This landmark study1 provides the first comprehensive assessment of surgical intern home call as it relates to patient outcomes. This study included objective, prospectively gathered surgical in-patient perioperative morbidity and mortality using the Veterans Affairs National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data set. During the first era (1999-2003), interns took in-hospital call and during the second (2004-2010), interns took home call. The question raised was whether intern home call correlated with increased rates for postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with intern in-hospital call. The findings did not show an association between intern home call and detrimental postoperative outcomes.

Screening for breast cancer can reduce mortality rates by 35% to 40% (1–3). Despite these benefits, however, a 1995 survey revealed that 30% of eligible U.S. women had not obtained a screening mammogram in the preceding 2 years (4). Consequently, several studies have evaluated factors that might improve screening adherence and further reduce the morbidity and mortality rate associated with breast cancer (5–9).
Knowledge of the importance of early cancer detection, receipt of a recommendation from a physician, younger age, and higher socioeconomic status are all associated with increased use of mammography (10). However, we do not know whether the result of mammography affects future screening behavior. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 2 women will have at least one false-positive mammogram after a decade of annual screening (11). It has been suggested that fear of a false-positive result will "dissuade women from obtaining the life-saving benefits of mammography" (12). Women who have had a false-positive mammogram have higher levels of anxiety about breast cancer than other women do, and they have a higher stated intention of obtaining repeated screening mammography at recommended intervals (13–15). It is not known, however, whether women follow through with these intentions. The anxiety caused by a false-positive experience may deter women from obtaining subsequent screening. Given the frequency of false-positive mammograms, deterrence from screening could be a serious public health problem.
We investigated whether having a false-positive mammogram alters the likelihood of obtaining breast cancer screening during the next recommended interval. We also examined whether the association between false-positive mammograms and future screening is confounded by age, other risk factors for breast cancer, or previous use of mammography.
We studied women 40 years of age or older who were enrolled in Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound's breast cancer screening program. Group Health Cooperative is a not-for-profit health maintenance organization in Washington state that has had an organized breast cancer screening program since 1986 (16–18). Eighty-five percent of age-eligible women enroll in the program by completing a risk factor questionnaire. The information from the questionnaire is stored in a mainframe database linked to radiology information systems that record when women undergo mammography.
Women enrolled in this health plan may obtain a screening mammogram by referral from their primary care provider or by self-referral. Women who have not undergone screening mammography within their recommended screening interval are identified by routine monthly computerized reviews of the Group Health Cooperative radiology information systems. The women identified by these reviews are mailed letters reminding them to schedule a clinical breast examination and screening mammography through a screening center. These invitation letters summarize the woman's risk factors for breast cancer, inform women of their recommended screening interval, and are signed by the clinician in charge of the breast cancer screening center. A randomized trial of screening recommendation letters from the woman's primary care physician rather than from the director of the breast cancer screening center showed that these two methods had an equal effect (19). Between 1986 and 1992, the breast cancer screening program recommended screening intervals of 1 to 3 years on the basis of selected risk factors for breast cancer, including age 50 years or older, first-degree family history of breast cancer, age at menarche, age at menopause, nulliparity, and first birth after 30 years of age (17–18). Beginning in 1993, the tri-annual interval was eliminated and women were invited for repeated screening every 1 or 2 years on the basis of the same risk factors for breast cancer (20). Screening intervals of 1, 2, and 3 years were recommended initially for 2.4%, 81.1% and 16.5% of our cohort, respectively.
Our cohort was composed of women who had screening mammography through the plan's breast cancer screening program between 1 August 1990 and 31 July 1992. A screening mammogram obtained during this time was considered the index mammogram. We limited our cohort to women who were continuously enrolled in the health plan from 1 January 1989 through 31 January 1995. This observation period allowed us to collect data on mammography use before the index mammogram was obtained and ensured adequate follow-up after the index mammogram was obtained. The end of the follow-up interval was chosen to avoid overlap with a large randomized trial, started in February 1995, of interventions designed to increase compliance with mammography recommendations.
Breast cancer screening is conducted through specialized centers where women have a clinical breast examination, undergo bilateral screening mammography, and have an opportunity to review self-breast examination technique (18, 20). A nurse at the breast cancer screening center informed patients by telephone of the radiologist's recommendations for additional evaluation and follow-up of abnormalities noted on the mammogram. The follow-up plan was discussed at that time, and a written record of the plan was sent to the primary care physician. Follow-up plans included additional imaging, repeated examination at a shortened interval (≤ 11 months), or surgical evaluation. Women enrolled in Group Health Cooperative may seek care from their primary care provider at any time and were encouraged to see that provider for the clinical breast examination in years in which they were not seen in a screening center.
Health plan databases and the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) tumor registry were used to identify Group Health Cooperative enrollees with breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive breast cancer, or both).
Group Health Cooperative databases were used to determine whether women underwent repeated breast cancer screening during follow-up. Women were followed for at least 6 months after the recommended date of their next screening mammogram. The 36 mammograms obtained within 10 months of the index mammogram were assumed to be diagnostic, short-interval, follow-up mammograms. In these cases, the date of the index mammogram was reset to correspond to the date of the short-interval mammogram, and the date of the recommended subsequent screening mammogram was then adjusted to reflect this change.
Positive mammograms were those interpreted by the radiologist as indeterminate or positive (suggestive of breast cancer) or those with recommendations for additional evaluation, including follow-up mammography within a shortened interval (≤ 11 months), additional mammogram views, referral to a surgeon, or biopsy (similar to mammography Breast Imaging Reporting and Data assessment categories 0, 3, 4, and 5) (21). Although recommendations for ultrasonography were made, the report forms used by the radiologists during the study period did not include a category for this. We therefore included seven additional index mammograms as positive because they were followed by ultrasonography within 60 days.
False-positive mammograms were defined as positive mammograms in women without a diagnosis of breast cancer during the subsequent 12 months. True-negative mammograms were mammograms with negative or benign readings in women without a diagnosis of breast cancer during the subsequent 12 months.
We compared the baseline characteristics and rates of breast cancer screening up to 6 months after the next recommended screening interval for women with true-negative and those with false-positive index mammograms. The following variables were evaluated as predictors of subsequent screening mammography: result of the index mammogram (false positive or true negative), patient age (<50 years, 50 to 69 years, or ≥ 70 years), family history of breast cancer (yes or no), age of menarche (≤ 10 years or >10 years), age at first childbirth (≤ 30 years or >30 years), nulliparity, age at menopause (<55 years or ≥ 55 years), use of hormone replacement therapy (ever or never), number of previous mammograms, and history of a false-positive mammogram before the index mammogram (yes or no). Simple and multivariate logistic regression modeling were used to evaluate the individual and the simultaneous effect of all predictors. Statistical analyses, including calculation of odds ratios and 95% CIs, were performed by using SAS software (22).
Of the 5520 women 40 years of age or older who underwent screening mammography during the index period, 395 had a history of breast cancer and 19 had had other breast surgery (such as breast reduction or augmentation) and were therefore excluded from the analysis. Of the remaining 5106 women, 46 (1%) had true-positive index mammograms, 813 (16%) had false-positive index mammograms, 4246 (83%) had true-negative index mammograms, and 1 (<1%) had a false-negative index mammogram. Only women with false-positive or true-negative index mammograms (n = 5059) were included in further analyses. Ninety-five women had false-positive results on clinical breast examinations; all of these women also had false-positive index mammograms. Women with true-negative index mammograms and women with false-positive index mammograms did not differ significantly with regard to breast cancer risk factors (Table 1). However, fewer women with false-positive index mammograms had previous mammography compared with women with true-negative index mammograms (62% and 77%; P = 0.001). In addition, more women with a false-positive index mammogram had a previous false-positive mammogram (16% and 11%; P = 0.001).
Of the 5059 women, 3700 (73%) returned for screening mammography by 6 months after their next recommended interval. Of the 813 women with false-positive index mammograms, 602 (73%) returned within 6 months of their recommended screening interval, compared with 3098 (74%) of women with true-negative index mammograms. Crude and adjusted odds for obtaining screening mammography during follow-up are presented in Table 2. The strongest predictor of compliance with subsequent breast cancer screening was the number of mammograms before the index mammogram (unadjusted odds ratio, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.72 to 2.03]). Age 50 to 69 years, a history of a false-positive mammogram before the index mammogram, menopause at or after 55 years of age, and use of hormone replacement therapy were also predictors of compliance with subsequent interval breast cancer screening (Table 2).
Table 2 also shows the adjusted odds ratios of each predictor variable. After simultaneous adjustment for all predictors in the multivariate logistic model, women who had a false-positive index mammogram were more likely to undergo screening during the next recommended interval (adjusted odds ratio, 1.21 [CI, 1.01 to 1.45]). Results were similar when the analysis was limited to the 4414 women whose recommended screening interval was 2 years (adjusted odds ratio, 1.20 [CI, 0.98 to 1.47]). When the analysis was limited to women with no mammograms before the index mammogram (n = 1264), the association between a false-positive index mammogram and screening within the next recommended interval was even stronger (adjusted odds ratio, 1.66 [CI, 1.26 to 2.17]) (Table 3).
In the 3795 women with one or more mammogram before the index mammogram, neither a history of a false-positive mammogram before the index mammogram (n = 610) nor the occurrence of two sequential false-positive mammograms (the index mammogram and the one immediately preceding it) (n = 102) were predictive of compliance with the next screening recommendation (odds ratio, 1.01 [CI, 0.80 to 1.27] and 0.90 [CI, 0.56 to 1.46], respectively) (Table 3).
At Group Health Cooperative, women younger than 50 years of age are included in the breast cancer screening program only if they have one or more first-degree relatives with breast cancer or if they have both of the following risk factors: menarche before 10 years of age and nulliparity or first childbirth after age 30. These younger women may therefore not be representative of all women between 40 and 49 years of age. Some groups suggest that screening mammography in women older than 70 years of age may not be warranted because of suboptimal cost-effectiveness in this age group. Table 4 shows the adjusted odds ratios of each predictor variable stratified by age (40 to 49 years, 50 to 69 years, or 70 years or older). The overall compliance in each age group was 63%, 77%, and 72%, respectively. Although the adjusted odds ratios for a false-positive index mammogram were greater than 1.0 in all groups, all 95% CIs included 1.0.
Our broad definition of a false-positive mammogram included varying types of false-positive mammograms with potentially different implications for subsequent screening and different effects on patient compliance with recommendations for next screening. Subdividing results on the index mammogram into three categories (true-negative, false-positive with further imaging recommendation, and false- positive with biopsy recommendation) yielded results similar to those obtained when the result on the index mammogram was treated as a dichotomous variable (data not shown).
In our study, false-positive mammograms did not adversely affect breast cancer screening behavior during the next recommended interval. After adjustment for age, risk factors for breast cancer, and previous use of mammography, women who had a false-positive mammogram were more likely than women who had true-negative mammograms to return for screening mammograms within the next recommended interval. Women with no previous mammography use seemed to be influenced by a false-positive mammogram more strongly than other women; their adjusted odds ratio for obtaining screening within the next recommended interval was 1.66 (CI, 1.21 to 2.17). Although the study data do not support a decreased likelihood of adherence after a false-positive mammogram in women with one or more previous mammograms (adjusted odds ratio, 1.10), they do not preclude it at the 0.05 error level (CI, 0.86 to 1.40). Receipt of multiple false-positive mammograms, either serially or with an intervening normal mammogram, was not associated with interval screening compliance.
The rate of false-positive mammograms was higher for women without previous mammography. It is possible that radiologists are more conservative in their interpretations of a mammogram if comparison films are not available. A study of a community-based mobile mammography screening program in San Francisco found that the overall rate of abnormal examinations was 7.1% for women without available comparison examinations and 2.0% for the same women on subsequent screening (23).
An important methodologic feature of our study that enhances its validity is reliance on observed as opposed to self-reported behavior of subsequent screening activities. Although mammography self-reports have been shown to be accurate (24), the time of occurrence may be subject to foreshortening and the effect of false-positive results on retrospective recall has not been examined. Our analysis would not be susceptible to bias due to differential reporting of screening behavior in relation to previous test results because observed screening results and behavior were captured by using health plan data systems.
It is unlikely that barriers to screening prevented women with a true-negative index mammogram from having equal access to subsequent screening. The prepaid health plan in which this study was conducted offers mammography screening to eligible enrollees as a benefit without additional charge. Furthermore, all women who meet criteria for screening are invited to make an appointment for a mammogram, and we probably captured all or almost all subsequent screening mammograms done for these women because the plan is prepaid.
Our study had some potential limitations. First, the study was limited to women enrolled in Group Health Cooperative's breast cancer screening program. Like the surrounding community, enrollees in Group Health Cooperative are predominately white, but they are less likely to be in the lowest and highest income brackets than the rest of the local population; therefore, these results may have limited generalizability to populations with greater ethnic and economic diversity. In addition, we did not address whether a false-positive mammogram affects the efficacy of commonly used techniques to enhance compliance with mammography, such as mailed invitations for screening. This topic warrants further investigation.
We used a broad definition of a false-positive mammogram, ranging from repeated imaging either immediately or with a shortened interval to a recommendation for a biopsy. However, this broad definition has been used in other studies of mammography and, in particular, in some studies examining the effects of false-positive mammograms on women's perceived vulnerability to breast cancer and attitudes toward breast cancer screening (14–15, 25–27). Our results did not differ when the analysis was repeated by using only index mammograms with biopsy recommendation as a more rigid definition of a false-positive mammogram.
Some variables found to be associated with screening compliance in previous studies were not available to us, including education and socioeconomic levels, marital status, perceived health status, source and frequency of health care utilization, and physician recommendation. We interpret our findings with some caution and recognize that one or more of these other factors may be responsible for the observed association between false-positive mammograms and subsequent screening. One of the most commonly cited factors, a recommendation from a primary care physician, was evaluated in a randomized trial among Group Health Cooperative enrollees and was not associated with increased screening compared with a recommendation from a breast cancer screening program (19). However, it is possible that recommendation from a primary care physician is influenced by the occurrence of a false-positive mammogram; this possibility may warrant further study. Given these caveats, we think it is unlikely that false-positive mammograms deter women from subsequent screening.
Breast cancer continues to be a common cause of illness and death in women. Rates of compliance with recommended screening intervals vary widely across the United States, and strategies to increase these rates continue to be explored. Given the high cumulative risk for a false-positive mammogram in women who regularly undergo mammography and the importance of regular mammography in decreasing breast cancer mortality rates, it was reassuring to find that a false-positive mammogram did not adversely affect subsequent screening in this cohort.

Three juvenile robbery suspects found hiding in Federal Way convenience store
From the Federal Way Police Department:
At approximately 3:28 a.m. Oct. 21, Federal Way officers were dispatched to a welfare check of the clerk at the Circle K convenience store located at 33520 21st Ave SW. Customers reported that the door was open, the store was in disarray and the clerk was not located. Upon officers' arrival, another witness reported that the clerk stated the business was closed and they saw a black male standing in the office.
An officer made contact with the clerk who told the officer they were closed for cleaning, although the clerk made physical indications that someone was in the office around the corner. The clerk moved to a location behind two officers, then fled the store. When officers entered the office, three black male suspects were located hiding in the back corner of the office. Three juvenile suspects, all age 17, were taken into custody without incident.
Preliminary investigation indicates the three arrested suspects may be responsible for similar robberies in Federal Way in recent weeks.

UMass tops Dukes, 10-6
April 20, 2007
PITTSBURGH- Kathleen Typadis broke a 6-6 tie with 15:32 to play in regulation and Massachusetts held Duquesne without a goal the rest of the way in posting a 10-6 victory at Rooney Field Friday afternoon.
The loss drops the Dukes to 7-7 overall and 2-2 in Atlantic 10 Conference play while the victory was the first in the A-10 this season for UMass (6-8, 1-3).
Down 3-1 in the first period, DU scored three unanswered goals from Courtney Tamasitis, Janna Faulkner and Meghan Frederick to give the Red & Blue their first lead of the game 4-3.
Typadis' scored her second goal of the game at the 7:02 mark of the first half as the teams went into halftime deadlocked at 4-4.
Faulkner scored 3:47 into the second frame giving the Dukes their final lead of the game 5-4. The Minutewomen scored the next two goals just 20 second apart to go up 6-5. Kathleen McNish tied the game at 6-6 at the 17:19 mark, but that would be all the scoring the Dukes could muster.
UM got three more goals after Typadis' game-winner to close out the scoring and steal a road win 10-6.
Faulkner had a team-high three points off the bench. McNish and Tamasitis had two points apiece. Stacie Pollock had a team-high three ground balls. Caitlin Carducci made seven stops for the Dukes.

The exceptional length of this five-axis gantry mill presented challenges to the machine tool builder, but also created opportunities for W Industries, where the machine is installed.
Looking down the special bay prepared for the Cybermill during the installation of the Heidenhain linear scales gives the viewer an impression of the length of the X-axis bed. It is as long as three quarters of a football field.
W Industries is a company that thinks big—big machines, big parts, and big growth. The last of these—big growth—is getting attention because the company is located in Detroit, Michigan, a location most people associate with contraction in the automotive industry and the decline of manufacturing.

US, EU's 'Pledge Against Protectionism' a cover up of crimes of globalization, says PH farmers
Original Publication Date:
16 December, 2011
Reference: Jim Fernando, KMP Campaign Officer
GENEVA, Switzerland – The activist peasant group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (Peasant Movement of the Philippines – KMP) today assailed the "Pledge Against Protectionism" statement being circulated and asked for signing by countries headed by the United States and European Union at the 8th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland.
"The circulation of the 'anti-protectionism document' is a desperate move to cover up the crimes of imperialist globalization against the broad masses of people," says Jim Fernando, KMP Campaign Officer.
"US and EU spin doctors are now obscuring the truth that the rotten and bankrupt paradigm of so-called "free market" globalization is the main cause of the global economic and financial crisis," he said.
Obviously, Fernando said, "the pledge is aimed to undermine the world people's growing clamor for genuine development and of countries defending their national economies from the continuing onslaught of globalization."
The KMP also called on the Philippine delegation to the WTO not to sign the document saying it would be a big shame for the Philippine government to sign the document.
"Signing this anti-national and anti-people document is tantamount to a pledge of total US re-colonization of the Philippines," the KMP warned.
The peasant group maintained that after 17 years of membership in the WTO, Philippine agriculture and the Filipino peasantry has been hardly hit by the policies of liberalization, deregulation, and privatization of the economy. The country has become more vulnerable to global land grabbing, food insecurity, job insecurity, hunger and poverty.
"Widespread land grabbing and forced eviction of peasants from their farmlands is the worst impact of agricultural trade liberalization in the Philippines. While increasing its reliance on food importation, the Philippine government is seeking so-called investments and surplus finance capital in exchange of the total sell-out of agricultural lands to advanced capitalist countries," the KMP said. #

AUBURN, Alabama -- The status of suspended Auburn guards Varez Ward and Chris Denson remains uncertain for the Tigers' game at Alabama Wednesday.
Auburn coach Tony Barbee said he had not yet made a decision. The duo did not participate in today's practice.
When would a decision be made?
"Before we get on the bus," Barbee said.
The players were suspended before Saturday's game against Arkansas.
Auburn lost to the Razorbacks 77-71.
Ward and Denson had played in every game and were typically asked to provide a scoring spark off the bench.
A Montgomery native who transferred from Texas and sat out last season, Ward had overcome injuries and become more consistent, averaging 9.0 points and 3.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game.
Denson, a sophomore from Columbus, Ga., is averaging 8.5 points per game.
"We could have used them tonight, but sometimes everybody's not going to be able to play, so you've got to deal with it," senior Kenny Gabriel said after the Arkansas.

Q. The owner of my local fish store (LFS) sold me a red-tailed catfish (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus). The fish is growing quickly. I recently learned that the red-tailed catfish could get up to 5 feet long. I have a 225-gallon aquarium. I don't think that will be large enough. My LFS's owner told me this fish shouldn't get larger than 12 inches in a tank the size of mine. What should I do?Martin DunnColumbus, Ohio
Luckily, your situation may not be as dire as you think. Depending on how large your red-tailed catfish is now, he should be able to hang out in a tank as large as yours for a while. There is a fish store not far from me that has a 225-gallon aquarium that has housed an adult red-tailed catfish (about 3 feet, 6 inches long) for several years. If you start looking for a future home now, you just might be able to secure one before the fish gets too large for your aquarium.
I would recommend trying local zoos or aquariums, though I know firsthand that they are usually apprehensive about taking fish from private aquarists. The Pittsburgh Zoo, where I volunteer as a diver, gets many calls per week trying to secure homes for large aquarium livestock. Their policy is zero tolerance and they will not accept any livestock from private aquarists. The risk to a large public establishment is too great if the fish were to be infected with a disease that attacked the aquarium's other inhabitants.
Some aquarists have built large indoor ponds to house red-tailed catfish and you could try to find someone with that setting to take your fish once he gets very large. Returning him to the LFS would be an option, though it is likely he would just end up in the hands of someone else with an aquarium far too small to keep him. I wish you luck in your pursuit finding a home for this big guy. It can be tricky to find housing for large fish. I would be very cautious in accepting advice from the LFS that sold you this species. Unless they are simply unaware of this fish's biology, it is possible that they gave you this information only to make a sale with no forethought about what was best for you or the animal.

Where can I buy one
jason medicine hat, AB
martin dunn , do not listen to this guy do some more research, red tail cats do get 5 feet and need huge tanks , most people put them in house hold ponds, i never read more to answer anything else but after reading this idiot ( they only get 12 in) i couldn't stomach andy more, ask your questions in another place this guy dosn't know shit
granville International
When my son purchased a Redtailed catfish several years ago he was told the tank size realy needed to be 10ftx4ftx4ft, when the fish died it had reached 2 and a half feet in lenght, having had a diet of Rainbow Trout
Rob Moorman St Petersburg, FL
Wow!!! I just recently ( 4 months ago ) Purchased this cute little red tail cat fish. He is now 8 inches long and has devoured everything in my tank. I was also told that he would only get 12 inches. Ha !!! I searched for him on line and realized they get huge!!!!!. My tank is only 55 gallons. I love the fish. He si spoled and hand fed. Also wel cared for. However I am in over my head with him. I have been keeping fresh water fish for 30 years. The pet industry should not carry these animals and then miss inform the customer. Now what do I do with this fish?? .

Grant Show
Jump to
A perennial actor who had his start on daytime soaps, Grant Show graduated to primetime on the 1990s phenomenon, "Melrose Place" (Fox, 1992-99), where his portrayal of motorcycle-loving Jake Hanson turned the previously unrecognized actor into a sensation. Previously, Show had been a regular on "Ryan's Hope" (ABC, 1975-1989) while periodically showing up in episodes of popular series. Shifting his fortunes, he landed a recurring role as Hanson on "Beverly Hills 90210" (1990-2000), a character who was transitioned over to the quasi-spinoff "Melrose Place." After leaving that series briefly to play Hanson on the short-lived "Models, Inc." (Fox, 1994-95), he returned to "Melrose" until finally leaving for good in 1997. From there, he bounced back and forth between film and television, seemingly finding little luck as a regular, with several short-lived shows cancelled due to low ratings. He did have a minor cable hit with "Sex & the Single Mom" (Lifetime, 2003), and was notable with recurring turns on "Dirt" (FX, 2007-08) and "Burn Notice" (USA Network, 2007-13). Though he had a tough time finding another standout role, Show remained an accomplished actor and fan favorite with an ever-increasing number of stage, television and film credits under his belt.

Oh man, what a weekend!
Opening at Caribou is never fun for me. Being that I feel that I MUST get 8 hours of sleep I go to bed around 7PM. How do I do that? Tylenol PM. I know, right? So Friday night I got off work at 5, came home to eat dinner and then went to bed. I always toss and turn when I have to go to sleep that early and finally around 2:30 AM I gave up and got up. The shift itself wasn't bad and it went by fast, which was nice.
Saturday afternoon D and I went to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings and then went to see Adeventureland. I think the only real reason I wanted to see it is because Kristen Stewart is in it. Turned out to be a pretty funny movie and a really cute ending. I liked it and would totally recommend it as a date movie. Dustin thought it was going to be funnier but I think he liked it too. We spent the whole movie giggling like children and it was really cute. Happiness!
Yesterday we had one of our "movie days" which pretty much means we sit on our butts all day watching movies. Yesterday it was Hancock, 7 Pounds and The Prestige. We almost had a Will Smith thing going on, I know. Both Hancock and 7 Pounds didn't end up being as good as I thought they would be. I was almost bored during most of 7 Pounds. I've seen The Prestige before although the first time around I wasn't really paying attention. This time around I really liked it! Plus, Hugh Jackman is in it so can I really complain? Nope!
Also, I added a few more blogs to the blog section of THIS blog (how many times can I say blog in on sentence). They're just sites I like to look at and thought I'd share!
I've got a long, boring week this week. Joy. Hopefully something fun will happen soon!
More soon!

Forbes thinks Windows could surpass iOS in just three years
0. phoneArena 06 Dec 2013, 10:58 posted on
For now, it seems like Android isn't going to be losing its lead in the mobile market, so the interesting battles are happening with different platforms jockeying for position in second, third, and fourth places. Right now, we have a setup with Android on top, iOS as the clear number two, and Windows Phone as the clear number three. But, at least one outlet believes that Windows could surpass iOS in just three years...

11. alterecho (Posts: 1098; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
You could buy the 1520 for the hardware alone and for its absolutely amazing and useful offline Nokia/HERE maps. On the other hand, i'd advice you to use some ones WP8 device for a day or two before you jump.

It won't happen. They will take away from Android's marketshare, but not iOS.

Windows phone has high potential and steady growth. They'll take away from both android's and iOS's market share but i don't think its going to happen in such less time.
i believe the key to increase market share is focusing on low end phones like lumia 520, since apple is not focusing on that but making phones like iPhone 5C and pricing it way too high.
there is alot other big market out side US , like India where there is no contract system so we have to buy phones off-contract which cost almost about 2 months salary. While google has optimized their OS to run efficiently on low specs.
so the chance of taking market share from ios is more than android . My opinion.
35. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
They already are taking away from iOS market share. PA posted an article a few days ago that clearly shows it happening all over the world.
36. tedkord (Posts: 11681; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
That's not what has happened so far.
50. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
I think it will. There is much truth in how much growth is happening in those emerging markets and WP is doing really well there. if they keep the one strategy, they will end up being number two. But things do not need to just happen with MS, Apple also has to do one thing we expect, and that is to continue to have very slow growth in emerging markets. They are simply too expensive.
3. Deaconclgi (Posts: 405; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Please fix the title. Windows Phone is NOT Windows. The Forbes article also said that Microsoft is acquiring Nokia and that is not true. Articles should be as accurate as possible without event a moment left open for confusion or misinformation.

3 updates in year one of WP8 i guesss thats good enough if you have slighest of idea about how these core updates are worked on its damn hard at start . i am not talking about features only but also the compatibilites and drivers like for quad cores extra RAM differnt cameras so its a tough shell to break in start. once that is done rest of features come at steady peace.
18. mayur007 (Posts: 565; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
bro .. what nokia is in the condition its totally because of so soft n fragile Microsoft..
slow updates and many more things bcoz of which it wont help Nokia and Microsoft as well
21. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
What? It's been since Oct of 2012 that WP8 was released and they still haven't given it any major updates. Meanwhile, 4.2.x and 4.3 and 4.4 came out in that same timeframe.
You can count GDR updates if you wish, but that still is mostly bug fixes for two of them, with one being a major feature update. That STILL doesn't put it ahead of Android in any way shape or form.
30. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
4.2 -- 4.3 there is no larg differnce only monior things added while 4.4 is looking to be major update others were patches of ICS
40. ballaonnabudget (Posts: 38; Member since: 15 May 2013)
I wouldn't call anything between 4.3 - 4.4 a major update. Androids last major update was probably 4.2.
43. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
4.3 added:
Bluetooth low energy support.
Bluetooth Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.3 support
OpenGL ES 3.0 support, allowing for improved game graphics
Restricted access mode for new user profiles
Filesystem write performance improvement by running fstrim command while device is idle
Dial pad auto-complete in the Phone app[113]
Improvements to Photo Sphere[115]
Reworked camera UI, previously introduced on Google Play edition phones
Added fine-grained application permissions controls (hidden by default)
4K resolution support
Many security enhancements, performance enhancements, and bug fixes
System-level support for geofencing and Wi-Fi scanning APIs
Background Wi-Fi location still runs even when Wi-Fi is turned off
Developer logging and analyzing enhancements
Added support for five more languages
Improved digital rights management (DRM) APIs
Right-to-left (RTL) languages now supported
Clock in the status bar disappears if clock is selected as lockscreen widget
That's pretty much more than all of WP8's GDR updates.
48. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
those are not on all devices, as well most of those are 'improvements'.
52. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
Any update to the core AOSP is available to any device OEM that chooses to use it.
53. ballaonnabudget (Posts: 38; Member since: 15 May 2013)
"That's pretty much more than all of WP8's GDR updates."
Thats a broad and incorrect statement, won't even bother to provide you with the pages of updates to GR1-3. Clearly you have no idea whats been done to the WP8 OS if you think that 4.3 update is more than all GR's combined.
55. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
I've already looked up the GDR updates - from bug fixes to minor changes to features.
GDR 1: improvements and bugfixes, including enhancements in Messaging, more efficient Bluetooth connectivity, and an "always-on" setting for WiFi connections. Wow, earth shatting update there! A wifi toggle for always on, something android had since what, 4.0 at least?
GDR2: FM Radio (oh wow, what a new feature for such a 2013 phone!), data sense for everyone (not new, verizon wp8 phones had it, android 4.0 added that), BT fixes, html5 updates and CalDAV/CardDAV. Shucks, all features already in android.
GDR3 - Driving mode - the only real feature added. 1080p support, wow, android will have to wait for that since, again, 4.0. Oooo quad core support! Another 2+ year old feature on Android. Wow, close apps on the multi task switcher, oops introduced in android 3.0.
That's what, 7-8 new features, of which there is only like 2 major ones there? Yep, I called Bullsht on your pages of feature updates.
59. utg001 (unregistered)
Android: 4.2 > 4.2.x > 4.3 > 4.4 > 5.0 / 4.5
Windows: WP8 > GDR1 > GDR2 > GDR3 > WP8.1
btw I agree that updates on WP have less than those on Android.
17. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1444; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
True WP lacks lots of basic features but thats about to change soon since almost all basic feature are expected to come out with WP 8.1 update and MS is planned to open the platform more also set to bring a file manager as well.
and the acquisition of nokia also helps in this matter since nokia is more dedicated to WP than MS in my opinion.

Really? Guess who does all the commercials for Nokia phones?
24. mayur007 (Posts: 565; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
they have to. they dont have any other options
+ what they show in there ads is only camera nothing more than that..
27. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
And that camera is a Nokia feature, not a MS WP feature!
Why can't Nokia advertise why we should buy a Nokia phone?
22. mayur007 (Posts: 565; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
but still cannot say..
windows and microsoft is surviving bcoz of NOKIA
what ever the feature and major things came from nokia to windows not from microsoft to windows..
all credit goes to nokia but still it cannot be said right now because apple is a trend starter...
+ ms does not have any xfactor to attract consumer accept
but its not all they have too much limitations ...
right now what i can say is
nokia(bcoz of trojan elop) and ms have hammered there own leg..

9. sumitrawal (Posts: 2; Member since: 06 Dec 2013)
That is high end phone man.apple will never give their device a cost of 10000 INR.windows and lagdroid have low end phones.that is y they are succeeding

Apple will release a bigger Iphone next year. It will come with some extra features. But it will be really costly according to some reports.
"Because their profit margin has gone down".
So I am not sure how people will react to it. Windows will definitely eat into Android's share. iOS share ? I am not so sure. Android will eat up iOS share, but then indirectly Windows will take up iOS share :)

Going to 4 inches didn't help their market share.

They wont and it will still be much more expensive then it needs to be and that would disqualify them.

pretty accurate statement. i'm waiting for 2015 to switch back to WP.
Can't see myself with a nokia device, maybe if MS manufactures its own phone or HTC.

Apple will last about as long as Nintendo. Nintendo is still profitable but we all know the Wii U is a sham compared to real consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One.
It'll play out about the same way. Android = PS4 , WP8 = Xbox One, and IOS = Wii U.
Except Apple will never do something as risky and gimmicky as the Wii to save themselves so Apple has nowhere to go but straight down. Might take awhile but Apple is reaching their saturation limit and will go down soon.
39. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Apple already did something risky...the orig iPhone. I hate Apple with a passion....but I gotta give them credit for jumping out there with the orig iPhone. It was risky, bold and it paid off.
Sometimes...if it aint broke...dont fix it. Apple should stick to what they do best, WP and Google stick to what they do best. Sad thing is WP doesnt know what it does best yet....I think WP is still finding its way, trying to find itself.
63. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Yes but Apple played their iPhone card in the beginning and Nintendo didn't play the Wii card until Sony and Microsoft forced their hand.
So when people finally get fed up with small screens and iOS, do you truly believe they have another iPhone card they can play? Not a chance.

Could you also tell us who's winning the super bowl this year so we can bet on it?
62. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
It's not that hard to see. Once Apple uses it's screen size increase they would simply have no more cards to play while Google and Microsoft will still have a full hand. It took them 3 years to increase the screen size to 4inches and and 6 iterations of IOS to make a substantial change in the OS. They are simply going to run out a cards and very soon.
Microsoft still has a lot of room to grow and Android is flexible and power hungry enough to actually make use of the latest technology.

According to this I dont think WP is a clear #3:
This is why I keep saying why can some folks claim WP is having great growth when they are a few % points separated from BB?
42. ballaonnabudget (Posts: 38; Member since: 15 May 2013)
That's in the US. Go look at BB worldwide compared to the others, its a joke.
44. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
We are about to be in 2014...thats almost 4 years since WP launched (it launched in Nov 2010 so will be fair and wait til Nov 2014 to call it 4 years)
All BB has to do is something, anything in the bext few years with their OS and phones and we will still be talking about WP and BB fighting for the #3 spot.
49. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
They did do something, z10 q10 and those were flops, there is a reason BB is looking for a buyer
54. ballaonnabudget (Posts: 38; Member since: 15 May 2013)
But that's the thing nobody except BB fans thinks there's an actual fight. BB has declined the last 4 quarters and is in 4th place worldwide by a good margin. The only thing that will save them now is a Christmas miracle.

WP can never surpass iOS, unless OEMs start to support WP again and problem is they already abandon the sinking ship.
66. brrunopt (Posts: 742; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
?? Nokia, HTC, huawei.and Samsung ; they aren't OEM's ?
56. jayjay1973 (Posts: 4; Member since: 21 Nov 2013)
selling 5 million $100 - 150 phones is not going to help WP. The only WP users I know also work for MS... They need to keep making great flagship phones and rebuild their name.
Nokia needs to keep making kick ass phones and do for WP what samsung did for android.
Having pride that WP sells the most $100 phones is not a good thing...
61. kobbycarson (Posts: 6; Member since: 06 Dec 2013)
If apple doesn't reduce the prices of their low spec-ed devices sure windows mobile can overtake them.
64. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Lol, it's a shame that WP potential growth past iOS in the future is going to be fueled solely by those crappy Lumia 5xx phones. It won't be because of the fact that people are using the best of what the Windows Phone platform has to offer. To those, it will be akin to a feature phone that they just need out of necessity for making phone calls, essentially.

A 20-month-old boy was referred for examination following a diagnosis of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD). He initially presented with delayed developmental milestones, hypotonia, and macrocephaly with a large anterior fontanelle. Pregnancy was uncomplicated; there was no related family history. Laboratory studies showed elevated very long-chain fatty acid and phytanic acid levels, and cultured skin fibroblast complementation analysis confirmed the diagnosis of NALD.

UIC Dialogue Initiative
UIC dialogue courses bring together students from different social identity groups for sustained engagement in credit-bearing courses. These courses employ active and engaged learning, in which students learn from each other, interdependently as they practice listening, asking questions, exploring contentious issues, and making connections with others. With the help of facilitators, students develop guidelines for respectful dialogic engagement, including working with disagreements and conflicts. Facilitators establish an inclusive and involved learning environment, use structured activities to promote reflection and integration of academic content, and model dialogic communication and collaboration.
The UIC Dialogue Initiative emerged from the campus's multi-year engagement with issues of campus diversity, in conjunction with its Diversity Strategic Thinking and Planning (DSTP) process. Development of the program is guided by the theory and research on diversity, culture, identity, and intergroup dialogue pedagogy.
Intergroup Dialogue happens in four phases: the first includes relationship building among the students. The second includes learning about social identity and processes of socialization, including meritocracy. In the third phase, students use the skills they have acquired to build strong relationships, and the content knowledge thy have gained about social identity, socialization, power, privilege and oppression to think through complex issues (i.e. affirmative action, immigration, gay marriage, religious conflict, etc.). In the final phase, students think about and plan how to work together for justice outside of their IGD class (Nagda, Gurin, Sorensen, & Zuniga, 2009).

6 Important Steps to Becoming a Dance Machine
It's Valentine's Day! The popular sentiment among Internet residents is that this is a day for depression and sadness. I think they're wrong. In fact, if you ask me, I say Valentine's Day is the least depressing "holiday" of all. A lot of people disagree with me on that, including my guests on this week's Unpopular Opinion podcast.
Joining me to celebrate this day for corporate expressions of love are Kathy Benjamin, frequent Cracked contributor and author of the book Funerals to Die For, and my comic friend Dave Waite, whom you may have seen on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, among other places.
We talk about Valentine's Day, which naturally leads into a discussion about drugs, depression, and the god-awful film Silver Linings Playbook. We also talk about dancing, which is the subject of this article.
Love makes a person do crazy things. Sometimes, dance is one of those things. It was with me, anyway. Someday, it could be for you as well. After all, dance lessons make a fantastic last-minute gift. It's like you're not even buying a gift. You're just buying the right to promise someone that the two of you will get together to enjoy a gift later, that gift being professional instruction on how to do the Hustle.
Should it ever come to pass that you decide to make good on that promise, don't just dive in all reckless like. A little planning will keep your dance lessons from becoming a disaster. Here are a few tips to keep in mind ...
#6. Find the Best Partner Possible
Why in the hell am I taking dance lessons? I'm assuming that's the question most of you have right now, because I'm so manly. Dance lessons don't really jibe with the rugged nature of my usual pursuits, which typically center on eating hot food and dismissing bands for bullshit reasons. That's all work stuff, though, and I definitely didn't do it for work. I haven't done anything work related that required me to move for any extended length of time in at least 10 years.
No, I took dance lessons for one reason ... love.
Not the love of dance, or anything wacky like that -- romantic love. My girlfriend really wanted to take dance lessons, and I really want to make her happy, so that means I'm dancing.
As you can see here, I'm as surprised as anyone.
As luck would have it, when this idea came up, we were living right around the corner from the Dance Doctor, the most authoritatively named dance studio on the planet.
For when your dance moves are the wrong kind of sick.
We've since moved, so that information is useless to you now, crazy bastards of the world. It was super useful to me at the time, though, because it meant learning to dance wouldn't interfere with my commitment to driving in Los Angeles as infrequently as possible. That's my kind of activity.
Besides, there's no one else I'd rather dance with. There's no one else I would dance with. I have history on my side when I say that. I love her a lot, and that comes in damn handy during dance lessons.
More on that later. For now, let's talk about the other most important thing to keep in mind.
#5. Find the Best Teacher Possible
"If you can walk, you can dance." That's the slogan plastered across the banner that hangs overhead at the Dance Doctor.
I'd seen the place plenty of times. I passed it each morning during my grueling commute to the office (about a five-minute walk, but very touristy). I'd never been inside, but now here I stood, looking at that banner, and I didn't believe it. Not the part about being there; the Dance Doctor is open to the public, like any other business.
There's also a mirror ball, just like at most other establishments I frequent.
It was the banner I didn't believe. I've heard similar theories put forth about writing and comedy. "If you can write, you can be a writer." "If you can talk, you can be a comic." Lies. Those are definitely lies. It takes natural, God-given talent to do what I do, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
If anyone was going to prove that theory to be true about dancing, I was as good of a candidate as any. I definitely only brought one of those talents to the table when we arrived for our first lesson.
From L-R: The talent I have, the talent I don't have.
Luckily, I was at the perfect place to test the theory, which probably explains why the banner was hanging there in the first place. See, the Dance Doctor isn't just the name of a place to take dance lessons; there's an actual doctor. His name is John Cassese, and now that I think about it, he probably isn't an actual doctor. He does make house calls, though.
But he's always at the studio when you need him.
The walls of his office are lined with pictures of celebrities who've called for his services at various locations all around the world. He earned his degree by helping people who find themselves suddenly in need of the ability to dance on short notice. Dance emergencies, if you will.
My dance needs were no emergency, fortunately, but John Cassese was still uniquely qualified to handle the situation at hand, which brings up the next thing you should keep in mind when exploring the idea of taking dance lessons.
#4. Know What You Want to Learn
If you're hoping to stick with a new endeavor, ideally you want it to be as personally enjoyable as possible right out of the gate. A good way to make sure that happens when you take dance lessons is to learn a dance that holds some sort of personal entertainment value or meaning for you. If you enjoy country music, learn to line dance. If you like swing music, learn to swing dance (and stay as far away from me as possible, weirdo).
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net
You're ruining Johnny Rockets for everyone else.
If you just show up and say "teach me to dance," there's no telling what step you'll learn first. If it's something that involves music you hate, that will definitely infringe upon your overall enjoyment. With that in mind, the girlfriend and I decided to learn the Hustle, because that involves listening to the Bee Gees a lot. If you don't like the Bee Gees, you're too dead inside to dance anyway.
Oh, hey, that's a clip from Saturday Night Fever, a movie that's about as intrinsically linked to the Hustle as the song the dance shares a name with.
How qualified is John Cassese to teach a person how to do the Hustle? Approximately this qualified:
That's an instructional video that can be found among the special features of the 30th anniversary DVD edition of Saturday Night Fever. We were literally in the best possible place to learn the Hustle. Not too long after we started learning, though, I was reminded of something else I'd failed to keep in mind regarding dance lessons.

Financial woes push older people to alcohol, smoking
During financially hard times, older people may turn to alcohol or smoking to de-stress themselves.
Based on 2,300 older Americans, the study found that some, particularly those with less education, were at risk of drinking if their finances went into a tailspin.
The same correlation was seen in terms of smoking, especially among relatively younger study participants (aged 65 at the study's start), the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs reports.
The findings do not prove that financial strain, per se, was the reason for the changed drinking and smoking habits. But it is known that some people use alcohol and cigarettes as a way of coping with stress, says lead researcher Benjamin A. Shaw, of the State University of New York.
"When you have a stressor that's not very controllable, people may focus on something to help control their emotional response to the stressor," Shaw says, according to a State University statement.
And financial woes may be particularly stressful for older adults, he notes. "They are out of the workforce, and they might feel like they have less time to recover or generally have less control over their financial situation," Shaw says.
The older adults in the study were surveyed periodically between 1992 and 2006, when the world was in stronger financial shape than it is now.
The ongoing financial crisis, coupled with the aging population, means the number of older adults facing money problems will probably only grow, Shaw's team says.
Overall, 16 percent of study participants reported increasing financial strain over the study period. Three percent reported increases in heavy drinking (more than 30 drinks a month), and one percent said they'd started smoking more.
