Hello...It's Jo from Jo's Country Junction. I was doodling during a long meeting one evening and came up with this quilt design, Peaks and Valleys. Once I got the quilt together then realized I wanted something a little more creative than my typical stippling for the quilting. Dawn, The Pajama Quilter, came to the rescue. She sent a video with a wealth of quilting ideas. I topped the quilt off with a strip border from the Salt Air Fabric line and wa-la...a finished quilt. The colors and prints are very kid-friendly, which makes it a perfect picnic or snuggle quilt for the whole family.
To cut out this quilt you will need a Tri Recs Ruler. Stop over to my blog, Jo's Country Junction, to sign up for a chance to win.
You will need a tri-recs ruler or a similar ruler that allows you to cut a triangle in a square block.
Fat Quarter Bundle of Salt Air
5 yards Moda Marble
3/4 yard stripe for binding
6.5 yards for backing
Before cutting I want to show you what the block looks like that we will be making.
We will be constructing "triangle in a square units" and coupling them with squares to create the block. Each block consists of:
4~ cream squares
4~colored squares
4~triangle in a square blocks with a colored center
4~triangle in a square blocks with a cream center
56 of these blocks are joined together to create the zig zag Peaks and Valleys design.
Working with this specialty ruler can be a bit tricky but very do-able.
Please note: There is a left and a right side to the small right angled triangles that are sewn to the center triangle.
From the cream background fabric:
Cut 48~ 3.5" strips.
Subcut: 232~ 3 1/2" squares
232 center triangles
232 right handed triangles
232 left handed triangles
Open the fat quarter pack and press the fat quarters. (I did not use the panel that looks like labels.)
Cut four 3 1/2" strips that are 18" long from 29 of the fat quarters.
Cut 8~ 3 1/2" squares.
Cut 8~ center triangles
Cut 8~ right handed triangles
Cut 8~left handed triangles
Now that everything is cut, let's start sewing. I sorted my left and right handed colored triangles into piles.
All seams are sewn at 1/4".
Take the cream triangles and add the left hand side piece like this.
Press the seam to the printed fabric to create this.
Add the right hand triangle next.
Press to the printed piece to create this.
Repeat to create 232 units. Repeat the process making units with a printed center and cream outer triangles creating 232 units.
Next add a square to each triangle unit as shown. Note that the center of the triangle is the color of square that is added. Make 232 units of each type. Press all seams to the point of the triangle.
Sew the units together in a line as shown. Press all seams to the point of the triangle.
Make 232 units.
The units now need to be sewn together to make blocks. To do that, arrange four of the strips together as shown.
Match the seams and sew. Press. Repeat to make 56 blocks. You will have some units left over. Save these to piece the backing.
Sew 8 blocks together in rows. Make 7 rows. Sew the strips together to create the quilt top.
To piece the backing sew the remaining units together into one long strip. Cut the backing in half. Sew a strip of backing to each side of the pieced unit. Press.
Sandwich top, batting and back.
Quilt as desired.
I quilted mine using the Pajama Quilter's flower and ribbons design for quilting in the cream area. I put evergreen type Christmas trees in the colored zig zags. It's free hand quilting. It's the most complicated design I've done but I love it.
Cut 9- 2 1/2" binding strips. Bind.
Make sure to stop by at my blog, Jo's Country Junction, to sign up to win one of the tri-recs rulers.

A security guard on patrol was shot and killed in Detroit. He was watching over GNB Optical on the city's west side when he became another victim of deadly gun violence.The 66-year-old guard was in his car when sources said a man tried to rob him."I heard three gunshots, and I was thinking that maybe it was a couple blocks away, but it was right down the street," one person said."They commenced to locking the doors, and they said no one could leave because a security guard had just been shot," another individual explained.The guard was fatally wounded, but he was able to fire one shot striking the suspect. The guard died at the hospital. Police arrested the suspect at the hospital. Unlike his victim, he is expected to survive, and plenty more are hoping this senseless violence comes to an end."It sucks when things like this can happen to you when you're just trying to do the right thing and make money to provide for your family. It's getting rough out here," one person remarked.

The Dawn of Personalized Oncology
Wherever I go, someone invariably asks, "Have we really made any progress against cancer?" My answer is, We definitely have - we have made tremendous progress.
I go on to explain how much more we know today than we did just a decade or two ago. We know that the tumor has a very significant and critical microenvironment in which it grows; that the normal-appearing cells of this microenvironment are genetically reprogrammed to support the growing tumor in the critical steps of invasion and metastasis. We know much more about mutations, changes in gene copy number, translocations, the re-expression of genes involved in embryogenesis, and the epigenetic suppression of other genes - and how these changes lead to the growth and spread of cancer.
This new knowledge is being determined and catalogued at a stunning rate, led by our research efforts in functional biology and by our work in genomics and transcriptional regulation. In addition, whole-genome scans that define regions associated with cancer risk are being identified, fine mapped, and sequenced. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project is actively sequencing actual patient tumors and finding new gene alterations associated with a specific cancer's development. Read more
Mobilizing National Drug Discovery
NCI's proposed Chemical Biology Consortium (CBC) will establish an integrated network of chemical biologists, molecular oncologists, and compound screening centers from government, academia, and eventually from industry. The program is being developed by NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), in conjunction with NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and the NCI Director's office, to facilitate the discovery and development of new agents to treat cancer.
"The long-term vision of the CBC is to bridge the gap between basic scientific findings - for example, The Cancer Genome Atlas and genome-wide association studies - and NCI-supported clinical research," noted DCTD Director Dr. James Doroshow.
Dr. Barbara Mroczkowski, special assistant to the DCTD director, is a project lead for CBC. She came to NCI after 15 years in industry. Read more
The Dawn of Personalized Oncology
Wherever I go, someone invariably asks, "Have we really made any progress against cancer?" My answer is, We definitely have - we have made tremendous progress.

In addition, whole-genome scans that define regions associated with cancer risk are being identified, fine mapped, and sequenced. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project is actively sequencing actual patient tumors and finding new gene alterations associated with a specific cancer's development.
Our newly acquired understanding of cancer is leading to specific, targeted therapeutic solutions and the dawn of an age of highly personalized cancer medicine. The future is upon us, and we are now designing precise therapies to home in on specific targets that result from genomic and functional changes, not only in the tumor cell but also in the tumor microenvironment. We are learning that the complexity of altered cellular communications will require the development of multi-agent treatment solutions, in contrast with single drugs. As a result, the future will require innovative strategies and partnerships - between academia, the public sector, and industry - to change the process of determining efficacy and safety, thereby speeding the progress from laboratory to patients. This is not an insurmountable challenge, but clearly is one that will require NCI's involvement and leadership at every step of the new paradigms.
As you will read in this special issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin, the National Cancer Institute and its partners are taking steps to enhance the process of drug development, from target identification to high-throughput screening; to chemical characterization and structural design optimization at the molecular target interaction; to testing in genetically engineered mice; to the design of mechanisms for monitoring in vivo activity. At the end of the process is translation into man.
The challenge now is to make sound prioritization decisions about which targets to pursue, and then to move them into a synchronized, efficient platform for development.
To support the critical first steps, a high-throughput screening resource to identify small molecules will complement NCI's Chemical Biology Consortium, a network of institutions that have formally agreed to collaborate in the early phases of the drug discovery process. This will be an integrated research consortium at the interface of chemical biology and molecular oncology - an iterative program in cancer drug discovery.
As potential drugs - small molecules, large molecules, and biologics - emerge, researchers will need to develop new ways to assess their efficacy and establish the proper dosages, given that targeted, selective agents may have an optimal dose much lower than the maximum dose a patient can tolerate. Likewise, we need to develop an improved clinical trials system, to better accommodate targeted therapies and accurately assess genomic changes in patients. The challenge in translation is optimally matching the tumor and therapeutic recipe. Proving the importance of these issues, they were front and center at a recent meeting sponsored by the National Cancer Policy Forum of the Institute of Medicine. Solving them is among NCI's top priorities.
So, have we really made any progress against cancer? Consider, if you will, that at several major cancer centers, researchers are currently developing the next phase of personalized care for lung cancer. After a diagnosis, in this new protocol, patients will have a tumor sample extensively analyzed for alterations in six or seven genes known to be critical in the disease. Patients will then be matched with targeted agents, based on the genetic defining of their tumor. As we move forward, this will be the pattern of treatment for all malignancies. Furthermore, the genetic characterization of patients, in a process termed pharmacogenomics, will greatly assist in determining correct dosages and avoiding unsuspected toxicity due to faulty metabolic pathways.
Indeed, we must take steps now to ensure that in the years ahead, targeted therapies are available for all types of cancer. NCI has the opportunity - the obligation, in fact - to connect and coordinate all components of America's cancer enterprise, to make sure this is an opportunity firmly grasped.
Dr. John E. Niederhuber
NCI's proposed Chemical Biology Consortium (CBC) will establish an integrated network of chemical biologists, molecular oncologists, and compound screening centers from government, academia, and eventually from industry. The program is being developed by NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), in conjunction with NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and the NCI Director's office, to facilitate the discovery and development of new agents to treat cancer.
"The long-term vision of the CBC is to bridge the gap between basic scientific findings - for example, The Cancer Genome Atlas and genome-wide association studies - and NCI-supported clinical research," noted DCTD Director Dr. James Doroshow.
Dr. Barbara Mroczkowski, special assistant to the DCTD director, is a project lead for CBC. She came to NCI after 15 years in industry.
"NCI has all this intellectual capital, all the investigators, and everything you need for the late-stage development of clinical compounds," Dr. Mroczkowski said. However, she found that "support for early phase 'discovery' of novel compounds that work against newly discovered molecular and genetic targets for cancer needed to be upgraded." NCI's leadership, in establishing the CBC, saw that there was a need to fill that gap.
NCI received an enthusiastic response to this idea from top-tier, nonprofit chemical biology compound screening centers in the United States, including many centers already participating in the NIH Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository program. "These centers have state-of-the-art, high-throughput screening capacity and have the capability and collections of thousands of compounds" that can be useful to CBC, said Dr. Mroczkowski.
The screening centers and other investigators are attracted by NCI's proposal to give CBC participants open access to the institute's late-stage drug development toxicology, pharmacology, and formulation resources, as well as the expertise of NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP). CBC members will also benefit from access to NCI's Center for Advanced Preclinical Research, which grew out of NCI's Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium efforts and uses genetically engineered mouse models.
In addition, the two NCI research divisions involved with CBC are hiring additional staff with expertise in the discovery field, including a new chemical biology branch chief in CCR and several medicinal chemists in DCTD. The program will benefit from active project management by NCI and its external advisory boards. CBC participants will be managed via a contract mechanism and the data and materials generated by individual members will be added to a centralized data and warehousing system and shared among all CBC members.
Management of intellectual property rights will be a critical factor in the success of CBC. "That issue has been very much at the forefront of our discussions," noted Dr. Doroshow, who explained that a Request for Information solicited feedback on this from potential partners. "We've created an intellectual property and data-sharing plan for CBC that the various investigators have to review and agree to as the basis for participating in the program," he added.
According to Dr. Joseph Tomaszewski, deputy director of DCTD and the NCI lead for this project, "NCI will issue a Request for Proposals through SAIC-Frederick to solicit contractors to participate in CBC later this year."
Until recently, cancer drug development has focused on cytotoxic compounds. These drugs kill cancer cells, but they can also kill normal cells, leading to the toxic side-effects of traditional chemotherapy. But recent leaps in understanding of the molecular events that drive a cell to become cancerous have led researchers to agents that specifically target molecular traits of cancer cells. Most targeted agents do not kill cancer cells. Instead, they stop them from growing.
Such targeted agents now make up the majority of anticancer drugs under development. "If you look at the current pipeline right now, not counting clinical development, it's probably two-thirds targeted agents and one-third traditional cytotoxic agents. Five years ago that ratio was reversed," says Dr. James Doroshow, director of NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD).
Targeted drug development presents a whole new set of challenges to researchers working on drug discovery. "If you're looking for a cytotoxic drug, then a compound that kills a tumor cell would be a candidate. With a targeted agent, you actually have to know what molecular pathway you're interested in in the first place," explains Dr. Joseph Tomaszewski, deputy director of DCTD. "You need a clear understanding of how disregulation or mutation of a target - for example, a protein or gene - has an impact on the formation, growth, and metastasis of various types of tumors."
DCTD and other divisions in NCI are responding to the need for newer screening techniques designed specifically for targeted agents. One project is extending the capabilities of the NCI-60 cell screen, which has been used for more than 15 years to screen for cytotoxic compounds. "We're trying to understand how new [targeted] drugs affect the expression of a large number of genes in those cells - say, 30,000 genes across 50 or 60 different cell types; that is, we're trying to understand whether we can use the NCI-60 as a functional genomic screen" to understand how new drugs affect cancer cells on a molecular level, explains Dr. Doroshow.
Through NCI's Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (NCI-MMHCC), NCI is building relationships and developing private partnerships to further the use of mouse models in preclinical testing of agents from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
"A number of companies are providing their lead compounds to Consortium laboratories to test them in a variety of cancer models," says Dr. Cheryl Marks, associate director for NCI's Division of Cancer Biology and the NCI-MMHCC program director. "This is one way to familiarize the private sector with use of genetically engineered mice in their preclinical research. The goal is to enable the companies to identify tumor sites that would be the most promising choices for phase II and III clinical trials."
Another major need in targeted drug development is for reliable, reproducible pharmacodynamic measurements - measurements of how drugs are affecting the molecular workings of cells in the body. "A lot of the pharmacodynamic assays that scientists have been using for years work to a certain extent but have not been rigorously developed and standardized. As a result, you do not have absolute confidence in the data," says Dr. Tomaszewski. "We've embarked on creating more standardized assays that will allow us to make earlier decisions about whether or not we're having an impact on a target; and in that way, you can establish at an earlier stage whether you will continue down the development pathway or not continue with a particular agent. Once you move beyond the preclinical efforts, you're spending a tremendous amount of money. If your drug fails late in phase III studies, it wastes a tremendous amount of resources."
The proprietary, one-at-a-time approach to developing safe agents for specific diseases has produced hundreds of drugs in the last 50 years. But those numbers are meager compared to what the future holds.
The laboratory of Dr. Stuart Schreiber, the Harvard-trained organic chemist and founding professor at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, has created a powerful, revolutionary method of synthetic chemistry to actually reach the goal of targeting cancer dependencies - diversity oriented synthesis. "It's likely that many of the proteome's 100,000 proteins have multifunctional roles in cancer, and it follows that molecules that control them will yield a therapeutic benefit," he says.
In 2002, the NCI Office of Cancer Genomics selected Dr. Schreiber's lab as a center in the Initiative for Chemical Genetics (ICG). As the number of useful small molecules they could develop became apparent, a more comprehensive strategy began to coalesce into a new field altogether, known as chemical biology. The ICG essentially provides a national laboratory for high-throughput, small-molecule screening, and has generated and analyzed data for more than 100 different research groups.
Another open-source, data-sharing model Dr. Schreiber has developed is ChemBank, a public, Web-based informatics environment to facilitate chemical genetics.
Chembank provides life scientists access to tools that are associated with private sector industry, and to data from hundreds of biomedically relevant assays that link the states of healthy and diseased cells to more than 700,000 small molecules. This kind of community resource, Dr. Schreiber believes, "enables the drug-hunting community to become more than the sum of its parts."
NCI supports a large number of clinical trials through its divisions, from first-in-man studies to phase III trials. The DCTD Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP), for example, currently oversees more than 800 clinical trials evaluating new treatments for patients with all forms of cancer, and "is the institute's primary vehicle for conducting definitive, practice-changing clinical trials," says DCTD Director Dr. James Doroshow.
The Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP), which supports clinical trials of agents that may help prevent cancer from developing, also manages the extramural Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) - a network that enables patients and physicians to participate in prevention, treatment, and supportive care clinical trials in their local communities. NCI even sponsors clinical trials in foreign countries, such as a phase III HPV vaccine trial in Costa Rica that is testing the ability of virus-like particle vaccines, originally developed by CCR investigators, as a means of preventing cervical cancer.
Indeed, the intramural program is a testing ground for strategies that can improve clinical testing overall. One of the latest is phase 0 trials. Conducted mostly at the NIH Clinical Center and a few select cancer centers, "Phase 0 allows you to answer very important questions rather than relying on the answers that you've received from animals, which don't always predict what happens in humans," says Dr. Doroshow. These trials, therefore, give a good estimate of whether a drug is worth advancing into phase I and phase II trials, which require a much greater supply of investigational agent, more patients, and more clinical resources.
A common measure of action for conventional chemotherapy has been whether or not a drug kills cancer cells and, therefore, shrinks tumors. Using these criteria, however, many of today's targeted agents would appear not to work. And yet the clinical trials show that they do. For this reason, some researchers are beginning to think about progression-free survival as a worthy endpoint for targeted agents. The monoclonal antibody bevacizumab was recently approved for use in breast cancer based on this endpoint.
Scientists are also exploring how new advances in cancer imaging can be used to measure whether a targeted drug is doing what it should. "In the future we will have targeted therapeutic molecules that, with minor modification, can be imaged to show where they go in the tumor, or if they actually reach the tumor," says Dr. Doroshow. This will open new possibilities for accurate and noninvasive assessment and make the clinical trial experience more patient-friendly and effective.
The last two decades have included a number of successful partnerships between NCI and industry, leading to the development of highly effective cancer therapeutics like paclitaxel (Taxol) and bortezomib (Velcade). Such collaboration is by no means rare. A number of existing NCI programs, including the RAID program and the NCI-60 Screening Project, already facilitate collaboration between NCI and industry.
But, as the institute becomes more of an enabling platform for the translation of new therapeutics from the lab to the clinic, innovative efforts have been launched that both directly and indirectly allow NCI and the private sector to cooperate.
"We now have 100 trials like this going forward, being performed in academic medical centers," Dr. Doroshow said during a recent seminar for medical reporters. "There are very few examples of a single academic site bringing together [companies with] two investigational agents…Anything we can do to speed up [the negotiation] process will speed up the overall development process."
Another new initiative is a funding mechanism for small businesses developing promising new anti-cancer therapies and cancer imaging technologies. With funding from venture capital companies and so-called "angel investors" becoming more difficult for small businesses to secure, NCI's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program has developed Phase II Bridge Awards to help small businesses fund the work needed to traverse the so-called "valley of death": the period between the completion of early basic and preclinical research and later stage human studies, including phase I and II clinical trials.
The Bridge Award, explains NCI SBIR Director Michael Weingarten, encourages partnerships between NIH's SBIR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners that have significant prior experience in the commercialization of emerging technologies. To encourage partnerships with third-party investors, the SBIR Program expects the Bridge Award amount to be matched by non-federal funds. Modeled after a highly successful program developed by the National Science Foundation, the Bridge Awards, Mr. Weingarten says, are an ideal way for NCI to "incentivize early collaboration." Applicants must have previously received a SBIR Phase II award from the NIH.
The institute's leaders also believe NCI's Experimental Therapeutics program will expand NCI's ability to collaborate with industry partners in improving drug development. The program's aim is to use very small phase 0 human trials to shorten the time needed to move the most promising investigational agents into larger phase I human clinical trials. The first such trial, a partnership with Abbot Laboratories, was highly successful, demonstrating that the drug was hitting its molecular target, and identifying a biomarker to measure target inhibition without having to do repeated tumor biopsies.
That single trial, says Dr. Jerry Collins, associate director of NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program, "has turned around opinions on the outside dramatically. It's one thing to deal with the abstract concept of a phase 0 trial. It's another to have a specific example that demonstrates it."
Breast Cancer Relapse Risk Low after Chemotherapy or Tamoxifen
Relatively few breast cancer survivors who are disease-free for 5 years after starting a systemic adjuvant therapy such as chemotherapy or tamoxifen experience a recurrence, but preventive treatments are needed to reduce the relapse rate further, according to a study published online August 11 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Abenaa Brewster of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and her colleagues tracked breast cancer recurrence in 2,838 women treated with chemotherapy, tamoxifen, or both, between 1985 and 2001. The disease recurred in 7 percent of survivors diagnosed with stage I breast cancer, 11 percent of women treated for stage II disease, and 13 percent of women with stage III disease.
Along with stage of cancer, tumor grade, hormone-receptor status, and endocrine therapy were associated with risk of recurrence. Overall, however, 89 percent of the study population did not experience a recurrence at 5 years (approximately 10 years after a woman's initial diagnosis), and 80 percent did not experience a recurrence at 10 years (approximately 15 years after diagnosis).
While the overall results should be encouraging for patients, the study also highlighted the need to develop risk-reduction strategies for premenopausal breast cancer survivors, the researchers note. Extended adjuvant therapy with letrozole (Femara) is available for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive tumors who have completed 5 years of tamoxifen therapy. But nothing similar is available for premenopausal women.
A limitation of the study is that it did not include women who received adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab (Herceptin) or 5 years of an aromatase inhibitor. Data were not available on HER2/neu status, and few women in the group received an aromatase inhibitor.
Novel Monoclonal Antibody Effective in Some Relapsed NHL Patients
Treatment with a novel type of monoclonal antibody that attracts powerful immune-system cells to cancer cells has caused tumor shrinkage and disease remission in some patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who had relapsed after previous treatments, according to the results of a phase I clinical trial.
Published August 15 in Science, the results from these 38 patients show that small doses of the bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody, called blinatumomab, not only induced partial and complete responses in some patients, but could eliminate cancer cells in the bone marrow, thought to be an important source of NHL relapse. Overall, the seven patients treated with the highest dose used in the trial had tumor regression, wrote the study's lead author, Dr. Ralf Bargou from the University of Wurzburg in Germany, and colleagues. Disease regression in one patient has lasted longer than 13 months, and three others have had regressions that lasted 6 months or longer. "No relapse has thus far been observed in responding patients treated with blinatumomab at dose levels of 0.03 and 0.06 mg/m² per day," the study authors wrote.
The antibody works by attaching to target cells - in this case, lymphoma cells - and then attracting T cells that then become activated and destroy cancer cells via a process known as lysis. Blinatumomab was developed by Bethesda, MD-based Micromet Inc., and is being taken through clinical testing in conjunction with another Maryland-based biotechnology company, MedImmune.
The doses used in the trial, explained study co-author and Micromet Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Patrick Baeuerle, "are approximately five orders of magnitude lower than serum levels needed by conventional monoclonal antibodies for achieving tumor regression in this disease. This may relate to the high anti-tumor activity of cytotoxic T cells recruited by blinatumomab."
Several other BiTE antibodies are in early clinical testing for other cancer types.Cord-Blood Transplant into Bone Restores Blood Counts
In a preliminary clinical trial, most patients with acute leukemia who received a cord-blood stem cell transplant through an injection directly into the iliac crest of the pelvic bone, experienced complete hematologic recovery - a restoration of normal white blood cell and platelet counts, produced by the donor stem cells - within an average of 36 days.
Previous clinical trials testing cord-blood stem cells delivered intravenously have shown that intravenous transplants fail in about 20 percent of patients. The current trial, published online August 9 in Lancet Oncology, tested whether cord-blood transplantation (which provides a lower number of stem cells than bone-marrow transplantation) would be safe and more successful if delivered directly into the bone marrow, where blood cells form.
The investigators, led by Dr. Francesco Frassoni of San Martino Hospital in Genoa, Italy, enrolled 32 patients who were eligible for bone-marrow transplantation but could not find an HLA-matched donor. After conditioning chemotherapy with or without radiation, all patients received a cord-blood transplant into the left iliac crest, the right iliac crest, or both sites. All patients received immunosuppressive drugs to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).
Four patients died within 12 days of the transplant, and one patient died 30 days after the procedure, before platelet restoration. The remaining 27 patients regained normal blood counts, regardless of whether they received the injection in one or both sites, and 45 percent survived at least 1 year after transplantation. Other studies using intravenous transplantation have shown platelet recovery rates of only 40 percent to 70 percent at 100 days after transplantation.
None of the participants developed high-grade acute GvHD. Other studies have shown the incidence of GvHD with intravenous cord-blood transplant to be between 35 percent and 45 percent.
The authors caution that their findings will need to be confirmed in larger studies that follow patients for a longer period of time.
Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Rates Rise in Men and Women
A new study confirms that the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has risen over the last 3 decades in white men in the United States, and it indicates a similar increase in incidence among white women. Esophageal cancer is still fairly rare, however, with projections of fewer than 16,500 new cases in 2008.
The study - conducted by NCI researchers using information in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from nearly 23,000 white patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer between 1975 and 2004 - showed that incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has increased by more than 460 percent in white men and 335 percent in white women. The number of esophageal adenocarcinoma diagnoses among African Americans and those of other races in the registry was too low to conduct a meaningful analysis, noted Dr. Linda Morris Brown and colleagues from NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics online August 11 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The increased incidence spanned all ages and stages of disease, they found. "However, the rate of increase may be slowing, especially for localized disease," they continued, "indicating that the overall increase in adenocarcinoma incidence is unlikely to reflect heightened surveillance and earlier diagnosis."
Findings from previous studies, they noted, "indicate that increases in obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, may account for part of the upward trend in the incidence of adenocarcinoma." Obese individuals are more prone to developing gastroesophageal reflux disease, a well-established risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is also on the rise in the United States. The decreasing frequency of infections with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which may provide some protection against a precursor condition for esophageal adenocarcinoma known as Barrett esophagus, may also play a role, they wrote.
Suicide Risk Higher in Cancer Patients than the General Population
The incidence of suicide among U.S. cancer patients is nearly twice that of the general population, and suicide rates vary among patients with cancers of different anatomic sites, according to a study published online August 11 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO). The risk remained elevated for as long as 15 years after diagnosis.
Researchers from the University of Washington analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from nearly 3.6 million patients diagnosed with cancer from 1973 to 2002. They compared those data, which included 5,838 suicides, with data from the U.S. general population collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. The cancer patients had an adjusted rate of 31.4 suicides per 100,000 person-years, compared with 16.7 suicides in the general population. Suicide rates were particularly high for cancers of the lung/bronchus (81.7), stomach (71.7), oral cavity/pharynx (53.1), and larynx (46.8).
Two other studies that examined the association between cancer and suicide appear in the same issue of JCO. The second study, using data from Medicare patients in New Jersey, found that the "risk of suicide in older adults is higher among patients with cancer than among patients with other medical illnesses, even after psychiatric illness and the risk of dying within a year were accounted for." A third study of cancer center patients in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, found, "A substantial number of cancer outpatients report thoughts that they would be better off dead or had thoughts of hurting themselves."
In an editorial, Dr. Timothy Quill of the University of Rochester Medical Center, noted, "What is interesting and potentially important about the studies is that these thoughts about suicide and the associated risk factors that are relatively well known for terminally ill patients may be just as important for those patients with cancer who are survivors or are living with the disease."
Vitamin C Injections Slow Tumor Growth in Mice
Injecting high doses of vitamin C into mice with aggressive cancers slowed the growth of their tumors significantly without affecting normal tissues, researchers are reporting. While the potential anticancer effects of vitamin C (also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid) have been studied for decades, the new findings provide "a firm basis" for advancing vitamin C as a pharmacologic agent for treating human cancer, they write in the August 5 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
To test vitamin C injections, Dr. Mark Levine of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and his colleagues delivered high doses of ascorbate into the veins or abdominal cavities of mice with aggressive forms of brain, ovarian, and pancreatic tumors. The injections reduced tumor growth by approximately half compared with xenografts in untreated mice.
The delivery method appears to be critical for efficacy. When vitamin C is taken orally, the body prevents blood levels of ascorbate from exceeding a narrow range. This may explain why two previous NCI-sponsored clinical trials found no survival benefit from vitamin C given orally. Although scientific interest in vitamin C for cancer diminished after the second study appeared in 1985, some complementary and alternative medicine practitioners have continued to administer high doses of ascorbate to cancer patients.
The new findings suggest that hydrogen peroxide formation, a result of the ascorbate treatment, is responsible for the anticancer activity. Thus, the study provides a much-needed biological rationale for testing the strategy in patients, notes an accompanying editorial.
The vitamin C treatments did not cure the mice, so the study authors suggested that high doses of intravenous ascorbate should be studied in combination with other cancer therapies in humans.

CDC: Childhood Obesity Rates Decline
There's some positive news in the battle against childhood obesity. A new federal report released Tuesday says obesity rates among low-income preschoolers actually declined between 2008 and 2011. The drop occurred in 19 of 43 states and territories measured by the Centers for Disease Control and Control. The CDC says a decade-long effort by communities, governments and businesses to focus on diet and exercise may be beginning to pay dividends. Childhood obesity rates declined the most in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Missouri, South Dakota and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

By Joshua Rhett Miller - FOX News
A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to
complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the
latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious
solutions to the problem of gun violence.
The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville,
would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and
the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management
courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger
management courses every 10 years.
"This is not about guns," Gibson said. "This is about ammunition and
not only for the safety of the general community, but also for the
safety of law enforcement."
Gibson said she's concerned with citizens stockpiling ammunition,
potentially creating dangerous situations should those individuals ever
come in contact with law enforcement agencies or criminals.
"It's about getting people to think, really, about how much
ammunition they need," Gibson said. "It's a step, I think, in a safer
direction. It's about getting people to think before they buy."
Gibson insisted the bill is not "accusatory" toward gun and
ammunition owners, but rather an effort to improve the safety of her
community. She recalled the death of a Jacksonville man, Jordan Davis,
17, who was fatally shot during a confrontation with another man in
November. Michael David Dunn, 46, of Satellite Beach, has pleaded not
guilty to first-degree murder in the case.
Gibson first announced her intentions to introduce such legislation
last month during a rally for Davis, saying "people are just not as
patient as they used to be," according to the Florida Times-Union.
"We see the rage on the road all the time," she continued Wednesday. "People are just more impatient, I don't know what it is."
Gibson's bill does not offer a threshold for the amount of ammunition
needed to necessitate the need for anger management courses.
"It is unlawful to: A) Sell ammunition to another person who does not
present certification that he or she has successfully completed an
anger-management program consisting of at least 2 hours of online or
face-to-face instruction in anger-management techniques," the bill
reads. "The certification must be renewed every 10 years. B) Purchase or
otherwise obtain ammunition by fraud, false pretense, or false
Those in violation of the bill, if passed, would face a second-degree
misdemeanor charge. Anyone found in violation a second time within a
year of a prior conviction would face a first-degree misdemeanor charge.
Critics of the bill, however, derided the legislation as "absolutely
ridiculous" and suggested that Gibson take a course on the U.S.
"When I first saw it, I thought it had to be a joke," said Sean
Caranna, executive director of Florida Carry, a nonprofit group
championing the right to bear arms. "They're trying to say that anyone
who owns a gun or shoots a gun or has ammunition for it needs counseling
and obviously has some anger problems."
Caranna said he was disappointed that Gibson wasted her time on the
bill instead of focusing on other issues like jobs or the state's rate
of foreclosures, which is the highest in the nation.
"We've got a lot of issues that should be the focus of these bill
slots with limited filing, but instead we put in something as ridiculous
as this," he said. "I don't see a planet where this passes. This is an
attempt to grab attention – it has to be. And that's really
Jon Gutmacher, an Orlando attorney and author of "Florida Firearms:
Law, Use & Ownership," told FoxNews.com that the bill would almost
certainly be found to be unconstitutional based on prior restraint.
"It has no reasonable relationship to anything," he said. "There has
to be a reasonable basis to believe that a person had a substantial
anger problem that could cause public harm."
Gutmacher said he found the bill to be an "insult" to any gun owner in the Sunshine State.
"It's absurd on its face," he continued. "And anyone who proposes
that legislation is in my mind unfit for the legislature because it
shows a basic problem with their thinking process, aside from their lack
of understanding of what the Constitution is all about. That's the kind
of bill that doesn't even get past committee."

Luceplan Honeycomb 6 Light LED Suspension Lamp
We are sorry, we have no reviews to displayWrite the first review
In 1978 Paolo Rizzato, Riccardo Sarfatti and Sandra Severi, who had been together at the Politecnico University in Milan, founded Luceplan, concentrating initially on the design and making of prestige interior lighting. Luceplan specialized in projects for particularly challenging and high quality situations and locations, including numerous historic buildings.
Luceplan continued to forge ahead by insisting on a clear idea of a business in which design is not "styling", that is to say not "added design", but rather the outcome of a continuous and coordinated exchange of different company functions. In the projects which Luceplan puts into production, there is a constant search for artistic simplicity as the solution to complexity.
Luceplan lighting immediately conveys a sense that they are the product of inspired, incessant research. Impervious to the dictates of fashion, these artistic strokes nevertheless reflect contemporary trends and elements. Luceplan is dedicated to promoting experimentation, innovation and technology, improved performance standards, inventiveness and beauty.

SPOKANE, Wash. - It has now been three years since the disappearance of Heather Higgins. All anyone knows is someone saw Heather leave her apartment on the lower south hill September 20, 2010. Heather got in a car with somebody and took off. That was the last time she was seen.
"I believe that somebody knows something and they need to come forward," Higgins Mother Jackie Forney said.
The last three years have been, without question, the hardest years of her mother's life. Forney has spent everyday thinking about her daughter and every free minute looking for her.
"Anybody that's a parent would know what I'm talking about. You know that you're never going to stop looking, you can't," Forney said with great emotion. "You just keep looking and that's just what you do. Some people say I can't believe how diligent you've been and I just say I'm a normal mom, it's what we do."
The Spokane Police Department says that Major Crimes continues to actively investigate the case. The police are investigating the disappearance as a homicide. SPD Communications Director Monique Cotton added that due to the sensitivity of the case, unfortunately they cannot release a lot of details at this point.
Forney has not given up hope.
"It takes a village of caring people to help find missing people," Forney said. "I say to people if you were lost and needed to be found would you not want people to be looking for you and to come rescue you?"
She's started a facebook page, "Missing In The Inland Northwest" where people post information and leads about different missing persons cases in the region. You can find a link here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Missing-People-In-The-Inland-Northwest-Lets-Bring-Them-Home/197813900260047
If you have any information about Heather Higgins disappearance that could help heal the broken heart of her family and friends, please call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.

4 chicken thighs
your favorite chunk of ham
soy sauce
Italian seasoning, garlic powder, season salt for chicken, lemon pepper
1/2 cup of beer
1/2 cup apple juice
Melt butter in hot sauce and mix in soy sauce, then use flavor injector for chicken thighs. Pull back skin on thighs and insert butter and sprinkle in your spices. Apply spice rub mix liberally over skin as well. When coals are ready on grill separate for indirect heat. You want to achieve a temperature of 350 to 400. Place chicken thighs directly on grill over coals for 5 minutes a side to achieve some grill marks. Take chicken thighs off grill after 10 minutes and place in foil tray with ham pieces. Add beer and apple juice. Cover foil tray with more foil and poke top a few times with fork. Cook ham and thighs on grill away from coals or 45 minutes to an hour depending on thickness of chicken. Serve with your favorite sides and it is an awesome meal!

(WMC-TV) - New technology will give a Mid-South duck another chance at walking.Buttercup, a duck from Bartlett, was born with an inverted foot that had to be amputated. He used to get around with a peg leg.Mike Garey, who works for a waterfowl sanctuary, thought of using 3-D technology to give the duck a new foot. Soon Buttercup will have a structurally strong and flexible leg to get around."I just kind of thought let me think out of the box and come up with why can't I just make him a real foot?" he said.Buttercup's sister, Minnie, modeled her foot so Garey could create a 3-D computer image. NovaCopy in Nashville donated their 3D printing services to produce a plastic replica."The printing of his foot that I needed to make the mold took 13 and a half hours to print. So it's a pretty slow process," said Garey.Buttercup's model is made of hard plastic. Garey will use it to cast a mold and make him a more flexible version that will slip onto his leg just like a boot."Buttercup's unique, he's unique, like the rest of them, and you know it's worth doing. It's worth doing to help him out," he said.The duck should have his new foot just in time for his national television debut on the Today show.

The countdown is on in Pullman, Washington, as the Cougars will host
their first Pac-12 game at Martin Stadium. WSU welcomes in 4-1 Oregon
State on Saturday for a battle that could have major bowl implications
down the road.
Here's a breakdown of the top comparisons for Saturday's game:
Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion is only a junior, but why does it feel like he's a 6th year
senior? The numbers are probably part of the reason. He's caught fire
in his first five games of the season, throwing for a Pac-12 leading
403.6 yards per game and a remarkable 21 touchdown passes. The junior is
completing two-thirds of his passes, and in a total of 238 attempts
he's only thrown two interceptions.
Washington State's Connor
Halliday may lead the league in toughness, but his numbers don't quite
stack up to Mannion. Halliday is 65% of his throws for an average of
332.2 yards per game. The junior even has 13 touchdown passes already,
but the biggest difference is turnovers.
Halliday is at the top
of the Pac-12 for interceptions, throwing ten picks in six games. Connor
can throw with the best of them, but an ill-advised throw has become
too common when watching the Cougars. A decision like that versus the
Beavers could make the difference. It certainly did last year, when OSU
picked off Halliday three times, leading to a Jeff Tuel appearance, and
an eventual WSU loss.
hard to look past Oregon State here mostly because of Brandin Cooks.
The junior leads the Pac-12 in receiving touchdowns with nine,
receptions per game with 10.4, and receiving yards per game with 161.4.
Compare that to the top Cougar wide receiver Gabe Marks. The sophomore
averages 6.8 receptions and 79.7 yards per game. Cooks nearly doubles
Even Cooks' teammate Richard Mullaney is in the top 11 for
Pac-12 receivers, averaging five receptions for nearly 80 yards per
game. Unquestionably, the Beavers sport one of the top wide receivers
pairs in the league. In terms of a unit though, the Cougars might have
the advantage.
WSU sports 11 different players with ten or more
receptions so far this season, compared to OSU's seven. That list for
the Cougars includes six different receivers who have 180 yards or more
this season. Oregon State only sports three receivers with 180 yards.
Beavers might have the top two, but anyone on the receiving end of a
Connor Halliday pass can be a threat. A prime example is WSU's Vince
Mayle. The freshman only has 11 receptions this season, but four of
those have gone for touchdowns, including a 72 yard touchdown pass last
Saturday against Cal.
- Receiving Edge goes to WSU -
biggest thing when you compares these numbers is that OSU has only
played in five games, while WSU has played in six. The Cougars lead the
Pac-12 in interceptions with nine on the year. The Cougar defense has
also forced five fumbles, 11 sacks, and 40 tackles for loss.
In a
game less, Oregon State ranks second in the Pac-12 with eight
interceptions, along with a fumble, 12 sacks, and 36 tackles for loss.
More or less, the numbers are identical.
terms of leaders, safety Deone Bucannon anchors the Cougar defense,
while the Beavers also have a safety leading their charge with junior
Tyrequek Zimmerman. Both players lead their team in tackles, with
Bucannon tied atop the Pac-12 with four interceptions.
Outside of
OSU's Zimmerman though, his teammate Steven Nelson has also picked off
four balls in just five games and lineman Scott Krichton averages about
two tackles for loss per game.
Bucannon might be the best on the
field, but the Beavers might have more weapons, especially ones who can
pressure quarterback Connor Halliday.
- Defensive Edge goes slightly to Oregon State -
paper this game looks like it will be a high-scoring affair with little
things making the difference. Special teams could be that difference
with a return for a touchdown or field goals.
The punting edge
might go to OSU with Keith Kostol already booming six punts of over 50
yards this season. WSU's Mike Bowlin has struggled at times this year,
especially versus Stanford. Neither team can afford to give the other
offense good field position.
In terms of kickers, it's WSU's
Andrew Furney versus OSU's Trevor Romain. Furney has made 8-10 for FG's,
including 5-6 from 40 yards plus. While for the Beavers, Romain is 6-8
for FG's, going just 1-3 from kicks 40 yards or longer. Furney also
struck a perfect 23-23 on PAT's, compared to Romain's 22-23.
Throw in the fact that Furney is a senior compared to the junior Romain, and the edge might go slightly to the Cougars.
returns, neither team has a return for a touchdown this season, but as a
team WSU holds a slight yards advantage in kickoff returns and punt
One other factor to think about is blocked kicks. Both
teams have one this year, including Washington State's Toni Pole who
came up with a pivotal blocked kick in the Cougar win against USC
- Edge goes slightly to WSU, mostly because of Furney -
have to factor in the home field at Martin Stadium, and as of Thursday
Washington State was favored by a point over Oregon State. Overall, I
think the edge goes slightly to the Beavers though, mostly because of
Mannion. Expect a big specials teams play from WSU, possibly coming from
Ricky Galvin on a kick return. All and all, turnovers will make the
difference come Saturday.
- Beavers win 45-41-

Kelley Technical Coatings 391GL Olympic Zeron Blue Ice One Coat Epoxy - 1 Gallon
Pool Maintenance Features:
Epoxy pool coatings have proven to be the most effective long-range protection for swimming pool surfaces. This is due to the fact that epoxies cure to a very hard, non-porous finish that is insensitive to pool chemicals, ph balance and automatic pool cleaning machines. Their ceramic-like qualities create a fresh and inviting appearance that will be easy to clean and extremely durable. We produce two types of epoxy pool coatings. The following product descriptions will enable you to decide which system is right for you. The ZERON system is the longest lasting epoxy pool coating available. You can expect up to eight years of service from one application of this product. The greatest advantage of the ZERON system is that it only requires one coat. ZERON is a heavier bodied material than POXOLON so it will require a little more effort in its application and will not spread as far. However, due to the extremely long life of ZERON, the cost per year of service is lower than any other pool coating available.

I like them in many variations, but this recipe from Andrea Immer Robinson is outstanding. She was peddling a 2003 Gary Farrell Russian River Pinot Noir for $34 -- I was a satisfied peddlee -- but the recipe endures in our house:
PROSCIUTTO PASTA WITH PEAS Serves 4
Subtle, earthy-sweet and meaty – like the wine!
½ lb fettucine
1 T unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1 c young fresh peas or frozen baby peas
¼ cup fruity extra virgin olive oil, or more to taste
Salt and pepper
¼ c chopped parsley
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for grating, optional
Cook the pasta in lots of boiling salted water according to package directions. While the pasta is
cooking heat the butter in a skillet on medium high until it foams. Add the shallot, reduce the
heat to medium-low and cook until it starts to soften. Add the peas and, with tongs, put the
cooked pasta directly into the skillet so that some of the water clinging to it goes into the skillet.
Add the prosciutto, olive oil, salt and pepper and parsley and mix with tongs to blend well.
Remove from the heat and taste, adding more salt, pepper and oil if desired. Serve immediately
with grated cheese if desired.
Great meal!

Product FeaturesThis is the new series of premium undercabinet lighting from EnvironmentalLights. Color Rendering Index of 80+, 15% brighter than our previous series, locking connectors, and a new touch dimmer make this even better than our regular LED undercabinet lighting. EnvironmentalLights sets a new standard for excellent value in LED under cabinet lighting. High brightness, natural color, flawless dimming performance and useful accessories—these light bars have it all. Compare our prices against other LED under cabinet lighting, and you'll know why our undercabinet lighting is so popular.
Bright Neutral White light bar uses Surface Mount Device (SMD) LEDs.
- Energy Efficient—only 15 watts consumed.
- This compact LED light bar is ideal for low-profile installations. It's less than 0.65 inch high including the clips, and is easy to hide behind cabinet fronts under cabinets, under shelves, inside cabinets and closets.
- 810-lumen output; delivers the recommended 30 to 70 footcandles to the work surface, assuming 18 inches from the bottom of the cabinet to the counter.
- Overall length is 35.4 inches, and with our sleek bar joiners, there's no additional length added if you link the bars. One bar joiner is included with each light bar.
- Dimmable using the dimming power supplies or dimmers listed in the companion parts tab. Super-smooth dimming is easy to achieve using a wide variety of standard magnetic dimmers on the wall, for a pro-quality architectural installation. More convenient than systems requiring reaching up to the light itself to turn it off or dim it.
- Linkable up to 8 feet of light bars per electrical branch. For larger installations, use multiple branches.
- Easy to install—2 quick-mount brackets and screws included per bar (3 for the 36 and 48 inch ones.) You can tilt the light bars up to 10° from horizontal by adjusting which grooves on the side of the light you use. Angle brackets are available as an option, so you can tilt the bars 45° from horizontal, with additional adjustment possible, from 23° to 53°.
- Durable optical grade lens is much less fragile than glass and provides pleasing and useful light dispersion. Beam angle (50%) is 110°; Field angle (10%) is 130°. Shield angle orthogonal to light bar is (180°-130°)/2 = 25°.
- Easy to put 2 of more bars in parallel to double the light output if you need very high brightness, using our novel bar jumpers.
- Tighty Righty connectors allow you to put your light bars against those pesky "fences" under the cabinets because the connectors protrude only 3/8 inch off the end of the bar.
- Lightweight.
- Fluorescent replacement; however no ballast is needed, so there's no ballast to burn out.
- No ultra-violet light, so it's great for lighting artwork and documents.
- High-grade aluminum extruded housing is rugged and handsome.
- Shock and vibration resistant.
- Operating range: 0° - 150° F.
- Energy-efficient-saves around 85-90% versus incandescent light.
- No radio frequency interference.
- No buzzing noise.
- No flickering.
- Instant on.
- Maintenance-free.
- No mercury to contaminate the environment upon disposal.
- Long life. 3-year warranty, if you use our drivers.
- UL listed, US and Canada E345867.
- Works in conjunction with our UL approved adapters and dimming power supplies.
ApplicationsPlease see Documentation Tab for details on exactly what you need to make your system work the way you want it to.
- This light bar requires a 24 Volt DC power supply (driver.) You will also need a power cable (see companion parts). Without a power cable you cannot connect power to the special fitting on the end of the bar.
- Under cabinet, under shelf and cove lighting.
- Cabinet and china hutch interior lighting.
