Borgo Pio, or more fondly known as 'the Borgo', is the tiny, medieval neighborhood just adjacent to Vatican City. The area was redeveloped in the early Renaissance period for pope and patrician-owned homes, creating today's picturesque enclave. Primarily pedestrian, the Borgo has a continual flow of visitors thanks to its proximity to the Vatican. The intimate Borgo area is a small enclave immediately east of the Vatican. The Tiber River is its eastern border. Important landmarks in the area are the Passetto, the long, above-ground passageway connecting the Vatican to Castel Sant'Angelo (another excellent point of reference), and Palazzo della Giustizia, the Italian higher court building, at Piazza Cavour. As stated above, the Vatican is the Borgo's western border, noted by the large dome of St. Peter's Cathedral. To its north is Prati, a lovely, turn-of-the-century residential neighbourhood. To its south is Trastevere, a vivacious hangout with Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere as its centre. Borgo Pio is easily connected to the centre of Rome, as it just a bridge's crossing away. Borgo Pio may be more difficult for getting to know your neighbours, as the area is replete with tourists during daylight hours. However, there are several local shops and small businesses, especially on the eastern side of the area. Borgo Pio has limited shopping options, and most would suggest heading to Prati's Via Cola di Rienzo where you will find food markets, clothing and interior stores, cafés and home goods. However, keep your eyes open as you meander Borgo Pio's tiny streets, as there are several quaint boutiques from bicycles to haberdashery. For souvenir shoppers, around and immediately south of Via della Concilizione are several of Rome's best souvenir shops, both religious and secular. Borgo Pio is in a very convenient location, easily linked to all areas by foot, bus or metro. From Borgo, you can easily walk to the Vatican, Piazza del Popolo and the historic centre. ATAC, Rome's public transportation system, has extensive bus, tram and metro connections. Buses 23, 81, 280, 271, 490, 492 connect to the Stadium, Ponte Milvio, Monte Mario, Centre, Testaccio, Janiculum, Piazza Venezia, Villa Borghese, and Tiburtina and Termini stations. Bus hubs can be found at Porta Pia/Via della Conciliazione. In addition, you are within walking distance of Piazza Risorgimento, in Prati, with a bus and tram hub. Tram 19 connects to Villa Borghese and Nomentana, with links to Auditorium and San Lorenzo.

This elegant piece of jewelry from Katie Hacker uses a collection of beads for a modern and classic look. The choker is very simple and great for a fancy night out.
- Lengths of 20# test Beadalon hemp cord: one 1 1/2-yard, one 20"
- Three 12mm turquoise/red/blue furnace glass beads
- Four 10mm round blue glass beads
- Eight blue glass pony beads
- Six 6mm round silver spacer beads
- Two spring cord ends silver large lobster clasp
- Silver extension chain
- Beadstorm™ Chain Nose Pliers
- Designer Scissors
- Clipboard or large safety pin
- Hold the hemp pieces together in the center place them inside a coiled cord end. Use chain nose pliers to flatten one or two rings on the cord end to hold it in place. Use a large safety pin to attach the loop to a pillow or clip the loop to a clipboard to use for a work surface. Arrange the strands so the long strands are on the outside and the short strands are on the inside.
- Use the outside strands to tie half knots for 2 3/4" around the inside strands. A half knot is the same knot you make when tying shoes (see diagram).
- String a light blue round bead onto the inside strands and use the outside strands to tie a square knot. To make a square knot: first, tie a half knot. Next, tie another half knot in the opposite direction (see diagram). String the following beads onto the inside strands, using the outside strands to tie a square knot between each bead: metal bead, crow bead, furnace glass bead, crow bead, metal bead.
- Repeat Step 3 until all of the beads are strung, then tie half knots for 2 3/4." Trim the cord ends to 1/4" and attach a coiled cord end. Attach a clasp to one end of the necklace and an extension chain to the other end.
Tip: When choosing beads for macrame, be sure to select beads that have large enough holes for the cords to pass through.

Web series 'Darkcasting' bows today
The latest hybrid from Lexus won't roll into dealerships until next year, but the luxury automaker is already fielding a slate of branded entertainment properties to attract younger buyers to the car.
The latest, "Darkcasting," bows today and features comedian Whitney Cummings as the host of a talkshow set inside the CT 200h, Lexus' fifth hybrid in its lineup.
The Web series will feature local influencers, such as chefs, models, DJs and entrepreneurs in six cities, including New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami and New Orleans.
Guests include social media expert Brian Solis; DJ Q-Bert; soul singer Goapele; exec chef Matt Accarrino of San Francisco's SPQR; comedian and the Onion's Web editor Baratunde Thurston; DJ Harley Viera-Newton; and chef Carlo Mirarchi of Roberta's in Brooklyn.
Concept is designed to present a sort of test drive for the viewer: Cummings interviews each guest as they steer the compact car through their own stomping grounds.
Lexus has had to be a little more creative in how it promotes its new hybrid considering it doesn't have enough of the vehicles to show off to potential buyers in person yet. While the car was officially unveiled last March, it won't be available to purchase until February.
So the carmaker's turned to branded entertainment as a way to put a spotlight on the car and come up with ways to put consumers inside the car without a hard sell — while appealing to more than just car fans.
"We were faced with filling a year to make people believe that they knew something about the car without seeing the car," said Brian Bolain, marketing strategy manager for Lexus. "At the end of the day, we've chosen this entertainment approach because most people have to purchase a car but not everybody is a car person."
"Darkcasting" follows this summer's interactive short film "Dark Ride," starring Norman Reedus, which enabled viewers to sit in the passenger seat and control camera angles as the plot's chase sequences took place.
"With 'Darkcasting,' we're providing a mobile studio from which an entertaining talkshow will take place against a moving cityscape," said Lexus VP of marketing Dave Nordstrom.
Lexus turned to Cummings, who landed a pilot deal with NBC last month for a romantic comedy, as part of its overall "Darker Side of Green" campaign that is designed around introducing "green with an edge," Bolain said. It also aims to break any preconceived notions about hybrids, such as that the driving experience is not as engaging as that of a regular gas-fueled vehicle.
"We're playing with ways to introduce the car — challenging content formats and marketing platforms," Nordstrom said. "It's fun for us as a brand because there is nothing else like it in our portfolio."

The fact that the IDF goes around killing indiscriminately when operating in Palestine, is no new news. It happens -- not necessarily widespread -- but it happens. That top Israeli commanders would order their soldiers to shoot certain people on-site, is not new -- heck, Mossad went to great lengths to assassinate a Hamas official in Dubai. This shit happens.
Of course, having it happen, and pretending that it's all rumour, is quite different than having proof that it has happened, and that it was premeditated. That's the case right now with an Israeli journalist, Anat Kamm, under house arrest, for reporting on state secrets that would reveal Israeli commanders to have ordered shooting on-site of top Palestinian fighters in the West Bank.
There are those that would argue that the publishing of state secrets is a crime -- should be punished, and should be prevented. But, in a practising democracy, where is the line drawn between what the citizens are allowed to know -- and what they should trust their government for knowing what's good for them? Why should a government hide its actions from its own people? Unless there is an imminent military operation that would be put in jeopardy, the only reason a state would have to hide something, is if it was illegal and would cause embarrassment. The only reason to hide the truth, would be to protect individuals who operate on behalf of the people. It's wrong, no matter where it is practised.
"Specifically, Blau's article cited a confidential defense ministry document from March 2007 which included an order from Maj. Gen. Yair Naveh, then Israel's senior commander in the West Bank, permitting the IDF to shoot three top Islamic Jihad members even if they did not pose a clear and present danger."

Northwest NEWS
ovember 11, 2002
Where's the incentive for efficiency?
(Copy of a letter sent to the King County Council concerning the King County Dept. of Development and Environmental Services (DDES)
As an audience member said at the Sept. 30th joint Unincorporated Areas Community Councils' meeting in Woodinville, "At $132/hour there's no incentive for efficiency."
But there is unlimited incentive for increasing personnel and regulations, especially for sensitive areas and their buffers, where fees can be increased by 50%.
1. For clearing and grading, base charges are divisible by $181.50 an hour, rather than the $132/hour used elsewhere. Why the excess charge?
2. The "one percent surcharge. . . (to be charged) on the total charges for the permit. . . for code maintenance functions" looks like double billing. I was previously told that the hourly fee covers overhead as well as travel time and on-site time. And don't let's forget the Counter Service Fee, Application Review Fees, etc. etc. The one percent surcharge should be eliminated.
3. The $33-fee-plus-hourly-charges for single family temporary erosion control and drainage inspections should be paid from our surface water management water runoff fees, which increased on our 2002 real estate taxes bills from $85.02 to $102 in the unincorporated county areas for single family homes. Support fish habitat from other than SWM fees.
4. Just for travel time it'll take an hour for a permit to cut a hazardous tree, plus the time on-site and plus office time, meaning close to $300 for a hazardous tree cutting permit. And of course doubling the charges for those clearing without a permit is especially significant in view of previous shock registered by one of you at the very thought of even needing a permit to cut a hazardous tree.
5. Agricultural activities charges go from $55/hour with a $350 cap to an uncapped standard hourly charge (currently $132/hour plus 50% for sensitive areas and their buffers.) The current head of the ag commission had heard nothing of this as of last week. Reduced fees were and incentive for ag production in King County.
6. Another incentive for the transfer of development rights was removed: the $550 cap on fees.
7. The payment time for DDES invoices has been reduced from 30 days to 15 days, with an 18% penalty kicking in after 15 days. This is unseemly. The 30 days should remain unchanged. (And the 18% penalty kick-in should be highlighted to catch attention.) (p. 3)
8. Uniform fire code reviews should be done and paid for by our local fire department taxes, as is already done for cities. King County is double-billing us and duplicating services. (pp. 10-17)
9. Inconspicuously added is an hourly fee for King County's Department of Transportation. But that is not mentioned on the title page as it should be. This is a Tim Eyman issues - too many subjects. DOT fees should be set separately.
10. It's misleading to refer to $132/hour in this ordinance, since the 1-1-03 effective date sets the fee at $138.60/hour.
11. The DDES Copy Charge Schedule Worksheet shows $23.14 an hour for Staff Cost Charges. What exorbitant salaries are being paid to supervisors to justify $138.60/hour on 1-1-03? Especially considering that the public at large also pays a share of DDES costs, since the public at large benefits from DDES and its confiscatory regulations.
It looks like a way to allow King County to spend the bulk of our taxes on criminals, while charging productive individuals an arm and a leg to support off-budget county departments. It allows Mr. Sims to cut his offices' budget by transferring his personnel to DDES knowing that wages and benefits and overhead are amply provided for.

Claudia's Canine Cuisine is voluntarily recalling two varieties of its hound cakes because of potential mold contamination, the FDA announced this week.
The cakes include the company's Dogcandy brand of Holiday Hound Cake and Blueberry Hound Cakes. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, they were sold at about 130 PetSmart stores nationwide, including in Oregon.
The recall applies only to 7.5-ounce bags and includes:
- Claudia's Canine Cuisine Dogcandy holiday hound cake (UPC 692614010041) with a best-by date of 08/2015.
- Claudia's Canine Cuisine Dogcandy blueberry hound cake (UPC 692614010058) with a best-by date of 08/2015.
The cakes were made specifically for PetSmart. They are being recalled after mold was found on several cakes after they were delivered to stores, a result of being packaged while still warm.
The company hasn't received any reports of illness associated with the cakes.
If you bought one, you can return it to any PetSmart store for a full refund. You can also send it to Claudia's Canine Cuisine, 100 Four Paws Lane, Maumelle, AR, 72113, and request a refund or replacement. Shipping fees will also be reimbursed.
If you have any questions, call Claudia's Canine Cuisine at 501-851-0002 between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. PST or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

French Way
The French Way (Galician: Camiño Francés, Spanish: Camino Francés) is the most popular of the routes of the Way of St. James (Spanish: Camino de Santiago), the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. It runs from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles on the Spanish side and then another 780km on to Santiago de Compostela through the major cities of Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León. A typical walk on the Camino Francés takes at least four weeks, allowing for one or two rest days on the way. Some travel the Camino on bicycle or on horseback.
Paths from the cities of Tours, Vézelay, and Le Puy-en-Velay meet at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. A fourth French route originates in Arles, in Provence, and crosses the French–Spanish frontier at a different point, between the Pyrenees towns of Somport and Canfranc. This fourth route follows the Aragonese Way and joins the main Way of St. James at Puente la Reina, south of Pamplona, in Navarre, about 700 kilometres from Santiago de Compostela.

Middle Sister wines is for those women out there who want a little fun in the glass – made by women who are having a ball making wines that are directly aimed at being a "daily drinker". The two most popular white grapes from California are Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio so this review will take a closer look at the "Drama Queen" and "Smarty Pants".
"Smarty Pants" Chardonnay – W.E.P. Rating: 85%
Technical Data:
- Grapes: 76% Chardonnay / 24% "mixed white grapes"
- Alcohol: 13%
- Stainless Fermented
- Residual Sugar: .80 g/100ml
- Price: $12
Nose: Toasted cantelope, banana peel, grapefruit and a nice hint of chalk-dust.
Taste: Solid fruit up front, the melons, banana's and an almost tropical note are very evident to me. A good transition across the mid palate that has a smidgen of acids pick things up towards the end, however, not quite as much as I'd like.
"Drama Queen" Pinot Grigio – W.E.P. Rating: 90%
Technical Data:
- Grapes: 76% Pinot Grigio/ 12% Chenin Blanc / 12% Chardonnay
- Alcohol: 13%
- Stainless Fermented
- Residual Sugar: .80 g/100ml
- Price: $12
Nose: Cantelope, honeydew and some nice hints of jasmine, lime and lemons.
Taste: Lemons, kiwi, white grapefruit, and a smidgen of jasmine. Good fruit component on the front-end – the melons start picking up across the mid palate and showcase a slight touch of vanilla and cantaloupe on the finish.

Livestock Guardian and Family Protection Dogs
At Natural Born Guardians, we strive to provide exceptional Turkish Boz and Kangal dogs to our buyers. Our puppies are sold with a written contract to protect both the buyer and seller, and include registration to the Turkish Boz Breed Association (TBBA), first shots and worming (and potentially more depending on age at time of pick-up or shipping), a ancestral pedigree for your records, and continued support from Natural Born Guardians as your puppy develops and grows. Our puppies are guaranteed not only to be in good health and free of genetic diseases, but we also provide an exchange replacement policy with each of our puppies to ensure complete satisfaction on the buyer's part. The last thing I want is for one of my dogs to be in a situation that does not fit them, or for one of them to be in a job they are not suited for. I will make every effort to ensure you have the dog you need for your situation.
Turkish Boz and Kangal Shepherd puppies need a purpose, whether it be a herd or flock to guard, or family to interact with daily. These dogs DO NOT do well, nor do we support or condone, long-term kenneling or isolation, as it negatively affects both their mental and physical development. They are natural livestock guardians, and like all LGDs, become deeply attached to their owners and livestock, needing those bonds to develop as well-adjusted, happy, healthy dogs. Boz and Kangal Shepherds are extremely powerful dogs, who require an owner that is both willing and able to care for their needs, and socialize them properly. A puppy will not be sold to anyone that is not prepared to care for this type of dog.
I am dedicated to the dogs first, and the customer second.
Note: Shipping will run $500 if Continental Cargo services your airport, and $590 for most other Cargo Carriers. Pick-ups are welcome and encouraged.
Please view our "Testimonials" page to hear firsthand accounts of our breeding program and our exceptional dogs.

In 1912, the U.S. was given over 3,000 cherry blossom trees as a gift from Japan to celebrate international friendship. What began as an annual ceremony honoring the exchange has now become "the nation's greatest springtime celebration."
Washington, D.C.'s National Cherry Blossom Festival (NCBF) sees hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to enjoy the sight of West Potomac Park engulfed in pink. The 2013 festival will take place from March 20 to April 14, allowing visitors to take part in numerous daily events, most of which are free to enjoy. Some of these include: jazz concerts and martial arts at the Jefferson Memorial, a very lively parade, kite-flying tricks and competitions, a fantastic fireworks display, cherry-inspired munchies and cocktails by D.C.'s top chefs at the Pink Tie Party, and, of course, the largest Japanese cultural festival in the country (note: most events are only on set days, so be sure to plan accordingly if there's something specific that catches your fancy). Photographers may want to bring their good cameras, as the festival is the perfect nature-made opportunity to capture Earth at its pinkest.
If you want to time your visit perfectly, keep checking the predictions for the "peak bloom date" on the event site – you can even check the city's Cherry Blossom webcam. Dogs are allowed in the National Mall and Memorial Parks, but they must be kept on a leash (and no territory-marking in the Reflecting Pool, Fido).
Fun fact? Cherry blossom tree leaves/blossoms are edible. In Japan they are pickled and dunked in hot water to be sipped like tea. There are some toxins, though, so no binging on an entire tree at your next picnic – and don't try this at the festival!

How to Learn About Yourself
Reader Comments (25)
This is officially the best Basic Instructions ever. *EVER*
That's hard to argue with, given that my wife might read this...
How can I say this gently...oh, what the hell. What you've learned isn't that all women are really smart, but that some men are really dumb.
First thoughts:
"How does a server flirt? I mean its just a coputer?....."
@Anne: "Knowing how to exploit the dumbness of others" is a key form of intelligence.
Saying we're really smart will get you better service, mister.
Correction: *Many* men are really dumb ;)
My thoughts as I read:
Panel 1 wins. No! Wait! Now I've read panel 2. Wow! Panel 3's better. Dang it...panel 4 is perfect in its comedic insight. Time to change the comic in my cubicle.
On a side note, I never tip a waitress who makes me uncomfortable, with the exception of the one who explained bone peircings. Anyone willing to risk a group of people vomiting in a restaurant deserves a tip.
I got a 7 inch tablet computer and started wearing it on a neck cord, inside an adapted book cover. Only then did I notice this made people very uncomfortable. So I stuck tape over the camera lens, which I mostly don't use anyway. Now it doesn't make people uncomfortable, except my sister, who won't be seen with me when I wear the thing. My point is, servers are unlikely to perform unwanted flirting if you have Google Glasses, or have glasses that look like Google Glasses, or anything that looks like a camera or a recording device. Probably anything with a small LED will work, preferably white or blue. That clip-on LED bookmark, for instance. Or, just speak clearly and distinctly and unnaturally, as though for the best recording. But, don't do this in a restaurant that is a front for organised crime. They could take it way too seriously.
So the trick is to feel no shame. Got it!!
flirt or not, i tip on the service, "oh flirt with me and my glass is empty(and i don't get a refill), great job, your tip will be lower"
There are male servers in the world. I've seen them flirt with customers for higher tips as well.
I think the key here is that when you pay people a sub-minimum wages (tipped minimum wage is $2.13 an hour), the smart ones learn to do what ever it takes to get tips to survive.
It's so rare to see Mullet Boss have intelligent points in an argument and know what he's talking about. Kind of uncomfortably weird, actually.
So, Mullet-Boss feels "shame"? Wow, next thing you know, he might start feeling empathy.
A waitress has to instantly add up bills and coins left, and factor this against the original bill to arrive at the percentage tipped, then rate her flirt methods employed on this diner against the relative gain/loss of the tactics to arrive at future optimum behavior.
Smart?…they have to be brilliant!
Women are looking for one man who will meet their every need. Men are looking for every women to meet their one need. Women therefore exploit men's one need to meet their own every need. And vice versa.
I work in a retail (mostly clothing) store. Women ask me to open the dressing rooms all day long, which usually involves a lot of walking and fumbling with keys. I find no reason for complaint.
Let me put that another way.
All day long, women inform me that they wish to take their clothes off, and ask if I can help them do so.
Yes. Yes, I can.
"All right! I've got a blusher!"
I had to stop for a while and just chuckle.
Great comic
Directed at Anne: It's more than just a matter that some men are really dumb. If the contents of this comic are true, it implies that women are really good at determining what kind of dumb the men they're serving are.
It'S weird he's discussing this with his boss. And it's insightful.
Great strip, but ...
"The server, she kept flirting with me." What does the word 'she' add to that sentence? This is an example of poor grammar that seems to be spreading like a virus. I hear it every day, especially from news reporters: "A witness, he said ..." instead of "A witness said ..."
I'm not sure which is worse, the redundant pronoun or the "double 'is' ": (e.g., "The problem is, is that ...")
This English major has had it up to here with such sloppiness.
... and you kids get off my lawn!
Note from Scott: It made it clear that the server was female, and helped sell the idea that I was upset by the experience. It's clear you feel that word choice was a mistake. I just want it clear that it was a deliberate choice, not laziness. Whether that's actually better or worse is your decision.
I've had friends who waitressed. They soon learned that the myth that women are lousy tippers is just that. Men tip for sex, women tip for service, and women are more likely to give some slack for slow service if the restaurant is crowded and they can see the waitress is working hard, not just flirting at one table, while men each want their waitress to give them more attention than the rest of the area.
The way to get a female client to stiff you on the tip is to flirt with all the men and ignore the women, leaving them waiting twice as long for service.
The one customer every waitress dreads is the young man on a date; if he re-checks the menu after his date orders, and then orders for himself, he's calculating exactly how much he can afford.
Problem is, most of these guys forget about the tax, so when they're done paying the bill, they have pocket change left for the tip.
Waitresses have to be fast with math, have great social skills, the patience of a saint, nice big tits, and lots of insight into the human psyche.
Lacking all of these except some math, I became a construction worker.
"...Problem is, most of these guys forget about the tax..."
Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if your menus just had the actual price of stuff and waiting staff were paid a proper salary? In my few years on the 'net I've seen thousands of grizzles from Americans about tipping. FFS, just abolish the practice.
@Doug - Scott already pointed it out. However, I figure a bit more context wouldn't hurt. Unlike many languages, English lacks gender identifiers outside of our pronouns. So when you say server the listener doesn't know if it was a male server or a female server. In many languages there are articles or the ilk that are used to declare the gender of the subject. Le and La in french for example.
Since English lacks such articles we do the what Scott did in order to specify the subjects gender. He couldn't just leave off the word server since that would cut out important information. And cutting off the gender pronoun also would leave out important information. It is true that the server's gender could be found out through the rest of the dialogue and as such one could decide that it isn't necessary to put the information up front. The issue is though that this comic mirrors a conversation and when conversing you are not looking at the conversation as a whole since you don't yet know what the whole of the conversation is. Thus, you front load all relevant information in order to avoid any confusion. In this instance the fact that the server was female was relevant and as such would be front loaded in a casual conversation in some manner or another. Of course there are other ways to front load it, but this method tends to be the most succinct.
As for the comic. I loathe tipping. So it is a good thing I don't go to restaurants that require such. But I can say that having to tip would make me mega uncomfortable even without flirting. Flirting would just compound matters and I would likely run out screaming and pulling out my hair. And then I would get mobbed for leaving without tipping. Or at least publicly shamed.
@Simes, thoroughly agreed. Tipping isn't going anywhere, because it is a nasty little three-way conspiracy in which each party gets (or thinks he gets) something for nothing. (Default English pronoun used in lip service to the grammar maven who doesn't understand the informal constructions in colloquial English)
The employer gets to pay his workers less than minimum wage, stiff the government on payroll taxes, and pretend with some success that his prices are lower than they actually are.
The waiter bets that he can make more in tips than he is being taxed for, and figures that this will make up for the low wage he earns.
The customer gets to pretend his meal costs less than it does, and if money runs low, he can always stiff the waiter and get away with it.
It will take a mighty force of will indeed to overcome such a conspiracy, and I see no signs of any such thing happening (the War On Labor* having been fought and won over the past generation or so).
*Labor lost.
Does this tactic still work when the genders are reversed? In other words, can male servers do this trick to female customers?

The clinical features of coronary obstruction are fairly generally known. The character and distribution of the pain associated with definite changes in the cardiac findings constitute a clinical picture that is rarely unrecognized by those familiar with the condition. This case is of particular interest because of the congenital absence of the left coronary artery.
—S. B., a man, aged 46, was admitted to the University Hospital, May 26, 1925. He complained of severe pain over the lower sternal region and shortness of breath. He stated that he had been working in a stone quarry and was obliged to push cars filled with stone. While pushing a car the day prior to entering the hospital, he was suddenly seized by a severe pain over the lower anterior chest which appeared to be beneath the sternum. The pain was so severe that he was compelled to stop

Family doctors and nurses are urging women in Berwick to take up their invitation to take part in the national cervical screening programme.
Women aged 25 to 49 are invited for a cervical screening test from their GP every three years, and those aged 50 – 64 every five years.
Mandy Thompson, senior practice nurse at Well Close Medical Group, said: "Many of us are busy working mums and we find it hard to find 15 minutes for ourselves but I can't emphasis enough how important it is to respond to your invitation to be screened and find that time to come."
Cervical cancer is the 11th most common cancer among women in the UK, and the most common cancer in women under 35.
Cervical screening is not a test for cancer, it's a method of preventing cancer by detecting and treating early abnormalities which, if left untreated, could in a few cases lead to cancer in a woman's cervix (the neck of the womb).
Mandy continued: "If you have any questions or concerns about how the testing is carried out then simply ring your GP practice nurse who would be very happy indeed to talk to you about it and arrange for you to come and have your appointment."
Hilary Brown, managing partner for Well Close medical group, and North locality director and director for end of life care, cancer and carers for NHS Northumberland Clinical Commissioning Group, explained that cancer screening is a process of identifying people who may be at increased risk of a disease but who have not developed any obvious signs and symptoms and the main benefit is to detect early stages of a disease so that patients can then be offered information, further tests and appropriate treatment.
Hilary said: "The Be Clear on Cancer message is a strong one, finding cancer early enough, makes it more treatable and can save your life – don't put off a simple test that will take just 15 minutes at your GP practice and could give you the rest of your life."
Between 2008 and 2009 incidence rates increased by more than 20 per cent in the 25 to 34 age range (22 per cent for women aged 25-29 and 21 per cent for those aged 30-34).

INDIANAPOLIS - NCAA president Mark Emmert was forceful, but not bombastic. He truly was in control, showing leadership and decisiveness as well as remorse in discussing the severe sanctions levied against Penn State's football program on Monday.
After announcing the sanctions as a result of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal, including a $60 million fine, reduction in scholarships, and a four-year bowl ban, Emmert answered questions during a news conference at NCAA headquarters.
Some questioned the severity of the punishment and the quick process in which a decision was made.
Emmert didn't flinch, and whether people agreed or disagreed with him, he showed the type of leadership that his organization has been criticized for lacking in the past.

Duo team to develop projects on Dr. Sue Hart
The daktari is in at Magic Lantern Entertainment, which is partnering with family entertainment shingle Fitz Roy Media to develop features, TV series and straight-to-DVD properties around Dr. Sue Hart's experiences as South Africa's first female veterinarian.
Under the "Daktari Park" brand, the companies plan to create computer-animated stories based on Hart's dealings with wild animals in the African bush. Her work previously inspired the 1965 pic "Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion" and spinoff "Daktari" skein, which aired 1966-69 on CBS.
Like a James Herriot of the African bush, Hart chronicled her experiences in more than a dozen books, addressing young and adult readers alike. Magic Lantern and Fitz Roy optioned Hart's recently republished 1979 picturebook, "Tales of the Full Moon," and have already begun work on an interactive website that will feature live-action safari footage.
The companies are also developing features around cartoon housecat Heathcliff and other classic characters, and that could help Magic Lantern fulfill its pact with Universal to deliver 20 family-friendly direct-to-DVD features over the next four years.

GIRARD - After starting the year with a $600,000 deficit in the water fund Councilman-at-large Brian Kren, said Monday the fund should see a 25 percent reduction in the deficit by month's end.
Kren, utility committee chairman, credits water rate increases and the city administration's cracking down on delinquent water bill collections.
''The administration has done their job in dealing with this deficit,'' he said.
Council in February requested a state performance audit of the department's finances after the deficit had grown from about $150,000 in September 2007 to more than $600,000 by the end of 2008.
According to the state oversite commission, the deficit was due partly to inaccurate readings of customer usage.
Officials have said at prior meetings that the deficit is due in part to the city's paying $238,000 a year from the water department fund for its purchase of the Girard Lakes; its loss of an estimated $250,000 in water and sewer receipts after Girard aluminum plant Indalex was idled in 2008; and the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District's raising its prices to the city in July 2007.
In a related matter, council voted on the recommendation of Councilman Michael Costarella to prepare legislation to form a citizens committee to review the water fund's finances.
The legislation was originally passed 6-1 in March, with Mayor James Melfi vetoing it.
Law Director Mark Standohar said the current legislation needed to be redone for proper legal terminology and citation.
Council also:
l Approved employing up to 10 summer seasonal workers for the parks and water meter reading at minimum wage;
l Approved refinancing the loan for the state Route 422 widening project after finding a better rate.

*no poll to follow*
I got roped into seeing Something Wild when it first came out; that was a strange movie. It started out as a screwball comedy and then turned dark. I was not impressed. I have never seen Wild at Heart.
I've seen both movies exactly once.
I saw Wild at Heart right after it won the top prize at Cannes, and I was like -- and I was a big David Lynch fan at the time.
Something Wild was the first time I ever saw Ray Liotta. I'll never forget that ****************stain of a character he played. For years, every time I saw him in a movie, I couldn't shake that Something Wild character.
I probably prefer Something Wild, partly because Melanie Griffith was in her prime, and partly because it's one of the best "fish out of water" movies I've seen.

Cramer: The best growth story in oil
Jim Cramer | [email protected]
That's what EOG Resources Chairman Mark Papa said after the company's remarkable quarter, one that redefines growth in the oil patch as the company raised its rate from an already astounding 28 percent to an amazing 35 percent--especially given that this is already a huge oil company.
Plus, the growth could have been even greater as EOG's Delaware Basin assets--part of the recently rediscovered and re-rated Permian Basin--are being constrained because there's not enough infrastructure to handle the natural-gas byproduct of the drilling yet, despite the fact that the Permian's been around forever. It's as if the Delaware is a whole new basin in itself.
EOG's the strongest growth story in oil these days, and it is a reminder that while mutual fund and index money are by nature drawn to Exxon Mobil, the oil giant is a stagnant, if not wasting, asset. It still gets the benefit of the doubt it had about the worst quarter reported this season, and it still is buying back stock at an incredible pace ($4 billion this last quarter), but the market wants growth in oil just as it does in tech and banking.
That's why EOG remains one of the best independent growth stories to own. Yes, even up here, the story keeps getting bigger and better.
Random musings: Finisar is a reminder of how carrier spending is off the charts lately after years of desultory commitment. It's amazing what a little competition among carriers will do.
Disclosures: Cramer's charitable trust has no positions in the stocks mentioned.

To understand all of your insurance benefits and the different options that may be available to you, you need to know what insurance plan you have. Common insurance plans include:
Medical insurance provided by your employer at work is called Employer Group Health Plan or EGHP. If you are retired and receive medical benefits from your former employer as part of your retirement or pension plan, this is also considered an EGHP.
EGHP insurance often provides more complete benefits than state or federal programs. Premiums are generally more affordable since it is a group plan. Some employers even cover part of the cost for the insurance premiums. Understanding your benefits package is important. Contact your employer's human resources department to find out more details.
EGHPs have different plan types, and oftentimes a patient's choice is affiliated with the patient's premium costs.
Common EGHPs
If you are experiencing life-changing events that could result in loss of your EGHP coverage, COBRA may be available for you. Before dropping any insurance coverage or if you intend on making any changes to your current insurance coverage, please speak with your DaVita social worker or insurance specialist. DaVita wants to make sure you have all the facts before making any changes.
COBRA is an option to continue benefits through your employer's health insurance even if you, or your spouse, are unable to keep working. If you lose your job through termination, are laid off, have reduced work hours or choose to quit working, you and your family qualify for COBRA insurance. COBRA is the same health insurance you have through your EGHP, but be aware that your premium costs will increase when you elect COBRA. Speak with your social worker or insurance specialist to review programs that can assist in paying for these costs.
If you are entitled to COBRA benefits, your employer's health plan must give you notification of your rights to choose to continue your benefits. There are strict timelines that must be followed when electing your COBRA benefits. For additional information, read What Is COBRA?
Medicare is a federal insurance program available to most people in the United States who are 65 or older, disabled or have kidney failure.
It is important to know that:
For additional information on Medicare, read Medicare and Chronic Kidney Disease.
Medigap plans, also known as Medicare supplements, are sold by insurance companies to cover all or part of the 20% "gap" that Medicare does not cover. Each state has different plans to choose from, with varying benefits and cost. People who are at least 65 years old and apply in the first six months of obtaining Medicare cannot be denied or made to wait for coverage because of kidney disease. If you are under 65, some states may allow you to buy Medigap coverage. Contact your state's Department of Insurance or call 1-800-MEDICARE to learn which plans are available and if you are eligible.
Medicaid is a state-funded medical assistance program that is based on financial need. You may qualify for Medicaid if you are 65 or older, are disabled, have dependent children, or have little income or savings. Programs vary from state to state and year to year.
Medicaid covers services such as hospital charges and doctor fees. Your state may also have a program to help people with kidney disease pay for dialysis, medications and transportation. Speak with your social worker or state medical assistance office to determine what options are available to you.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) may offer enrolled veterans a medical benefit package that can provide a full range of preventive outpatient and inpatient services within the VA healthcare system. Veterans have a choice of dialyzing in hospitals, rather than at dialysis facilities where the VA may not cover the full cost. The VA may also be able to provide assistance with your prescription drugs. To learn more about what benefits you may qualify for, contact 1-877-222-VETS (8387) or visit www.va.gov/healtheligibility.

Students Collect 1,250 Pounds of Food for Washington County Families
One Night, Two Basketball Games, One Bake Sale & Bottle Drive, Many Community Partners,
1,250 Pounds of Food Collected for Washington County Families!
On November 9th, the students of Meghan Duff's Social Psychology class held a bake sale and bottle drive at the UMM vs. Lee/Maine Maritime Academy basketball games. The drive's aim was to raise money and awareness for the Washington County Food and Fuel Alliance, a program that provides healthy food, food security, and fuel assistance to those in need in Downeast Maine. The bake sale and bottle drive, which were also sponsored by Greek Council, the 100% Society, Campus Cru For Christ, UMM Athletics, Helen's Restaurant, Parlin's Bakery, Whole Life Market, and Machias River Redemption, raised enough money to purchase over 1,250 pounds of food – and the project still continues. Please consider donating your bottles at Machias River Redemption to Washington County Food and Fuel Alliance. So many community members have contributed and continue to contribute. It's easy to do your part!

text: Is anyone going to the 48-Hour Launch this weekend at Company Lab? Their website got hacked, so they're directing everyone to their Facebook page & Eventbrite page right now: https://www.facebook.com/thecompanylab (I've already reached out to them about cleaning up their website, as the URL was still pointed to the compromised site, which was just a blank page saying "Hacked by" someone, but they're working on cleaning it up and that's not the point of this email). They're always looking for programmers and web developers to help out with the various projects. I have a friend heading up a project which I've agreed to help out with, and she's looking for a number of more back-end programmers. Her project is going to have some interesting requirements and will be dealing with the aggregation of a (potentially) massive amount of data from various social media & other related sources. If you're good with databases, aggregating data, and turning lots of data into useful data (data analysis), I think our team could use you! I've already been working a little bit behind the scenes to conceptually think about the database structure necessary for this project. I'm not much of a programmer, but I do have a little database / programming experience. At any rate, there's also a number of other projects you could get involved with. There's a lot of people looking for web developers and and programmers, so your talent probably wouldn't go to waste if you decided to come for part or the whole weekend. Drop by for a few hours on Saturday or stay for the whole time (starting Friday night). Great opportunity to network and meet people. - David -- David White Founder & CEO * * *CENTS * Computing, Equipping, Networking, Training & Supporting Nonprofit Organizations Worldwide http://developCENTS.com <http://developcents.com/> 423-693-4234 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Naked Noggin: Mom Blogger to Shave Head In Support of Sister-in-Law With Breast CancerJoslyn Gray
Rachel Kenyon is a writer, a mom, an army wife, and an advocate for military families dealing with autism. She's also about to be bald.
Rachel is planning on shaving her head in an effort to support her sister-in-law, currently battling breast cancer, both emotionally and financially. She's vowed to shave her head once she's raised $1,000, and share photos and video of the "Naked Noggin Party" with the world.
I've come to know Rachel through her blog, Stim City, where she writes about parenting a daughter with autism and other special needs. Her relentless drive to advocate for her daughter, and other military families struggling with autism, has earned her the nickname "Honey Badger" among friends.
She has fearlessly hounded Congress and the Senate to push for better insurance coverage for military families with with autistic loved ones. She has written endlessly about the Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act, with pithy blog posts like OMG. If TRICARE Was Working, I'd Shut Up Already. There is no stopping this woman once she sets her sights on a cause.
"In support of my sister-in-law who is fighting breast cancer, please make a donation and I will GO NAKED FOR THE CAUSE!" Rachel writes on a separate blog dedicated to this project, Naked Noggin. Fifty percent of the donations will go toward her sister-in-law's medical expenses, and the other 50 percent will go directly to Susan G. Komen For the Cure, Rachel said.
"My husband's only sister had a mastectomy over the summer and recently began chemotherapy," Rachel writes, "and now her hair is falling out. She asked my husband to come to her house and shave her head for her."
Rachel has decided to shave her own head, too, to show her sister-in-law how much she is loved and supported.
"Please join me in spreading breast cancer awareness and in making a difference in the life of someone very special to me and my family," she writes, asking people to donate through a Paypal account.

on January 13, 2013 - 12:52 AM
OLEAN — After losing four consecutive games by sizable margins — losses which forced St. Bonaventure to do some soul searching — the Bonnies were quite annoying and rude to their first-time guests from Virginia Commonwealth.
The Bonnies' ball movement found soft spots in VCU's "Havoc" defense — they finished with a season-high 11 three-pointers — bothered their hottest shooter in Troy Daniels and took care of the ball against a Rams' defense that lives and breathes off turnovers, all the aspects that generally add up to winning.
Yet the Bonnies suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, 72-65, in front of 4,675 at the Reilly Center on Saturday, in large part due to VCU shooting nearly 60 percent in the second half. Still, the Bonnies managed to pick out rays of sunshine from a seemingly otherwise cloudy stretch of basketball.
Each of St. Bonaventure's losses to North Carolina State, Iona, Colorado State and George Washington were by 19 points or more, but most alarming was the sense that when the Bonnies got pushed, they withered away. That wasn't the case against the Rams, who were playing their first Atlantic 10 Conference road game.
VCU (14-3, 2-0) led by 13 points with 3:46 left in the game before Bona (7-8, 0-2) made it a two possession game with 34 seconds left at 71-65. It was a common theme for the game: Whenever the Rams threatened to break the game open, the Bonnies came up with an answer to thwart the charge. That kind of energy was missing of late.
"Even though we lost, we feel like we finally found our heart and we got it back," said junior guard Matthew Wright, who had 10 points. "We have to know that this is the bare minimum that we have to play, you just have to play hard no matter what."
St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt agrees.
"You can't get disappointed when teams make runs at you," he said. "You have to buckle down and at times we may have given in a little bit, but I can tell you one thing, we didn't give in against VCU."
This looked like a mismatch prior to tipoff. While St. Bonaventure appeared to regress after a 7-3 start, VCU was on a 10-game win streak which included a 19-point blowout of Alabama. But the Bonnies were able to get baskets on the back end of VCU's fullcourt pressure defense while hitting 11 of 25 from long range.
"Going into the game we knew we had to give the best effort of the season," Wright said. "This is the kind of team that will jump on you early, and they make you quit with their style of defense. So you really have to match their intensity, and, in our case, we have to exceed their intensity."
They did, except defensively which has been an issue during the five-game losing streak as opponents have shot over 50 percent. The Rams shot 59.1 percent after halftime led by Treveon Graham, who had a team-high 17 points.
Daniels was 35 of 70 from three-point range in his last five games and the Bonnies knew they couldn't afford to give him many open looks. He scored 10 points on 3 of 8 overall and 2 of 7 from long range. VCU, which should break into the Associated Press Top 25 this week, was 5 of 17 from three-point range.
"We played a hard-fought game against Dayton on Wednesday and I felt against St. Bonaventure this was even tougher," said VCU coach Shaka Smart.
Demitrius Conger, who scored a game-high 19 points, hit a three-pointer with 34 seconds left to bring the Bonnies within six at 71-65. That basket also marked Conger's 1,000th career point, the 39th player in school history to reach 1,000.
After Conger's trey, the Bonnies were still breathing when they forced a turnover by Briante Weber. Charlon Kloof, who had a tough game with six turnovers, could have cut the lead to three with 26 seconds left but misfired from long range. With 22 seconds left, Juvonte Reddic put the game out of reach with a free throw.
"Against VCU you can't step back, you can't blink, you have to attack," Schmidt said. "I think our guys did that for the most part."
They'll have to do it again on Wednesday against Xavier, whom the Bonnies defeated in the Atlantic 10 Tournament championship game last March to reach the NCAAs. Tipoff is 8 p.m. at the Reilly Center.

It's shaping up to be a very merry Christmas for Davion Only, the 15-year-old orphan who stepped before a Florida church congregation in October with a heartfelt plea: to find a family to adopt him.
Only's appearance, which captivated a far-reaching audience, sparked more than 10,000 responses from around the world.
Now comes word of his personal progress. Only has moved from his group foster home to spend Christmas with a prospective adoptive family, reports the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
This marks a likely happy ending for Only, who has spent his entire life moving from foster home to foster home after his mother, who spent time in prison, was forced to give him up. She has since died.
In frustration, the teen asked his case worker if he could speak to the 300-member St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla., where his emotional plea shined a light on the plight of children like himself, desperate for love and seeking adoptive families.
"I'll take anyone. Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care," he told the church. "I know God hasn't given up on me. So I'm not giving up, either."
Thousands who later read his story reached out to his adoption agency to inquire about him. Only also has done his best to help other children like him, traveling to Tallahassee to speak to Florida governor Rick Snyder and members of his cabinet about adoption, reported the Tampa Bay Times, which first wrote about Davion's story.
"Even though I am going through an adoption process right now," Only told a packed meeting of lawmakers, "I still hope that other kids in foster care get the benefit that I am going to have to be adopted and to have somewhere to call home and to have a bed to call theirs."
His biological aunt said she and other relatives who are unable to adopt him are supportive of his new life, with Doris Barnes telling the Daily Mail, "I just want him to be happy and loved and to be with someone who is going to do the best for his future."

Slow first half costs Mercyhurst Prep soccer
NESHANNOCK -- The Mercyhurst Prep boys soccer team couldn't overcome a two-goal deficit in the second half in a 2-1 loss to Sewickley Academy in a PIAA Class A quarterfinal today at Neshannock High School.
Sewickley improved to 19-3-0 and will play in the PIAA semifinals Tuesday at a site and time to be determined, while Mercyhurst Prep ended its season at 19-3-0.
With 20 minutes, 34 seconds left in the first half, Steven Munn crushed a rebound from about 20 yards out to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. About four minutes later, Munn delivered a perfect corner kick to Matt Teitelbaum to give Sewickley a 2-0 lead.
Mercyhurst Prep had several chances in the second half, but the Lakers could only cash in once as Andrew Valencia scored on a rebound.

>From PDF link on web page:
As the inconsistency from one US Administration to the next might
suggest, Barnett is far from speaking for a unified US antitrust
community. His public attitude toward monopoly has at least been
consistent: the government should avoid doing anything that
might chill aggressive competition by a monopolist. Thus,
Barnetts statement smacks of remorse that the US government did
anything at all to stop Microsofts exclusionary practices.
The American Antitrust Institute and many other observers of the
antitrust scene are far more concerned about the ability of a
monopolist to chill competition by erecting entry barriers that
protect the monopoly against unwanted intruders.
The ECs position, upheld now on appeal, shows the proper concern
for practices by dominant firms that eliminate both actual and
potential competition which could benefit consumers. The EC has
appropriately targeted strategies that would have the effect of
deterring investment in innovations that might lead to a reduction
of the monopolists power and new benefits for consumers.

THE African National Congress (ANC) is set for a senior leadership tussle in Mangaung next week, with Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe taking on President Jacob Zuma for the party's top position.
Thabo Masebe, spokesman for Mr Motlanthe, confirmed on Thursday that the politician had accepted a nomination to run for the position.
Mr Motlanthe also accepted a nomination to run for deputy president — his current position in the party.
That means the ANC is set for a longer election process in the event that Mr Motlanthe loses in the presidential run-off against Mr Zuma. He would then stand again for the deputy presidency. Nominees can stand for as many positions as they are nominated.
Mr Motlanthe was nominated by three ANC provinces — Gauteng, the Western Cape and Limpopo — as well as the ANC Youth League to replace Mr Zuma.
While Mr Motlanthe appears to be following a principle of serving in any position that branches vote him into, his bet-hedging could be a problem. If he loses in the presidential contest, the dominant branches may be upset that he stood against Mr Zuma and vote for Cyril Ramphosa instead for the deputy president position.
On the other hand, Mr Motlanthe's approach will give the Zuma camp a few headaches. If they are dominant in Mangaung and do not vote for Mr Motlanthe for the deputy presidency, they may be seen as spiteful.
The ANC may also be hugely divided after the election. Mr Zuma seems to enjoy the support of most of the 4,500 voting delegates.
The Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans' Association has warned that Mr Motlanthe will not be accommodated by the Zuma camp, for having accepted the nomination for the presidency. The association does not have voting rights but is an influential lobby group, and has backed Mr Zuma's second-term bid.
Chairman Kebby Maphatsoe said: "We withdraw our support for him. We don't want him ... he is not a messiah,"
The veterans' association initially wanted Mr Motlanthe to retain his number-two position. " I must say he has disappointed us," said Mr Maphatsoe.
No wheeling and dealing
In a wide-ranging interview with Business Day last month, Mr Motlanthe emphasised party principles and said he would not be part of pre-conference wheeling and dealing on leadership, as that took power away from the branches, which should be allowed to express their will without interference.
Becoming leader of the ANC means a nearly automatic ticket to becoming the president of South Africa.
Mr Motlanthe's acceptance of his nominations will provide an opportunity for Mr Ramaphosa to stand for deputy president against Mathews Phosa and Tokyo Sexwale.
The nomination of Mr Phosa, who is the ANC's treasurer, and Mr Sexwale, who is human settlements minister, could hand Mr Ramaphosa the advantage as the two are backed by the same "forces of change" camp.
If their supporters do not strike a deal before Sunday, their votes may be split.
Mr Phosa confirmed on Wednesday that he would stand for deputy president. "I abide by the call of the branches," he said.
While there was no obvious indication of Mr Ramaphosa's intentions, a national executive committee (NEC) member said: "Who doesn't like power? He has been eyeing a senior position for a while."
