With steadily declining mortality rates, progress in the 35-year War on Cancer in the U.S. deserves celebration as a tangible and hard-won achievement. The tremendous progress and increasing opportunity outlined in this issue of Cancer by Byers et al. thrust the cancer community and its far-reaching objectives into the middle of the national dialogue on how to fix the health care system so that everyone can benefit from what has been learned.

In a single generation the treatment of most women with early-stage breast cancer has changed dramatically. Clinical trials with more than 20 years of follow-up have documented that for appropriately selected patients breast conserving surgery, followed by whole breast irradiation, has an outcome equivalent to mastectomy. The appropriate selection of patients remains controversial. Questions remain regarding the role of new diagnostic imaging modalities, radiation therapy techniques, achieving optimal cosmesis, the choice and the timing of adjuvant chemotherapy, etc. To address these issues, the fifth international consensus conference of the Breast Health Institute, cosponsored by the European Institute of Oncology, was convened in Milan, April 29 through May 1, 2005. This article is a summary of the proceedings.

The p53-dependent G2/M checkpoint plays a key role in the maintenance of genomic integrity, thereby protecting cells from neoplastic progression. Reprimo, a gene involved in the p53-induced G2 cell cycle arrest, has been recently identified as a novel target for aberrant methylation in pancreatic and other cancers. The results of this study suggest that aberrant methylation of Reprimo is a common event in pancreatic carcinogenesis, associated with genetic instability, and unfavorable outcome after surgical resection.

The study aimed to determine trends in patterns of care after failure of primary prostate cancer treatment and to determine whether nonclinical factors influenced the receipt of secondary treatment. For men undergoing initial surgical or radiation therapy, tumor grade, year of diagnosis, and geographic region were associated with secondary therapy. However, no socioeconomic factors such as education, ethnicity, or income level were found to be associated. The study concluded that patterns of care after primary therapy varied regionally despite the dissemination of standardized definitions and results of randomized controlled trials.

A presalvage cryotherapy serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of >10 ng/mL and a PSA doubling time of ≤16 months were predictive of biochemical failure after salvage cryotherapy, a finding that may be clinically relevant when selecting patients who might benefit from salvage cryotherapy.

Men who received salvage radiotherapy after undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer had worse physical function before and after radiotherapy than men before or after surgery alone. Although salvage radiotherapy has been associated with unclear survival benefits, it adversely affected sexual and bowel function, and the health-related quality-of-life detriments of additional therapy must be weighed against improved prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival.

Members of a novel cytokine system (RANKL/RANK/OPG) play an important role in bone remodeling and in promoting skeletal metastasis. Determination of the levels of expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), its receptor (RANK), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in prostate cancer patients can therefore serve as useful markers of disease progression.

In this study, women who had malignant epithelial ovarian tumors were more likely to have methylation in multiple genes than women who had tumors with low malignant potential. Patients with a high methylation index had a significantly increased risk of disease progression; thus, the methylation of multiple genes may have clinical implications in the prognosis of women with ovarian cancer.

DNA ploidy shows comparable sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values to conventional cytology, and Hybrid Capture II. Unlike conventional cytology, DNA ploidy is semiautomated and can be performed in less than 8 hours. Cost effectiveness studies are under way, but in the authors' laboratory DNA ploidy is inexpensive.

The combination of paclitaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil had similar efficacy but increased toxicity compared with standard treatment regimens in patients with advanced or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Because of significant hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities, this regimen may not be appropriate for all patients in the palliative setting, although it may be useful as neoadjuvant therapy.

The current results suggest the hypothesis that folate insufficiency is a long-term risk factor that increases the rate of carcinogenic progression after exposure to environmental carcinogens. The present pilot chemopreventive study seems encouraging, with a complete response rate of 27% and no clinical or histologic progression of leucoplakia after a 6-month treatment.

Although the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 2002 staging system suggested that squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity (OSCC) with T4b is unresectable, the current retrospective results show that selected T4b OSCC patients were resectable with comparable outcomes to T4a OSCC patients. In addition, pN ≥2 was found to be the sole independent predictor for T4b in local control and survival.

The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of imatinib mesylate as treatment for patients with systemic mastocytosis. The results showed that imatinib mesylate at a dose of 400 mg daily was effective in the treatment in patients with systemic mastocytosis, even when the D816V mutation was present, although the effect was most prominent in those without this mutation.

The authors analyzed survival in relation to tumor morphology for Hodgkin disease (HD) in U.S. and European populations. Their findings indicated that morphology strongly influences survival and that differences in morphologic case mix can explain a part but not all of the geographic variation in the survival of patients with HD.

Although splenectomy has been reported to palliate massive splenomegaly in patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, it carries significant risks. In the current study, the authors retrospectively analyzed their experience with splenectomy over 30 years to analyze the impact of improved techniques, antimicrobials, and aggressive postoperative control of platelet counts on outcomes.

When compared with previously published protocols, preoperative radiation therapy with selective dose escalation to the margin at risk is tolerable and allows higher radiation dose to the volume judged to be at greatest risk for local tumor recurrence. Theoretical treatment plans suggest that significant dose escalation (as high as 80 grays) may be possible to the margin at risk.

Array comparative genomic hybridization on central chondrosarcomas identified 22 chromosomal regions that were lost in >25% of the tumors tested. Within these regions, a correlation with expression was observed for the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and ribosomal proteins 6 (RPS6) genes, the latter which has not been investigated previously in chondrosarcomas.

When fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is performed and interpreted by physician specialists, it is a reliable and clinically useful initial diagnostic test for palpable masses. Until recently, high-quality FNAB services were limited to academic centers in the U.S. However, with an increase in fellowship-trained cytopathologists, community-based specialty FNAB services like that described in this report are becoming more available.

I am glad to see that all of our political leaders were named in this letter but, if we want to know how we got here, we need only to look at the late, great, conservative Ronald Reagan, the man that brought us "Trickle Down" economics. He gave amnesty to about 2-3 million illegals that have been legally growing their numbers since 1986-7 that are now a formidable voting block. The republicans wanted the cheap labor but did not foresee the fact that their party offers them nothing and, along with other disenfranchised voters, will spell the demise of old, white, wealthy, conservatives in our nation and, will return us to a country of "we are all in this together", instead of "I've got mine, you get yours".

Drug Waste From America-Bound Medications Produced In India: Shocking!
Submitted by SteveMT on Mon, 01/26/2009 - 01:04Now I know why there is so much antibiotic drug resistance in the world.
"If you take a bath there, then you have all the antibiotics you need for treatment,"
At first, Joakim Larsson, an environmental scientist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, questioned whether 100 pounds a day of ciprofloxacin could really be running into the stream.
World's highest drug levels entering India stream
1/25/2009, 9:54 p.m. CST
By MARGIE MASON
The Associated Press
PATANCHERU, India (AP) — When researchers analyzed vials of treated wastewater taken from a plant where about 90 Indian drug factories dump their residues, they were shocked. Enough of a single, powerful antibiotic was being spewed into one stream each day to treat every person in a city of 90,000.
And it wasn't just ciprofloxacin being detected. The supposedly cleaned water was a floating medicine cabinet — a soup of 21 different active pharmaceutical ingredients, used in generics for treatment of hypertension, heart disease, chronic liver ailments, depression, gonorrhea, ulcers and other ailments. Half of the drugs measured at the highest levels of pharmaceuticals ever detected in the environment, researchers say.
Those Indian factories produce drugs for much of the world, including many Americans. The result: Some of India's poor are unwittingly consuming an array of chemicals that may be harmful, and could lead to the proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria.

Not sure about every state, but I believe in AZ only the homeless, disabled and elderly that are on the EBT program are allowed to use the card for "prepared" meals at participating restaurants. Those of us who are perfectly capable of cooking a meal at home should not be using the card outside of normal grocery shopping. However, I don't believe the state requires the participant to prove they are eligible to purchase a prepared hot meal and I doubt the restaurants are required to "police" such.

ICT government spending remains cautious
- 19 December, 2012 11:28
- Comments
ICT spending within the Australian government sector will remain cautious in the next 12 months and is set to hit $7.053 billion in 2015, an increase of 2.7 per cent from this year, which is expected to hit $6.481 billion, according to analyst firm IDC.
The IDC report titled Australian Government ICT Market 2011-2015 details ICT spending across state, local and federal government verticals.
According to the report, spending will be cautious due to the uncertainty of its ability to deliver a budget surplus of $1 billion in 2012/13 from a budget deficit of A$44 billion in the previous period.
However, IDC Australian vertical market analyst, David So, said the government is committed to spending on new projects, with 30 per cent being allocated to drive expansionary spending as opposed to maintenance spending from upgrades and renewals of existing products and services.
Based on the report, the government aims to generate significant cost efficiencies by deploying cloud-based infrastructure and a whole-of-government approach in its ICT procurement policy.
"The 35 vendors that were selected in the multi use list for the government's Data Centre-as-a-Service (DCaaS) are well positioned to assist the government in achieving the A$1 billion cost savings from the procurement of cloud-based services," So said.
Some of the hot spots the Australian government is beginning to gain an appetite for new generation technologies includes cloud, mobility, social and big data.
"These ICT growth pillars will not only significantly cut the costs of the government organisations but also will increase productivity and efficiency of the public servants. These productivity improvements should align with its strategic priorities of delivering better service, engage openly and improve government operations," he said.

What is the Flu?
The flu is a respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. The flu is not the same as a cold, although they share many of the same symptoms. The cold is caused by a different virus, and it tends to have milder symptoms than the flu. Colds are also less likely to cause serious complications.
When the influenza virus gets into the body, it moves into the respiratory tract. Once there, it binds to the surface of cells. The virus then opens and releases its genetic information (RNA) into the cell's nucleus. The nucleus is where the cell's genetic information (DNA and RNA) is stored. The virus replicates, or copies itself, and takes over the functions of the cell. The copies of the virus move to the cell membrane until the cell finally dies and releases them out into the body, where they go on to infect other cells.
The respiratory tissues swell up and become inflamed (the inflammation usually heals within a few weeks). As the virus moves through the respiratory tract and into the bloodstream, the first symptoms begin to emerge. The replication process continues for up to several days, until the body's immune system begins to fight the virus off.
Flu symptoms can include any or all of the following:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Fever
- Body aches
- Runny nose and/or congestion
- Tiredness
These symptoms, although uncomfortable, are generally not dangerous. But the flu also weakens the immune system, leaving it vulnerable to more serious infections. High-risk individuals in particular are susceptible to serious complications, such as:
- Bacterial pneumonia
- Dehydration
- Sinus problems and ear infections (primarily in children)
- Worsening of preexisting conditions, such as asthma or diabetes

- How Your Immune System Works
- Have a sense of humor! A good laugh can send up to 20 percent more blood pumping through the body.
- Due to work-related stress, you're most likely to have a heart attack on a Monday than any other day of the week! Try stress-relieving activities (like yoga or mediation) on this day.
- Men and women have different heart attack symptoms, and it's actually more difficult for women to tell when they are having an attack. Women who feel faint or short of breath should call 911.
- Don't light up. Quit smoking, and you'll cut your risk of coronary heart disease by 50 percent in just one year.
- Steer clear of smokers. Approximately 38,000 people die each year from heart and blood vessel diseases caused by secondhand smoke.
- Don't have time to fit in a full 30-minute workout? Try to fit in three, 10-minute sessions instead. Both provide the same benefits for your heart.
- Eat a diet low in these three nutrients: fat, cholesterol, and salt. They contribute to high cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Heart disease is the single biggest killer of both men and women. The best prevention tool is a healthy lifestyle and an annual doctor's appointment.
- Lack of sleep can lead to irregular heart function. Aim to get seven to nine hours!
- Get up from your desk. People who sit hunched over their computer for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of heart attacks.
- A broken heart can literally increase one's risk for heart attack. Heal after a break-up by taking time to grieve and then surrounding yourself with positive friends.
- Wash dinner down with wine – but just one glass! Scientists have found that moderate amounts of red and white wines can be helpful in preventing heart disease.
- Big hearts really do exist. But they're not a sign of greater affection -- they indicate an increased risk for heart disease.
- Say "yes, please" to potassium. Loading up potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, and other potassium-rich foods can lower blood pressure by 10 points, according to a recent study.
- Get full off fiber. This heart-healthy nutrient can reduce blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Aim for 25 grams per day.
- When going out to eat, be wary these words: fried, au gratin, crispy, scalloped, pan-fried, sautéed, buttered, or creamed. They usually mean this dish is packed with heart-harming saturated fats.
- Be berry merry. Ladies who ate three or more bowlfuls of berries (specifically blueberries and strawberries) per week cut their of heart attack by approximately 30 percent.
- Eat chocolate. Indulging regularly could reduce your risk for heart attack by roughly 37 percent. Just keep the chocolate dark (more antioxidants) and the portion small (one ounce).
- Say Namaste. Yoga can help reduce irregular heartbeats.
- Eating well and exercising regularly has a greater impact on your risk for heart disease than your family history.

James Gandolfini's Death: 'Eating With the Enemy' Writer Can't Imagine Anyone Replacing Him
Pat Healy told THR about his last meeting with the "Sopranos" star and his plans for the HBO movie left up in the air.
Among those mourning the sudden death of James Gandolfini was screenwriter Pat Healy, who was working with Gandolfini on the upcoming HBO movie Eating With the Enemy.
Healy had just seen The Sopranos star last Friday.
"I just talked to him on Friday, and we were just laughing together, and he gave me a big hug. I told him to have a good trip, and I expected to talk to him when he got back," Healy told The Hollywood Reporter.
When Healy learned that Gandolfini had died, he didn't believe it, he said. When told the news was true, the screenwriter pulled over the car he was driving and wept.
PHOTOS: James Gandolfini's Life and Career in Pictures
Although Healy said he was initially intimidated by the acting legend, later meetings they had were loose and full of laughter.
"We spent time telling each other our stories, and we were very open with each other," Healy said. "I was surprised and happy that he felt comfortable to be that way with me."
Eating With the Enemy is one of the many projects left up in the air by Gandolfini's unexpected death.
The HBO movie, which Healy is still writing, was set to star Gandolfini as Bobby Egan, a NJ barbecue chef who became a conduit between the U.S. and North Korea for roughly 15 years, starting in the early '90s.
Gandolfini's Attaboy Films and Tribeca Productions were producing the project.
STORY: James Gandolfini Died of Cardiac Arrest, Autopsy Confirms
Healy says Gandolfini's death has inspired him to move forward with the film.
"I think I'm even more motivated now to [finish the script] for Jim because I know that we all feel like he would have wanted us to," he said.
While there haven't yet been discussions about who will take over Gandolfini's role, Healy said he can't envision anyone replacing him.
"I personally can't imagine anyone playing the role anymore now that I've seen him reading it."
Healy also shared with THR some details about his role in the upcoming film, Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner as the general manager of the Cleveland Browns who's trying to secure the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
Healy said he plays the Jacksonville Jaguars GM, who's one of the people Costner is negotiating with.

Comics aren't just for kids, and illustrations don't merely transpose text into image. Picture stories can do more than just tell a simple, illiterate narrative, and design, well, design infiltrates the visual aspects of nearly everything that surrounds us. If these statements seems like truisms, they are, but they were hardly obvious conclusions just a few years ago, before the arts once considered merely commercial exploded into the mainstream. Unlike any other publication, the Ganzfeld gathers together a diverse sampling of recent design, illustration, and comics, together with essays that place them in a historical and critical context. Better still, this volume includes the first publication of comics genius Chris Ware's color sketchbooks; endpapers designed by nest editor Joseph Holtzman, covers by the Beastie Boys and GAP designer Mike Mills; an illustrated story by Maira Kalman; wallpaper designs by a cartoonist, a fine artist, an illustrator, and a designer; visual reportage on the Venice Biennale by Paul Davis; and far too much more to mention here.

Jean Staten Healy, Head of Cross-IBM Linux Strategy, has a lot of good insights into the future of Linux in the cloud. She believes, as many do, that open source Linux is the secret to making the cloud adoptable, if you will. Josh Dorfman, Director of Alliance marketing at Novell, agrees with Healy in many ways about the benefits of Linux in the cloud. As we spoke to both of them on cloudchasers, we started to see that there were many reasons Linux and cloud just works.
All these reasons work together as a web, mimicking the community aspect of open source itself. For instance, community aids collaboration, which eases lock-in fears and aids in virtualization and infrastructure development. You can look at these reasons individually, as I will do, but there's no way I can intelligently talk about one without mentioning a couple of the others. The web brings you back in a circle, because you collectively touch upon each of these individual reasons as one fat open source solution to cloud adoption.
1. Linux Brings Community to the Cloud
The Linux Open Source developers have always been a strong community, with values and goals for maintaining true software freedom. They carry their sense of community with them everywhere, especially to the cloud. Linux is perfect for the cloud simply because of this communal nature, which fosters collaboration. In the words of Healy, Linux has always given customers a choice, resulting in their getting the greatest value. She says "Open source will continue to play an enabling role in the cloud."
However, some argue that if Linux moves to the cloud, its sense of community will be destroyed by the cloud's environment of service providers. The infrastructure components in the cloud are currently controlled by a few big groups, including Amazon and Google. The small numbers alone stifle the concept of free and open source. Ultimately, this would be bad for Linux.
But Healy disagrees. She proposes a new perspective focused on opportunity for Linux. "I think it's an opportunity for open source," she tells cloudchasers. "Open source has gone through a various evolution over the last ten years; it started off on the edge of the data center, it moved to the core of the data center, and now it is managing new generation workloads and utility computing in the cloud…. I would expect that the Linux community would continue to push the envelope here. It's just a new innovative, next generation workload. Because of its nature and how it historically has been, I wouldn't except any change except for the better."
Her words reflect her company greatly, for IBM has always taken part in the Linux community. Staten mentions how IBM has always been one of the largest contributors to the Linux kernel, supporting hundreds of developers in its Linux technology center. She thinks that it is important for IBM to be part of the Linux community in its move to the cloud. "IBM is an active participant, not just a passive user," says Healy.
2. Open Source Linux Eases IAAS Challenges
Dorfman gave us a great number to consider. He said that according to a recent IBM study, 470 out of 500 of the world's supercomputers run open source. There absolutely have to be reasons for that staggering number, and there are quite a few. Open source has a role in building different cloud infrastructures because of the same assets that make it valuable to supercomputers. According to Dorfman, it has the flexibility to build things in a modular fashion. It has the ability to scale. It gives us choices, alleviating our anxiety about commitment.
"There's a lot of choice and flexibility [in open source]," says Dorfman. "That's why you find a lot of cloud providers, such as service providers and builder of internal clouds, using open source framework. They have support of the [open source] community, vendors support that type of environment, and it is scalable."
For a lot of people, Linux/FOSS seems to satisfy the infrastructure as a service issue. It has all the necessary components to support Iaas in the cloud, including scalability, flexibility, and community backup.
Dorfman says, "It becomes the lifeblood for that infrastructure component of the cloud."
3. Open Virtualization is a Great Tool for Providers
Healy and Dorfman both agree that open virtualization is a key component to the cloud. As a service provider, you will get the most out of the cloud environment by using open source virtualization technology. Scalability is important in this issue, which is certainly provided, and helps providers gain "critical mass", in Dorfman's words. Also, you have the ability to move things around in a dynamic fashion.
Dorfman's example of this is to imagine having a huge sale one day that you typically don't support on a regular basis. With open virtualization in the cloud, you can scale up your capacity to support the new volume of sales. You don't need that on a regular basis, just for those special days- for which open virtualization is the perfect solution.
4. The Nature of Linux Minimizes Vendor Lock-In
Another big barrier to cloud adoption, almost reaching that of security, is the fear of vendor lock-in. You may think that lock-in is inevitable, but Linux Open Source hopes to prove you wrong in this aspect also. There is a huge faction that believes Linux is truly the answer to preventing vendor lock-in. We can bring back the argument of community and collaboration here, connecting the web that I mentioned earlier, as a proposed solution to lock-in. With collaboration among various parts of the community, there seems to be hope that lock-in can be avoided. Checks and balances will naturally fall in place in the open source cloud model.
"Linux can go across various platforms and can be supported by various architectures," says Healy. "Open standards certainly minimize vendor lock-in. one of the things that I think is key here is that Linux can stand on its own with the flexibility, the scalability, the reliability, and the cost effectiveness it's been known to offer outside the cloud."
What Healy is saying is, user of Linux pre-cloud know its benefits. If you are happy with Linux outside the cloud, you will continue to be happy with it in a cloud environment.
Dorfman brings up the issue of API's as another way to ease lock-in fears. "When people look at their cloud provider or the different ways they may deploy in the cloud," he says, "a big part is around those API's. So you have open standards, and then you have API's that people can write to. Open API's alleviates the fear of lock-in regardless of what the underlying infrastructure is."
Overall, the consensus is that open source Linux provides too much flexibility for lock-in to really stand a chance.
Mind the Gap!
This all seems like such a solid argument, but we can't help notice and address the obvious gap between the cloud and the business. Why are people simply not moving their businesses to the cloud? Some may have adopted certain aspects of the cloud, some may have moves partially (a very small part) to the cloud. Some even employ virtualized technology and call it as good as cloud! Security and lock-in fears are one thing, but it also may come down to the fact that people just do not want to be first. No one wants to be the trail blazer in this area, and hey, who can blame them? A certain amount of trepidation is expected. But open source Linux truly eases most cloud fears, and we hope that people will one day see that.

Probation is for 6 months. Ends May 15, 2013. Also have to do 26 classes. The classes are 1a week. Once released from jail took the courts 6 weeks to FINALLY scan the paperwork to probation. I called everyday since released & finally they said come to orientation class first week of Jan. Could not offically start classes for another 2 weeks after orientation because that is when they finally received the paperwork. Now got a letter VOP because can't finish the recommended classes before the 15th. went to court last week & posponed again until this coming Wed because probation showed up and did not have my folder (unprepared). Judge says cannot extend probation until they have the paperwork. How can extend it when it clearly no fault of my own they took weeks to scan the papers & holidays

Serial robber responsible for 10 crimes
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - A man accused of nearly a dozen robberies in Newport News has struck again, according to police.
Harold Eley with the Newport News Police Department said officers were dispatched to the Family Dollar located at 5051 Jefferson Avenue just before 3:30 p.m. Sunday for a report of a robbery.
When they arrived, they discovered an unknown black male sporting fake facial hair ordered the manager to bring him cash at gunpoint. Eley said the suspect ordered several customers to a part of the store so he could see them. Everyone was then ordered to the back of the store as the suspect fled on foot.
Felicia Gayle shops at the Family Dollar nearly every day. She told WAVY.com she is thankful Sunday's rain kept her indoors or she might have been inside when a gunman walked in.
"The good thing, ain't nobody get hurt," Gayle said.
Police say the suspect has robbed 10 Family Dollar or discount stores with a handgun since November 2011. Almost every time, he walks in the store, asks for a manager and demands money from the safe and the cash register.
"He seemed to understand the layout of the store that he was in," Eley said.
Eley says police are looking into the possibility that the man works for or has worked for a Family Dollar.
"This person comes in, knows the location of the cameras, stands in certain areas where he wants to stand to make sure that we don't get to see him very well," Eley said. In every case the robber wears a disguise. "It looks like moth balls, only dark in color or black in color, and he's got them all over his face in a bearded shape," Eley said.
Police say the victims have done everything right by listening to the gunman's demands.
"You don't want to confront him," Eley said. "You don't want to get him off his script because we believe the only reason he's there is for the cash. It is possible that it's gone on so long it could escalate. He hasn't shown any signs of that, but it could and we want to make sure that is doesn't."
As scary as these robberies are, no one WAVY.com spoke with Monday said they would stop shopping at Family Dollar stores.
"They're robbing everywhere, so you'd basically have to stay at home if you're trying to get away from it," Walter Washington of Newport News said.
Instead shoppers promise to be more vigilant.
"I will look and I'm going to call 911," Gayle said.
That is exactly what investigators want to hear.
"Call us. Don't wait! In some cases persons have seen an individual hanging out in front of a store or near a store and it turns out to be the same individual, but no one bothered to call," Eley said.
The suspect is described as a black male standing 5'7" to 5'8 with a husky build. Aside from the fake facial hair, he was wearing sunglasses, a horizontal striped shirt and black hooded sweatshirt at the time of Sunday's robbery.
Sunday's robbery is 10th by the same suspect in Newport News and at least nine similar robberies have occurred in Hampton. Both departments say they are sharing information on these cases. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

My first trip to the Redwoods. We drove on both sides of the Smith River. Beautiful, quiet, alone with the towering giants. They took my breath away! My husband has been through other parts of the Redwoods, but this was his favorite.

The Smith River is one of the few un-dammed rivers in California--and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Any time of the year is a great time to visit, but summer allows some swimming, too. My favorite time of the year is late fall--the trees are beautiful.
We felt so privileged to walk among these amazing trees. It was quiet, a few people were there. We walked the loop, an easy walk, and want to return soon.
Grew up here - went away - came back and they were part of the reason. Dorothy had the Emerald City I have an Emerald Kingdom. If you've not been here come and see them !
We were tooling up the coast coming from the big vintage travel trailer rally at Pismo Beach with our vintage rig. We were in that period before Memorial Day when you can actually wander a bit without reservations. We blew through some places before finding this. And it was great. We were able to camp pretty near the river which... More
We have stopped here on the way to the Oregon coast several times. This is a beautiful forest with old growth trees and nice trails. It seems like the campgrounds are very private (we haven't camped here yet). There is a pebbly beachfront area at a shallow part of the river for campers or day trippers. The first time that... More
We spent three days checking out all portions of the Redwoods National Park and the State Parks and the absolute best part was the 6 mile unpaved road in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

Beautiful old growth forest and redwood trees and easy to walk on the natural walkway! We went early in the morning, absolutely no crowds and we were so happy when the light started to come through the tree tops.
We came here since the national parks were shut down- man was it a blessing in disguise! We did the mill creek hike (it was called mill something.. i forget) It was great! Had some creek crossings and lots of magnificent trees to look up at! If you want to see redwoods- come here!!
An excellent experience! Take your time and enjoy your surroundings! I swear we saw a profile of a monkey on one of the trees. See if you see it! We took a picture and our family agrees. Standing next to the these beautiful trees makes any person feel like a small bug.

what options do we have to help inmate stay in the US after serving incarceration sentence
One of two things might be happening. It is possible that ICE doesn't know that he is a US citizen. Another possibility is that an illegal act was committed prior to him becoming a US citizen, assuming the inmate gained his citizenship through naturalization.
Contact an attorney and have the attorney communicate with ICE and the detaining agency.

Super Brain!
Lisa Cutforth - Wednesday, February 04, 2009
Do you want to stay focused? Do you want a sharp mind? Do you want a good memory?
Check out the easy tips below to look after your brain... (p.s. these tips will also give you more energy!!!)
For those of you that attended the function on Monday: Good for you! You now know 5 ways to keep your brain young and focused, thanks for being in the audience! I would LOVE to hear how you are going implementing the 5 keys. If you haven't started yet, I would love to help you to get started!
So I thought I would write a quick reminder for you!
Number 1:
Remember to breath!
This brought a laugh from a few of you. It is SO obvious, isn't it?! yet most of us only breath using 20-30% of our breathing capacity! Oxygen is a vital "nutrient" for our bodies, it is an essential ingredient in the process of getting energy out of food, and it is absolutely vital for the health of our brain. We can survive without food for weeks, water for days but without oxygen for a few minutes we would die!
How to breath properly:
Breath into your stomach, put your 3 fingers above your belly button and breath in so that you can feel your "tummy" expand and your fingers move outwards, breath out slowly and feel your "tummy" move inwards. Be aware of your breath as you inhale and exhale, but don't force it. Breath in and then breath out. Whenever you are feeling stressed or tense, REMEMBER to stop and breath! By bringing your attention to your breath, you will immediately feel calmer and you will oxygenate the brain for clarity.
Number 2: Control your blood sugar!
This is vital for concentration, focus, clarity of mind, attention and sustained energy. The best ways to do this are:
- Always eat breakfast
- Eat small regular meals
- Combine protein and carbohydrates at meal times
- Choose whole grain or low GI/GL foods and limit refined carbohydrates and sugary foods
- Limit stimulants
- Fish oils such as sardines, salmon, tuna
- Seeds and nuts
- Cold pressed oils such as olive oil or flax seed oil
- Avocado

23 years for burglary but another man got 25 years for MURDER during a burglary. Does not seem fair does it?
The fair game just isin't played when it comes to these low life, scum of the earth who feel they have the right to break in law abiding citizens homes and take what they have worked hard for. Many of these scums families all know what they are up to and just come right in court and back their sweet little babies up.
The whole system here in SC is messed up. Unless it's a really high profiled incident where the high up officials can get the spot light shined on them, these burgulary cases just dissolve away.

Anonymous asked: That quote that says "sometimes I can hear my bones straining under all of the lives I am not living" is actually from Sylvia Plath's book, The Bell Jar. It's very well written and I recommend it but in honor of the dead author, don't fucking say the quote is from someone else alright? Please correct this.
Sorry, what?
I can't hear you over the sound of you being completely incorrect and rude.
