Inflammatory Breast Cancer
(IBC; Inflammatory Carcinoma of the Breast; Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma)
Risk Factors
- Being a woman (Men can also get breast cancer.)
- Personal history of breast cancer
- Family members with breast cancer
- Changes in breast tissue
- Changes in certain genes
Increased exposure to estrogen over a lifetime through:
- Starting menstruation at an early age
- Starting menopause at a later age
- Not having children or having children later in life
- Not breastfeeding
- Taking hormone replacement therapy for long periods of time (eg, Prempro for more than four years)
- Tobacco use
- Increased breast density
- Radiation therapy before the age of 30 years
- Overuse of alcohol
- Rapid change in the size, shape, or feel of one breast (can occur over days or weeks)
- Discoloration of the breast; breast may appear red, purple, pink, or bruised
- An area of the breast that looks like the skin of an orange
- Thickened areas of skin
- Breast feels warm to the touch
- Changes in the nipple, such as flattening, turning in, retracting, or areola color change
- Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm or above or below the collarbone
- Itching
- Breast pain
- Biopsy (excisional or skin)—a sample of tissue is removed and examined for cancer cells
- PET scan —to look for any sign of the cancer outside of the breast
- Hormone receptors
- HER2 gene—suggests an aggressive form of cancer
- Anthracyclines (eg, doxorubicin or epirubicin )
- Taxanes (eg, paclitaxel or docetaxel )
- Antimetabolites (eg, capecitabine )
- Lumpectomy (may also be called tylectomy or quadrantectomy)—removal of the breast cancer and some normal tissue around it (Often, some of the lymph nodes under the arm are also removed.)
- Segmentectomy—removal of the cancer and a larger area of normal breast tissue around it
- Simple mastectomy —removal of the breast, or as much of the breast as possible (The surgeon will try not to remove lymph nodes.)
- Radical mastectomy—removal of the breast, chest muscles, the lymph nodes under the arm, and some additional fat and skin (This procedure is only considered in rare cases. It is done if the cancer is found in the chest muscles.)
- Modified radical mastectomy—removal of the whole breast, the lymph nodes under the arm and, often, the lining over the chest muscles
- Axillary lymph node dissection—removal of the lymph nodes under the arm (This will help find any cancer cells that have entered the lymphatic system.)
- External radiation therapy—radiation directed at the breast from a source outside the body
- Internal radiation therapy—radioactive materials placed into the breast in or near the cancer cells
Hormone receptors—some cancers have hormone receptors attached to them. Certain drugs can target these receptors to help control or eliminate the cancer. This hormone therapy may include drugs such as:
- Tamoxifen
- Aromatase inhibitor
HER2—Cancers with the HER2 gene tend to be more aggressive. Drugs that may be effective against HER2-positive cancer include:
- Trastuzumab (Herceptin)
- Lapatinib (Tykerb)
- Women aged 20 or older may perform a breast self-exam (BSE) every month. Report any changes to your doctor right away.
Women aged 20-39 should have a clinical breast exam by a health professional every three years. Starting at age 40, women should have a clinical breast exam every year.
- A breast exam should be done more regularly if there is a family history or there have been previous breast biopsies.

By Kim Hasty
DUNN - It was a big undertaking for the 24 members of Just-a-Mere Garden Club.
And an equally big undertaking for the 11-year-old grandson of the club's vice president.
After a year's hard work and planning, the garden club plans to host the dedication ceremony Saturday at 10 a.m. for the state's newest Blue Star Memorial Marker. It will be just off U.S. 13 for all to see on their way to Jacksonville, Goldsboro, New Bern and other points east.
Members of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post will attend. So will American Legion members. Boy Scouts from Troop 319 will present the colors. Eagle Scout Jarrett Jackson will lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
After a few words from various speakers and the unveiling of the new memorial, Joy Spell will sing "God Bless America.''
And then it will be Graham West's turn.
Graham is a sixth-grader who took up learning to play the trumpet just last August upon joining the band at Max Abbott Middle School in Fayetteville.
But when his grandmother Sybil West said she needed someone to play taps at the closing of Saturday's ceremony, Graham agreed to learn.
"We talked about the fact that it deserves reverence,'' said Graham's dad, Greg West. "And he'll be wearing his Boy Scout uniform.''
Graham had the benefit of his dad's musical background - Greg West played trombone in high school - and he watched several renditions of the song.
In the end, however, it was up to him to settle on the appropriate speed, just the right tone for the haunting and eloquent song that dates to the Civil War.
"He said it wasn't all that difficult to learn,'' Greg West said. "It doesn't have that many notes.
"It's just the fact, that you're by yourself,'' he said.
A tall order, indeed, for one so young.
And a tall order for the Just-a-Mere Garden Club, which has been in existence since 1936. They managed the endeavor with the help of grants from the Woodmen of the World and South River Electric's Operation Roundup. The North Carolina Department of Transportation agreed to help with some of the landscaping.
Members Dorothy Warren and Eloise Warren, who are neighbors but aren't related, will do the unveiling. Each has been a member of the club for more than 70 years.
Everything is finally ready. Everything, that is, that could be controlled and planned.
"It has taken a year,'' Sybil West said. "I just hope the weather cooperates.''

A familiar yet different face will be in the dugout next month when the Sydney Blue Sox start their fourth Australian Baseball League campaign.
Former assistant coach Jason Pospishil will take over from Glenn Williams as manager after a coaching reshuffle.
Though the goals and team culture have changed, Pospishil said it's his team familiarity which will be one of his biggest strengths.
''I know the squad and I know the areas we have to improve on to win the championship,'' Pospishil said.
He played as a utility player with the Minnesota Twins affiliates in the minor leagues.
It's this experience he's hoping to draw on to better educate the Blue Sox's young baseballers and transform the team into a championship contender.
''There's five professional players on our books who are all under 18s,'' Pospishil said.
''When you add in our three new import players we've strengthened our squad for the coming season.
''We'll be looking to go further into the finals then our qualifying series finish last year.''
Coming into the Blue Sox squad will be Detroit Tigers Florida State League pitcher James Robbins and Minnesota Twins minor leagues players Tyler Herr and JaDamion Williams.
Australian representative baseballers Trent Oeltjen and Ryan Rowland-Smith will also play for the Blue Sox this season in a four-game series.
The Blue Sox have a three-match warm-up series against the Australian national team on October 26 to 28.
They travel to Canberra on November 2 for round one of the Australian Baseball League.

Tempting Teriyaki Chicken Stew Recipe
I created this dish that combines two of my favorite tastes, salty and sweet. I'm always looking for new ideas for my slow cooker and this one's a keeper! — Amy Siegel, Clifton, New Jersey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken on both sides. Place vegetables in a 4-qt. slow cooker; add chicken. In a small bowl, mix the preserves, maple syrup, teriyaki sauce, ginger and cayenne; pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and vegetables to a platter; keep warm.
- Transfer cooking liquid to a small saucepan. Skim fat. Bring cooking liquid to a boil. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into pan. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken and vegetables. Yield: 6 servings.

This is way too sweet for me. As for my husband, he made no comment. So I don't think I would use this recipe again.
Reviewed May. 7, 2013
I threw everything in over my 30 min. lunch break so I skipped browning the thighs. I substituted the 1/2 cup syrup for 1/2 cup honey. I also used Wondra flour instead of cornstarch to avoid the "gloopy" gravy texture.
It had A LOT of flavor. I'll probably serve this over rice or noodles next time.
Reviewed Nov. 25, 2012
Really easy, with ingredients I usually have in my kitchen. It was a bit salty for our taste, but I think a low sodium teryaki sauce would do the trick.
Reviewed Nov. 19, 2012
This is pretty delicious, its really sweet. No need for dessert after this for dinner.
Reviewed Oct. 3, 2012
This is my husband's new favorite. We think it has outstanding flavor and it easy to make.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers said one person died in a motorcycle crash in southwest Colorado Springs Thursday morning.
According to officers, a car hit the motorcycle at the intersection of Cheyenne Road and Lake Avenue around 11:30 a.m.
The rider died.
Eastbound traffic on Lake Avenue was being rerouted to Venetucci Boulevard at Cheyenne Road, and westbound traffic at Lake was stopped at I-25.
All roads have since reopened.
Officers haven't released any names or information about the crash yet.
Thursday's accident is the latest in a string of fatalities that made El Paso County the highest in the state for motorcycle fatalities last year.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2011 there were 43 vehicular fatalities in the county, 14 of which involved a motorcycle.
There is no definite reason why the county's numbers were high but our long ride season does play a factor.
"The great weather we have, we do see a lot of riders out and we do have a higher number of fatalities. I believe we had four motorcycle fatalities last weekend alone in the state," Heather Halpape, spokesperson with the Colorado Dept. of Transportation said.
The accidents are so prevalent CDOT has reached out out riders and local drivers with a campaign called "Live To Ride."

Stem up to first bolt and clip before moving onto slab (under 5'8" may find this difficult). Slab moves to small tree above then traverse left to second bolt. Traverse further left to where wide right-leaning crack meets thinner left-leaning crack. Make a couple of moves up into left-leaning crack before heading straight up to chickenheads. Two more bolts are found higher up the face in areas short on slingable chickenheads.
On lower-angle side of Owl Rock. Rap off overhanging side 90 degrees clockwise from route
4 bolts + gear
The route faces southeast. The start is tucked behind a huge boulder that makes up one side of the starting stem. There is a 4th bolt, among the chickenheads/plates about 15 feet below the summit. The following gear is enough to keep almost any leader happy, seriously: -- One set of wired nuts. -- One #4 Camalot (for the first wide crack you pass; a #3 can be made to work if you're skilled). -- One #2 Camalot (for a crack about half way up, just after pulling the crux). -- Some trad-length slings (for slinging chickenheads and smoothing out the rope line). There are two pairs of bolts on the summit, but only one has rappel chains. Rappel toward the southwest. One rope is all you need for the rap. It looks like a 50m rope would suffice.
This is a very nice climb, but I found it a bit sandbagged; for shorter individuals the opening move is not 5.9 but, rather, more like 5.10a/b. and, the move at the diagonal crack (after the first bolt) is also more like 5.10a/b. For gear, I would also suggest small to medium Aliens to protect (one of) the crux move(s) [establishing one-self onto the plates/jugs above the diagonal crack].
Good intro to stronghold climbing, esp. runnering chickenheads. I'm 5'8 and thought the opening moves up and onto the slab were manageable.
I used different size gear than the previous poster, 000, .75, and #1 camalot, and a #2 nut. Whatever you use I'm sure you'll want more than what is recommended in the Rock Climbing Arizona Falcon guide, which only recommends slings and quickdraws.
You can manage with a set of nuts and small cams too. Right after the #4 camalot placement, you go up and right one move and get into a tasty fingercrack with good locks and stoppers. I placed nothing larger than 2". As well, the top can be done directly with only moderate difficulty and less wandering than following the bolts. I was going directly up and looked over left and below for a footr when I saw the bolts in the distance (past). You just don't need them. A 70M rope will get you down the front with the chains pulled forward and you can clean your own gear with maybe 2 meters of mellow downclimbing at the ends of the rope.
I lead this route in March 2007. The weather that weekend was iffy to say the least. I would bet we were the only ones anywhere in the park that weekend. We had been rained and lightninged off pitch 3 of Peacemaker the day before but tried this one the next morning while it was sunny. Heavy clouds blew in while I was belaying Jay from the top, and when he was about 10 feet below me it started to drizzle. I lowered him, and by the time I was setting up my rap, it was blowing about 30 mile per hour freezing gusts in driving hail and rain. I couldn't see more than 3 feet in front of me and was soaked through, couldn't feel my hands to thread my rope in my ATC or work the screw gate on the biner. You can see how exposed the top is from the photos. Was praying for no more lightning. It took about 24 hours to warm up. Great route though. A must-do for the area.
We had some serious rope twistage/stickage after the free-hanging rap. The basic rap is vertical of course. We then continued down to skiers left to the ground before pulling the knotted doubles; knot was on uphill side of anchor. Rope pulled maybe 10 feet before becoming seriously stuck. I suspect that pulling off to the side drug the knot across the rock and wrapped it up tight in the other strand.
This route is really fun. There is no gear, besides slings, between the large ledge and the 3rd bolt. The move to reach the 3rd bolt may be a bit heady if you are not yet used to trusting slung shallow chickenheads. It requires you to make 1 slab style move to reach the bolt. Also, when you reach the top and look in the large hole, you will know why it's called owl rock!
You can lower off of this with a 70, watch rope drag
Great fun route and a must do anytime in the area. Casual walk to the formation and super fun. My experience brings the following.... I was prepared for the first bolt to be a reach (thanks DAS) but not that it is a spinner, which required me to move even closer to clip it. I protected the finger crack (just above the first bolt) with a .5 camalot and an extended sling. Moving beyond the 2nd bolt was the crux IMO. I used a 3.5 camalot to protect the large crack before moving left even though it was only a foot or so away from the 2nd bolt. I extended a the sling on this as well to avoid drag. The upper section which is predominantly climbing chicken heads is fun and easy compared to the 1st half of the route which is really the "business" section. The main anchor has chains of which you can rap easily with a 70m cord (and likely a 60m to the ledge). There is a second set of anchors slightly back and climbers left from the first set but the provide hangers only, no rings or chains. Perhaps these are best used for the 5.12 route up the steep back side. Superb! Loved the EFR hang tags at the bolts....history is fun. ~Susan
We added a rap ring and a carabiner (with screw links) to the hangers on the "backside" of Owl Rock's summit this past weekend. I was leery to rap the Nightcrawler route (with our 70m rope) fearing the rope might get stuck on a feature on the route. Clean rap and pull on the "backside".
as of 3/1/09 there is a bees nest in a crack on the left side of the formation. you cant miss the noise when you rap off the back. I didnt stick around to see what kind of bees they were but I did have to pull the rope pretty close to them.
Rack for this climb: Standard rack with a variety of small to medium aliens, slings to tie off an occasional chickenhead, and two full-strength beekeeper suits.
I just climbed this on the 22nd, (March 2009) and I didn't hear or see any bees. But maybe I missed them.
Oh sweet god of stone and sky /// This route is fantastic. Bring up a set of nuts, it may give you some peace of mind before slinging the first chicken head(s). I would suggest bringing some double length runners.
First bolt clip is intense for those 5'6"! If it wasn't a spinner, it wouldn't be so bad, but when you are stretched out at your max on tippy toes in that scary stem 30 feet above the ground, the edge of the biner just keeps pushing the damn hanger away. My partners kept telling me to just make the move onto the face and clip, but I don't care so much for highball boulder moves above a pinball landing zone, so finally a friend taped open another draw and threw it up to me: problem solved once I didn't have to push against the hanger to open the gate! The first half of the route is kinda heady in general. I made do with a #3 Cam after the second bolt, but a #4 would truly be better to take.
I was there mid october 2010 and there was definitely a bee nest there. It's off route so if you lower/rap on-route you should be fine.
Climbed nightstalker last week and we rappeled off the back with one 60 meter rope to the ledge. The swarm of bees were still there to the right of the rapel.
Still bees around the corner of this climb. I think the rating of this climb should be harder when bees are present... at least give it a PG-13. I mean come on, those bees are scary.
This was a lot of fun. I placed a #0.5 a bit above the first bolt, then a #4, a #2, and a few slung chickenheads above that. The technical crux is up higher, but the most intense move is probably clipping that first bolt.
Climbed this on Oct 21, 2012 and saw no evidence of bees. A great climb with lots of variety and some thoughtful moves. I did not bring the #4, but wish I would have, as the move onto the left face felt pretty committing with out it.
You can TR the route with a 60 if you... 1. extend the anchors with slings below the lip to reduce rope drag. 2. have the belayer scramble ten feet up the 4th class slab on the left of the climb when lowering. 3. tie a knot in the end of your rope. 4. are psyched you have just or are about to climb an awesome route! Still have to rap off the back after cleaning though.
Hey Ryan, if the weather is nice just belay from the top and lower the second, third, etc. Much cleaner setup and you can enjoy the top for longer. :)
Be careful if you do this route - There is an aggitated bee's nest to the left of the belay in the second book. You should not have issues rappelling, however, the route used in a TopRope scenario stirred them up! Great route and a great send!

Ants Defend Trees from Elephants
I'm beginning to think that elephants are pretty wimpy creatures, especially for ones their size. First came the Mythbusters (video below), who demonstrated that elephants might really be afraid of little white mice. And now there's a study in Current Biology showing that ants deter elephants from munching on acacia trees.
Biologists Jacob Goheen, of the University of Wyoming, and Todd Palmer, of the University of Florida, noticed that African elephants avoided eating Acacia drepanolobium trees—which host to a variety of symbiotic ant species—but not other types of acacia. When the scientists removed the ants from the A. drepanolobium trees, the elephants chowed down. But when the trees harbored ants, Palmer says, "the elephants avoided those trees like a kid avoids broccoli."
The ants are effective guardians for the acacia trees because underneath their tough hides, elephants are pretty sensitive: the insides of an elephant's trunk has a lot of nerve endings. (Giraffes, though, aren't deterred by the ants. They just flick the insects away with their tongues.)
These insect defenders might be having an even larger effect on the African savanna ecosystem, the scientists say. When there are enough elephants around, they can destroy so many trees that they convert wooded areas into open grassland. The ants may be preventing that. "It really is a David-and-Goliath type of story," says Palmer. "These little ants are up against these huge herbivores, protecting trees and having a major impact on the properties of the ecosystems in which they live."

The fact that the elephant(s) move to avoid the uncovered mice does not necessarily prove that the elephants are afraid of the mice. One other plausible scenario is that the elephants do not want to crush, or perhaps not even touch, the mice, and stepping away from them accomplishes this. Maybe they are trying to take care of the mice?!
They avoid the mice because they do not want to get these animals up their trunks or in their breathing area.

that lady gaga is a man
That every major war was preplanned behind the scenes, and countless millions have lost lives in the name of presumably money and power. Not just the fact that mass population control was used to influence the course of these wars, but the fact that so many people blindly fought and died for a cause that was neither real or good.
Quote:How did the priest get a hold of such a fantastic machine? According to what he told Brune, he had been working with a Father Agostino Gemelli at the Catholic University of Milan trying to filter harmonics out of Georgoian chants when they heard the voice of Gemelli's late father speaking to them on the wire recorder they were using (Gemelli later confirmed this incident). This got the priest thinking about what happened to all the sights and sounds humans make. Did they disappear completely or do they continue to exist in some way? Ernetti approached some eminent scientists and assembled a team to work on the project. The group inclided Enrico Fermi (one of the designers of the first atomic bomb) and Wernher von Braun (the German rocket scientist).
Some folks have at least one. Everyone else has more.

The photon belt one was pretty good, where the Earth was going to enter a belt of such intense light that it would even be brightly lit underground. That one's been around several times. The first time I heard it, around 1990, I even knew people who were buying welding goggles and carrying them around so they could put them on and find their way to shelter when we entered the photon belt. But probably my favorite was that Aspartame was one-half of a binary drug, and that when martial law was declared, helicopters would fly over the cities spraying the other half of the drug, that when combined with Aspartame, would turn people into obedient zombies.
Hard question. At the moment all I can think of is the worlds biggest hoax, and that is your government is trustworthy xD
That a certain midget was building a telescope in rainy Florida so that hundreds...No, thousands...Tens of thousands....of the faithful could use it to see Planet X. I kid you not.

Rachel Welte is the Weekend News Anchor and a General Assignment Reporter.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Chick-fil-A made headlines Wednesday, and the story had the entire nation talking.
It all started last month when the company's president, Dan Cathy, told a newspaper the restaurant chain was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family."
That statement has since unleashed a torrent of criticism from gay rights groups and others.
In response, several groups, organizations and even cities have called for boycotts to block the chain from opening new stores around the nation.
On the flip side, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a baptist minister, declared Wednesday "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day."
Southern Colorado residents lined up all day at the five restaurant locations in Colorado Springs in support of the company.
Many said they back Dan Cathy and his comments.
"I came out to support Chick-fil-A, someone who believes in God and the principals and values it says in the bible," Ashley Rasmussen, a Chick-fil-A supporter, said.
"We support what Chick-fil-A is doing, and we want to stand behind them in that," Bryce Rasmussen, a Chick-fil-A supporter, said.
Meanwhile gay rights groups, and many others said the restaurant chain is promoting inequality.
"One thing I think is interesting is that they are using what we want, equality for all the other issues we deal with," Charles Irwin, Executive Director of Colorado Springs Pride, said.
Irwin said if anything, the L.G.B.T. community wants Chick-fil-A's owners to know there are repercussions for supporting discrimination.
"Right now they might have a lot of support, but in the long run I think it will hurt this company as well as any other company that supports discrimination," he said.
Right or wrong, there is one thing most people agreed on, and that is freedom of speech.
"People love this country and moved to this country to believe what they want to believe," Rasmussen said.
"It is our right as Americans," Irwin said. "Freedom of speech to say 'I do not wish to spend money at this organization because they support discrimination with the way they spend their money.'"
Opponents of the company are now planning a "Kiss more chiks" day this Friday.
They are encouraging people of the same sex to kiss each other at one of the restaurants.
Chick-fil-A meantime released a statement that read:
"Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day was not created by Chick-fil-A. We appreciate all of our customers and are glad to serve them at anytime. Our goal is simple: to provide great food, genuine hospitality and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."

Just one of those kinda movies I'd only want to see once, unlike Pretty Woman 64 times now....lol and the Bodyguard 33....lol
Then heard these young teens talking about how good the movie, The Cabin in the Woods was, so I thought okay we'll take a chance on it, OMG Blood, Guts, Gore, and whatever else. Not my idea of a vacation,* note to self cancel cabin in Tahoe this year *

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But with a year left to run on his Leicester contract a transfer fee needed to be agreed to complete the deal.
And Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal has revealed that a deal has not been signed and that the Italian prop forward, who has 95 international caps, will not be playing in France next season.
"Martin Castrogiovanni is not within our means, it is clear," Boudjellal told local newspaper La Provence.
"When we do not have sufficient finances to hire a player, we do not. RCT cannot afford Castrogiovanni. The case is closed: Castrogiovanni will not play in Toulon."
For Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill the ongoing war of words could easily present a distraction ahead of the two side's clashing in the Heineken Cup quarter finals this weekend.
But the former England international insists that all focus is on the match, particularly Castrogiovanni who has been a Tiger for seven years.
"Simon Cohen (Tigers chief executive) went to Toulon a couple of months ago and spoke to Mourad face to face," said Cockerill.
"They had a discussion and, in principle, did a deal that everyone was happy with. That has not changed at all – neither ethically or financially and now this statement (from Toulon) gets put out.
"Whether it is part of negotiating tactics from them or not, I don't know. It might be (mind games) but it doesn't affect us and Castro's attitude has been fantastic."

Gina M. EoscoCommunication Research Associate Phone: (202) 737-9006, ext. 9822 Fax: (202) 737-9050 Gina Eosco is a Communication Research Associate for the American Meteorological Society's Policy Program where she conducts research on the effectiveness of hazard and weather messages with a specific focus on visuals. In addition, Gina is a graduate student at the University of Oklahoma working on a PhD in Communication. Her research interests include the application of risk, science, and visual communication theories to weather, climate, and natural hazards, as well as the intersection between science communication and action, i.e., policy decisions, evacuation decisions, etc. Her current research is on scientific translation through visuals focusing on how scientific objectives of a graphic may or may not translate to public understanding of science and accurate risk assessments. In particular, she is using hurricane track graphics as a case study to see how forecasters prioritize and convey weather information. Her next steps include a study of how the public interprets these graphics, and then an analysis of forecasters' objectives compared to the public understanding of the graphic. Continuing her passion for weather, Gina is an active member of the AMS. She is a member of the Board on Enterprise Communication, as well as a member on the Committee for Forecast Uncertainty. She has also served on the AMS Student Conference Planning committee since 2005. In addition, she was a 2005-2006 Weather and Society*Integrated Studies(WAS*IS) Fellow where she completed a 2-week workshop funded by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the United States Weather Research Program.

"This vehicle is a dream. It is my wife's car and I take care of it for her. The car is perfect in every way. Plenty of power and as smooth as glass and 100% reliable. The mileage is approx. 25-29 mpg around town and 33-37 on highway! The only thing that was bad were the factory installed Yokohama tires (this was the second set on two different GS Lexus's that cupped and were miserable to drive even though they were properly inflated and rotated). Changed to Michelins (as usual) and all is back to Lexus standards."

"I just bought this car because the wife said I needed to buy a reliable Japanese automobile with 4-doors. I'd been driving European cars for decades. Specifically, many BMW and a few Saab autos. I loved the driving dynamics of the BMW marque and still do. In fact, prior to owning this Lexus GS300, I test drove a 2004 BMW M3. Now THAT is a driver's car! I loved the speed and handling. IMHO, the 2004 M3 is among the legendary BMW's to own if that is on your bucket list to own. Saab's on the other hand are the cheapest bang for the buck. I owned a 1999 Saab Viggen "Born from Jets" in Lightning Blue. Turbo charged with 40-70mph faster than the same year Porsche 911. 911? Yep, that's right. But, I digress. The automobile in question here is the 2006 Lexus GS300. I found this car listed by a local high line dealership and purchased it at a bargain price. it has high miles but relatively well taken care of by local Lexus dealership. The biggest appeal to this iteration of the Lexus GS is that it has sporting character lines and a sterling reputation for longevity without constant maintenance. Driving dynamics are that of a taut "Japanese sport sedan" which means it does its level best to imitate BMW handling dynamics. Acceleration is leisurely for those who are not in a rush to get to where they are going. Unfortunately, it falls short or the BMW marque in terns of both handling and acceleration. Interior accoutrements include Mark Levinson sound system with DVD viewing, navigation, and back up camera. Man cave material! LOL! All in all, a valiant effort that falls somewhat short of BMW's handling dynamics but excels in reliability."

"I own an 06 GS430 with 78k on it now. Purchased at 64k CPO from a Lexus dealer. I fell in love with it at first sight. Very well put together and overall fit and finish. Extremely smooth ride and decent engine. In 06 im sure the v8 with 300hp was a lot but anymore now that isn't much compared to many v6's out there like those nissan/infiniti use. But theres nothing like the pull of a v8 engine. Be prepared to spend a lot of money on gas though. If you arent ready for 16mpg avg city and max 24mpg on road trips then this isn't your car. Go get a 300 or 350 instead. I dont drive far for many commutes at all (15-25 mi/day) and avg 50/wk to keep the needle towards full. Reliability is where it is at though along with value. I purchased used at 24k and trade in is still around the 18k mark with private party value showing avg of 20-23k. Good luck doing that in anything else. I'd say if you were on the fence about this car to just go ahead and buy it. You wont have any regrets. Just make sure you find one certified pre owned or pay the money to get it certified. You wont be upset."

"I buy a car every two years when I traded out of my GS to another brand I had to get the GS back. Now I will only trade for a newer GS. I rated the 8's because there were significant changes to the interior and nav systems 09 and newer."
