analysing over 200 separate software products, games and music downloads, which showed Australians pay around 50 per cent more for identical goods compared to US consumers.
"Our research shows Australians cop a raw deal on digital prices, and today's report provides a much-needed trigger for government action to terminate the so-called 'Australia tax'," says CHOICE director of campaigns and communications, Matt Levey.
"In particular, we congratulate the Committee for taking aim at the practice of 'geo-blocking', the virtual walls put in place by global copyright owners and manufacturers to artificially carve up markets and sustain higher prices in regions like Australia."
CHOICE says the inquiry's key recommendations are:
"Taken together, these are strong recommendations based on a huge amount of evidence, including the Committee's welcome step of compelling IT giants Apple, Adobe and Microsoft to front the inquiry in April this year," Mr Levey says.
"We now need to see this bipartisan approach translate into action in the Parliament, giving Australians the confidence and tools to bypass virtual walls and access legitimate, cheaper digital goods."
Read CHOICE's submission to the IT pricing inquiry and our guide for consumers to get around geo-blocking.

Today's mobile workforce is changing the place where work is done – so doesn't that mean your IT business needs a renovation? Or perhaps an entirely new architecture? Think of it this way – your company's IT infrastructure is like a building. Right now, it you're working in a building designed by LAN architects.
Created in the 1960s and 1970s, the LAN is actually quite a lot like landmark buildings designed at the time – big, blocky, heavy on the concrete, and with few windows. Take the National Air and Space Museum in DC or the Centre Square Building (fondly known as the "Clothespin Building") in Philadelphia for example. They make a pretty good analogy for the LAN.
Now consider modern architecture – soaring skyscrapers made of steel and glass, environmentally-friendly, and connected to pedestrians with cafes, shops, and public transportation. What if you could design your IT network to look like that? Well, that's exactly what all IT departments around the world should be doing.
Let me take the analogy slightly further. Newly designed and constructed skyscrapers all have the following – and so should an IT infrastructure that supports mobile workers:
- Strong Foundation (Mobile IT Platform) – It needs to be reliable, but it also needs to be incredibly well-engineered to support the next generation mobility design.
- Lots of Windows (Visibility) – It's really important to see what's going on in the outside world, and today the most sophisticated building have the most glass and the most visibility.
- Tiered Roof (Security) – Unlike designs from the 1970s with flat roofs, today's are designed to protect the content of the building at different levels throughout and make a dramatic statement at the top.
- Efficient Utilities (Data Services) – These need to brought into the building as-needed, but as the "green" movement become's more popular, buildings are designed to use them more efficiently.
- Big Banks of Elevators (Connectivity) – Moving between floors is more important as the building climbs higher and higher and users demand more options, less outages and faster service.
- Waterless Toilets (Compliance with Regulations) – Being LEED certified matters; and the new building has to be compliant before it can open.
Want to create the most efficient and happiest mobile workforce you can? Take a hint from modern skyscrapers and upgrade your IT architecture.

text: Sounded Like a JokeIt could have been a joke. "The economy is so bad – we had to let our volunteers go"But no one was laughing on Wednesday, May 6, 2009, when Jenny Worley, ESA Circulation Manager, asked the nineteen DCLS volunteers present to please stop working for her. This strange request was due to the extensive renovations scheduled to take place at the East Shore Area Library. A larger parking lot, updated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, new phone, computer and electrical wiring; additional office space, a larger workroom, and updated carpeting are all needed improvements. Architectural drawings were shared as Jenny explained, not only was there going to be the major reconstruction happening, but simultaneously, new processes will be implemented to better serve growing patron needs like self-serve "hold" and "checkout" areas and new software programs. While the end result will be expansion, the changes will be implemented in halves. Closing a half for construction and squeezing public and staff workspaces into the other half, will create less than desirable working conditions. Administration decided that ESA would be "no place for volunteers" during construction. Initial shock and dismay expressed by the volunteers, was followed by well wishes, suggested replacement activities, and inquiries about serving at other libraries in the System during the hiatus. DCLS staff assured everyone that when the renovations are complete, DCLS will be welcoming volunteers back to ESA. The original thought was that ESA would be fully renovated, up and running again by the Fall of 2009. Unfortunately, as with most renovation projects, there have been numerous delays. But Project managers are happy to report that progress is being made. The east side parking lot has been expanded for 22 cars; revisions to the heating and cooling systems are well in hand; and library operations have all shifted to one side of the Library for Phase One, even the Collection Management and Automation Services Departments located on the lower level of the building. The volunteer program along with long term volunteers will be impacted by the numerous changes in procedures that are simultaneously being implemented such as Self-Check Out and Self-Serve Hold retrievals. ESA will certainly offer a new experience when volunteers are welcomed back to service. Expectations are to have the project completed by early 2010. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and I will do my best to keep everyone informed on the progress. ---------- Archived Volunteer NewsThanks Given for Volunteers Don't wish to give online?Click here to learn the other methods for making a gift.

The Latex Pillow Is A Good Natural Option To Traditional Foam Pillows
A Latex pillow that will accommodate both side and back sleeping postures. It uses a natural latex which offers optimal support, providing a high level of comfort. It has a 100% cotton cover, needs no fluffing and lasts for many years. <read more>
Buy A Natural Latex Pillow With Security & Privacy 24/7 – 365 Days A Year
Latex Pillow Sales Hotline – (800) 598 6416
FREE SHIPPING for Continental U.S.A. Only | Outside U.S.A. Orders – Read Shipping Policy |
All Customers: Read Shipping and Return Policies Prior To Placing Any Order! |
The latex pillow is made with premium natural latex and is naturally antimicrobial. It comes in 3 sizes: Standard – 20 by 26 inches, Queen – 20 by 30 inches and King – 20 by 36 inches. The height is about 5 and 1/2 inches. The latex pillow is soft, so it will compress and the natural properties of good quality latex supports the neck very well, while maintaining a high level of comfort.
The primary function of a natural latex pillow while sleeping will be to support the neck within a natural posture. This helps prevent end range or extreme neck positions in the course of sleeping which can amplify structural strains on the cervical spine, such as neck muscles, ligaments and discs.
This may endanger susceptible structures along with producing symptoms upon waking, like neck pain along with stiff muscles, headaches, shoulder as well as arm pain. Investigation regarding the impact of various types of pillows for individuals having persistent neck pain discovered that softer pillows which offer neck support, like the natural latex pillow, offer beneficial relief with regard to pain symptoms upon waking.
Latex Pillow Science
In Pillow use: the behavior of cervical stiffness, headache and scapular/arm pain. J Pain Res. 2010; 3: Their phone questionnaire involving more than eight hundred randomly-selected individuals without having recognized neck troubles within a big South Australian town – 9.6 percent, revealed a remarkably substantial rate of waking signs and symptoms. At least one time inside a typical week, 27 percent noted waking having scapular and also arm pain, 19 percent having headaches, as well as 17 percent having neck pain and/or stiffness. Furthermore individuals frequently noted waking having more than one of these signs and symptoms. This study discovered that side sleepers that slept during 1 pillow had been most typical throughout age ranges as well as in the two genders (more than 65 percent in every younger, middle as well as older age ranges, and over 70 percent of women and men). The one pillow side sleepers noted making use of a range of pillows varieties, most often polyester standard pillows (roughly 40 percent), and then foam pillows (about 19 percent) contour (about 12 percent) and standard (roughly 8 percent), latex (around 14 percent), as well as feather pillows (around 9 percent). The age of the pillow varied between a 3 days to over five years.
The study indicated benefits of a latex pillow for minimizing waking headache and scapular/arm pain. They found heightened symptoms with feather pillows for waking neck pain. The study findings indicate the consistently good performance of a latex pillow in reducing waking headaches as well as scapular and arm pain, and thus these pillows should be recommended to reduce waking pain symptoms.
If you are looking for a standard type pillow without contours or fancy designs to replace a polyester or foam based traditional pillow, and you have no allergies to natural latex, this is one of the better solutions, especially for those who are not sure or do not like contour pillows.
Benefits Of Natural Latex Pillow
The properties of latex are antimicrobial and resistant to dust mites as well as allergens, mold and mildew, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping experience.
- 100% Natural Latex
- Hypo-allergenic
- Antimicrobial
- Dust Mite Resistant
- Instantly conforms to contours of head and neck and spine for optimal orthopedic support
- Reduces pressure points
- Breathability – Air flow
Nature gave us the best material to work with – Natural Latex. We mastered the use of latex to produce a 100% Natural Latex Pillow. Use of natural latex increases the need to plant more rubber trees, making the world Green! Every rubber tree produces that extra breath of oxygen, making our world a better place.
The antimicrobial properties in latex resist dust mites, allergens, mold and mildew. This, along with the ventilation holes, provides a cool, safe & comfortable sleep.
Why This Latex Pillow?
This is the most natural latex pillow currently available. The pillow uses a wonderful balance between neck support and softness, allowing a personal height adjustment when lying on the pillow for spinal alignment and a high level of sleep comfort. You will find the natural latex pillow is a great investment, because it lasts much longer than foam or fiber based pillows, providing many years of comfort. The latex pillow has special holes for ventilation to help control temperature, so it is fine for use in warm climates.
The natural latex pillow is non toxic even when burned, as well as biodegradable.
Unique Natural Latex & Processing
Every rubber tree secretes about 1/8 of a cup of latex each day and account for removing 143 metric tons of CO2 from our environment a year! It is a renewable resource and is environmentally friendly, being processed and grown organically.
The pillow uses a Dunlop manufacturing process, made with very high quality Sri Lankan latex. It is manufactured using an open mould system of filling to produce a 100% natural latex pillow. A quality control system consisting of 16 points provides consistency of quality throughout the manufacturing process. The unique qualities of the latex pillow are foamed and gelled with a computer controlled machine made in the United States. It is steam cured with high tech equipment assuring a consistent quality throughout the process of vulcanizing. It is washed with water that is drinkable quality for a pure and clean product. A unique drying method of soft conditioning adds to the luxurious feel of the latex pillow.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Oscar!
Facts about Oscar
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Oscar's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Oscar is a male shihtzu. He is about 8 pounds. He's around 1 year old, neutered, current on shots, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is good with other dogs and cats. He will nip, so we will not place him in a home with children. He tends to bond very strongly to one person and will bite anyone else. He needs a home that understands this and is willing to work with him. He is located in the Central Florida area. Oscar's adoption fee is $200
Other Pets at Chihuahua/Small Dog Rescue of Central Florida
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Oscar, a geneva Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in geneva, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in geneva.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in geneva already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a geneva breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in geneva paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ambitious for Croydon
Twitter @CroydonLabour
The Conservatives have now made it crystal clear that their £450million development scheme for a Luxury Council HQ is a key proposal for the local elections due on May 6th.
Labour has made it clear that we will stop this scheme if elected on May 6th in the Borough Council Elections.
Key reasons to stop this scheme:
Labour plans to invest in community facilities instead. This will include a series of new Swimming Pools and Leisure centres at New Addington, East Croydon, Purley Way - Five Ways, South Norwood and we will keep open the Purley Town Centre Swimming Pool that was opened only in 1982 - yet the Tory Council plan to close it and sell it off to developers.

The broad and eclectic range of industries in the UK makes it one of the best choices for work in Europe, with many cities transforming into international business hubs
The UK is highly globalised and boasts the third-largest economy in Europe meaning the job market is competitive. International students with good English language skills can go far, as speaking more than one language is becoming a desirable skill to possess in the world of business.
Industries that are currently seeing a drive in recruitment are education, engineering and law. The hospitality and retail industries have a high turnover of staff and so often recruit all year round. The creative arts and design sector, although highly competitive, is often recruiting in London, while marketing and PR is thriving in cities such as Birmingham and Manchester.
Get tips on how best to approach the job market and find a job.
If you are coming from outside the UK and you have a different mother tongue than English, you may be able to find teaching work as a modern foreign language (MFL) teacher. The main languages taught in schools in the UK are French, Spanish and German.
There is a shortage of professionals in these subjects and a demand for talented individuals. If you have a university degree or English equivalent, and a good grasp of English language, you may be entitled to bursary support in order to complete the required postgraduate study to become a teacher of modern foreign languages.
For more information on teaching languages in the UK, available bursaries and training options, go to Teach Modern Foreign Languages .
Graduate schemes are available at many of the UK's large and multinational companies in sectors such as:
A list of companies offering schemes can be found in the job sectors and graduate job search.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), you will have to apply directly. Research individual companies to find out what graduate positions and work experience is available at SMEs.
For jobs in the UK, see:
To get a foot in the door of an organisation, many students in the UK look for work experience. Work experience opportunities will vary in length, depending on the organisation. In some cases a placement will be as short-term as one day; others may last for several months and lead to a permanent position.
It's important to remember that all work experience is valuable and many students are successful in securing a place for several months.
Your university's international office can help you find and apply for work experience and internships.
There are lots of voluntary roles in the UK that can help you to develop your English skills and allow you to give something back to a charitable organisation. If you can afford to work unpaid in order to gain experience, taking on a voluntary placement will be worthwhile and can help boost your CV.
You can find further volunteering projects that are happening locally in your community by checking local newspapers and notice boards. Make sure you thoroughly research all volunteering opportunities and always check the terms and conditions before committing yourself to a scheme.
If you are looking for work in the UK, you will need to speak a certain level of English. GOV.UK has details on language requirements and other specifications for people wishing to settle in the UK at GOV.UK - Settle in the UK .
Immigration categories are dependent on a points-based system and non-European migrants will have to research their category requirements before applying for visas at GOV.UK - Work Visas .
