Today's digital photo frames vary in dimension coming from 2 ins to approximately 40 inches! Yes, that corrects, 40 inches! The best normal dimension acquired however is coming from 7 to 10 inches – big enough to feature a 4×6 or 5×7 photo. The bigger the size, the much larger the cost.

In Australia, a woman is legally allowed to breastfeed her child wherever, whenever and however she wants or needs.
The law does not say she must put a blanket over the baby's head. It does not say she must shut herself into a private cubicle in the annals of a shopping centre. It does not say she may only feed when there is no risk of offending the delicate sensibilities of a society that worships the underwear model but cannot seem to cope with a breast being used to nurture rather than titillate.
She may feed her baby as needed, wherever that may be.
If you take issue with a woman breastfeeding in public, that is exactly what it is. YOUR ISSUE.
That is all.

Bonnie Jobe
Henry Ford Community College, Dearborn, Mich.
Henry Ford Community College Federation of Teachers, Local 1650
As an exercise physiologist and health educator at Henry Ford Community College, Bonnie Jobe likes to tell her students: "For good health, we know diet, exercise and sleep are extremely important. The fourth element for a feeling of well-being is to be charitable."
Jobe practices what she preaches. With a lifelong, irrepressible habit of volunteering for good causes, she actually stepped up her game in the last 10 years, she says, after losing both parents to cancer and wanting to mark their lives in memorable ways
After her father died of lymphoma in 2001, she raised $10,000 in a matter of months for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and was named its Woman of the Year for 2002. Her mother had died five years earlier of breast cancer—a disease that has struck serial generations of women in her family—so raising money for a cure is an ongoing project for Jobe.
Those efforts merely scratch the surface of her philanthropic work, so let us count some of the ways Jobe channels her charitable impulses.
After serving as co-chair of the White Christmas Ball for St. John Hospital, she chaired the event starting in 2009, and raised enough money last year to buy new dialysis machines and flat-screen TVs for the hospital's Renal Therapy Department. Since 2002, the ball has raised a total of $1.3 million.
She has served as a co-chair for the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, raising $222,000 to buy bioelectrical limbs.
She has also raised money for Operation Smile (which provides free surgeries for children with cleft palettes), Children's Hospital, Henry Ford Hospital, Oakwood Hospital, the Red Cross, the American Heart Association, the Detroit Historical Society, the Detroit Symphony, the Distinguished Clown Corps, the Humane Society—and the list goes on.
Jobe has served as auction chair for the Women's Survival Center, raising money to provide food, clothing and shelter for abused women and their children.
She has served as a committee member of Cass Community Services, helping to raise $185,000 in one year to help the needy and the homeless with a food service program and medical services for uninsured families and seniors.
She's been dedicated to the college, where she has taught for 34 years. Since 1978, she has chaired the Women's Recognition Luncheon, raising money for the HFCC Student Emergency Fund, which helps students overcome unforeseen financial emergencies that could knock them out of school. She enlists her students to help with Children's Hospital projects: Toys for Tots, the Gift of Reading and Shoebox gifts.
"What impresses me," says HFCC Director of Business Services Ed Wallish, who nominated Jobe as an Everyday Hero, "is how she involves her students in everything. We're working on a program to build service learning into the curriculum. She epitomizes that."
It is probably a mark of humility that Jobe did not have any idea how much money she had raised over the years until the AFT asked her for a tally. She was astonished to realize the sum would be in the millions.
"I thank the charities every day for the joy and friendships they have given me," says Jobe.

Play Galllllll x Kate Moss x Mert and Marcus
Even before seeing the Kate Moss shoot for Playboy's 60th Birthday, I knew I was going to be obsessed with it. Kate Moss doesn't do things by halves and she certainly doesn't disappoint.
The legendary fashion photographers Mert and Marcus have captured classic old school Playboy glamour as well as artistic and modern imagery in the editorial.
Each image seems to tell a different story and has its own unique charm.
My illustration is from a photograph from the shoot. This image has been used as a print on Marc Jacobs shirts. Of course, after knowing about this shirt I immediately tried to purchase it, but I can't get it shipped to the UK. I'm almost kind of tempted to get my illustration printed on a tee and wear it instead.
Although this illustration looks very much like Kate Moss, I strangely see an element of Kim Kardashian in it; I think it's possibly the lips.

Certain angles, looks, poses and styles really inspire me, and this is when I seem to create my best! I was playing around with the concept "leather" for an AW13 trend and felt inspired to create this image. I love the simplicity of only using one colour and medium to create this piece. I have also created another piece on this theme, but I believe it might be getting used in the British Mode Magazine's up and coming publication so I am not able to post it on my blog at the moment. That piece in my eyes is my best illustration yet, and I cannot wait to share it on my blog.
I have also recently created some illustrations of Paris Fashion Week catwalk looks that can be found on British Mode Magazine's website.

Illustrations from Paris Fashion Week - Day 3
For some reason yesterday I felt massive creative frustration and block. Yesterday showcased so many beautiful collections including two of my favourite brands Balenciaga and Balmin, but when pen came to paper I felt that I some how wasn't creating my best. Hopefully today will make up for yesterday. Also I haven't had the time to illustrate the LANVIN show, but have some great ideas, so will try and get them online by this evening.

What can I tell you, baby? I've always been bad.
Her hair was not the orange or strawberry color of common red-haired men, but a deep burnished copper that shone in the light of the torches. Even her eyes were red … but her skin was smooth and white, unblemished, pale as cream. Slender she was, graceful, taller than most knights, with full breasts and narrow waist and a heart-shaped face. Men's eyes that once found her did not quickly look away, not even a maester's eyes. Many called her beautiful. She was not beautiful. She was red, and terrible, and red.

More About The Jackson Angels Network
Jackson Angels Network is a grass roots movement run and funded completely by area citizens in Jackson that know there are people in their community that need help. The goal of the organization is to find those in need and connect them with the people want to help others but just sometimes don't know where to start. While encouraging those that have more than they need to give to those that don't. Although money donations are great to have we want to encourage people to give their time as well by volunteering, making there community a better place to live.
Our job is directing those in need of assistance with for items like food, clothing, rent, etc. to area agencies that can assist them. When those agencies run out of resources our goal is to be a safety net. This program has allowed us to get homeless people off the streets, provided pumpkins to area shelters for Halloween, let the public know when local homeless shelters run out of items such as diapers, take food to families living in motels, give rides to area churches and food banks.If there is a fire and a family loses everything or a family has a sudden and expected death and can't afford food or a location for a service spread the word to our network. The Jackson Angels Network even helps the community by cleaning up a local park, removing debris and graffiti. Acting member Angela Holmes said, "I am amazed over and over at how giving and caring our community has been, responding to the many needs of our clients and how willing people are to help out complete strangers. It is a beautiful thing to watch."

I've never been a fan of big, commercial ocean liner cruises. I feel that they typically put far too much emphasis on the glitz and glamour and, in the process, miss opportunities for meaningful discovery at their many fascinating destinations. This is why the Voyages to Antiquity line of programs are among my favorite Road Scholar Adventures Afloat offerings. The Voyages to Antiquity adventures were created to offer an unparalleled destination immersion and educational experience through the Mediterranean, combining the very best in cultural travel in a peaceful, informal atmosphere.
No matter which voyage you choose, you will be guaranteed an unforgettable journey through the Mediterranean, one that opens a window into the origins and genius of western civilization. My good friend Peter Spiers, Road Scholar's Senior Vice President of Strategic Outreach, is currently on Voyages to Antiquity: Venice, Athens and the Adriatic Coast with his wife. He emailed me from the Aegean Odyssey yesterday, glowing about the strong educational content and breathtaking ports:
"The on-board lecturers are outstanding, and the atmosphere is so stimulating and intellectual. In the last five days I've seen the Acropolis, the theater at Epidaurus, the walled city of Monemvasia, Olympia, Corfu, and the stunning Kotor Bay in Montenegro. On to Dubrovnik!"
Peter Spiers with his wife Melissa and captain of the Aegean Odyssey in Kotor Bay, Montenegro
Like the rest of our Road Scholar programs, Voyages to Antiquity isn't for everyone. You won't find any swanky casinos or Michelin star-rated restaurants on your vessel (though the food is consistently excellent!), and the cabins are very comfortable, straightforward and come with no unnecessary trimmings. But if your focus is education, if you truly want to learn about the culture, history, and people of the destinations you're visiting, there is no better fit than Voyages to Antiquity.
You could be exploring the architectural treasures of Istanbul, including the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque. Or enjoying an Oxford professor-led excursion in Odessa highlighted by the neo-baroque Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater and the famous Potemkin Stairs. Or exploring the wonders of Pompeii, a city frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius.
A Voyages to Antiquity group on an expert-led field trip through Venice, the City of Bridges
One of my favorite aspects of the Voyages to Antiquity programs is that it's one of the few cruise lines that have very low single supplements. They are rarely more than $500 and many times free! Solo travel is really becoming popular with Road Scholar participants, and Voyages to Antiquity has done an incredible job of making their journeys as affordable as possible.
My mission, after all, is to get you the best bang for your buck while helping you find the perfect educational adventure experience. For these reasons and so many more, I give Voyages to Antiquity my highest recommendation.

What is your favourite quote and why?
I would like to begin here a compendium of those bits of wisdom humanity perceives to be most true or without exception.
It is not necessary to name who might be credited with saying your selection, as no such person can honestly claim to have been without some outside inspiration, which catalyzed their creativity and moved them to express their insight.
Much like what you are called here to do.
If you yourself have distilled some wisdom through reflection, please allow me to present you this moment to pass it on here for consideration or perhaps start your own string.
The purpose of all this is to provide a most efficient tool for correlating the most valid ideas about morality and what we perceive to be real or important across culture or socialization. I would then like to work with you to turn this soil and see what new things (ideas) might grow. Food for the soul.
You are encouraged to emulate the creative process here so: COPY, COMBINE and TRANSFORM! Help me correlate.
Please comment in a constructive way if you agree or not with anything posted here and explain why.

Beste Arslan 10+Mar 23 2012: "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."
― Jim Morrison

The Mission Lions Club is getting dirty. Or is that muddy?
Well, at least the volleyball team members will be getting very muddy in the community's very first Mud Volleyball Tournament being held next weekend on Saturday, June 8, in Alton.
Eight mud pits have been prepared, courtesy of the City of Alton, and over 35 teams have signed up for what is shaping up to be an exciting competition. Highlighting the "friendly competition" is a challenge match between the Mission Fire Department and the Mission Police Department. Rosie Sterling, event chairman for the Mission Lions Club, assured that this is a "non-competitive, recreational" tournament.
"This is going to be a fun, exciting day. I've never seen a pro at mud volleyball," said Sterling.
It is all for charity, mixed with the fun, with profits to be used by the Mission Lions Club to support community needs such as Lions Eye Bank of Texas, Texas Lions Camp for children with disabilities, Mission Food Pantry, Comfort House, Special Olympics, eyeglasses for local schoolchildren, scholarships and more. The Mission Lions Club uses local fundraisers, such as the Mud Volleyball Tournament, to fund community projects.
In addition to the tournament, there will be lots of food booths provided by other local non-profits to benefit their organizations. These include Conway Avenue Baptist Church Youth Group—pizza and cotton candy; VMHS Booster Club—hot dogs, nachos, hot Cheetos with cheese and Frito pies; Boy Scout Troop 83/Venture Troop 8—funnel cakes, spiral potatoes and snow cones; Sharyland Leo Club—soft drinks and bottled water; Mission Police Academy—hamburgers with all the trimmings; Alton Fire Department—fajita, chicken and sausage tacos; Nuevo Amanecer – Fruit Cups and Chamoy apples; Mercedes Lions Club—kettle corn; and Donna Lions Club—tostados.
There is still room for other non-profit organizations to join in and raise funds for their charities by setting up a booth at no charge.
Local businesses, individuals and organizations are also invited to participate by sponsoring a team for the event. Individuals may sign up for a team for just $45, while team sponsorships range from $200 to $1000. Teams will consist of eight to 10 people.
"We will be holding meetings for the team captains and the vendors on Sunday, June 2. So, if you want to participate, sign up today so you can attend these briefings," said Sterling.
Specially designed "Mud Volleyball" T-shirts will be guaranteed to all players who register by June 5. There will be awards for the top three teams. First, second and third place team members will get trophies, and the sponsors or team captains for the top three teams will receive photo plaques.
In addition, awards will be presented for Best Team Name, Best Team Costume and Best Decorated Tent.
The fun starts at 8:30 a.m. on June 8 at 4-3/4 Mile North Conway in Alton. The public is encouraged to join the fun and come out to support their community organizations.

Please check back for more information about the 2015 race.
Course Description
Click here to view a map of the FedEx Ground Pittsburgh Marathon Relay course.
The FedEx Ground Pittsburgh Marathon Relay course winds through 13 wonderfully unique and historic neighborhoods of this beautiful city. Community celebrations, cheering spectators and music throughout the course will welcome runners from all over the world.
Runners will race on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, cross each of the three rivers in Pittsburgh and travel through the South Side, Oakland, Shadyside and Bloomfield neighborhoods – just to name a few. The course runs along the rivers of the City and challenges you on a hill that takes you into the University area of Pittsburgh. The last five miles are downhill as you return into the downtown area.

- GU gels will be available at locations along the course
- Salty snacks such as potato chips or pretzels will be available at locations along the course
Course Time Limit
City streets, police offices and support are contracted for specific times and cannot be extended. The following chart indicates road closure times per sector/mile and time limits per mile based on the time available for runners before the roads re-open. Some easy points to remember - all runners must be to the Birmingham Bridge by 10:20 AM and Half Marathoners must be at Mile 12, Forbes Avenue at Jumonville, by 11:00 AM.
If you cannot adhere to the scheduled time/pace per mile listed on the schedule, you will be asked to board a sweep vehicle that will take you to relay shuttle drop off area on Grant Street which is several blocks from the finish line. If you refuse to get on the vehicle, you must move to the sidewalk so traffic can resume. If you choose to continue after the course has reopened, there will be no medical support, fluid stations, or course marshals at intersections, and the course will no longer be marked. Participants after that time will not be guaranteed a time or medal.
Click here for more information on course time limits.
Relay Exchange Process
The FedEx Ground Pittsburgh Marathon Relay course is the same as the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon course. The 2-5 person relay offers a distance for everyone, regardless of their fitness level.
Each relay participant is encouraged to read the FedEx Ground Pittsburgh Marathon Relay Handbook, which explains the relay process from picking up race numbers at the GNC Live Well Pittsburgh Health and Fitness Expo to reaching the finish line at the Relay Exchange Zone.
Travel to Relay Exchanges
Because of race day traffic and road closures, it is recommended most FedEx Ground Pittsburgh Marathon Relay participants walk to exchange zones one and two from the Downtown area.
Shuttle buses will be available on race day for exchange zones three and four ONLY. Shuttles will depart from Downtown on Centre Avenue, between 6th Avenue and Chatham Square starting at 6:00 AM. Click here to view the Pick-up/Drop-off Area map. Plan to arrive at your Relay Exchange at least 30 minutes before your teammates expected arrival. If you are taking shuttles, plan on a 30-minute bus ride. Shuttles will operate until the Relay Exchange Zone closes. There are no shuttles between relay exchanges.
Click here to learn more about getting to each relay exchange zone on race day.

- Minimum age for Marathon Relay: 14 on May 4, 2014

Award Rules
All finishing participants will receive a finishers medal.
Prizes will be awarded for the top three male, female and coed teams.

★ ½ Hitchcock The best way to better understand the man who made some of our greatest movies is simply to see them. There's no case to be made for a mangy shortcut like this. All surface and formula, it takes Stephen Rebello's invaluable 1990 account of the making of "Psycho" and implodes as it tries to turn the book into camp. Anthony Hopkins plays the director as a creepy parade float. Helen Mirren is his long-suffering wife (98 min., PG-13) (Wesley Morris)

Please enter your City and State/Province OR Postal Code
The scam is called the "One Ring" scam and the scammer hopes people are just curious enough to call back the number.
Scammers use a programmed computer to call multiple, random cell phone numbers all at once and then hang up after just one ring. If the call is returned, they're charged $19.95 for an international call fee and a $9 per minute charge after that. Officials say music is played and sometimes an advertisement to make charges rack up.
Those who have responded to the calls say they come from the Caribbean, including Grenada, Antigua, Jamaica and the Virgin Islands.
If you believe you've been a victim of this scam, contact your cell phone provider immediately. No complaints have been filed in the mid-Michigan area, however, officials say the scam is spreading across the country.

Ah! Turn Me Not Away
On Sunday morning I flipped through picture after picture of women being turned away from the doors of our worship places. The Mormon Tabernacle choir sung in the background. Tears streamed down my face; many of those women are my friends. All are my sisters.
Ah! Turn me not away, Receive me tho unworthy. Hear Thou my cry, Behold, Lord, my distress.
I have performed this song countless times but the cry remains with me always. Hear Thou my cry.Read More

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (BP) -- Once he feels its flame, a child will never doubt the candle's heat. Likewise, the English Reformer William Tyndale once wrote that those who "feel" their faith will stand firm in the truth of Scripture and the promises of God.
Tyndale, convinced that English men and women needed to hear God's Word in their own language, published in 1526 the first English New Testament translated from the Greek text. Throughout the 10 years of ministry that followed, he often spoke of "feeling" -- a term he used in his earliest translation of Romans 5.
In this passage, the apostle Paul writes that we have peace with God because we are justified by faith. Moreover, by God's grace we have hope. In fact, faith gives us hope even amid tribulation. For this reason, we should rejoice in suffering. After all, Paul writes, suffering produces perseverance, which produces "feeling." At least, "feeling" is the term that Tyndale used to translate a Greek word, dokimen, rendered elsewhere as "experience," "character" or "proven character" (Romans 5:1-4).
In a note, Tyndale referred the readers of his translation to James 1:2-3, where a related Greek word, dokimion, is used. Here, James calls believers to rejoice amid tribulation, since the "testing (dokimion) of your faith" produces perseverance, which itself leads to complete Christian maturity. But, whereas James emphasizes the testing of faith through suffering, Paul in Romans 5 emphasizes the result -- that is, the tested, refined and proven faith (or, perhaps, person of faith). He writes that such "feeling," in turn, produces a hope that is assured by God's love. And this love has been poured into the believer's heart by the Holy Spirit and has been displayed by Christ's death for sinners (Romans 5:4-11).
Christians feel their faith, therefore, when refined by the intense heat of suffering, pain and persecution.
Tyndale wrote in 1528 in his book, "The Obedience of a Christian Man": "Mark this also, if God send thee to the sea and promise to go with thee and to bring thee safe to land, he will raise up a tempest against thee, to prove whether thou wilt abide by his word, and that thou mayest feel thy faith and perceive his goodness."
Tyndale noted, "For if it were always fair weather and thou never brought into such jeopardy whence his mercy only delivered thee, thy faith should be but a presumption and thou shouldest be ever unthankful to God and merciless unto thy neighbor."
He added, "Tribulation for righteousness is not a blessing only, but also a gift that God giveth unto none save his special friends. For Paul in the fifth chapter to the Romans saith, 'Tribulation maketh feeling,' that is, it maketh us feel the goodness of God and his help and the working of his Spirit. Lo Christ is never strong in us, till we be weak."
Speakers at the Missouri Baptist Convention's "Sowing in Tears" conference, Jan. 27-28, translated Tyndale's message into 21st-century English. "You will suffer," said international evangelist Sammy Tippit, who has trained pastors and proclaimed the Gospel in the hardest-to-reach regions of the world.
"This is the missing message in America. Suffering is part of the Christian life," Tippit said. But hope only comes, he added, when we are hopeless, when our hope lies only in God.
Suffering strips from us the confidence that we may have in ourselves and in our own resources. It is at that point, when we have nothing to guide us but God's promises, that we feel our faith. As Tyndale's better-known contemporary, Martin Luther, once wrote, "But this is the glory of faith, simply not to know: not to know where you are going, not to know what you are doing, not to know what you must suffer, and to follow the naked voice of God."
By the way, Tyndale ultimately felt his faith in 1536. Latched to a stake, he was strangled and burned because he wanted people to read Scripture for themselves, in their own languages. As we seek to follow God's call in our lives, would we also risk feeling our faith to scatter God's Word abroad and reach people with the Gospel?

After watching last nights game and seeing Mcrary in person I can honestly say that anyone who thinks he is even in the same class as Eddie printz is out of their mind. I've read the online postings claiming this for two years. I've waited until I saw Mcrary in person before passing judgement. Not even close. I was so under whelmed from what I saw. I would be surprised if he even played one snap at QB in college.
November 10th, 2012
7:38 am
Earl B, I have see McCrary in person and I think he's pretty special. I have not seen Printz. He must be Peyton Manning to make that comparison and McCrary must have had the worst game of his career. I would love to see Printz though because most people feel he's the real deal. I was wrong on the CG over BT prediction. Nice job BT players and coaches.

Bring the heat and McCrary wilts. He's got a good arm, but lacks big time skills. I don't see him as an SEC QB, but Vandy really doesn't belong in that conference anyway.

McCrary and Printz are both really good, but DeShaun Watson is better than them both!!!

Thought this article was a AAA round up. How did E Printz get in this discussion. Congrats to BT for a good win…

I have seen a lot of players this season number 12 Malik Reid of Maynard Jackson Atlanta if not the best he's one of the best D-Linemen in the AAA Region. With 19 sacks, 80 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, I'll put his stats up against anybody.
November 11th, 2012
9:17 pm
Well Coach, put Malik's stats up against #4 Bryson Allen-Williams from Cedar Grove, After the WA game he had 85 total tackles, 16 sacks, 23 TFL's 1 INT, 3 FC and 2 FR for TD's… and he's just a junior….Stay tuned to see his development next year…. We haven't even calculated the stats from the BT game….

McCrary has had a bit of a doen year because he didn't have the weapons on the offensive linelike he had before, I mean he had Brandon Greene (Alabama) protecting him. This year he has a true freshman in #52 Antwuan Jackson Jr. So, JMac is as good as advertised, he's just had to overcome some rebuilding. Its amazing how some of you grown people get on here and dog out 17& 18 year old boys. He's going to school at a fine institutionand obviously they've seen something in him…
November 12th, 2012
7:32 am
EarlB what game you have been watching, not one but ALL the coaches that play against Mccrary are very impressed with him. what team do you scout for? watch 2 years from now and see who will rise. How are your boys doing? Good luck to McCrary and Printz!
November 13th, 2012

McCrary is indeed a special player, we (SPX) have a pretty solid defense, and he torched us, both in the air and on the ground. He is a special kid

Complete backup of enterprise network
Handy Backup / Features / Enterprise Backup
Comments: 0
Today's backup software market offers a variety of products designed for backing up computer data to an external medium or server. While for a single PC these utilities are good, for the purpose of complete enterprise backup they are practically unusable. Even in the rare cases when the entire company consists of IT professionals that don't need any additional training, it's not wise to leave backups to each person's individual responsibility.

Year-Round Grooming Assures Ice Bond for a Good Snow Pack
Baldy's Fall Manicure is Underway
Cutting the grass and brush four to six inches on the runs at this time of year allows the grass seed and "clippings" to get spread over the runs creating a thick grass mat that allows the slope to become more stable during the rainy/early snow season. It also reduces erosion damage and minimizes run off.
First snows will now make contact with the ground to create an ice bond. This eliminates air pockets between the dirt and snow allowing for the snow pack to remain dense and durable.
Although it is only early October, Baldy's slopes are groomed and waiting for their first coating of snow.

Guest Director's Update
Cancer Survivorship Research Conference: Recovery and Beyond
I was pleasantly surprised and very gratified that this year's Fifth Biennial Cancer Survivorship Research Conference, held June 17–19 in Washington, DC, was our biggest meeting yet. Despite a weak economy and many competing scientific meetings, more than 550 researchers, patient advocates, cancer care specialists, public health officials, and others attended from 44 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and a number of foreign countries. This is testament to the rapid growth and evolution within the field of cancer survivorship, both in the rigor of scientific inquiry being pursued and the numbers of those engaged in research and care that addresses the long-term needs of cancer survivors.
Reflecting increased awareness of the potential public health impact of cancer survivorship, the CDC joined with NCI, the American Cancer Society, and the Lance Armstrong Foundation as a co-sponsor of this year's conference. All of us share the hope and belief that this national survivorship conference will act as a catalyst for future research and for promoting clinical care that helps cancer survivors and caregivers move beyond recovery. The forum certainly offered an opportunity to highlight cutting-edge survivorship science, meet and network with cancer survivorship investigators from multiple disciplines, and interact with survivors whose personal experiences were often reflected in—and may potentially be affected in the future by—this emerging field of research.
Among the major themes at this year's conference was the growing attention being paid to issues of energy balance, especially the role of physical activity and weight in cancer survivors' health-related outcomes. Emerging evidence shows that physical activity and weight loss may favorably affect not only quality of life and symptom management, but also recurrence and survival. There is also a shift in thinking around the need to develop and offer effective cancer rehabilitation programs for survivors, something that our European colleagues have embraced but has yet to become mainstream practice in the United States. While there have been cardiac rehabilitation programs in this country for many years, the growing field of exercise research among cancer survivors points toward incorporating more structured physical activity into cancer treatment and survivorship care. (See "Guidelines Urge Exercise for Cancer Patients, Survivors" in this issue.)
Experts at the meeting addressed the increasing challenge of identifying the best model of care for cancer patients to facilitate their transition from active treatment to recovery. Such a program should provide survivors with the knowledge necessary for understanding what to expect after treatment ends, including how to manage persistent problems, decrease the risk for late effects, optimize their health, and communicate effectively with their diverse health care providers to coordinate future care.
Finally, conference attendees were energized by remarks from Dr. Carolyn Clancy, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, about the new national focus on comparative effectiveness studies and financing. She challenged us to consider how we are going to best research and disseminate the kind of care that is shown to be safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered to our growing population of cancer survivors. In the end, finding the answers to these key questions may be one of our best strategies for reducing the national burden of cancer.

Director, NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship
