Pregnancy and breast cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How is breast cancer managed in a patient who just found out she is pregnant?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Approximately 1 to 3 patients out of 10,000 deliveries will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their pregnancy. It is the most common cancer seen during pregnancy. Recent tendencies to defer childbearing until later in life may increase the incidence, since older women are more likely to develop breast cancer.
The clinical presentation of breast cancer during pregnancy is the same as in a nonpregnant patient, with a palpable mass being the most common symptom. Mammography is not particularly helpful in the pregnant women because of the increased density of the breast tissue during pregnancy, but ultrasound can safely be used. Biopsy of the lump can be performed safely by a physician experienced in such cases.
The options for the local treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy are limited for the woman who wishes to continue her pregnancy. The use of radiation therapy during the first and second trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated due to the inability to shield the fetus from radiation. For the third trimester of pregnancy, lumpectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection can be performed, with radiation therapy delayed until after delivery. In general, most would advise modified radical mastectomy to avoid the problems of radiation therapy during pregnancy, including the risk to the fetus. Alternatively, therapy can be postponed which increases risk to the mother. In some instances, when cancer is diagnosed near term, delivery may be accomplished prior to surgery for the breast cancer. In rare cases, a locally aggressive malignancy diagnosed very early in pregnancy and requiring radiation therapy may justify a therapeutic abortion.
All chemotherapeutic agents are potentially teratogenic (dangerous to the fetus) during the first trimester. However, studies have safely given chemotherapy to pregnant women in the 2 nd & 3 rd trimesters. Before administering chemotherapy to such patients, they must be willing to accept the risks of premature delivery as a consequence of treatment.
Breast cancer during pregnancy had been thought to be a particularly virulent disease, but much of the poor prognosis seems to have been due to advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage-for-stage, current studies show equivalent survival when women who develop breast cancer during pregnancy are compared with the general population of breast cancer patients.

Sweeping it under the carpet
Oh, alright, it's not sordid. Not even a little bit, in fact.
Actually, I don't know why I started like that, let me try again:
I bought a carpet sweeper.
(Now I know why I started like that. You've all just rolled your eyes and scrolled away, right? Riveting. Woohoo! Mrs Accident's found a new housewifery tool! Call the Associated Press! Man the phones! We're onto a winner!)
My carpet sweeper is a bold blue, like the colour of a banana in a surrealist painting.
It has gears and cogs and bristles and brushes, and I've seen them all, because the damn thing falls apart at the slightest provocation. (Or violent provocation. Bug thumped it down the stairs.) But the nice thing about simple machinery is the ability for it to be repaired, so my fine carpety friend lives to sweep another day.
And it gets a work out every day.
And here we do have a sordid confession. My floors used to be shocking. I was embarrassed to be called the Accidental Housewife, because anyone who came to my house would have taken one horrified, shaking glance at my leprosy withered floors and assumed that any housewife that may have once inhabited the home had indeed met with a nasty, career ending accident.
But no more!
I hated pulling around our heavy old vacuume. I felt like I was enduring some kind of Ancient Grecian punishment. The thing was effective, but the outcome was barely worth the effort involved. It was not something to be done daily, but with two small kids and two dogs, it certainly should have been!
Enter carpet sweeper, stage left, (and exit, and enter, and exit... it usually takes a few passes... ok...wait... got it!)
It's light and quick enough that I can do a zip around every day, keeping the floors looking nice and holding off the vacuuming for absolutely ages. Yonks. Eons! (I recently went three weeks without vacuuming once. It was heaven. And probably terribly unhygienic. Please don't tell Martha Stewart!)
It's also good for that heartbreaking dilemma when you just finished vacuuming, the floors are pristine, then the toddler wakes up and grinds her post-nap corn cracker into the carpet. Instead of throwing the toddler, carpet and cracker out the window, you can simply grab ol' sweepy and divert years of pesky police involvement! Mrs Accident, saving you from yourself since 2013. Your welcome.
So embrace your inner 1950s housewife, and get in early on my newly proclaimed carpet sweeper fad!
(Or, you know, not. I don't want to boss you around or anything. It's entirely up to you. I'm just saying they're good, that's all.)

Hehehe my grandmother had a carpet sweeper and said it was the best thing since sliced bread...lol. She didn't like vacuuming either so you aren't alone. Come to think of it I'm not much of a fan either. Maybe I should look into one of those "new fangled" gadgets.ReplyDelete
I like the relative quiet of these contraptions as opposed to the loud hum of the vacuum. Now that we're a carpet-free household, I sweep and mop more and the vacuum rarely gets used.ReplyDelete
You mean I wasn't the only one with dustyhairycrumbly floors?ReplyDelete
I actively hate sweeping. So during our 8 month sojourn in Aus, in a house with tiles throughout the living room/kitchen/everywhere, I learnt to...vacuum :-) I still vacuum instead of sweep, and specially did concrete floors in our newish kitchen/living room addition. But it still is a schlep - I long for a light, slimline vacuumthingey that takes 2.5 sec to use.
If ONLY my mother's 1950s carpet sweeper hadn't been tossed aside! We used to call it The Peepit Scwarper and it invariably distributed more 'oose' than it collected. I expect the new all-singing, all-dancing ones do an amazing job - I wish you joy of your immaculate floors.ReplyDelete
I loved our carpet sweeper, fab things and much easier than lugging the big cleaner out....and three weeks, cough cough.....I would just like to say, I have beaten that...big time.....ReplyDelete
I had one of those dust bustery things that was attached to a bigger thingamajig and that was okay till it pooped itself...and ran out of charge all the time...at least the carpet sweeper wont run out of charge..unless you are asleep that is........... happy sweeping, crumb making, sweeping, crumb making, sweeping..etc, etc, etc...
It is really a headache to sweep the floor every single day. I myself just let dust bunnies grow under different parts of my apartment but this man-made machine could help me fix this problem. Vacuums are a lazy man's best friend. You just have to plug it in and it does your job a hundred times better.ReplyDelete
This is why I have an eight year old. We have no carpet, but live near to both beaches and bluescope, so there is lots of dust. The large child does the vacuuming once or twice a week, and I sweep as needed. Mainly under the table eight times a day. (Where do all the crumbs come from?? Steak doesn't make crumbs!!)ReplyDelete
I have a love hate relationship with my carpet sweeper.ReplyDelete
I don't think it's very effective on my thick, plush carpet.
it's awkward to clean as well.
I am addicted to vacuuming. And I can never spell vacuum correctly. Sadly. I would vacuum every single day if possible. Especially now that I have a canister that shows just how incredibly nasty my carpet is with two shedding dogs, indoor/outdoor cats, and let us not forget four humans!ReplyDelete
The sweeper sounds like the thing to have. It would probably be gentler on my back. However, I don't know how much golden retriever hair it would gather up.
Since our house is 90% hard floors I want a hardfloor sweeper. Battery operated preferred since I always get tangled in the cords. I've a brand new vacuum cleaner, which is a fantastic floor cleaner (as it should be since it cost a small fortune) but the damn thing weighs a tonne and is IMPOSSIBLE to maneuver. I actually have to repair and repaint half the skirting boards and just about every single architrave in our house now because the vacuum cleaner doesn't swivel, and no matter how hard I try to guide it through a doorway it still manages to collide with the frame every single time. DRIVES ME INSANE.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 7, 2013 at 3:38 PM
I had one of these when we rented because I knew I wouldn't need one when we got our own house (I later relented, realising how many years I had till then) and it worked perfectly wonderfully - it is definitely the Green option as you can use no power, get a work out and do it when kids are down to naps!! Genius if you ask me.ReplyDelete
I have a carpet sweeper, too, and couldn't live without it! My cats seem to prefer wrestling the instant I've finished vacuuming, so within minutes my carpet is coated with fuzzy black hair. The carpet sweeper saves the day!ReplyDelete
Where are you?ReplyDelete
Vacuuming is one of my least favorite chores. I even bought a robotic roomba once in hopes I could pretend it was my maid. The darned thing would get stuck under the chairs and fall down the stairs, even though they guaranteed it couldn't.ReplyDelete
Still hating to clean the floor, but doing it.

Vol. XX No. 14 BETHEL INSTITUTE (St. Paul, Minn.) May 16, 1941
Want to Know How to Marry?--
Powell Discusses With Frosh
Problems of Home Brought Dean Rides Mower
Before Freshman Lectures
Pastor Powell of the First Bap-tist
Church of St. Paul last Friday,
May 9, concluded a series of two
lectures about the problems of
marriage and the home.
In the past, as well as in other
lands even today, said Pastor Pow-ell,
mates were selected by vio-lence
and war or by the parents
of the individuals concerned, but
in America today this great prob-lem
of life is usually left to the
persons to decide for themselves.
We say that is the best method,
yet we don't brag about our high
divorce rate. Character, intelli-gence,
and determination are three
important factors which will in-fluence
the ability of two persons
to make a success of marriage.
There are several things to keep
in mind when selecting the person
who can best share a life with you.
Don't be in too much of a hurry;
go slowly, and get a prate whose
interests and purposes in life coin-cide
with yours. Go to the right
places; if you want a good dancer,
go to the dance hall; if you want
a good Christian, go to the church
or to a Christian college. Don't
list the characteristics you want
in a mate; be one of the type that
you want ,and the rule that like
attracts like will function.
To develop an attractive person-ality,
we should be courteous, have
a sense of humor, like other peo-ple,
be unselfish, and have similar
interests to those of the friend in-volved.
Pastor Powell also stated that
marriage based on anything other
than love is fraud and deception
and cannot continue successfully.
Above all, remember to submit
the whole matter to God ; He will
guide you.

For Fun, Exercise
No More Pushing of Rusted
Contraptions by NYA'ers
'Students and others on the cam-pus
last week were surprised when
they saw a big orange vehicle
bearing down on them as it putted
along. It was the new lawn mower
which the school has recently pur-chased.
Cutting a twenty-seven-inch
swath, the mower, which David
Johnson estimates can cut the en-tire
campus in about ten hours,
runs five to six hours on one gal-lon
of gasoline. It is powered by
a two and one-half horse-power
Briggs and Stratton motor and can
travel up to six miles an hour
when it is in operation.
Dean Johnson is reported to
have been out on the campus rid-ing
the mower, and Professor
Carlson states that it would be
fun to go for a buggy ride on it.
N. Y. A. students hail the mower
with joy. No more will they have
aching legs and backs from push-ing
the hand mower back and
forth over the campus! No more
will they have to sweat in the hot
summer sun as they trudge along
behind it! No more will they .. . .
Oh! skip it!
C. E. Carlson Appears
On Discussion Program
At a recent meeting of the St.
Paul Discussion Group of the Town
Meeting of the Air at the Jewish
Educational Center in St. Paul,
Professor C. E. Carlson was one of
the speakers. He was impressed
by the people who attended the
discussion group, and he especially
noticed those people who came
merely to argue against the speak-er.
The question before the group
was, "Can England Release the
Blockade and Win the War?" Pro-fessor
Carlson surprised his op-ponent
and his audience by say-ing
that England must release the
blockade if she is to win the war
for three reasotns: England can
starve the German people, but it
cannot starve the German army
because the food supplies in cen-tral
and eastern Europe are enough
to keep the armies for Many years.
To have an active fifth column on
the continent the suppressed na-tions
must get food without a Ger-man
ration card. Ultimately, to
win in the long run, England must
have a group of people on the con-tinent
sufficiently large to main-tain
a balance of power; if she

Alumni Banquet
Honors Grads
Varied Program Highlights
Annual Fete for 150 Guests
"Where there is no vision the
people perish." This biblical quo-tation
might well be used to de-scribe
the theme of the annual
Alumni Association banquet held
recently in the chapel. An opti-mistic
group of some one hundred
and fifty persons gathered around
the many candle-lighted tables,
each with a host and hostess from
the guest class of '41.
Mr. Carl Tideman, principal of
the Cokato High School, was the
main speaker of the evening. His
theme, "Dreams and Visions," was
borne out with his most excellent
suggestion. "I wish to suggest to
the men of the Alumni Association
that we undertake to furnish one
room in the new Girls' Dormitory
in honor of 'Mother.' That room
would be the quarters for the Dean
of Women, and each mother of the
women who attend Bethel would
be able to rest assured that in that
room her daughter would receive
the same attention to her prob-lems
as she would at home." This,
in brief, was the central thought of
his talk.
Several musical numbers by the
Good Fellowship Quartette were
well received by an enthusiastic
J. Gordon Peterson started the
program off by leading the entire
group in singing several appropri-ate
songs. Rev. J. G. Johnson,
president of the Alumni Associa-tion,
was toastmaster. Rev. Wy-man

gave a report showing the

What surprised Professor Carl-son
when he gave these three rea-sons
why England must release the
blockade was that none of his main
arguments were challenged in the
discussion; only his minor points
were attacked.

By Val Hauk
The Christian program has no
unemployment bureau. The Chris-tians
need not even choose to be
a servant for he is already chosen.
Then he is not only chosen, but his
is a labor of love.
The love so freely manifested on
Calvary has been shed abroad in
the hearts of those who have look-ed
to Calvary and that love has
become the motivating force in all
Christian endeavor.
Some one has said: "Some peo-ple
serve to gain salvation, some
don't serve because they have ob-tained
salvation, some serve to
keep salvation." But we would add
that the blood-bought Christian
serves because of love.
We are agreed that a man can
have works and not have faith, and
because faith is always a prece-dent
to works, he can be entirely
lost, but a man can't have saving
faith without works. Even so a
man may boast of good works and
yet be void of love, but we cannot
boast of love and be void of labor,
for love simply does things and
doeth all things cheerfully as unto
the Lord.
Love hath no bounds other than
those it itself imposes. Without
love nothing is pleasing in the
sight of God.

Either one of the competing plans from Congress's top two leaders could help resolve a potential US debt crisis. But now the question is if either one can overcome skepticism about whether it can pass and whether it will work.
One new hurdle comes from official government bean counters, who say reductions in future deficits won't be as big as advertised.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Wednesday that a plan from Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) would cut federal deficits by about $2.2 trillion over 10 years – whereas Senator Reid earlier in the week had touted $2.7 trillion in savings.
A day earlier, the CBO said a rival plan pushed by House Speaker John Boehner (R) would reduce deficits by $850 billion over the next decade, compared with Mr. Boehner's initial announcement that the plan specifies $1.2 trillion in budget savings over that time.
The news helped push Boehner back to his drawing board to revise his plan in a bid to gather needed support from his own party.
Some Republicans are rebuffing Boehner's plan, arguing that neither the House speaker nor Reid is cutting federal spending enough to restore fiscal health. On the other side, many Democrats want to reduce future deficits partly through increased tax revenues – a goal that Boehner rejects and that Reid has abandoned as impractical.
In many ways, the two plans are similar, but one key difference has opened another major rift within Congress. Republicans are ready to embrace Boehner's idea of addressing the debt problem in a two-step process, while Democrats want to vote on the issue only once before the 2012 elections, as Reid's plan calls for.
Despite all the disagreement, and the CBO's scrutiny, pressure is rising for both sides to find common ground and bring the issue to a conclusion. The US Treasury has warned that unless Congress votes to raise the current cap on federal borrowing by Aug. 2 (a vote lawmakers are linking to the deficit-cutting plans), the government will be unable to pay all its bills.
A default on US Treasury debt would be possible, and the downgrading of America's credit score all but assured, with negative consequences for interest rates and the economy.
In a closed-door meeting Wednesday, Boehner lobbied fellow Republican lawmakers in the House to support his plan.
An editorial in The Wall Street Journal echoed the speaker's case. "What none of these [Republican] critics have is an alternative strategy for achieving anything nearly as fiscally or politically beneficial as Mr. Boehner's plan," the conservative editorial page pronounced.
Backers argue that the Boehner plan would lead to more rigorous pressure to restrain federal spending than the Reid plan.
Many analysts now see one of these competing plans, or some new hybrid of the two, as the most likely way to resolve the debt impasse by Aug. 2.
For his part, Reid responded to the CBO news Wednesday with a positive spin, saying it shows that "the Senate draft bill achieves $1.3 trillion more in deficit reduction than the Boehner plan."
But an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, an independent organization focused on fiscal discpline, sees the two plans as "more similar than they are different."
Both plans called for $1.2 trillion in discretionary spending cuts to be determined up front, and neither calls for higher taxes. Both would put in place a process designed to help additional budget savings occur despite the partisan divides that often contribute to gridlock.
Boehner has said his proposal would result in $3 trillion total deficit reduction over the decade, as the initial cuts are followed by additional spending restraint via a special process this fall.
Although Reid's plan offers a one-step path toward raising the nation's debt limit, his plan also involves deciding on additional spending cuts later this year.
Both plans envision a bipartisan group of 12 lawmakers to map out the later spending cuts.
One important difference relates to enforcement. Boehner's plan would make a future rise in the debt limit contingent on further moves to reduce future deficits by $1.6 trillion, while the Reid plan lacks such a mechanism to ensure that the intended savings actually occur.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget argues that the ideal approach for getting public debt under control over the next decade would be to set a specific target for the ratio of national debt to the size of the overall economy, to ensure that legislation actually achieves the goal of stabilizing and reducing US debt.
Even if one of the two plans, Boehner's or Reid's, reaches President Obama for his signature, major uncertainties about America's fiscal future will remain.
Neither plan offers concrete ideas on how to tame the rising cost of health-care programs, mend Social Security, or reform the nation's complex tax system.

Christians Must Get Involved in Politics, Says Renowned Apologist
Author and apologist Frank Turek is tired of Christians saying they don't want to get involved in politics.
"You won't be able to preach the Gospel if you don't get involved in politics," he told attendees at First Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday. "Politics affects everything we do. The rules we set politically affect churches, finances, your children, what you can and can't do."
He spoke at Concerned Women for America's "Stand Strong Together" conference in support of Amendment 1, also known as the N.C. Marriage Amendment, set to appear on ballots May 8. If passed, the amendment will define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Turek pointed out that the church often asks, "If you were to die tonight and stand before God, what would you say?" But the real question the church should be asking is: "What happens if you don't die tonight, what are we supposed to do here?"
While he isn't discounting evangelism, he said if "you want to evangelize, you have to be sure you have political freedom to evangelize." He said that means "getting involved in politics. We're called to be salt and light; we're not called to be tax exempt."
Encouraging Christians to vote on May 8, Turek said marriage laws, like Amendment 1, address behavior. And the government, when passing laws, is typically doing one of three things – promoting, permitting, or prohibiting a behavior. In this case, the marriage amendment will promote marriage, he said.
"Marriage civilizes men and protects women; marriage is the foundation of civilization, and perpetuates and stabilizes society," Turek explained. "Everyone can get married, but if not, they still benefit from it."
If marriage is allowed to be redefined as "genderless," it will give people justification to think same-sex marriage is normal, Turek said. "The other side is trying to legislate their morality," he emphasized.
Public opinion is affected due to laws, he noted, citing the change in abortion laws in 1973. The legalization of abortion gave people intellectual justification to think abortion is fine, he explained.
Turek further argued, "Only 4 percent of homosexuals in a jurisdiction that has same-sex marriage get married. This has nothing to do with marriage, this has to do with validation and strong arm of the law, to get people to accept homosexuality. This is about validation of behavior."
When laws related to marriage are liberalized, Turek argued, it makes marriage weaker, and when marriage is weaker, the country is weakened.
The nation's deficit stems from the breakdown of the family, because financial issues are related to moral issues, he said. "When the family breaks down, the government swells to take care of issues related to breakdown of family. This includes poverty, crime, welfare, kids not being educated."
The breakdown of the family is largely due to the fact that "the church hasn't been the church," Turek said. "If the church had been the church, and had been engaged in every area of life we wouldn't have any of these problems."

Introducing Polite Provisions and Soda & Swine, coming soon to Normal Heights.
Arsalun Tafazoli and Nathan Stanton are back at it, introducing yet another innovative eats and drinks concept to our San Diego dining scene. And there's a bonus this time; the co-founders of Consortium Holdings are packing two visions into one venue on 30th and Adams in Normal Heights. Drum roll please: Polite Provisions and Soda & Swine are scheduled for a winter grand opening in December of 2012.
First, the name dropping. Back in July, we clued you into the big foodie news that Consortium Holdings named big-timer Jason McLeod executive chef, overseeing all their destination restaurants (Craft & Commerce, UnderBelly and Neighborhood). This also marked our first announcement of the 30th and Adams project, which at the time was unnamed and mysterious. Chef McLeod will drive the dining at the new two-in-one hot spot. And we'll get to the menu deets in just a few.
Tafazoli and Stanton are bringing in another bigwig to expand their local lifestyle empire. Master mixologist Erick Castro is San Diego-bound to lead the libations in Normal Heights. You should care about this bartending wiz because he is the man behind the cocktail programs at Rickhouse and Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco. Plus, he was named 'Rising Star Mixologist' by StarChefs in 2010, and his goods earned spots in Food & Wine's list of 'Worlds Best Bars,' among other accolades. So ya, I'd say he's a pretty big deal.
And even cooler, before Castro moved to 'Frisco to shake up the cocktail world in 2005, he was a humble student at SDSU. Now back in town, he's the newest member of the Consortium Holdings family. Let's just say, he's pretty excited to be here: "When I'd come back here to visit, I could see that Arsalun and Nate were nurturing something really cool — so I kept in touch with them," Castro said. "The San Diego cocktail scene is probably my favorite in the country now. They're just excited to be making really good drinks."
And now, juicy details on the dual restaurant and cocktail concept.
Polite Provisions: Get ready for a revival of classic soda fountain culture. Imagine an old-world drugstore and pharmacy, where people would gather together for conversion over a cold soda pop. Come thirsty, as the 46-tap system will pour plenty of handcrafted sodas, as well as wine and cocktails. Best of all, this spot will even serve spiked milkshakes! The 2,200 sq. ft. space will be reinvented by Paul Basile (of Craft & Commerce and UnderBelly design acclaim), and will feature "intellectually stimulating décor" to get the conversation flowing like pop. Grab a seat up close next to Castro at the bartender's chef table.
Soda & Swine: Simply put, the separate-but-equal restaurant will also channel 'Main Street America' with a straight-shooting menu consisting of meatballs and apple pie. How cute is that? But of course, McLeod will update these American traditions. You can get your meat regular or smashed, in flavors of chicken, pork or beef, with vegan alternatives. As for the pies, they will be made from scratch, showcased in glass display cases, and served with house made ice cream.

Jenny Nelson's selections from the Colloquia of ErasmusThursday, December 18th, 2003
"Colloquia familiaria: a selection" is a digital archive consisting of several colloquia by Erasmus with introductory essays, interpretive questions, notes, as well as a brief discussion of current standards in electronic publication. Created by Jennifer Nelson, a University of Kentucky graduate student in Classics and Library and Information Science, this publication was intended to serve a number of purposes: first and foremost, we wanted to introduce intermediate Latin students to Erasmus' colloquia. Beyond that, the goal was to showcase TEI-XML as a text-encoding practice that can increase the likelihood of long-term preservation of digital documents in the humanities, and that can accommodate the high standards of resource description found in library MARC (machine-readable cataloging) records. At present, this collection includes an excerpt from the initial "Formulae," plus "A Lesson in Manners," "The Girl with No Interest in Marriage," "Inns," and "The Abbot and the Learned Lady". We do invite submissions, however, as we hope that this archive will continue to grow through the contributions of other Erasmus enthusiasts. This project was completed under the editorial supervision of Jane Phillips and Ross Scaife (Classics, University of Kentucky), with additional technical advising from Joseph B. Miller (Library and Information Science, University of Kentucky). All of these materials reside in a single TEI-conformant XML file whose presentation on the web in HTML format has been effected via TEI-XSL (release 3.0).

In the fourth of a five part series on the future of mobile phones, Roland Pease explores how the "wonder material" graphene could transform phones forever.
Mobile phones that fold, razor thin handsets powered by flexible batteries or see-through solar panels built directly into a colourful screen. These visions of our mobile future may seem a world away from our rigid, fragile and power-hungry smartphones today.
But they could all soon become reality thanks to the "wonder material" known as graphene. Believe the hype and these single-atom-thick sheets of carbon could soon replace just about every material and component used in modern day smartphones, making it lighter, faster and with more bells and whistles than ever before.
If these claims seem extraordinary, then so too is the material which could make them possible. Graphene is made of a single element, carbon, arranged in a flat, unchanging crystal pattern that looks like chicken wire. Although it may sound rare and complex it is simply very thin layers of graphite – the same as found in a common pencil. In fact it's now realised that almost every stroke of a pencil leaves fragments of graphene in the shining grey trace on the paper.
It was discovered in 2004 and could be the latest addition to a long line of material advances that have made our mobile phones possible. Think about the silicon slivers into which millions of electronic components can be etched; the lithium-ion batteries that pack a day or more's worth of charge, and the low-energy light emitting diodes that can screen video in vivid colours.
What makes graphene remarkable is its ability to take on any of these roles. And what is more, it can conduct electricity better than copper, has strength greater than steel and also shows extraordinary elasticity. So great is its potential that in 2010 its discoverers Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded the Nobel prize for Physics.
Not only have thousands of scientific papers been published describing graphene's many aspects; over 7,000 patents have been issued, many on technologies that could end up in mobile phones. No wonder electronics giant Samsung has invested huge sums into developing graphene as a material for screens and electronics; Nokia is backing a billion-euro project to exploit the carbon material and IBM has started a formidable research effort.
Rolling forward
So far, the smartphone screen is where most attention has been paid publically.
The industry currently depends on a compound called indium-tin-oxide. And it's the little-known metal indium that's the problem. Demand has grown massively with the development of flat screens with global production quadrupling in the two decades to 2008. Since then production has levelled off, but the price for the metal peaked at $720 for a kilogramme in 2011, and the industry is concerned about the long-term security of supply.
To further compound the problem indium-tin-oxide is a brittle material, making it difficult to work with.
Enter graphene.
The material is cheap, see-through and critically is electrically conductive. That makes it ideal for the flat-screen displays used on smart phones that need electricity to power the optical elements, and to respond to the user touch.
Samsung and Nokia [SF: avoiding repetition of a few paras above] have already shown off concepts for "bendy" phones – such as the newly unveiled Samsung "YOUM" screen or the Nokia morph concept -with shapes unlike anything seen today. Although less extreme versions of some of these concepts may first be brought to market using more conventional technology, Nokia researchers believe that "graphene may well be one of the crucial elements of making Morph reality".
Although these kinds of concepts excite the imagination and show the possibilities of graphene, durability is where the greatest interest lies. What the industry really wants is a touch screen a user can stab thousands of times a day without fear of the electronics ever giving out. Again, that's what makes graphene so attractive.
Of course it has to be cost effective, too. As recently as 2009, it was only possible to manufacture samples of graphene that were a few centimetres across. But in 2010, Samsung-backed researchers at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea showed it was possible to create roll of metres of the material, and demonstrated it on touch-sensitive tablet screens. And since then Sony has built a machine that can create rolls of the material 100m long – claimed to be the largest sheets in the world.
Samsung have also shown they can integrate onto the graphene sheets organic light-emitting diodes– the light sources used in most smartphones. What's more the OLEDs wired up this way are more efficient and brighter than those based on indium-tin-oxide, so they'll help batteries last longer.
Print job
The same kind of science that lets graphene-based devices turn electricity into light allows the reverse to happen. As a result, there's interest in whether graphene sensors could replace the CCD cameras in your phone. And, perhaps more significantly, there's interest in whether graphene would make an efficient solar cell. Last year, a team at the University of Florida showed they could achieve 8.6% energy conversion using graphene-based cells – far behind current commercial silicon photovoltaics (which achieve around 20%), but already a factor of four better than earlier than previous attempts. And, as many point out, silicon has been under development for decades, not just a few years.
Part of the reason why researchers are so excited about graphene's potential in highly efficient solar cells was recently revealed by research done at the European Institute of Photonic Science (ICFO). Working with researchers from the US, Spain and Germany, the team was able to show that the material is able to convert a single light particle into cascades of electrons helping more light energy to be turned into current.
"In most materials, one absorbed photon generates one electron, but in the case of graphene, we have seen that one absorbed photon is able to produce many excited electrons, and therefore generate larger electrical signals," explained Frank Koppens , group leader at ICFO at the time.
Of course, having generated your electricity, you want to capture it.
And new research from the Nokia Research Labs in Cambridge, UK, shows that graphene can help there, too. A team at the labs recently describe the graphene-based rechargeable battery no thicker than a human hair (50 microns) – ideal for building into the case of a future, flexible phone.
The prototype power pack is a lithium ion battery, like most rechargeables used in electronics. These already use graphite to capture the charge from the lithium-ion reactions that generate the battery power. But the belief is that the ultrathin graphene layers can achieve a much closer contact with the lithium ions, to improve performance of the battery. This is achieved because a gram of graphene has a surface area of 2,600 square metres –the equivalent of about ten tennis courts – meaning there are more opportunities for a reaction to occur in the battery.
Currently, the very thinness of the Nokia battery limits how much charge it can hold. But other researchers have developed graphene foams, that are thicker, hold more charge, but are still completely flexible.
The prototype Nokia batteries, like the Samsung screens use graphene layers grown by condensing hot carbon vapour onto thin copper foil. It's a remarkably successful approach, but energy intensive and relatively expensive. As a result, other researchers have explored another lower-tech approach that seems to produce perfectly good material: graphene ink.
The starting material is plain old graphite that is literally shaken to pieces using ultrasound. The resulting ink is an unexceptional black. But researchers at Cambridge University, UK, have manufactured basic electronic components using this kind of graphene solution and an ordinary office ink-jet printer.
Light speed
All of these developments could play a part in the flexible future of the mobile industry. But perhaps, where graphene has caused the most excitement is within the chip industry.
For the past 50 years, the industry has been relentlessly driven by Moore's law – which states that the number of transistors that can be squeezed onto an area of silicon for a fixed price double roughly every 18 months. As a result, silicon firms continually design and manufacture electronic components of ever-shrinking size, the reason more than a billion components can be squeezed onto a chip just a centimetre or two across. But each generation of shrinkage has become harder, and how to keep going beyond the horizon three or four generations away has long been a worry.
The crystalline perfection of graphene combined with its high conductivity in principle seems to hold out the promise of electronics at close to the molecular scale. Also, electronic devices like diodes and transistors had already been made with graphene's straw-like cousin, carbon nanotubes.
But in practice, graphene doesn't offer the same degree of electronic control as silicon. You might think of it as like running a formula one race on an ice rink: with electrons able to zip through the carbon lattice at the speed of light, there is little prospect of guiding the current, turning it on and off electronically as is essential in computer chips.
But the allure is so great that a huge amount of research effort has been pushed towards future electronics, particularly at IBM and Samsung. In 2011, IBM triumphantly proclaimed the fabrication of "a wafer-scale graphene circuit … in which all the circuit components … were monolithically integrated." In plain language they had been able to manufacture useful circuitry at a size and scale normally used in the silicon industry.
The circuit was a so-called broadband radio-frequency mixer, an essential component of TVs, phones and radio but very different from the complex logic chip found at the heart of a smartphone or laptop. The circuit is generally used to convert the high frequency signals broadcast by radio stations to a lower frequency that we can hear.
The circuit exploited the high speed of electrons in graphene, something that may also make graphene ideally suited to handle the high frequencies of mobile phone transmissions – both in the receiver and in generating the signal to send out to the base station.
The IBM researchers have made graphene components that operate up to 150 GHz, well above the frequencies currently used by mobile phones, and in principle opening up new portions of spectrum for cell phone coverage and improving connectivity.
Although the IBM team declared their "results open up possibilities of achieving practical graphene technology with more complex functionality," in practice, getting the kind of data processing that goes on in silicon chips requires devising transistor circuits that can turn current on and off digitally. Nobel laureate Konstantin Novoselov has argued that despite several promising leads, it could be 2025 before large-scale integration of huge numbers of graphene components will be a reality. But by then, silicon may already have maxed out.
Hype or hope?
The list of potential uses of graphene goes on – as a replacement for the flash memory of our SD cards, or to replace the metal antennae that pick up the radio signal. But one which shows just how varied the material's properties can be is its use in the earpiece.
Conventional speakers drive sound vibrations by pumping the air. But two groups have now shown graphene can achieve the same thing using heat - much as lightning generates thunder by dramatically heating the air. The trick with graphene is that it is so thin, it takes almost no current to heat it, but equally it cools in an instant. Pumping audio-frequency currents through a sheet of graphene – going well into the ultrasound – generates sound waves without the need for any moving parts. In theory this makes devices simpler and cheaper and opens up the possibility of new applications.
The University of Texas's Ji Won Suk, who has been developing the so-called "thermophones" says "it might be fun to have a smartphone with a transparent speaker over the whole screen".
But like just about every facet of graphene, whether this neat idea ever makes it to the market will depend on many factors.
Reading the technical papers exploring its potential, you are immediately struck by the caution expressed by the scientists doing the studies. The stumbling blocks are many. And the electronics industry is ruthlessly Darwinian. We have our mobile phones because the mobile industry and the silicon industry can turn out precision-engineered components by the bucket load, and any competing technology has to be robust in the fabrication plant and in the product. And it has to be cheap. Graphene is still yet to be tested in this environment.
Nor is graphene the only new material on the block; nanowires and plastic electronics are among the competition being explored.
But, whatever the current issues with graphene, it has to be remembered that the first attempts to make electronic components out of silicon five decades back were a complete flop. History now shows that was only a temporary setback. The ability to do so much with a single material is what made silicon (through the notion of the integrated circuit) such a success in the end.
And progress with graphene has been unexpectedly rapid – the successes of the Samsung roll-to-roll production and the IBM circuit took those in the business by surprise. More surprises are surely around the corner. As Nokia researchers have cautiously said "graphene holds tremendous promise".
Whether it will deliver on these promises, only time will tell.

The Bionicon Soft Shell jacket isn't cheap at £150 but it offers a different look and good performance from a fairly expensive proofing technology. The cut is not too bike specific and the style is urban/mtb, so it's a good all-rounder
The Soft Shell fabric in this jacket features a Schoeller 3XDry treatment, which repels water from the outside of the jacket and absorbs moisture from the inside, keeping you much drier than many barrier-based systems where the sweat can bead on the inside. In terms of wicking performance it's pretty hard to fault, keeping me comfortable even on a granny ring grind up the 25% hell of Prospect Place (http://tinyurl.com/verysteep). Well, not comfortable exactly. But not clammy. Because the fabric soaks up moisture more than a layered fabric it even works pretty well next to the skin.
The material is fairly windproof but not to the extent of a membrane fabric, so it's not one for the coldest days. In the wet it's pretty good, the surface treatment keeping the rain at bay very effectively. It'll wear off after a while, especially if you need to wash it after a muddy ride through the lanes, but there's plenty of third party products from the likes of Granger's and Nikwax to spruce it up.
The back isn't dropped particularly, meaning it's better for more upright bikes than flat-out racers, and the green/brown is more for the town or the trails than the club run; it's also available in blue. The sizing is on the small side, with the XL a snug fit on me. The arms aren't over long either, so it's worth sizing up or at least trying before you buy. There's four chest pockets, arm zips for a bit of ventilation – though oddly they zip right to the ends from three quarters of the way up, rather than just round the pits – and a drawstring waist to finish everything off. There's no reflectives, which is a pity.
So who's it for? It's primarily aimed at the MTB market but there's a sizeable urban ridership these days looking for a more individual jacket, and the Bionicon mates esoteric styling with good performance in all weathers. It won't look out of place down the sushi bar either. If you're looking for something functional but not too bikey, it might be the jacket for you.
Good all purpose jacket that matches a smart look with good performance, but you'll need to dig deep

A family is sailing around the Pacific Ocean. They are on a big yacht. The trip will take them away from home for a year.
They stay in touch with family and friends by e-mail. The children send e-mail to their grandmother three or four times a week. The father is in touch with his office every day. He also gets weather information by e-mail.
E-mail on the sea takes more time than on land. The family's computer connects by a modem to a short-wave radio. The radio sends the message to the Internet. The grandmother gets the message from the Internet.
The grandmother learned to use the Internet just before she retired. She learned because of her children and grandchildren. She says e-mail makes her feel like she has been traveling with them.
Close to 8 million senior citizens use the Internet. That is two times as many as a year ago. They use it mainly to keep in touch with their families.

The documents and folders you store in OneDrive for Business are private until you decide to share them. Similarly, in a team site library, you may want to share specific documents or folders with people who don't otherwise have access to the site. When you share documents and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them.
Note You may also be able share documents with external users (people not on your network) by inviting them as "Guests," or by creating and posting guest links. For details, see Share sites or documents with people outside your organization.
Share a document by using Get a link
You can share a link to a document that others can also share by using Get a link. Get a link is available only for individual files, but it's the easiest way to share documents with everyone in your organization or to share with people externally (as long as external sharing is enabled for your sites).
- Go to OneDrive for Business or the site library that has the document you want to share.
- Right-click the document you want to share, and then select Get a link.
- Choose the type of link you want to create.
- Links for internal sharing:
- Edit link – account required People in your organization can edit, copy, or download the document.
- View link – account required People in your organization can view, copy, or download the document.
Guest links:
- Edit link – no sign-in required People outside your organization can edit, copy, and download the document.
- View link – no sign-in required People outside your organization can view, copy, and download the document.
Note If you see only a restricted link option instead of the options shown here, sharing links may be disabled or you may not have permission to use them. For information about how to enable sharing, see Video: Share a site without access request.
If you choose a no sign-in required link and you want to set the link to expire, click Set expiration, and then choose how long before the link expires, such as 30 days. Account required links don't expire and there's no option to set an expiration for those links.
- Click Copy to copy the link to the clipboard.
- Paste the link into an email and send it or post it on a website for the people you want share with.
- Links created by using Get a link are not discoverable by search, so only people who receive a link from someone else can use it.
- No sign-in required links are guest links that are ideal for external sharing. These links are available by default in Office 365, but administrators can disable external sharing for your sites. For details, see Share sites or documents with people outside your organization.
- You can remove no sign-in required links at any time in the Share dialog box mentioned in the steps above. The REMOVE link is right next to the Copy button.
- Site administrators can restrict sharing so that only owners can share files and sites. For information about how to enable sharing links, see Video: Share a site without access request.
Share a document or folder by inviting people
To share folders or to share documents when "Get a link" isn't available, you can invite people.
Go to OneDrive for Business or the site library that has the document or folder you want to share.
Right-click the file you want to share, and then select Share.
In the Share dialog box on the Invite people tab, type names or email addresses of people you want to share the document or folder with.
Select a permission setting, such as Can edit.
If you want, type a message to be included with an email that's sent to all invitees. The email includes a link to the shared document.
If you don't want to send an email, uncheck Send an email invitation.
Click Share.

Tips If the library you're working in has a Sharing column, you can select the people icon to open the Share dialog box.
Stop sharing a document or folder
To make a document or folder private again, you can stop sharing it.
Select the people icon for the document or folder to open the Share dialog box.
On the Shared with tab in the Share dialog box, select Can View or Can Edit next to the person you want to stop sharing with, and then select Stop Sharing.
To stop sharing a document with everyone at once, select STOP SHARING below the list of people you're sharing with.
Note The STOP SHARING link that removes all users at once is not available for folders. To quickly stop sharing a folder with many users or groups, try this: Click ADVANCED, use the check boxes to select the users or groups you want to remove, and then click Remove User Permissions.
Other ways to share a document or folder with everyone in your organization
In OneDrive for Business, there are more ways to share a document with everyone:
Use the Share dialog box. Follow the same steps described above for share a document or folder, but type Everyone in the Invite People box.
Create a "Shared with Everyone" folder (or one with a similar name) and place documents in that folder as you create them. To create a folder, click New > Folder. You can share the folder with people as you create it.
Note You may already have a Shared with Everyone folder that was provisioned for you.
The Share dialog box lets you select "Everyone except external users." If your organization allows external sharing, sharing with "Everyone" includes external users: people outside of your organization who have previously been invited to share documents as guests, either by you or by others in your organization.
If you have a Shared with Everyone folder that was provisioned for you, everyone gets permission to edit documents that you put in the Shared with Everyone folder, unless you change the permission setting or unless your OneDrive for Business was created before June 2014. If your OneDrive for Businesswas created before that date, the Shared with Everyone folder started with View-only permissions. You can change the permission setting any time by following the instructions for sharing a folder earlier in this article.
How do people find documents I've shared with everyone?
Documents you share with everyone don't appear in their Shared with Me view in OneDrive for Business. Why not? Consider that depending on the size of your organization, there might be hundreds if not thousands of documents that are shared with everyone. Also, you may not want to send a share invitation email to everyone in your organization.
Instead, people can find these documents by:
Following a link you send them directly in an email.
You can find any document's web URL in its document callout.
Copy and paste the URL into an email addressed to specific people you want to notify.
Using their Search box in OneDrive for Business.
In this example, Molly Dempsey searches on the keyword "Court Cases" to find any relevant documents shared with her in her organization.

During the first morning meeting of the day, several supervisors suddenly jumped up and ran out with their pagers in hand. Five fully manned Fire Department New York (FDNY) fire trucks drove up to our high-rise building. The fire-alarm system indicated smoke at a top-floor air-handler duct smoke detector (DSD). No smoke was evident, so the problem counted as a false alarm. Unfortunately, FDNY charges about $500 each time it responds to a false alarm. The firefighters reset the system, and everything appeared to be fine. We checked out the DSD, and nothing was wrong with it. It was working exactly as specified.
The system has been operating for years, but it still gets out-of-the-blue false alarms. Actually, I should say, "out-of-the-fog" alarms. The weather that morning had suddenly turned cool, causing a low-level fog. The air handler was bringing in 100-percent outside air, but was not heating it because the building still was quite warm from previous hot weather.
An optical smoke detector also acts as a fog detector. With fog, the DSD manufacturer's 90-percent relative-humidity maximum inlet rating is exceeded, and the unit can alarm at any time. Some manufacturers put heaters in their DSDs to help them stay above the dew point. However, when the weather swings, there still can be trouble.
That building should have humidity control on the outside-air intake, but it does not yet fit the budget or the air-handling unit. However, a newer building nearby has full humidity control on its outside-air air-handling unit. Because of piping and duct restrictions, the humidifier could not be installed in the duct where indicated on the plans. After being relocated, it is a few feet upstream from the DSD "fog detector." This installation works most of the time. As long as the humidity stays in range, there is no problem. Fortunately for the owner, that building's fire-alarm system is not required to dial directly to FDNY.
Experience has proved that high humidity in a duct can cause more than mold and water damage. It can bring fire-department responders and citations, too.

With all the kids tucked into their beds, I make one last round to ensure their slumber is real and not just a ploy to get me to let my guard down. With eyes closed on all three accounts, I head toward my bedroom to meet an old friend. A confidant that existed in a time when wearing tight jeans was by choice, shaved legs were a priority and life was fueled by a plethora of energy. I climb into bed with my laptop, engross myself in an episode of Sex and the City while plunking my eyebrows and other unwanted facial hair. This is when she makes her appearance – a single girl alter ego that brings a warm familiar feeling that only accompanies seeing an old friend. She can also be conjured while driving alone at night with music of her day blaring, summoning flashbacks of cruising with the car at capacity.
Despite the lengthy interludes between meetings, I know this girl. She is confident, knows what she wants and is optimistic that she will get it. But she is not fearless – one close encounter with a chicken or a child yelling mom in any language and she makes her exit. She is then replaced with the more dominant frumpy-sweatpants wearing-it's just a chicken-super poop wiper persona. Super poop wiper exists in a time where wearing tight jeans isn't a choice, shaved legs are a thought when considering a skirt-skip it wear the jeans and where energy comes in a can.
The two personas are mortal enemies at best and, therefore, cannot coexist. Super poop wiper often makes attempts to demolish the single girl alter ego but, forever resilient, she continues to linger in the shadows waiting to emerge through a song or childless moment and make me feel human again.
For most of us SAHMs, our single girl persona was pushed out with our first child; however, she continues to dawdle in the depths of chaos and in order to maintain an identity outside of children, we have to let her back in. Twice a week channel this alter ego by doing something you used to do as a single girl (minus the dating). Take a drive, close yourself in your room for some extensive grooming or visit an old friend.

I know. I've blogged about this one before. But it is definitely worth mentioning again. THE WENCHOSTER CATHEDRAL HYMN BOOK takes a good-natured pop at some of the church's favourite hymns. How about Church of Alpha, to the tune "Dundee"
O Church of Alpha, by whose word,
House groups are filled with food.
To fill their hearts and minds with faith,
A tactic rather shrewd.
Perhaps the Australian classic What a mate we have in Jesus will "tickle your fancy"? Or maybe The church's main foundation will be your thing.
My favourite is the delightfully camp I danced in the chancel
I danced in the chancel when the service began,
And I danced to the altar when the offert'ry was sung,
I waltzed to the Sanctus, and the Agnus Dei,
And leaped up the nave crying, "Oooh I say!"
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
Dance in the pulpit and the sacristy,
I'll lead you on, whenever you agree,
For I love to mince in the liturgy!

- Dakar
Senegal Travel Information
The Basics
Local time is GMT.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Round two-pin attachment plugs are in use.
The official language is French, but there are six other national languages spoken, including Wolof, which is the most widely used, as well as numerous other dialects.
Larger hotels and restaurants usually include a service charge of 10 to 15 percent. Taxi drivers are not usually tipped.
Safety Information
Most visits to Senegal are trouble-free, but street crime and pick-pocketing, especially in Dakar, are common. Visitors are advised to conceal valuables from the public eye. Travel by road in the Casamance region west of Kolda is unsafe due to the activities of separatist rebel groups and bandits, and should be avoided.
Local Customs
The majority of the population is Muslim and it is generally a conservative society where dress and behaviour should be modest, especially outside the main tourist areas. Public displays of affection between men and women should be avoided, and acts of homosexuality are illegal. Drunkenness is offensive. Religious customs should be respected, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan when eating, drinking, and smoking are prohibited by the Muslim faith; visitors should avoid eating and drinking in public during this time.
In Senegal, it is expected of the visitor to dress formally. Greetings are very important in Senegal and the visitor must ensure that every member at the meeting is greeted and acknowledged at least once. The shaking of hands is the standard greeting for men and women in business. It is a good idea to be punctual even if the host is not. Meetings can often take longer than anticipated and patience may prove a virtue. Business is usually conducted in French and a translator may be needed, although many Senegalese businessmen will know some English. It is important to find out beforehand how the contacts are to be addressed. Business hours are generally 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday with an hour taken over lunch.
The international dialling code for Senegal is +221. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0027 for South Africa). No city/area codes are required. Senegal's telephone system is one of the most developed in Africa, and there are numerous telephone centres for making both local and international calls. Mobile phone operators provide GSM 900 cell phone coverage. Cybercafes offer Internet connections in the main cities.
Duty Free
Travellers to Senegal over 18 years do not have to pay duty on 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250g tobacco or tobacco products; 1 bottle of perfume for personal use; gifts to the value of CFA 5,000; and one bottle of spirits.

I've read a couple of articles over the last few weeks which lead to me believe the situation in Afghanistan is changing towards being more pro-Pakistan.
What do you think?
Positives from visit of Aghan President to Afghanistan - http://www.dawn.com/...ith-afghanistan
Afghanistan foreign policy Pak/China focused - http://ibnlive.in.co...a/514036-2.html
Meanwhile there also seems to be a potential of change for rhetoric in Pakistan
Musharraf warns of Proxy war with India in Afghanistan - http://www.dawn.com/news/1145291
Sartaj Aziz: Pakistan shouldn't target militants who aren't a threat to Pakistan - http://www.dawn.com/news/1145135
Even Karzai seems to be trying to sound inportant saying Afghanistan doesn't need Indian boots on the ground - http://www.dawn.com/...its-soil-karzai
I think every day we don't engage Afghanistan in a positive manner is a day wasted. We should not put our Eggs in the Taliban basket alone, it will never work as a policy. Our ties with Afghanistan should be deeper than on a government by government basis. Regardless of who is in charge in Afghanistan, we should endeavour to facilitate trade, development and basic training in Afghanistan. Give the Afghans means to be Farmers, builders, drivers, nurses, whatever we can help with or can facilitate others to help with. Governments come and go, the people always remain, or ties should be deepest with them.

Jason Biggs apologises for Malaysia Airlines crash joke
Actor JASON BIGGS has apologised for making an ill-advised joke about the latest Malaysia Airlines flight disaster after coming under fire from angry followers.
Flight MH17 crashed in the Ukraine on Thursday (17Jul14) after taking off in Amsterdam, Holland bound for the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.
Multiple reports suggest the jet, which was carrying 295 people, was shot down.
Shortly after news of the incident broke, Biggs took to Twitter.com and wrote, "Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?"
He added, "In all seriousness, tho (though)- HOW DO YOU MISTAKENLY SHOOT DOWN A COMMERCIAL PLANE?! Ugh... It's saddest for the victims and their families, obviously. But Malaysia Airlines is apparently a GREAT airline. Gonna be tough to recover."
After a barrage of tweets from angry followers poured in, the American Pie star took to the micro-blogging site hours later to offer his apologies for the posts.
He wrote, "Hey all- ok, so- I am deleting my previous tweets. People were offended, and that was not my intent. Sorry to those of you that were.
"This is obviously a horrible tragedy, and everyone-including myself- is sad and angry about it. Sending positive thoughts to the victims and their families.
"P.S. No one is making me send these tweets- I simply understand that my comments might have come off as insensitive and ill-timed. For that, I apologize."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic will join Conference USA, leaving the Sun Belt as part of the ever-changing college landscape.
Conference USA announced the addition of its new members Thursday, just two days after Tulane and East Carolina left Conference USA for the Big East even with East Carolina just leaving in football.
``These are two great universities in wonderful places that have made strong commitments to athletics, and we're excited about the potential they bring to the conference,'' C-USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky said.
The two new members joining Conference USA by 2014 will give the league 14 schools in 10 states.
Middle Tennessee President Sidney McPhee called Thursday a ``historic day'' noting that universities have been in ``constant movement'' to align themselves. The Blue Raiders have won eight all-sports Sun Belt trophies in 12 years, and McPhee said their desire is to compete with the best.
``I've been told when the invitation was made that Conference USA has had their eyes on us for a number of years and a number of institutions have been very impressed by the progress of this university,'' McPhee said.
Florida Atlantic caps a move from Division I-AA and puts the Owls in the league with rival FIU, which joins C-USA in 2013. FAU, with 28,000 students, opened a 29,419-seat football stadium on campus 13 months ago.
``This is a momentous day in the history of Florida Atlantic University,'' Florida Atlantic athletic director Pat Chun said.
Adding these two schools helps C-USA with two years left on its television deals with Fox and CBS.
Middle Tennessee has the most undergraduate students at a Tennessee university and is located 30 miles southeast of Nashville puts C-USA into a media market ranked 29th nationally and its fourth Top 30 market. Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton puts the league into the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market, which ranks 38th in the country.
Banowsky said C-USA may not be done expanding.
Western Kentucky, a longtime rival of Middle Tennessee's in both the Ohio Valley Conference and Sun Belt, and New Mexico State could become C-USA members. But the commissioner said he would not discuss specifics.
Middle Tennessee athletic director Chris Massaro was more than happy to talk.
His university announced the move in its new $65 million student union building. The pep band and cheerleaders were on hand with a new banner featuring the C-USA logo. The crowd included plenty of graduates from the days when Middle Tennessee competed in Division I-AA and was in the OVC. Massaro pointed to the new $30 million education building that just opened near a $147 million science building being built across the square.
``What we're doing is mirroring the growth of the entire institution,'' the AD said.
What remains to be determined is how quickly both schools start competing in C-USA.
The Sun Belt recently added a $1 million exit fee, and Massaro said the Blue Raiders could switch conferences sooner than July 1, 2014, if it works for both the Sun Belt and C-USA.
Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson said he was disappointed in the two schools leaving but that his league is very well positioned for the future.
``I remain very optimistic that the momentum that has been created in the past six months will continue to grow,'' Benson said. ``The continuing 10 members of the SBC are committed to excellence and I am confident that the SBC will take advantage of these latest changes in the landscape. As I have stated many times in the past six months, the SBC will be a major player in the future, especially within its geographic footprint.''
It's unlikely this is the last of conference realignment.
With several Conference USA members leaving that league for the Big East, and now that Sun Belt members are heading to C-USA, fans need to stay tuned.
``There are several outstanding universities that have indicated interest in joining the SBC,'' Benson said. ``While we have conducted research on these universities in the past six months, we will now focus on identifying the ones that will be the best `fit.' for the conference.''
Conference USA already had lost Memphis, Houston, Central Florida and SMU to the Big East earlier this year, prompting the league to add Charlotte, Florida International, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Old Dominion and Texas-San Antonio starting in 2013. Middle Tennessee tried to join C-USA in that round of expansion and just missed out.
The Big Ten started up realignment again Nov. 19 by luring Maryland from the Atlantic Coast Conference followed by Rutgers leaving the Big East a day later. The ACC replaced Maryland with Louisville on Wednesday. The Big East landed Tulsa on Tuesday in all sports with East Carolina leaving Conference USA in football only.
Banowsky called the continuing realignment disturbing and volatile. He said it destroys rivalries, creates distrust among universities with all the ``commercial influence'' on conferences. But there is no avoiding it.
``They're strong forces, and so change may be the new norm in our industry,'' the C-USA commissioner said.
