BACKGROUND: Delay to breast cancer diagnosis following an abnormal screening result is associated with anxiety and personal disruption. We assessed the patterns and timeliness of diagnostic follow-up after breast cancer screening for women with abnormal results who attended organized screening programs in 7 provinces. METHODS: Using data from the Canadian Breast Cancer Screening Database, we identified 203,141 women aged 50-69 years who underwent screening in 1996 through provincially organized breast cancer screening programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. We prospectively followed women with an abnormal screening result through to the completion of the assessment process. We evaluated the waiting times from screening examination to first assessment, from screening examination to first imaging, from screening examination to diagnosis and from first assessment to diagnosis for 13,958 women, stratified according to screening program, mode of detection, whether a biopsy was performed and whether cancer was diagnosed. RESULTS: We observed considerable variations between and within programs in the time to diagnosis. The median time from screening examination to first assessment was 2.6 weeks. The median time from screening examination to diagnosis was 3.7 weeks; this time increased to 6.9 weeks for women undergoing biopsy. Even when no biopsy was performed, 10% of the women waited 9.6 weeks or longer for a diagnosis, as compared with 15.0 weeks or longer for 10% of the women undergoing biopsy. Among the women who had a biopsy, the use of core biopsy was associated with a shorter median time to diagnosis than was open biopsy, and those found to have cancer had shorter waiting times than women with benign biopsy findings. INTERPRETATION: Women undergoing assessment of an abnormal breast cancer screening result waited many weeks for a diagnosis, especially when a biopsy was performed. To ensure that targets for timeliness, adopted nationally in 1999, are realized, improved models of care or dissemination of existing efficient techniques to reach a diagnosis will be needed.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about breast cancer screening practices or predictors of age-specific screening for Samoan women. METHODS: Through systematic, random sampling procedures, we identified and interviewed 720 adult (> or =30 years) Samoan women residing in American Samoa, Hawaii, and Los Angeles. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed to determine independent predictors for recent age-specific screening. RESULTS: Only 55.6% of women (> or =30 years) had ever had a CBE and 32.9% of women (> or =40 years) had ever had a mammogram. Furthermore, only 24.4 and 22.4% of Samoan women (> or =40 years) residing in Hawaii and Los Angeles, respectively, had an age-specific mammogram within the prior year. Independent predictors of age-specific CBE screening included age, education, health insurance, ambulatory visit, and being a resident of Hawaii or Los Angeles; those for mammography included ambulatory visit and awareness of screening guidelines. CONCLUSION: Population-based estimates of age-specific breast cancer screening among Samoan women are lower than the national objectives and those reported for other minorities. Targeted efforts that address doctor-patient communication on preventive behavior, improved access to health care services (especially in American Samoa), and focused educational awareness programs are needed to improve the dismal screening rates observed in this indigenous population.

TI - Mammography screening in single older African-American women: a study of related factors.
SO - Ethn Dis 2000 Autumn;10(3):395-405
AD - Department of Occupational and Preventive Medicine of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN, USA.
OBJECTIVE: Using baseline data from an intervention study, we examined cognitive, psychological, social and medical care factors in relation to the use of a mammogram in the preceding year among single African-American women aged 65 and older. METHODS: Study subjects were 325 African-American women aged 65 and older who were divorced, widowed, separated or never-married, and lived in ten public housing complexes in Nashville, Tennessee. In-person interviews were conducted to collect information on breast screening behavior, knowledge and attitude, social network and activities, emotional and psychological symptoms and signs, and medical care use. RESULTS: Compared with those who had not had a mammogram in the preceding year, women who had had a mammogram in the preceding year were three times more likely to have a regular doctor (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-5.0) and about six times more likely to have a doctor's recommendation for a mammogram (95%CI 3.4-11.1). In addition, they were more likely to: (a) have attended a meeting on breast health or received educational materials on breast cancer; (b) agree that a woman needs a mammogram even though she has no breast problem; (c) agree that a woman can have breast cancer without having symptoms; (d) have living children and grandchildren; and (e) attend social activities more frequently. CONCLUSIONS: While access to regular medical care and receiving a physician's recommendation are strongly associated with mammography among these older, single African-American women, education on breast health and social networks also appear to be influential.

OBJECTIVES: To highlight sociocultural factors reported to influence and strategies to promote breast and cervical cancer screening and early detection behaviors of racial and ethnic minority women. DATA SOURCES: Published articles, book chapters, and reports. CONCLUSIONS: The most successful strategies for promoting screening and early detection among racial and ethnic minority women are collaborative and include approaches that are culturally sensitive and appropriate. NURSING IMPLICATIONS: Intercultural and intracultural differences in racial and ethnic minority women challenge nurses to explore strategies that focus on the health care provider, the health care delivery system, and the individual woman within the context of the woman's culture.

TI - Low national breast and cervical cancer-screening rates in American Indian and Alaska Native women with diabetes.
SO - J Am Board Fam Pract 2000 Jul-Aug;13(4):239-45
AD - Epidemiology Program, Aberdeen Indian Health Service Area, Rapid City, SD, USA.
BACKGROUND: The cervical cancer mortality rate for American Indian and Alaska Native women is twice that of all races in the United States. To date the only published national breast and cervical cancer-screening rates for American Indian and Alaska Native women are based on self-reported data. When the Indian Health Service (IHS) conducts an annual audit on patients with diabetes, it includes cancer screening. This observational study presents national breast and cervical cancer-screening rates for American Indian and Alaska Native women with diabetes. METHODS: Cancer-screening rates were extracted from the 1995 diabetic audit for the 12 IHS areas. These rates were compared with rates for women without diabetes of the same age, 50 to 69 years, by chart review, at four IHS hospitals in the Aberdeen IHS area. RESULTS: Screening rates for women with diabetes in the 12 areas varied: mammogram (ever) 35% to 78%; clinical breast examination (last year) 28% to 70%, and Papanicolaou smear (last year) 26% to 69%. The Aberdeen IHS area women with diabetes had 51% more clinic visits per year than women without diabetes, but the groups had similar screening rates. CONCLUSION: Cancer-screening rates for American Indian and Alaska Native women vary by region. In the Aberdeen IHS area, women with diabetes had more visits (missed opportunities) but similar screening rates as women without diabetes. The diabetic audit could be used to monitor national IHS cancer-screening trends for women with diabetes and in the Aberdeen IHS area for all women aged 50 to 69 years.

Up to 10% of the breast cancers detected in the United States are related to an inherited germline mutation, usually in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, and the majority of these patients will at some point require surgical evaluation and/or treatment. Women who harbor a genetic predisposition for breast cancer face an increased risk for early onset disease, bilateral tumors, and other non-breast malignancies, such as ovarian cancer. These issues raise questions regarding the appropriate surveillance regimen, and the potential efficacy of risk reduction strategies that should be considered. Once a breast cancer diagnosis has been established, the prognosis appears to be similar to stage-controlled sporadic breast cancer, despite an increased prevalence of adverse primary tumor features. However, the role of breast conservation therapy for these patients and the optimal means of addressing the substantially increased risk for contralateral tumors is not yet defined. The reported literature in this area, including a discussion of the value of genetic counseling and genetic testing, is reviewed.

BACKGROUND: The recent identification of several BRCA1/BRCA2 founder mutations among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals has led to increased salience of BRCA1/BRCA2 testing for Jewish individuals. Little is known about interest in BRCA1/BRCA2 testing among Ashkenazi Jews from the general population. Furthermore, previous research has not generally evaluated the impact of education on interest in testing among individuals from the general population. The goal of the current study was to examine whether a brief educational booklet regarding BRCA1/BRCA2 testing would influence knowledge, attitudes, and interest in testing among Ashkenazi Jewish women from the general population. METHODS: After a baseline telephone interview, participants were randomized to receive either genetic testing educational print materials (n = 195 women) or general breast cancer education control materials (n = 196 women). One month after receiving these materials, the authors reassessed knowledge, attitudes, and interest in BRCA1/BRCA2 gene testing. RESULTS: Relative to the breast cancer education control materials, the genetic testing education materials led to increased knowledge, increased perception of the risks and limitations of testing, and decreased interest in obtaining a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation test. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that preliminary print education can be used to educate low-risk individuals about BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing. This approach may be used to educate low-risk individuals about the benefits and risks/limitations of BRCA1/BRCA2 testing, so that they can make informed decisions about whether to pursue genetic counseling.

BACKGROUND: The authors investigated the acceptability to women of the preventive strategies available for dealing with hereditary breast/ovarian carcinoma in France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, countries selected because of their cultural differences. The authors aimed to discover the existence of specific factors that may affect acceptability of these preventative measures. METHODS: A cross-sectional, multicenter survey was conducted in Marseilles, France (n = 141), in Manchester, England (n = 130), and in Montreal, Quebec (n = 84). All of the women attending cancer genetic clinics for the first time because of a family history of breast-ovarian carcinoma completed a self-administered questionnaire before their clinic consultation. RESULTS: Variations in responses to different preventative options presented on the questionnaire were seen within the sample of patients considered as a whole. The highest levels of acceptability were obtained for mammographic screening (87%) and chemoprevention (58%). In contrast, prophylactic oophorectomy and prophylactic mastectomy were thought to be acceptable at an early age (before 35 years), an age associated with the highest prophylactic efficacy, by only 19% and 16% of the respondents, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, the statistical data showed that the British respondents were more in favor of oophorectomy (P < 0.0001) and more in favor of chemoprevention than the French (P < 0.001) and the Canadian respondents (P < 0.001). The British (overall adjusted response [OR(adj)] = 3.9; P < 0.001) and Canadian respondents (OR(adj) = 3; P < 0.01) were more in favor of prophylactic mastectomy than the French. The cumulated acceptability of mammography before the age of 40 years was found to be greater in the French (OR(adj) = 2.8; P < 0.01) and Canadian (OR(adj) = 3.1; P < 0.05) samples than in the British sample. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrated the existence of international variations in the acceptability of the preventive strategies available for women at risk for hereditary breast/ovarian carcinoma. Therefore, these results suggested that when establishing medical recommendations or planning public health interventions, physicians must integrate the population's perception of advantages and drawbacks with the patient's individual decision making.

OBJECTIVE: The elimination of health status gaps among minority and low income populations is part of the mission of community health centers (CHCs). Cervical and breast cancer incidence and mortality are related to both minority and socioeconomic status, and CHCs are in a unique position, by virtue of their target population, to effect positive outcomes through screening and early detection. METHODS: Completed in 1995, the survey described in this article included questions from the 1992 NHIS Cancer Supplement, which collected information on the utilization of cancer-screening services, including Pap smear testing, mammography, and clinical breast examination. RESULTS: CHCs are providing access to Pap smear testing, mammography, and clinical breast examination for women who are at an increased risk for morbidity and mortality associated with cancers of the cervix and breast. A higher proportion of CHC women of most racial and ethnic groups and women below poverty level are up to date on cancer screening than comparison groups. In most cases, CHC women meet or exceed the Healthy People 2000 objectives for the nation.

Breast cancer is a serious problem in the developed world, and the common perception of the risks of developing the disease are communicated to the public via a variety of means. This includes leaflets in doctors' surgeries, health promotion campaigns and invitations from well woman clinics to attend for various forms of screening. The national breast cancer screening programme in the UK has a very high compliance rate (which is vital) and a well oiled media machine. This article examines the way in which the risks of developing breast cancer are communicated to women of all ages in the UK, and speculates as to the reason behind the misleading manner in which health promoters offer this information.

BACKGROUND:: Biomarkers are needed to refine short-term breast cancer risk estimates from epidemiologic models and to measure response to prevention interventions. The purpose of our study was to determine whether the cytologic appearance of epithelial cells obtained from breast random periareolar fine-needle aspirates or molecular marker expression in these cells was associated with later breast cancer development. METHODS:: Four hundred eighty women who were eligible on the basis of a family history of breast cancer, prior precancerous biopsy, and/or prior invasive cancer were enrolled in a single-institution, prospective trial. Their risk of breast cancer according to the Gail model was calculated, and random periareolar fine-needle aspiration was performed at study entry. Cells were characterized morphologically and analyzed for DNA aneuploidy by image analysis and for the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor, estrogen receptor, p53 protein, and HER2/NEU protein by immunocytochemistry. All statistical tests are two-sided. RESULTS:: At a median follow-up time of 45 months after initial aspiration, 20 women have developed breast cancer (invasive disease in 13 and ductal carcinoma in situ in seven). With the use of multiple logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analysis, subsequent cancer was predicted by evidence of hyperplasia with atypia in the initial fine-needle aspirate and a 10-year Gail projected probability of developing breast cancer. Although expression of epidermal growth factor receptor, estrogen receptor, p53, and HER2/NEU was statistically significantly associated with hyperplasia with atypia, it did not predict the development of breast cancer in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION:: Cytomorphology from breast random periareolar fine-needle aspirates can be used with the Gail risk model to identify a cohort of women at very high short-term risk for developing breast cancer. We recommend that cytomorphology be studied for use as a potential surrogate end point in prevention trials.

Mammographic screening may reduce breast cancer mortality. Not all women, however, come for examination. The objective in this study from Malmo has been to assess extent to which the rate of nonattendance varies between residential areas with different sociodemographic profiles. The study is based on 32,605 women, 45 to 68 years old and living in 17 areas, who between 1990 and 1994 were invited to screening. Between age groups, the age-specific nonattendance rate ranged from 31% to 35 % (P < .01). The nonattendance rate was highest for women 65 years or older. Between residential areas, age-adjusted nonattendance rates ranged from 23% to 43% (P < .01). A socioeconomic score was developed to express the socioeconomic circumstances in the residential areas and ranged from -7.18 in the most deprived area to 5.01 in the least. Nonattendance covaried in an inverse fashion with the socioeconomic score (r = -0.78; P < .01). One of three women in this urban population did not accept the invitation to mammographic screening. Our conclusion is that women in areas with less favorable circumstances seem to be less willing to participate.

The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) was developed to increase screening among low-income women who are uninsured or underinsured. This study reports early indicators of the effectiveness of this breast screening program in Iowa. Using data from the Census Bureau and the Iowa Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we found that racial and ethnic minorities aged 50 to 64 more likely were screened by the NBCCEDP than were their counterparts. Data collected by the Iowa BCCEDP showed a breast cancer detection rate (7.1 per 1,000 women screened) that was at least three times higher than its historical comparison, an indication of the lead time of the screened over the nonscreened population. Predictive values positive (referral and biopsy) and stage distribution were typically higher than for the national program but lower than in other countries. In conclusion, a breast cancer screening program among low-income women can be implemented successfully, judged by early indicators of program effectiveness.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence the effectiveness of interventions in increasing women's use of mammography screening programs. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review of studies published between 1966 and 1997. In this review, we recorded data about the year and country in which studies were completed, the study design, the methods for measuring screening rates, various sample characteristics, the nature of the intervention, and the resulting screening rates. The PRECEDE model was used as a framework to make distinctions between the various interventions. To synthesize evidence about the baseline screening rates and the effect of interventions on the incidence of mammography screening, we fit random-effects logistic regression models. These models revealed that more recent studies (those conducted from 1990 to 1996) were associated with higher screening rates (odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-3.9). Conversely, those designed to target older women (minimum age, 50-65 years) and those set in clinics exhibited smaller screening rates (OR, 0.6, 95% CI, 0.3-1.0, and OR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3-0.8, respectively). The meta-analyses also suggested methodologic issues that must be considered before the relative strength of various interventions can be assessed rigorously.

Women identified or suspected as carriers of mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 susceptibility genes have a high risk to develop an early breast cancer and thus, require appropriate management. Some consensus guidelines were provided for women at hereditary risk and two possible strategies of prevention are suggested: breast cancer screening and prophylactic surgery. We present the French recommendations for breast cancer surveillance and discuss the justification, indications and modalities of mammographic screening. Screening by annual mammography is recommended from age 30 years in experienced centers, in association with semi-annual clinical breast examination from age 20 years. These recommendations apply to women who were identified as carriers of a cancer-predisposing mutation of BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. In families for whom any mutation of the two genes could be identified, the same modalities apply also to women with a higher probability than 25% of being a carrier. We present here an illustration of the calculation of such probabilities from two example-pedigrees.

Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that lowers total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, reduces the risk of vertebral fracture, and is associated with a reduced incidence of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The Raloxifene Use for The Heart (RUTH) trial is designed to determine whether raloxifene 60 mg/day compared with placebo: (1) lowers the risk of the coronary events (coronary death, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], or hospitalized acute coronary syndromes other than MI); and (2) reduces the risk of invasive breast cancer in women at risk for a major coronary event. RUTH is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of 10,101 postmenopausal women aged > or =55 years from 26 countries. Women are eligible for randomization if they are postmenopausal and have documented coronary heart disease (CHD), peripheral arterial disease, or multiple risk factors for CHD. Use of estrogen within the previous 6 months is an exclusion factor. The study will be terminated after a minimum of 1,670 participants experience a primary coronary end point. Secondary end points include cardiovascular death, myocardial revascularization, noncoronary arterial revascularization, stroke, all-cause hospitalization, all-cause mortality, all breast cancers, clinical fractures, and venous thromboembolic events, in addition to the individual components of the composite primary coronary end point. RUTH will provide important information about the risk-benefit ratio of raloxifene in preventing acute coronary events and invasive breast cancer, as well as information about the natural history of CHD in women at risk of major coronary events.

PURPOSE: To examine the influence of frequency, duration, and intensity of physical activity on risk of breast cancer and to compare breast cancer risks associated with self-reported versus assigned intensity levels of activity. METHODS: A population-based case-control study of 1233 incident breast cancer cases and 1241 controls was conducted in Alberta between 1995 and 1997. The frequency, duration and intensity of occupational, household, and recreational activities were measured throughout lifetime using the Lifetime Total Physical Activity Questionnaire and cognitive interviewing methods. Unconditional logistic regression analyses were used to estimate odds ratios and a full assessment of confounding and effect modification was undertaken. Odds ratios for self-reported and compendium-based assigned levels of activity were compared for lifetime total activity and by type of activity. RESULTS: Breast cancer risk reductions were comparable when self-reported and assigned intensity values were used, although the results and trends were more evident with the assigned intensity data. Moderate-intensity occupational and household activities decreased breast cancer risk, whereas recreational activity, at any intensity level, did not contribute to a breast cancer risk reduction. CONCLUSION: This study found that moderate-intensity activities were the major contributors to the decrease in breast cancer risk found in this study and that risk reductions were more evident when the frequency and duration of activity alone were modeled. Of the three types of activity considered, the greatest risk reductions observed were for occupational and household activities.

It is demonstrated that screening mammography programmes reduce breast cancer mortality considerably. Nevertheless, radiology techniques have an intrinsic risk, the most important being the late somatic effect of the induction of cancer. This study was carried out in order to evaluate the risk to the population produced by the Comunidad Valenciana Breast Screening Programme. All the calculations are carried out for two risk models, UNSCEAR 94 and NRPB 93. On the one hand, screening series detriments are investigated as a function of doses delivered and other parameters related to population structure and X ray equipment. On the other hand the radiation induced cancer probability for a woman who starts at 45 years and remains in the programme until 65 years old is calculated as a function of mammography units' doses and average compression breast thickness. Finally, risk comparison between a screening programme starting at 45 years old and another one starting at 50 years old is made.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the results of the first screening round in the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program predict future mortality reduction and to explore the cost-effectiveness of the program. METHODS: The results of surrogate measures were calculated and compared with the targets. A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed assuming a nationwide program starting in 1996 with an attendance rate of 80% and a mortality reduction of 30%. RESULTS: The attendance rate was 79.5% and the detection rate was 0.67%. The proportion of invasive tumors smaller than 15 mm was 53.1%, and 21.7% of the patients who underwent axillary surgery had lymphatic metastasis. The C/E ratios were found to be 3750 US dollars (USD) per year of life saved and 86,045 USD per life saved. CONCLUSION: The results of the first screening round will lead to a mortality reduction of at least 30%. The cost-effectiveness analysis shows that it is possible to run a highly cost-efficient screening program in Norway.

Receiving a first cap for playing against the country of her birth was an unforgettable moment for La Toya Mason. She said: "I appeared against New Zealand in the first Test at Esher four years ago and was so nervous and emotional but it was also so amazing at the same time."
Auckland-born La Toya advanced to 33 caps when playing in the 20-16 win over Wales at Aberavon in the final match of the 2013 Six Nations in March. Her appearances include a starting place in the 12-try defeat of Kazakhstan in the 2010 WRWC pool match. She made her first Test touchdown in that game early in the second half after exploiting a gap on the left wing and shared in all of England's three consecutive Six Nations title triumphs from 2010-12.
She qualified for the Red Roses because all her grandparents were born in this country. Educated at Huapai Primary School, Massey High School and Auckland University of Technology, La Toya gained a Diploma in Sport and Recreation.
Her representative appearances include five for England A and her mentors have been Tammi Wilson, a former Auckland Storm and Black Fern player, Vania Lavea, a friend who gave her rugby guidance and the Marist Women's team. Tana Umaga, the former All Black, is her most admired men's player. La Toya's top ground is Liston Park, Auckland.
She added: "I would love to be involved in another World Cup and continue playing for as long as I can. I want to be an ongoing part of developing women's rugby."

We rode the rivers of the eastern trail
Deep in the land of the Rus
Following the wind in our sails
And the rhythm of the oars
No shelter in this hostile land
Constantly on guard
Ready to fight and defend
Our ship 'til the bitter end
We came under attack
I received a deadly wound
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
Now, here I lie on the river bank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone
I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound
Here I lie on wet sand
I will not make it home
I clench my sword in my hand
Say farewell to those I love
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Place my weapons by my side
For the journey to the hall up high
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory

Prinz Pi
Born Friedrich Kautz on October 23, 1979, in Berlin, Prinz Pi went by a number of different names in the German hip-hop scene, such as Doc Murdock, Doc Mabuse, Slick Spingo and Prince Porn One, before settling on the name that wouldn't lead reviewers to think he was peddling pornographic rap. His first CD -- with the group Die Beatfabrik (or Beat Factory) emerged in 2000, entitled Wort Shots. But his first appearance as a solo artist came a year earlier, at the age of 19, on the various artists album, Compilation Berlin. More album, single, EP and guest appearances followed, but problems over his use of the name Prince Porn 1 forced his hand, and in 2005 he opted for the safer Prinz Pi. By 2007, Prinz Pi had released more (or appeared on) more than twenty albums, including that year's Zeitlos (or Timeless), which was a top 100 seller. ~ Chris True, Rovi

8 Dangers of Dating on Vacation
Check out this great article by Self Magazine on danger of dating strangers while on vacation
Read MoreAt one point, as a single woman, you likely met a handsome, charming guy on summer vacation. Then, when he asked you out, you had this debate in your head: He's cute. But I know zip about him. And that Natalee Holloway case really freaks me out. He's just so charming. And kinda looks like Brad Pitt. But, really, he could be a total creep. Decisions… decisions…
To make sure we all play it safe this summer, we're going to follow these rules from Tina B. Tessina, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Romance), psychotherapist and author of The Unofficial Guide to Dating Again. You should too.
- Don't get hammered.
- Bring a friend along.
- Go someplace safe.
- Know your emotional limits.
- Don't look at yourself through your date's eyes.
- Look for integrity.
- Be very consistent and careful about your sexual safety.
- Know the signs of emotional blackmail.
Tips on Resistance Bands
Read MoreResistance bands are an inexpensive and highly effective way to add another dimension to your core training and strength workouts….
Resistance Band Tips:
- Posture: Resistance-band exercises will have you focusing on a certain muscle group, but don't forget about the rest of your body…
- Movement: Each movement with the resistance bands should be slow, gentle and controlled. Never let the bands snap back into place, but rather, softly guide them…
- Maintenance: Keeping your resistance bands in optimum shape will help you get the optimum workout. They should be stored loosely so they keep their shape in an area out of direct sunlight….

Seaside Summer Concert Series Wednesdays 7pm
Here is the June line up...
Ingram Hill will be performing in the Seaside Amphitheater along 30A on Wednesday at 7PM!
Head down to Seaside if you're in SoWal to enjoy this free performance!
Memphis-basedrock trio Ingram Hill would probably love to have it look as if theirlatest album, "Look Your Best," was as easy-breezy tocreate as the lyrics suggest, but lead singer/guitarist Justin Mooresays it was made with a great deal of hard work, determination, andgrit. "I think it felt like we were in a place in our careerwhere we really were going through a stressful time," says Mooreof the period after parting ways with their former major label home,Hollywood Records. "We were trying to get our stuff together,and we spent a lot of time and effort trying to make this as great aspossible. It's not like we haven't done that with all of our records,but this one felt like there was a lot more weight on it, on theprocess of making it. We gave it everything we had. It
seemed like an appropriate title. Wewere putting on our best for our audience, for our fans."
Going into the studio with producerRick Beato (Billionaire, Michelle Malone, Flickerstick, Shinedown) athis Stone Mountain, Georgia, studio was a bit of a no-brainer, as theband had worked with him on their first fulllength, 2004's "June'sPicture Show," which was the album that got them signed toHollywood in the first place and boasted two Billboard Top25-charting Hot AC radio hits ("Will I Ever Make It Home"and "Almost Perfect").
Returning to a place of comfort andfamiliarity, making a record where they could call the shotscompletely, made sense. Says Moore: "It was kind of awesome andscary at the same time. With our previous experience with a label[making "Cold In California"], there were a lot of cooks inthe kitchen. And that can just make for a diluted record.
And there are just so many opinions andit takes forever. So, this time it was left to us and Rick." Prior to entering the studio, Moore andguitarist Phil Bogard, the two songwriters of the group, set adeadline for themselves. Even though they already had some songskicking around in the Ingram Hill universe that made sense to record,they gave themselves a month to write at least 20 more. Says Moore:"Most of the songs on the record are from that month of writing.We're a good deadline band. So we busted our tails." Bogardadds: "The writing process was definitely more natural.Basically it was Justin and me working at our own houses, then we'dget together and collaborate. I'd be calling him every day going'I've got a song for you.' And he'd call me and say 'WellI've got one for you, too.' I feel closer to this record than any ofthem that we've done."
Toward the end of the writing month,Moore came up with what will be the album's first single, thepop-rock gem "As Long As I'm With You." "I wrote thatone," Moore says, "and when I played it for Phil, he went'That's what I've been waiting for out of you.' I've known Philfor the majority of my life, so it takes a lot to get a complimentout of each other. To hear that after we'd put together so many songsin three weeks, it made me feel good." Moore goes on to explainthe genesis of the song even further: "This song is for thatperson or the people who really kind of hold it together for you.When seemingly everything around you is falling apart, it's nice toknow that it's going to be okay because someone's got your back. Itdoesn't always have to be the same person, either. Sometimes it can be your best friend or significantother, and sometimes it can be a group of fans in the front row,smiling, dancing, and singing the words to your songs."

Just more childish publicity stunts from GetEQUAL. This latest stunt won't change any Senators mind or create any public support for our equality. This childish idea that we can "embarrass, humiliate or irritate people into submission" is delusional. Protest and civil disobedience are for problems the pubic ISN'T aware of. 98% of America knows about our struggle. If we keep up this childish behavior we will lose more support.
This small band of paid activists is really just trying to get attention so they can raise money. They have salaries of $90,000 per year and have already wasted $700,000. For most of these "actions" they fly people in from other cities. They have never attracted more than 4 or 5 participants for their 11 stunts.
This latest stunt was ignored by the mainstream media and most of the LGBT media. People have figured out these childish stunts don't help our community and only enrich a few self-described "activists."
Good on them for continuing to bring visability to the mean spirtedness of the Don't Ask Dom't Tell and the failure of elected officials including Obamam in addressing this unjust discrimination.
It takes a lot of guts to stand up for rights and get arrested but I guess if you have defended your country in war then you are tough.
> Thirteen gay activists arrested after White House DADT

Why no lesbians then? If they're too lily-livered to "pull a srunt" outside the Whitehouse then they are too lily-livered to serve in the military.
Oh, wait, maybe its just Pink News being its usal misogynistic self, invisiblising lesbians totally?
How do we shame the gay owner of Pink News into ending this invisiblising of everyone but gay men at every opportunity?

Stunt? STUNT?!!!!! Hey Pink News, that's what the Daily Mail/Filth of Fleet Street said the Suffragettes were doing when they campaigned for the vote; "pulling stunts". I hope you are proud of following such filthy precedents.

Dolman: Peter King tired of being GOP's 'punching bag'
For many Northeastern Republicans in the House of Representatives, life isn't so easy.
They're caught in the middle. To have genuine influence, they must go along to get along, often with hard-liners in the party who can seem angry about everything these days -- about government, about the president, about modern life in general. Some play the go-along game better than others.

John Boehner won a second term as Speaker of the House today. Condolences are in order. Who would want the job?
Boehner has been a leader without enough reliable followers for the two years since a cabal of tea party Republicans were elected, proclaimed compromise a dirty word and began doing all they could to gum up the works.

The top US finance official began meetings with his German counterpart and the head of the European Central Bank Monday, fuelling hopes Europe is readying decisive action to save the crisis-wracked eurozone.
BERLIN- US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner met Wolfgang Schaeuble on a holiday island off the north German coast amid pressure on Berlin to push for market intervention to bring down the spiralling borrowing costs of Spain and Italy.Afterwards, Geithner was to meet ECB chief Mario Draghi, who touched off speculation the bank would resume its controversial bond-buying programme by pledging last week to do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro.A spokeswoman for Schaeuble said it was "safe to assume the situation in the eurozone will be one of the topics of discussion" but that it was an "informal discussion" instigated by Washington.No news conference was planned after the meeting, but a written statement was expected.European markets gained ground Monday, following gains in Asia, as traders eyed a double intervention to help Italy and Spain -- from the ECB and the European rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility.These hopes were bolstered by a media offensive on the part of Eurogroup chief Jean-Claude Juncker who told major newspapers in France and Germany that Europe was preparing to take action to quell the more than two year crisis."We have come to a crucial point," he told Le Figaro."We will act together with the ECB," he vowed, adding that the "pace and scope" still had to be worked out."There is no more time to lose," he said, adding that policymakers would review the market situation in the coming days.Juncker's comments capped a flurry of verbal intervention from Draghi and top leaders in a bid to shore up confidence that Europe was not about to let the eurozone fall apart.German Chancellor Angela Merkel, seen as the linchpin of any possible crisis response, reiterated her determination to keep the 17-nation bloc together following a weekend phone call with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti.The two leaders "agreed that Germany and Italy will do everything to protect the eurozone," they said in a joint statement Sunday.That followed a similar statement on Friday by Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, throwing their weight behind the euro project after a week in which Spain looked increasingly likely to request a full bailout.Diplomatic efforts were set to continue as Monti announced he would meet his Spanish counterpart Mariano Rajoy in Madrid Thursday.The verbal broadsides appeared to be working as Italy held a successful auction of five- and 10-year debt at lower rates.Meanwhile, Spain insisted it was not planning to ask the eurozone to buy its bonds to drive down borrowing costs."In the end, the ECB will live up to its duty to prevent an escalating market panic that could shatter the eurozone and the ECB itself to pieces," predicted Holger Schmieding from Berenberg Bank."All eyes are now on the ECB meeting this Thursday," he added, as the governing council of the bank prepared for a monthly meeting in Frankfurt.Analyst Thu Lan Nguyen from Commerzbank however, sounded a note of caution, saying in a research note: "The markets seem hopeful ... even though it is all but clear how these good intentions are going to be implemented."Data from Spain dampened the optimism, reminding policymakers that the crisis continues to have a devastating effect on the real economy.The Spanish recession deepened in the second quarter of the year, with the economy contracting 0.4 percent after shrinking 0.3 percent in the first three months of 2012, statistics institute INE said.Further bad news came from the European Commission's Economic Sentiment Indicator showing that business and consumer confidence in Europe slid in July, with Germany suffering the biggest fall.And in Greece, the leaders of Greece's conservative-led, three-party coalition government were due to meet again to agree on 11.6 billion euros ($14.2 billion) of spending cuts to keep the country in the euro.Meanwhile, adding to the pressure on leaders to take action, a former heavyweight on the European political stage weighed in with a dire warning not to let the eurozone fall apart.Former British prime minister Tony Blair wrote an opinion piece in German mass circulation daily Bild, saying: "To give up the euro now would be a catastrophe economically, not just politically."

Hinrich Sachs's projects rarely limit themselves to a specific place orspace. Rather, they extend across public and private space, the exhibitionspace (art), the corporate sphere (companies, the media, consumerproducts), and the contemporary and the historical. In his work he combinesdifferent cultural domains in which language has a key role as a tool withwhich to communicate, to translate or to give meaning. Hinrich Sachsproposed two projects for Transit. Interest (piece) is a telephone searchfor the unknown whereabouts of the artist Ian Wilson who, in the 1970s,declared that his work from that moment on would only exist as 'oralcommunication'. Present (piece)is a gift from Sachs to Lisette Smit andMariette Dölle, the curators of the exhibition. The works of Guillaume Paris seem to be hybrid products: ambiguities ofcultures, sex, art and consumer products. In his ongoing project The NewPerishable Gallery, images of people on supermarket packaging are treatedas if they are unique individuals. Removed from the economical system theimages behave as portraits in this perishable gallery. Yvonne le Grand will present a sound sculpture based on one of theadventures of Nara Zoyd. Nara Zoyd is Yvonne le Grand's alter ego; anavatar with no past, only a future, with the Internet as her home base.Navigators can expect a new episode of Nara Zoyd's adventures and maycorrespond with her through the e-mail. This correspondence leads to thecreation of characters who are included in the serial. From this arises acomplex structure of fact and fiction, real and virtual presence, andchanging identity. The moment of perception plays a crucial part in the work of Asier PérezGonzález. This moment of signification is not fixed and is thereforedetermined as little as possible by the artist. Pérez González creates anumber of parameters within which the viewer may experience the work. InTransit Asier Pérez González concentrates on the logistics of theexhibition. In the work Silver Opening he has placed advertisementsoffering people a free cocktail if they appear at the opening dressed insilver. Casco Plastic Bag distributes 5000 plastic bags with the Casco logoto various locations in Utrecht.

I found a 16th January 1915 "The War Illustrated", edited by J.A. Hammerton. It is a stapled newspaper-type publication. Can anybody tell me more about this "magazine", and if it has any value, other than for interest?
The articles are mostly of the "fiendish Hun" variety, and the adverts are mostly for smokes! The photos and drawings are quite nice.

AeroTwin Engine to be Produced in New Zealand
Aeromotors Ltd., a New Zealand company, organized by former AeroTwin engine consultant and inventor W.L. White, plans to produce AeroTwin engines and develop new engines.
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirScooter Corporation's (OTC: ASCO) wholly-owned subsidiary, AeroTwin Motors reported that it has sold production assets and licensed improvements to establish AeroTwin(R) sport aircraft engine production in New Zealand.
Aeromotors Ltd., a New Zealand company, organized by former AeroTwin engine consultant and inventor W.L. White, plans to produce AeroTwin engines and develop new engines. Mr. White has arranged a combination of government and private funding. AeroTwin has no ownership in Aeromotors.
"There is vastly more business assistance for manufacturing available in New Zealand," said Dwaine Barnes, president of AeroTwin. "The regulatory and legal environment in the United States is not conducive for manufacturing aeronautical products. We determined that the transfer of production, while retaining exclusive sales agency rights for North America, was the best strategy to realize return on our investment."
The license, royalty and sale agreement terminates the 2003 manufacturing license originally granted by Pearson Motor Company Ltd. and held by AeroTwin related to base AT972 technology; licenses AeroTwin financed improvements to Aeromotors in exchange for future royalties payable to AeroTwin for ten years; transfers tooling and certain inventory for consideration including $200,000 payable to AeroTwin as new engines are produced; and, terminates obligations amongst AeroTwin, Aeromotors, Pearson, White and affiliates.
Barnes continued, "We have retained finished engine inventory to continue business in North America while production in New Zealand is established. Launching a new engine in this economy is a challenge and we are responding by working with customers in both the sport aircraft and hovercraft markets on product partnerships to gather operating data and seed the market. Now that we are no longer responsible for production we can focus on these activities."
"While we are operating with limited resources our plan is to support Aeromotors efforts to our mutual benefit and evaluate other possible business opportunities," concluded Barnes.

A Tunisian court sentenced Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali to life Wednesday for his role in the deaths of protesters during last year's uprising which toppled the veteran dictator and inspired the Arab Spring revolutions.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty for Ben Ali, who is exiled in Saudi Arabia, over the killing of 22 people while trying to douse the revolt in the two central cities of Thala and Kasserine.
The ruling came after a six-month trial at the military court in Kef, located about 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of Tunis.
Former interior minister Rafik Belhaj Kacem was also sentenced to 12 years in jail over the case.
Of the 23 senior officials on trial for killing protesters in the towns of Kasserine, Tala, Kairouan and Tajrouine, 14 were acquitted including Ben Ali's presidential security chief Ali Seriati and Ahmed Friaa, who was appointed interior minister shortly before the president fled.
Those acquittals are likely to provoke anger among the families of the victims who have waited almost 18 months for justice to served.
"The verdict is unjust. The sentences are light, these sentences have been affected by political pressure. The court has fallen into a trap," Chardedine Glail, the lawyer representing the families of the victims, told Reuters.
"How can Ben Ali get life when he is charged with a role in the deaths whereas Kacem gets 12 years when he is charged with killing."
"The judge could not fully read the verdict because of the ruckus," lawyer Abdelkarim Maghouri, who followed the trial, told AFP.
But judge Chokri Mejri said: "We tried to hand down a fair verdict, and nobody put any pressure on us. We were only guided by God and our own personal conviction."
Earlier Wednesday, a Tunis military court sentenced Ben Ali in absentia to 20 years' imprisonment on various charges including incitement to murder.
Ben Ali was found guilty of "inciting disorder, murder and looting," the court said in its verdict over the deaths of four youths, shot dead in the town of Ouardanine in mid-January 2011.
The weeks of protests that started in December 2010 toppled one of the most entrenched autocratic regimes in the Arab world and led to democratic elections in October that saw a moderate Islamist party rise to power.
The strongman's ouster toppled the first domino in the wave of protests which became known as the Arab Spring and is still sweeping the region.
Ben Ali faces countless trials and has already been sentenced to more than 66 years in prison on a range of other charges including drug trafficking and embezzlement.
He and his wife are the subject of an international arrest warrant, but Saudi authorities have not responded to Tunisian extradition requests.
Meanwhile, Tunisia's government has already faced criticism over its failure to persuade Saudi Arabia to hand over Ben Ali and his wife, a former hairdresser whose lavish lifestyle and clique of wealthy relatives came to be seen by many Tunisians as a symbol of the corrupt era.

GARDENA, Calif. — They call them freeways for a reason.
But one of the symbols of the American freeway — Interstate 110, which runs, or rather crawls, across central Los Angeles — is free no more. At precisely 10 p.m. Nov. 10, motorists faced a toll of up to $15.40 for the privilege of driving an 11-mile stretch of express lanes between Gardena and downtown Los Angeles.
In most parts of the country, it would be no big deal, hardly worth mentioning.
So never mind that tolls have been around as long as dirt roads and covered bridges, and that congestion pricing — as this is known — has become embraced by metropolises across the country to combat traffic and pollution. And never mind that its reach here is limited to lone drivers willing to pay up to $1.40 a mile, depending on traffic, for a money-back guarantee that their average speed will never drop below 45 mph.
This is the first toll in the history of Los Angeles County, a passage, as it were, and a jarring experience for a part of the country that has long celebrated the primacy of automobiles, not to mention the first syllable of the word "freeway."
"I've been living here my whole life," said S. Masani Jackson, as she waited on a 30-person line to buy the transponder required to enter the exclusive lanes. "And I have never had to pay for the 110 Freeway. It's ridiculous."
Miguel Chavez, 26, who lives in downtown Los Angeles, asked the question that has been reverberating across the city: "What else are they going to start charging us for?"
Los Angeles County is only putting a toe in the water. The toll applies to 11 miles of road, with another 14 mile-stretch on Interstate 10 to open next year. It is a one-year pilot program, funded by the federal government. Carpoolers (which is defined, generously, as a vehicle carrying two passengers), motorcycles and buses continue to ride for free. And the county has a nearby example to study, since congestion pricing began in neighboring Orange County in 1995.
Genevieve Giuliano, the director of the National Center for Metropolitan Transportation Research at the University of Southern California, said the increasing crush of traffic here, combined with cutbacks in federal highway construction funds, made these kinds of programs more urgent.
The tolls are the latest manifestation of a campaign by Los Angeles officials to challenge the primacy of the automobile to deal with congestion that has long been a threat to the city's vitality. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has advocated a sharp expansion of the region's subway system and encouraged the use of bicycles.
"People want relief," said Mark Ridley-Thomas, a Los Angeles County supervisor. "There's nothing complicated about it. Considering that LA distinguishes itself as the traffic congestion capital of the nation, we felt obligated to innovate, experiment, whatever we can do to make driving on the freeways more bearable."
Richard Galvaz, who lives in El Monte, said the toll was a fair price to escape what can be a 45-minute drive.
"It's worth it if you're in a hurry to get home," he said. "You got to pay the price. If not, get stuck in traffic. If you can't afford it, take the bus."
The $20 million expected to be raised annually by the toll is going to expand bus lines in the region. Still, in a city marked by stark differences in wealth, the notion of being able to pay to escape traffic rankles.
"Look where this is: South Central," Jackson, the longtime resident, said. "Why don't they do it on the West Side?"
There are similar programs in Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Houston, and, most recently, on part of the Beltway in Washington, D.C. Still, the relative modesty of the Los Angeles program has stirred questions about its ultimate effectiveness.
"I'm not too optimistic about major, big results for the Los Angeles project," said Robert Poole, director of transportation at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian policy research organization. "I hope I'm wrong. But I suspect that most of the users will be freebies. They won't collect very much revenue. And if only a small percentage of people are paying the charge, the impact on congestion is going to be small."

You took this photo with what????
I printed a few 12x18 images of a building in downtown Raleigh, NC where my friend lives. When I showed him, his wife, and a neighbor the prints, the unanimous response was that my Nikon (D300) takes really nice photos.
When I told them that I took the photos with one of my smaller cameras, my friend said, "Wow, you took that with that Panasonic mirrorless (GX1) camera"? I said, "Nope. the LX-5." He said, "No way!" I said, "Way." I love the LX-5! __________________

Noise? In this smaller version, I think what you see as noise is the grain in the actual stone material of the building, not noise. I just looked at my original image and the print. No noise.

Re: You took this photo with what????
Hi Friends
Theses cameras give very good results but I feel when you have to zoom quickly, you can not do, because these cameras have electronic zooming, you can not zoom manually, in DSLRs you can zoom within a fraction of a second manually . Only Fuji makes Prosumers cameras with manual zooming facility. Thanks ak __________________

Early indications are good for drought-tolerant corn
This year's brutal Midwestern drought is posing an unexpectedly difficult challenge for test plots of drought-resistant corn. So far the new varieties are showing promise, according to media reports.
About 250 farmers planted Monsanto's DroughtGard biotech variety on nearly 100,000 acres in the western Great Plains this spring, before anyone knew the drought would hit so hard. Yet Clay Scott, a corn grower in Western Kansas, says he is "excited" about the results so far. "We're starting to see some winners in the plots," he told Energy and Environment News.
DuPont Pioneer's AQUAmax hybrid variety is also in test plots, with farmers reporting good tasseling despite the drought. Test plots last year yielded seven percent more corn than conventional hybrids, the company said.
Neither company has ever claimed the new seeds are a silver bullet against drought, however.
"I don't think there will ever be a solution for this severe of a drought," said Mark Edge, DroughtGard marketing lead at Monsanto. "It's really about managing risk. It's still corn, and it still needs water." Read more.

Welcome to Temple Emanu-El
In May, we will collect new and gently used items for the Baby Boutique at Family Health Centers (FHC) of San Diego. Founded in 1970 by local activists, FHC offers health care to the community with a special commitment to uninsured and low income people. When they found that many of their patients receive prenatal care but did not attend post-natal appointments, they created the Baby Boutique.
When new mothers attend appointments on infant care, lactation support and nutrition, they receive "Baby Bucks," which may be used to purchase items in the Boutique. These items are provided entirely by donations from the community.
This month, we will collect items for newborns to age 18 months, including:
•Clothing, Bibs, Rattles, Pacifiers, Nursing Covers
•Diapers (newborn – size 4), Wipes
•Strollers, Feeding Chairs, Kangaroos/Carriers, Potty Chairs
•Car Seats (this item must be new, not used)
Bring your donations to the white barrel in the front office lobby of the Temple and we will deliver them to appreciative mothers through the Baby Boutique.
For questions or donations of items too large for you to manage, please contact Mitzvah of the Month chair Bill Seager at (619) 435-8130.
