Urethral Cancer Treatment
Purpose of This PDQ Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary for health professionals provides comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information about the treatment of urethral cancer. This summary is reviewed regularly and updated as necessary by the PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board.
Information about the following is included in this summary:
- Prognosis.
- Cellular classification.
- Staging.
- Treatment options by different types of tumors.
This summary is intended as a resource to inform and assist clinicians who care for cancer patients. It does not provide formal guidelines or recommendations for making health care decisions.
Some of the reference citations in the summary are accompanied by a level-of-evidence designation. These designations are intended to help readers assess the strength of the evidence supporting the use of specific interventions or approaches. The PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board uses a formal evidence ranking system in developing its level-of-evidence designations. Based on the strength of the available evidence, treatment options are described as either "standard" or "under clinical evaluation." These classifications should not be used as a basis for reimbursement determinations.
This summary is available in a patient version, written in less technical language, and in Spanish.
General Information
The prognosis of urethral cancer depends on its anatomical location and the depth of invasion. Superficial tumors located in the anterior urethra of both the female and male are generally curable; deeply invasive lesions or those lesions located in the posterior urethra, because they are almost always deeply invasive, are rarely curable by any combinations of therapy.
Female urethral cancer is more common than male urethral cancer, but both tumors are quite rare. The majority of information comes from cases accumulated over many decades at major cancer centers. Rarely, melanomas or periurethral sarcomas can occur.
Cellular Classification
The female urethra is lined by transitional cell mucosa proximally and stratified squamous cells distally. Therefore, transitional cell carcinoma is most common in the proximal urethra and squamous cell carcinoma predominates in the distal urethra. Adenocarcinoma is found in both locations and arises from metaplasia of the numerous periurethral glands.
The male urethra is lined by transitional cells in its prostatic and membranous portion and stratified columnar epithelium to stratified squamous epithelium in the bulbous and penile portions. The submucosa of the urethra contains numerous glands. Therefore, urethral cancer in the male can manifest the histological characteristics of transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma.
Except for the prostatic urethra, where transitional cell carcinoma is most common, squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant histology of urethral neoplasms. Since transitional cell carcinoma of the prostatic urethra is usually associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and/or transitional cell carcinoma arising in prostatic ducts, it is treated according to the guidelines for treatment of these primaries and should be separated from the more distal carcinomas of the urethra.
Stage Information
Prognosis is determined both by the anatomical location of the neoplasm, the size, and the depth of invasion of the primary tumor. The histology of the primary tumor is of less importance in determining response to therapy and survival.[1]
Anterior Urethral Cancer
These lesions are often superficial.
- Female: Meatal and/or distal urethral cancer (i.e., the lesions of the distal third of the urethra).
- Male: Penile or anterior portion of the urethra, including the meatus and pendulous urethra.
Posterior Urethral Cancer
These lesions are often deeply invasive.
- Female: Entire urethral cancer; lesions not clearly limited to the distal third of the urethra.
- Male: Bulbomembranous and prostatic urethral cancer.
Urethral Cancer Associated with Invasive Bladder Cancer
Approximately 10% of patients with cystectomy for bladder cancer can be expected to have or develop urethral cancer distal to the urogenital diaphragm.
The 5-year survival associated with urethral cancer is most often determined by the stage.
Stage Definitions by Depth of Invasion
- Stage 0 (Tis, Ta): Limited to mucosa.
- Stage A (T1): Submucosal invasion.
- Stage B (T2): Infiltrating periurethral muscle or corpus spongiosum.
- Stage C (T3): Infiltration beyond periurethral tissue.
- Female: Vagina, labia, muscle
- Male: Corpus cavernosum, muscle
- Stage D1 (N+): Regional nodes; pelvic and inguinal.
- Stage D2 (N+, M+): Distant nodes; visceral metastases.

Anterior Urethral Cancer
Female Anterior Urethral Cancer
If the malignancy is at or just within the meatus and superficial parameters (stage 0/Tis, Ta), open excision or electroresection and fulguration is possible. Tumor destruction using Nd:YAG or CO2 laser vaporization-coagulation represents an alternative option. For large lesions and more invasive lesions (stage A and stage B, T1 and T2, respectively), interstitial radiation therapy or a combination of interstitial radiation therapy and external-beam radiation therapy is an alternative to surgical resection of the distal third of the urethra. Patients with T3 anterior urethral lesions or lesions treated by local excision or radiation therapy, which then recur, require anterior exenteration and urinary diversion.
If inguinal nodes are palpable, frozen section confirmation of tumor is obtained. If positive for malignancy, ipsilateral node dissection is indicated, as cure is still achievable with limited regional nodal metastases. If no inguinal adenopathy exists, node dissection is not recommended, but careful inguinal palpation is mandatory at 3- to 4-month intervals.[1,2,3]
|Open excision or electroresection and fulguration, or laser vaporization-coagulation (Tis, Ta, T1 lesions).
|External-beam radiation therapy or interstitial radiation therapy or a combination of both (T1, T2 lesions).
|Anterior exenteration with or without preoperative radiation and diversion (T3 lesions/recurrent lesions).
Male Anterior Urethral Cancer
If the malignancy is in the pendulous urethra and is superficial, the potential for cure is high. In the rare case that involves mucosa only (stage 0/Tis, Ta), resection and fulguration is justified as initial therapy. For infiltrating lesions in the fossa navicularis, amputation of the glans penis may be adequate treatment. For lesions involving more proximal portions of the distal urethra, excision of the involved segment of the urethra, preserving the penile corpora, may be feasible for superficial tumors. Infiltrating lesions require penile amputation 2 cm proximal to tumor. Local recurrences after amputation are rare. The role for radiation therapy in the treatment of anterior urethral carcinoma in the male is not well defined. Some anterior urethral cancers have been cured with radiation alone.[4,5]
If inguinal nodes are palpable, ipsilateral node dissection is indicated after frozen section confirmation of tumor, as cure is still achievable with limited regional nodal metastases. If no inguinal adenopathy exists, node dissection is not recommended, but careful inguinal palpation is mandatory at 3- to 4-month intervals.[6,7,8]
|Open excision or electroresection and fulguration, or laser vaporization-coagulation.
|Amputation of penis (T1, T2, T3 lesions).
|Radiation (T1, T2, T3 lesions, if amputation is refused).
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with anterior urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Posterior Urethral Cancer
Female Posterior Urethral Cancer
Lesions of the posterior or entire urethra are usually associated with invasion and a high incidence of pelvic nodal metastases. The prospects for cure are limited except in the case of small tumors. The best results have been achieved with exenterative surgery and urinary diversion with 5-year survivals ranging from 10% to 20%. It is reasonable to recommend adjunctive radiation therapy, which is administered preoperatively, in an effort to shrink tumor margins. Pelvic lymphadenectomy is performed concomitantly since an occasional patient with nodal metastases will be cured. Ipsilateral inguinal node dissection is indicated only if biopsy of ipsilateral palpable adenopathy is positive on frozen section. For tumors that do not exceed 2 cm in greatest dimension, radiation alone, nonexenterative surgery alone, or the combination may be sufficient to provide an excellent outcome.[1]
As with male urethral carcinoma, it is reasonable to consider removal of part of the pubic symphysis and the inferior pubic rami to maximize the surgical margin and hopefully to reduce local recurrence. The perineal closure and vaginal reconstruction can be accomplished with the use of myocutaneous flaps.
The prognosis of female urethral cancer has been related to the size of the lesion at presentation. For lesions less than 2 cm in diameter, a 60% 5-year survival can be anticipated; for those greater than 4 cm in diameter, the 5-year survival falls to 13%.[2,3,4,5]
|Preoperative radiation followed by anterior exenteration and urinary diversion with bilateral pelvic node dissection with or without inguinal node dissection.
|For tumors that do not exceed 2 cm in greatest dimension, radiation alone, nonexenterative surgery alone, or the combination may be sufficient to provide an excellent outcome.[1]
Male Posterior Urethral Cancer
Lesions of the bulbomembranous urethra require radical cystoprostatectomy and en bloc penectomy to achieve adequate margins of resection, minimize local recurrence, and achieve cure. Pelvic lymphadenectomy is also recommended in view of the significant incidence of positive nodes, the limited added morbidity from such dissection, and the potential, though limited, possibility for cure. Despite extensive surgery, local recurrence does occur frequently and this event is invariably associated with eventual death from disease. Five-year survival can be expected in only 15% to 20% of patients. In an effort to shrink tumor margins, the use of preoperative adjunctive radiation therapy must be considered. In an effort to increase the surgical margins of dissection, resection of the inferior pubic rami and the lower portion of the pubic symphysis has been used. Urinary diversion is required.[6,7,8,9,10]
Ipsilateral inguinal node dissection is indicated if palpable ipsilateral inguinal adenopathy is found on physical examination and confirmed to be neoplasm by frozen section.[11]
- Preoperative radiation followed by cystoprostatectomy, urinary diversion, and penectomy with bilateral pelvic node dissection with or without inguinal node dissection.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with posterior urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Urethral Cancer Associated With Invasive Bladder Cancer
Approximately 10% of patients having cystectomy for bladder cancer can be expected to have or to later develop clinical neoplasm of the urethra distal to the urogenital diaphragm. An autopsy series of patients having had cystectomy for bladder cancer documented histologic evidence of urethral neoplasm in 20% of the patients. A review from the Royal Marsden Hospital showed that those patients having cystectomy for multiple and superficial bladder lesions have an especially high incidence (34%) of urethral neoplasia.
The benefits of urethrectomy at the time of cystectomy need to be weighed against the morbidity factors, which include added operating time, hemorrhage, and the potential for perineal hernia. However, tumors found incidentally on pathologic examination are much more likely to be superficial or in situ in contrast to those that present with clinical symptoms at a later date when the likelihood of invasion within the corporal bodies is high. The former lesions are often curable, and the latter are only rarely so. Indications for urethrectomy in continuity with cystoprostatectomy are:
- Visible tumor in the urethra.
- Positive swab cytology of the urethra.
- Positive margins of the membranous urethra on frozen section taken at the time of cystoprostatectomy.
- Multiple in situ bladder tumors that extend onto the bladder neck and proximal prostatic urethra.
If the urethra is not removed at the time of cystectomy, optimal follow-up includes periodic cytologic evaluation of saline urethral washings.[1,2,3,4]
|In continuity cystourethrectomy.
|Monitor urethral cytology and delayed urethrectomy.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with urethral cancer associated with invasive bladder cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Recurrent Urethral Cancer
|Locally recurrent urethral cancer after radiation therapy should be treated by surgical excision.
|Locally recurrent urethral cancer after surgery alone should be considered for combination radiation and wider surgical resection.[1]
- Metastatic urethral cancer should be considered for clinical trials using chemotherapy. Early evidence suggests that transitional cell cancer of the urethra may respond favorably to the same chemotherapy regimens employed for advanced transitional cell cancer of the bladder.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

/etc/network/interfaces: transition from jaunty to karmic
I installed ubuntu jaunty on an external USB drive (since I know more or less how to configure jaunty). I also installed karmic (kernel linux 2.6.31-17-generic) to test this karmic distribution. I have the following problem for configuring the network.
On jaunty, my /etc/network/interfaces file was:
auto lo wlan0
Keeping the same file does not work with karmic. At startup, I don't have wireless network. I can connect using the wireless tools in KDE and gnome, but I am not fully satisfied with this, because when I am connecting remotely, if the computer reboots I will not be able to be connected again. So I am trying to understand the new syntax in /etc/network/interfaces.
My interface is still wlan0, since
sudo iwlist scan
I tried some variants below in /etc/network/interfaces, inspired by posts on http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/ concerning karmic and networking, and in particular I tried to use the keywords wireless-keymode, wireless-channel, etc. instead of keymode, channel... but nothing works, so I am stuck.
auto lo wlan0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:76:f1:f2:44
Any idea please ? Thank you !
I think you forgot some whitespace in /etc/network/interfaces.
auto lo wlan0
auto lo wlan0
Thanks for the tip, Falko. I tried to insert whitespaces as you suggested. Unfortunately, the network does not work better (I restarted it using service networking --full-restart and also using ifdown -a ; ifup wlan0 to be sure). Now
ifdown -a
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz
Same here
I am having exactly the same problem. These used to work before I upgraded to 9.10. Now, the only way I can get wifi to work is if I click on the network manager applet in gnome and like you i wont be able to connect remotely to my office if my PC is somehow rebooted while I am away.
In my case, I have already tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces, so I thought I must have done something wrong. So I install network-admin and configured wireless via that. The configuration that was added via the gui tool was:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-key **********
wireless-essid ********
auto wlan0
When I tried rebooting and logging in via a text console, the interface did not come back up. dmesg showed me this:
[ 24.863155] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
I am pretty convinced there is some script that is failing to configure the interface properly before dhclient runs.
Please let me know if you found the solution to this problem. I have been searching the internet for some information for quite some time now and it has been frustrating.
Problem SOLVED!
Please ignore my previous post.
I have managed to solve my problem. Apparently Network Manager in karmic only allows your wifi to activate upon logging in to Gnome or KDE (not sure if this is a bug or what).
I solved the problem by installing wicd (which replaces network manager) and configuring the wifi to automatically start. When the machine rebooted, the wifi was up even before I logged into Gnome.
Hope this helps you as well.
Another solution: Use wpa_supplicant for your WEP connection.
If you use WEP like me, here is how to solve the problem without using or installing wicd.
Firstly, test that it will work by first stopping the network manager service:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
Then edit /etc/network/interfaces like this:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Then, edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (this will probably be created as a new file) and make it look like this:
# Static WEP keys
Then restart networking:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
Dear alidrus,
thank you for your suggestion. I did not try it for the moment, but I used the following syntax for /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo wlan0
Then I changed my wireless device to an ANATEL - LITEON WN7600R with RaLink RT2860 chipset (if I understand correctly), and I also switched to jaunty 64bits. Since then, neither version of /etc/network/interfaces works - I have to use the NetworkManager on kde or gnome. Besides, I am not connected to the network automatically on kde, but only on gnome. On kde I have to click on the ESSID in the list of the wireless networks.
This suggests that the syntax in /etc/network/interfaces may depend on which particular wireless card is used.
If I have the patience to try other solutions, including that of alidrus, I will let you know about the results...
PS. How do I mark this issues as "solved" in the forum please ?

A healthy diet is a great way to ensure you receive a good balance of the nutrients your body requires, including iodine — and you need to make sure you always have enough iodine. Yourthyroid depends on it to function and it is the primary element of two essential hormones that regulate metabolic function. Without it, a myriad of problems can occur, includinghypothyroidism and reductions in energy.
So what are some of the best sources of iodine? In this case, the best place to start is the sea…
1. Sea Vegetables
Oceans contain most of the world's naturally occurring iodine. As a result, many of the edible plants we harvest from our saltwater seas also contain healthy values of iodine. Dulse Seaweed, Kelp, Kombu, Nori, Sea Palm and Wakame contain iodine. [1] [2] Although these sea veggies offer varying amounts of iodine, they still top the list as one of the best sources for naturally occurring iodine.
2. Seafood
It's important to be aware of the presence of toxic metals in some fish… unfortunate but true. And, depending on your diet, you may not even eat fish. But, if you do, wild caught, deep water fish like Cod, as well as shellfish and shrimp also offer healthy values of iodine.
3. Eggs
Same goes for eggs, not on everyone's plate but it is worth mentioning that this nutrient powerhouse has been recommended for pregnant women and young children specifically for its iodine content. [3] One egg contains nearly 16% of the recommended daily value of iodine. Cage-free, organic, and vegetarian fed are a must. If you've got a yard, give a thought to even getting your own chickens.
4. Organic Dairy
Not everyone consumes dairy but some people do, for those folks, do know that one cup of milk contains more than one-third of the recommended daily value of iodine. Yogurt and cheese also contain iodine. Cheese contains a lower value of iodine per serving; however, one cup of yogurt contains more iodine than a cup of milk – 50% of the recommended daily value! [1] Recent studies have found that individuals who regularly consume dairy receive good iodine supplementation. [4] This is one choice especially where organic is a must, and preferably raw.

We're more than halfway to our goal over at Save ConnectiCon, and we're still going strong. Dozens upon dozens of websites all over the place have rallied behind the cause.
You are all doing such a wonderful thing, both for the webcomic community by saving a convention we love, and more specifically for Matt and Briana who would be in serious financial and legal danger if it weren't for the generosity of all of you.
I know it's easy to look at a bill of $35,000 and say "Geez, my $5 won't even dent that". But it does. Nobody is responsible for donating thousands of dollars. But if everyone just donates a few spare bucks, we'll be there in no time.
To sweeten the deal, myself and a bunch of other webcomics have put up exclusive content in the donator's section of Save ConnectiCon. If you have/do donate $5 or more, you can use your paypal email address to access a huge store of exclusive wallpapers, comics, and never before seen stuff by Ctrl+Alt+Del, 8-Bit Theater, VG Cats, Mac Hall, Konsekai Swordwaltzer, Chugworth, GU Comics and more. I've seen this stuff, and trust me, it makes me excited.
If that's still not your deal, we're auctioning off some artwork with all proceeds going to benefit Save ConnectiCon. You can find the first piece of CAD artwork up for auction here.
I am so proud to be a part of this webcomic community, to be friends with these people, and I am so proud to have fans like you. You guys rock hard.
Let's switch gears and talk about Ctrl+Alt+Del for a minute. A few of you have written me to mention that this latest storyline seems to be taking a while. Allow me to try and explain something.
When a comic is updated on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, it is brand new for that one single day. After that, the comic is put into the archives for the rest of eternity.
This means that when I'm writing a storyline, I have to be mindful of how it reads day-to-day while it's updating, and ALSO how it will read all at once.
Right now this storyline has been going on for over a month, and you have to wait a day inbetween each new installment. It can make it seem like it's dragging out. However, once this storyline is finished, what took over a month to get through is going to be read in ten minutes by people going through the archives.
There is a lot of detail and emotion involved with this current storyline, and once its over, CAD will be changed forever. Since right now I'm the only one who knows how the story goes from start to finish, just relax and try to understand that I know what I'm doing.
On stories, auctions, and your awesomenessFriday, July 22, 2005 | 03:01 PM | by
Exclusive Content for Save ConnectiCon!Friday, July 22, 2005 | 03:02 PM | by
There is now a section on the Save ConnectiCon website only for people who donate $5 or more. It's accumulative too, so if you donated $1, and then donate $4 later, you gain access.
I've put up these wallpapers, which haven't been available for more than a year, to get the Ctrl+Alt+Del section started. I will also be adding exclusive sketches and more on a regular basis until we reach our goal!
On top of these wallpapers, you can also access exclusive stuff from 8-Bit Theater, Mac Hall, VGCats, Chugworth and more!
Be back soonTuesday, July 26, 2005 | 11:09 AM | by
I'm out of town for a few days. I'll be back around on Friday.
In the meantime, go play this.

VITA receives grant to fund computers, student stipends
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) received $7,500 from the Provost's Office in August 2011 to fund a campus VITA kiosk site. Money from the grant will fund the purchase of three laptop computers, paper and other supplies, as well as provide stipends for experienced VITA students to staff the kiosk, according to Dr. D'Arcy Becker, chair of the Department of Accounting and Finance.
The location for the VITA kiosk still needs to be determined, said Becker.
Kiosk site customers will prepare their own returns. VITA students will be available to help taxpayers log in, answer questions and ensure that the experience goes smoothly for them. Initially, target customers for the VITA kiosk will be UW-Eau Claire students, and faculty and staff with 2011 annual income of $57,000 or less. All kiosk customers will be required to show a UW-Eau Claire ID.
VITA will continue to provide income tax assistance to community members who have traditionally accessed these services at RCU Shopko South Office and Western Dairyland. However, the option of using the VITA kiosk soon may be available to them. "Once we have information about demand, we can make an informed decision about whether to open the site to community members," Becker said.

The Big Easy is a delectable gumbo of red-hot jazz, historic streetcars, lacy French-colonial balconies, powdery beignets, and zesty Cajun cuisine. Its unique blend of Southern hospitality, eccentric tradition, and unabashed debauchery give it a distinct character unlike anywhere else in the United States. The city's tourism sector has recovered steadily since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In fact, the city had more visitors in 2010 than in any other year since the hurricane.
Why GoFor Creole cooking, jazz in the French Quarter, and a laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll) spirit.

"Huge hit with a large group. I tenderized the top of the meat just before placing the bacon on it. I had to cook it fast and thought it would be tough, but it was very tender, delicious and moist. Next time I cook it like the previous post outlined. Thanks for posting this excellent recipe."
"This was a huge hit at my family party. I didn't add the water to make sure it was good and thick, more like a soup. Quick and easy to make, and filling.

"We could not stop eating these. Easily beats the restaurant. Keep the egg whites good and foamy (you may have to beat them again if they settle) and you'll be amazed how much coconut you can press on. Next time I'll use a little more ginger only because we love ginger. We used an apricot jam for dipping, but I enjoyed them with no dip at all."
"Best lamp chops we've ever had. I sprinkled a seasoning salt over chops, and marinated in your sauce for 2 hours in a plastic bag. We cooked them rare, medium and well. It was amazing. Rave reviews at a family party."
"Amazing soup. Careful not to put too much hot in, otherwise you will probably want to stick to the recipe as outlined. Served this at a party and it was the only soup that disappeared. The great flavor keeps coming at you even to last spoonful. Thanks for posting this great soup recipe."

Hat trick for Jackson in loss
April 23, 2013
Kirby Dearth scored a first quarter goal for the Quakers. (Wilmington file photo)
WESTERVILLE – Jalen Jackson recorded a hat trick for the Wilmington College men's lacrosse team as they fell to Otterbein Tuesday, 25-5, at Memorial Stadium.
It didn't take long for the Cardinals to find the back of the net, scoring the game's opening goal 59 seconds into the match. However, Garyck Todd (Pickerington, OH/Central) and Kirby Dearth (Hilliard, OH/Darby) combined on an equalizing goal.
Following a successful clear, Todd found Dearth – who tied the match at one. Unfortunately, Otterbein scored the final eight goals of the quarter. It kicked off a stretch in which the Cardinals scored 17 unanswered goals, spanning the first and third quarters.
Dearth added a second half assist and Jackson (Hilliard, OH/Bradley) scored three times in the second half. Alex Gossard (Galloway, OH/Hilliard Bradley) also scored in the second half, while Zach Swenson (Milford, OH/Milford) recorded an assist.
Jackson, Todd, Austin Johnston (Columbus, OH/Hilliard Bradley) and Branden Ballentine (Pickerington, OH/Central) all had three groundball pickups for the Quakers.
Otterbein dominated the face-offs, winning 81 percent (26-of-32) of the head-to-head matchups. The ability to continually own possessions enabled OC to outshoot Wilmington, 60-13. Additionally, the Cardinals were very efficient, clearing the zone 69 percent (9-of-13) of the time. Meanwhile, Wilmington was just 9-of-22 (41 percent) in its clearing attempts.
Wilmington (4-10) wraps up the season 2 p.m. Saturday as the Quakers host Mount Union at Williams Stadium.

City Councilor Nadeem Mazen strives to bring more awesome
Photos courtesy danger!awesome
Even in Cambridge, home of MIT and innumerable adventurous start-ups, the politicians aren't generally known for their forward-thinking. Depending on who you ask, that deficit in relevant experience has held government back as its private sector neighbors speed ahead.
Nadeem Mazen, a local tech entrepreneur and one of four new members of the Cambridge City Council, is poised to fix this glitch in the municipal matrix. To that goal, he's brought forth a vision for creatives and hackers alike that includes further introducing 3-D printers to consumers and expanding public school programs like STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Through those and other measures, Mazen says this is the right time to boost makers of culture in Cambridge. For starters, he tapped someone to help review the city resources already available, such as after school programs and arts grants.
"You should expect your city councilor to limit their term because that will bring in new types of leadership," Mazen says, explaining why new blood is important. "If we're leaving more often, we're going to see new types of people come in. That's going to be artists, that's going to be engineers, that's going to be more minority groups that aren't represented."
An activist who was an integral member of the media team at Occupy Boston in 2011, Mazen has already taken to advocating for bridges between the area's vast resources and those who need them most. He's currently pairing up with the Possible Project–an entrepreneur program for Cambridge high school students–and planning for an arts space within a building in Kendall that belongs to the city. It won't be an easy battle, as private companies are rumored to also be eying the property.
Furthering his community focus, Mazen is planning the expansion of his company, danger!awesome, which he founded with fellow MIT grad Ali Mohammad three years ago. The pair was gifted a laser cutter from the indie pop band OK Go for their quirky animation work on the viral video for the song "Last Leaf," and have since paid the favor forward. Located in a Central Square storefront, danger!awesome offers outlets for anyone who has enough compulsion to create anything, from detailed and engraved phone cases to something simpler like laser-cut stationery. Over the past three years, they've taught in excess of 2,000 kids and adults to design, customize, and invent on their 3-D printer and multiple laser-cutters.
"When you get your claws on tools like this," says Mazen, "when you're lucky enough, as we were, you've got to bring it to the public."
While Councilor Mazen seeks resources for Cambridge residents, his private side is searching for solutions the new fashion way–on Kickstarter. In order to grow danger!awesome to include a classroom for art and engineering classes, they've set out to raise at least $35,000 by February 15 (as of this writing, they're incredibly close). If their target is met, the expansion will provide a new after-school program geared to inspire under-served students. Once that infrastructure is in place, Mazen hopes to help bridge the proverbial learning gap with a mix of fun and education for area teens.
"We're just starting to get to the point where we're seeing that our tiny, tiny existence is beginning to inform projects all over the world," says Mazen of his increasingly hack-happy crew in an increasingly hack-happy city. "Why would you not expand that? The more you expand that, the more it comes back to the community."

Serving Teachers Everywhere
WELS teachers today have opportunities for professional growth that previous WELS teachers did not. At one time, many WELS teachers longed for a degree program where everything they learned applied directly to what they did. They wanted to learn from and with other WELS teachers who understood their ministry. But until recently, the thought of such a learning community of WELS teachers seemed unattainable.
MLC is dedicated to developing affordable ways teachers can grow professionally no matter where God places them. Our master's students can continue their program even if they accept God's call to another ministry setting. Thanks to God's gift of technology, MLC instructors and WELS teachers in MLC's master's degree program form a learning community that supports, encourages, and builds each other up.

Southeastern falls to Romulus, 61-49
Class A State Final at MSU
By Harry M. Anderson, Jr.
Special to the Michigan Citizen
DETROIT — Southeastern put up a good fight but came up short at the MHSAA Class A Boys State Final March 23 at the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University. The Jungaleers (21-6) lost to Romulus, 61-49.
"It's not a bad consolation at the end of the season," said Southeastern head coach George Ward, Jr. "Romulus did a very good job because they were more aggressive and experienced. You can't make up for that.
"We did a decent job defensively, but we didn't hit our shots. Our kids are very good because we're mentally tough. I take my hat off to them because they kept playing hard and never quit."
Southeastern was led by seniors Jovone Haynes and Kwesi Williams and juniors Daryl Bingham and Leonard Harper-Baker. Haynes scored 16 points and made six steals. Williams scored 10 points made six rebounds and had three steals. Bingham had 10 points and five rebounds, while Harper-Baker had five points, five rebounds, two blocked shots and one steal.
The Jungaleers trailed 19-10 after the first quarter and 28-20 at the half. The third quarter did them in when they were outscored 23-12 by the Eagles (27-1) and trailed 51-32 going into the final period. Southeastern outscored Romulus 17-10 in the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late.
In the March 22 semi-finals, Southeastern defeated the defending state champions from Saginaw 51-45 to earn the right to play in the championship game. The Jungaleers hit 17 of 25 free throws as Bingham scored 14, Haynes 13 and Williams eight. In the March 19 quarter-finals at the University of Detroit Mercy's Calihan Hall, Southeastern defeated Rochester in a low-scoring contest, 54-49. The Jungaleers got 18 points from senior guard Jovone Hayes. Senior Kwesi Williams scored 13 while senior guard Nathan Taylor and junior forward Daryl Bingham added eight points each.
"It feels good to represent the city," Ward said. "It would've been great to meet up with Pershing in the finals. We hope we represent the city with pride and dignity."
Although Southeastern is graduating 11 seniors, Ward said he has five juniors returning and moving seven players up from the junior varsity.
"We feel that the new talent from the junior varsity will fill some important shoes," he said. "We feel very confident about next year."
Ward says Southeastern's program is headed in the right direction and the team will keep working toward the next season.

The Telegraph
Long-term use of mobile phones Ĺmay be linked to cancerĺ
Martin Beckford and Robert Winnett
Long-term use of mobile phones may be linked to some cancers, a landmark international study will conclude later this year.
A ú20million, decade-long investigation overseen by the World Health Organisation (WHO) will publish evidence that heavy users face a higher risk of developing brain tumours later in life, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
The conclusion, while not definitive, will undermine assurances from the government that the devices are safe and is expected to put ministers under pressure to issue stronger guidance.
A preliminary breakdown of the results found a ôsignificantly increased riskö of some brain tumours ôrelated to use of mobile phones for a period of 10 years or moreö in some studies.
Britainĺs Department of Health has not updated its guidance for more than four years. It says that ôthe current balance of evidence does not show health problems caused by using mobile phonesö, and suggests only that children be ôdiscouragedö from making ônon-essentialö calls while adults should ôkeep calls shortö.
In contrast, several other countries, notably France, have begun strengthening warnings and American politicians are urgently investigating the risks.
The Interphone inquiry has been investigating whether exposure to mobile phones is linked to three types of brain tumour and a tumour of the salivary gland.
Its head, Dr Elisabeth Cardis, backed new warnings.
ôIn the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radiofrequency radiation, precautions are important,ö she said.
ôI am therefore globally in agreement with the idea of restricting the use by children, though I would not go as far as banning mobile phones as they can be a very important tool, not only in emergencies, but also maintaining contact between children and their parents and thus playing a reassurance role.
ôMeans to reduce our exposure (use of hands-free kits and moderating our use of phones) are also interesting.ö
The project conducted studies in 13 countries, interviewing tumour sufferers and people in good health to see whether their mobile phone use differed. It questioned about 12,800 people between 2000 and 2004.
Previous research into the health effects of mobile phones, in the short time they have been in use, has proved inconclusive. However, a breakdown of the latest findings, seen by The Daily Telegraph, shows that six of eight Interphone studies found some rise in the risk of glioma (the most common brain tumour), with one finding a 39 per cent increase.
Two of seven studies into acoustic neurinoma (a benign tumour of a nerve between the ear and brain) reported a higher risk after using mobiles for 10 years. A Swedish report said it was 3.9 times higher.
A summary said a definitive link could not be proved because of difficulties with subjectsĺ memories.
An Israeli study found heavy users were about 50 per cent more likely to suffer tumours of the parotid salivary gland.
The Interphone inquiry has faced criticism for including people who made just one call a week, and leaving out children, which some experts said could underplay the risks. Some results for short-term use appeared to show protection against cancer, suggesting flaws in the study.
The final paper, funded partly by the industry, has been delayed as its authors argued over how to present the conclusions. But it has been sent to a scientific journal and will be published before the end of the year.
A spokesman for the Health Protection Agency said there was ôno hard evidence at presentö of harm to health. Use by children for non-essential calls should be discouraged, he added.
A spokesman for the Mobile Operators Association said more than 30 scientific reviews had found no adverse health effects.

Measure Twice, Cut Once
The commitment to circumcise baby boys isn't an easy one, even for couples where both parents are Jewish. I was three-and-a-half when my brother was born, and I distinctly remember my mother crying at his brit milah (ritual ceremony of circumcision). This is what I recall my mother saying, "You spend nine months letting something perfect grow inside you, and then you have to let some random old man operate on him unnecessarily on him while your friends stand around eating bagels and acting like it's a party. Why are they having fun when my son is in pain?"
The circumcision dilemma can be a particularly big issue for intermarried families. One spouse may feel like the need for circumcision as a way of connecting the baby with a chain of his ancestors. The other might find the ritual barbaric and therefore unnecessary. In The Unkindest Cut, published in Salon.com, Neal Pollack discusses his family's hysterical reaction when his Protestant wife decided she did not want their son to be circumcised. [Please note: this article contains some unrestricted slang.] His parents had many members of their extended family call the couple to forcefully state their point-of-view. They went as far as threatening to disown their grandson. Eventually the couple decided to have a circumcision performed by an urologist in order restore peace in their family. The Pollacks discussed their situation during their pregnancy, so they had time to make a well thought out decision, even if it was a difficult process. For many couples, the issue may not come up until the baby is already born, in which case even more stress is heaped on the already exhausted new parents.
Although it can seem jarring to have to perform surgery on a newborn, it is much easier to perform a circumcision on an eight-day-old than on an older child! To be clear, we are JOI believe that Jewish boys should be circumcised. But we also recognize that the issue is one of many that emerges, especially in the context of an interfaith relationship. It is also much easier to discuss circumcision during the pregnancy or before rather than after the baby is born. Several months ago I was arguing about circumcision on a first date with someone. Perhaps the conversation was a bit premature. However, I wanted to practice the advice that we offer: the earlier you begin discussing important issues, the more time you will have to come to develop a mutually agreed-upon reasoned position.

I'm not Jewish, nor was I lucky enough to have been circumcised at birth (as a Jewish tradition, it has also become an American, Canadian and Australian tradition). My first 22 years were spent with a foreskin.
When I was finally able to get that little problem corrected, it was a great relief. A couple of days of moderate pain (nothing compared to having a wisdom tooth out), a couple of weeks of abstinence, and all was well with the world. In fact, suddenly I understood why there's a market for silk boxer shorts.
Should a new Jewish mother feel sad about her son's bris, take heart from one who has been there: I remember being five or six years of age, with my foreskin re-adhering to my glans, and the pain of having the pediatrician separate it.
Judaism's laws have always appealed to me, since it seems they're founded in common sense. Avoid pork; science later demonstrated that pork tends to spoil faster than other foods. Don't mix meat and dairy; later we discover that lactose provides a great growth medium for some food poisoning vectors. Get circumcised; most men circumcised as adults will readily agree that clothing reduces the foreskin to a liability-inducing redundancy.
I wish I'd been circumcised at birth. And given the choice of a hospital circumcision or the joyous and welcoming party of a bris, I suspect the latter would be substantially less traumatic. Not that I'd have remembered either anyway.

A thief was arrested after he returned to the shop he stole from to ask for his wallet back.
Police said the 27-year-old made off with meat worth £26 from a Lidl in King's Lynn.
Shortly afterwards, store staff found a wallet in the car park of the Austin Street branch.
Then a man offered to return the stolen meat if he could have it back. Staff put two and two together and detained the man, until police arrived.
In an e-mail to town centre businesses Supt Carl Edwards, the area's policing commander, said the man qualified for his "most short-sighted criminal of the week award".
He added: "You'll be pleased to know he got his wallet back, and was issued with a caution but only after a stay in our cells."

Dozens of British subcultures have worn the Harrington over our shirts since the 1960s. We've made this Harrington like we always do; in a tough cotton twill with a two-button funnel-neck collar and ribbed hem and cuffs. We've given it buttons in colour-contrasted corozo palm ivory for a sleek finish, matched with our Laurel Wreath embroidered on the chest. Inside, we've added cotton poplin lining with a classic paisley print from the Drake's archive, to bring a sartorial touch to our most enduring jacket.

The Lennon Sisters

The Lennon Sisters have never stopped singing. From their television debut on "The Lawrence Welk Show" in 1955, through the 1960s and beyond when they made personal appearances in every state but Alaska, they so enchanted the public that they were christened "America's Sweethearts of Song."
Originally they were a quartet, but there are three of them singing now — all sisters. "This is our 67th year performing," said Kathy Lennon, the third of the original four and spokesman for the group. "At first it was Dianne, Peggy, myself and Janet, and now its me, Janet and one of our younger sisters Mimi."
Their repertoire will be broad, with Broadway show tunes, including "Somewhere" from "West Side Story," vintage 1940s music, Big Band numbers and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" made famous by the Andrew Sisters, as well as some of Rosemary Clooney's biggest hits.
"We do songs made popular by the girl groups in the 1960s," Lennon continued, "plus songs that Andy Williams sang." They are also known for their spiritual and inspirational songs.
At the conclusion of the show they come to the lobby and talk to fans. "We sign autographs and have the best time meeting people," Lennon added. "So many people have said they grew up with us and have so many happy memories of our appearances on 'Lawrence Welk.' It's very gratifying."
The Lennon sisters grew up in a two-bedroom house in Venice, Calif. "My Dad was a milkman," Kathy said, "which was a good thing because there were eleven of us, six of us girls. We sang together as we were doing the dishes."
Their father William also had a lovely voice. "An Irish tenor who sang with his brothers at the Hollywood Bowl," she said. He encouraged his four older daughters as they harmonized the popular songs of the day. "We sang at our church, St. Mark's in Venice," she continued, "and for the Rotary Club, the Lions. We were just the Lennon girls who happened to sing."
That all changed when Larry Welk, son of popular television entertainer Lawrence Welk, heard his classmate Dianne Lennon sing with her sisters. "I'm going to tell my Dad about you," he famously said. "So Larry collected us and took us to their home in Brentwood," Kathy said. "I remember it was Spanish style with iron gates."
Welk was not feeling well that day, so he was home resting. "Larry took us into his Dad's bedroom and we sang for him," she explained. "He engaged us right then and there for his 1955 Christmas Eve special. It was our only audition."
Millions of Americans were watching Welk's live musical variety show on Saturday nights, and they fell in love with smiling, unassuming girls, at that time aged 9 to 16. They appeared on the Welk show for 13 years and sang for all seven United States presidents from Eisenhower to Reagan. They appeared with crooner Perry Como, comedians Bob Hope and Jack Benny, and Gene Kelly to mention a few.
"But our parents never sent us to the Hollywood school," Kathy said. "We were not part of the show business crowd. We went to the Catholic school in Venice."
In their early years, there were Lennon Sisters paper dolls. They landed commercial endorsements and were on the cover of every movie or television magazine in the country. They also became tabloid fodder, but their fame came with a terrible price. In 1969 their beloved father William was shot and killed by a mentally deranged young man who had been stalking Peggy.
The girls, their mother and siblings endured. "We were a family first and singing was only a part of our lives," Kathy said. "We all kept on going."
As they grew up their harmonies became more sophisticated and so did their costumes. "We've had so much fun with beads and fringe," she confided, adding that their gowns have been designed by Ret Taylor, who worked closely with Bob Mackie, the creator of glamorous evening clothes worn for years by Hollywood celebrities.
But the young women were also adventurous. At one point, they shed their beautiful evening dresses on stage and danced around in corsets. Their producer told them it would show off their beautiful legs and — just for fun — they concurred.
One by one they married and had children. Younger sister Mimi became the stand-in singer whenever her older sisters were on maternity leave. For 10 years they toured with Andy Williams, appearing in Las Vegas and singing at his Moon River Theatre in Branson, Mo. Eventually several of them made their home base in that Midwestern entertainment mecca and they are now regulars at the Welk Theatre in Branson, coming full circle from their first engagements.
The location has proved to be a good fit. "Branson is a family place," Kathy declared, "There is nothing in the shows to offend anyone. These are good, old fashioned variety shows."
The Lennon Sisters can also be seen on You Tube, from a black and white tape of their hit "Tonight You Belong to Me" in the 1950s to their appearances well into the 21st century.
They hit the road again in 2011 as a trio with Mimi as a permanent member. "We have been enjoying it so much," Kathy confirmed. "It is such a treat to meet people who have been our fans for so many years. Signing autographs and talking to them is almost as much fun as singing."

What temperature and humidity is best to store film
You must store the film properly to ensure long shelf life and proper decorating. The film must be stored in a
humidity and temperature controlled environment.
Water transfer printing process
Water transfer printing (hydrographics, aqua printing, cubic printing, hydro imaging...) process can be applied to the surface of the materials such as hardware, wood, plastic, stone, bakelite, ceramic, etc. The cost of products that have been applied with water transfer imaging is relatively low, while their added value multiplies.
Water transfer printing process consists of these steps :
1. Film selection - Choose an image from our library of more than 1000 standard water transfer printing films, or we can produce an individual printable image made from a sample pattern or photograph.
2. Base painting - If necessary, the objects to be printed will be base painted in an appropriate color (for instance, brown would be used for parts which will be printed in a wood grain image). It should be noted that the same film pattern's end result can be manipulated simply by changing base colors to get the desired effect.
3. Preparing the film - The printing film is laid onto the water surface of the dipping unit. The carrier substance on which the pattern is printed dissolves while the pattern itself remains floating on the water.
4. Film activation - The floating image is treated with a special activating liquid which dissolves the components in the pattern's colors without affecting its structure and appearance.
5. Transfer - The item is immersed in the water through the floating layer of liquefied pattern. The pressure of the water will cause the pattern to smooth itself evenly around the object in all places and adhere to it. The end result is the part completely covered in the pattern of your choice.
6. Washing and drying - The printed parts are washed to remove any residue of the printing film and are allowed to dry.
7. Clear coating - After undergoing an inspection (quality control) the printed objects are clear coated if desired to protect the printed surface. Anything from a completely matte clear coat to full high gloss can be applied.
