AEG Live's chief executive testified Tuesday that he thought the wrongful death suit brought against the company by Michael Jackson's mother and children was an extortion attempt.
While he never uttered the word, Randy Phillips said he agreed when a Jackson family attorney asked if that was how he felt.
Phillips' acknowledged his feelings during his first few minutes on the stand, which came at the end of court Tuesday, giving a preview of what promises to be hours of contentious testimony.
FULL COVERAGE: AEG wrongful death trial
"You believe this case is an extortion?" Jackson attorney Brian Panish asked.
"Yes," he answered.
As he continued under his questioning, Phillips at one point said, "I wish you wouldn't keep calling it a baseless shakedown."

His short time on the stand, though, was not without humor. At one point, Panish handed Phillips an article from Forbes magazine, saying, "Your picture looks good."
Phillips: "That's the nicest thing you've said to me today."
Panish: "Just give me a chance."
But in another instance, when Phillips appeared to crack a smile, Panish asked, "You think this is funny, sir?"
"No," he replied. "I think it's tragic."
Several emails Phillips wrote at the time of the pop singer's planned comeback tour are central to the Jacksons' case in which they contend AEG negligently hired and supervised Dr. Conrad Murray, who is serving jail time for administering a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol to the singer.
AEG, though, says Jackson hired Murray and that any money the entertainment company was supposed to pay the doctor was part of an advance to the singer.
After receiving an email from Kenny Ortega, the director of the planned "This Is It" concert series in London, saying Jackson needed psychiatric help, Phillips wrote back, "I had a lengthy conversation with Dr. Murray, who I am gaining immense respect for as I get to deal with him more.
"He said that Michael is not only physically equipped to perform and, that discouraging him to, will hasten his decline. ... This doctor is extremely successful (we check everyone out) and does not need this gig so he [is] totally unbiased and ethical," Philips wrote.
Phillips on Tuesday said he described Murray as successful "because that's what I was told."
Murray, who closed his practice to minister to Jackson for $150,000 a month, was actually deep in debt and facing foreclosure on his home.
Phillips testified he wrote that Murray had been checked out because "I thought at time he had been. I still think he had been to an extent."
The Jackson family attorneys are sure to return to the email as testimony continues.
Phillips also testified that AEG tried to set up a Jackson tour in 2007, but the pop star's representatives said he wasn't ready to go on the road.
The company got involved the next year after the investment firm Colony Capital bought the note on the singer's Neverland Ranch.
Phillips said that Philip Anschutz, the owner of parent company AEG, knew Tom Barrack, Colony Capital's chairman. Anschutz told Phillips to set up a meeting, which took place in Colony Capital's Century City offices in June 2008, leading Phillips to write a strategic plan.
"I caution you that MJ is not fast and a total perfectionist (needs to be controlled as much as possible)…I believe he can net, at least $1 M per night after all costs including professional fees and, possibly, more," Phillips wrote in an email to a Colony Capital partner.

No. 89,442
K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 21-3701(b)(3) is construed and applied.
Appeal from Saline District Court; DAN D. BOYER, judge. Opinion filed August 15, 2003. Affirmed.
Cory D. Riddle, assistant appellate defender, for the appellant.
Ellen H. Mitchell, county attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for the appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., ELLIOTT and LEWIS, JJ.
LEWIS, J.: Defendant Joshua A. Barnes was convicted of theft in violation of K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 21-3701(b)(3) after a bench trial on stipulated facts. Although defendant fell into a presumptive prison box for sentencing purposes, he was granted a dispositional departure and sentenced to 12 months' probation. He now appeals his conviction.
The facts which led to defendant's arrest and conviction are somewhat peculiar. It develops that defendant was employed at a Dillon's grocery store, and at least part of his duties was to accept coupons for turkeys from customers. He would scan the turkey in a way that did not charge the customer, but he would not scan the coupon at that time. He would later scan the coupons, which created an overage in his register. He would promptly take the money from the register in the amount of the overage. He did this 21 times, for a total loss of $204.
Defendant appeals his conviction, arguing the trial court erred in its interpretation of the statute.
When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged in a criminal case, the standard of review is whether, after review of all the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the appellate court is convinced a rational factfinder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Mason, 268 Kan. 37, 39, 986 P.2d 387 (1999).
The statute under which defendant was convicted, K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3701(b)(3), states:
"Theft of property regardless of the value from three separate mercantile establishments within a period of 72 hours as part of the same act or transaction or in two or more acts or transactions connected together or constituting parts of a common scheme or course of conduct is a severity level 9, nonperson felony." (Emphasis added.)
Defendant argues the statute requires that the thefts take place in three separate retail establishments. Since he only worked in one retail establishment and stole all the money from that establishment, he insists he does not fall within the parameters of the statute. The State argues that the word "or," which we have emphasized in the statute quote above, separates the requirement of the number of mercantile establishments from the concept of a continuing crime or continuing theft. The trial court accepted the State's position that three separate establishments was not an element when the thefts were part of two or more acts or transactions connected together or constituting parts of a common scheme or course of conduct.
The outcome of this appeal depends upon our interpretation of the statute, which is a question of law, and our review is unlimited. See State v. Engles, 270 Kan. 530, 532-33, 17 P.3d 355 (2001).
Another rule applicable in a case of this nature is that a criminal statute must be strictly construed in favor of the accused. If there is any reasonable doubt, the meaning must be decided in favor of the accused. This rule of strict construction, however, is subordinate to the rule that judicial interpretation must be reasonable and sensible to effect legislative design and intent. See State v. McGill, 271 Kan. 150, 154, 22 P.3d 597 (2001); State v. Vega-Fuentes, 264 Kan. 10, 14, 955 P.2d 1235 (1998).
The statute in question was only recently enacted. It is the State's argument that the intent was to enhance the penalty for multiple acts of theft when the value of the stolen goods does not exceed $500.
The meaning of the statute is somewhat vague and difficult to ascertain. It appears to us, however, that what the legislation created was two ways by which one can commit felony theft. One is by a theft in three separate mercantile establishments in a 72-hour period. The second form of theft is theft in two or more acts or transactions connected together or constituting parts of a common scheme or course of conduct.
Defendant obviously did not steal property from three separate mercantile establishments. He methodically stole from Dillon's, his employer, at least 21 times for a total of $204. Defendant was guilty of a level 9 nonperson felony by committing 21 acts of theft under circumstances which clearly were part of a common scheme or course of conduct, the second form of theft under K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 21-3701(b)(3).

Seahawks take LSU RB Spencer Ware in sixth round
April 27, 2013
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks took their second running back of the draft by selecting Spencer Ware from LSU in the sixth round Saturday.
The Seahawks spent their second-round selection on Texas A&M running back Christine Michael and now have added another back in much the same mold. Like Michael, Ware is 5-foot-10 and close to 230 pounds. Ware is also Seattle's second draft pick from LSU.
Ware elected to declare for the draft after his junior season. He started four games for the Tigers in 2012 and ran for 367 yards on 94 carries. He also caught 18 passes for 230 yards with one rushing and one receiving touchdown apiece.
Ware also played some fullback with LSU as a freshman and could be asked to block in Seattle.

Zero Punctuation: Painkiller
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Thanks! I bought Painkiller based on this review. Great game.
Aside: While I think the _idea_ of a shuriken and lightning gun is cool, I didn't use it much. The lightning worked well but the shuriken flew too slowly and did too little damage.
I'm so getting this game! But I wonder, are the expansions worth it? Cause there's either the game alone, Black Edition with the first expansion, or the Universe version with both expansions.
Where can I get the patches for this game?
you need to put in your date of birth, by the way its an 18 game so I recomend putting 1953 has the year you was born, click the left hand link out of the three painkillers, click downloads and then click updates, the patches will then be present! :D
i watched this then played the demo, it is the most awesome shooter!! im gonna go buy it tomorrow or monday!!! and theres also an editor for in on the games website!!!
XD wow yahtzee... just wow ^^
I got the game with the same expectations but was pleasantly surprised ^^
by the by awesome show. you are my fix that gets me through my week.
This is just the kind of game that the Wii needs. A perfectly mindless shooter that lets you blow off some steam. No story needed. Heck, they could just make it for WiiWare. Then again, it's probably too violent for Nintendo's taste.
In all liklihood they would replace the shuriken/lightning gun with a plunger cannon. Then again... that might be kind of fun too...
I really loved this game.
There are rumours of a sequel in the works.
I bought the complete package just because of this review. It was also my first review I ever heard from Yahtzee. Oh, how I howled in laughter on the first time.
Even now, it still seems funny. The hilarity has waned over the ~10 times I've seen it, but I can't deny its aspects of funny. I thank the probably non-existant God for Yahtzee.
A gun that shoots shurikens and lighting is pretty bad ass indeed.
LOL, another good video! im gonna go any look at buying this this arvo for a full weekend of mindless killing! YAY!!!
Worshipping this review
Painkiller is only 10 bucks on Steam :O, time to murder tons of dudes!
I remember this game.
The game is simple and fun, without any elements that break the flow.
He forgot to mention the soundtrack, which fits every level perfectly.
I'm surprised he didn't use the song "PAINKILLER" by Judas Priest.
He did admit "No More Heroes" was too obvious in the No More Heroes review, though.
i acctualy bought this game cause of yahtzee and it was DAAAAMMNNN fun
Congrats, Yahtzee, on you influencing a gun skin in Bulletstorm! Woot!
influencing a gun skin,
And, true enough, only two years later People Can Fly DID create a gun that had t!ts and was on fire....as artwork on the gun, but still.
I just found this amusing fully animated version of hte Painkiller review on Youtube. I thought it was entertaining and well done. Just gonna leave it here in case anyone wishes to see it.
Speaking of Serious Sam as an antidote to realistic FPS parasites, it's 75% off on Steam this weekend.
wow, i haven't heard detachable penis since elementary school!
I apologize of this has been asked before (and for replying to a thread several years old) but which version of Painkiller is Yahtzee reviewing? I tried to get this on Steam... and there is Painkiller - Redemption, Black Edition, Overdose, Resurrection. No version withought a added name... help me out please? :)
i know i'm a little late in replying to this, but if you take the fact that he basicly said this game was the sh*t, i honestly have to say that monster tale (new game) is like this game in the sense that nobodies ever heard of it but the game is f*cking awsome. If i was allowed to, i would rant on for hours about this Monster Tale game, but i'm not, so i won't, but if your really interested just ask me
At ANY rate, great job Yahtzee (i think i spelled that right)
Incredible game
You know... Yatzee made me actually go and play Painkiller... And it kinda sucked.
The rhytm of the weapons is really weird, and the damage of everything but the namesake weapon itself is really lacking. Played through it until the suriken+lightning gun (that REALLY ANNOYING ICE LEVEL) and threw it away.
I guess my heart will forever be with Serious Sam, UT99 and Q2.
A very long time ago, I read a Dave Barry column where after hearing one song he sort of liked on a radio station his son had set as a favorite, the announcer said "I'm sorry folks, that was mainstream" and put on a song called "detachable penis." I didn't entirely believe him until now.

Peavy solid against former team as Red Sox winSportsDirect Inc.
September 01. 2013 1:10AM
BOSTON -- Jake Peavy pitched seven strong innings in his first start against his former team as Boston took its second straight from visiting Chicago, 7-2, on Saturday night.
Peavy (11-5), who was traded from the White Sox to the Red Sox in a three-team deal on July 30, allowed two runs on five hits to improve to 3-1 with his new team. Jacoby Ellsbury doubled in a run among three hits and scored twice as Boston won for the sixth time in seven games and moved four games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East.
Avisail Garcia and Alejandro De Aza each drove in a run for the White Sox, who had won 10 of 12 before running into the Red Sox. John Danks (4-11) suffered the brunt of the damage, allowing six runs (five earned) on 11 hits in five innings.
Mike Napoli plated Ellsbury with a single in the first and scored on Jonny Gomes' RBI double in the third to give Boston a quick edge. The White Sox tied it in the fourth but the Red Sox went up for good in the bottom of the frame with a three-run outburst.
Ellsbury delivered an RBI ground-rule double to right, Dustin Pedroia pushed in a run with a groundout and David Ortiz capped the rally with an RBI single to left. Rookie Xander Bogaerts singled in a run in the fifth as Boston pulled away.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Red Sox acquired veteran INF John McDonald and cash considerations from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Class A RHP Nefi Ogando. ... Boston pitchers have allowed three or fewer runs in each of the last 11 games. ... Garcia, who came to the White Sox as part of the three-team Peavy deal, is 10-for-21 with six RBIs in the last five games.

Fellows building bridges, serving India's needs
Fellowship Q&A to be held March 6 in the Mandel Center for the Humanities
In January, four Brandeis students began their journey to India as Brandeis-India initiative fellows. Following in the footsteps of President Lawrence's recent trip to Delhi and Mumbai, these fellows are serving as student ambassadors for the Brandeis-India Initiative, an ongoing effort to build the university's strategic ties to India through strengthening relationships with parents, alumni, educational institutions and organizations. Since 2011, 15 fellows have traveled to India. Currently, Hannah Diamond '14 and Jeremy Goodman '14 are participating in the SIT India study abroad program in Delhi on "Health & Human Rights," Ellie Kaufman '14 is in Delhi on the IES Semester Abroad and Marlee Rosenthal '14 is participating in the The Alliance for Global Education's program "Contemporary India: Development, Environment, and Public Health" in Pune.
The Fellows Program, which is supported by Indian parents and friends of the university, matches Brandeis students' passion for social justice with the interests and needs of Indian sponsors and partners. For example, the projects completed by four fellows -- Aneil Tripathy '12, Dina Kapengut '14, Tanvi Bahuguna '14, and Xiaoyu Liu '14 -- earlier this academic year cover a broad range of topics, including prenatal healthcare, sanitation, youth education in poor and underserved communities, and Tibetan refugee experiences. Brandeis is also steadily working to build its collaborations with Indian institutions in scientific research. One 2012-2013 fellow, Tanvi Bahuguna '14, also used her fellowship time to work at the TATA Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) on cell behavior research.
"I learned a lot during my time at TIFR, and in turn I did manage to build some curiosity about Brandeis and the research that goes on here…" Bahugana says. "It felt great learning about the way college students learned in India, and there were many days spent just talking about the difference in our educations. I enjoyed learning from the other students and I hope that they felt the same when I helped them carry out the experiments in the laboratory."
After fellows return from their time abroad, they continue to serve as a bridge between Brandeis and India by sharing their projects with the Brandeis community, teaching other students about their experiences, and maintaining ties with friends, families, organizations, and programs across India. The goal of the fellowship is best echoed in a recent post by a current fellow: "At this time I end most of my observations, conversations, and discourse with 'it is just different.' I hope that with more time spent here I will get a better grasp of India and be able to make some accurate interpretations, search for explanations, and reach some understanding." Such understanding is crucial for the strengthening of Brandeis's ties with Indian alumni, partners, and organizations.
The Brandeis-India Fellowships are open to any undergraduate or graduate student interested in traveling to India for internships, study abroad programs, research projects, or volunteer programs. A new round of applications are being accepted now for projects that will take place this summer or during the next academic year. Awards may range from $500 to $2,000 and can be used in addition to other university funding, as well as personal and external funding. The application materials, which can be downloaded from the Brandeis-India website, are due no later than 3 p.m. on Friday, March 22.
To learn more, please visit the fellowship FAQ page or attend a Q&A session on the fellowships on Wednesday, March 6, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Reading Room on the third floor of the Mandel Center.

One of the positions will be an endowed chair, the Richard and Elizabeth Henes Chair in Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis in energy systems.
Up to 10 more exceptional faculty will be hired in health sciences and technologies, including biochemistry, bioengineering, bioethics, biomaterials, biomechanics, human factors, medical informatics, cell biology, physiology and statistical genetics. Of particular interest are applicants who use interdisciplinary and multi-scale approaches and new technological tools, said Max Seel, interim provost at Michigan Tech.
"We're looking for people who can help us create the future of next-generation energy systems and health sciences," Seel explained. We are seeking innovators in all facets of energy and health-related research and education, faculty who are prepared to establish vigorous, nationally competitive research programs and are also committed to excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education."
In addition to the Henes Chair in Mechanical Engineering, there may be more endowed positions in the hiring initiatives.
Application review will begin on Nov. 15, 2009 and continue until the positions are filled.
The first Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative at Michigan Tech focused on the theme of sustainability. The second competition added new tenure-track faculty in computational discovery and innovation. After the energy and health initiatives, one is planned focusing on transportation.

Rania Afif, born 1972, grew up in Marjeaoun and took upon herself to start Bayte Baytak, the non profitable organization to help and serve it's people. Her bright vision and hard work upon this organization has allowed her to start social and charity events.
Heaven's Joy Association Heaven's Joy (Bonheur Du Ciel) Association is a spiritual apostolic, charitable and social, non-political and non-profit association, duly registered before the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities and licensed according to memorandum and notification No. 396 dated March 27, 2008. Some of the association's activities include but are not limited to: Drug Addicts Treatment Centers: The outbreak of addictive substances and substances which affect the spirit and which is influencing the category of youth of different ages, has become a major threat endangering the world. What adds to its severity on society is the intensive increase in the invention and production of drugs in a community as small as the Lebanese community. Faced with this dangerous reality that our youth are going through, it is necessary to set up practical plans which coincide with their needs and help them in adopting a drug-free life Joy of Heaven Association aims at helping every person in pain within programs and specialized centers which meet the needs of the community as a whole. Including "Beit Allah Mahabba" Center ("God is love" Home Center) for the homeless, Nour El Sama (Light of Heaven) Club for the disabled and elderly, and centers specialized in the treatment and rehabilitation of drug-addicts. Joy of Heaven Association receives every male and female drug-addict in need of therapy and of being free from dependence to drugs. The adopted therapy at the rehabilitation center is therapy by faith "Christo therapy" because we believe that Jesus Christ is the greatest physician and at the same time we work on guaranteeing a balanced evolution of all intellectual, psychological, physical and social levels for the beneficiaries within the therapeutic community. Love, faith, mercy and justice are the basis of all the available rehabilitation stages and services. The period of rehabilitation that the addict spends aims at helping him overcome the problem of addiction and at reintegrating him in society. There is nothing impossible if the addict discovers the will of God in his heart and becomes determined to live. The therapy section includes two specialized centers: - Qaryat Al Ensan Center for the rehabilitation of young male addicts in Maaysra Area – NahrIbharim – it accommodates around 40 young men. - Qaryat Mariam Center for the rehabilitation of young female addicts in Ghosta Area – Harissa – it accommodates around 22 young women. Therapeutic journey: The start at the reception center: After preparation of the addict at the reception desk and working with him on consolidating the idea of rehabilitation and the importance of starting a new life free of drugs, the person joins the rehabilitation program of Qaryat Al Ensan and Qaryat Mariam and there is an explanation of the importance of the program which helps the addict become free of his addiction and walk towards recovery. The adopted period of treatment extends between 10 to 15 months. Nour El Sama (Light of Heaven) Club: Nour El Sama (Light of Heaven) Club was launched under the patronage of Archbishop George Saliba, Archbishop of Beirut and Mount Lebanon for Syrian Orthodox and Mr. Antoine Gebara, Head of Jdeideh-Sed Municipality on April 22, 2010. It offers diversified services such as psychological treatment, social assistance, teaching writing and reading "literacy", drawing, playing music, expressionist dance, theater, etc…) in addition to a restaurant so everyone could eat our daily food as one family with joy and thanksgiving to the Lord. Majd El Sama (Glory of Heaven) Center for the Disabled: Under the patronage and with the attendance of Archbishop KerlesBustros, the association honored the artist Wadih El Safi on February 14, 2012, for his great contributions for Lebanon. There was the inauguration of the Home of the disabled for the care and rehabilitation of the disabled which provides its services free of charge for the persons in need and those with limited income, under the supervision of medical specialists. "LebnanYaQot'etSama" Taxi (Lebanon Peace of Heaven Taxi) Under the patronage and with the attendance of Patriarch Gregorios III Laham, the association also launched the project of "LebnanYaQot'etSama" Taxi on February 18, 2012, which provides the service of transportation to the disabled with special needs to and from their therapy centers and other locations for meeting their needs which require a means of transportation and of course free of charge. The taxi is under the management of Nour El Sama Club. "Beit Allah Mahabba" for the homeless" It is a center for the reception of the homeless who have no shelter and who have been rendered homeless and beggars on the streets because of tough conditions. The center accommodates eighteen people and provides them with shelter, one meal per day and two meals on Sunday. They can also wash their clothes in addition to other basic homehold needs, in addition to care and spiritual guidance. "Beit Farah El Sama" (Joy of Heaven Home): "Beit Farah El Sama" for music was also inaugurated under the patronage of Mr. Antoine Gebara, Head of Jdeideh Municipality at the old municipality building. It aims at receiving children who wish to learn music, drawing and handicrafts free of charge.
The founder Yvonne Chami In 1975, at the very beginning of the 20 year Lebanese civil war, Yvonne Chami returned to Beirut after spending six years as a nurse in Vietnam working in very difficult conditions. She accepted a position in the pediatric section of a hospital in Beirut and discovered a disturbing reality. Children were faced with disabilities that could have been prevented, their families were without support and were falling apart, and the country with its lack of resources was unable to provide a proper response to this serious situation. The raging crisis of war compounded issues of priority, produced a lack of assistance and offered little hope for disabled children and their families. Yvonne then envisioned and brought to life the dream of: "Supporting disabled children, from birth until death, thus allowing them to lead a life of dignity, which in turn would bear witness and carry the message to others." Yvonne Chami A nurse, midwife and social worker of Lebanese nationality. In 1976, SESOBEL was founded to serve disabled children and their families in Lebanon. In 1992, Anta-Akhi (You are My Brother) was founded to care for the disabled as they age. In 2000, she founded "Handicap et Vie en Eglise" to guarantee the acceptance of the disabled in the life of the church. Recipient of the "Mme Figaro" prize in 1993. Her Motto: "Together, the impossible becomes possible." Common Introduction SESOBEL is a non-governmental organization founded in 1976 by Yvonne Chami, for the welfare of the child with disability and his family. SESOBEL takes all possible steps to implement a coherent and monitored service of assisting children with disability and to accompany their families as partners in facing life's challenges , and works equally hard with all elements of society for them to recognize the value, dignity, and respect for children with disabilities. More than 800 children suffering from intellectual and/or motor disabilities or from autism, are taken care of in terms of medical, social, educational, rehabilitation, and human assistance. Our Mission For over 40 years, SESOBEL has taken all possible steps to implement a coherent and monitored service of assisting children with disability and to accompany their families as partners in facing life's challenges. SESOBEL has worked equally hard with all elements of society for them to recognize the value, dignity, and respect for children with disabilities.

At SESOBEL, every child is unique and an appropriate program that meets their specific needs is designed for them. We use a holistic , interdisciplinary approach, which takes into account the child's needs on every level, be it related to health,society,education,rehabilitation,recreation,relationships,living environment, integration, rights, or any other aspect of their lives. SESOBEL helps children with disability lead a happy and hopeful life despite the difficulties that come with disabilities by ensuring :
The family : In addition, our efforts are carried out with the future in mind so that we can, together with their family, ensure a secure future for the child with disability. SESOBEL provides sufficient family support so the children with disability remain in their family environment. It is essential to :
As a partner, the family is central to SESOBEL's philosophy. From the moment the families arrive at SESOBEL, they are given support in order to strengthen and preserve their unity. The society: SESOBEL works on challenging the society to respect the child with disability and acknowledge its right to a dignified life, regardless of the nature of his disability.
Our Creed
This is why we believe that everyone's life, even the disabled, is worth being lived as a celebration, because Love is enduring and because you are my brother
The "ahlanwasahlan" restaurant was founded in 1983 in Lebanon, following the mass exodus of families from the mountains east of Saida who sought refuge in Christian areas. A group of people of good will, including a group of women from Sin el Fil supervised by Mrs. Antoine Kazan, found it necessary to open a free restaurant in order to accommodate the largest possible number of new people in need. The first restaurant opened its doors in 1983 in Sin el Fil, a suburb east of Beirut, under the "AhlanWaSahlan" name, or "Welcome." It was located in a former school next to three populous districts: Sin el File, Nabaa and BourjHammoud.
The women who devoted themselves to this work were cooking at home, brought meals to the school and ensured the service and the wellness of the guests. This initiative attracted the attention of a number of well-doers who subsequently upgraded the restaurant by transforming the school yard and equipping it with all the necessary material. "AhlanwaSahlan" was by then providing 4 meals per week to 400 or 500 adults, and on Saturdays to some 800 children. The restaurant also offered breakfast to 800 students from two primary schools in Sin el Fil, three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
In 1988, The Ministry of Interior received notice of the constitution of the association 'Les Restaurants Du Coeur" by official note registered on the 18th of August 1988. In 1992, the restaurant relocated to a new location that was co-founded by the friends of the "Restaurants du Coeur' and Issam Fares.
Over time, 16 restaurants had opened their welcoming doors throughout the country.
Today, the Nabaa Restaurant, still called "Ahlanwasahlan", caters to hundreds of children by offering them breakfast on every single day, as well as lunch for the elderly. The restaurant also opened a club where people can have their hair cut, choose from a rack of clothing generously offered by our donators, watch some TV, documentaries, and even get medical guidance and assistance. Supporting these beneficial and long-standing initiatives, "L'amicale des restaurants du Coeur" also financially assists 13 groups of volunteers who in different regions offer cooked food to more needy people.

Integrated Pest Management Program
National parks are special places which have been set aside to protect and preserve the natural and cultural resources of our nation. Life sustaining ecosystems, treasured cultural landscapes, and unique artifacts are ecologically and historically important. Managing these park resources involves the daily challenge of careful pest detection and prevention. Pests are continually present; forest pests such as gypsy moth and mountain pine beetle devastate critical ecosystems which support countless other organisms. The museum beetle, no bigger than a letter in this sentence, could quietly consume Abe Lincoln's woolen coat or feathers from a Native American head dress for the protein meal they provide. Diligent pest detection and management is critical in protecting our national treasures and human health from pests and their damage.
How do we address pests in our national parks? Since 1980, we've used an approach called Integrated Pest Management or IPM.
What is IPM and why do we use it?
IPM is a science-based decision-making process that guides park managers when investigating a pest situation. The IPM approach determines the most appropriate and cost effective management solution for the specific pest situation. IPM includes identification of the pest, understanding the use and significance of a site or the importance of protecting a historic item, and education of the people involved. IPM also establishes pest tolerance levels and monitoring protocols. Then, with the help of technical experts and on a case-by-case basis, we develop an effective, site specific and low risk strategy to manage the pest. This includes altering conditions which attracted pests to the site in the first place. IPM often involves changing human behavior as well.
We use IPM because it works! IPM reduces risks to people, park resources, and the environment from pests and from the strategies used to manage them. We also use the IPM approach because we are directed to do so by the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and NPS policy. We focus on finding solutions to pest problems and determine why the pest is there in the first place, rather than simply treating the damage and symptoms caused by the pest.
What would we consider a pest in a national park?
A 'pest', as defined by NPS policy, is any organism that interferes with the purpose of a park or that threatens human health or safety. A pest can be a native or nonnative organism; it can be a weed, an insect, a fungus, a disease, a fish, a bird, or a mammal; to reach "pest status" depends on the situation. An individual mouse, such as the native deer mouse for example, is a pest when inside the Yosemite Museum. Mice may damage museum items by gnawing on them or using them for nesting material. But outside the museum the same individual deer mouse is part of the natural ecosystem and is not considered a pest.
How is IPM implemented in the NPS? We use an "11 Step Process to Developing and Implementing an Integrated Pest Management Strategy" that you too might find valuable. What is good for national parks can also be good in your home and community. For more information, also see National IPM Center.
What are examples of integrated pest management tools? An example of a mechanical tool is the use of snap traps for indoor mice problems in conjunction with regular structural inspections to determine how mice are entering the structure. Then we exclude the rodents by permanently closing points of entry. Read more about rodent exclusion here. Cultural IPM tools include planting disease resistant wheat to avoid the need for regular pesticide application. We use biological tools, such as Gypchek-a virus specific for gypsy moth-to manage this forest pest without affecting other non-target species, butterflies, and moths. Rather than repeatedly hand pulling deep-rooted perennial weeds and their resprouts, we may use chemical tools such as systemic herbicides that kill the entire plant, even the roots. Whereas, hand pulling annual weeds before they go to seed is an equally effective physical tool.
A great example of IPM is the well-established strategy for controlling purple loosestrife. This nonnative invasive, wetland weed destroys wildlife habitat by taking over all available growing space. Through early detection and rapid response efforts, we manage this pest with our park neighbors and others who share the waterways. Depending on the site and location, we can use herbicides to eliminate outlying patches of purple loosestrife. For dense stands of this weed, we may release a tiny biological control agent, a beetle, who eats and eventually destroys the plants. Removing purple loosestrife from wetlands allows native plants and critical wildlife habitat to return. Find more information on purple loosestrife here.

I wanted to know if there are any Homeric Greek study groups around.
Eh, are there?
I have "A Reading Course in Homeric Greek" and the Pharr PDF, so anybody wanna get friendly? I hoped a few people here would care to start one up if there isn't a group already. I just found out how awesome skype is as a tool. And, how awesome would it be to have regular Homeric Greek parties (wut, I mean study groups) via skype? My schedule is (surprisingly) flexible for folks in different time zones. Get at me.

WEST POINT — Gino DeBartolo walked into his end-of-the-season meeting with Army coach Rich Ellerson knowing he didn't have many highlights from his sophomore season to brag about. He spent last fall as a scout-team quarterback.
WEST POINT — Gino DeBartolo walked into his end-of-the-season meeting with Army coach Rich Ellerson knowing he didn't have many highlights from his sophomore season to brag about. He spent last fall as a scout-team quarterback.
But DeBartolo had a plan. He tossed out the idea of switching to defense this spring. Ellerson liked DeBartolo's suggestion.
Now, instead of reading a defense under center, DeBartolo was zeroing in on quarterbacks and running backs as a middle linebacker at practice on Monday.
"It was definitely something that I wanted to do," said DeBartolo, who was a third-string quarterback his freshman season. "I just want to get on the field in any way I can to help out the team."
While getting Army's defense prepared for its opponents, DeBartolo was also hitting the weights, anticipating a position change. He added 15 pounds to his 6-foot-2 frame and now weighs 215.
Running the scout team "was a disappointment to me, so I was in the weight room as much as possible to try to make gains even during the season to try to come out this spring ready," DeBartolo said.
DeBartolo has become a quick study despite playing on the defensive side for the first time since his freshman season at Bradford High in Kenosha, Wis. He lined up with the first-team defense in Army's opening scrimmage Saturday and made two tackles on one series.
"Gino has done a nice job there for a guy that has never played that position," Ellerson said. "He has gotten better. He's got some work to do."
DeBartolo isn't the only offensive player getting a crack at middle linebacker. Ellerson also moved junior Hayden Tippett, the team's second-string fullback who rushed for 100 yards against Ball State last October, and freshman Marcus Poling, a reserve running back.
Tippett, who is 5-foot-11 and 225 pounds, has shown good instincts getting to the football early in spring practice. He forced a fumble in the scrimmage.
Poling was making strides before suffering an ankle injury during the spring's first week.
"Hayden is a guy that's really valuable at the other position," Ellerson said. "We are going to look real hard on what he did Saturday and what progress he made today and we are going to make a call on where he should finish spring."
Army wasn't forced into holding middle linebacker auditions. Last season's starter, sophomore Geoff Bacon, led the team in tackles (136) and ranked eighth nationally. Ellerson moved Bacon to free safety this spring but said the switch might not be permanent.
Freshman Alex Meier, who is working his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in the Navy game two months ago, and Brandon Fusilier-Jeffires, a first-team freshman all-American at free safety who is sitting out the spring to focus on academics, are other options.
"Meier is a possibility," Ellerson said. "FJ (Fusilier-Jeffires) is a possibility. Geoff is a possibility. The good news is there is a similar skill set (between middle linebacker and free safety). Everybody we are talking about can play a little bit of football."

Dissatisfaction has surfaced in the OpenSolaris community. The dispute centers around how derivatives can use the OpenSolaris name and branding. Sun says that permitting broad downstream use of the OpenSolaris name would risk diluting the Solaris trademark, and it has stated that a policy needs to be established on how the name can and cannot be used. A member of the governance board has resigned. This looks similar to what happened with the Mozilla trademark.

It was 1988 when musician Bobby McFerrin - in his signature a capella style - gave the world some practical, if magical advice: "Don't worry, be happy." But many decades earlier, during the Great Depression, a songwriting team conjured up a similar sentiment, reminding us to let go of our troubles and instead think of life as "just a bowl of cherries."
For kicks, try substituting cherries - Life is just a bowl of ________ - with any other card-carrying member of the fruit world. Life isn'tjust a bowl of bananas, grapes or apricots, no matter how hard we try. What is it about the cherry that urges us not to take the business of life so seriously?
In his fruit-centric book Ripe, British author Nigel Slater notes that cherries "bring with them a certain frivolity, a carefree joy like hearing the far-off laughter of a child at play."
I put Slater's words to the test and grab a handful of cold cherries from a proverbial bowl in the refrigerator. I sit on the couch, knees crouched up to my chest. I lift a cherry by its stem and place it in between my lips, then tug on the stem. With the bowl under my chin to catch any random squirts, I bite down and immediately feel the rush of sweet nectar as well as the pebble-y edges of the pit. Without hesitation, I push the pit to a side pocket of my mouth, savor the sun-kissed cherry flesh, then curl my tongue and hurl the pit, slingshot-style, into the bowl.
Juvenile behavior? The cherry seems to draw it out of even the most mature among us.
Even in the kitchen, the cherry keeps the fun and games going, an affable companion to both savory and sweet ingredients -- almonds, chocolate, chile peppers, ham and stinky cheese are among the many willing playmates.
Better hurry; the clock is ticking on cherry season, which lasts throughout the month of July and into the first half of August.
And now for the news...
A Brief History
Botanically, the cherry is part of the genus Prunus in the rose family, a relative of the apricot, peach, plum and almond. Both the sour (prunus cerasus) and sweet (prunus avium) cherry have a long lineage that probably originated in western Asia. The word "cherry" appears to be a derivative of the Greek word "kerasos," also the name of a city in what is now considered Turkey (currently the world leader in cherry production).
According to The Oxford Companion to Food, the sweet cherry figured into the 1st century AD writings of Pliny the Elder, who counted at least eight varieties enchanting his fellow Romans. Both sweet and sour varieties made their way through western and northern Europe; they likely arrived on this side of the pond in the 17th century -- the Brits in New England and the French in the Great Lakes. American cultivation took off in the 1800s in the Pacific Northwest for sweet cherries and in northern Michigan for sour varieties (aka "tart" among industry folk).
Factual Nibbles
- Michigan's Traverse City is known as the (sour) cherry capital of the world, home to an annual festival since 1948 and a robust sour cherry industry. But this year's festivities surely have been hampered by a nearly nonexistent sour cherry harvest, down by 68 percent (157 million tons last year compared to 5.5 million tons this year). Due to wildly fluctuating temperatures this spring, the cherry blossoms didn't have a fighting chance.
- The best-known (and most prolific) variety of American sweet cherry is the Bing, a 19th century cultivar developed in Oregon by horticulturist Seth Lewelling. It was named after Ah Bing, a Manchurian foreman on Lewelling's tree fruit nursery.
After Turkey, the U.S. is the world's second leading producer of cherries.
In addition to Michigan, major sour cherry-producing states are: New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Oregon. The best-known varieties are Montmorency and Morello, preferred by pie bakers (sour cherries are sometimes referred to as 'pie cherries').
There are seven major sweet cherry-producing states, with Washington State leading the pack. Washington and Oregon combined harvest about 60 percent of the nation's sweet cherries that include the Bing, Lapin, Sweetheart and the yellow-blushed Rainier varieties. California and Idaho are also major contributors to the sweet cherry harvest.
Americans eat an average of 2.6 pounds of cherries per year.
Environmental Impact
A relatively short season and abundance in several parts of the country put the cherry high on a local food lover's list. But because of its high perishability, the modern cherry has had its share of environmental woes and agricultural worker safety concerns, namely with pesticides and fungicides. A top offender has been azinphos-methyl, a pesticide widely used among orchard crops for decades, which has been linked to health problems for farm workers. Citing "a high degree of risk to agricultural workers, as well as significant acute ecological risks," the Environmental Protection Agency in 2006 ordered an eventual phasing-out of azinphos-methyl; according to EPA documents, the phase-out was completed in September 2013.
This would explain why until recently, the cherry was a member of the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen," the 12 produce items with the highest pesticide load.
Frankly, it is tough to find organic, pesticide-free cherries, so your best course of action is to talk to growers at the source -- from farmers' markets to pick-your-own orchards -- and get the 411 on their pesticide programs. (*Also, see our veggie rule of thumb, below.)
The cherries you see in the supermarket in January? They've been flown in from Chile.
And now for some uplifting news: The cherry is a motherlode of nutrients and disease-fighting antioxidants. One cup of cherries (approximately 21 pitted) have just 90 calories and is a rich source of potassium and Vitamin C, plus fiber and even a small amount of protein.
What intrigues this cherry lover is the plethora of anthocyanins (the source of the red pigment), which possess preventative powers that have been linked to lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease, heart disease and diabetes. As an anti-inflammatory, the cherry is showing great potential as a pain reliever for arthritis and maybe even gout.
What to Look For
No browning, bruising or any other boo-boos, please. Because of its soft flesh, the cherry is fragile. A sweet cherry in all of its cherry-ness is dark, juicy and firm. In just a matter of days, it can turn from sweet to fermented.
What to Do With It
In case you hadn't noticed, cherries are highly perishable. Keep in the refrigerator unwashed until ready to eat. Wash thoroughly before serving.
Too many cherries and not enough time? Freeze them: Wash, stem and remove the pits. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and transfer to the freezer, if space permits. Transfer cherries to a freezer bag or freezer-friendly container. The tray freezing step helps to keep cherries from clumping.
Is a Cherry Pitter Worth all the Hype?
It depends. For large volumes of fruit, a hand-held pitter is indispensable. For smaller amounts, a paring knife will do the job - or try this trick from the gals at Food 52 -- a chop stick jerryrigged over a bottle.
Once pitted, the cherry is a cook's dream in every realm: raw or cooked, savory or sweet, fresh or preserved. I've made cherry salsa, clafoutis, pie, cobbler, brownies, jam, ketchup and leather. Cherry leather? Why yes indeed. Keep reading for those details, and get the neighborhood kids involved. They'll think you're a magician -- another reason to love the sweet, care-free cherry.
Cherry Fruit Leather
Adapted from Put'em Up! by Sherri Brooks Vinton
4 cups sweet dark cherries, stemmed and pitted
A large splash (About 1/4 cup) of water
1/3 to 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Tools :
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat, baking tray, immersion blender or stand blender.
Here's What to Do:
Place the cherries and water in a medium-sized saucepan (a deeper pot is good if using an immersion blender in the pan) and bring to a boil. Simmer until the cherries begin to break down, 10 to 15 minutes.
Puree the fruit, using an immersion blender or by pouring it into a stand blender and then back into the pot again.
Preheat the oven to 170°F. Line a jelly-roll pan or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
Add the sugar and continue to simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the puree thickens to the consistency of baby food; this may take 10 to 15 minutes.
Spread the thickened puree onto the baking sheet, tilting to create an even layer about 1/8 inch thick. Bake in the oven until just tacky to the touch, 2 to 3 hours (I would estimate closer to 3).
Cool to room temperature. Slide the leather (and its liner) onto a cutting board and carefully peel away the leather. Slice the leather in half vertically. Roll up each half and slice each roll into strips, about 2 inches wide. Store roll-ups in an airtight container for a few weeks.
(*Fruit and vegetable rule of thumb: We think that first and foremost, in terms of nutrition, people should eat lots of fruits and vegetables whether they are organic or not. The EWG's guide is a handy list, but we will point out here that the impacts of pesticides are not limited to your ingestion of them - agricultural chemicals also affect farmworkers and local waterways, both good reasons to buy organic, even those vegetables that carry a light pesticide load. Also, it has been demonstrated that produce grown by small-scale farmers, even those who are not certified organic, tends to have a lighter pesticide load than its industrially-produced counterpart, owing to industry's tendency toward large monocrops.)

Appointed as Town of Lockport attorney
Michael J. Norris, who has served as Niagara County Republican chairman since November 2009, announced Wednesday he is leaving the position of county chairman effective immediately.
Earlier in the day, the Lockport Town Board appointed Norris as the Town of Lockport town attorney. Norris is also a partner in the law firm of Seaman, Norris, & Benedict LLP.
Norris offered the following statement:
"It has truly been a privilege and honor to serve as the Niagara County Republican chairman for the past three and one half years, and it certainly has been an exciting chapter in my life. However, with my appointment today as Town of Lockport attorney, a new chapter begins.
"The position of town attorney will require me to commit a significant of my time and energy to providing legal services to the Town of Lockport. There are only so many hours in one day.
"Being chairman of the Niagara County Republican Committee is very demanding and requires a leader who can devote a great amount of effort to our organization. I have worked tirelessly as chairman but, with my additional professional obligations, it is simply not viable to maintain this level of involvement, and it is not in my nature to do a job in a half-hearted manner. Therefore, I have concluded that the right thing to do is to pass the torch to a new leader at this time.
"I would like to thank State Sen. George Maziarz, Chairman Emeritus Henry Wojtaszek, vice chairmen Scott Kiedrowski and James Heuer, Secretary Marcus Hall, Treasurer Ross Annable, the town and city chairpersons, members of the executive and County Republican Committee, Elections Commissioner Mary Ann Casamento and her staff, all Republican elected officials who represent Niagara County, State Chairman Ed Cox and his staff, fellow Republican county chairman from Western New York, and the hundreds of financial supporters and volunteers who I have had the pleasure to interact with as chairman and for all that you do to make our Republican organization succeed here in Niagara County and Western New York. We have a tremendous team, and it is one that we should all be very proud to be a part of.
"President George H.W. Bush once said, 'The new breeze blows, a page turns, the story unfolds.'
"So, please know that as this chapter ends and a new one begins for both me and the Niagara County GOP, I have valued the trust that you have placed in me; I worked very hard to make our organization stronger; I pledge to offer my full assistance to ensure a smooth transition; and I am extremely grateful to each and every one of you who helped in so many countless ways to make my tenure as chairman a most successful, fulfilling and enjoyable one."

Ronaldo and Costa step up Champions League final fitness
Cristiano Ronaldo and Diego Costa have stepped up their respective recoveries ahead of Saturday's Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in Lisbon.
Costa remains a major doubt for the game having been diagnosed with a grade 1 hamstring tear last Monday, but having undergone a "miracle" horse-placenta treatment in Belgrade this week, the Atletico top scorer surprisingly took some part in team training on his return to Madrid on Thursday.
Meanwhile Ronaldo - who has not played since substituting himself with a thigh muscle problem just eight minutes into Madrid's 1-1 draw at Valladolid on May 7 - also returned to group training for the first time this week at his club's session on Thursday at Valdebebas, although AS reports that he only took part in a limited role for precautionary reasons.
Atletico's club statement was short on details but said that Costa and Arda Turan - who is a doubt with a pelvic problem - had trained and were travelling to Lisbon for the decider.
"At its camp in Los Angeles de San Rafael, the team had its last training session on Spanish soil before beginning the journey to Lisbon for the Champions League final," the statement read.
"In this training session on Segovian soil, Diego Pablo Simeone could count on all the squad to continue preparing for the game which closes a season with the second Champions League final in our history. The Argentine coach had available all 22 players who make up the first team squad, and all will travel to the Portuguese capital."
While Ronaldo is expected to start no matter what, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also has doubts about centre-half Pepe - who suffered a calf problem in the game against Valladolid - and centre-forward Karim Benzema, who limped out of last weekend's 3-1 final La Liga day win over Espanyol with an abductor issue.
Pepe has been all but discarded for the final against Atletico and is expected to be replaced by France international Raphael Varane.
Benzema is to have a late fitness test in Friday evening's final training session at Lisbon's Estadio Da Luz. Should the former Lyon striker not be declared fit, then Isco will come into the starting XI.
A Real statement released Thursday evening also gave little away, just stating that the entire first team squad had been called up for the final club game of the season.
"Madrid's travelling party, headed by 23 players and club president Florentino Perez, has arrived in Lisbon," the statement read. "The Whites landed in Portela after a flight of just under one hour. The team then made the trip to Hotel Tivoli, where they will be staying until their Champions League final on Saturday against Atletico."

Here's an excerpt from Shiloh Walker's Stolen, which hits stores 10/30.
More info about the book:
This thrilling and super sexy novel from bestselling romantic suspense author Shiloh Walker will appeal to fans of Allison Brennan and Linda Howard.
Shay Morgan has stayed hidden for a long time. Living a reclusive life in Earth's End, Alaska, she's as far away as she can get from the trauma of her childhood and the man who hurt her long ago. But terror takes over Shay's life yet again when an unknown stalker steals away the fragile peace she's built for herself—targeting not only her but the one man who's ever managed to get past the walls she's built around herself.
Elliot Winter has lived through being falsely accused before—it ruined his military career. Now it's happening all over again. And this time, his accuser is a twisted impostor who's targeting his ex-girlfriend, Shay. Despite a fierce mutual attraction, Shay and Elliot broke up because Shay couldn't let her guard down, couldn't let Elliot in. But now they both need to trust each other to confront a psycho who seems to know all their secrets.

Breast cancer
Breast cancer is cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of breast cancer:
- Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that carry milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are of this type.
- Lobular carcinoma starts in the parts of the breast, called lobules, which produce milk.
In rare cases, breast cancer can start in other areas of the breast.
Over the course of a lifetime, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Risk factors you cannot change include:
- Age and gender -- Your risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older. Most advanced breast cancer cases are found in women over age 50. Men can also get breast cancer. But they are 100 times less likely than women to get breast cancer.
- Family history of breast cancer -- You may also have a higher risk of breast cancer if you have a close relative who has had breast, uterine, ovarian, or colon cancer.
- Genes -- The most common gene defects are found in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genes normally produce proteins that protect you from cancer. If a parent passes you a defective gene, you have an increased risk of breast cancer. Women with one of these defects have up to an 80% chance of getting breast cancer sometime during their life.
- Menstrual cycle -- Women who got their periods early (before age 12) or went through menopause late (after age 55) have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Other risk factors include:
- Alcohol use -- Drinking more than 1 to 2 glasses of alcohol a day may increase your risk of breast cancer.
- Childbirth -- Women who have never had children or who had their first child after age 30 have an increased risk of breast cancer. Being pregnant more than once or becoming pregnant at an early age reduces your risk of breast cancer.
- DES -- Women who took diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriage may have an increased risk of breast cancer after age 40. This drug was given to the women in the 1940s through the 1960s.
- Hormone therapy (HT) -- You have a higher risk of breast cancer if you received hormone therapy with estrogen for several years or more.
- Obesity -- Obesity has been linked to breast cancer, although this link is not well understood. Experts think that obese women produce more estrogen. This may fuel the development of breast cancer.
- Radiation -- If you received radiation therapy as a child or young adult to treat cancer of the chest area, you have a very high risk of developing breast cancer. The younger you started such radiation and the higher the dose, the higher your risk. This is especially true if the radiation was given during breast development.
Breast implants, using antiperspirants, and wearing underwire bras do not increase the risk of breast cancer. There is also no evidence of a direct link between breast cancer and pesticides.
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
- Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually does not hurt
- Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple -- for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange
- Fluid from the nipple -- may be bloody, clear to yellow, green, or look like pus
In men, breast cancer symptoms include breast lump and breast pain and tenderness.
Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include:
- Bone pain
- Breast pain or discomfort
- Skin ulcers
- Swelling of the lymph nodes in the armpit (next to the breast with cancer)
- Weight loss
Exams and Tests
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and risk factors. Then the doctor will perform a physical exam. The exam includes both breasts, armpits, and the neck and chest area.
Tests used to diagnose and monitor patients with breast cancer may include:
- Breast MRI to help better identify the breast lump or evaluate an abnormal change on a mammogram
- Breast ultrasound to show whether the lump is solid or fluid-filled
- Breast biopsy, using methods such as needle aspiration, ultrasound-guided. stereotactic. or open
- CT scan to check if the cancer has spread outside the breast
- Mammography to screen for breast cancer or help identify the breast lump
- PET scan to check if the cancer has spread
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes
If your doctor learns that you do have breast cancer, more tests will be done. This is called staging, which checks if the cancer has spread. Staging helps guide treatment and follow-up. It also gives you an idea of what to expect in the future.
Breast cancer stages range from 0 to IV. The higher the stage, the more advanced the cancer.
Treatment is based on many factors, including:
- Type and stage of the cancer
- Whether the cancer is sensitive to certain hormones
- Whether the cancer overproduces (overexpresses) the HER2/neu gene
Cancer treatments may include:
- Chemotherapy. which uses medicines to kill cancer cells.
- Radiation therapy. which is used to destroy cancerous tissue.
- Surgery to remove cancerous tissue: A lumpectomy removes the
breast lump; mastectomy removes all or part of the breast and possible nearby structures.
- Targeted therapy uses medicine to attack the gene changes in cancer cells. Hormone therapy is an example of targeted therapy. It blocks certain hormones that fuel cancer growth.
Cancer treatment can be local or systemic:
- Local treatments involve only the area of disease. Radiation and surgery are forms of local treatment. They are most effective when the cancer has not spread outside the breast.
- Systemic treatments affect the entire body. Chemotherapy and hormonal therapy are types of systemic treatment.
Most women receive a combination of treatments. For women with stage I, II, or III breast cancer, the main goal is to treat the cancer and prevent it from returning (curing). For women with stage IV cancer, the goal is to improve symptoms and help them live longer. In most cases, stage IV breast cancer cannot be cured.
- Stage 0 and ductal carcinoma -- Lumpectomy plus radiation or mastectomy is the standard treatment.
- Stage I and II -- Lumpectomy plus radiation or mastectomy with lymph node removal is the standard treatment. Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and other targeted therapy may also be used after surgery.
- Stage III -- Treatment involves surgery, possibly followed by chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and other targeted therapy.
- Stage IV -- Treatment may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, other targeted therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
After treatment, some women continue to take medicines for a time. All women continue to have blood tests, mammograms, and other tests after treatment.
Women who have had a mastectomy may have reconstructive breast surgery. This will be done either at the time of mastectomy or later.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Outlook (Prognosis)
New, improved treatments are helping persons with breast cancer live longer. Even with treatment, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Sometimes, cancer returns even after the entire tumor has been removed and nearby lymph nodes are found to be cancer-free.
Some women who have had breast cancer develop a new breast cancer that is not related to the original tumor.
How well you do after being treated for breast cancer depends on many things. The more advanced your cancer, the poorer the outcome. Other factors that determine the risk of recurrence and the likelihood of successful treatment include:
- Location of the tumor and how far it has spread
- Whether the tumor is hormone receptor-positive or -negative
- Tumor markers
- Gene expression
- Tumor size and shape
- Rate of cell division or how quickly the tumor is growing
After considering all of the above, your doctor can discuss your risk of having a recurrence of breast cancer.
Possible Complications
You may experience side effects or complications from cancer treatment. These may include temporary pain or swelling of the breast and surrounding area. Ask your doctor about the possible side effects from treatment.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Contact your health care provider if:
- You have a breast or armpit lump
- You have nipple discharge
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms after being treated for breast cancer:
- Nipple discharge
- Rash on the breast
- New lumps in the breast
- Swelling in the area
- Pain, especially chest pain, abdominal pain, or bone pain
Talk to your health care provider about how often you should have mammogram. Early breast cancers found by a mammogram have a good chance of being cured.
Tamoxifen is approved for breast cancer prevention in women aged 35 and older who are at high risk. Discuss this with your doctor.
Women at very high risk of breast cancer may consider preventive (prophylactic) mastectomy. This is surgery to remove the breasts before breast cancer is diagnosed. Possible candidates include:
- Women who have already had one breast removed due to cancer
- Women with a strong family history of breast cancer
- Women with genes or genetic mutations that raise their risk of breast cancer (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2)
Many risk factors, such as your genes and family history, cannot be controlled. But making healthy lifestyle changes may reduce your overall chance of getting cancer. This includes:
- Eating healthy foods
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Limiting alcohol consumption to one drink per day (women at high risk of breast cancer should not drink alcohol at all)

British design duo Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have just showcased their Fall 2011 collection for the NYC-based label rag & bone. They may be better known for their denim heritage, but as this collection demonstrates they are now attempting to take menswear to a whole new level.
Although I am not sure about some of the styling, there is no denying they have brought both expert tailoring and layering together to create a truly original look. The collection was inspired by photos of the Duke of Windsor, and the designers incorporated an array of tartan plaids onto everything from jackets and suits to quilted shirts and kilts.
Personally I love the eclectic colour palette that is used across everything from wool suits to quilted leggings. This is a risky collection, but that said I think there are a number of really strong pieces – possibly even some of rag & bone's best yet.
Check out the full collection in the gallery below.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - June 12, 2013 --Gov. Tom Corbett is reiterating that he wants a liquor privatization bill on his desk before July, although he says he can be flexible about details.
The Republican governor held a brief news conference in the Capitol on Wednesday at which he said he wants a privatization bill out of the Senate that's "close enough" that he can then engage in final negotiations with senators and the state House.
He says his "ears are open" and that his administration "will listen to everything."
The House has passed a privatization bill, and a leading state senator's proposal is expected to be released next week.
A sticking point could be whether the state sells off its wholesale operations. Corbett says he thinks that's in the state's best interests.

Another medical group is asking Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant to expand Medicaid.
The Mississippi Chapter of the American College of Physicians sent Bryant a letter Friday, saying the state would benefit from additional federal money. The group has 569 members who practice internal medicine or subspecialties. It also has 351 medical students as members.
The Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians already has endorsed Medicaid expansion, as have several hospital administrators.
Republican Bryant remains opposed. His spokesman, Mick Bullock, says the state can't afford for one-third of its residents to enroll in the government insurance program.
Under the 2010 federal health overhaul, states have the option of expanding Medicaid to people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,000. Mississippi's current cutoff is about $5,500.
