Chinese army unit 61398, also known as "Comment Crew," has been identified as most probably responsible for numerous cyberattacks on U.S. targets, security company Mandiant has alleged in a report. While Mandiant didn't name specific targets, victims include Coca Cola (KO) - when it was trying to acquire Chinese company Huiyuan Juice Group for $2.4B - and VMware's (VMW) RSA, as well as a firm with access to over 60% of oil and gas pipelines in North America.

The factory just maybe 50 meters from the complex I lived at was producing missile casings and other major arms. Often the military armaments needed to be parked on the street (think of the October 1st parade in Beijing).
Cn UK Embassy Response
From Ms Dai Qingli.
Sir, I am writing with regard to your report "US goes public with spying frustrations" (November 4) playing up the "China threat" in cyberspace. In fact, this is just the latest example of cyber-related China-bashing by some in western countries, including Britain. These allegations are totally baseless.
Dai Qingli, Spokesman, Chinese Embassy in the UK
Chinese hackers said to wage cyberwar on The New York Times
Unusual activity was seen in the paper's computer systems during a probe on China's prime minister. The Times then discovered that the corporate passwords for every employee had been stolen.
While China has long been suspected of cyber spying, on May 24, 2011 the People's Liberation Army announced the existence of their cyber security squad.[13]
^ Beech, Hannah. "Meet China's Newest Soldiers: An Online Blue Army." Time Magazine, May 27, 2011.
We have already had legislation passed that equated cyber attacks with a declaration of war, the question is when, not if, more aggressive action will be taken by the US.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and I have the following question. On my WP-site I am trying to implement an event calendar, and I'm specifically looking for a widget. I've been searching through most of the plugins available and I can't decide which one to use.
I've been testing the Localendar plugin but that one uses a separate website for you to post your events. I'd like to do that through my administration page in wordpress.
A lot of the widgets available has a hover effect when you place the cursor on a date in the calendar. Is there any widget that does not use the hover effect, and instead uses a simple hyperlink? I want to click on a date and be sent to the event post, the same way as if I click on a blog post link.
Also, I want the widget to be fully customizable so I can style it with CSS.
What event calendar to you recommend me to use?

A typical English Teacher way of thinking. Kids See Things Differently Than Adults. Added on Mar 31, 2011 / Category : Misc / 25 Comments If you are a parent, you have most likely smiled more than once while thinking about how your child views the world.
I think it's safe to say that kids look at things a lot differently than us grown-ups. Jeff Wysaski knows all about how kids view things differently than adults.

This is For My Friends. Congress Passes CALM ACT - Limits TV Commercial Volume Level. So it seems Congress has finally solved one of life's little annoyances, super loud commercials that interrupt our TV programs!
This has bothered people for decades, your watching a program and then all of a sudden some infomercial guy is yelling at you at three times the volume of the previous program. The CALM Act, Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation has already passed in the Senate and the House of Representatives and is just waiting for Obama's signature. The Act prevents commercials from being louder than the programs they interrupt, and the FCC will be charged with regulating and enforcing the policy.

Protest full-body airport scans with 4th Amendment underclothes. The full-body scanners currently in use across airports are seen as an invasion of privacy, and possibly a health hazard too.
You can opt for a pat down instead, but new rules with those means they can be quite intrusive. So rather than opting out, why not protest while your scan is being carried out? You can do so by wearing some 4th Amendment underclothes. It's a simple yet effective idea. Print the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution in metallic ink on a shirt or underwear. The message on underwear can be the same or something is a little less subtle, but just as informative: It looks as though stock is limited through supplier 4th Amendment Wear , but these are sure to be popular with travelers not happy with these intrusive scans.
World much stupider than returning soldier remembered [TSA] If you ever needed proof that we are lost in a sea of pointless rules designed to make traveling (and indeed life in general) more difficult than it ever needed to be, this is it.
The eminent minds at TSA saw fit to confiscate an armed soldier's nail clippers because he might use them to take over the plane. At this point I would like to point out that he was not armed with nail clippers, he was armed with an assault rifle – which was apparently acceptable because it didn't have bullets. The icing on the cake, swabbing all of the soldiers returning from a war-zone for explosives residue… of course they all failed – but not as hard as the guy who kept swabbing.

I don't seem to be able to find a total amount of data I have stored in Amazon S3.
Total per bucket is okay, entire total also, and both would be best.
Go to aws.amazon.com and click Account > Usage Reports
After signing in, select Amazon Simple Storage Service from the Service drop down and then select TimedStorage-ByteHrs from the Usage Types drop down. Select the period of time you want to be reported and use the buttons at the bottom to download the report.
The usage report gives a storage total for each bucket and each day, which is necessary to bill properly for additions and deletions. If all you need is the current total, just select a custom date range that includes only yesterday. If you download in CSV format it should be an easy matter to open the file in a spreadsheet application and sum the storage totals for all the buckets.
Here's my HowTo explaining how to parse S3 Usage Report using bash one liner to get readable results.
Why can't you use your bill to get that number ? Is that not what shows up in the detail section of the Amazon Simple Storage Service TimedSTorage-ByteHrs section? It breaks it down by total size of stored object (<1TB, 1-50TB, 50+ ...et.c.) but you can do simple math then.
An awesome solution is to use S3Stat solution which provides very nice reports and not free, but affordable.

Hi All,
Technically this is a bit unrelated to WP specifically so my apologies.
I would like to take the RSS feeds from my blogs at http://www.agents.hometownquotes.com/weblog and http://www.hometownquotes.com/blog and add them to other pages on site.
Any suggestions on how to do this are greatly appreciated. I would prefer to do it without having it run through another service (i.e. feedroll).
Thanks in advance!

Poor customer service, repeatedly. Very disappointed and will NEVER buy ANYTHING from this retailer ever again!
"Basically I ordered an item from this company, they took payment, and I never received the item...
In May if 2015 I purchased an item off their web site. I received an email confirmation and a couple days later I noticed that they had taken the money from may account for payment. Great, I figured the item was on its way as it states in their terms that they wont take your money until the item is ready to ship.
I wait a month without receiving anything and call their customer service - which is absolutely horrible. They were totally unhelpful as the only thing they could tell me is that the item had not shipped yet. I already knew this...
Long story short, I ordered this item in May 2015 and it is now February 2016 and still have not received it. I canceled the order after their inept customer service first told me that the item was discontinued - a lie as the manufacturers web site still lists it in their current catalog and are still paying to advertise it. They then told me it was back-ordered indefinitely. Meanwhile all this time they were still selling this item on Andys web site with no mention of delays or back-orders...in addition to the fact that countless other vendors across the 'net are selling this item as well. WTF?
This is a poorly run company. If you value your money and your time, shop elsewhere. This is my warning to all. If I had more than 5000 characters I could elaborate more as to the full extent of their ineptness."
"terrible... ordered a hood and it came in wrong hood and damaged from the vendor then andys is trying to fight with me telling me thats what I ordered after sending them pictures of my receipt and of the hood. I should have read the reviews before buying they suck!!!"
"Don't order from these guys. I ordered a body kit and done a test fit on the front bumper. Of course, mounting holes have to be drilled to test fit before spending $ on paint. The bumper was not even close to fitting. I have been trying to talk to someone at andy's for over a week now. I have left messages, been put on hold for extended time and just hung up on after waiting. I have emailed many times. I have got two emails that said that if the part is altered, they can't take it back. IT DON'T FIT! I can't use it but I can't return it. I guess I'm the loser. "
"Product was cheap af!
Broke well I was driving.
"I will never order from Andy's Auto Sport again. I ordered a custom creations hood for my 2011 ram 1500. Full price of the hood was $880 i thought it was a good deal. the hood took no time for delivery, the only thing was that the hood did not fit my pickup, i personally installed it, realized the gapping was completely off, the hood had waves in it and if you sprayed water on it it would pool on the hood. Thinking i made a mistake in the installation i brought it to my local body shop, where the owner himself said the hood was wrong, and poorly constructed. i called "john" at andy's auto body, he initially answered all my questions, then never spoke with me over the phone again, he would only email me. he asked for photos which i took and sent, he then said the photos were not good enough to prove it was faulty. after two weeks of battling with them they finally gave me a return ship address. They also informed me that if the hood was not faulty, which it was, that they would charge me shipping both ways and a 15% restocking fee. Today i awoke to an email, of a refund from Andy's Auto Sports for the amount of $672.38. only $216 dollars short of what i paid them for a junk hood. They will not hear the end from me. This is unacceptable. They have the single worst customer service program i've ever seen. "
"i ordered domw light bulbs for my 2004 cavalier they were fair priced but however i had to pay 15 dollars on shipping and the bulbs were only like 11 dollars i think that is way to much, why would the shipping cost exceed the cost of the product i understand they are glass but wow."
"I placed my original order on a Friday evening around 7:00pm EST. I got a confirmation email right away with a quote number. I didn't think anything about it until Monday and still no charge to my CC. I emailed them on Monday asking what was going on. The responded to me on Tuesday that if I would give them my payment information they would be happy to take care of my order. So why did I fill out that information on the online order form? So I called them on Tuesday and finalized the sale. I was told that my lights should ship out the next day. On Friday morning at 1:22 am I get an email saying my lights had shipped and I could track them using this tracking number. There was no tracking number. So I called and was told that their supplier had shipped them to me on Thursday and Andy's did not have a tracking number. I was told that they would email the supplier and then email me the tracking number. I was told that I should be happy that it is going as fast as it is....
At this point I am wondering why I went through them."
"bulbs for third break light i purchased didn't fit my truck.
After speaking with customer service I was told thats the only ones they have for my truck. I would have had to bend the metal connectors to make them work. Not going to do that.
I took pictures and sent them to try and help customer service solve the problem, but it was never really resolved. Too much aggravation to keep dealing with it."
"Ordered teins for honda. Sales rep emailed me till I received them. Great company . I will continue business with theM. Ctwatchdogs.com is full of crap. I tried to leave the andys auto sport a good review and they totally disregarded it. I won't turn to them for any reliable info in the future . They are drama fueled . Change your ways ct. And no andys auto sport didn't ask me to write this review. They earned this review. "
"the purchase was very good as was a purchase by phone and the person who helped me was very friendly. I will continue buying more things that have a lot to my car. and I am recommending to my friends .thanks"
"Despite telling them my make and model of car, they sent me the wrong part. After spending 3 hours trying to install it and failing, I also have a time investment lost.
All they had to do was look at the info I gave on the order form and send me the right part. Now I don't know if I can return the part for the right one. "
"The kit arrived with a crack in the rear bumper, I'm unsure if it was done during delivery, as the box was not damaged. We were on our way out of town when package finally arrived. It was my Christmas gift to my husband, 3-4 weeks to arrive. The fiberglass distribution is thin where it should be thick and vice versa. It needs a lot of modifications to fit our vehicle, other than that, i guess it will quite a learning experience.
Marcus K"
"I am very unhappy with andys auto sports I ordered A set of Spyder led tail lights only to find one was faulty an they wont answer my emails Very unhappy with Spyder also with no contact address tony . Up Date Up Date Andy s Manager Eric Has been Great, They are sending a return mail all the way to Australia for me to return the tail lights and send me a new set. Now this is customer service. a Big thank you to Eric and his team at Andys autosports. Cheers tony from down under"
"Still trying to get the correct part sent to me.. was sent the wrong intake with another customers confirmation included in the box.. The first email to the company got a prompt response, now I am waiting since Feb 18 for a reply on when I will get the correct part.. hopefully this is going to be resolved soon."
"All parts arrived quickly and in good shape. Would recommend to anyone."

Critical Rating: AA

Sindee prefers to lay on her back and be porked than to really initiate any action. The alleged "gangbang" is actually comprised of only three men to the girl. After one guy lets go an unimpressive pop shot, he simply gets replaced like a factory worker on the GM assembly line.
Ron Jeremy, looking positively svelte next to Sindee, is one of the few performers who can maintain a constant woody.

Abengoa Drops Sinar Mas as Supplier on Sustainability
Abengoa SA, a Spanish energy company, said today it won't buy palm oil from Sinar Mas Group until the Indonesian producer complies with its sustainability policies.
Abengoa joins Nestle SA, the world's biggest food maker, and Unilever NV in ruling out purchases from Sinar Mas, Indonesia's biggest palm oil producer. That follows an April 2008 report by the environmental group Greenpeace that said Sinar Mas destroyed rainforest, causing global-warming emissions and hurting the habitat of the endangered orangutan.
Indonesia is the largest palm oil producer. Abengoa's biofuels unit asked its raw materials providers to exclude palm oil from any unit of the Sinar Mas group, the company said in an e-mailed statement. All of Abengoa's suppliers must measure their greenhouse-gas emissions or promise to do so within an agreed time span, it said.
"The measure will be in place until Sinar Mas can demonstrate that it complies fully with the social environmental sustainability policies pursued by Abengoa," the Seville, Spain-based company said.
"We reaffirm our commitment not to develop on peat lands and primary forests as well as to conserve biodiversity," Daud Dharsono, president director of PT Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology, a plantation unit, wrote today in an e-mail response to questions from Bloomberg.
"We will get in touch with Abengoa SA to address their concerns and share with them our sustainability practices," Dharsono said.
The Indonesian company's unit, known as SMART, said April 1 that it's appointed two bodies, Control Union Certification and the BSI Group, to investigate the Greenpeace claims. The review is scheduled to take three months from its April 20 start date.
The Indonesia Palm Oil Association has called the decisions by Nestle and Unilever to halt purchases unfair. Cargill Inc., the largest U.S. agricultural company, has also said it may stop doing business with the company if the claims are correct and it takes no action.

Local gas prices dip below $3 per gallon briefly
Published: Friday, October 26, 2012 at 8:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 26, 2012 at 8:16 p.m.
Local drivers who stopped to fill their tanks Friday morning might have witnessed a most welcome sight — gas prices below $3.
The pump price for a gallon of regular fuel briefly dropped to $2.99 per gallon at several stations across Spartanburg County during the morning, but had mostly inched up about 6 cents by late afternoon.
Prices in the county have fallen from an average of $3.43 per gallon a month ago to $3.15 per gallon on Friday, according to the fuel price tracking website Gasbuddy.com. The average price was $3.14 for the same day last year.
Even with Hurricane Sandy barreling toward the Northeast and threatening to send prices climbing again, area customers said they were enjoying a brief reprieve from financial pangs.
"I am so happy to see them going down," said Linda Smith of Spartanburg. "It can put a hurting on your budget. I usually fill up once a week and just forget about it instead of having to worry about it day to day … I would like to be able to buy more things for my grandkids. Hopefully, (gas prices) will continue to come down."
On Wednesday, AAA Carolinas reported that the average gas price in South Carolina had its greatest one-week decline since 2008. But pump prices continue to remain higher than they were a year ago.
"The price drop is great news for drivers," said David Parsons, president and CEO of the travel agency, in a statement. "However, the nature of gas pricing today mostly depends on issues outside the U.S., like armed conflicts in oil-producing nations, the dollar's value against the euro and the demand for oil in developing countries like China, India and Brazil."
The national average fell to $3.58 per gallon on Friday, down from $3.80 a month ago, according to Gasbuddy.com.
Some have speculated that the drop in prices is being driven by the upcoming presidential election.
But Mike Thornbrugh, spokesman for Tulsa, Okla.-based convenience store chain QuikTrip, said prices are falling because supplies are high and demand is low. He said winter blends, which are more cost-effective to produce, have started hitting the market and are lowering prices.
"When you get out of summer blends, (refineries) can produce a lot more gasoline stock from crude oil, so it does drive the price down," Thornbrugh said. "For summer blends, the rules are so stringent. It takes a lot more crude to produce summer blends."
He said he expects prices to continue to trend down for the next few months, but that depends on the impact from Hurricane Sandy.

Hot Rod
- Studio: Paramount Pictures
- Release Date: Aug 3, 2007
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Hot Rod is a cousin to the comedies of Will Ferrell (for whom it was developed) with a younger skew, a kooky '80s nostalgia (complete with a pitch-perfect synthesizer score by Trevor Rabin) and a low-key amiability that keeps you rooting for Rod and company to triumph.
Rod is played by Andy Samberg from "Saturday Night Live," who on the basis of this film, I think, could become a very big star.
For connoisseurs of stupidity, Hot Rod is that perfect delicacy: A silly movie about ridiculous characters that's also actually funny. Hilarious, even.
The fantasy here – dubious as life choices go, but great for a 90-minute comedy – is that you can stay 16 forever.
Hot Rod keeps a sweet tone that's filled with affection for its characters, and enough laughs to become this summer's most mildly recommendable comedy.
If the movie weren't so playfully dumb -- did you ever think you'd see Ian McShane throw Andy Samberg through a basement shelving unit? -- this would be exasperating.
In what universe would you expect to see Andy Samberg, Ian McShane and Sissy Spacek in the same movie? You have to give the makers of Hot Rod credit for creative and unlikely casting. But the credit pretty much ends there.
An inferior "Napoleon Dynamite." Call it Napoleon Firecracker. The film steals one of the best laughs of Jon Heder's surprise 2004 hit, the scene where Napoleon nosedives over a bicycle jump, and stretches the gag into an 86-minute movie.
Samberg can't carry this, though director Akiva Schaffer supplies some hilarious, "Jackass"-style wipeouts and there are nice supporting turns from Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) as Rod's love interest and Bill Hader as one of his goofball friends.
Unfortunately, the gags start to wear thin shortly around the 15-minute mark, not to mention the fact that they pale in comparison to the real-life indignities endured by the members of the "Jackass" crew.
Only fitfully amusing. More often, it feels like a mediocre attempt to reprise the central elements of the infinitely funnier "Napoleon Dynamite."
Those hoping for feature-length doses of Samberg's "Lazy Sunday" wit will have to settle for just plain lazy, as Hot Rod aims low and still manages to miss its target.
Like so many movies from the SNL factory, there are perhaps 10 to 15 minutes of good, gag-worthy material here stretched out to interminable lengths. Or to put it another way: It's a very small dick in an oversized box.
In fairness, the new movie from the Lorne Michaels machine does have its amusing moments. It's just most of them can also be found in "Napoleon," "Talladega Nights," "Eagle vs. Shark," and any installment of "Jackass."
Hot Rod might be called the poor man's "Eagle vs. Shark" if "Eagle vs. Shark" were not already the poor man's "Napoleon Dynamite." It certainly lacks the conceptual purity and aesthetic integrity of the "Jackass" movies. In any case poor certainly describes the quality of the filmmaking.
There are enough laughs here to fill a five-minute skit but sadly, the film lasts a lot longer than that.
Once again, something that might have been a faintly amusing sketch on "Saturday Night Live" -- maybe even a tolerable 30-minute short, had the writing been more clever -- gets tortured into the shape of a feature film.
Hot Rod started to go wrong at about the time someone in casting said, "You know what? I'll bet America's just about ready for the comedy stylings of Sissy Spacek."
The filmmakers lack any visual sense of humor and any talent for sustaining long-form comedy; the stunts have less wallop than a TV bloopers show and the Oedipal family slapstick goes around in circles, in more ways than one.

Punters back Julia Gillard to win the next federal election as the Australian Prime Minister joins the Twitter scene
- From: AAP
- July 04, 2010
PRIME Minister Julia Gillard will win the next election but Labor will lose eight seats, the punters predict.
The Federal Government's stocks have improved since Labor ditched Kevin Rudd last month in favour of his former deputy Ms Gillard.
But Centrebet still expects the Government to lose eight seats at the next election but still enough to form a 10-seat majority.
Under this scenario, Labor would hold 80 federal seats, compared with 67 for the Coalition and three for the independents.
A redistribution has made five Coalition-held seats notionally Labor, putting 88 electorates in the Government's column.
A uniform swing of 1.5 per cent away from Labor would see the Government lose eight seats, including the electorate of Bennelong held by high-profile television journalist turned MP Maxine McKew.
Disendorsed MP Belinda Neal's NSW central coast seat of Robertson would also fall to the coalition along with Perth electorate of Hasluck and the Darwin seat of Solomon.
Labor's odds of winning the next election have shortened to $1.29 with the Coalition's odds now out at $3.50, following a $50,000 bet with Centrebet at the weekend.
This is the Government's shortest odds of victory since December last year, when the Liberals dumped Malcolm Turnbull as leader for Tony Abbott.
Centrebet has temporarily suspended betting for an election date, with August 28 presently the favourite.
With Ms Gillard heading to Queensland, an election is unlikely to be called today for early August.
Meanwhile, Ms Gillard has finally joined the social-networking site Twitter - and she's sent it into a Sunday afternoon frenzy.
Ms Gillard had been maintaining a dignified silence on Twitter, which other politicans appear addicted to.
But commensurate with her new role running the country, Ms Gillard joined the internet age on today.
Tweeting under ``JuliaGillard'', the prime minister said: ``I've decided it's time to take the Twitter plunge! Hopefully Ill master it. JG.''
Within half an hour of her first tweet, Ms Gillard had surged to 450 followers, and was adding one follower every three seconds.
Her site includes an ALP logo and a smart photograph of her in matching necklace and earrings.
Twitter allows anyone to sign up send out messages of 140 characters or less whenever they like; others sign up and follow the messages.
Ms Gillard may be the talk of Twitter but she has a long way to go before she can match her former boss Kevin Rudd, who has almost one million people following his regular tweets.
Posting under the not-entirely-accurate moniker ``KevinRuddPM'', Mr Rudd's latest message showed him enjoying a day out with his family on the Sunshine Coast.
``Doing normal things like shopping. Turns out I'm still a lousy shopper,'' Mr Rudd tweeted yesterday.
Mr Rudd's recent posts have received wide media coverage as he communicated what he was up to and how he felt after losing the leadership. His wife, Therese Rein, is also a committed tweeter.
Mr Abbott is just shy of 10,000 followers on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Ms Gillard has called for an open debate on asylum seekers days before the Government is expected to announce a new policy on refugees.
A three-month freeze on the processing of Sri Lankan asylum seekers is due to expire on Thursday.
Ms Gillard would not be drawn on what decision the Government would make or if it would apply to refugees more broadly.
However, she said people should be able to speak their mind on the issue, free from political correctness.
``I'd like to sweep away any sense that people should close down any debate, including this debate, through a sense of self-censorship or political correctness,'' Ms Gillard said while on a tour of bushfire-ravaged Marysville in Victoria.
``People should say what they feel and my view is many in the community should feel anxious when they see asylum seeker boats and obviously we as a government want to manage our borders.
``For people to say they're anxious about border security doesn't make them intolerant, it certainly doesn't make them a racist, it means that they're expressing a genuine view that they're anxious about border security.
``By the same token people who express concern about children being in detention, that doesn't mean they're soft on border protection, that just means that they're expressing a real human concern.''

ATLANTA (AP) - Records released by the Georgia Department of
Agriculture give no indication that samples were taken for
salmonella testing during two routine inspections last year at the
peanut butter plant in Blakely.
The plant is at the center of an investigation into a national
salmonella outbreak that has sickened about 500 people and may have contributed to seven deaths.
The inspection records released Monday do not indicate that any
samples of peanut butter or peanut paste were taken for testing.
One of the inspections was done in October, more than a month after the first person fell ill in the outbreak.
Inspection records for the state's other three peanut butter
plants all indicated that samples were taken last year for
salmonella testing.

Arts Take Two: Genius Cakes
posted by August 7 at 10:24 AMon
This was originally posted yesterday, but there were some problems with the embedded video. The problems have been fixed.
The Seattle P-I broke the news of who's getting 2007 Stranger Genius Awards last week.
This year's winners are filmmaker Linas Phillips, visual artist Alex Schweder, poet Heather McHugh, actor Amy Thone, and the Strawberry Theatre Workshop.
Every year, winners are notified with QFC cakes, although the way the cakes are delivered is always slightly different.
This year, the fifth for the Genius Awards, the cake hand-offs happened within a two-block area on Capitol Hill, as the winners were asked to lunch by Stranger writers.
Only McHugh, on vacation in Victoria, B.C., failed to get her cake in person. Dodge mailed it to her, much to the consternation of the post office clerk who told the unconcerned Dodge that the cake didn't have a prayer of arriving intact.
How did the winners respond when they got their cakes? This year we captured their responses on video:
Oh, this just in: In case you don't read Line Out, the lineup for the September 14 Genius Awards party at the Central Library is as follows: DJ Broken Soul/Broken Disco DJs, The Blow (!) and Velella Velella (!!).

Breast Cancer Health Center
Women Over 75 May Benefit From Mammograms
By Kathleen Doheny
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, Aug. 5, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Women 75 and older may still benefit from routine mammograms, according to new research.
However, not everyone agrees with this study's conclusions.
"Mammography detects breast cancer early, when it's more treatable and the risk of death is very low," said study researcher Judith Malmgren, an affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Seattle.
"If it's not detected by a mammogram and it's detected by the physician or the patients, women are more likely to have advanced stage disease and there is a higher risk of death," she said.
The study findings do make an important argument that age alone is not a reason to abandon mammography, said Dr. Gerrit-Jan Liefers, a surgical oncologist at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands. Liefers was not involved with the current research, but he did review the study's findings.
But, he added, the findings don't convince him that older women need routine screening.
In fact, Liefers presented preliminary findings from a study he conducted that found mammograms in women 70 and older might do more harm than good at the European Breast Cancer Conference earlier this year. He found that the screenings don't decrease the number of advanced breast cancer cases, but do lead to ''overtreatment," putting some at risk of harmful side effects.
Guidelines from professional organizations don't agree on routine mammograms for older women either. The American Cancer Society recommends that women continue to have mammograms annually as long as they remain in good health.
However, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine, concludes that there is not enough evidence one way or the other to recommend routine screening for women 75 and older.
The study was published online Aug. 5 in Radiology
In the new study, Malmgren and her colleagues looked at data from a registry of women with breast cancer. They found more than 1,100 women over age 75 diagnosed with early- to late-stage breast cancer from 1990 to 2011.

1998 The Glenrothes, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 43%
The Glenrothes Distillery, Speyside | Code: 3908 | 1998 | Scotch Whisky > Speyside Whisky | 43.0 % alcohol
Discover one of The Glenrothes' most "summery" expressions. With lovely hints of citrus fruit this vintage 1998 was described by Gordon Motion, The Glenrothes' Malt Master, as "Carmen Miranda's hat in a bottle. Tropical fruits lead with pineapple and mango developing into sweet bananas, coconut and classic Glenrothes vanilla pods."
Our vintage 1998 has a high proportion (c. 45%) of 1st fill American Sherry oak cask; 5% from 1st fill Spanish Sherry and a unusually high amount of Bourbon casks (12%) giving it its rich vanilla notes.
This expression is the next Core Vintage to follow the Vintages 1991 and 1994. It is one of the first of the Vintages expressly laid down at origin to be bottled as The Glenrothes on maturity. As a result it is anticipated that The Glenrothes Vintage 1998 will have greater longevity than some of the earlier vintages.
The comparatively youthful The Glenrothes Vintage 1998 boasts a nose of spicy vanilla, golden syrup and lemongrass. The palate is gentle and quite sweet, with vanilla custard and cinnamon notes.

Scores and Reviews
OTHER - The first of the Glenrothes vintages to emerge since new Malt Master, Gordon Motion, took over. So accuse it of being too simple on the palate -caramel and spice feature heavily- but for our money, that's the charm of this gentle drink.
(10 Best Scotch Whiskies, I The Paper for Today, Jan 2014)
The Story
The Glenrothes Distillery, Speyside
We are delighted to announce The Glenrothes has been awarded a quartet of gold medals at The Scotch Whisky Masters 2015. The honours include two Gold Medals for The Glenrothes Select Reserve and two Gold Medals for The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve. The Reserves are the heart of The Glenrothes range and have been created to give character, maturity and balance that deliver the best possible flavours.
The Glenrothes has been producing Speyside Single Malts since 1879. The Glenrothes's distillery is in Rothes in the heart of Speyside which is acknowledged by connoisseurs as the source of Scotland's finest single malts; indeed, it has the highest density of distilleries of any region. This is due to the unusually clement climate experienced in this area and the ample supply of soft water provided by the river Spey.
The Glenrothes is sought-after by Master Blenders across the land as a 'top dresser' for their blends, contributing an extra dimension of elegance, complexity and quality.
The Glenrothes Vintage Malt is the product of one year of distillation. Unlike wine, where climate is key in determining the quality of the vintage, with Single Malts it is the quality of the wood used in the oak casks which is of greatest influence.
Once a prospective Glenrothes vintage malt has been identified, its casks are systematically checked until such time as the malt is judged to be at its best for drinking; then it is bottled.
Normally this ageing process is between 10 and 16 years after distillation, producing a malt characterised by a fruity, spicy nose and a heathery-honeyed palate. On rare occasions, this ageing process can be longer, producing classics with dried fruit character and real mellowness.
Recent Awards: The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve won a Double Gold Medal at the China Wine and Spirits Awards 'Best Value' 2015.
The Glenrothes Extraordinary Single Cask 1970 picked up the whisky industry's highest accolade for design at the World Whisky Awards 2013. It won first the sub-category for 'Best Design – Limited Edition' followed by the overall prize for 'World's Best Design'.
Speyside Whisky
To some Speyside represents the jewel in whisky's crown. Speyside is the home of legal whisky production and it's best known examples. Around the world Glenlivet, Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenrothes and Glenfarclas typify all that whisky, at it's best has to offer. At it's heart running from the Monadhliath mountains north to the sea, is the River Spey. It is the fastest flowing river in Britain, and also well known for its salmon fishing.
Speyside is the principal whisky-producing region: Speyside has within it some forty-six operating distilleries - over half the total number in the entire Scotland.
Speysides are essentially sweet whiskies. They have little peaty character They are typically highly perfumed, feminine and elegant.
The classical nature of Speyside's malts means that a number of the finest malts are used almost exclusively for blending. It is the top Speysider's that give good blends their 'Top Dressing'.
Malts such as Mortlach, Glen Elgin, Strathmill and Benrinnes are rarely found as distillery bottlings, however when individual casks are tracked down by independent bottlers such as our Own Selection Single Malt Whiskies the resultant whisky can be quite wonderful.

love the care great
This man is incredibly rude and a pathetic excuse for a Doctor. I went to the EMERGENCY room and was told by this man that I smelled like a dog and my mom smelled like smoke (which I don't really care about that part because she does). First off, what does it matter? I wasn't there to be SMELLED, I was there for EMERGENCY treatment. For him to point out how I smelled and my mother was incredibly unprofessional. I do own a dog that I love very dearly, is he jealous and miserable? Is he proud hat he knows what his nose is used for? This same doctor, I went in for a physical about a month ago. For a physical, he looked in my ears and checked my heart, nothing else. He also gave me a prescription for a medication that I did not need whatsoever. He pointed out the obvious fact that I had allergies like it was something he discovered during this so-called physical, look at the form genius. This man is an awful doctor, very unprofessional, and I will never ever go to the Lakeland Hospital again. I would rather drive an hour away if I was bleeding to death, then see this man again. The only plus side; the staff was very friendly. Everyone was but him. I did get a good diagnosis, but that had nothing do with him. The nurses were amazing. All he did was point out how I smelled and checked my heartbeat. I'm also pretty sure he was not putting the stethoscope in the right spot, if you know what I mean. Sick, disgusting, pathetic, HUGE, unprofessional, rude, and just a terrible person all around. I really wish I could give zero stars on the beside manner..
