Talks between North and South Korea about reopening their jointly-run industrial zone collapsed Thursday, with both sides failing to set a date for another meeting.
The two sides blamed each other for what the North called a "virtual breakdown" of the talks aimed at reviving the Seoul-funded Kaesong industrial estate in the North.
"It is very regrettable that the North has declared the talks had in effect collapsed," said Kim Hyung-Suk, spokesman for the South's Unification Ministry.
"Judging from the results of today's talks, the government finds the fate of the Kaesong zone is in serious danger," he said.
Earlier the North's chief delegate Pak Chol-Su warned that the North may turn the estate into a military base if the talks collapsed.
"If the fate of Kaesong industrial zone ends like this, the military would reclaim it," he said.
North Korea had relocated its military facilities in order to make room for the zone, which opened in 2004.
Officials from both sides had previously met five times this month but failed to narrow differences on rescuing the last symbol of reconciliation.
Work stopped there in April after military tensions increased.
Some analysts saw Thursday's talks as the last chance to salvage Kaesong, saying friction was likely to rise again next month when the South holds an annual military exercise with the US.
Details of the Ulji Freedom Guardian exercise have not been announced, but the drill usually begins in the middle of August and lasts for 10 days, involving tens of thousands of US and South Korean troops.
Rodong Sinmun, newspaper of the North's ruling party, said Sunday the exercise would create an "uncontrollable" crisis on the Korean peninsula.
"Unfortunately, the Kaesong estate is now heading for a permanent shutdown," Professor Yang Moo-Jin of Seoul's University of North Korean Studies told AFP.
"Confrontation between the two rivals will intensify and military tensions on the Korean peninsula will rise further."
Production at the Kaesong estate, 10 kilometres (six miles) over the border, has been suspended since North Korea withdrew its 53,000 workers from the South's 123 factories in April.
Talks on reopening it have been dominated by mutual recriminations over who was to blame for the shutdown.
The South wants North Korea to accept responsibility and give a written guarantee that it will never happen again.
The North says it was not responsible for the shutdown, arguing that its hand was forced by hostile South Korean actions and intimidation -- in particular, a series of joint military exercises with the United States.
Professor Koh Yu-Hwan of Seoul's Dongguk University said the North saw the South's demand that it take full responsibility for the suspension of Kaesong as an affront to its national pride.
"The North is likely to create a crisis with some military provocations," Koh said.
Kaesong, born out of the "sunshine" reconciliation policy initiated in the late 1990s by then-South Korean president Kim Dae-Jung, was an important hard currency source for the impoverished North through taxes, other revenues, and its cut of workers ' wages.
The joint complex, which had survived previous cross-border crises, was the most high-profile casualty of two months of elevated tensions that followed a nuclear test by the North in February which sparked international condemnation.
South Korean managers say they have suffered production losses of around $1 billion, and have criticised the two sides for making a political football of their businesses.
Some have threatened to pull out of the complex permanently unless operations resume soon.

who anyone and everyone who fits, but mostly Sakura and Sasuke
what a chapter fic, AU
when senior year
where mostly Konoha
why I've wanted to do a chapter fic for a while, and I got an insane amount of inspiration from a book I read over the summer, called Rx by Tracy Lynn
WARNING it's rated M for a reason
disclaimer unfortunately, I do not own the Narutoverse's soul... it co-owns mine–under signed contract of course.
He kissed her tenderly.
She leaned into it, cupping his cheek in her hand.
The seat of the couch met her back, as he hovered over her.
No contact was broken as a condom was pulled from his back pocket.
Green eyes dully watched from across the crowded room.
Even from a distance, she could feel the lustful aura emitting from the two as the boy peeled away her shirt. But it wasn't just them, it was everyone. Her eyes scanned the cramped room and rested on one corner of the room. Bodies upon bodies pushed up against each other, swaying in the sweat and the beat of the thunderous bass. The air was thick with smoke and sex, setting the atmosphere of the vivacious basement party.
The green eyes watched the partiers' faces with satisfaction, their eyes specifically. Half-lidded and glazed over seemed be the theme. Even the deejay participated, swaying over his turntables, headphones slack against his sticky neck. A red Dixie cup sat haphazardly balanced on his stack of classic vinyls, jumping at every thump of the speakers against the wall.
A blue shirt flew from the orgy.
"Fuck me," a sultry voice crooned through the sound system.
It was the phrase of the night.
Observant eyes glanced to the left.
Two teens grinded together in their own privacy, the outside world forgotten in haze of alcohol and narcotics, their primal instinct barely contained through the material of their slacks. Lips seared wet kisses over tanned skin, sucking on the collarbone before making their way down to muscled pectorals. The other male groaned, reaching his hand around and groping his presumed boyfriendthrough the ass of his jeans.
"... Yo."
A head swiveled.
Green eyes met brown.
"Great party," the boy complimented, yelling over the music.
The girl seated on the upturned crate shook her head. "It isn't mine," she yelled back.
The girl in his one-armed grasp, turned into him more, bringing her lips to his pulse and a hand to the crotch of his pants–giving a rough squeeze. His hand instantaneously slipped behind her pastel panties and tickled her, forcing a throaty groan from her parted lips.
He looked back at the seated girl and gave a one-shouldered shrug.
"Well, you supplied..."
He walked away.
"So it's basically the same thing," she finished, standing.
No lie there.
Primitive impulses rocked the two males against the wall into an orgasmic frenzy.
Sporadic lights in spectrums of colors roamed the floor from the low ceiling, as if searching for the best example in the room. The show was in the middle of the dance floor, greedy eyes watched every moment with a hungry glint. The girl came again as she dug her nails repeatedly into the back of a tensing male, his toes curled and back arched, obviously on the edge. Foreign bodies began to crowd the two, participating, until one could no longer see original pair.
Green orbs disgustedly watched the mass orgy. Animals.
She was a bit buzzed herself, as she stepped carelessly over the limbs of two college seniors. Tipsy was her mind, and her body hastily followed, as she unsteadily climbed the stairs of the cellar–a hand resting against the paneled wall. Subconsciously, nimble fingers rolled a small item around in the side pocket of her jacket. Sneakers met grass at the top of the steps, and shuffled from the back of the house to the sidewalk.
Delirious eyes set on her.
"Hey," a boy on the front stoop called. "Whas' ya got there?"
He sounded blazed and drunk. Her hand pulled out of her pocket.
A grin met his lips. "Give ya ten bucks for it."
Her lips wore their own grin.
She handed over the pill and he handed over his part of the deal–the money. The little blue pill went right from his hand to his mouth, followed by the subtle flavor of Bacardi Gold and a satisfied cough. Honestly, the girl didn't have an inkling of what the customer was downing. But hey, ten dollars was ten dollars.
Fingers set to her lips and obstructed an intense exhale, creating an ear-piercing whistle.
Against the dull orange of the streetlamp, a yellow taxi could be seen. Parked dangerously close to the curb, it honked once and revved its engine impatiently. The girl jogged to it and almost fell in, still mildly unbalanced and snorted at herself, closing the door behind her.
A destination stumbled its way through her lips, and leaned she head against the back of the seat as the car lurched forward. Street lights flooded in and out from the window as they drove through the city. Half-lidded eyes watched the passing scenery. Every bar, restaurant, and gentlemen's club the taxi passed seemed to be smeared together in a sickening mixture of hues.
She looked away.
By the time the cab pulled up to the curb in front of the apartment complex, the girl was only half-there. She had handed the driver three ten dollars, mumbled her gratitude, and eased her fatigued body out of the backseat.
The cab was gone.
Keys jingled limply in her hand, as she turned the lock to her apartment. Lights stayed off as sneakered feet inched their across the living room's carpet to the bedroom's. Pants dropped to the floor and shoes were thrown to a corner, cushioned by an abundance of sweatshirts. A mattress whined at an abrupt addition of weight, and a maroon comforter slipped around the tired body, encouraging sleep.
But she couldn't succumb just yet.
Her hand dipped into her bra and pulled out a wad of cash. By the red light of her digital clock's numbers, green eyes counted every bill that passed them with a subtle excitement. While one hand held the money, the other grabbed a book from the bedside table drawer and stuffed the capitol into the hollowed pages, shutting it and placing it back in its home.
Then finally, she allowed her head to hit the awaiting pillow.
And she slept.
"So, remember kids, POGo," the guidance counselor explained, writing the acronym out on the board.
Pop seatbelt
Open window
Umino Iruka, the sole guidance counselor of the senior class, dusted the chalk from his hands and surveyed the young adults of the future. For an advanced calculus class, they looked quite special–for a lack of a better term.
About a third of them hadn't shown up for their first period class, unconcerned and more than likely, still sleeping. Some had put in the effort to pay attention, and sat staring at him with a glazed appearance, in all probability, not realizing they had fallen asleep with their eyes open. Others had mentally wandered off early in the lecture, and were doodling on various parts of their body–or in their notebooks, like normal people.
"Any questions?" he asked, peering hopefully around the room.
Haruno Sakura, one of the few students still awake, looked up momentarily before re-engrossing herself in her doodles. Carefully, she dragged her black pen against the paper of her notebook, perfecting the X eyes of the cute little panda riding the unicycle. Her small grin turning into a frown at the loud snores of her seatmate, Inuzuka Kiba, who was slumped messily across the desk, his arm flung out over the edge.
Then again, she didn't blame him–the lecture wasn't the most stimulating she had ever listened to. And it wasn't like anybody else was paying attention, either. For instance, on the other side of the room, Uzumaki Naruto made battle between two paper dolls–action figures, he swears–producing appropriate sound effects for the movements. Above him sat Yamanaka Ino, rolling her eyes at the blonde's display, refocusing her attention on the intricate doodle of butterfly on her left forearm.
Iruka shook his head, as he erased the board. "Alright guys, tha–"
The bell rang.
There was a mad rush to the door, as the students packed up and the left the room. Sakura roughly nudged Kiba in the side as she stood, packing up while she waited. Slowly he got ready, and slung his backpack over his shoulder and followed his seatmate out the door. The hallway was flooded with people – teachers and students alike.
"Man, it doesn't make any sense. I don't see why the Iruka–the fucking guidance counselor, for Christ's sake–has to teach us how to get out of a sinking car," Kiba complained, drawing his hands behind his head.
Sakura snorted, shoving him playfully. "Why are you complaining? You were asleep the whole time."
"Yeah, I know, but I mean–c'mon," he tried to reason. "The closest bridge we could run ourselves off is the one that connects to Wave County. And that's like, on the other side of the city."
"You're right," Sakura agreed, rummaging around her messenger bag for a stick of gum. Slipping a piece into her mouth, she offered a stick of citrus mint to her counterpart, before saying goodbye. "I got to get to chemistry before Kurenai grills me ass for being late, see you later."
And not even five minutes after she had departed from Kiba, the recognition came. High fives and compliments passed from the lips of, what seemed like, everyone. She grinned licentiously at the guys and smiled at girls. They were all wrapped around her finger, the ones that had bought from her in the past, and she loved it.
"Um, excuse me?"
Sakura turned to the voice, immediately recognizing the owner. His brown hair was shaggy and pulled back in a low ponytail, brown eyes looking down on her with an odd light. He wore a simple, blue striped button-up shirt and a pair of tan khakis. It was obvious he a little older than her, and for a second she was curious why he had approached her, but it became obvious to her when she saw his surreptitious smile.
"Can I help you?" she asked in feigned naivety, her eyes prodding him mercilessly.
He squirmed underneath her gaze and broke eye contact quickly, starting his sentence with an awkward laugh. "Heh, uh well, I don't know if you remember me from last night or anything... but my name's Idate–Morino Idate."
"Uh-huh." She quirked an eyebrow at him. "Aren't you a little old to still go to high school?"
"Well, I'm a student teacher, for the freshman social studies class. And I'm really not that old either, just turned twenty-three," he explained, slightly less anxious.
Sakura pretended to suddenly remember him. "Oh yeah, you! The one who came up and complimented me. Yeah, now I remember, you were messing around with that girl while we were talking. What's up?"
Now he looked embarrassed. "Um, yeah. I was wondering if you, you know..."
Sakura caught his drift. "Sure. Meet me at the bottom of the back stairs, down by the biology rooms, at sixth period.
"Alright," he agreed, as he began to pull out his wallet. "How much...?"
A grin spread lightly against her lips, as she started to walk away. Quietly, she spoke, just loud enough for him to hear, and others to be oblivious.
"Don't worry about it... first ones are always free."
okay, so I know my first chapter wasn't so good and probably has a butt-load of mistakes. but I don't care because I've wanted to get this out for a long time now.
this isn't proof-read, and I hope that this turns out exactly how I imagined it in my head.
things may be unclear now, and I'm sorry, but all we be known in dear time. so patience.
but questions are certainly acceptable!

This navigation app should be a joy to use for most people. I plan on testing it further, when I get a chance. But, for now, I think it's one of the better navigation apps out there, I would dare say right up there with Google Drive. Actually, I do dare to say.

Recently; several Nokia smart-phones have been reviewed as so-so voice phones; while I remember that Symbian phones had rock-solid voice call performance.

I can honestly say that this is the best Windows 8 phone out there. It may not be the flagship of the line, but I still prefer its size, power and flexibility.
First off, the unit is very comforatble to pocket and hold onto during calls. The removeable battery and SD card are a huge bonus. Wireless charging is built into the back cover so all I need is the charging base. Even though phones keep getting bigger and thinner, I think that less is more in this case.

Great alternative
I've seen the 8X and 820 at at@t and I like this series more. I'm not crazy about the bright colors and lack of tactile buttons with the 8X. The fact that this has a memory card slot and removeable battery makes this a winner for me.

I hope it lives up to the hype.

Poem: Lateralis
This is the night. This is the end of one hope, the dawn of another . This is the beginning of all that may yet be. This is solitude. This is moonlight. This is the darkness. Once, when I was old enough to dream, but too young to stay upon the ground, I flew. Now, I am old enough to root myself in fear and doubt, and realism and logic, but too young to soar again.
My chance of paradise left me one cold February night, whereupon I chanced to make my dreams true. I held her in my arms, our embrace as timeless as forever. But it was not to last. For in my thoughts were those of love, ones I perchance had grown to show to my heart, and to her. But all too soon. Love left me that night, her kiss grew cold.
The distance, that grew between our once laughing hearts, hurt me. I ran. I ran far from the world and all i't's wretched beauty, until I could run no more. Awash in a haze of whiskey and broken dreams, I fell upon the shore one night, where all the stars could see me.
There I promised, as I do now, never to give up the hope, that one day, upon a dreaming star, She will return. Too seldom in life are there happy endings. I wish and pray, that my life will be granted one. To hold her in my arms again, safe in the knowledge that she will not leave, is perchance too much to dream. But when I dream, I dream for the stars.
Nought but two nights have passed, since I set in motion my everlasting dream. Now inside my heart burns a hope and desire, that I can reclaim a princess, an angel, a girl. I am but a man, but men will do all when needs must. So here, in the comfort of home, I write of all that shall be. In Dreams. In Darkness. And in the Hopes of all Time.
I have grown, past all pain, through endless nights and tears without consequence. Too close have I come before to what could end it all, to now slip beyond mortality. In the echoes of morning dew, I have wept. I have shed. I have loved. In timeless days, in unforgiving nights, I have prayed, I have hurt, I have grown.
Forever more shall I feel in love with being in love. A chance to render myself in stars and moonlight, a chance to let the world notice what it passes by. Simplicity founded in this grey facade of emotion. Complexity barren, through the ghosts and heroes that fall to love. Neither shall become me.
Memories of diary read forgiveness, fed upon to children's stories, are a tool left to me. Happiness. Embrace. Beginning. There is no end to remember, merely seperation. There are pains to render, better left forgotten. Time has reached its passing, and soon the memory will turn, from whereupon I hurt, to whereupon I learn, of all that she may be needing, for all she may yet feel.
I am a man. I am a nothing, floating through the night. I am a artist, working words in several shades of emotion. I am a dreamer. There is nothing I cannot fathom. In dreams, are all I may need. In life, is all that can be. Both are precious. Life and dream, forever more entwined in hope and promise, the rights of passage to the end of this growth, and the beginning of the evermore.
Thank you for reading.
This is the night. This is the end of one hope, the dawn of another . This is the beginning of all that may yet be. This is solitude. This is moonlight. This is the darkness.
"I will do what I have to do. I will do what I must." - The Sandman.

By Spc. Shameka Edwards, 4th Inf. Div. Public Affairs OfficeMay 28, 2010
FORT CARSON, Colo. - Six Iraqi officers visited the Mountain Post May 10 to provide continuity and information to the leaders of the 4th Infantry Division headquarters during their trip to the U.S.
Before making a stop at Fort Carson the officers visited the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., and Fort Stewart, Ga. to get a firsthand look at training and observe and experience how the Army trains their divisions and general officers.
Of the six visiting officers, four are assigned to the Iraqi Security Forces: staff Lt. Gen. Hasan Kareem Khudhair, commander, Ninewa Operations Center; staff Brig. Gen. Ayad Mohammed Salih Khorsheed, 12th Iraqi army division deputy commander; staff Brig. Gen. Abdulrahman Handhal Mahdi Alburghif, 10th Brigade commander, 3rd IA and staff Col. Fadil Jawad Ali, 3rd Brig. commander, 1st IA.
The remaining two are assigned to the Kurdish Security Forces, Brig. Gen. Jameel Ali Ibrahim, Kurdish Regional Government liaison officer to the Ninewa Operations Center and KSF Aide, Lt. Col. Ahmed Haji Sadeq, Kurdish Regional Government deputy liaison officer to the Ninewa Operations Center, Kurdish and Arabic interpreter.
While at Fort Carson the officers toured the Battle Command Training Branch/Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security.
There they were briefed on the capabilities of the center and operated the simulators.
Khudhair, who requested to use the Bradley Fighting Vehicle simulator, said through the United States Division-North deputy commanding general of support Arabic interpreter, Shirif Shadad, "We need to train for the enemy we have. We will have tanks around for a while."
"Tomorrow's fight is the security of my country and I want to be prepared," said Khudhair as he left the vehicle simulators and headed to the medical training center.
After the tour Khudhair briefed key leaders of the 4th Inf. Div. headquarters at the headquarters building.
"With help from U.S. forces, improvised explosive device attacks are down since 2008," he said. "We are getting better at tracking down the enemy and stopping them."
The NOC commander spoke of the relationship he has with the 3rd Infantry Division headquarters staff, which is currently in command of USD-N in Tikrit, Iraq.
"I look forward to working with the 4th Inf. Div., to building a partnership with you," he added.
Later in the day Khudhair and Ali Ibrahim spoke at a press conference along with Brig. Gen. James Pasquarette, DCG-S, 4th Inf. Div. and Brig. Gen. Tom Vandal, DCG-S, 3rd Inf. Div., who led the team that escorted the Iraqi officers to the U.S.
"This is a great initiative, we have had the opportunity to hear from the Iraqi army generals and the one liaison officer from the Peshmerga their perspective of what it is like today in Iraq and the challenges they face," said, Pasquarette.
"This is a unique opportunity", he said. "I have never seen this before, where the actual general officers that we will be working very closely with in a very complex part of the country at a really critical time in Iraq's history, come forward here to our country to help us learn about their challenges firsthand."
"This is an opportunity for us to bring them (the Iraqi officers) over to the U.S. for them (the 4th Inf. Div. headquarters leaders) to work with, as we transition and work with the 4th Inf. Div. so they can establish a strategic relationship, ensure a transition between the U.S. divisions and ensure a continuity of operations," said Vandal.
Also during the press conference, Jameel said through his interpreter "I am glad to be in the U.S., it was a dream to me; I never dreamed I would ever be here in the U.S."
"I will teach all of my soldiers the things I have learned here," he added.
The officers ended the day with a briefing from Maj. Gen. David G. Perkins, commander, 4th Inf. Div. and Fort Carson.
Perkins said to Khudhair since he was the highest ranking officer, he had the choice of a slide show presentation or a wrap-up of the facts.
Khudhair chuckled as he answered, "short wrap-up."
"The 4th Inf. Div.'s mission is to support the ISF and the state department who will stay in Iraq once we leave," Perkins explained during the brief.
Perkins told the NOC commander that he looks forward to working hand-in-hand with the ISF to improve the situation in Iraq and asked Khudhair what was the biggest security he faced right now.
"The border," answered Khudhair. "The border is our greatest concern."
The Iraqi officers ended their tour of the U.S. with a visit to the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center, in Colorado Springs, Colo., May 11 before heading back to Iraq.

Love the art direction. Idea is so so.
And for this category? This is great work.
agree with brandon, for this category it's really great stuff
nice concept, art direction is nice also, a bit like those old construction plan. but the text written perhaps could be more interesting way.
but at least, i like how they visualise the idea of one by one, build something big.

i disagree with all these "copy is so so" comments. i feel its short and still manages to get a great deal of info across. plus the tag 'save loads of energy' is outstanding!!
needless to say the art direction in this one is great..my only complaint would be that its out of scale.
Art directions great. Copy is solid. But let's face it, the idea is nothing more than another of those 'lets build something out of the product' ideas. So, for me, it's all a bit of a beautiful, expensive wank.
Having said that, I'm sure the big names associated with it won't hurt its chances come award season.

Comments about Women's Sleeveless Piqué Polo Shirt:
I buy two of these shirts a year (rotate old out). This year I have been extremely frustrated. Every time I look down, all 5 buttons are open, I am a size B in cup. I can't wear the shirt outside of the house. I am permanently sewing the shirts closed tomorrow out of frustration!
Comments about Women's Sleeveless Piqué Polo Shirt:
I love the look of this shirt. It's very flattering. I like sleeveless tops for the summer time that don't expose too much under your arms and this met my expectations. My only complaint is that it does not stay buttoned across the chest and I am not well endowed. So I either have to where a cute sports bra under the shirt or pin it to keep from exposing too much. A quick fix for EB would be to use slightly larger buttons. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars but I definitely buy another one.
Comments about Women's Sleeveless Piqué Polo Shirt:
I have to wear polo shirts to work, so have several brands. This one is by far the best -- looks great, cool in hot weather, and washes well. I'm 35/25/34, 105 lbs., 34C, and the medium fits well. About to order more of them while they're on sale! Wish they came in black....
Comments about Women's Sleeveless Piqué Polo Shirt:
This shirt was pretty and I liked the color, fabric, and fit but after one washing it shrunk so much as to be unwearable. It was a waste of money to buy a shirt I could only wear once and I'm very disappointed.

Ole Miss Is No Longer Nuts About Its Coach
Mississippi coach Houston Nutt is out at season's end. The school announced the decision Monday, two days after Ole Miss fell 30-13 to fellow Southeastern Conference punching-bag Kentucky—the Rebels' 12th straight SEC football loss dating to last season. Chancellor Dan Jones said he took athletic director Pete Boone's recommendation to "make a change in football leadership," and former Ole Miss star Archie Manning will co-chair the selection committee. Nutt, who is 24-23 in four seasons at Ole Miss, will be owed $6 million over the next five years, though that figure could be reduced if he takes another job. "Change is never easy," Nutt said in a statement.

Kansas Conquers Mizzou (According to Kansas)
In response to archrival Missouri's move to the Southeastern Conference, Kansas wrote on a Twitter feed: "Missouri forfeits a century-old rivalry. We win." That's up for debate. According to KU, the all-time football series stands at 55-55-9. Missouri says it leads, 56-54-9. This year's game is Nov. 26.

Following a Classic Dud, Uncle Mo Is Off to Stud
A 10th-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Classic will mark the end of Uncle Mo's racing career. A blood test showed high levels of the enzyme that in the spring led vets to diagnose cholangiohepatitis, a liver disease. Owner Mike Repole recently sold a majority breeding stake in last year's 2-year-old champ to a division of Coolmore. "After he broke his maiden by 14 lengths, people were calling," said Repole, adding that touring stud farms "felt like a college-basketball recruiting trip."

Free seminar to focus on breast-cancer awareness
Published: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 11, 2010 at 12:54 p.m.
HOUMA — With several events and increased awareness nationwide during October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Jeffrey Long said words like breast cancer have become "less scary" than they used to be.
Breast cancer in 2010
207,090: New cases of invasive cancer
54,010: New cases of non-invasive cancer/precancer
39,840: Deaths
1 in 8: Lifetime risk of breast cancer
1 in 35: Lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer
2.5 million: Breast-cancer survivors in the U.S.
Five-year survival rates for breast cancer, 1996-2004: 98 percent
Early stage: 84 percent
Spread to lymph nodes: 27 percent
Spread to other organs: 88 percent
Overall survival trends
in breast cancer
1975-1977: 75 percent
1984-1986: 79 percent
1996-2004: 89 percent
Source: Promise Me
The tools now available to physicians have brought about this change in attitude, said Long, a radiation oncologist with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at Terrebonne General Medical Center.
"A quarter of a century ago when I entered the field, breast cancer was a lot less curable because people weren't finding out they had it until it was too late," the 53-year-old New York Times bestselling author said. "Over the years, we've seen more awareness which has led to the saving of countless lives. If we find out about it (breast cancer) very early on, we have about a 99 percent cure rate."
Although technological advancements have stemmed the amount of breast-cancer deaths, Long said doctors, like himself, are always striving to save more lives.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation's website, www.nationalbreastcancer.org, it's estimated that nearly 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer yearly, with more than 40,000 of them eventually dying due to the disease.
On the flip side, roughly 450 of 1,700 men annually diagnosed die from breast cancer.
"It's still a big problem," Long said. "What we focus on as physicians is making sure our patients take preventative steps like regular mammograms and examining themselves for anything that seems out of place. You'd be surprised by the amount of people's lives that have been saved through performing self-exams on their own."
You can learn more about breast cancer at a free educational seminar scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at TGMC's OutReach Center inside Southland Mall, 5953 W. Park Ave., Houma.
Organizers say the event, which is just in time for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, will focus on learning the importance of prevention, early detection, risk factors, types of treatment and the state-of-art technology available to you.
"Our hospital and staff at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center (at TGMC) do an outstanding job of providing these sorts of events to the community for free," Long said. "I encourage any and everyone to attend this event because I plan on providing a lot of information and fielding people's questions."
Long also wants to let people know that Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at TGMC will hold a free breast-cancer screening from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 23 inside Southland Mall.
Appointments are required and can be made by calling 888-616-4687.
To register for the free breast cancer educational seminar, call 858-7020.

I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 on Snow Leopard. I'm a heavy Spaces user. Whenever Microsoft Office Reminders pops up a reminder, it brings up the reminder in my current screen. However, if I do something else before dismissing the reminder pop-up, I can't easily find the pop-up again: Clicking on the icon in the dock does nothing and the pop-up vanishes when you use Expose. Left with no other choice, I simply end up clicking through each screen, moving windows around to hunt down the pop-up again.
Is there any easier way to locate that pop-up? Is there a way to get the pop-up to behave like a normal window?

Nike Golf will recall its new, square-shaped Nike Sumo2 driver due to what it calls an "unauthorized manufacturing variance." According to sources, Nike is instructing retailers to remove the driver from shelves "immediately" and begin returning them to the company. Individual golfers will be able to return their current Sumo2 driver for a new, conforming model starting March 26.
In a memorandum sent to Nike's golf professionals and retailers, company president Bob Wood said, "The CT of a number of drivers fell out of our approved engineering specifications. While the result of this variance is an additional distance benefit of only one to two yards, it lies outside of the parameters as established by the USGA."
Wood said the problem was brought to his attention by the USGA in late February, and that the USGA was made aware of the potential problem by a "competitor."
Characteristic time (CT), which is measured by the so-called "Pendulum test," refers to a driver face's tendency to deform slightly at impact, resulting in improved ball speed. The USGA and R&A set a characteristic time limit of 239 microseconds, plus a tolerance of 18 microseconds. This correlates to the previous coefficient of restitution (COR) test and its limit of .822 with a manufacturing tolerance that extended to .830. By comparison, a wooden-headed driver has a COR of about .780.
"I don't think anybody can sell a driver made at 239 [CT]," Wood said in a conference call with reporters. "I'd be pulling your leg if I didn't say that we didn't try to get as close as possible to the limit."
In the memorandum to retailers, Wood said, "As it stands today, the USGA doesn't have a published protocol for the ongoing testing of compliant product once in the marketplace. Therefore, Nike Golf is voluntarily conducting a testing and replacement program with the USGA to potentially serve as one model for the industry. We intend to do this in an open and straightforward manner. We expect other manufacturers' products to be tested in the future." The implication being that the USGA should further examine all manufacturers drivers as perhaps there are other clubs in a similar situation.
Conforming versions will be shipped within a month and will have a circular notch on the soleplate indicating they are USGA conforming. In addition, Nike will provide, via its Web site or by calling 866-632-6453, the opportunity to trade in their current Sumo2 driver for the new version starting March 26 and running through April 30. Wood would not reveal how many Sumo2 drivers have been sold, nor would he give an estimate on how much the exchange program would cost Nike.
The Sumo2 driver has been used by several PGA Tour players, including K.J. Choi, who won the Chrysler Championship in October with the club in his bag. Wood said all drivers used by Nike's tour staff have been tested and conform to the Rules of Golf.
The Sumo2 is on the USGA's current conforming list, and Wood said a new version of the club has been submitted to the USGA and is expected to be on the USGA's new conforming list when it is published Monday.

Men's Colognes: 2011
Page 2 of 2
formal event
Halston Man$55, buy it here
All right, so it has patchouli, but it's barely noticeable against the musk, and at $55, we'll let this one slide in. Halston might be a new name to younger readers, but he was (and still is) the hallmark of late 1970s and early 1980s elegance. He was born in Indiana but made his name in New York by reinventing evening sophistication. If you attend multiple black-tie events every year, then this is your new cologne. Do we need to remind you that it smells even better if you actually wear a tuxedo with it and twice as good if you dare to wear a double-breasted tuxedo?
Clive Christian No. 1 for Men$850, Saks Fifth Avenue
Perhaps this is the most expensive men's cologne in the world, as the ads proclaim, but you'll want to wear it because they got the base notes of wood just right. And, OK, the bottle cap is made of gold, but this is just a packaging detail. This cologne works because it really does smell like it's worth hundreds, and this is because of the casual mix of bergamot, citrus and jasmine over those astonishingly good woods.
Jo Malone Sweet Lime & Cedar$105, buy it here
It might be the weekend, and you might be up for anything between heading to the gym and doing some laundry. Who knows? Yet you still have to smell like a man at leisure. This is where Jo Malone's Sweet Lime & Cedar makes all the difference. Unusually balanced and blended to conjure visions of Thailand, with warm citrus and wood fighting for control of your senses before the calming floral notes rise above it all.
Burberry Sport$72, buy it here
An English gentleman always knows how to win (and sometimes lose) with style and grace. The embodiment of this unique brand of sportsmanship is Burberry Sport. The classic aromas of musk and wood underpin the refreshing lighter notes of grapefruit citrus and ginger. Burberry Sport is so perfectly English that wearing it might cause you to take up cricket, but you can settle for a pint at the pub after a basketball game.

When cooking at home I make use of South Asian cuisines more than any other. And yet I continue to be disappointed by the low quality of Vancouver South Asian restaurants. Most tend to offer a grim mix of spices out of packets, tiny portions, reheated frozen offerings and sour service. Al Watan is a ray of light in comparison.
The restaurant itself is small and simple, (but very clean). At the same time the owner and his staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. Their Pakistani/Muslim Indian fare is unusually well prepared: in contrast to the grungy mix of spices so often encountered, the individual spices stand out clearly and in balance. Portion size is at least 50% larger than typical, and the cost per dish at least 25% less. As a case in point, last night three of us had a chicken biryani, lamb saag, dal, two plain and one onion naan, raita (complementary) and four chais and this ample meal cost us $32 before tip.
The restaurant is halal, too.

For real-time video streaming applications it is important to preserve both privacy and delay sensitivity. To achieve this, selective encryption exploits the entropy coding stage of hybrid codecs. As streaming applications move towards mobile networks, they become vulnerable to bit-errors in the wireless channel. This paper is a pioneering analysis of the relative impact of bit-errors on the two H.264 codec entropy coders, CAVLC and CABAC. The joint impact of compression and encryption on objective video quality is determined in experiments, when it is found that CAVLC is much more vulnerable to bit-errors compared to CABAC. This finding will guide future bit-error protection schemes for both entropy coders of H.264 video codec.

Is there any word yet on when 1.3 will be coming out? I want make a WP site and I know i will need to use a few hacks and stuff so I don't want to set it all up under 1.2 and have to rehack everything in 1.3. Any ideas on a timeline?
Is there any word yet on when 1.3 will be coming out? I want make a WP site and I know i will need to use a few hacks and stuff so I don't want to set it all up under 1.2 and have to rehack everything in 1.3. Any ideas on a timeline?
Why not work on 1.3 right now? It's pretty stable IMO, haven't had but a few really small quirks.
so far... all my plugins work for both 1.2 and 1.3
those that i'm using anyway.
Index.php differs slightly, in terms of functions called, just here and there.. However, i'm still using my 1.2 index.php on 1.3 And things seem to be working fine....
So... things should work plain fine...
I think that I will wait until the stable release as I currently have no problems with 1.2 so see no reason to upgrade and (possibly) mess things up.
Are there any installation instructions, or at least suggestions, for moving from 1.2 to 1.3 alpha?
back up everything....
upload all files... except those u modified (index.php) and run upgrade.php
There might be changes to the database in 1.3 that might create problems with doing what you want. If you post from the beta site, the post will show up in the 1.2 blog too. Why not just create a new set of tables for the beta, and to begin with, for dummy data, you can use a copy of the 1.2 tables, and take it from there on, keeping things safely seperate?
I would hazzard to guess the changes in the database (and there are) will prevent such an endeavor.
you don't have to hazard guesses, fortunately. Check out the function upgrade_130(); in wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php to see what's changed. There are no new columns/tables, it's just that a few options are changed, and the slashes are fixed, in 1.3 .
I too am interested in 1.3 - mainly for the %category% tag. Can someone "official" comment on exactly how stable the current version is and a rough release date?
I'm launching a new site with WP but using category in the URL is a *must* for me, so that is why I kind of want to wait. So I'm in a quandry of how far to take my dev site in 1.2 or to build it in 1.3 and wait...not sure what to do.
Yeah, the category tag is something I'm waiting for... I'm reluctant to launch my new site until its released.. but I don't know when that will be.
The category tag works perfectly under 1.3 Go ahead and install it and I doubt you'll regret it.
I do know the grin plugin made for 1.2 works good with 1.3. How you ask? Well because I have a test 1.3 blog and tried it out.
I've been running 1.3 for a while now with hardly any problems. When there is a problem, I just upgrade to the latest nightly, download the latest version of the file that's messed up from the cvs, or fix it myself if none of those work.

After a tortured install process, I have a Rosewill RNX-6300 wifi card up and running in a machine running Windows XP (32 bit, SP2) about 15 feet from my router.
It's worth mentioning that this is the same card and same OS that I was running a week ago, with no speed issues at all.
But since the reinstall, I'm maxing out at a (rare) 36mbps, with average speed closer to 11. It's agonizingly slow, especially given that a week ago this same setup was giving me 54mbps or more routinely.
Also worth mentioning: wifi is running perfectly on all other devices and computers in the house -- a laptop, two iPads, two iPhones, a Wii.
And again worth mentioning: all of the below comes from a 4:30 a.m. testing session when there were only two devices in the house on and using wifi: this machine, and my wife's iPhone. There's never been an issue with multiple devices messing up our wifi in the past.
I'm in the "know just enough to screw things up" category, though, and I worry that while trying to install the card and set it up I may have bungled the settings somehow.
Possibly too much information, but here goes: this is the router setup screen. This is not the machine in question, but what it looks like when I log into the router:
These are the recent router logs. The computer in question is at 192.168.0.198.
When I ping, I get seemingly decent results...
But when I try to download something, even from a robust site like Microsoft, it's crazy slow. Just downloading IrfanView to take these screenshots took five minutes for 2MB.
(I tried a couple of speed test sites, but they won't even load).
Here's the ipconfig for the machine in question:
and the settings for the card. I don't know anything about anything here. There are a ton of advanced options I'm afraid to even touch.
Here's what the wireless setup on the remote machine looks like. 802.11x verification is off (unchecked, greyed out) in the Authentication tab. "Connect automatically" is on in the Connections tab.
Finally, just in case it's useful somehow, the connection properties screen:
I don't know how to verify if I'm using a or g or n, or if I've somehow bungled a setting somewhere. Taking these screenshots is about as much as I know how to do.
