Red Bull press release
Car 1 Sebastian Vettel, Position: POLE POSITION (3rd Practice - P1, 1:24.824)
"It was an interesting qualifying session; a new circuit and a new challenge - obviously I'm very happy to be on the front row. I don't know if being on the left or the right side of the track (we are on the left), is really an advantage or not; there's not one side that seems to be the clean side, as we tend to run down the middle. It was a good battle and after the first run it was very close, so I knew I had to do a little bit better on the second. We decided to only do one timed lap each time, it was still a bit slippery, but overall I'm very happy. Tomorrow it going to be a long race, we start starting the best possible position, so we'll see what happens."
Car 2 Mark Webber, Position: 3rd (2nd on grid), (3rd Practice - P3, 1:25.203)
"This new venue has been a good challenge for us. It was tricky to work out the right strategy for qualifying. The tyres weren't easy for one timed lap, so we had to work out how to do the right strategy - lots of teams tried different styles to get the best lap time out of the car. The first sector was tricky to get right on one timed lap. I could have done better in the first sector on my first lap in Q3; I couldn't complete my second, as there were yellow flags after Massa's incident. Overall it's a good job for the team, we've come to a new venue, prepared well and we've laid a good foundation for a very good race tomorrow."
Christian Horner:
"A great qualifying for the team to have established our 16th pole and a new record for the most poles secured by a team within a season. Also to have achieved a front row lock out after Lewis' penalty of yesterday has put us in the best position to start tomorrow's race. The dilemma was whether to do one or two laps, but in the end Sebastian managed to make two laps which were effectively good enough for pole.
Mark running two laps on his first set of tyres in Q3 was the right strategy, so first and second on the grid is a great place to be starting the inaugural Indian Grand Prix at a circuit that has been a real challenge for the drivers and is a really exciting venue." (Renault) CYRIL DUMONT: "A wonderful pole position again for Sebastian at this first Indian Grand Prix; I'm pleased for him. I think we had the pace today to lock out the front row - but anyway, we will start first and second on the grid tomorrow. That's the best place to start the race - we've clearly got the pace on low and high fuel, so it could be interesting tomorrow."
Being of Indian origin, Bal Sira, number two mechanic on Sebastian's car, thought he knew what to expect in Delhi, but what he found out took him by surprise.
A new track is a bit of an unknown. You have no idea of the size of the garage or what the garage facilities are going to be like. We have no idea how the circuit will behave or what the pit lane is like. It's difficult to get a working garage up and running - a garage that works at a new venue efficiently. But once you do figure it out then it's pretty comfortable. So, from a work point of view, India's been pretty much the same as any new venue. You get here, figure out the lay of the land and get on with it.
From a personal point of view, though, it really has been quite different. My heritage is Indian, but this is my first ever visit to the country and it has been a surprising one. Some aspects are very similar to the family life I know from the UK - like the language and the way people behave towards each other. For example, we visited a Sikh temple. Being the home of the Sikh religion I thought the ones here might be much more formal and a lot stricter than the ones I know from England but it was just the same, incredibly friendly and very welcoming. It has great being here during Diwali as well. It's something we celebrate at home with family but travelling around the world as we do, I've missed loads of them, so to be here in India for the festival has just been fantastic. By far the biggest surprise, however, has been the language.
At home I only speak the language with my grandmother. She speaks perfectly good English, but out of pure stubbornness will only speak Hindi, Punjabi and Swahili. However, I don't see her very often and the guys I work with don't speak those languages so I had no idea I could speak it. But apparently I do, and pretty well! When you're surrounded by people who only speak a certain language, you're forced to think fast and reply. And it's only then that you realise that it's been there all the time. I've been able to help the team out a few times with ordering food and so on; I've been speaking to all sorts of people!

Money Monday: Scholarship Search Special Edition, August 11th, 2014Posted by Amanda Wysk in Financial Aid Office on Aug 11, 2014 11:51:00 AM
If you've been following the Money Monday blog for a while, you know that I have posted a wide variety of scholarships. This week, I'm giving you all the tools you need to search for scholarships on your own. The Hub will still be the only place to find and know about MSOE-specific scholarships, but you know you better than I do and only you know all the things that make you unique that could translate into scholarship eligibility!
I have already posted a detailed Scholarship Presentation that highlights how to discover what scholarships you qualify for, where to find them, how to make a strong application, and all the resources available at MSOE for scholarship help. Please see that, but here I will briefly detail qualifications and how to find scholarships.
If you have an interest, hobby, skill, achievement, or qualification there is probably a scholarship for it. Don't believe me? Maybe you are really into bowling, gaming, animal protection, sandwich making, Ayn Rand, vegetarianism or water skiing. The possibilities are truly endless.
Beyond doing a Google search for "scholarships for X", there are other ways to find scholarships that you qualify for. There are many free websites you are able to sign up for that have you fill out a profile and then show your scholarships you are eligible for. The more completely you fill out your profile or the more specifically you search, the better your results will be. Here are some websites to look into:
If there are others you use, leave a note in the comment section!
A final place to look for scholarships isn't a place per se, but rather a concept. THINK LOCAL. Consider the town or city you are from and what it has to offer: civic groups, societies, local non-profits and groups, churches, businesses, and more. Consider where your relatives work, especially if it is any kind of union or has a professional society attached. Many of these kinds of scholarships may not be posted online at all but rather through flyers, newsletters, or announcements in local papers. Keep your eyes and ears open!
Scholarships are out there for every kind of student! Find them today and start applying!

This week we have launched the 3rd episode of BlizzCast, featuring an interview with the Lead Designer of StarCraft II about the Evolution of the Zerg from the original StarCraft to StarCraft II. Be sure to check that out here: http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcast/
Also, I've been curious - would you guys prefer having these Q&A Batches (multiple answered and added into a consolidated release) or would you rather these 4-7 questions be spread out across the forums in pertinent threads on battle.net? I have been doing a bit of both, but would love to get your feedback on it, to make it easiest for you to follow up on the latest updates in regards to the development of StarCraft II.
---StarCraft II Q&A Batch 40---
1. By the current look of the game with spectacular death animations you could worry that you can get slightly distracted by dead units while playing. You could for example waste precious APMs (Actions per minute) trying to click on a spliced Space Marine that you thought was still alive. The wrecks of some larger units or deaths for some others could block your sight in-game too. Could this fear be a real issue and will there be the option to toggle down these model details in the settings? (gamereplays.org)
Yes, this is an issue we are looking into. For multiplayer, we want to make absolutely sure that players can clearly see visually what is happening on the battlefield. Currently, we are looking to have different types of death animations available for multiplayer than will be present for the single player campaign. A lot of people do still love watching intricate death animations when not in a competitive scene.
2. Battlecruisers do employ more than one gunner right? So will they be able to attack both air and ground at the same time? (sc2pod.com)
Battlecruisers will only be able to attack one unit at a time.
3. What happens with the units inside a Nydus Worm if it gets killed? Considering it can carry 255 units, would they all die? (sc2pod.com)
Units inside the Nydus network will only die when all entrance/exits are killed. This includes the Nydus Warren building, the prerequisite to build Nydus Worms, as it also acts as an entrance and exit to the Nydus network. Nydus Worms that are not deployed as an entrance/exit will not count as an entrance/exit to the network.
4. So far the map editor seems to be a very powerful tool which doesnt constrain the map makers creativity at all. Will it even be possible to edit critical abilities like path finding? If so, there would be really no limits, or at least none we can imagine at this point. (starcraft2.4players.de)
Pathfinding, the method in which a unit will determine how to move, is handled by code, and will not be able to be edited within the map editor. Nonetheless, map makers will be able to edit things such as footprints, speed, and the size of units, which will affect the movement rates of units.
5. Why were Plasma Torpedoes added to the Battlecruiser when the Banshee has virtually the same attack? (starcraft2.com.au)
The Battlecruiser no longer has Plasma Torpedoes that hit ground. Instead, they can be equipped with a Missile Barrage which will be an air-to-air area of effect attack ability. This ability will make the Battlecruiser even more effective against lightly armored air units, as the attack also gets additional damage points versus light armored units.
6. In SC: BW we have terrain bonuses for units, for example standing behind a tree or being on higher ground while shot from lower. Are you keeping or maybe even improving such this feature and what happens with large units that are more massive (Thor) or simply larger (Colossus) than a tree or even a cliff? (broodwar.de)
Terrain bonuses are no longer present in StarCraft II. Instead, line of sight will be vastly more important. For instance, units firing from a higher ground will not be able to be seen by ground units without line of sight vision, and thus the ground units will not be able to fire back.
7. If a Zerg player corrupts a Dropship/Medivac, will they get control of the units inside? - Luddite (teamliquid.net)
No, the unit's contents will be destroyed when it becomes corrupted.
---End of Transmission---
Additional CommentaryEdit
Wait, so now we're removing features from the game?
Is that not a step backwards?
also in regards to the whole "feature" of not being able to see up cliffs and therefore not attack, that isn't really new or unique. RTS games have had this since 1998 for !&$%s sake.
I'm not completely sure to which features you are referring to, but in general, features are a tool to shape the gameplay of a game. Features may be good or bad, depending on its effects on the game. Not all features fit your design goals. For instance, multiplayer is about competition. Random factors like a random % of missing based on terrain is not optimal for a balanced competitive game (similarly chess does not have random factors involved when a player wins or losses). On the other hand, in single player, our goal is to immerse the player into the StarCraft world. Here is where the details that add to the story and immersion really count! Thus, there will be LOTS of content not seen in the multiplayer, as well as animations, heroes, additional units, and more...
The more I think about this the more it has me worried. Take the map Lost Temple as an example. It was common for players to wall their choke ramp with first tier units to prevent their bases from being breached. In SC2, does this mean the players wouldn't even be able to climb that ramp unless they have detection or air units to see at the top of the ramp?
Know what I mean?
This is true, though in StarCraft II, there are more units that are able to give you sight in those situations (Reapers, Medivac Dropships, Colossi, Banshees, Sensor Towers (to let you know units are on cliffs), Overseers, as well as older units including Observers, Terran's Scan, and others).
Furthermore, new abilities like Anti-Gravity help break the choke points, as well as more incentives to build dropships for Terran, Phase Prisms for Warp-In, and Nydus Worms to unload your whole army in a place that bypasses well defended positions.
On top of that, the better pathing in StarCraft II allow units to get to where you want them to go much faster, such as up ramps and around units.
One Question:
Thor got Anti Air Area Attack and Battlecruiser now too. Are there any big differences in their anti air attack?
The Battlecruiser's ability takes energy, whereas the Thor's ground to air attack is standard.
The Battlecruiser's ability is to make it more effective against what it is already effective against. Also, users have the choice to go with the air to air missiles or with the Yamato Cannon. If you are in a game where they have massed a lot of light air units, then you know what to get. This ability simply gives the Terran player more flexibility of options against air in late game.
Smurfz: " Karune, if your reading this...
Do units that move out of the Jackal's flame take less damage then units that stay in the flame for the entire duration of the flames existance?
EX: A marine moves out of the flame and takes 10 damage total, but a marine that was in the flame for the entire duration of the flame, would it take more damage?"
Yes, units that move out of the flame will take less damage.
[Clarification to comment on page 2 in regards to LOS on ramps]If the attacking units move halfway up the ramp, they get their full vision radius above the ramp. If the ramp is blocked at the bottom, the attacking units will not be able to target what is beyond the top of the ramp, though they will be able to see snapshots of units that attack them so they will be able to understand the scale of the threat that exists at the top of the ramp.[1]

Sorry anybody who has already read or commented on this, but lostpedia totally deleted my blog before i had a chance to gauge people's opinions.
basically, i'm highly confused by the comic-con video of kate. the premise is simple, jughead destroyed the hatch, so 815 never crashed etc,
i can kind of understand the hurley video, due to jughead and the lack of the hatch, (and maybe the lack of dharma thereafter) the numbers he won the lottery with never exerted the negative influence (or whatever) that caused all the stuff that made him think he was cursed, ultimately resulting in him getting on the plane, so his video (kind of) makes sense
but kates certainly does not. lostpedia states she saw wayne at the house, he made advances on her in a drunken stupor and she blew him up. so what happened to change the events so significantly? wayne went to see kate's mum that night and sent his employee instead. i cant see how the detonation of jughead and the destruction of the hatch could cause this change in the timeline?
i'm thinking someone must have intervened in this, maybe jacob, i dont know
i'd love to hear what everyone thinks about this

Dunn wants Burnley thrashing
Blackburn midfielder David Dunn hopes to complete a 'fairytale' hammering of arch-rivals Burnley on Sunday.
Last Updated: 27/03/10 3:06pm
Blackburn midfielder David Dunn is hoping to complete a 'fairytale' hammering of local rivals Burnley on Sunday.
Dunn played an integral part as Rovers secured a 3-2 win over the Clarets at Ewood Park in October.
Now Burnley head into the reverse fixture three points adrift in the relegation zone and fighting for their Premier League survival.
And although Dunn hopes that Brian Laws' side eventually manage to beat the drop, he has no time for sympathy ahead of the derby at Turf Moor.
"I know it's a little bit of a fairytale, but I hope we pump them 10-0," he said.
"But then I genuinely also hope they go on a little run and get the points needed to stay up and we're all looking out for our fixtures again for next season.
"A derby game is good, not just for the players and staff, but more importantly for the supporters.
"It's great for banter at work, although I hope it's our fans on Monday morning who are going in laughing rather than crying."
As someone who was brought up in the area and came through Blackburn's youth system, Dunn expects to draw the ire of the Burnley faithful.
But the 30-year-old is unconcerned over the potential abuse he could face on Sunday.
"I'm not too fussed. I've had stick for many years now so it's like water off a duck's back," he added.
"Probably half of my friends are Burnley fans as well so I'm used to the amount of stick you can get."
Dunn has suffered numerous injury setbacks throughout his career but says he is not yet willing to ease-up in his efforts.
He added: "I'm not getting any younger, that's for sure.
"But I still feel I can play a big part at the club over the next couple of seasons.
"The problem I have is, although I've missed a lot of games, I never don't want to train or not play games, even when I'm not 100 per cent.
"Maybe it's time I started listening to my head a little more, and rather than missing five games because I've been over keen on being out there, I could maybe miss one to make sure I'm involved in the others.
"Call me a silly old git, but that's the way I am."

Fred Morsell is a man with a mission to make the words of Frederick Douglass as meaningful today as they were in the 1800s. Douglass, who was born in 1818, was an escaped slave who became a well-known abolitionist, revolutionary and prolific journalist and dedicated defender of w omen's rights.
Until his death in 1895, he was considered by many to be the moral conscience of the nation on racial and gender justice.
Morsell, a professional actor since 1968, has since 1984 been delivering Douglass' message to schools and civic groups throughout the U.S.
In his presentations, Morsell encourages people to:
Believe in themselves;
Take advantage of every opportunity offered to them;
Use the power of written and spoken language to effect positive change for them selves and society.
"Frederick Douglass (for me) started in 1984," Morsell said. "I was living in Los Angeles had been there for nearly a year. The purpose for the move was to try to scare up a little more work than was being found in New York."
Morsell said late in the summer of 1984, he read news reports about black children on crack cocaine in the Pequoma section of the San Fernando Valley and in south central Los Angeles.
"There were five and six-year-olds overdosing because of crack in balloons," he said. "They were swallowing them. In a couple of cases, they couldn't get the balloons out and suffocated.
"People were very upset and small neighborhood groups formed. A black minister formed a group the Frederick Douglass Foundation to show kids through historic al figures what their heritage was and to show they didn't have to look on welfare and drugs as a means of surviving in America."
Electric Autobiography
Morsell said he knew if he wanted to get involved, he had to learn something about Frederick Douglass.
"I graduated from Frederick Douglass Elementary School in Harlem in 1952," Morsell noted. "Through my father and the NAACP, I knew many of the famous black leaders of that era Roy Wilkens, Thurgood Marshall, Whitney Young and Bayard Rust in were all family friends."
Morsell said he had a copy of Douglass' first autobiography and called a former neighbor in New York and asked that he go to Morsell's apartment, find it and mail it to him in Los Angeles.
"I had it for days before I picked it up to read it," Morsell recalled.
But once he began reading "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself," Morsell found it difficult not to identify with Douglass.
"It practically blew me away," Morsell said. "It read like a screenplay because Douglass' descriptions of the events of his life were so visually intense and dramatic. I thought it would be wonderful to read his words to a group of young kids and see if they could become inspired to do with their lives what Douglass had done with his."
Using the autobiography as a model, Morsell began to develop a program to help give inner-city youngsters a sense of self-worth and belief in themselves.
Since those early beginnings, Morsell has become one of the foremost scholars on the life and times of Frederick Douglass.
He has portrayed Douglass at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., Harper's Ferry, Gettysburg, New York State's Seneca Falls National Historic Park and the Chatauqua Institute, the U.S. Capital Rotunda and at many schools, colleges, theaters, churches and community centers.
Morsell has taken Douglass and his message to television, and in 1994 was featured on the Bill Moyers Journal delivering Douglass' last great speech, "The Less on of the Hour."
He also delivered the same speech at Douglass' own Metropolitan A.M.E. Church in Washington, D.C., 100 years to the day after Douglass delivered it.
Touring Morris County
Morsell has developed "Presenting Mr. Frederick Douglass," a one-actor play, which he presented Feb. 28 at Chatham High School and the Chatham Middle School during separate full-school assemblies.
The visit to Chatham was part of Morsell's fifth year of presentations in Morris County. His current tour was made possible through grants and in-kind support from the Fanny and Svante Knistrom Foundation, the Page Hill Foundation, the Morris County Human Relations Commission, the Morristown Housing Authority, the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Morris County, the K.O. Boxing Club, Summerfield Suites by Windham in Morris Township, and Kings Super Markets.
Roberta Francis of the Morris County Human Relations Commission, a Chatham Township resident, said the organization sees Morsell's interpretation of Douglass as "a powerful prejudice reduction program" that also brings with it a message of "history, pro-literacy and pro-knowledge."
"That's why we feel it's important to bring him back every year," she added.
Morsell said he has been "very well received in Chatham and Morris County."
He said most of the school students are "very moved by the presentation, which is extremely intense."
Remarked Morsell, "Douglass is extraordinarily challenging. He says a lot of things people don't want to hear. His understanding of racism is encyclopedic."
Douglass, after escaping slavery, became a friend for life of women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
"In my opinion, she (Stanton) was one of the three or four greatest minds this country ever produced," Morsell said. "She should be included with Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin. These are four people who stand out because of the clarity with which they thought and their understanding of how people live and how society is formed."
Morsell, as was Douglass, has become a true believer in Stanton's message.
"She should be on Mount Rushmore," Morsell said. "If they ever put another face there, it should be hers. Most people know little about her except for women involved in the women's movement.
"There is a clarity in the way she went from point to point and in her belief that there are no rights man can give to women. Rights are given by God."
Equal Rights Elevate All
In Douglass' words regarding his friendship with Stanton and his involvement in the women's rights movement: "This woman's cause is not exclusively a woman's cause. Woman cannot be elevated without elevating man.
"No man is more a debtor to Mrs. Stanton for her noble work in the world than I. She gave me a higher conception of my own worth by disregarding prejudice."
Also included in Douglass' speech, "Why I Became a Woman's Rights Man," was one of the basic tenets of his life: "We who call ourselves woman's rights women and men believe that humanity is one. They were equal in the cradle, were they not? I demand to know what earthquake from below, what thunderbolt from above, has struck one below and elevated the other above."
Morsell delivered the famous Douglass speech in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in July 1998 as part of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Equal Rights Amendment.
"What worked for them in the 19th century will work in the 21st," Morsell said. "What is possible for me is possible for you."
Douglass, in praise of Stanton said: "And let me tell you when there were few houses in which the black man could have put his head, this wooly head of mine found a refuge in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. If I had been blacker than 16 midnights without a single star, it would have been the same."
Morsell said he thinks Douglass' strong feelings and involvement in the women's rights movement came about because he was influenced greatly by women.
"He taught himself to read," Morsell said of Douglass. "Williamsburg had a slave school even though it was forbidden to teach slaves how to read and write.
"When he was finished, he realized three things. He developed self-trust and self-worth about himself. He realized he was a slave because of his skin color but knew inside he was not a slave.
"His grandmother impressed on him to get along with himself. Otherwise he would not survive."
Morsell said when Douglass learned how to read, he bartered food for books.
"He discovered the power of language through the 'Columbian Orator' school book," Morsell said. "He bought a copy. It contained poetry, speeches and stories showing the value of the human spirit. That book showed him the power of language, self-belief, the maximization of opportunity, and that by learning to speak and write well, you gain control over your own mind."
And that has become the foundation for Morsell's characterization of Douglass.
Said Morsell, "Until mind is free, body will never be. That's what kids need to be reminded of and that's why we perform this play."
Morsell is a graduate of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., and holds a master's degree in theater arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.
He currently lives in Emigrant, Montana.

All of us cognize allium sativum which is maximum frequently utilized as a flavouring or a seasoner. You any similar to it or emotion it once you see it on or odor it from your nutrient. Garlic, whether raw or cooked, is illustrious for its beefed-up highlight aroma. But, are you alive that garlic can be utilised medically besides its cookery purposes. In fact, allium sativum has lasting been thoughtful as a flavouring "Wonder Drug".
When unsmooth or fine chopped, garlic yields allicin, a efficacious antibacterial drug and anti-fungal trifoliate (phytoncide). It also contains ajoene, allicin, enzymes, vitamin B, minerals, and flavonoids.
Ajoene, an unsaturated disulfide, is settled from the fastening of iii allicin molecules. The beefed-up olfactory property and look of garlic comes from Allicin. After a allium sativum flower bud is milled or delicately chopped, the liberate of allicin occurs. When allicin is melted in varied solvents with toothsome oils, ajoene is formed. Ajoene can also be recovered in allium sativum wring. Ajoene is peak balanced and maximum plethoric in separate of allium sativum (chopped allium sativum in palatable oil).
Scientists have latterly saved ajoene has antithrombotic (anti-clotting) properties, which helps impede platelets in the humor from forming liquid body substance clots. These properties can possibly drain the chance of hunch sickness and manoeuvre in humanity.
There are at tiniest 12 recovered designed studies published circa the world that support that garlic in various forms can exhaust sterol. The greatest become skilled at so far was conducted in Germany wherever 261 patients from 30 indiscriminate practices were given any garlic grime tablets or a medicament. After a 12 period behaviour period, tight-fisted serum cholesterol levels born by 12% and triglycerides dropped by 17% in the alliaceous plant activated clump compared to the medicament body.
Scientists found that allicin blocks the enzymes by reacting near one of their vital components specified as sulfhydryl (SH) groups, or thiols, which are likewise requisite components of a number of enzymes that contribute in the mixture of steroid alcohol. By reacting with and modifying the sulfhydryl groups in those enzymes, allicin may obviate the harvest of arteria hindering sterol. This could supply a practical description for how garlic lowers the levels of unfavourable steroid alcohol.
Nevertheless, it is believed that allium sativum does have haunch private property. Due to its imposing nature, raw garlic should not be eaten in larger degree as it could breed problems, for sample swelling of or even defacement to the biological process tract. Also, within are a few associates who are allergic to alliaceous plant. Symptoms of garlic allergic reaction consider wrapping rash, fundamental quantity and headaches. Also, alliaceous plant could possibly stop anti-coagulants, so it is most select avoided formerly surgery.

Meet Brito. Brito is a masculine blatino hunk from Citebeur with just the right amount of muscle - enough to show he spends a lot of time working out but not too much. Besides his awesome body, he has so much confidence and attitude that it's hard to believe he's only 24.

Fake Wine, Thomas Jefferson, Christie's and the Law
Counterfeit wine? Is there really such a thing? Apparently so, and it's the subject of an intriguing lawsuit filed earlier this week against the auction house Christie's. WSJ reporters Vanessa O'Connell and Kelly Crow filed this report to the the Law Blog.
A lawsuit filed earlier this week by billionaire wine collector William Koch against Christie's International alleges that the auction house "engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity" together with a German national named Meinhard Görke who uses the self-created name Hardy Rodenstock. Koch calls Rodenstock the "creator of much of the counterfeit high priced wine in the world." Click here for the WSJ story.
For decades, the lawsuit alleges, Rodenstock's counterfeiting activities have been aided and abetted by J. Michael Broadbent, the former head of Christie's wine department and thereafter a senior consultant to Christie's.

Paget's Disease as a Local Recurrence after Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: Clinical Presentation, Treatment, Outcome, and Risk Factor Analysis
- First Online:
- Received:
Paget's disease is a rare clinical and histological type of local recurrence (LR) after breast cancer treatment both in case of conservative surgery or nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with or without intraoperative radiation.
We performed an analysis of 861 NSM with electron beam intraoperative radiotherapy (ELIOT) patients treated at the European Institute of Oncology from 2002 to 2008, focused on Paget's disease local recurrence.
In 861 patients (713 invasive carcinoma and 148 intraepithelial neoplasia), there were 36 local recurrences (4.18%), and among these were 7 Paget's disease local recurrences (0.8%). Median follow-up was 50 months. Four cases presented with nipple areola complex (NAC) erosions, two crusted lesions, and one ulcerated NAC. The average latency period from the NSM to Paget's disease local recurrence is 32 months (range, 12–49). Complete NAC removal was performed in all seven recurrences. The average follow-up after NAC removal was 47.4 months (range, 20–78). We found neither locoregional relapse nor metastatic event in this group. All patients were alive without disease.
Paget's disease local recurrence can be found in a significant proportion after NSM. Any suspicious lesion on NAC requires prompt pathological confirmation. Primary carcinoma with ductal intraepithelial neoplasia or invasive ductal carcinoma with extensive in situ component, negative hormonal receptor, high pathological grade, overexpression of HER2/neu, and "HER2 positive (nonluminal)" subtype tend to be significantly associated with more Paget's disease local recurrence and should be followed carefully.

There is next to no chance at all that our entire forward group will be back next season.
On McDonald... everything basically hinges on how the organisation views Chris Stewart in the long term. If we think it is the right time to trade Stewart, then I think we'll offer McDonald a 1 year deal. That leaves us with an abundance of LW's and might force Perron to the RW in the short term though.
It is all about asset management. If the team are convinced that Jakin/Rattie is close to the NHL and that Chris Stewart's value is at a high... you should move Stewart and retain the veteran short term to let the prospect finish his development.

Council taxpayers will pay £671,000 to keep Camberley's Artslink theatre afloat during the current financial year.
The sky high figure includes an additional £89,570 subsidy which was approved by Surrey Heath Council's policy committee last week.
Policy committee members were told the extra handout was needed because income estimates for the current financial year had been too optimistic.
Takings at the box office and bar are much lower than forecast, with the result that the estimated surplus at the end of the year will not be met.
Spending on heating and lighting, as well as repairs and maintenance, is also more than budgeted for. Management blames the unexpected drop in takings on the September 11 terrorist attack in America.
The ArtsLink working party said it was unhappy that it was necessary to stump up an extra £89,570 when the council was trying to cut the theatre's subsidy.
But it recognised there was no alternative due to the "misrepresentation" surrounding the theatre's current budget.
In a bid to boost the theatre's takings, the council has decided to change the name to The Camberley Theatre at a cost of £6,100.
The name will be officially unveiled on December 15, the opening night of this year's pantomime, the "Beauty and the Beast".
Despite the new image, the cash strapped theatre is still set to lose £12,037 a week from next April.
Trying to look on the bright side, a council spokesman said: "We've drawn up a new business plan which looks to reduce the subsidy by about £50,000 next year."

Thin Condoms Trial Pack
It is perfectly understandable why a man would want to use a thinner condom with his partner. What is hard to understand is why this man would pay retail for an entire box of condoms when he does not know if the fit and texture is to his liking. This is why British Condoms has an entire line of proprietary condom trial packs where the emphasis is placed on the quality and value equation. Nowhere on the retail market can you find this variety of brand names for such a low price. Nowhere.
This condom trial pack offers 14 of the world's best thin condoms. You will receive:
1 x Crown Skinless Skin Condom - Crown Skinless Skin are the pink condoms commonly used in adult films.These condoms are praised world-wide and are as being super-sensitive, dependable and extremely stretchy.
1 x Mates Skyn Condom - New Mates® Skyn® condoms are teat ended and non-spermicidal lubricated with a nominal width of 53mm.They are clinically proven to enhance sensation.
1 x Durex Thin Feel Condom - Although still providing the same high level of reassurance and protection these are shaped to be easier to put on and provide a sleek fit and feeling during sex.
1 x Condomi Ultra-Thin Condom - This condom is transparent and made from high quality natural rubber latex. It is extra fine for ultra-sensitivity.
1 x Lifestyles Skyn Condom - Like a second skin, Lifestyles SKYN condoms are barely noticeable. They offer a softer, more natural feel with long-lasting lubricant for maximum pleasure.
1 x Trojan Supra Condom - These condoms are ultra-thin polyurethane for ultimate sensual pleasure and recommended for latex sensitive people. TROJAN SUPRA brand condoms contain no latex allergens and are designed to transmit natural body heat.
1 x Lifestyles Ultra-Thin Condom - This is the thinnest lubricated condom by Lifestyles. It is extremely popular because it is silky smooth for ultra-sensations.
1 x Trojan Bareskin Condom - 40% thinner than standard Trojans. They feature a silky smooth lubricant and a low latex odor.
1 x Okamoto 0.04 Condom - Okamoto 004 (Zero Zero Four) pushes all pleasure boundaries. It's rumored to be the very best thinnest condom availableon the market today.
1 x Pasante Sensitive Condom - This condom is 25% thinner than a standard latex condom and provides an exceptionally sensitive experience. It is safe for oral and penetrative sex, working best with a water-based lubricant.
1 x Trojan Thintensity Condom - Over 25% thinner than standard condoms, they are designed for a more natural feeling. They are slightly longer and slightly larger at the closed end.
1 x Mates Ultra-Thin Condom - This is one of the thinnest of the Mates regular sized condom range providing extra sensitivity at 50 microns thick.
1 x Skins Ultra-Thin Condom - With all the characteristics of Skins Natural but even thinner, wearing a Skins Ultra-Thin brings you as close to the real thing as wearing a second skin.
1 x Trojan Ultra-Thin Condom - The thinnest Trojan latex condom ever, designed for ultimate sensitivity.
Do our customers like this trial pack? Read on!
"Having just had a baby we needed to return to using condoms but wanted a nicer experience with them having not had to use them for a couple of years. So the ultra-fine sampler was a great way of trying loads of extra thin condoms to find which enhanced our pleasure. We'll probably buy the brands we found the best in this sampler although we are tempted to try the non-latex sampler too as it was good fun trying them!"
"A great assortment pack that allows you to sample many different manufacturer products of a similar type"
"The trial pack I ordered was great ' it was useful to have the opportunity to try out lots of different brands without buying a whole box. Great value too! And delivered quickly and discreetly. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone."

Learn more about resolving customer objections and other important skills for sales professionals by downloading more information on Richardson's 6 Critical Skills for Professional Selling here.
A sales objection is a statement or question posed by a potential client that indicates that they might not be interested in or willing to purchase a product or service. The ability to effectively overcome sales objections is a critical skill for sellers. Richardson's resolving sales objections model helps sellers develop the skills they need to engage customers in a needs based dialogue that helps them understand and respond to customer objections in a way that allows them to better position their solution.
There are two critical dimensions of the Richardson resolving sales objections model, especially regarding complex and critical corporate-wide issues.
Technical Knowledge: Technical knowledge about the product or service solution you are selling enables you to develop a credible and substantive response to potential client objections.
Communication Skills: Even the most thorough response can fail to satisfy the client's objection if it is not delivered effectively. The key is to create a dialogue, connect, tailor your response — and not lecture your client.
The "right" answer can seem wrong if it is too long, too short, too technical, or positioned inappropriately. What you think is the "right" answer can even reinforce the objection you are trying to dispel.
For example, a client may say, "Your X is not as good as your competitors'."
Regardless of how technically prepared you are to deal with this (or any other critical objection), unless you understand what the client truly means and what the concern is, your response cannot be as on target and specific as it could be if you understood more. You must understand what the concern is, whose concern it is (is it your client's, his/her colleagues, or something a competitor has provoked?), etc.
However, to begin your response with your question can seem challenging to the client. By first acknowledging or empathizing before you ask a question to clarify the objection, you will connect and be able to reframe the negative situation. It is vital to acknowledge the concern — not with a wooden statement, but with genuine acknowledgment. Most people mentally acknowledge, but it stops there and so does the connection. For example, you would say,
"Karen I appreciate your telling me your feelings and I want to understand the concern about our quality vs. our competitors."
Then ask your question.
By first acknowledging the client's objection you will have paved the way for your response to the sales objection. Even if your experience with the client and your expertise makes you confident that you understand what the client means there are still compelling reasons to acknowledge the client's question before providing a counter statement.
By finding out how the client sees the situation, you can avoid making assumptions, learn more, distinguish yourself as someone who listens, and you can position your response persuasively. In addition acknowledgment of the objection encourages a more complete response from the client.
Only by staying connected and understanding more about the client's specific issues that are driving the objection can you PERSUASIVELY POSITION your technical knowledge and help the client be open and receptive, therefore hearing what you have to say.
Sales professionals with superb skills know that there is more to answering an objection than the "answer." They know the client is the key to the solution. Effective sellers follow these 5 steps to resolve customer objections:
Empathize with or acknowledge the clients objection to connect with them and demonstrate an understanding of their needs and concerns.
Ask clarifying question(s) listening to the client and drilling down to get to the true motivation behind the client's objection enables sellers to better craft a relevant and powerful response to the client's objection.
Position a response so it is concise and targeted. Being able to supply a succinct response demonstrates that you understand the problem and have the ability to offer a simple solution.
Check for feedback to confirm understanding and the response addresses the clients concerns.
Repeat the process until the client's concerns have been adequately addressed.
Richardson's chief marketing officer, Andrea Grodnitzky, shares insight into the importance of utilizing an effective sales objection resolution model.

So, last weekend I spent some time out in what others call 'the real world' helping out our local scout troop with a booth. It was a small local event, fun and brings out the community, but not worthy of a large scale ad campaign. In any event, one of the things they had going on was a raffle for some prizes donated by local businesses. I went ahead and bought some tickets, the usual 6 for $5 since it is a bargain over $1 each, and at the end of the day I actually won something! It is a beautiful ring from a local gemstone shop, retail $400, so I made out like a bandit it seems. Naturally, I am passing this on to my wife, mostly since it doesn't go with my evening gown and it is not my size. You may by this time be wondering about arcade cabinets, and their relevance.
My wife, though nowhere near as obsessed as I am by gaming, has some of the traits of a hardcore gamier. She rocked out on the Atari 2600 as a child, and when I got USB adapter for the original joysticks and popped up Pitfall, her second run through she ran down the 20 minute timer like she had never stopped playing. She cannot sit down to play Zuma without blocking out an afternoon, as she rarely has a game less than 1 hour long, and to go against her on any game she 'likes' is to be humiliated by a middle-aged woman kicking your ass, as my son and his friends have found.
But in her heart she has one great love above all else, and that is Centipede. It was the arcade game she played as a youth, and along with Tempest and Frogger are the games she remembers fondly having high scores on. When we come across an old machine, at a mall or at a fair, she twitches to go play it. She very rarely gives in, she has this silly idea about being grown up and public images and such, but I see the desire in her eyes and know that if she could she'd revert to 12 and be dropping quarters like an abandoned child at a coffee shop in the 80's. Don't get me wrong, her eyes lit up at the ring, she smiled and is very pleased with it, but I think I want to give her something more this year for Christmas.
So, I am thinking that I will build her a cabinet, skinned like the old Centipede of yore, and get some MAME action going on in it. It will go nicely with the air hockey table I bought her as a wedding gift, too. (FYI, if you find a woman that thinks a real air hockey table is an awesome wedding gift, KEEP HER!)
As always when I get an idea I immediately go to the internet and find the piles of information available, and it turns out this cabinet building thing is a huge movement. I can find original size specs for the cabinet, companies to create full size cabinet art and marquees, and even plans for controls and full builds documented online. You can buy all the parts pre-fabricated, and all the little knobs and switches and such are available without hacking up old arcade machines or finding OEM providers and getting the to sell retail. The hardest part, aside from actually building the unit which varies depending on your abilities, seems to be planning.
Do I want controls for every possible game, or just the select few that match the trinity she loves? Modular controls, or a permanent set mounted? Old TV, VGA monitor, real arcade monitor, or newer LCD TV? Pack it in original footprint, or modify cabinet to accommodate newer parts and go for 'feel'? Power? Lights? Speakers and light up marquee? Cooling?
Every page I visit adds another question or two, it seems, and the project gets more and more daunting. Am I going too far this time? Should I give up and just settle on another year of listening to what she wants for a bit and buying her that? Would I have anything to blog about for the next few months if I did? No! So, I am not going to wimp out this time, as I go forward I will chronicle my efforts and resources so that it can join the growing list of places to get advice and ideas for this project. The hardest part may be getting buy in, since keeping it secret is kinda not going to happen. If I spend too long in the garage, she comes down with a first aid kit and checks on me, so step one will be getting buy-in and funding.
Next stop, getting some answers and creating a plan, because as we all know you can't know how horribly wrong things have gone without a plan to compare the results to!
