You could drive past 1627 West Lafayette a hundred times and never notice the sign for Young Detroit Builders.
Inside, a University of Michigan educated, self-described "white kid from the 'burbs" named Ryan Doyle talks to a group of African-American 18 to 24 year olds from the city. Although he's only 25 himself, it's clear he's got their respect.
"I'm a very honest, very transparent guy. So, the first day I walked in, I said listen, let's just get all the stuff out of the way. I'm this guy. I'm from the 'burbs. This is my background. You guys are like this from this place, and we're very different. That aside, let's talk about life. Let's get into something real, and I think they appreciate the honesty," said Doyle.
What they're doing at Young Detroit Builders is rebuilding city -- literally learning skilled trades and getting their GEDs so they can build themselves a future.
"We learn how to paint, prime, (and) drywall. We (haven't) been on … construction sites yet, but we're going to do that pretty soon," said Kendall Kelly.
"I want to go to college and further my education in construction," said Demetrius Tucker. "Later, I want to have my own business."
Just up the street in southwest Detroit there is a new youth hostel. Doyle's Life to Give Foundation provided funding to the young woman opening it.
"Fantastic young woman, I think she's 24, a lot of energy, and she wants to be a part of the growth here, as well. So, it's been an honor to work with her," Doyle told FOX 2.
From Corktown to Midtown, Doyle says Detroit can come back if its best asset, young people who were born there, want it to come back.
"We took out a couple of the guys to the hostel, and one told me two days later he wanted to start his own," Doyle said.

Reading fluency is the ability to read quickly, accurately, and with appropriate expression. Does your child struggle to sound out words when reading? Does her reading sound very monotone and lack excitement and expression? Does it take your child much longer to read than you would expect? If so, your child may struggle with reading fluency.
It is important to help your child to read fluently because it allows him to spend less time and effort decoding (sounding out) words and more time and effort understanding their meaning. Reading fluency is truly a prerequisite to becoming a proficient reader.
If you have significant concern about your child's reading, it may be best to talk with his teacher and/or the school psychologist that works at your school. These individuals can further investigate the significance of your child's reading struggles and may be able to put further supports in place at school.
There are things you can work on with your child at home to increase your child's reading fluency skills.
- Model fluent reading for your child by reading to her out loud while she follows along silently with her finger. Adult modeling is ideal, but if you do not have time or are not a fluent reader yourself, having your child listen to digital books or books on tape can also be used for this purpose. This strategy helps your child to hear how fluent reading sounds so that they can incorporate that expression in their own reading.
- If your child is struggling to sound out words, mark those words that he stumbled on to be reviewed at the end of the passage or sentence. Help your child sound the word out, discuss its meaning, and then have your child read the part of the text with that word again after this review.
- Help your child understand that expression and prosody (rhythm and stress on certain words to convey meaning) is important. As an example, if your child fails to pause in appropriate places or use expression when a question mark or exclamation point is used, it may adversely impact his understanding of the text meaning. If your child has trouble with phrasing, provide him with cues to pause at punctuation marks and gradually reduce this pausing once your child is using expression with punctuation independently and automatically. If intonation is a concern, model appropriate intonation and then have him repeat the section of text back to you copying your intonation.
- Have your child read to anyone that will listen (stuffed animals and pets count too)! The more your child reads in any capacity, the more vocabulary words she will learn, and the more reading will become effortless.
- You may want to set aside a particular reading time where you will be working specifically on fluency and then many other times where you and your child can simply read together without correction. A good estimate of time needed to utilize reading fluency strategies to see improvement is twenty minutes four to five times a week. When practicing reading fluency strategies, it can require a great deal of effort for your child to implement these techniques. You will want to avoid making every reading encounter "work" to keep reading fun and enjoyable!

Bowers and Wilkins CM1 S2 ( rosenut)
The Bowers & Wilkins CM1 S2 speakers look great and sound terrific, but they aren't the best choice for rockers.
Pricing not available
Logitech X100 ( yellow)
The travel-friendly X100 is one of the better micro wireless speakers, featuring decent sound for its size, an attractive design, and speakerphone capabilities.
Sony SRS-X3 ( white)
With comparably good sound for its size and the addition of speakerphone features, the Sony SRS-X3 mini Bluetooth speaker measures up well against the pricier Bose SoundLink Mini.
Pricing not available
LG LAB540W Sound Plate
The LG LAB540W SoundPlate packs Blu-ray and Smart TV functionality into an impossibly thin audio package, but you'll pay for the all-in-one convenience.
Pricing not available
Monster Superstar Speaker ( Gray)
While it doesn't live up to its billing as "the world's smallest audiophile Bluetooth speaker," the Monster SupersStar has some nice attributes, including a slim, splash-resistant design and built-in speakerphone.
Pricing not available
Sony SRS-X7
While the SRS-X7 can't beat the performance of competitors like the Bose SoundLink III, it's a nice portable wireless speaker that offers the flexibility of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Logitech Z50
The Logitech Z50 is about as no-frills as you get for a multimedia speaker, but at $20 it's not a bad deal for the sound it delivers.
Samsung SHAPE M7 ( white)
The Samsung Shape M7 is a versatile streaming speaker that sounds better than the Sonos Play:3 but lacks a rich ecosystem of products and supported services.
Pioneer SP-SB23W
The Pioneer SP-SB23W is the best affordable sound bar if you care about sound quality, with its outstanding sonics making up for some of its design limitations.
Pricing not available
Bose SoundLink Mini speaker
While it's fairly expensive at $200, the Bose SoundLink Mini is one of few standout products in the ultracompact wireless speaker category, featuring a top-notch design and very good sound for its tiny size.

A 23-year-old contestant from Brooklyn has won the title of Miss America.
Mallory Hagan, from Park Slope, won the Las Vegas beauty pageant Saturday night after tap dancing to James Brown's "Get Up Off of That Thing" and answering a question about whether armed guards belong in grade schools by saying we should not fight violence with violence.
Hagan defeated Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers, who took second, and Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton, who finished third.
Hagan wins a $50,000 college scholarship and gets the crown for one year. Her platform was stopping child sexual abuse.
She is expected to spend her title reign on a nationwide speaking tour and raising money for the Children's Miracle Network, the organization's official charity.
The last time New York won the Miss America crown was in 1984 when Vanessa Williams took home the title, but resigned after Penthouse magazine bought and published nude photographs of her.
Hagan, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, is originally from Alabama. She moved to New York several years ago and was crowned Miss Brooklyn in 2010.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

La Croisette is the lively epicentre of 1850 next to the World Cup slalom stadium, where all the main ski-lifts start, the ski-school meets, and skiers throng to the après ski bars. The recognised absolute best place to stay is not right in the midst of this hurly-burly, but a convenient 2-minute walk away at the Chalet Hotel Coq de Bruyère! From here, you have a choice of bars, restaurants and everything that 1850 has to offer conveniently close at hand. On top of that, there is supremely easy access to the slopes, with the Loze piste literally just metres away.Just across the street from the hotel, barely 30m walk away, is the edge of the 'Loze' piste, an easy green run suitable for all skiers, which leads you quickly to the Plantrey chairlift, on to Courchevel 1550, or connects to the 'Brigues' red run all the way down to Le Praz 1300 if you wish.
Alternatively, you can walk approximately two minutes down to La Croisette and take your pick of the choice of main high-speed lifts from there. At the end of your ski day, you can ski back to the same point you started from on the 'Loze' piste, and simply cross the street to the hotel and your welcoming afternoon tea. If you have been skiing down in Le Praz, you can also take the gondola from 1300, which unloads you just a minute's walk along the piste from the Chalet Hotel Coq de Bruyère.The open-plan lounge and bar area was refurbished last year, and with its open fireplace is the ideal place to enjoy a pre- or post-dinner drink in the evenings. There is also a small separate DVD lounge or 'snug' providing additional space to relax, so don't forget a few DVDs. The attractive dining room opens off the bar and provides the ideal setting for our skiers' buffet breakfast and 'Culinary Choice' evening meals. All the bedrooms have private en suite facilities, with a choice of showers or baths and wc, and many also have a balcony. The third bed in the triple rooms is suitable only for a child under 13 years.

I am using pspx, so your version may be slightly different.
You will need the psp version of your layout in order to make it into a quick page, ie the layers must NOT be merged. So when making your layout, you will need to save it as a psp image before you go ahead and merge it/save it as a jpeg.
So, now that you are ready to convert your layout into a quick page, open up your psp image. You will probably have some layers such as journaling which you will not want on the quick page, so delete those layers now. In my example below, it will just be the date on the tag that I will need to delete.
Now you need to make the transparent area where the photograph is. Ensure that your photo layer is the active layer by clicking on it in your layers palette. Then select your magic wand tool as shown below:
Adjust the tool settings to these:
Now, using your magic wand, left click anywhere on your photograph, and you will see marching ants around the edge of it like this:
Now press delete on your keyboard, and your photo will be deleted. Then go down the layers which are beneath your photo layer, making each of them the active layer in turn, and deleting the selected area from each one. If you have your shadows on separate layers, you will need to delete it from them as well. You should then end up with something like this:
Press ctrl D and the marching ants will disappear. Now you will need to merge the visible layers. To do this, right click on any of the layers in your layers palette and select merge visible
Now you can save your quick page as a png file, and the hole you have made for the photo will remain transparent.
You can then re-size it and save a copy as a jpeg for your preview.

(WMC-TV) - The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF-1 tornado struck east Fayette County about 3.5 miles southeast of Mason Saturday night.
The tornado began northeast of exit 35 on I-40 and ended in a wooded area to north of Old 59 Drive, about one mile east.
Fayette County Sheriff's Department officials report damage in the area of Belmont Road north of Interstate 40.
An animal rescue in Fayette County was hit by severe weather Saturday evening. Many animals were loose after the shelter was hit. They were contained Sunday morning.
Many people were without power after the storm. Crews were busy cutting down trees and trying to restore power to all areas early Sunday.
Also, a church on Belmont Road was blown off its foundation.
A barn was destroyed, several trees fell, and at least one house is damaged.
Sources tell Action News 5's own Dave Brown there were reports of people trapped in structures in Fayette County. They were immediately rescued.
One minor injury was reported. No one was displaced from their homes.

Pokemon Protein Implicated in Cancer Development
A central problem in combating cancer has been its molecular complexity; each cancer cell has numerous mutated genes contributing to the disease. However, a study, funded in part by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which appears in the January 20 Nature identifies a new cancer gene, named Pokemon, that may act as a master switch. Pokemon is an oncogene, a gene that can cause normal cells to become cancerous when mutated, but its role is unique in that it controls the activity of other oncogenes.
"Pokemon is a main switch in the molecular network that leads toward cancer," said senior author Dr. Pier Paolo Pandolfi of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). "If we could turn Pokemon off, it may block this circuitry and stall the malignant process."
Pokemon (POK Erythroid Myeloid Ontogenic factor) is part of the POK gene family that encodes proteins that turn off other genes. POK proteins are critical in embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and oncogenesis. Read more
Program Promotes Collaboration,
Rapid Generation of New Interventions
At the recent joint retreat of some key NCI advisory boards and the NCI intramural program retreat, two themes emerged that go hand-in-hand with several high-priority NCI initiatives. First was the strongly voiced sentiment that, to make the sort of progress against cancer that we all believe is possible, extensive collaboration is required among researchers of all disciplines and between academia and industry. Second was the imperative of getting drugs and other interventions to patients much more quickly than we currently do.
One NCI-led program that I believe holds tremendous promise and speaks to both topics is the Academic Public-Private Partnership Program (AP4). This program will establish AP4 centers at four to six U.S. academic research institutions and stimulate discovery- and development-related research. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and industry, the goal will be to rapidly generate novel, molecularly targeted cancer drugs and diagnostics for clinical trials for orphan cancer types.

"Pokemon is a main switch in the molecular network that leads toward cancer," said senior author Dr. Pier Paolo Pandolfi of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). "If we could turn Pokemon off, it may block this circuitry and stall the malignant process."
Pokemon (POK Erythroid Myeloid Ontogenic factor) is part of the POK gene family that encodes proteins that turn off other genes. POK proteins are critical in embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and oncogenesis.
Dr. Pandolfi and colleagues at MSKCC, along with collaborators at Chester Beatty Laboratories in London, examined the potential role of this POK member in cancer development. They first introduced multiple combinations of cancer-triggering genes into normal and Pokemon-deficient mouse cells. These stimuli caused normal cells to proliferate rapidly and become cancerous, whereas cells lacking Pokemon did not respond and remained healthy. In addition, co-expressing Pokemon and another oncogene in normal cells increased the proliferation of the cells as compared with expressing the other oncogene alone.
The researchers found that one reason Pokemon had such a broad effect was that it could turn off the expression of the key tumor suppressor p19ARF. The authors note that Pokemon is the first ARF-specific repressor to be identified. "Pokemon is a novel regulator of a critical pathway," noted Dr. Michael Dean, principal investigator in NCI's Laboratory of Genomic Diversity. "The p19 gene is one of the 'big three' tumor suppressors, along with p53 and retinoblastoma protein; at least one of these is mutated or inactivated in virtually every cancer."
The researchers tested Pokemon's effect in mice to examine if it could genuinely act as an oncogene and stimulate cancer development. They generated mouse strains which overexpressed Pokemon, and observed that many of these mice developed aggressive fatal lymphomas.
To see if the results of the mouse models could be related to humans, the researchers used microarrays to look at Pokemon expression in human tumors. About 80 percent of large B-cell and follicular lymphomas analyzed for gene expression displayed at least moderate levels of Pokemon expression, and one-third of the tumors had high expression levels. Although Dr. Dean noted that it may be too soon to generalize Pokemon activity with human cancers, excess Pokemon was also found in subsets of breast, lung, colon, prostate, and bladder tumors.

Program Promotes Collaboration,
Rapid Generation of New Interventions

Second was the imperative of getting drugs and other interventions to patients much more quickly than we currently do.
One NCI-led program that I believe holds tremendous promise and speaks to both topics is the Academic Public-Private Partnership Program (AP4). This program will establish AP4 centers at four to six U.S. academic research institutions and stimulate discovery- and development-related research. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and industry, the goal will be to rapidly generate novel, molecularly targeted cancer drugs and diagnostics for clinical trials for orphan cancer types.
With the aid of NCI planning grants, 14 research centers are currently developing AP4 proposals that cover a broad array of research, from advanced cellular/immunotherapies to neuroendocrine tumors to agents that improve radiation sensitization of cancers. Some of the country's top research centers with proven track records in research and development are vying to become AP4 centers. Early indications are that nonprofits and corporations are eager to join an AP4 team.
AP4 arose from similar recommendations made by several NCI Progress Review Groups, all calling for efforts to accelerate the advancement of new interventions to clinical trials. NCI's Office of Science Planning and Assessment and Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) worked together to develop AP4, including researching programs with similar aims to speed up the pace of research. In fact, AP4 is modeled on the long-running, extremely successful National Science Foundation (NSF) Industrial/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program. In 2000, with NSF funding of $5.2 million, I/UCRCs had a combined budget of $68 million that supported 1,750 faculty and students at 50 academic research centers.
At the heart of AP4 is a flexible and dynamic project management structure. Each AP4 center will have an academic director and various partners, who together compose the AP4 steering committee. The partners in each AP4 center will develop a governance document that defines financial contributions, partner interactions, intellectual property issues, and evaluation metrics. Each center's steering committee (which will have a nonvoting NCI member) will have the authority to make go/no-go decisions on projects, add new projects, and shift funds as they see fit - a flexibility that will give them the agility to keep projects moving. In addition, AP4 centers will have priority access to DPT's screening and developmental resources for clinical candidates, such as in vivo efficacy testing and pharmacology and toxicology studies.
Partnerships between industry, nonprofits, and academic institutions have always been a part of NCI's strategy to accelerate progress. Through AP4, NCI will provide financial support and an integrated system for collaboration. Industry will be attracted by access to the talent and novel research capabilities of the academic centers, with the ability to pursue interventions that - on their own - they might deem too risky to pursue, and insight into research methods that in later years could have a significant downstream impact on their business. Academic investigators, on the other hand, will have rapid and direct access to the expertise necessary to facilitate discoveries being translated into development of interventions that will lead to the elimination of the suffering and death due to cancer. Through AP4, we believe we can significantly enhance the marginal success rate of current academic/industry partnerships, open exciting new doors for partnership and collaboration, and quickly generate new interventions that will benefit many patients.

Cancer Vaccines: Training the Immune System to Fight Cancer
Researchers have spent more than a century trying to develop a vaccine that jump-starts the body's immune system in an effort to either prevent or treat cancer. Although understanding of the immune system's role and function in cancer initiation and progression has improved, researchers have had limited success translating that improved knowledge into better results in early-phase cancer vaccine clinical trials. That does not mean researchers have lost hope of getting some vaccines to pass Food and Drug Administration (FDA) muster for use in patients. If anything, it has forced them to be more creative in their efforts to teach the immune systems to treat cancer cells like the unwelcome intruders they are.
The use of cancer vaccines to date has almost uniformly focused on patients already undergoing treatment - so-called therapeutic vaccines. Through mechanisms researchers are now beginning to understand, the immune system often fails to recognize cancerous cells, and simply leaves them to potentially take root and form tumors. Therapeutic cancer vaccines are meant to reverse this course, unmasking active cancer cells and bringing them to immune cells' attention.
"The best settings are for treating people who have minimal disease or a high risk of recurrence," explains Dr. Jeffrey Schlom, chief of NCI's Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology, and a leader in cancer vaccine development. "But at this time, most therapeutic cancer vaccines are being studied in people who have failed other therapies."
About a dozen therapeutic vaccines currently are being studied in advanced clinical trials, according to Dr. Steven Hirschfeld, a medical officer in the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. The vaccines, says Dr. Hirschfeld, "are designed to be specific, targeting only the cancer cells without harming the healthy ones."
Although many of the therapeutic vaccines under investigation are made with cancer antigens - unique proteins or protein bits on the surface of cancer cells that can elicit some immune response - the antigens' presence is not always sufficient to fuel a robust immune response. So Dr. Schlom and other researchers have enhanced the potency of their vaccines. For example, Dr. Schlom's lab has developed a vaccine, CEA-TRICOM, in which genes for the tumor antigen called CEA are put into a weakened vaccinia virus, or vector, that delivers genetic materials to antigen-presenting and/or cancer cells, making the tumor antigen more visible to the immune system. The genes for three "costimulatory molecules" are also added to the vaccine to serve as signaling beacons that make the vaccine more potent than it would be if the antigen were used alone.
The most recent findings from a CEA-TRICOM vaccine clinical trial were published in December in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. In the phase I trial (the primary goal of which is to prove safety), 58 patients received the CEA-TRICOM vaccine regimen, which includes an initial vaccination along with "booster" vaccinations. After 4 months, 40 percent of patients had stable disease, with more than half maintaining stability beyond 6 months, and one patient had a pathologic complete response.
In a commentary published last November in Nature Medicine, Dr. Steven Rosenberg, chief of the NCI Surgery Branch, and NCI colleagues, discussed the lack of pathologic response and tumor regression in trials testing cancer vaccines against solid tumors. Using peptide vaccines, Dr. Rosenberg's group has shown that tumor progression persists even when more than 10 percent of cells demonstrate anti-tumor activity in response to the vaccine. "This is an exciting area of research, but there is still a lot of work to be done," says Dr. Rosenberg. "Unfortunately, as of today, there are no vaccines that are effective in patients with solid tumors."
Vaccines are also being tested against several blood cancers, and have yielded some positive results. One such vaccine relies on white blood cells called dendritic cells, which are mixed with genetic material taken from a patient's tumor. Dendritic cells are like bloodhounds: They sniff out the tumor antigens and show them to the hunter T cells, and researchers have discovered how to dramatically expand the number of dendritic cells in a vaccine. "Employing millions of 'pumped-up' dendritic cells can help elicit a strong immune response," says Dr. Kim Lyerly, director of the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, whose research team has been developing dendritic cell-based vaccines.
In a 2002 study at Stanford University, use of a dendritic cell-based vaccine to treat 19 patients with B-cell lymphoma yielded 4 complete tumor regressions and an objective tumor regression rate of nearly 32 percent.
"For decades, people thought it wasn't even fundamentally possible to develop cancer vaccines, and here we are," says Dr. Lyerly. "The science behind cancer vaccines is leading us to believe that we will find the answers."

Cancer Biomarker Detection Method is Found Reliable
Investigators have created a reliable method to calibrate instruments across several different laboratories to detect potential cancer biomarker proteins with uniform accuracy, according to a study in the January 1 Clinical Chemistry. The method uses surface-enhanced laser desorption (SELDI) mass spectrometry (MS) to help clinicians detect protein biomarkers for prostate and other cancers.
The study was led by Dr. John Semmes of Eastern Virginia Medical School, and is part of a multi-institutional collaboration spearheaded by NCI's Early Detection Research Network (EDRN). Standard calibration algorithms for SELDI MS were established in six cancer research laboratories, including Dr. Semmes' lab at the Virginia Prostate Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Each lab then analyzed the same human serum samples - both cancerous and control - and obtained virtually identical protein expression profiles.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, NCI program officer and EDRN coordinator, noted that, "We established, for the first time, that mass spectrometry can yield reproducible output among different laboratories analyzing the same set of clinical samples." However, this is only the first phase of the study. In a follow-up study, NCI is testing the robustness of the developed algorithm in correctly classifying prostate cancers and controls obtained from multiple institutes in a blinded fashion.
If successful, the SELDI MS profiling of prostate cancer study may improve early detection of prostate cancer beyond the current utility of the widely used prostate-specific antigen test. However, Dr. Srivastava cautioned that any MS instrument must be carefully cross-validated for analytical sensitivity and precision before using it in the clinical setting.
Colorectal Cancer Screening Guidelines Not Being Followed
Many clinicians do not administer colorectal cancer screening with the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) as recommended in the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's 2002 guidelines, according to a study in the January 24 Annals of Internal Medicine. The Task Force had concluded that only in-home, three-sequence FOBT sampling has been proven to reduce colorectal cancer mortality. In-office FOBT conducted by the physician obtaining a single stool specimen during a digital rectal exam was not recommended.
In the study, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Cancer Society, and NCI retrospectively analyzed responses from physicians participating in the national Survey of Colorectal Cancer Screening Practices (SCCSP) and from adults over age 49 who responded to the 2000 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
They found that only 26.3 percent of physicians used the FOBT home test exclusively, as recommended by the guidelines. Among the 1,120 surveyed physicians who used FOBT, 32.5 percent used the in-office test, and 41.2 percent used both home and in-office testing. In the NHIS, of 2,652 adults who reported having FOBT in the past year, 29.1 percent reported an in-office test only, 61.5 percent a home test only, and 9.4 percent reported both tests. Although guidelines further advise against repeating FOBT by way of following up a positive test, analysis of the SCCSP data showed that nearly 30 percent of physicians did repeat the tests. The adults surveyed in the NHIS also reported follow-on FOBTs, as well as many failures to have their positive test followed by a total colon exam
Many Physicians Fail to Recommend CDE After Positive FOBT
Research published in the February 2005 Medical Care Research and Review illuminates a quality of care problem in colorectal cancer screening. The study found that 37 percent of primary care physicians and 24 percent of gastroenterologists and general surgeons surveyed did not recommend a complete diagnostic evaluation (CDE) for average-risk patients with a positive FOBT. Lead author Dr. Robin Yabroff of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences explained, "Physician recommendation for CDE is a critical component in the process of identifying and treating colorectal cancer. Lack of this recommendation may limit the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening programs." Primary physicians play an important role in improving the quality of care and outcomes for colorectal cancer patients. This study was conducted by NCI and other federal agencies to support provider surveys related to cancer control.
Factors associated with primary care physicians' recommendations of CDE included aspects of physician background, experience, and practice patterns; practice environment; and perceptions of colorectal cancer screening test effectiveness. Patient characteristics were associated with gastroenterologists' and general surgeons' recommendations of CDE.
Study Finds Fruits and Vegetables Don't Protect
A team of European scientists has found that there is no link between the amount of fruits and vegetables that a woman eats and her risk for breast cancer. These results are featured in the January 12 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The 285,526 women in this prospective study, who came from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, were followed over a median course of 5 years, during which 3,659 of them developed invasive breast cancer. In addition to providing information about lifestyle, the women completed country-specific questionnaires on their dietary habits, detailing the types of vegetables that they ate: leafy vegetables, fruiting vegetables, root vegetables, cabbages, mushrooms, grain and pod vegetables, onions and garlic, stalk vegetables and sprouts, and mixed salads and vegetables.
The difference in fruit and vegetable intake varied by as much as 300 percent among the women, but after controlling for many factors, the researchers found no evidence of a protective effect, even according to vegetable type. The size of the cohort and the range of fruits and vegetables the women ate bolster these results, but the authors cite a relatively short follow-up and a lack of information on the history of breast cancer in participants' families as caveats. An accompanying JAMA editorial suggests that when it comes to cancer prevention, the critical period for fruit and vegetable consumption may be in childhood, and adds that "reductions in blood pressure and epidemiological evidence for lower risks of cardiovascular disease provide sufficient reason to consume these foods in abundance."
New Cancer Statistics Available
The American Cancer Society has released Cancer Facts & Figures 2005, based on data from NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. In addition, an article published in the January/February issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians provides the scientific underpinnings for the user-friendly Facts & Figures.
Both publications report that the death rate from all cancers combined has decreased annually by 1.5 percent since 1993 among men and by 0.8 percent since 1992 among women. The mortality rate from the three most common cancer sites (lung, colon, and prostate) has also continued to decline.
More than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected in the United States in 2005, with more than 570,000 deaths expected this year. The 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 1995 and 2000 is 64 percent, compared with 50 percent for cancers diagnosed between 1974 and 1976.
The report estimates that 17 percent of new cancers diagnosed worldwide can be linked to infectious diseases, such as the hepatitis B and C viruses, human papillomavirus, Helicobacter pylori, HIV, and Epstein-Barr Virus.
Also included in the report is a section on tobacco use and its relationship to cancer; the report estimates that smoking is responsible for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of all lung cancer deaths.

Immunotoxin Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
In this trial, researchers are testing whether addition of an immunotoxin, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, to standard chemotherapy will improve the disease-free survival of patients with previously untreated AML. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody linked to a powerful bacterial toxin. The monoclonal antibody can locate and bind to leukemia cells and deliver the toxin to them. Patients may receive standard therapy alone or gemtuzumab ozogamicin during induction chemotherapy, after consolidation chemotherapy (post-consolidation therapy), or both.
"In phase II studies, treatment including gemtuzumab ozogamicin led to promising remission rates for patients with AML," said Dr. Petersdorf. "We haven't seen any significant improvements in remission rates for AML in many years, so it is important that we confirm those findings with a large phase III trial."

Changes to PDQ Enhance Online Cancer Information
NCI's Physician Data Query (PDQ®) evidence-based cancer information summaries, which are available on NCI's Web site (http://www.cancer.gov) in both health professional and patient-oriented versions, have been refashioned to provide more Web-friendly presentations. In addition, users of the summaries are now offered a variety of view and print options, and illustrations of key medical concepts are being included in the patient-oriented summaries.
All PDQ summaries are divided into sections for easy navigation and scanning, and they can be viewed and printed as entire documents or by selected section. Tabs at the top of each summary allow easy switching between the health professional, patient-oriented, and Spanish (if available) versions. The health professional summaries include reference lists with links to literature citations in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database.
The patient-oriented summaries use less-technical language and "information mapping" methods, such as boxed key points, bulleted lists, and other formatting techniques, to enhance readability. Key points highlight critical concepts and link to explanatory information in the body of the text. Medical and scientific terms in the patient-oriented summaries are linked to entries in the NCI Dictionary and, if a document is printed, all linked terms and their definitions are included in the printout.

New Medicare Prevention Benefit Guides Seniors
to Cancer Screenings
"Too many seniors do not use the services that make it possible to find and treat illnesses before they lead to more serious problems, as well as avoidable increases in health care costs," said Dr. Mark B. McClellan, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which operates the Medicare program. Coverage of the "Welcome to Medicare" check-up was included in Medicare modernization legislation enacted in December 2003. "The new law gives us the tools to close this 'prevention gap' for seniors," added Dr. McClellan, "and we're going to do all we can to use these new opportunities to keep seniors healthy."
Cancer is the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 60 and 79. Last year, more than 2 million Medicare beneficiaries were actively treated for cancer and cancer was the cause of death for 390,000 beneficiaries. Increasing the number of elderly patients who undergo recommended cancer screenings, says Dr. Mark Clanton, NCI deputy director for cancer care delivery systems, should help ensure that more Medicare beneficiaries' cancers are detected earlier than they otherwise might have been.
"In the case of the new benefit, Medicare beneficiaries will be directed to the appropriate screenings by their physician," said Dr. Clanton. "That's extremely important, because a doctor's recommendation is perhaps the strongest determinant of whether a patient will undergo screening."
In addition to guidance about covered cardiovascular and diabetes tests and screening, physicians conducting "Welcome to Medicare" check-ups will also advise patients about nutritional counseling and smoking cessation services covered by Medicare. Later this year, some Medicare beneficiaries will be eligible for coverage of additional smoking-cessation counseling. The proposed coverage, which was announced on December 23 and was open for public comment until January 23, will include beneficiaries who have an illness caused or complicated by smoking, such as heart or lung disease, as well as those who take any medications whose effectiveness is complicated by smoking.
"The combination of lives lost unnecessarily and the cost of treating smoking-related diseases makes our investment in smoking cessation benefits all that more important," said outgoing HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson. "It's never too late to benefit from quitting smoking."

Quadriceps strain is a partial tear of the small fibers of the muscles that make up the quadriceps group. The quadriceps are the large group of muscles in the front of the thigh. They consist of four muscles in each leg that run from the hips to the knees.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A quadriceps strain can be caused by stretching the quadriceps beyond the amount of tension or stress that they can withstand.
Factors that increase your risk of a quadriceps strain include:
Symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, your recent physical activity, and how the injury occurred. Your thighs will be examined for:
Images may be taken to see how severe the injury is with:
Muscle strains are graded according to their severity:
Treatment depends on the severity of the strain.
Treatment usually includes:
Do not give aspirin to children and teens with a current or recent viral infection because of the risk for Reye's syndrome.
If you are diagnosed with a strained quadriceps, follow your doctor's

My twins Kenzie and Zoey are 6 months old today. Up til now they haven't shown too much interest in food, but now that they're 6 months we got the go ahead from the doctor to start baby food.
Today we have their 6 month well baby visit with the pediatrician. At this visit I'll ask the doctor what order in which we should try new foods, how long before moving on to the next food, and how often they should get baby food and bottles.
I will be making my own baby food so I need to make a plan because I do it in large batches. That's the best way I've found to do it being a working mom. Avocados and bananas are great to keep on hand though because all you have to do is mash them up or throw them in the blender so if you need something quick for them they're perfect. Other fruits and veggies you have to steam, boil or bake first. Squash is one of my favorites to make because I love the smell. While you're making it you can get lots of other stuff done too. You just cut it in half, coat the skin in olive oil, put it on the cookie sheet meat side down and throw it in the oven, forget it for an hour then blend it up with some breast milk to thin it out. One squash makes a lot of baby food and it freezes well.
I can't believe 6 months have gone by already! Time flies, but I think it goes even faster when there's two of them.

Hemp and the Environment
Hemp grown for the production of biomass fuels can provide all of our gas, oil and coal energy needs and end dependency on fossil fuels. Hemp results in a 95.5% fuel-to-feed ratio when used for pyrolysis the thermochemical process that converts organic matter into fuel. Biomass has a heating value of up to 8,000 BTU/lb., with virtually no residual sulphur or ash during combustion. Biomass fuels offer a clean alternative to fossil fuels. No sulphur oxides are released, either during pyrolysis or combustion. A closed CO2 system is created. According to Stanley Manahan, «Environmental Chemistry», biomass fuels would not result in any net CO2 being added to the atmosphere.
Hemp is the number one producer of biomass per acre in the world. Biomass energy expert Lynn Osburn estimates that 1.5 to 3.5 million acres of hemp would replace all of Canada's fossil fuel demands.
From 75% to 90% of all paper was made with hemp fiber until the late 1800's. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Bulletin #404 outlined a process for the production of paper using pulp and demonstrated that hemp could replace 40% to 70% of all tree pulp paper, including corrugated boxes, computer paper and paper bags.
An acre of hemp will produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees over a 20 year period. The hemp paper -making process requires no dioxin-producing chlorine bleach and uses 75% to 85% less sulphur-based acid. Hemp paper is suitable for recycle use 7 to 8 times, compared with 3 times for wood pulp paper.
Hemp produces the strongest, most durable natural soft-fiber on earth. Until the 1820's, up to 80% of all textiles and fabrics for clothes, canvas, linens and cordage were made principally from hemp. Hemp cloth is stronger, more durable, warmer and more absorbent than cotton. Best of all grown in Canada, cotton cannot. An acre of land will produce 2 to 3 times as much fiber as cotton, about 1,000 Ibs. of fiber per acre.
Hemp grown in most parts of Canada will require no herbicide, fungicide or insecticide applications. Up to ½ of all agricultural pesticides used in North America are applied to the cotton crop.Natural, organic hemp fiber breathes and is recyclable, unlike petroleum-based synthetic fibers. A fully mature hemp plant may contain 1/2 of its dry-weight in seed. Hemp seed has an oil content of 34 % more than any other seed. Hemp seed oil is second only to whale oils in its quality and has the same burning qualities and viscosity as #2 grade heating oil without any of the sulphur-based pollutants. Once hemp seed oil has been extracted, the remaining seed cake is second only to soya bean for protein content and is an excellent source of nutrition for either farm animals or humans.
Nutrition for the SkinBenefits of Hemp Seed Oil and Skin
Readily absorbed and penetrates deeply into your skin to provide:
Formulated for all skin types, North American Hemp Co. products can actually help minimize visible signs of biological and environmental aging by nourishing, restoring and balancing the skin.
Because its Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) profile so closely resembles the skin's natural lipids, hemp seed oil instantly counteracts the effects of dehydration, a condition that can produce wrinkles and other signs of aging. Hemp seed oil penetrates deeply into the tissue to soothe and help heal dry skin and minor burns. Hemp Seed Oil softens and promotes flexibility by working between surface cells, helping to lubricate, reduce flaking and revive the skin's intercellular structure.
Studies have shown that the anti inflammatory properties of hemp seed oil's Essential Fatty Acids can further aid in the healing of minor skin abrasions and acne. Studies also show that polyunsaturated Essential Fatty Acids, when topically applied, can alleviate skin conditions such as neurodermatitus, dry skin, atopic eczema and psoriasis. These studies have specifically shown cracking or scaling reversed by skin care products containing these omega-6 fatty acids. Additionally, the proven anti inflammatory properties of these Essential Fatty Acids can aid in healing and improving the appearance of sun-damaged and aging skin. Essential Fatty Acids
Hemp oil is one of the few oils that is rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Essential Fatty Acids are fats that the body requires for healthy cells but cannot manufacture by itself. EFAs include Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, Linoleic Acid and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).
In cosmetic testing, EFAs have been shown to play a preventive role in the skin aging process. The outflow of moisture from the body is regulated by a barrier which the skin forms to protect itself from the external environment. EFAs, particularly Omega-6 and GLA, preserve the "barrier function" of cell membranes. Skin which is deficient in these nutrients allows more moisture loss and can show dryness and loss of elasticity. PUFAs have also been shown to prevent skin dryness and to help restore damaged skin to normal.
Due to its rich content of Essential Fatty Acids, hemp seed oil is a perfect choice for skin, hair & lip care.
Amino Acids
Amino acids play an important role in women's health issues & are important to nearly every chemical process in the body that affects physical and mental function.
Hemp is an excellent source of protein. It boasts a complete spectrum of natural organic proteins, with all 20 amino acids used in the human body, including all eight essential amino acids. The proteins found in hemp are similar to proteins found in the human body. This is important because hemp provides the correct amino acids in the right quantities to help our bodies make the proteins it needs. Hemp is also free of oligosaccharides, the component that can cause gas and upset stomach.
Vitamins and Minerals
Hemp seed oil also provides an adequate supply of antioxidants (Vitamin E), B1, B2, B3, & C, carotene (precursor to Vitamin A), phytosterols, phospholipids and a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorus, along with modest amounts of iron and zinc. Hemp seed oil also provides a good source of chlorophyll.
Nutrition for the Hair
Hemp seed oil in hair care products provide rich omega-3, 6, & 9 Essential Fatty Acids, nutrients proven to help maintain beautiful and healthy hair. Although hair is not a living part of your body, it is still important to know that healthy, shiny hair is supported by the scalp's natural lubricating oils.
The production of these oils known as sebum, decreases with age, so increasing your intake of omega-3 is a vital first step in your hair care regime. Hemp seeds also contain essential amino acids which can help individuals who suffer from excess sebum production known as seborrhea. Equally important is using hemp seed oil externally. This will restore moisture and will add shine and managebility to your hair.
Hemp has excellent healing and moisturizing properties. Because of its Essential Fatty Acids profile, hemp seed oil instantly counteracts the effects of degreasing and dehydration, conditions that produce dry hair and scalp. In addition to improving the structural quality of the hair, hemp seed oil's high lipid content helps increase elasticity, volume, combability and shine.Hemp History Timetable (8,000 BC - Present)
Hemp is the ancient, eco-friendly fiber of the future. For over 10,000 years, hemp has been used for textiles, paper, building materials, fuel, food and personal care products. Hemp can be grown with little or no toxic chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Throughout history hemp has been grown all over the world. The crop is used to make over 25,000 consumer products. From hemp apparel and accessories to housewares and hempseed oil cosmetics, hemp is an eco-shopper's dream.
