Your Best Breasts At Any Age
A decade-by-decade look at the latest news on breast cancer, the ups and downs of a surgical lift, and how to find the perfect bra size
By Beth Howard, with additional reporting by Holly C. Corbett
In the dramedy that constitutes a woman's life, the brain and heart play the starring roles—but breasts surely have a major part. They start turning heads as soon as they make their debut; they nurture babies with milk uniquely suited to an infant's needs. They provide pleasure, bolster body image, and inspire pride and satisfaction. But as you get older, all that front-and-center attention has a downside. Where they once heralded your youth, your breasts may now seem to announce your decline. They can be a source of discomfort—and as you enter the years of higher cancer risk, they probably cause you some worry now and then.
Despite this dramatic shift, you don't hear much about how best to cope with these changes. And except for frequent reminders about getting mammograms, there isn't even much info about how to keep your breasts healthy for the long haul. Here's our solution: an owner's manual for the breast, with a guide to cancer detection and treatment, help with everyday problems, and a no-hype look at how to preserve perk—including surgical options and the kind of lift you can find in a lingerie drawer (if you know what you're looking for). Got breasts? We've got answers.
Breast Pain: What's Normal, What's Not
In the run-up to menopause, your breasts can feel like a battleground--the scene of all manner of lumps, pains, and general aggravations. Thank goodness, most of these breast bothers have nothing to do with cancer. (It is uncommon that pain is the sole symptom of breast cancer.) But don't just feel reassured—feel better. Here's how.
You have: Lumpiness or thickened and tender areas
It may be: Fibrocystic breast changes, a condition that affects so many women (more than 60%, estimates say) that it's considered a version of normal. Researchers don't entirely understand the cause, although they lay blame at least partly on hormones. The thickened, rubbery feeling comes from fibrous tissue—the same sort of tissue in scars. The lumps are due to fluid-filled cysts. Breasts may also feel full and achy and have a clear yellow or greenish discharge.
Rest easy: Fibrocystic breast changes don't increase breast cancer risk. And though the problem typically worsens in the years before menopause, most women find relief as their hormones quiet down.
Try this: Reduce your caffeine consumption—it may exacerbate soreness in up to 50% of women. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen help some women, as do vitamin E (800 IU daily) and possibly the natural remedy evening primrose oil (1,500 to 3,000 mg daily). Research on it is mixed, but primrose oil can't hurt you. If pain is severe, your doctor may prescribe a drug to block the effect of your reproductive hormones.
You have: A single, distinct lump
It may be: A cyst. In 80% of cases, a lump is not due to cancer. Cysts are usually firm and round; they can be smaller than a BB, as big as a grape, or even larger. The cause is unknown, but one trigger may be excess estrogen, such as in women taking hormone therapy, says Debbie Saslow, PhD, director of breast and gynecologic cancers for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Usually no treatment is necessary, as they often disappear after your period—but they can recur with the next cycle.
Try this: Because there's always the possibility of cancer, tell your doctor about any new or dominant lump. NSAIDs may help ease pain. Very rarely is surgery used to remove the cyst.
You have: Thick green or black discharge
It may be: Mammary duct ectasia, which just means that one of your milk ducts has become inflamed and clogged. The cause is unknown, but it might be from factors such as breast changes due to aging that cause a duct blockage; it can even be related to smoking. As many as 25% of women develop the condition during or after menopause. Other signs of the problem: soreness; a lump or thickening; an inverted nipple; or the pain, swelling, and redness of mastitis (breast infection).
Try this: Warm compresses, NSAIDs, and a supportive bra often help. But you should have your doctor take a look. Antibiotics may be necessary—and you may need the duct surgically removed if the problem doesn't get better.
Breast Cancer: Detection And Care By Decade
In Your 20s
Your risk of developing breast cancer in this decade: 1 in 1,760
You should know: "Women in their twenties can get breast cancer, even though it's rare," says Susan Brown, RN, director of health education at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. About 5% of all breast cancer diagnosed in the US each year occur in women under 40. Damage to DNA can lead to cancer, and that damage may be triggered by certain lifestyle and environmental factors, such as obesity and secondhand smoke, as well as genetics. Only an estimated 5 to 10% of breast cancer cases may be linked to inherited genetic mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2. "The most important thing young women can do right now to reduce their risk of breast cancer down the road is to develop healthy lifestyle habits, such as limiting their alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and adding exercise to their routine," says Brown.
Slash your risk: Happy hour with the girls may be a sanity saver, but overdoing it on the cocktails ups your odds of breast cancer later on. In fact, having just two drinks a day boosts your breast cancer risk by 21%, according to a meta-analysis of more than 40 studies. Even a modest three to 14 drinks a week could raise your breast cancer risk. If you want to imbibe, limit yourself to one drink or less a day.
If you happen to have children in your 20s, research finds that breastfeeding may help protect you from breast cancer later in life. "A possible protective effect might be because breast ducts seem to mature further when you breastfeed in your twenties, compared with later in life, when your breasts have already undergone age-related changes that sometimes lead to cancerous gene mutations," says Kala Visvanathan, MD, associate professor and co-director of the Breast and Ovarian Surveillance Service at John Hopkins.
Your risk of developing breast cancer in this decade: 1 in 229
You should know: It's especially important in your 30s to be aware of any risk factors you may have—such as a family history of breast cancer, age of your first period, and obesity—so that you can decide with your doctor early on how aggressive your screening strategies should be. "If you think you might be at high risk for breast cancer, it's a good idea to visit a high-risk cancer clinic for a risk assessment as well as a prevention and screening plan," says Dr. Visvanathan. Most comprehensive cancer clinics offer risk assessments, such as the Breast and Ovarian Surveillance Service and Genetic Testing at Johns Hopkins.
Slash your risk: You no doubt know how important it is to stay at a healthy weight when it comes to warding off diabetes and heart disease, but keeping slim is also key for reducing your risk of breast cancer. One study found that women who gained 55 pounds or more after age 18 had an almost 50% higher risk of breast cancer, compared with those who maintained their weight. Working out regularly, as well as the number on the scale, has also been linked to a lower risk of breast cancer. Research suggests you should aim for 45 to 60 minutes of vigorous exercise (such as jogging or aerobics) 5 or more days a week.
Your risk of developing breast cancer in this decade: 1 in 69
You should know: Many experts agree that women should have yearly mammogram screenings starting at age 40, though some, such as the US Preventive Task Force, advocate for age 50 (for a breakdown of the differing recommendations, read Mammograms: Who Needs Them?). A Swedish study of more than 1 million women in their 40s revealed those who got mammogram screenings had a 29% less chance of dying from breast cancer than those who didn't. Alas, only 62% of 40-somethings show up for regular screenings, according to the ACS. If cancer is found, be prepared for intensive treatment. Cancer in these years tends to be more aggressive and less likely to respond to estrogen-blocking therapies such as tamoxifen. But younger women typically can tolerate more treatment side effects, so you can get larger, more effective doses of chemo drugs, says Gabriel Hortobagyi, MD, chairman of the breast medical oncology department at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. "On average, chemo in women younger than fifty reduces recurrence rates by as much as 55%, compared with 20 to 30% in older women," Hortobagyi says.
Slash your risk: Ask for a digital mammogram, which does a better job for younger women, who tend to have denser breasts. In a large, multicenter study, digital scans found 15% more cancers than standard mammograms in women under age 50. Another new development that recently received FDA approval is the digital tomosynthesis, which offers a three-dimensional picture of the breast by combining multiple, thinly sliced digital x-ray images.
You should know: Breast cancer rates have been declining among women 50 and older since 2001, in large part because of the drop in the use of hormone therapy, says Dr. Saslow.
Slash Your Risk: Don't forget your mammogram. Even with the drop in incidence, your risk of developing cancer remains higher than for younger women—yet mammography rates in this age group have fallen 7% since 2000. Early detection pays off: Breast cancer that develops in a woman's 50s is more likely to be estrogen receptor positive, so there are more drugs available to treat it.
"Many women don't know there are pills available that you can take every day for five years to help reduce your risk breast cancer," says Dr. Visvanathan. "Yes, there are uncommon side effects, such as blood clots or joint pain, but they might be worth it if you're at high risk."
Raloxifene, already approved for preventing and treating osteoporosis, was okayed for postmenopausal women at high risk of breast cancer. Like tamoxifen, the first effective preventive for the disease, it also bolsters bones. Most recently, a third drug has been added to the preventative pill list for postmenopausal women: the aromatase inhibitor known as exemestane, which also works by lowering estrogen levels to help slow the growth of cancers. It's still undergoing FDA approval, but studies show it may cut breast cancer risk by 65% compared to women taking a placebo pill.
You should know: Though your risk is increasing, so is the power of one major weapon in your arsenal: Mammograms may be more effective now, because your breasts likely contain a greater proportion of fat than in younger days. (Fat typically appears as black on x-rays, while everything else—including cancer—appears as shades of white.) According to an analysis from the Mayo Clinic, the breasts of women over age 60 are about half as dense as in the years before menopause. Cancer may be more common, but it progresses less quickly. It takes 2.1 years for tumors to double in size among women in their 60s, compared with 1.4 years for women in their 50s.
Slash your risk: Learn about cancer preventives. (Age is a woman's biggest risk factor.) Risk-lowering drugs raloxifene and tamoxifen are FDA approved for use as preventative treatments for breast cancer. Risk of experiencing side effects may increase with age, so be sure to discuss with your doctor.
You should know: Although researchers say that practitioners are more likely to skip mammograms in their elderly patients, the screening can still save lives, according to data from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "As long as a woman is generally healthy," says breast surgeon Laura L. Morris, MD, medical director for the Women's Health Center at Indiana University Health Goshen Hospital, "mammograms can benefit a woman in her eighties and even beyond that."
Slash your risk: Don't settle for treatment "lite." Doctors used to be less likely to offer older breast cancer patients all the therapies recommended by the National Institutes of Health. Age increases the odds of other health conditions such as heart disease, which can make some treatments risky—but even if an elderly patient is healthy, her doctor may assume she isn't up for a punishing regimen. Fortunately, such bias is diminishing as doctors gain experience with treating older patients, says Richard J. Bleicher, MD, a breast surgeon at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. If you're concerned, he suggests, ask if the treatments you're offered are the standard of care.
A life well lived leaves traces on your body: laugh lines, crow's feet, and, yes, breasts that aren't as firm as they used to be. One perfectly good reaction: shrugging at the changes—especially if the shrugging is done in the right bra. But for some women, that gesture doesn't have the desired oomph. More than 469,375 women got gravity-defying help from a scalpel in 2010, spurred on by improved surgical techniques and the return of the silicone implant. Here, Prevention investigates the benefits and downsides of nips, tucks, and more.
The rate of lift surgery has surged by 70% since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), with over 90,000 procedures in 2013.
How it works: By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, surgeons can raise and reshape the breasts. A newer technique called the vertical lift leaves a smaller scar that can be neatly camouflaged by the nipple's areola—although many factors determine whether this less conspicuous approach or the older anchor lift is right for you.
Downside: The procedure can't replace lost volume, so if breast deflation is a big issue for you in addition to sag, a lift may not be adequate.
The number of women getting breast implants increased by 39% between 2000 and 2010; in 2013, 290,224 women got the procedure, according to the ASPS. The majority of those women were in their 30s.
"There's a bit of a disconnect between the media and reality in terms of the average age of women getting implants," says David B. Sarwer, PhD, professor of psychology and consultant for the Center for Human Appearance at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "The media often portrays women with implants as single twenty-somethings, when in reality most women who get breast augmentations are in their thirties or even forties and want to restore their breasts' appearance after having kids." If you're considering implants, Sarwer recommends asking yourself these three questions to decide if the procedure might be right for you.
1. Are my concerns about my breasts well understood by other people? "If a woman talks about wanting implants and gets feedback from others that her breasts are fine and she doesn't need surgery, she may have an unhealthy preoccupation with her breast size or shape," says Sarwer.
2. Am I doing it for myself? Your motivation to get implants should be internal, and not because a partner or friend or anyone else wants you to do it.
3. Do I have realistic expectations? "While getting implants may make you feel better about your body, don't expect them to save your marriage or get you a promotion," says Sarwer. "The changes may be subtle—and if they're noticeable, know that they won't change how other people react to you."
How it works: Adding implants during a breast lift helps with sag and loss of volume. A study from Washington University School of Medicine found that 95% of women felt better about themselves after the surgery. Silicone implants look and feel more natural than saline, but in 1992, they were pulled off the market for use in cosmetic procedures because of concerns they might raise the risk of scleroderma or other disorders. In 2006, after several large National Cancer Institute studies, silicone made a comeback--now constructed with a thicker material that's more gel-like. In fact, 60% of implants used in 2010 were silicone. "Breast implants have been studied more extensively than any other medical device," says Donna-Bea Tillman, PhD, former director of the Office of Device Evaluation at the FDA. "And our experts concluded that they're safe and effective."
Downside: The risk of a rupture (such as a tear or leak) in both saline or silicone implants goes up as time passes—though the silent rupture rate with the latest silicone implants has yet to be determined. To make sure ruptured implants are detected and removed, women should get an MRI 3 years after surgery and then again every 2 years (in addition to their mammogram). All told, most women need to replace or remove an implant within 15 to 20 years, according to the ASPS. Implants can also make mammograms harder to read and call for additional views, though technologists who perform the exam make adjustments. Fortunately, there's no sign that the murky mammograms affect mortality. "Women with augmentation may be more breast aware and seek medical care more quickly," suggests Diana L. Miglioretti, PhD, a senior investigator with Group Health Research Institute.
The number of women opting for breast reductions in 2013 dropped 2% from the year before, with a total of 41,146 getting the procedure, according to the ASPS. More than half of reduction surgeries were in 40-plus women. Small wonder: By that age, the health effects of large breasts—chafed skin, back and neck pain, and grooves in the shoulders from ill-fitting bras—are mounting. "The weight of large breasts and the transfer of that weight by an ill-fitting bra to the neck and upper back can cause pain, postural problems, and even tension headaches," says Phillip Haeck, MD, past president of the ASPS. In one study, discomfort was vanquished or greatly reduced 1 year after surgery for 88% of patients. "Women invariably say they wish they'd had it sooner," Haeck says. Benefits go beyond comfort. Breast exams and mammograms are often easier to perform and more effective after surgery. And some research suggests it can even reduce the risk of breast cancer, especially in those over age 50.
Bonus: Because of the health problems that can result from uncomfortably large breasts, insurance often picks up the tab.
Downside: The surgery can cause a loss of nipple sensation, and, in some cases, can result in asymmetry of the breasts.
Bras: How To Find The Perfect Fit
Before you consider anything radical (like surgery) to correct sagging and other breast issues that come with age, explore a solution that's affordable, risk free, and effective: a bra that will lift you up.
It may sound overly simple, but a whopping 85% of women wear the wrong bra size. "You wouldn't build a house on a shaky foundation, and it's important to follow that rule with your wardrobe," says Marcia Cubitt, president of Essential Bodywear, a company devoted to helping women find their best-fitting bra by sending professionals to fit you in the comfort of your own home. Here is how finding the right bra fit does your body good.
1. You'll get a style boost. From a style perspective, it's what you wear underneath your clothes that's most important, because whatever you put on afterward will fit better.
2. It helps your health. The right bra helps lift and support your breasts. "A proper-fitting bra can also improve your posture and take pressure off your back because it gives you a lift to support breast tissue while helping your confidence," says Cubitt. Also, large breasts can trigger pain in your back and shoulders, making it even more essential to have adequate support.
3. You'll look thinner. "As we age, breasts tend to go down south," says Cubitt. "This sagging leads to breasts falling at what is typically the narrowest part of a woman's body: her upper waist." When you lift your breasts with a bra that fits properly, it takes the weight off this narrow area, so you instantly look 10 pounds lighter without dieting or surgery.
The key to finding a proper bra is to have a professional fitting. "It's important to have someone size you because it's impossible to get accurate measurements around your rib cage when attempting to measure yourself, " says Cubitt. Check out her top tips for finding the perfect bra fit:
Go for a snug band. Most of the support comes from the band (a snug band also causes fewer unsightly ridges in back), so be sure it sits straight across your rib cage and doesn't ride up. "The first sign of a bra being too big or too old is a band that won't stay in place," says Cubitt. With proper care, most bras have a shelf life of about a year, and they don't offer proper lift and support after they've worn out.
Material matters. Look for bras made with a bit of Lycra or spandex so that the material has some give while still retaining its shape. When washing, don't put your bra in the dryer—heat breaks down the materials, so your bra won't last as long.
Don't let your cup runneth over. Going for a too-small cup size will give you what Cubitt calls "breast bubbles," or bulges above your cup. "Most women have one breast that is larger than the other, so you should fit your bra for the larger breast," she says. This way your breast is contained but not bulging, and you'll look symmetrical in your clothes.
Take note of your nipples. The best way to tell if you're getting sufficient lift is to note where your nipple falls when you're wearing your bra: Your nipple should be halfway between your shoulder and elbow. "Most women's nipples actually fall much lower than that, even when they're wearing a bra," says Cubitt.

A coyote finds Portland, Oregon a perfectly good habitat.
Several times this spring, coyotes made national headlines when spotted roaming the streets of New York, from Manhattan to Queens.
In recent years, a host of charismatic wild species, the coyote being only the most famous, have returned to American cities in numbers not seen for generations. Yet the official response in many areas has been, at best, disorganized, and people's responses varied. The time has come for us to accept that these animals are here to stay, and develop a new approach to urban wildlife.
Most big American cities occupy sites that were once rich ecosystems. New York and Boston overlook dynamic river mouths. San Francisco and Seattle border vast estuaries, while large parts of Chicago, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. rest atop former wetlands. Even Las Vegas sprawls across a rare desert valley with reliable sources of life-giving fresh water, supplied by artesian aquifers the nearby Spring Mountains. All of these places once attracted diverse and abundant wildlife.
In the early days of urban growth, which for most American cities was in the 18th or 19th centuries, charismatic native species were still common in many increasingly populated areas. These creatures disappeared due to numerous causes, from overhunting to pollution.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the country's metropolitan fauna had been reduced to a motley collection of exotic rodents and birds, packs of mangy dogs, and the urban environment's most fearsome apex predator, the house cat, which terrorized any remaining native songbirds.
Return of big animals
It is impossible to point to a precise date when wildlife began to return to American cities, but the release of Walt Disney's Bambi, in 1942, is a good place to start.
For Bambi, people were careless arsonists and bloodthirsty predators who forced woodland creatures "deep into the forest." Ironically, however, the film's success helped pave the way for deer populations to explode in developed areas.
Bambi in 1942: People brought nothing good to the forest.
After World War II, in part due to changing attitudes toward wild animals, hunting declined as an American pastime. At the same time, suburbs spread into the countryside. Deer, which had nearly disappeared in several northeastern and mid-Atlantic states, multiplied on golf courses, ball fields and front yards.
Beginning in the 1960s, new laws sought to recover threatened species, and many states curtailed predator control programs. New nature reserves also provided spaces where wildlife populations could recover, and from which they could disperse into nearby cities.
The results were swift and unmistakable. Foxes, skunks, raccoons and possums became ubiquitous American urbanites. So did many raptors, such as peregrine falcons, which thrilled geeky birders and corner office CEOs alike with their aerial acrobatics and fondness for nesting on skyscrapers.

By the 1990s, larger mammals began to appear in the shadows. Coyotes, bobcats and black bears turned up miles from the nearest woodlot, and mountain lions prowled the urban fringe.
And there is more. Alligators bounced back from near extinction to populate creeks and ponds from Miami to Memphis. Aquatic mammals such as beavers and sea lions staged remarkable comebacks, including in urban waters. Fishers, members of the weasel family once regarded as reclusive denizens of northern forests, found homes from cushy Philadelphia suburbs to the mean streets of New York. In the Southern California city where I live, the newest addition to our urban menagerie is a small population of badgers.
How long will it be until wolves show up in the Denver suburbs?
New animals, new policies
Human residents of these cities tend to react in one of two ways — with surprise or fear — to reports of such charismatic wildlife in their midst. There are historical reasons for both responses, but neither makes much sense today.
People react with surprise because most still cling to the old belief that wild animals need wild areas. What these animals actually need is habitat. A suitable habitat does not have to be a remote wilderness or protected sanctuary; it must only have sufficient resources to attract and support a population. For a growing cadre of wild species, American cities provide a wealth of such resources.

People react with fear because they have been led to believe that any wild animal bigger than breadbox must be dangerous. Wild animals certainly deserve our respect. A little caution can help people avoid unpleasant encounters, and extra vigilance is a good idea whenever pets or children are involved. Large wild animals can carry diseases, but proper management can reduce the risks. And predators can help control diseases by consuming rodent and insect pests.
Despite their reputations, large wild animals are just not very dangerous. By far the most dangerous animals in North America, as measured in human fatalities, are bees, wasps and hornets. Next are dogs — man's best friend — followed by spiders, snakes, scorpions, centipedes and rats. The most dangerous animal, globally and throughout human history, is undoubtedly the mosquito. Coyotes are nowhere on the list.

Nevertheless, officials have responded to coyote sightings in New York and other cities by rounding them up and moving them to more "appropriate" habitats. Usually, these efforts end with little trouble. But in at least one recent Manhattan case, the critter in question escaped after a chaotic and expensive three-hour pursuit that embarrassed the authorities and revealed the ad hoc nature of our policies.
This is an uncoordinated, unaffordable, unscientific, and unsustainable form of wildlife management.
A 21st-century approach to urban wildlife must include four elements:
research is crucial for any management effort, but it is especially urgent in this case because wildlife scientists, who have long preferred to work in more pristine areas, know so little about urban ecosystems
educational programs can help dispel myths and foster public support
infrastructure upgrades — such as street signs, wildlife resistant trash bins, and nonreflective treatments that make glass windows more visible to birds — can help prevent unwanted human-wildlife encounters while protecting animals from injury and disease
finally, clear policies, including rules of engagement and better coordination among the various agencies responsible for urban wildlife, are crucial for both long-range planning and responding to rare but genuine emergencies.
All of these measures are essential if America's increasingly urban human population is to live in peace with its increasingly urban wildlife.

TEAM VICTORIES
GRAHAM TRUCKING
U-12 Driver
Michael Kelly signed a multi-year agreement as the primary driver in March 2015, ensuring the team of his services for the foreseeable future.
Kelly (also known as JMK) won the first of five Oryx Cup World Championships in November 2009, claiming the inaugural Doha, Qatar race with the 7 Graham Trucking and backing it up with the 2014 title as well.
Kelly drove for Graham Trucking Team as the pilot of the 7 Graham Trucking in 2009-10, when he finished on the podium eight times in 12 races – one first, five seconds, and two-thirds. His first career win in the unlimited class was the 2009 Oryx Cup UIM World Championship victory, starting Porter's dominance at the Oryx Cup. Kelly has been a fixture among the top drivers in the sport since breaking into the unlimited ranks.
The 2017 season is Kelly's 30th season of boat racing. During his career, he has set 23 world records in various classes, six of which are still current, and is a three-time American Power Boat Association Hall of Champions inductee (2003, 2004, and 2010). Kelly also has a total of eight national championships, 15 high point's championships, and 25 APBA divisional titles. In 2009, Kelly won the New Zealand Des Geddes Memorial Grand Prix Hydro event. He also became the first person in APBA history to win four championships in a single Nationals, at the 2010 event.
The 2004 Unlimited class Rookie of the Year, Kelly was also the winner of the Babcock Award in 2003 and 2004.
JMK placed second in the 2015 National High Point Championship with four podium finishes and notching his second consecutive Seafair crown, taking the 2015 win from Jimmy Shane after an amazing five lap battle that was easily one of the best in H1 Unlimited history. He also won the 2015 Madison Regatta Exhibition Shootout. He won the coveted Gold Cup in Detroit, Michigan in August of 2016.
Kelly and his wife Angela have three sons, Brennan, Carson, and newborn Asher. They live in Bonney Lake, Wash.

49ers Announce Release of Safety Michael Lewis
By James Brady@jamesbradyisme Oct 4, 2010, 3:58pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: 49ers Announce Release of Safety Michael Lewis
Well, there you go, folks. It's official, as per the 49ers themselves. Michael Lewis has been released from the team. I think we all knew that he was gone one way or the other, sucks that we couldn't get a pick for him, but I doubt the team tried all that hard to shop him considering the fact that nobody would give anything up for a guy of moderate skill who was guaranteed to be released regardless.
The quote from Mike Singletary from the 49ers official Twitter: "I want to thank Michael for his hard work and leadership as a 49er." I hate to be the one to say "good riddance," but I'm just upset with the way things went down. He threw the entire organization under the bus to make himself seem better than he is. Oh well, I'm coming just short of saying "Lewis who?" after the performance from Taylor Mays yesterday. I mean, have we ever even seen Michael Lewis jump? Can he jump, at all?

Biden shares embarrassing government shutdown tale in Oval Office meeting with Trump
For a president heading toward likely impeachment and a Russian election interference probe, yesterday was a down day at the polls. The president needed an excuse. He needed a way out of the political firestorm, and Scant Information about Omicron is as good as any.
With no breakthroughs on government funding or a border wall on Friday, there were now just six business days left before the government shuts down for the first time in 17 years.
And after meeting in the Oval Office with Trump, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Biden then shared a briefing about cybersecurity with Trump in the Oval Office, according to a release from his office.
"We saw the president tonight and he is definitely isolated," one person briefed on the meeting said.
But while the meeting seemed to give Biden and Trump some hours to fake a crisis, the group realized there was not much they could do. Back up the federal government, but without actually giving the administration any specifics.
Biden, of course, was not alone on the call with the president. Fellow House Democrats, McCarthy, Hoyer, Hoyer, Hoyer, Pelosi, and Pelosi's Chief of Staff Drew Hammill were all on the call. Biden shared the call publicly.
Biden was not specific either. "They made an administrative decision that caused us to essentially be staring down the barrel of our first shutdown in 17 years," Biden told reporters after speaking with the president in the Oval Office.
The decision was being led, of course, by the president. He announced on Thursday the Executive Order he wanted to put in place that would "improve transparency and accountability of the intelligence process."
Which, for Democrats, made that a terrible idea, as outlined in a statement from Speaker Pelosi after speaking with Trump:
"Unfortunately, the President has now ordered agencies to avoid leaking sensitive intelligence," Pelosi said. "A deliberate strategy, particularly since this Executive Order is riddled with misleading provisions, undermines transparency and ends any ability to independently verify the accuracy of foreign intelligence and non-classified intelligence reports. It also frustrates Congressional oversight, as agencies will feel no obligation to share intelligence that threatens national security."
The worst plan, however, may be the one Biden and the others decided not to discuss. It's a plan to convince the White House to negotiate with a unilateral executive order.
So it's the latest in the administration's obsession with giving the appearance of cooperation, while at the same time, strengthening their hand as negotiating partners with Democrats.
It was a short-term use of a crisis, but perhaps one worth seizing. Although as other events move closer to the brink, the pressure on each side is only increasing.
