2016 Paris
Take the pavsectors for instance,replica love cartier chain. Chunks of uneven stone better suited to horse drawn carts treacherously slippery with mud churned up as the riders fly past at speeds of over 50 km/hr. Crashes and punctures are a regular sight throughout and it's rare a rider makes it through the whole race without an issue.
It's set to countryside not out of place in a Brothers Grimm tale as the peloton plunges into the Forest of Arenberg and winds through roads used regularly only by a handful of farmers on the way to the famous velodrome in Roubaix.
With rain threatening to make this edition of Paris Roubaix the first wet race since 2005, most of the riders will be going into the pavof northern France with little to no idea of what to expect from the race. 10 riders have managed the Tour of Flanders Roubaix double in a season, but only Rik Van Looy in 1962 managed it while World Champion. Sagan lives in the moment though,replica pendant cartier, his focus will be entirely on winning the event for the challenge and prestige rather than any tilt at history.
He played it smart in the Ronde (Tour of Flanders), stealing a march on Fabian Cancellara (Trek Segafredo) by following a bold move with plenty of distance still to race. He then dropped the power to surge away from Sep Vanmarcke (Lotto NL Jumbo) and solo to the finish.
He's got the form, the bike handling skills and the mentality to take the win here as well, but Roubaix is a more tactical affair, and Tinkoff hasn't got riders that can go deep into the final with Sagan. His form is arguably stronger than his results this year show with mechanical problems and bad luck in several races preventing him from winning. A three time winner of Roubaix, he's got the experience to go with his legs,replica cartier love collection necklace, and will be a very popular champion if he can manage it.
His old rival for the cobbled classics and four time winner here, Tom Boonen (Etixx Quickstep), had a shortened preparation after a nasty crash at Abu Dhabi last season, and has been off the pace in the cobbled races where he would normally excel. Is he past it these days? He has been building form gradually, so maybe 'Tommeke' will prove everyone wrong with one last, great victory.
"In my first Roubaix the cobbles were beating me. He has struggled to really break through following those performances, with only one win in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to his name.
He's taken a different approach this season,replica diamond necklace cartier, skipping the early cobbled races, presumably with a view to peaking later and giving himself a better shot at the win. Vanmarcke specialises in these tough events and it would be a big surprise if he wasn't near the front of the race to have a go at taking a win which has been a long time coming. The former cyclocross world champion will relish the wet conditions, and has been the best of the Etixx Quickstep riders this season. A big hulking frame, who seems to muscle his way over obstacles, the Brit is one of the strongest riders in the peloton. Third in E3 Harelbeke shows his form is good, but he often misapplies his efforts. for example, his performance in the Ronde and Milan San Remo, he was spent by the time the crucial moves go. His partnership with teammate Luke Rowe will be important, and if they are both in a small group at the end they will have the advantage.
Giant Alpecin's horrific start to the season with the car crashing into their team at training camp meaning that a big portion of their squad and their star rider, John Degenkolb, are on the couch watching the races they would love to be a part of. The race has lost something without the reigning champion returning but it does open the door for the fairytale story of the race.
Bert de Backer turned himself inside out for Degenkolb in the last two editions of Roubaix, doing important work for the big German in the finale, when all the other team's domestiques faded away. It would be a great moment for the battered and beleaguered squad if de Backer could manage a result, and certainly a feel good moment for everyone in the sport.

10 ways to reduce food waste and save money
Australians throw away $8 billion worth of edible food (up to 20 per cent of our groceries) every year, often because we buy too much or aren't sure what to do with leftovers. Try these simple ways to reduce your household food waste including practical tips from OzHarvest Chef for a Cause Travis Harvey and you'll also save time and money.
1. Take a shopping list
It seems like a no brainer, but planning meals in advance is the easiest way to avoid buying items you don't need and won't use. Take a look in your fridge and pantry before leaving home and write a shopping list so you don't end up with three cabbages in the crisper. The best tip to avoid impulse purchases? Don't go shopping on an empty stomach!
2. Buy less groceries more frequently
If you can, try to replenish fresh produce and other perishables every few days rather than buying a week's worth in the hope that you'll use everything. The fruit and veggies will be fresher and you won't be tempted to make enormous portions that will be binned later. Choose quality (fresh, organic, fair trade, unprocessed) over quantity and your meals will be tastier for it.
3. Cook only what you need
An effective way to reduce food waste (and the waistline) is to reduce portion sizes, so cook only what is required rather than pouring enough pasta to feed an army. Wait 15 minutes to see if you are still hungry before heading back to the kitchen you might be surprised at how full you feel.
4. Store food better
Correct storage can add days, weeks and even months to your food. Make sure dry goods are stored in air tight containers to avoid moisture and weevils, freeze leftovers and remember that not all fruit and veg should be stored in the fridge sometimes it will make them go off quicker. "Herbs will last for weeks if you get some damp paper towelling and wrap them up before storing in a sealed container," says Travis. "Spinach and lettuce should always be stored in a bag or container,love replica pendant, with any wilting leaves removed before storage."
5. Understand expiration dates
Knowing what is meant by 'best before' and 'use by' could mean the difference between emptying the contents of your fridge to make a delicious dinner and throwing away a fridge full of perfectly edible food. Check whether food looks, smells and tastes ok if it does then it's usually fine to eat and rotate older ingredients to the front so that it's not forgotten.
6. Make leftovers your friend
Leftovers contribute over a quarter of food waste but there are plenty of creative uses for them. Travis's tip is to make stock and minestrone. "Anytime I have leftover vegetable trimmings like leek, carrot, tomato or parsley stalks I place them in a zip lock bag in the freezer," he says. "I add to the bag any time I have some more and eventually I have enough to make a veggie stock," he says. Deboning a chook or filleting a fish? Travis recommends freezing the carcass or bones to make a stock from them later on. Search SBS Food recipes by ingredient to find a dish suited to your surplus. A simple herb garden in the kitchen means you will always have a fresh supply on hand and can snip the perfect amount for your dish start with rosemary, parsley and mint and see how much money you save! See how you can grow your own herbs with a few tips here.
8. Freeze for later
Frozen food gets a bad rap, however the problem isn't in the freezing but in the quality of the produce. Travis suggests freezing peeled chopped banana for smoothies, or leaving them whole with the skin on for banana bread. "Another great idea is juicing lemons then freezing the juice in ice cube trays so you can grab just a bit as you need it," he adds.
9. Compost (or donate) the scraps
Put potato peels and wilted veggies to good use by throwing them in your garden as a nutrient rich fertiliser. Keep a small bin in the kitchen for food scraps and a compost bin outside,cartier replica necklace love, in the direct sunlight if possible to help waste break down faster. Check out our how to compost guide right here.
10,replica cartier necklace for men. Preserve seasonal produce
Cooking with a new bounty of produce each season is exciting, however it can be hard to use up all the excess before it turns bad. Preserving is a great way to enhance flavour to in season fruit and vegetables by adding salt, vinegar and spices, making it possible to enjoy your favourite foods year round. "If I am lucky enough to receive some homegrown lemons when the trees are laden with them,replica cartier love pendant, I will use as much as I can fresh, make some lemon butter and then preserve the rest using rock salt, bay leaves and fennel seeds," Travis says.

A Very Unique Folding Chair,replica cartier mens chain
This chair design came to me after a failed attempt at re creating a chair I had seen by Architectural Designer Robert van Embricqs. It was a very beautiful and stunning piece, but seemed to expensive to do it just the way he had. So I set out to make a less expensive version of his chair and it looked amazing, however it couldn't even hold my 95lb daughter. I was then left with about 70 pieces of 3/4" x 3/4 " wood in varying lengths. What was I going to do with all that wood?
A couple of days later, I remembered having seen a sketch of a chair in a booktitled "Nomadic Furniture" by James Hennessey and Victor Papanek called a "Savonarola Folding Throne". After a quick search on the internet for better pictures of it, I thought I figured out how it was put together. Although I have only seen them in the open chair position and never folded, I could only imagine that the following is a pretty close (albeit very simplified) approximation of how it is done.
It has been my experience with woodworking that there is never just one tool that can be used or just one way to put something together. The first couple of these chairs that I made I did with just a table saw, miter saw, tape measure, drill with a few bits and some sand paper, so most hobbyists will have the right tools for this project. Once you read through this, you will have a good idea what tools you have in your arsenal that will work for this job. Here is a list of the supplies I have come to use for making these. (The chair in this instructable is number 10 including the first two prototypes) Table saw for ripping lengths of pieces
Miter saw with attached jig the jig makes sure that every piece is exactly the same (and all without measuring)
Router with 5/16" bit and attached jig the router makes sure the holes are nice and straight and the jig makes sure the spacing on the holes are exactly the same on each piece (again, no measuring needed once you make the jig)
Drill with varying bit sizes and a 3/8" boring bit for counter sinking screws
Sander this keeps the slivers out of our tender bits
Rack for applying stain and polyurethane,replica love cartier pendant, and also for drying
Foam brushes for apply stain and poly
Safety goggles and hearing protection
Square for making sure things are squarish
Vinyl paper for spacers I'll explain these later
Hacksaw for cutting dowels to length in the finishing stages of the build Three 1"x4"x8' boards (actual dimensions 3/4"x3 1/2"x8') These should be as knot free as possible because we are using such small pieces and if the knots span the width of the piece it will be very weak there (I am using pine for this build, but other woods work very well too, as you will see in later pictures)
Two 5/16"x3' wooden dowels
Thirty four 1" screws (something reasonably appropriate for use with wood)
Wood glue
Wood stain optional depending on type of wood used
Polyurethane again,love replica pendant, optional depending on type of wood used
The first step is to cleanly cut the ends off your boards using the miter saw. These ends are never quite square, will sometimes have grade markings on them and they are also pretty rough. You shouldn't be making a very big cut,love replica chain, just enough to tidy things up.
Now set up the fence to cut all the boards into 3/4" strips. If you get it at just 3/4" and not a hair over (assuming you have a standard blade that gives you a 1/8" kerf) you will be able to get 4 strips from each board without any waste. When you set your blade height, you want the teeth to just clear the top of the board as it comes through. This will give you a nice clean cut as well as keeping the saw from throwing a bunch of sawdust in your face as you cut.
If you've done everything right so far, you should have twelve 3/4"x3/4"x8' lengths of wood. This will actually be more than you need, but some pieces may not be desirable for this project, so you want to have a little extra. If you only ended up with nine of these and three thinner ones, do like the Hitchhiker's Guide says and DON'T PANIC because the nine pieces will be enough if you chose very carefully when you bought your wood. If you don't have any knots or there are only very small ones everything should be fine.
This chair is, for the most part, just two pieces of wood repeated 17 times. There are the longer pieces that make up the sides that are 27" long and square on both ends. Then there are the seat pieces, which are square on one end and cut at a 40 angle on the other end. The short side of this piece is 15" and the long side of this piece is 15 11/16".
The most efficient way of cutting these pieces is to cut two side pieces and two seat pieces from each length. When you're cutting these you want to be aware of a couple of things. First of all, you don't want any potential structural failures due to weaknesses in the wood, so watch out for splits and large knots. Cut your pieces from either side of these types of imperfections. If you cut two long pieces and two short pieces from each length, you will have about 10" or so of scrap left over, so if you have to cut a knot or split out of the middle of your length, you will still have enough to get your four pieces. Don't forget that you also have a few extra lengths to use too, so don't be too stingy and use inadequate pieces.

500 jobs globally
Consumer electronics giant Royal Philips Electronicson Mondaysaid it is planning to cut 4,500 jobs globally as part of a cost saving programme and did not rule out the possibility of this exercise affecting employees in India.
The job cuts are part of a plan to save 800 million euros (USD 1.1 billion), the Netherlands based Philips said in a statement.
"About 60 per cent of the savings are people related and will result in the loss of 4,500 positions, 1,400 of which will be in the Netherlands. The remaining 40 per cent relate to other structural costs," Philips said.
Philips employed about 1,20,cartier love bangle with diamonds,582 people globally at the end of September quarter. In India, the company employs about 9,000 employees across all its units.
When contacted, a spokesperson of the Indian operations of the company said, "At this point, most work streams have not yet translated the impacted jobs to an individual employee level. In the coming weeks, the functional plans will be further detailed and shared with the countries."
All the reductions in a country, will be coordinated at the country/location level with HR attaining the necessary regulatory approval, the spokesperson added.
Commenting on the global job cut,cartier love bracelet 4 diamonds, Royal Philips Electronics Chief Executive Officer Frans Van Houten said,cartier love bangle for sale, "We are in the middle of a multi year
overhaul to become a more entrepreneurial and lean company."
The cost reduction plan of euros 800 million has now been detailed and we are in the process of deploying it across the organisation as we optimise all overhead and support costs, not directly involved in the operational consumer value chain.
"The cost saving programme will lead to loss of approximately 4,500 jobs, which is a regrettable but inevitable step to improve our operating model to become more agile, lean and competitive."
The company made the announcement as it reported a slump in third quarter profits as a result of loss at its TV division.
The group's net profit for the three months ended September 30, stood at 74 million euros (USD 103 million), compared with 524 million euros a year earlier.
The latest quarter results included a loss of 54 million euros related to Television business. Philips' revenues for the quarter under review declined by 1.3 per cent to 5,cartier love bracelet sale.39 billion euros.
"We do not expect to realise a material performance improvement in the near term," Houten said, adding the company is taking steps to achieve its 2013 mid term financial targets, which included 4 6 per cent sales growth by 2013 and an earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation margin of 10 12 per cent.

Consumer electronics giant Royal Philips Electronicson Mondaysaid it is planning to cut 4,500 jobs globally as part of a cost saving programme and did not rule out the possibility of this exercise affecting employees in India.
The job cuts are part of a plan to save 800 million euros (USD 1.1 billion), the Netherlands based Philips said in a statement.
"About 60 per cent of the savings are people related and will result in the loss of 4,500 positions, 1,400 of which will be in the Netherlands. The remaining 40 per cent relate to other structural costs," Philips said.
Philips employed about 1,20,cartier love bangle with diamonds,582 people globally at the end of September quarter. In India, the company employs about 9,000 employees across all its units.
When contacted, a spokesperson of the Indian operations of the company said, "At this point, most work streams have not yet translated the impacted jobs to an individual employee level. In the coming weeks, the functional plans will be further detailed and shared with the countries."
All the reductions in a country, will be coordinated at the country/location level with HR attaining the necessary regulatory approval, the spokesperson added.
Commenting on the global job cut,cartier love bracelet 4 diamonds, Royal Philips Electronics Chief Executive Officer Frans Van Houten said,cartier love bangle for sale, "We are in the middle of a multi year
overhaul to become a more entrepreneurial and lean company."
The cost reduction plan of euros 800 million has now been detailed and we are in the process of deploying it across the organisation as we optimise all overhead and support costs, not directly involved in the operational consumer value chain.
"The cost saving programme will lead to loss of approximately 4,500 jobs, which is a regrettable but inevitable step to improve our operating model to become more agile, lean and competitive."

11 compete for seats on state tax commission
California is the only state with an elected tax commission, and this year 11 candidates are vying for positions on the panel.
The obscure yet powerful Board of Equalization is responsible for administering tax policies and ruling on appeals from businesses and residents.
Four members are elected to represent vast districts, each with roughly 9.5 million residents. A fifth seat on the board is filled by the state controller.
"Our job is to minimize the frustration of taxation," said Jerome Horton, a Democrat and the board's chairman. A former legislator, he is running unopposed for reelection to his second full term, representing the Los Angeles area.
The competition is particularly heated for a seat in the southern district that includes Republican strongholds of San Diego and Orange counties.
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey (R Dana Point) is facing off against Republicans Van Tran and Shirley Horton, who each served several years in the state Legislature.
Other candidates include Republicans Lewis Da Silva and John F. Kelly, as well as Democrat Nader Shahatit.
The seat is being vacated by Republican Michelle Steel,cartier bracelet love, who served two terms and is now running for Orange County supervisor.
It's a position that allows you to burnish your tax fighting credentials. That's what makes it such a valuable seat for Republicans. Reed Galen, a Republican consultant
Candidates said they want to make the Board of Equalization more business friendly.
Harkey, who was elected to the Assembly in 2008, is concerned the state is wasting too much money going after small businesses for small amounts of unpaid taxes.
"Let's not spend more state money auditing than we'd actually collect," she said.
Shirley Horton said she's concerned that California's tax policies are too complicated, tripping up companies that are otherwise trying to play by the rules.
"Sometimes we need to make the process more simple and more fair," she said.
Tran said he'd also like the board to be more conciliatory toward businesses, given what he says are California's high tax rates.
"As an elected official, I would have a megaphone to talk about these issues and an opportunity to work with my former legislative colleagues," he said.
Another competitive race is taking shape in the district that includes almost all of inland California,best fake cartier love bracelet, from San Bernardino to Modoc counties.
Incumbent George Runner, a Republican and former state lawmaker, is trying to fend off a challenge from Chris Parker, a Democrat and attorney at the Franchise Tax Board,cartier classic bracelet, an agency that collects income and corporate taxes. Runner beat Parker in 2010 to win the board seat.
Parker wants to consolidate various tax services currently provided by multiple agencies. He said his expertise makes him a good fit for the job.
"It's beyond time that we put tax people on a tax board," he said.
District lines have been redrawn since the last board election. Parker hopes the new boundaries, which gave Democrats an edge over Republicans in voter registration,cartier love bracelet full diamonds, work in his favor.
Runner brushed off Parker's concerns about expertise. He pledged to continue helping businesses avoid getting tangled in complicated tax laws.
"Most people get into trouble not because they don't want to comply, but because they get caught up in some very strange tax laws," he said.
Former Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, a Democrat from San Francisco, is running to represent the Board of Equalization district that includes coastal areas from the Oregon border south to Santa Barbara.
Her only opponent is Republican James Theis of Hollister, a manager at an organic foods company.
Theis said he'd like to waive penalties on overdue tax bills of less than $10,000, encouraging businesses to pay up. He said that would save resources needed to track down much larger sums.

2 Stolen Van Goghs Recovered,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust for sale
Anti mafia police in Naples, Italy, have recovered two paintings by Vincent van Gogh that were stolen from a museum in Amsterdam more than a decade ago. They've been missing ever since.
Fine Art
Where's This Painting? 30 Years After Its Theft, Nobody Knows
"The paintings have been found!" he said in a statement. "That I would be able to ever pronounce these words is something I had no longer dared to hope for,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch."
The Associated Press reports that the paintings were found during a raid of the Camorra crime clan as part of a crackdown targeting cocaine trafficking. The "priceless" paintings and tens of millions of euros worth of property were seized by police.
The paintings had suffered some damage but appear to be in "relatively good condition," the Van Gogh Museum said.
The paintings were stolen in 2002,used rolex datejust replica.
An alarm went off as soon as the window was broken, but the thieves snagged the paintings and shimmied down a rope to the street before security could reach them.
Police had "no leads" at the time, the Independent reported. Investigators were "baffled" that the burglars evaded infrared systems and cameras to escape without a trace, the BBC said.
The paintings in question aren't among Van Gogh's most famous, but they have huge "art historical" value, the Van Gogh Museum says.
Seascape at Scheveningen, painted in 1882, is an early work and one of only two seascapes that Van Gogh painted while he was in The Hague, the museum says.
Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen is the only painting in the Van Gogh Museum's collection still in its "original stretcher frame," which is covered in splashes of paint that appear to be from Van Gogh cleaning his brush. Van Gogh painted it in 1884 for his mother, and added churchgoers in mourning garb in 1885,replica mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch, after his father's death.
"The strong biographical undertones make this a work of great emotional value," the museum said.
It's not clear what will happen to the canvases, but Rger says he hopes they will eventually return to the museum in Amsterdam, after the Italian police investigation ends.

A new pathological system for grading DCIS with improved prediction of local recurrence
A new pathological system for grading DCIS with improved prediction of local recurrence: results from the UKCCCR DCIS trial
S E Pinder1, C Duggan2, I O Ellis3, J Cuzick4,rolex perpetual oyster datejust fake, J F Forbes5, H Bishop6, I S Fentiman7 and W D George8 on behalf of the UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research (UKCCCR) Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) Working PartyReceived 17 February 2010; Revised 30 April 2010; Accepted 5 May 2010Advance online publication 1 June 2010
Top of pageAbstractBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesBackground: There is no consensus agreement regarding optimal management of locally excised ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or features of greatest assistance in predicting disease behaviour. Cases in the UKCCCR DCIS trial have been histologically reviewed to determine the features of prognostic importance.
Method: A total of 72 of 1694 cases entered into the UKCCCR DCIS trial had full pathological review. In addition, we found little difference in ipsilateral recurrence rates between low and intermediate grade groups. Hazard ratios for low, intermediate, high and the new, very high, grade were 0.42, 0.33, 0.62 and 1.00, respectively, for ipsilateral in situ or invasive recurrence.
Mammographic breast screening facilitates the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (Anderson et al, 1991) and the apparent incidence has increased as a result (Baxter et al, 2004). Thus, DCIS comprised 21 of screen detected breast carcinoma in the United Kingdom in 2006 (NHS Breast Screening Programme. Annual Review, 2008). In the early 1990s, three large randomised clinical trials began recruiting with the aim of assessing the safety of breast conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS and the requirement for subsequent radiotherapy (RT) in women having wide local excision (WLE) for DCIS. The NSABP B 17 (Fisher et al, 1998, 1999b) and EORTC 10853 trials (Julien et al, 2000; Bijker et al, 2001, 2006), as well as the UKCCCR DCIS trial (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) recruited patients diagnosed with DCIS in the early 1990s and have already presented results comparing complete surgical excision with and without RT. Two of these trials (Fisher et al, 1999a; UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) also addressed the effect of the addition of tamoxifen to complete local excision in the management of DCIS.
The clinical management of patients with DCIS changed during the 1990s, but, despite the large reduction of local recurrence risk from RT after BCS for DCIS, only 57 of women have RT after BCS in the United Kingdom (Dodwell et al, 2007). There is a widespread belief that not all patients with DCIS require RT. However, the search for features that can assist in this clinical decision making process remains unresolved (Silverstein et al, 1996; Sakorafas and Farley, 2003).
Top of pageMaterials and methodsBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesThe UKCCCR DCIS trial was a 2 2 factorial randomised clinical trial comparing complete WLE alone with WLE plus RT to the residual ipsilateral breast tissue. Two further arms consisted of WLE followed by tamoxifen and WLE plus RT and tamoxifen. The dose of tamoxifen was 20 daily taken for 5 years. Patients receiving RT were given supervoltage treatment with opposed tangential fields that included the breast and the axillary tail,fake datejust rolex. A dose of 50 in 25 fractions over 5 weeks was suggested. No boost was recommended.
Patients had unilateral or bilateral DCIS detected through the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme, which was considered suitable for BCS. The Australian Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group also participated in the trial. Exclusion criteria included a diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ or Paget's disease of the nipple. Patients gave witnessed, written or verbal consent for inclusion, and local ethics approval was obtained in all centres recruiting patients.
After randomisation and treatment, patients were followed up as per local protocol. Dates of relapse (ipsilateral or contralateral), diagnosis of new, non breast malignant disease and death (breast cancer related or not) were recorded.
Histological reviewRepresentative material was sought from the surgical excision. Slides were examined by a single breast pathologist (SEP) and a large number of histological features were recorded in a database (see Table 1). Any cases that on review showed histological features, which were not sufficient for the diagnosis of DCIS, or which showed an invasive focus, were reviewed and the diagnosis confirmed by a second pathologist (IOE). For some of these, criteria had to be specifically defined as, after literature and guideline review, it was found that no globally agreed definitions could be applied. All these features had to be present for classification of pure comedo disease in both the traditional sub type categorisation and for DCIS grade.
The original clinical protocol for the UKCCCR DCIS trial required complete excision of DCIS, but no margin width was defined. Review of completeness of excision and margin width is problematic within the auspices of a central pathology view. However, the evaluation of margin status and distance was determined on a case by case basis, taking into account the original histology report, number and orientation of specimens and the histological review, in which the distance (mm) to the nearest margin was measured on the histological sections received using the Vernier scale of the microscope. For the purposes of the present analysis, a distance of 1 or more from the nearest margin was defined as complete excision. Thus,fake rolex oyster datejust, if DCIS was stated to be 1 or more from the surgical margin (or completely excised) in the original report, and this was confirmed on review, excision was deemed complete. Excision was coded as uncertain, when multiple pieces of unorientated tissue were received by the original pathologist or excision was stated as uncertain in original report (and no subsequent surgical procedure undertaken) or there was a discrepancy between the review and original report that could not be explained taking all features into account.
For determination of size of DCIS, the larger of the measurements of maximal dimension from either the original report or review of histological sections was recorded. If there was DCIS in first and any subsequent re excision, or several pieces of tissue were excised bearing DCIS, the measurements were summed (recognising that this would be an approximation and would generally be an overestimate of total size). In some cases, size could not be assessed on review and was not recorded in the original histology report.
The presence and degree of associated chronic inflammation was recorded. This was typically immediately adjacent to the involved ducts spaces and some cases included nodular aggregates of lymphoid cells, with lymphoid follicle formation. In other cases, this was seen as a complete, targetoid, peri ductal population of lymphoid cells. This was assessed in a semi quantitative manner and scored as absent, mild, moderate or marked.

Here, we present results from the histological review with the same follow up. Between May 1990 and August 1998, 1701 patients were entered into the trial. Seven were excluded because of protocol violations (earlier malignant disease,value of a rolex oyster perpetual datejust fake, treated by mastectomy, known to have invasive carcinoma) (n patients in total in the trial overall).
The number of slides submitted for pathological review varied (range 0 per case), with some laboratories submitting all slides, whereas others sent one representative slide or block (total number of sections 9649, mean 7.6, median 5 slides per case). On review, 33 patients were found to have earlier undiagnosed invasive carcinoma in the sections submitted (usually small and low grade) and were excluded from analysis. Twenty patients were not proven to have DCIS; in these cases, additional material was sought from the originating laboratory and reviewed, but no DCIS was identified in any of the material sent.
Sections were unavailable, or could not be retrieved, from 300 patients; these were not from any particular unit, coordinating centre or trial arm. the section submitted bore insufficient DCIS for a complete assessment). A total of 1224 (72.3 patients had full data from histological review available on DCIS size, histological grade presence and degree of comedo type necrosis, presence and degree of inflammation and excision status and were included in the present analyses (Table 1). Accurate review of the presence or absence of microinvasion was felt to be too error prone for meaningful analysis; some cases had the original sections submitted for review, but from other cases, new sections had been cut and submitted for re evaluation. Nevertheless, only 16 of the 1224 cases in this series had definite microinvasion and a further 42 had microinvasion in the original histology report. This feature was related to size of DCIS lesion, but not, perhaps surprisingly, to the grade of DCIS (data not shown).
Analysis for treatment arms was repeated, using the sub set of cases with full pathological data from this review, to confirm that the results were not significantly different from the whole group analysis presented earlier (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003).
One hundred and fifty four of the 1224 cases reviewed (12.6 developed recurrence of disease either DCIS or invasive carcinoma in the ipsilateral breast. Ninety nine (64 developed recurrent DCIS and 55 invasive disease, comparable with the results in analysis of the overall trial.
Univariate analyses and distribution of features of DCIS are shown in Table 1. The DCIS was found to be of high cytonuclear grade (National Pathology Co ordinating Group, 2005) in 74.6 of cases (n 18.4 were of intermediate grade and only 7.0 of cases (n were of low cytonuclear grade (n Breakdown by Van Nuys grade (Silverstein et al, 1995) showed that in addition to the 913 patients (as above) with high grade disease (74.6 212 had DCIS, which was non high grade but in which necrosis was present (17.3 and 99 patients had non high grade DCIS without necrosis (8.1 Comedo type necrosis, to a greater or lesser extent, was present in all, but 117 cases (90.4 in this series of screen detected DCIS.
All of the systems of grading of DCIS applied showed a significant association with recurrence of ipsilateral DCIS or invasive disease, as did the predominant growth pattern of the disease. Patients with a solid morphology as the main architectural pattern of DCIS had a 15.2 recurrence rate compared with 14.3 of those with micropapillary DCIS and only 7.3 of those with predominantly cribriform DCIS. The presence or absence of comedo type necrosis and the presence of associated chronic inflammation was also associated with increased risk of recurrence of DCIS or progression to invasive cancer in the ipsilateral breast (Table 1).
Intragrade analysis showed that the pure comedo type cases (n 39.5 fared particularly poorly. This novel classification system showed a strong relationship with development of ipsilateral recurrence (Table 2a), both overall and separately for DCIS and invasive disease (Figures 1, 2 and 3). This new classification system, retained significance across the range of sizes of disease (although numbers in the groups are by necessity smaller).
A new pathological system for grading DCIS with improved prediction of local recurrence: results from the UKCCCR DCIS trial

Top of pageAbstractBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesBackground: There is no consensus agreement regarding optimal management of locally excised ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or features of greatest assistance in predicting disease behaviour. Cases in the UKCCCR DCIS trial have been histologically reviewed to determine the features of prognostic importance.
Method: A total of 72 of 1694 cases entered into the UKCCCR DCIS trial had full pathological review. In addition, we found little difference in ipsilateral recurrence rates between low and intermediate grade groups. Hazard ratios for low, intermediate, high and the new, very high, grade were 0.42, 0.33, 0.62 and 1.00, respectively, for ipsilateral in situ or invasive recurrence.
Mammographic breast screening facilitates the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (Anderson et al, 1991) and the apparent incidence has increased as a result (Baxter et al, 2004). Thus, DCIS comprised 21 of screen detected breast carcinoma in the United Kingdom in 2006 (NHS Breast Screening Programme. Annual Review, 2008). In the early 1990s, three large randomised clinical trials began recruiting with the aim of assessing the safety of breast conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS and the requirement for subsequent radiotherapy (RT) in women having wide local excision (WLE) for DCIS. The NSABP B 17 (Fisher et al, 1998, 1999b) and EORTC 10853 trials (Julien et al, 2000; Bijker et al, 2001, 2006), as well as the UKCCCR DCIS trial (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) recruited patients diagnosed with DCIS in the early 1990s and have already presented results comparing complete surgical excision with and without RT. Two of these trials (Fisher et al, 1999a; UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) also addressed the effect of the addition of tamoxifen to complete local excision in the management of DCIS.
The clinical management of patients with DCIS changed during the 1990s, but, despite the large reduction of local recurrence risk from RT after BCS for DCIS, only 57 of women have RT after BCS in the United Kingdom (Dodwell et al, 2007). There is a widespread belief that not all patients with DCIS require RT. However, the search for features that can assist in this clinical decision making process remains unresolved (Silverstein et al, 1996; Sakorafas and Farley, 2003).
Top of pageMaterials and methodsBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesThe UKCCCR DCIS trial was a 2 2 factorial randomised clinical trial comparing complete WLE alone with WLE plus RT to the residual ipsilateral breast tissue. Two further arms consisted of WLE followed by tamoxifen and WLE plus RT and tamoxifen. The dose of tamoxifen was 20 daily taken for 5 years. Patients receiving RT were given supervoltage treatment with opposed tangential fields that included the breast and the axillary tail,fake datejust rolex. A dose of 50 in 25 fractions over 5 weeks was suggested. No boost was recommended.
Patients had unilateral or bilateral DCIS detected through the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme, which was considered suitable for BCS. The Australian Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group also participated in the trial. Exclusion criteria included a diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ or Paget's disease of the nipple. Patients gave witnessed, written or verbal consent for inclusion, and local ethics approval was obtained in all centres recruiting patients.
After randomisation and treatment, patients were followed up as per local protocol. Dates of relapse (ipsilateral or contralateral), diagnosis of new, non breast malignant disease and death (breast cancer related or not) were recorded.
Histological reviewRepresentative material was sought from the surgical excision. Slides were examined by a single breast pathologist (SEP) and a large number of histological features were recorded in a database (see Table 1). Any cases that on review showed histological features, which were not sufficient for the diagnosis of DCIS, or which showed an invasive focus, were reviewed and the diagnosis confirmed by a second pathologist (IOE). For some of these, criteria had to be specifically defined as, after literature and guideline review, it was found that no globally agreed definitions could be applied. All these features had to be present for classification of pure comedo disease in both the traditional sub type categorisation and for DCIS grade.
