Well, not really, considering; I have been a independent contractor for over 10 years. The first year, I was charging much lower rates to become competitive on Odesk. I learned real quick to NEVER set your hourly rate to compete with another contractors. I have a base living salary that must be met; just like everyone else, I need to put food on the table for my family. Running a self-employed business, I have business expenses (Insurance, Contractor's License, Training, Office Space, Utilities, Taxes, etc.) for all of which are considered overhead. These are factored in with my hourly rate, if not, I do not meet my base living salary.

The 5th Annual New York City Poetry Festival
- Performing & Visual Arts
- 10 South St, #7, New York, NY, 10004
Lyrics in Motion
Modern-Day Griot Theatre Company
Daily Event: 7:00 PM (EDT)
Brooklyn, NY
Lyrics in Motion is an experimental piece that combines the cadence and rhythm of the written word to the art of interpretative movement.
The Poet
We ask Wordsmiths to create their work of art using topics from The Seven Deadly Sins versus The Seven Virtues which they have picked at random. They will have two (2) days to create a three to five (3 to 5) minute piece to which they will perform.
The Dancer
The Dancers will then pick the Poet and their piece at random. They will listen to the poetry and choregraph a movement based on the musicality of the words, the measure and lilt of the Poet's voice and language.
The Art
Both artists will collaborate to perform the piece in front of a live audience. That will be the first half of the show. The second half will be the freestyle portion of the show where the Lyricist will then pull another virtue or vice that has yet to be selected at random. The Dancer will pick the poet. Together, they will perform a Sound and Movement piece on the fly. The challenge for the artists will be to listen and watch each other.
Our Goal
We want to include the audience in the process of artist collaboration and see where it takes us metaphysically and emotionally.
Modern-Day Griot Theatre Company is an experimental, interdisciplinary theatre company that is committed to expressing the human experience by using the storytelling art-form of the West African Griot.
A griot (GREE oh) is a storyteller, singer, musician and oral historian (pretty much an African troubadour-historian). They often sing songs telling stories of their cultural heritage and traditions.

Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad ...who's just, well...Dad. However, Mo is having a crisis. She's about to do something unusually wild and selfish, which will leave the entire family teetering on the edge of a precipice. Will the family fall?

Customer reviews
By Michelle Tan JY 08 May 2012
I have a knack of choosing bad books and I usually end up not finishing most of the books that I bought off the shelf. However, I picked this out from the bookstore hoping that the likes of Dawn French would entertain me: and it's safe to say she did not disappoint.
Written in a narrative-diary-like manner, Dawn French portrays her characters and their respective family roles quite well. They're engaging, entertaining and they all seem to have come to life through the words of Ms French's writing. Overall this book made me laugh and cry and the same time. Sheer pleasure and a delight for afternoon reads. :)
By Karen Livingstone 04 Jul 2011
I absolutely loved this laughed all the way through!!!! Could not put it down for a minute!!! The characters are very realistic certainly to my family anyway a really enjoyable read
By Mark DeGaris 06 Feb 2011
I love reading and will normally finish any book. This is the exception. What a shocker. Total load of drivel. Unfinishable. Unreadable. Totally disappointing.

HHS grad takes unique approach to funding college
February 28, 2014 at 10:40 am
Video Included | Mobile Reader | Print
JP McGraw, who graduated from Hahnville in 2009, is using a crowdfunding website to try and fund his college education.
Earlier this year, JP McGraw, 22, a 2009 graduate of Hahnville High School, embarked on his journey to become an animator. McGraw was first introduced to and fell in love with animation as a child and his appreciation of the art form progressed from watching cartoons to more complex computer animation movies such as "Toy Story." It was not until he was a junior in high school and attending the Satellite Center that McGraw began to make his first animations and learn the basics.
However, McGraw took a few years off from the art form to go to Delgado Community College in pursuit of a business degree. He also dedicated a lot of free time as a youth leader at First United Methodist Church in Luling, where he also taught Sunday school courses. But he continued to dream of becoming an animator. Upon further exploration, he realized that it may be possible for him to have a career in the field, but he would just have to make a commitment.
"I had always thought becoming an animator was sort of a dream job, not one that actually happens like a pro basketball player or a rock star or something. Then I started to find websites dedicated to amateur Flash animators and started seeing some of them go on to bigger things and make actual careers out of it," he said. "I started realizing that being an animator was actually a possibility and not just a far-fetched dream."
After making a trip to California last year, McGraw decided it was time to finally go after his dreams. The first generation college student had never lived outside of Luling, but he traveled to San Francisco to attend an elite animation program at the Academy of Art University.
"It's been an adventure to say the least. I flew into San Francisco on Jan. 23 and moved into my room the next day. At first I was busy exploring the city, seeing the touristy places and trying out the food. Then classes started and I really got busy" he said. "It's a lot of work, but it's certainly helping me to learn and to build a demo reel for once I finish college to actually get a job.
"They've had me dive straight into animating, which is a blast. It's tons of fun, but a huge amount of work at the same time. You definitely have to be passionate about what you're doing to make it here."
Although he is in the midst of the adventure of a lifetime, there is only one problem – McGraw does not have the ability to pay for a full year at the school.
"I've already maxed out my grants and loans for the year and I only have enough to pay for the first semester," he said.
To help fund his education, McGraw came upon a unique solution. He signed up for an online account at Go Fund Me in an attempt at crowdfunding his education. Although crowdfunding has become more and more prevalent for consumers to raise funds for inventors, writers or musicians in exchange for their finished products, education crowdfunding is a newer concept.
McGraw said he had not heard of other students trying to fund their education in this way, but he was willing to try it.
"It started as just a way for some family and friends to be able to easily help me out with school, and it did a well enough job at that. Then as it got a bit bigger, people I didn't even know started to donate to me," McGraw said. "I figured there was no reason to keep them from doing so - if they want to help me achieve my dream, I'll be thoroughly thankful and appreciative. After all, every bit helps."
Instead of offering traditional goods and services in exchange for funding, McGraw is offering everything from a high five for $5 to hugs, public "thank yous" and buttons and stickers he created for different funding levels up to $100.
McGraw has raised a few hundred dollars, but he is hoping more people from the St. Charles Parish community will reach out and help him attain his goal of $7,000 to help him continue his education.
For now, McGraw has already begun posting his new animations to his Youtube account and a clip is available above. For more information on how you may be able to help McGraw achieve his dreams, take a look at his crowdfunding campaign at www.gofundme.com/tuitionforaau.

Tax Administration:
Status of IRS' Efforts to Develop Measures of Voluntary Compliance
GAO-01-535: Published: Jun 8, 2001. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The U.S. tax system is based on voluntary reporting. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reviews all tax returns after they are filed to ensure compliance with tax laws governing this voluntary system. Despite these efforts, each year billions of dollars in taxes owed are not voluntarily reported and paid, which could result in reduced revenue to fund federal programs, higher tax rates, or both. There are three types of voluntary compliance measures: filing compliance, which measures the percent of taxpayers who file returns in a timely manner; payment compliance, which measures the percent of tax payments that are paid in a timely manner; and reporting compliance, which measures the percent of actual tax liability that is reported accurately on returns. This report reviews the status of IRS' plans to measure voluntary reporting compliance as well as six other federal programs that currently measure voluntary compliance. GAO found that IRS has tried to develop an approach for measuring voluntary compliance. It has established objectives and guiding principles for developing this measure as well as developed database software to collect and analyze data. As of March 2001, IRS' preliminary draft plan included four alternatives for measuring voluntary reporting compliance. GAO found that each of the six programs measure compliance by gathering different types and amounts of information from a random sample of clients. Sample sizes range from about 1,400 to more than 500,000 annually. In all but one program, clients are randomly selected and interviewed in person.

Adobe Illustrator has long been the most popular and viable vector-drawing program on the market but, for many, the learning curve is steep. In Illustrator CS3 One-on-One: The Essentials , author and leading industry expert Deke McClelland teaches the key features of Illustrator in a way that anyone can understand. He also goes beyond that, showing users how to get into the Illustrator "mindset" to make mastering Illustrator simple and easy. The training covers how to use the core drawing and shape tools, the transformation and reshaping features, text and gradients, and color management and printing features. Even if learning Illustrator has been a struggle in the past, this time it is going to make sense. Exercise files accompany the training.
In this exercise I'm going to show you how a make a new document inside of Illustrator because after all, it's something that you have to do every once in a while. Now throughout this series I'm going to be having you open documents that I've created for you but as you work on your own documents, every so often you're going to have to start with a new page. So how do you do it? You go out to the File menu and you choose the New command, or you can press Control+N or Command+N on the Mac. And then it'll ask you what you want to save the document.
You can just call it something along the lines of My artwork if you want to, you don't have to name the document at this point. In fact, you don't have to do a darn thing. You could just go ahead and click on the OK button in order to proceed, if you want to. As I was telling you earlier in the earlier exercise, you can always modify the document after you make it and I'll be showing you how to perform such modifications in the very next exercise. Naming your artwork just goes ahead and gives it a name in the title bar and it will become the default name when you go to save the document.
Next you need to choose a Document Profile. Now, what I suggest you do in this case is if you plan to print your illustration, go ahead and choose Print. If you plan to send your illustration to the web, then go ahead and choose Web and so on. Now, what if you plan to double purpose your illustration? It's going to be a print document and it's going to be a Web document. Well whatever is the most important of the two. If it's starting out as a print document and you're going to ultimately take it over to the web, then choose Print. If it's first and foremost a Web document and you may repurpose it as a Print document as well, then choose Web because they rely on different color models. If you go with Print you're going to be creating a CMYK document, and by the way I'm seeing these options down here because I have expanded the Advanced portion of the dialog box by clicking on this little icon right there.
CMYK, by the way, stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are the process colors of print, of process color printing, that is commercial reproduction as opposed your inkjet device. And these are members of the subtractive color model, meaning that you use ink, printed inks on a white page presumably. And that's the opposite color model of the Web, which uses RGB, that is red, green, and blue. These are the additive colors and these are the color primaries of your screen or of any light projection device, any color projection device out there, as well as scanners, digital cameras and other image capture devices.
This doesn't prohibit you from defining colors using CMYK or if you're going to Print you can define colors using RGB. That's perfectly acceptable. Illustrator requires you to pick an overarching color model so that it can clip your colors accordingly. So that it can display your colors properly on screen. So I'm going to Print. I'll just go ahead and choose Print here. You can choose a specific page size if you want to in order to size your art board, but really Illustrator allows you to create any size artwork you want, since much of the time you're creating spot illustrations. That is illustrations that you plan on bringing over into a page layout program such as in Adobe InDesign or Quark Express. You're not beholden to a page size, that is a page size that's available to your printer.
You can specify any size page you want, any size art board. So I'm going to go ahead and enter a specific size. Now notice my units are set to points, as they are by default in the states here in the United States inside Illustrator, but you can switch them out to something else if you want to. Points are 1/72 of an inch, for what it's worth. Very tiny increments. You also have Picas, there's 12 points in a pica, and six picas in an inch. And of course you have inches, you may be familiar with those.
Millimeters if you're in any country besides the US, you're probably working with millimeters or centimeters. And finally, if you're preparing artwork for the Web or you're preparing artwork to open it up inside of Photoshop, you may prefer to work with pixels. I'm going to go ahead and stick with points because you can override these units. Let's say for example that I want to enter a value in inches. I want for example, the width of my document to be 6 inches. Well, I would enter 6 in. Even though I'm working with points the in. is going to override those points and as soon as I press Tab, notice it goes ahead and updates that value, converts it to points. I could also by the way, enter 6 inches if I wanted to. Notice that, or check this out. I could enter 6 and a double quote, like that, that also stands for inches here inside of Illustrator.
And of course you've got things like you could say, Gosh I want to do 120 mm, mm for millimeters. S you have a bunch of different overrides that are available to you. Finally, if you're comfortable with picas and points. For example, you know that you want a document that's 36 picas, 6 points wide, then you'd enter 32p6 like that. The p stands for the division between the picas and points. Just so that know. You can work any way you want, and in my case, I'm going to say 6 inches by 6 inches. I'm going to do square document.
Doesn't matter the orientation in my case because I'm going with a square. And then I'll go ahead and click OK in order to create my new document and here it is. Now one of the amazing great things. I'll go ahead and hide my Layers palette here by clicking on that double arrow icon that was in the Layers palette toolbar. One of the great things about working inside of Illustrator CS3 is they've really fixed that problem that we used to have in the old days where an illustration could slide behind the palettes and your Illustrator window was way too darn big, it would always consume the entire screen. Well inside of Illustrator CS3, it is set to by default fit inside the confines of the interface, So you're never covering up your illustration with palettes or other sort of weird hanging objects, which makes it a much easier environment to work with.

Kellie Pickler Engaged to Songwriter Kyle Jacobs
The former 'American Idol' contestant, who now makes her rounds on the country music stage, will wed her boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, PEOPLE reports.
Jacobs proposed on June 15 -- which is normally a "sad and hard" day for Pickler because it was her late grandmother's birthday. But the question changed everything.
"It turned out to be the most amazing day of my life. My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing," she tells PEOPLE.
"I remember saying to Kyle, 'Baby it's like I'm dreaming – but if this isn't real, I'm going to be very upset!'" she says of the proposal.
The 23-year-old singer met Jacobs through a friend two-and-a-half years ago.
"I'm in the happiest place I've ever been," Pickler gushes.
The former Mrs. Eddie Van Halen will marry her longtime boyfriend, an equity fund manager, sometime this fall.

This girl is a winner. I hope she has a long and lasting marriage. I mean seems she can't lose. I saw her on "Are you Smarter than a 5th grader." She's not by the way if that show is any indication. She was dumb as dirt on that show and she still won a pile of money. Ain't life strange?

I just love Kellie Pickler. Ever since she made her audition on American Idol I have followed her career. She is just adorable! I wish I was her mother. I would be so so proud. I'm a 60 yr old grandma and the first cd I ever played in my car is Red High Heels. I just love it! In fact it's the only cd I ever listen to. Love her music. Funny thing is that I was never interested in Country until I heard Kellie sing. You are awesome and I wish you the very very best in life. Your kids are going to be so cute!
- Friday 25 JuneBy Mack
As someone who's followed Kellie's career and life closely since her Idol days, I am thrilled for her.
Kyle seems like a nice, down-to-earth young man with a good head on his shoulders.
She's clearly marrying for love and not fame, and that's smart.

A diverse group of authors journey into the fringes of human consciousness, tackling psychic and paranormal phenomena, lucid dreaming, synchronistic encounters, and more. Collected from the online magazine Reality Sandwich, these essays explore regions of the mind often traversed by shamans, mystics, and visionary artists; adjacent and contiguous to our normal waking state, these realms may be encountered in dreams or out-of-body experiences, accessed through meditation or plant medicines, and marked by psychic phenomena and uncanny synchronicities. From demons encountered in sleep paralysis visions to psychic research conducted by the CIA, the seemingly disparate topics covered here congeal to form a larger picture of what these extraordinary states of consciousness might have to tell us about the nature of reality itself.
Jordan has pioneered innovative Web sites such as SonicNet, Word, and Media Channel, where he is now site director.

Fox retraction tells us a lot | Albuquerque Journal News By Leonard Pitts / Syndicated Columnist PUBLISHED: Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 12:05 am
Fox is, after all, the network of death panels, terrorist fist jabs, birtherism, anchor babies, victory mosques, wars on Christmas and Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. It's not just that it is the chief global distributor of unfact and untruth but that it distributes unfact and untruth with a bluster, an arrogance, a gonad-grabbing swagger, that implicitly and intentionally dares you to believe fact and truth matter.
Many of us have gotten used to this. We don't even bother to protest Fox being Fox. Might as well protest a sewer for stinking.
But the French and the British, being French and British, see it differently. And that's what produced the scenario that recently floored many of us.

Fresh Herb Risotto
Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
- 7 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, chervil, dill, basil, chives and arugula (4 cups leaves)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ⅔ cup finely chopped onion or leek
- Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
- 1 ½ cups arborio or carnaroli rice
- ½ cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Nutritional Information
Nutritional information per serving398 calories; 10 grams fat; 3 grams saturated fat; 1 gram polyunsaturated fat; 6 grams monounsaturated fat; 9 milligrams cholesterol; 61 grams carbohydrates; 3 grams dietary fiber; 216 milligrams sodium; 13 grams protein
- Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer on the stove, with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned. Combine the herbs and one of the minced garlic cloves in a bowl, and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan. Add the onion or leek and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
- Stir in the rice and the remaining three cloves of garlic, and stir just until the grains of rice become separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
- Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. When the rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy, usually in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and correct seasoning.
- Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the herbs, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy. If you put some on a plate and tilt the plate the mound of rice should flatten out. Serve right away.
- Advance preparation: You can begin up to several hours before serving. Proceed with the recipe, and cook halfway through step 4 — that is, for about 15 minutes. The rice should still be hard when you remove it from the heat, and there should not be any liquid in the pan. Spread it in an even layer in the pan, and keep it away from the heat until you resume cooking. If the pan is not wide enough for you to spread the rice in a thin layer, transfer it to a sheet pan. Fifteen minutes before serving, resume cooking as instructed. Martha Rose Shulman can be reached at martha-rose-shulman.com.

BY TOMAS J. PHILIPSON AND ERIC SUN, Investor's Business Daily
At the height of the AIDS crisis in the late 1980s, the Food and Drug Administration was excoriated by AIDS activists for the plodding pace at which it reviewed new drug candidates. The sense of urgency even panic surrounding AIDS led to a laundry list of reforms that sped up the FDA's reviews of new drugs and helped revolutionize AIDS treatment.
It's time for a second revolution.
Driven by concerns about drug safety, the pre-application process has only grown slower and more costly. Patients with life-threatening diseases like Alzheimer's and pancreatic cancer have few, if any, good treatments available to them and can't afford to wait a decade or more for new treatments to reach the market.
While the FDA moves much faster today once it receives a new drug application, regulations surrounding drug development before drugs reach the FDA are now the critical area for reform.
There is a cost to caution. To add urgency to today's reform efforts, policymakers and regulators need to understand how delays in drug development and approval cost lives. They can then streamline drug-development regulations to take into account new advances in many scientific areas, advances that have the potential to deliver more innovative therapies to patients faster than ever before without sacrificing drug safety.
The most important reform from the AIDS era may be the 1992 passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act. The new law proved a tremendous success, slashing median FDA review times from nearly three years in 1993 to just 15 months in 2007.
PDUFA gave the FDA the authority to impose fees (similar to a driver's application fee at the DMV) on drug companies, which the agency used to hire more staff and speed up the review of pending drug applications.
In recent years, however, the FDA has developed an ever more voracious appetite for data, requiring companies to do more tests and conduct longer, larger and more complex clinical trials to demonstrate drug safety out of concern for rare but dangerous side effects and this is in addition to whatever time the FDA actually spends reviewing the final drug application.
Current estimates suggest that bringing a new drug from discovery to market takes roughly 12 years and costs about $1 billion. Meanwhile, millions of patients with life-threatening diseases hold out hope for new medicines. The only way to get them in their hands faster is to streamline the overall drug-development process.

California keeps reminding us what has gone astray with America in recent years. The state is in the midst of a crippling four-year-old drought.

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the redefinition of marriage seals the end of America as the Founders envisioned it.

Article: Cost-benefit analysis of esophageal cancer endoscopic screening in high-risk areas of China.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To estimate the cost-benefit of endoscopic screening strategies of esophageal cancer (EC) in high-risk areas of China. Markov model-based analyses were conducted to compare the net present values (NPVs) and the benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) of 12 EC endoscopic screening strategies. Strategies varied according to the targeted screening age, screening frequencies, and follow-up intervals. Model parameters were collected from population-based studies in China, published literatures, and surveillance data. Compared with non-screening outcomes, all strategies with hypothetical 100,000 subjects saved life years. Among five dominant strategies determined by the incremental cost-effectiveness analysis, screening once at age 50 years incurred the lowest NPV (international dollar-I$55 million) and BCR (2.52). Screening six times between 40-70 years at a 5-year interval [i.e., six times(40)f-strategy] yielded the highest NPV (I$99 million) and BCR (3.06). Compared with six times(40)f-strategy, screening thrice between 40-70 years at a 10-year interval resulted in relatively lower NPV, but the same BCR. EC endoscopic screening is cost-beneficial in high-risk areas of China. Policy-makers should consider the cost-benefit, population acceptance, and local economic status when choosing suitable screening strategies.World Journal of Gastroenterology 05/2012; 18(20):2493-501.

Article: Estimating the costs of esophageal cancer screening, early diagnosis and treatment in three high risk areas in China.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer (EC) in some rural areas with poor health resources in China are the highest around the world. In these areas, screening programs for EC are conducted for prevention and control. However, costs associated with esophageal cancer screening have not been characterized in detail. This study is aimed to estimate the screening, early diagnosis and treatment costs of EC using micro-costing methods, which could provide basic cost inputs for further systematic health economic evaluation. Micro-costing methods were adopted to collect data on quantity and unit cost of used resources. Data was obtained from face-to-face interview with medical staff, local hospitals' database, and experts' input. We used 80% capacity utilization and 3% discount rate to annualize capital investments, and all costs were adjusted to year 2008 using the gross domestic production deflator, and then converted from Chinese currency unit to international dollars (I$) using purchasing power parity. Screening costs per case were around I$60. For severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and intramucosal carcinoma, the costs per capita of endoscopic mucosal resection were I$1292~I$1620, and around I$450 for argon plasma coagulation. For submucosal carcinoma (T1N0M0), and invasive carcinoma treated by esophagectomy, the treatment costs ranged from I$1485 to I$2171. The costs of treatment of invasive carcinoma were: I$497~I$685.2 for radiotherapy; I$4652~I$7966.15 for chemotherapy; I$1928~I$2805 for combination of esophagectomy and radiotherapy; I$6632~I$8082 for esophagectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in combination. The cost analysis found screening, early diagnosis and treatment for EC could provide great cost savings. The results provide important information for further health economic evaluation, and to help the local policy makers on updating such screening program in high risk areas in China.Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention: APJCP 01/2011; 12(5):1245-50. · 2.51 Impact Factor
Article: Relationship between genetic polymorphisms of ALDH2 and ADH1B and esophageal cancer risk: a meta-analysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the contribution of alcohol dehydrogenase-1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) polymorphisms to the risk of esophageal cancer. Nineteen articles were included by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Chinese Biomedical Database, 13 on ADH1B and 18 on ALDH2. We performed a meta-analysis of case-control studies including 13 studies on ADH1B (cases/controls: 2390/7100) and 18 studies on ALDH2 (2631/6030). The crude odds ratio [OR (95% confidence interval)] was 2.91 (2.04-4.14) for ADH1B*1/*1 (vs ADH1B*2/*2) and 1.32 (1.17-1.49) for ADH1B*1/*2. The crude OR for ALDH2*1/*2 (vs ALDH2*1/*1) was 2.52 (1.76-3.61). ADH1B*1/*1 increased the risk of esophageal cancer among never/rare [1.56 (0.93-2.61)], moderate [2.71 (1.37-5.35)], and heavy drinkers [3.22 (2.27-4.57)]. ADH1B*1/*2 was associated with a modest risk among moderate drinkers [1.43 (1.09-1.87)]. ALDH2*1/*2 increased the risk among never/rare [1.28 (0.91-1.80)], moderate [3.12 (1.95-5.01)], and heavy [7.12 (4.67-10.86)] drinkers, and among ex-drinkers [5.64 (1.57-20.25)]. ALDH2*2/*2 increased the risk among drinkers [4.42 (1.72-11.36)]. ADH1B*1/*1 plus ALDH2*1/*2 was associated with the highest risk for heavy drinkers [12.45 (2.9-53.46)]. The results of the meta-regression analysis showed that the effects of ADH1B*1/*1 and ALDH2*1/*2 increased with the level of alcohol consumption. ALDH2*1/*2 was associated with a high risk among Taiwan Chinese and Japanese drinkers, as opposed to a moderate risk among drinkers in high-incidence regions of Mainland China. ADH1B*1/*1 in heavy drinkers and ALDH2*1/*2 in moderate-to-heavy drinkers was associated with similarly high risk among both men and women. ADH1B/ALDH2 genotypes affect the risk of esophageal cancer, and the risk is modified by alcohol consumption, ethnicity, and gender.World Journal of Gastroenterology 09/2010; 16(33):4210-20. · 2.43 Impact Factor

From the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, Marylands extraordinary coastal resources contribute to its economy, environment and quality of life. With these remarkable resources comes great responsibility. Coastal resources must be protected and conserved, yet communities must be able to thrive economically. Marylands Chesapeake & Coastal Service (CCS) works to achieve that balance, providing leadership in the management and restoration of Chesapeake, coastal, and ocean resources.
What We Do
Marylands Chesapeake & Coastal Service is a partnership among local, regional and state agencies. CCS collaborates with many private organizations, such as local land trusts and economic development groups. We provide technical assistance, training, information, tools and science, and by administering state and federal funds to help the State and local communities restore local waterways; prepare for future storm events, shoreline change, and sea level rise; protect habitats, foster clean coastal industries and encouraging citizens to become caring stewards. Over the past three decades, this partnership has helped Maryland work to reduce the environmental impacts of coastal development, resolve significant conflicts between competing coastal uses and provide critical assistance to local governments in coastal planning and resource protection.
Goals of the Chesapeake & Coastal Service
- Accelerate the recovery of coastal resources through improved water quality.
- Increase the number of State and local governments prepared for the impacts of future stormevents, shoreline changes and sea level rise.
- Improve MDs ability to balance the use of coastal resources with their long term conservation.
- Improve environmental literacy and motivate individuals and groups to take actions that benefit Chesapeake, coastal and ocean resources.
NOTE: The CCS website is undergoing major updates over the next few months. Please subscribe to our free electronic newsletter, In the Zone, to receive updates on our progress.
