This article first appeared in New Law Journal, 14 October 2011
The ramifications for those found to be in civil contempt (as presided over by the High Court), and, in particular, the court's power to enforce such a finding against a contemnor who resides overseas, are more far reaching than many (civil) lawyers realise. Wilful non compliance with a court order, or an undertaking given to the court, is a civil contempt of court.
An application for committal for contempt will normally be instigated by the opposing party although the High Court retains the power to instigate committal if it wishes. The nature of the civil proceedings in the course of which the alleged contempt has been committed will determine whether or not it is necessary to seek permission from the High Court before formally serving the application on the alleged contemnor. Unless the High Court directs otherwise, the hearing of the committal application will not take place less than 14 days after service on the alleged contemnor. The application will normally be held in public. There are some limited circumstances where the High Court may agree to hear the application in private but even then an individual found in contempt will not be able to avoid publicity as the name of the contemnor, the nature of the contempt and the penalty imposed will still be published.
The Penalties
Contempt of court must be proved to the criminal standard of beyond all reasonable doubt and, if found to be in contempt, an individual may be committed to prison for a maximum of two years' imprisonment (of which he or she will serve half) and an unlimited fine.
A last minute reprieve may, however, be offered to those who unexpectedly find themselves facing a period of time in prison as the High Court has the power to temporarily suspend the committal to prison if it considers the contemnor will finally comply with the original order or undertaking.
Whilst civil contempt is not a criminal offence (even if committed in connection with a criminal offence), it is a mistake to assume that a contemnor is not at risk of the same enforcement powers as a convicted criminal would be. The High Court has the inherent power to issue warrants for the arrest of an individual in contempt proceedings both before the actual hearing (so as to secure his/ her attendance) and once an order for committal has been made (in order to ensure the contemnor is detained). A warrant of arrest issued by the High Court will be circulated on the police database (the Police National Computer or 'PNC') and the fact of this warrant may be linked to the individual if he/she has to provide any form of identification to the authorities. For an individual travelling in and out of the UK frequently, the risk of the warrant being flagged up upon entry is extremely high. Once the authorities have identified the individual and the fact of the outstanding warrant of arrest, he/she will rapidly find themselves arrested and taken into custody.
A warrant for arrest following a ruling of contempt of court will remain in force for two years (unless a further order is made by the High Court). An individual might therefore conclude that it is safe to remain outside the UK until the warrant has expired. Such a move would, however, fail to take into account the power of the UK authorities to seek their extradition back to the UK. It will come as a surprise to many that civil contempt can fall under the category of an 'extradition offence' pursuant to the Extradition Act 2003. The only restriction on the power of the UK authorities to apply for a European Arrest Warrant is that the individual in question must have been committed to prison for contempt for at least four months.
European Arrest Warrant
Should the UK authorities choose to embark on the extradition route, a European Arrest Warrant ('EAW') may be issued by a UK court and from there it will be passed to the Serious Organised Crime Agency ('SOCA') for transmission to other European countries. If the UK authorities know where the contemnor is, the EAW can be sent directly to the authorities in that country. If the whereabouts of the individual are unknown, the EAW can be distributed to all member states via the International Criminal Police Organisation ('Interpol'). The Interpol Notice is called a 'red notice' and will leave the individual at risk of arrest by any member state that picks up on it. Once the contemnor is found, the arresting country will consider the EAW and whether or not it complies with their domestic legislation before deciding if he/she will be extradited back to the UK. Finally, it should also be borne in mind that this risk is not peculiar to Europe as an individual may be stopped in any non-European country if the red notice is picked up on and the UK may still initiate an extradition request (the success of which will rely on the relationship between the two countries and the existence of any treaty).
So, those individuals based overseas who might consider that it is better to risk a finding of contempt in absence rather than comply with an order which is onerous or may have severe financial consequences in the belief that they are beyond the reach of the High Court's jurisdiction, need to think again.
The recent case of JSC BTA Bank v Solodchenko & Others (June 2011) is an illustration of how seriously the High Court treats civil contempt. In Solodchenko's case, the High Court heard the application for his committal in absence (as he was thought to be out of the jurisdiction) and, having found him in contempt for failure to comply with an international freezing order, committed him to prison for 18 months. It will be interesting to follow the steps the High Court and the UK authorities will now surely take to ensure the order for committal is complied with.http://www.corkerbinning.com

One of the things I love about Easter has to be the cute bunnies everywhere.
I love seeing sweet ears and noses and whiskers.
So today I am sharing with you this adorable little bunny craft.
It's an easy project to make with kids, and would look so completely and gi-normously cute on any Easter table, or be a great non-candy treat to take to school.
And you know me...I like my crafting wares to come from the Dollar Store...'cause not only must it be cute, but also cheap.
It all began when I found the mini-jars of playdough. I thought the jars would look so fun dressed as bunnies. Then I spotted the eggs with the bunny face & ears and an idea was born.
Here are the supplies I used:
- mini playdough jar
- plastic eggs with bunny faces
- scrapbook paper
- cupcake liners
- white pom poms
- glue gun or white school glue
Step 1~Cover the jars with scrapbook paper.
Step 2~Cover the tops of the jars with a cupcake liner as shown. Glue.
Step 3~Glue on a white bunny tail.
Step 5~Glue the Easter bunny eggs to the top of the jars.
And now we have a bevy of bunnies in a rainbow of colours pretty enough to grace any Easter table.
Love them? I hope so!

Lent, the 40-day season before Easter, is a time of reflection, of reevaluation, and realignment of our priorities. This year, our Lenten season will focus on the idea and practice of Sabbath.
What is Sabbath?
In her book Sabbath: The Gift of Rest, author Lynne Baab says that Sabbath is, "A weekly day of rest and worship. A day to rejoice in abundance. A day to practice thankfulness. A day to slow down, take a deep breath, step aside from work and worries, and let the world go on without us, knowing that God is caring for everyone and everything."
With the increasing pace of life today, some people have become curious about finding rhythms of rest. In our busy, hectic lives, keeping the Sabbath can help bring a sense of God's peace in the midst of our multitasking.
The biblical Sabbath pattern has much to teach us about how and why to rest and how to keep God at the center of a day of rest. Along with an invitation to slow down and rest, our Lenten season at Christ the King will include an introduction to ways to practice Sabbath.
Sacred Space, Sacred Story returns to Wednesday nights
Once again this year, our Wednesday Lenten experience will find us creating a sacred space as we share sacred stories. After the more traditional Ash Wednesday services at 12:00 noon and 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 18, Sacred Space, Sacred Story will meet for five Wednesdays starting Feb. 25.
At 12:00 noon, members will share faith stories during worship in the sanctuary, which will also include songs, scripture, and prayers. After worship, a lunch will be served in the Fireside Room.
The evening experience starts with a simple meal of homemade soup and bread served from 5:30- 6:15 p.m. After the meal, there will be a worship featuring a shared faith story in the same sacred space. The evening concludes with the option of learning about a Sabbath practice and then trying it out.
A Season of Sabbath
Please note that this time of Sacred Space, Sacred Story will be for everyone and will be our Wednesday evening programming. for all ages.
Plan now to set aside time to slow down, take a deep breath, step aside from work and worries and experience God in this season of Sabbath. Join us as we listen again to God's story, share our stories in worship together, and put our faith into practice on Wednesdays.

Nasus Build Guide by ChibodeeCrocket
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my Nasus Build
The main reason im posting this is for my friends who like to play Nasus but never end up dominating. 9 out of 10 times I crush my lane and it all goes down hill from there for my enemies. The feel of charging down a lane at a speed almost none can match a large imposing force watching enemies flee from you. Here's my build for Nasus please Enjoy, and Please Vote!
Come on people!!!! 5000 views but only 5 votes :/
Nasus is my all time favorite champion, I fall back on him a lot as he fits into almost any team composition. He is a great tank extremely durable and has built in life steal. I prefer to solo top lane as Nasus needs tons of farm for his Siphoning Strike (Q) Any time you can finish off a mob with Q as every kill you get with it increases its power by 3 dmg.
Edit- Date 1/12/12
Reworked masteries tree and runes to reflect more Cooldown reduction resulting in a more powerful Siphoning strike faster.
Also added some color to the guide
Getting to know how to play him.
You will find that you are extremely durable and can take a great deal of punishment from almost any champion. You are not un-killable but you can become almost unstoppable.
in a 1v1 fight you are capable of killing most champions. However you should watch out for champion that will want to kite you which is you number 1 weakness.
You only ability to harm players from a distance is your Spirit Fire which doesn't do much dmg. Luckily you are a very fast champion and capable of chasing down most champions especially with wither. If you find you are getting kited hard let the enemy push you to your tower and use spirit fire if necessary to avoid letting your tower take dmg.
Although your goal should be to finish off everything with Q. At any time your siphoning strike is available you should be finishing of a unit with it. This is extremely important as it is your only form of damage and takes time and effort to make it something your enemies will learn to fear. When a fight happens mark a target with wither throw up a Spirit Fire to reduce there armor and strike them down with Q stay on top of your targets and don't let them get away.
Items and Why to get them
Total Item Cost: 15510 Gold
As for the choice of items starting off with a
Regrowth Pendant makes you even more durable by helping you recover health faster, and builds into your second item.
Philosopher's Stone Philosopher's Stone - Will help take care of your mana problems. as well as providing heath regeneration and bonus gold over time. both Wither and Spirit Fire are extremely mana demanding which is 1 reason why you should not be using spirit fire to farm and should only be using Q to kill enemies. It is acceptable to throw up a spirit fire if you have an opportunity to hurt the enemy tower to quickly clear out enemy mobs. You can also use it if necessary to defend your tower. The following items after those starting items are as follow.
Heart of Gold - Helps to bring in even more money but gives you extra health and builds into your Randuin's Omen which is a great defense item.
Boots of Speed - Because you cant be slow.
Sheen - is a MUST have not question about it you will do no DMG without it GET SHEEN GET IT GET IT!
Trinity Force - An all around great item helps you in every way possible and sheen builds into it. I prefer getting sheen then phage and then finishing the Trinity Force.
Shurelya's Reverie Shurelya's Reverie - Is an item you can decide to do away with and replace with a number of other items. The health regeneration, bonus health, mana regeneration, and cool down reduction are the reasons its included as well as the fact that you already have it half build thanks to Philosopher's stone.
Force of Nature- is an item which help makes you faster and gives you magic resist as well as making you regen health faster.
Atma's Impaler - helps you do more damaged based off from the amount of health you have (around 60 more attack at level 18), it also gives you 45 more armor which is always a good thing. Very potent if you have a Warmog's Armor this Item can be switched out if you so choose but I think it is a great finishing item. Also you most likely wont have the chance to get it as most games end before this point.
Most of these items can be replaced, And should be replaced depending on what you enemy team is. If your enemies are tons of AD forget the Force of nature pick up a Thornmail and possibly toss out the Shurelya's Reverie for a Warmogs armor. If the enemies are going lots of AP weight on the Randuin's Omen or toss it out and get the force of nature faster. Its all about countering your enemies.
Optional Items
Make the best use of items based off from what you are facing. Here are some good choices and reasons you could get them.
Warmog's Armor - If you find that you just don't have enough health this item will be very useful bringing you total health to around 4100 Hit points at level 18 making you a very sturdy unit.
Thornmail - If your enemies are fielding lots of AD (Attack Damage) Champions than this item may become invaluable. Nothing is more hilarious then watching someone kill themselves on you. This Item pairs up very nicely with Warmog's Armor.
Force of Nature - Yes this item is in the build already however I am placing it here just to suggest getting it before your Randuin's Omen if you are heaving trouble from AP (Ability Power) Champions.
Frozen Heart - This item is a very good choice for Nasus. Infact you may consider tossing the Shurelya's Reverie for it instead. Or swapping out the Randuin's Omen for it. This item give you a lot of armor, as well as mana and cool down reduction which can help you get your Siphoning Strike stronger that much faster. This item also comes with a bonus of slowing down enemies attack speed.
Ninja Tabi - This item can be used in place of your Mercury Treads if you so please. I almost always find hey tenacity provided by the Mercury Treads along with the magic resist more useful, but just incase your enemies are going very Auto attack, Attack Damage heavy this item can be considered.
Infinity Edge - This item can be swapped in place of your atmas impaler. It is a great choice and will bring your attack up a lot, but most importantly you critical strikes combined with your sheen and Siphoning Strike will make you enemies weep. Great item and I have honestly considered putting this in more often than atma's impaler.
Show your Moves!
Siphoning Strike
(Active): Nasus's next attack will deal additional damage. Siphoning Strike permanently gains 3 stacked damage whenever it kills an enemy champion, minion or neutral monster.
-This is your bread and butter move. All your damage is dependent on this. Make sure you never miss a chance to kill an enemy with this. I stress this a lot in this guide.
(Active): Nasus ages his target, slowing their movement and attack speed by 35%. Additionally, they are reduced further to reach an extra slow at the end of 5 seconds. If the duration of the slow is reduced, the extra slow will be applied faster for it to reach its maximum at the end of the duration.
- Great move for slowing down targets for you and or your team to kill. Also comes in very useful for slowing down the attack speed of people. Takes a good bit of mana to cast so try to to use it wisely. Can also be useful if you are tower dived. Casting this will slow the target down making them take more tower shots than they may have intended on.
Spirit Fire
(Active): Nasus unleashes a spirit flame at a location for 5 seconds. Enemies caught in the area are dealt a burst of magic damage. Additionally, enemies in the area are dealt magic damage each second and have their armor reduced while on there and for 1 extra second.
-This move comes in very handy in many situations. If you need to quickly clean up a mob wave to push a tower cast it. Try not to forget though that you should be last hitting everything with Siphoning Strike. The main use of this ability is to reduce the armor of enemies. casting this in a team fight can really change the outcome. Costs a lot of mana to cast so don't run yourself dry farming mobs with it. FARM THE Q!!!!
Fury of the Sand
(Active): Nasus becomes empowered in the sandstorm for 15 seconds, gaining extra health. While the storm rages, he drains a percentage of nearby enemies max health each second (max of 240 magic damage per second per enemy) and converts 6.375% of the damage done into bonus attack damage for himself until the sandstorm wears off.
- You become a god! this move is amazing. When that big engagement happens become a god and make your enemies weep. Also if need be you can cast this to save your life if you are going to die from a few moves. examples are caitlyn has her ultimate locked on to you, casting your ultimate heals you for some health which may be enough to keep you alive. Other examples are you getting tower dived. They will be sorry when you instantly gain 600 hp and become a monster.
Early-Mid-Late Game
Early game is all about farming mobs with your Q and making sure to last hit mobs for money. you can take towers very fast with siphoning strike but your main goal is to just farm your Q. Thats it FARM Q.
Mid game is all about Farming Q pushing lanes crushing towers supporting allies when you can. that why I bring teleport. Warping to an ally in need withering the enemy throwing up a spirit fire and crushing them with Q can take out almost any one.
Late game- This is where you really shine. You will run around faster than almost everyone else and will hardly be scratched by your enemies crushing towers killing enemies and pushing lanes. When team fights happen slam that ultimate and get into the middle of that fight. You are a God your enemies will die and you won't.
About me
I am working on this guide and hope to make it very clear and well done to make anyone a good Nasus. This is my first guide so please try to cut me some slack. I am updating this guide whenever I get a chance!

Sorry ladies it wad a BFN yesterday and in my early morning half awake state at 3.30 this morning I forgot to test and in all honesty, (sorry to be a downer,) but I really don't feel like testing.. I know I'm only 4 months in but seeing only one line really really sucks, I don't know how people who have been TTCing for years can do it every month!! They are a lot stronger than I am..
I'm not holding my breath, the only symptoms are still being hungry, and now getting bloated when I eat.. No boobs, no nausea nothing..
Hopefully tomorrow will bring some answers as AF hasn't shown and the cramping I had was 3 days ago!! Maybe it was good cramping??
How are all my lovely UTD ladies traveling along?? Please don't feel because I'm sad I'm not getting BFP's means I don't want to hear all about you guys and your little beans, as I know I will be right there with you soon enough!!!

Nic, you're an inspiration! Your positivity is amazing I still think the bloating is a really good sign, but only time will tell. Can't wait to hear the outcome either way.
9 Weeks 1 day : My "morning" sickness is horrendous its here when I wake up and its here when I go to sleep. In fact, I often wake up in the middle of the night needing to have a good spew. Fortunately I've only actually vomited a couple of times, but feeling nauseous really takes it's toll. The exhaustion seems to be easing up a tiny bit, but I'm on night shift at the moment and have found myself needing a few naps throughout the night which I don't normally need. I have just finished my last night shift for a while though as they took me straight off the night shift roster when they found out.
We had the dating scan the other day and everything was perfect! He/She had a nice, solid heart beat which was just amazing to see. It feels real now.
I've got the midwives at work already primping me for the perfect delivery lol they're giving me all sort of tips which I really appreciate! They're also letting me have lots of cuddles with the newborns
Can't wait for you to join us Nic!

Hey lovely ladies,
Big hugs nic! But your not out yet!
Pb! That would have been amazing! Ms is total poooooooooooo! Thats great they took you off night shift! So much better cause you ned to try get all the sleep you can!
Edi I'm glad the acupuncture is working, and it could very well be implantation bleeding! When I went back through my day tracker I reported a light smear that I forgot about, that was my implantation bleed!
Zoo how did you go at the christmas party? One of the girls at dh xmas party worked it out when I turned down a drink-i didn't think to pretend!
Bl how did your appointment go? Has your tummy settled a little?
Marttc I can't wait to hear how your appointment goes in the new year! So exiting!
Afm I wake up every morning at 5am to gag for about 30 minutes and then cannot go back to sleep which sucks! I've only actually thrown up a couple times but I'm constantly gagging-like all the time! We had dinner with dh cousin and wife and as soon as I put my fork down I had to calmly "walk"as fast as I could out of there- we stol haven't told any one. Well except for the work nature that guessed, my best friend, my boss and the lady at my work that guessed. I have am appointment tomorrow with fs and I'm not going to lie I'm scared. I just want to know there is a heart beat and it's not ectopic! I will be 5 weeks and 3 days...
Fighting for control over who's right... Predictive text or me!

160. Beautiful Eyes Must Be Protected From Sunlight…
160. Beautiful Eyes Must Be Protected From Sunlight…
I receive so many compliments every day from my fans and admirers for the beauty of my sunglasses.
Marcolin is the largest and most important company in the production and distribution of Roberto Cavalli Eyewear. I dedicate a lot of time to studying our collections with the Marcolin designers and technicians. I am very satisfied with my day, tired but happy to have found new ideas, new shapes and new materials!
Marcolin's creative director, Marco Galleani, had brought me some sunglasses as a surprise and as a birthday present. He knows my preferences for shape and color. We spent the first half hour of our meeting trying on the glasses and commenting upon them. The sunglasses are part of my look and I cannot help but wear them day and night!We spend several hours analyzing all the prototypes for our next collection… changing shapes and materials… a tour de force… tiring but satisfying. Eva and Rachele help me in making decisions and choices, as well as occasionally acting as my Models!
Many new shapes, cat… rounded… drop… with rhinestones… inlaid with leather… turtle… glasses for everyone!
We thought of the different fashion trends and needs of the various countries of the world whose people love my style!
I hope to have found an eyewear shape that is so special for you that you will love me for it!
Un bacino grande.

Japanese PM shifts focus to economy following divisive security bills
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe retained close allies in key posts in a cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday, playing it safe as he pivots back to the economy after enacting divisive security legislation that dented his popularity.
In a symbol of that promised refocus, Abe picked Katsunobu Kato, a deputy chief cabinet secretary, for a new post in charge of a fresh goal to build a "society in which all 100 million people can be active."
Kato is tasked with coordinating policies to try to raise the low fertility rate, reform the creaking social security system and boost growth, targets central to a platform Abe hopes will woo voters ahead of an upper house election next July.
The new slogan, Abe aides say, is meant to show that all Japanese will be included in economic growth. Some critics, though, have said it echoes wartime propaganda.
"This cabinet aims to tackle challenges for the future – to put the brakes on the ageing of the population to keep the population from falling below 100 million and create a society where anyone – old and young, women and men, and those suffering from incurable diseases and the handicapped – can take one more step forward," Abe told a news conference.
Abe added that he had instructed Kato to set up a new policy body to craft a first round of steps by the end of the year. Nine of the 19 cabinet members kept their portfolios, including Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, Finance Minister Taro Aso, Economics Minister Akira Amari, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.
Abe's attempt to boost his ratings with a broad cabinet makeover, including five women, backfired in September 2014 when two ministers quickly resigned over scandals.
This time, he opted for stability at the core, but leavened the lineup with 10 new appointees. Among them was maverick lawmaker Taro Kono, a frequent government critic, who was appointed minister for administrative reform, a position similar to that he held in Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
Hiroshi Hase, a former teacher and professional wrestler, replaced Hakubun Shimomura as education minister.
Shimomura had said he would stand down over missteps that forced the scrapping of plans for a new national stadium as the centerpiece of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Koichi Hagiuda, an LDP aide to Abe, replaces Kato as a deputy chief cabinet secretary. Hagiuda, 48, has caused headaches for Abe's government with outspoken comments on Japan's wartime past.

The pneuma of anything is the thing as it is while numina are the processes that play out and involve many possible things. Pneuma is individual, while numina tends to be sort of synergistic.
Numina as processes are all characterized by a co-arising. They are a manifestation of reality as a body politic. It's sort of like reality is a democracy. You interact with it every time you take intentional actions, and every time you don't choose to act intentionally and instead react in a knee jerk sort of way. Numina is ripples in a pond, but everything is listening to you. Your car, your clothes, your computer, your plumbing and house plants, and each time they have their own way of making a subtle statement providing some feedback about your personal state of being.
"Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself." Robert F. Bennett
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death." Anais Nin (French born American Author, 1903-1977)

Purchasing B2B data isn't rocket science. There are common areas that can be learned quickly, and vendors can help with less common queries. However, once you expand your requirements beyond your country, you might be surprised at how complex buying can become. These 10 commonly overlooked areas require careful consideration, or your data purchase decisions could cause the failure of an otherwise fantastic campaign.
1) Turnaround times vary, greatly!
In Western markets, 24 – 48 hours turnaround time for counts is the norm. Other markets respond slower. Far Eastern vendors, for example, can take 5-10 days to return a count. Work this into your timelines.
2) Adhere to local data legislation.
Be careful to adhere to local law and best practice, and ensure your data suppliers follow regulations too. In Germany, double opt-in rules mean there is no such thing as a cold email. Conversely, the UK operates opt-out for B2B, so you can have a broader reach with email campaigns. This is not just important from a data perspective – there is no point creating a fantastic campaign if it cannot be deployed.
3) No database is perfect.
Some databases are fresher than others, but none are 100% accurate. Business data decays rapidly (Watch this video to see how rapidly!), so you need to know local benchmarks and the vendors' guarantees. That way you can expect certain inaccuracies, order over-supply when necessary and identify if the quality of the data you purchased is genuinely unsatisfactory.
4) Language.
Can non-English data be handled accordingly? Can your systems cope with special characters found within many European languages such as German or Spanish? What about double byte characters from Russia and the Far East?
5) Variation of variables – do they meet your needs?
Not all vendors collect, manage and store data consistently. Variables like employee size and turnover can be banded or actual, and the latter could be local currency or US Dollars. Check how vendors report these variables early in the planning process.
6) NACE vs. SIC vs. NAICS – ensure consistency of selection.
There are different ways an organization's industry can be categorized. In Europe, a NACE code is used whereas in the USA, US SIC codes or NAICS is used. While there are similarities between all systems, there are also subtle differences. Aim for consistent use of industry codes, especially when using multiple vendors.
7) Put data volumes into context.
If you listen to vendors' claims, then every database is the biggest and best on the market. But don't worry, a bit of common sense will ensure you obtain genuine datasets. If the vendor claims they have 40m businesses in the USA, then it's probably not true. Why? Research shows there are only 20m businesses, so the 40m figure is more likely to be contact volume, not sites.
8) Lack of data quality standards.
In the UK, we have an established association, The DMA, who produce guidelines and member Codes of Practice on acceptable data quality benchmarks. However, in some developed markets – including North America – there are no comparable benchmarks and vendors set their own standards. Don't make any assumptions; ask suppliers what their guarantees are and why. Ask probing questions about their data collection methods and quality processes.
9) Know the cost and usage terms.
How do you want to be billed, €, £ or $? If it's different to the vendor currency, ensure you work in the correct exchange rates and include caveats allowing for fluctuations. How do you access the data? Annual subscription licences vs. per record purchase? Must data be downloaded from a portal or can it be transferred by SFTP?
10) Data formats vary.
With 180 + countries globally and many of them having individual address standards, there are different ways to represent an address. Communicate to the vendor exactly what you need for the campaign. Taking international phone numbers as an example, should country code be a separate field? Does the number need leading zeroes?
Buying data can be complex, particularly for international campaigns in markets where you are unfamiliar. The 10 areas above are the tip of the iceberg. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the above, or need guidance on how to apply these tips to your marketing programs.

Safety Coach
Vehicle safety features are really important. Many of us tend to look at technology – and advanced driver assistance systems – with a bit of nervous trepidation. There is a learning curve that comes with all new gadgets. And what if you can't remember what safety features are on your car or truck?
Typically, when you buy a vehicle, the salesperson will walk you through all the features and demonstrate how they work. All well and good, right? What happens a day or two later when you don't remember what you learned?
I can tell you my car has many features that I have not fully explored yet. In fact, I will tell on myself.

Texas' Electricity Island
May 7, 2001
Unlike California and New York, Texas has an abundance of electric power. One reason, experts say, is that Texans have long maintained a healthy skepticism toward federal regulation -- and have acted accordingly. By confining their power grid to Texas, state utilities avoided oversight by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
As a result, FERC couldn't force Texas to send power out of state in case of an emergency. The state's major utilities went to great lengths to ensure there were no interstate connections.
- Texas' excess electricity production is nearly enough to power New York City; and by summer of next year the excess may be close to 15,000 megawatts -- enough to power 15 million homes.
- Texas has 27 new generating plants under construction -- more than any other state.
- Because the state's low rates and excess power allow it to attract industries, officials are in no hurry to build transmission lines to send energy to other states -- which would take at least three years and cost Texas ratepayers about $600 million.
Another factor which has set Texas apart from energy-hungry states is its business-friendly approach to deregulation.
- Unlike California, with its stringent emissions and zoning rules, Texas has made it quick and easy for power companies to locate their plants almost anywhere they can find a place to hook up to the grid.
- Last year, Texas completed a major upgrade to alleviate bottlenecks on the grid and it has six similar projects underway.
- Whereas California largely failed to bring new plants online even though power demand was growing, Texas began building plants in 1998.
- Since then, $11 billion worth of power plants have been completed or started -- and more are on the drawing board.

Christian Formation
Some recommended resources:
Welcome to Christ. A series of three booklets and a video published by Augsburg Fortress in 1997 designed to help congregations who are welcoming adults returning to the practice of faith as well as the unbaptized. It can also be used by members who want to renew their commitment to Christ. Together they set forth an apprenticeship in faith model used by the early church called the catechumenate. The booklets include: A Lutheran Introduction to the Catechumenate, A Lutheran Catechetical Guide, a Sponsor's Guide, and Lutheran Rites for the Catechumenate. It includes a definition and overview of the process, the role and qualities of the catechist and catechumenal team, appropriate methods, resources, blessings and prayers that can be incorporated into the services of the church in order to integrate the process with worship and discipleship. (It is no longer available from the publisher, but one can look online or ask around).

ZTE Nubia Z7 smartphone : 16MP and 1440p@60fps recording on a 6.3" 2560x1440 display !
Samsung Electronics may be looking to blur the lines between a phone and tablet even further.
The Korean electronics giant is working on a bigger, 6.3-inch display for the eventual Galaxy Note 3, according to the Korea Times.
Samsung has announced a new system-on-chip processor for high-end smartphones and tablets, the Exynos 5 Octa, which could be due to appear in the upcoming Galaxy Note 3.
The successor to Samsung's popular Galaxy Note 2 'phablet,' earlier rumours had suggested that the device is likely to launch with a large 6.5in Full HD AMOLED display complete with both multi-touch and stylus-based input, a common theme of the Galaxy Note family that helps distinguish the half-phone half-tablet devices from the rest of Samsung's Galaxy line. Thus far, however, no hints had been given about the specifications of the device.
That changed when Samsung announced to the world the launch of the Exynos 5 Octa, a new processor for smartphones and tablets which packs eight processing cores into the space where only four were previously available. Designed as a replacement for the Eyxnos 4 Quad chip powering the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 2 devices, and an upgrade to the Exynos 5 Dual found in the Samsung-manufactured but Google-branded Nexus 10 tablet, the Exynos 5 Octa promises significant gains in performance and power usage.
Designed around a concept from British chip giant ARM dubbed big.LITTLE, the Exynos 5 Octa combines a quad-core next-generation 28nm 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A15 processor - an upgrade to the 1.6GHz Cortex-A9 chip found in the Galaxy S3 and the 1.7GHz dual-core Cortex-A15 chip in the Nexus 10 - with a secondary quad-core Cortex-A9 processor running at 1.2GHz. The idea, Samsung explains, is that when the phone or tablet is doing lightweight work - playing music, making a call, browsing the internet - the more powerful Cortex-A15 cores can be completely disabled and the Cortex-A9 cores used instead. The result, Samsung claims, is an improvement in power efficiency of around 70 per cent compared to the Exynos 4 Quad in the Galaxy S3.
For more demanding applications - 3D gaming, for example - the high-speed Cortex-A15 cores can spin up fully, while the Cortex-A9 cores can work on background tasks like managing the modem in a phone or handling notifications on a tablet.
It's not the first time such low-power secondary cores have been used: Nvidia's Tegra 3 and recently-launched Tegra 4 chips feature a fifth companion core alongside four high-performance cores, but Samsung's eight-core design goes significantly further.
Samsung has yet to confirm which devices will get the Exynos 5 Octa - but with the Eyxnos 4 Quad appearing in the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, it seems more than likely that the Octa will launch in the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3.

I drive a 1991 Toyota Corolla LX with 193K miles and NO I haven't had any acceleration problems yet. My problem is that after 15 mins or so of driving around, the Oil Pressure light comes on but only when idling. Such conditions include - When waiting at a traffic light - A little before coming to stop at a traffic light when I have released the gas pedal. Is this serious enough for me to stop driving the car ? I took it to a repair shop and they said it will cost me $40 to do an oil pressure check, which I have postponed for the moment. Help please ?
Oh. Also about the above problem. after the oil pressure light comes on, it goes away as soon as I accelerate just a little bit. This works even if I am on Neutral and stationary.
Did I mention I am a student, and $50 means I need to work around my budget !
With this many miles, I would get it tested. If you are very lucky, the problem is a bad sensor, but this is unlikely. Your symptoms suggest worn out main and rod bearings. This can sometimes be cured with a new set of standard bearings, but only if the wear is almost all on the bearings, and not on the crank journals. Otherwise you are looking a having tghe crank turned and new bearings at a minimum. Get the oil pressure test done, but expect them to have to pull the pan and test the bearings for excessive wear. You can keep driving it, but it wont get better by itself, it will only get worse.
First check your dipstick. Is there enough oil and how does it look? How does it feel? If the oil is diluted with gasoline don't re-start it until the oil is changed.
Ignoramous posted an excellent description. I agree with his postulate.
Since you're on a very tight budget, let me suggest an oil pressure check gage (kit) at the parts store, along with a Haynes repair manual. This is an easy test, it'll be clearly described in the Haynes manual and in the test gage instructions, and it'll save you money over going to a shop. It'll also get you started in doing your own maintenance, which will save you tons of cash.
If Ignoramous is right, and I'll bet he is, that'll mean the engine is just basically worn out. I personally would be reluctant to spend money rebuilding it for a Corolla that age. You can try some higher weight oil, like going from a 10W30 to perhaps a 20W40, it might help, might not. Some recommend against this due to concerns with the top end (valvetrain) lubrication, but on an engine this worn I don't see that as a major concern.
Any noise accompanying this flashing light? How's the consumption. We often construct a dinosaur's head from a pig's tooth here, so let's really get the picture a bit more into focus before writing this off.
I already know you're not going to do any internal engine work. You'll find another beater.
If you want the cheapest approach, grab heavier oil. NO - IT'S NOT THE PREFERRED WAY TO NAIL THIS DOWN, but given the immutable physics of your wallet, outside of a bad sender, you're screwed anyway.
If you use a 30 weight, go to a 40 weight. Escalate as needed.
You're in tactical mode. No strategy allowed. Good luck.
This just means that with 193000 miles tour bearings are worn and at idle the oil flows through them too quickly to maintain enough pressure to keep the light off. As long as the light goes off when you step on the gas you have nothing to worry about, you probably have many more miles in this engine. I wouldn't however try any top speed runs.
An oil pressure test should be checks of the oil pressure at idle, at 1,000 rpm, at 2,000 rpm, and at 3,000 rpm. YOU could do these checks with a $15 oil pressure test gauge. If the oil pressure is OK at rpms above idle, it shows that the oil pump is up to the task; though, the engine may be rather worn. If it is OK at the higher rpms, you can nurse some more time out of the engine.
You could buy one of these, change it out, and hope for the best if you don't want to have an oil pressure test done. This is an easy cheap swap.
If the light still flashes on after this then the crankshaft bearings are probably worn out and this means a new engine. As a stop gap measure increase the viscosity of the engine oil; meaning a heavier weight oil.
The Auto Zone Web site (of the above link) states that they don't have the oil pressure switch. Their isn't a photo, either. Try another store.
Wow! Thanks for the super fast and extremely helpful response. So, I am getting a bad feeling about this whole thing now. Anyway, just to clarify geeaea's question - No there is no other noise accompanying this light coming on or going off. So far as I can tell there is nothing different about the operation of the car (gas consumption, acceleration, etc.)I spoke to the repair guy again and he said something similar. He said he wants to do the oil-pressure check to figure out if it is just because of a bad sensor switch or the engine wearing out.The way I understand this now is I have two options,1.) Get the oil pressure check done, and hope it is just a bad sensor.2.) Get the oil pressure check done, and if it involves a worn out engine...then upgrade to a higher viscosity oil and hope that the engine won't quit on me.
Anyway, I use this car for getting around town and going to school. That is about approx 20 miles of driving in the day. I usually go to New Jersey from Ohio (~500 miles) twice a year, but I guess I can't take my trusted car anymore...(sigh!)
I have had this problem for the last 2 months or so. I have been going out of town fairly often (no I didn't drive this out of town), so didn't get the time to get this done. Also, I waited to save a little money to absorb part of the financial impact.
Anyway, To reply to Rod Knox - I actually took this in for an oil change and asked the mechanic to look at this problem. I also asked about the oil. He said he looked and the oil was fine. It wasn't low or anything.
This is NOT something to get obsessive about..Have your oil changed and use 10/40. That should improve things.If that light still flickers, add a can of STP..
As a rule, you need 10 PSI oil pressure for every 1000 engine RPM. A new "oil pressure sending switch" might improve things also..About $10..
The OP doesn't even have to use a Toyota oil pressure switch as most open at around the same pressure; usually under 5 PSI. Heck, try a Chevy or Ford switch.An idiot light switch from any vehicle will work seeing as how most of them use the same standard thread; with the switches for the oil pressure gauge equipped, not light, models usually being larger.
I am having the same issue with my '98 Chevy Malibu, with one possibly significant difference. This happened later the same day (yesterday) that I had an oil change - also occurs only at idle speed, goes off with acceleration, and returns at idle. Checked the oil level once the engine cooled (half hour), thinking perhaps there was a leak or some such. It appears to me that too much oil was added, as it is a bit above the fill line, though garage guy says no. 4.5qts of 5w30.
Is this a coincidence that this happened within hours of an oil change. If I am right...could too much oil cause the sensor to kick on? And is driving this, my all time favorite car, with possibly too much oil do further damage?

Example Limiting Reactant Calculation:A 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen. Which is the limiting reactant and how much excess reactant remains after the reaction has stopped? How much nitrogen monoxide will be produced in this reaction? 1. First, we need to create a balanced equation for the reaction:4 NH3 + 5 O2 →4 NO + 6 H2O2. Next we can use stoichiometry to calculate how much of one of the reactants will be used in the reaction. Do this by choosing one of the givens and solving for the other reactant. NOTE: It does not matter which reactant you start with. 2.00 g NH3 1 mol NH3 5 mol O2 32.0 g O2 = 4.71 g O2 are needed for this reaction 17.0 g NH3 4 mol NH3 1 mol O2 Because we only have 4.00 g of oxygen but we need 4.71 g oxygen, we know that oxygen is limiting this reaction. Oxygen is the limiting reactant. 3. Next we can calculate how much product will be formed. Use stoichiometry to calculate how much product will be formed starting with the limiting reactant as your given. The limiting reactant controls how much product can be formed. 4.00 g O2 1 mol O2 4 mol NO 30.0 g NO = 3.00 g NO will be formed 32.0 g O2 5 mol O2 1 mol NO 4. Finally, to find the amount of excess reactant, we must calculate how much of the excess reactant (NH3) actually reacted with the limiting reactant (oxygen). 4.00 g O2 1 mol O2 4 mol NH3 17.0 g NH3 = 1.70 g NH3 32.0 g O2 5 mol O2 1 mol NH3We're not finished yet though. 1.70 g is the amount of ammonia that reacted, not what is left over. To find the amount of excess reactant remaining, subtract the amount that reacted from the amount in the original sample. Started with used up have left excess NH3 = 0.30 g 2.00 g NH3 - 1.70 g NH3 = 0.30 g NH3

[This article has nothing to do with .NET and/or programming]
Here's a brief guide that describes how I record and cut DVB (digital video broadcasting) recordings.
I use the DVBViewer VideoRecorder plugin for recording. While most settings can be left as they are, I change two settings: first, I always record to the TS format (transport stream) . Second, I enable "+ Additional Audio" under the Channels tab.
After I've recorded a bunch of programs I demux them using ProjectX.
Before you demux for the first time you'd want to check some settings. For general preferences use the PreSettings menu. To configure the demux process for the first time select "prepare >>" in the main window. Be sure "demux" is selected and enable "Process all collections" in the "Edit" menu.
To demux a single file, use the + button in the main window (blue rectangle in the image above) and browse for that file. After it has been added use "QuickStart" to start demuxing.
To demux multiple files in a batch you need to put each file in a separate file collection. If you add multiple files into the same collection (using the + button in the blue rectangle) all files will be joined during demuxing. Instead, for each file to demux use the + button in the red rectangle to create a new collection, add a file using the "blue" + button.
Demuxing a DVB-T recording of several GB size takes some time of course. This is why I prefer to demux several files at once. I can start the demuxing process and can leave the computer alone for an hour or so.
Now that we have our demuxed files we can cut them (trim start and end, cut commercials etc.). Using Cuttermaran this is fairly easy. For each part in the recording you want to keep use the In and Out buttons to define the start and end frame and use the + button to add this part to the cut list.
If you've defined all entries in the cut list, don't start physical yet! Just save the project to disk and continue with the next recording you need to cut.
After you've saved Cuttermaran project files for all recordings use Batch Cuttermaran to process the cutting physically. This again takes some time which is why we want to do it in an unattended batch process.
Note: Cuttermaran uses elementary streams as input and ouput. If you want to multiplex the streams back to e.g. an mpeg file, you can define this in the Cuttermaran settings:
When Batch Cuttermaran executes the project files the settings made in Cuttermaran come into effect, which means that either all or none of the projects will be muxed during batch processing. Personally I prefer to mux the files to MPEG and delete the elementary streams as I watch the recordings on my Computer. If you want to create a real DVD you'll probably don't want to mux the streams but use tools like GUI for dvdauthor or dvdauthorgui for further DVD authoring. Having the streams muxed to MPEG is no problem however as they can be easily demuxed if you need to.

I've been trying to create a simple and lightweight wrapper around List<T> and List<T>.Enumerator. The only thing I needed was the ability to enumerate over the items of the list. The list is supposed to be enumerated very(!) often, so I wanted the enumerator to be struct instead of a class. Using a value type enumerator avoids any heap allocation during enumerator. List<T>.Enumerator is a value type just because of the same reason.
So here's my first approach:
1: /// <summary>
2: /// A wrapper around an <see cref="List{T}"/> that only allows enumeration.
3: /// </summary>
4: public struct ReadOnlyList<T> {
5: private readonly List<T> items;
7: /// <summary>
8: /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="ReadOnlyList{T}"/> struct.
9: /// </summary>
10: /// <param name="list">The list.</param>
11: public ReadOnlyList(List<T> list) {
12: items = list;
13: }
15: /// <summary>
16: /// Gets the enumerator.
17: /// </summary>
18: /// <returns></returns>
19: public Enumerator GetEnumerator() {
20: return new Enumerator(items);
21: }
23: #region Nested type: Enumerator
24: /// <summary>
25: /// A light weight enumerator for <see cref="ReadOnlyList{T}"/>
26: /// </summary>
27: public struct Enumerator {
28: private readonly List<T>.Enumerator enumerator;
30: /// <summary>
31: /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="ReadOnlyList<T>.Enumerator"/> struct.
32: /// </summary>
33: /// <param name="items">The items.</param>
34: public Enumerator(List<T> items) {
35: enumerator = items.GetEnumerator();
36: }
38: /// <summary>
39: /// Gets the current item.
40: /// </summary>
41: /// <value>The current item.</value>
42: public T Current {
43: get { return enumerator.Current; }
44: }
46: /// <summary>
47: /// Moves to the next element in the enumeration.
48: /// </summary>
49: /// <returns></returns>
50: public bool MoveNext() {
51: return enumerator.MoveNext();
52: }
53: }
54: #endregion
55: }
This looks perfectly reasonable if you ask me. Here's a unit test to check that the enumerator works:
1: [Test]
2: public void Enumerator_CanEnumerateList() {
3: var list = new List<int> {0, 1, 2, 3};
4: var enumerator = new ReadOnlyList<int>.Enumerator(list);
5: var expected = 0;
6: while(enumerator.MoveNext()) {
7: Assert.AreEqual(expected, enumerator.Current);
8: expected++;
9: }
10: Assert.AreEqual(list.Count, expected);
11: }
The test should pass, right? After all the Enumerator struct is a mere wrapper aroung List<T>.Enumerator. Funny thing is: it fails! Do you see why? As a hint, here's what fails: the second time the loop runs enumerator.Current is 0 although enumerator.MoveNext() has returned true. But why? It has taken me quite a while to find the reason.
Of course, first thing I did was to debug the code. List<T>.Enumerator.MoveNext() looks something like this:
1: public bool MoveNext() {
2: List<T> list = this.list;
3: if ((this.version == list._version) && (this.index < list._size)) {
4: this.current = list._items[this.index];
5: this.index++;
6: return true;
7: }
8: return this.MoveNextRare();
9: }
MoveNextRare() is not important here, but what is important is that when the method returns true, index should have been increased. However, according to the debugger, the value of enumerator.enumerator.index doesn't change after the call to MoveNext(), although it returned true. Weird, huh? Somehow the fields did not get updated.
So I dug deep into the code. I opened ReadOnlyList<T>.Enumerator.MoveNext() in Reflector and here's what I got:
1: .method public hidebysig instance bool MoveNext() cil managed
2: {
3: .maxstack 1
4: .locals init (
5: [0] valuetype [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1/Enumerator<!T> CS$0$0000)
6: L_0000: ldarg.0
7: L_0001: ldfld valuetype [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1/Enumerator<!0> Moonbow.Util.ReadOnlyList`1/Enumerator<!T>::enumerator
8: L_0006: stloc.0
9: L_0007: ldloca.s CS$0$0000
10: L_0009: call instance bool [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1/Enumerator<!T>::MoveNext()
11: L_000e: ret
12: }
Now it became clear that my MoveNext() method created a local copy of the enumerator field and called MoveNext on the copy. This of course meant that the original fields of the List<T>.Enumerator wouldn't get updated. And now you might see where my mistake was? Right: ReadOnlyList<T>.Enumerator.enumerator is marked as readonly! My idea was that the enumerator object will not be reassigned in any method of my Enumerator, so I could as well make the field readonly. After removing the readonly modifier the IL of my MoveNext() method was much more like I expected:
3: .maxstack 8
4: L_0000: ldarg.0
5: L_0001: ldflda valuetype [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1/Enumerator<!0> Moonbow.Util.ReadOnlyList`1/Enumerator<!T>::enumerator
6: L_0006: call instance bool [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1/Enumerator<!T>::MoveNext()
7: L_000b: ret
8: }
Here's the moral of the story:
If you declare a value type field as readonly, every call made to this field is actually made to a local copy. Any changes made in those calls are not stored in the readonly field. This is different from reference type fields where calls will be made on the field itself, potentially causing changes in the referenced object.
If this has been obvious for you: kudos, I didn't know that. Rreadonly fields are "really" readonly for value types, it means more than prohibiting assignments to the field. I did not find a word about that in the specification. The MSDN only mentions that assignments to readonly fields are only allowed in the declartion or in the constructor:
The readonly keyword is a modifier that you can use on fields. When a field declaration includes a readonly modifier, assignments to the fields introduced by the declaration can only occur as part of the declaration or in a constructor in the same class.
The readonly keyword is a modifier that you can use on fields. When a field declaration includes a readonly modifier, assignments to the fields introduced by the declaration can only occur as part of the declaration or in a constructor in the same class.
There is however a bug report that deals with this issue. Is has been closed as "By Design", though. It references the part in the specs that defines this behaviour: it's in section 7.4.4, function member invocation, bullet list 2, item 2, subitem 2.
If E is not classified as a variable, then a temporary local variable of E's type is created and the value of E is assigned to that variable. E is then reclassified as a reference to that temporary local variable. The temporary variable is accessible as this within M, but not in any other way. Thus, only when E is a true variable is it possible for the caller to observe the changes that M makes to this.

By the way: it does not matter whether the type that declares the readonly value type fiels is a struct or a class by itself.

This morning I got an e-mail from Lutz Roeder, creator of the marvelous .NET Reflector in which he announces that he handed development of .NET Reflector over to Red Gate Software. Red Gate is known for their .NET profiler ANTS and has also acquired the PInvoke.net plugin (originally developed by PInvoke.net)some time ago.
What's probably important for many of us is that Red Gates promises to provide a free version of Reflector:
We will continue to maintain a free version for the benefit of the community.
We will continue to maintain a free version for the benefit of the community.
On the one hand this opens a big opportunity for the future of .NET Reflector. Red Gate is certainly capable of adding a lot of functionality to Reflector. On the other hand, I see the potential danger that Red Gate might neglect the development of a free community version in the course of time in favour of a commercial license.
I can totally understand Lutz when he says that after eight years of development he's striving for new objectives. And I can also understand that by handing Reflector over to Red Gate he can get the financial reward that he deserves. It would of course have been awesome if he made Reflector open source, but he chose not to, and I respect this choice. Let's just cross fingers that Red Gate decides to put as much effort into a free community version as in a commercial version.
To Lutz, all the best for future projects. Thanks for having made such a great piece of software.
To Red Gate, good luck with the further development of Reflector. You're in the responsibility of keeping the spirit of a great product alive.

On a Windows Server 2003 machine I needed sound to be enabled during remote desktop connections. Here's what I had to do to bring the sound to the client machine.
Note: you should only enable sound on the server if you have a good reason, e.g. I edit my DVB-T recordings on the server. Otherwise, leave audio off for stability and security reasons.

Do you the feeling when you know exactly what you mean, but you can't find a succinct way to express it? The guy that posted this classic piece of code to the forum surely does:
1: if (flag == false)
2: flag = true;
3: else if (flag == true)
4: flag = false;
Hint: flag = !flag
Sorry for not posting anything of greater importance. I'm rather tired :-)

In brief: Tamoxifen works better over 10 years
Thu., Dec. 6, 2012
Breast cancer patients taking the drug tamoxifen can cut their chances of having the disease come back or kill them if they stay on the pills for 10 years instead of five years as doctors recommend now, a major study finds.
The results could change treatment, especially for younger women. The findings are a surprise because earlier research suggested that taking the hormone-blocking drug for longer than five years didn't help and might even be harmful.
In the new study, researchers found that women who took tamoxifen for 10 years lowered their risk of a recurrence by 25 percent and of dying of breast cancer by 29 percent compared to those who took the pills for just five years.

Barack Black Eagle hosts tribal leaders
Washington – Barack Obama has done something that none of the previous 43 U.S. presidents ever did: He met with tribal leaders every single year of his term.
On Wednesday, the man known as Barack Black Eagle among American Indians met again with 566 leaders from federally recognized tribes from around the United States at his fourth White House Tribal Nations Conference.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called it a "promise made, promised delivered," recalling how Obama had pledged yearly visits with tribes when he first ran for president in 2008. That's the same year that Obama received his Indian name, after being adopted by Hartford and Mary Black Eagle in a traditional Native American ceremony on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana.
More promises came at the daylong conference as Obama and many of his Cabinet secretaries said tribes can expect more federal aid during the president's second term – for education, health care, jobs, food programs and energy projects, among other things.
But while tribal leaders applauded the president's efforts to reach out on a consistent basis, many said in interviews that they'll wait and see whether Obama can deliver during a time of budget cutting.

We provide trained, motivated, skilled zombie extermination professionals and zombie survival consultants. Our people and our training are the best in the industry.
When the zombie removal business is slow we focus our efforts towards educating ourselves and our community about the importance of disaster preparation. If you are prepared for zombies, you're prepared for anything.
To satisfy this goal we host disaster relief charity fundraisers, disaster preparation seminars and volunteer our time towards emergency response agencies.
Our goal is to educate the public about the importance of personal preparedness and self reliance, to increase its readiness to respond to disasters such as Earthquakes, Floods, Terrorism or Zombie Outbreaks. We want to make sure you are prepared for any crisis situation that might come along in your daily life which may include having your face eaten by the formerly deceased.
We are your local chapter of Zombie Squad, ZSC011 (Oregon). We have been chartered since 2009. We were part of ZSC005 (Pacific Northwest) but splintered off the state of Oregon a year after 005 was chartered. We have promoted disaster preparedness and suppressed zombie incursions at events like the Portland Zombie Prom.
Lately we have been supporting local charities like Lift UP, Meals on Wheels, and CAT. You can also find us volunteering for community service with NET and the Red Cross. On top of all that we do disaster prep seminars for HOAs, businesses, and other groups.
