Cancer Care (Oncology)
Cancer is a disease where the body's own cells multiply out of control. Although certain types of cells are more likely than others to become cancerous, any type of cell can turn into a cancer.
Animals get cancer, too! And, as with humans, older animals are more at risk of developing the disease. As our animal companions are starting to live longer, veterinarians are starting to deal more with cancer. Veterinarians who specialize in diagnosing and treating cancer are called veterinary oncologists.
Methods for treating cancer may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Sometimes a cancer (tumor) can be completely removed in a surgical procedure. Other times, special radiation machines are used in numerous sessions to try to damage the cancer cells beyond repair. And different drugs may be tried ("chemotherapy") to target the rapidly dividing cancer cells.

Shakira Nude has been below the media spotlight due to the fact he entered the league out of great college. But what he is not talking about, what nobody's conversing about, is carrying out Shakira Nude four.

When F-E-R-T-I-L-I-Z-E-R Is a Four-Letter Word
Jan Chait
June 26, 2012
"You did WHAT?!"
"I fertilized your plants," my ever-so-"helpful" husband answered, "to help them grow."
So much for my nice, organic garden. So much for scouting around for this kind of compost here, that kind of compost there, and the other kind of compost somewhere else and mixing them all together to get a good blend. For the bucket in the kitchen for fruit and vegetable scraps and the composter in the backyard for those and lawn and garden pickings. Compost makes great fertilizer. My plants were growing just fine.
'scuse me while I unclench my teeth. He means well. But sometimes I just want to bang. My. Head. Against. A. Wall. He planted a garden across the backyard from mine. Go play in your own garden and leave mine alone. Unless I want you to water mine or something.
For somebody with two hands full of brown thumbs, it's going well. Except for the Black Krim tomatoes and the onion sets. And the mesclun.
I managed to kill the first Black Krim. Something ate the second one. The last time, I planted three Black Krims. Maybe one will survive.
The onions? Squirrels, I assume, although raccoons could have gotten to them. I planted sets and, the next day, all I saw were holes where the sets had been. Then I noticed signs that one onion had survived. My husband noticed onion number two. Oh, joy! I can make a double batch of vegetable soup this fall!
There is lettuce growing in my mesclun patch, but only one kind. Now, mesclun is a mixture of lettuces, so I don't know that I should continue to refer to my patch as "mesclun," but what the heck. I'm sure that whatever-it-is that's growing will still taste good tossed with a little olive oil, a liberal sprinkling of seasoned rice vinegar, and some toasted walnuts (my favorite salad).
I got into gardening out of nostalgia. I wanted vegetables that taste like they did when I was a little girl: Before scientists got their hands on them and "improved" them to the point where they're tasteless clones of each other and their most important mission is to be transported to market without getting squashed or over ripe. Not to mention in the largest quantity in the most-compact space.
To get that taste, I also chose heirloom plants and seeds as much as possible. So now I'm worrying about the plants growing. Why, for example, are my Kentucky Wonder pole beans not getting tendrils to grab onto the bean tower yet? Why aren't my pickling cucumbers growing tendrils, either? (I will have pickles this year. I WILL have pickles this year!) Maybe they just haven't grown high enough yet. Whatever the reason, they don't answer back when I ask.
My gardening surprise? Whew, boy, is it exercise! Even from a scooter! I knew that gardening in the ground was exercise, what with all of the bending and kneeling and stooping and hoeing and so on, but who knew gardening in a 2-foot-high growing bed while in a seated position would be?
You bend, you stretch, you dig, you tie, you lug a garden hose from here to there and back. Weeding? W-e-l-l…I've found one. I kind of researched different gardening styles and selected Square Foot Gardening, which calls for a growing mixture of equal parts peat moss, vermiculite, and compost. No soil. Plus, it's in a raised bed. So not a lot of weeds, although I did find one trying to hide amongst the beans. I suspect that, as the plants grow, there will be more bending and stretching as I search through the (hopefully) vegetable-laden foliage for any wayward weeds to eliminate.
With the garden comes a composter, which needs to be fed and aerated. And, oddly enough, watered. I chose a rotating composter. I just couldn't see myself reaching way up with a pitchfork or aerator to mix up the contents of a compost pile.
Which reminds me: If you live in an area that's getting rain, please send grass clippings. My composter needs food and it hasn't rained here in forever. I have my kitchen scraps, my one weed, and my two dead tomato plants. Aside from that and from cleaning last year's foliage out of a giant patio planter, I had to buy some coir (coconut fiber) to add in so stuff wouldn't, you know, stink. Maybe my local Starbucks participates in the used coffee grounds for compost program. I'll have to ask.
Anyway, I go out in the morning and the evening to fuss over the garden, give it a drink (only once a day) and rotate my measly pile of compost and I'm huffing and puffing. Maybe today I'll top-dress the slower plants with some dried kelp to give them a little boost.
Yes, I'm still going organic, despite my husband's attempts to nudge the plants along with (shudder) fertilizer. I'll have my organic garden yet.
Maybe next year.
Helen, the tomatoes weren't diseased: I killed one when I failed to water it enough before I transplanted it and the other one was eaten by something. Squirrels? Raccoons? The break wasn't low enough for it to be cutworms. I now have a third one that's been gnawed on. Whatever it is likes Black Krims. As for compost, most of what I have right now are kitchen scraps, so something else is needed. Hence, the coir. Temps here are running over 100 degrees, with no rain in sight. There is a burn ban here but, thankfully, nobody has said anything about not watering. Carol, I'll join you in that rain dance! Jan

Never a dull moment. Hope the garden is still doing good and growing gangbusters. Good luck Jan. Garening is not my thing/speciality being mechanical/electronics.

My organic garden died when my husband sprayed weedkiller on it, then tried to tell me that it would be safe to plant in 2 weeks. That was not too long after he cut down my prized 3-foot high sage plant. That was also the last time I made a garden except for a bay tree which is by my kitchen sink so it can be watered with my sink sprayer. He doesn't touch it. Enjoy your organics; they should taste really good. I don't know whether Black Seeded Simpson lettuce is considered heirloom, but I used to love it. You do have to pinch off the tops to keep it from bolting in the heat, but it tastes great.
Posted by: Deb | Jun 26, 2012 06:13 PM
Hi Jan Love reading your articles. As a keen gardener myself I so understand your desire to grow organically. But when it comes to making compost, you shouldn't put diseased plants in - that simply perpetuates the problem. So unless you know why your tomatoes died, and it wasn't a plant virus of some sort, it would be best to dispose of them in another way. And healthy compost shouldn't stink! Happy gardening and good luck with keeping your husband (helper) out of your garden!
Posted by: Helen | Jun 27, 2012 05:19 PM
I hope you do well with your garden, mine is in danger of getting burned up by the heat and lack of rain. I fear we are going to have a drought. I can't send you grass clippings because we have not cut in over 2 weeks, grass is brown and dry. I did cheat a little on my compost I collected all my families dead houseplants and dumped the pots in my compost pile, so far so good. Good luck with yours. Anyone know a rain dance?
Posted by: Carol | Jun 27, 2012 06:24 PM
Jan; not to be a turkey; but my question is more generic and has some scientific data and comments. I assume the water floating around your plants has no biologics in it - Human coloform bateria from sewage tanks in ground as well as cryptospridium and giarda. If you are on deep well artesian - should not be issue. Om surface wells, one should test. The question is - how much guff does the water absorbption sysem for tomatoes eliminate the crap and not collect it in the fruit. I do not know? Are they filtering sub-micron? I have some property in a rural area where I checked the biologics on that water supply and they lit up like crhristmas tree lights - bright yellow and red. First we were using reverse osmosis on it all along and after testing decided to additionally do the distilling of it. Possibly this is crazy - yet when one is fully healthy; ones body can boot the pests out, when its comprimised by diabetes and other nusisances - that may no longer be true.
Posted by: jim snell | Jul 01, 2012 02:59 PM
Jan: As for science you seem to be doing very well given all the real life riot working the T2 diabetes issues. As for the river ; as long as you are upstream from the fun stuff and the aquifer if deep sounds good. Yes, I do end up in some curious spur lines on chasing down some problems. And I do wish somedays I had not bothered to look into!
Posted by: jim snell | Jul 04, 2012 01:23 AM
Ai-yi-yi Jim! The things you come up with! LOL I live in the city and our water either comes from the river that runs through town or from the aquifer we sit on. I'm not sure which. No wells, at any rate. I'll have to trust that the water company properly treats and filters it. I was a music major. I don't know nothin' 'bout no science! ;-) Jan

An annual seasonal flu vaccination is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and lessen the chance that you will spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.
A flu vaccine is needed every year because flu viruses are constantly changing. It's not unusual for new flu viruses to appear each year. The flu vaccine is formulated each year to keep up with the flu viruses as they change. Also, multiple studies conducted over different seasons and across vaccine types and influenza virus subtypes have shown that the body's immunity to influenza viruses (acquired either through natural infection or vaccination) declines over time (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
- Online: OWL
- Telephone: 609-771-2889
- In-person: 107 Eickhoff Hall
COST: $20.00 (cash only)
NOTE TO STUDENTS UNDER AGE 18 OR THOSE WITH A COURT-APPOINTED LEGAL GUARDIAN: Your parent or legal guardian (if applicable) must sign the "Influenza Vaccination Screening and Consent Form".
READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET A FLU SHOT: VACCINE INFORMATION STATEMENT (VIS). VISs are information sheets produced by the CDC that explain both the benefits and risks of a vaccine to vaccine recipients. Federal law requires that healthcare staff provide a VIS to a patient, parent, or legal representative before each dose of certain vaccinations (click HERE for more information). Non-English translations of the VIS can be found at http://www.immunize.org/vis/vis_flu_inactive.asp (not all languages are available).
About our Flu Vaccine
We are administering the Inactivated Influenza Vaccine, Fluarix® Quadrivalent, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. This vaccine is Thimerosal-Free. The tip caps of the prefilled syringes MAY contain natural rubber latex. The quadrivalent flu vaccine is designed to protect against four different flu viruses; two influenza A viruses: A/Christchurch/16/2010 (H1N1) & A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2), and two influenza B viruses: B/Brisbane/60/2008 & B/Massachusetts/2/2012. This vaccine is given by injection into the muscle in the top portion of your outer arm.
Who Should Get a Flu Shot?
All persons aged 6 months and older should be vaccinated annually, with rare exceptions.
Vaccination to prevent influenza is particularly important for persons who are at increased risk for severe complications from influenza, or who are at high risk for influenza-related outpatient, emergency department, or hospital visits. When vaccine supply is limited, vaccination efforts should focus on delivering vaccination to the following persons (no hierarchy is implied by order of listing):
- are aged 6 months through 4 years;
- are aged 50 years and older;
- have chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal, hepatic, neurologic, hematologic, or metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus);
- are immunosuppressed (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by human immunodeficiency virus);
- are or will be pregnant during the influenza season (see CDC's Seasonal Flu Vaccine Safety & Pregnant Women) ;
- are aged 6 months through 18 years and receiving long-term aspirin therapy and who therefore might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection;
- are residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities;
- are American Indians/Alaska Natives;
- are morbidly obese (body-mass index is 40 or greater);
- are health-care personnel;
- are household contacts and caregivers of children aged younger than 5 years and adults aged 50 years and older, with particular emphasis on vaccinating contacts of children aged younger than 6 months; and
- are household contacts and caregivers of persons with medical conditions that put them at higher risk for severe complications from influenza.
A complete list of health and age factors that are known to increase a person's risk of developing serious complications from flu is available at People Who Are at High Risk of Developing Flu-Related Complications.
Who should NOT get the quadrivalent influenza vaccine?
- Children younger than 6 months of age
- Anyone with a history of severe allergic reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the vaccine, including egg protein, or following a previous influenza (flu) vaccination. For a list of vaccine components, click HERE and scroll to page 10 – Description.
There are some people who should not get a flu vaccine without first consulting a doctor. These include:
- People who have a moderate-to-severe illness with or without a fever (they should wait until they recover to get vaccinated), and
- People with a history of Guillain–Barré Syndrome (a severe paralytic illness, also called GBS) that occurred after receiving influenza vaccine and who are not at risk for severe illness from influenza should generally not receive vaccine. Tell your doctor if you ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Your doctor will help you decide whether the vaccine is recommended for you.

TypeFace, an ambitious public art project by artist Reginald Baylor and Adam Carr, hopes to provide a broader understanding of the diversity in four of Milwaukee's urban neighborhoods through the creation of bold visuals based on community-generated narratives. ART Milwaukee is providing project management support and fundraising savvy to turn foreclosed and abandoned sites into works of art. "It's basically taking a negative icon in a highly-visible part of a distinctive and historic neighborhood and turning it into a positive one," says Angela Damiani of ART Milwaukee.
The project began earlier this year by simply asking residents in each community "Why here?" Carr spent time in each neighborhood this summer focusing on themes of investment, ownership and possibility. "He basically did a lot of standing on the street corner and talking to people. And if you know Adam, that's the perfect job for him," Damiani says.
Roughly 400 conversations later, a narrative emerged, tailored to the unique character of each site and surrounding community and eventually fed Baylor's artistic process. These narratives will unfold on boarded-up architectural icons sites in four neighborhoods spanning the city: Layton Boulevard West, Sherman Park, Lindsey Heights and Harambee. Baylor's pop-art paintings have pervaded the city, but this is the first time he has worked with typeface and 3-D sculpture.
"It's about self-actualization and harnessing the rich imagination of residents engaged and invested in some of Milwaukee's oldest, most distinct and most culturally rich neighborhoods," Carr says.
See the faces of each neighborhood that provided the narratives in the slideshow below:
The four sites and installations are:
1. Burnham Park, the vacant 31st Street Corner Store (3028 W. Burnham St.)
An Arrangement: a bouquet of flowers and answers as colorful as the neighborhood's cast of characters.
2. Lindsay Heights, Franklin Square/Teutonia Gardens (1420 W. Center St.)
Bookshed: a bookshelf fully stocked with real conversations.
3. Harambee, Five Points (3418 N. Martin Luther King Dr.)
Puzzled & Amazed: a platform for history, memory, and questions from and for the community.
4. Sherman/Washington Park, the old Finney Library (4243 W. North Ave.)
Panel Discussion: a mural showing snippets of stories from community's youth, adults and elders.
"People like to make sweeping generalizations about neighborhoods, but you'll see when laid out side by side, there really is a distinct flavor to each," Damiani says.
ART Milwaukee received a $50,000 grant from the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation and supporting funds from Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the Zilber Family Foundation, the Helen Bader Foundation, the Wisconsin Arts Board and the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation to develop and implement the TypeFace projecy.
There will be a public presentation next Saturday, November 2 at 10 a.m. at Shiloh Tabernacle (3418 N. Martin Luther King Dr.) and the four works will be unveiled throughout the month of November.
There will also be a digital component to the project at typefacemke.com coming soon. Larger plans for community involvement include sending information about the project to residents in each neighborhood and encouraging them to visit the sites in the other neighborhoods.

Approximately 50 meters from the "Nederlandsche Bank" and the attractive "Utrechtsestraat" (check the Utrechtsestraat article) you will find the Weteringschans, where also the just newly opened Hotel V is located. This place is located in a bit of a deserted location, as far as you can talk about a deserted location in energetic Amsterdam…
Here you'll find a very charming spot called Uliveto. Fresh ingredients & good looking food is the credo here. Recently two staff members took over the place from the first owner Conny. It is even better than before, opening times have changed and they're open longer.
For lunch I would recommend to ask them to make your choice: probably a great plate with antipasti and a nice salad, and maybe just a small warm dish on the side for mouth-watering moments. Served with nice wine or delicious water, a very healthy utterly light sparkling water from the Uliveto brand.
The pasta with Ragu, is also not to miss. The place is nice, clean & in a way industrial. A real fat cat to accessorize and take care of the mice ? Enjoy Uliveto! Great place!

Jani Lane (February 1, 1964 – August 11, 2011) was an American recording artist and the lead vocalist, frontman, lyricist and main songwriter for the hard rock band Warrant. From Hollywood, California, the band experienced success from 1989-1996 with five albums reaching international sales of over 10 million. Lane left Warrant in 2004 and again in 2008 after a brief reunion. Lane also released a solo album Back Down to One in 2003 and the album Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner with a new group Saints of the Underground in 2008. Lane contributed his lead vocals and song writing to many various projects throughout his career.
Lane was born John Kennedy Oswald (later changed to John Patrick Oswald),[1] on February 1, 1964 in Akron, Ohio.[1] The youngest of Eileen and Robert Oswald's five children, John grew up just east of Akron in Brimfield Township along with his older brother (Eric) and 3 older sisters (Marcy, Michelle and Victoria). Eric was an accomplished guitarist; Lane himself learned to play drums at age 6 with his brother guiding and teaching him. Lane grew up listening to Cleveland rock station WMMS (100.7 FM, "The Buzzard"), and was introduced to various bands by his family, and parents Bob and Eileen.[2][3] Lane played drums under the name "Mitch Dynamite" in clubs by age 11 ("Mitch Dynamite" is listed as the drummer in the credits for Warrant's Latest and Greatest CD). Throughout the years, Lane would sometimes jump behind the kit to play with his band, and he had played the drums in various formats and gigs.[2][3]
By the time Lane was 11, his siblings had left for college or marriage except Vicky. He graduated from Field High School in 1982.[4]
After graduating from high school, Lane joined the band Cyren, featuring vocalist Skip Hammonds, guitarist John Weakland, bassist Don Hoover (and later, Rusty Fohner), with Lane on drums. After making a name for himself and his band in Ohio, he relocated to Florida in 1983, Lane played drums for Dorian Gray, before forming Plain Jane with future Warrant bandmate Steven (Chamberlin) Sweet. It was at this time that Lane adopted the stage name "Jani Lane." Lane got the name from his German grandparents' pronunciation and spelling of Johnny as "Jani." They said it as Yay-nee and that stuck. While playing drums with Dorian Gray, Lane began vocal training with Central Florida vocal coach/trainer Ron Feldman. Feldman introduced Lane to Creative Engineering, Inc. in Orlando where he worked as a programmer of the animatronic character, Dook LaRue, the drummer for the Rock-afire Explosion. His vocal debut was at Fern Park Station in Fern Park, Florida.
Lane and Sweet later relocated to Los Angeles, California, where they took various odd jobs to survive. Struggling to make ends meet as a musician, Lane resorted to working in a pornographic video warehouse.[5]
By 1986, Plain Jane had become a regular feature in the L.A. club circuit. Erik Turner, who had founded Warrant in July 1984, was impressed by Plain Jane's songwriting and vocal performance, and invited Lane and Sweet to jam with his band at Hollywood's db Sound in September 1986.
After generating notoriety on the club circuit, Warrant began to attract the attention of record labels. Following an abortive deal with A&M records over a contribution to the soundtrack for the motion picture Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the band signed with Columbia Records. The Columbia deal came via the partnering of Warrant and manager Tom Hullet (known for working with The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, and others). Tom became Lane's mentor and friend until his death from cancer in 1993.
As lead vocalist with Warrant, Lane wrote all of the band's material including four Top 40 hit singles: "Down Boys", "Sometimes She Cries", "Big Talk" and the number 2 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Heaven" for Warrant's debut double platinum album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich in 1989, which peaked at number 10 on The Billboard 200.[6] Lane also wrote another four Top 40 hit singles: "Cherry Pie," "I Saw Red," "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "Blind Faith" for the second album, the double platinum Cherry Pie in 1990, which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard 200.[7] Lane also co-wrote and performed with Warrant the song "The Power" in the 1992 movie Gladiator. The band also released their third album in 1992, the critically acclaimed Gold record Dog Eat Dog which peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200.[7]
Lane left Warrant in March 1993 to pursue a solo career but returned to the band in September 1993, helping the band to secure a new record with Tom Lipsky of CMC International. The band then recorded Ultraphobic in 1995, Belly to Belly in 1996, Greatest & Latest in 1999 and a cover album Under the Influence in 2001.
Due to personal and business disagreements, Lane left Warrant in 2004. In January 2008, the band's agent, The William Morris Agency issued a new photograph of the band with Lane prominently featured, confirming his return to the band. It was the first time that all original members had been in the band since 1993. The band's first show with all original members was in May 2008 in Nashville. Warrant then performed a series of shows during the summer of 2008, but by September 2008, Warrant and Lane agreed to move forward separately, due to "too much water under the bridge." Warrant and Lane both continued to perform Lane's compositions live and Lane continued to write for himself and other artists.
Lane became involved in acting in the early 1990s. He made a brief appearance in Caged Fear, and also appeared in High Strung in 1991.
In 1993 Jani Lane started working on his first solo project, titled "Jabberwocky," the album represented a significant musical departure from previous work but continued to be pushed back. Between 1997 and 2000, demos of Lane's solo material began surfacing on the Internet, with some bids on eBay reaching an estimated $US100.00 per copy.[8] In 2002 Lane decided to postpone the "Jabberwocky" project and instead release a brand new project as his debut solo album. The "Jabberwocky" project remains unreleased but could possibly be a follow up album in the future as Lane continues to work on the project.
Lane's official debut solo album, Back Down to One, was released on June 17, 2003 through Z Records and (2006) in the US on Immortal/Sidewinder Records. It carried a "power pop" sound which was more closely aligned with the sound of Warrant than the unreleased Jabberwocky project. Shortly after the album's release Lane was admitted to a rehab center for alcohol and drug-related exhaustion.[9]
In August 2004, Lane withdrew from the Bad Boys of Metal tour after only eight shows.
In Fall 2004, Lane contributed the lead vocals for the first ever theme song to a novel, The Devil of Shakespeare, by author, Billy McCarthy, along with JY from Styx, Ron Flynt 20/20, Chip Z'Nuff of Enuff Z'Nuff.
Lane contributed vocals on the track "Bastille Day" and "2112 Overture/Temples Of Syrinx" for the Magna Carta 2005 Rush tribute album Subdivisions.
Lane had success with the "VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped" discs where the acoustic version of "I Saw Red" was included on disc 1, a new acoustic swinging version of "Cherry Pie" featured on disc 2 and a new acoustic version of "Heaven" featured on disc 3.
In 2005, Lane became a fan favorite on the popular VH1 series Celebrity Fit Club 2. The rocker's alcohol problems were highlighted during the show, and many viewers were rooting for his recovery.[10]
In 2006 with the reissue and US release of "Back Down to One" Lane attempted to restart his own version of Warrant. Although "Back Down to One" was credited as a solo release the singer assembled a new touring band for the album subsequently titled "JANI LANE'S WARRANT". Unfortunately, his first batch of solo shows, in Michigan, would be stopped by legal action from his former band mates objecting to the use of the Warrant band logo on his posters.[11] Lane continued touring without the Warrant name and logo.
Lane lent his vocals to numerous tribute CDs during the 2000s and in 2007 Lane released a solo cover album titled "Photograph", featuring a collection of his tribute contributions.
Keri Kelli and Lane wrote a song for Alice Cooper, titled, "The One That Got Away." It was recorded by Cooper on his 2008 record, Along Came a Spider. Lane also finished work on his side project, Saints of the Underground. This project also consists of Bobby Blotzer and Robbie Crane (both from Ratt), and Keri Kelli (from Alice Cooper). Their album, Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner was released on April 22, 2008 by Warrior Records and was mixed by legendary producer/engineer Andy Johns, who worked with such bands as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, and also featuring additional bass work by Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot, House of Lords) .[12] The band was originally called "Angel City Outlaws" when they posted their first two promo singles: "Bruised" and "Exit".[13]
In summer 2010, Lane toured with Great White, filling in for singer Jack Russell, who was recuperating from surgery after suffering internal complications.
During the shooting of Warrant's "Cherry Pie" video, Lane met model Bobbie Brown, who starred in the video, and they wed a couple of months later in July 1991. They were married for three years and had a daughter, Taylar, in 1992 before divorcing in 1993.[14] Lane got married again in 1996 to actress Rowanne Brewer, a former Miss Maryland USA, and the two welcomed a daughter, Madison, the following year. They ended their marriage in 2005.[15] Lane was married a third time in 2010 to Kimberly Nash, to whom he remained married at the time of his death in 2011.
On August 11, 2011, Lane was found dead of acute alcohol poisoning at a Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, California.[16] He was 47 years old.[17][18]
A public memorial concert for Lane — with performances by fellow metal rock bands, including Great White, Quiet Riot and L.A. Guns — was held on Monday, August 29, 2011 at the Key Club in Hollywood.[19]

When a theist can write "If God doesn't exist, then how come the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs didn't kill off the cavemen," I can see that he didn't spend much time even on the Science or Discovery channels.
In case you don't know, the guy in the photo is a physicist, not an ignorant theist. He's the Science Channel's Brian Cox.
Not to be confused with the actor of the same name... heh, heh
Brian Cox, the new Carl Seagan
"He's the Science Channel's Brian Cox."
I wonder if he is a member of my family, some how?
It really sums it up, doesn't it?
If it is true that ignorance is bliss, how come more people aren't smiling?
Actually, it's the people who are continually smiling that worry me the most - nobody can be that ignorant --
Because they are too ignorant to realize that they are ignorant.

Deana Johnson was first in line at the Ocean Bay Community Center in Far Rockaway. From the first day Hurricane Sandy devastated the New York area, she has had no power or heat, and her car was destroyed. She also says she registered with FEMA but never heard back from the agency.
Waiting patiently on line since 9 a.m., Johnson, along with hundreds of other people, braved inclement weather to get necessities such as food, water, cleaning supplies and clothing from a disaster relief handout Saturday afternoon.
The relief effort was organized by state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica), who had help from the United Federation of Teachers, the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Transport Workers Union Local 100, radio station Hot 97 and other organizations.
"While there is a lack of coordination between the city, the state and federal government, we felt it necessary to step in and do what we have to do," Smith said. "When New Yorkers come together to solve a crisis, they can solve anything. That's what you're seeing today."
Smith said they were giving out supplies to last the week and would come back to give out more if needed.
Smith's office on Tuesday estimated that over 1,000 people were served at the event.
Keisha Sharp was also one of the first in line. Just like Johnson, she queued up at 9 a.m. Sharp was looking to get cleaning products to get rid of mold due to the floods.
"I think it's a good thing they're doing for the community," she said. "They didn't forget about us."
While cleaning her home was on her mind, she was strongly adamant that the tenants in her building hold a meeting to discuss a rent boycott.
"We need to have a meeting about not paying rent this month," she said. "A lot of people here have been subjected to this treatment. We shouldn't have to pay rent this month."
Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first all-black female sorority, was also on hand to help with the relief effort. Jeanine Taylor, president of the Epsilon Pi Omega chapter in southeast Queens, said that 15 to 20 members helped assist in distributing clothing, food, water, sneakers and other supplies. Members also brought canned goods and snacks and have been helping out with shelters at Queens College and York College.
The opportunity to help, Taylor said, was a moving and emotional experience.
"I'm very humbled and blessed but very grateful to help and hear from the people that we were assisting," she said in a phone interview Tuesday. "It was a rewarding experience. It made you reflect on everything you have and did not lose."
John Samuelsen, president of TWU Local 100, was struck by the altruism of New Yorkers. "These types of disasters test the best and worst of people. The overwhelmingly majority of New Yorkers want to step up and help their neighbors," he said. "That's what the folks in our union are doing."
Along with giving out supplies, Samuelsen also said TWU would bring generators to Far Rockaway for members to use for power.
For Johnson, the experience of waiting on line for relief was a humbling one and made her look at other destitute victims in another light.
"Never look down on nobody," she said. "People in third-world countries, Katrina victims — now I know what they're talking about."
She is immensely grateful for all the help: "I appreciate everything they're doing. It's a blessing."

To the dismay of housing advocates, industry groups, and U.S. legislators, a tax break for distressed homeowners who mortgages were written down expired on Dec. 31. The 2007 measure exempted borrowers from federal taxes they normally would owe on assistance received from banks, primarily in the form of short sales and forgiven home loan debt.
Although the residential property market is in recovery, housing advocates contend that the tax break put in place after the market crash is still needed. More than 6 million homeowners in this country still owe more on their mortgages than the underlying properties are worth, they say, and failure to renew the tax break would only increase their financial burden.
A report by the Congressional Research Service calculates that a middle-income homeowner who is granted a $20,000 reduction in mortgage debt could expect to owe $5,600 in federal taxes under the new reality. "It makes absolutely no sense," according to Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.). "This is not just about fairness for homeowners. This is about keeping the housing recovery alive." Many of her colleagues agree, given the broad bipartisan support for an extension of the law. While Congress went on holiday break without taking action, it could revisit the issue as soon as next week, possibly passing a retroactive extension.

Waterbury raises more objections to clinic plan
|WATERBURY CT.-04 SEPTEMBER 2013 090413DA04- Connecticut Counseling Centers operates a methadone clinic on Midland Road in Waterbury. The center offers methadone treatment to help people overcome addictions to heroin and opiate drugs. Darlene Douty Republican American
WATERBURY — If the city gets its way, the Office of Health Care Access will reject New Era Rehabilitation Center's plan to open a methadone clinic at 447 Meriden Road.
While opponents' main concern is the proposed location, which is near Chase Elementary School, the city is raising other objections. The city is expected to oppose New Era's application at a hearing, which was originally scheduled for Thursday but was postponed at the request of New Era's attorney.

Big game harvest reports
The DEC's 2011 harvest reports for whitetail deer and black bear have been issued.
The full harvest summaries are available as PDF documents at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/42232.html.
Hunters in New York State harvested more than 228,350 deer and 1,250 bears during the 2011 hunting seasons. The deer take nearly matched the 2010 deer take while a new record was set for the bear harvest in southern New York.
"Deer and bear hunting are long-standing traditions in New York, providing a valuable source of food and a means of shared recreation for many families," Commissioner Martens said in a news release. "Throughout the state, hunters play a crucial role by helping to maintain healthy and ecologically sound deer and bear populations."
Deer harvest
Of interest is the impact crossbows had on the deer harvest. 2011 marked the first year that crossbows were allowed as a legal hunting implement for deer. However, legislation limited crossbow use to the regular firearms seasons and subsequent muzzleloader seasons and as expected few hunters took crossbows afield, resulting in a total kill of just 491 deer statewide. That's less than 0.25 percent of the total harvest.
The push is on again for allowing crossbows to be used during regular archery season.
Bear harvest
In central and western New York, the 2011 bear take of 353 greatly surpassed the previous record of 193 bears set in 2008. This was due in large part to a regulation change that moved the start of the regular bear season up a week to coincide with the start of the regular deer season.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Obama To Outline Afghanistan, Pakistan Strategy
by Corey Flintoff
NPR.org, March 26, 2009 . President Obama will outline his new
strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan on Friday in an effort to
regain the initiative in the faltering Afghan war.
The president is expected to announce that he'll send an additional
4,000 American troops to Afghanistan to act as advisers and trainers
for the Afghan security forces. That's in addition to the 17,000
extra troops he has already ordered to be in place this year. The
advisers and trainers will help with an effort by American
commanders to double the size of the Afghan military by 2011.
The president's plan also is expected to call for hundreds more
civilian experts to help build Afghanistan's economy, infrastructure
and civil society. The idea there is to combat the Taliban
insurgency by showing Afghans that the government can offer them a
better life.
A key component of the new strategy is engagement with neighboring
Pakistan, where Taliban leaders have been taking refuge and training
their fighters. The plan is expected to include a recommendation to
triple the amount of American aid to Pakistan to about $1.5 billion
a year for at least five years. The aid would be contingent on
Pakistan's willingness to fight the insurgents on its own territory.
Other initiatives are likely to deal with combating the opium trade
in Afghanistan. Taliban leaders are believed to use the proceeds
from opium trafficking to finance their operations.
The administration has been developing the new strategy on the basis
of four high-level reviews of the seven-year Afghan War. The
president has urged fellow NATO members to commit more troops and
resources to the struggle, and he's expected to use the new strategy
as proof of the U.S. commitment.

Syncope (Sudden Loss of Consciousness)
Syncope is the medical term for fainting. It is a temporary, sudden loss of consciousness that is often caused by a drop in blood pressure and a fall in heart rate. Nearly half of all Americans – from young children to elderly individuals – will experience at least one fainting spell during their lifetime.
What causes syncope?
There are many causes of syncope. The most common cause is an abnormal reflex that slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure – called neurally mediated syncope (NMS) or "vasovagal" syncope. Normally, the body increases heart rate and blood pressure in response to stress. People who are susceptible to NMS experience the initial normal increase in heart rate and blood pressure under stress, but, without warning, the heart rate and blood pressure suddenly and inappropriately drop. When blood pressure falls below a critical point, the brain does not receive sufficient oxygen. This results in fainting. Fortunately, once the person is lying flat the brain will again receive enough oxygen and the patient will regain consciousness. Syncope can also result from:
- cardiac arrhythmias – very slow heart rhythms (bradycardia) or very fast rhythms (tachycardia).
- mechanical abnormalities of the heart, such as obstruction of a valve.
- other causes, such as dehydration, low blood sugar, a seizure, or even a panic attack.
What are the symptoms of syncope?
NMS patients usually perceive a warning that they are about to faint. This typically includes light-headedness, dizziness, sweating, or nausea. Often sitting or lying down successfully prevents fainting from occurring. If fainting occurs, it typically lasts a few seconds. Once the person regains consciousness, they typically feel tired. This may last several hours.
Can syncope be dangerous?
Regardless of the cause, all patients with syncope should be evaluated by a doctor. Anyone who loses consciousness is at risk for injury as a result of falling. Some patients with syncope have warning signs and are able to lie down before they lose consciousness completely. Other patients may not have warning signs and may hurt themselves by falling unexpectedly. Severe arrhythmias that might cause syncope can potentially be life threatening and must be treated by a physician. Even if a patient has a benign cause of syncope, they may need treatment to protect them from the risk of injury.
How is syncope diagnosed?
An evaluation to determine the cause of syncope, can usually be done on an outpatient basis. However, if a dangerous cause is suspected, the patient should be admitted to the hospital until the precise cause is determined and treatment is begun.
- Medical History:
The evaluation of a patient with syncope begins with a history and a physical examination by a physician. Sometimes, the patient's description of the faint, as well as his/her medical history can be enough to suggest the cause of syncope.
Diagnostic Tests
Since most patients have a cardiovascular cause of syncope, diagnostic testing usually begins with an evaluation of the heart. The tests to be done and their sequences are carefully selected based on the patient's symptoms, starting with simple, non-invasive (and generally less expensive) tests. One or more of the following tests may be used:
- Electrocardiogram. Commonly known as an "ECG", this test assesses the heart's electrical rhythm and may identify rhythm disturbances that may produce syncope.
- Echocardiogram. With this test, ultrasound images of the heart are used to determine whether cardiac anatomy or pumping function
- Holter Monitoring (Recording). The Holter Monitor is a small portable device that provides a 24-hour continuous ECG 4recording. This 24-hour recording may identify transient disturbances in the heart's rhythm that can cause syncope. Occasionally, an actual recording of the patient's rhythm during an episode of lightheadedness or fainting can be obtained.
- Event Monitors. These monitors allow the patient to record the heart rhythm at the time of symptoms. The patient can wear this monitor for days or weeks if necessary to detect an episode that might not occur while using a 24-hour monitor.
- Implantable loop recorders. For patients with recurrent syncope in whom other tests have been inconclusive, a small monitor can be implanted under the skin to continuously monitor the heart rhythm. This device is useful for detecting the cause of syncope in patients with infrequent episodes that nevertheless pose a risk of injury or interfere with the patient's lifestyle.
If these tests do not determine the cause of syncope, the approach to diagnostic testing shifts to tests that explore the cause of fainting in a controlled laboratory situation.
- Cardiac electrophysiology testing is an invasive procedure used to assess the heart's electrical conduction system and determines the heart's vulnerability to developing either fast or slow rhythms that may cause syncope.
- Tilt table testing is used to detect abnormal reflexes that cause syncope. The patient lies flat on a table that is able to tilt. The patient is tilted upright at an angle, with the head always above the feet; patients are not tilted upside down. As the patient is tilted toward the upright position, blood pressure is measured and an ECG records the heart's electrical activity. For some patients, a medication is given through a vein while the patient is upright to provoke the fainting reflex. In susceptible patients, these approaches will reveal abnormal cardiovascular reflexes that produce syncope.
How is syncope treated?
Treatment depends on the specific cause of the syncope; not all patients with neurally mediated syncope require treatment. Many people will experience syncope only once or very infrequently. In addition, many people can prevent fainting by sitting or lying down when they feel a warning signal that they are about to faint. Some patients, however, experience frequent fainting. Several treatments are available for patients who require it.
Lifestyle modification is important in preventing neurally mediated syncope. Patients are usually encouraged to stay well hydrated and add salt to their diet. Caffeine and alcohol sometimes provoke this reflex.
The most commonly used type of medication to prevent syncope is called a beta-blocker. There are many different beta-blockers, but they all function similarly. They block the "stress" receptors on the heart and limit the heart's response to stressful situations. This is believed to block the initial stress on the heart that triggers syncope.
An alternative medication is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) such as paroxetine (Paxil). Serotonin is a chemical released by the brain that regulates many bodily functions. The precursor of serotonin has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rate in experimental studies. Drugs like Paxil block the effects of serotonin and have been effective in the treatment of syncope.
The medicine fludrocortisone (Florinef) has also been used to prevent this reflex. This medicine helps retain fluid and salt in the body, and prevents dehydration.
If medications fail, or in severe cases, pacemaker implantation has been successful in decreasing the number of fainting episodes.

Oceana Magazine Winter 2010: January Jones: A Voice for Sharks
By Suzannah Evans
Actress January Jones made her first visit to Capitol Hill in September when she came to lobby on behalf of the Shark Conservation Act of 2009.
Along with Oceana federal policy director Beth Lowell and marine scientist Elizabeth Griffin, Jones, who is best known for her role as Betty Draper on the hit drama "Mad Men," visited with members of Congress including Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and John McCain (RAZ). Senator McCain surprised her with a quick tour of the Capitol building.
"The spontaneous, private tour of the Capitol by Senator McCain was a real highlight," Jones said. "But my true favorite part was seeing that the process can work and that it's possible to pass good legislation. It was great to talk with the senators and to have them listen to what I had to say."
Jones' message of shark conservation was a hit.
"Two of the senators immediately signed onto the bill," she said. "I was surprised by how supportive they were. I think it's a testament to the great work being done by Oceana."
Less than two months after Jones' trip to the Capitol, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee passed the Shark Conservation Act. The House of Representatives passed similar legislation in March.
The legislation would require all sharks caught in U.S. waters to be landed whole with their fins still attached. This bill would put an end to shark finning, the process of cutting off the fins and discarding the carcass at sea. Landing sharks with their fins still attached allows for better enforcement and data collection for stock assessments and quota monitoring. The act would also close a loophole that allows the transfer of fins at sea as a way to get around current law. Additionally, the bill would allow the United States to take action against countries whose shark finning restrictions are not as effective.
Now, the Shark Conservation Act must pass the full Senate. Inspired by her success in her first visit to Washington, Jones is eager to continue helping protection sharks from extinction.
"Yes, I would like to come back – to the White House ceremony for the bill signing!" she said.

For a few countries the lifeblood is oil, but it brings almost as many problems as it does benefits. Sudan is a country with vast oilfields in the south generating billions of dollars which are supposed to be shared even if Sudan is separated by January's referendum. Of course that could easily be a tipping point for a country that has been tearing itself apart for most of its existence. And so a deal has been struck to guarantee the flow of Sudan's oil to the outside world, and as such the flow of money into the country. But why can an agreement be reached so easily over oil, when so many other threatening issues remained unresolved? Joining the programme are Mohamed Ibrahim Shoush, a Sudan analyst from the Sudanese embassy here in Doha, Hamdi Abdul Rahman, a professor of political science from the University of Cairo, and Nico Plooijen of the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan.

WASHINGTON - Don't sacrifice your retirement fund to pay for your kid's college, don't neglect your health as you age, don't buy a house until you really can and don't wait to start saving for your older years.
That is just some of the advice offered by finance expert Carmen Wong Ulrich in her book "The Real Cost of Living: Making the Best Choices for You, Your Life, and Your Money."
Money decisions are often driven by personal wants, desires, fears, needs and how much someone is willing to risk, Wong Ulrich says.
Putting a child through college is something every parent wants to be able to do, but Wong Ulrich says parents can't forget about their own future.
"You really have to take care of yourself first before your child," she says.
She points out in her book that most Americans are far behind in saving for retirement. If parents sacrifice their future funds for their child's college education, they will end up depending on that child when their retirement money runs out.
Your health, Wong Ulrich says, is your greatest wealth. No matter how much money you have, if you end up with a chronic illness or get into an accident, you can lose everything.
"A third of your expenses in retirement will probably be medical," she says.
Wong Ulrich suggests taking preventative health care measures such as giving up bad habits like smoking or drinking, exercising and going to yearly checkups. That way, if something is wrong, a doctor will catch it early.
Wong Ulrich also cautions not to jump into buying a house.
"You want to buy a house when it's right for you, not when the market says it's right, not when your broker says it's right," she says.
She says people should only buy a house if they have ample emergency funds available, a great credit score and can put down more than 10 percent.
Lastly, Wong Ulrich says it's never too late to start saving for retirement. Whether it's getting a second job or downsizing, "there's always something that can be done," she says.
