Supportive care for lung cancer
Supportive care helps people meet the physical, practical, emotional and spiritual challenges of lung cancer. It is an important part of cancer care. There are many programs and services available to help meet the needs and improve the quality of life of people living with cancer and their loved ones, especially after treatment has ended.
Recovering from lung cancer and adjusting to life after treatment is different for each person, depending on where the cancer was in your body, the stage of the cancer, the organs and tissues removed during surgery, the type of treatment and many other factors. The end of cancer treatment may bring mixed emotions. Even though treatment has ended, there may be other issues to deal with, such as coping with long-term side effects. A person who has been treated for lung cancer may have the following concerns.
A cough is one of the most common concerns for people with lung cancer. It is often one of the first symptoms of lung cancer, but coughing may be a concern during all stages of the disease. Report a new cough or any changes to an existing cough to your healthcare team.
The cough may be dry and hacking, or wet and productive (coughing up sputum). Sometimes the sputum may have blood from the lungs in it.
Coughing can be caused by:
- a tumour blocking the large airway (bronchus) of the lung
- a buildup of fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion)
- inflammation of the lung caused by radiation therapy (radiation pneumonitis)
- a lung infection (pneumonia)
- other existing lung problems, such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Treatment will depend on what is causing the coughing. Treatment options may include endobronchial therapies to treat a blockage in the airway or antibiotics to treat infection.
Your healthcare team may have suggestions that can help ease the coughing, such as:
- use a humidifier in dry rooms
- use deep breathing exercises
- clear the airways using different body positions (postural drainage)
- use a machine to clear the mucus from the airway
If coughing isn't relieved with other treatments, your healthcare team may give you opioid medicines to help ease coughing.
Difficulty breathing
Many people with lung cancer have problems with breathing and shortness of breath. This can be a very upsetting symptom that can significantly affect a person's quality of life. It can affect work, walking and physical activity, sleeping and general activities. People who are having difficulty breathing and shortness of breath may also feel anxious.
Find out more about difficulty breathing.
Pleural effusion
A pleural effusion is a buildup of fluid around the lung. This fluid can press on the lung, making it hard to breathe. Many people with lung cancer will develop pleural effusion.
Find out more about pleural effusion.
Weight loss
Weight loss is one of the most common side effects of lung cancer and its treatment. Studies have shown that people with lung cancer who lose a lot of weight don't survive as long as people who keep much of their weight.
One of the main reasons for losing weight is a loss of appetite. Many people with lung cancer have a loss of appetite because cancer or its treatments can affect the way food tastes and make you not feel like eating. If you don't eat enough, you lose weight.
Eating properly can help your body fight disease and cope with the effects of lung cancer treatment. Find out more about loss of appetite and nutrition for people with cancer.
Blood clots
People with lung cancer are at a higher risk of developing blood clots in the leg (called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and in the lung (called a pulmonary embolism). Your healthcare team may treat you with blood thinning medicines to lower the risk of this happening.
Questions to ask about supportive care
See a list of questions to ask your doctor about supportive care after treatment.
Mucus and other matter coughed up from the lungs.
Also called phlegm.

Popular eye supplements need a tweak, study suggests
- Macular degeneration is leading cause of blindness in USA
- Popular supplements commonly sold as %22AREDS%22 formula
- Using lutein and zeaxathin instead of beta carotene helped
Millions of older Americans who take special vitamin and mineral supplements to slow progression of a blinding condition called age-related macular degeneration should take note of a new study: It shows that adding omega-3 fatty acids to the mix probably won't help, but that replacing beta-carotene with two other nutrients might be a good idea.
That's the upshot of a complex study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association online on Sunday, says lead researcher Emily Chew, deputy clinical director at the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The results are important because they concern the leading cause of blindness in the United States and popular supplements commonly sold as the "AREDS" formula — short for the Age-Related Eye Disease Study. In 2001, that study showed that a high-dose combination of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper reduced the risk of worsening AMD by 25% when it was taken by people who already had intermediate AMD or advanced AMD in one eye.
That was good news for about 8 million people at high risk for becoming legally blind from a condition that gradually robs people of the ability to read and recognize faces. But the results came with a warning: Beta-carotene may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers, so smokers were asked to skip that part of the formula. Former smokers were asked to discuss the possible risk with their doctors.
Researchers also had reason to believe they could boost effectiveness by tweaking the formula, Chew says. They had observed that AMD risk was lower in people who ate diets high in omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, and in the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin, found in leafy green vegetables, eggs, corn and some other foods. Like beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are pigments that add color to food. When consumed in food, they may act as antioxidants to prevent cell damage.
The new results are from a five-year study of more than 4,000 people ages 50 to 85. It was designed to see if patients got different results with AREDS supplements when they added omega-3 fatty acids; added lutein and zeaxanthin; got no beta-carotene; or reduced zinc.
Among key results:
• Simply adding omega-3s or lutein and zeaxanthin to the standard AREDS formula did not help or hurt.
• Taking away beta-carotene and reducing the zinc dose (meant to reduce side effects such as urinary tract problems) didn't hurt.
• Using lutein and zeaxathin instead of beta-carotene produced somewhat better eye protection and no increased risk of lung cancer. Those supplements were especially effective for people whose diets were low in the nutrients.
The findings, though they sound complicated, will make counseling patients easier, says Julia Haller, ophthalmologist in chief at Wills Eye Institute, Philadelphia. She had patients in the study. The results suggest that all patients can take the same formula — dropping beta-carotene and adding lutein and zeaxathin — without worrying about smoking history, she and Chew say.
While the supplements don't prevent advancement of AMD in all patients, Haller says, they are well worth taking.
"This is a disease largely driven by genetics and aging, and those are two things we can't do anything about," she says. "This is something patients can do to slow the progress, put the brakes on the train."
There's no evidence the supplements help the vision of healthy adults or people with earlier stages of AMD. The supplements also have not been shown to prevent cataracts, though an additional study published Sunday showed some possible protective effect from the lutein and zeaxathin formula in people with low levels of the nutrients in their diets.
But Chew says the best advice for most people is to "eat a good balanced diet with plenty of leafy greens and fish." Such a diet is good for hearts, she says, "and it certainly can't hurt your eyes."
Abdhish Bhavsar, a retina surgeon in Minneapolis and a clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, notes that smoking is a major risk factor for AMD progression. So for smokers with the disease, the most important advice is to stop smoking, he says: "What vitamin they take has a much smaller impact."

49ers' grades vs. Patriots
Recommended Video:
Colin Kaepernick clearly needs work on handling snaps in wet and miserable conditions, but he emerged with a 107.7 rating and the game-winning touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree (107 yards) after the Patriots had roared back to tie the score. As always, Frank Gore (117 total yards) ran hard and effectively. The offensive line kept Kaepernick largely upright, allowing just one sack. The bottom line: The 49ers produced 41 points.
For the first time in 32 regular-season games, the 49ers allowed 30 points, but it was against the NFL's top-ranked offense. They forced four turnovers, six fewer than the Patriots had in their first 13 games. Donte Whitner's forced fumble and Aldon Smith's interception led to two touchdowns in a 17-second span early in the third quarter. They allowed 407 yards and 26 first downs in the second half, but turned away New England twice in the late going.
David Akers' struggles continued with a missed 39-yard field-goal try, although he rebounded to hit chip shots of 20 and 28 yards. Every punt return was an adventure with Ted Ginn, who muffed one punt (he recovered) and nearly had another graze off his leg. LaMichael James' 62-yard kickoff return turned the tide after the Patriots had tied the game, and Andy Lee had a jaw-dropping 54.0 net average while dropping three of his punts inside the 20.
The direct-snap, fake punt that Dashon Goldson ran 31 yards around left end was a bold and successful early stroke. Kudos, also, for coming out throwing when many figured the 49ers would adopt a conservative keep-away approach from the NFL's top-ranked offense. The offensive play-calling did get conservative with a big lead in the second half, most notably a 3rd-and-4 handoff to LaMichael James with a seven-point lead and three minutes left.
It was wild win over a red-hot team that had been called the NFL's best team after its beat-down of Houston. The 49ers might have let down with a 28-point cushion, but they showed poise by steadying themselves after the Patriots tied the game to put the crowd in a frenzy.

My Linux Computer is Acting Weird
A few days ago, thanks to one student, I realized that something funny was happening with my Linux netbook.
He said that it was weird that I was unafraid of USB viruses when I used my computer. Because of that comment, as in a Joycean epiphany, I discovered that THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TRULY WRONG with my netbook. Let me explain:
Since I installed Linux, I haven't seen a blue screen of death--Not even a flash of the scary blue. That's WEIRD.
It is also very strange that my Linux system keeps showing me invisible files stored in USB drives. I am not talking of hidden files. I am talking of many folders that I haven't created; they appear spontaneously when I plug in my USB drive onto any Windows computer. Of course, in Windows, I have no problem because the hideous files remain unseen. What's more: the antivirus constantly tells me that my USB drive is clean. Yet, when I use the flash drive in Linux, I can see them: lots of folders, sometimes with cryptic names, sometimes executable files with the name of my real folders. They are viruses! How am I supposed to have peace of mind if this Mandriva Linux OS keeps showing me how infected my USB drive actually is?
Moreover, it's very weird that my Linux computer refuses to behave as a normal Windows computer. I can get rid of those viruses in two clicks. I do not have to disable system restore...I do not have to boot in safe mode, mess up with the Windows registry, nor run full scans that take forever. Why is Linux so strange?
But here comes the most remarkable thing: my computer, regardless of the quantity of viruses I store in my USB drive (if I decide not to delete those files, of course), keeps WORKING, unaffected by the frightening threats! Now, that is TRULY WEIRD. Why would a person want to have a computer like mine, that is invulnerable to the scourge of USB viruses?
I turned to my student and said to him: "You think that my keeping of the USB viruses is weird. Well, they are harmless in my computer. I believe it's weirder to know that these viruses can destroy your OS and you, as a meek sheep, simply accept to live with that condition".
I saw something sparking in his eyes as another student asked me to help him install Linux in his computer.

I like the way you describe a normal Linux computing experience into 'weird'. At ALC the students that do not have their PCs yet, bring in their USB keys which have been attached to windows PCs (from home, the public library, public schools,etc.) and count the number of files that 'magically' appear on them. They consider it a game and have the senior students (our span of students are either very young and senior citizens) terrified. These kids are sharp and consider what in the windows computing world would be a hazard into amusement.ResponderEliminar
OTOH using a windows platform in mission critical environments is no joke; it can border on negligence.
Taking viruses lightly at a personal lever is one thing, but at larger levels (industrial, medical), they are more than a simple annoyance. I still don't understand why people actually accept viruses and all the problems they cause. It's not hard to run a Linux computer, but they prefer to keep suffering! I bet the kids at ALC are teaching a very valuable lesson to their seniors. Way to go!!!ResponderEliminar
Awesome story. I'm running some of those legacy OSes to use as a petri dish for virus pets.ResponderEliminar
FYI: http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=1444ResponderEliminar
@ pjcolon,ResponderEliminar
Thanks for sharing! What a scary world we live in if people make reckless decisions as putting Windows into system that is related to a plane...
You know: Setting Windows Explorer to show hidden and/or system files and extensions, and a good attrib /S /D -s -r -h * command is enough to get all the bastard viruses and weird folders to the light of the sun.ResponderEliminar
As a former Linux user and returning Windows XP user I have to say: Thanks for getting that poor kid into the world of kernel panic, lack of drivers, unstable taskbars and file managers, freedom as in paranoia, failing suspend/hibernation, stupid arguments treating technology as a religion, and constant regressions.
@ Theguy,ResponderEliminar
That should be enough to see them...but seeing them is not the same as REMOVING THEM! You forgot to type the process to clean the viruses (from the OS, not cheating with additional AV software) and also missed the point: getting hit by them. Oh, and you also forgot the AV rituals (that's paranoia). In that sense, Windows is more like a religion...you even have to pray for the computer not to get infected, hahaha!
Sorry, but none of what you mentioned has happened to me. Well, except the lack of drivers, but that is not the fault of the OS, so it's a strawman fallacy.
Funny that you returned to XP...If Windows is so good, you should be using 7, as Brother Ballmer commands every XP user to ;-)
love the story. I had to use my linux to clean and move files of my wife's work computer cos every time I put in a USB stick an copied files off, a virus copied on as well and I had to remove the virus before transferring them to the new machine.ResponderEliminar
They pay me to fix Microsoft, I use linux to get the job done.
"Cheating" with additional AV software?ResponderEliminar
That's all I have to say about that.
@ TJ,ResponderEliminar
By cheating I mean that Linux bashers always resort to the lack of drivers to disqualify Linux as an operational OS although drivers are not part of any OS. However, when talking about viruses, Windows requires additional help (third-party AV software) to deal with them. So, I'd like Windows supporters to see their reality: Windows, as an OS, is a terrible platform to deal with viruses by itself.
Boy, how come someone who is clinging to the dying XP dinosaur mentions the word "regressions"?? Maybe his system was not "good enough" to run Seven. Really...even Windows supporters are bashing XP nowadays and this person still holds to it...Either he failed to see his own reality or he thinks Microsoft will back up XP forever! I wonder what he'll do once XP gets well-buried in a couple of years. Windows users are so quick to mention "religion" to bash Linux but their own "faith" does not count, it seems. A little honesty, please!!! Run your great windows system for 3 months without any AV, anti-malware software, anti-spyware software and without those precious "patches" and service packs and see if it is as good as you claim. If you don't dare, then don't chant the supremacy of your OS, priests!ResponderEliminar
@ Megatotoro,ResponderEliminar
Yes, and he even insulted me in another comment...Boy! Of course, I pity the poor sore ego of his because of his nightmarish experience with Canonical's distro...but you know the saying: "If you cannot handle your Ubuntu, you cannot migrate from XP to 7"! :-P
October/2010 is the support ending date for xp.ResponderEliminar
So soon? I read somewhere it had been extended to 2014 (at least for SP2 & 3ResponderEliminar
It's never written in stone but it has been 'announced'. If OLPC's effect on the 'netbook' market hadn't happened support for xp would've ended sooner. With microsoft it's always a case of moving goalposts and revenue($s).ResponderEliminar
MS 'technical evangelists', astroturfers, trolls, fanbois and spin masters(IDC/IDG, ZDNet, Cnet, etc.) can bash GNU/Linux all they want. Once a user is on the *NIX platform very few go back.
"Run your great windows system for 3 months without any AV, anti-malware software, anti-spyware software and without those precious "patches" and service packs and see if it is as good as you claim."ResponderEliminar
Easy unplug your ethernet, turn off your wireless og viola your are well protected and your produtivity are on par with Linux ;-)
Windows requires additional help (third-party AV software)
not necessarily third party apps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials
Comon guys!! This article is bollocks. Linux guys still clinging on to the Windows vira(and etc. myth). Actually it is not a strength itself that Linux does not get harmed by virus, spyware, etc. (although it is great when surfing pr0n). It's just indication how hard it is to write a virus to a system that has very small userbase and more importantly to target all the major distros - they are to diverted. Different kernel, different libs, different ABI's, different broken version of KDE, and the list goes on. No virus on Linux ; it's not feature, it's a bug!!
Takes cover ;-)
WW3!?! OMG!! Where ?!?! The same world where Windows constantly crashes with a bluescreen?? Same world i said that Linux is bug. Nah i didn't say that Linux itself is a bug - but the missing binary comp. is bug. Maybe i'm seeking a minor flamewar. But calling Linux (please remark that i'm not using the GNU/*) a bug is just plain stupid. I have people for these silly wars ;-)ResponderEliminar
However, there are records of Windows systems that were compromised via flashdrives.
And what is it with you and flashdrives?? :-) You can also compromise a Windows system with CD-roms and Floppies. Like you can comprimise a Linux system with an owned repos.
Just for the record, and i know this is kinda boring, i'm not a particullar OS-fanboy. I use Mac OS X, Linux (Since 2001) and Windows - depending on my needs. The funny thing about the OSS scene ; it hadn't change, speaking of arguements, that much since 2001 ;-)
And that is my point. It's not that it's a myth that Windows can't get infected - it can be done. Very easily. But it's myth that you to spend 95% of your time removing spyware, malware, etc. on a Windows box - like it is myth that you will have to be a geek that never seen a naked lady in your life to set up a working Linux box.
Could we please get a little more pragmatic and less zealousness ;-)
Just standing and waving
@ Mads,ResponderEliminar
Don't worry. No sticks and stones here. Save your cover for WW3.
Windows viruses are a myth? A rather factual myth, I'd say, hahaha! If ancient Greek gods were like them...
So, Windows is more secure if I'm isolated from the world...I can't debate that :-) However, there are records of Windows systems that were compromised via flash drives.
About the MS Essentials: they rely on AV services outside MS; that is, they are NOT part of the OS. Some of them are currently spreading fake antiviruses (ransomware) that install malware and demand payment from the user to remove part of what they install. Nice protection!
Linux as a bug: Well, my position is this: give me any bug that keeps my banking safer than it is in Windows and I'll be happy.
@ Mads,ResponderEliminar
"But it's myth that you to spend 95% of your time removing spyware, malware, etc. on a Windows box"
Nope, no myth there. Actually, that was the reason that brought me to Linux. I realized that most of the computer knowledge I had gathered in over 10 years was for Windows self-defense. Even my friends would call me to repair their Windows boxes...and I'm no technician! That's when I thought..."Why do I have to use so much of my time to protect Windows machines at home, work, etc? I need to do what I like with my computer! Let MS defend their own system!"
Your contributions and pragmatism are always welcome and appreciated here. Regards,
@Mechatotoro : What happen to the thread? Ahh different timestamps :-).ResponderEliminar
Well the reason for my Linuxleap in 2001, and to 2009 running Linux 100%, was for a simpel reason ; curiosity. just like an amateur mechanics fiddles with his car. I was very fond of Linux and how you could customize it for your needs. But the lack time (suddenly i got three lovely kids) and a photoeditor which was on par with Lightroom, An accurate CD-ripper and some other minor thing made me go back to Windows again as my primary OS. With some small experiments with Pardus and Mac OS X.
Nope, no myth there. Actually, that was the reason that brought me to Linux.
Ok, that is not my experience :-) And it's not that i'm not believing you ;-)
But when it comes to spyware, virus, etc. it has not been the mayor issue when repairing a Windows box. Most of the questions are very basic ; installing a program, installing hardware, upgrade, etc.. The few times i have helped out friend with security issues, then it's because the lack of updates, A/V-software (which are not the difficult to install and a tendency not to use your common sense when surfing the net. The same lack of comon sense when newbies just add a new repo to their favorite distrobution without questioning it origins :-)
@ Mads,ResponderEliminar
Three children! Well, I'm about to get my first one...let's see if I can manage to keep posting after she is born ;-)
I wish everyone understood the value of plurality regarding OSs as you do. However, here, we still live in the stone age of technology, not because of lack of technology, but because of lack of involvement. For instance, last week one of my university students asked me what a netbook was...So imagine what Windows security is like here in my country. This issue actually explains my "fixation" with USB drives: most of the problems and complaints I get are related to them.
Yet, I understand what you say about a false sense of security in any OS.
"Easy unplug your ethernet, turn off your wireless og viola your are well protected and your produtivity are on par with Linux ;-)"
That's totally true, but I certainly doubt most Windows users will put your method into practice, even if it could save them lots of headaches. I, for one, do it the few times I have to use Windows and I guarantee DOES work!
Let me thank you for your discussion here. It's great to find users (Windows, MacOS, Linux, whatever) who are critical and open-minded at the same time. They promote thought and help others learn.
Thats the awesome way to describe the security of Linux....Great story :)ResponderEliminar

Back to School
|Grace went to school looking way too grown up and oh so beautiful. She loves middle school. She has already brought a new friend to the house. That's just the way Grace rolls. Not a shy bone in her. I wouldn't have her any other way!!
|Olivia is such an amazing big sister. She really liked school too, but she is more shy than her big sister. She'll take a little longer to make friends. She really leans on Gracie and big sis just isn't in the same building this year.
|Charis LOVES her new teacher! But, like last year, her big brother is her choice of playmate at recess.
|Carrying all of the supplies. It is amazing how much they ask us to contribute on top of school fees. But I guess if the state would get it's act together and fund schools legally it would make a difference. (Now I will step off of my soap box.)
|And our little man. All personality. Also loved school. Josiah has such a thirst for learning!!
|Ella doesn't start until Thursday. She is none too happy about it and threw a major fit when the bus left without her. Shocking, I know....

Starting To Update
Here we are! We moved to Toledo on the 3rd of August. We love the house. Although it is stressful to still own a home in Cincinnati. I guess I will start with now, and eventually move back to how we got here.
Today we went to visit the elementary school where 4 of the kids will attend starting next week. Coy Elementary is a new building. The kids are really excited about it. (I think the younger 4 are most excited because they are in an air conditioned building.) The very nice lady principal gave us a tour. We got to meet 3 of the 4 teachers that will have my kids.
On Thursday, I will take Grace up to to Fassett Middle School on Thursday. I hope I am ready to have a middle school student! It didn't seem like a big deal when my niece, Maddy, went to middle school as a fifth grader. In fact, I remember reassuring my sister that it would be just fine. No big deal. It is different when it is your own, I guess. Unfortunately, Grace is NOT in an air conditioned building. Something her siblings love to remind her of...often!
Oregon (pronounced Oregone) Ohio is a really pleasant little town. Toledo is so different from Cincinnati. Much less suburban sprawl. On one side of Oregon is Toledo proper, on the other side is farmland. The school district goes right up to Lake Erie, although we haven't made it to the lake yet.
I haven't really met anyone yet, besides our neighbors. On one side there is a very nice couple with a 14 year old son and 17 month old daughter. A single man lives on the other side. I am hoping to make some friends with parents once the kids are in school. I am going to start to work on paperwork to substitute in the Oregon City Schools. That should give me more opportunity to make friends.
I know all of us are missing our friends and family in Cincinnati (but it is such a blessing to have my mom closer as well as my cousin.)
I will start to get some pics and give you all a tour of our new home later in the week.

Editor's Note: This week, NBC is taking a look at America's challenges and opportunities. As part of the series, "America at the Crossroads," NBC's Lester Holt reports from the University of Georgia on the ways boys and men are falling behind women and efforts under way to close the achievement gap.
University of Georgia senior Chelsea Lipocky barely notices it anymore.
But go to almost any college campus in America today and you'll notice something missing.
"All my neighbors are girls," Lipocky said. "Getting on a bus, you are surrounded by girls."
Where did all the men go?
America at the Crossroads: The Series
- Nightly News: Men falling behind women
- In the classroom, girls 'flew by' boys
- College students address realities of gender gap
- Nightly News: Women backbone of U.S. economy
- Women understand 'what's going to motivate people'
- Nightly News: U.S. losing immigrant brainpower
- Kunal Bahl video extra: 'I didn't have an option'
- Tough choices for 'financially distressed' city
- Finding the 'next big thing' to create jobs
- Do you need a job? Then get some skills
Once the vast majority, they now make up just over 40 percent of the nation's college students.
That can make women at schools like the University of Georgia sometimes feel like they go to an all-girls college.
"I definitely feel the gender imbalance here," said junior Whitney Judson. "Walking down the street you see all kinds of girls, but guys are kind of rare."
And it's not just college.
Women dominate high school honor rolls and make up more than 70 percent of class valedictorians.
And where are the men going?Video: Just not prepared? More men falling behind (on this page)
Lipocky's high school classmate Justin Rivera operates his own bread delivery route. He dropped out of college after one semester, ironically, to make sure he had work in a tough job market.
"It just wasn't for me," Rivera said. "They were good classes, but I didn't see any reason to be there."
Experts used to explain away the college gender imbalance by noting that men had plenty of high-paying job opportunities to them in manufacturing and construction, but then came the last recession.
The numbers are staggering: 78 percent of the jobs lost since 2007 were held by men, leaving one out of every five working age men out of work.
"I don't think the old jobs for men are coming back," said child and family psychologist Michael Thompson, author of the book "Raising Cain." "And that means that we have figure out how to make school a place where we can make boys ready for the jobs that are going to be there for them. And that's going to take a different kind of education than what we've been doing."
In the last 10 years, 2 million more women than men graduated from college in the United States. That's an achievement gap that is having profound consequences on the economy.Video: In the classroom, girls 'flew by' boys (on this page)
"In order to be competitive over the next decade, we would like to have our share of young adults with degrees going up not down, so we need more young men to get degrees," said Andrew Sum, professor of economics and director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston.
In the nation's elementary schools, where many young men first start to fall behind, there's a growing sense that many boys need a more hands-on approach.
"By school age, three-quarters of the boys in the class are more physically active, more developmentally immature, more impulsive than girls of the same age," Thompson said. "Boys like competition, they like teamwork, they like to produce a product. Boys tend on average to not like to sit quietly with a page of writing in front of them."
Because girls develop verbal skills sooner, some schools are experimenting with single-sex classrooms.Video: College students address realities of gender gap (on this page)
Others, like Hackberry Hill Elementary, just outside Denver, have come up with a whole new take on the Three Rs. you could call it reading, writing, and recess.
Jumping jacks and stretching exercises break up reading lessons and combat boys' short attention spans.
Video game obsessed boys can do their writing lessons with the help of specially designed computer programs.
"We can't make excuses for our boys," said Hackberry Principal Warren Blair. "They can write. They can read. We have to figure out how to reach them."
Among the fastest-growing jobs of the next decade, only two, janitorial work and computer engineering, are expected to be dominated by men.

Bicycling the Wiggle in S.F. points way to future
This week I rode The Wiggle. It only reinforced the inevitable conclusion: Bikes are the future. We need to do a better job of dealing with it.
After all, more people than ever are pedaling the streets of San Francisco. According to the Municipal Transportation Agency, which does an annual bicyclist count, bike traffic went up 58 percent between 2006 and 2010.
The Wiggle is nothing new to dedicated bikers. It's a route from Market Street to the Panhandle that avoids our notoriously steep hills - one of the main obstacles that discourages people from biking San Francisco.
The Wiggle is a bridge from Duboce near Market to Fell in the Panhandle. Then riders can continue on to neighborhoods in the Richmond, Haight and Sunset on slopes gentle enough to keep them from getting soaked in sweat.
Combined with recently installed bike lanes on Market, riding a bike to work makes sense for even those who aren't fanatic bike messenger types.
"We are seeing much more diversity," said Leah Shahum, executive director of the Bicycle Coalition. "I love seeing moms and dads riding to school with their kids."
There's more to this than an increase in bike sales. This is a cultural shift.
"I ride my bike in my suit to take depositions," said attorney John Strouss, who writes the SF Bike Lawyer blog. "It seems like as there are more and more bicyclists, the less marginalized it will become."
And that means letting go of the old angry biker model.
Admittedly, drivers can be obnoxious - and cabdrivers are the worst. I ride a bike three days a week and I've been cut off, nearly hit, and honked at while riding in a bike lane. Clueless pedestrians who stroll into bike lanes don't help.
But it's time for us all to start getting along - bikers, walkers and drivers.
"You would think of all cities, San Francisco is the one that could create that shared feeling," said Marta Lindsey, spokeswoman for TransForm, a Bay Area group that advocates for public transportation and walkable communities.
That would be nice. But make no mistake; the irate bike guy isn't a cliche. He's barreling down the street right now somewhere, convinced that motorists are the enemy and he's the only true shining light of knowledge.
"Needless antagonism doesn't help anybody," said Strouss, who sometimes rides with San Francisco Bike Party, a group whose philosophy is "stay in the right lane, stop at red lights, and roll past conflict."
They don't say it, but that position is clearly a reaction to the free-range traffic-stopper that is Critical Mass. That unstructured ride begins at Justin Herman Plaza on the last Friday of the month and ends almost anywhere. Critical Mass is mostly harmless good times, even if some drivers seethe when the bicyclists blow through red lights. They rolled through our neighborhood last month and seemed more mellow - and more nude - than ever.
There always seem to be a few bellicose types, but to their credit, Critical Mass organizers (who frenetically deny they "organize" anything) are trying to tamp down the belligerence. As the event's website says, "remember that pleasure and friendliness are more subversive than anger and blaming."
The city is halfway through installing the marked paths and bike racks called for in the comprehensive bike pathways plan, and Shahum said the Bicycle Coalition's urban bike education classes are "jammed, with 40 to 60 in a class. We are turning people away."
Now bicycling is for grown-ups.
It's time everyone acted like it.

Funeral of Cardinal Martini to Take Place Monday
The funeral Mass of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini will be held in Milan's cathedral on Monday afternoon and he will be buried there immediately after the rite, according to the archdiocese.
The Jesuit Archbishop Emeritus of Milan died at 3.45pm local time on August 31st at a Jesuit-run clinic in the city of Gallarte, near Milan. He was 85, and had suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years.
Appointed by Pope John Paul II in 1979, the Turin-born cardinal led Italy's largest archdiocese for 22 years and was renowned for his expertise in Sacred Scripture, serving as rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the Pontifical Gregorian University.
Cardinal Martini was a controversial figure, for many years viewed as the standard-bearer of the liberal wing of the Church who touted him as a leading contender to succeed John Paul II. His remarks on the possible use of condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS, and his qualified support for a patient's right to die, were just some of his more controversial opinions that drew both widespread criticism and support.
Yet he was personally close to both John Paul II and Benedict XVI. In a message of condolence sent yesterday to Cardinal Angelo Scola, the current archbishop, Pope Benedict said he thinks "fondly of this dear brother who generously served the Gospel and the Church.
"I remember with gratitude his intense apostolic work, which he generously carried out as a zealous religious and spiritual son of St. Ignatius, an exceptional teacher, authoritative biblical scholar and esteemed rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute, and then as a diligent and wise archbishop of this Ambrosian Archdiocese," he said.
"I also think of the competent and fervent service he rendered to the Word of God, by opening to the ecclesial community the treasures of Sacred Scripture, especially through the promotion of lectio divina."
He also noted how the cardinal lived his lengthy illness "in serenity of soul and trustful abandonment to the will of the Lord."
The Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, also paid tribute, saying Martini "bore witness to and taught the primacy of the spiritual life, as well as attentive listening to man in his various existential and social conditions." He recalled the cardinal as "an expert in and lover of sacred Scripture, which he taught all those who make up the People of God to know and to ponder, as well as so many persons who seek the truth."
Cardinal Martini will be buried in the cathedral as he requested, in an empty tomb located not far from another previous Archbishop of Milan, St. Charles Borromeo. The burial will take place privately, in the presence of Cardinal Scola, family members, and Church leaders.
Corriere della Sera reported that soon after the announcement of his death, faithful began arriving at the cathedral to pay their respects. The cardinal was particularly popular in Milan and the city's authorities have invited all Milanese to observe a minute of silence at 4pm on Monday.

convince gamine execs to walk on stage at and partner up, think again. Palm just announced that a PDK (plugin developer kit) would be loosed at the Game Developers Conference in March, and that'll enable coders to get their own games onto webOS. In the meanwhile (meaning today), Palm users will be able to sink their teeth into Need for Speed and and Sims 3 (among other titles) thanks to a partnership with EA Mobile. We're told that "lots" of games will be available in the App Catalog starting today, and the demo shown during the press event was remarkably lag-free. Another neat bit is the ability for games to integrate seamlessly in webOS, so any new texts you receive can be spotted while the game is playing, and if you switch cards to respond, the game just pauses until you return.
Update: The official release is out, and we're told that titles from EA, Gameloft, Glu Mobile and Laminar Research are available to users today. Head on past the break for a more thorough look.

Healing from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
I. Lottes (68), Bayreuth (Germany)
About 20 years ago, while painting the walls of our living room, I noticed a contraction of my bronchial tubes which caused me considerable shortness of breath. The reaction was so severe that I had to immediately stop painting and hire a painter to do it. I wasn't able to enter the room while the painting was going on because the problems would immediately begin again. In the ensuing weeks and months these problems would also arise on other occasions too, such as in shoe stores. The shoe purchase always had to be carried out rapidly, otherwise I would have to leave the store without buying the shoes. If I did buy some, I would always have to set them out in the fresh air for a few days before I could wear them. Later I bought shoes from a mail order firm and avoided the leather goods departments of department stores. If I needed a purse or handbag, the problems - mainly shortness of breath, but also burning of the eyes and sometimes nosebleed and dizziness - would immediately begin after touching and opening these objects.
As the years went by, reactions to other chemicals occurred, for example to hairsprays, paints and caustics for painting garden furniture, window frames and doors. During these activities, I would also get headaches and nausea as well. I can remember, for example, that I had to leave a paint store immediately because I felt so bad. Glues of all kinds such as carpet or handcraft glue would cause the same problems.
Because I had enjoyed painting very much since my youth, I kept trying to do the work that arose myself, but I always had to stop and allow someone else to do it because my body reacted more and more severely to paint fumes. Often, when visiting the doctor for other ailments, I would also mention these conditions, but was never treated for them.
While attending an esoteric fair in Bayreuth, I learned of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends. A few weeks later I attended a physicians' information lecture at the University of Bayreuth, which took place in March of 1999.
As an walk-on in the documentary film - the mist of the machine did not mind
After an introduction to the teaching of Bruno Gröning, I did einstellen regularly to the healing force and always attended the community hours. Until 2003 the symptoms grew more severe with any kind of the work described. Even on vacation I wasn't able to come into contact with paint or varnish because I would immediately be short of breath. Therefore I avoided all these situations as much as possible in order to be able to live without the problems.
In the autumn of 2008, extras for the filming of the new Bruno Gröning documentary film were sought in Munich. I had the intense feeling I should apply. I drove to the filming location with a friend, was dressed in a 1950s style costume and sat down in the small cinema where the filming was taking place. To portray the time period as realistically as possible, a fog machine was used to make the beam of light from the projector visible. I was sitting of all places in the row where this machine stood, and interestingly this fog didn't bother me at all. Normally I would have had to leave the room due to attacks of coughing and nausea.
Do the work that I enjoy so much
In the spring of 2009, I went to the leather-goods department of a department store to buy a suitcase. Only back home did I realize that I had spent at least half an hour in that department, opening several suitcases without any problems at all. Encouraged by this experience, I immediately decided to paint our garden benches with wood varnish. To my great joy there were also no problems or symptoms at all from that. Even the brush cleaner no longer triggered any reaction at all. I now use hairspray again on occasion and am able to very calmly look for shoes in shops or walk through the leather-goods departments of department stores without any physical effects.
I thank God and Bruno Gröning with all my heart that I was able to experience healing from all the physical reactions to these chemical substances and can once again do the work that I enjoy so much.

If you are in New York City, and don't have a ton of time, there are 2 places to see photography that can't be missed.
One is ICP (International center of Photography), with 4 exhibits currently running that are as rich as they are varied.
We spoke about the Unknown Weegee exhibit over a week ago, but then went to see it first hand. You have seen his classic images before. Here is a collection of 120 images, never before available to the public, that gives such a deeper insight in to the man. Of particular note was coverage of an exhibit he had, where the images were tacked to the wall with section titles such as "Murders†with a drawing of a gun at the top. Not to be missed. A catalog of the show is available.
Then there is the work of Atta Kim, a contemporary artist with large scale color imagery that explores the passage of time in many ways. This work covers the first floor and will keep you there for a while.
Going back in time a bit, Tempo, Tempo! The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. A student of Maholy Nagy, these photomontages from 1920's-1930's are a visually arresting commentary on politics and women using a depth of perspective, photographs, and type to deliver the message. Also of note are some photograms, belying her teacher's influence.
To round out the visit, there is another brilliant exhibition called "Parisâ€. Along with classic images by Eugene Atget from the turn of the century, Christopher Rauschenberg has complimented this master with his own interpretation of the French capitol.
Check out ICP @ 1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street
 ,New York, NY 10036
(212) 857-0000
And we highly recommend membership in International Center of Photography: invites to openings, special member programs, and a discount on purchases.
The other stop you should make is the Fuller Building.
Located at 41 East 57th Street, this building houses an incredible number of high quality galleries. We couldn't fit in all of them but……
Briefly on our visit 2 days ago:
Zabriskie Gallery – Man's Man- Portraits of Men By Man Ray. With portraits of
Hemingway, James Joyce, Henry Miller Marcel Duchamp, Aldous Huxley, and many more, you must stop on 4th floor and enjoy.
Howard Greenberg Gallery – Photo Libris- an exhibition of important books and photographs. Each (out of print) book is shown with prints from the tome. Brilliant. 14th Floor
Cohen Amador Gallery – Taiji Matsue: Landscape – Particularly arresting about this show is the layout as you walk in and around the gallery. A perfect layout with this set of images. 6th Floor
Bonni Benrubui Gallery -Louis Stettner-Streetwise – 1947-2006. They have a wonderful website for you to peruse the show on-line, with the image and the price. 13th Floor
Yes, there are an incredible amount of photography galleries in NYC with great work exhibited. These are just 2 of our " can't miss†stops on every trip to the city. We hope you get a chance to visit in person or online. You won't be disappointed.
When you see this work, you may be moved, angered ,bored, puzzled, awed, or inspired.
We feel that as long as you feel something. the image has succeeded.
There is an indescribable emotion when you see a piece of art that touches you. It keeps your soul nourished.
If we can help set a rich buffet table for you, then we have succeeded.
Or perhaps you get inspired to create more of your photographs.
Happy Sunday!

During a stay at a resort two years ago, Carol Arand bought $4,000 in genetic tests after a spa physician praised their potential to improve her health.
If ever she got sick, Arand reasoned, she could take the results to her doctor. "I hoped that this genetic fingerprint could be useful," she said.
But that expectation — the promise that many consumers see in genetic testing — hasn't yet been realized. When Arand discovered she had breast cancer and brought the reports to a hospital earlier this year, an expert looked them over with dismay.
The information — vague statements about several dozen genetic variations and their possible health implications — was misleading and the accompanying health claims unsupported, said Tinamarie Bauman, manager of high-risk genetics at Alexian Brothers Hospital Network in the Chicago suburbs.
Many experts agree that health-related genetic testing isn't ready yet to be introduced to a mass audience. Yet several companies have been marketing tests that purport to assess serious concerns, such as the risk of developing diabetes, with remarkably little oversight.
That may be about to change. The Food and Drug Administration moved aggressively last week, putting five companies on notice that it believes personal genetic tests are medical devices and, as such, subject to regulation. Until now, the federal agency has been "conspicuous by its absence," said Dan Vorhaus, editor of the Genomics Law Report.
Three of the companies — 23andMe, Navigenics and deCode Genetics — sell personal genetic tests over the Internet. Illumina Inc. sells a chip used to scan DNA; Knome Inc. provides complete scans of an individual's genome.
The FDA first signaled a possible shift in direction after another firm, Pathway Genomics, last month moved to sell genetic test kits through Walgreens drugstores. The plan was quickly shelved, but a high-profile congressional committee launched its own investigation.
The tests prompting attention are not the highly specialized DNA scans ordered by physicians. Instead, these consumer-oriented offerings evaluate an individual's risk of developing various illnesses or responding variably to different medications, based on test findings.
That is problematic because most of the genetic contribution to disease remains unknown, as does the manner in which genes interact with each other and the environment, said Darrel Waggoner, associate professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago.
"We're at an early stage in our knowledge of the human genome," said Dr. Muin Khoury, director of the National Office of Public Health Genomics at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "What we have now is data points, not knowledge."
Yet consumers may make important medical decisions based on test results, such changing drug regimens or deciding to forgo exams such as mammograms, experts suggested.
Others respond that consumers have a right to their genetic information, however sensitive, incomplete or complicated it may be.
"Generally, I think that people can handle information and that more information is better," said Dr. David Orentlicher, co-director of the Center for Law and Health at Indiana University.
Arand, a Crystal Lake landscape designer, says she has no regrets about ordering a panel of genetic tests after attending a workshop on personalized medicine at Canyon Ranch in 2008.
Dr. Jyotsna Sahni, a physician at the Arizona resort, was the speaker. "Canyon Ranch is trying to catch you before you fall into the river of disease," she said. Information about genetic vulnerabilities can alert people to health risks and motivate them to stay healthy, she added.
The "Genovations" tests Arand took offer lifestyle advice while highlighting several dozen genetic markers allegedly linked to disease. For instance, someone with a marker linked with asthma and allergies may be told to reduce stress, get adequate sleep and exercise regularly.
But a 2008 review of a dozen personal genetics test, including Genovations, found "insufficient scientific evidence to conclude that genomic profiles are useful in measuring genetic risk for common diseases or in developing personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations for disease prevention." The paper appeared in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
Dr. Patrick Hanaway, chief medical officer of Genova Diagnostics, a North Carolina company that sells the tests, disputed that assessment, saying scientific studies exploring the value of personalized medicine are published every week. But Khoury and other experts say it's too soon to draw definitive conclusions from those findings.
At Canyon Ranch, Sahni said, "No, I don't think (the tests) are 100 percent accurate, but they give us a clue."
Arand's genetics counselor tried to be diplomatic after Arand was diagnosed with breast cancer and brought in her Genovations reports. "I told her the science isn't really fully developed yet and our genetic makeup alone is a poor predictor of future illness and disease," Bauman said.
Similar concerns have led many experts to suggest a need for tighter regulation of personal genetic tests.
Companies in this field say their primary product is information, not medical diagnoses or advice. The FDA gave no indication it disagreed with that assessment until its recent warning.
Now, the agency seems convinced that personal genetic tests deliver findings with important medical implications and, as such, should be regulated as medical devices.
"Consumers may make medical decisions in reliance on this information," Alberto Gutierrez, director of the FDA's office of in vitro diagnostics, wrote in the letters delivered last week.
Previously, companies in this field escaped oversight by claiming they offered a type of laboratory analysis that receives almost no scrutiny — so-called laboratory developed tests. The FDA doesn't evaluate this kind of test — mostly used by labs to analyze tissue slices or tumors —- though it claims the authority to do so.
While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inspects laboratory processes, it hasn't ensured that labs performing genetic tests have special proficiency. The Federal Trade Commission evaluates the legitimacy of companies' marketing claims, but to date the commission has publicly challenged only two firms selling genetic tests.
The result has been the lack of any guarantee that laboratory developed genetic tests deliver medically valid or meaningful results. This is the gap the FDA now appears ready to address, according to Gutierrez's letters.
Asked for a response to recent developments, Mountain View, Calif.-based 23andMe said it disagreed with the FDA's most recent position but was "open to discussions" about how best to regulate the personal genetics industry. San Diego's Pathway Genomics acknowledged its responsibility "to ensure public safety," and Navigenics of Foster City, Calif., cited a history of working closely with regulators.
Several experts said they hoped regulation would be flexible. The genetics revolution is sure to change the face of medicine, and it's important that innovation continue, they said.
A striking example of the two sides of personal genetic testing comes from Dr. Francis Collins, head of the National Institutes of Health, who sent off saliva samples to three leading companies last year under a pseudonym.
On the positive side, Collins learned he had two common genetic markers for Type 2 diabetes and has since dropped 20 pounds, he said at a meeting in October. But the companies' interpretations of his genetic material also differed substantially.
Arand said the limitations of current genetic tests don't worry her. She's counting on her genetic profile serving as a helpful tool for doctors in the future. In a way, she's the perfect customer for genetic testing: willing to take some risks and to be patient as the field develops.
"I know we're learning so much more about DNA every day and it's just going to get better and better," Arand said. "The tests I had may not benefit me today, but because my DNA is never going to change, maybe they'll make a difference later."
About genetic testing
•A few dozen companies offer personal genetic tests directly to consumers. Leaders are 23andMe, Navigenics, deCode Genetics and Pathway Genomics.
•The companies scan an individual's DNA at 500,000 to 1 million sites, a tiny fraction of the 6 billion sites on the human genome.
•Each company uses different genetic markers and complex algorithms to calculate a person's genetic risk of developing disease. Some markers are better established than others, and risk estimates can vary.
•Some companies, such as Genova Diagnostics, sell these tests through doctors but give the option of having results delivered directly to individuals.
During a stay at a resort two years ago, Carol Arand bought $4,000 in genetic tests after a spa physician praised their potential to improve her health.

For fans of the real football aka 'soccer', there is nothing more exciting than watching the Netherlands getting eaten by Sweden in the Euro Cup (??) or Celtic get their bums handed to them again – nothing. But then, that ain't real football. That is spectator seating, bench barking, fat fanning, etc.. Real football happens on the streets, in the alleys and on pitches around the world – much like a new game (hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge – say no more).

Mr. Yadin has 30 years experience in security and antiterrorism fields. As part of a Special Ops unit Hanan participated in high-risk missions against terrorists cells. Hanan is an expert marksman and has completed advanced training in crisis response, urban warfare and tactical operations.
During his senior high school years, Mr. Yadin was selected to be a part of a government program to combat terrorism in Israeli schools. Selected students who met certain criteria became covert marshals in the schools. The program consisted of 30-day course (Level 1) at age 16, and another course 30-day (Level 2) at age 17 in a military base. Course was coordinated by Israeli government, Israeli National Police and the IDF and included antiterrorism, tactical and security aspects related to school.
Later, as a soldier, Mr. Yadin participated in a combined multi-force maneuvers and drills that simulate attacks against civilian targets and various educational entities.
Mr. Yadin trained thousands of police officers and military operators. Mr. Yadin has also provided specialized training to the Department of Justice, Department of State as well as to the U.S. Navy Seals, US Army and US Air Force. He has trained many SWAT teams, tactical First Responders, CRTs Mr. Yadin specialized in Table-Top and Full-Scale Multi-Agency exercises. Hanan helped many critical infrastructure establishment to boost their security policies on a global level.
In the pre-9/11 environment, Mr. Yadin focused on innovative training that helped police officers boost their shooting and tactical skill sets in response to an increasingly violent criminal and terrorist element. He has trained thousands of operators in reflexive and selective shooting methods that allow operators to hit a target accurately within 1 second without the use of a gun sight.
After 9/11, Mr. Yadin was able to bring to bear all of his expertise and experience to work with American agencies in gaining a deeper understanding of radical Islam and provide proven tactical techniques to improve counter-terror operations.

Just the other day Rosamund Pike was a finalist to be Superman's new leading lady. Oh what a precipitous fall...
Instead, Pike is taking over the role of Andromeda in "Wrath of the Titans," reported Deadline. Andromeda was previously played by Alexa Davalos, a career B-movie hottie, who inexplicably is unavailable for the role.
On Sunday the tubes were abuzz with word that Pike was up against Alice Eve and Diane Kruger for the female lead in director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel reboot that's being "godfathered" by Chris Nolan.
U.S. & World
We're big Pike fans, having been wowed by her subtlety in "An Education" and her range and depth in "Barney's Version." We still think Kruger will end up opposite Superman, but Pike deserves better than to be Kraken bait.

The Band Perry, 'Chainsaw' [Listen]
The Band Perry's 'Chainsaw' finds singer Kimberly Perry playing the role of unstable ex-girlfriend. Until now she'd mostly kept a lid on her crazy, only giving glimpses in songs like 'Better Dig Two' and 'Done.' There's nothing stable about a girl swinging around a Stihl, however.
Perry is playing a character for the song (one hopes) — a character familiar to country fans in 2014. "Crazy" is working right now, and the spurned female is as popular a theme as what happens when country boys drop the tailgate. As always, the trio's lyrics are full of detail and color. She carves a unique scene.
"A jagged little heart so the whole town knew it / Carved in the bark with an arrow through it / I came out here to see it one more time / And I got my chainsaw," Perry sings to close the first verse.
Brothers Neil and Reid play the devil and angel on her shoulder, urging her on while reminding her that what's she's doing is a little insane.
"Love is shady / Love is tragic / It's hard to bury the hatchet / Holdin' a chainsaw."
The Band Perry find unique ways to blend their three voices, making each new song seem fresh from a production standpoint. The boys aren't simply relegated to backing vocals. Perhaps more than any other group, their contributions stand alongside that of their enigmatic, energetic singer.
Shane McAnnally, Josh Osborne and Matt Ramsey penned 'Chainsaw.' That's surprising, as it captures the imagination of a scorned young woman beautifully. "Crazy" isn't a quality limited to the ladies, it seems.
Why Fans Will Love It: Kimberly Perry is becoming country music's next great unstable female. It's a character, of course (we think), but this performance puts her alongside Miranda Lambert as two women not to be messed with.
Key Lyrics: "Love is shady / Love is tragic / It's hard to bury the hatchet / Holdin' a chainsaw"
Did You Know?: Songwriter Shane McAnnally is behind two of the most dramatic songs the Band Perry has released from 'Pioneer.' He also co-wrote 'Better Dig Two.'

The board of directors of the Michigan Strategic Fund has approved $6.8 million for the Michigan Pre-Seed Fund 2.0, a statewide investment fund aimed at supporting high-tech early stage companies.
The fund will be managed by InvestMichigan, a new nonprofit corporation based in Detroit that is managed by Charlie Moret, who previously ran Connecticut's pre-seed fund and most recently was managing director of technology-based entrepreneurship at Detroit's TechTown.
The $6.8 million comes from the Michigan Economic Development Corp., which plans to leverage at least $8 in outside investment for every dollar it invests in companies.
"These pre-seed funds are intended to help innovative companies take those last steps to become commercially viable and more attractive to private investors," said Paula Sorrell, the MEDC's vice president of entrepreneurship and innovation, in a news release.
"With the wealth of entrepreneurial talent we have in Michigan, we want to make sure good ideas turn into businesses that help expand and strengthen the state economy."
The fund will invest $5.8 million into high-tech startups and $1 million into the University Commercialization Fund to help universities transfer technology to the marketplace.

BELEK, Turkey (AP) — The anticipated matchup between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods on Wednesday may not count for much after both lost their opening matches at the eight-player World Golf Finals.
McIlroy lost to Matt Kuchar by six shots and Woods fell to Charl Schwartzel by one shot on Tuesday in the $5.2 million event at the Sultan course in Antalya.
In the other group of the medal match-play format, Lee Westwood beat Webb Simpson by one shot and Justin Rose defeated Hunter Mahan by four strokes.
McIlroy and Woods — ranked No. 1 and No. 2 — face each other Wednesday in the last of their three group matches, but both could already be eliminated by then. The top two in each group will advance to the semifinals.
In Wednesday's morning matches, McIlroy will face Schwartzel and Woods will play Kuchar.
Woods and Schwartzel were all-square going to the 18th when the American went into a greenside bunker and finished with a bogey.
"It came right down to the wire, but I can't believe how far that second shot flew into the back bunker and that was the match," Woods said. "'It means now that I have to play 'Kooch' and try and win that match before facing Rory in the afternoon."
McIlroy unraveled against Kuchar with a triple bogey at the 15th hole and double bogeys at 16 and 17.
"I hit a drive into the trees on 15 and lost a bit of confidence," McIlroy said. "I need to win both of my matches tomorrow if I am to advance. I just struggled for a bit of motivation out there, so I need to go out and concentrate on both of my matches tomorrow."
Kuchar, after taking a bogey at the first, birdied the next two holes and was never behind.
"I just thought I had to play mistake-free, and hopefully Rory wouldn't get too hot," the American said. "There we are all-square with four to go, he hits it right and makes triple bogey, and I go three up with three to go and I think both of us lost a little interest at that point."
The event allows players to wear shorts, and Westwood, Schwartzel, Mahan and Kuchar chose to do so. All but Mahan won their matches. Westwood wore a red shirt and white shorts in tribute to his favorite soccer club, Nottingham Forest.
"Them are footballers legs," Westwood said. "I could still play for Forest with these legs."
Kuchar said he was happy to wear shorts again. He spent the week after the Ryder Cup loss to the European with his family in Greece.
"Being able to come to an event like this that is a little more relaxed is just great to be able to throw shorts on," he said.
The winner of the event, sponsored by Turkish Airways, will receive $1.5 million.

(CNN) – Long-term exposure to air pollution has health effects similar to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for many years.
That's according to research published Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA.
The study spanned 10 years and is considered one of the largest of its kind.
Researchers looked at more than 7,000 adults in six metropolitan areas in the U.S.
They linked several pollutants in the air, including ozone and black carbon, to the development of emphysema.
The chronic lung disease shrinks the amount of oxygen that reaches your bloodstream. It's usually associated with cigarette smoking.
