Causes of Incontinence in Men
The rate of incontinence in men (about 1.5 - 5%) is much lower than in women. The risk for urinary incontinence increases with age. In the United States, about 17% of men over age 60 have urinary incontinence. In older men, prostate problems and their treatments are the most common factors that affect the urinary tract. Up to 30% of men who have had surgery to remove their prostate gland experience some degree of urinary incontinence for a short time following the surgery. Most, but not all, of these patients eventually regain control.
Prostate treatments can impair the sphincter muscles that help maintain urinary control. Such treatments can be the cause of stress incontinence in men. They include the following:
Read an in-depth report on urinary incontinence with detailed information about causes, diagnosis and treatment for both men and women.

Our California villa rentals span the state, from the verdant Napa Valley in the north, which tempts wine aficionados with vineyards and tours, to the alluring oasis-in-the-desert, Palm Springs, in the south.

Mission Statement
At Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus, all of the branches of English studies — literary history and theory, criticism, analytical writing, rhetoric, professional writing and creative writing — are interrelated. The English Department sees textual and interpretive skills as crucial to the exercise of global citizenship and to the functioning of a pluralistic, democratic society. To further these ends, the students and faculty in the English department commit themselves to the critical analysis of texts and to the honest and precise articulation of ideas and values in various discourses. The rigorous study of literary and cultural texts — both from the traditional canon and from traditions historically excluded from academic study — is at the center of our work. Thus, areas of study range from British, Continental and American literatures, to the literatures of broader global communities, to works emerging from cultures such as African-American, Native-American, Asian, Caribbean, Latino, Irish, working-class and lesbian and gay.
We train our students to become knowledgeable, reflective, and articulate participants in the vital conversations of our culture. Such participation is practiced through coursework in cultural criticism, literary analysis, rhetoric, ethnographic writing, and professional writing. Finally, in the undergraduate creative writing concentration and in its Master's of Fine Arts, the English Department offers courses in poetry, fiction, playwriting, screenwriting and creative non-fiction. The major in English thus constitutes an excellent foundation for the development and exercise of the creative and critical faculties and for productive involvements in culture, society and the professions.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- A small group of protesters gathered outside the Spirit of Detroit statue today in protest of Emergency Financial Manager Kevyn Orr.
The group was organized by local church leaders in association with the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. They repeated their claims that the voting rights of citizens in Detroit have been taken away by the Emergency Manager Law.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was in Detroit last Friday calling for "mass civil disobedience." In a separate demonstration, protesters got on buses and traveled to Cleveland to demonstrate outside of the law offices of Orr's previous employer Jones Day.

My 11 year-old border collie/springer mix refuses to take Cosaquin. Our vet recommended giving him the supplement in conjunction with his Rimadyl. We found this product at our local pet store and we're thrilled with the ingredients. Keeping our fingers crossed when we arrived home that he would like it, we were excited to see he loved it! Immediately went online, found it for $7 less per bag and ordered 2 more. (Posted on 9/11/13)

A man noticed a pun contest online, so he submitted his best ten puns. He checked back when the contest was over to see if he won, but unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
Puns have been called the lowest form of humor, and a plateau is the highest form of flattery. We groan, but puns still make us laugh. As Edgar Alan Poe pointed out, "Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them."
Puns challenge the language center in your brain, working the parts that are involved with understanding language. And jokes, whether puns or not, stimulate the parts of the brain associated with positive rewards.
So let the pun begin! Jest because of Saturday's O. Henry Pun Off, we're asking for your most groan-worthy puns. Click below to get started – you can enter them in the comments, leave them on our Facebook page, or tweet us (include @thebrainstore and #pun in your message).
You could win a copy of The Pun Also Rises. And like the dog who went to the flea circus, you'll steal the show.

Headquarters jobs for 1.8 million
February 12, 2002
Management of companies and enterprises is a new sector in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The sector is composed of corporate and regional headquarters offices and holding companies and employs roughly 1.8 million workers.
Under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, the headquarters of a multinational corporation with its primary interests in the auto industry, for example, would be placed in the automobile manufacturing industry. Under NAICS, this location is moved out of manufacturing and into the new management sector. Analysts now will be able to track developments such as what happens to headquarters employment over the business cycle and which States are gaining employment in this sector.
Although relatively small—it is third from the bottom in terms of the numbers of establishments in the 20 NAICS sectors and sixth from the bottom in terms of employment—the sector reports a high wage. Only the finance and insurance sector had a higher average weekly wage.
These data are preliminary private sector U.S. totals for the first quarter of 2001 from the Covered Employment and Wages program. Additional information is available from "A first look at employment and wages using NAICS," by David R.H. Hiles, Monthly Labor Review, December 2001.

Overview of Nervous System Disorders

Neurological Disorders
The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates the body's basic functions and activities. It is made up of two major divisions, including the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (consisting of all other neural elements). The central nervous system controls vision, thought, speech, behavior, and movement. The peripheral nervous system relays information to the central nervous system about sensation from the body and the special senses such as vision, taste, and hearing and relays information back to the body for transmitting messages to muscles and glands.
In addition to the brain and spinal cord, principal organs of the nervous system include:
The nervous system is vulnerable to various disorders. Because of its complexity and the high technology used in evaluation and treatment of its disorders, the branches of medicine, physician specialists, and clinical services that manage it are as numerous and varied as the disorders and conditions.

Is Francesca's a Retail Succss or Just a Fad?
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Based on research, Francesca's Holdings (NASDAQ: FRAN) seems to be on a winning streak. The company started in 1999 in Houston and currently operates over 360 boutiques. The stores have a one of a kind upscale feel, caters to 18-35 year old women and allow managers to personalize each store providing the impression of individual stores.
Francesca's collection carries limited quantities of items to create a so-called treasure hunt ambiance. The stores carry half apparel and half accessories. The apparel is described as eclectic and sophisticated for career-oriented women who don't care to shop at a more generic store with bland fashions. New merchandise is introduced every 5 days to keep customers coming back to check all the new styles and offerings. The company only buys merchandise for delivery within 90 days to keep it fresh.
The company's spring collection focuses on classic designs, from dress, separates, pants and pastel colors like muted pinks, oranges, turquoise and green with occasional tribal and unexpected print.
The stores are spacious, clean and well laid out again creating a one of a kind and personal experience although the consumer is in a chain store.
Francesca's biggest competitors are New York based Ann Taylor (NYSE: ANN), San Diego based Charlotte Russe that was taken private by Advent International back in 2009, and Philadelphia based Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN).
Ann Taylor's spring collections are all about color blocking, graphic black and white and bold floral, which is completely opposite of Francesca's. Charlotte Russe spring forecast is a cross between both Ann Taylors and Francesca's. Urban Outfitters primary look is more laid back and BoHo California look.
Francesca's style and look is very classic and traditional, a style that has appealed to women for decades and sure to be around for some time. For this spring season Francesca seems to have the right combinations of colors, styles and fashion to make for a successful season. The company appears to have the edge over the competition.
Store Growth
The company opened 77 stores in 2012 and plans to grow the store base by reaching up to 900 stores in the US. Conversely, Ann Taylor operates approximately 960 upscale boutiques including the namesake Ann Taylor stores and the Loft brand. While Urban Outfitters operates around 600 stores in the US which include Free People, Anthropologie, BHLDN and Terrain brands. Charlotte Russe has around 560 stores providing the best comparison, but unfortunately the private company doesn't have financials to analyze.
None of the companies have a single brand with more than 560 stores so whether Francesca's can reach the lofty 900-store level goal without cannibalizing existing stores could become a question. The company does have 6 stores in the small state of Arkansas suggesting it has the style and price points supportable my markets as small as Fort Smith.
In the end, Francesca's has the right concept as far as the one of a kind boutique shopping experience that consumers are drawn to.
Solid Holiday Sales
The company reported solid holiday numbers with sales expected to now rise 37% over last year. Francesca's expects comp sales to increase an impressive 7 to 8%. Analysts now expect earnings to soar 50% to $0.30 after originally expecting a 40% jump to $0.28.
In general, analysts forecast a strong 5-year growth rate of over 30%. The stock currently trades at nearly 22x forward earnings. It appears attractive at these levels and currently trades roughly $9 below the all-time high around $37. Even after forecasting better than expected holiday results, the stock has had a limited rebound from the lows.

A Toronto company called Yangaroo has developed a new software that will didistribute music through the Internet. What's that you say? That's arleady being done?
Well, yes and only for you best price for generic levitra no. As anyone who works in newsrooms or radio stations know, CDs are still being delivered by the dozens every day for reviews and previews.
The technology, called Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS), is currently being used by major record lables to transmit artists' singles over the Internet to radio stations and the company has just signed a partnership with Indie911, a network that distributes for more than 45,000 artists. Distributing via the Internet makes getting their music into the hands of generic viagra samples radio station programming directors that much cheaper and faster. Previously this process was done over snail mail with promotional CDs. Each CD wastes about 0.7 pounds of fossil fuel.
DMDS is a web-based delivery system that sends broadcast quality digital files using encryption and watermarking. It also promises to dependablehealthcareservices.com be a very secure system, for those who want to use the tramadol online next day technology to send classified information. The biometric security system prevents password sharing by creating an individual profile for each user based upon their highly individual typing rhythms, which we find quite cool, but also kinda creepy.
For now, Yangaroo is distributing its service for free, but once radio stations are hooked, the company plans to start charging a fee-per-use charge.

But the big deal in digital delivery is buy generic levitra online radio's widespread deployment of automation. At my stations, we rarely ripped CDs into the system. All the sharing of announcers between stations requires uniform file numbers, and this is best handled centrally. So we were more likely to pull a song off the WAN than enter it ourselves.
As for MP3s and sound quality: have you actually listened to follow link cialis lowest price a broadcast station recently? They're so spectacularly over-processed that fretting over sample rates and codecs is truly academic. This will change as more stations originate HD programming.

Two school employees in Brooklyn are accused of sexually abusing two teenage female students.
William Abreu, assistant principal at the Progress High School for Professional Careers in Williamsburg and Juan Martinez of Progress Inc., an after-school program, allegedly forced the students to perform sex acts on them when both were hired to do clerical-type work.
One of the girls was comforted by Abreu in 2009 after she came to him with concerns about being bullied. He offered her a job and eventually the girl was required to perform sex acts on Abreu, according to a report released by the office that investigates misconduct in New York City schools.
The second girl was an illegal immigrant. She reportedly said she had to pay Abreu for being his girlfriend or he threatened to go to the immigration authorities. Abreu allegedly raped the girl over the course of a month.
The report also says Abreu took $1,500 from the girl's mother and promised falsely that he would use it to hire an immigration lawyer for her.
The investigation began after Abreu was suspended for making inappropriate comments to three female teenage students.
Martinez is accused of forcing a 16-year-old student to perform oral sex on him in 2011.
Education department officials are seeking Abreu's termination, according to Erin Hughes, a spokeswoman for the department.Martinez is ineligible to work for the department.

As of tomorrow at 3:30, my husband and I will be on a road trip. We're headed to Memphis, Tennessee so that I can attend the Southern Placement Exchange, a job fair for Higher Education.
Memphis is 17 hours from here, so we're driving to Akron, Ohio first to spend the night at a family friend's and then we will be on our way early Thursday morning. We have some books on tape for the ride and we're big fans of the game 20 Questions, so I think it's going to be manageable. We'll have road trip snacks as well, of course. Sour gummy worms all the way.
I have seven interviews lined up so far, so there's a lot at stake at this exchange. I'm excited for the possibilities, but a little anxious too, to be honest. I'm a confident person and usually at ease during interviews, but this is my career we're talking about. Not just working at a pizza shop 15 hours a week, but a real, professional career. I'm spending the night researching these positions and their institutions, and getting my interview questions ready. Hopefully by the time my first interview comes around on Friday, I'm more than ready to tackle it with poise.
I'll be back on Thursday or Friday, but with most of my attention on SPE, I can't promise too much. Wish me luck!

Today it was announced that Colorado was awarded one of the Race to the Top: Early Learning Challenge Fund grants. What that means: the state will receive 29.9 million in federal funds to
The State Library has announced that One Book 4 Colorado, the program that gives the same book to every 4-year-old in Colorado, will be ON again in 2013! But this year they need something from librarians and early childhood educators - our book suggestions! What books do YOU think every 4-year-old should read? There are a few guidelines you must stick to, however:
Oregon libraries are pioneering an early literacy program that will tie a parents' early literacy activities with their young children to college savings accounts. The program, called "Project Ready to Learn," will add 2 cents to a child's college account every time they check out a book from the library or participate in an approved library learning program. The parent will swipe a card that also gives them discounts at local restaurants and other locations.
Texas Women's University (TWU) in Denton, Texas is joining the University of Denver in offering a program for library students specializing in early literacy.
CLEL member Babette R. has written a wonderful summary of a recently-released study that indicates that poverty has a greater impact on a child's cognitive development than early childhood education, whether or not a parent reads to the child. She concludes, and rightly so, that early childhood education, while important, will not close the achievement gap if we do not also work to eradicate poverty.
Saroj Ghoting, at the request of the Library of Virginia in support of an online class, created a series of videos explaining what early literacy tips in storytime are, and showing how to present them to parents in storytime. Here, she demonstrates the difference between and effective early literacy aside and one that is ineffective:
We all know that Summer Reading Programs ("SRP") are a great way for school-aged kids to avoid the "summer slide" - dropping several grade levels of reading ability because they aren't picking up books over their vacation. But for kids who are not yet reading on their own, the summer is a great time to continue developing those early literacy skills that are so important to learning to read.
A new campaign by RIF is asking Book People to Unite in the name of getting books in the hands of kids who need them. From their website:
Via NAEYC comes this preview of Michael Rosen's new book of early literacy activities called You, Me, and the ABCs: 100 Ready-to-Read Activities for Kids and Their Favorite Grownups.
May has arrived and my thoughts turn to....NEW STORYTIME BOOKS! I'm fortunate enough that in May I get to give each of the children in the preschools I visit a new book to keep (thanks to our library foundation) but that leaves me less time for storytime. So I generally go themeless, and plan simply to share some great NEW books with the kids. Here are some of the new ones I've found and am loving:

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Avoiding Trans Fats in Restaurants
Not a Quick Fix continued...
Unfortunately, fixing the American diet will take much more than eliminating trans fats from restaurant and home menus.
"We need to help consumers understand that good health is more than eliminating a single food," she says. "It is a lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, a healthy diet and being at a healthy weight."
Lichtenstein thinks reducing obesity should top the list of ways to prevent heart disease.
"The big gorilla in the room is body weight, and it is getting worse instead of better," she says.
American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Bonnie Taub-Dix, MS, RD, agrees.
"Banning trans fats in restaurants does not address the obesity issue, which is due, in part, to eating large portions of high-fat foods," she says. "Even if the fettuccine Alfredo is trans fat-free, it is still loaded with fat and calories."
Legislate or Educate?
Isn't it enough to inform consumers about trans fats, without letting lawmakers decide which foods we should avoid?
Taub-Dix thinks it is an excellent idea to encourage restaurants to use healthier fats. But she thinks it is more important to educate consumers.
"We need consumers to take responsibility to learn more about the food they eat and how it affects their health, whether they are eating at home, ordering takeout, or at a restaurant," she says.
Consumers need a crash course in all kinds of fats in the diet, she says.
"People think trans fat-free means fat-free, which is the wrong message that can be misinterpreted and lead to overeating," says Taub-Dix.
She is concerned that food packages and restaurant menus boasting "zero trans fats" may end up misleading consumers.
"In the grocery store, read the labels; and in restaurants, ask a few questions to make sure the trans fats have not been replaced with unhealthy saturated fats," she says. "And also be mindful of portion sizes and calories."
A Healthier Lifestyle
Start learning where trans fats tend to lurk, so you can stay clear of these foods in restaurants. And when you go grocery shopping, be sure to read food labels to keep these artery-cloggers from finding their way into your cart.
It's also important to reduce your risk for heart disease and other chronic diseases by adopting a healthier lifestyle that includes:
- Getting regular physical activity.
- Limiting portion sizes, and saturated and trans fats.
- Adding daily plant stanols to your diet to help reduce LDL.
- Choosing lean meats, poultry, cold-water fish, and low-fat or non-fat dairy foods.
- Enjoying plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, which increase dietary fiber.

Down the road, could Google buy Ford?
The tech titan may want an automaker as it pursues its plan for a driverless car.
By Dana Blackenhorn, TheStreet
Sometimes I engage in a silly exercise of who might buy whom, based strictly on market cap.
In playing the game early this week I noticed that Google (GOOG) is now worth more than $240 billion and Ford Motor (F) is worth just less than $52 billion. Google could buy Ford more than four times over.
The idea sounds ridiculous, until you realize how much work Google has been doing in the last few years on self-driving cars.
Car companies and tech companies are growing closer. Google has a deal with Hyundai to put its Google Maps into select vehicles, starting this year. All car companies have been increasing the amount of electronics in their vehicles -- it's a relatively cheap upgrade that can add significantly to the price and perceived value of a new vehicle.
Car companies are also getting more serious about autonomy, which is what they call the way station on the road to self-driving cars. At the Consumer Electronics Show this week, Toyota Motor's (TM) Lexus division announced an "active safety" concept car, equipped with lasers, cameras and radar that make a driver more like an airline pilot. Drivers are technically in charge, but more and more of the work is being done by the computer.
Smiling in the back seat with an iPad
KPMG has produced a white paper on driverless cars; it forecasts that the necessary regulatory, design and market changes required to put the vehicles on the road could be in place by 2025.
The KPMG paper (.pdf file) is filled with pictures of happy young executives in back seats smiling over iPads. But I think the market reality is different. Once these vehicles become available, I can easily see drunk drivers sentenced to using them, and older drivers being pushed into them by their worried offspring.
Even semi-autonomous cars -- like those Toyota is working on now -- might, once they come down in price, be scooped up by driving schools. Those deals might push new drivers toward them.
Avis Budget Group's (CAR) recent announcement that it would acquire Zipcar (ZIP) is another marker on this road. Why should a Zipcar sit at a train station waiting for its driver? Why couldn't it come to you? And if it's already coming to you, why couldn't you plug in your destination and just act as a back-up on the way there?
An urban revolution
Self-driving cars could be a revolution for our cities. It's easy to see the market model moving from purchase to short-term rental, and to see most cars spending their days on the road, not stuck in parking lots. Right now, parking represents one-third of the physical space in many of our cities.
Self-driving cars could also, in theory, take up less space on roads. No more of that confusion you always face at exits, with drivers darting across multiple lanes after suddenly realizing they did indeed want to get off there. No more speed demons darting in and out, either, and fewer slowpokes making the speed demons even more dangerous. Relative speeds are what create the most danger on our roads.
That, and drivers impaired by age, drink, drugs, cellphones, hamburgers, hot coffee, ADD (squirrel!) and kids fighting in the back seat.
But here's another market reality: I don't expect car companies like Toyota or Ford to simply give over control of their cars to some tech outfit. They will want to create their own technology regardless of the cost, and their influence on regulators could easily be used to keep tech-heavy rivals out of the market.
If the tech companies want in, they may have to buy their way in.
Now consider this: Ford had revenue of $136 billion last year. Google had revenue of $38 billion. When Google decided it needed to get into phone hardware to make headway in that market, it did not hesitate to buy Motorola Mobility, never mind the margin hit.
A combined "Foogle" would have had earnings of $4 billion on revenue of $46 billion last quarter, by my calculation.
So call me crazy. But just watch the technology evolve over the next few years. By this time in 2018, I may not sound so crazy.
At the time of publication the author had positions in Google and Ford.
More from TheStreet.com
Short sighted perspective, driving a vehicle with fancy electronics is much different than what Google has on the market today. Not to say anything is never possible but the recent turmoil that the Automobile companies went thru, especially Ford, it has become obvious that wandering off into unknown products and territory can be seriously detrimental to corporate health. Remember the CEO of Ford during the early late nineties and early 2000's whom said, " We are a Global Conglomerate Corporation who just happens to be a Car Company? He's now cooling his heels on an Australian Beach, and Ford's stock still has never returned to it's previous highs. Automotive consumers are a very picky breed, and it takes a business with full concentration on their end product to succeed as the Ex-Ceo of General Motors will testify. Remember when Hyundai first started out in the car business?....in the early eighties? They built a cheap attractive little car that would just fall apart at 50,000 miles! Hyundai was a corporate stalwart producing many, many products then. A product specific corporation that hones their skills and never takes their eyes off of the ball will succeed, not otherwise as proven by the likes of auto companies such as Studebaker, American Motors, etc.
I am tolerant of people that do not share my opinion and have another point of view. But I certainly do not agree with people who have another opinion and who are not tolerant of a different opinion. Just because I enjoy driving for my previous reasons stated does not mean that I am a control freak, define myself by my possession or am against change. I just thank a car that drive itself is useless and is inefficient. That is why we have Public Transportation as it moves more people for less expense creating less traffic and will save fuel. And for environmental freaks save the planet from global warming.
But again I say everyone is entitled to their opinion, which I feel that I deserve without being personally attacked. Please respectfully disagree..
,more lawsuits- this is the year owners win- black cessation-
whites own not a decent percent in any company and i am not paying a lot for this leak
i repeat google is owned by ras- viacom- viacom staff illegal and all sales or deals are off-
not one legal company on the nyse-
so what does that equate or compute in loss-
no more stock- attorney general on hot seat incompetence- state has documents and courts verifying name change of ownership and s-4 filings- show details of those who are involved in conspiracy and stocks and securities fraud
ok....what's wrong with this picture? If Ford had revenues that were about 2.5 times it's estimated value, but Google had revenues less than 1/6th of its estimated worth, then who is really the stronger company?
Personally, I think a lot of the so-called "tech" companies are vastly overrated. But hey, I've only worked in the thech industry for over 30 years.......what do I know?!?! hahahahahaaaaa!!!
The US auto-companies have already outsourced our jobs to such a ridiculous degree that Japanese car companies such as Toyota hier more Americans then US auto-companies do. So what would this be, a continuiation of the same trend, but this time out-sourcing the driver to one of Google's computers?
This wouldn't surprise me in the least, given the trend of outsourcing and all, in general :o :p

Task Force denounces Michigan Supreme Court ruling on health insurance benefits
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
(Office) 646.358.1465
(Cell) 917.704.6358
Task Force denounces Michigan Supreme Court decision stripping health insurance benefits of same-sex partners of employees at universities and public-sector employers
WASHINGTON, May 7 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force denounces the Michigan Supreme Court ruling mandating that local governments and state universities can't offer health insurance to the same-sex partners of their employees. The court ruled 5–2 that Michigan's 2004 ban against same-sex marriage also blocks domestic partner policies affecting employees with same-sex partners at universities and other public-sector employers.
Statement by Dave Noble,
Director of Public Policy & Government Affairs
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"Michigan families, like families everywhere, desperately need health care and other basic benefits that domestic partnerships confer, especially in these tough economic times. It is shameful that many families will now be placed at risk of not being covered by health insurance that they obviously depend on. Today's ruling is tragic."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

A Gentler Way to Prevent Breast Cancer
For several years, there's been one sunny spot in the cloudy field of breast cancer prevention: exercise. Studies have shown that women who work out with some vigor and regularity reduce their risk of developing this scary disease, which kills 40,000 women a year. A new study presents even brighter news. According to researchers at the Northern California Cancer Center in San Francisco, you can bask in similar benefits without exercising too hard or hitting the gym.
The researchers interviewed more than 2,500 women—some with and some without breast cancer—about their exercise habits from their teen years on. When they looked at all kinds of activity, the findings were consistent with other studies: Serious exercisers had less breast cancer than sedentary women.
But the surprise came when they tallied the women's moderate activities, like brisk walking, ballroom dancing, bowling, housecleaning, and gardening. Women with an average of 17 hours or more of moderate activity per week had a 33 percent lower cancer rate than the least active women in their category. "That's important because it suggests that women don't need to run marathons to do something useful for their health," says epidemiologist and study investigator Esther M. John.
Soon the researchers will use their data to tackle another lingering question: whether you can better reduce your breast cancer risk by being active during a particular time in your life.
Until then, there's no time like the present to take steps to protect your breast health. And taking steps, across the dance floor or down the street, may be all you need.

How is non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated?
Chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Chemotherapy (often called "chemo") refers to the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Usually the drugs are given into a vein (IV) or by mouth (as pills). Once the drugs enter the bloodstream, they spread through the body, making this treatment very useful for lymphoma. Chemo drugs are also sometimes put right into the spinal fluid to treat lymphoma cells in the brain or spinal cord.
Chemo may be used alone or along with radiation treatment.
Doctors give chemo in cycles, in which a round of treatment is followed by a rest period to allow the body time to recover. Each chemo cycle usually lasts for a few weeks. Most treatments are given in the doctor's office (or clinic) on an outpatient basis, but some must be given in the hospital.
A patient may start on one combination of drugs and later be switched to a different combination if the first one doesn't seem to be working.
Possible side effects
While chemo drugs kill cancer cells, they also damage normal cells, causing side effects. The exact side effects depend on the type and dose of drugs used and the length of time they are taken. Side effects can include the following:
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Greater chance of infection (from low white blood cell counts)
- Easy bruising or bleeding (from low platelet counts)
- Fatigue (from low red blood cell counts)
Most of these side effects are short term and go away after treatment ends. There are often ways to lessen these side effects. For example, there are drugs to help prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting.
Certain chemo drugs have specific possible side effects. For instance, some drugs can damage the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, testicles, ovaries or brain. If serious side effects occur, chemo may have to be reduced or stopped, at least for a short time.
Chemotherapy can also cause side effects that might not occur until years after treatment. For example, in rare cases, people may develop leukemia several years later.
Tumor lysis syndrome can be a side effect of chemo. It is caused by the death of many cancer cells in a short period, often during treatment with chemo. When the cells die, they break open and release their contents into the bloodstream. This "cell waste" can affect the kidneys, heart, and nervous system. Because this only happens if many cells die at once, it is most common in the first cycle of chemo. To prevent this problem, extra fluids and certain drugs may be given to the patient.
Other drugs used to treat lymphoma
As doctors have learned more about the changes in cells that cause cancer, they have been able to create newer drugs that are aimed right at these changes. These drugs are often referred to as targeted therapy. These drugs work differently from standard chemo drugs and often have different (and less severe) side effects. These drugs include bortezomib (Velcade®) and romidepsin (Istodax®).

On 'Hosting the Stranger'1
On January 14, 2009 Richard Kearney of Boston College and Gloriana Davenport of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology inaugurated a series of lectures at Boston College, several of which have been adapted for this collection, on the theme of 'hospitality.' They called their endeavor The Guestbook Project.2 As Professor Kearney mentioned on more than one occasion, this was a venture with risks, indeed a kind of Pascalian wager; for the guest, the stranger can bear the gift of death as easily as the gift of life. From its linguistic roots in hostis, which gestures simultaneously toward hostility and hospitality, to our contemporary world of suspicion, background checks, and war, hospitality, when offered to the stranger, to the other or the unknown, is frequently delivered (and sometimes received) only with a frown, or with strings attached, or behind a metal detector. Indeed in an important sense, on our planet seven billion strong, we have abandoned, at least temporarily, the very project of hospitality. Instead of hosting the stranger we have opted for a different — if no less archaic — vision of community, a dark heaven of gated communities and nations, of dreams (and even realities) of electrified fences stretching hundreds and thousand of kilometers across boarders, out into space, from here to eternity.
So why try to be hospitable, why attempt even to discover or invent its possible language? Only to assuage our guilt? To essay the impossible? To alleviate our solitudes? The obscure and perhaps even dark reasons for this encounter matter less than the necessity of the activity. What is certain is that the other isnt going away she never left. As the essays, articles, poems, images and videos gathered here bear witness, the other, the foreigner, the stranger, is everywhere -- both intriguing and repulsive, frequently at the same time. Why wont the dame à la licorne once and for all reveal her meaning to us? What is she hiding? How can our religious traditions both command hospitality to the stranger and tolerate, and at times even encourage, the demonization (or as in the cases of the Book of Kings and the French town of Loudun, maim and kill) those who dont (or even do) worship the same God that we do? Why does poetry, the pride of our tongue, insist on making our own language strange to us? Could it be that the otherness of our own selves is the most welcome, the most terrifying of strangers? While the materials gathered here dont present final answers to these questions, they do attempt to create a ground on which they can be asked, face to face.
— Thomas Epstein
- After a several year hiatus New Arcadia Review returns with an act of hospitality and an expression of gratitude: to and for Richard Kearney, whose ongoing project, religiously ecumenical, philosophically pluralistic, politically engaged, far-flung geographically and more than open to the arts, inspires this gathering of spirits.

Blake Lively
Blake Lively is one of America's favorite sweethearts with her overnight success as Serena on the new hit TV show Gossip Girl. Working with Leighton Meester. Blake Lively is dating Penn Badgley. Pictures of Blake lively at work on Gossip GIrls photo gallery and red carpet pics.
She's busy getting fans excited about her newly launched lifestyle website Preserve and during promotions, Blake Lively scored the cover of Marie Claire magazine's September 2014 issue.
During her interview, the former "Gossip Girl" queen chats about everything from having kids with hubby Ryan Reynolds to her new brand.
She certainly lives a charmed life, and Blake Lively hopes to share the silver screen with her handsome husband Ryan Reynolds again soon.
Having worked with the "Van Wilder" stud on "The Green Lantern" in 2011, Ms. Lively can't wait to team up again, at least that's what she told fans during a Q&A session on Vogue's Twitter account on Monday .
As a 26-year-old film and television star, Blake Lively isn't exactly a peer to 72-year-old Martha Stewart, but that hasn't stopped them from striking up a close friendship.
In her interview with the Huffington Post, the legendary lifestyle guru explained that her affinity for Ms. Lively goes back a few years.
She's featured on the August 2014 cover of Vogue, and Blake Lively took part in the mag's fun '73 Questions' segment.
During her light interrogation, the "Gossip Girl" beauty revealed a few interesting tidbits about herself including a sweet gift from hubby Ryan Reynolds.
She's a few days earlier than expected, but that's totally okay with us! We're referring to Blake Lively launching her new lifestyle website, Preserve, on Monday (July 21).
In addition to the debut, the "Gossip Girl" beauty explained to her audience what to expect from the site in a Letter from the Editor.
Landing on the cover of the most coveted fashion magazine, Blake Lively dished about her new lifestyle brand in the August 2014 issue of Vogue magazine.
After posing for the outdoor shoot with Mario Testino, the "Gossip Girl" beauty chatted about criticism she received from Preserve and how Martha Stewart saved her wedding with Ryan Reynolds.
Up to this point, she's been known for great acting and a few high-profile ad campaigns, but that's all about to change for Blake Lively.
The "Gossip Girl" star will launch her new lifestyle website next week, and according to an insider she's already picked the name- Preserve.
With plenty of cred in the movie business, Blake Lively hopes to translate her screen success into merchandising money via her new lifestyle website.
The "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" starlet will kick off Blake Lively Lifestyle on July 23rd, though it sounds quite similar to Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP project.
She's always great about keeping her fans informed, and Beyoncé Knowles just posted a smattering of snapshots from her "Run" music video shoot with husband Jay Z.
The "Single Ladies" songstress included photographs of herself with "Shameless" star Emmy Rossum and "Gossip Girl" gal Blake Lively as well as a still of Jake Gyllenhaal.
Celebrating one year since their Sound for Change extravaganza, Gucci threw a massive Chime for Change shindig at their Fifth Avenue flagship store last night (June 3).
Beyoncé Knowles and her sister Solange both showed up at the bash, making their first public appearance together since the infamous Met Gala elevator incident last month.

Gnome uses Nautilus as it's file manager and ultimately the desktop manager. And Ubuntu uses Gnome. I like a clean desktop. But every time I mount a drive, a new icon is added to my desktop. This just will not do. It seems that on at least one of my installations recently I was able to disable them by checking a box somewhere. For the life of me though I can not retrace my steps. Some Googling turned up this which did just what I was looking for, but my memory still fails me.

Servings: 2 pies
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2-sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Whipped Cream:
2 pint (4-cups) heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) pie plates; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pies cool, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use. Spread the whipped cream over the pies and serve.
I substituted the flour for rice flour and made it Gluten free for my daughter with Celiac disease...and served it warm with vanilla ice cream on top.....YUM!!!

Hi everyone who reads this.... I just wanted to say how great I think it is the success that Paula and her family lucked into, my problem is reading her itinerary at the bottom where no cameras are allowed...after she and her family have become foodie "icons" they don't allow people to take their pic, unless through a professional photographer I may be wrong but their britches got a little too big now to take a pic of someone who was just like them not too long ago have a picture for free? God bless them. I do wish them continued success and she still is my fave on food network, or Ree Drummond is a close second. Bring back the days when you were one of us is all I am saying.... MP
By Marion Pella on January 07, 2013
Have you all made and served the whipped topping with this or offered it as an option people could put on? Do you serve it warm? Wondered about ice cream as well.

I hope someone can answer me, as I am planning to make this today for the Thanksgiving dessert since my 5 yr old daughter picked this one Thanks...and Happy Thanksgiving!

Is the center supposed to be gooey? I baked this until the top was "more than golden brown" and the center was still gooey. Help! I love this recipe but don't want to make anyone sick.
By Karyn Boaz on March 28, 2011
Way to knock another one out of the park, Paula!!! Girl you have made my family think they have died & gone to Southern food Heaven! =)) I made this today after seeing it on the show as a "throw-together" because I had all ingredients on-hand; I wanted to see if it was good enough to make for Christmas for both my family & the in-laws since it made 2. Admittedly, I was afraid it would be too easy, like I had taken some short-cuts or something. I was definitely wrong!! 3 teenagers took out 1 whole pie in about 10 minutes, and it is definitely going to both Christmases!! Ah---ma--zing!!!
By Star on December 21, 2010

Why does it take so long to get things done?
Case in point, it was decided months ago that life saving cable barriers would be installed in the median along Interstate 20 in Bossier and Webster parishes. The barriers would be similar to these already in place on highways throughout Texas and Arkansas. They are proven life savers preventing out of control cars from crossing the median and slamming into traffic coming the other way.
But here we are and the installation is already five months behind schedule. State highway officials blame dirt for the hold up. They say dirt needed for the project has not yet been approved. Why is that so difficult? Weather is also an excuse.
Families of those killed in crossover accidents are trying to keep the pressure on state officials to get the barriers installed. But it may take the intervention of state lawmakers in north Louisiana to step up and get this project back on track before others are needlessly killed.
I'm James Smith.

Vidya Balan: Star style file
Click on, for the best looks of Vidya Balan, whose 'Bobby Jasoos' hits the screens this week
From the frizzy-haired Radhika Mathur of 'Hum Paanch', to the spunky Silk of 'Dirty Picture' and the resolute protagonist of 'Kahaani', Vidya Balan sure has come a long way.
Almost always spotted in traditional wear, this 36-year-old doesn't succumb to fashion trends and sticks to what she feels suits her personality.
Like a lot of Bollywood actresses, Vidya too enjoys Sabyasachi's creations and is often seen draped in them. During the promos for 'Shaadi ke Side Effects' she's been experimenting a bit, choosing dresses, tunics and flowy maxis for a bit of Boho style.
