Game of the Week: Sorcery
WHEN you think of boy wizards it's hard not to think of Harry Potter, but Sony's Sorcery certainly isn't a carbon copy of JK Rowling's creation.
In a medieval fantasy world you step into the shoes of a trainee wizard, accompanied by your talking cat, to battle trolls, banshees and fairies.
The Move peripheral (which basically means you can control games via movements, much like Nintendo's Wii) has been overlooked after the initial flurry of titles but here it's perfectly integrated into the game-play as you cast spells with the flick of a wrist. The controls are responsive and easy to use, even if the auto-targeting, camera and collision detection can be a bit frustrating at times. A fun diversion with an intuitive control system.

The monthly look aheads for June and May (but just the late part) showed that the Seattle Sounders were unlikely to continue that powerful run with which they started the season. The crowded schedule, quality of opponents and the amount of travel were some of the indicators that they would drop points.
The Rapids struggle to hold on to a playoff place all season and miss out on the playoffs in the last couple of games of the season.
Here are Wednesday's links, featuring FIFA Rankings, the 1924 USOC final, and some articles you may have missed in the FanShots.
Red Bulls Sign Brazilian Star Midfielder Juninho Juninho comes to New York from Brazilian First Division side, Vasco da Gama.
Sporting KC signs Claudio Bieler as Designated Player Bieler joins SKC from LDU Quito and was the second leading scorer in Ecuador this year with 20 goals in 34 games during the regular season.
On Wednesday night, Sporting KC defeated the Seattle Sounders in a penalty shootout to win the US Open Cup. The championship was the first piece of silverware for the organization since last winning the USOC in 2004.
With the USOC behind them, the club now aspires to add an MLS Cup Championship and CONCACAF Champions League trophy to their collection.
Both RSL and Vancouver need points this weekend. (Getty Images)
So how about that US Open Cup final last night? Tons of drama and excitement as Sporting Kansas City claim the crown for their first trophy since 2004. They knocked off the Seattle Sounders in penalty kicks ending Seattle's impressive run in the USOC since joining MLS back in 2009.
David Beckham returns from suspension to face the Portland Timbers (Getty Images)
The weekend has already gotten off to a bang. Trades are flying in left and right to shake things up. We'll see a new coach in Portland take over and the return of David Beckham from suspension. Dallas will also be looking for their first win in 13 matches as they travel to Colorado.
After a week off, the Power Rankings are back here at WVH. Only a few moves to really talk about this week as the top four remained in the top tier. Only one club moved up a tier while the bottom two clubs look like they could be joining the third tier here shortly.
U.S. Soccer has announced the possible pairings and locations� for the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.
All four MLS teams have a shot at winning the USOC with the Seattle Sounders going for their forth straight title. It won't be easy for them however.
FINAL Tuesday, Aug.
A 5-2 victory over the Harrisburg City Islanders will send the Philadelphia Union to their first ever appearance in the US Open Cup semifinals.
The Union jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead over the City Islanders, who are Philadelphia's USL-PRO affiliate team, in the first half of last night's game.
Portland looks to knock off rivals Seattle this weekend. (Getty Images)
After a slew of games last night in Major League Soccer, we get to quickly move into the weekend portion of Week 14. Just as it were a week ago, we'll have six games on Saturday and two on Sunday to cap off a busy, busy week in MLS.
I feel like it's been ages since we last did one of these weekly posts. Now that the mini-break is over, it is time to get back down to business here as the 2012 season rolls on into the month of June.
Week 13 sees plenty of decent games including one big rivalry game down in Texas and the MLS debut of Saputo Stadium in Montreal.
Seattle Sounders face off against Sporting Kansas City in the Lamar Hunt US Open cup Final tomorrow, in Livestrong Park. Sounders have won the Cup the last three years running, the biggest criticism of their success is that is that they have played a majority of their US Open Cup matches in Qwest/CenturyLink or Starfire Sports Complex in front of their home crowd.
The Brotherly Game talked with former MLSsoccer.com D.C. United beat reporter Travis M. Clark ahead of tonight's US Open Cup game against the Philadelphia Union. The current Top Drawer Soccer writer talked about various topics involving United and the USOC.

What: US Open Cup Fourth Round

The Philadelphia Union have had chances to prove they are better than their record.
[In the future, I'm going to try to write and post these reactions right after games. The PGR will be a supplement to recaps. This kind of post is part of a "rebirth" for the Brotherly Game that I've pondered lately, something I think is necessary for both myself and the site. Enjoy. - Scott, Mg Ed]

The Philadelphia Union won their first ever US Open Cup game, defeating the visiting Rochester Rhinos 3-0 in a rain affected game.
Keon Daniel started off the first half well, winning a corner early. The Trinidad and Tobago international was slightly hurt on the play and got up slowly and gingerly.

U.S. Open Cup midwest regional qualifying continues this Saturday afternoon, as Lafayette's FC Indiana heads up the road to take on RWB Adria at the Ray and Joan Kroc Center on Chicago's south side
As long as MLS sticks to the current schedule format - which involves each team playing each other team in its conference three times in the regular season - no Cascadia Cup competition will be as difficult as this one, at least in its scheduling. The Seattle Sounders have two of three on the road against both Portland and Vancouver.
Editor's note: We've asked the Sounders if they plan to have an online stream for this game and were told they are still assessing their options. Fox Soccer announced they plan to show the US Open Cup match between Sounders v Cal FC live next Tuesday at 7pm PT.

The Australian Central Credit Union is establishing best practice by introducing a competency framework to attract new staff.
"We are already seeing the results in recruitment and retention of quality staff," said Craig Walker, Senior Manager Human Resources at the credit union.
The Australian Central Credit Union has a network of branches and advice centres in three Australian states and territories. It has developed a skills recognition and training system for its staff covering three groups of competencies. The competencies are taken from the Financial Services, Business and IT Training Packages.
'It took us a long time to classify all our jobs against these national standards but we have discovered now there are software systems to make this much easier,' said Craig. 'We could have saved ourselves a year by using software like the Competency Navigator.
Now that the standards are in place, the credit union uses them to profile the qualities and skills required in new recruits and to develop interview questions.
The skills recognition model will occur in two stages: first staff self-assess and then their self-assessment is checked by their supervisors. The next stage being worked on is to introduce a professional development program that means staff competencies can be recognised externally.
'We haven't linked remuneration to achievement of competencies,' said Craig. 'But there is a direct link between training and promotion. If we find a staff member has a skill gap, we arrange training and, when we see the performance outcome of that training e.g. increased sales, then we reward the staff member with a pay increase.'
The credit union has partnered with Coffs Harbour e-learning company, Janison, to provide on-line training for staff. 'The other thing Janison has done is to develop a competency management system that interfaces with our HR system' said Craig. It means our staff can look on it and find a record of their jobs and training history. They will use this system to do their self-assessment as well.'
By introducing this competency framework, The Australian Central Credit Union has found a way to give staff a significant benefit and also to increase productivity and stay in front of competitors.

DWD board member Ruth von Fuchs has been closely following the Carter Case through the live webcast. Here are some notes and comments from Ruth about the day. Ruth Von Fuchs comments are italized and in [ ] brackets.
Tucker spent some time on the risks of error in decision-making by patients and doctors. Would there need to be a higher standard (i.e., less tolerance of risk) when death was expected to follow from the administration of a drug, instead of from the unimpeded progression of the patient's disease?

IBM bribe scandal that has been a headline item in that
country for the past three years.
We'll get into the fragrant details of the IBM affair shortly, but one remarkably constant feature in stories about corrupt money finding its way into secret bank accounts in Geneva is how seldom U.S. banks seem -- at least in the U.S. press -- to be substantively involved. Indeed, it's something of a miracle that with the annual total value of the U.S. cocaine trade estimated by the White House in 1995 to be $38 billion, and with the United States share being about 70 percent of global demand, there has never been any resolute effort by the United States press to ratify the obvious: Major U.S. banks have been up to their armpits in the drug trade for many years. | ||
The British
used to believe that their women were more
virtuous and their politicians more honest than all others,
and even though it hasn't been so long since the great
corporate bribery scandals of the '70s, epitomized by
Lockheed's adventures in Japan, there's a certain
chasteness in the press here in focusing on how U.S.
corporations comport themselves abroad. When the subject
does come up, it's couched in the forgiving thought that
since dirty foreign corporations try to buy their way into
markets with corrupting payments, it would be foolish --
unpatriotic, even -- for U.S. corporations not to do
The CIA, eager to justify its miserable existence by expanding into commercial espionage, buttressed this bribe- to- survive position by leaking estimates three years ago that bribery landed foreign companies $36 billion worth of business in 1994 at the expense of U.S. companies. Marring this rationale was the fact that in South Korea, General Dynamics was accused of handing out bribes to win a contract at the expense of McDonnell Douglas, and in Argentina, all of IBM's competitors for a contract with Banco Nacion (the national bank) were American. Back in 1993, Banco Nacion decided to computerize its entire operation. The bid specs were picked up by IBM and two rivals. But then, all of a sudden, Banco Nacion withdrew the specs and rewrote them in such a fashion that only IBM could satisfy the new criteria. In July of 1994, IBM won the contract, bidding a little more than $249 million. Six months later, an Argentine audit showed that $37 million of IBM's money had gone to pay a small Argentine company for "services." Why would IBM put out such a wad of money to get a $249 million contract? If IBM got the monopoly on hardware, software and services for Argentina's bank, its executives could reasonably assume that other banks might get the same equipment and services and so too might Argentina's Internal Revenue Service. In other words, $37 million might buy IBM the prize of furnishing the computerized data systems for all government and private banking functions. | ||
As the facts
were raptly discussed in the Argentine press,
notably La Nacion, in 1995, IBM HQ in Armonk, N.Y.,
preserved a stiff upper lip, with muffled language about
"instances where established business procedures and
management controls were either ignored or circumvented."
It's a big company, admittedly, but $37 million is not a
small sum, and the prime function of any home office is to
OK expenses and count the money.
For almost three years, an Argentine federal judge, Adolfo Bagnasco, tried to get Swiss banking officials to disclose how much money is hidden in numbered accounts containing IBM's alleged cash bribe to officials of Banco Nacion. The Swiss stonewalled and riposted by asking nasty questions about "disappeared" persons in Argentina. But on March 28, Bagnasco was told by Carla del Ponte, the Swiss "general procurer" -- an omnivalent title if there ever was one -- that she was giving him the green light. Soon, Bagnasco was hinting broadly that the Swiss accounts, code-named ABFICUS and FILASA, showed that the cash shooting around the world between Switzerland, Argentina and Luxembourg had actually originated in the United States. Bagnasco is demanding that senior IBM executives based in Armonk should come to Argentina to face questioning. There are already warrants out for four of them in Argentina, and Bagnasco threatens to issue an international order for arrest, meaning that like Argentine torturers, IBM execs will never dare leave their own jurisdiction. Maybe the Argentines will put some of their old torturers to work, sending them up as kidnapping squads to infiltrate Armonk and heist the CEO and his lieutenants, just as Bush did with Noriega. No one will be safe. Argentina is convulsed with this story. In the United States, all is sedate calm. There is a federal prosecutor, Kerry Lawrence, in White Plains, N.Y., looking into the alleged bribery scandal in the context of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Argentina has had its commotions over the "disappeared." There are vanished people and also vanished billions in whose cause, ultimately, those "disappeared" men and women were murdered. Untold billions slithering their way from bank to bank, the criminal surplus of the world system.

I can understand that you might want to direct and concentrate discussion on your Charter where it is easier for folk to read and respond to it.
I am just wondering whether this necessarily requires abandoning UnionBook. There are here, as you know, at least two spaces in which the future of the labour movement might be discussed - those of Orsan and of myself.
I am myself wondering how to actually develop such spaces and am aware that so far they have been so developed primarily by items pasted respectively by Orsan and myself! So there is clearly a challenge here.
And I am hoping that AAWL, or, for that matter, Sigtur, will contribute to such efforts on UBook.
Time to leave UnionBook ?
Hello comrades
We are considering shutting down our AAWL at UnionBook Group and moving our discussions about the Global Labour Movement Charter to our AAWL at facebook page.
The reason is that many comrades have said it is hard to get into UnionBook, and that it is hard to navigate and use.
It is clear that our AAWL at UnionBook discussion page on the Global Labour Movement Charter has had minimal participation, however there is a great deal of interest on this document in real life discussions.
If you have any opinions it would really help to hear them. We have received important proposed amendments to the Global Labour Movement Charter and we also intend to link it to a new International Industrial Action & Solidarity document which is being prepared for publication.
Having a real international discussion to develop joint documents is important, and we need to find the best place to achieve this.
In solidarity

For the last four years, 26 major U.S. corporations have made billions in profits but paid nothing in federal income taxes. But corporations aren't just dodging taxes on their own behalf, they're helping their chief executives do it too.
Major corporations like Ford, Halliburton, Kraft, and others either require or recommend that their CEOs travel on private jets, for both business and personal travel, for "security reasons." Some corporations also pay for home security systems, 24-hour surveillance, chauffeurs, and other perks, all in the name of safety. But as New York Times DealBook columnist Steven M. Davidoff notes, the CEOs aren't really in imminent danger. Instead, paying for security and private travel "is a common corporate tax trick":
It's a different case for personal travel. In those cases, chief executives are required to pay income tax on the imputed portion of the flight — that is, the amount the company paid for the flight. So a chief executive who is a frequent flier can rack up a rather large tax bill.
Luckily, the tax code offers executives a break.
If an outside security consultant determines that executives need a private jet and other services for their safety, the Internal Revenue Service cuts corporate chieftains a break. In such cases, the chief executive will pay a reduced tax bill or sometimes no tax at all.
Corporate taxes in the U.S. have fallen to a 40-year low, while the wealthiest Americans are paying historically low tax rates. And yet, both groups are finding new ways to pay even less in taxes, even if it means making actual taxpayers subsidize their travel and "security."

There's something about an Aqua Buddha ad.
You've probably already heard the one about the Democratic candidate who questioned his Republican opponent's claims to Christian faith. Republicans are shocked, shocked that a Democrat would go after a member of Christ's party, as if everyone doesn't already know that Democrats would hate God if only they believed in Him. Even some liberals have hopped the outrage train. Democrats don't do religious attack ads, lest they give the impression that there are religious tests for office, or signal that voters care much about a candidate's faith.
Here's the thumbnail: Democrat Jack Conway is running against Republican Rand Paul to represent Kentucky in the Senate. During Sunday night's debate, they traded barbs over an ad Conway is running that says Paul, who sought and obtained the endorsement of James Dobson after proving his prolife Christian mettle, belonged to a "secret society that called the Bible a hoax," a group that was "banned for mocking Christianity and Christ." The ad also says Paul "once tied a woman up," telling her to "bow down before a false idol and say his god was 'Aqua Buddha.'" During the debate, Paul went the "have you no decency, have you no shame?" route, and Conway flatly said, "You don't have the guts to stand by your positions."
Some liberals echoed Paul's response. Jonathan Chait called the ad illiberal, lamenting its "sickening premise" for coming "perilously close to saying that non-belief in Christianity is a disqualification for public office." (Chait also helpfully reminds readers that Paul is a devotee of another, less Christian-friendly Rand.) Others find liberal opposition to the ad "prissy," and applaud Conway for hitting Paul where he's trying to live. Who's right? I suspect Chait is exaggerating the ad's implications. I'm with Mark Silk, who notes that if a candidate is going to run on his Christian faith then his opponent is well within his rights to say "explain these things"–especially when these things entail membership in a group that called the Bible a hoax, and participating in a hazing prank that forced a presumably Christian woman to blaspheme. Mark concludes:
Democrats have tended to respond by saying, "But we're religious too." So because the religion card is being played by everyone, I'd say that if there's reason to question its face value, let the questioning go on.
Of course, this smoke might clear if Paul denied Conway's charges. But he hasn't, and, as Factcheck noted, he really can't. The only problem in Conway's ad, according to Factcheck, is the claim that Paul wants to end tax deductions for religious institutions. That, at least, is something Paul's campaign denies.
For my part, this controversy is a tempest in a shave cup, and it distracts from what may truly be the worst political ad of the 2010 cycle, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's attack on his Republican challenger Bill Brady:

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Designer drugs known as bath salts are used for a cheap and easy high but come with costly consequences.
Just two nights ago, Bluebird Salon was trashed by a man who threw shelves to the floor and chased clients out of the store. The owner says police told her he may have been high on bath salts.
Lompoc prison guard Timothy McNally is on trial for a murder of a fellow guard earlier this year after the two had allegedly been using bath salts.
In August, a man accused of stealing a cop car, crashing into cars, stores and people also believed to be high on a powerful stimulant drug.
So why would anyone want to try it?
"(They) want to use something to get them out of their head," says San Luis Obispo Drug and Alcohol Specialist Lauren McCraken. "Use something to get a high that may or may not show up positive on a standard drug screen."
Due to the evolving chemical mixtures, synthetic drugs can bypass regular drug detection, making them even more accessible to abuser.
"And as the chemicals are always changing the people that manufacture the bath salts are continually one step ahead," says McCraken.
In July, the president signed a law to ban all synthetic drugs but drug specialists say the hardest part is keeping up because the chemical compounds keep evolving.
Drugs specialists say they do have tests that can detect the chemicals used in bath salts but those tests are costly and authorities must know what chemical to test for.
The drugs high also mimics effects of street drugs like ecstasy and cocaine but can come at a severe cost.
"Go into a psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations," says McCraken. "And even though the affects of the bath salts wore off that effect remained."

One of the greatest rivalries in college football took place last Saturday night as the Tennessee Vols hosted the Alabama Crimson Tide in the mammoth caverns of Neyland Stadium.
It was a sellout crowd of 102,000 fans on a perfect fall evening.
The orange gladiators of the gridiron took the field running through the T formed by the band at the north end of the stadium.
The atmosphere was electric and very loud. It remained that way until 8:44 in the first quarter when Tennessee runner Tauren Poole tore off left tackle and exploded with a 59 yard romp for a Volunteer touchdown.
The crowd noise then went to a deafening level.
Freshman kicker Michael Palardy then made the PAT and Tennessee led the 7th ranked Tide 7-0.
The entire stadium came unglued. Tennessee fans were hysterical as Alabama fans sat in silence with shocked facial expressions.
Alabama answered with a 36 yard field goal by Jeremy Shelley with 4:04 left. Tennessee still led at the end of the quarter 7-3.
In the 2nd quarter Tennessee traded 3 for 10 and the score at halftime stood 13-10 Alabama.
The second half began and reality set in. Alabama's superior depth, talent and size took over as the Tide scored on their first four possessions and the game was all but over.
Alabama's drives culminated for 70, 65, 80 and 80 yards with each drive containing at least one big play.
At the end of the 3rd quarter, the score stood 34-10 Alabama after 21 unanswered points.
The Crimson Tide added on more insurance touchdown in the fourth quarter to make the final 41-10.
"We played a really outstanding football team tonight," Tennessee Head Coach Derrick Dooley said. "We fought them pretty hard for 30 minutes; scrapping and fighting and then we came out the 3rd quarter and gave up a couple of big plays.
"We made some bad decisions and the game got away from us.
"We're just going to keep working on improving; that's all we can do. We're struggling to stop anybody right now."
On Saturday Tennessee faces the South Carolina Gamecocks at Columbus, South Carolina. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m.

For some, the girls all-star basketball games in Gallup today are one more shot at a possible chance to play college ball. For others, it's a last hoorah before turning to non-hoops ventures.
Put Clovis High's Brittany Johnson in the former category and Clovis Christian's Jennifer Schaap in the latter.
Saturday afternoon, the Class 1A-2A North/South All-Star contest will be staged in Gallup beginning at 3 p.m.. Following that, the all-star selections from Class 4A and 5A will take the court for their game.
Johnson was the lone pick from a Clovis team that advanced to the 5A state quarterfinals. She'll join the likes of Roswell's Chantale Riddle and Mayfield's Jenna Franzoy on the South squad Saturday.
According to CHS coach Jeff Reed, Johnson has received partial scholarship offers to a pair of small colleges, but not enough to offset the cost required to attend those schools. Reed says that Johnson would still like to play college ball if possible.
"You've two roads you can go with an all-star game. You can either be the ballhog and be a flashy person or you can be the person who rebounds, passes the ball and does the little things," Reed said. "Some of the college coaches might look beyond the flash and see who's doing the fundamental stuff."
A hard-nosed player while with the Wildcats, Johnson was as apt to dive to the floor for a loose ball as she was to take an open jumper.
"But I did tell her the biggest things was to go have fun with it," Reed said.
Clovis Christian graduate Schaap earned a scholarship to play volleyball at Eastern New Mexico University next fall and, in all likelihood, the all-star tilt will be her last bit of organized basketball action.
Max Kralicek, the Clovis Christian girls coach, also was the coach for the small-schools South all-star squad a year ago. Like most coaches who have selections to the event, he plans on driving to Gallup — this time just to watch.
"She needs to just be herself, you know," said Kralicek on his advice for Schaap. "As a coach, you just tell the kids that, 'Hey, you got here because you're a good player. You just need to go out on the floor and just play your game.'"
Fort Sumner has two selections to the 1A-2A South squad in recent grads Rachael Chavez and Bree'Anna Lucero while Dora's Tearney O'Connor will be the lone representative for her school.
Likewise, Holly Harrison was the only pick from Texico to the event that features the best of the most recent senior class in New Mexico.
"It's always nice when you get some seniors to represent you and Holly did a good job for us this year," Texico girls basketball coach Ryan Autrey said. "I think the rest of the state recognized that and she was lucky enough to get picked up."

Fellow managers — you are almost done with registration! Below is a template letter to thank the parents for their help. You may need to modify or otherwise update based on your own experiences.
; )
Dear [Team Name] Parents,
Thank you for reading all of my many emails and for answering my many phone calls this summer as I register the team for the 2011-2012 season.
With your help, I will have a pristine packet of papers to give the registrar in the next few days that will result in your child being officially rostered to the [Team Name] and able to play this fall. It should be a great season!
I want to take a few minutes to thank everyone!
Thank you for understanding that "original" meant "original" and not copied (even if in color), notarized, or "close enough".
Thank you for understanding that "please send me a clear photo of your child" did not mean a black and white fuzzy printout.
Thank you for understanding that the deadlines I set to get stuff to me at my house or at practice were firm and not just guidelines.
Thank you for not making me send multiple follow up emails and voice messages trying to find out where you are for several weeks in order to get the paperwork done and not acting like it is my fault that you are out of town.
Thank you for not making me drive all over the county to track down your child's signature a second time because, after being instructed to use her full name, she signed with her nickname (or printed or missed a signature space).
Thank you for realizing that an inaccurate birth date or misspelled name is actually a big deal to the registrar and will likely cause them to ask me to pick up the whole packet and track you down to sign updated paperwork again even though it is "just" one number or letter and c'mon, these kids are only 12 years old!
Thank you for getting the medical forms notarized even though it is indeed a pain.
Thank you for not using excuses about vacations, sleepovers, dogs eating birth certificates or other documents, not having any "good" photos, or running out of printer ink over the last four weeks.
Thank you for double-checking the forms yourselves and not relying on me to find errors and missing information.
Thank you for understanding that I too have a full time job and family vacations and children who have summer camps and other time commitments.
Thank you for understanding that I am actually trying to make this as easy as possible for you and that I don't make the rules.
Thank you for understanding that I also make mistakes and not jumping on me immediately about them.
Thank you for realizing that there will be date in the very near future on which I will have register the team and if I don't have what I need from you before that date, your child won't be a member of the [Team Name] this fall.
[Your name]
Michael H
5:54 am on Tuesday, August 23, 2011
Registration packets are done and submitted to the registrar. Fingers crossed that it all comes back OK. Next up - Tournaments!
6:22 pm on Wednesday, August 24, 2011
I'm just about to hand in the registration packets for our team. So glad it's done!
Michael H
8:55 am on Thursday, August 25, 2011
Congratulations, LB! Any thoughts on what topics might be useful for new managers?
8:58 am on Thursday, August 25, 2011
Maybe you can write something about what else a new manager can expect as the season starts? I really have very little information about what my responsibilities are now that registration is completed. Thanks!

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is the optimal screening for a 23 year old with a mother that was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old?
Kevin R. Fox, MD, Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Optimal screening for such a patient would consist of regular physical examinations by a qualified breast cancer specialist. You might also be a good candidate for a research study of MRI screening of the breasts in an appropriate institution. You might also consider genetic counseling for BRCA1 or BRCA2 testing since these are associated with breast cancer development at an early age. Mammography is not a very good screening method in women less then 40 years old because the breast tissue has a very high density and makes the images difficult to interpret.

Backpacker's Pantry Santa Fe Chicken

User Reviews

Price Paid: $9
Made this on a recent backpacking trip with two fellow hikers and it found no fans.
Of the three of us, I liked it most and found it OK to eat. Another hiker ate half his serving and swore off and the third just took a pass and had more ramen.
My impressions: Rice is good, chicken is tasteless and cooked almost to the point of being jerky, sauce has a funky aftertaste.
I wouldn't buy it again as I think there are plenty of other backpacker meals (ChiliMac and lasagna come to mind),
As part of our outfitting trip in the BWCA this meal…
Price Paid: not sure
As part of our outfitting trip in the BWCA this meal was included. Backpacker's Pantry Santa Fe Chicken With Rice is very tasty. Especially if you enjoy Southwestern or Mexican cuisine.
Our biggest complaint was that no matter how long we let it "cook" in the bag the black beans and rice were still slightly crunchy.
I love these cook in the bag meals. Little mess to clean up and little trash to pack out.
I'd eat it again, but might let it stand longer than the recommended time.

For anyone still wondering whether brands have found their way into the consumer psyche on the most visceral, street level, they should have a look at this:
A Dramatic Surprise on a Quiet Square
If you're not one of the 23 million-plus people who have already seen this video, it's basically a street event organized by the movie network TNT to promote its launch in Belgium.
It takes place in a quiet square in a town in Belgium. A passerby pushes a button – under a sign that says "PUSH TO ADD DRAMA" – and all hell breaks loose. The event, which went viral on YouTube and a very wide blog network, is promoting the fact that TNT provides great TV drama.
Apart from the pure creativity, what is really remarkable – and very telling – about this story is the way people in the street reacted. Five or 10 years ago, we surely would have heard gasps and seen frightened faces and people running for cover.
We see none of that. In fact, people are intrigued and receptive. They are ready for anything, which only shows the degree to which consumers have come to embrace, and maybe even expect, brands to be speaking to them on this level of immediacy and intimacy.
Such experiential marketing, fuelled by social media, has made the brand experience more real, more perpetual and more ubiquitous than ever before.
So, is this TNT brand initiative a commercial?
Not in the traditional, 30-second, glossy-actor-filled sense of the word.
But in today's marketing environment, where anything and everything can become a commercial message and find a mass audience, the TNT stunt-turned-video is a perfect example of where one part of our commercial world is heading.

A case of sour grapes!
Another case of sour grapes
PTI[ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2003 11:07:48 PM ] LONDON: Ashish Nehras splendid bowling performance in the World Cup match against England came in for praise by the British media on Thursday but a sour note was sought to be introduced by a leading daily which churlishly suggested that the anti-doping unit should be alerted immediately. Ashish smokes out sorry England was a typical headline in the morningers which also said that England choked again when it mattered the most. Like other papers,The Guardian praised the stupendous spell of fast bowling of Nehra but in a curious comment its correspondent said the anti-doping unit should be alerted immediately; a cricketer surely could face suspension for having traces of a performance-enhancing drug in his name. This comment will revive the perennial debate whether the Englishmen are whiners which was sparked off by Sunil Gavaskar who had termed the England team as champion whingers during their tour of India for persistently complaining about the facilities and itinerary. Pitter-pattering in, Akram-like, from Kingsmeads Umegeni End, Nehra found pace and, crucially, movement that for the most part had eluded Englands bowlers before the daylight went and the pitch greened up in the evening air,The Guardian said. Yet another daily, The Times, compared 23-year Nehra to Pakistan speedster Wasim Akram at his most inspired. |

Speculation and Rumors are stupid. I wouldnt worry about it Nehrafan and other fellow Indian supporters, British Tabloids are generally full of crap anyway.
Its because of genuine hard work and determination to be a good bowler. Not everything is done through a back door.

Ashish sounds quite like Hashish (another word for Cannabis) The writer was joking about his name, that's all! He was not casting a slur on anyone - just trying humour!

Newspapers over here are usually full of un-funny puns and, as MB said, loads of crap. Don't worry about it. I've read that Nehra only got his haul because of the lights, which has some truth in it as when the English bowlers bowled earlier in the day there was no swing despite Anderson defeating the Pakistanis for swing a few days earlier. But to say it was all because of the lights is missing the point. Ok the match was curtailed by the lights but they still bowled well.
As for a case of sour grapes, I've seen worse, and it involves pictures of players and fire...

Eight And A Half - Eight And A Half
Album Details
- Artist: Eight And A Half
- Album: Eight And A Half
- Label: Arts & Crafts
- Year of Release: 2012
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: tosnob on 2012-03-26
It's a shame when a beloved band breaks up. However, as they say when one door closes another one opens.
In this case the door that opened is the Toronto-based Eight And A Half. The band is the new project from Justin Peroff (formerly of Broken Social Scene), and Dave Hamelin and Liam O'Neil (previously of The Stills). The group release their self-titled debut full length on April 10th.
Dreamy and textured is the aura for this record. That tone is set with the opening instrumental "When I Was Twenty Nine", a track that twinkles as it cascades over you.
The lead single "Scissors" features restrained vocals that float above a methodically hypnotic electronic arrangement. "Walked Into Diazepene" settles into a groove that will have you in a head-bopping trance-like state.
Eight And A Half manages to keep the sound fresh and engaging. This is a style that has a tendency to become grating over the course of an entire album. The band avoids that trap by adding dynamic swings, such as the soaring "Oh, My Head". Elsewhere "Go Ego" peculates during the verses before bursting out for the unorthodox yet catchy chorus.
It's not all nebulous, ethereal 'mood' music. An element of rock creeps in to "Two Points" as the vocals attempt to pull away from the reins of the arrangements in a delightfully tense struggle. "Took A Train To India" pairs a melodic synthetic string sound with garage rock-style percussion.
In avoiding the traps of a genre that can be iffy, Eight And A Half manage to produce a record that takes a these musicians in a completely different direction from their previous bands. That's not a bad thing at all.

CPI vs. Rent Percentage Change Month-over-Month 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% Rent 1.8% CPI 3.3% Existing Condo Median Sales Price $200,000 $175,000 Price Rent 2.6% $165,500 $172,900 $150,000 CPI 0.4% 0.0% -2.0% May Jun.

'11 '12 CPI vs. Rent: Housing costs, as measured by the shelter index, continued their gradual march higher by climbing 0.2 percent for the tenth time in the past 11 months, and increasing a modest 2.2 percent compared to April 2011. With prices for single-family hous-ing beginning to stabilize, rental costs have become a point of focus as households make the decision to own or rent, and as available apartments have become more scarce in recent quarters. NAHB's measure of real rental rates is constructed from the CPI for rent of primary residences and overall CPI. This index increased 2.1 percent on an annualized basis in April, and registered its fi rst year-over-year increase since October 2009. Relatively stronger increases in energy prices had masked the impact of rising rental rates, but declining prices across much of the energy complex could foster stronger gains in real rents. Existing Condo Median Price: According to the National Association of Realtors, the seasonally adjusted annualized rate of condominium and co-op sales rose 6 percent from March to 530,000 units. On a year-over-year basis, sales climbed 10.4 percent and have averaged nearly 525,000 units through the fi rst four months of 2012. This marks the strongest four-month average pace in more than a year. The (sea-sonally adjusted) median sales price for existing condos and co-ops surged to more than $175,000 during April, which represented the highest reported price level in two years—a period in which prices were bolstered by the federal government's homebuyer tax credit.

Who isn't talking about education these days? While the federal government and state goverment officials struggle with finding solutions to the nations's education problems, students need to learn every day. Regardless of the direction of the nation's education agenda, there are dedicated professionals working with students in classrooms every day. There are parents homeschooling their own students. There are students in public schools, in private schools, in magnet schools, in charter schools, in parochial schools, and dropping out of schools at record rates.
What role should technology play in education? What benefits does technology bring to education in general? How can technology start to help attack some of those state and national educational issues from the ground up? My experience and background, as well as my common sense, tell me a few things about technology:
- Technology is motivating – who doesn't love the latest tech toy or tool?
- Technology can enable – it helps to level out the playing field for more students
- Technology removes barriers – of space, time, location
- Technology in the hands of students and teachers can support school and student success
Student-Tech Synergy has three goals:
1. Spark discussion and thought about the role of technology in education
2. Direct discussion around uses of specific technologies for specific purposes to achieve goals
3. Identify strategies that districts, schools, teachers, parents, and students can use to support individual student success using technology

I thought it was going to be some boring old site, but I'm glad I visited. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
Thank you for taking the time to write this!
Hello! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics? Many thanks!

Competition is a good thing, right? Competition fueled the growth of cable and satellite services as each one tries to outdo the other. Unfortunately, at least one lucrative market is a virtual monopoly, and one competitor has been sitting back, getting fat, rich, and lazy. Wanna venture a guess at who's been raking in the dollars, with no incentive to add features, improve customer service, or even provide decent programming options? And do you wanna know what's coming up that's going to scare the pants off them?
Until now, apartment dwellers have been SOL when it comes to
satellite service. While the FCC has forbidden outright exclusivity in
apartments, landlords have had the final say in the matter. Sure, you can put
up a satellite dish, but try it without drilling into a wall or roof. Some
lucky folks might have a balcony, but the odds that the balcony is facing the
southern satellites, and has an unobstructed sky view, are slim to none.
Here comes DISH Network to the rescue. They've just
announced the "DISH Optical Network" that provides "fiber to the home" for
multiple subscribers in a dwelling. Programming is delivered via satellite to a
base unit that sends out up to 400 HD channels to as many as 128 subscribers,
each of whom can have 6 standard single-tuner DISH receivers. The apartment
building cable/sat market just got a lot more competitive.
The fine print: the 400 HD channels is
optimistic—currently, they only have plans for 100 high-definition channels by
the end of 2008. And, DISH will require an equipment investor model that is
based on guaranteed subscribers. If your landlord won't let you drill a couple
of holes in a wall, what makes you think he's gonna put his neck on the line
for DISH? Price is still under wraps, and the technology isn't going to be
launched nationwide yet. But in spite of the obstacles, DISH Optical Network is the
real deal. Cable better snap out of the cognac and cigar-induced nap and take
notice.—Leslie Shapiro
