A2P Legal Externship is a 4-credit hour non-graded program
which enables you to extern with a supervising attorney
in a wide variety of legal areas – private or public, civil
or criminal. Externships are available for the Fall, Spring
and Summer semesters. Some public sector externships enable
you to obtain a 711 license and appear in court.
Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement what you learn
in the classroom, you need practical experience in real-world
legal work. Most students aren't fortunate enough to receive
a paid clerking position — or even a volunteer opportunity
— that teaches what they want to learn. LEP presents a unique
and important opportunity to gain exposure to an area of
the law in which you are interested and helps you significantly
broaden your future employment opportunities.
Students interested in civil law may extern in a wide variety
of places. For example, some have externed at the City of
Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office of the Illinois
Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission, Immigration
Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal Revenue
Service, and Environmental Protection Agency, as well approved
in-house corporate legal counsel.
Students interested in criminal law have externed at the
US Attorney's Office, the Office of the Federal Defender,
and at the offices of the State's Attorney and Public Defender
in Cook County as well as the surrounding counties.
Application Process:
Information and application packets for Spring 2014 will
be available both on line as well as in front of the Spakateria,
in the Career Services Office, and in Room 600 Law Offices
reception area in mid-October.
If you would like more information, please check the Externship
The United States Department of Education, Office for Civil
Rights (OCR), enforces several Federal civil rights laws
that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color,
national origin, sex disability and age. OCR also enforces
the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act of 2001 that
prohibits the denial of equal access or a fair opportunity
to meet with, or discriminate against, any group officially
affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America. Successful extern
candidates will work with OCR attorneys and investigators
on one or more teams in the Chicago Office to resolve discrimination
The extern will observe and participate in complainant
and witness interviews, participate in the drafting of all
documents pertinent to an OCR investigation, including letters
of notification, data requests and letters of finding. The
extern may have the opportunity to participate in local
on-site investigations and will assist with data analysis,
engage in substantial legal research and be expected to
adhere to the tight time frames of the Department. The team
attorney(s) with whom the extern will work will supervise
the extern's work. The extern coordinator, the deputy chief
attorney and chief attorney will also be available to assist
the extern.
If you are interested, please submit a letter of interest
along with a copy of your resume, writing sample and updated
transcript (if available), postmarked no later than October
11, 2013 to:

This is a new type of post for my blog, and I know I have been absent from the blog for awhile, I'm still digging and discovering new things though!
|as you can see, the little wooded area where the cemetery is located is surrounded by modern life. It is snuggled in between a motel, what used to be a restaurant, a medical lab, doctors offices, then in the back, a new housing development.
The description said the cemetery was behind a place that used to be a restaurant called The Briarpatch. I have not been here long enough to remember a restaurant by that name. My husband remembered it, but I asked my local friends on Facebook if they remember it, and to confirm my husband's recollections. Looking on the maps, and zooming into the suspected location, we could see that development was closing in on the location, but there was still a small wooded patch right where we suspected the cemetery might be. Though many of the locals remembered the restaurant, none recalled knowing of a cemetery behind it. Between the encroaching of society and the lack of knowledge of the locals of a cemetery being there, my husband and I began to wonder if any remains of the cemetery even still exists.
The next couple days were a bit busy for us, but yesterday we needed to go get some groceries. The location in question is not far from where we live (maybe a half mile or so away), so we decided to drive by and at least look to see if there were any signs of a cemetery remaining. We drove around to the back of the building that used to be the restaurant, a paved drive allowed us to drive right to the back. We walked into the small overgrown wooded patch, with my camera at the ready.
|the small wooded patch as it looks from the back of the former restaurant
It only took a moment to find a small cluster of stones laying on the ground. A small stone was marked simply "mother", a large stone near it, laying face up, still had inscriptions mostly readable. I took some pictures, after we brushed some of the dirt and vegetation off. But, It would be easier to read if we could go back and clean it up some more, and maybe use some cornstarch to help bring out the markings.
|Cluster of stones where small "Mother" stone and stone for Garland Withers and his wife Sarah Morrison were found. We did not see markings on the 3rd stone seen here.
|Garland H. Withers born ___ 26, 1810 (?) Died Sept ___1889 (?)
His wife Sarah C Morrison Born July 20, 1818 (?) Died Aug 14, 1891 (?)
Another stone, not far away, obviously broken, only had partial markings still visible. We could see it said Elizabeth, but no last name, and not real sure we can make out any dates or partial dates.
We looked and walked around some more, not really seeing any more stones standing or laying, but as we stepped around on what we thought was just solid ground covered with dead leaves and vines, often our foot would land on something hard. Clearing back the vines and leaves would reveal a stone, close to the ground. It's hard to decide if many of those stones were once head stones or markers now broken and weathered, or if they were part of what once had been a wall, or just random stones.
|these two we didn't touch, this is how they appeared as we found them
|my husband clearing dirt and vine and leaves off a long stone. Was it once part of a rock wall? Or the base of a marker?
|my shoe for size reference on what is left of a stone we uncovered. Was it once the base of a marker?
|Another set of stones we didn't bother, but how we found them
At the edge of the wooded spot, there was a pile of dirt and stones, most likely left from the construction of the housing area on the other side of the wooded grove.
|a pile of dirt and rock piled at the edge of the wooded spot, probably left over from construction. We did not see any stones with markings, but we didn't dig or try to clean any off either.
We decided this spot needed a return visit. It also needed some cleaning up with rakes, maybe shovels and who knows what else. We will have to find out who now owns the property and get permission to attempt to clean things up a bit. At the grocery store we ran into the wife of our boys' Boy Scout troop master and mentioned it to her, in case any boys were looking for an Eagle Project. We think it would be best to do what we can before growing season comes back. Can you imagine what this will be like in the spring and summer?
We were only there for a few minutes, but before we left, I whispered over the graves to those resting, so if they can hear from where ever they are, they now know they have not been forgotten.

With hurricane season upon us, evidence of preparation surrounds us. Tree trimmers contracted by local electrical utility companies have been removing trees, branches and other vegetation "too close" to power lines, which has concerned many homeowners.
With hurricane season upon us, evidence of preparation surrounds us. Tree trimmers contracted by local electrical utility companies have been removing trees, branches and other vegetation "too close" to power lines, which has concerned many homeowners.
To prevent power outages, the federally approved Vegetation Management Reliability Standard, FAC-033-2, requires utilities to manage vegetation growth along the path of power lines to prevent contact. A minimum clearance of 14 feet between trees and transmission lines in the right-of-way must be maintained at all times to achieve service reliability and public safety.
Florida Statute 163 grants an electric utility an easement or right-of-way on private property to build and maintain electric power lines. Vegetation maintenance allows for mowing vegetation within the right-of-way, removal of trees or brush within the right-of-way and selective removal of tree branches extending within the right-of-way by the electric utility personnel, licensed contractors or International Society of Arboriculture-certified arborists.
The choice of how to trim trees and manage vegetation growth near a power line � by pruning, herbicides or tree removal, for example � is primarily made by the electric utility, subject to state and local requirements and laws, applicable safety codes and any limitations or obligations specified in right-of-way agreements.
An individual may contact the utility company to obtain a copy of his or property�s right-of-way agreement.
Sometimes, it appears that excessive vegetation has been removed. Remember, utility companies must maintain the appropriate clearance "at all times."
For example, power lines sag in the summer as they expand from rising air temperatures and heavy use. In addition, wind and future growth must be considered when determining where to prune. Electric utilities usually prune or remove vegetation to a distance greater than the minimum clearances to account for these factors.
Tree trimming around power lines may seem like a local issue, but vegetation growth also affects interstate transmission lines.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that electric utility service interruptions annually cost businesses and communities tens of billions of dollars. Tree contact with transmission lines was the leading cause of the August 2003 blackout that affected 50 million people in the Northeastern United States and Canada.
That particular blackout prompted Congress to pass the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which led the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish the Vegetation Management Reliability Standard.
If Northwest Florida experiences a storm, remember that tree and branch clearing provides faster access for first responders, line repair crews and other emergency service personnel.
As you watch preparation work in progress, think about where you will plant a tree. Ensure it can reach full maturity without threatening power lines � which would require "ugly pruning."

These are interesting times for U.S. and California cotton. A week at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in San Antonio, Texas provided contrasts between California and the rest of the U.S. Cotton Belt as well as insight into major changes for American cotton.
First California. The apparent is that California's future is Pima cotton. Extra Long Stable cotton is in unprecedented demand worldwide. Prices of $1.20 to $1.30 per pound have California seed suppliers increasing acreage projections upward. It may reach 400,000 in the San Joaquin Valley this season. Just last fall, the top end of projections was 350,000 acres.
California is in the ELS driver's seat worldwide. Other countries produce ELS cotton, but many are unreliable suppliers or there are quality issues not associated with American Pima. Also, Supima's branding program is forcing mills throughout the world to use American Pima from California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
SJV Acala? It may fall to 250,000 in '06 but no one wants to see that. SJV Acala remains one of the world's finest upland cottons, but others styles, like the rapidly growing Fibermax varieties are gaining on Acala quality and taking SJV markets. Also, the cost of farming in California is driving upland cotton off the land, replaced by almonds, grapes, vegetables and other higher value crops.
The California cotton industry is far from dead, although acreage has plummeted over the past decade to less than half of what it once was. It is just different — and thank goodness for Pima. The only thing left to ponder is what would have been if Pima had come into California 20 years earlier as it should have.
In contrast to California, the U.S. produced a huge upland crop last year and indications another one is possible this season. Upland acreage and production are not falling like they are in California. This is being fueled largely by growing world demand for cotton. However, this demand is on a collision course with a U.S. cotton support program that seems to be politically scheduled for dismantling. The world's textile mills may want U.S. cotton, but can American cotton farmers afford to produce it?
There are the obvious hand wringers who are forecasting doom without the current federal farm program. However, others are saying there are pricing opportunities for U.S. cotton unleashed from federal farm programs.
Economists like Carl Anderson professor and Extension specialist emeritus, Texas A&M University, have been preaching the gospel of better marketing to producers. Some have become believers. Others had better if they plan to stay in the cotton-growing business.
Already there are 20 to 25 cents per pound spreads in futures prices in cotton marketing years. If the farm program disappears there will likely be even more volatility. And volatility translates to profit opportunities.
The National Cotton Council will fight until the last vote in Congress to maintain foundational federal cotton program, but it is looking like U.S. cotton farmers had better buy new running shoes to keep up with a new cotton marketing era offering more twists and turns than a jackrabbit trying to escape a hunter's rifle shot on the West Texas Plains.

text: A nice surprise: inside a folder of oversize type proofs, I found a stowaway: A Specimen of Printing Types by Joseph Fry and Sons, Letter-Founders, 1785. Like many contemporary type specimens, it separates dinner from dessert: on the front are romans and italics, in sizes from Long Primer (10pt) to Four Lines Pica (48pt), and on the back are all the specialty types. The latter category includes types for Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Greek, and Samaritan, a collection of ornaments and coats of arms, a blackletter in nine sizes, and the above, a roman cut in the Diamond size (4pt) and identified as "The Smallest Letter in the WORLD." It looks pretty good for a 223-year-old! —JH

Car Deals
Luxury Car Deals: August 2013
If you're searching for a new luxury car, we can help. We've listed some of the best luxury car deals and incentives for shoppers interested in getting the best interest rate, monthly payment or cash-back deal on a new luxury car this month.
Acura ILX
The 2014 Acura ILX is a fuel-efficient compact luxury sedan based on the popular Honda Civic. In August, it has four special offers. One is a low-interest financing deal that allows qualified shoppers to take advantage of rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 60 months. The other deals are all lease offers. For the lowest payment, Acura is offering a 36-month term with $3,400 down and monthly payments from just $209 per month. Shoppers who would rather put nothing down can get the same ILX for 35 months with payments starting at $300 per month. And for those who want the upscale Technology Package, Acura is offering a 36-month lease deal with payments from $259 per month after $3,600 down at lease signing.
Infiniti G37 Sedan
The 2013 Infiniti G37 Sedan is offered with one of its best deals yet in August. Through the end of the month, qualified shoppers interested in leasing the sedan can do so with monthly payments from just $299 -- a deal that even extends to all-wheel-drive models. Better yet, taking advantage of that offer requires only a 24-month term. Of course, like all lease offers, shoppers also must put money down: In this case, it's either $2,499 for the rear-wheel-drive model or $2,699 for a G37 equipped with all-wheel drive.
Lincoln MKZ
The new Lincoln MKZ is a midsize luxury sedan with a bold, futuristic look. While sales have been brisk, the 2013 MKZ is available with a few incentives to help clear out inventory before 2014 models arrive. For qualified shoppers looking to finance, that means 0-percent interest for up to 60 months, or 1.9 percent for 72 months. Lease-shoppers will also find a deal, as Lincoln is touting 36-month terms with payments starting at $329 per month for the gas-powered MKZ or $369 per month for the MKZ Hybrid. Both deals require around $3,800 down at lease signing. Finally, Lincoln is also offering $1,000 cash back this month for any driver trading in a vehicle from a competitive automaker.
Mercedes C-Class
The 2013 Mercedes C-Class is a rear- or all-wheel-drive entry-level luxury model offered in coupe or sedan bodystyles. For shoppers who want a sedan, Mercedes is touting lease rates from $349 per month for 27 months on the turbocharged C250. The only catch: Drivers have to put $4,000 down. The same down payment applies to the all-wheel-drive C300 4Matic, though monthly payments increase to $369 per month. For shoppers interested in the C250 Coupe, Mercedes has a deal available this month on the 2014 model only. As a result, it's more expensive than the sedan models, offering payments from $429 per month after $3,723 due at lease signing.
Volvo S60
The recently redesigned Volvo S60 is a high-end midsize sedan that ranks among Volvo's most popular models. In August, the 2013 S60 is offered with two special lease rates to attract shoppers interested in a luxury car. The best deal is a 24-month term on a front-wheel-drive model. Through the end of the month, that offer boasts payments starting at $279 per month with less than $1,900 down at lease signing. For drivers who need all-wheel drive, Volvo offers the S60 with the same 24-month term and $1,900 down payment, though payments increase to $319 per month.
What it means to you: Our list of luxury car deals will make it easy to find a great deal on some of today's top luxury cars.

A brutal crime stirs protest and introspection in India.
As we saw recently with the Newtown massacre, a tragedy sometimes can seize a nation's attention and force reflection on its causes. India is now passing through a similar moment of self-examination, following massive protests after the gang rape of a 23-year-old woman in New Delhi. She died on Friday.
In the past week, people gathered peacefully in Delhi, Calcutta and Hyderabad to express a variety of demands, some to show solidarity with the victim, others to clamor for speedy justice or even the death penalty for the rapists....

Axle Radeon HD 5450 Review
Low end graphics cards are generally used for a very specific purpose, usually it is for consumers who cannot afford better but want something that beats onboard graphical performance, or people looking for low power consumption or small form factors. Right now the weakest, or least expensive, in ATI's product stack is the HD 5450 with only 80 stream processors. The low end cards of the prior 4000 generation also offered cards with 80 stream processors. The next step up is the ATI Radeon HD 5550 with 320 stream processors, and twice as many TMUs (16) and ROPs (32 Z/Stencil and 8 Color) than the 5450 and is still low-profile, as is the 5570. Personally, for low-profile needs I would aim for either the 5550 or 5570, especially the 5550s because of their performance and minimal cost difference from the 5450. Both should run in the price range of high $30 to $60+, but if size is no matter then the prior generations of ATI cards (Radeon HD 4000/3000) are getting cheaper so for the cost-conscious that could be another great alternative.
For office needs the Radeon 5450 is plenty capable, it can render at 2560x1600 with digital output and can handle media fine as well. The only weak spot is gaming or intensive rendering applications where this card does not shine and will fall far behind any dedicated gaming GPU. This card can run some games at low settings and resolution decently, but eye candy will be minimal. This line is great for extremely low power consumption systems, offices, and for HTPCs that won't be used for gaming much, if at all. Axle has provided an HD 5450 for review, it is paired with 512MB of DDR3, which should be the sweet spot for memory amount and speed for this GPU.
Closer Look:
The Axle Radeon HD 5450 comes packed in a small and lightweight cardboard box with a smooth finish all around. The box has orange stickers applied to it to indicate which graphics card is included - the same box is used for other Axle 5000 series cards. The background is black and on the front is a girl wearing an interesting suit with shin, shoulder, arm, and chest guards along with a helmet and safety glasses. It is interesting that she is wearing protection while her chest and abs are exposed. On the website they have her standing next to a scooter/small motorcycle with a gun that shoots red circles. Moving on, the box has a sticker indicating that the graphics card has been equipped with solid state capacitors, with 50,000hrs (a little under 6 years) MTTF the graphics card shouldn't die early on from capacitor failure. The card also has 512MB of DDR3, which should be plenty of speed and quantity to satiate the Cedar GPU core. The print on the back of the box is slightly blurry and uses an atypical font so it will be hard to read in the image, but I will post the key bits here. All of the graphics cards in the list are mid- to high-end cards ranging from Radeon HD 5970 to 5750, all of which are far more powerful and have very different specs than the 5450. Tessellation, Multi-Threading, Compute Shaders, DirectX 11, and ATI Eyefinity are the features mentioned at the top half of the back. At the bottom right a gun is being clutched by a torso, the gun looks like a sci-fi train to me.
Opening the box we are greeted with a peak of the 5450 through the antistatic bag and the instructions/driver CD holder. Other than these two items the box is entirely empty - no dongles, adapter cables, or converters included or required.
The fold out has three pages inside, with a latch to keep it shut. The company logo and website address are readily visible. Opening the tabs up we see the girl again with her train gun. The company logo and website are listed again, as are their contact information. Opening the last flap reveals the driver disc and instructions for getting the card up and running. The instructions are very basic but should help a beginner somewhat. A sticker helps to keep the disc from sliding around. Other than that, all that is included is the graphics card; for a card of this tier a fancy manual/driver holder is nice to find.
Time to take a look at the video card up close!

by Padre Gerardo Di Flumeri, OFM Cap.
By declaring
Padre Pio Venerable the Holy Father has concluded the Process of Beatification. The Vice
Postulator, Father Gerardo explains exactly what took place in this private
On 18
December 1997 the decree on the
heroicity of the virtues of the Servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, was issued. From
this day forward the Padre was given the right to the title of "Venerable."
The title "Venerable" states only
that the Apostolic See has recognized the heroicity of the virtues of the Servant of God
and has issued the relative decree. It does not authorize any public and ecclesiastical
cult, which the Church usually concedes to Servants of God who have been canonized or only
Before the Code of Canon Law of 1917, the
title "Venerable" was given to a Servant of God after the decree of the
introduction of the cause. The Congregation of rites then prohibited the application of
this title until the decree on the heroicity or martyrdom was issued (26 August 1913).
This prohibition was confirmed in c. 2115, 2 of the Code of 1917.
As regards Padre Pio, here in brief
synthesis are the principal steps which led him to this title.
The diocesan process brought to completion
(1983-1990), the voluminous documentation, collected by the ecclesiastical tribunal and
historic commission, and was consigned to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, who
appointed an official reporter. Overseen by him, after five years of tireless work
(1991-1996), the Postulation drew up the "positio." On 15 December 1996,
synthesized in four volumes and divided in six tomes, the "positio" was
consigned to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, who, in an informal meeting on the
19th, entrusted it to eight theological consultors, in the same Congregation.
The theological Consultors immediately set
to work, reading and studying the vast documentation, on the life, the apostolic work and
virtues of the Servant of God. After five months of intense work they were able to
pronounce their judgment, which they presented in writing. Then on 13 June 1997, there was
a meeting of the special Congress of the Congregation of the Causes of Saints, constituted
according to the Regulation of the same department approved "ad experimentum" by
the Holy Father on 21 March 1983, art. 7 and 22 - by the general Promoter of the Faith,
and the eight theological Consultors, to discuss the heroicity of the virtues of the
Servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.
Overseen by the aforesaid Promoter, there
was an extensive and thoroughly examined discussion, in which all the Consultors
pronounced their positive judgment on the Servant of God and confirmed with a written
vote. To the question if they acknowledged the heroicity of the virtues, 9 out of 9,
including the general Promoter of the Faith gave their affirmative vote, "recognizing
in the Servant of God one of the most loved religious figures of this century who they
desired to see raised to the honour of the altars."
The nine votes with the Promoter's report,
were printed in an apposite volume, which together with the tomes of the
"positio" were consigned to the cardinals and bishops, members of the
Congregation for the Causes of Saints, for the last and definitive examination of the
heroicity of virtues. After about three months of study, the cardinals and bishops, met in
the ordinary Congregation, on 21 October 1997, and heard the presentation of the Advocate
of the cause, appointed previously in the person of Mgr Andrea Maria Erba, Bishop of
Velletri-Segni. After the exhaustive presentation of the Advocate, all the cardinals and
bishops present pronounced their favourable view on the heroicity of the virtues of the
Servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.
The Holy Father, informed of the positive
result of the two Commissions (the Congress of the theologians and the Congregation of the
cardinals and bishops) approved the positive view pronounced by them and gave his
confirmation and final judgment, formulated in the "Decree on the heroicity of the
virtues," that was read and proclaimed.
From this day forward Padre Pio of
Pietrelcina was given the right to the title of Venerable.

This section is applicable to BEA WebLogic Server 9.2. For the most part, this section is not to BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2. The description in this section for the filter mode setting of NONE is accurate for both BEA WebLogic Server 9.2 and BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2. Otherwise, for information about the agent filter modes as they apply to BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2, see Configuring the Agent Filter Modes Applicable to BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2.
The agent installation program and the J2EE agent AMAgent.properties configuration file allow you to set the agent filter in one of the five available modes of operation. Depending upon your security requirements, choose the mode that best suits your site's deployment. The following configuration property is used to control the mode of the agent filter:
The value for this property can be one of the following:
Regardless of what mode the agent filter is operating in, the agent realm will continue to function, if configured. This can therefore lead to a situation where the agent realm component may malfunction or may result in the negative evaluation of J2EE security policies configured in the application's deployment descriptors or being used through the J2EE programmatic security API. To avoid this, you may disable the agent realm component, if necessary. The sections that follow describe the different agent filter modes and also tell you how to disable the agent realm.
This mode of operation effectively disables the agent filter. When operating in this mode, the agent filter allows all requests to pass through. However, if the logging is enabled, the agent filter will still log all the requests that it intercepts.
This mode is provided to facilitate development and testing efforts in a controlled development or test environment. Do not to use this mode of operation in a production environment at any time.
Although this mode disables the agent filter from taking any action on the incoming requests other than logging, it has no effect on the agent realm, which might be configured in your deployment container and might get invoked by the deployed application if the deployed application has J2EE security policies in its descriptors or uses programmatic security. With the agent filter disabled, these applications will fail to evaluate the J2EE security policies correctly and as a result the deployed application may malfunction.
To create a situation functionally equivalent to not having the agent in your system at all, set the filter mode to NONE and complete the task described in Removing the Agent Authenticator From BEA WebLogic Server/Portal 9.2.
When the agent filter is operating in this mode, any declarative J2EE security policy or programmatic J2EE security API calls will return a negative result regardless of the user.
This is the least restrictive mode of operation for the agent filter. In this mode, the agent simply ensures that all users who try to access protected web resources are authenticated using Access Manager Authentication Service. In this mode of operation the agent realm is not used.
When operating in this mode, any declarative J2EE security policy or programmatic J2EE security API calls evaluated for the application will result in negative evaluation.
In this mode, the agent filter and agent realm work together with variousAccess Manager services to ensure the correct evaluation of J2EE policies. These policies may be configured using the declarative security in the application's deployment descriptors, or may be implicit in the code of the application in the cases where it uses the J2EE programmatic security APIs. No URL policies defined in Access Manager take effect in this mode of filter operation. When the deployed application uses declarative security in the web-tier, you must configure the agent to enable this feature. See Enabling Web-Tier Declarative Security in J2EE Agents for more information on how to enable this feature. When running in the J2EE_POLICY mode, the agent ensures that the security principal is set in the system for every authorized user access. In the J2EE_POLICY mode, the agent will not enforce any applicable URL policies as defined in Access Manager.
In this mode, the agent filter is used to enforce various URL policies that may be defined in Access Manager.
When the agent filter is in the URL_POLICY mode, the agent does not enforce any applicable J2EE declarative security policies. Such policies along with any calls to J2EE programmatic security API return negative results.
This is the most restrictive mode of the agent filter. In this mode, the filter enforces both J2EE policies and URL policies as defined in Access Manager. This mode of operation requires that the agent realm be configured in the deployment container. When running in the ALL mode, the agent ensures that the security principal is set in the system for every authorized access.
This mode of operation is, with very few exceptions, the preferred mode for deployed production systems.

An international research team has discovered the key protein in an enzyme responsible for lengthening the ends of chromosomes, a surprising finding that potentially could lead to the development of new ways to detect and treat cancer.
Ironically, the protein is nearly identical to the protein responsible for some viral diseases, including HIV, said Thomas Cech, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Colorado and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. The enzyme in which the protein was found, telomerase, is unusual because it contains a form of genetic material known as RNA.
The researchers showed the newly identified protein in yeast acts as the "catalytic center of telomerase, the heart of the enzyme," which is selectively activated in many cancer cells, said Cech.
The protein type, known as a "reverse transcriptase," also facilitates the onset and spread of HIV and other retroviruses by copying RNA into DNA and inserting it into the chromosome of hosts. Reverse transcriptase proteins also have been known to shuffle genetic information within the cells, he said.
Such proteins had not been thought to have an essential function in normal cells prior to the discovery, reported in the April 25 issue of Science. Co-authors of the study included Cech and Joachim Lingner of CU and HHMI, Tim Hughes and Victoria Lundblad of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and Andrej Shevenko and Matthias Mann of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg.
"It is a great irony that a protein essential for complete replication of chromosomes has the same detailed shape as the protein responsible for the replication of HIV," said Cech, who shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Telomerase has been heralded by some as a promising new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. If current theories regarding its role in human cancer prove accurate, then variants of pharmaceuticals like AZT currently being used to treat AIDS patients may prove useful as anti-cancer agents, Cech said.
Telomerase, which has been shown to be active in about 85 percent of cancer cells, is not found in adjacent, healthy cells, said the researchers. It may be possible to develop a drug that could "turn off" the production of telomerase in cancer cells, causing them to revert to normal activity, the researchers speculated.
In the Science paper, the researchers showed that changing even a single amino acid out of the 884 acids in the enzyme's chain prevented telomerase from working in living yeast cells. Cells carrying a mutant telomerase protein gradually lost DNA from their chromosome ends and ceased growing after about 75 generations.
A University of Colorado patent covering the new discovery has been licensed to Geron Corp. of Menlo Park, Calif., through the University Technology Corp.
"This breakthrough discovery of the only known essential protein component of telomerase in diverse species shows it is very widespread in biology," said Dr. Calvin Harley, Geron's vice president for research. "We think it likely that it will lead to the discovery of the key human protein, which, together with the known essential RNA component, should accelerate the discovery of therapeutics targeting telomerase."
The pathway to the discovery began in 1994, when CU postdoc Joachim Lingner began purifying telomerase from a single-celled pond organism known as Euplotes containing millions of small chromosomes rather than the 46 large ones found in human cells. Although Euplotes had much larger amounts of telomerase per cell, it nevertheless took two years to purify and analyze it with the help of high-tech mass spectrometry work conducted by the Heidelberg team.
A computer search of Genome Project data by the researchers identified a close relative of the gene for the Euplotes telomerase among chromosomes of baker's yeast. The Colorado team learned that Lunblad's Baylor lab in Houston had found the same yeast gene -- one of only four yeast genes known to result in shorter chromosome ends, or telomeres, when mutated.
Finding the yeast gene corresponding to the telomerase protein allowed the researchers to test the hypothesis that the reverse transcriptase action of the protein was essential for chromosome replication. The CU and Baylor groups introduced single amino-acid mutations into the proposed reverse transcriptase structure of the yeast protein.
"These changes obliterated telomerase activity in living cells and in the test tube, providing strong evidence the new protein provides the active center of the telomerase," said Cech.

Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly says he didn't see any sign linebacker Manti Te'o was affected by the girlfriend hoax leading up to the BCS game, but says in hindsight it may have been a factor.
Kelly says Te'o didn't play his best, adding that Alabama played a role. He says Tuesday only Te'o knows how it affected him.
Also, Kelly says his interview with the Philadelphia Eagles was mainly to get more information about coaching in the NFL and his heart remains in college football. Kelly interviewed with the Eagles on Jan. 8, a day after the Irish were beaten 42-14 by Alabama in the title game.
He says he tells recruits he's committed to Notre Dame.

We are still a long way from the NBA draft—just about four months, in fact—but already, questions have arisen about the intentions of star Australian guard Dante Exum. Already, Exum has acknowledged that he is a fan of Kobe Bryant, and signed with agent Rob Pelinka, who also represents Bryant. And Exum has said he'd love to play in Los Angeles.
But would Exum go so far as to try to angle his way onto the Lakers, who currently have the fifth-worst record in the NBA? That's the concern among some front-office executives around the league.
MORE: Where Exum Lands in 2014 NBA mock draft | LeBron, Wilt wear masks in games
"When you hear some of what he says, it does make you wonder how the process is going to go as far as workouts and that sort of thing," one general manager told Sporting News. "We have seen this story before, of course. I am not sure a player can have that kind of control, though."
And, in recent times, at least, the story has not exactly worked out the way the player hoped. When Ricky Rubio attempted to land himself with the Thunder, Clippers or Kings in '09, all three teams passed on him and he wound up going to Minnesota.
In 2007, when Yi Jianlian was trying to select his market, he only worked out in front of the Hawks, Celtics, Bulls, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Warriors and Sixers. Three teams with Top 7 picks—Milwaukee, Memphis and Minnesota—were not invited to watch him. The Bucks drafted Yi anyway.
If Exum wanted to go old-school, he could threaten to play overseas if anyone except the Lakers were to draft him. Already playing in Australia, that would not come across as an idle threat. That's not a common path, but back in 1989, forward Danny Ferry refused to play for the Clippers after they used the No. 2 pick on him, signing on in Italy until his rights were traded later that year.
It could be moot speculation, of course, because the woebegone Lakers are positioned to be in the Top 5 as things stand, and could bump up depending on how the lottery shakes out. Exum is slated to be in the Top 5, but not likely to go with one of the top two or three picks.
As the collegiate season has played out, several league executives have been walking back the excitement over this year's draft class—projected top picks like Andrew Wiggins, Marcus Smart and Julius Randle, despite producing good numbers, have not looked like transcendent players this year.
Speaking on the radio station 98.5 in Boston last week, Celtics GM Danny Ainge agreed with the notion that this group has been overerated.
"Yes, from the very beginning," Ainge said. "It's just all hype. It's a bunch of young kids out playing in AAU basketball and high school and making all sorts of assessments and then they watch them play on the real stages and they're not quite as good. College is a big jump from high school and I think reality has hit."
Baylor blues
There were a handful of players who made poor decisions to forgo the NBA draft last year and return to school, and one of those appears to be Baylor big man Isaiah Austin. Austin was slated to go in the back end of the first round last year, but his size (7-1) and versatility as a stretch-4 made him intriguing.
Back with the Bears, Austin has shown little in terms of improvement this year, his scoring having dropped from 13.0 points to 11.3, and his rebounding sliding to 5.7 per game from 8.3 last year. He did have a heartfelt story about playing despite being blind in one eye, but that was known among NBA executives last year and has had little impact on his stock.
"I could still see him going in the first round somewhere, based on his size and potential," one scout said. "But he does not get the ball enough, he does not hit the post enough, he is not assertive enough. More likely, he will be a second-rounder."

Consumers Look To Food For Brain Health
Consumer quest for preserving brain health is propelling awareness of ingredients to maintain or improve cognitive function.
Consumers increasingly are hungry for foods and beverages that promise to boost cognitive abilities. Better known as "smart foods," "cognitive boosters" and "brain enhancers," but technically referred to as "nootropics," they increase the brain's supply of neurochemicals by either enhancing oxygen supply to the brain or by stimulating nerve growth.
This emerging trend in the functional food sector offers immense opportunities for strong niche brands founded on good science and will undoubtedly bloom as high-paced lifestyles and stress continue to drive demand.
Concentrate … on the web
Ingredients at the forefront of brain research are advancing food and beverage applications to nourish the brain and stimulate, enhance, extend or relax mental functions. New findings indicate that decline in cognitive function and memory loss, once thought to be irreversible and the bane of aging, aren't necessarily inevitable or irreversible and may be prevented by health-promoting nutrition. The food industry is accelerating development of products to help boost brainpower, slow the aging of the brain and stave off dementia.
Nerve cells rely on neurotransmitters to convey information between them. An inadequate amount of any neurotransmitter can cause a breakdown in the transmission process and result in loss of mental and neural abilities. With aging, certain neurotransmitters decline along with diminishing cognitive abilities, including learning, memory and the ability to focus and execute functions such as planning, thinking, decision-making and problem solving.
A number of factors contribute to the risk of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Aging is the primary reason. Given the predominance of baby boomers, it is no surprise securing proper cognitive function has become important for consumers today.
Cause and effect
Coffee, tea or mate?
The environment contributes to chronic stress and cognitive decline. Genetic makeup and lifestyle, including diet and activity, also play important roles. Deficiencies in nutrients essential to brain function and vitality influence cognitive decline. But lifestyle and diet reform can substantially slow the rate of decline. Another issue is the number of neural conditions plaguing society today. The National Institute of Aging (NIA) estimates 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of neurodegenerative dementia. The disease generally commences after age 60; older people are at greater risk. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a syndrome characterized by inability to focus, restlessness and frequent mood swings, affects 3.5 million children in the U.S. ADHD is becoming a leading cause of school failure, under-achievement and behavioral difficulties. The third most common neurodegenerative disorder is Parkinson's disease (PD) which, according to the NIA, affects more than 1 million people in the U.S. older than 50. Inflammation is believed the likely cause of neurodegenerative conditions and loss of mental ability. Inflammation of blood vessels to the brain leads to plaque and hardened arteries (atherosclerosis) and a sequential shutdown of brain functions. Today's obesity epidemic means more people are facing conditions like atherosclerosis at younger ages, with onset as early as 10 years of age. Mounting evidence shows certain foods and nutrients can prevent inflammation and help delay the onset of brain health issues.
From pharm to table
Caffeine, the classic energy ingredient, is being re-evaluated as an enhancer of memory and focus."
Savvy companies are creating products that straddle the beverage and dietary supplement zones and beckon target audiences effectively with key messages about brain health such as alertness and concentration. A number of foods and nutrients have emerged as critical for brain foods. The functionality of the ingredients plays a key role to their placement within the category. Pharmaceutical companies have been developing targeted solutions to brain and neural issues for decades. More recently, the research community has begun to pay attention to foods and supplements as a viable and possibly safer solution. A number of clinical trials are under way to explore the merits of phytonutrients and botanicals in delaying or even preventing these debilitating conditions. Antioxidants can protect brain cells from the damage caused by free radicals – breakdown products from foods, tobacco, radiation and exposures to chemicals. Clinical studies show CoQ10 is an antioxidant that slows neurodegeneration and helps maintain healthy mitochondria. Until recently, its insolubility in water limited its application in beverages. Zymes LLC, Hasbrouck Heights, N.J., resolved the issue with its patented water-soluble HQO, employing nanotechnology to readily solubilize significant quantities of CoQ10 in water and lend it greater bioavailability. CoQ10 is beneficial for many: CoQ10 levels decrease during aging and markedly in individuals with AD and PD.

For Immediate Release: May 20, 2009
Daddow: 'The absolute dollar amount we received in property taxes in 2008, … we won't see that same level of dollars collected until probably 2020 or 2022' by state and local governments, even if economy picks up
'Perfect storm' requires governments to 'do business differently,' says Oakland County deputy exec
Contact: Robert Daddow
Adjunct Scholar, Mackinac Center for Public Policy
Deputy County Executive, Oakland County
MIDLAND — In a 14-minute video interview posted today on the Mackinac Center's Web site, Oakland County Deputy Executive and Mackinac Center Adjunct Scholar Robert Daddow argues that even if the real estate market and the economy strengthen, "The absolute dollar amount we received in property taxes in 2008 — the absolute dollar amount — we won't see that same level of dollars collected until probably 2020 or 2022, for governments." This means, he adds, that in Michigan, "Governments are about to go through at least a decade of where two-thirds of their principal revenue source — two-thirds of revenue sources for most governmental units is property taxes, setting schools aside for a moment — that isn't going to go up."
Daddow also observes that even before the Chrysler bankruptcy, Michigan governments were headed for "a perfect storm," which is "basically a whole series of fiscal issues that are occurring all at the same time, all heading downward and all adversely affecting governmental units — counties, cities, villages, townships, school districts and the state."
Daddow recommends that government officials focus seriously on long-term planning, getting control of labor contracts and attending to retiree health care costs. He also suggests governments consider cooperative provision of services and contracting services with private providers, adding: "People need to start thinking about how they're going to do business differently than they have in the past. Maybe government ought not to be in some businesses. Government's going to drop back to a core set of services sometime in the next several years. They're going to have to do that."
The interview, which is 14 minutes and 26 seconds long, is posted at www.mackinac.org/10549.

Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream with Crispy Ginger Cookies . . .
Now, before this morning, I can assure you I'd never tasted pumpkin flavored ice cream before in my life, nor ever craved it. I know I've never considered ordering anything like it in an ice cream shop, when faced with 31 or more predictable flavors (doubtless I'd pick something chocolatey and very chunky; that seems to be my ice-cream shop M.O.). But, I must say I'm pleased with the way this recipe turned out. It's truly interesting, and seems to have layers of flavor. There's a little grated orange zest in it, and that brightens the taste in a subtle way. It's not like pumpkin pie filling frozen on a stick, in case you were wondering. (Were you wondering?)
There seem to be quite a few variables that affect the success of homemade ice cream, most of which I simply haven't figured out yet. Some recipes contain a cooked custard mixture, others might contain a bit of corn starch, some contain boatloads of heavy cream, while others . . . well, you get the drift. What determines what will help to thicken some ice creams beautifully but not others? Je ne sais pas. (Beats me.) No, I haven't cracked the code yet as to why some recipes work well and others leave much to be desired, but I'm workin' on it. (I think I'd better put David Lebovitz's book The Perfect Scoop on my Christmas list--based on reader reviews, that seems to be the last word lately on great homemade I.C.!)
In keeping with the ubiquitous autumnal theme (there is an autumnal theme that's just raging in food/baking blogs lately . . . raging, I tell you) I figured ginger cookies would complement the pumpkin nicely, so I made a few this morning and they do indeed mesh well. The cookie recipe is one that I adapted from Gourmet magazine, in the December 1998 issue, for "Swedish Ginger Thins." (Poor Gourmet . . . you've probably already heard over and over that the magazine's just closed up shop. What a pity and a shame.) They're really very much like ginger snaps, except not rock hard and super crunchy. In fact, these are nicely crispy on the outside, in a tender sort of way, and a little bit soft and chewy on the inside. They're so thin, I'm not quite sure how they accomplish that feat, but they do.
These are cookies that are designed to be rolled out and cut with a cutter, but that can be a hassle with this type of very sticky, soft dough (even when properly chilled, this type of dough gets soft again at the speed of sound). I made a few of them that way, but then decided to just scoop the rest and press them down with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar, in the interest of time and sanity. Those would be the round ones you see in the photos.
I altered the recipe just a bit, by racheting up the ground ginger, racheting down the ground cloves, adding a smidgen of salt, and omitting the almonds entirely. I also revised the instructions slightly. They indicate, for eg., that you should use a rolling pin cover and a pastry cloth--I assume because of the stickiness of the dough. I don't know about you, but I don't routinely use those items, and though I own a rolling pin cover I don't even remember where it is!
The ice cream recipe came from the book Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt, by Gar and Mable Hoffman, and it couldn't possibly be simpler. The only thing I'd do differently, if I were to make this recipe again, would be to strain the liquid ice cream mixture before it goes into the fridge to chill.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
(For a printable version of this recipe, and the ginger cookie recipe below, click here!)
16 oz. of canned pumpkin
1 cup brown sugar, packed (I used light brown)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg (I used fresh grated nutmeg)
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 cup half & half
1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
2 cups heavy cream
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Chill or freeze according to your specific ice cream maker's instructions. (For the KitchenAid attachment, I chilled the liquid for at least a full day in a glass bowl before churning it in the ice cream attachment; then I poured that into a glass container, covered it, and froze that for a full day before serving it. It gets very firm.)
Crispy Ginger Cookies
3 cups All Purpose flour
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 and 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.
In a small/medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until it just forms firm peaks. Set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. On low speed, add in the corn syrup and the whipped cream, beating just until combined.
Add the flour mixture and beat until well combined.
Form the dough into a disk, and chill it in the fridge overnight, or in the freezer for an hour or so. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cut the dough into quarters and work with one section at a time, keeping the others in the fridge while you work. If you want to use cookie cutters, roll out the dough to about 1/4" thickness, space the cookies at least 2" inches apart, and bake for about 7 minutes.
If you'd prefer not to use cutters, use a small scoop to portion your cookie dough. Dip the dampened bottom of a glass in sugar and press that into the top of the cookies to flatten them a bit. They'll spread out quite a bit on the pan. Bake them for about 7 minutes.
Let your cookies cool on the pan until they seem stiff enough to move to cooling racks.
Yummy with milk, or how about with pumpkin ice cream?

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Michael Vick needed a job. The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a backup quarterback.
One solid workout solved both problems.
The Steelers signed the four-time Pro Bowler to a one-year deal on Tuesday night, hopeful there's enough game left in the 35-year-old's still dangerous legs to provide the defending AFC North champions some insurance should something happen to Ben Roethlisberger.
"There's not a throw on the field he can't make from an arm strength standpoint," Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. "He's a very experienced guy at what he does at this point in his career and the mobility is still unique even at 35."

Free lecture to show how 3D visualization reveals the sea floor
The Lamar University chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, will host Rikk Kvitek, professor in the Division of Science and Environmental Policy, California State University Monterey Bay, in a free public lecture on Wednesday, March 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Richard Price Auditorium, John Gray Center, Building A.
Although the global ocean is the driver of weather, a highway for marine commerce, a reservoir of vast marine resources, and our playground, we know more about distant planets than we do about the seafloor. Through novel applications of cutting edge technology, scientists can now visualize submarine canyons, underwater seamounts and ridges, and even a kelp forest teeming with marine life.
Beginning with SCUBA, Kvitek quickly realized that detailed bird's-eye views of the seafloor could do for marine research what aerial photography had done for terrestrial studies, and now specializes in bringing seafloor habitats to life with high resolution remote sensing and 3D visualization. The State of California has undertaken a cutting-edge project to make this possible by mapping the seafloor of all the state's waters.
Kvitek directs the university's Seafloor Mapping Lab. Kvitek also teaches and directs the program's geospatial technology curriculum, including classes in GIS, GPS, and acoustic remote sensing. His research involves numerous undergraduate students in high-resolution mapping of west coast benthic habitats and communities critical to resource management issues.
In his lecture, Kvitek will show the first images created from this effort and share how this new information is being used.
Kvitek obtained his Bachelor of Science in zoology from the University of Michigan, a Master's at Moss Landing Marine Labs, and Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Washington. He joined the faculty at CSUMB in 1996. The CSU system acknowledged his contributions in 2004, making him the first CSUMB faculty member to receive the Wang Family Excellence Award in Natural Sciences.
His research with whales, sea otters, walrus, sea birds, fish, icebergs, submarine canyons and numerous invertebrates from the Arctic to the Antarctic has brought novel insights to the fields of benthic ecology, seafloor disturbance, habitat mapping and species relations, and the effects of harmful algal bloom toxins in marine food chains.
For more information on the lectures, contact Jim Westgate, University Professor of Earth and Space Sciences, at (409) 880-7970.

Description: Sashimi Hocho are used for slicing raw fish (Sashimi) and are also suitable for fine slicing of other meats.
Moon of Fuji sashimi knives are handmade from aogami #2 (blue paper #2) carbon steel. Because blue steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish. This knife is honyaki (or "true-forged") and is made from one piece of carbon steel. Knives of this style take more skill to forge and shape than hon kasumi knives and are also more difficult to sharpen. Of all the Japanese knives, honyaki knives have the greatest kirenaga, staying sharp the longest, but they are also more fragile than other knives and can chip, crack, or break if used improperly.
The highly polished blade was heat treated using a traditional clay technique usually reserved for Japanese swords. Clay was spread along the spine of the blade prior to heat treatment. This heat sink results in a soft, supportive spine with an extremely keen, long lasting edge. The transition line from softer to harder steel is called a hamon. Here, the hamon was created to resemble Mt Fuji, with a moon rising above it.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The handle is octagonal and is formed from ebony with front and rear buffalo horn ferrules. Sterling silver spacers add an exceptional contrast. A central pin sets the handle in place. This is very rare for hocho (traditional Japanese knives) and is typically only found on Japanese swords. The knife is accompanied by a deluxe matching ebony saya. The saya incorporates a sterling silver escutcheon that is ready for engraving.
The blade comes razor sharp. Designed for right-handed use.

Breast Cancer Drug Tied to Diabetes in Older Women
Older women taking the breast cancer drug tamoxifen may have an increased risk of developing diabetes, a new study suggests.
The findings, reported in the journal Cancer, do not prove that tamoxifen directly leads to diabetes in some women.
But researchers say it is plausible that in women with known risk factors for diabetes—like obesity or family history of the disease—tamoxifen furthers the risk somewhat.
The study, of more than 14,000 breast cancer survivors age 65 and up, found that 10 percent were diagnosed with diabetes over five years.
Those odds were one quarter higher among women who were currently on tamoxifen, versus those who were not. (Women prescribed tamoxifen for breast cancer typically take it for five years.)
That increase is small and the findings should not "alarm" women taking tamoxifen, said study leader Lorraine L. Lipscombe, of Women's College Hospital and the University of Toronto in Canada.
"Tamoxifen is a very important drug," Lipscombe said in an interview. "I don't want women to think they should stop taking it."
And if tamoxifen does affect the odds of developing diabetes, it may only do so in certain women, according to Lipscombe.
She and her colleagues speculate that tamoxifen may boost diabetes risk in women already predisposed to the disease.
Tamoxifen, sold in the U.S. as Nolvadex and Soltamox, works by inhibiting the hormone estrogen. And animal research suggests that estrogen plays a role in blood sugar control. Adult-onset, or type 2, diabetes arises when the body can no longer properly use the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar.
So in theory, tamoxifen's effects on estrogen may add to any problems in blood sugar regulation.
Still, this is the first study to show a link between tamoxifen and diabetes. "So we definitely recommend that more studies be done," Lipscombe said.
And that, she noted, should include studies of younger women to see if the same association exists for them.
For now, she said, women on tamoxifen may want to pay particular attention to controlling any of the established diabetes risk factors they may have. That includes maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and exercise — "just like any other woman should," Lipscombe noted.
The researchers did find that women who had used tamoxifen in the past, but not currently, were at no increased risk of diabetes.
"We did not see the risk persist after women stopped taking the drug," Lipscombe said.
Nor did the researchers see a connection between diabetes and another class of breast cancer drugs called aromatase inhibitors—which also inhibit estrogen, though by a different mechanism than tamoxifen.
Lipscombe said it's possible that the lack of a link is due to the fact that few women in the study were using an aromatase inhibitor. More studies are needed to answer that question too, she said.
If tamoxifen does increase the risk of diabetes, it would not be the only side effect of the drug. It is known to carry small risks of blood clots, stroke, uterine cancer and cataracts, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
However, the agency says, the benefits of tamoxifen in treating breast cancer are "firmly established and far outweigh the potential risks."
Tamoxifen is the drug of choice for women with early-stage breast tumors that are estrogen-receptor-positive—meaning the hormone fuels their growth. Those tumors account for about 70 percent of breast cancer cases.
Along with treating cancer, tamoxifen is sometimes prescribed to lower breast cancer risk in women at higher-than-average risk of the disease.

LOS ANGELES — Authorities say a plastic bottle containing dry ice exploded at Los Angeles International Airport and caused a commotion that delayed a few flights.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says a chemical reaction led to the blast Sunday evening in an employee bathroom in Terminal 2.
No injuries were reported, but as a precaution authorities closed the terminal and examined the area for evidence.
Eimiller said the bathroom was in a restricted area of the terminal that was not accessible to the public.
Airport police Sgt. Karla Ortiz said officials temporarily halted security screening, which led to the delay of up to four departing flights.
Investigators were trying to determine how the bottle wound up in the bathroom.
