$29.99More InfoBook - America's Coolest Station Wagonsx
For all of us who grew up watching the world pass by from the back of a station wagon, this book touches a special chord. The same cars many would never want to be seen in are now in high demand, and it seems everyone has at least one great story involving a station wagon. Anyone who is a fan of nostalgia can relate to the subject matter, and for those who like vintage styling and modern performance, there are plenty of great examples of upgraded vintage wagons that can (and are) driven daily.
Noted magazine writing veteran Scotty Gosson takes an informative and lighthearted look at the lowly station wagon. Long lauded as a family mover unworthy of respect, the vintage style and quirky functionality of old wagons is now finding favor with enthusiasts and baby boomers alike. Their unique shapes and smile-inducing purpose separates wagons from more typical vintage rides, and in modified or customized form, wagons take on an entirely different personality.
Whether you're trying to make a statement or just wanted more space for family, friends, and luggage, this book is sure to make you smile and fondly reminisce time spent in the family wagon.

$39.99More InfoBook - Hurst Equipped: More Than 50 Years of Hi-Performancex
George Hurst was a hot rodder at heart, but he was also a visionary, an innovator, a brilliant promoter, and particularly skilled at building alliances. Hurst developed and marketed a high-performance line of shifters that would lead the industry and be the cornerstone of the company. After forming an alliance with Anco Industries, Hurst marketed and sold more than 100 speed parts, which included shifters, heads, wheels, and many other parts, and eventually the Hurst catalog became the source for high-performance parts in the1960s and 1970s.
Jack "Doc" Watson joined Hurst and became a pivotal figure within the company, which led to many performance projects with Pontiac. Over the years Hurst was also able to partner with Oldsmobile to build special 442s known as "Hurst" Olds, AMC with their wickedly effective SC Rambler, and Chrysler, creating a number of Super Stock cars as well as the 300H and one of the most memorable exhibition cars in drag racing history, the Hemi Under Glass.
No other company or individual had as big an impact on so many aspects of the automotive industry as George Hurst. His performance parts were some of the best ever, the competition cars won many races, and the muscle cars that bear his name were some of the best of the era. Scores of interviews, in-depth research, and exceptional insight from veteran magazine editor Richard Truesdell and co-author Mark Fletcher has created a g

Paddlesports Buyer?s Guide
Paddle sports are all about enjoying nature and being out on the water. There are many health benefits associated with paddling. The wide range of activity levels offered through kayaking and canoeing makes it a great pastime for people of all ages. Whether you plan on kayaking through some whitewater or canoeing across a lake it's important to have a good understanding of what gear you're going to need in order to have a fun and safe trip. This buyer's guide will help you determine what you will need in order to make sure your paddle sports adventure turns out great.
Kayaks and Kayak Accessories
Kayaking offers an adventurous way to enjoy nature while being a great form of exercise. Kayaking allows you to discover nature while promoting your health. You can swiftly traverse a winding river filled with whitewater or set off across an ocean bay. No matter the locale be sure you have the kayaking accessories that you will need before you set off on your trip.
Kayaks vary in size and shape depending on what activities you plan on engaging in. A shorter kayak will allow you more control and maneuverability but will cost you a little extra paddle work, while a longer kayak will be less maneuverable but will be easier to move across the water. A wider kayak will increase your sense of initial stability but increase drag in the water, while a narrower kayak will be more efficient with less drag but will not have the same feeling of initial stability.
Kayaking Life Jackets
The most important thing that you are going to want to have with you while you're out kayaking is a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). Typically a Type III PFD is used for kayaking and canoeing. A good kayaking PFD will be lightweight, comfortable and accommodating to your paddling activities. Finding the right life jacket for you depends on what you intend on doing while you're out on the water. Many recreational life jackets have a variety of pockets, which can be very useful for fishermen. Sizing yourself for a life jacket is fairly simple; life jacket sizes are generally determined by a chest measurement. Use measuring tape or a string and measure around the widest part of your chest.
Kayak Paddles
In order to find the right kayak paddle you need to take into consideration your height as well as what type of kayak you plan on using. The further you have to reach the water the longer the paddle you will want, while a shorter paddle will offer more maneuverability and turning capabilities but will require more excursion in order to paddle. An easy way to gauge if a paddle will work for you is to hold it horizontally in your hands with your arms slightly inside a 90 degree angle. Your hands should be about two-thirds the way between the center of the shaft and the shoulder of the blade.
Kayak Accessories
There are many accessories that you can use to better your kayaking experience. Many kayakers use sprayskirts to keep themselves dry in whitewater or inclement weather. You may also want to have a dry bag with you to keep some of your items safe and moisture free. Having a bilge pump on hand is also very convenient for those times when you need to get the water out of your vessel while you are kayaking. And let's not forget about getting your kayak to where you?re going. Having a reliable kayak cartop carrier makes it easy to bring the kayak along when you head off on trips. If you have the right kayak accessories you'll be more prepared for your paddling adventures.
Canoes and Canoe Accessories
Canoeing is a great way to explore a lake or river in an easy and relaxing way. Canoes are great for fishermen, photographers, and those that want to discover nature in a tranquil and less strenuous way. They are very stable and easy to use making them the perfect way to get out on the water no matter your age. Just bring along the right canoe accessories and you?re sure to have a calming day floating the river or out on the lake.
Finding the right canoe will depend on where you plan on canoeing as well as how many people you plan on having with you. Canoes are great for long trips down slower rivers and traversing the expanse of a lake. Some canoes also give you the option of adding a trolling motor to make the trip a little easier. Canoeing is all about comfort, many modern canoes come with padded seats, coolers, cup holders and even rod holders for fishing.
Canoe Accessories
You're going to have a tough time getting anywhere without any paddles so be sure you have some to bring along. It's also a great idea to bring along a spare paddle, because you don't want to get stuck when you're out on the water. Canoes are all about comfort and ease, however it is important to be sure you have all the right equipment and canoe accessories before you go; that way you'll be ready to have a soothing time out with nature. Don't forget about protecting your investment once you've returned home with canoe storage accessories as well.

She layered some colours on top of each other and I suggested some overlap too so that they would mix and merge nicely as they dripped down. We have a few glitter acrylics which are so beautiful!
The gorgeous little puddles of paint that accumulated at the bottom were little works of art in their own right! We have a couple of painting oil-cloth table cloths for messy activities like this!
Here is one of the finished results before it dried. The colours are so bright and the paint type makes them really shine!
And when Little Sister saw what we had been doing without her she was not impressed! So she had a go at painting large cooking apples, which she was totally absorbed by. They turned out really sweetly too!
The finished pumpkins after being left to dry out overnight. Beautiful little works of art! We will display these along with some Indian corn and leaves that we have collected. I love Autumn!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kab1 great water filter This charcoal really works well. It helps remove the chlorine and improves the taste of town tap water. I put one in my brita water pitcher to help remove any toxins that get through the brita filter. It seems to last about 6 months. June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by greenfoodieyogini water tastes great I used this once for 2 weeks on a trip to Trinidad & Tobago where you can drink the tap water, but it didn't taste great. I love the small size & light weight, compostable nature and the fact that it works--water tastes much better. To be more thorough I would like to test the water before and after for contaminants, but haven't done that yet. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by krissiet excellent so far! My husband and I have been trying very hard to live cleaner, healthier, simpler lives and looking for a better solution to cleaner water. We're not into the whole plastic leaching God only knows what into our water and sometimes just plain filtered water seems like it doesn't really hydrate, enter Kishu water filter, and our water never tasted better! What's more is that it is sustainable, compostable, and you can use it to deodorize the refrigerator after you've used it for 6 months, how cool is that! March 31, 2013

Does it filter out flouride

Answer:Kishu absorbs some fluoride but not completely - fluoride is a very small molecule which makes bonding with Kishu difficult.

Sophomore Shealyn Craven led a balanced offense, scoring 13 points as Patterson routed the host team.
"Playing in Chowchilla's tournament this weekend was exactly what we needed," said Patterson coach Elizabeth Tolleson. "It built confidence in a lot of the girls. Leadership was shown. We also controlled the tempo, which played a big part in our success. We played our game."
Sophomore Tiana Barron and junior Kiara Job each made two steals for the Tigers (4-1) in the tournament finale.
Craven earned tournament Most Valuable Player honors , and senior Shantel Perez and junior Jovanah Arrington earned places on the all-tournament team.
"Shealyn displayed excellent defense at this tournament and played three complete basketball games," Tolleson said. "Jovanah worked her tail off on the defensive end, while putting her offensive game to great use. Shantel contributed by controlling the game at guard and getting the ball to the right people."
Patterson reached the championship game with a 45-27 victory against Western Athletic Conference foe Los Banos High on Friday, Dec. 7.
Craven had 13 points, and Arrington had three assists and four steals. Junior Dayna Hansen notched three steals, and freshman Danielle Jenkins added three blocked shots for the Tigers.
"Our full-court press was very aggressive and we had a lot of deflections, which turned into steals," Tolleson said. "It was an up-tempo game, but we threw different looks at Los Banos and didn't allow them to do what they wanted. We dictated the entire game."
On Thursday, Dec. 6, in the opening round of the tournament, Craven scored 15 points — all on 3-pointers — as she led Patterson to a 59-5 shellacking of Avenal High.
The game was the Tigers' first since their lone loss of the season, a 41-38 defeat by Enochs High of Modesto on Dec. 4.
The key to Patterson's lopsided victory was defense, according to the coach, as the Tigers created turnovers and made easy layups.
"We were very patient when we pressed Avenal and forced them to throw the ball into our hands. We were able to convert those steals into points," Tolleson said. "The girls did a great job making their opponent work on defense and frustrated Avenal's main players."
The Tigers tallied the first 33 points of the game, while holding Avenal to just one total field goal.
Patterson held Avenal scoreless in the first half, a credit to the Tigers playing tight on the Buccaneer ball handlers and forcing mistakes that resulted in points on the other end.
Hansen scored 10 points to go with a game-high nine rebounds for Patterson. Arrington had six points, 10 steals, five rebounds and four assists; junior Mele Tupouata ended with six points and six rebounds; and Job chipped in with six points, five steals and three boards.
"We worked very hard at this tournament, and it paid off," Tolleson said. "We should be happy, but never satisfied."
Patterson will continue its nonleague schedule at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, at Grace Davis High of Modesto.

When you think of a cancer center, dogs probably aren't the first thing that comes to mind. But at the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University, dogs sometimes roam the halls visiting patients and families who need a little TLC. Their job is simply just hanging out. The dogs who are part of the Happy Tails pet therapy crew are just happy to be in the oncology unit. "The thing about Happy Tails visits is the magic is in moments," said Nancy Sisson, who owns one of the dogs—Bijou—that is part of the group. "And we never know what those moments are going to be."And right out of the gate, it was clear Bijou was having a moment with Roger Daugherty. That's a sweet break from Daugherty's new normal. He spends five days a week at Winship, and has for two months straight. He's undergoing radiation treatments for brain cancer. "And it's a tough road. And to see him, and to meet him, was just like a wonderful gift," said Daugherty. Annie, who was rescued from a shelter, visited with Glenda Hodges from Madison, Ga., who recently learned the breast cancer she fought three years ago is back-- in her bones. It was the first time she's seen dogs at Winship.For an hour, the Happy Tails dogs visit with anyone who needs them-- even news reporters.Roger says being sick has taught him to be grateful for life's little gifts, like a dog.The dogs also spend time with chemotherapy patients. Happy Tails visits Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, nursing homes and lots of other hospitals. Most of the pets are dogs, but they also have cats and bunnies.

Salem — A house fire that called on resources from numerous surrounding towns quickly turned into a crime scene Tuesday night when a state police trooper shot a man who was acting "irrationally" in a field near the fire at 28 Witter Road, state police spokesman Capt. Thomas Garbedian said.
The man, who was not identified, was taken to The William W. Backus Hospital in serious condition, Garbedian said. He would not say whether the man had a weapon on him.
Detectives in the central and eastern districts of the state police Major Crime Unit, the Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit and the state fire marshal's office, are investigating the shooting and the cause and origin of the fire, Garbedian said.
Garbedian would not say whether or not the fire and the shooting were related.
The fire was reported at 6:36 p.m. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found two structures on the property — a log cabin and a barn — fully engulfed in flames. The entrance to the property was blocked by several vehicles, Garbedian said.
The shooting occurred more than an hour later.
Witter Road farm owner Saundra Woronik was traveling on Route 354 when she saw the plume of smoke rising from her street. Her first thought was of her fields.
She drove to the scene and met up with Michelle Libby, who said she rents a room at the log cabin.
Woronik said the cabin is owned by a man she knows as Bob.
Libby said Bob was at the scene of the fire, but in tears she declined to comment when asked whether she knew who had been shot.
"All of a sudden police ran up to us and told us to get in the woods," Woronik said. "We ran as far as we could."
That's when Woronik said she heard the shots fired.
Firefighters remained at the scene late Tuesday attending to hot spots. Police said Route 354 (Old Colchester Road) near Witter Road was expected to remain closed while the investigation continued.

WD VelociRaptor hard drive delivers maximum speed and reliability for performance enthusiast systems, workstations, and low-end servers. With a superbly engineered combination of 10,000 rpm spin speed, SATA 6 Gb/s interface and a 32 MB cache, this drive is truly an evolution in performance.
Product Features
I have a DELL Studio XPS 16 (1645 with intel core i7 cpu), with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preinstalled and updated to Service Pack 1, and
I recently upgraded my Western Digital HDD to a larger Solid State Crucial M500 480GB drive, (using
the crucial easy laptop install kit).
The laptop boots with the SSD drive now being the only drive installed.
I cloned the HDD, using the automatic procedure in Acronis TrueImage HD using a boot CD, however, the Windows Update in the newly
installed SSD does not function and gives the message "windows update cannot currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I previously tried all other combinations in cloning the HDD to SSD with Acronis TrueImage HD, to no avail.
The computer was checked for viruses and malware prior to the cloning procedure with Bitdefender Antivirus 2013 and is virus free.
Also, internet explorer is not downloading files from hyperlinks. It will display the option for save as, open, save but will
proceed and open the download dialog box when left-mouse-clicking on hyperlinks of files which I choose to download and will not
display the image format jpg when I right-mouse-click on an image link and choose save image as but display the options for png and
bmp only. I installed the Chrome browser which worked, the problem with internet explorer persists.
I give you a link to my windowsupdate.log file,
I consider the windows update malfunction to a be serious problem, thank you in advance for any assistance.
Ok I got it to work, but it's intermittent. I pulled the drive out, switched the type of HDD in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE. Then I re-installed the drive. This got me past BIOS. Then I go into BIOS, reset it to AHCI, and the drive works perfectly. I'm using it now to post this.
However here's the weird thing. If I shut down my machine, I have the same problem again, sometimes. Twice today I've shut down the machine and it's come back with no problem, twice it's repeated the same error I had before. That means to fix it, I have to open the laptop, remove the SSD, reset BIOS to IDE, let it boot, reset BIOS again to AHCI, then reinstall the drive and it works.
Any ideas to stabilize this now? How odd.
Hi all!
I apologize ahead of time, as I am not super techy.
About 7-8 months ago I replaced the HD and memory in my early 20078 24" iMac. All was working great, but about 2 months ago or so, it stopped booting up (white screen, folder with question mark.)
I finally got around to trying to fix it again, and got out a boot disk (Snow Leopard, as that is what I happened to have on a disk.) It starts the process of installing the OS, but when it gets to the screen that asks what disk to install the OS on, it never finds a disk. I am guessing there is some issue with the HD? Just trying to see if I can get some directional hints on how to next proceed.
HD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB SATA-600, part # ST3000DM001
Memory - 4GB kit (2GB x 2) 200-pin SODIMM, part # CT2K2G2S800M
Hi jeremy1988,
I think it is hard to tell for sure, you would probably get better feedback from people who actually use SSDs during compiling. I believe that (please correct me if I am wrong) that during compliling there is a huge count of small reads and writes and lot of seek operations, that is why it is rough on mechanical drives I guess.
The situation is different with SSDs, there is no moving parts and what wears out the drive are NAND write operations.
Modern SSD can handle hundreds of TBs of writes. Whats even better Crucial M5x0 and MX100 models use AD Average Block-Erase Count SMART attribute which is like small clock ticking to 3000 value, where in general 0 value stand for 100% health and 3000 stand for 0% health. So you can actually keep an eye on how fast your SSD is wearing out (in terms of NAND writes).
I don't know how large drive do you need but personally I like to experiment and evaluate - I would probably try to test it with one of my spare SSDs, or buy cheap MX100 128GB (that seems to be great drive by the way) that in the worst case scenario I could use in a different system
There is probably one thing you should keep in mind that could possibly (or not) affect SSD performance while using in Linux system. In general to maintain best speeds it is necessary to have TRIM working but I believe it is not a problem for modern distros and/or kernels.

text: Wussification personified right here folks. Like this is the generation that has had everything spoon fed for them their entire lives. Have always been told how awesome and special they are. Have always had everything mapped out for them their whole lives. Have no clue what it's like when things go wrong in the real world (at least that's what people who live in the real world tell me about it, place sounds awful). I mean is Minnesota kidding me here? EVERY SINGLE YEAR the winner of the axe goes to each goalpost and fake chops it down. EVERY YEAR. So now Wisconsin wins the damn thing for the 10th straight time and Minnesota's got a bunch of butthurt tough guys sitting on their end to make sure Badger players don't take part in a tradition? Wow way to stand up for yourselves guys. Hey if you don't want Bucky chopping down your goal posts I think I might have a workaround for you. Win the damn game. Pretty simply stuff. And scoring a single offensive point is a good jumpoff point as well. I pray to God the next time we win in Minnesota we bring an actual axe and actually chop down each goalpost.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig unveiled a "model business" plan this week, in efforts with party store and gas station owners, to make these businesses a cleaner and safer stop for customers in Detroit. Those business owners have their fair share of complaints, too. More than 100 gas station and party store owners attended Craig's meeting Monday night and voiced their opinions. They say they call and call police, but officers never come. Frank Dabaja owns four gas stations in Detroit and says, over the last 28 years, he's watched crime go up and police presence go down. "This is not a gas station issue. This is a Detroit issue," Dabaja tells Fox 2's Taryn Asher. But the chief's plan works to change that. Craig says he expects to see trash cleaned up and loiterers, who seem to attract crime and deter customers, cleared off the property. Craig ensures officers will follow up with the stores and issue tickets when necessary."We don't want to ticket anyone. It's not about ticketing. It's about making a safe environment for anyone. Not only citizens here, but citizens coming up from the suburb area. No one should have to go to a gas station and feel uncomfortable," DPD community liaison officer Dwight Featherstone says. Dabaja is willing to work with any official but, like the chief has made very clear, Dabaja says it's a two way street. Craig says he's simply asking these business owners to meet him half way to clean up the streets of Detroit. Craig adds he will provide extra patrols to high crime areas. "This chief is serious. He is not playing. We have to get out there and do our job, but we can't do this job alone. We need help from the citizens, the gas station owners - we all have to come together as one," Featherstone says.

New NCI Initiative to Identify Genetic Risks for Breast and Prostate Cancer
NCI has launched an initiative to identify genetic alterations that make people susceptible to prostate and breast cancer, two of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States.
The Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) program is a 3-year initiative, funded for $14 million, that will conduct scans of the entire human genome (genotyping) to identify common, inherited gene mutations that increase the risks for breast and prostate cancer. The initiative will begin with the scanning of a total of 2,500 samples from men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and men who have not. San Diego-based Illumina, Inc., will conduct the rapid genotyping for the project.
"The CGEMS initiative represents the largest, comprehensive undertaking to identify the genetic risk factors for two cancers that take the lives of a combined total of more than 70,000 men and women every year," said NCI Deputy Director for Strategic Scientific Initiatives Dr. Anna Barker. "This project promises to provide a needed database to support the development of novel strategies for the early detection and prevention of these diseases." Read more
Tough Choices, Continued Progress
Last week it was announced that the absolute number of annual cancer deaths has fallen for the first time in seven decades. The death rates from cancer have been declining since 1993, but now the actual number of cancer-related mortalities are yielding to our efforts. To my mind, that's momentous news. It proves that our antismoking messages, technologies that allow for earlier detection of disease, and improved treatments are having an impact. It also proves that our expectation of continued progress against cancer is well founded.
This news takes on special importance when considered in the context of our current budgetary situation. At last week's National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) meeting, in fact, the president's 2007 budget proposal for NCI was presented, and it sparked a critically important conversation about priorities.

"The CGEMS initiative represents the largest, comprehensive undertaking to identify the genetic risk factors for two cancers that take the lives of a combined total of more than 70,000 men and women every year," said NCI Deputy Director for Strategic Scientific Initiatives Dr. Anna Barker. "This project promises to provide a needed database to support the development of novel strategies for the early detection and prevention of these diseases."
The most common human genetic variations are called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs. Previous studies have successfully identified single gene mutations that cause cancer or are linked to other inherited diseases. These studies have provided early insights into potential mechanisms of inherited cancer susceptibility, but these mutations are rare in the general population and directly related to only a small proportion of human cancer. In fact, most human cancer risk appears to be due, at least in part, to mutations that have low penetrance, meaning that they convey a low risk for cancer, but combinations of these mutations increase risk.
One of the main goals of CGEMS is to identify genetic alterations that contribute to cancer risk, particularly the common low-penetrance, low-risk mutations. These alterations are also often referred to as susceptibility or modifier genes, since it is thought that they affect risk by increasing or decreasing a person's susceptibility to the cancer-causing effects of environmental and lifestyle exposures.
What makes CGEMS and other association studies different from candidate gene studies is that these association studies investigate the entire genome, with no assumptions about which alterations cause prostate or breast cancer. In addition, CGEMS has incorporated important follow-up studies in its design. The promising SNPs uncovered in the scan will be analyzed and validated in a series of large population-based studies. Once validated, the SNPs will be further investigated to develop new strategies for prevention, earlier detection, and treatment of these cancers.
CGEMS will be coordinated through NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), Core Genotyping Facility, and Office of Cancer Genomics. The project will draw upon the expertise of scientists both within and outside NCI, and will use the latest genetic technologies to scan the human genome by analyzing as many as 500,000 or more SNPs in each cancer case or control individual.
NCI will make CGEMS data available to the cancer research community via its cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid at http://cabig.nci.nih.gov/. For more information, go to http://cgems.cancer.gov.
Tough Choices, Continued Progress
Last week it was announced that the absolute number of annual cancer deaths has fallen for the first time in seven decades. The death rates from cancer have been declining since 1993, but now the actual number of cancer-related mortalities are yielding to our efforts. To my mind, that's momentous news. It proves that our antismoking messages, technologies that allow for earlier detection of disease, and improved treatments are having an impact. It also proves that our expectation of continued progress against cancer is well founded.
This news takes on special importance when considered in the context of our current budgetary situation. At last week's National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) meeting, in fact, the president's 2007 budget proposal for NCI was presented, and it sparked a critically important conversation about priorities.
When we announced the 2015 Challenge Goal 4 years ago, there was an expectation of increasing resources. But that expectation has changed. The government's discretionary spending now is increasingly restrained, placing greater focus on our strategic decisions about programs and research to be funded. As Dr. Niederhuber and I reinforced to the NCAB, those decisions are primarily driven by two factors.
First and foremost, funding decisions are based on the quality of the science. I cannot emphasize this enough. Whether it relates to R01s, P01s, NCI-designated Cancer Centers, or Specialized Programs of Research Excellence - scientific excellence is the principal consideration in the decision making process.
There is a second consideration that goes hand in hand with the scientific excellence of a program or a research proposal, and that is, does the science match our strategic priorities and contribute to our balanced portfolio? The programs and research projects that will help us achieve the 2015 goal must be in step with the scientific avenues identified by NCI leadership, our advisory boards, and the cancer community.
Over the past 15 months, each of NCI's divisions and centers worked to come up with almost 200 possible strategic goals, from which the NCI executive committee eventually agreed on 8 strategic priorities. It's these priorities that comprise the soon-to-be-released 2015 strategic plan, which will be instrumental in guiding our funding choices.
That said, clearly other considerations will influence the process.
There is, for example, a unanimous agreement among NCI leadership and advisory boards that we continue to strongly support young investigators. This is an imperative investment in our intellectual capital pipeline, and will create the generation of researchers who will build upon and refine the molecular oncology movement.
Also, leadership has carefully reviewed our research portfolio in an effort to limit duplication of effort and identify programs that should continue to be grown and nurtured, as well as those that have achieved all they can. Both will allow us to redeploy funds so we can quickly respond to promising opportunities or accelerate existing programs.
We also are committed to leveraging our investments by engaging in collaborations and partnerships with other NIH institutes and federal agencies, as well as with other groups in the public and private sector. The NIH Trans-Institute Angiogenesis Research Program, or TARP, which involves NCI and four other NIH institutes, is an excellent example of how we can leverage the portfolios of multiple NIH institutes to answer important biomedical questions.
The budgetary landscape has changed. We are adapting to these changes and making difficult choices. But I'm confident that the planning we have done will allow us to make the best decisions - those that will ensure we continue on a path of exponential progress and where death from cancer is the exception, not the expectation. The data now confirm we are on the course to eliminating the suffering and death due to cancer, a course we must - and will - continue.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach
Helping the Helpers: Aiding Cancer Caregivers
During any given year, an estimated 50 million people provide care for an extended period to a loved one with diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and, increasingly, cancer. In the latter case, researchers have now documented not only the extent of the duties these "informal caregivers" provide, but also the hefty emotional and physical toll it can take on them.
The role of informal caregivers in cancer care has expanded exponentially over the past decade, says Dr. Ann O'Mara, a program director in the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention. Among the chief reasons are: treatments are improving, and people with cancer are living longer; and many cancer treatments now are done in the outpatient setting, leaving problems such as side effects to be addressed at home.
"Caregivers are doing many things that were being done in a hospital 20 years ago," Dr. O'Mara says. "Things like providing wound care, administering medications, monitoring symptoms. So a lot of the responsibilities of formal caregiving have been pushed onto the informal caregiver. But along with that hasn't come the training they need to do the job."
This situation has created serious financial, physical, and emotional issues for patients and caregivers. Even the most well-intentioned, hardest working caregiver may not be in a position to ensure quality treatment. This may be especially true for those who are older and have their own chronic health problems, as well as for very young caregivers who simply are not prepared to take on that kind of responsibility.
On the latter point, for example, a study released last September by the National Alliance for Caregiving found that as many as 1.4 million youths between ages 8 and 18 were providing care to a relative; 400,000 of these were children between 8 and 11.
"We're asking the patient and their family members to be alert to symptoms that could be side effects of treatment; to monitor the frequency, intensity, and even patterns of those symptoms and complications; and to make decisions like whether to go the ER or increase pain medications," says Dr. Barbara Given, head of the Family Care Research Program at Michigan State University.
The emotional and physical strain of caregiving - which for many becomes the equivalent of a full-time job - can lead to problems such as depression, insomnia, and, as seen in one study of older caregivers, an increased mortality risk.
"There is a feeling of being overwhelmed that a lot of informal caregivers face," says Dr. O'Mara. "There is sense of loneliness and isolation."
Numerous studies have documented depression and other psychological problems among caregivers. A study of 200 cancer caregivers published last October in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, for instance, found that 13 percent met standard criteria for a psychiatric disorder.
Although NCI and several other NIH institutes are funding studies to aid caregivers in tasks such as symptom management and managing their own health, research into such interventions is still in its infancy. And researchers are just beginning to address how the quality of care provided in the home affects patient outcomes.
In the meantime, says Dr. Carolyn Messner, director of Education and Training at CancerCare, a national New York-based nonprofit organization that offers psychosocial, educational, and financial services to cancer patients and their families, there are ways to ease caregivers' burden.
"There is practical help out there," she says. "But often we have to help caregivers ask for help."
Many communities and organizations, she explains, offer services to help with tasks including grocery shopping, meal preparation, personal care, and transportation. CancerCare also provides financial assistance for things like childcare, transportation, and pain medications to patients and families. All 50 states have programs that offer assistance for long-term caregivers.
To ensure they can better understand issues such as managing symptoms, Dr. Messner advises caregivers and patients to be more proactive in communicating with their oncologists and other health care providers.
"Ask for special time to meet with the doctor," she says. "And ask permission to bring a tape recorder so you can record what is said because these are very critical discussions."
The burden for outreach, however, shouldn't all be on the caregiver and patient, stresses Dr. Michael Rabow of the University of California, San Francisco. In January 2004, Dr. Rabow and colleagues published a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association that recommended actions clinicians and their staffs can take to support caregivers, particularly in end-of-life situations.
Although oncologists and other clinicians treating cancer patients have real limitations on how much time they can spend with caregivers, Dr. Rabow says little interventions by clinicians can do a lot for caregivers' well-being and their caregiving work.
"We have some data to say that when clinicians spend just a few minutes listening to the concerns of the family caregiver, just being an empathetic listener, it decreases their risk of depression," he notes.
He also suggests that clinicians take every opportunity to support family caregivers' work and address the common feeling that they aren't doing enough or doing well enough.
"Turn to the family caregiver and say, 'I think you are very committed, and I can tell from seeing your mother or your husband that you've done an amazing job as a caregiver,'" he says. "In many cases, the caregiver will start crying, because often they live entirely in a world dedicated to that sick person."

Chemotherapy for Recurrent Gliomas
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why This Trial Is Important
In this clinical trial, researchers are testing a new drug called enzastaurin in patients whose glioma has recurred after previous radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Enzastaurin is an angiogenesis inhibitor, meaning it prevents tumors from developing the new blood vessels they need for growth. In addition, enzastaurin has been shown to have direct effects on tumor cells, inhibiting their proliferation and stimulating apoptosis (cell death). Researchers hope to determine how much enzastaurin patients can receive before developing side effects severe enough to interrupt treatment.
"In a previous trial of enzastaurin for high-grade, recurrent gliomas, we observed very dramatic tumor responses, including some complete responses," Dr. Fine said. "In addition, the drug has been very well tolerated by patients.
"Our research indicates that enzastaurin becomes more toxic to gliomas cells with higher dose, so we are conducting this trial to see how much enzastaurin patients can tolerate. We hope to set a dose that will maximize the cytotoxic potential of enzastaurin while maintaining a favorable toxicity profile in preparation for a large, multinational phase III clinical trial."

Young Receives 2006 National Public Service Award
FDA Draft Guidance on Patient-Reported Outcomes Is Available
CAM Scientist Tests Lung Cancer Herb
Chemoprevention, in this case, targets an important population that is growing in number worldwide: former smokers with precursor neoplastic lesions that have an array of gene changes and that might be treated effectively if detected early. Lung cancer entails gene changes on all 23 chromosome pairs, which demands "a multitargeted, multifunction approach to developing an effective agent, such as from a natural herbal product," says Dr. Lam.
At a 1996 chemoprevention conference in China, Dr. Lam learned of a drug already approved by the Chinese FDA, known in the West as Anti-Cancer and Preventive Herbal Agent (ACAPHA). ACAPHA actually contains 6 herbal agents, which in turn have about 10 potentially active chemical compounds. He has begun phase II-b studies on ACAPHA, following a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model designed for more rapid screening of potential agents. "With natural products, you really need to hone in on what they're doing in humans and on their safety," he said.
NIH Announces Program to Foster the Independence of New Investigators
"Encouraging independent inquiry by promising new investigators is a major goal for NIH," Dr. Zerhouni said. "We must invest in the future of our new scientists today if we expect to meet the nation's health challenges of tomorrow. New investigators who successfully cross the bridge from research dependence to research independence bring fresh ideas and innovative perspectives to the research enterprise, which are critical to sustaining our ability to push forward the frontiers of medical research."
NIH will issue between 150 and 200 awards for this program in its initial year, beginning in fall 2006. The agency expects to issue the same number of awards in each of the following 5 years. During this time, NIH will provide almost $400 million in support of the program. This award is a major piece of a larger, ongoing NIH effort to support new scientists as they transition to research independence. All NIH institutes and centers are participating in this award program.
NCI will receive $1.8 million in FY 2007 under the NIH initiative, NCI Deputy Director Dr. John Niederhuber explained at the February 7 meeting of the NCAB. The new NIH program is much like NCI's existing Howard Temin Awards, he noted. As a result, "We made sure that we could maintain support for the current 20 awards per year and that they will continue to be known for our new investigators as the Temin awards," he added.
The NIH awards will have an initial 1- to 2-year mentored phase that will allow investigators to complete their supervised research work, publish results, and search for an independent research position. The second, independent phase, years 3 through 5, will allow awardees who secure an assistant professorship, or equivalent position, to establish their own research program and successfully apply for an NIH investigator-initiated (R01) grant. The R01 is the major means by which NIH supports individual scientists in the field.
"This award program is a major step toward fostering the early independence of new investigators, a key to innovation and creativity," Dr. Zerhouni continued. "We must take action now to maintain the tremendous momentum that we've experienced in science. Talented people with new ideas are at the core of our success - we must support them all the way. Nothing is more important, especially in times of tight budgets."
The NIH program is also responsive to the major recommendations of a National Academy of Sciences report issued in 2005, "Bridges to Independence," which called for new ways to mentor and support early career scientific investigators, from conducting their postdoctoral studies to running their own research programs.

No. 10 Gonzaga (14-1, 1-0) visits Santa Clara (12-3, 1-0) Saturday at 5:00 p.m. in the Leavey Center. The game will be televised on Root Sports.
The Stats – These teams can fill it up. Gonzaga entered the week ranked 9th in the nation in scoring (81.8), while Santa Clara sat 24th (78.7). The Broncos have only failed to reach 70 points once, while doing a good deal of their damage from deep. Santa Clara averages 8.4 threes a game, good enough for 26th most in the country. A handful of teams have caught fire from deep against GU – who allows over seven makes each game – but in Thursday's win over Pepperdine the Waves only connected on two. If Mark Few's guys can keep Santa Clara's shooters in check, they should be on track for a 2-0 start in the WCC.
The Stars – The Broncos lay claim to one of those great statistical nuggets; they are the only team in the nation with three active 1,000-point scorers. Senior guard Kevin Foster is the country's 2nd leading career scorer at 1,977. He's joined by 6-foot-9-inch forward Marc Trasolini and junior guard Evan Roguemore. Foster's leads the way at 19.1 per game. His 2.9 steals leads the WCC, while he and Roguemore combine to average over 10 assists. GU fans are familiar with Foster's capabilities, following his 36-point outburst in a win over the Zags in 2011. Meanwhile, Trasolini's numbers are similar to those of Elias Harris and Kelly Olynyk at 15.7 points and 7.8 boards. Speaking of Gonzaga's posts, it should come as no surprise that those two paced GU in their win over the Waves, combining for 34 points. 'E" and Olynyk are the team's scoring leaders, both hovering over 15 a game. And you can't forget about Sam Dower, who averaged 17.5 points in two meetings with SCU last year. After facing some tough, physical, athletic frontcourts in the first two months, not a whole lot should phase them in the WCC. That said, the Broncs do boast a seven-footer in Robert Garrett that gets solid minutes and will try and get in the Bulldogs' way.
The Storylines – Foster's big game two Januarys ago marked SCU's last victory over Gonzaga. A year ago the Zags handed Santa Clara a pair of double-digit defeats. The Broncos are 9-2 at home, with their 12 total wins already surpassing last year's total of eight. Their league-opening win over San Francisco was welcome news following an 0-16 campaign last season. Kerry Keating's team appears to be much-improved. They'll find out exactly how much better they've gotten Saturday against a GU team that's taken 25 of their last 27 meetings.

Although farmers won't be planting anytime soon here in the Northern Corn and Soybean Belt, interest was still high in seeing the numbers in the USDA's March 31st planting intention report Now many analysts had anticipated that the numbers would reflect an increase in soybean acreage and the report did not disappoint. According to the USDA.....bean acreage is estimated at a record high 81.5 million acres...up 6% from last year. Compared to 2013 soybean intentions are up or unchanged across all states except Missouri and Oklahoma. As for the stocks report the USDA reports that soybean stocks are at 992 million bushels or down 1% from last year. The price estimate for beans remains unchanged with a range between $11.50 - $12.50 a bushel.
The USDA is estimating that 91.7 million acres will be planted....that is down 4% from last year. If realized, this would be the lowest planted acreage to corn since 2010. Still corn stocks are strong... up 30% from 2013 at 7.01 billion bushels. Price forecast for corn remains in a range from $4.25-$4.75 per bushel.
For wheat..the USDA is estimating 55.8 million acres to be planted...that is down 1% from last year. The 2014 winter wheat acres are reported to be down 3% , while spring wheat planted acreage is estimated to be up 4% from 2013. As for wheat stocks that number is 1.06 billion bushels...down 15%. The average price of wheat is in the range of $6.60 -$6.90 a bushel.
Again these are just estimates and a lot can change, however it does give the market an indication of what type of production year we may have. Of course for most farmers right now, their priority is not how many acres their neighbors are going to plant, but when they will be able to get out into their fields to plant their crops.

WWF Gifts to the Earth for marine zones in Mauritania, Guinea Bissau, and Senegal
Mr Delmar Blasco, Secretary General of the Convention on Wetlands, will be visiting Mauritania, Guinea Bissau, and Senegal to assist in the dedication of WWF Gifts to the Earth of the Banc d'Arguin Ramsar site and other coastal wetlands. WWF Director General Claude Martin's invitation conveys more detail.
Dear Mr Blasco,
It gives me great pleasure to inform you about three major conservation initiatives in Mauritania, Guinea Bissau and Senegal, which will help protect the biologically diverse and increasingly threatened marine resources along the West African coast.
The Government of Mauritania recently passed a new law, which is designed to protect the fisheries in the Banc d'Arguin National Park and Ramsar site, Africa's largest marine park. This law will help halt illegal fishing within the park's borders and consequently play a significant role in sustainable fisheries management. In addition, the governments of Guinea Bissau and Senegal plan to announce their commitment to creating new marine protected areas, which will safeguard valuable fisheries and endangered marine wildlife, while contributing to a network of vital marine reserves in this region.
On behalf of the three organisations closely involved with these initiatives -- the International Foundation for the Banc d'Arguin (FIBA), IUCN-the World Conservation Union, and WWF International, I would like to invite you to attend a series of events in these three countries to recognise each of their specific achievements. Ceremonies and field visits will take place between the 14th and 18th of March 2001. A more detailed programme is attached.
FIBA, IUCN and WWF will recognise these exemplary actions by Mauritania and Guinea Bissau as "Gifts to the Earth." We will also celebrate Senegal's declaration to expand their network of marine reserves and mark the beginning of a new regional approach to marine conservation.
I hope you will be able to join us. With warm regards,
Dr Claude Martin
Director General
WWF International
