U.S. Troops Need to Leave Afghanistan. Now. Stop the Occupations. Pay Reparations.
World Can't Wait and others are responding to the killings yesterday in Afghanistan that at least one US Army staff sergeant is alleged to have carried out. 16 Afghan civilians including children were killed inside homes, in 2 villages, in completely unprovoked aggression, according to witnesses.
Here, villagers protest outside the U.S. base in the Panjwai District of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.
World Can't Wait at Left Forum NYC March 16-18
War Criminals Watch is participating in Left Forum at Pace University, 3/16-18.
We will be presenting two great panels:
Does it Matter Whether Obama "Wants" War on Iran?
I've been hearing, since Obama's remarks this week that, "The one thing we have not done is we have not launched a war" on Iran, that Barack Obama doesn't "want" a war. That could be true.
But every speech he has given on about Iran shows the one thing he won't give up on: domination of Iran, and the whole region. If that takes war, then, Obama says, he will wage it. He said to the AIPAC meeting a few days ago,
"Iran's leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. And as I have made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests."
A Dissonance Between Obamas Words and Actions
In the 3 years Barack Obama has been commander in chief of the US empire, a lot of people have been impressed with Obama's way with words; partly because of the noticeable contrast with with George Bush's practiced malapropisms and deliberate mispronunciations (i.e. "NUKE u lar").
But look closer at Obama's words, and, even more importantly, his actions, to determine how people who care about humanity assess this president.
Bradley Manning Formally Charged, Still No Trial
The Manning prosecution is a tragic miscarriage of justice. US officials are highly embarrassed by what Manning exposed and are shooting the messenger. As Glen Greenwald, the terrific Salon writer, has observed, President Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers for espionage than all other presidents combined.
Drop All Charges Against Bradley Manning! from Veterans for Peace
"Where is the justice?" asks Gerry Condon, a Board member of Veterans For Peace. "The Army is shirking its duty to punish soldiers who have committed rape and murder. Yet they are trying to destroy the life of Bradley Manning, who has not harmed a hair on a person's head."
Wikileaks Emails: The US Gov't Outsources Political Repression
With multiple media partners, including Rolling Stone, Wikileaks is releasing 5 million emails from the private security company Stratfor. Michael Hastings (whose article led to the firing of General McChrystal from commanding in Afghanistan), writes in Homeland Security Kept Tabs on Occupy Wall Street:
Voices of Conscience Against War on Iran
Aggressive war, against a country that has not attacked the aggressor country, is the supreme war crime. We said it on February 4 across the nation. I talked about it outside the US Mission to the UN (see video).
We won't stop saying it. Here's another chance:
Sunday March 4 in Washington, D.C., when President Obama speaks at the 2012 Convention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, we'll be there, with a visible anti-war protest, along with Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and the Occupy movement.

ACT Against the Suppression of the Occupy Movement!
ACT Against the Suppression of the Occupy Movement!
Tuesday, February 28 • Union Square 4 pm-Gather; 5 pm-Rally; 6 pm-March
Around the world and in every walk of life, people were heartened by the rise of the Occupy Movement. In NYC and in almost a thousand US cities people broke through the confines of "protest as usual" and declared "the empire has no clothes!" A new kind of community in public space was created. Big questions were raised about what kind of society this is and what it should be.
When World Can't Wait was started in 2005, we issued the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime, which said in part: "That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn - or be forced - to accept."
This is a lesson which has been learned by people throughout history and around the world, including throughout the Middle East now, and must be understood by people in this country as well.
Bradley Manning to be arraigned at Ft Meade on Feb 23
The US Army last week scheduled a formal arraignment hearing for PFC Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower. The arraignment is scheduled for 1:00 PM EST, February 23, 2012 at Fort Meade, Maryland, just northeast of Washington DC. While the hearing itself is expected to be brief, PFC Manning is expected to be present, and the proceedings are open to the media and public. Washington DC area supporters of the Support Network are encouraged to attend the arraignment.
Court Martial expected in May
Still Locked Away in Guantánamo
Words of a man cleared for release - yet still locked away in Guantánamo:
Shaker [Aamer] also explained that he "does not expect President Obama to do anything better than his predecessor, President Bush. Presidents are, he thinks, hemmed in by the powers that surround them." In his own words, "The White House is a straitjacket. You just wear it."

We Shut Down the Military Recruiting Stations
Yesterday, approximately fifty people including students from Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) along with members of Occupy Wall Street, Veterans For Peace, War Resisters League and World Can't Wait shut down three military recruiting stations that are situated within one block from BMCC and Stuyvesant High School on Chambers St. in Manhattan. Students and others gathered outside the gates of BMCC on Wednesday morning demanding "Stop the Wars, Stop the Recruiters!"
Make Tuesday F28 a Day of Mass Action Everywhere; Stand with Occupy. STOP the Suppression of the Occupy Movement!
World Can't Wait is supporting the Call for Mass Action Against the Suppression of the Occupy Movement. It's not only the barricades and batons, constant surveillance, mass arrests, and escalating charges against occupiers. It's the fact that these occupations have been pushed and beaten from public squares, and squeezed into the margins.
Don't wait for "something" to happen in the spring. Join the F28 actions now:

In Air America: Under the Imperial Eye, Chris Floyd reports on the recent revelation that Iraq's supposedly "sovereign airspace" is constantly under surveillance by a network of drones operated by the State Department. Apparently the only reason this news came to light is because of a publicly available government appeal for private bids on the project. Neither we nor Iraqis were meant to know:
"Iraqis were outraged this week to find they are being spied upon by a fleet of American drones hovering constantly in their supposedly sovereign skies, long after the supposed withdrawal of American forces."
NO War on Iran NO Sanctions NO Intervention NO Assassinations
I know I am not the only one to experience déjà vu over the Obama administration's assessment of threats by Iran to the US. James Clapper, Obama's top intelligence officer stated as fact yesterday, according to the New York Times, that:
"some Iranian officials — probably including supreme leader Ali Khamenei — have changed their calculus and are now more willing to conduct an attack in the United States in response to real or perceived U.S. actions that threaten the regime."

Don't Suppress the Occupy Movement: 400 Arrested at Occupy Oakland
Saturday, Oakland police in riot gear fired smoke, tear gas, flash bang grenades and rubber bullets at Occupy Oakland protesters trying to take a vacant building this afternoon. Near the Oakland Museum of California, demonstrators had planned to take a building nearby and make it a headquarters. But, police were prepared to stop then from occupying the vacant building. More from Kevin Gostzola in Mass Arrest of Occupy Oakland Protesters After Police Fire Various Weapons.
Sunday night, there were solidarity marches in dozens of cities.
No War on Iran - Nationwide Demontrations - Feb. 4,2012
Many hundreds of you took the Quiz: Iran, Who is the Real Threat? The percentage of people who got all 7 correct answers from last week's results is 26%, which is much better than the general public. If you regular readers gave us your mailing address, expect a prize in the mail soon.
Design A Leaflet for Our "Iran: Who is the Real Threat? Quiz"
Calling artists and designers. We would like you to design a great leaflet for our Iran quiz. Please send us your layout at firstname.lastname@example.com . Thanks!
Political debate in the United States over recent weeks has increasingly focused on when, not if, sanctions and military action will be launched against Iran. How informed are you about the situation?
Please answer all questions.
Iran: Who Is The Real Threat?
In 2007, when the Bush regime was threatening to attack Iran, with substantially the same justification that the U.S. is now using to impose sanctions, carry out secret operations, and prepare the population for more war, World Can't Wait made a quiz. We administered it on dozens of college campuses, and on street corners.
Close Guantánamo Now
Hi everyone,
I'm writing in the hope that you might be able to publicize the new "Close Guantanamo" campaign, and specifically the petition calling on President Obama to close Guantanamo, which is on the White House's "We the People" website.
The petition is here:https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/close-guantanamo-now/6cMPlxQw
We're seeking to secure 25,000 signatures by February 6, so please, if this concerns you, sign the petition, publicize it, and tell ten of your friends and relations to sign it. With your help, we can reach our target, I'm sure!
NO war NO sanctions NO intervention NO assassinations
This week, more than a dozen anti-war organizations responded to a call by World Can't Wait to plan for a day of Mass Action against war or on sanctions on Iran. We united on a day, Saturday February 4, for the first action, and a simple set of demands:
Unjust Wars Require Dehumanizing the "Enemy"
Sometimes an event breaks into the mainstream media that reveals the truly brutal, oppressive nature of the armed forces of the US and the wars they are fighting. At a moment when we are being told by the oh-so-rational and humane administration of Barack Obama and Co. that we must line up behind a new aggressive war against an oil-producing Central Asian country, the recently released video of US soldiers urinating on Afghan corpses has exposed the way "our" soldiers view the entire population of the region: as subhuman.
Now we must challenge Americans to not look away from these terrible images, but absorb what these incidents tell us about the essence of what is still happening in our names: unjust, illegitimate violence unleashed by the most powerful against some of the poorest people on the planet.
More on the week of action to Close Guantánamo, Stop Indefinite Detentio
Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, New York 300+ cities: Without doubt, last week saw the largest protests yet against the torture and detention policies of the US in Washington, DC.
No War, No Sanctions on Iran!
When Iranian director Asghar Farhadi received the Golden Globe award for Best Foreign Film Sunday night, he said:
When I was coming up on the stage, I was thinking what should I say here. Should I say something about my mother, father, my kind wife, my daughters, my dear friends, my great and lovely crew. But now I just prefer to say something about my people. I think they are a truly peace-loving people. Thank you very much.
January 11, 2012 Demonstration to Close Down Guantánamo Prison on it 10th Anniversary
Yesterday in Washington, we massed in front of all 3 branches of the government reported to represent "freedom and democracy for all." About 800 of us marched from the White House, past the Department of Justice, and stood in front of the Supreme Court, opposite the Capitol. Amnesty International brought a lot of students.

On the former First Lady Betty Ford
On Tuesday, I traveled to St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert to attend the memorial services for former First Lady Betty Ford. It was a truly beautiful and moving service that honored the spirit of my dear friend with an extraordinary sense of peace and grace. I wish you all could have been there with me, and in so many ways I felt you there in spirit.
Sitting in front of me were Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Roselyn Carter—each one there in friendship and respect for the remarkable woman they had learned so much from and loved so dearly over the years. I thought about how Mrs. Ford shook convention by announcing to the world that she had breast cancer and how she invited us all to witness her experience in such a personal way. Someone pointed out at the service that she "introduced an entire generation to the whispers of breast cancer." And she did, it's true. She was a great inspiration for my sister Susan who fought valiantly but ultimately lost her battle with breast cancer. She was an inspiration and a catalyst for me too, especially in those early years after Suzy died—she gave so freely of her time and her wisdom. Standing beside us at fundraisers and early events, Betty Ford infused our actions with confidence and made our fledgling group feel that we could change things, we could make a difference, we could end breast cancer forever.
I considered Betty Ford a dear friend and knew I could always count on her guidance. When I discovered the lump in my own breast that was diagnosed as breast cancer, she was the first to call. She helped me stay clear and think beyond the terror, offering words of encouragement that have stayed with me for almost 30 years. I am grateful for the voice she helped me strengthen in myself and raise in concert with so many others.
Because Betty Ford was brave enough to be herself and speak her own mind, millions have found their voices too. Together we've brought the call-to-action to end breast cancer from a fearful whisper to an undeniable roar. And as a result, breast cancer death rates are falling; treatments are improved, millions are screened, and women everywhere know that they are never alone with this disease. This is the door that Betty Ford opened for us. With gratitude for the bold and courageous life that she lived, we must keep that door open and never let complacency allow us to give up the fight.
It was truly a privilege to sit in that beautiful sanctuary where the woman who made such a difference in my sister's life, and in my own, was being honored—and to offer thanks for the extraordinary work that she did here on Earth. Let us learn from her life well-lived, a woman not afraid to be herself; who took on our issues, told us not to be afraid, helped us find our voices and showed us we could change. May she rest in exquisite peace.
Our visit to the FORCE Conference
We were very honored to receive an award from FORCE, which stands for "Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered," whose mission is to help women face the risk of hereditary breast or ovarian cancer proactively. Our Director of Education, Susan Brown, accepted on behalf of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and had some heartbreaking and joyous insights to share from the experience.
The conference activities really showed FORCE's mission in action! There were information sessions from clinical experts, including past and present grantees of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. There were presentations about basic genetics, decision-making, complementary and integrative medicine, exercise, diet, hormones, writing your story, BRCA gene mutations in men, chemoprevention, menopause, and more and more, and LOTS of photographs and presentations about reconstructive surgery. One of the greatest challenges of the conference for me was deciding which session to attend!
But at least as important to attendees as the scientific and medical sessions and information was the networking – the sharing of personal stories and information. At every table and in every corner you could see heads nodding as personal stories were shared with others who had faced or were facing the same frightening and bewildering situations and incredibly difficult and life-changing decisions.
And, then there was the "show and tell" – a closed door session with more than a hundred women showing each other the results of their reconstruction surgeries. As Sue Friedman, founder and executive director of FORCE told me, "We used to do this in the bathroom. So, now we have a bigger room…"
Talk about efficient or one-stop shopping, this was THE place to be to learn a lot about the facts about heredity cancers for those at increased risk and the place to meet so many others there to do the same thing. And even though there were tearful moments, it was not a depressing or sad place. It was a place of empowerment and support!
I met mothers and daughters, sisters, husbands and wives. One young woman was so happy to be there, to be in a place where she could TALK about her gene mutation and what it meant to her. Her family won't talk to her about the genetic mutation in their family; they think she is crazy for having her breasts removed; she didn't think she had even had a card or phone call from them when she had the surgery. I met her on Thursday night at the welcoming reception and she couldn't wait to share her story and hear from others.
I met a nurse practitioner who works in women's health who is finishing up work on her doctorate to understand how women feel after they have make their decisions based on their genetic predisposition for cancer. I met an English professor, Amy Boesky, who has published a book, "What We Have," her memoir about how she grew up with the threat of cancer hanging over her head. I met a genetic counselor who talked about her work and who was attending the conference for the first time – and on a Komen for the Cure scholarship.
I met physicians and other FORCE advocates who are frustrated and anxious about the future of the research and availability of PARP inhibitors in the U.S. and worldwide and another who was celebrating the recent legislation in Michigan requiring specific elements in their informed consent prior to genetic testing. I talked to women from Australia, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany and Latin America – all either at increased risk of hereditary cancers themselves or working with women who are at risk.
80% of the more than 500 attendees were attending for the first time.
There were exhibitors at the conference – providing information on topics from reconstructive techniques to clinical trials, selling products ranging from healthy cooking cookbooks to jewelry, to denim flip flops with the FORCE logo to tees and more. Our own Komen Central Florida Affiliate was there with our interactive educational game complete with big green spinning wheel – and the line was long at every break to participate to try to get the answer right and win a prize.
One reason I was there was to receive The Spirit of Empowerment Award for Advocacy that was being presented to Komen. These awards given by FORCE recognize the contributions of individuals and organizations that help empower, support and educate the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer community. I was honored to represent Susan G. Komen for the Cureand our work in advocacy, specifically as we collaborated with FORCE on important issues, including the passage of the EARLY Act, our response to USPSTF guideline changes and promoting PARP inhibitor research.
And, as often happens at meetings and conferences, I met people who are involved with Komen in many ways – in local Affiliates, as participants in Race or other events, involved with public policy locally, Grantees, volunteers , industry friends and corporate sponsors. It is rewarding and energizing meeting so many people who have been touched by Komen in so many ways.
And, as I was heading to the airport, there were predictions of big thunderstorms and there were huge, tall, big black clouds in the sky. I managed to get on as a standby passenger. On my way home a little earlier than expected, I was able to think about what I had learned and the people I had met, and to see how Komen's support of this conference had helped FORCE act on their founding principle that no one should face hereditary cancer alone.
Celebrating the 22nd annual Global Race with Vice President & Dr. Biden
In what is fast becoming an annual tradition, Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden for the third year in a row served as the Honorary Chairs for the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure® in Washington, D.C. And while they were unable to join us in person for the June 4 event, they once again graciously opened their home to more than 200 breast cancer survivors, supporters and community leaders for our annual Global Race Celebration at the Naval Observatory on June 10.
Our founder and CEO, Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, reminded everyone that in a town often divided by the political colors red and blue, we all boldly wear pink as a show of our united fight against breast cancer. And with events like last week's Global Race, we are making a big impact in communities all across the world. Thanks to the generous support of our partners, supporters and the tens of thousands of Global Race participants from across the National Capital Area – and the world – who walked, ran and fundraised over the past year, we raised $5 million that will enable us to continue our work investing in local community breast health education, screening and treatment programs. It will also help us build on our work globally to share our knowledge and experience and to fund education and breast health services in regions where few exist.
Dr. Biden, a long-time advocate in the fight against breast cancer, was introduced at the celebration by TODAY Show co-host and breast cancer survivor Hoda Kotb. In her remarks, Dr. Biden noted that "some of us are in the midst of battling breast cancer, some have beaten it, and some have lost a loved one to this terrible disease, but all of us must be a part of the race to find a cure."
Doing her own part to empower women in this fight, Dr. Biden founded The Biden Breast Health Initiative in Delaware nearly 20 years ago, which has now trained more than 10,000 high school girls about the importance of early detection, breast cancer prevention and good health.
"Many of you know that I became actively involved in the fight against breast cancer about 20 years ago after several of my friends were diagnosed with the disease. One of those friends lost her battle and I saw then just what a terrible adversary breast cancer could be," said Dr. Biden. "My answer was to approach the problem as an educator."

2011 ASCO: Parting Thoughts
As a long-time breast cancer advocate, I've attended many scientific conferences, including several annual meetings of the American Society of Oncology (ASCO). The big breast cancer news coming out of ASCO this year was not about treating breast cancer but preventing it. But more about that later.
Oncology research meetings are known for their slides with lots of charts and graphs that have interesting names like forest plot, waterfall graph, Manhattan plot, Kaplan-Meier curve, and — new for me this year — volcano plot. The dots and curves represent people, yet you rarely see a picture of a real person with cancer. The researchers do, however, thank and recognize the contribution of their patients, the men and women who participate in clinical research studies.
Take, for example, the breast cancer prevention study. More than 4,500 women who did not have breast cancer but were identified as being at higher risk for the disease, agreed to participate in this news-making study. The results, presented on Sunday, showed the women who took exemestane (an anti-estrogen drug) for five years were much less likely to develop breast cancer than the women who did not receive the active drug.
In another important study, 500-plus women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer agreed to be randomized (assigned by chance) to receive chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus a new, targeted therapy called iniparib. In this case, the results were considered to be negative because the new drug did not appear to provide additional benefit. But negative results are not all negative because they advance research and our understanding of breast cancer.
Just two years ago, at this very meeting, iniparib made news based on the results of a Phase II trial. The earlier and much smaller trial showed very encouraging results for the women who received iniparib. Though the results from the more recent study are disappointing, they do illustrate the importance of large Phase III trials. It's also important to note that this Phase III trial was completed very quickly in large part because so many women were willing to participate in the study.
It's too soon to say whether exemestane will be adopted as a prevention drug or if iniparib will have a place in the treatment of breast cancer, but we all owe our gratitude to the women who participated in these two studies. It's because of them and the many women before them who have enrolled in other breast cancer research studies that we have made progress against this disease.
There are still many unanswered questions about breast cancer, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure is directing significant dollars for research into the most challenging issues: treating triple negative breast cancer and metastatic disease and strategies for preventing breast cancer, to name a few. Some of this research has already led to new clinical trials that are currently enrolling participants, and I have no doubt we be hearing about the contributions of these women at future meetings.

2011 ASCO Annual Meeting
Guest post from Shelley Fuld Nasso, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Director of Public and Medical Affairs
Right now, 30,000 people in the field of oncology have converged in Chicago for the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The theme for the meeting is Patients, Pathways, Progress. For advocates, it is an incredible opportunity to hear presentations of the latest cancer research and interact with researchers, including many who have been funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It also means a LOT of walking between sessions, receptions, briefings, and meetings. Thank goodness for comfortable shoes.
I wanted to share some of my own highlights from the first two days of the meeting, starting with the sweeping and inspirational Presidential Address by Dr. George W. Sledge, Jr., ASCO President and member of Komen's Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Sledge talked about "stupid cancers," which are easier to treat effectively, and "smart cancers," which are much more difficult to treat, are more likely to be resistant to treatment, and have a higher chance of recurrence. Dr. Sledge also talked about the new genomic era of cancer research that will be required to target the biology of smart cancers, and he outlined systemic changes that will be needed to meet the challenges of the genomic era, including changes in the oncology workforce, clinical trials system, and regulatory framework.
In a tribute session to Dr. Sledge as he concludes his year as ASCO president, his colleagues toasted him and spoke of his dedication to his patients and to his mentees, whose careers in breast cancer research he has fostered and encouraged. A team of his patients and friends – aptly named Sisters Sledge – participate in the Komen Central Indiana Race for the Cure every year. Dr. Sledge is clearly a compassionate, caring physician, in addition to being a leader in breast cancer research and clinical practice.
I also had the honor of meeting Dr. Jane Cooke Wright, who was one of the seven oncologists who founded ASCO in 1964, and the only woman. She was a trailblazer in many ways as an African-American woman and a leading researcher, and she was a pioneer in developing chemotherapy treatments.
Here are some other highlights from the sessions and posters I visited.
Dr. Bryan Schneider of Indiana University Simon Cancer Center presented significant early results of his work funded by a Komen Promise Grant. Dr. Schneider and his team identified a genetic marker that predicts whether patients receiving the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel are more likely to experience neuropathy, or nerve damage. Neuropathy is a common side effect of chemotherapy and can limit patients' ability to function and interrupt treatment. In the future, this discovery may help physicians counsel patients about the risks and benefits of the treatment.
Amy Bulman of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Office of Advocacy Relations presented to patient advocates about the Advocates in Research Working Group's recommendations on how NCI can meaningfully engage advocates in the research conducted and funded by the NCI.
Dr. Albert Neugut of Columbia University received the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Improving Cancer Care Grant, funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Dr. Neugut will conduct a randomized trial of women with breast cancer who are receiving adjuvant hormone therapy to see if text messages via cell phone improve adherence to the prescribed therapies. This study will also analyze the cost-effectiveness of efforts to improve adherence.
Dr. Ann Partridge, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a Komen Scholar, presented results of the ASCO Breast Cancer Registry Pilot, also funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The pilot confirmed the feasibility of collecting data to support quality assessment in oncology practices. Additionally, the project used the data to create treatment summaries for patients, improving communication with patients about their care. A presentation later in the meeting by Dr. Victoria Blinder of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will explore patient satisfaction with the treatment summaries.
Mary Lou Smith and Elda Railey, co-founders of Research Advocacy Network, presented their survey of patients with metastatic breast cancer and analysis of patient perspectives when making treatment decisions. The survey presented participants with two hypothetical treatment options, each with a specified likelihood of both benefit and side effects, and asked participants to select a treatment or choose not to treat. Respondents under age 50 were more likely to choose treatments than older counterparts, and women with young children (under age 12) were much more likely to try any treatment option, even with a high likelihood of side effects. Analysis like this is important to understand the factors women weigh in selecting treatments or deciding to stop treatment.
Dr. Anne Marie Murphy, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force, analyzed breast cancer quality metrics at facilities in Chicago and found that the majority of institutions were not able to show that they met benchmark quality measures. The Chicago Breast Cancer Quality Consortium, a project of the task force, was founded with a $1 million grant from Komen to address disparities in outcomes for African American women in Chicago, who were dying at a rate 62 percent higher than white counterparts with breast cancer. A subsequent grant from Komen is allowing the consortium to provide support and quality improvement interventions to institutions in Chicago.
In preparing to come to this meeting, I pored through the list of abstracts for presentations by Komen-funded researchers. There is simply not enough time to attend all the presentations with ties to Komen. So this is just a sample of some of the presentations and posters I attended in the first two days of the meeting.
Obviously it is a very busy meeting. So busy, in fact, that there's not much time to enjoy the beauty and culture of Chicago. But I did have one cultural treat when my cabdriver, who is also a blues musician who plays at the famed Kingston Mines, played the harmonica for me (while driving, no less!).

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."
"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."
Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Sept. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Astex" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ASTX) relating to the proposed acquisition by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Otsuka").
Click here to learn more about the investigation http://brodsky-smith.com/635-astx-astex-pharmaceuticals-inc.html, or call: 877-534-2590. There is no cost or obligation to you.
Under the terms of the transaction, Astex shareholders will receive only $8.50 in cash for each share of Astex stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Astex for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process. The transaction may undervalue the Company as analysts have set price targets of $13.00 per share and $9.00 per share. In addition, the offer price is below the premium paid to shareholders in comparable transactions.
If you own shares of Astex common stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions. You may contact Jason L. Brodsky, Esquire or Evan J. Smith, Esquire at Brodsky & Smith, LLC, Two Bala Plaza, Suite 602, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, by e-mail at email@example.com, by visiting

It's my birthday on Sunday. I know, thanks. And no, no, nothing huge, just some drinks with friends. You see I usually like birthdays. Never had a bad one. But this year, I'm dreading it. Why? Because it's slap bang in the middle of the Eclipalypse.
Unless you've been living in a box (or don't follow Chanel-wearing, uber-astrologer to the stars, Susan Miller) you might not be aware that this April is a big month in astrology: two eclipses - one today and one on the 29th – are set to disrupt our work and personal lives.
So, bad is this apparent astro mash up that Susan Miller has been giving classes on how to cope with it. The worst affected are allegedly those with birthdays in April (me, hiya) and those whose birthday falls between the eclipses (again, me, hiya). And today is the start.
I never used to believe in stars and moons and horoscopes but I can't help feeling impending dread. As a result I have cancelled any meetings with bosses (we will apparently 'come to blows'), anything involving money (I brought in my lunch) and anything involving 'a spouse' with whom relations may reach 'an emotional apex' (sorry, babe).
Of course this may all be horoscope hokum; a huge pile of astro-baloney. I mean how can this possibly apply to EVERYONE ON THE PLANET? But all I'm saying is that once my mortgage fell through on the day that Susan Miller said my 'mortgage would fall through.'
So call me paranoid, but I'm battening down the hatches til May. See you on the other side people.

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Withdrawal With Electricity
Many recipients of NeuroElectric Therapy swear by its ability to reduce withdrawal symptoms and enable long-term sobriety.
NeuroElectric Therapy may sound like something out of science fiction, but it's actually been around for several decades. It sends small pulses of electric current across the head—and this seems to have the effect of reducing withdrawal symptoms. By applying the currents regularly for about a week, practitioners say that NET "reestablishes the body's natural levels of neurotransmitters disrupted by chronic substance abuse." It's claimed that NET, coupled with a rehab program, helps patients achieve a higher abstinence rate than traditional treatment alone. NeuroElectric Therapy is a form of Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation that was developed specifically for substance withdrawal in the early '70s, and stars like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards were among the early recipients.
One British patient named Sue, a 48-year-old former heroin user, tells The Fix that she underwent NET in May 2009, following previous attempts to kick and methadone and Subutex maintenance treatment. She kept a diary during the week-long procedure, and on Day Three wrote, "I feel fuckin' wonderful, can't believe how good I feel. I would normally feel like this physically if I had gone cold turkey off the meth after 5 weeks & this has taken 3 days." She tells us now, "Compared to other withdrawals, it was one of the easiest in the last 20 years. It took away at least 60% of withdrawal symptoms." She no longer feels any cravings and hopes that the treatment—which is prevalent in the US and regulated by the FDA—will become more common in the UK, where it's still rare. She feels that NET has set her mind back to how it was before her decades of drug abuse.

November 22, 2014
A western Nebraska man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for distributing child pornography.
Fifty-two-year-old Ralph Moreno, of Gering, was sentenced in Lincoln's federal court.
Investigators say last fall, videos of child pornography were downloaded from Moreno's computer, and a review of his computer revealed more than 200 child porn videos collected over a five-year period. Authorities say the videos depicted children between the ages of 6 and 12 engaged in sex acts.
There is no parole in the federal prison system. Moreno must register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

Not-guilty plea expected in death at Danville chief's home
"It's our view that Chief Parsons has not committed any infraction or breach of the law, but under the circumstances it's something that we will deal with in the court system," his defense attorney, Alan Cronheim of Sisti Law Offices, said Thursday.
He is accused of leaving his Glock 22 .40-caliber handgun unsecured on top of a safe inside his home at 53 Caramel Drive on March 11.
While Parsons was gone, his girlfriend's 15-year-old son, Jacob Carver, shot himself. Reams described the shooting as a suicide; the autopsy results were not released at the request of the boy's family.
The charge — a violation punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 — resulted from an investigation by New Hampshire State Police and a review by the County Attorney's Office.
The state statute used in the case against Parsons is RSA 650-C:1 and reads: "Any person who stores or leaves on premises under that person's control a loaded firearm, and who knows or reasonably should know that a child (under the age of 16) is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child's parent or guardian, is guilty of a violation if a child gains access to a firearm and the firearm is used in a reckless or threatening manner; the firearm is used during the commission of any misdemeanor or felony; or the firearm is negligently or recklessly discharged."
Selectmen have supported Parsons, and took no action against him. He is an elected chief and remains on the job.

text: There's been some buzz going around about DKs taking Greater Inscription of the Gladiator over the Hodir one for tanking. However, while the 30 stam is nice, I know that I would rather not lose what I have for dodge. Question is, which is more valuable to me at the moment? I'm supposing some tanks might like the PvP inscription after getting more avoidance in Ulduar. Without any buffs (including Horn of Winter) I have 23.77% dodge and 16.8% parry. I have 31.3k health. Which do you think would be more beneficial to me?

Getting a Grip on 1864′s Virginia Campaign
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
There's still a month to go before the calendar marks the sesquicentennial of the battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House, but signs of the big anniversary are already popping up everywhere–rather like the pear trees now in bud on the streets of Fredericksburg.
Word about special walking and bus tours, living history programs planned here in April and May and June is already on the street and on the World Wide Web. Perennial volunteers and new recruits plan to get out this Saturday–Park Day 2014–and spruce up the battlefields of Spotsylvania Court House, the Wilderness and Cedar Mountain, as scores of people will at other Civil War sites across the country. Spotsylvania County, which is preparing a giant re-enactment on May 1-4, has just installed a special exhibit about the Civil War's Overland Campaign–complete with an 1863 cannon used by Phil Sheridan's cavalry–inside the region's mall, Spotsylvania Towne Centre.
And this Saturday afternoon, Salem Baptist Church in Spotsylvania will host the official kickoff for the campaign's the 150 anniversary, which you can follow on Twitter via the hashtag #overland150. That launch, the Fredericksburg area's fifth "Years of Anguish" speakers forum, will leave no doubt that a big deal is brewing.
Two of Civil War history's most highly regarded biographers, William J. Cooper of Louisiana State University and Brooks D. Simpson of Arizona State University, will share insights about two presidents and their top military leaders: Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, in Cooper's case, and U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, in Simpson's case.
Cooper, author of a definitive Davis biography that won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, said he will emphasize how "Davis and Lee agreed on how the Confederacy should fight," he said Wednesday. "It shouldn't sit on its haunches; it must strike. They were very clear in what they said to each other, starting in early 1862 and lasting right down to Petersburg."
Simpson, author of acclaimed "Ulysses S. Grant: Triumph over Adversity, 1822-1865," will likely touch on how the Overland Campaign was markedly different than what had come before it in the East.
"These armies were fighting one major battle on the heels of another major battle," he said in an interview this week. "It's as if Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg had been fought in the space of three or four weeks, with that cumulative impact."
But it's possible the best may come last, when the forum's final session brings together some remarkable DNA.
Three disparate individuals will explore the trials and joys of being descended from Civil War-era figures. Bertram Hayes–Davis, the gracious and eloquent great-great-grandson of Jefferson Davis, will get top billing, for good reason. But historian Clark B. "Bud" Hall and Avery Lentz, a Gettysburg College student with Union and Confederate soldiers for ancestors, will add their own spice. Together, they will examine "how America's close personal connection with the Civil War affects our perception of the war, and how the legacy of the war affects descendants," according to John Hennessy, chief historian at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Hennessy and Dr. Jeffrey McClurken, a history professor at the University of Mary Washington–author of "Take Care of the Living: Reconstructing the Confederate Veteran Family in Virginia"–will moderate the discussion, which will be broken into three sessions.
The free event–titled "Presidents and Generals and Descendants, Too"–takes place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. April 5 at Salem Baptist Church, next to historic Old Salem Church on State Route 3, a mile west of Interstate 95.
The forum is being sponsored by the National Park Service, the Fredericksburg Area Museum & Cultural Center and the University of Mary Washington.
Lastly, here's helpful advice from the national park's "Mysteries and Conundrums" blog on parking: A note on getting to new Salem Church: there is no left turn from westbound Route 3 directly into new Salem Church. Though the modern church stands next to Old Salem Church, do NOT follow the signs to Old Salem Church. Instead, traveling west on Route 3, you will need to pass the church on your left and go through the light at Salem Church Road. Then do a U-turn at the next crossover and return back through the light on eastbound Route 3. The parking area for new Salem Church will be highly visible to your right.

The Way We Were
And while we're doggedly running round and round it, we can talk about all the things we miss from our old lives. Like going to movies or the theater or the ballet. Like enjoying a leisurely meal at a restaurant. Like getting up in the morning and going to the gym without first negotiating with your spouse for your 40-minute parental leave.
I'm not complaining. I wanted to be here, gazing into my newborn's eyes instead of, say, getting all dressed up and going to the spate of black-tie shindigs I get invited to each spring. The little fella may not say much yet, but he's already a better conversationalist than most of the tablemates I've been compelled to chat with at such events over the years.
Taking a Stand
But parenthood as panacea? I'm not buying it, and neither should anyone who's not really into the idea of being a mom or pop.
I'm here as a new parent to stand up for all those nonparents out there -- the ones who haven't yet made up their minds about kids and the ones who definitely have -- and proclaim that there is nothing wrong with not having children. I did it for more than three decades and led what I'd consider a pretty rich life, filled with learning, love, travel, adventure, laughter...and other people's children.
You're not being selfish. Your life won't be empty. And you're certainly not destined for a sad, lonely end. People can find meaning in their lives in ways that don't include progeny.
So the next time some well-intentioned parent harasses you about your decision not to have kids -- or at least not to have them yet -- just let yourself off society's hook, go out and live the life you've chosen with no regrets. Find fulfillment by climbing a mountain, jumping out of an airplane, taking a job in Asia or, hell, reading the Sunday paper without interruption. Then tell us breeders about it. And feel free to gloat.

This is one huge-arsed keg of epic fail.
SOE should have offered some advance notice and build up to this release. As the saying goes, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Let people vent in advance, and hey, perhaps they'd offer some useful suggestions on what they might WANT to buy. Not random crap.
