But the Czech automaker was kind enough to bring its Rapid Sport concept with it to Frankfurt this week to give us the opportunity to correct that wrong by seeing it up close and bringing it to your computer, tablet, s

I love park83! Beautiful place to live, safe and pet friendly! Love the staff too!
March 13, 2016
Started off great but after about 6 months I was ready to leave. The staff does not practice great customer se Read Morervice (some do but not all). Also, you can NEVER catch the manager in office and this is different times of the day. There have been an increase number of pests in the apartments(i.e roaches) and I've NEVER had roaches in any of the places I've been in. I don't want to see them so I ordered something from Amazon and its helped some. Maintenance do not upkeep the appearance of all buildings meaning cleaning breezeways,etc. I would say, there are two tenants who are wonderful. They stand at the gate and give you breakfast on the go. They give out items like chick fil a sandwiches or bojangles sandwiches. They also give out ice cream to the tenants in the summer all for free. They had a pizza night for families, gumbo night during football games. They have a snack truck that come around handing out snacks to the tenants and this is definitely a BIG plus with the community. I love the fact that they have faux wood floors and actual granite countertops. I don't like the fact that the blinds are cheap throughout the apartments though. They really need to get back to business because right now they are slacking.

I have stayed at this hotel a large number of times since it opened. I have in the past given it glowing rankings as one of the best airport hotels in the world. As a Diamond member of Hilton, I have got excellent service and have had great experiences at this hotel. Unfortunately, it has had tremendous turnover and for the next six months as the staff are trained many aspects of the experience visitors may have will be bumpy - on my recent stay, this involved being given a room someone else was sleeping in (this also happened to someone else in my group), two cancelled guaranteed reservations, difficulty getting through to the front desk, slow check-out, etc., etc. The hotel is in a great place and it has wonderful rooms. However many aspects of being a good airport hotel go beyond the physical and include people and service and this hotel is now acting as closer to a 3 star than a 5 star. I was so frustrated by check out and the complexity of it (when people are new at things, they are slower and things go wrong) and I missed the shuttle bus (even though I was promised at check out it would wait for me and I ended up being on time for it) that I took my 70 kg of luggage and dragged it across the grass to walk to the airport instead of continuing to deal with the hotel's deteriorating service. Look, the Langham is roughly comparable to the Hilton and it may well be and probaby is a better choice for the next six months until the management issues at the Hilton are sorted out. The issues are so significant than even taxi drivers I was talking to were aware of them. I really hope this hotel gets its act together again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located just one minute away by 24-hour hotel free airport shuttle bus from both Terminal 3 and the Airport Rail Link that provides 28-minute access to the city centre, the Hilton Beijing Capital Airport is just 10 minutes away from the new China International Exhibition Centre, and all the major tourist attractions are less than 40 minutes away.

text: Miami Marlins Can The Marlins Keep This Up? By Luis Hernandez • May 9, 2016 PATRICK FARRELL / Miami Herald The Miami Marlins have the third lowest payroll at a little more than $71 million. They're only better than the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers. And yet, over the past couple of weeks the Marlins have been playing red hot, and only one team has won more games during that period. But, can the team sustain that level of winning over the long Major League Baseball season? Here is Miami Herald sports reporter Manny Navarro's view: A Whole New Country Looks To Miami Marlins On Opening Day By Wilson Sayre • Apr 5, 2016 Credit Creative Commons via Flickr / User Arturo Pardavila III (https://flic.kr/p/ExeF2T) The Miami Marlins kick off their season Tuesday. And this year there's a new guy who will be throwing the opening pitch. In January, Taiwanese baseball player Wei-Yin Chen signed a five-year, $80 million contract with the Miami Marlins. And it seems like his entire home country signed on too. 'Touch Tour' Lets Blind Students Feel Their Way Through Marlins Park By Ebony Joseph • Jul 30, 2015 Ebony Joseph / WLRN A group of students from the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired got a hands-on "touch tour" of Miami Marlins Park on Thursday. The students from Lighthouse's summer music camp got a chance to feel and explore the stadium before the Marlins went head to head against the Washington Nationals. The summer program gives sighted and visually impaired students a chance to work together and learn about each other. How Chef Vince Navarrete Feeds Marlins Park By Bernard Hacker • Sep 26, 2014 mrlaugh / Flickr Baseball is "America's pastime". The sport is filled with nostalgia and American history from Jackie Robinson and Derek Jeter to the disco demolition and your neighborhood little league team. But, it's the food that brings everything together. Baseball was part of my introduction to American culture growing up. I would listen to games on the radio with my grandfather in Brooklyn, sitting on the porch during the summer eating ice cream or passing around a bag of Funyuns. The "Original" Miami Marlins By Joseph Cooper, Bonnie Berman & Paul Leary • Mar 27, 2014 L. D. Mooth, Former Photographer - WTVJ-TV Miami 03/27/14 - Thursday's Topical Currents looks at the history of the "Triple A" minor league baseball team named the Miami Marlins. Their home was the friendly confines of the old Miami Stadium from 1956 through 1960. There were colorful characters involved . . . including maverick promoter Bill Veeck, Manager Pepper Martin, even ageless pitching wonder, Satchel Paige. This Mother-Daughter Team Is The Ultimate Miami Marlins Fan Club By Lance Dixon & Patience Haggin • Sep 6, 2013 For the past four years, Eloise Card and her daughter Donna Glendenning have watched every Miami Marlins game together, from first pitch to last out — more than 600 and counting. From 34 miles apart. "If I don't call her by the first pitch, she's calling me," says Glendenning. "She'll start out the conversation always with, 'Well, what do you think we're going to do tonight?' " Card lives in the Westwood Lakes neighborhood of Southwest Miami-Dade, while her daughter lives in Fort Lauderdale. They started watching Marlins games together telephonically in 2009. Marlins Deal Cost Dolphins Stadium Upgrades -- And Super Bowls By Mike Shannon • Jun 7, 2013 I moved to South Florida in '82 from Canada and immediately became a Dolphin fan and season ticket holder up until 2009. Through that time I saw the privately funded Joe Robbie Stadium get built, and then renovated and subsequently host a couple Super Bowls, which brought great benefits to the local community. I owned a print shop and design firm in Tamarac at the time, and you could literally feel the benefit to the community from there. It seemed that everyone was busy and profitable in and around those Super Bowls with the massive influx of revenue these events brought in. Losing The Super Bowl Remains A "Real Loss For The Region" By Sean Millerick • Jun 6, 2013 Editor's Note: WLRN-Miami Herald News asked members of the Public Insight Network to respond to the news that South Florida would not host Super Bowl 50 and 51. The Hidden Truths Behind Publicly Funded Stadium Deals By Sid Kaskey • Jun 4, 2013 Editor's Note: WLRN-Miami Herald News asked members of the Public Insight Network to respond to the news that South Florida would not host Super Bowl 50 and 51. Remix The News: David Kobert, Miami Dolphins And Circus Politics By Kenny Malone • Apr 26, 2013 Original photo from Miami Dolphins with added pizzazz by Kenny Malone We're a little over two weeks away from the scheduled Miami-Dade County referendum on proposed upgrades to the Miami Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium. State lawmakers still need to approve a local hotel tax increase and a Dolphins subsidy that would help pay for the renovations. If that happens, the public will have a chance to officially vote on the upgrades on May 14th. Until then, we figured we'd give our audience a different way to express their feelings on the issue: One Wary Dolphins Fan Weighs A Publicly-Funded Roof For 'Joe Robbie Stadium' By Bill Andrews • Feb 7, 2013 Wiki Commons SunLife Stadium, which I will forever lovingly call Joe Robbie Stadium, in honor of the man who built it, on his own, with no public funding, is in need of some sprucing up. The current owner is asking for public money to help in this endeavor. A public that is very wary of rich team owners asking for financial help—think Marlins. So, is this a replay of a Greek tragedy? Should Public Money Fund Sun Life Stadium Upgrades? By Elaine Chen • Jan 18, 2013 techyourpicture Marlins are no help for Dolphins. The proposal by the Miami Dolphins to fund approximately $400 million in stadium renovations through county hotel taxes and state general funds is not getting a warm reception. And it's probably not because of reports by economists showing that events like the Super Bowl don't contribute significantly to the host communities. Tax Funds For Dophin Stadium Would Be 'Welfare For Billionaires,' Braman Says By Arianna Prothero • Jan 18, 2013 Nathan Rupert (flickr) South Florida businessman Norman Braman is calling the proposed plan to renovate Sun Life Stadium with the public dollars "plain welfare for a multi-billionaire." He contends that Miami Dolphins owner Shephen Ross' football team is a private asset and should not receive any public money. Why Economists Are Skeptical Of Dolphins' Plan To Renovate Stadium With Tax Dollars By Arianna Prothero • Jan 16, 2013 Matt Velazquez (Flickr) The Miami Dolphins' proposed deal to use state and local tax dollars to renovate Sun Life stadium is getting some big endorsements. But the benefits a renovated stadium would bring the county are questionable, some economists say. We're Not The Marlins, Dolphins Say, But We Do Need Tax Money For Our Stadium By Rick Stone • Jan 14, 2013 Wikimedia Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has an appointment with reporters today to discuss his plans to go after public funding to renovate Sun Life Stadium. The cost estimate is $400 million, says the Miami Herald, some of which Ross apparently hopes to raise from state and local government sources. Pages1 2 next › last »

Portrait Project: Changing a Studio Background
Studio portraits can sometimes benefit from the visual interest a new backdrop can provide. In this installment of Portrait Project, Chris Orwig shows how to remove a subject from a studio environment and place her against a different background. First, Chris shows how to crop the portrait and improve details in Camera Raw. Then, in Photoshop, he shows how to make a selection, refine its edges, and convert it to a mask, and combine it with another image. In the second half of the course, he covers how to make the subject look at home in her new environment using a hand-painted darkening effect, blur, and color and tone adjustments.

- Hello and welcome! My name is Chris Orwig, and welcome to this course where we will focus in on how we can work with the studio portrait. You know, we'll take a studio portrait and we'll look at how we can remove the subject from that environment, and then position her in another. And this project base course will begin by looking at how we can use Adobe Camera Raw. And with Adobe Camera Raw we'll explore how we can crop the image and improve the details. Then, we'll look at how we can work on the image in Photoshop. Here we'll build a selection and we'll refine the edges of that selection and convert it into a mask, so that we can then remove the subject from the background environment.
Then of course, we'll bring the subject over to the new environment and start to combine the two images together. Here we'll focus in on some of those important details, we'll look at how we can darken areas or change the color of the image. How we can improve some edge detail, and also modify the overall color and tone. We'll be covering these topics and more, so thanks for joining me in this course, lets begin.

The Government Just Released A Plan To Protect The Greater Sage Grouse. Here's Why You Should Care.
CREDIT: Jeannie Stafford/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service via AP
The Department of the Interior Thursday released a long-awaited plan to protect the greater sage grouse, a ground-dwelling bird that was once ubiquitous across the American West but that has seen its numbers plummet as the region's open sagebrush lands have been lost to energy development, grazing, and catastrophic wildfires.
The sage grouse's U.S. population totaled about 16 million 100 years ago — now, the numbers ring in as low as 150,000. With the greater sage grouse's already dwindling populations falling an additional 55 percent between 2007 and 2013, western states and federal land management agencies have been scrambling to develop land management plans that reduce development pressures on the bird's habitat and reverse the decline of the species.
The decade-long efforts of western governors, private landowners, and the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Agriculture are in part aimed at avoiding the need to formally protect the bird under the Endangered Species Act, a decision that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make in September based on sage grouse population levels and the adequacy of existing protections.
The land management plan released Thursday by the Obama administration will guide conservation and development on approximately 70 million acres of national public lands, which contain the majority of the greater sage grouse's remaining habitat. This effort has been described as "the largest landscape-level conservation effort ever undertaken by the Bureau of Land Management, the nation's largest land manager."
Here are the three things you should know about the administration's plan to protect the greater sage grouse:
The sage grouse isn't the only species that will benefit from the plan

The plan increases protections on more than 40 million acres of public lands, and in particular on 16.5 million acres which are set aside as sagebrush "focal areas" that are off-limits to all future oil and gas development.
Unveiling the plan, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said that the steps her agency is taking to protect the sage grouse are "grounded in the best science" and "we are confident that these plans address the main threats to the bird and its habitat."
The plan aims to protect the habitat of more than 350 other species in addition to the sage grouse, such as the iconic pronghorn, golden eagles, elk, and mule deer. Environmental groups, ranchers, sportsmen, members of Congress, and others praised the release of the plan and the coordination efforts.
"It has been impressive and downright inspiring to see the [Bureau of Land Management] engaging in true landscape level planning focused on the need for conservation as part of managing public lands," said Nada Culver, senior director for agency policy at the Wilderness Society, in a press release.
In addition to protecting habitat from future oil and gas drilling, the plan identifies buffer zones around sage grouse breeding areas and minimizes surface disturbance on more than 43 million acres of public lands by encouraging the use of new technologies.
The plan is a product of years of work with western states
CREDIT: shutterstock
Almost 70 million acres of sage grouse habitat cover public lands across 11 western states managed primarily by the Bureau of Land Management or the U.S. Forest Service. For more than a decade, federal agencies have worked with state governments, and key stakeholders such as ranchers, sportsmen, local businesses and the oil and gas industry to ensure a balance between competing interests.
Jewell was joined by Wyoming Governor Matt Mead (R) announcing the plan Thursday. Mead emphasized that the federal agencies had done an "extraordinary job" and said that "this is not just about the sage grouse, it's about the habitat; it's about the West."

Despite significant bipartisan support for the administration's next steps, the oil and gas industry and its allies are escalating attacks on western communities' efforts to conserve the greater sage grouse and the open lands it inhabits. As reported by the New York Times last week, the industry, "led by such groups as the Western Energy Alliance, the Independent Petroleum Association of America and the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance," has "mobilized to try to prevent the Department of the Interior from barring large stretches of land as potential drilling sites over concern that drilling and fracking operations could harm the sage grouse."
Kathleen Sgamma, Vice President of the Western Energy Alliance, continued to push back on the plan to protect the sage grouse after Thursday's announcement, telling Fuel Fix that "we believe the science doesn't justify these restrictions."
Additionally, a number of the oil and gas industry's allies in Congress, including Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT), have led legislative efforts to undermine the Endangered Species Act by exempting the greater sage grouse from protection for up to ten years. A letter from 26 conservation groups earlier this month said that Bishop's proposal to delay listing and give management authority of sage grouse habitat to states would be "interrupting the ongoing conservation efforts" and "could further jeopardize the existence of the species."
Now that Interior's plan has been released, the agency will undergo a 60-day review to be finalized while the western states are also working to finalize their own conservation plans. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has until September 30, 2015 to make a final decision whether the federal and state plans to protect the greater sage grouse are sufficient to reverse the decline of the species, or whether the bird also needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act to survive.

Purchased camera in Feb/2005. after using the camera for 4 months I am extremely happy with the camera. I continually to use features I didn't know existed. The only thing that I am displeased with is that fact the owners manual does not explain all the features clearly.

Yelp Reviews of U.S.-Mexico Border Ordeals Read by Actors (VIDEO)
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Growing up in Southern California, you get used to putting your rights as a U.S. citizen on hold in order to get back into the United States from Tijuana once in a while. Right?
And the militarization of the border has only gotten worse post-9/11: We're all potential terrorists and would-be drug dealers now. Still, sometimes the invasions of privacy reach absurd levels:
The California-based Center for Investigative Reporting found a novel way to illustrate the heartache and indignity of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
The organization commissioned actors and had them read real Yelp reviews of crossings and checkpoints, including takes on two in Southern California.
One actress says:
There were no illegals in my trunk. It's barely big enough to fit a car jack and a few bottles of Kahlua. Unless you were looking for midgets. And I don't go in for that sort of thing.

West Street reforestedJune 12,2014West Street
Volunteers planted 76 crab apple trees along West Street Wednesday.
The plantings are part of Green Mountain Powers Rutland Blooms project, which drew volunteers from Berkshire Bank, City of Rutland, Green Mountain Power, NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Stafford Technical Center, The Vermont Country Store, Vermont Council of Urban and Community Forestry and Wilk Paving.
The Village Snack Bar also supported the effort.
The trees were purchased with donations from Casellas, GMP, The Vermont Country Store and Rutland Regional Medical Center. They replaced scrub brush and nuisance trees along roughly 1,700 feet of the south side of the street. The site borders a rail siding, the citys winter snow dump and a recycling facility.
Other Rutland Blooms projects funded by donations from local businesses and individuals are being planned through the fall. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company will give a bear dressed as a gardener to the first 10 people to donate at least $250 to Rutland Blooms. Donations will be used to pay for plants, seeds, bulbs and planting materials for use in public community spaces.
Donations may be sent to United Way of Rutland County Rutland Blooms, 6 Church St., Rutland, VT 05701.MORE IN This Just In

| Elislin chapter 17 . 8/1/2013
Love it! Please continue posting more.
| Tamie K chapter 17 . 8/1/2013
I love how you entertwined Julie's thoughts of her conversion process and what Diana tried to make her believe Donovan did to her. The ability to feel Julie and Donovan's inner turmoil and feelings for one another really makes this scene pop and brings it to life. You did a wonderful job with it.
| Tamie K chapter 16 . 7/31/2013
That was a positively beautiful non-love scene. Love how you showed Julie's fear, emotion and trying to separate her nightmares from reality. That you had to rebuild her trust for Donovan and showed his cautiousness. And I always wondered how they ended up in the same train car together. And how they shared intimate moments without being interrupted.
| Tamie K chapter 15 . 7/31/2013
Hmm I just about fell off my chair with laughter over this line... "There goes 'Mr. Friendly' and his big buddy, the teddy bear." Lol. I love this introduction of Ham and Chris to Julie. But on people, especially men (even though they were friends before) walking up to and hugging her, I thought maybe she would flinch or something... show fear... some after-conversion effect. Just a thought.
Reading every scene in this chapter is a treat as its been a while since I've watched V The Final Battle, and the mention of Ruby's death and Ham and Chris reaction was a delightful surprise.
You know and portray each character very well. I'm lovin' it.
| Tamie K chapter 14 . 7/31/2013
I just love this chapter. I like your writing from Maggie's POV especially. And I like how you step back and approach Julie's scene from the outsider looking in... staring with "This is how it feels to be her right now." Your story is the best "fill in the blanks and in between scenes"s story on V I've read. I also really feel Donovan's character the way he remembers what Ham said to him in regards to Julie and how he's responding to it in his mind. Kudos.
| WarBerserk chapter 17 . 7/30/2013
I am GLAD to see that this story is not dead as I had feared it to be. Loved the Updates keep up with the great work.
| Valkara chapter 11 . 2/1/2012
Thank you so much for updating this excellent story! :o) I've been looking forward to more - it's gritty and violent, but much more realistic than what could have been shown on TV in the '80s. Can't wait for the continuation of the story! :o)
| Tamie K chapter 10 . 8/8/2011
This is a very gritty chapter when it comes to Julie's conversion scene. It makes me wonder (and I had explored this in a fic before myself) how Julie could be intimate with Donovan later if she had been given a vision that he raped her. The conversion scenes are hard for me to read as a Julie fan (sniffle), but you write them very well. You have excellent visual description.
I enjoyed the Martin/Lorraine and the other character scene, but as you opened it you did not make it clear which of the men said what line and it was a little confusing. Also, I think it may be a formatting issue, towards the end of the Donovan Tyler scene... I think it is mostly Tyler talking and you hit the return key and started a new line of dialogue when it was still Tyler talking, kind of looked like Donovan responding but I knew it was Tyler continuing by the words. And also, I noticed a few quotation marks missing in several dialogue phrases throughout the piece. Other than these minor issues, I think you are a great writer and you will probably end up writing in the horror genre when you hit the big time, and I think you will (wink). -TamieK

Typical security defenses fail in mobile settings because they protect boundaries rather than the information itself, and mobile users do not respect traditional boundaries. The information itself must be protected. Read Gartner's recommendations.
Adopt a Bimodal Approach to Manage PCs and Broaden Support for New Devices

The Gourlay Girls
In Glasgow at the beginning of the 1930s, the lives of two very different families are about to be changed forever by the repercussions of a tragedy that seems to defy explanation. In their splendid home in the West End, everything seems perfect in the comfortable, privileged lives of bestselling novelist Nicholas Cartwright, his beautiful wife Virginia and their two children. Until one dreadful day, when their world is touched by tragedy and they find themselves struggling to come to terms with a mystery that will haunt them for years to come. Meanwhile, in the run-down tenements of Springburn, the Gourlay family are battling to make ends meet. The Depression has hit Glasgow hard, Erchie Gourlay is unemployed, and only the long hours his three daughters spend sewing and dressmaking keeps the spectre of poverty at bay. The future looks bleak for the Gourlays, until the arrival of a destitute young girl on their doorstep brings them new hope of a better life. The sequel to the bestselling Clydesiders, Margaret Thomson Davis' The Gourlay Girls is an enthralling tale of two families, skilfully evoking the life and times of the city of Glasgow in the 1930s-from the spectacular Empire Exhibition, to the coming of the Second World War.

This patient summary on nutrition is adapted from the summary written forhealth professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible informationabout cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoingclinical trials, is available from the National Cancer Institute. Cancer andits treatment can lead to malnutrition, a common problem in cancer patients. This brief summary describes the effects of cancer and its therapy onnutrition, as well as methods for maintaining nutrition in cancer patients.
Cancer patients frequently have problems getting enough nutrition. Malnutrition is a major cause of illness and death in cancer patients. Malnutrition occurs when too little food is eaten to continue the body'sfunctions. Progressive wasting, weakness, exhaustion, lower resistance toinfection, problems tolerating cancer therapy, and finally, death may result.
Anorexia (the loss of appetite or desire to eat) is the most common symptom inpeople with cancer. Anorexia may occur early in the disease or later, when thetumor grows and spreads. Some patients may have anorexia when they arediagnosed with cancer; and almost all patients who have widespread cancer willdevelop anorexia. Anorexia is the most common cause of malnutrition anddeterioration in cancer patients.
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by weakness and a noticeablecontinuous loss of weight, fat, and muscle. Anorexia and cachexia often occurtogether. Cachexia can occur in people who are eating enough, but who cannotabsorb the nutrients. Cachexia is not related to the tumor size, type, orextent. Cancer cachexia is not the same as starvation. A healthy person'sbody can adjust to starvation by slowing down its use of nutrients, but incancer patients, the body does not make this adjustment.
Some cancer patients may die of the effects of malnutrition and wasting.
Many malnutrition problems are caused directly by the tumor. Tumors growing inthe stomach, esophagus, or intestines can cause blockage, nausea and vomiting,poor digestion, slow movement through the digestive system, or poor absorptionof nutrients. Cancer of the ovaries or genital and urinary organs can causeascites (excess fluid in the abdomen), leading to feelings of early fullness,worsening malnutrition, or fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Pain caused bythe tumor can result in severe anorexia and a decrease in the amount of foodsand liquids consumed. Central nervous system tumors (such as brain cancer) cancause confusion or sleepiness; patients may lose interest in food or forget toeat.
Changes in the body's metabolism can also cause nutritional problems. Tumorcells often convert nutrients to energy in different, less efficient ways thando other cells.
Tumors may produce chemicals or other products that can cause anorexia andcachexia. For example, tumors can produce a substance that changes a person'ssense of taste, so that the patient does not want to eat. Tumors can affectthe receptors in the brain that tell the stomach if it is full. Tumors canalso produce hormone substances, which can change the amount of nutrientseaten, the way they are absorbed, and the way they are used by the body.
Effect of Cancer Therapies Back Up
Nutrition problems can be caused by cancer therapies and their side effects. The treatment may have a direct effect, such as poor protein and fat absorptionafter certain types of surgeries, or an indirect effect, such as an increasedneed for energy due to infection and fever. Severe malnutrition is defined intwo ways: as an increased risk of illness and/or death and as a defined amountof weight loss over a specified amount of time.
Head and neck surgery may cause chewing and swallowing problems or may causemental stress due to the amount of tissue removed during surgery. Surgery tothe esophagus may cause stomach paralysis and poor absorption of fat. Poorabsorption of protein and fat, dumping syndrome (rapid emptying of the stomach)with low blood sugar, and early feelings of fullness may follow stomachsurgery. Surgery to the pancreas may also cause poor protein and fatabsorption, poor absorption of vitamins and minerals, or diabetes. Small boweland colon surgery may cause poor absorption of protein and fat, vitamin andmineral shortages, diarrhea, and severe fluid and electrolyte losses. Surgeryto the urinary tract can cause electrolyte imbalances. Other side effects ofsurgery that can affect nutrition include infection, fistulas (holes betweentwo organs or between an organ and the surface of the body), or short-bowelsyndrome. After a colostomy, patients may decrease the amount they eat anddrink.
Chemotherapy can cause anorexia, nausea and/or vomiting, diarrhea orconstipation, inflammation and sores in the mouth, changes in the way foodtastes, or infections. Symptoms that affect nutrition and last longer than 2weeks are especially critical. The frequency and severity of these symptomsdepends on the type of chemotherapy drug, the dosage, and the other drugs andtreatments given at the same time. Nutrition may be seriously affected when apatient has a fever for an extended period of time since fevers increase thenumber of calories needed by the body.
Radiation therapy to the head and neck can cause anorexia, taste changes, drymouth, inflammation of the mouth and gums, swallowing problems, jaw spasms,cavities, or infection. Radiation to the chest can cause infection in theesophagus, swallowing problems, esophageal reflux (a backwards flow of thestomach contents into the esophagus), nausea, or vomiting. Radiation to theabdomen or pelvis may cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, inflammation of theintestine or rectum, or fistula formation. Radiation therapy may also causetiredness, which may lead to a decrease in appetite and a reduced desire toeat. Long-term effects can include narrowing of the intestine, chronicinflamed intestines, poor absorption, or blockage of the gastrointestinaltract.
Immunotherapy (for example, biological response modifier therapy) can causefever, tiredness, and weakness, and can lead to loss of appetite and anincreased need for protein and calories.
Mental and Social Effects Back Up
Eating is an important social activity. Anorexia and food avoidance lead tosocial isolation when people cannot be with others during meal times. Manymental and social factors can affect a person's desire and willingness to eat. Depression, anxiety, anger, and fear are often felt by cancer patients and canlead to anorexia. Feeling a loss of control or helplessness can also reducethe desire to eat. Refusing to eat even when begged to eat by family, friends,and care givers may be one way a patient (who may not feel able to refusetreatment) feels able to have some control in life. Learned food dislikes mayalso cause less eating or drinking, nausea, and/or vomiting. People who havean unpleasant experience after eating a certain food may avoid that food in thefuture.
Factors such as living alone, an inability to cook or prepare meals, or aninability to walk to the kitchen because of physical disabilities may lead toeating problems. A social worker or nurse can evaluate the patient's home andrecommend changes to help improve eating habits.
Diagnosing the cancer and treating it often means that the patient has to spendmuch time away from home and the normal routine, including having meals. Favorite foods may not be available in the hospital, or may not be toleratedwell because of treatment side effects. For example, a person who enjoys hot,spicy food and has inflammation of the esophagus may not like the taste ofbland food and may eat very little. Changes in taste can affect a person'sappetite and desire for food.
The less a cancer patient eats, the weaker he or she becomes, and the more itseems that the cancer is progressing. This wasting is a constant reminder tothe patient, family, and care givers of the cancer diagnosis and expected pooroutcome. This can affect quality of life, social participation, and attitude. Also, with continued wasting, and the resulting tiredness, the personsocializes even less. Since food and eating have such an important role insociety, the inability to eat well and the consequences of inadequate nutritionisolate the patient even more.
Exercise (such as walking or mild aerobics) has a positive effect on thepatient's sense of well-being, alleviating nausea and vomiting, and thepatient's ability to eat. Patients who must have artificial feeding methodsmay show depression, changes in body image, and stress caused by feeding tubesand equipment. To cancer patients, problems with nutrition are more importantto their sense of well-being than their sexuality and their ability to remainemployed.
Nutritional Assessment Back Up
The patient's medical history and physical examination are the most importantfactors in determining the nutritional status of a cancer patient. Thisassessment should include a weight history; any changes in eating and drinking;symptoms affecting nutrition (including anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,constipation, inflammation and sores in the mouth, dry mouth, taste/smellchanges, or pain); medications that affect eating and the way the body usesnutrients; other illnesses or conditions that could affect nutrition ornutritional treatment; and the patient's level of functioning. The cancerpatient should be asked about changes in eating and drinking compared to whatis normal for him or her, and how long this change has lasted. The physicalexamination should look for weight loss, loss of fat under the skin, musclewasting, fluid collection in the legs, and the presence of ascites.
Finding out how much the person likes to eat, as well as what he or she likesto eat, can help when making changes to a cancer patient's diet. Knowing thepatient's specific food likes, dislikes, and allergies is also helpful.
General Treatment Guidelines Back Up
The type of treatment needed to improve a cancer patient's nutrition is chosenbased on the following factors:
- The presence of a working gastrointestinal tract.
- The type of cancer therapy, such as where and how much surgery has beendone, the type of chemotherapy used, where and how much of the body wasirradiated, the use of biological response modifiers, and thecombinations of therapies used.
- The quality of life, how well the patient is functioning, and theexpected outcome of the cancer.
- The cost of the care.
Keeping the body looking well and maintaining good nutrition can help thecancer patient feel and look better and help improve his or her dailyfunctioning. It may also help patients tolerate cancer therapy. The type oftreatment chosen for nutritional problems depends on the cause of the problems. Problems caused by the tumor may end when the tumor responds to therapy.
Food odor frequently causes anorexia in cancer patients. Patients withanorexia should avoid odors caused by food preparation. Cancer patients may beable to tolerate food with little odor. For example, they may be able to eatat breakfast, since many breakfast foods have little odor.
The following suggestions can help cancer patients manage anorexia:
- Eat small frequent meals (every 1-2 hours).
- Eat high-protein and high-calorie foods (including snacks).
- Avoid foods low in calories and protein and avoid empty calories (likesoda).
- Avoid liquids with meals (unless needed to help dry mouth or swallowing) tokeep from feeling full early.
- Try to eat when feeling best; use nutritional supplements when not feelinglike eating. (Cancer patients usually feel better in the morning and havebetter appetites at that time.)
- Try several different brands of nutritional supplements or high-calorie,high-protein drinks or pudding recipes. If it tastes too sweet or has a bitteraftertaste, adding the juice of half a freshly-squeezed lemon may help.
- Work up an appetite with light exercise (such as, walking), a glass of wineor beer if allowed, or appetite stimulants.
- Add extra calories and protein to food (such as butter, skim milk powder,honey, or brown sugar).
- Take medications with high-calorie fluids (like nutritional supplements)unless the medication must be taken on an empty stomach.
- Make eating a pleasant experience (for example, try new recipes, eat withfriends, vary color and texture of foods).
- Experiment with recipes, flavorings, spices, types, and consistencies offood. This is important, since food likes and dislikes may change from day today.
- Avoid strong odors. Use boiling bags, cook outdoors on the grill, use akitchen fan when cooking, serve cold food instead of hot (since odors are inthe rising steam), and take off any food covers to release the odors beforeentering a patient's room. Small portable fans can be used to blow food odorsaway from patients. Order take-out food, to avoid preparing food at home.
Suggestions for helping cancer patients manage taste changes include:
- Use plastic utensils if the patient complains of a metallic taste whileeating.
- Cook poultry, fish, eggs, and cheese instead of red meat.
- Marinate meats with sweet marinades or sauces.
- Serve meats cool instead of hot.
- Use extra seasonings, spices, and flavorings, but avoid flavorings that arevery sweet or very bitter. A higher sensitivity to the taste of food may causethem to taste flavorless or boring.
- Substitute milk shakes, puddings, ice cream, cheese, and other high proteinfoods for meats if the patient does not want to eat meat.
- Rinse the mouth before eating.
- Use lemon-flavored drinks to stimulate saliva and taste, but do not useartificial lemon and use very little sweetener.
To prevent the development of taste dislikes:
- Try new foods and supplements when feeling well.
- Eat lightly on the morning of, or several hours before receivingchemotherapy.
- Do not introduce new tastes when bad odors are present.
To help dry mouth or trouble swallowing:
- Eat soft or moist foods.
- Process foods in a blender.
- Moisten foods with creams, gravies, or oils.
- Avoid rough, irritating foods.
- Avoid hot or cold foods.
- Avoid foods that stick to the roof of the mouth.
- Take small bites and chew completely.
The cancer patient should be encouraged to keep a positive attitude towardstreatment and try to take in enough calories and protein. Individual calorieand protein requirements can be calculated so that realistic goals can be setwith the patient and his or her care givers. The actual amount of calories andprotein needed by each cancer patient varies. The following formula can beused to determine how many calories are needed to maintain a cancer patient'sbody weight:
General guidelines of calories required (assuming light activity):
- Underweight adults - multiply weight in pounds by 18
- Normal weight adults - multiply weight in pounds by 16
- Overweight adults - multiply weight in pounds by 13
Some cancer patients need more calories and protein. A cancer nutritionist(dietitian, diet technician, nurse, or doctor with special training innutrition) can help determine the nutritional needs and options of eachpatient. General guidelines for grams of protein needed by cancer patients:multiply weight in pounds by 0.5.
Enteral/Parenteral Support Back Up
Sometimes it may be necessary to maintain nutrition using other methods thaneating. Enteral nutrition (infusions through the intestinal tract, usually thestomach) may be used. The factors that indicate enteral nutrition is neededare:
- Upper gastrointestinal blockage that prevents eating or drinking(difficulty swallowing, esophageal narrowing, tumor, stomach weakness orparalysis).
- Treatment with both chemotherapy and radiation therapy (especially withradiation therapy to the esophagus) with side effects that limit eating ordrinking.
- Anorexia and/or other problems such as severe depression, confusion, ordisorientation that keep the patient from eating or drinking sufficiently.
- Problems eating or drinking (for example, pain when eating).
Enteral nutrition should not be used when the following are present:
- Bowel obstruction.
- Nausea and vomiting that does not respond to standard treatment.
- Severe short gut (inability of the large or small intestine to absorbnutrients due to its removal or damage) with diarrhea that does not respond tostandard treatment.
- Fistula (a hole) in the stomach or esophagus.
Parenteral nutrition (usually an infusion into a vein) should be given for thefollowing reasons:
- The gastrointestinal tract is not working because of:
- Temporary problems with oral or enteral nutrition for longer than10 days, especially if nutritional problems were already present.
- Obstruction or other problems caused by the tumor that are expected to get better after chemotherapy or surgery.
- Multiple and/or uncorrectable obstructions or other problems caused by a slow-growing cancer.
- Severe short gut (see #3 above) following surgery, radiation side effects,fistula, and problems maintaining body weight and muscle with enteralnutrition.
- Severe and/or continuous decline in nutrition in a person with aslow-growing cancer or any cancer in which malnutrition, not the cancer, isthe main problem.
Parenteral nutrition should not be used when the following are present:
- Functioning digestive system.
- The patient is not expected to live at least 40 days.
- There are no good veins to use.
- There is no severe nutritional problem (for example, a temporary problemeating after surgery).
It is believed that cancer patients who have enough nutrition are better ableto stand therapy and its side effects. The type of nutritional support usedshould be chosen based on the patient's physical needs, degree of nutritionalproblem, disease, the amount of time that support will be needed, and theresources available. If the gastrointestinal tract is working and will not beaffected by the cancer therapy, then enteral support is best. Enteralnutrition can be given through a tube in the nose or by tubes placed duringsurgery.
Medications can also be used to improve nutrition. Medications may includethose for pain management, treatment of constipation or diarrhea, stimulationof the stomach, or the use of appetite stimulants.

There are also many other places where people can get materials and information about cancer treatment and services. Local hospitals may have information on local and regional agencies that offer information about finances, getting to and from treatment, receiving care at home, and dealing with problems associated with cancer treatment.
The NCI has booklets and other materials for patients, health professionals, and the public. These publications discuss types of cancer, methods of cancer treatment, coping with cancer, and clinical trials. Some publications provide information on tests for cancer, cancer causes and prevention, cancer statistics, and NCI research activities. NCI materials on these and other topics may be ordered online or printed directly from the NCI Publications Locator.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on Cancer.gov.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at Cancer.gov, the NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to take part in a clinical trial. A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about new treatment methods, the risks involved, and how well they do or do not work. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard."
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at Cancer.gov. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237); TTY at 1-800-332-8615.
