Duodenal Cancer – Symptoms, Prognosis, Survival Rate and Treatment
What is Duodenal Cancer?
Duodenal cancer is a malignancy in the duodenum, the initial part of the small intestine. This type of cancer is very rare and considered the rarest among the cancers in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, accounting for only 1% of the cases of GI malignancies.
Duodenal cancers take the form of adenocarcinoma, which constitutes 50% of the malignancies in the small intestines.
The duodenum is the area where food mixes with bile from the gall bladder and enzymes from the pancreas. The most common sites of malignancies in the duodenum include the periampullary and the ampullary portions of the duodenum.
Duodenal Cancer Location is at Duodenum Region
Signs and Symptoms
When the cancer cells grow, they block the passage of food from the stomach into the intestines, preventing food from being absorbed.
- Cramping pain on the abdomen
- Acid reflux
- Nausea and vomiting
- Mass in the abdomen
- Involuntary weight loss
- Blood in the stool because of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding
Almost all cases of duodenal cancer are diagnosed at a late stage because these symptoms usually appear only after the disease has been present for some time.
Causes and Risk Factors
- Exposure to carcinogens in the form of viruses, radiation and chemicals.
- Poor diets containing high amounts of fat.
- Smoking.
- Gastrointestinal conditions including Celiac disease, familial adenomatous polyposis, juvenile polyposis syndrome, Lynche syndrome, Gardner syndrome, Crohn's disease, and Puetz-Jeghers disease.
Stages of Duodenal Cancer
Stage 0- Carcinoma in situ
This involves the presence of cancer cells n the duodenal mucosa. It is a localized malignancy where the cells are contained only within the walls of the organ.
Stage I -Growth in the Duodenum
- Stage IA. Stage one involves the duodenum without serosal penetration and ascites.
- Stage IB. This stage involves the spread of the malignant cells in the subcutaneous fat and muscularis.
- Stage IC. This involves spread to the serosal area and the presence of ascites. Ascites are the accumulation of fluids in the peritoneal cavity as a result of an obstruction in circulation.
Stage II- Localized spread
The adjacent tissues, muscles, ligaments, fats and lymph nodes are now affected.
Stage III- Regional spread
Stage III of duodenal cancer involves spread to the adjacent organs such as the ileum, jejunum, colon, stomach and other abdominal structures.
- Stage IIIA. There are gross malignancies in the abdomen with microscopic seeding on abdominal structures.
- Stage IIIB. There are gross malignancies in the abdomen with less than 2 cm abdominal implants on abdominal structures. There inguinal or retroperitoneal nodes are not yet affected.
- Stage IIIC. There are gross malignancies in the abdomen with more than 2 cm abdominal implants on abdominal structures. The inguinal or retroperitoneal nodes are already affected.
Stage IV- Distant Metastases
There is widespread malignancy in the abdominal cavity with metastases to distant organs such as the lungs, liver, pancreas, bone and others. In this stage, the prognosis is usually poor because of extensive damage.
The diagnosis of duodenal cancer involves the following:
- Barium Swallow or Upper Gastrointestinal series. This procedure involves the ingestion of barium along with X-rays to determine any obstructions in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
- Imaging Tests. A CT-scan or MRI may be done to visualize the abdominal structures. Tumors are easily seen through these tests. An ultrasound may also be done, but is less definitive than theCT-scan and MRI.
- Endoscopy. This involves the insertion of a thin tube with a small camera from the mouth going to the duodenum. Endoscopy needs the administration of local anesthetics on the throat to eliminate the gag reflex. Through the endoscopy the physician is able to see the inside of the duodenum.
- Biopsy. A biopsy is the definitive diagnostic test to determine if a tumor is cancerous or benign. This test is not able to detect the stage of the malignancy. Surgery is usually done to remove the cancerous cells and to determine the stage of the disease, which will dictate any additional treatments.
Treatment for duodenal cancer is similar to other types of cancer and includes:
Resection is commonly employed for duodenal cancer, but tumors in this area are usually difficult to remove because of the huge blood vessel network present.
Another type of surgery that can be done is a Whipple procedure. This involves the removal of the duodenum, gall bladder, and the head of the pancreas. The resulting part of the small intestine is connected to the pylorus of the stomach and the bile duct and pancreatic duct are connected to the area below the pylorus.
Because a portion of the pancreas is removed, patients will be required take pancreatic enzymes.
Chemotherapy serves as an adjunct to surgery to completely eradicate the malignant cells. It is a systematic approach which reaches all areas in the body through the circulation. Chemotherapy is carefully administered to reduce side-effects and myelosuppression. Side-effects of chemotherapy include anorexia, hair loss (temporary), nausea and vomiting, fatigue, mouth sores, and increase in risk of infection.
Radiation therapy is sometimes employed although it may not be very beneficial for cancer of the small intestine. The mechanism involves exposure of the area to high-energy radiation to kill the cancer cells or shrink the tumor size. Radiation therapy can be administered internally or externally. Side-effects of radiation therapy include anorexia, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, bloating and gas pains.
Alternative Therapies
Alternative medications that can be used to manage duodenal cancer include things such as garlic, ginseng, Echinacea and ginger. Studies in animals have proven that these herbal remedies reduce the size of tumors, but further tests must be made among humans before these findings are considered conclusive.
The prognosis of duodenal cancer depends on the progress of the malignancy. It is unfortunate, but duodenal cancer has a poorer prognosis than jejunum cancer or ileal cancer because tumors in the duodenum are usually much more difficult to remove.
According to studies, surgery has been the most effective way to manage intestinal cancers. Chemotherapy and radiation are less promising than surgical removal of the tumor. Older patients (above 75 years old) also have a poorer prognosis and lower survival rate than the younger population.
Survival Rate
The survival rate for Duodenal Cancer decreases as the stage of the disease advances. Localized malignancies have almost 50% survival rate, regional malignancies have 30% survival rate, and distant metastases have 5% survival rate. It is indeed essential to detect cancer early and employ various types of management immediately in order to increase the survival rate.

my older sister has just been digose with this sort of cancer they were unable to operate we would appericate some advice on how we can help my sister at this time regards carmelita bierton
hi, so my mom diagnosed with this cancer a few weeks ago but she did have the whipple procedure done. All I can tell you is just be there for your sister, let her now that you are supporting her in every way possible. And if you are religious, pray, a lot. That's what we did for my mom and now my mom is doing a lot better. I wish your sister the best because I know what she is going through.
Duodenalcancer.com Yahoo groups Duodenalcancer. There is a network that you can talk to.
I am 52 and diagnosed Aug 2012. Glad to converse with you.
My husband was just diagnosed with Duodenal cancer today and have a scheduled Whipple surgery on Friday 1/11.The doctors does not know yet thye cancer stage not until they operate. Can you tell me more about this type of cancer.
I hope your husband is doing well. We are facing the same thing. Surgery in two weeks. Husband only out of hospital four week from surgery in Jan. So weak.please comment as I really want know if everything is OK for you.
I hope you are well. My husband has this also and is having 7+ hour survey in 2 weeks. I will keep you also in my prayers. I am scared and so is he. How are you now.6
Hope you are doing well. Prayers are with you.
My friend is diagnosed with duodenal cancer and he is only 40 years old. He was advised to undergo Whipple surgery, but he has been too skeptical about getting some of his organs out. Aside from the possible intake of pancreatic enzymes, what other effects will the patient feel after undergoing such surgery? And what will be the remedy. Thank you for your correspondence. It will mean a lot to me coz I need to help my friend.
Mother Tinctue of Ornithogalum 10 drops morning and night ad infinitum.
Anyone advice or comments about duodenal cancer please reply.
Therre are hugely varying results youu will get from these treatments, some with horresndous
side-affects, others wih none. Mostt patients with bladder cancer first present with unexplained hematuria (blood in
the urine). If the plaque iis not removed frequently it becomes harder andd formss calcculus or tartar. -
In January 2012 I had a central pancreactomy due to a neuroendocrine tumor. I just found out that I now have a tumor in my duodenum. They are going to schedule me for an endoscopy and I am very nervous. I have been on pancreatic enzymes for 22 months.
Its not my first time to go to see this website, i am visiting
this website dailly aand get nice infrmation rom here all the time. -
My cousin was diagnosed Sept. 11, 2014 after they made an attempt to do the Whipple surgery. They could not do the surgery to remove the turmor due to the cancer they found and told us that she was in Stage 4. They put a pic line in and will she will start chemo in three weeks. What should we expect and how can we help her??

4.5 Not Bad For The Money But..... UkJimbob | 13/03/2009 | See all UkJimbob's reviews (2) For the small price, these Wii remotes are ideal for easy games. But if your wanting to use these for more advanced games then beware...I've been playing Tiger Woods and compared to the Original Wii controllers these cheaper versions are not as responsive...Early shots taken and hardly no movement registering untill your swing is nearly behind your head..But all in all these are good for everything else...You'll pay for the price lol. The size of the unit is exactley the same as the Original, so all the covers and what not, fit perfectly......Oh and another thing...the "super heavy duty" batteries which are supplied with this lasted 3 hours lol...
4.5 ok for money beardywhu | 17/02/2009 | See all beardywhu's reviews (1) Ok remote for a spare when you have friends or family round, but wouldn't buy it for a main remote, stick to the genuine one, they are much lighter and plastic is cheaper but good value i suppose?
4.5 The kids can't tell them from the originals! madtam | 06/01/2009 | See all madtam's reviews (10) OK, I got three of these, one in Black, one in Blue and a Pink one. So all three kids got their own controller (yes one is a girl and it might be stereotyping but she is happier with the Pink than a plain White one apparently) and they know which is their own so it avoids some arguments. As far as I can tell they work just as well as the originals and whilst they have a slightly cheaper feel to the plastic we are talking about a game controller not an expensive fashion item.They possibly get through batteries slightly quicker than the originals although that is probably because the kids use them more. However, I have a stack of AA rechargeables these days so there is not a problem.At a considerable discount over the official controller and with no apperent drawbacks why wouldn't you get one? and the choice of colours is a bonus.
4.5 Excellent controller Red642 | 02/01/2009 | See all Red642's reviews (2) Very good value for money, works as good as the wii original.Going to buy Numchuck to go with it!!
4.5 Great for GH World Tour okhawk | 27/12/2008 | See all okhawk's reviews (2) The black controller looks so much better than white in the guitar. I got mine just before Xmas, now there out of stock!!!
4.5 excellent piece of equipment Nintendofan | 24/12/2008 | See all Nintendofan's reviews (1) very pleased with the equipment and excellant delivery time thank you
4.5 Value for your money! Nikoli | 01/12/2008 | See all Nikoli's reviews (1) I brought two of these controls and having read reviews on other website i was concerned they would not work together (as some people have said they work on the same frequency). I tried them out with my two offical controls and they worked fine! Obviously for the price the quality is not as good and they are lighter and more plasticy then the officials, but they work and thats the important thing.The only real let down with them is the speakers are not so good, sometimes not much sound and crackles quite a bit.Overall considering they are over £10 cheaper then the officials i think they do a perfect job as additional controls for friends and family!
4.5 First impressions Hampy4 | 25/11/2008 | See all Hampy4's reviews (2) Not as solid as the Nintendo originals, but at half the price what do you expect, function exactly the same and also accept the rechargable battery packs that we have which is bonus too. A cheap way to get the whole family playing.

Changing Heater Core on 96-98 Mustang
This is my personal experience only. Your may differant from vehicle to vehicle. This is just a generalization of changing the heater core on the 96-98 mustang gt. I would think the 94,95 & 99-04 would be very similar if not the same. I have included picture for the areas I think deserve the most attention. Any process of the removal not pictured should be pretty simple and easy to figure out on your own. You WILL have to evacuate the Air Conditioning system.
Here is a list of tools I used. Small cordless drill w/ 1/4 socket adapter. Deep and shallow set of 1/4 inch metric sockets. Flathead screw drive and Pry bar 1/4 inch swivel and extensions Hose clamp pliers AC line and or fuel line disconnect tools (2 differant sizes) 2 Gallons of Antifreeze/Coolant (Green) 1 New Heater core. 1. Evacuate the air conditioning system. 2. Remove negative battery post. 3. Start off by removing the shifter knob,boot and bezel and shifter handle. I suggest that you even remove the shifter if possible. This will give you more room to move the dash towards the seats. 4. Remove the bezel that surrounds the stereo, hvac controls and center vent registers. No need to remove the stereo or cd player from this bezel, just unplug all the connectors from the back of them. 5. Remove the center console. There are 2 bolts inside the console that hold it to the floor boards, and then there are 2 where you removed the shifter bezel that screws the console to the dash. For ease of removal and installation I suggest to put the E-brake in its highest postion you can get it this will ease getting the ebrake boot off. 6. Remove the plastic piece of the dash located just below the steering wheel, it has 2 8mm bolts at the bottom and gently pry it off from its retaining tabs on the upper section. Behind this is another metal piece it has a few 8mm bolts holding it in also. Remove it. 7. Remove the door sill plates and the kick panels from both passenger and driver's side of the car. These pretty much pop out. 8. On the passenger side you have a few wire connectors that need disconnected. Including the blower motor. Here is a picture of the passenger side. Drivers side is similar although there is one connector that has a 10mm bolt holding it together, just unscrew that bolt. 9. Working under the steering column. Located on the left of the column there is your ignition switch harness, it has a 7mm bolt that holds it in. Remove harness. Located on the right side of the steering column there are 3 wire connectors secured to a piece of metal. Unplug all 3. Then look towards the firewall and up on the trans tunnel. You see the blue box? (Located behind the carpet pull carpet down out of the way) That is your airbag module, there are 2 connectors going into it. Disconnect those and remove both of the green 8mm bolts. 10. After you have the carpet pulled down from around the trans tunnel, you will see on the drivers side 2 green 8mm bolts which you should have removed in the previous step. Look just right of those and see the 3 gold colored 8mm bolts with huge washers on them. Remove those also. This step is the same on the passenger side except there is only 1 green 8mm bolt and the gold bolts are located to the left of the green bolt (towards the rear of the car). 11.Working in the drivers floor board. look under the steering column and find the 4 nuts that hold it up. Remove the 4 nuts. I believe they are 13mm. (13mm deepwell socket is handy here with an extension) Let the steering column down easily. When you have it down enough that you can see the top of the column, you will notice a wire connector there, disconnect it. 12. Working in the passenger side floor board. Look where you disconnected those wiring plugs. There is an 8mm bolt take that out. Then let your glove box down where you can see behind it. Look just above where you took the 8mm bolt out, but behind the dash hidden. There is another 8mm bolt. Remove it also. Here is a pic of the lower 8mm bolt. You will see the hidden one once you pull the glove box down. 13. Working in the drivers floor board. On this side your gonna pretty much do what you just done on the passenger side with a few exceptions. The lower bolt has a 15mm nut on it, remove it. and Look above that one hidden behind the dash, there is another 8mm bolt. Remove it. You might need a 6 inch 1/4 inch extension for this one. 14.Working under the hood on the passenger side. Place drain pan under car where your going to disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core. Disconnect heater hoses. (Replace hose clamps with new ones when reinstalling). Using your fuel line/AC disconnect tools disconnect the evaporator core lines, and the line on the dryer (3 connections total) Here is a picture of the area your working in afterwards. 15. Remove this vaccum line. 16. Notice the bracket that the dryer is in. There is a 10mm nut on the front of the bracket, remove that nut and the remove the dryer and set it aside. Now you can see there are 2 10mm nuts holding that bracket to the firewall, remove these and set bracket aside. Where you removed the bracket you should see 2 studs sticking out of the firewall still. Remove the one on the left. Then using an 11mm socket remove the nut on the stud located to the right and under the heater core hoses. This stud will not come out it is part of the evaporator core box. Just remove the 11mm nut as shown. 17. Working inside vehicle. Using a prybar or flat head screw driver pry the defrost vent register out of place. You will see 3 8mm bolts located where you removed the register. Remove these bolts. Your dash should now be fully unbolted. 18. Using a friend. Both persons located on each side of the dash. Lift the dash upwards and pull it back in sorta a rolling motion. Setting it as far back as possible on the seats. Mainly on the passenger side since this is where you will be spending the rest of your time. Becareful not to pull anywires or vaccum hoses. Your dash should now look like this. 19. Disconnect this vaccum connection. To keep from tearing it up and give you alittle more room to work behind the dash. 20. There you have finally gotten to that damn box that holds your leaking heater core! Now you have to either get it out or back off the firewall enough to get the heater core out. 21. No you see 2 rusty brackets that hold the evaporator/heatercore box to the firewall from the inside. These are held on by 10mm bolts. Remove these. 22. Now work the box back off the firewall as far as possible. I couldnt get mine back but about 4 or 5 inches on the passenger side. For some reason I couldnt get the driverside to move back much at all. 23. See in the picture the 2 screws that are highlighted. 2-10mm Bolts. Remove these. 24. Now that you have those 2 bolts out use a pry bar and pry up on the plastic cover that you just unbolted until you can reach in and pull the heater core out. If you dont have enough room. Work the evaorator core box back of the firewall alittle further. .Replace with new heater core! Installation is reverse of removal!!! Refill with proper ammount of coolant and water mixture, and recharge AC system. Good Luck and be patient its not that bad.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I was really dreading doing the heatercore. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be though. Had it all tore apart in about 2 hours last night, then got the AC removal tools out this morning at 8:30 and had the majority of it back in by 10:30. I flushed the overflow/fill tank and bypassed the new heater core, and flushed the system out with water a few times before I connected it back to the new heater core. That way I could keep all that crap out of the new core.

Hope people read Parks information about mountain lions. Very informative. Indigenous people know that animals were here before people. It was the animals who taught us how to live. We need to respect and protect our animal brothers. We also need to be very patient with them.

Is it OK for non-residents to approach a mountain lion or go near a mountain lion cub? Jest wunderin'?

Sure, go ahead. Let usknow how that works out for you.

Everyone should indubitably understand is that these perdators eat people once the deer population are exhausted. Male deer used to be harvested each Autumn. But land trusts and other circumstances have limited their harvest and increased deer population and its respective predators. Since the deer are exhausting the carrying capacity of their habitat, they are coming into neighborhoods and being followed by their predators. The 'patient' mountain lions will eat anything, including humans to feed its cute young. Either dominate the species or become its victim. Romanticism can also be naive. Oh brother...indeed.

Facebook Decrees Breastfeeding Pictures Indecent
You don't just have to worry about posting pictures that could get you fired on Facebook, but you also have to worry about violating their terms against posting obscene photos — which apparently includes those of breastfeeding mothers.
That's the situation Facebook member Heather Farley found herself in when Facebook took down photos of her breastfeeding her new baby. Their big beef? The areola was visible.
Facebook's spokesman claims that the site doesn't find the pictures obscene, but they're just trying to keep everyone safe: "The company insists it is not about obscenity, but more about safety. The policies are to ensure the site remains safe, secure and trusted by its users, who also include teenagers."
Oh, I see. Because areolas endanger teens. Wait, what? See, I think it's up to Facebook about what they want to do with their site, but I wish they would have clarified their reasoning more clearly. Also, since the users profile photos are meant for the friends they added, why would Facebook even care?
To hear what Farley and others are doing to fight back against Facebook, read more.
In any case, Farley and thousands others have started a Facebook group, "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!".
This reminds me a lot of the Photobucket incident earlier this year where they removed pictures of babies in diapers, for which they eventually admitted their mistake. Will Facebook do the same?

First-order optical systems with unimodular eigenvalues
JOSA A, Vol. 23, Issue 8, pp. 1875-1883 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (139 KB)
It is shown that a lossless first-order optical system whose real symplectic ray transformation matrix can be diagonalized and has only unimodular eigenvalues is similar to a separable fractional Fourier transformer in the sense that the ray transformation matrices of the unimodular system and the separable fractional Fourier transformer are related by means of a similarity transformation. Moreover, it is shown that the system that performs this similarity transformation is itself a lossless first-order optical system. Based on the fact that Hermite–Gauss functions are the eigenfunctions of a fractional Fourier transformer, the eigenfunctions of a unimodular first-order optical system can be formulated and belong to the recently introduced class of orthonormal Hermite–Gaussian-type modes. Two decompositions of a unimodular first-order optical system are considered, and one of them is used to derive an easy optical realization in more detail.

PHOENIX — A 31-year-old father whose infant son died after being left in a parked car in the Phoenix summertime heat was smoking marijuana next to the car with a co-worker part of the time, police said.
Daniel Bryant Gray, 31, was booked into a Maricopa County jail late Thursday, charged with manslaughter and child abuse, Sgt. Tommy Thompson said.
Police earlier said 3-month-old Jamison Dean Gray died after his father went on Wednesday, his day off, to check on business at a northeast Phoenix sports bar and restaurant where he worked as a kitchen manager.
A firefighter in a waterproof suit crossed a partially frozen Arizona lake to help rescue two teenagers who spent at least two frigid hours hanging onto a dead tree after ice began to crack, authorities said Thursday.
A third teen who had stayed on the snow-covered bank of Fool Hollow Lake near Show Low called for help Wednesday while the other two clung to the tree, authorities said.
Emergency personnel retrieved the boys after firefighter Jack Gessner made his way across the lake with a rope attached to a boat carrying other rescuers.
PHOENIX — A federal appeals court on Wednesday temporarily prohibited Arizona from enforcing its new ban on most abortions starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its order two days after a trial judge ruled that the ban could take effect Thursday as scheduled.
PHOENIX — A bill that would let more Arizona employers drop coverage for birth control drugs stalled Monday in the state Senate because of increasing opposition from women who feared they would have to reveal private health information to employers.
But supporters said they're willing to make changes to address such concerns voiced by Gov. Jan Brewer, who said the bill could create a potentially uncomfortable situation for women, and others including U.S. Sen. John McCain.
PHOENIX — An Arizona senator gets in a fight with his girlfriend on a Phoenix freeway and avoids arrest. An Arkansas legislator leads officers on a high-speed chase through two counties and doesn't get taken into custody. A Georgia lawmaker claims he couldn't be prosecuted on a DUI charge.
In each case, a little-known privilege called legislative immunity that prevents the arrests of legislators while they are in session came into play.

The debut of the first Google Glass payment application could spur a rise in wearable wallets as a less-pricey and more secure payment option than mobile payment options that are tied to a carrier, say some in the industry. "Wearable wallets via things like buttons, rings, cuff links and bracelets are items that can always be on your person and are easily accessible. So, they can be a faster, more convenient way to pay," said Drew Sievers, CEO of mFoundry at FIS.

Miley Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop' is Maple Leafs' choice in victory songs
More NHL: Scores | Standings | League Leaders | Odds | Injuries | Power Rankings
Walk into an winning NHL dressing room and you are liable to hear any number of songs. I'll never forget when waiting outside the Senators' room after they clinched a playoff spot last season and they were blasting Hall and Oates' You Make My Dreams Come True. It was interesting but who doesn't mind some 80s pop rock in moments of joy?
Still, I don't think many would expect to walk into a NHL dressing room and hear Miley Cyrus but then again, the Toronto Maple Leafs are always doing things to surprise.
Lupul on Leafs using 'We Can't Stop' as victory song: "Certainly not my choice. Whatever. As long as we keep winning I'll deal with it."
— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) October 16, 2013
Yup, there is a room full of NHL players subjecting themselves to Miley Cyrus music in what is supposed to be moments of joy.
So if Lupul isn't responsible for Hannah Montana's grownup self blaring on their speakers after games, who is? That would be Tyler Bozak and he's not afraid to admit it. He digs him some Miley music.
"@daftpuck: @Bozie42 Can't believe you listen to Miley. She sucks, dude." Sue me, dude.
— Tyler Bozak (@Bozie42) October 16, 2013
Hey @MileyCyrus. You're getting lots of attention here in Toronto! #goodjob #wecantstop
— Tyler Bozak (@Bozie42) October 16, 2013
Hey, whatever works I supposed. More power to Bozak and I guess more power to the team. I mean, the Leafs are 6-1-0 to start the season and the title of the song does seem to fit the team's goals at this point. But if somebody wants to stop Bozak from picking the music going forward, well it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to the Leafs.
Now, I'll bury the video of Cyrus' song way down here for the few of you who care to subject yourself to it (both the audio and the visual aspects).

The Detroit Lions put defensive end James Hall and reserve running back Brian Calhoun on injured reserve Thursday, ending their seasons. Detroit signed defensive end Corey Smith and running back Aveion Cason to fill the roster spots. Hall, a starter since 2002, had five sacks in seven games this season before missing Detroit's previous game against Atlanta with a shoulder injury. Link To Original Article
Wow, that sucks. Our 1 decent pass rusher. I didn't think the injury was that bad. On the bright side, at least his 2 offsides a game are on the IR as well. I didn't even know Calhoun was injured. He won't be a big loss since he rarely saw the field.

In this documentary, filmmaker Darryl Roberts offers deeper insight into this observation by speaking with everyone from advertising and fashion professionals to average people on the street in an attempt to discover precisely why some people are willing to put their lives on the line in order to become physically attractive. Gerren Taylor was a lanky 12-year-old girl whose gangly appearance was once an endless source of amusement for her cruel classmates, but over the course of the next two years her most embarrassing features become her greatest assets as she strives to become one of America's next top supermodels. But what drives girls like young Gerrin to seek the attention and admiration of millions? By attempting to peer into the mindsets of such picturesque celebrities of Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson and picking the brains of some of the top magazine editors, plastic surgeons, and beauty experts in the country -- not to mention divulging the sometimes bizarre ingredients found in popular cosmetics -- Roberts does his best to find out just why we seem to value surface beauty over true substance.

Consensus: This doc doesn't expose any new territory about our unattainable standards of beauty, but does manage to entertain with an effective and accessible tone by filmmaker/subject Darryl Roberts.
Perhaps in future exposes Roberts will uncover that ice is cold and furnaces hot.
Full review…With so many pointless detours ripping you away, the film feels as lamely digressive as the proverbial one-track guy whose head won't stop turning as each new temptation walks by.
Full review…Probing docu about society's obsession with looks.
Full review…Despite the occasional flash of insight, and a few semi-shocking factoids, most women are going to find this movie roughly as illuminating as a remedial math class might be for a Nobel-prize winning physicist.
Full review…Unexpectedly witty and affecting.
Full review…America's obsession with beauty is the subject of filmmaker Darryl Roberts wide-ranging investigative documentary that shows how beauty product manufacturers manipulate the public.
Full review…In the documentary America the Beautiful, Roberts explores the cult of beauty in the United States and mostly succeeds in unmasking the flaws of fetishizing skin-deep beauty.
Full review…America the Beautiful provides plenty of food for thought, and Roberts' passion for the subject shines through.
Full review…The film's examination of our beauty-obsessed culture--however familiar--remains unfortunately necessary.

Last week a friend of mine came to visit and during some downtime, he had a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. (His was for a larger iPad.) I thought it looked interesting and decided to get one for my iPad mini. Of course, I neglected to realize that the keyboard would be a lot smaller because it was for an iPad mini, doh!
When the keyboard arrived, I was impressed with how little bulk it added and really like how the keyboard sits in the stand. As a cover and a stand, the keyboard cover works well. The keyboard is a little small for touch typists, but after a few days, I'm starting to get used to it and am, in fact, writing this review using the keyboard. The biggest problem I'm finding is that I feel like the keyboard is shifted slightly offset from center causing me to shift my hands. The smaller keys aren't for everyone, but I'm finding that I can fairly easily type on it while it is on my lap or on a desk,
It is easy to forget that it is a Bluetooth keyboard and has to be charged. Logitech estimates that with 2 hours per day usage, you can get about 3 months of usage. Unfortunately the only way you know the power level is to wait until the power light blinks and at that point, it is down to 5%. The cover uses magnets like the smart cover to turn the iPad on/off when the cover is opened and closed which is clever as I've only seen it in Apple's covers. In addition, it uses magents to hold the iPad in the stand.
- Compact.
- Provides a protective cover for the iPad.
- Rechargeable.
- Connects easily to the iPad.
- The keys have enough travel for typing.
- It is a little small and may be hard for some people to type. (The one for the other iPads will be different.)
- Keys appear to be shifted which can make it hard to type.
- No indicator for battery remaining.
The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover is going to be an excellent addition to my iPad mini and make it even easier to leave my laptop behind on trips or to leave it in my office at night when I want to write. If you have big hands and use an iPad mini, I suspect that this keyboard won't be a good choice for you. For a bigger iPad, the keyboard will, of course, be larger and easier to use. At the list price of $70, I think this could be overpriced. However, I got mine off Amazon as an openbox item for $32 and for that price, I think it was a good purchase. This week my personal MacBook Pro is going in for repair (it is part of Apple's extended warranty program for graphics card issues) and this keyboard is going to help me with my computer withdrawl :-).
For other iPads, the versions of the keyboard may prove to be easier to use, so if you're looking to make your iPad your only computer or a travel device, you should definitely check out this keyboard.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to do business and make important decisions. The moon is in Aries.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
This week starts off with some wild, electric energy. You're restless, impulsive and in true Aries form. Something will make you act irrationally or do something on a moments notice. A female friend or a situation at home might surprise you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You feel restless. Something going on behind the scenes or perhaps something in the back of your mind is distracting you from whatever is at hand. It sort of makes you want to run away and join the circus. Life will be calmer and easier tomorrow. When talking to others you will be forthright and convincing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Meetings, conferences and classes might be cancelled. Interaction with a female friend or acquaintance will probably bring a few surprises. Some of you might meet someone, likely a female, who is unusual in some way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Discussions with authority figures will surprise you. It could be a pleasant surprise or quite the opposite. Don't quit your day job even if you feel defiant and rebellious. This is something out of the blue. Quite likely, others are aware of your unpredictable situation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Expect that something unusual might happen with your travel plans. They might be cancelled, delayed or changed. Alternatively, an unexpected trip or an invitation to go somewhere might fall in your lap. Similar surprises connected to higher education, training, publishing and the media are also likely.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Keep an eye on your bank account and your debtors because something unexpected might happen. The posse might be after you. Surprises regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt might please or displease. (It's hard to say.)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Partners and close friends are a bit off-the-wall. You will be surprised by something that they say or do. Perhaps they want more independence or perhaps you do? Many relationships will be renegotiated today so that people feel they are on an even playing field.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your work routine will be interrupted. Cancellations, delays, staff shortages, computer crashes and rebellious co-workers are just a few things that will send your day sideways in a New York minute. However, discussions about partnerships can be productive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is an accident-prone day for your kids or children you work with, so be extra vigilant. Similarly, sports-related accidents or changes to sports events might occur. Romance is a pretty bumpy road today as well. Nevertheless, you're keen to make improvements to your health and your job.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Something unexpected will occur with your home routine or perhaps with a female relative. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Domestic arguments might suddenly flare up. Just keep your cool. This is all very fleeting and temporary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is an accident-prone day for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. It's also hard for you to keep your concentration on one thing because your mind keeps jumping from subject to subject. Guard against knee-jerk reactions or rash decisions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Keep an eye on your money and cash flow because you might find money or you might lose money. Similarly, your possessions might suddenly be broken or stolen because something unpredictable can happen. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. Ka-ching!
Baseball player Willie Mays (1931) shares your birthday. You know how to work with fantasy and imagination. You are sensitive and aware of the feelings of others. Personally, you constantly work to overcome obstacles. You like to take the side of the underdog and champion their cause. Your friendly exterior actually hides a complex personality. An exciting new cycle will begin for you in the coming year. Open any door!

After being cooped up during the long, cold winter and wet spring, people couldn't wait to get outside this summer.
That's keeping local hospitals busy.
Central Ohio trauma centers report seeing more severely injured patients this year compared with 2010, especially during the past few months.
Experts normally anticipate a surge in trauma patients from April to October -- considered trauma season -- but this year has been even busier.
"When it gets cold, we hibernate," said Dr. Doug Paul, trauma director at Grant Medical Center. "In warm weather, we bike, swim, jump out of trees.
"And with hot weather, people start shooting each other."
The most-common trauma injury is falls, followed by vehicle crashes and then assaults, according to the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Experts attribute this year's spike in part to central Ohio's population growth of about
14 percent during the past decade, but also to poor decisions.
"We're a mobile society, and people are doing the darndest things, like drinking beer, going up on the roof and deciding to cut a tree," Paul said.
Columbus has five trauma centers, and three are reporting increases.
Mount Carmel West hospital is reporting a 39 percent increase, Riverside Methodist Hospital said it has seen 9 percent more trauma patients this year, and Ohio State University has had a 6 percent increase.
The number of trauma patients so far this year is flat at Grant and down slightly at Nationwide Children's Hospital through June, but that's expected to change as the summer goes on.
"Our trauma numbers are pretty predictable ... July and August are our busiest months," said Kathy Haley, trauma-program coordinator at Children's.
Dr. Steven Steinberg, director of trauma at OSU Medical Center, said that last year was the busiest ever for his trauma center.
So far this year, he said, there's been an increase in patients coming by ambulance or private car and a 40 percent drop in those brought by helicopter.
"There's been a shift," he said. "Ambulance arrivals and EMS from scenes are up. So, despite the construction, EMS is fighting their way in here."
Ohio State is in the middle of a $1.1 billion expansion of the medical center.
Dr. Victor Dizon, trauma director at Mount Carmel West, credits his program's growth to education and outreach to EMS agencies, outlying hospitals and people in the community.
But he doesn't put much weight in focusing on increasing patient numbers.
"People put so much emphasis on volume, and volume can be a negative thing," Dizon said. "If you have too much volume, your system can't handle it.
"There needs to be a balance between volume and resources."

Spacing laminate flooring
I'm helping my in-laws with unglued tongue in groove laminate flooring. there is a minimun 3/8 to 5/8 inch space required. The sheetrock doesn't reach the floorand the gap is large enough for the flooring to fit under. Will it cause a problem to have a larger space by going in front of the sheetrock. We don't want the flooring to shift.
Also it says to seal the cement and then put down a vapor barrier, is the sealant a must? Thanx |
In my opinion a sealant and vapor barrier are both for the same reason and it does seem redundant. One or the other should be fine. Although if you do ever have an issue the manufacture would most defiantly have a "out" of any warranty if you choses not to follow the instructions. Leave the full gap recommend! One of the biggest problems I have seen on laminate "floating" style floors is they will buckle up if they don't have the expansions space. I have yet to see one slip or shift. Remember it is one sheet threw the whole room or area when it's done. |
