The Independent Community Bankers of America has named Ed Gentry, executive vice president and chief lending officer with Memphis-based Triumph Bank, as an "Outstanding Community Lender."
Gentry is among only a handful of bankers in the U.S. to receive that distinction by the ICBA. An article published in the July issue of ICBA Independent Banker magazine notes Gentry's relationship with Triumph and how important his mentoring philosophy and leadership have been to the bank's growth.
Gentry joined Triumph in February of 2008 and has nearly 25 years of banking experience.
The Shelby County Election Commission has certified the results of the July 16 referendums on forming suburban school districts.
Voters in each of the six suburban towns and cities in Shelby County overwhelming approved the ballot question. With certification of the results Wednesday, July 31, the next step for town commissions and board of aldermen in each municipality is to pass resolutions setting a date for the election of school boards in each town and city.
Suburban leaders have said they all plan to hold school board elections on Nov. 7. The goal of the suburban leaders is to open their school systems for the 2014-2015 school year.
Fred's Super Dollar this week continued its support of animal care, conservation and research at the Memphis Zoo, presenting the zoo with a check for $33,613 Wednesday, July 31.
The donation was part of the company's Panda Pals campaign and helped mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of Cat Country at the zoo.
The Panda Pals program, which has contributed more than $725,000 to the zoo since the campaign began in 2003, allows customers who visit any of the 155 Super Dollar locations in a 200-mile radius of the zoo to buy a $1 Panda Pals card, which is then displayed in the store where the card is purchased.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has a wish list for raising cash for his financially ailing agency. High on it is delivery of beer, wine and spirits.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Donahoe also endorsed ending most door-to-door and Saturday mail deliveries as cost-saving measures.
Donahoe says delivering alcohol has the potential to raise as much as $50 million a year. The Postal Service says mailing alcoholic beverages is currently restricted by law. Customers are even told to cover any logos or labels if they use alcoholic beverage boxes for shipments.
The agency lost $16 billion last year and is working toward restructuring its retail, delivery and mail processing operations.
A House committee has passed legislation that would cut letter deliveries to five days and phase out door-to-door deliveries.
Former Memphis wrestling promoter Corey Maclin has died in motor vehicle accident in Mississippi.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol says the 43-year-old Maclin was southbound on Interstate 55 just south of Sardis around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when his vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic and rolled over, throwing him from the vehicle. Maclin was pronounced dead on the scene.
Maclin was alone in the vehicle.
Maclin was a wrestling promoter in Memphis and formerly worked with Jerry Lawler before the two became embroiled in a trademark lawsuit over the name "Memphis Wrestling."
Maclin joined the ABC affiliate in Memphis in 2010, where he was a sports anchor for 2 1/2 years.
He also worked for the Memphis Rockers basketball team of the WBL and the Memphis Hounddawgs of the ABA.
Less than a week from the start of the first year of the consolidated school district, countywide school board members Tuesday, July 30, approved a series of policy decisions that reconcile differences between the old Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools systems.
The changes include banning corporal punishment in the merged school district and doing away with a requirement that every school have a Parent Teacher Association.
The changes repeal policies of the old Shelby County Schools system.
Although the county schools policies permitted principals to use corporal punishment, board members were told principals and teachers seldom if ever used the option. Memphis City Schools specifically banned corporal punishment.
The county school system's requirement that all schools have Parent Teacher Association chapters was replaced instead with a policy saying the school system encourages the formation of "parent-led organizations" at each school that could include a PTA chapter as well as Parent Teacher Student Associations or Parent Teacher Organizations.
In other action Tuesday, the school board approved a contract for the W.E.B. DuBois Consortium charter school organization to establish a charter school within Hillcrest High School in Whitehaven.
The one-year agreement is for the school year that begins next week. The consortium is the charter school organization that includes former Memphis Mayor and Memphis City Schools superintendent Willie Herenton, which will also operate a similar charter school within Northside High School with the new school year that begins next week.
Construction has begun on the Hattiloo Theatre in Overton Square.
The $2.8 million, 10,600-square-foot black repertory theater is rising at the northwest corner of Monroe Avenue and Cooper Street and will feature two stages for larger and smaller shows.
Hattiloo will be the fourth theater on both sides of Cooper between Union and Madison avenues, including Playhouse on the Square, Circuit Theater and TheatreWorks.
Hattiloo was founded by Ekundayo Bandele in 2006 and operated out of converted retail space at 656 Marshall Ave.
The city of Memphis, which is building a $15 million parking garage and detention basin at Overton Square, acquired the property for the new theater from Loeb Properties for around $330,000 and is leasing the land to Hattiloo for $1 a year.
Memphis-based marketing and communications agency archer-malmo has been tapped as the advertising and public relations agency of record for nexAir.
Memphis-based nexAir is one of the largest distributors of atmospheric gases and welding supplies in the U.S. Services provided by archer-malmo will include advertising, public relations and digital marketing.
Russ Williams, archer-malmo CEO, described nexAir as a "great family-owned business" with a rich history in the Memphis area.
Memphis-based Buckman International has combined its Canadian and U.S. offices into the new company, Buckman North America.
Executives at the privately held specialty chemical company announced Wednesday, July 31, the North American entity will be based out of the global headquarters in Memphis. But it will maintain the current Buckman office in the Montreal area.
Jim Doan will be president of the new division and Pete Tchouros will be general manager of operations.
Buckman North America is part of a series of changes in the company's structure recently to what the company calls the OneBuckman global business model. The goal is six operating companies organized by geography to better reach customers.
The Team Read program to train volunteers in one-on-one tutoring to improve reading skills of students is Aug. 13 at Germantown United Methodist Church.
The 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. training session teaches volunteers how to teach foundational words to second graders and conduct testing to determine where a student is at in their reading skills as well as work on building reading endurance in students who are reading at grade level.
The church hopes other congregations will join the effort, which was used at Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary School in North Memphis and Winridge Elementary in Hickory Hill last school year.
Team Read has been adopted for use in all elementary schools by the consolidated school system.
Memphis-based startup Mentor Me has been accepted into the San Francisco-based NewMe accelerator.
NewMe is an invitation-only 12-week accelerator for technology startups led by underrepresented minorities. Mentor Me CEO Brit Fitzpatrick and co-founder Sean Lissner recently graduated from the Seed Hatchery accelerator, which is run by Memphis-based organization Start Co.
Fitzpatrick said she's hoping to increase her network and acquire resources while in San Francisco that she can bring back to Memphis. The NewMe accelerator starts Aug. 5 and wraps with a Demo Day on Oct. 18.
Mentor Me will launch in beta in mid-August and launch the full version in early 2014.
Tennessee is getting $3.3 million in federal funds to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to public school children.
According to the Education Department, students at participating schools will receive a fresh fruit or vegetable during the school day at some point other than a regular meal.
The program is funded through the United States Department of Agriculture to combat childhood obesity by helping children learn healthy eating habits. The program allows students to sample fresh produce to which they might otherwise not have access.
The funds will go to schools with the highest rate of students receiving free and reduced-cost lunches.
Shelby County has the highest concentration of participating schools with 69. A total of 159 schools in 29 districts are participating.
U.S. home prices jumped 12.2 percent in May compared with a year ago, the biggest annual gain since March 2006. The increase shows the housing recovery is strengthening.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday, July 30, also surged 2.4 percent in May from April. The month-over-month gain nearly matched the 2.6 percent increase in April from March – the highest on record.
The price increases were widespread. All 20 cities showed gains in May from April and compared with a year ago.
Prices in Dallas and Denver reached the highest level on records dating back to 2000.
That marks the first time since the housing bust that any city has reached an all-time high.
Home values are rising as more people are bidding on a scarce supply of houses for sale.
Steady price increases, along with stable job gains and historically low mortgage rates, have in turn encouraged more Americans to buy homes.
One concern is that higher mortgage rates could slow home sales.
But many economists say rates remain low by historical standards and would need to rise much faster to halt the momentum.
The index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average. The May figures are the latest available. They are not adjusted for seasonal variations, so the monthly gains reflect more buying activity over the summer.
Despite the recent gains, home prices are still about 25 percent below the peaks they reached in July 2006.
That's a key reason the supply of homes for sale remains low, as many homeowners are waiting to recoup their losses before putting their houses on the market.
Americans' confidence in the economy fell only slightly in July but stayed close to a 5 1/2-year high, a sign that consumers should continue to help drive growth in the coming months.
The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index dipped to 80.3 in July. That's down from a reading of 82.1 in June, which was revised slightly higher and the best reading since January 2008.
Despite the slight drop in July, confidence remains well above year-ago levels. And consumers are more optimistic about the current job market.
Amna Asaf, an economist at Capital Economics, blamed the July drop in confidence on rising gasoline prices.
But she said the confidence index remains at a level that is consistent with stronger growth in consumer spending in the July-September quarter.
Consumers' confidence in the economy is watched closely because their spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
The index surged in June, coinciding with a stronger job market.
Employers added 195,000 jobs in June and many more in April and May than initially reported. That brought the monthly job growth up to an average of 202,000 in the first six months of 2013, up from 180,000 a month in the final six months of last year.
Despite recent gains, consumer confidence remains below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy.
That level hasn't been reached since the Great Recession began in December 2007.
Memphis-based EdR reported Monday, July 26, that its second-quarter funds from operations rose 21 percent year-over-year.
The student housing real estate investment trust reported funds from operations of $11.84 million in the second quarter, up from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Core funds from operations were $14.5 million, or 13 cents per share, for the quarter, up from $11.6 million, or 12 cents per share, over the same period last year.
EdR's total revenues in the quarter were $41.98 million, up from $32.31 million in the same period last year.
Looking ahead, EdR, one of the nation's largest developers, owners and managers of collegiate housing, said it expects core funds from operations for the year to be between 53 cents and 57 cents. The company said the midpoint of that range would represent a 17 percent increase over 2012.

The Orpheum Theatre is holding its 19th annual art sale Aug. 11.

Admission is $10 per person. Tickets can be bought at The Orpheum website, www.orpheum-memphis.com, by contacting Brooke Thompson at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 529-4224. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.
The Cochon Heritage BBQ series has changed venues.
The series, which also is now being promoted by a different PR agency, originally was supposed to take place at The Peabody hotel. It will still happen Aug. 30, but the new venue it's announced is Beale Street Landing.
When asked the reason for the change, Cochon555 founder Brady Lowe pointed to the river.
"We were really excited to see Beale Street Landing open up and it was a chance to take our event down by the river in a new event space," he said.
Also as part of new information released in recent days about the event, a list of competing chef teams in Memphis has been announced. They are Ryan Trimm of Southward (Memphis), Travis Grimes of Husk Restaurant (Charleston), Michael Scelfo of Alden & Harlow (Boston), Jackson Kramer of Interim Restaurant (Memphis), Craig Blondis of Central BBQ (Memphis), Chad Clevenger and Nick McCormick of Alma Cocina / Tap A Gastropub (Atlanta), and Rick Farmer and Miles McMath of St. Jude's Culinary Team (Memphis).
Betty Anderson, a consultant and strategist for the Tennessee Charter Schools Association, is the new executive director of Tennessee Stand for Children.
Anderson leads the Tennessee chapter of the national education reform group that has been heavily involved in the local schools reform debate and discussions about the consolidation of schools in Shelby County.
Anderson is a former chief lobbyist and assistant executive director of the Tennessee Education Association.
She was also a legislative liaison for Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter and she was public policy group leader at the Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz law firm.
Average rates on U.S. fixed mortgages ticked up this week but are still low by historical standards, a trend that has helped the housing market recover.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the 30-year loan rose to 4.39 percent from 4.31 percent last week. Rates are a full percentage point higher than in early May.
The average on the 15-year fixed loan increased to 3.43 percent from 3.39 percent last week.
Rates spiked in June after the Federal Reserve indicated it could slow its bond purchases later this year, which have kept long-term interest rates low.
But on Wednesday the Fed hinted it might hold off because the economy remains sluggish. And it noted for the first time that mortgage rates, which have fueled home sales, "have risen somewhat" from record lows.
Mortgage rates tend to follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which has also jumped on speculation that the Fed could slow its stimulus. Despite the increases, mortgages are still a bargain for those who can qualify. And low rates are helping boost home sales in most markets and driving home prices up.
Home prices jumped 12.2 percent in May compared with a year earlier, according to the latest Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city index released Tuesday. That's the biggest annual gain since March 2006.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
Spending on U.S. construction projects fell in June by the largest amount in five months as government building activity declined to the lowest level since 2006.
Even housing activity slowed but that setback was likely to be temporary.
Construction spending dropped 0.6 percent in June compared with May when spending had surged 1.3 percent, the Commerce Department reported Thursday, Aug. 1. It was the biggest decline since a 2.3 percent drop in January.
Housing construction was flat during the month with a gain in remodeling offsetting declines of 0.8 percent in single-family construction and a fall of 3.3 percent in multi-family projects. Residential construction has been a bright spot in a sluggish economy this year and that strength was expected to continue even though mortgage rates have risen from their lows.

Our professional crews have been helping Tanque Verde homeowners since 2005 by transforming yards into outdoor living spaces worthy of your time and attention
Retaining Wall Installation Hire the Pros
Design and installation are complicated undertakings best left to professionals who can make sure the wall's footing is properly secured, that drainage is taken care of, and that the structure will stand the test of time. We have the experience to ensure the job gets done right — on time and on budget.
Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting soil laterally so that it can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to.
What are retaining walls?
What are the benefits of a retaining wall for my home?
Residential retaining walls are most often used to protect exposed basements from the effects of erosion. With enough time and rain, soil can block basement doors and windows if not restrained by a retaining wall.
Homes on top or below high hillsides additionally benefit from retaining wall surfaces. For homes on top of hillsides, maintaining walls keep the structure from changing. For homes at the bottom of a hillside, a maintaining wall will maintain loose soil from accumulating around the house. Different placement of a wall will give different outcomes for your residence as well as yard.
What are the benefits of a retaining wall for my business property?
Commercial retaining walls provide functional support and aesthetic appeal to business properties. When constructing a new building, retaining walls help keep the area level by controlling the grading.
What are retaining walls made from?

Concrete Pouring
The cement reacts with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses. ... Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.
Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens (cures) over time. In the past limebased cement binders were often used, such as lime putty, but sometimes with other hydraulic cements, such as a calcium aluminate cement or with Portland cement to form Portland cement concrete (named for its visual resemblance to Portland stone).

What Patterns Go With Floral?
You may be surprised to learn that floral patterns can mix well with other patterns, like chevron and geometric motifs, if you keep a few key design points in mind. When mixing patterns and colors with your floral rug, you should consider the decor items you want to group near your rug, the color intensity and size of your rug pattern and the patterns contained within your companion pieces' designs. For example, you may want to coordinate the flowers in your rug with a patterned lamp shade and patterned couch pillows. If your rug is bold with large statement flowers in pink, red and orange, you may choose smaller patterned throw pillows that pull in one of these colors—like light pink—at about half intensity, then finish off the grouping with a textured linen lampshade in a softer neutral color. Similarly, a floral rug in a light blue with smaller flowers could be placed in a grouping with a bold geometric patterned armchair and a colorful coffee table for a more whimsical look. For living room ideas and other design inspiration that can help you style your floral rug, visit our home decor blog.

Continuing on the theme of predictions, here are a few more, which focus on global IT trends, business architecture, OTTF and Open Group events in 2013.
Global Enterprise Architecture
By Chris Forde, Vice President of Enterprise Architecture and Membership Capabilities
Cloud is no longer a bleeding edge technology – most organizations are already well on their way to deploying cloud technology. However, Cloud implementations are resurrecting a perennial problem for organizations—integration. Now that Cloud infrastructures are being deployed, organizations are having trouble integrating different systems, especially with systems hosted by third parties outside their organization. What will happen when two, three or four technical delivery systems are hosted on AND off premise? This presents a looming integration problem.
As we see more and more organizations buying into cloud infrastructures, we'll see an increase in cross-platform integration architectures globally in 2013. The role of the enterprise architect will become more complex. Architectures must not only ensure that systems are integrated properly, but architects also need to figure out a way to integrate outsourced teams and services and determine responsibility across all systems. Additionally, outsourcing and integration will lead to increased focus on security in the coming year, especially in healthcare and financial sectors. When so many people are involved, and responsibility is shared or lost in the process, gaping holes can be left unnoticed. As data is increasingly shared between organizations and current trends escalate, security will also become more and more of a concern. Integration may yield great rewards architecturally, but it also means greater exposure to vulnerabilities outside of your firewall.
Within the Architecture Forum, we will be working on improvements to the TOGAF® standard throughout 2013, as well as an effort to continue to harmonize the TOGAF specification with the ArchiMate® modelling language. The Forum also expects to publish a whitepaper on application portfolio management in the new year, as well as be involved in the upcoming Cloud Reference Architecture.
In China, The Open Group is progressing well. In 2013, we'll continue translating The Open Group website, books and whitepapers from English to Chinese. Partnerships and Open CA certification will remain in the forefront of global priorities, as well as enrolling TOGAF trainers throughout Asia Pacific as Open Group members. There are a lot of exciting developments arising, and we will keep you updated as we expand our footprint in China and the rest of Asia.
Open Group Events in 2013
By Patty Donovan, Vice President of Membership and Events
In 2013, the biggest change for us will be our quarterly summit. The focus will shift toward an emphasis on verticals. This new focus will debut at our April event in Sydney where the vertical themes include Mining, Government, and Finance. Additional vertical themes that we plan to cover throughout the year include: Healthcare, Transportation, Retail, just to name a few. We will also continue to increase the number of our popular Livestream sessions as we have seen an extremely positive reaction to them as well as all of our On-Demand sessions – listen to best selling authors and industry leaders who participated as keynote and track speakers throughout the year.
Regarding social media, we made big strides in 2012 and will continue to make this a primary focus of The Open Group. If you haven't already, please "like" us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, join the chat on (#ogchat) one of our Security focused Tweet Jams, and join our LinkedIn Group. And if you have the time, we'd love for you to contribute to The Open Group blog.
We're always open to new suggestions, so if you have a creative idea on how we can improve your membership, Open Group events, webinars, podcasts, please let me know! Also, please be sure to attend the upcoming Open Group Conference in Newport Beach, Calif., which is taking place on January 28-31. The conference will address Big Data.
Business Architecture
By Steve Philp, Marketing Director for Open CA and Open CITS
Business Architecture is still a relatively new discipline, but in 2013 I think it will continue to grow in prominence and visibility from an executive perspective. C-Level decision makers are not just looking at operational efficiency initiatives and cost reduction programs to grow their future revenue streams; they are also looking at market strategy and opportunity analysis.
Business Architects are extremely valuable to an organization when they understand market and technology trends in a particular sector. They can then work with business leaders to develop strategies based on the capabilities and positioning of the company to increase revenue, enhance their market position and improve customer loyalty.
Senior management recognizes that technology also plays a crucial role in how organizations can achieve their business goals. A major role of the Business Architect is to help merge technology with business processes to help facilitate this business transformation.
There are a number of key technology areas for 2013 where Business Architects will be called upon to engage with the business such as Cloud Computing, Big Data and social networking. Therefore, the need to have competent Business Architects is a high priority in both the developed and emerging markets and the demand for Business Architects currently exceeds the supply. There are some training and certification programs available based on a body of knowledge, but how do you establish who is a practicing Business Architect if you are looking to recruit?
The Open Group is trying to address this issue and has incorporated a Business Architecture stream into The Open Group Certified Architect (Open CA) program. There has already been significant interest in this stream from both organizations and practitioners alike. This is because Open CA is a skills- and experience-based program that recognizes, at different levels, those individuals who are actually performing in a Business Architecture role. You must complete a candidate application package and be interviewed by your peers. Achieving certification demonstrates your competency as a Business Architect and therefore will stand you in good stead for both next year and beyond.
You can view the conformance criteria for the Open CA Business Architecture stream at https://www2.opengroup.org/ogsys/catalog/X120.
Trusted Technology
By Sally Long, Director of Consortia Services
The interdependency of all countries on global technology providers and technology providers' dependencies on component suppliers around the world is more certain than ever before. The need to work together in a vendor-neutral, country-neutral environment to assure there are standards for securing technology development and supply chain operations will become increasingly apparent in 2013. Securing the global supply chain can not be done in a vacuum, by a few providers or a few governments, it must be achieved by working together with all governments, providers, component suppliers and integrators and it must be done through open standards and accreditation programs that demonstrate conformance to those standards and are available to everyone.
The Open Group's Trusted Technology Forum is providing that open, vendor and country-neutral environment, where suppliers from all countries and governments from around the world can work together in a trusted collaborative environment, to create a standard and an accreditation program for securing the global supply chain. The Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard (O-TTPS) Snapshot (Draft) was published in March of 2012 and is the basis for our 2013 predictions.
We predict that in 2013:
- Version 1.0 of the O-TTPS (Standard) will be published.
- Version 1.0 will be submitted to the ISO PAS process in 2013, and will likely become part of the ISO/IEC 27036 standard, where Part 5 of that ISO standard is already reserved for the O-TTPS work
- An O-TTPS Accreditation Program – open to all providers, component suppliers, and integrators, will be launched
- The Forum will continue the trend of increased member participation from governments and suppliers around the world

Fibrocystic Breast Changes: Lumps That Are Normal
by Elaine Gottlieb
Do your breasts feel lumpy? It may be that you are experiencing fibrocystic breast changes—a benign condition that occurs in women of childbearing age.
It sounds very unglamorous, but the human breast is no more than a lumpy gland made up of milk glands, ducts, and the tissues that separate and support them. Most breasts have at least 1 or 2 lumps; however, if your breast feels especially lumpy and uncomfortable, you are probably experiencing fibrocystic breast changes.
What Are Fibrocystic Changes?
Fibrocystic changes are benign breast changes. The medical literature used to refer to them as fibrocystic disease. That was before fibrocystic changes were found to be no more a disease than menstruation or menopause. The breast tissue may feel dense with an irregular area of thicker tissue having a lumpy or ridge-like surface. You might also feel tiny bead-like masses scattered throughout the breasts.
Your breasts may feel tender, swollen, and full with a dull, heavy pain. They may be sensitive to touch with a burning sensation. This discomfort is normal and does not indicate the presence of disease. For some women, the pain is so severe that they cannot exercise or lie on their stomachs. Fibrocystic changes usually occur in both breasts, most often in the upper outer quadrant and the underside of the breast where most of the milk-producing glands are located.
Why Does This Happen?
Fibrocystic changes are associated with hormonal shifts in estrogen and progesterone, which affect the breast tissue. During the menstrual cycle, the breasts swell as the milk glands and ducts enlarge and the breasts retain water. After menstruation, the breast swelling goes down and the breasts return to normal.
Fibrocystic changes generally begin when women are in their 20s or 30s and usually last until menopause. For a small number of women, the condition worsens over the years, causing constant pain and lumpiness. In general, some of the lumps become permanent and may or may not shrink after menopause.
Breast Cysts
Some women with fibrocystic changes develop cysts in their breasts. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that is usually smooth, firm, movable, and sometimes tender. The cyst will generally enlarge before the menstrual period and shrink afterwards. A large cyst may be round and feel like an eyeball when pressed with the eyelid closed.
If you are concerned about a lump, your healthcare provider can determine whether or not it warrants further attention. Determining whether a lump is a cyst or something more serious can be determined by a simple office procedure known as fine needle aspiration. A fine-gauge needle is inserted into the lump and fluid is withdrawn.
If the lump is a cyst, it will collapse once the fluid is removed. If there is concern about the lump, a needle biopsy or a surgical biopsy can be done.
While there is no definitive, medically proven treatment for breast pain caused by fibrocystic changes, there are various remedies that may be helpful.
Avoiding Coffee and Cigarettes
For some women, avoiding foods and beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, chocolate, and soft drinks, may help to alleviate the discomfort. Women who stop smoking may notice that their lumps decrease as well.
Aspirin and other over-the-counter pain relievers, as well as heat application can relieve uncomfortable symptoms, as does wearing a bra that provides firm support. In serious cases, oral contraceptives—which change the hormonal balance in your body—can lessen fibrocystic changes. For severe cases, a synthetic form of the hormone androgen, may be prescribed. However, many women find that the side effects, including weight gain, hair growth, and voice changes, are more distressing than the fibrocystic discomfort.
Fibrocystic Changes and Breast Cancer
There is no correlation between fibrocystic changes and breast cancer. However, fibrocystic changes can make it more difficult to detect breast cancer. Being familiar with your breasts, and the changes throughout the month may be the best way to alleviate concerns about these cyclic changes. If you have any concerns though, it is a good idea to get any breast changes evaluated by your doctor.
Clinical Breast Exams
Experts have different views about if and when a woman should have a clinical breast exam (breast exam by a health professional). For women with average risk, The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends a clinical breast exam every 1-3 years for women ages 20-39 and every year for women over 40. Talk to your doctor about a schedule that is appropriate for you.
How to Examine Your Breasts
A breast self-exam (BSE) is a step-by-step examination of your breasts that you do yourself. BSE can be done on a regular schedule, occasionally, or not at all. The goal of the exam is to help you notice any changes or concerns in your breast tissue. Talk to your doctor about the risks, limitations, and benefits of BSE. If you choose to do the exam, follow these guidelines from the American Cancer Society:

Romantic Circles is delighted to announce the publication in its Praxis Series of Romantic Antiquarianism, edited by Noah Heringman and Crystal B. Lake.
Featuring essays by leading art historians, literary scholars, and historians of antiquarianism, this volume sheds new light on Romanticism's material and visual cultures, and reveals the important role that antiquarian discourses and practices played in shaping neoclassicism, the sublime, and other major concepts of the Romantic period. In this moment, antiquarianism became all the more important, as increasingly specialized study of historical periods and different types of objects shaped the networks that linked antiquaries, engravers, and publishers with a public eager to experience in detail the customs and manners or material culture of the past.
Romantic Antiquarianism includes an editor's introduction by Noah Heringman and Crystal B. Lake, with essays by Martin Myrone, Jonathan Sachs, Thora Brylowe, Rosemary Hill, Timothy Campbell, Ina Ferris, & Sam Smiles, and a response by Jonah Siegel. It can be found here:

In 1984, YES! Publisher Fran Korten worked alongside Barack Obama's mother, Ann Soetoro, at the Ford Foundation's office in Jakarta, Indonesia. Ann's daughter, Maya, who was 14 at the time, attended the Jakarta International School with Fran's daughters, Alicia and Diana. Maya was recently in Seattle preparing for the launch of her new children's book, Ladder to the Moon, and Fran talked with her for the first time in 27 years. The book is a tale of Maya's daughter Suhaila's adventure with her grandmother Ann, who died in 1995, long before Suhaila was born. In the storybook, grandmother and grandchild climb a ladder to the moon where together they look back at the Earth. As they see tragedies unfold, they reach back to help. The book, launched in April 2011, is illustrated by Yuyi Morales, and published by Candlewick Press. Fran talked with Maya about the book, her life, and her reflections on her mother and her famous brother.
Fran Korten: This is your first book. What inspired you to write a children's book?
Maya Ng: In 2008, I was campaigning for my brother and had a bit of down time because my husband was taking care of Suhaila, who was then 3 years old. So I was in Chicago in the basement of my brother's home, and I thought to myself, if my brother can risk the enormous rejection [of possibly not being elected,] then I can risk the much smaller rejection of not having anyone pick up my book. I became emboldened. I think the campaign resulted in a lot of people, not simply relatives, being emboldened to try new things. It was a very fruitful time.
One could also say that the book was born years earlier. When I was pregnant with Suhaila, I came across some boxes that Mom had saved for me that said "for Maya's children." They contained my childhood toys and books. Seeing them filled me with sadness that she wasn't there to share this time with me. In a way it was like losing her all over again.
My daughter was born in 2004, just a couple of months before my brother made his speech at the Democratic National Convention. I suddenly had all of these new questions. So this was when I began imagining what my mother would have been like with her grandchildren and what they would have gotten from her.
Korten: Have your children read this book?
Ng: Yes, I've read it to them. In fact Suhaila, who is now 6, helped me with a couple of the ideas. The orphan children leaping up like flying fish—that was her idea.
Korten: How does your other daughter, Savita, feel about her sister being in this book?
Ng: She doesn't know it's her sister because she is two and can't read, so she thinks it's her. She points and says "That's me." Then Suhaila says, "No, that's me," and she gets very upset. I've got another book in the works. It's a young adult novel entitled "Yellow Wood," based on the Robert Frost poem—two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and we took the one less traveled, and that made all the difference. In that book the main protagonist's name is Savita. I joke that I can't have another child without another book contract.
Korten: Ann is, of course, grandmother to Barack and Michelle's children, Malia and Sasha. Have they read the book?
Ng: Yes, they have. They liked it, though they have not seen the version with the illustrations. I had received that version at Christmas, but we had so much going on I forgot to bring it. My brother's book had just come out, so we talked more about his book. At Christmas several families and old friends join us—there's about 13 children in this group. It's a wonderful opportunity for my brother to be precisely who he has always been. He can completely relax. He even connects with high school friends.
Korten: In the book, why did you have the grandmother and grandchild go to the moon?
Ng: Mom loved the moon. She would wake me up in the middle of the night to go gaze at the moon. I named my daughter Suhaila because in Sanskrit it means "the glow around the moon." So it was in honor of my mother. Part of why she loved the moon was that for everyone it was the same. Maybe they were looking at it at a different time of day, but if it was a new moon for you, it would be a new moon for me.
So the moon became a symbol of connection in that way. The main message of my book is that we are interconnected, that we can help one another, that our actions have an impact on others. So why don't we act to impact one another benevolently instead of adversely? I wanted the moon to act as a place where everyone could gather, since it is the same for everyone. It's a very calming force. I think of the moon and the tides—there's sort of a sweet earthly caress that takes place through the water. So I thought of the moon as a place of sanctuary, as a place of healing and a reminder to all of us that we share the same space. Even though it feels like we are far away, we are in fact united and connected.
Korten: If you think of a 5-year-old reading this book, what do you hope the child gets out of it?
Ng: I don't imagine children of that age reading this for the first time by themselves. I think it can be a means for parents to have conversations with their children about the people who came before them, people perhaps who are gone.
I was thinking of specific things when I wrote about worlds and languages lost and about natural disasters, strife, and trembling towers. But I don't name them because I want the book to be relevant for many years to come—to others who will have their own events. I want parents to be able to choose whether to use this book to talk to their children about the fact that bad things happen—people did lose their lives with this tsunami or that quake.
I wanted the images to be neutral enough that parents could simply say that sometimes life is hard. And if you have the power to make others feel better and if you are loving and kind, what does that mean? What does that look like? I think it's an opportunity to have conversations about empathy, about caring, and about humanizing traits that we want to develop in our own children. And perhaps giving kids a place where they can safely ask questions about things that have happened. But not every parent will feel comfortable talking about that with a 7-year-old. So a parent or a teacher can choose. I'd love for this book to be used in elementary schools as well.
Korten: The people in this book are drawn to be ethnically ambiguous. Did you have the illustrator, Yuyi Morales, do that on purpose?
Ng: Yes, I wanted to make sure that there were lots of people in the world who could look at the illustrations and say, "That looks like someone I know." And I think Yuyi's done that. The way my mom is portrayed, she could be Brazilian or Samoan or Egyptian. Creating someone who is universal reminds us that we all share certain fundamental traits by virtue of being human.
Korten: When I reflect on the work Ann did in the time that I knew her in Indonesia—with metal workers, batik makers, basket weavers, and leather workers, I realize her work was really about jobs. The Ford Foundation hired her to help answer the question, "How do all these people flowing into the cities from the rural areas make a living? What will be their jobs or livelihoods?" So it's interesting that now her son is struggling with that same question—where are the jobs for people in this country? What do you think would be her advice to him, based on her long engagement with that question?
Ng: That parallel occurred to me as well. I don't know for sure what she would say, but I think it would be much the same—looking at diversification of opportunity. In Indonesia, people were focused primarily on rice cultivation as the source of livelihoods. And she was saying, "Hey, don't discount these other efforts. These cottage industries are very important in keeping this economy stable." I think she would argue the same thing here—look at many points of entry. Yes, create jobs in new arenas—technology, alternative energy, exploration, environmental stewardship, climate, but also look back at things foundational to our country and offer to assist them in adapting to current situations. Adaptation is something that I think she would try to encourage so that older occupations wouldn't necessarily need to die.
Korten: In 2009, for Mother's Day, I wrote an article for YES! entitled "Would Obama's Mother Be Amazed?" What is your answer? Would Ann be amazed that her son is president of the United States?
Ng: No, I don't think she would be. I think that, like me, there would be moments when she would be sort of overwhelmed with the recognition that this is immense. That's what happens to me sometimes. I'll be sitting somewhere and look up and think "Wow—the forces impacting the world through my family are great."
The fact that my brother became president is in keeping with his trajectory, his character. He was always a wonderful leader, he was always charismatic, and he was always ambitious. There were moments in his career when he felt his destiny resided in something larger than what he was doing at the time.
There was a moment when I walked into his office and said, "How are you?" And he said, "I feel like I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing." I laughed at him because he was a law professor, he was consulting for a law firm, and he was a state senator. I said, "Only you would be doing all three of those things and regard yourself as an underachiever." This was back in maybe 2003. So that indicated to me that there was something pulling him toward this place. So I'm not too surprised.
I think that he is well-suited for the job, because he's so even-tempered. But he is a very private man in many ways. He likes meditative moments, and he likes long walks by himself. He doesn't get those things. That's, I think, the hardest part.
He is inclined to try to represent the largest possible constituency, to try to build bridges, even though there has been some backlash from people who are working only to bring him down. But the truth is, there are also a large number of people who were brought to a place of cooperation as a result of his example. I think his coolness, his fairness, his idealism, coupled with a certain pragmatism, make him well-suited to the job. I think all of those things were in evidence while Mom was alive and I think that she would have seen that it made sense for him to be where he is now.
Korten: So what's next for you?
Ng: I want to finish my novel, but I'm not sure when. I am teaching social studies methods and a practicum at the college of education, and I supervise student teachers in the field. I do multicultural education and am also consulting for the East-West Center. And I have two kids, and I'm going to begin painting soon. So it's hard to find time. I think, how lucky we are to be able to have all these choices.
Fran Korten interviewed Maya Soetoro-Ng for Beyond Prisons, the Summer 2011 issue of YES! Magazine.
We need to update you on where Truthout stands this month.
To be brutally honest, Truthout is behind on our fundraising goals for the year. There are a lot of reasons why. We're dealing with broad trends in our industry, trends that have led publications like Vice, BuzzFeed, and National Geographic to make painful cuts. Everyone is feeling the squeeze of inflation. And despite its lasting importance, news readership is declining.
To ensure we stay out of the red by the end of the year, we have a long way to go. Our future is threatened.
We've stayed online over two decades thanks to the support of our readers. Because you believe in the power of our work, share our transformative stories, and give to keep us going strong, we know we can make it through this tough moment.
Our fundraising campaign ends in a few hours, and we still must raise $11,000. Please consider making a donation before time runs out.

Vevey is a cute little town in the canton Vaud, on the North shore of Lake Léman. It is situated between the cities of Lausanne and Montreux. This area was already inhabited around 2000 BC and remains of piloti were found there. It's Roman name was Viviscus and the ancient Greek astronomer and philosopher Ptolemy called it Ouikos. During the Middle Ages it was a station on the Via Francigena road that linked Rome to Canterbury. Later it was ruled by the bishopry of Lausanne and the Blonay family. After the Vaud Revolution in 1798, Vevey lived a period of prosperity and in the 19th century mechanical construction (ateliers mécaniques de Vevey), food (Nestlé - yuck!) and tobacco (Rinsoz & Ormond) industries were built in the area.
The old town is very pretty with it's quaint and colorful buildings and narrow alleys, and the lakeside offers on of the most gorgeously breathtaking (fully south facing) views on the surrounding Alps. It is impossible to admire the landscapes without having a gaping mouth and being amazed!

Lovely, lovely photos. Thanks for sharing these with us. Love them!ReplyDelete
Il se dégage une atmosphère incroyable que tes photos, j'aime beaucoup ces reflets dorés et cette douceur de vivre en automne. Et puis, je connais bien la Riviera, ce n'est pas pour rien si Lavaux est entré au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, c'est un panorama vraiment merveilleux. :)ReplyDelete

Census takes what the analytics team does out of static dashboards and into tools that the rest of the company uses, allowing us to actually deliver on the promise of being "data driven".
I used to develop reverse ETL systems with Python and Airflow for destinations like Eloqua, Mixpanel, Braze, Intercom, and Salesforce. Every destination requires different data types, formats, rate limits, and API requests. Census saves me from maintaining my custom code, so I can spend more time to optimize the system itself.

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?ReplyDelete
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

I had a wonderful surprise yesterday: Technicolor Kitchen has been nominated for best baking and dessert blog on Saveur's Best Food Blog Awards!! How amazing is that? I can hardly believe it. Please, vote for me! :)
Can you imagine how much I talked about last night? My poor husband. :)
I had to have a scoop of this sorbet to chill out – I adapted the amount of ingredients from a DH pineapple sorbet recipe, but the idea of adding mint was Joao's.
Pineapple mint sorbet
adapted from Donna Hay magazine
1/3 cup + 2 ½ tablespoons (84g) caster sugar
½ cup (120ml) water
400g peeled pineapple
handful of mint leaves
3 tablespoons lime juice
Prepare the basic sorbet syrup: place sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 1 minute. Set aside to cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Process the pineapple until you get a thick juice. Add the mint and process until finely chopped. Combine the pineapple juice, lime juice and syrup in a bowl and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet is just firm. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 3-4 hours.
Serves 8
