Cancer Clusters
What is a cancer cluster?
Cancer clusters get a lot of attention in the media, both in the news and in movies. More than 1,000 suspected cancer clusters are reported to state health departments each year. But just what is a cancer cluster?
Many people tend to think of a cancer cluster as a higher than normal number of cases of cancer in a certain community. Cancer clusters are usually thought to be caused by some type of pollutant or carcinogen (cancer-causing agent).
But scientists usually define a cancer cluster differently. They think of clusters as a greater number of cancer cases than would be expected in a defined geographic area or group of people over a certain period of time. These cases of cancer may not seem to be random, and need to be looked at more closely to find out if they are due to the same cause or carcinogen.
A true cancer cluster almost always involves only one type of cancer. Studying cancer clusters allows scientists to identify areas of increased cancer risk as well as try to figure out what is causing the increase in risk.
What does a cancer cluster look like?
Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. Each type of cancer has its own risk factors and causes. This is why true cancer clusters very rarely involve more than one type of cancer. For it to be considered a true cluster, it usually must have one of the following characteristics:
- There are several cases of a rare type of cancer.
- There are larger than expected numbers of a more common type of cancer.
- It is a type of cancer that is not usually seen in a certain group of people (for example, children getting a cancer usually seen in adults).
If the excess cancer cases include many different types of cancer over a period of many years, it's not likely to be a true cancer cluster. And it's very unlikely to be caused by a single environmental factor or exposure.
It's also important to remember that cancer is common. Nearly half of all men and a little over one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetimes. It's a leading cause of death – cancer causes about 1 out of every 5 deaths in the United States. So, it's fairly common for several people in a relatively small area to develop cancer around the same time.
Most well-documented cancer clusters caused by a shared exposure have not been found in the communities where people live. Rather, they have been seen in the workplace, where exposures to certain compounds or other factors tend to be higher and last longer. Also, the group of exposed people is better defined and easier to trace in workplace groups. In fact, the links between cancer and many cancer-causing agents (called carcinogens) were first found in studies of workers.
Lung, skin, and bladder cancers are the types of cancer most often linked with high-level exposure to workplace carcinogens. Other cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, testicular, and brain cancer sometimes occur in clusters, too.
Statistics can usually help figure out if a cancer cluster is strictly due to chance. But if the excess number of cases reported in a cancer cluster looks significant based on statistics, it does not mean that they are caused by something unique to that area. Some clustering of cancer cases happens by chance, but people tend to notice and report situations where rates seem to be above average.
Who investigates cancer clusters, and how is it done?
People concerned about a possible cancer cluster can report it to a local or state health department. Procedures vary by state, but most health departments will first ask for information, such as:
- The type(s) and number of cancers involved
- Any suspected exposure(s) that might cause cancer
- The area and time period in which the cases occurred
- Specific information about each person thought to be affected
- Specific information about the cancers themselves
After reviewing this information, most of the suspected clusters (as many as 4 of 5) are determined not to be true clusters. For example, the group of people may have different types of cancers, or the number of cases isn't greater than what would be expected given the ages of the people in the group and other risk factors.
If the health department feels that the potential cluster should be studied further, they collect more information. They may try to contact patients or relatives to check diagnoses and other data. Sometimes investigators will ask to see medical records. The health department may do a more in-depth statistical analysis on the number of cases in the affected area and those nearby. Scientists in the health department may also look at reports in the medical literature to see if other clusters like this have been noted in the past.
If needed, the state or local health department may ask federal agencies for help – they tend to have more resources. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the agency most often involved. Other agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences (NIEHS), may also help investigate.
Federal agencies may do a more in-depth investigation, including getting more thorough medical histories. These agencies may also take and test samples from the environment (air, soil, drinking water, etc.), and test blood or other body fluid samples from both affected and non-affected people.
Suspected cancer clusters can cause a great deal of concern and confusion in a community. It's very important that government agencies keep members of the community informed from the start of and throughout the investigation. This should include giving people a realistic idea of what may or may not be found.
What are the possible outcomes of a cluster investigation?
It may not be a true cluster.
In many cases, investigators can determine that a "cluster" of cancers isn't a true cluster. For example, the number of cases may not really be higher than expected when other factors that could explain the increase (such as age, gender, and tobacco use) are taken into account. Or the types of cancer may not be related to each other.
A cancer cluster and its cause may be found.
In some cases, especially when there may be an obvious potential cause, a true cancer cluster may be confirmed. At that point, steps can be taken to address it.
A cancer cluster may be found, but no cause can be identified.
Even if investigators believe that it may be a true cluster, it's important to know that a cause is found very rarely. There are several reasons why this is the case. For example:
Random patterns can form a cluster: Even if the number of cases in an area is higher than expected, it still may not be caused by a single factor or exposure. More cancer cases in the United States are expected in large population centers or in places where the population tends to be older. But even so, for the most part, cancer cases in the United States are spread randomly across the country.
As with any random pattern, there will be more cases than expected in some spots, and fewer cases than expected in others. The areas with more cases than expected are more likely to be noticed. But many of these will be due to the "bull's-eye effect" (which is something like drawing a target on the wall after the darts have been thrown). Suppose you took a map of the United States and started drawing circles of different sizes in different locations. You would find that some of the circles would contain more cancers than expected, and some would have less. Some of the circles with more cases might be clusters caused by a single carcinogen, but most would be due to chance.
You can see this more clearly on a smaller scale if you look at balls on a pool table. Even if the balls are randomly distributed, there are sections of the table with more and other sections with fewer balls than the average for the whole table.
Random patterns are the most common reason for a cancer cluster with no identified cause.
It is very hard to figure out which of many exposures might be the cause: With rare exceptions, scientists don't have a way of telling what trigger (if any) may have caused cancer in any one person, whether it's part of a cluster or not. Humans are not like lab animals – their environments are not strictly controlled. People are exposed to many natural and man-made substances during their lifetimes.
Think about how hard it would be to test for everything you've been exposed to, even if you knew where to start. Investigators may have a few clear leads or starting points, but they need to look at all of the possibilities. Finding the one exposure that may be the cause can be like looking for the needle in the haystack.
There is usually a long delay between exposure and cancer: In clusters where the cause is known, mostly in workplace cases, the time between exposure to the substance and the development of cancer has been anywhere from a few years to several decades. Exposures are not likely to cause cancers right away. And again, it's not easy to study people and their environments.
Suppose a group of people live in a community that has a higher than expected number of cases of a certain type of cancer. If there is a potential cause, investigators first have to figure out when these people were exposed to it. Was it a single event or has it been ongoing? Was it 5 years ago? 10? 20? And what did the people with cancer have in common during that time? Added to this, some people will have moved into the community, while others may have moved away. Should the cases of people who moved into town in recent years be included? And can the people who moved away be found?
The boundaries of the cluster area can be hard to define: Defining the geographic cluster area is not always as clear-cut as one might think it would be. Just how big should the "bull's eye" be? Should it include only the local neighborhood where most of the cases were found? Or should it also include the larger community, or even nearby communities? These areas may have cases that may or may not be related to the others.
Not everyone who is exposed is likely to develop cancer: To make things even more tricky, people may be more or less prone to getting cancer based on their genes. It's unlikely that everyone exposed will develop cancer. At the same time, there may be people who were not exposed who develop the same cancer by chance.
Questions may still remain
Scientists do their best to piece the puzzle together when there is a cancer cluster, but more times than not, they don't find a likely link. This doesn't mean that there isn't one; it may just be that one can't be found with the methods scientists have at the time.
Oftentimes there really isn't a link, for the reasons noted before, but it's hard for everyone to feel sure of that. This may be an unsatisfactory answer for people in a community being affected, but it often is the case.
What should I do if I suspect a cancer cluster?
Concern about cancer clusters most often comes up in schools, workplaces, and in certain areas of a community. If you are concerned about a possible cancer cluster, you may want to contact your local or state health department. If you don't know who to call in your area, the CDC has a list of Web links to local and state contacts at www.cdc.gov/nceh/clusters/statelocal.htm. (Also see the "To learn more" section.)
Some of your concerns may be relieved by making a phone call. If not, the health department will probably look into doing a brief investigation and then, if needed, will do a more complete review of the situation. For more complex or urgent situations, the health department may also call in experts from the CDC or other agencies to do a more in-depth investigation.
The investigators may be able to figure out with a fair amount of certainty that there is no true cluster, or that there is a true cluster and it is probably caused by a certain exposure. But in many cases, even when it seems there is a cluster, a single cause cannot be found.
Suspected cancer clusters often greatly distress those involved. It's very important that these situations be handled openly, promptly, and professionally. Even though thorough investigations of potential cancer clusters rarely give clear-cut answers, it's important that communities keep reporting suspected cancer clusters, and that health organizations respond to those concerns.

Planning for biodiversity conservation in large urban areas: the Ecological Framework for Greater Manchester

Recent emphasis on the need for biodiversity protection outside designated areas has resulted in the growing popularity of ecological networks as a planning tool. However, in urban areas high levels of habitat fragmentation and ever present development pressures challenge the creation of networks with the required level of physical and functional connectivity. In addition, recent investigations into the role of gardens and diversity of habitats for biodiversity in urban areas question the image of urban areas as an impermeable and hostile matrix. The authors offer an alternative to the ecological networks approach to landscape scale conservation in cities ¿ Ecological Framework. This approach places an emphasis on incorporating both public and private space and area-specific use of planning control policies. This approach is tested by a GIS based analysis of spatial data on gardens, distribution of semi-natural and natural habitats and presence of land cover mosaics in Greater Manchester, UK in order to identify areas of the highest ecological significance. These areas are then combined to form the Ecological Framework. The authors present strategies for maintenance of the Ecological Framework and discuss the threats and opportunities for this approach in the context of spatial planning in the UK.

Local Search Thoughts
As we head into 2010 local search seems to be a hot topic. As search has continued to go more local it is more important than ever before to have a plan for your business to be found when people search. One fact that brings this home is that in 2008 people searching for local businesses online grew by 58 percent, it will be real interesting to see what that number is in 2009 since so many have moved to the iPhone, with the ease of use of the current smart phones it is only natural that mobile searches will skew even more local.
I was reading a great post over at LocalSEOGuide.com and after preaching a lot of this over the last year to anyone who would listen it was great to see a leader in the space validate much of what we had been seeing.
A couple bullet points to point out:
SMB SEO Budgets Will Increase Dramatically
A number of misguided souls are predicting that personalized search renders SEO obsolete. Bottom line: most SMBs don't know what they are doing with search, are going nuts because some spammer or the guy down the street outranks them, want to spend more time with their kids and are ready to hire someone to make the problem go away.
SEO Consultants Will Become Better Known as Marketers
2009 seemed like the year when a lot of SMBs woke up to the fact that SEO actually existed and could be an important part of the marketing mix. In 2010 more businesses are going to start to realize that search and social media could be the biggest area of potential for their companies and they will pour more resources into these channels. As a result search marketers are going to take on bigger roles helping drive comprehensive marketing strategies.
This last one is something I discuss often in my seminars to small business owners, when you start talking about search engines, the internet, or anything that relates to a computer most small business owners tune out immediately. To most people all of these topics are purely technical and seem to be of little consequence to them.
But after showing examples of businesses being found with local search and using real case studies it clicks with them that they are actually using the internet to find services and businesses JUST LIKE THEIR CUSTOMERS.
It clicks at that point.
The technology is suddenly a marketing tool.
We all know this, but to someone that is not involved on a day to day basis with this there is not an immediate link.
Once that link is created they understand that with the Yellow Pages print edition faltering they better start thinking about a plan to attract those that have went away, and to that great marketing tool called the internet.

Nice post Bruce & thanks for the link to the VERY useful LocalSEOGuide.com, great reading for any Geo owner or local business owner.
This PM was sent to me by a wedding photographer who is also a domainer in response to my recent acquisitions.
"Right now, there is a lot of SEO buzz in the wedding world from this guy, http://www.tofurious.com/2009/09/tofurious-seo-workshop/, so I would expect some real demand for geo wedding generics in the near term."
You now have individial professionals spreading the word inside their own niche professional communities. That is why I predicted a growth in the geo long tail market. Once the message gets out, you will see demand rise.
The whole basis of his message is simple. If I can get domain network that results in 2 to 5 bookings a month. That is $3,000 to $8,000 a month generated from a network that might cost $200 a year to maintain. That is better ROI than most directories, Google Ad Words, etc.

Musician Adam Clayton was born on March 13, 1960, in Chinnor, England. It was in high school that the bass player first met future U2 bandmates Paul Hewson, Dave Evans and Larry Mullen, Jr. After hiring manager Paul McGuinness, the rock group put out several albums. Though their early records were popular, it wasn't until 1987's The Joshua Tree, which many call a masterpiece, that U2 tasted superstardom.
Success with U2
Musician Charles Adam Clayton was born on March 13, 1960 in Chinnor, Oxford, England. After bristling under the confines of private boarding school, Clayton transferred to Ireland's ecumenical Mount Temple High School, where the bass player met future U2 bandmates Paul Hewson, Dave Evans and Larry Mullen Jr. After hiring manager Paul McGuinness, the rock group put out several albums. The third, 1983's War, was a huge success. Though its early records were popular, it wasn't until 1987's The Joshua Tree, which many call a masterpiece, that U2 tasted superstardom.
Thanks to a sweeping sound and nonstop tour schedule, U2 went on to become one of the most popular rock and roll bands of the 1980s. Their songs often had an unabashed political, revolutionary agenda, which only added to their appeal. The band was particularly outspoken on human-right issues, plaing a major role in the Live Aid concert for African famine relief in 1985 and the Live 8 concert in 2005. That same year, U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

High iOS 6 Data Usage? Turn off iCloud,
Yup - had that off already. I am envious, in the best way. Would love one switch that solves this problem - but the data drain continues unabated.
Thanks so much for your help, even if it did not relate to the issues on my phone.

My wife's iphone 4 with iOS version 6.1.3 has this same problem. I tried turning off the icloud settings one by one so see if that helped, but it didn't. I ended up deleting the icloud account from the iphone and problem solved. Looks like Apple needs to look at icloud ASAP for a bug fix.

The amount of "fixes" proposed is amazing, but it seems clear to me that as a community we have not bottomed out this issue. I still use 1-3 MG per day doing very little but my monthly contract; abroad recently, just looked at a few emails and that demanded 13 MG! Fortunately O2 has 15 MG for £2.00 per day. I have heard, from O2 call centre staff, that this is not "just me" and some people can go through much more per day without doing much. With 45,000 views on this thread - I hope someone from Apple is working on this.

Stan, indeed, there is, what seems to be, a large number of views on this thread. But, compared to the number of iphones out there, it is a very small number indeed.
Many have asked Apple to respond. None have received a response that is in any way satisfactory.
It is quite frustrating - but it does seem that this issue is being completely ignored.
Too bad. I hope this becomes something they take notice of soon - before I have to depart this platform I have honestly loved for years.

And now, it seems that my iPhone is not downloading data when wifi is turned off - thank goodness, (though I have no idea why), but it IS downloading data when on wifi at the rate of .02MB per second - for NO REASON AT ALL.
Everything is turned off. I have been through all the fixes and all the suggestions on this very long string of messages - but there is definitely something in the iOS that is sucking down data. And that data is going nowhere.
I now must check and recheck again and again to be sure that it is not downloading data when wifi is off - and I must keep wifi off even when home so that my battery doesn't drain.
APPLE! When will you wake up to this serious issue???

Ugh, happened to my wife's iphone 4 a few months back, deleted icloud, fixed. Today it happened to my iphone 4s, deleted icloud, fixed. This is a major issue for me. I'm going to look into Android for my upgrades now unless apple can whip up a fix ASAP on this...

I had the same issue - used over 20 GB per month for over 2 months. The carrier (Rogers) was of no help. Took the phone to the Apple store and they did a factory reset. Problem solved, although I am keeping an eye on the data usage.

This issue is deplorable. Please take a moment and read the above link. I found this after 3 hours on the phone with AT&T and 3 hours with Apple. Everyone was quite polite and civilized but I know if I can find this in a google search these people can as well. If neither AT&T or Apple will listen or make a change it is time to call for a class action.

I agree with INNRCHLD.
Here's my perspective: This problem has been going on for what seems to be over a year now - It just happened to myself and my mother at the same time and when talked to Rogers and Apple they claimed they had no idea what could possibly be causing our data usage. They had racked up our bill to over $200 in data usage charges in two months and never once even mentioned this aparently common issue. It's looking clear to me that they are taking advantage of this iCloud bug to basicaly steal money. I know at least 5 people who have all had the same issue. I can't imagine how much money they would have taken in off my mother if I hadn't found out what it was and stopped it for her - she's clueless about this stuff.

Asheville - A new application on the Asheville Police Department's webpage allows the public direct access to many police reports. Police to Citizen (P2C) allows members of the public to view police records, search for specific incidents, and access crash reports on demand. "The addition of this function is another step forward in the easy flow of information between the police department and the public," said Asheville Police Chief William Anderson. "Many public police records will now be accessible with the click of a button."
The P2C application is one of many tools available through the police department's website at http://www.ashevillenc.gov/Departments/Police.aspx . Additional tools include Text-a-Tip which allows crime tips to be submitted anonymously and Crime Reports © which displays crime data geographically.
"This project with the police department is a great example of recognizing a community need and addressing it through open data," said City of Asheville Chief Information Officer Jonathan Feldman. "The application is also used by the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department and demonstrates how our consolidated public safety data partnership with Buncombe County continues to produce good results for citizens and staff alike."

By Sarah Turner, MarketWatch
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Australian shares ended with small losses on Monday, with Greece yet to announce a deal with its private bondholders.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO -0.55% slipped 0.3% to 4225.10. The index gained 1% last week to notch its third straight week of gains. Australian shares have advanced 4.2% so far in 2012.
U.S. stocks ended mostly higher on Friday, with results from Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT +0.66% and International Business Machines Corp. /quotes/zigman/230066/delayed/quotes/nls/ibm IBM -0.30% helping shore up sentiment.
Dow ends higher for 3rd straight week
Strong earnings from International Business Machines powered blue-chip stocks higher for the fourth consecutive session even as discouraging quarterly reports from other bellwethers kept the broader market flat.
Talks between Greece and its private creditors resumed last Wednesday but the parties have yet to reach an agreement.
Private holders of Greek government debt are being asked to take a loss on their holdings.
Greece needs to cement a deal with its private bond-holders before it can receive more financial assistance and avoid defaulting on a bond repayment due in March.
"Despite some disappointment that no deal has materialized, there has been no real panic selling either," said Stan Shamu, strategist at IG Markets.
Banks were broadly lower, with Westpac Banking Corp. /quotes/zigman/181294/realtime AU:WBC -1.02% /quotes/zigman/181293/delayed/quotes/nls/webnf WEBNF -0.62% shares down 1.1%.
With Nymex light sweet crude oil futures hovering around 98 cents a barrel and high grade copper futures declining in Asian electronic trading hours, miners were dragging on the Australian benchmark.
Shares of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. /quotes/zigman/329628/realtime AU:FMG +2.90% lost 3.7% while Newcrest Mining Ltd. /quotes/zigman/182419/realtime AU:NCM +5.18% /quotes/zigman/182418/delayed/quotes/nls/ncmgf NCMGF -1.22% shares were lower by 0.7%.
In the retail sector, shares of department store operator David Jones Ltd. /quotes/zigman/132194/realtime AU:DJS -1.49% pulled back from early losses to trade up 1.7% while BIllabong International Ltd. /quotes/zigman/264916/realtime AU:BBG -0.86% /quotes/zigman/264915/delayed/quotes/nls/bllaf BLLAF -2.62% shares rose 6.4%.
A tame reading on producer prices came out Monday ahead of Wednesday's key consumer price data.
"I think that CPI will be at a level that's almost irrelevant for policy makers," said Michael Heffernan, senior client adviser at Austock Stockbroking.

After having upgraded my Dell Zino HD equipped with Mobility Radeon HD5450 graphics card from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and downloaded the latest version of AMD Catalyst Control Center 12.10 I no longer can adjust the underscan nor the pixel colour format (which needs to be set to RGB 4:4:4 to avoid a pink screen). In fact when I open the catalyst control center it displays no graphic settings at all!With Windows 7 I was running the AMD Vision Engine Control Center. With Windows 8 the only option is to download the latest version of the Catalyst Control Center.Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can adjust underscan. Right now my PC is pretty useless as a HTPC as the screen has thick black borders and intermittently swicthes to pink.
Your best bet is to go to Dell's support site and use their Win 8 drivers. Doesn't matter the age. Also you should look for bios updates...look for Win8 upgrade from Win7 (or something like that).
I would suggest you read the stickys in this forum as well as check the FAQ forum > http://forums.amd.com/game/categories.cfm?catid=444&flcache=6579987&entercat=y

Hi Stumped,
I got it to work yesterday evening after having just downloaded the AMD driver package but not installing it immediately. Instead I located the downloaded file and then ran it as administrator - now suddenly the AMD vision engine control center was added as a program to be installed!? (previously it was always only the catalyst control center). I do not quite understand the logic here, but it worked and after that when right-clicking on the desktop the engine control center application could be started and from there all the graphic settings were available (including underscan and pixel colour format).
Perhaps in Windows 8 a local account does not automatically have admin rights as was the case for windows 7; but this is just me speculating.
Thanks anyway for your response.
/ Kornblixt
Glad you got it sorted. Windows 8 is throwing everybody some surprises! If you would, could edit your posts' subject line to "Solved"...maybe someone with the same issue will take the time to read it ?
Below I have pasted in the advice provided by Vrikant Yadav (support engineer at Microsoft) thatb appeared on their answers.microsoft.com web page as an answer to my question about Windows 8 and AMD engine control center. Credits to Vrikant.
Method 2:
If the issue still persists, install the drivers in compatibility mode:
Steps to download the drivers in compatibility mode:
1. Place the driver installation file on the Desktop.
2. Right Click on the driver installation file and
3. Select the Compatibility Tab.
4. Click Apply or OK.
5. Right Click on the file and select the Run as Administrator option to install.

Comments about Large Breed Adult Formula:
My vet recommended the Pro Plan line since my dog was a puppy. She is now a senior and I needed to switch her to a senior formula, but none of the stores near me sold the Large Breed Senior Formula.
Wag.com sells it at a good price, and the delivery to my home is fast and easier than lugging huge bag around myself :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Then for the shocking finale, Jackson's two eldest children, Prince Michael and Paris, accepted the Grammys' Lifetime Achievement on their father's behalf. (Michael's youngest son, Prince II aka "Blanket," remained backstage.)
Instead of offering a medley of his biggest records, Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Smokey Robinson joined for a performance of Jackson's "Earth Song" as a 3D version of the video from This Is It played in the background. Additionally, some of Jackson's lead vocals were also used for the live rendition. The featured artists were great choices and offered broad, diverse appeal to the sound of the record. It also made "Earth Song" bigger, like the global anthem "We Are The World" that Jackson co-wrote along with Lionel Richie 25 years ago.Smokey said he was honored to be a part of the tribute. "I hope that people were listening to even more so than seeing," Robinson said to press backstage. "This is it for us. We need to be aware of what we're doing and do something about it before it's too late."
The most moving part of the song was its climax, when each of the performers had a moment to get front-and-center and belt. Hudson shined here, as it was a gospel moment that suited her well. Underwood also captured the passion of the record.
The 3D element was a nice touch, but only offered a few bonuses of dandelions and a fluttering butterfly. But this segment was clearly about the message not the special effects.After the performance, Lionel Richie, who introduced the performance, announced that Jackson's children and their cousins (Tito Jackson's sons) would be accepting their dad's award.
Seeing Jackson's kids walk out was emotional. It was sad because seeing them reminded me of their daily struggle of coping with their father's death. But seeing them was also a joyous experience because they looked vibrant and beautiful. He would be proud.
They appear to have matured so much since we last saw them at the memorial in July. But even more impactful was their composure and strength.
Big brother Prince Michael had the stage presence of his dad as he boldly approached the microphone with his sister and offered an acceptance speech that signaled that he and his siblings were OK."[We] like to thank the fans, our father loved you so much," Prince Michael said. "Our father was always concerned about the planet."
Prince Michael added that his father's music had a universal theme of love. "We will continue to spread his message," he said.
Backstage after the tribute, Prince Michael, Paris, and "Blanket" posed with Lionel Richie for an historical, cross-generational photo opp. As cool as the other award show tributes were, I honestly think this presentation is closer to what Jackson would have wanted. It was not just about him, but about all of us.Click here to see Grammy fashions

Hey everyone

From the looks of the map I probably will stay in the grand glaize arm. This tournament has semi hourly weigh ins and this lake could eat a lot of gas running to the main lake and back to PB2 every 2 hours. What patterns will be predominate Sept.18-21?

I was out on a photo shoot, and ended up spending more time taking pictures of this storm! This is looking North, from Highway 53 by the Plaza 53 shopping center in Virginia. I watched it drop a few funnels, but nothing lasted more than a few seconds. You can see in this picture, near the upper right hand corner, how green the sky was getting. There was also some pretty defined rotation. It's been a very active storm season up here, this being the third or fourth mesocyclone to blow by in about a month's time.

— Baxter Black, Syndicated Columnist
You know the inmates have taken over the asylum when you're turning to PETA as the voice of reason! These are the animal rights extremists who compared eating chicken to the Holocaust, compared the murdering cannibal Jeffery Daumer to butchering hogs, and once proclaimed that it would be great if Foot and Mouth Disease infected animals in the U.S.
A sidebar to the Vancouver Winter Olympics was the saga of an American skater named Johnny Weir who wore fur during his skating routine. According to his agent he was harassed, received hate mail and death threats from animal rights activists. The "corporate factory animal rights groups" including PETA and Friends of Animals denied complicity, although they said they were pleased with the result. Where were the Canadian Mounties? Did the Olympic Committee condemn the threats? Did our State Department or President defend their countryman's right to wear fur? If the Aryan Nation had threatened him because of his race or Al Qaida had threatened him because of his religion, do you think there would have been an outrage on both sides of the border? But animal rights terrorists threatened to kill an athlete because he wears fur. In Canada, no less! After they kill the fur wearers in Vancouver, is the next step to move north and start killing Eskimos?
Picture an American skater being attacked by lunatic animal rights extremists and nobody raising a finger to help. Picture the lone peasant in Tiananmen Square facing the Communist Chinese Army tank. Picture the Ayatollah's Revolutionary Guard surrounding an Iranian protester. Picture Johnny Weir.
My question is "how did we let something like this happen?" Canada and the United States are the bastions of freedom in the world. They are the bright lights that beckon people to come and achieve their dreams. If this Olympic incident had happened in Columbia and the Cocaine Mafia had threatened an athlete, we would not be shocked. If the sons of Saddam had attacked a visiting soccer player for displaying an American flag, we would not be surprised. If North Korea had kidnapped American tourists ... wait a minute ... they did. And if some penny-ante animal-rights thugs had threatened to kill a contestant if he wore fu ... ? The animal rights people had a party. They think they won. But we as a country, both Canada and the United States, as a people sit here uncomfortable in our shame. We allowed our skater, a free man, one of us, to be verbally attacked and coerced and threatened and we stood by hoping it would go away.
To our credit as a nation we are finally seeing public figures stand up to the animal rights intimidation. Mike Rowe - star of Dirty Jobs, Dean Koontz — a popular novel author, and the Zac Brown Band — 2010 Best New Country Artist winners, have told the looneys to "take a hike." We learned after 9/11 that the animal rights contention that "A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy"' is goofy. And those who preach that philosophy that human life has no more value than the life of an animal, have a screw loose.
Regarding Johnny Weir and the Olympics, does anyone really take seriously that a group of quasi-religious ideologues would really kill him for wearing fur? Remember Sept. 5, 1972? Five terrorists climbed the fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany, attacked and killed 11 Israeli athletes. Why? Because they did not believe the same thing the killers did.

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney toured several swing states each on Wednesday as the campaign intensified.
The president, who said he planned on pulling an all-nighter, held a Wednesday morning rally in Iowa, where he once again accused Romney of forgetting his own policies.
Wednesday's itinerary for Obama started in Washington, D.C. before hitting Davenport, Iowa, Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and a red eye to Tampa.
Romney also ramped up his battleground-state tour, hitting Colorado, Nevada, Iowa and Ohio.
"The president's been unable to find an agenda and to communicate an agenda," Romney said in Reno.
NY1 has identified nine states in play: Nevada, Colorado, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. Republicans are also pushing into Maine and possibly Pennsylvania, where Obama is now favored.
Romney's Nevada stop was to a county that he won in 2008.
"I need you to find one person who voted for Barack Obama last time and get them to vote for us this time," Romney said.
Democrats say early voting gives them the advantage. They're also pouncing on Romney's support for an Indiana Republican Richard Mourdock, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
Mourdock was asked Tuesday why he doesn't support abortion rights even in caes of race and incest.
"Life is a gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something God intended to happen," Mourdock said.
Romney only this week cut an ad for Mourdock, which Democrats noted in their own new spot. Romney said he disagrees with Mourdock's view on rape, but still supports him.
It prompted memories of Todd Akin's comments on rape, when Akin said that the female body "has ways to try to shut that whole thing down" in cases of "legitimate rape."
Democrats are hoping they can capitalize on the views to sow distrust among women who are considering voting for Romney.

Although there's no special psoriasis diet, some people find that certain foods worsen their symptoms or that others improve skin inflammation.
It can be difficult to determine what exactly is changing your psoriasis symptoms because the condition itself tends to fluctuate over time — with periods of remission alternating with times when your psoriasis becomes worse.
Recent studies have found that some people who have psoriasis may also be sensitive to gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. In these people, avoiding gluten may ease their psoriasis symptoms.
If you are concerned about gluten sensitivity, ask your doctor about tests you can take to either confirm or rule out this condition.
