I was in the mood for something different last night. I made a very "homey" meal the night before, and the night before that, oh and the night before that. Lots of comfort foods, lots of monotony. Bad foodie! But last night, I wanted something quick, easy and vastly different than anything that had been on my palate lately. I took a look in the fridge and freezer and realized I had just enough familiar ingredients to do a good burrito!
Never have I been the kind of person that could just microwave a bean and cheese burrito and be content. BORING. In fact, beans and I don't really get along. Let's just say our relationship can be a bit… explosive. But I did find a long lost can of mexican style refried beans that were beckoning to be used and abused! How could I resist? I also found some leftover fajita seasoning and a fresh farmer's market jalapeno to give me an official burrito flavor. I can't list the rest of the ingredients just yet since I'm about to give you the recipe, but let me just say… this combination of flavors was shockingly tasty! I impressed myself!
Funky Fiery Fajita Burritos
Servings: 3-4
PointsPlus Per Serving: 9
- Tortillas (I like Tumaro's Jalapeno & Cilantro 95% fat-free), 4 PP each
- Half a bag of medium sized shrimp, 1 pp per 1/2 cup
- 1 small onion (I used a yellow onion)
- 1 jalapeno
- 1 cup spring mix lettuce (mine was fresh from the farmer's market)
- 1/2 cup refried beans (mexican style), 3 PP
- 1/2 cup cooked brown rice w/ adobo spice, 3 PP
- 1/4 cup mild cheddar cheese, 2 PP
- 5 diced cherry tomatoes
- Light sour cream, 1 PP per tbsp
- El Yucateco Green Chile Habanero Sauce
- Goya Adobo spice
1. First, get your rice going. It takes the longest to cook, so it needs to go on first. I use a rice cooker for mine, although I haven't mastered the art of cooking brown rice in my cooker. I also mix some adobo spice into the water so that the rice gets a little flavor. I cooked a 1/2 cup of dried rice and it turned into 1 cup cooked, so adjust according to your needs.
2. Get the shrimp under some cool water to thaw while you prep other things. If you already have them thawed, fantastic! Just drain them, take off the tails and set them aside in a bowl. Put a medium sized skillet on medium-high heat to warm up before you start on the cutting!
3. Slice up your onion. I usually cut off the ends, peel it and then slice about 1/3 inch rings and then slice each ring in half. Then, slice and dice your fresh jalapeno. Spray the hot pan for about 2 whole seconds with Pam Canola spray and toss in your onions and jalapenos. You need to make sure you move them around constantly for the first minute or so as not to burn them. Then, pour in about two tbsp of water to help them along in the cooking process. Keep em moving! Cooking the onion and the jalapeno together gives it just the perfect amount of heat… for me at least, it might be a little too hot for others! Once they are golden in color, wilted, but not mushy (about 10 min or so), put them in a little bowl and cover with some tin foil to keep them hot.
4. Next, spray the skillet with Pam and throw in the shrimp. Generously sprinkle on some fajita mix. I use Simply Organic Fajita Seasoning and it gives it a great flavor. I also sprinkled on some Goya Adobo spice. Adobo spice is the perfect seasoner. It gives anything that it's sprinkled onto a more savory flavor with its mixture of salt, garlic, oregano, black pepper and turmeric. Trust me, it's awesome. It's typically found in the ethnic food section of a store or in an indian/asian grocery store. But back to shrimp! Keep it turning so it doesn't burn and cook it about 5-10 minutes. Once done, put in a bowl and cover with tin foil.
5. Take your refried beans, scoop out a 1/2 cup into a bowl, mix in some adobo spice and pop into the microwave for a minute or two. Now, all your hot ingredients are done!
6. Dice up cherry tomatoes and put in a bowl. Now, just layer it all up! I used just a heaping spoonful each of the beans and rice spread on the burrito first, then I put on the lettuce, 1/4 cup shrimp, tomatoes, onions/jalapenos, sprinkle of cheese, tbsp of sour cream and then about 4-7 drops of the habanero sauce. Wrap up and enjoy!
The flavors just work so well. The spring mix lettuce is so much nicer than the bland flavor of chopped up iceberg lettuce. Iceberg is BORING. The cherry tomato brings a sweetness to the dish that you wouldn't get with other tomatoes. The onions and jalapenos give it a fantastic kick! And everything else just works so perfectly with the adobo spice mixed in. There's nothing monotonous about this dish. And the best part? When you just use heaping spoonfuls of the beans and rice, it cuts down on the points. My burrito breakdown was:
– Burrito (4 PP)
– Beans (1 PP)
– Rice (1 PP)
– Shrimp (1 PP)
– Sour Cream (1 PP)
– Sprinkle of Cheese (1 PP)
TOTAL PointsPlus = 9!!
Everything else was 0 pts. The burrito was so yummy and filling, but I still had leftover points for the day, so I ate TWO!! Heaven… I'm in heaven!!! You can mix up what you want to put in the burrito according to how many points you have left for the day, but no matter how you eat it, this dish is most definitely Weight Watcher Friendly. It gave me flavor and heat and quite a satisfying aftertaste. The monotony of burritos has been obliterated! VICTORY IS MINE! And yours too if you try it :)

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Today's biblical interpreter, whether scholar, student, or pastor, is faced with a plethora of philosophies and methods for interpreting Scripture. Postmodern trends have emphasized one's community identity in shaping interpretation, leading to differing conclusions. In addition, modern biblical interpretation has too often been characterized by a schism between the disciplines of exegesis and theology. The Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible is a groundbreaking reference tool that seeks first of all to marry the tasks of exegesis and theology with the goal of theological interpretation of Scripture--that is, interpretation that has recovered a focus on the subject matter of Scripture: the nature and activity of God and the gospel. Second, it aims to provide a guide to understanding various interpretative approaches and a tool for evaluating them in light of this goal. The dictionary covers a wide range of topics related to biblical interpretation with both depth and clarity. Topics include the theological interpretation of individual books of the Bible, issues of hermeneutics, various biblical interpreters and interpretative communities, and the interplay of interpretation with various doctrines and doctrinal themes. The contributors represent a diverse range of theological backgrounds and interpretative approaches and are experts in their respective fields.

Full-time and Part-time Enrollment
Twelve quarter hours is considered full-time enrollment, except for the Department of Clinical Nutrition which considers eleven quarter hours full-time and the division of Health Sciences, which considers nine quarter hours as full-time. Registration for fewer than twelve hours constitutes part-time enrollment.
Undergraduate Enrollment in Graduate Courses
With permission from the department chairperson or program director, undergraduate students may register for graduate level courses. Credit earned in this manner may apply toward the baccalaureate degree, pending approval by the department chairperson or program director. Should an undergraduate student later apply for and gain admission to a graduate program at Rush University, the student may request that graduate credit previously earned be applied toward the master's degree. A Petition to Transfer Credit form should be completed. Forms are available from the Office of the Registrar or from the web site (www.rushu.rush.edu/registrar). Credit transferred in this manner is limited. A student must earn a minimum of 180 quarter hours to receive the bachelor of science degree. If a student actually earns 187 quarter hours for example, and seven quarter hours are at the graduate level at Rush, seven quarter hours may be credited toward the master's degree.
Examination Policy
The examination policy is the responsibility of the individual course director who will inform students of examination requirements for that particular course. A time period at the end of the quarter is provided for examinations. This time period may be used as the course director chooses.
Several programs in the College of Health Sciences either require or have an option for a thesis project. Completing one's thesis is a significant academic accomplishment and acknowledges that the student has conducted an independent scientific investigation that will add to the knowledge in his/her field. All students are required to have their theses registered with Proquest Information and Learning Company. This process includes the publication of the thesis abstract, the microfilming of the thesis, and the copyrighting of the work. In addition, the original copy of the thesis is bound and becomes a permanent part of the collection of the Library of Rush University Medical Center. The director of the Library of Rush University Medical Center coordinates the process.
Any student who has withdrawn from a program or has not been enrolled for one or more quarters or any dismissed student may apply for readmission by submitting an application for this purpose. Applications for re-enrollment must be received at least three months before the planned return. An interview may be required. A re-entering student must meet the conditions for re-enrollment stated in his/her dismissal or re-entry acceptance letter and all policies, requirements, and course sequences in effect at the time of re-entry. Previously enrolled students may be considered as part of the pool of new applicants and are not guaranteed admission. The student will pay tuition and fees at the rates in effect at the time of re-enrollment.

Like a lot of character actors, David Bradley had a long career on the stage, big screen and television before the world would recognize him in a major role as Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts, in the Harry Potter films. For this British actor, it was an incredible breakthrough that was long overdue.
David Bradley was born on April 17, 1942 in Yorkshire, England. Bradley sang in the choir at Catholic St George's Secondary Modern School, where he also performed on stage for the first time in musicals.

German chat roulette | chat roulette page
chat roulette is not a game. This is about real people, who tell each other about their lives and simply losreden it. When Chatroulette and new acquaintances can be made that can last a lifetime maybe. But it is always a small risk when Chatroulette. No one can take that lightly and parents should never leave your children alone with this webcam chat. Children should not participate in this activity best, it can be found even pages that appeal to children, but no one can say in advance that as a child sitting at the other computer. Thus, it should always be approached with caution in this roulette chat. The Page Chat Roulette is a kind of connection between people from all over the world. This can also be very funny. It's not all bad pages in this webcam chat. More and more people dare to go out and just chat. There's not much can happen. A certain Chatroulette Page also offers a translator. Then the whole thing will be more fun, because people often do not know what the other thinks, because the translator is not perfect. While this can bridge the language barrier that exists on Chatroulette Page, but can also make the whole unpleasant. But the webcam chat strong> will definitely make both sides of fun and also looks after all. A roulette chat should therefore be taken in any case just for fun. The right Chatroulette each page must account for yourself and decide. There are many suppliers for a webcam chat. Since the selection is certainly difficult.

Welcome back to Ask A Blogger, my interview series with members of #basketballtwitter about basketball and the #bloglife. To see previous interviews, go here.
Today we are joined by Robby Kalland, the lead writer (#flex) for Hawks.com and contributor to Hardwood Paroxysm. He does good work down in the ATL, and you should definitely check out his stuff if, even if you aren't a Hawks fan. You can also find him on Twitter dot com (@RKalland) talking about basketball and rap music.
1. In just a few sentences, can you tell us who you write for/what your job is?
I'm the lead writer for Hawks.com. I produce much of the written content for the Hawks official blog doing interviews, features, breakdowns, previews, and recaps.
2. How did you first get interested in/started with writing about basketball?
I actually started out covering high school and college sports for a local paper. I did high school and college football coverage as well as high school wrestling, but the paper had a press pass for Hawks games that was rarely used and so I got my start because I just wanted to go to Hawks games for free. I found that I really enjoyed covering games and talking to the players and coaches so I got more and more serious about it, and I parlayed my experience there into a gig with Peachtree Hoops of SB Nation and then to the Hawks.com job I have now.
3. How does a normal day of blogging go for you?
During the week, I work a normal day job so I have to make time to do stuff during my lunch break if news breaks or there's a preview that they need done. I spend most nights watching games — Hawks games and general NBA games — and write features and recaps at night. On home game days, I go straight from work to the arena, and if there's a feature that I need an interview for that I can't get in pre-game I'll go down to practice during my lunch break.
4. Switching to basketball things, what is one low-key thing in the league (player, team, set, etc.) that you really like watching right now that casual fans may not know about?
I like to pick a player or two each game and focus on them. A lot of times it's a young guy to see how he's adjusting to the NBA game, particularly off the ball on both offense and defense. Watching how a guy plays off the ball shows a lot, because it's the part of the game that requires the most focus. On defense, I want to see if a player's ball-watching or if he's sticking with his assignment. I want to see how he works through screens and how he positions himself. On offense, I like to watch how active he is off the ball, whether he's making hard cuts, going hard around screens and how he's setting himself and his teammates up when he doesn't have the ball.
5. What is the biggest issue Al Horford's injury has caused for the Hawks this year?
The biggest issue is just that they're without their best player. Paul Millsap's been fantastic, but without Horford the team is just lacking it's biggest weapon and best paint defender. The Hawks — when healthy — had a great chance to take advantage of a weak Eastern Conference and get themselves into the three seed and advance in the playoffs. At this point, the Hawks are fighting to stay in the playoff race now that Horford and numerous other Hawks are out with injury.
Bonus Question: Do you have any Sir Foster stories you can share with us?
Ha, not really any specific Sir Foster stories. He's a really nice guy and he's been killing it on the organ at Hawks games for years. It's really awesome to see him get a lot of love after playing the All-Star game because for years people have noticed the organ in the background of Hawks games, but no one really knew who it was. Now they know who it is and how awesome he is. It always amazes me how he brings new heat to every game, learning whatever the newest hot song out on the charts is.
So there you have it. Thanks again to Robby for joining us, make sure you go follow him on Twitter (@RKalland) to talk about Young Jeezy, Dem Franchize Boyz and T.I. Oh, yeah, and the Hawks too.

I received a new reducer that is configurable from Astro-Video Systems.
The reducer is specifically designed for the Astro-Video Systems camera so I cannot tell you how it would function with any other camera.
Essentially with a set of included spacers with the reducer I am able to configure several different reductions.
In the following posts I will show M42 taken with my NextStar 8SE SCT with a native F10 and the various reductions.
In all the following I was not trying to get perfect captures just enough to show the reduction settings.
It took me 6 hours in 40 degree weather to set up and tear down three different telescopes to collect all the video and stills to see how well this reducer worked.
For me this is definitely a must accessory with these cameras.
Sorry for the repeat. Just wanted everyone to get all the information in case they did not see the other posts with different telescopes.
This first is with native F10

Alaska Health Workforce Vacancy Study (2007)
Beth Landon, MBA, MHA
This research project, conducted January – June 2007 by ACRH staff was funded by the Office of the Associate VP for Health, Karen Perdue, and by the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. It sought to answer the following questions:
Four hundred seventy six (476) purposively sampled Alaska healthcare organizations of all types, representing 18,158 healthcare positions, responded to the study survey, the most extensive of its type done to date in Alaska. The survey data was used to generate estimates with confidence intervals of numbers of positions and vacancies, mean vacancy lengths, and numbers of vacancies appropriate for new trainees/graduates for the entire state of Alaska. The findings quantified critical shortages in a wide range of health occupations, particularly high-level primary care occupations including family physician, nursing specialties, physician assistant, pharmacist, dentist, and rehabilitation therapists. Vacancies were also analyzed by geographic region and by healthcare organization type.

Hello again, beta testers. Thanks very much for your continued efforts – it's been great to get some feedback from real users, we hope it hasn't been too frustrating.
We're trying to respond to all the feedback as soon as we can, and today, we've been working hard to implement some new features, like the About page amongst other things. This might give you some more of a feel of what we're trying to achieve.
We've also made quite a few changes to the post process to stop you losing your work. We're using a trendy technique called AJAX which means that we can auto-save your blog posts every two minutes, so even if your computer crashes or something goes wrong, you shouldn't lose too much work. Just go back in to your blog and click the 'Write a blog post' button and your saved work should be loaded up for you.
We're really eager for feedback on this revamped posting process, so please let us know how you get on, especially if you have any problems.
We've also made what we hope are improvements to the sign-up and account screens. A few of you had problems because you didn't complete the registration process, which is fine, but we just couldn't handle that at the time. We've now put some more checking in place and this problem should be resolved.
I'm sorry to have to ask this, but if you have previously had problems signing up, could you please sign up again with a different email address and screen name so that we can be sure that any problems from now on are not due to things not working properly the first time around. Don't worry, though, for launch we'll make sure you all have the email addresses and screen names you want. Hopefully you won't mind assuming a new identity temporarily.
I don't know how many Mac users we have in the beta community, but for the moment, we are not supporting the built in Mac web browser, Safari. If you are a Mac user, can you please do your testing in Firefox. We will make sure that everything works smoothly on Safari early next week. Again, we hope that's not too big a problem.
Can I just reiterate how useful it is to have genuine users testing this software. We are finding it incredibly useful and invigorating, and My Telegraph will be a better community as a result of all your efforts whhen we launch.
One final thing: if you do find any problems or have any feedback, please remember to send an email to email@example.com

Sometimes proposing improves your relationship. And, sometimes, arranging elaborate fake proposals at restaurants in order to get free dinner improves your relationship too. That's the premise behind Proposals, a new film from David Ehrlich. I don't know about you guys, but in high school my friends and I would rotate having it be our birthday at restaurants so we could get free desserts.

A few days ago, I wrote about the potential impact of SEBI's regulations on angel investors. I think the move is a positive development for the ecosystem but pain is bound to accompany any significant change. In this article, I will examine SEBI's proposals for angel investment and evaluate their repercussions.
Proposal 1: Angel Funds Will Be Seen As Venture Capital Funds
Angel funds will now enjoy pass-through status. Thus, profits from investments will not be taxed at the hands of the angel fund. This will solve problems such as double taxation, deemed dividends and dividend distribution tax.
Proposal 2: Not Everyone Can Make Angel Investments
This proposal seems counter-intuitive. After all, if someone is willing to invest, why should SEBI stop them? For instance, SEBI does not recommend qualifications for mutual fund investors. But the mutual fund beast is very different from an angel investment opportunity.
In the past, we have seen how financial instruments and investment opportunities can be gravely misused. A case in point was the way ULIPs were sold. Justifiably, SEBI wants to ensure that the investor knows what she or he is getting into. This objective could have been met in different ways:
The investor should pass a test that makes them eligible for angel investing
(i) The investor must have a background in the start-up space
(ii) The investor must have a certain minimum net worth
(iii) The investor should be informed about all aspects of angel investment – its risks, strategy, realistic expectations, etc, before making the investment
Each one of these criteria is fraught with risk. For instance, when you open a trading account with a brokerage firm, you have to sign a 30-50 page booklet that explains the nature of the engagement. I am still to meet anyone who has actually read the booklet. So, 'informing' the investor does not cut any ice. On the other hand, asking the investor to take a test would kill the industry. So what SEBI stipulates is that the angel investor should have both of the following:
(i) Experience as an early-stage investor, or as a serial entrepreneur, or as a senior management professional with at least 10 years' experience
(ii) Net tangible assets of at least Rs 2 crore. (Note this Rs 2-crore floor is for individual angels. For corporate angels, it is Rs 10 crore).
During 15 years of angel investing, I have not come across one angel investor who does not meet the Rs 2-crore net tangible asset requirement. But I have come across several 20-somethings who are angel-investing family money. When they start out, they would not have met SEBI's guidelines for experience. If this proposal is implemented stringently, it could spell trouble for such angels. But then, these investors could come in through the corporate route, if they meet the Rs 10-crore net tangible asset requirement.
Proposal 3: Angel Funds Should Have A Corpus Of At Least 10 Cr
The corresponding number for Venture Capital funds is Rs 20 crore. I would have expected a lower number – probably Rs 5 crore. This is because a Venture Capital fund plays a substantially later-stage game than an angel fund. However, angel fund managers draw most of their reward from 'carry', ie a share of the profits earned for investors. Given that the life cycle of such funds is expected to be 5-7 years, even a Rs 10-crore corpus is too small to make an acceptable return for the fund manager. I don't think this proposal will meet with any real resistance.
Proposal 4: The Minimum Investment By An Individual Investor In An Angel Fund Must Be at Least Rs 25 Lakh
The corresponding number for Venture Capital funds is Rs 1 crore. Till SEBI's AIF (Alternative Investment Funds) guidelines took effect in 2012, many Venture Capital funds were accepting investors with ticket sizes of Rs 25 lakh. SEBI's Rs 25-lakh floor for individual angel investors does not make sense for the following reasons:
(i) According to SEBI's own thinking, an individual with net tangible assets of Rs 2 crore is eligible to make angel investments. How likely is it that an investor would allocate one-eighth (Rs 25 lakh of Rs 2 crore) of their net tangible assets to one investment? This number should be more like one-twentieth. A number such as Rs 10 lakh would make far more sense. To allow angel investors to diversify their risk by investing in multiple angel funds, this number should be lowered even further – perhaps even Rs 5 lakh.
(ii) SEBI's guidelines are not meant to regulate only existing angel investors. They should also be oriented towards incubating a healthy angel ecosystem that invites new angels. If a first-time angel needs to invest Rs 25 lakh in one particular investment opportunity, this would keep away a large number of perfectly suitable angel candidates.
SEBI further stipulates that the Rs 25 lakh can be accepted over a maximum 3 years. This is in keeping with the way alternative funds such as Venture Capital funds, Private Equity funds, REITs and the like accept investments. So far, so good. But what if an investor commits to pay Rs 25 lakh over 3 years and makes an initial payment of Rs 5 lakh but does not pay the future money when it is called for, then who is at fault?
It would be unfair for SEBI to penalise the fund, as the fund may have a built-in adequate disincentive for investors to not renege on future payments. But if SEBI forgives the fund, then rogue funds could use this loophole to accept lower ticket sizes from some investors.
Proposal 5: The Sponsor / Manager Of An Angel Fund Should Have Some of Their Own Money In The Fund
The minimum amount proposed by SEBI is 2.5 per cent of the corpus or Rs 50 lakh, whichever is lower. One could argue that this is something that market forces should dictate, ie, SEBI should not care if investors themselves do not insist on it. Despite that, I get the sense that market participants are not really affected by this regulation. If the total corpus of the angel fund is at the minimum prescribed Rs 10 crore, then the sponsor's contribution can be as low as Rs 25 lakh (ie, 2.5 per cent of Rs 10 crore).
Proposal 6: The Investee Company Should Meet A Set Of Criteria
One could argue that the investor should decide where they want to invest. However, SEBI's biggest motivator in regulating angel investors seems to stem from its fear that in the name of angel investment, one might allow money-laundering scams, or present vehicles for bribery and corruption.
Despite this valid concern, some of the proposed criteria are highly restricting. It is important to note that the present SEBI regulations prescribe these criteria only for angel funds. So, these should not be applicable to individual investors. Let us examine the criteria that investee companies need to meet:
(i) The company should be incorporated in India. It should not be more than 3 years old. I do not anticipate too much resistance to these criteria. I have seen a couple of transactions in companies older than 3 years or in companies incorporated abroad but those are exceptions.
(ii) It should not have a turnover greater than Rs 25 crore. It should be unlisted. It should not be related to an industrial group with a turnover of more than Rs 300 crore. These 3 criteria do not seem like too much of a problem, as genuine angel investment tends to be restricted to unlisted companies with a small turnover.
(iii) It has no family connection with the investors. Individual angel investment often comes in from relatives. But since this regulation deals with angel funds, we should be happy that this restriction is in place.
(iv) It will raise angel investment of a minimum Rs 50 lakh and a maximum Rs 5 crore from an angel fund. This proposal will be a problem since I have often seen investments on both sides of these boundaries. The biggest irrationality comes into play when you consider subsequent rounds that a company raises from the same angel fund. Does the total sum raised in all the rounds have to satisfy this criterion or is it applicable to each individual round? What if the later round is from a different angel fund? This proposal needs to be reworked.
(v) Angel funds must stay invested in a company for a minimum 3 years. This is another problem area. What if there is an attractive exit opportunity for a fund in 15 months?
Despite what Doomsayers predict, I do not think the current set of SEBI proposals will sound the death knell for angel investment in India. However, there are some pain points that need to be addressed. In addition, there is a need for clarity on some of the proposals. I suspect we haven't heard the last of this, and some updates will be forthcoming from SEBI soon.

Breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. Approximately one in nine women who live to age 65 will develop breast cancer, although many will not do so until after age 65.
Screening tests for breast cancer
The most important screening methods to detect breast cancer include:
- breast examination by a trained professional, and
- mammography
Who to test and how often
Breast awareness
- In November, 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended against teaching breast self-examination, citing a lack of benefit for a monthly self-examination. Groups such as the American Cancer Society agree with this conclusion and do not offer guidance on exactly how often a woman should check her breasts, but so state that a woman should be aware of any changes in her breasts.
- Breast examination by a professional trained in breast examination.
- Mammography: In their revised recommendations issued in November, 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force states that women age 40 to 49 do not require routine mammograms. They recommend biannual screening mammograms for women aged 49-74, and further state that: "The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years should be an individual one and take patient context into account, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and harms."
- However, The American Cancer Society (ACS) disagrees and recommends a baseline mammogram for all women by age 40 and annual mammograms for women 40 and older for as long as they are in good health.
- In women with "lumpy breasts" or breast symptoms, and also in women with a high risk for developing breast cancer, sometimes a baseline mammogram at 35 years of age is recommended. This recommendation is somewhat controversial, and there are other viewpoints.
High-risk factors for breast cancer include:
- a history of previous breast cancer; and
- First-degree relatives (mother, sister, or daughter) with breast cancer. The risk is especially higher if both the mother and sister have had breast cancers, if a relative developed her cancer before age 50, if the relative had breast cancer in both breasts, if there is both ovarian and breast cancers in the family, or if a male family member has been diagnosed with breast cancer
Benefits of early detection
Early detection of breast cancer is important to every woman, regardless of risk factors, because the earlier a cancer is found, the smaller it is likely to be. Studies have clearly shown that the smaller the size of the breast cancer when detected, the better the chance of a surgical cure and long-term survival. Smaller breast cancers are also less likely to have already spread to lymph nodes and to other organs such as the lungs, liver, bones, and brain.
Mammograms can detect many small breast cancers long before they may be felt during breast examinations. There is extensive evidence that early detection by mammography has improved survival in women with this disease.
Some 10% to 15% of breast cancers are not detected through mammograms, but are detected by breast examinations. Therefore a normal mammogram does not completely exclude the possibility of breast cancer, and breast self-examinations and breast examinations by a doctor remain important.

California's four living former governors have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of current Gov. Jerry Brown's plea for relief from a court order to drop the state's prison population by nearly 10,000 more inmates.
But while trying to support Brown they – wittingly or otherwise – have joined critics of realignment, one of Brown's proudest achievements.
Brown claims that he's done enough to reduce prison overcrowding through realignment – diverting low-level offenders into local jails and supervision – and that any further reductions could imperil the public by releasing dangerous felons from confinement.
The former governors back Brown, saying that such releases would cause "grave and irreparable harm from increased crime." As evidence, they cite an uptick in crime during 2012, the first full year of realignment.
Their brief was written by the anti-realignment Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, using its analysis of FBI crime reports that were issued in early June covering the state's cities with over 100,000 population.
"Between 1993 and 2011, violent crime dropped every year but 2006, when it increased by 1.2 percent," the foundation's president, Michael Rushford, said as the data were released in June. "Last year, violent crime went up 2.9 percent, more than twice the rate of the rest of the country."
The assertion runs counter to Brown's contention that realignment has had little or no impact on local crime. And by endorsing it, the four former governors – Republicans George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democrat Gray Davis – raise the allegation into a genuine political issue, albeit one that must be considered in context:
While the foundation's arithmetic is accurate, it does not, unto itself, prove a cause-and-effect relationship between realignment and crime.
The 2.9 percent increase in California's violent crime was, as the foundation says, substantially higher than the 1.2 percent national increase, but actually lower than the 3.3 percent recorded in all Western states.
There is no consistent pattern among the midsize and large cities in the FBI data. Some saw higher levels of violence – Oakland and Stockton, most notably – while in others it declined, including Los Angeles.
Neither is there consistency in the relationship of violent crime to population. Oakland, with 400,000 residents, had twice as much violent crime as San Jose with 2.5 times as much population. Stockton had three times as much as same-sized Santa Ana.
Someone certainly needs to settle the issue of realignment and crime, but just massaging the FBI's numbers doesn't do it. And the four former governors shouldn't have endorsed such a serious assertion without hard evidence of a relationship.

A tie that binds
Church-to-church aid makes relief more accountable
Generous as they are, 80 percent of all Americans say they have profound doubts that the hundreds of millions of dollars they're sending for relief efforts in Indian Ocean countries will ever reach the people who really need it. That's what Americans told CNN pollsters last week-even while digging deep to send staggering sums of emergency funding.
While the U.S. government upped the ante by pledging $350 million in public funds (plus untold sums through the assistance of military and other official personnel), private donors were said by some experts to be exceeding that figure through hundreds of nongovernmental channels.
Sadly, the very complexity of the effort is an open invitation to out-and-out scoundrels, a few of whom will take the money and run. Others, meaning well, will prove terribly inefficient-and this will obviously be true of governmental and military programs just as much as it is of private efforts. Both money and goods will fall short of the intended targets.
None of which seems to have daunted the wonderful American spirit of giving. For that, we should all rejoice.
Yet now that the most volatile aspects of the crisis are probably past, thoughtful Christians may be well advised to consider what safeguards they might attach to future giving. To that end, I was struck last week with an angle that seems worth investigating.
John Sorensen, who heads Evangelism Explosion International, suggested over lunch that there might be a place for linking individual church congregations in this country with individual church congregations in some of the devastated areas of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other affected nations. This wouldn't be so much for provision of medicine, bottled water, and other items needed for the short-term sustenance of life. It would be targeted instead for longer-term infrastructure as communities face the need for rebuilding from scratch that which was washed away the morning of Dec. 26.
What better way to respond to such needs than making it easy for one body of believers to communicate directly and thoughtfully with another body of believers halfway around the world? "We have contact with several hundred congregations," Mr. Sorensen told me, "all in close proximity to this area. We have been told by our EE leaders in Indonesia that some churches on the island of Nias, located just south of the epicenter of the earthquake, were directly affected by the tsunami, losing their properties and varying degrees of their membership. Others were farther inland, but close enough to know what is really needed now to be of help."
In either case, imagine how much better it would be for donors in a stateside church to hear from Sunday to Sunday exactly what the needs are among just one congregation (perhaps paired by size). And imagine the delight and reward of hearing also from week to week how assistance sent a few weeks earlier is now being applied to specific needs. And finally, imagine also the thrill of sending a small team of hands-on representatives sometime over the next year or two to be part of the restoration. Such teams, chosen with care to meet specific needs, would add authenticity and integrity to the relationship.
OK. So imagine the worst. Imagine also that some church in the United States sends a generous sum of $15,000, or $50,000, or even $100,000, to its paired church in south Asia-only to discover that virtually nothing has happened or that someone has embezzled all that money. Not likely, says Mr. Sorensen, given the kind of information they have about the churches they would recommend. But possible? In this fallen world, of course. If Americans expect that 80 percent of all relief funds are going to get lost anyway, isn't it worth the risk?

BELCONNEN, Australia, December 22. THE pathway to selection onto the Australian Swim Team for future events has never been clearer with Swimming Australia announcing new selection standards leading into Rio.
Developed by the Swimming Australia High Performance Committee and endorsed by the Board of Swimming Australia, swimmers and coaches will now know exactly what times need to be swum, up to two years out from a major benchmark event.
In 2014-15 qualifying standards will be established off the results at this year's 2013 FINA World Championships, with a strategic alignment based off a percentage margin between these international time standards and the times required to be selected for other national teams.
Swimming Australia Director of High Performance Michael Scott says this new approach allows the international time standard to cascade through the entire national program from the senior team right through to the junior ranks.
"Agreeing on these time standards now means coaches and athletes know what's required to gain selection going forward," said Scott.
"The goals are there, they have been set and the challenge is to meet them and then exceed expectations. We have to be thinking about what it will take to perform at our best in Rio and we have to apply that to now."
For the next two years the qualifying time for the senior benchmark teams will be the equivalent to the eighth placed time into the final at the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona. Times will then change following the 2015 FINA World Championships and so on.
This process and time standards will go on to become the time standard used for all other national team qualifying times, based on a percentage increase for second tier and junior teams.
This strategic time standard approach aims to raise the standards of all athletes at all levels, across all event groups of the national program by creating a logical progression aligned to the highest international level.
These time standards will be reassessed and realigned every two years following the long course FINA World Championships and remain current for the following two-year period. This process will also provide coaches and swimmers with clarity on what the qualifying times are, well in advance of the development of the specific selection criteria for each team.
Qualifying times will be established for the following three tiers of the national team*;
? Benchmark — Olympics, World Championships, Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific Championships;
? Australia A — World University Games and or Australia A team tour;
? Junior — World Junior Championships and Junior Pan Pacific Championships
*Note: Due to the specific nature of the Paralympic and IPC classification system, time standards and selection for the Paralympic program will continue to be developed on an ongoing basis and be event specific.

In 1940 Adolf Hitler was a very angry man. The RAF had launched a successful raid on the German capitol of Berlin and something had to be done to protect the city. He ordered the building of three enormous flak towers – and they were to be constructed in just six months. Other cities in the Reich soon followed this example and today these massive concrete and steel leviathans still dominate the skylines in some places.

I'm new here (obviously) and just wanted to say this place is awesome! I never knew this place existed until a few days ago and I wish I'd found it earlier. Somehow I never really imagined there would be a place like this. The tutorials everyone has done are so cool and everyone's maps are so awesome, I can't wait to dive right in and start doing some stuff around the forums! Everyone here seems nice as well

Hi I'm ashley Wright - 31, married to Amanda with a son James who just turned 2 on Sunday. I live in Godalming in Surrey and belong to the Horsham Riders (as it was a smidge closer than BOB's). Now quite involved with them and am currently sorting out all our new club kit. Oh and don't forget to visit our club website - www.hrc1.orgI used to race BMX's when young, but gave that up when I started to drive/found girls. Started MTBing again 4 years ago to lose weight, and found out how much fun it was. Soon ended up spending all my money on bikes. Trying to get Amanda involved, and though she does like it, we can never get someone to babysit so she goes out 3 times a year now.I too work in IT, and have done for over 13 years. Used to (Still do some) AS400 RPG work, but have recently moved into the Websphere arena and passed some IBM certifications last week. Got promoted to manager long time ago and didn't like it so am now a consultant who does what I like.Oh and I waffle a bit!!You can see what I look like on my website - www.ashleywright.co.uk

Paul Harrison, 37, from Farnham, Surrey. I earn my living managing teams of recalcitrant software developers, and spend most of my money on guitars and travelling (mainly in Africa). I would spend more of it on bikes, but I'm really happy with the ones I've got: an old Cannondale M800 and an Orange Clockwork singlespeed. I started mountain biking about 9 or 10 years ago after my brother got me interested in it, so he's the one to blame for my creaky knees, scars and over-developed calf muscles.

I am helping an elderly neighbor clean out her house. She has been an avid TOH reader since the beginning. Although I enjoy the magazines, too, neither of us have any interest in saving them any longer.
We have issues from '93, '94, '96, '97, '99, 00, '01 '03, '04, 05. There are a couple of complete years, mostly not. There are some issues still in their plastic wrap. I'd guess 95% of the issues are complete. A few copies might have recipes cut out, but that was not her style.
If you are looking for older issues, let me know your interest. We can work out a deal. We will ship the most economical way. I can send pictures on request. My email is
Thank you.
What a nice offer. I can't have another thing in my house, but i'm sure someone will appreciate this!
Good job!
What a treasure you've found! We need to keep this bumped for you, so the magazines will go to someone who'll appreciate them.
My elderly neighbor has nothing this nice in her house. This is a very nice neighborhood, but she is a HOARDER!!! Her house looks like the ones on the Discovery Channel. Just a filthy mess. She is in a nursing home now and probably will never get back to this area and back to that house. What a headache for her executor.
As requested, I sent an email offering to take the entire collection of magazines. In the event that email did not go through, I am again offering to take all of them. Send me a Private Message and we can make the arrangements. Thank you so much for the consideration.

Glen again
Music | Campbell successfully covers a surprising list of songs
Meet Glen Campbell (Capitol) is a funny album title coming from a performer who released the first of his 10 gold or platinum albums in 1967. Then again, with the exception of a drunk-driving arrest in 2003, Glen Campbell's blip on the pop-cultural radar screen has been faint of late, so perhaps the title is serious after all.
There's certainly nothing funny about the music, which follows the pattern established by Johnny Cash with his Rick Rubin-produced albums on American Recordings: Take a country performer considered past his prime, match him with an unlikely batch of alternative-rock songs, and let the instincts that were natural to him in his youth take over.
In Campbell's case, as fans of "Galveston" will recall, those instincts include singing atop a nimbly picked guitar and an emotively swirling string section, a formula that Meet Glen Campbell reinvigorates as if Campbell had never abandoned it. Most of the guitars are electric, but the picking is so gentle that the songs sound practically "unplugged." That they also sound, to quote Campbell, "like a Glen Campbell album" is practically miraculous.
One might've predicted the Tom Petty songs ("Walls," "Angel Dream"). One might have even predicted Jackson Browne's "These Days" and John Lennon's "Grow Old with Me." But it's extremely unlikely one would've ever guessed that Campbell, who rose to fame covering Jimmy Webb compositions, would one day assay-and do justice by-Green Day ("Good Riddance [Time of Your Life]"), U2 ("All I Want Is You"), and Foo Fighters ("Times like These").
Most surprising of all is "Jesus," a 40-year-old Lou Reed song that begins, "Jesus, help me find my proper place." Somehow, Meet Glen Campbell seems like a much more proper place for the song than the Velvet Underground's transgressive oeuvre ever did.

Re: Exercice to develop sense of center
The image of rubber bands is a very useful on for me. For a while I was way too yin; thinking relaxation was like being jelly armed. Then I made a study of bone alignments and how tendons work.
When both flexors and extensors are balanced, bone alignment happens with neither muscle nor tendon working against the balance. This is often cryptically called "non-contention".
If the whole skeletal structure is balanced that way, small flexion and extension movements of the various joints, beginning with the bottom of the feet (metatarsals and plantars) work in sequence and momentum builds. As the saying goes "Good Kung Fu begins at the bottom of the feet, goes through the knees, is directed by the hips and culminates in the hands."
This cumative pattern has been described as a snake traveling through your frame.
It so can be applied in aiki throws simply because force and momentus are at play via long leverage.
A touch, a push, a punch. It is all the same from my experience. Just a question of velocity and intent.
If the leverage is short, uke feels it. If the leverage is long... (The Master's touch is lite as a feather and heavy as a mountain.)

Actress Raveena Tandon, who is making a full-fledged comeback with the bilingual project "Gin Liya Aasmaan", says she had been waiting to work in a children's film for a long time.
"Loving doing 'Gin Liya Aasman' as it is a beautiful emotional story about a mom and her small child," Raveena posted on her Twitter page.
The 37-year-old, who was last seen in "Bbuddah…Hoga Tera Baap", will be seen as a mother to a six-year-old boy in the bilingual movie "Gin Liya Aasman". It is being made in Hindi and Marathi.
Though she was the chairperson of Children's Film Society of India (CFSI) for two years, starting 2003, Raveena never got a chance to feature in a childnren's film in her two decades long career.
"When I was chairperson for the CFSI, I'd be asked, when eventually will I ever work in a children's film. I was willing, never got the opportunity or a good script where I could be involved. When this script came to me, just completely loved it…overdue, eventually doing a good kiddie film," added the ravishing actress.
Raveena has two children – six-year-old daughter, Rasha, and four-year-old son Ranbir. – IANS

Bruin Diving Invitational Platform Results
LOS ANGELES - Two Golden Bears reached the platform final on the last day of the Bruin Diving Invitational on Sunday, as California's Sara-Lina Boushakra took seventh place and Kahley Rowell finished eighth at UCLA's Spieker Aquatics Center.
Boushakra, a freshman, posted a score of 453.55, while Rowell - a junior who earned All-America status on the platform last season - compiled a score of 451.45 to close out Cal's stay in L.A. In the preliminary round, Rowell took sixth (239.65) and Boushakra was eighth (224.35).
In the three-meter springboard final on Jan. 11, Boushakra also notched Cal's top finish, taking 17th place.
The fourth-ranked Cal women's swimming and diving team (4-0, 1-0 in the Pac-12) returns to conference action when it takes on No. 6 Arizona on Jan. 25 in Tucson, Ariz. The dual meet will mark the two-time defending NCAA champions' first appearance on the Pac-12 Networks.

Hey everybody, this is slightly like some things others have mentioned, but different enough that I figured I'd throw it out as a separate thread:
When I upgraded from 5.08 to 5.011 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, everything started normally except for (1) a failure of Clam due to newer version (fixed), and (2) SNMP and Logger failed to start at the script end. Once I fixed clamAV and restarted Zimbra everything came up so I assumed (wrongly, it now seems) that everything is OK.
I use the shell script backup method (the really simple version, pre some of the enhancements others have made), and part of the script is an su stopping and starting of Zimbra services. When they restart from the script, SNMP and Logger are stopped again. However if I log onto the command prompt and manually zmcontrol stop and start, they come up flawlessly.
What is different about calling these same commands from a shell script, that causes this failure? Where in the logs do I even begin to look for errors?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
