Farm Bureau News SALT LAKE COUNTY Volume 1. SANDY, UTAH, AUGUST, 1917. Number 1. THE SILO. By Ben R. Eldredge The Silo has won its place as a factor in livestock farming in Utah. High price of hay during the past ■winter has stimulated interest in the cow's cork cask and already operations have begun in Emery, Washington and Iron Counties, for a campaign of silo building. In March three sets of silo forms were made in a boiler shop in Salt Lake City and 1917 will witness more silo building in Utah than has occurred in all its previous history, and in some parts of the state unused water cisterns are being repaired for filling later in the season with one of the most economical cattle feeds known to agriculture —Corn Silage. Why did we not know more about silage years ago if it is such a good thing ? In the days of cheap lucerne we thought we had the world beaten to standstill so far as cattle feed was concerned, and we were just a little opinionated about any other fed ever being poduced that would deserve our serious attention. Those days of cheap lucerne are gone into history and a condition confronts us today bristling with twenty dollar lucerne and prices on all other feeds sharpened in proportion. We are looking for something to cheapen the feed bill and the silo is the biggest thing in sight. One man in Richmond, Cache County, sums up his experience for one year this way: "Well, I didn't know anything about the silo, but we had to do something and building a silo was recommended. We built one of cement concrete monolithic construction. It was 12x32 and we filled it with corn silage co-operating with some neighbors all the way through. My silo filled—silo and silage cost me about $500.00 and it has aved me this winter all of that on my feed bill. We will build a lot of them at Richmond this year." Reports have come in of good yields of silage corn per acre, showing prog ress in method of raising the crop. On Cherry Hill Dairy Farm near Provo a yield of over 26 tons per acre was made, which is the best yield yet authentically reported, for the State. Yields of 16 tons are common in Utah, Salt Lake and Davis Counties, while the yield in Cache County may have been a little lighter though some very good yields are made there where a few years ago we were told corn was not a paying crop at all. We have spoken so much about corn silage that people sometimes think it is the only crop that can be used for silage. There are many—Kaffir, Milo, some sorghums, oats and peas or almost any of the grains; but corn is the great staple silage crop and the corn plant supplements the lucerne so splendidly that for feeding in combination with lucerne hay there is none better than corn silage. These together form a balance in the roughage ration that, according to our present knowledge, is unexcelled. SELECT SEEDS NOW FOR NEXT YEAR'S CROP. The price of Dairy products is | lower considering food value than any other commodity on the market. The j market milk dealers are selling their products at the same common price : that existed when feeds and labor were about half what they are now. | The condensed milk companies have almost doubled the price of their product to the consumer while they are paying the farmer very few cents ; more than they have in the past. The price of butter and cheese have advanced materially and is holding strong. A shortage of food products and excessive demand for men makes labor and feed almost out of reason. The high price of meat is calling a great many dairy cows to the block thus threatening a shortage of Dairy products. With organized effort we can protect ourselves. Are you in favor of some action ? We all remember vividly our mad rush for farm seeds last spring. The call came for increased crop production and there was very little real seed to be found. Farmers had to use any old stuff to plant. Our'average yield this year will be materially less than it would have been had we planted number one seed. This can all be avoided with the 1918 crop if we act now. Every farmer should see to it that the very best is selected and carefully stored for next year's seeding. Don't wait til seeding time and have to use what is left. Do it now. Your best time and place is just at harvest, in the field, while the plants are still standing. Winter wheat and barley are now ready to work on in the earlier sections. We should begin with these crops and continue until the potato crop is ready for harvest. Well selected seed should be carefully stored. A moderately dry, well ventilated place is essential for best results. Potatoes must also be kept from freezing and infection in filthy pits. Call on your Farm Bureau Committee and County Agent for assistance. R. . EVANS State Leader of County Agents. TRY GRANDMOTHER'S METHODS OF DRYING VEGETABLES . LET NOTHING SPOIL. Heat, dirt, improper handling, flies, insects, rats and mice are the greatest food wasters. Producing food is only half the job. Food which isn't needed now must be saved for the future. To waste food any time is indefensible; this year it is little short of criminal. Most vegetables and fruits are largely water, and it is the water that makes them spoil easily. Drive off the water by drying and save the real food. It will keep perfectly in a paper box. You can draw on your spigot or well bucket for the water when you need it, and make appetizing food. Your grandmother dried vegetables and fruits before canning was known. If you can't get cans or jars at reasonable prices, practice the methods Grandmother found good.

For the tablerunner you will need:
36-5" squares
18- 4" squares of batting
For each placemat you will need:
24-5" squares
12-4" squares of batting
Heritage 6 1/2" rag Quilting Snips (VP7)
I can't tell you how much I love this little tool. I had not done raggy things in quite awhile because of the snipping would hurt my hand. I can do a whole quilt with no trouble with these little babies. Even my mom with arthritis in her hands can do a whole quilt with these.
take 2 charms and make a sandwich with the batting centered and touching the wrong sides of the fabrics.
stitch an X across the sandwich. don't worry about it being perfect, I just eye balled it.
lay out your charms as follows for the tablerunner (3x4 for the placemat)
Then snip through both sides of the seam allowance at once. Snip up close to the stitching line...but be careful not to cut through the stitching.

Link Between 1p36 Deletions and Cancer Revealed
A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stanford University has identified a tumor-suppressor function for Chd5, a member of the chromatin remodeling protein (CHD) family that maps to the 1p36 region of human chromosome 1. Their results are published February 9 in Cell.
Mutations in 1p36 are coincident with many diseases, including neural cancers, melanoma, hematopoietic cancers, and epithelial cancers of the thyroid, cervix, colon, and breast. These mutations are usually deletions, sparking a widespread search for a tumor suppressor as the missing link. Read more
Guest Update by Dr. Anna Barker
Mapping the Cancer Genome
The following captures some of the highlights from an article in the March 2007 Scientific American magazine that I wrote with National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Director Dr. Francis Collins. It represents one of the first detailed discussions of The Cancer Genome Atlas in a publication that is widely read by a variety of audiences.
Writing in Science in 1986, Dr. Renato Dulbecco, a pioneering cancer researcher and Nobel Laureate declared, "We are at a turning point." Discoveries in preceding years had made clear that much of the deranged behavior of cancer cells stemmed from damage to their genes and alterations in their functioning. "We have two options," he wrote. "Either try to discover the genes important in malignancy by a piecemeal approach, or…sequence the whole genome." Read more
Link Between 1p36 Deletions and Cancer Revealed
A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stanford University has identified a tumor-suppressor function for Chd5, a member of the chromatin remodeling protein (CHD) family that maps to the 1p36 region of human chromosome 1. Their results are published February 9 in Cell.
Mutations in 1p36 are coincident with many diseases, including neural cancers, melanoma, hematopoietic cancers, and epithelial cancers of the thyroid, cervix, colon, and breast. These mutations are usually deletions, sparking a widespread search for a tumor suppressor as the missing link.
Finding this link was the ultimate goal, says lead author Dr. Alea A. Mills, of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. "There was a risk," she says. "If we had hit a haploinsufficient gene, for example, we wouldn't have been able to study cancer in these models, but may have discovered other interesting genes in the process. It takes a big commitment to see this sort of chromosome engineering project through to the end."
Using embryonic stem cells, Dr. Mills' team created mouse models with a region corresponding to human 1p36 that was deleted or duplicated. This allowed them to study what happens when the region was lost (as in human cancers) or when an extra copy was added.
They found that cells with an extra copy of the region proliferated poorly and underwent senescence, but deletion of the same region caused immortality. In vivo, mice with duplications had excessive apoptosis, while those with deletions were normal but cancer prone.
Once they pinpointed an important tumor suppressive region that corresponded to 1p36, Dr. Mills' team tested which of the candidate genes in the area was the tumor suppressor by seeing which one was able to correct the poor proliferation of cells with an extra copy of the region when knocked down by RNAi. Only one, Chd5, scored positive. Importantly, when Chd5 was depleted in normal cells, the result was the same as when the whole region was deleted. Thus, Chd5 was the tumor suppressor gene in the region.
Chd5 is related to a family of proteins known as chromatin remodelers, proteins that help unravel DNA so that genes can be read by a cell's transcription machinery.
"The role of Chd5 as a chromatin remodeler is based purely on its homology to other members of the Chd family - there has been no functional data before this," says Dr. Mills. "How this affects tumorigenesis is not well understood, but a better knowledge in this arena is likely to offer novel ways to design more effective anticancer therapies."
The methods behind this research are an important contribution and will have significant implications for mouse modeling and cancer, says Dr. Stephen Chanock, who leads the Genomic Variation Section of NCI's Pediatric Oncology Branch within the Center for Cancer Research and the Core Genotyping Facility within the Division of Cancer Genetics and Epidemiology.
"Not only have they identified a functionally important novel tumor suppressor mapping to human 1p36, but they have provided a useful road map of where and how to go after other similar genes; moreover, they've used a technically clever and very interesting way to accomplish this," Dr. Chanock says.
For Dr. Javed Khan, who leads the Oncogenomics Section of NCI's Pediatric Oncology Branch, an important aspect of this research is the finding that heterozygosity of a single gene, Chd5, predisposed cells to malignancy and that the wild-type locus was retained in immortalized cells, as well as in spontaneous tumors. This finding implies that the "two-hit hypothesis" - which states that if one copy of a gene is defective, then the other copy must be deleted or silenced for a cancer to develop - is not necessary for tumorigenesis in certain cancers. "This study provides convincing evidence that haploinsufficiency of a single gene can lead to certain cancers and this represents a paradigm shift," says Dr. Khan.

Mapping the Cancer Genome
The following captures some of the highlights from an article in the March 2007 Scientific American magazine that I wrote with National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Director Dr. Francis Collins. It represents one of the first detailed discussions of The Cancer Genome Atlas in a publication that is widely read by a variety of audiences.
Writing in Science in 1986, Dr. Renato Dulbecco, a pioneering cancer researcher and Nobel Laureate declared, "We are at a turning point." Discoveries in preceding years had made clear that much of the deranged behavior of cancer cells stemmed from damage to their genes and alterations in their functioning. "We have two options," he wrote. "Either try to discover the genes important in malignancy by a piecemeal approach, or…sequence the whole genome."Over the span of 2 decades, Dr. Dulbecco's vision has moved from pipe dream to reality. Less than 3 years after the Human Genome Project's (HGP's) completion, NIH has launched the pilot stage of an effort to create a comprehensive catalog of the genomic changes involved in cancer: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
HGP laid a solid foundation for TCGA by creating a standardized reference sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs in the genome of normal human tissues. Now TCGA - a pilot project focused on three cancers - will characterize a number of genomic alterations as well as the DNA sequences of specific genes and regions of DNA from tumor tissues and compare them with normal cells to identify the major genetic changes that drive the cancer development process.
Several recent developments have provided proofs of concept that identifying specific genetic changes in cancer cells can point us toward improved methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
For example, in 2001 the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute began to use genomic sequencing technologies to explore cancer. A year later, the group found that a gene called B-RAF was mutated in about 70 percent of the malignant melanoma cases they examined. A variety of researchers set their sights on this potential new therapeutic target, and 5 years later, the most promising of these therapies are being tested in clinical trials. Other research groups have zeroed in on genetic mutations linked to certain types of breast cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, and other cancers to develop new therapies and high-value molecular diagnostics that will point physicians to those chemotherapeutic agents to which a specific patient is most likely to respond.
A strategy used at the beginning of HGP was to test protocols and technology before scaling up to full DNA sequence "production." Similarly, TCGA is beginning with a pilot project to develop and test the scientific framework that will be needed if we are to ultimately map all the genomic abnormalities involved in cancer. Over the next 3 years, NCI and NHGRI will devote $100 million to compiling an atlas of genomic changes in glioblastoma, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer.
These cancers were chosen for several reasons, including their value in gauging the feasibility of expanding this project to a much larger number of cancer types. Only if this pilot phase achieves its goals will we move forward with a full-fledged project to develop a complete cancer "atlas."
As detailed in the article, the road ahead is fraught with scientific, technological, and policy challenges - some of which are known and others as yet unknown. Among the uncertainties to be resolved: Will new sequencing technologies deliver on their early promise in time to make this effort economically feasible? How quickly can we improve and expand our toolbox for systematically detecting epigenetic changes and other large-scale genomic alterations involved in cancer, especially those associated with metastasis? How can we harness the power of computational biology to create algorithms and data portals that will prove useful to basic biologists, clinical researchers and, eventually, health care professionals on the front lines? The list goes on.
In Scientific American, Dr. Collins and I compared our position with TCGA to that of the 19th-century explorers Lewis and Clark, as they ventured up the Missouri River into the largely uncharted Northwest Territory. Although they did not find the water route across the continent, their detailed maps proved valuable to a fledgling nation in ways that President Thomas Jefferson, who dispatched the explorers, could never have imagined.
For the sake of all those whose lives have and will be touched by cancer, we can only hope our 21st century expedition into cancer biology exceeds even Renato Dulbecco's grandest dreams.
Disparities Found in Colonoscopy Use by Those on Medicare
Screening rates for colorectal cancer in the United States lag far behind those for breast and cervical cancer, despite research showing that the high mortality rates could be lowered significantly by detecting colorectal cancer at an early stage when it is more treatable. A study in the February 12 Archives of Internal Medicine of nearly 600,000 Medicare recipients aged 65 or older living in Illinois, Florida, and New York shows that women, nonwhites, and people with low income or educational levels were less likely to get a colon screening test than were men, whites, and people with higher incomes and education levels.
Over a 2-year period, 18.3 percent of all men and women in the study group had a colon screening test, although women were less likely to undergo invasive screening tests such as colonoscopy. The frequency of screening by both sexes diminished with age, but more so in women.
Most (89.5 percent) beneficiaries in the study were white; blacks, Hispanics, and all other racial and ethnic groups were aggregated together as nonwhite, and were 48 percent less likely to get any screening test than were white participants. Beneficiaries living in areas with the highest proportion of high school graduates were 52 percent more likely to get screened. In general, living in a zip code with a higher per capita income increased the likelihood of getting screened, though nonwhites in the highest income group were actually less likely to be screened. Whites were more likely to get a colonoscopy as their income increased; nonwhites were not.
"Further research is needed to determine the basis for the observed ongoing disparities to develop interventions to reduce and eliminate these differences," wrote Dr. Ashwin N. Ananthakrishnan from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, lead researcher on the study.
Switching Hormone Therapies Reduces Mortality from Breast Cancer
Pooled results from two randomized clinical trials, published online ahead of print in Cancer, indicate that women taking tamoxifen after surgery for breast cancer who switch to an aromatase inhibitor after 2 or 3 years have improved survival compared with women who continue tamoxifen for an additional 2 or 3 years.
The investigators combined the results from the GROCTA 4B trial, which tested the aromatase inhibitor aminoglutethimide, and the ITA trial, which tested the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole (Arimidex). Combination of the data was planned into the design of the ITA trial, which was performed by the same collaborative group as GROCTA 4B.
In GROCTA 4B, investigators randomly assigned women who had already been taking tamoxifen for an average of 3 years to either continue taking tamoxifen at the same dose for an additional 2 years or to switch to aminoglutethimide for an equivalent period of time. The design of ITA mirrored that of GROCTA 4B, except that women assigned to switch drugs were given anastrozole.
In the combined analysis, all-cause mortality and breast cancer-related mortality were both significantly improved in women who switched to one of the aromatase inhibitors. Although the trials had several limitations, including the fact that neither trial reached its recruitment goal, the results mirror those of other recently published studies, explained the authors. "The present data and mortality benefits emerging from the most recent reports of the other switching trials…reinforce the indication of early switching to an aromatase inhibitor in women presently receiving adjuvant treatment with tamoxifen," they wrote.
Lung Cancer Incidence Rates High Among Women Who Have Never Smoked
While smoking remains the predominant cause of lung cancer, a new study reveals that incidence rates of lung cancer among people who have never smoked (never smokers) are higher in women than in men. The study results were published in the February 10 Journal of Clinical Oncology. This study is unlike previous studies that focused mainly on mortality rates and that found men had higher lung cancer mortality rates than women.
Dr. Heather A. Wakelee of the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues calculated the incidence of lung cancer among never smokers, former smokers, and smokers aged 40 to 79 from six large cohort populations: the Nurses' Health Study, the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, the California Teachers Study, the Multiethnic Cohort Study, the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-Up Study, and the Swedish Lung Cancer Register in the Uppsala/Orebro region. Lung cancer incidence was calculated as new cases per person-year.
Lung cancer incidence rates among female never smokers aged 40 to 79 ranged from 14.4 to 20.8 per 100,000 person-years, while incidence rates among male never smokers aged 40 to 79 ranged from 4.8 to 13.7 per 100,000 person-years.
While researchers have not pinpointed the underlying cause of the greater incidence of lung cancer in female never smokers, they have identified the following as potential risk factors: secondhand smoke; occupational exposures such as asbestos, chromium, or arsenic; environmental exposures such as domestic radon; indoor pollutants; previous lung disease; dietary factors; family history; and genetic factors.
Dr. Adi F. Gazdar of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and Dr. Michael J. Thun of the American Cancer Society wrote in an accompanying editorial, "Clearly, lack of an understanding of the factors responsible for lung cancers in never smokers is a major deficiency that must be addressed before we can explore preventive strategies." Also, the differences the investigators found in the histological types of lung cancer, as well as the genetic differences between nonsmokers and smokers, could have implications for improving treatments and outcomes of lung cancer.
Gene Involved in Brain Development Has Role in Tumors
A gene that helps control the growth of stem cells during brain development also plays a role in regulating the growth of malignant glioma, a deadly brain cancer, according to a new study. The gene, Olig2 (oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2), produces a protein found only in the nervous system that controls the activity of other genes. Experiments in mice suggest that this protein could be a potential target of therapies that are specific to the nervous system.
Drs. Charles Stiles and David Rowitch of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute led the study, which appeared in the February 15 Neuron. Using tumor tissue from patients with glioma, the researchers found that the Olig2 protein was expressed in two types of cells - cancer stem cells and progenitor cells - that contribute to the growth of glioma. Further experiments in mice indicated that the protein helps regulate a cellular process, or pathway, involved in tumor growth.
Together with previous research, the new findings suggest that Olig2 controls a critical pathway involved in the proliferation of normal and malignant stem cells in the central nervous system. The results also highlight the benefits of stem cell research in understanding human cancers, says lead author Dr. Keith Ligon of Dana-Farber.
The researchers describe Olig2 as a "gateway" gene for the development of brain tumors for several reasons. First, the Olig2 protein is crucial for the development of neural stem cells and their progeny specifically in the central nervous system. Second, the activity of Olig2 is deregulated in brain cancer. And finally, Olig2 activity is required for the formation of some tumors.
When the researchers blocked Olig2 activity in mice that develop brain cancer, 91 percent of the animals did not form tumors. "Our findings identify this core transcriptional regulator as an important candidate for antitumor therapeutics," the researchers conclude.
NIH Continuing Resolution Approved
On February 14, the FY2007 Continuing Appropriations Resolution was passed by the Senate; it was signed into law by President Bush on February 15. NIH received a total appropriation of $28.9 billion, an increase of $619.5 million (2 percent) more than the FY2006 appropriation. A large portion of this increase - $483 million - goes toward funding the NIH common fund.
Although NCI will continue to be funded at the FY2006 level of $4.79 billion, NCI and other institutes will not be required to contribute to the common fund this year, which could translate into approximately $42.8 million for NCI.
For a more in-depth look at the NCI budget process and how it affects the National Cancer Program, please see the recent article by NCI Director Dr. John E. Niederhuber, "A Look Inside the National Cancer Institute Budget Process: Implications for 2007 and Beyond."
A New Tobacco Threat?
At the time, Skoal and other smokeless tobacco (ST) products, including chewing tobacco and snuff, were near their peak popularity among teens and young adults, including use by approximately one in five high school seniors.
Two decades later, things are remarkably different. By 2003, ST use among 12th-grade boys had dropped to less than 13 percent, and use among girls remained very low. While the reasons for the decrease are unclear, researchers suggest that increases in excise taxes and extensive antitobacco efforts, though primarily aimed at cigarettes, likely played a role.
Some recent developments, however, have tobacco control researchers and advocates worried that these important gains could be erased. In addition to periodontal problems and cardiovascular disease, ST has been most closely associated with increased risks of oral and pancreatic cancer, so any increase in its use is concerning. That concern is compounded by the results of a new study demonstrating that ST use is strongly associated with smoking initiation.
Although a spit-free ST product called snus has been popular in some Scandinavian countries for several decades, similar products have only recently been introduced in the United States.
Because users don't need to spit, these small, tea bag-like pouches are easier to use and far more discreet than traditional "moist snuff" like Copenhagen or loose-leaf products like Red Man. They typically come in small, decorative tins, and several brands are available in flavors like mint and cinnamon.
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco (UST), Inc., which manufacturers Skoal, launched its first spit-free ST product, Revel, in 2004. Instead of "Just a pinch," marketing materials for Revel proclaim "No smoke, no spit, no boundaries." UST began test marketing its first Skoal-branded spit-free product, Skoal Dry, last year in Louisville, KY, and Austin, TX.
The ease of use and gum-like flavors are reminiscent of earlier history, says Dr. Mark Parascandola, from NCI's Tobacco Control Research Branch.
ST use began to surge among teens and young adults in the 1970s, he explains, when tobacco companies introduced "products with lower nicotine content and attractive flavorings, which made them more accessible to new users." Users would eventually graduate to products with higher nicotine content.
"With these new products," he continues, "there is reason to be concerned we could see a similar phenomenon."
That very scenario is happening in Norway, where, over the past decade, daily use of snus has tripled among teens and young adults. According to Dr. Karl E. Lund, research director at the Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research, the company that controls 95 percent of the European snus market, Swedish Match, makes what he calls "starter kits."
"This is snus sold in glamorous metal boxes…where the snus is seasoned with different kinds of fruit flavors," he explains. "[They are] easy to use for snus novices."
Last October, Swedish Match North America announced a partnership with one of the largest U.S. cigarette companies, Lorillard Tobacco Company, to develop new smokeless products for the U.S. market.
Lorillard, however, is playing catch-up to Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds (RJR), the two biggest U.S. cigarette manufacturers, both of which launched spit-free products last year.
RJR's product, Camel Snus, is being test marketed in Austin and Portland, OR, but can also be ordered by phone or via the Internet. Philip Morris' product, Taboka, is being test marketed in Indianapolis.
"That's a very big concern for the public health community," says Dr. Herbert H. Severson, a tobacco control researcher at the Oregon Research Institute in Eugene. "Most of us [in tobacco control] believe the companies can be successful in increasing the market for oral tobacco."
Count Dr. Michael Siegel, a tobacco control researcher at Boston University, among the believers. In order to be successful, he argues, "they have to have young people use it."
Both Philip Morris and RJR explicitly state in marketing materials and media reports that these new products are for adult smokers searching for a smoking alternative, particularly in smoke-free workplaces or restaurants.
In the case of Taboka, says Dr. Scott Tomar, an ST researcher from the University of Florida, its low nicotine content and Philip Morris' marketing approach suggest it is being positioned, at least for now, as a "situational substitute" for smokers.
Camel Snus, on the other hand, seems to be targeted toward younger users, Dr. Tomar adds. It's being promoted in bars and music magazines geared toward younger audiences, and the marketing materials suggest using it at rock concerts and clubs.
With these new products, the potential for a surge in use among teens and young adults, Dr. Tomar says, is considerable.
"The history of [ST] products in the U.S. and in Sweden and Norway is that it's almost entirely adolescent and young adult males who initiate use," he says.
A big question is what happens after that, because several studies have suggested that ST use among teens can be a smoking gateway.
A 2003 study led by Dr. Tomar, for instance, found that teens using ST at study entry were three times more likely to be smokers 4 years later than those who had not used ST. But a research team from Penn State disputed the findings, arguing that the study failed to account for other smoking initiation risk factors, such as whether parents or close friends smoke or engage in deviant behavior.
However, a new study of nearly 2,300 seventh- and ninth-graders led by Dr. Severson scheduled to be published later this month - which controlled for known smoking initiation risk factors - found that ST use at baseline was independently associated with a more than 2.5-fold increased risk of smoking 2 years later.
That's why any tobacco use needs to be discouraged with young people, Dr. Severson says.
Among teens and parents, he adds, "we have evidence that indicates they believe smokeless tobacco is a safer alternative. What I'm trying to tell people is whether it's safer or not, it can lead to nicotine dependence."

Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer Using
Aromatase Inhibitors
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why This Trial Is Important
Researchers want to compare AI therapy and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant (before surgery) treatments for breast cancer, but first they need to determine which AI(s) to use in such a comparison. Neoadjuvant therapy may shrink tumors enough to allow a woman to undergo breast-sparing surgery instead of mastectomy.
In this trial, women with estrogen-responsive (i.e., estrogen receptor-positive) breast cancer will be treated with one of three AIs - exemestane (Aromasin), letrozole (Femara), or anastrozole (Arimidex) - before surgery to determine which AI(s) to use in a future trial that compares neoadjuvant AI therapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. If major differences between the AIs cannot be found, more than one AI may be used in the future trial.
"Our long-term aim is to establish AI therapy as a standard neoadjuvant treatment option," said Dr. Ellis. "Another goal of this trial is to help us define a patient population that is likely to benefit from neoadjuvant AI treatment. Through genomic analysis we will determine the molecular basis for differences in aromatase inhibitor response."

M.D. Anderson Awarded CEO Cancer Gold Standard Accreditation
The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has been awarded the CEO Cancer Gold Standard accreditation. M.D. Anderson is the first NCI-designated Cancer Center and the first health care system in the nation to receive this accreditation.
It was awarded by the CEO Roundtable on Cancer which was established in 2001 in response to a challenge from former President George H.W. Bush, who called on a group of corporate executives to "do something bold and venturesome about cancer within your corporate families." The Roundtable focuses on three key cancer-fighting objectives: risk education, early detection, and quality care. Only 12 organizations have received the distinction.
Organizations that adopt the CEO Cancer Gold Standard offer a series of benefits and programs to their employees and their families that lower the risk of cancer through lifestyle changes. These include eliminating the use of tobacco, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy diet. Gold Standard companies also cover preventive screening costs so that more cancers will be detected at the earliest possible stage when treatment can improve the outcome. Finally, a Gold Standard organization provides access to the best-available treatment, including clinical trials, when a cancer diagnosis becomes a reality for an employee or a family member.
"To be recognized for the emphasis we place on our employees' health and well-being in the fight against cancer and to be the first health care system to receive the distinction is an incredible honor," said Dr. Georgia Thomas, executive director of M.D. Anderson's Department of Employee Health and Well-Being. "In recent years, as the research between healthy lifestyle habits and one's risks for cancer have become only more evident, M.D. Anderson has reinvigorated its emphasis on the wellness of our employees."
M.D. Anderson offers its employees gym membership discounts, smoking cessation programs, cancer screening opportunities, use of exercise equipment stationed around the institution, and healthy choices in the cafeteria.
"The CEO Cancer Gold Standard accreditation challenges us not only to maintain these programs, but to expand upon them, to meet the needs of our diverse employee population," Dr. Thomas noted. "Our commitment to the principle of CEO Cancer Gold Standard is permanent, as it fully embodies our mission to eliminate cancer, and that starts with M.D. Anderson employees and their family members."
New health-conscious programs already underway for M.D. Anderson employees in 2007 include the "Rock Steady" weight management group and employee walking and running clubs. Also this year, M.D. Anderson plans to expand on the number of exercise equipment stations across the campus.
In addition to M.D. Anderson, the CEO Roundtable recently announced five other newly accredited organizations: the American Legacy Foundation, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Jenner & Block, the SAS Institute, and Quintiles Transnational Corp.

Samoa Joe
Real Name
Joel Seanoa
Date of Birth
March 17, 1979
Place of Birth
Some rumors are floating around this weekend that WWE is trying to sign Samoa Joe. The source of the speculations is said to be due to the fact that Triple H briefly followed Joe on Twitter. Sources are saying that Joe followed HHH back on the social media site, which means that they had the option for two way communications for a period of time this weekend. WWE has long avoided the signing of Joe, so this would be quite an interesting move if true.
July 6, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
In case you did not catch Impact Wrestling this week, Samoa Joe made his return to TNA. He received a bit of a pop as he came back to save Eric Young and Bully Ray from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley in the final segment of the show. Upon signing with TNA, MVP specifically mentioned Samoa Joe as a performer that he wanted to work against, so that feud could be happening soon.
May 30, 2014
As some of you already know, former WWE and TNA star Luke Gallows recently got married. CM Punk, AJ Lee, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Mike Knox, Bully Ray, Angelina Love, Samoa Joe, Mickie James, Matt Hardy, Reby Sky, Velvet Sky and Colt Cabana were among those in attendance at the wedding.
May 20, 2014
In approximately two years, TNA has reduced the amount of contracted performers by nearly half, going from 60 to 33 during that stretch of time. Dixie Carter and company have been forced to allow performers to leave whenever their contracts expire because they need to become fiscally responsible if they wish to remain in business. Rumor has it that only Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray, Samoa Joe, Abyss, James Storm, Bobby Roode and Mr Anderson have big salaries.
May 15, 2014
After being given some time off, Samoa Joe is back on the road for TNA. The former world heavyweight champion worked live events for the company this weekend. There have been conflicting reports as to why Joe was off the road. He denied rumors about a concussion, but he has not done the same for the reports of him taking time off for family reasons.
April 19, 2014
"A unique athlete, it's funny because he was a book that was judged by his cover, for a very long time and it took a while to get him into TNA and we were always fighting to get him in. Everybody was like 'we gotta change his look and blah blah blah,' but finally when they gave him the chance, he showed them that you didn't need to judge him by the cover because he brings a unique intensity and a unique character to TNA and I think it would be a different TNA without him. He has changed the business." - Christopher Daniels discusses Samoa Joe
April 15, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Low Ki could be making his return to TNA in the near future. The former X Division Champion contemplated retirement not too long ago, but he had a change of heart apparently. Low Ki has a close relationship with Samoa Joe and MVP, so that have played a part in his potential return to TNA.
April 13, 2014
Rumors surfaced over the weekend that Samoa Joe had been pulled from TNA events because he suffered a concussion. However, the former world heavyweight champion has disputed those claims through his Twitter account. It is now being reported that Joe is taking time off from TNA in order to deal with a personal issue with his family.
April 13, 2014
One of the more notable absence on Impact Wrestling this week was Samoa Joe. Many believed that he would have been a part of that gauntlet match to determine a new contender for the TNA title. However, it has now been revealed that Joe was unable to work the show because he suffered a concussion at a live event in Nebraska a couple of weeks ago.
April 12, 2014
A video preview of the big world heavyweight championship match between Samoa Joe and Brutus Magnus that will be taking place at TNA Lockdown 2014 this weekend.
March 9, 2014
While he is not officially booked for an event, you can expect to see Rockstar Spud being involved in the main event TNA championship match between Brutus Magnus and Samoa Joe. On Impact Wrestling, Dixie Carter was selling the fact that Magnus would be out there alone. That is simply a set up for some interference from Spud.
March 8, 2014
Through his latest blog post, Jim Ross was critical of TNA because the company has Kurt Angle working a mid card match at TNA Lockdown 2014. For those that are not aware, the former world heavyweight champion has been booked for a steel cage match against Ethan Carter. The main event of the pay per view features Brutus Magnus and Samoa Joe.
March 5, 2014
A big six man tag team match has been added to the Wrestle-1 Outbreak, and Samoa Joe will be heavily featured, as the TNA star is teaming up with former WWE star Rene Dupree and Masayuki Kono. The three of them will face the Great Muta, who founded the promotion, Rob Terry and a mystery partner. The event takes place next week in Japan.
February 26, 2014
While there are those backstage that believe that he is deserving of another title reign, the belief right now is that Samoa Joe will not be taking the belt from Brutus Magnus. TNA wants to give him a nice long reign to build up his heel heat, so that when the time is right, a baby face would get the huge victory over him.
February 26, 2014
Reports recently spread that Samoa Joe gave a huge speech to the other TNA performers on the tour bus while the company was in England. The speech was said to have incited a loud applause from his coworkers. Joe, however, issued this statement on Twitter to deny the rumors.
February 19, 2014
The belief right now is that Kurt Angle will be the next performer to challenge Brutus Magnus for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He is currently involved in a program with Samoa Joe, and the plan appears to be for Magnus to retain and move on. It also appears that Angle will be putting over Magnus as well.
February 18, 2014
Rumors are floating around that several performers within TNA are loyal to Jeff Jarrett and are possibly going to jump ship whenever his new promotion starts up. Samoa Joe, who has grown into a locker room leader, has advised those guys to keep going out there and performing because there is still a chance that the new promotion does not get formed.
February 13, 2014
In order to help his new promotion gain more fans, the Great Muta is putting together a big pay per view in March. It now has a name. Wrestle-1 has revealed that the event will be called Outbreak. Thanks to a business deal with TNA, the show will feature stars such as Brutus Magnus, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode.
February 12, 2014
It has now been officially announced that Samoa Joe and Brutus Magnus will be headlining TNA Lockdown 2014 in a match for the world heavyweight championship. Joe recently requested a bigger role in the company, and management is honoring that request. Plus, this has been a program that was set up a long time ago in the story lines.

Long story short... I took provera for 5 days and then had AF for 6 days. After AF left I took ovulation tests each day and today I saw the faintest of lines...I'm very anxious to see if the line gets darker tomorrow. The first few days of taking the ovulation tests I wasn't waiting long enough to see if a positive line showed up.
So it looks like I will ovulate...if we don't conceive then I will have AF next month, right? And then, will I ovulate again next month????

Game changer, love this kit By JR on 8/20/2014JR would recommend this product to a friendAt first I thought to myself "I can run to the store for distilled water, it's only a 20 gallon reef"....yeah right! I quickly became tired with this routine especially when the store ran out of distilled water. Purchased this setup ASAP and have been running it like a beast to store water on the side and have free reign on my water changes. It fills up my five gallon buckets in no time and combined with the shut-off float it works great. My shut-off valve was faulty and allowed the waste to continuously run, but BRS shipped me a free replacement without issues. Great team and super great product.
Great Product/Works Great By Jon on 8/17/2014Jon would recommend this product to a friendThis thing was a breeze to install. It works great and produces about 3 gallons per hour. Only thing I would warn other people about is read the description closely. I thought the TDS meter measured my tap water coming in but it does not. It measures the water after the first filter and coming out. This is not a problem, just something I overlooked. It doesn't really matter since the unit puts out such clean water!
Great Quality By Adam on 7/23/2014Adam would recommend this product to a friendJust got my RO system today, setup take just a few minutes, it's working great. Just ordered the 150gdp water saver kit to cut down on waste water hope it works.
great! By perry on 7/23/2014perry would recommend this product to a friendThis is a great unit for the money and would definitely recommend buying this unit.
GREAT PRODUCT By q on 7/16/2014q would recommend this product to a friendalmost a year and working wonderful
Great Item! By David on 7/9/2014David would recommend this product to a friendThis is a quality product, especially for someone on a budget!!
Amazing By Dennis on 6/28/2014Dennis would recommend this product to a friendThis RO/DI is amazing. The setup was simple and instructions were easy to follow. Sure beats spending $0.70 per gallon from our LFS. Thanks Bulk Reef Supply.
Life Saver By Michael on 6/17/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendUse to use tap water from my sink and tank always had algae! Starting using this and now no more algae. Plus this will save you trips to the store if you want perfect water.
Solid By Sammy on 6/14/2014Sammy would recommend this product to a friendI bought this unit a few months ago. This was my first RO/DI unit I have owned and let me say, man I am glad I purchased this unit. I feel the unit is made of high quality materials and you cannot beat the price, especially comparing to some other brands. I took a star away only because I am getting about a 97% rejection and I tend to go through the DI quite quickly. This is somewhat of a byproduct of living in Phoenix and having a TDS of approx 820 during the summer months. However, a fellow reefer who lives close to me is getting a much better rejection rate with a similar features, different unit.
Easy replacement. By dirtdobber06 on 6/14/2014dirtdobber06 would recommend this product to a friendEasily installed this unit as a replacement for older unit. Nice features like the pressure gauge and TDS meter.
Must buy!!! By Vincent on 5/25/2014Vincent would recommend this product to a friendSo glad I bought this before starting a saltwater tank. So easy to setup. Use with a float switch and never worry about flooding your home.
Great Unit By Guy on 5/22/2014Guy would recommend this product to a friendWorks perfectly right out of the box. Super easy set-up. A must have for Reef Aquariums.

I have 35# of water presure do I need a pump to go with this do/di and if so what do I need to get ?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Paul,
Your pressure is low enough that I would recommend a booster pump as an RO/DI unit is going to work very poorly if at all at 35psi. Below I have linked the booster pump kit that you would want.
by josh hendricks on January 1, 2014, @3:46 PM
I have this system which filter package do I need to replace mine?
Josh Hendricks
Bulk Reef Supply HI Josh,
You have the 4 stage RO/DI system so you would want the 4 stage RO/DI replacement filter kit.
by jack on May 12, 2014, @9:58 PM
Hi, are there pieces and valves included with the kit so I can bypass the DI to receive drinkable RO water? If not, can you please direct me to exactly what parts I need to do this? Thank You
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jack,
If you actually want to use the unit for drinking water then you would want to look at the add on faucet kit. It has all the necessary fittings as well as the storage tank so it doesn't take you 20 minutes to fill a glass of water.
by Alison on March 13, 2014, @6:36 AM
Does this remove copper? Might be a dumb question but this is my first marine tank and I'm just doing inverts.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Alison,
In general an RO/DI unit will remove that vast majority of anything (though not 100% of anything). That said though, assuming you have potable (drinkable) water, an RO/DI unit is going to make for the best possible water for your tank. You really don't need to be worried about copper from your pipes, etc as that won't really make its way into the water.
by Shaun on January 23, 2014, @12:35 PM
Does the value plus ro/di system use 1/4" tubing or 3/8" tubing ?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Shaun,
All of our RO/DI units use the 1/4" tubing :-)
by Patrick on April 14, 2014, @5:44 AM
What is the benefits of having a 5 stage system over a 4 stage system? Im looking at both on your web page.. Is it better for a reef tank to have 5 stage?
Thank you Patrick
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Patrick,
Both produce 0 tds water. A 5 stage system is necessary if your water supply uses chloramines and if they use chlorine the filters will last longer in a 5 stage compared to a 4 (still make sure you get the systems with the right filters). Also the 5 stage system comes with more permanent water connections (angle stop adapters, saddle valves, etc) whereas the 4 stage is only faucet adapters as its all on one bracket to be setup and taken down when your done.
by Jonathan on February 24, 2014, @6:22 AM
What size tubing does this use so I can order more if the correct size?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jonathan,
All of our RO/DI units use 1/4" tubing.
by David on September 20, 2013, @8:59 AM
Does it also come with all the correct carbon, membrane, and resin to start off with?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi David,
Yes, the RO/DI unit comes with all of the filters installed.

Abbigail Hickman, 9, thought of the fundraiser after a visit to the animal shelter in December to get a new cat.
During her visit, Abbigail was upset by the conditions she saw.
"It was all, like, run-down, and it smelled a lot," she said. "It's not a nice spot for the shelter."
Abbigail is an avid bowler, competing in the West Valley Bowl Junior Travel League and Monday Afternoon Juniors recreation league at West Valley Bowl, 2365 East St.
She rolls about 40 games a week with her 12-pound ball and carries a 120-pin average.
A few days after her visit to the shelter, she asked her mother, Sunee, if she thought the bowling alley would do a fundraiser for the animal shelter.
Hickman told her daughter it was up to her to organize it, and Abbigail approached West Valley Bowl manager Herb Hunter, who agreed to host Pins for Pets.
The bowling fundraiser will be from 2 to 5 p.m. March 23, a Saturday.
"I like bowling, and if you can help people with something you like, you should do it," Abbigail said.
During a return trip to the animal shelter, Abbigail tried to figure out what donations the staff needed for the animals.
"They need a lot. Some of the stuff surprised me — brushes, collars, treats, towels and flea medicine," she said. "I want to help out — seems they always need a lot."
She also wanted to buy toys for the dogs in the kennels.
"Dogs don't get any nice toys," she said. "It's not fair."
Tracy Animal Shelter supervisor Ben Miller, 43, said donations help with the 2,500 cats and dogs that spend time at the shelter annually.
"We are very grateful for all donations," Miller said. "Donations of animal food is appreciated, as it allows us to relocate funds to other areas, most noticeably medical needs."
Miller said the shelter can't take tennis balls or similarly sized toys, as they can clog the drains at the shelter.
Abbigail has a $1,500 goal for her fundraising to buy supplies for the shelter.
She has also been gathering items for a raffle to be held along with the bowling.
The raffle tickets will sold only to people who donate something to the animal shelter, such as a can of dog food or a pet toy.
Among the items she has received for the raffle so far are a signed San Jose Sharks hockey puck, a one-hour Massage Envy session and a flight with the Wings of Rescue organization when it transports animals to Oregon.
Abbigail said people can drop off donations in a barrel during the fundraiser, including food, toys and bedding. A box will be available for monetary donations.
Pins for Pets tickets are $10. For information, email email@example.com or email@example.com or call 835-5262.
• Contact Glenn Moore at 835-3030 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A shorter U.S. 89 detour in northern Arizona has opened after the Arizona Department of Transportation finished fencing to prevent livestock from crossing the roadway.
ADOT said the 44-mile-long temporary U.S. 89 route runs parallel to U.S. 89 from The Gap to LeChee. The road was called Navajo Route 20, a tribal route, which was mostly dirt before ADOT paved it.
On Feb. 20, a landslide buckled pavement along the mountain slope in the Echo Cliffs area and closed U.S. 89 between Bitter Springs and Page.
ADOT said it could be more than two years before motorists can again travel a now-closed section of U.S. 89 between Flagstaff and Page.
The department said it plans to rebuild the highway atop a huge new rock retaining wall at the base of a Feb. 20 landslide where the ground slipped out from under U.S. Highway 89. The project is expected to cost $40 million.
The active landslide is about 135 feet below the roadway and measures approximately 1,200 long at the base of the slope.
ADOT has worked with the Navajo Nation, Navajo Division of Transportation, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal Highway Administration to pave Navajo Route 20 that runs parallel to U.S. 89, approximately 17 miles north of the U.S. 160 junction.
Construction started in late May on N20. U.S. 89 has been closed north of Bitter Springs and south of Page since Feb. 20.

Investigators are questioning a suspect in the kidnapping and murder of a prominent businesswoman from northwest Indiana.
Mary Austgen of St. John, Indiana, was murdered late last month. The 76-year-old's body was found dead on March 29, in the parking garage of the Majestic Star Casino in Gary. Her body had suffered a gunshot wound.
It was a day earlier that police said she was abducted from her business, and two rings she was wearing at the time were missing.
Police are keeping pretty tight lipped about the investigation, saying publicly that they have a "person of interest" in custody, but a source connected with the investigation says that the man being questioned is the person seen in surveillance photos with the victim the day she disappeared.
That man is seen entering the office of the Griffith business owned by Austgen and then leaving with her late last month. It's the last time she was seen alive.
The same man seen at Griffith's business was seen several hours later getting into the passenger side of a black car that pulled up at the valet at the casino.
Griffith and Alsip police served a search warrant about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 12200 block of Lawndale Avenue in Alsip, and a subject was taken into custody, a statement from Alsip police said. At least one other search warrant was executed in conjunction with the investigation.
"I spoke with the police chief a little while ago, he believes that charges will be filed shortly," says town councilman Rick Ryfa. "It won't be tonight, but they expect to file charges shortly with the Lake County Prosecutor."
On Wednesday, members of the Northwest Indiana Major Crimes Task Force were back in the Alsip neighborhood going door-to-door and talking with neighbors.
The homeowner where the man was arrested declined to talk about what happened.
Investigators are continuing to follow up on all other leads and other possible suspects, a statement from Griffith police said. No further information was made available and no charges have been filed.
Earlier this week, a press conference announcing a $10,000 reward was conducted outside the Griffith Police Department. The reward was offered by the ATF and private parties.
Police believe more than one person may have been involved in Austgen's murder.
"From quite some time back it's believed that there may have been other individuals involved in this," Ryfa says. "It's an on going investigation and with the work of the Griffith Police Department and many other agencies the are trying to locate any of those potential suspect."
No charges have yet been filed.

What is likely one of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's final initiatives as mayor will bring a fresh look to Manhattan's Lower East Side
Bloomberg, who will finish his third term in office in just over 100 days, said the Seward Park area near Essex and Delancey streets will become a 1.65 million-square-foot mixed use development.
Affordable housing, a school, community center, rooftop urban farm and an Andy Warhol Museum are among the sites planned for the area.
Bloomberg told reporters at a news conference Wednesday that his administration continues to work as hard as it can.
The mayor took exception to a comment by a reporter who suggested that the project would be one of his last.
"Why would you assume that? You probably wrote that after the second term we wouldn't do anything," said Bloomberg.
