The thought of having breast cancer is frightening to everyone, and especially devastating to women. However, ignoring the possibility that you may develop breast cancer or avoiding the processes to detect cancer can be dangerous.
Although there are some women who are at higher risk, the fact is that all women are at risk for breast cancer. That's why it's so important to follow this three-step plan for preventive care. Although breast cancer can't be prevented at the present time, early detection of problems provides the greatest possibility of successful treatment.
Routine care is the best way to keep you and your breasts healthy. Although detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages is the main goal of routine breast care, other benign conditions, such as fibrocystic breasts, are often discovered through routine care.
Step 1. Breast self-examination (BSE)
The American Cancer Society (ACS) says that breast self-exams are an option for women ages 20 and older as a means of familiarizing themselves with their breasts so they can notice changes more easily. BSE should be done regularly at the same time every month. Regular BSE teaches you to know how your breasts normally feel so that you can more readily detect any change. Changes may include:
Development of a lump
A discharge other than breast milk
Swelling of the breast
Skin irritation or dimpling
Nipple abnormalities (for example, pain, redness, scaliness, or turning inward)
If you notice any of these changes, see your health care provider as soon as possible for evaluation.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) doesn't recommend breast self-exams (BSEs) because evidence suggests BSEs do not lower risk for death from breast cancer. Talking with your doctor about the benefits and limitations can help you decide if you should start performing BSEs.
Step 2. Clinical examination
A breast examination by a doctor or nurse trained to evaluate breast problems should be part of a woman's physical examination. The ACS recommends:
Between ages 20 and 39, women should have a clinical breast examination (CBE) by a health professional every three years.
After age 40, women should have a breast examination by a health professional every year.
The USPSTF, however, believes there isn't enough evidence to assess the value of CBEs for women ages 40 and older. Women should talk with their doctors or other health care providers about their personal risk factors and make a decision about whether they should have a CBE.
A clinical breast examination by a doctor or nurse is very similar to the procedures used for breast self-examination. Women who routinely practice BSE will be prepared to ask questions and have their concerns addressed during this time.
Step 3. Mammography
Mammography is a low-dose X-ray of the breasts to find changes that may occur. It's the most common imaging technique. Mammography can detect cancer or other problems before a lump becomes large enough to be felt, as well as assist in the diagnosis of other breast problems. However, a biopsy is required to confirm the presence of cancer.
Experts have different recommendations for mammography. Currently, the USPSTF recommends screening every two years for women between ages 50 and 74. The ACS recommends yearly screening for all women ages 40 and older. Women should talk with their doctors or other health care providers about their personal risk factors before making a decision about when to start getting mammograms or how often they should get them.
A diagnostic mammogram may be required when a questionable area is found during a screening mammogram.
Both the National Cancer Institute and the ACS suggest that women who may be at increased risk for breast cancer should talk with their doctors or other health care providers about whether to begin having mammograms at an earlier age.

Stonington - Zoning officials will investigate whether a new, large mural on the side of Handlebar Café and a pair of handlebars overhanging its roof, added as part of the filming of a television show this week, violate the town's sign regulations and require a permit.
Typically, a property owner must obtain a permit from the town before it can put up any new sign.
This case is unique, according to First Selectman Ed Haberek, who is serving as acting director of planning, because the renovations to the bar were kept a secret until they were unveiled Wednesday night. Haberek said town officials did tell the TV show, "Bar Rescue," that it could not go ahead with a plan to place a large sign on the roof of the 210 S. Broad St. bar.
He said Building Official Wayne Greene and Fire Marshal Kevin Burns inspected the building and found it to be in compliance with building and fire codes.
Haberek said he will discuss the sign and handlebars with Town Planner Keith Burns, and he expects the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the issue when it meets Tuesday. It could require the bar to apply for a permit for the two items.
A team from the Spike TV show worked from Saturday to Wednesday to renovate the bar. The show and its host, Jon Taffer, help drinking establishments "transform themselves into vibrant profitable businesses."
Taffer, who is described as having three decades of experience in the food, beverage, hotel and hospitality business, comes in and make changes to decor, menus and operations, sometimes upsetting the owners.
The Handlebar renovation is one of 10 new episodes being filmed that will air this summer.

Game of the Week:
Manchester United vs. Liverpool FC: Sun. Jan. 13, 5:30 a.m. PST, Old Trafford
Bay Area faithful may have their eyes set on the 49ers' playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, but the palpable drama will resurface some 12 hours later in Manchester, England.
Manchester United face their bitter northeastern rivals Liverpool in what looks to be a mouthwatering encounter. United looks to stay at the summit of the Premier League and move up to 55 points off of their 22nd match. Liverpool, whose season has not reached their newly elevated expectations under the guidance of first-year manager Brendan Rodgers, simply seeks points. Qualification for a spot in European competition next season may just appease the Kop faithful.
United's blistering start to the season has been pinpointed to the arrival of Dutchman, and former Arsenal striker, Robin van Persie. The talisman's prolific goal-scoring run has seen him net 16 league goals in 21 league games so far. Yet, Liverpool's much-maligned and divisive Luis Suarez has also re-discovered his goal-scoring abilities. The Uruguayan has bagged 15 league goals, including braces in his previous two Premier League matches.
While a 21 point gap displaces Liverpool from Manchester United, the magnitude of the match will draw on decades of competitive battle. Liverpool's recent rich vein of form has seen the Merseysiders win their previous four matches. Similarly, United is undefeated in their past nine matches from all competitions. With two short-tempered squads, fans will be the greatest beneficiaries of Sunday's excitement.
Notable Matches:
Manchester City vs. Arsenal: Sun. Jan. 13, 8:30 a.m. PST, Emirates
Sunday's drama continues an hour after the conclusion of the Old Trafford battle. Arsenal's Emirates will play host to Man City in a matchup between the sixth and second sides in the Premier League. To the unrest of Gunner's fans, Arsenal's current position would not allow for Champions League qualification and may lead to the termination of Arsene Wenger's tenure. To make matters worse, Arsenal's leading goal-scorer, Theo Walcott, has yet to agree upon a new contract despite netting an audacious hat-trick against Newcastle last week.
City is in pursuit of its second consecutive Premier League title despite a seven point discrepancy behind neighbors Manchester United. The recently financed club is led by a three-pronged attack in Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, and Carlos Tevez.
Last season's matchup at Emirates left the City faithful in a state of bewilderment. Spaniard Mikel Arteta hit an 87th minute wonder strike to give Arsenal the three points in a 1-0 win.
Arsene Wenger has built his well-deserved reputation on earning points from hard-fought matchups and the Frenchman may field a tactically-astute side ready to seize the given opportunity.
Malaga vs. FC Barcelona: Sun. Jan. 13, 12:00 p.m. PST, Estadio La Rosaleda
First-place Barcelona will travel to the Estadio La Rosaleda in a matchup against fourth place Malaga. Barcelona recorded four first-half goals against Espanyol to stroll to victory this past weekend. The Andalusian side, though, may prove more formidable to the Catalonians. Malaga's combination of a veteran attack supplemented with a young nucleus has catapulted the once overlooked side into fourth place.
Barcelona is expected to secure three points from the match but away games can prove difficult for even the best of sides. Messi has netted an astonishing 27 league goals in 18 league games and Malaga may fall prey to the predatory diminutive Argentine.
Juventus vs. Parma: Sun. Jan. 13, 6:00 a.m. PST, Stadio Ennio Tardini
A multi-faceted Juventus attack will look to maintain its first place position against the eighth-spot Parma. Juventus leads Serie A with 44 points from 19 matches and is ready to gather three more off of the upcoming away game. Parma's attack is led by Ishak Belfodil's six strikes. The 20-year-old Algerian and former French youth national team member has embraced his first season with Parma. He may be the catalyst the side needs to climb up the Serie A ladder.
The Turin side should grab three points but fans may be entitled to goals galore in this encounter.
Bay Area's Top 10 stories from 2012
2012 has proven to be a memorable year for Bay Area sports fans. The Giants miraculously won their second World Series in three years. The A's were in first place in their division for only one day but it was the one day that mattered. The 49ers channeled the glory from the past years under Bill Walsh and nearly made the Super Bowl.
The Earthquakes, though, were no strangers to drama. Posting a league-best record of 19-6-9, the Quakes demanded that their fans stay at the game until the very end. The berth of the "Goonies" arose to the delight of the organization and the Quakes' faithful. A three-pronged attack from Chris Wondolowski, Steven Lenhart, and Alan Gordon led San Jose into the playoffs at times to the bewilderment of their Bay Area fans.
Daniel Brown of the San Jose Mercury News details the top 10 moments from 2012. Find the full article here.
One week ago, our country was shocked and overcome with grief as details of a tragedy in Newtown, Conn. came to light.
As Washington Post soccer writer Steve Goff reported today, the news was especially significant to Earthquakes forward Marcus Tracy. The former Wake Forest product grew up in Newtown and his mother used to teach at the elementary school where 26 people were shot and killed on Friday, Dec. 14.
Tracy, his brother and a group of friends decided they wanted to do something to represent their community and pay tribute to those who lost their lives. They produced an original song and tribute that you can see above. Tracy also emailed sjearthquakes.com the following statement:
"When CNN first stated how many people lost their lives, it was complete shock and disbelief. It was unfathomable to think that this happened in the same town I lived in for 18 years, two miles away, at the school my Mom once taught at. It's still hard to believe. It's a very real reminder whenever I leave the house and see all of the media, police from out of town and out of state, the volume of traffic; it's amazing, though, to see how the town has come together to uplift those most affected by the tragedy. It hurts you as a resident of Newtown that something like this could happen, so just try and imagine how parents, brothers, sisters and spouses are feeling right now. You can't; it's impossible. After days of grieving and trying to comprehend what the hell happened, me and a few friends got together to think about what we could do to help uplift this town and its people. So I turned to one of the only things (besides soccer) that I know and love: music.
I produce music as a hobby and have a production team with my brother and my friend, Anthony Santella. My brother is in Boston, so me and Anthony led the way. We produced the entire song together, but brought in a few of our other friends and created this video/picture montage tribute.
It was therapeutic for us, but also a means, we felt, to represent our town. Right now the whole world knows the town Newtown, CT for one reason only. But Newtown means something much more to each one of us. This is the only way we knew how to speak back to the community and the world that, yes, we were hit hard and suffered great loss, but we will bounce back. And also our way of recognizing and lifting up the 26 people who needlessly lost their lives that day."
The club's collective thoughts are with Marcus and Newtown during this holiday season.
Clint Dempsey named US Soccer "Male Athlete of the Year":
The Nacogdoches attacker has had a memorable 2012. After recording six goals for the US Men's National Team, including a memorable strike to beat Italy, Dempsey has received his third "Male Athlete of the Year" honor by US Soccer. Dempsey couldn't stop scoring for club or country in 2012. The former Fulham hit-man left the club as its all-time leading Premier League scorer. In a much-publicized transfer saga, Dempsey switched to North London side Tottenham. Dempsey has three league goals for the Spurs who currently sit in fourth place in the Premier League table.
For more information on Dempsey's award, click here.
Lionel Messi keeps scoring:
Ninety goals in a calendar year and still one more game to play. The diminutive Argentine saw Gerd Muller's 40-year-old record of 85 goals and didn't blink. Messi will lineup against Villadolid on Sat., Dec. 22 to conclude a historic goal-scoring year. FC Barcelona must also feel relieved to have secured Messi's abilities for the long-term. Messi, Puyol, and Xavi all extended their stays with the only club that they have ever played for professionally. Messi signed until 2018 while Puyol and Xavi are now contracted until 2016. The 25-year-old Argentine has 25 La Liga goals in 16 games played this season as well as having netted 22 braces in the 2012 calendar year.
Find out more about Messi and Co. here.
Corinthians host Club World Cup:
The nightmare for Rafa Benitez can't get any darker. After almost having successfully rejuvenated Fernando Torres' career circa 2008, Benitez lost his most important game to date during his ever-increasingly short tenure as manager of Chelsea. Chelsea lost to Brazilian outfit Corinthians 1-0 and are still trophy-less after their dramatic 2012 Champions League title win.
For the full recap, click here.
Zenit St. Petersburg fan group demands all-white, heterosexual team:
The Landscrona, the largest fan group of Zenit St. Petersburg, has demanded that their team be composed strictly of white, heterosexual players. The blatantly intolerant mandate is somehow justified by the fan group that these players are "only worthy" of the great city of St. Petersburg. The comments have not come without ramifications. Manager Luciano Spalleti has reiterated his firm stance against such demands and has pledged to do everything in his power to increase tolerance among the fan base.

Man City denies rumors that it will buy MLS team:
Last week, rumors swirled that Man City was positioning itself to purchase an MLS expansion team in New York City. The Citizens have denied such claims even though the club looks to expand its brand stateside in a growing soccer market. City was reported to purchase a team for $100 million and then re-sell a minority portion to local investors. Among notable names involved in the possible deal was none other than David Beckham. The new team would've played out of Queens.

Games of the Week:
Liverpool FC vs. Fulham FC, Sat. Dec. 22, 9:30 a.m. PST, Anfield
With the holiday season approaching, many set aside the time to reflect on the year past. The Barclay's Premier League will reach its near midway point before the holiday break and finds that the usual suspects are at both the summit and the basement of the league standings.
If the 2011/2012 Premier League season would be any indication of team's performances in the 2012/2013 season, the upcoming Liverpool FC vs. Fulham match at Anfield may take on more significance for European qualification than the current sides sitting in the 12th and 13th spots respectively.
Liverpool has undergone significant front office changes in recent years. John Henry and Tom Werner's Fenway Sports Group purchased the famed club in October, 2010 and have set their sights on returning the club to the prominence it found in the 1970's.
Former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers now holds the reigns for the Merseysiders. Yet, he is still waiting to align the club's on-field success with that of their ownership's vision.
Saturday's match against Fulham may be the inflection point for a team striving to break into the top four. Despite suffering a 3-1 loss at the hands of Aston Villa last Saturday, Liverpool must now re-group and prepare for the final months of the season.
Expect an open match between the two sides. Fulham's refined Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov has a knack for taking advantage of opportunistic chances.
AS Roma vs. AC Milan, Sat. Dec. 22, 11:45 a.m. PST, Stadio Olimpico
Rome's Stadio Olimpico will host the traditionally heralded matchup between two sides admittedly underperforming. AS Roma sits in sixth place and AC Milan are right behind them; two teams perennially fighting for not only a Champions League berth but the Serie A crown.
AC Milan's performances to date have fluctuated as they try to find their offensive prowess. The loss of journeyman Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have left an indelible mark on their goal-scoring abilities. With rumors that Robinho may leave in January, Milan's attack may be on a precipitous decline. Young Stephan El-Shaaarawy, though, has taken advantage of the opportunity left by Ibrahimovic's exit. The Italian has tallied 14 goals in 17 Serie A games this season and is hungry for more.
Roma's attack is once again spearheaded by an Italian presence. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has recorded eight league strikes while forever young 36-year-old Francesco Totti has added six more.
Points will be crucial for these two sides as they fight for a place in Europe.
Notable Matchups:
Manchester United vs. Swansea City, Sun. Dec. 23, 5:30 a.m. PST, Liberty Stadium
The "Swans" will host the matchup between first place Manchester United and the 10th place Welsh side. Michael Laudrup has helped Swansea pick up where Brendan Rodgers left them last year; embracing a dynamic brand of passing soccer commonly not found in the British Isles. Swansea may be playing some of the best soccer in the Premier League. Relatively unknown Spanish striker, Michu, has taken the league by storm. The former Rayo Vallecano has provided 12 league goals for Swansea and seems to do nothing wrong in the process. United will be led by Dutchman Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Although United are expected to walk away with three points, the Liberty Stadium has proven difficult for many away teams.
Real Madrid vs. Malaga, Sat. Dec. 22, 11 a.m. PST, Estadio La Rosaleda
Real Madrid are desperate to resurrect their winning ways. After a loss and a tie in their past two matches, Real Madrid sit in third place in the La Liga table; four points behind cross-town rivals Atletico and 13 points behind archrivals Barcelona. Add internal strife to the equation, a foreseeable managerial change in the coming weeks, and Real Madrid may be all but out as repeat league title contenders. Fourth place Malaga will be no easy team or place to play. The Champions League side has found a recipe of success through a motley crew of individuals. Madrid may be in for another surprise and, should Madrid not get a win, it may be the last match for Jose Mourinho.
Does it get any better than a seven-goal, multi-comeback California Clasico?
According to MLSsoccer.com, it doesn't. San Jose's 4-3 win against the LA Galaxy on June 30 at Stanford Stadium was the pick for Best Game of 2012. The match featured a pair of rallies - LA from 1-0 down to take a 3-1 lead and San Jose from 3-1 down to win 4-3 - as well as goals from some of the most recognizable faces in the league: Landon Donovan, David Beckham and, of course, Chris Wondolowski.
In a year filled with memorable games (aka Goonie moments), the stunner at Stanford Stadium tops the charts. However, let the debate begin for which game was second best.
Was it Steven Lenhart's 'Blond-Haired Bedlam at Buck Shaw' against the Chicago Fire on July 28, Alan Gordon's header to knock off LA at The Home Depot Center on May 23 or maybe the stoppage-time thriller against Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 11? Vote now!

The New Stadium blog will feature updates regarding the club's development project on Coleman Ave. Keep an eye out for Q&As, photos and breaking news about the facility. This week, SJEarthquakes.com features Part 2 of an interview with club president Dave Kaval about the latest new stadium developments.
SJEQ: One of the topics of discussion is the Supporters' Section. You have been working with the club's Supporters to finalize the design of this area – could you talk about the process and what decisions you've made?
DK: It's been great. We worked with each of our different groups – the Ultras and the Casbah – to work on what they felt was the best set-up for them. I think one of the positives that came out of those discussions was to create a club area where our Supporters can congregate right on the pitch, adjacent to their seats and the stands, where they can have their own area to arrive early, make and set up tifo, enjoy their own food and beverage options and have their own clubhouse and place to hang out. That's one of the unique pieces to our stadium and I think will really enhance the Supporters' culture; it gives them their own space that they can use – with some guidelines – to really develop their group and membership. The section will be right in the end zone and will be a centerpiece for everyone in the stadium to see. We're happy to have worked with our Supporters on that. It's a bit derivative of what Sporting Kansas City has done, but I think the biggest difference is that ours will be all of the end zone as opposed to the corner.
SJEQ: You recently hired a project manager for the new stadium. What can you tell us about David Albert?
DK: He has a ton of experience in Silicon Valley and has worked with Santa Clara University, managing a number of their projects. He's managed projects with Devcon, our construction partner. We're thrilled to have him. There are so many moving pieces on this project – not even just with our own, but with the developments in the surrounding area; the office buildings, community soccer fields, all that stuff needs to be handled in an effective way and we're confident David is the right person for the job.
SJEQ: You walked right into our next topic. What can you tell us about the commercial development project surrounding the stadium?
DK: I think one of the key things to keep in mind is that this isn't just a soccer stadium. This is a redevelopment project for North San Jose where we're creating sort of a gateway into San Jose from Santa Clara off Coleman Ave.; what a difference this place will be from the days when it was a tank factory, creating a beautiful 18,000-seat soccer stadium, four community soccer fields, our training complex, a really awesome development around the facilities with bars, restaurants and commercial development – we're really proud to be spearheading this whole thing. Obviously, this massive project will occur in phases.
I think one of the key things to keep in mind is that this isn't just a soccer stadium. This is a redevelopment project for North San Jose where we're creating sort of a gateway into San Jose from Santa Clara off Coleman Ave.
SJEQ: Could you give fans an update regarding the community fields being built on the site?
DK: We've been working with Interstate Grading and Paving, the contractor for those fields, and have met with the City of San Jose. The project is in its design/development phase. They're going to have four fields going in as well as a fieldhouse, restrooms and concessions. Each of the fields will be lit and they'll be located next to our current training field. We will manage these fields once they've been built and our academy will train there, which is an added benefit. It's a big development and an important one that shows the synergy between our stadium project and the community developments surrounding it.
SJEQ: What other events do you expect to house at the new stadium?
DK: In terms of sporting events, rugby is one that we're looking seriously at. We've looked at high school football and things of that nature. Obviously, the timing has to work out, but right now we're focusing on laying out a schedule that would allow for these other events to come in while maintaining the playing surface for first team use. I also think there are opportunities for festivals and corporate events in the Epicenter. Over a dozen companies wanting to rent that area out for the hospitality or even for product launches have contacted me. I think that area will get even more use than we might have expected and so we need to be careful that we design the area to maximize use.
SJEQ: Speaking of corporations and the new stadium, where are we at in terms of naming rights?
DK: We've had in-depth meetings with the decision makers of a few Fortune 100 companies. We're not ready to make an announcement yet, but we feel that we've made some great progress. There's been more interest than we initially anticipated and we want to make sure that we partner with the right brand and find a partnership that furthers their marketing efforts while creating a great name for the new stadium – a win-win situation. These are long-term deals and so you have to make sure that you have the right partner and a partner that makes sense both for the team and the community.
SJEQ: The sales team has a unique bonus program while working through the seat selection queue. Could you shed a little insight on that program and why a certain ticket operations manager had to drop and give 10 push-ups at our last staff meeting?
DK: We have a cool incentive program built in for our sales reps that our vice president of sales Jared Shawlee put together where if you sell a seat, there's a huge board with sticky notes; on the back of the note is a prize or a punk that you can play on your manager or director. For example, your manager might have to sing a song or do push-ups. It's been a fun way to excite reps about the process. I think they've been waiting for this moment for a long time and our staff has a high morale around the stadium project, but this is another way to make things interesting and invoke the spirit of the Goonies.
SJEQ: Is there anything else you would like to share with fans about the process?
DK: Overall, we're excited to be in the thick of things with this project. There's a tremendous amount of work going into this on a daily basis. We have structure meetings where we're working from pretty much dawn until dusk with 360 Architecture and Devcon Construction. Big decisions are being made each day. We're meeting with subcontractors and working on that side of the equation. We're focused on making sure this project is done right and that our fans have a great product in the end.
Busch accepts Heart of an Ultra award:
Jack's Bar in San Jose played host to the 1906 Ultras' award ceremony. The Earthquakes' fanatics heaped praise on their entrusted leader between the pipes – Jon Busch. Busch, 36, was the recipient of the esteemed "Heart of an Ultra" award. The recognition personifies the desired commitment indicative of the impassioned fan group standing on the north side of Buck Shaw Stadium.
Busch, who habitually reciprocates his appreciation to the 1906 Ultras, was thankful for such an honor. "It means a lot," Busch explained. "It is the icing on the cake when the fans accept you. You become one of them. It is a tremendous honor. "
Alan Black discusses the 1906 Ultras and Jon Busch's award here:
Grantland honors the Quakes:
The Quakes storied 2012 season has seen the accompaniment of many postseason awards. As Jon Busch's Heart of an Ultra explains, some are more sentimental than others.
Grantland's Graham Parker honored the men in black and blue in yet another twist on the traditional awards banquet.
A full-throttle offensive attack left many teams in the Quakes' wake in 2012. Franchise-bests of a 19-6-9 record and 72 goals placed a new benchmark for both the franchise's and league's history. As such, the Quakes were honored with "Team of the Year" by Parker.
The Quakes were also the recipients of, "Game of the Year", commemorating the 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the LA Galaxy in front of 50,391 incredulous fans at Stanford Stadium. The match saw Wondolowski's stunning back-heel strike, comebacks, off-the-ball-drama, and skirmishes.

Messi records number 86:
Lionel Messi can't stop from scoring goals. His Barcelona team has 43 points out of a possible 45 and are comfortably positioned six points ahead of second-place Atletico Madrid. The FC Barcelona youth product, one of many from the renowned La Masia academy, netted his 22nd and 23rd league goals of the season against Real Betis over the weekend.
The brace moved Messi to the all-time scoring leader in a calendar year. His 86 goals passed Gerd Muller's 40 year record of 85. Messi has now scored 76 goals for FC Barcelona in 2012 while also adding 12 for Argentina. With three more games left in 2012 for the Argentine, Messi may dive head-first into the 90's.
For Messi's reaction, click here:
A weekly insight into local, national, and international soccer, "Anything but Quakes" previews the best matches of the week ahead.
Game of the Week:
FC Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid: Sun. Dec. 16, 12 p.m. PST
This past weekend's Manchester derby fell nothing short of the drama it promised. Robin van Persie's 92nd minute free-kick, deflecting past a cheating Joe Hart, gave the Red Devils a 3-2 victory and a six point lead in the Premier League.
Meanwhile across the Celtic Sea, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid strolled to another comfortable three points. Iconic strikers Lionel Messi and Radamel Falcao led their clubs, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid respectively, to victory and maintained the first and second spots in La Liga.
The two South American strikers have been nothing short of sensational in the past calendar year. Messi's brace on Sunday gave him 86 goals and cemented his position as the highest all-time scorer in a calendar year, one more than Gerd Muller's 85. The 25-year-old Argentine has already netted 23 La Liga goals through 15 games and still has three games remaining to improve upon his record. The Colombian Falcao, named after the legendary AS Roma and Brazilian midfielder, has embraced his namesack's industriousness and netted a cool five goals against Deportivo La Coruna last weekend. He currently has 40 La Liga goals in 48 games.
FC Barcelona's Camp Nou will play host to Sunday's 12 p.m. PST matchup. Although Messi had an injury scare ahead of last week's game, the Argentine and company look to be fully fit for the crucial matchup against Atletico. To many of their competitors' envy, FC Barcelona sits on 43 points through 15 matches. Atletico trails with 37 points.
With Messi and Falcao firing on all cylinders, fans may be treated to an offensive exhibition.
Notable Matchups:
Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Monchengladbach: Fri. Dec. 14, 11:30 a.m. PST
Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena will host this Bundesliga battle between top spot Bayern and eighth spot Monchengladbach. After 16 matches, Bayern is in the driver's seat with 41 points. Croatian and Euro 2012 phenom Mario Mandzukic paces Bayern with nine goals.
Fulham vs. Queens Park Rangers: Sat. Dec. 15, 7: 00 a.m. PST
Queens Park Rangers are still in search of their first win of the season. Fulham earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the expense of a struggling Newcastle side on Monday. This London derby will either help propel Fulham back into their UEFA Cup ambition or start QPR's ascension out of relegation
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Lyon: Sun. Dec. 16, 12:00 p.m. PST
A battle between the number one and two teams in Ligue 1, Lyon vs. PSG should provide fireworks. Enigmatic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will once again try to lead the nation's capitol to three points all the while attempting to secure the career of his under-fire manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ibrahimovic has an astounding 14 goals in 13 games played for second-place PSG while the athletic Bafetimbi Gomis leads Lyon with 10 strikes.
The New Stadium blog will feature updates regarding the club's development project on Coleman Ave. Keep an eye out for Q&As, photos and breaking news about the facility. This week, SJEarthquakes.com sat down with club president Dave Kaval to discuss the latest stadium news. This post will run as a two-part series with the second installment to come on Thursday, Dec. 13. Topics included in the latter version will include: Supporters' Section, the new project manager, commercial development surrounding the project and naming rights. Stay tuned for more!
SJEarthquakes.com: Looking back on Groundbreaking Day, what was the most resounding memory that you have taken away from the event?
Dave Kaval: The thing about the groundbreaking day that was really special to me was how many people from the community turned out to support our effort. One of the really cool things was people who brought their own shovels because it showed such an organic support that everybody showed up to support the team and the stadium project together. There were a couple of moments where I saw families with shovels of all different sizes and that was one of the coolest parts.
SJEQ: What was the idea behind Groundbreaking Day?
DK: In thinking about what type of team we are, we're very close with the Bay Area community and we have a great relationship with San Jose; we've been here over 40 years and I wanted a groundbreaking that wasn't a golden shovel event with owners and executives – I wanted something where everybody could participate. That's what we are – we're an accessible team that's connected to the community in a unique way and I felt that breaking a Guinness World Record together was an embodiment of that philosophy.
"Right now with the Environmental Impact Report, we were limited to 18,000 seats – we think that's a great number to start with and we'll have a great demand for those seats, but over time we can decide to enclose that last end." ~ Kaval on new stadium's horseshoe design
SJEQ: Now that the club has set a precedent for involving the community in the construction process, should fans expect to be included in future milestones?
DK: Absolutely. I think as we look at many of the milestones to come, whether it's erecting the first steel or putting in a seat, I want to make sure that we have a system in place where our fans and the community can be involved.
SJEQ: Now that ground has been broken, what's the next step?
DK: We're getting the permits now from the City and that's a huge step. We've been working with the folks in the planning department to get the necessary approvals so we can get ready and break ground in terms of the actual superstructure. That's something that will happen early next year and will take through 2013 to build the stadium. We're doing everything we can to get to that date, to make sure that the stadium is designed correctly, we have all the amenities in there and that it's a great facility for our fans.
SJEQ: Back in October you mentioned 2014 as the target opening date. Is the project still on that timeline?
DK: Yes, we're still on track to open on time for the 2014 season. We're very excited about that. We have one more year at Buck Shaw, but in 2014 we'll have our new home open.
SJEQ: As I understand it, you're working to finalize seat selection in the coming weeks. What options are you looking at?
DK: We've been solicited by a number of different seat providers, each group totally different. Some have been from Australia, the U.S. We're trying to make sure we select seats that will last a long time and provide a quality viewing angle as well as comfort for our fans. We're working through those particulars and with vendors to select a seat that we can install later next year.
SJEQ: Obviously there's a lot of smaller decisions that go into constructing a stadium – what's one decision you've had to make that you didn't think about going into the process?
DK: There's so many small things that you have to think about every day to keep the project moving forward – where elevators go, how many stops elevators make, what type of door an elevator has – stuff that is so mundane you wouldn't think about making that decision. We had a big discussion about blow driers in restrooms and what type to use. Sometimes you have paper towels, sometimes it's a mix of paper towels and hand driers. Who knew that would become such a big decision? I'm happy to say we got through that and we picked a hand drier that we think will be great. Those are some of the types of decisions we've had to make that you wouldn't otherwise think about and I'm sure there will be many more to come.
SJEQ: Are there any other design considerations your executive staff are working through that you can share?
DK: One of the big things that we just finalized is the concourse design. We've determined the exact mix and locations of male and female restrooms, concessions facilities, operations space, etc. That was a really big step.
SJEQ: Are there any specific features you can share with the public?
DK: One of the unique things is our patio club on either end. Also, fans will be able to see the field from the concourse and I think that's something people will really enjoy.
SJEQ: One of the great aspects of Buck Shaw Stadium is the proximity to the field. Will the new stadium sightlines be just as accommodating?
DK: The sightlines will be great. We have a slightly parabolic bowl with about a 32-degree angle, which is a pretty steep rake. It's similar to Houston – we talked to a lot of folks there about the rake of their seats and what they were trying to accomplish. That's a key part of the stadium's allure and then also being able to see the field from the concourse, the accessibility, the connection to the pitch, you're going to be so close to the action wherever you're at in this stadium.
SJEQ: Why did the club decide to use a horseshoe-shaped design rather than a fully-enclosed version?
DK: One thing I think not all people understand about the stadium is why one side is open. First of all, the original idea was that we could close it in the future and add to the capacity. Right now with the Environmental Impact Report, we were limited to 18,000 seats – we think that's a great number to start with and we'll have a great demand for those seats, but over time we can decide to enclose that last end. Instead of building an oval with 18,000 seats and making it difficult to expand, we wanted to build the horseshoe because it makes more sense. That's one aspect to the decision. The other is that it creates the Epicenter area; that's the area on the open end, connected to the Scoreboard Bar and the field where people can gather before the game – similar to what we do at Buck Shaw, but much larger – where there can be fan zones, BBQ areas, food trucks, activation; we wanted a really fun, festival-like area that can be set up and allow fans a great pre-game experience. I think it's an idea that fans will really appreciate when the stadium opens. It's going to be actually inside the gates, which is something unique. The Epicenter will be part of the experience when fans attend Earthquakes games. In many ways, I think this will become one of our signature items.

NCAB Considers Expanded Intramural/ Extramural Collaborations
Leading National Cancer Institute (NCI) scientists briefed the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) last week on several innovative collaborations involving NCI-funded extramural researchers and NCI's intramural research program. With cancer research moving toward a more transdisciplinary, team approach, the briefing was an update on how NCI is advancing team science and serving as a venue to discuss expansion of collaboration between the intramural and extramural communities.
In particular, noted Dr. J. Carl Barrett, director of the NCI Center for Cancer Research (CCR), NCI leadership is looking to NCAB for guidance on leveraging the unique opportunities offered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical center.
Several of the collaborations between the NCI intramural and extramural community involve consortia, which can provide the large number of patients and investigational uniformity needed to answer some of the most difficult cancer research questions. The Molecular Neuro-Oncology Consortia, jointly led by NCI and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, for example, has launched the Glioma Molecular Diagnostic Initiative (GMDI). GMDI includes a retrospective study of approximately 300 glioma tumor specimens, and a 1,000- to 1,500-patient prospective study involving collaborative groups and select other institutions funded by the NCI Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program.

Annual Budget Proposal Provides Insight into NCI Priorities
It is with great hope for the future that I have submitted to Congress The Nation's Investment in Cancer Research (available at http://plan.cancer.gov), NCI's plan and budget proposal for fiscal year 2006. This proposal reflects efforts to acquire and apply the resources and programs to achieve our challenge goal to the nation - to eliminate suffering and death due to cancer by 2015.
Anchored in seven strategic investment areas, this proposal describes next steps for delivering the promise of improved cancer care and public health for all. These strategic areas are: cancer prevention, early detection, and prediction; overcoming cancer health disparities; the strategic development of cancer interventions; an integrated cancer trials system; advanced technologies; integrative cancer biology; and molecular epidemiology.

Last year, Atlanta's Frozen Pints hit the market with craft beer ice cream. Now, Roswell's Happy Hour Confections is infusing sweet and savory baked goods with craft beer.
During a recent conversation at Five Seasons North in Alpharetta, owner Holly Pezzano sipped a pint of Dark Star stout and explained how she made the move from home baker to entrepreneur.
"Actually, my husband started all this as a kind of challenge," Pezzano said. "He made a chili recipe with beer and was so thrilled with the result he said, 'What else can we try?' So we started marinating and cooking all sorts of things with beer. Then I tried baking with beer."
As Pezzano got more serious, she began dreaming up more recipes and testing them over several months, often taking samples by her favorite beer shop, Ale Yeah! in Roswell, for feedback.
"At one point, she would come up here at least twice a week," said Ale Yeah! owner Eddie Holley. "We said, 'Why don't you just go ahead and turn this into a business?' And that was the genesis. We're sort of joined now."
Pezzano favorite beer styles are dark and barrel-aged ales and she's particularly fond of Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout. But she uses a wide variety of styles in her baking.
"I usually start with the beer itself and try to develop a product around the characteristics and flavors," she said. "There are other bakeries that put beer in cupcakes. What I want to do is offer more variety."
Most popular so far is Salted Triple Porter, a vanilla porter cupcake filled with porter caramel and topped with chocolate porter frosting and sea salt. Also popular: a lemon cupcake made with German wheat beer and a dark chocolate brownie made with smoked porter and topped with chocolate ganache and sea salt.
Pezzano's other offerings include honey walnut pale ale muffins, hard cider glazed doughnut holes, red ale pretzels and English muffins made with English ale. For Valentine's Day, she's making beer truffles with porter and chocolate ganache.
Right now, Happy Hour products can be ordered online at happyhourconfections.com and are available at Ale Yeah! in Decatur and Roswell.
Pezzano said she hopes to expand her business to other retail stores, restaurants and catering companies, as well as work on developing products with local breweries. And Happy Hour will be at several upcoming festivals, including Beer, Bourbon and BBQ on March 2 at Atlantic Station.
"That will give me a good opportunity to be in front of a lot of people and see how they react," Pezzano said. "But it's already gotten a lot bigger a lot faster than I expected."
On Feb. 15, Pezzano will be be joining Holley for a winter beer tasting at Roswell's historic Barrington Hall, where she'll be providing the pairing treats.
"We'll have five different beers and she's going to be using each beer to create a different dessert," Holley said. "It's just another step in the natural evolution of beer. Beer is just so versatile and I think that's what she's discovered."
Winter Beer Tasting at Barrington Hall, 7-9 p.m. Friday [Feb. 15]. $20, includes pint glass and five beer samples with five pairings from Happy Hour Confections. 535 Barrington Drive, Roswell, 770-640-3855, barringtonhall-roswell.com.

PORT ORANGE - Students at Palmer College of Chiropractic's Florida campus will soon be able to take a test required to become a certified chiropractor close to home.
The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners will open a Part IV Practical Examination test site at Palmer College on Nov. 9. The practical examination tests chiropractic students' skills in diagnostic x-ray imaging, chiropractic technique and case management.
The NBCE offers the Part IV Practical Examination twice every year in the months of May and November.
Dr. Paul Townsend, NBCE's Director of Practical Testing Research and Development, described practical examination as "kind of like a driver's test for chiropractors" because the training portrays real clinical cases.
He said there were two major factors that played into opening the test site in Port Orange: minimizing the time and expense required for students to travel to different test sites, and the rapid growth of Palmer College's chiropractic program.
Florida chiropractic students, including those attending Palmer College, had to travel far out of town to complete the required practical examination in the past.
"Currently the Port Orange students would have to travel to Atlanta to do the test," Dr. Townsend said. "We (NBCE administrators) decided it was time to open a testing center."
The growth of Palmer College in recent years was also a factor in the testing site's location in Port Orange. Since its Florida campus on City Center Parkway opened in 2002, the college added two new buildings - a second classroom building and a student center - to accommodate the needs of the expanded student population. The campus has an enrollment of 741 students from nearly 40 states, according to Palmer College's website.
"We strategically place our testing centers where the most students could benefit from it," Dr. Townsend said, adding the new testing site would also be utilized by students from the National University of Health Sciences' chiropractic program in St. Petersburg.
A news release from NBCE states Port Orange's practical examination testing center can support 150 students at a time, and 70 employees will be at the test site.
Dr. Townsend identified Dr. Davis Kinney as the chief examiner of the test site. Dr. Kinney, who currently has a practice in Albany, Ga., will oversee the clinical aspects of the examination and ensure the exam is conducted in a clinically accurate manner.
"This is a unique professional examination that places candidates in a live 'hands on' testing environment where they are interacting with 'standardized patients' who undergo significant training in order to give appropriate responses to the candidates questions and exam procedures," Dr. Kinney said in an e-mail statement.
As chief examiner, Dr. Kinney will also train and supervise the 20 examiners on staff. He said the examiners would come from as far as New York and New Mexico to help conduct the exam.
He said he's looking forward to the new test site opening in Port Orange.
"We are excited to bring the Part IV NBCE exam to Palmer Florida," Dr. Kinney said. "The growth and success of the Palmer campus in Port Orange has merited the decision ... to place an exam site there."

The songs of angry men will fill Logan's Ellen Eccles Theatre this summer. The blockbuster musical "Les Misérables," a perennial favorite of Utah audiences, is the centerpiece of the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre season. The company will present four productions in repertory, beginning this week and running through Aug. 9.
'Les Misérables' » Patrick Miller, who has sung leading operatic and musical-theater roles with several companies in the United States and Europe, stars as Jean Valjean. The cast also includes Daniel Cilli as Inspector Javert, Vanessa Ballam as Fantine, Tyler Olshansky as Éponine, Patrick Massey as Marius, Stefan Espinosa and Vanessa Schukis as the Thénardiers and Leah Edwards as Cosette. Valerie Rachelle is stage director; Karen Keltner, a UFOMT mainstay since 1997. will conduct.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"We vow to lift you from 'misérables' to 'nobilité' with our production," founding general director Michael Ballam said on the company's website. "You may have seen wonderful productions of 'Les Misérables' already, but I promise you will never have heard it like this!"
"Les Miz" opens its 14-performance Logan run on Saturday, July 12.
'The Student Prince' » Ballam credits the film version of this Sigmund Romberg musical, starring Mario Lanza, for igniting his love of musical theater when he saw it in the Ellen Eccles Theatre with his grandmother at age 5. He's bringing it back to the Ellen Eccles with Andrew Bidlack in the title role.
The cast also includes Richard Zuch as Dr. Engel, Emma-Grace Dunbar as Kathie, Kevin Nakatani as Lutz, Vanessa Ballam as Princess Margaret, Justin John Moniz as Detlef and Patrick Massey as Von Asterberg. Barbara Day Turner, who has appeared on every UFOMT season since 2002, will conduct; Jack Shouse, a regular since 1999, is stage director.
UFOMT will present five performances of "The Student Prince," beginning Friday, July 11.
'Vanessa' » The Samuel Barber opera is another sentimental favorite for Ballam — he sang the role of Anatol early in his operatic career and named his eldest daughter after the title character.
Beverly O'Regan Thiele will portray Vanessa in the Logan production, with Andrew Bidlack as Anatol, Amanda Tarver as the Baroness, Richard Zuch as the Doctor and Kevin Nakatani as the major-domo Nicholas. Turner conducts, with stage direction by Daniel Helfgot.
The opera's four-performance run begins Wednesday, July 9.
'Oklahoma!' » This landmark of American musical theater will receive eight performances on the Ellen Eccles stage, starting Thursday, July 10.
Leah Edwards and Wes Mason portray the central couple, Laurey and Curly, with Kevin Nakatani as Jud Fry, Caitlin Beitel as Ado Annie, Vanessa Schukis as Aunt Eller and Bray Wilkins as Will Parker. Keltner conducts, and Maggie L. Harrer directs.
Tickets for the four mainstage productions start at $13, with subscriptions starting at $42 (for opening week).
In addition, Ballam has loaded the schedule with literary seminars, lectures, backstage tours, breakfasts with the artists, free recitals, an opera competition, an American Festival Chorus concert of Beethoven favorites, and more. Visit www.utahfestival.org or call 435-750-0300 for details.
Deer Valley Music Festival
Utah Symphony | Utah Opera returns to its summer home July 4 and 5 with performances featuring the Texas Tenors and country star Kenny Rogers. The next two installments of the festival will pay tribute to film composer John Williams (on Friday, July 11) and rock icons U2 (Saturday, July 12).
Music of John Williams » Jeff Tyzik will lead the orchestra in selections from "Superman," "Jaws," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T.," "Harry Potter," "Star Wars" and other films.
Music of U2 » Conductor Brent Havens and vocalist Brody Dolyniuk will join the orchestra in "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "I Will Follow," "One," "Vertigo" and other hits.
Both concerts start at 7:30 p.m. in the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater at Deer Valley Resort. Tickets start at $32 ($15 for youth); visit www.deervalleymusicfestival.org for details.

from Heidi Bears Designs
I would love to buy one already done as I just do not have a lot of skill...I thing the colors, and the look is so pretty.
I've payed for the pattern but cant download it
I Love this pony!!! I wish I could find it for fabric instead of crocheting, Haven't crocheted in many years
Hi, I just love your patterns. I have already made happypotomus, I am nearing completion of Fatty Lumpkin and am having trouble with Fatty's legs as they keep splaying apart. Do you have any suggestions thanks
Thanks Nell :)Make sure that the "joint' area between the body and the legs are very firmly stuffed to about one to two inches above and below the "joint" so to speak...this will help to firm up the legs. Let me know if you have any difficulty :) xxx
hi Love this pattern and enjoying playing with the colours. 2 questions.: you have included a pattern for an octagon but it isn't included in the list of motifs and I can not see it on Fatty Lumpkin. I live in England and our crochet terms are slightly different from the USA Their double is our treble. Am I right in assuming that you are using USA terms?Thank you and keep on hooking.
Hi Jill :)Thank you for your lovely comment! The octagon motif is used in the rocker extra PDF that is unfortunately not available on the Craftsy site as I can only upload one pdf per pattern. The reason i included the instructions in the main pattern is that all of the motifs charts and instructions are all together then which makes things a bit more ordered. In terms of the crochet terms, you are absolutely right. :) Hope you have a lovely day, xxx Heidi
I purchased a couple of your patterns and look forward to making them. I have a couple others I would like to get as well but wonder, is there any way at all to get the pattern with just a cover picture of the item and not all the picture tutorial? I am able to follow the directions with out all the blow by blow pictures that a beginner might need. They are nice to see but when printing them, to be honest it is just way to expensive. I printed the 2 patterns I purchased and it took a whole new cartridge of color ink. that makes each pattern nearly $20 apiece after buying the instructions and the ink. Can you do a pattern that is just the pattern and cover picture of the item? I would love to get the patterns I have in my save box but really really hesitate to buy them. I did not realize when I purchased some patterns that they were with all the pictures. so since I purchased them I had to print them. maybe this doesnt create an issue with others but as lovely as the patterns are and I would love to make them ......
Hi :)Thank you so much for your kind comments! I have had this question asked by others but as I said to them, I wish I knew of a way to explain the exact joining process without using photos, but because the animals are made seamlessly, the exact order of joining is important and can't be explained by words alone ...I am open to any suggestions that will work...two minds are better than one :)I know that not everyone owns a tablet, but if you do, you can easily load the patterns and bypass the need for printing...X
I just print the pages I need to print by using the page numbers in the print settings box that pops up if you press print.
it would be very helpful if you could indicate what colors you used for each of the motifs. I realize that one would havre topurchase quite a bit, but for those of us who are not so gifted in recognizing what blends well with what, it would help a lot. I purchased this pattern but after I downloaded it, I discovered it did not porvide any guidance on color. Also, how do I get the update that was referred to on the ravelyry site to turn this into a rocking horse? it said July 25th 2013 availability..I purchased this today but it wasn't part of the pattern. Thank you.
Hi :)The update is available only on Ravelry, where I am able to upload more than one file for the pattern, which I can't do on Craftsy...the pattern price on Craftsy is less than the cost on Ravelry as I didn't think it would be fair to charge the same as Craftsy purchasers don't have the extra PDF. The extra PDF just shows how to crochet a rocker, a wing and a horn... In terms of color guidance...the pattern is a long one and since I am no expert on color combinations, I didn't include any specific discussions on color combinations. I would suggest using Pinterest or other websites that deal with color inspiration boards :)
Hi :)Yes you need to use a heavier weight yarn and a larger hook, BUT, please please make sure that you use the smallest possible hook that you can for the weight of yarn you have chosen...the stitches MUST be as dense as you can work them while still being able to crochet . This prevents the stuffing from popping out :)
This is adorable
He is quite the item. I will have to add him to my massive crochet collection that I have acquired over the last 50 years.
loving this x
what a cutie!
The flowers' stitching looks open, is the animal made from a fleece or flannel and then covered with the crocheted pieces? I wanted to make them for a child, but it looks too easy for the stuffing to get pulled out. Or are they just for display?
Hi :)No, the hook you use for the weight of yarn is smaller than that recommended usually. This means that the stitch density of the flower is much tighter, making it extremely difficult for the stuffing to pop out. I have had countless people make my animals and never had a person say that the stuffing has come out. However, you should make sure that your crocheting is dense enough to allow for this. It will not work if your stitches are too far apart... hope this helps :)
What kind of yarn is required for this? I doesn't say in the listing. Thanks!.
Once you download the pattern, there are instructions included that make reference to an alternate way of doing the patterns for the purpose you indicated, DKoslowsky , that is, to make the stitches tighterMarilyn, it takes sock yarn weight
Marilyn, here is what it says about yarn:Sock weight / Fingering weight yarn/ #1 in colors of your choice... this little pony is a great stash busting project as you can use small amounts of sock yarn for eachmotif, and the more colourful the prettier I used random colors, keeping only to the cream colored yarn for Round 5 of each motif. Although I cant tell you how much yardage of each color I used, I can tell you that the total weight of yarn for the pony was around 160g (unstuffed). Youll need to make sure you have enough extra yarn for the tail and mane, depending on how full you want these to be...The yardage for the sock yarn I used is around 320m/100g (350yds/100g). It is a superwash merino yarn, but you can use any alternative fingering weight yarn you like...I suggest that animal fibre yarns would be preferable, as they have more stretch, making the stuffing and shaping of the pony easier.
Thank you - your pattern was so detailed and so well written, i never thought i could make it , but your explanation made it so easy - a lot of thanks

Arc Rise Fantasia Review
With every passing year it becomes harder to be original, to innovate and create the 'next big thing.' Arc Rise Fantasia wears its inspirations so wholeheartedly on its sleeve that it almost drowns. It has the spikey-haired hero with a gigantic sword and a familiar medieval-fantasy setting. It uses the optional dialogues from the Tales series, team-up attacks similar to the Persona series, and... Read More


text: With the Denver Nuggets already out of the playoffs and the NBA Draft a little over a month away, speculation on how the Nuggets will approach the draft and who it will take with the 22nd pick is firmly underway. Equipped with an enticing asset in Raymond Felton as well as the less attractive Al Harrington — both of whom are overshadowed at their respective positions by other teammates, thus making them somewhat trade-able — the Nuggets have the option to make a variety of moves if prompted.

Octreotide is used to treat acromegaly. Octreotide is also used to reduce flushing episodes and watery diarrhea caused by cancerous tumors (carcinoid syndrome) or tumors called vasoactive intestinal peptide tumors (VIP adenomas).
Octreotide may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of octreotide (Sandostatin)?
Stop using octreotide and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- slow or irregular heartbeats;
- gallbladder problems (stomach pain);
- pancreatitis (pain in the upper stomach or back, nausea, vomiting, fever, bloating, yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- thyroid problems (may be detected by blood tests);
- low blood sugar (headache, confusion, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, sweating, tremor, nausea); or
- high blood sugar (increased thirst and urination; flushed or dry skin; drowsiness).
Less serious side effects may include:
- nausea or vomiting;
- diarrhea;
- mild stomach pain or gas;
- constipation; or
- pain or irritation where you injected the medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Sandostatin (octreotide acetate) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about octreotide (Sandostatin)?
Before using octreotide, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, gallbladder disease, heart disease, thyroid problems, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or liver disease.
Octreotide is given as an injection under the skin or into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be shown how to use your medicine at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used in giving the medicine. Be sure to follow the instructions for the exact type of octreotide your doctor has prescribed for you.
While using octreotide, call your doctor if you have severe stomach pain, fever, bloating, nausea and vomiting, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). These may be signs of serious side effects

Epic 2.0 Series Rechargeable Battery Heated Gloves
Warm enough. Easy to use. Gauntlet could be wider to fit over sleeves easier.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)
Excellent, well constricted gloves. Not bulky providing good tactile feel. Love it!1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)
I purchased these gloves for cold-weather commuting on my motorcycle. The grippy palms are fantastic for this! I travel one hour each way to and from work each day, and some drawbacks I have seen are due to the fact that I am really testing them with this kind of use. (For example, 70mph wind-chill!) I have found that they will keep me very toasty indeed if the ambient temperature is around 40F and I am only moving at about 50mph. They have kept my hands in the safe zone, even during brief periods at higher speeds, with ambient temps down into the lower 30's F. At that air temperature we're not talking toasty anymore. My hands get uncomfortable, but, not frozen stiff like the first time I used my insulated leather riding gloves in really low temperatures.1/9/2013 7:28 AM
ActiveForever's price was the absolute best that I found anywhere. As I checked product reviews on the 'net, it became pretty obvious that these gloves were likely to be the best battery-powered ones availabe.
I do have one caveat about their overall capabilities; I think that Epic is taking the currently available battery/heating element technology to it's limit. The claimed battery life is optomistic, especially on high power, but with rechargeable batteries I expected this to be the case and I have been able to deal with it by charging them at work. Anyone wanting to use them for much more than an hour on the "high" setting, would be advised to go ahead and buy extra batteries when you first purchase the gloves.
I don't want to sound overly critical; I would highly recommend these to other people looking for battery-powered gloves. As with anything that is at the edge of current technology, there are performance limitations that should be pointed out.
Irrespective of any performance issues, though, I agree 100% with the previous poster on the size of the guantlet. I can not get the cuffs to go over heavy clothing because they just aren't big enough. I have to put them on and then put my coat or coveralls on over them. This can be a real P in the A if I need to take a glove off for some reason and then put it back on. If ActiveForever can give feedback to Epic, this is the one thing that you should tell them they *really* need to change in their design ASAP.
Another item that needs improvement by Epic is the amount of heat provided to the fingertips. It's really just not enough compared to what the rest of the glove is capable of. Fingertips are the most important and most difficult thing for any type of glove to keep warm.
I have been a little surprised and disappointed in the insulating ability of the gloves without the batteries. When they run out of juice, my hands get COLD very quickly. Extra Thinsulate would be highly desirable.
The only other thing I would like to have the gloves do better is to resist the effects of heat loss from wind-chill. Obviously, this is a big deal to me because I use them on a motorcycle.
Overall, they are a great product and I would buy another pair for my spouse in a minute if we were sharing a touring motorcycle.
Thank you very much for providing such a good set of gloves at such a great price!Was this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

Oct 22 blog: Shareholder Question: GSA Contract Amount
Quote: QUESTION (Extract) …does this 125k value represent the maximum value of the schedule contract, the maximum size of solicitation we can bid on, or the minimum we must sell in order to keep the contract intact, or something completely different. ANSWER $125,000 represents the minimum sales that the GSA would consider acceptable over a 5 year base period. The GSA would hope for, and expect, more. Products are evaluated as to their likelihood of attaining or surpassing minimums as a feature of their approval. The reason for a minimum expectation is that a high sales volume indicates that the GSA has selected relevant products for their client agencies (i.e. products of demonstrated appeal/usefulness). There is no maximum amount of sales volume, i.e. no limit.

Winning Brands Corporation is an environmental company. Our mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives, with an initial emphasis on cleaning solutions. We manufacture eco-friendly cleaning products that give consumers positive choices without sacrificing performance. The company became a publicly traded entity in April 2006 through a reverse merger of Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd (aka The Soap Factory) and Global E Tutor (renamed Winning Brands Corporation. The company is now up and running, and has sales and exports. The 10 year business plan targets sales growth from less than $1 Million annually to $100 Million. WBC has designed its business plan to pass through 6 Phases; Initial Operations Phase (Annual Sales less than $1 Million), Implementation Phase (Annual Sales of $1 Million to $3 Million), Growth Phase (Annual Sales of $3 Million to $5 Million), Self-Sustaining Phase (Sales between $5-50 Million), Established Phase (Sales between $50 Million and $100 Million), World Phase (Sales over $100 Million).
Eric Lehner (CEO)
Collection of old memos (thru March 2010) are at this link
Active blog found at this link
Eric Lehner, CEO
The plan of the CEO of Winning Brands Corporation, Eric Lehner, is to remain focused on making progress toward long term fundamentals. Mr. Lehner has remarked publicly on many occasions that the tendency of North American companies to plan for short term gains over long term achievement is overdue for a change. The emerging global economy mixes practices of successful companies and societies with longer term horizons. There is in his view an increasing sophistication in the standard which is applied to the term "success". Socially responsible work environments, meaningful interaction with customers, continuous quality improvement are only some of the "new" basics according to Mr. Lehner. He feels that the days of chasing immediate bumps in earnings, unnatural price-per-share movements or any other measurement of the company's progress are discredited by the emergence of massive long term thinking organizations whose businesses span generations and continents. Any prospective investor should know that Winning Brands Corporation's mission of replacing hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives is designed to last a lifetime; "work worthy of a generation". The company's progress in being part of the solution for a world whose ecosystems are under stress, rather than being part of the problem requires an evolution in the public's behavior as well. Such changes amongst the public do not come easily or quickly, as habits are difficult to change. On a strictly business level however Winning Brands Corporation is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from the increasing urgency in these matters. Governments are beginning to impose regulations which are ahead of the public's level of awareness. All WBC products are designed with this in mind. It is the official planning precept of Winning Brands Corporation that Climate Change (often described as Global Warming) is a real phenomenon and worsening. WBC is acting now to position itself to be relevant with cleaning solutions (and perhaps other chemicals) which are oriented toward improving the status quo of water quality internationally. Water quality is not directly related to CO2 emissions and carbon load as a causative element, but plays a part in preserving the eco-integrity of all natural bodies of water whose eco-systems will be under new stresses. Changing characteristics of ocean currents, precipitation, evaporation, non-native species of plant life, insects and other biological content in lakes, rivers and the seas all tax the ecosystems to work hard in coping with change. In other words, these factors are all interconnected. Winning Brands Corporation designs cleaning solutions that are as beneficial as possible, thus will experience increasing demand. Eric has made the following statement:
"I honestly believe that the best contribution that I can make to our investors is to be reliable about the following things: (a) Tell the shareholders the truth (b) Work hard to build the company in real terms, not as a market play (c) Let the market know through authentic News Releases when we have had progress or setbacks so that the market can decide upon its own valuation (d) Take a long term view so that deep, important principles determine our future, not short term daily trading psychology"

5/19/10 - Mr Lehner confirmed: that the commercials are intended to run on the following U.S. cable networks, subject only to the final confirmation by these networks of the availability of the requested times. For this reason, we will not know until after broadcast dates and our review of broadcast records whether the air times were filled as booked. Available air-time inventory changes daily. With that proviso - our target broadcast mix for the first two weeks includes: · Biography Channel · CMT Pure Country · Discovery Health · Discovery Kids · Family Net · Fine Living · FIT TV · Hallmark Movie Channel · Lifetime Real Women · Planet Green · Soap Net · TV Land · Universal HD The broadcasts are national, not local. These commercials can be viewed across America and will rotate during a wide range of times during the 24 hr cycle. We will of course be evaluating the initial results after 2 weeks in order to assess which aspects of the product presentation can be adjusted to optimize results.
The March 2012 Convenience U Carwacs Tradeshow http://toronto.convenienceu.ca/ will be our first chance to announce to all attending convenience stores that they can now be serviced by Karrys. 2012 will see this partnership gain momentum as we cooperate for max impact at the show.

On the way to the office today, I stopped at a construction site by the lake, which was equipped with the usual mobile site office. These are in use around the world. I used Winning Colours Stain Remover, a scouring sponge, water and "00" steel wool on the unit. The job did not required special skills - therefore it can be performed by entry level manual labour. No gloves were required. Despite the fact that this graffiti had been set by the sun for more than a year, it yielded to Winning Colours and a bit of persistence. It would have been even easier if the occupants of this site office knew about Winning Colours Stain Remover when the incident first happened. Notice that the site office original factory paint job is still intact
On the way into the office today, I noticed an ice dispensing machine outside a convenience store that showed typical signs of urban life - graffiti and grime. I entered the store to point out that the solution on their own store shelf, Winning Colours Stain Remover, could make a positive difference. Graffiti and neglect creates an unsafe feeling for shoppers and is a turn-off for everyone.
