The number of women diagnosed with breast cancer who undergo a double mastectomy is increasing. However, a new study questions the need for this procedure in most women. The study was published online on May 21 in the journal JAMA Surgery.
The study authors note that the increasing rate of a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (double mastectomy for cancer prevention) among women diagnosed as having breast cancer has raised concerns regarding the potential for overtreatment. However, to date, few large studies regarding the factors that affect a women's decisions for this procedure have been conducted. Therefore, they conducted a study to assess the factors associated with undergoing a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy among women with breast cancer.
The study group comprised 2,290 women who were newly diagnosed with breast cancer. The women were enrolled in the Detroit and Los Angeles Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries from June 1, 2005 through to February 1, 2007. Four years later (June 2009 through February 2010), the data was merged with Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry data (1,536 women). A statistical analysis was conducted to assess factors associated with type of surgery. The main variable factors included clinical indications for a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (genetic mutation (i.e., BRCA1 or BRCA2) and/or a strong family history), diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and the degree of worry expressed by the patient regarding breast cancer recurrence at the time of treatment decision making. The main outcome measurements were the type of surgery the patient underwent: contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, unilateral (single breast) mastectomy, or breast conservation surgery.
The investigators found that among the 1,447 women whose data was subjected to statistical analysis, 18.9% strongly a considered contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and 7.6% underwent one. Among the women who strongly considered a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, 32.2% underwent one, 45.8% underwent a unilateral mastectomy, and 22.8% underwent breast conservation surgery. The majority of women (68.9%) who underwent a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy had no significant genetic or familial risk factors for contralateral disease (cancer in the opposite breast). Statistical analysis found that undergoing a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (vs. either unilateral mastectomy or breast conservation surgery) was significantly associated with genetic testing, a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, undergoing an MRI, higher education, and greater worry about recurrence.
The authors concluded that many women considered a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and a substantial number of then underwent one; however, only a small proportion of these women had a clinically significant risk of contralateral breast cancer. Undergoing an MRI when the breast cancer diagnosis was made increased the odds of undergoing a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy. Worry about breast cancer recurrence appeared to promote a decision to undergo a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy; however, the procedure has not been shown to reduce recurrence risk. The researchers recommended that further research should be conducted regarding the underlying factors driving the use of a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.
The study authors are affiliated with the Ann Arbor Healthcare System (Ann Arbor, Michigan), University of Michigan Medical School (Ann Arbor, Michigan), University of Michigan School of Public Health (Ann Arbor, Michigan), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, New York), University of Southern California (USC; Los Angeles, California), and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (New Brunswick, New Jersey).
Take home message:
The decision to undergo a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy should only be made after a thorough discussion with one's physician. A contralateral prophylactic mastectomy decreases the risk of recurrence; however, it does not totally eliminate it because a small amount of breast tissue may remain after the procedure.The UCLA Breast Reconstructive Center offers full range of options to meet every patient's needs

I was pleased with everything Obama said about the American Jobs Act, except for the part about needing more new Free Trade agreements to stimulate our foriegn trade.

If Mr Smith wants to buy something from Mr Jones that Mr Jones wants to sell him. why should it matter if Mr Jones is next door? In the next street? In the next town? In the next State? In the next Country?
Liberals despite thier regular bleating about government getting in the way of consenting adults in the bedroom when it come to sodomy, will hypocratically call for government to get between two consenting adults who just want to make a mutually beneficial business transaction.
The argument for letting government get involved in choosing winners and losers in the economy is the same as advocating for sand to be poured into a well oiled machine.

Diabetes Drug: Triple the Side Effects
Avandia, its got some real-real serious side effects. Marilynn Marchione of the Associated Press reports:
In the month after a surprising analysis revealed possible heart risks from the blockbuster diabetes drug Avandia, reports of side effects to federal regulators tripled.Now, for a real way to treat—and even prevent diabetes—check out Don't Settle For Diabetes.
The sudden spike is a sign that doctors probably were unaware of the drug's possible role in their patients' heart problems and therefore may not have reported many such cases in the past, several experts said.
It also shows the flaws of the safety tracking system and suggests that a better one might have detected a potential problem before the drug had been on the market for eight years.
Avandia is used to control blood sugar, helping more than 6 million people worldwide manage Type 2 diabetes, the kind that is linked to obesity. These people already are at higher risk for heart attacks, so news that the drug might raise this risk by 43 percent was especially disturbing.

Pesticides, chemicals, insecticide, oh my! It's not surprising that so many of us spend more, even then we can't always afford it, on every item marked "organic" or "natural." But are you really spending your money wisely? To answer that question, the Environmental Working Group has ranked 53 foods by frequency and amount of pesticide contamination. They based those rankings on tests performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In addition, make sure to familiarize yourself with the meaning of the USDA Organic Certification label. Beware of labels such as "all natural," which fail to prove that they have certified as organic.
Based on their research, the following foods should be eaten only if they are organically grown (listed based on how much they are contaminated, from the most to the least):
- apples
- celery
- strawberries
- peaches
- spinach
- nectarines
- grapes
- bell peppers
- potatoes
- lettuce
- blueberries
- kale
You can save your money and time by buying these foods regardless of how they are grown, whether they're at the Farmer's Market, grocery store, or health food store. They also are ranked from the least contaminated:
- onions
- corn
- pineapple
- avocado
- asparagus
- sweet peas
- mangoes
- eggplant
- cantaloupe
- cabbage
- kiwi
- watermelon
Shopping with children offers you a great opportunity to introduce them to the meaning of "green living." Talk with them about the risks of pesticides, emphasizing the need to consider many different factors when you choose food to put into your body. By asking them to help you participate in shopping expeditions, they also will be more likely to try different foods.

"SumemrSlam" is now a thing of the past and the superstars of WWE are heading toward "Night of Champions" and a big rematch between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. There are many other things going on though, and a lot happened on the evening of Aug. 25, 2014, at WWE "Monday Night Raw."
If you have not yet seen the show or simply don't want to know the results, then stop reading now.
~ "Raw" kicks off with a Hall of Fame panel consisting of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels. They talk about Cena's rematch with Lesnar, and Hogan is really the only one that thinks Cena has a chance. Cena then comes out and cuts a somewhat intense promo saying he will beat Lesnar's a**.
This was pointless and nowhere near the real intensity that Cena has gotten in the past.
~ Rusev defeated Jack Swagger after the ref stopped the match. The ref stopped it when Rusev was destroying Swagger because the "Real American" could no longer defend himself. It make sense to build Rusev into a monster if that's what WWE is trying to do, but why at Swagger's expense?
~ Backstage, Swagger runs into Bo Dallas who tells him that he can come back if will just BO-lieve.
~ Cesaro defeated Rob Van Dam to become the number one contender to Sheamus' United States title. Sheamus was out there for commentary and Cesaro actually got distracted by him which allowed RVD to gain control for a while. The finish came when Cesaro started to dominate and hit the Neutralizer for the pin.
After the match, Cesaro grabbed the U.S. title and threw it at Sheamus.
~ Paige defeated Natalya in a short, but good divas match. Paige got the win with the Paige Turner, and that then brought AJ Lee out to the ring. Paige jumped back into the ring and Nattie hit her with the Hart Punch. This led AJ to grab a mic and go "Crazy AJ" and say said she loved Paige.
~ Kane came out to deliver the eulogy of Dean Ambrose, but he would rather celebrate Seth Rollins. kane said The Authority always wins and Rollins said it's possible they never see Ambrose again. Roman Reigns than came out once Rollins said he created and destroyed The Shield.
Reigns fought Kane and then tackled Rollins into the corner and whipped him into a podium. Reigns used the podium to hit Rollins and then goes for a Superman Punch, but Kane rescues him.
~ The Brothers Dust defeated the Usos by count-out. After the match, Goldust says the Usos should be "ashamed" by winning by count-out on purpose. Jimmy Uso says Jey was hurt and that was why the match ended the way it did. The Brothers Dust then attack the Usos outside the ring and destroy them en route to turning heel.
~ A match is made for Rollins and Reigns to take on Reigns later in the night.
~ A taped sit-down interview with Brock Lesnar aired and it was much more intense than Cena's live promo earlier.
~ The Miz comes out and says this since he's a Hollywood star, his stunt double will take his place against Dolph Ziggler. His stunt double happens to be Damien Miz-dow, and he played up copying The Miz perfectly, but still lost to the Zig Zag.
~ The Bellas come out to possibly reconcile, but they just ripped on each other. At the end, Nikkie attacked Brie. This went on way too long.
~ Roman Reigns defeated Seth Rollins and Kane by disqualification. This wasn't a bad match and Reigns hit a spear on Kane and went for the pin, but Rollins used his briefcase to break it up and cause the DQ.
Rollins and Kane start beating down Reigns and the duo reveal more cinder blocks at ringside. Reigns fought back and Rollins ended up running away while Kane got the Superman Punch to end it.
~ Los Matadores defeated Slater Gator in a dull match.
~ Bo Dallas defeated Kofi Kingston with the Bo-Dog in another kind of boring and short match. Jack Swagger comes out, but Dallas says both he and Kofi could learn by BO-lieveing. Swagger powerslams Dallas to end the segment.
~ The main event had John Cena start out beating down Bray Wyatt hard. Cena even was yelling at Wyatt to "stay down," but then he gave him three German suplexes and continued to beat him down. The Wyatt Family ended up interfering, but Big Show and Mark Henry came out to even the sides and set up a six-man tag match.
The Wyatts ended up getting control of the Biggest Tag Team in the World while keeping Cena on the apron. Super Cena then comes in and makes Harper tap to the STFU. He then destroys the Wyatts by himself.
Cena didn't look intense or dominant here. He looked pathetic and like he was trying to copy Lesnar with all the German suplexes. Why let the Wyatts be destroyed?

BeBe Winans Arrested:BeBe Winans Wife Assault
BeBe Winans Arrested:BeBe Winans Wife Assault – BeBe Winans Arrested for hitting his wife is creating a buzz on the internet this evening.BeBe Winans who is a very well known gospel singer got busted for assaulting his wife.According to the Smoking Gun:
Gospel singer BeBe Winans was booked yesterday on a domestic assault rap for allegedly pushing his ex-wife to the ground during an argument last month. According to a court filing, a copy of which you'll find below, Winans, 46, and his former spouse got into a "verbal altercation" on February 13 about "custody issues dealing with their children." At the time, Winans was at his ex-wife Debra's Nashville home, where he had driven to pick up his children. "The victim was telling the defendant of issues with the children when he became irate. The defendant then pushed the victim to the ground." Winans, pictured in the mug shot at right, was arrested yesterday on a misdemeanor domestic assault charge. He was briefly held at the Davidson County jail before posting $1000 bond. Winans, best known for albums recorded with his sister CeCe, has won four Grammy awards

thats jacked up!
Now, while all of yall haters are talking!!! BEBE is only human, he is not God!!! now tell me if someone got all in your face screaming and hollering you want push them away from you????? "think about that!!!" lol hahaha… yall crazy!!! this is life and things happen! AND ANYWAYS NO ONE IS A JUDGE!!! THERE IS NOT BUT ONE JUDGE,,, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT IS JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!! HATERZZZZ!!!!!! QUIT COMPLAINING AND TALKINK SO MUCH OVER NOTHING!!! MIND YOURZ!!!! AND I'M 19 AND KNOW ALL OF THIS!!! ; ) "SMILING"
it is not right, what expample are you giving to the non believers that christians beat each other, no you should ask god for deliverance
Okay, here we go again. Just like with the issue w/Juanita Bynum and her I guess now ex-husband. These people are human and they are not surpassed from having issues as do other people who are not in the "lime light" like they are. Just like Chris/Rhianna sometimes either the male/female can provoke and one thing leads to another. We have to keep these people in our prayers and thoughts because things do happen. Nobody was there except the people to whom it happened too and only they can resolve the issue along with the help of God. So don't point your fingers because when you do, you have three pointing back at you. Just like my mom used to say, Mind your own bees wax and you want have to worry about other people's.
This type of behavior is never acceptable. Couples should find other ways to resolve their conflicks. Men are generally physically stonger than women so they will win that battle all day long. Females(not women) have and will always find ways to get men upset. The very first female(EVE) got GOD upset with Adam for disobeying. So man must respond to conflicts more intellegently as God had made him to be.

So man must respond to conflicts more intellegently as God had made him to be. This world is really screwed us when people say,'oh he is human' or 'he need to check him woman' or even say "she started it and deserves a beat-down'.
Bebe Winans and his ex-wife will recover from this incident. God is talking to Bebe and letting Him know: dont get too far away from God with your voice. Your voice heals and the devil hates that. It will be alright for the both of them Too much prayer is going forth for THE BOTH OF THEM. God promises to make it alright. Everything is already alright. God Bless you BOTH.
While I quite agree that these individuals are human just like the rest of us, that does not excuse them of bad behavior. Some folk seem to have or hold celebrities to a different standard. If BeBe's wife or Rhianna were YOUR sister (or any relative) would you be as understanding and brush abuse against them off as casual as a few of you have expressed? Selah- that means think about it!
In BeBe Winans case, I hope that he has made private and public apologies as he does have celebrity in Christendom.
I grow weary of Christians defending other Christians bad behavior. Are we that weak willed that we need to follow the ways of the world?
Only Christ can change Bebe but only if Bebe wants to change. And please stop using the devil as an excuse. Non believers love to point out our hypocrisies when we fall. Christians need to own up to what they do and REPENT. Repentance means turning 180 degrees from your behavior and allowing the Holy Spirit to empower you to live righteously.
We need to pray for Bebe that he would allow the Lord to restore him completely and for his ex-wife that she will forgive him.
One major fact that judgmental Saints overlook is that the devil is the accuser of the Brethren. Isn't it amazing how we applaud people and speak well of them as long as they are being used mightily by God, but then when they prove that they still have a flesh and commit a sin and/or fall short of the glory of God, we murder them with our tongues as if God has never used them as vessels of honor? The more God uses you for His glory, the more subtle the attacks of the enemy become in order to discredit awesome, but yet human Christians of note. Let's commit to covering each other in prayer like the Word of God teaches and watch God perfect our shortcomings right before the devil's eyes!
This is a plea to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Please if you are having trouble in any area of your life, The Word says confess your faults (we have to expose the works of the devil as early as possible) — get the saints praying – I'm talking about fervent effectual prayer. We have to stop playing pity-pat with the devil. The devil is going to and fro seeking whom he may devour. He is after all of us – to stop the praise, to deny the power of God, to distract us from proclaiming the Word of God!!!! Come on saints — we are not ignorant of the devil devices. Let us Pray Without Ceasing, in Jesus Name!!! Amen!!! Please if we follow The Word in every aspect of our lives, God is Faithful and Just — we have Life More Abundantly in Jesus!!! In Jesus!!!
I am sorry to hear of this incident but keep the faith Bebe. God's grace is greater than all our sins. David commited adultery and murder and God forgave him. The same woman with which he commited the act became his wife with which he had the wisest son ever, king Salomon. Also the savior of the whole world came through the lineage of this once adulterer and murderer. It was after David messed up that he wrote some of his greatest songs and psalms because he truly repented. So i say Bebe your latter shall be greater than your former. God bless you and be strong.
Let's all be fair there is no reason for anyone to harm another, but Things happen that shuld'nt . Please don't judge we were'nt there. And as for being christian we are human to.
I believe that all people, not only men, not just women, have the responsibility of controlling their tongues, their tempers, and their tendency for violence. It is not just the man's responsibility to control himself because he is "stronger", nor is it solely the woman's responsibility to avoid conflict. Neither of these opinions is Biblical, no matter how many people believe these opinions. What is Biblical is that both parties show the respect and care that God would have us give each other in every arena. When people fall short of doing this, loving prayer and intercession on the behalf of all involved are called for, not criticism. And no, I would not want my female loved one abused through violence, nor my male loved one vilified because of a mistake he made. We are not to provoke or to initiate violence, but if we do, we are to admit our mistakes to God, own up to our responsibilities, and forgive the provokers/initiators—even if they are ourselves.
what is this world coming to? dont men know that they are not sappose to put their hands on a woman like that? Why do men do things like that? This is just unacceptable and people need to check themselves and think about things before the do them because it might get them into a lot of trouble with the law, and with God.
Once again "think it not strange." While this is an unfortunate incident in the Body of Christ, our affections must be set on praying for and restoring our brother Bebe, the children, his ex-wife and all involved, in the "spirit of meekness, considering ourselves… While believers have a responsibility to guard our hearts and maintain our spiritual armour, the fact remains we are not "supermen" or wonderwomen." We are sojourners. We are reminded of this a throughout the scriptures. We are all susceptible to the sinful, as well as the, sinless limitations of the flesh. The difference between the believer and the non-believer is the acceptance of the great hope of everlasting life…and knowing that if, by chance, we should fall, we can rise without condemnation. YES, the consequences of impulsivity and all sin remain (believer or not). May God strengthen and restore Bebe, the immediate and extended family and all involved.
I have posted this at a couple places because I'm still not certain that it happened the way that it has been described. I wonder if it all got blown out of proportion? Course, I wasn't there. But I've been listening to BeBe and CeCe sing since I was a child (now 33) and he has never been accused of anything like this. Usually those kinds of things have a history of occurrences. Also, I do have a son and I do tell him not to hit women. But I wonder when he's older and perhaps in a heated argument/situation/child custody battle, if the woman is in his space and being somewhat threatening (which is what I gather could have happened here and I don't see many taking that into consideration), what would some Christian parents advise their sons to do? Trying to maneuver a woman out of your space so that you can get on with your day/life, if you're a male-without punching, kicking, biting, etc, how is that accomplished (especially when someone is threatening you in the court system and probably mouthing off in front of your children as well? Which is to say, I don't know that he "became irate", as she says, for no reason at all. ) Before my husband and I reconciled, he sometimes tried to provoke me to act out of character too. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't -and yes, I'm saved-not perfect. Something tells me that may have happened here. He could have been trying to get on with his day with his kids and get her out his way (and out of earshot of his kids) without kicking her tail (although probably very tempted to do so) and it got made into him being an abusive ex-husband now and plants the seed that he was probably that way all the time. I doubt if he had truly been an abusive husband that she would even be allowing him around the kids at all or even have went to the car in the first place.
come on now u guys, a push this is all over a push…she shouldve gotten up and whooped his a$s!..but i guess, and plus it doent matter nowadays how religious u are…everybody does bad everyday and sometimes…christian or not, i mean he shouldve kept his hands to himself but a push..i mean he didnt beat her, blacken her eyes..busted her lips and knocked out some teeth…they taken it too far…ok so, and get over it…things foks be complainin about be triv..
Let us not be so judgemental, when we were in our sins, Christ died for the ungodly. Just remember BeBe in your prayers. He is not perfect and neither are we.
Hold both BeBe and his wife up in prayer, pray in the spirit for their healing and for their forgiveness,because if ther is a repentant heart and it has been put before God it is done with.
Now, I don't believe in violence but at some point in our lives we are provoked into hitting someone or using verbal abuse. Saying wrongful things out of anger. BeBe was pushed to that point. When will we stop thinking ministers or strong believers and followers cannot do wrongful things? They are are human too.
My personal experience involving my divorce and my children wasn't a pretty sight either so I understand the situation between BeBe and his ex-wife.
BeBe keep praising and uplifting his name. God bless and I'm sure you will pray for forgiveness plus ask God to strengthen you.
Love always,
All I can say regarding the incident is that we aren`t perfect and we all make mistakes just because someone is famous doesn`t mean we won`t make mistakes in life. No matter what we do in life God will forgive us , so don`t allow the media and others to direct you to think so if some people walk in perfection.
who are we to judge?!
Wow…I knew nothing at all about his until today…Nov 5th 2009! Sorry to hear
this for BeBe, the wife, and the kids. Truth is…there is a lot more behind this
than any of us know..it always is. Most of us think we are right in our own eyes so I understand why everyone is so passionate about what "they think" and the comments they have made. Well….hmmmm?? What does the Word of God have to say about this? Now, this ain't for non-believers so hold the phone for just a moment…The Bible says, "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it"… He loves us unconditionally and forgives us everyday if we ask. Had he responded the God kind of way, this would never have happened. When we operate in with our own thoughts and our way of thinking, we will always react outside of love and ultimately hurt people. Was he wrong for pushing her? Yes. I'm sure what ever lead him to this point was also wrong…yelling, screaming, pushing, shoving are all acts of anger and an attempt to control someone. Who yelled? Who screamed? Who pushed? I have a feeling a lot of that was going on before the final blow came and the police were called…. Anyway, I'm sad to hear it and hope that they both
and especially the children will get through this and recover and perhaps help someone else not go there…
There ia a difference between domestic violence and keeping someone away from you who is out of control. While no one who was not there can give any insight. I tend to believe since the report states that she was pused to the ground, that he was probably trying to get her out of his face. Now don't get me wrong I do not stand for domestic violence against anyone be it man or woman. However, let's remember innocent until proven guilty. No pics or at least none that evidently were worth showing tend to say that there were no physical injuries to actually prove abuse, maybe there are but this remains to be seen. I hate that people, whether out of envy, anger, spite or just plain cruelty, take an argument and say it was more, it diminshes the true cases that need to be addressed and taken seriously. Not saying that this is one. But it seems sort of suspect to me. I do hope that all parties involved get the needed assistance they need for the sake of their spiritual and mental health and what is best for the children involved.
things happen! bebe just kept his ex-ol' lady from making the insident worst. she already gettin all his money, what else do she want from him?
come on folks, he's only a human. we all get angry at times and do all sort of things. do you remember the last time you got sooooo angry and did something you wish you've never done? there you go you're also human . Please pardon him

Her name is Lily Forte.
She's a 12-year-old vocalist from Ocean Ridge. And she's also a contestant on America's Got Talent.
"I just love singing, it takes you to another place, I put so much emotion into it so whatever is going on in your life you just forget about it with music," said Forte.
Forte is one of 74 contestants who made it to judgment week. Beating out thousands from across the country.
"Before I auditioned I was so nervous but when I went out there I realized it was what I like to do, I was so comfortable, it was incredible," said Forte.
Forte auditioned for the show in New York in February. And one month later she was flown to California.
"I thought I was being pranked when the phone call came in, I was like oh no your kidding, but it was really them," said Heidi Forte.
Forte is multi-talented. She can sing, and also plays the piano and guitar. Tonight viewers will see if she makes it to the live rounds.
But even if she doesn't make it, she knows that this experience will motivate her to continue her singing career.
"I'll always have that memory, and it was incredible being there, it's something I will never forget," said Forte.

Continuing on with the Ritter Sport reviews, today we have the Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate with Strawberry Creme bar. It's very attractive with it's bright pink wrapper, which stands out on the shelf very well, even amongst the other Ritter Sport bars which use darker color schemes. Also, this bar supported the Breast Cancer Awareness for October (yes I'm a bit late on this), so the pink works for it on a second level too.
Enough about appearances though, you can't judge candy properly that way. Chocolate must be tasted!
Snapping open the wrapper (yes Ritter Bars do that) you see the milk chocolate with it's nice creamy brown color and the strawberry creme interior is a pretty pink with dark red strawberry bits in it. It's an attractive looking chocolate bar. It smells sweet and lightly of strawberry jam.
The flavor is exactly like strawberry ice cream. I don't taste any of the milk chocolate at all! The flavor starts out sweet then crescendos into this very milky strawberry flavor. Then you taste the bits of strawberry which deliver a intense burst of strawberry flavors. It's incredible, I feel like I'm eating a spoon full of Breyers strawberry ice cream.
What can I say, this was really tasty. If you're a fan of strawberries, this is something you should try.

Win against Temple would boost Minutemen for home tourney game
AMHERST -- A strong performance tonight by the University of Massachusetts men's basketball team could go a long way toward extending the Minutemen's season at the Mullins Center.
UMass hosts Temple at 7 on senior night. Anthony Gurley, Gary Correia and Hashim "Big City" Bailey will all be honored prior to what is scheduled to be their final career home game. UMass has won seven straight games on senior night. Stretching that streak to eight could help it get back to their home court in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament, which begins Tuesday.
At 7-7 in the conference, the Minutemen (15-12 overall) still could finish fourth with two wins and help. If Duquesne, George Washington, Rhode Island, UMass and St. Bonaventure all finish 9-7, the Minutemen would earn the tiebreaker and the first-round bye. Since they're about as likely to get hit by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket than see that exact situation play out, UMass is more realistically battling for one of the tournament's first-round home games, which go to the teams that finish fifth through eighth.
The Minutemen are tied for seventh with Dayton and St. Bonaventure, a game back of George Washington (8-6). Because UMass beat both the Flyers and Bonnies this season, the Minutemen would get the higher seed if they finish tied. If UMass wins one of its last two games and either Dayton or SBU loses a game, the Minutemen will get a home game in the first round.
The Flyers host Saint Louis tonight and are at George Washington Saturday. The Bonnies are at Duquesne tonight and host Rhode Island Saturday.
After Sunday's loss to La Salle, Gurley said the Minutemen are trying to regroup.
"We're putting that behind us and looking forward to (tonight's) game," he said. "It's going to be a big-time game for us if we play the way we're capable of playing. ... It would be nice to end the season on a good note."
Coach Derek Kellogg said the magnitude of the game lessened the emphasis on senior day, but saluted his three soon-to-be graduates.
"They've done a nice job of bringing stability back into the program," Kellogg said. "They've helped put the program back on solid footing. It was good to have some older guys in the program that have been through the wars."
Correia was sad to think about his career winding down.
"It's been a long journey. It's had its ups and downs," he said. "I'm sad to see it end. For us as a team, the season's not over. There's a lot we can do. We have to take it one game at a time from here on out."
Winning tonight figures to be particularly challenging. The Owls (22-6, 12-2 Atlantic 10) are considered a lock for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. They've won nine straight league games and have already sewn up a bye in the first round of the A-10 Tournament. They were ranked last week but fell out after losing at No. 1 Duke.
The Owls are banged up headed to the finish line. They've lost starting junior big man Michael Eric for the season with a broken leg, and junior wing Scootie Randall for at least the end of the regular season with a foot injury. Randall was the Owls' No. 2 scorer at 11.6 points per game to go with 5.1 rebounds. Eric, a 6-foot-11, 240-pound widebody, provided an interior presence with size few teams could match. He averaged 7.1 points and 5.9 rebounds before the injury.
Temple coach Fran Dunphy hopes to get Randall back in the mix.
"We're monitoring (Randall) every single day to see if he can start to jog," he said. "We're handling it OK. It's not easy to play at this level with the minimal up-front guys, but that's the way it is and we have to mix and match a little bit and sometimes play four guards a little bit."
Even without them, the Owls aren't lacking weapons. Junior guard Ramone Moore is 10th in the league in scoring at 15.0 ppg. Senior big man Lavoy Allen is a handful inside, averaging 11.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, while junior Juan Fernandez (10.0 ppg) is close to full strength after an early injury.
Temple has maintained its strength defensively, giving up a league-low 60.9 points per game.
"They're a very, very good team," Kellogg said. "It's a big game, we've got a team coming in that's been the benchmark in this conference for many, many years."
NO CBS 3 NOW - The game was originally scheduled to be on CBS 3 Now, the extra digital station connected with the Springfield CBS affiliate. But the athletic department thought that the games being televised were hurting the home attendance, so the game was taken off the air.
AMHERST - Senior Night for theUniversity of Massachusetts men's basketball team will be a business meeting, not a celebration.
UMass basketball team's priority on Senior Night is Temple, not sentiment
Published: Tuesday, March 01, 2011, 9:43 PM Updated: Tuesday, March 01, 2011, 10:54 PM
"Everybody respects what our seniors have done, but our main goal is to play well against a team that is playing very good basketball,'' UMass coach Derek Kellogg said about Wednesday night's game against Temple at the Mullins Center.
"We're on a mission. Temple is on a mission. Different missions.''
Once a fight for squatter's rights atop the Atlantic 10 Conference mountain, and for a larger share of the national spotlight, the matchup is now about best-case scenarios for UMass (15-12, 7-7 Atlantic 10).
The Minutemen could finish as high as sixth in the A-10. Temple (22-6, 12-2) has loftier goals.
The Owls trail only Xavier (13-1 Atlantic 10) in the conference race. They look to be headed back to the NCAA tournament
As usual, they are doing it with defense. The Owls are allowing 60.9 points a game, lowest in the conference.
"Temple plays a style that's hard to get them out of,'' Kellogg said.
""Our goal is to get to where we are playing well, though, to be ready for the postseason. That's still possible.''
Sunday's 72-51 loss at La Salle kept the Minutemen in a three-way tie for seventh place in the A-10.
Two of those three teams will likely finish in the league's top eight, earning home games for the first round of the A-10 tournament on March 8.
UMass has beaten Dayton and St. Bonaventure, the other two 7-7 teams. The Minutemen hold tiebreaker advantages, but nothing is guaranteed yet.
UMass is trying to reclaim its modest momentum that was flattened Sunday, when La Salle handed the Minutemen their 12th loss in their last 20 games.
Seven times in their last 18, they have lost by more than 15 points. Now they face the league's top defensive team, whose eight-game winning streak was snapped at Duke last week.
Temple bounced back for a 57-41 win over George Washington Saturday. Ranked No. 24 in The Associated Press poll last week, the Owls fell out of the Top 25 this week as a result of losing to Duke.
They rank third in A-10 field-goal defense, a category where UMass has quietly risen to first.
The Minutemen rank near the bottom in offensive shooting percentage, though, and last in 3-point shooting. Unless UMass can find ways to penetrate the Temple defensive interior, or discover a 3-point touch it has lacked all season, it could be a long, low-scoring night.
Seniors Anthony Gurley, Gary Correia and Hashim Bailey will play their final regular-season home game. An A-10 first-round game at Mullins is possible next week.
Gurley and Correia are starters. Bailey normally comes off the bench, but he will get a Senior Night start as well.
Only Correia has played all four years at UMass. Fellow guard Gurley transferred from Wake Forest after his freshman year.
Bailey, a 6-foot-10 center, spent two years at Memphis, where Kellogg was John Calipari's assistant.
Gurley's climb up the all-time UMass scoring charts has stalled down the stretch, as opponents have concentrated on stopping him. He scored a season-low four points Sunday on 1-for-9 shooting at La Salle.
That left Gurley with 1,266 points as a UMass player. He ranks 17th all-time, and could pass Bill Tindall (1,277) with 12 points Wednesday.

Shiozawa-tsumugi and Hon-Shiozawa are high quality silks produced in the Shiozawa region of Niigata Prefecture, where traditional weaving techniques are still used. Shiozawa-tsumugi and Hon-Shiozawa have been designated traditional crafts by the Japanese government. Shiozawa-tsumugi is based on kinu chijimi (silk crepe) which utilizes a technique employed for hemp textiles such as Echigo-chijimi. Hon-Shiozawa is given a distinctive silky finish using hatcho twisted yarn, for which yarns are twisted seven to eight times more tightly than normal yarn. The fabric is then used for making kimono.

KATIE KLOTH, of Stevens Point, Wis., appears in Iron County Court Monday with her attorney, John Bachman.
HURLEY — A $5,000 signature bond was set in Iron County Court Monday for a 26-year-old Stevens Point woman who faces charges related to a heated confrontation at the site of a proposed iron mine.
Katie Kloth, 26, is charged with felony robbery and three misdemeanors related to a June 11 disturbance with Gogebic-Taconite employees at the site of mine drilling in the town of Anderson, near Upson.
Kloth, wearing a "Save the Penokees" shirt, appeared with her attorney, John Bachman, of Eau Claire.
The criminal complaint filed by Iron County District Attorney Marty Lipske alleges Kloth, identified by other protesters as "Krow," used force to grab and destroy a camera, wrestling it away from a G-Tac employee.
As Kloth was pulling at the camera from the female employee, a man with blue hair came from behind and grabbed a phone out of the employee's back pocket, according to the complaint.
There was a group of 15 to 20 protesters that day, with their faces partially covered by bandanas. They first began throwing soda cans and shouting obscenities at G-Tac employees when their backs were turned.
The complaint says protesters then climbed onto drilling equipment at the site and began throwing around shovels and other items.
Some equipment belonging to the Idea Drilling company was also damaged. After the incident, the first day of drilling was delayed until the next morning.
Kloth is also charged with being a party to the crime of theft, criminal damage to property and being a party to criminal damage to property.
Total damages at the site were estimated at $2,400.
Acting Judge Sam Filippo set the bond recommended by Lipske under conditions that Kloth have no contact with the victim, nor threatening behavior to G-Tac or Idea Drilling employees.
Kloth waived her right to a preliminary examination within 20 days and a future court date will be set.
Filippo noted no arrest warrant had been served, but he found there was probable cause for the arrest.
Kloth was fingerprinted and booked at the Iron County Jail after the hearing.
About 20 people attended the Monday afternoon court hearing, with about a half-dozen law enforcement officers present.

Bob & Wilson's
Fort Lauderdale's Bob & Wilson's is a tiny deli with a big hit
Bob Workman and Wilson Devia worked together for about 10 years at Offerdahl's in downtown Fort Lauderdale - Bob as the manager, Wilson the catering manager - before deciding to start their own business. Six months ago, the personable duo opened a deli aptly called Bob & Wilson's, a tiny spot that's already a big hit in the City Park Mall, a plaza under the Fort Lauderdale parking garage (across from the Main Library).
The place caters to the downtown work crowd, serving breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. Much of its business is takeout, but there are a few tables indoors plus better spots under shady umbrellas on the plaza. Everything's under $10, and you can order online as well as by phone or at the counter. Insiders come for the delicious, house-made soups; hot specials like roasted chicken, meatloaf and arroz con pollo; personal-size quiches; fat sandwiches; salads and Bob's cakes, including "the best cheesecake in Florida."
Quiches - ham and Swiss, spinach and feta or broccoli and Cheddar - are rich, creamy and just the right size for a light lunch paired with a salad. A half sandwich and a cup of soup is another lighter-side option. Soups change daily, but we especially like the summery tomato.
Sandwiches include classic Cuban, B.L.T. and our favorite, the hot corned beef or pastrami on rye - not mile-high but a generous stack, served with chips, cole slaw or potato salad and a deli pickle. The quarter chicken in our hot entree was moist, flavorful and well-seasoned, served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Grab a slice of Bob's homemade blueberry or pound cake or, for a splurge, strawberry-topped cheesecake. Friends say they've never been disappointed by anything they've ordered at Bob & Wilson's, and after several stops, I'd have to agree.

US wind energy investments grew by 76% to $25bn in 2012, compared to $14.2bn in 2011, according to a new report published by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
US wind energy investments grew by 76% to $25bn in 2012, compared to $14.2bn in 2011, according to a new report published by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
Wind projects accounted for 42% of all electric generating capacity in 2012, with more than 6,700 new wind turbines installed, bringing the country's total installation to about 45,100 turbines, enough to power 15.2 million homes.
And they still provide a miniscule percentage of the total electricity generated.
15.2 million homes is not a minuscule percentage of homes . . but the figure needs verification because for 45,100 turbines to power that many homes it is 337 homes per turbine. That seems a lot, even when the wind is blowing at the correct speed.

Seems you caught your own faux pas. Power=/= energy. They have wonderful power ratings but poor energy generation and gawd-awful reliability.
The best single indicator for a power system's worth is something called "capacity credit" (not capacity FACTOR, a wind industry ploy). It is basically how much of a current system's generation capacity a rational SysOp would replace with the new capacity. For wind it is usually in the 1% range. A gigawatt of dispersed wind power capacity may displace the need for 10 megawatts of coal plant but only if it is widely dispersed and well sited..
One report says Wind energy installations surge in 2012, Now this report says ... the global wind power market will drop in 2013. I think compared to the Nuclear power ... other renewable power will see ups and down ..
It should also be noted that at least in the Unites States, a lot of the 2012 capacity was pushed HARD to be completed in 2012 in case the subsidies were axed by budget sequestration. Again, proof that it is a subsidy harvesting industry, not an energy harvesting one.
Obviously the market left to itself goes for the least expensive alternative, and with a glut of dirty carbon fuels the choice is obvious at the present time.
I'd love to see what the market left to itself would do, but we haven't seen an open market wrt unreliables... ever. There are direct subsidies, mandatory purchase requirement, etc. that spread the cost among the taxpayers and via inefficiencies in grid operations onto the ratepayers of not only their own country but neighbors too.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the Norwegians finally twig to the fact that running hydro-power in surges does nasty things to fish and other wildlife. It is not so bad if the turbines exit into a lower reservoir rather than a river.
OK well the Norwegians probably don't need any lessons about conservation and the proper use of hydro power, but why the hostility to hydro as well as wind, both of which avoid the major threat to the environment, CO2? . Fish and other wildlife are under threat from that as well, via acid oceans, if we are concerned about wildlife.

Financial Accounting Services
Part 5. Sales of Goods and Services - Table of Contents
A. Introduction
Accounts receivable at The University of Texas at Austin are generated from several programs and activities, including student tuition and fees, housing and food service fees, parking fees, library fees, student loan programs, returned check fees, contracts, services, and property rentals.
Departments that provide services manage their receivables through the Centralized Receivables system or through a separate departmental system.
- Centralized Receivables System
The Centralized Receivables system (RMM *DEFINE commands) allows the creation of bills, posting of income at the time bills are created, and the acceptance of payments. The system generates entries that allow billing and payment activity to post automatically to the appropriate accounts in *DEFINE. Outstanding bills owed may be viewed and paid on the What I Owe website under UT Direct. Centralized Receivables is used by central processing offices and university departments to bill for the following types of receivables:
- student tuition, fees, loans, housing, and penalties
- retiree health insurance
- departmental bills
- TXShop
- other sales and services
- Sponsored Projects Award Administration (SPAA) Billing System
SPAA, in the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP), creates invoices for research projects based on the funding methodology specified in the award documentation. The SPAA billing system is used to monitor project billing. Dunning letters are generated by the billing system when the receivable is identified as 90 days old. If a sponsor is delinquent on payments for three months, Sponsored Receivables, in the Office of Accounting, contacts the sponsor to arrange payment. If payment is still not received, then within the six-month aging period, Sponsored Receivables notifies the appropriate specialist in SPAA to help resolve the payment issue. The SPAA specialist works to arrange payment and elevates the issue as needed.
In addition, SPAA provides weekly receivable reports to OSP management in order to monitor the status of receivables and financial position related to Sponsored Projects. This report includes weekly status updates on items over 12 months of age and lists invoices that reach 10 months of age. If the payment issue cannot be resolved, SPAA notifies The University of Texas System Office of General Counsel, and legal action is considered. For more information, see the Handbook of Business Procedures, Part 17. Office of Sponsored Projects/Sponsored Projects Award Administration.
- Other Receivable Systems
Other Receivable Systems are used by departments that do not use the Centralized Receivables system. The departments bill their internal and external customers and monitor collections. Revenue is posted as it is collected, but receivables are not posted to *DEFINE until fiscal year-end.
B. Collections
Accounts receivable that are not recovered with initial billing are subject to more extensive collection efforts, which may include letters or e-mails, restrictions on student services by implementing financial bars, reporting to a credit bureau, and/or referrals to a collection agency.
- Collection Agency
- Student loans are referred to a collection agency at a certain point past the payment due date, depending on the type of loan—three months past due for institutional loans and six months past due for federal loans.
- Past due bills from the Division of Housing and Food Service (DHFS) are referred to a collection agency 90 days after the date of check out.
- Past due citations from Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) that are a minimum of 42 days old are sent to the first collection agency for 91 days. If payment is not collected after 91 days, the citations are returned to PTS and are then sent to a second collection agency for up to 24 months.
- Credit Bureaus
- Loans
Long-term institutional loans, tuition loans, and all federal loans are reported to national credit bureaus from the date the loans are made. Short-term institutional loans are reported to credit bureaus if they are sent to a collection agency.
- Tuition
Past due tuition installments are reported to credit bureaus three months after the end of the semester in which the past due balance was incurred.
- Loans
C. Bad Debt Write-Offs
- Write-Offs of Student Receivables
- Institutional loans are written off to the loan fund when they become 10 years past due. A miscellaneous receivable bill is put in the system for the balance owed on the loan at the time it is written off, so that the amount remains a financial bar.
- Federal Perkins loans cannot be written off by the university. After litigation and upon recommendation of The University of Texas System's Office of General Counsel, these loans may be assigned back to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). No bar remains on the university's accounting system; however, the individual whose federal loan is returned to DOE is then ineligible for future federal financial aid.
- Centralized Receivable bills that are posted to income are written off for accounting purposes when they are two years past due, and the student's account remains barred.
- Write-Offs of Sponsored Projects Award Administration (SPAA) Receivables
A determination is made by SPAA management as to whether or not a sponsored project should be written-off. If SPAA management deems that a sponsored project should be written-off, an analysis and supporting documentation will be kept on file to substantiate the write-off.
- Documentation used to assist in making a write-off decision consists of e-mail, letters, and accounting system documents.
- An Excel spreadsheet is maintained throughout the fiscal year summarizing the amount of the write-off, the budget group, the sponsor name, and the reason for the write-off.
- At the end of the fiscal year, the Excel spreadsheet is sent for final approval of the amount to be written-off.
- Once approval is received, an accounting entry is created to transfer the amount to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

I always brine my bird, once you do that you will not do without.
Printable View
I always brine my bird, once you do that you will not do without.
I do 100% of the cooking here. My husband doesn't even know how to turn the oven on. Although, in his defense, he leaves for work at 7 am and gets home around 7 pm so it's not as if he just sits around doing nothing watching me cook.
I've never brined a turkey, I wouldn't even know how. Does it make it tender or what?
I always make a very traditional Thanksgiving dinner...trukey, stuffing, mashed potatos with gravy, rolls, sweet potato casserole and of course green bean casserole with crunchy onions! Pumpkin pie and Apple pie for dessert although this year I'm going to make "Nantucket Cranberry Pie" again because they all loved it last year.
I was the cook in the family when we got married, but I was gradually eased out of the kitchen. Now, after 38 years, I'm simply the turkey carver...works for me.
AllRecipes.com. Some folks swear by it for helping to keep the bird juicy, as well as to provide a great gravy base.
I got finished brining my bird this morning. It's currently in the refrigerator and will be there until tomorrow to let the brine work its magic. Then it's onto the smoker with some apple wood for 8-9hrs. Here's how it turned out last year. Attachment 64642
Jean, after brining turkey, I won't do make a turkey again without brining it.Ok, beautiful bird. And now time to start the day before cooking.:smile:
We dont usually do the traditional turkey and mershed perterders. My wife says it reminds her of all her family drama on turkey day. Shrimp tacos, pot roast, even burgers.
We are thankful for what we have, not just turkey.
I cook breakfast, my wife cooks everything else. I use to think that I was a decent cook until I married her.
I do a lot of the cooking normally, but I am happy to say that the relatives will be doing all of it for tomorrow's dinner. Never brined a turkey, but they do get nice and moist when you do it that way.
Mine's going into the brine in a few minutes and will spend the next 20 or so hours chillin out before it goes in the oven..
Simple mix:
1 cup of salt
some peppercorns
some allspice berries
1/2 cup of brown sugar
A gallon of good chicken or veggie stock
Boil it up and when it's cold plunk the bird in the pot and add enough water to cover.
Keep in the fridge (or for me the garage at this time of year) overnight and you're good to go.:smile:
I will be injecting mine with two different marinades: a rasberry chipolte and a garlic herb with butter. I am also doing a dry rub of creole, blk pepper, thyme, oregano, and garlic powder. Then dropping her in the turkey fryer outside and safely of course.
Just my husband and me this year, so no turkey. Going with an apple and rosemary stuffed pork tenderloin. Faster to prepare and we won't be eating turkey until Christmas. Accompanied by Cheddar-garlic mashers, green bean feta salad, and pepper Parmesan rolls. Did I mention we really like cheese?
Wow, just made myself really hungry.

School of Nursing Strategic Plan
3. Expanded Partnerships and Collaborations
Weber State University and the School of Nursing have strong records of collaborations and/or partnerships which have enhanced program goals and ensured quality nursing care to individuals and communities. Such partnerships provide opportunities for working nurses to advance levels of education through programs of study which are recognized by receiving accreditation. Partnerships provide growth opportunities for nurses and nursing in rural and metropolitan areas; without collaboration and partnering, nursing vacancies are often difficult to fill, thus, individuals with health problems suffer.
Currently in the process of development are the following initiatives:
- Expansion of partnerships to deliver nursing education to communities in need
- Development of partnerships which enrich faculty knowledge of consumer diversity and global health disparities
- Promotion of partnerships which provide unique learning opportunities for nursing students, especially with community health issues
- Collaboration with Technical Centers and Community Colleges thereby enabling the advancement of educational opportunities for nursing student which increases the number of registered nurses
- Establishment of partnerships which provide both service and educational opportunities
- Designing of nursing education research which may be focused on evidenced based nursing education; and the design of models for delivery of nursing education
Future GoalsEstablishment of a global partnership which stimulates intellectual curiosity, expands student and faculty knowledge base regarding world health issues, including nursing, and most importantly motivates students/nurses to serve patients and populations whose life circumstances have positioned them to be unable to afford the most basic health care.

FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Qbala intertwined her recital with the other musical acts at Hodi's Half Note, on June 1. She was the master of ceremonies. She was also the opening act along with Hench, Syntax, Mad Scientists and Kind Dub. Psalm One was the direct support and Louis Logic was the headliner. Qbala was accompanied by disc jockey, Dominic Deadbeat.
Before Qbala greeted the crowd, Hench remained on stage. She accompanied him for his final song, "Watching It Burn". Dominic Deadbeat provided the beats, as they shared vocal duties. Hench performed the first verse. As she sang the chorus, a member of the audience sang along with her. Afterwards, she provided lyrics for the second verse. After the both of them sang the chorus to end the song, Hench parted the stage and Qbala asked everyone to go online and invite everyone they knew to the show.
After Qbala said she was going to perform a few songs throughout the evening, she stated she would perform "Deadbeat" and bring Syntax to the stage. She asked everyone to acknowledge the northern Colo. Hip-Hop scene and all of the "innards" it had to offer. She would later refer to Colo. as "The Box State". Towards the end of the song—Dominic Deadbeat continued to scratch his records. Qbala went onto repeat the song's title and continued to do, as the song came to an end.
Shortly after Syntax ended their set, Qbala returned to the stage. She recognized Mad Scientists' Furbie Cakes, as he was preparing on stage. She requested the audience to make noise and thanked the venue for hosting the event. Dominic Deadbeat played the next track and she performed "Get Down". After the performance, she brought Mad Scientists up to the stage. She thanked them for finding places for her to perform in Denver and she wanted to return the favor, with her show.
"Ooh Boy" brought an end to Qbala concert. Before she closed out her performance, she complimented the musicians from the Midwest. She stated how polite they were and if they were any more polite, they would be Canadian. She reminded everyone to use their social networking profiles and invite everyone they knew to the show. Then, she advised everyone to leave their 9-to-5 jobs and learn to live life, before ending her showcase.
"Jankee", "Spider Web" and "Repeat Offense" were also part of Qbala's set.

Bartz Named MCC Women's Basketball Player Of The Week
Feb. 28, 2000
Chicago, Ill. - University of Illinois at Chicago's Amanda Bartz was named Midwestern Collegiate Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week it was announced earlier today.
This is the second straight week a UIC player has earned the honor as freshman Jaysie Chambers was selected last Monday, Feb. 21.
Bartz helped the Flames extend their winning streak to five games last week, averaging 15.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest in home victories over the top two teams in the MCC.
She highlighted her performance by knocking down a career-best six three-pointers in UIC's 63-45 win over UW-Milwaukee on Saturday, Feb. 26. The junior was 6-for-12 from behind the arc and tied her career-high with 21 points. She also snagged five rebounds and recorded a pair of blocked shots in the contest.
Bartz also scored in double figures in the Flames' 54-53 upset of league-leading UW-Green Bay on Thursday, Feb. 24, chipping in 10 points.
The Iowa State transfer is averaging 10.4 ppg and 5.1 rpg for the surging Flames this season. She is second in the MCC in three-point field goals made per game (2.56) and sixth in three-point field goal percentage (.381).
The Flames (12-14, 7-6 MCC), who went 6-1 in the month of February, have on regular-season contest remaining on the slate as they travel to meet city rival Loyola (3-21, 1-12 MCC) on Saturday, March 4, at 3:00 p.m.

Two key factors are Dunedin's relatively cheap housing market
and the consistently strong student demand, which deliver
some of the best gross yields around the country, Westpac
general manager, retail bank, Ian Blair said yesterday.
''As property investors come back into the market, the report
underlines the need for them to know what they want to
achieve and how they want to do it,'' Mr Blair said.
Gross rental yields are the rent paid, before deductions of
tax and depreciation, rates and insurance, maintenance or
repairs, are taken into account.
The report identifies the best suburbs for gross yield and
capital gains, in seven centres across the country, looking
at two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses.
Mr Blair said, for three-bedroom houses, Forbury, in Dunedin,
topped the country with an 8.3% gross yield and South Dunedin
was second on 8.2%. St Kilda, Calton Hill, Northeast Valley
and Brockville also made the top 10 for gross yield, but
capital gain in Dunedin was not so strong, where Auckland and
Christchurch dominated.
Aside from Brockville featuring well for gross yield at 6.9%,
its value as a suburb for rental property investment had
Dunedin's best capital gain at 4.3%, 1% ahead of Maori Hill
and Northeast Valley.
Between the seven centres - Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch,
Hamilton, Wellington, Tauranga, and Palmerston North - the
range of top gross yields for three-bedroom houses was 6.8%
to 8.3%. Mr Blair said investing for yield and capital gain
required two different strategies. Investors had to
understand capital gain could be a shorter-term prospect,
while rental yield was more commonly long term.
Auckland dominated capital gain returns, these ranging
between 14.4% to almost 19% in the top bracket, while the
rest of the country had far lower capital gain; the highest
being Wellington on 4.9%, Hamilton 4.8% and Dunedin 4.3%
