VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES @ CEC "Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain love for one another"-- Erma Bombeck Bombay Natural History Society is an NGO working in the field of wildlife conservation since 1883. 'Conservation through Nature education' has always been its primary concern. Its Conservation Education Centre (CEC) situated in Goregaon radiates the same concern. Altruism is the key to the success and growth of the Society. Financial as well as support in kind has been the vital element for survival of the Society. To ensure the continuity of altruism in the form of dedicated volunteers for the cause of conservation, the BNHS invites support from all those who care to make a better world for all living beings, including human beings. Why Volunteer: An effort, as small as spending time helping others, can go a long way in bringing change in the lives of many. The sheer joy of accomplishment or joy that you get by lending a helping hand to other people and organizations can be quite overwhelming. People pick up volunteer programmes for many reasons and in many different ways. One of the main reasons is a sense of satisfaction that they get from working towards causes they are interested in. Some people volunteer because they find it is a good way to learn new things and meet new people. And surprisingly volunteering works well for all of them as it helps them start seeing things from a completely new perspective. As a volunteer you can help us with:

One person was shot and killed by police in Avondale on Wednesday night after officers attempted to buy heroin as part of a drug and gun investigation, officers said.
The incident happened about 5:45 p.m. near Reading Road.
"It's been an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking guns and gang activity in the Avondale neighborhood," Assistant Cincinnati Police Chief James Whalen said.
The plan was for an undercover officer to make a buy and for uniformed police to swoop in and make an arrest.
"The suspect vehicle backed, up rammed into a plainclothes Cincinnati police car," Whalen said. "The suspects emerged from the car -- at least one armed suspect, we have a weapon. We're following up on two suspects with guns."
Investigators said an officer fired shots and hit two of the subjects.
One died a short time later at an area hospital. The other was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at University Hospital.
The third subject ran off and forced police to block off streets and escort people back to their homes while search crews looked for the missing subject.
"We never want to use this kind of force to keep the community safe but police are trained to action," Mayor Mark Mallory said.
Many Avondale residents have been asking for police help to help clean up the community.

As always, the NBA Draft started at breakneck speed. Commissioner David Stern came out from behind his almighty Oz curtain and was greeted as he has been for years — with aggressive booing from the Prudential Center crowd.
"Thank you for the warm reception," Stern said, in a tone normally reserved for Jim Rome.
From there, the parade of bad suits, embarrassing family and awkward TV could not be stopped.

RESEARCH REPORT Anna Azvolinsky A cohort-based study found that men with prostate cancer who took cholesterol-lowering statins had a lower risk of dying from their prostate cancer.
RESEARCH REPORT Anna Azvolinsky A case-control study of almost 500 men suggests that obese men who have had a benign prostate biopsy have a greater risk of prostate cancer in the future.
REVIEW ARTICLE Rajan T. Gupta et al; ONCOLOGY Vol. 27 No. 4 Our aims in this article are to describe the various imaging sequences that comprise the multiparametric MRI exam, as well as to review current literature on the strengths/weaknesses of these sequences.
REVIEW ARTICLE Matvey Tsivian, et al; ONCOLOGY Vol. 26 No. 12 In this review we focus on the recent evolution of the concept of focal therapy and the potential applications of this management approach within an array of options currently available for patients with localized prostate cancer.
Our aims in this article are to describe the various imaging sequences that comprise the multiparametric MRI exam, as well as to review current literature on the strengths/weaknesses of these sequences; to delineate strategies for standardizing interpretation and reporting of MRI results; and to expound on the role of prostate MRI in clinical practice. • The State of Prostate MRI in 2013: Into the Breach • Multiparametric MRI: Standardizations Needed
In this review we focus on the recent evolution of the concept of focal therapy and the potential applications of this management approach within an array of options currently available for patients with localized prostate cancer. • Focal Therapy: A New Active Surveillance Tool? • Focal Therapy of Prostate Cancer—The Challenge
This review summarizes recent findings in clinical prostate cancer research reported at the 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and addresses their relevance to clinical practice. • Prostate Cancer 2012: Where Do We Stand and Where Are We Heading?
There is no question that the robot has leveled the playing field. It has allowed more surgeons to offer patients a minimally invasive approach. In terms of perioperative outcomes, there is clear evidence showing shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, lower complication rates, and shorter convalescence with robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. • Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Who Is Benefiting? • Robotic Prostatectomy Improves Outcomes—After the Potentially Risky Adoption Phase
Over the last decade, robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has rapidly gained in popularity, primarily for three reasons: the enthusiasm of surgeons keen to try something new, medical marketing, and patients' desire to avoid side effects from surgery. • Hopes and Dreams for Quality Improvement in Radical Prostatectomy
In this article, we provide the historical background and rationale for hypofractionated prostate cancer treatment, discuss the potential benefits and risks of prostate hypofractionation, and review the clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness of hypofractionated radiation therapy for prostate cancer. • Less Is More: Will Hypofractionated Radiotherapy • Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer: Has the Time Come?
This article will present current information about alpha-pharmaceuticals, a new class of targeted cancer therapy for the treatment of patients with CRPC and bone metastases. It will review preclinical and clinical studies of the experimental radiopharmaceutical radium-223 chloride (Alpharadin). • Radium-223: Down to the Bone, and Less Is More • An Alpha Edge?
We have entered a period of accelerated drug development and optimism in the care of advanced prostate cancer. The treatment paradigm for these patients is rapidly evolving, with future study needed to define the optimal sequencing and potential combinations of these new agents. • Sequencing of Therapies in Advanced Prostate Cancer • What to Order From the Prostate Cancer Treatment Menu?
This review will examine agents with potential activity in the palliation and treatment of skeletal metastases of PCa, and will weigh the clinical-outcomes evidence for and against their broad use. • Managing CRPC: Improving Symptoms, Survival, or Both? • Are We Trumping Bone Disease in Prostate Cancer?
PT is a promising treatment option for prostate cancer patients. Studies have already demonstrated extremely low rates of grade > 3 GU and GI toxicities and extremely high disease control, presumably related to improved radiation dose distributions over what can be achieved with IMRT. • Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Show Me the CER! • Back to the Future: a Proton Pro/Con
A 70-year-old man with a history of localized prostate cancer treated with whole-pelvis radiation therapy with a boost to the prostate, in conjunction with androgen deprivation therapy 7 years prior, presented with lower back pain. A bone scan revealed an area of activity in the sacrum. What is the most likely diagnosis?
An asymptomatic, 57-year-old man underwent a prostatic biopsy.

Crum is the alcohol mixture of cream soda^ and rum*. One shot of rum mixed with a bottle of cream soda will make the rum almost tasteless. Typically a 1/3 glass of rum and the rest cream soda will make for an enjoyable harder mixture know as a Pro-V mixture. Ice is not necessarily needed but is preferred.
* Clear brands of Rum are typically used (BACARDI®) ^ IBC® cream soda is the preferred brand. I needed a quick drunkenness, after mixing a Crum on the rocks my problems melted away.

Accton Technology Corporation Receives Singapore's 2011 CMO Asia "Best CSR Practices Award" | |
2011/07/30 | |
Taiwanese network manufacturer Accton Technology Corporation is proud to announce it is a recipient of the 2011 CMO Asia "Best CSR Practices Award." Selected among businesses from 40 countries in Asia, Accton was recognized for the prestigious CMO Award based on its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility. Corporate sustainability, environmental responsibility, humanities, and education were among the many criteria considered. In 2011, nine global companies were chosen for this award including Microsoft, SingTel, Kraft Foods, and DHL. Accton Technology was the only Taiwanese company to earn this distinction. Accton Technology is honored to be recognized for Singapore's CMO Asia "Best CSR Practices Award." Over the years, Accton has received a number of prestigious CSR awards in Taiwan. For example, in 2005, Accton earned an award for "Excellent Example of Corporate Social Responsibility." The 2011 CMO Asia "Best CSR Practices Award" marks the first time the company has been recognized internationally, which is an enormous achievement that reflects positively on all those hard-working employees that made this possible. Beyond the steady support and encouragement for Accton's continued focus on the environment, public welfare, and society, the bigger picture for Accton is to continue to lead Taiwanese companies by exercising good corporate social responsibility. Attaining international recognition only reaffirms this commitment. During the CMO Asia "Best CSR Practices Award" ceremony, Accton was acknowledged for the continued support through their e-charity website, (www.17885.com.tw). Accton's CSR activities are not only about "doing the right thing" or making charitable contributions. More importantly, they are about creating shared value. Accton utilizes its core competency of network communications and integrates social responsibility into the company's overall strategy. One concrete example: constructing a website platform that encourages people to participate and work together in a synergistic manner to assist the community at large. Twenty-four years of continued technological development has helped Accton gain valuable insight into the impact technology has on society. Besides bringing convenience to people's lives, networks provide freedom, openness, and the ability to share our aspirations and ideals with each other, bringing us even closer together, and allowing us the ability to unite and work together to improve society. In addition, utilizing network technologies and a comprehensive program, Accton's e-Charity platform is not only a one-way outlet for information and support for public welfare. It connects people with many public welfare organizations, providing a platform of information exchange. The limitless boundaries of the Internet bring together voices from all over the world that may otherwise be unheard of and also help channel enormous amounts of resources efficiently and effectively. Apart from social welfare programs, in 2000 Accton Technologies also established the Accton Arts Foundation and the Arttime website (www.arttime.com.tw). As part of the movement towards online social networks, this website serves as a platform for innovators to display and share their art, ideas, and concepts with other artists alike. Not only is this platform a way to share and collaborate, but an incubator for aspiring artists to continue to tell the story of human civilization through new and innovative methods.
