<bean id="auditService" class="com.sample.service.impl.AuditServiceImpl" scope="singleton"/>
<bean id="auditService" class="com.sample.service.impl.AuditServiceImpl" scope="prototype"/>
Or since Spring 3.0 you can use standard annotations JSR-330 (known as @Inject), that were introduced in Java EE 6. There's also annotation @Scope, but singleton is defined using annotation @Singleton.
What is default bean Scope in Spring 3.0? Singleton scope ?? Is there any way we can change default bean Scope to prototype or request ?
i want to know how can i restrict the no of bean objects to be created for a spring bean to 50.

There were emotional scenes as the family of a hero soldier killed by a rogue Afghan policeman gathered to watch their loved one's body repatriated to the UK.
The body of Sergeant Gareth Thursby, a former pupil of South Craven School at Cross Hills, was flown into RAF Brize Norton last Thursday, where his Union Flag-draped coffin was carried from the plane with full military honours.
Sgt Thursby and colleague Private Thomas Wroe, both of 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, were shot on September 15 when a man dressed as a local Afghan policeman pretended to be injured so they would help him.
A day earlier, Lance Corporal Duane Groom, of The Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, was killed when his vehicle struck an improvised explosive device.
The families of the three fallen servicemen gathered to see the bodies brought home and stood side by side in the memorial garden in Carterton, in Oxfordshire, as they watched the cortege of three hearses approach.
At the side of the road in Carterton, more than 20 Royal British Legion standard-bearers slowly lowered their flags.
The cortege was escorted at walking pace past the memorial garden, where it paused briefly next to a Union Flag hung at half mast.
Family and friends stepped forward to place their flowers on the hearses.
Married father-of-two Sgt Thursby, 29, and Pte Wroe, 18, were shot dead in the south of Nahr-e Saraj district, Helmand province.
Sgt Thursby is survived by his wife Louise, from Cross Hills, and two children, Joshua and Ruby.

The Hungarian-born movie veteran's surgeon has confirmed that the July 18 operation is successful following the star's Saturday bone-breaking fall.
Veteran actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has undergone successful surgery to replace the hip she broke when she fell out of bed at her home on Saturday, July 17. The Hungarian-born movie veteran suffered several broken bones and was taken to UCLA hospital by ambulance following the accident.
Her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, tells the Associated Press the actress was in surgery for three-and-a-half hours on Monday morning, July 18, and her surgeon has confirmed there were no complications.
The 93-year-old star, who have played in several movies such as "Every Girl Should Have One", "Smart Alec" and "Charlie Barnett's Terms of Enrollment", has been confined to her bed since a 2002 car accident left her partially paralyzed. She sparked fears for her ailing health in January, when she was photographed in a wheelchair looking shockingly frail and weak.

Orlando Bloom's wife is 'in a lot of pain' following a car accident in Los Angeles, but thankful that 'Flynn was not in the car with her.'
Miranda Kerr was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles on Monday, March 11. According to Private Sydney, the supermodel was in her car with an assistant when another car slammed hers from behind. Kerr was rushed to hospital and had MRI scan to see if she had serious injury. Kerr had to wear a neck brace during recovery.
Kerr's spokesperson, Annie Kelly, said that Kerr was "thankful that her baby boy Flynn was not in the car with her." Kelly explained Kerr's condition, "She is in a lot of pain but really, we are just glad that it was not more serious." The driver in the other car was said being arrested for reckless driving.
Kerr's husband Orlando Bloom must have been comforting her after the accident. Kerr is expected to resume her work in a few days. She will fly to Sydney in April to launch Qantas' new uniforms which are designed by famous Australian designer, Martin Grant.
Miranda Kerr started dating Orlando Bloom in 2007. The couple announced their engagement on June 21, 2010. The supermodel later confirmed on July 22 that she got married to Bloom in an "intimate ceremony." Kerr gave birth to their first child Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom in 2011.

Frontman Ryan Tedder recently explained that the song was initially planned to be released as the lead single off their 'Native' album, but was later scrapped after he couldn't 'crack the chorus.'
A new song by OneRepublic is currently on the way. On Tuesday, April 8, the band fronted by hitmaker Ryan Tedder took to their SoundCloud page to post the preview of the track titled "Love Runs Out".
The track is going to be officially released on April 14. Lead singer Tedder, who also wrote and produced the song, recently revealed that "Love Runs Out" was originally intended to be the lead single off his band's current album "Native".
" 'Love Runs Out' was originally going to be the first single on our album but I couldn't crack the chorus," Tedder said in a recent interview with the BBC. "It gutted me because I had it marked on the board as 'first single' for six months. Brent Kutzle, who is the cello and bass player in the band, said: 'Man, we cannot put this out with an A+ verse and a B+ chorus.' "
"Native" was released in March, 2013. Having spawned hit singles "Counting Stars" and "Something I Need", the record peaked at No. 4 on Billboard 200.

Approve Genetic Sequencing for my son, Odin
Today my son Odin was denied the tests he needs to prolong his life and give him some comfort and quality. Currently Odin is just shy of being a vegetable, he is almost 2 but doesn't talk, doesn't move on his own and cannot even hold is head up for more then a couple seconds. The genetic sequencing that Odin was denied for by his insurance company would give us clues as to how to treat his disease, it would give him a chance to not be in constant pain and to be with us for a few extra years. There is absolutely no way we can afford the testing on our own, the cost is well into the million dollar mark according to Odin's neurologists. We ask that people write letters and call on my son's behalf, asking them to appeal their decision and give my boy a shot at life. Thank you.We are also asking people to write letters to the medical director on Odin's behalf, the contct information is:Attn Medical DirectorExcellus Health Plan, Inc.165 Court StRochester, NY 14647Phone Number:1-800-650-4359My son's full name is Odin Bowie Fortner-Watrous and his birthday is 8/23/2011.To keep updated with Odin's condition head here: https://www.facebook.com/OdinBowie

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/12/2012 (1705 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Again, the daunting task of consoling his citizens after another lone gunman brought carnage to another community fell to President Barack Obama. This time, his fourth in as many years, Obama confronted the unimaginable: the senseless slaughter of 20 small children.
Yet Obama did more than act as mourner-inchief at an interfaith vigil here Sunday night: He also vowed, in an angry tone that defined much of his speech, to use "whatever power this office holds" to enact changes aimed at preventing future massacres.
"We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change," Obama said. He added: "We can't accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
Behind his words was a signal of presidential intent that Obama, for the first time, would push for solutions aimed at preventing such incidents, such as new gun-safety laws. But, he said, he would save detailed policy discussions for another venue on another day; he did not utter the word "gun" during the 18-minute speech.
The president eulogized those killed Friday by a gunman who brought what Obama called "indescribable violence" and "unconscionable evil" to Sandy Hook Elementary School — "a school that could've been any school."
"I come to offer the love and prayers of a nation," Obama said. "I am very mindful that mere words cannot match the depths of your sorrow, nor can they heal your wounded hearts. I can only hope it helps for you to know that you're not alone in your grief."
Obama did not openly cry, as he did during an appearance after the shootings Friday. But he took sporadic pauses to compose himself and spoke again as a father, having started his day by watching his daughter Sasha's dance rehearsal. He ended it in a hall full of grieving parents, some of whom won't ever get to see their children's performances again. In his own remarks during the vigil, Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, D, said Obama had told him that Friday was the most difficult day of his presidency. Hours after the Newtown shooting, Obama fell silent and wiped tears from his eyes as he read a brief statement from the White House press briefing room.
"Someone once described the joy and anxiety of parenthood as the equivalent of having your heart outside of your body all the time, walking around. With their very first cry, this most precious, vital part of ourselves, our child, is suddenly exposed to the world, to possible mishap or malice," Obama said Sunday.
Every American's first task, he said, is to protect and care for the nation's children.
"Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children, all of them, safe from harm?" Obama asked, adding: "If we're honest with ourselves, the answer's no. We're not doing enough. And we will have to change."
Obama spoke inside the auditorium of Newtown High School from a lectern bearing the presidential seal, but without his typical trappings. There were no prompters; he read his speech from notes. He stood in front of a black curtain. Twenty-seven candles rested at the foot of his podium, one for each of those killed.
Earlier, Obama met with the victims' families and first responders. He was photographed smiling as he held up the newborn granddaughter of Dawn Hochsprung, Sandy Hook's principal, who was among those slain.
But when the service began, as clergy leaders read prayers and sang hymns, Obama sat in the front row looking despondent, his hands clasped together and his eyes misty.
For Obama, this was a familiar, awful ritual. He made similar journeys to Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 after 13 service members were killed; to Tucson, Ariz., in 2011, after the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and the killing of six of her constituents; and to Aurora, Colo., this July after 12 people were shot dead inside a movie theater.
Each time, a gunman used weapons of war to massacre his countrymen. And each time, Obama stood before a nation in mourning, helping it define and overcome a gruesome act that under his presidency has become all too common.
"There isn't someone who's dealt with this kind of situation as often as he has," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of presidential rhetoric at the University of Pennsylvania.
President George W. Bush comforted the nation after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and President Bill Clinton consoled Americans after the 1995 bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma City and the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School near Denver.
But no president in recent history has had to confront mass shootings of the scale and frequency of those under Obama.
A White House official said Obama was the primary author, although he worked on edits with speechwriter Cody Keenan aboard Air Force One as they flew to Connecticut. Keenan helped Obama write his eulogy in Tucson.
Perhaps the most poignant moment came near the end of Obama's speech, as he read aloud the first names of all 20 dead children.
"Charlotte, Daniel, Olivia, Josephine, Ana, Dylan, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Jesse, James, Grace, Emilie, Jack, Noah, Caroline, Jessica, Benjamin, Avielle, Allison," he said.
The president paused at times, struggling to hold his composure. Adults in the auditorium could be heard sobbing.
"God has called them all home," Obama continued. "For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on and make our country worthy of their memory."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Everywhere you look you will be delighted by the unusual design touches and ideas that bring urban glamour and seaside chic together to make a wonderful place to stay.
Stepping in this historical cottage won't take you back in time, as its contemporary design is bright, modern and very different to what you may expect.
The cottage is compact and bijou - so space is cleverly used and may not be ideal for large/tall people who are looking for spacious surroundings. (although the owner is large and tall!)
The cottage has an open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room with log burner on the ground floor leading out to the pretty sunny garden with outside seating, lawn and garden beach hut. You will also be able to use our beach hut at Minnis Bay during the summer months.
The sitting room, has art from British designer and illustrator Andy Tuohy, a Shell Grotto inspired fireplace, a lovely log burning stove and is stocked with everything you need to enjoy a cosy night in. There is a tv, dvd player and selection of dvd's and book selection for you to indulge in. The cottage also has WIFI which is free for you to use.
In the kitchen, the design mixes urban and industrial features there's a fridge with small freeze compartment, mircowave, induction hob and electric cooker and everything you need to rustle up a tasty meal. There's space to dine inside or outside plus a garden beach hut. There's a downstairs bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
On your way upstairs, take a moment to look up and spot the blue and cloudy sky, before entering into the two bedrooms.
There's a glamorous mermaid inspired bedroom 1 with double bed and luxurious linens, ready to offer you a cosy night sleep. Bedroom 2 is full of quirky delights that will surprise you and make you smile - there's a single cabin bed with a pull out single bed underneath, suitable for two children. Please note the second bedroom can sleep two but may not be ideal for older children such as tall teenagers or adults who are tall and like space! We want to be very clear that the second bedroom is cosy and when the bottom part of the cabin bed is pulled out there is very limited space in the room.
In the summer months (April-September) you can also use our beach hut at Minnis Bay - but please make sure to request this at the time of booking so we can make sure its ready for you and provide the key. Please note: The beach hut is not available from September-March.
The cottage is very close to Margate for a visit to the newly opened Dreamland vintage theme park (take a step back in time for a traditional seaside visit) or the stylish art gallery of Turner Contemporary for free art and events.
You are within walking distance (15-30 minutes depending on how fast you walk!) of the beautiful blue flag beach at Minnis Bay, ideal for swimming, walks and bike rides. You can enjoy a walk across the fields to the beach or its a 5 minute drive away with free parking on the streets. Follow the coast round to Westgate, Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate if you enjoy a stroll. The village of Birchington has everything you need from pubs, shops, restaurants, takeaways and gift shops.
Bookings during peak season:
Please note we take Saturday to Saturday bookings during peak season. We require a minimum 7 day booking in the main school holidays. But we are flexible where we can be so always get in touch.
I live locally with my partner Kevin and two young sons. Our beautiful cottage has been featured in numerous magazines and even in a TV advert as its very quirky! We love the beautiful sandy beaches around Thanet which has so much to offer residents and visitors alike. You will often find me walking or riding around the coast on a sunny day or popping into see some art at Turner Contemporary when the sky turns grey.
Lucy Tuson purchased this house in 2006
Flint cottages looked so lovely from the outside and my partner Kevin has lovely restored the cottage to make it bright, modern and filled with unique and unusal design touches. There is so much to enjoy from the use of our beach hut at Minnis Bay in the summer, the log burning stove on a cold evening, the quirky decorations to the lovely garden. I hope you enjoy the cottage as much as we do.
The cottage is a delight, small but with great design, it has a real sense of space that you may not expect from a historical cottage of its age. I love the Shell Grotto inspired fireplace for a winter's snuggle on the sofa or enjoying a glass of bubbles out in the garden of a summer evening. I also love that I can take a walk across the fields to Minnis Bay in between 15-30 minutes and head down to the beach hut for a beachy afternoon and a sea swim!
Stayed for 6 days whilst visiting family in area. The cottage was ideal for us but, as advertised, may not suit anyone with mobility issues as it has a steep staircase and car parking is in the next street (but only 100 metres or so away). The decoration and furnishings are very quirky but give a very comfortable feel to the property. It was very clean and the bathroom and shower were modern. It also has a delightful small sunny garden with table and chairs for outdoor eating. The welcome pack on arrival with wine, hot cross buns (it was Easter time!), croissants and cake etc was a very welcome surprise. We did not use the beach hut available with the property but saw Minnis Bay where it is and can imagine that it would be great fun in warmer weather. I can thoroughly recommend this cottage and hope to be able to stay there again!
We had another lovely weekend at the cottage.
The weather was again amazing, so we used the beach hut twice.
We cycled to and from Margate too, which was great.
Thank you for another great long weekend.
Nancy and family
We had a great time at Flint Cottage. We loved all the vintage and modern interior touches. I loved the Andy Tuohy art work! Much nicer than a bland 'beige' normal holiday let. Great high street, and delicious Fish and chips from The Seabells. The added bonus is you get the use of the owners beach hut on Minnis Bay. We were very lucky with the weather, and had a lovely time on the beach, which has a small beach cafe and a bar/restaurant, and portaloos! Dreamland in Margate is only a 15min or so drive away, and our kids loved it. They have done a great renovation job. We will definitely be re-booking Flint cottage.
We had a very wet (bad planning on our part) but wonderful week in this delightful small cottage.
The property had been decorated very well, with a beach/sea/retro feel running throughout.
On arrival we found a lovely welcome hamper with essentials (inc. wine) to keep us going until we had time to shop.
The High Street in Birchington is just around the corner and has everything you could wish for.
We loved the beach hut at Minnis Bay and the sunsets (when it wasn't raining) were stunning!
WIFI at the cottage was a definite plus!! Especially for the kids with their tablets etc.The only slight downfalls to the property were the shower curtain - shower is too powerful for it and sometimes left the floor soaked and the freezer door did not close properly which meant some of our frozen food thawed.
All in all we had a great week here and would happily return, hopefully with the sun next time!
Leuke woning, schoon maar klein. Frisse inrichting. Weinig bergruimte. Voor gezin met van 4 met 2 grote kinderen eigenlijk te klein. Goede ligging. Een paar makkelijke tuinstoelen zouden een aangename aanvulling zijn. Leuk welkomstgeschenk bij aankomst. Van het strandhuisje hebben we helaas geen gebruik gemaakt.
Turner contemporary - free international art gallery
Dreamland - theme park in nearby Margate - great day out
Lots of unique shops, galleries and lovely places to eat

Democratic incumbent J.C. Henderson was elected to a fifth consecutive term as District 4 county commissioner Tuesday, defeating challenger Kenneth Hardeman by gathering 56.63 percent of the 1,049 votes cast.
"This was definitely the hardest election I've ever had; it was an uphill fight," Henderson said, thanking God. "He made it happen."
Henderson is the longest serving county commissioner, having been first elected in 1996.
During the campaign he emphasized his prior accomplishments, asking voters to support him based on his record. He talked about helping senior citizens gain tax-exempt status, a goal which was finally accomplished when 87 percent of residents voted in favor of a senior citizen homestead exemption on the 2008 ballot.
He also emphasized his involvement on the Newton County Recreation Commission to expand kids programs, and his push to bring more community services to District 4.
Henderson said one of his shining moments was the 2005 SPLOST, when he secured funding for the renovation of Wolverine Field and the old Cousins gymnasium, as well as the Nelson Heights Community Center. The hope is for all three buildings to become community gathering points.
Henderson said he also worked hard previously to help build the Turner Lake recreation complex, and to renovate the old Cousins High School, which now contains Troy University, the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Covington-Newton County 911 Center.
He said in addition to continuing his push to expand services, Henderson hopes to help bring more jobs to his district. He said the unemployment rate is in double digits in many areas, but could be 15 percent or higher in Covington's poorer areas.
He said he wants to hold public hearings on whether the county should change its alcohol ordinance to allow liquor-by-the-drink sales.
Hardeman, a member of the county's planning commission, said he plans to continue to serve in that capacity. He said he hasn't decided if he will run again in 2014, but he feels that the residents want change and competition.
"I feel good about what we did and the campaign we ran. We ran an honest campaign, and stayed on the high road. We gave the people a choice and the people have spoken. I want to say by the numbers it was incumbent there was a desire for change in District 4, but it wasn't enough to make an actual change," Hardeman said.

There will be no Williamsport hysteria this year.
The Ahwatukee Little League Majors team was knocked out of the District 13 All-Star tournament after five of the seven teams in its age group finished at the top of the standings at with a 4-2 record.
It came down to a tiebreaker and ALL came out on the short end, meaning it wont move on to the semifinals and play for a chance to for the district title.
District winners advance to a sectional in Prescott before playing in the state tournament in Coolidge.
In 2006, the Ahwatukee community got swept up in the excitement of the Dawgs advancing all the way to Williamsport, Pa., and won two games before being knocked out.
The Minors team grabbed the top seed and the 11- and 10-year-old team is the third seed in Fridays semifinals at the Tempe Sports Complex.
The Minors face Chandler National South at 5:30 pm and the 11-10 team takes on Tempe South at 8 p.m.


text: Hi all, a couple of reports that may be of interest. First up, an 8P A3 that was put through a small protection detail. Audi A3 2.0T â Lincoln Volkswagen Specialists Ltd Sorry about the lack of reports recently; been flat out! Since my last write up, the F.458 Italia, Iâve done two minor corrections, been out on three maintenance trips and ticked off four protection details. I wanted to share this one though as the car belongs to a local trusted company that Iâve worked alongside of for a few months now⦠Lincoln Volkswagen Specialists Ltd. - Proud To Be Independant. - Lincoln Volkswagen Specialists Ltd From servicing and repair, to diagnostics and performance upgrades located on the outskirts on Lincoln â LN5 9EJ. So onto the car in question⦠Itâs their development toy, an Audi A3 2.0 TFSi Quattro. Currently, the car comprises of the following modifications: REVO Stage 1 Software (taken the vehicle from 200bhp to 260bhp) Forge Front Mount Twintercooler Forge 11mm Wheel Spacers Forge 330mm Big brake kit EBC turbo grooved rear discs and Yellow stuff pads Braided brake hoses Brake system running DOT 5 fluid Full super pro polly bush kit Eibach front and rear anti roll bars Eibach coilovers Custom wheel alignment And future plans for the car? A full engine rebuild and GT3071X turbo charger. Having just completed a 2500 mile trip around Europe (Nurburgring included), it was ready for some TLC. Interior a little grubby, too: The plan was to fully strip back, cleanse and protect the exterior and then to fix the interior and upholstery if time allowed. The car has done quite a bit of track time; wheels seriously caked and the lower body panels were covered in road tar and rubber. Usual approach in the wash stages â wheels > shuts > pre-wash > wash > tar > clay > dry. Numerous applications of CarPro Iron-X were needed to fix the heavily pitted rims. Once washed, AutoSmart Tardis used to help lift the stubborn tar deposits: Next, Iron-X âSoap gelâ used alongside an old foam finishing pad to further deep cleanse the paintwork and remove inorganic contaminants. Finally, in the car was clay barred to remove any remaining traces of foreign contaminants. In this case, tree sap! Engine bay cleaned with a degreaser and later dressed once dry and inside.

Look who makes an appearance in the double episode finale of Offspring on Sunday night.
And someone may return the favour by appearing back on their show next week too….
If you're a fan of Offspring, the episodes converge several storylines that have been brewing.
TV Tonight attended the final location shoot of the series (final pic) on a bitterly cold day in August. The cast were doing their best to shrug off the chill and stay cheerful for a group scene, but it was hard going. The rigors of show business!
The final two eps for the year air at 8:30pm Sunday. Don't miss Eddie Perfect's perfect song…

As we draw ever closer to a time when Sony will finally see fit to put us out of our misery and show us the Honami, there's no denying that the hype has reached its peak. Of course, being in a position to benefit handsomely from the buzz, the Sony Mobile team has every intention to keep us on our toes. To that end, a new teaser image of the Honami, hashtagged #bestofSony, has been published on Sony Mobile's Facebook page and on their Twitter handle simply stating:
"It's the smartphone everyone's been talking about... not long now #bestofSony".
Interestingly enough, a similar-looking teaser image (seen in the gallery below) was leaked earlier this month, but the device on that one featured only a power button, unlike this one.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter whether you're a Sony fan or not, nor whether you're excited about the upcoming Sony Honami/Z1, right now. A new flagship release is a new flagship release, and just as simply as that – if quality products are what you're looking for – the more, the better.
Speaking of quality products, there's no denying that Sony has been hard at work, improving their offerings – a not so easy feat, considering the ruthlessly fierce competition. And before you brand us as being anything less than impartial – the tech incorporated in the Sony Z Ultra's display, which we expect to be packed in the Honami's, too, has been showcased to be perceptibly improved.
So go ahead and check the latest teaser courtesy of Sony.

Educate community on temples
I refer to the letter Gov't duty to protect temples .
The writer is right in saying that places of worship are judicial entities. It is acknowledged that shrines and Hindu temples have been used for spiritual upliftment in certain vicinities for over 50 to 150 years and long before the local councils were formed. Thus, it is agreed that it is the government's duty to regularise them in the event these shrines/temples have not fulfilled the stipulated building requirements.
However, once local councils came into existence, all communities be they Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Sikh or Muslim should be responsible enough to not build places of worship on an ad-hoc basis, flout local regulations and then conveniently blame commercial development, local authorities and the government. It is wise to remember the legal maxim which says: 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse".
In this regard, the Hindu Sangam, political parties, local councils and the government should play an active and pivotal role in advising the Hindu community not to build shrines and Hindu temples on ad-hoc basis as prevention is better than cure. However, what makes the local authorities and the government 'look bad' in the eyes of the public and international community are these factors:
- The government standing by and just watching the wanton destruction of Hindu temples by local councils in several states. Why didn't the federal government interfere?
Recently, the Gerakan Youth slammed several quarters for the destruction of Hindu temples Coincidentally, the letter above narrates the case of a Hindu temple at the Batu Kawan Estate which was compulsorily acquired by the Penang government in 1992.
Ideally, Gerakan Youth should 'walk the talk' in persuading and influencing the Gerakan-led Penang government to resolve the impasse regarding the established Hindu temple at Batu Kawan Estate.
In Selangor, the above letter mentioned that plantation companies are not adhering to the state government's policy pertaining temples which were on the estates before the estates were turned into townships. It is sad and disappointing to note that the MIC has not done anything politically or legally to take these plantation companies to task for flouting the law.

A Sell Zone Is Fast Approaching
The powerful rally off Tuesday's extremely weak close has lifted both the Dow Industrials and the S&P 500 up to a key resistance zone. The SPDR DJIA (DIA) is approaching Monday's highs and is now within $0.50 of filling the breakdown gap left behind after this week's open. The SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) is a bit further away but appears on track to move past Monday's peak.
In the near term I believe the sharp upside reversal off the Tuesday's lows is becoming overextended and a pullback will begin soon. Earlier this week I was on the buy side but now believe some hedging makes sense. Both the DIA and SPY are approaching areas that will likely offer a challenge to further upside....245 more words left in this article.

Paul Qui of Uchiko in Austin Won the James Beard Award for Best Chef in Southwest Last Night
Chef Bruno Davaillon FB
Last night the James Beard Foundation presented its coveted awards for best chef. Chef Bruno Davaillon of Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek was a finalist for Best Chef Southwest Region, along with Bruce Auden of Biga on the Banks in San Antonio, Kevin Binkley of Binkley's Restaurant in Arizona, Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja in Denver, Hugo Ortega or Hugo's in Houston and Paul Qui, of Uchiko in Austin.
Qui, who won Top Chef Texas season 9, took home the top honors. Last year Qui's mentor, Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi, Uchiko's mother-ship restaurant, also won for best chef of the region. Two James Beard awards for the same outfit in as many years. (For the record, last year Tyson actually tied with Saipin Chutima of Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas.)
Here's to hoping Chef Bruno had good time on his trip to NYC and hit a few of the restaurants we chatted about prior to his trip.

Faldo finds old sparkle
Former world number one Nick Faldo admitted he did not want to stop playing after hitting the best round of the week at the US Open.
Faldo fired a 66 for the 54-hole clubhouse lead at two-over-par 212.
"I would love to be going to the first tee right now, carry on that momentum," Faldo said after his round.
"It would be great to keep that going.
"Now it's time to go home and regroup and get ready for Sunday."
Faldo opened with two birdies on the front nine and birdied three out of four holes starting at the 11th to reach two under.
A bogey at the 15th set him back but the three-time Open and three-time Masters champion followed with a birdie on the par-three 17th, showing what he could do under dry conditions.
"This was as good as my heyday," Faldo said.
"It was as good as 10 years ago, or as good as the 67 at Augusta that won."
That 67 came six years ago, when Faldo came from six shots behind in the final round of the Masters to beat a stumbling Greg Norman and win his third green jacket and sixth major championship.
"I've had my negatives for the last couple of years. I was really down on my game," Faldo said. "I slowly built it back up, but just not as quickly as I wanted."
"If the wind blows the right way for me, you never know," Faldo said.
"You never know what might be in store."
Sergio Garcia paid the price for his complaints at having to play on during Saturday's rain-hit second round, as he faced a rowdy crowd that yelled insults along almost every fairway.
But the Spaniard held his nerve to shoot a three-under 67 on Saturday and move within four shots of Woods.
"No rain today, what's your excuse," someone yelled from the first tee, while others imitated crying babies.
"It was rough out there. But I'm actually glad it happened," Garcia said.
"It helped me mature a lot."
He added: "Even if I don't leave with anything this week, I'm leaving with a lot of new nicknames!"

The Sea Butterfly is a species of marine zooplankton. It only appears in Endless Ocean: Blue World.
In-Game Description
"This member of the mollusc family has parapodia, special wing-like legs, that it uses to swim while floating.
It is related to the sea angel, but preyed upon by it."
Endless Ocean 2
The player can find small groups of Sea Butterflies inder zoom-mode glows in the North Coast of Canada area, around coordinates B-1 SW, C-1 SW, D-2 SE, D-3 NW, and B-4 NE.
These small creatures float about idly in loose groups under their zoom-mode patches. They like being given food.
- These creatures are extremely small and somewhat hard to see, so players often have to look carefully to spot them. It is also recommended that the player bring Oceana with them when searching for this creature in order to make the zoom-mode spots visible in the first place,
- This species was at first thought to occur in both the Arctic and Antarctic zones of the planet, but around 2010 it was discovered that the species found around the south pole are a different species entirely than the ones found at the north, with the scientific name Limacina Rangii being applied to the ones in Antarctica. The ones the player finds in-game are the northern variety.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question.
Could you please tell me why you think you have cancer and of what specific organ do you think you have cancer of?
Have you had a recent blood test for a physical?
Thank you,
Thank you for your reply Walt,
Have you had any blood in your stool? Is your appetite down? Any cough? Any trouble swallowing?
When was your last physical exam with blood work and when was your last colonoscopy?
Having family history of colon cancer puts you at a higher risk for developing one so if you have not had a recent colonoscopy (less then 5 years ago), you need to have one done before your benefits expire.
Unless you have rectal bleeding, abdominal pain or a change in bowel habits, I highly doubt you have developed colon cancer.
You should not be scared of the word cancer...most cancers, if found early, are treatable and curable but at 63, you need to have routine blood tests done as well as a thorough physical examination, including a rectal exam.
Easy bruising is not a sign of cancer, you do not need to worry about it. Weight loss, although somewhat worrisome, does not necessarily mean cancer either. There are other conditions that can cause weight loss (such as over-active thyroid gland).
So, of course, cancer is a possibility, but its a long shot in the dark. You do need to have a full physical exam with blood work and, definitely, a colonoscopy.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to follow-up with any other questions you might have.

The reason for so many confusing standards is simple: All of the drive companies have developed technology that they hope will become widely adopted, establishing a royalty stream for themselves through the licensing of their patents to other companies. "But it's not an evil conspiracy to confuse end users or extend the lives of current technologies by delaying the widespread use of DVD writable formats," says Dana Parker, a former chair of the DVD-Professional conference and current cochair of DVD Europe. Parker doesn't think there will be winners and losers among the competing formats; the likely scenario is that they will evolve side by side. "For prerecorded media, a single standard is very beneficial. But for storage media, there can and should be more than one option."
This just means that computer users will have to keep track of all of the different standards and devicesand which equipment works with which drive. IT professionals and power users are used to making tough decisions on storage, whether it's DLT versus DAT or DVD-RAM versus DVD+RW. That decision won't get any easier; as hot as this technology has become, there's no guarantee that companies won't get burned.

About the Book
In June of 2007 my Mom came to California for a visit and she brought her friend Eunice along for the ride. It was a glorious fun-filled week...!
They stayed for almost eight days - during which time; we tried almost every restaurant in LA, strolled along the "walk of fame" on Hollywood Blvd., hung out in Santa Monica on the pier and the Third St. Promenade, got manicures/pedicures and our eyebrows threaded.
We went to Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona; went to the Long Beach Aquarium, had drinks and dinner on the the Queen Mary, went on a 3-mile hike in the Hollywood Hills, walked around Universal Studios, drove up to the Hollywood sign and went site-seeing over to Paramount Studios. We went to see a play that had been turned into a movie and enjoyed the joyous sounds of the Brazilian Summer Fest at the Ford Theatre...not necessarily in that order!
This book is just a highlight of our many adventures...enjoy!

About the Creator
That's me in the photo! I think I was 5 or 6 years old...standing by the Christmas tree - still my favorite time of the year! How 'bout that painting on the wall (cool huh?) There are two great loves in my life - my niece and my nephew (Kennedy-6 & Ethan-5). They warm my heart and make me smile out loud all at the same time. My other two indulgences - I could eat sushi and chocolate everyday - at least two times a day (not necessarily together). Life is great right now!

In the US election year now beginning, more than government is at stake. Everywhere politics is changing beyond recognition by the communications revolution.
Radio and television were the advance guard of this new world. With satellites, television became a global, interlocking network. The Internet duplicated that feat for computers, which add to passive viewership the possibility of interactive participation with what is on the screen. With the invention of the photo-optic cable, the television set, the computer, and heaven knows what else, may soon be conjoined into a single device. And "virtual reality" - the three dimensional simulation of experience - has already debuted.
There is nothing to compare this new environment to except the natural environment. Computers have "viruses," and there is talk of the "natural evolution" of software, which, like Darwin's organisms, will fend for themselves in the new environment - virtual organisms evolving in virtual seas.
Warfare, too, is being reinvented. One army may send its hostile "information" (viruses, etc.) or other means to attack an enemy country's information. A modern nation whose military information is corrupted or disarmed - its satellites flying out of their orbits, its computer screens foaming with nonsense, its missiles curving back to strike its own cities - could be as thoroughly humbled as one smashed by physical bombs. Iraq learned something of this in the Gulf War as American "smart bombs" destroyed Iraqi command and control links.

Utah Women Go Through A Lot To Get Married
There must really be a man shortage in Utah because some women have resorted to dire measures to find husbands. Take, for instance, sisters Katie and Priscilla Churcher, who are both married to Travis. All three were raised as Fundamentalist Mormons, a splinter group of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that practices polygamy. Katie was married to Travis first, but after a few years, he began to woo Priscilla, who eventually fell in love with him. Although polygamy is illegal, the three spouses share a home, with each of the wives having their own room that Travis alternates between. And there's no sibling rivalry! The sisters say their marriage is perfect for their personal lives because it gives each of them more time with friends and they always have a babysitter. [Lemondrop]Then there's Kelly O'very, a 38-year-old Salt Lake City woman, who recently posted a personal ad reading "Free Jeep with wedding ring … Let's get hitched!" She's offering up a Honda 400EX jeep, but she wants a proposal in exchange. The ad describes a "fully loaded" offering with add-ons like a solid work ethic, good sense of humor, and an interest in mechanics. She says she has already received about 300 replies. [Lemondrop]

Sitting in traffic on 405 freeway near exit 52 going south to work when I was rear-ended by a 2013 Nissan. Back and front of car folded up, I was ejected from the seat belt (opened up and flew into passenger seat) and not one air bag opened. I could not move, my foot was fractured, stomach hurt, neck, back and arms in pain. Chp on the scene. Car that ran into the back of me pushed me into a large truck and pushed the truck into a car. 4-car accident. Car has been totaled and I am reporting the failure and defect with the seat belts and air bags.
When experiencing an abrupt stop the passenger seatbelt tightens up and does not loosen up again without unbuckling. Has happened three times and only to the passenger side.

Driver of our car, the Hyundai Elantra touring, slowed to about 20-25 mph to let a car in front of us turn into a driveway. Driver of a Honda crv traveling behind us at about 45-50 mph did not slow and slammed into the back of us. Front seat passenger hit her head on the dashboard resulting in a bruise and black eye and whiplash because seat belt did not restrain her, and airbags did not deploy. Driver's seat slid backwards, loosening his seatbelt. He he hit his hip and knee on the door and experienced whiplash. Police on scene looked at seatbelts on both sides and determined there were no "stop marks" indicating the seatbelts had engaged.

The air bag light came on in my 2007 Hyundai Elantra. When I took it to the dealership, they said that there was some kind of electrical failure in the driver's side buckle assembly. I have heard of similar issues in 2006-2008 sonatas. I am concerned that this may be a factory defect.
Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while attempting to secure the drivers seat belt of the vehicle, the seat belt would not retract to properly secure the driver.

During merge onto a major dallas tollway, traffic became stopped in the right lane and upon applying a hard brake of my car, the anti-lock brakes failed to engage, the seatbelt did not lock, my car felt as though it was accelerating even though I was pressing the brake pad hard. I hit the car in front of me once and then again before my car stopped, still running. My car sustained $8500 in damage to the front end, but the air bag did not even deploy. I have owned it for 15 months and have not had an issue of this nature in the past, however I am now concerned of the safety of this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the air bag light indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The failure mileage was 76,000 and the current mileage was 79,000. . . Updated 08/11/14 the dealer informed the consumer, the seat belt sensor needed to be replaced. Updated 8-26-14.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technicians stated the seat belt buckle on the front driver side had to be replaced. The contact was also informed that there were two recall repairs under NHTSA campaign id number: 11v143000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module) and NHTSA campaign id number: 11v179000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module) that were associated with the VIN that had to be performed. The recall repairs were performed, however, the dealer refused to replace the buckle, stated it was not covered under the platinum 100,000 mile warranty and stated the contact would have to pay $700 to have it replaced. Mileage of failure 70,110.
A few months back I began noticing that my check engine light came on. Would take 10- 15 mins to fill up gas tank. Sensor was triggered every few seconds, suggesting gas tank was full, but it was not. Took it to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. With in the last month I have been noticing that rear automatic locking seat belt is not staying locked. Child car seats do not stay secured. Car occasionally stalls when started, and air bag light does not illuminate to determine if air bag will deploy or not.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver side seat belt sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 6,341.
The contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the driver's side seat belt would not retract or sit tightly across the driver's chest. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who stated that the seat belt needed replacing. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 66,000.
While driving east toward home, a large SUV or pickup truck came around the curve with bright lights on, thus blinding me. I did not see a car turning left until too late to stop. Resulting in rear ending the other car. The air bags on my Hyundai failed to deploy. Also I do not think the right seat belt did not catch allowing my wife, the passenger to travel to its end and hitting her head on the dash or windshield, also injuring her right shoulder. I did not receive any recalls on seat belts or air bags.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy: Indications and Results: Page 3 of 3
Stereotactic Breast Biopsy: Indications and Results: Page 3 of 3
In reported large series of stereotactic core biopsy, major complications have been rare. Parker et al[23] followed 3,765 women and found major complications in only 6 (0.2%). Among these patients, there were three hematomas requiring surgical drainage and three infections treated with drainage and/or antibiotics. Of note, no cases of needle-track seeding occurred.
Hann et al[24] found that when clinically significant bleeding develops after stereotactic core biopsy, it is invariably evident while the patient is at the facility performing the biopsy.
Minor complications are not unusual after stereotactic core biopsy. Of 100 women interviewed after stereotactic biopsy, 33 said that they experienced pain following the procedure, in some cases lasting up to 2 weeks, and 15 required analgesics.[25] In 28 women, noticeable bruising was reported. The most common side effect was the inability to return to normal activity after the procedure because of emotional stress. This occurred in more than half of the women.
Other authors have also cited a high rate of minor complications among their patients undergoing stereotactic core biopsy. Hardy et al[26] reported that patients undergoing these procedures were more concerned with the results than with the procedure itself. Jackman et al[27] noted that 69% of their patients experienced post-biopsy pain.
A few unusual complications have also been reported. In one case, a 14-gauge core biopsy done under sonographic guidance in a nursing mother produced a milk fistula, which healed during a 2-week weaning period.[28] In another instance, a large hematoma developed in a woman with factor XI deficiency, obscuring a small carcinoma diagnosed by stereotactic biopsy and making it impossible to localize the cancer for definitive surgical treatment.[29] After 3 months, the hematoma had resolved sufficiently to allow for treatment.
Diagnostic Limitations of Stereotactic Biopsy
The accuracy of stereotactic core biopsy in patient care depends on appropriate tissue sampling, histologic analysis, and correlation of histopathology with imaging findings. A limited number of studies have been published in which histologic findings at stereotactic core biopsy were correlated with those at surgical biopsy. These studies are listed in Table 1.[30-33] Accuracy in these series is approximately 90%. In any individual practice, this percentage will be influenced by the experience of the physician performing the biopsy, the type of lesion undergoing biopsy,[34] and the patient population.[35] Accuracy appears to be comparable with prone table and add-on units.[36]
In a series of 230 lesions biopsied with guidance from an add-on device, in which five cores of each lesion were obtained and results were correlated immediately with surgical biopsy findings, stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis was accurate in 98% of masses, 100% of masses with calcifications, 100% of focal asymmetries, and 86% of architectural distortions.[36] Of those lesions seen only as calcifications, 91% were accurately diagnosed. In this series, the overall accuracy of stereotactic biopsy was 97%.
Discordance of Biopsy Results and Imaging Patterns
These results of stereotactic core biopsy are comparable to the 96% to 98% accuracy rate of needle-localized breast biopsies. However, the total stereotactic biopsy procedure does not end with tissue sampling. The appropriateness of the histologic diagnosis should be determined by correlating it with the imaging pattern. If the histology does not correlate with the imaging pattern, it should be assumed that the lesion in question was not sampled at the time of stereotactic core biopsy and that a repeat biopsy needs to be performed.
In a study of 3,765 percutaneous large-core breast biopsies performed with either stereotactic or sonographic guidance, 5 (0.1%) were found to be malignant at 6-month follow-up examination.[23] In this series, 925 carcinomas were diagnosed. Of these cancers, 910 were detected at the time of stereotactic core biopsy, 10 were diagnosed at a surgical biopsy immediately after stereotactic biopsy, and the remaining 5 were found at the 6-month follow-up mammogram. The study's criteria for immediate surgical biopsy after stereotactic core biopsy were not clearly stated.
In another series of 314 consecutive stereotactic core biopsies, 22 (7%) were found to have carcinoma at surgical biopsy done shortly after stereotactic biopsy that failed to diagnose carcinoma.[35] Of these cases, 15 were surgically biopsied because of a stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis of ductal atypia, and 7 were rebiopsied because of discordance between the stereotactic biopsy histologic diagnosis and the imaging pattern.
This experience reinforces the need for correlating the histologic results with the presumed diagnosis made on the basis of imaging findings. If a BI-RADS category 5 lesion (high probability of malignancy) is discovered before stereotactic core biopsy and the biopsy results show a benign lesion, the need for a repeat biopsy, either a stereotactic core or surgical biopsy, should be strongly considered. In one series, 47% of lesions in which stereotactic core biopsy results and imaging diagnosis were discordant were found to be malignant on repeat biopsy.[35]
Diagnosing Carcinoma Coexisting With Benign Disease
In some lesions, carcinoma and benign entities can coexist. These coexistent lesions are commonly found when larger volumes of tissue are removed at surgical biopsy. However, because of the smaller volume of tissue obtained at stereotactic core biopsy, only the benign part of the lesion may be excised. When these high-risk histopathologies are removed, surgical biopsy should be routinely performed to assess for the possibility of coexistent carcinoma. The most common of these entities is atypical ductal hyperplasia or ductal atypia. Radial scars should also routinely be considered for surgical excision.
In other cases, a pathologist may require a larger volume of tissue than that obtained at stereotactic core biopsy to make a definitive diagnosis. Most commonly, this occurs in patients with fibroepithelial lesions, in whom it may be difficult to differentiate a fibroadenoma from a phyllodes tumor.
Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia or Ductal Carcinoma?--The coexistence of atypical ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma, especially ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), has been explained on the basis that these lesions arise from a central focus that can develop into atypical ductal hyperplasia or one of the many subtypes of DCIS. In one study of 100 consecutive cases of pure DCIS, it was found that atypical ductal hyperplasia was also present in 17 cases.[37] It is therefore not surprising to find DCIS present when atypical ductal hyperplasia is diagnosed.
In one series, 25 consecutive women diagnosed with atypical ductal hyperplasia at stereotactic biopsy were recommended for surgical excision of the biopsy site.[38] Surgical results were reported in 21 of these women, and carcinoma was found in 11 (52%) cases, of which 8 (73%) were pure DCIS and the remaining 3 (27%) were invasive ductal carcinoma.
In another study, 9 (50%) of 18 lesions diagnosed as atypical ductal hyperplasia at stereotactic core biopsy were found to contain carcinoma, which was DCIS in 6 cases and DCIS with invasive ductal carcinoma in the remaining 3 cases.[27] Of 30 women with atypical ductal hyperplasia at stereotactic biopsy reported by yet another group, 15 (50%) were found to have ductal carcinoma at surgical excision.[35]
Because of these data, lesions found to be atypical ductal hyperplasia at stereotactic core biopsy should be surgically excised. When stereotactic biopsy was performed using a 14-gauge gun-needle combination, about 50% of these reexcisions upgraded the lesion to ductal carcinoma, usually DCIS.
Because larger volumes of tissue are removed with vacuum-suction biopsy needles, carcinoma may be missed less frequently when it coexists with atypical ductal hyperplasia. Jackman and colleagues[21] found stereotactic core biopsy using a 14-gauge gun-needle combination missed carcinoma in 26 (48%) of 54 lesions diagnosed as atypical ductal hyperplasia. Using a vacuum-suction biopsy probe, this was reduced to 13 (18%) of 74 lesions.
This reduction in the underestimation of lesions with vacuum-suction biopsy was due to the acquisition of a larger number of cores, 10 per lesion, and a greater volume of tissue in each core, resulting in better sampling of the area. The use of vacuum-suction biopsy will decrease the number of cases of coexistent atypia/carcinoma in which only atypical ductal hyperplasia is diagnosed. However, in those women in whom this diagnosis is made at stereotactic core biopsy, surgical biopsy of the site remains necessary.
Understaging Lesions With DCIS/Invasive Cancer--Limited tissue sampling can also result in understaging of lesions in which DCIS and invasive carcinoma coexist. Because some lesions are largely DCIS but also have sites within the tumor that harbor invasive carcinoma, not sampling the entire lesion can result in failure to diagnose the invasive component.[39] This, in turn, can cause one to fail to appreciate the need for possible axillary dissection during the surgical procedure.[40] Consequently, the patient may need to undergo additional surgery when the diagnosis of invasion is made following histologic assessment of the surgical specimen.
One series has reported that 19% (8/43) of lesions diagnosed as DCIS at large-core needle biopsy had areas of invasion at surgical excision.[27] In another series of 12 cases diagnosed as DCIS at stereotactic core biopsy, 3 (25%) were found to have invasive ductal carcinoma also present within the lesion at surgery.
Because of this experience, a stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis of DCIS needs to be confirmed by surgical histopathology. Although the presence of DCIS within the lesion is invariably confirmed, areas of invasion may be discovered in about 20% of cases. If axillary dissection is required for adequate treatment, planning of the complete surgical treatment may not be possible based on stereotactic core biopsy results.
Significance of Lobular
Carcinoma in Situ
Special note should be made of the stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Because LCIS has no specific mammographic findings and is an incidental diagnosis made at the time of excision of another lesion, it should not be accepted as consistent with the imaging findings that mandated breast biopsy.[41] If LCIS is the diagnosis made at stereotactic core biopsy, it should be assumed that the lesion in question was missed and a repeat biopsy is necessary.
Other Potential Problems
Specimens obtained at stereotactic core biopsy should be sent for paraffin sectioning, not frozen-tissue analysis. The diminished quality of cytologic detail in frozen-section analysis increases the possibility of overdiagnosing invasive carcinoma due to the mingling of proliferative epithelium and stroma in such lesions as sclerosing adenosis and radial scar.[42]
Stereotactic core biopsy also results in the displacement of epithelial fragments beyond the main tumor mass in a considerable percentage of patients. Youngson et al[43] found that this occurred in 28% (12/43) of cases examined at surgical pathology obtained after stereotactic core biopsy had been performed to establish a preoperative diagnosis. Epithelial displacement is also seen following needling procedures, including anesthesia injection, suturing, needle localization, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Pathologists should be careful not to interpret these foci of displaced epithelium as sites of invasive carcinoma.
The issue of whether displacement of tumor at the time of needling has any clinical significance is difficult to assess. However, in a study by Berg and Robbins[44] that assessed the long-term outcome of women with palpable, stage-matched breast cancers, 15-year survival did not differ between women diagnosed with or without aspiration biopsy.
Accreditation of Biopsy Facilities
The full potential of stereotactic core biopsy to improve the quality of care available to women and to decrease the cost of breast cancer diagnosis will only be realized if facilities with appropriately trained staff make this procedure available to the community.[45] As with the delivery of mammography services in the United States, it is expected that stereotactic core biopsy may be regulated by the FDA under the Mammography Quality Assurance Act, which establishes federal control of all breast procedures done with x-ray imaging.
An accreditation program for stereotactic breast biopsy has been established by the American College of Radiology and joined by the American College of Surgeons.[46] This program sets criteria for the training, experience, and continuing medical education of physicians, technicians, and physicists involved in the performance of stereotactic core biopsy and equipment maintenance. Other components of the program include standards for radiation exposure, quality-control procedures, and evaluation of practice outcomes data.
Stereotactic core biopsy makes it possible to diagnose many mammographically evident breast lesions with greater speed, less cosmetic deformity, and less expense than traditional surgical biopsy. Performance of stereotactic core biopsy in any individual case may be limited by equipment availability, breast size, and coexisting medical conditions. Small lesions can be accurately targeted, but caution should be exercised before fully removing these lesions unless a localizing clip can be placed or an adjacent landmark identifies the site.
Major complications of stereotactic biopsy, including hemorrhage and infection, are rare, occurring in well below 1% of cases. Minor complications of ecchymosis, pain, and anxiety are common.
The accuracy of stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis is high, but biopsy results must be interpreted in light of the probable imaging diagnosis. A benign histopathology for a very suspicious imaging pattern suggests that the lesion targeted for biopsy may have been missed and that a repeat biopsy may be needed.
Because of the histologic heterogeneity of some lesions, sampling with stereotactic core biopsy may only remove areas from the less aggressive components of the lesion. A stereotactic core biopsy diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia raises the possibility of coexistent carcinoma, usually DCIS, and should prompt surgical excision of the lesion. A radial scar should be managed in the same fashion. Other, less common histologies may also require surgical excision in order to establish a definitive diagnosis.
Diagnosis of DCIS by stereotactic core biopsy may also represent understaging of the lesion, as areas of invasion will be found at surgical excision in some of these cases. Therefore, it may not be possible to plan for axillary lymph node dissection preoperatively in some of these women.

The Venus Project and Zeitgeist Debunked
This post is going to be a collection of all the rebuttals to the fairytale nonsense that is The Venus Project (heavily advocated in the film Zeitgeist). Followers of this misguided movement seem to be many so having a single page to point them to rather than spending hours of your life going over economic theory from scratch should be a useful time saver.
Firstly, bitbutter addresses the main problems with the idea in a short succinct video:

FCC approved the unannounced Nokia N85
FCC approved two versions of the N85. Both are quad-band GSM phones with Bluetooth and FM transmitter (also found in N78) but one of them also features UMTS 3G and WiFi. It is a tri-band 3G at 900/1900/2100 MHz, which is usable in the U.S. (with AT&T) but optimized for Europe.

There are all sorts of luck superstitions out there. Some
are about about what brings more good luck and some about things
that cause bad luck. But is there any validity to any of them?
There might be--just a little--according to recent research.
We'll get back to that in a moment. First let's look at some
of these superstitious beliefs.
Good Luck Superstitions
Four leaf clover; it predicts or bring good fortune.
Birthday cake candles; blow them all out on the first try
and you'll get your secret wish.
Garlic; hang it in the house and it will ward off bad things.
Itchy right hand; it means you're going to come into some
Other superstitious beliefs include getting lucky because
you dream about a white cat, put sugar in the cup before the
tea, catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, see a white
butterfly early in spring, or step on your shadow. I'm not sure
that last one is even possible, but feel free to try. Now let's
look at...
Bad Luck Superstitions
Umbrellas; to open one indoors brings misfortune.
Mirrors; break one and you'll have seven years of bad luck.
Itchy left hand; it means you'll lose money soon.
Owls; if one hoots in your yard it is a sign of bad things
to come.
Ladders; walking under one will bring misfortune.
Other superstitious beliefs include being unlucky as a result
of dreaming of dogs, sleeping with your feet toward a door, whistling
at night, starting a trip on a Friday, and sleeping on a table.
The latter will at least make you sore in the morning, which
won't feel too lucky.
Nonsense! (or not?)
Most superstitions are pure nonsense, although they don't
all have to be. We could design a superstition that would be
later validated by research. For example, we could get people
believing that for good luck they should call the five luckiest
people they know and talk to them in order to get "luck
energy." Almost certainly people who are identified as lucky
will be more likely to put the caller in a better state of mind,
and more likely to know of opportunities that might be available.
But existing superstitions are largely harmful. We waste mental
energy and suffer needlessly if we worry about black cats crossing
our path. We throw money away gambling if we think we have an
edge due to a lucky rabbit's foot.
Still, there is a type of superstitiousness which may not
be so bad, and might even help. Recent research done at the University
of Cologne in Germany found that college students who relied
on good luck charms did better on tasks that involved memory
and motor skills. In related tests it was found that just calling
something lucky made a difference. For example, when told that
their golf balls were lucky ones, students performed better on
putting challenges.
So should you be superstitious? Probably not. There are too
many ways in which it can cause you to make bad decisions. On
the other hand, if you are doing things other than gambling,
and you have your lucky hat on, it may not make sense to take
it off just to be "more rational." An archer who has
a feather as a charm might actually shoot better than if he gives
up his superstition.
Personally, I have no luck superstitions, and in Secrets
of Lucky People I take a much more scientific approach.
But if the science says a lucky shirt can help a salesman close
