- "But you messed up and left a lot of bad debt. You left a good friend of mine out of pocket, big time"
- ―Dimitri betraying Niko to Ray Bulgarin.
Russian Revolution is the final mission given by Dimitri Rascalov in Grand Theft Auto IV, where he is supposed to give Niko Bellic payment for killing Mikhail Faustin. This mission is triggered not long after "The Master and the Molotov" is completed, when Niko calls Dimitri or vice versa to find out if Dimitri has Niko's payment.
This mission introduces the player to large scale shootouts and briefs on the cover system and blind fire.
After Niko and Dimitri agree to meet around the back of an abandoned warehouse in East Hook to collect the payment for Faustin's assassination, Little Jacob calls Niko to express his suspicion of Dimitri's motives and insists joining Niko as backup in an event the deal goes sour; so Niko meets up with him around the back of the warehouse. With Jacob concealed and keeping an eye on the deal, Niko enters the warehouse to meet Dimitri, only to learn, to his dismayed surprise, that Dimitri has been working with Ray Bulgarin, who Niko has worked with in Eastern Europe and fled from after a botched job that left Niko in debt.
Niko pleads with Bulgarin, though he is unsympathetic, claiming betrayal. As Niko is unable to repay what was owed to Bulgarin, Niko was ordered killed, but manages to fight back and is joined by Jacob, resulting in a firefight in the warehouse. Dimitri and Bulgarin escape, leaving Niko and Jacob to kill around a dozen of Bulgarin's men, as well as the police who have surrounded the building after Dimitri's and Bulgarin's departure from the area with Niko and Jacob helping each other.
Stealing a car and escaping the police, Niko drives Jacob to the Homebrew Café while voicing his anger at both Dimitri and Bulgarin, vowing to kill them while Jacob assures him that they will inevitably pay the price. After dropping Jacob off, Niko must contact Roman to tell him the bad news, thus leading to the next mission. After this mission, Niko cuts his ties with Dimitri.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Meet Little Jacob in East Hook.
- Wipe out Bulgarin's men.
- The cops are here. Get Jacob back to the Homebrew Cafe.
- Lose your wanted level.
- Take Little Jacob back to his cafe.
Video Walkthrough
- Russian mobsters (deceased) - Killed by Niko and Little Jacob upon betrayal.
- Cops (optional) - Can be attacked to escape wanted level (the level will increase to three stars if they are shot after Jacob says to get in a car).
Niko can call Roman to inform him on the situation. He will reply, telling his cousin to hurry to East Island City, where Roman is hiding (automatically starting Roman's Sorrow).
- Skill: blind fire (advanced)
- Skill: recoil
- This mission marks the first appearance of Ray Bulgarin in the GTA IV Era even chronologically.
- This mission is an important mission in the storyline as it is the mission in which the main antagonist -- Dimitri Rascalov -- betrays you.
- Like the first mission given by Dimitri Rascalov, the stats don't show a mission progress of his; it instead shows progression of Faustin's missions even though he was killed in the mission before this.
- Although Niko never kills him in his storyline, Bulgarin is later hunted down and killed by Luis Lopez.
- If Niko arrives at the warehouse before getting off the phone with Jacob, he can see Jacob spawn there.
- The mission's name references the Russian Revolution, which took place in Russia in 1917.
- After this mission, Little Jacob will always go back home on his own after a friendship date.

The Craven County Health Department now offers primary care to adults, whether they're under-insured, uninsured, or on medicaid. Nursing Director Teresa Ellen says if a patient is uninsured and working they can pay on a sliding fee scale based on their income. That scale can slide as low as 20-percent of the total charge.
"We feel as public health part of our mission is to provide a safety net for those who are unable to find services elsewhere. As I mentioned before, those folks who have no insurance or who make just enough money they aren't eligible for the free clinic, and those who have medicaid or those who have insurance; but it doesn't cover much and they have really high deductibles. We're hoping to be the safety net for those people," said Ellen.
Patients don't have to live in Craven County to use the adult primary care office. Right now it's open Monday- Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m by appointment only.

Rockford's unemployment rate dropped five tenths of a percent from September to October.
Even more good news is that Congressman Don Manzullo is securing new jobs for Rockford's future.
Manzullo secures another $1.5 million to be used for manufacturing research and development. Add that to the $3.75 million he secured earlier this year. That's over $5 million for the Rockford region.
Manzullo says he foresees many possibilities for the future of northern Illinois and its people.

|セキエイ Sekiei
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #192
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Sekiei (セキエイ, Sekiei) was one of the Kumo spectators who attended the Chūnin Exams' final round.
Sekiei had proposed to his partner that he should kill Hinata Hyūga in order to take her Byakugan back to Kumogakure, meaning that he had no moral qualms about killing the young genin.
Sekiei had short brown hair that framed his face and dark eyes. He wore a grey suit underneath the old-style flak jacket of his village and wore his forehead protector like a bandanna. He also wore a sash around his waist and a pair of brown gloves.
Most of Sekiei's battle tactics revolved around his use of the earth nature and he used this in several ways to combat his foes, from laying skilful traps that reshaped itself, to direct combat with large enduring earth techniques and more subtle clones for diversions. Sekiei was also very analytical, noticing that Neji Hyūga was mainly a taijutsu type fighter, and used a series of techniques to bind him, thus disabling his techniques.
Part II
Konoha History Arc
When the Suna and Oto ninja attacked, Sekiei and his partner took advantage of the ensuing mayhem to kidnap an unconscious Hinata Hyūga. Their purpose was to learn the secrets behind the Byakugan. They were later pursued by Neji Hyūga, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru and Tenten at the behest of the Hyūga Elder, who was unsuccessful in stopping the pair earlier. Despite managing to delay the pursuing genin with a trap, Neji, Kiba and Akamaru eventually caught up with the two while Tenten remained behind. When Neji began fighting him, he was quickly overpowered. His escape however, was halted long enough for Hiashi Hyūga to arrive and intervene, easily defeating Sekiei and rescuing Hinata.
- Even though they tried to steal one of Konohagakure's most valuable kekkei genkai, they were not ordered to do so by Kumogakure but seemingly acted on their own initiatives.
- 'Sekiei' (石英) means 'quartz'.

Kolya is an affecting, feel-good drama set in pre-Velvet Revolution Prague. The winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1996, this Czech film introduces us to a talented but emotionally disconnected musician who has no interest in monogamy or family, whose primary vehicle for employment is playing dirges at funerals, and who has a scam-artist friend that suggests that he marry a Soviet woman for money. What our protagonist doesn't know is that after he becomes involved in the fake marriage scheme is that he will be saddled with the responsibility of raising his Russian wife's child without her. From committed bachelor to doting "dad", Kolya is the kind of film that tugs at the heart strings but never crosses over into shameless Hollywood sentimentality.

I could say with a certain amount of reason that given 90 usd per set and a mission to get all the cards insets 1-10 ( 11 being free) you could have gotten all the cards in that last lotto. That would have set you back approx. 900 usd and a ton of hours of recycling though.
Even at 100 % recycle rate you are not pinpointing anything. I spent 90 usd on the lotto and got many cards i didn't have before sets of dear cattelya, scarlet-rose, and many others. I didn't get 1 alphonce which i would have had i "pinpointed".
In the end you are paying 5c for a 1 star, 10c for 2, 30c for a 3, 1.50 for a 4 and 3 usd for a 5 star. I mean if you are free or alow spender those costs on the 3 stars and below seem quite reasonable to me.
Whenset 12 comes out its current expected cost will be along the lines of 219usd for the complete set given past recycle rate and gold box prices and rates of return.
is that reasonable? Think about it. Change was promised- change isneeded.

VI. What I will be adding
I. Introduction
Hello iczers. My name is worthing and I have been playing eternal night a lot lately and thought I would share my file and play style with them. Eternal night is a file with units that have the close skills to not die during night and fully heal themselves for the cost of 1sp if they die. This strong close skill on many of your units can win you games by keeping a field of small but hard hitting units with unique and strong abilities. I have currently won 21 games in a row with the file and have finally made a final draft of my file I am satisfied with. Many people find it to be a frustrating file to face and their are not many answers to it other than cyclone. Picture related below
II. File list
III. How to use
Generally you will want to open up with dagon and eskatia to grim bane and try to keep in night time early game. If I see I am against falkow I will open up with taurus on turn 2 and then augmented sorcerer. If you do open up with dagon and eskatia you have many options from here. I play eskatia in row 1 generally since a lot of files have ss and open skills and action skills that can killer her so I like to put her 20 attack to good use. If you think you are safe to stall behind lycans and don't need her 20 attack you can play her in the back.
You can play fenrir to clear small units every turn and play succubus to ensure you get to do it. You can play nue to hate on multi sphere files and to do max hp damage (true damage is what I like to call it).
Taurus can be played turn 3 also to make your front line tanky and if you feel that eskatia won't be living a lot early game from action skills and soul skills that your opponent may have.
Augmented sorcerer should be saved when you want to lower units attacks so you can stall for a turn if you think eskatia will die or use succubus for the same reason but at the same time you feel it is necessary to kill your opponents units. Be aware that playing succubus when your opponents soul skills go off can be bad if they have something similar to the sergis ss and can kill your lycanthropes and make you lose sp at the same time.
Cemetery rats should only be played if you need the damage and are sure your units will be able to kill your opponents if you do use cemetery rats.
Riza should be one of the last units you play usually. He is a fall back plan if eskatia dies and you have the time to play him.

EN vs Pixy variant. It is not a very good example but it I decided to just save the first game I got and record it in here. I also recommend some great background music while watching the replays such as..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nba3Tr_GLZU
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... bc5d79658e
EN vs orks
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... 095813970e
EN vs pixies- A great example of when to open up differently then dagon-> eskatia. I know pixy assassin and the likelyhood of damage soul skills will make her useless early and opt to go around her and play riza when I burn most of his soul skills and pixy assassin can't kill him because he has 40hp.
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... 1c196cd2b9
VI. What I will be adding in the future
First off I will be adding replays and I will continue to record all the matches I play with this file. If I feel that their is a better version to the file and I start playing it I will add it to the guide. I will be adding a section with all the units main functions and links to the cards so people can read what they do if they are unaware. I will also be adding more strategy to the file the more I play it.
Thank you for reading my guide and come back to see if I have updated it if you are interested in the file. Feel free to comment or ask any questions about the file or suggest more content for the guide.

Nuns on the HighwayA cop pulls over a car full of nuns. The cop says, "Sister, the speed limit on this highway is 55 mph. Why are you going so slow?"
Sister replies, "I saw a lot of signs that said 41, not 55."
The copy says, "Sister, that's the name of the highway, not the speed limit."
"Silly me," the embarrassed nun says. "Thanks for letting me know. I'll be more careful."

Curious foodstuffs have graced the formica tables of Atlanta's Gato Bizco diner this year. They're the kind of dishes you might not expect to see in a kitschy short-order neighborhood diner where the menu specialties include biscuits, sweet potato pancakes and huevos rancheros.
Equally unexpected was the rotating cast of internationally-renowned chefs who turned Gato Bizco into the best restaurant in Atlanta, two nights at a time, as they hosted the pop-up BATON Supper Series.
The hometown team - Emily Hall, Lena Klein, Nicholas Stinson, Allen Suh and Adam Waller - had assisted in previous meals so they knew what they were in for. They had a formidable selection from which to derive ideas, with meals by Tien Ho of Momofuku fame, former Le Bernardin pastry chef Michael Laiskonis, Ivan Orkin of Tokyo's Ivan Ramen, Ana Ros of Slovenian restaurant Hisa Franko, Milk Bar's Christina Tosi and a collaboration between New York chefs Carlo Mirarchi of Roberta's and Brooks Headley of Del Posto.
The series kicked off last October with "Black Pepper Appreciation" from the team behind M. Wells, the short-lived Quebecois-American diner in New York. Hugue Dufour and Sarah Obraitis served up ramekins of beef tongue pie topped with puff pastry, foie gras bread pudding, beef heart tartare and fried liver and onions with sunchokes in vermouth, and more.
A few months later, Danny Bowien stopped in and created a Sichuan-inspired "Mission Chinese Atlanta" menu: tea-smoked eel with pulled pork trotter and Chinese celery and savory egg custard as a prelude to Sichuan-style catfish topped with peanuts boiled in pickling brine, red-hot chicken wings, pork belly cooked three ways and griddle cakes made of rice and topped with tofu skins and mustard greens - just to name a few.
"I like Atlanta a lot. It's slower-paced then New York and it's nice to be able to get back to a food culture that's still growing and there's still that excitement over what's to come," Bowien said in August in his second visit to Atlanta for a BATON supper. The first time, he was the headlining act. This time, he was supporting Christina Tosi and staff from Milk Bar, which created a brunch-inspired supper that began with cinnamon bun pie and layered pancake cake and ended with their famous crack pie and compost cookies.
All told, the cozy 20-seat diner has played host to an impressive talent roster, giving diners and chefs a chance to step outside their culinary comfort zone in the latest spin on the underground supper club. Guests experience a taste of a chef outside their geographic boundaries while chefs get to experiment in another kitchen. For some of them, it was a rare chance to get back on the line for a day and take a break from running a kitchen or prepping behind the scenes.
It's a twist that's working in several supper-club style venues across the country. Chef Sarah Simmons runs City Grit in a former SoHo elementary school-turned antique shop that guests walk through to reach the dining room's communal tables. Simmons collaborates with guest chefs (BATON veteran Tien Ho has been one of them) and cooks up her own meals on a semi-weekly basis, deriving inspiration from a variety of sources. For example, authors Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs of the upcoming Food 52 cookbook and award-winning Food52.com will be on-site when Simmons prepares a five-course meal featuring her favorite picks from their new book.
Chefs in this kind of "culinary salon" (as Simmons calls it) adapt their style to the setting, and diners are willing to wait however long it takes.
Indeed, on some nights guests at BATON could end up waiting an hour past their scheduled reservation for others to clear out, especially on the last night as devotees hung around to talk to the chefs and soak up the last bit of atmosphere. The series quickly earned a devoted following among food lovers who made a point of trying to attend every meal. Among them, it was quicker to say which meals they'd missed rather the ones they'd attended.
And, because of the limited seating, parties were often seated side-by-side, placing lawyers and soccer moms in the same booths as hipsters and off-duty waiters while food bloggers bellied up the counter to snap pictures of the chefs in action.
"We come because we love the food and we love to be surprised," said Atlantan Karen Luscher as she picked at the last bits of her aubergine duck fat tartine on Tuesday - a riff on another eggplant dessert from the collaboration between Headly and Mirachi.
"It's unpredictable and spontaneous in a way that's not typical for Atlanta," she said. "They don't get into the foodie labels, they create small plates that are unlike anything you've ever tried and they're amazing."
Luscher lives in Candler Park, just a few blocks from Gato Bizco, and has attended all but the first meal with her friend and neighbor, Wendi Aspes.
"I look forward to it every month, to being surprised," Aspes said. "You never know what they'll come up with or what to expect."
Like the time Bowien surprised guests with a second appearance in August to contribute a dish of grits and uni, steak and eggs, sides of mac and cheese and griddle cakes to accompany the Milk Bar gang's bakery-inspired meal. That same night, the pitfalls of the limited-run model also became apparent, when several no-shows left the restaurant half empty for stretches of the evening.
Even so, visiting chefs also relished the opportunity to step outside their culinary comfort zones in what many regarded as a working vacation. For many of them, the setting and the format were complete departures from their daily routines.
"It's a nice way to get out of town and cook something different," said Momofuku Milk Bar's Christina Tosi, who took a break from the Brooklyn bakery where she and her team whip up confetti cookies and candy bar pies to try their hand at dinner for a change. Or, at least, a bakery's take on dinner, which included baked good and Reuben-filled croissants before a main course of honey-baked ham, black pepper butter mashed potatoes and Bowien's steak and eggs.
In a nod to one of her favorite dishes growing up Virginia, Tosi served lima beans soaked in homemade ranch dressing to complement the honey-baked ham.
"We wanted to do something that felt right in this space," Tosi said in August as she sat in one of the booths shelling beans with her colleague. To deal with space constraints, they prepared some of the ingredients in New York and shipped them down for final assembly with other ingredients prepared the day of the meal.
"It's a dream come true for anyone who works in a kitchen to experiment with friends in a new place," she said.
Much of BATON's success lies in the dedication of Archuleta, drummer for the indie band Deerhunter, and Tedford and the relationships they forged while living in New York's East Village.
The couple started the series in September 2011 after returning to Atlanta, often playing host to the visiting chefs and showing them around Atlanta's dining scene when they weren't crashing on preparations for the two-night affair. The couple returned to New York a few months ago, which made organizing dinners in Atlanta challenging - part of the reason for stopping the series in its current form.
"We've been doing it for a year now and we know what works and doesn't work," Tedford said. "It's probably a good time to take a break and rethink things."

Successful solar cooking is dependent upon access to sunshine and the right climate. Though solar cooking is possible in many — if not most — countries, it is most practical for people living in climates that are generally dry and sunny for at least six months of the year. Latitudes between the equator and 40º are usually best, though solar cooking at high latitudes is possible, even in the winter. Ongoing development of more efficient models continues to push practicality into higher latitudes. Sharon Cousins reports from 47 degrees north, in northern Idaho, USA, that solar cooking is possible much more of the time than not for six months of the year, even under skies that are less than perfect, and some things can be cooked during winter, on rare sunny days. The savings on cooking power and air conditioning are significant.
The darker regions on the following map tend to have longer cooking seasons.
Solar Cookers International has compiled a list of twenty countries with the highest potential for solar cooking. Criteria for this ranking include annual average sunlight, cooking fuel scarcity and population size. Of the estimated 500 million people who have abundant sunshine and suffer from fuel scarcity, 85% of them live in just 10 countries.
Countries with highest potential
- India
- China
- Pakistan
- Ethiopia
- Nigeria
- Uganda
- Sudan
- Afghanistan
- Tanzania
- South Africa
- Niger
- Somalia
- Brazil
- Kenya
- Nepal
- Mozambique

Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles announced Tuesday that its last patient from the Nov. 1 attack has been upgraded from critical to fair.
Authorities sent 23-year-old Paul Ciancia there after police shot him four times during the confrontation at Terminal 3.
The announcement came on the same day that hundreds of people turned out for a public memorial service honoring Gerardo Hernandez, the first TSA officer killed in the line of duty.
Ciancia is charged with killing Hernandez and wounding three others, including two other TSA officers. Authorities say he targeted Transportation Security Administration employees.
The charges carry a potential death sentence.

Hormone therapy for breast cancer
Hormone therapy is another form of systemic therapy. It is most often used as an adjuvant therapy to help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back after surgery, but it can be used as neoadjuvant treatment, as well. It is also used to treat cancer that has come back after treatment or has spread.
A woman's ovaries are the main source of the hormone estrogen until menopause. After menopause, smaller amounts are still made in the body's fat tissue, where a hormone made by the adrenal gland is converted into estrogen.
Estrogen promotes the growth of cancers that are hormone receptor-positive. About 2 out of 3 of breast cancers are hormone receptor-positive — they contain receptors for the hormones estrogen (ER-positive cancers) and/or progesterone (PR-positive cancers). Most types of hormone therapy for breast cancer either lower estrogen levels or stop estrogen from acting on breast cancer cells. This kind of treatment is helpful for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, but it does not help patients whose tumors are hormone receptor negative (both ER- and PR-negative).
If you'd like more information on a drug used in your treatment or a specific drug mentioned in this section, call us with the names of the medicines you're taking.
Drugs that block estrogen
Tamoxifen: Tamoxifen blocks estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells. This stops estrogen from binding to them and telling the cells to grow and divide. While tamoxifen acts like an anti-estrogen in breast cells, it acts like an estrogen in other tissues, like the uterus and the bones. Because it acts like estrogen in some tissues but like an anti-estrogen in others, it is called a selective estrogen receptor modulator or SERM.
For women with hormone receptor-positive invasive breast cancer, tamoxifen can be given for 5 to 10 years after surgery to lower the chances of the cancer coming back and helping patients live longer. It also lowers the risk of a new breast cancer in the other breast. For early stage breast cancer, this drug is mainly used for women who have not yet gone through menopause. Aromatase inhibitors (discussed below) are the preferred treatment for women who have gone through menopause.
For women who have been treated for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) that is hormone receptor-positive, taking tamoxifen for 5 years lowers the chance of the DCIS coming back. It also lowers the chance of getting an invasive breast cancer.
Tamoxifen can also stop the growth and even shrink tumors in women with metastatic breast cancer. It can also be used to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women at high risk.
This drug is taken by mouth, most often as a pill.
The most common side effects of these drugs include fatigue, hot flashes, vaginal dryness or discharge, and mood swings.
Some women with bone metastases may have a "tumor flare" with pain and swelling in the muscles and bones. This usually subsides quickly, but in some rare cases a woman may also develop a high calcium level in the blood that cannot be controlled. If this occurs, the treatment may need to be stopped for a time.
Rare, but more serious side effects are also possible. These drugs can increase the risk of developing cancers of the uterus (endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma) in women who have gone through menopause. Tell your doctor right away about any unusual vaginal bleeding (a common symptom of both of these cancers). Most uterine bleeding is not from cancer, but this symptom always needs prompt attention.
Blood clots are another possible serious side effect. They usually form in the legs (called deep venous thrombosis or DVT), but sometimes a piece of clot may break off and end up blocking an artery in the lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE). Call your doctor or nurse right away if you develop pain, redness, or swelling in your lower leg (calf), shortness of breath, or chest pain because these can be symptoms of a DVT or PE.
Rarely, tamoxifen has been associated with strokes in post-menopausal women so tell your doctor if you have severe headaches, confusion, or trouble speaking or moving.
These drugs might also increase the risk of a heart attack.
Depending on a woman's menopausal status, tamoxifen can have different effects on the bones. In pre-menopausal women, tamoxifen can cause some bone thinning, but in post-menopausal women it is often good for bone strength.
The benefits of taking these drugs outweigh the risks for almost all women with hormone receptor-positive invasive breast cancer.
Toremifene (Fareston®): Toremifene is a drug similar to tamoxifen. It is also a SERM and has similar side effects. It is only approved to treat metastatic breast cancer. This drug is not likely to work if tamoxifen has been used and stopped working.
Fulvestrant (Faslodex®): Fulvestrant is a drug that first blocks the estrogen receptor and then also eliminates it temporarily. It is not a SERM – it acts like an anti-estrogen throughout the body.
Fulvestrant is used to treat advanced (metastatic breast cancer), most often after other hormone drugs (like tamoxifen and often an aromatase inhibitor) have stopped working.
It is given by injections into the buttocks. For the first month, the shots are given 2 weeks apart. After that, it is given once a month. Common short-term side effects can include hot flashes, night sweats, mild nausea, and fatigue. Because it blocks estrogen, in theory it could weaken bones (osteoporosis) if it is taken for a long time.
It is currently only approved by the FDA for use in post-menopausal women with advanced breast cancer that no longer responds to tamoxifen or toremifene. It is sometimes used "off-label" in pre-menopausal women, often combined with a luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist to turn off the ovaries (see below).
Treatments to lower estrogen levels
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs): Three drugs that stop estrogen production in post-menopausal women have been approved to treat both early and advanced breast cancer: letrozole (Femara), anastrozole (Arimidex), and exemestane (Aromasin). They work by blocking an enzyme (aromatase) in fat tissue that is responsible for making small amounts of estrogen in post-menopausal women. They cannot stop the ovaries from making estrogen, so they are only effective in women whose ovaries aren't working, either due to menopause or due to treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs (these are discussed later on). AIs are taken daily as pills. So far, drugs in this group seem to work equally well in treating breast cancer.
Several studies have compared these drugs to tamoxifen as adjuvant (after surgery) hormone therapy in post-menopausal women. Using these drugs, either alone or after tamoxifen, has been shown to better reduce the risk of the cancer coming back later than using just tamoxifen for 5 years. Schedules that are known to be helpful include:
- Tamoxifen for 2 to 3 years, followed by an aromatase inhibitor (AI) to complete 5 years of treatment
- Tamoxifen for 5 years, followed by an AI for 5 years
- An AI for 5 years
Most doctors now recommend post-menopausal women whose cancers are hormone receptor–positive use an AI at some point during adjuvant therapy. Right now, standard treatment is to use these drugs for about 5 years (or alternate with tamoxifen for a total of at least 5 years). Studies now being done to see if giving an AI for more than 5 years would be more helpful.
For women with early-stage breast cancer who have not gone through menopause when they are first diagnosed, tamoxifen is often used first, and then an AI may be given later if they go through menopause during treatment. Another option is taking a drug that turns off the ovaries (a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog) along with an AI.
The AIs tend to have fewer serious side effects than tamoxifen—they don't cause uterine cancers and very rarely cause blood clots. They can, however, cause muscle pain and joint stiffness and/or pain. The joint pain may be similar to a new feeling of having arthritis in many different joints at one time. This side effect may improve by switching to a different AI, but it has led some women to stop drug treatment. If this happens, most doctors recommend using tamoxifen to complete 5 years of hormone treatment.
Because aromatase inhibitors remove all estrogens from women after menopause, they also cause bone thinning, sometimes leading to osteoporosis and even fractures. Many women treated with an aromatase inhibitor are also treated with medicine to strengthen their bones, such as bisphosphonates or denosumab (these drugs are discussed in "Bone-directed therapy for breast cancer").
Ovarian ablation: In pre-menopausal women, removing or shutting down the ovaries (ovarian oblation), the main source of estrogens, effectively makes the woman post-menopausal. This may allow some other hormone therapies to work better and is most often used to treat metastatic breast cancer, but has also been studied in patients with early-stage disease.
Permanent ovarian ablation can be done by surgically removing the ovaries. This operation is called an oophorectomy. More often, ovarian ablation is done with drugs called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs, such as goserelin (Zoladex®) or leuprolide (Lupron®). These drugs stop the signal that the body sends to ovaries to make estrogens. They can be used alone or with other hormone drugs (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant) as hormone therapy in pre-menopausal women.
Chemotherapy drugs may also damage the ovaries of pre-menopausal women so they no longer produce estrogen. In some women, ovarian function returns months or years later, but in others, the damage to the ovaries is permanent and leads to menopause. This can sometimes be a helpful (if unintended) consequence of chemotherapy with regard to breast cancer treatment, although it leaves the woman infertile.
All of these methods can cause a woman to have symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.
Less commonly used types of hormone therapy
These options were used more often in the past, but are rarely given now. Megestrol acetate (Megace®) is a progesterone-like drug used that can be used as a hormone treatment of advanced breast cancer, usually for women whose cancers do not respond to the other hormone treatments. Its major side effect is weight gain, and it is sometimes used in higher doses to reverse weight loss for people with advanced cancer.
Androgens (male hormones) may rarely be considered after other hormone treatments for advanced breast cancer have been tried. They are sometimes effective, but they can cause masculine characteristics to develop such as an increase in body hair and a deeper voice.
Another option that may rarely be tried when the cancer is no longer responding to other hormone drugs is giving high doses of estrogen. The main risk is of serious blood clots (like DVTs and PEs). This treatment can also cause nausea.

Derrek Lee Contract
Derrek Lee's contract runs dry at the end of this season, which is a positive omen for the first baseman and Cubs fans.
Credit human nature, but we're all more focused when money is on the line, especially pro ballplayers who are positioned to earn millions.
Question is, should the Cubs resign Lee who turns 34 in September?
Eliminate his 2006 season, when he suffered a broken wrist and missed 59 games, and the guy's averaged 153 games played per season with the Cubs.
And in six total season spent with Chicago he's smashed 163 HR, driven in 518 RBI and become the quite leader of the Cubs' clubhouse. Not to mention his two Gold Glove Awards won in 2005 & 2007.
Lee is certainly over-shadowed by the likes of Zambrano, Soriano and Ramirez. But lose D-Lee and you're losing a lot.
My guess is the Cubs will resign Lee. Given Jim Hendry's history it'll be a three-year deal, too.
Maybe you think otherwise? Respond!

Many people use dedicated map making software, like the mentioned Campaign Cartographer and Fractal Mapper. The truth is that most here create their maps using GIMP or Photoshop which are full featured graphic arts software rather than making just maps. I use Xara Xtreme (Xara Designer Pro is the most current) which is a vector drawing program like Illustrator, Inkscape or Coreldraw.
Really depending on what you want your map to look like - most graphics software have some kind of learning curve. There really is no such thing as software that will let you create a map in one day, unless, like me you're skilled at using the software and can create a world map quickly. There are some stamp applications that are fairly easy to use, but unless you have the right map objects, either it won't look too professional or make only the simplist of designs.
You need to explore the Finished Maps Gallery and look for the kind of map you want. From there you can learn what software was used to design...
There really is no 'push a button' and now you have a nice map - it all takes work, and in some cases training (even if self-training) to do something serious. Map making is art. Art is not a push button proposition, it takes work to do anything.

surgical procedure, called Orthokine, early last month in Germany.
Though it is not yet approved in the United States, Kobe Bryant, Grant Hill
and Alex Rodriguez have all tried it previously. It seeks to produce a high
concentration of platelet cells which are believed to speed up the healing
With the Los Angeles Lakers last season, Bynum appeared in 60 games and

This is the amount of money that the holder of the policy is required to pay before they can claim any benefits from their policy. It is possible to choose a higher deductible amount in order to lower the annual cost of the premium.
Incontestable Clause
This is a policy provision in which the insurance company agrees to not contest the contract's validity prior to it being enforced for a certain length of time. This time period is usually around two years.
Pro-rata Cancellation
If the policy is cancelled by the insurance company mid-term then then the policy holder will only pay the premium for the time period that they were provided coverage, any excess payment is refunded to the policy holder.
Short-rate Cancellation
If the policy holder chooses to terminate the contract before the expiration date then then generally speaking the return premium they would receive would be 90% of the pro-rata return premium.
Return Premium
This is the sum of money that the insurance company is obligated to repay to the policy holder in the event of a pro-rata cancellation or a short-rate cancellation.
This is the process that will determine the quote you receive. An insurance underwriter will evaluate applicants who have applied for coverage, by classifying them according to their degrees of insurability, taking into account all of their personal details. This process will determine the amount of premium that is likely to be charged.
Policy Limit
The policy limit is the maximum sum of money that the provider will pay to the policy holder either overall or in respect of a particular coverage option.

Bajoran history
this wiki
Bajoran history is one of the most far reaching in the galaxy, stretching back hundreds of thousands of years. The Prophets influenced much of Bajor's history after their Orbs were found by the Bajorans, who began to worship them as gods.
The most well known period of Bajoran history is the Cardassian Occupation which lasted from the early years of the 24th century to 2369.
Early history
Bajoran civilization first began to flourish more than half a million years ago. The ancient Bajorans were renowned for their accomplishments in science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts long before Humans learned to speak or make tools. Around 20,000 years ago magnificent cities such as B'hala were built on Bajor and the Gratitude Festival was introduced, a tradition which would be continued to the present day. Approximately 10,000 years later, the first of the Tears of the Prophets were discovered above Bajor. These orb-like artifacts ushered in a new era of spiritual connection with the Bajoran gods, the Prophets. Around the same time, Bajoran archeaologists began their search for the famed, and by then lost, city of B'hala. However, the city should not be rediscovered until the 24th century. (TNG: "Ensign Ro"; DS9: "Emissary", "Fascination", "Rapture")
By the 16th century, the Bajoran First Republic was established and Bajorans had developed sublight space travel employing solar-sail spacecraft. By using tachyon eddies, some Bajoran explorers even reached the Cardassian system several light years away as it is evidenced by ancient crash sites uncovered on Cardassia by the 24th century. Unknowingly, Bajoran space travelers also made the first observations of the Celestial Temple, a stable wormhole and the home of the Prophets, in their home star system. In the Bajoran year 9174 (around 2172), Akorem Laan, regarded as one of the planet's greatest poets at the time, departed Bajor in a lightship. His vessel was damaged in an ion storm, and drifted into the Denorios Belt, where he opened and entered the yet unknown wormhole and would stay with the Prophets until 2372. Also during the 22nd century, Kai Taluno unknowingly reported a sighting of the wormhole, when his ship was "almost swallowed by the heavens" near the Denorios Belt. (DS9: "Emissary", "Explorers", "Accession")
Despite its high state of development, the Bajoran civilization continued to separate itself into nation-like factions as it is evidenced by the Paqu-Navot Treaty of 2279, which defined the border between two of them. Until the Occupation by Cardassia, Bajoran society also followed a strict system of castes known as D'jarras. It created a cearly stratified social hierarchy by pre-determining each Bajoran's occupation based on his or her family. (DS9: "The Storyteller", "Accession")
The Occupation
- Main Article: Occupation of Bajor
In 2319, Bajor's neighbour, the imperialistic Cardassian Union, established a military presence on the planet as it considered the Bajoran homeworld to be underdeveloped but rich in natural resources. In 2328, this Occupation of Bajor (or simply called the Occupation) also led to the formal annexation of Bajor by the Cardassians, who claimed to "help and develop" their neighbour. During the Occupation, the Cardassians perpetrated a coordinated scheme of strip-mining, forced labor, and genocide across the planet and installed the Bajoran Occupational Government, essentially a puppet of the Cardassian Central Command intended to make the occupation look legitimate. In order to keep the Bajorans in line, Central Command also installed a prefect to oversee the planet. The last person to hold this post was the now-infamous Gul Dukat. He euphemistically considered the Bajorans his "children", but in fact oversaw the occupation with an iron fist from his residence on Terok Nor, an orbital ore processing station built by Bajoran slave labor between 2346 and 2351. (DS9: "Emissary", "Babel", "Things Past", "Waltz", "Duet", and more)
The Occupation gave rise to the fierce Bajoran Resistance, which used guerrilla and terror tactics to eventually force the Cardassians to withdraw. Many Bajorans also fled the occupation and settled on planets all over the known galaxy, but almost everywhere they remained separated from other peoples, living under the poorest circumstances in refugee camps like those on Valo II. (TNG: "Ensign Ro", DS9: "Emissary" et al.)
Independent Bajor
In 2369, after 50 years of occupation and over 10 million Bajoran casualties, the Cardassians finally withdrew, no longer willing to stand against the relentless terrorism of the Bajoran Resistance. Although many Bajoran cities and vast areas of the planet were in shambles or poisoned, respectively, a Bajoran Provisional Government was quickly established after the withdrawal of the Cardassian forces. Despite its lack of confidence among the people of Bajor, this government acted very resolutely by issuing the Ilvian Proclamation, according to which all members of the former Occupational Government were considered collaborators and thereby sentenced to exile. (DS9: "Shakaar", "Duet", "The Collaborator") The Provisional Government also requested the assistance of the United Federation of Planets as a protector power and to assist in the rebuilding of Bajor. Both powers established joint control of Terok Nor, a former Cardassian space station orbiting Bajor, which they renamed Deep Space 9. Kai Opaka, Bajor's religious leader, also revealed the station's new Human Commander, Benjamin Sisko, to be the long-awaited Emissary of the Prophets. Ushering in a new era of trade but also strategic importance and danger for the Bajor system, Sisko fullfilled one of the prophecies as Emissary shortly after by (re-)discovering the "Celestial Temple", a nearby wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant, to whose mouth Deep Space 9 was subsequently moved. (DS9: "Emissary", TNG: "Birthright, Part I" et al.)
However, the alliance with the Federation remained uneasy at first, as many Bajorans, including former resistance groups such as the Kohn-Ma, thought that the interests of the two powers should be kept separate, a sentiment which would be exploited by the Bajoran anti-alien Alliance for Global Unity in early 2370. This Alliance, also known as the "Circle", was secretly supported by high ranking officials like Minister Jaro Essa and Vedek Winn Adami and denounced the Federation presence aboard Deep Space 9 as another form of occupation. The Circle even attempted a full-scale coup d'etat in what was later discovered to be an elaborate Cardassian attempt to reclaim Bajor by ousting the Federation. (DS9: "Past Prologue", "In the Hands of the Prophets", "The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege")
After this incident, the Bajoran political situation stabilized despite some internal power struggles due to Winn Adami's ongoing strife for more power. After Kai Opaka went missing in the Gamma Quadrant in mid-2369, Winn became the new Kai in 2370 by blacken and ousting her favored rival candidate Vedek Bareil Antos. Exploiting Bareil's loyalty to the Kai, Winn also tried to take credit of taking first steps towards normalizing the relationship with the Cardassian Union when she falsely claimed to have negotiated the Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty of 2371 by her own. Kai Winn's attempt to become First Minister of the Provisional Government in addition to her position as religious leader of Bajor was unsuccessful, however. Instead, the popular former Resistance fighter Shakaar Edon ascended to that post in late 2371, thereby preventing Winn Adami from uniting these two most important positions in her person. (DS9: "Battle Lines", "The Collaborator", "Life Support", "Shakaar")
Despite Kai Winn's doubts, the Bajoran government eventually applied for Federation membership in 2373. However the application was retracted at the last moment due to visions of the Emissary of the Prophets, depicting disastrous consequences for Bajor if it joins the Federation too early. Nevertheless, the two governments maintained a cordial relationship. Prior to the beginning of the Dominion War, the Emissary's previous intervention allowed Bajor to sign a nonaggression pact with the Dominion, choosing to remain neutral. This saved Bajor from coming under the rule of another foreign power when the Dominion captured Deep Space 9 in late 2373. Bajor finally joined the fight against the Dominion in 2374 after the Federation Alliance recaptured the space station during Operation Return. Despite a brief incident in early 2375, where the Bajoran government denied their Romulan allies to construct a military hospital on Derna, one of Bajor's moons, the Bajorans continued their participation in the war until late 2375, when the Treaty of Bajor finally ended the conflict. Following the war, Bajor resumed its attempt to become a member of the United Federation of Planets.

Radiation therapy for breast cancer
Radiation therapy is treatment with high-energy rays or particles that destroy cancer cells. Radiation to the breast is often given after breast-conserving surgery to help lower the chance that the cancer will come back in the breast or nearby lymph nodes. Radiation may also be recommended after mastectomy in patients either with a cancer larger than 5 cm, or when cancer is found in the lymph nodes.
Radiation is also used to treat cancer that has spread to other areas, for example to the bones or brain.
Radiation therapy can be given externally (external beam radiation) or internally (brachytherapy).
External beam radiation
This is the most common type of radiation therapy for women with breast cancer. The radiation is focused from a machine outside the body on the area affected by the cancer.
The extent of radiation depends on whether mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery (BCS) was done and whether or not lymph nodes are involved.
If mastectomy was done and no lymph nodes had cancer, radiation is targeted at the chest wall and the places where any drains exited the body.
If BCS was done, most often the entire breast gets radiation, and an extra boost of radiation is given to the area in the breast where the cancer was removed to prevent it from coming back in that area. The boost is often given after the treatments to the whole breast have ended. It uses the same machine, but the beams are aimed at the place where the cancer was removed. Most women don't notice different side effects from boost radiation than from whole breast radiation.
If cancer was found in the lymph nodes under the arm, radiation may be given to this area as well. In some cases, the area treated may also include supraclavicular lymph nodes (nodes above the collarbone) and internal mammary lymph nodes (nodes beneath the breast bone in the center of the chest).
When given after surgery, external radiation therapy is usually not started until the tissues have been able to heal, often a month or longer. If chemotherapy is to be given as well, radiation therapy is usually delayed until chemotherapy is complete.
Before your treatments start, the radiation team will take careful measurements to determine the correct angles for aiming the radiation beams and the proper dose of radiation. They will make some ink marks or small tattoos on your skin that they will use later as a guide to focus the radiation on the right area. You might want to ask your health care team if these marks will be permanent.
Lotions, powders, deodorants, and antiperspirants can interfere with external beam radiation therapy, so your health care team may tell you not to use them until treatments are complete.
External radiation therapy is much like getting an x-ray, but the radiation is more intense. The procedure itself is painless. Each treatment lasts only a few minutes, but the setup time—getting you into place for treatment—usually takes longer.
Breast radiation is most commonly given 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) for about 5 to 6 weeks.
Some older women who have breast conserving surgery for early stage breast cancer don't need radiation. (See "Treatment of invasive breast cancer, by stage.")
Accelerated breast irradiation: The standard approach of getting external radiation for 5 days a week over many weeks can be inconvenient for many women. Some doctors are now using other schedules, such as giving slightly larger daily doses over only 3 weeks.
Giving radiation in larger doses using fewer treatments is known as hypofractionated radiation therapy. This approach was studied in a large group of women who had been treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS) and who did not have cancer spread to underarm lymph nodes.
When compared with giving the radiation over 5 weeks, giving it over only 3 weeks was just as good at keeping the cancer from coming back in the same breast over the first 10 years after treatment. Newer approaches now being studied give radiation over an even shorter period of time. In one approach, larger doses of radiation are given each day, but the course of radiation is shortened to only 5 days. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is another approach that gives a single large dose of radiation in the operating room right after BCS (before the breast incision is closed). IORT requires special equipment and is not widely available.
3D-conformal radiotherapy: In this technique, the radiation is given with special machines so that it is better aimed at the area where the tumor was. This allows more of the healthy breast to be spared. Treatments are given twice a day for 5 days. Because only part of the breast is treated, this is considered to be a form of accelerated partial breast irradiation.
Other forms of accelerated partial breast irradiation are described below, under "Brachytherapy." It is hoped that these approaches may prove to be at least equal to the current, standard breast irradiation, but few studies have compared these new methods directly to standard radiation therapy. It is not known if all of the newer methods will still be as good as standard radiation after many years, so many doctors still consider them experimental. Women who are interested in these approaches may want to ask their doctor about taking part in clinical trials of accelerated breast irradiation now going on.
Possible side effects of external radiation: The main short-term side effects of external beam radiation therapy to the breast are swelling and heaviness in the breast, skin changes in the treated area, and fatigue. Skin changes can range from mild redness to blistering and peeling. Your health care team may advise you to avoid exposing the treated skin to the sun because it may make the skin changes worse. Most skin changes get better within a few months. Changes to the breast tissue usually go away in 6 to 12 months, but it can take up to 2 years.
In some women, the breast becomes smaller and firmer after radiation therapy. Having radiation may also affect your options for breast reconstruction later on. It can also raise the risk of problems if it is given after reconstruction, especially tissue flap procedures. Women who have had breast radiation may have problems breastfeeding later on. Radiation to the breast can also sometimes damage some of the nerves to the arm. This is called brachial plexopathy and can lead to numbness, pain, and weakness in the shoulder, arm and hand.
Radiation therapy of axillary lymph nodes also can cause lymphedema. (See "What happens after treatment for breast cancer?")
In rare cases, radiation therapy may weaken the ribs, which could lead to a fracture. In the past, parts of the lungs and heart were more likely to get some radiation, which could lead to long-term damage of these organs in some women. But modern radiation therapy equipment allows doctors to better focus the radiation beams, so these problems are rare today.
A very rare complication of radiation to the breast is the development of another cancer called angiosarcoma. (See "What is breast cancer?") These rare cancers can grow and spread quickly.
Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation, is another way to deliver radiation therapy. Instead of aiming radiation beams from outside the body, radioactive seeds or pellets are placed into a device in the breast tissue in the area where the cancer had been. It can be used along with external beam radiation in patients who had breast conserving surgery (BCS) as a way to add an extra boost of radiation to the tumor site. It may also be used by itself (instead of radiation to the whole breast). Tumor size, location, and other factors may limit who can get brachytherapy.
There are different types of brachytherapy.
Interstitial brachytherapy: In this approach, several small, hollow tubes called catheters are inserted into the breast around the area where the cancer was removed and are left in place for several days. Radioactive pellets are inserted into the catheters for short periods of time each day and then removed. This method of brachytherapy has been around longer (and has more evidence to support it), but it is not used as much anymore.
Intracavitary brachytherapy: This is the most common type of brachytherapy for women with breast cancer and is considered a form of accelerated partial breast irradiation. A device is put into the space left from BCS and is left in place until treatment is complete. There are several different devices that can be used: MammoSite®, SAVI®, Axxent®, and Contura®. They all go into the breast as a small catheter (tube). The end of the device inside the breast is then expanded so that it stays securely in the right place for the entire treatment. The other end of the catheter sticks out of the breast.
For each treatment, one or more sources of radiation (often pellets) is placed down through the tube and into the device for a short time and then removed. Treatments are given twice a day for 5 days as an outpatient. After the last treatment, the device is collapsed down again and removed.
Early studies of intracavitary brachytherapy as the only radiation after breast conserving surgery (BCS) had promising results, but didn't directly compare this technique with standard whole breast external beam radiation.
One study that compared outcomes between intracavitary brachytherapy and whole breast radiation after BCS found that women treated with brachytherapy were twice as likely to go on to get a mastectomy of the treated breast (most likely because cancer was found again in that breast). The overall risk was still low, however, with about 4% of the women in the brachytherapy group needing mastectomy versus only 2% of the women in the whole breast radiation group.
This study raises questions about whether irradiating only the area around the cancer will reduce the chances of the cancer coming back as much as giving radiation to the whole breast. More studies comparing the 2 approaches are needed to see if brachytherapy should be used instead of whole breast radiation.
Intracavitary brachytherapy can also have side effects, including redness, bruising, breast pain, infection, and a break-down of an area of fat tissue in the breast. As with whole breast radiation, weakness and fracture of the ribs can also occur.

Linux has a very small but incredibly committed following. Even though there are not that many people that use this free operating system, the people who do use it are very vocal about why they love it and they are very proud to use it. Even though you probably do not know many Linux users, you have probably seen a bumper sticker or two on the highway in support of the free operating system.
Even though Windows is by far the most popular OS and will probably always be, there are many people that use Linux and claim that it has a lot of advantages over Windows. So if it does have all these advantages over Windows and it is also free, why then is it not more popular? Well, according to most accounts, it is definitely not as easy to use as Windows, and it is something that is embraced mostly by people who are really computer savvy.
But these people that do use it say that once you go Linux, you will never go back to Windows. So if would be interested to see what these people say about Linux and why they prefer it to Windows.
Obviously, the most blatant and obvious advantage is the fact Linux is free and Windows is quite expensive. A lot of people are wrongfully under the impression that they got their Windows OS for free, but they really did not. When you pirate the software illegal, that's a different thing, but there are a lot of people who think that since they bought a computer that "comes with Windows," that they got Windows for free. But that could not be farther from the truth. The price of Windows is actually figured into the price of the computer when it is being sold that way, and that is actually the way in which Windows and Microsoft make a majority of their money. In fact, in the case of the average personal computer that is sold to someone with Windows, the OS makes up roughly one fourth of the price tag.
So if you have a legal version of Windows, you have paid a pretty hefty price for it, considering there is a free alternative called Linux. Another thing that Linux supports say is superior is the fact that Linux users are at a much smaller risk of getting virus on their computers. Not only viruses, but spyware, adware, and any other such agents that attack your computer.
So why do computer with Linux get attacked less? Are their shields against this stuff better? Not really. The simple fact is that a majority of viruses that are made are made to attack computers that are running Windows. Since most of the world is using Windows, people who make viruses focus all of their attention on making viruses that will attack Windows, not making Viruses that will attack the very small population of people who are running their computers on Linux.

'Severely' overburdened homeowners, renters
How many people spend more than half their income on housing costs? More than you might think.
In the Baltimore area, one in five households with workers pulling down middle-income or lower-income wages fell into that pinched group in 2010, according to a new report by the Center for Housing Policy. That's nearly 85,000 households "severely burdened by their housing costs."
But it's not quite as bad as the nation overall, with nearly one in four of what the center dubs "working households" falling into that category.
The center, which looked at regions and states across the country, considered all renter and owner households with adults who made no more than 20 percent over their area's median income and worked at least 20 hours a week on average in 2010. That means retirees weren't part of the calculation -- and neither were those who were out of work or had their weekly hours cut below 20, a situation that plenty of Americans were stuck in that year.
