In the Lehigh Valley's retail world, 2011 was chock-full of big restaurant news
And 2012 may mirror that.
The Valley's burgeoning world of casual eats will get even meatier when Wally's Wicked Wings opens Jan. 7 at the former Zing Bar & Grill on Route 309 in Richland Township.
The casual fare of wings, sandwiches and beer has really taken off in recent years.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Karl Knepper noticed the trend, and decided to put his mark on the burgeoning market.
Wally's menu is anchored by traditional and boneless wings dipped in a choice of 17 different sauces, such as honey barbecue, general tso's, mild millie and sweet chili.
There are also buffalo shrimp, chicken fingers, pierogies, sweet potato fries, smokehouse ribs, fish and chips, burgers, and sandwiches like buffalo shrimp wraps, Reubens and pulled pork.
Knepper worked at Zing's Bar & Grill until the place closed in July. The wings venture keeps much of the interior unchanged, though there is an additional lounge and a new green and blue color palate.
Libations include 12 beers on tap and dozens in bottles, along with 100-ounce table taps and buckets of beer.
Knepper said there are plans to open additional Wally Wicked Wings, but those details will come later.
Wally's website: http://www.wallyswickedwings.com
Vietnamese restaurant Hai Ky Pho Ga is expected to open soon at the former Jamaican restaurant Island in the Sun space at 1236 MacArthur Road, Whitehall Township. The storefront has been vacant since Island in the Sun moved to downtown Allentown in 2010.
The Amigo Mio Café has reopened after a short hiatus. The Mexican eatery at 545 Cleveland St., Allentown, is known as much for its subtle ambience as authentic food like flauta and chicken molé verde.
Colleague Nicole Radzievich" reported that Bethlehem candymaker Just Born is bolstering its presence in the Christmas City with plans to open a retail store in the The Shoppes at the Sands luxury outlet mall.
This will be Just Born's third retail store. The maker of Peeps and Mike & Ike has retail stores in Maryland and Minnesota.
I reported days ago that the long-vacant Jack Jones Buick building on Broad Street in west Bethlehem could house Starbucks and Rita's Italian Ice.
Well, that's if developer Abe Atiyeh has his way.
Atiyeh recently purchased the 24,000-square-foot building and hopes to use the upper level for commercial office space, and the lower level for retailers, he said.
Atiyeh is trying to court Starbucks and Rita's Italian Ice for the space. If Starbucks says no, Atiyeh said he could seek popular doughnut peddler Yum Yum Bake Shop.
Let's recap some of 2011's restaurant churn and look toward the horizon, too.

Alameda >Gifts & Novelties > Three Wishes
1428 Park St, Alameda, CA | Directions 9450137.764877 -122.242092
Great Selection of Gifts - Found Everything I was Looking For – Upon entering 3 Wishes, I was relieved when I was politely greeted by the owner - and then was given my space to shop - I was not bombarded as I am in many stores. Just about every item caught my attention - unlike, in many gift shops where I have to hunt around to maybe find a few good possibilities. The selection of gifts were items that were practical, that could be used daily - yet be a really nice gift. I bought a very cute make-up bag with dragon fly's made by Sally Spicer (which my past employer LOVED), a few unique soy candles that were packaged beautifully, modern, stylish - and lemongrass and mango scented! There were fine soaps, unique jewelry, an array of gifts for travelers, great toys for kids (not the typical stuff you see at Toys R Us), clever cards, home decor, books, martini/bar items, lush bathroom robes, stylish Ladies purses, cute T-shirts - and best of all when I went up to pay, all my items free wrapped for free. It was one less thing I had to worry about. I did ask the owner where she found her merchandise, and she said twice a year she goes to NYC to this Internation al Gift Expo where companies show and sell the latest gifts. This really did show in the variety of the merchandise, which was also affordable - not overpriced. I highly recommend 3 Wishes are a great place to shop for gifts!!!
Shop here, get noticed – I got a super cute messenger bag (Slainte) and a diaper bag (MommyBag by Kecci) from here and I never stop getting compliments on them. I can't tell you how many times I get asked where I got them. I also got the Trumpette mary jane socks and the Bical cherry shoes for my little girl and she looks so sweet in them. It is a really fun store that I can spend a ton of time in looking at every little thing. The owner is so friendly and really treats you like family. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for something different and trendy.
Editorial Review – Chic boutique offers a unique selection of gifts and heart-warming cards to steal the deal.
Very cute and fun gift shop! – This is the kind of store where you never know what you are going to find. There is usually good music playing and they also do free gift wrapping. It's perfect when you need a gift in a hurry! There is a little bit of everything, so I can pretty much find a gift for anyone when I am in a gift crisis. Great at the holidays too! The store is always full of new , trendy merchandise. You don't need to leave the island for gifts anymore!
CUTE STORE – A cute store on Park. A great place to pick-up a gift for someone or for yourself. I found a neat cell phone holder that I have never seen anywhere else in the Eastbasy or San Francisco.

More of the greatest inappropriate test answers from young children.

Maybe these kids will look back on this and laugh once they're old enough to realize what the hell they were saying. Some of them seem brutally honest, while others just appear to have a tenuous grasp of the English language. Obviously, the latter half are our future politicians.

The outside drip pan is for any leaks that are not supposed to be there.
The condensate drain should probably not be into the drip. You have a primary drain....apparently clogged. Thus the secondary condensate drain picked up that load. Often the secondary drains to someplace where it will annoy you, so you can't ignore it. Like the living room ceiling.

Banting Gives It Away - Insulin was discovered in 1921 by Fred Banting and Charles Best. In a generous gesture that unfortunately didn't start a trend, they sold the patent for a dollar so that cheap insulin would quickly become available. It worked like a charm: within two years, Eli Lilly had sold 60 million units of its purified extract of pig and cow pancreas.
Patents Premiere
The first insulin did not last long in the body, forcing people with diabetes to inject themselves several times a day with the sword-like needles that were available at the time. In the 1950s, longer-acting insulin was developed to reduce the number of painful injections. Each improvement came with a patent, and each patent came with a price increase. Still, even with the new patents, insulin was fairly cheap. Many people recall paying less than a dollar a vial for insulin in the 1960s. Even in 1975, our editor-in-chief paid only $2.99 a bottle.
The Era of Biologics
In 1978, researchers at the biotech company Genentech did something that had never been done before: they manipulated bacteria into making human insulin. Insulin became the first pharmaceutical biologic; that is, a protein made biologically, by living organisms, instead of chemically. The making of insulin as the first biologic was the dawn of the biotech era.
Eventually, yeasts were also used as tiny insulin-making factories. Once the gene for human insulin was inserted into one yeast DNA, the yeast did what yeasts do: it multiplied ad infinitum, and each new yeast came with a little copy of human insulin. This breakthrough, naturally, carried with it a big, profit-making patent.
Advance of the Analogs
In 1996, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first insulin analog. Newer insulins are called analogs because they're analogous to human insulin: like it, but not quite exactly. Before being put into the yeast, the human genetic material is slightly changed, to produce slower or quicker acting insulin, for instance. Each one of these improvements comes, of course, with a patent. And all these patented insulins cost - big time.
Where's the Generic?
Eventually, patents do expire. And when patents expire, generics generally leap into the market. Why not generic insulin? Because even though biologics have been on the market since the 1980s, the FDA has never told the generic companies how they can get generic biologics approved. There are no official guidelines for approval of generic insulin.
Generic Shortcuts
Insulin guidelines would need to answer one basic question: whether generic insulin manufacturers can use the usual generic shortcuts to approval. When generic manufacturers copy standard drugs, they aren't forced to repeat the exhaustive clinical testing that the drugs went through to get approved in the first place. All they need to prove is that the generic version contains the same active ingredient as the name brand, in the same purity, quality, and strength. The generic maker isn't forced to start from scratch and re-prove the drug's safety and effectiveness. This shortcut is called "piggybacking" on the clinical studies originally done by the drug company that invented the drug.
FDA Guidelines are a No-Show
Because the FDA has not supplied guidelines to the generic companies on how to achieve approval of generic insulin, they don't know what to do. Can they piggyback or not? The FDA said in 2001 that it was developing guidelines for approving generic insulin, but it never did. Now the FDA says that it no longer plans to issue guidelines for each biologic medicine, one by one. Instead, it's announced that it will develop global guidelines applicable to all biologic generics, from simple insulin to the latest super proteins. This announcement has caused a lot of protest because such complex guidelines would take much longer to produce than a single set of guidelines targeted to insulin alone.
No Piggybacking for Biologics, Says the BIO
Some say the FDA's foot-dragging has been influenced by lobbyists from the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), which represents the biotech pharmaceutical companies. The BIO says that the shortcuts awarded to conventional generic drugs don't apply to biologics, even simple ones like insulin. According to the BIO, the critical element in regular drugs is simply the active ingredient, but for biologics, it's different: it's all about the little creatures in the manufacturing process, and that's much more complex.
Just Give Us A Guideline
For safety reasons, Novo Nordisk and Lilly both oppose the FDA allowing generic insulin to piggyback without repeating clinical studies. But generic drug makers note that biologic insulin has been around since the eighties. It's relatively simple, they say, and costly clinical trials would only raise the price prohibitively high. They concede that the approval process for generic biologics should be more stringent than for conventional generic drugs. They just want some guidance from
the FDA so they can get started.
Patents Pending
In any case, some biotech companies are beating the generics to the punch by manufacturing cheap editions of their own expired patents. For instance, Novo Nordisk makes ReliOn/Novolin, which is simply its patent-expired biologic human insulin. It's sold at Wal-Mart for $19.96 a vial.
The problem is, most people favor the newer insulin analogs over the older varieties of insulin. That's one reason the big pharmaceutical companies aren't too worried. Even if FDA guidelines are created and generics do make it to market by 2008 or 2009, the major companies don't expect to lose many patients to generics. Insulin analogs themselves could become targets for generics in 2014, when their patents begin to expire. But by then, the major drug companies are confident that they will have newly patented next generation insulins on the market.
Power to the Diabetic People
In spite of everything, consumers do have influence when it comes to generic insulin, if they choose to wield it. As well-known diabetes blogger Scott Strumello states, "Regardless of which insulin we use personally, we should not tolerate regulatory inaction regarding generic insulin. All people with diabetes should urge their legislators to support legislation that removes barriers to price competition in the insulin market."
ADDENDUM: On February 14, 2007, Rep. Henry Waxman, Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, and Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., along with Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton, introduced H.R. 1038, the "Access to Life-Saving Medicine Act," which will establish a process through which the FDA will be able to approve lower-cost copies of biopharmaceuticals. See Henry Waxman's website for details, and send your support.

There is a monthly magazine concerning birds and all
wildlife, with his name, Audubon. Very fine.
Very old rumor that J J Audubon was the long lost
Dauphin of France. Persisted for years. Still hangs
around in certain places._________________________

Wow that was fun...it not only records my composition, but I can play it back. How clever is that
Google says that the doodle was made using a mixture of JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, CSS, Flash and other tools like Google Font API, goo.gl and App Engine.
Its impressive, so much work and such a shame its will last only one day!

Woody Allen Gossip
Woody Allen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
A war of words with Woody Allen
Mirrorpix/ Splash
Who could possibly win? Aaron Sorkin would probably like to think he could, but I'd nominate someone like… Diablo Cody. Because when it comes to a war of words, written words, few people could take on Woody Allen. Have you read his response to Dylan Farrow? Click here Full Story
Dylan Farrow challenges Hollywood
So you know about that Vanity Fair piece on Mia Farrow a few months ago. And Ronan Farrow's subsequent tweets during the Golden Globes about honouring Woody Allen. And then a week ago, an article was posted at The Daily Beast, written by Robert B Weide who shot a PBS documentary about Allen's work. Full Story
Lohan punks Woody, begs Anna
Wenn, Sharpshooter Images/Splash
Woody Allen agreed to meet Lindsay Lohan for dinner the other night in New York. The paps were there to shoot them on their way out. Of course. And who do you think texted them the location? As you know, the Met Gala is tonight. Rumour has it Lohan is desperate to attend. And desperate to find someone to dress her. Full Story
This won't get you work
Wenn, Jamie McCarthy/Jemal Countess/Getty
So...here's how Lindsay Lohan looked last night at the AMFAR Gala in New York. Remember, she is only 25 years old. And apparently still wants to play Victoria Gotti even though that sh-t was shut down a long time ago. You know, there was a time when her hair, it wasn't such a cheap mess, even her extensions. Full Story
Blonde Rachel in Paris
Seems like a good way to start the day after shouts - a blonde wavy Rachel McAdams shot with Owen Wilson in Paris last night on Woody Allen's new feature Midnight in Paris. After completing this film, Rachel should move into promotion for the upcoming Morning Glory with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton. Full Story
Marion & Owen
Shooting Woody Allen's upcoming Midnight in Paris, the director's latest muse having moved on from London and Barcelona. It's easier for him to work in Europe now. And it's quite the cast. In addition to Marion Cotillard and Owen Wilson, the film will star Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni (yes, the French first lady), Rachel McAdams, and Michael Sheen. Full Story
Naomi & Woody
Saturday night in Cannes for the premiere of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (positive reviews from 3 journalists I spoke with), Naomi Watts arrived on the carpet in pale pink Gucci and red lips. It was spectacular. Not sure if it's photographing as well as it was in person but in person, I promise you, breathtaking. Full Story
But Jakey's so close!
Rachel McAdams will be spending the summer in France. She'll be filming a Woody Allen movie with Marion Cotillard. Girlcrush overload, non? Oh and Owen Wilson is involved too. Today however Rachel was spotted in Toronto, out for lunch with her dad. Of course Toronto. Always Toronto. LA is not Rachel's scene. Full Story
Replacing Scarjo?
Oh she wishes. But let's applaud the effort, shall we? Jennifer Aniston had dinner with Woody Allen last night at Madeo no doubt discussing a collaboration. Please. Jennifer Aniston is not Diane Keaton. And she's about 25 years too old. Woody prefers young and nubile these days. He prefers Scarlett Johansson. Full Story

Introduction To Wireless Chargers
There are scores of items in an average household that require a regular supply of electricity for their function, while others need to be charged regularly, such as notebooks, cell phones, tablets, mp 3 players, electric tooth brushes and trimmers. We have got so used to these devices that it is difficult to imagine living without them. The one thing associated with all these devices is an electric cable and the larger is the number of such devices, the more are the wires. Unfortunately, any lot of tumbled dirty wires makes a very unpleasant vision. Moreover, they can be dangerous and present the risk of your crumbling over them, unless you are cautious. The release of wireless chargers, which remove the use of wires, is an advantage, as by using them, one can function or recharge many devices.
It is already known that, with the help of electro-magnetic fields we can transfer energy between two near things, located near to each other, even without linking the two through wires. When electricity is passed through a wire, an electro-magnetic field is created around that wire. Other than using a straight wire, if we use a wire in the shape of coils, we can increase the magnetic field. By placing another coils near to the former, the magnetic field causes a current in the additional coils. That is generally the most crucial of function of wireless chargers, where the energy is passed on to the primary coils of the charging unit. As a result, an electro-magnetic field is established, which in turn causes a current in the additional coils of the device that need to be charged. That is why wireless charging is also known as "inductive charging". Wireless chargers are super easy to use and known to be secure as long as they are used according to the guidelines of the maker. You are not revealed to any threats of dangerous radiations. This is a very secure and effective choice for charging for various gadgets. Wireless chargers remove the need of plugging-in so often! They will instantly charge any cell phone falling within their variety.
BeoPlay H6 Headphones
It is unusual in our periods to come across such well designed and great quality designed electronic devices, sure we now have innovative things like iPads and all types of awesome devices, but it is also a satisfaction to come across an item that is technically innovative and simultaneously designed with proper care and top quality requirements. The BeoPlay H6 Set Headsets are definitely awesome in not only audio outcome but also in design and wonderful great quality development, these headphones by Bang & Olufsen truly are one of a type. You might even choose up a couple of these BeoPlay H6′s and wonder how they have been created in huge figures because of the very great quality requirements that is recognizable in its leather sewing and overall workmanship.
The Develop of the BeoPlay H6 Headphones
You may also wonder, "why cant all headphones be designed like this", well that's because Bang & Olufsen take unique safety measures to create sure there item is excellent, and that is what creates these headphones so exclusive and a must have for those of you who are looking for the best in headphones. The develop the BeoPlay H6′s is second to none, the headband is a durable but mild aluminium development covered in a top quality tan cow hide leather, designed to last is an exaggeration. The ear pads are so smooth you just might want to rest with them on. Bang & Olufsen select lambskin leather which creates the ear pads extremely smooth. The backside of the BeoPlay H6 ear cups is aluminium with an awesome fashionable "B&O" logo as well as "L" and "R" marked within on each ear. The headband is flexible for size and the ear cups rotate to create sure a snug fit for all go forms and dimensions.
Choosing a Phone That Works for you
The mobile phone market is saturated and the choice can be quite overwhelming. It might be quite tempting to buy the phone all your friends are using, or the one that looks the coolest. Stepping back and making the decision based on your own needs, though, pays off in the long term because a phone that works with your lifestyle becomes a useful tool, rather than a shiny accessory.
Smart or Basic?
Many of us assume that we should just get the best phone we can afford, and for most that means a smartphone. As the clever people at How Stuff Works point out, though, out it's worth being sure that you actually need a smartphone. If you don't use your phone in a manner that requires the extras that come with a smartphone, is it better for you to go with a cheaper, simpler phone?
If you prefer to keep your gadgets separate, or if you prefer not to use them at all, then it doesn't make any sense to pay out for the extras. The best path might be to choose the best contract for your needs and simply choose a basic phone. If, on the other hand, you're all about the extras then by all means compare and contrast phones.
Tools at Your Fingertips
There are several online tools at your disposal that are worth looking at. You can use the giffgaff handset tool, for instance, to give you an indication of what phone might suit you, taking into account your budget and how you use your phone. It might, for instance, be able to suggest phones with good battery life if you play a lot of games, or ones with easy to use typing abilities if you're all about social networking. Other people may be more interested in making sure the in-built camera is of good quality. It's still a good idea to look at reviews and ask questions, but these tools give a really great staring point or a helping hand to make a final decision.
When you've made your decision about which phone best suits your needs, there are still a few decisions to be made, such as which network provider to go with. It's important to make sure your area has good coverage from whichever you choose, though in most areas of the UK this is less of an issue now unless you live in a more remote location.
Choosing a phone isn't a decision that will be with you for a lifetime, but it's still an important one. A phone that works for you is so much more than a way for people to stay in touch. It can be a useful tool to help you organise your life, a social tool for staying in touch and an entertainment tool, all in one. Choosing one that works well with your lifestyle can make life a great deal simpler and more pleasurable.
Comparison Between LED And Plasma TV's
These days there are several tv screens arriving out in different forms and dimensions. Each provides a few improvements and differs in cost, quality and performance. This content will evaluate two very well-known kinds of tv's namely the plasma TV and the LED TV. But before evaluating the two let us make sure the distinction between an LCD TV and an LED TV. They are generally the same with just one little distinction. LED tv's are just the same as LCD tv's apart from the back light. In situation of an LCD the back light is fluorescent while of the other the back light is of LED kind. Now that this little distinction is removed let us shift on to the evaluation between plasma and LED.
Picture Quality
In conditions of image the plasma is better than the LED even if it is a high end one like the Samsung LED TVs. This is mainly due to the picture contrast. The whiteness and blackness on a display are much clearer for plasma.
Thickness of Screen and weight
The width of the display is essential as the thinner the display the better is obtained. In this situation the plasma loses as it quite wider in evaluation to the thinner displays available in the LED structure. Thus since the width of the display has an impact on weight, the plasma TVs are bulkier in evaluation to the other kind of tv's.
Power Intake
The less the energy intake of a TV the better it is as that allows can help you to save cash for the customer. In this situation the LED tv's it eat far less energy than the plasma tvs. The distinction in energy consumption appears at around 60-70% which is a lot.
Screen Sizes
One of the advantages of LED displays is that they come in all scales. From smaller portions to be used as watches for computer systems to large scale enjoyment cinemas, you will discover one in any dimension. However there is a restriction when it comes to plasma as those displays are only available in dimensions 32 inches wide and above.
Screen Glare
The glare of the LED tv is less when as opposed to other kind due to the existence of an anti glare covering. Especially in shiny circumstances one can see a significant distinction in the glare and as such it impacts the sight when looking at really shiny applications.
Buying A Watch
Many men believe that since they have bought their watch out for more than $1,000, they do not have to take proper care of it. However, to maintain the watch's shine, consider cleaning it sometimes in hot water and soap. It is essential to have the watch maintained every 3 to 5 years. This will ensure it works completely like any other high perfection device.
It is essential to store the watch in a smooth piece of fabric to avoid cracking or damaging. Excessive heat range changes should be prevented to avoid moisture build-up or condensation. Despite of a watch company making statements of surprise level of resistance, you should never aim to test the watch by losing it. Nevertheless, shock proof is given to products that are carried to remain unchanged even after putting down 3 feet on wood made surfaces. The significance of buying an expensive watch include:
· Quality timepiece
Many of the excellent timepieces feature a mechanical movement; they use an intricate system of springs and equipment that rely on mechanical energy to function. These timepieces are considered highly because they catch fine workmanship. As a result, they often entice higher rates. The down side of mechanical timepieces is the fact that they can be incorrect, particularly when the arm is not able to move. The watch stops demands winding. The more popular manufacturers being produced today use the automated motion that makes it possible for the watch to wind itself.
Water resistant
Many of the costly timepieces are water-resistant. Therefore, you do not have to worry in case the watch unintentionally gets wet or if you are caught up in the rainfall. When buying the watch it is important to find out the degree water proof. Many of the most costly timepieces will resist water to a depth of 100 meters to 1,000 meters, including moisture from sweat, rainfall and accidental splashing.

MEDICAL MONDAYS: News Notes
Richard Parrish, MD, pulmonologist
Middle Tennessee Medical Center
TOPIC: Lung Disease Awareness
DATE: Monday, October 13, 2008
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is caused by damage to the lungs over many years, usually from smoking.
COPD is often a mix of two diseases:
COPD gets worse over time. You can't undo the damage to your lungs. But you can take steps to prevent more damage and to feel better.
What causes COPD?
COPD is almost always caused by smoking. Over time, breathing tobacco smoke irritates the airways and destroys the stretchy fibers in the lungs.
Other things that may put you at risk include breathing chemical fumes, dust, or air pollution over a long period of time. Secondhand smoke is also bad.
It usually takes many years for the lung damage to start causing symptoms, so COPD is most common in people who are older than 60.
You may be more likely to get COPD if you had a lot of serious lung infections when you were a child. People who get emphysema in their 30s or 40s may have a disorder that runs in families, called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. But this is rare.
What are the symptoms?
The main symptoms are:
As COPD gets worse, you may be short of breath even when you do simple things like get dressed or fix a meal. It gets harder to eat or exercise, and breathing takes much more energy. People often lose weight and get weaker.
At times, your symptoms may suddenly flare up and get much worse. This is called a COPD exacerbation (say "egg-ZASS-er-BAY-shun"). An exacerbation can range from mild to life-threatening. The longer you have COPD, the more severe these flare-ups will be.
How is COPD diagnosed?
To find out if you have COPD, a doctor will:
If there is a chance you could have COPD, it is very important to find out as soon as you can. This gives you time to take steps to slow the damage to your lungs.
How is it treated?
The only way to slow COPD is to quit smoking. This is the most important thing you can do. It is never too late to quit. No matter how long you have smoked or how serious your COPD is, quitting smoking can help stop the damage to your lungs.
It's hard to quit smoking. Talk to your doctor about treatments that can help. Using medicines and support increases the chance that you will quit for good. To learn more about how to quit, go to www.smokefree.gov, or call 1-800-QUITNOW (1-800-784-8669).
Your doctor can prescribe treatments that may help you manage your symptoms and feel better.
People who have COPD are more likely to get lung infections, so you will need to get a flu shot every year. You should also get the pneumonia vaccine. It may not keep you from getting pneumonia. But if you do get pneumonia, you probably will not be as sick.
There are many things you can do at home to stay as healthy as you can.
What else should you think about?
As COPD gets worse, you may have flare-ups when your symptoms suddenly get much worse. It is important to know what to do if this happens. Your doctor can prescribe medicines to help. But if the attack is severe, you may need to go to the emergency room or call 911 .
Understanding Lung Cancer - the Basics
How common is lung cancer?
Lung cancer is responsible for the most cancer deaths in both men and women throughout the world. The American Cancer Society estimates that 173,770 new cases of lung cancer in the U.S. will be diagnosed and 160,440 deaths due to lung cancer will occur in 2004.
Lung cancer was not common prior to the 1930s but increased dramatically over the following decades as tobacco smoking increased. In many developing countries, the incidence of lung cancer is beginning to fall following public education about the dangers of cigarette smoking and effective smoking cessation programs. Nevertheless, lung cancer remains the most common form of cancer in men worldwide and the fifth most common form of cancer in women.
Lung cancer has also surpassed breast cancer in causing the most cancer-related deaths in women in the United States.
What Is Lung Cancer?
Although lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. in both men and women, it is also one of the most preventable kinds of cancer. At least four out of five cases are associated with cigarette smoking, and the cause-and-effect relationship has been extensively documented. During the 1920s, large numbers of men began to smoke cigarettes, presumably in response to increased advertising. Twenty years later, the frequency of lung cancer in men climbed sharply. In the 1940s, significantly more women became smokers. Twenty years later, there was a similar dramatic increase in lung cancer among women.
Lung tumors almost always start in the spongy, pinkish gray walls of the bronchi -- the tubular, branching airways of the lungs. More than 20 types of malignant tumors that originate in the lung itself -- primary lung caner -- have been identified. The major types are small-cell lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer. The more common non-small variety is further divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large-cell carcinoma.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma usually starts in cells of the central bronchi, the largest branches of the bronchial tree. It is the most common type of lung cancer in men and in smokers; it is the easiest to detect early, since its distinctive cells are likely to show up in tests of mucus samples. It also tends to be most curable if found early because it spreads relatively slowly.
Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer in women and nonsmokers -- tends to originate along the outer edges of the lungs in the smaller airways. Adenocarcinoma often spreads to spaces between the lungs and the chest wall, and its typical location makes early detection difficult.
Large-cell carcinomas are a group of cancers with large, abnormal-looking cells that tend to originate along the outer edges of the lungs. They are the least common of the non-small-cell lung cancers.
Small Cell Lung Cancer
Small-cell lung cancer is the most aggressive form of the disease; it is also called oat-cell cancer because, under a microscope, its cells resemble oat grains. Like squamous cell carcinoma, this cancer usually originates in the large, central bronchi. It spreads quickly, often before symptoms appear, making it particularly threatening. It frequently spreads (metastasizes) to the liver, bone, and brain. Although responsive to chemotherapy, small-cell lung cancer is rarely ever cured because it usually is not discovered before it has spread.
About 170,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, most between the ages of 40 and 70. Only 1% of lung cancer patients are younger than 30, and only 10% are older than 70. The number of people that survive five years or more is increasing and now stands at about 15%. An individual cancer sufferer's prognosis will vary according to the type of lung cancer involved, the person's overall health, and the status of the cancer at the time of diagnosis.
What Causes It?
Most lung cancer is caused by smoking and as with any cancer, each person's genetic pattern influences susceptibility. The fact that lung cancer runs in some families suggests that a predisposition can be inherited. Additionally, certain genetic traits have been identified that make some people more susceptible than others to cancer-causing substances like those found in tobacco smoke.
Nonetheless, anyone who smokes one pack of cigarettes daily is 20 times more likely than a nonsmoker to develop lung cancer. For people who smoke more than two packs a day, the risk more than triples. Breaking the smoking habit reduces risk significantly, yet former smokers are always slightly more susceptible than nonsmokers. Secondhand tobacco smoke can also cause lung cancer, giving nonsmokers who live or work with smokers a somewhat higher lung cancer risk than those in smoke-free environments.
Cancer-causing substances other than those found in tobacco or tobacco smoke can also cause lung cancer if inhaled in quantity over time. However, experts disagree about how much exposure to specific cancer-causing substances is dangerous. Workers who are exposed on a daily basis to asbestos, silica, mineral dusts, coal dust, arsenic, or the radioactive gas radon are much more likely than the average person to develop lung cancer, especially if they are smokers.
Lung tissue that has been scarred by disease or infection, such as scleroderma or tuberculosis, is more susceptible to tumor growth. Because of a high frequency of lung cancer among people who eat large amounts of fat and cholesterol, some researchers speculate that diet may also influence lung cancer risk

Hey all, as it says on my profile, I am Pete from Australia and I will be in Iceland for a bit, I have very few plans but if anyone wants to catch up let me know.
Hey. So I was told that where I live right now is the best place to enjoy the fireworks (Westside of Rvk). I can't invite you to me place as it is not mine and I am only a guest, too. But if the weather is good and not that cold, you could show up and we can see together the fireworks and walk together downtown. If you are interested, let me know, I will buy some snacks or something like that. Best, Puja

text: The season of Advent for Christians is characterized by waiting in anticipation and in repentance. While most people understand the waiting for Christmas to begin, few understand it the way the church has understood it. For most people, Christmas begins after Thanksgiving (for some it begins even before that day!) with Christmas songs and carols being sung on the radio and in malls. But in congregations that observe Advent, Christmas hymns are historically not sung until Christmas. Instead, for four Sundays until Dec. 24, Advent hymns are sung. These hymns look forward to Christ's comings. While many people see this time as only an anticipation of Jesus' birth, Christians have historically seen Advent as anticipating the two-fold coming of Christ. First, we look forward to Jesus' birth and remembering it. Second, we look forward to his coming on the last day at the end of time. In both these comings, Jesus comes for his people to deliver them from bondage to sin, and to give them eternal life. In this first coming, he seeks to bring these about. In the second coming, he bestows the fullness of that gift on his people who do not yet "see" with their eyes the reality of what Christ already accomplished some 2,000 years ago. Thank God Jesus comes to his church today to prepare us for his coming at the end of time. So, with the saints of old, we wait for Christmas, and with the saints of all times, we wait for the last day—the end of the world as we have known it. For both of these, we wait with eager expectation, longing for both of these because both of these bring God's peace to us. Yet, as we see why Christ had to come in the first place, reflect on his second coming and see all he brings on that day of justice and salvation, it reminds us of the need for repentance. Many people think repentance is about doing penance or that it is a process that requires one to permanently resolve never to repeat particular sins again, but in his 95 Thesis, Martin Luther underscored that "the entire life of believers to be one of repentance." He would later explain in his Commentary on the Gospel according to Saint John that, "We must constantly repent ...That is, we must continually mend our evil ways and be cleansed and at the same time always hope for that forgiveness of sin which we now have." (Luther's Works, Vol. 22:180) The life of a Christian is lived in continually turning away from sin and in being made perfect by Jesus' death and resurrection. Thus, in Advent, we realize that Christ has come to turn us away from sin and to turn us to himself. Repentance in Advent is not about getting your life straightened out so that you are ready to meet the one holy God on Christmas or Judgment Day, it is about turning to Christ Jesus and letting him fully and freely take care of our sin problem. In this way during Advent, we reflect on the grace and mercy of Christ, who fully paid our debt leaving us nothing to pay back. Advent is truly a season of restrained joy as we reflect on our sins and need for a Savior and joyously anticipate that very Savior's coming. Rev. Hering is pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Layton. Rev. Krause is pastor of Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Bountiful.

This thief can't wait until spring.
One bandit in Shrewsbury has tired of winter, and is thinking ahead. A resident this week reported that his riding lawn mower was stolen. We don't know the status of this case, but presumably Shrewsbury residents should report to police any sightings of a person riding a lawnmower in the middle of January.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who finds this sketchy.
Sometime over the summer, I was washing my car when a man in a beat-up pickup truck drove up, hopped out and cheerfully asked if I wanted to buy some meat. Rightfully suspicious, I backed away a safe distance while he went to a freezer in his truck and pointed out (from afar) the various cuts of meat he had for sale. Maybe I'm missing something: but are traveling, unsolicited meat salesmen a thing?
Well, that just stinks.
Most of us have done something embarassing behind the wheel (As a teenager, I accidentally ran over my dog's outdoor dog house - the dog was safe inside). Still, it couldn't have been a comfortable call when this Medfield man had to inform police that he'd driven through his garage and took out the support columns.

Notification Center
Notification Center gives users a single, convenient place in which to view notifications from their apps. Users appreciate the unobtrusive interface of Notification Center and they value the ability to customize the way each app can present its notifications.
Notification Center uses a sectioned list to display recent notification items from the apps that users are interested in. In addition to notifications, users can also choose to see information from built-in apps, such as Weather, Calendar, Reminders, and Stocks.
iOS apps can use local or push notifications to let people know when interesting things happen, such as:
A message has arrived
An event is about to occur
New data is available for download
The status of something has changed
A local notification is scheduled by an app and delivered by iOS on the same device, regardless of whether the app is currently running in the foreground. For example, a calendar or to-do app can schedule a local notification to alert people of an upcoming meeting or due date.
A push notification is sent by an app's remote server to the Apple Push Notification service, which pushes the notification to all devices that have the app installed. For example, a game that a user can play against remote opponents can update all players with the latest move.
You can still receive local and push notifications when your app is running in the foreground, but you pass the information to your users in an app-specific way.
iOS apps that support local or push notifications can participate in Notification Center in various ways, depending on the user's preferences. To ensure that users can customize their notification experience, you should support as many as possible of the following notification styles:
A banner is a small translucent view that appears onscreen and then disappears after a few seconds. In addition to your notification message, iOS displays the small version of your app icon in a banner, so that people can see at a glance which app is notifying them (to learn more about the small app icon, see App Icon).
An alert is a standard alert view that appears onscreen and requires user interaction to dismiss. You supply the notification message and, optionally, a title for the action button in the alert. You have no control over the background appearance of the alert or the buttons.
A badge is a small red oval that displays the number of pending notification items (a badge appears over the upper-right corner of an app's icon). You have no control over the size or color of the badge.
A custom or system-provided sound can accompany any of the other three notification delivery styles.
As you design the content that your notifications can deliver, be sure to observe the following guidelines.
Keep badge contents up to date. It's especially important to update the badge as soon as users have attended to the new information, so that they don't think additional notifications have arrived. Note that setting the badge contents to zero also removes the related notification items from Notification Center.
Don't send multiple notifications for the same event. Users can attend to notification items when they choose; the items don't disappear until users handle them in some way. If you send multiple notifications for the same event, you fill up the Notification Center list and users are likely to turn off notifications from your app.
Provide a custom message that does not include your app name. Your custom message is displayed in alerts and banners, and in Notification Center list items. You should not include your app's name in your custom message because iOS automatically displays the name with your message.
To be useful, a local or push notification message should:
Focus on the information, not user actions. Avoid telling people which alert button to tap or how to open your app.
Be short enough to display on one or two lines. Long messages are difficult for users to read quickly, and they can force alerts to scroll.
Use sentence-style capitalization and appropriate ending punctuation. When possible, use a complete sentence.
Optionally, provide a custom title for the action button in an alert. An alert can contain one or two buttons. In a two-button alert, the Close button is on the left and the action button (titled View by default) is on the right. If you specify only one button, the alert displays an OK button.
Tapping the action button dismisses the alert and launches your app simultaneously. Tapping either the Close button or the OK button dismisses the alert without opening your app.
If you want to use a custom title for the action button, be sure to create a title that clearly describes the action that occurs when your app launches. For example, a game might use the title Play to indicate that tapping the button opens the app to a place where the user can take their turn. Make sure the title:
Uses title-style capitalization
Is short enough to fit in the button without truncation (be sure to test the length of localized titles, too)
Provide a sound that users can choose to hear when a notification arrives. A sound can get people's attention when they're not looking at the device screen. For example, a calendar app might play a sound with an alert that reminds people about an imminent event. Or, a collaborative task management app might play a sound with a badge update to signal that a remote colleague has completed an assignment.
You can supply a custom sound, or you can use a built-in alert sound. If you create a custom sound, be sure it's short, distinctive, and professionally produced. (To learn about the technical requirements for this sound, see "Preparing Custom Alert Sounds" in Local and Push Notification Programming Guide.) Note that you can't programmatically cause the device to vibrate when a notification is delivered, because the user has control over whether alerts are accompanied by vibration.
Optionally, provide a launch image. In addition to displaying your existing launch images, you can supply a different launch image to display when people start your app in response to a notification. For example, a game might specify a launch image that's similar to a screen within the game, instead of an image that's similar to the opening menu screen. If you don't supply this launch image, iOS displays either the previous snapshot or one of your other launch images. (To learn how to create a launch image, see Launch Images.)

The Department of Defense (DoD) has partnered with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to offer Cancer Clinical Trials to eligible TRICARE beneficiaries. The Cancer Clinical Trials provide NCI-sponsored cancer prevention and treatment studies as a TRICARE-covered health care benefit.
TRICARE will cost share:
All TRICARE beneficiaries in the following plans are eligible to participate:
Eligibility for the Cancer Clinical Trials ends if you lose eligibility for TRICARE. Be sure to keep your information current in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to avoid loss of eligibility. Whether you choose to participate in these studies is a decision that you should make with help from your doctor. Read the following sections carefully and talk to your doctor before making a decision.
Clinical trials are research studies that help find ways to prevent, diagnose or treat illnesses and improve health care. When enrolled in these studies, people receive care that is considered the latest medicine or therapy, but is not yet approved as standard care.
There are two types of prevention clinical trials that study ways to reduce the risk of getting cancer:
Cancer treatment trials, also known as research studies, test new treatments on people diagnosed with cancer. The goal of this research is to find better ways to treat cancer and help cancer patients. Cancer treatment trials study many types of strategies to fight cancer. These include testing new drugs, new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy, new combinations of treatments or new methods, such as gene therapy.
Cancer prevention and treatment clinical trials are carried out in three phases. Each phase is part of a careful process to determine whether the activity or medicine being studied is safe and effective. The DoD/NCI agreement covers NCI-sponsored phase I, phase II and phase III cancer prevention and treatment clinical trials.
NCI-sponsored clinical trials take place in the same facilities where standard medical care is given. There are more than 2,000 sites throughout the U.S., including military hospitals, clinics, comprehensive and clinical cancer centers, community hospitals and practices. While care can require patients to change physicians, there are times when their own doctors or specialists can administer certain care as part of the clinical trial.
A placebo is a substance with no active ingredients. No patient receives a placebo when effective care exists.

Redhead numbers on the rise at area locations
On the first day of March, I took a quick lunch-hour trip to Wilbur Lake to observe the largest flock of Redheads I have ever seen in one location.
I knew about the large flock thanks to an email posting by Brookie and Jean Potter, who reside near the small reservoir. Over the years, Wilbur Lake has been a magnet for wintering and migrating waterfowl, including such species as Red-breasted Merganser, White-winged Scoter, Canvasback, Ruddy Duck, Northern Pintail and Wood Duck. Each winter, a few hundred Buffleheads spend this cold season on Wilbur Lake. The Buffleheads are sometimes joined by Ring-necked Ducks, Gadwalls and other ducks.
In fact, I saw my very first Redheads on this small lake back in the early 1990s. I've always considered Redhead flocks consisting of 20 or 40 individuals to be modestly large flocks. Scanning the lake with binoculars and counting at least 147 Redheads was a thrilling observation. Added to the count was a flock of Lesser Scaup as well as a few dozen Buffleheads.
Redheads began gathering this year on Wilbur Lake in mid-February. Their numbers increased steadily, resulting in the amazing flock found by the Potters. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is a new record for this species on Wilbur Lake.
The Redhead belongs to the genus of ducks known as Aythya, which encompasses a total of 12 species. The other members of the family that range in North America include Lesser Scaup, Greater Scaup, Ring-necked Duck, Tufted Duck and Canvasback.
The species profile for Redhead at the Ducks Unlimited website provide some interesting facts about this duck.
• Of the diving ducks, Redheads are the most common breeders in the United States.
• Female redheads lay an average of 7 to 10 eggs. They are also notorious for parasitizing Canvasback nests, depositing their own eggs into the nest to be incubated by a foster mother.
• Surveys conducted in 2007 and 2009 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found a population of more than 1 million Redheads in North America.
• Redheads enjoy a varied diet, feeding on seeds, rhizomes, tubers of pondweeds, wild celery, water lilies, grasses and wild rice. They also feed on mollusks, aquatic insects and small fish.
• Male Redheads weigh an average of 2.4 pounds, while females weigh about 2.1 pounds.
Other ducks in this genus include the Hardhead, an Australian duck also known as the White-eyed Duck, and the critically-endangered Baer's Pochard of China. The total population of Baer's Pochard is probably fewer than 1,000 individuals.
The genus is rounded out by the New Zealand Scaup, Ferruginous Duck and the Common Pochard, which bears a striking resemblance to the Redhead. The Common Pochard ranges through Europe and Asia.
Another member of the genus, the Madagascar Pochard, was presumed extinct since the late 1990s. However, the species was re-discovered at Lake Matsaborimena in Madagascar in 2006. Efforts are ongoing to protect and preserve this species. Only 60 individuals, including 18 ducklings hatched in a captive breeding program during the spring of 2012, are known to exist.
A male Red-winged Blackbird made a belated appearance on my year list Thursday, March 7. I saw the bird beneath the feeders before leaving for work. The ground was still blanketed by the snow that had fallen the previous day. Red-winged Blackbirds have been observed since mid-February by several of my friends. I've also received from readers reports of Red-winged Blackbirds stopping at their feeders. So, it was good to finally get this common bird on my list of species for 2013.
Although the American Robin gets most of the publicity as a harbinger of spring, the Red-winged Blackbird is often a more reliable indicator of the waning of winter. In some part of North America, the Red-winged Blackbird tends to return earlier than robins.
Both birds are now on my list for 2013, so I can focus on some new spring arrivals in the coming weeks.
Call me at 297-9077 or 542-4151 to share an observation, make a comment or ask a question. Readers can also send email to email@example.com or email@example.com. I'm also on Facebook.
