- Abstract
- Photonic crystal structures having three-dimensional (3D) circular spiral architecture have large theoretical photonic band-gap but cannot be implemented by most of the existing microfabrication techniques. We have successfully used a highly versatile 3D microstructuring technique called femtosecond laser microfabrication to prepare templates of the circular spiral photonic crystals in a commercially available photoresist SU-8. The structures fabricated have good structural quality, are highly periodic and exhibit spectral signatures of photonic bands dispersion in the short infrared wavelength region.

What is Merkel cell carcinoma?
Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon type of skin cancer. It can grow quickly and can be hard to treat if it spreads beyond the skin. To understand Merkel cell carcinoma, it helps to understand the skin and its functions.
Normal skin
The skin is the largest organ in your body. It does many different things, such as:
- Covering the internal organs and helping protect them from injury
- Serving as a barrier to germs such as bacteria
- Preventing the loss of too much water and other fluids
- Helping control body temperature
- Protecting the rest of the body from ultraviolet (UV) rays
- Helping the body make vitamin D
- Relaying information about things outside the body by sensing touch, temperature, etc.
The skin has 3 layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutis.
This top layer of skin is very thin, averaging only about 1/100 of an inch thick. It protects the deeper layers of skin and the organs of the body from the environment.
The cells near the surface of the epidermis are called squamous cells because of their flat shape.
The lowest part of the epidermis is called the basal layer. Most of the cells here are called basal cells, but this layer also contains Merkel cells, the cells that can develop into Merkel cell carcinoma.
Merkel cells are very close to nerve endings in the skin. They help us sense light touch, which lets us do things like feel the fine details on an object's surface. Merkel cells are thought to be a type of neuroendocrine cell, because they share some features with nerve cells and hormone-making cells.
The epidermis is separated from the deeper layers of skin by the basement membrane. As a skin cancer becomes more advanced, it can grow through this barrier and into the deeper layers of the skin.
This middle layer of the skin is much thicker than the epidermis. It contains hair follicles, sweat glands, blood vessels, and nerves. These are held in place by a protein called collagen, which gives the skin its elasticity and strength.
The deepest layer of the skin (the subcutis) contains a network of collagen and fat cells. The subcutis helps the body conserve heat and has a shock-absorbing effect that helps protect the body's organs from injury.
Merkel cell carcinoma
Merkel cell carcinoma is an uncommon type of skin cancer that starts when Merkel cells grow out of control. Because Merkel cells are a type of neuroendocrine cell, MCC is also sometimes called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Another name for MCC is trabecular carcinoma (or trabecular cancer).
MCC is much less common than most other types of skin cancer (see below), but it's one of the most dangerous types. It's much more likely than common skin cancers to spread to other parts of the body if not caught early, and it can be very hard to treat if it has spread.
These cancers most often start on sun-exposed parts of the skin, such as the face (the most common site), neck, and arms. But MCC can start anywhere on the body. Merkel cell tumors usually appear as firm, pink, red, or purple lumps or bumps on the skin. They are not usually painful, but they can grow quickly and can sometimes open up as ulcers or sores (see "Signs and symptoms of Merkel cell carcinoma").
While nearly all MCCs start on the skin, a very small portion start in other parts of the body, such as inside the nose or esophagus.
Other types of skin cancer
Basal and squamous cell carcinomas
These are by far the most common skin cancers. They rarely spread to other parts of the body, and can usually be cured with surgery. For more information on these cancers, see Skin Cancer: Basal and Squamous Cell.
These cancers develop from melanocytes, the pigment-making cells of the skin. Melanomas are much less common that basal and squamous cell cancers, but they are much more likely to spread and be life-threatening if not caught at an early stage. Melanoma is discussed in Melanoma Skin Cancer.
Less common types of skin cancer
Other, much less common types of skin cancer include:
- Kaposi sarcoma
- Lymphoma of the skin
- Skin adnexal tumors (tumors that start in the hair follicles or skin glands)
- Various types of sarcomas
Together, these types account for less than 1% of skin cancers.

Title? Edit
Should this perhaps be renamed Alliance Case why-oh-oh-four-three-dash-seventeen thousand fourteen? I mean keep the current title in the article and make it redirect here but it seems more like the actual title of the case. Just throwing it out there. I am kind of stupid so i could be completely off base but just a suggestion...--Anju Vena (Nihilus Speak) 13:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

One afternoon when our office suite at the university where I teach was unusually busy, a student approached me. "Can I pray?" she asked, gesturing to the already occupied conference room. I asked if she would like a quieter space and unlocked an empty office for her.
Less than a week later, I came across another student on a prayer rug in the stairwell.
I then went to the dean of student affairs to propose that we create a designated prayer space on campus. And not for the first time did I think about how the world of ecumenism has expanded to include interreligious partners.
When I was a college student in the 1980s, we worked on ecumenical efforts with Roman Catholics and Baptists. Today students venturing into the world of ecumenism also frequently encounter adherents from other world religions.
Looking at how the word "ecumenism" comes to us gives a sense of how earlier church incarnations viewed ecumenical outreach. Donald McCoid, assistant to theELCA presiding bishop and executive for ecumenical and interreligious relations, said: "Ecumenism has its roots in being of the same household (oikoumene). The quest for a united Christian church has kept this meaning of ecumenism as the focus for Christian dialogues and Christian unity."

Supreme Court's rail-trail ruling: What does it mean for Oregon?
for lawsuits from landowners adjacent to popular
rail-trails like the Banks-Vernonia State Trail.
(Photo by J. Maus/BikePortland)
Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on a rail-trail case — and the doomsday headlines that followed — have caused a lot of concern among people who love cycling on paths built atop former railroad corridors.
In Marvin M. Brandt Revocable Trust v. United States the court ruled 8-1 in favor of the trust, who claimed their rights to the now-abandoned railroad should be reinstated. Their land is slated to become part of the Medicine Bow Rail Trial and the federal government argued that they have rights to the trail easement based on a "reversionary interest" which should go into effect once the railroad was abandoned.

Lets have fun while we are still alive.
About myself
I am an easy going person. I am down for just about anything. I am very sexually driven and horny person. If the wind blows right it can get me going. I am kinky and have some fetishes. I just want to have some fun with ladies that want the same thing. I'm not opposed to a "relationship" ...I'm using that term very loosely. Just if we get together and it is good, why stop you know? We can continue to hook up as long as we feel is necessary.
The person I would like to meet
I need to find a girl who just loves to get dirty with me. Loves to give and receive oral. Willing to do or try anal. The dirtier you are the better. I really love a woman with a nice big butt. Nothing gets me going more than that. Nice tits are always a plus but if you've got that butt, you've got me going.
About my work
I'm not looking for anything long term so it really shouldn't matter. We aren't going to be living together and I won't be supporting you in any way.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I play and write music. I love anything outdoors. Could be camping, hiking, off roading, even just wandering around in the woods somewhere. I just really enjoy being outside taking it all in.
My idea of a great date
I'm not really looking to "date". I would like to just meet up someplace, get to the good stuff, and be on our way. We don't have to just do things once...We can spend all day and/or night together. But I'm not looking to go hang out at different places.
If you are divorced/widower, you can talk about how that happened here.
Never married.
What is your fantasy vacation?
My fantasy vacation is a trip all around the world stopping at many destinations. Mostly throughout Europe and Asia.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
I "vacation" to Mackinac Island a lot. It's always a good time there. Not too far away but far enough that all your worries are gone for the time being. Relaxing.
What do you find attractive in people?
Nice butts. If we get along and have similar interests it can be attractive in a different way.
What do others do that irritate you?
Smack on their gum. I hate you people.
What do you think is your best quality?
I've been told I am funny. Who knows. To me my best quality is something people can't see with my clothes on..
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I wish I could just stop caring about others problems. Everyone comes to me to vent and although I like it, I hate it at the same time.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Do you want to meet up and have some no strings attached fun?
Describe your physique.
I am a skinny guy. I eat and eat and never gain any weight. It is good and bad.
What do you do well sexually?
I've been told I do everything well. You can be the judge.
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
I love to get head. A close second would be you riding on top of me showing me how my dick disappears into your ass.
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
I've got a few that I won't write on here because I don't want to sound too strange. You can ask me if you want to know them. But I will list one that isn't very crazy. I want a girl to get naked and lay there while I jerk off to them. When I'm about to blow they open their mouth to swallow my cum. But they never touch me at all.
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
I will tell you about it if you ask.
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
No. I am 100% drugs and disease free.
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
Initially a one night stand. But I wouldn't stop it from turning into playing for a while or a long-term adult relationship if things were right. If we are both attracted to each other we can keep it going for as long as we want.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
Please contact me if you like what you see and want to get together. I've been trying so many of these sites and I never get any real responses. All I get is spam. I would love to hear from a real lady.

text: The University of Virginia and the College of William & Mary are among several schools nationwide that are being investigated concerning sexual abuse complaints. The federal government is looking at the way the colleges deal with allegations of sexual harrassment. The federal government is looking at 55 colleges and universities. The U.S. Department of Education says being on the list does not mean a school has been found to be in violation of Title IX requirements at this stage. The agency promises regular updates as new investigations get underway.

Colorado standout linebacker Addison Gillam would be the first to admit it took some adjusting to the new college football rule that prohibits a defensive player from making a targeting-like tackle at or below the knee on a quarterback who is in a passing posture.
Gillam, from a small town in northern California, said he learned from a young age to tackle low.
"It was hard (to make this adjustment) at first," Gillam said. "But once you understand what you can and can't do and get it down, it's like making any other tackle."
Colorado coaches placed tape on pop-up bags (tackling dummies) to illustrate where the quarterback's knee would be.
"When we taped a zone on the bags, it gave our guys a focus point when tackling a quarterback," CU defensive ends coach Andy La Russa said. "Whatever they do with the rules, we've got to get our players to adapt to them. The best part about it is, it's for players' safety."
An extension of the rule for roughing the passer, flagging a 15-yard penalty for a low hit on a quarterback in a passing posture is sure to be one of the most noticeable rule changes this season.
Another significant rule change is removing the 15-yard penalty and personal foul when a targeting foul to the head and neck area is overturned by instant replay.
Enforcing a penalty when ultimately there was no foul seemed to defy logic last year. Now, that circumstance will not be an issue.
Although technically not specified as rule changes, two officiating "points of emphasis" could also become factors in a game.
The first concerns a team's management of the sideline. Officials are directed to enforce the 6-foot white border around the sideline as a "no-man's land." That area must be clear of players or coaches while the ball is alive and until action has ceased.
This could especially become an issue with no-huddle offenses that can require quick substitutions by both sides.
"The biggest new 'rule' is the sideline rule," CSU coach Jim McElwain said. "Officials are going to throw flags on coaches and the team as far as not giving (officials) that work area up and down the sideline. Even when we've had officials (in camp), we've gotten flagged three times in scrimmages."
CU's LaRussa is concerned about Buffs home games. There isn't much room at Folsom Field between the sideline and the stands.
"That sideline rule is going to affect a lot of guys at Folsom," LaRussa predicted. "That will be interesting."
The other officiating point of emphasis this season concerns unsportsmanlike player behavior. According to the NCAA rules committee, "spontaneous enthusiasm and positive celebration are encouraged." However, an unsportsmanlike penalty will be assessed for acts of "self-promotion" and taunting of the opponent, such as the throat-slashing gesture or what is deemed to be vulgar behavior.
"I don't think there is any place in the game for taunting and all that late stuff," McElwain said.
"We've done, I think, a pretty good job as far as getting our guys under control. Still, emotions run. The thing we stress with our guys is calling attention to yourself through something like that is one of the most selfish acts there is. You're hurting your family, your team."
As have other teams, Colorado brought in game officials to explain which celebratory acts are acceptable and those that cross the line.
"I hope our team really respects that," CU senior receiver D.D. Goodson said.

On Thursday when I was putting Houston in his stall he stepped on my foot (total accident and yes I had boots on)...
I yelped, removed my boot thinking I would have a bruise... and quickly realized my toe nail had been damaged we will say.
THIS DESCRIPTION WILL GET GRAPHIC so please don't read if you don't have the stomach for it.
I looked down and realized that something was wrong. It started bleeding and I proceeded to get lightheaded and sweaty. I sat down in the aisle... Luckily there was someone at the barn and she suggested I probably go to the ER (she is a nurse) I said NO WAY JOSE but agreed to call my primary physician and get in asap to see him. She drove me to the DR because I was still flipping out.
Get there and my toe now looks like this... Mr. Doctor tells me I have to go get an X ray...
(this is flipped- it is my right foot)
Then hobble back to exam room and he tells me he is going to numb my toe because he needs to "clean up" the area... the numbing was by far the worst part of the whole thing. He tells me he is going to have to remove my nail because it has been ripped out from the nail plate (nail ablation) Super unpleasant. I can still feel a lot of what he is doing and all of the pressure. Still feeling super ill at this time. Then he adds the icing on the cake and tells me I have to get a tetanus shot. BOO.
(after procedure and about to go home)
I have been hobbling around since Thursday afternoon. It has since bruised pretty badly and is quite swollen. I do have a progression of pictures... (please note that they are more graphic and that is why they are links and not posted in the body of this post)
4 (tonight)
I am calling my doctor tomorrow because it is itchy and hurts and to check in but my question is...
Have any of you experienced this? How long before you could wear real shoes?
I can't ride or really be around Houston at all because I can only wear sandals at the moment because my toe is constantly wrapped to prevent it from getting dirty/ getting infected. No fun

Kyle: I'm gonna miss you, Jessi.
Jessi: No, you're not. Because no matter where I am, we're always connected.
Kyle: That's true.
Jessi: Even if I am smarter.
Kyle: (laughs) Stronger.
Jessi: Faster.
Amanda: You may not know that
I love you.
Kyle: You do?
Amanda: I do.
Kyle: I love you, too.
Amanda: Jessi helped me.
Lori: You did?
Jessi: Well, I didn't want to, but she was really pathetic.
Adam: I'll be back one day, when it's time for us to resume our training. In the meantime I want you to stay here and enjoy what I never had.
Kyle: What's that?
Adam: A life.
Stephen: (to Lori, Josh and Kyle) There will be no sex had by you! Not any of you! Not tonight, tomorrow or hopefully ever in my lifetime.
Lori: You have two moms. Doesn't one of them wear a little lip gloss?
Andy: My moms think that make-up is an ageist, sexist ploy to devalue the feminine form in its natural state, perpetuating unrealistic myths and expectations.
Stephen: All right, you want it quick and painless. (holds up a condom) Don't use this.
Josh: You don't want me to have safe sex?
Kyle: (voice-over) Expectations, to them the word implied inevitable failure, was it wrong to have faith that things could turn out well.
Lori: Why on Earth would you watch Prom Night? It's scary.
Kyle: It's video research for the prom.
Nicole: You're researching the prom?
Lori: And it led you to Prom Night?
Kyle: It had the most straight forward title.
Nicole: What else did you look at?
Kyle: 44 movies, 2.6 million websites and 37 young adult novels. Prom is the most romantic moment in a young person's life; it's the culmination of adolescence and marks the beginning of the journey into adulthood.
Kyle: (voice-over) There's a reason why people say we shouldn't expect too much. No one wants to see someone they care about end up disappointed. We instinctively act to protect our own from being hurt, and do what we can to make the right choices for the people we love. But the reason we have expectations in the first place is because we want to aim as high as we can. Because when you love someone, there's no limit to what you can accomplish.
Lori: All the makeup, like, ever is on your face!
Andy: I want to look va-va-voomy for Josh, but I keep coming up with vampire clown whore.
Lori: Don't worry, Dad. Store's closed.
Stephen: What store?
Lori: Tragerporium is locked tight. No weekend sales; no limited time offers; security systems armed; guard dogs are roaming the aisle! 'Course we're still encouraging window shopping, 'cause you always want to keep the public interested. But I can assure you that tonight will not be about sex.
Kyle: I thought prom was basically just foreplay for much of the adolescent universe.

text: A fiery freeway accident early Sunday morning left one man dead. At about 12:10 a.m., a yet-to-be identified male driver lost control at a curve on a westbound Interstate 80 connector road to northbound Highway 65, according to Officer David Martinez, California Highway Patrol spokesman. The driver, referred to as John Doe, drove off the roadway and the 2000 Chevy Trailblazer he was driving hit a tree, Martinez said. The sport utility vehicle immediately ignited and became fully engulfed in flames, Martinez said. The driver, who was the only one inside the vehicle, succumbed to his injures, Martinez, said. Rocklin Police Department officers assisted at the scene and the roadway was closed for about three hours, Martinez said. Martinez said Monday that test results identifying the driver are expected to be complete by Tuesday. The accident remains under investigation. ~ Staff report

Bonnie was one of Phoebe's closest friends whom she introduced to Ross which lead to the two becoming a couple. Phoebe asked Rachel whether it would be ok if she got the two together; Rachel asked for a description of Bonnie and Phoebe said that she was bald. Rachel instantly said it was ok because she thought Bonnie was some "strange bald chick". Phoebe was in the Coffee Shop with Bonnie when Rachel walked and said she thought she just bought a soft pretzel from one of the kids from 'Fame'. Phoebe then introduces Rachel to Bonnie and Rachel is surprised to find Bonnie with a full head of hair and that she looked beautiful. Rachel and Phoebe then left the Coffee Shop and Rachel started yelling at Phoebe because she thought Bonnie was voluntarily bald and that Ross would have been put off by that. Phoebe explains that she was bald but that she was no longer.
In the next episode (Bonnie and Ross are still dating) Bonnie, Ross and Chandler were talking and it was revealed that Bonnie's first sexual experience was with a woman. She also stated the Countries and places that Bonnie had sex in. Phoebe then walks in and asks the group whether they can all go to the beach so that Phoebe could see a "close family friend" but Bonnie says "Shoot, I have to work this weekend,"

Visiting Fein and Festool Power Tools in Germany
Day Two
Welcome to Day 2 of my report from southwestern Germany. As I said in yesterday's report, Festool graciously invited me to the Stuttgart area to not only get an inside look at their company and how it builds and markets high-quality woodworking tools, but also to get a feel for its home region and the people who live in this area&emdash;and many of them use Festool tools regularly. We began our Sunday excursion in the town of Esslingen, just southeast of Stuttgart. On a guided walking tour of the downtown area, we learned that this city is more than 1,200 years old and boasts a heritage that rivals the best in Germany.
Nestled in a valley along the Nekar River, Esslingen originally was surrounded by a massive stone wall, very much like China's Great Wall. Portions of the originally corner gatehouses still stand, as do many of the buildings from that time, including a beautiful cathedral that features the oldest stained glass windows in Germany
We walked up the steep hillside and climbed up on the original fortifications from which past warriors no doubt fired arrows and poured boiling oil on rivals.
We also got to enjoy the outdoor Christmas market, a combination of holiday activities and for-sale items along with a medieval festival. It was like Braveheart meets Kris Kringle, with thousands of locals and tourists packed shoulder-to-shoulder on the cobblestone streets. Very cool.
During that tour of Esslingen, we learned a great deal about the construction of the buildings that have survived for so long. The oldest surviving buildings are made of stone, but there are a few hundred from the 12th and 13th centuries that were made of massive oak trees, joined with so many pinned mortise-and-tenons it would make an Amish barnbuilder feel lazy. Despite the exposed faces of these timbers, they have withstood the elements thanks to coatings of grapevine ashes and a mixture of ox blood and urine. Just another example that the Germans knew how to build a quality product.
Later in the day we went to the M�hlstra�e home workshop of Vitus Rommel, who works in product development at Festool's nearby facilities. It was Rommel who came up with the idea for the Domino, Festool's newest tool that is planned for a spring 2007 release in the United States and Canada. The Domino is similar to a biscuit joiner, but cuts mortises for floating tenons made of solid beech. I'll get to use one of the Domino tools tomorrow, so I'll have more details and photos after that. That's Vitus on the left with Festool USA President Christian Oltzscher.
But Vitus proved to be quite an interesting guy and entrepaneur. From his home shop he not only excels as a master cabinetmaker—a title earned in Germany only after seven certified years of learning and apprenticeship—but he also distills and markets his own schnapps. Vitus demonstrated the process as he brewed a barrel of fermented cherries in a high-tech double boiler that will get you arrested for moonshining in the states. After the two-and-a-half hour cook time, he had a batch of cherry schnapps ready for tasting. No wonder Festool succeeds in making such great tools: They hire go-getters with intelligence, pride, and imagination. As you'll see in the photos, we also got to hear the requisite accordion music. Once again, very cool.

But why would the RFL advise this when they don't want clubs like Featherstone in SL - or so we keep getting told!
People are just making things up to suit their argument.
It seems to me that the Featherstone of today and especially tomorrow if this investor comes on board, bear little or no comparison with the Featherstone who were in deep trouble in CC1 a few years ago. That Featherstone had zero chance of SL
Today the club have ticked so many boxes, ground, team, juniors, finance, even improving crowds that they are becoming impossible to ignore. They seriously compare with London and Castleford and maybe Salford and Widnes and not even the ring fenced barons of SL can any longer ignore the clamour at the gate.

City officials have tried to minimize the surprise by including—but not charging—the fee on bills sent over the past three months.
But bills that went out last week are showing residents of single-family homes now will be paying just over $5 per month more. The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports (http://bit.ly/19ZSAj7) commercial accounts and other nonresidential properties will have higher charges based on square footage and customer traffic. Apartment owners are being assessed $2.42 per unit.
The city ordinance authorizing the new fee says non-payment could result in utility shutoffs.
It's estimated the fee will raise about $11.4 million each year. It's to pay for street upkeep.

Packers Sign Andrew Quarless
The Green Bay Packers have locked up fifth-rounder Andrew Quarless, a talented, but troubled tight end from Penn State.
Quarless received an $183,000 signing bonus, but salary and length of the deal have not been reported.
He was the Packers first of two fifth-round picks (No. 154) and joins guard Marshall Newhouse (fifth), running back James Starks (sixth) and defensive end C.J. Wilson (seventh) as Packers' draft picks who are under contract.
Quarless had issues with alcohol in college, receiving both an underage drinking citation and a DUI. However, he's 6-4, 254 and has great hands.
Quarless' addition likely spells the end of Donald Lee's tenure with the Green Bay Packers.
Here's a look at Quarless.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
damn, good highlights, i hope he can do the same for the Pack and i hope he keeps his conduct in good shape! when Finley creates a mismatch with Safeties, Linebackers, and Cornerbacks, Quarless will do his damage and really help the Packers offense! Just imagine Driver, Jennings, Jones, Finley, and Quarless on the field?? Man, thats scary stuff!!! But good job by the Packers and Ted Thompson
With a singing bonus like that he has already made the team. Now they can roll Donald Lee's 3mil into whatever upgrade Finley is going to get. And, be scary athletic at TE. Lee will get picked up by someone else and play for 3-5 more years.
Nah, I say trade him. Someone will be willing to give a late round pick or two for him. If the Lions could get a first for Roy freakin Williams, we can certainly get a 5th or 6th for Donald Lee.

Representatives from across the heritage sector will meet to consider the context for the historic environment and how this might influence future policy making, as developments for the forthcoming Heritage Bill continue.
The event is hosted by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service, and takes place at the Welsh Government's Rhodfa Padarn office in Aberystwyth.
Over 30 people attended the first workshop in Cardiff Bay on 2 February. Participants were asked to consider what the world might look like in the future and how this might impact on the way we value, conserve and benefit from the historic environment.
Housing, Regeneration and Heritage Minister Huw Lewis said:
"Consultation is key to ensuring our policies are fit for purpose. These workshops are a useful way to directly engage with those who have an expert or personal interest in the heritage sector.
"The first workshop generated a great deal of discussion and I look forward to hearing the outcome of this second event."
The third Workshop takes place in Llandudno on 26 March. The Heritage Bill is planned for introduction in 2014-2015.

Boston Market Getting Rid of Salt Shakers
Fast Food Chain Also Removing Salt From Dishes
Boston Market, the casual-dining chain best known for chicken rotisseries and salty side dishes, said it is going to ditch the salt.The company will remove salt shakers from tables at all 476 locations and will reduce sodium levels in three signature items, reported USA Today.The chain plans to reduce salt in its rotisserie chicken, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes by 20 percent in the next six months.Signs on tables will explain the sodium reduction effort. Salt shakers will be placed by beverage stations.The move comes as several major food makers, including Burger King, have made plans to reduce sodium at the urging or health advocacy groups.Boston Market sells 48 million servings of rotisserie chicken, 24 million servings of mashed potatoes, and 21.6 million servings of macaroni and cheese each year.CEO George Michel told USA Today that Boston Market will reduce sodium levels by 15 percent menu-wide by the end of 2014."It's time for us to focus on making our food better," he said.--------Information from USA Today

In 2010, Instagram revolutionized how we take photos with our smart phones and in 2014 it will do it again with their new Socialite Instagram Polaroid Camera expected to be released early 2014. What better camera combines Instagram and Polaroid to create the Socialite Instagram Polaroid Camera that will carry the Polaroid brand? The Socialite is a 16 GB square camera with a 4-inch-wide screen that is an Instagram look-alike to its iconic logo with its brown top, rainbow lines and round black lens. The camera comes in two colors: an original look and raven black. The photos themselves print out a sleek, shiny, pocket-sized photo a trademark of the Polaroid Instant Cameras. Andre 3000 sang it best "shake, shake, shake like a Polaroid picture."
The Socialite will feature built-in Wi-Fi and Zink printer. Users can easily sync their photos from their Facebook or Instagram accounts and choose from one of the many of Instagram's retro filters to match your sense of style. All you got to do now is point, snap, and print instantly.
But will young adults give it a thumbs up or thumbs down? I asked two Instagram users, one avid and one new user, what they thought of the Socialite Instagram Polaroid Camera. Kimberly Andres, 23, from

It is important for everyone to understand the economics of the drug industry. I have heard that the cost today for bringing a drug to market is upwards of 500 million and takes about 12 years, is that true?
Yes, you're right.
The drug company is then given a 17-year patent so that it can make a profit on the drug. It is little wonder the drug companies fight against natural treatments such as Laetrile, because they are unable to patent them and they pose a serious threat to their profit margins. But you are able to patent your treatment, so why was there no interest in it from the drug companies?
Basically you have 17 years from the time when you have approval of the patent and this is independent from FDA's approval process. You file the patent, once you make a discovery, and then you go through FDA procedure. You spend say 12 years or 15 years for the approval process, then you have only 2 years license from the FDA, because license is going to expire in another 2 years. Certainly the pharmaceutical companies are spending a lot of money in this process.
In our case I decided to develop this on my own, to generate money from my private practice and use the money to support the research of Antineoplastons. Again we were approached by many different pharmaceutical companies, which were interested in working with us. Certainly after the bad experience (with Elan) we are very cautious with whom to deal. On the other hand pharmaceutical companies were afraid of action from the FDA.
The NCI put off testing Antineoplastons using the fact that it failed their standard P388 leukemia mouse test, is that correct?
What is the P388 leukemia mouse test and why did Antineoplastons fail it?
Well we had informed the NCI that this was a bad type of test for antineoplastons. Antineoplastons seems to be specific for species. Different animals have different antineoplastons; mice have a different composition of antineoplastons than humans. Practically, human antineoplastons may work well in humans, but they may not have much activity in mice. We knew this, even before the NCI began testing. On the other hand we didn't have good results at all in the acute form of leukemia and we didn't even accept such patients. It was known that if they only do this type of test, it was not going to work. They still tested and used this to say that Antineoplastons don't work against cancer. Certainly the fact that something works or doesn't work against mice leukemia is irrelevant.
I'd like the reader to bear with me in the next few questions, as the point will become clear. One of the chemicals you identified in the peptides was phenylacetate. But it was far inferior to the others and you chose not to patent it, is that correct?
This is not a peptide, this is a metabolite of our antineoplastons and it's an organic acid. So this is a final metabolite of antineoplastons. It has some anti-cancer activity, but the weakest of all antineoplastons. We knew about it and that's why after some preliminary experience in the treatment of phenylacetate back in 1980, we decided that it's not worth pursuing this and then we used antineoplastons that have higher activity.
But didn't you later find out that the NCI actually holds the patent for phenylacetate?
You're right. NCI is the owner of the patent, Dr. Samid is the author but Elan has the license to use these patents. All of these three work together.
Why did the NCI patent something that was far inferior to your other Antineoplastons?
Because they knew that this was the only chance that they can get hold of something which has to do with antineoplastons.
The NCI ran clinical trials on phenylacetate in 1992 and found it to be worthless, is that correct?
Well, the clinical trials began in 1992 but it took a few years to have the results. It shows some effectiveness in brain tumors and in prostate cancer. But of course it was far away from the results that we can get with antineoplastons.
When did the NCI eventually start clinical trials of Antineoplastons?
In 1994.
I assume you gave the doctors running the trials all the information about correct dosages, is that true?
Yes, well, basically they used dosages that were 50 times lower than what we feel are effective dosages. We have some patient's relatives who were present when the treatment was administered. Formulations of antineoplastons were badly diluted. This means that the patient was receiving very little antineoplastons and some of these patients were removed from the treatment after a short period of time because they were overloaded with fluid. Well normally we see fluid overload in perhaps less than 2% of our patients. So it makes sense that perhaps the formulations of antineoplastons were diluted and when the Mayo Clinic (1999) determined the concentration of antineoplastons in blood, we realize that it was something like 50 times lower than what it should be.
Do you think the NCI purposely sabotaged your trials?
I have no doubt about it. They
sabotaged the trial; they accepted patients who were too advanced. Their
main effort was to give a low dose of the medicine for a short period
of time and to stop treatment just for some minor problem, like if a patient
developed a skin rash. They were trying to give the treatment only for
a very short period of time, like for instance a couple of weeks or a
month. And then of course the patient was dying after that. It was completely
unethical, it was horrible. As you probably heard recently, the pharmacist
who was diluting an anti-cancer drug, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
I think the same should happen to these guys who really were trying to
use this for their political manipulations.

How much influence do the pharmaceutical companies wield in medicine in the US?
Extreme influence. Most of the oncologists, I'm talking about reputable oncologists, they work for pharmaceutical companies, they work in clinical trials, they receive various type of incentives from pharmaceutical companies. And basically these doctors are approving medicine, FDA may approve the medicine, but finally this advisory board may advise FDA to go ahead with this or do not approve that medicine. So really the doctors who are deciding if the medicine should be approved or not, practically all of them have some type of relation with large pharmaceutical companies.
Is there a conspiracy to suppress other treatments or is it just a case of avaricious businesses, the pharmaceutical and hospital industry's, doing everything in their power to protect their bottom line?
Well certainly they have a lot of power. When I filed my application for IND, the standard FDA policy was such that they would never approve a new drug for an individual owner, only for the large pharmaceutical companies. And that's why I believe we waited for such a long time to receive the go-ahead for our clinical trial. So certainly there were obstruction tactics. Whether this is a conspiracy or not is hard for me to tell. As you can see, the leads which I presented, like for instance a researcher who worked for me initially and then decided to go to the higher bidder, which was a pharmaceutical company; then the relationship between the pharmaceutical company and governmental agencies. All of this indicates that there is some type of conspiracy. I think a Congressional committee should study this.
Turning our attention to the doctor/oncology profession. When reading Thomas Elias's excellent book, "The Burzynski Breakthrough", I was struck by how many times patients said that their oncologists were aggressively opposed to them taking your treatment.
Even after a patient's success with your treatment, very few doctors give you the credit. Is this due to jealousy, arrogance, plain old denial or something else?
Probably a lot of arrogance. We have some prominent specialists, the best specialists in the world who really acknowledge our results and would like to work with us. On the other hand you have some doctors who hate to see a patient with success on our treatment. The fact that the patient is coming to their office, years after the patient should be dead, is something like a slap in the face. They hate it.
They will do everything they can to lie, to obstruct the information about this patient. We have a lot of evidence that oncologists were lying about the patient's condition. For instance the patient recovered completely from highly malignant cancer and the oncologist was telling us the patient died from cancer. So certainly, we have a lot of evidence about some of these doctors who are dishonest, who are liars, who cheat. But on the other hand you can't really put the same label on the entire profession. There are many other doctors who are honest and who like to know about what we have. Of course our clinic has board certified oncologists who are taking care of our patients.
I found an interesting
quote by David Stewart, a philanthropist who helped fund Gaston Naessens
cancer research in the 70's. He says,
Would you agree with these sentiments? What have your experiences been?
Well certainly, I think he's right; unfortunately that's the truth.
We spoke about Crystin Schiff briefly before. This is a particularly despicable story, because when Ric Schiff asked Dr. Michael Prados, then head of neuro-oncology at University of California at San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF), if he knew of any other treatment besides chemotherapy/radiation for Crystin's brain tumor, Prados replied in the negative. But a few years before, he had sent you 14 letters documenting the effectiveness of Antineoplastons on Jeff Keller, another patient with brain cancer. Is this story true?
Yes, it's true; of course Jeff Keller had an extremely malignant brain tumor. He had a high-grade glioma of the brain; he failed radiation therapy and additional treatments. He responded extremely well to our treatment. He was one of the patients whose case was presented to the NCI. So there was no doubt about his response. Dr. Prados knew about it. If he was dealing with a hopeless tumor like Crystin Schiff, why didn't he call us?
Ryan and mother Cindy. Ryan is in remission for several years after using Antineoplastons.
Please see the Burzynski
Patients web site for more information,
You may also e-mail
Mary Jo Siegel, the lady who runs the web site. Mary is also a cancer
survivor using Antineoplastons.
Do you know why Prados did not tell them about Keller's success with your treatment?
It's hard for me to tell. It happens that Dr. Prados and Dr, Friedman, who became the boss of the FDA, came from the same medical school. So they work closely together, and perhaps there is something to do with the general action against us. It would be inconvenient for Dr. Prados to say that the treatment works if FDA was trying to get rid of us and when his friend was Commissioner of the FDA at that time. Perhaps that's the connection….
One of your greatest critics is Saul Green (Ph.D. Biochemistry), a retired biochemist from Memorial Sloan Kettering. In 1992 the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), published Green's article, "Antineoplastons: An Unproved Cancer Therapy." What were his conclusions about Antineoplastons?
Well, Green is not a medical doctor, he's a retired biochemist; he never reviewed our results. He got hold of some of our patents and that's what he based his opinion on.
He was hired by another insurance company (Aetna) that was in litigation with us. He's like a hired assassin. Not telling the truth. So really to argue with him is good for nothing. Even if something were completely clear he would negate it. He is simply a guy who was hired by our adversaries. He would do whatever they paid him to do.
Paul Leverett was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 brain stem tumor in May 1999. The prognosis was that he would probably be dead before the end of 1999. Orthodox medicine gave him no hope of survival.
Paul was given the maximum amount of radiation he was capable of receiving. It slowed the tumors growth slightly, but this did not alter Paul's prospects for survival at all.
After completing some research on the Internet Paul learned about Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons. Paul began taking Antineoplastons intravenously, administered by his wife, in September 1999. After 6 weeks Paul's tumor had grown by only 2 %, Glioblastoma's normally double in size every 2 weeks.
A PET scan in December 2000 confirmed that Paul was in complete remission. He stayed on Antineoplastons until August 2001 to ensure the tumor would not reoccur. There is just under 20% tumor necrosis remaining in his brain stem, which is probably scar tissue.
Paul's oncologist (at MD Anderson, Houston) initially wanted to show his scan's to his hospitals (MD Anderson) tumor review board. But then, for whaever reason, he refused further contact with Paul and did not go ahead with it.
The photo was taken with
his wife Jennie. Paul had a web site created in order to inform people
about his cancer experiences.
Did Green ask to look at your patients' files or even talk to any of your patients themselves?
You responded with an article with 137 references, did JAMA publish even part of it?
JAMA refused to publish the article. They decided that they would publish a short letter to the editors. And obviously this is another dirty thing, because letters to the editors are not in the reference books. If you look in the computer and try to find letters to the editor from JAMA, you'll never find it. So people who are interested will always find Green's article, but they will never find our reply to Green's article, unless they go to the library. Then they can look in the JAMA volume in which the letter was published, and then they will find it. So many doctors were asking me why I did not respond to Saul Green's article because they never found my letter to the editors.
Are they obligated to publish your rebuttal?
Certainly they are, because they put Green's article in JAMA in the first place, they accepted it without any peer review and then they did not allow me to honestly respond to it. I should be allowed to publish my response to the article in JAMA.
At the time of the publication Green was working as a consultant to Grace Powers Monaco, Esq., a Washington attorney who was assisting Aetna insurance agency in its lawsuit against you. What was the Aetna lawsuit about?
One of our patients sued Aetna because Aetna refused to pay for my treatment. Then Aetna got involved and Aetna sued us. Aetna really became involved in what you can call racketeering tactics because they contacted practically every insurance company in the US. They smeared us, they advised insurance companies to not pay for our services. So based on all of this, our lawyer decided to file a racketeering suit against Aetna. This was a 190 million dollar lawsuit against Aetna. So certainly Aetna was trying to discredit us by using people like Saul Green. And they hired him to work on their behalf.
So there was an obvious conflict of interest for Green because he worked for Monaco who was assisting Aetna. Was this information published in the JAMA article?
Green also questions the fact that you have a Ph.D.. At the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Symposium, July 1997, Atlanta, GA., he says in part
claim to a Ph.D. is questionable. Letters from the Ministry of Health,
1. At the time Burzynski
was in school, medical schools did not give a Ph.D.
He cites the people below as giving him some of this information.
1. Nizanskowski, R.
,Personal communication. Jan 15, 1992.
First of all, do you have a Ph.D.?
Well, the program in Poland is somewhat different than the US. What I have is equivalent to a US Ph.D. When a medical doctor in the US graduates from medical school, he receives a medical doctor diploma. In Poland it's a similar diploma, but it's called a physician diploma, which is equal to medical doctor. And after that, if you would like to obtain a Ph.D., you have to do independent research, both in the US and in Poland. So you have to work on an independent project, you have to write a doctorate thesis and, in addition, to that in Poland, you have to take exams in medicine, in philosophy and also you have to take exams in the subjects on which you have written your thesis, in my case this was biochemistry.
As you can see from the letter from the President of the medical school from which I graduated, this is a Ph.D..
Saul Green got information from the guys who were key communist figures in my medical school. The second secretary of the communist party in my school, hated my guts, because I didn't want to be a communist. So, somehow, Green got hold of "reputable" communist sources (laugh) to give him that information. It is exactly the President of the medical school who certified that I have a Ph.D..
So you are saying that theses people he received his personal communication from, Nizanskowski R, and Bielinski S, are both Communists, is that correct, or they were?
Not only communists, but Bielinski was one of the key players in the communist party in my medical school. So certainly he was extremely active as a communist. And, you know that communists, they usually don't tell the truth.
So there is absolutely no question about it, you have a Ph.D. and Green's doubts are totally without foundation. Has he ever acknowledged publicly the fact that you have a Ph.D.?
He's never got in touch
with me regarding this.
He is one of the top experts in this field.
Dr. Burzynski, there are undoubtedly many people alive today solely because of your treatments, but there could be many hundreds or thousands more alive if the public was given free access to your treatment. Do you see this ever happening?
I see this happening within a few years. We already have 8 clinical trials that prove efficacy of the treatment. However, we still need to treat more patients, because in each of our clinical trials it is required that we treat 40 patients. If we are talking about 78 clinical trials, then the number of patients that need to be treated is about 3,000. We are moving forward, probably in another 2 to 3 years we will have final approval.
A group shot of some
of Dr. Burzynski's patients. Please see the Burzynski Patients web
site for more information,
You may also e-mail
Mary Jo Siegel, the lady who runs the web site. Mary is also a cancer
survivor using Antineoplastons.
You have fought the government on behalf of your patients' rights for over 25 years. There must have been a few times when you considered calling it quits. What has sustained you over the years and kept you fighting?
Well you see, basically the
principle. Certainly I could practice just regular medicine and not
There are a number of good people who can make it work, so why should bad people erode and destroy the entire system. I felt that this was my obligation; I felt that I was right and even if I had to go to prison, I would fight for it, because this is the right thing to do. Otherwise I could not look at myself in the mirror. I would despise myself.
Do you think we will we ever have medical freedom of choice in the US, where we can choose whatever treatment we want for cancer?
I am not sure if this will ever happen. But at least I am hoping that the movement, which we pioneered, like this alternative medicine movement, will bring a lot of good to the American people. After all, now you have official recognition of alternative treatment, more or less, and this is because of our fight. If we wouldn't fight at that time, then perhaps it would not happen, but maybe it would happen another ten years from now.
Standard medical practices and the observations of physicians who are outside the medical establishment are extremely important, because anybody can make a discovery and improve the health of people. This I think is an important movement, but whether the people of America will ever have a chance to select whatever treatment they want, is another story.
Finally Dr. Burzynski, a hearty thanks to you for keeping your treatment available to cancer patients, for keeping your oath as a doctor and putting the patient ahead of financial gain, and of course, for saving lives. Please keep up the great work. Thank you for giving me the time to conduct this interview and inform people about your work and treatment.
Thank you.
End of interview.
Please be aware. Orthodox medicine often states that people who have recovered from cancer by unapproved methods did so due to a "spontaneous remission". This means that the cancer just disappears for no apparent reason. First of all, I do not know of any documented cases of spontaneous remissions in brain cancer. In other serious cancers it is so rare as to be unworthy of discussion.
But here is the most crucial point. A true spontaneous remission is when the cancer goes away without any treatment, either approved or unapproved. It's absurd to suggest that someone who received large amounts of Antineoplastons, and is then cancer free, had a spontaneous remission. If someone has surgery to remove a tumor and they are cancer free for years, we know it was because of the surgery.
Also remember that in many cases cancer patients turn to Antineoplastons (and other so-called alternatives) after chemotherapy and/or radiation have failed. If the patient goes into remission, oncologists often state that it was a delayed response to their treatment. This is a very convenient situation for oncologists. When their treatments fail, they still claim the credit for the patient's recovery, even after the patient has been on Antineoplastons (or other treatments) for months/years.

Interview with Kim Moreno
Thank you for taking the time to inform people about your family's experiences while your daughter Tori was taking Antineoplastons.
Tori was first diagnosed with a Stage 4 brain stem glioma in August 1998, is that correct?
What was the prognosis?
The doctor's basically told us to take her home and prepare for her to die.
Were there any records of anyone surviving with this type of cancer, using orthodox treatments?
None that they could provide us with.
How many cancer centers did you visit?
We originally were at Miller's Children at Long Beach Memorial and then went to City of Hope. We also sent her MRI's to Dr. Fred Epstein in New York to be looked at.
And they all said the same thing, Tori's brain cancer was fatal and nothing could be done? How long was she expected to live?
Yes, they all said there was nothing we could do. She was given 2-6 weeks to live.
How did you find out about Dr. Burzynski and Antineoplastons?
On the Internet on a brain tumor support group. We read a letter from a father whose daughter was on the treatment.
Did you ask your doctors about Burzynski? Had they heard of him or researched his treatment?
Yes, we asked all of them about it. Most frowned at the idea, the oncologist refused to see her if we took her to see Dr. Burzynski. The only one who told us that he thought Dr. B might have a good chance with helping us was Dr. Fred Epstein.
When did you first visit him?
In October 1998
Did he tell you he could cure Tori?
No. He said he thought Antineoplastons
would help her, but he wasn't sure he had enough time. He was very
upfront and honest with the statistics he had with her type of cancer
but offered no promises.
I can't even remember what dose she ended up on when she was taking it intravenously.
What were the side effects? In the photos you sent me, Tori is greatly enlarged, I assume due to fluid retention. Is that what it was? How was that alleviated? Were there any other side effects due to the Antineoplastons?
We always had to monitor her potassium and sodium. So, she had to drink a lot of water and therefore we went through a lot of diapers. Those were the worst of the side effects. In the picture, she was so large due to being on Decadron, which we were able to wean her off of in January 1999.
Were you surprised when Tori started responding?
Yes, I have to say I was. It
is hard to believe something great is going to come out of something so
painful. I guess she taught me not to lose faith in life.
Immediately. It had shrunk in size by 20% after the very first MRI, which I believe was in 6-8 weeks…it's been a long time and a lot of MRI's later.
For how long did Tori continue to take Antineoplastons intravenously? Did you administer this yourself at home?
She took them through IV for 2 years and yes; we did this all at home.
Does your insurance company pay for the treatment? Did they try to avoid paying for it?
No, they do not pay for the treatment.
I understand Tori is 5 today. Is she still taking Antineoplastons? Has the tumor completely gone?
Yes, she just turned five in June. She still takes Antineoplastons orally…. she takes 40 capsules a day. Her tumor has decreased in size by 86% and they believe what is left may be scar tissue.
Has Tori suffered any permanent side-side effects from Antineoplastons?
Not one. In fact, it decreased her symptoms dramatically and never caused her any harm.
So Tori is cancer free and side effect free today?
This is an incredible story Kim. Your child was diagnosed with a fatal brain cancer and the best oncologists and surgeons in America told you it was hopeless. Yet you found a cure for your child, without the billions, and so-called cancer specialists, that the NCI has at its disposal. Have any oncologists or doctors asked you about Dr. Burzynski's treatment?
They tend to ask very quietly, but never really respond to what I have to tell them. There is curiosity there, just no one is really willing to step up to the plate and believe that the antineoplastons had something to do with her survival.
What do they say now that Tori is alive and well?
The neurologists told us that sometimes it happens and they called it "spontaneous remission". Again, I asked them to provide some statistics and there were none to be seen.
Yes, again with no intelligent response.
So they are quite content to administer the same cancer causing, toxic treatments, when they know about your daughter's success with Antineoplastons?
Absolutely. It amazes me that some of them can sleep at night.
Has your opinion about the medical profession, specifically cancer specialists, changed since Tori's recovery? If it has, in what manner?
Yes, it has changed a lot. I guess the biggest change would be that I no longer sit back and believe anything a doctor tells m e and that we have to take our healthcare into our hands by searching for legitimate options. I believe we have the right to choose.
What do you think about the fact that some 3,000 children in the US (untold thousands worldwide) this year will be diagnosed with some form of brain cancer, and their families will have to face the same horror you did, the horror of losing a child. But virtually all of them will not be told about Antineoplastons, the treatment that cured Tori?
It really makes me sick to my stomach. That is why I want to talk to anyone who wants to listen about Tori's Story
Finally, I commend you and your husband for finding a way to cure your daughter, when all the "experts" said it was hopeless. You gave her life when she was born, and then you saved her life by finding Antineoplastons.
I thank you once again Kim for answering my questions and sending me the photos of Tori. Give my best to your family.
Gavin Phillips opinion
Here we come to the most crucial questions of all. Why did the FDA try their utmost to ruin Dr. Burzynski by involving him in 4 court cases? Why did the NCI make certain Burzynski's clinical trials failed by diluting his treatment and enrolling patients who were the least likely to respond to Antineoplastons? If this was a one-time only event, we could dismiss it as an aberration; on overzealous government agencies. But the persecution of Dr. Burzynski is not an aberration, but the norm. There have been many well-documented cases in the last 70 some years of doctors/healers who discovered an effective cancer treatment, only to find the full force of the cancer agencies trying to destroy them and their discoveries. I have learned about several during my research. Dr. William Koch/Glyoxylide, Dr. Andrew Ivy/Krebiozen, Harry Hoxsey method/herbs, Royal Rife/radio waves, Ernst Krebs/ Laetrile/Amygdalin, Gaston Naessens/714 X, Dr. Lawrence Burton/Immuno-Augmentative Therapy, Dr. Max Gerson method/diet.
What, if anything, does Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons have in common with these other treatments? Most of them are natural; all of them are inexpensive to produce, especially when compared to the enormous costs of conventional treatments. If cheap cancer treatments with virtually no side effects were allowed to freely compete with the cancer causing offerings of the pharmaceutical companies, the outcome is obvious. The pharmaceutical companies, and the hospitals that administer their drugs, will lose tens of billions in profits. And this I believe is the reason Dr. Burzynski, and the people who have gone before him, have been publicly vilified as "quacks" and their treatments discredited. The fact is that the pharmaceutical companies control American medicine, and they are only interested in treatments from which they can derive a profit.
Every cancer patient in America, and the world, should have free access to Antineoplastons. It is intolerable, not to mention totally un-American, to give a profit obsessed industry a monopoly over Americans healthcare. Nobody should have the right to force toxic chemicals down our family's throat, especially when Dr. Burzynski's treatment has proven effective (for some cancers) and does not have appalling side effects.
One point, in which I disagree
with Burzynski about, is the possibility of medical freedom of choice
happening in America. It would happen in a year or two if enough Americans
demanded it. You can help make that a reality. Please forward this interview
to as many people as you know, as well as media outlets. Around ten thousand
Americans die every week from cancer; we simply must have medical freedom
of choice. Thank you for your time.

The North Lake facility is one of more than a dozen Entenmann's plants in the United States. It's been making bagels, some Danish pastries and other sweet goods.
Toronto-based George Weston blames a decline in the North American sweet tooth for its decision to close the plant. About 333 employees will be put out of work.
The company announced its decision today as it reported earnings that fell by nearly a third in the second quarter.
The poor results were blamed on higher costs and the popular dieting trend away from carbohydrates, particularly white bread and cakes.

I have a cousin in law who hates the name we picked for our baby. He keeps either wise cracking about it trying to talk one or both of us into changing it. Now, I've told him numerous times his opinion does not count. The baby's name is going to be what we picked out and no amount of huffing and puffing from him is going to change it. He has been told this over and over again. I've told him nicely. I've been polite but firm. I've even gotten rude. I've tried ignoring him. Nothing has worked. So, short of punching him on the lip, do any of you have any suggestions?
how do I shut him up?
Posted 11/17/2012
Given that he's your boss and switching jobs is probably not practical, can you just agree to change the name, but not do it? That's probably a little unicorn, but I'd probably try it for the peace. "Sure sure cousin, we'll name the kid xxxxxyyyy." Then you and your husband name it Daniel when it comes. Hopefully when baby comes and naming is over he'll let it go, and if not it is a way stronger HR case if he's mocking your actual child's name and not just a hypothetical.

I attended my first ever spinning class today.
(It will also be my last, since it didn't appeal to me at all, but that's another story... )
However, sitting on a spinning bike in front of 19 other people for two hours, people tend to notice the pedalling styles others have.
I've found that I feel most comfortable at relatively high cadences. Above 90 is almost always the case, and usually, I'm well over 100 as well. On an exercise bike, I tend to average about 115-120.
That was the case today, as well, and I probably reached 130-140 during a few of the "sprints", although I had no cadence meter or anything like that, so I'm not sure about the exact cadence.
Anyway, both during and after the class, several different people approached me and told me to slow down my cadence. They said that it might feel all right now, but in a few years, my joints will deteriorate due to the high-speed repetitive stress they're subjected to when using higher cadences.
Presumably, they're thinking of arthrosis and arthritis, as well as micro-tearing of ligaments.
Is there any truth to this?
If you claim there is, can you also provide a link to a reputable source to back that up?
If it's nonsense, I'd be equally grateful for facts supporting that view as well!

Hugh Chalmers and Deborah Evans
Entrepreneur finds that age and experience does matter
A training enterprise and consultancy in the justice sector is growing quickly and confidently with the help of mentoring support from Leading Lights mentor, Hugh Chalmers.
One of the most difficult parts of mentoring is finding the right person or 'perfect match'.
Hugh Chalmers is a partner in the Corporate and Commercial Law Group of Meyer Vandenberg and heads the Employment and Workplace Relations practice. With over 30 years' commercial experience in Sydney, overseas and Canberra, Hugh provides advice and representation on corporate, employment and governance matters to private, public sector and not for profit organisations at all stages of their development.
Lighthouse Business Innovation Centre suggested a mentorship match with Deborah Evans, a Djaru/Gidja woman from the Kimberley region and survivor of the Stolen Generation practices embarking on a new journey to establish her own business for the first time.
Deb said, "Through mentorship from Hugh, I am confident about the important decisions I need to make to develop Tjilari Justice."
"I am not sure that I would have started a business if I knew how much work it would be to develop the business structure and systems."
"Having worked in legal areas, I have been able to have productive conversations with Hugh around discussions of company structures and contractual agreements."
Tjilari Justice was founded by Ms Evans in 2013. She is an active participant of the Brilliant Idea program and recipient of an ACT Microcredit loan to help start her business. Ms Evans brought significant experience working in correctional education settings and community legal services to her business idea.
"Being prepared to take risks, getting out there and being seen are important in growing a business. If I hadn't taken a risk to fund my first community workshop, the work I am now doing would never have eventuated." Deb said.
"Becoming an entrepreneur continues to be a steep learning curve for me. It certainly is very different to working in an organisation where things are provided for you," Deb said. "When you start off as a sole trader, you are alone. Being able to talk with others about progress and growth is so important. "Having a mentor can provide the opportunity to affirm that you are doing things right and heading in the right direction."
Hugh said "Deb has broad and unique experience in many areas and a deep understanding of Aboriginal issues which can be of benefit to whole community. Her decision to start Tjillari Justice as a business already is achieving significant results. Deb is knowledgeable and committed but is also prepared to seek, listen and act on advice and suggestions."
A good business mentor is someone who can listen, empathise and provide assistance where appropriate to keep the business moving in the right direction. Their role is to encourage an entrepreneur to improve their skills and build a successful business.
"Mentors should listen and not preach."
"One of the most rewarding aspects of being a mentor is how much you can learn, particularly in areas you are not familiar with. There is also great satisfaction for a mentor to see a business grow and adapt to achieve its objectives as Tjillari is doing."
