Inclusion Criteria:
Life expectancy of at least two years.
Stage 0, I, or II breast cancer. If stage II, the tumor size must be 3 cm or less.
On histological examination, the tumor must be DCIS or invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast.
Surgical treatment of the breast must have been lumpectomy. The margins of the resected specimen must be histologically free of tumor (>2mm, DCIS and invasive). Re-excision of surgical margins is permitted.
Gross disease must be unifocal with pathologic (invasive and/or DCIS) tumor size 3 cm or less. (Patients with microscopic multifocality are eligible as long as total pathologic tumor size is 3 cm or less.)
Patients with invasive breast cancer are required to have axillary staging which can include sentinel node biopsy alone (if negative), sentinel node biopsy followed by axillary dissection or sampling with a minimum total of 6 axillary nodes (if sentinel node is positive), or axillary dissection alone (with a minimum of 6 axillary nodes). (Axillary staging is NOT required for patients with DCIS.)
The patient must have the MammoSite catheter placed within 4 weeks or 28 days of the final surgery for their breast cancer (lumpectomy, re-excision of margins, or axillary staging procedure). Placement of a spacer for the MammoSite catheter is permitted at their final surgery.
Patients with a history of non-ipsilateral breast malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for 2 or more years prior to randomization. Patients with the following cancers are eligible even if diagnosed and treated within the past 2 years: carcinoma in situ of the cervix, colon, melanoma in situ, and basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Patients with a prior diagnosis of ipsilateral breast cancer are ineligible.
Must have 3 or fewer histologically positive axillary nodes with no extracapsular extension.
Chemotherapy is permitted if planned for ≥2 weeks after removal of Mammosite catheter.
Patient must be ineligible or have refused enrollment on the randomized trial RTOG 0413.
Exclusion Criteria:
T2 (>3.0 cm), T3, stage III or IV breast cancer.

Polyken 231 Military Grade Duct Tape is a high performance, waterproof packaging and sealing duct tape used for military and aerospace packaging and other demanding applications. It can also be used for media blast protection & surface masking and for other challenging repair, bundling and seaming applications (such as tarps). Polyken 231 Duct Tape benefits include: high tensile strength; extremely conformable; crisp, straight tear; moisture, solvent & abrasion resistant; and has aggressive adhesion to most surfaces. It is manufactured to conform to ASTM D -5486 Type IV Class 1 (supercedes PPP-T-60D & E Type IV, Class 1) and to DPM 871-3. Also please note that Polyken 231 comes to our converter in jumbo log roll format (that is why non-standard widths can be offered) and because of that rolls will ship on plain white cores. The shelf life on these rolls cut from source log roll material of 231 is one year from the manufacturer date. For the special-order by the case 2" and 3" 231 which comes on a branded Polyken core the shelf life is three years from the manufacturer date. NSN 7510-00-074-4961.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

A New Gold Standard
Seven Olympic medals couldn't quiet champion swimmer Amanda Beard's inner critic. So she set herself a different goal: happy and healthy.
By Linda Childers
At 14, swimmer Amanda Beard became a media darling when she won a gold medal and two silvers at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. With her mesmerizing blue eyes, contagious smile, and perpetual tan, she seemed the picture of a carefree California girl.
Beard went on to set and break records in the breaststroke, win a world championship, and rack up four more Olympic medals. Her accomplishments are all the more amazing because behind Beard's cheerful façade was an insecure teen dogged by depression.
No matter how many successes she racked up in the pool, she never felt she deserved the limelight. Lauded for her good looksshe modeled for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, Playboy, and the British men's magazine FHM in her 20sthe image she saw in the mirror was flawed and fat, far from pinup material.
"Some days, it was hard to just get out of bed," Beard admits. "There were all these great things going on in my life, but on the inside, I hated everything about me."
Beard found solace in swimmingnot in her triumphs, but in the rhythm of her strokes and the refuge of the water. Even when she felt overwhelmed, tired and miserable, she could put all that aside in the pool. [end of excerpt]

The State Finfish Management Project (SFMP) was created in July 2006 with a full time staff of seven scientists. The Project was re-organized in 2011 into a north/central and a southern California component. The former is now called the Northern and Central California Finfish Research and Management Project, with staff currently based in Monterey, Belmont and Eureka. The Project focuses on fisheries that are recreationally, commercially and ecologically important in central and northern California, and which are managed by the State alone. California halibut, surfperch, hagfish, true smelts and white seabass are among the species for which the Project collects data. The fishery data collected by the Project includes: length-at-age, catch per unit-of-effort, seasonal maturity, first maturity, fecundity, spawning season and location, fish movement, larval recruitment, bycatch, population structure, sex ratios, commercial and recreational landings, fishing gear effects on undersized fish, effects of marine protected areas and relative species composition within habitats. Not all types of data are collected for all species and not all datasets are continuous. These data are collected in order to manage fisheries with the best available scientific information and ensure their long term sustainability for economic and recreational benefits.
This web site will continue to include SFMP data prior to 2011 and will now include Project data from 2011 to the present.

Rabbenu Tam's name was יעקב בן מאיר. Why then is he known as Rabbenu Tam?

I've heared that Rabbenu Tam made a gzeira that cancels the curse of "ו תם לריק כוחכם", hence he is called Tam.
Here is a source that states this.
Ya'akov Avinu was known as an ish tam. Since they shared the first name Ya'akov (and possibly some personal character traits), one's appelation was applied to the other.

The Rush Way Now Plays Pearl!
Rush Soccer is very excited to announce another Caribbean partnership. As of today, Rush and Black Pearls - Viva Rio have signed an agreement to partner their clubs. "This is a great step for us, this is a very established club and we will soar to new heights in Haiti," said Caribbean Technical Director Brian Lux. Joining Cavaly AS Rush, we now have two clubs on the Haitian half of Hispanola. Big things are already happening for the Pearls.
On July 11, the Black Pearls Under-16 team will file into the team bus that they have become familiar with over the past few years. They will drive by exquisitely painted tap-taps (Haiti's shared taxis), green mountains that tower over the crystal clear Caribbean waters, and the energy of the Caribbean Culture that they've been raised in. With an exuberant mixture of nerves and excitement, they will say goodbye to their friends and family as they leave Haiti to participate in two of the World's top youth tournaments this summer: Gothia Cup & Norway Cup.
Gothia Cup ("The World Youth Cup") will run from July 14-July 20th in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Black Pearls will gear up to play Mariestads BK (Sweden), CA Intercups (Mexico), and Assi IF (Sweden) in the first round. Following Gothia Cup, the Black Pearls will again aim to demand attention as they "Play Pearl" against 3 Norwegian-based teams: Hurdal, KFUM-KAM and Kolvereid IL in the first round of Norway Cup (July 27th-August 3rd).
Check back soon for updates on the Black Pearls and their membership with Rush and welcome from the entire Rush Family!

Credit to feelthepain
Zone blocking is better used when your trying to trick defensive lineman by pulling lineman in different directions. Its almost like your trying to stunt block compared to defensive linemen trying to stunt and switch positions while rushing. There is NO benefit in zone blocking when passing UNLESS your trying to set up a screen pass or draw play because there is a "run/screen pass" option built into the play.
Side note - the only other time zone pass protections is "decent" is if your offensive lineman are a bunch of BEAST and maybe 1 of them need double team help. For example your starting LT goes down to injury and you put your back up scrubb, so why not zone block assign to help his scrubb arss out.
Zone blocking is a technique in American football that is a simple and effective scheme for creating lanes for running plays.
In a zone blocking scheme, fleet-footedness and athletic ability trump size as desirable qualities in offensive linemen. Coordination and technique matter more than muscle in implementing a successful scheme because defensive linemen are often double-teamed at the point of attack. Creating movement on the defensive line is more important than opening a specific hole in the defense.
In other words college football is simple and due to the gap in talent teams like florida can get away with crappy zone reads (screens, draws and options) but when they play top 25 ranked teams they look like crap.
If you wanna crown their arss then crown their arss!!!!
Zone blocking in the running game is when two or three offensive linemen work in tandem as opposed to each offensive lineman having a specific, predetermined man to block. Zone blocking involves the center, guard, tackle and tight end working in combination to block an area with an emphasis on double-teaming the defensive linemen who are aligned on the line of scrimmage.
The concept is for two adjacent linemen to come off in unison and attack a defensive line to the play side or to the side the ball carrier is going. The advantage, as opposed to man blocking, is that you create a double-team with two players blocking one defensive lineman. This allows the offensive linemen to be aggressive because he knows he has help if his defensive lineman was to pinch inside. It also provides movement at the point of attack, which can open creases for the running back.
Zone blocking initially starts out as a double team at the point of attack on the down defensive linemen, but the beauty of it is that one of the offensive linemen will leave to attack the linebacker while one stays to take over the defensive lineman. The key is for the two offensive linemen working in unison to double-team the defensive lineman to decide who and when one of them will leave to block the linebacker. In the diagram below, we show the offensive line starting the initial double team on the defensive lineman.Here's another good read on the zone blocking scheme.Zone-locking or man-locking principles may also be applied to pass blocking. Offensive linemen, when facing twisting defensive linemen, can also either lock on man-to-man or pass it off in a zone concept. When passing it off, or zone blocking, the key is to stop the penetration of the defensive end.
The Denver Broncos won two super bowls using zone blocking concepts and the Houston Texans have one of today's best running games because of this scheme.If anybody ever asks you what zone blocking is, the shortest possible answer you can give is that the linemen block zones rather than block defenders. (If the asker is particularly annoying, you can always say that in a matter-of-fact, how-could-you-not-already-know-that tone. Very effective.) Digging a little deeper, what this really means is that the linemen are looking for specific areas of the field to block; if a defender happens to be there, they block the defender in such a way as to control the spot. If a defender isn't there, they continue toward that spot, offering double-team assistance only if it's convenient. Once they control a zone, if they're not fully engaged, the linemen can then look to the "second level" for somebody in the defensive backfield to block (on run plays).
The reason teams came up with zone blocking is rather simple: big, hulking offensive linemen who are agile enough to keep up with defensive shifts are hard to come by. In the NFL, the problem is quite simply that there are not enough quality big linemen for every team to assemble a dominant offensive line. Instead of competing against 31 other teams for a scarce resource, some teams sought to find ways to use smaller, quicker linemen effectively. Because of the acknowledged weight disadvantage these linemen would face, the goal was to scheme away from the straight-up shoving contests and find ways to maximize leverage on the opponent.

Good deal !! Everyone likes to "Muck" with him at times !!!Originally posted by FinHeavenAJ
To everyone:
Muck has been with the site since 2/3/02, and has made a huge impact on the boards. When he later became a moderator on 7/22/03, many thought he would change, but didn't. Since, he has helped me with the site in so many ways; more than I could have even imagined. Truthfully, I don't know where the site would be right now without his assistance.
Next, on 11/4 Muck became a Super Moderator. Then, on 11/21 WharfRat and I made the ultimate decision... and now Muck is an Administrator.
So, let's all give a big CONGRATS to Muck, for a superior job and not letting this "task" get in the way of his humor and personality.
PS: Sorry this was announced earlier, but this decision was made during the weekend on the drive down to see my dad in Ft. Lauderdale.

Here is a cheap alternative to real latex FX makeup. I used it for a Zombie costume and wanted to show you how to use it in a Beauty and the Beast mask.
My standard Halloween costume for the past few years has been a tongue-in-cheek Beauty AND the Beast outfit (I paint my face to look like a Beast and then put on a princess dress for the Beauty part). This year I've decided to combine Beauty and the Beast in my face as well.
To do that, I spent weeks testing out different homemade concoctions that would behave like latex makeup and finally came up with a homemade "latex" recipe using tapioca flour. Cheap, easy, quick, and useful in various proportions of flour to water for making fake skin, scars, breasts, etc.
For this Beauty and the Beast FX makeup Instructable, I used:
* 6 1/2 LEVEL Tbsp tapioca flour
* 1 cup water
* Liquid foundation makeup
* Fake eyelashes
* Blue food coloring
* Various beauty makeup products
Step 1: Make Tapioca FX Makeup
Add one cup of COLD water and stir until all the tapioca flour is dissolved into the water. Tapioca flour behaves like cornstarch, so if you stop stirring, it will start to clump on the bottom of the pan.
Add several squirts of liquid foundation to give the FX latex an initial skin tone.
Turn the heat on to medium low and stir constantly until the tapioca mixture turns into a gummy mass. This takes about two minutes.
You now have homemade FX makeup.
Best of luck!
Have a blast!
Good luck!
I'm asking because I may be assisting with several makeups at an event and I'm looking for a way to make this in a good sized amount and transport it to the place of the event. (there is no kitchen at the event location).
Was hoping to see a smile!!! : )
Great work!
Excellent job!!! ;-D

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held April 13 to commemorate an historic event – the Petroleum Oil and Lubricants was officially dedicated April 13 at the Palmdale facility.
Timothy Hughes, Aeronautical Systems Center Detachment 1 acting director of Air Force Plant 42, welcomed Lt. Col. Tam Gaffney, Defense Logistics Agency Energy Americas West commander, and DLA Energy, Quality Assurance representative, Glenn Beshara.
Air Force Plant 42 partnered with the DLA-E in creating the new Air Force operated Plant 42 fuels testing laboratory, with the agency providing invaluable technical advice and support throughout the project. The project was successful due to a talented multi-functional team comprised of DLA Energy, Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, the contractor, and ASC Det. 1 civilian employees, including civil engineers, fuel technicians, communication specialists and contracting. Special recognition for the project went to Ed McCown, lead engineer, Don Bouche, POL Lab facility manager, and Juan Rivera, project inspector.
Plant 42 representatives said the building process was a long and arduous undertaking; however, through close collaboration between the Air Force, DLA Energy, AFCESA and the contractor, the team was able to design a building that was functional and meet current standards, while remaining within budget.
AF Plant 42 has existed since 1953, but for decades, due to the absence of an on-plant testing facility, all Air Force Plant 42 government fuel samples were transported to Edwards Air Force Base for testing and analysis. This weekly, sometimes daily, process was costly, slow and extremely cumbersome. With this new POL Lab, which also includes a Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Plant 42 will be able to ensure all aircraft operations, whether military or contractor, receive clean, dry fuel to support their missions, and with a substantial savings to the Air Force.
Air Force Plant 42 is a government-owned, contractor operated industrial facility. Military operations and contractor operations, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and NASA, share a common runway complex consisting of two 12,000-foot. The Aircraft Control Tower is the fourth busiest in all of Air Force Materiel Command with approximately 30,000 operations a year.

Location and comfort.
Our group enjoyed our stay with clean rooms and comfy beds.The evening meal left a little to be desired as the content was only warm close to being cold and my wife's chicken appeared slightly undercooked.We however did not complain as we were enjoying the stay.The breakfast was superb. Lastly the male receptionist was friendly and cheerful.
|04 September 2014 Anthony United Kingdom
Nice hotel and bedroom. Staff very nice and helpful .great breakfast. would stay again but only on bed and breakfast and use local pub.

The location
Small room in a bog standard, slightly depressing hotel. Meal included with this deal but 'Richmond Gate Mess' had no meringue, let alone 'home made meringues' as advertised and was just a bowl of over-whipped cream.

Hey All!
Just wanted to give you guys an official update on the Jim Warner Memorial Course. The course if fully designed and was logged with the rest of the property. When the logging company was here they cut down most of the trees that we needed dropped, but left lots of scrap wood which they couldn't use.
The course and land is at the point where we need some man power out there to remove debris that was left on the fairways and cut the remainder of trees. We have been working hard to finish up the other courses before undertaking a new one. The time is here to start shifting gears and focus our efforts on the new course, unfortunately the man power isn't.
We are going to have a work day on March 8th, 2008 at 10am, before our Unity Summit on the following weekend. I would like to have a crew start working on the Warner course as well as some people help me prepare a few things for the upcoming tournament. From here on out the focus of work days will be directed twords the new course and scheduled days will happen at least once a month going forward.
I am also available to have groups of people come out ANYTIME during the week or weekends. If you have a group of buddies that want to come help me do some work on the course give me a call or email a day or two before hand and i can schedule myself to be out there with you.
The more volunteer hours i can get the quicker this course will get completed. We usually work a half day and play a round after but i am open to anything my volunteers want to do. If i have large work days i am able to offer lunch and or other goodies to people willing to help out.
Thank You for the tremendous support we have received thus far with this course and hope to see some of you out here soon!!!

Audio: Raising Capital for Community Banks (CD)
Recorded: March 27, 2013
Length: 60 Minutes
The ability to raise capital is becoming ever more important for healthy banks that want to grow and acquire and for troubled banks striving to survive in a challenging economic and regulatory environment. At the same time, the collapse of pooled trust preferred opportunities and uncertain IPO markets are limiting traditional sources of capital. This 60 minute audio conference will illustrate a number of creative ways community banks can raise both offensive and defensive capital in the current market. This session will also discuss the likely impact of Basel III on future capital requirements for U.S. community banks.
Speaker: Peter G. Weinstock
Peter Weinstock, Co-Practice Group Leader of the national firm of Hunton & Williams. Peter's practice focuses on corporate and regulatory representation of small ($10-15 million) to mid-size (several billion dollars) financial institutions.
For the past 14 years, Peter has served as co-editor of ICBA's, "Subchapter S: The Next Generation" newsletter. He is the author of numerous articles in law and banking publications. His article, "Acquisitions of Failed Banks - Present Risk and Opportunity," was voted the second best article appearing in The Risk Managers Association Journal of 2011. He has spoken at over 125 banking conferences and seminars, including for over the last ten years, ICBA's annual conference.

This is tragic and weird. MMA fighter Shane Del Rosario is on life support after suffering a series of critical heart attacks this week, but according to numerous sources close to the situation (including Del Rosario's own family members), he is still alive. That's contrary to what ESPN's been reporting for several hours under MMA writer Josh Gross's byline. The weirdest part? Gross says he never wrote that article.
Of course, ESPN's false reporting has now spread in both attributed and unattributed ways, with online memorials and tributes already a reality. The details of Del Rosario's case lead us to assume they will, sadly and eventually, be valid. But for now, he's a man who is not dead; ESPN is insisting he is dead, and the man under whose name ESPN is doing the insisting denies the very report he is alleged to have written.
This is my latest reporting on Shane Del Rosario. Please ignore any report that claims he died. http://t.co/hVBgnTLsTq

Update (8:55 a.m.): Roughly 12 hours later, ESPN finally removed the false story. Here's what it looked like before it was removed:

Salmar (Q, pron. [ˈsalmar]) made the Ulumúri for his lord Ulmo, the great conches which produce the music of the sea.
In the index of The Silmarillion Salmar is described as a Maia, but it is unknown whether that entry was written by J.R.R. Tolkien or his son Christopher Tolkien. While there is no other text describing Salmar as one of the Maiar his status as a spirit who accompanied Ulmo but was not listed amongst the Valar would make that the logical conclusion.
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In earlier conceptions of the legendarium (see: The History of Middle-earth) Salmar is often called by the title Noldorin, and sometimes Lirillo, and was envisioned as a Vala in the service of Aulë.

SOUTH BEND — Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced today that $2,736,125.83 in lost or forgotten assets, known as unclaimed property, has found its rightful owners to residents in the South Bend region that includes Elkhart, Fulton, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Marshall, Pulaski, Saint Joseph and Starke counties. That amount exceeds the total amount returned to this region in 2011 by more than $222,000. Claims are still being processed and could reach $3 million by the end of the year.
"Reuniting money with its rightful owners always brings me great pleasure, but I want to remind everyone that there is much more to be claimed," Zoeller said. "In this region alone there is still $14 million that I'd love to get back into the economy for Hoosiers and their families."
The Indiana Unclaimed Property database is also now mobile. Anyone can search for free through the mobile application — just use keyword Indiana Unclaimed to download. The app makes it easy to look for unclaimed property belonging to you, friends, relatives or neighbors anytime. Business owners and charitable organizations should also check annually for unclaimed property.
Financial institutions and other holders are required annually to turn over the assets of accounts in which there has been no activity for several years, depending on the type of account. Unclaimed property includes investment earnings, insurance proceeds and benefits, wages, and money from savings and checking accounts. Less than one percent of unclaimed assets are tangible, physical items, such as those found in safe-deposit boxes. It is important to note that unclaimed property does NOT include abandoned vehicles, real estate or other such items.
In total, the state's unclaimed property database holds more than $350 million in assets. In 2011, the Attorney General's office returned more than 77,000 properties totaling more than $44.3 million.
The Unclaimed Property database can be searched 24-hours a day, 7 days a week at www.IndianaUnclaimed.com. The Unclaimed Property Divisions toll-free number is 1.866.IN.CLAIM (1.866.462.5246). This is a free service of the Indiana Attorney General's Office.

What is the impact of Amy Cuddy's body language practice, in cognitive terms?
The part of how the posture can stimulate hormones and make you behave in a most efficient way, I get it. But I feel as if we are missing what happens in between, in terms of thoughts.
If the posture generates chemical changes in terms of hormones, how does this relate to (or happen as the same time as) the mind-change here? Does cognitive disonnace occur between the thought "I am not sure I can do this" and the thought "I am perfectly capable of doing this"? Does one thought supress the other or just makes it less powerful for a few moments?
Thanks in advance for your comments, I am a psychologist and I find the idea of "fake it till you become it" absolutely wonderful, which is why I'd love to understand better the whole mental process that allows this to happen.
Gail .
Oct 13 2012: You said:, "But I feel as if we are missing what happens in between, in terms of thoughts"
- +2
You can easily answer that yourself. Look at your posture right this minute. Are your shoulders slumped forward or are they back and upright? Consider your face. Are you smiling or not?
Suddenly, assume absolutely perfect posture and put a smile on your face. Become aware of INTERNAL changes as they transpire within the next half-minute. There is your answer.
Oct 15 2012: I made the posture change and certainly I noticed the internal changes... As Rodolfo mentioned in this same conversation, awarness is a key word. Thanks for your comment!
Gail .
Oct 15 2012: Self-awareness is the key to a fascinating and rewarding life. Those growing numbers of people around the world who refer to themselves as being "awakened" are simply aware of internal processes that they had been ignoring most of their lives. Those internal conversations are your POWER, and you are powerful indeed, as Amy Cuddy begins to show.

Oct 17 2012: Thenk you very much TED Lover.
It is amazing that for weeks and weeks I was trying to understand what was that, what made some people behae they behave. You point so clever, I just bumped into in and just hit the right spot. Such a wonderful statement, Self-awareness is the key to a fascinating and rewarding life!Oct 16 2012: Carmen,
That is a good question. I am a psychologist too and I left my Bachelor thinking the same. And now as a Dance/Movement Therapist (DMT) I think I can manage to think about the links between body &mind.
TED Lover has answered part of your question, showing you your implicit knowledge about it, but I would go further with theoretical constructs.
First thing, concerning developmental theories: When a child is learning to talk, she/he does it with his/her body. We all had learnt that way. There is no other way of learning to communicate whiteout using our body. We also learn to describe our thoughts by listening to what our caretakers observe from us. "Are you happy"? "Don't be afraid"...
The second thing, which is related to this, is the notion of "implicit knowledge", which is a kind of knowledge that complements the verbal/cognitive knowledge. Daniel N. Stern talks about that in his book "The Present Moment in Psychotherapy".
Also, in the neuropsychology field, there are many discussions. First, there is the kind of attention that both our hemispheres put in the reality -I recommend another TED Talk in this topic, by McGilchrist (2011, The divided Brain). Then, the work of Varela about enactive approach to perception and learning, and the research about mirror neurons by Gallese.
In the DMT field there are a lot of works that try to research the relations between movement, hemispheres /mirror neurons/ enactive approaches and self-evaluation. The American Association (ADTA) has a Journal with excellent articles.
For you I recommend the Doctoral Thesis of Diana Fischman about empathy, which is in Spanish and you can access online. Just search for 'Diana Fischman Empatía' in Google.
It is a huge, complex and inspiring field! Welcome!
Oct 18 2012: Hello colleague! Yes, it is definitely a complex field! but it would't be a challenge otherwise, thanks a lot for the recommendations, I'll look for the talk about the divided brain and the thesis by D. Fischman.
Thank you for your comment!
Elizabeth Gu
Oct 15 2012: I think it's pretty interesting question,Carmen. And I love her talk, too.

Btw, aside from your question, I just want to ask..
When actors and actresses play their own characters, does this idea have to do with their actions?
I mean, for them, it's almost temporary thing.
For us, if we just fail to fake it till we become it, but instead, just fake it till we make it, what's the difference between actors and us?
Oct 18 2012: I guess if we just fake it till we make it, but not until we become it, then maybe we would be a little bit like "impostors", actors playing briefly a role but for a good cause, right? at least to have a temporary accomplishment, someone insecure could act as an assertive and confident person and succeed at something.
Even so, I think that no one wants to feel like an actor. I think what Amy really meant is that this faking is kind of "taking the chance to believe that we are able to do it" (... because after all, maybe we ARE able).
Thanks for yor comment!Oct 19 2012: Elizabeth and Carmen,
As a former actor, I suggest that we are actors, and actors are "us"...actors are people who can get in touch with various emotions and body language to project those emotions.
I found that while playing a certain "type" of character for a period of time, I sometimes began adopting the look and body language of the character. When playing an elderly person for the two week run of the play, for example, I sometimes began to feel less energetic, when I looked in the mirror, I felt that I was older, etc. When playing the role of a younger, energetic person, I often felt younger and more energetic even when off the stage. So, I would guess that depending on how much we use this practice, determines how much it changes the chemistry in our body/mind.
I also believe it depends on several levels of our own consciousness. For example, one time I was injured while sailboat racing in the daytime, and had a performance in the evening. On the way to the theater, I was in quite a bit of pain. During warmups (hair, makeup, costume, physical and vocal warmups, etc.) the pain started to subside and I sang, danced and acted a leading role in the musical production. There was no pain....I WAS the character, and the character had not been sailboat racing that afternoon.
After the performance, the pain returned, so the next day I had it checked out....I had 4 cracked ribs. I continued the performance for two weeks, resting, heat, ice in the day, and performing without pain in the evening. This is not something that everyone can expect to do right away....I had lots of practice (faking it) before this situation:>)

By common sense:
Our brain is evolved from our body inseparably, and thus they have to inseparably work together.
So, the body and brain have to change synchronically.
That is, to change the posture will simultaneously change the brain.
Oct 19 2012: Yes, as I mentioned previously I do understand the impact that posture has on hormones as testosterone and cortisol, but my doubt was more directly related to the cognitive process that happens as a result of this chemical change. To be more precise, in terms of thoughts and cognitive dissonace. Sure thing, thoughts are modified too as result of posture change, but I still wonder how exactly this happens.. very interesting topic! thanks for your comment.Oct 19 2012: personal choice has nothing to do with body language. if you are a flight person and you stand in a certain position, no matter what your body is saying to the other person you are still going to flight. Body language is for the observer not the self. Now if you are in a situation were you are not comfortable body language might help with the chemical uptake. And give you more confidence in that specific situation. Body might represent the mind, but the mind does not represent the body
Oct 19 2012: I think that body language can be, indeed, observed by others, but we can become aware of our own body language and as a result, induct changes in it. Since it's all connected, I also think (and that's the core argument of Amy Cuddy's talk) that these posture changes do have an impact at other levels, for example our attitude at the moment we practice that change. I think it goes both ways, and as some already mentioned in this conversation, maybe the key word here is "awarness", being capable of observing ourselves. Thanks a lot for your comment!
Oct 19 2012: Never in the history of me taking to someone, when I crossed my arms did that mean I was not engaged in the conversation.
Confidence does not come from body language, its a choice
Oct 19 2012: Casey,
I agree with you that confidence is a choice, and don't you think that how we move and position the body facilitates the flow of energy, and may influence our choice?Oct 19 2012: Sure, about energy flow, but even then it could be screaming at them to jump, but it still takes the mind to grab that choice and run with it.Oct 17 2012: I love the talk, and I love your question/
It is such an awesome thing is that we can understand and regulate our body. Well by regulating it, we also change the hormones in it. IS not that amazing or terrifying fact for us? I believe almost everybody should see t in practice then coe back to TED and share their experiences.
Oct 18 2012: I agree, and the wonderful thing is that it goes both ways. Thoughts and emotions can reflect on posture but also can be influenced by posture, I also thought it was a wonderful talk, also Amy's testimony is just absolutely moving. Thanks for your comment, Andrey.Oct 15 2012: My layman´s opinion is that one has to be cautious with the concept. I think that what may really make a difference is awareness of our body and attitudes; the constant practice of awareness may produce changes. But just the faking should make no difference, we all meet everyday empty people who care only about their looks, their clothes, etc
Oct 15 2012: I agree, awareness of posture may have a deeper impact in the long term, with constant practice. But it still it's interesting that a very short-term posture change can produce such positive changes as Amy Cuddy described. Thank you for your comment!
