People are being urged to dust off their coffee cups, get creative in the kitchen and hold an afternoon tea party to help raise 70,000 for breast cancer treatment, care and research at Addenbrooke's.

This year, Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT), the dedicated charity for Addenbrooke's and the Rosie, is relaunching its appeal to beat breast cancer and is hoping to raise 70,000 for a new ultrasound scanner and vital research into breast medicine at the Cambridge Breast Unit at Addenbrooke's.

Now in its fourth year, the Addenbrooke's Breast Cancer Appeal - formerly the Pink Rose Appeal- is encouraging people to get together with family, friends, work colleagues or fellow students to hold an afternoon tea party on Friday, October 24 to help raise money to benefit local breast cancer patients.

Anyone can host an afternoon tea party at places including their work, home, club, pub, school, church, hotel or village hall.

Alison Saunders, 46, of Saffron Walden, a former Addenbrooke's Breast Cancer Patient, said: "I felt so proud for getting through my breast cancer treatment. The staff at Addenbrooke's are amazing, but the additional support from fundraising can really make all the difference."

The charity is encouraging people to get creative with their fundraising which could include holding a themed tea party, cake or cookie decorating, arranging a bake-off competition, organising a cake sale or selling cakes in a raffle.

Michelle Gray, head of community fundraising at ACT, said: "We invite everyone to get involved in the Addenbrooke's Breast Cancer Appeal. It's so easy to take part.

"If you're unable to hold an afternoon tea party, then you could attend our cupcake-making event at the Cambridge Cookery School, or even buy your very own stylish appeal bracelet or pin badge.

"Every extra penny raised for the Addenbrooke's Breast Cancer Appeal is so important helping to improve care and treatment for local breast cancer patients now and in the future."

WASHINGTON (AP) - The primary season just ended and the general election campaign now unfolding looks the same to Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, tea party favorite, foe of immigration legislation and the only Republican senator running in 2014 without a ballot opponent of any stripe.

"Jeff Sessions is probably held in higher esteem than the Alabama football coach and the Auburn football coach put together," says Rep. Mo Brooks, a tea party-backed congressman from the football-mad state.

Sessions has no shortage of detractors, and his good political fortune is a blend of luck and design. It's also one he declines to analyze in any depth as he waits to see if Republicans win a majority this fall and he becomes head of the Senate Budget Committee and leader of an attack on federal deficits.

If so, he said in a recent interview, he will produce a Republican consensus document that balances the budget at least by the end of its 10-year time frame, rather than his own, possibly more conservative, personal blueprint.

Sessions' lack of opposition this fall in a state with a heavy African-American presence stems from a Democratic party weakness so pervasive that it holds none of the statewide offices, only one seat in the nine-member congressional delegation and a minority in both houses of the legislature.

His free ride in the primary was different, though. It resulted from a courtship of the tea party that allowed him to escape the type of primary challenge that dogged GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, bedeviled Sen. Pat Roberts in Kansas and nearly toppled Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi.

"I believe the tea party is right on every major issue," Sessions said in an interview. "I say that. They know I believe that ... Taxing more, regulating more, blocking American energy more, bigger government and more welfare is not going to make America a better nation."

Since he ran six autumns ago, Sessions has voted against the federal bailout that President George W. Bush said was needed to prevent an economic collapse, as well as President Barack Obama's economic stimulus and health care law. He opposed numerous increases in the debt limit and a major bill to re-regulate Wall Street after the worst crash in decades. He also aided Sen. Ted Cruz' 2013 overnight filibuster aimed at dramatizing opposition to continued federal funding of the health care law, one of the political highlights of a tea party-backed partial government shutdown.

Sessions says his voting record is designed to represent those in his low-income state who feel ignored by government, rather than to protect big economic entities. Alabama had the ninth-lowest median family income among states in the most recent Census Bureau report on the subject, $43,464 for 2012.
