The BCPT, part of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), began in April 1992 to determine whether the nonsteroidal, anti-estrogen drug tamoxifen could reduce the incidence of breast cancer in women who were at high risk for development of the disease. Only women who were at increased risk for developing breast cancer participated in the study. They were chosen based on their breast cancer risk as determined by a computer calculation that included specific factors.
By September 1997, more than 13,000 women had participated in the study. Data showed the results of tamoxifen treatment to be highly significant with a 49% reduction in the number of invasive breast cancers seen across all age groups. These results were confirmed in the final report issued in 2005.
The data were then turned over to the Endpoint Review, Safety Monitoring, and Advisory Committee for review of the toxicity, adverse side effects, and effectiveness of tamoxifen. This independent committee (whose members are not affiliated with either the NSABP or BCPT) concluded that the overall benefits of treatment with tamoxifen outweighed the overall risks.
Tamoxifen is one of the most widely prescribed cancer drugs in the world, and has been the focus of research on its actions, benefits, and risks for more than 30 years. Still, tamoxifen therapy may not be appropriate for all women who are at increased risk for breast cancer.
Before tamoxifen is prescribed, a woman and her doctor should take into consideration her age, personal history, and family history. She and her doctor should also weigh the benefits and risks of tamoxifen.
The use of tamoxifen is reportedly associated with some infrequent, but potentially life-threatening side effects. Endometrial cancer, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis are conditions that may be caused or adversely affected by tamoxifen. Other common side effects include fatigue, which may go away after taking the drug for a few weeks, and hot flashes.

Brent Bozell, founder and president of the conservative Media Research Center, appeared on MSNBC's Scarborough Country last night to discuss "The Path to 9/11." Although Bozell has praised the miniseries as a "forceful, compelling docudrama," he said ABC should "correct" the scenes "that do not have any bearing on reality." Watch it:
BOZELL: Let me say this, I think that if you have a scene, or two scenes, or three scenes, important scenes, that do not have any bearing on reality and you can edit them, I think they should edit them.
SCARBOROUGH: And Brent, that seems very fair, right, if they are factually inaccurate here, you'd be calling for them to take it off the air too, right?
BOZELL: Yeah, yeah. I think where, if they are factually inaccurate and they can correct it, they ought to.

At some point in your adult life, you've probably walked into a party and felt a frisson of relief upon discovering at least one woman there who was fatter, uglier, and/or dressed more inappropriately than you. We sure have. But if you want to have any hope of making peace with your own body, you need to knock that shit off.
We're not even telling you to stop just because it's nasty, petty, and beneath you to judge other women so harshly; it is, but because you're not a saint, and neither are we. We're telling you to stop because it's actually in your own self-interest to stop being such a bitch. 'Cause you know what happens when you quit saying that crap about other women? You magically stop saying it about yourself so much, too.
Judging other women negatively creates a constant stream of nasty thoughts in your head. It is inevitable that you will end up applying those same standards to yourself. We think we're building ourselves up when we do this but, really, we're just tearing other people down to our level. And we hate to go all Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on you, but tearing other people down isn't really productive. It leaves you in the same place you started, which is full of loathing for your own body.
—Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby

Everyday wear.
Great minimalist shoe! I love using them for all things fitness...It was my first minimalist shoe that I tried a year ago now I can't imagine running in anything else. Definitely recommended!
Sized as Expected
Running (trail and street), walking, lifting
This shoe was recommended by my massage therapist and this is my second pair. I am able to wear these shoes 12 hours a day without the pain and swollen feet from other shoes. Having worn combat boots, steel toe boots and uniform shoes for 20 years ~ I am grateful to find a pair of shoes that can allow me to function without alot of pain and bend with my feet when I walk.
We are thrilled to hear our Merrell style helps you get through the day pain free! Thanks for your review.
Sized as Expected
Walking while doing daily chores :-)
the only sneaker I can wear the doesn't hurt my heal.
Sized as Expected
I purchased the first Barefoot Run Bare at REI in Stockton, CA. The shoes never left my feet after purchase. I have difficulty finding shoes that are comfortable due to arthritis and these were amazing. As REI only carried one color, I sought other colors here. I wear black pants most frequently and the black shoes were perfect. Size is perfect to my foot, 7.5, comfort level is a 10 out of 10. I like the feel of barefoot rather than the thick or heavy padding in the shoe base. Perhaps that is a carry over from my childhood going barefoot in Hawaii. Needless to say, for me, these shoes are the best.
Sized as Expected
I wear it with my black pants every where I go. These are the most comfortable shoes to walk in.

Andrew O'Halloran, a chief of field services for the Fire Department, made $280,120. Boston police Lieutenant Luis A. Cruz was the highest paid officer, at $266,971. Police officers, who occupied six of the 10 top slots, can greatly supplement their base pay with overtime, details and Quinn bill money, which comes from a 1970s law that provides incentive pay for earning college degrees.

The coolest place on the internet, according to this tagline.Ask • Archive • FAQ
Back in January, Republican Sen. Scott Brown and his Senate opponent, Elizabeth Warren, signed a pledge to effectively ban or neutralize outside money — saying that they would donate to charity if a group advertised for them or against their opponent. Brown, who faced a tough 2010 special election for this reason, fought for the deal — which was initially seen as a coup for him because of his war chest. But since then, Warren has had one very prime weak spot — her ancestry controversy — that outside groups weren't able to exploit because of the document above. Plus, she's become a huge fundraiser in her own right. So Brown is suddenly having regrets. But is this an example that other campaigns can follow?

RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) -- First lady Michelle Obama is visiting Kentucky to give a commencement speech at Eastern Kentucky University.
The first lady's speech is scheduled for Saturday night at the Richmond campus. She will speak to education and business graduates in the last of three campus ceremonies.
The White House says the first lady is speaking at EKU as part of her initiative to support veterans and military families.
EKU has gained national recognition for its efforts to help veterans advance their education.
The university offers a Veterans Success Center that provides advising and job placement services for veterans.
More than 1,275 veterans and their dependents are enrolled at Eastern Kentucky
Mrs. Obama is coming to a state that voted overwhelmingly against her husband in his two successful runs for the White House.

Contradict-a-palooza: 'Not My Boss's Business' goal to make it every boss's business
**Written by Doug Powers
The Supreme Court is hearing the Hobby Lobby case today:
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in two related cases challenging the Department of Health and Human Services' directive ordering employers to offer health insurance policies that include certain contraceptives.
The case is unlikely to take a wrecking ball to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, whose individual health insurance mandate was upheld as constitutional by the court in June 2012. But it may have broad non-health ramifications.
At hand are the constitutional rights of corporations and the right of religious businessowners to exempt their companies from federal regulations.
In Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. – the better-known case – the Southern Baptist owners of a 602-store arts and crafts chain say certain emergency contraceptives and intrauterine devices run afoul of their religious beliefs because they may result in the destruction of human embryos.
Those protesting Hobby Lobby are using the most contradictory slogan possible: "Not My Boss's Business," all while demanding that paying for birth control (abortifacient drugs to be more specific) be nothing short of the boss's business. Sandra Fluke agrees.
A more accurate slogan would be "Just shut up and pay for it."

Try demanding that any of the above people pay for something you want and see if they'd agree it was none of their business. Only in the abstract realm of liberal logic is something none of the concern of the people being forced to pay for it.
Does Obamacare require your boss to supply Dramamine? Because the contradiction is dizzying.
In closing, no more calls please, because we have our "entrepreneurship advice of the year" winner:
Don't want to pay for birth control? Don't start a business. #NotMyBossBusiness

Having high expectations can bring with it a lot of stress. For the Morningside College football team high expectations are the norm and are much better than the alternative -- not being good.
Morningside is number-one in the NAIA preseason poll, after losing the national championship game in overtime, to finish 13-1. The Mustangs have nine starters back on offense, after setting school records for passing, rushing and scoring.
Former Heelan and Hawkeye running back Brandon Wegher is also in the backfield.
Morningside has to find a replacement for quarterback Joel Nixon, who threw 49 touchdown passes. Crofton's Christian Nohr and ju-co transfer Ryan Kasdorf are battling for the job.
"As a receiver, for me, it's really enjoyable playing in this offense," said senior Joel McCabe. "I get to catch the ball and I also get to move down and get nitty-gritty with the o-lineman so that's always a positive."
"We know each week we're going to get everyone's best. They're out to beat number one," said senior Kyle Schuck. "It kind of gives us more motivation to go out there and do what we need to do and finish business from last year."
Morningside has just five starters back from a defense that led the nation in scoring defense, giving up just 13 points per game with three shutouts.
Leading tackler Aaron Roberg returns after 121 stops.
With so many lopsided wins in 2012, everyone got to play, so there is a lot of experience coming back.
"We've got guys with experience," said head coach Steve Ryan. "To actually be counted on in critical moments and critical times, that's to be figured out and that's to be learned. That's a fun part of coaching and watching young men play."
"There's a handful of guys that have actually started here and there," said linebacker Aaron Roberg. "They played a lot in different packages as well. We've got a couple of big time transfers coming in too that are going to help us out immediately."
Morningside opens the season at home against Valley City State of North Dakota on Saturday, September 7th. The Mustangs have a 17-game winning streak in the regular season.

Immigrants rights groups gathered at last night's Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Phoenix to protest Senate Bill 1070, Arizona's radical anti-immigrant law. Protesters marched to Chase Field carrying signs calling for boycotts of MLB and the host Arizona Diamondbacks. Proponents of the law, meanwhile, carried signs featuring the xenophobic description of immigrant children as "anchor babies." Here are pictures from the protests, courtesy of Border Angels:

Unexpected Side EffectsUnexpected Side EffectsDoktor Frogg struggled with the screwdriver as he tried to tighten a tiny screw into the casing of the remote control. Small instruments were more difficult to manage with the metal claws he used instead of fingers. As long as he worked slowly and cautiously he wouldn't have too much trouble. "Almost there..." he muttered to himself as the screw's head lowered flush with the plastic surface."Aren't you done yet?" a shrill voice pierced Frogg's concentration, startling him so that he fumbled, losing grip first of the screwdriver, then the remote, then both items tumbled from his artificial "hands" and landed on the floor, the remote control in several pieces."Well I would be if you'd stop pressuring me." he sighed as he stooped to gather up the scattered electronics.A tiny figure dressed entirely in red stepped into Frogg's way, his petite foot nearly missed crushing one of the fragile components, "It's almost eight o'clock. Red and I want to watch 'The Parano
Unexpected Side Effects pt 3 It's easier to be original and foolish than original and wise. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Frogg tinkered with the prototype psionic enhancer (and brainwasher) in the lair living-room. His room got too cluttered with all the other inventions and stuff he all ready had in there. It was still too stuffy for him, was an unusually warm day and he was working up a sweat. He was hesitant to use the freeze-ray. It was a powerful machine but tricky. The League used it as an air-conditioner by freezing one room of the house and using fans to circulate the cool air through the rest of the lair. Worked pretty good except that the room chosen to be frozen would be arctic cold. The last time they used it they tried freezing the bathroom. Seemed like a bright idea until you have to answer the call of nature. Try using the toilet i
Unexpected Side Effects pt 4 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. The Great and Powerful Oz The Red Menace glanced at his watch for the third time in the last five minutes. He then nervously drummed his fingers on the arm of the sofa, "I don't know about this Voltar. We may be making a big mistake." "Oh don't be such a worry wart, Red." Voltar retorted. "It's just that it's been a really long time since Frogg has flown solo. What if he gets into trouble and we're not there to bail him out?" "You're underestimating him. He'll be fine." Voltar assured his minion. "He is taking his sweet time about it though," he walked over to the hallway that lead from the Lair living room and called towards Doktor Frogg's laboratory. "Come on Frogg, you're going to be late." "I think I should stay close," R
Unexpected Side Effects pt 5 It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive. C. W. Leadbeater Doktor Frogg was pleased with how smoothly the project was proceeding. Every session showed that Alison was making progress in her abilities as a psychic. He was also being very careful about keeping the secondary function of the unit, brainwashing, hidden from his assistants and anyone else at the University that showed interest in his experiment. After Alison finally got over the initial shock at scoring high with the Zener Card test she became more efficient at matching cards. Frogg was being very careful not to try to push the issue and cause outstanding improvement in her abilities too quickly. He had two reasons for that. Reason number one was that he didn't wish to alarm his subject with ra
Unexpected Side Effects pt 7 Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans. John Lennon Doktor Frogg stood before the painting, his eyes wide, his mouth hanging open. Except for the slight shaking of his extended finger pointed at the artwork, he was still as a statue. "Don't look at it," said Alison. There was no response. She put her arm around his shoulder and could feel that he was trembling all over. "Frank, get away from there." She realized that he wasn't hearing her. She stepped between the scientist and the painting and placed her hands on each side of his head. Turning his face away from the canvas and toward her she said, "Look at me," He finally unlocked his fixated gaze and made eye contact with her. "Let's get out of here." As Alison led Frogg out of the cramped corner and through the gallery, Veronica approached them. "Is everythin
Unexpected Side Effects pt 9 Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence. Joseph Wood Krutch Frogg inspected Lizowski and Garcia's prototype for an invention they'd been working on themselves. It was a re-designed athletic shoe, or boot base that increased balance and stability while decreasing risk of injury to the foot, ankle, and even the knees. His assistants had been using it for snow-boarding and hockey, but the benefits could apply to other athletic activities as well. Frogg had tried them on, and walked about in them, but declined to try the new footwear on Lizowski's skateboard. "I'll pass," he told them. "I've never really been very good at sports. I can tell that this is a good design though. It feels comfortable too." "The inspiration for it came a couple of years ago," Lizowski informed Frogg. "My bro here got a really bad sprain during a hockey game
Unexpected Side Effects pt 6 Platonic friendship: the interval between the introduction and the first kiss. Sophie Irene Loeb Doktor Frogg and Alison gazed up at the marquee. The movie they had wanted to see was sold out for the next two showings. Since they were already at the theater, they agreed that they might as well see something. "Not the love story, not the love story," Frogg thought over and over like a mantra. He really couldn't stomach those things. "Well, anything but the romance film as far as I'm concerned," Alison said. "Really?" Frogg wondered if she had picked up on his thoughts telepathically. "I've never really liked them much," Alison confessed. "If it's and action movie that has a love interest, or a comedy with a little romance thrown in, that's fine. Wall to wall, nothing but romance just bores me to tears."
Unexpected Side Effects pt 8 No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves. Ed Howe Doktor Frogg never really considered himself a morning-person, but he usually would come wide awake and alert from slumber. This morning he woke slowly; turning, dozing, shifting his weight and dozing off again. He heard a bumping sound coming from another room and opened his eyes. Even though he was severely nearsighted he could tell that he wasn't on the roll-out bed in his lab, or on the sofa in the Lair's living room either. He felt startled for a split second from waking in an unfamiliar place, then the memories of the night before returned to him. He sat up on the sofa and groped around the coffee table until his fingers found his glasses. He put them on and ran his hand over his head. Some of his hair had worked it's way out of the band he had it pulle
Unexpected Side Effects pt 10 Mistakes are the inevitable lot of mankind. Sir George Jessel It felt kind of strange for Frogg to be working alone in the university lab. He was so used to Garcia and Lizowski's company that the room seemed too empty, lonely even. It couldn't be helped though. The work he was busy with had to be done in secret. He was programming the psionic enhancer to test its mind controlling capabilities. The last adjustment he'd made to the unit was to install tiny headphones into it. He accomplished that task while Garcia and Lizowski were chatting up Alison the last time they worked with him. They were so busy in their conversation that they payed no attention to what he was actually doing. The question was, what should the hypnotic suggestions be? Nothing too drastic, baby steps were best. If the suggestions were too out of Alison's normal behavior, they could draw unw

Dan VS LOSEDan VS League of Super EvilIn a normal afternoon in a motel, Casa Paradiso, Dan was out of his apartment in usual grumpy mood. He was ready to leave to do his daily errands. As he was heading for his car, something stunned him for what horror has been done on it. He was shocked for this and wondered who did it. Dan searched for clues and noticed a few things."What's this?" said Dan, "A shark like bite mark?! Metal claw scratches?! A big, painted skull symbol?!"As he found the clues to his car damages, Dan noticed a piece of paper on his wind shield and it said:Dear driver,I, the Great Voltar, have damage your car in order to spread fear upon you and the rest of these puny humans. For I will conquer of all who will accept me as their leader and my team, League of Super Evil as fearful villains of the world!Sincerely, Voltar from League of Super EvilAfter reading the note that Dan received, he felt fury and yells in the sky, "LEAGUE OF SUPER EVIL!!!!!

There was suspense, drama, trauma, and (Spoiler) it DID have the real Will Shane in it. I TOLD you I found him and I was right. For those who don't want spoilers, please look away now.Eli and the Shane gang have been trying to beat the Goon and a scarier, monster-sized Dr. Blakk from getting to the Elementals. They didn't find the water and wind element fast enough and when they got to the fire elemental, the partners of darkness followed them and ghouled the fire elemental. When Eli asked the Goon if he had gotten information from the map given to him by his Dad, the Goon revealed that he got his information from Will Shane himself and revealed the new Dark Slinger as a corrupted Will Shane. Doc was able to cure him and he got to meet the Shane gang and see his

Waluigi, like Wario, also runs his own company. a branch of it, Waluigi Motorsports, supported the oil that the racers use in Mariokart Wii.

And as always, beware the Evillé Eye.
Apologies Accepted"Psst... psst... Eli..."Came a hushed whisper of a voice. When the sound reached his ears Eli snorted a bit in his sleep and rolled over, pulling the blanket covers over his ears to try and block the sound."I know you can still hear me..."There was the whisper again, only this time it was louder and carried a happier tone."What?" Eli yawned as he rolled over to face the man who was sharing the bed with him. "Junjie.... Junjie... really?" He sighed. "Dude... did you have to wake me up at like... early in the morning?" He yawned and sat up."Yes... I just... I couldn't sleep. I'm sorry." Junjie's brown eyes fell and locked onto his hands, he was fidgeting with his fingers.

Unexpected Side Effects pt 2True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.-Winston ChurchillDoktor Frogg threw himself into the trivial task Voltar burdened him with, spending hours and hours of wasted time in libraries, used book stores, and on the internet. Precious time that could have been better spent in the pursuit of world domination.At first most of the literature on the subject was useless. A lot of drippy new-age twaddle designed to evoke soothing emotions and coddle the reader. An open mind is one thing, but open it too much and all of one's commonsense and judgment falls out.Around the time he started thinking that he should report to Voltar that the whole thing was a dead end, he came across more substantial information. Such documents as results from tests conducted by Joseph Banks Rhine, who founded the parapsychology lab at Duke University.There were also experiments conducted on Uri Gellar at the Stanford Research Institute

DETROIT—Backed by strong pitching, early hitting and Mariners miscues, the Detroit Tigers moved into a tie for first place in the American League Central with a 8-1 win on Saturday evening at Comerica Park. It is the first time this season the Tigers have been atop the division standings.
Against the Tigers on April 28, Mariners starter Michael Pineda gave up two runs on four hits in six innings. His performance Saturday was similar early on, but mistakes by the Mariners on both offense and defense proved costly, and the Mariners could not come back.
With two outs in the first inning, Tigers outfielder Brennan Boesch singled to right field. Pineda then threw a wild pitch to advance Boesch to second before hitting Miguel Cabrera with a pitch. A single from designated hitter Victor Martinez gave the Tigers an early 1-0 lead.
On Pineda's next pitch, Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo threw to third base, hoping to catch Cabrera off the bag. But the throw went into left field, and Cabrera came in to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
The Tigers tacked onto their lead in the second inning with an RBI triple from Austin Jackson.
In the top of the fifth and with designated hitter Mike Carp on first base, Mariners third baseman Chone Figgins hit a line drive at Tigers second baseman Ramon Santiago. The ball got past Santiago, much to the surprise of Carp, who was forced out at second on a throw from Boesch. The next batter, outfielder Greg Halman, hit an infield single, but Figgins got too aggressive, rounding second base and getting tagged out in a rundown between second and third.
Jhonny Peralta added to the Tigers' lead in the sixth inning with a two-run home run of Pineda, who was done after 5 1/3 innings.
The Tigers tacked on another run in the seventh inning when Boesch, who is hitting .439 in June, led off with a double and was scored on a double by Martinez to take a 7-1 lead.
In the eighth, Jackson tripled and came home on Don Kelly's single.

Fans of the PineCone Bluegrass Radio Show will immediately recognize The Gibson Brothers. This group won 2011 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award for Album of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year for Help My Brother, the band's latest album which they released last year. Their most recent accolades include recognition earlier this year from the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA), which also recognized them for Album of the Year and Song of the Year for Help My Brother. In 2010, the brothers received the IBMA awards for Song of the Year and Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year for Ring the Bell, which was also the fifth consecutive Gibson Brothers album to hit the #1 spot on the Bluegrass Unlimited radio airplay chart.
The Gibson Brothers—Eric and Leigh—are widely recognized as the finest brother duet in bluegrass music today. Help My Brother is their 10th release and arguably the finest in the duo's career. The album features 13 tracks, most of which are originals, and all which feature the ensemble's tight arrangements as well as the contributions of band members Clayton Campbell (fiddle), Joe Walsh (mandolin) and Mike Barber (upright bass).

Finding help on top of a horse
Therapeutic Riding, Inc., or TRI, uses horseback riding to help children and adults with disabilities.
Jody Scott, the president of TRI, lists cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome and multiple sclerosis as some of the disabilities TRI works with. Scott says, "If there's some kind of challenge that an individual is facing, they will have an assessment to see if we would be a good fit."
One of the riders that Scott works with has multiple sclerosis, and benefits physically from riding. Scott says, "[She] is able to, when the horse is moving, tighten up her core muscles so that she can balance correctly. Then she uses these same positions in her wheelchair, actually, to help hold her back up straight, and by sitting up straight it opens up her entire rib cage so she can breathe better."
Horseback riding also has mental benefits. Scott says, "We have had some children who have never spoken a word, and their first words have been spoken while riding a horse at therapeutic riding."
TRI helps students who are in danger of failing their classes. Scott says, "Once they have that experience of being able to control an animal that's much bigger than they are, they build a sense of self confidence and realize that they can conquer the other challenges that they're facing in their lives."

Housing, jobs and CNG vehicles in 2013
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 6:53pm EST
This week on BGOV's Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:
- Natural Gas is perceived as plentiful and cheap because of the shale gas revolution. Despite abundant supplies, plenty of thought still needs to be given to compressed natural gas as a gasoline alternative. Bloomberg Government Energy Analyst Rob Barnett tackles those issues in his latest piece: Natural Gas: America's Alternative to Gasoline. Hurdles to Adoption and Potential Impact on Gasoline.
- With the Inauguration behind us we get down to the business of government, and what it means to the staples of society. Housing, jobs and the debt limit are the three topics that we'll tackle with Senior Economic Analyst Dr. Nela Richardson. She'll give us a look into 2013 with what the future holds for each.

A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper is recovering after being shot during a traffic stop in Durham.
Officers continued to search Tuesday morning for the suspect until he was later apprehended. Mikel Brady was taken into custody on warrants from Vermont following his arrest in Durham, according to the North Carolina Attorney General's Office.
Brady was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury in connection with the shooting of Trooper Michael Potts.
Authorities said Potts had surgery Monday night at Duke University Hospital. Patrol Sgt. Maurice Devalle told The Herald-Sun that Potts was doing well though his face is swollen. He was in fair condition early Tuesday.
Gov. Pat McCrory went to the hospital after his State of the State address Monday to see the trooper
Devalle said Potts had stopped a car around 6 p.m. Monday because the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. Devalle says the trooper was hit several times.
A car that appeared to be the suspect's vehicle was found abandoned behind a restaurant several hours later.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which kills or impairs cells of the immune system and progressively destroys the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers. The term AIDS applies to the most advanced stages of an HIV infection.
HIV is spread most commonly by sexual contact with an infected partner. HIV may also be spread through contact with infected blood, especially by sharing needles, syringes, or drug use equipment with someone who is infected with the virus. HIV transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, or by breastfeeding, has accounted for nearly all AIDS cases reported among US children.
The HIV virus may cause flu-like illness within a month or two after exposure, although there may not be any symptoms at all. Persistent or severe symptoms may surface within two years in babies born with an HIV infection.
The symptoms of HIV may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's physician for a diagnosis.
The National Institutes of Medicine, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Pediatrics and other health organizations recommend HIV testing of all pregnant women. Prenatal care that includes HIV counseling, testing, and treatment for infected mothers and their children saves lives and resources. Current recommendations are for HIV-positive women to take specific medications during pregnancy and during labor. Blood tests are also performed to check the amount of virus. Newborn babies of HIV-positive mothers may also receive medication. Studies have found that giving a mother antiretroviral medications during pregnancy, labor, and delivery can reduce the chance of transmission of HIV to the baby to less than 2 percent.
Cesarean delivery may be recommended for HIV-positive women, depending on the viral load. This also helps reduce the risk of transmission of the virus to the baby, especially when the mother receives medications. HIV may also be transmitted through breast milk. Because breast milk contains the virus, HIV positive women should not breastfeed their babies.

Gracie Rowe, 6, was selected as a winner for the Henson Mechanical Custom Built Playhouse.
Gracie suffers from Juvenile Idiopathic Systematic Arthritis. This disease prevents her from enjoying activities that children her age take for granted such as simply walking, running, or jumping. It is very painful and not only affects her joints, but her vital organs.
Diagnosed at 14 months, Gracie Lou takes 12 different medications a day and receives infusion therapy of 2 other drugs every 14 days. She can't run, jump, or ride a bike due to the pain. Gracie says her smile hides the fact that she feels bad going to the doctor.
She is currently on hospital home bound care from her school and with Christmas coming up she could use a little Christmas cheer! She had no idea that the custom built playhouse was soon to arrive in her backyard.
A total of four children received the custom playhouses.
FOX 5 was there for the special delivery. Click on the video link above to view this touching story.

Title of Service: Backbone Network
Status of Document: This document describes the backbone network services offered in June 2011.
1. Introduction
- The University Network Backbone is an Ethernet operating over optical fibre cables at 10 Gbps. It is arranged in a double star configuration with two central Cisco Catalyst 6509 core switches connected to 10 Cisco Catalyst 6506 edge routers providing over 200 separate optical fibre connections to college and department buildings.
- Within a building, a Frodo distribution switch (Cisco Catalyst 3750) provides multiple service connections. Ethernet connections can be supported at 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
- A separate Cisco Catalyst 6509 router provides a connection to the 10 Gbps link to the UK Academic Network, JANET, which gives connection to all Internet connections outside Oxford University.
- The University network is behind a Cisco firewall. This runs in default permit mode with blocks being added for some known vulnerabilities.
- The objectives of the service are to provide interconnection between all department and college networks and the external JANET network.
2. Summary of OUCS's responsibilities
2.1 The service operates at all times.
2.2 Operator cover is provided from 08:30 to 20:30 on weekdays. Periodic monitoring takes place outside these hours, and informal arrangements exist for staff to be called, but no funding is provided to make this contractual.
2.3 If a fault is notified between 09:00 and 17:00 on a working day, OUCS will commence investigation and correction within one hour (provided that no similar fault is also being handled by the same team). It must be noted that many Communications Rooms are under departmental control, and immediate access to these may not be possible.
2.4 If a fault is notified outside these hours, OUCS will use its best endeavours to attend the fault, but no funding is allocated to this purpose. It must be noted that access to departmental Communications Rooms may not be possible.
2.5 It is intended, as far as is possible, to maintain service of all components at all times. As most failures are through external causes, no overall or individual serviceability targets have been set. Many outside faults involve unplanned civil engineering work, and it is not possible to impose contractual targets.
2.6 JANET(UK) (the trading name for the JNT Association, which has responsibility for the management of the UK's Higher Education networking programme) advertises an at-risk time for the JANET network from 07:00 to 09:00 on Tuesdays. This is rarely invoked.
2.7 OUCS endeavours to carry out any work required during the Tuesday JANET at-risk period.
2.8 The Backbone Network is resilient to failure of either of its central switches. Failure of an edge router will cause the isolation of all sub-networks connected through it. Failure of the JANET router will cause loss of connection to the Internet.
2.9 Fibre optic routes between routers are duplicated, as is the link to the University departments in Headington. Links to individual departments and colleges are not usually duplicated and are vulnerable to damage.
2.10 The connection to the JANET network is duplicated as far as the JANET connection point at Reading. Resilience within the JANET network is in place and the responsibility of JANET(UK) and its contractors.
2.11 No alternative exists to any of these facilities.
Hardware and Software Maintenance
2.12 OUCS holds lengths of spare optical fibre cable, and has arrangements for rapid response from a local cable contractor and a local civil engineering contractor.
2.13 The power supplies to the Communications Rooms containing the routers are protected by UPS equipment giving approximately two hours' standby. The University Estates Directorate has been requested not to carry out any work in these rooms without consultation with OUCS. Equipment in the OUCS building shares a UPS with other essential services, giving approximately 30 minutes' standby. OUCS has a separate electricity feed from an adjacent University building, which can be brought into use to maintain this and a limited number of other essential services in the event of a localised outage of the main power distribution circuits in the OUCS building.
2.14 The Cisco router and firewall hardware is maintained by Cisco, whose contract specifies a next business day call out. OUCS Network Control team carries a spare edge router and parts on-site and can swap out faulty equipment.
2.15 Software updates to the Cisco equipment are supplied by Cisco and applied by the OUCS Networks team. Except in the case of a major system fault or the risk of a major breach of security, at least one week's notice will be given of down-time on any part of the network and departments and Colleges affected will be informed. Except for such vital fault corrections, software updates should not take place more than twice a year and should cause less than 30 minutes' downtime on each router.
2.16 Maintenance of the link to the JANET network is the responsibility of JANET(UK) and its contractors.
2.17 There is no scheduled development time.
2.18 Connection to the Network Information for departments and Colleges wishing to make new connections to the backbone network is given at http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/connect/.
2.19 Notification of faults, outages, etc is circulated on the mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com
Faults should be reported to OUCS Network Control on (2)73286. An answering machine receives calls outside office hours. OUCS will liaise only with department and College computing officers; no end-user networking support is provided.
3. Summary of clients' responsibilities
3.1 Departments and colleges are responsible for maintenance of their own internal networks and for liaising with OUCS over their connection to the backbone.
3.2 The client will provide contact details of the person with responsibility for the local network with whom OUCS can liaise over faults, upgrades, etc.
4. Overview of Service
4.1 It should be noted that the University pays the connection charges for the JANET network from the Infrastructure fund.
4.2 The cost of new connections to the backbone network falls on the department or college requiring that connection.
4.3 Upgrades to the connections between departments, colleges and the backbone may be required as part of periodic upgrades to facilities. The University will assign funding responsibility as it deems appropriate.
5. Premium services:
In addition to 4.2 above, work above and beyond the normal maintenance and connection of the existing network, e.g. to non-University units or premises, may be charged for but this would be part of a discussion between OUCS and the project or unit.

Green is more than a color these days. Thanks to the eco-friendly initiatives of the last decade, green is a way of life — a way to approach thinking and behaving that reduces our negative impact on the environment.
As such, the adjective "green" has been attached to a number of other industries to describe the push in those fields for greater earth-friendly approaches. That's the case with Green IT— the term used to describe how companies can be more energy efficient.
Why Green IT Is Important
Nearly a full third of a typical company's power consumption comes from their IT tasks. IT devices in this case encompass everything from internet routers to on-site servers to computer stations to printers and more. By increasing how energy efficient these devices are, and controlling the power-consuming tasks, allows companies to reduce both their costs and their carbon footprint.
The Green IT initiative has been so strong that analysts predict the niche consulting aimed at business IT will blossom into a five billion dollar industry by the end of 2013. Whether or not you invest in a consultant, there are several things you can do now to make your company's IT greener.
Ways to Greenify Your IT
There are dozens of ways you can reduce your power consumption, but some are more effective — and more practical — than others. Here are some of the best approaches you can use.
Choose Green Web Hosting
Unless you are living under a rock, if you have a business, you have a web site. And if you have a website, you need web hosting. Rather than going with a conventional web host, why not choose one of the many, well-equipped green web hosting companies instead?
Web hosts go green in the various ways. They can power their web servers with renewable energy like wind or solar, or purchase renewable energy credits (RECs) from a renewable energy provider. Some green web hosts purchase carbon credits to offset carbon emissions, however this does not prevent carbon from being emitted in the first place.
Buy Energy Efficient Hardware
If you're still using outdated hardware for any business task, you're probably wasting both money and energy. Old CRT monitors are nefarious power hogs when compared to LCD, older servers are both sluggish and electrically inefficient, and older computer PSUs give you less juice for a higher power cost. Replace your older hardware with current, energy-efficient alternatives.
Additionally, while not strictly IT, you can expand this renovation to anything in your building that uses power — your lights, heating/cooling units, or even the fridge in your break room.
Send Employees Home — Permanently
A great portion of companies are offering work-from-home positions. Not only does this save the company hardware costs, but you don't have to pay for power bills, on-premise workers' compensation fees, and a slew of other items. Additionally, employees — especially those with young children — are often eager to take on the opportunity.
While once impractical, new video conferencing, desktop sharing, and even specialized telecommuting software have made this option ideal for any company that is involved in primarily computer-based tasks. Employees who do web based work – online marketers, tech support, web developers, don't need to be in a physical location in order to do their jobs, so why not give them the option of location independence?
Location independence has great benefits for employees as well. They can save money and time commuting to and from work, which decreases their carbon footprint. And think about all the extra savings from not having to eat out or to invest in professional business attire. The virtual office is a win win for all.
Turn Going Green into a PR Opportunity
With cost and quality being equal, consumers, hands down, prefer to buy from socially responsible or eco friendly businesses. Consider communicating your sustainability efforts to your community. A great way to build an ongoing relationship with your customers is through blogging.
The good news about blogging is has very little startup cost, but yields enormous marketing and PR benefits. All you need is an inexpensive green web host, WordPress, and a professional green WordPress theme, like the free Green Stimulus theme, which you can download for free, and your going green business blog will be up and running in no time.

GALVESTON — Given Galveston's baby boomer demographics, the care of aging eyes is an expanding part of every ophthalmology practice in Galveston County.
