Oklahoma City Thunder: Mitch McGary makes his presence known immediately in summer league
ORLANDO, Fla. - Here's how long it took Mitch McGary to announce his presence in his summer league debut.
Two seconds.
On his first possession in the Thunder's 84-63 loss to Memphis on the opening day of the Orlando Pro Summer League, the 21st overall pick out of Michigan inbounded the ball from the sideline, just past halfcourt, by tossing a pinpoint lob pass to Jeremy Lamb, who finished the play with a two-handed dunk.
Just like that, McGary put the passing skills he's been so effusively praised for on display.
The rest of his night was filled with a beautiful blend of basketball basics that McGary makes look easy, a mixture of skills that someday could make the big man a steal.
Two minutes after throwing that pinpoint pass, McGary pulled down an offensive rebound in between two Grizzlies. When he couldn't squeeze it in, he dove on the floor to save it as the ball squirted toward the baseline out of bounds line.
Say hello to his rebounding and hustle.
Still concerned about his surgically-repaired back?
McGary might have put those worries to rest midway through the second quarter, when he skied for another offensive rebound — notice a theme developing here — and was inadvertently undercut by a Grizzles defender. For a brief moment, McGary was horizontal, his back resting on the shoulders of said defender. McGary then hit the floor, but was able to brace himself before impact.
He sent a scare through the Thunder, as general manager Sam Presti and assistant general manager Troy Weaver, sitting side-by-side at the scorer's table, ignored play as it went the other way and locked in on McGary as he rose to his feet. McGary stood, stretched and quickly shook it off before slowly retreating to the other end.
The old college injury, McGary said, never crossed his mind.
"My back feels great," McGary insisted. "I only have one gear, and it's all or nothing. So I'm just going to keep going. I didn't feel anything in there that was holding me back or anything like that. I was just trying to help the team win."
McGary hadn't played in a real game since Dec. 14. He underwent back surgery on Jan. 7.
Under the circumstances, his summer league debut couldn't have gone better. But maybe the layoff also explains McGary's boundless energy.
Or maybe that's just what we can expect of McGary every night.
"Hopefully every night," McGary said, smiling. "I like to play with a lot of energy. I'm a hustle type of player. I like to pick the guys up, talk on defense and provide that extra bit of energy to get us going on offense."
McGary scored eight points with three rebounds in 21 minutes, adding a steal and a blocked shot. Thunder summer league coach Darko Rajakovic said McGary isn't under any restrictions but, like most every other Thunder player here this week, isn't likely to play in every game simply to rest.
Another day of being forced to watch from the bench is the last thing on McGary's mind.
"It feels really good," McGary said of his long-awaited return. "It's been a long time coming, just to get back on the court. I was just doing everything I could to help the team win."
The Thunder is not asking much from McGary. The goal for him is to run the floor hard, play solid pick-and-roll defense and learn the team's terminology.
Teammates have no doubt McGary will be able to do those things.
"He's very confident in himself," said Thunder forward Perry Jones. "That's something you need to be successful in this league. You need confidence. And that's something I've seen since he's been here. He's been very confident. Hopefully we can push that a little more, make him even more comfortable."
McGary moved his feet well on defense in the pick and roll, hedging out to wall off the ball-handler before scurrying back to his man underneath the basket. His lone blocked shot came with him as the weak side defender, the last line of defense that prevented what otherwise would have been an uncontested dunk.
Offensively, McGary looked extremely comfortable in the post. Throwing his weight around against fellow rookie Jarnell Stokes, a short but also stocky bruiser who, at 250 pounds, bullied opponents while at Tennessee, McGary had no trouble carving out space on the low block. On two possessions, McGary caught an entry pass and showed a quick and nifty spin off his man, dribbling once before finishing with a layup or dunk.
Aside from his non-stop energy, McGary's power and physicality are what impressed the most.
"He's just like another Steven (Adams)," Jones said.
Big. Strong. Physical. Skilled.
"He'll do anything for the team," Lamb said.

Just doing my part
I've always felt lucky, blessed really, that I've been able to provide milk for my baby without any troubles. Unfortunately I know that for some women, that's not the case. I know at least three women who have had trouble either producing enough milk for their baby or not producing any at all. I bought a breastpump when Ava was 6 months old so that I could express some milk to mix with her cereal. We didn't end up feeding her cereal for very long because it constipated her. So then I was left with a pump that I didn't figure I'd have a useRead More →

Hiding Your Tools
Inside Man
They live in my kitchen, fill my shed, line my drawers, overwhelm my closets, and get stashed in my guest room. Tools are the necessary baggage of my DIY lifestyle, yet a hindrance when entertaining, cleaning or trying to please the wife. Here are some ideas on where they should live instead.

Location: Downtown Los Angeles
Style: Fun, artistic, modern loft
Go Los Angeles! I'd never had the opportunity to work with a vintage LA loft before, and it was a gas. Barney's loft was also a perfect job for our sponsor, Valspar Paint, because of the sheer height and length of his walls. With so much space, I really relied on the new color to warm up and make this room happen. And while I was nervous that the colors we chose might not work (there was nowhere to hide if they didn't), I think they're pretty much perfect. Check it out.

Jay Jeffers is an interior designer based in California and with more than a decade of projects behind him, his portfolio includes many style trademarks.

Quintessential Style from Valspar Paint
As part of our ongoing Inside Man guide to guy style, Valspar Paint, Apartment Therapy, and the GQ Design Group are posting about sophisticated color for men.

Barney's wall is going green! With the help of Valspar Paint, we're finishing the final details of our Los Angeles makeover and preparing for the reveal on Thursday.
Barney has a loft in Downtown LA, and I met with him last month to figure out how we could add color and personality to his home. As a newlywed, Barney wanted to make the space more comfortable and livable for himself and his wife, Evelyn. We've been rearranging furniture, painting the walls, and adding artwork to personalize this huge, open space. Here's a run-down of what we've accomplished so far.

Didn't Toseland have some heavy crashes in testing in the run up to his second season?
I thought Bradley rode pretty well - the way he talks in the blog and the last 2 races indicate they are finally getting on top of the bike. I now wonder whether he would be better suited spending one more year in Moto2 as they have the bike sussed (I hope) and winning a few races?
I hope in 2014 we have Cal, Brad and Scott in Moto GP. That would be amazing for GB.

[caption id="attachment_66034" align="alignright" width="240"] Kimberly Kaselionis served as chairwoman and CEO of Circle Bank before its acquisition by Umpqua Holdings Corp.[/caption]
NOVATO -- Kimberly Kaselionis, chairwoman and chief executive officer of the former Circle Bank since 1996, announced today that she has left the institution after the completion of its acquisition by Portland, Ore.-based Umpqua Bank.
Umpqua Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: UMPQ), the parent company of Umpqua Bank, announced the completion of the acquisition on Nov. 15. Circle Bank's six North Bay branches and one San Francisco branch now operate under the Umpqua name.
Ms. Kaselionis remained with Circle Bank during the transition, which was first announced as a definitive agreement in August. While discussions had occurred concerning a regional role for Ms. Kaselionis within Umpqua, the former CEO said that her exit represented a joint decision that would ease the combined institution's change in leadership.
"While I am grateful to Umpqua for expressing a desire to find a meaningful role for me, I decided that I would prefer to look for an opportunity that best utilizes my entrepreneurial skills," said Ms. Kaselionis, in the announcement.
Umpqua acquired Circle Bank for $24.9 million, which includes a cash consideration for common shareholders of $20.4 million -- $17.75 per share -- and a planned cash redemption of $3.5 million in preferred stock and outstanding options.
Circle Bank had grown to be the second-largest financial institution based in Marin County, with more than $300 million in assets. The bank was launched in 2003, born from a group of investors that embarked on a $3 million recapitalization effort of the ailing Novato Community Bank in 1996.
The investor group was lead by Kit Cole, who shares a history of entrepreneurship with her daughter, Ms. Kaselionis. The pair had previously founded two other North Bay institutions: New Horizon Savings in 1981 and Tamalpais Bank in 1991. Luther Burbank Savings acquired New Horizon 10 years later. Tamalpais Bank was closed by regulators in 2010, three years after the departure of Ms. Cole as chairman and 14 years after Ms. Kaselionis was named as CEO of the institution that would become Circle Bank.
Umpqua's acquisition of Circle Bank is part of a major push by the bank across the Bay Area. The long-planned headquarters for Circle Bank at 999 Grant Ave. in Novato will now serve as Umpqua's North Bay flagship, along with other high-profile branches in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

New London - Captain Scott's Lobster Dock on Hamilton Street took a pounding during Superstorm Sandy, but the 4 feet of water that inundated the building receded quickly, and the seasonal restaurant is expected to reopen April 1, a few weeks later than planned, after completing major repairs.
Tom Eshenfelder, who with sister Susan owns the restaurant and associated marina downtown, said the storm surge destroyed most of the electrical equipment in the building, which has been replaced with new devices, thanks to a quick insurance settlement expedited by Andy Levine of Levine Insurance. The dock and dozens of picnic tables on site were unaffected by the rising waters, though a walk-in cooler broke loose and moved about 15 feet and practically every wall in the building had to be mended.
"In 20 years, I never saw water in the building," Tom Eshenfelder said of the flood.
A lot of people in the region haven't heard about the storm's effect because of Captain Scott's isolated position on Shaw's Cove, Eshenfelder added. Luckily, the surge occurred two weeks after Captain Scott's had closed for the winter.
"It was perfect timing in a way," said Susan Eshenfelder.
"We took full advantage of the opportunity," said Tom, a former lobsterman. "We made lemonade out of lemons."
In addition to gaining new equipment, the Eshenfelders reconfigured space to create a larger kitchen. The extra space should allow customers to be served more quickly because more cooks can now fit into the space, the Eshenfelders said.
The restaurant, which seasonally employs many New London and Waterford high school students, often has huge lines in the summer clamoring for lobster rolls - both hot and cold, though the warmer variety is by far the favorite.
"People come down for the seafood," Tom Eshenfelder said, though the restaurant also has burgers, fries and ice cream, among other summertime favorites.
This year will be the 18th season at Captain Scott's, which is generally open from March to October and includes a separate fish market and 45-slip, year-round marina. Last year's mild weather encouraged the family to open up earlier than usual, Feb. 26.
This year, the Eshenfelders had been hoping for a March 22 opening, but the extent of the storm damage forced a more realistic April 1 date. Four or five subcontractors were still working on the building just a few weeks before the scheduled opening.
"New London has been lucky; we haven't had a bad storm here in a long time." Tom Eshenfelder said. "This should teach everyone about what a real hurricane will do."

Groomed eyebrows more easily convey emotions, much like animals who know rude hand gestures. Say it subtly with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $13.25 for three eyebrow threading sessions (a $24 value)
- $19 for one brazilian wax (a $40 value)
- $24 for one brazilian wax and one eyebrow threading (a $48 value)<p>
At Thread, aestheticians try to find the most natural way to uncover a client's beauty. They specialize in threading treatments, for which they use only a long piece of cotton thread to shape eyebrows and depilate faces without burning or tugging at skin. And to complement newly groomed faces, they offer a range of services. Aestheticians can polish complexions with facials, add a touch of the East with henna tattoos, or emphasize eyes with eyelash extensions. Outside of the facial area, they focus on waxing treatments. But they eschew traditional waxes in favor of a natural honey wax, which adheres to every hair for clean bikini lines and smooth legs that pair well with a cup of tea.
91% of 44 customers recommend
"Bindu was so great & professional. It was my first time doing a Brazilian and she was so nice about it."
"There are three locations so make sure you go to the right location based on the address on your groupon."
"I love that you did such a wonderful job you are very professional"

After his federal industrial hemp bill failed to move forward late last week, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden wagged his finger in shame not at the closed-minded Senate that wouldn't work with Wyden, but at marijuana users.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon.
See, Wyden thinks that because marijuana users are prone to being pro-hemp that the two issues are seen as one in the same. And it's clearly the pot smoker's fault according to Wyden, not the ignorant elected officials.
Wyden introduced an amendment to the upcoming federal farm bill back in May that would have removed hemp from the controlled substances act, where it sits alongside it's infinitely more mind-expanding cousin cannabis. States would have been allowed to regulated (or ban) hemp farming as they see fit. Last week, the senate refused to move the hemp amendment forward for a vote, pretty much tabling the bill for the session.
"Between the generational misconceptions about hemp within the Congress, continued opposition from the Drug Enforcement Agency, [sic] and no clear opportunity to vote on further Farm Bill amendments, the time is not yet ripe for industrial hemp," Wyden said in a press release. "Better organized advocacy on behalf of hemp, clearly separated from advocacy for cannabis, is vital to overcoming these obstacles. As we continue to build support and look for other avenues, state agricultural commissioners, farmers and business that would benefit from this legislation need to help get the facts out there and push for Congress to pass this bill."
The words are harsh, and sound like they are coming from a child who didn't get his way. Wyden even managed to piss off staffers who worked for the grassroots group Vote Hemp, who helped craft the language.
"Senator Wyden makes a lame excuse for not getting the votes. Hemp is illegal because of marijuana prohibition that has overstepped, not because there is something wrong with hemp. I say, admit failure, bro, and blame your colleagues' narrow mindedness, not the hemp advocates," Eidinger said to the Huffington Post. "His statement is insulting, yes."
Industrial hemp isn't dead at the federal level yet, though. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013 is still currently alive and well in both the House and Senate, though neither branch has scheduled it for discussion as of yet.

Fragments of images collaged together through digital compositions are the means of my recent book. The use of technical illustrations of machinery, mathematical diagrams photos of the human figure, textures, location photographs, words and letters and anatomical drawings used in this series all demonstrate an explicit observation about the details of form. These collaged images which share all the technical illustrations, enable us see the powerful relation between science and art.

New London - At the Second Congregational Church's first Sunday worship of the month and the second-to-last in its longtime home at 45 Broad St., deacon JoAnn Barrows, breezy in a blue Hawaiian shirt, reassured the parishioners that it would be a short service on this hot day.
The congregation will see its last Sunday worship here next weekend, ending 178 years of calling New London home. The congregation has called this church home since fire destroyed its original building in 1868.
In May, the congregation voted to transfer ownership of the building at Broad and Hempstead streets to the Miracle Temple Church of New London; and last month, to share the space of Crossroads Presbyterian Church in Waterford.
The church's other tenants will stay at least through the end of the lease, which runs through next year, and the Clarke Memorial AME Zion Church will continue to meet there.
The decision to leave came after waning membership and a long financial struggle left the congregation with little choice, and after a failed merger attempt with the First Congregational Church just a few blocks away at State and Union streets.
Over the humming of the little white fans perched in the sills of the thrown-open stained glass windows, the church's choir director and organist Allyn Donath led the couple dozen parishioners scattered among the pews in the first-Sunday tradition - singing "Best wishes, God bless you" to the tune of "Happy Birthday" to those with a July birthday.
Mamie Rutherford stood with three other women to be serenaded.
Rutherford came to New London by way of Georgia and Arkansas 45 years ago when her husband accepted a job as an economics professor at the Coast Guard Academy. They looked at four different area churches before settling here, where all four of their children would be baptized.
"We came here and didn't look anymore," she said. "We said, 'This is it.'"
As worship began Sunday with Psalm 23 - "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" - the brave faces here abounded, including Donath's. Like her mother, she was born and raised in New London, and has been a member of the church for 54 years.
"I look at it as a new opportunity," she said.
Barrows, who led the service with several other deacons in the absence of Rev. Matt McCaffrey, who will return from vacation for his congregation's final worship here, said it was a difficult decision to make, but a necessary one.
"I think we're all sad that we're leaving," she said. "But we're looking forward to a new home with new friends."
Barrows' husband, Winston - who was baptized and went to Sunday school here, and who tells a story of the church kicking out his great-grandfather for failing to pay his pew dues - said one thing he will not miss is the building's many maintenance woes, including what he called "eternal leaks."
"Our faith is our faith wherever we practice it," he said.
Another plus: the new building will have air conditioning.
Wearing an elegant white church hat, Church Council Co-Chairwoman Diantha McMorrow said that the building's history will remain in the care of the Miracle Temple, which will preserve the parishioners' beloved memorial plaques.
McMorrow echoed the Barrows' optimism.
"It's time for a change, and we're pleased about it," she said. "It's a new beginning and it's exciting."
Henry Curtis, a parishioner here for 65 years, remembers when the pews were packed to the brim in the sanctuary that can hold 500. As the Sunday school superintendent, he said he once oversaw a student body of 400. Now, you can count the Sunday school children on two hands.
Curtis came to New London in 1956 after getting out of the Navy. He and his wife joined the church a couple of years later. His three small children went to Sunday school while he and his wife worshiped on Sunday mornings.
He's not happy about the move, he said - it just won't be the same. But there was simply no choice.
"When the inevitable comes," he said, "you have to accept it."
The church's last service in the Broad Street building will be held Sunday at 10 a.m., followed by a car caravan to its new home at Crossroads Presbyterian Church. The first service there will be Sunday, July 21, at 11 a.m.

Team-by-team glance with links to team schedules, click here.
The Prairie Falcons opened the 2011-12 girls basketball season ranked No. 1 in the state for Class 3A by the Seattle Times.
Team-by-team glance with links to team schedules, click here.
The Skyview Storm opened No. 7 in the 4A rankings.
Top 10 in 4A is better than tops in the 3A, at least for the early part of the season.
Jocelyn Adams had 15 points and 12 rebounds, Katie Swanson added 10 points, and the Skyview post players ruled Monday night in a 48-33 victory over a cold-shooting Prairie squad.
While this was an intriguing matchup for the Falcons to open the season and a test in Skyview's third game of the season, this result will have no official ramifications for the long-term goals for each team. Different classifications, different leagues, different routes to state.
It was simply a non-league game between the two best teams in the region.
But the Storm, who had never beaten the Falcons in program history, did gain something out of the victory.
"This will help us in the postseason, just knowing we can play with the top teams and we can step up to that level," Swanson said. "We really proved ourselves tonight."
Skyview will be trying to get back to the state tournament for the first time since 2008 and just the sixth time in school history.
Prairie is the barometer of girls basketball in the region. The Falcons have reached the state tournament the past 14 seasons and expect to make another long run this season. They have now lost just twice to a Clark County opponent since 2000.
"It's just a win," Skyview coach Jennifer Buscher said. "We have a lot of respect for the Prairie program, the success that they've had. We're trying to build our own success here."
Hours before the game, Prairie coach Al Aldridge said he likes the preseason rankings, even if they are meaningless in the long run.
"It's kind of fun," Aldridge said of the top ranking. "It isn't like we don't have a target on us anyway. Just a bigger target now. I can't say unequivocally that we'll be there at the end of the season, in terms of the poll, but we have a legitimate chance at winning a state title this year if we stay healthy and we can get better."
With University of Washington-bound Heather Corral and battle-tested juniors Jackie Lanz, Megan Lindsley, and Cori Woodward from last year's run to the state championship game, there is good reason for such expectations. Plus, even on an off shooting night, the Falcons still have their defense. They were still in Monday's game until late, forcing 23 Skyview turnovers.
Of course, Aldridge is a veteran basketball coach, so he had to be a bit cautious of thinking about the future.
"It sure doesn't look like we're a state championship team now. Way too early for that nonsense," he said prior to the game.
Surely, his opinion did not change after Monday's game. His squad failed to get much done in the paint against the taller Storm. And when the Falcons took their shots from the outside, it was a rare moment when those shots went in the basket.
Prairie was 4 of 30 from the floor in the first half and finished 11 for 60.
Not only were the Falcons missing a lot of shots, but Skyview was getting most of the rebounds. The Storm had a 50-26 edge on the boards. Adams, Larissa Hamilton, and Brooke Bowen each recorded double-digit rebound totals.
"It was the big and fast vs. the small and quick," Buscher said after the game.
Big and fast won this one.
Adams said it was a bittersweet victory for her because she has so many friends on the Prairie team. She sat out last year after transferring to Skyview.
"I still love them," she said.
But it felt good to win, too.
"It's just overwhelming right now," she said.
The Storm improved to 3-0 and hope their promising start leads to a better finish.
"We're definitely excited. We've got a senior-laden team, which helps a ton," Buscher said. "It's nice to get some respect from up in Seattle."
Delaney Keser, Bowen and Swanson are the team's leaders, but the squad is deep in terms of talent.
If those polls are accurate, that means Skyview would be in the Tacoma Dome in the elite eight.
"That's our ultimate goal," Buscher said. "Every game, we want to get better because that's where we want to be in March. We do have the potential, that's for sure."
In the 4A GSHL, Battle Ground has a lot of returning talent, as well. Evergreen, which reached the state's sweet 16 last season, might surprise this campaign despite losing talent to graduation and other player movement. Union should be improved. And Heritage already has four wins this season, just one fewer than last year.
Skyview, though, is the clear favorite.
In the 3A GSHL, it appears to be all Prairie, all the time. Mountain View could make the leap to second place, but Camas will have a say in that battle, too.
The Falcons, though, do not expect much competition in league play. Which is why Aldridge schedules a team such as Skyview every season. Prairie also will travel to the San Francisco Bay Area for a tournament later this month — four games in four days against teams from California and Nevada.
"It's great for the kids," Aldridge said. "For the travel experience, getting ready for state, for the competition, and to get to play new quality teams from another area of the country."
He also hopes the trips build team unity and some confidence.
League play will dominate the schedule after the holidays.
Over at Skyview, Buscher said she wished she could schedule the Prairie game in January, perhaps midway through league play. It might give both teams a strong primer before the stretch run.
Instead, the two best teams in Clark County played in the first full week of December.
It was a strong showcase of talent. The Falcons know that it is unlikely they will shoot that poorly again. The Storm know they can shut down a quality opponent.
And with the Skyview vs. Prairie game Monday night, the girls basketball season has officially begun in Clark County.
PRAIRIE — Lindsay Asplund 0, Cori Woodward 12, Heather Corral 5, Kelsey Asplund 2, Nicole Goecke 0, Megan Lindsley 9, Andrea Smith 2, Jackie Lanz 3. Totals 11-60 (5-31) 6-7 33.

Conquer LLCRead MoreSand shifts and slides beneath the feet of the athletes who traverse it. It softens pressure on the joints, but provides additional resistance for the volleyball players who favor the beach form of the sport. These are fundamental truths that Conquer's owner Jake Marshman understands. They are why his gym contains three pro-level indoor beach volleyball courts. There, he hosts classes that allow beach volleyball enthusiasts to practice their sport at any time of the year. This is a unique opportunity in Minnesota, where indoor courts are scarce, and the government has recently upgraded winter to the Ultra-Deluxe version. But the sand isn't for beach volleyball alone. Marshman also hosts race and obstacle training that's inspired by the popularity of races like Tough Mudder and Warrior Dash. During training sessions, the sand becomes a medium that mimics the slipperiness and resistance of mud (though without the mess). Students can practice their hanging, jumping, and vaulting skills on more than 20 obstacles that pepper the gym, from hanging rings and monkey bars to a towering warped wall.7300 32nd Ave. NorthCrystal, MN US

Hi there guys! I'm new to the site, but am a veteran roleplayer, and took an interest in yours here. I see that you have a single student slot open, as well as some teachers. Before I get started though, I just had a few questions.
First, I didn't see any mention of it, but should I apply, do I need to include a sample post? If so, can it be a sample from a previous roleplay, or would you prefer it be within the context of the roleplay? I can provide either, but wanted to be sure for the sake of time constraints.
Second, there may be a few days in a row in which I'll be entirely unavailable, repeatedly. I can, however, notify you of these days in most cases. Would that be acceptable? Or would it prove too detrimental to the flow of the roleplay?
Thank you for your time.

This summary table contains detailed information about research studies. Summary tables offer an informative look at the science behind many breast cancer guidelines and recommendations. However, they should be viewed with some caution. In order to read and interpret research tables successfully, it is important to understand some key concepts. Learn how to read a research table.
Introduction: Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields to create an image of the breast.
There is growing evidence that breast MRI in combination with mammography, compared to mammography alone, can increase breast cancer detection in some women at higher risk. The American Cancer Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommend breast MRI as part of breast cancer screening for women at higher risk due to [1-2]:
Breast MRI is not recommended as part of breast cancer screening for women at average risk.
Learn more about breast MRI.
Screening breast MRI has some drawbacks. Compared to mammography, it is more invasive because a contrast agent is given through an IV before the procedure. And, not all centers have radiologists specially trained to read breast MRI images. Breast MRI is also expensive (and not always covered by insurance) and has more false positive results than mammography.
Learn more about false positive results.
The main goal of any cancer screening test is to correctly identify those people who have cancer (called the sensitivity of the test). When sensitivity is high, very few cases are missed. However, this means some healthy people will be misidentified as having cancer (a false positive result). For example, a sensitivity of 90 percent means that 90 percent of people tested who truly have cancer are correctly identified as having cancer.
An ideal cancer screening test would also be able to correctly identify all the people who do not have cancer as not having it (called the specificity of the test). When specificity is high, there are fewer false positive results, but more cases of true cancer are missed. For example, a specificity of 90 percent means that 90 percent of the people who are healthy are correctly identified as not having cancer.
No screening test has perfect sensitivity and perfect specificity. There is a trade-off between the two for all types of screening tests. That is, when a test gains sensitivity, it loses some specificity.
Learn more about the quality of screening tests.
Study selection criteria: Clinical trials and meta-analyses of women at high risk for breast cancer (defined as either having a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation or having a family history suggesting a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation) with at least 20 invasive breast cancer cases.
Table note: The studies presented below compare sensitivity and specificity for screening with mammography alone, breast MRI alone and breast MRI plus mammography. At this time, there are no data comparing survival among women who have mammography alone versus those who have breast MRI plus mammography.

Henrico woman wins $10k home energy makeover contest
Citizen Staff Reports 10/15/12
Princess Banks of Henrico is the winner of the Richmond Region Energy Alliance's $10,000 Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest, officials announced Oct. 15. Banks and her husband, along with their nine-year-old daughter, will receive energy updates to their home by mid-November, including a new heating and cooling system, added insulation and duct sealing.
"The grand prize is going to a family who will see a vast improvement in their home's energy performance," said Bill Greenleaf, executive director of the Richmond Region Energy Alliance. "As we promised, this family won once and they will save forever."
"My family and I [will be] so happy to finally have some comfort in our home. We are truly blessed to be winners of this contest. Thanks to RREA… we no longer have to save to afford the cost of replacing our HVAC system and insulating the home," Banks said.
Banks was one of more than 1,500 people who entered the Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest, which ran from July 16 to Aug. 26, She and the other nine finalists received free energy assessments on their homes, valued at $350 each.

Sarah Carrasco's three-run home run gave the 49ers the lead in the fifth inning.
Feb. 9, 2014
Long Beach, Calif. - Things looked dire for Long Beach State in the team's rematch with Kent State, down 6-1 with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. However, Ashley Holmes hit her second home run of the weekend, and then Sarah Carrasco capped off the comeback with a three-run blast over the scoreboard as the 49ers rallied to defeat the Golden Flashes 9-7.
Kent State was able to push across a run in each of the first three innings, and escaping a threat by the 49ers in the second inning by allowing just a single run. The Golden Flashes looked to put the game away in the fifth inning, as Amanda Hansen put two on and then surrendered a three-run to Maddy Grimm as Kent State took a 6-1 lead.
Needing some heroes to step up, Long Beach State found them in the bottom of the inning. Cya Neal led off frame with a single, and Hannah De Gaetano followed with a base hit of her own to put runners on the corners. Kent State reliever Ronnie Ladines picked up two outs on the next two batters, and while the 49ers pushed a run across, the rally looked like it was coming to an end.
Instead, Holmes turned on a pitch to left, cutting the Kent State lead to 6-4. The Golden Flashes turned to pitcher Emma Johnson, who had stifled the 49er bats a day ago, but the two-out rally continued, as freshman Lauren Lombardi collected her first collegiate hit, and Christina Montoya walked to put two runners on for Carrasco.
Coming in on a pinch hit appearance, the senior smashed an offering by Johnson not just over the wall, but over the scoreboard in left center to give Long Beach State the lead heading into the sixth inning.
Long Beach State added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning on a two-run hit by Lombardi, and Erin Jones-Wesley finished off the game for Long Beach State, collecting her fifth career save in the process, while Hansen earned the win to improve to 3-0 in 2014.
Long Beach State will now hit the road for the next two weekends while continuing tournament play. The 49ers will start at the Easton Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev., starting competition on Friday, February 14.

It's obvious that 21 year-old Newcastle left-back Davide Santon has a very high opinion of his manager Alan Pardew, and he rates Alan alongside Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.
Davide Santon – has a high opinion of Newcastle manager
And Davide knows all about Jose Mourinho, since the former Chelsea and Porto manager was his coach at Inter-Milan, and in fact gave him his debut for the Italian giants.
Davide left Inter-Milan for Newcastle in the summer of last year for around £5M, and he is now the starting left back at the Magpies, and has looked good so far this season.
And the Italian International credits Pardew for handling him so well after he first arrived at Newcastle, at 20 years old, and in a new country, and he didn't speak English.
This is what Davides said on Gazzetta dello Sport today:
"Pardew is a great coach with a lot in common with Jose Mourinho," "He's scrupulous, he teaches football, he knows tactics and opponents."
"The first few months were not easy. I didn't speak the language and coach Pardew kept me on the bench for some time." "He explained I have to study the Premier League. He was right, he protected my integration."
"It won't be easy to repeat last year's win but we will try." "It could be the right match for our Papiss Cisse." "He has yet to score and United is the right opponent for him to loosen up."
Papiss is yet to score in the Premier League this season, but has one goal in the Capital One Cup against Manchester United, and an excellent goal last Thursday in the Europa League against Bordeax.
We have Manchester United as the visitors tomorrow afternoon, and it would be great to go into the International break with a good win, or at the very least a very good performance from the lads.
But a win is what we really need, after the terrific showing of Newcastle against Bordeaux on Thursday night in the Europe League, that sent us top of Group D.

India rupee touched a 4-week high at 60.38 levels on spot, as FIIs poured billions of US Dollars into the domestic debt and equity instruments. Over this week, traders will keep a close eye on the Q1 GDP data as well the Q1 current account numbers. We expect GDP growth to show improvement over previous quarter but current account deficit can increase vis a vis Q4 FY14. There is little scope for fresh inflows in debt segment, as FIIs have exhausted all available investment limits in GOI bonds, and they not shown much appetite for other categories of debt. Therefore, whether Rupee can continue to throw alpha or not would depend on how much are FIIs are willing to chase the Indian equity bull market. Full Coverage: Indian rupee vs US dollar, others
Over the near term, support is expected between 60:35/40 levels, which if broken can expose 60:00/10 levels on spot. On the way up, the pair needs to trade above 60:60 and sustain, to open targets of 61:00/10 levels. Rupee continues to generate alpha for the foreign investor, as a result, we are seeing a herding behaviour in our domestic asset markets. Therefore, going forward, incase the momentum driven asset chase gets over, then Rupee might have a lot of catching up to do with where the US Dollar is trading in the global markets. However, over the medium to long term, Rupee is in a much stable ground, due to the monetary policies of the central bank. Breaking away from the past, the new RBI governor has walked his talk on the inflation front. He has not resorted to the quantitative easing, which his predecessor did. At the same time the central bank governor has kept the growth of narrow money under check. On one hand, when he infused Rupee liquidity through spot purchases of US Dollar, on the other hand, he ensured that the new money is offset by the reduction in the GOI debt portfolio. We continue to expect the RBI to play a hawk on money supply. As unbridled growth in money supply, without commensurate growth in productivity, is sure recipe for inflation, be it asset inflation or general price level inflation in the economy.
In Global markets, US Dollar has been appreciated against currencies like Euro, Pound, Yen, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, where the interest rates are low. However, US Dollar

Oh well I will figure a way to be there. Probably kill a guy. I dunno I will figure it out.
I was in to get Michigan tickets but everytime i had to write a small novel in the capcha, i would lose out on the tickets. Did get Kansas Tickets though.
Hooray for Metaphors!
I got 3 tickets for the Michigan game. 4 rows from the top but I'm just glad to be there!
I scored a pair for the Michigan game right at 8.
I got 2 for Michigan and 2 for Iowa, and I did the Michigan ones after the Iowa tix
Every time I learn something new, something old gets pushed out of my brain
Michigan is NOT sold out yet! Single tickets are still available.
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
Well, looks like its about time I start working on the in-laws to try to secure one of their season tickets to the Michigan game...
I had Kansas tickets then made it to the "verify by visa" page then it failed and sold out before I got back. Same thing happened for Baylor tickets except for the sold out part. Then I got OK st tickets, then it happened again for Kansas St. What a frustrating morning.
I will just wait now on my parents season tickets and buying through other routes. I am not too worried about it. I went to plenty of games last year and didn't buy until last minute.
I may have some Michigan tickets for sale. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Stay tuned!
Blah! Forgot about this until 8:15, so didn't get two Iowa tickets together.
Anyone want to trade two together for two singles? Depending on seat quality, I'll throw in some cash to even it up . . .
I knew I should have bought more.
Nonetheless, excited to make the trip down to my first game in Hilton for years! Woot!

It seems like in the recent years the 757 has become a popular favorite for airlines on routes that in the past would have been flown by much larger planes. Continental for one has employed their 757's to Berlin from EWR, others like ATA use their 75s to Hawaii. There's always been debate how comfortable a narrow body is on a long haul route and with good cause, at first glance how comfortable could a narrow body, 3x3 seating arrangement aircraft really is? So I thought I'd share my long haul 757 experience to Anchorage, Alaska only a week ago.
First off this is not a normal trip report, frankly I find most trip reports useless and boring. I could careless that you arrived at the airport at 6am with your mom and had an orange juice and egg sandwich for breakfast and that you decided to take a dump at 32,000 feet two hours into the flight, does nothing for me. Rather I like to read trip reports about the flight itself, how does the aircraft handle rough weather, air quality and cabin environment, interior condition (seats, carpet, lighting, bathrooms), IFE, food quality, passenger behavior, and cabin staff.
As some of you know I went to Alaska for 10 tens this August and flew American Airlines through DFW to ANC. The flight was scheduled to be 6 hours and 48 minutes it turned out the flight time was 7 hours and 21 minutes, one of the longer flights I've been on. Overall the flight was comfortable but mainly for one reason, no one was sitting in the aisle seat so we were able to spread out leaving the middle seat empty. If this wasn't the case I would have wished the plane had flown into a mountain.
American's 757's are some of the oldest in their fleet and to this day still have not had their interiors upgraded like AA's other birds. If someone knows a reason besides cost savings please let me know. It's almost a disgrace for an airline like American to showcase a plane like the 757 in their fleet. You walk in and the first thing you notice is how old the First Class section is. The leather is old and worn, the seat controls whether or not they worked had years of tarnish over them. Certainly not a first class section I'd want to sit in. The other thing you notice is how dark these planes are, it's a common fact that people are drawn to brightly lit areas and that brightly lit places make people feel better as well. Good portions of the ceiling lights were out along with the sidewall lights. I won't even go into the carpet but someone should tell American to go out and rent a Stanley Steamer, my god.
I'll say one thing for AA they're new seats probably are the best of all the U.S airlines, at least in my opinion. This is certainly not the fact on there 757s; these are by far the worst seats of any airline operating in the United States. The seats are hard, worn, have a gap between the seat cushion and the backrest that after about five hours really gives you a pain in the ass. My flight had a good number of seats that wouldn't recline because they were broken. If you can try to sit in the back of these planes you'll have more of a chance of having a free seat in your row giving you more room.
Being a business traveler you quickly learn how important air quality is when flying. For the most part any new aircraft does a very good job providing passengers clean air that's not going to dry you out and make you sick. We got on this plane and they had the heat blasting or perhaps they just turned on the A/C and it didn't have its two-hour warm up cycle before the cold air started to blow. This plane's air was dry and certainly not filtered properly. Here's a tip, next time you fly go out and by a product called Airborne, works great helping to cut down on getting a bug when you fly.
Probably the worst part of flying a 757 on a long haul route is the bathroom setup. Two bathrooms for coach just don't cut it. The minute we got above 10,000 feet a cattle rush of people lined up at the two hour wait mark to use the bathroom. This is fun to watch when the FA's take out the beverage cart. I recommend installing a plow like device on the beverage cart to shove these people out of the way, DON'T STARE AT THE CART MORONS, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. The bathrooms themselves well… lets just say I'd rather use a public bathroom in the slums of New Delhi. I did entertain myself trying to identify the years of tarnish and stains on the floor as I was contracting Ebola while relieving myself.
As for IFE, it's called an iPod, CD player or book. After eight episodes of Everyone Loves Raymond, I have to say not everyone loves Raymond anymore. Then after that AA played this movie that after watching it you know someone if their IFE dept in Dallas has a relative that owed their cousin who produces low budget documentaries a favor. Ebert and Roper would have given it the middle finger.
