PROVIDENCE – Shea High veteran mentor Pierre Ridore explained how irritated he had been back on Tuesday afternoon after his squad, playing with little emotion or care, had surrendered a 1-0 defeat to struggling Central Falls.
"It was our first loss to Central Falls dating back to 2003; it was our Blackstone Valley Invitational (Tournament) game," he stated. "We hadn't lost to them in over a decade, and I told the kids that it shouldn't have happened, that they were playing too lazy."
What a difference a few days can make, especially after a lambasting from the coach who had expected a better overall effort from his troops.
Late Friday afternoon at Conley Stadium, the determined Raiders outplayed and outhustled Central for a complete 80 minutes, then eventually strolled to their team bus with a demonstrative 5-0 Division I triumph.
Sophomore forward Carlos Fernandes led the sterling effort with a hat trick and an assist, while senior forward Cecilio Nobre contributed two tallies and a feed and classmate/winger Kevin Andrade a pair of assists.
With the decision, Shea improved to 5-4-0 overall and 4-4-0 in D-I action, while the Knights – who had begun the day in fifth place behind Barrington, La Salle, North Kingstown and South Kingstown – fell to 4-2-3 in the league.
"I think that loss woke us up; I mean, it happened at our home, at Max Read Field," Ridore said after the win. "I think they decided, 'Hey, we've got to start playing up to our potential.' I hope that woke us up; this is the best game we've played all year. Central is really skilled and they can run, but our kids showed me a lot (on Friday).
"We just wanted it more," he added. "The ball movement was terrific, and we had good one-touch passing. They weren't playing kickball, absolutely not … I could kind of tell on the bus on the way here. Usually, when we're going on the road, the guys will be laughing and joking around, and I'll have to tell them to settle down and think about the task at hand.
"I didn't have to say a word (Friday). Everyone was focused and ready. We left the school at 3 (p.m.), and you could hear a pin drop. I think they wanted to win."
After an opening half where both teams battled around midfield, Ridore's bunch finally broke the ice with about a minute left before intermission; that's when Fernandes knocked home a feed from junior midfielder Kenneth Teye to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage.
It would prove to be the game clincher.
Just a few minutes into the final session, senior Hericles Tavares crushed a point-blank shot at Knights' senior keeper Yair Godinez, but he made an outstanding block. At the eight-minute mark, sophomore Sergio Lopes attacked the cage with an 18-yard rope, but Godinez made a superb lunging save.
He couldn't do it against Nobre in the 52nd minute, as he took a through pass from Fernandes, juked a pair of defenders with a couple of dribbles and fired a high liner over the goalie to make it 2-0.
Not long after, it looked as if the Knights would knife the deficit in half after sophomore Yorik Sajbin delivered a superb cross pass from the left to classmate Jhon Bastidas. The latter gained control in front of the net and rifled a low liner at Shea junior netminder Wilson Fernandes, though the try sailed just outside the right post.
Midway through the half, junior co-captain Frank Jajo stationed himself on the left and whistled a high, hard one at Fernandes, but it caromed off the crossbar.
In the interim, and after, the Shea defense – led by senior William Baah, Lopes, sophomores Camragha Namusse and Alvaro Garcia and senior Michael Lopes – marked the potential Central goal scorers with intensity and speed. That's why the hosts manufactured only five attempts throughout the contest.
When Carlos Fernandes scored on a breakaway in the 75th minute – one he drove just inside the left post after a stellar through pass from Nobre to make it 3-0 – the Knights seemed ready to accept the defeat.
The Raiders nevertheless kept coming, and sealed it with tallies by Carlos Fernandes (in the 79th minute) and Nobre (with just seconds remaining).
All told, Wilson Fernandes registered four saves, while Godinez closed with seven and sophomore back-up keeper Oscar Bassett – who came on with about 25 minutes left in the second half – three.
"I was most pleased with how aggressive we were," Ridore noted. "We didn't lay back, like we had done in more than a few games. We were hungry, and we wanted it more. I thought William (Baah) was great back there at sweeper. In fact, he's one of the best defenders in the state. He has a ton of speed, but he also was smart with the ball for all 80 minutes.
"There are times he'll play maybe 75 or 76 minutes at full speed, and that would get us into trouble. He had a complete, 100-percent defensive game, and I hope it continues – not just with him, but everyone. I've always known this was a good team, and they played like it here."

By GALE ANDERSONHuntington
I would like to applaud Wade Allinson on his letter (Letters to the editor, Sun Advocate, Feb. 17, 2009) about Mr. Groene and the efforts that he and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance are trying to pursue, this time, in a slightly different way.
I have always known that Wade has a true grasp on reality and what SUWA and their executioners are all about. Now maybe more people in the area do also.
Mr. Groene talks about a give and take process that we all have to participate in when it comes to our public lands. If any of the members of the Public Lands Council believes that there would be a fair process, I want to offer my opinion that they are wrong. It would be a matter of us giving and SUWA taking, thereby locking the land up.
Mr. Groene and SUWA have tremendous political power to help them. As someone that has made an occasional trip to our beautiful San Rafael, I have seen where they have even swayed the Bureau of Land Management in their direction of thinking.
If you don't believe this, then try to make a trip into the beautiful Junes Bottom on the Green River or the Muddy River Gorge where it cuts through the San Rafael Reef. It is locked up my friends. These and dozens of more places like them.
Ask yourself where the little bits of history of our fore fathers such as the bridge across Swasy's Leap, old mining cabins and others are going? I guess they don't fit in with the pristine areas.
Wade and others like him need to keep up the good work, the good watch and keep people informed.

PAWTUCKET — Citing what a difference a day makes, the city has filed an appeal in Superior Court of the decision of a police officers' disciplinary hearing committee that would allow convicted Pawtucket Police Officer Nichalas Laprade to keep his job.
The complaint, filed on Dec. 21, concerns the city's attempts to fire Laprade following his conviction in February of 2011 on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure/disorderly conduct. The officer, hired in 2007, has been suspended with pay since his arrest in November of 2010.
On Dec. 14, a majority of the three-member Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights hearing committee that was convened to consider Laprade's disciplinary case found the officer "not guilty" of the charges against him.
The reason given was that the city failed to submit any evidence or testimony to support the allegations against Laprade.
The reason behind the reason centered around a missed deadline of one day in which the city was to have presented a witness list and other information to be offered as evidence at the hearing to the law enforcement officer.
The city's attorney, Vincent F. Ragosta, Jr., is arguing that the hearing committee's "not guilty" decision was affected by a procedural error and an "abuse of discretion" on the part of the hearing committee, its chairman and Presiding Judge Alice B. Gibney by denying the city's requests for deadline extensions.
In its suit, the city is asking the Superior Court to reverse or modify part or all of the denials of its petitions and motions made in the case, and/or reverse or modify the hearing committee's decision finding Laprade not guilty.
The appeal documents outline the series of events which led to Laprade's not guilty verdict and the basis for the city's complaint. In May of 2011, the Pawtucket Police Department had charged Laprade with misconduct, including his misdemeanor conviction, and sought his termination.
On June 23, 2011, three officers were selected for the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights hearing committee to consider Laprade's case. They were Providence Police Officer Richard Ramirez (Laprade's designee), Pawtucket Police Major Bruce Moreau (the city's designee), and Providence Police Sergeant Arthur J. Lee (as the neutral party). Lee was also selected as the chairperson of the hearing committee.
By agreement of all parties, the hearing committee scheduled its first convening for July 20, 2011. The law enforcement Bill of Rights requires that not less than 10 days prior to the hearing date, the charging law enforcement agency provide to the law enforcement officer a list of all witnesses to be called to testify at the hearing along with related documents to be offered as evidence at the hearing.
The appeal notes that if July 20, 2011 was the date of the first Bill of Rights hearing, the city was to disclose to Laprade its witness and evidence list on or before July 10, 2011—which was a Sunday.
However, the appeal further notes that Moreau and Ragosta, the city's counsel, had scheduling conflicts and the city requested on July 12, 2011 that hearing committee chairperson Lee defer convening the hearing until after July 20, 2011. The appeal states that Lee initially agreed to the request, but changed his mind after Laprade's attorney, Joseph Penza objected.
According to the appeal, Lee told Moreau that Penza had raised a "potential procedural error" and said that changing the hearing date would impact his argument. However, the initial hearing date remaining intact meant that the city could not present any witnesses or evidence.
On July 14, 2011, after Lee denied the city's request on the date change, Moreau wrote to Judge Gibney asking for an extension to commence the hearing. He wrote that Lee's refusal to grant a request for a short extension reflects "evident partiality in favor of the officer," and that the net effect of this action "virtually insures that the city's case may die on purely procedural grounds."
On July 18, 2011, Judge Gibney denied the city's petition for an extension. She did require that the parties agree to a later "hearing" start date, but mandated that the first convening date nevertheless be considered for the hearing committee's purposes as July 20, 2011.
The appeal states that while Judge Gibney was "gracious" in requiring that the parties agree to a later date, it maintains that the presiding justice abused her discretion and otherwise erred in her action to deny the city's request.
While the parties agreed that the hearing committee would reconvene on July 22, 2011, the city renewed its request to continue the hearing. The hearing committee denied the city's request—an action which the appeal maintains was an abuse of its discretion and an error.
At the next hearing on Sept. 8, 2011, the city challenged whether the convening of the hearing committee on July 22, 2011 was a "hearing" as defined by the law enforcement Bill of Rights.
Also at the Sept. 8 meeting, Laprade objected to the city's attempt to call a witness, citing the city's alleged failure to comply with the Bill of Rights' disclosure requirements.
At a hearing held on Sept. 13, 2011, the hearing committee determined that the July 22, 2011 meeting was a hearing for the law enforcement Bill of Right's purposes, and excluded the city's witnesses and evidence.
The appeal contends that the hearing committee erred in determining that the convening of the hearing committee on July 22, 2011 constituted a "hearing" and in excluding the city's witnesses and evidence.
The appeal also notes that on and following the Sept. 13, 2011 hearing, the city requested that the hearing committee take notice of Laprade's conviction, that it issue Laprade a subpoena compelling him to be present for questioning by the hearing committee and/or the city, and that the city exercise its power to subpoena other witnesses. However, on Nov. 18, 2011, the hearing committee denied these requests by the city—an action which the appeal maintains is an error and an abuse of its discretion.
The appeal also asserts that the hearing committee's decision on Dec. 14, 2011 finding Laprade not guilty was, "among other things, affected by error of law and characterized by an abuse of discretion."

Andy Williams would have turned 85 today. We're remembering one of America's favorite crooners with some of his greatest tunes. Originally published September 2012.
Ronald Reagan once called Andy Williams "a national treasure" – and millions of fans agreed. The world lost that national treasure in September, when Williams died after struggling with bladder cancer for the past year.
Singer Andy Williams performs at the 93rd birthday and 88th year in show business gala salute to Milton Berle Sunday, July 22, 2001, in Beverly Hills, Calif. (AP Photo/John Hayes)
The crooner dazzled his fans on TV – they loved his TV specials and his Emmy Award-winning variety show The Andy Williams Show…
…On vinyl – of his 42 studio albums, 18 were certified gold, giving him the fourth highest number of gold albums, behind only Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and Elvis Presley…
…On stage – both around the world and at his Andy Williams Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri. Williams was the first non-country act to hit Branson, a bold move that was discouraged by friends back home. But Williams – and his theater – became a huge success there, prompting others from the pop music world to follow.
…And in our hearts. We'll never forget his unmistakable renditions of our favorite songs… especially his signature classic, "Moon River."

When I was in Kindergarten we put on a Circus show for our parents. I chose to be the tightrope walker. I can still remember the thrill of performing. I had a fascination for the idea of being able to walk and balance on that tiny rope with only a parasol to keep their balance. Years later I watched my daughters and their friends perform le cirque's Allegria in the backyard. We all love the magic of the circus
Today Is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting the event. If you stop by HERE you will find lots of pink posts to celebrate Pink Saturday.
Lisa Kettell from Faerie Enchantment has recently published a book called The Altered Art Circus. Inside she shares techniques for Journals, Paper Dolls, Art Cards and Assemblages. If you go to any book store or Lisa's blog you can purchase the book.
I was browsing the Barnes and Noble near me the other day, and squealed with delight when I saw the book.
I couldn't wait to come home and be inspired.
Lori from Faerie Window is also featured in the book along with some other lovely artisans. I love Lori's work and her creations are gorgeous.
So many pink treasures and designs to be found. Lisa is also hosting a swap and if you click HERE you can join in the circus fun.
After browsing the pages of The Altered Circus I was inspired to create The Tightrope Walker.
and then some cards...
I just added some Summer Breeze blank notecards to my shop.
I also created some journal pages which are hand-painted on lovely textured watercolor paper.
I hope you enjoyed the trip to the circus and that you take home some inspiration this Pink Saturday.
The song for this post is Allegria.

PROVIDENCE — A Pawtucket man who prosecutors say went on an arson spree to avenge a romantic relationship that turned sour has received a 40-year prison sentence with 17 years to serve.
Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin announced that Franci Villorio, 22, with a last known address of 27 Palm St., Pawtucket, was sentenced Thursday by Superior Court Justice Susan E. McGuirl to 40 years, with 17 to serve and the remainder suspended with probation, for multiple arsons in Central Falls and Providence. In addition, Villorio was ordered to have no contact with the victim, undergo mental health counseling, perform community service upon his release, and make restitution.
The sentence comes after Villorio pleaded no contest on April 15 to five counts of first-degree arson in arson in exchange for a capped sentence of 40 years with up to 20 years to serve.
According to the Office of Attorney General, had the case proceeded to trial, the state was prepared to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that on February 26, 2011 and again on March 4, 2011, Villorio set fire to a residence at 41 Hedley Ave. in Central Falls. The state was also prepared to prove that Villorio set fire to a residence at 9-11 Colfax St. in Providence on June 28, 2011 and again on June 29, 2011, and set fire to a residence at 70 Washington St. in Central Falls also on June 29, 2011.
Prosecutors maintain that Villorio harbored feelings of jealousy and resentment after learning that his ex-girlfriend was dating someone new. They allege that he went on an arson spree out of vengeance, setting fires to five residences, each with a connection to his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend.
Prosecutors say Villorio's first attempt at arson was the residence of his ex-girlfriend's grandmother, located at 41 Hedley Ave. in Central Falls. This fire was quickly extinguished and caused only minor damage. However, a week later, Villorio again set fire to the residence, and this blaze completely destroyed the home and required the evacuation of several neighboring residences. While both fires were ruled as arson, Central Falls Police had no suspects and the investigation remained open.
Prosecutors say that Villorio next turned his attention to his former girlfriend's new boyfriend, who resided at 9-11 Colfax St. in Providence. On June 28, 2011, Providence Police and Fire responded to that address for a report of an occupied house fire. Upon arrival, they found that the fire, which was minor, had been extinguished by the residents.
During the course of the investigation, police discovered an envelope on a vehicle parked in the driveway addressed to the new boyfriend that indicated the fire was intended to harm him and Villorio's ex-girlfriend. In the letter, which he signed "The Hazel Angel," Villorio wrote that he "wasn't going to stop 'till all families were done,'" prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say that while police were closing in on Villorio as their prime suspect for the Providence fire, he struck again. Less than 24 hours later, Villorio once more attempted to set fire to the residence on Colfax Street, but again the residents were able to extinguish the fire before any major damage occurred.
Shortly thereafter, Central Falls Police and Fire were dispatched to a fire at 70 Washington St. in Central Falls, which was the home of the mother of Villorio's ex-girlfriend. In the home at the time of the fire were seven other residents, including young children. The fire was extinguished quickly with no injuries.
During the course of the investigation, Providence and Central Falls Police, with the assistance of the State Fire Marshal's Office, determined the materials and method for the arson fires were consistent. Each fire was set using gasoline as the accelerant, and each was set under the cover of darkness and at the point of egress of the residences, prosecutors say.
Villorio was apprehended a short time later at his residence in Pawtucket. During a search of his vehicle, police allegedly found a five-quart container that smelled of gasoline, a box of wooden matches and a pair of rubber gloves. Police said Villorio also emitted a strong smell of gasoline. While in custody of the Providence Police, Villorio confessed to the five arson fires.
Detective Jonathan Primiano led the investigation for the Providence Police and Detectives Jeffrey Araujo and Phil Garland led the investigation for the Central Falls Police, with the assistance of Fire Marshal Michael Sweeney, Chief of Investigations for the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Special Assistant Attorney General John Dean prosecuted the case on behalf of the Office of Attorney General.

When Floyd W. Roberts thinks about his early childhood, he vividly recalls his parents taking him to places to be entertained for his birthday inflatable toys, arcades and pizza were involved.
With that notion in mind, in December the 42-year-old businessman launched the Snack Shack Family Fun Center at 20768 Route 12F. The centers fun-filled activities already have made it a busy hub for childrens birthday parties.
I appreciate that my parents took me to fun places as a kid, but I dont think its done as much these days, said Mr. Roberts, who also owns Palomino Motors in Watertown and Evans Mills. This is something Ive wanted to do for a long time.
Activities are geared toward children ages 1 to 7 at the 4,800-square-foot center, which has partnered with Roberts Family Concessions in Watertown to offer pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken wings, he said. When they enter, youngsters will first notice its inflatable bounce castles, slides and mini trampoline; the arcade features a giant Connect Four game, air hockey, a foosball table, arcade-style basketball, Skee-Ball, an interactive downhill skiing game and an old-school jukebox. Tickets earned from games can be redeemed for prizes such as plasma balls, sticky hand toys and candy.
Children can take a break from the action by getting washable glittery tattoos stamped on their arms; designs include butterflies and mermaids for girls, sharks and pirates for boys. A separate party room with dining booths is also available.
Youngsters can whoop the afternoon away for $5 an hour per person at the center, said Mr. Roberts, who aimed to create an affordable getaway for families.
Ive tried to make this a place where everything is included, instead of paying more as you go like other places, he said.
Mr. Roberts said activities now available at the center are just the start of his plans. Next month, youngsters who visit the center will be able to make their own stuffed zoo animals. A host of outdoor activities will be offered at the center during the spring and summer. Those plans include giant inflatable obstacle courses and a fenced-in area that will offer rides for children on large moving stuffed animals, called Giddy Up Rides.
Two children at a time will be able to race through obstacle courses more than 50 feet long, which include ladders, pylons, climbing wall and slides. Obstacle course themes will feature a boot camp challenge, Batman, Spider-Man and Call of Duty Black Ops, which is named after a popular video game. There is also a chance water will be added to slides during the hot summer, transforming it into an inflatable water park.
Theyre going to love racing and bouncing, Mr. Roberts said.
Snack Shack Family Fun Center is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit snackshackfamilyfuncenter.com.

Maine State Police and 83 other law enforcement agencies in Maine have kicked off their annual campaign to crack down on seat belt violators.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ The two-week "Buckle Up-No Excuses" campaign began Monday and runs through June 2, coinciding with the national "Click It or Ticket" campaign involving police agencies across the country.
In Maine, the state Bureau of Highway Safety has distributed $178,000 in federal highway safety funds to assist in the effort by paying officers' overtime.
Col. Robert William, the head of the Maine State Police, said victims in half of all highway deaths this year were not buckled up.
A seat belt summons costs $70 for the first offense, $160 for the second and $310 for the third violation.

POTSDAM The Potsdam Central School Districts 2012-2013 external audit reports the district is in good financial shape despite years of declining revenues.
In the current year, the unassumed fund balance is 5 percent, said Ray J. Chip Clark, of DArcangelo & Co., the districts auditing firm.
While an unreserved fund balance of 5 percent is above the states 4 percent limit, Mr. Clark said hes not concerned about it.
I dont feel your fund balance is excessive, he said of the $1,366,239 account. Your variances are very much within reason.
Mr. Clark noted that when budgeted revenues of $27,725,218 were compared to the actual revenues of $25,521,726, the district had a variance of 3.5 percent.
On the expenditure side, Mr. Clark said that variance was 3.9 percent. According to Mr. Clarks presentation this week, the district had budgeted expenses of $27,725,218 versus actual expenses of $26,506,702.
Youre going to start seeing those variances go down as districts can less afford to build in a budget cushion, Mr. Clark said.
He did say, however, that with variances in the 3 to 4 percent range the district was where he would like it to be. Most districts he reviews have variances within the 1 to 5 percent range, he said.
Mr. Clark also noted the district has reserve funds of $112,541 for encumbrances, $605,842 for employee benefit accrued liability, $415,615 for tax certiorari claims, $579,808 for retirement contributions and a $213,889 account for unemployment insurance.
Despite the positive report, Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said the district could be looking at some tough decisions this year.
While the tax cap is widely reported as being 2 percent, Mr. Brady noted the way the law is written the base for the cap is actually 2 percent or the consumer price index, whichever is lower.
We could be looking at a tax cap or 1.5 percent, he said, noting the CPI has been hovering around 1.5 percent for most of the year.
If we dont see an increase in state aid, we could be looking at some difficult decisions.

My finest memory from childhood is sailing a kayak my clever brother had made out of plywood and canvas.
The sailing adventure was on a lake in Glacier National Park. The wind was good, my beloved dog was tucked between my knees for ballast, and I scooted over the water like a rocket – or so it seemed to an 11-year old. I have a black-and-white photo of that event (the world was black and white in those days) and I cherish it greatly even though it's faded.
If you and your little ones still hope to get in a family camping trip this summer and make some memories, there's no time to lose. With that in mind, let me tell you a bit about the geology of Glacier National. Even if you only visit it in prose, it can do your spirits good while you camp or explore nature in parks in local spots wherever you live across the nation. And what geologists have learned in Glacier National Park is helping them interpret current tectonic events in the Himalayas and the Andes.

Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems will be giving a series of talks on how older adults can keep in shape both physically and mentally.
Geriatric nurse Amy Cotton with Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems said, "Interact with your environment. It requires you to be attentive, it requires good listening, and then it requires action on our part rather than just passively seeing and hearing. It requires an opportunity to think about what you have seen and what you have heard."
Cotton will be the presenter of the talks that will concentrate on strategies for healthy brain fitness. EMHS wants to educate senior citizens about the importance of exercising your brain.
Cotton said, "It's common sense if you're eating well, have good nutrition, if you're getting daily physical fitness then clearly you're going to feel better. You're probably going to have a better thinking capacity. There are some exercises that one should be considering particularly into their mature years that can keep the nerve cells communicating and more robust."
Many brain engaging activities can be done during your daily routine and at no cost. When you are at the store estimate how far you are from the exit. If you go grocery shopping make a list, but leave it in your pocket and try to recall the items you need. Finally, while watching the evening news try to recall the stories to a family member or a friend.
Such activities increase attention to your surroundings and exercise your nerve cells. Attendees can expect to hear other ways to mentally engage themselves along with warning signs of memory loss. This will be the first in a series of talks to better senior citizen aging.
The event will take place Wednesday, December 12 at the Dirigo Pines Inn in Orono. It is free and open to the public.

Saint Seiya, for those that don't know, is a Japanese animated cartoon and comic book series about a group of saints that fight for the Greek Goddess Athena. In the series, each saint wears a special armor called "cloths". The power of the cloths are denoted by its color, the strongest being the Gold Cloths. Saint Seiya was and is very popular among the post 80s and 90s generation of Chinese.
During this year's ChinaJoy game expo, one of the most coveted piece of swag was a backpack that looks like the gold cloth in Saint Seiya. Unfortunately Kotaku wasn't able to attain one. The backpack was given out as a promotional material for the Saint Seiya Online game in China. Taking his awesome piece of swag with him to Greece, Le Shui set out to recreate scenes from his favorite cartoon.
Taking odd looks from tourists and locals, Le Shui touched down in Greece earlier this month and made his way to the Parthenon to pay homage to the classic series.
Mirroring a quote from the series, Le Shui posted on his Sina Weibo account his feelings about the trip.
"Dreams are not impossible, when a person gives up on their dreams they give up on life—regardless of how others ridicule you for your dreams you must fight on," wrote Le Shui. "Let the cosmos burn in 2012."

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about the factors that increase the chance of developing this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors often influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
A person with an average risk of colorectal cancer has about a 5% chance of developing colorectal cancer overall. Generally, most colorectal cancers (about 95%) are considered sporadic, meaning the genetic changes develop by chance after a person is born, so there is no risk of passing these genetic changes on to one's children. Inherited colorectal cancers are less common (about 5%) and occur when gene mutations, or changes, are passed within a family from one generation to the next (see below). Often, the cause of colorectal cancer is not known. However, the following factors may raise a person's risk of developing colorectal cancer:
Age. The risk of colorectal cancer increases as people get older. Colorectal cancer can occur in young adults and teenagers, but more than 90% of colorectal cancers occur in people older than 50. The average age of diagnosis in the United States is 72.
Gender. Men have a slightly higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than women.
Family history of cancer. Colorectal cancer may run in the family if first-degree relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, children) or many other family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, cousins) have had colorectal cancer. This is especially true when family members are diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 60. If a person has a family history of colorectal cancer, his or her risk of developing the disease is nearly double the average risk of colorectal cancer. The risk further increases if other close relatives have also developed colorectal cancer.
It is important to talk to your family members about your family's history of colorectal cancer. If you think you may have a family history of colorectal cancer, talk with a genetic counselor first before you have any genetic testing. Only genetic testing can determine if you have a genetic mutation, and genetic counselors are trained to explain the risks and benefits of genetic testing.
Rare inherited conditions. Members of families with certain uncommon inherited conditions also have a significantly increased risk of colorectal cancer, as well as other types of cancer; these include familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP), Gardner syndrome, Lynch syndrome, Juvenile Polyposis syndrome (JPS), Muir-Torre syndrome, MYH-associated polyposis (MAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), and Turcot syndrome. Relatives of women with uterine cancer may also be at higher risk.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). People with IBD, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, may develop chronic inflammation of the large intestine, which increases the risk of colon cancer. IBD is not the same as irritable bowel syndrome.
Adenomatous polyps (adenomas). Polyps are not cancer, but some types of polyps called adenomas are likely to develop into colorectal cancer. Polyps can often be completely removed using a tool during a colonoscopy, a test in which a doctor looks into the colon using a lighted tube after the patient has been sedated. Polyp removal can prevent colon cancer. People who have had adenomas have a greater risk of additional polyps and of colon cancer, and they should have follow-up screening tests regularly (see below).
Personal history of certain types of cancer. People with a personal history of colon cancer and women who have had ovarian cancer or uterine cancer are more likely to develop colon cancer.
Race. Black people have the highest rates of sporadic, or non-hereditary, colorectal cancer in the United States, and colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among black people. Black women are more likely to die from colorectal cancer than women from any other racial group, and black men are even more likely to die from colorectal cancer than black women. The reasons for these differences are unclear. Noting that black people are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer at a younger age, the American College of Gastroenterology suggests that black people begin screening with colonoscopies at age 45 (see below). Earlier screening may find changes in the colon at a more treatable stage.
Physical inactivity and obesity. People who lead an inactive lifestyle, meaning no regular exercise and a lot of sitting, and people who are overweight may have an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
Smoking. Recent studies have shown that smokers are more likely to die from colorectal cancer than nonsmokers.
Research continues to look into what factors cause colorectal cancer and what people can do to lower their personal risk. There is no proven way to completely prevent this disease, but there may be steps you can take to lower your risk. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your personal risk of developing colorectal cancer. The following may lower a person's risk of colorectal cancer:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Some studies suggest that aspirin and other NSAIDs may reduce the development of polyps in people with a history of colorectal cancer or polyps. However, regular use of NSAIDs may cause major side effects, including bleeding of the stomach lining and blood clots leading to stroke or heart attack. Taking aspirin or other NSAIDs cannot be substituted for regular colorectal cancer screening. People should talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of taking aspirin on a regular basis.
Diet and supplements. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in red meat may help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Some studies have also found that people who take calcium and vitamin D supplements have a lower risk of colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer can often be prevented through regular screening, which can find precancerous polyps. Talk with your doctor about when screening should begin based on your age and family history of the disease. Although some people should be screened earlier, people of average risk should begin screening at age 50. Black people should start receiving at age 45 because they are more commonly diagnosed at a younger age. Because colorectal cancer usually does not cause symptoms until the disease is advanced, it is important for people to talk with their doctor about the pros and cons of each screening test and how often each test should be given. Under these guidelines, people should begin colorectal cancer screening earlier and/or undergo screening more often if they have any of the following colorectal cancer risk factors:
- A personal history of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps
- A strong family history of colorectal cancer or polyps (cancer or polyps in a first-degree relative younger than 60 or in two first-degree relatives of any age). A first-degree relative is defined as a parent, sibling, or child
- A personal history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease
- A family history of any hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome (FAP, HNPCC, or other syndromes; see above)
The tests used to screen for colorectal cancer are described below:
Colonoscopy. This test allows the doctor to look inside the entire rectum and colon while a patient is sedated. A flexible, lighted tube called a colonoscope is inserted into the rectum and the entire colon to look for polyps or cancer. During this procedure, a doctor can remove polyps or other tissue for examination (see biopsy in the Diagnosis section). This is the only screening test that allows the removal of polyps, which can also prevent colorectal cancer.
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) colonography. CT colonography, sometimes called virtual colonoscopy, is a screening method being studied in some centers. It requires interpretation by a skilled radiologist, a doctor who specializes in obtaining and interpreting medical images, to be used to the best advantage. However, it may be an alternative for people who cannot have a standard colonoscopy due to the risk of anesthesia, which is medication to block the awareness of pain, or if a person has a blockage in the colon that prevents a full examination.
Sigmoidoscopy. A sigmoidoscope is a flexible, lighted tube, and it is inserted into the rectum and lower colon to check for polyps, cancer, and other abnormalities. During this procedure, a doctor can remove polyps or other tissue for later examination. The doctor cannot check the upper part of the colon, the ascending and transverse colon, with this test. If polyps or cancer is found using this test, a colonoscopy to view the entire colon is recommended.
Fecal occult blood test (FOBT). This is a test used to find blood in the feces, or stool, which can be a sign of polyps or cancer. A positive FOBT test, meaning that blood is found in the feces, can be from causes other than a colon polyp or cancer, including bleeding in the stomach or upper GI tract and even ingestion of rare meat or other foods. There are two types of tests: guaiac and immunochemical. Polyps and cancers do not bleed continually, so the FOBT must be done on several stool samples each year and should be repeated yearly. Even then, the reduction in deaths from colorectal cancer is fairly small at around 30% if done yearly and 18% if done every other year.
Double contrast barium enema (DCBE). For patients who cannot have a colonoscopy, an enema containing barium is given, which helps the outline of the colon and rectum stand out on x-rays. A series of x-rays is then taken of the colon and rectum. In general practice, most doctors would recommend other screening tests because a barium enema is less likely to detect precancerous polyps than a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or CT colonography.
Stool DNA tests. This test analyzes the DNA from a person's stool sample to look for cancer. It uses changes in the DNA that occur in polyps and cancers to determine whether a colonoscopy should be done.
Screening Recommendations
Different organizations have made different recommendations for colorectal cancer screening. Two sets of recommendations are described below. Talk with your doctor about the best test and time between tests based on your health history and personal cancer risk.
The American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American Cancer Society, and the American College of Radiology have developed consensus guidelines for screening for colorectal cancer, with the goal of cancer prevention. Beginning at age 50, both men and women of average risk should follow one of these testing schedules.
The following tests detect both polyps and cancer:
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy, every five years
- Colonoscopy, every 10 years
- DCBE, every five years
- CT colonography, every five years
These tests primarily detect cancer:
- Guaiac-based FOBT, every year
- Fecal immunochemical test, every year
- Stool DNA test, as often as your doctor recommends
The U.S. Preventive Health Services Task Force (USPSTF) also has guidelines for colon cancer screening, which differ somewhat from those mentioned above. The USPSTF recommends one of the following testing methods:
- A high-sensitivity FOBT, every year
- Sigmoidoscopy, every five years, with FOBT testing between tests
- Colonoscopy, every 10 years
In addition, this task force did not think there was enough evidence of benefit or harm to recommend virtual colonography and fecal DNA testing.
According to the USPSTF, adults between ages 76 and 85 should not have routine screening, because the risks outweigh the benefits, and adults older than 85 can avoid colorectal cancer screening. However, people who have a history of polyps or colorectal cancer have a higher risk of the disease, and screening may still be recommended at an older age.
It is important to note that, regardless of the screening test and schedule, any test that indicates an abnormality should be followed up with a colonoscopy.

A federal judge has denied American Honda Motor Co. Inc.s motion to dismiss a multi-million-dollar lawsuit brought by DealMaker Auto Group and has approved the filing of an amended complaint by the Watertown business.
Senior Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. entered his decision Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, giving DealMaker the chance to file a more detailed action against Honda. The company tried to get the suit dismissed, claiming in part that the action did not state a valid claim for which the court could rule in favor of DealMaker.
I felt we always had a strong case against American Honda Motor Company, and I think that by being allowed to file an amended complaint and plead it with more specificity, it becomes stronger, said P.J. Simao, managing member of DealMaker. Im looking forward to our day in court.
DealMaker filed suit in June 2012, seeking $110 million in damages, although the amended complaint now asks for at least $37 million. At issue is DealMakers contention that Honda forced DealMaker to open its Potsdam dealership in November 2008 in the worst economic climate in decades, with the slow winter sales season approaching and with DealMakers proposed manager, who had previously managed DealMakers Honda store in Watertown, out on sick leave. DealMaker claims the combination of factors was a recipe for disaster.
The forced opening of DealMaker Potsdam during that period of time caused significant losses not only to DealMaker Potsdam but to DealMaker Watertown because it exhausted financial and personnel resources from DealMaker Watertown leading to the demise of both DealMaker Entities, it is claimed in the amended complaint.
According to the complaint, Mr. Simao met with Honda representatives to voice his concerns, and the company was aware he was also in negotiations to sell both dealerships. It is claimed that, despite assurances that Honda would either assist in the sales of the dealerships or otherwise help DealMaker work through its financial difficulties, Honda notified DealMaker that it was in violation of its floor-plan financing agreement, meaning DealMaker was unable to bring in new inventory. Honda ultimately ended DealMakers franchise agreement, leaving the car manufacturer without a certified dealer between Syracuse and Plattsburgh.
Mr. Simao also claims that two of his real estate companies, Prime LLC and Onondaga Development LLC, suffered damages as a result of Hondas alleged insistence that the franchise on Route 56 in Potsdam open prematurely. The Potsdam location was a tenant of Prime, while the Route 11 location in the town of Watertown was a tenant of Onondaga Development. The Potsdam dealership was supposed to pay Prime $36,000 monthly in rent to cover Primes other costs associated with establishing the site as a Honda dealership, including $24,000 in monthly mortgage payments, according to the complaint.
The amended complaint also claims that Mr. Simao personally suffered enormous and foreseeable economic injuries as a result of Hondas alleged actions. The initial lawsuit contained 11 causes of action for which DealMaker sought $10 million each in damages, while the amended complaint contains eight causes of action, each of which seeks at least $4 million in damages.

Latest on Carl Pavano and the Mets
The Mets have reportedly shown interest in signing RHP Carl Pavano to fill their vacant spot in the starting rotation.
Jan. 21: The Rockies are aggressively pursuing Pavano and Derek Lowe (Renck, Denver Post).
Jan. 8: Pavano is talking with six teams, including the Mets (McCarron, Daily News).
Jan. 7: The Mets have had very preliminary discussions with the agents for Pavano (McCullough, Star Ledger).
Jan. 4: The Mets are considering signing Pavano (Davidoff, New York Post).
Jan. 2: The Mets are looking to sign a starting pitcher to a one-year deal (Cerrone, MetsBlog.com).
Statistics, information, and analysis on Carl Pavano...
Stats: Pavano, who turns 37 in January, went 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in only 11 starts in 2012, allowing 80 hits with eight walks and nine home runs in 63 innings. He missed most of the season with a bone spur in his right humerus bone.
Contract: Pavano just completed a two-year, $16.5 million contract he signed with the Twins before the 2011 season.
Michael Baron, ContributorPavano has had one of the strangest pitching careers in recent memory. He has historically pitched to a lot of contact but is a control artist who limits bases on balls which in turn limits the damage allowed. When he's right, Pavano can be one of the more solid and dependable right-handers in the game. But I'm not sure how he might fare back in New York, considering how badly his first go-around was in this city with the Yankees.
