With roughly a week to go before draft day speculation is running rampant, and misdirection has become the soup du jour. The Raiders, beneficieries of the worst record in the league, are playing games with the first overall pick, flirting with both JaMarcus and Calvin Johnson (who shall henceforth be referred to as The Second Coming in this post). Which is awfully egotistic yet quintessentially "Al Davis" of the Raiders. But fret not Bucs fans, this can only benefit our team.
File this under wishful thinking, but the Raiders are almost certain to draft the Herculean JaMarcus, who more closely resembles a tree trunk gifted with a trebuchet for an arm. Al Davis has an infatuation with the deep ball which is why he brought Randy Moss, and then Kerry Collins to town. The Second Coming may be awfully tempting but even Al Davis can not have his cake and eat it to, the Raiders pick will be JaMarcus.
In the interim, teams are a hell of a lot less likely to work a trade with the Lions if they think The Second Coming may come off the board before pick number two. It's no secret the Lions want to trade down (or up right Plugs?) and everyone wants to trade up for rights to The Second Coming. Although, on a side note, I find it interesting everyone seems to be assuming Matt Millen won't pick a receiver considering he has done so in the first round the last three years and the Lions still have a need at receiver. By comparison, if you walk past a house and get bit by the same dog three straight days, wouldn't you expect the dog to bite you the next day? But I've veered off topic....
As I was mentioning before the latest rumor mongering involving the Raiders can only benefit the Bucs, since it would likely scare away teams from giving up a king's ransom for the #2 pick. And there are, based on rumors, no lack of teams which would be interested in trading up for the rights to The Second Coming. But maybe. just maybe, the latest rumors will scare off these teams from doing just that.
Although I stand by my previous assesment that Joe Thomas is a smarter pick for the Bucs. Changing gears slightly...
Rick Gosselin's latest mock draft has the following order.....
|1. Oakland
|JaMarcus Russell
|2. Detroit
|Adrian Peterson
|Matt Millen has struggled with top-10 picks in his stint as general manager of the Lions. Peterson would be a safe and popular choice. Detroit had success using first-round picks on Oklahoma runners Steve Owens (1970) and Billy Sims (1980).
|3. Cleveland
|Calvin Johnson
|Georgia Tech
|4. Tampa Bay
|Brady Quinn
|Notre Dame
|5. Arizona
|Joe Thomas
For those not familiar with Gosselin he is a sports writer for the Dallas Morning News who has earned the reputation as the most accurate predictor of the draft order. Gosselin, as opposed to Mel Kiper Jr, bases his mock draft on his network of NFL scouts and coaches, as opposed to scouting the college ranks himself. Although judging by Gosselin's mock pick for the Bucs I am hoping Gruden plans to unleash the first three quarterback offense ever, maybe something similar to the Emory and Henry offense. Actually, I think I'm on to something there....

I often fill this space up with defenses of President Obama's policies because for the most part, I agree with them or understand the line he's trying to walk whether in regards to taxes or war or health care or any other matter. In the case of the fiscal cliff deal and the impending need for congress to raise the debt ceiling, however, let's just say I hope the President knows what he's doing.
I didn't have a problem with him caving a bit by raising the amount of money individuals have to make in order to be in the restored Clinton-era tax bracket. But to not insist that congress raise the debt ceiling may prove to be a major mistake. We had the fiscal cliff to defuse the debt-ceiling hostage crisis of 2011, and then he goes and hands a minority of radical legislators the power right back. Why would they have incentive to not use it again? They got over $2 trillion dollars in cuts the first time. He can insist by stomping his foot and huffing all he wants, but at the end of the day if the Republican leadership can't get its caucus to vote to not melt down the world, what will Obama be able to do about it except give up another pound of flesh?
Many readers noted that my piece on Monday about the $1 trillion coin was woefully late (this is because I'm lazy and write Monday's blog on Friday like the hippie I am), but the point remains. Now that the debt ceiling has been weaponized, we are going to be playing this dangerous game over and over and over again. Even if congress does back down in this instance, it will be there for every future congress that wants to play the game of a bunch of zealots.
And let's just dispel the notion that Congress's Tea Party faction actually wants anything rational. None of them will put forward a plan for what they'd actually want cut from Medicare, which is the largest driver of the deficit, and they view the deficit as this problem so grand and vast and epic that some of them think it's better to default in order to stop the government from spending any more money. Yet they view the idea of raising taxes on any billionaire as out of the question. So, you know, worldwide economic chaos is less terrible to them than raising taxes on the wealthiest .01%. Yeah, my man, you're not negotiating with people who respond particularly well to rational argument.
One of the most legitimate criticisms of Obama's first term was his insistence on post-partisanship, on reaching out to his political enemies. They almost derailed the recovery by refusing to support stimulus spending, they almost sabotaged health care reform, they fought financial reform every step of the way, and yet here we are yet again with the president giving them the opportunity to do their cynical brand of psychotic mischief.
Which is why I hope he has something in his back pocket on this, the coin, the fourteenth amendment, some secret pact him and Boehner signed in blood—anything. Or else he risks beginning his second term with his presidency held at gun point yet again.

I noted, once again, the irony how it's never white people doing racist things, or other white people subsequently denying even the possibility of racism inherent to those things, that are called the race-baiters, but instead the people of color who call that shit out. It's always people of color and their gosh darn insistence on talking about racism who are accused of preventing racial unity, not the white people who engage in racism.
Thus, the narrative becomes that Obama, by talking about the history of police racism, is a bigger threat to racial unity than the actual police who practice and perpetuate institutional racism.
KBlogz, always with the devastatingly witty insight, suggested wryly: "The media should go burn a cross on the White House lawn to remind Obama that racism is over."

Breast Cancer Powerhouses Announce Groundbreaking Collaboration to Document the 'Collateral Damage' of Breast Cancer Treatment
September 30, 2013 06:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
)--Three powerhouse breast cancer organizations—Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (DSLRF), Susan G. Komen, and Young Survival Coalition (YSC)—today announced they are working together in a groundbreaking collaboration to document the short- and long-term physical and emotional side effects of breast cancer treatments, as part of DSLRF's
Health of Women
[HOW] Study that eventually may lead to prevention strategies for, and causes of, breast cancer.
Known for its innovative approach to research, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation decided to crowd-source the question of collateral damage of breast cancer treatment, putting out a call to the public in July to gather questions from those who have been treated for the disease. Within 24 hours of that first call to the Foundation's Army of Women, more than 800 respondents questioned the physiological and psychological impact and the potential life-threatening effects of their breast cancer treatments. Their questions highlight dozens of side effects such as chemo brain, lymphedema, neuropathy, fatigue, depression, loss of sexual appetite — and the list goes on."There are more than 3 million people in the United States living with a history of breast cancer, but the cure comes with a cost," said Dr. Susan Love, Chief Visionary Officer, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. "Whether they are people living with metastatic breast cancer, people whose cancer is in remission, or carriers of genetic mutations who choose to undergo prophylactic treatment, the side effects of today's breast cancer treatments are wide-ranging, often debilitating and generally overlooked by the medical community. The price of being treated for breast cancer, though often effective at keeping the disease at bay and prolonging life, is physical and emotional as well as financial."
More data needs to be collected to provide the scientific community with the most robust cohort from which to derive and analyze the true cost of the cure. The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation reached out to Susan G. Komen and Young Survival Coalition to ask for their help.
"We were pleased to join with Dr. Love to find answers to these critical questions," said Susan G. Komen's Founder and Chair, Global Strategy Nancy G. Brinker, a breast cancer survivor. "The information gathered here can help the medical community better serve breast cancer patients today, and the larger HOW Study will give us information that could identify causes and preventive strategies for this devastating disease."
"This powerful collaboration will ensure that the right questions are asked, including those specific to young women and breast cancer," said Jennifer Merschdorf, CEO of YSC and a young breast cancer survivor herself. "It is paramount that young women are well represented in this study since the collateral damage from breast cancer treatment more significantly impacts their personal and professional lives, including their ability to bear children."
The public call for questions will continue through October and result in the development of an online questionnaire via the Health of Women [HOW] Study. The Health of Women Study is an online cohort launched in October 2012 to track women and men over time to pinpoint risk factors, successful prevention mechanisms and eventually, to help identify the cause of breast cancer. The collateral damage module of the HOW Study is expected to be launched early in 2014.
Questions about collateral damage from breast cancer can be submitted through October to
, #questionthecure. Anyone interested in being part of this initiative can register for the Health of Women [HOW] Study (
) and complete the basic questionnaires on personal health and/or breast cancer diagnoses. When the collateral damage module is complete and online, they will be notified by email.
The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation
's mission is to achieve a future without breast cancer by focusing on prevention and finding the cause. This will be accomplished by democratizing research to include the public's voice in the process, facilitating research through programs like the Army of Women launched in 2008 as a resource for researchers, and performing research through projects like the innovative Health of Women [HOW] Study, created in 2012 to identify the cause and cost of the disease through an online cohort. The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, and its more than 374,000 volunteers nationwide, invite you to Act with Love and become part of a movement to bring the public voice to breast cancer research with the goal of eradicating the disease once and for all.

Susan G. Komen
is the world's largest breast cancer organization, investing more than $2.2 billion in its 31 years to research, community health programs, global outreach and public policy advocacy. Komen's $790 million investment in research is the largest of any nonprofit outside of the U.S. government, and funds research along the entire cancer continuum, from prevention to early detection to treatments. Additionally, Komen and its 118 Affiliates fund thousands of community health programs that provide free screenings, and financial, psychosocial and treatment support to hundreds of thousands of people facing breast cancer.
About Young Survival Coalition (YSC)
Established in 1998, Young Survival Coalition (YSC) is the premier global organization dedicated to young women diagnosed with breast cancer. YSC offers free resources, connections and educational materials so young women with breast cancer feel supported, empowered and hopeful. Through action, advocacy and awareness, YSC seeks to educate and influence the medical, research, breast cancer and legislative communities to address breast cancer in young women, and ensure that no young woman faces breast cancer alone.

Why You Should Always Use Strong Passwords
A weak password is like an open door. Anybody can enter with little effort. Sleeping with the doors open is probably not so dangerous in several countries but it definitely is on the internet. Weak passwords are simple dictionary words and names like: window, wall, ball, Jane, Michael, etc.
You can set a strong password if you use at least 15 characters, capital letters, numbers and symbols: j!Cs7TP488A2@4Y
I have found some good websites where you can generate strong passwords:
- http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/
- http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/
- http://www.random.org/passwords/
- http://passwordsgenerator.net/
- http://www.freepasswordgenerator.com/
- https://identitysafe.norton.com/password-generator
How to Remember Strong Passwords?
The best application is LastPass where you can store your passwords. You can use LastPass addons in your browsers, it fills the password for you. It's highly recommended to use a very strong password on LastPass that you can remember.
Lost password by hb
How to Prevent Your Website from Being Hacked
The first and most important thing: always use your own computer when entering password. There's no way to know if there is a keylogger or any other malware on someone else's pc. Probably the owner doesn't know anything about undesired applications on his computer so it's not enough if you ask him about the security. A keylogger can get your strong password easily because it records keyboard input.
Use firewall and anti-virus software. Update the definitions database regularly.
Do not browse fraud websites, never reply to spam emails.
Don't give to anybody your logins and passwords. Don't use the same password on different sites.
And the last thing is: don't use weak passwords.
The weakest point of a password is always the human factor. A friend of mine gave his password to his colleague and his login credentials got changed totally. There was a big rush to get it back. Handle your login credentials with responsibility, that's the best you can do.

DENVER — Democrats are quietly moving through the state legislature a bill to clean up last year's much-criticized elections law and, perhaps as importantly, stop the Independence Institute's Jon Caldara from voting outside Boulder.
Senate Bill 161, also known as the "Caldara Bill," would remove a provision from the 2013 Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act that allows Coloradans to cast ballots in communities to which they "intend" to move.
The Democrat-sponsored bill also increases the penalty for providing "false residential information" from a Class 6 to a Class 5 felony, and makes it a felony to aid or abet "the provision of false residential information."
"There's one high-profile case of someone who I believe misrepresented where his sole legal residence was, and this enhances the penalty," said state Sen. Jesse Ulibarri (D-Commerce City), the bill's sponsor, at last month's Senate State Affairs Committee hearing.
The House State Affairs Committee passed the bill Monday, two weeks after the Senate approved it, but not before Republicans threw in a few I-told-you-so's. Last year's election overhaul, known as House Bill 1303, was passed over the objections of Republicans who said the bill would invite voter fraud and campaign chicanery.
"This bill does a number of good things, including correcting some of the things we pointed out last year in 1303," said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams at Monday's hearing.
Caldara drew headlines in September when he cast a blank ballot in the Colorado Springs recall election, even though he has long lived in Boulder, in order to bring attention to what he described as loopholes and sloppy language in the sweeping Democrat-pushed elections overhaul.
He was aided by former state Rep. Mark Barker, who agreed to lease a room at his home in Colorado Springs to Caldara to help demonstrate his residency. Democrats demanded Caldara's prosecution, but the attorney's general office declined to press charges after an investigation, citing "arguable ambiguity" in the new elections law.
Caldara, who had promised to repeat his stunt if the law were not changed, said Monday that he was "so very, very flattered and highly disappointed that they're trying to rein in my voting rights."
"It would have been nice if they'd just listened to us last year in the first place instead of having this mad rush to create their permanent electoral victories," said Caldara. "It was just the arrogance of the last session of grabbing as much as they could while they could that just got them so very sloppy. And it's not just sloppy, it was dangerous what they did."
One feature of the 2013 election law is that it eliminates precincts and requires only that would-be voters reside in Colorado for 22 days. That provision, even with the removal of the "intent to reside" wording, could keep the door open for elections mischief.
"Keep in mind, I didn't 'intend' to move to Colorado Springs, I actually moved there. Who knows where I might move again?" said Caldara, who heads the free-market think tank.
While House Republicans refrained Monday from crowing over the Democrats' scramble to repair the bill, state Sen. Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch) wasn't quite as restrained at last month's Senate committee hearing.
"I think that 1303 had significant flaws in it. I offered probably 50 amendments to try to fix those problems. I had 100, but I probably offered 50," said Harvey. "Every one of them was denied . . . We continually try to act like we know what we're doing and never accept any amendments, but then come back with a different bill rather than fixing it the first time."
He noted that the state legislature is considering two other bills, HB 1164 and SB 158, aimed at patching up problems with last year's elections bill.
Democrats have characterized SB 161 as a commonplace example of minor post-election tweaking.
"This kind of bill comes up almost every year after an election, and it was very important that we have a bill this year to make sure our new voting system works as best it can to provide access and ease of voting and to secure the integrity of the ballot box," said House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst (D-Boulder) at Monday's hearing.
Caldara said he wished Democrats would admit they erred during last year's session by refusing to take seriously concerns about the sweeping elections bill, which was passed with no Republican votes.
"Wouldn't it be nice if just once they would say, 'We were wrong?'" asked Caldara. "Wouldn't it be nice if they would say, 'This is the we-were-wrong bill'? That would be refreshing. My feeling is that if my move helped to rectify even a small part of 1303, then I need to move to a lot more places a lot more often."

I know, I know - what does Keith Olbermann have to do with the Red Sox, he's not exactly the "go to" source for my baseball needs. I do think he raises some excellent points here though - which others around the interwebs have raised as well. Until the Cubs introduce Theo Epstein as their new GM, and the Red Sox introduce Ben Cherington as his replacement, they'll be no moving forward for the organization or its fans, as it's gotten awful ugly in Fenwayville.
It is interesting to see how the tides have turned over these past few days. Before the Globe released it's ridiculous 1A article, everyone with an opinion on the Red Sox was playing the blame game, with fingers pointed in nearly every direction. Now the focus has come squarely down on the Ownership Group, who in the court of public opinion, have been named guilty of being the anonymous source in the Boston Globe article. Their collective silence has been as loud as Beckett, Lester, and Lackey's - and it's really making me question their ethics and savvy. I've been a strong defendant of this ownership group over the last month. They hired the right people, opened their wallets for top tier talent, saved Fenway Park, and brought two World Championships to Boston. But the way they're reacting in the bad times may be showing what their true colors look like.

This essay originally appeared on TomDispatch.
Among my somewhat over-the-hill crowd–I'm 64–there's one thing friends have said to me repeatedly since the stock market started to tumble, the global economic system began to melt down and Iceland went from bank haven to bankrupt. They say, "I'm just not looking. I don't want to know." And they're not referring to the world situation, they're talking about their pension plans, or 401(k)s, or IRAs, or whatever they put their money into, so much of which is melting away in plain sight even as Iceland freezes up.
I've said it myself. Think of it as a pragmatic acknowledgement of reality at an extreme moment, but also as a statement of denial and despair. The point is: Why look? The news is going to be worse than you think, and it's way too late anyway. This is what crosses your mind when the ground under you starts to crumble. Don't look, not yet, not when the life you know, the one you took for granted, is vanishing, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
Today, in my world at least, this is the most commonplace of comments. It's just not a line I've seen much when the press and TV bring on the parade of financial experts–most of whom are there largely because they didn't have the faintest idea that anything like this might happen. Whether they're reporting on, or opining about, the latest market nosedives, panic selling, chaotic bailouts, arcane derivatives, AIG facials, or bank and stock-exchange closures, it still always sounds like someone else's story. I guess that's the nature of the media.
It's professional for reporters and pundits to write or talk about the pain of others, not their own. Normally, you just assume that's the case. So, for instance, when Frank Bruni, in a front page New York Times piece on the second presidential debate, writes, "Now the situation looks gloomier still, with markets in other continents tumbling–with a world of hurt at hand," it really doesn't cross your mind that he might be including Frank Bruni in that description.

Bladder Cancer Market Research Report : Forecast up to 2025
Press Release • Jun 05, 2017 15:54 EDT
Bladder cancer is a urologic malignancy occurring in the tissues of the urinary bladder. It is characterized by the uncontrolled, rapid growth of cells arising from the epithelial lining and can be proliferating to the muscular wall of urinary bladder. The bladder or urinary bladder is a hollow organ located in the pelvis (lower abdomen) which stores the urine drained from kidney. It is connected to the kidney by ureters, a tube like structure. Bladder cancer is ranked as the ninth most frequently diagnosed cancer. Region such as North America, Western and Southern Europe along with certain countries in Western Asia or Northern Africa have recorded highest incidence rates in men. Bladder cancer is more prevalent in men as compared to women; however, the sex ratio varied with different countries.
The exact causes for bladder cancer are not known. However, some of the risk factors such as excessive smoking, tobacco consumption, continuous exposure to radiation, chronic bladder infection, and previous cancer treatments are considered to cause bladder cancer. Bladder cancer can affect any age group; however, it is more prevalent in adults aged over 50 years. Furthermore, the observed trends and patterns worldwide reflect tobacco smoking as the prevalent cause of bladder cancer. Infection with schistosoma haematobium along with other risk factors are also the major causes of bladder cancer in selected population.
The global bladder cancer market is driven by increasing incidence of bladder cancer, leading to drug innovations for treatment and technological advancements. Bladder cancer is more common in adults aged over 50 years. Hence, increasing geriatric population also contributes to market growth. Furthermore, government initiatives, increasing awareness about bladder cancer and the available treatments, and progressive health care services with growing health care expenditure are expected to propel the global market. However, cancer being an asymptomatic disease at initial stage, needs accurate diagnosis at early stage. Inaccurate and unaffordable diagnosis could hamper the growth of the market. Increasing use of generic drugs and growing patent expirations are factors responsible for the sluggish growth of the market.
The global bladder cancer market can be segmented based on diagnosis, therapy, and region. Bladder cancer can be diagnosed by urine lab tests, cystoscopy, biopsy, and imaging test. Urine lab tests can be further divided into urinalysis, urine cytology, urine culture, and urine tumor marker test. The imaging tests segment can be further divided into intravenous pyelogram (IVP), computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and ultrasound. In terms of therapy, the market can be segmented in to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and surgery.
View Report -
Geographically, the bladder cancer market can be segmented into five major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America holds the major share of the global bladder cancer market. Major share of the region is attributed to the rise in incidence of bladder cancer, innovative health care solutions, advanced health care infrastructure, and increasing concern about bladder problems.

Insights and Inspiration on the ongoing Digital Transformation of Business & Culture. akom360 (member of Publicis Media) delivers once a week a handpicked selection of articles to our readers. Let's rock and change the world!
Digital Transformation: Weekly Mashup #3
###Topic: Trends & Data###
Nic Newman: Journalism, Media and Technology Trends and Predictions 2017 / Reuters Institute
Nic Newman is a journalist and digital strategist who played a key role in shaping the BBC's internet services over more than a decade.
This year's key developments will center on fears about how changing technology is affecting the quality of information and the state of our democracy. The arrival of Donald Trump in the White House and elections in France and Germany will highlight the increasing power of new communication channels as traditional media continues to lose both influence and money.
More widely there'll be heated debate about the role and size of tech platforms and the extent to which their activities should be regulated. Artificial Intelligence (AI) takes over from mobile as the hottest topic in technology, though the practical and ethical dilemmas around how it will be used become ever more apparent through the year.

Why employee engagement is one of the most undervalued drivers of lasting change. If digital transformation is truly 10% technology and 90% human, then we need to pay far greater attention to employee engagement as an energizer for change.

Henri Fayol also identified 14 general principles of management and organizing,
which can be read about in the article: What
are Henri Fayol's 14 Principles of Management? In part, these
14 principles give normative guidance on how managers might master and execute
their 5 managerial functions effectively.
Below, a short description of the five functions
is presented.
Managers must plan for future conditions, develop strategic objectives and secure
the achievement of future goals. Therefore, managers must evaluate future contingencies
affecting the organization, and shape the future operational and strategic landscape
of the company.
Managers must organize the workforce in an efficient manner and structure and
align the activities of the organization. Managers must also train and recruit
the right people for the job, and always secure a sufficiently skilled and educated
Managers must supervise subordinates in their daily work, and inspire them to
achieve company goals. Likewise it is the responsibility of managers to communicate
company goals and policies to subordinates. The commanding of subordinates should
always be consistent with company policies, and every manager should treat subordinates
in line with the standards of the company.
Managers must harmonize the procedures and activities performed by the company,
meaning that every activity of each organizational unit should complement and
enrich the work of another.
Managers must control that company activities are in line with general company
policies and objectives. It is also the responsibility of the manager to observe
and report deviations from plans and objectives, and to make initiatives to
correct potential deviations.
The five functions theory of Henri Fayol is a very normative and functional
view on management, and the theory might not fully convey the managerial complexities
faced by managers in their daily work. As such, Henry Fayol's five functions
focus very little on informal relationships between managers and subordinates,
and do not touch very much upon how to develop and maintain a motivated workforce.
The 5 functions put forward by Henri Fayol may therefore not completely represent
the total complexity faced by managers, and the normative approach may be too
rigid to illustrate which functions managers need to perform in modern contemporary
companies and organizations. However, the 5 functions presented by Henri Fayol
give a structured overview of several tasks needed to be performed by all managers,
which gives managers an initial overview of which main functions they should
be focusing on in their daily work.
Other theorist such as Frederick
Herzberg and Elton
Mayo focused more of their attention to trying to explain how people
are motivated, and on which motivational factors can secure a satisfied and
motivated workforce.

DITI's key role in breast cancer & other breast disorders is to aid in the early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology & the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. DITI detects the subtle physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, vascular disease or infection. You & your doctor can then plan accordingly and layout a careful program to pursue further diagnostic testing and/or monitor you during & after treatment. The imaging procedure is painless, FDA approved, 100% non invasive, and emits zero radiation.
Active Cancer Cells Double in Number every 90 days
90 days——–2 cells
1 year———16 cells *detectable by thermography at this stage
2 years——–256 cells
3 years——-4,896 cells
4 years——-65,536 cells
5 years——1,048,576 cells *still undetectable by mammography at this stage
6 years——16,777,216 cells
7 years—–268,435,456 cells
8 years——4,294,967 cells * 32 doublings *normally detected by mammography at this stage
It takes years for a tumor to grow. Therefore, the earliest possible indication of abnormality is needed to allow for the earliest possible treatment and prevention.
All women can benefit from DITI breast screening. It is especially appropriate for younger women, ages 30-50 whose denser breast tissue makes it difficult for mammography to be effective. It is also beneficial for woman of all ages, who for amny reasons are unable to undergo routine mammography. This test can provide a clinical marker to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination.
Breast cancers tend to grow significantly faster in younger women under 50:
|Under 50
|80 days
|Age 50 – 70
|157 days
|Over age 70
|188 day
Source: Cancer 71:3547-3551, 1993
All of your thermograms will be kept on record. Your thermal baseline is determined by an initial breast screening on your first appointment, and a second, follow up screening to confirm that no significant changes have developed within your breasts in that interim period. Once your stable baseline thermal pattern has been established, any changes can easily be detected during your then annual rescans. A routine annual breast scan looks for vascular changes in the same way that an annual pap smear looks for cellular changes. When DITI is used in conjunction with a multi-modality approach, breast self exam, routine breast exams with your practitioner and mammography, the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.

Sprinkler system - fire protection engineering
Sprinkler systems may be installed in a building to achieve a number of different objectives. Very often the primary reason for installation is property protection. For taller, larger and more complex buildings sprinklers are often installed to help protect life.
There are few sprinkler systems that are designed to fully extinguish a fire, most are designed to control and contain a fire. If they happen to put the fire out as well, as they often do, then this is a bonus. Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers are used in some warehousing buildings and these are designed to extinguish the fire fully.
The sprinklers are designed to throw a sufficient quantity of water onto the items around the fire and onto the walls and ceiling of the building to stop these items from catching fire. The ceiling above a fire is subjected to very high temperatures and it is important that sprinkler heads throw sufficient water up onto the ceiling to protect it from the fire.
Sprinkler systems are often fed from their own dedicated water tanks and the supplies have to last for a specified period of time, typically 1, 1½ or 2 hours. For life safety purposes it would be expected that there are two tanks or the tank is split into two halves with each half being capable of feeding both of the supply pumps.

"Globalization" has been on so many lips that it's easy to forget how recently it entered daily speech. Shown nearby is a graph of the word's appearances in the New York Times and Washington Post since 1980. After flatlining its way through the 1980s and early '90s, "globalization"–as a word, at least–took off in a near-vertical ascent in the late 1990s.
What does it mean exactly? Like many deeply ideological words, it's rarely defined; everyone knows what it means. Elites mean something like the internationalization of economic, political and cultural life, as if these haven't long been internationalized. Non-elites seem to mean everything bad that's happened lately. Writing in the American Prospect in 2001, Mark Greif reported on a focus group held for corporate clients worried about the antiglobalization backlash. Thirty Americans were convened by a Jungian market researcher and asked what globalization meant to them. Some responses: "Nothing's personal…it's all machines." "No more privacy." "There's no mystery anymore…." Pressed for detail, respondents complained about speedup, the "fight for the dollar," powerlessness, growing gaps between haves and have-nots, the deterioration of healthcare. An impressive array of complaints, but it's not clear how "globalization" is their cause. They sound like venerable complaints about capitalism.
Experts often do little better. The French international relations analyst Dominique Moïsi defined globalization as "complexity, interaction and simultaneity," a phrase that could also describe a crowd chatting in a bar. The British sociologist Bob Jessop avers that the word "is best used to denote a multicentric, multiscalar, multitemporal, multiform, and multicausal process… the complex, emergent product of many different forces operating on many scales." Indeed.
Whatever it is, globalization is usually taken as a recent arrival. But from the first, capitalism has paid little respect to national borders. After the breakup of the Roman Empire, Italian bankers devised complex foreign-exchange instruments to evade church prohibitions on interest. Those cross-border capital flows moved in tandem with trade flows. And with 1492 began the slaughter of the First Americans and the plunder of the Western Hemisphere. That act of primitive accumulation, along with the enslavement of Africans and the colonization of Asia, made Europe's takeoff possible. As John Maynard Keynes put it:
the booty brought back by Drake in the Golden Hind may fairly be considered the fountain and origin of British foreign investment. Elizabeth paid off out of the proceeds the whole of her foreign debt and invested a part of the balance (about £42,000) in the Levant Company; largely out of the profits of the Levant Company there was formed the East India Company, the profits of which during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were the main foundation of England's foreign connections; and so on.

Technology came to rise to reduce human efforts. But uptill when? The world has praised every developer for designing beautiful gadgets to save human time and reduce human efforts. But what effects does it have on livings? Talking of human and having noticed something along those years of growth what i have noticed is my degraded handwriting. There were times when people would praise me saying "mokhti hui chekh lekan" and now all i know and work upon is how to type fast, how to type without looking at keyboard, how to type 120 words in 1 min. All along this race what went unnoticed are my finger tips. Look at them, look at the shape they have acquired. I always find ways to speak confidently, without stammering. I always keep on searching what illness i am suffering from because while speaking i forget the words that would fit in place. Without noticing that these days we speak less and type more. Isn't it enough to make us forget our natural language and our ability to speak? About the effects of screen light on our eyes, we know ophthalmologists these days are so concerned about our eye sight too. Dry eyes, irritation from light are common things to this generation. If i say technology is reducing our natural ability to learn will not be wrong. Humanity is so because of emotions in homo sapiens. AND these emotions are what technologists are targeting in humans now. In a lecture by HOD women's college srinagar, IOK, he said, scientists kept a child in a company of a dog for 4 years and got used to his existence. When that dog died, they didn't want that child to cry keeping him happy forever. So they decided to keep children in the company of technological dog that won't die ever. Think about it. Working on technologies like AI is to make computers able to think like a human brain and working on keeping children happy forever is to make humans work and behave like machines.
This won't be wrong to say that in next few generations human body will be reduced to a single cell.

From social media ofcourse the news came that Zakir bhai and sadam bhai are trapped in a village in shopian. Meanwhile 4000 army men cordoned adjoining 20 villages too. Choppers are being used for getting to their exact location. Youth have taken upon streets once again. The lust of land has already murdered humanity in past and nothing is changed even now. Even though being well aware of how atrocity feels like, ENDiA emerges as one of the biggest oppressors . Or i may say they enjoyed slavery and are expecting someone else to do that too. But listen india loins can't be caged. Had world war 2 not taken place, You would have still being wiping the shits of british. We will rebel till victory✌. We will emerge as a nation. Once again my heart cries ONE SLOGAN ONE TRACK GO INDIA GO BACK.
Men are intolerant than women and this is the truth that no one can deny. They will rebel even for the minuest atrocity on them. But women are themselves the symbol of patience, courage and emotions. For this time since women are coming forth and standing up for their nation, this means that the whole nation of kashmir is standing. Since they are having stones in hand it means the to be generation is going to be rebellious, for their beingness had been from a rebel. The holding of stones by women implies the highest n obsolete oppression by the world's largest democracy; ENDIA .
Burhaan wani's death …. what did it do? It just unified kashmir ❤❤❤
Faith togethered with will can move mountains. You think life to be a gamble or a game of dice .. just in the hands of destiny we put our everything. None takes the step as a pawn in chess with the faith that my king won't let me ruin
His greedy heart came to look for another fervency , Yet he already had taken that all
Ever heard of a mother killing her children, taking their toys , making them face the brutality of world?
Well you won't because no mother does this. She just can't be one.
Like wise Mehbooba mufti is no deserving ruler of this state. She puts her countrymen in loss every now and then. Just a few days ago we paid for internet that too 310 for month… in the world of today nothing works without communication means and yet again e-curfew has taken place
with the ink that flowed through its pages….

The hottest item along Fort Lauderdale`s beach this season may not be suntan lotion or sunglasses, but the ``Spring Break`` aerial photograph of The Strip scene by Aerial Photographs International.
Mal Woronoff, founder and president of the Fort Lauderdale-based business that is the official photographer for Disney World and Epcot, says the poster`s images are so clear ``you can count the sun-tanned bodies on the beach.``
He has sold 20,000 posters so far in the first two weeks of The Season.
A third printing of 10,000 -- and probably a fourth -- is likely, Woronoff says.
He`s never seen anything like it before in his 16 years in South Florida.
``We didn`t anticipate the demand or we would have printed more sooner,`` he said.
Woronoff, 56, an Air Force veteran who trained aerial photographers during the Korean War, uses a $28,000 Fairchild Aerial Camera that weighs 82 pounds and 9-by-18-inch negatives to get the sharp images.
The posters, being marketed by American Eagle, a division of Aeiral Photographs International, in Corporate Square at 1500 NW 62nd St., Fort Lauderdale, sell for $5 each. The posters are 25-by-38 inches and show The Strip, the Intracoastal Waterway, sunbathers, swimmers and residential homes.
The expected 300,000-plus college students ``breaking`` in Fort Lauderdale this year won`t be Woronoff`s only market, he adds. In the works is a similar poster for the larger Daytona Beach student crowd, as well as posters of the Daytona 500 and Miami Grand Prix auto races.
Woronoff`s previous posters have shown the Statue of Liberty and a single-frame view of Long Island in its entirety.
The posters are on sale along Fort Lauderdale`s Strip as well as gift shops at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport.
Telamarketing Communications launched a unique salvo in the long-distance war last week, offering $100 in cash to persons who can prove their competitors` rates are lower.

New for Fall: College to Offer Master's Degree in Learning and Emerging Technologies
By David Henahan, Director of Communications
July 27, 2012
New for the fall of 2012, Empire State College's School for Graduate Studies will offer a new degree: Master of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technologies.
"Better understanding of how, what and when people are learning in the digital age is essential to effective education," said college Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Meg Benke. "The college's new master's program meets the rapidly growing need of community college faculty, instructional designers, trainers in corporate and nonprofit organizations, K-12 teachers and international educators, among others."
Designed as a collaborative and interactive inquiry process, the program's overall goal is to create a community of practice, comprised of both students and faculty, in order to gain a better understanding of how learning outcomes can be met using various new, digital technologies beyond the learning management system, to include: social media, various communication tools, virtual environments and multimedia creation tools.
"The college's new master's program in learning and emerging technologies represents a graduate degree not only in a field of our specialization, but one that is in keeping with the college's history and mission. The college and the School for Graduate Studies continue to be in the forefront of higher education, through collaborative innovation in teaching and learning," said Robert Clougherty, dean of the college's School for Graduate Studies.

Polishing metal...Who knows? Not me. I dont know anything about it...I found some solid antique copper bowls with patina - & as a little project tried to make them shiny.
Flitz seems to be legit for polishing uncoated metal on cars. So I did a little research & it seems there products are generally considered legit for polishing any metal...
The Flitz Büff Ball & Metal Polish:
The Büff Ball basically attaches to a drill chuck & you go to town with the polish. I recommend using a corded drill here - cuz this takes some time & you want as much RPMs as possible...
Bowl #1 (initial):
I really had no idea what I was doing here. This bowl had severe oxidation. My initial approach was to attack it by hand with P21S Polishing Soap & a scouring pad.. This worked - but was sort of a mis-step.
The reason being was the scouring pad got most of the funk off - but left some fine scratches the Metal Polish & Büff Ball couldnt remove. I could have hit it with some fine grit sand papers - but was fairly happy with the result...
After Büff Ball And Metal Polish (and about 2 hours of work):
Bowl #2 (initial):
So, this bowl was more tarnished - but had less oxidation. This bowl was also hammered copper which means it has dimples/valleys in the metal. So, Polishing was more work do to this...
Anyway, I decided to clean it initially with the P21S Polishing Soap & the Scrub Daddy pad that comes with it - to avoid scratches from the scouring pad. It worked. So, after about 2 hours of polishing - I was able to get somewhat close to a mirror finish:
So, what I learned from this little project is this combo on a drill is pretty legit. Im sure a bench grinder with a cotton buff would be faster - but most people dont have that & you can get this kit for like $30.
What I learned from this:
1. It takes a long time to do this. Prolly would go faster with initial fine sanding if the metal is in this poor shape.
2. Dont even think of trying this by hand. Was enough work with a machine.
3. The Büff Ball gets gummed up with junk just like a wool pad & looses its effectiveness...So, I cleaned it with a pad brush just like you would with a MF pad. Also, changing the drills rotational direction seemed to help.

The Bioregions Discovery Tool was developed as a new open-source online mapping tool that can be used by anyone who has internet access to map their own region. Developed to facilitate the delineation of bioregions that are meaningful to a broad spectrum of users around the world, the tool draws on global datasets to allow examination of a range of vulnerabilities such as climate change, development pressure, water resource limitations, and food scarcity, among others.
These data - compiled for the first time ever in this tool - are summarized at the level of the bioregion defined by the user, not based on national or other jurisdictional boundaries by which datasets are commonly delineated. The tool was introduced to the members of a growing international resilience network prior to a three-day convening of resilience leaders hosted by Ecotrust in September, 2011, in Portland, Oregon. During the convening, the Bioregions Discovery Tool was demonstrated as a way for community leaders to consider the importance of natural features when conceptualizing a region.
In 2012 progress was made to refine and expand the tool through feature enhancement and new feature development, and user engagement in testing and feedback. The project team has made significant progress in terms of upgrades and new feature development. However, aspects of soliciting user input have taken on a different context based on the initial outreach and needs assessment of the potential users. This has delayed our ability to complete the solicitation of user contributions and data development as outlined in our original project timeline, as well as the release of the new version of the tool (Version 1.1) as planned. The current end date of this project is December 31, 2012.
Work completed to date:
- Bioregion feature: We have developed, tested and implemented a feature that allows users to hand-draw their bioregion boundaries in addition to the option of using a model-driven approach and improved the modeling approach to be more sensitive to specific parameters.
- Sharing: We have developed, tested and implemented a feature that allows users to enter "story points" - specific locations in which users can enter information, links to websites and /or upload images.
- Networking: We have completed development, testing and implementation of a feature that summarizes story points as well as shared bioregions (bioregions that overlap) along with other data such as vulnerabilities to climate change, development pressure, water resource limitations and others. Registered users will be able to see who has contributed information and start a dialog.
- Reports: We have begun development of new features that will allow users to export the reports for each bioregion in a common format such as PDF.
- Usability: We finished streamlining the bioregion creation process, updated user-help documentation, and are in the process of creating a short help video for users. An official project page will introduce the public to the purpose and use of this tool.
- Soliciting user contributions: We have engaged an initial group of partners in creating bioregions as well as in contributing knowledge of their region. We have worked with this group in identifying usability issues (particularly in rural and less developed regions) as well as to seed the tool with information pertaining to their region. As this information grows we plan to engage other users working in overlapping areas to also contribute data.
Next steps
Once we have finished the work in progress (December, 2013) we will begin a marketing strategy in which we will attempt to mobilize existing networks by enabling open id login that will allow users to access the bioregional tool from their Facebook, Gmail and or Twitter accounts (among others). This will allow us to leverage existing platforms to engage with a broader audience. As the user base grows, the tool will become of greater utility to new and existing users and the amount of information will be driven by its user base. This in turn will grow the number of connections that can be made through input of story points or new bioregions. Following the completion of these steps, the project team will continue to engage specific community members in ongoing practical usability testing while providing support to users in defining and sharing bioregions. Ecotrust intends for the Bioregions Discovery Tool to be available for the long term, and since the majority of the content will be user driven, the success of the tool is directly related to the number of users and the degree to which they are engaged.

Inglis, Henry David (DNB00)
INGLIS, HENRY DAVID (1795–1835), traveller and miscellaneous writer, the only son of a Scottish advocate, was born at Edinburgh in 1795, and was educated for commercial life; but he found work in an office uncongenial, turned to literature, and travelled abroad. Under the nom de guerre of Derwent Conway, he published his first work, 'Tales of the Ardennes,' 1825. It met with a favourable reception, and there followed in quick succession 'Narrative of a Journey through Norway, part of Sweden, and the Islands and States of Denmark,' 1826, 'Solitary Walks through many Lands,' 1828, and 'A Tour through Switzerland and the South of France and the Pyrenees,' 1830 and 1831. For a short time before 1830 he edited a local newspaper at Chesterfield in Derbyshire, but soon relinquished it for further foreign travel. Of his journeys through Spain and the Tyrol in 1830 and following years, he published valuable accounts, 'Spain in 1830' appearing in 1831, and 'The Tyrol, with a Glance at Bavaria,' in 1833. The former is his best work. In 1832 Inglis wrote a novel, in three volumes, entitled 'The New Gil Blas, or Pedro of Pennaflor,' 1832, delineating social life in Spain, but this effort, though not without merit, was a failure. In the same year he went to the Channel islands, and edited a Jersey newspaper, called 'The British Critic,' for two years. He published in 1834 a description, in two volumes, of the Channel islands. The same year he published, after an Irish tour, 'Ireland in 1834,' which attracted attention, was quoted as an authority by speakers in parliament in 1835, and reached a fifth edition in 1838. Subsequently Inglis settled in London, and in 1837 contributed to 'Colburn's New Monthly Magazine,' his last literary work, 'Rambles in the Footsteps of Don Quixote,' with illustrations by George Cruikshank. He died of disease of the brain, the result of overwork, at his residence in Bayham Terrace, Regent's Park, on Friday, 20 March 1835. All his books are agreeably written, and supply serviceable information.

Pentagon, State Endorse Space Code Plans
The U.S. Defense and State departments both endorse a U.S. initiative unveiled this week to develop a multilateral code of conduct for space operations in conjunction with the European Union, the Pentagon said on Wednesday (see GSN, Jan. 18).
The departments previously suggested restrictions on U.S. policy options could result from proposed EU rules intended to serve as a basis for the code's development, according to a previous report. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday announced the effort to establish an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities.
The Pentagon "supports the concept" of such rules, spokesman George Little said. "An international code of conduct can enhance U.S. national security by encouraging responsible space behavior by reducing the risk of mishaps, misperceptions and mistrust."
The preliminary EU rules offer "a promising basis for an international code," Little said (U.S. Defense Department release, Jan. 18).
One U.S. lawmaker, though, expressed reservations about the plan.
"Based on briefings that have been provided to the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), the administration's intention to sign the U.S. up for [an] EU code of conduct-type space arms control regime would have far reaching consequences. Furthermore, the end goals of this announcement are murky at best," Representative Michael Turner (R-Ohio) said in a statement.
"I'm deeply concerned that while the administration claims the code is nonbinding, analysis provided to the HASC by the Joint Staff makes clear that impacts on military operations in space will be anything but. The same impacts could very well apply to our intelligence community.
"These apparent impacts also suggest that, without congressional approval, the president quite likely doesn't have the authority to impose a code of conduct-type arms control arrangement on the United States," he added. "If the president thinks an arrangement like the code of conduct is in the interest of the United States, I urge him to work with the Congress to determine what it is he's trying to accomplish and then seek congressional approval on the merits" (U.S. Representative Michael Turner release, Jan. 17)
The U.S. Defense and State departments both endorse a U.S. initiative unveiled this week to develop a multilateral code of conduct for space operations in conjunction with the European Union, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.
