Three Medications Beneficial in Breast Cancer Prevention-- Rick Ansorge
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
TUESDAY, Sept. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Three medications -- the selective estrogen receptor modulators tamoxifen and raloxifene, and tibolone, a drug not approved in the United States but used in many other countries to treat menopausal symptoms -- may reduce the risk for primary breast cancer. However, the three drugs are variously associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events, endometrial cancer, or stroke, according to a study published online Sept. 15 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Heidi D. Nelson, M.D., of the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, and colleagues conducted a systematic review of seven randomized controlled trials and one head-to-head trial.
Compared to placebo, the researchers found that tamoxifen, raloxifene, and tibolone significantly reduced the risk of invasive breast cancer (risk ratios, 0.70, 0.44, and 0.32, respectively). However, they found that tamoxifen and raloxifene are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events (risk ratios, 1.93 and 1.60, respectively), tamoxifen is a causal factor for endometrial cancer (risk ratio, 2.13), and that tibolone is a causal factor for strokes in older women.
"Before applying these findings to practice, clinicians must assure that women understand their individual risks for breast cancer and favorably balance these with the unwanted effects of risk reducing medications," the authors conclude.

Facilities Overview
As the name suggests Meadow Cheese Co started life as a processor of cheese products, supplying various formats of cheese to the food manufacturing and food service sectors. This provided a strong foundation for the business which grew quickly, outgrowing our original production facilities and establishing ourselves as a key player within the industry.
Over the years however, we have evolved and adapted to ever changing market demands. Through investment in equipment, development and people we have moved from simply being a processor of cheese to being an expert manufacturer. We now operate a comprehensive processing division, initially concentrating on cheese and pizza sectors, but through its success has enabled us to enter the dessert, sauce and bakery sectors.
Continued investment in manufacturing equipment and development facilities has ensured that our customers benefit from our capabilities through improved product performance and supply chain efficiencies.
We continue our evolutionary journey with innovation and quality being our key drivers. Through close working relationships with our customers we aim to offer solutions which can truly add-value to our customers' proposition allowing for long-term sustainable growth.

RETRIBUTION : Excerpt
Perry's entire body tensed as he scanned the park for Lilly's petite figure. His cousins and men were the only people in sight. Oh God he was an ass, if something happened to her now because of him—
"Lilly!" he bellowed, startling the four ladies. He paid them no heed. "Lilly!"
Callous bastard. He shook his head. He should have known better. Why was it that Lilly could unman him so easily, turn his mind to pudding? He truly needed to get his wits about him.
They rushed toward him, Gardner and Kerrigan in tow.
"What have you done, Perry?" Maebh asked.
"Maebh. What I have done I am all too eager to remedy. Do not cast aspersions on my soul just yet. Right now I simply need to find her."
"No! I've no time for this! Gardner! Kerrigan!"
"But Perry—"
"Not. Now. Maebh!"
Shock in her eyes Maebh turned from him as he sent Gardner off with Isadore and Poppy and Kerrigan with Maebh and Saoirse in another direction. She threw one last glance at Perry then moved off, around the lake.
He stared across the park without seeing. His mind considered options, but he didn't pay much attention as he blindly strode away from the lake, deeper into the park. He had to find her, and soon. It wasn't just that he had to find a way to apologize, but if Hepplewort— he stopped the train of thought. There were stands of trees breaking up the vastness of the sweeping green lawns. He peered into each copse as he passed, his eyes searching for a slash of crimson.
Several times he ran for a tree, only to find the breeze playing tricks on him. He turned and walked toward a thicket bordering another copse and paused, pulling a flower from a bush and crushing it in his hand, letting the petals fall to the ground slowly as he moved deeper into the trees.
How could I have been so cold as to speak to her that way? How am I going to repair this? Regardless of station, regardless of possibility and future, he knew she deserved more from him, no matter how deeply that affected his way of life. He needed to stop thinking of her as the poor damaged servant girl from Kelso.
He groaned. He suddenly wanted the impossible from her, the responsibility of her. But she was a lowly scullery maid, possibly someday to rise as high as lady's maid, but no more—never to a rank suitable for his attention, never to a status at which he could offer. He really wasn't himself if he was considering marrying a scullery maid.
He shook his head, leaning back against a tree. She could be anywhere by now and she had every right to run, to leave. He had treated her as badly as Hepplewort—no, worse. Hepplewort had never made her promises, spoken or unspoken, so there was no basis for his destruction. Hepplewort was a stranger, but Perry had given Lilly kindness, sensitivity, and a certain regard—then he took it all back in one fell swoop.
His jaw clenched, and he closed his eyes tight against the sting behind them.
He felt irretrievably broken for his actions. He wouldn't find peace until he found Lilly and repaired this damage. Yet he didn't think it possible, and had no right to try. She certainly shouldn't accept it, she shouldn't accept him. In fact, she should stay away. It would be far better for her if he never saw her again—but he couldn't imagine never seeing her again. And then there was Hepplewort. Still…somewhere. He panicked at the thought, his chest seizing and his eyes flying wide as he tried to breathe.
He turned to head back toward the open lawns and—
She was there, too far to touch but close enough he caught the scent of his own bath oils on her skin. Her eyes were on fire, her spine rigid, her hands clasped in her skirts. She had never been so beautiful.
"Lilly!" He collapsed before her, his breath finally loosed. Sitting back on his knees, he tangled his hands in her skirts and pulled her to him as though he needed proof of her existence. He buried his face in the folds. She smelled of fresh cut lawn and warmed sugar and him. "I thought the worst possible, oh God I thought—"
Her hands opened in panic at her sides.
"I beg you, I never should have said what I said," he said. "I was— You should never forgive me. I beg you forgive me. You have me at such a disadvantage, I have never felt—" He shook his head. "I don't know what I feel." He couldn't bear to look at her, knowing how she must look upon him, knowing he would see her anger. He couldn't see her anger again. His shoulders shook.
"Perry," she breathed.
He moved his arms around her knees and pulled her closer still, turning his head to the side and holding her closely.
"I think it would be better if I left," she whispered, her hand coming down to stroke his hair.

A federal grand jury in Las Cruces, N.M., returned a five-count indictment today against Gabriela Gutierrez of Columbus in connection with a firearms trafficking investigation, U.S. Attorney Robert Pitman announced.
Gutierrez is charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of making false statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms, and, two counts of smuggling goods from the United States.
The indictment alleges that from January 2010 to March 2011, Gutierrez conspired with her husband, Blas Gutierrez and others to buy weapons in the United States, knowing that they were intended to be smuggled into Mexico.
The indictment further alleges that as part of the conspiracy, Gabriela Gutierrez recruited another person to straw-purchase 10 firearms on Feb. 12, 2011, from Chaparral Guns in Chaparral, N.M., and paid the straw purchaser $1,000 for cooperating.
The indictment also alleges that on Jan. 15, 2011, Gutierrez paid about $1,000 to a different straw purchaser for buying another 10 firearms from Chaparral Guns.
If convicted, Gutierrez faces statutory maximum sentences of up to five years in federal prison for each of the conspiracy and false statement charges, and up to 10 years in federal prison for each of the smuggling charges.
U.S. officials said that so far, 12 people have entered guilty pleas in connection with this investigation, including 10 of out 11 persons who were indicted in March.
Ignacio Villalobos of Columbus, N.M.
No sentencing dates have been scheduled.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with assistance from the Chihuahua State Police in Palomas, Mexico and the Secretariat of Public Security in Juárez, Mexico.
The U.S. Marshal's Service, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, New Mexico State Police, Las Cruces Police Department, El Paso Police Department, and other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies also helped with the investigation.
Assistant United States Attorneys Greg McDonald and Steven Spitzer are prosecuting the case.

MIAMI -- The Hanley Ramirez situation didn't seem to bother his teammates too much.
Brian Barden drove in two runs while replacing the benched Ramirez, helping ace Josh Johnson and the Florida Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 on Tuesday.
Ramirez, a two-time All-Star shortstop and the reigning NL batting champion, sat a day after being pulled by manager Fredi Gonzalez for failing to hustle. Ramirez, who said he wasn't loafing, sniped at his manager and teammates and said there was no reason to apologize in pregame remarks.
His teammates including Dan Uggla, a two-time All-Star himself, supported Gonzalez.
"I think Skip needed to do what he needed to do, which was take Hanley out of the game at that time," Uggla said. "Does that mean we love Hanley any less? No, we have all made mistakes. We've all done things like, 'Oh, maybe I shouldn't have done that.' But you move on, you move forward, you get past it."
Minus their highest-paid player, the Marlins did fine.
Johnson (4-1) pitched two-hit ball for seven innings, Cameron Maybin and Uggla had back-to-back home runs and Barden neatly filled in.
"Twenty-five men, everybody plays, everybody contributes," Gonzalez said.
Ramirez was yanked in the third Monday night, an inning after he accidentally kicked a ball and lightly jogged after it. Earlier in the game, he fouled a ball off his left shin and was examined by a trainer.
Before this game, Ramirez said of Gonzalez: "That's OK. He doesn't understand that. He never played in the big leagues." Responded Gonzalez: "He's right, but I know how to play the game."
Ramirez also added, "We got a lot of people dogging it after ground balls."
Ramirez was on the field for batting practice but didn't play. He did not comment after the game.
The verbal battle did not distract the Marlins, who won for the seventh time in the last nine games.
"It was a team effort and it's all about picking each other up and having each other's back," Maybin said. "I think we did a great job of that, not letting any of the outside stuff affect us."
Johnson improved to 3-1 with a 1.00 ERA lifetime against Arizona. He struck out nine and walked two.
"He's probably the best unheralded pitcher in our league," Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch said. "He doesn't get a lot of attention down here in Florida, but he's pretty good. He's got a lot of weapons and knows how to pitch."
Billy Buckner (0-1) made his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Reno. The 26-year-old righty, who is not related to the former big leaguer of the same name, was effective early before running into trouble in the fourth.
Buckner hit Gaby Sanchez with a pitch and walked Brett Hayes with two outs to load the bases. Buckner then hit Barden with a pitch, too, giving the Marlins a 1-0 lead.
The Marlins added another run in the fifth on doubles by Uggla and Jorge Cantu off the left-field wall in nearly in the same location.
"I got it in on them, but I left it up just enough where they could get under it," Buckner said.
Barden hit an RBI single off recently acquired Saul Rivera in the sixth. Three batters later, Maybin launched a three-run homer to deep left-center field. Uggla followed with his 10th home run for a 7-0 lead.
"That's not the way I wanted to start in that situation, but hopefully tomorrow I'll have another chance and it will be better," said Rivera, acquired a day earlier from the Cleveland Indians for cash.
Brian Sanches and Clay Hensley pitched the final two innings for the Marlins, who recorded their first shutout since April 18 when they blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0.

I don't own a car and I live in Guatemala, I have to take the bus everywhere I go (or a taxi). I love glass money jars that you cannot get into. I put my bus/taxi money into my 'long term goal' jar every time I walk instead of taking the bus. There are days I may walk 5+ miles!
I buy Sorrento and Spring salads and baby spinach, all in cellophane. I'd place a paper towel in an opened bag to absorb moisture and fold the opened end, but the greens began to rot soon. A few nights ago, I opened a Spring mix and tossed it back in the refrigerator with no towel and without folding the edge. Two days later the greens were as crisp as they'd been when purchased. An opened spinach is also crisp. Proof that evaporation is more effective than absorption in a closed bag?

|The ligament augmentation device in hamstring grafts for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7943519 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Twenty-eight patients who had reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament with a ligament augmentation device in the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were compared with 32 patients who had reconstructions with semitendinosus and gracilis tendons alone. Preoperatively, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups with respect to age, sex, Tegner activity level, and time from injury to operation. Mean postoperative followup was 31.4 months for the augmentation group and 32.3 months for the nonaugmentation group. At postoperative evaluation, there was no difference in the 2 groups with respect to Lysholm knee scores, return to activity as measured by Tegner levels, KT-1000 arthrometer laxity testing, presence of pivot shift or Lachman sign, range of motion, and the patient's subjective overall rating of the surgery. Twenty-six of the 28 patients (93%) with augmentation rated their results as either "good" or "excellent" compared with 30 of the 32 patients (94%) with no ligament augmentation who rated their results as good or excellent. Four patients with the ligament augmentation devices needed reoperation for recurrent effusions and pain. No patients in the nonaugmentation group had recurrent effusions.

Police Chief Chuck Wood said the woman, in her 80s, received a telephone call from a caller telling her she had won a 2013 BMW car.
Wood said the caller told the woman she needed to pay an import fee as the car would be delivered via Canada.
The caller instructed the woman to fill up prepaid PayPal and MoneyPak Green Dot cards to pay for the charges, Wood said.
He said the woman complied and the caller called back and retrieved passwords and account numbers from her.
"It required multiple contacts with the victim," Wood said.
Wood said the scammer called the woman several times over the course of about four months and said she needed to buy more of the $500 prepaid cards because of various fees, import costs and holdups with customs.
He said the victim eventually gave over $9,000 in funds from prepaid cards to the scammer, who kept telling her various reasons why the car had not arrived yet.
Wood said the calls were routed through a Chinese telemarketing company but the caller could be anywhere in the world.
Wood said police are still trying to locate the origin of the calls.
The scam is a variant of one where a caller informs a person he or she has won a prize but needs to send money upfront in order to collect.
"Never send money to someone who calls on the phone," Wood said.

www.sitemaps.org/, posted 2009 by peter in development reference search standard webdesign xml
Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

To follow in the shoes of Riot.
By Tim Colwill on April 9, 2013 at 8:40 am
In what might well be described as "a very smart move", Blizzard have announced the acquisition of the IGN Pro League — including the technology, assets, and some of the employees. The acquired goodies will be mashed together into Blizzard's own eSports team, based in San Francisco.
The news follows on the heels of Blizzard announcing a major overhaul to the StarCraft II WCS including new global broadcasting partners and a massive $1.6 million prize pool. Part of the overhaul included the discussion of a new "central hub" for players to follow along with all the action, which seems to be what Blizzard are angling at with this announcement today.
Blizzard won't be the first developer to try and bring eSports coverage in-house — Riot already does the same thing, and it's working out pretty well for them. It's not clear exactly what Blizzard will be using their new eSports office for, but it'll be interesting to watch.

Senator Brown stands on the banks of the Cuyahoga river in the rain to make announcement
CLEVELAND - Waterways, bridges, aging sewer systems--infrastructure. How to repair it and how to pay for it. Senator Sherrod Brown announced new legislation that he plans to introduce that he said would help cities like Cleveland pay for projects and put Americans back to work. Local lawmakers joined Brown and stood in a downpour to make the announcement.
Brown held the news conference on the banks of the Cuyahoga River, a section known as Irishtown Bend. It is closed to collapse, posing a threat to companies that rely on the river to do business.
"Infrastructure means jobs today and economic development tomorrow, " said Brown.
Browns bill would create a national infrastructure bank to provide loans and loan guarantees to projects that are in need of federal assistance because these projects are unable to obtain full financing at reasonable terms in the private market.

Kia to build $1 billion Mexico auto plant
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said Wednesday the company will invest more than $1 billion in the factory and attract another $1.5 billion from Kia suppliers in Mexico. The plant will produce 300,000 vehicles a year and be completed in the first half of 2016, Kia Vice Chairman Lee Hyoung-keun said at an event with Pena Nieto in Mexico City.
Kia's commitment expands on Mexico's automaking prowess. The nation's output is poised to surpass 3 million vehicles this year for the first time, according to the Mexican Automobile Industry Association, buoyed by plant openings since November for Nissan, Honda and Mazda.
"Having a Korean company enter Mexico will mean that practically all global automakers will be represented in the country," Armando Soto, president of Kaso & Asociados, a Mexico City-based auto industry consultant, said in a telephone interview. "It will also trigger large investments from Korean auto-parts companies."
Pena Nieto didn't spell out what models would be produced at the factory, which will be built in Pesqueria, near Monterrey. That would make Seoul-based Kia the first automaker with an assembly facility in Nuevo Leon state, based on a tally compiled by the automobile trade group.
"Having the option of investing in any country, a transnational company as prestigious as Kia Motors chose Mexico," Pena Nieto said at Wednesday's event. "This shows the confidence global investors have in the present and future of Mexico."
Kia is partly owned by Hyundai Motor Co., Kia's larger affiliate. Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said last year that Hyundai was among automakers considering building a Mexico plant.
In June, Daimler and Nissan said they will jointly produce Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti models at a new 1- billion euro ($1.3 billion) plant in Mexico. BMW followed the Daimler-Nissan announcement by saying last month that it would spend $1 billion on a new Mexican factory.
The Kia plant probably will produce Forte compact cars and Rio subcompacts, which Kia currently makes only in Korea, said Ed Kim, industry analyst for AutoPacific Inc. in Tustin, California.
"Those are vehicles that have lower profit margins and would be logical candidates for Mexican production. Potentially the Soul would be as well," said Kim, a former product planner for Hyundai. "The Rio is also the type of small, lower-priced car that could be exported to Latin American markets."

CC Talks With
CC Talks With: Severed Fifth
Written, performed, recorded and produced entirely by Jono Bacon, the album touches a range of political and social topics, driven by a brutal, thundering style with pounding double bass drumming, grinding guitars and guttural vocals. The album was recorded in Jono's home studio in central England and combines a range of styles. Pre-release listening sessions have resulted in comparisons to Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Pantera, Decapitated and Hatebreed.
Jono Bacon, the one man band behind Severed Fifth, released the inaugural album Denied by Reign today. This metal album is trying to bring the idea of Free Culture licensing to the world of metal music. We previously discussed here the announcement of the idea back in June of this year. It is a testament to Jono's enthusiasm for this project how quickly he was able to write, record, and master this first album while also doing his full time job as Community Manager for Ubuntu.1 Comment »
CC Talks With: Colin Mutchler
Colin Mutchler is one of the original CC success stories. Back in 2003, he posted his song, My Life, to Opsound under a CC BY-SA license. A month later a violinist name Nora Beth added a violin track, calling the new work My Life Changed. It was one of the first instances of CC facilitating unsolicited collaboration, laying the ground work for the amazing remix culture we have seen develop over the past 5 years. Mutchler has since expanded his resume, working on photography and media production as well as his music. We caught up with him recently to find more about what he has been up to since we last checked in – needless to say, it has been a while.
Colin at work… circa 2008 | activefree CC BY
Can you give us some background on yourself and your music? How did you get started as a musician? What are your major influences?
My first 7 years in Bellingham WA were filled with my parents' sounds from the Grateful Dead and George Winston. But it wasn't until I first started playing guitar in college that I began to write lyrics, initially inspired by people like Ben Harper, Ani Difranco, and Bob Dylan. Silvio Rodriguez was also an influence ever since I lived in Bolivia in 1998. Then when I saw Saul Williams in the movie Slam in 1999, it became clear that the most powerful voices of our generation would come through Hip Hop and spoken word. Other influential voices for me were Sarah Jones and Alix Olson. For a while I imagined myself becoming a kind of folk-hop version Mos Def and Talib Kweli (still do), but with a full time job in digital marketing and a vision for a crowdfunding media tool for social entrepreneurs, I'm still fighting that daily choice to actually be an artist and musician.

CC Talks With: Brad Sucks
Brad Sucks, a CC license using pop/rock musician, recently released his latest album Out Of It for free online and under a CC BY-SA license. Brad is one of the most remixed artists over at ccMixter, runs an active blog, interacts with fans directly, and was recently interview by the Featured Commoners behind The Indie Band Survival Guide. Needless to say we needed to catch up with Brad and ask some questions of our own – read on to learn about Brad's influences, why he uses CC licenses, and how he feels about his work being remixed and reused.
Can you give our reader's a bit of background on you and your music? How long have you been creating music? What are your influences?
I started taking classical guitar lessons when I was 10 years old. I hated practicing and was never very good and quit because it was boring. Then when I was 14 or so I got into MOD/S3M trackers (Scream Tracker and then later Impulse Tracker) and was really into industrial/electronic music. I got an electric guitar a few years later and started trying to fit it all together as digital recording matured.
My influences were mostly classic rock as a kid. Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, etc, the stuff my dad listened to. As a teenager I was into more aggressive stuff: Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, etc. Besides being a lot harder, it had a real DIY ethic to it. There usually wasn't much of a "band", just one or two guys working on recordings. That was a huge inspiration because it seemed normal to me to think of doing everything myself. After that I mellowed out and de-gothed a bit but I secretly wish I could take myself seriously enough to rock like Ministry.

CC Talks With: The Indie Band Survival Guide
Randy Chertkow and Jason Feehan are true polymaths – founders of the pop band Beatnik Turtle, authors of The Indie Band Survival Guide, and a computer engineer and attorney respectively, they continuously have their hands in a bevy of different projects. Their most recent project, the wide publication of The Indie Band Survival Guide – originally and still available as a CC-licensed PDF – is a tome of knowledge that any independent musician, well-known or budding, would do well to have. We caught up with Chertkow and Feehan recentlly to find out more about the Indie Band Survival Guide, their experience as CC-license advocates, and how they manage to juggle their various roles with seeming ease.
(IndieBandSurvivalGuide.com logo (c) IndieBandSurvivalGuide.com, LLC, All Rights Reserved)
Can you give our readers a bit of background on yourselves? You are both active musicians, have jobs outside of music making, and are now published authors. How did you get to where you are today?
Jason Feehan: We're both indie musicians who are in an active Chicago band called Beatnik Turtle. We've been writing, recording, and playing live for over 11 years. But beyond that, professionally, I'm an attorney and Randy has a Master's in Computer Science: Data communications.
Randy Chertkow: Our fields really influenced how we ran the band, and, later, what we wrote about in the book. There was an advantage that neither of us were in the same field. So I was able to help put the legal stuff into human-readable form, and Jason was able to tame my technical jargon and into friendly explanations. Regarding music, I've got a formal music education, starting in grade school. I am a reeds player (primarily sax, but I double on flute and clarinet, which is very common for sax players.) I had a lot of training in music and jazz theory, and improvisation. Jason didn't learn formally at all, yet is an incredibly prolific songwriter and natural talent. He's written over 1000 songs.

CC Talks With: Richard Stevens
Richard Stevens, known to many as simply rstevens, has been a major presence in webcomics for the better part of a decade, gaining notoriety through his popular webcomic Diesel Sweeties. In March of this year, he chose to release the entire archive for DS (nearly 2,000 comics) under a CC BY-NC license, opening up a collection of incredibly witty and sharply designed comics to the masses. We recentlly caught up with rstevens to learn more about his comics and work in general, why he chose to use CC, and what kind of effect it has had on Diesel Sweeties.
Can you give our readers some background on who you are and what you do? How long have you been working in the webcomic world? How did you end up there?
I'm a comic book nerd born a few months before Star Wars who studied and taught graphic design, but wound up getting to be a cartoonist. I'm a big Mac fan, even though they're popular again and I spend most of my time walking around writing or making coffee.
I've been doing Diesel Sweeties on the web since early 2000 and it's been my job since 2002. I did a parallel version for newspapers that ran from 2007-2008.

CC Talks With: Epic Fu
Epic Fu is a web-based show that focuses on "the coolest art, tech, and music from the online and offline world". Formerly known as JETSET, Epic Fu is the brainchild of Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf – they post new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday released under a CC BY-NC-SA license. We recently caught up with both to learn more about Epic FU as an entity, the importance of their user community, and why they chose to use CC.
Can you give our readers a bit of a background on Epic Fu? How did it begin? What kind of topics do you focus on?
EPIC FU began as Jet Set Show on June 1, 2006. When we first launched the show was targeted for much younger viewers, and it was more of a variety show with sketches, interviews, and mashups. One of our main goals was to have the audience interacting with us and contributing to the show as much as possible, and as time went on we realized that the people who were making media on the web were older. Over a couple of months we changed the content of the show to appeal to an older audience, and in the Fall of 2006 we tweaked our name to JETSET. At that time we started shooting Zadi at her desk, and we started making direct calls to action to the audience which resulted in several successful collaborations with viewers.
In the Fall of 2007 we changed the name of the show from JETSET to EPIC FU because we needed a name that we could fully own, in every sense of the word. That change really helped solidify our identity and the perspective we were trying to bring the the news and artists we talk about.
The topics we are most interested in involve individuals, artists, and groups who are using technology and the web to define a new idea of what it means to collaborate with each other and distribute their ideas globally. Especially if it's something that flies in the face of old ways of thinking. That's what the web is: the new underground culture. EPIC FU, after all, is about the EPIC "Eff You" (even though we pronounce it FOO).

CC Talks With: CASH Music
CASH Music, an acronym for 'Coalition of Artists and Stakeholders', has been an impressive member of the CC community since they debuted late last year. Part music label, part creative community, CASH Music has major plans to change the landscape of contemporary artistic output with a particular focus on the dialogue between content creators and consumers. They already have some amazing projects out under their moniker and with more on the way, we decided to catch up with CASH Music partner Jesse Von Doom to learn more about CASH's goals, their business model, and what they have in store for the future.
Can you give our readers some background on CASH Music? How did it begin? Who is involved? On a broad level, what are you trying to accomplish?
CASH is an acronym for Coalition of Artists and Stake Holders. The name was chosen to reflect the goals and the people involved. The idea was born in a simple conversation between Kristin Hersh and Donita Sparks about achieving sustainability in the currently volatile music world. Their managers, Billy O'Connell and Robert Fagan respectively, continued the conversation and became the first two partners in what would be CASH. At the time I was running a graphic and web design firm with my business partner, Jack McKenna. A few business connections and friends-in-common later, Jack and I started working for CASH and quickly became partners ourselves.
Since then we've won the support of seasoned advisors, organizations like Creative Commons, and some talented artists. But it still goes back to that first conversation between Kristin and Donita. We're trying to help find healthy sustainability for artists while giving listeners more of a stake in the music for a new and better experience.

I've been writing, performing and recording songs for a while, yet its only in the last five or so years that I have settled down enough to get some kind of career going with what I do. I play live, although mostly based in Europe and that is where I'm based – I'm originally from Australia.
What are your influences?
Any song that lets me escape, songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's of all types and also contemporary artists like Beck. I like songs that I can listen to again and again yet still stay fresh. Learning about copyright and Creative Commons has given me a new view on my influences though.
What licenses do you use and why?
I licensed the songs from the album "Shifting Sands Of A Blue Car" under a Creative Commons Attribution license. When I look at the amount of self published art that is used commercially compared to published content and then look at how much quality self published content is available online, less restrictions for my music makes more sense for me. Also, a lot of home creators that use a song might want to use the content in conjunction with a services like youtube or myspace, and who can say if these services are a commercial or non-commercial from the user of the contents point of view.

CC Talks With: Curt Smith
Curt Smith, solo-artist and co-founder of Tears for Fears, presented at the most recent CC Salon LA on why he chose to release his new album, "Halfway, pleased", under a CC license. He spoke so eloquently we wanted to commit his words to text – as such, we bring you the latest in our Featured Commoner series.

Can you give us a bit of background on your musical/artistic trajectory? Many of our readers may be familiar with Tears for Fears, the band you gained notoriety in, but may be less familiar with your equally impressive solo career. Please speak to both.
Roland and I have been in bands together since we were 13 years old. We signed our first record deal at 18 with a band called Graduate, which lasted all of a year until we decided we didn't like being in a band and left to form Tears For Fears. I left the band in 1990 as I wasn't enjoying it any more and moved to New York.
After a few years on the periphery of the industry, in radio and TV, I met Charlton Pettus through a mutual friend. He convinced me to start writing and performing again and a band called Mayfield was born. The idea was to get back to the basics and rediscover the pure enjoyment and musicianship that attracted me to this career in the first place. We primarily played in New York and released an album cunningly entitled "Mayfield".
In 1998 my wife's work brought us to Los Angeles, Charlton would follow about a year later. Around the time of the birth of my first daughter in 1999 I started writing the songs for what would later become "Halfway, pleased".

CC Talks With: LegalTorrents
LegalTorrents, "an online community created to discover and distribute Creative Commons licensed digital media", recently revamped their website to include a stronger community focus as well as a more fluid user experience. We caught up with Jonathan Dugan to find out more about what LegalTorrents can offer those in the CC-community and why CC-using content creators should look to LegalTorrents as a means for online distribution.
Can you give us some background on LegalTorrents? When and why did it start up? Who's involved?
Simon Carless started LegalTorrents in 2003 and focused on hand-selected, high quality content that was legal to share and distribute. In November 2007, I partnered with Simon to rebuild the site under a new company called Matson Systems.
Since then we've grown a small team to build and maintain the site. In addition to our initial goal of distributing high quality content, we also plan to build a community of people interested in finding and sharing this media, and supporting content creators though voluntary financial sponsorship.
The team and their biographies are at our website.

Chinese phone-maker Oppo has unveiled its newest flagship phone at an event in Beijing today. The new Oppo N1 is marked by a rotating 13-megapixel camera that can swivel between facing frontwards or backwards, thereby doing away with the usual meagre front-facing cameras.
Aside from that novelty, the Oppo N1 takes its place as the company's flagship phone with fairly hefty specs, such as: a quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 5.9-inch screen that's 1080p (377 PPI). The downside is that it's a very hefty 213 grams. Even the Nokia Lumia 1020, with its bulging 41-megapixel camera and Nokia's notoriously solid build, weighs only 158 grams. Basically, the N1 is too damn heavy.
Before the N1 launch, the company had been teasing the fact that it featured a rear touch panel to allow for some input whilst holding this (large and heavy) phone in one hand. Today's it's clear that the rear touch panel is called O-Touch, and covers a 12cm square panel on the back for doing things like scrolling, tapping, or taking photos.
CyanogenMod sweetens up Android
Oppo has partnered up with well-respected Android ROM maker CyanogenMod for its revamped Android skin/OS. Called Color OS (based on Android 4.2), it comes with, the company claims, over 400 unique features and improvements over stock Android. But this is only for Oppo's overseas operations, and so Chinese consumers will get Oppo's conventional Android skin instead.
International versions of the N1 come with Color OS installed as well as the ability to flash CyanogenMod directly from stock recovery. A limited OPPO N1 CyanogenMod Edition will ship with CyanogenMod preinstalled – that's the first CyanogenMod hardware product in the world. The US-based CyanogenMod got $7 million in funding last week for it to branch out, so it's likely we'll see other hardware from the Android tweakers in the future.
The Oppo N1 supports WCDMA 3G, and will cost RMB 3,498, which is about $570, in an unlocked state.
Oppo is up against a lot of strong competition from Chinese homegrown smartphones. While the pricey and bulky N1 won't outsell the much talked about Xiaomi phones in China, the new flagship shows Oppo is even more serious about its global expansion plans; the company is already pretty active in developing markets like Indonesia and Thailand. Oppo also seems keen to appeal to a growing number of Android purists who are sick of lame and ugly Android skins from the likes of HTC, LG, and Samsung.

Utah gymnastics: Slumping Utes seeking breakout in Pac-12 meet
Utah's gymnastics team likens its current situation to a batter's slump. The Utes feel like they've been swinging wildly lately but don't want to make things worse by focusing on the negativity. Instead, they'd like to bust out of their hole with a grand slam.
There is no better opportunity for them to do so than Saturday, when the Utes host the first Pac-12 Championships.
The seventh-ranked Utes are the second seed and will compete at 7 p.m. with fourth-ranked and top-seeded UCLA, No. 8 Oregon State and No. 11 Stanford in the 7 p.m. session.
Competing in the 2 p.m. session will be No. 17 Arizona, No. 22 Washington, Arizona State and California.
The seedings were based on the teams' regional qualifying scores.
While the winner of the meet can come from either session, chances are the victor likely will come from the later group, given the teams' rankings.
"It's definitely going to be tough," sophomore Mary Beth Lofgren said. "It's going to give us a good preview of what nationals could be like."
The Utes lost to UCLA in the season opener and beat Oregon State and Stanford in Salt Lake City.
Utah ended the regular season losing its last two meets, but remains optimistic it can win the school's first Pac-12 title.
"UCLA is the favorite, without question," Utah coach Greg Marsden said. "But I think on any given night any of those teams can win it. It came down to our last routine with Stanford, and Oregon State didn't have a great meet here but we know they are capable of doing much better."
In addition to competing at home, the Utes were given another advantage thanks to their second seed. According to a blind draw at the coaches' meeting held earlier in the year, it was determined the second seed would start on vault and end on floor, a rotation that often is preferred by most teams.
"Vault is a good event for us, and the nerves work in our favor because adrenalin is going to be pumping and you can use that on that event," Marsden said. "Bars and beam you have to get your emotions under control and relax and approach those events totally differently."
The Utes were disappointed in their mistake-riddled 197.9-196.475 loss at top-ranked Florida, but said Monday they feel they can finish the season in much better fashion.
"We aren't giving up," senior Stephanie McAllister said. "We have to go into the Pac-12s being more confident. We were timid at Florida, and we've already talked about the need to go in there and go all out this week and keep our chins up."
The Utes say they are going to avoid putting any pressure on themselves to win Saturday's meet by treating it like any other competition. The problem is, they are all well aware the competition isn't just a regular meet.
The Pac-12 asked the Utes to host the meet because the school is known for its large following. The Utes admitted there is some responsibility that comes with hosting.
"It's awesome we get to have it here with our fans," McAllister said. "Hopefully, we can go in and do our thing and we'll do fine."
Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships
Saturday, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
2 p.m. session: No. 17 Arizona, No. 22 Washington, Arizona State and California.
7 p.m. session: No. 4 UCLA, No. 7 Utah, No. 8 Oregon State and No. 11 Stanford
The lowdown: Even though the teams will compete separately, the winner can come out of either session.
Of note: The public can attend Friday's practices in the Huntsman Center. The afternoon group will practice from 1-2:40 p.m. and the evening group, including the Utes, will practice from 3 to 4:40 p.m. Top 25 Rankings

Ultimate Hogwich
The idea of making 'ultimate sandwiches' has been brewing in my head for a while now; hell, I started already by making the meatball sub, the best chicken sandwich of my life and the po' boy of dreams. Since then I've been, well, distracted, but when I was recently sent a sous vide machine to play around with, I knew it was time to get it involved. It had to be a meaty sandwich, it had to be extreme, and it had to be made in the Sous Vide Supreme.
I wanted to start with pork so I went down to the new butcher in Peckham, Flock and Herd, and bought a frankly massive piece of pork belly – 3kg. No idea why. The plan was to vac pack it, which is GREAT fun by the way; the first thing I vacced was two tomatoes and a cucumber – I'm sure you can imagine the arrangement. Very mature. Anyway, so I would smother the belly with fennel, chilli and garlic, roll it up like a porchetta, pack it and sous vide it for, ideally, 36 hours. Seems like a long time doesn't it? It is. I wasn't going to argue with Serious Eats however, which is where I found the appropriate cooking time and temperature; this is long enough for all the connective bits in this famously gnarly cut to break down into lovely gelatinous goo.
Complete with nipples…
My butcher's knots need a little work…
So the sous videing was sorted but what to do about crackling? Long slow water bathing isn't going to achieve that and we all know that crackling is the best bit; what good would the ultimate pork sandwich be without crispy pig fat? This is where the Serious Eats recipe really comes into its own, suggesting that the crackling is achieved by deep frying. Yes. Is deep frying a porchetta excessive? Yes. Is it very unhealthy? Yes. Does it achieve the perfect crunchy crackling we're looking for? Definitely. So on the inside we have 36 hour (well, 30 actually; I didn't fancy eating it at 4.30am) cooked ultra soft and succulent pork belly and on the outside the kind of satisfying crunch that can only ever be achieved by plunging meat into a wok full of hot oil and frying the shit out of it. Incredible.
Two versions of the sandwich were made. The first time I tried to be all posh about it, making a fresh mustard seeded slaw and a chilli flecked quince sauce to drizzle; the latter complements the hog in the same way as apple sauce but with a more interesting fragrance. Piled on to a soft white loaf it was good, but it just wasn't right. I'd deep fried the pork for goodness' sake; there was something just too damn clean about the rest of the sandwich.
Round 2. Amendment number 1 = different bread; I'd wanted to keep things British but in the end caved to the superior sturdy chew of ciabatta. Amendment 2 = pimp my shop bought coleslaw, yo. Yeah, that's right, a mayo laden coleslaw was mixed with shredded spring onions, wholegrain mustard and a little lemon juice until it was just, well, pretty tasty actually. The quince sauce had to stay but needed a filth injection which came in the form of hot sauce and plenty of it (No Joke to be precise – it has the fruity notes to fit with the quince), plus all the glorious golden jelly from the outside of the sous vided pork. Now we were talking. Almost. The pork was sliced and then…guilty eyes met eager ones…a suggestion was made…the next thing I know I'm deep frying individual slices of the pork belly. That's right, a second deep frying; more surface area to get good and crisp.
Ultimate Hogwich was born.
Ultimate Hogwich (I got like a million sandwiches out of this plus some of the best instant noodle pimpage I've ever achieved; recipe to follow)
This is by no means a quick job; 30 hours is definitely the longest I've ever waited for something to cook, but it was worth it. The sous vide machine is immense fun and the results are incredible; I can't stop thinking about what to try next. The recipe can of course be made by just cooking the pork belly without a sous vide machine. Radical.
1 boneless pork belly, about 3kg in weight
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 tablespoon hot chilli flakes
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
4 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
String to tie the pork belly
Heat the sous vide machine to 68.5C (Serious Eats suggested 68.3 but my machine wouldn't have that) and start prepping the pork. Lay it out flat, skin side down and score the flesh in a diamond pattern. In a dry pan, toast the fennel seeds and black peppercorns until fragrant, moving the pan about over a low heat so they don't burn.
Grind the fennel seeds and peppercorns in a pestle and mortar, then sprinkle all over the pork belly flesh. Sprinkle the chilli flakes over the pork too, add the bay leaves and grate over the garlic using a microplane grater. Use your hands to work everything into the pork.
Roll the pork and use string to tie it tightly into a roll. Mix 1 tablespoon salt with the bicarbonate of soda and rub this all over the surface of the porchetta. You may then need to cut it into two pieces in order to vac pack it – I did.
So…vac pack it and once the sous vide machine has reached temperature, lower the pork in. Cook it for erm, 30 hours or even 36 if you are more organised than me. Once that's done, remove the pork and plunge it into a sink full of iced water for 15 minutes, then remove from the bags, and save all the lovely gelatinous stuff round the edge. This is precious. Pat the pork dry, heat your oil for deep frying and really, really carefully, lower it into the oil. The pork should be halfway submerged, not totally. It will need about 5 minutes each side, during with time you should carefully spoon the oil over the exposed side. Just be bloody careful constantly, basically.
Then it just needs a final patting with kitchen paper before resting for 5 minutes and slicing.
For the quince sauce and coleslaw: melt a couple of tablespoons quince paste with some of the pork jelly and some hot sauce to taste. For the coleslaw, mix some shop bought coleslaw with lemon juice, spring onions and some wholegrain mustard. Pile the whole lot into a ciabatta and add a cheeky extra dash of hot sauce if you fancy it.

Yearbook causes controversy after it names George W. Bush in list of 'worst people' of all time
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - A middle school yearbook in Arkansas has created controversy around the country after it named Former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in a list of the "worst" people of all time.
The yearbook included a list titled the "Top 5 worst people of all time." The list begins with Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Manson, but then lists Bush and Cheney.
[ This issue was our Hot Topic Thursday morning, and you can weigh in on our Facebook page ]
Students didn't vote on the list, and it was taken from an opinion website. Parents in the community are outraged.
"I'm furious as a parent and as a board member and as a tax payer and as a resident of Russellville," resident Chris Cloud said. "It's wrong."
Parents spotted the list after the yearbooks were printed. The school's solution was to cover the list with tape.
The superintendent said the yearbook's editing process is under review.

Traded a puppy one day for two older models, all potty trained that already love us.
The boys: Chance and Little Elvis were following me around whilst I was photographing flowers that are still blooming.
We went for a ride, Chance happily gave up his spot in the backseat and sat in the hatchback to make room for his friends in the backseat. ( All on his own, he was not coaxed…he is a true gentleman.) We saw one grouse and a flock of wild turkeys…the turkeys got everyone all excited.
Miney doesn't like the camera.

There have tweets from almost everything now, unborn baby to God knows what else. Presently we come to hear that tweets have been coming in from planes too and those are done by the airlines. Lufthansa has taken the initiative and launched MySkyStatus that posts where your flight is on Twitter or on Facebook. The status is more like an information sent out on where the flight is at a particular moment every hour or so. Sounds quite an interesting idea and Twitter has once again been put to some good use. Though I just hope they don't allow passengers or worst still the crew to post tweets and make them addicts. Why? Well you all know what I mean by that.
Topics: Twitter
Is Twitter really having some bad time? I am not sure but I have been getting the overcapacity issue every now and then for the last hour or so. Though it kept jumping back after a couple minutes but the last one lasted for a good ten minutes and counting. Is is just me in Pakistan or are others facing the same issue as well?
If you are already tired of the countless applications that are there for creating backgrounds for Twitter here is another startup, TwitLay. The free application lets you upload images, etc and fully customize the background for your Twitter page. Well that is for those who are pretty creative and can go about having a very personalized background to go with their Twitter profile but for those who aren't so can use any background that has been already created and add it to their account. And there is no price attached to it. Pretty nice, I guess with Twitter users in hundreds of millions and always growing, people can definitely use all the choices available to make their page more impressive.
Twitter is minting some funds as the microblogging network raised a healthy $100 Million in a new round. The investment came from new investors, Insight Venture Partners and T.Rowe Price along with existing partners. We aren't sure on what valuation the funding was based on. However we had earlier got a tip that the valuation was close to 1 Billion and the current funding brings it total cash to $155 Million in the last couple of years.
While Twitter itself might not be monetizing what it exists for, there are services that continue to thrive using it one way or the other. We have covered quite a lot of Twitter background creators and Twitter Scenes is one of them. The service plans to make background creation for Twitter much easier. All that you need to do is send a logo, images, links and information about what your company does along with a payment of $129 and have your background ready and delivered within three days. Sounds quite professional, but who is going to pay $129 for something you can get for free? I guess not many, but there are folks out there who would just spend money on anything and a Twitter background is a big enough reason to spend some cash on.
There has quite a lot that Twitter has raised in funding, the total which goes sums to $55 Million at present. However that isn't going to stop here as the micromessaging service looks ahead to raising a massive $50 Million in a new round of funding at at a valuation of $1 Billion. This follows the $35 Million round that it raised in February this year, but the site has grown exponentially since then, with its visitors increasing by three fold. And the service is still free, which is quite admirable, although it is beginning to show a slight tilt towards monetizing its platform with its new TOS and might start charging to provide premium services.
Bit.ly has gained a lot of popularity, thanks to its problem free service and becoming the default link cruncher for Twitter. The URL shortening service has shortened its already shortened service even more. The new branding puts bit.ly as j.mp saving you an additional two characters. Well sounds justified given that every character counts on Twitter and it offers nothing extra apart from the name and use the same credentials that you have for Bit.ly. Here is a shortened version of Startup Meme's link.
Who wouldn't want to give some colors to their Twitter profiles? Many would if not all and this is one reason why another provider of Twitter backgrounds jumps out: Twitterbugg. I remember very recently covering another one by the name of Twitrounds which was pretty impressive but Twitterbugg appear way better as the backgrounds appear more professionally done. The best part is its creator has taken a break away from the traditional glittery images and immature backgrounds that really didn't go well, especially if you were looking for something more tasteful. As I said earlier, the backgrounds appear more professional and are pretty aesthetic, good work Twitterbugg.
Twitter Fans are going to love this one and by fans I mean those who would spend any given time to decorate their Twitter profiles. Twitrounds is a new startup that provides users with backgrounds for Twitter pages. It has more than 300 backgrounds to offer as of now with more making way into its data base with time. It's pretty easy to install those backgrounds, just click the thumbnails and you will see the option to directly post the background to your profile or simply download the background and install them manually. Pretty easy and they do have a few interesting backgrounds which I won't mind using for my Twitter profile and no I am not a Twitter fan boy.
