Learning you have advanced breast cancer can lead to feelings of uncertainty. We believe that with time, information, and the support of your healthcare team, you can become more empowered and better prepared to face this diagnosis. This guide will help you understand your diagnosis by explaining advanced breast cancer, the treatments that are used to manage it, and how to cope with the symptoms you may experience during treatment. It also includes information about supportive resources that you may find helpful during treatment. If you have any questions or would like more information, talk with a member of your healthcare team.
Advanced breast cancer (also called metastatic or stage 4 breast cancer) is the spread of cancer from the breast to the skin, lymph nodes, or another part of the body such as the liver, lungs, or bones. Some people have advanced breast cancer when they are first diagnosed, but it is more common to develop advanced breast cancer when cancer comes back somewhere else in the body, after seemingly successful initial diagnosis and treatment. Advanced breast cancer is a chronic condition that requires lifelong care. The goal of treatment is to control it for as long as possible so that you can carry on most of your usual activities.
There are many treatments available for advanced breast cancer and the choice of treatments is based on many factors. To create the care plan that's right for you, your doctor will review your medical history, examine you, and review your test results. If necessary, he or she will refer you to specialists for certain treatments, such as radiation therapy or surgery. Your doctor will discuss your care plan with you in detail. Do not compare your care plan to someone else's; the same plan may not be right for everyone.
Occasionally you will have tests to monitor how the disease is responding to treatment. Sometimes the cancer grows despite certain treatments. If this happens, your doctor will talk with you about changing your care plan. New treatments are being developed all the time, increasing your options for therapy.
Do not get pregnant while you are receiving therapy. These treatments can cause birth defects and the hormones of pregnancy can affect how your disease behaves.
You might still be at risk of getting pregnant for some time after your periods stop so continue to use birth control until your doctor tells you that you can stop.
Most people with advanced breast cancer will receive chemotherapy at some point during their treatment. Chemotherapy can kill cells in many ways, including by stopping their ability to multiply. Some chemotherapy is available as a pill, though many must be given through an intravenous (IV) catheter.
Chemotherapy kills cells that divide quickly, including some cancer cells. However, some normal cells also divide quickly. These include:
Because chemotherapy is affecting these cells as well as the cancer cells, you may have a decrease in your blood counts, thinning or loss of your hair, changes in your nails, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. How many of these side effects you can get will depend on the type of chemotherapy, the dose, and how often it is given. Not all chemotherapy causes nausea, vomiting, or hair loss. Your doctors and nurses should discuss the specific toxicities of each treatment with you.
Estrogen and progesterone are hormones. If the cancer has hormone receptors in it, then antihormonal medications may be used to treat it. We often refer to this as "hormone therapy." Hormone therapy blocks natural hormones in the body that might help cancer cells grow. Some hormone therapies are taken orally and some given by injection. Hormone therapy can cause changes in your hormone levels. This can change or stop your monthly periods, make you unable to get pregnant (infertile), or lead to symptoms of menopause.
Targeted therapy attacks some growth and other proteins in cancer cells. Antibody therapy is an example of targeted therapy. Whether your doctor suggests targeted therapy depends on the type of breast cancer you have. Some targeted therapies have fewer side effects than chemotherapy, but there can still be some. Your doctor and nurse will tell you what to expect.
Almost all patients will need an implanted port at some time during their treatment for advanced breast cancer. A port may be referred to by a brand name, such as BardPort®, Mediport®, PowerPort®, or Port-A-Cath®. A port is a small device, like an artificial vein, that is placed under the skin and is connected to a catheter (thin tube) that goes into the large veins, usually in the chest. You may have a port inserted at the start of your treatment if you don't have many veins that can be safely used, or it may happen later in your care after your veins have been used a lot.
A port is used to administer your treatments and can also be used for drawing blood. There are many benefits to having a port, including fewer delays and needle sticks when trying to find a good vein for treatment and less risk of chemotherapy leaking out of the veins and causing damage to the surrounding tissue.
A port is inserted during a short procedure, usually in the Radiology department, and can be used that same day if needed. Once your incision from the procedure is healed, you can swim, bathe, and resume all of your normal activities even with a port.
If you would like to learn more about ports you can ask your nurse for the resource Your Implanted Port. Talk with your doctor or nurse about when a port may be appropriate for you.
There is often a role for a clinical trial as part of the care plan for advanced breast cancer. A clinical trial is a research study that tests a new treatment. This may include studying a new drug or combination of drugs to treat breast cancer, a new dose or schedule of a drug, new tests to measure your response to a treatment, or new types of supportive care. Clinical trials may also include surveys to help us better understand our patients, and they may include studies conducted on your tumor or normal tissues and cells. The information we learn from clinical trials helps us learn how to provide better care for people with cancer.
Below are some commonly asked questions about clinical trials. For more information, or to learn if there are any clinical trials that are right for you, talk with your doctor. You may also visit our website at www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/clinical-trials.
The parts of your care that are not standard are paid for by the clinical trial. Routine tests, treatments, or procedures that you would normally have as part of your treatment will be billed to you or your insurance company. However, some health plans do not pay for these costs once you join a clinical trial. If you have any questions regarding what your plan covers, call your insurance company. MSK also has financial counselors available to help you. You can reach a financial counselor by calling (646) 227-9978.
Clinical trials may offer you access to a treatment before it is available to most patients. However, not all new treatments are better. For example, you are not guaranteed that the trial drug is more effective or safer than other options. Clinical trials are designed to get answers to research questions in the safest way possible. You may change your mind about being on a clinical trial at any time.
Advance care planning involves making decisions about your healthcare. By thinking about your healthcare now, you can make sure your wishes are carried out the way you would want them to be if ever you're unable to speak for yourself. Planning in advance can also help put your loved ones at ease because they don't have to guess what you would want or worry whether they've made the right decision.
We recommend you talk with a member of your healthcare team about your wishes early in your treatment and anytime you feel like things have changed. He or she can help you make sure your choices are documented in a way that is recognized by the law. Written instructions on how you want medical decisions to be made if you are unable to communicate or make the decisions yourself are called "advance directives." The 2 most common types of advance directives are a Health Care Proxy and a living will.
Advanced breast cancer affects the way you feel, physically and emotionally. Some symptoms may be from the cancer itself, while others may be from the treatment(s). You may have many of these symptoms, some, or none at all. Your doctor and nurse will tell you which symptoms you are most likely to experience.
This section describes symptoms you may experience. If you have any questions or if you need more information, talk with your doctor or nurse. Do not wait for your next appointment; he or she may be able to give you advice or a prescription to help you feel better.
Some medications can cause an allergic reaction while the medication is being given, but this is rare. You will be given medications to prevent this, if needed. You will also be closely monitored by your nurse during your treatment. Your doctor and nurse will tell you if any of the medications you are getting are likely to cause an allergic reaction. If you have a rash, shortness of breath, or swelling while you're at home, call your doctor or nurse.
Constipation is having less than your usual number of bowel movements or having hard stools. It is a common side effect of medications used to treat pain and nausea. Some chemotherapy can also cause constipation.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if you:
Loose or liquid stools (diarrhea) are caused by irritation of the lining of the stomach and intestines.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if you have:
You may feel emotional changes during this time. How much you are affected is individual. Your roles at home or work may be affected. Share your concerns with your doctors and nurses. They can tell you more about emotional changes you might have. They may also refer you to other resources if needed.
Possible emotional changes:
What you can do:
A member of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences can help you with:
A social worker can assist you with:
Some patients find soft music or relaxation recordings helpful. CDs are available in the boutique and in most bookstores.
Some chemotherapy medications may cause dry eyes or increased tearing. If this happens, you can use wetting drops or allergy eyedrops. If you have blurry vision during your treatment, see your eye doctor. It may be because your eyes are dry or tearing.
Some chemotherapy medications may cause your eyelashes and eyebrows to fall out. If this happens, it is temporary. They will grow back in after you have stopped taking that chemotherapy medication.
Many people describe fatigue as feeling weak or having no energy. Fatigue from treatment can range from a mild to an extreme feeling of being tired.
What you can do:
Some chemotherapy medications cause hair loss. Hair loss usually starts about 2 to 4 weeks after the first chemotherapy treatment. If you do lose your hair, it will begin to grow back once you're no longer taking that chemotherapy medication. Some hormonal therapies can mildly affect your hair as well. Generally, hair loss is affected by:
The type, dose, and length of time you take the medication(s).
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Some chemotherapy and some targeted therapy can affect the way your heart functions. You may have a fast heart beat, feel tired (fatigue), or short of breath. Your doctor will tell you if the treatment you are receiving requires any heart tests.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have:
You may have hot flashes or sweats that interfere with your daily routine or your sleep.
What you can do:
A low platelet count lowers the body's ability to stop bleeding or bruising. This side effect is less common than having low red or white blood cell counts. You may have a low platelet count 10 to 14 days after chemotherapy, but this is more common after months of chemotherapy.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if you have:
Low red blood cell count (anemia)
Anemia is when your body does not make enough red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen through your body. When you don't have enough red blood cells, you may feel tired (fatigue) or short of breath. Anemia can occur 7 to 14 days after each chemotherapy treatment but is more likely to occur after months of chemotherapy treatment.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if you have:
Low counts tend to occur 7 to 14 days after each chemotherapy treatment, but may sometimes last longer. When your white blood cell count is low, you are more likely to get an infection. Your doctor may prescribe a medication given by injection (shot) to raise your white blood cell count.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse:
Some people find they cannot think as clearly or as quickly as they did before treatment. You may find that you:
These symptoms can be caused by various factors. Fatigue, mood changes, stress, anxiety, normal aging, hormonal changes, the disease and anesthesia can affect your thinking for some period of time.
We are studying the impact that the medications we use for treating breast cancer can have on thinking. We hope to learn why problems with thinking occur, how long they last, and who develops them. We also hope to find out how to manage these problems until they get better.
Many people do not experience any of these problems. We cannot predict who might have them, but they often go away over time. If this is something you're worried about, talk with your doctor. He or she can also tell you about any studies that you might be eligible to participate in, if you're interested.
If you do experience any of these symptoms, an occupational therapist can help you maintain participation in everyday activities and can provide helpful strategies for improving attention, concentration, and memory.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if:
Some treatments may cause your periods to change (to heavy or light), become irregular, or stop. Also, your treatment plan may include medication or surgery to stop your periods.
Some treatments can cause painful areas or sores in the mouth or throat. These are often temporary.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if:
Some treatments can affect your muscles, bones, or joints. You might develop
What you can do:
Contact your doctor or nurse if:
Some chemotherapy causes nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting happen because chemotherapy irritates either the areas of the brain that control nausea or the cells lining the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines.
There are medications that are very good at preventing or controlling nausea. If the chemotherapy you will receive can cause nausea and vomiting, you will get antinausea medication before and/or after each chemotherapy treatment. This will reduce the chance that you will have nausea. You will also be given a prescription to take home with you. Your nurse will tell you how to take the medication. Taking it the right way will give it the best chance to work.
Nausea can make you want to stop eating. Not eating and drinking will deprive your body of the energy it needs to repair itself from the effects of your chemotherapy. Below are some hints to help you lessen your nausea. Also, you may ask your nurse for the resource Eating Well During and After Cancer Treatment.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Call your doctor or nurse if you:
Some chemotherapy can affect the nerves in your hands or feet. You could develop some numbness or tingling in your fingers, toes, or both. This may be temporary or permanent depending on how long you are on the chemotherapy. Your doctor may be able to make the neuropathy less bothersome by using medications or changing the dose of your chemotherapy.
What you can do:
What to avoid:
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have:
Pain is common for people with cancer. It can come from the tumor or as a result of cancer treatment. You should never feel you have to suffer from pain. If you're having pain, talk with your doctor. He or she will suggest ways to treat it based on the type of pain and how bad it is.
You and your doctor can discuss what will work best for you. If you choose to take medications to treat your pain, talk with your doctor or nurse about the side effects. Constipation, nausea, and sleepiness are common side effects from pain medications.
MSK also has a Palliative Medicine Service. These doctors and nurses can help you manage pain, and they can also help with other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea, as well as with emotional issues such as sadness, depression, and anxiety. These specialists are available for appointments at the main hospital Monday through Friday, and some appointments are available at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center. For more information about the Palliative Medicine Service go to www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/palliative-care, or speak with your doctor about making an appointment.
Breast cancer often changes how breasts look. This may be because of a tumor, radiation, or surgery. Although these changes can be covered by clothing, side effects such as hair loss may change your looks in ways that cannot be hidden as easily. Changes in your body from chemotherapy and hormone therapy may affect:
What you can do:
Chemotherapy can cause changes to your skin. You may have darkening of your skin, nails, tongue, and the veins in which you have received the chemotherapy. You may also have general skin changes, including:
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Contact your doctor or nurse if:
Having a metallic taste in your mouth is common during treatment. Some foods may taste bland or unpleasant.
What you can do:
Things to avoid:
Many women have vaginal dryness after menopause or from hormonal treatments. This can make penetration painful or difficult. It can also make it easier to get urinary tract infections (UTI).

Whether you've just been diagnosed with cancer, are undergoing treatment, or have overcome the disease, Memorial Sloan Kettering's Tobacco Treatment Program can help you stop smoking. Call for an appointment.
Does someone need to come with me each time I have treatment?
During your treatments you may receive medications that can make you very drowsy. If so, it would not be safe for you to drive a car or travel alone. It may be more convenient for a friend or family member to pick you up at the end of your treatment. After your first treatment, you will have a better idea of how you feel and what works best for you. You can also ask your doctor or nurse whether you are likely to feel drowsy.
What can I eat before and after chemotherapy? Are there any foods to avoid?
It is best to eat small regular meals before chemotherapy to prevent a heavy and full feeling. Food safety is important during treatment. Avoid raw or undercooked meat, fish, and poultry and unpasteurized products. Ask your nurse if you should review the Low Microbial Diet resource. Drink plenty of non-caffeinated liquids before and after your chemotherapy appointment to stay well hydrated.
Do I still need to take my antinausea medication if I'm not nauseous?
Nausea and vomiting can occur on the same day or as late as the second or third day after chemotherapy. If the chemotherapy you're receiving can cause nausea, your doctor will prescribe medication to lessen or prevent it. Always take your anti-nausea medication as instructed. Some medication works best if you take it before you become nauseated. If you are still nauseated while taking your medication as instructed, call your doctor or nurse.
Why wasn't I able to receive my chemotherapy when it was scheduled?
Chemotherapy works on both cancer cells and normal cells. Your chemotherapy is scheduled so that your body has time to recover between treatments. This allows normal cells to be replaced. Your body may need more time to reverse the effects of therapy (e.g., to allow mouth sores to heal or blood counts to rise to normal). Your doctor will decide if your chemotherapy should be postponed.
My chemotherapy treatment was delayed because my ANC was low. What is an ANC?
An ANC is an absolute neutrophil count. A neutrophil is a white blood cell that helps fight bacteria. The count is expected to fall 7 to14 days after chemotherapy. If your ANC is low, your doctor may delay your treatment until it is back to normal.
Can I do something to increase my blood counts?
Your blood counts will recover over time. Your doctor may prescribe medication to maintain or raise your white blood cell count. These are usually shots given between treatments. Sometimes treatment will be delayed to allow time for your blood counts to recover. There is no evidence that vitamins or a special diet will speed the recovery of your blood counts. However, if your iron levels are low, you may be more likely to have anemia (a low red blood cell count) and may be advised to take iron supplements.
I have chills or a temperature above 100.4° F (38° C), but the doctor's office is closed. How can I reach a doctor?
You can always reach a doctor. During evenings, weekends, or holidays, call the hospital operator at (212) 639-2000. Ask for the doctor covering your doctor.
I have not lost my hair yet and my counts have not dropped. Does this mean that the chemotherapy is not working?
Not having side effects such as hair loss, lowered blood counts, or nausea does not mean that the chemotherapy isn't working. Different therapies cause different side effects, to varying degrees. Also, different people can react differently to the same treatment. Your doctor and nurse will monitor your progress and response to treatment.
What can I take for a headache?
You may take acetaminophen (Tylenol® or Extra Strength Tylenol®) for a headache. If you feel that you have a fever or chills, check your temperature before you take acetaminophen. Otherwise, the acetaminophen may lower your temperature and hide a fever, which is usually the first sign of infection. Call your doctor or nurse if you have chills or a temperature greater than 100.4° F (38° C).
Ask your doctor or nurse if you may take products containing aspirin or ibuprofen, since they may increase the chance for bleeding with some chemotherapy. Your nurse can give you a list of products to avoid.
I've been having problems urinating. Is this normal?
Some chemotherapy can irritate the bladder. Side effects can be urgency, burning, or blood in the urine. These may be signs of an infection or irritation. Call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms; he or she may want a urine specimen. You may need to be treated for an infection. Make sure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of liquids each day and empty your bladder frequently.
Can I still take my other prescription medications?
In most cases, you can continue to take your prescription medications. Tell your doctor the names of all the medications, herbs, and supplements you take. These include the ones you need a prescription for and the ones you buy over the counter. Some medications, herbs, or supplements change the way the chemotherapy works. Do not start any new medications before checking with your doctor.
May I take vitamins or mineral supplements?
Avoid most vitamin, mineral, herbal, or other dietary supplements. They might interfere with your treatment or affect your cancer. They might also increase the side effects of your treatment. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about any vitamin, mineral, herbal or other dietary supplements you are taking or may be interested in taking.
Can I drink alcohol?
Many chemotherapy and other medications are processed by the liver. So is alcohol, which can:
For these reasons, we recommend you limit alcohol during chemotherapy. If you feel you must drink, please speak with your doctor or nurse.
Can I have dental work?
Do not have any procedure that can cause bleeding as this may allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream. If your blood counts are low, you are at a higher risk for a serious infection. Check with your doctor before you schedule any dental work, including cleanings or surgery.
Can I color or perm my hair?
We advise you not to color or perm your hair. Chemicals are abrasive to the hair follicles, speeding up the rate of hair loss during chemotherapy. If you must dye your hair, use a vegetable-based dye or discuss this further with your doctor.
Is a wig covered by insurance?
People who lose their hair from cancer treatment may have insurance coverage for a wig. In this case, the doctor should write a prescription for a "total cranial prosthesis for chemotherapy-induced alopecia" and include the breast cancer diagnosis code (174.9) on the prescription. Check with your insurance company for details.
Can I travel while I get chemotherapy?
Traveling is usually permitted, but it depends on your treatment and where you are going. Before you make any plans, discuss them with your doctor. Your doctor will advise you on precautions to take depending on where you are going. It may also be necessary for you and your doctor to plan a treatment holiday or break week from your treatment so you can take extended trips. Consider getting travel insurance in case you have to cancel your trip for any reason.
Will I be able to continue working?
Many people with advanced breast cancer continue to work. Whether you can work depends on the type of work, side effects of treatment, and symptoms of your breast cancer. Speak with your doctor or nurse if you are struggling to continue working or would like to take a leave of absence from work.

Exact solution to four-wave mixing with complex couplings: reflection geometry
Optics Letters, Vol. 21, Issue 5, pp. 321-323 (1996)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (252 KB)
An exact solution to photorefractive four-wave mixing equations with complex couplings in reflection geometry is obtained. It is shown that the efficiency of the process of phase conjugation can be enhanced by introduction of a frequency shift between the pumps and the signal, similar to the case of transmission geometry. However, to obtain an improved agreement with experiment, the inclusion of transverse effects is found to be necessary.

Kesari Balakrishna Pillai, a versatile genius, left an indelible mark in different intellectual fields in Kerala in the first half of the 20th century. He brought about a veritable paradigm shift in Malayalam literary criticism through his innovative, interdisciplinary approach, and his writings on art, particularly painting, are regarded as masterpieces. He was a source of inspiration for the best among his junior contemporaries. As is usual with such "special" people, much of Kesari's writings had a freak element, with the result that any mention of his name generally evoked a smile in most people. His contributions to history, substantial though, did not quite earn him a large circle of followers.
This book is a monograph by Kesari on the chronology and historical geography of that part of Asia that covers approximately the southern and western parts of the continent.
In the introductory chapter, Kesari criticises and rejects what have come to be called the 'Rankean canons' of historiography and makes a strong plea for taking traditions and legends into account while reconstructing the past. For him, Frazer of the Golden Bough is a much more acceptable authority and model for historical writing. In thus writing an alternative history, he contends, comparable legends and myths obtaining in the regions concerned are more useful than archaeological, epigraphical, and literary sources.
He has no difficulty in deriving 'Yudhishtira' from Sumerian 'Udultur' or identifying 'Prachinabarhis' of the Puranas with 'Erystheus' of the Greek legend; he is convinced that 'Cakshusha Manu' is the same as Greek 'Danaus' of Argos and 'Uta Napishtum' of Babylon. For him, the "protohistoric Olympiad era can be identified with the Kali or Agasthya era" and "Hercules was the Narasimha incarnation of Vishnu." If the chronology of all civilisations in the Old World had the same basis, their historical geography, too, rested on the same foundations. So also, in speaking about the "protohistoric" states, the author believes that the ancestors of "the Greeks and the Romans, of the Indians and Persians, of the Chinese and Tibetans, and of the Malays and Polynesians" were the same. Dvaraka was the same as Athens, Kosala was Kish, Mithila was Corinth, and Magadha was Nineveh. The list can go on endlessly. In the other chapters too, Kesari presents his ideas in a comparable fashion. It does not require any detailed argument to show that they do not meet the canons of common sense.
The range of reading evidenced by the essays is remarkable and their sweep is really breath-taking. It is entirely another matter that one may not be able to agree with the arguments and conclusions of Kesari. But they raise important questions about methodology. Is the practice of history as a discipline, in vogue in the academia, as impeccable as it was made out to be in the first half of the 20th century? Has this "scientific" discipline any monopoly over the retrieval of the past? Reject all his arguments, and you will still admire him for his boldness.
While the book is well printed, the editorial part of the production does considerable disservice to the author as well as the publisher, University of Kerala. The preface and the foreword may well serve as examples of how not to write anything.
Look at this passage appearing in the preface and make out whatever you can: "After a long process of researches and excavations with critical analysations of traditions, customs and myths of various provinces, he untied the cultural ancestry and surprisingly reached at the conclusion that the basic sources of human kind are one and the same."

"The man was just about to board a plane at the capital?s airport when a member of staff noticed that something was moving inside a box he was carrying," said an English-language paper, 7Days.
"The passenger was taken to one side and asked to open up his luggage, and inside were four snakes, two parrots and a squirrel, all alive and separated in different compartments inside the box," it added.
The National said the Saudi, booked on Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways and whose final destination was another unspecified Arab country, "was caught at the first security checkpoint" after landing in the Emirati capital on Thursday.
"Carrying animals on board is strictly prohibited. In this case, other passengers' safety was at risk," Khamis al-Marar, Abu Dhabi's acting chief of security affairs and ports, was quoted as saying.
He told 7Days that "the passenger had no certificates or documentation for the animals. And we didn?t know if they were rare animals or if they could have had diseases."
Licensed animals have to travel in specially designed boxes, stored in the aircraft's hold, he said in The National, also an English-language daily.

Brett Martel / Associated Press
With some help Anthony Davis could help turn the Pelicans into playoff contenders.
It also bolstered coach Monty Williams' reputation for developing young big men.But to lead New Orleans back into the playoffs for the first time since 2011, Davis is going to need a lot more help than he had in 2013-14. The Pelicans went 34-48, finishing 15 games behind Dallas, the eighth and final playoff team in the West.Under normal circumstances, the jobs of Williams and general manager Dell Demps would be in jeopardy. But the number and nature of injuries besetting the Pelicans were unusual. New Orleans' top six scorers, in terms of points per game, combined for 202 missed games.'It's hard to evaluate in a year like this because you have so many different lineups,' Williams said.Williams' peers around the league seemed to agree.'You feel bad for coach Williams,' said Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks, whose playoff bound team lost to New Orleans on Monday night. 'You need your players to have success in this league. I give him a lot of credit. He has managed a very difficult situation with the injuries and made it competitive.'There were only 12 games in which the 6-foot-10 Davis, who averaged 20.8 points and 10 rebounds per game, was able to play with forward Ryan Anderson (19.8 points per game), shooting guard Eric Gordon (15.4), former All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday (14.3) and versatile guard Tyreke Evans (14.3).Williams said the Pelicans have been studying those 12 games in an effort to get a sense of 'how potent that lineup is.'But Williams already knew he wasn't thrilled with how that group played defense, in part because Davis moved from power forward to center, a position at which his lack of bulk was sometimes a liability.'Defensively I didn't think we were that good with that lineup or that group because we didn't have a true center on the floor,' he said. 'You look at some of those games bigs had their way with us. And that's something we have to try to rectify this summer.'Demps said he still likes the Pelicans' young, core players and would like them to have a chance to grow together, but with some additional help.'It's tough because we didn't get a chance to see the group together,' Demps said. 'We're expecting to have everybody healthy at the start of next season in training camp, but we also want to add some things to it because the West is tough. You have to win 47, 50 games just to make the playoffs and our goal is not just to make the playoffs.'Even if Demps wanted to make major moves this offseason, it would be tricky. The Pelicans would not likely get optimum trade value for players rehabilitating from injuries.Gordon, who missed 18 games, had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Wednesday. Anderson, who missed 60 games, had neck surgery this month on a herniated cervical disk.Holiday, who missed 48 games, had surgery in late February for a fractured right shin. Jason Smith, a 7-footer who began the season as starting center, but missed 51 games, had right shoulder surgery in March.Meanwhile, the Pelicans won't have a first-round draft pick unless they get lucky in the draft lottery. Under the terms of the trade that brought Holiday to New Orleans, the Pelicans' first-round pick is protected if it falls in the top five. Otherwise, it goes to the 76ers.Demps said the Pelicans won't have the room under the salary cap to bring in a new maximum-contract player, but that he will still have the ability to sign players who can improve the club.'Financially, we're in good shape,' Demps said. 'We can still add things.'The Pelicans closed the season with two victories at home, where they went 22-19. In the past month, New Orleans beat a handful of playoff teams, including Miami, Oklahoma City, the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston.Demps said Williams deserved credit for establishing a blue-collar culture in which players several of whom did not start the season on NBA rosters competed hard to the end and upset some elite teams.'I'm really proud of how our guys adjusted to so many different lineups, so many different injuries, tough situations,' Williams said. 'Obviously we've got to get better. We've got to make some improvements in our roster for sure.'

are we safer?FEATURED LESSON PLAN: SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTS Overview: In this lesson, students will examine the investigative tool known as a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), which has become the primary data-gathering mechanism of the federal government since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Students will consider the definition and applicability of "suspicious behavior" through sample cases. They will then examine the "reasonable suspicion" standard the federal government is supposed to use in its surveillance. Finally, students will decide whether the use of SARs and similar tools has increased the security of the United States or threatens the liberties of its citizens. For primary source documents and other background materials for this lesson, please see Related Resources.

Icy Worlds
The six major icy satellites of Saturn have been known for many years through astronomical observations, although the Voyager encounters dramatically increased our knowledge of these bodies. All are composed of water ice with various amounts of silicate rock, and all have nearly circular orbits near the equatorial plane of Saturn. |
116k GIF - 22k JPEG NASA Press Release #P23265 |
The smallest of the icy moons, Mimas, is pockmarked with craters. A giant crater 130 kilometers (80 miles) across dominates this image returned from Voyager 1. A slightly larger impact could have shattered the moon into several fragments. |
This high resolution image of Rhea shows parts of its surface to be highly cratered, and hence very old. The bright areas on the inner walls of the craters may be fresh ice exposed by landslides. |
The outermost of the major icy satellites, Iapetus, has dark and light sides that have long been known from telescopic observations. The Voyager encounters showed that the dark side has a jagged boundary with the bright, heavily cratered hemisphere. The origin of the dark coating remains a mystery, although it may be created by eruptions of methane. |

Infrastructure Security Claims More Attention

States Challenge Feds on RTOs
The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 focused attention on energy security from several directions. A public poll conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide showed a dramatic increase in the number of Americans who see increasing domestic energy production as a key to protecting our national security. The survey clearly showed that Americans feel a new unease about their personal security and are looking to government to protect them from future acts of terrorism. Security was tightened at power plants, refineries, and pipelines while producers and utilities attempted to communicate reassurances to customers. Nevertheless, the Union of Concerned Scientists warned that security rules of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission were made obsolete on Sept. 11 because they currently do not require power plants to be protected against attacks by aircraft, boats, or trucks. Pending plans to transfer all responsibility for security at the nation's 104 nuclear plants to owners came under new criticism. Paul Leventhal, Pres. of the Nuclear Control Institute said the government should station National Guard troops and anti-aircraft units at all nuclear plants until the terrorist threat is controlled.
Senate Energy Committee chair, Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) first delayed further discussion of the Bush national energy policy to concentrate on immediate concerns for safety of nuclear power plants and the far flung interstate system of power lines and gas pipe lines. Recently he announced that hearings on the policy debate will reconvene after Oct. 14. He said, "I am confident that Congress and the Administration will come together to combine thoughtful, forward looking analysis of our current energy challenges with a willingness to take bold steps to address them." Whatever the outcome, it appears that FERC will be given a leading role in helping to increase domestic fuel production to reduce dependency upon uncertain oil from the Persian Gulf. Incoming Chair, Pat Wood reported the agency's highest priority was to help natural gas, oil, and electricity firms tighten security for their pipelines and transmission lines. The agency said it would expedite claims to recover costs of new security measures that might be needed.
Leaders of the three major energy production associations, America Petroleum Institute, American Gas Association, and Edison Electric Association, all said their members were in a better position to detect and prevent a problem because of systems installed to deal with the potential Year 2000 (Y2K) issues. "One of the dividends of Y2K is the benefit of being able to check the integrity of all our systems and the ability to isolate problems if they develop," said Red Cavaney, Pres. of API. Edison Electric Institute has organized a special task force that will examine existing security measures then "turn inside out to find areas that may need improvement."

Neela: Look. I'm sorry I've been... I don't know, bitchy, about this whole thing. It's just not comfortable for me. Lying and having someone else cover my mistakes. It just keeps compounding, one on top of the other. (pause)
Gallant: I'm being deployed to Iraq. I'm heading for Texas tomorrow morning.
Neela: You haven't finished your residency.
Gallant: Yeah, I know. I'm gonna finish up the last few electives down there.
Neela: They called you up, just like that?
Gallant: Yeah.
Neela: You're a coward.
Gallant: What, what?
Neela: Coward and a liar! I never asked you to do this for me, but you did! And now you're leaving, and I'm supposed to live with the fact that I killed a man, and that you helped and lied for me to cover it up.
Gallant: Listen, Neela.
Neela: No, Michael. Go to bloody Iraq. And tell your self you've done something noble.
Gallant: I had to protect you and Dr. Carter.
Neela: No...you didn't.
Corday: How long have you two been together?
Kerry: Three years.
Corday: One of which included a pregnancy, that gives bonus time in the equation.
Jerry: Oh, hey! Kovac called. He said next time he's gonna have a triple latte first. Does that make any sense?
Sam: (smiles) Yeah.
Chen: Are you two living together now?
Sam: No.
Chen: Well, for what it's worth, I think Luka's a good guy.
Sam: Oh, wait. You didn't...
Chen: ...Sleep with him? No, I went in a completely different direction. (Waves at Dr.Pratt)
Although in the opening credits, Noah Wyle does not appear in this episode.
This episode marks Sharif Atkins's final appearance as a series regular. He would later return in the Season 12 episodes "Split Decisions" and "The Gallant Hero and the Tragic Victor."

Maintaining QEMU and libvirt patches
From FedoraProject
The qemu
package maintainers use the qemu-fedora.git git repository in order to maintain the package's patch set.
The basic idea is:
- There should be an upstream tag corresponding to the pristine upstream sources - e.g. the
tag in qemu-kvm.git corresponds to the qemu-kvm-devel-88 tarball - Each commit in
descending from the upstream tag is an individual patch in the RPM - Each commit is preferably cherry-picked from upstream using
git cherry-pick -x
- Each commit should be signed off by the package maintainer who added it
- We match commits to patch filenames using
meta-data - The patch set should be re-based using
git rebase <upstream tag>
when moving to a new upstream release
In order to sync the patches from git to CVS, do e.g:
$> git clean -f $> git format-patch -N kvm-88 $> for p in 000*.patch; do mv $p /pkgs/qemu/devel/$(awk '/^Fedora-patch: / {print $2;}' $p); done

Jonkheer (female equivalent: Jonkvrouw) is a Dutch honorific of nobility. In Belgium, the title of Écuyer (in French) or Jonkheer/Jonkvrouw (in Dutch) is the lowest title within the nobility system, recognised by the Court of Cassation.[citation needed]
Honorific of nobility[edit]
Jonkheer or Jonkvrouw is literally translated as "young lord" or "young lady". In medieval times such a person was a young and unmarried son or daughter of a high ranking knight or nobleman. Many noble families could not support all their sons to become a knight because of the expensive equipment. So the eldest son of a knight was a young lord while his brothers remained as esquires.[citation needed]
However, in the Low Countries (and other parts of continental Europe), only the head of most noble families did and does carry a title, with inheritance via male lineage. This resulted therefore that most of the nobility was, and is nowadays, untitled in the Netherlands. 'Jonkheer', or its female equivalent 'jonkvrouw' developed therefore quite early into a different but general meaning, i.e., an honorific to show that someone does belong to the nobility, but does not possess a title. The abbreviation jhr., or jkvr. for women, is placed in front of the name (preceding academic, but not state titles).
The honorific could be compared more or less with "Edler" in Austria or "Junker" in Germany, though due to circumstances of German and especially Prussian history, "Junker" assumed connotations of militarism absent from the Dutch equivalent. Comparing it with the English nobility, it could be roughly translated as "The Honourable", when the untitled person is a son or daughter of a hereditary knight, baron, viscount or count, or "Lord" or "Lady", when the untitled person is member of the old (Dutch) nobility, untitled but of high ranking, and from preceding 1815 (i.e. "Heer van X" or Lord of X).[citation needed]
The spouse of a jonkheer is not named Jonkvrouw but is named "Mevrouw", translated into English as Madam, and abbreviated as "Mrs." (with the use of her husband's name). However, if she is a jonkvrouw in her own right, she can be styled as such (together with her maiden name), unless she chooses to use the name of her husband.
Title of nobility[edit]
Jonkheer is an official Dutch mark of status (not a title), as stated above, and is used as such, most notably by members of the Royal Family with the style Jonkheer van Amsberg.
Often however a title of nobility may be claimed by a family whose members are officially recognised only as jonkheeren, the title not being acknowledged by the modern monarchy either because the family is registered as untitled nobility and may thus only use the honorific or predicate, or because the family has not requested official registration of the title, but possesses a grant of nobility which predates the founding of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815.
In Belgium, a number of families may bear the hereditary title of Ecuyer or Jonkheer.[citation needed]
The coronet of rank for untitled nobility in the Netherlands and Belgium is the same as that of a Ridder, i.e. a hereditary knight: a plain circlet of gold with eight pearls, five of which are seen in a representation, all on golden points. Furthermore, on the heraldic coronet the golden circlet is surrounded with a pearl collar.
Unrecognised titleholders use the same coronet of rank as hereditary knights, described above. Unrecognised titles can not officially use a coronet of rank and thus use the coronet that they have been historically awarded, if any at all.
Jonkheer's most well-known use among English-speaking people is as the root of the name of the city of Yonkers, New York. The word was likely a nickname, as opposed to an honorific, associated with Adriaen van der Donck; a young Dutch law-maker, pioneering politician and landowner in New Netherland. While his business ventures largely proved less than successful, the city of Yonkers takes its name from his steadfast work in the formation of the state of Manhattan itself.
The word, in reference to Van der Donck, is variously spelled among modern scholars. In Thomas F. O'Donnell's introduction to a translation of van der Donck's A Description of the New Netherland, it is suggested that van der Donck was known as "The Joncker". Russell Shorto's The Island at the Center of the World has "jonker", while Edward Hagaman Hall's book on Philipse Manor Hall uses "youncker". "Jonker" (old Dutch spelling joncker) is another form of the word "jonkheer".
Jonker Street (Jonkerstraat) in Malacca, Malaysia, which derives its name from Dutch, can be traced back to when the Dutch ruled Malacca from 1641 to 1798.

Back From Pilgrimage: Some Highlights
The pilgrimage was challenging for me in many ways, but the sacrifices were well worth it. Here are just a few highlights of my trip:
1. The opportunity to personally meet and shake hands with Pope Benedict XVI. (I was hoping to just be able to get a glimpse of him!)
2. The opportunity to meet with approximately 18oo fellow Oblates, Brothers, and Sisters from the Community of St. Jean (John) from all over the world in Rome to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its founding.
3. The opportunity to meet our 93 year old founder, Fr. Dominique Phillipe, O.P. -- to hear his words of inspiration and encouragement -- and to receive the Holy Eucharist from him.
4. Eucharistic Adoration at St. Peter's Basilica
5. Visiting the Catacombs.
6. Touring the Sistine Chapel, which was breath-taking.
7. Visiting the hermitage of St. Francis of Assisi. (Assisi was my favorite place.)
8. Picnicking with the Community outside of the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
9. Visiting St. Dominic's Basilica in Siena, where my Confirmation saint -- Catherine of Siena -- lived. Her incorrupt head is located here.
10. Eucharistic Adoration at Siena, where a Eucharistic miracle first occurred over 250 years ago and continues today.
I hope to share more with you as I settle into my new home. Thanks again for all your prayers. God bless you!

Welcome back! Your pilgrimage highlights sound like it was a wonderful trip in many ways! Looking forward to the "expanded" version.

Welcome back! You've been missed in St. Blog's. But wow, we can't wait for your elaboration of some of those events - especially the B16 encounter! Too cool!
- Catholic Fire said...
It's great to be back. I missed you all and remembered each of you in prayer while I was on pilgrimage.
There was a lot that happened in the past couple of weeks. It was like an intensive traveling retreat -- with Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, community rosary and prayer -- plus so much more -- happening daily. I am still digesting it all. It was rather overwhelming for me.
Thanks for the warm welcome back messages.
God bless you,
Jean - 2/28/06, 1:56 PM

To help ONR improve its technology transfer efforts, James DeCorpo, Director of the Ocean, Atmosphere, and Space Department of ONR, requested that the OSB review the status of technology research in ONR laboratories and recommend programs that would serve to meet the science and technology needs of the Navy, other agencies, industry, and academia. The OSB formed the Committee on Alternative Uses of Naval Technology in response to this request. The committee was further requested to produce a report detailing (1) how ONR now interacts with industry, (2) how those avenues of interaction may be improved, and (3) future areas of technology research that may be appropriate for ONR to pursue, which might have applications to interests outside the Navy. The committee did not discuss specific areas of basic research for ONR to pursue in the future (the OSB has provided such advice in more than 12 recent reports to ONR), but rather focused on establishing future technology needs of the nonmilitary industrial marine sector. This report, Expanding the Uses of Naval Ocean Science and Technology, offers advice that should lead to a more effective transfer of technology from ONR-sponsored scientists and laboratories to the nonmilitary marine sector. More effective use of U.S. defense research dollars could serve to strengthen scientific research, marine transportation, economic development, and global competitiveness.
Ocean Studies Board, Chairman

An impressive interpretation of the classic swinguard from A.G.A. Campoloin. This knife measures 13 inches when opened and has a stylized swinguard. This knife features a polished stainless steel bayonet blade and solid nickel silver diamond-shaped firing and safety slide buttons. The rich stag handles are offset with brass pins over brass liners. The blade has fast, smooth action in spite of its size. The sliding safety protects against the accidental release of the blade. The stylized design gives this knife an almost medieval look. This is a must have for any serious Italian knife collector.
Variations in color of the horn are entirely the work of nature and in no way affect the quality of the knife.

Pitching is his gift. But Ubaldo Jimenez has many more dimensions. He is a photographer, is fluent in the Internet and dabbles in artwork. Recently, he designed something cool, something he believes hints of the future.
He drew a black phoenix, framed by red baseball seams. The picture adorns his purple New Balance workout shirts. "See, he's rising from the ashes," Jimenez said proudly. "There's a story there."
Is it the one Jimenez will write over the next three months? More salient, will Jimenez even be with the Rockies in three weeks? Because the trade market is bereft of young arms — or quality arms in general — the Rockies are listening when teams call about Jimenez. They are under no pressure to move him, his $17.95 million contract over the next three years a bargain even if he's mediocre.
But when teams don't meet expectations, they pick up the phone when others call. General managers are talking. They have called Dan O'Dowd about Jimenez. The Yankees, Tigers, Rangers and Phillies are among those with interest.
"We would have to be absolutely overwhelmed," O'Dowd said. "It would have to be a Herschel Walker deal."
That 1989 trade was the largest in NFL history, involving 18 players, as the Cowboys restocked their roster courtesy of the Vikings. O'Dowd was using hyperbole, but the fact remains: Any deal involving Jimenez would have to be an obvious win, addressing multiple holes and bringing an elite arm in return.
Remember the haul the Rangers received from the Braves for Mark Teixeira? Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus. That's the kind of win-win we're talking, based on my translation of the tea leaves.
Jimenez doesn't want to go anywhere. But he isn't naive. The Rockies have told him they are listening. This is a new experience for him.
"I won't be bothered by trade rumors. I am mentally strong," he said. "Don't forget that about me."
Jimenez's season got off on the wrong foot for a number of reasons. He didn't do the same throwing program over the winter. Then his catch-up period was interrupted by thumb cuticle and groin injuries in spring training. The thumb affected his confidence. He wasn't sure where the ball was going when it left his hand. And it wasn't going as fast because he was still building up arm strength.
"Now I am almost there. I am getting to 95 miles per hour consistently. You are going to see more, I promise you that," Jimenez said. "I love Colorado. I want to do well for this team. I want to be here for these guys. But you never know in this business."
Talk will continue. Tweets will mushroom. Jimenez is available, but he's not. The Rockies don't want to trade him, unless they can't say no. All the pieces have to fall into place. The picture has to be perfect. But can it really top his vision of the phoenix rising from the ashes?
Rock this way.
Without saying anything, the Rockies are saying everything about their roster. The Rockies had a certain number of at-bats they wanted Ian Stewart and Dexter Fowler to accumulate in Triple- A. That, along with a spoonful of humility. The results have been encouraging. Both have made some adjustments offensively.
The plan is to keep them here for the remainder of the season. The Rockies can't go into the winter not knowing where they stand with these players. If they are part of the future, the Rockies can address other needs. If they aren't, it's time to look for the best deal.
Catching on.
Eliezer Alfonzo won't be the only new catcher you see this season. The Rockies are expected to take a look at Wilin Rosario and Jordan Pacheco at some point.
Rosario has long been considered the Rockies' catcher of the future. He hasn't hit as expected in the minors, but the Rockies still hold him in high regard. Pacheco could eventually see some playing time at first and third base, depending how everything shakes out at the major- league level. Trying to learn the catcher position has had an adverse effect on his bat. Could he be a younger version of Ty Wigginton down the line? Stay tuned.
Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel, on Heath Bell's slide near the mound during the All-Star Game in Phoenix: "He kind of threw it out there (Monday) when we were in the outfield and we all thought he was joking." Bell told me that he practiced the slide on his lawn at home. . . . The prosecution's errors in the Roger Clemens trial amounted to the groundball through Bill Buckner's legs. Simply inexcusable. . . . All-star Miguel Cabrera, on Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. "I saw him in the winter league when he was just a kid. I told people he was going to be really good. It's nice to know my eyes didn't fool me."
Carlos Beltran, OF, Mets
Background: He wasn't a player. He was a human video game. The bat became his joystick. In the 2004 playoffs, Carlos Beltran went Nintendo. He finished 20-for-46 with eight home runs and 14 RBIs. Those three weeks of havoc turned him from an interesting free-agent prospect to a man commanding keys to the Brinks truck. Beltran, who had played well in the relative obscurity of Kansas City and Houston, chose the highest bidder. He has largely been a disappointment with the Mets after signing a seven-year, $119 million deal. The Mets have been to the playoffs just once during his tenure, which has been stained by numerous leg injuries.
What's up: Beltran is back. He's not a superstar because he no longer plays Gold Glove defense, but he is an available bat who would fit in any number of lineups. The Mets began shedding money with the Francisco Rodriguez trade to Milwaukee. Reluctant to move Jose Reyes at this time, New York is looking to add a single top prospect for the slugging outfielder.
Renck's take: Beltran is hitting .287 with 14 home runs, 28 doubles and 59 RBIs. That's the type of presence that could translate to two more wins for a contender — which just might be the difference in the race. The Giants make a lot of sense. They are desperate for more offense with Buster Posey out for the year and Freddy Sanchez's return questionable. Boston, Philadelphia — he would help protect Ryan Howard — Detroit and Atlanta all would be fits as well. The Rockies would love to get involved, but aren't going to spend the money. The Mets will be a little more patient with this move. Rodriguez was a salary dump. The Mets want one solid piece in return for this highly coveted veteran.
All-Star Game needs tweaking to help regain former luster
What: Only 11 million viewers watched the All-Star Game in Phoenix, making it the lowest-rated ever. It drives home the point that adjustments are necessary.
When: The alterations must begin immediately so they can take effect for the Midsummer Classic next July in Kansas City.
Background: The All-Star Game was hatched by a sportswriter. It has gone through many stages. In the early years, bragging rights were enormous. At one point, captains were selected and were allowed to fill out the lineup. That explains why Willie Mays had himself hitting leadoff. In the early 2000s, apathy set in, and players were lined up to catch limos to airports in the fourth inning. After a regrettable tie in 2002, home-field advantage in the World Series was tied to the outcome. As commissioner Bud Selig said, "It's not unconstitutional to help your TV partners."
Renck's take: True. But what helps more is to have the best players involved. There were 84 all-stars this year due to injuries and pitchers who were ineligible after throwing on Sunday. The first and easiest adjustment is to push to the game to Wednesday. That would make travel easier on Monday, and free all pitchers to be in play. The American League was robbed of its aces, with Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia among those unavailable. Secondly, it's time to reinsert captains. The home run derby is unmercifully long, but David Ortiz and, to a lesser degree, Prince Fielder brought life to the contrived contest. There was a sense of pride and willing participation. I like the idea of letting the captains make out the all-star lineups.
Selig is open to making changes and can't miss the opportunity to improve a game that is fading in the ratings.
1. Red Sox: Looking to add an OF bat, which could lead them to Josh Willingham, Jeff Baker or Ryan Spilborghs.
2. Rangers: C.J. Wilson's ability to remain an ace in second half will be key to playoff push.
3. Marlins: Trader Jack has prodded Hanley Ramirez back onto the right track.
1. Cubs: With each loss, manager Mike Quade appears more overmatched. He might not survive the season.
2. Orioles: The Buck stops here: Orioles lack talent to contend over long haul in AL East.
3. Padres: Offense is akin to a drunk throwing punches outside a bar until he peacefully falls into the street.

Trust plays important roles on effective interaction and cooperation for multi-agent systems(MAS). This study aims at finding out the current situation and future trends of computational trustfor multi-agent systems. Through defining seven common compositional elements for the computational trust models, the study points out significant weaknesses in the current design. Finally, the paper figures out the future research trends through discussion and analysis around the strengths and weaknesses identified. Also the paper proposes an idea of using ontology and XML technologies such as RDF that allow systems to provide both human and machine readable annotations for trust models.
