Research presented at a just-concluded breast cancer symposium will help doctors understand how to use existing drugs better when certain drugs don't work, and how chemotherapy may not be to blame for so-called "chemo brain."
Breast cancer doctors and researchers from around the world gathered at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in San Antonio, Texas, last week to learn about the latest developments in treating the disease.
Here are some of those latest developments:
1. 'Chemo brain' starts before chemo
It's been known for a long time that when women undergo breast cancer treatment, they can have trouble remembering regular tasks and jobs. Chemotherapy, or so-called "chemo brain," has often been blamed. There's still no good explanation for why this happens or how to treat it.
Doctors are concerned about this because patients' concerns over "chemo brain" may result in a reluctance to accept life-saving therapy, said Bernadine Cimprich, an associate professor emerita at the University of Michigan School of Nursing in Ann Arbor, who presented a new study at SABCS.
Using an MRI, her team tested patient's brain function while performing a working memory task in the scanner. This was done before any chemotherapy started and a month after treatment was completed.
The study involved a total of 97 participants: 28 patients receiving chemotherapy, 37 patients who got radiation therapy and 32 healthy women.
The results showed that women who were scheduled to undergo chemotherapy had the lowest activation of the part of the brain that is critical for the effective performance of a working memory task: The left inferior frontal gyrus.
Women who were not able or less able to activate the frontal brain region suffered greater fatigue over time, regardless of treatment, Cimprich said. Also, women expecting chemotherapy were more worried and more fatigued than the other groups, including the radiation group.

Hydraulic fracturing or ?fracking? has been widely criticized by environmentalists who cite concerns with water pollution and methane leakage from this high-volume method of extracting natural gas. However, the burning of natural gas is undoubtedly better for the planet than the burning of coal. Some experts are now saying that ? toxic chemicals an
Breakdown: Penetration of Renewable Energy in Selected Markets
The penetration of renewable energy into the electricity supply mix has been much in the news recently. During the first quarter, Portugal generated three-quarters of its electricity with renewable energy. Meanwhile, in Germany, one-fifth of all electricity was generated with renewables, most of that from new sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. And recently, at a conference in San Francisco, attendees heard calls for generating not just 100 percent of electricity supply with renewable energy, but far more ? 200 percent to 300 percent of generation ? in order to meet the need for heating, cooling, and transportation as well.

While that bill might make some sense, other bills, like a bill to eliminate tax credits immediately, seem to b

SolarCity Earnings: Mixed Results, Good Prospects
SolarCity (SCTY) has been one of the hottest alternative energy stocks since its Initial Public Offering five short months ago. Yesterday it shot up 24% in one day, on the largest one-day volume since it opened, in anticipation of its quarterly earnings release. It is up 95% in the past three months, and has more than tripled from its initial trading price. As of this writing SCTY has given back about a third of yesterday's stratospheric gains.

It's been a tough several years for solar PV manufacturing.

That's why the U.S. laid out penalties on Chinese solar imports last year, and why Europe is positioning to do so now.
Ontario Loses WTO Appeal: What Happens Next?
After a lengthy appeal process, the WTO recently ruled in favour of Japan and the European Union in a case over Ontario's domestic content requirements (DCR) for renewable energy projects under the province's FIT Program. In light of this decision, the DCR, which mandate that project developers procure 50-60 percent of the value of their installations from equipment assembled or manufactured in Ontario, are now effectively illegal under the multilateral WTO agreement. As a result, Ontario's provincial government, which oversees the administration of the FIT Program, is now in a position in which it must make a policy choice which will likely have far reaching political and economic consequences as well as a significant impact on the province's renewable energy industry.

PulseAudio 4.0 Release Notes
TODO: Short introduction.
Notes for Application Developers
So far card profiles have been static, that is, the set of profiles on a card has never changed after the creation of the card object. While that has never been promised in the API documentation, it may be that some applications have the assumption that the profiles are static. Due to the nature of the Bluetooth protocol, it has turned out to be necessary to be able to add profiles to a card after it has been created. So, make sure your application doesn't crash or otherwise behave badly if new profiles suddenly appear on a card. It's best to prepare for profiles disappearing too.
Have you ever wanted to get a callback from pa_operation when it's cancelled (perhaps due to disconnection)? That's now possible with this new function: pa_operation_set_state_callback().
Notes for Packagers
D-Bus dependency version has been bumped to 1.4.12.
pa_format_info_free2 symbol has been dropped from libpulse. The pa_format_info_free2 symbol was never part of the public API, but was still exported in the ABI in the previous version of PulseAudio. It is now completely dropped. Since it was never exposed in any header files, the only programs affected should be test tools specifically looking for missing symbols.
Changes in More Detail
New Module: module-role-ducking
module-role-ducking lowers the volume of less important streams when a more important stream appears, and raises the volume back up once the important stream has finished (this is called "ducking"). The decision whether a stream has high or low priority is made based on the stream role (the media.role property). By default, "music" and "video" streams are ducked, and "phone" streams trigger the ducking. This module is not loaded by default.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A giant Elvis, an ice cream cone and a child in a wheelchair are among the new shapes set to take to the sky at an annual hot-air balloon festival in New Mexico that's expected to draw more than 700,000 visitors from around the globe.
The 41st Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is scheduled to begin Saturday with the launch of hundreds of hot-air balloons.
Fiesta officials hope for better weather at this year's nine-day affair after wind and rains sidelined balloons for a few events last year, cutting attendance by around 100,000 visitors.
Still, organizers last year were able to break a world record by sending up 345 balloons at one time.
"There were some things we just couldn't control," director Don Edwards said. "But we still tried to put on a good show."
Officials aren't planning to break any records this year, but more than 550 pilots have signed up to fly balloons at the fiesta, Edwards said. That's slightly higher than in most years, he said..
Last year, the event drew slightly more than 700,000 spectators. That was down from 800,000 visitors from 2010, officials said.
The forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies in the area Saturday and Sunday, with winds up to 12 mph.
Winds faster than 11.5 mph, less than three miles visibility and clouds below 1,500 feet would postpone or cancel any launch of balloons. However, winds vary near the Fiesta Park launch site because some are blocked by the Sandia Mountains. Officials determine whether balloons can be launched by measuring wind speeds at the site.
Making its first appearance at the event this year is the Spain-made "Shining Star" balloon, which is shaped like a child sitting in a wheelchair reaching for a star. Other balloons set to make their fiesta debuts include "Simba the Lion," "Cosmo the Astronaut" and "Little Fireman," a balloon shaped like a fire helmet. Continued...
Officials said this year's event will have more activities for the balloon pilots, with chances of winning a horseback-riding trip in New Mexico's Sandia Mountains or a whitewater rafting trip on the Rio Grande.

Anson Keeps Season Going With Playoff Win
By: BCH Sports
Updated: November 17, 2012
Anson would take a commanding lead in the game after a long pass from quarterback Jalen Garza to Hayden Stovall. That set up a set up a draw play for Garza to give the Tigers a 28-14 lead.
In the fourth quarter another Garza pass would prove to be the game winner. This time it was a long pass to Studson Meek to give Anson a 35-28 lead.
The Tigers wouldn't let Windthorst score again, and would hold on to win their Bi-District Championship.

Can a panel of the cell guarding be manually removed while operating a semi-automated machine? The locating tolerance of the part being placed is within 1mm & changes with every part. Removing the panel will allow the operator to visually inspect the location while operating the controller.
In the new R15.06-1 2012 collaborative section, it states that the robot SHALL stop when the human is in the collaborative workspace. Later there is a section on power/force limiting, but there is no specification on what the force is, nor whether that if the force is limited, will the initial "SHALL stop" statement be void. If the robot must stop when a human is near, what is the point of the safety rated power/force limiting?
Source? Training DVD video (generic) on Industrial robot safety awareness. Could you give me vendor contacts? Could not find, via Goggle and Utube search. Limited to product Infoads.
A turn-key equipment supplier recently gave us a proposal which had a large robot in a relatively narrow self-contained enclosure to perform finish grinding on castings. The robot must use 90%+ of its forward reach capacity to get to the part. However, as the robot spins 180 degrees for a tool change, due to the forward reach requirements, the restricted space goes well outside of the enclosure (by 20+ inches). I asked the supplier if the enclosure was designed to stop the robot and their answer was "no". In my previous experience, there was a requirement of 18" clearance between the restricted envelope and any obstruction or guarding with the hard stops on the robot. Is this still a typical industry standard? Can electrical devices be installed on the robot to prevent that penetration of the enlcosure and possibly hit someone standing outside of it? I was always told to not trust the electrical safety devices and place the robot cell guarding 18" away from the part / end effector / robot.
In a multiple robot cell. When two people are required for a teaching operation (1 teaching,1 spotter). If a second tm is holding another robot teach pendant with an E-stop does this satisfy the requirement for an enabling device or does it have to be a three position deadman switch? This is provided that the second robot teach pendant E-stop will stop the robot being taught as well.
ANSI-RIA R15.06-1999, page 29, letter B, states: "Barrier openings shall not be greater than 132.00mm (5.0 inches) unless a risk assessment is performed." Does this apply to the opening underneath permeter guarding, sometimes referred to as a "sweep space"?
We have set up a robot cell with pure mechanical interlocks. All doors will be locked and keys pulled off the locks and keys need to stay with the controller to activate the robot. Just realised that somebody will be locked during programming because of this safety system. Is there any other way to solve this and still comply with safety regulations?
We are designing a HMI Screen that is currently mirroring our robots Teach Pendant program. The only way to manually jog the robot is still through the Teach Pendant. We do, however, have a "home" button on the HMI screen and on the Teach Pendant to send the robot into a safe position before anyone can enter the robotic cell. What can be done to prevent both devices from being "active" at the same time in order to be in compliance with with 10218-1 (single point of control)?
Is the Risk Assessment in ANSI R15.06-2012 going to be the same as the Risk Assessment in ISO 10218? Is the draft copy of ANSI R15.06-2012 available?
Can an employee enter a work envelope by locking the gate open to mop floors or perform set up on a machine not associated with the robot, e.g, a lathe, etc.. The interlock is wired in safe mode and requires the gate to be closed and two start up buttons to be engaged prior to the robot engagement.
Safety Standards - Is EN ISO 13849-1 relevant in North America, specifically the U.S.?

What's an assembly drill - and do I have to go?
Everyone on board the ship must participate in a compulsory safety drill before departure to comply with Coast Guard and international safety regulations. All passengers are required to attend.
There's so much to do on the ship! How will I know what's going on when?
On your cruise, you can Discover Uncharted Magic™ of your own. A complete listing of all activities, adventures and entertainment will be available upon arrival in your stateroom.

We are unable to provide one-on-one care. A child who shows symptoms of physical illness such as fever, vomiting or diarrhea or who becomes disruptive within the group may be excluded from participation. Parents sign their children in and out of the programs. Events have been designed for teens as well, ages 13-17. Teens do not need to be signed in and out by parents. There is no additional charge for these planned events.
Can I work away from home? (Business Services)
We know how important it is for business people, even when they are on vacation, to keep in touch with responsibilities at the office. You'll find a full range of business services at the Walt Disney World® Resort and on board the ship available for an additional charge, including an Internet Cafe.
What if someone gets sick?
For your convenience, a physician and nurse are on call 24 hours a day to provide basic medical services on every cruise.

You should keep it in your carry-on luggage so it is easily at hand.
Are there limits to the amount of duty-free merchandise that I may bring into the U.S. from the Bahamas?
You'll find lots of exciting duty-free shopping right on board in our shops as well as on shore in Nassau!

Comments about One Step Ahead Dri Nights Waterproof Mattress Protector Crib/twin Size:
This is a great product if you travel and have a bed wetter. It is very embarrasing to have to call hotel mgmt at 2am to say you need new sheets and the mattress is drenched! We also use these on our dining room chairs. We have a 2, 3, and 4 year old and a towel on the chair does not always work for a glass full of spilled milk or juice. These are very absorbant, great for the bed or other uses too! A little sweaty if you put it over the sheet.
Best we've found!
By AriccaD

This is the best mattress cover we've found. Easy to use. Easy to clean. But best of all...it is soft and easy to layer with sheets for the 3am sheet changing adventures.

Not quite but better than everything els
By Nicole
from Rockville, MD
I have 6 kids and am potty training #4, he does great except at night. We have a mandatory rule of all bed must have waterproof mattress protectors. However this little guy insists on sleeping jammed against the wall facing out, which allows all the urine to slide right down the side of the mattress where mattress protectors fail! So we bought this thinking it was a full sheet of protection all the way to the edges, it is not. The protection part is only the width of a twin mattress and the rest just tucks in. However we just scooted the protection part to the side that he sleeps and down around where we NEED the protection. Works great! Not I don't have to strip a bed in the middle of the night(or early the next morning! Just take this off, change a little boy and throw clothes and this into he wash and two hours later just toss this back on the bed! No lifting mattresses for fitting sheets or anything so difficult at 2AM! Love it bought another for #5, I laugh at leaky diapers and potty training toddlers!
Easy and effective. Love it!

About Me First Time Parent
Ahh, to sleep again! My 4 year old daughter is learning to go without pullups at night, and we've been dealing with a wet bed every night, in the middle of the night. I used to just use a fitted cover over the mattress, but I'd still have to strip and recover the bed each time. But this makes the process take about 3 minutes to deal with -- remove wet protector, lay new one on top, tuck under mattress on sides, and kiss daughter goodnight again. I still use a fitted cover on the mattress just in case she kicks off this protector. That happened initially, but now I tuck it in higher on the bed (so it starts a couple inches above the bottom of her pillow), and we haven't had that happen again. If you buy two, it's even easier - just switch the pads rather than hope there won't be a second accident (and you are less likely to forget to cover the bed again before the next bedtime). It really is a simple design that is very effective.

Not Waterproof
By RNVazquez
from Easton, PA
I have owned this mattress protector for a while now (prob close to a year) but felt the need to write a review since I have had problems with this mattess pad for the past few months. The mattress protector worked the first few times our daughter had an accident, but recently the mattress protector hasn't worked at all. It doesn't absorb the fluid and her fitted sheet and mattress pad get wet. Thank goodness we have a waterproof mattress pad or else the mattress would have gotten soaked multiple times. I've been very disappointed because instead of just removing this mattress protector to wash it I have to strip her whole bed to wash all her sheets....very inconvenient. I'm not sure why this isn't absorbent anymore. The waterproof underlining isn't peeling and everything appears intact. Needless to say I won't be using this protector anymore and will have to go out and buy the disposable ones.

Save sheets

Saves changing sheets. Easy to use and easy to change. Great while potty training and for occasional accident.
Great Product!
By Jill
from Storm Lake, IA
I bought the product to help my 3 year old daughter with potty training during the night. I had been buying the bed mat's, but began to get tired of buying them every week and still having to change sheets if the mat became undone over the night. I found this and I'm soo HAPPY! It holds up great when washing, keeps the bed dry at night so I'm not having to wash entire bedding set's everyday. I also feel it keep's her dry too in terms that she doesn't wake up soaked. The mat stay's in place b/c you can tuck it in on the sides of the bed. My 3 yr old is a pretty crazy sleeper and has not moved it from it's place on the bed. I did buy 2 so I can rotate them. Very Happy & Pleased with this product.
Not As Good As It Used to Be
By Courtney
from La Verne, CA
My neighbor gave me one of these pads when she no longer needed it for her children. It works perfectly and has held up to countless washings. I ordered another and had to throw it away after a few months. The waterproof layer on the underneath began to peel away, and then it leaked. It seems like the quality has declined since my neighbor bought hers.

Wish it covered whole matress
By Mom of bedwetter
from NY
Since kids often move around in bed while sleeping and since kids also spend a lot of time in bed while sick (e.g., while nauseous), I wish this product covered the whole mattress as, say, a fitted sheet does. Also, since our child sometimes co-sleeps with us (or just crawls onto our bed to cuddle), I wish it were available for a king-sized mattress. One for our sofa would be great, too. I also don't know why it can't be made with thicker, more durable waterproof lining; friends have a similar product that doesn't require them to also purchase waterproof diaper covers for there heavy bed-wetter.
Not Impressed - leaks
By Busy Mom of 2
from New York
Unfortunately, this leaks. Not over the sides, but directly through it somehow. Obviously this negates the whole point and is a complete failure at serving the purpose it is intended.
Extremely Disappointed
By JanRN
from Victorville, Ca
About Me Medical Professional
I ordered this mattress protector to assist with night training my daughter. The packaging stated it would hold 4cups of fluid-not true! Twice my daughter has had an accident (most definitely less than 4 cups of urine!) and both times this "waterproof" cover leaked. Thank goodness I have a true waterproof fitted mattress cover over her mattress, as her mattress would have been wet also. I also followed all cleaning and application instructions completely. I am usually very happy with the products from One Step Ahead, so I'm sorely disappointed in the poor quality and false advertisement of this product as well as the "excuses" offered up by this company in response to others complaints regarding this item. Maybe this was a high quality and effective product in the past, but whatever changes were made in the manufacturing recently have left little to be desired.

Assistance Center of Collin County honors founder, celebrates 35 years

Former local dignitaries and supporters met Wednesday in Plano to honor longtime volunteers for the Assistance Center of Collin County (ACCC) and its founder, former state Sen. Florence Shapiro.
The luncheon was also an opportunity for the center to celebrate its 35th anniversary and recognize those who have helped it grow from a referral center to a hands-on facility that provides direct support for its clients.
"We want to touch and serve more people," said Tanya Sastoque, ACCC executive director. "We are getting about 100 new clients who've never been served by the center a month, and there are about 160 who we cannot serve because we do not have the money. Our goal is to serve these people because there is a need here."
Upon opening in 1977 as the Information & Referral Center of Collin County, the center was established as a not-for-profit organization to "inform, guide, direct and link people to appropriate human service resources." Today the center offers deserving families financial assistance for medical and dental care, prescriptions, gas housing, food, clothing, utilities, school supplies and other necessities.
Despite losing grant funding from United Way - about 48 percent of its annual budget - the center managed to help nearly 18,000 people in Collin County last year.
Facing monumental challenges, the center turned to the public.
Thanks in large part to newly forged partnerships with local corporations and entities such as LegacyTexas Bank, the Junior League of Collin County and the City of Plano, the center has kept its doors open.
Texas Health Presbyterian Plano recently donated $20,000 to the center, a contribution that will help continue annual programs like the center's back-to-school and Christmas fundraisers.
Last June, the center also did some restructuring allowing it to cut operating expenses in half. In terms of meeting client needs, the center is establishing collaborations enabling them to share client history data with other agencies. The partnerships will allow them to better track needs and see where these individuals are receiving help to prevent duplication of services.
"Last year, we proved that we can succeed as a community funded organization," said Steve Sutton, ACCC board president. "The good news is that you doubled down on your investment. In two years, the contributions from the community have doubled. Now we have a viable and sustainable organization that can allow them to move forward in their work."
Former Plano City Councilmember Pat Evans was one of the first volunteers at I&R and remembered when its operations took place in a small room in the Douglas Community, its primary role to hand out contact information for other social services in the area to those in need.
Although that may pale in comparison to what the assistance center does now, Evans believes it planted the foundational roots for knowing what resources were out there and where the gaps were.
"We had a little book with names of agencies ... and there weren't very many of them. It was a very difficult job," she said. "I think I&R was the beginning of growth and the recognition of what we could impact here. Perhaps we did more than we thought we were going to do when we started this agency."
From 2010-2011, for example, homelessness in Plano increased 275 percent, and 106 percent countywide, with homeless teens the fastest-growing demographic.
The assistance center helped nearly 18,000 people last year and welcomes about 4,000 walk-ins a year. It also provided $80,000 in financial assistance to prevent homelessness, more than half of which went toward paying utility bills to prevent shut-offs.
"We cannot plan for crisis or setbacks," Sastoque said. "These things happen ... and we get to help these people so they're situation does not spiral out of control."
The luncheon was also an opportunity to honor three of its longest-tenured volunteers and announce its newest change - renaming the front lobby of its office off E. 18th St. the Florence Shapiro Welcome Center.
Shapiro, who sat on the Plano City Council 1979-1990, also served as its mayor from 1990 to 1992 before leaving for the state senate, from which she officially retired two weeks ago.
While the guest of honor was touched at the level of gratitude displayed at Wednesday's event, she was quick to recognize others who helped her make the assistance center a reality.
"This is not a project that is done by any one person. I am honored that Tanya and the board have decided that I should be honored after 35 years - that is a wonderful thing," she said. "But I am not the person who did everything. I have lots of people that worked for lots of days trying to put together this organization that afterwards spent years on. That's what really counts.
"The idea isn't what really counts - it's the worker bees. It is a joy when you close your eyes and think about where you were in 1977 and wake up and look around and think, 'What a wonderful community that we all have helped to build.'"

The hotel was very comfortable and convenient. Our room was spacious, clean, and well maintained. If you want to be in the heart of Old Quebec and walk... to everything, this would not be the place. But if you arrive by car, it is only ten minutes from the heart of town, there is free parking, and our rate was the best in town. The front desk staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant adjacent to the hotel, though we did not eat there, preferring to try the smaller bistros and cafes in town. отзыв дан гостем Hotels.com 16/05/2013

versatile addition to wardrobe
neck is baggy!
By LinLin
from Scotland
The color is great, but the neck is incredibly baggy. It provides no snugness or warmth at all at the neck. Not snug enough to be a turtleneck, not baggy enough to be a cowl collar.I don't know what to use this for - maybe cut off the neck and use it as long underwear. I live too far away for it to make financial sense to return it.
By Northwoods Lady
from Northern Wisconsin
This looked so nice on line -- was extremely disappointed when the color (I ordered Ruby) was much much darker and you couldn't even see that there was a pattern on the top at all. Had to send it back.
Nice but not me

About Me Casual, Classic
The neck is very look, not "turtleneck tight", not sure if it would be baggy with washes & wear. Color was more greyish purple than I expected.
pretty turtleneck

I returned this top because the sleeves were a little snug on me. If you have regular sized arms this is a great buy.

Happy with this purchase
By Tech Editor
from Damascus MD
This pullover has worked well with a vest over it this winter. Fabric is somewhat lightweight and includes patterned "burnout" areas; be prepared for some show-through of what you have on underneath. I am careful to wear beige undergarments when wearing the shirt by itself, which I expect to do most often during the spring and fall. I personally like the loose, almost cowl, turtleneck; those looking for a tighter neck may wish to order another garment. The slightly longer cut and longer sleeves fit my 5 ft-7 inch, XXL frame well. Could be a bit larger in the bust, but it's OK.
Classic style with a twist
By Tinker
from Lancaster, PA
fit is great, flattering
Prettier in the picture
By Susan C
from Delaware
This looked so beautiful in the catalog. I was disappointed by the fabric. When it arrived, it was not attractive at all.
Too thin
By Lake woman
from PA
Although the overall patterned fabric is nice, it is a bit too thin. I can only wear it under things, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting something with a pattern!
Regret sizing was not correct
By Anne the librarian
from Athens, Ga
Unable to use this products because the sleeves were much too long, and although I use a large this was the largest large I have ever tried on. If China is going to market in the US they should be required to have a standardized measurement so you receive the size you wear.Thank you for allowing me to comment on this product.
OK but not great
By Teacher who needs to stay warm out there
from Akron, Ohio
More attractive in the catalog picture than in reality; not quite the quality I expected from Woolrich.
Women's Ridgeway Turtleneck
By Jim
from Athens, GA
My wife likes it.
So wearable!
By Mtn Hopper
from Nashua, NH
I put this on out of the shipping envelope, and kept it on. It was soft, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down. The shirt is well made, and is a good weight. Love it!
Ridgeway T neck unique
By jec
from Lowell, MA
I love this turtleneck. It has a nice burnout pattern to it which makes it quite unique and pretty . I love the color of red that it is. I almost got the bluish green color because that is my favorite color, but I have enough of that. The red caught my eye. My primary colors to wear are red and green. I got size xxl and the sleeves might be a little long, but not too much. Otherwise, very roomy fit and very comfortable. plenty of room in case it shrinks. Not too big, if it does not shrink. I am normally a size 20. I also like that this top is not 100% cotton, but also has some polyester in it. It has some wicking properties I think. It is pretty enough to wear alone with jeans, but can also wear while doing outdoor winter sports.
