The night Superstorm Sandy struck Breezy Point, couches, drapes and photos turned into kindling.
Eight months later, Kieran Burke strolled with attorney Keith Sullivan along what is now just a soggy sandlot, an area where 150 homes, including Burke's, used to stand.
But Burke does not blame Sandy. He points the finger at LIPA and National Grid, which he and his lawyer say failed to de-energize the neighborhood, despite knowing Sandy was well on the way.
Sullivan said he filed suit in Queens County Supreme Court on behalf of 120 of roughly 155 Breezy Point homeowners whose lives Sullivan says were turned upside down after Sandy.
The lawyer says he estimates damages at about $80 million, but says some of what was lost simply can be recouped.
All Burke, who is renting a place in Yonkers for the time being, says he can do now is try the best he can to turn his life back right-side up.
LIPA issued a statement.
"The actions taken during Sandy were reasonable and appropriate, and we do not believe the claims have merit," LIPA said.
National Grid said it had not received the lawsuit.
"National Grid's action during Sandy were reasonable and appropriate, and we don't believe that the claims have merit," it said.

I was visiting the Overstock.Com site and clicked on the jewelry section. One of the first items that popped on the screen was this ring. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and the price was great too. I decided to give it a try and order it, and I'm very glad I did. This is a lovely ring, well made, substantial amount of metal, and the center stone is pure and brilliant. Colors just keep flashing at me all the time. The smaller stones on each side of the ring are clear and brilliant also. One of the things that really makes this ring so pretty is the high setting and the lovely profile it has. The gallery and the basket are really eye-catching and look like something one would find on a ring costing thousands of dollars. I'm very, very impressed and I have the ring on my finger as I type right now. This is definitely a keeper!!
I just got this ring in the mail and it is beautiful. It is not too large (comparable in size to a 2 ct. real diamond depending on the table/cut). It is also not set too high for the size of the center stone. I compared it to my 1.47 ct. real diamond and it is a smidge larger. The only thing is, this ring is much cleaner and without flaws, very brilliant. My diamond is nearly colorless at an F, but, this ring's center stone is truly colorless. My diamond also has a slight inclusion underneath one of the 6 pronges, this ring is flawless...super clean...plus my platinum has lost it's polish over the years whereas this ring is brand spankin' new. So, all in all, you could tell it is fake if you examined it from like 6 inches. But, under inside light, or an intimate setting, there is no way to tell this is not the real deal. Can't speak for in the daylight because I haven't checked yet. You can't beat the price, grab it.
I ordered this ring after being dissapointed with another cz ring I bought. I have only had the ring for 3 days and I am already getting compliments. The stone is slightly bigger than I expected and up close you can tell its a fake but over all I LOVE THIS RING!!! I wear it with a cz band and find myself admiring it at every red light . I hope my review helps you... Thank You Overstock.
This ring IS stunning, I won't dispute that. But, do NOT clean it with jewlery cleaner, as it actually eats the finish on the ring. Stick with soap and water. Other than that, it's great.
I am going on vacation and did not want to wear my expensive diamond engagement, so when I saw this ring I had to order it. It is much prettier and convincing in real life. I though it would be cheaply made, but that's not the case. I wear this ring everyday and people compliment me on it all the time. This is the best purchase I have ever made.
The ring I received was totally black, stone and ring black! If I had seen the silver ring, I think it would have been fine as the engagement ring (I didn't realize that it was engagement) but the stone is too large to be seen as real quality diamond. If it were paired with a different ring it might tone it down, though not sure. The black turned me off of the ring totally, I sent it back.
Just as pictured, sized right, beautiful sparkle, you can see the reds and blues of the light in the ring, looks so much like a diamond. How can you lose at this price. have had it about a month, no discoloration and I love it
This is a lovely ring, and I would recommend it to a friend, but the 'diamond' is a bit too large for my taste. The ring is well made, but I know I would seldom wear it, but am sure someone else would love it.
I received this ring a week ago and it is beautiful! I wear a size 5 and was concerned that it would look too big and fake. The opposite happened. It is so fiery and people have complimented me on it over and over. I wear it with my real diamond band and you can't tell the difference. For the price this is amazing. I don't ever intend to spend money on real diamonds when there are so many better places to invest my finances - especially when I can wear this instead. Because of my age and my lifestyle no on has questioned the authenticity of this stone. It's seriously amazing!
This ring is simply amazing it is brilliant looking, looks better than the real diamond ring. I have return it because of the size.

Since this seems to be the safest place to discuss gay issues I figured I would just post this question that I have been thinking about....
If you and your family are supportive and you want to raise your children to be supportive, do you explain what homosexuality is or just play it off like it's so normal that it doesn't need explaining?
I had thought if DH and I just approached it as normal that our kids would just accept it as normal and move on. My best friend and her partner live in our basement apartment and my kids have a close relationship with them. They have not asked anything about their relationship yet but I am starting to wonder if we should just explain what being gay means before they hear it from someone else or draw their own conclusions. My friend and her partner plan to get married. My kids have been talking a lot about people getting married (they don't know my friend's plans, just in general) and will ask if boys can marry other boys and girls marry other girls. We have explained they can. That's really as far as we went. Then DD2 said she wanted to marry me
One of DD1's friends has 2 moms. She has mentioned he has 2 moms before and I just say "wow lucky him"!
Should I be explaining what it means to have 2 moms? How do you all handle this? Do you use the terms gay, lesbian, homosexual? I often think of the book Nurture Shock and how when race was not discussed the kids ended up drawing their own conclusions about children who were different races and/or segregating themselves. I don't want that to happen but I don't want it to seem "abnormal" in that it needs explaining....you know what I mean?

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - General Motors
"As a global auto company, GM needs a strong design, engineering, manufacturing and sales presence in Europe. There's room for Chevrolet in Europe but Opel fulfills that role," he said in a copy of a speech.
"Recommendations that we 'cut and run' show you that some people simply do not see how important Opel is to our success," Akerson said.
Akerson has come under pressure from investors to divest or unwind Opel, which Morgan Stanley forecasts will post another $1 billion in annual operating losses on average through 2021 after $16 billion over the past dozen years.
While his number two, Steve Girsky, has defended Opel in public and called it "vital" to the operations of GM, analysts believed Akerson was open to a more radical approach given his minority view to sell Opel to Magna
"The fact is we lack economies of scale in critical areas and if we can achieve scale by partnering with PSA, that's what we are going to do," Akerson told Opel's workers, referring to French carmaker Peugeot
Earlier this week, people familiar with the matter said GM and Peugeot have halted talks on a deeper tie-up amid misgivings about the French carmaker's worsening finances and government-backed bailout.

Creating and preserving happy memories is what Buzzworthy Baby is all about. Buzzworthy Baby, formerly known as Baby Art, was started by Kris O'Neill in 1986 in the tiny back room of her house in Cadillac, MI. Kris loved the idea of a fun, colorful, personalized baby gift that people could hang in their child's nursery. Kris's unique approach was to seamlessly integrate information about every newborn into a colorful and versatile collage. The baby's name, weight, time and date of birth, siblings, parents, and other personal information could be preserved forever in a pictorial homage to the family's special day. At first, Kris gave the personalized prints away as gifts to friends and family members with new babies. However, once the "buzz" spread on her colorful and intricate designs, she started selling them to families near and far. Being featured at a Chicago gift show in 1989 led to Kris's artwork going viral, and soon, her designs were being sold in hundreds of stores across the nation. Employees were added and a move to a studio was necessary to quickly produce more prints. However, in 1994, the conflict between running a business and being an involved mother of her two sons, Kyle and Devin, caused Kris to close up shop, until the day the company could be reawakened. 18 years later, one of Kris's sons decided to rock the cradle. Intrigued by how many people had cherished his mother's artwork, entrepreneur Devin O'Neill spearheaded the business side of what he rechristened "Buzzworthy Baby." Today, Kris keeps the initial vision of Buzzworthy Baby alive, offering the same personalized and colorful collages, as well as seeking out more creative gift ideas for new and growing families. Meanwhile, Devin ensures that Buzzworthy Baby continues to provide the quality products his mother first made famous almost thirty years ago.

In a city that's already strapped for cash, Detroit is losing out on more money. On Friday, Kym Worthy's office was forced to layoff several prosecutors. Monday morning, she had nobody to send to 36th District Court for traffic or ordinance violations."This is uncharted waters for us. We know that the City of Detroit needs money, and we're one of those vehicles that in some way helps derive money for the City of Detroit," said 36th District Court Chief Justice Kenneth King. "Now those efforts are going to be hampered somewhat."City attorneys handle about 70 percent of the traffic and ordinance violations, but the other 30 percent are handled by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. On Monday, no one from the prosecutor's office showed up for the traffic court docket. Even worse, there was no coverage for the domestic violence docket."If you have a general public that does not feel safe, you have police officers that have been cut and working extra hours, and now you have a prosecution that's unable to man the courthouses, that's a recipe for disaster," King said.For King, the people of Detroit and Wayne County alike are losing. Justice is not being served."We're just here to administer justice and to make sure that it's done fairly, and that's kind of hard to do when I only have one side that's representing whomever," he said.So what now? There is a lot of finger pointing going on. I spoke with a representative of the executive's office, and the prosecutor's office released a statement. In short, Worthy says she needs more money. Ficano believes she should do a better job of appropriating the money she already has been given.King doesn't care who is to blame. He just wants someone to fix the problem."I hope that someone somewhere resolves this soon because I have enough things going on without adding this to the plate," he said.

You've heard this one and seen all those wonderful recipes using sea salt. I've been buying it under the impression it's healthier. It's a myth, table salt and sea salt have approx. 2,300 mg of sodium a tsp. Table salt gets no respect even though it has the iodine needed to support Thyroid hormones, plus it's cheaper.

They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are.

Phone: 212-556-1505
Amy Harmon is a national correspondent for the Times, covering the impact of science and technology on American life. She has won two Pulitzer Prizes, one in 2008 for her series, "The DNA Age," the other as part of a team for the series "How Race is Lived in America," in 2001.
Ms. Harmon's article "Autistic and Seeking a Place in an Adult World'' won the 2012 Casey Medal for excellence in reporting on children and families. She spoke about the (challenging) process of writing it at the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, and in a Q&A with The Open Notebook. Her story "Navigating Love and Autism'' won the 2012 feature writing award from the nation's best-named press club, The Society of the Silurians. A "My Little Pony" mixup in that piece earned Harmon a different kind of distinction, as the author of what some called "the best New York Times correction ever."
Autism has long been an interest of Harmon's. In 2004, she wrote about the rise of a "neurodiversity" movement and how the awareness of Asperger syndrome as a neurological condition brought relief to some adults after a lifetime of blaming themselves for their social difficulties. Currently Harmon is collecting examples of the intense special interests often held by individuals on the autism spectrum. If you have examples or stories about these, please send them to her at email@example.com.
Harmon is interested in all the ways science and technology shape how we live. She speaks frequently to audiences of scientists, students, parents and patients, and welcomes suggestions for good stories to pursue.
Harmon's career began at The Michigan Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Michigan, where she earned a B.A. in American culture in 1990. In her first journalism job, as a researcher in the Detroit bureau of The Los Angeles Times, she ordered fax paper and wrote about the declining American auto industry. In 1993, Harmon transferred to the paper's newsroom in Los Angeles, where she parlayed an incredible skill she had learned in college — sending e-mail — into a beat on the rise of the Internet as a social and business phenomenon.
Harmon joined The New York Times in 1997 and continued to cover the social impact of digital technology. In 2000, for her contribution to the Times' prize-winning series on race, she spent a year with two Internet entrepreneurs, one white and one black, and wrote about how race affected their business and friendship. It was her first experience with long-form narrative, which she has heard is entering a renaissance in the age of mobile devices (not a typo). She hopes it is true, since narrative nonfiction — specifically, suspenseful, immersive nonfiction in which the point is embedded in the story, rather than overtly explained — is what she loves most to report, write and read.
One of Harmon's tomes, "Facing Life with a Lethal Gene,'' was included in "The Best American Science Writing 2008,'' and in the 10th anniversary edition of the anthology, "Best of the Best American Science Writing,'' in 2010. Her article on the rise of robot companions was selected for the "Best of Science Writing 2011.'' Here is a video of her surreal interview with a humanoid robot.
Harmon has written about stealth labelers of genetically modified food, Twitter envy and the decline of science fairs. Her 2005 article about teenagers raised in different families who discover they are the genetic children of the same sperm donor led the anonymous donor to disclose his identity, and became the basis of an Independent Lens documentary that aired on PBS.
In 2008, Harmon profiled a Florida high school teacher teaching evolution to students raised to believe in the Bible as fact. In the wake of the BP oil spill in 2010, she followed a young fisherman deciding whether to break away from the imperiled livelihood that his family has engaged in for generations. In 2011, Harmon's "Target Cancer,'' series, about the human testing of a new kind of cancer drug, received the annual journalism award given by the National Academies of Science. Her story about two cousins randomly assigned to different arms of a clinical trial, with starkly different outcomes, influenced legislation designed to expedite the testing of such drugs.
Recently, Harmon has enjoyed experimenting with how video, audio and images can be used deepen a print narrative rather than distract from it. She was pretty proud that the clips she captured on her iPhone were used in the video that accompanied her story about a young couple on the autism spectrum trying to forge a romantic relationship. Next time she will be sure she shoots right-side up.

By Richard T. Griffiths and Aaron Cooper
Here's what we know about Saturday's crash landing of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 and some of the key questions raised by those facts:
1. Asiana said the pilot at the controls was making his first landing of a Boeing 777 at San Francisco International Airport. While a pilot with more than 10,000 hours of experience, he had only 43 hours of flying time in a 777.
What we don't know: Did pilot inexperience with the aircraft play a role? Why did the captain not speak up or take control?
2. A preliminary readout from the flight data and cockpit voice recorders shows the aircraft was approaching well below the target landing speed of 137 knots (157 mph). At seven seconds before impact, the pilots attempted to spool up the engines. At four seconds, the stall warning sounded. At 1.5 seconds before impact, the pilots tried to abort the landing. Passengers on board the aircraft describe the engines spooling up and the nose tilting up just before impact.
What we don't know: Why was the aircraft approaching so slowly? Did the pilot not realize he was short?
3. Flight tracking records show that Asiana Flight 214 descended from cruising altitude much more steeply and rapidly than previous Asiana flights on the same route
4. The instrument landing system approach on Runway 28L was not working on the day of the crash. It had been down for some time. Flights were landing using visual flight rules. The weather was clear.
5. The runway's precision approach path indicator lights, showing correct flight approach altitudes, were working.
What we don't know: Why didn't the pilot recognize he was too low for the approach and initiate a go-around earlier?
6. Based on the debris field and the video obtained by CNN, the aircraft appears to have struck the rock sea wall well before the start of the runway. There are some marks on the sea wall, consistent with an impact of some part of the plane. Some aircraft debris ended up in the water.
7. The debris field runs from the water, slightly right of the paved threshold and runway center, all the way to the stopped aircraft fuselage.
8. The Boeing 777 lost its tail section, including vertical and horizontal stabilizers, near the end of the paved threshold, just before the start of the runway.
What we don't know: Is this an indication the tail of the aircraft detached after first impact?
9. What appears to be the Boeing 777's right engine is detached from the wing and wedged against the right side of the fuselage. Another engine is a considerable distance from the fuselage in a grassy area to the right of Runway 28L. It appears to be the left engine.
10. Most of the fire damage to the aircraft occurred after the Boeing 777 came to a stop on its belly.
11. Passengers described the cabin interior as heavily damaged, with overhead bins dropping and at least one life raft/escape slide inflating inside the aircraft, trapping a flight attendant, whom passengers helped free.
12. The coroner says one of the two passengers killed appears to have been run over by an emergency vehicle. Asiana has identified the two deceased as Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia of China. Both were 16.
13. Audio recordings of air traffic control conversations show the pilot did not declare an emergency before the crash landing. Emergency vehicles were dispatched afterward.
14. The aircraft was built in 2006 and was purchased new by Asiana.

Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplant Survivors Face Long-Term Challenges
People who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HCT) and survive for at least 2 years remain at increased risk of premature death even 15 years after treatment, reports a new study published online August 1 in Blood. This group of survivors also faces long-term challenges affecting their overall health and well-being, including difficulty maintaining employment, as well as finding and retaining health and life insurance.
Advances in stem-cell transplantation "have made it a curative therapeutic option," explains Dr. Smita Bhatia, professor of population sciences at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center and lead author of the study. "We need to focus on the survivors. Half [of the cohort we studied] has survived longer than nine and a half years, and one thing that we have shown quite definitively is that these survivors continue to face challenges." Read more
Guest Update by Dr. Robert Croyle
The Imperative of Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates
A study published last October in Cancer modeled how different scenarios - each of which took into account changes in screening, risk factors, and optimal use of chemotherapy - would influence mortality rates from colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death. In every scenario, mortality was decreased by varying degrees over the next two decades, but in each case the most influential factor was improved screening rates.
It's a troubling fact, however, that colorectal cancer screening rates continue to lag well behind those for other cancers. This is discouraging given that, when caught early, colorectal cancer is highly curable.
The reasons behind this shortfall are complex, but there is widespread agreement that if significant improvements in colorectal cancer screening are to be realized, the primary care setting will be the most crucial contributor. Read more
Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplant Survivors Face Long-Term Challenges
People who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HCT) and survive for at least 2 years remain at increased risk of premature death even 15 years after treatment, reports a new study published online August 1 in Blood. This group of survivors also faces long-term challenges affecting their overall health and well-being, including difficulty maintaining employment, as well as finding and retaining health and life insurance.
Advances in stem-cell transplantation "have made it a curative therapeutic option," explains Dr. Smita Bhatia, professor of population sciences at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center and lead author of the study. "We need to focus on the survivors. Half [of the cohort we studied] has survived longer than nine and a half years, and one thing that we have shown quite definitively is that these survivors continue to face challenges."
These results come from long-term follow-up data from the Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor Study (BMTSS), which began in 2000 and comprises a cohort of 1,479 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT for cancers of the blood or for bone-marrow dysfunction at City of Hope or the University of Minnesota between 1974 and 1998.
Out of all patients who survived at least 2 years after transplantation, 21.6 percent had died by June 30, 2003. The probability of surviving was 86.6 percent at 5 years, 80.4 percent at 10 years, and 76.3 percent at 15 years from HCT. "Overall, premature death occurred 10 times more often than expected" compared to the general population, explain the authors. Treatment-related morbidities and chronic graft-versus-host disease accounted for 25 percent and 22 percent of the deaths, respectively.
Relative mortality compared with the general population was highest 2 to 5 years after HCT, but remained twice as high even 15 years after transplantation. Survivors had specific risks of mortality related to the effects of treatment on vital organ systems, including a 15.1 percent greater risk of death due to pulmonary dysfunction and a 2.3 percent greater risk of death due to cardiac complications.
To gather a clearer picture of the challenges to functional well-being faced by survivors, the investigators collected survey data from 547 BMTSS participants and 319 nearest-age siblings. Compared with the siblings, survivors were 14 times more likely to report a health problem preventing them from holding a job, 7 times more likely to report difficulty obtaining or retaining health insurance, and 10 times more likely to report difficulty obtaining or retaining life insurance. Survivors were also significantly less likely to be married compared with healthy siblings. "They're facing challenges re-integrating back into society," comments Dr. Bhatia.
"This population needs very specialized follow-up to look out for late effects or complications," she continued. "We either need to develop really good communications between the cancer-care and transplant teams and patients' regular physicians, or we need to have a mechanism available at the transplanting centers to follow transplant patients for life."
Dr. Julia Rowland, director of the NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship, agrees with these conclusions. "This report argues strongly for the need, which is being supported by the advocacy community, for survivors to receive a treatment summary at the end of their therapy and a care plan going forward," she said. "These documents would detail the type of cancer the survivor had, the treatments received, and potential problems for which she or he might be at increased risk as a result, and, importantly, outline recommended follow-up care. Together, they would serve as a guide for survivors and their health care providers in planning for future cancer surveillance and health care needs.
"A number of the complications identified in this study, both physical and psychosocial, potentially could be mitigated with early interventions. Thus, systematic follow-up, with timely identification and treatment of these complications, could enable us to further reduce the late morbidity and mortality for these survivors," Rowland concluded.By Sharon Reynolds
Guest Update by Dr. Robert Croyle
The Imperative of Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates
A study published last October in Cancer modeled how different scenarios - each of which took into account changes in screening, risk factors, and optimal use of chemotherapy - would influence mortality rates from colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death. In every scenario, mortality was decreased by varying degrees over the next two decades, but in each case the most influential factor was improved screening rates.
It's a troubling fact, however, that colorectal cancer screening rates continue to lag well behind those for other cancers. This is discouraging given that, when caught early, colorectal cancer is highly curable.
The reasons behind this shortfall are complex, but there is widespread agreement that if significant improvements in colorectal cancer screening are to be realized, the primary care setting will be the most crucial contributor.
Indeed, the colorectal cancer screening research portfolio supported by NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) includes many studies set in community and primary care settings, including those that focus on minority, low-resource, and underserved populations.
Since 2001, researchers from DCCPS and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have been collaborating to develop research to improve colorectal cancer screening in primary care practice. These researchers - led by Dr. Carrie Klabunde from DCCPS' Applied Research Program - have published a paper in the August Journal of General Internal Medicine (JGIM) that reviews the published literature for innovative strategies to improve colorectal cancer screening rates and, as importantly, identifies some of the knowledge gaps that should be considered high priorities for future research.
This review is particularly compelling because it uses recent recommendations from the Society for General Internal Medicine and American Academy of Family Physicians for a new primary care practice model as its frame. This influential model is built on six core elements: a team approach to care delivery, advanced information systems, patient-centered care, improved efficiency and quality of services, enhanced practice finances, and training opportunities.
Developing and reviewing strategies for screening improvements based on this new model will ensure their relevance to primary care practice. And, most of the strategies under investigation work well with this new model because they primarily target systems of care instead of the individual physician.
In the area of team delivery of care, for example, the JGIM review highlights studies that have shown how giving medical personnel other than the physician important responsibilities related to screening - including ordering tests and conducting telephone counseling - greatly increased fecal occult blood test rates. These results are consistent with the findings of other studies of preventive services and strongly support a multidisciplinary team approach in the primary care setting.
Use of electronic health records (EHRs) is also a subject of investigation. Studies have shown, for example, that these advanced information system tools allow medical practices to better track their patients' adherence to recommended screenings and automate activities like reminder calls. The JGIM review, however, underscored the sluggish adoption of EHRs and other advanced IT systems in primary care, and stressed that more research is needed to identify and help practices overcome the obstacles to adoption.
Nongovernmental organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, have played a key role in raising public awareness about the benefits of early detection. And we are confident that NCI- and AHRQ-funded research on colorectal cancer screening will generate useful interventions that will lead to more people receiving screening for this disease. The JGIM paper highlights innovative strategies as well as questions that must be answered to realize progress toward improving colorectal cancer screening rates - progress that could save many lives.
HPV Vaccine Not Effective for Treating Pre-Existing Infections
A vaccine developed to prevent infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV), the cause of cervical cancer, was found to be ineffective for treating women with pre-existing HPV infections, according to a study published in the August 15 Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study, a community-based, randomized trial of 2,189 women in Costa Rica, was conducted by NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) and Costa Rican investigators. The researchers found no significant difference in how quickly an HPV infection was cleared among those who received the HPV vaccine compared with the control group who received vaccinations for hepatitis A. At the 6-month follow-up visit, rates of viral clearance were 33.4 percent for women who received vaccines against HPV types 16 and 18 compared with a 31.6 percent rate among the control group. At the 12-month visit, rates of clearance in the HPV vaccine group were 48.8 percent versus 49.8 percent for the controls.
"The main finding of the study was to demonstrate that among women who are already infected, the HPV vaccine does not help accelerate the rate of viral clearance," commented Dr. Allan Hildesheim with DCEG. "Therefore, women who are infected with HPV should not take the vaccine to treat their infections or associated lesions." The study reinforces the importance of targeting HPV vaccination towards adolescent girls before they begin sexual activity "because that would maximize the benefit provided by vaccination," he added.
The study is part of a larger community-based clinical trial of 7,466 Costa Rican women. The larger study will address broad issues about the vaccine including efficacy, duration of protection, and global impact of vaccination on HPV and HPV-related disease. Among other questions, "the study will address whether vaccination is important for women who have previously been infected and have cleared the infection by themselves," said Dr. Hildesheim.
Drug Combination Shows Benefit in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Interim results from a phase III clinical trial suggest a new combination treatment should be another standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, according to the trial's leaders.
In the most recent survival analysis from the 646-patient trial, released early online on August 6 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) and bortezomib (Velcade) improved the median time to disease progression compared with bortezomib alone (9.3 months vs. 6.5 months) and yielded a superior 15-month overall survival rate (76 percent of patients in the combination group were alive at 15 months compared with 65 percent in the bortezomib-only group).
The results come 2 years after a phase III trial showed that bortezomib alone was superior to dexamethasone, another drug commonly used to treat all stages of multiple myeloma, and 1 year after a trial demonstrated that the combination of lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone was superior to dexamethasone alone in patients with refractory or relapsed disease.
The bortezomib/Doxil combination also increased the duration of response, reported the study's principal investigator, Dr. Robert Z. Orlowski from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and colleagues. However, the combination's benefits came at the expense of an increased risk of adverse events, including high-grade hematologic (e.g., neutropenia) and gastrointestinal (e.g., diarrhea, nausea) toxicities.
Based on the results of this trial, also known as the DOXIL-MMY-3001 study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the use of this combination for treating patients with multiple myeloma who have not previously received bortezomib and have received at least one prior therapy.
Irinotecan Not Effective in Adjuvant Therapy for Colon Cancer
Final results from a Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) trial show that irinotecan should not be added to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin in the adjuvant treatment of stage III colon cancer. In the CALGB 89803 trial, led by Dr. Leonard B. Saltz and colleagues at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, no survival benefit was seen in the adjuvant setting. These results appear in the August 10 Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"These results were unexpected," writes Dr. Neal Meropol of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia in a related editorial. "After all, CPT 11 [irinotecan] had previously shown clear activity in patients with metastatic cancer - the accepted proving ground for subsequent adjuvant therapies."
In previous trials, Dr. Saltz and others had found that adding irinotecan to 5-FU and leucovorin provided a modest but statistically significant improvement in survival compared to treatment with 5-FU and leucovorin alone in patients with metastatic colon cancer. Based on these findings, it was anticipated that the three-drug combination would also be effective when given after surgery to patients with less advanced disease.
"The report by Saltz et al. sends a strong message," said Meropol. "Randomized trials are necessary to prove the obvious, [because] history tells us that the obvious is often disproved."
Saltz and colleagues agreed. "The results of our trial demonstrate the dangers of jumping to conclusions before completion of the formal clinical trial assessment."In addition, combining irinotecan with 5-FU and leucovorin significantly increased treatment toxicity, including greater reductions in white blood cell counts and increases in infection, vomiting, and fatigue. More than 10 percent (65) of the 635 patients assigned to the irinotecan-containing arm had their treatment stopped because of an adverse event. Another 82 patients receiving the three-drug combination withdrew from the trial, more than twice the number of patients who withdrew from the 5-FU plus leucovorin arm. Within 60 days of entering the study, 14 patients receiving irinotecan died, compared to 5 in the 5-FU and leucovorin arm.

Testing Carbohydrates as Cancer Biomarkers
Like genes and proteins, complex carbohydrates - also known as glycans - may be altered as cancer develops. The goal of the new initiative is to identify panels of glycan-based biomarkers associated with early-stage cancers and validate the panels in clinical samples.
"Glycans represent one of the richest sources of potential cancer biomarkers," says Dr. Karl Krueger of NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP), who heads the project, called the Alliance of Glycobiologists for Detection of Cancer and Cancer Risk.
Glycans are sugars that are linked together, often forming complex branched-chain structures, and are bound to proteins and lipids, modifying the behavior of these molecules. Glycans have dominated the surfaces of cells for billions of years and are widely thought to mediate many biological processes.
One of the most promising cancer biomarkers in development today is a "glycoprotein" known as GP73. This marker for liver cancer is expected to undergo validation testing through NCI's Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) in the coming months.
EDRN is providing Alliance researchers with expertise on the critical process of validation, where many promising potential biomarkers have failed.
The trans-NIH Alliance includes the Consortium for Functional Glycomics, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), and several Glycomics and Glycotechnology Resource Centers supported by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).
Glycans are structurally more complex than DNA or proteins, and this has slowed efforts to study the molecules on a large scale. But recent advances in technologies, such as the development of glycan arrays, have made the initiative feasible.
"The core technologies are in place and this means that researchers can focus on discovering biomarkers rather than building infrastructure," says Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, head of NCI's Cancer Biomarkers Research Group, which is sponsoring the initiative.
The initiative is a critical piece of NCI's efforts in biomarker development, adds Dr. Srivastava. "Traditional methods of analyzing DNA and proteins cannot detect cancer-related changes involving glycans," he notes.
The President's Cancer Panel, a three-person advisory committee appointed by the President, oversees the National Cancer Program and reports directly to the President any delays or blockages in its rapid execution. Each year, the Panel holds a series of meetings and writes a report to the President on a chosen topic of concern in the cancer community. This year's report, Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: Policy, Program, and Personal Recommendations for Reducing Cancer Risk, examines the effects of obesity, diet and nutrition, physical activity, tobacco use, and tobacco smoke exposure on cancer risk. Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., Charles R. Drew Professor of Surgery at Howard University College of Medicine, has served as chair of the Panel since 2002 and was recently reappointed for a third term.
What did the Panel learn from its 2006/2007 series of meetings?
From experts in the tobacco field, we learned of mixed progress. For example, the number of Americans living in smoke-free municipalities is rapidly increasing, but at the same time, most state tobacco control programs are significantly underfunded. Speakers also emphasized the need to protect youth and other populations of special concern, such as racial and ethnic minority groups, the poor, and persons with mental illness, from the aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns of tobacco companies.
The Panel chose to focus on obesity and tobacco. Why did the Panel choose these two areas to examine?
What can governmental and nongovernmental organizations do to help individuals and families live healthier lifestyles?
Making Sense of Breast Cancer's Decline
The study describes changes in mammography screening, hormone therapy, and breast cancer incidence among women in the Kaiser Permanente Northwest health plan between 1980 and 2006.
The results link both mammography screening and hormone therapy to changes in breast cancer rates. But screening rates remained virtually constant from 1991 through 2006, leading the researchers to suggest that hormone therapy was responsible for the rise and decline of breast cancer rates since the early 1990s.
"The trends in hormone use go a long way toward explaining the fluctuations in breast cancer rates that researchers have been talking about for a long time," says Dr. Andrew Glass of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. He co-led the study with Drs. Robert Hoover and James Lacey of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).
The rates of women getting mammograms did drop slightly from 2000 to 2001 but rebounded in 2005 and 2006, according to findings in the August 1 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI).
Although the results are from a single population, the breast cancer rates among the Kaiser participants are nearly identical to statistics for the U.S. population.
"This study gives us one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date pictures of what's happening with breast cancer in the United States," says Dr. Lacey.
In the Kaiser population, breast cancer rates rose 26 percent from the early 1980s to early 1990s, paralleling increases in both mammography screening and hormone use. Rates then continued to rise but at a slower rate for another decade. This second rise parallels an increase in hormone use among the population at a time when mammography rates were stable.
After the health risks of taking estrogen-plus-progestin were revealed by the Women's Health Initiative study in July 2002, many Kaiser members, along with millions of other women, abandoned hormones. A sharp drop in breast cancer incidence among Kaiser members after 2003 paralleled a 75-percent drop in hormone therapy use in this population.
"Hormone therapy use was declining gradually in the period before the WHI results were announced," says Dr. Lacey. "People have focused on the dramatic 2003 drop in use, but some of the dynamics that led to the decline were in place earlier."
The researchers' observations are consistent with those from other studies, including some published and some still in press, note Drs. Donald Berry and Peter Ravdin of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the accompanying JNCI editorial.
"Hormone use remains an important public health issue," says Dr. Glass. "Millions of women are still taking hormones, and despite the research, some physicians believe these hormones are safe and effective and pose no harm to women."
The current study looked at time trends in practices and disease rates across the Kaiser population as a whole. Dr. Glass and his colleagues are developing plans to use the Kaiser database to link pharmacy, screening, and disease records for individual women. The results could potentially clarify whether women who stopped hormone therapy were less likely to get screened and less likely to be diagnosed with cancer.
The current Kaiser study, which is a follow-up to a 1990 study by Drs. Glass and Hoover, has produced clues to a complicated puzzle at a time when they are needed.
"What we have here is a good example of a natural experiment occurring over time," says Dr. Glass. "You can see the play of the different forces as they take hold."By Edward R. Winstead
Radiation Therapies to Treat Brain Metastases
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why This Trial Is Important
Whole-brain radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery are methods that have proven useful in treating brain metastases. In whole-brain radiotherapy, radiation is delivered to the entire brain in incremental doses over the course of a few weeks. In stereotactic radiosurgery, radiation is delivered in a higher single dose directly to the tumor, minimizing the exposure of normal brain cells to harmful radiation.
In this trial, doctors are comparing stereotactic radiosurgery alone with stereotactic radiosurgery followed by whole-brain radiotherapy. They want to determine whether adding whole-brain radiotherapy provides any benefit in terms of preventing additional metastases and how whole-brain radiotherapy affects patient quality of life and cognition.
"Upfront whole-brain radiotherapy is a proven method of preventing brain metastases, but its benefits may come at the cost of reduced cognitive abilities and quality of life," said Dr. Brown. "So the role of whole-brain radiotherapy in this setting remains controversial. With this trial, we hope to define its use in the treatment of brain metastases following radiosurgery."One recent development that we're excited about is a trial amendment that allows the use of pinless head systems to deliver the radiosurgery, which will open the study up to many more treatment centers."

The Breast Health Global Initiative's Guidelines for International Breast Health and Cancer Control are now available in Spanish. The guidelines were published in English in 2006 and address resources for early detection and access to care, diagnosis and pathology, treatment and allocation of resources, and health systems and public policy to reduce the burden of breast cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMCs).
The Spanish-language guidelines are intended to help policymakers and health care providers in Spanish-speaking LMCs improve breast cancer outcomes through evidence-based, economically feasible, and culturally appropriate practices. Russian, Chinese, and Arabic versions of the guidelines are expected soon. The guidelines can be found at http://www.paho.org/English/DD/PIN/pr070727.htm.
NCI Support Helps Researchers Recover from Hurricane Katrina
Two years ago, when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, the whole world saw the devastation to New Orleans and the surrounding region - the submerged streets, the flooded houses, the gaping levees. Less obvious, however, was the destruction of laboratories where hundreds of researchers were carrying out investigations into cancer and other diseases.
"Right after Hurricane Katrina, NCI organized a rapid response to try to place dislocated investigators and provide disaster relief supplements to allow investigators to rebuild their labs as quickly as possible," says Stephen White of NCI's Division of Cancer Biology and the Hurricane Katrina Relief coordinator for the Institute. "This was complicated by damaged communications lines and the displacement of many researchers and their laboratory employees. But, within a couple of weeks, NCI program directors had managed to locate and contact nearly all of our grantees and offer help and support."
Some researchers were hit harder than others, depending on their location. Some institutions lost electricity and suffered structural damage; the contents of freezers and incubators were rendered unusable. Other labs were completely flooded, resulting in the loss of equipment, cell lines, tissue samples, and data. In some cases, investigators were not able to enter their labs for 3 to 6 months because of mold and other contamination left by the storm.
NCI initially asked grantees to submit brief requests for relief funds as soon as they were able to determine the extent of losses and estimate immediate needs. Relief funding supported the replacement of supplies, reagents, chemicals, assay kits, lab ware, cell lines, animals, small equipment replacement and repair, computers and software, contracts for samples and databases, and patient enrollment costs.
NCI also established a policy on how to respond to requests and allocate resources. An award of $1 million was made to the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium and distributed equally between the Tulane University and the LSU Cancer Centers to support the replacement of lost equipment. Investigators holding grants with multiple years remaining were given initial supplements to recover immediate losses to their labs and the opportunity to request project extensions at the end of their project period, if needed.
"Within 6 months after the hurricane, we had heard from and responded to nearly all of our affected investigators," continues Mr. White. "In FY06 we made 29 relief supplements to active grants totaling about $4 million. For FY06 and FY07 combined, NCI has provided 37 relief supplements totaling $4.95 million."
NCI provided relief funds to grantees at Tulane University, LSU Health Science Center, University of South Alabama, Loyola University New Orleans, and Ochsner Clinic Foundation, and awarded a supplement to a contract with the Louisiana Tumor Registry.
Several grantees moved to new institutions in other states. NCI expedited transfers to these institutions and ensured that relief funds were distributed as quickly as possible.
"It's impossible to calculate the total damage resulting from Katrina," says Mr. White. "I'd say that many investigators lost at least a full year of research. The loss of basic and clinical data was phenomenal, but most of the investigators were able to resume their work either in New Orleans or in another city. I'm glad that NCI Director Dr. John Niederhuber, the Executive Committee, and other NCI staff were able to help them to do that and continue to support the recovery effort."By Barbara Cire

Well I just found out my husbands cousin is admitted into the hospital with PE, I thought she was almost at the end but I called and talked to her and she is only going to be at 27 weeks on Monday. Her protein levels are already up over 3000. She seems like she is in good spirits, she had it with her 1st baby then fine with her 2nd and now this is her 3rd... Its how I was as well. She was admitted into the same hospital I lost our little Anthon at 9 months ago and Im so worried for her. I did however make it till I hung up the phone with her till I started to cry. Trying to decide if I should go see her. Its so hard with these horrible diseases because only women who have experienced it really can understand especially with early diagnoses in the 20th weeks.
Guess I just needed to vent a little bit and ask for prayers for her and her little one.

Five years after its adoption, the REACH Regulation is still the most ambitious and comprehensive chemicals legislation in the world.
The aims of the legislation are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. The ECHA agency (European Chemicals Agency) was created to manage and coordinate the implementation of REACH on the EU and Member State level and to harmonise enforcement. REACH is complemented by the Classification and Labelling Regulation (CLP), which brings the EU in line with the UN-wide classification and labelling system for chemicals, which will ensure that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers.
The difficult economic outlook for all of us – Member States, the EU, and companies throughout Europe – requires the Agency to prioritise its work, taking account of its means i.e. its staff, the budget available from fees and from subsidies awarded by the European Commission. This prioritisation process is helped by the Agency's founding regulations, which often set clear deadlines by which work should be done. However, as there are still many areas in which subjective decisions need to be taken, the ECHA Board agreed upon four strategic aims which have guided the Agency in setting priorities for its activities in this multi-annual work programme:
ECHA is keen to hear your perspective on the strategic aims and on the priorities chosen for the coming three years.

50 predictions for Baltimore in 2014 [Pictures]
All of these things will totally happen. Maybe. We're not sure. But we're hoping.
Image 1 of 51
2014: The year that could be( MARK BLINCH / REUTERS / December 30, 2013 )
The new year brings lots with it: endless possibilities, those pesky resolutions (if you were expecting a "Resolutions you can master!" cover, you're in the wrong place), and remembering to write "2014" instead of "2013" when dating materials.
It also brings a lot of wondering. Will things get better? Worse? Stay mind-numbingly the same? People have questions, and lots of magazine and newspaper covers try to answer them by pretending to know exactly what will be in store.
You know, no one really knows. But we'll try. Call it wishful thinking on our part, but we think we've definitely nailed down the major highlights of 2014 in Baltimore -- everything from what will go down with the Orioles and Ravens to John Waters' next job (it's not what you think).
Hey, we could be wrong. But wouldn't it be nice if we weren't? -- By Jordan Bartel and Meekah Hopkins

Decoration on men's clothing in the eighteenth century could be highly florid, extravagant, exaggerated and flamboyant, mirroring in design the large-scale floral patterns popular for women's woven dress silks. This example has been lavishly embroidered with heavy chenille threads in a bold multi-coloured design, aimed to impress with colour and texture, and to draw the eye to the masculine chest below. The mid eighteenth century fashion-conscious male had no intention of being over-shadowed by his female companion!
Waistcoats like this were invariably embroidered "in the piece", that is as flat separate sections, which could then be assembled and stitched together to fit the individual wearer. For this quality of embroidery, the workers were often professional, frequently French, usually male, and highly skilled. Sometimes, however, experienced amateur female embroiderers also produced such items as a present for loved ones, to exhibit their needlework skills, and as a special token of affection. The pocket detail from another, but later, eighteenth century waistcoat, also shows superb embroidery.
