The Amman Archaeological MuseumThe Amman Archaeological Museum was built in 1951 on the Citadel Hill in Amman. It houses artefacts from all the archaeological sites in the country. The collection is arranged in chronological order and represents ancient items of daily life such as pottery, glass, flint and metal tools, as well as monumental materials such as inscriptions and statuaries. The museum also houses several jewellery inscription statuary and coin collections.
The archaeological periods represented in the museum are:
Among the most important exhibits in the museum are the plaster statues from 'Ain Ghazal, dating back to around 6000 BC, and the Dead Sea bronze scroll written in Aramaic characters.
Opening Hours : 08:00- 18:00, on Friday 09:00 – 16:00, no closing days.
The collection of the museum represents items of daily life from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, such as:
Opening Hours : 08:00- 18:00, on Friday 09:00 – 16:00, no closing days.
The Jordanian Museum of Popular TraditionsThe Jordanian Museum of Popular Traditions was established in 1971. The museum is located within the eastern section of the Roman Theatre in Amman. Its aims are to collect Jordanian and Palestinian folk heritage from all over Jordan, to protect and conserve this heritage and to present it for future generations. The museum is also concerned with introducing our popular heritage to the world.The museum has five exhibition halls. The first hall is dedicated to the traditional costumes of the East Bank. In the second hall, the traditional jewellery and cosmetic items of the various regions in
the East and West Banks are on display.The third hall contains a collection of Palestinian costumes and heard-dresses. In the fourth hall there is a collection of pottery and wooden cooking pots and food preparation vessels, as well as a collection of silver jewellery and bridal dresses from the West Bank. The fifth hall, which is in a vault of the Roman Theatre, houses a collection of mosaics from Byzantine churches in Jerash and Madaba.
Opening Hours : 08:00- 18:00, on Friday 09:00 – 16:00, no closing days.
Since its establishment, the Gallery has greatly expanded. Its collection, which started with around 50 works of art, amounts now to almost 2000, consisting of works by 520 artists from 43 Arab and Islamic countries, ranging from Brunei in the Pacific to Morocco on the Atlantic, and from Turkey and Iran on the Caspian Sea to Pakistan on the Indian Ocean. The Society has organized more than fifty exhibitions drawn from major sources in Europe and America, such as the Center Pompidou in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Geneva Museum of History and Art and the Harvard Semitic Museum, for display in Amman. Turkish museums, the Museum of Modern Art in Cairo, as well as other collections in the Arab World have sent special exhibitions on loan to the Jordan National Gallery.From its own collection, the Royal Society of Fine Arts has sent major exhibitions abroad to France, Turkey, Poland, and Great Britain.
Opening Hours : 09:00 – 17:00, closed on Tuesday & Friday.

A local father turned the tables on a suspected child predator. This dad even got the man to confess on camera."He came with condoms in his pocket, and I have a video of him saying I came to have sex with your daughter," said Antoine Martin."You know how old Ariel is?" Martin can be heard asking the suspect on video.SUSPECT: Yes, I know how old Ariel is.MARTIN: How old is Ariel?SUSPECT: She's 13.MARTIN: And how old is you?SUSPECT: I'm 22.Martin believes he saved his daughter's innocence. He set up a sting operation after he noticed inappropriate messages on his 13-year-old's Facebook page."Just like I suspected, he escalated it and went from just talking to her, being a 'big brother' type, to saying he wanted to be her secret boyfriend and that he wanted to have sexual relations with her, how sexy she was," Martin said.The Martin family met the suspect at the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan in Highland Park where his daughter spent time after school.Posing as his daughter, Martin accepted the suspect's invitation for a personal visit, but he had something else in mind."Once he came and walked in the house, I grabbed him, grabbed him and held him for the police," Martin explained.The 22-year-old suspect was ultimately arrested, and this father handed the cops a videotaped confession."Tell me why you came here today? Tell the truth," Martin said on the video.SUSPECT: I came here because I thought Ariel wanted to be my girlfriend. So I came here to spend time with her.MARTIN: And do what?SUSPECT: And to have sex with her.SUSPECT: I do not want this to go onto the Boys and Girls Club. I do not want this to go public, man. I'm sorry. I swear to God I'm sorry.""He's supposed to be there to help the kids," said Martin. "He said he has a problem. He had a thirst is what he said, and that he wanted to try to get help and this would be the last time."So there are some questions here. Was the father within his legal rights? Is this entrapment, and could the defense say that the confession was coerced?"Can the father do what he did? The short answer is yes. Now does the suspect have some rights? Yes. I would say the first thing would be entrapment. There's a reason why police get involved and kind of do these sting operations. Why? They know what they're doing. Does the father really know what he [is] doing? Did he encourage this particular suspect to do what he did?" said Fox 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton."The confession, they're almost always challenged, even if the cops do it, the father does it, whatever. I would imagine this one will be challenged, as well."The suspect is still in police custody and has not been arraigned. Martin said there were witnesses to the video confession, and it was not coerced. He said he read the Michigan Penal Code for a citizen's arrest and followed everything by the book so the confession would stick.A spokesman for the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan said the suspect recently visited the Highland Park location, but has not been a volunteer for three years.The Boys and Girls Club said they conduct thorough background checks of all volunteers and staff, and their main priority is the safety and well-being of the young people they serve.No other victims have come forward.

KHQ.COM - A Spokane judge has decided that a man with an IQ of about 60 is competent to stand trial in a fatal stabbing. Superior Court Judge Maryann Moreno ruled Tuesday that 18-year-old Avondre Graham is capable of understanding court proceedings and helping his lawyers. On Monday prosecutors urged Moreno to go ahead with the criminal case, while defense attorneys wanted her to set it aside. Graham is charged with second-degree murder in the September 2012 stabbing of 55-year-old Sharlotte McGill as she walked her dog along a trail. Graham lived at the same apartment complex as McGill.
KHQ.COM - Judge Moreno will make a decision on Tuesday morning as to whether murder suspect Avondre Graham is competent to stand trial. In court on Monday two expert witnesses, both psychologists who evaluated Graham, had two different opinions.
One found he is competent, the other found he isn't. However they did agree on a few points; that Graham is "mildly mentally retarded" based on his IQ score of roughly 55-65 which hasn't changed much since he was evaluated at the age of 8.
Graham has been in jail since Sept. 13 of 2012.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Judge Maryann Moreno wants time to gather her thoughts, a decision will not be made today. It's expected tomorrow morning.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Defense: it's not just about #AvondreGraham understanding, it's about him being able to assist in his own defense.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Prosecutor: the issue isn't whether this is a complex case, it's whether #AvondreGraham is competent to stand trial.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Defense: #AvondreGraham's IQ hasn't changed since he was 8 years old, has hard time understanding concepts of murder trial.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Defense attorney: the complexities of this case are "a lot to process for someone with an average IQ"
TWEET FROM KELSEY: No final witness, now closing arguments from both sides before it's in the hands of the judge
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Defense now cross-examining Dr. Henry about his opinion that murder suspect #AvondreGraham can stand trial.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Dr. Henry: #AvondreGraham has history of depressive disorder, psychological problems & emerging anti-social personality traits
TWEET FROM KELSEY: Dr. Henry: "I believe Avondre Graham has adequate capacity to assist in his own defense." Conflicting opinions from today.
TWEET FROM KELSEY: A forensic psychologist from Eastern State Hospital is on the stand now in #AvondreGraham's competency hearing.
KHQ.COM - Avondre Graham is in court today for a competency hearing. He's accused of killing Sharlotte McGill.
McGill was murdered Thursday, May 3, while walking her dog, Lily, on Tuffy's trail, a makeshift trail near her apartment on South Riverton where she regularly walked.
While on the trail, Graham is suspected of jumping out of the bushes and repeatedly stabbed McGill, for no apparent reason, in her arms, chest, and forehead. Police confirmed the attack was random. McGill screamed and stumbled onto a nearby street. Several people nearby, including her daughter Billie McKinney, rushed to her aid.
McGill died shortly after on the way to the hospital.

A Beaumont Police Department spokesperson has released the name of a man who was shot to death Monday night.
The victim is identified as Emanuel Burleigh, 20, of Beaumont. Burleigh's next of kin have been notified of his death.
Just before 8 p.m. Monday, officers were called to a shooting in the 5600 block of Lancaster Lane. When they arrived they found Burleigh with a gunshot wound to the upper body. Paramedics told police he was already dead when the officers arrived.
Officers spoke with witnesses and determined a suspect. The identity of the suspect has not been released as of 11 a.m. Tuesday.
A police spokesperson said the suspect voluntarily accompanied detectives to the Police Station to give a statement. Detectives also took statements from other witnesses at the scene.
Beaumont Police Sgt. Rob Flores said information is still very preliminary, but it appears that Burleigh and the suspect were acquaintances. According to witnesses, they had been involved in an altercation at another location earlier in the evening. The two parted after that altercation.
Police say it appears Burleigh showed up at the house in the 5600 block of Lancaster and confronted the suspect again. The disturbance became physical and the suspect produced a gun and fired it at Burleigh.
The suspect was released by police. The case has been forwarded to the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office for further review.

By Robin SchwartzFOX 2 News DetroitSOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Wind power, solar power, hydropower, biomass -- Proposal 3 requires 25 percent of Michigan's energy to come from those renewable sources by 2025. However, the clean, green constitutional amendment comes with controversy.The big utility companies DTE Energy and Consumers Energy are among those urging people to vote no on 3. They say we shouldn't lock energy policy into the state constitution, and they estimate the proposal will cost Michigan families and businesses $12 billion because 3,100 wind turbines would be needed at $4 million each."For us, this isn't a debate about the environment or whether or not we support green energy. It's about the process in which we would get there," said Megan Brown from Care for Michigan. "This is a serious threat to Michigan's energy future."Supporters like the Michigan Nurses Association and environmental groups say just the opposite. They insist Prop 3 will ensure Michigan's energy future. They say the plan will bring $10 billion in investments, create 94,000 jobs and significantly reduce pollution."Michigan has the lowest renewable energy standard of all of the Midwest, yet we still have the highest energy prices. That's because we rely on costly coal and all of the pollution that it spews out in terms of healthcare cost in addition," said Dianne Byrum from Michigan Energy, Michigan Jobs.More than half of Michigan's electricity comes from coal burning power plants. However, every year 100 percent of the coal is imported from other states. That costs consumers $1.7 billion a year.Michigan already has an energy reform law known as the Clean Act passed in 2008. Because of it ten percent of our electricity must come from renewable sources by 2015.The other big issue in the Prop 3 debate is cost. Opponents say if it passes, energy costs will skyrocket. Supporters say a one percent cap that's part of the proposal will prevent utility companies from jacking up rates."Should something go wrong and it costs more to meet this standard, the utilities can stretch out the time it requires to meet the 25 percent standard," Byrum explained."What happens when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine?" Brown said."How do you know what the world's going to look like in 2025 when we don't even have a federal energy policy? Having a federal energy policy would make a huge difference in being able to make these determinations in a thoughtful way," said Governor Rick Snyder.At least 30 other states have renewable energy standards, including Illinois, which has a 25 by 2025 policy in place. California has the most aggressive policy -- 33 percent by 2020.
Aggressive wasps have forced an entire neighborhood in Detroit to come to a standstill.

Genome Survey Links Many Genes to Breast, Colon Cancers
Last week, researchers reported the results of the first attempt to identify the genetic alterations involved in two common cancers using the tools developed to sequence the human genome.
They identified 189 mutated genes in tumors from patients with breast or colon cancers. The vast majority of genes had not been linked to cancer previously.
The team, led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, analyzed 13,000 genes in 11 colon tumors and 11 breast tumors. Each tumor had 90 genetic mutations on average, of which 11 to 17 mutations may have been critical in causing cancer. Read more
Unique Program Fosters Technology Development
Last week, more than 100 NCI-sponsored investigators met in Bethesda, Md., to discuss their projects and share ideas about the best ways to develop the technologies of the future. With just a glance at the agenda, you can see that this 2-day session echoed many of the exciting themes of today's cancer research: biomarkers, proteomics, signal transduction pathways, cellular imaging, and identification of cancer stem cells.
It is becoming clearer every day that technology development will both integrate and drive the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. NCI's Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program, which hosted last week's event, is aimed squarely at devising and developing novel and emerging technologies in the support of cancer research, treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. In other words, technology is fueling the engines of discovery and translation. Read more
Genome Survey Links Many Genes to Breast, Colon Cancers
Last week, researchers reported the results of the first attempt to identify the genetic alterations involved in two common cancers using the tools developed to sequence the human genome.
They identified 189 mutated genes in tumors from patients with breast or colon cancers. The vast majority of genes had not been linked to cancer previously.
The team, led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, analyzed 13,000 genes in 11 colon tumors and 11 breast tumors. Each tumor had 90 genetic mutations on average, of which 11 to 17 mutations may have been critical in causing cancer.
Different sets of genes were mutated in colon tumors and breast tumors; the types of mutations were also different. Patients with the same cancer also tended to have different types of mutations, the researchers reported online September 7 in Science.
"These results may explain the clinical diversity that physicians have been talking about for a long time," says co-leader Dr. Victor Velculescu of Johns Hopkins. "The genetic diversity of cancer may underlie the clinical diversity."
But the genetic diversity may not be as great as it now appears, he adds, because some of the mutated genes may participate in the same cellular processes, or pathways.
If this can be confirmed in follow-up studies, the hope is that drugs could be designed to intervene at a point in the pathway that may benefit patients with various related mutations.
Drs. Bert Vogelstein and Kenneth Kinzler of Johns Hopkins co-led the study, which cost about $5 million and was funded in part by NCI. In recent years, their laboratories have screened families of genes linked to cancer, and the new study expands the scope.
"We realized from our earlier work that to find cancer genes you really have to look for them in an unbiased way," says Dr. Velculescu. A genome-wide screen makes no assumptions about which genes are important and often yields surprises.
Mutations that were identified in the initial set of 22 tumors were subsequently assessed in 48 additional tumors. Mutations that occurred frequently were scrutinized for possible roles in cancer.
The 13,000 genes are the best-studied of the roughly 20,000 genes in the human genome. As with all genome projects, the results represent a beginning rather than an end.
"To make the findings most useful, we need to integrate them with other types of data, such as epigenetic changes and chromosomal anomalies," says co-author Dr. Will Parsons of Johns Hopkins.
The results, he adds, "show how much remains to be learned about cancer and also the importance of doing these types of studies for different cancers."
The sequences of cancer genomes are ultimately obtainable, the researchers conclude. The methods, they note, will improve as more sequencing data are accumulated through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Pilot Project and other efforts now under way.
Leaders of TCGA said last week in a statement that the Science paper was "proof of principle" of the potential benefits of large-scale mutational screens for cancer.
"The strategy works," says Dr. Sanford Markowitz of Case Western Reserve University, a leader of the Science study and longtime collaborator with the Hopkins group. "But I wouldn't want anyone to think we have finished with breast cancer and colon cancer.
"There is still very important work to been done on these diseases and on the cancer genome," he says.

Unique Program Fosters Technology Development
Last week, more than 100 NCI-sponsored investigators met in Bethesda, Md., to discuss their projects and share ideas about the best ways to develop the technologies of the future. With just a glance at the agenda, you can see that this 2-day session echoed many of the exciting themes of today's cancer research: biomarkers, proteomics, signal transduction pathways, cellular imaging, and identification of cancer stem cells.
It is becoming clearer every day that technology development will both integrate and drive the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. NCI's Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program, which hosted last week's event, is aimed squarely at devising and developing novel and emerging technologies in the support of cancer research, treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. In other words, technology is fueling the engines of discovery and translation.
Launched in 1998 under the NCI leadership of Dr. Richard Klausner, the IMAT program was, in many ways, a response to what NCI leaders correctly saw as the forthcoming genomics revolution. But Dr. Klausner and his staff also realized that, because of their high-risk nature, technology-related grant applications traditionally did not fare well in the R01 grant review process, the principal means of funding for individual investigators. Thus, a successful program was born.
Today, IMAT cuts across nearly all of NCI's extramural divisions, working to develop technologies that will, for example, detect alterations and instabilities in DNA, accurately measure gene expression, detect and analyze proteins and their functions, and generate novel systems of drug delivery through nanobiology. IMAT funds high-risk, high-reward projects, which are often at a conceptual stage, with little available experimental data. Grant applications are typically in proof-of-concept form.
Among the technology tools developed through the program are gene expression arrays, ultra-high-throughput molecular detection platforms, photo-stable molecular labels, and specific methods and technologies for clinical specimen preservation.
The success of the IMAT program stems, in part, from its structure. The program utilizes a staged approach, in which an exploratory or pilot project precedes a more advanced developmental or implementation phase. The exploratory/pilot requires the creation and use of quantitative milestones that address specificity, sensitivity, speed, and other performance parameters. The technology developed from the program is disseminated via collaboration, publication, licensing, and commercialization.
NCI has committed approximately $10.5 million each year in the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years to the IMAT program. These dollars go toward soliciting and funding highly innovative, high-risk, cancer-relevant technology development projects ($3 million); developing emerging technologies within an appropriate biological or clinical cancer-relevant context or setting ($3 million); and developing sample preparation techniques and methodologies that are essential for effective research, technology development, and validation toward clinical application ($1 million). In addition, approximately $3 million in SBIR funds are used to support highly innovative technologies in private-sector company projects.
The IMAT program has made more than 300 awards since its inception, and both the number and quality of applications have steadily risen. Currently, the program is funding approximately 50 awards per year. About a third of the program's awards are made to small business concerns. Another attribute of the program is that about 15 to 20 percent of the awards each year are to new investigators.
Technologies supported through IMAT enable groundbreaking science across NCI. Those tools will allow for more accurate analysis of molecular pathways involved in different cancers, and they will reduce the cost of doing research through smaller sample sizes and the ability to simultaneously analyze multiple intracellular activities.
And, as the work being funded by IMAT so clearly demonstrates, innovative technologies will be essential to our continued progress against cancer.Dr. John E. Niederhuber

Paclitaxel Fails as Ongoing Treatment for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Taxane drugs, such as paclitaxel, have shown effectiveness in helping to stabilize metastatic breast cancer and prolong the time to disease progression. However, whether chemotherapy should be continued once disease stabilization has been achieved is controversial. A new study from Italy, the Maintenance Paclitaxel 1 (MANTA1) study, has now shown that continuing paclitaxel treatment as maintenance therapy in patients whose cancer has been stabilized does not improve progression-free survival.
In the study, 238 patients with metastatic breast cancer and no evidence of disease progression after chemotherapy with paclitaxel and doxorubicin or epirubicin were randomly assigned to receive eight additional doses of paclitaxel, given once every 3 weeks, or no additional treatment. The study was stopped in 2002 when it became clear that there was no difference in progression-free survival or overall survival between the two patient groups. Some patients treated with paclitaxel experienced severe side effects from the drug, including a loss of white blood cells and nerve damage.
Lead author Dr. Alessandra Gennari of the National Cancer Research Institute in Genoa, Italy, and colleagues concluded in the August 20 Journal of Clinical Oncology that the policy of prolonging treatment after aggressive modern combination chemotherapy cannot be recommended for women with metastatic breast cancer.
Since the beginning of this study in 1998, administration of paclitaxel maintenance therapy has increased to once a week. Therefore, a possible benefit from more aggressive maintenance therapy cannot be ruled out.
New Treatment Pays Dividends in Pediatric Medulloblastoma
Significantly altering how both radiation and chemotherapy are used to treat children with medulloblastoma can significantly improve survival for patients with high-risk disease, according to clinical trial results released early online September 7 in Lancet Oncology.
Led by researchers from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the 134-patient study entailed giving patients with high-risk disease higher doses of radiation therapy and all patients a more "dose-intensive" chemotherapy regimen - that is, higher than usual doses for 4 months, instead of lower doses over 12 months, which is the current standard of care.
The 5-year event-free and overall survival rate for high-risk patients (metastatic disease or a tumor larger than 1.5 cm2 after surgery) was 70 percent compared with historical rates of 30 to 40 percent. High-risk patients with metastatic disease (who made up 85 percent of that group) had an overall survival rate of 66 percent.
"Meticulous staging and careful attention to detail during radiotherapy planning and treatment are essential to obtaining similar outcomes," said the study's lead author, Dr. Amar Gajjar, who directs the Division of Neuro-Oncology at St. Jude.
Among average-risk patients, 5-year event-free survival was 83 percent, on par with outcomes following standard chemotherapy regimens. The use of dose-intensive chemotherapy in average-risk patients, cautioned Dr. Howard Fine, chief of the NCI Neuro-Oncology Branch, may increase their chances of greater short-term and/or long-term toxicity "with no apparent benefit compared to historical controls." But a shorter overall length of treatment in the new dose-intense regimen also could reduce long-term morbidity, he continued, noting that future comparative trials will have to study these issues closely.
Finally, the results of a regimen tested in only a few select pediatric brain tumor centers of excellence may not be comparable to the historical data obtained from the often poorer outcomes seen when such treatment regimens are expanded to larger multi-institutional trials, Dr. Fine added.Analyses of tumor samples, the study authors reported, confirmed earlier suggestions that patients whose tumor samples had activating mutations in the CTNNB1 gene are more likely to have superior outcomes.
70-Gene Signature for Breast Cancer Risk Validated
Researchers have independently validated a 70-gene signature created in 2002 to assess the risk of recurrence of breast cancer among certain women with node-negative disease. The signature, developed at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, has been used experimentally to identify patients who do not need adjuvant chemotherapy because the risk of recurrence is so low that withholding chemotherapy would not compromise long-term health.
The study to validate the 70-gene signature, or classifier, included 307 women with node-negative cancers and certain types of tumors. The classifier was more predictive of the risk of recurrence, the risk of distant metastatic recurrence, and death from any cause than were several standard clinical prognostic methods, the researchers reported in the September 6 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI).
"We believe the results justify proceeding to a prospective study," wrote Dr. Marc Buyse of the International Drug Development Institute in Brussels, and his colleagues in the TRANSBIG Consortium.
The validation study in JNCI, noted Dr. Richard Simon of NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis in an accompanying editorial, did not evaluate the clinical utility of the classifier. According to Dr. Simon, this can only be accomplished by randomly assigning a defined group of patients to have their treatment determined on the basis of either 1) the gene classifier or 2) standard practice guidelines. If the patients in the first group have better outcomes than those in the second, then clinical utility is established.
ERCC1 Expression in Lung Cancer May Predict Survival Benefit from Cisplatin
A new substudy from the International Adjuvant Lung Cancer Trial (IALT) - the IALT Bio study - has identified lack of expression of the DNA-repair protein ERCC1 as a possible predictor of increased survival after cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The results, published in the September 7 New England Journal of Medicine, showed that patients whose tumors lacked ERCC1 expression derived a significant survival benefit from adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy, but patients with ERCC1-positive tumors did not.
The IALT Bio investigators used immunostaining to evaluate ERCC1 expression in tumor and control tissue taken from 761 patients who participated in the IALT trial; 389 had received adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy, and 372 were followed without further treatment after surgery. The investigators then compared overall survival within the chemotherapy and control groups based on ERCC1 status.
Expression of ERCC1 correlated with age, tumor histology, and whether the tumor had spread into the pleura. For patients with ERCC1-negative tumors, the addition of chemotherapy significantly improved 5-year overall survival, which was 47 percent in the chemotherapy group and 39 percent in the control group. The addition of chemotherapy did not significantly improve survival for patients with ERCC1-positive tumors.
"Our results suggest that determination of ERCC1 expression in non-small-cell lung cancer cells before chemotherapy can make a contribution as an independent predictor of the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy," stated the authors. The next question for researchers, explained Dr. Eddie Reed of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an accompanying editorial, "is whether this information can be used prospectively."
Intervention Increases Mammography Rates Among Triracial Women
Lay health advisor (LHA) intervention improved mammography utilization and knowledge among rural, low-income white, African American, and Native American women in Robeson County, N.C., according to study results in the September 6 JNCI. Minority women and women of low socioeconomic status have lower rates of breast cancer screening and higher rates of breast cancer mortality.
The study, conducted from February 1998 through January 2002, included 851 women who were randomly assigned to the LHA intervention group or comparison group. Prior to group assignment, researchers conducted baseline interviews to gather information on breast cancer screening, cancer history, and social support, as well as knowledge of, beliefs on, and barriers to mammograms. The 9- to 12-month LHA intervention consisted of three in-person visits with a trained LHA who provided information about cancer risk and overcoming barriers to mammograms, and follow-up phone calls and mailings to encourage women to get a mammogram. The comparison group received a letter on getting a mammogram and an NCI brochure on cancer and mammography 3 and 6 months after random assignment. Both groups completed a follow-up survey at the study's culmination.
Researchers found that 42.5 percent of the women in the LHA intervention group and 27.3 percent in the comparison group received a mammogram in the 12 months before the follow-up assessment. In addition, women in the LHA intervention group showed an increase in knowledge about breast cancer screening and a reduced risk of reporting barriers to getting a mammogram, such as lack of encouragement, time, and cost of a mammogram.The study's authors concluded that "Future research should examine cost-effective ways to disseminate such interventions. These strategies are needed to reduce the disparate burden of disease among underserved populations."
Report to the Nation: U.S. Latinos and Cancer
The overall decline in cancer death rates in the United States, a trend first reported in the early 1990s, continued through 2003, according to the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, published online September 6 in Cancer.
The report provides updated statistics on cancer rates and trends from 1975 through 2003. It features a special section on cancer among Hispanic/Latino populations living in the United States.
Overall cancer incidence rates (the rates at which new cancers are diagnosed) have been stable for both sexes and all races combined from 1992 through 2003.
For men, the overall incidence rates were stable from 1992 through 2003, but the same rates for women increased from 1979 through 2003, due in part to small but persistent increases in lung cancer. This year, however, there was some apparent good news.
"The rate of new cases of female lung cancer is still increasing, but the rates of increase are slowing down," says lead researcher Dr. Holly L. Howe of the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, Inc. (NAACCR).
Another change is that incidence rates for breast cancer have stabilized, ending a rise that began in the 1980s. The researchers will not know for several years whether this indication of a changing trend is a true reversal or a random fluctuation.
The incidence rate of thyroid cancer among women has doubled several times since 1981. The increases may reflect improvements in the detection of the disease, but changes in risk factors may also play a role, the researchers say.
In contrast, many cancer types have declining death and incidence rates, which the researchers attribute in part to successful cancer prevention efforts to reduce exposure to tobacco and other cancer risk factors.
"The statistics for cervical cancer are remarkable, in that both incidence and death rates have been decreasing for all racial and ethnic groups since 1975," the researchers write.
Improvements in screening have "had a measurable impact on this disease," but not all women have benefited equally, the report notes. In fact, disparities prevail among women of different socioeconomic backgrounds.
Disparities are a focus of the report's special section, which is the most comprehensive collection of cancer information about the nation's rapidly growing Hispanic/Latino populations.
"The report covers almost all of the Latino population in the U.S. and is really the first of its kind," says Dr. Howe.
Latinos had lower incidence rates for most cancers from 1999 to 2003 compared with non-Latino white populations, but had higher rates for myeloma (in females) and cancers of the stomach, liver, kidney, and cervix.
The report, which will appear in print in the October 15 Cancer, confirms previous findings that cancer is frequently discovered late in Latinos.
"Latino patients are often diagnosed in the later stages of disease, when there are fewer treatment options," says co-author Dr. Amelie Ramirez of Baylor College of Medicine.
Many of the cancers with higher incidence rates in Latinos have infectious origins, including cervical cancer (human papillomavirus virus, or HPV) and stomach cancer (Helicobacter pylori).
On the other hand, U.S. Latinos have low rates of several cancers that are common in affluent, industrialized countries where smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity are prevalent.
The report emphasizes that not all Latino populations are alike. The findings suggest that it may not be possible to compare studies on Latino populations if the populations do not share the same origins, cultural traditions, and immigration status.
By 2050, Latino populations will have contributed significantly to the growth of the U.S. population. In order to develop national strategies for controlling cancer, accurate information about the disease in these groups is needed, the researchers conclude.
The report covers 100 percent of the U.S. population for mortality, 10 percent for long-incidence trends, 73 percent for the most recent 8-year incidence trends, and 82 percent for current-incidence rates. The data are analyzed by racial and ethnic categories.
The researchers combined information from cancer registries throughout the U.S. that also participate in NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and/or the National Program of Cancer Registries, supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
First published in 1998, the report is produced by the American Cancer Society, CDC, NAACCR, and NCI.
"This report pulls together a tremendous amount of information, and it should be viewed as a reference document where people can go to find the latest information on cancer," says co-author Dr. Brenda K. Edwards of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences.

Treating Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why This Trial Is Important
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are soft tissue sarcomas that form in the outer layers of peripheral nerves (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). About half of MPNSTs are found in individuals with a hereditary condition called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Surgery is the only curative treatment for MPNSTs. The prognosis for patients with unresectable tumors (tumors that cannot be surgically removed) is poor.
In this trial, patients with unresectable MPNSTs will be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and/or radiation therapy and more chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is given to reduce the size of the MPNSTs prior to the administration of definitive local therapy (surgery and/or radiation therapy). The choice of treatment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be based on tumor location and tumor response to the chemotherapy.
"We hope MPNSTs shrink in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and etoposide, which are standard agents with proven activity in other pediatric and adult sarcomas," said Dr. Widemann.
"Furthermore, because outcomes for NF1-associated MPNSTs have been reported to be worse compared with sporadic tumors," Dr. Widemann said, "we will evaluate outcomes in the two groups treated with identical therapy to determine if patients with NF1-associated MPNSTs face a worse prognosis."

Cancer Center Directors Report on Accelerating Successes Against Cancer
At the September 7 meeting of the National Cancer Advisory Board, the working group of directors of the NCI-designated Cancer Centers presented its recommendations for "Accelerating Successes Against Cancer."
"Never has there been such opportunity and promise for improving outcomes for patients with cancer," said Dr. John Mendelsohn, president of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and chair of the group. "Most of the nation's NCI-designated Cancer Centers are imbedded in academic medical centers. Thus, the nation's Cancer Centers are uniquely positioned to both lead in cancer research and lead in the dissemination process."
The recommendations are the result of a November 2005 meeting of NCI's director and the Cancer Center directors. At a follow-up meeting last May, the group presented its preliminary recommendations, which are subdivided into six goal areas for the Cancer Centers to pursue:
Prevention: The recommendations of the National Cancer Policy Board on cancer prevention and early detection, focusing on evidence-based interventions in lifestyle and behavior, should be implemented, as well as scientifically established medical strategies. Research in personalized medicine and behavioral sciences should be increased.
Early detection: Large-scale, collaborative clinical trials should be designed to identify potential markers, followed by clinical trials validating these markers' capacity to predict cancer. Partnerships between cancer centers, government, health care agencies, and advocacy groups should be forged to expand the use of validated screening methods, extend access, and disseminate information.
Treatment: The recommendations of the Clinical Trials Working Group to improve NCI's capacity to coordinate and support innovative clinical research should be implemented, making support of clinical investigators and infrastructure a top priority. Collaborations between cancer centers to design and perform trials and share specialized core services should be increased.
Survivorship: Cancer Centers should collaborate with NCI's Office of Cancer Survivorship to establish a data warehouse of clinical information, research protocols, educational materials, and outreach activities. Centers should also collaborate with the American Society of Clinical Oncology to develop clinical practice guidelines for survivors.
Collaborations: Collaboration between companies and academic institutions should be facilitated by developing shared licensing agreements to speed contract negotiations. Expertise and resources of Cancer Centers should be brought together for collaborative chemoprevention trials.
Dissemination: The medical and financial benefits of cancer control best practices should be demonstrated by establishing projects in regions served by Cancer Centers, funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and led by the Cancer Centers. Cancer care and control guidelines should be disseminated in collaboration with other agencies.
NCI Acting Director and former Cancer Center Director Dr. John Niederhuber thanked the working group for developing the recommendations. "I applaud the Cancer Center directors for taking the time and putting in the effort to produce this thoughtful report. It now falls on NCI to carefully consider its recommendations and turn them into a plan for action," he noted.

under-layer too long
I had the same problem as Green Owl. The dress looks perfect on the hanger, but when worn the under layer is too long and shows the lining below where the top layer falls. I sent it back rather than try to fix it. Apart from that, the fit was excellent all over.
Very Thin
This dress is very cute! I love the style and fit. Beware though it is extremely thin and leaves nothing to the imagination. I had planned to wear it for Easter, however I will have to find a full long white slip or it might be considered inappropriate for church. It has a built in slip, but that too is so thin that it doesn't really do the job it was intended to do. I'm very disappointed in the quality of this dress. I have several dresses from Chadwick's so I was surprised when I was not happy with this one.
Lovely, but awkward
I purchased the "New French Blue" version of this garment, which is made to resemble Catherine Duchess of Cambridge's "going home" dress after the birth of her first child. I am short and curvy, and though the bodice fits perfectly, the under-layer of the garment was much too long: the white lining showed between the overskirt and the attached the polka-dotted ruffle. I will need to take this garment to my seamstress to have it altered so that it looks right.

FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) - When the Fond du Lac police officer refused the 36 year old woman's request for a ride home, she asked for an ambulance.
When the cop said she'd have to be injured, she reportedly threw herself to the ground and said she's hurt her knee.
Police were called by a man who said the suspect wouldn't stop asking him for money. When officers arrived, she told them the man owed her $100. Police told her she'd have to take her complaint to court and she needed to leave the property.
Police did go ahead and call the ambulance for her, but it likely wasn't what she expected. They say she was looking for a free ride, but she is going to have to pay for the ambulance taking her to an area hospital.

Elder Scrolls MMO Rumors Gain Slight CredenceAfter Bethesda-parent ZeniMax revealed it had secured $300 million to fund massively multiplayer online games," among other things, the internet was once again rife with speculation that an MMO set in the popular Elder Scrolls universe was on the way.
It was a familiar tune for some, given that ZeniMax had recently announced it was opening an MMO division and recruited former Mythic Entertainment executive producer Matt Frior to head it up.
The latest piece of evidence pointing to an online Elder Scrolls game comes from Voodoo Extreme. The site reports that ZeniMax recently acquired the domain name ElderScrollsOnline.com. It could be a simple matter of the company attempting to circumvent domain squatting, but it at least indicates that ZeniMax is thinking about such a game.
No system has been indicated for the MMO project, though a PC version is assumed as it is the main platform for MMOs. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions are possible as well, as ZeniMax's last major game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion from Bethesda, was well-received on both systems, with its next big title, Fallout 3, being developed for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 as well.
Looking at the popular franchises held by ZeniMax that could be used in an MMO, the pickings are slim outside of Elder Scrolls, unless the company opts to create an entirely new property or license one. Subsidiary Bethesda owns the rights to Fallout, however, an MMO set in that universe is already being developed by Interplay, and is planned for a 2010 launch.

One of the things about sports that make them so interesting to fans are the stories of redemption that continually play out. Whether its an athlete coming back from injury, addiction problems, or other off the field problems, we find it fascinating to watch. And it depends on how an athlete handles adversity as to how we either laud him or loath him.
And then there is the case of an athlete who's skills seem to magically disappear. Many of those players never recover. And yet, once in awhile, a player is given the chance to re-find what made him a good player in the past. Case in point. Green Bay Packer kicker Mason Crosby. Last year Crosby was terrible. Packer fans were calling for his head on a weekly basis. Mike McCarthy, at one point, would eschew field goal attempts and go for it on 4th down because he had no confidence in his kicker. And yet, McCarthy wouldnt cut him loose. He continued to say that Crosby could still be a good kicker and wanted him to work through his problems.
The Packers brought in other kickers and it seemed during this years training camp that Crosby was done...but lo & behold here we are after 5 weeks and Crosby is 9-9 and yesterday he kicked five field goals without missing to tie a Packer record. He says he has found his groove again and seems to be very confident every time he steps on the field. And yet fans are still sceptical. There were many social media posts yesterday that still want the Packers to find a new kicker. Credit McCarthy for ignoring the carping and staying the course...it seems that the Packers can count on their kicker again...and in the NFL that can be the difference between playing in January and going home early.
Tony Romo will take the heat for throwing a late interception yesterday...but without Romo the Cowboys wouldnt have even been in a position to win the game. He became the first Cowboy quarterback ever to pass for over 500 yards in a game. How about roasting the Cowboy defense for being unable to even slow down Peyton Manning and the Broncos?
If the Pirates and Dodgers can win one more game I will be very interested in their matchup in the NLCS. The Pirates should have alot of support after thei years of struggles...but remember that LA is coming back from hitting rock bottom during the Frank McCourt years.
Stevens Point native Janelle McCarville played almost 23 minutes with a bad back and helped the Minnesota Lynx to a game 1 win in the WNBA finals. McCarville 7 points, five rebounds and four assists in the game.
