Integrated Cancer Care
Strength. Support. Success.
At the Center for Advanced Therapy, we believe that cancer care should focus on treating the whole patient. From the latest in medical treatments and technologies for the body to our healing environment, our integrated cancer program is designed to help you overcome the physical, mental and emotional challenges of your diagnosis.
Our collective approach to patient care means that you will be managed by a team of experts who are familiar with your health history. Through this ongoing collaboration, our dedicated oncologists, radiologists, nurses, clinicians, community educators, surgeons, social workers, psychologists and chaplains will make sure that you have access to the care and services you need to thrive.
Additionally, our experienced health navigators are prepared to help you on your healing journey by connecting you with services across our hospital campus—making the process more manageable for both you and your loved ones.
Our Goals
Screenings and Diagnosis
Rush University Affiliation
Types of Cancer
Our cancer services encompass three main goals:
We provide services that
the body following a cancer diagnosis, including advanced, leading-edge treatments; nutrition services; pain management; physical and occupational therapy; and, fitness and wellness offerings (including acupuncture and massage) through Galter LifeCenter, Chicago's premier medical fitness facility.
We offer a variety of healing services that support the mind, including
groups, patient education, stress reduction seminars, experienced social workers and alternative therapies.
We create targeted goals to help you
on your health care journey. Our experts take an active role in determining the best course of care for each patient. Additionally, our commitment to research and education, and partnerships with other institutions in Chicago (such as Rush University Medical Center), allow us to provide the most advanced cancer care and treatments available.
We understand and value the unique goals of each patient, and we work with you to both set goals and achieve them with the use of a personalized care plan. Through our collaborative approach to health care and commitment to providing an excellent patient experience, we offer advanced cancer care with the personal attention that every patient deserves.
Excellent screening and diagnostic services are the essential first step in the continuum of quality cancer care. That's why we place great importance on these services at Swedish Covenant Hospital, offering the latest technology and programs designed to reach as many individuals in our community as possible.
For more detailed information on recommended screening guidelines, click here.
3-D mammography
3-D imaging benefits younger women and those with dense breasts by identifying abnormalities which may have been obscured in the past. Swedish Covenant Hospital is one of the only hospitals in Chicago equipped with 3-D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis. This innovative technology provides higher quality, more detailed images and scan results, which means more accurate diagnoses for our patients.
In 2-D mammograms, a camera positioned near the top of the X-ray machine takes a still image of the breast from above. This delivers a picture of the flattened breast which radiologists then examine for problem areas, such as masses or nodules. However, the static images can make it difficult for physicians to see abnormalities in dense breast tissue.
3-D mammograms, on the other hand, take multiple sweeping images across the breast. This allows physicians and technicians to access both pictures of the individual "slices" of a woman's breast, as well as a composite of the images. By "rolling through" the multiple images, radiologists are able to essentially look under and behind dense breast tissue to find any areas of concern.
Mammograms can be scheduled at Swedish Covenant Hospital within one week. Even if you've had a mammogram before, make sure you're up to date. If your primary care physician is not affiliated with Swedish Covenant Hospital, you can still schedule your mammogram with us. Your results will be faxed to your physician. To schedule your appointment, please call our Call Center at 773-878-6888.
Community screenings
Our goal is to achieve a cancer-free community for the neighborhoods served by Swedish Covenant Hospital. To support this goal, we regularly offer convenient public health screenings—either free or at a reduced rate—for various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, colorectal, uterine, skin and lung. Lectures often accompany these screenings, to provide the community with the education and support necessary to aid prevention.
Diagnostic Services
If a biopsy is deemed necessary, patients at Swedish Covenant Hospital will receive the least invasive, most rapid test possible. We offer:
Sentinel node biopsy, which can quickly determine the stage of cancer by identifying the first node affected.
Ultrasound-guided biopsy, a minimally invasive technique for obtaining tissue for examination.
Stereotactic biopsy, which uses mammography to guide the radiologist to the suspicious site within the breast so tissue extraction can be minimal and precise.
Bone marrow aspiration, in which bone marrow is removed and analyzed to diagnose cancer or determine if it has metastasized.
Transvaginal ultrasound, a method of imaging the genital tract and pelvic structure to determine the presence of abnormalities that could indicate cancer. The test uses an ultrasound machine that emits high-frequency sound waves to create a superior image compared to traditional procedures.
As part of the hospital's ongoing commitment to building partnerships that enhance treatment and care opportunities, Swedish Covenant Hospital has begun a cancer affiliation with Rush University Medical Center.
Under the guidance of Site Leader Jeffrey Cilley, M.D., the affiliation targets Swedish Covenant Hospital's cancer programs with the goal of improving the quality of services available to our patients, our community and our neighbors. The new relationship will strengthen our ability to help patients who are tackling an array of cancer types, including breast, colon, lung, liver and prostate cancer.
The affiliation provides patients with a host of service and treatment enhancements. These include:
Increased access to care for patients at both hospital sites
Enhanced surgical services, radiation therapy, imaging and specialty care
New research opportunities
Increased opportunities for medical students and residents
Lifestyle enhancement for cancer patients through the use of the Galter LifeCenter
Breast Cancer
The Breast Health Program at Swedish Covenant Hospital is a comprehensive program that focuses on all aspects of breast health, from screening to diagnosis. The program's uniqueness derives from taking care of the whole person, not just the illness. The multidisciplinary team at Swedish Covenant Hospital, including primary care physicians and OB/GYNs, works together to consider the interactions of all activities—including exercise and diet, screenings and prevention.
To make a mammography appointment, please call 773-878-6888
. Unlike other leading hospitals where appointments can take months, we adjust our schedules to allow patients to be seen within seven days. If your primary care physician is not affiliated with Swedish Covenant Hospital, you can still schedule your mammogram with us. Your results will be faxed to your physician.

Breast Health Program Donors
Swedish Covenant Hospital's Cancer Center is affiliated with both local and national organizations that work to provide excellent care to cancer patients in the Chicago area. The Breast Health program at SCH is generously supported by grants and donations from numerous foundations and individuals. We wish to thank all of our donors, but especially the following:
Swedish Covenant Hospital Foundation
Swedish Covenant Hospital Associates Board
A Silver Lining Foundation
National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
Susan G. Komen For The Cure
Swedish Covenant Hospital's Women's Board
Colon Cancer
The best way to stop colon cancer before it starts is by removing polyps that can grow in the lining of the colon and rectum. These growths typically do not produce symptoms, which is why early and regular testing is crucial to preventing this second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.
Screening Is Essential
Below are the four ways to be screened for colorectal cancer and recommendations for when and how often the tests should be performed. Keep in mind that regular testing should begin at age 50.
• Stool Blood Test: This very simple method tests a sample of the patient's stool for traces of blood that can't ordinarily be seen. Blood in the stool doesn't always mean cancer, but it does suggest more tests be given. This test is recommended once a year.
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy: Using a flexible scope, the physician can see directly inside a portion of the colon. This procedure should be done ever five years along with a stool blood test.
• Barium enema: Combining barium and air enables the physician to spot contrasts in the lining of the colon. Abnormal areas may indicate cancer. This procedure is recommended once every five years.
• Colonoscopy: Similar to a flexible sigmoidoscopy, this procedure uses a scope to view the entire colon and remove polyps. This test should occur once every 10 years.
Colorectal cancer is usually curable when detected early. In fact, more than 90% of patients with localized colorectal cancer confined to the colon and rectum live for at least five years after the diagnosis.
Prostate Cancer
Swedish Covenant Hospital is fully committed to treating prostate cancer and sponsors free screenings and lectures to prevent and detect this second most common form of cancer in men and the third leading cause of cancer deaths (according to Altruis Biomedical Network).
Following a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer-prevention incorporates basic healthy habits: eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, reducing alcohol intake and not smoking.
Preventing prostate cancer also emphasizes restricting daily caloric intake with consideration to activity level and body mass. Early identification remains the best way to combat prostate cancer.
Screening Is Essential
The American Cancer Society recommends that annual prostate cancer screenings begin at age 50. This should include:
• Digital rectal exam (DRE)
• Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test
Men in high risk groups, such as African American men or men who have a close family history of prostate cancer, should begin screenings at age 45. It is also recommended that men age 45 have a baseline PSA.
Swedish Covenant Hospital frequently sponsors free prostate cancer screenings and lectures, particularly during September, Prostate Awareness Month. The urologists on staff donate their time to perform these screenings, discuss results and give prostate-prevention lectures.
Please refer to Events and Classes for any upcoming screenings we have available.

Why Matt Martin's Hits Record is Significant
During today's Bruins game, Islanders forward Matt Martin set a record for hits in a single season by recording his 357th hit of the year and finished the day with 360. That's a nice accomplishment for Martin and some bigger blogs that cover the entire league took notice, most notably Adam Gretz at CBS and Harrison Mooney at Puck Daddy. It's nice to see the Islanders have something positive written about them by outlets that cover the entire league, especially on a day when they got doubled up by the Bruins, 6-3. Both pieces also addressed the validity of the statistic itself, since hits is a subjective statistic and can be prone to some home-grown bias.
"He's a standout checker on a team that doesn't really play all that tough," Mooney wrote. "The stat may indeed be tainted, but this accomplishment deserves at least a mention."
For what it's worth, Gretz was less impressed: "Martin is clearly a physical player and seems to be a guy that the Islanders like, but other than being a potential negotiating point come contract time (he led the league in … something) this is probably the least significant record that could fall during the course of a season."
I'll admit the stat itself is a bit wonky and not exactly the most important stat to lead in. But Martin's role on the team is certainly important and everyone who watches this team on a consistent basis clearly understands his value. But for me it's not so much that Martin has accomplished setting a record — it's how he's has gone about it.
To explain, let's go back to last season. Things were getting hairy and the Islanders had a night at the fights prompting many folks around the league to hem and haw, wagging their finger at those no good Islanders and one of the people in their crosshairs was Martin. In that infamous game, Martin tried to exact revenge on Max Talbot for Talbot's shot at Blake Comeau earlier in the year. Martin came after Talbot from behind — not in a Todd Bertuzzi kind of way — but in a way that elicited reactions such as these from the aghast media:
Not blaming Islanders for revenging DP… but Matt Martin sucker-punching Max Talbot reminds me of Bertuzzi-Moore a bit… Yikes
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) February 12, 2011
Gillies, Haley, Martin – where do the Islanders dig up these thugs? Not one of them could score 10 goals in a full ECHL season.
— Damien Cox (@DamoSpin) February 14, 2011
Alright, so Cox is just a professional troll but the point is that all of a sudden the Islanders were thugs, criminals or worse. Right in the center of it was Martin, ready to be the next SportsCenter highlight of hockey's bad boys who are only out for some kind of primitive blood lust. Martin received a four-game suspension for his actions and used his first time offender card, which lets players off a bit more leniently.
And what's he done since then?
Hit 360 players and not have any serious dust up or suspension. In fact, there was this moment on Thursday night that showed Martin actually going out of his way to protect an opposing player from one such hit.
For all the attention that hits to the head get around the NHL these days, Matt Martin is leading the league in hits and is not in that conversation. Whether or not the record has serious significance due to the obvious shortcomings of how the statistic is kept is certainly debatable. What is not is that Martin has delivered 360 "hits" without drawing the eye of NHL Disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan.
There are players that know how to hit and have an impact in the game without injuring their opponents and there are those that don't. Put Martin at the top of the list of guys doing it the right way.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Your dollars now buy more — outside of the U.S., that is.
The U.S. dollar is building strength against ailing rival benchmark currencies including the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. The gain reflects improvement in the U.S. economy, a sea-change in Japan's economic plan, and overall weakness in Europe that goes deeper than the recent Cyprus crisis.
As a result, dollar-based investors have some new ways to pad their wallets. Here are a few timely strategies to consider, using inexpensive, index-tracking exchange-traded funds:
1. Bank on the dollar
The U.S. dollar index DXY, -0.43% is up more than 3% so far this year. That's a healthy gain in just a few months, but don't give the currency full credit.
"It's not that the dollar has been particularly strong," said John Kicklighter, chief strategist at DailyFx.com. "The dollar has been advancing specifically because its alternatives have been doing worse — much worse."
Kicklighter predicts the dollar will maintain an advantage through this year against the euro EURUSD, +0.7182% the yen USDJPY, +0.26% and perhaps the Canadian dollar USDCAD, -0.5455%
Why copper's predictive role is tarnished
Copper is usually a good indicator for economic trends and equity markets. MarketWatch's Jim Jelter explains why that has changed. (Photo: AP)
Underpinning this view is his belief that both the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank will embrace easy-money policies to stimulate their economies, weakening their respective currencies. Meanwhile, analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch see the euro at 1.25 by the end of 2013, down substantially from around 1.30 currently.
Kiron Sarkar, a London-based investment adviser to wealthy families, is pounding the table for the dollar because of its role as a safe haven. Sarkar expects China's economic engine to slow significantly and the euro-zone's fortunes to slump further, fueling U.S. dollar demand. Read more: 10 cheap global markets for investors who can handle the risk.
The mainstream ETF to play dollar strength is PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund UUP, -0.48% This portfolio pits the greenback against six foreign currencies: the euro; British pound; yen; Canadian dollar; Swiss franc USDCHF, -0.4347% and Swedish krona.
Currency ETFs are not essential portfolio holdings, but can be used to offset the toll an appreciating U.S. dollar takes on non-dollar investments, or to speculate on the strength or weakness of a particular monetary unit. And keep in mind that currency funds aren't geared to long-term holding, given the volatile nature of the foreign exchange markets.
2. Put cash into high-quality U.S. stocks
The strong dollar cuts the U.S. economy two ways. U.S. exporters have a tougher time competing on price in global markets, while U.S. importers and companies with primarily domestic business reap a benefit.
Companies with the highest foreign exposure are in the technology and materials sectors. U.S. multinationals with international operations and business across faster-growing emerging markets certainly have tools to handle currency risk; nonetheless many companies likely will experience pressure on profit margins from the stronger dollar.

Well they are only letting 1,500 people into the server now so... dam
Some things I don't understand that I was wondering if any of you have the answer to.
Why is dashing so much slower then other versions?
Any idea when they will release the rest of the weapons, starter ones that are up now kinda suck; otherwise just stockpile gold till then.
These dummies should have expected larger volumes of players. Gunz2 has soo much hype right now. Lol 1500 players at a time?
Status Update
February 18 - MAIET Games
Hello everyone,
We're experiencing several issues at the moment.
Currently known issues are:
- Lag issue
- frame lag on game lobby and title screen
- match not starting promptly (FIXED)
Due to unexpected number of players that came in right at the launch hour, we had to increase SEVER CAPACITY.
However, our current server set-up could not serve all 4,000 players at once.
Thus, we decided to decrease server capacity (Max player limit) again to provide smooth game play for limited number of players for now.
The game server can host up to 1,500 players at the moment.
It's not like this is unexpected. If you played the original GunZ when the international server came out they did the same thing.
I got the beta for this a long time ago I did not enjoy it at all. The original was fun and arcady this one just felt bad to me but I wish you all well hope you enjoy it imo titanfall is a much better new shooter option if shooters are your thing.

She unveiled a plaque in the Business Lounge to mark the completion of the 2-year project, and was presented with a posy of flowers by Mrs Patricia McDonagh who has worked at the Airport for over 25 years.
Accompanied by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty also heard plans by the airport to invest further in a range of essential facilities over the course of the next five years. The privately funded Terminal project involves a major re-configuration of "airside" and "landside" facilities. The work, which was undertaken by local contractors, Russell Simpson Construction, sees the creation of a more spacious and modern Terminal for both passenger and staff alike. Greater use is made of natural light and much-needed space is created for new commercial outlets which now number 18. All of the work was undertaken in sections and was completed without any disruption to passengers. The "landside" work involved shortening the passenger journey from the Check-in Hall through to the security screening area. Beyond the new security area, "airside" floorspace has been greatly expanded to meet passenger demand. Welcoming the Royal visitors, Belfast International Airport Managing Director, John Doran, reminded them this was the 47th anniversary of the re-opening of Aldergrove as a civil airport and the inauguration of the Terminal building by Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Mr Doran said: "This is indeed an auspicious day for Belfast International Airport, and, speaking on behalf of the management and staff, may I say that I am delighted that you have been able to join us this afternoon to celebrate the completion of a major investment in the infrastructure of the Airport.
Today we recognise the achievement of an important milestone in the development of the Airport as the key round-the-clock gateway to Northern Ireland, enhancing our ability to sustain employment and support the economic progress of the region
These works are a major vote of confidence by our shareholders and owners, the Abertis Corporation, and, in so doing, they have demonstrated their commitment to Northern Ireland. Despite the challenging economic times that we face as a region, we and our shareholders continue to see the sense of investing for the future.
This level of investment is a hugely positive signal to the several hundred businesses and over four thousand people who depend on the airport for their livelihood, and,
Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I am extremely pleased that in the course of your visit, you have had the opportunity to meet a number of representative groups of airport staff, who, after all, are the people who ensure that the doors remain open for users and the runways remain open for aircraft 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a major business in this region, we are only as good as the people who support us. It really is a team effort."

China: Supreme People's Court Issues Provisions to Aid Interpretation of Internet Copyright Infringement
To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Apr 25, 2012) On April 22, 2012, China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) issued draft provisions for public consultation, available on its website, concerning Internet copyright infringement. The 20-article provisions provide a judicial interpretation of what constitutes such infringement. (Public Consultation on Proposed Internet Copyright Infringement Regulations, CHINA DAILY (Apr. 22, 2012).)
Among other measures, the SPC Provisions on Certain Questions Concerning the Law Applicable to Hearing Cases of Civil Disputes on Infringement of Information Networks' Right to Disseminate Information (Draft for Public Consultation) stipulate that:
- Internet users and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that provide online access to literary, performance, audio, or video content without the permission of the copyright holders will be held civilly liable for infringement of copyright (art. 3 ¶ 1);
- the courts should deem that acts of unauthorized "providing of access" include uploads to the Internet server or the use of other means that place literary, performance, or audio-visual content on a public, open information network, making it possible for the general public to download, view, or otherwise obtain the content (art. 3 ¶ 2);
- the courts should also deem as constituting acts of unauthorized provision of access the supplying of links or search engine services that enable the public to download the various types of aforementioned content, except where the acts do not affect the normal use of or do not unreasonably harm the holder's lawful rights and interests vis-a-vis the content and the ISP claims reasonable use of the content (art. 5); and
- where Internet companies voluntarily censor their material and take steps to prevent Internet copyright infringement caused by Internet users, the courts may take this into account in exculpating an ISP from fault (art. 9). (Supreme People's Court, for a Judicial Interpretation of Internet Copyright Protection, Openly Seeks Opinions from All Walks of Life [in Chinese] [hereinafter Draft Provisions], The Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China website (Apr. 22, 2012), http://www.court.gov.cn/xwzx/fyxw/zgrmfyxw/201204/t20120422_176202.htm [includes the text of the draft provisions]; Public Consultation on Proposed Internet Copyright Infringement Regulations, supra.)
The draft provisions also list seven factors that a court may take into account in determining whether or not an ISP knew or should have known that a user had violated another person's right to disseminate information on the Internet, based on the circumstances of the case, the nature and form of the services provided by the ISP, and the possible extent of the resulting infringement. Among these are the ISP's capacity to manage information; the type and repute of the content disseminated and the manifest extent of the infringing information; the circumstances of direct benefits derived by the ISP from disseminating the literary, performance, or audio-visual works; and whether or not the ISP took the initiative in carrying out the selection, compilation, revision, recommendation, etc., of such works. (Draft Provisions, art. 8.)
Other provisions set forth the situations in which the court may determine, based on the circumstances of the case, that an information storage service ISP should have known that the content provided by an Internet user was infringing copyright, as well as the situations in which, if an information storage service ISP changes the conditions of user-provided content, the court will not deem the ISP to be at fault. (Id. arts. 12 & 13).
The draft provisions come in the wake of a 2011 scandal involving the giant Chinese search engine Baidu, in which more than 40 Chinese writers claimed Baidu had "stolen" their work "by publishing it online, and offering free downloads as part of its free literary database Wenku." (Public Consultation on Proposed Internet Copyright Infringement Regulations, supra.) At first, Baidu said the works had initially been uploaded by Internet users, but it subsequently issued an apology to the authors, took out almost three million items from its document-sharing services section, and promised improved copyright protection measures.

22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a genetic disorder that can cause heart defects, facial abnormalities, and developmental and learning disabilities. The severity of the disorder can vary widely among people. This study will analyze DNA from people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome to identify genetic variations that may affect the severity of the disorder.

|Genetic Modifiers of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
Blood and saliva samples
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2000
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2011
22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a disorder caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22. Most people with this disorder are missing a sequence of about 3 million DNA building blocks on chromosome 22 within each cell. This disorder affects many areas of the body. People with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome may have heart defects, immune deficiency, kidney abnormalities, hearing loss, and cleft palate or other facial deformities. Many children experience developmental delays and learning disabilities, and they have an increased risk of developing mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. All people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are missing the same sequence of DNA, but the severity of this disorder varies widely; some people are diagnosed with multiple health and developmental problems, while others experience very few symptoms. In some people, the symptoms may be so minimal that they are not even aware they have 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. This study will examine genetic material—either from blood or saliva—among people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Participants will attend one study visit and undergo either blood or saliva collection. By analyzing the DNA sequences of participants, the study will aim to identify any genetic variations that may affect the severity of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

Panic-stricken bank depositors in Cyprus emptied ATM machines across the nation after the surprise announcement Saturday that, as part of an extremely controversial European Union and International Monetary Fund bailout deal, authorities would seize up to 15 percent of all savings deposited in Cypriot banks. Markets across Europe plunged as fears of contagion or even a large-scale bank run in the region plagued investors, with the single euro currency falling to multi-month lows and gold rising back above $1,600 following news of the $13 billion scheme.
Critics ranging from banks and market analysts to politicians and even establishment media outlets lambasted the EU and IMF plan, saying it creates uncertainty and amounts to brazen wealth confiscation. Citizens and foreigners with money deposited in Cyprus, meanwhile, expressed outrage over the controversial scheme as well, demanding that it be halted immediately. Aside from Cypriots, Russians and Britons are expected to be among the hardest hit.
Despite imposing a $500 limit on withdrawals and a ban on online transfers, most ATM machines in Cyprus were completely drained of funds over the weekend as nervous depositors lined up to save what they could before the confiscation begins. March 18 is a national holiday, meaning financial institutions are closed. However, banks in Cyprus may also face an extended so-called "banking holiday" as national politicians iron out the details of the supposed one-time "stability" tax with EU and IMF policymakers.
The original EU-IMF plan would see accounts with less than $130,000 taxed at almost seven percent, while those above that threshold would have 10 percent confiscated by authorities. Anyone with more than 500,000 euros could lose 15 percent. However, some reports indicate that the initial EU-IMF plan called for seizing up to 40 percent of all savings.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The author presented an exhaustive review of the literature on the efficacy of bevacizumab for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. There is little doubt that this compound is effective in this disease, and the data presented support the author's conclusions that bevacizumab should be considered first line therapy. Future studies will add this compound earlier in the process as adjuvant therapy following resection of stage II and III colon cancer. This drug is also being studied with preoperative chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.
Another compound, cetuximab, which is a monoclonal antibody which blocks EGFR and disrupts cell cycle progression and tumor growth, has shown efficacy as therapy for colorectal cancer. A proposed intergroup trial seeks to randomize patients to FOLFOX or FOLFIRI with either bevacizumab, cetuximab, or both bevacizumab and cetuximab. The results of this study will be very interesting to GI oncologists. For a very long period of time, the only drug for colorectal cancer was 5FU, and now patients and physicians have access to a myriad of chemotherapeutics and targeted therapies in seemingly endless combinations. The physicians, scientists, and drug developers responsible for these new agents should be commended for their continued efforts which have already made a significant difference in the lives of many of these patients.

After years of false claims and obstruction that are wreaking havoc on hard working families in our community and revenues for the county and school district, it's time to bring attention to some very important points about the Nine Mile Coalition.
Pam Miller, with the Nine Mile Coalition, has, while under the employ of our local college, been working to be quoted in almost everything that is reported in the news about the drilling operations in the canyon. She seems to be the "go to gal" for the press with her consistently negative slant she continually puts on things the gas and oil industry does to improve the wonderful resource we call the West Tavaputs. Even with the programmatic agreement that was signed by half a dozen different interest groups last week, Mrs. Miller's pessimism and provocation continued.
She and her group are now the self-anointed "watcher" in the canyon. They sure aren't doers though.
I am curious to know how much money the Nine Mile Coalition has raised so that other individuals can enjoy the resources the canyon has to offer all of us. Mrs. Miller, the Nine Mile Coalition, and their sue-happy SUWA partners act like what the gas industry does is criminal, when in fact industry is the one putting their money where their mouths are. Thanks to industry you can actually get to the Great Hunt Panel, in a reasonable amount of time, without a 4x4 vehicle, two spare tires and emergency rations. And when you get there you can actually enjoy and study the panel without having to worry about being run over or choking on dust. Not a single one of these improvements come courtesy of the "watchers."
Is the Nine Mile Coalition also "watching" the families whose fathers and husbands are out of work because of their selfish actions? While many of their families enjoyed Christmas, some paid for by us taxpayers that support the college and from the funds generated by taxes and royalties from industry to the state and federal governments, I personally know of families who were not only unable to provide Christmas but are losing their homes as a direct result of these organization's actions.
The companies operating on the West Tavaputs are not only operating responsibly, there are many who believe that operations in Nine Mile should be used as the standard that other companies should be striving to achieve. The BLM is holding industry to a high standard while balancing multiple use that, as the BLM mission states, includes development and production.
You say, when the cameras are rolling, that you are in favor of multiple use, yet follow up your stance by exaggerating claims such as "1,000 trucks a day" to instill fear. Yet the West Tavaputs EIS drags on and on.
I believe that half hearted options offered by your side are simply stall tactics. While so many people that live right in your community suffer, I would like to challenge your group, publicly, to step up and tell us what an acceptable solution is in the West Tavaputs area. Oh, and by the way, if you didn't hear it the first dozen times, an alternate route would cost tens of millions, disturb thousands of acres of habitat and artifacts, and double or triple the length of trips to the plateau. In other words, it doesn't work, not that facts matter to those like you who luxuriate in abstraction and obstruction while in the ivory towers of academia and environmental euphoria.
It's time to account for how you are spending our money to the detriment of our future.

Softball Posts Doubleheader Split at Missouri State
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Creighton softball team split a Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) doubleheader against Missouri State Sunday afternoon as the Bluejays won the opener 3-1 before falling 10-5 in game two at the Bears' Killian Stadium.
Creighton (27-14, 13-4 MVC) maintained its first-place standing in the Valley heading into the final week of conference play. The Bluejays lead second-place Illinois State by 1.5 games and third-place Drake by two. The Jays visit the Bulldogs for a doubleheader on Tuesday in Des Moines.
Missouri State (19-27, 10-11 MVC) and the Bluejays each posted 13 hits but the Bears plated 11 runs to just eight for CU. The Creighton pitching staff only allowed three earned runs on the day but seven Bluejay errors came back to haunt CU - including six miscues in game two alone.
Freshman Blake Ringle led the Bluejays at the plate with three hits and a trio of RBI in six at-bats including a home run to give Creighton an early lead in game two. Sophomore Liz Dike posted three hits and scored a pair of runs.
Junior Becca Changstrom started in the circle for Creighton while the Jays' batters went up against Chelsea Jones.
Missouri State opened the scoring in the bottom of the first frame. After a leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt, a CU throwing error with two outs allowed a run to score to give the Bears an early 1-0 edge.
Neither team scored over the next four innings until Creighton knotted the game in the top of the sixth. An MSU error allowed Dike to reach first base with one out. She later stole second before Ringle ripped an RBI single up the middle to score the run from second and tie the game at 1-1.
MSU threatened in the bottom of the sixth, loading the bases with two outs, but junior Ellen Homan made a spectacular running and tumbling grab in shallow left field to close out the inning and keep the score tied.
Creighton took its first lead of the game in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Bri Lingl was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Freshman Erin McGonigal came into the game as a pinch runner. Junior Blair Lowe utilized a bunt single to put two on with no outs. A sacrifice bunt from Homan moved up both runners to scoring position.
Freshman Kelsey Allender reached on a fielder's choice as MSU could not make a play at the plate to stop the run from scoring. Allender's RBI put Creighton in front for good at 2-1. Senior Ashley Frutos followed with a fielder's choice of her own to score another run as Lowe scored ahead of the Bears' play at the plate to make it 3-1 Bluejays.
CU retired the Bears in order in the bottom of the seventh to secure the victory.
Changstrom earned the complete-game win to improve 20-7 with nine strikeouts and without yielding an earned run. Noteworthy, Changstrom passed MSU head coach - and former Bluejay hurler - Holly Hesse on the CU all-time career wins list with the victory over the Bears. MSU's starter Jones fell to 11-18 on the year after the loss.
Junior Alexis Cantu started the second game for Creighton while Rachel Brisker got the nod for Missouri State. Neither starter would make it past three innings as game two became a high-scoring affair early on. Both teams scored in each of the first three innings resulting in 11 total runs heading into the fourth frame.
Creighton got on the board first. Dike notched a leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt by Lowe moved her to second. With two outs on the board Ringle stepped into the batter's box and belted her seventh homer of the season over the left field wall to give Creighton an early 2-0 edge.
Three Bluejay errors in the bottom of the first helped Missouri State get right back into the contest. A one-out single, an error and a fielder's choice scored an unearned run. Another error loaded the bases for MSU with one down. A two-RBI single to center scored a pair of runs before CU could get out of the inning.
Down 3-2, the Jays tied it again in the top of the second. Back-to-back singles by Homan and Allender started the rally with one out. Freshman Kim Jacobson drew a walk to load the bases. That sent Brisker to the dugout as Jones returned to the circle for MSU after one inning of rest.
A single from Dike scored Homan from third to make it 3-3. But two CU fly outs left helped Jones and MSU out of a bases-loaded jam to close out the inning.
Missouri State moved ahead in the bottom of the frame. The Bears recorded two singles in three at-bats to open the inning to put runners on the corners with one out. A fielder's choice on a sacrifice bunt forced a squeeze play at the plate as MSU plated its fourth run of the game.
Creighton tied the game again in the top of the third frame. Ringle led off the inning with a single to left field. Cantu was hit by a pitch to put two runners on. A sacrifice bunt by Lingl moved the runners up. A groundout from Homan allowed a run to score to knot the contest at 4-4 heading to the bottom of the inning.
MSU broke the tie again with three runs in the bottom of the third. A leadoff single and sacrifice bunt put a runner in scoring position. An infield single put runners on the corners with no outs. A pinch-hit single scored two runs to put MSU up 6-4 and chase Cantu out of the game.
Junior Brittany Telecky entered the game for Creighton in relief.
The MSU bats kept rolling with another infield single as a CU error allowed a third run to score to give MSU a 7-4 advantage after three.
After a scoreless fourth, Creighton got one run back in the top of the fifth. Senior Amy Baker led off the inning with a single up the middle. McGonigal came into the game as a pinch runner, moving to third after a pair of ground outs. An infield single from Lingl scored the Jays' final run of the contest to cut the Bears' lead to 7-5.
MSU added three runs in the bottom of the fifth. A CU error and an MSU single put two on with one out. After a second out, a walk loaded the bases. A hit-by-pitch plated a run for Missouri State, leaving the bases loaded with two down. Another Creighton error allowed two more runs to score to yield the final result of 10-5.
Cantu suffered the loss to drop to 6-6 on the year. Jones earned a win to even her record on the day and improve to 12-18 overall.
Creighton completes its regular-season road schedule at Drake on Tuesday with a doubleheader slated for 4 p.m. CT in Des Moines.

The Region 8 softball season has whizzed by and the Dinos are left with two games on their schedule and a 0-6 record.
During the preseason, the future looked bright for the Dinos as they claimed eight victories. As the season got underway however, the Dino team found themselves committing too many errors which eventually lead to many of the teams season losses.
Errors was the deciding factor in the last game the Dinos competed in.
Last Thursday, the Carbon team hosted North Sanpete. During this game, the Dinos committed eight errors in the sixth inning alone. These mistakes cost the team a Region 8 victory as they fell to the Hawks, 12-4.
Up to this point in the ball game, Carbon had held on to stay in the game and had a strong chance of capturing their first season win. That was until the error problem came about.
North Sanpete capitalized on Carbon's mistakes and scored seven runs in the sixth. This would break the 4-4 tie which was posted on the scoreboard when the inning began.
The Dinos will conclude the Region 8 season this week as the team travels to Delta on Tuesday and on Wednesday, the team will return home to host Grand.

Motor vehicle crashes continue to kill more teens ages 15-19 in Utah than any other cause.
In 2007, 40 teenagers were killed on Utah roads. Today, many of the victim's families shared their stories to send a message to other teens to drive safely.
"Those killed were more than just a statistic," said Kevin Condra, spokesperson for the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) Violence and Injury Prevention Program. "These teens could have been anyone's child, brother, sister or friend. They represent dreams lost and lives shattered when such tragic, and most often preventable, events occur."
A collection of 15 stories from families who lost a son or daughter were put into a booklet that will be used by the UDOH and other agencies involved in the Utah Teen Traffic Safety Task Force. It is the parents' hope that their pain-filled stories will help all drivers realize the impact their driving decisions have on others. They also shared their stories at a news conference held today in Salt Lake City.
Kristie, the parent of a happy-go-lucky 18-year-old told how her son, Kyle was involved in a fatal car crash. It was 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2007 when Kristie and her husband told their children goodnight and "I love you." Unknown to Kristie, Kyle had decided to take the car for a quick ride. Less than a half-hour later, he was dead. "Kyle didn't have much driving experience. He was speeding when he hit a patch of black ice on the road and lost control of the car," said Kristie. The vehicle slammed into a telephone pole, killing him on impact. He was less than a mile from home.
"Parents and teens need to know there is nothing more important than safety," said Kristie. "You just never know what will happen."
Thirty-four of the 40 teens killed in 2007 were either a driver or passenger in a car. Four died in motorcycle crashes and two were pedestrians. And it wasn't just younger, less-experienced drivers who were killed. Teens ages 18-19 (62 percent) were involved in the most fatal crashes in 2007 when compared to younger teens.
"Safe driving doesn't stop when you get your driver's license," said Condra. "Talk to your teens about wearing their seat belts, following traffic laws, and using good judgment when they are in and around motor vehicles."
Sixty percent of the deaths involved a single car and 61 percent had two or more passengers in the vehicle. Thirty-eight percent of the crashes occurred between midnight and 4 a.m. and approximately 55 percent of the fatalities occurred during the weekend hours of 5 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. More than half (54 percent) of the victims were not wearing a seat belt.
These tragedies could have been prevented by making safe driving decisions. UDOH urges parents of teenage drivers to:
â¢Establish safe driving rules with consequences. Rules should address seat belt use, distracted driving, speeding, cell phone and/text messaging use, and practicing good judgment. Remind older teens to avoid these hazards and to drive safely.
â¢Always wear a seat belt and be firm in making passengers do the same.
â¢Always wear a helmet when driving or riding on a motorcycle.
â¢Limit the number of passengers allowed in a vehicle with a teenage driver.
â¢Avoid driving between midnight and 5 a.m.
For more teen driving safety tips or to download a copy of the families' stories in the "Zero Fatalities: Fifteen reasons why Zero is the only acceptable number" booklet, visit www.health.utah.gov/vipp.

The Mental Health Association in Jefferson County will have a new start just in time for the new year.
Executive Director Korin A. Scheible said the agency will relocate from 724 State St. to 425 Washington St. just before Christmas. The move will better accommodate the agencys needs, as it recently restructured some programming and positions, she said.
The layout is better; its more functional, Ms. Scheible said. Its actually a smaller space, but I think itll be a more home-like environment.
The agency moved into its State Street office, which formerly housed Cleveland Funeral Home, in November 2003. Ms. Scheible said the agency has to be out of its current 6,500-square-foot space, and a few apartments, by Dec. 23, and will then have a new home at the nearly 5,500-square-foot Washington Street building, formerly owned by Hospice of Jefferson County.
Rent at the State Street site is about $5,000 per month, she said, but utilities soon were going to be charged separately. Ms. Scheible said the agency will commit to a 10-year lease, and pay about $7,000 per month for rent, utilities and property maintenance of 425 Washington St. and four apartments in one of a few buildings managed by Washington Street Properties LLC. Company owner Brian H. Murray said while an agreement is finalized for the Washington Street site, it is undecided which apartment building will accommodate the Mental Health Associations respite program.
Theyve allowed us to delay our down payment, and free rent for a few months to help us absorb costs of moving, Ms. Scheible said.
Mr. Murray said Washington Street Properties also will work with the agency on a plan to complete any necessary improvements to the property.
Part of why its a great fit for them is its ready to go, he said. We already completed a lot of upgrades.
He said there was a lot of interest in the property, but the Mental Health Association was one of a few organizations interested that wanted the entire building.
Meanwhile, Ms. Scheible said the agency has changed job titles for many staff members, so they can focus on a particular area, instead of wearing many hats.
This will allow each member to know exactly who to go to, to get continuous service through one person, she said. We are focusing on people and trying to prevent them from going into crisis.
Having one staff member to help each Mental Health Association client may help identify warning signs of a possible crisis, versus risking the chance of missing something if a client had to go to several people. Ms. Scheible said the agency sees upward of 50 people per day who seek help through the following programs: drop-in center for socialization; Bridges for skill building; Agape for helping members navigate court systems; HUD for helping members find permanent housing; respite that provides a place for clients to go if their relatives or a caretaker need a break; Vet center for peer-to-peer support for veterans, Food for Thought for providing low-cost meals; and advocates, who support all programs.
It was difficult to find something that could fit all programs, Ms. Scheible said.
The kitchen at 425 Washington St. is much smaller than the one at 724 State St., so Ms. Scheible said the agency hopes to partner with a church to use its kitchen when Food for Thought has catering orders.
Right now its very symbolic of us trying to revitalize and prepare for needs we anticipate happening with changes to the health care system, she said. Internally, were also reviving some programs.
The agencys telephone number will remain the same, at 788-6733.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Japanese and Chinese stocks ended lower Tuesday, unable to hang on to early gains, as euro-zone problems grabbed investor attention after Moody's downgrade of France's AAA rating and before a decision on financial aid for Greece.
South Korean and Australian shares, however, followed gains on Wall Street amid optimism the U.S. fiscal cliff will be averted.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +1.33% and South Korea's Kospi SEU, +0.68% each climbed 0.6%, while Taiwan's Taiex Y9999, -0.58% gained 0.2% after U.S. stocks scored their best session in more than two months. Read: U.S. stocks surge on hope for a debt deal.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index
retreated in afternoon trading to finish 0.2% lower, while China's Shanghai Composite Index
000001, +1.87%
fell 0.4% after a higher opening.
In Japan, the Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +1.64% slipped 0.1% to break out of a winning streak over the last four trading days on mild profit-taking.
The drop came in the wake of the Bank of Japan's decision to stand pat on its monetary policy. The move was widely expected, but analysts also forecast fresh easing moves in the coming months amid intense political pressure on the central bank. Read more on the Bank of Japan's policy decision.
"The pause will be short-lived. With an upcoming general election pushing political pressures through the roof and considerable uncertainty surrounding its baseline economic-recovery scenario, the [Bank of Japan] will likely move again in December," said Izumi Devalier, an economist at HSBC.
"Further deterioration of the country's economic outlook may also nudge the [Bank of Japan] towards more easing," Devalier added.
Major movers
Japan's biggest names in the tech and auto sectors — which had fueled much of Tokyo's recent advance — moved mostly lower during Tuesday's morning session.
Among the major exporters losing ground, Advantest Corp. 6857, +2.94% ADTTF, -24.77% fell 2.4%, Honda Motor Co. 7267, +4.05% HMC, +0.68% dropped 1%, and Mazda Motor Corp. 7261, +7.09% MZDAF, +10.44% retreated 1.7%.
Panasonic Corp. 6752, +3.76% US:PC gave up 3.8%, also suffering from a target-price cut by Deutsche Bank.
Nintendo Co. 7974, +2.64% NTDOF, -3.12% fell 2.6% as its recently launched Wii U videogame console received mixed reviews.
Outside of the tech sector, Daiwa Securities Group Inc. 8601, +0.95% DSECF, -13.15% dropped 1.4% after its shares hit a nine-month high Monday.
On the upside, Nippon Yusen K.K. 9101, +2.56% NYUKF, -8.28% rose 0.6%, while Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. 9104, +2.89% MSLOF, -9.66% jumped 3.6%, recovering further from a Moody's Investors Service debt downgrade earlier in the month.

As the Utah Legislature begins this week, lawmakers are aware the public is watching and it will be warned about bills and new laws that could infringe upon the public's right to know about their government.
Utah has one of the best laws in the country concerning the openness of government. But during the 2011 Legislature a bill that was proposed almost did away with that law. Luckily, the now-infamous HB 477 was brought down by a flood of public discourse.
HB 477 was introduced at literally the last minute of the 2011 legislative session, and it caught almost everyone unaware. So Utah's model open-records law nearly became a casualty two years ago. The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) almost became history and it would have closed off much of the public's access to a host of government records.
Once it was learned how bad the bill was for open government the news media quickly reported on the substance and significance of the bill, and in concert with the Utah Media Coalition, urged the public to protect their interests and have their voices heard. In their spirited response, the public clearly demonstrated support for government in sunlight. The outcry drove chastened lawmakers to repeal the law.
That activity by the Media Coalition, the Utah Press Association (which a member of the coalition), Utahns For Open Government and others showed that the best defense of open government is a strong watchdog media to monitor legislation and government activity throughout the state.
But the fight to preserve the rights of Utahns to know what is going on never ends. While no large bill to restrict information is on the horizon in this year's legislature, each year bills are introduced that could nick away at the law piece by piece. It is something that needs to be monitored, not only by the press but by the public as well.
To that end, the Utah Media Coalition announced on Friday that it will continue with its GRAMA WATCH that was used during last year's session to evaluate legislation in the area of public information. It is a process that is used to rank selective initiatives and government action for openness and accessibility and to inform the public and government representatives and officials about these rankings.
The Coalition endeavors to be useful to citizens and state officials by keeping both informed about how actions would or could affect the people's right to know how their government is conducting their business. In addition the coalition encourages the public to stay in touch with their representatives at all levels of government to voice opinions and concerns.
Again GRAMA WATCH notes will use a three-tiered scale to rate legislation. Bills receiving a "bright light" would enhance public access to government and are worthy of passage. Bills receiving a "pale light" are essentially neutral, neither increasing nor decreasing access to government information. Bills getting a "lights out" designation have been found to work against open government. GRAMA WATCH notes will be published in Utah newspapers and on the web site www.UtahsRight.com.
The WATCH will not rank every proposed bill or action, only those that in some way affect openness and access. In an annual report to the people, GRAMA WATCH will honor the most enlightened action with a Bright Shining Light Award and name a recipient for a Dim Bulb Award for the most obstructive action.
A team of specialists will keep and eye on bills that come to both the Senate and the House, and bills that warrant ratings will have notices sent to all media outlets concerning their content
The Sun Advocate will feature those ratings as they are released during the session to let the citizenry know about what is going on concerning their government.
The general session of the legislature started on Monday and will run through March 14.

Miller Selected Fifth Overall at MLS SuperDraft
PHILADELPHIA – Creighton men's soccer alumnus Eric Miller was selected fifth overall by the Montreal Impact at the 2014 Major League Soccer SuperDraft in Philadelphia Thursday.
Earlier this month, Miller signed a Generation adidas contract allowing the junior to enter the professional ranks. The defender is the third Creighton player to leave the program early and get selected in the MLS SuperDraft, joining Tyler Polak (2012) and Ross Paule (1997).
Miller Interview on MLS SuperDraft Stage
Miller joins five former Creighton players including current CU assistant coach Johnny Torres that have claimed first-round SuperDraft selections in school history. That quintet includes Torres (5th overall - 1998), Richard Mulrooney (3rd overall - 1999), Brian Mullan (9th overall - 2001), Ethan Finlay (10th overall - 2012) and Andrew Duran (15th overall - 2012).
Miller played every minute of the 2013 season for the Jays en route to claiming National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Great Lakes All-Region Second Team honors. The Woodbury, Minn. native scored three goals this season for Creighton, increasing his career total to four. Miller scored game-winning shots against Xavier and at Butler this season, the first of his career. He also assisted on a goal at William & Mary to finish the season with seven points for the Jays. Miller was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week twice during the season and also earned a spot on the conference's weekly honor roll.
In three years at Creighton, Miller played 63 matches and amassed 12 career points with four goals and four assists. In addition to NSCAA All-Region honors in 2013, he earned CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team and Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Scholar-Athlete laurels for work off the field in 2012. That year he claimed All-MVC First Team and All-Tournament Team honors after collecting MVC All-Freshman Team honors following the 2011 campaign.
Miller started in two NCAA College Cups during his stay in Omaha. He also spent time over the last two offseasons as a member of the United States Under-20 Men's National Team.
Creighton remains the only soccer program in the nation to have at least one player drafted (supplemental draft included) into MLS since the league began in 1996. With Miller's selection, 32 Bluejays have been drafted by MLS.

County water levels at the Scofield Reservoir currently register at around 42,000 acre feet according Ann O'Brien of the Price River Water Users, however, storage is down from June when the reservoir was at around 52,000 acre feet.
But the situation is no surprise to officials since higher temperatures have increased water demand.
In addition water has been going over the dam's spill way. And O'Brien attributes this to the increased drop in water, which has a diverse range of uses in Carbon County.
According to Jeff Richens, the majority of Price River water goes into agriculture.
But the Price River Water Improvement District representative indicated that a significant percentage also goes to the Carbon power plant north of Helper.
Water on the Price River is divided into shares. And Collectively, the Price River users owns the most at around 26,000. PRWID owing 3,200 and the power plant about 2,000 shares.
Although the breakdown of shares does not show who is currently using the most water, it indicates who has rights to the river.
The wet spring has also made for a higher silt content in the Price River and with the additional runoff volume, it has been difficult to purify.
According the Richens at the last PRWID meeting on July 21, about 3.5 million gallons of water per day are currently being treated.
During the same meeting, PRWID boardmembers discussed the upcoming elections. They voiced concerns about voter turnout and voting locations.
The primary issues concerning the elections included how to conduct a fair and accurate vote because PRWID elections typically have a small turnout of around 300 to 400 people.
The possibility of a mail in vote was presented at the PRWID board meeting.
But while a higher turnout could be reached through mail, the accuracy of such a vote came into question.
"How do you validate it?" asked boardmember Karl Housekeeper.
Aside from questions about the validation of a mail in vote, it was discovered mailing out ballots would cost the district about $4,000. Because of the problems with a mail in vote, the board was decided to conduct the water improvement district elections at the PRWID building, located at 265 South Fairgrounds Road.
