Lung Cancer
*Links on this page will take you to content on the cancer.net website. Links will open in a new window.
Lung cancer affects more than 200,000 Americans each year. Although cigarette smoking is the main cause, anyone can develop lung cancer. Lung cancer is always treatable, no matter the size, location, whether the cancer has spread, and how far it has spread.
About the lungs
When a person inhales, the lungs absorb oxygen from the air and bring the oxygen into the bloodstream for delivery to the rest of the body. As the body's cells use oxygen, they release carbon dioxide. The bloodstream carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs, and the carbon dioxide leaves the body when a person exhales. The lungs contain many different types of cells. Most cells in the lung are epithelial cells. Epithelial cells line the airways and make mucus, which lubricates and protects the lung. The lung also contains nerve cells, hormone-producing cells, blood cells, and structural or supporting cells.
About lung cancer
Lung cancer begins when cells in the lung change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor, a lesion, or a nodule. A lung tumor can begin anywhere in the lung. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. Once a cancerous lung tumor grows, it may or may not shed cancer cells. These cells can be carried away in blood or float away in the fluid, called lymph, that surrounds lung tissue. Lymph flows through tubes called lymphatic vessels that drain into collecting stations called lymph nodes, the tiny, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection. Lymph nodes are located in the lungs, the center of the chest, and elsewhere in the body. The natural flow of lymph out of the lungs is toward the center of the chest, which explains why lung cancer often spreads there first. When a cancer cell moves into a lymph node or to a distant part of the body through the bloodstream, it is called metastasis.
Types of lung cancer
There are two major types of lung cancer: non-small cell and small cell.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC comes from epithelial cells and is the most common type. NSCLC may also be described based on the type of epithelial cell where the cancer starts. Adenocarcinoma starts in cells that produce mucus. Squamous or epidermoid carcinoma begins in the cells that line the airways. Large cell carcinoma begins in cells other than the two types described above.
Small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer begins in the nerve cells or hormone-producing cells of the lung. The term "small cell" refers to the size and shape of the cancer cells as seen under a microscope.
It is important for doctors to distinguish NSCLC from small cell lung cancer because the two types of cancer are usually treated in different ways. The type of lung cancer, such as NSCLC or small cell, and stage of the disease (discussed later in the Stages section) determine what type of treatment is needed.

azathioprine - injection, Imuran
GENERIC NAME: AZATHIOPRINE - INJECTION (ay-za-THYE-oh-preen)
BRAND NAME(S): Imuran
Warning | Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
WARNING: Long-term use of azathioprine may infrequently increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer (e.g., skin cancer, lymphoma). This risk is higher in people using azathioprine after an organ transplant and in children/young adults being treated for certain bowel diseases (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis). You must be closely monitored by your doctor during treatment and regularly afterwards if your doctor stops treatment with this medication.
Azathioprine may also cause serious (rarely fatal) blood disorders (decreased bone marrow function leading to anemia, low number of white blood cells and platelets). It can lower your body's ability to fight an infection.
Keep all medical and laboratory appointments. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop any of the following signs: unusual skin changes, change in the appearance/size of moles, unusual growths/lumps, swollen glands, swollen or painful abdomen, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, unexplained itching, signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), easy bruising/bleeding, or unusual tiredness.

Self-consciously rebellious and defiant, punk rock emerged in the 1970s as a subculture that rejected what it saw as the overblown and outdated mythology of rock and roll history dominated by male performers. This new punk attitude opened doors for women to actively engage rock and roll culture in fresh and exciting ways. From Patti Smith to Bikini Kill, Siouxie Sioux to L7, female musicians claimed punk as their own into the 1980s and 1990s and created music that challenged listeners to listen in a new way, to challenge long held beliefs and to redefine the position of women in society.
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
As part of the Rock Hall's annual Black History Month celebration, we will explore the complicated and changing roles of women in hip-hop. From early pioneers (Sha-Rock and Roxanne Shanté) to the game-changing artists of hip-hop's second wave (Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah) to today's leading innovators (Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott), women have continually (and effectively) worked to have their voices heard in a genre too often dominated by men. From marginalized artists to multi-platinum performers, this Rock and Roll Night School will examine the undeniable, yet often overlooked, impact and influence of women in hip-hop – then and now.
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Madonna's rise to pop music dominance in the 1980s set the stage for a pop explosion – but not without its own controversies and questions regarding what was "acceptable" behavior for women in music and society. Fashioning her own image as a sexually confidant woman Madonna moved the post-punk battle into the area of mainstream popular music, a move that resulted in an entire new generation of pop icons including Britney Spears, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. These performers altered the pop landscape and challenged the category of rock in the post Madonna world. This Rock and Roll Night School will explore what it means for female performers to challenge conventions while also situating themselves as icons within popular culture.

Recipe of the Week: Guacamole Hummus!
Appetizers: I'm obsessed with them. Anything portable, vegan, and lovely that comes packaged in an edible wrapper (like say this, or this, and definitely this) has my undying love. And there's one other type of appetizer that owns a piece of my ? : Anything that can be eaten with a munchable scoop. Right?!
If you're anything like me, you can devour guacamole or hummus faster than the Glee cast can break out into song. So … why not combine them? *Drool*
I give you: Guacamole Hummus!
Here's what you need:
- 1 whole avocado, de-pitted, with the skin removed
- 1 15.5 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Water
- 1 to 2 stalks green onion, chopped (optional)
Throw the chickpeas, avocado, garlic, olive oil, and salt into a blender. Add 2 tablespoons water and blend. Continue with the water/blend process until you reach the desired consistency. Transfer dip to a bowl and stir in green onion, if using. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies.
This recipe is ridiculously easy, so get to making and eating it! It's also great as a spread on a sandwich with some veggies and vegan deli slices—just sayin'.
Happy eating!

This February 24th (2013) is going to be a Day of Solidarity for Black Nonbelievers. For an explanation of what that means and how you can participate, read the great piece by its organizer, Kimberley Veal (writing as a guest on Greta Christina's blog): "Come Out and Join in."
I'd also love it if you scheduled yourself to throw some financial support to the educational charity drive run by our own Black Skeptics Los Angeles, who are providing scholarships to poor families sending their first generation to college: see Secular Community Steps Up for South L.A. Scholars. For more on the details of that 501(c)3 charity (which is an awesome idea), see Black Atheists Step Up. If they get a bunch of donations on that day, it will make a valuable statement.
But at the very least, make this February 24th a day to look up something to read online about the history of black atheism and nonbelief, and talk about it (online or elsewhere). You can watch a video at BlackAtheistsAmerica or google one of the prominent black atheists currently in our movement (Greta Christina's list will soon be updated, but it's a great place to start, with further links on minority atheism generally: see Atheists of Color; in fact, if you know any active black atheist speakers not on that list, let her know), or google up what you can on one of the prominent historical figures listed at the Black Atheists website. Not all on that historical list were atheists, but all have sternly questioned aspects of religion.
My favorite, and actually the historical person I most admire (and that's person, of any race), is Frederick Douglass, whose first autobiography everyone should read. It's inspiring, astonishing, and superbly written, and today barely costs more than a dollar: see Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. That's right. He was an escaped slave, who secretly taught himself to read when it was a death penalty offense. His book tells the tale. He never renounced belief in God or Christianity, but he was well known for his harsh criticisms of religion, and for such witticisms as "I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs."
On religion in general he once declared such words as we never much hear from top Christian leaders today:
I love that religion that is based upon the glorious principle, of love to God and love to man; which makes its followers do unto others as they themselves would be done by. If you demand liberty to yourself, it says, grant it to your neighbours. If you claim a right to think for yourselves, it says, allow your neighbours the same right. If you claim to act for yourselves, it says, allow your neighbours the same right. It is because I love this religion that I hate the slave-holding, the woman-whipping, the mind-darkening, the soul-destroying religion that exists in the southern states of America. It is because I regard the one as good, and pure, and holy, that I cannot but regard the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. Loving the one I must hate the other, holding to the one I must reject the other, and I, therefore, proclaim myself an infidel to the slave-holding religion of America.
Even this atheist says "Amen."

Deborah Anthony
Deborah Anthony Anchor link to John Martin video Watch a video about her teaching style
Meet Deborah Anthony
Assistant Professor,
Legal Studies
- B.A. Philosophy: University of Utah
- M.A. Government: University of Texas – Austin
- J.D. Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
- I began college intending to be a doctor but experienced a major change of plans when I fell in love with philosophy after taking an "I believe I owe it to students to help them reach their fullest potential." ethics class out of curiosity. I then went on to law school, planning to forego a lucrative salary in favor of representing the disadvantaged. I worked with low-income individuals in a variety of legal matters for several years, which I found very fulfilling. But when I began teaching part-time on the side, there was no going back for me. Practicing law was "work," and teaching was the fun part. So I moved into teaching full-time and eventually ended up here at UIS teaching Legal Studies. I have two daughters and too many pets if you ask me (and not enough if you ask them).
Interesting facts:
- I plowed my way through college and graduate school. I was not of legal drinking age my entire first year of law school. By the time I had finished law school and was practicing law, I had just turned 23, with plenty of time to change careers a time or two.
- Despite having lived in Park City, Utah – five minutes from some of the best ski resorts in the country – I never took up skiing. I have already broken five bones at different times and wanted to save my legs. So far, so good.
Research interests:
- My broad interests are in Constitutional law and race, gender, and class, but lately I've been focusing more on gender and class. I am particularly interested in employment discrimination, including employment practices that may not intentionally harm select groups but still tend to have that effect.
Major project underway:
- I am currently working on a project examining parental leave policies at colleges and universities nationwide, and whether they exhibit discriminatory or illegal elements. I am also working on an analysis of name change laws across the country that allow women to easily change their name upon marriage but do not always allow men to do the same thing.
- I am also the newly-appointed Co-Director of the UIS Pre-Law Center.
Learning philosophy:
- I believe I owe it to students to help them reach their fullest potential. Even the best students have room for improvement, and I'm not doing my job if I don't challenge them to go further. As such, I have a reputation as being tough, but fair. I try to make assignments meaningful and practical, and I aim to get students actively engaged in the learning process. My classes typically involve a lot of discussion, group work and other activities to not only keep people awake but interacting with each other and with the material. Most importantly, I aim to help students learn to think critically and independently. They will ultimately remember little of the details and facts learned in class, but hopefully the skills of critical thinking will last a lifetime.
What is it like to take my class?
Advice to prospective students:
- Follow your passion. Take some time to find out what you really love – not just what you (or your family) have always planned on. Use your first two years – or more, if necessary – to explore. Don't be afraid to try new things and to change your path if you think it's right. You can do this and still be practical about it. You will be exposed to things you've never experienced and you should take full advantage of that. In the end, if it's forced, it won't work. Do what makes you happy, and the rest will fall into place.

Almost all of the websites/apps uses the custom built popup (HTML) to show menu,messages,page load etc... but, some of the apps still insist on opening the same in a browser based popup window (which is annoying ofcourse).
I know both has advantage and disadvantage to each other.
So, my question is, what is the best popup method? what would be the UI experience on each of them. which one will you vote up?
(OK firefox window may not be good e.g to show but its to give an idea of traditional window :) )

text: "Thank you. First I just want to say what an honor it is to be part of the first gathering at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I just want to tell you what Buddy Holly meant to me. I was 12 years old, and I was working at a beach resort - a 12-year-old kid's type of job - and that voice and guitar came up over the PA (we had a radio.) I went out and bought 'That'll be the day,' started learning the words. A few months later, bought the album, and that album set in course in musical history some strange events, I think. There was a group pictured on the cover. There was a guy with a Strat (wasn't that bad?) and three other guys; it was a group. And it was the first time you saw a group in rock and roll. 'I'm gonna have a group.' Over in Liverpool, same thing was going on with four other guys. They named their group the Beatles because Buddy Holly's group was called the Crickets. 1964 - or '63 actually - these four guys chose to end their great song 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' with the little syncopation Buddy Holly used in the chorus after the solo. All you guys who play rock and roll know what I'm talking about. 'That'll be the day when, dah dah dah...' Well, about 20 years later, a kid was writing a song about how it feels to be back, sitting in a field, and he ended his song with the same riff - came from the same place. I think my point is that we all of us, each of us, are people that are made up of the people that we love and the people that we admire. We take those reflections and hopefully grow from those. I think that's why we're here in all ten cases tonight - and it's my great honor to induct Buddy. Anyway, at this point, I would like to call his wife Maria Elena Holly to the stage. Maria, it is my great honor to induct Buddy Holly into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

Reviews for Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
"When I made these, I added a couple more Tbsp of butter and some extra cocoa. They weren't the best cookies I have ever had, but they weren't bad. The kids loved them. The molasses was overpowering in the raw dough, but not the finished cookies, at least not for us. I would make them again."
"I thought these were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe. I replaced the regular flour with Gluten Free "cup for cup" flour since i have celiac. I made these with my mother and we both agree that this recipe is far superior than our other gingerbread recipe. The chocolate just give it a flavor boost..it does not overpower the cookie flavor what so ever. I didn't have any problem with it being dry. I used a lighter molasses too. Anyway great recipe in my opinion."
"Sorry, but I didn't like these at all :( I should've clued in when I read the ingredients that they weren't 'gingerbread' in flavor when it didn't call for any 'ginger'. The gingerbread only refers to the shape. That aside, I continued making them as I thought in light of the ratings, they might be nice. Unfortunately not. The taste of molasses completely overtook the flavour of cocoa. I wouldn't consider myself a master baker, but I am a confident and good one, so knew the recipe was as it called for. I made these for my son and his class as I thought the cocoa might give the cookie a nice twist, but sadly my son disliked it very much, so I didn't end up bringing them in for his classmates. I too didn't like the taste. I would say this was more of an adult flavoured cookie if you really LOVE molasses because that's all you will taste. Of course this is just my opinion and the recipe of whom this belongs to, obviously loves them. But I didn't think they were very nice. :("
"I haven't baked these yet but the dough was very, very dry. I did have to make some substitutions, shortening for butter and a homemade substitution for the molasses, but it wouldn't come together. Ended up adding 1/4 of milk. Also added ginger and allspice. Dough is chilling now."
"I made these for my German class, since I found them under German recipes. I made changes to the recipe. I found that the dough was way to dry(?), most likely due to my mistake. So, we added more liquid. The taste was way too molassesy, so since the add of the liquid made it too sticky we added more cinnamon and cocoa. Now, it had a hint of molasses, which tasted a whole lot better. We put it in for 6 minuets at first, but found it wasn't ready, so we put it in for another 2 minuets. All in all, the recipe was good, but it could be better. I had high hopes for this, but they feel a bit."

|Patsy Sharples Scherer
Perhaps the greatest female distance runner in Idaho track and field history, Patsy Sharples Scherer holds four school records at Idaho. Sharples Scherer didn't waste any time projecting herself as a top national runner as she took home the AIAW Division II cross country national title as a true freshman in 1980. She also went on to win the 1982 AIAW national title in the women's 5,000-meter run and earn AIAW All-America honors in the 10,000-meter run. The school records that Sharples Scherer set in her four years as a Vandal have been seemingly untouchable in the 25 seasons since she graduated. Her 10,000-meter run record of 33:34.85 is a full minute faster than the No. 2 time and her 3,000-meter time is a full 35 seconds faster than second-best. When the Vandals made the move from AIAW Division II to NCAA Division I, Scherer took it right in stride and ran to a 12th-place finish in the 10,000 meters at the 1984 NCAA Championships. Sharples Scherer's honors weren't only noticed on the Palouse, though, as she earned the 1984 Broderick Sports Award, which is given annually to the nation's top female athlete. Overall, she is tied for second all-time among Vandal women's track athletes with six career conference titles to her name.

Using vb.net, my custom tool needs to create a data table in my geodatabase to store some information for later use. The user will be in ArcMap 9.3.1 with the geodatabase up and layers displayed. I want to create the table at the same level as the dataset. I can accomplish this with the following:
gp = CreateObject("esriGeoprocessing.GPDispatch.1")
gp.AddToolbox("C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Data Management Tools.tbx")
gp.createtable_management("C:\Dan\Data\geodatabase.mdb", TableName, "", "")
However, the problem is I cannot figure out how to have the geodatabase be something other than hardcoded. How do I get the current geodatabase name and use a variable populated with that name in the createtable_management line?
I've searched high and low for two days now with no luck.

Police still searching for Love Grove woman
Published: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 5:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 5:52 p.m.
Wilmington police are continuing to search for an 83-year-old Love Grove woman who has been missing since Sunday afternoon.
Alma Lawson was last heard from around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, when she told a friend she was headed to her residence in the 1500 block of Stanley Street. Lawson lives with her son, who reported her missing.
"Time is against us in a situation like this. She's elderly, somewhat frail, and we're assuming she's been outside for some time," Lt. Tom Witkowski said. "As time goes by, the less chance there is of finding her alive."
Witkowski said there is no indication of foul play, and Lawson's disappearance is still being investigated as a missing persons case at this time.
A Silver Alert for Lawson was issued Monday morning.
When she was last seen, the 5-foot-5-inch woman was wearing a lavender shirt, black pants and a black jacket.
A family member said Lawson is believed to be experiencing the early signs of dementia.
Police have been solely targeting the Love Grove area, concentrating on the nearby cemeteries and surrounding water. Bounded by creeks and by a number of old railroad rights-of-way, Love Grove has only one access route – along King Street.
"We've been through it pretty thoroughly so far, but we just don't think she got very far," Witkowski said.
If anyone has seen Lawson or has information about her whereabouts, police are asking the public to call the department at 343-3600.

How would you rank Beyoncé?
What other guys thought:
Watch the video
Why is Beyoncé desirable?
In 2013, Beyoncé officially transcended pop stardom to become something akin to royalty. Her innovative "visual" album proved that no marketing is necessary for a star of her caliber, and convinced us for the umpteenth time of her general unattainable perfection. We've got to hand it to Jay Z -- we'd feel insufficient in her presence.

Research, Education, Detection & MoreAccording to the most recent analysis, 20 organizations raised a collective $1.06 billion for breast cancer. And only half operate efficiently, notes Sandra Miniutti of charitynavigator.org, a charity evaluator. There's even one outfit that spends less than 30 percent of its budget on programs and an astonishing 65 percent on fund-raising expenses.See how your favorite charities stack up Because there's no coordination at the national level of what research gets done or how funds are allocated, we need to do some homework before we purchase a product or pledge a contribution. Make sure you know what the scientists on the front lines of breast cancer research are citing as their primary interests in finding a cure and treating those afflicted. To give you some ideas about where your money might be well spent, we asked 13 breast cancer experts one question: If you had unlimited funds, which path would you pursue in the fight against breast cancer? Get ready for some surprising answers. 1. Create the right research environment. "I'd do what wealthy people did during the Renaissance to get great art: look for talented people and give them enough money to be creative. I'd put together a team of clinicians, scientists, nurses, patient advocates, ethicists, philosophers, and artists. I'd give them the funds to follow their imaginations without having to write grants, or please authority figures, or worry about how their colleagues respond. I think that would dramatically improve our ability to get to the bottom of this." — Larry Norton, MD, deputy physician-in-chief for breast cancer programs, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center2. Figure out the next magic pill. "Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors have really made a difference in survivorship. Yet there are still women whose cancer doesn't respond to these drugs. So, I'd want to focus on why cancer becomes resistant to them. Then we could probably figure out a medication to overcome that. I think this would directly benefit about 70 percent of women with breast cancer that is sensitive to hormonal treatment." — Stephen E. Jones, MD, medical director, US Oncology Research 3. Educate patients better. "We need to do better monitoring so patients get good information, not fluff. And the nice thing is, education doesn't take a lot of money — it takes creativity." — Edith Perez, MD, director, Breast Cancer Program, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida4. Track the development of the breast. "No one has really looked at the normal changes that can affect stem cell behavior in the breast throughout its development. There's good evidence that some cancers begin in one or more stem cells and some evidence breast cancer may begin this way as well. Therefore I believe that understanding the normal regulation of mammary epithelial stem cells will help guide cancer research." — Gloria Chepko, PhD, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Georgetown University5. Go beyond early detection to predetection. "The more we understand how cancer develops, the more we will be able to prevent it from ever growing. My research uses magnetic resonance imaging. Currently, we use maybe five percent of its capacity. If we can develop the technology to show the whole metabolism technology to show the whole metabolism of the tissue — much more than MRI does now — we'd have a noninvasive way to determine how the disease starts." — Professor Hadassa Degani, Weizmann Institute of Science 6. Help the uninsured. "I would make sure that every woman without insurance could afford a mammogram and have access to healthcare. I see women undergoing cancer treatment who are evicted because they don't have jobs that continue to pay them while they are off work for treatment. It's more common than you think." — Geri Blair, 21-year survivor and founder of Minority Women with Breast Cancer Uniting Inc.7. Identify even more breast cancer types. "We know that breast cancer represents a whole family of molecularly distinct, biologically distinct diseases. Our recent study found that young African-American women are more than twice as likely to get one of the more aggressive subtypes (the so-called basal-like cancers) compared with any other patient group and significantly less likely to get the least aggressive subtype (the luminal).
12 Ways to Fund the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Dozens of charities work for a breast cancer cure. But before you run another race or buy another pink product, find out where your money's going. Here, we asked some of the most interesting minds in medicine for their priorities for breast cancer funds.

Propane autogas fuels this work truck and walk behind mower. More than 270,000 vehicles across the United States depend on public propane refueling stations or private stations located at a fleet's home base.
Credit: Propane Education & Research Council
Government agencies are increasingly specifying propane autogas, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), for buses, lawn mowers, pickup trucks, police cars, shuttles, and street sweepers.
A growing portfolio of products from manufacturers and aftermarket upfitters provide equivalent horsepower, torque, and towing capacity as conventional fuels at a much lower cost of ownership. Although known as propane, when used to fuel vehicles it's called propane autogas because it's calibrated for on-road use.
Vehicles that run on propane autogas emit 12% less carbon dioxide, 20% less nitrogen oxide, and up to 60% less carbon monoxide than gasoline vehicles.
They work like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited engines. Propane is stored as a liquid in a relatively low-pressure tank (about 150 psi) and travels along a fuel line into the engine compartment. The supply of propane to the engine is controlled by a regulator or vaporizer, which converts the liquid propane to a vapor. The vapor is fed to a mixer located near the intake manifold, where it is metered and mixed with filtered air before being drawn into the combustion chamber where it's burned to produce power, just like gasoline.
—Michael Taylor (email@example.com) is director of autogas business development for the Propane Education & Research Council (www.propanecouncil.org) in Washington, D.C.
Propane autogas vehicles can either be conversions from gasoline vehicles or purchased new. Therefore, the first step in specifying a vehicle is deciding on a dedicated or bi-fuel vehicle and then converting a small test fleet to determine the right setup.
• Dedicated: Manufactured to run solely on propane autogas.
Generally about 10% more than diesel counterparts.
Good for fleets with a defined route and centralized refueling.
Propane autogas fuel tanks on a work truck. Propane autogas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a clean-burning fossil fuel that can be used to power internal combustion engines. LPG-fueled vehicles, such as this work truck, produce fewer toxic and smog-forming air pollutants.
Product offerings used to limit a fleet manager's ability to take advantage of alternative fuels, but the number of light- and medium-duty propane autogas vehicles has surged in recent years. Engines and fueling systems are also available for heavy-duty vehicles like street sweepers and transit buses.
Refueling is comparable to filling up with gasoline or diesel. The main difference is that a propane autogas nozzle is threaded into the fuel tank to eliminate spillage and prevent fuel theft.
Accessibility also has been a concern of fleet managers. But with around 2,500 refueling stations, such as gas stations and hardware stores, propane is readily accessible and is the only alternative fuel with fueling stations in all 50 states. To find locations in your state, visit the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center.
Although you'll have to add propane autogas equipment to your existing fuel stations, federal incentives cover up to 30% of the installation cost. Some propane retailers will pick up the cost when a fleet agrees to a fuel contract. Costs will depend on the contract and equipment complexity.
Fifteen propane autogas refueling stations can be installed for the cost of one compressed natural gas station.
Technicians can service propane autogas engines using the same diagnostic tools as with gasoline.
Propane autogas requires less oil by volume than diesel and no additional filters or fluids.
Unlike gasoline and diesel, propane autogas doesn't leave lead, varnish, or carbon deposits that cause the premature wearing of pistons, rings, valves, and spark plugs. The engine stays clean, free of carbon and sludge, which means less maintenance and an extended engine life.
Enacted in January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act extended a 50-cents-per-gallon tax credit for propane autogas and up to $30,000 toward refueling infrastructure both retroactively and through the end of 2013.
State and local governments that dispense qualified fuel from an on-site fueling station are eligible for the incentive, which is applicable to fuel sold or used between Jan. 1, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2013.
Federal incentives can also be combined with state incentives and grants. For more information, consult the Alternative Fuels Data Center and Internal Revenue Service.

Trinity Upsets Women's Squash In Tough Howe Cup Semifinal 6-3
Princeton will return to the court Sunday afternoon to play for third place against Penn, who the Tigers defeated 9-0 in a closer-than-the-score-shows matchup earlier this season.
During that championship effort, Princeton kept finding ways to pull out the key close matches. Unfortunately, Trinity was the team that accomplished that just a bit better Saturday afternoon, and it started during the opening shift.
The Bantams, who didn't play Princeton during the regular season because of last weekend's winter storm, jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the first shift with wins at No. 3 and No. 6. Princeton sophomore Nicole Bunyan lost three close games in a 3-1 loss to Wee Nee Low at the No. 3 spot, while junior Lexi Saunders lost a five-game marathon. Saunders used a 12-10 win in the third to grab a 2-1 lead over Natalie Babjukova, but her Trinity opponent battled back with wins of 11-8 and 12-10 to claim a momentum-shifting win.
Princeton relied on its consistent sophomore, Hallie Dewey, to get the Tigers on the board at the No. 9 spot. After splitting the first two games, Dewey took control with wins of 11-6 and 11-5 to give the Tigers their first match.
Princeton showed its championship spirit in the second, winning twice to even the team score. Freshman Tara Harrington evened the match at 2-2 with a 3-0 win over Jennifer Pelletier at the No. 8 position; the Princeton freshman continued her strong performance in key matches by never giving up a game, including a pair of 11-9 wins.
Trinity moved back up 3-2 when Robyn Hodgson battled back from a 1-0 deficit to top Alex Lunt 3-1 at the fifth spot. Three of the four games, including the final one, were decided by two points, but Hodgson finished the match with an 11-9 victory.
Princeton junior Libby Eyre pulled off the match of the day in a showdown of 2012 All-Americas. Eyre topped former Trinity No. 1 Catalina Pelaez in five tense games, including an 11-9 win in the fifth. Eyre won the odd games, so she never let Pelaez get out in front, and Princeton was back even at 3-3.
The final shift would belong to Trinity, though. Sachika Balvani won three tight games over Alex Sawin at the No. 7 spot to move the Bantams within a match of the final, and Trinity freshman Kanzy El Defrawy finished the job with a 3-0 win over Julie Cerullo at the top spot. El Defrawy, arguably the top freshman in the country, had to fight Cerullo off in a tough second game, but she controlled the final game to clinch the win.
Trinity finished the match with a 3-2 win at the fourth spot, as Ashley Tidman rallied from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Rachel Leizman at the fourth spot.
"It was a tough day for us," head coach Gail Ramsay said. "Trinity is a strong team and they played well. As I take it all in I am truly proud of the way my team has worked together this season. They worked hard for me and for each other, they faced each opponent with a determined attitude and respect. They have exceeded all my expectations this season.
"I am looking forward to tomorrow," Ramsay added. "It will be yet another huge challenge but I know they will be back out there determined to play some great squash."

We are busy gearing up for pear harvest which will hopefully start this weekend. John is staging fruit bins in the orchard, the tractors are all tuned up, and the semi is ready to haul our fruit to the packing house to await their turn to be packed and shipped out. Most of the fruit from Sakura Ridge heads to small natural food stores up and down the west coast, to the midwest, and all points in between.
Starkrimson is the first variety to come off the trees. It is a summer pear, meaning that it will be one of the first ones at the market during the August to January pear season. All pears need some ripening time once they are picked. Summer pears, like the Starkrimson, ripen at room temperature without a long period in cold storage that winter pears require. It is also one of the few pears that change color as they ripen, turning from deep crimson to a brilliant crimson red. Their bright color and mild, sweet flavor make them perfect for fresh use in salads, on a cheese plate or with your morning cereal. Check out this link for more pear info and recipes!

I was totally excited to hear Panda was coming out with a nice Cherry Licorice flavor. I love Panda's licorice flavors, and aside from the standard black licorice, their discontinued Strawberry is sorely missed within my candy repertoire. So here's a new red licorice that could possibly take the place of the strawberry? Sign me up.
I love the packaging design. The licorice comes in a resealable 6 oz bag, which as the iconic Panda illustration on it, along with a clear image of the licorice and red cherries. It's really a pleasing design.
The first thing that told me right away that this cherry licorice is different from all the other kinda I've had before is the ingredients list: Molasses, Wheat Flour, Cherry Puree, Citric Acid, Natural Flavor, Black Carrot Juice Concentrate, Licorice Extract. See that? Cherry puree! None of those wonky medicinal tasting artificial flavors. This is the real stuff.
The pieces are a deep maroon color with a sticky texture to them. I feel a film on my hands when I handle them, but part of that could be the humidity. They're about an inch long and have that star cross section pattern to them. The pieces smell starchy with a hint of black cherry.
The texture is surprisingly thick and chewy. They dissolve after maybe 20 chews, which is a lot longer than what I was expecting. The flavor is wonderful, way more intense than I expected. It has that iconic black cherry flavor to it, not that fake "red" flavor you get with most licorice. It's oddly moist and the chew isn't sticky at all. Really lovely.
If you're into red licorice, you must try this stuff. It's awesome. My boyfriend loves it and has since polished off the bag. Try some of this and never look back at Twizzlers, I'm serious.
