Sherman John Allen, 95, passed away on April 22, 201l in Minden.
He was born July 12, 1915 in Haynesville to parents, Martha Ann Harper and George A. Allen.
He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings Verbie Allen, Theron "Toots" Allen, Felton "Sonny" Allen, Sybil Baldwin and former wife, Corrine Taylor Allen all of Minden.
Survivors include children, Loretta Allen Sharpling and husband, William T. "T-Bone" Sharpling and Sherman Wayne Allen of Minden; former daughter-in-law, Beverly Shattuck Allen of Memphis, Tennessee; five granddaughters and their families, Terri and Robert Billeck of Conway, Arkansas, Susan and Chuck Haynes of Mesquite, Texas, Kelly Parker of Platte City, Missouri, Dana Allen-Khmous and Donna Allen-Khmous of Memphis; 11 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren.
Sherman was a hard-working man who started at a very young age at the family dairy. He later went into construction and then had a career at Texas Eastern Products Pipeline where he retired in El Dorado, Arkansas.
He was a member of the Minden Chapter Masonic Lodge and served as captain with the Union County Mounted Patrol.
He loved the outdoors and was an avid sportsman, loving hunting and fishing. His friends and family looked forward to summer because of his green thumb in his garden, and he will always be remembered for his ability to barbeque and his BBQ sauce recipe.

Lucrezia Borgia - Synopsis
Lucrezia Borgia
Felice Romani after Victor Hugo
In Venice.
Young men are discussing the horror stories being told about the curse on the Borgia family, warning each other to be careful in any dealings with them, especially with Lucrezia,
of whom it is said that she poisons people. The young men have their reasons: they denounce Lucrezia as the murderer of their relations.
Gennaro is the lone wolf in the group. He has no idea who his mother and father were. When a woman appears to him, as if in a dream, he immediately feels drawn to her. The woman takes him tenderly in her arms, like a mother cradling a child. But Gennaro's friends wake him: the woman to whom he feels so close is Lucrezia Borgia.
Act One
In Ferrara. At night. At the court of the Duca D'Este and his wife, Lucrezia Borgia.
Gennaro and his friends have been invited to Ferrara by the Venetian ambassador. Spies, thieves and murderers surround them. The Duca D'Este suspects that Gennaro is his wife's lover. Even Gennaro's friends tease him, hinting that he is having an affair with Lucrezia. This provokes Gennaro to destroy Lucrezia's coat of arms on the duke's palace. Lucrezia demands of her husband that he should have the person guilty of this crime killed. The Duca has Gennaro arrested and brought before Lucrezia. Lucrezia, having insisted that the culprit should be killed, is forced by her husband to poison Gennaro. At the last minute she is able to save him by giving him an antidote. Gennaro cannot understand why he is drawn to Lucrezia again and again.
Act Two
Hours later in Ferrara. It is again night.
Gennaro wants to leave Ferrara but his friend Maffio Orsini reminds him how they have sworn to stay together always, through life and in death.In the end, Lucrezia has all Gennaro's friends poisoned, all those who destroyed the dream of her life that day in Venice, the dream of being unrecognized andloved by someone just for herself. She now takes her revenge and becomes the poisoner the whole world has always taken her for. But again her revenge falls on the one she loves: Gennaro. This time he refuses to accept the antidote. As he dies he finally learns what has always drawn him to Lucrezia.
She is his mother.

The Wisconsin State Fair doesn't open until August 1st, but we're learning something disturbing about one the bigger attractions to the annual gathering in West Allis.
The cream puff is a rite of passage for many Wisconsinites, and is often the only time a person (like me) will indulge in the popular pastry.
But WBAY-TV has unmasked the dirty, little secret that's inside this year's line of cream puffs.
The whipped cream will come from Illinois.
I'll give you a minute to pick your jaw up from the floor....
According to the story, the whipped cream filling had been made for the past 80 years (give or take) at the Golden Guernsey dairy farm in Waukesha. The farm shut down last December.
So as a replacement, the Wisconsin Bakers Association found Illinois-based Prairie Farms to handle filling all those puffs for this summer.
"We talked to a lot of different Wisconsin dairies and part of the problem is that large volume of cream that we pull during the State Fair is a lot for someone to handle," Wisconsin Bakers Association CEO David Schmidt said.
Want some more interesting dairy-related news....
According to Schmidt, Prairie Farms receives their milk from 44 Wisconsin counties and currently provides more than 90 percent of the milk served in Madison and Milwaukee schools.
Apparently this "trucking in milk" from outside the Badger State isn't anything new. That point is echoed by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, which says a lot of the milk people in Wisconsin drink come from outside the state. Nearly 90 percent of the milk produced in the Dairy State is used to make cheese.
As Paul Harvey used to say, "Now you know the REST of the story."

New Rage video and 'Anarchy' edition bonuses
If you weren't already planning to pre-order Rage, developer id Software came up with a few incentives as extra encouragement. Currently confirmed only for North America, everyone who pre-orders Rage from participating retailers Gamestop, Amazon.com, Steam, and Direct-to-Drive will be automatically upgraded to the "Anarchy" edition.
This special version includes four in-game items that won't be available elsewhere:
- Double Barrel Shotgun: The classic id weapon, this time in a one-handed version
- Crimson Elite Armor: On exiting the Arc, players must don new armor for the wasteland. This special version combines all three attribute boosts of the individual armors otherwise available
- Fists of RAGE: a powerful melee weapon good for laying a wallop on mutants who get too close
- Rat Rod Buggy: a custom ride that replaces the standard issue buggy in the game
The Anarchy edition also includes the Wasteland sewer missions, an extra set of adventures that take place in a series of tunnels and old abandoned structures underground.
While September is still a ways off, id also released a five minute trailer featuring gameplay from a mission into the dead city to retrieve defibrillator parts from an old hospital. It one of the levels I got to play during Bethesda's demo event and will have impressions of coming shortly in a full Rage preview. Until then, check out the video and see how Rage looks in action for yourself.

are 30 fewer gang members on the streets of Toledo after police conducted a
gang sweep recently.
mission was to reduce gang and gun violence in the area. Toledo Police, along
with Lucas, Wood and Ottawa county sheriff's offices accomplished that.
also sends a strong message to the community that we take the gang issue
seriously," said Sgt. Kevin Braun, with TPD. "It gets bad people off the
streets, so it's just a good effort. It's a good thing for us to do every once
in awhile, and I think it sends the right message."
Police say they always consider a gang sweep a success, no matter how many
people they arrest and charge, because there's at least one less criminal on
the streets. In
this particular sweep, police arrested 30 people. Eighteen felony charges were filed.
this particular situation, we had good totals," Braun said. "Lots of felony
arrests, and a lot of bad people were taken off the streets, so yeah, it was
highly successful."
says they target areas based on tipsters, complains, and by looking at where
officers are often going for criminal activity.
ask,] 'Where does it seem like the problems are the most prevalent?' And then
you sit down and you decide where you're going to target and who you're going
to go after, and then you go out and do it," he said.
says they go after specific people, but also patrol certain neighborhoods.

WKBT-TV morning news anchor Jennifer Livingston has a message for the man who criticized her weight in an email: he's a bully and she's more than a number on a scale.
Livingston says she has thick skin, "literally and otherwise," but what really set her off was the fact that this viewer is clearly setting a poor example for children and fostering the problem of bullying in schools.
"If you are at home and you are talking about the fat news lady, guess what? Your kids are probably going to go to school and call somebody fat," she said in an on-air response Tuesday.
"To all of the children out there who feel lost, who are struggling with your weight, the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability, even the acne on your face. Listen to me now. Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies. Learn from my experience that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts of many."
Watch the video on YouTube.
Livingston's response has turned into a huge talker on Facebook, and she made the rounds on the morning news networks on Wednesday, but there's a blooming debate about whether what she faced was bullying or simple rudeness.
"That e-mail was articulate. It was well written, but make no mistake about it, it was meant to hurt my feelings," Livingston said on CBS. "It was meant to shame me into losing weight, and in my opinion, that's a bully."
The social media storm began on Friday when Livingston's husband, also an anchor in La Crosse, took to Facebook to post the critical e-mail, which cited obesity as a dangerous health condition and said community personalities should be role models. The writer did not say she shouldn't be on TV because she is unattractive. Rather, he said it was irresponsible to set a bad example and asked Livingston to reconsider her responsibility to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The e-mail was certainly critical, but is it bullying? Family counselor Nina Johnson says no one on the outside can make that call.
"It's all in the perception," she said. "If a person feels attacked or intimidated or hurt, they will probably consider that bullying."
Jillian Lampert, of the Emily Project, works with those who struggle with eating disorders. She says half of those people have been teased about their weight. She commended Livingston for standing up to the writer.
"To me, [she's] a very good role model because it tells us that we're looking beyond superficial physical appearances and presumably looking at the quality of your brain," Lampert said.
The video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube, but media ethics professor Jane Kirtley took exception to the anchors using air time to discuss personal issues.
"Simply because something is suddenly trending on Twitter or getting a lot of hits on YouTube doesn't necessarily mean -- in the limited amount of time that we have available to cover the news -- that this is a good use of our time," she said.

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
Clothing is an amalgam of many processes, some conceptual like the design, and some constructional like the fabric and decoration. The material that comprises an outfit, how it is made and by whom, and its final appearance are the focus of this section. Fabrics come in a vast variety of types, from the natural fibres of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: wool, cotton, linen and sillk; to the man-made materials of the twentieth century: rayon, polyester, vinyl and synthetics. These can be decorated in a range of ways: woven, printed, embroidered; or manipulated by pleating, quilting, smocking and slashing. Any garment usually has many layers of constrution from raw material to finished product, and these transformations are what the fashion designer or clothing manufacturer envisages, creates and markets.
Techniques such as printing, beading and smocking are highlighted here to explain some of the processes which contribute to fashion's constant metamorphosis.

Telehealth Demonstration Launched to Improve Cancer Research and Care
On March 1, HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson and NCI Director Andrew von Eschenbach launched a state-of-the-art, broadcast-quality telemedicine system at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) in Amman, Jordan.
"For so many regions of the world, technology and telemedicine will mean the difference between life and death for many patients," Thompson said. "I applaud the continued collaboration among all the nations who are working together to make our world a healthier place for all of us."
The demonstration of the system in Amman involved a link to St. Luke's Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, for a consultation on a patient at KHCC. The system will promote collaboration between cancer specialists, facilitate professional education and training, and permit consultation in cancer research protocols and patient care throughout Jordan and the Middle East, at selected sites in the United States as well as in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Other sites around the globe are being planned. Read more
RPG Funding Policies for FY 2004
There has been some confusion in the grantee community about our R01 policy and whether the cuts might represent a reduction of support from a grantee's current award level. I hope this message corrects any misunderstandings, and clarifies the rationale behind our decisions.
Although NCI funding remains at a historically high level, our operating budget in the current fiscal year (FY 2004) is slightly lower than that of last year as a result of cost-of-living adjustments, an increasing number of noncompeting grants, and assessments to support the NIH Roadmap Initiative and other centralized activities. To maintain the momentum of scientific discovery, we will continue to fund the maximum number of competing R01 research grants. The abrupt change in our rate of growth, however, has necessitated a modification in our funding policies. To secure the funds necessary to maintain the R01 payline at the 20th percentile, we will reduce the award amount of competing grants to a greater degree than has been the case over the past two years. This budget adjustment will enable us to support 75 more R01 grants than would have been possible if we maintained budget reductions at recent levels. Read more
Telehealth Demonstration Launched to Improve Cancer Research and Care

The system will promote collaboration between cancer specialists, facilitate professional education and training, and permit consultation in cancer research protocols and patient care throughout Jordan and the Middle East, at selected sites in the United States as well as in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Other sites around the globe are being planned.
Developed by NCI and the Center for Information Technology, this telemedicine system, called KHCC TELESYNERGY®, combines cameras, microscopes, audio equipment, and a variety of peripheral devices to provide high-resolution display of images from multiple medical modalities in both real-time and store-and-forward modes. It enables scientists and clinicians at multiple laboratories and hospitals to interact simultaneously with one another.
The launch of this system is part of an ongoing collaborative partnership between KHCC and NCI that promotes work across borders to enhance cancer research, treatment, and care throughout the countries involved.
"Cancer knows no political or geographic borders. We must all work together to be able to share knowledge and expertise. NCI's ongoing collaboration with the King Hussein Cancer Center will help reduce the suffering and death for the afflicted people in Jordan and throughout the region," Dr. von Eschenbach said.
In September 2002, KHCC forged a cooperative agreement with NCI for the purpose of enhancing medical sciences and improving cancer patient care in Jordan and the entire Middle East region. In support of the agreement, Dr. Samir Khleif, a clinical oncologist at NCI, was named the current KHCC director. The KHCC TELESYNERGY system provides the means to achieve distance learning for medical professionals throughout a global network now under construction.
The system also represents a distinct improvement over standard videoconferencing technologies. In practical terms, it offers better image resolution, eliminates delays in communication between cancer professionals, and minimizes travel by patients and providers. On a larger scale, it promotes national and international expertise in cancer research and treatment by enhancing the adoption of uniform standards of care.
KHCC TELESYNERGY has many potential and varied uses, including: clinical case conferences, grand rounds, expert case review, multicenter radiotherapy planning, clinical management protocol development, distance learning, seminars, and patient screening for clinical trials.
In addition to standard teleconferencing capability, the new system allows for the transmission of high-quality diagnostic radiology and pathology images and for the discussion and remote manipulation of biopsy specimens.
RPG Funding Policies for FY 2004
There has been some confusion in the grantee community about our R01 policy and whether the cuts might represent a reduction of support from a grantee's current award level. I hope this message corrects any misunderstandings, and clarifies the rationale behind our decisions.
Although NCI funding remains at a historically high level, our operating budget in the current fiscal year (FY 2004) is slightly lower than that of last year as a result of cost-of-living adjustments, an increasing number of noncompeting grants, and assessments to support the NIH Roadmap Initiative and other centralized activities. To maintain the momentum of scientific discovery, we will continue to fund the maximum number of competing R01 research grants. The abrupt change in our rate of growth, however, has necessitated a modification in our funding policies. To secure the funds necessary to maintain the R01 payline at the 20th percentile, we will reduce the award amount of competing grants to a greater degree than has been the case over the past two years. This budget adjustment will enable us to support 75 more R01 grants than would have been possible if we maintained budget reductions at recent levels.
It is important to understand that these reduced funding levels apply only to competing grants and that we are taking into account the size of each grant. Smaller grants are being reduced, on average, by a smaller percentage than larger grants. Competing renewal grants (Type-2s) will also take a smaller average reduction than new (Type-1) applications; even after the reduction is taken, renewal grants will receive, on average, an approximately 10 percent budget increase over the current grant level. Furthermore, no competing renewal grant will be reduced below its current level of support unless the principal investigator has requested a smaller budget.
This "reduction from requested budget" policy will also apply to P01s, R21s, and all other research project grant (RPG) mechanisms, except R15s and R03s. However, it does not apply to noncompeting continuation R01s (often called Type-5s), as every Type-5 will receive the amount committed in its prior award. For nonmodular Type 5 grants (those whose direct costs exceed $250,000), there will be a cost of living adjustment of 3 percent. Research currently under way will not be affected by this policy.
All investigators conscientiously prepare their research budgets and are negatively affected by receiving less than the requested amount. Reductions, however, must be put into context. Since FY 2001, we have actively sought the advice of our scientific advisors on the National Cancer Advisory Board, the Board of Scientific Counselors, and the Board of Scientific Advisors regarding the funding options we face each year. Our advisors consistently express the view that, while we need to be cautious about imposing budget reductions in excess of 15 percent on competing grants, funding more R01s is a greater good - and should be a higher priority - than funding fewer grants with budgets as requested.
Given the unprecedented increases in the NIH and NCI budgets in recent years and the intense competing demands on the overall federal budget, we at NCI must plan for a period of nearly flat growth in the foreseeable future. That prospect is a challenge to all of us at NCI and to everyone in the cancer research community, and difficult decisions must be made. We remain eager to hear your best thinking as to how we can align NCI's budget with the best opportunities that will enable us to reach our goal of eliminating the suffering and death due to cancer by 2015.

Vaccine Shows Promise Against Lung Cancer
A vaccine made from autologous tumor cells genetically modified to secrete human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) completely arrested non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in three patients with advanced disease, according to a study in the Feb. 18 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Chemotherapy had already failed for two of the three "complete responders" in the study, and two others had a fairly uncommon NSCLC subtype. The vaccine had promising effects on overall survival and disease progression in the other advanced-stage patients but failed to show any benefit for patients in this small, phase I/II study who had early-stage NSCLC.
Success in manufacturing the vaccine was somewhat limited, and there was also dramatic variability in the vaccine's ability to secrete GM-CSF (which stimulates the body's immune system to produce cancer-fighting cells). Overall, only 43 patients were vaccinated, 10 with early-stage disease and 33 with advanced disease. "Only vaccine-associated GM-CSF secretion was statistically significantly associated with improved survival" in cohort B, the researchers wrote.
Tumor-Cell Vaccine Proves Effective in Kidney Cancer Patients
Patients with renal cell carcinoma confined to the kidney who underwent radical nephrectomy had higher progression-free survival rates when treated with an autologous tumor-based vaccine than those who did not receive a vaccine, German researchers reported in the Feb. 21 issue of The Lancet. Nephrectomy (removal of part or all of the kidney) is the standard treatment for renal cancer. Adjuvant treatments post nephrectomy, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, have not proven to help prevent disease recurrence. Around half of patients with renal cancer have disease recurrence within 5 years when treated according to the current standard of care.
This study, a phase III trial, which was not blinded or placebo-controlled, involved nearly 560 patients scheduled for radical nephrectomy from 55 medical centers across Germany. Before surgery, all patients were randomly selected to receive a vaccine made from their own tumor cells or no additional treatment. Overall, 343 patients successfully completed the entire protocol. At five years of follow-up, progression-free survival rates for patients at all tumor stages were 77.4 percent in the vaccine group and 67.8 percent in the control group. At 70 months, those rates were 72 and 59.3 percent, respectively.
In a related commentary, Drs. Mayer Fishman and Scott Antonia from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute called the study's observations "an immunological breakthrough." But they also argued that methodological shortcomings could limit interpretation of the data.
Panel Reports on Nevada Leukemia Cluster Investigation
The cause of a leukemia cluster in 16 children who lived in Churchill County, Nev., is unknown, according to an expert panel that reviewed the findings of an intense investigation into the cluster. The expert panel was initially convened in 2001 to advise the Nevada State Health Division on possible follow-up actions and priorities for its investigation of the "Fallon cluster," named after the largest town in Churchill County. The panel's final report was released last month. The 16 cases of leukemia were diagnosed between 1997 and July 2002. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (also called acute lymphocytic leukemia, or ALL) was the diagnosis in all cases except one, and all 16 cases occurred in children who were resident in Churchill County at the time of or at some point prior to their diagnoses.
At the expert panel's recommendation, extensive environmental testing and pathway exposure evaluations were performed to address community members' concerns about the health of their environment, explained Dr. Malcolm Smith, a member of the expert panel and head of the NCI Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program's Pediatric Section.
"The results from this testing were that the levels of most contaminants measured were not elevated compared with national norms or existing environmental standards, and none of the measured contaminants were associated with the occurrence of leukemia," Dr. Smith said. "Arsenic, previously known to be present at high levels in the community, was noted as an ongoing environmental health hazard and one that the community is addressing, though arsenic is not likely related to the leukemia cluster."
The panel also considered whether the cluster could have occurred by random chance - something that was not ruled out, but that appears unlikely, Dr. Smith explained. "The Fallon cluster is the most striking cluster involving childhood ALL that has been reported," he said. "A paper published online by Environmental Health Perspectives (search for: 10.1289/ehp.6592) reports that a cluster of this magnitude would be expected to occur in the United States by chance about once every 22,000 years. So, while it is true that chance cannot be excluded as a cause, it is also true that chance is not likely to be the sole explanation for the cluster."
The expert panel did not recommend specific follow-up research on the cluster at this time but did encourage continued childhood leukemia etiologic research. "The data and biological specimens that have been collected for the Fallon cluster may be useful in evaluating new hypotheses that are developed about the causes of childhood ALL clusters," Dr. Smith said.
Additional information about the Churchill County leukemia cluster is available at the Nevada State Health Division Web site at http://health2k.state.nv.us/healthofficer/leukemia/fallon.htm.
First Anti-Angiogenesis Drug Approved by FDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week approved the first angiogenesis inhibitor, bevacizumab (Avastin™), to be used in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Attempts to develop drugs that prevent angiogenesis - the formation of new blood vessels that can fuel tumor growth - have been under way for more than three decades.
"The approval of Avastin…is one of a number of recent new treatments for colorectal cancer that, taken together, have significantly improved the armamentarium for fighting this disease," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Mark B. McClellan. Recently the FDA also approved cetuximab (Erbitux™) for use in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that had progressed after treatment with standard irinotecan- based chemotherapy.
Such advances, noted Dr. William Figg, head of the Clinical Pharmacology Research Core in the NCI Center for Cancer Research and co-chair of the NCI Angiogenesis Working Group, are important for the treatment of all cancers. "The approval of bevacizumab has a big impact," he said. "It proves that this pathway, angiogenesis, is important and can be targeted. It also renews interest in drug development of antiangiogenesis agents and moves us beyond proof-of-principle type trials to finding agents or combinations that impact patients."
Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that is thought to work by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, a protein that plays an important role in angiogenesis. In a study presented at the 2003 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, patients with newly diagnosed metastatic colon cancer who received bevacizumab in combination with a chemotherapy regimen known as IFL (irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin) survived longer and had longer periods without cancer progression than those in the IFL-alone group. In its approval, the FDA stated bevacizumab can be used in combination with any chemotherapy regimen that includes 5-FU for patients with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.
In the 1960s, Harvard researcher Dr. Judah Folkman postulated that angiogenesis fueled tumor growth and that therapies could be designed to block this action. NCI has long provided support for Dr. Folkman's research in this area. In addition, NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, in collaboration with Genentech, is sponsoring more than 30 trials to investigate the use of bevacizumab in other settings of colorectal cancer and in patients with a variety of solid tumor and hematological malignancies.
NCI, along with other NIH institutes and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, has established a trans-institute angiogenesis initiative to find overlapping opportunities to apply vascular biology research findings across diseases.
While only one angiogenesis inhibitor has been approved, others may not be far behind. "There are numerous agents in development in both preclinical and clinical settings that look extremely promising," Dr. Figg said.
caBIG: The Launch of a Bioinformatics Community
When NCI announced the pilot of the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, or caBIG, last summer, it marked the beginning of a potentially powerful avenue for cancer research that is open to the entire cancer community. With caBIG, all cancer researchers will have access to a common research infrastructure that creates a plethora of opportunities to not only make important new findings but to do so more quickly and efficiently than ever before.
Currently in its early stages of development, this new system will offer a library of tools and resources - from clinical trial management systems to tissue bank and pathology tools - that are all built to common standards and are interoperable with other existing systems. It will also allow researchers to tap into an ocean of raw published data. As currently envisioned, a researcher could, for example, use caBIG to tap into appropriately anonymized, published molecular data from all U.S. cancer centers on patients with prostate cancer who are being treated with a specific drug. By providing such access supported by these innovative tools, study populations' data can be far more robust and researchers can mine the data in a way that simply isn't possible at the moment.
Technically, caBIG will work much like a home entertainment component system in which components are made by different manufacturers. Each component - the CD player, the FM receiver, the speakers, etc. - is built to certain common standards. As a result, each component, no matter who manufactures it, can be hooked up to the other and they will all work seamlessly. To date, this is not the case with applications and data generated within the cancer research establishment.
"Each cancer community has its own dialect, its own standards for capturing and reporting data, and each cancer center builds its own unique software, its own clinical trial management systems, its own gene expression array data capture systems," says Dr. Ken Buetow, the project director for caBIG. "While in and of itself this is not bad, there is no interoperability between systems from cancer center to cancer center - or commonly within a single cancer center - meaning that volumes of valuable raw data are not being tapped, effective best practices are not being widely distributed, and resources are being wasted because of duplication of effort.
"An increasing fraction of a scientist's effort is spent managing and manipulating the ever-growing, complex datasets being generated by modern biomedical studies," he continues. "Institutions are spending vast resources reinventing basic infrastructure to support these activities. Yet the creativity in being a scientist, and the impact of our research, is really about answering questions. With caBIG, the research community can focus its attention on innovation in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, not on data management and constantly building and troubleshooting the basic underlying research infrastructure."
The caBIG initiative represents NCI's response to calls from the community to assist it in dealing with the tsunami of biomedical research data, and its development has been a community-wide effort, involving more than 50 cancer centers.
The Pilot
These are truly collaborative efforts. The clinical trial management systems workspace and working group, for instance, include 15 participating cancer centers. The integrative cancer research workspace and working group have 23.
As Dr. Buetow points out, the intention of caBIG is not to reinvent the whole system of cancer research. In each strategic area of the pilot, existing tools and resources are being assembled whenever possible and adapted to become compatible with caBIG. The projects being tackled in this three-year pilot are those that were identified by the cancer centers as representing the greatest areas of need.
"We couldn't do everything at one time," says Dr. Buetow. "A lot of worthwhile projects were suggested. Working with the cancer centers, we are focusing on tools and resources that will be most immediately helpful. We will definitely get to the other projects over time - developing, testing, and validating them as needed, based on input from the community."
The goal for caBIG, Dr. Buetow stresses, is that it will ultimately evolve into a community-driven activity, with the effort expanding beyond the groups directly supported by NCI, including industry.
"If caBIG meets its pilot objectives, its value to the cancer research community will become clear beyond any 'measurements' we can make," Dr. Buetow says. "We clearly have high expectations for caBIG and, based on the initial response we've had and the progress we've made to date, I'm confident that we'll meet and possibly surpass them."
More information on caBIG, including a virtual tour, is available on the NCI Web site at http://cabig.nci.nih.gov/.

NCI Hosts Science Writers' Seminar
Scientists are creating a groundbreaking new research infrastructure that has the potential of fundamentally changing how cancer research is conducted. Through a partnership with the cancer community, NCI is developing a biomedical electronic informatics network that will generate a library of interoperable cancer research tools and data. NCI director Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach will speak at the seminar. Dr. Ken Buetow will give an overview of caBIG, Dr. Jo Anne Zujewski will discuss early-phase breast cancer clinical trials and describe the grid's value for clinicians conducting those trials, and Dr. Howard Fine will discuss how this initiative will support a national protocol for molecular diagnostics of brain tumor samples.
Space is limited to credentialed press only, but everyone can view the seminar via a live Webcast at http://www.ConnectLive.com/events/nci.
Scientists Focus on Tobacco Products
While there is increasing interest by both pharmaceutical and tobacco companies in developing products that decrease the health risks in smokers, there currently are no standard methods to conduct studies to assess risk reduction from these products, nor is there agreement regarding which biomarkers should be assessed to determine whether the use of new products actually decreases risk.
The introduction of these products and the fact that approximately 440,000 people in the United States die of tobacco-related diseases each year underscores the need to develop new product testing methods and validated biomarkers of exposure and harm. Investigators interested in pursuing these questions are encouraged to review two reports relevant to these issues. The first is a report from the Institute of Medicine, Clearing the Smoke: The Science Base for Harm Reduction. The second is the NCI Monograph, Risks Associated with Smoking Cigarettes with Low Machine-Measured Yields of Tar and Nicotine. Dr. Peter Shields of the Lombardi Cancer Center discussed many of the complex scientific challenges facing investigators in an article in the Oct. 2, 2002 Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
This is a list of selected scientific meetings sponsored by NCI and other organizations. For locations and times and a more complete list of scientific meetings, including NCI's weekly seminars and presentations open to the public, see the NCI Calendar of Scientific Meetings at http://calendar.cancer.gov.

Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer breakdown
After soaking in the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V from developer Rockstar North, the staff at Shacknews decided to point out some of the locations in the game seemingly inspired by our home state of California.
After the break enjoy a quick video tour of the trailer through the eyes of a Los Angeles native and a few screen grabs of humorous signs. As an added bonus, you can read our wildly speculative theory on Grand Theft Auto V's story and playable character(s).
Based on the footage we've seen, it appears that San Andreas is falling on tough times. As a developer known to create worlds that comment on current political and social climates, it makes sense that a recession would hit the world of Grand Theft Auto.
If Grand Theft Auto IV was about fighting toward the 'American Dream,' Grand Theft Auto V might be about 'Surviving' the land of the free.
It's unclear if the narrator is the playable character, but there are three possibilities of who he may be in the trailer. Three people continue to appear throughout the video, including one man that some are speculating to be Vice City's Tommy Vercetti. We don't think it is, based on the man's age.
There is a moment where the narrator talks about playing with his children, but things don't really work out the way you want. In this sequence, a man resembling the Vercetti lookalike enters a jewlery store with two others. Could this be a sign of a family-based crime syndicate? The other two men appear in the trailer multiple times.
One character appears in a red convertible with a retractile roof, while the other appears in vehicles at a few points during the trailer as well as running from police. Is it possible Grand Theft Auto V will feature three playable characters? With expansions to Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar has shown they are willing to tell deeper stories. Maybe this will mark the first time we get three playable characters in one game.
But... we're just speculating.

Recent changes to state law mean more Michigan families can afford the care they need for children with autism. Thursday, Oakland University hosted an autism summit as a way to engage healthcare providers and advocates.
OU is one of several schools focusing on graduating more therapists. Those therapists will one day work with autistic children and families struggling to find services.
"What Oakland felt we needed is to get the stakeholders together. Let's have a conference. Let's talk about it so that we can both affect policy and those policies that we can't do anything about in Lansing, what can we do? So hopefully there's partnerships that will take place and action items, and we have, of course, a whole center here called OUCARES that really addresses those quality of life issues," said Louis Gallien, dean of the School of Education and Human Services.
Oakland University first launched its Center for Autism Research in 2004. The program is now being expanded to the Meadows School in Rochester Hills.

{mosimage}ost of my fossil fuel footprint is airplane travel. I've worked out how to where to purchase cialis avoid those pesky old cars (small town, work at home, etc). But if I want to go see my mom, or attend my brother's bachelor party, I'm certainly not going to walk to the canadian propecia South East United States. Planes eat up the kerosene, and there's not much we can do about it. Lifting tons of cialis versus levitra over-sized carry-on bags into the air requires an enormous amount of energy.
I'm still wrapping my head around this but, apparently, Hunt Aviation has fugured out how to use the same force that works so hard to keep airplanes on the ground, to lift them into the air. The Gravity Plane does just that. First by filling itself with helium, gravity pulls the heavier air all around underneath it. Then, the plane sucks it's helium back into its tanks, and uses gravity to propel it downward and generic levitra pill forward. If it ever needs another boost, it just fills up its internal helium chambers again, and climbs.
The gravity plane requires NO FUEL, just the power of the canadian pharmacy levitra prescription earth's gravity, which is, by any means, considerable.
Nothing is burned, it makes virtually no noise and can land without the need for long runways. I imagine that all this climbing and gliding will make for a somewhat slow ride, but probably faster than driving. The gravity plane would, of course, be massive, with one zeppelin under each wing. But, if it proves a viable form of transportation, I could finally go to North Carolina to order levitra now visit mom and come home with a clean conscience.

Start at sea level, 4.2 mL volume
Expand by 5.2E-4 m^3
-- consume (5.2E-4 m3)*(1.0E+5 Pa) = 52 J
Rise 100m
-- external pressure drops 1280 Pa = 1.28%
-- produce 100m * 580mg * 9.81m/s^2 = 0.569 J by positive buoyancy
Contract by 5.2E-4 m^3
-- produce (52 J)*(98.72%) = 51.33 J
Drop 100m
-- produce 100m * 95mg * 9.81m/s^2 = 0.093 J by negative buoyancy
End at sea level, 4.2 mL volume (same as start condition)
Cycle net: -52 +0.569 +51.33 +0.093 = -0.008 J
Since the expansion occurs at a higher pressure than the compression, additional energy is needed which cancels out the energy gained from buoyancy. The net energy should have been 0, but since the but cialis online discrepancy is cheap cialis india

Please note that I made no reference to the Carnot efficiency, as this is not a heat engine. Note also that the math does not depend on working fluids: under water, the buoyancy and pressure differential would be much higher, but the cycle energy would still cancel.
Regarding marine mammals' gliding, the most prominent article (on Google) is Williams et al 2000, "Sink or Swim: Strategies for Cost-Efficient Diving by Marine Mammals" which quotes apparent energy ratios of 90% to 40% on deep dives - is this what Hunt calls "a mere fraction"? Additionally the mammals studied glide down on grefa.org deep dives, but cannot glide back up - they cannot voluntarally increase their buoyancy. The data are not relevent to the Hunt method which relies on active changes in buoyancy.
Of course, there might be a much more relevent study out there: perhaps whoever said "Do some research before you post you make yourselves sound stupid." will provide a reference.

Consider the following scenario, heat energy from the sun causes a water molecule to become vapor, vapor rises until it reaches a point where high pressure and/or low temperature cause it to condense and become liquid. The amount of energy it requires to become vapor is the same regardless of best prices viagra how high it goes before it condenses again, and that heat energy is returned to it's great! 50mg viagra retail price the atmosphere when the water condenses. Therefore the discount levitra online water molecule achieves potential energy equal to its height at the point of condensation. Rain falls and flows down a mountain where a dam turns the kinetic energy into electricity. This is how Gravity produces useful work for our purposes, there are other effects on the atmosphere from this process which also contribute to wind energy but I won't go into those, suffice it to say that this is a proof that gravity can in fact perform useful work if a number of conditions are met, one must have a lifting medium, some type of molecule that which has a lower density than the lifting medium when it is in the gas phase, some energy to achieve phase change, and a temperature or pressure differential to cause condensation in the upper atmosphere. Such conditions are met nicely on earth, the lifting medium is air, the molecule that has a lower density than air in the gas phase is water, the energy to achieve that phase change is conveniently provided by the sun, the temperature in the upper atmosphere is woman and viagra low enough to cause condensation, and voila we can get useful energy from the force of gravity.
This gravity plane is basically a different way of obtaining useful energy from the force of gravity, which as shown above is possible given the right conditions. Essentially the lifting fluid remains the same, but imagine the http://www.massing.de/cialis-discounts molecule is the plane, it uses the suns energy in the form of wind to make itself lighter than air, it rises until it gets really high like maybe 10km, then it uses some of the energy it stored up on the ground to take in cold air from the upper atmosphere, this causes it to become lighter than air, it then flies like a glide while gathering kinetic energy from its wind turbines, then when it is down near the ground provided it went high enough it will have enough energy to repeat the process
Essentially this is an engineering challenge requiring extremely light and strong materials (carbon fiber or kevlar bonded with epoxy resin), extremely efficient method of storing kinetic energy (20% efficient vertical axis wind turbines connected to www.kachinwomen.com air compressors), extremely large volume to minimize surface area to volume ratio to reduce weight (surface area increases by the square, volume increases by the cube, so larger = better ratio = greater lift), the latest computer hardware and canadian pharmacy viagra software for flight control system, aerodynamic design capable of changing the aspect ratio of viagra 50 the wings, etcetera
It is not impossible just really hard, just as it was to design jet airplanes and other such technological marvels it requires a lot of engineers like me working long hours hammering out the details.
