Questions still unanswered
Last fall, Councilor Dennis Slattery emailed me the following:
"… I have said from the very beginning I have no interest in your (Petitioners for Restoration of Our Plaza) issues with how this was done, the process and your characterization of the work …"
Time after time, the petitioners got the same message from everyone on the council majority, meaning Greg Lemhouse, Pam Marsh, Rich Rosenthal and Mike Morris. No one wanted to discuss the "how" of the creation of the Plaza — they flatly refused to address these issues. Letters to the editor in both the Tidings and Sneak Preview have addressed this issue.
Yet just last week, Councilor Greg Lemhouse stated to the council, the Downtown Beautification Committee and the public:
"… you know every well that all of (the Petitioners') questions have been answered many times and that no information has been kept from (them).
Mr. Lemhouse's new assertion flies in the face of Mr. Slattery's past statements. He should explain the apparent contradiction in his two statements to the public,.
A list of many questions that have gone unaddressed and unanswered are posted on the Petitioners for Restoration of Our Plaza, Change.org website.
When will the council majority begin to address and answer the unanswered questions about the Plaza? They have not done so, to date, despite Mr. Lemhouse's assertions.

Ditch the microphones
I agree with Noah Bopp's letter on Aug. 23. I attended my first play at OSF in 1952 — Julius Caesar, three hours, no intermission, sitting on a park bench on a grassy slope. I fell in love with Shakespeare and the festival. Many summers I came back to see plays.
I moved to Ashland in 1990 partly because of the festival. One of my pleasures was admiring the actors' ability to project their voices in the Elizabethan Theatre. This required real dedication and training.
This year, with the miked sound, anyone can play on the stage. Upstairs it was disconcerting to see a singer in the middle of the audience in Woods with her voice coming from above the stage. Downstairs in the back, the words of the clowns in Two Gents were muffled.
When the bar is high, people will reach it. Ditch the enhanced sound. Teach and expect the actors to project. If voice projection is a basic for OSF, schools will train their students. If the actors can't do it, then they can play in the Bowmer or Thomas. And give us four Shakespeare plays a year. I could say more but my time is up.
Edith Montgomery, Ashland
Why can't they see?
I agree completely with Beth Gould. Why can't those silly Jews realize that if they would just sit back and relax and let the terrorists kill them whenever they wish, all this trouble would stop? (And I hope your readers know satire when they see it.)

Wet conditions have lowered the fire danger and prompted the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to lift burning restrictions in all or parts of 32 Minnesota counties.
Wet conditions have lowered the fire danger and prompted the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to lift burning restrictions in all or parts of 32 Minnesota counties. Restrictions were lifted at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 21.
The following counties have been removed from burning restrictions: Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Benton, Carlton, Cass, Chisago, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Isanti, Itasca, Hennepin, Hubbard, Kanabec, Mahnomen, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Otter Tail, Pine, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, Wadena, Washington and Wright. Restrictions are also lifted in southern St. Louis and southern Beltrami counties.
Restrictions are lifted in Beltrami County south of Highway 1. In St. Louis County, restrictions are off for that portion south of a line running from Silica on the west to Central Lakes and Brimson on the east. The exact line is a township line between 55 and 56 north and includes all of township 56.
Although the state burning restrictions are lifted in these counties, local areas, counties or municipalities may have specific regulations or restrictions that affect burning operations. Check with local authorities to obtain proper permits before burning.
Restrictions remain in Cook, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Pennington, Roseau, north St. Louis and north Beltrami counties. It is anticipated these will be lifted soon.
Because fire danger can change quickly, DNR foresters can turn off burning permits in individual counties whenever conditions warrant. This could occur if there is a dry, windy day when fires could start easily and burn quickly. Check the fire restrictions page on the DNR website for information on daily changes to burn permits.
The DNR advises to keep burn piles small, have a water supply nearby, and stay with the fire until it is completely out. If the fire escapes, homeowner is responsible for the damage and suppression costs.
Burning permits are available through state and federal forestry offices, from local fire wardens, or online by paying a $5 fee per year. Online permits need to be activated on the day of the burn.

Bruce Springsteen Tells Dirty Jokes Onstage
There once was a man from New Jersey / Who told people jokes that were dirty / And then this rock star / Strapped on his guitar / And played the crowd hits that are sturdy.
That's a pretty awful limerick, but it ranks right up there with some of the groaners that Bruce Springsteen told during his set at the Stand Up for Heroes benefit on Nov. 6. The evening, which marked the organization's seventh annual event, found Springsteen headlining a diverse group of musicians and comedians that included Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Jim Gaffigan and Roger Waters, all of whom entertained a crowd brought together to support veterans of the armed services.
But one thing the night was lacking, in Springsteen's view, was a round of good old-fashioned dirty jokes. So, as Stereogum reports, he kicked off his set by going blue with a round of groaners that we can't repeat here (but you can watch them yourself in the above video). "I didn't say they were good dirty jokes," he chuckled at one point. "I just said they were jokes."
Fortunately, the Boss isn't quitting his day job; after getting those gags out of his system, he proceeded to deliver what the audience came for with an acoustic set that included performances of 'Dancing in the Dark,' 'If I Should Fall Behind' and 'Dream Baby Dream,' all of which went over better than his stand-up material. Good thing it was all for a good cause, right?

Post subject: Interview with ATTACKER (Usa)
An interview with this old band ... Only available in Spanish, add in English so they can read ....
Interview ATTACKER
1-Arrgghhh!!! Is a great honor to have the band in our pages. Its been many years and without doubts records like Battle At Helms Deep and The Second Coming were pieces really worthy of having in your collection nowadays. Ok, lets start this interview with you telling us about how did you do in you tour conquering Europe.
Michael: Let me start by saying thank you for this opportubity to spread the word of Attacker! Europe was a blast, we always have a great time there. The fans are fantastic and the friends we have made are too numerous to count. We can't wait to return again. The Keep it True X festival was awesome, 2 days of new and classic bands. Judging by the crowd reaction, we did extremermely well.[/size]
2- Keeping in mind that many of the readers of this zine have no fucking idea about the bands course through all these years we have to ask the same usual and boring shit. We know that the band is born in 1983 and two years later you release your first LP Battle at Helms Deep. Can you go back in time and tell us about the beginning and how did you give life to the first record? Back then, What motivated you to create the band under the Attacker monicker?
Michael: We had just gotten our song, "(Call On) The Attacker on the Metal Massacre 5 compilation from Metal Blade Records in 1984, that led to the offer for a full album.
We had already written most of the songs and probably finished them by summer of 1984. We started the recording in the fall of 1984 and completed it in the spring of 1985.It was released in sept. 1985. We were actually called "Warloc" early on but changed due to the German "Warlock" in late 1983. The Attacker name came from the (Call On)the Attacker song we already had.
3- Back then Metal was at its height. How was the response to the first record from the Metal fans of those years? By the way, Did you have in mind since the first record the musical style of the band?
Michel: We had gotten very positive responses to the record. It was a very origianl album and really did not sound like the typical metal of the time. We did not really set out to have a certain direction for the album, it just took it's own form as we developed as musicians.
4- Alter three years, you release a second album entitled The Second Coming, in the period between the first and second record What was the band dedicated to? A lot of live shows? With which bands did you like to play?
Michael: We had let Bob go after the 1st record and found John Leone to replace him. We basically set out to work on the 2nd album songs. We had done so shows with Saxon, Savatage, Hades jst to name a few at that time. We really enjoyed playing with any band had cool people in it's membership. I must say the Fates Warning were the coolest guys and we always had fun with thise guys.
5- Youve had a lot of members that have passed through the band, many of them coming from bands like Jersey Dog, Hades and Sleepy Hollow. I guess you were friends with those bands. With which bands from that time did you like to have some drinks? Did you have any kind of trouble with any band?
Michael: Truthfully, except for Lou(bass) who came from Hades, Jersey Dogs and Sleepy Hollow were formed from the ashes of Attacker once we disbanded. Yes, we were friends with these bands. We never had any problems and Jersey Dogs had even shared the stage with Sleepy Hollow at one point.
6- Since were talking about the subject of the bands of the surrounding circle of Attacker. Tell us How was the New Jersey scene when all began? Do you remember any anecdote? What do you think about bands like Heathens Rage, Phantom Lord, Exorcist, Devil Childe, Seven Witches y so many others? Do you enjoy the current Black and Death Metal bands from your city?
Michael: Back in the early 80's, it was very exciting time, metal was just getting popular and there were plenty of clubs to play. I honestly, except for Seven Witches, am not too familiar with the other bands. I am not really a fan of black and death metal. I just never understood what was so great about them, no good vocalists, extremely negative and disturbing themes, not what I'm interested in.
7- You claim to be the first band using J. R. R. Tolkien writings as an inspiration for your album. What did you like about those books? Many Black Metal bands are inspirited by those texts too In which way did Tolkien inspire your way of working the lyric concept?
Michael: Those books just have such great imagery. They make the imagaination wander with such great tales and it is no wonder so many have looked to them for inspiration. Bob actually wrote the lyrics on that album, so I don't know excatly what was going on in his head exactly.
8- Were aware that youll participate in a huge festival where youll share stage with bands like Omen, Razor, Sentinel Beast, Manilla Road, HelStar, Titan Force, Metal Inquisitor, etc. How does the band feel about being invited to these king of events? Can you tell us how is a festival this big? How does the band prepare? Do you take a lot of merchandising for your tours?
Michael: It is a great feeling to be invited to such an event. We had played the same festival 4 years earlier and this years was the 10th edition. The promoters had asked back some of the bands that had appeared before to return. It is not as big as some of the other Euro fests, but that is what makes it great. It has a unique atmosphere and is really like a big family, you always see many of the same people time after time and that is great. We prepeare as for any show, as much rehearsal as we can to make sure the show goes off with no problems. We take what we feel we will sell for these events, at a festival you are competeing with 18 or 19 other bands for merchandise sales so you don't bring too much.
9- We guess that most of you are married, have kids and a wife that gives you problems when you have a long tour. What do your families think about the way you make music and about the public that follow you? A lot of alcohol and hot women after the shows? What is most complicated when having to split your time among the band and your personal and family life?
Michael: No one has any problems like this fortunately. We do not do lomg tours since we all have regular jobs to pay the bills. We have our families travel with us so we turn into one huge family on the road and we always have a great time. So, not much alcohol or women after the shows. I guess having enough time off of our work is the hardest thing to organize for us.
10- Alter the great record The Second Coming the splitted up What happened back then? What caused the split up after that great record? Is there anything that you would change of the history youve had to live?
Michael: The reason really wa that thrash metal was the popular style and Attacker was not thrash, especially wit the higher range vocals. We just decided it ws time to move on to ther things. I think history happens as it does for a reason and I would rakther not try to change it, just accept was had transpired.
11- Attacker was buried for about 16 years I understand that Only Bob Mitchell, who was the vocalist in your first album, went on with bands like Alchemy X and his own band called Vyndykator. What happened with the other members of Attacker? Did you continue into Metal with other bands were not aware of?
Michael: I did not do too much until the mid 90's when I started an Accept tribute band. That got me enjoying the old school stuff again. The other guys really did not do anythting that I am aware of.
12- Alter Mitchells departure John Leone comes in as vocalist, who was in charge of recording the voices in the demo 86 and the second LP The Second Coming How was the reclusion process when Mitchell left the band? What do you think about the job done by Jhon after all these years youve worked with him?
Michael: We had John after a relatively short time and he fit right in with us. The job he did on that album was and still is absolutely amazing.
13- Sadly, in the year 94 the Metal scene loses a great singer. How did you live this painful event? Under which circumstances did Jhon die? Do you think that he would have been in the band nowadays if he was still alive?
Michael: I had gotten the news after he had already passed away and it was a real shock to rest of us. He was a really nice guy. I was told he had cancer and that caused his death. If he were still here, he would have definitely been back in the band before Bob.
14-Since I mentioned the Demo 86 Can you tell us about your first demo from the 84 too? The one you edited with Mitchell and I think you self financed it. How was the distribution of these demos? Were these only for promotional use? Did they have any layout?
Michael: We had decided to record 3 songs with our own money and see what kind of response we would get. We sent them to all the magazines and fanzines and sold many from the reviews we had received. They were not very fancy, just a cassette tape with the songs written on it. Very bare bones!
15- In the year 2004, alter some concerts and after announcing the band was back, yo release a third album entitled Soul Taker How was all this work for you after all the inactive time with ATTACKER? Have you ever thought about keeping the same line for your musical performance? Can you tell us about the musical and lyrical differences that you may recognize between the old and current stuff ?
Michael: It was a lot of fun getting back and playing some older songs, I think we really needed his to happen. We had been away from the band and each other for too long. Musically, the songs just flowed naturally and we did not have to think about the style, it was just there. I think that album was really a combination of the 2 first records, something that has been mentioned by reviewers many times over.
16- How did this record do? Have you seen a lot of changes in the nowadays Heavy Metal scene? Do you miss anything youve had to live as a band?
Michael: It did pretty well, most people are skeptical when older bands reunite, but we were recieved very well as a good reunion who stayed true to our roots. Todays metal scene for what we do is very small compared to the 80's, but we still have our fanbase out there. No, not at all. I don't think we have anything to miss.
17- Your beginning was with the label Metal Blade, they were in top of the Metal scene and edited a lot of records that are classics nowadays. How did you get to work with them? Michael: Have you though about working again with Metal Blade these days?
Michael: As I mentioned earlier, we started with theMteal Massare 5 compilation album and that led to the full album. I don'e think they would work with us since they are more a death metal label these days.
18- Regarding the previous question Did, being in one of the best Metal labels from the 80s, give you an idea about how a new label should work with the band nowadays?
Michael: Absolutely, we have learned much from our previous experiences and it helps us deal with labels today.
19- The bands return was produced by Iron Glory recs. And up to these days youve worked with Sentinel Steel Recs., Eat Metal recs., and now with Chavis Recs. Which are the requirements you demand as a band when a label wants to ork with you? Is there any difference between the work done by Metal Blade and the named labels?
Michael: Originally, we would have worked with Sentinel Steel, but he was not releasing anything at the time. We are currently and will be for the future, a Sentinel Steel Band. The Chavis release was just a "best of" and for only that 1 cd. For us, Sentinel Steel has been the best label by far. Denis Gulbey is the most honest peson we have ever dealt with. I would not dream of working with any other label from now on.
20- Sentinel Steel is a label more dedicated to diffuse Heavy Metal and 80s bands. After Soul Taker you released a fourth album entitled The Unknown under this label Tell me about this work and the concept behing its cover Are you satisfied with the results? Do you include extra merchandising in the new records as a support?
Michael: The concept was for the Song & title track "The Unknown" It reflected the lyrics on how you can lose control and let things overwhelm you and go crazy in life. The somgs came very easily and we wrote over a few months, which is a short time for us. This release had no extra merchandising, just a few bonus tracks left over from the recording sessions.
21. Both of your older Works have been reissued with new covers these days Is it my idea or you wanted to let know with those two front cover that both records were tied to Tolkiens writings? Can you explain the old cover for The Second Coming and why the new one is so different?
Michael: Actually the second recored was not tied to Tolkien. It was a statement about the U.S.& Soviet Union cold war and the potential for a nuclear showdown. The original cover with the guns representd a U.S. gun and a Russian gun although not many people got that.
22- The bands new release is entitled Standing the Test of Time, which is a compilation of your best songs. What made choose each track? Do they have anything special for you or you chose them according to the response from the public and the moods they provoke? Do you, as a fan, like compilations from bands you like or you think is a way to raise the sales? What do you think it would be the plus of this compilation?
Michael: We chose songs that we usually play live and that the fans seem to like. I don't really have any feelings either way about compilations but I think it may give some people who don't know us a chance to check us out and yes, maybe help the sales of the other cds'
23- I can realice that in all the big gigs youve been youve shared stage with renowned Heavy Metal bands, many of them were pioneers in the British Metal like CLOVEN HOOF, BLITZKRIEG, GASKIN, etc.. Did you use to like the NWOBHM scene in your beginnings as a band? Is there any Heavy Metal scene you like more than another or you just pick your bands individually?
Michael: We definitely liked the NWOBM when we started but I would not say that one scene influenced us more than another. 24-Which bands are the influences for the way of playing of Attacker? What musicians have inspired your way of writing music in the old days and currently?
Michael: We were inspired by the likes of Priest, Maiden, Saxon, Scorpions, Accept, Riot, Anvil and many more great bands of the time. I think they gave us inspiration then and even now.
25- In the year 2000 Attacker suffers another loss in its line up. This time is one of the band founders, the guitar player Jim Mooney.
Fuck!! You really have a hard time to record a new album.Isnt it? Do you think that Jhon and Jims deaths affected somehow the synergy you had as a band? I guess Soul Taker must be a really special record for you after all this, right?
Michael: The death of our friends is what prompted us to record Soul Taker and do it for those guys. We felt it was time to pay tribute for all the work they both contributed to the band over the years and that did make SoulTaker a special record for us.
26- Alter all this, Mike, do you have any thoughts about death.. Do you believe in eternal life?
Michael: I'm not big fan of death. I have seen too many good people pass on and too many bad ones continuing their life. I'm not sure about the eternal life question, I guess until I die, I won't really know the truth. It is a belief that one can look to for comfort in the face of death and that's a good thing.
27- Hey, Mike, in the early times of this new beginning you didnt agree so much with Bob Mitchell about how was the band supossed to be.. Is that the reason he dindt join you when you were looking for a frontman What made you change your minds? Have you had any disagreement with this?
Michael: Actually, alot of was what reported about our relationship with Bob was not true. He told some stories of his version, and that is why we did not go to him at first because of past bad blood. At the time of our reunion, we had a hard time finding vocalists and that was why after Bob contacted me that we said what the hell and took him back. Just to let you know, as I think you are not aware yet, we just let Bob go from the band again due to the same problems of 20 years ago and already have a replacement. He is Walter Figueroa and he was formerly of the band "Severed Hand" that featured Sebastian Bach's son on drums. He also played in a cover band with Jack Frost of Seven Witches. He was actually recommended by Jack Frost, Alan Tecchio of Hades and Ski, former lead singer of Deadly Blessing. That should say alot about his talent.
28- Heey, Mike, I found out you have a certain relation with Chile because o fan old girlfriend you had Did you ever come here? Do you know anything about us, our culture and the Metal bands from our country?
Michael: No, I never had the pleasure of visiting. I honestly do not know that much an bout your culture or the bands form there. We don't get much information here at home. I would love to visit someday though.
29- What does the band request to be able to play in South America? Have you ever played in a South American country? How do you imagine the scene from this side of the world, considering that poverty is one of the main features of these countries?
Michael: It mostly comes down to being able to to paid enough to cover our expenses for such a trip. Flying 5 guys around the world can get qiute costly. No, we have never been to South America. I have heard that the South Americans love Heavy Metal, I have seen videos of bands playing down there and it looks to be a good scene from what I have viewed.
30- Heyy, Mike What do you think anyone, who doesnt know about you history and music, should know?
Michael: I guess I would say that we play true metal from the heart because we love truly love it and hopefully people can see that we are geunine and maybe give us a listen. We always strive to do the best that we can at any given time so that we can earn the respect of the fans!
31- Can you go back to your partying days and tell us about them A lot of madness in your old times? Any funny history that you can tell us?
Michael: To be honest, I think we were a pretty boring band as far as partying goes. We did not drink and party much and I am still like this today. We always had fun but not because of be drunk or partying alot. We were just naturally high on life and never needed any help, we probably would have been dangerous if we were a hard partying band.
32- Which do you think that have been the most influential Metal bands from the USA? Are there any other glorious bands from your country that havent got the deserved recognition outside USA? In which place would you put your band?
Michael: Of all metal bands I guess Metallica would the most, but not an influence on us but for metal in general. Truthfully, I was always more influenced by Euro bands and less by U.S. bands so I really can't comment. I am having a hard time trying to think of some. Again, I'm not sure where we would rank, that is for fans to determine individually.
33 Heyy, Mike What do you think about Manowar? Did you use to like their way of playing Metal and the way they claimed to the world that their music was True Heavy Metal? What do you think about how they expose themselves with bikes, beautiful women and their flashy shows? Did you ever think about that kind of future for Attacker?
Michael: I do like Manowar mainly because they achieved their success by themselves. They had so much trouble with record labels and kept going and got bigger and bigger. The bikes and girls are good for them and that's their thing, so it's cool. For Attacker, that would not be our choice, we are a different bunch of guys with different visions.
34- Ok, Mike, what can we expect from Attacker in the near future? What do you plan?
Michael: We are planning a new album which we will begin writing very soon and it will feature our new vocalist as I mentioned earlier. Then, after the new album we will try to do as many shows as our schedules will allow.
35- Ok, to end this up, and keeping in mind the huge distance between our countries and that ATTACKER has never got an interview from Chile Wed like you to tell us any bands secret or something youve never told in a interview through all the years Some guilty pleasure Something funny to leave ATTACKERs mark into our pages and Chile
Michael: Wow, We have always told what was going on and I really don't have any secrets to unveil. I know it sounds hard to believe, but we always tell it like it is and try not to hide anything since we believe honesty is the best policy and the best way to stay out of trouble.
36- Were done with this ordail, Mike We hope it hasnt been a bore to answer this piece of shit This space is free for you to say anything to end this up Thanks for your answers and the music youve given us through all these years
Michael: I would like to say thanks again for the chance to speak my mind and say hi to all the Chilean metalheads, Stay true and Stay Heavy!!!!!!

Breast cancer detection increased by 27% when three-dimensional mammography was combined with conventional breast imaging, investigators reported.
The combined detection rate for invasive and in situ cancers was 6.1 per 1,000 exams with conventional mammography and 8.0 per 1,000 with combined imaging.
Combining 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) with conventional imaging led to a 40% increase in detection of invasive breast cancers and a 15% decrease in false-positive results, according to an article published online in Radiology.
"The overall actual number of women recalled as a result of arbitration was larger for those initially assigned a positive score at mammography plus tomosynthesis," Per Skaane, MD, PhD, of the University of Oslo in Norway, and co-authors wrote of their findings.
"However, the concordant increase in the detection of 24 additional cancers resulted in a similar positive predictive value for the cases ultimately recalled for arbitration.
"Because of the paired nature of the current study, these results could be biased against mammography plus tomosynthesis in that some of the dismissed cases initially referred on the basis of mammography alone might not have been dismissed if tomosynthesis had not been available at arbitration."
Despite its proven ability to reduce breast cancer mortality, screening mammography has several limitations, such as overlapping imaged tissue. As a result, several x-ray and non-x-ray imaging modalities have been evaluated adjuncts or replacements for conventional plain-film mammography.
Alternative imaging techniques evaluated to date have in common one potential drawback: Each is performed as a separate procedure that requires technical and professional resources.
Use of tomosynthesis has been limited by inadequacy of image reconstruction possible with two-dimensional data sets, the authors noted in their introduction. The advent of a new generation of detectors has created the potential to integrate tomosynthesis into routine clinical practice.
The feasibility of using tomosynthesis in breast imaging was demonstrated more than a decade ago, and the FDA recently approved the first commercial system for clinical use.
Clinical evaluation of tomosynthesis has consisted largely of small retrospective studies involving specific patient populations in experimental settings. Skaane and colleagues performed a randomized clinical trial to evaluate tomosynthesis in clinical practice.
The study was designed to address four issues: cancer detection rate with tomosynthesis; false-positive rate; positive predictive value for women recalled after arbitration of imaging results; and the types of cancers detected by tomosynthesis.
The researchers studied a subgroup of women enrolled in an ongoing breast cancer screening program in Norway. Investigators screened 12,631 women with both 2D mammography and tomosynthesis.
Screening consisted of two views of each breast by digital mammography and tomosynthesis, which added about 10 seconds to image acquisition for each view. Combined imaging doubled the radiation dose compared with mammography alone but remained within accepted safety limits.
Each image was interpreted independently by four experienced radiologists, and a positive score was ≥2. All positive scores were reviewed during an arbitration meeting to reach a consensus.
The final analysis included 12,621 study participants. Mammography alone resulted in the detection of 77 cancers, and mammography plus tomosynthesis increased the detections to 101, a difference that translated into a 31% increase in the detection rate with combined imaging.
Adjustment for reader-specific performance levels resulted in a ratio of 1.27 for combined imaging versus mammography alone.
False-positive rates were 61.1 per 1,000 screenings with mammography and 53.1 per 1,000 with the addition of tomosynthesis, a 13% reduction in false-positives, which increased to 15% after adjustment.
Evaluation of the different types of cancer detected by the two imaging strategies showed that mammography plus tomosynthesis led to detection of 81 invasive cancers versus 56 with mammography alone, a 40% improvement (P<0.001). Use of tomosynthesis also increased detection of higher-grade cancers by 26%.
Arbitration led to recall of 265 women (77 with cancer) and 351 with combined imaging (100 with cancer), resulting in positive predictive values of 29.1% and 28.5%, respectively.
"These results suggest that, despite the fact that the number of cases assigned a positive score before arbitration and recalled after arbitration was greater with mammography plus tomosynthesis, there was no substantial decrease in the positive predictive value in these patients," the authors noted.
The study was supported by Hologic, which provided the tomosynthesis equipment for the study.
Skaane and several co-authors disclosed relationships with Hologic, and co-authors included Hologic employees.

Even the most casual observer on issues of public affairs would agree that there is no shortage of bad news these days about the state of public education. Even the recent editorial in the Chestnut Hill Local ("Hoping for the Neighborhood School") leaves one with the feeling of inevitable negativity about urban public school options, resigned to sighing and handwringing, and demoralized about the possibility of affecting change. It's time to change the headlines.
How about "Bolstered by Public/Private Partnerships, Neighborhood School Experiences Renaissance"? Or "Real Estate Values Climb as Families Clamor for Spots at Local Elementary School"? Or "Business District Capitalizes on Increased Foot Traffic Near Community School"? The Friends of J.S. Jenks, a newly created not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting Chestnut Hill's public elementary school, believes that these could be our headlines.
The Friends of J.S. Jenks is an independent fundraising organization consisting of parents, teachers, administrators and community members dedicated to supporting the John Story Jenks Elementary School. Our mission is to enhance the educational and enrichment opportunities for students at J.S. Jenks and ensure long-range financial flexibility for the school so it can develop its programs and infrastructure. We seek to forge new partnerships between the school and the cultural, business, and academic institutions of Chestnut Hill and the greater Northwest Philadelphia.
The Friends of J.S. Jenks believes that our mission is one that can be embraced by a wide swath of our community, even by those who may not have any personal connection to the school. We all benefit by having a high quality public school in our community to attract young families and businesses, and add to the vitality of our neighborhood.
We are inviting you, our friends and neighbors, to support the Friends of J.S. Jenks by attending our inaugural event, a fundraiser to benefit the school's music and arts program, on Saturday, June 9, from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. at The Church of S t. Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martin's Lane, in Chestnut Hill.
Enjoy hors d'oeuvres and refreshments amidst live music from area musicians; including a performance by J.S. Jenks music students. A silent auction of goods and services from an array of local businesses, as well as raffle prizes, will be available throughout the event.
All proceeds will help support the music and arts programs at J.S. Jenks School, and all donations will be tax deductible. For more information about the event or how you can get involved, please visit www.friendsofjsjenks.org, or www.facebook.com/friendsofjsjenks or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is a critical time for Philadelphia's public schools. The Friends of J.S. Jenks knows it cannot solve all the challenges facing our school and the school district. However, we believe that our community wants to do more than collective sighing and handwringing. When empowered with opportunity, we believe our community can and will come together to support this gem of a school and its students.

In the wake of the wreck that claimed the life of Cowboys practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown, his family said they didn't want to see Josh Brent prosecuted.
The Dallas County district attorney's office does not share that sentiment.
Brent was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday for felony intoxication manslaughter, according to USA Today.
The case will next head to criminal court, but no hearing or trial date has been set, according to a spokeswoman for the Dallas County DA's office. Brent is free on $100,000 bond.
Brent was arrested on Dec. 8 after flipping his car in a one-vehicle accident. Police said his blood-alcohol level was .189, more than twice the legal limit. He suffered minor injuries, but Brown (his college teammate at Illinois) was pronounced dead at the hospital. Brown's family said neither player was wearing a seat belt.

"The sun sets on Chapter One of Mosquito Fleet Chili," Rita Tomayko wrote this week on the Facebook page for her Front Street eatery.
The family opened the Coupeville business four years ago, and recently sold the beloved chili place to Janjira Rattanasint and Aroon Saivaree, who own The Cove Thai Cuisine just up the hill on North Main Street. Rita and her husband Chris are headed to a new home near family in Florida.
On Monday, her last day at the restaurant, Rita looked out the windows across scenic Penn Cove and admitted it's a view she will certainly miss.
The photo below her Facebook farewell captures that beauty.
It shows the restaurant's wooden deck that overlooks the Coupeville Wharf and a cloudy sky, lit with orange fire as the sun descends on another day.
Inside the rustic building with old wood floors and a warming fire, Rita and Chris and their three children built a business – and a life – that will be hard to say goodbye to, she said.
Even though it's hard to leave behind the business they worked so hard to build into a success, Tomayko said she knows they are leaving it in good hands.
"Someone I love is taking care of my baby," Tomayko said as she smiled at the new owners. "This is your baby now."
Rattanasint and Saivaree had opened The Cove around the same time that Mosquito Fleet opened its doors, and the restaurant owners became fast friends.
They never reeled in a fish during their early-morning fishing attempts from the nearby wharf, but they still had fun trying, Rattanasint said.
Although the now former owners had received interest from several parties, when Rattanasint expressed interest in acquiring the business, Tomayko said she felt it was a perfect fit.
"They are such good people," she said, adding that she loves the food at the Thai restaurant.
And it also didn't hurt that Rattanasint and Saivaree are also fans of the food served at Mosquito Fleet.
The new owners already have printed new menus that include the same items that made the Mosquito Fleet a popular lunch venue.
The tuna salad now has a disclaimer posted next to it on the menu announcing that it is Saivaree's favorite.
"I love their food," he said, adding that they plan to use the Tomaykos' recipes to keep things consistent.
To help ensure a smooth transition, the Tomaykos made sure that the new staff knows how to prepare the food – including those yummy cinnamon rolls – the same way their customers expect and like.
Morgan Murphy, a 2012 graduate from Oak Harbor High School and award-winning member of the high school's culinary team, has been on the job at Mosquito Fleet for two months. The past three weeks, Murphy has completely taken over the baking.
Tomayko said Murphy has been doing a great job, and the thick, gooey chocolate cookies taste great, according to the reporter who had a chance to sample one.
"I love it," Murphy said. "It is my first job, but it is already my favorite. I can't imagine ever wanting to have a better job."
The new owners have added a few things to the menu from their own culture, including Thai iced tea and special dishes that incorporate fresh steamed vegetables and rice.
With Mosquito Fleet being a lunchtime establishment, and The Cove mostly attracting evening diners, the new owners say they're confident they'll be able to balance their time between both businesses with the help of their staff.
Once they arrive in Florida, Rita said she and Chris hope to start a new restaurant. The couple has lots of ideas simmering.
But on Monday, Coupeville's damp, chilly weather made Florida seem a very long way away. On her way out the door, Tomayko had more hugs to give and receive before she walked up the stairs for the last time and jumped in her family's van bound for new adventures.
"We worked really hard," Tomayko said. "But we never could have done it without the love and support of the community."

I think your recommendation didn't so much get ignored as lost along the way. Do remember you're only one voice among several in this thread and second, you posted so many different price points it was never entirely clear what you recommending. Should have stuck to a single 1080P recommendation IMO.
When recommending to newbies simple is generally better - there's a limit to how many variables the human mind can effectively track at once (which include everyone's recommendations, not just yours) and that's even worse with newbies who don't know what information they can just discard as irrelevant.

What is TDP:
Intel TDP - If you put the CPU at true 100% load (power virus), it can go over TDP at stock clock no turbo. In addition, Intel's turbo doesn't really respect TDP that well either since its more heat based than power consumption based, though Turbo on desktop doesn't tend to put the chip over TDP as much as laptop turbo. Ivy Bridge introduces a configurable maximum power draw I believe.
AMD TDP - For CPU's its the most the CPU will ever draw at stock settings worst case scenario (at least for servers, not sure about desktop/mobile). Turbo is power consumption capped I believe. For server CPU's and graphics cards, the maximum power draw is configurable. It would be nice if configurable TDP came to mobile/desktop, but it sadly doesn't seem like thats happening any time soon.
nV TDP - It's what the chip draws in what nV thinks is an average usage scenario. It's pretty far from the maximum it can draw doing a real world activity and even further away from what it can actually draw when you specifically try to make it consume more power.
tl;dr. Other than for AMD, TDP is an average real world 100% load power draw, not a worst case scenario power draw.
I wouldn't recommend going for the lower power PSU suggested by Kitame. Anyways, a good PSU means one component you won't have to buy again if you want to upgrade.

And @ Kitame: No sorry, I didn't skip your post, but I wasn't sure what it was about those components you were recommending. I'm not to the point where I can understand the pros and cons of components just by reading their description, as they tend to be "talked up" in marketing-speak on their respective websites.
And I definitely understand the adage that in computer construction, might DOES NOT make right. I shudder to think what would happen if I tried to force something. I can just see my motherboard snapping in half in my mind. Not a pretty picture. I know it's an exaggeration, but nothing would be worse than breaking something sensitive (and expensive).

How long do you guys think Spectacular_Insanity's rig can keep effectively playing the newest games? Effective as in playing it at least on normal/medium settings.
I have a 2 years old rig that still use HD5700 series and still haven't encountered major problem in playing games, yet anyway.

Once we have the idea of what the new consoles are capable of and when they will be released, you can set the PC-playable line somewhat above that and consider your question answered -- somewhat above because game developers will always optimize better for the static console hardware.
Going by past trends, and by the static condition of the current gen console market, he'll be able to play games at complete leisure for at least 2 years easily, and medium or higher settings for most games for at least 3-4 years at a conservative estimate except for the power-munchers that seem to be built for benchmarks and shinies than for actual gaming entertainment.
And why am I talking about the consoles? Because of the cross-platform nature of most "AAA" game titles. They need to be at least playable on a current gen console -- albeit, that baseline is increasingly stressed these days. Bungie pushed the limits of the Xbox 360 for Halo Reach, and I laugh at any idiot who bought Skyrim for PS3 given that the playability there is basically "technical" in comparison to a half-decent ~$600 PC one could throw together. Spectacular_Insanity with his new PC will, of course, have a spectacular time (...I'm sorry ) if he ever wants to play Skyrim at whatever insane settings he desires, preferably with a wtflolwut high-resolution texture pack so he can get his, IMO rather luxuriously expensive, GPU to do some work.

Well, it's all done. I finished it two days ago. Took me about 6.5 hours total, but I think I got all the wires cables connected right. I'll post pictures of the guts of my beastie soon.
One last question for all of you concerning my OS. I'm installing Windows 7 Home Premium, but which one do I install, 64-bit or 32-bit? I know for certain I'll need 64-bit, but can I skip 32-bit installation, or will I need to install both to run older programs?
Edit: Wait, I lied about the last question being my last. Do I go ahead and install all the drivers that came with my components, or do I wait and install them from online sources? If I do install them, do I install them before or after I install the OS? None of my manuals say anything on the matter. >_<

Awesome. Thanks guys. I'm actually making this post from my new computer.
Everything is working great (and I got my Webroot installed too) but I do have one problem: My secondary harddrive isn't showing up on my Computer, but it does show up on Device Manager. I just can't figure out how to get it to, well... store stuff. Am I missing something? I hooked it up to the SATA_1 wire slot (my SSD is on my SATA_0 slot and is my OS drive) and the power connector is secure, so what gives? The drivers are updated and everything. >_<

it might not have a partition. to see if you need to make a partition, go and follow this guide. it's really simple. if you find a "Not Intialized" under Disk Management, then we know what the problem is.

Ah, that was it. It wasn't formatted. I didn't know because I've always used externals.
I feel stupid now. After I knew the answer it took about 15 seconds to do.
Thanks a ton once again guys. I appreciate your saving me from my own ignorance.

Congratulations on completing your first system build! It's not terribly complicated, but it's a very daunting task when you're looking at doing it for the first time. Good on you for challenging yourself and going through with it! I'm sure that you've learned a lot from the process, too.
Enjoy your new system!

As he stepped off the plane into the frigid Calgary air to meet Stu Hart, John Wisniski Jr. had already vowed to himself that he would be a pro wrestler.
And Wisniski, the son of Johnny Valentine, didn't want to be just any wrestler. He wanted to be a good one.
"I had the yearning to be like my dad," said Wisniski, who became Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. A star. A legend. A Hall of Famer.
Nearly 40 years later, Valentine is still stepping into the ring. He says he feels young. He says he still has something to give.
The fans aren't complaining. They get a chance to see The Hammer, the guy who feuded with some of wrestling's biggest stars ... Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Wahoo McDaniel, Ric Flair, Tito Santana, Junkyard Dog, Ricky Steamboat and Pedro Morales to name a few.
Valentine will be in the Ottawa-area twice this month: June 23 at the Brockville Youth Arena (7:30 p.m.) and June 24 at Smiths Falls Memorial Arena (7:30). Both shows are presented by Great North Wrestling (check out greatnorthwrestling.com for more show details).
While Valentine was once hated and spit on, fans welcome him with open arms these days.
"I haven't changed my look. I still have all of my hair ... and it's still blond," says Valentine. "Everybody is my friend now. Back in the day, sometimes I had to fight to get to my rental car. There were some tough times ... like after I broke Tito Santana's leg or Ric Flair's nose ... a lot of that stuff was real. Sometimes they love to hate you so much, they start to love you.
"I don't feel 60. I forget that I am that old. I'm fighting the age thing.
"God, I still love (wrestling). That thrill is still there. Some guys have come along that are bigger and stronger. But I've stayed in this business for 39 years."
It was a struggle at times for Valentine in Calgary. The pay wasn't much and there was so much to do to get better.
"Stu picked me up at the airport. I had a pretty good set of arms, but I didn't know how to wrestle. Stu knew my dad (Johnny Valentine). He would stretch me out a bit, but he didn't put me through as hard as somebody he didn't know. Maybe I was the teacher's pet.
"I made $50 a week back in 1970, maybe that got up to $150 a week. I lived in a hotel and had to eat, so there was never enough money left."
His first match was against Angelo Mosca. The kid lost in five minutes to the veteran.
"I was nervous. I knew how tough he was and if he wanted to, he could have flattened me in 30 seconds," said Valentine.
Valentine moved to Detroit, to learn under The Sheik.
He was teamed with Don Fargo -- as The Fargo Brothers. It was from the older, experienced Fargo that Valentine started learning so much of the psychology that goes with wrestling.
Valentine made a name for himself, including a 1983 dog-collar match against Rowdy Roddy Piper at Starrcade, a closed-circuit TV event that would set the stage for the Wrestlemania phenomenon.
He would make it big in the WWF, but eventually decided to part ways with the company.
When I left WWF (in 1992), it was because I had always been a serious wrestler and (Vince McMahon) was going through the stages of building an edgy promotion.
"The tables, ladders and chairs thing. I don't do that kind of thing."
Valentine was brought back into the fold in 2004 when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
There was plenty of blood and sweat and a few tears over the years as Valentine worked hard to get to the top.
"In my own mind, I thought I had talent," said Valentine. "My dad always told me I was a natural. I still had to push myself. And then after you get to the top, it's a tough fight to stay there."
A job well done, even if it is in front of smaller crowds these days.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Chrysler Group LLC's Jeep brand sold more than 700,000 vehicles worldwide for the first time in 2012, an increase of 19 percent from the previous year, Chrysler said on Wednesday.
Mike Manley, head of the Jeep brand, said he expects 2013 sales to continue to climb as upgraded versions of Jeep's biggest seller Grand Cherokee, as well as a new midsize Jeep SUV, are introduced.
Jeep's 2012 sales of 701,626 topped the previous global high sales mark of 675,494 set in 1999.
Among Chrysler's four main brands, Jeep is the one that has the most global reach.
The Grand Cherokee full-sized SUV, the compact SUV Compass, and the Wrangler, are the three nameplates of Jeep that are most aggressively marketed outside Jeep's North American base.
Sales of the Grand Cherokee rose 26 percent at 223,196 worldwide. Compass sales rose 20 percent at 103,321, and Wrangler sales rose 16 percent at 194,142.
Sales in Asia in 2012 rose 94 percent, were up 29 percent in Europe and up 18 percent in Latin America. Jeep's sales were up 13 percent in the United States at 474,131.
The new midsize Jeep SUV will replace the Jeep Liberty in the brand's lineup.
In the United States, Chrysler's top-selling brand last year was Dodge, which sold 825,917 vehicles, up 16.5 percent.
Chrysler Group is majority-owned by Italy's Fiat SpA FIA.MI.

This story has been updated.
U.S. Reps. Nita Lowey and Sean Patrick Maloney joined Sen. Charles Schumer on Tuesday in expressing concern about the latest freight train derailment that injured two CSX crew members as the southbound train passed through Newburgh en route to Rockland County, and ultimately Georgia.
According to multiple news reports, the train struck a boom whip that crossed the tracks. Three locomotives and 14 railcars derailed, spilling fuel and "a small amount" of sulfuric acid in the City of Newburgh. The train also was carrying sodium hydroxide, cardboard, corn oil and glass products when it derailed, according to a CSX spokesman.
Maloney, D-Cold Spring, said, "I am getting sick and tired of issuing statements about dangerous train derailments – this time only blocks from my office in Newburgh. I'm glad to hear reports that no one was killed but even one injury is too many. It's got to stop."
A spokeswoman for Schumer, a New York Democrat, issued this statement: "Our office is in close contact with FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) and local officials," said Jason Kaplan.
"Our thoughts are with those who were impacted by this derailment, and with the first responders currently on scene. Senator Schumer will work closely with FRA and other federal safety organizations to quickly get to the bottom of what caused this dangerous accident," Kaplan said.
Congresswoman Lowey, D-Harrison, said: "Yet again the quick and decisive action of our first responders demonstrated that these brave women and men are so critical to protecting our communities. Thankfully there were no injuries, but this derailment is part of a disturbing pattern of accidents involving freight trains carrying hazardous materials through densely populated areas. We must build on the progress we have made to improve rail safety and decrease risks to our communities."
Maloney added, "While we don't yet know why the train derailed we do know that outdated train cars barreling down the Hudson River carrying hazardous materials are literally a train wreck waiting to happen."
"We have to get smarter about how we transport crude oil, and invest in installing positive train control (PTC) on all our trains – the longer we fail to prioritize investing in rail safety infrastructure and technology, the more innocent lives we put in jeopardy," Maloney said.
In Mississippi, meanwhile, four people were killed earlier Tuesday when a freight train slammed into a tourist bus headed to a Biloxi, Miss., casino at a railroad crossing.

The Great De-Plumping Project! Week 3!
Hello, and welcome to my third week weigh-in on Medifast. Wherein I share a valuable life-lesson with you and I'm not even kidding.
You know. The more I make/watch these videos, the more I'm shocked I'm doing them. And also how bug-eyed I seem. I'm not saying that to be mean about myself, I'm just saying that I never SEEM bug-eyed in the mirror and then the camera comes on and...I don't know. Chins I get. My face looking rounder I get. But bigger eyes? Is this something having to do with lenses and physics?
Anyway, to prep you for this week's adventure-on-camera, please note the following:
- I dispense advice? Sort of? I don't know, I'm not what you would consider a "helpy" kind of person so feel free to ignore me. I just happened to learn a valuable lesson this week. So I shared.
- Some weird dubbing things happened. At least, I think it's called dubbing. I don't really understand how to make iMovie work -- I HATE IT. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. For some reason, my sound and picture get "off" somewhere halfway through and it seems like I've dubbed my video incorrectly. Which is just stupid. If I knew how to dub my movies I'd give myself a wicked cool accent and/or a Japanese voice track that I'd just publish captions over. DUH.
- I'm getting my roots done on Thursday.
Yes, Medifast is sponsoring me, but I'm certain they didn't expect a frizzy-haired lunatic with bad roots to start posting videos on YouTube talking about her issues, so kind of the disclaimer goes both ways.

Culture Hair Studio, a multicultural hair salon nestled in the heart of Mt. Airy, was named in the January 2013 edition of Salon Today magazine, the trade journal for spas and salons, as one of the 200 best salons in the country.
Salons were honored by the magazine in 11 different best-business categories, including advanced education, compensation and benefits, customer service, environmental sustainability, philanthropy, planned profitability, recruitment and training, retail and merchandising, retention and referral programs, technology and growth.
Culture Hair Studio was honored for the category growth.
"The salons named to the Salon Today 200 for 2013 not only proved they excel in one or more of these areas, they also have created rewarding environments for their staff members and standout experiences for their clients," said Stacey Soble, editor-in-chief of Salon Today, in a statement. "Their willingness to share their success offers our readers important business benchmarks and inspirational sales-building ideas."
Rachel Flynn, of Abington, co-owner of the salon at 7201 Germantown Ave., said she and her business partner, Annie Alaimo, of Ambler, were elated to be selected as a winner.
"It is such a great accomplishment for our team to be honored in our industry," Flynn said.
Flynn said she began her business in February 2005 "on a wing and a prayer."
"Recently divorced, and the mother of two small boys, I set my hopes high and took a leap of faith," Flynn said.
She said that when they first opened the salon, they had a part-time receptionist and two stylists, including herself. Since then they have moved to a bigger location and have expanded the staff to nine stylists, two associate stylists, one assistant and a full-time front-desk coordinator.
In 2008, Flynn hired a salon consultant to help the business survive the recession.
"I know I had to ask for guidance from someone who had the expertise to help our salon not only stay above water during this time but to continue to grow," Flynn said. "It turned out to be one of the best decisions I would make as a salon owner. Her knowledge, training and experience has proven to help me grow Culture through the toughest of economic times."
She said the studio's revenue has grown 117 percent since opening in 2005. In January 2009, the salon developed a universal system for every aspect of its business.
"The systems are based on the principle that in order to be successful in our careers, we must be conscious during the entire guest experience from start to finish," Flynn said. "We have a plan to educate and offer to everyone who sits in our chair."
She said Mt. Airy has always been a neighborhood "rich in artistic and cultural diversity."
"Our multicultural theme was embraced by this welcoming community with open arms," Flynn said.
"It has proven to be the perfect setting for us to break through the exhausted concept that women and men of different ethnicities must go to hair salons that specialize in their particular hair type. Our stylists are trained to do all hair, regardless of texture, density or color. In examination of our philosophy, I believe we have successfully bridged this gap."
She said that thanks to the continued support of residents of Mt. Airy and surrounding neighbors, "Culture Hair Studio has not only grown during this recession but actually thrived."
The owners and staff at Culture Hair Studio credit their continued success to building strong relationships with clients and businesses in the area. In January, Alaimo, became Flynn's business partner.
"Something that makes us really excited is making our guests feel like they are part of our family," said Alaimo, who has been doing hair for more than nine years. "We understand that people have busy lives and need an outlet to relax and be pampered. We love being able to provide our guests with a service where they leave looking and feeling more beautiful than when they arrived."
