Bishop Morlino: One of the most outspoken advocates for unborn among the U.S. Catholic hierarchy
By Kathleen Gilbert
MADISON, Wisconsin, June 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholics in the diocese of Madison, WI are hitting back at negative media coverage of their bishop after he welcomed priests with the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest, a group renowned for their traditionalist liturgy and fidelity to orthodox Catholic teaching. Supporters note that, contrary to the picture painted by dissenting voices in the media, Morlino's focus on orthodoxy is increasingly popular with Catholic youth – even in the liberal stronghold of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Madison Bishop Robert Morlino, one of the most outspoken advocates for the unborn among the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, has defended the priests against criticism that the move represented a "step backward" and that the priests' approach is, in the words of one parishioner, "quite different than we have become accustomed to." Morlino heard parishioners from St. Mary's Parish in Platteville at an occasionally-heated meeting on Monday.
Despite media coverage focusing on dissenting voices, many were eager to voice support for their bishop – especially among pro-life Catholics.
Peggy Hamill, director of Pro-Life Wisconsin (PLW), indicated that Morlino's fidelity to Catholic orthodoxy matched his reputation as "a man of integrity, and consistency."
"Pro-life Wisconsin knows him to have a deep respect for the sacredness of human life which he expects his priests to reflect," said Hamill. "Bishop Morlino's selection of new priests for the diocese of Madison is simply consistent with his fostering appreciation for the sacred."
PLW board member Greg Wagner agreed that "there's lots of positive" in the diocese's reaction to Morlino, despite the consistently negative news coverage.
Morlino has been subject to scathing criticism for his adherence to orthodox Catholicism in the past: he met with a strident outcry from liberal Catholics after sacking a pastoral associate who refused to recant her thesis questioning the masculinity of God as well as the authority of male Church hierarchy.
"There's quite a bit of support here in the Madison diocese, it certainly isn't all negative," said Wagner.
In addition, Wagner pointed to the "just phenomenal" Catholic spiritual life at the University of Wisconsin Madison's St. Paul University Catholic Center, saying that the "youth are getting behind Bishop Morlino." More…

A cameraman films a painting discovered with the earliest known icons of the Apostles Peter and Paul in a catacomb located under a modern office building in a residential neighborhood of Rome, Tuesday, June, 22, 2010. Restorers said Tuesday they had unearthed the 4th-century images using a new laser technique that allowed them to burn off centuries of white calcium deposits without damaging the dark colors of the original paintings underneath. The paintings adorn what is believed to be the tomb of a Roman noblewoman and represent some of the earliest evidence of devotion to the apostles in early Christianity. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito)
ROME – Twenty-first century laser technology has opened a window into the early days of the Catholic Church, guiding researchers through the dank, musty catacombs beneath Rome to a startling find: the first known icons of the apostles Peter and Paul.
Vatican officials unveiled the paintings Tuesday, discovered along with the earliest known images of the apostles John and Andrew in an underground burial chamber beneath an office building on a busy street in a working-class Rome neighborhood.
The images, which date from the second half of the 4th century, were uncovered using a new laser technique that allows restorers to burn off centuries of thick white calcium carbonate deposits without damaging the brilliant dark colors of the paintings underneath.
The technique could revolutionize the way restoration work is carried out in the miles (kilometers) of catacombs that burrow under the Eternal City where early Christians buried their dead.
The icons were discovered on the ceiling of a tomb of an aristocratic Roman woman at the Santa Tecla catacomb, near where the remains of the apostle Paul are said to be buried. More…

EncouragePriests.org™ was established in 2010, by the non-profit Catholic media apostolate Catholics Come Home, Inc® (www.CatholicsComeHome.org), during the "Year for Priests" declared by Pope Benedict XVI. Our mission is to encourage priests, and promote priestly vocations through our love and prayers.
On Father's Day (June 20, 2010), EncouragePriests.org™ will launch its interactive Web site (www.EncouragePriests.org) that will equip you in offering Spiritual bouquets as well as printable and e-greeting cards (Collar-Hollers? ) with kind words of gratitude to show your appreciation and love for our priests! Visitors will also have the opportunity to submit a one-minute video testimonial thanking their priest.
With your support, we also plan to develop beautiful television ads to uphold the priesthood and promote priestly vocations. In the meantime, please pray for our beloved seminarians, priests, bishops and our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI. We appreciate your prayers for the apostolic work of EncouragePriests.org™ and CatholicsComeHome.org®.
It seems like all of us have witnessed the kindness and dedication of a Catholic priest on numerous occasions, perhaps even daily. Maybe he humbly served at a funeral for someone in your family? Maybe, he helped prepare your son or daughter for marriage, and celebrated their Wedding Mass?
If we look further, we will witness the heroic and sacrificial lives of priests serving as Military Chaplains, ministering to the forgotten in nursing homes and hospitals, feeding the poorest of the poor, serving as a peacemaker during marriage counseling, and dedicating their lives to so many other works of mercy.
In our Catholic Church, the priest serves "in Persona Christi", bringing us the saving grace of Jesus Christ through the sacramental waters of baptism; reconciling us to the Blessed Trinity in the confessional; and bringing us in full communion with Jesus – truly present in the Holy Eucharist during the celebration of every Mass.
How quick the world is to criticize priests, but Jesus calls us to pray for them to be great shepherds of their flocks. They are constantly on the front line of spiritual attacks from the secular media and un-churched people. Sometimes they are condemned by non-Catholics, who simply don't understand the vocation of the Priesthood, that Jesus himself instituted on Holy Thursday.
Countless Catholic priests and bishops lead rewarding spirit-filled lives. Since they are human, they too can feel tired and lonely. Few of these servants receive our true gratitude and love. So many of these noble men of God could be uplifted by a simple prayer and a gentle word of appreciation from us!
Saint John Vianney, the Patron Saint of Parish Priests said: "If we were to fully realize what a priest is on earth, we would die: not of fright, but of love." He goes on to say: "What use would be a house filled with gold, were there no one to open its door? The priest holds the key to the treasures of Heaven: it is he who opens the door."
Editor's Note: Please support this site. EncouragePriests.org. At this time our priests need more support than ever. Ad majorem Dei gloriam, Sofia
You know that the federal government doesn't fund abortions? Well, explain this government report that shows how our federal government gave nearly $1 billion of taxpayer dollars to organizations that perform and/or advocate abortions over the past seven years, including $657.1 million just to Planned Parenthood.
Mark Hemingway reports on a GAO report that details spending from 2002-2009:
Over the seven year period studied in the report, Planned Parenthood received $657.1 million in tax dollars; Population Council received $284.3 million, the Guttmacher Institute received $12.7 million, Advocates for Youth received $8.7 million, and the International Planned Parenthood Federation received $3.9 million.
All in all, $966.7 million tax dollars went to encouraging a practice a plurality of Americans finds morally wrong.
You know what really kills me about this is knowing that we had a Republican President and a Republican congress for so many years and the massive funding stream of death continued unabated.
Defunding the death eaters should have made sense to social conservatives and fiscal conservatives yet it was never done. One has to ask "Why?"
And you want to know what the answer is – Republicans had the pro-life vote. We worked to get George W. Bush elected. They just needed to throw us a bone every once in a while. They didn't care enough to actually stop the funding of abortion to pick a political fight.
I guess all we can do now is look ahead and now that we have these GAO numbers thanks to Congressman Mike Pence we must stay on this issue until Planned Parenthood is completely defunded.You know that tripe that the federal government doesn't fund abortions?

VATICAN CITY, June 11, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Sin, satanic influence and the toleration of heresy lie at the root of the priestly sexual abuse scandals, Pope Benedict XVI said today. Precisely because it is an institution erected by God to make himself sacramentally "present to all men and women," the devil is interested in destroying the priesthood, he said.
Referring to the line in Psalm 22 ("Your rod and your staff – they comfort me"), Benedict became explicit about the need for the "rod" of discipline to correct errors in the Church.
"The Church too must use the shepherd's rod," he said, "the rod with which he protects the faith against those who falsify it, against currents which lead the flock astray."
"Today we can see that it has nothing to do with love when conduct unworthy of the priestly life is tolerated. Nor does it have to do with love if heresy is allowed to spread and the faith twisted and chipped away, as if it were something that we ourselves had invented."
Pope Benedict spoke today to 15,000 priests at the closing Mass of the Vatican's Year for Priests at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The priesthood, Pope Benedict said, is not "pleasing to the 'enemy,'" (the devil).
"He would have rather preferred to see it disappear, so that God would ultimately be driven out of the world. And so it happened that, in this very year of joy for the sacrament of the priesthood, the sins of priests came to light – particularly the abuse of the little ones, in which the priesthood, whose task is to manifest God's concern for our good, turns into its very opposite."
With evident personal sadness, the pope again extended his apology to the victims of sexual abuse, saying, "We too insistently beg forgiveness from God and from the persons involved."
This was followed by a promise to "do everything possible to ensure that such abuse will never occur again" by more scrutiny and better formation of those who apply for the priesthood. More…

Today's spotlight is on Elizabeth Kilbride.
Betty as she's know to her friends (yes, I get to call her Betty) came into my life awhile back when I heard her do a talk radio interview about the book she had written about called "Soul of American Warriors". The book which I will describe later through a synopsis from the publisher was being touted not just for its' content but for the ability to raise funds for the 3 Navy Seals who were accused of "abusing a terrorist insurgent" (oh, there's a thought) and their subsequent legal defense. The Seals were acquitted much to the efforts of Betty and others that saw to the Seals getting the best possible legal defense. The cost of this defense is staggering and Betty and her publisher have decided to help with this great cause.
The press release form Betty's publisher says it best:
<Author & Publisher Rally Support Behind Three Navy SEAL's.
Elizabeth Kilbride and Father's Press Publishing announced they would donate $4 from the sale of Kilbride's book "Soul of American Warrior" to the Navy SEAL's Defense Fund.
LEE SUMMIT, MO – Kilbride's donation is aimed at helping to offset the overwhelming legal fees associated with defending three U.S. Navy SEALs – SO2 Matthew McCabe, SO2 Jonathan Keefe and SO1 Julio Huertas – who have been charged with abuse of a terrorist insurgent.
"Matt McCabe and his fellow SEALs have the best possible legal representation. The best comes with a price tag," Kilbride said firmly. Mike Smitley, owner of Father's Press Publishing, said, "Having been to Iraq with our warriors, then writing about them, Kilbride knows their sacrifices first-hand, which is why she wanted to do more than just verbally give her support. We intend to help these SEALs by providing them with two strategic weapons to help them fight their battle — a book to help educate their fellow Americans and some funds to help in their defense."
Ok so you see Betty is the real deal. Heart's big as the moon, smart and originally from New York. Stuff Hollywood movies were made of once upon a time. the following information will bring you up to date witht he book and Betty. Please support this cause. If this isn't important, than nothing is…
At the invitation of a Marine Corps general, who was impressed by her book on World War II, Elizabeth Kilbride accompanied a Marine unit to Iraq for five weeks in the spring of 2006. This is a memoir of that journey along with one to battlefields in Vietnam.
In her own words, "I went from the average DC resident to boom, being in a war zone—no basic training for me…. Each one of the Marines made me feel like I was a part of their unit—a unique opportunity for a writer to have." But though treated "as if I were their sister," the ride was not all honeymoon for Kilbride. She quickly learned that "Independent media…are treated as their considered second-class citizens, unless you are a big name reporter." Nonetheless, this was a "defining moment" in her life that would not have been possible if she were a "big name reporter." She learned that there's another side to the story in Iraq that's not being reported by the media, a story "of our Armed Forces who are performing such amazing acts of compassion to help others in our name." Kilbride reports this story with deft insight and a passion for truth. Especially provocative is her accusation that politicians and reporters exploit the armed services for political and personal gain by focusing solely on bombings and terrorist attacks. Consequently, the American people are ignorant of the good things the warriors are accomplishing in Iraq. "The forgotten warriors of this war are the Marines of the Al Anbar Province. This is probably because they do not complain, and are rarely mentioned in the media, unless there have been casualties." This is a gross injustice that Kilbride claims can only be rectified by drastic action. "It is very clear when you consider the evidence being presented to us that there needs to be a complete change on Capitol Hill in upcoming elections. Both House and Senate need to be cleared out completely." The media must also be held accountable for promoting mistrust and lies about the armed forces. "While the media plays politics using our military as fodder in their reports during war, they are aiding the enemy. This is a form of treason, which is dangerous and deadly to those in uniform….the media can take credit for any casualties, both during Vietnam and in the war in Iraq." Bold words indeed. But how is this change in political opinion to take place? That everyone read Soul of American Warriors? Though she might like this, Kilbride suggests that the answer can only come when every American experiences a "defining moment," like she has had. One profound suggestion is that every American visit a battlefield, walk inside a bunker, and feel the horror of war still residing there. This gutsy book lacks the grammatical polish of mainstream journalism, but rightfully so, since this is a dispatch directly from the heart. This book is highly recommended for relatives and friends of service members being deployed to a war zone. Every library serving a U.S. military community should acquire it.
Review by Richard Barone, MWSA Reviewer (May 2010)
Author of SOUL OF AN AMERICAN WARRIOR: A Writer's Journey Comes Full Circle Elizabeth Kilbride
Ms. Kilbride is a seasoned professional who has achieved multiple levels of success in Washington, DC. As a former consultant and lobbyist for the military and defense industry, she was instrumental in helping to determine and fulfill revenue requirements related to military and defense initiatives. Having grown up in a very strong New York military family, her passion and love for those who serve in uniform, lead her on a path to work closely with the United States Marine Corps, United States Army, United States Navy, and various veterans' organizations throughout her career. Her expertise and extensive knowledge of the military gave her the advantage in leveraging government and private sector resources for programs to benefit those who serve in uniform, both on the streets at home and around the world.
Throughout her career, Ms. Kilbride has been instrumental in helping various military and veteran's organizations bring about changes with respect to national defense, national security and veterans benefit issues. Because of her involvement in over 300 political campaigns, she gained the respect of both political parties in Washington, DC. Knowing the social, economic and political ramifications affecting our military forces, she was invited to speak before both Congressional and Veterans Affairs Committees in support of national defense and veterans benefits. Her background and passion gained her an invitation from the United States Marine Corps to join them as the first embedded media to deploy as a member of a unit as they entered Iraq. Ms. Kilbride currently resides in Northern Virginia.
Look, there are plenty of causes that call to our souls. If we do not realize that these men; and men and women just like them are not allowed to defend our freedoms and be protected while doing it, we are FINISHED as a nation. I ask that to please buy this book, tell your friends to buy it and help the cause. The book itself is extraordinary and you will have an insight into our military like you have never experienced.
Betty is now a good friend, someone who I feel called to know and as it goes with God, that's all I need…

When the topic is abortion, there's too often a lot of grim stuff to write about. But not this time. This is beautiful, poignant news.
A friend forwarded a You Tube entry that had been sent along to her. It is misleadingly labeled "Andrea Bocelli Tells a 'Fairy Tale' about Abortion." In fact it is a true story–Andrea Bocelli's own story.
My guess is that most of our readers are familiar with Bocelli, whose beautiful tenor voice is a gift from God. According to published accounts, he'd always had problems with his sight and eventually was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma. He lost his vision completely at age 12 following a blow to the head during a soccer game.
The video, which Bocelli filmed for a pro-life organization, begins with the 51-year-old Bocelli at the piano. He is speaking in Italian, with English subtitles. Thanks to my assistant, Regina Huber, for transcribing his comments.
So, for this occasion I want to tell you a little story. This is how the story goes: A young pregnant wife has been hospitalized for a simple attack of appendicitis. The doctors had to apply some ice on her stomach and when the treatments ended the doctors suggested that she abort the child. They told her it was the best solution because the baby would be born with some disability. But the young brave wife decided not to abort, and the child was born.
That woman was my mother, and I was the child. Maybe I'm partisan but I can say that it was the right choice.
And I hope this could encourage many mothers that sometime find themselves in difficult situations in those moments when life is complicated but want to save the life of their baby. ….
A lovely word of encouragement. For you, for me, and especially, perhaps, for a young woman at a very difficult time in her life.

Almost 50 organizations funded by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development "remain involved in activities directly opposed to Catholic moral and social teachings," according to a June 1 statement by Reform CCHD Now. The coalition announced that a detailed report documenting these activities has been mailed to every bishop and diocesan pro-life director in the United States.
"Good things have started to happen with the CCHD, and there appears to be momentum toward real reform," said Robert Gasper, president of Bellarmine Veritas Ministry. "It has become clear that the problems can't be solved merely by defunding individual groups that have been identified as opposing Church teaching. This is why we continue to respectfully call for a complete reform of the CCHD."

For me a full day in Petra was enough, no doubt some here will disagree. It all depends on how much you want to see/do in Petra. I was there when the park opened in the morning at left at closing, I had visited the Treasury, museum, tombs, and even climbed to the Monastery and the High Place of Sacrifice. If you'd like to visit all those sights at a relaxed pace you will need two full days in Petra. The weather in Petra was so hot when I was there I was glad I wasn't spending another day in the region.
I was really underwhelmed by Wadi Rum and would have skipped it. Make sure you visit the protected area of the park and not just the surronding area. Many tour companies tour the surronding area to avoid paying the park entrance fee.
Report Abuse
We spent a full day in Petra, from about 8AM until about 3PM. Since we had just finished climbing Mt. Sinai the climb to the Monastery was in the category "it feels so good when it stops". However, we enjoyed every slow-moving minute of our visit. by the time we got down, we decided the High Place of Sacrifice was not that necessary.
We arrived in Amman and drove directly to Wadi Rum. at 8:15PM or so every other evening they have "Petra by Night" (12JD each) where the route to the Treasury through the Siq is illuminated by candles; at the treasury there's a half hour or so concert of local music by candle-light. I thought it was worth seeing.
If you are a day visitor to Jordan like many visitors on Israeli tours, entrance to Petra is 90JD rather than 50JD - I assume the 1 night you plan to stay is sufficient that you qualify for the power ticket price.
When we were done with Petra, we crashed in our hotel room early, so we spent 2 nights in Wadi Musa but did nothing in the town itself. If you are lively, young and energetic, you can do something after Petra. As an added workout, the siq exit from Petra is varying degrees of uphill all the way.
On the way back to Amman we stopped at the dead sea to try the legenday floating.
Report Abuse
We spent one (long) day at the Petra site. Somehow we got confused and had tickets for the evening walk the SAME day as our 5-6 hour walk around during daylight hours. Not something I would recommend! We did the walk up to the Monastery which I thought was lovely -- but the walk is not easy. We refused to take the broken down/ill-used donkeys and was glad of that. Still not for the faint of heart or those with breathing issues. Contrary to the other post, we absolutely LOVED Wadi Rum! We spent most of one day there with a guide who drove us down from the Movenpick in Petra. Saw baby camels, rock art, climbed dunes, walked over rocks, saw TE Lawrence ruins, etc. We thought it was magical and would highly recommend it!
Report Abuse
Agree with one full day at Petra. We also loved Wadi Rum and could have spent much more than two hours.
Report Abuse
We spent 2 days in Petra. stayed at the Movenpick, came back there for lunch. We went to wadi Musa for supper as we felt the Movenpick overpriced and not that good at the supper buffet. It gets hot in the afternoon and being in our 60's it was nice to come back to the hotel to take a break. Enjoyed Petra very much. Wadi Musa has some interesting restaurants that have some berber dishes.

Full week in April...and did two nights (1 full day) at Petra Movenpick ..agree that a day is enough (arrived early at 7:30a ...hiked to the Monastery before the crowds descend on the place ..took an alternate route back through some siqs ..relaxed and napped mid-afternoon before a light dinner in Wadi Musa and Petra at Night ..took it all in. Wadi Rum was absolutely amazing..spend two full nights (2 1/2 days) with a full day of trekking. Expansive and transportive ...if you are OK with a 'summer camp' experience. We finished our itinerary with a full relaxing day at a Dead Sea resort (after all the hiking) ...good cadence to the trip. Rented a car for the entire trip out of Amman...very easy driving once outside the city.

Sunzi bingfa 孫子兵法 "The Art of War by Master Sun"
The Art of War is the most popular military classic in both Asia and the West. By Japanese managers it was even employed as guideline for war inside the economic market. It is ttributed to the semi-legendary Sun Wu 孫武 (6th cent BC), a strategist of the state of Wu 吳, but considering different secondary sources about him and the influence of Daoist conceptions may result in the conclusion that he was from the traditonal state of military thinkers, that is Qi 齊. Recently a copy of Sunzi Bingfa was recoverd form a Han period 漢 tomb in Linyi, including significant additional material such as the King of Wus questions.

Laying Plans
1. Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
2. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
3. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field. These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
4. The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
5. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.
6. Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.
7. The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.
8. By method and discipline are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
9. These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail...
15. According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans.
16. All warfare is based on deception.
17. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
18. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
19. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.
20. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.

Patients diagnosed with stage II breast cancer have a primary cancer that either involves axillary lymph nodes and is less than five centimeters (two inches) in size, or is greater than two centimeters (3/4 inch) in size and does not involve any axillary lymph nodes. Stage II breast cancers are curable with current multi-modality treatment consisting of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy.
Effective treatment of stage II breast cancer requires both local and systemic therapy. Local therapy consists of surgery and/or radiation and is directed at destroying any cancer cells in or near the breast. Systemic therapy is directed at destroying cancer cells throughout the body, and may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormonal therapy . Systemic therapy is often administered as adjuvant therapy , which means treatment after surgery.
CancerConnect Breast Cancer Community & Discussions
You are not alone—The CancerConnect Breast Cancer Community is the leading Social Media Application for Breast Cancer patients and caregivers seeking information, inspiration, and support in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. With over 50,000 members the network offers patients and caregivers a thriving community to support the many ongoing needs from diagnosis to survivorship. Login or register here.
The following is a general overview of treatment for stage II breast cancer. Multi-modality treatment, which utilizes two or more treatment techniques, is increasingly recognized as an important approach for improving a patient's chance of cure or prolonging survival. In some cases, participation in a clinical trial utilizing new, innovative therapies may provide the most promising treatment. Circumstances unique to each patient's situation may influence how these general treatment principles are applied. The potential benefits of multi-modality care, participation in a clinical trial, or standard treatment must be carefully balanced with the potential risks. The information on this website is intended to help educate patients about their treatment options and to facilitate a mutual or shared decision-making process with their cancer physician.

Local Therapy: Surgery and Radiation
Surgery and radiation are considered local therapies because they can treat the cancer in the breast and prevent cancer recurrence in the affected breast and surrounding area, but cannot treat cancer that has already spread to other locations in the body.
Surgery: Surgery for stage II breast cancers may consist of mastectomy or lumpectomy. A mastectomy involves removal of the entire breast, whereas a lumpectomy involves removal of the cancer and a portion of surrounding tissue. Because a lumpectomy alone is associated with a higher rate of cancer recurrence than mastectomy, patients who elect to have a lumpectomy are also treated with radiation therapy. This combination of lumpectomy and radiation therapy is called breast-conserving therapy. Clinical studies have shown that breast conserving therapy is associated with a lower risk of local cancer recurrence compared to lumpectomy alone. [1], [2]
Mastectomy and breast-conserving therapy are the current standard of care for the local treatment of stage II breast cancers and both are considered acceptable options. Furthermore, breast conserving therapy and mastectomy have been shown to produce identical long-term survival. [3]
Surgery for early stage breast cancer may also involve the evaluation of axillary (underarm) lymph nodes in order to determine whether cancer has spread outside the breast and establish the stage of the cancer. This is important to determine whether additional treatments beyond local therapies, such as chemotherapy, are required. For over 30 years, the standard of practice for breast cancer staging has included the removal of approximately 10-25 axillary lymph nodes to help determine whether the cancer has spread. This procedure, called an axillary lymph node dissection, can be associated with chronic side effects, including pain, limited shoulder motion, numbness, and swelling.
A new approach for evaluating whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes is a sentinel lymph node biopsy. The advantage to this procedure is that it involves the removal of a single lymph node, called the sentinel node, which is the first lymph node to collect excess fluid surrounding the cancer. Prior to surgery, blue dye is injected near the cancer. The dye drains from the area containing the cancer into the nearby lymph nodes, through the sentinel node. The node containing the dye is removed during surgery and evaluated under a microscope to determine whether cancer has spread. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is becoming the standard approach for determining whether cancer has spread to the axillary lymph nodes. [4]
Researcher now indicates that sentinel node biopsy appears to be just as effective in determining cancer spread to axillary lymph nodes as an axillary lymph node dissection and results in fewer side effects in patients with early stage breast cancer. [5]

Skip to comments.'Dateline NBC' Alumna Jane Pauley Stumps for Obama: 8 People Show Up
Posted on 09/23/2008 9:54:51 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
There's a heartwarming story in today's Times of Northwest Indiana. Jane Pauley, one-time co-host of NBC's Today and Dateline NBC programs, made an appearance yesterday for Barack Obama. Joining her was Steve Skvara, the retired steelworker who in August of last year tearfully asked Democratic presidential candidates at a debate, "What's wrong with America? And what will you do to change it?" The Times reported:
PORTAGE Former television news anchor and Hoosier native Jane Pauley returned to her professional roots Monday during a local appearance on behalf of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
Pauley, who said she worked for the state Democratic Party before launching her successful news career, took part in a panel discussion aimed at touting the benefits of Obama's economic plans for Hoosiers over that of his Republican challenger John McCain.
While the subject matter was complex at times, Pauley occasionally took the opportunity to inject partisan humor into the discussion.
"Why would you want a maverick when you've had a cowboy in the White House for two terms already?" she asked, referring to McCain's description of himself.
Alas, Jane's witty comment didn't enjoy as much currency as it deserved. That's because only eight people showed up for the rally. Late notice was cited for the pathetic turnout.
The small gathering didn't discourage Skvara, a favorite with the Communist People's Weekly World. He gave the obligatory McCain "scares me to death" statement and continued:
He said McCain opposes federal rules and regulations and yet that has repeatedly led to catastrophes, whether it was the savings and loan crisis during the 1990s or the current mortgage crisis.
Playing off President Bush's claims of wanting to put more control into people's hands as part of an "ownership society," Skvara said the country is headed in the opposite direction.
"It's going to be the homeless society," he said.
Last year Steve tugged on liberal heartstrings with his plaintive, "What's wrong with America?" That only eight people showed up to see the Pauley-Skvara duo supporting Obama is evidence of what's right with America.
Eight people showed up? What's that equal, one person for each of Pauley's brain cells?
Paging Claude Rains as Inspector Renault.
Newsbusters is great, but I can't think of any reason why this woman's opinion should matter to anybody, or why it would be considered any more well reasoned than mine..
What a pathetic excuse.
"Eight people showed up? Whats that equal, one person for each of Pauleys brain cells?"
No, that's TWO people for each year of significant experience Obama has...
I yearn for the days when other steelworkers would have kicked the living crap out of him and then everybody would have retired to the nearest bar.
"Late notice was cited for the pathetic turnout.
What a pathetic excuse."
You can't blame them for the low turnout. Obama only told them when he was elected as Senator. That's WAY too short of notice.
Tell me about it. Reminds me of that photo of Cindy Sheehan at that book signing no one went to. Anyone have that photo? What's happened to her, anyway? It seems like it's been months since she last endangered every camera lens in America.
She's running as an independent against House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, believe it or not: http://www.cindyforcongress.org/
Be fun to send her a couple of bucks just to keep Nancy occupied.
Despite her elitist credentials, I would not be surprised to read that Ms Pauley is fightin' and prayin' that the great god Obama will be winnin' in November.
I could not agree more. The media poobahs actually believe the Marxist claptrap they were taught in the Ivy League. They take it to be sophisticated intellectualism, beyond the grasp of the great unwashed.
All maids and butlers...
I can get more than eight people to listen to me read the Yellow Pages on any street corner.
What a joke.
Is that from the site?
This is a lie. I saw the picture and could count 80,000 people in the picture. (/Democrat)
I can't believe 8 people showed up to hear her. Four must have been family or staff.

Spears, fiance call off wedding
Britney Spears announced Friday that she has ended her yearlong engagement, capping a week of changes that included her leaving "The X Factor" and promising fans she was returning her focus to music, The Associated Press reports.
Within hours of confirming her departure from the Fox reality series, Spears also announced that her relationship had ended with talent agent Jason Trawick, who grew up in Holbrook and attended Sachem North High School in Lake Ronkonkoma.
"Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement," Spears said in the statement. "I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends."
Spears' publicist Jeff Raymond said the breakup was a difficult decision made by "two mature adults."
"I love and cherish her and her boys, and we will be close forever," Trawick said in a joint statement that was first reported by People magazine.
Trawick also resigned his role Friday as Spears' co-conservator. Spears and Trawick got engaged in December 2011 and he was added as her co-conservator in April.
Spears, 31, has been under a court-supervised conservatorship since February 2008, with her father and another co-conservator, Andrew Wallet, having control over numerous aspects of her personal life. The case was opened after several incidents of erratic behavior by the pop singer and a pair of hospitalizations.

Julianna Margulies
August 2, 2011 by Post Team
Julianna Margulies, Julianna Margulies is seems that "The Good Wife" in name only. CBS released a steamy poster promotion for the legal drama Emmy winner, and based on photographic evidence, political Marguilies spouse character will be shaking her hand demure when Season 3 starts September 25.
The last time Alicia left Marguiles' way to a hotel room with the love interest (Josh Charles) for a fun little adultery, leaving her future with her husband Peter no-good-trap (Chris North) very much in doubt.
Based on the short coat and the look of ecstasy on the bill, the presidential suite seems to be agreement with Alice.

Climbing out of the Abyss With Exports – Argentina's Territorial Cycle
Two features of Argentina's history jump out at any observer, first I notice it was a wealthy agricultural territory in the 19th century with an abundant pampas of rich soil. Second, from 1850 to 1955 it experienced the second largest European immigration in the world, second only to the U.S. The twentieth century was hard on Argentina's economy and its people. The country is still relatively wealthy, but it hasn't progressed as far along as it should have. Repressive politics played a negative … [Read more...]
Trade At The Center Of An Economy – Jordan's Industrial Cycle
To understand Jordan's economy you have to understand two things. First you have to recognize that Jordan doesn't have oil. It isn't one of the big winners among the Arab countries who happened to have huge oil reserves under their desert. Second, Jordan's society is built up on the desert economy of two hundred years ago. What I mean by this is that, without oil the Arab community of Jordan has to negotiate their existence with trade as they did hundreds of years ago. They used to live in oasis … [Read more...]
Taxes, Jingoism and The Realities of European Politics – Great Britain's Territorial Cycle

But there's more to consider here than short-term economic conditions and British chauvinistic pride. Western Europe … [Read more...]

Pre-Charging: Before charges are filed, you should not make a statement to the police without an attorney present. An experienced attorney can provide the police with the information you want them to know without sacrificing your right to remain silent.
Bond: This is the amount of money you have to put in trust with the county to be free while your case is pending. This amount will initially be set by the Court when charges are filed, but it can be reduced at a bond hearing, where your attorney can present evidence and make arguments on your behalf.
Investigation: I'll begin your defense by finding out what evidence the State has, and assessing the best way to combat it. I'll review the ways they gathered their evidence, interview their witnesses when necessary, and look for evidence that helps your case.
Plea negotiations: Trial is not always the best option. Negotiating a plea can limit the penalties you face and may result in reduced charges. What's important is that you understand all the different risks and outcomes between a trial and a plea before you make a decision.
Expungement: Whether you are convicted of a felony or found not guilty, the State keeps records that are accessible to employers unless you take action. Indiana now allows criminal records to be expunged from public access. It is a process that is not often lengthy and can be simple if handled correctly.
You and your family should not face this process alone. Contact me today so I can begin helping you.

Hi there -
I am looking to buy a new kitchen faucet, have looked at both a nice plumbing supply place that serves the public as well as the trade, and the big box stores. For what appeared to be the same thing, prices were quite different.
However, I noticed that the bottom plate on the sink faucets seemed all to be made of plastic. I have to have one because I am reusing an old sink and it will surely have marks from the old taps. Plastic!
I also need to replace the lovely old plumbing in the tub/shower with new stuff, can't afford the $650 reproduction two-tap style. But I want to make certain that there is a good price/quality/design balance.
So, will I get something that is truly better if I spend more money at the plumbing supply place, even for the same model as is available at the big box home improvement place? I want metal for one thing!
Thank you

There is no doubt that Kingdom has become one of the leading venues for hip hop in Richond over the last few months. I credit this to the hard work of Broad Street Elite caption So !lla who has been putting in work all over Richmond in 2012. Last Friday, I took the Cheats Movement camera to Winterfest 2012 to catch a strong collection on local hip hop in one place.
Ms. Proper rocking the stage with the entire click. BSE X So Proper Ent is under one umbrella and ready to ride in 2013
Though Winterfest ultimately met the same "key" hiccup as most RVA hip hop shows, either too many acts or not enough time. I was pleased to see a nice size crowd of hip hop fans when I arrived. Though I was upset that I showed up right after my dude Octavion Xcellence finished his set, the crowd was still buzzing and it's clear I may have missed one of the best performances of the night. Octavion just released his mixtape "Vigilante" and he has some fire on it (Check the track: Get It How You Live).
Octavion and Artik Phreeze
I did arrive in time to see Broad Street Elite turn it up. Ms. Proper, So !lla, Conci$e, WhopDaSquire, Rich P, were laced up and ready to go. I've said this before but it bears repeating…I would need to hit the gym for about 3 years straight to join that click – where do they find the time. I've also said this before (and I'm sure I will say again), Ms. Proper is the truth on stage, it's another level. She commands the stage – rocks the mic – and does her thing and bounces, I'm always happy to catch her on set.
I then saw Petersburg spitta Rockstarr Gunna. This was my first time seeing him rock live and I must say, I was impressed with his performance. The performance was high energy with strong lyrical flow. I genuinely like the music so I'm not sure if he needed to highlight the "guitar" element of the show as much as he did. The guitar was dope but until they really got into it – at the very end of the set due to some mic issue (not their fault), the guitar just seemed to be more of a distraction for the fans then a real strong part of the live performance. With that said, I would attend another Rockstarr Gunna performance, absolutely. It's worth seeing and I have a feeling only going to get better.
Rockstarr Gunna and the guitar (FYI – that dude can really play the guitar, he got busy at the end of the set)
Next to perform were HaBitS and I'm a fan of their work. I've covered a few of their performances in the past (and missed a few more – my bad). I'm a fan of what I call "true east coast hip hop." Don't get me wrong – I like a lot of music – but there is nothing like that Eric B and Rakim type flow, that Nas type flow, that a pull out a milk carton or have you man make a beat on a cafeteria table type flow – Habits has it – and a lot of that is missing or won't pop off in 2012 hip hop. There are some exceptions – Stalley comes to mind but HaBitS seems to bring that type of flow and I'm rooting for them to have big 2013.
HaBits ready for a break out year.
The final act I covered were my brothers the New Juice Crew. If you read this blog – you know TNJC is family to me so you really have to see their set for yourself to get a unbiased opinion BUT I will say Black Liq is poised to have huge 2013. I spoke to him at the show and the stuff he has planned will get you excited for RVA hip hop as a whole. BC Music 1st deserves mention in this posted because he is really putting in work with, photos, videos, and music. BC's grind has caught up to Black's and along with Lord Slugg, Brother Starks, Bandolero, and RT I'm really looking forward to seeing what the TNJC can pull off in 2013.
BC has showed Liquid type grind in recent months and now locked and loaded for 2013 the TNJC focus' is on a trillion.
Finally, I have to give some love to YFD Clothing – my man DaQuan Williams and Artik Phreeze. I'm not sure if Phreeze took the stage late but he's on the The Cheats Movement X RVA Mag mixtape: RVA HOT SAUCE Volume 1 coming out real soon on the RVA Mag Bandcamp page. I don't know – never met – DJ Gringo but he held it down Friday night – #Salute. I saw Rah Srcilla – DoeBoydaDude – and the crew from Natural Talent (those brothers are always working) in building. Overall, a good reprentation of RVA hip hop – always glad to be in the building. WE SEE IT!

ABSTRACT. This special issue conspicuously lacks work by Philosophers of Color (with the exception of this commentary). I have been given this opportunity to discuss the impediments that kept me from submitting my relevant work, offered as a small step toward recognizing the impediments faced by other Philosophers of Color. I highlight factors including direct and indirect consequences of a disproportionately White community of US philosophers, and some underrecognized risk-reward calculations that Philosophers of Color face when choosing an article project. I urge further discussion of the topic, starting with an exhortation to choose the right phenomenon and accordingly frame the right question: Why are White philosophers deliberating the "ethical and social issues arising out of the 2016 US presidential election" in a prestigious journal, while Philosophers of Color are deliberating the same issues in tense classrooms, closed offices, and on-/off-campus forums?
"Our profession perpetuates many of the same explicit and implicit racist structures/biases that I and others critique in the Trump era (adulation of White men of dubious merit, dog whistle invocations of Western culture, blindness to structural racism/sexism/heterosexism, etc.). That makes it feel…different…to critique the Trump era from the position of a Philosopher of Color. My career has been at least as benign and charmed as that of any Philosopher of Color whom I've talked to about career matters, but even mine includes a string of macro- and micro-aggressions from my fellow philosophers, including: outrageous defamatory peer reviews of my (non-anonymous) submitted work, condescending White-splaining of basic points during Q&As, flat refusals to believe that I know even a little about topics in which I have well-documented expertise, and many other incidents I can't even safely mention.
In this milieu, the prospect of banding together with fellow philosophers to boldly stand together and critique the Trump era for its faults is not tantamount to hypocrisy, but it makes it a hell of a lot harder to feel the team spirit. I even get (often unfairly) frustrated when I see my White colleagues appear to overestimate the novelty of Trump era inequities, since it reinforces my perception that they still vastly underestimate the breadth and depth of inequities before the rise of Trump. It can grow frustrating, as a Philosopher of Color, to be surrounded by White colleagues getting "woke," even though their waking up to social inequities is obviously a change for the better. Much is new about the Trump-era rhetoric, policies, and zeitgeist, but much is not.
In this case, I urge readers of this issue to not get sidetracked by a misleading question (Why is this issue so White when the concerns of/about people of color are especially relevant?). The question that needs answering is: Why are White philosophers deliberating the "ethical and social issues arising out of the 2016 US presidential election" in a prestigious journal while Philosophers of Color are deliberating the same issues in tense classrooms, closed offices, and on-/off-campus forums? Publishing an article in KIEJ garners praise from promotion committees; those other activities, not so much. Let's please discuss the right question. I have tried to articulate what I think are some 'upstream' social and professional structures that allowed an outpouring of excellent work by White philosophers, yet failed to channel work by Philosophers of Color into the same pool. For philosophers to forcefully and effectively critique the Trump era, we must simultaneously do the hard work of addressing our own profession's inequities."

Nbc The Voice Vote
June 30, 2011 by Post Team
Nbc The Voice Vote, Javier Colon soul singer was crowned the first winner of "The Voice" NBC's new singing competition. Columbus triumphed over three other finalists, when the audience vote is announced the end of the season live on Wednesday. You will receive a prize and 100,000 and a recording contract.
A slim 2 percent margin of colon separated second day Frampton, 23, of St. George, Utah, host Carson Daly said. The other finalists were Vicci Martinez, 26, of Tacoma, Washington, and Beverly McClellan, 41, of Virginia, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida
"Wow, thanks," said Columbus was surprised in the future as confetti fell on him. "The three women behind me are absolutely stunning and a pleasure to be here with them."
"Voice" featured pop stars Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine as "coaches" for the contestants. In a twist on the talent show format, contestants were initially collected sight unseen and based on his voice.
Columbus was led by the leader Levine of Maroon 5, who raised his arms in victory when the name of Columbus was announced and then rushed on stage to hug him. Shelton, who directed Frampton, smiled and applauded.
The other party for couples and Martinez Aguilera McClellan-Green.
During the live final, the contestants had the opportunity to sing with other famous singers. Miranda Lambert, who is married to fellow country star Shelton sang with Frampton, Stevie Nicks with Columbus, Pat Monahan of Train with Martinez and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic with McClellan.
Based on a Dutch series, showed "The Voice", a much-needed ratings hit for NBC and return to the lineup of the network. Call casting the next season is underway at the NBC website.
In addition to the blind audition, the show brought another fresh wrinkle TV: McClellan and blues rock singer Martinez openly gay. That contrasts with TV singing No. 1, "American Idol", which included singers gay did not refer to his sexuality until after the competition ended, as Adam Lambert.
The four finalists will begin a concert tour in six cities by the end of July, along with four other top finishers: Frenchie Davis, Washington, DC, native, Nakia Austin, Texas, Casey Weston, Naples, Florida, and Xenia, Temecula, California

Omnichannel is all about shifting from channel-centric to customer-centric – much more customer-centric than you are today. Knowing who your customers are and having a view of products and inventory across channels are the basic requirements to delivering exceptional customer experiences across channels and touch points.
This is not a project. A business transformation is required to empower people to deliver omnichannel customer experiences. The executive team needs to drive it and align compensation and incentives around it. A collaborative cross-functional approach is needed to achieve it.
Omnichannel depends on customer-facing teams such as marketing, sales and call centers to have access to a total customer relationship view based on clean, consistent and connected customer, product and inventory information. This is the basic foundation needed to deliver seamless, integrated and consistent customer experiences across channels and touch points and improve their effectiveness.

Justice Ranjana Desai and Justice R V More said in view of the importance of the case, they were also directing the State to ensure that Advocate General Ravi Kadam argues the matter himself.
The bench was hearing two petitions filed by lawyer V P Patil and former journalist Ketan Tirodkar seeking a CBI probe into Dey's killing.
The court also allowed applications filed by two journalist organisations -- Press Club, Mumbai and Marathi Patrakar Parishad -- to intervene in the matter as they also pleaded for a CBI probe into murder of Dey, who was shot dead by four unidentified assailants in suburban Powai on June 11.
Public prosecutor Pandurang Pol said investigations were on and the city police and its crime branch were moving in the right direction. He said the government was conscious and there was no need to transfer to probe to CBI at this stage.
However, the judges said they would like to know the progress made by city police and crime branch in the probe and asked the state to file a status report on June 21.
Petitioner Patil said, "Like fake encounters in the past, there was a possibility of fake investigations in this case" and pleaded for a probe by an independent agency like CBI.
Another petitioner, Ketan Tirodkar, argued that nexus between police and underworld was suspected and a CBI probe into Dey'' murder was justified.

text: I am on 2.2, rooted and deodexed, and something funny happens every time I charge the phone. If the phone is on the charger and receives a notification, the screen does not turn off. If after I have charged the phone I receive a notification, the screen still does not turn off. It dims as if it is going to turn off, but doesn't. I have the screen time-out set to 15 seconds and use Screebl to manage shutting the screen off, both of which seem to fail. I do not have "stay awake" checked under the developer options and all of this is fixed by a reboot, but it would be nice if anyone could offer a solution to the problem since it's pretty annoying having to reboot every time after I connect it to my computer. Thanks in advance!


text: I figured out a cool way of getting a different "lockscreen" (in a way) on the Eris with 2.1 Download the app myLock (beta) from the market. (Don't download myLock complete beta) Go into the app, and press toggle lockscreen skip. Now you can go to settings>security and make an unlock pattern. Now when you lock your phone and press the unlock key, you go straight to the pattern unlock screen and the app bypasses the htc lock screen. Pretty sweet. You even get the cool eclair clock on there!

Santander Travel Blog› entry 1 of 3 › view all entries
We had only two and a half days to enjoy Cantabria. Cantabria in one of the northern provinces in Spain. If you like beautiful green scenery, this is one of the places to go, all along with Galicia, Asturias and Basque Country. Since it was our first trip to Cantabria, our plans were too ambitious. We wanted to visit the capital , Santander, and hit some other beautiful spots in the region. Eventually, and mostly due to bad weather and lack of time, we ended up staying all 2 days in Santander and visited just one of the villages in our list on the way back to Madrid.
Santander turned out to be a nice city to walk around, despite the rain, with a large selection of bars in the old town and quite a few things to see.
We walked the old town (Plaza Porticada, the market, Plaza de Pombo...) and then took the street by the coast up to La Magdalena, a little hilly peninsula crowned by a Palace. You'll have great views from here. If you don't feel like walking up to the palace, there is one of those tourist trains that will take you up the hill. We didn't take it. Actually, the walk up to the palace is really pleasant. In summer the whole city gets really crowded, so I can imagine it loses some of its charm...
After La Magdalena, we kept on walking along the coast, getting to El Sardinero, a beautiful beach, 2 km long, which gives its name to the football stadium of the local team. Here you'll find lots of restaurants and bars too. We had a delicious typical lunch in one of them with a nice bottle of wine.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed a nice walk along El Sardinero beach, had some coffee, and headed back to the hostel by bus when heavy rain started hitting.
The next day we wanted to drive around and visit a few beautiful villages in the area, but it was really pouring down and I didn't feel like driving like that, so we took it really easy walking around the old city. To sum it up... coffee, walk, wine, walk, tapas, walk, more coffe, walk back to the hotel.

I'm in! US only please..
1. What are your favorite crafting colors?
Anything but neons...lately I seem to be more into neutral/nature colors
2. Is there a card fold or technique that you would enjoy learning how to create?
Honestly, my card fold and technique skills are pretty minimal so this will be a good way for me to go outside my comfort zone and learn something new.
3. How do you organized your 12 inch papers?
You're supposed to organize?
4. What is your favorite style or craft company?
Depends on what I'm looking for....I'm not real loyal to one brand - usually just go for whatever I like at the moment. But I do have a love of Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.
5. Add any additional information you might want someone to know about your crafting habits!
Last year I started trying to focus more on using what I have and not buying new things. It's worked out pretty well. This year my goal is to use more of the stamps that I have. Sad to say I have many that have never seen ink. Hoping that will change.
