I had a very large breast lump removed from my right breast in September 2010. It was benign. Now I have a very round lump in my left breast that feels about the size of a large grape or a small plum. It moves around when I press down on it and feels softish sometimes. It appeared with my last period but did not go away. I have an appointment with the doctor on Tuesday but just wanted some input. I'm too shocked to have any emotions at the moment....can't even panic, just feel very disappointed..is there something I'm doing to cause these lumps? I had my last mammogram last May and the left breast was clear but with ultrasound it did show that I have 5 cysts in that (left) breast, one of them was quite large, I think about 2cm, but I was never able to feel it this much. I'm not sure if it is the large cyst that has grown or a new one. Any comments please? Thank you.READ MORE
Keri, you are not doing anything to cause the lumps. Some people are just more prone to lumps and cysts. The most dangerous thing you may face from these lumps is the tendency to start ignoring new ones because previous lumps turned out to be benign. I think there is a good chance that this new lump will turn out to be a cyst since it moves around and changes in how hard or soft it feels. But don't make any assumptions. Follow up on that appointment with the doctor. I hope you get good news.
Thank you so much for replying to me. I have another question (sorry!)
I went to the doctor and she said she doesn't know what the lump is so I have to go for a mammogram and ultrasound and perhaps see a specialist. The lump does seem to have gotten a bit bigger (probably because I've been feeling it so much). Anyway she said that the lump is quite mobile but she couldn't tell if it was fixed to underlying tissue or not. Can a lump be fixed to underlying tissue and move around?- I think it moves around fairly well. In addition, the large cyst they found last year in the same breast was 2.4cm and near the nipple at 12 o'clock. This current lump is large, near the nipple and at 9.0 c'lock. Can a breast cyst change positions? Do you think the previous cyst could have gone away on its own? I understand that no-one can be sure if this is a new lump or not, until I have the tests. But it's so hard getting any kind of answer when you're in the doctor's office! I would appreciate your comments. Thank you so much.READ MORE

Don't apologize for asking more questions. That's why we are here. In general, cancerous lumps are more likely to be fixed, and non-cancerous ones are more likely to move around. However, that test is not sufficiently reliable to use for diagnosis. I haven't heard of breast cysts moving to a different part of the breast. They can go away by themselves. I used to have frequent breast cysts, and although there were a couple places where they popped up most frequently, I had them in almost every area of my breasts over the years. Fortunately, cysts are easily distinguished from solid lumps on an ultrasound, so you should soon have some answers.READ MORE

The most common carpal tunnel symptoms are numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand. You may experience an electric shock-like feeling mostly in the thumb, index, and long fingers. Some people feel strange sensations and pain traveling up the arm toward the shoulder
Carpal tunnel symptoms usually begin gradually, without a specific injury. In most people the symptoms are most severe on the thumb side of the hand.
Because many people sleep with their wrists curled, symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome at night are common and may awaken you from sleep. During the day, carpal tunnel symptoms frequently occur when holding something, like a phone, or when reading or driving.
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome initially come and go, but over time they will become constant if left untreated. A feeling of clumsiness or weakness can make delicate motions, like buttoning your shirt, difficult. These feelings may cause you to drop things. When left untreated the condition becomes very severe and muscles at the base of the thumb will become visibly wasted.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common source of hand numbness and pain.
It is more common in women than men.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow, tunnel-like structure in the wrist. The bottom and sides of this tunnel are formed by wrist (carpal) bones. The top of the tunnel is covered by a strong band of connective tissue called the transverse carpal ligament.
The median nerve travels from the forearm into the hand through this tunnel in the wrist. The median nerve controls feeling in the palm side of the thumb, index finger, and long fingers. The nerve also controls the muscles around the base of the thumb. The tendons that bend the fingers and thumb also travel through the carpal tunnel. These tendons are called flexor tendons.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tissues surrounding the flexor tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve. These tissues are called the synovium. The synovium lubricates the tendons and makes it easier to move the fingers.
This swelling of the synovium narrows the confined space of the carpal tunnel, and over time, crowds the nerve.
Many things contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome:
Heredity is the most important factor – carpal tunnels are smaller in some people, and this trait can run in families.
Hand use over time can play a role.
Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can play a role.
Age — the disease occurs more frequently in older people.
Medical conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid gland imbalance can play a role.
In most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, there is no single cause.
NIH Statistics on Recommended Treatments:
Carpal Tunnel Surgery has a 52% failure rate.
Carpal Tunnel Myofascial Release Massage Therapy has a 93% success rate.

APPIANO GENTILE - After a session of physiotherapy at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti this morning, Esteban Cambiasso and Diego Milito underwent a series of medical tests.
Both players pulled their left hamstring muscles during the recent international friendly between Argentina and Japan.
According to the diagnoses of Inter's medical team, the midfielder has suffered a first-degree strain, while the striker has sustained a first- to second-degree strain.
Recovery times will be determined individually and progressively during a programme of specific work with the rehabilitation staff.

The Trucker News Services
ARLINGTON, Va. — Today, American Trucking Associations applauded the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for clarifying that due to a recent court ruling, both categories of short-haul drivers would not be subject to the 30-minute rest break provision of the new Hours of Service rules.
That includes CDL and non-CDL holders who operate within 100 air miles of their normal work reporting location and non-CDL drivers who operate within a 150 air mile radius of the location where they report for duty.
Those two groups will not be subject to the new 30-minute break requirement.
In its Aug. 2 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the 30-minute break requirement for short-haul drivers, but only referred in its opinion to non-commercial drivers license holders who operate within 150-mile radius of their reporting location.
Notably, the court's ruling doesn't officially take effect until 52 days after the decision (unless a party files for rehearing), but FMCSA said eliminating both CDL and non-CDL short-haul drivers from the 30-minute break requirement went into effect Aug. 2.
"In its first step to implement the court's recent Hours of Service ruling, Administrator Ferro and FMCSA have taken a reasonable enforcement approach concerning the rest break provision for both types of short-haul drivers as the agency drafts a revised rule to comply with the court," ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. "We're pleased that FMCSA is moving forward to provide swift, reasonable relief to drivers who operate locally."

|Norse force: Mads Mikkelsen stars in 'Valhalla Rising'
Conjured necromantically from the medieval dawn, spook-raised from the Scandinavian subconscious, Valhalla Rising (
Refn made Pusher, Bronson and other meat-and-bone modern thrillers before searching his cold locker for this tale of a one-eyed Viking warrior (Mads Mikkelsen, formerly a Bond villain, late of Clash of the Titans). Across land, water and psychedelic mindscapes, Mikkelsen leads a troop of primitive knights, plying their pidgin-English dialogue with Scottish accents, to a promised Holy Land that proves as weird, as hallucinatory as Herzog's El Dorado. On the way there are fights, spites (beheading, disembowellings) and curdling twilights. Some scenes, seeming to be dreams, are shot in blood-red. Others are as pale as monochrome. Still others are lyrical and primitive like canvases from the American river painters.
Every critic I have read, even enthusiasts, misses what is surely the film's point. Mikkelsen's "One-eye", so named and addressed, is either Odin or his earthly avatar. Here is the uni-ocular Norse god (Wagnerians, think of Wotan) leading the crypto-Christians by the nose to the edge of a lunatic revelation, a fire-baptism of faith, before himself meeting a god's twilight on the cusp of a new dawn. The half-blind lead the half-blind: it is the story of religious evolution through the ages.
Don't try to unscramble all this from your cinema seat. Let the images blow and bend you like winds, helped by electronic music from the depths of earth and time. Meanwhile, marvel at how director Refn has manufactured the whole movie on a budget, we don't doubt, of about two euros. Valhalla Rising must be the first avant-garde film set in the early middle ages. Its geography is vague, its map co-ordinates mazy. It is mad Norse by Norse-west. But at the close you feel startlingly certain that you have been in the realm of wizardry.
Four Lions (
Well, yes. Berks and burkhas. It trips off the tongue after a fashion. But when I first saw Four Lions at the Sundance Film Festival, with a stone-cold audience some of whom unfroze enough to leave early, I realised my unhappiness was not unique. Morris has four Britanistanis – three Muslim-Asian immigrants and an older white convert – set out on a crusade for Allah. Nincompoops all, they take off to a pratfall-intensive Pakistan training camp, later returning to prepare a bomb attack on the London Marathon.
Never mind that we have to step over dead bodies to laugh: the still-fresh, for many, corpses of London's July 7 bombings. This is black comedy's privilege, to strike the funnybone while the heart still feels pain. But Four Lions is not funny enough. The comedy needed heightening to reach the stature of the catastrophes. Following the "Carry On" calibre gags of Morris and co-writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain (of TV's Peep Show) into the heart of horror – a training-camp rocket launcher that accidentally kills a Muslim commander, the quartet's attempts to learn Islamist invective ("You floppy camel sphincter"), the slapstick raid on a sex shop – is like accompanying a custard-pie clown into Conrad's heart of darkness.
It is obvious these men are nitwits: suckers for martyrdom, terrorism tourists too daft to see the enormity of their deeds or the bankruptcy of their creeds. But do we really need help in despising the herd-like instinct that helps swell world terrorism's number? Does making jihadists seem semi-lovable twerps do anything, ultimately, but trivialise the conflict? Perhaps if the film were funnier, we wouldn't look for reasons why comedy and global cataclysm seem a less than perfect match.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association, half of US homes already have digital televisions. If you're not one of them, you've got a year to switch—or make sure you hit up this site next Tuesday to get a coupon for a converter. [InformationWeek]
Now is a great time to… WAIT on buying a new TV.
I wish I had waited, but since it was a gift I can't complain.
But when digital only is enacted, HDTVs are going to nosedive in price and this will be a great time to be a HD consumer.
Granted, there might be a spike in price momentarily, since people like to take advantage of other people. But this will be short lived when the first person to lower price starts the coming HDTV price war.
I see that being when the whole blu-ray / hd-dvd thing gets finalised as well (please be blu-ray, I love my PS3)
The FCC is only mandating the shutting off analog broadcast (over-the-air) broadcasts. Analog TV's will still be able to receive analog signals over cable. Many cable companies are attempting to upsell consumers to more expensive digital cable by confusing this issue. Don't bite (unless you want to).
@alfista: Yeah, from what I understand, probably the only people who really should be worrying about converters are those who aren't going to buy a digital TV in the next 18-24 months and who don't subscribe to cable television. Rule of thumb: if you still receive your TV over antennae or rabbit ears, you're going to have some probs a year from now.
Hmm, none of my TV's actually have digital tuners – my 32″ lcd is actually just a monitor, no tuner, and the other two are analog.
But since I have cable, it doesn't really matter – I have a digital box on the hdtv, and the others will be fine for analog cable.
sure, just send me a check.
@cwalters: They should also upgrade to one of those new fangled 28.8k modems.
It's worth it to get an LCD TV in a small bedroom to free up floor or counter space.
Unless they live in the 75% of the rural US that has no cable and no digital tower close enough to them.
My parents get a signal that is just slightly better than nothing from a single channel where they live, mainly due to interference from the mountain next to them. They cannot get a satellite because there are many, many, many trees – they COULD put the dish near the road, but that would require running 1,000′ of RG6. (They could also cut down the trees, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of living near lots of trees.)
There are also a number of areas in the US where satellite is unavailable for one reason or another. Not to mention the fact that, well, satellite TV isn't free. No $40 coupon is going to help with a $50+/mo satellite bill.
This means that many, many, many people in the US will be thrown back 70 years, and will be forced to get news and weather reports from the radio.
And with regards to the modem comment, 90% of the US has no access to broadband other than satellite – which is INCREDIBLY expensive, unreliable, and still uses dialup for upstream.
Furthermore, Blu-Ray is a terrible format, piled high and deep with copy protection. HD-DVD isn't *much* better, but it is *better*, and so I hope it wins.
It is much better for the consumer when a playing a disc doesn't *disable your player completely*, as many people discovered upon purchasing "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer."
(or, you know, you put in your Fantastic 4 DVD on a rainy night, since you don't want to go out in the storm. suddenly, the power goes out, and when it comes back up, you find out that since the disc didn't even warn you about the firmware update, your player no longer works – even though it wasn't on the list of 'region-free players to be disabled')
WHat really SUCKS is that I found out that the average converter box is going to cost near $70! That means IF I can get one of those $40 coupons (who knows if there will be shortages) … i will still have to shell out $30 to get the converter.
I have a 5 year old 35 inch tv that is still going strong & have no intention on buying some no-name brand of TV (visio? Who the F*ck has heard of(or trusts) visio brand Tvs?).
Maybe I could request two of those coupons & sell one on ebay for $30. *shrug*
Here are a few things to ponder on the digital cutover.
1. ATSC (the digital signal) is not intended for portable or mobile use. Thus, anyone who has a TV they bring to the game to watch a replay – that device won't work.
2. TV-Audio radios won't pick up the audio portion.
3. In-vehicle televisions won't pick up the signal.
I know it's hard to fathom, but there's lots and lots of people who don't pay to watch commercials, or live in an area where an antenna is the only way to get a signal of any kind, and for these folks, the end of TV comes in about a year.
Yea…..just saw the chart. BASICALLY the only people effected are ones that get their programming over the air. So BASICALLY this is all hype.
It's not all "hype" because more people – maybe you – get TV over the air than you might think.
First of all, if you have a portable TV, maybe to bring to the game to see replays or some such…sorry, that won't work.
If you have a radio that picks up TV audio…that won't work.
If you have an in-vehicle television, like many truckers do, that won't work anymore.
And finally, even if you do get an ATSC capable TV, the signal range for digital television is MUCH less than for the Analog system. In the end, there's not much to say that's good about DTV for those people who don't care to pay for access to broadcast media. Ultimately, this is nothing less than a massive undertaking to create a new, pointless market.
All in all, there's really nothing to be gained here by the consumer, and I'll just leave the image of billion of televisions, all full of lead and toxic stuff, on their way to various holes in the ground.
I can't wait until Time Warner tries to scare me into switching :D
I own three non-digital TVs right now. One of them should be junked (a 25 yo 25 inch console). The other two are connected to cable, so no biggie there.
The thing that gets me is that living where you need to be prepared for a hurricane, the two self powered radios that I have won't be able to grab the TV audio now, which is the bigger bummer. I wonder when the new sets will be out that will grab the digital signal. My experience is that I'd much rather listen to the TV than the radio around here for hurricane news.
I plan on getting my HDTV next Christmas. I figure I'll get as big as I can (1080p of course) for $1000, and call it quits. It my be time to retire the bedroom one too. 19 inchers aren't that much even today.
Less than 15% of the population still receive OTA signals. Even fewer live far enough away from broadcasting towers that they will actually lose signal AND cannot otherwise get satellite or cable.
Your 'many, many, many people' turn out to not be that many.
I don't know where you're getting these crazy figures.
Currently about 44.6 percent of U.S. households have broadband internet and the number that gets it from cable is around 70%.
Thus this '90% of the US has no access to broadband other than satellite' is hogwash.
@RvLeshrac: No more TV in the country?
This is not a bad thing. Radio, Internet, books, DVDs, that's what I go by. Someone once referred to television as the vast wasteland. Actually, it's more like a vast garbage dump.
The people out in the hinterland will start getting smarter then their urbanized cousins.
The number increases over time. The town in which my parents live *just* got broadband six months ago. 128k DSL. 128k. HIGH SPEED INTERNETS AWAY! There has to be a baseline for broadband, seriously. The service providers will call *anything* over dialup 'broadband' or 'high speed internet.' I seem to recall a few dialup providers referring to their caching and compression services as 'high speed.'
Less than 15%? That certainly explains why those analog broadcasting towers are simply *VANISHING* instead of being replaced with *OVER THE AIR DIGITAL* towers. Because companies are highly interested in the lucrative "spending tons of money to provide our service to people who don't use it" markets.
"128k DSL. 128k. HIGH SPEED INTERNETS AWAY! There has to be a baseline for broadband, seriously."
Lol. You have a point there. Some of that other 30% of those 44.6% have got to fall into that category.
As to the analog towers vanishing, is there an example? Digital broadcasting doesn't require any different tower design, most TV stations simply run the additional cabling and install a digital broadcast antenna on their existing tower. Many towers, however are already full of antennas for TV and radio stations, remote broadcast receivers and so on and have no more capacity for even one more. So about 5 years ago there were a record number of new digital broadcasting towers erected, since all TV stations have been required to broadcast digitally since 2002.
In neither case would the TV station take down their existing tower.
You see the point, though. If there wasn't a large market for it, broadcasters would stop broadcasting OTA instead of spending money on digital.
Actually, everyone should probably get one coupon for the times that the cable goes out, or if the satellite dish comes crashing down or stops working, or if you decide to quit cable or satellite and have to wait for the new provider to hook you up. There is no risk in receiving one coupon, and if it turns out that the boxes are not cheap enough, let it expire and request the other one (if they are still available) to buy the backup box.
This website you linked to is worthless, you can't request a coupon from it at all! When I did finally find the site to go to for requesting a coupon, all it ever said was that my session timed out and I should try again.

foam core or foam board - A strong, stiff, resilient, and lightweight board of polystyrene laminated with paper on both of its sides. It may be any of several thicknesses, in any of a variety of colors. It is often employed as a surface on which to mount two-dimensional work, and as a material with which to construct three-dimensional work (such as architectural models). Although more expensive than some other cardboards, it is preferred to them for many qualities, including the ease with which it can be cut. Make straight cuts by using an extremely sharp razor knife on top of a mat or other surface that will not be damaged. Draw the knife toward you along the edge of a metal ruler (with finger tips away from that path). Cuts at each of three successive depths will produce a neat edge to the board.
Also see adhesives, bristol board, carding, card stock, corrugated cardboard, matboard, oaktag, and packaging.
focal length - In photography, the distance between the lens (its rear nodal point) and the focal plane (the film's or paper's surface).
Also see aperture, camera, f/stop, telephoto, and wide-angle.
focal plane - In photography, an image line at right angle to the optical axis passing through the focal point. This forms the plane of sharp focus when a camera is set on infinity.
Also see aperture, camera, focal length, and f/stop.
focal point - The portion of an artwork's composition on which interest or attention centers. The focal point may be most interesting for any of several reasons: it may be given formal emphasis; its meaning may be controversial, incongruous, or otherwise compelling.
Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 1452-1519), The Last Supper, 1498, modified fresco, 15 x 29 feet (460 x 880 cm), Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie (Refectory), Milan. The overall setting is highly symmetrically balanced, its focal point the centrally placed figure of Christ. This is further balanced by the placement of six apostles to each side of Christ, even though each man's appearance is highly individualized. See cenacole and cenacolo and Renaissance.
Gianlorenzo Bernini (Italian, 1598-1680), Dove of the Holy Spirit, c. 1660.
This stained glass window is the dramatic focal point of The Throne of Saint Peter, 1657-66, marble, white and gilt stucco, and stained glass, overall height about 100 feet, Saint Peter's Basilica, Vatican, Rome.
The Throne is a huge Baroque sculptural composition behind the altar, in the apse of the basilica.
When walking toward the Throne of Saint Peter from the main entrance of the church, a viewer first sees its focal point as it is framed by Bernini's great Baldacchino, 1624-33.
See baldacchino.

focus - A point of convergence, such as the point at which rays of light converge in an optical system, or from which they diverge; also called focal point. The clarity of an image, such as when rendered by an optical system; or to make an image clear. The typical camera has a focus ring around its lens.

Also see definition, focal length, focal plane, gestalt, obsession, photography, refraction, and soft focus.
foil - A thin, flexible leaf or sheet of metal — e.g. aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and tin — often used alone or adhered (laminated) to surfaces of other materials, sometimes for packaging. Also, a thin layer of polished metal placed under a mounted gem to increase its brightness. And, a person or thing that by contrast emphasizes or enhances the distinctive qualities of another. In architecture, a curvilinear, often lobelike figure or space formed between the cusps of intersecting arcs, found especially in Gothic tracery and Moorish ornament. Although comparable to sheet metal, foil is invariably a much thinner material.
Also see a chart of steel sheet gauges, acetate color, jewelry, manufacture, quatrefoil, scissors, and trefoil.
fold - To bend over so that one part overlaps another part, moving from an extended to a closed position. Or, the act or an instance of folding — a line, layer, pleat, or crease formed by folding.
Egypt, c. 1365-1349 BCE (reign of Amenhotep IV-Akhenaton, 18th Dynasty), Body of Nefertiti (?), crystallised red sandstone, height 29 cm, Louvre. The ample but finely chiselled forms give it its originality. The generous proportions of the lower body are emphasized by the radiating folds of the costume, finely carved in red sandstone. often seen in representations of drapery.
Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528), Sechs Kissen (Six Pillows), 1493, ink on paper, 276 x 202 cm. Dürer produced this wonderful drawing, essentially a study of drapery, when he was twenty-two years old. See hatching and cross-hatching and Northern Renaissance.

Michel Witz the Younger (Austrian), Three-quarter armor for a nobleman, made in Innsbruck c.1550, Steiermärkisches Landesmuseum Joanneum, Graz, Austria. Michel Witz applied a niello decoration all over this armor to achieve a Baroque black and white design with grotesque masks on shoulders, elbows and knees, along with foliate motifs everywhere else. In addition, the armor has been embossed in part, a process whereby the metal was hammered and raised from within, producing a relief on the outside.
Howard Pyle (American, 1853-1911), page decoration for the "Seven O'Clock" chapter heading of his book, The Wonder Clock, 1887, a rinceau design in pen and ink. Howard Pyle founded the "Brandywine School" of illustration. Among Pyle's students were N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, Violet Oakley, Jessie Willcox Smith and Frank Schoonover.

fontography - The field of font design. A person who designs fonts is a fontographer.
Also see graphic design, letterform, and text.
foot - A supporting base on a vessel, chair leg, etc. Also, a unit of distance measurement equal to a third of a yard, or to twelve inches. To convert feet into meters, multiply them by 0.3048. To convert square feet into square meters, multiply them by 0.0929; into square yards, divide them by 9. To convert cubic feet into cubic inches, multiply them by 1728.0; into gallons (US dry), x 6.42851; gallons (US liquid), x 7.48052. Abbreviated ft. or with a ' (inches can be abbreviated in. or with a ").
Examples of feet in the first sense:
Egypt, Bowl with Human Feet, c. 3750-3550 BCE, possibly late Naqada I-early Naqada II, Predynastic period, ceramic, height 3 7/8 inches (9.8 cm), diameter 6 inches (15.3 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. Although this example is a humorously literal one, it may be misleading: typically the foot of a pot does not resemble feet! See Egyptian art.
China, Canton, Footed Bowl, late 18th, early 19th century, crackle-craze underglaze, off-white and blue, 2 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches, height of foot 1/2 inch. Enlargement of the inverted view. This was made expressly for export.
foreground - The area of a picture or field of vision, often at the bottom, that appears to be closest to the viewer. Also, to give priority to one aspect of a thing over another.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, The Luncheon of the Boating Party (Le déjeuner des canotiers), 1881, oil on canvas, 51 x 68 inches (129.5 x 172.7 cm), Phillips Collection, Washington, DC. This painting presents a still life in its foreground as a focal point of this fête galante. The Collection offers The Story Behind the Masterpiece. See genre.
foreshortening - A way of representing a subject or an object so that it conveys the illusion of depth — so that it seems to thrust forward or go back into space. Foreshortening's success often depends upon a point of view or perspective in which the sizes of near and far parts of a subject contrast greatly. Notice how the head and feet of the man on the phone differ in size. In the black and white hand, note how the shapes of fingers oriented to the side differ from the shape of the finger pointing toward you. The shadow below the foreshortened index finger also helps to convey the direction of this finger's placement.
More examples:
Paolo Uccello (Italian, c. 1396-1475), Battle of San Romano, c. 1450/60, London. Uccello used foreshortening when painting the figures, horses, and broken spears in this picture.
Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528), Draftsman of the Lute, 1525, from Albrecht Dürer, Unterweisung der Messung. Nuremberg, 1525, leaf Q3, woodcut, 5 1/8 x 7 1/4 inches, Getty Research Institute, Malibu, CA.
Lux Feininger (American, born Germany, 1910-), Clemens Röseler, c. 1928, gelatin silver print, 11.3 x 8.9 cm (4 7/16 x 3 1/2 inches), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. "The abrupt foreshortening caused by the acute perspective makes Roseler's head balloon upward from tiny feet, emphasizing his self-absorption and his cool detachment from the world."
Ralph M. Larmann (American, contemporary), Foreshortened Figure, 1998, computer-generated painting.
About foreshortening:
forge - A furnace or hearth, or workshop where metals are heated or wrought; a smithy. To heat and form metal this way.

forget and forgetting - To lose memory. Forgetting (like remembering) is key to the incubation (Getzel's third) stage in the creative process. At this stage, the artist must mull over the problem in a sort of chaos of ideas and knowledge (remembering), letting go of certainties (forgetting), as the artist engages the intuitive, non-sequential, or global thinking at the core of creativity.
Since before the twelfth century English speakers have employed the word "forget", but in 1815 a synonym for it — "disremember" — first appeared in print. A critic in the 1860s called "disremember" both "obsolete" and "a low vulgarism," and later strict grammarians have typically agreed. As it happens, "forget" is indeed the vastly more popular word, but "disremember" still turns up occasionally, often in dialectal or humorous contexts.
Also see déjà vu, destruction, placeholder, and Stendhal syndrome.
formal - Relating to the outward form or structure of a work; not to be confused with "ceremonial" or "stately," since formal elements can be quite informal in character.
Also see classicism, formal analysis, and formalism.
formal analysis - The study of a work of art with reference to its form, rather than to its content or context.
Also see formal and formalism.
formalism - An aesthetic and critical theory of art which places emphasis on form — the structural qualities instead of either content (sometimes called literal or allegorical qualities) or contextual qualities. According to this point of view, the most important thing about a work of art is the effective organization of the elements of art through the use of the principles of design. Also known as structuralism, in the 1960s and early 1970s formalism was so entrenched as the most powerful critical approach, that artists frequently produced works that were particularly attentive to it, and even now some think of modernism as more or less synonymous with formalism. Critic Clement Greenberg (see flat) is frequently cited as an instigating force, but formalism can be traced back through many artists, including J. A. M. Whistler (American, 1834-1903. See aestheticism, art for art's sake, and fin de siècle) to the philosopher Immanuel Kant.
Also see communication, deformalism, emotionalism, imitationalism, isms and -ism, meaning, Minimalism, subject, and viewer.
format - The color scheme, shape, and size of an image. Also see logo.
formication - An abnormal sensation which resembles that of having ants crawling on one's skin. This word is derived from a substance called formic acid, which is produced by ants. This has very little to do with visual culture, but the author is chronically drawn to such word formations as this one.
forum - A central gathering place for the citizens of a city — typically a square (plaza, Platz, etc.) and/or a marketplace. It was a typical feature of ancient Roman cities.
Also see acropolis.
found image, found material, or found object - An image, material, or object, not originally intended as a work of art, that is obtained, selected, and exhibited by an artist, often without being altered in any way. The cubists, dadaists, and surrealists originated the use of found images / materials / objects. Although it can be either a natural or manufactured image / material / object, the term readymade refers only to those which were manufactured. Also known in the French, objet trouvé.
Examples of works incorporating found materials:
Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973), Bottle of Vieux Marc, Glass, Guitar and Newspaper, 1913, collage and pen and ink on blue paper, 46.7 x 62.5 cm, Tate Gallery, London. Collages typically include found materials, and Picasso is credited with pioneering it. See Cubism and still life.
Kurt Schwitters (German, 1887-1948), Measure, 1932, drawing on previously printed paper, 15.7 x 12.5 cm, Tate Gallery, London. Schwitters started to produce images with found materials in the early 1920s. For Measure, Schwitters added some line drawing to a portion of a page he found in a magazine.

For this and many other sculptures, Chamberlain used junked automobile parts. Although he has also used other kinds of debris scavenged from the industrial environment, such as paper bags, urethane foam, and Plexiglas — he is best known for his lyrical, evocative assemblages of twisted, crushed metal.

four-dimensional - The fourth dimension is time. So a thing which is four-dimensional has height, width, depth, and moves, or otherwise changes over a period of time. Dance, theater, cinema, and videos exist in the first (height), second (width) and fourth dimensions. Comic strips, although experienced in the fourth dimension, as we experience everything over a period of time, do not themselves move. (In the fifth dimension, perhaps, might be all aspects metaphysical.)

foxing - A brownish yellow, patchy discoloration of paper caused by the action of mold on iron salts, which are present in most paper. Foxing usually results from high relative humidity — typically when a work is hung on a damp wall. To prevent foxing, mount, mat, and frame using only acid-free materials, keep glass away from the surface of the artwork, and place in a low-humidity environment. Foxing can be treated by a paper conservator, although it is unlikely to be removed entirely by standard cleaning treatments. Also called foxed.

Also see stain and stain removal.
fractal - A geometric pattern that is repeated at ever smaller scales to produce irregular shapes and/or surfaces that cannot be represented by classical geometry. Every part at every scale of a fractal mirrors the whole.
Discovered in the pursuit of chaos theory in the late twentieth century, fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures in nature.
Fractals are considered the tenth class of patterns.

frisket - A masking device or material used especially in airbrushing, in photography, in the graphic arts, and in printing. It often refers to a paper or film used to shield areas of an airbrush painting from spray, or printing paper from ink, or photographic paper from light.
On a hand-operated press, a frisket is a thin frame that keeps a sheet of paper in position and masks any portions not to be printed during the act of printing.

frottage - The technique of rubbing with crayon or graphite on a piece of paper which has been placed over an object, or an image achieved in this way. Also simply referred to as rubbing. Such impressions are usually made from such highly textured subjects as leaves, wood, wire screen, gravestones, and manhole covers. It was a technique especially employed by surrealists, one of whom, Max Ernst (German, 1891-1976), first introduced frottage in his works in 1925, often employing such rubbings as part of a collage, or combining frottage with painting techniques.

fugitive colors - Short-lived pigments and dye — capable of fading or changing, especially with exposure to light, to atmospheric pollution, or when mixed with certain substances; in each case the result of a chemical change. Examples are the colors in magazine photographs and inexpensive construction papers, especially the yellows, and then reds. While student works are generally forgiven the use of such inexpensive poor-quality pigments, professional artists' works are expected to be made with permanent pigments.

function - Refers to the intended use or purpose of an object. The term is often applied to manufactured products, particularly crafts, and when discussing designs for architecture. Though sometimes said to be non-functional, art is expected to function in various ways, including: to beautify, to adorn, to express, to illustrate, to mediate, to persuade, to record, to redefine reality, to redefine art, to provide therapy, to give unselfconscious experience, to provide paradigms of order and/or chaos, and to train perception of reality. Anything that is not functional is called nonfunctional. Often the decorative qualities of a thing are considered nonfunctional.

funk art - A term used loosely for art in which offensive subject matter is presented in order to offend, sometimes pornographically. It gained this association in the 1960s, when used to refer to such work produced in the San Francisco area. The word "funky", from which this term was derived, has older, wide-ranging meanings, including: having a moldy or unwashed odor; smoky or earthy qualities in music, as in the blues; self-expressive, original, and modish; unconventional, outlandishly vulgar or eccentric in a humorous or tongue-in-cheek manner; campy.
Also see aesthetic, bad art, beauty, fumage, grotesque, kitsch, obscene, and ugly.
fusain - Fine charcoal in stick form, made from the wood of a spindle tree. [Do you know if this is the same or different from what is called "willow" or "vine" or "lime" charcoal? Please tell me how you know. - email ] The wood is dried and carbonized in an airtight container. The duration of its burning determines its hardness — a longer period makes it softer. A fusain can also be a sketch or drawing made with this charcoal, often either as a finished work on paper, or as a drawing over which an artist will paint. Fusains must be fixed. This English word was absorbed from the French, who had adopted the Latin word for spindle, fusus.

Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Prometrium
WARNING: Progesterone is sometimes used with another medication (a type of estrogen) as combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women after menopause. Combination HRT can rarely cause very serious side effects such as heart disease (e.g., heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots (e.g., in the lungs and legs), dementia, and breast cancer. Some of these risks appear to depend on the length of treatment and other factors. Therefore, combination HRT should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so you can obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Combination HRT should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment and your personal health history with your doctor. If you take combination HRT, check with your doctor regularly (e.g., every 3-6 months) to see if you still need to take it.
If you use this medication for an extended period, you should have a complete physical exam at regular intervals (e.g., once a year) or as directed by your doctor. See Notes section.
USES: Progesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to restore normal menstrual periods that have stopped for several months (amenorrhea).
Progesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Progesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus.
This medication is not for use in children.
Progesterone must not be used to test for pregnancy.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This drug may also be used to maintain pregnancy.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this drug and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth, usually once a day at bedtime or as directed by your doctor. If you have trouble swallowing the pills, take with a full glass of water while standing up.

Even as he works to clear Lamont Peterson's name, a camp representative denies that the fighter has been formally stripped of the WBA's junior welterweight title he won from Amir Khan in December as a result of his failed drug test in March, claiming that Peterson's status as the organization's "champion in recess" allows room for him to contend for the crown.
"Some folks out there have reported that the WBA has stripped Lamont of his title, and that's not true," said Peterson's publicist, Andre Johnson.
"Lamont is what they [WBA] have called a champion in recess…Lamont will have his opportunity to finalize his medical review and defend his title."
Khan (26-3, 18 knockouts), who lost a split decision and his WBA and IBF titles to Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KOs), had a scheduled May 19 rematch with Peterson, of Washington, D.C., cancelled after Peterson tested positive for the banned substance testosterone.
On July 12, four days prior to Khan's HBO-televised fourth-round knockout loss to WBC titleholder Danny Garcia (24-0, 15 KOs) at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the WBA declared that it was re-instating Khan as its beltholder and named Peterson its "champion in recess."
Garcia, who earned the WBC 140-pound title by outpointing Erik Morales in March, also won THE RING belt against Khan, in accordance with a recent move made by the magazine's Editorial Board.
"The World Championships Committee of the World Boxing Association officially announced today its decision to reinstate the British boxer Amir Khan as Super Champion who may be able to unify title with Danny Garcia on Saturday July 14. This decision was taken after the positive doping result of the American Lamont Peterson, confirmed by the medical experts," read the WBA's statement.
"The WBA rules that states that no boxer has tested positively for prohibited substances can be rated, retain a title, or be permitted to fight in a sanctioned bout for a period of no less than six months from the date of the positive test has been enforced. Given the circumstances, Peterson's status is champion in recess and it is subject to revision."
Johnson contends that the "revision" is in the process of being tested by the fighter, who still is providing medical information to the WBA in order to contest his positive drug test.
"We're going to rectify all of this," said Johnson, "so that Lamont can get back to doing what he loves to do."
Both the WBA and the IBF had been reviewing Khan's status in response to letters sent by Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer requesting that the sanctioning bodies "rule the fight a no-contest," and, asked "re-instate Amir Khan as their champion."
Peterson-Khan still is to be examined by the IBF, whose President, Daryl Peoples, informed RingTV.com last week that it has received Peterson's medical records for review and determine whether Peterson should retain the belt or be stripped.
Peoples said that the information was submitted by lawyers Adisa Bakari and Michael Hepburn of Dow Lohnes Sports and Entertainment, based in Washington, D.C.
"We're also working on providing the IBF with additional medical information to move forward with the title defense there as well. We just want people to know where we stand," said Johnson.
"We're still in the process of conducting a thorough medical review. We hope to have the complete results in the next few days. This medical review has been going on for a couple of months now, and Lamont has seen about 12 or 13 different doctors."
Peterson's legal counsel has also asked for a postponement to August of its originally scheduled July 9 meeting with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, whose executive director, Keith Kizer, received the request from one of Peterson's lawyers, Peter Bernard, on June 27.
"The Nevada State Athletic Commission has allowed us time to conduct our medical review," said Johnson of Peterson, who can not be licensed until he appears before the commission. "Lamont wants to keep the sport clean. He never took anything to gain an advantage or a competitive edge or to enhance his performance."
Peterson admitted to using testosterone in November prior to facing Khan, claiming it was for medical reasons. Peterson had a "testosterone pellet" surgically implanted into his hip by Las Vegas-based Dr. John Thompson on Nov. 12 of last year after he was diagnosed with an abnormally testosterone level.
"With Lamont, we're dealing with a medical issue, and we'll have more information to come soon," said Johnson. "That information will be available within days."
Peterson and Khan contractually agreed to have their blood and urine randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), whose president and founder is Margaret Goodman.
Goodman informed Kizer that Peterson's "urine specimen … was collected on March 19" and that its test results were "consistent with the administration of an anabolic steroid such as testosterone."
In an interview with RingTV.com, Peterson said that he passed the pre-fight urine test conducted by the Washington D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Athletic Commission before facing Khan. D.C. commission director, Scottie Irving, has maintained that he has no official comment.

How To - OWSM and WLS WS-Security Interop - 11g
By Prakash Yamuna-Oracle on Mar 13, 2012
Here is another How To that provides a detailed step by step guide for getting OWSM to Interop with WLS WS-Security using the Username Token with message protection policy.
Happy Reading!
A few things I forgot before I posted this entry:
- The OWSM interop guide provides a high level overview of the steps involved in achieving this interop - however it does not provide a detailed step by step instructions and so I thought I would provide a more detailed How To for customers who are having problems following the interop guide. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e16098/interop_wls.htm#BABCCHIJ
- As the doc makes it clear you only need to configure the "Confidentiality Key" - however in the How To I cover configuring both "Confidentiality and Signing Key". You can safely skip the steps relating to configuring the "Signing Key".
- I have simplified things to a large extent in terms of the keystore setup. This setup is not always practical from a production setup perspective. However since I have not had a chance to post more on keystores, credential stores, etc - I have tried to keep it simple here. I hope to post more on the topic of Keystores, certificates, credentials, credential stores, etc in a future post.

Has Been Ongoing For Years, DeLauro Demands Answers
WASHINGTON, DC—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) is asking the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for details about the department's use of advisory committees. Today's Federal Register notice highlights how USDA has dramatically reduced the number of in-person audits of foreign food safety systems without sufficient public notice. In November 2012, DeLauro asked the department for answers about the process described in today's Federal Register notice. To date that letter has gone unanswered.
"Alarmingly, it seems that FSIS fundamentally changed the process used to assess ongoing equivalency with our trade partners without publishing a single public notice..." DeLauro wrote in a letter sent today. "I am concerned that this process also highlights FSIS' indifference to the advisory committees…established by Congress to advise USDA on food safety policy."
DeLauro is a senior member of the subcommittee that funds USDA and is a champion of protecting the safety of our food supply.
The full letter is as follows:
January 25, 2013
Secretary Tom Vilsack
U.S. Department of Agriculture
1400 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20250
Dear Secretary Vilsack,
I write today out of concern related to both the process used to ensure the safety of imported meat and poultry products and, as disconcerting, the use of advisory committees by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Earlier today, the department published a notice in the Federal Register (docket number FSIS-2012-0049) related to the process used for ongoing verification of equivalence of foreign food regulatory systems. As you know, this system is imperative to ensuring that foreign regulatory systems provide the same level of protection of the public health as our domestic system. It helps make certain that imported meat and poultry products are safe and wholesome, thus building public trust.
Alarmingly, it seems that FSIS fundamentally changed the process used to assess ongoing equivalency with our trade partners without publishing a single public notice in the Federal Register on the revisions or seeking public comment on the proposed changes. It appears that the agency has been implementing and refining these changes for several years. Yet, a July 2011 document from FSIS entitled "Process for Evaluating the Equivalence of Foreign Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products Food Regulatory Systems" failed to explicitly note these changes. Pages 13 through 17 of that document discuss 'equivalence verification' but fail to clearly disclose that the agency was using the process announced in today's notice.
Further, these changes were not clearly disclosed nor discussed in the Fiscal Year 2010, 2011, 2012, or 2013 Congressional Justification documents that accompanied the Administration's budget request. The most to be found in the justification documents seems to be the description of the on-site verification audits: "annual" (Fiscal Year 2009, 2010, 2011) to "periodic" (Fiscal Year 2012, 2013) and a sentence on the Self Reporting Tool in Fiscal Year 2013. As Chair of the House Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies until January 2011 and an active member since then, I cannot overstate the value of those justifications as we make informed decisions during the appropriations process.
I am concerned this process also highlights FSIS' indifference to the advisory committees, including the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI), established by Congress to advise USDA on food safety policy. The agency consulted NACMPI in August 2008 on the process used to verify equivalency. Based on public records of NACMPI meetings between August 2008 and December 2012, FSIS failed to update the public and the committee on the agency's changes to the process used to verify equivalence. As a November 2012 Food Safety News article noted, "the number of countries audited…each year has declined by more than 60 percent since 2008." Such a dramatic change should surely warrant clear communication with the panel of external experts that advise the department on meat and poultry inspection.
As distressing as this is on its own, I am as concerned that this represents a disappointing new practice. For many years, NACMPI met twice a year (1999-2006; 2008), providing input on food safety policies and receiving updates from the agency. The committee did not meet in 2009 and has only met once a year since 2010. In 2012, the sole meeting was held via an internet conference call. Furthermore, NACMPI was not consulted on the specifics of the department's proposed poultry modernization rule, which represented a substantial change to the agency's poultry inspection program, until the Committee's March 2012 meeting, months after the proposal had been published for comment.
As such, I ask that you respond to the following questions by close of business on Monday, February 25, 2013. I also ask that you provide a detailed timeline of FSIS' work on equivalency verification between the NACMPI meeting in August 2008 and today's Federal Register notice.
· Will the agency publish a risk assessment on the changes to the equivalence verification process announced in today's Federal Register notice? If so, when will the risk assessment be published? If not, why is a risk assessment not warranted?
· Have the changes announced in the Federal Register today affected the department's budget for the international food safety and inspection responsibilities of FSIS? If so, please detail the budgetary impact.
· In what ways does FSIS utilize the expertise of its external advisory committees to inform its policy decisions on contemporary food safety issues? When does the agency believe is the best time to seek input from its advisory committees in its policy development process?
· NACMPI is managed by the FSIS Office of Outreach, Employee Education and Training while the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is managed by the Office of Public Health Science. Why are the two advisory committees overseen by different offices within FSIS? Specifically, why is NACMPI managed by the Office of Outreach?
· How does FSIS ensure that both advisory committees are utilized as scientific resources to help inform department policy, not to learn of department policy after changes are made?
Thank you for your continued leadership in protecting the public health. I look forward to our continued work together to ensure the integrity of the equivalency process and the appropriate utility of FSIS advisory committees.
ROSA L. DeLAURO
Member of Congress
Cc: Dr. Elisabeth Hagen, Under Secretary for Food Safety
