The disappearance of the artfully cursed gasoline auxiliary engine and the end of the era of the pressurized alcohol galley stove have improved the chances for avoiding a fire on board a sailboat. But at the same time, the addition of massive DC-power systems, propane stoves, and fuel tankage equivalent to that of a motorboat has upped the ante when it comes to a galley flare-up or an electrical short-instigated fire getting out of control. Small fires can become all-consuming conflagrations in an alarmingly short period of time. The science says it all: A fast-growing fire doubles in size every 30 seconds.
The best risk management is based upon reason, and it's why every skipper needs to consider the prospect of fire breaking out on his vessel and how those on board should respond. These what-ifs that arise from such introspection will lead to more data gathering and a plan of action that needs to be shared with the crew. Statistics show that though fires infrequently occur on cruising sailboats, their effect can be devastating. The U.S. Coast Guard and the American Boat & Yacht Council wisely see the threat as very real, and they've put out regulations and recommendations that spell out both how certain systems should be installed and what firefighting equipment is mandatory.
Heat, fuel, and oxygen are the rudiments of combustion; if any one of these is removed, the blaze is extinguished. As with all elegantly simple explanations, this information is often ignored until it's too late. For example, a small two-pound dry chemical fire extinguisher in either the hands of an expert or an amateur about to succumb to the fight-or-flight reflex has only about eight to 12 seconds of firefighting potential once the trigger lever is depressed. In the heat of the moment, many an untrained amateur has expended the vaporized dust on the flames leaping high from the burning surface rather than spreading the extinguisher's limited contents on the base of the flames, where it will have the best results. The latter approach smothers the fire by creating a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen.
Understanding the Equipment
Fires are broken up into three classes based upon their combustion profile. Wood, paper, and other natural and synthetic fiber fires that leave an ash residue are typed as a Class A, and are best extinguished by lowering their temperature via flooding with water or aqueous foam. That's also good reason to consider a high-pressure, high-volume water system with a sink hose and spray head or a second in-cabin tap and hose linked to a powerful deck wash-down pump to be firefighting allies.
Meanwhile, fire extinguishers may be your first line of defense for Class B and Class C fires, but an extinguisher's operational time is short, and even a few well-placed buckets of water may save the day once the eight- to 12-second operational lifespan of a dry-chemical extinguisher is over.
Flammable liquid fires (Class B), typified by gasoline, diesel, or alcohol, are best tackled by smothering the flames with a fire blanket or oxygen-blocking extinguisher agent. Dry chemical, foam, CO2, Halotron, and other non-toxic Halon replacements all do the job. All dry chemical extinguishers should be removed from their bracket and inverted every month or so in order to keep the contents from solidifying. Also worth a mention is the inferior nature of most flimsy, mild-steel brackets that come with extinguishers. Spending some time or money on improving how these vital safety tools are housed is worth the expenditure. In addition to the extinguisher near the galley stove, reachable even if the appliance is ablaze, there should be an extinguisher in a cockpit locker and one near the skipper's berth.
The table "Extinguishers and Their Uses" (see below) describes the types of extinguishers available. Built-in systems, such as those offered by Fireboy, can flood the engine room with an oxygen-blocking gas that can stop a blazing fuel fire in its tracks. But those who install such systems need to keep in mind that what kills a fire can also impact human respiration. Some years ago a friend of mine accidentally engaged a fixed, CO2 fire-suppression system while he was in the engine room of his boat; the gas quickly rendered him unconscious, and his wife, responding to his plight, succumbed to the same asphyxiation. Both died in the mishap.
This tragedy underscores the need to realize that limiting oxygen to quell a fire is tricky business. On one hand the rule of fire fighting is to close hatches and ports in order to lessen the air inflow. But the crew also must recognize how dangerous oxygen depletion, acrid smoke, and toxic fumes in a closed up boat can quickly become a lethal atmosphere. Compressed liquid extinguishers that emit a gaseous cloud in a confined space such as an engine compartment vary in toxicity according to their suppression agent. Some systems use FE-241 that's meant for dispersal in an unoccupied space, while others use HFC-227ea, a gas that's safe if occupants are still in the cabin fighting a spreading fire.

July 31, 2014
First-year defensive coordinator John Papuchis says one of Nebraska's top priorities is to shore up a line that has been underperforming.
Opponents last season rushed for the second-most yards against the Cornhuskers since 1977, and Nebraska recorded its second-fewest sacks since the statistic was first officially tracked in 1981.
Ends Cameron Meredith and Jason Ankrah and tackle Baker Steinkuhler have locked up three of the four starting jobs. With those three starting nine games together last season, Nebraska allowed an average of 158 yards on the ground to rank 64th nationally. That number ballooned to 176 yards against Big Ten opponents. Only 11 of the Huskers' 21 sacks came in the eight conference games.
Meredith said new line coach Rick Kaczenski is stressing the importance of playing aggressively.

Peabody-Burns boys' depth, height fuel team potential
"Unruh is probably our best defender right now," O'Neal said. "He's one of the hardest workers in practice we've got, day in and day out."
Loucks is set to have a strong season—and the Warriors will make the most of his contributions in the low post.
"Andrew Loucks needs to be able to give us a lot of minutes in the post and stay out of foul trouble," O'Neal said. "He should have a good season for us."
Nathan Bishop, a 6-0 senior guard, brings athleticism to both ends of the floor, having averaged 6.7 points and three steals per game a season ago.
"Nathan Bishop has the potential to be really good this year," O'Neal said.
Adam Benson, the team's "most inspirational player" in O'Neal's view, is a 6-1 senior forward.
Trevor Hamm will play at forward. The 6-0 senior averaged just under 7 points per game in addition to an effective 2006-07 on the glass.
"Hamm is a good leader with a good work ethic," O'Neal said.
The team's sixth senior is foreign exchange student Alex Bengston.
"How much he plays will depend on how fast he develops," O'Neal said.
PBHS will also have a pair of non-seniors in its rotation: 6-4 junior Jake Middleton will see time at forward, while 6-1 sophomore Jacob Simmonds will spell Unruh at point guard.
"Jake Middleton is more of a forward than a post even though he's 6-4," O'Neal said. "He's a really good outside shooter."
Simmonds has a knack for dialing up defensive pressure, a quality the Warriors value very highly this year.
Brian Wingert and Aaron Topham will also contribute to the varsity this year.
"Our defense needs to be the strongest part of our team—if we play defense as a team rather than individuals, that will make offense easier for us," O'Neal said. "Patience on offense and playing defense as a team are the parts of the game we'll have to work hardest at."
The present edition of the Warriors has "a lot of potential," O'Neal said. "It's a matter of whether or not they'll reach that potential as a team."
The group is close-knit and has, as a whole, faced few attitude problems.
"With the exception of Loucks, our seniors have played together significant minutes since their eighth grade year," O'Neal said.
Still, although familiarity and continuity are points in their favor, wins may not come easily.
"Individually, we have very good athletes," O'Neal said. "We simply have to come together.
"The potential for them to do well as a team is there—and we simply haven't gotten to the point of playing up to that potential as a team," he noted.
"If we get there this season, it'll be a lot of fun."
Peabody-Burns opens at at Inman, and faces a tough schedule, especially before the new year.
"You like to say that it's good to play tough teams early in the season, to have your weaknesses exposed before the Christmas break, so you know exactly what you need to work on," O'Neal said.
"I don't think there will be an easy game out of any of them. If you're not playing well, they'll beat you."

Five years into this journey now, I've lost my hair three times now. My very first appointment with my oncologist was on a Thursday and the following Monday I had my first chemo treatment, so I didn't have much time to adjust to the big changes suddenly thrust upon me. Hair loss, I was told, could be expected to begin three weeks afterward, and it did happen nearly to the day.
The extent of hair loss will vary depending on the type of medicine you are receiving, but my experience has been complete baldness each time. My oncology nurses told me that I would only have "some thinning," but it never worked out that way for me. Perhaps they were trying not to scare me, I don't know for sure, but I was never terribly traumatized about it—it was only hair and would later grow back. Besides, I had bigger fish to fry.
My hair before had been fairly straight, but very thick. The photo I have on my profile (not the plastic wig above!) was actually taken a couple years prior to my cancer, but I chose it because it was one of my favorite styles and how I wish it still looked. As it started coming out in the shower, I piled the fistfuls in the corner and filled nearly half the wastebasket. This happened several times, and I still had a good amount left on my head. I was picking up hair off my pillow each morning, off my clothes, the backs of chairs, everywhere. I finally had enough and decided it was time to take the leap and just shave off what was left.
I offered the job to my husband, John, but he wanted no part of it. My youngest son, Matt (about 18 at the time), agreed to do it and we headed into the bathroom with the hair clippers. I told him to just have fun with it, and we both really did. I think he decided to get revenge for the horrible home haircuts I'd done to him and his brother when they were little. First he buzzed it into the shape of one of my sugar-bowl cuts (circa 1990), then he used the edge of the clippers to spell out words on my head, and lastly he graduated to a mohawk. The two of us were hopelessly lost in laughter. My older son Kyle even stuck his head in the door to see exactly what was so funny, but John didn't share our humor and stayed away. I really wasn't upset about being bald and hoped that my positive attitude would help my guys be okay with it too.
Once the hair was gone, I was determined to take advantage of a new fashion opportunity! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! I explored all the options—several different wigs, various hat styles, and tried to learn how to creatively tie scarves around my head (although I never really mastered that one). I found wigs to be too uncomfortable and itchy to wear for very long and eventually just wore them for church or special occasions. Hats became my favorite, but I was very self-conscious about completely covering my baldness. I didn't want people to notice the bald gap in the back of my baseball cap or the fact that I didn't have a hairline near my ears. When I went out in public, I felt like people might notice I was different and wonder about what's wrong with me.
If you are new to this and looking for head covering options, there are plenty of places to be found on the internet that specialize in items for chemo patients. They even have instructions for tying scarves and mini hairpieces to tuck under the edges. One of the best is through the American Cancer Society at: TLC Hair Loss Products for Women. You can probably pick up a copy of their catalog at your oncologist's office, too. If you're shopping for a new wig, have fun with it and try a different style or color you may not have been brave enough to make the commitment to with your natural hair. But, I would recommend that you go to a store with a large variety so you can try them on before spending the money—you may be surprised by what actually looks good on you and what doesn't. Also, check with your health insurance to see if you qualify for reimbursement before spending $300 on that fabulous wig as that may affect your decision.
After chemo, you can expect your hair to grow back different than it was before. Although my color has always been the same (white—without the help of L'Oreal!), it has gotten curlier each time. The first time it grew back, I tried every kind of conditioner or straightener to get it back to the way it was, but nothing made it look the same. I've since decided to just work with the new curly locks!
The second time I went through chemo and lost my hair, I let Kyle shave my head. I don't recall it being quite as much fun as none of us had expected to be going through it again so soon, but he was still a good sport about it. My darling John surprised me one evening by disappearing into the bathroom and coming back out with a shaved head to match mine as a show of his support. What a guy!
The third time, I just went to my hairdresser and gave her my business since I wouldn't see her for awhile. I knew John still wouldn't do it, and I didn't ask.
I've gotten MUCH less conscious about whether people in public recognize me as a chemo patient and whether that bald spot peeks through the back of my cap. I know I get lots of curious stares whenever I walk through a store, and I've even had a few brave people ask about my cancer—or tell me about their experience, or even their loved one. Sometimes it has been a means to initiate a wonderful conversation. I know I don't look "normal" (why does that matter, anyway?) but I think of it as a kind of badge of honor—I'm fighting a battle with a fierce enemy, but it hasn't beat me yet!

The endless playlist
The music collection on your iPod or MP3 player is about 10,000 songs strong. There's no argument — such a collection is pretty impressive. But these are all your favorites, your "Golden Oldies" (plus a few that you've completely forgotten about, of course). In other words, you still like discovering new music whenever you get the chance. And, as you are well aware, the best place to hear new tunes is the radio — but not just any radio . . . Internet radio services offer a nearly endless supply of new, up-and-coming music, as well as all your favorites. And most of it is free. The only thing that's stopping you, however, is being limited to hearing all that music only at your computer. You could update your iPod or MP3's playlists, but you don't want to listen to headphones at home. You want to listen to your favorites and discover new music, listening from anywhere in your home. You want the Squeezebox Radio from Logitech.
Wired, wireless, whatever
Giving you the ability to listen to the music you want — whether from your existing collection or from online sources — the Logitech Squeezebox Radio combines internet and line-level-audio connectivity. Use the built-in ethernet port or Wi-Fi capability in conjunction with your broadband internet connection or wireless network to stream the latest music from thousands of free internet radio stations as well as from online services ranging from Pandora and Slacker to Rhapsody and SIRIUS Internet Radio. While you can choose to use your computer while streaming audio, the Squeezebox Radio's Always On Internet Radio technology lets you access internet radio even when your PC is turned off. And combined with the built-in rechargeable battery, the SqueezeBox Radio's Wi-Fi capability lets you bring your favorite tunes with you, anywhere in your house. Further, allowing simple, universal access to audio files on your iPod or other MP3 player, the Squeezebox Radio sports a 3.5mm line-level audio input jack and cable for connecting to the headphone output on your portable audio player.
LCD screen, album art, Facebook . . . what can't this do?
These days, if any home electronics device is worth its weight in dirt, it's got to have an LCD screen. One-line digital readouts just don't cut it as interfaces for operation and setup anymore. And what possibility there is with the Squeezebox Radio's 2.4" color LCD screen! Not only does the LCD screen offer simple-to-navigate menus for browsing your music collection and internet radio stations, but it also lets you view album art, track and station information, visualizers, and screen savers. And that's not even the best part. If you have a Facebook account, you can display your page right on the screen, and make instant music recommendations to your friends as soon as you discover a new song or artist! The LCD display also offers a fast guide for setting up and using your SqueezeBox Radio.
Compact, yet room-filling
This goes for any loudspeaker: you want sound that fills your listening area, not a speaker that takes over a room. Bringing you a wide soundscape while allowing for placement anywhere, the compact Squeezebox Radio solves the conundrum. First, measuring only 5.12" H x 8.66" W x 5.04" D, the Squeezebox Radio's footprint is so compact, that it can be placed anywhere from the kitchen counter top to your desk at the office without crowding your workspace. Further, the combination of a 0.75" tweeter and 3.0" woofer delivers a full, vibrant sound powered by a built-in Class D amplifier.
Rise and shine
What better way to start your day than with your favorite radio station, DJ, or playlist? With its built-in alarm clock, you can program the Squeezebox Radio to wake you up with the tunes of your choice. You can even program a different radio station and time for every day of the week. Further, at night, you don't have to worry about being bothered by the light from the LCD display — a built-in ambient-light sensor recognizes light conditions and automatically adjust the panel brightness to fit the environment.
Included with purchase
The following items are included with the purchase of the Logitech Squeezebox Radio: Squeezebox Radio Wi-Fi music player, power adapter with removable plug, user documentation, and a line-in cord for most iPod and other MP3 players with a standard 3.5mm jack.

The idea of an internet radio player is great. Overall, I would say Logitech has a good product and some nice features by setting up your own custom setting in sync with your PC. However, some of its quirkiness can be irritating. We would occasionally get stuck in a loop of two different firmware updates. One firmware would work for normal radio usage, but when you wanted to connect to your personal settings, a different firmware was needed to work. It got to be quite frustrating. Then sometimes it would work fine. Finding documentation on this is impossible, so you kind of have to figure it out on your own.

Phoenix Correspondent
EUFAULA – Eufaula built up a big lead and then weathered a late Haymaker by Haskell for a 71-54 victory and a sweep of the series for this year as the Lady Ironheads, ranked No. 10 in Class 3A by Okrankings.com, got ready to start a playoff run.
Using the inside size advantage of 6-foot senior Janet Hill, Eufaula poured in 26 points in the first quarter while forcing the Lady Haymakers into seven turnovers. Hill, who had 19 of her game- high 27 points in the first half, powered the Lady Ironheads to a 45-23 lead at intermission.
Haskell coach Rick Kirkhart knew there needed to be some changes for this team.
"I told the girls at halftime that what we want to accomplish is just to chip away, play good defense and be patient on offense," said Kirkhart. "We felt like we could press them because we were a little quicker than them. But that also got us into foul trouble and when we lost Denora Wheeland to fouls, that hurt us."
Kirkhart's philosophy paid off as the Lady Haymakers outscored Eufaula in the second half and got the margin down to 11 points, 65-54 with 2:30 to play. But the hole was too deep and time ran out on his squad.
It was an up-and-down game for Eufaula coach Jordan Garner in terms of his team's performance.
"I thought we played as good a first half as we've played all season, but then we just kind of went into survival mode in the second half and just got through it," said Garner.
"I told the girls to keep their composure and that was kind of our word in the huddle. We knew they would make a run and they did, and I was proud of the girls for closing them out in the end."
Hill, the senior center, agreed that the Lady Ironheads (16-6) are ready for the playoffs.
"Haskell is a good team and we played well and I feel like I did have a pretty good game," said Hill. "We feel like we've stepped up and we've won like seven games in a row so we think we're in the flow now."
Connors-bound Sherrell McHenry recorded her 10th double-double of the season as she paced Haskell (10-13) with 24 points and 10 rebounds on the night. The only other Lady Haymaker in double figures was Wheeland who had 10.
For the Lady Ironheads, Cheyanna Jones with 15 points and Newakis Banks and Alyssa Banks with 10 each joined Hill in double figures.
Eufaula will host 3A districts on Saturday as the boys and girls take on Stigler while Haskell's teams will be on the road Saturday at Sequoyah, also in 3A action.
Eufaula 74, Haskell 58
Alex Wheeland tossed in 19 first-half points including six from beyond the arc to keep the Haymakers going, leading 35-34 at halftime. But the Ironheads (12-10) made some corrections and, like the girls completed a series sweep of the Haymakers.
"In the first half we were slow defensively and they outrebounded us," said Ironheads coach Brad Campbell. "So we went more man-to-man defensively in the second half and that really was the difference."
The strategy slowed Wheeland down as he got 10 points to give him 29 for the game, but only two field goals in the second half.
Davone Garfield was the leading scorer for Eufaula with 21 points. He was joined in double figures by Devin Siers with 19 points, Cody Faries with 15, all in the second half, and Forest Paden with 10 points.
Haymakers coach Jay Dixon was pleased with at least part of the game.
"We had a good first half and led at halftime but things kind of fell apart in the third quarter and we had to play without our big man (6-6 Michael Love) tonight so that hurt us."
With playoff action looming, Campbell feels his team his ready to go.
"We had a tough loss to Checotah last week but we learned from that game and tonight, especially the second half, I think we're playing about as well as we can right now," said Campbell.

Time to abolish Electoral College
What can a popular vote mean or any other vote mean when you get this cumbersome arrangement that can trump and nullify the results on election day?
I am targeting the Electoral College vote, which allows anonymous delegates to take control of elections and elect whomever they dang please.
This odious system has been with us for over two centuries, ever since the founding fathers came up with this wacky mess. It must have been that the framers of the constitution did not quite trust the ordinary voters to make the right decisions, and also to take control of the vote.
After all, the founding fathers were no angels themselves. They owned slaves, used their wealth to gain power, used that power to gain more wealth, and sought to extend their own family rule for generations ahead.
When an election is close, even as narrow as one vote, this wretched system allows committed delegates to vote any way they want to. We don't even know their motives. This miserable set of rules allows a few anonymous characters (delegates) to nix millions of popular votes, turn things upside down, and vote the opposite direction.
I bring to mind a terrible misboggle, the 2000 election. Al Gore had a great number of popular votes over G.W. Bush, yet a murky and suspicious count in Florida tweaked the electoral votes to Bush. This has to be a national shame. Sure, Gore was no whiz of a statesman, but I am here defining the despicable method of selecting a president, not the character of the man.
Oh, by the way, we had eight miserable years to define Bush, yet the Electoral College wrought its stupidity.
It would be a landmark upgrade in American history if we just got rid of the Electoral College.
— Paul Jones

Dearborn City Council took steps this week toward repealing an ordinance aimed at stopping smokers from lighting up in front of Oakwood Hospital.
The ordinance, approved in January under the offenses chapter of the city code, added hospitals to the list of places in which smokers had to be at least 100 feet away before they could partake. It was enacted after Oakwood—which has its own no-smoking policy on the campus—came to the city asking for help in getting hospital staff and visitors off of Oakwood Boulevard when they chose to smoke.
However, the ordinance had an unintended consequence.
According to residents of the neighborhoods surrounding the hospital, hospital staff and visitors began taking their habit to their doorsteps—literally.
Donna Chaffin, a resident of Venice Street, came before council last Thursday on behalf of her neighborhood. She told council that cigarette butts littered her neighborhood; staff and visitors would sit on the front porches of homes and smoke; ambulance drivers would park their vehicle along the street for a smoke break before returning to the hospital.
"It's a very bad security issue," she said on Tuesday. "We'd look out the door and there's someone standing on the porch."
"It's Oakwood's problem—not ours," she added.
Oakwood Director of Security Morris Cotton also came before council on Tuesday, explaining that the ordinance—which allows for a $50 fine against violators—came to be in an effort by the hospital to get smokers off of the sidewalks in front of the hospital.
"We're trying to continue to be good neighbors," he said, adding that the ordinance has greatly reduced instances of smoking on Oakwood Boulevard.
"We've issued over 100 tickets for smoking violators," Cotton said. "As a result of the tickets being issued, we've noticed a major reduction of people smoking on Oakwood."
But council, which held a first reading of a resolution to redact the ordinance, agreed that the solution for Oakwood was a big problem for residents.
"You've done a tremendous job in pushing it off of Oakwood," Councilman David Bazzy said, adding that it was at the expense of neighborhoods. "These are your visitors and your employees. This problem has manifested itself in the neighborhood and this can't happen.
"You're part of the community, and you're not being good neighbors now."
Council President Tom Tafelski added that in addition to Chaffin's public appearance on the issue, council has received numerous complaints about the issue from residents of the area.
"You would not want to live on some of the streets where this is going on," he said. "It's gotten out of control."
"It was a good idea when we initially implemented it," he added, "however the unforeseen consequences and lack of communication is why we're here now."
Council agreed to hold a study session on the issue in order to come up with a solution that works for both Oakwood and residents of the area. The date for that session has not been set.
The second reading of the motion to repeal the ordinance would come before council again Dec. 18, at which time they could approve or deny it.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., October 7, 2006 – The Springfield College field hockey team defeated MIT, 3-0, this afternoon in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game at SC's Benedum Field.
With the win, Springfield is now 9-3 overall and 4-0 in NEWMAC play (tops in the league), while MIT falls to 4-8 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
In today's match, it was freshman forward Rebecca Gamble (Granby, Conn.) that got Springfield off on the right track, scoring a goal just 13:10 into the contest. The goal was assisted by sophomore forward Jane Kelleher (Chatham, Mass.).
The 1-0 score stood up until the second half when the Pride struck again at the 42:13 mark. This time it was sophomore forward Allie Eisele (Walton, N.Y.) who found the back of the net. There was a rare double assist given on the play, to junior forward Brittany Veazie (Dexter, Maine) and junior forward Eileen Jenkins (Gorham, Maine).
SC's final tally came with just 1:22 remaining and was provided by senior forward Christine Gibbins (Eden, N.Y.).
Two goalkeepers played one half each for the Pride in this game. Junior Emma Kaplan (Ridgefield, Conn.) came up with two saves in the first half, while junior Julia Kincade (Durham, N.H.) made three saves in the second stanza.
For MIT, junior Alexa Herman had six saves as she played all 70 minutes.
Springfield next plays on Tuesday, October 10th, at 7:00 p.m. when it hosts WPI. MIT will play at Wellesley College on the same day at 4:00 p.m.

Bladder Cancer
*Links on this page will take you to content on the cancer.net website. Links will open in a new window.
The bladder is an expandable, hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine (the body's liquid waste) before it leaves the body during urination. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra and is lined with a layer of cells called the urothelium. This layer of cells is separated from the muscularis propria (bladder muscles) by the lamina propria (a thin, fibrous band).
Bladder cancer begins when normal cells in the bladder begin to change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning is can spread to other parts of the body). It is described as either noninvasive or invasive. Noninvasive cancer does not spread through the lamina propria, and invasive cancer can spread through the lamina propria. Noninvasive cancer may also be called superficial cancer, although that term is being used less often because it may incorrectly imply that this type of cancer is not serious. Noninvasive bladder cancer is less likely to spread and can often be managed with surgery to remove tumors and chemotherapy (see Treatment). Invasive cancer is subdivided as either cancer that only grows into the lamina propria or cancer that grows into the muscle layer. Both invasive and noninvasive bladder cancers have the possibility of spreading into the bladder muscle or to other parts of the body.
There are three main types of bladder cancer, depending on the type of cell where the cancer begins:
Urothelial carcinoma. Urothelial carcinoma is a new term for this type of bladder cancer. It was previously called transitional cell carcinoma or TCC. Urothelial carcinoma accounts for about 90% of all bladder cancers and begins in the urothelium. A tumor of this type may be described further using one of the four subcategories explained below.
Non-muscle-invasive/superficial urothelial carcinoma. This subtype of urothelial carcinoma is limited to the urothelium and is non-muscle-invasive, meaning it has not spread to the muscle layer. It may spread into the lamina propria beneath the transitional cells. This is sometimes called invasive, though it is not the deeply invasive type that can spread to the muscle layer.
Muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (often called invasive urothelial carcinoma). This subtype of urothelial carcinoma spreads to the bladder's muscularis propria and sometimes to the fatty layers or surrounding tissue outside the muscle.
Papillary urothelial carcinoma. Papillary is a word that describes a growth that is like a small polyp or flower-shaped cluster of cancer cells. A noninvasive papillary tumor grows into the hollow center of the bladder on a stalk. Invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma can spread into the lamina propria or muscle layer.
Flat urothelial carcinoma. Noninvasive flat urothelial carcinoma (also called carcinoma in situ, or CIS) grows in the layer of cells closest to the inside of the bladder and appears as flat lesions on the inside surface of the bladder. Invasive flat urothelial carcinoma may invade the deeper layers of the bladder, particularly the muscle layer.
Squamous cell carcinoma. This type accounts for about 4% of all bladder cancers and starts in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells.
Adenocarcinoma. This type accounts for about 2% of all bladder cancers and begins in glandular cells.
All three major types of bladder cancer can metastasize (spread) beyond the bladder. If the tumor has spread into the surrounding organs (the uterus and vagina in women, the prostate in men, and/or nearby muscles), it is called locally advanced disease. The area outside of these organs where bladder cancer usually spreads is the lymph nodes in the pelvis. If it has spread into the liver, bones, lungs, or other parts of the body, these are distant metastases and the cancer may be called advanced disease.
There are other, less common types of cancer that arise in the bladder, including sarcoma (which begins in the muscle layers of the bladder) and small cell anaplastic cancer (a rare type of bladder cancer that is likely to spread to other parts of the body).

Our MISSION
To partner with healthcare providers, payers, patients and advocacy groups to eradicate colorectal cancer.
Exact Sciences Announces FDA Advisory Committee Unanimously Recommends Approval of Cologuard
First of its Kind Stool-based DNA Screening Test for Colorectal Cancer
MADISON, Wis., March 27, 2014 – Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee determined by a unanimous vote of 10 to zero that Exact Sciences has demonstrated safety, effectiveness and a favorable risk benefit profile of Cologuard ®, the company's stool-based DNA (sDNA), non-invasive colorectal cancer screening test.
"We are pleased the Committee strongly supported Cologuard's approval," said Kevin T. Conroy, chairman and chief executive of Exact Sciences. "We look forward to continuing our work with the FDA to complete its review of Cologuard and remain committed to addressing the growing unmet needs in colorectal cancer screening. We thank the FDA and its advisory committee for its careful consideration of Cologuard. We also appreciate the opportunity to participate in the innovative FDA/CMS parallel review program. "
In the company's 10,000-patient, 90-site DeeP-C pivotal trial—one of the most extensive colorectal cancer screening studies ever conducted in the United States—Exact Sciences' Cologuard found 92.3% of colorectal cancer in average risk patients based on a combination of DNA and hemoglobin markers. Exact Sciences submitted the final module of its PMA for Cologuard on June 7, 2013, and the application includes data from that study, which was published online on March 19, 2014, in the New England Journal of Medicine. The peer-reviewed study, "Multi-target Stool DNA Testing for Colorectal-Cancer Screening" will also appear in the journal's April 3, 2014 print issue.
The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of its advisory committee, but will consider the committee's guidance as it evaluates the Cologuard PMA.
Exact Sciences' DeeP-C Study Results Published in New England Journal of Medicine
Non-invasive, Stool-based DNA Test Shown to Detect 92% of People with Colorectal Cancer compared to 74% for the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
MADISON, Wis., March 19, 2014 – Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS) today announced that results from its DeeP-C pivotal clinical study have been published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. The peer-reviewed study, "Multi-target Stool DNA Testing for Colorectal-Cancer Screening" will also appear in the journal's April 3, 2014 print issue.
The 10,000-patient DeeP-C study was designed to determine the performance characteristics of Exact Sciences' multi-target stool DNA-based screening test, Cologuard ®, for colorectal cancer and to compare that performance to the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), a commonly used non-invasive colorectal cancer screening test. The DeeP-C study took place at 90 centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The DeeP-C data published in the NEJM elaborate on top-line data Exact Sciences announced in April of 2013. Data published today include:
- Sensitivity of Cologuard in detecting patients with colorectal cancer was 92% versus 74% for FIT;
- Sensitivity in detecting patients with colorectal cancers in Stages I-III —those determined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer to be associated with an increased rate of being cured—was 93% for Cologuard versus 73 % for FIT;
- Sensitivity for patients with advanced pre-cancerous lesions was 42% for Cologuard versus 24% for FIT;
- Cologuard detected 69% of patients with polyps with high-grade dysplasia versus 46% for FIT;
- Cologuard achieved a specificity of 87% versus FIT specificity of 95%.
Colorectal cancer is often considered the most preventable, yet least prevented cancer. One out of 3 adults age 50 and older has not been screened as recommended and, as a result, colorectal cancer remains the second-leading cancer killer in the United States. Colorectal cancer is highly treatable if found early, making the detection of pre-cancerous polyps paramount.
"We know that colorectal cancer can be prevented and can be highly treatable if found early through screening" said lead author Thomas F. Imperiale M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine, Regenstrief Institute Inc., the IU Simon Cancer Center, and the Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis. "Sensitivity is the most important characteristic for screening tests because the primary role of such testing is to rule out diseases such as cancer. In our clinical study, the data show that Cologuard, the multi-target stool-based DNA test, is highly sensitive in detecting colorectal cancer and higher risk pre-cancerous polyps in a large, diverse average-risk patient population and has the potential to be an important screening tool."
"We are very pleased with the data published today in the New England Journal of Medicine," said Kevin T. Conroy, president and chief executive of Exact Sciences. "We believe Cologuard could be an important tool in the early detection of colorectal cancer. This is an important milestone for Exact Sciences and Cologuard." The Exact Sciences Cologuard screening test is an investigational device currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is not available for sale in the United States. The FDA's Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee is scheduled to review Exact Science's PMA application for Cologuard on March 27, 2014.
About Cologuard, Exact Sciences' Investigational Stool-based DNA Screening Test
Every day, millions of normal cells are shed from the colon lining into the stool stream. As these cells degenerate, they release DNA. All colon cancers start as precancerous lesions, commonly called polyps, and as those polyps develop, they also shed cells into the stool stream. Some of these cells contain altered DNA, reflecting acquired mutations and methylation found in pre-cancerous polyps and cancer. Cologuard is designed to have patients collect a stool sample at home and send it to a lab where the sample will be processed through a series of sophisticated laboratory procedures to isolate specific DNA targets. The targeted DNA is then amplified and analyzed for molecular alterations associated with cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions of the colon and rectum. Doctors will discuss results with their patients. If the Cologuard result is positive, patients should be referred for a diagnostic colonoscopy. While the science behind stool-based DNA screening is complex, the specimen collection process is easy, requiring no bowel preparation and no dietary restrictions.

A busy weekend of baseball awaits the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals with four games stuffed into the next three days in the nation's capital.
Washington had a 4.5-game cushion over Atlanta in the NL East as the two clubs wrapped up series against the Mets and Giants respectively with Thursday matinees. Both contests were still pending and found the Nationals 130 favorites in their home affair with New York while the Braves were laying $1.15 vs. San Francisco who was going for a sweep at Turner Field.
The fourth series of the campaign between Washington and Atlanta gets underway Friday evening (7:05 p.m. ET), and the Nationals will send ace Stephen Strasburg to the mound as a 155 favorite. Tommy Hanson opposes Strasburg, and the opening 7-run total was priced two bits to the 'under.'
There has been a lot of recent chatter regarding just how long Strasburg will continue to pitch this season. His innings count is up to 105 heading into Friday, 106 if you include his frame at last week's All-Star Game, and Nats GM Mike Rizzo has said all along Strasburg would be shut down at some point. Strasburg missed most of his 2010 rookie season and all but the final month of 2011 due to Tommy John surgery.
Rizzo has backed off what was thought to be a 160-inning limit and commented this week, "There is no magic number."
Strasburg is making his fourth appearance of 2012 vs. the Braves, and second against their lineup at home. Atlanta managed to touch him up for seven runs and eight walks in the eight innings he tossed at Turner Field, winning one of those games, but Strasburg quieted the Braves in Nationals Park on June 2 with seven shutout innings while striking out nine with no free passes.
Hanson has run hot-&-cold over his 19 starts, but the end results have been good for the Braves who stand 13-6. A potent Atlanta lineup has bailed the big righty out on several occasions, and came to his rescue last Saturday at home vs. the Mets. Hanson surrendered nine hits and six runs before being chased in the sixth, but the Braves rallied to grab an 8-7 win.
His lone appearance this season against the Nationals was a good one and resulted in a 3-2 win in DC on June 3 as a +125 underdog. The Braves are 3-3 in his six career starts at Nationals Park.
Washington was expected to bolster its strong relief corps Thursday by activating Drew Storen from the disabled list. The right-hander had elbow surgery for bone chips in April after saving 43 games for the Nats a year ago. Storen is not expected to immediately move back into the closer's role since Tyler Clippard has filled in nicely, but it probably won't be long before we see Storen begin to get save ops and reclaim his job.
While the news on Storen is good, the Nats are still playing a bit short on the field with all-star shortstop Ian Desmond limited due to an oblique strain and outfielder Rick Ankiel designated for assignment to make roster room for Storen. Washington also just placed backup catcher Jhonatan Solano (oblique) on the DL and called up backstop Sandy Leon.
The Nationals have won six of the eight meetings this season, with the clubs splitting the two played at Nationals Park. Both of those contests stayed 'under' the mark while all six in Atlanta went 'over.'
A doubleheader is on Saturday's card, made necessary after a June 1 rainout in DC. The Nationals had yet to officially announce their starters for the twinbill, but all signs point to Edwin Jackson in one of the contests and John Lannan for the other. Lannan has been pitching in the minors all season, and the Nats are expected to recall him per the new roster rules that allow for the addition of a player when teams play doubleheaders.
Atlanta is slated to send Ben Sheets out for the opener with Randall Delgado following in the nightcap. Sunday's finale should find Jair Jurrjens opposing Ross Detwiler.
There is an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms in Washington DC on Friday, and a 30 percent chance of scattered storms both Saturday and Sunday.

Things to Do In San Francisco
San Francisco Travel Guide
Get Your Bearings in San Francisco
Where to Stay
San Francisco hotels are as varied as its hilly landscape. If you have the means, you can live it up at The Palace or spoil yourself silly at The Sir Francis Drake. If you're on a more modest budget, many Fisherman's Wharf and Inner Sunset hotels are a good fit. A business traveler can stay near the airport and zip downtown easily on BART. There are boutique hotels in North Beach for the romantics, and low-budget hostels for the adventurous. Wherever you stay, all 49 square miles of beautiful San Francisco waits right outside your door.
Avoid: The Tenderloin - until the revamp of 5th and Market is complete.
Hot Tips: Take the glass elevators at the Saint Francis Hotel for an unbelievable view.
What to Eat
Whether it's dim sum in Chinatown, pasta in North Beach, burritos in the Mission or the hot strip of Valencia Street for the latest in California cuisine, San Francisco continually reinforces its reputation as a top spot for eating. One wondrous meal can make an entire trip unforgettable, and San Francisco offers endless opportunities for that perfect dining experience.
Caution: Not every food truck is created equal.
Take It or Leave It: Clement Street is often overlooked but a great spot for foodies.
Hot Tips: Valencia Street in the Mission has a new restaurant almost weekly.
Be Sure to Sample: Dim sum in Chinatown.
Things to See
Besides offering the attractions of most world-class cities, such as sophisticated museums and top-notch restaurants, San Francisco's geography makes it truly unique. Between Ocean Beach and the bay, and nestled in the hills of North Beach and Chinatown, are more parks and hiking trails than most counties, let alone cities, can offer. And whether you're exploring the Golden Gate Bridge, infamous Haight Ashbury or the continually expanding downtown area, take San Francisco by foot as much as possible. The hills might be challenging, but seeing this gorgeous city on foot is a memory for a lifetime.
Caution: Hold onto those electronic MUNI transfers.
Hot Tips: The Golden Gate Bridge is all electronic tolls; no cash.
Places to Party
San Francisco will always be a young city - no matter how old you are. Whether you're up for a dance club all-nighter in the Castro, or laughing your heart out at an open mic in the Mission or needing an intimate table for two in North Beach, San Francisco days are only beaten by San Francisco nights.
Avoid: Bars with a cover charge.
Hot Tips: "Ride shares" are replacing taxis as the quickest ways around town at night.
Where to Shop
San Francisco's famous Union Square and the recently restored Westfield Centre will meet your standard shopping needs, but if you want to pick up that special San Francisco trinket, wander through Chinatown. Even for those who don't like shopping, the back alley shops and delicious dim sum restaurants make this shopping trip fun for everyone.
Caution: Keep your shopping bags and valuables in front of you on crowded buses and streetcars.
Ready for Your Dream Vacation?
San Francisco Is Known for...
Five of San Francisco's most unique features and characteristics.Fog
San Francisco's Mediterranean climate is mild (the temperature nearly always hovers between 55 – 75 degrees F year-round), but when that pesky fog invades, be prepared for the massive chill down. Most prominent in the summer months of July and August, the natural air-conditioning is both loved and hated by locals. Yes, we crave hot, sunny days and warm nights when the rest of the country enjoys them in excess; however, we'll haughtily brag when we're frolicking on the city beaches in March or November. Whether the tidal wave of fog is pouring over Twin Peaks or seeping through the soaring suspension cables of the Golden Gate Bridge, one thing can't be denied – it's an uncommonly beautiful sight.Hills
Boasting 47 named hills, these mini-mountains are no joke; you'll find yourself huffing and puffing up and hanging on for dear life down as the cable car descends. But oh, the views! Stare in awe at the rows of cars parked at 90-degree angles, side by side, like dominos on the brink of toppling over one another. It's impossible to designate where the best vistas are – Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Twin Peaks, Potrero Hill, Buena Vista Heights, and Pacific Heights are just a few knolls, among many,...

Ahead of the 2011 UN General Assembly High Level Meeting on AIDS on 8-10 June, we're calling on international governments to recommit to HIV targets, and meaningfully partnership with civil society to ensure progress.
The Alliance supports civil society organisations to participate in decision making and programme implementation at community and national level.
In South Sudan building capacity of civil society is the Alliance's core mandate. Alliance South Sudan has been supporting community-based organisations (CBOs) since the peace agreement in 2005, ending two decades of civil war. It now supports 90 CBOs across 18 counties.
The Alliance has a strong working relationship with the Government of South Sudan, which includes a memorandum of understanding that the Alliance is the lead agency to strengthen civil society capacity in the HIV response.
The Alliance has been able to play a key role in ensuring the needs of marginalised groups are represented in policies, including supporting the design of a strategy to increase access to HIV prevention services among marginalised populations.
The Alliance has increased capacity of CBOs to improve prevention services for marginalised groups. In 2010 Alliance South Sudan reached 41,785 people with prevention services.
Capacity building and prevention initiatives include:
Training peer educators from communities at higher risk of HIV; sex workers, street boys, and adolescents. Read more
Training 25 teachers from secondary schools in Yambio to support the peer educators and provide AIDS education to students.
A military HIV programme. At the barracks, men receive HIV awareness education and are taught how to use condoms.
Training in organisational management. CBOs receive training in management, accountability and leadership.
Alliance South Sudan has been instrumental in the creation of the South Sudan Network of People Living with HIV (SSNEP+). The Alliance supports the network to build its capacity to influence national HIV-related policies through training, mentoring and providing grants.
Strengthening community systems to build and resource the community response to HIV and to ensure and meaningful participation in decision making and programming is 1 of 7 key Alliance messages calling on world leader to recommit to universal access targets. You can find all 7 messages here, along with case studies from around the Alliance.

RICHMOND — Eastern Kentucky University President Michael Benson on Friday announced that a task force has been established to finalize a tobacco-free policy on campus, to take effect June 1.
The task force will develop implementation strategies that assist the university community with the transition, a university news release stated.
Since 2006, the university has prohibited smoking in buildings and restricted it to designated locations on campus. Benson said it is anticipated that the new tobacco-free policy will not only prohibit the use of tobacco products in and around buildings, but also eliminate its use throughout campus, including all outdoor areas.
"We have an opportunity to improve the health of everyone who steps on our campus," Benson said in a video (video.eku.edu/tobacco-free) and letter posted on the university's home page. "Second-hand smoke exposure causes nearly 50,000 deaths each year among adults in the United States, and it is also linked to numerous health issues – including heart disease and lung cancer. Tobacco use is the leading cause of avoidable death in the United States, contributing to 443,000 deaths each year.
"These statistics," Benson continued, "demonstrate the need to make improvements. We care about the health and well-being of all our students and employees, and we want to provide everyone with a chance to attend school and work in a safe and healthy environment. The truth is there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco products."
Noting that a Presidential Suggestion Box he announced at Fall Convocation has received numerous messages in support of making the campus cleaner and healthier, Benson said, "We have found it to be in the best interest of all those on campus to improve the health of our community by removing the exposure and use of tobacco products."
Benson said the tobacco-free policy enjoys "the support of the great majority of our faculty, staff, students and governing board, and is supported by the results of the April 2012 tobacco-free campus survey. It is our responsibility as educators, role models and concerned members of our campus community to do the greatest good."

Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone is recovering from the holidays and had a wonderful time. For those of you who were contacted before this is the transport that was originally scheduled for December 14 that had to be postponed because of pilot technical difficulties. At this point we have 2 yellow lab puppies (older puppies, about 5-6 months old), one small adult fluffy dog (20lbs or so, named Nikki), and a small black puppy (age uncertain) with pointy ears. They have all of their vet work and papers will come with them.
If you can help, let me know what leg you can take and include a phone number so we can reach you. Also let me know what day works best for you if you are able to help.
Here are the legs from the previous transport that was cancelled. Let me know if they work or if we should divide the legs differently. We also have an emergency foster in Parkersburg WV in case of weather or other problems so we could potentially do part of the transport on Friday and part on Saturday if that would work best for someone.
Leg 1 - NC to Parkersburg WV (PKB) - we have a pilot for this leg (thanks Mike!)
Leg 2 - Parkersburg WV (PKB) to Valparaiso (VPZ)
Leg 3 - Northern Indiana (VPZ) to Madison (MSN)
If you can take a leg or part of the leg please let me know. My email address is email@example.com and my phone is 608-780-8841. There is also another rescuer, Keely Haynie (eaglebelle), who has a transport coming from the south who would like to join our transport if there is room. Keely, if you could contact me we will see if we can coordinate it. There is a possibility that one of the yellow labs is getting adopted in NC (YAY) so won't need to make the trip.

Comments about Hemp:
I'll simplify this the best I can...
I wear my Hemps EVERY DAY... Not just weekends, not just beach trips... EVERY DAY!
They are comfy, stylish, laid back, soft and I can wear them with jeans or shorts!
Only thing that ticks me off about them is when I get them wet! They aren't uncomfortable wet, nor do they stay wet for long... it's just the hemp kind of "soaks up" the moisture. But nothing simply taking them off and letting them dry for 10 minutes won't fix...
If you're thinking of buying them.... DO IT! Period, I'm sorry if I sound like I work for them... I don't... I would love too... but I don't...
I just love SANUK!

Comments about Hemp:
I saw a guy at school wearing a pair of these and i knew i had to have them. I ordered a pair and i was blown away with the feel of these shoes. They are made of high quality material and the breath easily. I wore these in a pool, ran through a muddy corn field, followed by a jump into a pond, and the shoes looked destroyed. They also smelled terrible. I wiped the mud off as best as i could, but the smell remained. I threw them in the closet and checked on them the next day. The smell had disappeared and they smelled like they did when I opened packaging. These shoes look great with anything and i have received many compliments at school for them.

'Snagadate' Heart Association fundraiser planned Oct. 13
Citizen Staff Reports 10/11/11
The third-annual "Snagadate," a fundraiser for the American Heart Association, will be held this Thursday, Oct. 13, at Aloft Richmond West's xyz bar in Glen Allen, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Former NBC12 news anchor Gene Cox will host the event, and heart-disease survivor Andy Hrabovsky, a professional auctioneer, will preside over live bidding for themed date packages donated by local and regional businesses.
Volunteer Snagajob employees will pose as bachelors and bachelorettes to present attendees with an overnight stay and Sunday brunch at The Jefferson, skydiving for two, a mix of weekend and week-long stays in locales including Snowshoe, the Outer Banks and Charleston, S.C., and a Mosiac chef-prepared meal for eight, among other packages.
Snagadate organizers this year expect to exceed the combined total of $17,000 raised by the event to date.
Snagadate is open to the public. Organizers expect a spike in attendance from a mix of Snagajob employees, corporate donor representatives and individuals and couples from around the area.
Attendees receive free admission and parking, and donors are offered free appetizers prepared by popular local caterer Groovin' Gourmets. A cash bar will be fully stocked and open throughout the event.
Snagadate also is designed to encourage participation in AHA's annual Start! Heart Walk, a family-oriented fundraiser that promotes exercise as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle, scheduled in Richmond for Oct. 22.
For details, visit http://www.snagadaterichmond.com or follow @Snagadate on Twitter.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden raises admission $1

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.
Weekend Top 10
An eclectic array of events are taking place this weekend throughout the county. In the West End, we have the Richmond Wedding Expo, the Under the Stars Family Film Series and Henrico Theatre Company's production of "Pump Boys and Dinettes." In the eastern part of the county, we have a blood drive at the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center, Gallmeyer Farm's annual Sweet Corn Festival and an origami workshop at Fairfield Library.
