The basic component of the breast is the "mammary gland". Each mammary gland is made of multiple lobules connected to ducts and surrounding tissue which includes blood vessels.
Malignant tumors may arise from any of the above structures. Ductal carcinomas are the most common ones, followed by lobular carcinomas, and malignancies arising from other connective tissues. The following is a list of breast cancer histologic classifications from American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC).
Carcinoma, NOS (not otherwise specified)
Histopathologic evaluation of a breast cancer is necessary to provide the diagnosis of the tumor, to help determine a patient's prognosis, and to help understand the nature of breast cancer overall.
Invasive (infiltrating) ductal carcinoma is the most common cell type, comprising 70% to 80% of all cases. The tumors occur throughout the age range of breast carcinoma, being most common in women in their middle to late 50s. It is characterized by its solid core, which is usually hard and firm on palpation. An associated ductal carcinoma in-situ is frequently present and comedo necrosis may occur in both invasive areas and areas of intraductal carcinoma. Invasive ductal carcinoma commonly spreads to the regional lymph nodes and carries the poorest prognosis among various ductal types. Nuclear and histologic grade have shown to be effective predictors of prognosis.
Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) consists of malignant epithelial cells confined to the mammary ducts, without microscopic evidence of invasion through the basement membrane into the surrounding tissue. According to the tumor differentiation, DCIS can be further divided into low, intermediate, and high grade. Such stratification has prognostic implications.
There are five histologic subtypes of DCIS, namely comedo, papillary, micropapillary, cribriform, and solid. The comedo subtype carries the higher probability of high nuclear grade, microinvasion, and over expression of the her-2/neu oncogene. The most characteristic mammographic abnormality associated with DCIS is "clustered microcalcifications". New classification systems using a combination of architecture, nuclear grade, and necrosis have been proposed, but the merits of these systems remain to be proved.
Invasive lobular carcinoma is relatively uncommon, comprising only 5% to 10% of breast tumors. Invasive lobular carcinomas are characterized by greater proportion of multicentricity in the same or the opposite breast. The lesions tend to have ill-defined margins, and occasionally the only evidence is subtle thickening or induration. Patients with infiltrating lobular carcinoma are especially prone to have bilateral carcinoma. Stage by stage, invasive lobular carcinoma has a similar prognosis to infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
Lobular carcinoma in-situ (LCIS) generally lacks specific clinical or mammographic signs, and occurs more frequently in premenopausal women. By definition, these cancer cells are confined to the mammary lobules without invasion. LCIS is characterized microscopically by a solid proliferation of small cells. The cells have a low proliferative rate, are typically estrogen receptor positive, and rarely over express the her-2/neu oncogene. Since there is a reported risk of bilaterally in this disease, some investigators have recommended treatment with bilateral simple mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. If watchful waiting is elected, lifetime observation is mandatory since the increased risk of breast cancer persists indefinitely.
Tubular carcinoma is also known as a well-differentiated carcinoma. The frequency of axillary lymph node metastases is approximately 10%, lower than that of ductal carcinoma. The prognosis is considerably better than for invasive ductal carcinoma.
Medullary carcinoma is characterized by a prominent lymphocyte infiltrate. Patients with medullary carcinoma tend to be younger than those with other types of breast cancer. The prognosis is also believed to be better than for invasive ductal cancer.
Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma is characterized by diffuse skin edema, skin and breast redness, and firmness of the underlying tissue without a palpable mass. The clinical manifestation is primarily due to tumor embolization to dermal lymphatics (skin lymph channels) with associated engorgement of superficial capillaries. Inflammatory breast cancer carries a poor prognosis.
Paget's disease of the nipple is a rare form of breast cancer that is characterized clinically by eczematoid changes of the nipple. It is believed that Paget's disease represents the migration of malignant cells from subjacent mammary ducts in the nipple. The prognosis of patients with Paget's disease appears to be similar to that of women with other types of breast carcinoma, stage for stage.

The fact that Tupac Shakur was killed long before 11-year-old Willow Smith was even born , didn't stop her from writing a letter to rap legend on behalf of her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith.
In her letter she asks that he "come back," and writes her mother "really misses" him.
As has been chronicled over the years, Pinkett Smith and Shakur were classmates in Baltimore and eventually became close friends. The actress has said the two never had a romantic relationship, although she and Pac had feelings for one another.
Willow posted the letter on Instagram and added: "Lookie Lookie, what I found, I wrote it YEARS ago."
The letter itself reads:
"Dear Tupac, I know you are alive someplace. I think that my mommy really misses you. Can you please come back. Can you come back so me and my momy and me can be happy! I wish you were here… I really do! Love, Willow."

I am looking for a grammar that describes the formal language
$L = \{ xyx^R \;|\; x,y \in \{a,b\}^*\}$
where $\{a,b\}^*$ corresponds to the regular expression [ab]*.
If there would be no y and the language would therefore contain all the words that are palindromes there wouldn't be any problem. I just don't get the "y" included therein.
Could you please help me to find a solution?
Thanks in advance

FROM TPD -- The Topeka Police Department would like to remind citizens that summer time brings an increase in the number of companies utilizing door-to-door solicitors to sell security systems. With this increase comes an increase in inquiries as well as complaints about some of the methods used by some businesses.
Purchasing a security system to safeguard your home or business is a very personal decision and should not be made in haste. High-pressure sales where the salesperson demands or requires an immediate purchase of their product should raise a red flag with the purchaser.
Law enforcement authorities recommend you do some basic research before you agree to purchase any security system:
*Is the business licensed locally?
City Code - 5.15.020 License required.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to engage in the operation of an alarm business within the city without having first obtained a license to operate such a business from the chief of police.
(b) It is unlawful for any person to engage in altering, installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, moving, or servicing an alarm system within the city limits, or causing the same to take place without having been certified for the particular classification of system involved.
*Does the alarm company belong to professional security organizations?
City Code 5.15.030 Certifications – Persons engaged in installation or repair of alarm systems.
(a) Persons engaged in altering, installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, moving, or servicing alarm systems as a condition of obtaining a license, shall be certified by the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association for the particular classification of the system involved.
*Has the alarm company given you a full copy of your contract? Have you actually read the contract to make sure you know what you are signing?
*Have they provided you with information on local alarm ordinances?
City Code 5.15.070 Required operational practices.
(1) Provide the alarm user, at the time of lease or installation of the alarm system, a written copy of the city of Topeka's false alarm penalties and procedures. The alarm user shall acknowledge the penalty procedures. The alarm business shall forward to the police chief a copy of these procedures signed by the alarm user acknowledging that such user understands how to operate the alarm system and the billing system for false alarms as set forth in Chapter 8.05 TMC, and any amendments thereto
*Have you checked with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or other consumer reporting organizations to see what other consumers are saying about the company?
• Does the alarm company have local service available to work on your security system when there are problems with the system?
• Is the alarm company claiming an endorsement or indicating they are working with a local law enforcement agency? Law enforcement agencies do not endorse one alarm company over another and do not monitor alarm systems.
(For instance, in Topeka, all employees of alarm companies who conduct sales or do security system installations are required to have a photo identification card issued by the City with them at all times. This is one of the first things a consumer should ask to see if contacted by someone selling security systems.)
After you've done your checking, if consumers have any unresolved issues regarding any door-to-door security/alarm system reps and their services, we strongly encourage you to be pro-active and file formal complaints for resolve at: www.bbb.org If you have checked on proper permit registration and feel that the rep who approached you was not properly registered, report it to your local city licensing office (and/or law enforcement office, such as Kennewick Police, if they handle the permits.)
To find out what kind of system is best for you, it is wise to do your own homework and research and not just go with the first pitch. Get estimates from Accredited Businesses on the BBB Industry Roster at: www.spokane.bbb.org and then also ask your insurance company that covers your home for advice, as well. Also, talk to your insurance agent; some systems may qualify you for a discount on homeowner's premiums. Further tips:
*As with any door-to-door activity, if the person pitching a service won't take no for an answer, consider this to be high pressure sales. You have the right to refuse their pitch and demand that they leave your premises. If they do not, or if you feel threatened in any way, contact your local police department to report it.
*Don't ever let an alarm system rep convince you that the system you currently have isn't hooked up right, or needs an upgrade, etc., and attempt to sign you up for their system when you already have a system in place. If you say yes to another system monitor, you will have two active contracts, and may need to pay an early cancellation fee to gain the new system. If you have a system already, consult first with your original alarm system contractor before saying yes to a second option.
*If you seek to buy a home security system, contact at least three companies before selecting an installer.
*Prices for home security systems will vary, based on the level of protection and type of technology used, so be sure to compare apples-to-apples bids on similar systems. Do not forget to factor in the initial installation charge, as well as monthly monitoring charges.
*Ask the following: What is your recourse if you are not satisfied with the services provided? Can you cancel the contract? What are your rights if your monitoring company is purchased or acquired by another alarm company? These are the types of questions you need to consider before you obligate yourself to a long-term contract.
*Insist that the installer "walk" you through your system until you fully understand how it works. This will prevent the most common problem: false alarms. False alarms are an indicator of the quality of the alarm installation and user education.
*Ask for a complete inspection of your property and an itemized written estimate. Review the sales contract closely to ensure you understand exactly what equipment and protection you will be provided?

Well, Zach? What's it going to be? Signing it or spurning it?Hide replies
I think the handwriting is on the wall. Zack ain't stayin'. If he was stayin', he would jump at the Brewers offer since it is more than reasonable. Ask Ryan Braun.
Weel now that the cat is out of the bag, hopefully Melvin can stop his mummbling and grumbling and denying if anything is happening......It gets old everyime he is like well I dont know or cant say one way or another responses.Hide replies
that is why tony kornheiser doesn't interview players, coaches/mgrs or gm's because he already knows the answers before the question is asked. i can already answer all the questions rr is going to be asked after tonights game.
Stop whining. Melvin has say nothing when it comes to contract negotiations or potential trades. Discression is an expectation of his position. You don't have a right to know.
Melvin has no business confirming or denying a contract offer.It's entirely up to the player.Even his agent wouldn't confirm or deny.
I give Grienke credit for being so up-front about it.
It would have been very easy for Melvin to make the offer contingent on Grienke not confirming or denying it and He didn't,he left it entirely up to Zach which is the most honest way to do it.
gbar15: Really?? How many other sports GMs conduct team business in the media. In fact, Melvin is probably more forthecoming than most.
Yea you guys are probably right......Guess I am just wishing we were hearing that he signed. I understand DM has to keep his cards not shown.
Greinke being the straightforward guy he is has acknowledged the contract offer. He does not have to say any more. He did not even have to say what he did. There is still a good chance him and wife has not even decided what they are going to.
Bon voyage Mr. Greinke. I'm sure the Boston or New York media will treat you just fine.
I would like to test the waters myself. How many top prospects can we get for the aloof one?Hide replies
i think you had better get yourself a good life raft if you are testing the waters.
I'm gonna ask a dumb question, but am the only one that thinks that even if we trade Greinke, he might still come back to Milwaukee once free agency starts?? Don't think it is out of the question, as it seems as if Greinke and Melvin are tight, he loves pitching at Miller Park, and his wife likes the city...just saying....Hide replies
If all you say is true, sign now.
it's literally never happened before.... doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's certainly highly unlikely.
Juan - you should get your fact straight. It literally has happened before. With the Brewers. In the late 70's they traded Jim Slaten to Detroit for Ben Oglivie. Slaten became a free agent after the season and signed with Milwaukee.
i apologize.... as i've been corrected. it happened in the 70s. how's that for precedent????
Seems like Melvin has done what we all wanted: made a legitimate offer. Perhaps there is still some back and forth going on. But if not, Melvin now needs to decide if less than a half a season for Greinke and whatever the comp pick is (and it ain't what it used to be), is better than whatever offers are out there (and the offers might not be that great). Tough spot for Doug.Hide replies
Yeah, Eddie. I am afraid this is shaping up as a lose/lose scenario for our team. Oddly enough, I don't think Zach is going to come out of it as a super happy guy, either. All in all, it's really too bad....
Take it! Sign on the dotted line, Zack. Let's get this show on the road. You are wanted here, you are comfortable here, what more could you ask for?Hide replies
money! more of it! Greed? Player's union "forcing?" guys to take the best offer.
That's true. They are actually trying to force players to become free agents to get more money, instead of signing a cheaper deal ahead of time.
The players union has NO say in anybody's contract if it meets CBA standards. Don't be an idiot and think the union is "forcing" players to go anywhere. More than just a few big names have NOT gone where the money was the greatest. Players ARE the union. They'll go where they truly want to go.
Didn't work too well with Braun did it?
in the longrun it sure did.... braun's overall contract is not the bargain that everyone claims. the first one was.... people might be forgetting that he's since signed a 2nd extension.
Hartz- You hit it on the head. Does he really think that the grass is greener for someone with Social Anxiety Disorder in a BIGGER city with much less nice people?! This is the place for Zack Greinke. His agent needs to shut up and let him sign the contract!
bcuz im sure that no one w/ social anxiety disorder has ever lived & prospered in a big city.
I get very,very nervous signing pitchers( even with Grienke's numbers) to these kinds of contracts.Hide replies
Me, too. Trade him now!
as you should.... it's risky business. but you have to be willing to take risks in you want to reap the ultimate rewards.
I'd rather have Juan Nieves if he wants to be here than somebody who doesn't want to be here.
people are WAY overblowing this idea of wanting to be here vs not wanting to be here.
$100 million here. A $100 million there. Pretty soon you're gonna ask the ball boy to play shortstop.
WANTWO - Today at 4:42 PM
$100 million here. A $100 million there. Pretty soon you're gonna ask the ball boy to play shortstop.
Why not I've heard of a "Waterboy" playing linebacker. :-)
i gues by your response you didn't like suppan when he was here?
If Zack wants to win with Milwaukee long term he should tell the Brewers he is going to test the waters of free agency either way, Brewers move him for prospects and try to sign him in the winter as a free agent, then you'd have Greinke and some prospects! From Zack's point of view Milwaukee would have to be a more attractive team because it would have bolstered their minor league system making them more viable for the length of his desired contract.Hide replies
If he goes free agent, he's not coming here. That's for certain. He will go with the highest bidder; that highest bidder will not be Milwaukee.
There is no way the Brewers as a team could play that game. If he goes free agent there is no way in the world the Brewers would end up with the largest contract. If he does not sign in the next week he is a goner.
By Greinke confirming this offer and not signing it....hurt the Brewers and his overall worth.Hide replies
We don't yet if he's signing it or not.
I'm just wondering how well he'll pitch with the everyone in baseball knowing the offer.Just as much pressure with the offer out there now.

One ounce of soda out of those machines costs around 1/10th of a cent. And they're charging us over 10 cents an ounce. Whos not being ethical?
@eraten: I've never seen a sign saying free refills. I know the cost of BiB syrup is cheap but I feel that if they don't have a sign saying you can then you shouldn't assume that you can. I was just wondering how others feel, there's one sit down diner I go to that doesn't give free refills on pepsi/coke products so it's not a common thing that you should always get free refills.
That's not ethical!?! I got your unethical refill right here:
When my friend worked at a gas station when we were kids, we could bring our own cup, any cup, and drink for free!
No cup and you had to buy one.
I did wheeze the machine a few times (Drink from the tap: I think this is a term from Pauly Shore buudddyyy).
For many, the fountain machines are a contract. You pay for each cup used, not the volume of soda dispensed.
Why are you buying food at a gas station to begin with?
I have personally never done it, but I see people do it. Not a fan of it myself, but what do I know.
@wickedd365: Royal Farms and Sheetz have VERY good food.
@wickedd365: I do when I take long road trips. If you go to a good gas station they usually have better (and cheaper) food than the fast food joints.
Roller Food!
If you're waiting for food at the gas station, you're doing it wrong. Grab a fist full o' dogs from the roller machine and scarf 'em down. Done. No time for refills.
Edit: I don't see an issue with topping off you drink. I've seen people do this with coffee. Take a sip, put a little more in and then call it good. If the gas station was worried about abuse, it wouldn't be self service.
I think I got heartburn just thinking about eating at a gas station. and to pick up on @caffeine_dude : "You see you've got your 4 basic food groups: corn nuts-vegetable group, sweettarts-fruit group, burrito-meat group, and milk duds-dairy group."
@bsmith1: "If the gas station was worried about abuse, it wouldn't be self service."
That's what I'm thinking.
I know a lot of places around here have a note stating if you drink some of your drink and top off your cup you will be charged for a refill.
I would ask if it's ok to refill. If yes, then I would. If no, then I wouldn't. If it's a Subway or McDonalds, etc. that have an eat in area that usually allows refills, then I wouldn't think twice about it.
I tend to assume that if the machines are self-service, there's a presumption of free on-site refill. For example, Taco Cabana, Taco Bell, Taco Tote, Pepe's Chicken (yes, I eat a lot of Mexican food), Sam's and Costco are all places I frequent with self-service soda machines but none of them have signs that say "free refill". We routinely buy a soda on entering Costco or Sams, drink it as we shop, and refill it it as we leave. If I dine in at one of the taco places I get refills, and I sometimes drink part of my soda while waiting for food and then top it off when I leave. I have always believed that's the purpose of them, not to sell single cups of soda. If you have any doubts, ask before helping yourself. But I'd be very surprised if the answer was no.
@michaelkriss: If there's a sign saying otherwise then it's definitely not okay. The competition in my town for restaurants is ferocious, they open and close like revolving doors in some areas. Free chips and salsa with your meal, free refills on drinks, frequent customer cards are all ways they manage to hold onto their slim customer base. Restaurants that don't want customers taking refills put the fountains behind their counter, but they are really fairly rare. A restaurant with a sign like you describe in my town would not be in business long unless they had something really special to keep them in business.
Free refills is something I miss when I'm living overseas. It's something we definitely take for granted here in the states. Free refills and Dr Pepper at the same time can almost seem like heaven!
Has anyone else been seeing the Coca Cola Freestyle showing up? They put one in my local gas station as well as many fast food places. It's a good idea but the flavors are "off" to me.
Basically it's one box machine that allows you to have over 100 different soda options. I see people just stand there and taste test it wasting large volumes of it. I like Peach and I like Coke, but Peach Coke was kinda gross so I dumped it - I wonder how many others dump a full 32 oz each day?
@ryanwb: Apparently there's a pizza place near by me that has one of those. Now if I liked the pizza they had there it would be compelling enough to go check it out.
@ryanwb: Raspberry Diet Coke and Peach Sprite Zero are my favorites. All of the fruity flavor, no sugar.
I think this question is just a sneaky way of finding out which people eat gas station food.
@ryanwb: I have used that several times. I was in Vegas when they put it in the Coke store for testing and have used it at several locations. The theory is good, it uses less packaging for the syrup (from the giant bags to what looks like a printer cartriage) but occasionally the mixture can get a little off. (I was told it uses the same technology that hospitals use to measure dosage, but for some reason the Mello Yellow is never quite right.)
I had heard once growing up (in Oregon), that if the soda machine is in the dining area and self-serve, they are technically not allowed to charge for the refill.
I have no idea who told me this, if it's true, and I've never looked it up to see.
Personally I think if there is no sign and it is self serve, then I think it's safe to say that it is free refills during that visit to the establishment.
We have a Coca Cola Freestyle in our Fudruckers. I sat there and sampled almost every flavor they had. No, there was noone else there waiting for me, I made sure. Each location can also disable/enable flavors. I used one in an airport (can't remember where) and they had grape coke. The fudruckers one did not allow grape coke, but did allow grape Fanta. It was more because I think it would be terrible, just like peach coke, which I also disliked.
@pitamuffin: Sheetz food is so amazing, it is now put on highway signs for food. If you ever get a chance, do it because it really is that good.
I'm in the camp of "If there is no sign prohibiting refills at a self-service fountain, then it's allowed.". It just makes sense.
Yes. I take a drink. If I'm thirsty when I go in, I will fill my drink, drink some (or a lot, or a few times almost all of it), then refill. I only do that on the soda fountain. Frozen drinks have different rules. No extra top-offs on frozen stuff.
I think it's technically either Theft of Services or Theft by Taking. I also speed and take the tags off my mattress. Sometimes I litter by throwing my gum out the window of the car like when smokers flick their butts out the window.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is closing its Moscow office but said it is still interested in the Russian market.
The retailer said that it has been looking to enter the Russian market through an acquisition, but has not found a near-term opportunity so it does not need the Moscow office at this time.
"The Russian market is a compelling retail opportunity and we believe that Russian consumers could benefit from Walmart's value proposition," said Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart International. "Since we have decided to enter the market through acquisition, not greenfield development, and since there is no clear acquisition partner in the near term, there is not a business reason to continue our Moscow representative office. We will continue to pursue market entry opportunities."

The Top 10 Deadbeat Celebrity Relatives
#5. ROGER CLINTON (Deadbeat Brother of Former Pres. Bill Clinton)
If Bill Clinton is the best-case scenario for what an Arkansas good ol' boy can become, then his half-brother Roger is the worst-case scenario (Actually, he's probably more like the regular-case scenario, since we're talking about Arkansas). Either way, you'd think that a yearlong stint in federal prison for dealing cocaine in 1984 would be enough to scare him straight. Surprisingly, you'd be dead wrong. Although he (presumably) stopped slinging the yayo, Roger moved on to conspiring with the Mafia. According to TIME, the family of a Gambino crime family soldier handed a $50,000 check to one of Roger's companies in 1999, just months after Roger sought leniency from the U.S. Parole Commission for the mobster, who was serving a 45-year sentence for heroin trafficking. That's probably just a coincidence, though.
#4. DANIEL BALDWIN (Deadbeat Brother of Alec, William and Stephen Baldwin)
Beset by drug abuse problems for years, Daniel is the least successful of the Baldwin brothers. Unless, of course, you consider running naked through the halls of New York's The Plaza hotel a success-he's very good at that. So good, in fact, that the police came to watch in 1998-and then arrested him for cocaine possession. A slew of other embarrassments followed, including a July 2006 arrest for running a red light and crashing into two parked cars in L.A. In Baldwin's defense, however, he was going a remarkable 45 miles over the speed limit, which is technically pretty awesome. And, while Daniel has further shamed his three brothers by no-showing the season finale of Celebrity Fit Club and appearing in DVD-taint like 2004's Vegas Vampires, he redeemed himself somewhat by appearing on The Sopranos (although it was basically a joke at his expense).
#3. MICHAEL LOHAN (Deadbeat Father of Lindsay Lohan)
The man largely responsible for creating the lovely genital-flashing young firecrotch we know today served a four-year federal prison sentence for stock fraud when Lindsay was just 11. Apparently, he missed prison life-he returned in 2005 for a slew of ridiculous crimes, including attacking his brother-in-law with a shoe and ramming his car into a telephone pole whilst shit-sauced. There are also reports of other violent episodes, such as punching a New York City garbage man for blocking his car (You have to admit, that one's pretty sweet.). Now divorced and scrounging desperately for a share of his daughter's fortune, Michael Lohan can at least take solace in the fact that, hey, one time he totally knocked the shit out of some sanitation worker, and that's better than having a family that's not ashamed of you.
#2. IKE TURNER (Deadbeat Ex-Husband of Tina Turner)
It's largely believed that Ike Turner has been married 14 times (seriously), and while it's a lock that he's punched most-if not all-of his wives in the mouth for being uppity, Tina Turner is the most famous punchee. It's one thing to have a deadbeat relative who just embarrasses you before a performance (like Lindsay Lohan, for example), but it's quite another to have a deadbeat relative who very literally knocks five teeth outcho' head right before show time. And in addition to that most deadbeatish of traits, Ike's also lived through drug abuse, prison time, gambling problems and some questionable car crashes. Still, his most notable low-life move is derailing the talented-although very, very annoying-Tina's career/face.
#1. MICHAEL SKAKEL (Deadbeat Nephew of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy)
Much like his Uncle Robert's brother Ted, Michael Skakel killed an innocent young girl after a night of partying. But very unlike Ted, Skakel took said life on purpose, bludgeoning Martha Moxley to death with a six iron in 1975. This fat son of a bitch's relation to the Kennedy family helped him evade prosecution until 2002, when he was finally convicted of the crime. One of the most disturbing moments in the Skakel story-and the only genuinely funny one-came in 1991 when DNA testing became available to investigators. In a pathetic effort to explain possible traces of his DNA, Skakel claimed that he had been masturbating in a tree outside Martha's home on the night of the murder. You know, just normal guy stuff. Everybody masturbates in trees at night, right?

Unanswered: Html images load even if the Component is not added to the screen - Problem
I created a Carousel from scratch. So I manage completely my items. There is many reasons, but for now, this is not the problem.
We can add over 500 items to the carousel Class. The Carousel manage items so it adds the visible one the screen only to prevent a memory leak. Other items are not set to the HTML. So, each item is a separated Class that is a Container of Sencha. This way, it can be whatever inside.
My problem is that, even if the 500 items (Container) are not added to the HTML inside the Carousel, they exist in JavaScript and all their images loads. Big problem, because user may not want to view all items, but will load all items image and it takes bandwidth and memory.
Here is the item code :
Ext.define('CRIapp.view.ImgRecette', { extend: 'Ext.Container', xtype: 'imgRecette', config: { width: 845, height: 475, style: 'background-color: transparent;', items:[] }, /*------------------------------* * Function Declaration * *------------------------------*/ initSlide: function(id) { this.add(this.createLockScreen(id)); }, createLockScreen: function(id) { return {html: '

'}; } });
for(var i=0; i<500; i++) { var img = new CRIapp.view.ImgRecette(); img.initSlide(i); }
Any solution?
Thanks in advanced

In an effort to insure that Antique Village can continue to grow and improve, while keeping this 10-day event free, there will be a great and unique selection of quality hand crafted items available again this year at this popular one-of-a-kind raffle.
One of the several items featured will be a beautiful coffee table that started as a limb from a tree that had to be cut down. Made from a slab of rustic pine, donated by Scott and Karen Leak, with craftsmanship donated by Larry Leak and Sayers Lumber, the next step was to contact the Grand Valley Woodcarvers Club. Graciously they accepted the challenge of making this table "the talk of the town." As a club project, several members spent over a 100 hours doing inch-by-inch tedious woodburning, bringing this table to life.
The Grand Valley Woodcarving Club was formed over 20 years ago and believes that everyone has the potential to learn the dying art form of wood carving. They meet the first and third Monday of each month at the Ionia Middle School when school is in session. For all that are interested, from the curious beginners to experienced wood carvers, children to adults, all are welcome. For more information please contact Bud Ross at 616-761-3216.
The Grand Valley Woodcarving Club will be demonstrating their skills at the Ionia Free Fair in Antique Village from 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, July 26. They will also be demonstrating Saturday Sept. 21, at Fall Fest held at Bertha Brock Park
Without the efforts of many, who donate their time and talents, this yearly Antique Village raffle would not be possible. Other community members who have donated items in this raffle, include Pam Cowling, Jon Gazella , Roxanne Nelson, Pauline Smith and as a club project, the Bale Breakers 4-H Club members Gracie Koetje, Lauralee Burrus, Riley Eegers, Miah McCaull and 'Pang' from Thailand.
For the "young and young at heart," Antique Village invites you to enjoy the nostalgia of days gone by, with their free mini museum, demonstrations, entertainment and events. They are located in the Floral Building on the south side of the Midway, and open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, July 18-27.

2.0.0.000311 - launch in controller
What is the purpose of having 'launch' menuitem in dropdown when viewing controller code because if I write there code it is not executed and I should add Basic Function with the name 'onLaunch' to run my code.
Also when I add 'onLaunch' function to controller I get red exclamation mark to the right of the function in project inspector saying: 'This function is overriding a member', but here is it said that 'Feel free to override it in child classes'.

You can easily recreate the issue: start new Ext JS 4 project, define settings, dragndrop controller, switch to code, select launch from dropdown, write console.log('MyController launch'), save, deploy and run in browser: I have no message in firebug...

Hey guys, My WordPress permalink structure is set to `/%postname%/.
When I create a page with a name "FAQs" the permalink generated is "mydomain.com/faqs".
When I link to this page in my code (hardcoded) like this...
<a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/faqs#b" title="FAQ's">FAQs (pay attention to the #b hash at the end)
...wordpress somehow automatically notices that there is a page
/faqs and replaces
/faqs#b just with
/faqs (without the hash).
Is there a chance I can write a kind of exception to my .htaccess file so WordPress doesn't do that?
Any idea how I could make that work?

Why do religious people find it hard to accept that you don't need religion to have a good moral code? [closed]
closed as not constructive by Narnian, Alypius, Andrew, Greg, Affable Geek Feb 26 '13 at 23:10
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Its not necessary for a person to have a religion to have good moral codes.
Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) was a Babylonian King who gave one of the First Law in the World. The law was very similar the Mosaic Law, "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth".
Every human is given the ability to decide what is right and wrong. Even the murderers kill others knowing that it is bad, but they just don't care.
Many religions give the idea that doing good deeds is the way to Heaven and doing bad things will lead you to Hell. Thus promoting the idea of
Christianity has a different concept. The Bible teaches us the idea of
Your good deeds will not open the gates of Heaven. Your bad deeds are also not the main reason why you should go to Hell. But Christians should do good deeds because we are saved by grace. Christians are called to be Holy, because God is Holy.
Christ died for our sins. He took all our punishment on the cross. When we remember how much God had done for us, we recieve the power to overcome sin and reflect Christ-like character.
I have not heard any Christian claim this in any academic setting. The most Christians usually say about morality in this context is that without a transcendent law giver no absolute morality can be derived and that without one we are left with either a regress into subjectivity or a complete denial of morality. Or in other words if God is dead than all questions of morality die with it.
None of which has any bearing on whether any specific person is morally good or not. Their may have been some random Christian lay man who thinks this but I really doubt that any person who defends Biblical morality in the public square would ever claim such a thing.
Because "good" is either a transcendent qualifier or a personal one. If it is a personal one, then it becomes meaningless, as everyone would be perfectly "good" by their own personal moral codes. If, on the other hand, it is a transcendent one, then that "good" is measured against a higher standard.
The contention is that without religion, people don't really have a true basis for identifying "good" in the first place. This is often misunderstood as a contention that irreligious people can't be "good," but that's a misunderstanding; Most people would happily agree that irreligious people happen to be pretty "good" oftentimes, but it's almost in spite of themselves (and that's the point). The give-away is that when trying to establish how "good" they are, irreligious people tend to appeal to arbitrary standard with a certain odd dogma that their views don't justify.
For example, I might say I'm good because I'm faithful to my wife, or I haven't killed any one, or I give to charity, etc....but all these things are arbitrary, and none of them are inherently "good" if one rejects all manner of transcendent moral rule.
Incidentally, different cultures and sub-cultures have held such traits (as the ones that make me "good") with different levels of esteem and contempt, so even if someone appeals to something vague like "society," we still run into a problem that all societies, then, are on equal footing in terms of morality: by definition, they'd all be perfectly moral. Without a standard that's higher still then there's no way to judge one society (or, maybe, more specifically one of a particular society's tenets) as more moral than another.
I know this is more of an argument than an answer, but the question that you asked is based more on stereotype than mainstream belief within the church. I don't blame you because it's actually very common, especially in an age like today where the one-in-a-million weirdo can actually be heard by millions online.
Though you might not be interested in Scripture, the following is some of the most important verses concerning sin. It was written by a man named Paul that is respected as one of the most important people in the new testament. Paul was noted in the bible to have been one of the biggest persecutors of Christians - it is said that he was likely involved in the killings of many Christians before his conversion.
Romans 7:14 says:
He is admitting that he is a sinner (not to be saved -he had already found salvation -but to hold himself accountable) and that he doesn't always do the right things that he knows is required of him, and that he often does that which is wrong even though he doesn't want to (presumably wants to at the time, but doesn't want to do such things in general). This is the testimony of a true Christian -an actual right hand man of Jesus, like few (if any) from his time on could ever claim.
I really actually know very few Christians who think like this. At most they would argue that any moral code without religious implications is ultimately egoist. This would be to say that moral decisions that seem altruist or selfless are actually, even in a roundabout way, self-serving. This is more philosophical, though, and really any more discussion on egoism and the argument that all ethical code is egoist is beyond the scope of this site.
My selected answer on this related question sums up why one might argue that you cannot be good without God. Basically, to the Christian, God defines good, not you. If he is not there to define it then you would simply define it for yourself making it a code you approve of, likely because it is easy for you to follow. Now everyone else has their own code too, therefore, good and morality become completely subjective and have no bearing on the whole. Therefore, no one is absolutely good; they are only subjectively good, which may or may not overlap with others.
Now if you get a group of like minded persons together and they all agree 'this' is what is good you still have the same issue. That group has no more right then anyone else to make moral laws and decrees, therefore, to one who objects, it is not valid, whether the group can enforce it or not.
Ultimately, the Christian who argues this must argue that because God is the creator (owner) and has the power to enforce His decrees He is the only one just to make those decrees. This combined with the 'subjective good' issue laid out above makes the argument very convincing.
This is not to say though that a Christian who thinks this thinks the world would fall into oblivion without God. That is really just opinion and conjecture.

I am currently on Galaxy Nexus which is an awesome phone (esp. without Samsung s/w crap) except for it's sucker of a battery. It doesn't even see me through 12 hours or full office (9-10) hours. So, I am planning to switch to iPhone and also because I want to get into iOS dev.
What about heating and crashes etc?
That's pretty much it. So, how much do you think a full charge should last. I do not plan to carry around a spare battery or even a charger. Well, I might have a charger but let's say I do not.

Don't wait to get thirsty: keep a water bottle close by and drink before, during, and after your workouts to ensure that you and your baby are adequately hydrated.
When it comes to selecting the type of exercise, every woman is different. One woman might be perfectly okay with modifying her usual sport (for instance, a runner might continue to jog at a slower pace), but other women are uncomfortable with the jarring and jolting on the joints—especially in the last trimester, when weight begins to climb. Think about switching to gentler activities, such as walking instead of running, swimming instead of high-impact aerobics, or pedaling on a stationary bike.
Some of the great things about walking include that there's no crashing impact, you can select your own pace and distance, you get quality "think time" (a precious commodity after the baby arrives), and you can do it just about anywhere. For some fresh air, go for a trek around the neighborhood or hit a scenic trail. If the weather doesn't suit you, try a treadmill or wander about your local shopping mall. Anything goes; just remember these key points:
Reduce your risk for injury by avoiding activities that require a lot of balance and coordination because as your body shifts, so does your center of gravity due to your enlarged belly, breasts, and uterus. Back off from things that might land you on the ground: skiing, horseback riding, biking, and skating. Avoid sports that involve sharp, jerky movements such as swinging a tennis racket, volleyball, bowling, and so on.

As President Bush declared October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Senate defeated an amendment that would have increased the research budget of the National Institute of Health (NIH).
"During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we raise awareness of this deadly disease, encourage early detection, and support research to find a cure," Bush Proclaimed for the Oval Office of the White House. Only three weeks earlier, the Senate voted down the Specter-Harkin-Feinstein Amendment to S.1356 to increase by $1.5 billion the funds to be appropriated for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in FY 2004.
The Amendment, which needed sixty votes to pass, would have increased funding, primarily for research, in the hope of finding cures for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other ailments.
"These diseases of mass destruction are responsible for about 1.5 million American deaths every year, more than the number of all American lives lost in every war from the time of the Revolution to the present," explained Dr. Debakey, Chancellor Emeritus of Baylor College of Medicine. "It would be tragic if the Specter-Harkin-Feinstein amendment to the Senate Labor/Health and Human Services Bill received less than full bipartisan support."
Forty-three Senators voted against the amendment, which was subsequently defeated.
In a time of war, recession, and budget deficits, the war on breast cancer has been largely ignored. President Bush has only signed one cancer-prevention bill into law, and neither he nor Senator Kerry have mentioned fighting cancer on the campaign trail.
Meanwhile the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the nation's largest private funding source for breast cancer research and community outreach programs, will spend the month of October advocating an increase of cancer awareness among politicians.
"With the elections fast approaching, we have a special opportunity to put breast cancer on the national agenda," said Diane L. Balma, the Komen Foundation's director of public policy. "W e are asking citizens to seize this opportunity and ask their candidates where they stand on this critical issue to public health."
Despite the lack of support for the NIH funding increase, President Bush used his proclamation to tout the accomplishments, which have been made.
Said Bush, "The National Institute of Health has invested an estimated $700 million this year alone on breast cancer research and will spend more next year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has devoted over $200 million this year and more next year for an early detection program that promotes mammograms and helps low-income women afford screenings for breast and cervical cancer. The Department of Defense also invested approximately $150 million for its Breast Cancer Research program in 2004."
As the month goes on, The Komen Foundation is continuing to encourage activism on the issue, and has set up a public website at www.ActNowEndBreastCancer.org.
"Together with health care professionals, researchers, and family members," President Bush concluded, "we can improve the lives of those suffering from this disease and win the fight against breast cancer."

Which skill combos of which professions can reliably achieve an effectively permanent swiftness boon through slot and weapon skills, without chance skills or traits? If there is none, which combos have the highest percentual swiftness duration per cycle?
Elementalists have several ways to maintain 100% Swiftness uptime.
One is to put 20 trait points into Air Magic and select the Quick Glyphs and Inscription traits. This will make the Swiftness granted by your Glyph of Elemental Harmony last as long as the skill's recast time.
Staff Elementalists can combine Glyph of Elemental Harmony, Windborne Speed, and Static Field+Arcane Wave (Lightning/Blast combo). This works regardless of what traits you pick, but you do need to carry Arcane Wave for the blast finisher.
Dagger/Dagger Elementalists can combine Glyph of Elemental Harmony with the Zephyr's Boon trait in Air Magic and their Frost Aura and Shocking Aura skills, as well as Ride the Lightning and Updraft. As an added bonus, 5 points in Air Magic lets you move 10% faster when attuned to Air.
The Speedy Kits trait grants Swiftness when changing kits.
All you have to do, besides having the trait, is keep on changing kits in order to keep your Swiftness up. You will need at least 1 kit skill in a utility slot in order to actually equip it. You can equip/unequip/equip the same kit to keep the swiftness flowing.
Staff Guardians can use Symbol of Swiftness, which grants 8 seconds of Swiftness with a 15 second cooldown. For utilities, you can use Retreat (20 seconds swiftness) and Save Yourselves (10 seconds swiftness). Using a single cycle of those skills together will provide a total of 38 seconds of Swiftness.
I believe warriors can achieve permanent swiftness with the warhorn skill charge (10 s, 20 cooldown) and the elite Signet of Rage (30 s, 60 s cooldown).
To expand on Engineers (PvP specifically), I've been running a PvP build that focuses on maintaining swiftness and have enjoyed it:
Key points:
In a PvP setting, I prefer to not be caught off guard while switching kits, but for perma swiftness agnostic of combat effectiveness it is a viable option.

In The Karate Kid, his first lesson is cleaning and waxing his masters car. His master tells him to "wax on, wax off". Is the purpose of this simply to teach him the value of hard work?
Mr. Miagi's shows him all the specific task he had been doing and how they transferred into karate. At the end of the transfer of learning phase of his training Daniel is amazed at what he had "learned" when he thought he was just doing everyday tasks.
An odd form of training passed off by an unorthodox master on a skeptical student. Sometimes comes disguised as a set of chores, but just as often is a general exercise that promotes a valuable physical or mental attribute in a strange way. Always dismissed as a waste of time early on, and appreciated later. Often this also serves as a lesson to the skeptical student to trust the master and do all the crazy things the master asks without questioning, by demonstrating that the master really knows what he's doing and is in fact effectively teaching the student.
It can be considered also a life lesson, and you can read more about it in this nice blog post over on a China travel site. It's like your childhood. When you're young you always complain with your parents for being so severe, but only when you're an adult you fully understand that your parents acted like that because they wanted you to become an educated person.
Originally it's from the movie The Karate Kid(1984) starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita and the phrase has been adapted to the remake too .
Pat Morita was supposed to be teaching Mr. Macchio karate, but all summer the karate master had the kid just painting stuff and waxing his car. However, the painting and waxing techniques were secretly teaching his muscles karate moves, and when the karate lessons actually began, he found it relatively easy to learn. This technique is known as the Kagite uke or circle block. It is a very effective block that provides a good lead in for follow on techniques.
I think,the purpose of "wax on, wax off" would be not to to teach him the value of hardwork,but to teach him the basic karate movement and make him understand mastery in karate is a long-term journey.
I don't think the purpose was simply to learn the muscle movements for defense. With the struggle of teaching, I think Myagi was also teaching the boy to trust him. Trust isn't something Daniel was very familiar with, and developing a trusting relationship with Myagi, as we see later, leads to better things.
The remake actually provides some clarity on the matter. In either Karate or Kung Fu, there is a recurring theme of "excellence in everything you do, no matter how mundane". The underlying thread in this concept is meditation - a truly enlightened mind is meditating all of the time. Martial artists, seeing their art as a meditation, find practice in everything they do. This is the deeper significance to disguising technique as chores.

I need a camera that deals with low light situations, various people using the camera and some who move it. I need a camera that has the ability to forgive many nonprofessional photographing tendencies. What should I look for? My budget is limited ($500).
OK... so as others have said, it really is a topic that changes, but I'll try to write up an answer that is general enough to last a few years - or at least months.
The problem:
A compact camera "system" that is accessible to non-professionals and professionals alike to photograph under a variety of conditions, including amongst them bad light.
Step 1:
1) Entry level compact.
2) Mid level compact.
3) High end compact.
4) Micro 4/3
Excluded as not compact:
5) SLR camera systems
Step 2:
This leaves two remaining classes of cameras to consider:
3) The high end compact camera.
4) The micro four thirds system.
As other posters have pointed out, exact model names change frequently, hence it is important that the aspiring buyer investigated the current offerings in the listed segment. This can be done using many review sites, of which one is found at: http://www.dpreview.com/
More specifics would help understand your requirements better, but I'll take a stab anyway. Low light conditions would require a camera with a large sensor, which takes you into DSLR/MILC territory.
Based on the specified price and ability to shoot in low light conditions, I would recommend the following models:
Nikon D5100
Sony NEX-5N
However, please remember that ILCs like DSLRs and MILCs require more proficiency to get good results than compact cameras. So, there may be a problem with the forgiving "non-professional photographing tendencies" part.
I would suggest you go to a store and get a feel of both these cameras before making any decision.

I'm not even sure how to phrase the question properly, so let me paint a scenario. In addition to your answers, any suggestions for how I could have better asked the question would be appreciated. In a nutshell my question is "how does one properly use the word 'by' for nested descriptions?"
I'm just some guy who works for some company. At this company, our software peeps make these neat reports for our business peeps.
For example, we might have a report called "Sales by Day" that looks like:
Sales by Day Report -------------------- Monday.......$100.00 Tuesday......$200.00 Wednesday....$450.00 Thursday.....$250.00 Friday.......$120.00
Another report may be Sales by Store (for all time), which looks like:
Sales by Store Report ---------------------------- San Diego.........$10,000.00 Boston............$30,000.00 Salt Lake City....$25,000.00 Gotham............$45,000.00
Now, if want to show a breakdown per store mixed with per day, as in the following example, which title would be correct and why?
Sales By Store By Day or Sales By Day By Store ---------------------------------------------- San Diego Monday......$20.00 Tuesday.....$25.00 Boston Monday......$35.00 Tuesday.....$45.00 etc....

Members of Leavenworth County Fire District No. 1 responded to two fires involving chimneys and fireplaces in one day, a fire department official said.
No injuries were reported.
The first fire was reported at 2:20 p.m. Saturday at 26381 187th St.
A woman at this residence apparently had recently paid someone to clean her chimney. However, Rick Huhn, chief of Fire District No. 1, said it appears the person hired didn't clean the chimney. The chief said the chimney looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in years.
He said a substance called creosote can build up in a chimney as a fireplace is used. That substance can catch on fire.
"It's just carbon ready to burn," he said.
Huhn said the fire on 187th Street was contained to the chimney but it caused smoke to fill up the house.
The second fire was reported 10:40 p.m. Saturday at 825 Englewood St. in Lansing. Huhn said it appears someone had put too much wood in a fireplace. The fire got so hot it broke a glass door to the fireplace and smoke began to pour out of the fireplace.

In some dance songs, there are sound bites used before the break (drop). Do sound bites fall under fair use, or does a producer need permission to use them legally?

This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
You are required to gain clearance, otherwise the owner of that sample could demand payment from you.
From this useful article on emusician.com:
Another option would be to ask those artists where they found those royalty-free samples. Though there are sample collections that are sold on CD or DVD, there are also repositories of sound bites and samples that are in the public domain. One excellent source is the Prelinger Archives. Another is freesound.org.
