The Humane Society and Detroit police are working to solve a disturbing
mystery. Someone slaughtered more than a dozen farm animals at Catherine
Ferguson Academy in Detroit. The alternative school for pregnant teens
maintains an urban farm on Selden. Now police and neighbors want to know
who would do this and why?
Fox 2's Robin Schwartz found out there was drama at the school before the crime. Click on the video player to watch her report.
It's hard to find the right words to describe what investigators found at the scene -- at least 7 chickens, 5 goats and a cat were bludgeoned or hacked to death. Two more chickens and another cat were injured but may be nursed back to health.
"One of the volunteers who comes in the morning to feed and milk the goats found them killed," said principal Asenath Andrews.
Neighbors tell Fox 2 they hear the roosters every morning. There are photos posted online about the farm program where students milk goats, sell eggs and produce and take care of the animals. The farm has received international attention and has been a source of joy for 15 years.
"Why would you kill helpless animals and how could you kill them without me hearing it," said Elaine Lovett who lives across the street. "Whoever did that planned it out and planned it well so we wouldn't hear the animals hollering."
Before all of this happened there was already plenty of drama at the school. Students have been dropping out and there was just a protest Thursday over the way the charter school is being run. Joyce Schon is an activist with the group BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) which took part in the protest. She says the group plans to file a lawsuit early next week because the school is no longer teaching students, instead forcing them to study independently. She says so many have dropped out, there are only 50 students left. She's suspicious of the timing of the farm attack.
"It's horrifying but it has the smell of the arson fire," Schon said. "When somebody wants to get rid of a building in Detroit they hire somebody to burn it down and then collect on insurance -- and that's what I'd investigate if I were looking into this now."
We tried to contact the group that runs the charter school but their voice mail was full and could not receive new messages. Counselors will be on hand when students return Monday to help them cope with what's happened.
Aggressive wasps have forced an entire neighborhood in Detroit to come to a standstill.

ChildFund sponsors can choose to sponsor a boy or girl from any of the 31 countries where the organization works. The $28 per month sponsorship contribution provides the sponsored child with what he or she needs in the way of educational and nutritional assistance, clean water, medical care and opportunities to develop and learn. ChildFund retains 20% of the monthly sponsorship for administrative handling.
Monthly contributions are combined with those of other sponsors whose children are enrolled in the same area. This enables ChildFund to serve all enrolled girls and boys, even if a sponsor has not been found for all of the children.
ChildFund states that sponsorship funds provide assistance to the child, and services often benefit siblings and community members as well. In addition to the monthly sponsorship donation, ChildFund alerts donors to their sponsored child's birthday. ChildFund explains that special monetary gift disbursements are distributed on a monthly basis and birthday and/or holiday gifts are sent to the sponsored children two months prior to the occasion. Also, gifts for children are distributed according to the donor's wishes and for the purpose designated by the donor.
According to ChildFund, when a child is enrolled for sponsorship, the project (local office) fills out an enrollment form and a family card, kept at the project level, containing basic and statistical information such as: age, health status, literacy, access to safe water, and services rendered. The enrollment form itself details the particular child's likes, hobbies, habits and personality.
ChildFund reports that the family cards are updated at least once a year to determine the community's status, identify needs, determine if goals are being met, and monitor progress from year to year. This data is collected by project staff, community workers, and parent beneficiaries, with the support of ChildFund headquarters staff.
ChildFund reports that the enrollment materials are updated every 18 months for children under the age of five and every 24 months for older children. This update includes a new photo and an updated narrative about the child. On an annual basis, a Child Progress Report is sent to each sponsor, which includes a photo of the child along with information about the child as well as his or her family and community. All sponsors also receive a donor magazine, Childworld, and can sign up for an electronic newsletter, both of which contain information about various ChildFund affiliated program work.
Sponsors can correspond with their sponsored child through letters, and receive annual updates about the child. ChildFund staff can also arrange visits to meet with sponsored children, conducted primarily through their study tour program.
ChildFund uses monitoring and evaluation tools such as The Annual Impact Monitoring and Evaluation System (AIMES) to measure the impact of the donor's assistance of each child, his or her family and the community as a whole.

Organizations shall have a board of directors that provides adequate oversight of the charity's operations and its staff. Indication of adequate oversight includes, but is not limited to, regularly scheduled appraisals of the CEO's performance, evidence of disbursement controls such as board approval of the budget, fund raising practices, establishment of a conflict of interest policy, and establishment of accounting procedures sufficient to safeguard charity finances.
The organization meets this standard.
Soliciting organizations shall have a board of directors with a minimum of five voting members.
An organization shall have a minimum of three evenly spaced meetings per year of the full governing body with a majority in attendance, with face-to-face participation. A conference call of the full board can substitute for one of the three meetings of the governing body. For all meetings, alternative modes of participation are acceptable for those with physical disabilities.
Not more than one or 10% (whichever is greater) directly or indirectly compensated person(s) serving as voting member(s) of the board. Compensated members shall not serve as the board's chair or treasurer.
No transaction(s) in which any board or staff members have material conflicting interests with the charity resulting from any relationship or business affiliation. Factors that will be considered when concluding whether or not a related party transaction constitutes a conflict of interest and if such a conflict is material, include, but are not limited to: any arm's length procedures established by the charity; the size of the transaction relative to like expenses of the charity; whether the interested party participated in the board vote on the transaction; if competitive bids were sought and whether the transaction is one-time, recurring or ongoing.
Have a board policy of assessing, no less than every two years, the organization's performance and effectiveness and of determining future actions required to achieve its mission.
Submit to the organization's governing body, for its approval, a written report that outlines the results of the aforementioned performance and effectiveness assessment and recommendations for future actions.
Spend at least 65% of its total expenses on program activities.
Spending should be no more than 35% of related contributions on fund raising. Related contributions include donations, legacies, and other gifts received as a result of fund raising efforts.
Avoid accumulating funds that could be used for current program activities. To meet this standard, the charity's unrestricted net assets available for use should not be more than three times the size of the past year's expenses or three times the size of the current year's budget, whichever is higher.
Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $500,000, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $500,000, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.
Include in the financial statements a breakdown of expenses (e.g., salaries, travel, postage, etc.) that shows what portion of these expenses was allocated to program, fund raising, and administrative activities. If the charity has more than one major program category, the schedule should provide a breakdown for each category.
Accurately report the charity's expenses, including any joint cost allocations, in its financial statements. For example, audited or unaudited statements which inaccurately claim zero fund raising expenses or otherwise understate the amount a charity spends on fund raising, and/or overstate the amount it spends on programs will not meet this standard.
Have a board-approved annual budget for its current fiscal year, outlining projected expenses for major program activities, fund raising, and administration.
Have solicitations and informational materials, distributed by any means, that are accurate, truthful and not misleading, both in whole and in part. Appeals that omit a clear description of program(s) for which contributions are sought will not meet this standard. A charity should also be able to substantiate that the timing and nature of its expenditures are in accordance with what is stated, expressed, or implied in the charity's solicitations.
Have an annual report available to all, on request, that includes: (a) the organization's mission statement, (b) a summary of the past year's program service accomplishments, (c) a roster of the officers and members of the board of directors, (d) financial information that includes (i) total income in the past fiscal year, (ii) expenses in the same program, fund raising and administrative categories as in the financial statements, and (iii) ending net assets.
Include on any charity websites that solicit contributions, the same information that is recommended for annual reports, as well as the mailing address of the charity and electronic access to its most recent IRS Form 990.
Address privacy concerns of donors by (a) providing in written appeals, at least annually, a means (e.g., such as a check off box) for both new and continuing donors to inform the charity if they do not want their name and address shared outside the organization, (b) providing a clear, prominent and easily accessible privacy policy on any of its websites that tells visitors (i) what information, if any, is being collected about them by the charity and how this information will be used, (ii) how to contact the charity to review personal information collected and request corrections, (iii) how to inform the charity (e.g., a check off box) that the visitor does not wish his/her personal information to be shared outside the organization, and (iv) what security measures the charity has in place to protect personal information.
Clearly disclose how the charity benefits from the sale of products or services (i.e., cause-related marketing) that state or imply that a charity will benefit from a consumer sale or transaction. Such promotions should disclose, at the point of solicitation: (a) the actual or anticipated portion of the purchase price that will benefit the charity (e.g., 5 cents will be contributed to abc charity for every xyz company product sold), (b) the duration of the campaign (e.g., the month of October), (c) any maximum or guaranteed minimum contribution amount (e.g., up to a maximum of $200,000).
Respond promptly to and act on complaints brought to its attention by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance and/or local Better Business Bureaus about fund raising practices, privacy policy violations and/or other issues.

Tips For Rebuilding Poor Credit
Tips For Rebuilding Poor Credit
Posted By: Tyler N.
Category: Finance
Finding yourself in debt can be a very stressful experience, and can lead to many long-lasting financial repercussions. As virtually all formal types of debt in the United States are accompanied by an interest rate, any loans that remain unpaid for long periods of time will grow and be far more difficult to address in the future. Even if the individual happens to find a way to solve their financial problems and even completely erase their debt, the record of these problems may remain in their credit history for many months and even years. In the meantime, these individuals will have a much harder time being approved for any lines of credit, and any loans they ultimately receive will likely come with higher interest rates than those offered to other borrowers without these negative marks in their credit profiles.
Consequently, rebuilding your credit history and raising your credit score should be considered your next priority after erasing your debt. The first thing to recognize is that this improving your score will take time, and while your score can plummet after only one missed credit card payment, it will take many months for any positive change or behavior to be reflected in your score. It is important to avoid making the same mistakes that could have led to the decline in your credit rating in the past as even one misstep can erase months of hard work spent on rebuilding your credit profile. In addition, you should formulate a monthly budget, and examine any and all expenditures or outstanding debt obligations that may interfere with your current credit rating. You should ensure all your monthly utility bills, mortgage or car payments are taken care, and all the payments are sent before their due dates, as late payments will appear in your credit history and decrease your score.
The best, quickest, and arguably the only way to significantly increase your credit rating, is to apply for a line of credit and show that you can efficiently manage your financial obligations. Many individuals, who may have faced difficult financial situations in the past that forced them to default on their loans and declare bankruptcy, may be wary of applying for new credit cards. However, it is important to recognize that a credit card - as long as it does not come with an annual fee or any other periodic charges regardless of use - does not translate into future outstanding debt obligation. If used properly, these financial instruments can actually save you money, as well as increase your credit score in the process. There are numerous credit card offers that now come with cashback rewards programs, offering their clients 1-5% of their money back on certain eligible purchases, while charging no annual fee for these benefits. On the other hand, individuals with very low credit scores may find themselves ineligible for these offers, and may have to apply for less generous credit cards, offered by their local banks and credit unions. Ultimately, the most important factor will be to use any received credit card responsibly and make all necessary monthly payments before their due date.

Feeling Single...
See that single fin that Matty Wilko's staring at, longingly? It's Josh Kerr's new sled, shaped by Rusty Preisendorfer. The reason Wilko's so interested, is because he's just ordered a similar design himself. Forget quads, 2011's all about the single rudder.
Today was a lay-day at the Rip Curl Pro, Bells Beach, so the boys pulled together a small crew and cruised down the coast a little, to surf a break that sits just off the side of the road. During the trip, there was very little talk of the contest, with most discussion being about board design. The whole crew had a go of Kerr's board – Wilko, Damo Hobgood, Rusty Victoria rep Finn Barry and a coupla others. According to photog Damea Dorsey, Finn was surfing the best out of anyone.

Love this little memory foam pillow. Great for the airplane and car...like you know, when you fall asleep and your head dangles into no man's land. This little bugger keeps my head in place. And it packs into a tiny little black bag that I slip into my backpack. Just went on a trip to Mexico with my sister and she had had some shoulder surgery and used it at night to prop her shoulder. GREAT product.

We needed an AFFORDABLE rectangular shaped memory foam travel pillow that included a fitted pillowcase and a travel cover. We have been traveling with this one for 3 months and feel it was definitely a great value and a wonderful travel pillow!
You can tell by the density that it is not the same as our TempurPedic brand items BUT it also doesn't carry their hefty price tag either, so if it gets lost somewhere in our travels it won't sting the wallet too much for a replacement.
These are the items included in the box:

How Old Should A Kid Be When They Get A Phone?
I didn't get a cell phone until I was 15 years old, and it was only to be used when I got to a party to call my parents and say we got there safe. (I have a late summer birthday, so all of my friends were 16 and driving at this point) If a text message would should up on the bill, I was grounded. Surveys today show that some kids get a smartphone by the time they're 5...not just any old phone, a SMARTphone! The average age is 11 and most parents spend $194 on their child's first smartphone! I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a smartphone for a young child, whether I have the money for it or not!

LANSING (WKZO) -- A lawsuit filed against the Michigan Department of Corrections alleges that inmates younger than 18 have been assaulted by older inmates. The suit has been filed by attorney Deborah LaBelle, the same attorney who won a 2009 settlement of 100-million dollars on behalf of female inmates claiming to have been sexually abused by corrections officers.
The plaintiffs in this case are seven "John Doe" prisoners who claim that while they were minors housed with adults in prison they were sexually and physically abused by the older prisoners. In seeking class action status, though, LaBelle says the suit is filed on behalf of more than 500 prisoners between the ages of 14 and 17 who have been housed with adults over the past three years.

Waverly Quilted Down Vest 15 15
Wanted to buy 2 more but... I really love this vest!!! So much that I wanted to purchase 2 more of them... but when I looked online a week after I purchased the first one, I found it it was no longer on "clearance", and is now $60 more than I paid for a week ago. I don't understand how an item can come off clearance & go back to the regular price. if it ever goes back to the price I paid for the first one I would definitely buy 2 more. It does run small all over,(I ordered XL) especially in the chest, but that is pretty common for me. (40DDD) The material is beautiful & it is so hard to find a vest with a hood. I wish more of your product came in plus sizes. "Larger" women like to travel too!! January 20, 2014
I Love this Vest The color, style, and fabric are just lovely. Some reviewers didn't care for the hood, but I have short hair and when it's cool and windy the hood is a lifesaver. Also, it tucks under nicely to form a stylish collar. I usually wear a medium, and this is a little snug but definitely wearable. I wouldn't want a larger size. The vest is so pretty and so practical, and at this clearance price, it's a terrific value! February 18, 2014
Beautiful and light I am a medium 90% of the time and this vest fits nice. It is on the longer side but I like that but sometimes the trim at the bottom sneaks up and needs to be pulled back down. I ordered the silver grey one and it's beautiful but darker than pictured. I love vests and this one is no exception. Thanks Travel Smith and please add more vests! January 29, 2014
Lightweight down vest I love the vest, however I did not like the hood. A friend who is a good seamstress took off the hood and put the binding around. The vest would be better with a flat collar or just binding. My vest did not have a down insulated hood-it was the plain material like the packing pouch. January 24, 2014
Happy daughter and wife I purchased two, one for my daughter and wife, as Christmas presents, they both loved them and my daughter lived in hers on her Paris vacation in January. Lots of pockets, adjustable waist just super. January 29, 2014
I love the vest but I wish I could remove the hood. I like that it is washable too. Have had many compliments and people want to know where I got it. January 31, 2014
Surprising Good fit very lightweight. Good as a windbreaker. Keeps one warm in the 30s. Not much help in really cold weather - ie; one digit temps. January 29, 2014
I am really pleased with this purchase. The color and fit is wonderful. January 28, 2014

Slide 1
What Is Metastasis?
When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they want to know whether their disease is local or has spread to other locations. Cancer spreads by metastasis, the ability of cancer cells to penetrate into lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and then invade and grow in normal tissues elsewhere.
In large measure, it is this ability to spread to other tissues and organs that makes cancer a potentially life-threatening disease, so there is great interest in understanding what makes metastasis possible for a cancerous tumor.
Slide 2
Metastasis Requires Angiogenesis
Cancer researchers studying the conditions necessary for cancer metastasis have discovered that one of the critical events required is the growth of a new network of blood vessels. This process of forming new blood vessels is called angiogenesis.
Slide 3
What Is Tumor Angiogenesis?
Tumor angiogenesis is the proliferation of a network of blood vessels that penetrates into cancerous growths, supplying nutrients and oxygen and removing waste products. Tumor angiogenesis actually starts with cancerous tumor cells releasing molecules that send signals to surrounding normal host tissue. This signaling activates certain genes in the host tissue that, in turn, make proteins to encourage growth of new blood vessels.
Slide 4
Normal Angiogenesis in Children
In addition to its role in tumors, angiogenesis occurs normally in the human body at specific times in development and growth. For example, a developing child in a mother's womb must create the vast network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that are found in the human body. A process called vasculogenesis creates the primary network of vascular endothelial cells that will become major blood vessels. Later on, angiogenesis remodels this network into the small new blood vessels or capillaries that complete the child's circulatory system.
Slide 5
Normal Angiogenesis in Adults
Proliferation of new blood vessels also takes place in adults, although it is a relatively infrequent event. In women, angiogenesis is active a few days each month as new blood vessels form in the lining of the uterus during the menstrual cycle. Also, angiogenesis is necessary for the repair or regeneration of tissue during wound healing.
Slide 6
Angiogenesis and Vascular Endothelial Cells
The walls of blood vessels are formed by vascular endothelial cells. These cells rarely divide, doing so only about once every 3 years on average. However, when the situation requires it, angiogenesis can stimulate them to divide.
Slide 7
Angiogenesis and Regulatory Proteins
Angiogenesis is regulated by both activator and inhibitor molecules. Normally, the inhibitors predominate, blocking growth. Should a need for new blood vessels arise, angiogenesis activators increase in number and inhibitors decrease. This prompts the growth and division of vascular endothelial cells and, ultimately, the formation of new blood vessels.
Slide 8
Angiogenesis and Cancer
Before the 1960s, cancer researchers believed that the blood supply reached tumors simply because pre-existing blood vessels dilated. But later experiments showed that angiogenesis--the growth of the new blood vessels--is necessary for cancerous tumors to keep growing and spreading.
Slide 9
Without Angiogenesis, Tumor Growth Stops
In early experiments, researchers asked whether cancer growth requires angiogenesis. Scientists removed a cancerous tumor from a laboratory animal and injected some of the cancer cells into a normal organ removed from the same strain of animal. The organ was then placed in a glass chamber and a nutrient solution was pumped into the organ to keep it alive for a week or two. Scientists found that the cancer cells grew into tiny tumors but failed to link up to the organ's blood vessels. As a result, tumor growth stopped at a diameter of about 1-2mm. Without angiogenesis, tumor growth stopped.
Slide 10
With Angiogenesis, Tumor Growth Proceeds
In another experiment designed to find out whether cancer growth can continue when angiogenesis occurs, researchers compared the behavior of cancer cells in two regions of the same organ. Both locations in the eye had nutrients available, but only one could support angiogenesis. Scientists found that the same starting injection of cancer cells grew to 1-2mm in diameter and then stopped in the region without nearby blood vessels, but grew well beyond 2 mm when placed in the area where angiogenesis was possible. With angiogenesis, tumor growth continued.
Slide 11
What Prompts Angiogenesis?
In an experiment designed to find out whether molecules from the cancer cells or from the surrounding host tissues are responsible for starting angiogenesis, scientists implanted cancer cells in a chamber bounded by a membrane with pores too small for the cells to exit. Under these conditions, angiogenesis still began in the region surrounding the implant. Small activator molecules produced by the cancer cells must have passed out of the chamber and signaled angiogenesis in the surrounding tissue.
Slide 12
Activators of Angiogenesis
Once researchers knew that cancer cells could release molecules to activate the process of angiogenesis, the challenge became to find and study these angiogenesis-stimulating molecules in animal and human tumors.
From such studies more than a dozen different proteins, as well as several smaller molecules, have been identified as "angiogenic," meaning that they are released by tumors as signals for angiogenesis. Among these molecules, two proteins appear to be the most important for sustaining tumor growth: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). VEGF and bFGF are produced by many kinds of cancer cells and by certain types of normal cells, too.
Slide 13
The Angiogenesis Signaling Cascade
VEGF and bFGF are first synthesized inside tumor cells and then secreted into the surrounding tissue. When they encounter endothelial cells, they bind to specific proteins, called receptors, sitting on the outer surface of the cells. The binding of either VEGF or bFGF to its appropriate receptor activates a series of relay proteins that transmits a signal into the nucleus of the endothelial cells. The nuclear signal ultimately prompts a group of genes to make products needed for new endothelial cell growth.
Slide 14
Endothelial Cell Activation
The activation of endothelial cells by VEGF or bFGF sets in motion a series of steps toward the creation of new blood vessels. First, the activated endothelial cells produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a special class of degradative enzymes. These enzymes are then released from the endothelial cells into the surrounding tissue. The MMPs break down the extracellular matrix--support material that fills the spaces between cells and is made of proteins and polysaccharides. Breakdown of this matrix permits the migration of endothelial cells. As they migrate into the surrounding tissues, activated endothelial cells begin to divide. Soon they organize into hollow tubes that evolve gradually into a mature network of blood vessels.
Slide 15
Inhibitors of Angiogenesis
The discovery of angiogenesis inhibitors raises the question of whether such molecules might therapeutically halt or restrain cancer's growth. Researchers have addressed this question in numerous experiments involving animals. In one striking study, mice with several different kinds of cancer were treated with injections of endostatin. After a few cycles of treatment, the initial (primary) tumor formed at the site of the injected cancer cells almost disappeared, and the animals did not develop resistance to the effects of endostatin after repeated usage.
Slide 16
Angiogenesis Inhibitors and Primary Tumors
The discovery of angiogenesis inhibitors raises the question of whether such molecules might therapeutically halt or restrain cancer's growth. Researchers have addressed this question in numerous experiments involving animals. In one striking study, mice with several different kinds of cancer were treated with injections of endostatin. After a few cycles of treatment, the initial (primary) tumor formed at the site of the injected cancer cells almost disappeared, and the animals did not develop resistance to the effects of endostatin after repeated usage.
Slide 17
Angiogenesis Inhibitors and Metastasis
The discovery that angiogenesis inhibitors such as endostatin can restrain the growth of primary tumors raises the possibility that such inhibitors might also be able to slow tumor metastasis.
To test this hypothesis, researchers injected several kinds of mouse cancer cells beneath the animals' skin and allowed the cells to grow for about two weeks. The primary tumors were then removed, and the animals checked for several weeks. Typically, mice developed about 50 visible tumors from individual cancer cells that had spread to the lungs prior to removal of the primary tumor. But mice treated with angiostatin developed an average of only 2-3 tumors in their lungs. Inhibition of angiogenesis by angiostatin had reduced the rate of spread (metastasis) by about 20-fold.
Slide 18
Angiogenesis and Tumor Dormancy
It has been known for many years that cancer cells originating in a primary tumor can spread to another organ and form tiny, microscopic tumor masses (metastases) that can remain dormant for years. A likely explanation for this tumor dormancy is that no angiogenesis occurred, so the small tumor lacked the new blood vessels needed for continued growth.
One possible reason for tumor dormancy may be that some primary tumors secrete the inhibitor angiostatin into the bloodstream, which then circulates throughout the body and inhibits blood vessel growth at other sites. This could prevent microscopic metastases from growing into visible tumors.
Slide 19
Cancer in Angiogenesis-Deficient Mice
Additional support for the idea that interfering with the process of angiogenesis can restrain tumor growth has come from genetic studies of mice. Scientists have recently created strains of mice that lack two genes, called Id1 and Id3, whose absence hinders angiogenesis. When mouse breast cancer cells are injected into such angiogenesis-deficient mutant mice, there is a small period of tumor growth, but the tumors regress completely after a few weeks, and the mice remain healthy with no signs of cancer. In contrast, normal mice injected with the same breast cancer cells die of cancer within a few weeks.
When lung cancer cells are injected into the same strain of angiogenesis-deficient mutant mice, the results are slightly different. The lung cancer cells do develop into tumors in the mutant, but the tumors grow more slowly than in normal mice and fail to spread (metastasize) to other organs. As a result, the mutant mice live much longer than normal mice injected with the same kinds of lung cancer cells.
Slide 20
Angiogenesis Inhibitors in the Treatment of Human Cancer
Researchers are now asking if inhibiting angiogenesis can slow down or prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells in humans.
To answer this question, almost two dozen angiogenesis inhibitors are currently being tested in cancer patients. The inhibitors being tested fall into several different categories, depending on their mechanism of action. Some inhibit endothelial cells directly, while others inhibit the angiogenesis signaling cascade or block the ability of endothelial cells to break down the extracellular matrix.
Slide 21
Drugs That Inhibit Angiogenesis Directly
One class of angiogenesis inhibitors being tested in cancer patients are molecules that directly inhibit the growth of endothelial cells. Included in this category is endostatin, the naturally occurring protein known to inhibit tumor growth in animals. Another drug, combretastatin A4, causes growing endothelial cells to commit suicide (apoptosis). Other drugs, which interact with a molecule called integrin, also can promote the destruction of proliferating endothelial cells.
Slide 22
Old Drug With a New Use
Another interesting drug is thalidomide, a sedative used in the 1950s that was subsequently taken off the market because it caused birth defects when taken by pregnant women. Although this drug clearly would not be suitable for pregnant women, its ability to prevent endothelial cells from forming new blood vessels might make it useful in treating non-pregnant cancer patients.
Slide 23
Drugs That Block the Angiogenesis Signaling Cascade
A second group of angiogenesis inhibitors being tested in human clinical trials are molecules that interfere with steps in the angiogenesis signaling cascade. Included in this category are anti-VEGF antibodies that block the VEGF receptor from binding growth factor. Bevacizumab (Avastin), a monoclonal antibody, is the first of these anti-VEGF antibodies to be FDA-approved. This new drug has been proven to delay tumor growth and more importantly, to extend the lives of patients. Another agent, interferon-alpha, is a naturally occurring protein that inhibits the production of bFGF and VEGF, preventing these growth factors from starting the signaling cascade.
Also, several synthetic drugs capable of interfering with endothelial cell receptors are being tested in cancer patients.
Slide 24
Drugs That Block Extracellular Matrix Breakdown
A third group of angiogenesis inhibitors are directed against one of the initial products made by growing endothelial cells, namely, the MMPs, enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of the extracellular matrix. Because breakdown of the matrix is required before endothelial cells can migrate into surrounding tissues and proliferate into new blood vessels, drugs that target MMPs also can inhibit angiogenesis.
Several synthetic and naturally occurring molecules that inhibit the activity of MMPs are currently being tested to see if interfering with this stage in the process of angiogenesis will prolong the survival of cancer patients.
Slide 25
Drugs with Other Mechanisms of Action
A miscellaneous group of drugs, whose ability to inhibit angiogenesis involves mechanisms that are either nonspecific or are not clearly understood, is also being tested in cancer patients. One example, a drug called CAI, exerts its effects by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into cells. While this inhibition of calcium uptake suppresses the growth of endothelial cells, such a general mechanism may affect many other cellular processes.
Slide 26
On to Clinical Trials
Researchers have answered many questions about angiogenesis, but many questions still remain. Scientists do not know whether using angiogenesis inhibitors to treat cancer will trigger unknown side effects, how long treatment will need to last, or whether tumor cells will find alternative routes to vascularization. To answer such questions, human clinical trials are currently under way.

SQL Server in-memory capabilities built-in across all workloads offer on average 10x and up to 30x transactional performance gains and up to and over 100x query performance gains.
The worldwide data explosion is creating new challenges, and new opportunities for enterprises seeking to transform their business to better respond to ever changing market conditions. Businesses need better performance from their transactional applications to respond to customer demand in real time, not at the end of the day when the batch process completes. If they can't meet the needs of their customers in real-time, they will lose to the competition. For example, customers that sell products online, are now looking to implement dynamic pricing so they can always offer their customers a competitive price.
In SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft shipped in-memory technology for BI and analytics on the server and in Excel with Power Pivot. In SQL 2012, an in-memory columnstore for data warehousing was added that improved query performance by up to 100x. These solutions helped customers get insights from their data much faster, and helped their employees make better decisions. With SQL Server 2014, the in-memory columnstore became updatable, and a new in-memory OLTP engine was shipped that delivers truly breakthrough transactional performance increases of, on average, 10x, and up to 30x.
SQL Server 2014's in-memory OLTP technology delivers blistering performance for mission-critical applications while minimizing additional cost by only requiring the hot tables of the database to be put in memory vs. the entire database, like other solutions on the market. When these hot tables are memory optimized, they automatically transform into a new data structure that eliminates locking and latching, further increasing performance. SQL Server 2014 will also identify which stored procedures can be recompiled to further improve throughput. All this is built directly into SQL Server 2014, so there is no need to buy specialized hardware, expensive add-ons or learn new skills to achieve breakthrough performance.

Cardiologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or conditions of the heart and blood vessels, such as chest pain (angina), irregular heart rhythms, high blood pressure, heart failure, or heart attacks.
Cardiologists administer tests that show how well a person's heart is working, such as a treadmill test (exercise electrocardiogram), and perform procedures such as cardiac catheterization and angioplasty. They can further specialize in interventional cardiology (the use of mechanical treatment methods, such as angioplasty) or electrophysiology (treatments involving the heart's electrical system) and may also specialize in treating specific age groups, such as a pediatric cardiologist, who only treats children.
Cardiologists can be board-certified through the Board of Internal Medicine, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Pediatric cardiologists are recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

D I S C L A I M E R!!!!!!!!!! This is a general disclaimer for any number of videos. The video that this disclaimer is attached too is meant to (a) deceive and (b) confuse you the watcher. It is advisable to ignore this video all together, however viewing of it can be safely performed if done so with a humorous attitude. Here are the facts, which will dispel any information presented within the attached video: 1) Jesus Christ was a real person, and dozens of accounts (including those of various Romans, Egyptians, & Greeks that confirm this fact). http://www.westarkchurchofchrist.org/library/extrabiblical.htm (2) Jesus Christ completely fulfilled all the major 48 prophesies that were foretold no less than 300 years before his arrival about his birth (the place & time), manner of death (people's reactions, piercing of side, & burial), and resurrection. By using the modern science of probability in reference to just eight of these prophecies, the chance that any man might have lived to fulfill all eight prophecies is one in 100 trillion! Jesus WAS God incarnate. http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824-How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Je... (3) The Bible is the written word of God. God impressed His message upon the hearts of those who composed the 64 books of the True Bible. The Coptic texts and Apocrypha are likely not of God, but rather made to confuse the minds of those who know no better. The Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrated that there was no historic deviation from the reproduction of the word of God. The significance of the scrolls relates in a large part to the field of textual criticism and how accurately the Bible has been transcribed over time. Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible were Masoretic texts dating to 10th century CE such as the Aleppo Codex. The biblical manuscripts found among the Dead Sea Scrolls push that date back a millennium to the 2nd century BCE. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=387754 (4) The world is only 6000 years old, and created as Genesis describes. Mainstream science generally disregards or completely hides the evidence to support this, however many independent research groups have made it there mission to demonstrate the evidence for Young Earth Creationism. http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMonkipuzzle?feature=mhee#g/c/3F513411703FAADB (5) The is no reincarnation. This is the only life you get, the only chance you have. Don't let New Agers convince you that life is like a video game, with endless chances to learn new lessons and fix past transgressions. This is it. Past this life is the infinite of Heaven and Hell. Which one you check into eventually is up to you. True immortality can only be achieved through the sincere acceptance of Jesus Christ and His teachings. http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-r009.html (6) Evolution is a lie. Just as a watch requires a watch maker, so to life requires a Creator. There are masses of biological evidence to demonstrate that evolution is a lie, perpetuated by those who (a) either don't know any better, (b) take for granted it Is a reality, or (c) intentionally teach it to deceive those who might otherwise believe in the Word of God. http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMonkipuzzle?feature=mhsn#p/c/4AB728512469F... (7) Aliens are likely demonic. There is no direct portion of the Bible that states as much, but the Bible is clear that Satan will use whatever he can to deceive the world. While the vast majority of UFO and alien encounters are either mistaken identity or fraud, the fact that this phenomenon is real is undeniable. There messages, indeed their very existence, are meant to deceive the masses, and sadly its working. Abductees have made claims that there are smells associated with the ETs, including that of burning materials and rotten eggs; fire and brimstone. Additionally, there are accounts of ETs fleeing at the name Jesus Christ or God. Why would ETs have any kind of reaction to the True God of this world? The Bible tells us that demonic entities have just such a reaction. http://www.creationists.org/biblical-perspective-of-ufos-and-aliens.html... (8) New Age beliefs are not only silly, but dangerous. Satan will do anything to make man question the authority, indeed the existence, of God. The New Age movement is just the latest weapon in his arsenal. With Reincarnation, Psychics, Metaphysics, the Galactic Federation, and Indigo Children, the deception is growing everyday. Don't be deceived. We are living in the End times, as the fulfillment of dozens of prophesies will attest. Be saved. http://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/recognize-the-danger-of-th... Thank you for reading this disclaimer. It will be periodically posted to ensure that everyone has ample opportunity to understand the fallacies of the video to which this disclaimer has been attached. Please message me if you have any questions about the Bible, Jesus, God, or any of the other topics listed here and I'd be happy to discuss it with you. If you are already a Christian, don't let this video lure you into a pagan lifestyle. If you are not yet a Christian, please consider what I said carefully, and investigate it yourself. There is but one way to God, and that's through Jesus Christ. This disclaimer is not being judgmental; it is only stating the facts about our existence here. I'll be praying for you in the meantime.

Possession & demonic influence. Reincarnation is not real. The only forms of immortality is (a) that in Heaven which is given by accepting Christ as one's personal savior & God, and (b) that in Hell, whereby one will suffer for eternity for rejecting Christ's eternal salvation. Accept Christ and be saved, otherwise you'll get to experience the second type of immortality firsthand... John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

When the forces of Tyler Perry and Kim Kardashian combine, the resultant magnitude reaches proportions beyond epic things get biblical. And none of that merciful stuff from the sequel, we're talking hard core Old Testament-style. Below is the first poster for Perry's upcoming movie Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, which stars Kardashian in a story about a marriage counselor's illicit affair with one of her patients. Drawing on the most infamous implication of the title, the poster (released by Kardashian herself on Instagram), depicting an image reminiscent of the Judeo-Christian allegory of Adam and Eve, the snake, and the apple in the Garden of Eden. Clearly, Perry isn't downplaying the ""forbidden love"" angle in this upcoming movie. Check out the poster below, and catch the lengthily named film in theaters March 29, 2013.

A man experiencing a mental health emergency bit off a portion of a Minneapolis police officer's finger on Tuesday evening, according to court documents filed on Wednesday.
Four officers responded to perform a welfare check in the 2400 block of 10th Avenue South at about 5:45 p.m. after a resident reported his roommate was having an emotional breakdown.
The caller told dispatch the man was destroying items and other residents were concerned for their safety.
Once officers arrived, two were immediately attacked by 54-year-old James Dawkins, who allegedly tried to disarm one officer as they tried to physically subdue him while he continued to kick and punch at them.
During that struggle, Dawkins bit down on the gloved, left index finger of Officer Chad Meyer. Although the officer screamed in pain, Dawkins continued to bite down until he severed the officer's finger at the first knuckle, according to the criminal complaint.
Police deployed a Taser in an attempt to subdue Dawkins, but it did not work. Eventually, they were able to physically overcome him and place him under arrest.
According to the charging documents, the portion of Meyer's finger was found inside his glove. Although it was preserved for possible reattachment, it was later determined that surgery would not be an option.
A release from the Minneapolis Police Department says officers were dispatched to a number of similar calls at Dawkins' address within the past year. Police say Dawkins was openly hostile during many of those previous incidents, and officers have needed to physically subdue him before.
In December 2009, Dawkins was charged in Dakota County for a similar incident after he disarmed a peace officer while physically assaulting St. Paul officers and resisting arrest.
Officers responded after residents in a St. Paul home reported Dawkins had destroyed several doors and a fan for no apparent reason. Responding officers found Dawkins attempting to burn his hand with two lighters and deployed a Taser when he did not comply with their commands. Charging documents explain that Dawkins then tore off his shirt, began kicking and punching police before taking the Taser.
Dawkins pled guilty in that case.
After Dawkins was arrested on Tuesday, he was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for treatment of his medical condition. He was released from HCMC Tuesday night and booked at Hennepin County Jail. He remains in custody.
On Wednesday, Dawkins was charged with felony first-degree assault, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a $30,000 fine.
Officer Chad Meyer has been with the Minneapolis Police Department since January 2008 and previously served with the Chisago County Sheriff's Office. He is permanently assigned to the Third Precinct and works the overnight shift regularly.
Meyer was awarded a Medal of Valor and Medal of Commendation in 2009 for his help in subduing armed suspects in Minneapolis. He was also nominated Officer of the Year in his precinct in that year.

The bad news came in broad daylight that 45-year-old Deon Taylor of Detroit was dead inside a building.
"He was a very loving, strong man," said daughter Deleesha Taylor.
"His children are devastated. His grandchildren are devastated, and all I can say is we're trying to deal with this. It's hard," said sister-in-law Ramona Harper.
"I don't know what's going to happen now. He had 24 kids," said sister Jacqueline Taylor.
24 children are waiting to find out who or what took their father from them far too soon. Deon's cause of death is currently a mystery.
"I'm going to miss him a lot, and I know that he's in a better place. It just sucks that he can't be here with us," Deleesha said.
"My father meant the world to me. There's not a person in this world that didn't like my dad. He got along with everybody. That's why I don't understand how this could happen," said son Dwane Taylor.
That is what DPD is trying to determine. Homicide was called out because how Deon took his last breath was not obvious or clear. Cops crowded the corner of Colfax and Warren in Detroit Monday searching for evidence and any possible clues.
Sources said Deon was last seen inside the building around midnight. Although there is no signage outside, there are often signs of life inside. We learned the building is frequently used as a night club or party spot. Family and friends said Deon was last seen there getting ready to celebrate the success of one of his sons.
"Getting the place ready for his son's graduation party, which his open house was supposed to be this weekend," Harper said.
When no one had seen or heard from Deon, they had a feeling something was wrong, and sadly they were right.
"I know deep down in my heart he served his purpose here on earth," Deleesha Taylor said.
We learned Deon was found by his brother.
Meanwhile, police will determine how their investigation should proceed after they receive the medical examiner's report.
