The status of the axillary lymph nodes is one of the most important prognostic factors in women with early stage breast cancer. Histologic examination of lymph nodes is the most accurate method for assessing spread of disease to these nodes. (See "Management of the regional lymph nodes in breast cancer" and "Prognostic and predictive factors in metastatic breast cancer", section on 'Prognostic versus predictive factors'.)
Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has traditionally been a routine component of the management of early breast cancer. The benefits of ALND include its impact on disease control (ie, axillary recurrence and survival), its prognostic value, and its role in treatment selection. However, the anatomic disruption caused by ALND may result in lymphedema, nerve injury, and shoulder dysfunction, which compromise functionality and quality of life.
ALND is the typical approach for women who have clinically palpable axillary nodes or positive nodes confirmed by methods such as ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration. For patients who have clinically negative axillary lymph nodes, sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) is a method of staging the axilla with less morbidity than ALND.
Indications for and outcomes of SLND will be reviewed here. The technique of SLND in patients with breast cancer is discussed separately. (See "Sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer: Techniques".)
The importance of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is based upon the observation that tumor cells migrate from a primary tumor metastasize to one or a few lymph nodes (LNs) before involving other LNs. Injection of vital blue dye and/or radiolabeled colloid around the area of the tumor permits identification of a SLN in the majority of patients, and its status accurately predicts the status of the remaining regional LNs (picture 1 and image 1 and image 2 and image 3). (See "Sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer: Techniques".)

The raw power of your feelings could stop you in your tracks now that the evocative Moon is back in your contemplative sign. However, she also reminds you of how isolated you feel when you don't express your emotions. Unfortunately, it's difficult to communicate your experiences because you worry that your intensity may be too much for others to handle today. To prevent any unwanted drama, share on a need-to-know basis only. Luckily, staying in touch with your inner world is possible if you simply remain silent and offer a mysterious smile.

We Were Soldiers is a 2002 war film that dramatizes the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14, 1965. The film was directed by Randall Wallace and stars Mel Gibson. It is based on the book We Were Soldiers Once… And Young by Lieutenant General (Ret.) Hal Moore and reporter Joseph L. Galloway, both of whom were at the battle.
A French unit on patrol in Vietnam in 1954, during the final year of the First Indochina War is ambushed by North Vietnamese Army forces. NVA commander Nguyen Huu An orders his soldiers to "kill all they send, and they will stop coming."
Eleven years later, the United States is fighting the Vietnam War. U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) is chosen to train and lead a battalion. After arriving in Vietnam, he learns that an American base has been attacked and is ordered to take his 400 men after the enemy and eliminate the Vietnamese attackers, despite the fact that intelligence has no idea of the number of enemy troops. He leads a newly created air cavalry unit into the Ia Drang Valley. After landing in the "Valley of Death", the soldiers learn that the location they were sent to is actually the base camp for a veteran North Vietnamese Army division of 4,000 men.
Upon arrival in the area with a platoon of soldiers, 2nd Lt. Henry Herrick spots an enemy scout, runs after him, and orders reluctant soldiers to follow. The Vietnamese scout lures them into an ambush, resulting in several men being killed, including Lt. Herrick and his subordinates. The surviving platoon members are surrounded with no chance of retreat. Sgt. Savage assumes command, calls in artillery, and uses the cover of night to keep the Vietnamese from overrunning their small defensive position. Meanwhile, with helicopters constantly dropping off units, Lt. Col. Moore manages to secure weak points before the Vietnamese can take advantage of them.
On the second day, despite being trapped and desperately outnumbered, the main U.S. force manages to hold off the Vietnamese with artillery, mortars, and helicopter airlifts of supplies and reinforcements. Eventually, Vietnamese commander Nguyen Huu An orders a large-scale attack on the American position.
At the point of being overrun by the enemy and with no options left, Moore orders 1st Lt. Charlie Hastings, his Forward Air Controller, to call in "Broken Arrow" (a call for all available combat aircraft to assist and attack enemy positions, even those close to the U.S. troops' position because a position is being overrun and can no longer be defended). The aircraft attack with bombs, napalm and machine guns, killing many PAVN and Viet Cong troops; but a friendly fire incident results in American deaths. The second Vietnamese attack is repelled and the surviving US soldiers led by Sgt. Savage are rescued.
Moore's troops regroup, secure the area, and stop at the base of a hill. The Vietnamese commander plans a final assault on the Americans and sends most of his troops to carry out the attack. The Vietnamese have set up strong emplacements near the hidden entrance of the underground passage to the command post spoken of by the scout. Hal and his men charge at them, but before the Vietnamese can fire, Major Bruce "Snakeshit" Crandall and others in helicopter gunships attack the Vietnamese, destroying the bulk of the enemy force.
Nguyen Huu An, the Vietnamese Commander, is alerted that the Americans have broken through their lines and there are no soldiers between the Americans and their command post. Since the Commander had deployed his reserve forces to a final offensive and the base camp has no troops to call upon for defense, the Vietnamese commander quickly orders the headquarters evacuated.
Moore, having achieved his objective, returns to the helicopter landing zone to be picked up. Only after everyone (including the dead and wounded) are removed from the battlefield does he fly out of the valley.
At the end of the film, it is revealed that the landing zone immediately reverted to North Vietnamese hands after the American troops were airlifted out. Hal Moore continued the battle in a different landing zone, and after nearly a year he returns home safely. His superiors congratulate him for killing over 1,800 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong soldiers. An older Moore visits the Vietnam war memorial and sees the names of soldiers who fell at Ia Drang.

Adaptation from source material[edit]
In the source book We Were Soldiers Once… And Young, Moore complains that "Every damn Hollywood movie got it wrong"; Wallace has said he was inspired by this comment and became "determined to get it right this time."
The film's final version, though getting many of the facts of the book presented onto film, does not present an entirely historically accurate portrayal of the battle, nor is it entirely faithful to the book. For instance, the film depicts a heroic charge under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore at the end of the battle that destroys the Vietnamese reserve, ending the battle in an American victory (a fact that director Randall Wallace noted in the DVD commentary[3]); in fact, there was no heroic final charge in the book, nor were the forces of the North Vietnamese destroyed, though the American commander Moore reported 834 enemy bodies, 1215 estimated KIA, 1/3rd of the enemy force[4] were killed to 72, out of 395, American fatal casualties (18%). Lt. Col. Nguyen Huu An, the Vietnamese commander, did not see the conclusion at LZ X-Ray as the end of combat, and the Battle of Ia Drang continued the next day with combat action at LZ Albany where the 2/7th, with A Company 1/5th, found themselves in a fight for their lives against Lt Col Nguyen Huu An's reserve.
Finally, as the movie notes in a voice over by Joe Galloway (Barry Pepper), the battle continued for over 300 more days.
There are as well many other historical differences in the book versus the movie; presumably to shorten the length of the movie. Some differences not shown would have demonstrated how desperate the American situation at Ia Drang was. For example, the seriousness of the overrun of C Company under the command of Capt Robert Edwards and the repulse of the final major North Vietnamese push at LZ X-Ray on the former C Company line which was then held by B Company 2/7th under the command of Capt Myron Diduryk, the Ukrainian Captain that Mel Gibson, as Col Moore, seems to claim is attached to the 1/7th. Also incorrect is the act of Capt. Ramon Nadal pushing forward and rescuing the stranded platoon of Lt. Henry Herrick, which according to the book was actually done not by one company of the 1/7th, but rather was a major push made by two companies of the 2/5th as well as B Company 1/7th.
Despite the aforementioned differences from the book and departures from historical accuracy, in a documentary included in the video versions, Gen. Moore states that this film is the first one "to get it right."[5]
The film received mostly positive reviews.[6] Roger Ebert, from the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the movie 3.5 stars out of 4 and praised the movie's battle scenes and how the movie follows the characters.
"Black Hawk Down" was criticized because the characters seemed hard to tell apart. "We Were Soldiers" doesn't have that problem; in the Hollywood tradition it identifies a few key players, casts them with stars, and follows their stories.[7]
Lisa Schwarzbaum, from Entertainment Weekly, gave the movie a B and noted the film's fair treatment of both sides.
"The writer-director bestows honor – generously, apolitically – not only on the dead and still living American veterans who fought in Ia Drang, but also on their families, on their Vietnamese adversaries, and on the families of their adversaries too. Rarely has a foe been portrayed with such measured respect for a separate reality, which should come as a relief to critics (I'm one) of the enemy's facelessness in Black Hawk Down; vignettes of gallantry among Vietnamese soldiers and such humanizing visual details as a Vietnamese sweetheart's photograph left behind in no way interfere with the primary, rousing saga of a fine American leader who kept his promise to his men to "leave no one behind dead or alive."[8]
David Sterritt, from the Christian Science Monitor, criticized the movie for giving a more positive image of the Vietnam War that, in his opinion, did not concur with reality.
"The films about Vietnam that most Americans remember are positively soaked in physical and emotional torment – from "Platoon," with its grunt's-eye view of combat, to "Apocalypse Now," with its exploration of war's dehumanizing insanity. Today, the pendulum has swung back again. If filmmakers with politically twisted knives once sliced away guts-and-glory clichés, their current equivalents hack away all meaningful concern with moral and political questions. "We Were Soldiers" is shameless in this regard, filling the screen with square-jawed officers who weep at carnage and fresh-faced GIs who use their last breaths to intone things like, "I'm glad I died for my country."[9]
Todd McCarthy, from Variety, said the film "presents the fighting realistically, violently and relatively coherently given the chaotic circumstances..." McCarthy further said, "Mel Gibson has the closest thing to a John Wayne part that anyone's played since the Duke himself rode into the sunset, and he plays it damn well." He summarized with, "Gibson's performance anchors the film with commanding star power to burn. This officer truly loves his men, and the credibility with which the actor is able to express Moore's leadership qualities as well as his sensitive side is genuinely impressive."[10]
Hal Moore, who had long been critical of many Vietnam War films for their negative portrayals of American servicemen, publicly expressed approval of the film and is featured in segments of the DVD. Some soldiers were less pleased: Retired Col Rick Rescorla, who played an important role in the book and was pictured on the cover (and later died on 9/11), was disappointed, after reading the script, to learn that he and his unit had been written out of the movie. In one key incident, the finding of a vintage French bugle on a dying Vietnamese soldier, the English-born Rescorla is replaced by a nameless Welsh platoon leader.[11][12][13][14][15]

John Ward, Senior Vice President, Sallie Mae And Academy Award Winning Actress Mira Sorvino Attend The Make The Pledge, Keep The Promise College Savings Luncheon, Held At The Benjamin Hotel In New York City, Thursday, October 4, 2012. (AP Photo/Jennifer Graylock)
According to a recent study, Oct. 5 is the most common birthday in America with approximately 13,000 babies born on this day each year and 1 million people sharing this birthday. As these children enter the world, the cost of a college education is expected to nearly triple over the next 18 years. Upromise by Sallie Mae has teamed up with Academy Award winning actress and mother of four Mira Sorvino to remind both these expanding families and families nationwide about the importance of planning for the future and saving for college.

"My education at Harvard was a turning point in my life. The experience I gained there has allowed me to channel my passion for children and social justice causes into advocacy that is extremely meaningful to me. Now that I'm a mom to two daughters and two sons, I can't emphasize the importance of education enough," says Sorvino. "Making a personal pledge and starting to save can ensure your children have the brightest future possible. Upromise by Sallie Mae makes it easy to save each and every day."
Now through Nov. 13, Americans who join the millions of Upromise members saving for college are eligible to win the "Make the Pledge, Keep the Promise" full ride to college $150,000 scholarship. Upromise members have already saved $700 million for college and are marching towards a collective goal of $1 billion for higher education. In addition, each week for eight weeks Upromise by Sallie Mae will give away $500 gift cards from major online retailers such as Macy's, Walmart, and Travelocity.

This video shows the fight of Snake against Metal Gear. It´s taken from the MSX game Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. In my opinion it was the best of all Metal Gear Solid games. You have to play it. The game is from 1989 but it´s still fun and a timeless classic.

Extraordinary optical transmission: coupling of the Wood–Rayleigh anomaly and the Fabry–Perot resonance |
Optics Letters, Vol. 37, Issue 10, pp. 1742-1744 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (189 KB)
In this Letter, we demonstrate for the first time that by combining the effects of the Wood–Rayleigh anomaly (WRA) and the Fabry–Perot (FP) resonance, transmission efficiencies of one-dimensional metallo-dielectric gratings on substrates can be significantly improved compared to when these two phenomena work separately. Results of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can be utilized to eliminate the necessity of using the index matching technique and the core-shell structure for enhancing the performance of extraordinary optical transmission devices. Further, the outcomes of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can elucidate some of the unexplained results in the literature.

MPN: 004154 EAN: 4007249041548 This has been designed to work specifically for use with the Hama Star 61, 62 and 63 series of compact camera tripods.This quick release plate with a 6.4 mm/1/4 thread and a video locating pin is not simply something to replace one that has been lost or misplaced during a trip. It is also an exceptionally useful accessory that allows a photographer or photographers to have a number of cameras with these attached ready to be attached to the Star 61, 62, 63 tripod of your choice as required. On a holiday this is a great way to save baggage by sharing 1 tripod between a number of people and simply having spare quick release plates, one for each camera that may be used. There is no more time consuming unscrewing and screwing of the camera onto the plate, losing time and perhaps that shot of a lifetime. Simply slot the second camera onto the tripod, lock it into place and off you go to take more pictures, perhaps having replaced a still camera with a video or vice versa. If you own one of these Hama Star 61, 62 or 63 tripods, can you really afford not to have at least one spare quick release plate in your equipment bag? |

KEF Muon to be Showcased at Architectural Digest Home Design Show
Award-Winning Loudspeaker Designed in Partnership with Ross Lovegrove to be Featured at Opening Night Party March 6th
Marlboro, N.J. – February 25, 2008 – Visitors to this year's Architectural Digest Home Design Show, held at New York City's Pier 94 March 6th-9th, will be treated to a special demonstration of the highly acclaimed and visually stunning Muon loudspeaker from KEF, the renowned British manufacturer of audiophile-quality music and home theater speakers.
In addition to providing entertainment throughout the entire show, a pair of Muon loudspeakers will be featured as part of the Opening Night Party held March 6th from 6:30-9 p.m. All proceeds from ticket sales to the party–sponsored by KEF and Ligne Roset, the celebrated French modern furniture company–will benefit The Alpha Workshops, the only not-for-profit organization in the U.S. that trains and employs people living with HIV/AIDS for work in the decorative arts field. Tickets can be purchased through Architectural Digest by calling (212) 594-7320 or online at www.archdigesthomeshow.com.
The Muon loudspeaker is the result of collaboration between KEF's world-class engineering team and visionary designer Ross Lovegrove, one of the world's most eminent industrial designers. The aim of the Muon project was to create no less than the ultimate in sound quality and design innovation. Production is strictly limited to 100 pairs and is available exclusively in 10 cities worldwide, including New York and Los Angeles.
Standing nearly seven feet tall, the Muon loudspeaker is made from super-formed aluminum, made by a molding process similar to vacuum forming. Using malleable sheets of heated aluminum to achieve otherwise impossible shapes, the eventual form of the loudspeaker was the result of a careful convergence between Lovegrove's design aesthetics and the physics of sound. The process by which it was conceived and executed meant that, in effect, Lovegrove sculpted the sound by 'skinning' the technology with purposeful form.
Muon's four-way speaker system — mounted into the front of the structure — with its powerful bass drivers is one of the elements that makes it so superior. But it is also in the upper mid-range and treble where some of the Muon's key technologies lie in the form of the Uni-Q® drive unit array, remarkable in its construction and delivering a seamless sonic picture throughout the listening environment. The Muon also incorporates KEF's proprietary Acoustic Compliance Enhancement Technology, which effectively doubles the available cabinet volume through adsorption of air molecules by activated carbon. And the two additional bass drivers mounted in the back successfully tame room effects issues, resulting in a remarkable clean and open sound.
As a truly contemporary art form appropriate for 21st century living, Muon is unequivocally at the apex of speaker design and technology.
Attracting over 25,000 attendees annually, the Architectural Digest Home Design Show features a wide array of home design categories, ranging from furnishings and accessories, art and antiques, kitchen and bath products, flooring, wall coverings, lighting and more.
Talking Points:
• The Muon loudspeaker will be featured as part of the Architectural Digest Home Design Show's Opening Night Party held March 6th from 6:30-9 p.m.
• All proceeds from ticket sales to the party–sponsored by KEF and Ligne Roset, the celebrated French modern furniture company–will benefit The Alpha Workshops, the only not-for-profit organization in the U.S. that trains and employs people living with HIV/AIDS for work in the decorative arts field.
• The Muon is a state-of-the-art, super speaker created by KEF in partnership with industrial design visionary, Ross Lovegrove.
