His mother.
Kathy Brown scours news sources for potential information about her son and then alerts Corey. September signifies the start of expanded Major League rosters. And Brown, the Syracuse Chiefs centerfielder, is considered a potential candidate for a call-up.
"You hear things here and there that I've read that my mom has sent me," Brown said Saturday, after the Chiefs fell 8-4 to visiting Rochester. "She keeps me posted on anything that has my name on it. So hopefully, I'll be able to get a call-up on Monday. I feel like I've had a good year and it would be very nice to end the year with a call-up."
On Saturday's first day of expanded Major League rosters, the Nationals recalled left-handed pitcher John Lannan, outfielder Eury Perez and catcher Sandy Leon from Syracuse. Perez made his Major League debut Saturday when he was inserted into the Washington lineup in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement for Jayson Werth, who left the game with leg cramps. St. Louis defeated the first-place Nationals 10-9.
The Chiefs, who needed to win their last three games to reach .500 on the season, botched that chance Saturday night in front of an announced crowd of 7,981 at Alliance Bank Stadium.
Brown went 0-for-4 in the game, but the Chiefs centerfielder has nonetheless made a strong case for extending his season. He set a Syracuse franchise record when he homered in five straight games from May 20-25. Chiefs manager Tony Beasley said Brown – a left-hander -- hits with power to all fields.
Brown is hitting .284 from his lead-off spot with a team-best 23 home runs.
"When we're done Monday, we'll probably have a few more guys (going to Washington). I would anticipate that Corey may be one of those guys," Beasley said. "He's had a good year. He's been a consistent player all year long. He's been able to put up some numbers offensively – some production numbers and he's had a good average. He's definitely earned the opportunity to play beyond here."
The Nationals called him up twice this season. Brown recorded his first Major League hit on July 28, when he homered off Milwaukee pitcher Randy Wolf. Brown's home run landed in Brewers' bullpen. His high school coach attended the game and Brown gave him the ball with instructions to deliver it to his mom back in Tampa.
The Nationals promoted Brown last September, but a staph infection in his knee required surgery and limited him to just three games with the big league club. Brown, 26, said it started as a pimple on his kneecap and blossomed into the dangerous MRSA. He assumes bacteria from a kneepad was the culprit. He said the knee required two drainings and a hospital stay.
"Hopefully this September, if I get called up, I won't have to worry about staph again," he said.
He is trying, he said, to keep stray thoughts of a promotion from softening his focus over the Chiefs' final two games. But Brown admits it's not easy, especially with his mom providing detailed reports. The Nationals are in first place. And on Tuesday, he might be wearing a Washington uniform.
"Whether I got called up yesterday or I get called up on the 4th, either way I'm very grateful for that," Brown said. "You watch the games, you see all the sellout crowds. It's exciting. I just hope that in a few days I'll be able to be part of it in some way."
Football at the Stadium – Chiefs management will open Alliance Bank Stadium on Wednesday to allow fans to watch the NFL season opener on the large, high definition left-field scoreboard. The game pits the Super Bowl champion New York Giants vs. the Dallas Cowboys. Gates to the stadium swing open at 8 for the 8:30 start. Outside food and/or drink will not be permitted, but pub food and a full bar will be offered in the Hank Sauer Room along the right-field line. The Chiefs will repeat the offer next Saturday, when Syracuse University plays USC at MetLife Stadium. The gates again open 30 minutes before kickoff. The SU-USC game is scheduled for 3:30. Parking and admission is free for both football events. Patrons should enter on the first base side of the stadium.
Donna Ditota can be reached at 470-2208 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

1950 Factory team car: 1951 Philippe Etancelin: 1954 Terry Hall - Fred Orgeron - Lindley Locke: 1978 Peter Giddings
Of the four T26C of the second generation equipped with the new DA engine, 110054 is, along with 110051, the only entirely new Talbot Lago to be built in 1951 and represents the ultimate Talbot Lago by way of specification and performance.
Used exclusively by the factory during the whole of 1950, 110054 comes back from the 500 miles of Rafaela and into the hands of Georges Grignard who handles its sale on behalf of the receiver as sadly the company is bankrupt!
At the age of 52 and undecided on the future of his career, Etancelin had sold his T26C SA (110008) at the end of the 1950 season. The sale of the special factory 110054 rekindles his desire to race. Etancelin purchases 110054 and continues to race regularly during the 1951 season and then less often in 1952. By the 1952 season the big Formula One Talbot Lago is truly past its competitive best.
At the end of 1952, Etancelin retires. However, in 1953 he makes an exception to his decision and reappears once at the GP of Rouens but it is at the wheel of an early ex factory car with all of the latest specifications (110002).
In 1954, Etancelin, to the joy of British enthusiasts, appears once more at the wheel of 110054 during his two final races in England.
At the end of the i954 season, Etancelin retires definitely and sells 110054 to American Terry Hall who buys it through James Page of Buffalo. The twin choke side draft Zehith carburettors which were on 110054 when it arrived are not usable because they had been badly corroded by methanol. Bob Wood now in charge of the maintenance of 110054 experiments with different combinations, including twin choke Solex side drafts before settling on three large SU carburettors. On a rolling road dyno 110054 produces (its claimed) 250 bhp at the rear wheels!
Terry Hall has problems with his ankles and knees caused most likely by his career as an ice skater with the Ice Follies. He gives up racing and due to cash problems he cannot pay the invoices from Bob Wood who finally takes 110054 in part compensation. Wood then sells the car to Jack Eubank and Phil Carter.
Frequent problems with the engine make Eubank and Carter contemplate replacing the engine with a Corvette but they continue to use the car as is until finally 110054 suffers a spun bearing.
Fred Orgeron then purchases 110054 and rapidly realises that the car is really tired and out of date in so far as competition is concerned. Orgeron decides that the best chance he has is to run it in SCCA sports car races.
Orgeron commissions Conrad Scott and Jack Sutton to make a new body in aluminium attached to the original firewall. This body features one seat on either side of the driver's seat, which remains in the central position. Roger Bloxham of Long Beach completely rebuilds the engine and effects further modifications to the body. 110054 takes to the road again under the name of "The Orgeron Special" and an article appears in the magazine "Sports Car Specials". Given a new lease of life, Jack Eubank once again races 110054 until Fred Orgeron decides to sell it to Lindley Locke of Los Angeles, the owner of several Talbots, who simply stores the car and makes no attempt to restore it.
Peter Giddings then hears about the car after a chance conversation with Locke at Laguna Seca Raceway. "After a long negotiation, I finally in 1978 became the owner of 110054. Of course, two T26Cs (I already owned 110007) in my collection were too many so I decided to sell one. Even although 110007 was the more historic, it was 110054 with its more developed engine that 1 finally decided to keep. In fact, to acquire 110054 I had to purchase a Talbot Grand Sport Tourer No. 110117 together with a spare engine. Even this was only part of the purchase price! At the time I admit that I wasn't really aware of the amount of work that was required. Lindley Locke had moved often during the period that he owned 110054 and on each of those occasions he lost or misplaced a few parts. On top of this, when I detached the sports body that was on the car, the chassis appeared dirty and tired. Part of the rear structure which supports the GP gas tank and the shocks was also missing.
To rebuild the car in single seater form we had to build a new body. 1 knew that the scuttle on some of the later T26Cs was lower but I did not know whether this was the case for 110054. On the other hand, I had seen in "Le Sang Bleull that some DAs had the same handsome body style as 110007. Paul Grist in England fabricated 110054's new GP body, using his own T26C and 110052 which belonged to Count Dunhoff as a pattern.
Finally, after 1.5 years of effort, patience and expense, 110054 was ready and reappeared in vintage car races. As for the three-person sports body, I sold it at the end of 1978 through Jack Hagemann to a friend of his who was going to mount it on a Scarab chassis. In fact, the adaptation for what turned out to be only a replica Scarab chassis needed too many modifications. Thus it still awaits a chassis to its dimension".

Does your dog get tired of the same old song and dance?
If you're looking for a fun new way to entertain your dog – and your family – check out Laurel Canyon Animal Company's newest CD.
According to owner Skip Haynes, the Los Angeles-based record label is the only one in the world that creates music about, for and with animals.
Haynes composes and creates all the catchy tunes on the company's 12 CDS with his partner, Dana Walden, who designs the artwork.
Haynes and Walden collaborate with other artists, including animals and children, in their musical projects. They also hire animal communicators to help inform them of dog musical preferences.
Their newest CD, "It's All Right if My Dog Sleeps on the Bed All Night With Me," addresses a universal question dog owners must face. The CD is a compilation of the pair's favorite songs created over the last 12 years and some new tunes.
The last track, a song called "Squeaky Deaky," was created with the help of an animal communicator who surveyed more than 200 dogs for their musical preferences.
Listen to "Squeaky Deaky" here.
Laurel Canyon Animal Company's music isn't limited to dogs. On its third CD, the company signed a parrot named Carla to its label, who sings lead vocals on the title track, "I'm a Green Chicken."
Haynes and Walden also produced "Cat-A-Tonic," a CD dedicated to cat lovers, as well as songs inspired by gorillas and dolphins.
Their music has be featured by organizations such as the American Humane Association, Best Friends Animal Society, The Rainforest Conservation Fund and various other shelters and rescue groups.
To celebrate the recent redesign of their website, the folks at Laurel Canyon Animal Company are offering a free song download for animal lovers or their pets. Check out the sound samples on their website, choose a song and click on the link to an e-mail request for a free song.

EFF15: Keep Blogging for Freedom; Seven More Days to Enter Contest
Blog-a-thon posts are surging -- if you haven't been following the inspiring tales through Technorati and Pubsub, you're missing out! To keep the momentum going and to give you another chance to enter your own story in EFF's contest, we've extended the Blog-a-thon submission deadline to August 2nd.
Here are some recent highlights:
HangLeft: "It became obvious that Intel's master database of CPU serial numbers would be an extreme invasion of privacy intended to empower their marketing department, the public's right to privacy be damned. I was furious at the idea."
Liza: "We don't usually lose privacy protections in great dramatic moments. Instead, they get slowly smaller and less effective. When privacy protections are gone, instead of feeling exposed and at risk, we more often simply accept that 'this is how life is.'"
Nightsoil: "I realized that a failed scientist and musician just might make a good IP attorney. It is my hope that with my education I can somehow effect change that will help preserve what is beautiful and true by ensuring more artists and scientists can communicate new expression and ideas in a way that is beneficial to us all."
Joe Hall: "What incensed me more than the fact that Diebold misused intellectual property law was what I learned in the process about the machinery that is increasingly casting and counting our votes."
Yovko, translating from Bulgarian: "Perhaps it seems it is too far away from here, probably it is still not too scary, but we should never forget what happened with the software patents."

social media: Connecting America's Army with America's peopleMay 10, 2011 | Master Sergeant Terrence Hynes
Wow, many of you have provided great feedback from my post that was published in the NCO Journal this month (APRIL 2011 pg 42-43, Recruiting the All-Volunteer Force). I was a little disappointed that it was not pointed out to readers that it was actually a blog from armystrongstories.com. That would have been great exposure for the site Army-wide and perhaps captured new readership. After my PCS move to California is complete, I am thinking of writing an article for the Recruiter Journal that points out the great benefits of this site.
I have worked to advertise the site on personal and professional social media sites over the last year. I would really like to see the site expand to a larger high school and college age audience, as I know there are questions out there people would like to ask without walking into a recruiting office.
I especially like that young people can hear from Soldiers and Families of all backgrounds from a non-recruiting perspective. When I started out on this site, I expected that feedback would mostly come from civilians, but as it turned out, I have had great conversations here with members of the Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard from across the nation.
I think there is value in marketing this site to the public just a little better. In my years with USAREC I have seen a whole lot of money spent on a whole lot of stuff that lacks benefit. Using national advertising dollars to grow this site would be money well spent!
The Profession of Arms deserves a forum like this to help connect America's Army with America's people. There is some serious pride among the warriors that post here.
I would like to extend my thanks to all the great bloggers and readers who have taken the time to provide feedback and engage in professional discussions an every topic imaginable here. HooaH!
Until next time,

'Dark Knight Rises'' Michael Caine on Christopher Nolan: 'Chris is very secretive'
Christopher Nolan is clearly skilled in the art of the ambush - just ask Michael Caine.
"I was at home one Sunday morning about nine years ago, and there was a knock on the door, and there was Chris standing there," recalled Caine, speaking at a press conference for "The Dark Knight Rises" over the weekend. "And I recognized him [as] the man who had directed two films...'Memento' and the other one...'Insomnia.' And he had a script, and I thought 'oh, this is gonna be a lovely little thriller we're gonna do.'"
Little did he realize that Nolan had something considerably bigger in mind.
"So he came in...and I said 'what's the name of the movie?'" Caine continued, speaking in that famous cockney accent. "And he said, 'Batman Begins.'...and I thought 'bloody hell, he's gonna do some great big movie!' And I thought, 'I'm too old play Batman, I wonder who he wants me to be?' I knew it wasn't Catwoman. And he said, 'the butler.'"
Understandably, the idea of playing the hired help in a big-budget superhero movie isn't bound to be a welcome one to a two-time Oscar winner ("I thought, 'I don't know whether I want to say...dinner is served, would you like another bowl of soup?" the actor recalled). Not helping matters was the fact that Nolan wasn't even willing to leave the script with him to read overnight.
"He gave me the script, and...I said 'I'll give you a ring tomorrow.' And he said - Chris is very secretive, very secretive - and he said 'no, I want you to read the script now and I'm taking it away with me.' He didn't want me to keep it! So he had a cup of tea with my missus, I read it, and I said 'yes, I'll do it.'...I was stunned by the writing, because it was a relationship...it wasn't just like cipher characters that you normally get in these big special effect stunt movies. They were real, real people, and [it was] written like a drama. And I said yes, and I've never regretted saying that for one moment."
The lesson? If you're an acting legend and your quiet Sunday morning at home is interrupted by a knock at the front door, it might just behoove you to answer it.
"The Dark Knight Rises" hits theaters on July 20.

Catholic priest missing in Baghdad

From a source in Iraq:
Update as of Sept. 24, 2006 Father Basil reportedly has been released. Thank you all for your prayers

From a source in Iraq:
A third priest may now have become a victim of the violence and lawlessness in Baghdad. Father Basil Salem Yaldo was last seen leaving a church building in the Dora area of Baghdad. He is the personal secretary to the Catholic Patriarch for Iraq. At the time of his disappearance, a car bomb had exploded in the vicinity and a round-up of suspects took place by Iraqi and Coalition Security Forces. It is not known if Father Basil was taken into custody, is being held for ransom, or worse.
The first priest to be abducted was forced to leave the country after being brutalized and then released. The second is still being treated for injuries suffered during weeks of physical and mental abuse. He was released only after a series of ransoms were paid.
Please keep Father Basil in your prayers.

PSA: Phone Scam – Fake Sprint Call from Caller ID 888-211-4727
This is a Public Service Announcement from your friendly neighborhood Undershirt Guy.
Was driving back from an appointment today when I received a phone call with the caller id of 888-211-4727.
I answered and a recorded voice said it was a security call from "Sprint". The recording said that there was some fraud alert on my account and instructed me to enter my account security PIN to resolve the issue. Of course I DID NOT enter my PIN.
Coincidentally, my mobile service provider is Sprint, so I was curious. I called the number back, and sure enough, it was Sprint Customer Service.
Since I've worked in the telecommunications/voip world before, I know Caller ID can be spoofed (faked), so I secretly gave the scammers a small little kudos for being creative and sending Sprint's actual Customer Service telephone number into my Caller ID when they called me. At least they aren't totally stupid.
I spoke with a Sprint Customer Service agent and confirmed they had not tried to contact me (no duh). Did a little research on the internet when I got back to my trusty personal computer, and found many others who reported the same issue on 800notes.com (search for 888-211-4727).
Friendly advice: Never give out ANY personal/private or security information to anyone WHO CALLS YOU. When in doubt, call them back.
Wear your undershirt proudly!

I just recieved a call from this number today, September 13, 2016.
It was a "SPRINT" representative needing information to transfer my phone number. Sprint is not my cell phone provider. I was given a different phone number to call back, 877-503-3269.
They are actually calling me again now, five minutes after the intial call.
I see this is an old thread, but I bought my phone from the sprint store. I took out the battery and there is a sticker underneath it where the DEC and HEX numbers that says 'For information call 18882114PCS' so i don't think its a scamming number.
I have repeatedly received calls from this number. The same woman has left messages claiming she is from AT & T and requesting the last four numbers of my social security number to confirm my phone number transfer. Ya right, you want the last four of my social so you can try to scam my accounts.
I just got a call from the very same number and it is a scammer who is fraudulently using Sprint as their company to get Sprint customers information for fraudulent use.
Nearly 4 years later, this scam is still running. Thyey called me at 9:30 on a Saturdat night, about an account that has been closed for 2 years.
I have the same email for $1600 and change. It came to a work address and looked exactly like my personal Sprint bills so I thought I'd check to make sure my boss hadn't done something I was unaware of first. Took a look at the hyperlinks (without clicking) and they looked off so I am trashing this!
Yes, I also got 2 of the from AT&T also today with two different amounts. I'm afraid I will eventually delete a good email in the process of deleting all these bogus ones.
Just received the same scam email. Subject: Your Sprint bill is now available online; sender: [email protected] Had a link to 'pay bill now.'
It looks perfectly legit. No broken English, weird logos, or any other tell-tale signs. I even felt the need to call Sprint to be sure no one had used my name to open an account – it was so legit looking. No damage done, luckily – just another phishing attempt. Sheesh.
I got an email today saying that it was an invoice for my cellphone. I do not have a sprint account. I called the number above that was listed and they said their computers were down and I would need to call back in an hour. I'm not sure if I reached the actual Sprint or not. Many people might just pay the bill. There is way too much of this going on these day.
This one looked pretty real, enough for me to call. Criminals are getting much more savy.
This is all that would copy.
Bill Period: June 10 – July 9, 2012
Total Due by August 2 $1731.12
Note: All online payments are made in a secure environment.

that call has been making my friend go mad…
I bet this scammer's been busy making the rounds. I looked up the phone number and got this link http://www.callercenter.com/888-211-4727.html.
Probably it's just your smart girlfriend; she want to check on your voicemails ;D
I know that feeling i get mail from some lady i dont know and dont wanna know. Happens so often not really but i seen patterns

"Do you ever just want to delete every sentence you're saying, even as you're saying them?" a character asks in writer-director James L. Brooks' "How Do You Know." It's a clever line that taps directly into an almost universal feeling: Most of us never quite manage to say exactly what we want to say with the words we wish we could use.
Unless, that is, you have Brooks scripting your daily dialogue. Whatever challenges his characters may face, they are almost never tongue-tied.
Brooks learned his craft on some of the most memorable TV shows of the 1970s. But his gift for gab truly paid off when he moved to the big screen with 1983's Oscar-winning "Terms of Endearment" and 1987's "Broadcast News," still one of the smartest, most quotable and — with its warnings about the deterioration of journalistic standards — eerily prescient romantic comedies ever. Brooks hit the jackpot again in 1997 with the delightfully off-center "As Good As It Gets."
There's a danger in being able to conjure up memorable lines, however. If you're not careful, the audience will hear the author, not the character; as in "The Wizard of Oz," the hard-working man behind the curtain will be revealed, disrupting the illusion that all these words are springing from the mouths of the stars onscreen, not from the mind of the brilliant screenwriter.
'How Do You Know'
3 out of 4 stars
Rated: PG-13 for sexual content and some strong language.
Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson, Kathryn Hahn.
Director: James L. Brooks
Run time: 113 minutes
That happens occasionally in the slightly bumpy but highly likable "Know," which examines the intersecting crises of former Olympic softball star Lisa "Smalls" Jorgenson (Reese Witherspoon), celebrated baseball player Matty Reynolds (Owen Wilson), banker George Madison (Paul Rudd) and George's boss, Charles (a puffed-up Jack Nicholson, mining an impressive amount of laughs out of a handful of scenes), who sometimes remembers he is George's dad as well.
Lisa, who is well past 30, realizes the sands are running on her career as an athlete. George and Charles are frantically trying to deal with an impending federal investigation. Meanwhile, the proudly promiscuous Matty uneasily confronts the notion that a relationship can last longer than a seventh-inning stretch; when he works up the nerve to say "monogamous," he makes it sound like an enticing new flavor at Baskin-Robbins.
Adrift and unsettled, Lisa moves in with Matty only to discover that, sports backgrounds aside, she might have more in common with George. The love triangle doesn't quite pay off, though, because George (even if he might have a prison sentence in his future) always seems like a better bet than devil-may-care Matty, a light-headed dim bulb whose disarming charm can't distract Lisa from noticing the dozens of spare toothbrushes he keeps in his bathroom for guests.
Unlike "As Good As It Gets," which smoothly wove together three complex storylines, "Know" takes a while to find its rhythm and it comes to a slightly jarring end. Even so, the meandering plot doesn't weigh down Rudd, who once again demonstrates he has few peers when it comes to creating convivial guys with just enough edginess to make them stand out. He's absolutely magnetic here, dredging up the humor in George's grim situation and the pathos in his eagerness to win over Lisa.
Wilson also is endearing, softening up a potentially poisonous playboy just enough that we can see why Lisa would overlook his many shortcomings.
On the other hand, Witherspoon holds off at first on showing us Lisa's cuddly side, concentrating initially on establishing the confusion and anxiousness of someone who adorns her mirrors with upbeat aphorisms on Post-It notes, a woman who's been hurled into the crossroads without a map.
The strongest stretches of "Know" rank as vintage Brooks, especially Matty's "inspirational" story about a friend's misguided revenge scheme and the scenes in which George and Charles can't determine where their professional lives end and their relationship begins ("You can't cry, you ethical mutant!" George rages when a self-pitying Charles attempts to turn on the crocodile tears). Of course, the movie is driven by its dialogue, much of which is smart and sparkling and exactly the way we would all sound if we were lucky enough to live in a perfect Brooksian universe.

Stracciatelle, meaning Little Rags in Italian, is a common soup that the old folks made for us when we were sick. It is really a Roman version of egg-drop soup, Italian style.
This recipe is so easy and quick to make that it is perfect for a last minute, in a hurry, first course or a stand alone soup. Over the years the recipe has evolved with the use of various ingredients. The real beauty of this soup is that it can be freshly made in individual servings, and in under five minutes. This is a great soup to make on a cold winter's day.
6 cups chicken broth. If you do not have your own, use reduced fat and sodium broth
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano cheese
3 tablespoons bread crumbs. Use your own seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
Pinch of white pepper
Optional pinch of nutmeg
Modern Italian Kitchen Version.
This is a single serve portion that has a slightly thicker consistency.
8 oz. can of reduced fat and sodium chicken broth, or use your own
2 large eggs or a 4 oz. container of egg substitute
2 oz. of seasoned Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons of grated cheese
Pinch of white pepper
Optional pinch of nutmeg
Bring 5 cups of the chicken broth to a boil. In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, bread crumbs, and parsley in one cup of cold broth.
Slowly pour the mix into the boiling broth and stir with a fork until the egg mixture separates into little shreds or rags as the Italians call it. Continue to stir for a little less than three to five minutes.
For the modern version, bring the broth to a boil and stir in the mixture. Reserve one tablesppon of broth to add to the mixture before it is added to the boiling broth.
Fresh parsley and nutmeg are options. I do not add any salt due to the sodium in the grated cheese. This soup that should be served immediately. This may also be finished with grated cheese.

Warren County residents are no longer in the dark.
Power was restored to nearly all county residents this evening after damaging thunderstorms Thursday afternoon knocked out power to thousands in the area.
While a few small outages dotted the online map, Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman Jim Markey said crews were wrapping up repairs and power should return any moment.
"For all intensive purposes, all customers that were impacted by the storm have had their power restored," he said.
This evening's service comes after 575 were left without power at 11 a.m. this morning, down from 5,500 Friday morning. In northern New Jersey, 1,300 remained without power this morning, nearly all of which has also been restored.
In Northampton County, all storm-related power outages have been resolved for PPL customers according to an online map. Forty customers were still without power Friday night, but they have all been restored.

This is all kinds of wrong. Some guy in Holland named Bart Jansen decided to pay tribute to his dead cat by having it stuffed . . . then turning it into a remote controlled HELICOPTER.
In addition to being a nut in general, Jansen is also an aviation nut. He named the cat Orville, after Orville Wright of the Wright Brothers (Does anyone else feel like this guy's been plotting this for years?) But now he's calling it the "Orvillecopter".
There's video of him flying it on YouTube, and it's seriously creepy. He had it stuffed with all four legs stretched out so it's spread eagle. Then he attached rotors to the end of each leg, plus landing gear on its stomach.
This was all done in the name of "art." Jansen is an artist, and it's part of an art exhibit in Amsterdam.
Oh, by the way, he made a SECOND COPTER out of an ostrich. Wow.

Islamic supremacism at non-Muslim religious universities, expect a Holder lawsuit --
Muslims Want Catholic School to Provide Room Without Crosses
Catholic University has been accused of violating the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers, according to a complaint filed with the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights.
The 60-page complaint said Muslim students "must perform their prayers surrounded by symbols of Catholicism – e.g., a wooden crucifix, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians which many Muslim students find inappropriate."
Patrick Reilly, the president of the Cardinal Newman Society, an organization that promotes Catholic identity among Catholic schools, seemed stunned by the complaint.
"I don't know what the attorney wants them to do – if he wants them to actually move the Basilica or if the Muslim students can find someplace where they don't have to look at it," he told Fox News. Catholic University, he said, is a Catholic institution.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Who made it: Directed by William Dieterle. With Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Edmond O'Brien.
Audience appeal: 8 and up.
Once upon a time: In 15th-century France, the royals rule absolutely — although often it's their sadistic minions who wield the real power. So it is in Paris, where Frollo, the high justice, continues to oppress the poor and persecute the gypsies. There is one young woman, Esmerelda, who catches his eye — but jealousy drives him to plot her destruction, instead. Except to do that, he may need the wretched Quasimodo's help — and beneath his fearsome visage, the deformed bellringer hides a gentle heart.
Inappropriate material: There's violence, of course, and some horror, but not much beyond that — Hollywood censors had already had their way with Victor Hugo's story, which was seen as antireligious.
Why kids will like it: Whether or not they've seen the Disney cartoon (which makes the hunchback as cute as it dares, but still steers close to this version of the story) they're probably already likely to identify with the outcast Quasimodo, and get caught up in his troubles — almost as much as they'll cheer his triumphs. Like Frankenstein's creature, he's not so much monstrous as misunderstood (although he is a little too fond of molten lead).
Why adults will like it: Charles Laughton is extraordinary in the part, and inspired generations of young monster fans to scuttle about yelling "Sanctuary!" But be sure to take a moment to enjoy the incredible, gargoyle-bedecked sets, too (at a reported $3 million, this was RKO's biggest production at the time), or a supporting cast that includes Maureen O'Hara (in her American debut, as Esmerelda) and Edmond O'Brien in his first film as Gringoire the poet. (Good as Cedric Hardwicke is as the villain, though, we still miss first-choice Basil Rathbone.)
Fast forward/freeze frame: : The confused might appreciate a pause to explain the then-interlocking power of church and state; the squeamish might prefer it if you skipped some of the whipping.
Fun trivia: : Lon Chaney Sr. starred in the most famous silent version (there were five), and when RKO decided to remake it, they looked first to famous monsters — Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre, Robert Morley (wait, what?) even Lon Chaney Jr. Laughton got the demanding part, though, and it rivals "Mutiny on the Bounty" as his richest film role.
Teachable moments: Hugo's not read much today, but he was a pioneering author at the time — and modern teens might be interested to see, not only how different his original novel is, but also how raw and radical.
Double features: Certainly Chaney's 1923 silent is the obvious choice - but if you want another film about a fearsome outcast, there's a lot of mood (if far too much music) in Claude Rains' 1943 "The Phantom of the Opera," another story about a mysterious Parisian.

Cards Against Humanity has taken the party game circuit by storm with cards that provoke many to laugh, blush or just shake their heads.
A black card is selected with a leading message and a blank. Each player holds ten white cards that serve as potential answers for the blanks and a card czar picks a winner from the answers players select.
Known for its raunchiness, Cards will also now be known for its philanthropy.
The company offered customers a deal-- spend $12, get 12 random gifts. On the tenth day, a dollar from each sale went to public schools around the country through the website DonorsChoose.org for a total of $100,000.
The proceeds aided 299 projects for low-income schools across the country and benefited nearly 40,000 kids, per People.

We're in the tropical air with dew point temperatures near 70 for one more night. Expect a few leftover showers overnight, but the tropical downpours are winding down.
A cold front will push through the area Tuesday morning. There may be a leftover shower through late morning, but during the afternoon, you'll notice a bluer sky, a westerly breeze with drier air moving in. Afternoon dew point temperatures will fall through the 60s. By Tuesday evening, pleasant air will move in and nature's air conditioner takes over thanks to Canadian high pressure.
Our pattern is a dry one going forward. Cold fronts starved for moisture will move through every 2 - 3 days. Each one will have a reinforcing batch of dry pleasant air with an autumn chill behind it. High pressure systems from northern Canada will visit us through the weekend and any showers we get will be brief with the passage of each cold front.
Finally, back to sun gear! Enjoy.
Overnight: Showers and thunderstorms, ending with leftover showers. Very humid. Low near 70.
Tuesday: A lingering shower early. Muggy start, and a pleasant, dry finish with developing afternoon sunshine. High near 78.
Tuesday Night: Mainly clear, cool, and comfy. Low near 50.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny and more comfortable. High 78.
Thursday: Sun and clouds. Late day brief shower. High near 80.
Friday: Sunny, breezy and pleasant. High 72.
Weekend: Mainly dry with sunshine. Lows 50s, Highs 70s.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When the NFL salary cap is removed -- in all probability -- for the 2010 free agent signing period beginning March 5, some teams have said they will operate under a self-imposed spending limit.
The Browns say they will not.
"We'll spend what we think we need to spend and be smart about it," said General Manager Tom Heckert. "We're going into it thinking we'll do what we need to do."
The team salary cap in 2009 was $127 million. Some teams have established their own cap of eight to 10 percent above that for 2010. Part of the reason for doing so is to keep the team salary structure in line in case a cap is re-established for 2011 or beyond.
"We have to be prepared [for a cap] just in case something does get done," Heckert said. "We're going to do what we think we need to do. We're not looking at it either way. If there are players we feel can help us, we'll go out and do it. I really don't think it's going to change much from that aspect."
Heckert said owner Randy Lerner has not given him a salary figure to not exceed.
"You just have to be smart, how you allocate money and be prepared for what's going to happen in the future ... which is unknown," he said.
Decisions, decisions: Heckert said much of the work done on free agency by him and his new staff has been on evaluating the Browns' free agents. "We think we have a pretty good idea of what we're going to do, but we're not 100 percent locked in on that," he said.
The Browns' unrestricted free agents are receiver Mike Furrey, tight end Michael Gaines, guard Rex Hadnot, defensive back Hank Poteat, tackle Ryan Tucker and offensive lineman Billy Yates. Tucker has said in radio interviews that he considers his career over, though he has not filed retirement papers.
Furrey, a league finalist for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, said at the Super Bowl that he hopes to return to the Browns, but he had no idea of their thinking.
The Browns' restricted free agents are safety Abram Elam, tight end Greg Estandia, running back Jerome Harrison, linebacker D'Qwell Jackson, safety Brodney Pool, linebacker Matt Roth, linebacker Jason Trusnik and fullback Lawrence Vickers.
These present some interesting decisions. In order to protect against losing them, the Browns can tender each player a one-year contract offer based on pre-determined amounts. The size of the tender determines the level of draft-pick compensation the Browns would receive if another team signs a player to an offer sheet. The Browns would then have seven days to match the new offer.
A player's original draft status plays a role in this process. If the Browns tender a player the minimum of $1.176 million, another team can sign away the player for the cost of the player's original draft round. Elam and Trusnik were undrafted, so tendering them low could result in either leaving for nothing in return.
Jackson, Pool and Roth were all second-round picks. Harrison was taken in the fifth round and Vickers in the sixth.
Teams might feel Harrison and Vickers are bargains for fifth- and sixth-round picks, respectively, so the Browns might have to give them high tenders of $2.521 million (first-round compensation) to protect them from leaving.
There is also a second-round compensation tender, but because Jackson, Pool and Roth were originally taken in the second round, that option doesn't apply. The Browns either tender them for original draft compensation ($1.176 million) or first-round ($2.521 million).
Pool is the only player among the RFAs to complete five seasons, so his tenders are $100,000 higher than the four-year RFAs. Pool's tender for first-round compensation would be $2.621 million.
Pool not retiring: Pool's 2009 season ended when he suffered the fourth concussion of his career Nov. 29 at Cincinnati and missed the final five games. Pool, 25, contemplated retiring, but his agent said he plans to resume his career.
"Brodney absolutely intends on playing football for many years to come," agent Ben Dogra wrote in an email. "He has been checked out and has a clean bill of health. He is anxious to play football in 2010."
Medical updates: There have been no official updates on other Browns who finished the season on injured reserve. These include linebacker Eric Barton (neck), running back James Davis (shoulder), tight end Steve Heiden (knee), Jackson (pectoral), defensive lineman C.J. Mosley (ankle), quarterback Brady Quinn (foot), tackle Shaun Rogers (leg), linebacker David Veikune (knee) and punter Dave Zastudil (knee).
Heckert, however, said, "I think all these guys are going to be ready to go."
Back to school: Two Browns players were among 77 league-wide taking advantage of the NFL's Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program. Safety Mike Adams and tight end Robert Royal attended a four-day educational session at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg has battled union leaders, politicians and other tough characters during his two terms in office -- but it took a groundhog to actually draw blood.
The original
The city's prognosticating rodent, Charles G. Hogg, also known as Staten Island Chuck, bit through Bloomberg's glove and chomped on his left index finger when the mayor was trying to coax the animal into view with an ear of corn.
"It nicked his hand," said Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser.
The mayor, who is left-handed, used a napkin to wrap the cut until he could check with his doctor about further treatment. He was told there was no risk of rabies because the 2-year-old animal was born and raised in captivity and has had no interaction with other animals.
Both the groundhog and the mayor were able to collect themselves and participate in the annual ritual at the Staten Island Zoo. Chuck did not see his shadow -- unlike his more famous counterpart in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, who did.
Legend has it that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, spring will come early.
Bloomberg said Chuck had better be right. "If Chuck embarrasses us, this is going to be a very long winter for the Staten Island Zoo," he said.
Bloomberg joked at another event later that city residents should rest assured that their mayor is "willing to put himself and his physical well-being in harm's way to protect them" against what might have been "a terrorist rodent."

Si View pool opens, director hired
NORTH BEND - All the papers have been signed and the Si View Community Center Pool was slated to open June 3.
As of the Valley Record's deadline, Si View Park District Board of Commissiones chair Kevin Haggerty said King County workers were scheduled to begin operating the pool June 3. While commissioners have said King County will not be involved in the facility in the future, since the workers were in place and had been properly trained they would be utilized on an interim basis to get the pool up and running.
Haggerty said the commissioners also had hired an interim director to help determine which management plan is best for the facility. Don Williams, a former parks and recreation director with the city of Tukwila will be with the park district until the end of the year.
The former county facility had been mothballed since Jan. 1 as part of a cost-cutting response to a 2003 budget shortfall of $52 million.
On Feb. 4, North Bend voters approved the formation of the Si View Metropolitan Park District. The measure allows the district's five elected commissioners the authority to establish levy rates - expected to be 28 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation - without voter approval. Those funds, about $400,000, will be used to reopen and operate the Si View facility.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Bankrupt Marcal Paper Mills Inc. will be sold to a Texas bank for $160 million, the company announced Friday.
The sale of Marcal, a family-owned maker of toilet paper, kitchen towels, napkins and facial tissue, was approved Friday by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Morris Stern.
The assets of Marcal, operated for four generations by the Marcalus family, will be sold to an affiliate of NexBank SSB of Dallas, Marcal said.
NexBank reached agreement with the United Steel Workers on a new collective bargaining agreement and has agreed to pay all of the vendors' claims incurred during the bankruptcy proceeding and honor all customer obligations, Marcal said.
The court-approved sale enables Marcal to emerge from bankruptcy. The Elmwood Park-based company filed a voluntary Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy petition in November 2006, blaming rising energy costs.
Marcal was founded in 1932 and said it employs over 900 people in manufacturing operations at Elmwood Park and Chicago, producing over 160,000 tons of finished paper products annually.

A unique play was made in a game between the minor league Nashville Sounds and Omaha Storm Chasers, getting both teams plenty of attention this week.
With men on first and second in the bottom of the third inning, Omaha's Clint Robinson hit the ball to deep center field. Logan Schafer of Nashville ran back, reached up and just missed the catch. The ball fell out of his mitt onto his head. Somehow, he reached to the side and caught the ball to get the out. Logan finished the triple play by throwing to the second baseman, who stepped on the bag and tossed to first.
In just a matter of days, the YouTube video has gotten nearly a half million views.

LONGMEADOW - Three Longmeadow High School students have created a website that could become the town's official municipal page.
Since 2010 the Longmeadow town website has undergone several changes and recently the operations subcommittee made up of members of the Select Board and School Committee enlisted the help of teens to create a new, user-friendly site.
Students Caroline Bialas, Efrat Armon and Robert Anderson were the winners of the competition each earning $100 gift cards and an opportunity to present their design to the Select Board.
The teens recently met with the board to discuss their upgrades to the site which would include easier access to meeting minutes and town department contact information as well as the option to pay bills online.
Bialas said they spoke with users of the website to see what aspects they most used and what could be more accessible.
"When we decided to do this we looked at the current town site and other town sites and discovered that the main problem was with navigation," Armon said."There were too many drop down menus and it was too easy to get lost."
The group reorganized the site to include five basic menus, a calendar, and several other features that highlight the cultural aspects of the town Armon said.
The teens also tried to make the site more relevant for young people. Bialas said they incorporated an option to download a pdf of the high school newspaper The Jet Jotter on the town website. There would also be a resident accomplishment page that would allow residents to see stories and highlights of people in town who are doing great things.
Anderson added a photo gallery page which shows historic homes and foliage and other highlights of the town. Anderson also added an email address where people could submit personal photos that highlight the town as well.
As for the main page the teens tried to make major departments easily accessible and added direct links to the town's library and Parks and Recreation Department websites. They also made it easier to find meeting minutes for any board or committee and put all contact information and hours of operation on a single page.
Armon said the objective is to attract people to the site by making it very easy to navigate.
Select Board member Paul P. Santaniello commended the students for their work, but wondered how the site would be maintained.
Select Board member Robert H. Aseltine said the town's IT Department is responsible for maintaining the site. He said there has also been discussions about having a high school intern that would help maintain the website.
Aseltine said more resources would be necessary to activate the bill pay option on the site, but would ultimately save the town money in daily transactions that are now done in the Town Clerk's office.
Select Board Chairman Mark P. Gold thanked the students for their professional work and said the board will seriously consider their proposal.

Metairie resident Bradley Shore Jr. returned from space camp last month at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., with a special award in his hands.
Bradley, 11, a fifth-grader at Kehoe France School, has won the Right Stuff Award.
"I worked hard at the camp, and I really felt proud when I was named the winner," said Bradley, son of Bradley and Michele Shore.
And it just so happens that Bradley's sister, Hailey, won the Right Stuff Award in 2007.
The award is the camp's highest, and it recognizes the camper who best demonstrates leadership, self-confidence and the ability to work with peers.
Bradley participated in the three-day Aviation Challenge Camp, where he learned land and water survival techniques, compass navigation and simulated jet fighter training.
"My favorite part of the camp was the simulation of flying a F-18 fighter jet," Bradley said. "I also enjoyed learning survival skills and listening to former astronaut Robert Gibson talk about his experiences in space."
Space camp is designed to enhance interest in science, mathematics and engineering through the use of a space and aviation curriculum. The 25-year-old camp draws youths ages 9 to 18 from throughout the United States and several foreign countries.
And Theresa Myers of Metairie also participated in Space Camp this summer. She was part of the Space Camp Robotics program which is specifically designed for campers who have a particular interest in engineering.
Theresa spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
Dizzy Dean champs
Congratulations to Girard Playground's 14- and 15-year-old Dizzy Dean boys baseball team, which won the East Bank Championship.
Members of the team were Kaleb Roper, Connor McWilliams, Blake Baker, Ryan Licali, Jason Abide, Nick Wilson, Quinn D'Antagnan, Gregory Deichmann, Ryan LeBlanc, Austin Gauthreaux, Stephen Sigle, Brian Forschler, Cody Morris and Cody Cross.
The team was coached by Carl Labit.

After much tumult and drama since the Yankee season ended, it's nice to wake up to some decent headlines today.
Ed Price writes that it's looking more and more like Mariano Rivera is nearing a contract extension with the team. Discussions are already heating up, which is a great sign. The rumored numbers for the contract are about three years and $40 million, which is a lot for an aging reliever. A three-year deal would keep Rivera in a Yankee uniform until close to his 40th birthday. And, much as everyone loves Mo, in the interests of honest reporting, Mo's ERA this season (3.15) did nearly double from his career-best 1.38 in '05. Nevertheless, he really hasn't dropped off much.
We hadn't realized this, but Mariano's strikeout numbers from this season were right up there with his career (74Ks to 12 walks, even better than 2006 where Mo struck out 55 and walked 11, in four more innings). His still-strong strikeout numbers indicate that, though his WHIP jumped significantly this year (0.960 in '06 to 1.121 in '07), he's really still bringin' it. Still, by the final year of this potential contract, it's valid to wonder if he'll still be bringin' it at age 39.
We suppose if it takes three years to bring Mo back, it's worth it, but two years would be a much better deal from a pure baseball standpoint.

By Sharon Montgomery-Dupe - Cape Breton Post
GLACE BAY — For Habitat for Humanity volunteers Wednesday, having a celebrity join in on a project was like music to their ears.
© Sharon Montgomery-Dupe - Cape Breton Post
Singer-songwriter Gordie Sampson helps set up for shingling work on a Habitat for Humanity renovation project on Mechanic Street in Glace Bay, Wednesday with volunteers (from the left) Barry Smith, of the build committee, and Winston Ingraham, a crew member.
Singer-songwriter Gordie Sampson worked alongside volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity renovation project on half a former Dominion Coal company house on Mechanic Street.
"He is a supporter of Habitat and he wanted to help us physically and also draw people in and bring some awareness," said Joyce Rankin, the Cape Breton manager for Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia.
Sampson, a native of Big Pond who lives in Nashville, credited Bon Jovi for his interest in Habitat for Humanity.
A couple of years ago, he wrote a song with Bon Jovi for the band's record.
Bon Jovi is a high-profile supporter of Habitat for Humanity."Jon Bon Jovi spent the entire day talking about Habitat, that is all he wanted to talk about," Sampson said.
"He is the one who got me interested in this."
Sampson met some local Habitat for Humanity volunteers while performing at a benefit in Sydney a couple of years ago.
"We started talking about how I could get involved. I really liked the idea."
Wednesday was the first time Sampson was on a project site.
"Anyone who has every built a house knows the time it takes and the detail that goes into one, and having people to build or rebuild a structure from purely volunteer resources is pretty amazing."
Habitat for Humanity offers an affordable housing program to modest-income families whose members contribute volunteer time in lieu of a down payment as the homeowner assumes an interest-free mortgage.
Rankin said Ray MacLellan of Crew Productions was making a video of the afternoon to use as a promotion and fundraiser.
"The video will show how people are drawn in and how satisfying it is for them when they look at what they have accomplished."
She said a Glace Bay family has been accepted for the house which is scheduled to be completed in September.
The renovation of the company house began in May 2011.
Rankin said although the project slowed down, it never stopped.
"It runs on donations and volunteers," she said.
"We are a small group, raise money as we go and pay for things as we go. That takes time and effort."
Rankin said one of the issues was that the Mechanic Street house was in bad shape.
A house renovation project can require more professional input than building a new house, she said.
"It has been harder to get volunteers, contributions and donations."
Rankin said volunteers are needed for this project, especially carpenters.
For more information or to volunteer, call Rankin at 563-1139.

Survival statistics for prostate cancer
Survival statistics for prostate cancer. There is information about
Prostate cancer statistics and outlook
Outlook means your chances of getting better. Doctors call this prognosis. It can be difficult to work out prognosis for prostate cancer. This is because different factors affect how the prostate cancer will grow. So it is very important that you talk to your cancer specialist about your likely prognosis. The main factors affecting the outcome of your cancer are the stage, the Gleason score and the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level.
On this page, we have quite detailed information about the likely outcome of different stages of prostate cancer. The statistics we use are taken from a variety of sources, including the opinions and experience of the experts who check every section of Cancer Research UK's patient information. They are intended as a general guide only. For a more complete picture in your case, you need to speak to your own specialist.
How reliable are cancer statistics?
No statistics can tell you what will happen to you. Your cancer is unique. The same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people. The statistics cannot tell you about the different treatments people may have had, or how that treatment may have affected their prognosis. There are many individual factors that will affect your treatment and your outlook.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the Treating prostate cancer section.
This page has quite detailed information about the survival rates for different stages of prostate cancer. People ask us for this information but not everyone diagnosed with cancer wants to read it. If you are not sure whether you want to know at the moment, you can always come back to it later.
The statistics here are intended as a general guide and can't tell you what is likely to happen in your individual case.
We have a section explaining cancer statistics and also explaining incidence, mortality and survival. Unless you are very familiar with medical statistics, it might help to read this before you read the statistics below.
Please note that no UK national statistics are available for different stages of cancer or treatments that people may have had. The statistics we present here are pulled together from a variety of different sources, including the opinions and experience of the experts who check each section of Cancer Research UK's patient information. We provide statistics because people ask us for them. But they are only intended as a general guide and cannot tell you what will happen in your individual situation.
The overall outlook statistics below are for people diagnosed with prostate cancer in England and Wales.
Of all those with prostate cancer, around 95 out of every 100 men (95%) live survive for a year or more after they are diagnosed. Almost 90 out of every 100 men (90%) survive for 5 years or more. And more than 80 out of every 100 men (80%) survive for 10 years or more after diagnosis.
There has been a large increase in the numbers of men diagnosed in recent years due to the increasing use of the PSA blood test. Individual factors will affect their outcome. The most important of these is grade. If you have a low grade cancer, it is likely to be slow growing, whatever the stage.
Here are some statistics for different stages of prostate cancer.
Localised prostate cancer
Overall, about 90 out of every 100 men with localised prostate cancer will live for more than 5 years after they are diagnosed. Between 65 and 90 out of every 100 men (65 to 90%) will live for at least 10 years. Please note, these are relative statistics. This means that they don't include people with prostate cancer who have died from other causes. Cancer statistics are often worked out this way because it gives a more accurate picture of the survival rate of the cancer.
Many men with prostate cancer are older and may not die from their cancer, but from other illnesses, such as heart disease. Prostate cancer can be slow to develop. So, many men with early stage prostate cancer will eventually die of something else not related to their prostate cancer.
The outcome also depends on the grade of the cancer. A large review paper looked at men having watch and wait for localised prostate cancer. In men with low or intermediate grade cancers, about 98 out of every 100 (98%) lived for more than 5 years. But in men with high grade cancers, just over 2 out of 3 (67%) lived for more than 5 years. If you have a high grade cancer, your specialist is more likely to treat you straight away, rather than using watch and wait or active monitoring.
Locally advanced prostate cancer
Locally advanced cancer means that the cancer has broken though the outer covering (capsule) of the prostate gland. Things get very complicated when trying to find statistics for this group. The statistics generally come from clinical trials. As these relate to various different types and combinations of treatment and to different groups of patients, it isn't possible to group them together easily. Generally though, with radiotherapy and hormone therapy, between 7 and 8 out of every 10 men (70 to 80%) will live for at least 5 years after diagnosis.
Prostate cancer that has spread
In some men the cancer has spread to another part of their body when they are diagnosed with prostate cancer. This is not common. Cancer that has spread is called metastatic prostate cancer. About 1 in 3 men with advanced prostate cancer (30%) will live for at least 5 years after they are diagnosed. Again, this is a relative statistic. So it is only related to prostate cancer, and not the risk of dying from other causes. Many men with prostate cancer are older and the disease can be very slow to develop, so it may not end up affecting their life span.
It can be difficult to work out the outlook for prostate cancer. This is because there are different factors that affect how the prostate cancer will grow. So it is very important that you talk to your cancer specialist if you are trying to find out about your likely prognosis. The main factors affecting the outcome of your cancer are the
As with many other types of cancer, the outcome of prostate cancer depends on whether it has spread when it is diagnosed. In other words, the stage of your cancer. Prostate cancer statistics are usually grouped into
- Localised disease – the cancer is completely contained within the prostate gland
- Locally advanced disease – the cancer has grown through the covering of the prostate gland
- Cancer that has spread to another part of the body, such as the bones
Gleason grade or score
With prostate cancer, your outlook also depends on how the cells look under a microscope. This is called the grade of your cancer. In prostate cancer, this is recorded as your Gleason score.
A Gleason score of between 2 and 5 is regarded as normal prostate tissue.
A score of 6 is a low grade prostate cancer. It is likely to grow very slowly.
A score of 7 is an intermediate grade that will grow at a moderate rate.
A Gleason score of 8 to 10 is a high grade cancer that is likely to grow more quickly.
If your Gleason score is low and you are older or have early stage disease your doctor is likely to suggest watching and waiting (also called active monitoring). This is because your cancer may not spread or cause any trouble. If you have a high Gleason score, are younger, or have higher stage disease, your doctor is more likely to suggest you have active treatment such as surgery or radiotherapy.
PSA level
The third factor is the level of a protein called prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood when you are diagnosed. A low stage cancer with a high PSA level may sometimes grow more quickly than a higher stage cancer with a lower PSA.
No statistics can tell you what will happen to you. Your cancer is unique. For example, the same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people. The statistics are not detailed enough to tell you about the different treatments people may have had. And they don't tell how that treatment may have affected their prognosis. Many individual factors will determine your treatment and prognosis.
Remember that statistics are always slightly out of date. As with all statistics, it takes quite a long time to bring them all together. So they don't always reflect newer developments in treatment. Specialists now use treatments such as newer cancer drugs for advanced prostate cancer. The statistics we've quoted here are unlikely to take these new treatments into account. Our specialists tell us that the outlook is improving all the time.
Research evidence shows that taking part in clinical trials may improve outlook. No one is completely sure why this is. It is probably partly to do with your doctors and nurses monitoring you more closely if you are in a trial. For example, you may have more scans and blood tests. So if your cancer comes back it may be picked up sooner. There is more information in the trials and research section.

Alcest – Écailles de Lune
Release Date: 2010Mar29 (US)
Label: Prophecy Productions
Rating : 4.5/5
It goes without saying that shoegaze black metal is a miniscule sub-genre, and it can also be assumed that Neige, the artist behind Alcest, stands in the foreground of this sub-genre. Soft melodic and traditional black metal screams are heard throughout the album, which is backed by guitar riffs that range from elegant to aggressive. It's slowed down a bit from previous albums, and the drums have become a lot more post-rock. If you have heard the Amesoeurs full-length (a previous project of Neige), you can tell a lot of this inspiration is drawn from it.
The entire album drifts into a far-off daydream with a beautiful melancholy, which I think is the mood that Neige was going for. Production is decent, though very wet at parts. This is typical for this type of music, but it can make the heavier elements of the album feel a little messy.
It's honestly hard to say which songs are the best, because they're all very good. Overall, it's a fantastic album, arguably the best, if you don't mind straying from Black Metal.

Wagner College has been picked to finish fourth in the Northeast Conference baseball race, according to the annual preseason coaches' poll released yesterday.
The Seahawks, under 12th-year head coach Joe Litterio, return 15 letterwinners, including six starting position players, five starting pitchers and second-team all-NEC closer David Rees.
Wagner has qualified for the four-team NEC Tournament the past three seasons and seven times in the last eight years.
Defending champion Central Connecticut State was picked to repeat, followed by Monmouth in second place and Bryant in third place. Sacred Heart (fifth) was followed by Mount St. Mary's, Quinnipiac, Long Island and Fairleigh Dickinson.
The top four teams qualify for the NEC Tournament, which will be held in Norwich, Conn., on May 19-22.
The Seahawks will again call the Richmond County Bank Ballpark their home, playing all 21 of its home games in St. George.
Wagner opens the 2011 season next Friday with a noon doubleheader against Kent State and Winthrop at Rock Hill, S.C.
