Study: Daily Low-Dose Aspirin May Help Ward Off Pancreatic Cancer
But, finding isn't conclusive, and people shouldn't take the drug just to cut cancer risk, experts say
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, June 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People who take low-dose aspirin for more than 10 years might be reducing their risk for pancreatic cancer, a new study suggests.
Even taking a daily aspirin for just three years lowered the chances of the deadly cancer by 48 percent, the researchers said.
"Aspirin use has potential risks of its own, thus the risks and benefits for each person have to be evaluated based on personal characteristics," said lead researcher Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.
"For the small numbers of people with strong family histories of pancreatic cancer or who otherwise have been evaluated to be at increased risk of pancreatic cancer, aspirin use could be part of a regimen designed to reduce their risk," he said.
The main risk with continued aspirin use is bleeding in the stomach.
The report was published online June 26 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Eric Jacobs, strategic director for pharmacoepidemiology at the American Cancer Society, said taking aspirin hasn't been proven to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. And no one should take aspirin in the hope of lowering their risk for any cancer.
"The link between aspirin use, particularly low-dose aspirin use, and lower risk of pancreatic cancer observed in this study is intriguing," but not proven, he said.
Results of other studies of aspirin and pancreatic cancer have been mixed, Jacobs said.
"While long-term regular aspirin use lowers the risk of colorectal cancer, evidence is much too limited to draw conclusions about aspirin and pancreatic cancer. We do know, however, that the most important ways to lower risk of ever getting pancreatic cancer are to avoid smoking and maintain a healthy weight," he said.
"The American Cancer Society, therefore, does not recommend taking aspirin specifically to prevent cancer. People thinking about taking aspirin on a regular basis should talk to their health care provider, who can take their individual medical history into account when weighing the overall benefits and risks of using aspirin," Jacobs added.
For the study, Risch and colleagues collected data on 362 people with pancreatic cancer and 690 who did not have the disease. Participants were recruited from 30 Connecticut hospitals between 2005 and 2009.
All of the study participants were asked when they began taking aspirin, how much and for how long. The researchers also took into account other factors, such as weight, smoking history and any history of diabetes.
A dose of 75 milligrams to 325 milligrams of aspirin per day was considered low-dose and was usually taken to prevent heart disease. The researchers considered a dose higher than that, usually taken every four to six hours, as regular-dose taken for pain.
The investigators found that the earlier someone started taking low-dose aspirin regularly, the more the risk for pancreatic cancer seemed reduced.
The reduction ranged from 48 percent among those who started three years before the study to 60 percent in those who started taking it 20 years before the study, the researchers said.
However, people who stopped taking aspirin within two years before the study saw their risk for pancreatic cancer increase threefold, compared with those who continued taking aspirin, the authors said.
Dr. Tony Philip, an oncologist at North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute in Lake Success, N.Y., said, "Pancreatic cancer is not a common cancer, but a deadly one nonetheless."
Over the last several years, more has been learned about the role of inflammation in cancer, he said, and has been well described in colon cancer. There are also ongoing studies looking at the role of anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing recurrence of other types of tumors.
"Much more work needs to be done before we start recommending this [aspirin] to the general population. The next step, which may be harder to do, is to prove cause and effect and figure out who benefits most from this," Philip said.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Drink tap.
It isn't cute if you pollute.
Somewhere over the rainbow, there will be no more bottled water.
The homemade slogans children colored with crayons onto scraps of recycled fabric, strung up between trees along the Grand River, set Saturday's tone at the second annual Grand Rapids Water Festival.
"We live in Michigan, and we need to be great stewards of the water," said Laura Mae Weingartz, a 23-year-old volunteer from Middleville helping parents coin messages and their children create the 10-inch-square flags at Riverside Park.
Amid a crowd donning hemp, tie-dye and strong feelings about Great Lakes water, bands played everything from cover tunes to original music, while speakers railed against corporate "green-washing" and urged conservation.
"We can live without a lot of things," activist Mary Schmidt, who works with the Sierra Club, told hundreds lounging on blankets between musical sets, "but clean, fresh water isn't one of them."
Held first in Mackinaw City in 2006 and for the second year in Grand Rapids, the festival arrived the day after Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed bills hailed as protecting a fifth of the world's fresh surface water.
Their approval brings Michigan into a multistate compact aimed at preventing diversion of Great Lakes water and sets forth tougher regulations for big withdrawals in Michigan.
Some said those measures will not go far enough.
Conservationists such as festival organizer Kim Spring wanted the legislation to extend protection to groundwater, the resource tapped by private interests, including water-bottling companies.
Crowd of about 3,000
Water took center stage, but many facets of the green movement were on hand, along with an estimated crowd of about 3,000 people, Spring said. More than 40 vendors of green products and organizations peddling environmentally friendly messages ringed the concert venue.
Shaped like a drop of water, a hand-drawn map of the world covered with factoids hung from the table of the Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University chapter of the Green Council, which pushes for recycling and eco-friendly practices.
"We're here to unveil our mascot for the festival, Dewey the dew drop," said chapter founder Nicholas Wikar, 20, who attended Kendall before switching to Grand Rapids Community College.
Chapter secretary Maranda Shear, a 20-year-old studying to be an art teacher, is developing curricula teachers can use to "green their lesson plans."
The festival organizers' goal is to get people to enjoy themselves and get involved in water conservation, said musician and organizer Seth Bernard, a 28-year-old Lake City resident.
"Making it a party is going to engage people in a way that a lecture wouldn't."

Judge meets in chambers with Pa. slaying suspect
FRANKLIN -- A judge met privately for 90 minutes with a 13-year-old boy charged with killing his grandparents, as part of a follow-up on whether to move the case to juvenile court.
Venango County District Attorney Marie Veon told the Derrick of Oil City that "actions were taken and we're moving forward," but she wouldn't say if Zachary Proper, of Oil City, will be tried as an adult or not.
Proper remains incarcerated on charges he fatally shot his grandparents, George Fross, 69, and Dorothy Fross, 67, at their Sandycreek Township home on Oct. 7.
Proper faces up to life in prison if convicted as an adult, but his attorney wants the case moved to juvenile court where incarceration or supervision would end when he turns 21.
The youth is being represented by Virginia G. Sharp, of Franklin.

on July 25, 2010 - 12:01 AM
On my first trip to Toronto since I was a toddler, I reached out to someone who really knows the city: the Tour Guy.
Looking for the Ontario division of the Eye Bank of Canada? Tour Guy can show you where it is.
Want to see the statue of Al Waxman, who played the gruff but lovable lieutenant on "Cagney and Lacey"? Tour Guy can take you to it.
Hungry for some Hungarian Thai food? Tour Guy can tell you where to chow down.
I didn't exactly think that I wanted to see or do any of those things when I took a walking tour with Tour Guy, a.k.a. Jason Kucherawy, recently. But the 34-year-old Toronto native was eager and amiable and promised not to lead me astray.
Since April 2009, Kucherawy and a friend have been running a company called Tour Guys in Toronto and Vancouver (tourguys.ca). (Jason covers Toronto, the friend is in charge of Vancouver, B.C.) On Fridays and Saturdays, Jason gives walking tours of Toronto's cultural, financial and political landmarks for free (though he gladly accepts tips). This year, he partnered with international tour company Intrepid Travel to add a program called Urban Adventures, themed walking tours designed to get people off those clunky tour buses.
"The idea is to get under the skin of a city, to see it from a local's perspective," Tour Guy said. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the Urban Adventure, but oh, well.
We met in front of the Art Gallery of Ontario for the two-hour Kensington Market/Chinatown Urban Adventure. Joining us were Valerie Fulmer and Sandy Copeland, who'd driven up from Pittsburgh.
Our first stop: the life-size moose sculpture on the grounds of the Italian consulate, one of more than 300 that were placed around the city in 2000. Painted on this one were the faces of famous Italians and Torontonians. Jason pointed out Terry Fox, a one-legged amputee who in 1980 set out on a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. He made it almost halfway across Canada before succumbing to his cancer.
We went on to the largest of Toronto's six Chinatowns. "We are really a city of immigrants," said Jason. "People like myself, born in Toronto, we're a shrinking majority."
We walked past signs advertising haircuts for $6 Canadian and mom-and-pop shops hawking stuffed pandas, then stopped at a corner. In the heart of downtown's Chinatown, Jason dove into a history lesson. "The history of the Chinese community here is not a happy one," he said. The Chinese were lured to Toronto to help build the railroad but found themselves underpaid and living in slums. Many, however, worked hard and were able to start their own businesses.
We moved on to Kensington Market, which had begun as a Jewish market but is now filled with a variety of ethnic shops. In the early 1900s, Jews were fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe. Those who arrived in Toronto lived, like the Chinese, in slums. But many soon realized that they could make good money selling fruit and vegetables from pushcarts. Eventually, they bought houses in Kensington Market and converted the first floors into businesses.
Jason led us down a street lined with funky stores sporting such names as the Fairies Pyjamas and Courage My Love. Many were decorated with graffiti. Spray-painted on the side of one building was a giant piece (short for masterpiece, in graffiti parlance) of, appropriately enough, Andre the Giant. "Some people say it's an eyesore, but to me it's a sign that a neighborhood is vibrant," Jason argued.
The neighborhood was undeniably vibrant. We encountered fruit stands, bakeries, butcher shops, spice shops and non-chain coffee shops. An army-surplus store inexplicably displayed a bin of kids' gas masks on an outdoor table. We stumbled upon a restaurant called Roach o Rama: "Serving Potheads Since Ah, I Forget," the sign said. On the menu was a dish called "I'm Starving Dude!!" I would have liked to try it out, but a handwritten sign notified us that the restaurant was closed. "Open tomorrow 11am," it said. Figures.
I was enjoying our leisurely but educational tour, glad that I had decided not to walk around the neighborhood by myself. How else would I have learned the identity of that bronze statue of a chubby man in turtleneck and blazer at the edge of Bellevue Square Park?
Jason asked whether we could guess who it might be.
"A comedian?" Sandy ventured.
"A mafia boss?" I offered.
Nope. It was the late Al Waxman, one of Toronto's most beloved actors, the star of "The King of Kensington" (set in Kensington Market, of course), a television show that was Canada's "All in the Family." I tried to picture Waxman on "Cagney and Lacey," which I'd grown up watching, but I couldn't conjure the image.
After unsuccessfully searching for two more moose statues (they had disappeared, to Jason's surprise), we made our way to the University of Toronto building that's home to the Eye Bank of Canada, which stores donated eyes for transplants.
"Somewhere in that building is a really creepy room filled with eyes," Jason told us, pointing to the Gothic Revival structure that looked better suited to storing works of art. Adding to the creepiness factor, he told us that a young woman had fallen to her death from the third floor last September, allegedly during a ghost hunt, and that a professor had been murdered there in 2001. "I did it," said a stranger who overheard our discussion as he walked by. Everybody's a comedian.
Our tour ended at the Old City Hall, designed in 1899 by Edward James Lennox. Angered by the city's refusal to put his name on a plaque, Lennox had stonemasons etch the letters of his name around the entire building in corbels below the eaves. Jason, of course, was able to point out each letter.
It was after 4 p.m. and I'd been on my feet all day, so I took a streetcar back. I sat gazing out the window at the buildings passing by, sorry that I had no one to tell me what was inside them.

Some 45 years later, he still hasn't put it down.
McClure, a 1972 Phillipsburg High School graduate, just wrapped up his 34th season as a tennis coach at Loyola (Md.) University.
After decades in the profession, the veteran coach says it's the student-athletes who keep drawing him back.
"What keeps you going is strictly the relationships with the kids," McClure said.
During his time at the Baltimore school, McClure has seen plenty of young tennis players pass through his program. And he's viewed his share of victories as well.
McClure, who has coached the men's program for 34 years and the women's program for 25, has over 640 combined victories. Under his leadership the women have captured eight Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference titles and made four NCAA tournament appearances. The men posted MAAC runner-up performances in 1990 and 1991 and won the 1985 ECAC Metro Conference Tournament.
All the while the P'burg graduate has emphasized effort and attitude along with a primary focus on academics before all else.
"You give me 100 percent and represent your family and the school in a positive way -- I'll shake your hand after the match no matter how it went," said McClure, a member of the Loyola Athletic Hall of Fame. "Those things are very important to me, I stress that a lot."
Those qualities are derived from his high school coach Pete Tomaino, McClure says."It was always hard work, discipline, go out and give it 100 percent and let things fall where they do," McClure said of Tomaino's approach. "He was a very good role model in regard to me starting as a coach at a young age."
His coaching aspirations had already formulated while he was walking the halls at Phillipsburg, McClure says, but first there was the matter of his own playing career.
Upon his arrival as a freshman, the Stateliners boasted a group that flipped the Lehigh Valley on its head, highlighted by McClure, his brother Bob, his neighbor Bob Rush, Paul Ivankevich and Joe Hoffman.
P'burg would capture three league titles during McClure's high school career. One triumph that sticks out in his mind is snapping a long Allen winning streak at Oakmont Tennis Club on red clay, a surface with which McClure had no experience.
The result was magnified by the contrasting situations on display between Allen's "country club kids" and P'burg's players who lacked that pedigree, according to McClure.
"We were nothing like them," he said. "We were self-made players, we didn't have money for lessons. We were basically athletes who worked hard. We would go up there and they would have their immaculate white (outfits) on -- shorts and top -- and it was a pleasure to be able to upset them."
McClure, who honed his craft by playing at a count two blocks away from his house with Rush for about eight hours a day, was 50-5 as a No. 1 singles player and 30-0 in No. 1 doubles during his final three years with the Stateliners.
According to McClure, whose mother Lois still lives in the area, it was an opportune set of circumstances for Phillipsburg to have such a talented cast assembled at the same time in a program that had to play strictly away matches during the beginning of his career because its asphalt courts weren't up to par.
"Right time, right place, we were very fortunate and we had the right coach to lead us, which was very important," said McClure, who went on to play at and graduate from the University of Maryland.
The former Stateliner, whose first coaching job was at what was then called Northampton County Area Community College, said he doesn't plan on calling it quits anytime soon as the Loyola prepares to enter the Patriot League, joining Lafayette and Lehigh.
"There's no end in sight," said McClure, who turns 60 in November. "I have good energy and I love what I do."
And it all started with picking up a racket.
"No matter what age you are, if you carry a racket to a court, someone will start a conversation and ask you to hit," he said. 'It really breaks a lot of barriers age-wise or anything. I've met so many wonderful people just by being involved with tennis throughout the years."
"Catching Up With" is a weekly online feature that runs Sundays on lehighvalleylive.com. The subjects are former local high school or collegiate athletes who no longer live in the region. If you have an idea about an athlete you would like to see profiled, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've always loved English drama – live, on radio or TV, or at the movies. Jim's four-year tour of duty in England in the 1970s was pure joy for me to get all that theater first-hand. In America the best place to see these productions on a regular basis is on PBS and the best shows – for me – over the years have been Mystery and Masterpiece Theatre, now combined as Masterpiece Classic. My favorites here have always been traditional, mostly set in the 19th and 20th centuries, either on Baker Street or Eaton Square in London, a tiny village like St. Mary Mead, or a vast country estate, just about anywhere on that British isle.
Thus I like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes with his faithful Watson and Agatha Christie's Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. The edgier, darker more modern dramas are not as much to my taste, except for Prime Suspect with the incomparable Helen Mirren, who has beautifully played a British housewife, a detective chief inspector and Queen Elizabeth II, among others.
But perhaps the stories which provide me with the most pleasure – and the best "escape," are those set in huge households with a multitude of servants. The families are rich and titled, live in sumptuous homes, wear the finest clothes and jewels, and never have to lift a finger. Now who wouldn't like that?
The series Upstairs, Downstairs, set in a beautiful London town house, was the successful story of the Bellamy family "up" and the servants "down." Both had their dramas and traumas and featured unforgettable characters, like Hudson the butler, Mrs. Bridges the cook, Rose, the perfect head parlor maid, Sarah the scheming but piquant kitchen help, Lord and Lady Bellamy and their grown children, the rebellious Elizabeth and the sometimes much-too-dapper James. The sinking of the Titanic plays an important role in the later part of this production.
The rural descendant of that show is Downton Abbey, the background estate of Lord and Lady Grantham. The Titanic is also pivotal to the plot at the beginning of this story, and is the cause of the probable change of fortune for the family. Downton Abbey has 50 bedrooms and at least three dozen characters – a lot to keep track of, no matter how many staircases there are. But Season II has just ended, leaving all its fans hanging on and hoping for more. Will the dark secret involving the family and the servants ever be revealed? Will Matthew finally wed the prickly Lady Mary? Will she and her sneaky sister, Lady Edith, make peace? Will Lady Sybil, who (horrors!) married her Irish chauffeur Branson and went to live in Dublin, come back as a successful politico's wife?
How about servants Bates and Anna? Will they be reconciled if he is released from prison after his murder conviction? Will the horribly injured World War I patient prove to be the savior or the scourge of the family? And finally, will the Dowager Countess Violet, played by the excellent Maggie Smith who steals every scene she appears in, be the one to finally rescue the whole situation? Stay tuned. Surely Julian Fellowes, writer and creator, is hard at work on Season III.

After listening to wrenching emotional testimony from two of his seven victims, Northeast Philadelphia chiropractor Larry Turetsky abruptly ended his trial yesterday and pleaded guilty to the series of attacks in his office.
"I apologize to the people I have hurt. I spent more years learning and helping the community than I have hurting [the victims]," Turetsky told the judge, as the women shook their heads or gasped at his roundabout remorse.
"I want to move on," said Turetsky, 33, of the 700 block of Bargate Court in Upper Southampton.

While eating lunch one day, RN Jill Coleman noticed a visitor to Ochsner Medical Center - West Bank begin choking. After providing immediate care, the visitor responded and Coleman took her to the emergency room.
Because of her actions, Coleman, who works in the cardiac catherization lab, where she assists physicians with cardiac procedures and trains new nurses, was honored as the winner of the Nurse Makes a Difference excellence award in a recent ceremony. "She is always willing to help in a crisis; always going above and beyond,'' the award states.
Runner-up Kenesha Bradley is described by her direct leader as an "excellent care giver and recognized by patients and co-workers for her clinical skills, knowledge and expertise." She serves on multiple hospital committees.
Runner-up Sabrina Morales is a nurse on the mother/baby unit. A patient nominated her for the award after spending several anxiety-filled weeks confined in the hospital.

GCSO: Parents, son, 14 kids charged after drinking party
Brian, Kelly McSharry arrested
An Upstate couple, their 18-year-old son and more than a dozen teenagers were charged after an after-prom drinking party at the family's home, according Greenville County deputies.
Deputies responded to the home on Altamont Road at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday after getting a complaint.
Deputies said they found a party going on where minors were drinking and using marijuana.
The parents, Brian McSharry, 46, and Kelly McSharry, 47, were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Deputies said 14 others, ages 16 and 19, were cited for being minors in possession of alcohol.
Deputy Matt Smith said, "Just having a party at a home -- making sure everybody stays there -- is still not a safe scenario. And anyone who provides alcohol to minors will be charged accordingly."
The McSharrys were released on their own recognizance.

I think I've already done something like this, but hell I'll do it again. These are the games I would like to see made
Either a sequel or a remake of ActRaiser
The first ActRaiser is an amazing game and everyone should play it. It's very original and I had a lot of fun with it. The closest thing though to a game that I can think of that's close to being like ActRaiser is Dark Cloud and I feel like I'm even being far fetched with that comparison. Anyways I didn't like ActRaiser 2 and so I would like a real ActRaiser sequel or remake
Another game in the Chrono Trigger series or I guess technically Chrono Break
I don't need to say anything or explain.
A turn based rpg based on Soul Eater
Okay I'm currently watching this anime and as I'm watching some of the battle scenes all I can think of is what if this were to be RPG? So I would very much like one.
A fighter game based on mythologies like Norse, Greek, Celt, etc . . .
Seriously who wouldn't want to be Odin or Thor or Zeus or damn there's a lot of kick ass gods.
Anyways it would be a nice game.
A fighter based on Sony properties.
So basically like freaking Super Smash Bros, but with Sony characters. Enough said
So that's all that comes to mind for me. Let me know what you guys think of these ideas and what games are there that you all might like to see?

If courts can be manipulated by the success of protests, how is it that they are "post-political"? Isn't this just politics operating in an unconventional way? A popular movement is achieving its objectives by influencing some government organs directly, others indirectly. True, it's a bottom-up rather than top-down type of politics, and maybe it requires a pretty broad definition of the term, but it doesn't seem to be independent operation of a technocratic institution either.

Instead, it seems like a large segment of the population lost faith in the parties and other parts of the traditional political system, and decided to take their politics elsewhere. It seems more like your standard revolution or coup (in, happily so far, bloodless form) than an example of "post-politics".

In other words, the courts don't seem so technocratic when there is a mob outside influencing how they rule. Maybe that result is better than Thailand's previous corrupt political system, but it doesn't seem particularly judicial.

Father, the words we say to You don't need to feel complete or well-formed or profound. Sometimes we sit here, heart heavy, the to-do list a mile long, our mind full of worries and questions . . And we just need to be reminded:
You are safe.
You are true.
You are present.
You love us, right now.
Help us believe there is no risk in following You.
Help us believe there is no better life than one fully surrendered to You.
When we go our own way You love us and let us go.
You love us and let us go.
And hope we will turn.
And when we turn, You pour more of Yourself into us. You give us strength and direction and we know right where we are going.
Yes, Father. we watch Your feet and know exactly where we are going.
We are the Samaritan woman at the well, thirsty and desiring more than water, more than what this world can ever give.
You look into our eyes and show us what worship looks like. You tell us worship is our heart's response to Your calling forth our truest selves.
Our truest self is what You see in us and call forth. You name us, but it is that true self You see that prompts our naming.
Worship is the rising up of our spirits to accept the new, true name You call us.
What do you call forth in us that is most true, Father?
What is there, within each of us–hidden by lies we've believed, wounds not yet healed, pride and insecurity and lack of faith? What are those true selves You see?
What worship do You ask of us? What unique way are we gifted by You to see and worship You, with our lives?
Must our truest self remain hidden? Call it forth, Father! Give us hearts to desire what You see in us. Give us courage to discover our truest self. Show us what it means to worship.
We can only worship You from a place of authenticity. True worship isn't possible from a self that is false.
What doe the Holy Spirit call out in us so we can worship and most fully experience Your presence in the way we are meant to– uniquely, personally, with You?
Oh, the questions You set on my heart . . the desire You create within us to respond fully to You.
Strip us, God. Search our hearts and strip us of everything that is not of You. Let us live naked and unashamed and fully ourselves.
Fully ourselves.
Let us stand tall and worship.
Unabashedly. Unreservedly–without inhibition, but with expectation.
Let us look to Your presence.
Let Your delight in us and Your love for us spur us on.
"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration" (John 4:24, MSG).
Have you considered, friend, that authentic worship occurs when we have let the Father show us–and when we live–our true selves? What does this mean for you?
I'm thrilled to be linking up with Denise and community over at Denise in Bloom today. Come on over!

New NWS radar tower (Photo: WFO Melbourne)
(January 23, 2013) - National Weather Service NEXRAD weather radar in Melbourne, Fla. is expected to return to full service by the end of January. The radar tower at Melbourne's International Airport was taken down in December with an eye toward raising it to a new height of 113 feet.
"Raising the tower to that height was no small task," said Eric Howieson, radar program manager for the National Weather Service Southern Region. "In order to properly support a tower of that height in a coastal tropical cyclone environment, it had to be completely disassembled, a new much larger foundation built and then the radar tower could be reassembled at its new height."
The decision to raise the tower was made after NOAA and the National Weather Service learned of plans to build a new maintenance hangar at the airport. Designed to service Boeing 747 aircraft, the hangar would have a peak height of approximately 90 feet.
Given the height of the old radar tower, the building would have created a partial signal blockage. The additional tower height will prevent blockage of the beam's low-level scans to the south-southeast, which is the primary direction for most approaching hurricanes.
When the Melbourne radar system comes back online, the beam will pass over the hangar to provide full 360-degree monitoring of hazardous weather conditions.
With kudos to everyone involved in the project, Howieson added, "This is a fine example of the lengths to which National Weather Service employees will go to ensure the people they serve are safe and the mission is met."
National Weather Service NEXRAD radars in Tampa, Jacksonville and Miami, as well as FAA radars in Orlando and Palm Beach have been and will continue to provide coverage until the Melbourne site is fully operational.

1.7 Million Tweets Were Sent During #SOTU. Many Were About 'Mad Men'
by Sarah Marshall
If you read the State of the Union address through social media channels, women discussed equal pay with their Facebook friends, people over age 55 talked about Obamacare, Redditors discussed the minimum wage and many, many people tweeted about the president's reference to "Mad Men."
Here are the social-media numbers, according to Twitter and Facebook.

There were 1.7 million tweets sent from the start of the State of the Union address through to the conclusion of the official Republican response, according to the Twitter blog. Members of Congress sent 750 tweets during the course of President Obama's speech.
- The Mad Men reference about equal pay for women inspired 33,555 tweets per minute.

CBD Reports on African Meetings on Green Development Initiative
16 November 2011: The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) circulated information and a report prepared by Earthmind on behalf of the Green Development Initiative (GDI), containing the outcomes of two recent events held in Nairobi, Kenya - an African briefing, held on 11 October 2011, and the third expert meeting on the GDI, held from 9-11 October 2011.
The African briefing focused on the history and current status of the CBD Strategy for Resource Mobilization, and the ongoing development of the GDI.
The third expert meeting explored how a green development certification system could facilitate an increased flow of funds for biodiversity, particularly from the private sector. It also explored the key aspects of GDI certification in terms of the CBD's objectives and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The meeting reviewed potential pilot projects in Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and South Africa. It recommended that funding from developed country Parties to the CBD be made available for a pilot phase of the GDI to test the validity and marketability of green development land management certification.

Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep and Matt Damon honored twice
The biggest news with the thesp noms is the triple double: three actors score two nominations each. Not willing to settle for just one film a year can make a performer twice-blessed, which is what happened to Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep in 2009.
For Streep, this multinom stuff is old hat. She has won six Globes and now has been nominated 25 times over a 30-year span; last time out she got Globes noms for "Doubt" and "Mamma Mia!" Now she's in competish with herself for comedic turns in "Julie and Julia" and "It's Complicated."
Bullock is a bit lesser experienced with the Golden Globes game: She's been nominated twice in the past but has never won. This time she'll be looking at the two best actress categories, nominated for the drama "The Blind Side" and the comedy "The Proposal."
Also in the hunt are 10-time nominee and three-time winner Helen Mirren for "The Last Station"; three-time nominee and one-time winner Emily Blunt for "The Young Victoria"; and two newbies to the Globes experience, Carey Mulligan for "An Education" and Gabourey Sidibe for "Precious."
Rounding out the comedy/musical thesp noms are HFPA favorite Julia Roberts, bringing down her seventh nom, for "Duplicity," and Marion Cotillard for her emotional work in "Nine"; she won a Globe previously for "La Vie en rose."
The Globe voters obviously like real-life portrayals: Julia Child, football mom Leigh Anne Tuohy, Mrs. Leo Tolstoy and Queen Victoria take their place in this season's award-nomination bio gallery.
Over on the men's side, it is Matt Damon who has a double this year and a corner on the biopic. He scores nominations for portraying two very real — and very different — men. In the comedy slot, he grabs a nom for his role as the chubby, egotistic whistle-blower Mark Whitacre in "The Informant." He also takes home a supporting actor nom for his portrayal of the buff South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar in "Invictus."
Damon now has four actor noms to his credit, as does Jeff Bridges, honored this year for his dramatic country-music turn in "Crazy Heart."
In that lead dramatic actor slot, Bridges will be in competish with five-time nominee and one-time winner Morgan Freeman, portraying Nelson Mandela in "Invictus," and four-time nominee and two-time winner George Clooney, for "Up in the Air."
Not every nominee is a vet. It may come as a surprise that actors with long resumes — such as Colin Firth ("A Single Man") and Tobey Maguire ("Brothers") — have not previously received a Globe nom.
A couple of Globe newbies will be Damon's competition on the comedy side: Joseph Gordon-Levitt for "500 Days of Summer" and Michael Stuhlbarg for "A Serious Man."
Robert Downey Jr. returns to the Globes spotlight with "Sherlock Holmes." The only previous Globes winner in the comedy/musical actor category, however, is Daniel Day-Lewis, who brings down his sixth nom with "Nine."

He knows that if you wander into a place with dozens of active beer taps, plus another 100 or more brews available in bottles, and begin working your way through the menu, there might come a point in the night where you want to ingest something solid to cut down on the sloshing. And if somebody hands you a small pizza that's been folded up so that you can more easily cram it into your face, you're likely going to declare it the best thing ever.
But the Pigeon recently watched the Press-Register's Well-Fed Reporter eat one of Hopjacks' pita fold sandwiches in broad daylight, fully sober, and pronounce it delightful.
And that's all the Pigeon is going to say about the food at Hopjacks. Because there is so much to say about the beer at Hopjacks.
Flash back a few years to the Pigeon's first trip to Germany. All his life, he'd heard that German beers were vastly better than American ones. He was eager to see if this was true.
He found that the reality was a little different. The problem with American beers wasn't that they were bad — though some were reliably atrocious, of course — it was that they were all basically variations on the same light pilsner theme. Over there, he found a rainbow of styles and flavors. Red beers, black beers, wheat beers, bock beers.
Thanks to an explosion of craft brewing in the United States, and a change in Alabama law that allows the sale of beers with relatively high alcohol content, all that variety and more can now be found in Lower Alabama.
A survey of Hopjacks' wall of taps is almost daunting. You need an expert just to tell you where to start.
Hopjacks Pizza Kitchen & Taproom
251 Dauphin St, downtown Mobile (a companion store is at 10 S. Palafox in Pensacola)
251-445-6000, www.hopjacks.com
Owner: Joe Adfton; Kevin Houghton, Mobile general manager
Hours: 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. daily
What it'll cost you: Pizzas start at 4 for 6" pita-based models, $8 for 10", $14 for $16. A large array of toppings is available. Appetizers include dips, wings and garlic bread; most are in the $6-$7 range. Sandwiches and salads range from $5 to $14. Tap beers fall mostly in the $4-$5 range, with blends and bombs slightly higher. Bottled beers vary from $3 to as much as $17; most fall between $4 and $6. A limited selection of wines also are available.
Bombs, you
say? Why yes. If you've ever wondered how Abita root beer would taste
with a shot of Jagermeister, ask for the Bayou Bomb. The "Grape Drink,"
not to be confused with Purple Drank, infuses Pabst Blue Ribbon with a
shot of grape vodka. We dare you.
"We've got some servers who really enjoy beer," said manager Alicia Wolford. They're usually happy to talk things over. By the time somebody's a regular, Wolford said, "you can go ahead and grab them a beer without having to ask."
It pays to explore. On an outing with two middle-aged cronies, the Pigeon found that his tastes ran to the maltier beers, while his companions preferred the hoppier stuff. They didn't like the Tommyknocker Imperial Nut Brown Ale at all, but the Pigeon found it intriguing.
At the server's advice, he set it aside to warm up for a while. As it lost its chill, it became exquisite — though the two hopheads still didn't get it.
Hopjacks isn't exactly a beer hall, but it does tend to have a bustling, noisy, friendly feel. It's a good place to gather with a small group of friends (maybe a bigger one if you secure the upstairs room), but it's probably not the best place to try to watch the game.
The Pigeon hopes to make this next point in a way that won't offend any die-hard beer connoisseurs: Folks, these high-gravity beers don't just tend to be high in alcohol. They tend to be high in everything. "Rich" barely covers it. In many cases, you're talking about a meal in a mug.
Put five or six meals down your neck in the course of a night, and your digestive system might want to have a word with you in the morning. Enough said.
One more word on variety: As long as the list is, there are also multi-brew "in-store creations." Wolford's Chocolate Yeti, for example, mixes a Yeti Imperial Stout with a Rogue Chocolate Stout.
Speaking of the Rogue, a customer recently ordered one with a shot of cherry vodka, for a chocolate-covered-cherry effect. The only limit, it seems, is your imagination.
The Pigeon has said this before: It's a marathon, folks, not a sprint. Hopjacks is a place where you can go the distance, if you set your mind to it.

MT. MORRIS TWP, MI – A Mt. Morris Township police cruiser sustained significant damage over the weekend after a suspected drunken driver rear-ended it.
Lt. Matt Lasky said the cruiser was driving in the area of Saginaw Street north of Stanley Road around 12:45 a.m. March 2 when a newer-model Chevrolet pickup truck came from behind at a high rate of speed and hit the back of the cruiser.
Lasky said the cruiser was shoved across three lanes of traffic, through a parking lot and into a ditch. The officer was taken to the hospital, treated and released, Lasky said. The driver of the pickup, a 47-year-old Mt. Morris man, was arrested.
The Michigan State Police is handling the investigation. The man has not yet been charged.
The crash remains under investigation.

A number of veteran horseman who are no stranger to the Progressive Show Jumping circuit, have their students exhibiting this weekend at the PSJ Medal Finals. Brick Church Farm's Karen Kelley and Creekside Farm's Adrian Mack have had their students show regularly at both the PSJ local and A rated shows.
Mack has two of her students entered in the South Carolina Derby, and another will be exhibiting in the junior medal finals. Creekside Farm has seven head competing this weekend.
"I did my first PSJ show in 1990 in Lexington, S.C.," said Mack, who trains out of Irmo, S.C.
Brenda Terry is Mack's daughter, and the junior rider is showing this weekend in the PSJ Medal finals, and will return for the Palmetto Finals in Camden at the South Carolina Equine Park, Nov. 2-Dec. 30. Terry will be showing a 10-year-old bay Selle Francais she has had for the past 3 years. Terry competes on both the A and local circuits.
"She does the 3 foot six inch classes, the Maclay Medal," said Mack. "She's a senior in high school, so next year will be her last junior year."
The PSJ Medal Finals are an annual stop on Karen Kelley's Charleston-based Brick Church Farm's calendar. The trainer's students work all year long, exhibiting at shows to accumulate points toward qualifying for the medal finals.
A number of exhibitors at this week's show are in the process of accumulating points toward the South Carolina Hunter Derby finals Nov. 30-Dec. 2, with the finals itself being held in Camden at the South Carolina Equine Park. However, the points for the PSJ circuit had already been totaled, with the finals being held this weekend at Highfields Event Center.
"We have one adult and one junior in the medal finals, and we have another junior rider trying out a horse for next year," said Kelley. "We also have a cross railer who's trying to gain points toward the year end final."
Kelley was at the inaugural PSJ show, and believes the circuit is ideal for starting young riders, and provides horsemen with goals for the year.
"Aiken is very convenient to Charleston," said Kelley. "That's why you see a lot of us here. It's nice having the local and A circuits. We can use both circuits for the different types of riders and horses that we have in our barn. It pretty much keeps us going all year long."

My research focuses on building new expressive tools that take advantage of people's familiarity with the physical world, and studying how new media expand the interaction space and the change that could be brought out in the way people perceive this extended interaction space. For example, my research project, "I/O Brush: The World as a Palette," is an ongoing effort to design and develop tools that enable people to turn their world into a color palette consisting not only of colors, but also textures, movements, and sounds. My research investigates the potential of new interactive media that pushes us to actively expand the way we perceive the world and make new meanings.

Whether you're interested in getting a new job, changing careers, or hiring new employees, keeping abreast of job market trends is crucial. If you want to make your job-search time count or hire well, understanding the three biggest trends in the job market can help you succeed.
As it becomes more and more costly for employers to hire full-time employees, contract and temporary work is becoming more common. A 2012 CareerBuilder Forecast found that 40% of employers planned to hire temporary and contract workers in 2013. If you're looking for work, positions like these get you some experience while helping you make ends meet. The same CareerBuilder Forecast predicted that 42% of the employers hiring contract and temporary workers plan to transition some of those workers into permanent employment in the next year. Internships and contract or temp jobs deserve your full effort because they can lead to regular employment and other professional opportunities.
Social media's use has spread to nearly every facet of our lives, especially the job market. In 2011, 14.4 million people used social media to find their last job, 92% of recruiters used social media to fill positions and research candidates, and 73% of employers hired candidates through social media.
Given these numbers, a resume and cover letter are just not enoughto get you a job. Now that potential employers are searching for anything that mentions your name on the Internet and viewing all your social media pages, taking control of your online identity is more important than ever. Personal branding, positioning yourself as an expert in your field, and cultivating your network on social media are crucial to your success in job hunting. And some of your best job leads can come from your networked connections.
As companies try to do more with less, employers are left with highly specialized, technically sophisticated job openings and not enough candidates to fill them. According to the 2013 Workforce/Workplace Forecast from the management consultants at the Herman Group, "Trained, experienced workers will be in short supply in many fields."
Getting the skills you need for the jobs you want is the key to capitalizing on this trend. Focusing on and promoting your skill sets to boost your job search will brand you as the solution to employers' problems. Conduct information interviews with people who already have the position, or look at the requirements that most frequently appear in postings for the jobs you're interested in. Take classes to get the credentials you need to compete for these highly specialized jobs.
Branding yourself well and being willing to work at short-term jobs to get where you want to go are useful strategies for your job search. Working to enhance and promote your specialized skills and qualifications will make you stand out from the crowd when employers are looking to fill positions. Although the demand for labor is stronger now than it has been in recent years, taking the time to adapt to the expectations and challenges of the market can be the difference between staying unemployed and having your dream job.

Cameron! Bigelow! It's on!
Awards season! Yahoo! From the embarrassing, odorous awfulness of Kristin Chenoweth at the VH1 Critics' Choice Movie Awards, to Ricky Gervais eating directly from the dead body of Mel Gibson at the Golden Globes, to Whitney Houston knocking 'em cross-eyed at the BET Honors, it was a weekend kickoff of hysterical proportions. We at SideShow loved it best when Kathryn Bigelow beat former husband (1989-91) James Cameron for best director at the Critics' Choice. Ha-ha-ha! And her indie joint, The Hurt Locker, beat out his full-on industry blockbuster, Avatar, for best flick. Nya-nya-nya! Bigelow, who'd way lose to Cameron in a Tiresome Race, kept it classy and generous when asked about smacking him twice - but that smile said it all, girl! True, he got her back at the Golden Globes . . . so it's best two out of three at the Oscars! They're making book on it at Vegas already. 'Avatar' clat grossly inflated?

An exchange traded fund or ETF is a passive mutual fund that replicates a market index or commodity by holding the underlying security in its portfolio. The difference between an ETF and index fund is that the former is listed and traded on a stock exchange like a share. The investors first buy units from the mutual fund and subsequent transactions, including selling or buying additional units, are carried out on the stock exchange between investors or with the market maker called the authorised participant.
