Crime Statistics
We regularly publish or contribute to a series of statistical crime reports and publications, detailing specific offenses and outlining trends that can help you better understand crime threats both nationally and locally.
Crime in the U.S. is the most comprehensive analysis of violent crime and property crime in the nation. The annual publication compiles volume and rate of crime offenses for the nation, the states, and many cities and counties. It also includes arrest, clearance, and law enforcement employee data. Use the online UCR Data Tool to research crime statistics since 1985 and in some cases back to 1960.
Hate Crime Statistics presents yearly data regarding incidents, offenses, victims, and offenders in reported crimes that were motivated in whole or in part by a bias against the victim's perceived race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.
Note: Although the Uniform Crime Reporting Program applies estimation procedures to account for populations covered by reporting jurisdictions, it does not use any estimation procedures to account for hate crime data from agencies that do not participate in the Hate Crime Statistics Program.
Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) gathers data on felonious and accidental line-of-duty deaths and assaults of law enforcement officers. Tabular presentations include weapons used, use of body armor, and circumstances surrounding murders and assaults of officers.
The National Incident-Based Reporting System, or NIBRS, was created in 1991 to improve the quantity and quality of crime data collected by law enforcement by capturing more detailed information on each single crime occurrence. NIBRS has published one national publication and several specialized reports, including:

Antibody fragment imaging specialist ImaginAb signed a master service agreement with Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals, a Fortis HealthCare subsidiary that provides GMP radiopharmaceutical production services. ImaginAb is developing antibody fragment-based PET imaging agents for use in the clinical management of autoimmune diseases and cancer, and is establishing R&D and preclinical imaging capabilities in Singapore.
"The deal with Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals represents a key component in this expansion program," comments Christian Behrenbruch, Ph.D., CEO. "Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals has an excellent track record in custom radiochemistry and cGMP product manufacturing, and we are pleased to transition our ad hoc collaboration to more robust alliance."
ImaginAb's in-house pipeline includes early clinical-stage products for imaging and staging prostate, pancreatic, and breast cancers. The firm separately has over a dozen partnered programs in progress to develop companion diagnostic imaging agents for use alongside therapeutic antibody drugs in clinical trials. Partnered projects are exploiting the ability to reengineer a therapeutic monoclonal antibody or antibody-drug conjugate into an imaging agent that retains the same biospecificity of the parent product, but exhibits kinetics suitable for clinical imaging using low-cost isotopes. ImaginAb claims this ability to develop imaging antibodies that retain the same binding characteristics as the therapeutic antibody could represent a transformative technology for patient selection, monitoring treatment responses and looking for new therapeutic indications for antibodies.

That's all I'm hearing this week. After our soggy spring guaranteed a short summer, no one seems to be ready for the next season, but already, the light has a different slant and the sun sinks a little earlier. Here are some food events that might make September a little easier to swallow:
Fleming's in the Gateway has declared September a "Month of Discovery."
Fleming's has always been known for its great wine list, and particularly its wine by the glass list. But now the restaurant is introducing the Fleming's 100, a list of 100 wines by the glass.
Every Friday night will feature "Opening Night" tastings, presenting 20 different wines from the new Fleming's 100. Try all 20 of them for just $25 per guest. Plus, you get a preview tasting of the new Small Plates menu. You check each Friday's list in advance to see what's being poured, then choose the night that piques your interest most. From 5-7 p.m.; reservations required.
Plus, Wednesdays are "Winesdays:" With dinner, get 25% off any bottle from the Fleming's 100 list.
One of the best food events of the year, The 7th Annual Feast of Five Senses, will take place on Sunday, September 18, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. at Kimball Distributing Viking Showroom, 2223 South, 300 East in Salt Lake City. Seven local celebrated chefs will use the bounty of Utah's local food producers and artisans in an extraordinary evening of delicious food and conviviality to raise funds for Slow Food Utah
Feast makers for 2011 include:
* David Hammel of Liberty Heights Fresh
* Greg Neville of Lügano
* Ryan Lowder of Copper Onion
* Nathan Powers of Bambara
* Michael Richey of Pago
* Amber Billingsley of Vinto
* Letty Flatt of Deer Valley
* Uinta Beer will offer pairings
*Francis Fecteau of Libation will be pairing a wine with each course
*Harmons Grocery and Sysco are sponsoring the event.
Cost is $85 per person, with a $35 optional wine pairing and tickets are available online at www.slowfoodutah.org or by mail to Slow Food Utah, PO Box 581213, SLC, UT 84158-1213. Seating is limited so early reservations are highly recommended.
You should be feeling more upbeat about the fall now. Start getting in a corduroy frame of mind and enjoy. Cheers!

The Music app

Music apps in the Windows Store
Some of these features, like the ability to drag and drop songs or pin music to the Start screen, are available only in Windows 8.1 Update and Windows RT 8.1 Update. For more info, see How to get Windows 8.1 Update and Windows RT 8.1 Update.
With the Music app that comes free with Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, you can play and manage all of the music from your collection, including albums ripped from CDs, songs bought from other music services, and the playlists you've created.
Your music is organized in helpful categories you can browse, like the artist's name or a song's title, and you can also search for an artist, song, or album so you can quickly play whatever you want.
If you're on the desktop and you open a music file, it'll start playing in Windows Media Player for most desktop PCs. If you prefer opening music with the Music app or another program, right-click or press and hold the music file on the desktop, tap or click Open with, and then tap or click Choose default program.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)

Search for music using the Albums, Artists, or Songs tabs, and you can filter and sort by date, genre, and name.
Select a song or album, and then tap or click the Play button.
This removes whatever was in your Now Playing list. To avoid this, you can add songs to Now Playing and use it to see what's up next.
Use the controls at the bottom of the screen to play, pause, skip, and set other playback options.
If you want to listen to music while you use another app, resize the Music app and use the playback controls in the smaller window, or open a second app full-screen and use the playback controls on your keyboard (if you have one).
If you're on the desktop and you're listening to songs in the Music app, you can play, pause, and skip songs without having to open the Music app again. You can either move your mouse pointer over the Music app icon button in the taskbar, or use the media keys on your keyboard or the volume buttons on your device at any time.
Right-click or swipe across the item that you want to pin. This can be an album, artist, song, radio station, or playlist.
Tap or click More, and then tap or click Pin to Start.
Tap or click the tile on the Start screen to begin playing it immediately.
To unpin an item from Start, right-click or swipe across the item in the app, and then tap or click More. Or, right-click or press and hold the tile on the Start screen, and then tap or click Unpin from Start.
Want to create music for a certain mood or special event? Here's how:
On the left, tap or click New playlist, enter a name, and then tap or click Save.
On the left, tap or click Collection, tap or click a song, tap or click the Plus button, and then tap or click the name of the playlist.

To remove a song, select it, and then tap or click the Remove button.
You can also drag and drop songs and albums to edit your playlist. For example, you can drag and drop songs and albums from anywhere in the app to add to your playlist. Or, you can drag and drop songs within your playlist to reorder them.

Buckweat said this in part of the post of what he thought was Kirby in Misc. Discussion.
"-is in gifted, but lacks social skills, and displays some signs of autism"
That's exactly how I am. :L
I am gifted in a lot of things, but I don't show it, nor do I know how to show it easily.
People don't understand this, so people judge me without knowing my full potential....
I am good at trampolining and computing especially.
I can do at least a double backflip and get into any file/website I want on a computer.
If I show my full potential, people would then understand what I can do.
Until then, people judge me, thus, not knowing what I can do.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
There are three different terms used to define substance-related disorders, including the following:
Substances frequently abused by adolescents include, but are not limited to, the following:
Cultural and societal norms influence acceptable standards of substance use. Public laws determine the legal use of substances. The question of whether there is a normative pattern of substance use in adolescence remains controversial. Substance-related disorders in adolescence are caused by multiple factors including genetic vulnerability, environmental stressors, social pressures, individual personality characteristics, and psychiatric problems. However, determining which of these factors are primary and which are secondary in adolescent populations has not been determined. Most of the knowledge available regarding substance use and abuse comes from studying adult populations. A lack of research studying youthful substance use and abuse leaves questions concerning how it differs from substance abuse in other age groups unanswered.
Parental and peer substance use are considered two of the more common factors contributing to youthful decisions regarding substance use. The age at which adolescents begin to use alcohol is decreasing, with 25 percent of young people beginning to drink before the age of 13, according to the CDC.
Some adolescents are more at risk of developing substance-related disorders, including adolescents with one or more of the following conditions present:
The following are the most common behaviors that indicate an adolescent is having a problem with substance abuse. However, each adolescent may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of substance abuse may resemble other medical problems or psychiatric conditions. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
A pediatrician, psychiatrist, or qualified mental health professional usually diagnoses substance abuse in adolescents. However, adolescent substance abuse is believed by some to be the most commonly missed pediatric diagnosis. Adolescents who use drugs are most likely to visit a physician's office with no obvious physical findings. Substance abuse problems are more likely to be discovered by physicians when adolescents are injured in accidents occurring while under the influence, or when they are brought for medical services because of intentional efforts to hurt themselves. Clinical findings often depend on the substance abused, the frequency of use, and the length of time since last used, and may include the following:
Specific treatment for substance abuse/chemical dependence will be determined by your child's physician based on:
A variety of treatment programs for substance abuse are available on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Programs considered are usually based on the type of substance abused. Detoxification (if needed, based on the substance abused) and long-term follow-up management are important features of successful treatment. Long-term follow-up management usually includes formalized group meetings and developmentally age-appropriate psychosocial support systems, as well as continued medical supervision. Individual and family psychotherapy are often recommended to address the developmental, psychosocial, and family issues that may have contributed to and resulted from the development of a substance abuse disorder.
There are three major approaches frequently used to prevent adolescent substance use and abuse, including the following:

For a period of time in the summer of 1992, Giant Step weekly relocated to a venue called Sweet Jane that is today the Jane Hotel (legend has it that that was where survivors of Titantic where brought after the fatal accident). There was a large room, which was a like an old ballroom where somebody ran a club – I don't remember his name, but he was a shady guy at the best of times. Actually, I think his name was Guy (maybe some of the old timers can jog my memory).
Every summer in New York there used to be something called the New Music Seminar, and that year we put together four nights of Groove Academy and Giant Step shows. This was our second year putting on events during New Music Seminar – the first year we had held our events at the Village Gate and will feature that one soon in this series.
It was a pretty big undertaking putting together four nights of music. The first night we had ED O.G and da Bulldogs, a live hip-hop band called SSL, which stood for Smoking Suckers With Logic, a band called Lovehead who were a local band, and Pal Joey, the DJ who produced the track "Hot Music."

this may be the only place on the internet I can spread this amazing picture without being eaten alive
adventure time is way better than mlp why would anyone eat you because you posted this?
As an MLP fan I still laughed.
Though if they really were in a fight, Pinkie would more likely win, since she can break the laws of physics.
the only bad mlp fans are the ones how take it REALLY SERIOUSLY
Fans who take anything too seriously are annoying fans, no matter what fandom they are expressing.
The reason why MLP in particular is widespread in the "Annoying" scale is because it started on the internet, which made it spread faster and wider than a fandom that starts outside the internet, like Breaking Bad or Invader Zim. The moment anything gains a majority of teenage/college audience, it's is instantly all over the place.
if you all wanna be objective, I could step in and say that they're both cartoons for kids and you're weird for being more than slightly interested in them?

i thought i was off the pokemon forum boat with vglan. i still have no idea how i ended up here.
in all honesty lord probably has a big indirect responsibility for pd still being decently active
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

LECTURE TOPICS AND DESCRIPTIONS – Thomas S. Alexander, Ph.D., D(ABMLI)
HIV and Syphilis Serological Testing in the 21st Century
The advent of automated treponemal specific antibody assays and the 4th generation HIV assay has necessitated new diagnostic algorithms for these sexually transmitted diseases (HIV and Syphillis). While these assays have improved the overall diagnostic accuracy of testing, in certain situations a third level of testing is required increasing turnaround time and cost compared to the two levels of testing in the classic algorithms. This talk will explore the various algorithms and how well (or poorly) they perform in the clinical arena.
CSI Immunology: Case Studies from a Clinical Immunology Laboratory
Clinical laboratory directors are often faced with unusual situations that were not covered in their training. Examples include physicians ordering tests incorrectly, physicians sending the same test to more than one laboratory and receiving different results, laboratories receiving follow up specimens that are inconsistent with previous results, as well as regulatory and administrative hurdles that must be addressed. This talk will review actual clinical and administrative case histories from a clinical immunology laboratory, how they were investigated and their resolution, where applicable.
Autoantibodies in Diagnosis: Are All Methods Created Equal
Immunofluorescence (IFA) has long been the standard for detecting anti-nuclear and other autoantibodies. However, this technique is subjectively evaluated and is labor intensive. Recent attempts to automate the IFA procedure include slide preparation instruments coupled to image analysis platforms. Advances in ELISA and Multiplex techniques for autoantibody detection provide another option resulting in objective interpretations and automation, reducing the cost and requirement for experienced technologists. But does each method yield clinically appropriate, comparable results? This talk reviews clinical and laboratory strengths and weaknesses of the various methods.
Molecular vs. Serological Diagnostics Assays: When to Use Which
Infections caused by organisms which are difficult to culture have long been diagnosed by serological techniques. Molecular methods offer increased analytical and clinical sensitivity and may provide increased specificity. The molecular techniques require experienced technologists and/or additional equipment and are thus more expensive to perform. This talk will compare diagnostic regimens for many infectious diseases with recommendations as to when each method is preferred.

LECTURER'S PERSONAL STATEMENT – Thomas S. Alexander, Ph.D., D(ABMLI)
If I had to pick out one quality that I have nurtured over the past 30 years, it is an ability to make complex subjects understandable to non-specialists, and this trait is especially useful for immunology, a subject which is not easy to comprehend. Although my first exposure to immunology was in an undergraduate microbiology course, I have found that most microbiologists have only a basic understanding of the role the immune system plays in both the pathology of and the recovery from infectious diseases. As an ASM Distinguished Lecturer, I hope to improve microbiologists' knowledge and understanding of the role of the clinical immunology laboratory. I have been fortunate to practice during a shift in diagnostic technology from antibody detection to molecular methods. Each of these techniques has its place in the clinical immunology laboratory and my background gives me the ability to address the relative utility of these methods.
I have always found ASM to be a source of pertinent information provided by excellent scientists and communicators and am honored to have the opportunity to continue that tradition as an ASM Distinguished Lecturer.

White House Officials Visit Wetlands Project in City of Wilmington
Posted on 11/11/2013 4:11 pm
On Thursday, the Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Nancy Sutley, and David Agnew, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, visited the City of Wilmington to closely view the wetlands restoration and mitigation project site that will restore 22-acres of wetlands in the Southbridge neighborhood of South Wilmington.
Mayor Dennis P. Williams joined Governor Jack A. Markell, Delaware Natural Resources and Environmental Control Secretary Collin O'Mara, and local legislator, Hanifa Shabazz, of Wilmington City Council to discuss how the project looks to reduce flooding in one of Wilmington's most economically-challenged communities.
"Protecting our residents and businesses from flooding is the top priority," said Mayor Williams. "The South Wilmington wetlands project focuses on the City's most vulnerable area, and stands as an example of how successful we can be when the State and City government partner to tackle important issues."
For years, the Southbridge community in the City of Wilmington experience chronic flood issues including poor drainage, undersized or broken infrastructure and tidal effects.
"In Southbridge, we have seen record flooding that has forced evacuations and temporary closure of some businesses. While there have been flooding challenges in Southbridge for many years, more frequent storms and heavier precipitation are making things worse," said Governor Markell. "We are focused on taking strategic actions that will help transition Delaware from a position of vulnerability to one of preparedness and resilience."
To address the flooding, the City will clean out, inspect and maintain inlets; clean and inspect pipes; repair tide gates; and clean and restore east drainage swale. In addition to making improvements to the existing structure, the City of Wilmington partnered with the State of Delaware to design and build the wetlands park project.
"The President believes we have a moral obligation to leave this planet better than we found it. Across America, states, cities and communities are innovating and making the changes they need to deal with the effects of extreme weather and other climate impacts," said Agnew. "Intergovernmental cooperation is key to help ensure the federal government is doing all we can to support these efforts."
The wetlands project in the Southbridge community will improve flood control, produce clean water and offer shoreline and storm protection.
"Climate change is changing the frequency and intensity of flooding, wildfires, storms, and heat waves and threatening our health. This project is critical to protecting this community from future floods," said Sutley. "It's fitting to be here in Delaware because of the leadership of the Governor, the Natural Resources Secretary and the Mayor to take action to protect communities from potentially destructive climate impacts. We can count on Delaware for innovative ideas."

I need information about...
Here are some common side effects from treatment for carcinoma of unknown primary origin (CUP) and how to ease them. You may not have all of these. We've listed them in alphabetical order so you can find help when you need it.
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. One thing he or she is checking for is your red blood cell count. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. If your body does not have enough oxygen, you may feel tired. If your red blood cell count is low, you have anemia. Decreased red blood cell counts can be caused by small amounts of blood loss due to bleeding, by chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplants, or by the cancer itself.
If your doctor tells you that you have anemia, take these actions to feel better.
Take short rests when you're tired. Avoid long naps during the day so that you can sleep well at night.
Add mild exercise, such as walking, to your daily routine. This may help you sleep better.
Balance activity with rest. Save your energy for important tasks.
Drink plenty of water. Dehydration adds to fatigue.
Talk with your doctor about medications or treatments that may help manage your anemia.
Eat iron-rich foods such as spinach, beans, chickpeas, and red meat.
Many people may feel blue, anxious, or distressed after being told they have cancer. These feelings may continue or come back throughout treatment. All of these feelings are a normal response to cancer. However, there are steps you can take to ease your mental stress.
Talk with your family or friends.
Consider joining a cancer support group or finding a cancer "buddy" who can help you cope.
Ask your doctor about medications for depression and anxiety.
Eating well during cancer treatment can help you maintain your strength, stay active, and lower your chances of infection. When you're being treated for cancer, a diet high in calories and protein is best. The problem is that side effects of treatment can change the way food tastes to you. It can also reduce your appetite.
Try these tips to stimulate your desire to eat.
If you can, eat foods high in protein several times a day. These foods include milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, meat, fish, eggs, beans, peanut butter, and nuts. Protein helps build and repair tissue. Cancer treatments cause your body to use more protein than usual. A dietitian can help you learn what is best for you to eat and drink during your cancer treatment.
If you can, eat high calorie foods to help you maintain your weight. High-calorie foods include margarine or butter, sugar, honey, jams, jellies, cream cheese, dried fruit, gravies or sauces, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.
Get plenty of fluids to help control your body temperature and improve food elimination. In addition to water, apple juices, and other liquids, try gelatin, pudding, soups, frozen juice bars, and ice cream.
Eat small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.
Keep snacks handy to eat when you are hungry.
Eat with friends or play your favorite music at mealtime to boost your appetite.
Eat your largest meal in the morning. Many people getting treatment for cancer find this is when they have their biggest appetite.
If you can, increase your activity level. Doing so may stimulate your appetite.
On days you don't feel like eating at all, don't worry about it. Try again the next day. If you find your appetite doesn't improve in several days, talk with your doctor or nurse. There may be a medication you can take to help increase your appetite.
Chemotherapy can interfere with your body's ability to make certain blood cells called platelets. Platelets help stop bleeding when you get a cut or bruise. Without enough platelets, you may bruise or bleed too much. Tell your doctor if you notice these signs of excessive bleeding.
Unexpected bruising
Small red spots under the skin
Signs of blood in your urine (reddish or pinkish color)
Black tarry stools or blood on the toilet tissue after a bowel movement
Bleeding from your nose or gums
Vaginal bleeding not related to your period or heavier bleeding than usual during your period
Headaches or changes in vision
A warm to hot feeling in the arms or legs
If your doctor tells you your platelet count is low, you have a condition called thrombocytopenia. Take these steps to help minimize your risk of bleeding.
Check with your doctor before taking any prescription drugs, over the counter medications, supplements, or herbal medications. Many of them, including aspirin and certain herbal remedies, may further increase your risk of bleeding.
Check with your doctor before drinking alcohol.
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles so you don't cause gums to bleed.
Blow your nose gently to reduce your risk of nosebleeds.
Be especially careful not to cut yourself when using knives, scissors, clippers, or other sharp tools.
Be careful not to burn yourself when cooking or ironing.
Avoid contact sports.
Ask your doctor if you should avoid sexual activity.
Use an electric razor instead of a blade because it reduces your risk of cuts.
This may be a side effect of chemotherapy or some pain medicines. Constipation may include difficult or infrequent bowel movements. It can range from mildly uncomfortable to painful. Taking pain medications can lead to constipation. So, take these preventive actions ahead of time. These same steps will give you relief if you are already constipated.
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and prune juice.
Eat foods high in fiber, such as cereals, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Take stool softeners or a laxative only as prescribed by your doctor.
This may be a side effect of chemotherapy. Diarrhea includes loose or frequent bowel movements, or both. It may lead to dehydration. Many drugs can cause bowel changes. Take these steps to ease diarrhea.
Avoid milk and milk products such as ice cream, high fat yogurt, and soft cheese.
Avoid gas-producing vegetables, dried fruit, fiber cereals, seeds, popcorn, nuts, corn, and dried beans.
Eat low-residue, low-fiber foods such as those included in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast).
Drink more fluids, such as water and broth, to prevent dehydration.
Ask your doctor about medications that may help.
Losing your hair is known as alopecia. It can be upsetting because baldness is a visible reminder that you are being treated for cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause hair loss. Keep in mind that your hair will likely grow back after treatment, though it may look different than it did before.
Try these coping tips.
Consider cutting your hair when you start to notice some loss.
Think about getting a wig, hat, or scarf before your hair loss starts. That way, you can get a wig that matches your hair, and you'll be ready with head coverings if you choose to use them.
Because your scalp may be more sensitive to temperature and sun, protect it with sunscreen and hats or scarves.
Hot flashes may result from hormone therapy. To ease them, try these tips.
Ask your doctor about medications you can take to ease symptoms.
Try keeping a diary to identify what actions or situations trigger a hot flash. Recognizing what causes the hot flashes may help you avoid them.
Because chemotherapy can reduce the number of white blood cells in your body, it can decrease your body's ability to fight off infection.
Taking these actions may reduce your risk of infection.
Wash your hands often, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom or touching animals.
Stay away from people who are sick with an illness you could catch, such as a cold or the flu.
Avoid crowds. If you must go out, choose a time when fewer people will be out, such as during the week or late at night.
Avoid children who have recently been given "live virus" vaccines.
Do not cut or tear your cuticles because even small cuts can let in bacteria.
Take extra care when using knives, scissors, or other sharp objects.
Take good care of your teeth and gums so you don't have bleeding areas, which can allow bacteria into your bloodstream.
Do not squeeze or scratch cuts or blemishes.
Take a warm bath, shower, or sponge bath every day. Do not use harsh bath products, such as skin scrubs. Do not rub your skin too hard with washcloths or towels.
If your skin is dry or cracked, ask your doctor if lotion or oil will help.
Clean any cuts or scrapes right away. Wash them with soap and warm water, followed by an antiseptic. Continue to wash cuts and scrapes once a day until they heal.
Ask someone else to clean up litter boxes, animal waste, fish tanks, and birdcages.
Avoid standing water, such as bird baths, vases, and humidifiers, since bacteria can multiply rapidly under these conditions.
Wear protective gloves when gardening or cleaning.
Do not get any immunizations, such as a flu shot, without asking your doctor first. It is generally recommended to get a flu shot, and it is best to get one right before or after chemotherapy, when blood counts are not low. This will allow the shot to work best.
Do not eat raw or undercooked seafood, fish, meat, or eggs.
Use an electric razor instead of a blade to minimize the risk of cuts.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of these signs of infection.
A temperature of 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
Severe chills
A cough
Burning during urination
Any sores or redness
Some types of chemotherapy and hormone therapy can cause menopausal symptoms. This may be because the drugs damage a woman's ovaries. Or they may prevent the release of the female hormone, estrogen. The result may be these menopausal symptoms, even if you've not yet reached menopause.
Hot flashes
Vaginal dryness
Mood swings
Weight changes
Irregular or stopped periods
For some women, the loss of a menstrual period is permanent. If this happens to you, then you will no longer be able to get pregnant. To cope with symptoms of menopause, try these suggestions.
If needed, talk with your doctor about birth control before treatment begins.
Talk with your doctor about ways to manage menopausal symptoms. These might include using lubricants for vaginal dryness, doing mild exercise, and talking with a therapist about mood swings or signs of depression.
Report any unusual bleeding or pain to your doctor.
Continue with regular pelvic exams.
Some types of chemotherapy may cause mouth sores. These may hurt and make eating an unpleasant experience.
To prevent sores in your mouth, take these actions.
Brush your teeth after meals and before bedtime. Floss gently every day, but if you notice bleeding, talk to your doctor.
Keep your mouth and lips clean and moist.
Use sugar-free candies or gums to increase moisture in your mouth.
To ease the pain if you get sores in your mouth, take these actions.
Avoid alcohol and mouthwashes containing alcohol. They may irritate the sores.
Avoid hot, rough, or spicy foods. They may irritate the sores.
Avoid tobacco. It may irritate the sores. Smoking can also make you more susceptible to sores and can make your cancer more difficult to treat.
Ask your doctor about topical mouth medications. There are prescription mouthwashes available ("magic mouthwash") that provide pain relief.
Take over-the-counter pain medication, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen), if necessary.
Call your doctor or nurse if your temperature reaches 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. This may mean you have an infection.
Nausea or vomiting as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer may range from barely noticeable to severe. It may help you to understand the different types of nausea.
Acute-onset nausea and vomiting occurs within a few minutes to several hours after chemotherapy. The worst episodes tend to be five to six hours after treatment. The symptoms usually end within the first 24 hours.
Delayed-onset vomiting develops more than 24 hours after treatment.
Anticipatory nausea and vomiting is learned from previous experiences with vomiting. As you prepare for the next dose of chemotherapy, you may anticipate that nausea and vomiting will occur as it did previously. This triggers the actual reflex.
Breakthrough vomiting occurs despite treatment to prevent it. It may require additional treatment.
Refractory vomiting occurs after one or more antinausea treatments. It occurs because you're no longer responding to antinausea treatments.
To prevent nausea, take these actions. Most nausea can be prevented.
Ask your doctor about getting a prescription medicine to control nausea and vomiting. Then, make sure you take it as directed. If you are vomiting and cannot take the medicine, call your doctor or nurse.
If you have bothersome nausea and vomiting even though you are taking your medicine, call your doctor or nurse. Your medicine can be changed or new drugs can be added. There are many antinausea medications available.
To help ease nausea or vomiting if you have it, try these tips.
Try eating foods and drinking beverages that were easy to take or made you feel better when you've had the flu or were nauseated from stress. These might be bland foods, sour candy, pickles, dry crackers, ginger ale, flat soda, or others.
Do not eat fatty or fried foods, very spicy foods, or very sweet foods.
Eat room-temperature or cold foods. The smells from hot foods may make your nausea worse.
Ask your doctor or nurse if he or she can help you learn a relaxation exercise. This may make you feel less anxious and more in control, and decrease your nausea.
Ask your doctor or nurse about using acupressure bands on your wrists. This may help decrease your nausea.
This may be a side effect of radiation therapy. Take these steps for relief.
Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen of at least 15 SPF (sun protection factor).
Ask your doctor or nurse what kind of lotion you can use to moisturize and soothe your skin. Don't use anything on your skin within two hours after treatment. This includes lotion, soap, deodorant, sunblock, cologne, cosmetics, or powder. They may cause irritation.
Wear loose, soft clothing over the treated area. Cotton underwear can help prevent further irritation.
Don't scratch, rub, or scrub treated skin. After washing, gently blot dry.
Don't bandage skin with tape. If you must bandage it, use paper tape. Ask your nurse to help you place the dressings so that you can avoid irritation.
Don't apply heat or cold to the treated area. Bathe only with lukewarm water because it's less drying.
If you must shave the treated area, use only an electric shaver because it reduces the chance that you'll cut yourself. Don't use lotion before shaving. Avoid hair-removal products. Both can irritate your skin.
Keep your nails well trimmed and clean. This prevents scratching sensitive skin. It also lowers the risk of infection.
You may have mild problems with concentration and memory during and after chemotherapy. Being tired can make this worse.
Taking these actions may help.
Make lists and write down important information.
Use other tools to help organize your life, such as calendars, pill dispensers, or alarm clocks.
If you have trouble remembering names, directions, task sequences, etc., be certain to let your medical provider know, and ask what can be done to help improve your cognitive health. Cognitive interventions may be especially important after treatment ends.
Tiredness is a very common symptom of carcinoma of unknown primary origin and side effect from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It is also a symptom of anemia, which is a low red blood cell count. Or it can be caused from a B12 vitamin or iron deficiency. Whatever the cause, you may feel only slightly tired, or you may suffer from extreme fatigue.
Taking these actions may help increase your energy level. Fatigue can last four to six weeks after treatment ends.
If your fatigue is severe or chronic, ask for help with routine tasks that can drain your energy, such as grocery shopping or housework. Some people reduce their hours at work.
Follow the tips under "Anemia."
You may gain weight if you have hormone therapy to treat CUP. Take these actions to help manage your weight.
Increase your daily exercise. Strive to be active every day.
Eat a balanced, low-calorie diet.
Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. Be sure to drink more water. These can help fill you up--and are good for you--without adding a lot of calories.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Market Gardener
by George Thabault
We've always had a garden, usually a small one, but this was our first large-scale attempt. We bought the suburban cape-style house for its overgrown 1/2-acre garden, big blackberry patch, and view of the Adirondacks from the top of the hill. We also bought it so our two daughters would have a little more "wildness" than they had living in a 148-unit apartment complex.
We decided to go whole hog. In late summer, we cleared the 2- and 3-inch-diameter sumacs that had invaded the old garden. The nearby dairy farmer plowed and harrowed the garden, and we planted cover crops of annual ryegrass and winter rye. Then it was time to order seed catalogs. We were not only going to have a garden-to-beat-all next season, but we were going to sell plants, produce, flowers, food, and crafts at our town's Saturday farmers' market, too.
Well, we learned some things...
Label Your Plants Carefully
We learned that it is possible to grow 400 tomato plants in a backyard garden and live to tell the tale. Also, it's just about impossible to tire of simple tomato sandwiches: good bread, lettuce, mayo, and a thick slice of sweet, vine-ripened tomato. They even taste good with a cold beer.
We had 400 tomatoes because the names of many that I'd planted to sell washed off their plastic stakes. Because I didn't test the marking pen first, I had to keep and eat all the mystery tomatoes.
Know What Your Customers Want
I didn't realize how urban our little Saturday market was. Most gardeners wanted just a couple of tomato plants: one early and one late, and maybe one cherry. So for several weeks I had unsold six-packs that I ended up having to plant myself.
People want to go home and plant Today! Now! ASAP! I got compliments, not complaints, for offering only well-hardened-off plants. Several customers returned to say it was as if the plants didn't know they'd been moved.
With a little signage, we quickly sold out our stock of 'Brandywine' heirloom tomatoes at $1.50 per plant in a 3 1/2-inch pot. I'd grown about 75 and kicked myself for not growing 400 more. Through the summer, people stopped by to report that their plants were "Blossoming," "Fruiting," and "Getting nice and pink."
'Sweet Million' cherry tomato almost made us a million. Though only 20 of our 400 tomato plants were cherry types, the 'Sweet Million' plants were prolific, and the fruits were tasty. We sold them for $1.75 to $2 per pint. People with children seemed to buy them to snack on as they walked among vendors. Cherry tomatoes were a good project for our daughters, 10 and 7 years old. They picked and sold them and got to keep the cash.
I'm partial to the basic vegetables: fresh greens, sweet carrots, new potatoes, and baby squash. But many customers like the unusual. Veteran growers at the market offered garlic shoots, Asian greens, mesclun mixes, hot peppers, and lots of herbs. We grew some 'Casper' white eggplants, and they always sold out in the first hour. We tried arugula, and it sold reasonably well. On a lark, I brought some catnip starts to the market with a big sign, "Yes, we have catnip plants." People chuckled and bought them all. Lemon basil, a bit slow in germinating for us, sold well after we encouraged people to crush a few leaves under their noses. "Wow, what a smell," some customers said, "Got to have it."
We sold, almost by accident, some red-skinned scallions. They were planted from red onion sets destined to develop large bulbs. But the girls picked them at scallion size. They sold quickly and at a little premium: six for 75 cents (even though peeling a few layers off reveals an ordinary green-and-white scallion.) "I've been coming to the market for 20 years, and I've never seen a red scallion," one woman told us.
Bell peppers grew and sold well, in part because early summer here was cool and wet, and many customers bought our produce because they didn't believe they'd get any peppers from their own gardens. We tried 'Ace', 'Klondike Bell', and others. Hot peppers didn't sell as well.
It's hard to believe, but we didn't grow enough zucchini-only 80 feet of row. We sold out weekly, selling even boat-sized zukes we'd missed harvesting the week before.

Reviews for Southwest Tuna Noodle Bake
"Make that ONE teaspoon of cumin!!"
"It was very bland, as another commenter said. I added 2 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, before I even put it in the oven, because it didn't seem to have enough flavor in the ingredients. It still needs something, haven't figured out what. Maybe salsa would have been better than the green chilies. I will keep looking for the perfect tuna noodle bake."
"It was pretty good. I had all ingredients on hand. Not very filling though."
"I made the recipe but I added 1/4 cup of onions and 1/4 of diced celery, I can of Mexicorn, an extra can of tuna and used mozzarella cheese instead of the cheddar cheese. It was so creamy and delicious!"
"This is a good recipe, I like to add jalapenos and pepper to spice it up a bit more"
